Description

The invention relates to the field of capital construction and, in particular, to facilities for sporting and concert events (hereinafter referred to as facilities), which are increasingly used as stadiums, for example, for football matches, with stands for spectators of large capacity.

The construction of the building is known, which is a bowl of a stadium with stands for spectators surrounding the arena. To increase the area of the latter, the stadium bowl is made of two equal and symmetrical parts, one of which is mounted with the possibility of reciprocating movement. If it is necessary to increase the area of the arena, the mobile part of the bowl is diverted in the direction perpendicular to the plane of articulation of the parts of the bowl, thus creating an additional area [JP 3552073].

The disadvantages of the described construction of the structure include:

firstly, the significant material and financial costs of construction work due to the detachable design of the stadium bowl;

secondly, the complexity of the process of transforming the structure from its original position to another (larger area) and vice versa;

thirdly, the complexity of the design of the mechanical part that provides this transformation.

Also known is the construction of the structure with stands for spectators surrounding the arena, which has the ability to transform, providing, depending on the need, two playgrounds. This is achieved by the fact that one playground is the capital part of the structure, and the second playground is made with the possibility of vertical movement, while the relative position of both playgrounds is made like a matrix - punch. The role of the matrix is performed by the first platform, and the role of the punch by the second platform, i.e. movable. To move the latter, a system of winches located on the roof of the structure is provided. In addition, there are special truss-stops for fixing the second platform in a raised position. If on the second platform there is, for example, a football field, then the first platform is intended for other sports and entertainment events [EP 1249532].

The main disadvantage of the described structure with removable playgrounds is the significant complexity of the design of the mobile playground, due to the need to have a system of synchronously operating winches located on the roof of the structure. If you consider that a mobile playground is a football field with known dimensions, then it can have a weight of thousands of tons. This circumstance requires a significant strengthening of the capital part of the structure, which is associated with an increase in its cost. In addition, the massive playground overhanging the arena, where various events can take place, covering a large number of people, does not withstand any criticism for safety reasons, even despite all possible protective measures.

As a prototype of the present invention, a retractable football field complex (arena) for an indoor stadium with stands for spectators is selected, which is a typical building for sports and entertainment events. The stadium contains a grass covering fixed on a flexible substrate, placed on a flat rigid plate made in the form of a platform, equipped with roller bearings with the possibility of their interaction with the guides, which are fixed on a rigid flat base, made within the stadium and outside of it from two independent parts with the possibility their rotation relative to horizontal hinges. The hinges are placed close to each other at the left edge of the football field. Under both parts of the bases, vertically oriented power cylinders are installed, which are placed with the same pitch along the length of both parts of the base with the possibility of independently raising and lowering both parts of the base. Power cylinders can be pneumatic or hydraulic. Elastic aprons are fixed along the platform perimeter with the possibility of their interaction with the base and sealing of the internal volume between the platform and the base. The latter along its entire length is made with holes carrying valves, allowing compressed air to flow through them, followed by overlapping. On the outer edges of both parts of the base, spring-loaded stops are fixed for interaction with the end edges of the platform. The guides of both parts of the base are equipped with braking devices.

In the initial position, both parts of the base are located horizontally due to the corresponding fixation of their rods. The extension of the football field outside the stadium and its return to its original position is as follows.

To remove the football field outside the stadium, compressed air is supplied through the holes. Due to this, an overpressure air cushion is created under the platform, which ensures the creation of a total force supporting the platform, which is assumed to be smaller in size than the weight of the plate with a grass coating placed on it. Using power cylinders, the outer side of the part of the base under the platform is raised with rotation relative to its hinge. At the same time, the outer side of the base part by means of power cylinders is lowered with rotation relative to its hinge. In this case, the inclination angles of both parts of the base are the same. Due to the component of the weight of the platform, codirectional with the guides, it rolls on its roller bearings first along its guides, and then along the others with the transition from one part of the base to another part outside the stadium. In the process of rolling the platform, compressed air is supplied only through those openings that are currently under the platform. The remaining openings are blocked at this time. To return the football field to its original position on the stadium using power cylinders, the base part bearing the platform rotates relative to its hinge, providing a bias towards the stadium. In this case, the other part of the base is rotated with the help of its power cylinders with a bias towards its outer side. Thanks to this, the scooter returns to the stadium with fixing in this position by spring-loaded stops. After that, using the same power cylinders, both parts of the base are returned to a horizontal position. The presence of braking devices allows you to adjust and limit the speed of movement of the platform along the guides. Due to the placement of the platform on the roller bearings, the rotation angles of the base parts are small. Therefore, the stroke of the power cylinder rods is also small. The creation of an air cushion under the platform during its movement provides a multiple reduction of the load on the roller bearings, reduces the coefficient of resistance to movement of the platform, and due to this it becomes possible to further reduce the angle of the scooter slope and the stroke of the rods of power cylinders [RU 2399404].

