Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport device, for people or goods, continuously over medium distances, that is to say of the order of 50 to 500 m.
  • Patent CH 540 138 describes a transport installation comprising a network formed of closed loops along which vehicles with their individual drive means travel. In the loading areas, vehicles climb up to meet a loading dock so that the vehicle floor and the platform floor are approximately level. This installation therefore requires that the vehicles pass under the embarkation and disembarkation areas.
  • the present invention relates to a device for transporting people comprising a continuous raceway constituting a closed circuit; at least one boarding area and one landing area along this raceway; and a series of cabins traveling along this raceway in which one accesses frontally or laterally, characterized in that each cabin comprises a carrying frame to which are fixed a first part of the cabin formed by a fixed floor, as well as a lateral protective wall partially surrounding this fixed floor; that a second part of the cabin formed by an embarkation or disembarkation plate is connected to said chassis; by the fact that this plate adjoins, in embarkation or disembarkation areas, the plate of a neighboring cabin thus forming a continuous sidewalk; by the fact that these plates pass through said zones, under a loading or unloading quay; and by the fact that at least one door whose fasteners are integral with the first part of the cabin makes it possible to create a closed enclosure.
  • the illustrated transport device comprises a raceway constituted by two flat rolling surfaces 1, 2 and by a guide rail 3 disposed in a T-groove separating the rolling surfaces 1 and 2.
  • This rolling raceway is continuous and closed on himself. Generally it will take the form of two rectilinear parts connecting at their ends by arcs of a circle, however, it is obvious that this raceway can follow any path along which the passengers must be transported.
  • the running surfaces 1, 2 are placed in a pit or trench 4 so that, when operating, the floor of the cabins is situated approximately at ground level 5.
  • Each cabin has a chassis 6 provided with wheels 7, 8, respectively rolling on the rolling surfaces 1, 2, and guide rollers 9, 10 cooperating laterally with the sides of the rail. guide 3 for driving the car along the raceway.
  • a part, for example half, of the floor of each cabin is formed by a sheet of semi-circular shape 11, rigidly fixed on the chassis 6.
  • This floor part 11 is surrounded by a barrier or wall 12 also fixed rigidly to chassis 6.
  • each cabin is formed by a plate 13 normally resting under the effect of its own weight on the crosspieces 6a of the chassis 6 but which can move freely in at least two orthogonal directions, laterally and vertically, with respect to to the chassis 6.
  • these plates 13 have, seen in plan, a rectangular shape whose length is slightly larger than the diameter of the fixed floor 11 of a cabin. These plates 13 therefore protrude forward and backward, in the direction of movement, the cabin to which they belong. In this way when two neighboring cabins are joined on a straight portion of the raceway, the plates 13 of these cabins touch end to end and form a continuous floor.
  • each cabin is driven in its movements by a motor 14 driving the drive wheel 7.
  • This motor 14 can be electric and is powered by pads rubbing on conductive rails 15 placed in the T-groove housing the rail 3.
  • the voltage supply of the conductive rails 15 can vary depending on the portion of the raceway envisaged so that the cabs move at variable speeds along this raceway.
  • the cabins are driven at a slow speed, of the order of 40 cm / s in the loading and unloading zones, where the cabins join, and at a high speed between these stations of the order of 2.5 m / s. Thanks to the slow speed it will be seen that it is very easy to get on and off the transport device as well, while the journey time is greatly reduced by traveling at high speed between stations.
  • Each loading or unloading area has a loading dock 16 comprising a rectilinear part 17 parallel to the direction of movement of the cabins whose edge engages under the fixed floor 11 of the cabins, the plate 13 of the cabin being located under this part from the loading dock.
  • the front end of this part 17 of the loading dock is terminated by a comb 18, as in conveyor belts, and in this zone are ramps 19 acting on rollers 20 carried by arms integral with the plate 13 so to raise this plate and place it in the high position ( Figure 3 and 6) for which it follows part 17 of the loading dock.
  • the cabins are driven at reduced speed in the terminal parts a, b which constitute the loading and unloading zones.
  • the cabins are contiguous and on the rectilinear parts of these terminal parts the plates 13 are. end to end and are connected to each other by a hook 22 carrying a roller 22 ', the positioning of which is done automatically by means of a cam, formed by a fixed rail 29, disposed along the raceway in the portions of it where the hook must be engaged, that is to say where the plates 13 must be coupled.
  • each plate 13 has at least one conical positioning housing 39 receiving, when the plates 13 are joined in the loading and unloading zones, bosses 38 of corresponding shape.
  • the plates are therefore, in said zones, coupled and positioned, they form a rigid floor.
  • the cabins are accelerated to reach their maximum speed, they therefore separate from each other, the hooks having been released.
  • the plates 13 are in the low position resting on the cross members 6a of the cabin.
  • each cabin is equipped with a movable safety barrier constituted by a semi-cylindrical wall 23 carried by an arm 24 pivoted on a central column 25 of the cabin.
  • the movable wall constituting the cabin door could be mounted not on a central column but on the cabin ceiling which would be fixed relative to the floor 11 and to the wall 12.
  • An electric motor which can be powered by conductive rails 27 located in the T-groove housing the guide rail 3, makes it possible to pivot this movable cylindrical wall around the central column 25.
  • the motor 26 is supplied in such a way that when a cabin is from position Z to position A, the movable wall is retracted behind the fixed wall 12 and the cabin is thus opened.
  • the movable wall When the cabin has advanced to position B, the movable wall has made a quarter turn and closes the front of the cabin, and therefore of the belt formed by the plates 13, towards the front. A user can no longer from this moment enter the previous cabin.
  • the car When the car reaches position C, the movable wall has made 1/2 turn and completely closes the car; from this moment the cabin can be accelerated and leave the next cabin.
  • the cabin remains closed until position X of an unloading station.
  • the movable wall has made 1/4 turn, always in the same direction and the users of the cabin can exit using the plate 13 of the previous cabin which is contiguous, before reaching the unloading platform 17 ' .
  • the movable wall has made a further 1/4 turn and it is fully retracted behind the fixed wall 12, the cabin is fully open.
  • the embarkation or disembarkation quay 17, 17 completely covers the plate 13 of each cabin and extends over a short distance under the fixed floor 11 of the cabins. This contributes to the security of the transport system.
  • the plates 13 are integral with the chassis and therefore with the fixed floor 11 of the cabins so that no relative movement between these elements is possible.
  • the plates 13, integral with the plates of neighboring cabins are positioned vertically and laterally with respect to the loading dock, independently of the first parts of the corresponding cabins.
  • the positioning of the loading belt, formed by the adjoining plates, relative to the loading dock, is therefore independent of the load and / or the position of the first part with a fixed floor of the cabins relative to the raceway.
  • the grooved plate of each cabin is rigidly mounted on the chassis of this cabin.
  • a cam 28 is provided for driving out of the zone beneath the fixed floor 11 the foot of an occupant.
  • a sliding shutter under the fixed floor 11, parallel to its free edge can be mounted a sliding shutter, at variable height, which continuously closes the vacuum located either between this fixed floor and the plate 13 or between said fixed floor and the loading dock 17.
  • the cabin illustrated in FIG. 7 has a fixed wall, integral with the chassis of the cabin, semi-cylindrical 30 comprising a window 31 and a ceiling 32.
  • the cabin door is here constituted by a movable wall also semi-cylindrical 33, guided in its lower part around the fixed wall 30.
  • This movable wall has a window 34 and a ceiling 35.
  • An electric motor 36 fixed on the ceiling 32 drives by its axis 37, fixed to the ceiling 35, the door in its movements angular around the axis of the cabin.
