Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boarding device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the speed of current chairlifts is limited by boarding operations for skiers and for chairlifts with fixed attachments, an oblique runway has already been proposed facilitating skiers' access to the embarkation location (FR-A-2.236 .707).
  • the advancement of the skiers in the direction of travel of the seats is faster than the usual transverse movement and this saving of time allows an increase in the speed and the flow of the chairlift.
  • a rhythm controller controls the advance to avoid any collision.
  • Speed increases are however limited.
  • the chairlifts with detachable seats allow uncoupling of the seats from the drive cable in the boarding station and movement of the seats at reduced speed on a connection or transfer track. This eliminates the cable running speed and it is possible to choose an optimal boarding speed.
  • the possibilities of increasing the flow are also limited, the time offset of the seats on the connection track being necessarily the same as that on the line and a reduction in speed requiring the seats to be brought closer together. The spacing must obviously remain sufficient for easy access for skiers.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by taking a different approach and based on the observation that the boarding operation is broken down into an approach for skiers to the boarding location and a boarding operation proper, which can be accelerated if the approach operation gives skiers sufficient time to prepare for the boarding operation.
  • the boarding device is characterized in that at least two boarding locations are staggered along the boarding area, each equipped with a rhythmic means for timing the access of skiers to said locations. a rate corresponding to the rate of travel of the seats divided by the number of boarding locations, each boarding location having its own approach and access runways.
  • each location only serves one seat out of two and that the speed of each location is thus reduced by half. If the number of locations is higher, the speed is of course reduced in proportion. Skiers thus have a longer time to prepare and get in place for boarding and the boarding phase can be significantly accelerated.
  • Another advantage of this device consists in having an independent boarding space which can be reserved for priority passengers, for example at the ski school.
  • the device according to the invention is applicable to chairlifts with fixed fasteners whose boarding platform has been extended, but it is particularly suitable for chairlifts with detachable fasteners in which the loop connection path extends the line.
  • the rhythmic means determines the instant at which the skiers can safely enter the section of track to reach the embarkation location. Any false maneuver, in particular the engagement on the access track while the seat which is presented is already occupied by passengers embarked at the preceding pier, is thus avoided.
  • the access track can of course be slightly sloping.
  • the opening of the gates or the boarding signal delivered by the rhythmic means is triggered by the passage of the seats at predetermined locations, so as to overcome the speed of movement of the seats.
  • the selection of an order on 2 or 3 depending on the number of 2 or 3 boarding locations can be carried out by an electric muting system or by assigning each seat to a boarding location, the gates not being open only when approaching these seats.
  • the closing of the gates can be controlled in different ways, for example by a timer.
  • the boarding locations can be staggered along a straight section of the track, but according to a preferred embodiment, one of the locations is arranged in the curved area of the track.
  • a minimum spacing of the seats in the boarding area must be respected for the insertion of skiers between two successive seats.
  • the running speed of the seats is set accordingly to ensure the desired flow.
  • the invention is applicable to 3-seater seats, the skiers being seated frontally looking in the direction of travel in the usual manner.
  • Each gate is equipped with an individual motor, in particular an electric one, to allow great flexibility of operation.
  • An electric control allows the blocking of one of the gates for operation in a two-seater chairlift during off-peak periods, or the blocking of one of the boarding spaces, only one seat out of two being occupied or any other combination .
  • the gates are advantageously carried by an erasable or removable structure to facilitate the development of the access, in particular after a snowfall.
  • an overhead cable transport installation 10, of the chairlift type comprises seats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. capable of being coupled at regular intervals to the cable 10.
  • the chairlift shown is with disengageable seats, but it is clear that the invention is applicable to a chairlift with fixed attachments or to telescopic handlers.
  • the cable 10 passes over an end pulley 14 and a circulation path 16, in a loop and in extension of the line, connects the return strand 18 and the forward strand 20 of the cable 10.
  • the seat is uncoupled from the cable 10 by opening a coupling clamp (not shown) and the seat circulates on the circulation or connection track 16, passing in front of landing areas 22 and boarding areas 24, advantageously at reduced speed.
  • the seat spacing in boarding area 24 is between 3 and 5 meters.
  • the braking at the entry and the acceleration at the exit of the track 16 are carried out by well known means, not forming part of the present invention.
  • the circulation on track 16 takes place either by gravity, or preferably by positive drive, for example by chains or drive belts (not shown).
  • the boarding area 24 has two boarding locations 26, 28, the location 26 being arranged on the straight section of the track 16, before the exit of the track, at a distance sufficient to allow the occupants to settle in correctly, and location 28 in the curved area of track 16 before location 26, viewed in the direction of travel of the seats.
  • Each location 26, 28 has three access tracks 30, 32, 34; 36, 38, 40 parallel, allowing three skiers to access the corresponding location 26, 28 head-on, by being inserted between two successive seats, the seats in this case having three seats.
  • On each track 30 to 40 is placed a gate 42,44,46; 48, 50, 52, pivotally mounted to close or open the track and prevent or allow access by skiers to location 26, 28.
  • Gates 42 to 52 are arranged close to boarding location 26, 28 , but leaving the free passage of the seats. Each gate or group of gates is controlled by an electric motor 53, 55, for example incorporated in the support. Each boarding location 26, 28 is associated with a seat passage detector 54, 56 which electrically controls the opening of the gates 42-52 at the appropriate time in the manner described below.
  • the detector 54, 56 can be a simple electrical contact actuated by the seat.
  • the detector 54 controls the opening the gates 42-46 as soon as the seat 2, 4 has freed the access tracks 30-34, and the detector 56 controls the opening of the gates 48-52 in a similar manner.
  • FIG. 2 represents the installation a few moments later, it can be seen that the loaded seat 2 takes off, the seat 3 is being loaded, etc.
  • rhythmic means constituted by the detectors 54, 56 impose a ca dence of opening the gates which is half that of scrolling the seats. Skiers therefore have double time to approach the gates and prepare for boarding, which takes place as soon as the gates open.
  • the gates 42, 44, 46 do not necessarily open at the same time and according to an important improvement the gate 46 opens first, as soon as the seat 2 has released the track 34, the gate 44 a little later when the seat 2 has crossed runway 32, etc ....
  • the gates 42-46; 48-52 are arranged perpendicular to the tracks 30-40, and in the example illustrated they are aligned.
  • the access tracks 30-40 form an acute angle with the track 16 and it is possible to offset the gates, in particular to bring the gates 42, 44 and 48, 50 and the track 16 without interfering with the passage of the seats.
  • the gates 42-46, 48-52 are carried by an erasable or removable structure to allow the development of the tracks after a snowfall.
  • the gates can be in the same opening direction or, depending on the installation conditions, open on the right or on the left.
