Abstract

A parking track of a gondola lift or chair-lift comprises straight sections and curved sections and chains for driving cars on this track. On the straight sections the cars follow one another closely or almost touching and on the curved sections with a greater clearance sufficient to pass without the risk of one another colliding.

Description

L'invention est relative à une installation de transport à câble aérien, notamment télécabine ou télésiège ayant des véhicules, notamment des cabines et des sièges suspendus à des pinces d'accouplement au câble, ayant des galets de roulement, lesdites pinces étant susceptibles d'être débrayées du câble aérien dans les stations et de circuler sur une voie de transfert et/ou de garage avant d'être réaccouplées au câble, ladite voie comprenant des tronçons droits et des tronçons courbes et un moyen d'entraînement des véhicules.The invention relates to an overhead cable transport installation, in particular a cable car or chairlift having vehicles, in particular cabins and seats suspended from cable coupling clamps, having rollers, said clamps being capable of be disconnected from the overhead cable in stations and travel on a transfer and / or garage track before being re-coupled to the cable, said track comprising straight sections and curved sections and a vehicle drive means.

Dans une installation connue du genre mentionné, les véhicules défilent à vitesse rapide sur la ligne, en étant entraînés par le câble aérien et à vitesse lente dans la station après désaccouplement du câble. Les véhicules désaccouplés du câble circulent sur la voie de transfert de la station en se tamponnant souvent les uns contre les autres et il a déjà été proposé d'équiper la voie de transfert d'une chaîne de propulsion maintenant une certaine distance entre les véhicules. Cet écartement est suffisant pour éviter tout contact ou collision entre les véhicules qui se suivent, même sur les tronçons courbes de la voie, mais il diminue le nombre de véhicules présents simultanément sur la voie. L'intervalle entre les véhicules dans les zones d'embarquement et de débarquement peut être gênant. Le même problème se pose pour les voies de garage équipées de moyens d'entraînement où l'écartement des véhicules sur les tronçons droits diminue la capacité de stockage.In a known installation of the kind mentioned, the vehicles pass at high speed on the line, being driven by the overhead cable and at slow speed in the station after uncoupling of the cable. Vehicles uncoupled from the cable circulate on the transfer path of the station, often buffering against each other and it has already been proposed to equip the transfer path with a propulsion chain maintaining a certain distance between the vehicles. This spacing is sufficient to avoid any contact or collision between the vehicles which follow one another, even on curved sections of the track, but it reduces the number of vehicles present simultaneously on the track. The interval between vehicles in the embarkation and disembarkation areas can be inconvenient. The same problem arises for the garage tracks equipped with drive means where the spacing of the vehicles on the straight sections decreases the storage capacity.

La présente invention a pour but de permettre la réalisation d'un moyen d'entraînement des véhicules dans la station sans risque de tamponnement tout en maintenant un écartement minimal.The present invention aims to allow the realization of a vehicle drive means in the station without risk of buffering while maintaining a minimum spacing.

L'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que ledit moyen d'entraînement est agencé pour entraîner les véhicules sur les tronçons droits en se suivant de près ou en se touchant quasiment et sur les tronçons courbes avec un espacement supérieur suffisant au franchissement des tronçons courbes sans risque de collision entre les véhicules se suivant.The installation according to the invention is characterized in that said drive means is arranged to drive the vehicles on the straight sections by following closely or almost touching each other and on the curved sections with a greater spacing sufficient to cross the curved sections without risk of collision between the following vehicles.

L'écartement des véhicules est déterminé d'une part par le rayon de courbure de la plus forte courbe de la voie et d'autre part par les dimensions, notamment la largeur des véhicules. Pour varier cet écartement il suffit de modifier la vitesse d'entraînement, en l'occurrence d'accélerer les véhicules dans les courbes, tout en conservant.la vitesse lente sur les tronçons droits correspondant à la vitesse optimale pour l'embarquement et le débarquement des passagers.The spacing of the vehicles is determined on the one hand by the radius of curvature of the steepest curve of the track and on the other hand by the dimensions, in particular the width of the vehicles. To vary this spacing, you just have to modify the drive speed, in this case to accelerate the vehicles in the curves, while maintaining the slow speed on the straight sections corresponding to the optimal speed for boarding and disembarking. passengers.

