The lifting device is embodied as a revolving tower (3) fixed to the ground on whose exterior are duel running lifting platforms (4,5) to take the boats from the arrival point on the routeway, to lift them along the revolving tower and to deliver the boats at the departure point.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anheben von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Booten oder dergleichen, eines Fahrgeschäftes für Vergnügungszwecke nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for lifting vehicles, in particular boats or the like, a ride for amusement according to the preamble of claim 1.

Auf Vergnügungsplätzen findet man seit Jahrzehnten Achterbahnen, die schienengeführte Fahrzeuge aufweisen, die mittels eines Schrägaufzugs auf eine große Höhe gebracht werden und dann im Wesentlichen antriebslos allein durch Schwerkraft vorwärtsbewegt über eine vielfach verschlungene Bahn zum Ausgangspunkt zurückbewegt werden. Die Fahrzeuge können auf Ein- oder Zweispurbahnen laufen, wobei diese in der Regel Rollbahnen sind.On amusement grounds, roller coasters that include rail-guided vehicles that are brought to a high altitude by means of an inclined elevator and then moved forward essentially by no-load gravity alone, are moved back to the starting point via a multi-lane railway. The vehicles can run on single or double lanes, these are usually runways.

Es sind auch ähnliche Abfahrbahnen bekannt, bei denen die Fahrzeuge in U-förmigen Kanälen geführt werden, wodurch es auch möglich ist, Rutschbahnen oder Wasserbahnen mit ablaufenden Booten zu realisieren.There are also known downhill tracks, in which the vehicles are guided in U-shaped channels, whereby it is also possible to realize slides or water courses with running boats.

Aus der DE 101 60 039 ist eine Vergnügungsbahn zur Bewegung von Fahrzeugen entlang einer im Wesentlichen spurgeführten Bahn bekannt, die eine Hubvorrichtung zum Anheben der Fahrzeuge auf eine erhöhte Abfahrtshöhe enthält, bei der die Hubvorrichtung als schienengeführter Schrägaufzug ausgebildet ist und eine Trageeinrichtung aufweist, mit der die Fahrzeuge unter Beibehaltung ihrer horizontalen Orientierung von einem ersten Abschnitt der Bahn abnehmbar und auf einen erhöhten zweiten Bahnabschnitt abgehbar sind, der in horizontaler Richtung seitlich versetzt zum ersten Abschnitt der Bahn verläuft. Mit dieser Einrichtung ist es möglich, den Zulaufabschnitt der Bahn und den anschließenden Schrägaufzug unmittelbar parallel zum Abfahrtsabschnitt der Bahn anzuordnen. Allerdings erfordert ein Schrägaufzug eine relativ große Bodenfläche und der Schrägaufzug ist nicht für große Kapazitäten ausgelegt.From the DE 101 60 039 For example, there is known an amusement ride for moving vehicles along a substantially track-guided path, which includes a lifting device for lifting the vehicles to an elevated height, in which the lifting device is designed as a rail-guided inclined lift and has a carrying device with which the vehicles, while maintaining their horizontal Orientation of a first portion of the web are removable and can be walked on a raised second track portion which extends laterally offset in the horizontal direction to the first portion of the web. With this device, it is possible to arrange the feed section of the web and the subsequent inclined elevator directly parallel to the departure section of the web. However, an inclined elevator requires a relatively large floor area and the inclined elevator is not designed for large capacities.

Aus der DE 198 16 768 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von Achterbahnwagen oder ähnlichem für Fahrgeschäfte in die jeweilige Ausgangsposition für eine Fahrt bekannt, die als Liftanordnung mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten sich im Wesentlichen senkrecht erstreckenden Tragsäulen mit entsprechenden Laufschienen ausgebildet ist, wobei die Tragsäulen im oberen und unteren Bereich jeweils nur einen Hubrahmen aufnehmen können, während die Laufschienen im mittleren Bereich der Tragsäulen jeweils derart nach außen versetzt sind, dass in diesem Abschnitt zwei Hubrahmen in einander entgegengesetzter Fahrtrichtung gleichzeitig verfahrbar sind.From the DE 198 16 768 is a device for transporting roller coaster car or the like for rides in the respective starting position for a ride known as a lift assembly with two juxtaposed in the Substantially vertically extending support columns is formed with corresponding rails, the support columns in the upper and lower regions can each accommodate only one lifting frame, while the rails are offset in the central region of the support columns each outwardly such that in this section two lifting frame in opposite direction of travel can be moved simultaneously.

