Which type of slip rings are needed for the Olympic Torch Sculpture?

The 2024 Paris Olympics is about to be held, and there will be an opening ceremony that will attract worldwide attention. In previous Olympic opening ceremonies, HDMI Slip Rings were used in cameras and stabilization equipment, as well as other types of Electronic slip rings including rotating stages.As a professional slip ring manufacturer with nearly 30 years of experience, JINPAT Electronics is paying attention to the advanced technical equipment that may be used in the Olympic New Media Center and other key venues, especially in the application of HDMI slip rings.

In previous Olympic opening ceremonies, the most impressive thing for people was the lighting ceremony.Taking the Beijing Winter Olympics as an example, after the ignition, the lit Olympic torch was installed in the middle of the snowflake sculpture and rotated continuously with the sculpture, while the snowflake sculpture was installed in the ribbon-shaped sculpture, and the ribbon sculpture rotated counterclockwise along with the base.In order to ensure that the Olympic torch burns brightly for 24 hours at night, A electronic slip ring needs to be installed under the torch sculpture.If the torch does not use hydrogen as fuel, then a Pneumatic Hydraulic Integrated Rotary Joint is required to transmit combustible gases such as natural gas and hydrogen.

Since this snowflake sculpture is integrated with LED lights, although there are many light groups, the total power is not large and the working voltage is not high.When designing the Conductive Slip Ring, two 15A current paths and one grounding path are designed to fully meet the power supply needs of the sculpture.Even if a backup path is added, only Two paths with the same current need to be added, which has little impact on the structure, cost, etc. of the conductive slip ring.

The design and manufacturing of the conductive slip rings used in the Olympic torch is not difficult. At present, most of the hundreds of conductive slip ring manufacturers in China have the ability to design such integrated rotary joints. As a long-established slip ring manufacturer, JINPAT Electronics naturally has the ability to design and manufacture such products.
