Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein System zur Steuerung einer Nutzung einer Übung durch eine Person in einem Kletterpark. Ferner betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Systems zur Steuerung einer Nutzung einer Übung durch eine Person in einem Kletterpark.The present invention relates to a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park. The present invention further relates to a method for operating a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park.
In Kletterparks und insbesondere in Seilgärten gibt es regelmäßig Übungen, welche von nicht mehr als einer Person gleichzeitig genutzt werden dürfen. So kann es sein, dass eine Übung nur für das Gewicht von einer Person ausgelegt ist und Überlastung verhindert werden muss.In climbing parks and especially in rope courses, there are regular exercises that may not be used by more than one person at a time. So it can be that an exercise is only designed for the weight of one person and overloading must be prevented.
Eine Übung kann zum Beispiel eine Seilrutsche (Flyingfox) aufweisen, welche niemals von zwei oder mehreren Teilnehmer gleichzeitig genutzt werden darf, da es dadurch zu gefährlichen Zusammenstößen kommen kann.An exercise can, for example, have a zip line (Flyingfox), which may never be used by two or more participants at the same time, as this can lead to dangerous collisions.
Somit ist es notwendig, dass in Kletterparks strenge Sicherheitsregeln eingehalten werden, um eine ausreichende Sicherheit während den Übungen zu gewährleisten.It is therefore necessary to adhere to strict safety rules in climbing parks to ensure adequate safety during the exercises.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Überwachungssystem zu schaffen, mit dem die Belegung einer Übung eines Kletterparks detektiert werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a monitoring system with which the occupancy of an exercise in a climbing park can be detected.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem System zur Steuerung einer Nutzung einer Übung durch eine Person insbesondere in einem Kletterpark und mit einemThis task is accomplished with a system for controlling a person's use of an exercise, in particular in a climbing park, and with a
Verfahren zum Betreiben des Systems gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst.Method for operating the system according to the independent claims.
Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein System zur Steuerung einer Nutzung einer Übung durch eine Person insbesondere in einem Kletterpark (z.B. einem Seilgarten, eines Abenteuerwaldes, eines Hochseilgartens, eines Kletterwaldes) oder in Bereichen der Arbeitssicherheit beschrieben. Der Kletterpark weist ein Führungselement (beispielsweise ein Stahlseil) auf, das sich entlang einer Längsrichtung erstreckt und entlang welchem sich eine Person zwischen einem Einhängebereich des Führungselements und einem Aushängebereich des Führungselements bewegen kann, wobei in dem Einhängebereich ein Identifizierungsbereich ausgebildet ist.According to a first aspect of the present invention, a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person is described in particular in a climbing park (e.g. a rope garden, an adventure forest, a high rope garden, a climbing forest) or in areas of occupational safety. The climbing park has a guide element (for example a steel cable) which extends along a longitudinal direction and along which a person can move between a hanging area of the guide element and a hanging area of the guide element, an identification area being formed in the hanging area.
Das System weist eine Sicherungsvorrichtung zum Sichern einer Person an dem Führungselement auf, wobei die Sicherungsvorrichtung entlang dem Führungselement zwischen dem Einhängebereich und dem Aushängebereich verschiebbar anbringbar ist. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich ist an das Führungselement einhängbar und in dem Aushängebereich von dem Führungselement aushängbar.The system has a securing device for securing a person to the guide element, the securing device being slidably attachable along the guide element between the hanging area and the hanging area. The securing device in the hook-in area can be hooked onto the guide element and can be hooked out of the guide element in the hook-out area.
Ferner weist das System eine Identifizierungsvorrichtung auf, welche derart konfiguriert ist, dass mittels der Identifizierungsvorrichtung zumindest ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Identifizierungsbereichs identifizierbar ist, sodass damit eine Belegung des Führungselements mit einer anderen Person identifizierbar ist.Furthermore, the system has an identification device which is configured in such a way that by means of the identification device at least one attachment of the security device within the identification area can be identified, so that an occupancy of the guide element with another person can thus be identified.
