Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roundtrip business with a central structure, on which star arms can be rotated and driven in a star configuration around a central axis, on the free ends of which passenger carriers hang, the central structure having an eccentric device with pull rods which are articulated with their upper ends to the cantilever arms and these pivot with the passenger carriers around axes tangential to the central axis in alternating high and sloping positions.
  • Circular rides of the type mentioned at the outset with an eccentric device are known, for example, by the names “Polyp”, “Kraken” or “Monster”. Its cantilever arms, which are pivotable on the circumference of the central structure about axes tangential to the central axis, rotate about the central axis during operation. Under the action of the eccentric device and the associated tie rods, the outrigger arms swivel around their articulation axes into alternating high and sloping positions.
  • the eccentric device of the round-trip business known from DE-U-1 956 873 consists of a turntable arranged concentrically to the central axis in the upper area of the central building, on the circumference of which _ that is to say eccentrically to the central axis _ the one end of the pull rod assigned to each extension arm is pivoted.
  • the other end of each tie rod is pivotally connected to the associated extension arm about an axis which is also tangential to the central axis.
  • the turntable is used to operate the eccentric device and / or the rotatable and drivable part of the central structure is rotated.
  • the relative difference in rotational speed on the one hand of the central building with the cantilevers and on the other hand of the eccentric device about the central axis determines the frequency of the cantilever swiveling movements.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a central eccentric device which manages with an actuating device, has high operational reliability and allows the setting of different eccentricities in a simple manner.
  • the eccentric device has two rotating rings arranged coaxially one above the other and concentric to the central axis, which can be rotated together and independently of the cantilever arms about the central axis, and the upper rotating ring in an oblique relative position to the lower
  • the slewing ring is pivotable, and that the tie rods are articulated with their lower ends to a driving ring which is supported coaxially on the upper slewing ring and is freely rotatably supported relative thereto.
  • a great advantage of this tour business is the versatile options for generating variable-height and speed-wobbling movements of the driving ring and correspondingly different rocking movements of the passenger carriers. If, for example, the upper and lower slewing rings are rotated with opposite directions of rotation, relatively frequent rocking movements of the passenger carriers can be generated even at relatively slow speeds. This enables a significant increase in the driving experience.
  • the upper slewing ring of a stand which is fastened to the lower slewing ring, is pivotably mounted about an axis tangential to the central axis and, diametrically to the stator, a lifting device consisting of a cylinder-piston rod arrangement is arranged between the lower and upper slewing ring is.
  • the amplitude of the approximately sinusoidal up and down movements of all swivel arms can be changed in a simple manner; Above all, however, the axial position of the lifting device can be chosen independently of the tie rod mounting, because the eccentric device is arranged below the tie rod linkage on the driving ring.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a circular ride, on the base frame 1 of which a central structure 2 rotatable about the central axis 4 is arranged, from the upper end of which extension arms 6 extend radially outward.
  • the cantilever arms 6 are divided in this embodiment and each consist of a support arm 6a rigidly connected to the central structure 2, on which (radially outward) a pivot arm 6b is pivotally pivoted about the axis 14 tangential to the central axis 4.
  • the tie rods 12 are articulated on the one hand at 15 on the swivel arms 6b, on the other hand on the eccentric device 10, namely their driving ring 28; the latter is described in more detail below.
  • Structural structures in the form of satellite crosses 5 are arranged rotatably about their central axis 11 at the free ends of the swivel arms 6b.
  • the electromotive drive 13 is only indicated in the form of the hub of the satellite cross 5.
  • the arms 3 of the satellite cross 5 end in support pieces 7 for the pivot axes 9 to the the passenger carriers 8 are rotatably attached by means of support arms 8a and hubs 8b attached to them.
  • the inclination of the axes 9 with respect to the main plane of the satellite cross 5, on the basis of which the pivot axes 9, as it were, enclose acute angles with the top of the arms 3, can be clearly seen in the drawing.
  • Restraint bars 8c in the passenger carriers 8 serve to ensure the safety of the passengers when operating the roundabout business.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show the eccentric device 10 in its (outermost) working position, in which the swivel arms 6b with the attached passenger carriers 8 are swiveled up and back alternately, while FIG. 3 illustrates the rest position of the eccentric device 10, in which all the passenger carriers 8 are Take a position where passengers can get on and off.
