Definitions
- the invention relates to a conveyor device for rail-bound vehicles or vehicle trains for overcoming the rise on a mountain and valley route, in particular for amusement devices in which a towing aid guided along the rails is releasably engaged with the vehicle via a chain hook or the like.
- Such conveyor lines are used, for example, in amusement devices, for example in roller coasters, mountain and valley railways, as a lift aid for the vehicles.
- the vehicles are brought to the highest point of the amusement device by motor, in order to drive through the route independently from there with momentum.
- Endless chain drives which run along the rails and which extend along the mountain route between the rails are used for the motor-driven upward movement of the vehicles (DE-OS 28 32 991).
- the individual vehicle is towed by a chain hook from these revolving chains to the highest point of the amusement device in order to detach itself from the elevator chain there.
- Such a rotating conveyor chain is particularly heavy when there are large differences in height and requires constant maintenance because of the high wear. Because of the polygon effect on their urule steering wheels
- the invention has for its object to develop a conveyor aid that is suitable for overcoming large differences in height, does not require a rotating conveyor chain, causes less costs and allows a higher conveyor speed with less noise.
- the towing aid consists of a finite, relatively short, guided section, in particular chain section, which is pulled upwards with the aid of a cable along the ascent of the mountain route and pushed in the opposite direction, the chain section being in its exit - and rest position with the rear
- the object of the invention can be used with great advantage in amusement devices of all kinds instead of the previously known lift aids.
- the invention allows greater height differences and steeper incline angles as well as higher conveying speeds.
- conveyor devices according to the invention can also be used in other specialist areas, for example in industrial conveyor technology, where it is a matter of accelerating rail-bound vehicles from a standstill at certain points or moving them over ascents.
- US-A-1, 084, 390 discloses an amusement device in which a vehicle is moved back and forth along a U-shaped path that is open at the top like a rocking movement. A driver is attached to an endless elevator that runs along one leg, which takes the vehicle to the uppermost point of this leg and releases it there for departure. With such an arrangement, the object of the invention cannot be achieved and also an application in amusement facilities in the manner of roller coasters is impossible.
- the cable end is advantageously connected with its two ends to the front end of the chain section. In this way the chain section is pulled when moving upwards and pushed when moving backwards.
- the individual chain section consists of only a few chain links which are guided over guide rollers in their own guide which extends along the rails.
- a cable drive unit for. B. a winch or an adhesive drive, guided endless conveyor line.
- towing aids e.g. B. rods with guide rollers or the like can be used.
- a pulley for the cable is located at the foot of the climb of the mountain route, such that the front end of the cable from the circumference of the pulley in in the direct direction to the leading end of the chain section leads to the ascent.
- the cable does not have to be deflected into a horizontal section, which would lead to an unusable concave distortion of the cable.
- the chain section only needs to be so long that its rear end can be pushed under the vehicle in the horizontal position.
- the vehicle In order to move the vehicle up a mountain section, it only needs to be connected to the chain section via a chain hook, which is known per se, whereupon the cable pull moves the chain section upwards until the vehicle being towed passes the vertex of the mountain section and can be moved forward from there with your own momentum.
- a chain hook which is known per se
- the individual chain link of the chain section has the same length as the center distance of the wheels of the vehicle. In this way, it is always possible to guide the individual chain link in parallel and at the same distance from the vehicle without the curvature of the road surface having any effect.
- the invention provides that the cable pull detaches from the chain guide after overcoming a mountain route and is returned to the cable drive unit.
- This can be designed to be reversible in the direction of rotation in order to enable the forward and backward movement of the chain section with a single cable pull.
- FIG. 1 a side view of a mountain route of an amusement device with a finite chain section
- FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II through a section of the route according to FIG. 1 (in an enlarged view),
- Figure 3 a plan view of a chain link of a finite chain section
- Figure 4 is a side view of part of a finite chain section with a chain hook engaging therein.
- part of a roadway (1) is shown in a side view, on which rail-bound vehicles (2) are guided with the aid of running wheels (3).
- a flat valley section (7) is followed by a mountain section (5) and a strongly curved upper carriageway section (4), which merges into a downhill section (6).
- the route can be chosen arbitrarily.
- a finite chain section (8) is forcibly guided in a fixed guide (13).
- the front end (34) of the chain section (8) is connected to the front and rear end (35, 36) of a cable (9).
- This cable pull is guided from the foot of the mountain route (5) parallel to the roadway (1) to approximately the turning point (18) of the downhill route (6) in order to get there from the roadway (1) to loosen and lead to a cable drive unit (15).
- the cable pull again leads to the leading end (34) of the finite chain section (8) via deflection rollers (17) and a tensioning device (16). If the drive shaft of the drive unit (15) in
- the cable pull (9) pulls the chain section (8) up the mountain section (5) and over the apex of the curved road section (4) to a point where the vehicle (2) detaches from the chain section (8) can. From this upper position of the chain section (8) it is moved back again by the fact that the cable drive unit (15) is now driven counterclockwise. The chain section (8) is pushed back into its starting position by its guide (13), while the front end (36) of the cable pull (9) pulls back at the leading end (34) of the chain link (26).
- the position of the deflection roller (17) at the foot of the mountain route (5) is essential.
- the front end (36) of the cable pull (8) is guided in alignment with the mountain route (5) to the front end (10) of the chain section (8) and the cable pull (9) is not guided along a concave curvature.
- the chain section (8) is dimensioned so that the length (12) of a chain link (26) is equal to the distance (11) between the axles (3) of the vehicles.
- the cable pulleys (14) for guiding the cable pull (9) along rectilinear road sections (5) are at a greater distance from one another than in the region of curved road sections (4).
- a minimum distance between the rope pulleys (14) is recommended in order to keep the rope wear as low as possible.
- FIG. 2 shows how a finite chain section (8) can be guided along the carriageway (1).
- the roadway has in the usual way two rails (22, 23) arranged parallel to one another, which have struts (25) with a central one, along the
- Road (1) extending support tube (24) are connected in the usual way.
- Crossbars (32, 33) extend from the rails (22, 23) to U-shaped guide profiles (20, 21), the cavities of which face each other. In these guide profiles (20, 21) there are guide roles
- the individual chain link (26) consists of two bars (27, 28) arranged at a distance from one another, between which there is a distance which is required to engage the chain hook (19).
- This chain hook (19) interacts with the axes (37) of the guide rollers (29, 30).
- the cable (9) is guided just below the strips (27, 28) in the area of the distance between them.
- Example of Figure 2 is indicated that in the support tube (24) rope pulleys (14) are rotatably mounted on axes (31).
- the control of the cable (9) can also be solved in other ways. Maintaining the parallelism of the cable guide (9) to the chain link guide (13) is advisable.
- a single chain link (26) is shown in plan view in FIG.
- the respective front chain link (26) has a connection in the area of its leading end (34) with the rear end (35) and the front end (36) of the cable pull. If the cable (9) is moved in the direction of the arrow, there is one
- FIG. 4 shows how the individual chain hook (19) of the vehicle (2) acts on the axle (37) of one of the guide rollers (29, 30).
- the chain hook (19) is rotatably guided about the pivot bearing (38) and falls into the axis (37) of the chain link (26) by gravity or a spring.
