Technical field

The present invention relates to track and the manufacture thereof of the roller vehicle of improvement.More specifically, the preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a kind of method of Design and manufacture amusement park track of improvement, and the method comprises fixing multiple planar materials to form track, instead of traditional method that straight rail is bending.Also comprise the using method of the track of improvement.Other substituting embodiment of the present invention comprises the structure of other complexity, chair chute of such as skiing, fortune robot system and ladder.

Background technology

Roller-coaster, other amusement park rides toy, skiing chair chute and other roller vehicle fortune people device usually need complicated track to provide dynamic experience or to go along rugged country.Therefore, these tracks for this roller vehicle many are manufactured by steel pipe, will heat traditionally and bend the shape that obtains needed for it to it.

Regrettably, heat by this way and operate rod iron or steel pipe and make that this material is for good and all bending causes significant fracture in the material.Then before applying stress or load (dynamic load that the prestressing force (static load) in such as track installation and (roller-coaster such as passed through) apply to track) to this device, this fracture exists in obtained structure.Manufacture stress, static stress and dynamic stress to culminate along with the process of time, along with the time through needing frequently to replace traditional tubular type track.

In addition, when rod iron or steel pipe being heated and bend to complicated pattern, bar or pipe do not carry out necessary bending as required.Metal generally will be sought at its most weak some place or bending in the scope applying maximum, force.Therefore, the final result of the steel construction of structure and required design may not be exact matchings, and this causes the structure of repetition to be attempted or be satisfied with not being best result.Especially, the structure and material factor design of such as triangle tube, square or rectangular tube or other metal tube (having space in its steel construction cross section) is easy to be out of shape and break affect.

Current, metal (i.e. steel) roller-coaster is constructed by circle, straight rod iron or steel pipe, and they bend to desired form in order to the roller-coaster application of necessity.

Based on our industrial knowledge, there is not track is the roller-coaster constructed by common plane metal material, and described common plane metal material is cut and welded together to form required warp rail.Such invention, if feasible, can have the advantage of height desirability, it is not bent, be out of shape or heat as track newly developed, by its original intensity of maintenance, be not placed in the unnecessary fracture on material by conventional bending method.Utilize this due to the good material adaptability that do not rupture during manufacturing, the structure obtained or roller coaster track can than conventional method intensity more greatly, the duration is longer.Therefore, compared to conventional method comparatively early, it is larger or more economical that this intensity and duration can cause that roller-coaster and other structure building are obtained ratio effectively.

Therefore, in the technology of amusement park rides toy and other complicated bend structure, need a kind of new structure and manufacture the method for elongate curved structure (such as roller coaster track).Preferably, compared to traditional roller-coaster, ride-on toy of travelling, skiing chair chute, ladder or other slim-lined construction, manufacture stress is become minimum, obtains required result by the track of this improvement, further preferably reduces material and manufacturing cost.

Summary of the invention

Detailed description of the invention

In the following description, for illustrative purposes, detail has been set forth so that have comprehensive understanding to the present invention.But obviously, the present invention can implement when not having these details.In other cases, known construction and device can depict the form of sketch as, to exempt the relevant unnecessary details of of the present invention and corresponding discussion; Similarly, the step in disclosed method can depict the form of flow chart as.The division header occurred in paragraph below and reference are intended to the convenience in order to reader, should not be interpreted as the restriction of the scope to the information had in any given position.

The elongate curved structure of uniqueness as described herein and structure thereof and purposes be included in amusement park, personnel's delivery, build and manufacturing technology each within the scope of multiple advantages.Therefore, hereafter with lower part in describe in further detail the various groupings of details, progress and raising: the limitation of function summary, prior art, new construction and structure thereof and conclusion.

Function is summarized

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to a kind of device, and it comprises the elongate curved structure being suitable for various application and using.These application can comprise roller coaster track or other amusement park rides toy, fortune robot system (such as ski chair chute or other motor-driven or non-maneuverable telecontrol equipment), ladder or other building structure or need other application of elongate curved structure.In a preferred embodiment, this elongate curved structure comprises the bending section of many complexity and is conventional design, such as roller coaster track.

Although roller coaster track is the research of an exemplary cases of the present invention, it should be understood that various technology of the present invention is unrestrictedly suitable in other environment (such as transport, build and other industry).Therefore, a kind of roller-coaster of improvement will be discussed, although this preferred nonrestrictive embodiment of object being the present invention for disclosing.When here by use, mention " roller vehicle " and be considered to roller-coaster equivalence or wider than roller-coaster scope, because roller-coaster is a kind of exemplary cases of the roller vehicle on trapped orbit.The application of that instruction disclosed here can be applied to remodeling equally well or new coaster, structure no matter is wood (so-called " wood " coaster processed), or structure is below steel frame (so-called " steel " coaster processed).