Ferner weist das System eine Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung (im Folgenden auch Schlüsselvorrichtung genannt) auf, welche mit der Identifizierungsvorrichtung derart steuerbar ist, dass die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung in einen Freigabemodus und, bei Identifizierung der Belegung des Führungselements mit einer anderen Person, in einen Blockiermodus verstellbar ist. Die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung ist mit der Sicherungsvorrichtung derart gekoppelt, dass in dem Blockiermodus ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich und/oder ein Verschieben bzw. Bewegen der Sicherungsvorrichtung entlang des Führungselements blockiert ist.Furthermore, the system has a security device handling device (hereinafter also referred to as a key device), which can be controlled with the identification device in such a way that the Safety device handling device in a release mode and, if the occupancy of the guide element with another person is identified, in a blocking mode is adjustable. The securing device handling device is coupled to the securing device in such a way that in the blocking mode, a hanging of the securing device in the hanging area and / or a displacement or movement of the securing device along the guide element is blocked.
Gemäß eines weiteren Aspekts der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Verfahren zum Betreiben des oben beschriebenen Systems zur Steuerung einer Nutzung einer Übung durch eine Person in einem Kletterpark beschrieben. Gemäß dem Verfahren wird ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Identifizierungsbereichs mittels der Identifizierungsvorrichtung identifiziert, sodass damit eine Belegung des Führungselements mit einer anderen Person identifizierbar ist. Ferner wird die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung mit der Identifizierungsvorrichtung in den Freigabemodus oder, falls das Führungselement mit einer anderen Person belegt ist, in den Blockiermodus gesteuert.According to a further aspect of the present invention, a method for operating the system described above for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park is described. According to the method, a hanging of the security device within the identification area is identified by means of the identification device, so that an occupancy of the guide element with another person can thus be identified. Furthermore, the securing device handling device is controlled with the identification device in the release mode or, if the guide element is occupied by another person, in the blocking mode.
Mit dem oben beschriebenen Kletterpark wird beispielsweise ein Seilgarten oder ähnliches beschrieben, in welchem Personen verschiedene Übungen, wie beispielsweise Geschicklichkeitsübungen oder Seilrutschen, in großen Höhen durchführen können. Eine Person kann sich zu einem beschriebenen Zeitpunkt in der Übung befinden. Entsprechend kann sich relativ zur Übung eine vorhergehende Übung (Vorübung) oder eine sich anschließende Übung (Folgeübung) anschließen. Mit anderen Worten kann eine Person somit zunächst die vorhergehende Übung absolvieren, anschließend die Übung durchführen und nach dem durchführen der Übung die anschließende Übung durchführen.The climbing park described above describes, for example, a rope garden or the like, in which people can perform various exercises, such as skill exercises or zip lines, at great heights. A person can be in the exercise at a specified time. Corresponding to the exercise, a previous exercise (preliminary exercise) or a subsequent exercise (follow-up exercise) can follow. In other words, a person can first do the previous exercise, then do the exercise, and after performing the exercise, do the subsequent exercise.
Das Führungselement kann beispielsweise ein Sicherungsseil sein, welches entlang der Übung aufgehängt und gespannt ist. Ferner kann das Führungselement beispielsweise ebenfalls eine Sicherungsschiene oder eine Sicherungskette aufweisen. Das Führungselement erstreckt sich beispielsweise entlang der gesamten Übung. Beispielsweise kann der Kletterpark zwei beabstandete Masten aufweisen, zwischen welchen das Führungselement angebracht ist. Das Führungselement weist insbesondere zu Beginn der Übung einen Einhängebereich auf, in welchem sich die Person mittels der Sicherungsvorrichtung an dem Führungselement einhängen kann. Gegen Ende der Übung weist das Führungselement einen Aushängebereich auf, innerhalb welchem sich die Person von dem Führungselement aushängen kann.The guide element can, for example, be a safety rope which is suspended and tensioned along the exercise. Furthermore, the guide element can also have, for example, a securing rail or a securing chain. The guide element extends, for example, along the entire exercise. For example, the climbing park can have two spaced masts, between which the guide element is attached. The guide element has, in particular at the beginning of the exercise, a hanging area in which the person can hang onto the guide element by means of the securing device. Towards the end of the exercise, the guide element has a detachment area within which the person can detach himself from the guide element.
