Abstract

The turning device for rail-bound vehicles permits, in particular, reversal of the direction of movement of successive rail-bound vehicles at a rapid rate. The device comprises a turntable (1), on which two stretches of rail (2a,b, 3a,b) cross one another at 90 DEG , a rail feeding stretch (4a,b) and a rail discharging stretch (5a,b) which are also at an angle of 90 DEG to one another. In the initial condition, a vehicle (10) travels over the rail feeding stretch to the turntable (1). The turntable (1) turns through 90 DEG and the vehicle (10) leaves the turntable (1) backwards on the rail discharging stretch (5a, b). While the first vehicle is leaving the turntable (1), a second vehicle may already be moving up to the turntable (1) over the rail feeding stretch (4a,b). The turntable (1) in each case turns in discrete steps through 90 DEG , always in the same direction of rotation. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Drehvorrichtung für Schienenfahrzeuge der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a turning device for rail vehicles of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.

Drehvorrichtungen dieser Art sind schon seit längerem bekannt. Sie bestehen aus einer Drehscheibe mit einem Schienenstrang und dienen als Verteiler zum Verfahren eines Schienenfahrzeuges auf einen anderen Schienenstrang. Auch ermöglichen sie eine Bewegungsrichtungsumkehr, wobei das Schienenfahrzeug auf die Drehscheibe vorwärts fährt und diese nach der Verdrehung in eine neue Richtung rückwärts verläßt.Rotary devices of this type have been known for a long time. They consist of a turntable with a rail track and serve as a distributor for moving a rail vehicle onto another rail track. They also enable a reversal of the direction of movement, the rail vehicle moving forward on the turntable and leaving it in a new direction after the rotation.

Eine solche Vorrichtung, bei welcher zwei Schienenstränge über eine Drehscheibe miteinander verbunden sind und die die Bewegungsrichtung eines Schienenfahrzeugs umkehrt, ist grundsätzlich bekannt. Ein wesentlicher Nachteil dieser Vorrichtung ist, daß die Drehscheibe zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen immer wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Position zurückgestellt werden muß. Dadurch wird die Taktfrequenz, mit der die Drehscheibe mit Fahrzeugen beschickt werden kann, erheblich eingeschränkt. Eine hohe Taktfrequenz ist vor allem bei Fahrgeschäften im Schaustellergewerbe, z. B. bei Achterbahnen, Wildwasserbahnen etc., von großer Bedeutung, um eine möglichst hohe Benutzerfrequenz zu erreichen.Such a device, in which two rail tracks are connected to one another via a turntable and which reverses the direction of movement of a rail vehicle, is known in principle. A major disadvantage of this device is that the turntable between two vehicles must always be reset to its original position. This considerably limits the clock frequency with which the turntable can be loaded with vehicles. A high clock frequency is particularly important for fairground rides, e.g. B. roller coasters, White water rides etc., of great importance in order to achieve the highest possible user frequency.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die den oben genannten Mangel vermeidet, eine hohe Betriebszuverlässigkeit aufweist und kostengünstig herzustellen ist.The object of the invention is to provide a device which avoids the above-mentioned defect, has a high operational reliability and is inexpensive to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Patentanspruch 1 genannten kennzeichnenden Merkmale gelöst. Wesentlicher Vorteil ist, daß die Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung nicht mehr zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen zurückgestellt werden muß. Während das vorhergehende Fahrzeug die Drehscheibe rückwärts verläßt kann das folgende Fahrzeug schon auf die Drehscheibe auffahren. Dadurch entstehen keine unnötigen Wartezeiten, wodurch die Taktfrequenz erheblich erhöht wird.This object is achieved by the characterizing features mentioned in claim 1. A significant advantage is that the device according to the invention no longer has to be reset between two vehicles. While the previous vehicle is leaving the turntable in reverse, the following vehicle can already hit the turntable. This eliminates unnecessary waiting times, which increases the clock frequency considerably.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous features of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Im folgenden ist der Gegenstand der Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten, in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1 zeigt eine Aufsicht der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Auf einer Drehscheibe 1 sind zwei sich unter einem Winkel von 90° kreuzende Schienenstränge 2a,b und 3a,b angeordnet. Ein erstes Fahrzeug 10 fährt über einen Schienenzuführstrang 4a,b auf den Schienenstrang 3a,b der Drehscheibe 1 auf. Ein Fahrzeug 11 verläßt die Drehscheibe 1 über den Schienenstrang 2a,b auf einen Schienenabführstrang 5a,b. Die gesamte Drehvorrichtung wird von einem im Grundriß kreuzförmigen Rahmen 6 getragen. An diesem Rahmen 6 sind auf der dem Schienenabführstrang 5a,b gegenüberliegenden Seite ein Abstoßzylinder 21 und eine hydraulische Vorschubvorrichtung 22 mit einem Vorschubzylinder 23 angebracht. Auf der dem Schienenzuführstrang 4a,b gegenüberliegenden Seite ist ein Stoßdämpfer 20 am Rahmen 6 angebracht.Figure 1 shows a plan view of the device according to the invention. On a turntable 1, two rail tracks 2a, b and 3a, b crossing at an angle of 90 ° are arranged. A first vehicle 10 drives onto the rail track 3a, b of the turntable 1 via a rail feed track 4a, b. A vehicle 11 leaves the turntable 1 via the rail section 2a, b onto a rail discharge section 5a, b. The entire rotating device is supported by a frame 6 which is cruciform in plan. A repulsion cylinder 21 and a hydraulic feed device 22 with a feed cylinder 23 are attached to this frame 6 on the side opposite the rail discharge line 5a, b. A shock absorber 20 is attached to the frame 6 on the side opposite the rail feed line 4a, b.

