Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fördervorrichtung für schienengebundene Fahrzeuge oder Fahrzeugzüge zur Überwindung des Anstiegs bei einer Berg- und Talstrecke, insbesondere für Belustigungsvorrichtungen, bei der eine längs der Schienen in einer Führung geführte Schlepphilfe lösbar über einen Kettenhaken oder dergleichen mit dem Fahrzeug in Eingriff gebracht wird.The invention relates to a conveyor for rail-bound vehicles or vehicle trains for Overcoming the ascent on a mountain and valley route, especially for amusement devices where one Towing aid guided along the rails in a guide releasably via a chain hook or the like with the Vehicle is engaged.
Solche Förderstrecken kommen beispielsweise bei Belustigungsvorrichtungen, insbesondere bei Achterbahnen, Berg- und Talbahnen als Aufzughilfe für die Fahrzeuge vor. Die Fahrzeuge werden motorisch auf die höchste Stelle der Belustigungsvorrichtung gebracht, um von dort mit Schwung selbständig die Strecke zu durchfahren. Zur motorischen Aufwärtsbewegung der Fahrzeuge werden endlose und längs der Schienen geführte Kettentriebe verwendet, die sich längs der Bergstrecke zwischen den Schienen erstrecken (DE-OS 28 32 991). Das einzelne Fahrzeug wird mittels eines Kettenhakens von diesen umlaufenden Ketten bis zum höchsten Punkt der Belustigungsvorrichtung mitgeschleppt, um sich dort von der Aufzugskette zu lösen. Eine solche umlaufende Förderkette weist besonders bei großen Höhenunterschieden ein erhebliches Gewicht auf und bedarf der ständigen Wartung wegen des hohen Verschleißes. Wegen des Polygonaffektes an ihren Umlenkrädern ist die Fördergeschwindigkeit der vorbekannten Aufzughilfe begrenzt. Außerdem sind Geräuschbildungen an Umlenk- und Antriebsrädern erheblich. Such conveyor lines come in for example Amusement devices, especially in roller coasters, Mountain and valley railways as a lift aid for the vehicles. The vehicles are motorized to the highest position Amusement device brought to from there with momentum to drive through the route independently. For motor The upward movement of the vehicles become endless and longitudinal of the track-guided chain drives that are used extend along the mountain route between the rails (DE-OS 28 32 991). The individual vehicle is by means of a chain hook from these revolving chains to towed the highest point of the amusement device, to detach from the elevator chain there. Such revolving conveyor chain points especially at large Differences in height a significant weight and needs constant maintenance due to high wear. Because of of the polygon effect on their deflection wheels is Conveying speed of the known elevator aid limited. In addition, there are noises at the deflection and Drive wheels considerably.
Wenn das Ziel gesteckt ist, den Höhenunterschied und die Steilheit der Aufzugstrecke wesentlich zu vergrößern, ist die vorbekannte Aufzughilfe weder kommerziell noch technisch von Vorteil.If the goal is set, the height difference and the The steepness of the elevator route must be increased significantly the known elevator aid neither commercial nor technically advantageous.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Förderhilfe zu entwickeln, die zur Überwindung großer Höhenunterschiede geeignet ist, einer umlaufenden Förderkette nicht bedarf, weniger Kosten verursacht und eine höhere Fördergeschwindigkeit bei geringerer Geräuschbildung zulässt.The invention has for its object a grant to develop great ones to overcome Height differences is a circumferential Conveyor chain is not required, causes less costs and a higher conveying speed with less noise allows.
Die Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die Schlepphilfe aus einem endlichen Abschnitt, insbesondere Kettenabschnitt besteht, der mit seinem vorderen Ende mit dem ansteigenden Abschnitt eines endlos geführten Seilzuges verbunden ist und von diesem längs des Anstiegs der Bergstrecke aufwärts bis über den Scheitel der Bergstrecke gezogen und anschließend wieder abwärts bewegt wird, wobei der Abschnitt in seiner Ausgangs- und Ruhestellung mit dem rückwärtigen Ende unter dem wartenden Fahrzeug zu liegen kommt und sich mit seinem vorderen Ende oberhalb der aüßersten Umlenkrolle des Seilzuges befindet, die sich im Fußbereich des Anstiegs der Bergstrecke befindet.The object of the invention is achieved by that the towing aid consists of a finite section, in particular chain section, which with its front end with the rising section of an endless guided cable is connected and by this along the Ascent of the mountain route up to the top the mountain route and then down again is moved, the section in its initial and Rest position with the back end under the waiting Vehicle comes to rest and with its front end above the outermost pulley of the cable is located in the foot area of the climb of the mountain route located.
