A roller coaster track changing device

Abstract

The invention provides a track-change device of a roller coaster. The track-change device comprises a main track, a rotating track and a drive device, wherein the area surrounded by the main track isan overhaul area, and a plurality of overhaul tracks are arranged in the overhaul area; the rotating track is arranged on the main track, the rotating track is provided with a rotation shaft, and therotating track is rotatably arranged on the main track by adopting the rotation shaft as the axis; the drive device drives the rotating track to rotate, wherein under the non-overhaul state, two endsof the rotating track are connected with and fixed with the main track, and serve as one part of the main track; and when track-change overhaul is needed, the drive device drives the rotating track torotate along the rotation shaft and enables one end of the rotating track to be connected with the overhaul tracks. With the device, while the track-change overhaul of the plurality of overhaul tracks is realized, the integral occupied area of the device can be effectively reduced, the overhaul and maintenance cost of the roller coaster is effectively reduced, and the overhaul period is effectively shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of large-scale amusement equipment, in particular to a track changing device for a roller coaster. Background technique [0002] Common roller coaster structures in the prior art include climbing, sliding, and reversing, and are a machine that uses gravity and inertia to make the train travel along a winding track. During the long-term operation of the roller coaster, the body of the roller coaster needs to be repaired and maintained according to a predetermined cycle. In the prior art, a traversing rail car is preset at a pre-lane changing position on the roller coaster track, and through the movement of the traversing rail car, A section of the track is moved to the maintenance line track and connected with the maintenance line track. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which a traversing railcar is connected to a main rail in the prior art as described above. figure 2 is...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] based on Figure 1 to Figure 3 The shown traversing rail car in the prior art has been found in long-term practice, because two sections of traversing rail car need to be set on the main track to meet the requirements of track change, and when changing track to maintenance track In the process, it is necessary to move the railcars laterally to complete the track changing work. In this way, on the one hand, there are great limitations in the track design. The number of inspection tracks set on one side of the main track is severely limited. Usually, due to the limitation of the site and other conditions, in the existing track design for track change inspection, only two inspection tracks can be set. When a roller coaster needs multiple inspection tracks for parking vehicles to be inspected, it is necessary to set up additional inspection tracks at other locations, which requires more space and increases considerable equipment and maintenance costs