L'accélération dans les courbes est avantageusement obtenue par un moyen d'entraînement séparé, notamment une chaîne à vitesse synchronisée plus rapide pour conserver l'échelonnement régulier. La chaîne peut être remplacée par une roue portant sur la circonférence des taquets d'entraînement ou par un train de roues à bandage pneumatique du genre utilisé sur les tronçons d'accélération et de décélération. La même chaîne est utilisable pour l'entraînement sur les tronçons droits et courbes, si l'on prend soin de faire suivre aux véhicules une trajectoire plus longue dans les courbes que celle de la chaîne pour obtenir l'accélération recherchée. Les moyens d'entraînement sont bien entendu adaptés au type d'installation, ces moyens étant simplifiés lorsqu'ils équipent une voie de stockage et plus élaborés pour une voie de transfert à passage permanent des véhicules.The acceleration in the curves is advantageously obtained by a separate drive means, in particular a chain with faster synchronized speed to keep the regular staggering. The chain can be replaced by a wheel bearing on the circumference of the driving cleats or by a wheel train with pneumatic tires of the kind used on the acceleration and deceleration sections. The same chain can be used for driving on straight and curved sections, if care is taken to make vehicles follow a longer trajectory in curves than that of the chain to obtain the desired acceleration. The drive means are of course adapted to the type of installation, these means being simplified when they equip a storage path and more elaborate for a transfer path with permanent passage of vehicles.

L'invention est applicable à toute installation à véhicules débrayables, monocâble ou multicâble, notamment aux télécabines, dans lesquelles les chocs entre les véhicules doivent être évités pour des raisons d'usure du matériel et de confort des passagers.The invention is applicable to any installation with detachable vehicles, single cable or multi cable, in particular to cable cars, in which impacts between vehicles must be avoided for reasons of wear of the equipment and passenger comfort.

Sur les figures, une station d'une télécabine à câble porteur- tracteur 10 comporte une poulie 12 d'extrémité à axe vertical sur laquelle passe le câble 10. Au câble 10 sont accouplées en ligne des cabines 14, qui à l'entrée 16 de la station sont désaccouplées du câble 10. A la sortie 18 de la station les cabines 14 sont réaccouplées à la voie opposée du câble d'une manière bien connue. Chaque cabine 14 comporte une suspente 20 de fixation à un chariot 22 de support d'une ou de deux pinces 24, sollicitées en position de fermeture par des ressorts 26. Un levier de commande 28 coopère avec un rail de commande 30 pour commander l'ouverture et la fermeture de la pince et l'accouplement et le désaccouplement de la pince 24 au câble 10. Le chariot 22 à galets 32, 34 roule dans la station, après désaccouplement du câble 10, sur un rail 40 de transfert reliant les deux voies du câble 10 en étant entraîné soit par des roues à pneumatiques 38, agissant sur une face de friction 36 du chariot 22, soit par une chaîne 46 ayant des taquets d'entraînement 48 qui coopèrent avec la suspente 20. Le guide 50 de la chaîne 46 est solidarisé par un support 52 au rail 40. Des rails 44 de garage sont raccordés aux rails 40 de transfert par des aiguillages 54 permettant l'orientation des cabines vers la zone de stockage en fin de journée et le recyclage des cabines 14 au démarrage de l'installation. Les rails 44 de garage sont disposés en boucle pour obtenir une capacité maximale de stockage des cabines, la trajectoire dépendant bien entendu des surfaces disponibles. Les roues à pneumatiques 38 sont disposées à l'entrée 1 de la station pour décélérer les cabines désaccouplées du câble, à la sortie 1e pour accélérer les cabines avant leur réaccouplement au câble et dans les zones d'aiguillages 54. La chaîne 46 de transfert s'étend le long du rail 40 pour entraîner à vitesse réduite les cabines 14 pour l'embarquement et le débarquement des passagers. De telles télécabines sont bien connues des spécialistes.In the figures, a station of a gondola with a carrying cable-tractor 10 comprises a pulley 12 at the end with a vertical axis on which the cable 10 passes. To the cable 10 are cabins 14 connected in line, which at the entrance 16 from the station are uncoupled from the cable 10. At the outlet 18 of the station the cabins 14 are re-coupled to the opposite channel of the cable in a well known manner. Each cabin 14 includes a hanger 20 for attachment to a carriage 22 for supporting one or two clamps 24, urged in the closed position by springs 26. A control lever 28 cooperates with a control rail 30 to control the opening and closing of the clamp and coupling and uncoupling of the clamp 24 to the cable 10. The carriage 22 with rollers 32, 34 rolls in the station, after uncoupling of the cable 10, on a transfer rail 40 connecting the two cable tracks 10 being driven either by pneumatic wheels 38, acting on a friction face 36 of the carriage 22, or by a chain 46 having driving lugs 48 which cooperate with the hanger 20. The guide 50 of the chain 46 is secured by a support 52 to the rail 40. Garage rails 44 are connected to the transfer rails 40 by switches 54 allowing orientation from the cabins to the storage area at the end of the day and the recycling of cabins 14 at the start of the installation. The garage rails 44 are arranged in a loop to obtain a maximum storage capacity for the cabins, the trajectory of course depending on the surfaces available. The pneumatic wheels 38 are arranged at the input 1 of the station to decelerate the uncoupled cabins of the cable, at the output 1e to accelerate the cabins before their re-coupling to the cable and in the switching zones 54. The transfer chain 46 extends along the rail 40 to drive the cabins 14 for boarding and disembarking passengers at reduced speed. Such gondolas are well known to specialists.

