The transverse struts have rectangular cross-section, and the diagonal struts have circular cross-section.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Achterbahn, die aus fachwerkartigen Gleiselementen zusammengesetzt ist, der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a roller coaster, which is composed of truss-like track elements, referred to in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

Belustigungsvorrichtungen in Form von Achterbahnen, auch Berg- und Talbahnen genannt, sind z.B. aus DE 6 750 355 U1 bekannt.Amusement devices in the form of roller coasters, also called uphill and valley tracks are, for example DE 6 750 355 U1 known.

Die miteinander zu verbindenden Gleiselemente weisen als Gleise dienende, im Wesentlichen etwa parallel zueinander verlaufende Metallrohre auf, welche mit Quer- und Diagonalstreben versteift sind.The track elements to be connected to one another have metal tubes which serve as tracks and essentially run parallel to one another, which are stiffened with transverse and diagonal braces.

Das Gleiselement der Anmelderin, von welchem die vorliegende Erfindung ausgeht, ist mit einem in der Regel parallel zu den Gleisen verlaufenden Zugrohr ausgestattet, das bei größeren Spannweiten auch bogenförmig ausgeführt sein kann. Hierbei sind Gleise und Zugrohr miteinander mit senkrecht zu den Gleisen und dem Zugrohr angeordneten Querstreben verbunden, wobei zwischen den Querstreben aus Rohren bestehende Diagonalstreben vorgesehen sind. Die Querstreben sind hierzu mit den Gleisen bzw. mit zwischen den Gleisen angeordneten Traversen und dem Zugrohr verbunden, während die Diagonalstreben zwischen den Querstreben angeordnet und mit diesen verbunden, nämlich verschweißt, sind.The track element of the applicant, of which the present invention proceeds, is equipped with a generally extending parallel to the tracks draft tube, which can also be arcuate for larger spans. Here, track and drawbar are connected to each other with perpendicular to the tracks and the drawbar arranged cross braces, wherein existing diagonal braces are provided between the cross braces of tubes. For this purpose, the transverse struts are connected with the tracks or with traverses arranged between the tracks and the draw tube, while the diagonal struts are arranged between the transverse struts and connected thereto, namely welded.

Bei einfachen, weniger stark beanspruchten Konstruktionen können die Diagonalstreben auch unmittelbar mit den Gleisen bzw. dem Zugrohr verbunden sein.For simple, less stressed constructions, the diagonal struts can also be connected directly to the tracks or the drawbar.

Die Herstellung der Schweißverbindung zwischen den zum Beispiel aus Rundrohr bestehenden Diagonalstreben und den gleichfalls rohrförmigen Querstreben ist vor allem dann sehr problematisch, wenn die Gleise, wie bei modernen Achterbahnen üblich, bogenförmig verlaufen und/oder um ihre Längsachse schraubenförmig gewunden sind. Der Verlauf der stumpf mit den Querstreben zu verschweißenden Stoßflächen der Diagonalstreben muss genauestens berechnet werden, wobei auch die Herstellung der Schweißnähte, an deren Dauerfestigkeit während der im Betrieb hochdynamischen Belastung hohe Ansprüche zu stellen sind, außerordentlich präzise erfolgen muss.The preparation of the welded joint between the existing example of round tube diagonal struts and the likewise tubular cross struts is especially problematic when the tracks, as usual in modern roller coasters, arcuate and / or helically wound around its longitudinal axis. The course of the butt to be welded with the cross struts abutment surfaces of the diagonal struts must be calculated precisely, with the production of welds, the fatigue strength during the highly dynamic load high demands must be made in the operation must be extremely precise.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen den Diagonalstreben und den Querstreben zu vereinfachen und damit eine rationellere Fertigung zu ermöglichen und eine wesentlich sicherere Konstruktion der dynamisch hoch belasteten Gleiskonstruktion zu gewährleisten.The present invention has for its object to simplify the production of the connection between the diagonal braces and the cross braces and thus to allow a more rational production and to ensure a much safer construction of the dynamically highly loaded track construction.

