Abstract

The ride has cabins (2) for persons circulating on a positionally fixed supporting structure (1). A rope drive (5) is connected to move the cabins about the supporting structure, where the rope drive includes a single closed-loop conveying rope. A deflecting device is disposed to fold the single closed-loop conveying rope into two rope loops engaging with the cabins. The cabins are connected with the conveying rope by way of a frictionally locking connection, where interconnectors connect the cabins to one another with a fixed spacing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vergnügungseinrichtung mit einer ortsfesten, tragenden Struktur, auf der Transportmittel für Personen umlaufen und mit einem Seilantrieb für die Transportmittel.The invention relates to an amusement device with a stationary, supporting structure, on which transport means for persons revolve and with a cable drive for the means of transport.

Eine derartige Vergnügungseinrichtung ist aus der EP A 459 789 bekannt. Der Antrieb der Kabinen erfolgt dort mit Hilfe von zwei endlosen Antriebsseilen, die von einem Motor angetrieben werden. Der Nachteil dieser Ausführungsform liegt darin, dass ein Gleichlauf der beiden getrennten Seilschleifen nur mit einem sehr hohen technischen Aufwand gewährleistet werden kann, da es nicht genügt, die beiden Antriebe mit gleicher Drehzahl laufen zu lassen, weil bereits geringe Unterschiede im Durchmesser bzw. Umfang der Antriebsscheiben zu unterschiedlichen Fördergeschwindigkeiten der beiden Seilschleifen führen würden.Such amusement device is from the EP A 459 789 known. The cabs are driven by means of two endless drive cables, which are driven by a motor. The disadvantage of this embodiment is that a synchronization of the two separate cable loops can be guaranteed only with a very high technical complexity, since it is not enough to run the two drives at the same speed, because even small differences in the diameter or extent of Drive pulleys would lead to different conveying speeds of the two cable loops.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Antrieb für eine Vergnügungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem ein Gleichlauf der beiden Seilschleifen gewährleistet wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a drive for an amusement device of the type mentioned in which a synchronization of the two cable loops is ensured.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vergnügungseinrichtung dadurch, dass ein einziges in sich geschlossenes Förderseil vorgesehen ist, das über eine Umlenkeinrichtung gekreuzt zwei Seilschleifen bildet, die beide an den Transportmitteln angreifen.This object is achieved in a generic amusement device characterized in that a single self-contained haul rope is provided, which crossed over a deflecting device forms two rope loops, both of which act on the means of transport.

Da bei der Erfindung nur ein einziges endloses Seil vorgesehen ist, das in zwei Seilschleifen um die tragende Struktur gelegt und mit den Transportmitteln verbunden ist, wird ein synchroner Lauf der beiden Seilschleifen automatisch gewährleistet.Since in the invention only a single endless rope is provided, which is placed in two rope loops around the supporting structure and connected to the transport means, a synchronous running of the two rope loops is automatically ensured.

Bei der Verbindung der beiden Seilschleifen mit den Transportmitteln sind zwei Ausführungsformen bevorzugt.When connecting the two cable loops with the means of transport, two embodiments are preferred.

Eine Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Förderseil über eine reibschlüssige Verbindung an den Transportmitteln angreift und dass an den Transportmitteln wenigstens eine blockierbare Seilrolle gelagert ist, an der das Förderseil aufliegt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Verbindung sehr einfach ausgeführt, da sie nur durch die Reibung infolge des festen Anliegens des Förderseiles an einem entsprechenden Kontaktbereich der Transportmittel, insbesondere an deren Fahrgestell, erfolgt.An embodiment is characterized in that the conveying cable engages via a frictional connection to the transport means and that at least one blockable pulley is mounted on the transport means, on which rests the hoisting rope. In this embodiment, the connection is very simple, since they only by the friction due to the firm concern of the hoisting rope at a corresponding contact region of the transport, in particular on the chassis, takes place.

Die andere bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Förderseil mit den Transportmitteln mittels lösbarer Klemmen verbunden ist. Diese Ausführungsform gewährleistet eine noch festere Verbindung zwischen Förderseil und Transportmittel, allerdings mit einem technisch höheren Aufwand für die lösbaren Klemmen.The other preferred embodiment is characterized in that the hoisting rope is connected to the transport means by means of releasable clamps. This embodiment ensures an even firmer connection between the hoisting rope and means of transport, but with a technically higher cost for the detachable terminals.