Die Sicherungsvorrichtung dient zum Sichern der Person an dem Führungselement. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung kann beispielsweise einen Haken aufweisen, mit welchem sich die Person an dem Führungselement einhängen kann. In einer unten beschriebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung (z.B. ein Karabinerelement) oder einen ersten und eine zweite einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung (z.B. ein Karabinerelement) auf. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Sicherungsvorrichtung beispielsweise auch mittels einer Magnetkopplung, beispielsweise über Elektromagneten, an das Führungselement zum Sichern der Person angekoppelt werden.The securing device serves to secure the person to the guide element. The securing device can, for example, have a hook with which the person can hang onto the guide element. In a preferred embodiment described below, the securing device has a first attachable securing device (e.g. a carabiner element) or a first and a second attachable securing device (e.g. a carabiner element). Additionally or alternatively, the securing device can also be coupled to the guide element for securing the person, for example by means of a magnetic coupling, for example via electromagnets.
Die Identifizierungsvorrichtung liefert die Information "Übung belegt" oder "Übung nicht belegt". Die Identifizierungsvorrichtung identifiziert ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung innerhalb eines Identifizierungsbereichs. Der Status "Übung belegt" oder "Übung nicht belegt" kann dabei in Abhängigkeit der Sicherheitsvorgaben der Übung eingestellt werden. Beispielsweise kann eine bestimmte Art von Übung (z.B. Seilrutschen) nur durch eine Person gleichzeitig durchgeführt werden. Somit kann die Identifizierungsvorrichtung bereits nach der Detektion einer Person den Status "Übung belegt" ausgeben. Andere Übungen erlauben es beispielsweise, dass mehrere Personen gleichzeitig die Übung durchführen. In diesem Fall kann die Identifizierungsvorrichtung das Passieren einer vorgegebenen Anzahl von Personen feststellen und erst nach Überschreiten der vorgegebenen Anzahl an Personen den Status "Übung belegt" ausgeben.The identification device provides the information “exercise occupied” or “exercise not occupied”. The identification device identifies a mounting of the security device within an identification area. The status "Exercise occupied" or "Exercise not occupied" can be set depending on the security requirements of the exercise. For example, a certain type of exercise (e.g. zip lines) can only be performed by one person at a time. Thus, the Output the identification device already after the detection of a person the status "exercise occupied". Other exercises allow, for example, several people to perform the exercise at the same time. In this case, the identification device can determine the passage of a predetermined number of people and can only output the status "exercise occupied" after the predetermined number of people has been exceeded.
Der Identifizierungsbereich ist insbesondere innerhalb des Einhängebereichs definiert. Die Identifizierungsvorrichtung kann beispielsweise feststellen, ob eine Person den Identifizierungsbereich passiert, sodass auf eine Belegung des Führungselements innerhalb der Übung geschlossen werden kann. Beispielsweise kann hierzu, wie weiter unten beschrieben, die Identifizierungsvorrichtung eine RFID-Leseeinheit aufweisen. Ferner kann die Identifizierungsvorrichtung ebenfalls eine (optische Licht-, oder mechanische) Schranke aufweisen, wobei ein Passieren der Schranke identifiziert werden kann, sodass auf ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Identifizierungsbereichs geschlossen werden kann. Hierfür kann die Identifizierungsvorrichtung ebenfalls eine Kamera aufweisen, sodass optisch ein Passieren der Person detektiert werden kann.The identification area is defined in particular within the hanging area. The identification device can determine, for example, whether a person passes the identification area, so that it can be concluded that the guide element is occupied during the exercise. For example, as described further below, the identification device can have an RFID reading unit. Furthermore, the identification device can also have an (optical light or mechanical) barrier, wherein a passage through the barrier can be identified, so that it can be concluded that the security device is suspended within the identification area. For this purpose, the identification device can also have a camera, so that a passing of the person can be optically detected.
Ferner kann die Identifizierungsvorrichtung einen Kontaktsensor aufweisen, welcher in dem Identifizierungsbereich ausgebildet ist, sodass bei Kontakt der Sicherungsvorrichtung mit dem Kontaktsensor auf eine Belegung des Führungselements innerhalb der Übung geschlossen werden kann.Furthermore, the identification device can have a contact sensor which is formed in the identification area, so that when the securing device comes into contact with the contact sensor, it can be concluded that the guide element is occupied during the exercise.
