Derartige Fahrantriebe sind in vielfältiger Form und Ausführung bekannt und gebräuchlich. Zumeist ist an einem Rand eines Bühnenelementes ein Motorelement od. dgl. angeschlossen, um das Bühnenelement zu bewegen bzw. anzutreiben. Nachteilig daran ist, dass herkömmliche Räder oder Kugeln eine Punktberührung zu einer Bühne, insbesondere zu einem beliebigen Untergrund aufweisen. Ein derartiges Bühnenelement abgestützt mit Rädern ist nicht standsicher und wackelt bzw. schwingt während dem Verfahren auf einem Untergrund bzw. auf einer Bühne.Such traction drives are known in many forms and designs and in use. In most cases, a motor element or the like is connected to an edge of a stage element in order to move or drive the stage element. The disadvantage of this is that conventional wheels or balls have a point contact with a stage, in particular to any surface. Such a stage element supported with wheels is not stable and wobbles or oscillates during the process on a surface or on a stage.

Die herkömmlichen Fahrantriebe für Bühnenelemente lassen zu dem nur ein beschränktes Verfahren des Bühnenelementes in der einen oder anderen Richtung zu, was nachteilig ist. Ein Verfahren der Bühnenelemente während einer Vorstellung ist daher nicht möglich.The conventional traction drives for stage elements allow for only a limited process of the stage element in one direction or the other, which is disadvantageous. A process of the stage elements during a performance is therefore not possible.

Die DE 30 15 384 A1 zeigt eine Theaterbühne mit einem Bühnenwagen mit einem Fahrantrieb gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Das Fahrwerk des Bühnenwagens ist über einen Elektromotor antreibbar, wobei das Fahrwerk über eine aufwendige Konstruktion mittels eines Hubzylinders heb- und senkbar ist.DE 30 15 384 A1 shows a theater stage with a stage wagon with a traction drive according to the preamble of claim 1. The chassis of the stage wagon is driven by an electric motor, the chassis can be raised and lowered by means of a lifting cylinder over a complex construction.

Die US 4,127,182 offenbart ein Transportsystem für automatisch gesteuerte motorbetriebene Transportwagen, wobei innerhalb des Transportwagens zwei der Räder des Transportwagens mit eigenen Lenk- und Antriebselementen vorgesehen sind.The US 4,127,182 discloses a transport system for automatically controlled motor-driven trolley, within the trolley two of the wheels of the trolley are provided with their own steering and drive elements.

Die US 5,823,804 beschreibt einen ähnlichen Transportwagen, welcher über eigene angetriebene bzw. lenkbare Rollen verfügt.The US 5,823,804 describes a similar trolley, which has its own driven or steerable rollers.

Aus der DE 298 13 512 U1 ist ein Fahrwerk für eine Sehiebetribüne aufgezeigt, bei welchem die Lagerung der Rollen faderalastioch und vorgespannt über eine Gasdruckfeder erfolgt.From DE 298 13 512 U1 a landing gear for a Sehiebetribüne is shown, in which the storage of the rollers faderalastioch and biased via a gas spring.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Fahrantrieb für ein Bühnenelement zu schaffen, welcher die genannten Nachteile beseitigt, und mit welchem auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise die Standsicherheit des Bühnenelementes, auch beim verfahren wesentlich erhöht werden soll. Zusätzlich soll ein unabhängiges Bewegen des Bühnenelementes auf einem Untergrund, insbesondere auf einer Bühne gewährleisren sein.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a drive for a stage element, which eliminates the disadvantages mentioned, and with which in a simple and cost-effective manner, the stability of the stage element, also significantly increased in the process shall be. In addition, an independent movement of the stage element on a substrate, in particular on a stage should be guarantor.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist einem Bühnenelement, einem Flurfahrzeug oder einer beweglichen Plattform zumindest ein Fahrantrieb, vorzugsweise eine Mehrzahl von Fahrantrieben zugeordnet. Vorzugsweise sind die Fahrantriebe in Eckbereichen eines Bodenbereiches angeordnet. Der Fahrantrieb selbst weist ein Element auf, welches vorzugsweise walzenartig ausgebildet ist. Dieses Element ist aktiv über ein Motorelement antreibbar, und lässt sich gegen einen Untergrund verfahren, um das Bühnenelement anzuheben oder es wieder auf den Untergrund abzusetzen.In the present invention, at least one travel drive, preferably a plurality of travel drives, is associated with a stage element, a ground vehicle or a mobile platform. Preferably, the travel drives are arranged in corner regions of a floor area. The drive itself has an element, which is preferably formed like a roller. This element is actively drivable via a motor element, and can be moved against a substrate to lift the stage element or put it back on the ground.

