Description

L'invention est relative à une installation de transport à câble aérien à défilement continu, auquel sont accouplées par des pinces débrayables des charges, notamment des cabines ou sièges, échelonnas le long de la ligne, les cabines étant désaccouplées du câble à l'entrée d'une station pour circuler sur un rail de transfert avant d'être réaccouplées au câble à la sortie de la station, l'espacement des cabines le long de la ligne étant déterminé par la fréquence des départs.The invention relates to an overhead traveling cable transport installation, to which are disengageable clamps for loads, in particular cabins or seats, staggered along the line, the cabins being uncoupled from the cable at the entrance. a station to travel on a transfer rail before being re-coupled to the cable at the station exit, the spacing of the cabins along the line being determined by the frequency of departures.

Les installations du genre mentionné, notamment les télécabines ou télésièges débrayables, présentent l'avantage d'une répartition des charges le long du câble et d'un embarquement et débarquement des passagers à vitesse réduite. Dans les stations, les cabines sont désaccouplées du câble, ce dernier défilant en continu à vitesse constante maximale. L'espacement des cabines sur le câble est fixé par la cadence ou le rythme des départs au démarrage de l'installation, mais en cours de fonctionnement des décalages sont inévitables et l'installation ne fonctionne plus aux conditions optimales, en l'occurrence à débit régulier et maximal. Il est possible de remédier à cet inconvénient en constituant en station un stock de cabines, lequel compense les irrégularités et permet des départs successifs réguliers. Ce stock implique un arrêt des cabines qui s-laccompagne de chocs désagréables et perturbe le fonctionnement régulier de l'ensemble.Installations of the kind mentioned, in particular the detachable gondolas or chairlifts, have the advantage of a distribution of loads along the cable and of boarding and disembarking of passengers at low speed. In the stations, the cabins are uncoupled from the cable, the latter running continuously at maximum constant speed. The spacing of the cabins on the cable is fixed by the cadence or the rhythm of the departures at the start of the installation, but during operation shifts are inevitable and the installation no longer works under optimal conditions, in this case at regular and maximum flow. It is possible to remedy this drawback by building up a stock of cabins at the station, which compensates for irregularities and allows regular successive departures. This stock involves a stop cabins that accompanies the s- unpleasant shocks and disturbs the regular operation of the whole.

Le but de la présente invention est de permettre la réalisation d'une télécabine, télésiège ou installation analogue à fonctionnement continu dans laquelle l'échelonnement régulier des cabines le long de la ligne est conservé automatiquement pendant toute la durée de fonctionnement.The object of the present invention is to allow the realization of a gondola, chairlift or similar installation with continuous operation in which the regular staggering of the cabins along the line is kept automatically for the entire duration of operation.

L'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que le circuit de circulation des cabines dans la station entre la zone de désaccouplement et la zone d'accouplement au câble comprend un tronçon cadenceur de circulation continue équipé d'un moyen cadenceur susceptible de varier le temps de parcours dudit tronçon cadenceur par les cabines, pour imposer une cadence régulière de défilement des cabines.The installation according to the invention is characterized in that the circulation circuit of the cabins in the station between the uncoupling zone and the cable coupling zone comprises a clocking section of continuous circulation equipped with a clocking means capable of varying the travel time of said clocking section by the cabins, in order to impose a regular rate of movement of the cabins.

L'invention est basée sur la constatation que les écarts intervenant au cours d'un trajet sont relativement limités seul le cumul de ces écarts étant gênant et que ces écarts peuvent être compensés par un dispositif cadenceur simple conservant la circulation continue des cabines dans la station.The invention is based on the observation that the deviations occurring during a journey are relatively limited only the accumulation of these deviations being annoying and that these deviations can be compensated for by a simple timing device keeping the continuous circulation of the cabins in the station. .

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un tronçon cadenceur est équipé d'un premier moyen d'entraînement des cabines, par exemple à vitesse lente et d'un deuxième moyen à vitesse supérieure. En fonctionnement normal la cabine est propulsée par le premier moyen sur la première moitié du tronçon, le deuxième moyen rattrapant la cabine et la propulsant sur la deuxième moitié du tronçon. Le premier moyen est agencé pour autoriser cet entraînement rapide, par exemple par adjonction d'une roue libre. Le temps de parcours du tronçon se déduit des vitesses, lente pendant une moitié du parcours et plus rapide pendant l'autre moitié.According to one embodiment of the invention, a timing section is equipped with a first means for driving the cabs, for example at slow speed and with a second means at higher speed. In normal operation, the cabin is propelled by the first means over the first half of the section, the second means catching up with the cabin and propelling it over the second half of the section. The first means is arranged to allow this rapid drive, for example by adding a free wheel. The journey time of the section is deduced from the speeds, slow during one half of the journey and faster during the other half.

