Abstract: The invention relates to an observation wheel type ride comprising a wheel, multiple passenger cabins supported by the wheel, a drive mechanism for rotating the wheel about its rotational axis, and a support structure that supports the wheel. The wheel furthermore comprises two first bearings (114), provided with a first bearing locking mechanism (116), and two second bearings (115), provided with a second bearing locking mechanism (118). Each bearing locking mechanism (116, 118) can selectively be converted between a locking condition, in which it prevents rotational movement of a bearing inner ring (114A, 115A) relative to a bearing outer ring (114B, 115B), and an unlocking condition, in which it allows for rotational movement of the first bearing inner ring (114A, 115A) relative to the first bearing outer ring (114B, 115B). Providing the second bearings (115) allows for rotational movement of the wheel about the rotational axis of its support axle (113) when the first bearing locking mechanisms (116) are in their locking condition.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种观察轮式驾驶，包括车轮，由车轮支撑的多个乘客舱，用于围绕其旋转轴线旋转车轮的驱动机构和支撑车轮的支撑结构。 车轮还包括设置有第一轴承锁定机构（116）的两个第一轴承（114）和设置有第二轴承锁定机构（118）的两个第二轴承（115）。 每个轴承锁定机构（116,118）可以选择性地在锁定状态之间转换，在锁定状态中，其阻止轴承内圈（114A，115A）相对于轴承外圈（114B，115B）的旋转运动，以及解锁状态 ，其中允许第一轴承内圈（114A，115A）相对于第一轴承外圈（114B，115B）的旋转运动。 当第一轴承锁定机构（116）处于其锁定状态时，提供第二轴承（115）允许轮围绕其支撑轴（113）的旋转轴线的旋转运动。
