Water walking stage system and control method thereof

Abstract

A water facility with an underwater walking stage provides a waterplay facility that not only adults but also handicapped people and children can safely use. The water facility includes floating bodies 10 and 10 ′ for floating on the surface of water; a walking stage 20 placed below and connected to both the floating bodies, thereby forming a footing; and rails 30 and 30 ′ connecting each edge of the walking stage with a corresponding one of the floating bodies. The walking stage is supported by the floating bodies to be immersed in the water below the surface of water.

1 . A water facility comprising:
 floating bodies for floating on the surface of water;   a walking stage placed below and connected to both the floating bodies, thereby forming a footing; and   rails connecting each edge of the walking stage with a corresponding one of the floating bodies, wherein the walking stage is supported by the floating bodies to be immersed in the water below the surface of water.   
     
     
         2 . The water facility according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the floating bodies is made of foam resin or a buoyant member having a gas-containing space, a safety connector is provided inside the floating body to act as an inside member, and a knob is provided on the floating body, and
 wherein each of the rails is made of a net or a plate having a plurality of holes.   
     
     
         3 . The water facility according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a structure safety sensor unit provided in at least one of the floating bodies, the rails and the walking stage to detect a damage in the floating bodies, the rails and the walking stage; and   a main control unit connected to the structure safety sensor unit to detect states of the floating bodies, the rails and the walking state,   wherein the main control unit includes a safety inspection signal-processing block connected to the structure safety sensor unit, for receiving a detection signal therefrom, an emergency signal-processing block for sending an emergency signal to an emergency light or a speaker, an input/output signal-processing block for processing input and output signals, and a main controller for controlling the safety inspection signal-processing block, the emergency signal-processing block and the input/output signal-processing block.   
     
     
         4 . A method of controlling a water facility as described in  claim 1 , comprising:
 installing the water facility including the floating bodies, the walking stage and the rails on water and installing the structure safety sensor unit on the water facility in connection with the main control unit to be ready for operation of the water facility;   when the water facility is operated, and receiving a signal from the structure safety sensor unit via the safety inspection signal-processing block;   determining whether or not the signal received via the safety inspection signal-processing block is a normal or emergency signal; and   if the received signal is determined as an emergency signal, transmitting the emergency signal to the emergency signal-processing block to warn an emergency situation using the emergency light and the speaker.