L'ensemble est agencé de manière qu'une cabine ayant pris un retard maximal est rattrapée dès le début du tronçon cadenceur par le moyen d'entraînement rapide et se déplace sur l'ensemble du tronçon à vitesse rapide en rattrapant ainsi ce retard. Inversement, une cabine en avance sera prise en charge par l'entraînement rapide en fin du tronçon parcouru à vitesse lente. La cadence est rétablie à chaque passage du tronçon cadenceur. Dans le cas précité, la cadence est fixée par le moyen d'entraînement rapide, mais le spécialiste concevra aisément un fonctionnement inverse où le moyen cadenceur freinera le déplacement. L'invention est décrite dans le présent mémoire comme étant appliquée à une télécabine monocâble ou bicâble, mais elle est applicable à tout transporteur à véhicules passifs, notamment à des télésièges débrayables, des télécabines et analogues. Les moyens d'entrainement peuvent être d'un type quelconque, identiques ou différents, par exemple à galets fixes de friction, à chaînes ou bandes sans fin, à chariots propulseurs etc...The assembly is arranged so that a cabin having taken a maximum delay is caught up from the start of the timing section by the rapid drive means and moves over the entire section at high speed, thereby catching up on this delay. Conversely, a cabin in advance will be taken care of by the rapid drive at the end of the section traveled at slow speed. The cadence is restored with each passage of the rhythm section. In the aforementioned case, the rate is fixed by the rapid drive means, but the specialist will easily conceive a reverse operation where the clocking means will slow the movement. The invention is described in the present specification as being applied to a monocable or bicable gondola, but it is applicable to any transporter with passive vehicles, in particular to detachable chairlifts, gondolas and the like. The drive means can be of any type, identical or different, for example with fixed friction rollers, endless chains or belts, propulsion carriages, etc.

Selon un développement de l'invention, le cadenceur est disposé à l'arrivée de la station, l'un'des moyens d'entraînement appartenant ou étant adjoint au dispositif ralentisseur ou décélérateur des cabines désaccouplées du câble. Dans un système à galets équipés de bandages pneumatiques coopérant par friction avec le chariot de la cabine, les derniers galets du train de galets imposent la vitesse lente de propulsion sur le tronçon cadenceur. L'entraînement rapide peut être réalisé par une chaîne à taquets d'entraînement s'étendant le long du parcours en station afin de conserver la cadence. L'espacement des taquets détermine l'écartement entre les cabines et de ce fait la cadence. La différence de vitesse entre les deux moyens d'entraînement résulte d'un compromis d'une longueur minimale du tronçon cadenceur et d'un minimum d'à-coups de propulsion.According to a development of the invention, the timer is arranged at the arrival station, one 'drive means belonging or being associated to the retarder or decelerator device uncoupled from the cable cabins. In a roller system equipped with pneumatic tires cooperating by friction with the cab carriage, the last rollers of the roller train impose the slow speed of propulsion on the timing section. The fast training can be achieved by a chain with training cleats extending along the course in the station in order to maintain the pace. The spacing of the cleats determines the spacing between the cabins and therefore the rate. The difference in speed between the two drive means results from a compromise of a minimum length of the timing section and a minimum of propulsion jolts.

Un dispositif cadenceur peut être disposé dans chaque station pour assurer une répartition régulière sur chacun des brins du câble, mais dans certaines installations les écarts sont suffisamment faibles pour nécessiter un seul cadenceur dans l'une des stations. Selon l'invention, le cadenceur est alors prévu à l'arrivée du brin le moins utilisé pour assurer une répartition régulière sur le brin le plus chargé.A timing device can be arranged in each station to ensure a regular distribution on each of the strands of the cable, but in some installations the differences are small enough to require a single timer in one of the stations. According to the invention, the timer is then provided at the arrival of the least used strand to ensure a regular distribution on the most loaded strand.

