Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for aiding entry into continuously circulating cable cars, in particular chairlifts with cable pulley entry, acceleration and / or means of transport acting for the skier being provided in the direction of travel of the conveyor cable leading uphill.
- a system was also proposed for entry assistance for chairlifts with cable pulley entry, consisting of driven driver arms that give the skier a push from behind, and an entry piste below the driven driver arms, this entry piste having a sliding surface made of synthetic material or a variety of rollers and the incline can be adjusted relative to the foundation of the system (FR-A 2 392 857).
- the object of the invention is to expand the scope of entry aids of the type mentioned. This is achieved according to the invention in that at least some of the acceleration and / or transport means can be adjusted relative to the fixed structure of the cable car station in the same or in the opposite direction to the direction of transport or travel.
- the valley station is designed as a tensioning station, in which the cable pulley is arranged to be adjustable in the direction of the cable, in order to compensate for rope elongations caused over time by stress.
- the actual entry point where the skier is taken over by the track e.g. chair
- the track e.g. chair
- the acceleration and / or transport means can preferably have a motor-driven revolving conveyor belt, the upper run of which is essentially lies horizontally and moves in the direction of travel of the mountain rope leading uphill.
- the drive of the conveyor belt could be controlled in such a way that it gives the conveyor belt an intermittent accelerated movement over a certain period of time in accordance with the interval of the rail hangers (chairs), for example each time from the moment the entrance barrier is opened until the rail hangers (chairs) assigned to the relevant barrier opening. leaves the station.
- it is easier to drive the conveyor belt To be designed so that the conveyor belt rotates continuously, with a proportional speed corresponding to the respective cable circulation speed, which is preferably lower than the cable circulation speed and constant, as long as the cable circulation speed remains constant.
- the acceleration and / or transport means only consist of a revolving conveyor belt (for example an intermittently accelerated conveyor belt), then the solution according to the invention is to design this conveyor belt to be adjustable relative to the fixed structure of the cable car station in the transport or travel direction.
- “divided” acceleration and / or transport means for example in the case of a constantly rotating conveyor belt and an upstream acceleration ramp, it is sufficient if only a part, in the specifically mentioned case the acceleration ramp, is arranged adjustable according to the invention.
- both parts of the acceleration and / or transport means namely the conveyor belt and acceleration ramp in the valley station, can preferably be jointly adjustable in the transport direction.
- the preferably existing entry barrier can also be adjusted with the adjustable part of the acceleration and / or transport means, for example in that the entry barrier on the adjustable part of the acceleration and / or Transport is formed. It would also be useful, for example, to be able to adjust the gradient of the acceleration ramp.

- Fig. 2 is shown without the conveyor belt 3, so that also in Fig. 2, the upper run of the conveyor belt 3 supporting support rollers 6 and deflection rollers 7 are visible.
- the conveyor belt 3 can consist of a carrier belt made of reinforced, preferably fabric-reinforced, high-polymer material and of a covering made of a plastic fleece that slides well for skiing surfaces.
- the support structure 2 carries an inclined acceleration ramp 8, which drops to the conveyor belt 3, further the entry barrier 9 (just closed in FIG. 1) and to the side next to the acceleration ramp 8 handrails or railings 10.
- the acceleration ramp 8 is expediently so designed that the skier moves up to the conveyor belt 3 at a speed V1, which is greater than the speed V2 of the conveyor belt 3.
- the speed of the skier then decreases to the rotational speed V2 of the conveyor belt. This speed is less than the cable speed V3 of the chairlift.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur Einstieghilfe bei kontinuierlich umlaufenden Seilbahnen, insbesondere Sesselbahnen mit Seilscheibeneinstieg, wobei in Fahrtrichtung des bergwärts führenden Förderseiles wirkende Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel für den Skiläufer vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a device for aiding entry into continuously circulating cable cars, in particular chairlifts with cable pulley entry, acceleration and / or means of transport acting for the skier being provided in the direction of travel of the conveyor cable leading uphill.