Bezüglich der Umlenkeinrichtung und des Antriebes für das Seil sind bei der Erfindung im Wesentlichen zwei Varianten bevorzugt.With regard to the deflection device and the drive for the rope, essentially two variants are preferred in the invention.

Beiden Varianten gemeinsam ist, dass die Umlenkeinrichtung zwei koaxial nebeneinander gelagerte Antriebsscheiben sowie einlaufseitig vor und auslaufseitig nach der Umlenkeinrichtung jeweils ein Paar neben einander gelagerter Umlenkrollen aufweist.Common to both variants is that the deflection device has two coaxially juxtaposed drive pulleys as well as inlet side and outlet side respectively downstream of the deflection device a pair of adjacent deflection rollers.

Die erste Variante ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Antriebsscheiben gegensinnig angetrieben sind und dass die Umlenkrollen mit zueinander parallelen Achsen gelagert sind.The first variant is characterized in that the drive disks are driven in opposite directions and that the deflection rollers are mounted with mutually parallel axes.

Die zweite Variante ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Antriebsscheiben gleichsinnig angetrieben sind, dass ein Paar der Umlenkrollen mit koaxialen Achsen gelagert ist, dass das andere Paar der Umlenkrollen mit zueinander geneigten Achsen gelagert ist, dass im Bereich dieses anderen Paares der Umlenkrollen eine Führungseinrichtung angeordnet ist und dass die Seilschleifen einander zwischen der Führungseinrichtung und diesem anderen Paar der Umlenkrollen kreuzen.The second variant is characterized in that the drive disks are driven in the same direction, that a pair of pulleys is mounted with coaxial axes, that the other pair of pulleys is mounted with mutually inclined axes, that in the region of this other pair of pulleys guide means is arranged and that the cable loops intersect each other between the guide means and this other pair of diverting pulleys.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der übrigen Unteransprüche.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the remaining dependent claims.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die angeschlossenen Zeichnungen.Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Schrägansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Vergnügungseinrichtung dargestellt, die allgemein auch als "Riesenrad" bezeichnet wird. Die Vergnügungseinrichtung weist eine ortsfeste, starre und tragende Struktur 1 auf, die z.B. als Stahlbetonring ausgeführt ist, auf dem Transportmittel 2 in Form von Kabinen umlaufen. Die Außenfläche 4 der tragenden Struktur 1 ist - abgesehen vom unten liegenden Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 3 - kreiszylinderförmig ausgeführt, kann aber auch eine davon abweichende Form aufweisen und z.B. elliptisch sein. Im Einstiegsbereich 3 ist die Außenfläche 4 gerade, um einen im Detail nicht dargstellten, längeren horizontalen Einstiegsbereich für die Fahrgäste zu schaffen. Unter dem Einstiegsbereich 3 ist der Antrieb 5 angeordnet, der in der Praxis nicht sichtbar in einem Maschinengehäuse angeordnet ist.In Fig. 1 is an oblique view of an amusement device according to the invention shown, which is generally referred to as a "Ferris wheel". The amusement device has a stationary, rigid and supporting structure 1, which is designed, for example, as a reinforced concrete ring, on which means of transport 2 in the form of cabins revolve. The outer surface 4 of the supporting structure 1 is - apart from the underlying entry and exit area 3 - circular cylindrical running, but may also have a different shape and be eg elliptical. In the entry area 3, the outer surface 4 is straight to create a not longer dargstellten in detail, horizontal entry area for the passengers. Below the access area 3 of the drive 5 is arranged, which is not visible in practice arranged in a machine housing.

Auf der tragenden Struktur 1 sind an der äußeren Umfangsfläche 4 Schienen 6 angebracht, auf denen Laufrollen 7 abrollen, die an einem Fahrgestell 8 der Kabinen 2 gelagert sind. Verbunden und in einem definierten Abstand zueinander gehalten sind die einzelnen Kabinen 2 über ein oder mehrere Verbindungsseile 9, die mit Hilfe von Klemmen 10 fest mit dem Fahrgestell 8 jeder Kabine 2 verbunden sind. Anstelle der Verbindungsseile 9 können auch andere Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen sein. Die Verwendung von drei Verbindungsseilen 9 ist allerdings vorteilhaft, weil eine sehr stabile und sichere Verbindung der Kabinen 2 untereinander gegeben ist.On the supporting structure 1 rails 6 are mounted on the outer peripheral surface 4, on which rollers 7 roll, which are mounted on a chassis 8 of the cabins 2. Connected and held at a defined distance from each other, the individual cabins 2 via one or more connecting cables 9, which are connected by means of terminals 10 fixed to the chassis 8 of each car 2. Instead of the connecting cables 9, other connecting means may be provided. However, the use of three connecting cables 9 is advantageous because a very stable and secure connection of the cabins 2 is given to each other.

