Definitions

This description relates to installations for transporting passengers or goods.
the present description is more particularly concerned with transport installations using a traction member to drive one or more vehicles along a circuit.
the traction member is typically a cable.
Other types of organs such as ropes, chains, belts, etc. can also be used in certain applications.
Cableway modes of transport can take the form of cable cars, gondolas, chairlifts, funiculars, trains, etc.
the vehicles, of the trolley, cabin, wagon, bucket or seat type for example usually move at the same speed as their traction cable.
Electric vehicles are another form of transportation that is developing, especially in urban areas. These vehicles have a battery-based, hydrogen-capacitor electric energy storage system. They are able to move independently, accelerate, brake, travel at constant speed, climb slopes, descend them, recover braking and descent energies and can have an on-board intelligence managing multiple information related to their running support (road, rail, ...) and their environment. They are sometimes able to communicate with other vehicles, for example to manage distances between vehicles.
One of the drawbacks of this type of vehicle is its limited range and the cost of its energy recharging system.
An object of the present invention is to give greater operating flexibility to a transport installation using cables or other traction members.
the vehicle generator system includes at least one generator that can be activated to supply energy to the storage system when the vehicle is coupled to the traction member and driven along the circuit by the traction member.
the motor system of the vehicle comprises at least one motor which can be activated to receive energy from the storage system and to set the vehicle in motion with respect to the fixed support.
the installation makes it possible to circulate one or more vehicles while being able to use the work provided by the traction unit to store energy with a view to restoring it in phases where the vehicle needs to move in such a way. autonomous.
the vehicle need not always travel at the same speed as the traction unit along the circuit.
the installation makes it possible to optimize transport times and to cover sections of the route that do not have a traction device.
the transport installation may comprise at least one loading / unloading station of the vehicle adjacent to at least one circuit defined by a respective traction member and comprising a fixed support for supporting the moving vehicle at the loading / unloading station.
the infrastructure can therefore be relatively simple since it is possible to provide external energy only to the traction members.
the transport installation may also include a vehicle circulation path including several sections, each section comprising a traction member extending along a respective circuit between two ends of the section.
a fixed support is arranged between the ends of two consecutive sections of the path so that the vehicle moves between the two consecutive sections by activating at least one motor of the engine system of the vehicle while being supported by the fixed support.
the autonomy conferred on the vehicle (s) apart from the sections equipped with traction units makes it possible in particular to easily manage the bends that the journey includes, without having to have complex mechanical systems available to deflect the traction units.
the motor system comprises at least one motor which can be controlled to move the vehicle relative to the traction member during a movement of the vehicle along the circuit.
the vehicle may comprise a first set of at least one wheel capable of rolling on the fixed support while being driven by a motor of the motor system and a second set of at least one wheel capable of resting on the traction member.
At least one wheel of the second set is arranged to participate in the coupling of the vehicle to the traction member when it is supported on the traction member.
the coupling by the wheel can optionally be completed by a disengageable mechanism of the gripper type or the like.
the coupling of the vehicle to the traction member can in particular be achieved by this wheel (or these wheels) when it (s) bear (bear) on the traction member, by the effect of the friction between this wheel ( or these wheels) and the traction unit. It will be noted that such a friction coupling does not exclude the vehicle from being mobile with respect to the traction member.
a wheel of the second set (or several) is driven, in one direction or the other, by a motor to make the vehicle move faster or slower than the traction member, while remaining coupled to it. It is also possible, in particular in downhill sections of the route, for a wheel of the second set (or more) to actuate a generator to recover part of the energy.
the motor system can be adapted to control at least one wheel among the wheels of the first and second sets so that the vehicle is moved with a speed V 1 relative to the fixed support and a speed V 2 relative to the 'traction member, the speeds V 1 and V 2 being such that the difference V 1 - V 2 is equal to the speed V of movement of the traction member relative to the fixed support.
At least one wheel of the first set is controllable to communicate energy to at least one generator of the generator system when it is rotated by the movement of the vehicle coupled to the traction member.
At least one wheel of the second assembly is controllable to communicate energy to at least one generator of the generator system when it is rotated while the vehicle is supported by the fixed support.
the installation shown here can be used to transport passengers and / or all kinds of freight. It includes one or more vehicles that can travel along one or more routes.
the simple route schematized on the figure 1 comprises two successive sections 10 between two loading / unloading stations 11.
the sections shown are rectilinear, and there is between them a transition zone 12 forming a bend.
