Abstract

1. A running gear carrier for cableways, in particular single-cable circulatory cableways, preferably in the form of a clamping apparatus for suspension members which can be uncoupled from the cable (3), having at least one guide roller (11) which in the station runs in a guide rail (12, 13) which is enlarged in a funnel-like configuration towards the entry end and thus prevents swinging movements of the running gear in a plane which is normal to the cable characterised in that the guide roller (11) and/or its mounting is resilient in the radial direction.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Laufwerksträger für Seilbahnen, insbesondere Einseil-Umlaufbahnen, vorzugsweise in Form eines Klemmapparates für vom Seil abkuppelbare Gehänge, mit mindestens einer Führungsrolle, welche in der Station in einer gegen die Einlaufseite hin trichterförmig erweiterten Führungsschiene läuft und so Pendelbewegungen des Laufwerkes in einer zum Seil senkrechten Ebene verhindert.The invention relates to a drive carrier for cable cars, in particular single-cable circulating ropeways, preferably in the form of a clamping apparatus for hangers that can be uncoupled from the cable, with at least one guide roller which runs in the station in a guide rail which is widened in a funnel shape towards the inlet side and thus oscillates the drive in one plane perpendicular to the rope prevented.

Die Gehänge von Seilbahnen (z.B. Gondeln, Sessel od.dgl.) führen durch Windeinwirkung, durch Bewegungen der Fahrgäste, usw. mehr oder weniger starke Pendelbewegungen in Querrichtung aus, welche beim Einfahren in eine Station zum Stillstand gebracht werden müssen um ein störungsfreies Abklemmen vom Seil zu gewährleisten. Dazu weist der Laufwerksträger bzw. Klemmapparat in Seilnähe eine Stützrolle auf, die auf einer Stützschiene läuft, und in möglichst großer Entfernung vom Seil eine Führungsrolle, welche in eine Führungsschiene einläuft. Deren Wandungen haben eine vertikalen Abstand, welcher wenig größer als der Durchmesser der Führungsrolle ist. Um die Rolle auch bei Pendelbewegungen zu erfassen, sind diese Wandungen gegen die Einlaufrichtung hin trichterförmig erweitert. Während der Einfahrt stößt die Rolle abwechselnd gegen diese Wandungen, so daß die Pendelbewegungen immer kleiner werden. Bei diesen Stößen treten durch das erhebliche Massenträgheitsmoment des gesamten Gehänges große Kräfte auf, welche insbesondere die Führungsrolle und deren Lagerung stark beanspruchen und zu Brüchen führen können.The hangers of cable cars (e.g. gondolas, armchairs or the like) carry out more or less strong pendulum movements in the transverse direction due to the effects of wind, movements of the passengers, etc., which must be brought to a standstill when entering a station in order to ensure trouble-free disconnection from the To ensure rope. For this purpose, the drive carrier or clamping device has a support roller in the vicinity of the cable, which runs on a support rail, and a guide roller which runs into a guide rail at the greatest possible distance from the cable. Their walls have a vertical distance, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide roller. In order to capture the role even with pendulum movements, these walls are widened in a funnel shape towards the inlet direction. During the entry, the roller alternately bumps against these walls, so that the pendulum movements become smaller and smaller. In the event of these impacts, the considerable moment of inertia of the entire hanger causes large forces which, in particular, place great stress on the guide roller and its mounting and can lead to breaks.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile der eingangs genannten bekannten Laufwerksträger bzw. Klemmapparate zu vermeiden, wozu erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen wird, daß die Führungsrolle und/oder ihre Lagerung in radialer Richtung federnd ausgeführt ist.The object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages of the known drive carriers or clamps mentioned at the outset, for which purpose it is proposed according to the invention that the guide roller and / or its mounting is designed to be resilient in the radial direction.

