Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à une installation aérienne de transport collectif de personnes ayant des véhicules roulant sur des câbles porteurs et des stations d'embarquement et de débarquement des personnes, au moins une des stations, située en milieu urbain, présentant un emplacement d'arrêt du véhicule, disposé en hauteur au-dessus de la voirie, ledit emplacement d'arrêt étant écarté transversalement d'un emplacement d'accès des personnes situé au sol.The invention relates to an aerial public transport installation for persons having vehicles carrying carrying cables and to loading and unloading stations for persons, at least one of the stations, situated in an urban environment, having a location of stopping the vehicle, arranged in height above the road, said stopping location being spaced transversely from a grounded persons access location.

Une telle installation de transport urbain est connue par DE 23 48 017 A1 .Such an urban transport facility is known by DE 23 48 017 A1 .

État de la techniqueState of the art

Dans les téléphériques urbains les voies de circulation des véhicules sont généralement implantées en hauteur, au-dessus du niveau de la circulation urbaine, au milieu de la rue et les véhicules s'arrêtent devant des quais, eux-mêmes disposés en hauteur en bordure de la voie. L'accès à ces quais nécessite des escaliers, des ascenseurs, des escalators,... et des passerelles et de ce fait une importante infrastructure.In urban cable cars, vehicle taxiways are generally located high up, above the level of urban traffic, in the middle of the street and the vehicles stop in front of platforms, themselves arranged in height on the edge of the road. the way. Access to these docks requires stairs, lifts, escalators, ... and footbridges and therefore an important infrastructure.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

Dans le transport urbain, il se pose pour chaque station une double optimisation; d'une part de volume et de transparence pour une meilleure insertion dans le tissu urbain et d'autre part d'emprise au sol pour empiéter au minimum sur la voierie, notamment sur les trottoirs.In urban transport, there is a double optimization for each station; on the one hand volume and transparency for a better insertion in the urban fabric and secondly on the ground to encroach on at least the road, especially on the sidewalks.

Les voies de téléphériques urbains sont ainsi au-dessus et au milieu de la chaussée, éloignées latéralement des trottoirs où circulent normalement les utilisateurs de l'installation aérienne.The urban cableway lanes are thus above and in the middle of the roadway, away from the sidewalks where the users of the air facility normally move.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une station simplifiée, dépourvue de quais d'embarquement et de débarquement, au niveau et en bordure de l'emplacement d'arrêt du véhicule.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simplified station, without loading and unloading docks, at and at the edge of the stopping place of the vehicle.

L'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que un mécanisme automatique transfère les personnes de l'emplacement d'accès au sol vers l'emplacement en hauteur d'arrêt du véhicule et que le mécanisme automatique est implanté dans la zone d'accès des personnes sur le trottoir et comporte un moyen élévateur conjugué à un moyen de translation transversale.The installation according to the invention is characterized in that an automatic mechanism transfers the persons from the ground access location to the stopping height position of the vehicle and that the automatic mechanism is implanted in the parking area. access of people on the sidewalk and comprises a lifting means combined with a transverse translation means.

Les personnes désirant embarquer entrent dans une cabine du type ascenseur, à l'arrêt au sol à l'emplacement d'accès, avantageusement en bordure de la chaussée sur le trottoir. En synchronisme avec l'arrivée et l'arrêt du véhicule en station, le moyen élévateur, par exemple constitué par un vérin, soulève la cabine au niveau du véhicule et le moyen de translation, par exemple en forme de tiroir, amène et accole la cabine au véhicule. La cabine a, d'une manière usuelle, une porte s'ouvrant en même temps que la porte du véhicule pour permettre le passage des personnes de la cabine dans le véhicule. Inversement des personnes peuvent débarquer du véhicule en entrant dans la cabine et après fermeture des portes être amenés au sol par une opération inverse.Those wishing to embark enter a lift-type cabin at the ground stop at the access location, preferably along the pavement on the sidewalk. In synchronism with the arrival and the stop of the vehicle in station, the elevating means, for example constituted by a jack, raises the cabin at the level of the vehicle and the means of translation, for example in the form of drawer, brings and attaches the cab to the vehicle. The cabin has, in a usual manner, a door opening at the same time as the door of the vehicle to allow the passage of people from the cabin in the vehicle. Conversely people can disembark from the vehicle entering the cabin and after closing the doors be brought to the ground by a reverse operation.

