Technical field
The present invention relates to the track of improved roller vehicle and its manufacture.More specifically, the side of being preferable to carry out of the present invention Formula is related to a kind of improved design and the method for manufacture amusement park track, and this method includes fixed a variety of planar materials to form rail Road, rather than traditional method for bending straight rail.Also include the application method of improved track.Other replacements of the present invention Property embodiment include other complicated structures, such as chair chute of skiing, fortune people's system and ladder.
Background technology
Roller-coaster, other amusement park rides toys, skiing chair chute and other roller vehicles fortune people's device are usually needed Complicated track is wanted to provide dynamic experience or gone along rugged country.Therefore, many these are used for this roller vehicle Track is manufactured by steel pipe, traditionally it is heated and bent to obtain the shape needed for it.
Regrettably, heat and operate by this way rod iron or steel pipe and this material is for good and all bent in the material Cause significant fracture.Then stress or load (prestressing force (the static state load in such as track installation are being applied to this device Lotus) and (roller-coaster for example passed through) dynamic load for applying to track) before this fracture exist in the structure obtained. Manufacture stress, the process of static stress and dynamic stress over time culminate, and passing through over time needs frequently to replace Traditional tubular type track.
In addition, when being heated rod iron or steel pipe and bending to complicated pattern, bar or pipe are necessary without carrying out as required Bending.Metal is general will to be sought to bend at its most weak point or in the range of maximum, force is applied.Therefore, the steel knot of construction The final result of structure may not be accurately to match with required design, and this causes the construction repeated to attempt or be satisfied with and be not Optimal result.Especially, such as triangle tube, square or rectangular tube or other metal tubes are (in its steel construction cross section With space) structure and material factor design be easy to by deforming and rupture is influenceed.
Currently, metal (i.e. steel) roller-coaster is constructed by circular, straight rod iron or steel pipe, and they are for necessary mistake Roller coaster is applied and bends to required form.
Industrial knowledge based on us, is the roller-coaster constructed by common plane metal material in the absence of track, described general Logical planar metal material is cut and is welded together to form required warp rail.Such invention, if feasible, as Track newly developed can have the advantages that highly desirable property, and it is not bent, deforms or heated, and its will be kept original strong Degree, the unnecessary fracture not being placed in by conventional bending method on material.Using it is this due to manufacture during there is no fracture to deposit Good material adaptability, the structure obtained or roller coaster track can be longer than the conventional method intensity bigger, duration. Therefore, compared to conventional method earlier, this intensity and duration can effectively result in and build roller-coaster and other structures Make ratio is bigger or more economical.
Therefore, a kind of new construction and manufacture are needed in the technology of amusement park rides toy and other complicated bend structures The method of elongate curved structure (such as roller coaster track).Preferably, compared to traditional roller-coaster, ride-on toy of travelling, cunning Chair chute, ladder or other slim-lined constructions are avenged, this improved track, which will manufacture stress, to be become minimum, obtain required knot Really, material and manufacturing cost are further preferably reduced.
The content of the invention
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a kind of construction elongated, warp architecture (such as amusement park roller coaster track Or spiral step support member) new method.Once it is determined that the three-dimensional pattern of slim-lined construction, it becomes possible to utilize special-purpose software system Surely each for the planarizing material to be cut out is segmented --- and these segmentations ultimately become the element of elongate curved structure.Preferred These element segments are cut into their own design using CUT or other traditional devices in embodiment Shape, and then they link together and (for example welded) to form elongate curved structure rational in infrastructure.
In an aspect, embodiments of the present invention include a kind of side for designing and constructing this elongate curved structure Method.
In another aspect, this method yet forms both a kind of new converted products, i.e. one kind is curved elongated structure Device, the device include in the way of being permanently attached together each other fixable multiple plane components.
In a further aspect, roller-coaster can be arranged in this elongate curved structure.In a further aspect, ski Chair chute or other fortune people instruments can be arranged on this slim-lined construction for not needing traditional electric wire or circuit orbit.Most Afterwards, although never the scope of the present invention is construed as limiting, but can will bending ladder or building structure set up be not required to this In the elongate curved structure to be heated, bent or be deformed to conventional metals beam.

Embodiment
In the following description, for illustrative purposes, detail is elaborated to have the present invention comprehensive reason Solution.But it is clear that the present invention can be implemented in the case of these no details.In other cases, known knot Structure and device can depict the form of sketch as, to exempt the unnecessary details related to corresponding discussion of the present invention;Class As, the step in disclosed method can depict the form of flow chart as.The division header occurred in following paragraph With with reference to the convenience being intended to for reader, the limit of the scope of the information to having in any given position should not be construed as System.
