Description

L'invention est relative à une installation de transport à câble aérien à défilement continu, notamment télésiège ou télécabine débrayable, comprenant des chariots de support des sièges ou cabines susceptibles d'être désaccouplés du câble à l'entrée d'une station d'embarquement et de circuler dans la station sur des rails de transfert passant sur une zone d'embarquement avant d'être réaccouplé au câble à la sortie de la station.The invention relates to an overhead traveling cable transport installation, in particular a detachable chairlift or gondola, comprising carriages for supporting seats or cabins capable of being uncoupled from the cable at the entrance to a boarding station. and to circulate in the station on transfer rails passing over a boarding area before being re-coupled to the cable at the exit of the station.

L'invention est décrite par la suite comme étant appliquée à un télésiège débrayable, mais il est clair qu'elle s'applique à d'autres installations analogues telles que des télécabines, télébennes monocâbles ou bicâbles, etc... Les stations des télésièges sont fréquemment implantées en plein air en des emplacements où la hauteur de la couche de neige peut varier et être importante. Afin d'éviter le déneigement après chaque chute de neige, il a déjà été proposé de monter tous les éléments constitutifs de la station sur un châssis supporté par des pylônes et de hauteur réglable. Ce châssis porte notamment l'ensemble moteur avec la poulie de retour, ainsi que tout le dispositif d'embrayage avec le système de freinage et d'accélération des chariots. Le soulèvement ou l'abaissement de ce châssis lourd et volumineux nécessite des systèmes de vérins, d'autant plus importants et coûteux que les possibilités de réglage sont souvent d'un ou de plusieurs mètres de hauteur.The invention is described below as being applied to a detachable chairlift, but it is clear that it applies to other similar installations such as gondola lifts, monocable or bicable cableways, etc. The stations of the chairlifts are frequently established outdoors in locations where the height of the snow layer can vary and be significant. In order to avoid snow removal after each snowfall, it has already been proposed to mount all the constituent elements of the station on a frame supported by pylons and of adjustable height. This chassis carries in particular the engine assembly with the return pulley, as well as the entire clutch device with the braking and acceleration system of the carriages. Raising or lowering this heavy and bulky chassis requires jack systems, which are all the more important and costly as the adjustment possibilities are often one or more meters high.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient et de permettre la réalisation d'une installation simplifiée facilement adaptable à toute hauteur de neige.The present invention aims to remedy this drawback and allow the realization of a simplified installation easily adaptable to any depth of snow.

L'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comporte des moyens de réglage en hauteur du tronçon de rails de transfert dans la zone d'embarquement pour adapter la position des sièges ou cabines à la hauteur de la neige dans cette zone d'embarquement.The installation according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises means for adjusting the height of the section of transfer rails in the boarding area to adapt the position of the seats or cabins to the height of the snow in this area. boarding area.

Le câble aérien et les éléments associés de support, de guidage et/ou d'entraînement ainsi que les tronçons de rails de transfert à l'entrée et à la sortie de la station sont montés fixes à un niveau suffisamment élevé pour permettre le libre passage des sièges quelle que soit la hauteur de neige. Après désaccouplement du câble, le chariot support du siège roule sur des rails de transfert d'une voie vers l'autre en passant devant un quai d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement. Selon l'invention, le tronçon de rail dans la zone d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement peut être réglé en hauteur en fonction de l'épaisseur de la couche de neige pour faciliter la montée et la descente des skieurs. Dans les télésièges les sièges viennent cueillir les skieurs ayant les skis chaussés et on comprend que la hauteur du siège doit être parfaitement adaptée pour éviter que le siège en marche bouscule-et renverse les skieurs en instance de départ. Le problème est d'ailleurs le même au débarquement.The overhead cable and the associated support, guiding and / or drive elements as well as the sections of transfer rails at the entrance and at the exit of the station are fixedly fixed at a sufficiently high level to allow free passage. seats whatever the height snow guard. After uncoupling the cable, the seat support trolley rolls on transfer rails from one track to the other passing in front of a loading and / or unloading platform. According to the invention, the rail section in the embarkation and / or disembarkation zone can be adjusted in height as a function of the thickness of the layer of snow to facilitate the ascent and descent of the skiers. In the chairlifts, the seats pick the skiers with the skis on and we understand that the height of the seat must be perfectly adapted to prevent the moving seat from jostling and overturning the skiers in the process of departure. The problem is also the same on landing.