Insbesondere bei Sesselbahnen werden heute die Fahrgäste üblicherweise in Fahrtrichtung der Seilbahn zugeführt (Seilscheibeneinstieg). Die Skifahrer müssen dabei meist selbst durch Anschieben mit den Stöcken an den Startplatz gelangen, wo sie dann von den umlaufenden Sesseln übernommen werden. Bei Hochleistungsbahnen erfolgt die Zuführung der Fahrgäste (jeweils zwei, drei oder vier Personen gleichzeitig) in relativ kurzen Intervallen.In the case of chairlifts in particular, passengers are usually directed towards the cable car in the direction of travel (cable pulley entry). The skiers usually have to push themselves with the sticks to the starting point, where they are then taken over by the surrounding armchairs. In the case of high-performance railways, passengers are fed in (two, three or four people at a time) at relatively short intervals.
Es wurden bereits verschiedene mechanische Transport- und Beschleunigungseinrichtungen vorgeschlagen, um den Fahrgästen den Zugang zum Startplatz zu erleichtern, z.B. umlaufende Förderbänder, angetriebene Rollen und/oder Schubarme.Various mechanical transport and acceleration devices have already been proposed to make it easier for passengers to access the launch site, e.g. revolving conveyor belts, driven rollers and / or push arms.
Bewährt hat sich in jüngerer Zeit die Kombination eines motorisch angetriebenen umlaufenden Förderbandes, dessen Obertrum im wesentlichen horizontal liegt und sich in Fahrtrichtung des bergwärts führenden Förderseiles bewegt, mit einer einstiegseitig dem Förderband vorgesetzten abfallenden Beschleunigungsrampe, wobei der Zugang zur abfallenden Beschleunigungsrampe durch eine im Intervall der Bahngehänge öffnende Einstiegschranke freigegeben wird (AT-A 3427/87).The combination of a motor-driven revolving conveyor belt, the upper strand of which is essentially horizontal and moves in the direction of travel of the conveyor rope leading uphill, with a declining acceleration ramp located on the entry side of the conveyor belt has proven successful in recent times, with access to the declining acceleration ramp through an interval of Entrance barrier opening the web sling is released (AT-A 3427/87).
Vorgeschlagen wurde auch eine Anlage zur Einstieghilfe bei Sesselbahnen mit Seilscheibeneinstieg, bestehend aus angetriebenen Mitnehmerarmen, die dem Skiläufer von hinten einen Schub erteilen, und aus einer Einstiegspiste unterhalb der angetriebenen Mitnehmerarme, wobei diese Einstiegspiste einen Gleitbelag aus synthetischem Material oder eine Vielzahl von Rollen aufweist und gegenüber dem Fundament der Anlage in der Neigung einstellbar ist (FR-A 2 392 857).A system was also proposed for entry assistance for chairlifts with cable pulley entry, consisting of driven driver arms that give the skier a push from behind, and an entry piste below the driven driver arms, this entry piste having a sliding surface made of synthetic material or a variety of rollers and the incline can be adjusted relative to the foundation of the system (FR-A 2 392 857).
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Anwendungsbereich von Einstieghilfen der eingangs genannten Gattung zu erweitern. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß zumindest ein Teil der Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel relativ zum festen Baukörper der Seilbahnstation gleich- oder gegensinnig zur Transport- bzw. Fahrtrichtung verstellbar ist.The object of the invention is to expand the scope of entry aids of the type mentioned. This is achieved according to the invention in that at least some of the acceleration and / or transport means can be adjusted relative to the fixed structure of the cable car station in the same or in the opposite direction to the direction of transport or travel.
