Description

Description: The invention relates to an amusement ride, in particular a circular ride, according to the preamble of claim 1.

In the prior art, rides such as carousels are known, in which passengers in cabins or on seat supports are guided on a substantially circular path around a circulation center. The cabins or seat supports can be mounted on arms or turntables and can thus be kept in an orbit. It is also known in the prior art to provide for the rides or the seat supports to rotate in addition to the orbital movement around the orbital center in such rides. In the case of rides with such circular movements, it is also known to arrange the axis of rotation of this self-rotation inclined at a predetermined angle relative to the arms or the turntables - in particular, not perpendicular - and to provide devices with which passengers can control or influence the self-rotation.

A generic ride is known for example from DE 31 50 432 A1.

A disadvantage of such rides known in the prior art is the rigidly predetermined design of the circular movement, so that the rides are not equally suitable for all passengers. In particular, in the rides known in the prior art there is a great dependence of the driving experience for the passengers on the predetermined composition of the circulating movement. For example, there can be a large dependence of the driving experience on the rotational speed around the circulating center. Passengers can also get in and out of the cabin in a cabin that is inclined at a predetermined angle.

The object of the invention is to provide an amusement ride in which the aforementioned disadvantages do not occur.

This object is achieved by an amusement ride with the features of claim 1.

According to the invention it is provided that a pivoting device for pivoting the cabin axis is arranged between the extension arm and the passenger cabin. It can thus be achieved that the cabin axis can be pivoted or inclined relative to the extension arm. This makes it easy to adapt the design of the orbital movement, be it to different operating conditions or to different needs of passengers.

The fact that a pivoting of the cabin axis relative to the boom arm is possible, the driving experience for passengers in the passenger cabin can be optimally adapted to the wishes of the passengers. For example, different pivoting of the cabin axis relative to the extension arm can also be made possible for different circulation speeds around the circulation center.

In contrast to rides known in the prior art, the pivoting of the cabin axis relative to the cantilever arm also makes it easier for passengers to get in and out of the passenger cabin.

It can be advantageous that the pivoting device has a pivot bearing with a curved linear guide. A curved linear guide makes it possible to pivot the cabin axis in a plane which may be essentially perpendicular. By designing the pivot bearing between the extension arm and the passenger cabin as a curved linear guide, the pivot axis of the pivoting can extend outside the bearing or the bearing point (eccentrically), for example through the passenger cabin. The curved linear guide can preferably be circular at least in sections. It can be provided that the linear guide in / 22nd

Is designed to be essentially loose, that is to say allows movement along the guide, essentially apart from the bearing friction.

It can further be advantageous that the curved linear guide has at least one curved rail and guide rollers for guiding the at least one rail. The at least one curved rail can essentially be assigned to the passenger cabin. The guide rollers for guiding the at least one rail can essentially be assigned to the extension arm. Preferably, two curved rails running essentially parallel to one another and corresponding guide rollers for the rails can be provided. A reversal of the assignments and / or a design of the linear guide with plain bearings is also conceivable.

It can be further advantageous that the linear guide runs essentially in the direction of the cantilever arm. In other words, the linear guide can be oriented essentially towards the circulation center. This enables the cabin axis to be pivoted relative to the boom arm about a pivot axis that is essentially horizontal and essentially transverse to the boom arm. The cabin axis can thus be pivoted in one plane of the extension arm. It is also conceivable to design the linear guide to run essentially transversely to the cantilever arm. It is also conceivable to provide a combination of essentially longitudinal and transverse linear guides.

It can be provided that the pivoting of the cabin axis takes place in dependence on the speed of the passenger cabin around the circulation center. As a result, the driving experience for passengers in the passenger cabin can be optimally adapted to the respective circulating speed of the passenger cabin around the circulation center.

It can be advantageous that various parameters of the orbital movement can be controlled or set by a passenger or the passengers. This can be done by the passenger or the passengers from the passenger cabin. Such a control can preferably take place during the ferry operation, the configuration of the circulating movement can therefore be changed during the ferry operation. In this case, for example, the rotational speed of the passenger cabin around the revolving center and / or the speed of the self-rotation of the passenger cabin about the cabin axis and / or the pivoting of the cabin axis relative to the extension arm can be controlled by a passenger in the passenger cabin. A pivoting of the cabin axis relative to the extension arm by the position of the passenger or passengers in the passenger cabin is also conceivable. An individual adaptation of the configuration of the circulating movement around the circulating center can thus be made possible by a passenger.