Le tronçon de hauteur réglable est raccordé aux tronçons fixes d'entrée et de sortie de la station par des tronçons de raccordement en pente autorisant le réglage en hauteur et une circulation continue des chariots.The adjustable height section is connected to the stationary entry and exit sections of the station by sloping connecting sections allowing height adjustment and continuous movement of the carriages.

Selon un développement de l'invention les tronçons de raccordement sont articulés aux tronçons d'entrée et de sortie, leur pente variant avec la hauteur du tronçon réglable. Les tronçons de raccordement s'étendent oans la direction générale de la ligne symétriquement et ils sont dotés d'un moyen d'entraînement ou de freinage des chariots. L'encombrement, notamment la longueur de la station, n'est pratiquement pas modifié par le dispositif de réglage selon l'invention, les skieurs pouvant se préparer durant le parcours sur les tronçons de raccordement. Il est également possible de prévoir en amont et en aval du tronçon d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement des tronçons de préparation au même niveau pour réduire les risques de chute des skieurs sans allongement notable de la station.According to a development of the invention, the connecting sections are articulated to the inlet and outlet sections, their slope varying with the height of the adjustable section. The connecting sections extend in the general direction of the line symmetrically and they are provided with a means for driving or braking the carriages. The size, in particular the length of the station, is practically not modified by the adjustment device according to the invention, the skiers being able to prepare during the route on the connecting sections. It is also possible to provide upstream and downstream of the boarding and / or disembarking section for preparation sections at the same level to reduce the risk of skiers falling without significantly lengthening the station.

L'entraînement des chariots sur le rail de transfert est de préférence réalisé par une chaîne sans fin à défilement continu déplaçant positivement les sièges à vitesse réduite. Cette chaîne, éventuellement en plusieurs sections à déplacement synchrone, doit s'adapter au réglage en hauteur selon l'invention.The driving of the carriages on the transfer rail is preferably carried out by an endless continuously moving chain positively moving the seats at reduced speed. This chain, possibly in several sections with synchronous movement, must adapt to the height adjustment according to the invention.

Tout autre mode d'entraînement est concevable et le raccordement des tronçons de rail peut être réalisé différemment, par exemple par un tronçon à pente constante et de longueur variable.Any other drive mode is conceivable and the connection of the rail sections can be carried out differently, for example by a section with constant slope and variable length.

Sur les figures, un câble aérien 10 d'un télésiège monocâble qui pourrait être une télécabine ou un transporteur analogue monocâble ou bicâble, passe dans une station 12 d'extrémité sur une poulie 14 de renvoi entraînée en rotation par un moteur 16. Les sièges 18 sont fixés par une suspente 20 à un chariot 22 portant une pince 24 d'accouplement au câble 10. Un ressort 26 sollicite la pince 24 en position de serrage du câble, l'ouverture étant commandée par un levier 28 coopérant avec une rampe fixe 30. Le chariot 22 porte des galets de roulement 32 et de positionnement 34 et une plaque 36 d'entraînement susceptible de coopérer avec des roues 38 d'entraînement à pneumatiques. Une telle pince est par exemple décrite dans la demande de brevet français N° 81 00432 , à laquelle on se référera avantageusement.In the figures, an overhead cable 10 of a single-cable chairlift which could be a cable car or a similar single-cable or two-cable transporter, passes through an end station 12 on a return pulley 14 driven in rotation by a motor 16. The seats 18 are fixed by a hanger 20 to a carriage 22 carrying a clamp 24 for coupling to the cable 10. A spring 26 biases the clamp 24 in the cable clamping position, the opening being controlled by a lever 28 cooperating with a fixed ramp 30. The carriage 22 carries rollers 32 and positioning rollers 34 and a drive plate 36 capable of cooperating with wheels 38 for driving tires. Such a clamp is for example described in French patent application No. 81 00432, to which reference will advantageously be made.

