Definitions

  • a water jump track according to the preamble of claim 1 with a ski jump for jumping a boat occupied by a person into a water basin is known from DE-OS 32 29 807.
  • the boat rolls on the ski jump with four wheels. It is connected at its rear end to a pull rope, which is guided to a winch via a deflection roller at the upper end of the ski jump. After boarding the boat, it is pulled backwards up the ski jump using the winch. As soon as the drive motor releases the winch, the boat accelerates along the ski jump. This has an upward curved lane at the lower end, which gives the boat the desired jump angle and the desired swirl, so that after its free flight the boat hits the water surface in the pool at an angle of about 10 to 30 degrees.
  • This water jump has proven itself and is particularly suitable for amusement parks. However, it has a low capacity because the boat is designed for only one person and the system can only be operated with one boat, so that the time interval between two jumps is relatively large.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a web according to the preamble of claim 1 so that a substantial increase in capacity is possible. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the landing angle at which the boat lands in the water has proven to be a very important criterion for the perfect functioning of the ski jump. Accelerated from a downward gradient to a certain speed, the boat runs through a talc curve, at the end of which the tread carrying the boat ends at a distance above the water level of the water basin. The state of motion of the boat immediately after leaving the jump is supplemented by the acceleration of the fall. Both together determine the trajectory of the trajectory and the landing angle.
  • the parameters that are important for the landing angle are the take-off angle, the twist around a horizontal transverse axis and the flight time.
  • the take-off angle can only be varied to a limited extent without significant disadvantages and is not the only element required to achieve a correct landing angle.
  • the landing angle (angle between the longitudinal axis of the boat and the water surface) is conveniently between 10 and 30 degrees.
  • the horizontal deceleration becomes significantly more than 30 degrees, the vertical deceleration significantly below 10 degrees.
  • the twist with which the boat rotates about its horizontal transverse axis during flight time must create an angle in flight time that, as a sum with the jump angle, complies with the limit values both fully occupied and empty.
  • the solution according to the invention according to the characterizing part of claim 1 ensures that the top-heavy torque which otherwise acts in the jump-off area is only partially or not at all effective. This allows the center distance to be increased significantly without the risk of the favorable landing angle range being exceeded or undershot.
  • the design of the jump area of the ski jump according to the invention overcomes the limits set by the center distance and the location on steep routes and clears the way for a circulatory system and for boats with more than one person.
  • a water jump track for the circuit of boats equipped with front and rear wheels is shown.
  • water is circulated in the direction of arrows A by means of pumps, not shown. It flows into the back of a water basin 2 and out of the basin 2 to an exit platform 3 and via an entry platform 4 to a ramp 5 with a chain conveyor 6.
  • This lifts the circulating boats onto a slightly inclined gradient 7, on which they are on theirs Roll wheels to a ski jump 8.
  • the boats land in the pool 2 and are returned to the exit platform 3 by the circulating water.
  • a first embodiment of the lower part of the ski jump 8 with an associated boat 20 is shown.
  • the boat 20 is designed for two people sitting in a row. It has four wheels, the front wheels 21 having a smaller track width than the rear wheels 22. Accordingly, the guide trough 23 has the ski jump 8 in the jump area 28 a tread 25 for the rear wheels 22 which is separate from the tread 24 for the front wheels 21.
  • the tread 24 has a radius of curvature 26 in the bottom part of the hill 8 which gives the boat 20 a counterclockwise swirl in the illustration according to FIG. 2 .
  • the tread 24 is formed by the top of two wedges 30 placed on the bottom 29 of the trough 23.
  • the force of the tread 25 on the rear wheels 22 causes a clockwise torque, that is to say a swirl breakdown.
  • the tread 25 has a larger radius of curvature than the tread 24 in the jump area 28 of the hill 8, the length of which is equal to the center distance of the wheels 21, 22, so that the tread 25 relates to the Tread 24 lowers against the hill end 27 and the tangent of the tread 25 at the hill end 27 is flatter than the tangent of the tread 24 at the hill end 27.
  • the track 32 of the rear wheels 22 also decreases relative to the track 31 of the front wheels 21 against the hill end 27 from and the tangent of the web 32 of the rear wheels 22 at the end of the jump 27 is flatter than the tangent of the web 31 of the front wheels 21.