Dadurch ist der erforderliche Bodenbereich zwar verringert, aber die Liftanordnung gestaltet sich relativ kompliziert und störanfällig, während sie für den Benutzer der Bahn keinen zusätzlichen Reiz bietet.Although this reduces the floor area required, the lift arrangement is relatively complicated and prone to failure while offering no added attraction to the user of the track.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Anheben von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Booten oder dergleichen, anzugeben, bei der die verwendete Liftanordnung wenig Platzbedarf erfordert, die einfach aufgebaut ist und die dem Fahrgast bereits während der Auffahrt einen Vergnügungsreiz bietet.The invention has for its object to provide a device for lifting vehicles, especially boats or the like, in which the lift assembly used requires little space, which is simple and already offers the passenger during the driveway a pleasure attraction.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the invention defined in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Anheben von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Booten oder dergleichen, eines Fahrgeschäfts für Vergnügungszwecke geht aus von einer Vorrichtung, bei der die Fahrzeuge entlang einer Führungsbahn von einem erhöhten Abfahrtsort im Wesentlichen durch Schwerkraftbewegung zu einem Ankunftsort überführt werden, und die Fahrzeuge vom Ankunftsort zum Abfahrtsort entlang einer vertikal geführten Hubvorrichtung angehoben werden.The device according to the invention for lifting vehicles, in particular boats or the like, of a ride for amusement starts from a device in which the vehicles are transferred along a guideway from an elevated place of departure substantially by gravity movement to an arrival place, and the vehicles from the place of arrival to Departure be raised along a vertically guided lifting device.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Hubvorrichtung als bodenseitig drehbar gelagerter Drehturm ausgebildet, an dem insbesondere an dessen Außenseite paarweise parallel zueinander laufende Hubplattformen zur Aufnahme von Fahrzeugen vom Ankunftsort der Führungsbahn zum Anheben entlang des Drehturms und zur Abgabe der Fahrzeuge auf den Abfahrtsort angeordnet sind.According to the invention, the lifting device is designed as a rotatably mounted rotary tower on the bottom, are arranged in particular on its outer side in pairs parallel to each other lifting platforms for receiving vehicles from the arrival of the guideway for lifting along the turret and for delivering the vehicles to the departure.

Der erfindungsgemäß bodenseitig gelagerte Drehturm wird während der Auffahrt einer Hubplattform soweit um den erforderlichen Winkel gedreht, dass die Hubplattform am Abfahrtsort unmittelbar an die Führungsbahn anschließt, so dass die Fahrzeuge ohne Zeitverlust unmittelbar auf die Führungsbahn abgegeben werden können.The inventively mounted on the bottom side turret is rotated as far as the driveway of a lifting platform to the required angle that the Hubplattform at the departure directly to the track connects, so that the vehicles can be delivered directly to the track without loss of time.

Sofern es die Platzverhältnisse am Aufstellungsort der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erlauben, kann die Hubplattform während der Auffahrt auch über größere Winkel gedreht werden, z. B. mehr als 360°, d. h. eine spiralig verlaufende Auffahrtsbewegung vollziehen, so dass der Vergnügungsreiz bereits bei der Auffahrt eines Fahrzeuges bewirkt ist.If space permits at the site of the device according to the invention, the lifting platform can be rotated during the driveway over larger angles, z. B. more than 360 °, d. H. perform a spiraling upward movement, so that the pleasure of attraction is already effected in the driveway of a vehicle.

