EP3068506B1 - Amusement park ride with movable track section - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an amusement device, in particular for fairs and amusement parks according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the invention relates to a, for example, rail-guided, track section of an amusement ride.

Amusement devices for rides often provide the construction of fixed rail routes, on which, such as roller coasters, vehicles are moved led. The DE 198 09 641 A1 discloses, for example, such an amusement ride, in which a passenger gondola passes track sections with a lane of varying pitch. The roadway has two substantially vertically upwardly projecting track sections, which are interconnected by a substantially semicircular arc section in a vertical plane. With such amusement tracks, a fatigue effect often sets in relatively quickly, especially as a result of the periodically recurring up and down movement for the passenger.

In order to increase the incentive for the customer or passenger, one has therefore begun to make the train movable. For example, the EP 1 364 691 B1 a track piece arranged on a rocker, on which a carriage with passengers travels from one end to the other end and back to one end, wherein the roadway is pivoted back and forth about a single pivot axis, similar to a rocker. Even with such a path, the user quickly experiences a fatigue effect because the movements follow a periodic and immediately known pattern. The railway line on which the car drives is by the shape of the rail and the fixed pivot axis about which the web is pivoted determined.

Object of the following invention is therefore to provide an amusement device in which the trajectory is not so easily predictable for the passenger, and so the passenger can offer very special highlights.

This object is achieved by an amusement device according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims.

The amusement device has a guideway having a first pivot axis for movably guiding the guideway and a second pivot axis for movably guiding the guideway. Furthermore, the amusement device on a first movable holder and a second movable holder. The guideway is movably and pivotally supported on the first pivot axis with the first movable support, and movably and pivotally supported on the second pivot axis with the second movable support.

According to the invention, the first pivot axis (6) is pivotable about at least a first axial direction, and the second pivot axis is pivotable about at least a second axial direction. The trajectory is then not readily predictable for the passenger, which can offer special moments of surprise. Thus, such a movable guideway, for example, be set so that it tilts, causing the passenger gets the impression his vehicle and he fall off track, which in particular at high altitudes above the ground or in water pools can provide especially enjoyable moments for the passenger.

The axis of the first axial direction may be arranged outside the guideway, for example movably, so that the first pivot axis is pivotable about the axis of the first axial direction. The axis of the second axial direction may be arranged outside the guideway, for example movably, such that the second pivot axis is pivotable about the axis of the second axial direction. As a result, for example, a translational movement of the guideway are made possible. The first holder and the second holder need only be coupled to one another via the first and the second pivot axis and the guide track. They can otherwise be moved independently.

Advantageously, the pivot axes of the amusement device are also movable so that the guideway is moved translationally. The passenger then gets the impression that suddenly no longer the vehicle in which he is, but the rail moves, which can provide for further moments of surprise. For example, with this effect in a rail arranged in a water reservoir, rocking on large waves can be simulated, which is not possible with devices which can simply perform rocking movements.

The first axial direction may be perpendicular to the direction of the guide track on the first pivot axis facing, for example, on the first pivot axis, is arranged.

An embodiment of the inventive amusement device has a guideway having a first pivot axis to movably guiding the guideway, wherein the guideway is movably supported on the first pivot axis with a first holder, and wherein the first pivot axis further arranged in a first axial direction, perpendicular to the direction of the guideway on the first pivot axis, facing and movable perpendicular to the first axial direction is. According to the invention, the guideway has a second pivot axis for movably guiding the guideway, wherein the guideway is movably supported on the second pivot axis with a second support, and the second pivot axis points in a second axial direction perpendicular to the direction of the guideway on the second pivot axis arranged and is movable perpendicular to the second axial direction.

For example, such a track may mimic the actual rocking of a ship on large shafts, as opposed to a rocking device that only reciprocates.

The guideway has at least one movably guided vehicle held on the guideway. Such amusement device provides additional moments of surprise for the passenger in the vehicle, because from the current course of the guideway can not be closed to the actual course of the path of the vehicle. In contrast to a web which is arranged on a simple rocker, the passenger can not close by the mere inclusion of a rocking motion on the course of the track of the vehicle. It can be provided in this way additional moments of surprise for the passenger.