In äußerst einfacher und überraschender Weise gelingt dies dadurch, dass gemäß vorliegender Erfindung die beidseitigen Enden der Diagonalstreben zur Bildung ebener, doppelwandiger Zungen abgeflacht werden. Diese Zungen können in sehr einfacher Weise auch bei relativ kompliziert verlaufenden Gleisen derart abgelängt werden, dass die Längskanten ihrer jeweils äußeren Stirnflächen parallel zu den Seitenflächen der Querstreben verlaufende, schmale, etwa rechteckförmige Stoßflächen bilden. Diese Stoßflächen können anders als die kreisringförmigen Stoßflächen der bisher üblichen Diagonalstreben zum einen wesentlich einfacher berechnet und zum anderen bei optimierter Schweißnahtvorbereitung, bei welcher Zuschnitt und Schweißnahtvorbereitung in einem einfachen Arbeitsgang realisierbar sind, mit weit geringerem Aufwand sicher mit den Querstreben verschweißt werden.In an extremely simple and surprising manner, this is achieved in that according to the present invention, the two-sided ends of the diagonal struts are flattened to form flat, double-walled tongues. These tongues can be cut in a very simple manner even with relatively complicated running tracks such that the longitudinal edges of their respective outer end faces parallel to the side surfaces of the transverse struts extending, narrow, approximately rectangular abutment surfaces. These abutment surfaces can be different than the annular abutment surfaces of the usual diagonal braces on the one hand much easier calculated and on the other hand with optimized weld preparation, in which blank and weld preparation can be realized in a simple operation, with much less effort safely welded to the crossbars.

Eine besonders einfache Konstruktion ergibt sich, wenn, wie mit Anspruch 2 angegeben, die Querstreben in an sich bekannter Weise einen rechteckigen Querschnitt und damit ebene Seitenflächen haben, mit welchen die abgeflachten Zungen der im Übrigen rohrförmigen Diagonalstreben stumpf verschweißt werden können.A particularly simple construction results when, as stated in claim 2, the cross struts in a conventional manner have a rectangular cross section and thus flat side surfaces with which the flattened tongues of the otherwise tubular diagonal struts can be butt welded.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist, dass, wie mit Anspruch 3 vorgeschlagen, die Zungen um die Strebenlängsachse der Diagonalstreben verdreht werden können, wodurch bei gekrümmtem Verlauf der Gleiselemente in einfacher Weise ein normgerechter Freiwinkel für die Schweißnahtvorbereitung erzielbar ist.Another advantage of the construction according to the invention is that, as proposed in claim 3, the tongues can be rotated about the strut longitudinal axis of the diagonal struts, whereby a curved course of the track elements in a simple manner a standard clearance angle for weld preparation can be achieved.

Nach dem Vorschlag gemäß Anspruch 4 sind die abgeflachten Zungen durch Kalt- oder Warmverformung, zum Beispiel durch Pressen oder Schmieden, hergestellt. Besonders vorteilhafte Dimensionierungen der Zungen und der Diagonalstreben sind mit den Ansprüchen 5 bis 7 angegeben.According to the proposal according to claim 4, the flattened tongues are produced by cold or hot working, for example by pressing or forging. Particularly advantageous dimensions of the tongues and the diagonal struts are given with the claims 5 to 7.

Es gelingt nach den Vorschlägen vorliegender Erfindung mit vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand, Gleiselemente herzustellen, mit welchen gemäß Anspruch 8 Achterbahnen mit bogenförmig in vertikaler und/oder horizontaler Richtung verlaufenden Gleisen, die darüber hinaus um die Längsachse schraubenförmig gewunden sind, bei niedrigen Herstellkosten und dennoch großer Sicherheit aufzubauen.It succeeds according to the proposals of the present invention with comparatively little effort to produce track elements with which according to claim 8 roller coasters with arcuately extending in the vertical and / or horizontal direction tracks, which are also helically wound around the longitudinal axis, with low production costs and yet great security build.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels im Einzelnen erläutert.The object of the invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings in detail.

Mit der Darstellung gemäß Figur 1 ist der sehr komplexe Aufbau einer modernen Achterbahn veranschaulicht. Diese besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem mit fachwerkartig ausgebildeten Gleiselementen zusammengesetzten Schienensystem, das nach Art einer Berg- und Talbahn in allen Richtungen bogenförmig gekrümmt und darüber hinaus in Fahrtrichtung schraubenförmig gewunden ist. Auf den Gleisen fahren mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten Fahrzeuge bzw. Züge, deren Fahrgestelle von den Gleisen geführt und gehalten werden. Bei Geschwindigkeiten von mehr als 100 km/h sind insbesondere bei räumlich stark gekrümmtem Trassenverlauf die Anforderungen an Stabilität und Sicherheit außerordentlich hoch. Dennoch ist eine kostengünstige und schnelle Fertigung derartiger Anlagen betriebswirtschaftlich gewünscht.With the representation according to FIG. 1 is the very complex structure of a modern roller coaster illustrated. This consists essentially of a truss-like track elements composite rail system curved in the manner of a roller coaster in all directions arcuate and beyond helically wound in the direction of travel. Vehicles or trains run at high speeds on the tracks, whose chassis are guided and held by the tracks. At speeds of more than 100 km / h, the requirements for stability and safety are extraordinarily high, especially in the case of a spatially highly curved route. Nevertheless, a cost-effective and fast production of such systems is economically desirable.

Wie Figur 1 ferner erkennen lässt, werden die Gleise von vertikalen Stützen getragen, die mit dem Untergrund verankert sind.As FIG. 1 can also be seen, the tracks are supported by vertical supports that are anchored to the ground.

