Description

Amusement equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of amusement equipment, it has supporting structure and a wire drive that is used for the toter of human of a fixed-site, toter on supporting structure around.

Background technology

The amusement equipment of type are known by EP A 459789 like this.The drive unit of gondola is realized by motor-driven driving rope by means of two circulations.The shortcoming of this form of implementation is, have only by very high technical fee just can guarantee two separation cable loop synchronously, this is that the diameter of driving-disc or the nuance of circumference all can cause the different transporting velocities of two cable loop because make that two drive units are not enough with identical rotating speed rotation.

Summary of the invention

The objective of the invention is,, wherein guarantee the synchronous of two cable loop for the amusement equipment that start described type improve a kind of amusement equipment.

Above-mentioned purpose realizes like this in amusement equipment of the same type, and a unique rope that self seals promptly is set, and this rope is by constituting two rope slideways (Seilschleifen) that are engaged on the toter across with a transfer.

Because the conveying rope of a unique circulation only is set in the present invention, this rope is connected around the supporting structure placement and with toter with two rope slideways, so guaranteed advancing synchronously of two rope slideways automatically.

Two embodiments are preferred when two rope slideways are connected with toter.

A form of implementation is characterised in that, but carries rope to be engaged on the toter via a sealed connection of friction and the rope sheave of at least one locking is installed on toter, carries rope to be bearing on the described rope sheave.Connect in this embodiment very simply and constitute, lanyard will abut on the contact area of corresponding toter because this will be just by carrying, the frictional force realization that particularly forms on its chassis.

Another preferred form of implementation is characterised in that, carries rope to be connected with toter by means of dismountable anchor clamps.This form of implementation has guaranteed to carry fixedlying connected between rope and the toter, though dismountable clamp technology expense is higher.

With regard to transfer and wire drive, it is preferred that two schemes are arranged in the present invention basically.

The common ground of these two schemes is that transfer has the driving-disc of two coaxial supportings side by side and has a pair of slewing rollers of supporting side by side at entrance side respectively before the transfer and at outlet side after transfer.

The first string is characterised in that each driving-disc is driven and the slewing rollers axis supports in parallel with each other in the other direction.

Second scheme is characterised in that, each driving-disc is by equidirectional driving, the coaxial supporting of a pair of slewing rollers, a pair of in addition slewing rollers axis supports with inclining towards each other, and it is intersected with each other between guider (23) and described other a pair of slewing rollers that a guider and rope slideway are set in the zone of described other a pair of slewing rollers.

Other preferred implementation of the present invention is the content of other dependent claims.

The specific embodiment

The oblique view of an embodiment of amusement equipment of the present invention shown in Figure 1, this amusement equipment are commonly referred to great wheel.This amusement equipment have the supporting structure 1 of the rigidity of a fixed-site, and this supporting structure for example constitutes the armored concrete ring, the toter of gondola form on the armored concrete ring around.Watch from the inlet and the exit region of below, the outer surface 4 of supporting structure constitutes columniform, but it is for example oval also can to have a different therewith shape.Outer surface 4 is straight in entrance area 3, so that provide long horizontal access zone that is not shown specifically for the passenger.Drive unit 5 is set below entrance area 3, and it invisibly is arranged in the machine case in practice.

Track 6 is being set on outer circumference surface 4 on the supporting structure 1, and pulley 7 rolls on this track, and described pulley 7 is bearing in the chassis 8 of gondola 2.The distance that each gondola 2 is connected to each other and keeps being scheduled to via one or more connecting ropes 9, described connecting rope 9 is fixedlyed connected with the chassis 8 of each gondola 2 by means of anchor clamps 10.The jockey that other also can be set is replaced connecting rope 9.Yet it is favourable using three connecting ropes 9 because each gondola 2 obtain each other highly stable be connected reliably.

Also show other the pulley 11 of two couples on each chassis 8 in Fig. 3, described pulley 11 is used to support gondola 2 when gondola 2 is suspended under the supporting structure 1 in inlet and exit region 3.

The platform that may have seat is set in gondola 2, and when gondola rotated around supporting structure 1, described platform remained level by suitable device.

Gondola 2 drives by the rope 12 of a unique sealing, and rope 12 meshes with the pulley 7 on the chassis 8 of two slideway 12a of the both sides of

gondola

2 and 12b and gondola 2.Pulley 7 is used as friction pulley in this embodiment simultaneously, thereby applies a tractive force by the advanced in unison motion of two

rope slideway

12a and 12b via frictional force on pulley 7, and gondola 2 travels forward by this tractive force.By selected power transmission form, gondola 2 is with two rope slideway 12a carrying rope 12 and the half speed motion of 12b.

Pulley 8 in form of implementation shown in Figure 4 with in the form of implementation of Fig. 3, constitute differently, and be the form of 12 pulleys generally, they are each four pairs of side roll at track 6 wherein, other four pulleys roll on the opposed inboard of track 6.The quantity of pulley can be according to load variations.

Figure 4 illustrates other form of the connection between

rope slideway

12a and 12b and the chassis 8.In this form of implementation,

rope slideway

12a and 12b and 13 engagements of friction pulley that each is independent, though described friction pulley can be bearing in rotationally on the chassis 8, can be when normally moving by locking, thus can not rotate.By the friction between rope 12 and the friction pulley 13, gondola is transferred with the speed identical with 12b with rope slideway 12a.The rotatable supporting functions of friction pulley 13 also will be set forth below.