It can be advantageous that the passenger cabin has a control device for simple and user-friendly control of the parameters of the orbital movement. The passenger cabin can have a control device for controlling the rotational speed and / or an actuating device for controlling the self-rotation of the passenger cabin and / or a control device for controlling the pivoting of the cabin axis. One way of designing the actuating device for controlling the self-rotation of the passenger cabin is, for example, by a handwheel that is non-rotatable relative to the extension arm.

It can further be advantageous that the self-rotation of the passenger cabin can be controlled by actuating the actuating device by the at least one passenger and / or can be driven by a drive. For example, it can be provided that the self-rotation is initiated by a passenger actuating the actuating device under his own power and, if necessary, supported by a drive. However, the self-rotation can also be driven solely by a drive, the actuating device being able to control the drive.

Patent Office It can be advantageous that the swivel device has a swivel drive for swiveling the cabin axis. As a result, pivoting of the cabin axis can be made possible under essentially any operating conditions, possibly also counter to the forces acting during the rotating movement. It can be provided, for example, that the swivel device has an adjustable coupling. It can thereby be made possible that the forces occurring during the orbital movement, which act on the passenger cabin or a passenger, do not exceed a certain level. It can also be made possible that an optionally selectable pivoting of the cabin axis is at least temporarily held or locked.

It can be advantageous that a rotating device for the passenger cabin for rotating the passenger cabin about the cabin axis is arranged between the pivoting device for pivoting the cabin axis and the passenger cabin. This allows, for example, the cabin axis to be pivoted independently of the passenger cabin's own rotation. For example, the orientation or inclination of the cabin axis with respect to the extension arm can also be maintained when the passenger cabin rotates, or can be changed independently of the rotation.

Basically, it can be advantageous that a base is arranged between the extension arm and the passenger cabin. The base can be, for example, frame-shaped, in particular rectangular. The base can preferably be mounted on the extension arm so as to be pivotable about a substantially horizontal pivot axis.

It can be advantageous that the pivoting device is formed between the passenger cabin and the base. The orientation of the base relative to the extension arm can thus remain unchanged when the cabin axis is pivoted. When the curved linear guide is designed with at least one curved rail and guide rollers for guiding the at least one rail, the guide rollers can be arranged on the base. The at least one curved rail can be arranged on the passenger cabin or, if a rotating device is provided between the pivoting device and the passenger cabin, arranged on the rotating device - and thus essentially associated with the passenger cabin. A reversal of the arrangement is also conceivable.

If a swivel drive is provided, it can be advantageous that the swivel drive is designed in the form of a rack or chain arranged at least in sections on a part, for example on a rail, of the curved linear guide and a drive assigned to the base and corresponding to the rack or chain is.

It can also be advantageous that the base has a chassis for supporting the base on a surface, the chassis preferably having a drive and / or at least one impeller. The undercarriage can thus effectively serve to support the passenger cabin on the surface traveled by the undercarriage. It can be advantageous that at least part of the weight of the passenger cabin and possibly the passengers is absorbed by the chassis. The undercarriage can be designed to match the surface to be driven on. For example, the running gear can have skids or a ski for driving on a slippery surface such as snow or water. The undercarriage can preferably have a drive by means of which a revolving movement of the passenger cabin can be driven.

Basically, it can be provided that the boom arm is pivotally mounted at a first end about a substantially perpendicular axis of rotation at the circulation center and the passenger cabin is arranged at a second end of the boom arm. It can preferably be provided that the cantilever arm is additionally mounted on the circulation center so as to be pivotable about a substantially horizontal pivot axis. It can also be provided that the ride has exactly one cantilever arm with exactly one passenger cabin arranged thereon.

It can be provided that the swivel device is designed such that at

AT15 709U1 2018-04-15 Austrian

Patent Office of the revolving movement of the passenger cabin, a pivoting of the cabin axis is essentially directed towards the boom arm. With such a pivoting, the cantilever arm and the cabin axis can essentially enclose an acute angle. In the case of a suitably designed curved linear guide, a pivot axis for the pivoting of the cabin axis which runs effectively through the passenger cabin can be realized in such a way that even in a passenger cabin occupied by at least one passenger, the cabin axis is pivoted essentially in the direction of the extension arm.

Basically, it can be provided that the cabin axis runs essentially upright out of the plane of the circular path around the circulation center. The cabin axis can thus run or be aligned at least approximately upright or perpendicular.

It may be advantageous for the passenger cabin to have at least one seat for the at least one passenger, a safety bar preferably being provided for the at least one seat. The passenger cabin preferably has four seats, each with a safety bar. In general, a safety bar can be provided for each seat.