Gleichzeitig ist dieses Element bzw. dessen Gehäuse um eine senkrechte Achse mittels eines weiteren Motorelementes verdrehbar gelagert, so dass durch entsprechende Stellung des Elementes bzw. des Fahrantriebes das Bühnenelement in beliebige Richtungen und Bewegungsabläufen auf einem Untergrund bewegt werden kann.At the same time, this element or its housing is about a vertical axis by means of another motor element rotatably mounted so that the stage element can be moved in any direction and movements on a surface by appropriate position of the element or the traction drive.

Beim Verfahren des Bühnenelementes oder des Flurfahrzeuges oder einer beweglichen Plattform gegenüber dem Untergrund sind die Elemente ausgefahren, so dass der Bodenbereich des Bühnenelementes vom Untergrund abgehoben ist. Durch die Ausbildung der Elemente als Walzenelemente besteht eine Linienberührung zwischen Element und Untergrund, so dass hierdurch die Standsicherheit beim Verfahren erhöht ist.When moving the stage element or the floor vehicle or a movable platform relative to the ground, the elements are extended, so that the bottom portion of the stage element is lifted from the ground. As a result of the design of the elements as roller elements, there is a line contact between the element and the substrate, so that in this way the stability in the method is increased.

Nach dem Verfahren des Bühnenelementes an einen gewünschten Ort, wird das Element eingezogen bzw. das Bühnenelement abgelassen und liegt mit seinem Bodenbereich standsicher auf einer Bühne bzw. dem Untergrund auf. Gegebenenfalls können im. Bodenbereich entsprechende Gummielemente, Gummiauflager od. dgl. vorgesehen sein, um die Standsicherheit zu erhöhen.After the stage element has been moved to a desired location, the element is pulled in or the stage element is lowered, and its bottom area rests securely on a stage or the ground. Optionally, in the. Floor area corresponding rubber elements, rubber pad od. Like. Be provided to increase the stability.

Bremsen od. dgl. sind nicht notwendig, so dass das Bühnenelement standsicher auf dem Untergrund aufsteht. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sich das Bühnenelement auch während einer Vorstellung verfahren lässt, wobei vorzugsweise drahtlos das Verfahren des Bühnenelementes gesteuert und geregelt werden kann. Hierzu sind jedem Bühnenelement eigene Energiequellen und Steuereinrichtungen zugeordnet, die die entsprechenden Motorelemente und die Steuereinrichtung speisen.Brakes od. Like. Are not necessary so that the stage element stands upright on the ground. This has the advantage that the stage element can also be moved during a performance, wherein preferably the method of the stage element can be controlled and regulated wirelessly. For this purpose, each stage element own energy sources and control devices are assigned, which feed the corresponding motor elements and the control device.

Hierdurch werden die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von entsprechenden Bühnenelementen erheblich erhöht, so dass mehrere Bühnenelemente mit mehreren integrierten Fahrantrieben gleichzeitig, gegeneinander ausgerichtet und steuerbar auch während einer Vorstellung im Bereich der Bühne bzw. eines Untergrundes verfahren werden können und an beliebigen Stellen standsicher abgesetzt werden können. Dabei können die Bühnenelemente, die Flurfahrzeuge oder bewegliche Plattformen um eigene Achsen, um beliebige Punkte verschwenken bzw. verfahren oder in linienartigen oder kreisenden Bewegungen gegenüber dem Untergrund verfahren bzw. bewegt werden, je nach Stellung des einzelnen Fahrantriebes. Vorzugsweise sind die einzelnen Fahrantriebe in Eckbereichen des Bühnenelementes angeordnet, wobei vorzugsweise in einem mittleren Bereich, nahe des Bodenbereiches die zumindest eine Energiequelle die zur Optimierung des Schwerpunktes vorgesehen sind. Doch ist die vorliegende Erfindung auf diese Anordnung nicht beschränkt.As a result, the applications of appropriate stage elements are significantly increased, so that several stage elements with multiple integrated traction drives simultaneously, against each other and aligned controllable even during a performance in the area of the stage or a substrate can be moved and can be sold safely at any point. The stage elements, the floor vehicles or moving platforms can be pivoted about their own axes, to arbitrary points or moved or moved in line-like or circular movements relative to the ground or moved, depending on the position of the individual drive.

Gemäss Figur 1 weist ein erfindungsgemässes Bühnenelement R einen Fahrantrieb F auf, welcher in eine Ausnehmung 1 des Bühnenelementes R eingesetzt ist. Im wesentlichen besteht der Fahrantrieb F aus einem Element 2, welches aktiv mittels eines hier nur angedeuteten und integrierten Motorelementes 3 um eine Achse B antreibbar ist, um, wie Figur 1 angedeutet, das Bühnenelement R in einer X-Richtung hin- und herzubewegen. Das Motorelement 3 treibt das Element 2, welches vorzugsweise als Antriebswalze, Antriebsrad oder Kugelrad ausgebildet sein kann, präzise und exakt an.According to FIG. 1, a stage element R according to the invention has a travel drive F, which is inserted into a recess 1 of the stage element R. Essentially, the travel drive F consists of an element 2 which can be actively driven about an axis B by means of a motor element 3, which is only indicated here and integrated, in order, as indicated in FIG. 1, to move the stage element R back and forth in an X direction. The motor element 3 drives the element 2, which may preferably be designed as a drive roller, drive wheel or ball wheel, precisely and accurately.