Die das Schienensystem bildenden Gleise sind aus einzelnen Gleiselementen 10 zusammengesetzt, von welchen exemplarisch eines in Figur 2 gezeigt ist.The tracks forming the rail system are composed of individual track elements 10, one of which is exemplified in FIG FIG. 2 is shown.

Das Gleiselement 10 besteht aus im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufenden Gleisen 11, welche als Hohlprofil, nämlich als Metallrohr, ausgeführt sind. Zur Erhöhung von Stabilität und Steifigkeit ist ein in Form eines Zugrohres 12 ausgebildeter Längsträger vorgesehen, der bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel parallel zu den Gleisen 11 verläuft, jedoch je nach statischen Voraussetzungen bzw. aus optischen Gründen auch anders verlaufen kann. Die Enden des Zugrohres 12 sind mit Flanschen 15 ausgestattet, die der Verschraubung der Gleiselemente 10 miteinander dienen. Gleise 11 und Zugrohr 12 sind mit Querstreben 13 und Diagonalstreben 20 miteinander verbunden, wobei als Abstandhalter zwischen den Gleisen 11 Traversen 14 eingesetzt sind. Diese Elemente sind als Hohlprofile, nämlich Metallrohre, unterschiedlichen Querschnitts ausgebildet. Auch die Verwendung von Vollprofilen ist denkbar.The track element 10 consists of essentially mutually parallel tracks 11, which are designed as a hollow profile, namely as a metal tube. In order to increase stability and rigidity, a longitudinal member designed in the form of a draw tube 12 is provided, which runs parallel to the tracks 11 in the exemplary embodiment shown, but may also run differently depending on the static conditions or for optical reasons. The ends of the draw tube 12 are equipped with flanges 15, which serve to screw the track elements 10 together. Tracks 11 and drawtube 12 are connected to each other with transverse struts 13 and diagonal struts 20, wherein spacers 14 are used as spacers between the tracks 11. These elements are called hollow profiles, namely formed metal tubes, different cross-section. The use of solid profiles is conceivable.

Die Verbindung der Querstreben 13, der Diagonalstreben 20 sowie der Traversen 14 mit den Gleisen 11 und dem Zugrohr 12 bzw. miteinander erfolgt durch Schweißen. In Abständen sind in die Gleiselemente 10 Stützenanschlüsse 16 eingesetzt, welche mit Hilfe von Stützenköpfen 17, die in Figur 3 dargestellt sind, mit den in Figur 1 erkennbaren Stützen verbindbar sind.The connection of the transverse struts 13, the diagonal struts 20 and the trusses 14 with the tracks 11 and the draw tube 12 or together by welding. At intervals 10 support terminals 16 are used in the track elements, which by means of support heads 17, the in FIG. 3 are shown with the in FIG. 1 recognizable supports are connectable.

Die vergrößerte Teildarstellung gemäß Figur 3 lässt die Komplexität der Schweißkonstruktion des Gleiselementes 10 noch besser erkennen.The enlarged partial view according to FIG. 3 makes the complexity of the welded construction of the track element 10 even better.

Bei gekrümmten und gewundenen Trassenverläufen ist insbesondere die Verbindung der aus Metallrohren bestehenden Diagonalstreben 20 mit den gleichfalls als Hohlprofile ausgebildeten Querstreben 13 sowie den zwischen den Gleisen 11 angeordneten Traversen 14 schwierig. Wegen des gekrümmten bzw. in Fahrtrichtung schraubenförmig gewundenen Verlaufs der Gleise ergeben sich recht komplizierte Schnitte an der Stoßstelle zwischen den Diagonalstreben 20, den Querstreben 13 sowie den Traversen 14. Um eine einwandfreie, normgerechte Schweißnaht zu erhalten, müssen die Längskanten der Stirnflächen der Diagonalstreben 20 exakt parallel zu den Seitenflächen der Querstreben 13 bzw. Traversen 14 verlaufen. Bei Diagonalstreben mit flächigem, insbesondere kreisrundem Querschnitt ergeben sich relativ komplizierte Schnittverläufe. Auch ist die Planung und Erfassung der wahren Längen und Winkel sowie die Einhaltung und Ausführung des winkligen Anschlusses für eine normgerechte Schweißnahtvorbereitung wegen der mehrdimensionalen Schnittverläufe äußerst problematisch.In the case of curved and tortuous route courses, in particular the connection of the diagonal struts 20 consisting of metal pipes to the transverse struts 13, which are likewise designed as hollow profiles, and the crosspieces 14 arranged between the tracks 11 is difficult. Because of the curved or helical in the direction of travel course of the tracks are quite complicated cuts at the junction between the diagonal struts 20, the crossbars 13 and the trusses 14. To obtain a proper, standard-compliant weld, the longitudinal edges of the end faces of the diagonal struts 20th run exactly parallel to the side surfaces of the transverse struts 13 and traverses 14. In diagonal struts with a flat, in particular circular cross section results in relatively complicated cutting progressions. Also, the planning and recording of the true lengths and angles as well as the compliance and execution of the angled connection for a standard-compliant weld preparation is extremely problematic because of the multi-dimensional cutting progressions.