In Fig. 3 sind noch zwei Paar weitere Laufrollen 11 je Fahrgestell 8 zu sehen, welche zur Unterstützung der Kabinen 2 dienen, wenn sich diese im Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 3 unter der Struktur 1 hängend befinden.In Fig. 3 are still two pairs of other rollers 11 per chassis 8 to see, which serve to support the cabins 2, if they are in the entry and exit area 3 under the structure 1 hanging.

In den Kabinen 2 sind Plattformen, gegebenenfalls mit Sitzen, angeordnet, die über geeignete Einrichtungen immer horizontal gehalten werden, während sich die Kabinen beim Umlauf um die tragende Struktur 1 drehen.In the cabins 2 platforms, possibly with seats, are arranged, which always kept horizontal via suitable means while the cabins rotate around the supporting structure 1 when circulating.

Angetrieben werden die Kabinen 2 über ein einziges, geschlossenes Seil 12, das in zwei Schleifen 12a und 12b zu beiden Seiten der Kabinen 2 über die Laufrollen 7 am Fahrgestell 8 der Kabinen 2 angreifen. Die Laufrollen 7 dienen in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gleichzeitig als Reibrollen, sodass durch die synchrone Fortbewegung der beiden Seilschleifen 12a und 12b über Reibungskräfte eine Vortriebskraft auf die Laufrollen 7 ausgeübt wird, durch welche die Kabinen 2 vorwärts bewegt werden. Durch die gewählte Form der Kraftübertragung bewegen sich die Kabinen 2 mit der halben Geschwindigkeit wie die beiden Seilschleifen 12a und 12b des Förderseiles 12.The cabins 2 are driven by a single, closed cable 12, which engage in two loops 12a and 12b on both sides of the cabins 2 via the rollers 7 on the chassis 8 of the cabins 2. The rollers 7 serve in this embodiment simultaneously as friction rollers, so that a driving force is exerted on the rollers 7 by the synchronous movement of the two rope loops 12a and 12b via frictional forces through which the cars 2 are moved forward. Due to the selected form of power transmission, the cars 2 move at half the speed of the two cable loops 12a and 12b of the conveyor cable 12.

Die Laufrollen 8 sind bei der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform anders als bei der Ausführungsform von Fig. 3 ausgeführt und zwar in Form von insgesamt zwölf Laufrollen, von denen jeweils vier Paar auf einer Seite der Schienen 6 und die anderen vier Stück auf der gegenüberliegenden, inneren Seite der Schienen 6 abrollen. Die Anzahl der Laufrollen kann je nach Belastung variieren.The rollers 8 are at the in Fig. 4 embodiment shown differently than in the embodiment of Fig. 3 executed in the form of a total of twelve rollers, of which four pairs on one side of the rails 6 and the other four pieces on the opposite, inner side of the rails 6 roll. The number of rollers can vary depending on the load.

In Fig. 4 ist auch eine andere Form der Verbindung zwischen den Seilschleifen 12a und 12b und dem Fahrgestell 8 dargestellt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform greifen die Seilschleifen 12a und 12b an separaten Reibrädern 13 an, die zwar drehbar am Fahrgestell 8 gelagert sind, für den Normalbetrieb aber blockiert werden können, damit sie sich nicht drehen. Durch die Reibung zwischen dem Seil 12 und den Reibrädern 13 werden die Kabinen mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit wie die Seilschleifen 12a und 12b befördert. Die Funktion der drehbaren Lagerung der Reibräder 13 wird später noch erläutert.In Fig. 4 Also shown is another form of connection between the rope loops 12a and 12b and the chassis 8. In this embodiment, the cable loops 12a and 12b engage separate friction wheels 13, which are rotatably mounted on the chassis 8, but can be blocked for normal operation so that they do not rotate. By the friction between the rope 12 and the friction wheels 13, the cabs are conveyed at the same speed as the rope loops 12a and 12b. The function of the rotatable mounting of the friction wheels 13 will be explained later.

