Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Wassersportzuganlage, insbesondere eine Umlaufwassersportzuganlage.The present invention relates to a water sports train system, in particular a circulating water sports train system.

Wassersportzuganlagen sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen bekannt. Allen gemeinsam ist, dass sie zumindest ein umlaufendes endloses Seil aufweisen, welches über an Masten gelagerte Seilscheiben geführt wird, wobei eine dieser Seilscheiben von einem Motor angetrieben wird. Diese Masten sind hierbei in einem Gewässer in der Regel in Ufernähe angeordnet und die Seilscheiben sind an diesen in einer solchen Höhe befestigt, dass mit dem umlaufenden endlosen Seil, an dem Schleppseile lösbar eingehängt sind, Wassersportler, wie z.B. Wakeboarder oder Wasserskifahrer, über das Wasser gezogen werden.Water sports train systems are known in different versions. What they all have in common is that they have at least one revolving endless rope which is guided over pulleys mounted on masts, one of these pulleys being driven by a motor. These masts are usually located near the shore in a body of water and the sheaves are attached to them at such a height that water sports enthusiasts such as e.g. Wakeboarder or water skier being dragged across the water.

Eine derartige Wassersportzuganlage offenbart beispielsweise die DE 10 2012 106 575 A1 . Diese bekannte Anlage weist ein endloses Zugseil und ein parallel dazu verlaufendes endloses Hilfsseil auf, wobei die Seilscheiben beider Seile voneinander unabhängig gelagert sind. Damit die Seile umlaufen können, wird eine Seilscheibe, über die das Zugseil geführt ist, angetrieben. Das Hilfsseil und das Zugseil sind miteinander mittels Schrägseile gekoppelt, sodass das Hilfsseil von dem Zugseil gezogen wird.Such a water sports train system, for example, discloses the DE 10 2012 106 575 A1 , This known system has an endless traction rope and an endless auxiliary rope running parallel to it, the rope sheaves of both ropes being mounted independently of one another. A rope pulley, over which the pull rope is guided, is driven so that the ropes can run around. The auxiliary rope and the pull rope are coupled to one another by means of stay cables so that the auxiliary rope is pulled from the pull rope.

Dokument AT 220 049 B offenbart eine Schleppanlage zur Ausübung des Wasserskisportes oder des Skijörings mittels eines endlosen Schleppseiles, das oberhalb der Gleitfläche über Lenkrollen im geschlossenen Umlauf geführt ist und an welchem die üblichen Haltetaue befestigt sind. Problematisch, insbesondere für Anfänger, hat sich die Tatsache herausgestellt, dass die Seilscheiben einen konstanten Durchmesser aufweisen, so dass die Umlenkung des Seils gemäß dem Durchmesser der Seilscheibe erfolgt. Der Durchmesser der Seilscheiben ist jedoch hinsichtlich der Geschwindigkeit, mit welcher eine Person von dem Seil über die Wasseroberfläche gezogen wird, relativ klein. Die abrupte Umlenkung des Seils über die Seilscheibe führt daher oft zu Stürzen, da die infolge der Umlenkung auftretenden Kräfte nicht von dem Fahrer beherrschbar sind. Ferner treten durch die kleinen Umlenkradien der Seilscheiben hohe Belastungen, insbesondere bei Lastwechseln des Seils, auf, so dass die Lebensdauer der einzelnen Komponenten der Wassersportzuganlage verkürzt wird.document AT 220 049 B discloses a towing system for practicing water skiing or skijoring by means of an endless tow rope, which is guided above the sliding surface via castors in a closed circuit and to which the usual holding ropes are attached. The fact that the sheaves have a constant diameter has turned out to be problematic, particularly for beginners, so that the deflection of the rope takes place according to the diameter of the sheave. However, the diameter of the sheaves is relatively small in terms of the speed at which a person is pulled by the rope over the water surface. The abrupt deflection of the rope over the sheave therefore often leads to falls, since the forces arising as a result of the deflection cannot be controlled by the driver. Furthermore, the small deflection radii of the rope sheaves result in high loads, in particular when the rope changes load, so that the service life of the individual components of the water sports train system is shortened.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Wassersportzuganlage zur VerfĂĽgung zu stellen.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved water sports train system.

OFFENBARUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

eine Wassersportzuganlage, insbesondere eine Umlaufwassersportzuganlage, mit: mindestens einem Masten, einem Seil, welches an dem Masten umgelenkt und/oder angetrieben wird und welches zum Ziehen einer Person über die Wasseroberfläche ausgebildet ist, einer Umlenkeinrichtung, welche an dem Masten zur horizontalen Umlenkung des Seils vorgesehen ist, wobei die Umlenkeinrichtung zumindest eine erste Seilrolle zur Aufnahme eines ersten Abschnitts des Seils, und zumindest eine zweite Seilrolle zur Aufnahme eines zweiten Abschnitts des Seils aufweist, wobei die zumindest erste Seilrolle und die zumindest zweite Seilrolle in einem Träger drehbar gelagert sind, und wobei der Träger horizontal drehbar bezüglich des Masten gelagert ist.
Accordingly, it is provided:
a water sports train system, in particular a circulating water sports train system, with: at least one mast, a rope which is deflected and / or driven on the mast and which is designed to pull a person over the water surface, a deflection device which is on the mast for the horizontal deflection of the rope is provided, wherein the deflection device has at least one first rope pulley for receiving a first section of the rope, and at least one second rope pulley for receiving a second section of the rope, the at least first rope pulley and the at least second rope pulley being rotatably mounted in a carrier, and wherein the carrier is mounted horizontally rotatable with respect to the mast.

Durch das Vorsehen einer derartigen Wassersportanlage ist es möglich, den Kurvenradius beim Umlenken des Seils an dem Masten zu vergrößern. Es ist daher möglich, das Seil sanfter und über eine längere Strecke als im Vergleich zu bestehenden Anlagen umzulenken, welche Seilscheiben mit einem konstanten Durchmesser aufweisen. Dadurch werden die Kräfte, welche auf die Person und auf die Anlage bei der Umlenkung von einer ersten Richtung in eine zweite Richtung wirken, verringert. Daher kommt es zu weniger Stürzen und es werden die Instandhaltungskosten der Anlage verringert.By providing such a water sports facility, it is possible to increase the radius of the curve when the rope is deflected on the masts. It is therefore possible to deflect the rope more gently and over a longer distance than in comparison to existing systems which have rope pulleys with a constant diameter. As a result, the forces which act on the person and on the system when deflecting from a first direction into a second direction are reduced. Therefore, there are fewer falls and the maintenance costs of the system are reduced.

Da statt Seilscheiben Seilrollen verwendet werden können, wird ferner die Wartung der gesamten Wassersportzuganlage vereinfacht, da die Seilrollen in Größe und Gewicht verkleinert sind, und daher kostengünstiger zu beziehen und leichter handzuhaben sind. Überdies ermöglichen die in einer Art Rollenwippe angeordneten Seilrollen einen kontinuierlichen Anpressdruck der Seilrollen auf das Seil, wodurch ein Anheben des Seils bezüglich der Seilrollen ausgeschlossen wird. Dies erhöht die Betriebssicherheit der Anlage.Since rope pulleys can be used instead of rope pulleys, the maintenance of the entire water sports train system is also simplified, since the rope pulleys are reduced in size and weight and are therefore cheaper to obtain and easier to handle. In addition, the rope pulleys arranged in a kind of rocker rocker enable the rope pulleys to be continuously pressed against the rope, thereby preventing the rope from being lifted with respect to the rope pulleys. This increases the operational safety of the system.