In an inventive embodiment, the guideway between the first and second pivot axes is parallel to a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the first Swivel axis runs, arranged. The guideway may, for example, be rectilinear between the first and the second pivot axis. Thus, while the passenger is traveling on the rail, their inclination can be variably adjusted by means of the two pivot axes. The passenger then sees a straight piece of track which, as it drives on, changes its pitch. Of course, the guideway can also run wound, wherein wounded in this context means that the guideway is twisted at least piecewise in itself, or that the guideway about a straight axis, for example on the mantle surface of a cylinder, the cylinder axis, the rectilinear axis at least piecewise, helically wound, is arranged.

The first and / or the second pivot axis can be parallel and movable relative to the direction of the guideway. As a result, for example, an additional degree of freedom is created when the guideway is moved, for example with lifting rods.

The first axial direction is arranged parallel to the second axial direction in a preferred embodiment.

The supports of the guideway are arranged adjacent to one another, wherein the first holder of the guideway is arranged adjacent to the second holder of the guideway. Between the first and the second holder, the guideway has no, the position of the guideway relative to the site of the guideway fixing, preferably no further support, but at least no stationary support. Since the guideway between the first and the second pivot axis has no fixed axial support, for a passenger can also feel a collapsing Track can be realized, for example, the fact that both pivot axes move down simultaneously. The guideway is carried freely between the first holder and the second holder in this case.

The first holder is formed for example by a first lifting rod or by first lifting rods, which are arranged pivotably on the first pivot axis. The second holder can be formed by a second lifting rod, or by second lifting rods, which are arranged pivotably on the second pivot axis.

In order to provide a relatively simple amusement device, the first lifting rod or the first lifting rods may be connected to a stationary motor drive, or alternatively to a motor drive guided on a stationary rail, which changes the angle of the first lifting rods relative to the guide track when he is on. Such a motor can, for example, move the ends of the first lifting rod / lifting rods opposite the pivoting axis along a bottom rail fixedly connected to the ground, thereby changing the angle between the first lifting rod / rods and the bottom rails, which changes the web height and can cause web inclination of the guideway. In order to change the web height and the web inclination of the guide track, the first and / or second lifting rods can also or additionally be guided in a respectively fixedly fixed, pivotable guide sleeve.

Of course, the first and / or second brackets can also be other fixed or adjustable coupling elements, such as connecting rods, shears or the like.

In an advantageous embodiment, the first and / or second lifting rods on lifting cylinders, or they are connected to lifting cylinders. If the lifting rods have lifting cylinders, the raising and lowering of the guide track can also take place, for example, without further drive.

In order to be able to accelerate or decelerate the guided on the guide rails vehicle quickly, the vehicle has, for example, wheels with which it is movable on the guide rail. The vehicle may further include a drive motor and / or brakes. This makes it possible to accelerate the vehicle regardless of the course of the guideway and / or decelerate.
The guideway may have a backstop to hold the guided on her vehicle at a certain point. Such a backstop creates a further tension effect for the passenger.

The guideway is preferably, at least partially, arranged in a water reservoir, wherein it is at least partially disposed below the water level of the water reservoir. The guideway can be arranged completely running in the water and run, for example, below the water level. The guide track may for example also be moved into the water reservoir and moved out of the water reservoir. It is also possible that the guideway in the water reservoir, for example, parallel to the water surface, is rotated, or tilted in the water reservoir, for example, to simulate the feeling of falling out. A combination with water gives the passenger an additional fun point.

The vehicle is therefore advantageously a boat in this case. The movable guideway can then convey the feel of a ship floating on high waves.

The guideway can also be designed, for example, as a watercraft itself. The first moveable mount could be a first rope attached to the craft, the second moveable mount could be a second rope attached to the craft. In this case, the vessel could be movably mounted in a water reservoir filled with water and pulled by the first and / or second rope. The two ropes may be attached to winches arranged so that the vessel may be tilted so that the vessel may be entered, for example, by being tilted toward the inlet, as shown in more detail in one of the following embodiments is explained.