More specifically, the preferred embodiment of the present invention and this description is the I shape box track of configurable three-dimensional, and it can be constructed by two-dimensional material, such as, but be not limited to plane steel plate.In the preferred embodiment of roller coaster track, the square-section that I shape box track generally has the letter " I shape " resembled in alphabet (is similar to I shape girder steel, in the design of I shape box, only there are a fore-and-aft plane instead of two fore-and-aft planes).

Because determine that the special shape of necessity of each plane component of this elongate curved structure and size may be complicated processes, so we find that the dedicated computer software developed in order to this process specially obtains best result.

Especially, in three-dimensional computer Computer Aided Design (CAD) system, a kind of roller coaster track is shown.Therefore, in the description that the computer disposal that rail section, track geometry shape and other side are embodied in track completely in detail obtains.The various piece of track is also configured to assign to construct track with orbit portion.Usually, this track generally designs and is configured to two rail systems, but invention also contemplates a rail, two rails, three rails or even more complicated rail system.

Once design completely and determine rail portion, just main in these parts of the upper formulation of two-dimentional raw material (such as standard steel plate or rod iron).The use of this standard material generally has significant advantage relative to using the conventional method of special and expensive steel (form of rod or pipe).

According to the embodiment of the present invention, traditional cutting or constructing apparatus (such as CUT, mechanical cutter, water cutting machine or other traditional cutter sweep) is then used to cut out from raw steel the two-dimentional partial segments made.These special segmentations preferably have hundreds of or even thousands of detailed descriptions, make the cutting of material can adapt to complicated curve.The general material used is 1/4 of A-36 steel " or 3/8 " plate, although other material is also desirable in substituting configuration or application.

In cutting or after constructing two-dimentional partial segments, according to design with illustrate, generally such as to be welded by traditional method, these sectionals are connected to each other.Carrying out in the construction process of this three-dimensional body from main two-dimentional segmentation, special assembly fixture or bracing frame are necessary these segmentations to be remained on their suitable positions, for being fixed in other segmentation, as will be discussed further below.

Finally, in amusement park rides toy place, the rail portion constructed is fitted together, namely by traditional method of attachment, such as king-bolt and nut, or weld or other traditional attachment method.

Usually, this building method of embodiments of the present invention obtains a kind of compared to an original design more track of making peace the amusement park rides toy more optimized.The track common intensity improved is larger, because track itself is generally do not manufacture stress, and such as thermal stress, bending stress and installation twisting stress.Because the raw material improving track manufactures at them or is not applied in stress between installation period, so the track improved generally has the longer life-span, thus do not need to resemble traditional by heat, bending or both circular rod iron of all using or round steel pipe structure " swan-neck " track need frequent replacement.

As indicated above, the track of improvement can be used in ride-on toy of travelling (such as roller-coaster), high mountain slideway, water garden or other application that wherein wheeled vehicle is advanced along the track with bending section.Similarly, in other environment, it can be used as supporting construction, for fortune robot system (such as motor-driven or non-maneuverable pavement, tramcar etc.), ladder or other Architectural Equipment needing conventional elongate curved structure.

Before the further discussion of each feature presenting embodiments of the present invention, the limitation understanding prior art (i.e. " swan-neck " roller coaster track) is more good.

The limitation of prior art

Fig. 1 is the front view of the roller-coaster of the prior art comprising solid circles track.Roller-coaster 100 comprises the chassis 102 with wheel frame 104, wheel frame 104 thus be connected to one or more main wheel 106, one or more lateral wheel 108 and one or more return pulley 110.One or more main wheel 106, one or more lateral wheel 108 and one or more return pulley 110 roll along solid circles track 112.This roller-coaster 100 general proxy many modern times but belong to the roller-coaster of prior art, its needs are safeguarded frequently to expensive track 112 is conscientious, and described track 112 must Authenticate afresh, repairing or re-construct the security maintaining ride-on toy in chassis 102 by new material termly.

Translate into Fig. 2 A, illustrate in structure or the straight part of existing round steel pipe 200 before bending to roller coaster track.

