Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roller coaster vehicle which is guided along a rail structure running in a two- or three-dimensional plane and which has a passenger seat which can be interactively pivoted about at least one axis of rotation.
  • roller coaster vehicles are open wagons that are connected to an articulated train and are motor-driven raised or shot up from a starting point to a starting height along a three-dimensional rail structure and then return to the starting point along the structure of the roller coaster essentially solely by gravity and centrifugal force.
  • a roller coaster can also contain intermediate drives that can accelerate the roller coaster vehicle again.
  • Roller coaster vehicles are also subject to constant change and modernization, in which the vehicle structures were dissolved and individual seats were attached to a train chassis, whereby the individual seats can be arranged to the side of the towing vehicle chassis, so that passengers on the seats have a clear view downwards.
  • this type of arrangement of passenger seats requires special safety measures, such as restraint bars.
  • a roller coaster vehicle has become known in which seats are used which are arranged on the vehicle chassis and each have electric drives in order to be able to rotate the seat about a vertical axis while driving.
  • the shell-like seats can be pivoted about a horizontal axis.
  • the operation for pivoting or rotating the passenger seat is carried out by means of an operating element on the vehicle seat, which is designed as a joystick, for example.
  • the present invention provides a roller coaster vehicle according to claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating the possibility, in a roller coaster vehicle that is guided along a rail structure running in a two- or three-dimensional plane and is provided with rotatable or pivotable passenger seats, to perform rollover movements along a horizontal axis in a simple manner .
  • the rotation about the horizontal axis of rotation is influenced by the force of an air flow along adjustable air guide vanes on the vehicle.
  • the passenger in the passenger seat can preferably control the rotation manually.
  • the rotation can preferably be set or limited as a function of the route section traveled. In sections of the route with high acceleration or centrifugal forces, it can make sense to limit the rotation to pivoting for safety reasons.
  • This safety setting can also be carried out with the assistance of a servo, so that the passenger, who cannot immediately recognize the hazard potential, is prevented from turning around in dangerous situations or from believed him to initiate extreme situations that endanger himself.
  • the passenger seats are preferably attached to the chassis offset in the transverse direction of the vehicle. This means that they hang freely next to the rail structure.
  • the pivoting or rotation of the vehicle seats takes place in a plane which runs at an angle of 90 ° to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle or the rail structure.
  • the passenger seat In order to enable the passenger seat to be rotated only while driving, the passenger seat is moved into an initial position when the vehicle reaches the end point of a journey. This can be done by actuating an actuator which, for. B. suitably adjusts the wing position of the air guide vanes or by overcoming the aerodynamic force of the air guide vanes by motor power, the aerodynamic force being negligible in any case when a slow speed or a standstill is reached.
  • an initial position of the vehicle seat in the upright position is nevertheless necessary.
  • the vehicle preferably has sensors in order to determine the respective location at which the vehicle is currently located. This is not only useful for determining the end point of the route, but also for certain intermediate points of the route at which an intervention in the wing position of the air guide vanes is necessary or useful.
  • the passenger seat is attached with its rear end to an axis of rotation that something is above the center of gravity of a large and heavy passenger in order to prevent a passenger seat from tipping over in the free-running position.
  • the passenger seat is attached with its rear end to an axis of rotation that something is above the center of gravity of a large and heavy passenger in order to prevent a passenger seat from tipping over in the free-running position.
  • the air guide vanes or the actuating lever for actuating the air guide vanes are preferably under spring force, the air guide vanes being pretensioned in the rest position. A deflection of the air guide vanes therefore requires active actuation of a control stick.
  • an additional rotation about a vertical axis in a horizontal plane can take place.
  • Such a rotation can also take place mechanically, in that the passenger seat operates an additional air deflector attached to the vehicle in the manner of a rudder of an aircraft.
  • the invention provides a roller coaster vehicle in a simple manner which allows rotating or pivoting of passenger seats solely in a manual manner, the movement being able to be controlled interactively by the passenger himself.
  • Fig. 1 several seats 3 are each attached to a chassis 2.
  • the chassis 2 are articulated to one another via longitudinal members 4 and coupling connections 5 and run along a rail 1, the seats 3 being arranged in two parallel rows of 6 seats each, which are fastened to the respective chassis 2 via seat holders 6.
  • Fig. 2 shows a corresponding view of Fig. 1 in plan view, ie rotated by 90 ° in a vertical plane.
  • the view shows that six seats 3 are arranged on both sides of the rail 1, so that the entire roller coaster vehicle contains a total of twelve individual seats. These are located to the side of the rail 1 in a hanging arrangement, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows the course of the roller coaster vehicle on a convex curved track section with a rail 1, it being clear that the individual seats and chassis are connected to one another in an articulated manner via the longitudinal members 4 and the couplings 5.
  • Fig. 4 Shows accordingly Fig. 4 the course of a roller coaster vehicle on a concave curved track section.
  • the roller coaster vehicle can therefore be operated in both concave and convex tight curves.
  • Fig. 5 shows another view with a horizontally curved track section, in which it is clear that tight lateral arcs can also be mastered as long as the "work space" of a seat 3 does not impair the corresponding adjacent "work space” of an adjacent seat.