The vehicle is advantageously moved from one end of the guideway to the other end of the guideway. This also provides for Kurzweil, as the entire train and not just a section of it is traveled. In a preferred amusement device, therefore, the guideway is connected at one of its ends to another guide rail when the vehicle has reached the at least one end of the guideway. The vehicle then performs no reciprocating movement on the guideway, but moves in a predetermined direction and only once on the moving guideway and from there to the other guide rail.

In a further embodiment, the guide rail may be formed as a water slide. It can then several, preferably arranged parallel to each other, as individual slides has trained fairways. Each of the fairway can have one or more different deep wells. Thus, each of the fairways, for example, a passenger, but optionally also several passengers, for example, on a hoop, record or provided for a single passenger. On such a waterslide several people can slide down the waterslide next to each other. The sliding speed can be controlled in one embodiment over the individual grooves, preferably separately, deliverable amounts of water. In addition, such a waterslide, for example, in the sliding direction during slipping by changing its inclination according to the present invention, can cause the slipping speed of the passenger to be further increased or decreased. Thus, for example, competitions between slipping on different individual slides arranged passengers can be played. In the embodiment where the depths of the individual troughs of adjacent individual chutes are different, the passenger's neighbor may temporarily disappear for the passenger and then reappear suddenly, which may be an additional thrilling moment in a trip together. A possible expression would also be a Abklatschmöglichkeit with the each slide section acknowledged and can be displayed in a competition counter.

At the ends of the guide rail designed as a water slide with a plurality of individual slides, runouts or braking distances can be formed, so that the passenger can automatically slip out from a certain height of the guide rail. Optionally, additional holding devices or automatically controllable gates can also be provided.
Safety nets may be provided on the sides of the guide rail and / or at their ends.

The movement effects of the guide rail, for example the water slide, can be freely programmable, so that different movement sequences can be realized.

The terms used in the following description, such as top, bottom, left and right and the like, refer to embodiments and are not intended to be limiting in any way, even if they refer to a preferred embodiment.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.

The FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional side view of an amusement device 1 at a certain time with a guideway 2 on which a vehicle 4 is guided guided. The guideway 2 is at a first pivot axis 6 and at a second pivot axis 8 with brackets 10, 12 are provided. The first pivot axis 6 is movably supported by the first holder 10, the second pivot axis 8 is movably supported by the second holder 12. In the example illustrated, the first holder 10 is a first lifting rod 10 and the second holder 12 is a second lifting rod 12. A first motor drive 14 is arranged on the end of the first lifting rod 10 opposite the pivot axis 6. A second motor drive 16 is arranged on the second pivot axis 8 opposite end of the lifting rod 12. The two motors 14, 16 are designed as linear motors, which are movable in a firmly connected to the ground floor rail 18, which is formed in a recess 20 of the amusement device 1, back and forth. When the two linear motors 14, 16 in the bottom rail 18 move towards each other, the angle between the roadway 2 and the first lifting rod 10 and the angle between the roadway 2 and the second lifting rod 12 changes. The lifting rods in the present example have a fixed length, but they could also have a variable length. By changing the angle between the web 2 and the lifting rods 10, 12, the web 2 is movably guided on the first pivot axis 6 and on the second pivot axis 8. A left web support 22 and a right web support 24 ensure that the guideway 2 can be pivoted movably between the two web support points. A left stop edge 26 and a right stop edge 28 ensure in the present embodiment that the vehicle 4 can not leave the lane 2.

Of course, it is also possible to provide the amusement device 1 as a section of a longer track section. Thus, for example, instead of the left stop edge 26 at one end of the guideway 2, a first guide rail is provided may be, from which the vehicle 4 on the track piece, the guideway 2 passes. Once the vehicle 4 is on the guideway 2, the guideway 2 can be lifted by means of the lifting devices 10, 12, 14, 16, for example, on the left side. Optionally, as long as the guideway 2 is raised, the vehicle 4 is held at a certain location on the guideway 2, and then released. The vehicle 4 can then drive the guideway 2 to the other end. At the moment when the vehicle 4 reaches the other end of the guideway 2, the guideway 2 is connected to a second guide rail, so that the vehicle 4 can proceed immediately on the second guide rail. In this way, many additional interesting effects could be incorporated into a web.