Dadurch wird es möglich (jedenfalls besser als bisher), die Einstieghilfe auch bei Seilbahnen anzuwenden, bei denen die Talstation als Spannstation ausgebildet ist, in der die Seilscheibe in Seilrichtung verstellbar angeordnet ist, um vor allem belastungsbedingt mit der Zeit hervorgerufene Seillängungen auszugleichen. Je nach Stellung der Seilscheibe wird bei einer solchen Anlage auch die eigentliche Einstiegstelle, wo der Skiläufer vom Bahngehänge (z.B. Sessel) übernommen wird, entsprechend verschoben, weil die Einstiegstelle bereits in einem bestimmten konstanten Abstand vor der Seilscheibe sein sollte.This makes it possible (at least better than before) to also use the boarding aid for cable cars in which the valley station is designed as a tensioning station, in which the cable pulley is arranged to be adjustable in the direction of the cable, in order to compensate for rope elongations caused over time by stress. Depending on the position of the rope sheave, the actual entry point where the skier is taken over by the track (e.g. chair) is moved accordingly in such a system, because the entry point should already be at a certain constant distance in front of the rope sheave.
Die Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel können vorzugsweise ein motorisch angetriebenes umlaufendes Förderband aufweisen, dessen Obertrum im wesentlichen horizontal liegt und sich in Fahrtrichtung des bergwärts führenden Förderseiles bewegt.The acceleration and / or transport means can preferably have a motor-driven revolving conveyor belt, the upper run of which is essentially lies horizontally and moves in the direction of travel of the mountain rope leading uphill.
Der Antrieb des Förderbandes könnte so gesteuert sein, daß er dem Förderband über eine gewisse Zeitspanne entsprechend dem Intervall der Bahngehänge (Sessel) eine intermittierende beschleunigte Bewegung erteilt, z.B. jedesmal vom Moment der Öffnung der Einstiegschranke, bis das der betreffenden Schrankenöffnung zugeordnete Bahngehänge (Sessel) die Station verläßt. Einfacher ist es jedoch, den Antrieb des Förderbandes so auszubilden, daß das Förderband kontinuierlich umläuft, und zwar mit einer der jeweiligen Seilumlaufgeschwindigkeit entsprechenden proportionalen Geschwindigkeit, die jedoch vorzugsweise kleiner als die Seilumlaufgeschwindigkeit und konstant ist, solange die Seilumlaufgeschwindigkeit konstant bleibt. In diesem Fall ist es zweckmäßig, im Bereich des Einstiegendes des Förderbandes eine besondere Beschleunigungseinrichtung auszubilden - z.B. entsprechend dem eingangs genannten bekannten Vorschlag - in Form einer abfallenden Beschleunigungsrampe, deren Zugang durch eine im Intervall der Bahngehänge (Sessel) öffnende Einstiegschranke od.dgl. gesichert ist.The drive of the conveyor belt could be controlled in such a way that it gives the conveyor belt an intermittent accelerated movement over a certain period of time in accordance with the interval of the rail hangers (chairs), for example each time from the moment the entrance barrier is opened until the rail hangers (chairs) assigned to the relevant barrier opening. leaves the station. However, it is easier to drive the conveyor belt To be designed so that the conveyor belt rotates continuously, with a proportional speed corresponding to the respective cable circulation speed, which is preferably lower than the cable circulation speed and constant, as long as the cable circulation speed remains constant. In this case, it is expedient to design a special acceleration device in the area of the entry end of the conveyor belt - for example in accordance with the known proposal mentioned at the beginning - in the form of a sloping acceleration ramp, the access of which is achieved by an entry barrier or the like which opens in the interval of the web hangers (armchairs). is secured.
