Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for guiding floating bodies on a water surface, the floating bodies being connected via traction means to an entraining means which is guided in a rotating manner via steering devices.
- DE19543614A1 describes an underwater cable car that has gondolas as floating bodies. These floats are detachably connected to a towing means guided by a steering device firmly anchored to the bottom of a body of water. If the towing means is set in motion by a drive, the floating bodies are moved along one of the
- Drag line guide device drawn under water because the float due to their own buoyancy over the
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a device for guiding floating bodies which, regardless of the depth of the water, enables the use of commercially available boats as floating bodies even with varying water levels.
- the invention solves the problem in that at least one
- Steering device is connected to a buoyancy element mounted floating under water relative to an anchor.
- the device according to the invention has a plurality of steering devices which are arranged distributed in a body of water and thus predetermine an orbit of an entraining means guided by the steering devices and set in motion by a drive.
- the steering device can be formed, for example, by a deflection roller which serves as a guide for an entraining means, for example an (endless) rope, a chain, or a toothed belt.
- an entraining means for example an (endless) rope, a chain, or a toothed belt.
- the at least one steering device is arranged on a buoyancy element which is suspended on an anchor due to the buoyancy force so that it is suspended under water, so that the towing means is not at the water surface but under water at a defined distance from the Reason runs.
- the anchor itself, which is either inseparable from the connecting elements
- Water base is connected, or forms a sufficiently heavy stripping body, which enables a particularly simple installation of the device according to the invention, is connected to the buoyancy element via an anchor pulling means, the length of which falls below the prevailing water depth. This way, everyone is there to transfer the drive to the
- the anchor pulling means can be releasably connected to the buoyancy element, or can be height-adjustable, so that the buoyancy element can be shifted between an operating position under water and a maintenance position on the water surface.
- a traction means To drive the floats that For example, commercially available boats can be transmitted, these are either detachably or non-detachably connected to the towing means by a traction means.
- the traction device must be designed so that on the one hand the
- buoyancy element be connected to a
- Shear anchor is connected to absorb horizontal tensile forces.
- the tensile forces transmitted from the towing means to the buoyancy element which point in the direction of the center of the orbit predetermined by the towing means, can be absorbed if the transverse force anchor is arranged in front of the anchor, in particular in the direction of the tensile force.
- the natural gradient of the ground can be used particularly advantageously if the shear anchor is at the level of the
- the transverse force anchor can lie in the effective axis of the tensile forces in the direction of the center of the orbit predetermined by the towing means, which results in a particularly favorable introduction of force into the bank bottom.
- a steering device be designed as a drive for the towing means, which is cooled by the surrounding water.
- a separate cooling for the drive nor additional deflection systems to drives arranged outside the water are required.
- several steering devices can each have a drive.
- an electric motor can be used as the drive, which drives a shaft the steering device is connected.
- the drive can be cooled directly by water flowing around it, or indirectly via a heat exchanger and a coolant that is circulated.
- a simple pull-resistant traction means such as a rope
- a simple pull-resistant traction means can be sufficient during a braking operation of the towing means in order to transmit the forces required for braking the floating body to the floating body.
- a defined braking process can be avoided while avoiding a
- Lurching or pounding of the boat hull can only be achieved if the traction means is both tensile and pressure-resistant, that is, for example, is designed as a push rod. So that a safe operation of the device according to the invention is made possible with a varying water level and thus with a varying distance between the plane spanned by the towing means and the water surface, a push rod can be provided between the towing means and the floating body, the length of which is the distance from
- the traction means comprises two traction elements arranged one behind the other in the towing direction, the traction element arranged in the towing direction being attached to the bow on the boat side and the traction element arranged in the towing direction being attached to a boat as a floating body.
- the tension elements can only be designed to be tensile, for example as ropes, and connect the towing means to the boat as a floating body in such a way that the boat has a certain sliding radius, which at the same time forms a safety area around it.
- a traction element arranged downstream of the towing direction
- Trailing axis is pivotally mounted. Through a The boat's longitudinal axis can be specifically adjusted to the changing towing direction, thus preventing the occurrence of high centrifugal and lateral forces on the boat hull.
- the turning neck can be pivoted, for example, electrically, or via contact surfaces arranged on the buoyancy element or on the steering device.
- the buoyancy element or the steering device can have a contact surface. In a particularly preferred embodiment, not only is that in
- Towing element arranged upstream of the towing direction is equipped with a gooseneck-shaped turning neck, so that not only the stern area, but also the bow area of the boat can be moved transversely to the towing direction and the boat can be freely rotated for turning maneuvers.
- the steering device can have a second contact surface, the two contact surfaces, for example, having a different design
- the turning necks can also be pivoted individually along the respective traction element guideway by means of contact bodies also arranged at the respective height of the contact surface.
- cables can be attached to the gooseneck-shaped turning necks that
- Swivel movement with a time delay can be transferred from the turning necks to the boat.
- one rope can connect to the turning necks, for example in the case of particularly large boats also several ropes, or connections which are obvious to the person skilled in the art, can be provided per turning neck.
- the traction means can float around in the water without direction due to the lack of traction from the towing means, which means that there is a risk of foreign objects getting tangled up given is.
- the traction devices In order to encourage the traction devices to remain below the boat or the float, it is proposed that the
- Traction means for the pretensioning tensioning body are provided.
- Tensioning bodies for example output bodies, or buoyancy bodies, which can be attached to the traction means, are conceivable.