The guideway 2 may, for example, while it is tilted, are passed directly into a water reservoir, so that it is finally at least partially disposed below the water level of the water reservoir. The vehicle 4, for example, moving from left to right, which may be designed as a boat, can then continue on the rail 2 directly in the water.

The invention has been explained with reference to preferred embodiments without being limited to these embodiments. The features of the individual embodiments are freely combinable or exchangeable with functionally equivalent features of other embodiments, provided that compatibility exists.

Thus, for example, the vehicle, if it has arrived at one end of the guideway 2, via a backstop be held redundant and, for example, be automatically disengaged when reaching the high point.

The movement of the pivot points 6, 8 can be done for example via lifting cylinders or connecting rods or ropes. The lifting rods 10, 12 can be arranged aligned parallel to each other and coupled with each other, for example, with crossbars of a fixed length.

Instead of, or in addition to, one or more linear motor drive / motor drives, the amusement device may include a pneumatic device for raising and lowering the first and second pivot points.

The guideway 2 may also have additional weights between the first pivot axis 6 and the second pivot axis 8 to ensure that the center of gravity of the guideway 2 in any case, regardless of the current position of the vehicle 4 and regardless of the current position of the guideway 2 between the two pivot axes 6 and 8 is located.

Many such or similar embodiments of the movable guideway 2 are familiar to the person skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept.

FIG. 2 shows two as scissor mechanisms that can stabilize the stroke direction of the lifting cylinder 30. Such mechanisms may be provided, for example, as lifting mechanisms for the movement of the guideway 2.

The left version of FIG. 2 shows a lifting cylinder 30 which is connected to a first scissor arm 32 at a hinge point 33. The first scissor arm 32 is at a hinge point 34 hingedly connected to a second scissor arm 36. The second scissor arm 36 is hingedly attached to the other end of the lift cylinder 30 at a fixed fixation 38. The pivot point 34 may, for example, in a guide groove (not shown) of a stationary plate (not shown) are guided, so that the lifting device is actuated so that the pivot point 33 is obliquely up and down movable.

The right version of FIG. 2 shows the example of another lifting mechanism. The scissor arms 40, 41 are hinged together at a hinge point 42. The scissor arms 43, 44 are hingedly connected to a further articulation point 45 designed as a stationary fixation. The scissor arms 40, 43 are connected via a hinge point 46 hingedly connected to the lifting cylinder 47. The scissor arms 41 and 44 are articulated via a hinge point 48 also connected to the lifting cylinder 47. By changing the stroke of the lifting cylinder 47 so, for example, the distance between the hinge points 42 and 45 can be varied.

FIG. 3 shows a further inventive amusement device 1 in a cross section perpendicular to the direction of movement of the passenger 50. The amusement device 1 has a designed as a water slide 51 guideway 2, which has a plurality of parallel juxtaposed, designed as individual slides Fahrrinnen 52a, 52b, 52c, 52d. Each fairway 52a, 52b, 52c, 52d has one or more wells 54 of different depths (shown by dashed lines) in the direction of travel. The water slide 51 also has at its lateral boundaries safety nets 56, which, for example, when the slide moves laterally, ensure that the passengers can not fall out. The waterslide 50 is further mounted in a bottom shell 58 which is anchored in this embodiment with ground anchors 59 on the ground, movable. Alternatively, the water slide 51 may also be firmly connected to the bottom shell 58. The bottom shell 58 may alternatively have instead of ground anchors 59 also movable lifting cylinder, which can move the bottom shell 58 relative to the ground.