Unique elongate curved structure as described herein and its construction and purposes are included in amusement park, personnel's delivery, built Build with manufacturing technology each in the range of multiple advantages.Therefore, be described in further detail in following part below details, Various packets that are progressive and improving:Function summary, the limitation of prior art, new construction and its construction and conclusion.
Function is summarized
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a kind of device, and it includes being suitable to elongate curved used in various applications Structure.These applications can include roller coaster track or other amusement park rides toys, fortune people system (for example ski chair chute or Person is other motor-driven or non-maneuverable telecontrol equipments), ladder or other building structure or need the other of elongate curved structure Using.In a preferred embodiment, this elongate curved structure includes many complicated bending sections and is conventional design, than Such as roller coaster track.
Although roller coaster track is the research of the exemplary cases of the present invention, it should be understood that of the invention Various technologies are unrestrictedly applicable in other environment (such as transport, build and other industries).Therefore, it will discuss a kind of Improved roller-coaster, although this is a preferred nonrestrictive embodiment of the purpose that the present invention is used for disclosure.When Herein by use, mention " roller vehicle " be considered as with roller-coaster it is of equal value or it is more wider than roller-coaster scope, because It is a kind of exemplary cases of the roller vehicle on trapped orbit for roller-coaster.Teaching described herein equally can be with good The application of remodeling or new coaster is applied to well, and no matter following structure, which is wood, (is commonly referred to as " wood " Coaster processed), or following structure is steel frame (commonly referred to as " steel " coaster processed).
More specifically, the preferred embodiment of the present invention and this specification is configurable three-dimensional I shape box tracks, It can be constructed by two-dimensional material, such as, but not limited to plane steel plate.In the preferred embodiment of roller coaster track, I shape casees Type track typically have as the letter " I shapes " in alphabet square-section (be similar to I shape girder steels, I shapes box design in, Only there are a fore-and-aft plane rather than two fore-and-aft planes).
Because the necessary special shape and size that determine each plane component of this elongate curved structure are probably multiple Miscellaneous process, so we have found that the dedicated computer software developed specifically for the process obtains optimal result.
Especially, a kind of roller coaster track is shown in three-dimensional computer Computer Aided Design (CAD) system.Therefore, track is cut Face, track geometry shape and other side are embodied in the specification that the computer disposal of track is obtained in detail completely.Track Various pieces are also configured as that track can be constructed with rail portion.Generally, this track is typically designed and is configured to two tracks System, but invention also contemplates a rail, two rails, three rails or even more complicated rail system.
Once design completely and determine rail portion, it is just main to be formulated on two-dimentional raw material (such as standard steel plate or rod iron) These parts.The use of this standard material is relative to the conventional method one using special and expensive steel (form of rod or pipe) As have significant advantage.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, then using traditional cutting or constructing apparatus (such as CUT, machine Tool cutting machine, water cutting machine or other traditional cutter devices) the two-dimensional portion segmentation made is cut out from raw steel. These special segmentations preferably have hundreds or even thousands detailed descriptions so that the cutting of material is adapted to complexity Curve.Used general material is 1/4 " or 3/8 " plate of A-36 steel, although other materials in alternative configuration or application Material is also preferable.
After cutting or constructing two-dimensional portion segmentation, according to designing and illustrating, typically by traditional method, such as Welding, by these sectionals and is connected to each other.The construction process of this three-dimensional body is being carried out from main two dimension segmentation In, special assembly fixture or support frame be it is necessary so that these segmentations are maintained on their suitable positions, for fixed to In other segmentations, as will be discussed further below.
Finally, the rail portion constructed is fitted together in amusement park rides toy place, that is, passes through traditional company Connect method, such as king-bolt and nut, or welding or other traditional attachment methods.
Usually, this building method of embodiments of the present invention obtains a kind of more consistent compared to original design and more The track of the amusement park rides toy of optimization.Improved track common intensity is bigger, because track is usually not manufacture in itself Stress, such as thermal stress, bending stress and installation twisting stress.Because the raw material for improving track is manufactured or installed the phase at them Between be not applied in stress, so improved track typically have the longer life-span, without as it is traditional by be heated, " swan-neck " track of bending or circular rod iron or the round steel pipe construction both used needs frequent replacement like that.