Fig. 2 B is the diagram of the described part of the roller coaster track 200 of prior art in Fig. 2 A, and it has been subjected to the bending machining in Y dimension.More specifically, the part of round steel pipe 210 has each power applied on each position on it, and namely downward Y power 212 is applied to position 211 place, and power 214 is upwards applied to position 213 place, and power 216 is upwards applied to position 215 place.What thus power 212,214 and 216 combined make a concerted effort causes pipe 210 in Y dimension, bend to structure upwards on its end.Y dimension is clearer in dimensional representation 218.

When with this need the mode swan-neck 210 sufficient heat being applied to pipe 210 continually time, the material of pipe 210 can be applied in sufficient stress.Especially, because the inside of end of pipe 210 folds, the material of the close position 211 of pipe 210 bears high compression.On the other hand, because the same of end of pipe 210 folds, the material of the close position 213 and 215 of pipe 210 bears highly expansion or stretches.The compression of the material in pipe 210 and expanded phase combine and pipe 210 must be caused to have quite low structural intergrity, thus pipe 210 can not bear the load identical with the un-flexed pipe 200 drawn in Fig. 2 A.

Fig. 2 C is the diagram of a part after Y dimension bending machining of the roller-coaster of prior art in Fig. 2 B.More specifically, the pipe 220 be illustrated has the degree of crook slightly lower than the pipe 210 of Fig. 2 B.As known in the industry, what the material generally resembling steel and so on must be more bending than required result is more, because the homogeneous material resembling steel and so on has elasticity to a certain degree.In this respect, processing roller coaster track being configured with pinpoint accuracy is very difficult, because the power of the material in swan-neck 200 and the amount of power can not accurately be determined before actual flexion.Therefore, making the result being similar to pipe 220 is the result that obtained by " repetition test " instead of accurately measuring and carry out the result that constructs in standard.

The roller coaster track of this prior art must curve the curve of mixing so that adapt to the needs of design under normal circumstances.Therefore, the many pipes for the formation of roller coaster track must bear multiple bending machining, are sometimes on identical position.

Fig. 3 A must bear the diagram of a part for the roller coaster track of this prior art of the second bending machining after being the Y dimension bending machining in Fig. 2 A-2C before.In figs. 2 a-2 c at the pipe 200 that Y dimension is bending before pipe 300 representative.

Translate into next width figure, the diagram of the described part of the pipe 300 of Fig. 3 A of the front curve that Fig. 3 B is, it bears the bending machining in the 2nd Z dimension.Thus this second bending machining causes mixing in track and bends, and one bends at Y dimension (Fig. 2 A-2C), and another bends in Z dimension, as what go out represented by dimensional representation 218.

Can recognize pipe 310 have at position 311 place in Z dimension outside (from the paper) applied on it power 312, in Z dimension, apply the power 314 of inside (entering paper) on it at position 313 place and in Z dimension, apply the power 316 of inside (entering paper) on it at position 315 place.These power 312,314 and 316 combine and pipe 310 are bent to the second bend in Z dimension.

With Y dimension is described in figs. 2 a-2 c similar, the pipe 310 in Fig. 3 B bears second group of stress, the compression namely at position 311 place and the expansion at position 317 place or stretching.Therefore, there are multiple compression and expansion two kinds bend, so seriously jeopardize its structural intergrity because pipe 310 bears in the middle body of pipe 310.

Be similar to Fig. 2 C, Fig. 3 C illustrates pipe 320, and pipe 320 is subject to this bending, to reach required form and form.Especially, pipe 320 can experience structural compression and experience structural expansion or stretching at position 327 place at position 321 place, defines compared with that originate in, straight steel pipe (originally not bearing these power) by the roller coaster track weakened.

Fig. 4 A is the diagram of a part for the straight rectangular tube 400 of prior art, and it is the suitable material for the straight structure object of rigidity, but is difficult to bending for bending application or handles.Although it is favourable that this pipe is used for roller coaster track compared to round tube, this rectangular tube is difficult to bending or operation as what further describe.

Translate into next width figure, Fig. 4 B is the diagram during the described part of the rectangular tube of prior art in Fig. 4 A bending machining in Y dimension, thus causes the distortion of the shape of pipe.More specifically, rectangular tube 410 bears downward power 412 at position 411 place in Y dimension, bears power 414 upwards in Y dimension at position 413 place, bears power 416 upwards in Y dimension at position 415 place.

Just as depicted, rectangular tube flattens, flattens or be out of shape by these power jeopardizing the cross sectional shape of rectangular tube 410.More specifically, at position 411 place compressive, the top permanent deformation of rectangular tube 410 is made.Similarly, when visually observing edge 417, inconsistent by the profile at edge 417, visually can determine the structural intergrity of rectangular tube 410.