Aufgrund der paarweisen Anordnung der Hubplattformen bildet die jeweils andere Hubplattform, die sich bei der Auffahrt einer Hubplattform in der Abwärtsrichtung bewegt, ein Gegengewicht für die aufinrärtsfahrende Hubplattform, so dass der Energiebedarf zum Antrieb der Hubplattform gering ist.Due to the paired arrangement of the lifting platforms, the respective other lifting platform, which moves in the downward movement of a lifting platform in the downward direction, forms a counterweight for the upwardly traveling lifting platform, so that the energy required to drive the lifting platform is low.

Der Antrieb der Hubplattformen wird vorzugsweise durch eine Seilzugvorrichtung realisiert, bei der die Hubplattformen an einem über eine obere Rolle geführten Seil, ähnlich einem Paternoster-Fahrstuhl, aufgehängt sind.The drive of the lifting platforms is preferably realized by a cable pulling device in which the lifting platforms are suspended on a guided over an upper roller rope, similar to a paternoster elevator.

Als alternatives Antriebsmittel ist auch ein elektrischer, pneumatischer, hydraulischer oder Kettenzugantrieb einsetzbar. Auch ein Zahnradantrieb kann eingesetzt werden.As an alternative drive means also an electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or Kettenzugantrieb can be used. A gear drive can also be used.

Vorzugsweise werden die Hubplattformen synchron unter Gewichtsausgleich durch eine gegenüberliegende Hubplattform auf- und abwärtsbewegt.Preferably, the lifting platforms are moved up and down synchronously under weight balance by an opposing lifting platform.

Zur Überführung von am Ankunftsort ankommenden Fahrzeugen auf eine Hubplattform wird vorzugsweise ein Schräg-, insbesondere Bandförderer, verwendet, der bei Ausbildung der Einrichtung als Wasserbahn die Boote unterhalb der Wasserfläche aufnimmt und schräg nach oben aus dem Wasser herausbefördert. Von dem Bandförderer werden die Boote vorzugsweise unmittelbar auf eine Hubplattform überführt. Sie können am Ankunftsort zwischen Bandförderer und Hubplattform noch mittels eines Rollförderers im Wesentlichen horizontal bewegt werden. Am oberen Abfahrtsort werden die Boote vorzugsweise zwischen Hubplattform und Führungsbahn über eine Rollbahn geführt, um einen erleichterten Übergang zwischen Hubplattform und Führungsbahn zu ermöglichen.For the transfer of arriving at the arrival of vehicles on a lifting platform preferably an inclined, in particular belt conveyor is used, which absorbs the formation of the device as a waterway, the boats below the water surface and transported out obliquely upwards out of the water. From the belt conveyor, the boats are preferably transferred directly to a lifting platform. They can still be moved substantially horizontally at the point of arrival between the belt conveyor and the lifting platform by means of a roller conveyor. At the upper departure point, the boats are preferably between Lifting platform and guideway guided over a runway to facilitate a facilitated transition between lifting platform and guideway.

Die Hubplattformen können, insbesondere bei Seilantrieb, frei hängend angehoben werden, vorzugsweise werden sie jedoch ähnlich einer Fahrstuhlführung schienengeführt angehoben. Damit lassen sich auch bei Fahrstuhlantrieben bekannte Sicherungselemente auf einfache Weise realisieren.The lifting platforms can be lifted freely suspended, in particular in cable drive, but they are preferably raised rail-like similar to an elevator guide. This can also be realized in elevator drives known fuse elements in a simple manner.

