Abstract

PURPOSE:To turn a vehicle for playing into an unpresumable attitude, wherein the vehicle is of such a type as driven on rail by a rider or riders who stamp pedal etc., by using as a drive wheel either a wheel for running or a wheel for attitude changing, and equipping the vehicle body with a drive part which operates this drive wheel while power is fed by the rider. CONSTITUTION:A vehicle body 11 accommodates two persons, and each seat is equipped with a pedal, and the torque given by stamping of these pedals is transmitted to a driving gear via a drive force transmitting mechanism. When the spacing in the vertical direction between rails 1, 2 for running and an overaction rail 3 is changed in the longitudinal direction, the rear part of the vehicle 10 moves up and down in compliance with the locus of the overaction rail 3 even though the rails for running are level because a overaction wheel part 13 moves in following-up to the overaction rail 3, and the vehicle will travel in repetition of reversals between the forward tilting and backward tilting attitudes. Accordingly the vehicle 10 can be changed into tilted attitude without undulation of the left and right rails 1, 2 up and down.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an amusement ride system installed in an amusement park or the like, particularly in a system in which a person riding a vehicle depresses a pedal to drive the vehicle by itself. The angle of inclination is thicker than the curvature (it relates to an amusement ride device that tilts or swings the vehicle).

[Prior Art] As amusement rides installed in amusement parks, etc., in addition to roller coasters, etc., where you can experience speed and thrill, there are also roller coasters, etc., in which passengers step on the pedals and move along the track. Portable items are also available.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the main focus of such conventional self-driving amusement vehicles is to simply move leisurely on the rails, and the vehicle does not make unexpected movements. There is no
I had never experienced the roller coaster-like experience of surisuru.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and provide a self-blade traveling type amusement ride device that allows the user to enjoy the thrill of riding at low speeds.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The configuration of an amusement ride device for realizing the object of the present invention includes a pair of running rails, and an attitude change rail provided between the pair of running rails. a track section consisting of a track section, and left and right running wheel sections guided by the pair of running rails;
and a vehicle in which attitude change wheel parts guided by the attitude change rail are spaced apart along the running direction and attached to the vehicle body, and the left and right running wheel parts and the left and right running wheel parts are attached to the vehicle body. The attitude change wheel portion is attached to be swingable about a first axis along the width direction of the running track, and has a second axis vertically orthogonal to the first axis. A drive unit that is attached so as to be able to turn around a direction, and has either the traveling wheel unit or the attitude change wheel unit as a drive wheel, and a passenger manually drives the drive wheel in the vehicle body. It is characterized by having the following.

[Function] In the amusement vehicle device having the above-described configuration, if the posture change wheel portion is attached to the rear of the vehicle body in the direction of travel, the posture change rail will move against the travel rail while the rider is self-travelling. When the height changes due to a change in height, the vehicle body can be changed to a backward leaning position without creating undulations in the running rail, and by changing the widthwise position of the attitude changing rail between a pair of running rails. The vehicle body may meander.

[Embodiment] Fig. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of an amusement vehicle according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a front view, Fig. 3 is a side view, and Fig. 4 is a plan view.

1 and 2 are running rails, 3 is an over-action rail, and left and right running rails 1 are provided at a predetermined interval.
and 2, an overaction rail 3 is arranged, and these three rails 1, 2, and 3 are fixed with brackets 4 at appropriate intervals in the length direction, and this bracket 4 is supported by a support 5. There is.

The overaction rail 3 is made of, for example, H-shaped steel, and a rack 6 that meshes with a drive gear provided on the vehicle body, which will be described later, is provided on the side surface along the length direction.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a three-wheeled vehicle consisting of a vehicle body 11, left and right running wheel sections 12, and an over-axle transport section 13. In the following description, the vertical direction of the vehicle body 11 will be referred to as the Y axis, and the vehicle width direction perpendicular to the Y axis will be referred to as the Y axis.

The left and right running wheel parts 12 have wheel parts (not shown) that are fitted to the running rails 1 and 2, respectively, to prevent derailment. It is now possible to turn against each other.

The over-axle wheel portion 13 includes a wheel portion (not shown) of a known method that fits onto the over-action rail 3 to prevent the wheel from coming off, and a drive gear that meshes with the rack gear 6 of the over-action rail 3. It has a vehicle body 11
Four pieces are attached to the rear bottom of the. This wheel portion 13 is formed in a universal joint structure that can swing around the Y-axis and the Y-axis, respectively, so that the vehicle body 11 can swing around the Y-axis and This allows vertical movement in the Y-axis direction.

The vehicle main body 11 has seats 14 for two people, and each seat is provided with pedals (not shown), and the rotational force obtained by stepping on these pedals is transmitted via a driving force transmission mechanism (not shown). The signal is transmitted to the drive gear described above.

In the amusement ride device configured as described above, when the distance between the running rail 1.2 and the overaction rail 3 in the vertical direction is changed in the length direction, the vehicle 10 can be moved, for example, when the running rail is horizontal. Even when the overaction wheel section 13 moves while following the overaction rail 3, the rear part of the vehicle moves up and down in accordance with the trajectory of the overaction rail 3, and for example, the vehicle repeatedly tilts forward and backward while driving. I will do it.

Therefore, it is possible to change the vehicle 10 to an inclined position without causing the left and right running rails 1 and 2 to undulate in the vertical direction, and a person riding in the vehicle 10 can realize that the vehicle 10 is horizontal because the running rails 1 and 2 are horizontal. Just when you think you're driving in a stable position, the vehicle suddenly tilts forward or backward, giving you a thrilling experience.

On the other hand, if the overaction rail 3 is placed on the inner or outer side of the intermediate position between the running rails 1 and 2, for example at a curved part of the running rails 1 and 2, the overaction wheel portion 13 As the vehicle IO moves along the overaction rail 3,
It travels in a state that cuts inward or outward from the trajectory obtained by the traveling rail.

Also, if the overaction rail 3 is made to meander,
The vehicle 10 also travels in a meandering manner.

In this embodiment, the overaction wheel portion is provided at the rear of the vehicle body in the direction of travel, but the overaction wheel portion may be provided in the reverse direction.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to change the posture of the vehicle into an unexpected position even when the vehicle runs on its own by human power by depressing a pedal or the like on a rail.