Similarly, Fig. 4 C is the diagram of described part in Y dimension during bending machining of the rectangular tube of prior art in Fig. 4 A, thus causes the fracture in the integrality of pipe.More specifically, rectangular tube 420 bears downward power 422 at position 421 place in Y dimension, bears power 424 upwards in Y dimension at position 423 place, bears power 426 upwards in Y dimension at position 425 place.As can be appreciated, at position 428 place, the compression stress acted on rectangular tube 420 causes the upper wrinkling or one-tenth waveform in the surface of rectangular tube 420 (may be inner).Similarly, in the material of rectangular tube 420 occur expansion or stretch position on observe crack 427.

Can recognize completely as those skilled in the art, but use the circular steel of solid bar or hollow pipe form be develop under the existing practice of tradition roller coaster track the most effective equipment---this technique needs many progress.List several, but be nonrestrictive, the first, the material itself be used in circular form is expensive.The second, material is difficult to bend to required form suitably, usually causes the method for one " repetition test " to construct required track.As shown in Fig. 2 A-2C and Fig. 3 A-3C, this manufacture process also introduces stress and finally makes rail material be weakened in rail material.

3rd, when material (such as steel) being placed to circular form (such as rod or pipe), compared with triangle, rectangle, I ellbeam or other form time, material structurally intensity is little.Especially, rounded material rigidity when bearing cross force (power transverse to length of material) is less.

Regrettably, as what draw in figs. 4 a-4 c, use rectangle (or other form, such as triangle or I ellbeam) pipe, although in straight section in structure than circular rod or pipe more effective, it is quite complicated for bending to curve.More unfortunately, usually no matter use what material or pipe, must bend in multiple dimension in Mixing Curve, and the distortion of material itself may be needed to adapt to suitable required structure.

New construction and structure thereof

Fig. 5 is the front view of the roller-coaster according to an embodiment of the invention.Roller-coaster 500 comprises chassis 502, and chassis 502 comprises wheel frame 504, and thus wheel frame 504 is connected to one or more main wheel 506, one or more lateral wheel 508 and one or more return pulley 510.Described one or more main wheel 506, one or more lateral wheel 508 and one or more return pulley 510 roll along as the square-section of drawing according to an embodiment of the invention (or " I ellbeam ") track 512.This roller-coaster 500 can utilize rigidity more greatly, the more durable and track 512 that more easily manufactures, described track 512 is by independent planar materials segmented construction and is molded into square-section (or " I ellbeam ") profile.

Another significant advantage of this track 512 is ability track 512 being connected to ground or horizontal surface 520, and this is generally worthless or do not use in the roller-coaster (not shown) of traditional prior art.That is, this connection can adapt with the one or more king-bolts being connected to surface 520.

When material and rigidity contrast, the rigidity of this track is significantly greater than the rigidity of its circular counterpart.In addition, if this material does not meet with stresses during manufacture (such as heating or bending) itself intensity just more greatly and more durable.

In order to the such track 600 of the formal construction of elongate curved, track 600 comprises multiple independent planar materials segmentation (such as steel plate), and they are cut into accurately, concrete required size and dimension.

Translate into next width figure, Fig. 7 is the decomposition diagram of the elongate curved structure according to an embodiment of the invention, and which show this roller coaster track 700 is how can by the planar materials segmented construction of independent such as steel plate and so on.More specifically, first stay 701, second stay 702, top horizontal member 703, bottom level component 704, inner vertical component 705 and inner horizontal component 706 are all cut, and utilize traditional connected mode (such as weld, bond, screw bolt and nut, etc.) to link together.

In a preferred embodiment, the permanent connection of this independent segmentation can be realized by automatic welding machine.According to application and available automaton, one or more special assembly fixture is usually utilized multiple track section to be kept being desirable in a given direction in order to realize permanent connection.Following Brief Discussion is this successfully have been developed and the assembly fixture utilized.

Fig. 8 is the perspective view of the assembly fixture according to an embodiment of the invention.Assembly fixture 800 comprises pedestal 802, vertically supporting leg 804, horizontal gird 806 and various adjuster.Such as, vertical supporting leg 804 preferably configurable and can be designed to allow to be positioned at by crossbeam 806 track section (not shown) suitably can by the height required arbitrarily of locating.Similarly, one or more bolt 808 be configurable with allow by crossbeam 806 at wide angular range interior orientation to adapt to the location of track section.Further preferably, utilize one or more bolt 810 to provide notch track section to be remained on the particular location on crossbeam 806.