Überdies wird das Verletzungsrisiko des Bedieners der Anlage und/oder der gezogenen Personen gesenkt, da die Seilrollen einen im Vergleich zu den Seilscheiben geringeren Durchmesser aufweisen. Überdies wird die Sicherheit gesteigert, da Seilrollen im Vergleich zu Seilscheiben keine Speichen aufweisen, welche ein weiteres Verletzungsrisiko darstellen können. Ferner wird das Seil von zumindest zwei Seilrollen geführt, und wird daher besser vor einer ungewollten Entgleisung geschützt.In addition, the risk of injury to the operator of the system and / or the people being towed is reduced, since the rope pulleys have a smaller diameter than the rope sheaves. In addition, safety is increased because rope pulleys are compared have no spokes for rope sheaves, which can represent a further risk of injury. Furthermore, the rope is guided by at least two rope pulleys and is therefore better protected against unwanted derailment.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist ein Gelenk in der Mitte des Trägers vorgesehen. Durch diese Ausbildung ist es möglich, dass die Kräfte, welche auf die zumindest erste Seilrolle und auf die zumindest zweite Seilrolle wirken, symmetrisch auf den Träger und den Masten übertragen werden. Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist das Gelenk einen rotatorischen Freiheitsgrad oder zwei rotatorische Freiheitsgrade oder drei rotatorische Freiheitsgrade auf. Beispielsweise ist das Gelenk als Drehgelenk oder Eigelenk oder als Kugelgelenk ausgebildet. Ferner kann das Gelenk auch einen oder mehrere translatorische Freiheitsgrade aufweisen. Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist das Gelenk genau einen rotatorischen Freiheitsgrad oder genau zwei rotatorische Freiheitsgrade odergenau drei rotatorische Freiheitsgrade auf. Auf diese Weise kann das Seil besonders sicher in den Seilrollen geführt und durch die Seilrollen ausgerichtet und eingestellt werden.According to an advantageous embodiment, a joint is provided in the middle of the carrier. This configuration makes it possible for the forces which act on the at least first rope pulley and on the at least second rope pulley to be transmitted symmetrically to the support and the masts. According to a further advantageous embodiment, the joint has one rotational degree of freedom or two rotational degrees of freedom or three rotational degrees of freedom. For example, the joint is designed as a swivel joint or egg joint or as a ball joint. Furthermore, the joint can also have one or more translational degrees of freedom. According to a further advantageous embodiment, the joint has exactly one rotational degree of freedom or exactly two rotational degrees of freedom or exactly three rotational degrees of freedom. In this way, the rope can be guided particularly securely in the rope pulleys and aligned and adjusted by the rope pulleys.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind an dem Träger Federeinrichtungen und/oder Dämpfereinrichtungen vorgesehen, welche ausgebildet sind, eine Drehung des Trägers bezüglich des Masten zu federn und/oder zu dämpfen. Durch das Vorsehen von Federeinrichtungen und/oder Dämpfereinrichtungen können Lastwechsel im Seil besonders gut ausgeglichen werden. Ferner wird ein mögliches Aufschaukeln des Masten beim Brems- und Startvorgang der Anlage verringert. Die Federeinrichtungen und/oder Dämpfereinrichtungen können dabei direkt an dem Träger angeordnet sein, oder können auch an anderen Bauteilen, wie z. B. an einem Zwischenträger oder an einem Hauptträger, welche zwischen dem Träger und dem Masten vorgesehen sind, angeordnet sein.According to a further advantageous embodiment, spring devices and / or damper devices are provided on the carrier, which are designed to spring and / or dampen rotation of the carrier with respect to the masts. By providing spring devices and / or damper devices, load changes in the rope can be compensated particularly well. Furthermore, a possible rocking of the masts during the braking and starting process of the system is reduced. The spring devices and / or damper devices can be arranged directly on the carrier, or can also on other components, such as. B. on an intermediate support or on a main support, which are provided between the support and the masts.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der Träger eine gebogene Form auf. Beispielsweise ist der Träger in Richtung des Seils gebogen. Auf diese Weise kann der Träger besonders gut die Kräfte des Seils aufnehmen und an den Masten weiterleiten.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the carrier has a curved shape. For example, the carrier is bent in the direction of the rope. In this way, the carrier can absorb the forces of the rope particularly well and transmit them to the masts.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weisen die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle jeweils eine Lauffläche auf, auf welcher das Seil angeordnet ist, wobei die Lauffläche aus einem reibungserhöhenden und/oder lärmmindernden Material, insbesondere Kunststoff, ausgebildet ist. Beispielsweise ist die Lauffläche aus PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW und/oder aus verschiedenen Gummimischungen ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise wird die Geräuschentwicklung der Anlage vermindert, wodurch das Fahren an dieser Wassersportzuganlage und das Bedienen dieser Wassersportzuganlage angenehmer werden. Ferner wird durch diese Ausbildung einer Seilrolle der Schlupf zwischen dem Seil und der Seilrolle minimiert, sodass der Verschleiß des Seils und der Seilrolle reduziert werden kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley each have a running surface on which the rope is arranged, wherein the tread is made of a friction-increasing and / or noise-reducing material, in particular plastic. For example, the tread is made of PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW and / or different rubber compounds. In this way, the noise level of the system is reduced, which makes driving on this water sports train system and operating this water sports train system more pleasant. Furthermore, this formation of a rope pulley minimizes the slip between the rope and the rope pulley, so that the wear on the rope and the rope pulley can be reduced.