Das Element 2 sitzt in einem Gehäuse 4 in welchem ein zusätzliches Antriebselement 5 mit einem Hebelarm 6 vorgesehen ist, um das Element 2, insbesondere die Walze, welche zumindest über eine Traverse 7 im Gehäuse 4 schwenkbar gelagert ist, aus dem Gehäuse 4 gegen einen Untergrund 8 zu verschwenken. Das Antriebselement 5 treibt den Hebelarm 6 an, und verschwenkt das Element 2 in dargestellter Z-Richtung. Auf diese Weise lässt sich das Bühnenelement R vom Untergrund 8 abheben, so dass ein geringer Spalt S zwischen einem Bodenbereich 9 und dem Untergrund 8 entsteht. In dieser Lage lässt sich das Bühnenelement R, angetrieben über das Element 2, bewegen.The element 2 is seated in a housing 4 in which an additional drive element 5 is provided with a lever arm 6 to the element 2, in particular the roller, which is at least pivotally mounted in the housing 4 via a crossbar 7, from the housing 4 against a Underground 8 to pivot. The drive element 5 drives the lever arm 6, and pivots the element 2 in the illustrated Z-direction. In this way, the stage element R can be lifted off the ground 8, so that a small gap S is created between a bottom area 9 and the ground 8. In this position, the stage element R, driven by the element 2, can be moved.

Ferner ist das Gehäuse 4 über eine Welle 19 und Lager 10 gegenüber dem Bühnenelement R um eine Achse A verdrehbar gelagert, wobei zumindest ein Zahnradelement 11 der Welle 19 aufsitzt. In dieses greift ein Abtriebszahnrad 12 eines der Ausnehmung 1 oder dem Bühnenelement R zugeordneten weiteren Motorelementes 13 ein.Further, the housing 4 is rotatably supported about a shaft 19 and bearing 10 relative to the stage element R about an axis A, wherein at least one gear member 11 of the shaft 19 is seated. In this engages a driven gear 12 of the recess 1 or the stage element R associated further motor element 13 a.

Hierdurch lässt sich das Element 2 steuerbar und regelbar um die Achse A exakt und präzise verdrehen, so dass eine wählbare Richtung zum Bewegen, insbesondere zum Antreiben des Bühnenelementes R in X- und/oder Y-Richtung möglich ist.As a result, the element 2 can be controllably and controllably rotated about the axis A exactly and precisely, so that a selectable direction for moving, in particular for driving the stage element R in the X and / or Y direction is possible.

Ferner ist dem Bühnenelement R zumindest eine wiederaufladbare Energiequelle 14 zugeordnet, die mit einer Steuereinrichtung 15 in Verbindung steht. Über die Energiequelle 14 wird die Steuereinrichtung 15 Motorelemente 3 und 13 sowie die Antriebselement 5 gespeist. Dabei sind Motorelemente 3 und 13 sowie Antriebselement 5 über hier nur angedeutete Bussysteme miteinander verbunden bzw. über die Steuereinrichtung 15 ansteuerbar. Die Steuereinrichtung 15 erhält von extern von einer nicht bezifferten Zentrale die entsprechenden Steuersignale vorzugsweise drahtlos, um die einzelnen Fahrantriebe F in einem einzelnen Bühnenelement R einzeln auch unterschiedlich und auch separat anzusteuern.Furthermore, the stage element R is assigned at least one rechargeable energy source 14 which is connected to a control device 15. About the power source 14, the control device 15 motor elements 3 and 13 and the drive element 5 is fed. Motor elements 3 and 13 as well as drive element 5 are connected to one another via bus systems, which are only indicated here, or can be activated via the control device 15. The control device 15 receives externally from a non-quantified control center the corresponding control signals preferably wirelessly to drive the individual traction drives F in a single stage element R individually different and also separately.