Die Identifizierungsvorrichtung kann, beispielsweise über eine weitere RFID-Leseeinheit im Bereich des Aushängebereichs, einen weiteren Kontaktsensor im Aushängebereich und/oder die oder eine weitere Kamera im Bereich des Aushängebereichs ein Aushängen der Person bzw. ein weiteres Passieren der Person des Aushängebereichs detektieren, sodass auf ein Ende der Belegung des Führungselement geschlossen werden kann.The identification device can detect, for example via a further RFID reading unit in the area of the display area, a further contact sensor in the display area and / or the or another camera in the area of the display area, that the person has been unhooked or passed through the person in the display area, so that one end of the occupancy of the guide element can be closed.
Die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung (die Schlüsselvorrichtung) kann in Abhängigkeit von der Belegung der Übung bzw. des Führungselements mit einer Person von der Identifizierungsvorrichtung in einen Freigabemodus und in einen Blockiermodus verstellt werden. Falls die Identifizierungsvorrichtung keine Person innerhalb der Übung bzw. keine Person, welche mit dem Führungselement gekoppelt ist, detektiert, wird die Schlüsselvorrichtung in einen Freigabemodus verstellt. In dem Freigabemodus kann die Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich an das Führungselement gekoppelt werden und/oder entlang dem Führungselement verschoben werden.The securing device handling device (the key device) can be adjusted by the identification device into a release mode and into a blocking mode depending on the occupancy of the exercise or the guide element with one person. If the identification device does not detect any person within the exercise or no person who is coupled to the guide element, the key device is switched to a release mode. In the release mode, the securing device can be coupled to the guide element in the suspension region and / or can be displaced along the guide element.
Falls die Identifizierungsvorrichtung eine Person innerhalb der Übung bzw. eine an das Führungselement gekoppelte Person detektiert, wird die Schlüsselvorrichtung in einen Blockiermodus verstellt. In dem Blockiermodus kann die Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich an das Führungselement nicht gekoppelt werden und/oder nicht entlang dem Führungselement verschoben werden.If the identification device detects a person within the exercise or a person coupled to the guide element, the key device is switched to a blocking mode. In the blocking mode, the securing device in the hanging area cannot be coupled to the guide element and / or cannot be moved along the guide element.
Die Schlüsselvorrichtung kann dabei in der Sicherungsvorrichtung integriert sein oder an dem Führungselement gekoppelt sein. Beispielsweise kann die Sicherungsvorrichtung ein Sicherungssystem innerhalb der Schlüsselvorrichtung aufweisen, sodass in dem Blockiermodus ein Öffnen der Sicherungsvorrichtung zum Koppeln an das Führungselement blockiert wird. In dem Fall, dass die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine Seilrolle aufweist, kann beispielsweise die Schlüsselvorrichtung als Seilbremse oder Rollenbremse ausgebildet sein, um in dem Blockiermodus ein Rollen und somit ein Verschieben entlang des Führungselements zu verhindern. In diesem Fall kann die Sicherungsvorrichtung beispielsweise ein (elektrisch) steuerbares Stellglied aufweisen, welches drahtgebunden oder per Funk von der Identifizierungsvorrichtung gesteuert werden kann. Die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung kann ferner mittels eines unten beschriebenen mechanischen Schlüsselstift-Schlüsselschloss-System in den Freigabemodus oder den Blockiermodus geschalten werden. Alternativ kann beispielsweise die Sicherungsvorrichtungshandhabungsvorrichtung einen Magneten (Elektromagneten) aufweisen, welcher z.B. an dem Führungselement befestigt ist, wobei der Magnet mittels der Identifizierungsvorrichtung steuerbar ist. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung kann einen entsprechenden Magneten (Elektromagneten), welcher als unten erläuterte Blockiervorrichtung fungieren kann, aufweisen. Der am Führungselement angebrachte Magnet als Elektromagnet kann beispielsweise selektiv mit Energie versorgt werden, um mit der Blockiervorrichtung als Magneten die Sicherungsvorrichtung (bzw. deren erste oder zweite Sicherungseinrichtungen) in eine Öffnungsstellung zu verstellen oder zu blockieren.The key device can be integrated in the securing device or coupled to the guide element. For example, the security device can have a security system within the key device, so that in the blocking mode, opening of the security device for coupling to the guide element is blocked. In the event that the securing device has a rope pulley, the key device can be designed, for example, as a rope brake or roller brake in order to prevent rolling and thus displacement along the guide element in the blocking mode. In this case, the security device can have, for example, an (electrically) controllable actuator, which can be controlled by the identification device by wire or by radio. The The security device handler can also be switched to the release mode or the blocking mode by means of a mechanical key pin-key lock system described below. Alternatively, for example, the securing device handling device can have a magnet (electromagnet) which is attached, for example, to the guide element, the magnet being controllable by means of the identification device. The securing device can have a corresponding magnet (electromagnet), which can function as the blocking device explained below. The magnet attached to the guide element as an electromagnet can, for example, be selectively supplied with energy in order to use the blocking device as a magnet to move or block the safety device (or its first or second safety devices) into an open position.