In the zone of drive unit 5,, be provided with two by motor-driven driving-disc 14 as finding out in detail in first form of implementation in Fig. 5 of the present invention.Drive unit rotates along opposite direction of rotation with identical speed.The synchronous operation of two driving-disc 14a, 14b or realize by control technology measure or the mechanical couplings by two drive units.Two couples of slewing rollers 16a, 16b and 17a, 17b are set above drive unit 14a, 14b, and their rotation is provided with offseting with respect to each.Biasing setting by slewing rollers can be intersected two

rope slideway

12a and 12b in the zone of drive unit 5.Particularly, the rope of the rope slideway 12a that sails into from the left side in Fig. 5 is advanced through slewing rollers 16a and driving-disc 14a, and then passes through slewing rollers 17b, comes out from drive unit 5 at last, is transformed into rope slideway 12b.Opposite is that the rope of the rope slideway 12b that sails into from the left side in Fig. 5 is advanced and passed through slewing rollers 16b and driving-disc 14b, passes through slewing rollers 17a, and is come out by drive unit 5, is transformed into rope slideway 12a.In other words, be transformed into rope slideway 12b by drive unit 5 ropes 12 from rope slideway 12a, and be transformed into rope slideway 12a from rope slideway 12b.

Because two

rope slideway

12a and 12b are made of the rope of a unique sealing, so guaranteed the absolute synchronization of two

rope slideway

12a and 12b, thereby the nothing of guaranteeing gondola 2 is advanced obliquely, this not only makes the mounting cost of chassis 8 on the track 6 of supporting structure 1 minimize, and makes that the wearing and tearing of chassis and track are as much as possible little.

After being installed, must at first debug amusement equipment of the present invention drive unit.This is necessary, has absolute identical diameter and circumference because two driving-disc 14a, 14b so accurately make, and this is necessary because only use unique one around rope and two rope slideway 12a must be driven to identical speed with 12b.

By the geometry difference of two rope slideway 12a of debugging elimination and 12b, this at first realizes by the mechanical wear on driving-disc 14a and/or 14b.In debug process always advantageously, if gondola 2 need not to move together.Owing to such reason, friction pulley 13 at first can rotate freely in the embodiment of Fig. 4, thereby carries rope 12 to slide on friction pulley 13, and gondola 2 need not motion.In case debugging finishes, friction pulley 13 is by locking, thus gondola 2 by the sealed connection of friction between rope 12 and the friction pulley 13 with the speed motion identical with rope 12.

As by can seeing in the accompanying drawing, rope 12 from external support on pulley or friction pulley 7 and 13, thereby except the connecting rope 9 of tensioning, the rope 12 of tensioning also is pressed on the chassis 8 of gondola 2 on the track 6.Yet the initial place rope 12 at inlet and exit region 3 breaks away from from pulley or friction pulley 7,13, because rope 12 extends towards slewing rollers 16a, 16b as the crow flies, and guide rail 4 is with track 6 horizontal-extendings.Till rope 12 and pulley or friction pulley 7,13 kept in touch again, gondola 2 drove by connecting rope 9, and the chassis 8 by this connecting rope gondola 2 remains pressed against on the track 6.As mentioned above, pulley 11 (Fig. 3) additionally is set or radially is positioned at inner pulley to 8 (Fig. 4), described pulley 11 or pulley stop gondola 2 to lift from track 6 to 8.

Replacing sealed connection of friction between the chassis 8 of rope 12 and friction pulley 13 (Fig. 4) or pulley (Fig. 3) form possible in principle is, being connected between the rope 12 of selecting other form and the chassis 8.For example dismountable coupling element can be set on the chassis, in the initial place of inlet and exit region 3 gondola 2 and rope 12 be broken away from coupling by means of this coupling element, and they are coupled again at this regional termination.

Replacement form of implementation at drive unit 5 shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.Two driving-

disc

18a and 18b are set, and they are connected to each other rigidly with identical direction rotation and via axle 21 in this form of implementation.Driving-

disc

18a and 18b are driven by one or two motor 22, wherein preferably use two motors 22, this is that amusement equipment can continue operation with less power in case of necessity because break away from coupling by the motor that will break down with axle 21 when a motor breaks down.

In the form of implementation shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, two coaxial mounted

slewing rollers

20a and 20b are set, and two

slewing rollers

19a and 19b are set, the setting that inclines towards each other of the pivot center of these two

slewing rollers

19a and 19b at entrance side at outlet side.This external entrance side was provided with a guider 23 before two

slewing rollers

19a and 19b, this guider has two coaxial supportings and

rope dish

24a and 24b that rotate each other.Intersecting between guider 23 and two slewing rollers 19a and the 19b of two

rope slideway

12a and 12b realizes.Specifically, the rope of the rope slideway 12a that sails into from the left side in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 is advanced and is led to slewing rollers 19b through rope dish 24a on the guider 23, then through driving-disc 18b, next through slewing rollers 20b guiding, and come out by drive unit 5, be transformed into rope slideway 12b.Opposite is, the rope of the rope slideway 12b that sails into from the left side is advanced through the following rope dish 24b of guider 23, below the rope of rope slideway 12a, pass, and come out by drive unit 5, be transformed into rope slideway 12a through slewing rollers 19a, driving-disc 18a and slewing rollers 20a.

Though have an additional guider 23 with comparing according to the form of implementation of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 according to the form of implementation of the drive unit of Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, this form of implementation also has above-mentioned advantage, and promptly the mechanical couplings that provides by means of axle 21 makes driving-

disc

18a and 18b driven in synchronism.