As indicated above, improved track can be used in travel ride-on toy (such as roller-coaster), high mountain slideway, water In the other application of upper park or wherein wheeled vehicle along the track traveling with bending section.Similarly, in other environment In, it may be used as supporting construction, for fortune people's system (such as motor-driven or non-maneuverable pavement, tramcar), rank Ladder or the other Architectural Equipments for needing conventional elongate curved structure.
Present embodiments of the present invention each feature it is discussed further before, more understand prior art The limitation of (i.e. " swan-neck " roller coaster track) is good.
The limitation of prior art
Fig. 1 is the front view of the roller-coaster for the prior art for including solid circles track.Roller-coaster 100 includes having guide wheel The chassis 102 of frame 104, wheel frame 104 is thus connected to one or more main wheels 106, one or more lateral wheels 108 and one Or multiple return pulleys 110.One or more main wheels 106, one or more lateral wheels 108 and one or more return pulleys 110 are along really Heart circuit orbit 112 is rolled.This general proxy of roller-coaster 100 is many modern but belongs to the roller-coaster of prior art, and it is needed Conscientious to expensive track 112 frequently to safeguard, the track 112 must regularly Authenticate afresh, repair or by new material weight Neotectonics is to maintain the security of ride-on toy in chassis 102.
Translate into Fig. 2A, it is illustrated that the straight portion of existing round steel pipe 200 before constructing or bending to roller coaster track Point.
Fig. 2 B are the diagrams of the part of the roller coaster track 200 of the prior art in Fig. 2A, and it has been subjected to tieing up in Y Bending machining on degree.More specifically, a part for round steel pipe 210 has each power applied on each position thereon, I.e. downward Y power 212 is applied at position 211, and upward power 214 is applied at position 213, and upward power 216 applies in place Put at 215.What thus power 212,214 and 216 was combined makes a concerted effort to cause pipe 210 to bend on its end in Y dimensions upwards Structure.Y dimensions become apparent from dimensional representation 218.
When by it is this continually need by sufficient applying heat to pipe 210 in the way of swan-neck 210 when, the material of pipe 210 Material can be applied in sufficient stress.Especially, due to pipe 210 end to interior folding, the material of the close position 211 of pipe 210 Material bears high compression.On the other hand, due to pipe 210 end same folding, the material of the close position 213 and 215 of pipe 210 Material (such as the material at position 217) bears height and expands or stretch.The compression and expansion of material in pipe 210 are combined must So cause pipe 210 that there is at a fairly low structural intergrity, so that pipe 210 can not bear the un-flexed pipe with being drawn in Fig. 2A 200 identical load.
Fig. 2 C are diagram of the part for the roller-coaster of the prior art in Fig. 2 B after Y dimension bending machinings.More Body, the pipe 220 being illustrated has the slightly lower degree of crook of the pipe 210 than Fig. 2 B.As known in the industry, typically as steel Etc material must be more more than what required result was bent because as the homogeneous material of steel etc has a certain degree of bullet Property.In this respect, the processing for roller coaster track being configured with into pinpoint accuracy is extremely difficult, because in swan-neck 200 The power of material and the amount of power can not be determined accurately before actual flexion.Therefore, the result being made similar to pipe 220 be by The result of " repetition test " acquisition rather than the result constructed in accurate measurement and standard.
The roller coaster track of this prior art must curve the curve of mixing to adapt to design under normal circumstances Need.Therefore, multiple bending machinings are must endure as forming many pipes of roller coaster track, sometimes in identical position On.
Fig. 3 A are to must endure as this of the second bending machining after the Y dimension bending machinings in Fig. 2A -2C before The diagram of a part for the roller coaster track of prior art.The pipe that pipe 300 is bent in Y dimensions in figs. 2 a-2 c before representing 200。
Translate into next width figure, the diagram of the part of Fig. 3 A for the front curve that Fig. 3 B are pipe 300, it is born second The bending machining of Z-dimension.Second bending machining thus causes the mixing bending in track, and a bending is in Y dimensions (figure 2A-2C), another bending is in Z-dimension, as represented by dimensional representation 218.
It can be appreciated that the power 312 of outside (from paper) of the pipe 310 in Z-dimension at position 311 with application thereon, The power 314 of inside (the entering paper) of application thereon and the application at position 315 in Z-dimension at position 313 in Z-dimension The power 316 of inside (entering paper) thereon.These power 312,314 and 316 are combined bends to by pipe 310 in Z-dimension Two bending sections.
