Description

L'invention est relative à une installation de transport à câble aérien, notamment une télécabine ou un téléférique, ayant une portée importante entre deux pylônes espacés, la base de chaque pylône étant ancrée au sol et la tête constituant un point d'appui du câble tendu, suivant une trajectoire prédéterminée en chaînette sous l'action d'un dispositif de mise sous tension, entre les deux pylônes.The invention relates to an overhead cable transport installation, in particular a gondola or cable car, having a large span between two spaced pylons, the base of each pylon being anchored to the ground and the head constituting a fulcrum of the cable. tensioned, following a predetermined trajectory in a chain under the action of a tensioning device, between the two pylons.

Les pylônes des installations connues du genre mentionné sont verticaux ou dans le cas d'un terrain en pente éventuellement perpendiculaires au sol, leur hauteur étant bien entendu suffisante pour franchir les obstacles le long de la ligne. La présente invention part de la constatation que lors de grandes portées et de ce fait d'une flèche importante du câble, la hauteur des pylônes croît très rapidement avec l'augmentation de l'écartement des pylônes et de- vien excessive. L'implantation des pylônes est fréquemment imposée par le site et notamment pour le franchissement d'un fleuve les pylônes ancrés sur les berges sont d'une hauteur importante.The pylons of known installations of the kind mentioned are vertical or in the case of sloping ground possibly perpendicular to the ground, their height being of course sufficient to cross obstacles along the line. The present invention starts from the observation that during large spans and therefore a significant cable deflection, the height of the pylons increases very rapidly with the increase in the spacing of the pylons and becomes excessive. The installation of pylons is frequently imposed by the site and in particular for the crossing of a river the pylons anchored on the banks are of a significant height.

Un premier but de la présente invention est de permettre une réduction de la hauteur des pylônes et ce but est réalisé, selon la présente invention, par le fait que les pylônes sont inclinés l'un vers l'autre pour diminuer la portée du câble, la distance entre les points d'appui du câble sur les pylônes étant inférieure à la distance entre les points d'ancrages des pylônes au sol.A first object of the present invention is to allow a reduction in the height of the pylons and this object is achieved, according to the present invention, by the fact that the pylons are inclined towards one another to reduce the span of the cable, the distance between the cable support points on the pylons being less than the distance between the anchor points of the pylons on the ground.

Les pylônes sont avantageusement disposés perpendiculaires à la trajectoire du câble au point d'appui, cette disposition correspondant à une réduction maximale de la hauteur. Le point d'ancrage du pylône et la trajectoire en chaînette du câble étant fixés par les caractéristiques de l'installation, il suffit de tracer la perpendiculaire à cette trajectoire passant par le point d'ancrage pour fixer l'inclinaison optimale du pylône. Le pied du pylône est avantageusement articulé et des haubans, notamment des câbles s'étendant à l'arrière maintiennent le pylône dans la position inclinée. Le poids du pylône peut être suffisant au maintien sous tension du ou des haubans, mais selon un perfectionnement de l'invention, les têtes des deux pylônes sont reliées par un câble prétendu, qui assure simultanément d'autres fonctions, notamment de transfert d'informations ou même de liaison électrique de puissance.The pylons are advantageously arranged perpendicular to the path of the cable at the fulcrum, this arrangement corresponding to a maximum reduction in height. The anchor point of the pylon and the chain path of the cable being fixed by the characteristics of the installation, it is enough to draw the perpendicular to this path passing through the anchor point to fix the incline optimal tower origin. The base of the pylon is advantageously articulated and guy lines, in particular cables extending at the rear, keep the pylon in the inclined position. The weight of the pylon may be sufficient to keep the shroud (s) under tension, but according to an improvement of the invention, the heads of the two pylons are connected by a pretended cable, which simultaneously performs other functions, in particular for transferring information or even electrical power connection.

L'invention a également pour but d'orienter obliquement la poussée exercée par le pylône sur le sol, permettant ainsi, dans le cas d'un franchissement d'un fleuve, d'exercer sur les berges une force de maintien vers l'intérieur.The invention also aims to orient obliquely the thrust exerted by the pylon on the ground, thus allowing, in the case of a river crossing, to exert on the banks a holding force inward .

Selon un développement de l'invention, le câble de haubanage constitue le câble porteur d'un téléférique auxiliaire donnant accès à la tête du pylône, où une plate-forme panoramique ou d'entretien est aménagée.According to a development of the invention, the guying cable constitutes the carrying cable of an auxiliary cableway giving access to the head of the pylon, where a panoramic or maintenance platform is arranged.

