Definitions
- the invention relates to an amusement device with the features in the preamble of the main claim.
- Such an amusement device in the manner of a roller coaster is known from DE-A-28 32 991 and DE-U-298 22 644.
- the vehicles are towed with a drive device, which is designed as a rotating chain drive, immediately after leaving the entry point via a climb to the highest elevation of the roller coaster and released there.
- the chain drive is relatively slow and slowly pulls the vehicle up.
- the rotating chain drives have drivers that engage the vehicles of the amusement device.
- the invention solves this problem with the features in the main claim.
- the amusement device is the
- Drive set-up designed as a catapult drive, which drives one or more vehicles with high acceleration and speed from a standing position or slow travel and preferably shoots into a free range.
- This high initial acceleration and speed offers a new attraction and experience for roller coasters, but also for other rides.
- Drive torque is transmitted and high accelerations are achieved so that the vehicles can reach speeds of over 50 m / sec and accelerations of over 2 g within a few seconds.
- the moving masses of vehicle and passengers can vary between a few hundred kilograms and several tons.
- the catapult drive is suitable for all types of amusement devices. There are special advantages for roller coasters, rollercoasters and similar rides.
- hydraulic motors as drive motors. They have the advantage that they have the enormous amount of time required
- the catapult drive can be designed as a rotary drive or as a winding or winch drive.
- a winding drive has some special advantages.
- the form-fitting connection of the drive or winding drum to the traction means can eliminate friction influences and friction dependencies.
- the wrap angle and the pretensioning forces can be smaller than in the case of a friction drive, with the traction means, preferably one or more traction cables, being protected more gently and holding longer.
- a multiple cable arrangement allows a smaller cross section of the individual pull cables. This results in a smaller drum diameter, which further increases the effectiveness of the catapult drive.
- Driving device and in particular to attach a towing vehicle, which engages with a movable driver hook on the vehicle to be accelerated.
- the preferred embodiment offers particular advantages in terms of simple construction and operational reliability.
- the traction means can be designed differently. Instead of a chain, a rope or belt is used, which is better suited for the extremely high accelerations and speeds as well as the resulting loads.
- a multiple cable arrangement or a wide-area traction means is advantageous here, which preferably consists of a plurality of cable strands lying parallel to one another and optionally connected to one another or of a belt, but alternatively can also be designed in a different way.
- the traction device consists of a material suitable for high loads. Compared to a chain, the traction device has the advantage that the lubrication requirement can be dispensed with, as a result of which the drag forces can be transmitted in a friction drive with a correspondingly higher coefficient of friction. This also leads to a substantial reduction in
- the traction device can be guided over one or more drive or deflection rollers without significantly affecting the service life.