Selon un deuxième mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le tronçon cadenceur coincide ou appartient à un tronçon de changement de vitesse, de préférence de la zone d'accélération des cabines avant l'accouplement au câble. Un détecteur d'écart programme le cycle d'accélération pour compenser cet écart et rétablir la répartition uniforme. Cette disposition nécessite une commande d'accélération plus élaborée mais n'impose aucune contrainte de circulation dans les stations.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the timing section coincides with or belongs to a speed change section, preferably from the access zone leration of the cabins before coupling to the cable. A deviation detector programs the acceleration cycle to compensate for this deviation and restore uniform distribution. This provision requires a more elaborate acceleration control but does not impose any traffic constraints in the stations.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de l'exposé qui va suivre de deux modes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une station équipée d'un cadenceur selon J'invention;
  • les figures 2a et 2b montrent le cadenceur de la fig. 1, à échelle agrandie, en fonctionnement normal;
  • les figures 3a et 3b correspondent aux fig. 2a et 2b pour une cabine en retard;
  • les figures 4a et 4b correspondent aux fig. 2a et 2b pour une cabine en avance;
  • la figure 5 est une vue schématique en élévation d'une variante de réalisation;
  • les figures 6, 7, 8 représentent les courbes d'accélération respectivement d'une cabine normale, en. retard et en avance, du dispositif selon la fig. 5.
Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of two embodiments of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example and represented in the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a station equipped with a timer according to the invention;
  • Figures 2a and 2b show the timer of fig. 1, on an enlarged scale, in normal operation;
  • Figures 3a and 3b correspond to Figs. 2a and 2b for a late cabin;
  • Figures 4a and 4b correspond to Figs. 2a and 2b for an early cabin;
  • Figure 5 is a schematic elevational view of an alternative embodiment;
  • Figures 6, 7, 8 show the acceleration curves respectively of a normal cabin, in. late and early, of the device according to fig. 5.

Sur les figures, un câble aérien 10 d'une télécabine s'étend entre deux stations d'extrémité, en passant dans les stations sur des poulies d'extrémité 12 dont l'une motrice entraîne le câble en continu. La télécabine représentée est du type monocâble, le câble 10 étant un câble porteur - tracteur, mais l'invention s'applique à une installation bicâble ainsi qu'à des télésièges et télébennes. A l'entrée 16 de la station les cabines 14 sont désaccouplées du câble 10 et roulent sur un rail de transfert 18 à vitesse réduite permettant un débarquement et embarquement des passagers. A la sortie 20 de la station la cabine 14 est accélérée par un dispositif de lancement par gravité ou par entraînement positif, notamment à galets 22, avant d'être accouplée au câble 10. Seule l'une des stations est représentée sur la fig. 1, l'autre pouvant être identique. La décélération de la cabine 14, désaccouplée du câble 10 à l'entrée 16 de la station, est réalisée par un train de galets 24 engageant par friction le chariot 26 de support de la cabine 14. Une chaîne de transfert 28 à taquets d'entraînement 30 s'étend le long du rail de transfert 18 en circuit fermé et est entraînée à une vitesse donnée par un moyen quelconque par exemple un moteur.La chaîne 28 propulse par les taquets 30 les cabines 14 sur le rail 18 le long des quais de débarquement et d'embarquement. Une telle télécabine est bien connue et il est inutile de la décrire plus en détail.In the figures, an overhead cable 10 of a gondola extends between two end stations, passing through the stations on end pulleys 12, one of which drives the cable continuously. The cable car shown is of the single cable type, the cable 10 being a carrying cable - tractor, but the invention applies to a two-cable installation as well as to chair lifts and cable cars. At the entrance 16 of the station the cabins 14 are uncoupled from the cable 10 and run on a transfer rail 18 at low speed allowing disembarkation and embarkation of passengers. At the exit 20 from the station, the cabin 14 is accelerated by a gravity launching device or by positive drive, in particular with rollers 22, before being coupled to the cable 10. Only one of the stations is shown in FIG. 1, the other possibly being identical. The deceleration of the cabin 14, uncoupled from the cable 10 at the input 16 of the station, is achieved by a train of rollers 24 frictionally engaging the carriage 26 for supporting the cabin 14. A transfer chain 28 with cleats drive 30 extends along the transfer rail 18 in a closed circuit and is driven at a given speed by any means, for example a motor. The chain 28 propels by the cleats 30 the cabins 14 on the rail 18 along the platforms landing and boarding. Such a gondola is well known and there is no need to describe it in more detail.