Soll das Bühnenelement R verfahren werden, so fährt, wie es in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 2 in der Ruhelage aufgezeigt ist, das Element 2 aus dem Gehäuse 4 gegen dem Untergrund 8 aus und hebt geringfügig das Bühnenelement R, welches auf dem Untergrund 8 aufsteht, so dass ein Spalt S im Bodenbereich 9 entsteht. Dann lässt sich über die jeweilige Ansteuerung der Achse A des Fahrantriebes F das Element 2 je nach gewünschter Bewegungsrichtung des Bühnenelementes R gegenüber dem Untergrund 8 beliebig in Richtung und Geschwindigkeit bewegen. Dabei können eine Mehrzahl von Fahrantriebe F in einem Bühnenelement, im Bodenbereich 9 vorgesehen sein, so dass sich das Bühnenelement R beliebig in einer X- und/oder Y-Richtung, siehe Figur 3, gegenüber dem Untergrund 8 bewegen lässt. Dabei kann das Bühnenelement R selbst um beliebig wählbar Punkte P1 bis P3 verfahren werden, auf der Stelle drehen, kann um bestimmte wählbare Punkte verfahren, kann in Kurvenbahnen und in beliebigen Bewegungen seitlich, kurvenartig oder sonst wie auf dem Untergrund 8, insbesondere einer Bühne verfahren werden.If the stage element R is to be moved, then, as is shown in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 in the rest position, the element 2 leaves the housing 4 against the background 8 and slightly lifts the stage element R, which rests on the base 8, so that a gap S in the bottom area 9 is formed. Then can be about the respective control of the axis A of the traction drive F, the element 2 depending on the desired direction of movement of the stage element R relative to the ground 8 move arbitrarily in the direction and speed. In this case, a plurality of travel drives F can be provided in a stage element, in the bottom area 9, so that the stage element R can be moved arbitrarily in an X and / or Y direction, see FIG. 3, relative to the ground 8. In this case, the stage element R itself can be moved to arbitrarily selectable points P 1 to P 3 , rotate on the spot, can move to certain selectable points, in curved paths and in any movements laterally, like a curve or otherwise as on the substrate 8, in particular one Be moved stage.

Ferner ist von Vorteil bei der vorliegenden Erfindung, dass durch Betätigen des Antriebselementes 5 mittels des Hebelarmes 6 die Traverse 7 und damit das Element 2 in das Gehäuse 4 einfahrbar ist, so dass sich das Bühnenelement R auf dem Untergrund 8 abstellen lässt. Hierdurch liegt das Bühnenelement R vollständig, insbesondere im Bodenbereich 9 auf dem Untergrund 8 auf, und ist auf diese Weise sicher und präzise aufgestellt. Dabei können im Bodenbereich 9 entsprechende, hier nicht dargestellte Gummilager, od. dgl. vorgesehen sein, um eine hohe Standfestigkeit des Bühnenelementes R auf dem Untergrund 8, insbesondere auf der Bühne zu gewährleisten.It is also advantageous in the present invention that by operating the drive element 5 by means of the lever arm 6, the cross member 7 and thus the element 2 in the housing 4 is retractable, so that the stage element R can park on the substrate 8. As a result, the stage element R is completely, in particular in the bottom region 9 on the substrate 8, and is placed in this way safely and accurately. Here, in the bottom region 9 corresponding, not shown rubber bearings, od. Like. Be provided to ensure a high stability of the stage element R on the ground 8, in particular on the stage.

Ferner hat sich vorteilhaft bei der vorliegenden Erfindung erwiesen, die Elemente 2 als Walzenelemente auszubilden, so dass eine grosse Linienberührung zum Untergrund 8 erfolgt, dies führt ebenfalls zu einer hohen Standfestigkeit, auch im Betrieb, insbesondere auch während des Bewegen des Bühnenelementes R bzw. während einer Vorstellung.Furthermore, it has proved advantageous in the present invention to form the elements 2 as roller elements, so that a large line contact to the substrate 8, this also leads to a high stability, even during operation, especially during movement of the stage element R or during an idea.

Insbesondere durch das Absenken des Bühnenelementes R auf den Untergrund 8, ist eine grosse Auflagefläche bzw. Standfläche des Bühnenelementes R realisiert, so dass eine Standsicherheit erhöht ist. Keine zusätzlichen Bremsen sind am Bühnenelement erforderlich, wobei kein Spiel besteht um bspw. das Bühnenelement R zu bewegen oder in Schwingung zu versetzen.In particular, by lowering the stage element R on the substrate 8, a large bearing surface or floor space of the stage element R is realized, so that a stability is increased. No additional brakes are required on the stage element, where there is no play to move or vibrate the stage element R, for example.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung hat sich auch als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn eine Mehrzahl von Fahrantrieben F, wie es insbesondere in Figur 3 dargestellt ist, in Eckbereichen 16 vorgesehen sind, wobei bspw. in einem Mittelbereich 17 die Energiequelle 14 und/oder Steuereinrichtung 15 vorgesehen sind. Diese dienen ebenfalls zur Optimierung eines Schwerpunktes des Bühnenelementes R. Dabei soll ebenfalls im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung liegen, dass bspw. Verbindungselemente 18 in Seitenwänden 20 des Bühnenelementes R vorgesehen sein können, die dem Andocken weiteren Bühnenelementen dienen können.