FIG. 4 shows a side view of the water slide along the direction of movement of the passenger 50. About an inlet 60 of the water slide 51, which may be formed slightly widened, the passenger 50, for example, in a watercraft, or sitting on the bottom of the water slide 50 move can, guided on a fairway 52a of the water slide 50, and then along the direction of movement (in Figure 4 from right to left, and / or from left to right) the fairway 52 a, which has a first number of different deep wells 54 (in FIG. 4 dashed lines drawn). At the end of the fairway 52a, the passenger 50 exits the water slide 51 via an outlet 62 designed as a braking path. A second passenger can be directed via the inlet 60, for example, to the fairway 52b of the water slide 50, and then along the direction of movement the fairway 52b, which a second number of differently deep wells 54, (in FIG. 4 likewise drawn by dashed lines). In this way, several passengers can ride side by side in different fairways at different speeds the water slide.

In a preferred embodiment, the individual fairways 52a, 52b, 52c, 52d of the water chute 51 can be charged with different amounts of water per unit of time to speed up, for example, the passenger 50 more or less. In an advantageous embodiment, the passenger could self-regulate the amount of water on his roadway while driving the fairway itself, for example via mounted on the fairway, touchable while driving sensor elements.

From the embodiments explained above, it is clear that the guideway 2 can rotate both in the longitudinal direction and / or in its height and / or around itself, so that a passenger in the vehicle 4 experiences apparently undefined sequences of movements with a corresponding arrangement of the lifting device explained. Although it is always mentioned in the aforementioned embodiments that the entire amusement device 1 is placed on a fixed platform with a bottom rail 18, it is of course also possible that the bottom rail 18 is mounted on a rotating platform.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of another embodiment of the inventive amusement device. A guideway (2) constructed as a watercraft (2) is pivotally attached to the first pivot (6) on a first support (10) designed as a first cable (10). The first pivot axis (6) is designed as a cable duct (6) formed at one end of the watercraft (2). The first cable pull can be connected, for example, to a first cable winch (not shown). The second pivot axis (8) can be formed at the other end of the watercraft (2) as a second cable feedthrough (8) and attached to a second cable pull (12) designed as a second movable support (12). The second cable (12) is with a second Cable winch (64) connected. The watercraft (2) is floating on a water surface (66).

So that the passengers (50) can reach the vessel (2) via a landing gear (68) and the inlet (60), the second cable (12) is directed to the second winch (64), which in the embodiment below the water surface (66 ) is arranged, as far as rolled up, that the jetty (68) and the inlet (60) of the watercraft (2) are arranged approximately at the same height above the water surface (66). A buffer (70) ensures that by a reciprocating motion of the vessel (2) on the water surface (66) the vessel (2) is not damaged at the edge of the landing gear (68). The passenger (50) then passes, for example, on or with a hoop, on the inlet part of the watercraft (2). For additional Bespaßung the passenger (50), the watercraft (2), for example, as a water slide (2), for example, as in the embodiment of FIG. 4 be educated. Once the passenger (50) has reached the inlet (60) of the vessel (2), the second cable (12) is rapidly unwound from the second winch (64), thus the inlet (60) of the vessel (2) upwards pivots and the passenger (50), for example, the guideway (2) along the outlet (62) slips or can slip. For example, while the second winch (64) is being unwound quickly, the first winch can be wound up quickly so that the passenger (50), via the outlet (62), places the vessel (2) on a side of the water surface opposite the landing stage another jetty the watercraft (2) can leave again.

Of course, it is also possible that by multiple reciprocation of the watercraft (2) of the passenger (50) the guideway (2) is repeatedly moved back and forth and thrown, for example, at the end of the Bespaßung over the outlet (62) into the water (66).

The invention has been explained with reference to preferred embodiments, without being limited to these embodiments. The features of individual embodiments can be freely combined with features of other embodiments to form new embodiments, provided that compatibility exists. For example, the vessel could be in FIG. 5 as a waterslide as in FIG. 4 or as a guideway like in FIG. 1 with, for example, a vehicle (4) in which the passenger sits, be formed. The in FIG. 5 For example, illustrated first and / or second cable could also be replaced by a lifting device with lifting cylinders. Numerous modifications and refinements of the device according to the invention are possible for the person skilled in the art without departing from the inventive idea.