In Figur 2 ist eine schematische Seitenansicht der teilweise im Längsschnitt dargestellten erfindungsgemäßen Drehvorrichtung zu erkennen. Auf der Drehscheibe 1 steht nunmehr das Fahrzeug 10. Die Drehscheibe 1 ist drehbar über einen Drehkranz 31 mit der Sockeldeckplatte 8 eines Sockels 7 verbunden. Der Sockel 7 sitzt auf dem Rahmen 6. In der Sockeldeckplatte 8 des Sockels 7 und in der Drehscheibe 1 sind zentrale Öffnungen vorhanden, durch die eine hydraulische Bootshalteeinrichtung 40 mit einem Drehteller 41, der am Boden des Fahrzeugs 10 anliegt, hindurchgreift.FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the rotating device according to the invention, shown partly in longitudinal section. The vehicle 10 now stands on the turntable 1. The turntable 1 is rotatably connected to the base cover plate 8 of a base 7 via a turntable 31. The base 7 is seated on the frame 6. In the base cover plate 8 of the base 7 and in the turntable 1 there are central openings through which a hydraulic boat holding device 40 with a turntable 41 which bears against the floor of the vehicle 10 extends.

Unterhalb der Drehscheibe 1 ist ein ringförmiger Lenkkranz 30 angebracht. An diesem Lenkkranz 30 ist die Vorschubführung für den Stempel 24 eines Vorschubzylinders 23 befestigt. Der Stempel 24 ist gelenkig mit dem Lenkkranz 30 und der Vorschubzylinder 23 gelenkig mit dem Rahmen 6 verbunden.An annular steering collar 30 is attached below the turntable 1. The feed guide for the punch 24 of a feed cylinder 23 is fastened to this steering ring 30. The punch 24 is articulated to the steering ring 30 and the feed cylinder 23 is articulated to the frame 6.

An der Unterseite der Drehscheibe 1 sind, wie Figur 4 zeigt, in 90°-Symmetrie vier keilförmige Rastvorsprünge 32 befestigt, die im Detail in Fig. 3 zusammen mit einem horizontal gelagerten, drehbaren Rasthebel 33, der einerends keilförmig ausläuft, dargestellt sind.On the underside of the turntable 1, as shown in FIG. 4, four wedge-shaped locking projections 32 are fastened in 90 ° symmetry, which are shown in detail in FIG. 3 together with a horizontally mounted, rotatable locking lever 33, which ends at one end in a wedge shape.

Anhand von Figur 3 und 4 ist das Funktionsprinzip der Drehvorrichtung erläutert.The operating principle of the rotating device is explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Durch den exzentrisch zur Symmetrie- bzw. Drehachse A-A der Drehscheibe 1 an dem Lenkkranz 30 gelenkig angebrachten Stempel 24 wird die lineare Bewegung des Vorschubzylinders 23 in eine Drehbewegung umgewandelt. Bei der Drehung der Drehscheibe 1 greift das keilförmige Ende des Rasthebels 33 kraftschlüssig an einem der Rastvorsprünge 32 der Drehscheibe 1 an. Hierdurch wird die Drehscheine 1 mitgenommen und gedreht. Der Hub des Vorschubzylinders 23 ist so bemessen, daß der Lenkkranz 30 um 90° verdreht wird. Bei der Rückwärtsbewegung des Lenkkranzes 30 wird das keilförmige Ende des Rasthebels 33 durch die abgeschrägte Fläche 32a des Rastvorsprungs 32 über den Rastvorsprung 32 angehoben. Der Schwerpunkt des Rasthebels 33 liegt auf dem dem keilförmigen Ende gegenüberliegenden Hebelarm, so daß das keilförmige Ende aufgrund der Schwerkraft gegen die Unterseite der Drehscheibe 1 gedrückt wird. Mit Hilfe dieser Vorrichtung wird die 90°-Drehbewegung des Lenkkranzes 30 in Vorwärtsrichtung auf die Drehscheibe 1 übertragen. Bei der Rückwärtsdrehung des Lenkkranzes 30 erfolgt keine Übertragung der Drehbewegung auf die Drehscheibe 1. Durch die 90°-symmetrische Anordnung der Rastvorsprünge 32 ist gewährleistet, daß nach dem Zurückfahren des Vorschubzylinders 23 der Rasthebel 33 gerade wieder mit einem Rastvorsprung 32 in Eingriff gelangt.The linear movement of the feed cylinder 23 is converted into a rotary movement by the stamp 24 which is articulated eccentrically to the axis of symmetry or rotation AA of the turntable 1 on the steering ring 30. When the turntable 1 rotates, the wedge-shaped end of the latching lever 33 engages non-positively on one of the latching projections 32 of the turntable 1. As a result, the rotating tickets 1 are taken along and rotated. The stroke of the feed cylinder 23 is dimensioned such that the steering collar 30 is rotated by 90 °. During the backward movement of the steering ring 30, the wedge-shaped end of the locking lever 33 is raised by the beveled surface 32a of the locking projection 32 above the locking projection 32. The center of gravity of the locking lever 33 lies on the lever arm opposite the wedge-shaped end, so that the wedge-shaped end is pressed against the underside of the turntable 1 due to gravity. With the aid of this device, the 90 ° rotary movement of the steering ring 30 is transmitted to the turntable 1 in the forward direction. When the steering ring 30 rotates backwards, there is no transmission of the rotary movement to the turntable 1. The 90 ° symmetrical arrangement of the locking projections 32 ensures that after the feed cylinder 23 is retracted, the locking lever 33 just comes into engagement with a locking projection 32 again.