L'ensemble est entièrement automatisé et la cabine peut constituer également un sas de contrôle de la charge du véhicule, en pilotant l'entrée dans la cabine en fonction du nombre de personnes présentes dans le véhicule et de celles débarquant du véhicule. Il est facile de voir que l'emprise au sol de la station se limite à la taille de la cabine et que toute barrière de sécurité ou de guidage des passagers est inutile. Les composants du dispositif automatique de transfert sont bien connus en soi, par exemple un mécanisme à vérin hydraulique d'ascenseur et à vérin de commande d'un tiroir télescopique. Dans la position abaissée de la cabine sur le trottoir le mécanisme est avantageusement rétracté dans une fosse ménagée dans le trottoir.The whole is fully automated and the cabin can also be a lock control of the vehicle load, controlling the entry into the cabin based on the number of people in the vehicle and those arriving from the vehicle. It is easy to see that the footprint of the station is limited to the size of the cabin and that any safety barrier or guiding passengers is unnecessary. The components of the automatic transfer device are well known per se, for example an elevator hydraulic cylinder mechanism and a control cylinder for a telescopic drawer. In the lowered position of the cabin on the pavement the mechanism is advantageously retracted into a pit formed in the sidewalk.

Lorsque la cabine est en bordure du trottoir, elle comporte obligatoirement deux portes, l'une sur la face devant s'accoler au véhicule et une autre sur l'une des faces donnant sur le trottoir, en fonction des conditions d'accèsWhen the cabin is on the curb, it must have two doors, one on the front side to bend to the vehicle and another on one side facing the sidewalk, depending on the access conditions

Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, la cabine du type ascenseur est portée par l'extrémité d'un bras horizontal fixé par son autre extrémité à l'axe du vérin élévateur. Cet axe télescopique est agencé de telle manière que le mouvement d'extension et donc d'élévation, est accompagné d'un mouvement de pivotement du bras et donc d'un mouvement transversal amenant la cabine contre le véhicule arrêté. Une porte unique de la cabine peut, dans ce cas, assurer l'accès au sol et le passage vers le véhicule.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the elevator type cabin is carried by the end of a horizontal arm fixed by its other end to the axis of the lift cylinder. This telescopic axis is arranged in such a way that the movement of extension and therefore of elevation is accompanied by a movement of pivoting of the arm and thus of a transverse movement bringing the cabin against the stopped vehicle. A single door of the cabin can, in this case, provide access to the ground and the passage to the vehicle.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, le mécanisme automatique de transfert prend en charge le véhicule, préalablement désaccouplé des câbles, pour le déplacer transversalement puis verticalement et l'amener au sol sur le trottoir. Un tiroir télescopique est glissé sous le véhicule pour l'extraire de la voie et le déplacer à l'aplomb du trottoir. Le vérin élévateur descend ensuite le véhicule sur le trottoir. La sortie du véhicule de la voie libère totalement celle-ci pour le passage de véhicules express ne s'arrêtant pas dans cette station. Les passagers débarquent au sol en parfaite sécurité sur le trottoir et d'autres embarquent directement dans le véhicule, qui par un mouvement inverse est élevé au niveau de la voie, puis déplacé transversalement pour venir à l'aplomb de la voie, à laquelle il est ré-accouplé. Ce mode de réalisation nécessite, dans le cas d'un véhicule lourd, une véritable machine de transfert, mais le trottoir est entièrement libéré en l'absence d'opérations d'embarquement et de débarquement.According to another embodiment, the automatic transfer mechanism supports the vehicle, previously disconnected cables, to move transversely and vertically and bring it to the ground on the sidewalk. A telescopic drawer is slid under the vehicle to extract it from the track and move it straight up the sidewalk. The lift cylinder then descends the vehicle on the sidewalk. The exit of the vehicle of the way completely releases this one for the passage of express vehicles not stopping in this station. The passengers disembark on the ground in perfect security on the pavement and others embark directly in the vehicle, which by a reverse movement is raised at the level of the track, then moved transversely to come straight to the track, to which it is re-coupled. This embodiment requires, in the case of a heavy vehicle, a real transfer machine, but the sidewalk is fully released in the absence of embarkation and disembarkation operations.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, le mécanisme automatique de transfert est décomposé en deux. L'un, comme dans la variante précédente, prend en charge le véhicule, préalablement désaccouplé des câbles, pour le déplacer transversalement, et l'autre, de façon synchronisée, soulève verticalement une cabine du type ascenseur vers le niveau du véhicule. La dite cabine a une porte s'ouvrant en même temps que la porte du véhicule pour permettre le passage des personnes de la cabine dans le véhicule et inversement. Après fermeture des portes, la cabine est ramenée au sol pour le débarquement des passagers en même temps que le véhicule est déplacé transversalement pour venir à l'aplomb de la voie, à laquelle il est ré-accouplé. Cette variante de réalisation a essentiellement comme avantage dans son fonctionnement le gain de temps du transfert, et dans sa réalisation de manipuler le véhicule de façon minimale sur une distance courte pour l'écarter transversalement de la voie principale et d'utiliser une cabine d'ascenseur standard pour le déplacement vertical des passagers sur une dénivellation relativement importante, concluant à un temps de transfert équivalent des deux déplacements. Enfin cette variante de réalisation, comme la précédente, libère la voie principale de l'installation permettant de laisser passer des véhicules express ne s'arrêtant pas à la dite station.According to another variant embodiment, the automatic transfer mechanism is decomposed in two. One, as in the previous variant, supports the vehicle, previously disconnected cables, to move it transversely, and the other, in a synchronized manner, lifts vertically a lift-type cabin to the vehicle level. The said cabin has a door opening at the same time as the vehicle door to allow the passage of people from the cabin in the vehicle and vice versa. After closing the doors, the cabin is brought to the ground for the disembarkation of the passengers at the same time as the vehicle is moved transversely to come straight to the track, to which it is re-coupled. This embodiment has essentially the advantage in its operation of the time saving of the transfer, and in its realization of manipulating the vehicle minimally over a short distance to spread it transversely from the main track and to use a cab of standard lift for the vertical movement of passengers on a relatively large difference in height, concluding at an equivalent transfer time of both trips. Finally this embodiment, like the previous one, frees the main way of the installation allowing to pass express vehicles not stopping at the said station.