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle ein abgedichtetes Lager auf. Das abgedichtete Lager ist insbesondere als abgedichtetes Wälzlager ausgebildet. Durch diese Ausbildung einer Seilrolle werden die Wartungsintervalle der Wassersportzuganlage verlängert, da kein Nachschmieren der Lager der Seilrollen notwendig ist. Das abgedichtete Lager ist insbesondere für hohe Drehzahlen ausgebildet. Ferner ist das Lager vorteilhafterweise derart abgedichtet, dass keine Fremdstoffe und Verunreinigungen in das Lager eindringen können, und Schmiermittel, wie z. B. Öl oder Fett, aus dem Lager austreten können, und in das Gewässer gelangen können.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley has a sealed bearing. The sealed bearing is designed in particular as a sealed rolling bearing. This design of a rope pulley extends the maintenance intervals of the water sports train system, since it is not necessary to relubricate the bearings of the rope pulleys. The sealed bearing is designed in particular for high speeds. Furthermore, the bearing is advantageously sealed such that no foreign matter and contaminants can penetrate the bearing, and lubricants such as. B. oil or fat, can escape from the camp, and can get into the water.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle einen Durchmesser im Bereich von 10-50 cm, insbesondere im Bereich von 20 cm bis 40 cm, und weiter insbesondere im Bereich von 28 cm bis 32 cm, auf. Auf diese Weise wird ein besonders ruhiger Lauf der Seilrollen gewährleistet, da ein Auswuchten der Seilrollen aufgrund des geringen Durchmessers nicht notwendig ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley has a diameter in the range from 10-50 cm, in particular in the range from 20 cm to 40 cm, and further in particular in the range from 28 cm to 32 cm , In this way, a particularly smooth running of the rope pulleys is ensured, since balancing the rope pulleys is not necessary due to the small diameter.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist/sind die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle zumindest teilweise aus einem Leichtmetall, insbesondere aus einer Aluminiumlegierung, und/oder zumindest teilweise aus einem Kunststoff ausgebildet. Die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle können auch zumindest teilweise oder vollständig aus Kunststoff ausgebildet sein. Die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle können auch als Hybridbauteil ausgebildet sein. Z. B. weist/weisen die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle teilweise Kunststoff und teilweise Metall auf. Auf diese Weise kann das Gewicht der Seilrollen verringert werden, so dass die auf die Wassersportzuganlage wirkenden Kräfte verringert werden. Auch der Träger, und/oder der Zwischenträger, und/oder der Hauptträger, und/oder der Mast können aus einem Leichtmetall, zum Beispiel aus einer Aluminiumlegierung, ausgebildet sein.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley is / are at least partially formed from a light metal, in particular from an aluminum alloy, and / or at least partially from a plastic. The at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley can also be formed at least partially or completely from plastic. The at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley can also be designed as a hybrid component. For example, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley has / are partially plastic and partially metal. In this way the weight of the rope pulleys can be reduced so that the forces acting on the water sports train system are reduced. The carrier, and / or the intermediate carrier, and / or the main carrier, and / or the mast can also be formed from a light metal, for example from an aluminum alloy.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die zumindest erste Seilrolle und/oder die zumindest zweite Seilrolle Seitenscheiben auf, welche an einer Seite oder an beiden Seiten der zumindest ersten Seilrolle und/oder der zumindest zweiten Seilrolle vorgesehen ist/sind, und welche ausgebildet sind, das Seil zu führen. Die Seitenscheiben erstrecken von der Lauffläche nach außen mit einer Distanz, welche mindestens dem Seildurchmesser entspricht. Beispielsweise erstreckt sich eine Seitenschiebe von der Lauffläche nach außen mit einer Distanz, welche dem doppelten oder dem dreifachen Seildurchmesser entspricht. Das Seil weist beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 10 mm auf, und die Seitenscheiben erstrecken sich z. B. 20mm bis 30mm von der Lauffläche der Seilrolle nach außen. Auf diese Weise kann das Seil besonders sicher in den Seilrollen geführt werden. Ferner können die Seitenscheiben mit einem Material beschichtet sein, welches zumindest teilweise Kunstkopf aufweist. Auf diese Weise kann die Widerstandfähigkeit der Seitenscheiben und damit der Seilrolle verbessert werden. Ferner wird durch diese Ausbildung der Seitenscheiben die Geräuschentwicklung der gesamten Anlage signifikant vermindert. Beispielsweise sind die Seitenscheiben mit PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW und/oder mit verschiedenen Gummimischungen beschichtet. Das Basismaterial der Seitenscheiben kann beispielsweise eine Leichtmetalllegierung sein.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley has side windows which are / are provided on one side or on both sides of the at least first rope pulley and / or the at least second rope pulley, and which are formed to run the rope. The side windows extend outward from the tread at a distance which corresponds at least to the rope diameter. For example, a side shift extends outwards from the tread with a distance which corresponds to twice or three times the rope diameter. The rope has a diameter of 10 mm, for example, and the side windows extend, for. B. 20mm to 30mm from the tread of the rope pulley to the outside. In this way, the rope can be guided in the rope pulleys particularly securely. Furthermore, the side windows can be coated with a material which at least partially has an artificial head. In this way, the resistance of the side windows and thus the pulley can be improved. Furthermore, this design of the side windows significantly reduces the noise development of the entire system. For example, the side windows are coated with PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW and / or with various rubber compounds. The base material of the side windows can be, for example, a light metal alloy.