A l'entrée de la station 12 est disposé parallèlement au câble 10 un rail 40 de transfert sur lequel s'engagent les galets 32. Simultanément le levier 28 de commande d'ouverture de la pince 24 aborde la rampe 30 pour ouvrir la pince 24 et désaccoupler le chariot 22 du câble 10. Un faible mouvement relatif du chariot 22 par rapport au câble 10 dégage ce dernier de la pince 24. Un train de roues 38 à pneumatiques, portées par une poutre 42 parallèle au rail 40, coopérant avec la plaque 36 du chariot 22 pour entraîner ce dernier. Les roues 38 sont entraînées en rotation par tout moyen approprié (non représenté), les premières roues du train tournant à la vitesse du câble 10 pour synchroniser le déplacement du chariot 22 tandis que les roues 38 suivantes décélèrent le chariot 22 désaccouplé du câble 10 et roulant sur le rail 40. Le rail 40 s'étend en demi-boucle dans la station pour rejoindre l'autre brin du câble 10 constituant l'autre voie du télésiège en passant devant une zone d'embarquement 44 si la station 12 est une station d'embarquement. Il est clair que cette station peut être une station de débarquement ou comporter à la fois un quai de débarquement et un quai d'embarquement des passagers, notamment des skieurs. A la sortie du train de roues d'entraînement 38 le chariot 22 est pris en charge par une chaîne 46 à taquets 48 d'entraînement ou de retenue, qui s'étend en boucle fermée le long du rail de transfert 40 pour entraîner positivement les chariots 22 à vitesse réduite. Tout autre système de propulsion des chariots est bien entendu utilisable. La chaîne 46 est supportée par une gouttière de guidage 50 fixée au rail 40 par des étriers 52 et elle comporte deux axes perpendiculaires d'articulation lui permettant de suivre une trajectoire quelconque.At the entrance to the station 12 is arranged parallel to the cable 10 a transfer rail 40 on which the rollers 32 engage. Simultaneously the lever 28 for controlling the opening of the clamp 24 approaches the ramp 30 to open the clamp 24 and uncoupling the carriage 22 from the cable 10. A slight relative movement of the carriage 22 relative to the cable 10 releases the latter from the clamp 24. A set of wheels 38 with tires, carried by a beam 42 parallel to the rail 40, cooperating with the plate 36 of the carriage 22 for driving the latter. The wheels 38 are driven in rotation by any appropriate means (not shown), the first wheels of the train rotating at the speed of the cable 10 to synchronize the movement of the carriage 22 while the following wheels 38 decelerate the carriage 22 uncoupled from the cable 10 and rolling on the rail 40. The rail 40 extends in a half-loop in the station to join the other strand of the cable 10 constituting the other path of the chairlift passing in front of a boarding area 44 if the station 12 is a boarding station. It is clear that this station can be a landing station or include both a landing platform and a platform for boarding passengers, especially skiers. At the exit of the drive wheel train 38 the carriage 22 is supported by a chain 46 with cleats 48 for drive or restraint, which extends in a closed loop along the transfer rail 40 to positively drive the carriages 22 at reduced speed. Any other propulsion system for carriages can of course be used. The chain 46 is supported by a guide gutter 50 fixed to the rail 40 by stirrups 52 and it has two perpendicular axes of articulation allowing it to follow any trajectory.

La sortie de la station 12 est équipée d'une manière analogue d'un train de roues 38 d'entraînement qui accélèrent le chariot 22 et synchronisent sa vitesse avec celle du câble 10 avant le réaccouplement par fermeture de la pince 24 sur le câble 10. De tels télésièges, à sièges débrayables dans les stations, sont connus et permettent un embarquement et débarquement à vitesse réduite, le câble 10 défilant à grande vitesse en continu.The output of the station 12 is similarly equipped with a train of drive wheels 38 which accelerate the carriage 22 and synchronize its speed with that of the cable 10 before re-coupling by closing the clamp 24 on the cable 10 Such chairlifts, with detachable seats in stations, are known and allow embarkation and disembarkation at reduced speed, the cable 10 traveling continuously at high speed.

L'ensemble moteur 16, poulie de retour 14 et les poutres 42 de support des roues d'entraînement sont fixés à des pylônes 54 suffisamment haut pour permettre la circulation des sièges 18 quelle que soit l'épaisseur de la couche de neige 56.The motor assembly 16, return pulley 14 and the beams 42 for supporting the drive wheels are fixed to pylons 54 high enough to allow the circulation of the seats 18 whatever the thickness of the snow layer 56.