Sur la figure 1, des véhicules 1 de transport de passagers 2 roulent sur des câbles porteurs 3 supportés en hauteur par des pylônes 4. La voie de circulation des véhicules 1 s'étend au-dessus d'une chaussée 5 à une hauteur suffisante pour ne pas empiéter sur le gabarit routier 6, représenté en pointillés sur la figure 2. Les véhicules 1 s'arrêtent dans une station intermédiaire 7 pour un embarquement et/ou débarquement des passagers 2. En se référant plus particulièrement aux figures 2 à 7 on voit que la stations 7 est équipée d'une cabine 8 de transfert des passagers 2, en attente en un emplacement d'accès 9 au sol, en l'occurrence sur un trottoir, vers un véhicule 1 en un emplacement d'arrêt 11 en hauteur. La cabine 8, du type ascenseur, est portée par un vérin hydraulique 12, logé dans une fosse 10 du trottoir, qui élève la cabine 8 au niveau du véhicule 1 à l'arrêt dans la station 7 (figure 4). Sur le vérin 12 est fixé un tiroir télescopique 13 portant la cabine 8 pour la déplacer latéralement et l'accoler au véhicule 1 (figure 6). En position accolée, une porte (non représentée) du véhicule 1 est en face d'une porte (non représentée) de la cabine 8 et l'ouverture de ces portes permet l'embarquement et/ou le débarquement en parfaite sécurité. La cabine 8 est ramenée au sol par des mouvements inverses de rétraction du tiroir télescopique 13 et du vérin élévateur 12.On the figure 1 , passenger transport vehicles 1 2 roll on carrier cables 3 supported at height by pylons 4. The traffic lane of vehicles 1 extends above a roadway 5 at a height sufficient not to encroach on the road gauge 6, represented in dashed lines on the figure 2 . The vehicles 1 stop at an intermediate station 7 for a loading and / or unloading of the passengers 2. Referring more particularly to the Figures 2 to 7 we see that the station 7 is equipped with a cabin 8 for transferring passengers 2, waiting at a ground access location 9, in this case on a sidewalk, to a vehicle 1 at a stopping place 11 in height. The cabin 8, of the elevator type, is carried by a hydraulic jack 12, housed in a pit 10 of the sidewalk, which raises the cab 8 at the level of the vehicle 1 at stationary stop in the station 7 ( figure 4 ). On the jack 12 is fixed a telescopic drawer 13 carrying the cab 8 to move it laterally and attach it to the vehicle 1 ( figure 6 ). In contiguous position, a door (not shown) of the vehicle 1 is in front of a door (not shown) of the cabin 8 and the opening of these doors allows boarding and / or disembarkation in perfect safety. The cabin 8 is returned to the ground by reverse movements of retraction of the telescopic drawer 13 and the lift cylinder 12.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est entièrement automatisé et il fonctionne de la manière suivante : La cabine 8 est normalement au sol et la porte d'entrée (non représentée) est ouverte. Le nombre de personnes 2 autorisées à entrer est piloté par un dispositif de contrôle de la charge, en fonction du nombre de passagers présents dans le véhicule 1 et du nombre de passagers s'arrêtant dans cette station. L'approche du véhicule 1 de la station 7 déclenche l'opération de transfert par la fermeture de la porte de la cabine 8, l'élévation de la cabine par le vérin 12, l'accolement de la cabine 8 au véhicule 1, par extension du tiroir télescopique 13 et l'ouverture des portes de passage de la cabine 8 vers le véhicule arrêté 1. Le transfert s'opère en parfaite sécurité et la cabine 8 peut être entièrement fermée. La cabine 8 est ramenée au sol par une opération inverse. Le mécanisme de déplacement de la cabine 8 est implanté sur le trottoir en bordure de la chaussée 5.The device according to the invention is fully automated and operates as follows: Cabin 8 is normally on the ground and the entrance door (not shown) is open. The number of persons authorized to enter is controlled by a load control device, according to the number of passengers present in the vehicle 1 and the number of passengers stopping at this station. The approach of the vehicle 1 of the station 7 triggers the transfer operation by closing the door of the cabin 8, the elevation of the cabin by the cylinder 12, the connection of the cabin 8 to the vehicle 1, by extension of the telescopic drawer 13 and the opening of the doors from the cabin 8 to the stopped vehicle 1. The transfer is carried out in complete safety and the cabin 8 can be completely closed. Cabin 8 is returned to the ground by an inverse operation. The mechanism for moving the cab 8 is located on the sidewalk along the road 5.