Les derniers galets du train de décélération 24, par exemple les quatre derniers galets 32, sont entraînés à une vitesse constante V1 et définissent un tronçon cadenceur ensuivant le tronçon décélérateur D proprement dit, défini par les autres galets 24. La chaîne 28 s'étend le long du tronçon cadenceur C, la vitesse de défilement V2 étant légèrement supérieure à celle V1 imposée par les galets 32. L'entrai- nement par la chaîne 28 est prioritaire en ce sens que les galets 32, par exemple à roue libre, sont incapables de s'opposer à l'entraînement de la cabine 14 à la vitesse rapide V2. Il est facile de comprendre que les taquets 30 régulièrement répartis le long de la chaîne 28, défilant à vitesse continue V2, présentent régulièrement les cabines 14 dans la zone d'accélération A pour accoupler les cabines à espacement régulier le long du câble 10.The last rollers of the deceleration train 24, for example the last four rollers 32, are driven at a constant speed V 1 and define a timing section following the decelerating section D proper, defined by the other rollers 24. The chain 28 s' extends along the timing section C, the running speed V 2 being slightly higher than that V 1 imposed by the rollers 32. The drive by the chain 28 has priority in the sense that the rollers 32, for example wheel free, are unable to oppose the driving of the cabin 14 at fast speed V 2 . It is easy to understand that the tabs 30 regularly distributed along the chain 28, traveling at continuous speed V 2 , regularly present the cabins 14 in the acceleration zone A to couple the cabins at regular spacing along the cable 10.

En fonctionnement normal la répartition uniforme est conservée et l'ensemble est agencé de manière qu'une cabine 14 désaccouplée du câble 10 et ralentie se déplace à vitesse lente V1 sur la première moitié du tronçon cadenceur C (fig. 2a) en étant entraînée par les galets 32. Un taquet 30 de la chaîne 28 se déplaçant à la vitesse supérieure V2 rattrape et propulse la cabine à vitesse rapide V2 sur l'autre moitié du tronçon cadenceur C. Cet entraînement rapide est autorisé par les roues libres des galets 32.In normal operation the uniform distribution is preserved and the assembly is arranged so that a cabin 14 uncoupled from the cable 10 and slowed down moves at slow speed V 1 over the first half of the clocking section C (fig. 2a) while being driven by the rollers 32. A cleat 30 of the chain 28 moving at the higher speed V 2 catches up and propels the cabin at high speed V 2 over the other half of the timing section C. This rapid drive is authorized by the free wheels of the rollers 32.

Si au cours du trajet la cabine 14 a pris du retard (fig. 3a,b) le taquet 30 rattrape la cabine avant le mi-parcours, éventuellement dès le début du tronçon cadenceur C si ce retard est maximal. La cabine franchit l'ensemble du tronçon C à vitesse rapide V2 en rattrapant son retard. Inversement une cabine en avance roule à vitesse lente V1 sur le tronçon C, le taquet 30 ne la rattrapant qu'en fin de parcours dans le cas extrême (fig. 4a, b). Le passage sur le tronçon cadenceur C rétablit la répartition régulière sans arrêt des cabines, le faible à-coups lors de la prise en charge par le taquet 30 pouvant être amorti par tout moyen approprié. La longueur du tronçon cadenceur C est suffisante pour compenser les écarts maximaux susceptibles de se produire et elle est adaptée à la vitesse différentielle admissible. La combinaison du tronçon cadenceur C et du tronçon décélérateur D facilite la mise en oeuvre de l'invention, mais il est évident que l'entraînement à vitesse lente peut résulter de tout autre moyen de propulsion. La chaîne 28 présente l'avantage d'un synchronisme parfait des déplacements de tous les taquets 30, mais tout autre moyen d'entraînement opérant est utilisable. A la sortie du tronçon cadenceur C la cabine peut être prise en charge par un autre moyen de propulsion.If during the journey the cabin 14 has taken a delay (fig. 3a, b) the cleat 30 catches up with the cabin before the half-way, possibly from the start of the timing section C if this delay is maximum. The cabin crosses the entire section C at high speed V 2 by catching up. Conversely, a forward cabin travels at slow speed V 1 on the section C, the cleat 30 only catching up with it at the end of the journey in the extreme case (FIG. 4a, b). The passage on the clocking section C restores the regular distribution without stopping the cabs, the slight jerks when taken over by the cleat 30 can be amortized by any appropriate means. The length of the timing section C is sufficient to compensate for the maximum deviations likely to occur and it is adapted to the admissible differential speed. The combination of the timing section C and the decelerating section D facilitates the implementation of the invention, but it is obvious that the slow speed drive can result from any other means of propulsion. The chain 28 has the advantage of perfect synchronism of the movements of all the cleats 30, but any other operating drive means can be used. At the end of the timing section C the cabin can be taken care of by another means of propulsion.