Der Antrieb des Drehturms kann vorzugsweise entsprechend dem Antrieb eines Drehkrans ausgeführt sein. In weitergehender Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es auch möglich, den Drehturm mit zwei oberen gegenüberliegenden Armen auszugestalten, an denen die Hubplattformen jeweils frei hängend auf- und abbewegt werden können. Je nach Länge der Arme werden die Hubplattformen daher mit entsprechendem Abstand vom Drehturm auf- und abwärts gefahren. Es ist dabei lediglich sicherzustellen, dass sowohl in der oberen als auch unteren Stellung der Hubplattformen eine Verriegelung der Hubplattformen gegenüber dem Abfahrts- und Ankunftsort herstellbar ist, um die Fahrzeuge sicher von der Hubplattform auf die Führungsbahn abgeben bzw. von der Führungsbahn aufnehmen zu können.The drive of the turret may preferably be designed according to the drive of a slewing crane. In a further embodiment of the invention, it is also possible to design the turret with two upper opposing arms, on which the lifting platforms can be freely suspended up and down. Depending on the length of the arms, the lifting platforms are therefore moved up and down with an appropriate distance from the turret. It is only necessary to ensure that both in the upper and lower position of the lifting platforms a locking of the lifting platforms relative to the departure and arrival point can be produced to deliver the vehicles safely from the lifting platform on the guideway or to record from the guideway.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitensicht der Vergnügungseinrichtung mit einer mehrfach verschlungenen Bahn, die von einem Abfahrtsort 10 zu einem Ankunftsort 6 verläuft, wobei die Bahn durch ein Einstiegsgebäude 2 geführt wird, in dem Fahrgäste aus den Booten aussteigen oder in ein Boot einsteigen können.Fig. 1 shows a side view of the amusement device with a multi-lane track running from a departure point 10 to an arrival point 6, the lane being passed through an entrance building 2 where passengers can get off the boats or board a boat.

Die Führungsbahn ist als Kanal ausgebildet und verläuft in einem relativ flachen Winkel nach unten. Durch den Kanal wird ein Wasserfluss geführt, auf dem die Boote schwimmend nach unten geleitet werden.The guideway is formed as a channel and extends at a relatively shallow angle down. Through the channel, a water flow is guided, on which the boats are led floating down.

Obgleich das Ausführungsbeispiel eine Wasserbahn beschreibt, ist die Erfindung nicht auf eine Wasserbahn beschränkt, sondern ist auch insbesondere für schienengeführte "trockene" Bahnen, z. B. Achterbahnen, verwendbar.Although the embodiment describes a waterway, the invention is not limited to a waterway, but is also particularly for rail-guided "dry" trains, for. B. roller coasters, usable.

Die am Ankunftsort 6 ankommenden Fahrzeuge werden mittels einer vertikal geführten Hubvorrichtung angehoben, wobei sie gleichzeitig um die Achse der Hubvorrichtung, die als Drehturm 3 ausgebildet ist, gedreht werden. Die Hubvorrichtung 4, die Boote auf der rechten Seite aufnimmt, wird dadurch während der Auffahrt entlang des Drehturms 3 so gedreht, dass sie am Abfahrtsort 10 auf der linken Seite des Drehturms ankommt und unmittelbar das Boot in die Führungsbahn abgeben kann.The arriving at the destination 6 vehicles are raised by means of a vertically guided lifting device, wherein they are simultaneously rotated about the axis of the lifting device, which is designed as a turret 3. The lifting device 4, which receives boats on the right side, is thereby rotated during the driveway along the turret 3 so that it arrives at the departure point 10 on the left side of the turret and can deliver the boat directly into the guideway.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Vergnügungsbahn in um 90° gedrehter Ansicht. Dabei ist eine Hubplattform 4 in einer mittleren Stellung entlang der vertikalen Höhe des Drehturms dargestellt.Fig. 2 shows an amusement ride in rotated by 90 ° view. In this case, a lifting platform 4 is shown in a middle position along the vertical height of the turret.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine vergrößerte Ansicht des Drehturms 3, welcher zwei gegenüberliegende Hubplattformen 4, 5 in den jeweiligen Ausgangsstellungen zeigt. Während die erste Hubplattform 4 in der gezeigten Situation ein Boot aufnehmen kann, kann gleichzeitig die zweite Hubplattform 5, die sich in der oberen Stellung befindet, ein Boot in die Führungsbahn 1 abgeben.Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of the turret 3, which shows two opposite lifting platforms 4, 5 in the respective starting positions. While the first lifting platform 4 can pick up a boat in the situation shown, at the same time the second lifting platform 5, which is in the upper position, can deliver a boat into the guideway 1.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf die Vergnügungsbahn. Am Ankunftsort 6 ist ein Boot 7 gezeigt, das dann mittels eines Schräg-, insbesondere Bandförderers 8, leicht schräg nach oben aus dem Wasser angehoben wird, um es auf einen Rollförderer 9 zu übergeben. Hierbei handelt es sich um einen angetriebenen Rollförderer, der das Boot auf die erste Hubplattform 4 horizontal weiter befördert. Der Rollförderer 9 erleichtert die Übergabe eines Bootes 7 auf die erste Hubplattform 4, wenn der Bandförderer 8 relativ schräg angeordnet ist. Bei einer leichten Schräganordnung kann auf den Rollförderer 9 verzichtet werden. Der Bandförderer kann auch als Rollen- oder Reibradförderer oder in anderer für diesen Zweck geeigneter Gestaltung ausgebildet sein.4 shows a plan view of the amusement ride. At the point of arrival 6, a boat 7 is shown, which is then lifted by means of a slanted, in particular belt conveyor 8, slightly obliquely upwards out of the water, to transfer it to a roller conveyor 9. This is a powered roller conveyor that carries the boat on the first lifting platform 4 horizontally on. The roller conveyor 9 facilitates the transfer of a boat 7 on the first lifting platform 4, when the belt conveyor 8 is arranged relatively obliquely. With a slight tilt arrangement can be dispensed with the roller conveyor 9. The belt conveyor can also be designed as a roller or friction wheel conveyor or in other suitable for this purpose design.