L'infrastructure de la station 7 est simplifiée et ne comporte aucune partie fixe au niveau de la voie aérienne. L'emprise au sol est limitée à la taille de la cabine 8.The infrastructure of station 7 is simplified and has no fixed part at the level of the airway. The footprint is limited to the size of cabin 8.

Les figures 8 à 13 illustrent un mode de réalisation dans lequel la cabine 8 est déplacée par mécanisme constitué par un seul vérin 14, qui porte à son extrémité un bras horizontal 15. La cabine 8 est disposée à l'extrémité libre du bras 15. En position abaissée du vérin 14, représentée aux figures 8 et 9, le bras 15 s'étend, au niveau du sol, parallèlement à la voie constituée par les câbles porteurs 3 et les passagers peuvent entrer dans la cabine 8 de la manière décrite ci-dessus. Le vérin 14 est du type à extension verticale, accompagnée d'une rotation faisant pivoter le bras 15. Le mouvement d'élévation verticale de la cabine 8 est ainsi accompagne d'un mouvement transversal amenant la cabine 8 vers le véhicule 1. Les différentes phases de ces mouvements sont représentées sur les figures 10 à 13 et il est inutile de décrire le fonctionnement de la station qui est identique à celui décrit ci-dessus. L'ensemble est agencé de manière à éviter un empiétement du bras15 et de la cabine 8 sur le gabarit 6 de la voierie. Les deux mouvements d'élévation et de rotation ne sont pas forcément concomitants et la rotation peut intervenir après l'élévation.The Figures 8 to 13 illustrate an embodiment in which the cabin 8 is moved by a mechanism consisting of a single cylinder 14, which carries at its end a horizontal arm 15. The cabin 8 is disposed at the free end of the arm 15. In the lowered position of the cylinder 14, represented in Figures 8 and 9 the arm 15 extends, at ground level, parallel to the path constituted by the carrying cables 3 and the passengers can enter the cabin 8 in the manner described above. The jack 14 is of the type with vertical extension, accompanied by a rotation pivoting the arm 15. The movement vertical elevation of the cabin 8 is thus accompanied by a transverse movement bringing the cabin 8 to the vehicle 1. The various phases of these movements are represented on the Figures 10 to 13 and it is unnecessary to describe the operation of the station which is identical to that described above. The assembly is arranged to avoid an encroachment of the arm15 and the cabin 8 on the template 6 of the road. The two movements of elevation and rotation are not necessarily concomitant and the rotation can take place after the elevation.