Diese Maßnahme hat den Vorteil, daß der endliche Abschnitt während seiner Rückwärtsbewegung bis unter das wartende Fahrzeug geschoben wird und dort mit ihm über den Kettenhaken verbunden werden kann, während das vordere Ende des Abschnittes sich schon im Fußbereich des Anstiegs befindet. Dadurch gelangt der Seilzug nicht in den konkaven Übergangsbereich am unteren Ende des Anstiegs der Bergstrecke.This measure has the advantage that the finite section while moving backwards below the waiting one Vehicle is pushed and there with him over the Chain hook can be connected while the front one End of the section is already in the foot area of the climb located. As a result, the cable does not get into the concave transition area at the bottom of the rise in Mountain Road.
Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist mit großem Vorteil bei Belustigungsvorrichtungen aller Art anstelle der vorbekannten Aufzughilfen einsetzbar. Dabei läßt die Erfindung größere Höhenunterschiede und steilere Steigungswinkel sowie höhere Fördergeschwindigkeiten zu.The object of the invention is very advantageous All kinds of amusement devices instead of known elevator aids can be used. The leaves Invention greater height differences and steeper Pitch angle as well as higher conveying speeds.
Fördervorrichtungen nach der Erfindung sind aber auch in anderen Fachgebieten, beispielsweise in der industriellen Fördertechnik, einsetzbar, wo es darum geht, schienengebundene Fahrzeuge an bestimmten Stellen aus dem Stillstand zu beschleunigen oder über Anstiege hinwegzubewegen.Conveyors according to the invention are also in other fields, for example in industrial Conveyor technology, can be used when it comes to rail-bound vehicles at certain points from the Accelerate standstill or over climbs away move.
Es ist zwar durch die US-A-1,084,390 eine Belustigungsvorrichtung bekannt, bei der ein Fahrzeug längs einer nach oben offenen U-förmigen Strecke gleich einer Schaukelbewegung hin- und herbewegt wird. An einem längs eines Schenkels gleitenden konkaven Abschnitt eines endlosen Seilzuges ist ein Mitnehmer befestigt, der das Fahrzeug bis zur obersten Stelle dieses Schenkels mitnimmt und dort durch Ausklinkung zur Abfahrt freigibt. Hierbei schabt das Seil am Metallprofil des Schenkels entlang und bedarf daher eines erheblichen Schmiermitteleinsatzes.While it is a by US-A-1,084,390 Amusement device known in which a vehicle along an open U-shaped path is rocking back and forth. On one concave portion of one sliding along one leg endless cable is attached to a driver that the Vehicle takes to the top of this leg and release there for departure. in this connection scrapes the rope along the metal profile of the leg and therefore requires considerable use of lubricants.
Im Gegensatz hierzu wird bei der Erfindung eine konkave Führung des Seilzuges im Bereich des ansteigenden Abschnitts gänzlich vermieden, so dass der Seilzug entweder linear oder konvex über Führungsrollen geführt werden kann.In contrast, the invention becomes a concave Guiding the cable in the area of the rising Section entirely avoided, so the cable pull guided either linearly or convexly over guide rollers can be.
In den Unteransprüchen sind zahlreiche Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbart.Numerous configurations of the Invention disclosed.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Seilzug mit seinen beiden Enden mit dem vorderen Ende des Kettenabschnittes verbunden. Auf diese Weise wird der Kettenabschnitt bei Aufwärtsbewegung gezogen und bei Rückwärtsbewegung geschoben. The cable pull with its two ends is advantageous connected to the front end of the chain section. On this way the chain section becomes upward pulled and pushed when moving backwards.