Im Bereich des Antriebes 5 sind, wie in einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung in Fig. 5 im Detail zu sehen ist, zwei Antriebsscheiben 14 vorgesehen, die von Motoren 15 angetrieben werden. Die Antriebe drehen mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit in entgegengesetztem Drehsinn. Ein synchroner Lauf der beiden Antriebsscheiben 14a, 14b wird entweder durch steuerungstechnische Maßnahmen oder durch eine mechanische Koppelung der beiden Antriebe erreicht. Über den Antriebsscheiben 14a, 14b sind zwei Paar Umlenkrollen 16a, 16b und 17a, 17b vorgesehen, die hinsichtlich ihrer Drehachsen versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Durch diese versetzte Anordnung der Umlenkrollen ist es möglich, die beiden Seilschleifen 12a und 12b im Bereich des Antriebes 5 zu kreuzen. Konkret läuft das in Fig. 5 von links einlaufende Seil der Seilschleife 12a über die Umlenkrolle 16a und die Antriebsscheibe 14a, wird anschließend über die Umlenkrolle 17b geführt und läuft in die Seilschleife 12b aus dem Antrieb 5 aus. Demgegenüber wird das von links einlaufende Seil der Seilschleife 12b über die Umlenkrolle 16b auf die Antriebsscheibe 14b geleitet und läuft über die Umlenkrolle 17a in die Seilschleife 12a aus der Antriebseinheit 5 aus. Mit anderen Worten wechselt das Seil 12 von der Seilschleife 12a durch die Antriebseinheit 5 in die Seilschleife 12b und aus der Seilschleife 12b in die Seilschleife 12a.In the area of the drive 5, as in a first embodiment of the invention in FIG Fig. 5 can be seen in detail, two drive pulleys 14 are provided, which are driven by motors 15. The drives rotate at the same speed in opposite directions. A synchronous running of the two drive pulleys 14a, 14b is achieved either by control measures or by a mechanical coupling of the two drives. About the drive pulleys 14a, 14b, two pairs of pulleys 16a, 16b and 17a, 17b are provided which are offset with respect to their axes of rotation are arranged to each other. By this staggered arrangement of the pulleys, it is possible to cross the two cable loops 12a and 12b in the region of the drive 5. Specifically, that runs in Fig. 5 Rope of the rope loop 12a entering from the left via the deflection roller 16a and the drive disc 14a is subsequently guided over the deflection roller 17b and exits the drive 5 in the rope loop 12b. In contrast, the rope of the rope loop 12b, which enters from the left, is guided onto the drive pulley 14b via the deflection roller 16b and runs out of the drive unit 5 via the deflection pulley 17a into the rope loop 12a. In other words, the cable 12 changes from the cable loop 12a through the drive unit 5 into the cable loop 12b and out of the cable loop 12b into the cable loop 12a.

Da beide Seilschleifen 12a, 12b von einem einzigen, geschlossenen Seil gebildet werden, ist ein absoluter Gleichlauf der beiden Seilschleifen 12a und 12b gewährleistet, sodass ein verkantungsfreier Lauf der Kabinen 2 gewährleistet ist, der nicht nur den Aufwand für die Lagerung des Fahrwerkes 8 auf den Schienen 6 der tragenden Struktur 1 minimiert, sondern auch den Verschleiß des Fahrwerkes und der Schienen so gering wie möglich hält.Since both rope loops 12a, 12b are formed by a single, closed rope, an absolute synchronization of the two rope loops 12a and 12b is ensured so that a tilt-free run of the cab 2 is ensured, not only the cost of mounting the chassis 8 on the Tracks 6 of the supporting structure 1 minimized, but also keeps the wear of the chassis and rails as low as possible.

Nach der Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Vergnügungseinrichtung muss der Antrieb 5 zunächst eingefahren werden. Dies ist erforderlich, da die beiden Antriebsscheiben 14a und 14b nicht so präzise hergestellt werden können, dass sie den absolut gleichen Durchmesser und Umfang aufweisen, der benötigt wird, da nur ein einziges umlaufendes Seil verwendet wird und die beiden Seilschleifen 12a, 12b daher gleich schnell angetrieben werden müssen.After assembly of the amusement device according to the invention, the drive 5 must first be retracted. This is necessary because the two drive pulleys 14a and 14b can not be made so precisely that they have the absolutely same diameter and circumference required because only a single revolving rope is used and the two rope loops 12a, 12b are therefore equally fast must be driven.