Selon la présente invention, le rail 40 est subdivisé en plusieurs tronçons successifs. Un premier tronçon 58 à l'entrée de la station, qui s'étend parallèlement et sur toute la longueur du train de roues d'entraînement 38. Un deuxième tronçon 60 descenseur de pente réglable dont l'une des extrémités est articulée en 62 à l'extrémité du tronçon 58 et dont l'autre extrémité se raccorde à un troisième tronçon 64 d'embarquement sensiblement horizontal qui comprend la boucle de retournement 65 dans la zone d'embarquement 44. Le quatrième tronçon 66 ascenseur est disposé symétriquement au deuxième tronçon 60 et se raccorde au cinquième tronçon 68 d'accélération et de synchronisation analogue au premier tronçon 58. Le tronçon 64 d'embarquement est supporté par des vérins 70, par exemple hydraulique, prenant appui sur le sol ou éventuellement sur la charpente supportée par les pylônes 54. Les vérins 70 sont commandés en synchronisme pour modifier la hauteur du tronçon 64, une position intermédiaire étant représentée en trait discontinu sur la figure 1. La liaison avec les tronçons descenseur 60 et ascenseur 66 est agencée pour permettre ce réglage en hauteur, par exemple par l'emploi d'une lumière 72, mais tout autre système, notamment à chevauchement ou à liaison élastique est utilisable. La chaîne 46 solidaire du rail de transfert 40 suit la variation en hauteur du tronçon 64 pour assurer en toutes positions du tronçon 64 l'entraînement des chariots 22. Un système tendeur (non représenté) ou un dispositif analogue compense les variations de longueur lors d'un réglage en hauteur du tronçon 64. L'entraînement peut également être réalisé par plusieurs chaînes successives chacune associée à l'un des tronçons du rail 40.According to the present invention, the rail 40 is subdivided into several successive sections. A first section 58 at the entrance to the station, which extends parallel and over the entire length of the drive wheel train 38. A second section 60 descender with adjustable slope, one end of which is articulated at 62 to the end of the section 58 and the other end of which is connected to a third section 64 substantially horizontal boarding which includes the turning loop 65 in the boarding area 44. The fourth elevator section 66 is arranged symmetrically to the second section 60 and is connected to the fifth section 68 of acceleration and synchronization similar to the first section 58 The boarding section 64 is supported by jacks 70, for example hydraulic, bearing on the ground or possibly on the frame supported by the pylons 54. The jacks 70 are controlled synchronously to modify the height of the section 64, a intermediate position being shown in broken lines in Figure 1. The connection with the descender 60 and elevator 66 sections is arranged to allow this height adjustment, for example by the use of a light 72, but any other system, in particular at overlapping or elastic connection is usable. The chain 46 integral with the transfer rail 40 follows the variation in height of the section 64 to ensure in all positions of the section 64 the drive of the carriages 22. A tensioning system (not shown) or a similar device compensates for the variations in length during a height adjustment of the section 64. The drive can also be carried out by several successive chains each associated with one of the sections of the rail 40.

Il est inutile de décrire le fonctionnement classique du télésiège et il suffit de remarquer qu'après chaque chute de neige on règle la hauteur du tronçon d'embarquement 64 à l'aide des vérins 70 de façon que les sièges 18 se présentent à la bonne hauteur pour l'embarquement des skieurs, par exemple dans la boucle 65. La course de réglage doit être suffisante pour compenser la hauteur de neige et ne pas nécessiter un déneigement.It is useless to describe the classic functioning of the chairlift and it suffices to note that after each snowfall the height of the boarding section 64 is adjusted using the jacks 70 so that the seats 18 are at the correct height for boarding skiers, for example in loop 65. The adjustment stroke must be sufficient to compensate for the snow depth and not require snow removal.

Le système de réglage en hauteur est évidemment applicable à une station de débarquement avec les mêmes avantages. Le tronçon 64 de hauteur réglable ne comprend pas obligatoirement la boucle de retournement 65 et il peut être rectiligne. La disposition du rail de transfert 40 peut être différente, notamment s'étendre à l'arrière de la poulie de renvoi 14.The height adjustment system is obviously applicable to a landing station with the same advantages. The section 64 of adjustable height does not necessarily include the turning loop 65 and it can be rectilinear. The arrangement of the transfer rail 40 may be different, in particular extending to the rear of the return pulley 14.

L'invention s'étend à toute variante de réalisation.The invention extends to any variant.