Im Rahmen eines Ausführungsbeispieles besteht der einzelne Abschnitt aus nur wenigen Kettengliedern, die über Führungsrollen in einer eigenen, längs der Schienen sich erstreckenden Führung geführt sind. Erfindungsgemäß bilden der Kettenabschnitt und der Seilzug eine über ein Seilantriebsaggregat, z. B. eine Winde oder ein Adhäsivantrieb, geführte getriebene Förderstrecke.In the context of an exemplary embodiment, the individual exists Section of just a few chain links that over Guide rollers in their own, along the rails themselves extending leadership are guided. Form according to the invention the chain section and the cable pull one over one Rope drive unit, e.g. B. a winch or a Adhesive drive, guided driven conveyor line.
Anstelle von Kettengliedern können aber auch andere Schlepphilfen, z. B. Stangen mit Führungsrollen oder dergleichen, verwendet werden.Instead of chain links, others can Towing aids, e.g. B. rods with guide rollers or the like can be used.
Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung besteht darin, daß eine Umlenkrolle für den Seilzug sich am Fuß des Anstiegs der Bergstrecke befindet, derart, daß der Seilzug vom Umfang der Umlenkrolle linear über das vorauslaufende Ende des Abschnittes ansteigt. Auf diese Weise kann der Seilzug leicht geführt werden, weil er oberhalb der Umlenkrolle nur konvexen und keinen konkaven Krümmungen ausgesetzt ist.Another embodiment of the invention exists in that a pulley for the cable is at the foot the rise of the mountain route is such that the Cable pull from the circumference of the deflection roller linearly over the leading end of the section increases. To this Way, the cable can be easily guided because it Above the pulley only convex and not concave Is exposed to curvatures.
Der Abschnitt braucht nur so lang zu sein, daß sein rückwärtiges Ende unter das in Horizontallage befindliche Fahrzeug geschoben werden kann. Um das Fahrzeug eine Bergstrecke aufwärts zu bewegen, braucht dieses lediglich mit dem Abschnitt über einen Kettenhaken in Verbindung gebracht zu werden, was an sich bekannt ist, woraufhin der Seilzug den Abschnitt so weit aufwärts bewegt, bis das mitgeschleppte Fahrzeug über den Scheitelpunkt der Bergstrecke hinweggelangt und von dort aus eigenem Schwung voranbewegbar ist. Sobald sich das Fahrzeug vom Abschnitt gelöst hat, wird dieser durch Umkehr des Seilzugantriebes wieder in die Ausgangsposition zurückgeschoben, um dort das nächste Fahrzeug aufzunehmen. The section only needs to be as long as that rear end below that in the horizontal position Vehicle can be pushed. To the vehicle one It only needs to move the mountain route upwards connected to the section via a chain hook to be brought what is known per se, whereupon the Cable up the section so far moves until the vehicle being carried over the Peak of the mountain route and from there can be moved forward on one's own initiative. As soon as that Has detached vehicle from the section, this is by Reversal of the cable drive back to the starting position pushed back to pick up the next vehicle there.
Daraus ist ersichtlich, daß solche verhältnismäßig kurzen Abschnitte an beliebiger Stelle der Fahrbahnstrecke angeordnet werden können, beispielsweise auch auf ebenen Strecken.From this it can be seen that such are relatively short Sections at any point on the carriageway can be arranged, for example on levels Stretch.
Es erweist sich als vorteilhaft, wenn das einzelne Kettenglied des Abschnittes die gleiche Länge wie der Achsabstand der Laufräder des Fahrzeuges besitzt. Auf diese Weise gelingt es, das einzelne Kettenglied immer parallel und in gleichem Abstand zum Fahrzeug zu führen, ohne daß starke Krümmungen der Fahrbahn sich auswirken können.It turns out to be beneficial if the individual Chain link of the section the same length as that Has center distance of the wheels of the vehicle. On this way, the single chain link always succeeds to run parallel and at the same distance from the vehicle, without severe curvature of the road can.
Der Abstand der Seilrollen ist bei gekrümmtem
Streckenverlauf wesentlich kleiner als bei geradem
Streckenverlauf. Dadurch wird die Seilablenkung verringert
und somit der Seilverschleiß wesentlich reduziert.
#The distance between the pulleys is much smaller when the route is curved than when the route is straight. This reduces rope deflection and thus significantly reduces rope wear.