Durch das Einfahren werden geometrische Unterschiede der beiden Antriebsscheiben 14a und 14b beseitigt, was in erster Linie durch mechanischen Abrieb an den Antriebsscheiben 14a und/oder 14b erfolgt. Während dieses Einfahrens ist es allerdings von Vorteil, wenn die Kabinen 2 nicht mitbewegt werden müssen. Aus diesem Grund sind bei der Ausführungsform von Fig. 4 die Reibrollen 13 zunächst frei drehbar, sodass das Förderseil 12 auf ihnen abrollen kann, ohne die Kabinen 2 zu bewegen. Erst wenn das Einfahren abgeschlossen ist, werden die Reibrollen 13 blockiert, sodass sich die Kabinen 2 durch die reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Seil 12 und Reibrollen 13 mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit bewegen wie das Seil 12.By retracting geometrical differences of the two drive pulleys 14a and 14b are eliminated, which is done primarily by mechanical abrasion of the drive pulleys 14a and / or 14b. During this retraction, however, it is advantageous if the cabins 2 do not have to be moved. For this reason, in the embodiment of Fig. 4 the friction rollers 13 first freely rotatable so that the hoist rope 12 can roll on them without moving the cabins 2. Only when the retraction is completed, the friction rollers 13 are blocked so that the cabins 2 move through the frictional connection between the cable 12 and friction rollers 13 at the same speed as the rope 12th

Wie aus den Zeichnungen ersichtlich ist, liegt das Seil 12 von außen an den Lauf- bzw. Reibrollen 7 und 13 an, sodass das gespannte Seil 12 zusätzlich zu den gespannten Verbindungsseilen 9 die Fahrgestelle 8 der Kabinen 2 fest gegen die Schienen 6 drückt. Am Beginn des Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiches 3 entfernt sich das Seil 12 allerdings von den Lauf- bzw. Reibrollen 7, 13, da das Seil 12 gerade zu den Umlenkrollen 16a, 16b weitergeführt wird, wogegen die Führungsbahn 4 mit den Schienen 6 horizontal weitergeführt wird. Der Antrieb der Kabinen 2 erfolgt bis zur neuerlichen Kontaktaufnahme zwischen Seil 12 und den Lauf- bzw. Reibrollen 7, 13 am Ende des Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiches 3 über die Verbindungsseile 9, durch welche die Fahrgestelle 9 der Kabine 2 weiterhin gegen die Schienen 6 gedrückt gehalten werden. Des weiteren sind, wie erwähnt, die Laufrollen 11 (Fig. 3) bzw. die radial innen liegenden Laufrollenpaare 8 (Fig. 4) vorhanden, die ein Abheben der hängenden Gondeln 2 von den Schienen 6 verhindern.As can be seen from the drawings, the cable 12 is from the outside of the running or friction rollers 7 and 13, so that the tensioned cable 12 in addition to the tensioned connecting cables 9, the chassis 8 of the cabins 2 presses firmly against the rails 6. At the beginning of the entry and exit area 3, however, the cable 12 moves away from the running or friction rollers 7, 13, since the cable 12 is continued straight to the deflection rollers 16a, 16b, whereas the guide track 4 is continued horizontally with the rails 6 , The drive of the cars 2 takes place until the renewed contact between the cable 12 and the running or friction rollers 7, 13 at the end of the entry and exit area 3 via the connecting cables 9, through which the chassis 9 of the car 2 continues to be pressed against the rails 6 being held. Furthermore, as mentioned, the rollers 11 ( Fig. 3 ) or the radially inner pairs of rollers 8 (FIG. Fig. 4 ), which prevent lifting of the hanging gondolas 2 of the rails 6.

Anstelle einer reibschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen dem Seil 12 und dem Fahrgestell 8 in Form der Reibrollen 13 (Fig. 4) oder Laufrollen (Fig. 3) ist es grundsätzlich auch möglich, andere Formen der Verbindung zwischen dem Seil 12 und den Fahrgestellen 8 zu wählen. Beispielsweise können lösbare Kuppelklemmen an den Fahrgestellen vorgesehen sein, mit denen die Kabinen 2 am Anfang des Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiches 3 vom Seil 12 entkoppelt und am Ende dieses Bereiches wieder angekuppelt werden.Instead of a frictional connection between the cable 12 and the chassis 8 in the form of the friction rollers 13 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) or rollers ( Fig. 3 In principle, it is also possible to choose other forms of connection between the cable 12 and the chassis 8. For example, detachable coupling clamps can be provided on the chassis with which the cabs 2 are decoupled from the cable 12 at the beginning of the entry and exit area 3 and are coupled again at the end of this area.