  • Fig. 6 shows a side view of an individual seat 3, which is fastened via the seat holder 6 to a chassis 2 which runs on the rail 1 of the roller coaster, which is only shown schematically.
  • the chassis 2 contains wheel sets known per se, which encompass the running rails above, below and laterally.
  • the upper support wheel 7 essentially bears the weight of the chassis 2 and the seat 3, while the support wheel 9 on the underside serves to prevent the seat arrangement from lifting off the running rail.
  • the support wheel 23 takes over the lateral securing.
  • the seat 3 is fastened to the seat holder 6 via a horizontal, essentially free-running axis of rotation 17.
  • the seat has customary personal security devices 24 for a person 25.
  • the seat 3 can thus be pivoted along the axis 17, specifically in a plane transverse to the direction of travel.
  • Fig. 7 shows the seat arrangement in front view.
  • the path of the roller coaster structure is essentially formed by a triangular frame structure with an upper main rail 20 and two lower running rails 13, 21.
  • the seat arrangement is mounted on the running rails 13 and 21 via a wheel set bearing.
  • the set of wheels consists of pairs of upper support wheels 7 and 8, pairs of lower support wheels 9 and 10 and lateral support wheels 22 and 23.
  • all degrees of freedom of the chassis 2 are fixed on the rail structure.
  • the cross member 11 is attached, the lateral ends of which merge into the seat holder 6 and 12, which are directed downwards.
  • the actual seats are attached to the lower ends of the seat holders 6 and 12 via the horizontal axes of rotation 16 and 17 directed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • the seats can be pivoted about the axes of rotation 16 and 17 or they can also be deflected by more than 360 °.
  • the seat Since the fulcrum of the axes of rotation 16 and 17 is more or less above the center of gravity, which is due to the seat and the person on it, the seat hangs downwards or in the direction of centrifugal force when it is at rest, and if its movement is not braked, he can also swing back and forth. In the case of lateral forces, such as B. centrifugal forces that occur in horizontal curves of the roller coaster, the seats are thus strongly deflected.
  • each passenger seat has a control device, e.g. B. in the form of a joystick, via which two air guide blades 18 and 19 attached to the side of the seat can be tilted up or down.
  • the air guide vanes are attached at their front or rear transverse end to a transverse axis of the seat and are moved synchronously in opposite directions via lever rods or cables.
  • the joystick is deflected in a lateral direction, one air guide vane moves upwards and the other air guide vane downwards, so that air flowing along the air guide vanes exerts a force on the air guide vanes that is transmitted to the seat.
  • the seat is pivoted.
  • the joystick, the lever linkage or the air guide vanes are pretensioned in the rest position via a spring arrangement, so that when the joystick is released, the air guide vanes return to their starting position.
  • the swiveling or rotation of the seat is not limited by stops, rollover can also be made while driving. In certain driving sections, however, this could result in unauthorized situations, so that measures are provided in order to limit the rotation or pivoting to z. B. to provide ⁇ 20 ° or ⁇ 45 °.
  • sensors are provided on the seats or the roller coaster vehicle which, when approaching a corresponding section of the route, ensure that the pivoting movement of the individual seats is limited or that these are transferred to a certain safe position. After leaving the critical route section, the movements can also be released again.
  • the air guide vanes are reset when the roller coaster vehicle approaches the end point of the route in order to ensure that the seat is in a position of rest for passengers to get on and off.
  • the seat can also be reset when driving slowly and thus insufficient pressure on the air guide vanes.
  • Fig. 7 In the illustration on the right, it is shown that the passenger seat can assume a number of different positions that can be reached when pivoting or rotating by means of the air guide vanes.
  • the basic principle of the invention consists in manual control when swiveling or rotating passenger seats
  • the rotation or swiveling can also be supported by a motor drive, in particular by a servo control. This makes it possible to provide the pivoting or rotation also in those areas of the route in which the roller coaster vehicle has not yet reached sufficient speed to effect a rotation by influencing the air flow due to displaced air guide vanes.
  • the seat holders 6 and 12 are not made in one piece, rigid, but have an axial rotary coupling, it can also be made possible to rotate the vehicle about a vertical axis. Such a rotation can also be brought about by air flow by using an air guide wing 26 in the form of a rudder on the vehicle, which can also be connected to the joystick via a linkage.
  • the direction of movement of the joystick for the aileron is at a 90 ° angle to the direction of movement for the rudder. Even when using a rudder, suitable measures must be taken in order to be able to maintain safety along the entire route.
  • a further possibility of movement can be achieved if a pendulum movement of the seat about a horizontal or vertical axis is permitted and / or carried out in a controlled manner.
  • the seating arrangements can be designed in different ways. Open seat gondolas or closed seat gondolas can be used. If the route of a roller coaster is chosen so that the seats in certain sections of the route are relatively close to an obstacle such as a water basin, it can either be left to the passenger to use the water z. B. to touch with your feet or to avoid the obstacle.
  • Evasive maneuvers can also be controlled by a motor, in that the additionally available motorized control system specifies a special position of the seat for the area of the particular route section, e.g. B. a horizontal position.
  • the vehicle is driven by means of friction wheels, linear motors or chains, as is customary for roller coasters on certain sections of the route, or by the vehicle's own drive.
