How does Sinorides manufacture and install amusement rides?

In recent years, mechanical amusement rides have become increasingly popular for leisure and entertainment. While these rides bring joy to tourists, safety concerns are also paramount. In China, large and medium-sized amusement rides fall under the category of special equipment and are strictly regulated by the government. As a manufacturer of amusement rides in China, Sinorides is committed to designing, producing, and installing only qualified and safe products. To achieve this goal, Sinorides has implemented nine quality control steps that cover everything from order signing to after-sales service. By doing so, they strive to provide customers and tourists with high-quality and safe amusement ride products.

I. Order Signing and Production Arrangement

Before signing each order for amusement equipment, an evaluation should be conducted to ensure compliance with legal terms and the technical team’s ability to support design and production. The enterprise’s production equipment, quality inspection capabilities, and production arrangement must also meet the needs of the order products.

After signing the order, a technical meeting should be held to conduct a comprehensive analysis of technical requirements. This includes preparing technical drawings and data while analyzing the production situation of ordered products. Production conditions such as venue, equipment, personnel etc., should be reasonably arranged along with procurement of raw materials and standard parts for efficient execution of orders.

 

II. Technical Preparation

To meet the requirements of the amusement ride order, we prepare relevant technical information for machinery, electrical systems, and appearance. Our production staff collaborates with mechanical and electrical technicians to review and develop technical solutions. These specific solutions are then implemented step-by-step throughout the production process.

Mechanical Technology:

  1. We modify the 3D model and mechanical structure to meet technical requirements of orders. We recalculate and analyze transmission systems, evaluate safety, and ensure that our technical designs meet customer requirements as well as environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed etc.
  2. Our production technicians improve mechanical processing technology according to technical solutions. This reduces processing difficulty and cost while ensuring product quality. We also form a product processing plan.
  3. Based on technical information and solutions we draw drawings and write material lists. We coordinate with production, process, and quality inspection departments for the next step of work.

Electrical Technology

  1. Revise the electrical control flow chart, circuit schematic diagram, and complete machine circuit diagram. Additionally, select and assess the main electrical components for safety in accordance with the technical requirements of the order.
  2. Create electrical drawings and material lists based on the requirements of electrical technology. Organize layout drawings for the electrical control cabinet while coordinating with production, procurement, and quality inspection departments to ensure smooth workflow.

Appearance Design

  1. To create new appearance models, we require computer 3D design and 3D printing of the models. This is followed by mold opening, production of fiberglass exterior decoration pieces, spray painting with the specified color in the order, and installation of decorative light groups.
  2. For existing appearance models, we produce fiberglass exterior decoration pieces according to the process. We then spray paint them with the required color specified in the order and install decorative light groups.

 

 

III. Preparation of Raw Materials for Production

Preparing raw materials for production involves purchasing various steel and auxiliary processing materials, as well as electrical components. Ensuring a timely supply of these materials is crucial to meeting delivery deadlines for orders.

  1. The purchase list is determined based on the order requirements and material list. This includes profiles such as steel plates, square tubes, rectangular tubes, round steel, etc., standard parts like bolts, nuts, pins, bearings, etc., and electrical products such as transformers, circuit breakers, relays and power cables.
  2. Raw materials that comply with local standards must be purchased according to the order requirements. For instance: all orders must purchase brand models that comply with Chinese national standards. Brand models that meet European and American standards can be purchased for export orders based on customer specifications. Non-standard electrical products are not allowed for procurement.
  3. For raw materials requiring external processing (such as hot-dip galvanizing or heat treatment), suppliers should be contacted promptly for production while ensuring quality inspection is done well.

 

IV. Production and Quality Inspection

A quality plan is developed before the production of amusement equipment, which includes control points, inspection items, inspection content, and inspection methods. Inspections are carried out gradually and item by item during the production process according to the requirements of the quality plan to ensure any existing quality problems can be discovered and equipment quality is guaranteed.

The specific plan for quality inspection during the production process in the workshop is as follows:
  1. Incoming material inspection:When all raw materials are purchased, suppliers must provide a material report. After receiving all materials, warehouse management personnel convene with technical and production department personnel to inspect them. Materials can only be put into storage after passing inspections; otherwise return procedures will be carried out.
  2. Heat treatment inspection: Important pins and parts undergo heat treatment according to technical documents and drawings’ requirements. For important shafts that have passed heat treatment, hardness testing is carried out one by one with recorded data; those that do not meet hardness requirements are treated as unqualified products.
  3. Machined parts accuracy inspection: All steel structural parts required by equipment’s production drawings such as CNC machine tools or laser cutting machines are completed then inspected one by one by a quality inspector who keeps records.
  4. Mechanical parts production & quality inspection: After processing steel structural parts welding takes place according to drawings’ technical requirements where accuracy checks occur throughout this stage before using these parts.
  5. Non-destructive testing of important welds: Non-destructive testing occurs on important welds based on drawing’s technical documents ensuring they meet safety standards

 

 

V. Assembly Testing 

Assembly Testing for Mechanical, FRP Appearance Parts, and Electrical Control Cabinet

Once the raw materials for amusement equipment are ready, our production department will assemble the mechanical iron parts according to technical drawings provided by our technical team. Each iron part connection is marked with a number to assist customers who need to assemble it themselves. Our sales staff follows up with the production and technical departments to create installation diagrams that help customers install their equipment independently and handle simple after-sales service.

After assembling the mechanical parts, we move on to assembling the FRP parts. The FRP connections must be smooth without any cracks or defects. Finally, our electrical engineer assembles the electrical control cabinet based on circuit diagrams provided by our technical team.

a) The startup, reversing stop, braking, and safety interlocking of the amusement equipment should be correct, sensitive and reliable.

b) The whole machine should operate normally without crawling or abnormal vibration, shock, heat or noise.

c) The transmission components should be stable with no abnormal vibration runout impact noise permanent deformation or wear. Additionally, bearing temperature rise and oil tank temperature should not exceed the highest temperature specified in the design of the amusement equipment.

d) All instruments must work properly.

e) Auxiliary systems such as lubrication hydraulic and pneumatic systems must function correctly without any leakage.

f) Parts and their connections must be firm and reliable without any permanent deformation or damage.

To ensure safety, the following debugging procedures must be performed: checking safety restraint devices, conducting insulation tests, performing current and voltage tests, grounding tests, verifying safety interlock devices and limit switch positions, testing emergency stop functions and power cut-off mechanisms. Additionally, an emergency evacuation test should be conducted.

a) Non-Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing of important shafts (pins) and structural welds is necessary to meet design requirements. The testing method involves inspecting welded joints before and after the test as well as detachably inspecting important shafts. Non-destructive testing results must meet technical standards.

b) Testing the Overpressure Protection of Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems.

The overpressure protection device of hydraulic and pneumatic systems should be tested by simulating pressure overload conditions. This ensures that the system can protect against working pressures greater than 1.2 times the rated working pressure of the power source.

c) Electrical Interlock Control Test

If required by design and standards, conduct an electrical interlock control test to ensure that the amusement equipment’s electrical system and its interlock devices meet the following requirements:

1. Each action of the amusement equipment can be manually controlled.

2. The amusement equipment cannot be started without operating the electric bell button.

3. The amusement equipment cannot be started when the pneumatic system is under pressure.

4. If any safety pressure bar is not pressed down, for safety pressure bars and start interlocks, the amusement equipment cannot be started.

5. For multi-track amusement equipment, each track is divided into several sections, allowing only one car to run in each section at a time.

6. When in a power-off state, the safety pressure bar remains locked.

7. The maintenance state does not allow for starting of the amusement equipment.