Die Hubplattformen enthalten ebenfalls eine Rollbahn, um die Boote auf der Hubplattform in eine sichere Ruhestellung überführen zu können. Die Rollbahnen der Hubplattformen können auch auf einem Drehkranz der Hubplattformen gelagert sein, um eine notwendige oder gewollte Drehung der Boote auf der Hubplattform zu ermöglichen.The lifting platforms also include a runway to transfer the boats on the lifting platform in a safe rest position. The runways of the lifting platforms can also be mounted on a turntable of the lifting platforms to allow a necessary or intentional rotation of the boats on the lifting platform.

Das auf die ersten Hubplattform 4 überführte Boot wird dann vertikal entlang der Außenseite des Drehturms 3, insbesondere mittels Seilzug schienengeführt nach oben befördert. Dabei wird der Drehturm 3, der bodenseitig gelagert ist, gedreht, so dass die Hubplattform 4 während der Aufwärtsbewegung in Richtung der Fahrzeugbahn 1 verschwenkt wird. Es ist möglich, die Hubplattform 4 nicht nur um die dargestellten 90° zu verschwenken, sondern während der Auffahrt einmal oder auch mehrfach um 360° zu drehen, was den Vergnügungszweck weiter verbessert. Hierbei kann auch vorgesehen sein, während der Auffahrt Hubpausen einzulegen, um in einer solchen Hubpause eine ein- oder mehrfache Drehung der Hubplattform durchzuführen. In alternativer Ausbildung können die Hubplattformen auch an der Innenseite des Drehturms geführt werden.The transferred to the first lifting platform 4 boat is then transported vertically along the outside of the turret 3, in particular by means of cable rail guided upwards. In this case, the turret 3, which is mounted on the bottom side, rotated, so that the lifting platform 4 is pivoted during the upward movement in the direction of the vehicle web 1. It is possible to pivot the lifting platform 4 not only by the illustrated 90 °, but to rotate once or several times 360 ° during the driveway, which further improves the fun. This can also be provided during the driveway insert pauses in order to perform a single or multiple rotation of the lifting platform in such a Hubpause. In an alternative embodiment, the lifting platforms can also be performed on the inside of the turret.

Während die erste Hubplattform 4 angehoben wird, wird gleichzeitig und synchron die zweite Hubplattform 5 abgesenkt, welche aufgrund des gewichtsausgleichenden Antriebs der Hubplattformen ein Gegengewicht zur Hubplattform 4 bildet.While the first lifting platform 4 is raised, the second lifting platform 5 is simultaneously and synchronously lowered, which forms a counterweight to the lifting platform 4 due to the weight-compensating drive of the lifting platforms.