Wenn die Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel nur aus einem umlaufenden Förderband bestehen (z.B. einem intermittierend beschleunigten), dann besteht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung darin, dieses Förderband relativ zum festen Baukörper der Seilbahnstation in Transport- bzw. Fahrtrichtung verstellbar auszubilden. Bei "geteilten" Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmitteln, z.B. bei einem konstant umlaufenden Förderband und vorgesetzten Beschleunigungsrampe genügt es, wenn nur ein Teil, im konkret genannten Fall die Beschleunigungsrampe, erfindungsgemäß verstellbar angeordnet ist. Es können aber auch, z.B. wenn Förderband und Beschleunigungsrampe auf einem gemeinsamen Träger angeordnet sind, beide Teile der Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel, nämlich Förderband und Beschleunigungsrampe in der Talstation in Transportrichtung vorzugsweise gemeinsam verstellbar sein.If the acceleration and / or transport means only consist of a revolving conveyor belt (for example an intermittently accelerated conveyor belt), then the solution according to the invention is to design this conveyor belt to be adjustable relative to the fixed structure of the cable car station in the transport or travel direction. In the case of “divided” acceleration and / or transport means, for example in the case of a constantly rotating conveyor belt and an upstream acceleration ramp, it is sufficient if only a part, in the specifically mentioned case the acceleration ramp, is arranged adjustable according to the invention. However, for example if the conveyor belt and acceleration ramp are arranged on a common carrier, both parts of the acceleration and / or transport means, namely the conveyor belt and acceleration ramp in the valley station, can preferably be jointly adjustable in the transport direction.
Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn mit dem verstellbaren Teil der Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel auch die vorzugsweise vorhandene Einstiegschranke verstellbar ist, etwa dadurch, daß die Einstiegschranke am verstellbaren Teil der Beschleunigungs- und/oder Transportmittel ausgebildet ist. Weiters wäre es z.B. zweckmäßig, das Gefälle der Beschleunigungsrampe einstellen zu können.It is also advantageous if the preferably existing entry barrier can also be adjusted with the adjustable part of the acceleration and / or transport means, for example in that the entry barrier on the adjustable part of the acceleration and / or Transport is formed. It would also be useful, for example, to be able to adjust the gradient of the acceleration ramp.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Förderband quer zur Transportrichtung verstellbar ist. Eine solche Verstellung des Förderbandes quer zur Transportrichtung ist sinnvoll, um einen schon abgenützten Bereich der Oberfläche des Förderbandes "auf die Seite" zu schieben und einen noch unabgenützten Oberflächenbereich zum Einsatz zu bringen.According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the conveyor belt is adjustable transversely to the direction of transport. Such an adjustment of the conveyor belt transversely to the direction of transport is useful in order to push an already worn area of the surface of the conveyor belt "to the side" and to use an unused surface area.
Die Erfindung ist anhand der Zeichnung durch ein Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing by an embodiment.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht A und Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf den Einstiegsbereich der als Spannstation ausgebildeten Talstation einer Sesselbahn.1 shows a side view A and FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the entry area of the valley station of a chairlift designed as a tensioning station.