En se référant plus particulièrement à la figure 5, on voit que les rails de garage 44 comportent des tronçons droits 56 parallèles, reliés aux extrémités par des tronçons courbes 58, 60. L'écartement des tronçons parallèles droits 56 est légèrement supérieur à la largeur des cabines 14 pour stocker ces dernières en rangées à écartement minimal et le rayon des courbes 58, 60 est bien entendu déterminé par cet écartement. Les cabines 14 sont entraînées positivement le long des rails 44 de garage par des chaînes 62, 64, 66 s'étendant respectivement suivant les tronçons droits 56, les tronçons courbes extérieurs 58 et les tronçons courbes intérieurs 60. La ou les chaînes 62 des tronçons droits 56 portent des taquets d'entraînement 68 dont l'écartement I est légèrement supérieur à la longueur des cabines 14, de telle manière que deux cabines 14 successives sont quasiment au contact mais sans risque de ._se tamponner. On évite ainsi les chocs entre les cabines 14 tout en occupant un espace minimal de stockage. Il est facile de voir que cet intervalle est trop faible pour le parcours d'un tronçon courbe 58, 60, les angles internes des cabines 14 venant au contact. Selon l'invention, la cabine abordant un tronçon courbe 58, 60 est prise en charge par une autre chaîne 64, 66 ayant des taquets d'entraînement 70, 72 à écartement I', I" supérieur, garantissant un passage de la courbe sans collision entre les cabines. Pour conserver une circulation continue des cabines 14 la vitesse des chaînes 64, 66 doit être supérieure à celle de la chaîne 62, dans le rapport des écartements. Dans l'exemple illustré par les figures 2 et 5 les chaînes successives 62, 64; 64, 66 passent sur des roues dentées 74, 76 solidaires d'un même axe 78 entraîné par un moteur 80, le diamètre de la roue 74 de la chaîne 62 étant inférieur au diamètre de la roue 76 entraînant la chaîne 64 plus rapide. Le synchronisme est ainsi parfaitement conservé et les cabines-14 se déplacent plus rapidement sur les tronçons courbes 58, 60 que sur les tronçons droits 56. La même chaîne 62 peut s'étendre le long de deux tronçons droits 56 ou de l'ensemble des tronçons droits des voies de garage, l'entraînement pouvant être réalisé d'une manière quelconque, par exemple dérivé du câble 10. Les brins de retour des chaînes peuvent suivre une trajectoire quelconque, soit parallèle au brin actif, soit raccourcie. De même, tous les tronçons courbes 58, 60 peuvent être équipés d'une seule chaîne, la solution à plusieurs chaînes étant toutefois préférable lorsque les tronçons sont éloignés les uns des autres. Ces chaînes peuvent avoir des taquets 70, 72 à espacement différents selon le rayon de courbure de la courbe ou selon le type de courbe, extérieure ou intérieure, la vitesse étant dans ce cas également différente. Il est clair que l'entraînement peut être effectué d'une manière différente sur certains ou sur l'ensemble des tronçons, notamment par des roues à bandages pneumatiques et que les trajectoires sont quelconques.Referring more particularly to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the garage rails 44 have straight straight sections 56 parallel, connected at the ends by curved sections 58, 60. The spacing of the straight parallel sections 56 is slightly greater than the width cabins 14 for storing the latter in rows with minimum spacing and the radius of the curves 58, 60 is of course determined by this spacing. The cabins 14 are positively driven along the garage rails 44 by chains 62, 64, 66 extending respectively along the straight sections 56, the curved outside sections 58 and the inside curved sections 60. The chain or chains 62 of the sections straight 56 carry drive tabs 68 whose spacing I is slightly greater than the length of the cabins 14, so that two successive cabins 14 are almost in contact but without the risk of being buffered. This prevents shocks between the cabins 14 while occupying a minimum storage space. It is easy to see that this interval is too small for the course of a curved section 58, 60, the internal angles of the cabins 14 coming into contact. According to the invention, the cabin approaching a curved section 58, 60 is supported by another chain 64, 66 having driving tabs 70, 72 with spacing I ', I "greater, guaranteeing a passage of the curve without collision between cabins. To maintain traffic continuous cabins 14 the speed of the chains 64, 66 must be higher than that of the chain 62, in the spacing ratio. In the example illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 5, the successive chains 62, 64; 64, 66 pass on toothed wheels 74, 76 integral with the same axis 78 driven by a motor 80, the diameter of the wheel 74 of the chain 62 being less than the diameter of the wheel 76 driving the chain 64 faster. Synchronism is thus perfectly preserved and the cabs-14 move more quickly on the curved sections 58, 60 than on the straight sections 56. The same chain 62 can extend along two straight sections 56 or all of the straight sections of the garage tracks, the drive being able to be carried out in any way, for example derived from the cable 10. The return strands of the chains can follow any trajectory, either parallel to the active strand, or shortened. Likewise, all the curved sections 58, 60 can be equipped with a single chain, the solution with several chains being however preferable when the sections are distant from each other. These chains can have tabs 70, 72 at different spacing depending on the radius of curvature of the curve or according to the type of curve, exterior or interior, the speed in this case also being different. It is clear that the drive can be carried out in a different way on some or on all of the sections, in particular by wheels with pneumatic tires and that the trajectories are arbitrary.