Sobald die erste Hubplattform 4 die obere Stellung unmittelbar angrenzend an den Abfahrtsort 10 der Führungsbahn 1 erreicht hat, wird das entsprechend angehobene Boot auf eine Rollbahn 11 übergeben, von der es in den wassergeführten Kanal 1 einläuft und dann entlang des Kanals nach unten schwimmt. Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Boot 12, das gerade von einer Hubplattform abgegeben wurde.Once the first lifting platform 4 has reached the upper position immediately adjacent to the departure point 10 of the guideway 1, the corresponding raised boat is transferred to a runway 11 from which it enters the water-bearing channel 1 and then floats down along the channel. The drawing shows a boat 12, which has just been released from a lifting platform.

Die Hubplattenformen 4, 5 werden paarweise angetrieben. Es ist auch möglich, je nach Platzverhältnissen, weitere Hubplattformen-Paare innen oder außen an dem Drehturm anzuordnen, die unabhängig von einem anderen Paar angetrieben werden, wobei allerdings das Beladen und Entladen der Hubplattformen der einzelnen Paare zentral zu koordinieren ist.The Hubplattenformen 4, 5 are driven in pairs. It is also possible, depending on space, other Hubplattformen pairs inside or outside of the To arrange turret, which are driven independently of another pair, however, the loading and unloading of the lifting platforms of each pair is centrally coordinated.

Wenn die Hubplattformen am Drehturm gegenüberliegend (180° versetzt) angeordnet sind und auch Ankunfts- und Abfahrtsende der Führungsbahn gegenüber dem Drehturm um 180° versetzt liegen, werden die Hubplattformen nach Aufwärts- und Abwärtsfahrt und Drehung um 180° jeweils unmittelbar am Abfahrts- und Ankunftsende der Führungsbahn andocken können. Bei anderen Winkelstellungen ist ggf. vor dem Andocken einer Hubplattform an die Führungsbahn eine zusätzliche Winkeldrehung des Drehturms erforderlich, indem z. B. zunächst die beladene Hubplattform am oberen Ende des Drehturms zur Führungsbahn hin gerichtet wird und dann der Drehturm um einen solchen Winkel gedreht wird, dass die untere Plattform zum Ankunftsende der Führungsbahn hin gerichtet wird, um ein Beladen zu ermöglichen. Die zusätzliche Winkeldrehung kann vermieden oder verkleinert werden, wenn die Plattformen selbst einen Drehkranz aufweisen, der es erlaubt, die Plattformen aus verschiedenen Richtungen zu beladen bzw. in verschiedenen Richtungen zu entladen.If the lifting platforms are arranged opposite each other on the turret (offset by 180 °) and also the arrival and departure end of the guideway are offset by 180 ° with respect to the turret, the lifting platforms will move upwards and downwards and turn through 180 ° directly at the departure and arrival ends can dock the guideway. At other angular positions, an additional angular rotation of the turret may be required before docking a lifting platform to the track by z. B. first the loaded lifting platform at the upper end of the turret is directed towards the guideway and then the turret is rotated by such an angle that the lower platform is directed towards the arrival end of the guideway to allow loading. The additional angular rotation can be avoided or reduced if the platforms themselves have a turntable, which allows to load the platforms from different directions or to unload in different directions.

Wenn die Hubplattformen in Bezug auf die Boote ausreichend groß sind, kann jede Hubplattform nicht nur ein Boot, sondern auch zwei oder mehr Boote, insbesondere eine Reihe hintereinander, aufnehmen, die an der Abfahrtsstelle der Reihe nach wieder abgegeben werdenIf the lifting platforms are sufficiently large with respect to the boats, each lifting platform can accommodate not only one boat but also two or more boats, in particular one row behind the other, which are returned in turn at the point of departure

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung erlaubt ein Anheben von Fahrzeugen einer Vergnügungsbahn auf engstem Raum mit einer gleichzeitigen Erhöhung des Vergnügungseffekts, eines energieökonomischen Betriebs, wobei gleichzeitig ein ansprechendes optisches Erscheinungsbild der Anlage erreicht wird.The device according to the invention makes it possible to lift vehicles of an amusement ride in a confined space with a simultaneous increase in the amusement effect of an energy-economical operation, at the same time achieving an appealing visual appearance of the installation.