Um die Länge des einzelnen Seilzuges so gering wie möglich zu halten, sieht die Erfindung vor, daß sich der Seilzug nach Überwinden der Bergstrecke von der Führung löst und zum Seilantriebsaggregat zurückgeführt ist. Dieses kann drehrichtungsumkehrbar ausgebildet sein, um mit einem einzigen Seilzug die Vor- und Rückwärtsbewegung des Kettenabschnittes zu ermöglichen. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete und gegensinnig antreibbare Seilzüge zu verwenden, die jeweils einem eigenen Seilantriebsaggregat zugeordnet sind.To keep the length of the individual cable as small as possible to keep, the invention provides that the cable after overcoming the mountain route from the guide and is returned to the cable drive unit. This can reversible to be designed with a single cable pull the forward and backward movement of the Allow chain section. However, it is also possible two and arranged parallel to each other oppositely drivable cables to use, each are assigned to their own cable drive unit.
Die konstruktive Ausbildung der Ketten- und Seilzugführung ergibt sich in einem Ausführungsbeispiel aus den Unteransprüchen 11 und 12 sowie aus der Beschreibung. The constructive design of the chain and cable guide results in one embodiment from the Subclaims 11 and 12 and from the description.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 ist ein Teil einer Fahrbahn (1) in Seitenansicht gezeigt, auf der schienengebundene Fahrzeuge (2) mit Hilfe von Laufrädern (3) geführt werden. An eine ebene Talstrecke (7) schließt sich eine Bergstrecke (5) und eine stark gekrümmte obere Fahrbahnstrecke (4) an, die in eine Gefällestrecke (6) übergeht. Die Streckenführung kann beliebig gewählt werden.In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, part of a Roadway (1) shown in side view, on the rail-bound vehicles (2) with the help of wheels (3) be performed. Closes on a flat valley route (7) a mountain route (5) and a strongly curved upper one Road section (4) on a slope (6) transforms. The route can be chosen arbitrarily become.
Parallel zur Fahrbahn (1), welche durch Schienen (23) (vergleiche Figur 2) gebildet ist, wird ein endlicher Kettenabschnitt (8) zwangsweise in einer ortsfesten Führung (13) geführt. Das vordere Ende (34) des Kettenabschnittes (8) ist mit dem vorderen und rückwärtigen Ende (35, 36) eines Seilzuges (9) verbunden. Dieser Seilzug wird vom Fuß der Bergstrecke (5) parallel zur Fahrbahn (1) bis etwa zum Wendepunkt (18) der Gefällstrecke (6) geführt, um sich dort von der Fahrbahn (1) zu lösen und zu einem Seilantriebsaggregat (15) zu führen. Über Umlenkrollen und eine Spanneinrichtung (16) führt der Seilzug wieder zum vorauslaufenden Ende (34) des endlichen Kettenabschnittes (8). Wenn die Antriebswelle des Antriebsaggregats (15) in Uhrzeigerrichtung angetrieben wird, zieht der Seilzug (9) den Kettenabschnitt (8) die Bergstrecke (5) hoch und über den Scheitel der gekrümmten Fahrbahnstrecke (4) hinweg bis zu einer Stelle, wo sich das Fahrzeug (2) vom Kettenabschnitt (8) lösen kann. Aus dieser oberen Stellung des Kettenabschnittes (8) wird dieser dadurch wieder zurückbewegt, daß das Seilantriebsaggregat (15) nun entgegen der Uhrzeigerrichtung angetrieben wird. Dabei wird der Kettenabschnitt (8) durch seine Führung (13) in die Ausgangslage zurückgeschoben, während das vordere Ende (36) des Seilzuges (9) am vorauslaufenden Ende (34) des Kettengliedes (26) zurückzieht.Parallel to the carriageway (1), which is supported by rails (23) (see Figure 2) is formed, a finite Chain section (8) forcibly in a stationary Leadership (13) led. The front end (34) of the Chain section (8) is with the front and rear end (35, 36) of a cable (9) connected. This cable pull is parallel from the foot of the mountain route (5) to the roadway (1) to about the turning point (18) of the Slope (6) led to get there from the road (1) to solve and to a cable drive unit (15) to lead. Via deflection rollers and a tensioning device (16) the cable again leads to the leading end (34) of the finite chain section (8). If the drive shaft the drive unit (15) clockwise is driven, the cable pull (9) pulls the Chain section (8) up the mountain route (5) and over the Vertex of the curved road section (4) up to a place where the vehicle (2) is from the chain section (8) can solve. From this upper position of the Chain section (8) this is again moved back that the cable drive unit (15) now is driven counterclockwise. there the chain section (8) through its guide (13) in the starting position is pushed back while the front end (36) of the cable (9) at the leading end (34) of the Chain link (26) withdraws.