La figure 6 illustre une variante de réalisation pour un entraînement à vitesse différentielle par une même chaîne 82 à taquets 84 relativement longs. La chaîne 82 suit la trajectoire du rail de garage 44 du côté intérieur à une certaine distance en passant sur une roue dentée 86 concentrique au tronçon courbe 58. Il est facile de voir qu'une vitesse angulaires de la roue 86 impose une vitesse linéaire ω R1, R1 étant le rayon de la roue 86, aux cabines sur le tronçon droit 56 et une vitesse circonférentielle ω R2 sur le tronçon courbe 58, R2 étant le rayon de courbure de la courbe 58. L'effet d'accélération est ainsi obtenu automatiquement. D'autres réalisations analogues sont concevables, la roue dentée 86 pouvant être remplacée par d'autres guidages.FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment for a differential speed drive by the same chain 82 with relatively long cleats 84. The chain 82 follows the trajectory of the garage rail 44 from the interior side at a certain distance by passing over a toothed wheel 86 concentric to the curved section 58. It is easy to see that an angular speed of the wheel 86 imposes a linear speed ω R 1 , R 1 being the radius of the wheel 86, at the cabins on the straight section 56 and a circumferential speed ω R 2 on the curved section 58, R 2 being the radius of curvature of the curve 58. The effect of acceleration is thus obtained automatically. Other achievements analogues are conceivable, the toothed wheel 86 can be replaced by other guides.

Le fonctionnement de la télécabine découle de l'exposé précédent.The operation of the gondola follows from the previous presentation.

L'invention a été décrite comme étant appliquée à des voies de garage, mais elle présente les mêmes avantages de rapprochement maximal des cabines sur une voie de transfert 40, évitant ainsi des espacements des cabines alignées lelong des quais d'embarquement et de débarquement.Si la voie dé transfert est utilisée comme voie de stockage, sa capacité est accrue en conséquence. Le gain est d'autant plus important que les véhicules, qui peuvent être des cabines, bennes ou sièges, sont larges et l'invention est applicable à toute installation, monocâble, bicâble débrayable à circulation continue ou non. Si le rayon de courbure de certaines courbes est suffisamment grand pour éviter des collisions, ces courbes ne nécessitent pas un entraînement accéléré des cabines.The invention has been described as being applied to garage tracks, but it has the same advantages of maximum approximation of the cabins on a transfer track 40, thus avoiding spacings of the cabins aligned along the embarkation and disembarkation platforms. If the transfer route is used as a storage route, its capacity is increased accordingly. The gain is all the more important as the vehicles, which can be cabins, tippers or seats, are wide and the invention is applicable to any installation, single-cable, disengageable double-cable with continuous circulation or not. If the radius of curvature of certain curves is large enough to avoid collisions, these curves do not require accelerated cab driving.

L'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de mise en oeuvre décrit.The invention is not limited to the mode of implementation described.
