Definitions
- the invention relates to an end station of adjustable height of an aerial cable transport installation with continuous movement, in particular detachable chairlift or gondola, comprising carriages for supporting the seats or cabins capable of being coupled from the cable at the entrance of a boarding station and 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.
- 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 chairlift stations are frequently installed outdoors in locations where the height of the snow layer can vary and be significant.
- This chassis carries in particular the engine assembly with the return pile, as well as the entire clutch device with the braking and acceleration system of the carriages.
- the lifting or lowering of this heavy and bulky chassis requires jack systems, which are all the more important and costly since the adjustment possibilities are often one or more meters high.
- the present invention aims to remedy this drawback and allow the realization of a simplified installation easily adaptable to any depth of snow.
- 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.
- 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 of seats regardless of snow depth.
- the seat support trolley rolls on transfer rails from one track to the other passing in front of a loading and / or unloading platform.
- 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.
- the seats come for skiers with their skis on and we understand that the height of the seat must be perfectly adapted to prevent the moving seat from overturning and overturning the skiers in the process of departure. The problem is also the same on landing.
- the adjustable height section is connected to the fixed entry and exit sections of the station by sloping connection sections allowing height adjustment and continuous movement of the carriages.
- 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.
- 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.
- connection of the rail sections can be carried out differently, for example by a section with constant slope and variable length.
- an overhead cable 10 of a monocable chairlift which could be a gondola or similar monocable or bi-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 by example described in European patent application EP-A-56-919, to which reference will advantageously be made.
- a transfer rail 40 on which the rollers 32 engage.
- 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.
- the wheels 38 are driven in rotation by any suitable 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 running 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 track 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.
- the carriage 22 is supported by a chain 46 with cleats 48 for driving or retaining, 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.
- 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
- 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 disengaged seats in stations, are known and allow boarding and disembarking at reduced speed, the cable 10 traveling continuously at high speed.
- 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.
- 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 l end of the section 58 and the other end of which is connected to a third substantially horizontal boarding section 64 which includes the turning loop 65 in the boarding area 44.
- the fourth section 66 elevator 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, an intermediate position being shown in discontinuous train in Figure 1.
- the connection with the section s descender 60 and elevator 66 is arranged to allow this height adjustment, for example by the use of a light 72, but any other system, in particular overlapping or elastic connection can be used.
- the chain 46 secured to 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.
- 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 pile 14.