Other embodiments and many of the advantages mentioned result from the drawings. The elements of the drawings are not necessarily shown to scale with respect to one another. The same reference numerals designate the same or similar components.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Ansicht einer Wassersportzuganlage 1 gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Wassersportzuganlage 1 ist insbesondere als eine Umlaufwassersportzuganlage ausgebildet, welche mit einem Seil 10 versehen ist, welches eine Schlaufe und somit einen Rundkurs auf einem Gewässer 15 ausbildet. Die Wassersportzuganlage 1 ist einem Gewässer 15 vorgesehen und weist vorzugsweise mehrere Masten 2 auf, zwischen welchen das Seil 10 gespannt ist und an den Masten 2 jeweils umgelenkt wird. Die Masten 2 sind in Ufernähe vorgesehen und erstrecken sich über das Gewässer 15. Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a water sports train installation 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The water sports train system 1 is designed in particular as a circulating water sports train system which is provided with a rope 10 which forms a loop and thus a round course on a body of water 15. The water sports train system 1 is provided in a body of water 15 and preferably has a plurality of masts 2, between which the rope 10 is stretched and is deflected on the masts 2 in each case. The masts 2 are provided near the bank and extend over the water 15.

Ferner ist ein zweites Seil 12, auch als Hilfsseil bezeichnet, vorgesehen, welches mit dem Seil 10, auch als Hauptseil bezeichnet, über Mitnehmer 13 gekoppelt ist. Mittels an dem Seil 10 einhängbaren Einrichtungen ist es möglich, eine Person 14 über die Wasseroberfläche des Gewässers 15 zu ziehen. An den Masten 2 sind Umlenkeinrichtungen 100 vorgesehen, welche zur Umlenkung des Seils 10 und des Seils 12 ausgebildet sind. Eine jeweilige Umlenkeinrichtung 100 weist zumindest eine erste Seilrolle 11 zur Aufnahme eines ersten Abschnitts des Seils 10, und zumindest eine zweite Seilrolle 21 zur Aufnahme eines zweiten Abschnitts des Seils 10 auf. Die erste Seilrolle 11 und die zweite Seilrolle 21 sind in einem Träger 30 drehbar gelagert. Der Träger 30 ist bezüglich des Masten 2 horizontal drehbar gelagert.Furthermore, a second rope 12, also referred to as an auxiliary rope, is provided, which is coupled to the rope 10, also referred to as the main rope, via drivers 13. By means of devices which can be attached to the rope 10, it is possible to pull a person 14 over the water surface of the water 15. Deflection devices 100 are provided on the masts 2, which are designed to deflect the rope 10 and the rope 12. A respective deflection device 100 has at least one first rope pulley 11 for receiving a first section of the rope 10, and at least one second rope pulley 21 for receiving a second section of the rope 10. The first pulley 11 and the second pulley 21 are rotatably supported in a carrier 30. The carrier 30 is horizontally rotatably supported with respect to the mast 2.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht einer Umlenkeinrichtung 100 gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Umlenkeinrichtung 100 dient zur Umlenkung des Seils 10 von einer ersten Richtung R1 in eine zweite Richtung R2. Die Umlenkeinrichtung 100 weist eine erste Seilrolle 11 zur Aufnahme eines ersten Abschnitts des Seils 10, und zumindest eine zweite Seilrolle 21 zur Aufnahme eines zweiten Abschnitts des Seils 10 auf. Die erste Seilrolle 11 und die zweite Seilrolle 21 sind in einem Träger 30 drehbar gelagert. Der Träger 30 ist horizontal drehbar bezüglich eines Hauptträgers 40, welcher mit dem Masten 2 gekoppelt ist, gelagert. Die Umlenkeinrichtung 100 weist hierfür ein Gelenk 50 auf, welches vorzugsweise in der Mitte des Trägers 30 vorgesehen ist. Das Gelenk 50 ist wiederum mit dem Hauptträger 40 verbunden, welcher mit dem Masten 2 verbunden ist. Steigt beispielsweise die Belastung des Seils 10, beispielsweise durch einen Fahrer, welcher das Seil belastet, auf der rechten Seite der Umlenkeinrichtung 100, so ist es möglich, dass der rechte Abschnitt des Trägers 30 hin zu dem Seil 10, welches aus der Richtung R1 kommt, verschwenkt wird, wobei der linke Abschnitt des Trägers 30 weg von der Richtung R2 verschwenkt wird. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, Lastwechsel im Seil 10, welche beispielsweise durch eine Slalomfahrt einer über das Gewässer 15 gezogenen Person verursacht werden, besonders gut auszugleichen. Fig. 2 shows a schematic top view of a deflection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The deflection device 100 serves to deflect the rope 10 from a first direction R1 into a second direction R2. The deflection device 100 has a first rope pulley 11 for receiving a first section of the rope 10, and at least one second rope pulley 21 for receiving a second section of the rope 10. The first rope pulley 11 and the second rope pulley 21 are in a carrier 30 rotatably mounted. The carrier 30 is horizontally rotatable with respect to a main carrier 40 which is coupled to the mast 2. For this purpose, the deflection device 100 has a joint 50, which is preferably provided in the center of the carrier 30. The joint 50 is in turn connected to the main support 40, which is connected to the mast 2. If, for example, the load on the cable 10 increases, for example by a driver who loads the cable, on the right side of the deflection device 100, it is possible that the right section of the carrier 30 towards the cable 10, which comes from the direction R1 is pivoted, the left portion of the bracket 30 being pivoted away from the direction R2. In this way it is possible to compensate for load changes in the rope 10, which are caused, for example, by a slalom ride by a person being pulled over the water 15, particularly well.

