In 1400 AD, Zhu Di, the king of Yan in the Ming Dynasty, crossed the Haihe River from the three forks of the river, went all the way south, captured Nanjing, seized the throne, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yongle. In 1404 AD, the Ming Dynasty established a guard in Zhigu, and Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, named it "Tianjin Guard". Tianjin means the ferry of the emperor.

In 2008 AD, Tianjin’s new landmark building, the “Tianjin Eye” Ferris wheel, was completed. It is located on Yongle Bridge, where Zhu Di led thousands of troops to cross the river. It is the only Ferris wheel in the world that crosses the river and is a bridge and wheel. It has both sightseeing and transportation functions.

Look up to the aura of the Emperor's Crossing, and embrace the scenery of the Jiuhe River below. Its whimsical and ingenious design is a major breakthrough in the world's Ferris wheel architecture. The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 110 meters, and 48 transparent cars are mounted on the outside of the wheel. Each cabin can accommodate 8 people. The cabin is comfortable and spacious, with air conditioning to adjust the temperature. It can accommodate 384 people for sightseeing at the same time. The operating hours are arranged according to the seasons.

The Ferris wheel is driven by electricity and rotates at a constant speed, making one revolution in about 28 minutes. When the cabin reaches the highest point, passengers can see dozens of kilometers in radius, including the Haihe River.

The structural form of the Eye of Tianjin

1. Tower

The "Eye of Tianjin" Ferris wheel tower spans both sides of the Baiziya River, with a root distance of 125.4 meters. , as the supporting structure of the wheel plate, it bears the force and bending moment transmitted from the wheel plate. The components adopt box-shaped sections; from the side elevation, the three-limb components of the tower legs and tower columns are at the same angle of 9.624 degrees with the vertical plane. In the inclined space plane, the beam (main axis) at the top of the tower column is placed horizontally along the cross-bridge direction.

The working principle is similar to a large portal frame; from the front elevation, the tower, tower legs and tower columns form an angle of 120 degrees, between the top of the tower column and the bottom of the tower legs Stabilizing cables are set up to provide in-plane stabilization to the entire tower; the angle between the tower legs and the horizontal plane is 30 degrees, and the tower foot foundation bears a large horizontal thrust under the action of vertical loads.

2. Tire

The rotating part of the "Eye of Tianjin" Ferris wheel is a hoop with a diameter of 110 meters. The hoop adopts a triangular section steel tube truss structure, and the outer chord of the hoop is Two steel pipes with a cross-section of (457×30) square millimeters are used, with a distance of 3.1 meters; the inner chord uses one steel pipe with a cross-section of (530×30) square millimeters.

The wheel hoop and the slewing bearing are connected through 48 radial cables arranged alternately; 16 tangential cables along the tangential direction of the slewing bearing are arranged on the wheel hoop to drive the Ferris wheel; the wheel hoop rotates through The support is supported on the main shaft.

3. Main shaft

The main shaft of the "Eye of Tianjin" Ferris wheel uses a steel pipe with a cross-section of (2800×60) square millimeters and is installed at an altitude of 65 meters; the main shaft and the herringbone tower The connection nodes of the frame adopt the form of flange connection. Flanges are installed at both ends of the herringbone tower frame and the main shaft. After the main shaft is installed in place, it is connected with high-strength bolts.