Les figures 19 à 14 sont des vues, analogues aux figures 2 à 7, d'une autre variante de réalisation. Dans cette variante le vérin 12, analogue au vérin des figures 2 à 7, comporte un tiroir télescopique 16 suffisamment long pour venir, en position d'extension, se glisser sous le véhicule 1. Le vérin 12 ne porte plus une cabine, mais il prend directement en charge le véhicule 1 pour le transférer de l'emplacement d'arrêt en hauteur (figures 14,15) vers l'emplacement d'accès au sol (figures 18,19) et inversement. Dans la position d'arrêt (figures 14,15) le véhicule 1 est désaccouplé des câbles 3 et le tiroir16, venu sous le véhicule 1, le prend en charge. De la manière décrite précédemment la rétraction du tiroir 16 déplace transversalement le véhicule 1 et la rétraction du vérin 12 abaisse le véhicule 1 au niveau du sol. Par une manoeuvre inverse le véhicule 1 est transféré du sol, après rembarquement des passagers, vers la position en hauteur sous les câbles 3 auxquels il est ré-accouplé. A cet effet le véhicule 1 comporte des pinces débrayables (non représentées) ou un dispositif de détachement de l'habitacle, bien connus des spécialistes. De même la fixation du véhicule 1 sur le tiroir 16 est réalisée par tout moyen approprié bien connu. Le dispositif est entièrement automatisé et il est inutile de décrire le fonctionnement qui est identique à celui des dispositifs précédents. Le véhicule est plus lourd qu'une cabine d'ascenseur et la taille de la machine de transfert est adaptée à l'augmentation correspondante du poids. L'embarquement et le débarquement s'effectuent au sol en parfaite sécurité. A l'arrêt de l'installation le trottoir est entièrement libéré.The Figures 19 to 14 are views, similar to Figures 2 to 7 of another variant embodiment. In this variant the cylinder 12, similar to the cylinder of Figures 2 to 7 , comprises a telescopic drawer 16 which is sufficiently long to come, in extended position, to slide under the vehicle 1. The jack 12 no longer carries a cab, but it directly supports the vehicle 1 to transfer it from the location of height stop ( figures 14.15 ) to the ground access location ( Figures 18.19 ) and vice versa. In the stop position ( figures 14.15 ) the vehicle 1 is uncoupled from the cables 3 and the drawer 16, under the vehicle 1, supports it. As previously described the retraction of the slide 16 transversely moves the vehicle 1 and the retraction of the cylinder 12 lowers the vehicle 1 at ground level. By a reverse maneuver the vehicle 1 is transferred from the ground, after re-embarkation of the passengers, to the height position under the cables 3 to which it is re-coupled. For this purpose the vehicle 1 comprises declutching pliers (not shown) or a detachment device of the passenger compartment, well known in the art. Similarly the attachment of the vehicle 1 on the drawer 16 is made by any suitable means well known. The device is fully automated and it is unnecessary to describe the operation that is identical to that of the previous devices. The vehicle is heavier than an elevator car and the size of the transfer machine is adapted to the corresponding increase in weight. Boarding and landing are carried out on the ground in perfect safety. When the installation is stopped, the sidewalk is completely free.

Les figures 20 à 25 sont des vues, analogues aux figures 2 à 7, d'une autre variante de réalisation. Dans cette variante, la cabine 8, du type ascenseur, est portée par un vérin hydraulique 20, logé dans une colonne 17 située sur le trottoir, qui élève la cabine 8 au niveau du véhicule 1 à l'arrêt dans la station 7 qui est désaccouplé des câbles 3, pris en charge par le tiroir 18, et déplacé transversalement jusqu'à la plateforme 19, fixée à la colonne 17, au niveau de la cabine 8 qui arrive au même instant (figures 24,25). Après le débarquement et/ou embarquement des passagers du véhicule 1 dans la cabine 8, par une manoeuvre inverse le véhicule 1 est déplacé transversalement sous les câbles 3 auxquels il est ré-accouplé en même temps que la cabine 8 est redescendue au niveau du sol pour le débarquement et/ou embarquement des passagers. Le dispositif est entièrement automatisé et il est inutile de décrire le fonctionnement qui est semblable à celui des dispositifs précédents.The Figures 20 to 25 are views, similar to Figures 2 to 7 of another variant embodiment. In this variant, the cabin 8, elevator type, is carried by a hydraulic cylinder 20, housed in a column 17 located on the sidewalk, which raises the cabin 8 at the vehicle 1 at station 7 in the station which is uncoupled cables 3, supported by the drawer 18, and moved transversely to the platform 19, attached to the column 17, at the cabin 8 which arrives at the same time ( Figures 24.25 ). After the disembarkation and / or embarkation of the passengers of the vehicle 1 in the cabin 8, by a reverse maneuver the vehicle 1 is moved transversely under the cables 3 to which it is re-coupled at the same time as the cabin 8 has descended to the ground level for the disembarkation and / or embarkation of passengers. The device is fully automated and it is unnecessary to describe the operation that is similar to that of the previous devices.

La ligne est en général à deux voies et la station est alors équipée d'un deuxième mécanisme sur le trottoir opposé.The line is usually two lanes and the station is then equipped with a second mechanism on the opposite sidewalk.
