Mittels Solareneraie anu^crie:' ?ne Eisenpahn für den aut Tummelplätzen Using solar energy anu^crie: ' ?an iron pahn for the outdoor playgrounds

Die Erfindung betrifft eine eleMlzt ■■■■■. ^ angetriebene Eisenbahn nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und findet vorzugsweise bei auf Anhänger montierten Eisenbahnanlagen Anwendung. The invention relates to an electrically powered railway according to the preamble of claim 1 and is preferably used in railway systems mounted on trailers.

Eisenbahnen, die auf Jahrmärkten und auf Volksfesten betrieben werden können sind allgemein bekannt. Diese haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß für den Betrieb dieser Anlagen ein adäquater Stromanschluß benötigt wird, der jedoch nicht immer vorhanden ist.Railways that can be operated at fairs and festivals are well known. However, these have the disadvantage that an adequate power connection is required to operate these systems, which is not always available.

Eine Eisenbahn gemäß der Erfindung beseitigt in diesem Fall das Problem dadurch, daß die Anlage völlig autark vom öffentlichen Versorgungsnetz arbeiten kann.In this case, a railway according to the invention eliminates the problem because the system can operate completely independently of the public supply network.

Eine Eisenbahnanlage bietet sich für den Betrieb mit durch photovoltaischen Zellen aus Lichtenergie erzeugtem Strom dadurch besonders an, da sich die Plattform, auf der sich die Schienen befinden, hervoragend, zum Beispiel im Innenkreis, mit Solarmodulen bestücken lässt, und da der Energiekonsum bei einer Eisenbahn im Vergleich zu anderen Pahrgeschäften gering ist.A railway system is particularly suitable for operation with electricity generated from light energy by photovoltaic cells because the platform on which the rails are located can be easily equipped with solar modules, for example in the inner circle, and because the energy consumption of a railway is low compared to other rail businesses.

Eine Eisenbahnanlage die durch Lichtenergie "angetrieben" wird, birgt zudem auf Volksfesten einen gewissen öberraechungseffekt, und ist deshalb besonders dazu geeignet, die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Solarenergie <nn einem außergewöhnlichen Beispiel zu veranschaulichen.A railway system that is "powered" by light energy also has a certain surprise effect at folk festivals and is therefore particularly suitable for illustrating the possible applications of solar energy in an unusual example.

Hin Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend u-^r Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen kurz beschrieben, in denen zeigt:An embodiment of the invention is briefly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 2 Vorderansicht der Eisenbahn.Fig. 2 Front view of the railway.

und Ansicht der auf einem Anhänger montierten Plattform im ausgeklappten Zustand.and view of the platform mounted on a trailer in the unfolded state.

Die schematisch dargestellte Eisenbahnanlage weist eine Plattform (1) auf, welche klappbar auf einem Anhänger (2) montiert werden kann. Auf der Plattform befinden sich die Schienen (3) auf welchen sich der Zug (4) befindet, sowie die Solarzellen (5), die bei Sonneneinstrahlung kontinuierlich Licht- in elektrische Energie umwandeln, und die Pufferakkus (6) mit Ladestrom zu versorgen. Durch diese Konstruktion kann der bei Stillstand des Zuges produzierte Strom für den nächsten Fahrzyklus in den Akkus gespeichert werden.The schematically shown railway system has a platform (1) which can be folded and mounted on a trailer (2). On the platform are the rails (3) on which the train (4) is located, as well as the solar cells (5) which, when exposed to sunlight, continuously convert light into electrical energy and supply the buffer batteries (6) with charging current. This design allows the electricity produced when the train is at a standstill to be stored in the batteries for the next driving cycle.

Sinnvollerweise werden energiesparende Permanentmagnetmotoren (Gleichstrommotoren) für den Antrieb des Zuges(4) ver wendet, welche durch die Pufferakkus beim Einschalten der Anlage mit Strom versorgt werden. Die Motoren können, je nach Art der Eisenbahn, über eine Oberleitung, über die Schienen oder auch über ein an einer Achse drehbar gelagertes, sich mitdrehendes Kabel an die Stromquelle angeschlossen sein, und die Elsenbahn über tin geeignetes Getriebe über die Räder antreiben.It makes sense to use energy-saving permanent magnet motors (DC motors) to drive the train (4), which are supplied with power by the buffer batteries when the system is switched on. Depending on the type of railway, the motors can be connected to the power source via an overhead line, via the rails or via a rotating cable mounted on an axle, and drive the Elsenbahn via the wheels using a suitable gear.

Die Eisenbahn kann je nach Belieben gestaltet sein, so zum Beispiel in Form einer Dampf- oder Elektrolokomotive.The railway can be designed as desired, for example in the form of a steam or electric locomotive.

Da die Fläche, die mit Solarzellen bestückt werden kann, mindestens 85 % der Gesamtfläche beträqt, ist es möglich auch bpi diffuser Sonneneinstrahlung oder bei geringer Globalstrahlung genügend elektrischen Strom für den Betrieb zu erzeugen.Since the area that can be equipped with solar cells is at least 85% of the total area, it is possible to generate enough electricity for operation even with diffuse solar radiation or low global radiation.

Die Eisenbahnanlage kann, um einen möglichst schnellen Auf- und Abbau des Gerätes zu gewährleisten, klappbar auf einem Kfz- Anhänger aufgebaut sein, wobei die Lokomotive sowie die Wagen auf der Grundplatte auf den bestehenden Schienen transportiert werden können.In order to ensure that the device can be assembled and disassembled as quickly as possible, the railway system can be set up in a foldable manner on a vehicle trailer, whereby the locomotive and the wagons can be transported on the base plate on the existing tracks.

Durch den Aufbau auf einen Kfz-Anhänger (2) ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, die Pufferakkus (6) unsichtbar, zum Beispiel unter der Fahrplattform untergebracht werden.By mounting it on a vehicle trailer (2), it is possible to store the buffer batteries (6) invisibly, for example under the driving platform.

Der Anhänger kann durch geeignete Stützen (8) in der Endstellung aufgestellt werden. Der Zug (4) mit den dazugehörigen Wagen bildet den umlaufenden Teil, der Anhänger (2), die Solarzellen (5), die Pufferakkus (6), sowie die Schienenanlage (3) gehören zur feststehenden Konstruktion.The trailer can be set up in the final position using suitable supports (8). The train (4) with the associated wagons forms the surrounding part, the trailer (2), the solar cells (5), the buffer batteries (6), and the rail system (3) belong to the fixed construction.

Andere Möglichkeiten sind zum Beispiel der Transport im zerlegren Zustand, wobei die Solarmodule durch geeignete Halterungen und Steckverbindungen leicht voneinander getrennt und verstaut werden können. Die Schienenanlage kann ebenfalls für den freien Aufbau auf dem Erdboden ausgestaltet sein, was eine größere Schienenlänge ermöglichen würde.Other options include transporting the system in a disassembled state, whereby the solar modules can be easily separated from one another and stowed away using suitable brackets and plug connections. The rail system can also be designed for free installation on the ground, which would allow for a longer rail length.
