Definitions

  • the invention relates to a railway system for the game operation according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the DE 202004003658 U1 describes a system with freely steerable vehicles which are remotely controlled, so that a realism is achieved, however, it is disadvantageous that the driving requires much skill and practice to steer the vehicles without any guidance at a realistic speed on a model plant.
  • the GB 784805 describes a vehicle that is controlled by a magnet via a wire in the roadway.
  • a mechanical or electromagnetic servo mechanism provides supportive forces.
  • the US 3206891 also describes a vehicle that is steered by a magnet along a wire.
  • the drive takes place here in direct engagement with the provided with transverse grooves roadway via a vibrating magnet which is energized by a coil in the road so that the vehicle does not require active drive.
  • an electromagnetic actuator is provided which is also excited via the lane coil at a different AC frequency, thus allowing direct remote control along a lane, including the change to a nearby second lane coil .
  • required excitation coils in the road are, however, very complicated and prone to failure, since a sufficiently large for a game operation railway system should be put together from several track elements together.
  • an operation of such a system with multiple individually controllable vehicles is not possible because driving on the same lane vehicles are not independently steered and driven at different speeds.
  • the US 3,083,619 describes a railway system, each of which a road assigned vehicles are guided by a magnet along a wire in the road.
  • electrical conductors are provided in the carriageway, from which the vehicles can take power via sliding contacts. Changing the lane is not possible.
  • Fig.1 and Fig.2 three guide tracks 2 are provided in the lane 1 at the same distance from each other, so that a vehicle 13 guided for example by the inner lane can be overtaken on the outer lane.
  • the roadway can have any number of intersecting and also guide tracks to make similarity with a road.
  • the guide tracks 2 each consist of a metal wire or metal band enclosed in the roadway 1, so that they can guide the vehicle by magnetic coupling with a guide magnet 4 provided on the vehicle 13. Since the magnetic coupling can be carried out with distance or without contact in order to avoid frictional resistances, the guide tracks 2 are preferably hidden invisibly under the road surface, as long as they are not used for the power supply.
  • the guide magnet 4 following the guide track 2 acts mechanically on a steering gear designed as a steering trapezoid 3.
  • a steering gear designed as a steering trapezoid 3.
  • it is attached to the outer end of a handlebar 8, which acts via a firmly connected to it steering shaft 10 on an arm 14 of an angled, two-armed control lever 9 and on this by means of a lower pivot pin 12 on the tie rod 15 of the steering trapezoid 3.
  • the vehicles 13 each have a remote-controlled, electromechanical actuator 5 with a control rod 6, which acts on the other arm 16 of the angled two-armed control lever 9 and thus also the tie rod 15 can adjust.
  • the also acting on the angled, two-armed lever 9 control rod 6 does not have to follow the predetermined by the guide track 2 on the guide magnet 4 steering movements of the control lever 9 is between an upper, provided on the angled lever 9 steering pin 11 and the control rod 6 sufficient, provided free control area, which is formed by a correspondingly sized recess 17 of the control rod 6.
  • the actuator 5 can overcome the force of the magnetic coupling between the guide magnet 4 and the guide track 2 forming ferromagnetic strip or wire due to the control signal of a remote control, he has a sufficient force for this purpose, which can be achieved by a transmission gear in the manner of a servo drive.
  • means may also be provided to lift the guide magnet 4 during the arbitrary steering movement by means of the actuator 5, so that the magnetic adhesion of the preferably designed as a permanent magnet guide magnet is at least weakened.
  • the force required for an arbitrary steering movement can also be reduced by virtue of the fact that the ferromagnetic guide track 2 regularly has consecutive interruptions 27, as described in US Pat Figure 9 are shown by way of example. Consequently, the magnetic coupling with the guide track 2 is interrupted periodically while driving, so that a much lower steering force is sufficient for a lane change.
  • the guide track following Magnet only serves as a signal generator for its relative movement to the vehicle and any steering movement is performed by a common actuator which is controlled or regulated both by the signal of such a magnetic signal transmitter, as well as, in the case of human intervention, by the signal of a remote control.
  • the remote control can be designed in different variants, eg radio, infrared, contact rails or ultrasound.
  • the US 3314189 describes a remote control through different wavelengths of light as well as the supply of electricity through alternating contacts in the road and the DE 2919933 describes a remote control by radio signals. However, both differ from the invention described herein by a firm coupling of the steering and the absence of a magnetic guide.
  • Fig. 10 is one of the required for a power supply via sliding contacts 23,24 electrical contact tracks formed by the guide track 21 of the magnetic roadway coupling and required for the power supply second contact track 22 for one of the sliding contacts 23 is additionally provided in parallel extending and consists of a non-magnetically active metal such as eg copper.
  • FIG. 11 Another embodiment with power supply via sliding contacts 28,29, at the same time the embodiment according to Figure 9 with regularly successive interruptions 27 of the guide track is used is schematically in Figure 11 shown.
  • each of the successive sections 25 and 26 of the electrical contact track at any time have different electrical potential, so that two in the track direction on the vehicle provided in succession Sliding contacts 28,29 for the power consumption of the lane 1 to a vehicle 13 are sufficient.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 Another embodiment which improves the response of the actuator upon engagement of the player is in FIGS. 12 and 13 shown.
  • the adjusting lever 33 is movably coupled without play with the steering linkage, whereby in an engagement of the player not only the free control area must be overcome.
  • a clutch 31 between the servo motor 30 and the actuating gear 32 is provided.
  • the clutch 31 is actuated, which mechanically couples these with the actuating gear 32 and thus also the adjusting lever 33.
  • the clutch 31 is released immediately, whereby the vehicle is again subject to the leadership of the magnetic guide track.
  • This clutch 31 can be designed either for explicit, eg electromagnetic actuation, which is addressed in addition to the servomotor 30 by the remote control, or as automatic, which responds by the movement of the servomotor 30.
  • Fig. 14 to 16 show a possible embodiment of an automatic mechanical coupling 31.
  • a pendulum disk 35 On the shaft 34 of the servo motor 30, a pendulum disk 35 is mounted with clearance. It is pressed by a spring 36 easily to a fixedly coupled to the motor shaft 37 disc. On the pendulum disc 37 two clutch pinion 38 are mounted. If the servo motor 30 at rest, the pendulum plate 35 is held by a further spring 39 in a neutral position. The force of the spring 39 is smaller than the pressing force of the spring 36, but greater than the force that is required to move the motor shaft in the de-energized state.
  • the spring 36 provides for the tilting of the pendulum disk 35, whereby, depending on the direction of rotation, one of the two clutch pinion 38 between the motor gear 41 and gear 40 is moved. Once it's over Engaging the gears comes, this is still supported by the engine power. When the engine 30 is turned off, the spring 39 causes the pendulum disc 35 to tilt back to the neutral position. In Fig. 14 to 16 gears are shown, however, friction wheels are also possible.