Each section of the path corresponds to a traction member which is constituted by a cable 15 in the remainder of the present description ( figures 2 and 3 ), without this being limiting.
the cable 15 is arranged in a circuit corresponding to the section of the route, and it is driven along this circuit by one or more motors forming part of the transport infrastructure and actuated by an external energy source, for example a network. electricity distribution.
one or more support pulleys can be located along the circuit to compensate for the weight of the coupling portion of the cable 15.
one or more pulleys can be provided. deflection along this section 10. Such a deflection pulley has its axis horizontal to the changes in slope of the section 10. Its axis is inclined relative to the horizontal if the section 10 is not rectilinear when viewed from above.
the cable drive motor or motors 15 act, for example, at one or more of the aforementioned pulleys.
the traction cable 15 is located on the ground. It is also possible for the traction cable to be located at a height, above or next to the vehicle 20.
the interface of the first type can conveniently consist of a set of one or more wheels 22.
this first assembly comprises four wheels 22 distributed around the vehicle 20 and resting on the ground 18.
a brake (not shown) makes it possible to block the wheels 22 when the vehicle 20 must remain stationary relative to the fixed support 18.
the coupling of the vehicle 20 to the traction cable 15 can be achieved by means of one or more wheels 24 of the second set.
the coupling can in particular be carried out by friction.
An actuator biases the wheel 24 in the direction of the cable 15 so that its periphery is pressed on the cable 15, which performs the coupling.
a brake (not shown) makes it possible to block the wheel 24 when the vehicle 20 must move at the same speed as the traction cable 15. To avoid disconnections between the wheel 24 and the cable 15, it is possible to provide a groove annular at the periphery of the wheel 24, which then engages the cable in the manner of a pulley.
the vehicle 20 further comprises an energy storage system 30, an engine system and a generator system.
the battery 30 is rechargeable with the aid of the generator system, and it can deliver electrical energy to the motor system.
each of the wheels 22, 24 of the interfaces of the first and second types has its axis connected to a direct current (DC) rotating machine 32, 34 usable either in generator mode to recharge the battery 30, or in motor mode to drive the wheels 22, 24.
the generator system then comprises the generators 32, 34 formed by the DC machines controlled in generator mode, while the motor system comprises the motors 32, 34 formed by the DC machines controlled in motor mode.
the elements of the engine system can also be distinct from the elements of the generator system. It is also possible to associate only some of the wheels with elements of the engine system, and only some of the wheels with elements of the generator system.
the same motor, or the same generator can be associated with several wheels jointly by an appropriate transmission mechanism.
the DC machines 32, 34 can furthermore be used to selectively brake or block the wheels 22, 24.
the control of the direct current machines 32, 34 is carried out by a controller (not shown) on board the vehicle 20.
the controller may include one or more processors executing programs written to control the operating phases of the vehicle while managing the operation. electrical energy stored in the battery 30.
the controller can be associated with one or more wireless interfaces to communicate with control units of the fixed infrastructure of the transport installation, and / or with controllers of other vehicles of installation.
the control modes of the vehicles 20 can be very varied, which gives great ease of operation of the transport installation. Some examples are discussed below.
the latter In another mode of operation of the vehicle 20, the latter is stationary at a location on the circuit, with its wheels 22 locked.
the generator 34 can be deactivated to decouple the wheel 24 from the traction cable.
the controller By increasing or decreasing the speed V 1 , the controller then sets an acceleration or deceleration phase of the vehicle.
the speeds V 1 and V 2 of the vehicle 20 are positive when they have the same orientation as the travel speed V of the cable 15 relative to the fixed support 18, and negative in the opposite case.
the energy stored in the battery 30 is used to control the motors 32 associated with the wheels 22 in order to operate the necessary movements of the vehicle 20. It is thus possible to stop the vehicles at the stations for loading or unloading, to bring them to places. parking spaces or maintenance stations, putting new vehicles into service, etc.
This mode of operation is useful in the turn zones 12 of the trips, to avoid having to resort to complex mechanisms to ensure a substantial angular deflection of the cables while maintaining the coupling of the vehicle to the cable to negotiate the turn.
the vehicle controller then manages the acceleration and deceleration phases required in the vicinity of such a station by controlling the DC machines 32, 34.
An advantage of the vehicle 20 is that its battery 30 can be relatively small, and therefore inexpensive. Indeed, the opportunities to recharge the battery 30 when the vehicle is moving are numerous, so that there is no need for a large storage capacity.