Es ist auch möglich, zwei voneinander unabhängige und gegensinnig antreibbare Seilzüge (9) mit dem vorauslaufenden Ende (34) des Kettenabschnittes (8) zu verbinden.It is also possible to have two independent and cable drives (9) which can be driven in opposite directions with the leading end (34) of the chain section (8) connect.
Wesentlich ist die Lage der Umlenkrolle (17) am Fuß der Bergstrecke (5). Dadurch wird das vordere Ende (36) des Seilzuges (9) fluchtend zur Bergstrecke (5) bis zum vorderen Ende (10) des Kettenabschnittes (8) geführt und die Führung des Seilzuges (9) längs einer konkaven Krümmung vermieden.The position of the deflection roller (17) at the foot of the Mountain route (5). This will cause the front end (36) of the Cable (9) aligned to the mountain route (5) to front end (10) of the chain section (8) and guiding the cable (9) along a concave Avoided curvature.
Die Führung für den einzelnen Kettenabschnitt (8) ergibt sich beispielsweise aus dem Querschnitt gemäß Figur 2.The guide for the individual chain section (8) results for example from the cross section according to FIG. 2.
Damit die einzelnen Kettenglieder (26) des Kettenabschnittes (8) immer parallel zum Fahrzeug (2)-auch in den stark gekrümmten Abschnitten (4) - geführt werden, wird der Kettenabschnitt (8) so dimensioniert, daß die Länge (12) eines Kettengliedes (26) gleich groß ist dem Abstand (11) der Achsen (3) der Fahrzeuge. Aus Figur 1 sieht man, daß die Seilrollen (14) zur Führung des Seilzuges (9) entlang von geradlinigen Fahrbahnstrecken (5) einen größeren Abstand voneinander als im Bereich gekrümmter Fahrbahnstrecken (4) besitzen. Bei stark gekrümmten Fahrbahnstrecken (4) empfiehlt sich sogar ein minimaler Abstand der Seilrollen (14), um den Seilverschleiß so gering wie möglich zu halten.So that the individual chain links (26) of the Chain section (8) always parallel to the vehicle (2) -also in the strongly curved sections (4) - out are, the chain section (8) is dimensioned so that the length (12) of a chain link (26) is the same size the distance (11) of the axles (3) of the vehicles. From Figure 1 you can see that the pulleys (14) for guiding the Cable (9) along straight-line carriageways (5) a greater distance apart than in the area possess curved road sections (4). With strong curved road sections (4) is even recommended minimum distance of the rope pulleys (14) to the To keep rope wear as low as possible.
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 ist dargestellt, wie ein endlicher Kettenabschnitt (8) längs der Fahrbahn (1) geführt werden kann. Die Fahrbahn weist in üblicher Weise zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete Schienen (22,23) auf, die über Streben (25) mit einem zentralen, längs der Fahrbahn (1) sich erstreckenden Tragrohr (24) in üblicher Weise verbunden sind. Von den Schienen (22,23) erstrecken sich Quertraversen (32,33) bis zu U-förmigen Führungsprofilen (20,21), deren Hohlräume einander zugekehrt sind. In diesen Führungsprofilen (20,21) sind Führungsrollen (29,30) beweglich, die jeweils am Anfang und am Ende eines einzelnen Kettengliedes (26) angeordnet sind. Das einzelne Kettenglied (26) besteht aus zwei parallel zueinander mit Abstand angeordneten Leisten (27,28), zwischen denen ein Abstand vorhanden ist, der zum Eingreifen des Kettenhakens (19) benötigt wird. Dieser Kettenhaken (19) wirkt mit den Achsen (37) der Führungsrollen (29,30) zusammen.In the embodiment of Figure 2 is shown how a finite chain section (8) along the roadway (1) can be performed. The roadway shows in the usual way two rails (22, 23) arranged parallel to one another, the struts (25) with a central, along the Roadway (1) extending support tube (24) in the usual Way connected. Extend from the rails (22, 23) crossbeams (32, 33) up to U-shaped guide profiles (20,21), the cavities of which face each other. In these guide profiles (20, 21) are guide roles (29,30) movable, each at the beginning and at the end of a individual chain link (26) are arranged. The individual Chain link (26) consists of two parallel to each other Spaced strips (27, 28) between which a There is clearance to engage the chain hook (19) is required. This chain hook (19) works with the Axes (37) of the guide rollers (29,30) together.