Ferner kann, wie weiter unten im Detail beschrieben, die Schlüsselvorrichtung an dem Führungselement fixiert werden. Im Freigabemodus ermöglicht die Schlüsselvorrichtung, dass die Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich an das Führungselement angekoppelt werden kann und entlang dem Führungselement verschoben werden kann. In dem Blockiermodus blockiert und unterbindet die Schlüsselvorrichtung ein Einhängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung in dem Einhängebereich an das Führungselement und/oder blockiert und verhindert ein Verschieben der Sicherungsvorrichtung entlang dem Führungselement. Beispielsweise kann in dem Blockiermodus ein Stopperelement aus der Schlüsselvorrichtung herausfahren, um ein Verschieben der Sicherungsvorrichtung zu verhindern. Ferner kann, wie weiter unten im Detail beschrieben, die Sicherungsvorrichtung einen Öffnungsmechanismus aufweisen, welcher durch die Schlüsselvorrichtung aktiviert oder blockiert wird.Furthermore, as described in detail below, the key device can be fixed on the guide element. In the release mode, the key device enables the securing device in the hanging area to be coupled to the guide element and to be displaceable along the guide element. In the blocking mode, the key device blocks and prevents the securing device from being hooked into the hanging area on the guide element and / or blocks and prevents the securing device from being displaced along the guide element. For example, in the blocking mode, a stop element can move out of the key device in order to prevent the securing device from moving. Furthermore, as described in detail below, the securing device can have an opening mechanism which is activated or blocked by the key device.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein System beschrieben, welches insbesondere mittels der Identifizierungsvorrichtung die Belegung der Übung identifiziert und basierend darauf eine Schlüsselvorrichtung steuert, die ein Koppeln und Verschieben der Sicherungsvorrichtung entlang eines Führungselement innerhalb der Übung freigibt oder blockiert. Somit kann eine Mehrfachbelegung eine Übung mit zu vielen Personen verhindert werden. Damit wird eine Überlastung der Übung und Unfälle aufgrund eines Zusammenstoßes mehrerer Personen innerhalb der Übung verhindert. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen System wird somit die Sicherheit für Personen beim Durchführen der Übung erhöht.The present invention describes a system which, in particular by means of the identification device, identifies the occupancy of the exercise and controls a key device based thereon which releases or blocks coupling and displacement of the securing device along a guide element within the exercise. This means that multiple occupations can prevent an exercise with too many people. This prevents the exercise from being overloaded and accidents due to a collision of several people during the exercise. With the system according to the invention, safety for people when performing the exercise is thus increased.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine Seilrolle auf, an welcher die Person befestigt ist. Wie oben beschrieben kann die Schlüsselvorrichtung beispielsweise die Rollen der Seilrolle blockieren oder ein Einhängen der Seilrolle an das Führungselement blockieren, falls die Identifizierungsvorrichtung den Status "Übung belegt" vorgibt.According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a rope pulley to which the person is attached. As described above, the key device can, for example, block the pulleys of the rope pulley or block the rope pulley from being hooked onto the guide element if the identification device specifies the status "exercise occupied".