  • the central building 2 has a column 2a, which is supported on a rotary ball joint 38 so as to be rotatable about the central axis 4.
  • a pinion 30 meshes with the ring gear 39 of the ball slewing ring 38, which pinion can be driven by an electric motor 33 via a countershaft 31 and a belt drive 32.
  • a slewing ring 16 is arranged concentrically to the column 2a and the central axis 4 and is rotatably supported on a ball bearing connection 40 (independently of the column 2a) about the central axis 4.
  • the fixed part of the ball slewing bearing 40 is supported as well fixed part of the ball slewing ring 38 on the base plate 1.
  • An electric motor 37 can drive a pinion 34 via belts 36 and a countershaft 35, which meshes with the external toothing 42 of the ball slewing ring 40 and rotates the slewing ring 16 about the central axis 4.
  • the piston rod 26 of a hydraulic cylinder 24 is mounted on the slewing ring 16 with the aid of components of no interest here, about the axis 25 tangential to the central axis 4.
  • the cylinder 24 is pivotally mounted about an axis 27 parallel to the axis 25 on a further slewing ring 18.
  • the turntables 14, 18 are also connected by a stand 20 which is attached diametrically to the piston rod 26 of the hydraulic cylinder 24 on the turntable 16 and at the other end a radial shoulder 44 on the turntable 18 about the axis 22 pivotally mounted.
  • the axis 22 runs parallel to the superimposed axes 25 and 27, but offset by 180 ° with respect to the slewing rings 16 and 18.
  • the above-mentioned driving ring 28 which corresponds in its construction to the slewing rings 16 and 18, is supported on the slewing ring 18 via a ball slewing ring 46, freely rotatable about the central axis 4.
  • the ends of the tie rods 12 facing the central structure 2 are pivotally supported by supports 48 around _ again tangential _ axes 50 to the central axis 4.
  • the other ends of the tie rods 12 are articulated with the axes 15 on the swivel arms 6b.
  • the support arms 6a fastened thereon take the swivel arms 6b and also the driving ring 28 via the tie rods 12.
  • This rotation of the driving ring 28 is independent of whether the slewing rings 16 and 18 also rotate or _ if they do so _ their speed about the central axis 4 is the same or a different one. Because the ball slewing ring 46 allows a relative rotation.
  • the electric motor 37 can drive the pinion 34 and thus the slewing ring 16. If the slewing ring 16 rotates about the central axis 4, it also takes along the slewing ring 18 as a result of the connection, on the one hand, through the stand 20 and, on the other hand, through the hydraulic cylinder 24 with the piston rod 26.
  • each pull rod 12 which is located just above the pivot axis 22 of the rotating ring 18, all other pull rods 12 are pulled down and accordingly pivot their pivot arms 6b, as can be seen on the left in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • each pull rod 12 periodically passes through the two extreme positions shown in FIG. 2 and each intermediate position, which leads to the desired pivoting of the swivel arms 6b with the satellite crosses 5.
  • the rotary movements generated by the electric motors 33, 37 can be superimposed on one another, specifically with an opposite direction of rotation. Because then a relatively frequent and thus rapid rocking movement of the satellite crosses 5 can be generated with relatively slow speeds. Vice versa with the same direction and the same fast drive of the two rotating systems, the satellite crosses 5 would not be pivoted up and down even if the rotating ring 18 and the driving ring 28 assume their position shown in FIG. 2, the eccentric device 10 is thus in the (extreme) working position. Rather, the wholly or partially raised satellite crosses 5 would maintain this relative position, as would the lowered or only slightly raised satellite cross 5 regardless of the rotation of the column 2a about the central axis 4 (and thus a corresponding rotation of the satellite crosses 5 about the central axis 4).
  • the arrangement described above has the further advantage that, due to the positioning of the lifting device (hydraulic cylinder 24, piston rod 26) on the one hand and the stator 20 on the other hand, the position of the lifting device (ie the axial position of the hydraulic cylinder 24 and the piston rod 26) below the axes 50 of the tie rods 12 ) can be selected independently of the tie rod mounting.
  • the axes 22 and 50 advantageously have the same distance from the central axis 4, so that the lifting movement of the turntable 18 only leads to the pivoting up (not also partially lowering) of the satellite crosses 5.