In den Fig. 7 und 8 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform eines Antriebes 5 dargestellt. Es sind wiederum zwei Antriebsscheiben 18a und 18b vorgesehen, welche bei dieser Ausführungsform allerdings in die gleiche Richtung drehen und über eine Welle 21 starr miteinander verbunden sind. Angetrieben werden die Antriebsscheiben 18a und 18b mit einem oder zwei Motoren 22, wobei die Verwendung von zwei Motoren 22 bevorzugt ist, da der Betrieb der Vergnügungseinrichtung dann auch bei Ausfall eines Motors, gegebenenfalls mit geringerer Leistung, weitergeführt werden kann, indem man den ausgefallenen Motor von der Welle 21 entkuppelt.In the Fig. 7 and 8th an alternative embodiment of a drive 5 is shown. In turn, two drive disks 18a and 18b are provided which, however, rotate in the same direction in this embodiment and are rigidly connected to one another via a shaft 21. The drive pulleys 18a and 18b are driven by one or two motors 22, with the use of two motors 22 being preferred, since the operation of the amusement device can then be continued even if one engine fails, possibly with less power, by turning off the failed engine decoupled from the shaft 21.

Es sind bei der in den Fig. 7 und 8 dargestellten Ausführungsform auslaufseitig zwei koaxial angeordnete Umlenkrollen 20a und 20b vorgesehen und einlaufseitig zwei Umlenkrollen 19a und 19b, die zwar nebeneinander aber mit zueinander geneigt angeordneten Drehachsen angeordnet sind. Des Weiteren ist einlaufseitig vor den beiden Umlenkrollen 19a und 19b eine Führungseinrichtung 23 angeordnet, welche zwei koaxial gelagerte und gegeneinander drehende Seilscheiben 24a und 24b aufweist. Die Kreuzung der beiden Seilschleifen 12a und 12b erfolgt dabei im Bereich zwischen der Führungseinrichtung 23 und den beiden Umlenkrollen 19a und 19b. Konkret läuft das in Fig. 7 und 8 von links einlaufende Seil der Seilschleife 12a über die obere Seilscheibe 24a der Führungseinrichtung 23 zur Umlenkrolle 19b und über die Antriebsscheibe 18b, wird anschließend über die Umlenkrolle 20b geführt und läuft in die Seilschleife 12b aus dem Antrieb 5 aus. Demgegenüber wird das von links einlaufende Seil der Seilschleife 12b über die untere Seilscheibe 24b der Führungseinrichtung 23 unter dem Seil der Seilschleife 12a durchgeführt und läuft über die Umlenkrolle 19a, die Antriebsscheibe 18a und die Umlenkrolle 20a in die Seilschleife 12a aus der Antriebseinheit 5 aus.It is in the in the Fig. 7 and 8th illustrated embodiment, two coaxially arranged pulleys 20a and 20b on the outlet side and provided on the inlet side two pulleys 19a and 19b, although but are arranged side by side with mutually inclined axes of rotation. Furthermore, a guide device 23 is arranged upstream of the two deflection rollers 19a and 19b, which has two coaxially mounted and mutually rotating pulleys 24a and 24b. The intersection of the two rope loops 12a and 12b takes place in the region between the guide device 23 and the two deflection rollers 19a and 19b. Specifically, that runs in Fig. 7 and 8th Rope 12a, which enters from the left, of the cable loop 12a via the upper pulley 24a of the guide device 23 to the guide pulley 19b and via the drive pulley 18b, is subsequently guided over the pulley 20b and runs out of the drive 5 into the cable loop 12b. In contrast, the rope of the rope loop 12b, which enters from the left, is guided via the lower sheave 24b of the guide device 23 under the rope of the rope loop 12a and runs out of the drive unit 5 via the deflection roller 19a, the drive disc 18a and the deflection roller 20a into the rope loop 12a.

Die Ausführungsform des Antriebes gemäß 7 und 8 benötigt zwar im Vergleich zur Ausführungsform des Antriebes gemäß Fig. 5 und 6 eine zusätzliche Führungseinrichtung 23, weist aber wie erwähnt Vorteile hinsichtlich des synchronen Antriebes des beiden Antriebsscheiben 18a und 18b durch die mechanische Koppelung über die Welle 21 auf.Although the embodiment of the drive according to FIGS. 7 and 8 requires in comparison with the embodiment of the drive according to FIG Fig. 5 and 6 an additional guide device 23, but as mentioned has advantages in terms of the synchronous drive of the two drive pulleys 18 a and 18 b by the mechanical coupling via the shaft 21.