Durch das Vorsehen einer derartigen Umlenkeinrichtung 100 ist es möglich, den Kurvenradius beim Umlenken des Seils 10 an einem der Masten 2 im Vergleich zu einer Umlenkung mittels einer einzelnen Seilscheibe zu vergrößern. Es ist daher möglich, das Seil 10 sanfter und über eine längere Wegstrecke als im Vergleich zu bestehenden Anlagen umzulenken, welche Seilscheiben mit einem konstanten Durchmesser aufweisen. Daher kommt es vorteilhaft zu weniger Stürzen und es werden die Instandhaltungskosten der Anlage verringert.By providing such a deflection device 100, it is possible to increase the radius of the curve when deflecting the rope 10 on one of the masts 2 compared to a deflection by means of a single rope sheave. It is therefore possible to deflect the cable 10 more gently and over a longer distance than in comparison with existing systems which have cable pulleys with a constant diameter. Therefore, there are fewer falls and the maintenance costs of the system are reduced.

Da statt Seilscheiben Seilrollen verwendet werden, wird ferner die Wartung der gesamten Wassersportzuganlage vereinfacht, da die Seilrollen in Größe und Gewicht verkleinert und daher kostengünstiger und leichter handzuhaben sind. Überdies ermöglichen die in einer Art Rollenwippe angeordneten Seilrollen einen kontinuierlichen Anpressdruck der Seilrollen 11 und 21 auf das Seil 10, wodurch ein Anheben des Seils 10 bezüglich der Seilrollen 11 und 21 ausgeschlossen wird. Dies erhöht die Betriebssicherheit der Anlage.Since rope pulleys are used instead of rope pulleys, the maintenance of the entire water sports train system is also simplified, since the rope pulleys are reduced in size and weight and are therefore less expensive and easier to handle. In addition, the rope pulleys arranged in a kind of roller rocker enable a continuous contact pressure of the rope pulleys 11 and 21 on the rope 10, thereby preventing the rope 10 from being lifted with respect to the rope pulleys 11 and 21. This increases the operational safety of the system.

