    The spokeless Ferris wheel you are talking about has a more "elegant" name, which is called the ring Ferris wheel. The ring-shaped Ferris wheel is only composed of a roulette wheel, and there is a large hole in the wheel structure, which has a good perspective effect compared to the traditional spoke-type Ferris wheel. Structural form:

    The main structure of the ring Ferris wheel is a composite steel box girder structure, with steel pipe truss support on the inner side, and a closed amusement cabin on the outside of the box girder. Principle: The hoop of the Ferris wheel is attached to the frame of the outer circle, and the hoop is rotated by the driving wheel to make the sightseeing cabin rotate along the frame of the wheel.

    Passengers ride in the basement, and the sightseeing warehouse runs slowly, with an average speed of meters and seconds. Status: At present, there are two types of structures of this type that have been built in China, including the "Ring of Life" in Fushun City, Liaoning Province and the Landscape Tower in Changzhou Bauhinia Park.

    The "Ring of Life" in Fushun City, costing about 100 million yuan, is mainly composed of a concrete foundation and a non-concentric annular steel pipe truss structure system with a triangular section. The outer diameter is 170 meters, the inner diameter is 150 meters, the top elevation of the structure is meters, and the total weight of the steel structure is 3,500 tons. The whole structure adopts a steel structure grid, covered with a metal curtain wall, and is installed with 10,000 LED lights.

    Currently, the building only has a sightseeing function. Changzhou Bauhinia Park Landscape Tower: The cost is about 100 million, the maximum span is 89m, the height is about 80m, the thickness is 7m, the main structure adopts a composite steel box structure, and the steel pipe truss is located on the inner side of the ring.

    The outer side of the ring is a part of the amusement cabin closed by a glass curtain wall. The two-story basement adopts a steel concrete frame structure, which is used for equipment and sightseeing functions. Controversy:

    This type of structure "wins by surprise", and its high cost, safety and stability have been questioned by the public. At present, the Ring of Life in Fushun City has and only has the function of sightseeing, and has no entertainment function. <>

    Traditional Ferris wheels have a shaft in the middle and rotate around an axis, while a spokeless Ferris wheel is like a beautiful ring with no support in the middle. This large ring with a diameter of 89 meters, whether it is designed or constructed, is completed by Changzhou people themselves, which is unique in the world and the first in the world created by Changzhou people. It is understood that after the steel structure is closed, it will enter the track, sightseeing cable car installation and curtain wall lighting decoration, and the entire Ferris wheel is expected to be completed and put into use next year.

    After the Ferris wheel is built, sightseers can enter the giant ring from underground, enjoy the panoramic view of Changzhou in a circle, and then return to the surface. At the same time, the "Time to Run" Ferris wheel will become a magnificent landscape in Changzhou, especially at night, through the colorful lights inside the Ferris wheel, forming a colorful halo, like a night city rainbow. <>