The disadvantages of the prototype is the design complexity of the mechanism of the extension of the football field outside the stadium and vice versa, as well as its high metal consumption, expressed in the final result, in the high cost of construction

Thus, the object of the invention is to simplify the design of the mechanism for extending the arena beyond the structure, reducing material consumption and, as a result, reducing financial costs for the construction of the structure as a whole.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the building for sports and concert events, including stands for spectators and the arena, installed in the rails, providing its movement outside the structure, the rails are made in the form of a channel filled with water, and the arena in the form of a floating platforms. At the same time, the canal extends beyond the boundaries of the structure from its two sides and an additional floating platform is placed in it. Each floating platform is a deck installed on a displacement casing, made, for example, in the form of a pontoon formed from sealed pipes. The platforms are equipped with a drive for their movement, made, for example, in the form of a set of propeller propellers kinematically connected to electric motors and mounted opposite on the aft parts of each platform.

The technical result of the invention is that for the first time, guides for moving the arena are made in the form of a channel filled with water, and the arena in the form of a floating platform, which greatly expands the functionality of the structure, simplifies its construction and reduces the cost of its construction.

 In FIG. 1, 2 and 3 are schematic illustrations of a structure with a longitudinal section along the channel;

in FIG. 4 is a schematic top view of a floating platform;

in FIG. 5 is an isometric view of a structure.

The construction includes a capital building 1, consisting of stands 2 for spectators and a pair of arenas made in the form of floating platforms 3 and 4. The first platform 3 is a football field laid on a floor (not shown) mounted on a pontoon 5. The latter is placed in the canal 6, filled with water. Channel 6 crosses the lower part of the structure and goes beyond it from two sides. In one of the parts of the channel 6, located outside the structure, there is an additional floating platform 4 with a flooring that can carry an artificial turf, designed, for example, for playing field hockey, or any equipment for sports and cultural events. Platform 4, like platform 3, is mounted on the corresponding pontoon 7. Each pontoon is a displacement casing formed from a combination of pipes sealed from the ends, which can be either metal or plastic. Both floating platforms are equipped with autonomous drives for their movement along the channel, made in the form of a row of propeller propellers 8, each of which is kinematically connected with the electric motor 9. The drives on each platform are placed opposite on the aft parts (Fig. 4). The coastlines of the canal 6 parts located outside the structure can be equipped with seats 10 for spectators (Fig. 5). Part of the bottom of the channel 6, located within the structure, is made with a recess 11, the height of which provides the depth necessary for jumping into the water from at least 10 meters.

The construction is used as follows.

The starting position is the situation when the floating area 3 carrying the football field is located inside the structure 1, i.e. is its arena (Fig. 1). If necessary, the holding of water sports and entertainment events, the site 3 on the channel 6 moves outside the structure 1 to the right (Fig. 2). This is achieved by including electric propeller propeller thrusters 8. The thrusters located on the left stern of platform 3 push it and the thrusters on the right stern pull it, i.e. all propulsors create traction or displacement force directed in one direction. If it is necessary to conduct, for example, a grass hockey match or a music concert, venue 4 in the manner described above, i.e. with the help of its movers, it is shifted into the structure along the channel 6 (Fig. 3).

The proposed improvement of the structure greatly simplifies both the method and the design of the means of moving the arena. The implementation of the utility model in practice can give significant savings in material and financial resources intended for construction. Moreover, there are completely new opportunities for facilities for sports and concert events due to the significant expansion of their range. From this point of view, the construction becomes a universal entertainment complex.