Eine wesentliche Vereinfachung und damit erhebliche Kosteneinsparung bei gleichbleibender oder erhöhter Sicherheit und Stabilität der Konstruktion ergibt sich, wenn gemäß der Erfindung die Enden der Diagonalstreben 20 in Form von Zungen 21 auslaufen, so dass sich an den Stoßstellen eine quasi linear verlaufende Stoßfläche 24 in Form eines schmalen Rechteckes mit abgerundeten Enden ergibt, wie dies die Detaildarstellung in Figur 7 und Figur 8 deutlich macht.Significant simplification and thus considerable cost savings at constant or increased safety and stability of the construction results when according to the invention, the ends of the diagonal struts 20 in the form of tongues 21 expire, so that at the joints a quasi linear extending abutment surface 24 in the form of a narrow rectangle with rounded ends gives, as the detail in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 makes it clear.

Eine derartige Strebe ist im Einzelnen mit den Figuren 4 bis 7 veranschaulicht. Sie ist aus einem Hohlprofil, nämlich einem Stahlrohr, hergestellt, dessen Enden durch Kalt- oder Warmverformung zu Zungen 21 abgeflacht sind. Hierbei ergibt sich zwischen dem rohrförmigem Mittelteil 23 und den flachen Zungen 21 ein kegelförmiger Übergang 22, welcher in den Mittelteil 23 tangential und in die Zungen 21 mit einem großen Radius übergeht. Der mit A in Figur 8 bezeichnete Übergangsbereich kann je nach statischen Erfordernissen unterschiedlich gestaltet werden.Such a strut is in detail with the FIGS. 4 to 7 illustrated. It is made of a hollow profile, namely a steel tube, the ends of which are flattened by cold or hot deformation to tongues 21. This results between the tubular central part 23 and the flat tongues 21, a conical transition 22, which merges into the central part 23 tangentially and into the tongues 21 with a large radius. The one with A in FIG. 8 designated transition area can be designed differently depending on static requirements.

Die Figuren 4 und 7 enthalten verschiedene Maßangaben, die sich aufgrund von Versuchen statisch bewährt haben. Vorteilhafte Dimensionierungsverhältnisse sind:The FIGS. 4 and 7 contain different dimensions that have been proven statically due to experiments. Advantageous dimensioning ratios are:

Länge der Zunge (21): Länge des Profilübergangs (22): Gesamtlänge der Diagonalstrebe (20) = 1:2:10.Length of the tongue (21): length of the profile transition (22): total length of the diagonal brace (20) = 1: 2: 10.

Wandstärke (a) der Diagonalstrebe (20) zu äußerem Rohrdurchmesser (b) = 1:10.Wall thickness (a) of the diagonal strut (20) to outer pipe diameter (b) = 1:10.

Für den tangentialen Übergang von Zunge 21 zu Mittelteil 23 im Bereich des Profilübergangs 22 ist ein Winkel α gegenüber der Strebenlängsachse 25, wie er in Figur 9 eingetragen ist, in der Größenanordnung von 20° zweckmäßig.For the tangential transition from tongue 21 to central part 23 in the region of the profile transition 22, an angle α with respect to Strut longitudinal axis 25, as in FIG. 9 is registered, in the order of 20 ° appropriate.

Die quasi linear oder eindimensional verlaufende Stirnfläche 24 kann je nach dem Verlauf der Seitenflächen der Querstreben 13 bzw. 14 unterschiedliche Anschlusswinkel β in Bezug auf die Strebenlängsachse 25 haben (vgl. Figur 8). Der Winkel kann rechnerisch oder auch experimentell derart ermittelt werden, dass die Stoßfläche 24 unabhängig von der Krümmung bzw. Verwindung des Gleiselementes 10 stets parallel zur Seitenfläche der Querstrebe 13 bzw. der Traverse 14 verläuft, so dass eine sehr einfach herzustellende und hoch belastbare Schweißverbindung ermöglicht wird.The quasi-linear or one-dimensionally extending end face 24 may, depending on the course of the side faces of the transverse struts 13 and 14, have different connection angles β with respect to the strut longitudinal axis 25 (cf. FIG. 8 ). The angle can be calculated or experimentally determined such that the impact surface 24 always parallel to the side surface of the cross member 13 and the cross member 14 regardless of the curvature or distortion of the track element 10, so that allows a very easy to produce and highly durable welded joint becomes.