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung (z.B. ein erstes Karabinerelement) auf, an welchem die Person befestigt ist. Die Schlüsselvorrichtung kann wie oben beschrieben beispielsweise in der einhängbaren Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. in der ersten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung integriert sein, und in Abhängigkeit von dem festgestellten Belegungsstatus mittels der Identifizierungsvorrichtung ein Öffnen oder ein Verschieben der einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung bezüglich des Führungselements blockieren oder zulassen.According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a first attachable securing device (e.g. a first carabiner element) to which the person is attached. As described above, the key device can be integrated, for example, in the attachable securing device or in the first attachable securing device and, depending on the occupancy status determined, can block or allow opening or displacement of the attachable securing device with respect to the guide element by means of the identification device.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine zweite einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung (z.B. ein zweites Karabinerelement) auf, an welchem die Person befestigt ist. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung ist derart ausgebildet, dass entweder die erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung oder die zweite einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung in eine Öffnungsstellung zum Koppeln oder Entkoppeln verstellbar ist. Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform kommuniziert die Schlüsselvorrichtung insbesondere mit der Sicherungsvorrichtung derart, dass ein Öffnen der zweiten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung selektiv blockierbar ist.According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a second attachable securing device (for example a second carabiner element), to which the person is attached. The securing device is designed such that either the first attachable securing device or the second attachable securing device is adjustable in an open position for coupling or decoupling. According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device communicates in particular with the securing device in such a way that opening of the second attachable securing device can be selectively blocked.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung eine erste Blockiervorrichtung und die zweite einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung eine zweite Blockiervorrichtung auf. Die erste Blockiervorrichtung steuert selektiv die Öffnungsstellung der ersten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung und die zweite Blockiervorrichtung steuert selektiv die Öffnungsstellung der zweiten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung.According to an exemplary embodiment, the first attachable securing device has a first blocking device and the second attachable securing device has a second blocking device. The first blocking device selectively controls the open position of the first attachable securing device and the second blocking device selectively controls the open position of the second attachable securing device.
Die erste Blockiervorrichtung und die zweite Blockiervorrichtung können beispielsweise als Sperrstifte ausgebildet sein. Im Falle, dass die Schlüsselvorrichtung jeweils ein erstes Stellglied und ein zweite Stellglied aufweist, welche entsprechend in der ersten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung und der zweiten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung angeordnet sind, steuert das erste Stellglied die erste Blockiervorrichtung in Freigabe oder dem Blockiermodus und das zweite Stellglied die zweite Blockiervorrichtung in den Freigabemodus oder den Blockiermodus.The first blocking device and the second blocking device can be designed, for example, as locking pins. In the event that the key device each has a first actuator and a second actuator, which are arranged accordingly in the first attachable securing device and the second attachable securing device, the first actuator controls the first blocking device in release or the blocking mode and the second actuator controls the second blocking device in the release mode or the blocking mode.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die Sicherungsvorrichtung ein Kupplungsmittel auf, welches mit der ersten Blockiervorrichtung und der zweiten Blockiervorrichtung derart gekoppelt ist, dass nur eines der einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtungen bzw. deren Blockiervorrichtungen in Öffnungsstellung einstellbar ist, während die andere Blockiervorrichtung in dem Blockiermodus eingestellt ist. Das Kupplungsmittel kann beispielsweise mechanisch als Bowdenzug ausgebildet sein und jeweils mit der ersten Blockiervorrichtung und der zweiten Blockiervorrichtung gekoppelt sein. Ferner kann das Kupplungsmittel elektrisch wirkend, pneumatisch wirkend oder hydraulisch wirkend ausgebildet sein. Das Kupplungsmittel kann beispielsweise drahtgebunden oder per Funk über elektrische Stellglieder steuerbar sein. Sicherungsvorrichtungen mit einem Kupplungsmittel werden beispielsweise in der