Überdies wird das Verletzungsrisiko des Bedieners der Anlage und/oder der gezogenen Personen gesenkt, da die Seilrollen 11 und 21 einen im Vergleich zu den Seilscheiben geringeren Durchmesser aufweisen. Überdies wird die Sicherheit gesteigert, da die Seilrollen 11 und 21 im Vergleich zu Seilscheiben keine Speichen aufweisen, welche ein weiteres Verletzungsrisiko darstellen können. Des Weiteren wird das Seil 10 von zumindest zwei Seilrollen 11 und 21 geführt, und wird daher besser vor einer ungewollten Entgleisung geschützt.In addition, the risk of injury to the operator of the system and / or the people being towed is reduced since the rope pulleys 11 and 21 have a smaller diameter than the rope sheaves. In addition, safety is increased since the rope pulleys 11 and 21 have no spokes in comparison to rope sheaves, which can represent a further risk of injury. Furthermore, the rope 10 is guided by at least two rope pulleys 11 and 21 and is therefore better protected against unwanted derailment.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht einer Umlenkeinrichtung 100 gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. In dieser Ausführungsform sind an dem Träger 30 Federeinrichtungen 60 und Dämpfereinrichtung 70 vorgesehen, welche ausgebildet sind, eine Drehung des Trägers 30 bezüglich des Hauptträgers 40, welcher mit dem Masten 2 gekoppelt ist, abzufedern und/oder zu dämpfen. Der Hauptträger 40, in welchem der Träger 30 mittels eines Gelenks 50 drehbar gelagert ist, ist direkt mit dem Masten 2 gekoppelt. Die Federeinrichtungen 60 und die Dämpfereinrichtungen 70 sind dabei mit dem Träger 30 und mit dem Hauptträger 40 gelenkig verbunden. Dadurch ist es möglich, eine Drehung des Trägers 30 bezüglich des Hauptträgers 40 und des Masten 2 abzufedern und/oder zu dämpfen. Auf diese Weise kann ein Aufschaukeln des Trägers 30 und des Masten 2 verhindert werden, und Lastwechsel im Seil 10 können auf diese Weise besonders gut abgefedert und gedämpft werden. Die Federeinrichtungen 60 und die Dämpfereinrichtungen 70 können auch zwischen dem Hauptträger 40 und dem Masten 2, oder zwischen einem Zwischenträger 45 und ein Hauptträger 40, wie dargestellt in der Fig. 8 oder der Fig. 12, vorgesehen sein. Fig. 3 shows a schematic top view of a deflection device 100 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, spring devices 60 and damper devices 70 are provided on the support 30, which are designed to cushion and / or dampen rotation of the support 30 with respect to the main support 40, which is coupled to the mast 2. The main support 40, in which the support 30 is rotatably mounted by means of a joint 50, is directly coupled to the mast 2. The spring devices 60 and the damper devices 70 are articulated to the carrier 30 and to the main carrier 40. This makes it possible to cushion and / or dampen rotation of the support 30 with respect to the main support 40 and the mast 2. In this way, rocking of the carrier 30 and the mast 2 can be prevented, and load changes in the rope 10 can be cushioned and damped particularly well in this way. The spring devices 60 and the damper devices 70 can also be between the main support 40 and the mast 2, or between an intermediate support 45 and a main support 40, as shown in FIG Fig. 8 or the Fig. 12 , be provided.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht einer Umlenkeinrichtung 100 gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. In der Darstellung der Fig. 4 erkennt man, dass der Träger 30 in dieser Ausführungsform eine gebogene Form aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist der Träger 30 in Richtung des Seils 10 gebogen. Auf diese Weise können die Kräfte, welche auf die erste Seilrolle 11 und auf die zweite Seilrolle 21 wirken, besonders gut aufgenommen und an den Hauptträger 40 und an den Masten 2 weitergeleitet werden. Fig. 4 shows a schematic top view of a deflection device 100 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. In the representation of the Fig. 4 it can be seen that the carrier 30 has a curved shape in this embodiment. The carrier 30 is preferably bent in the direction of the cable 10. In this way, the forces which act on the first pulley 11 and on the second pulley 21 can be absorbed particularly well and transmitted to the main support 40 and to the masts 2.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine schematische Schnittansicht einer Seilrolle 11. Beispielsweise ist die dargestellte Seilrolle die erste Seilrolle 11. Die erste Seilrolle 11 weist ein abgedichtetes Lager 90 auf. Das abgedichtete Lager 90 ist beispielsweise ein Wälzlager, und ist derart abgedichtet, dass keine weitere Schmierung notwendig ist, und dass keine Fremdkörper oder Verunreinigungen in das Innere des Lagers 90 eindringen können. Ferner ist das Lager 90 der Seilrolle 11 derart abgedichtet, dass kein Öl oder Fett aus dem Lager 90 austreten kann, und z. B. das Gewässer 15 verunreinigen kann. Insbesondere ist das Lager 90 derart ausgebildet, dass es horizontal gelagert werden kann, ohne das Öle und Fette aus dem Lager 90 austreten können. Fig. 5 shows a schematic sectional view of a rope pulley 11. For example, the rope pulley shown is the first rope pulley 11. The first rope pulley 11 has a sealed bearing 90. The sealed bearing 90 is, for example, a roller bearing, and is sealed such that no further lubrication is necessary and that no foreign bodies or contaminants can penetrate into the interior of the bearing 90. Furthermore, the bearing 90 of the cable pulley 11 is sealed such that no oil or grease can escape from the bearing 90, and e.g. B. can contaminate the water 15. In particular, the bearing 90 is designed such that it can be stored horizontally without the oils and greases being able to escape from the bearing 90.