  • This measure can despite the varying center of gravity due to the different occupation of the boat 20 and despite the safe operation in the circuit required large center distance can be achieved that the twist of the boat 20 when lifting the rear wheels 22 from the jump nende 27 can be kept within narrow limits. This ensures that the country angle of the boat 20 maintains the optimal range of 10 degrees to 30 degrees, regardless of the loading condition of the boat 20.
  • the end 33 of the tread 25 for the rear wheels 22 can lie in front of the hill end 27 within the jump area 28. In the limit, when the tread end 33 is set back by the center distance, the front and rear wheels 21, 22 lift off simultaneously and the twist of the boat 20 when lifting off is completely independent of the center of gravity.
  • FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the front wheels 41 of the boat 40 have the same track as the rear wheels 42.
  • An end section 43 of the tread 44 for the front and rear wheels 41, 42 is pivotable about a horizontal axis 45, that is to say movable in the vertical direction.
  • the section 43 carries at the front end a two-armed lever 46 which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis 47.
  • One arm of the lever 46 is designed as a detent 48 and carries a roller 49 at the free end, which in the basic position shown by a spring 50 in one Support 51 engages.
  • the other arm of the lever 46 is a trigger 52 projecting over the running surface 44.
  • the section 43 When falling off, the section 43 strikes a rubber buffer 53 and actuates a limit switch 54, the switching pulse of which starts a geared motor 55.
  • a crank 56 rotated by the motor 55 abuts with a roller 57 against a lever 58 rigidly connected to the section 43 and lifts the section 43 back into the basic position shown, in which the catch 48 engages in the support 51. After the crank 56 rotates 360 degrees, the motor 55 stops.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further variant in which the boat 40 is identical to that of FIG. 4, that is to say also has the same track for the front and rear wheels 41, 42.
  • An end portion 63 of the tread 64 for the wheels 41, 42 is in turn pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis 65.
  • the section 63 has a flywheel 66 at the free end and is preloaded into the basic position shown by a spring 68 against a rubber buffer 69 via a lever 67 rigidly connected to the section 63.
  • the radius of curvature of the upper side 70 of the section 63 decreases towards the free end.
  • the contour of the upper side 70, the flywheel 66 and the spring 68 are coordinated with one another such that when the section 63 is driven by the front wheels 41, the reaction forces of the accelerated movement of the section 63 onto the wheels 41 result in a track 71 of the wheels 41 result, which corresponds approximately to the web 31 in Fig. 2.
  • the section 63 continues to rotate clockwise because of its flywheel 66, delayed by the spring 68.
  • the rear wheels 42 thus lift off the tread 64 in the region of the axle 65 and fly over the end of the hill at about the point in time at which the section 63 has reached the lower end position shown in broken lines.
  • the pivoting movement of section 63 is limited by a further rubber buffer 73. With this embodiment, the same effect is achieved with other means as with the embodiment according to FIG. 4.
  • section 63 In order to reduce the total mass required, the movement of section 63 can be translated to a flywheel. Instead of the spring 68, the preloading by a counterweight would also be possible.
  • FIG. 6 shows a part of the water basin 2 with a built-in air cushion and a landing boat 40 in a side view.
  • a frame 74 which is connected to the pelvic substructure, has four connecting eyes 75.
  • a belt 78 is fastened to these connecting eyes by means of two chains 76 and two tensioning screws 77.
  • a sack 79 made of a flexible material, for example a plastic film and partially filled with air is arranged in the center under the belt 78, which tensions belt 78 due to the buoyancy in the water. So that the air-filled sack 79 cannot push itself out to the side, it is held by lateral retaining straps 80 which are connected to the frame 74.
  • the compressibility of the air in the air cushion arranged in the water significantly reduces the amount of water to be moved. This makes it possible for the landing angle to be significant choose lower and thereby make the pitching movement meaningless.
  • the boat 40 is decelerated relatively evenly vertically on a larger path and then transferred to the water in a stable position. There it is lifted to the surface according to the water ski principle and there is correspondingly little horizontal deceleration. With this design of the water basin, the landing angle becomes less critical, so that even larger swirl deviations than those achievable with the formation of the jump area of the jump 8 according to FIGS. 2 to 5 can be accepted.