L'installation peut être un téléférique à une ou deux voies ou une télécabine monocâble ou bicâble à cabines échelonnées le long du câble ou groupées en train et la ligne peut se limiter au tronçon entre les deux pylônes inclinés ou se raccorder à d'autres tronçons conventionnels.The installation can be a one- or two-way cable car or a single-cable or two-cable gondola with staggered cabins along the cable or grouped by train and the line can be limited to the section between the two inclined pylons or connect to other sections conventional.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui va suivre d'un mode 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 élévation d'une installation selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue partielle à échelle agrandie de la tête d'un pylône selon la fig. 1;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de côté d'un pylône.
  • les fig: 4 et 5 sont des vues de détail du pylône.
Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of an embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example and represented in the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of an installation according to the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial view on an enlarged scale of the head of a pylon according to FIG. 1;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of a pylon.
  • Figs: 4 and 5 are detail views of the pylon.

Sur les figures, une télécabine monocâble présente un tronçon 10 de grande portée, délimité par deux pylônes de support 12, 14. Un câble porteur-tracteur 16 s'étend entre les deux pylônes 12, 14 et se prolonge de part et d'autre par des tronçons d'accès 18, 20, aboutissant à des stations d'extrémités 22, 24, chacune équipée d'une poulie de renvoi 26, 28 du câble qui forme une boucle fermée de circulation de cabines 30. Le câble 16 est maintenu sous tension par un vérin 32 attaquant la poulie 28, et il est entrainé par un moteur 34 accouplé à la poulie 26.In the figures, a single cable gondola has a long section 10, delimited by two support pylons 12, 14. A carrier-tractor cable 16 extends between the two pylons 12, 14 and extends on both sides by access sections 18, 20, leading to end stations 22, 24, each equipped with a pulley for returning cable 26, 28 which forms a closed loop for circulation of cabins 30. The cable 16 is held under tension by a jack 32 driving the pulley 28, and it is driven by a motor 34 coupled to the pulley 26.

De telles télécabines sont bien connues et elles peuvent être du type pulsé où le câble est arrêté ou ralenti pour l'embarquement et le débarquement des passagers, ou du type continu où les cabines sont débrayées du câble à défilement continu dans les stations 22, 24. Il est clair que l'invention est applicable à une télécabine bicâble comportant un câble porteur et un câble tracteur séparé, le câble porteur étant ancré dans les stations ainsi qu'à un téléférique à navette ou à va-et-vient. Il est inutile de décrire de telles installations.Such gondolas are well known and they can be of the pulsed type where the cable is stopped or slowed down for the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers, or of the continuous type where the cabins are disengaged from the continuous scrolling cable in stations 22, 24 It is clear that the invention is applicable to a two-cable gondola comprising a carrying cable and a separate towing cable, the carrying cable being anchored in the stations as well as to a shuttle or to-and-fro cable car. It is unnecessary to describe such installations.

La télécabine, illustrée par les figures, franchit par exemple un fleuve 36, les pieds 42, 44 des pylônes 12, 14 étant ancrés sur les deux berges. Les pylônes 12, 14 sont penchés l'un vers l'autre, l'écartement des têtes 38, 40 étant inférieur à celui des pieds 42, 44. Les têtes 38, 40 supportent des balanciers 46 de support du câble 16, lequel s'étend suivant une trajectoire en chaînette déterminée par la charge. Le pied 42, 44 du pylône 12, 14 est articulé sur un axe 47 perpendiculaire au plan vertical contenant le câble 16 et un ou des haubans 48, notamment des câbles de haubanage, sont fixés d'une part à la tête du pylône 12, 14 et d'autre part à un point d'ancrage 50 éloigné de la berge. Les haubans 48 maintiennent le pylône 12, 14 dans la position inclinée à l'encontre du poids et de la force d'appui du câble 16. Les têtes 38, 40 sont de plus reliées par un câble 52, qui assure une prétension et éventuellement une liaison électrique de puissance ou de sécurité entre les deux pylônes 12, 14.The cable car, illustrated in the figures, for example crosses a river 36, the feet 42, 44 of the pylons 12, 14 being anchored on the two banks. The pylons 12, 14 are tilted towards each other, the spacing of the heads 38, 40 being less than that of the feet 42, 44. The heads 38, 40 support pendulums 46 for supporting the cable 16, which s 'extends along a chain trajectory determined by the load. The foot 42, 44 of the pylon 12, 14 is articulated on an axis 47 perpendicular to the vertical plane containing the cable 16 and one or more guys 48, in particular guy cables, are fixed on the one hand to the head of the pylon 12, 14 and on the other hand to an anchor point 50 distant from the bank. The shrouds 48 maintain the pylon 12, 14 in the inclined position against the weight and the bearing force of the cable 16. The heads 38, 40 are further connected by a cable 52, which provides pretension and possibly an electrical connection of power or security between the two pylons 12, 14.