Dicht unterhalb der Leisten (27,28) wird im Bereich des Abstandes zwischen ihnen der Seilzug (9) geführt. Beim Beispiel der Figur 2 ist angedeutet, daß im Tragrohr (24) Seilrollen (14) über Achsen (31) drehbar gelagert sind. Die Führung des Seilzuges (9) kann auch auf andere Weise gelöst werden. Die Aufrechterhaltung der Parallelität der Seilzugführung (9) zur Kettengliedführung (13) ist zweckmäßig. Just below the strips (27, 28) is in the area of Distance between them the cable (9) out. At the Example of Figure 2 is indicated that in the support tube (24) Rope pulleys (14) are rotatably mounted on axes (31). The cable (9) can also be guided in other ways be solved. Maintaining the parallelism of the Cable guide (9) for chain link guide (13) appropriate.
In Figur 3 ist in Draufsicht ein einzelnes Kettenglied (26) gezeigt. Das jeweils vordere Kettenglied (26) weist im Bereiche seines vorauslaufenden Endes (34) eine Verbindung mit dem rückwärtigen Ende (35) sowie dem vorderen Ende (36) des Seilzuges auf. Wird der Seilzug (9) in Pfeilrichtung bewegt, dann erfolgt eine Aufwärtsbewegung des endlichen Kettenabschnittes (8) längs der Bergstrecke (5). Wird der Seilzug (9) in umgekehrter Richtung bewegt, dann wird der endliche Kettenabschnitt (8) in die Ausgangsstellung zurückgeschoben. Man erkennt aus Figur 3 auch die parallel und im Abstand zueinander sich erstreckende Anordnung der Leisten (27, 28) des einzelnen Kettengliedes (26) und die Führung des Seilzuges (9) zwischen diesen Leisten (27, 28).In Figure 3 is a single chain link in plan view (26) shown. The front chain link (26) has in the area of its leading end (34) one Connection with the rear end (35) and the front end (36) of the cable. If the cable (9) moved in the direction of the arrow, then one Upward movement of the finite chain section (8) lengthways the mountain route (5). The cable (9) is reversed Direction moves, then the finite chain section (8) pushed back into the starting position. One recognises from Figure 3 also the parallel and at a distance from each other extending arrangement of the strips (27, 28) of the individual chain link (26) and the guidance of the cable (9) between these strips (27, 28).
In Figur 4 ist dargestellt, wie der einzelne Kettenhaken (19) des Fahrzeuges (2) auf die Achse (37) einer der Führungsrollen (29,30) einwirkt. Der Kettenhaken (19) ist um das Schwenklager (38) drehbar geführt und fällt durch Schwerkraft oder eine Feder von selbst in die Achse (37) des Kettengliedes (26) ein.In Figure 4 it is shown how the individual chain hook (19) of the vehicle (2) on the axis (37) one of the Guide rollers (29.30) acts. The chain hook (19) is rotated around the pivot bearing (38) and falls through Gravity or a spring by itself in the axis (37) the chain link (26).
Aus Figur 1 erkennt man, daß der Kettenhaken (19) am mittleren Fahrzeug (2) eines Fahrzeugzuges angeordnet ist. Dadurch werden die Kupplungen der Fahrzeuge weniger belastet, weil die Hälfte des Fahrzeugzuges geschoben und nur die andere Hälfte des Fahrzeugzuges gezogen wird. From Figure 1 it can be seen that the chain hook (19) on middle vehicle (2) of a vehicle train is arranged. This reduces the number of vehicle clutches burdened because half of the vehicle train is pushed and only the other half of the vehicle train is pulled.