With for Y dimensions describe in figs. 2 a-2 c it is similar, the pipe 310 in Fig. 3 B bears second group of stress, i.e., in position Compression at 311 and expansion or stretching at position 317.Therefore, because pipe 310 bears tool in the middle body of pipe 310 There are two kinds of bendings of multiple compressions and expansion, so seriously jeopardizing its structural intergrity.
Similar to Fig. 2 C, Fig. 3 C illustrate pipe 320, and pipe 320 is by this bending, with shape needed for reaching and form.It is special Not, pipe 320 can be in the compression at position 321 in experience structure and in the expansion or drawing at position 327 in experience structure Stretch, form the roller coaster track being weakened compared with steel pipe originate in, straight (being originally not subject to these power).
Fig. 4 A are the diagrams of a part for the straight rectangular tube 400 of prior art, and it is the structure purpose straight for rigidity Suitable material, but for bending application hardly be bent or manipulate.Although this pipe is used for roller-coaster rail compared to round tube Road is favourable, but this rectangular tube hardly be bent or operate as what is further described.
Translate into next width figure, Fig. 4 B are bending of the part of the rectangular tube of the prior art in Fig. 4 A in Y dimensions Diagram during processing, so as to cause the deformation of the shape of pipe.More specifically, rectangular tube 410 in Y dimensions at position 411 Downward power 412 is born, upward power 414 is born at position 413 in Y dimensions, is born in Y dimensions at position 415 Upward power 416.
Just as depicted, rectangular tube is flattened, flattened or deformed by these power for jeopardizing the cross sectional shape of rectangular tube 410. More specifically, at position 411 compressive, the top of rectangular tube 410 is permanently deformed.Similarly, when visually observing During edge 417, by the inconsistent of the profile at edge 417, the structural intergrity of rectangular tube 410 can be visually determined.
Similarly, Fig. 4 C are the parts of the rectangular tube of the prior art in Fig. 4 A in Y dimensions during bending machining Diagram, so as to cause the fracture in the integrality of pipe.More specifically, rectangular tube 420 is held in Y dimensions at position 421 By downward power 422, upward power 424 is born at position 423 in Y dimensions, born in Y dimensions at position 425 to On power 426.As can be appreciated, at position 428, the compression stress acted on rectangular tube 420 causes rectangular tube 420 Surface (be probably internal) on corrugation or into waveform.Similarly, the position of expansion or stretching occurs in the material of rectangular tube 420 Put and observe crack 427.
As those skilled in the art can be appreciated that completely, using the circular steel of solid bar or hollow pipe form be The maximally effective equipment of roller coaster track is developed under the existing practice of tradition --- but the technique needs many progress.List several Bar, but be it is nonrestrictive, first, the material in circular form is expensive in itself.Second, material is difficult to suitably Required form is bent to, typically results in the method for a kind of " repetition test " to construct required track.Such as Fig. 2A -2C and figure Shown in 3A-3C, the manufacturing process also introduces stress in rail material and finally makes rail material weakened.
3rd, when material (such as steel) is positioned into circular form (such as rod or pipe), with triangle, rectangle, I shapes When beam or other forms are compared, material intensity in structure is little.Especially, rounded material is bearing cross force (transverse to material Expect length power) when rigidity it is smaller.
Regrettably, as drawing in figs. 4 a-4 c, use rectangle (or other forms, such as triangle or I-beam) Pipe, although more more effective than circular rod or pipe in structure in straight section, it is considerably complicated to bend to curve.More not enough It is generally no matter what material or pipe to be used, must be bent in Mixing Curve in multiple dimensions, and material may be needed The distortion of itself adapts to suitable required structure.
New construction and its construction
Fig. 5 is the front view of the roller-coaster according to an embodiment of the invention.Roller-coaster 500 includes chassis 502, bottom Disk 502 include wheel frame 504, wheel frame 504 thus be connected to one or more main wheels 506, the and of one or more lateral wheels 508 One or more return pulleys 510.One or more of main wheels 506, one or more lateral wheels 508 and one or more return pulleys 510 roll along square-section (or " I-beam ") track 512 as being drawn according to an embodiment of the invention.The mistake Roller coaster 500 can be using the track 512 that rigidity is bigger, more robust and is more easily manufactured, and the track 512 is by single plane Material segmented construction is simultaneously molded into square-section (or " I-beam ") profile.
Another significant advantage of this track 512 is the energy that track 512 is connected to ground or horizontal surface 520 Power, this in the roller-coaster (not shown) of traditional prior art be usually it is worthless or without using.That is, this connection energy Enough one or more king-bolts with being connected to surface 520 are adapted.