Dans la majorité des cas les écarts de répartition sont faibles et il suffit d'équiper l'une des deux stations d'un dispositif cadenceur, qui est de préférence disposé à l'arrivée du brin du câble le moins utilisé.In the majority of cases the differences in distribution are small and it suffices to equip one of the two stations with a timing device, which is preferably arranged at the arrival of the strand of the least used cable.

En se référant maintenant à la figure 5, qui représente une variante de réalisation de l'invention, on voit que le tronçon cadenceur C est confondu ou compris dans le tronçon d'accélération A constitué par le train de galets 22 entraînés en rotation par un moteur électrique 34 à vitesse variable piloté par un bloc de commande 36. La figure 6 représente la courbe de variation de la vitesse tangentielle des galets 22 et en conséquence de la vitesse de la cabine 14 accélérée en fonction de la position "d" de cette dernière sur le tronçon A-C en fonctionnement normal. A l'entrée de ce tronçon A-C est disposé un détecteur de passage 38 d'une cabine entraînée par la chaîne 28, qui fournit un signal au bloc de commande 36. Ce dernier reçoit un signal cadenceur par une horloge 40 et élabore un signal d'écart lorsque la cabine se présente en avance ou en retard du signal cadenceur. Le signal d'écart modifie la commande du moteur 34 pour réaliser une accélération du type représenté à la figure 7 en cas de retard, et du type selon la figure 8 en cas d'avance. Le temps nécessaire au parcours du tronçon A-C est évidemment inférieur dans le cas de la figure 7, où l'accélération intervient dès le début du tronçon C, ce qui permet un rattrapage du retard. Dans le cas de la figure 8, l'accélération intervient à la fin pour réaliser la remise en cadence. A la sortie du tronçon A-C un rail de commande 42 provoque l'accouplement de la pince au câble 10, les cabines étant régulièrement réparties. Un tel cadenceur est de préférence disposé à la sortie du brin le plus utilisé.Referring now to FIG. 5, which represents an alternative embodiment of the invention, it can be seen that the timing section C is coincident or included in the acceleration section A constituted by the train of rollers 22 driven in rotation by an electric motor 34 at variable speed controlled by a control block 36. FIG. 6 represents the variation curve of the tangential speed of the rollers 22 and consequently of the speed of the cabin 14 accelerated as a function of the position "d" of the latter on the section AC in normal operation. At the entrance to this section AC is arranged a passage detector 38 of a cabin driven by the chain 28, which supplies a signal to the control unit 36. The latter receives a timing signal by a clock 40 and generates a signal d 'deviation when the booth is ahead or behind the timing signal. The deviation signal modifies the control of the motor 34 to achieve an acceleration of the type shown in FIG. 7 in the event of delay, and of the type according to FIG. 8 in the event of advance. The time required for the journey of the section AC is obviously less in the case of FIG. 7, where the acceleration occurs from the start of the section C, which allows catching up of the delay. In the case of FIG. 8, the acceleration takes place at the end in order to carry out the resetting in cadence. At the end of the AC section, a control rail 42 causes the clamp to be coupled to the cable 10, the cabs being regularly distributed. Such a timer is preferably arranged at the outlet of the most used strand.

Le cadenceur peut également être associé au dispositif décélérateur 24, la réalisation découlant de l'exposé précédent. Cette disposition nécessite néanmoins un dispositif élaboré d'entraînement des galets décélérateurs. Il est d'autre part concevable sans sortir du cadre de l'invention d'intercaler, par exemple entre l'extrémité de la chaîne 28 et le dispositif accélérateur un cadenceur indépendant.The timer can also be associated with the decelerator device 24, the embodiment resulting from the previous presentation. This arrangement nevertheless requires an elaborate device for driving the decelerating rollers. It is also conceivable without departing from the scope of the invention to interpose, for example between the end of the chain 28 and the accelerator device an independent timer.

L'invention est nullement limitée aux modes de mise en oeuvre plus particulièrement décrits.The invention is in no way limited to the methods of implementation more particularly described.