Da die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Gehänge in die Station einlaufen, bei Einseil-Umlaufbahnen der Seil-Umlaufgeschweindigkeit entspricht, also relativ hoch ist, muß eine stoßdämpfende Maßnahme, soll sie wirksam sein, rasch reagieren. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung trifft dies zu, weil die eine Stoßdämpfung bewirkenden, sich federnd bewegenden bzw. deformierenden Massen an den Führungsrollen bzw. deren Lagerung gering sind, so daß keine auf hoher Massenträgheit beruhenden Verzögerungen der stoßdämpfenden Wirkung auftreten.Since the speed with which the slings enter the station corresponds to the cable circulation speed for one-rope orbits, i.e. is relatively high, a shock-absorbing measure, if it is to be effective, must react quickly. This applies to the device according to the invention because the shock-absorbing, resiliently moving or deforming masses on the guide rollers or their bearings are small, so that there are no delays in the shock-absorbing effect due to high inertia.

Aber nicht nur ein rasch wirkendes federndes Abfangen der Stöße zwischen Führungsrolle und Führungsschiene ist wichtig, sondern auch ein hinreichendes Ausmaß der Federung. Vorzugsweise ist die mögliche Federung der Führungsrolle größer als 10 % ihres Durchmessers, was bei den üblichen Rollendurchmessern federnden Deformationen bzw. Federwegen im Zentimeterbereich (größenordnungsmäßig) entspricht. Um diese Federung zu ermöglichen, kann entweder die Führungsrolle selbst nachgiebig ausgeführt sein oder sie wird auf einer nachgiebigen Achse gelagert. Auch eine Kombination beider konstruktiven Merkmale ist denkbar.But it is not only important that the impact between the guide roller and the guide rail is quickly absorbed, but also that the amount of suspension is sufficient. The possible suspension of the guide roller is preferably greater than 10% of its diameter, which corresponds to resilient deformations or spring travel in the centimeter range (of the order of magnitude) for the usual roller diameters. In order to make this suspension possible, either the guide roller itself can be made flexible or it is mounted on a flexible axle. A combination of both design features is also conceivable.

Die erforderliche Dämpfung der Federung der Führungsrolle kann durch Verwendung von hinreichend dämpfendem Material, z.B. von Elastomeren oder Schaumstoffen, oder durch spezielle Dämpfungsvorrichtungen, z.B. bei der Lagerung der Führungsrollen verwendete Stoßdämpfer erzielt werden.The required damping of the guide roller suspension can be achieved by using sufficiently damping material, e.g. of elastomers or foams, or by special damping devices, e.g. Shock absorbers used in the storage of the guide rollers can be achieved.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnungen in Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.

The invention will now be explained with reference to the drawings in exemplary embodiments.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt den Klemmenkasten 1, welcher mittels zweier Klemmbacken 2 während der Fahrt am Seil 3 befestigt ist. In den Stationen werden die Klemmbacken 2 vom Seil 3 durch einen Mechanismus gelöst, welcher einen Hebel 4 aufweist. Dieser trägt an seinem freien Ende eine Rolle 5, welche auf eine nicht dargestellte ortsfeste Schiene aufläuft, so daß der Hebel 4 nach unten verschwenkt wird.1 shows the terminal box 1, which is fastened to the rope 3 by means of two jaws 2 while driving. In the stations, the clamping jaws 2 are released from the rope 3 by a mechanism which has a lever 4. This carries at its free end a roller 5, which runs onto a stationary rail, not shown, so that the lever 4 is pivoted downward.

An der Unterseite des Klemmenkastens 1 ist eine Lagerung 6 für eine Achse 7 vorgesehen. Auf der Achse 7 ist das Gehänge 8 schwenkbar gelagert, sodaß die Gondel oder der Sitz in Fahrtrichtung frei schwingen kann.A bearing 6 for an axis 7 is provided on the underside of the terminal box 1. On the axis 7, the hanger 8 is pivotally mounted, so that the gondola or the seat can swing freely in the direction of travel.