En se référant à la figure 1, on comprend que pour une trajectoire en chaînette donnée du câble 16, la hauteur h1 des pylônes 12, 14, inclinés selon l'invention, est inférieure à celle h2 de pylônes disposés verticalement. L'angle d'inclinaison est choisi de façon que la direction du pylône 12, 14 soit sensiblement perpendiculaire au câble 16 au point d'appui 46 de ce dernier, ce qui correspond à une hauteur minimale du pylône.Referring to Figure 1, it is understood that for a given chain path of the cable 16, the height h 1 of the pylons 12, 14, inclined according to the invention, is less than that h 2 of pylons arranged vertically. The angle of inclination is chosen so that the direction of the pylon 12, 14 is substantially perpendicular to the cable 16 at the fulcrum 46 of the latter, which corresponds to a minimum height of the pylon.

Chaque pylône 12, 14 comporte deux jambes 54, 56 en V inversé se rejoignant au sommet 38, de la manière représentée à la figure 3, et chaque jambe est en forme de losange allongé pour assurer une résistance optimale aux efforts de flambage. Toute autre structure est bien entendu utilisable.Each pylon 12, 14 has two legs 54, 56 in inverted V joining at the top 38, as shown in Figure 3, and each leg is in the form of an elongated diamond to ensure optimum resistance to buckling forces. Any other structure is of course usable.

A la tête du pylône 12 est fixée une plate-forme 58 suffisamment basse pour ne pas entraver le passage des cabines 30, cette plate-forme 58 facilitant l'entretien des balanciers 46 et/ou constituant une plate-forme panoramique. L'accès à la plate-forme 58 est facilité par un téléférique auxiliaire ayant une benne 60 dont le chariot 62 roule sur le câble de haubanage 48 en étant tracté par un câble tracteur 64. Une échancrure 66 ou un orifice ménagé dans la plate-forme 58, permet le passage de la benne 60, qui s'arrête au niveau de la plate-forme pour l'embarquement et le débarquement des passagers. L'ensemble est simple et fait appel à des installations classiques dont il est inutile de décrire plus en détail la constitution ou le fonctionnement. Le pylône 14 peut être équipé d'une manière analogue d'un tel téléférique auxiliaire.At the head of the pylon 12 is fixed a platform 58 low enough not to obstruct the passage of the cabins 30, this platform 58 facilitating the maintenance of the pendulums 46 and / or constituting a panoramic platform. Access to the platform 58 is facilitated by an auxiliary cable car having a bucket 60 whose carriage 62 rolls on the guying cable 48 while being towed by a towing cable 64. A notch 66 or an orifice formed in the platform shape 58, allows the passage of the bucket 60, which stops at the platform for the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers. The assembly is simple and uses conventional installations of which it is unnecessary to describe in more detail the constitution or the operation. The pylon 14 can be equipped in a similar manner with such an auxiliary cableway.

La disposition inclinée, selon l'invention, des pylônes 12, 14 présente de plus l'avantage d'exercer sur les berges une poussée vers l'intérieur des terres permettant un rapprochement maximal des points d'ancrage 42, 44 sans risque d'effondrement de la berge et de limiter ainsi la portée entre les pylônes 12, 14.The inclined arrangement, according to the invention, of the pylons 12, 14 also has the advantage of exerting on the banks an inward thrust allowing maximum approximation of the anchor points 42, 44 without risk of collapse of the bank and thus limit the span between the pylons 12, 14.

L'invention n'est bien entendu nullement limitée au mode de mise en oeuvre plus particulièrement décrit et elle s'étend à toute variante, notamment à celle dans laquelle l'installation comporterait des tronçons adjacents à pylônes verticaux.The invention is of course in no way limited to the mode of implementation more particularly described and it extends to any variant, in particular to that in which the installation would include sections adjacent to vertical pylons.
