Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 1 an embodiment of an entertainment device according to the invention in an oblique view
  • Fig. 2 the entry and exit area of the amusement device, including the drive located, on a larger scale
  • Fig. 3 a first embodiment of the connection of the hoisting ropes with the cabins
  • Fig. 4 an alternative embodiment of the guidance of the cabins on rails
  • Fig. 5 on an enlarged scale the drive of the amusement device
  • Fig. 6 the cable guide in the area of the drive of Figure 5 .
  • Fig. 7 an alternative variant of a drive
  • Fig. 8 the cable guide in the area of the drive of Fig. 7 ,
  • 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.
  • the outer surface 4 is straight to create a not longer darg Horen 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • other connecting means may be provided.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 4 Also shown is another form of connection between the rope loops 12a and 12b and the chassis 8.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the drive 5 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the rollers 11 Fig. 3
  • the radially inner pairs of rollers 8 FIG. Fig. 4
  • a drive 5 In the Fig. 7 and 8th an alternative embodiment of a drive 5 is shown.
  • 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.
