Definitions

  • the invention relates to a track guide for a passenger-receiving vehicle of a high-rise store of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a track guide for a passenger vehicle of a high-rise shop of the type specified finally emerges from DE-PS 3 001 450 and has rails which have an acceleration section, for example a straight downhill section or a type of catapult, a rollover section consisting of several areas , in which the vehicle is rotated about its transverse axis, two helical areas in which the vehicle is rotated about its longitudinal axis, and form an outlet section.
  • This track layout thus combines a helix with a rollover area, so that a type of track also referred to as “looping” is created.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a track guide for a passenger-receiving vehicle of a high-rise store of the type specified, which on the one hand enables the entire, interesting part of the train to be observed by spectators and on the other hand enables a new driving experience.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention are based on the fact that the track curve in the vertical track layout results in the shape of a lying or a standing figure of eight, which creates new driving effects which, even in comparison with multiple looping, lead to greater driving pleasure.
  • the radius of the spiral portions gradually decreases, corresponding to a flat spiral curve which is referred to as "K l othoide.
  • Such a ride up can easily be designed in such a way that visitors to a fairground passing the store can closely follow the vehicles and thus the reactions of the passengers both in the rollover routes and in the two spiral areas and are therefore encouraged to visit this ride .
  • the required maximum speed is approximately 90 km / h, which can be achieved with a highest point of the acceleration section of approximately 33 m.
  • This embodiment can be easily implemented from individual, interconnectable rail elements, so that it is particularly suitable as a mobile ride-up business for fairgrounds.
  • the highest point of the acceleration section must have a height of approximately 50 m above the ground in order to achieve the maximum speed of approximately 110 km / h required for passing through the rollover area.
  • this embodiment will therefore only come into question as a stationary fairground ride for amusement parks.
  • the passenger-receiving vehicles of a high-rise store begins at a highest point 12 of an acceleration section 14, which is located approximately 33 m above the ground.
  • the vehicles can be brought to this highest point 12, for example, via a conventional elevator route. It is also possible to use, at least in part, the kinetic energy of the vehicles which they still have when leaving the track guide 10 for the transport to the highest point 12. Finally, there is also the possibility that the vehicles again travel through the track guide 10 in the opposite direction, in order to be supported by an elevator route arranged in the acceleration route 14 to get back to the highest point 12.
  • the rails forming the track guide 10 for example a single rail or a double rail, are supported by the usual steel supports (not shown) which, like the rails, can be dismantled as required.
  • the acceleration section 14 begins at the highest point 12, on which the rails run down to point 16 in a straight line, ie without any twisting. On this acceleration path 14, the vehicles move downward under their own weight at a constantly increasing speed.
  • the acceleration section 14 merges into a first rollover area 18, which has an approximately semicircular shape.
  • the vehicles At the lowest point 20 of the first rollover area 18, the vehicles have a speed of approximately 90 km / h and then drive upwards on the inside of the rollover area 18, so that the heads are at the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 the passengers are facing downwards.
  • a first spiral area designed as a slope begins.
  • this helical area which extends approximately from the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 to a deepest point 34, the vehicles are rotated through 180 ° about their longitudinal axis, i. that is, at the lowest point 34, the heads of the passengers are directed upwards again.
  • the helical area has a first helical section 24, which begins approximately at the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 and ends at point 26.
  • the radius of the first spiral section 24 is defined by a clothoid, that is to say a flat curve, the radius of curvature r of which is inversely proportional at each point of its arc length s measured from the zero point of the coordinate system.
  • a clothoid can be defined using the following equation:
  • first helical section 24 At the end of the first helical section 24 indicated at 26 there is a short straight line 28 with a gradient lying in a vertical plane, which at 30 merges into a second helical section 32.
  • a second rollover area 36 begins, at the highest point 38 of which the heads of the passengers are directed downwards again.
  • the first spiral section 40 is adjoined by a straight line section 44 with a gradient at the beginning 42 and the end 46 lying in a vertical plane.
  • the two coil areas 24, 28, 32 and 40, 44, 48, in which the vehicles are each rotated through 180 ° about their longitudinal axis therefore consist of two coil sections 24, 32 and 40, 48, in which the vehicles be rotated by 90 ° about its longitudinal axis, and a straight line 28 or 44 with a slope, in which the rails lie in a plane arranged at right angles to the ground.
  • the straight lines 28, 44 have a slight horizontal curvature, as can be seen from the plan view according to FIG. 2, so that the vehicles and therefore also the passengers this deviation from the linear movement is pressed by the inertial forces against the rails or against the seats. There is therefore no danger in this area that the vehicles and the passengers can tip down sideways.
  • the two rollover areas 18, 36 are arranged next to one another in the horizontal direction, so that the shape of a vertical figure eight results.
  • the highest point 12 of the acceleration section 14 is approximately 33 m and the two highest points 22, 38 of the rollover areas 18, 36 are approximately 21 m above the lowest points 20, 34.
  • the rails starting from a not shown, highest point on the acceleration path, which is approximately 50 m high, run on a curved gradient 62 to a lowest point 64, at which the vehicles one Reach speed of about 100 km / h.
  • the rails which are mounted on steel supports (not shown) in the usual way, run upwards on a circular arc piece 66 to a point 68 at which a first spiral section 70 begins.
  • the first spiral section 70 is followed by a straight line 74 lying in a vertical plane with the start 72 and the end 76, which is followed by a second spiral section 78.
  • the heads of the passengers are directed downward.
  • the first spiral section 86 is followed by a straight line 90 lying in a vertical plane with a slope with the start 88 and the end 92, which in turn is followed by a second spiral section 94.
  • the end of the spiral section 94 is indicated at 96.
  • the track guide 60 has the shape of a vertical figure eight, with a small figure on a circle with a relatively large diameter (in the embodiment shown, the “crossing point would be approximately 32 m above the deepest point 64) Circle with a radius of about 6 m is arranged. The highest point of the track guide 60 would therefore be about 45 m above the lowest point 64.
  • the two straight lines 74 and 90 lying in the vertical have a slight curvature in the horizontal direction, which, similarly to the embodiment according to FIGS Keep vehicles on the rails and on the other hand the passengers in the seats of the vehicles.