It may be provided that the passenger cabin can be entered by a passenger via an access gate. It can also be provided that the area used by the amusement ride, in particular the area used during the ferry operation, is separated or fenced in and the passenger cabin can only be entered via the access gate.

It may be advantageous that the passenger cabin is driven around the circulation center by a central rotary drive acting on the extension arm. A combination of a rotary drive acting on the cantilever arm and a chassis having a drive is also conceivable.

Further details and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures and with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. In it show:

FIGS. 1a to 1e show different views and detailed representations of a ride 1 in a parking position of the ride 1. The position of the amusement ride 1 in the parking position may be suitable, for example, for a passenger to get in and / or out of the passenger cabin 4 of the amusement ride 1. In particular, the passenger cabin 4 can be oriented upright in this position.

1a shows a perspective view of an amusement ride 1 with a single passenger cabin 4, which is arranged on a single cantilever arm 3 extending radially and essentially horizontally from a circulation center 2. A base 15 is arranged between the extension arm 3 and the passenger cabin 4. The cantilever arm 3 is mounted on the circulation center 2 so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation a2 oriented essentially perpendicular to the surface 17 to be traveled by the amusement ride 1. The cantilever arm 3 runs essentially parallel to the surface 17 to be driven by the amusement ride 1. The passenger cabin 4 has an upright position (parking position) as shown and essentially likewise perpendicularly to the car axis a1 aligned to the surface 17 to be traveled by the amusement ride 1 , In the parked position shown, the passenger cabin 4 is accessible through a security gate 21, the barriers 25 of which are open in FIG. 1a. In the

In the embodiment shown in the patent office, the passenger cabin 4 has four seats 19 with safety bars 20 distributed around the cabin axis a1. FIG. 1 a also shows the actuating device 11 arranged in the center of the passenger cabin 4, with which an internal rotation of the passenger cabin 4 about the cabin axis a1 can be controlled.

1b shows a side view of the position of the ride 1 shown in FIG. 1a. In this illustration, the swiveling device 5 arranged between the extension arm 3 and the passenger cabin 4 for pivoting the cabin axis a1 can be seen.

1c shows a detail of the passenger cabin 4 and the swivel device 5. It can be seen that the swivel device 5 has a swivel bearing 6 with a curved linear guide 7. As shown, the curved linear guide 7 has a curved rail 8 and guide rollers 9 for guiding the rail 8. Lateral guidance of the curved rail 8 is achieved by guide rollers 9 arranged laterally to the rail 8. A support for the curved rail 8 is formed by guide rollers 9 arranged below the curved rail 8, as shown. As shown, a base 15 is arranged between the extension arm 3 and the passenger cabin 4. The guide rollers 9 are arranged on the base 15 in the embodiment shown. Between the swiveling device 5 and the passenger cabin 4 there is also a rotating device 14 which enables the passenger cabin 4 to rotate the cabin axis a1 relative to the extension arm. The rotating device 14 can have a ring gear. The curved rail 8 of the linear guide 7 of the swivel bearing 6 is arranged, as shown, on the part of the rotating device 14 which is designed to rotate relative to the cantilever arm 3. The guide rollers 9 of the linear guide 7 are thus essentially assigned to the cantilever arm 3. The curved rail 8 of the linear guide 7 is thus essentially assigned to the passenger cabin 4.

When the cabin axis a1 is pivoted relative to the extension arm 3 (see also FIG. 2d), the curved rails 8 of the linear guide 7 can roll on the guide rollers 9 and the passenger cabin 4 together with the rotating device 14 can be pivoted. Through such a configuration — possibly also loose, that is to say essentially unbraked — of the pivot bearing 6 of the pivoting device 5, the passenger cabin can perform a guided rocking or pendulum movement relative to the extension arm 3.

In Figure 1c, an impeller 18 of the chassis 16 of the base 15 can also be seen. The undercarriage 16 serves to support the passenger cabin 4 on the surface 17 traversed on the impeller 18 of the undercarriage 16.

[0041] FIG. 1d shows a top view of an amusement ride 1 that is in the parked position. The access gate 21 is shown with the barriers 25 open. The passenger cabin 4 can be entered through the access gate 21 via the base plate 23. The barriers 25 are designed such that when the barriers 25 are closed, the base plate 23 is substantially completely slipped on, which can ensure that there is no passenger in the entrance area to the passenger cabin 4 in the form of the base plate 23 before the start of the journey. In addition, the base plate 23 can have sensors for detecting a passenger located on the base plate 23.