Um den Klemmenkasten 1 in der Station auch nach dem Lösen vom Seil 3 einwandfrei zu unterstützen und insbesondere Schwingungen quer zur Fahrtrichtung zu unterbinden, sind einerseits zwei in einer Stützschiene 9 laufende Stützrollen 10 (in der Zeichnung nur eine sichtbar) vorgesehen, andererseits trägt die Achse 7 an ihrem freien Ende eine Führungsrolle 11, welche in eine Führungsschiene 12 einläuft. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, ist diese gegen die Einlaufseite hin trichterförmig erweitert, damit sie auch bei Querschwingungen des Gehänges sicher von den beiden Führungswänden 13 erfaßt wird (Fig. 1 a).In order to properly support the terminal box 1 in the station even after it has been released from the rope 3 and in particular to prevent vibrations transverse to the direction of travel, two support rollers 10 running in a support rail 9 (only one visible in the drawing) are provided, on the other hand the axis carries 7 at its free end a guide roller 11 which runs into a guide rail 12. As shown in FIG. 2, this is widened in a funnel shape towards the inlet side, so that it is reliably grasped by the two guide walls 13 even in the event of transverse vibrations of the hanger (FIG. 1 a).

Bei bekannten Laufwerken bzw. Klemmapparaten ist die im wesentlichen starre Führungsrolle 11 auf einer starr mit dem Klemmenkasten 1 verbundenen Achse 7 gelagert. Führt beim Einfahren das Gehänge Querschwingungen aus, so bewegt sich die Führungsrolle 11 nach oben und unten und stößt dabei mehrmals abwechselnd gegen die obere und untere Führungswand. Diese Stöße erfolgen im wesentlichen ungefedert, wodurch zwischen Führungswand 13 und Führungsrolle 11 infolge des großen Massenträgheitsmomentes des Gehänges erhebliche Massenkräfte entstehen, welche insbesondere die Führungsrolle 11 und die Achse 7 sowie deren Lagerung belasten und zum Bruch dieser Teile führen können. Eine allfällige relativ harte Gummiauflage auf der Führungsrolle, welche dadurch höchstens um ein paar Millimeter nachgibt, kann kaum einer Verringerung dieser Stoßkräfte bewirken.In known drives or clamping devices, the essentially rigid guide roller 11 is mounted on an axle 7 rigidly connected to the terminal box 1. If the hanger executes transverse vibrations when moving in, the guide roller 11 moves up and down and in the process bumps repeatedly against the upper and lower guide walls. These shocks occur essentially unsprung, whereby considerable mass between the guide wall 13 and guide roller 11 due to the large moment of inertia of the hanger vertical forces arise which in particular stress the guide roller 11 and the axis 7 and their storage and can lead to the breakage of these parts. Any relatively hard rubber pad on the guide roller, which gives way by a maximum of a few millimeters as a result, can hardly reduce these impact forces.

Die erfindungsgemäße Führungsrolle nach den Fig. 3a und 3b weist zwar auch einen relativ starren Laufkranz 14 auf, welcher aber mit der Nabe 15 über einzelne gummielastische Speichen 16, z.B. aus einem elastomeren Kunststoffmaterial, verbunden ist. Infolge des Zwischenraumes zwischen den Speichen 16 können sich diese unter der Wirkung einer Radialkraft umlegen bzw. stauchen, während die gegenüberliegenden Speichen gestreckt werden, so daß der Laufkranz 14 in eine exzentrische Lage verschoben wird. Die Speichen 16 bewirken dabei sowohl eine Federung als auch eine Dämpfung, so daß eine Pendelbewegung des Gehänges ohne größere Stöße zum Stillstand gebracht wird.The guide roller according to the invention according to FIGS. 3a and 3b also has a relatively rigid tread 14, but which is connected to the hub 15 via individual rubber-elastic spokes 16, e.g. made of an elastomeric plastic material. As a result of the space between the spokes 16, these can fold or compress under the action of a radial force while the opposing spokes are stretched, so that the rim 14 is moved into an eccentric position. The spokes 16 cause both suspension and damping, so that a pendulum movement of the hanger is brought to a standstill without major impacts.

Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, kann die Verbindung zwischen Laufkranz 14 und Nabe 15 auch durch Weichschaumstoff, z.B. Schaumgummi 17 erfolgen.As shown in Fig. 4, the connection between the race 14 and the hub 15 can also be made by soft foam, e.g. Foam rubber 17 take place.

In den Ausführungsbeispielen nach den Fig. 5 bis 8 ist kein eigener Laufkranz vorhanden, sondern die Führungsrolle 11 ist als gummielastischer Drehkörper aus elastomerem Kunststoff ausgeführt, welcher einen Nabenteil 15, einen Laufring 19 und einen dazwischen liegenden Federungsteil 20 aufweist. nach Fig. 6 kann dieser zur Erhöhung der Federungsmöglichkeit auch bei Verwendung eines verhältnismäßig harten Kunststoff-Materials balgförmig ausgeführt sein. Auch die Verwendung von Fahrzeugreifen (Fig. 8) ist denkbar, wobei der Hohlraum mit Luft oder mit weichem Schaumstoff gefüllt sein kann.In the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 5 to 8, there is no separate race, but the guide roller 11 is designed as a rubber-elastic rotating body made of elastomeric plastic, which has a hub part 15, a race 19 and a suspension part 20 lying in between. 6, this can be made bellows-shaped to increase the suspension possibility even when using a relatively hard plastic material. The use of vehicle tires (FIG. 8) is also conceivable, the cavity being able to be filled with air or with soft foam.

Wie Fig. 9 zeigt, kann die erfindungsgemäße Federung auch mit einer starren Führungsrolle 11 dadurch erreicht werden, daß diese auf einer um einen Bolzen 21 schwenkbaren Achse 7 gelagert ist. Durch zwei Federn 22, welche sich einerseits an der Achse 7 und anderseits an zwei am Klemmenkasten angebrachten Widerlagern 23 abstützen, wird die Achse 7 nach einer Auslenkung wieder in ihre Mittellage gedrückt. Vorzugsweise sind auch Dämpfungselemente 23 vorgesehen, welche im dargestellen Ausführungsbeispiel in Art der bei Kraftfahrzeugen üblichen Stoßdämpfer mit den Federn zu einer Einheit zusammengebaut sind. Auch die Verwendung einer koaxial zum Bolzen 7 angeordneten Torsionsfeder ist möglich. Beim Lösen der Klemmenbacken 2 vom Seil 3 wird auf die Rolle 5 eine Kraft nach unten ausgeübt. Das dadurch entstehende Drehmoment bewirkt eine Kraft auf die Führungsrolle 11, welche sich dadurch in gewissem Maß verformt. Dies kann zusammen mit einer unsymmetrischen Belastung dazu führen, daß sich der Klemmenkasten nach rechts dreht, was die ordnungsgemäße Funktion des Lösemechanismus beeinträchtigen kann. Um die genannte Schwenkbewegung zu verhindern, ist neben der Führungsschiene 12 eine Stützleiste 18 angebracht, auf der sich die Nabe der Führungsrolle 11 abstützt.As shown in FIG. 9, the suspension according to the invention can also be achieved with a rigid guide roller 11 in that it is mounted on an axle 7 which can be pivoted about a pin 21. By means of two springs 22, which are supported on the one hand on the axis 7 and on the other hand on two abutments 23 attached to the terminal box, the axis 7 is pressed back into its central position after a deflection. Damping elements 23 are preferably also provided, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are assembled to form a unit with the springs in the manner of the shock absorbers customary in motor vehicles. The use of a torsion spring arranged coaxially with the bolt 7 is also possible. When the clamp jaws 2 are released from the rope 3, a force is exerted downward on the roller 5. The resulting torque causes a force on the guide roller 11, which thereby deforms to a certain extent. This, together with an unbalanced load, can cause the terminal box to rotate to the right, which can affect the proper functioning of the release mechanism. In order to prevent the aforementioned pivoting movement, a support bar 18 is mounted next to the guide rail 12, on which the hub of the guide roller 11 is supported.