Ferner weist die Seilrolle 11 eine Lauffläche 80 auf, welche aus einem reibungserhöhenden und/oder lärmmindernden Material 120 ausgebildet ist. Das reibungserhöhende und/oder lärmmindernde Material 120 kann beispielsweise Kunststoff oder Gummi sein. Beispielsweise ist die Lauffläche aus PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW und/oder aus verschiedenen Gummimischungen ausgebildet.Furthermore, the cable pulley 11 has a tread 80, which is formed from a friction-increasing and / or noise-reducing material 120. The friction-increasing and / or noise-reducing material 120 can be plastic or rubber, for example. For example, the tread is made of PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW and / or different rubber compounds.

Ferner weist die erste Seilrolle 11 Seitenscheiben 110 auf, welche an beiden Seiten der ersten Seilrolle 21 vorgesehen sind, und welche ausgebildet sind, dass Seil 10 zu führen. Der Durchmesser 23 der Seilrolle 21 beträgt ca. 30 cm. Das Seil 10 weist einen Durchmesser von etwa 10 mm auf.Furthermore, the first rope pulley 11 has side disks 110 which are provided on both sides of the first rope pulley 21 and which are designed to guide the rope 10. The diameter 23 of the rope pulley 21 is approximately 30 cm. The rope 10 has a diameter of approximately 10 mm.

Die Seitenscheiben 110 erstrecken von der Lauffläche 80 nach außen mit einer Distanz, welche mindestens dem Seildurchmesser entspricht. Beispielsweise erstreckt sich eine Seitenscheibe 110 von der Lauffläche 80 mit einer Distanz, welche dem doppelten oder dem dreifachen des Seildurchmessers entspricht. Das Seil 10 weist beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 10 mm auf, und die Seitenscheiben 110 erstrecken sich z. B. 20mm bis 30mm von der Lauffläche 80 der Seilrolle 11 nach außen. Auf diese Weise kann das Seil 10 besonders sicher in der Seilrollen 11 geführt werden. Ferner können die Seitenscheiben 110 mit einem Material 130 beschichtet sein, welches zumindest teilweise Kunststoff aufweist. Auf diese Weise kann die Widerstandfähigkeit der Seitenscheiben 110 und damit der Seilrolle 11 verbessert werden. Ferner wird durch diese Ausbildung der Seitenscheiben die Geräuschentwicklung der gesamten Anlage signifikant vermindert. Beispielsweise sind die Seitenscheiben 110 mit PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW und/oder mit verschiedenen Gummimischungen beschichtet. Das Basismaterial der Seitenscheiben 110 kann beispielsweise eine Leichtmetalllegierung sein.The side disks 110 extend outward from the tread 80 at a distance which corresponds at least to the rope diameter. For example, a side window 110 extends from the tread 80 at a distance which is twice or three times the rope diameter. The rope 10 has a diameter of 10 mm, for example, and the side windows 110 extend z. B. 20mm to 30mm from the tread 80 of the pulley 11 to the outside. In this way, the rope 10 can be guided particularly securely in the rope pulleys 11. Furthermore, the side windows 110 can be coated with a material 130 which at least partially comprises plastic. In this way, the resistance of the side windows 110 and thus the pulley 11 can be improved. Furthermore, this design of the side windows significantly reduces the noise development of the entire system. For example, the side windows 110 are coated with PA6, PA66, PA6G, PE-LD, PE-HD, PE-UHMW and / or with various rubber compounds. The base material of the side windows 110 can be a light metal alloy, for example.