[0042] FIG. 1d also shows the actuating device 11 arranged in the passenger cabin and the control device 10.

FIG. 1e shows a side view of the passenger cabin 4 of the ride 1 with the access gate 21 open.

In Figures 2a to 2d different views and detailed representations of a ride 1 are shown during the ferry operation. The passenger cabin 4 guided around the circulation center 2 on the extension arm 3 is shown moved out of the parking position. As shown, the access gate 21 is closed during the ferry operation. The cabin axis a1 of the passenger cabin 4 has been pivoted with respect to the extension arm 3 and is now essentially inclined towards the extension arm 3. It can be clearly seen that the pivoting device 5 has been pivoted out.

AT15 709U1 2018-04-15 Austrian

Patent Office [0045] FIG. 2b shows a detailed view of the passenger cabin 4 pivoting relative to the extension arm 3. It can be seen here that the linear guide 7 of the pivot bearing 6 has two curved rails 8 which run essentially parallel and are longitudinally or essentially parallel to the extension arm 3 and have guide rollers 9 for guiding the rails 8. By pivoting the swivel device 5, the curved rails 8 are rolled along the guide rollers 9, as a result of which the passenger cabin 4 together with the cabin axis a1 has been brought into an inclined position.

FIG. 2c shows a side view of the ride 1 with the passenger cabin 4 pivoting relative to the extension arm 3. It can be clearly seen here that the passenger cabin 4 with the cabin axis a1 is inclined toward the extension arm 3 and the cabin axis a1 essentially forms an acute angle with the extension arm 3. In comparison with FIG. 1b, the pivoting out of the pivoting device 5 is clearly recognizable.

FIG. 2d shows a detailed view of the passenger cabin 4 shown in FIG. 2c. In comparison with FIG. 1c, it can also be clearly seen that the pivoting device 5 is in a pivoted-out state. The passenger cabin 4, together with the rotating device 14, has been pivoted relative to the extension arm 3 and the base 15. The imaginary pivot axis of the pivoting runs outside (eccentrically) that of the bearing point (linear guide 7) of the pivot bearing 6 and can for example run through the passenger cabin 4. For example, it can be achieved that the cabin axis a1 is pivoted due to a center of gravity of the passenger cabin 4 which is deep relative to the imaginary pivot axis due to the essentially circular orbital movement of the passenger cabin 4. Swiveling out or deflecting the passenger cabin 4 or the cabin axis a1 in this way can, for example, bring about a rocking or pendulum movement of the passenger cabin 4 during the orbital movement. The rocking or pendulum movement can be triggered or supported by the weight shift associated with a self-rotation of the passenger cabin 4 - possibly also by the position of passengers within the passenger cabin.

In Figure 3, a detailed view of a passenger cabin 4 is shown. The actuating device 11 arranged in the center of the seats 19 can be seen. The self-rotation of the passenger cabin 4 can be brought about by the actuating device 11, it being possible for the passengers to do this under their own power and / or the self-rotation can be driven by a drive 12 acting on the rotating device 14 (see FIGS. 4a and 4b). The control device 10 with control elements can also be seen in FIG. 3 in FIG. By means of the control device 10 arranged in the passenger cabin 4, various parameters of the orbital movement can be controlled or set by a passenger or the passengers. This can be done by the passenger or the passengers from the passenger cabin 4. Such control can be carried out by the passengers during the ferry operation, the configuration of the circulating movement can therefore be changed during the ferry operation. With a corresponding control of the drives, the revolving speed of the passenger cabin 4 around the revolving center 2, the speed of the self-rotation of the passenger cabin 4 about the cabin axis a1 and the pivoting of the cabin axis a1 with respect to the extension arm 3 can be controlled by a passenger in the passenger cabin 4. A pivoting of the cabin axis a1 with respect to the extension arm 3 can, as mentioned, also take place through the position of the passenger or the passengers in the passenger cabin 4.

FIG. 4a shows a sectional view of an amusement ride 1 in a parking position. The rotary drive 22 assigned to the circulation center 2 and acting on the extension arm 3 and the drive 12 acting on the rotating device 14 for the self-rotation of the passenger cabin 4 can be seen. The swivel arm 3 is mounted on the circulation center 2 so as to be pivotable about a substantially horizontal swivel axis s2. Furthermore, the frame-shaped structure of the base 15 consisting of hollow profiles can be seen in this embodiment.

FIG. 4b shows a sectional illustration of a swivel device 5 of an amusement ride 1. The swivel device 5 has a swivel bearing 6 in the form of a linear guide 7