Im folgenden ist die Richtungsumkehr eines Schienenfahrzeuges genauer beschrieben.The reversal of direction of a rail vehicle is described in more detail below.

Im Ausgangszustand sind der Schienenstrang 3a,b mit dem Schienenzuführstrang 4a,b und der Schienenstrang 2a,b mit dem Schienenabführstrang 5a,b bündig, so daß ein Auffahren oder Abfahren eines Schienenfahrzeuges 10, 11 auf die bzw. von der Drehscheibe 1 möglich ist. Fährt ein Schienenfahrzeug 10 in diesem Ausgangszustand über den Schienenzuführstrang 4a,b auf die Drehscheibe 1, so wird es auf dieser zum Stillstand gebracht. Gegebenenfalls sorgt ein Stoßdämpfer 20, der in der Verlängerung des Schienenzuführstrangs 4a,b am Rahmen 6 angebracht ist, für eine zusätzliche Abbremsung. Gehalten wird das Fahrzeug auf der Drehscheibe 1 durch den Drehteller 41, der von unten mittels eines Hubmotors 42 gegen das Fahrzeug gedrückt wird. Durch die Drehung der Drehscheibe 1 um 90° wird das Fahrzeug in eine neue Richtung gebracht. In dieser neuen Position wird die Drehscheibe 1 durch eine Haltevorrichtung fixiert. Sobald die Fixierung erfolgt ist, kann die hydraulische Vorschubvorrichtung 22 in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurückfahren, während das Fahrzeug nach Loslösen des Drehtellers 41 die Drehscheibe 1 über den Schienenabführstrang 5a,b verläßt. Da der Schienenzuführstrang 4a,b jetzt bereits mit dem Schienenstrang 2a,b bündig ist, kann ein neues Fahrzeug auf die Drehscheibe 1 auffahren. Die Drehung erfolgt so, daß die Fahrzeuge die Drehscheibe 1 rückwärts auf dem Schienenabfuhrstrang 5a,b verlassen.In the initial state, the rail line 3a, b is flush with the rail feed line 4a, b and the rail line 2a, b with the rail discharge line 5a, b, so that it is possible for a rail vehicle 10, 11 to move onto or from the turntable 1. In this initial state, if a rail vehicle 10 travels to the turntable 1 via the rail feed line 4a, b, it is brought to a standstill on the turntable 1. If necessary, a shock absorber 20, which is attached to the frame 6 in the extension of the rail feed line 4a, b, provides additional braking. The vehicle is held on the turntable 1 by the turntable 41, which is pressed against the vehicle from below by means of a lifting motor 42. By rotating the turntable 1 by 90 °, the vehicle is brought in a new direction. The turntable 1 is fixed in this new position by a holding device. As soon as the fixation has taken place, the hydraulic feed device 22 can move back into its starting position, while the vehicle leaves the turntable 1 via the rail discharge line 5a, b after the turntable 41 has been released. Since the rail feed line 4a, b is now flush with the rail line 2a, b, a new vehicle can drive onto the turntable 1. The rotation takes place so that the vehicles leave the turntable 1 backwards on the rail discharge line 5a, b.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser revolverartig arbeitenden Drehvorrichtung ist, daß nach dem Drehen der Drehscheibe 1 die Vorrichtung automatisch zur Aufnahme eines neuen Fahrzeuges bereit ist.A major advantage of this revolver-like turning device is that after turning the turntable 1, the device is automatically ready to receive a new vehicle.