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform ist die Schlüsselvorrichtung im Einhängebereich an dem Führungsseil fixierbar. Die Schlüsselvorrichtung weist einen Schlüsselstift auf. Zumindest die erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung weist ein Schlüsselschloss auf, welches mit dem Schlüsselstift koppelbar ist. Die erste einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung ist derart konfiguriert, dass bei Kopplung des Schlüsselschloss mit dem Schlüsselstift das Kupplungsmittel die zweite Blockiervorrichtung derart steuert, dass die zweite einhängbare Sicherungseinrichtung bzw. die zweite Blockiervorrichtung in Öffnungsstellung verstellbar ist. Bei Kopplung des Schlüsselstifts in dem Schlüsselschloss wird beispielsweise ein Federmechanismus oder ein elektrischer Impuls aktiviert werden, welcher das Kupplungselement veranlasst, die zweite Blockiervorrichtung in Öffnungsstellung zu verstellen oder zu blockieren.According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device can be fixed on the guide rope in the hanging area. The key device has a key pin. At least the first attachable securing device has a key lock which can be coupled to the key pin. The first attachable securing device is configured such that when the key lock is coupled to the key pin, the coupling means controls the second blocking device in such a way that the second attachable securing device or the second blocking device is adjustable in the open position. When the key pin is coupled in the key lock, for example, a spring mechanism or an electrical pulse will be activated, which causes the coupling element to adjust or block the second blocking device in the open position.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform ist der Schlüsselstift in eine aktive Stellung und in eine passive Stellung verstellbar (zum Beispiel Ein- und ausfahrbar), wobei in der aktiven Stellung der Schlüsselstift koppelbar mit dem Schlüsselschloss ist und in der passiven Stellung eine Kopplung des Schlüsselstifts mit dem Schlüsselschloss blockiert ist. In dem Blockiermodus der Schlüsselvorrichtung wird der Schlüsselstift somit in die passive Stellung verstellt, sodass eine Kopplung mit dem Schlüsselschloss der ersten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung blockiert wird. Entsprechend wird beispielsweise das Kupplungsmittel nicht betätigt, sodass das Kupplungsmittel die zweite Blockiervorrichtung der zweiten einhängbaren Sicherungseinrichtung nicht freigibt und sich nicht in die Öffnungsstellung bewegt.According to an exemplary embodiment, the key pin can be adjusted into an active position and into a passive position (for example retractable and extendable), the key pin being able to be coupled to the key lock in the active position and the key pin being coupled to the key lock in the passive position is blocked. In the blocking mode of the key device, the key pin is thus moved into the passive position, so that a coupling with the key lock of the first attachable securing device is blocked. Correspondingly, for example, the coupling means is not actuated, so that the coupling means the second blocking device of the second one that can be suspended Safety device does not release and does not move into the open position.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist die Schlüsselvorrichtung eine Verstelleinrichtung zum Verstellen des Schlüsselstifts auf, wobei die Verstelleinrichtung einen Elektromagneten und/oder einen Servomotor aufweist. Die Verstelleinrichtung ist zur Signalübertragung mit der Identifizierungsvorrichtung gekoppelt, sodass die Identifizierungsvorrichtung die Verstelleinrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den Belegungsstatus des Führungselements der Übung steuert.According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device has an adjustment device for adjusting the key pin, the adjustment device having an electromagnet and / or a servo motor. The adjustment device is coupled to the identification device for signal transmission, so that the identification device controls the adjustment device as a function of the occupancy status of the guide element of the exercise.

Mittels der RFID-Leseeinheit und dem RFID-Transponder kann beispielsweise ein einfaches Passieren der Person A detektiert werden. Zudem kann der RFID-Transponder einen gewissen Code aufweisen, welcher von der RFID-Leseeinheit detektiert wird. So kann zudem festgestellt werden, welche RFID-Transponder gerade die RFID-Leseeinheit passiert. Somit kann beispielsweise eine bestimmte Person, welche den speziellen RFID-Transponder trägt, identifiziert werden. Damit kann beispielsweise festgestellt werden, wie oft die Person bereits die Übung durchgeführt hat. Ferner kann mittels einer zentralen Steuereinheit die Person in einem Kletterpark lokalisiert werden.According to an exemplary embodiment, as already described above, the identification device has an RFID reading unit which is set up to detect an RFID transponder of the security device or the person in order to identify a passage of the person at the identification device. Using the RFID reading unit and the RFID transponder, for example, a simple passage of person A can be detected. In addition, the RFID transponder can have a certain code that is detected by the RFID reading unit. In this way it can also be determined which RFID transponder is currently passing through the RFID reading unit. In this way, for example, a specific person carrying the special RFID transponder can be identified. This can be used, for example, to determine how often the person has already carried out the exercise. Furthermore, the person can be located in a climbing park by means of a central control unit.
Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform weist das System eine weitere Identifizierungsvorrichtung auf. Die weitere Identifizierungsvorrichtung ist mit dem Führungselement derart gekoppelt, dass mittels der weiteren Identifizierungsvorrichtung innerhalb des Aushängebereichs ein Aushängen der Sicherungsvorrichtung identifizierbar ist, sodass damit die Belegung des Führungselements weiter identifizierbar ist. Die weitere Identifizierungsvorrichtung kann mit denselben Ausführungsbeispielen ausgebildet werden wie oben für die Identifizierungsvorrichtung erläutert wurden.According to an exemplary embodiment, the system has a further identification device. The further identification device is coupled to the guide element in such a way that the safety device can be unhooked within the display area by means of the further identification device, so that the occupancy of the Guide element is further identifiable.
