Patent

CA 2614882

The invention is concerned with a ferris wheel. It has a system for measuring a deformation of it, comprising one or more sensors, providing a source and a target, to detect mutual displacement of the hub (3) and the rim (1), with which an unallowable twisting between hub and rim can be detected. The motoric driving system is provided with one or more rollers, comprising a rigid roller rim of cast metal and thereon a pneumatic tyre of flexible thin walled material, filled with a foam material. It further has a system to protect against dynamic wind loads, comprising close to each gondola (2), a mounted damper (11), directed perpendicular to the rotation plane of the gondolas, which damper has an at both ends closed, liquid filled tube containing a displaceable heavy element which with a spring element is displaceably mounted in the tube.

L'invention concerne une grande roue possédant un système pour mesurer sa déformation, comportant un ou plusieurs capteurs, constituant une source et une cible, pour détecter le déplacement mutuel du moyeu (3) et de la roue (1) et permettant la détection de toute torsion non autorisée entre le moyeu et la roue. Le système d'entraînement motorisé est doté d'un ou plusieurs galets, comprenant une roue à galet rigide en métal coulé, recouverte d'un pneumatique en matière souple à parois minces, rempli d'une matière en mousse. Il comprend également un système de protection contre les contraintes dynamiques dues au vent, un amortisseur monté (11) étant prévu à proximité de chaque nacelle (2), perpendiculaire au plan de rotation des nacelles, et comprenant au niveau de ses deux extrémités fermées, un tube rempli de liquide contenant un élément lourd mobile qui, conjointement avec un élément formant ressort, est monté mobile dans le tube.