Der Einstiegbereich der dargestellten Talstation einer Sesselbahn weist ein ortsfestes Fundament 1 aus Beton auf, welches zum festen Baukörper der Seilbahnstation gehört und auf dem eine Tragkonstruktion 2 ruht, auf welcher die Antriebsmittel und Führungsorgane eines umlaufenden Förderbandes 3 angeordnet sind, dessen Obertrum im wesentlichen horizontal liegt und sich im Betrieb in Fahrtrichtung 4 der Sesselbahn bewegt. Fig. 2 ist ohne das Förderband 3 dargestellt, sodaß auch in Fig. 2 die das Obertrum des Förderbandes 3 stützenden Stützrollen 6 und Umlenkwalzen 7 sichtbar sind. Das Förderband 3 kann aus einem Trägerband aus verstärktem, vorzugsweise gewebeverstärktem hochpolymeren Werkstoff und aus einem für Skilaufflächen gut gleitenden Belag aus einem Kunststoffvlies bestehen.The entrance area of the valley station of a chairlift shown has a fixed foundation 1 made of concrete, which belongs to the solid structure of the cable car station and on which a supporting
Am einstiegseitigen Ende des Förderbandes 3 trägt die Tragkonstruktion 2 eine geneigte, zum Förderband 3 abfallende Beschleunigungsrampe 8, ferner die Einstiegschranke 9 (in Fig. 1 gerade geschlossen) sowie seitlich neben der Beschleunigungsrampe 8 Handläufe bzw. Geländer 10. Die Beschleunigungsrampe 8 ist zweckmäßig so ausgelegt, daß der Skiläufer auf das Förderband 3 mit einer Geschwindigkeit V₁ auffährt, die größer ist als die Geschwindigkeit V₂ des Förderbandes 3. Auf der im wesentlichen horizontalen Oberfläche des Förderbandes verringert sich dann die Geschwindigkeit des Skiläufers auf die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit V₂ des Förderbandes. Diese Umlaufgeschwindigkeit ist kleiner als die Seilumlaufgeschwindigkeit V₃ der Sesselbahn. Durch eine solche Einstieghilfe wird nicht nur der Komfort beim Zustieg durch verringerten Anfahrstoß vergrößert, sondern es kann auch die Fahrgeschwindigkeit angehoben und dadurch die Förderleistung der Seilbahn verbessert werden.At the entry-side end of the
Vor der Beschleunigungsrampe 8 ist das Fundament mit einem Bretterboden 11 abgedeckt. Dort befindet sich der mit einer Schneeauflage versehene Anstellbereich für die Skiläufer. Auch die Beschleunigungsrampe 8 weist im Betrieb eine Schneeauflage oder aber einen Gleitbelag, etwa wie das Förderband 3, auf.In front of the
In Fig. 1 sind zwei Stellungen S und S′ der Seilscheibe 12 eingezeichnet. Der Abstand zwischen S und S′ ist der Spannweg. In Fig. 1 entspricht die Stellung S dem dargestellten Betriebszustand. Muß die Seilscheibe 12 zur Spannung des Seiles 13 in Richtung nach S′ verschoben werden, dann verschiebt sich auch die - in Fig. 1 durch das fix am Seil 13 geklemmte Sesselgehänge 14 symbolisierte - Einstiegstelle (im Bereich zwischen der nicht dargestellten Seilscheiben-Einführungsrolle und der Einfahrtbinder-Rolle) in Richtung nach S′. Zu dieser verschobenen Einstiegstelle paßt die dargestellte Lage des Förderbandes 3 und der Beschleunigungsrampe 8 nicht mehr.In Fig. 1 two positions S and S 'of the
Gemäß der Erfindung kann nun aber das Förderband 3 und die Beschleunigungsrampe 8 (samt Einstiegsschranke 9) in Transport- bzw. Fahrtrichtung (gleichsinnig oder gegensinnig) verstellt werden, und zwar im dargestellten Fall in Richtung des Pfeiles 15 (dann aber, wenn nötig, wieder zurück in Richtung des Pfeiles 16). Zur Verstellung weist die Rahmenkonstruktion 2 einfach ein Paar Kufen 17 auf, die es gestatten, die Rahmenkonstruktion 2 z.B. mit Hilfe eines Traktors oder einer Winde in die gewünschte Richtung 15,16 über eine der Verstellung der Seilscheibe 12 entsprechenden Länge zu ziehen (was üblicherweise nicht sehr oft im Laufe eines Betriebsjahres erforderlich ist). Es wäre natürlich auch möglich, die Rahmenkonstruktion 2 mit Laufrollen auszustatten, um ein leichteres Verstellen zu ermöglichen, und eine Verstelleinrichtung für die Rahmenkonstruktion 2 vorzusehen, die mit der Verstelleinrichtung für die Seilscheibe 12 gekoppelt ist. Beim Verstellen der Rahmenkonstruktion 2 in Richtung von S und S′ (Pfeil 15) ist auch der Bretterboden 11 einfach durch Abnehmen einzelner Bretter zu verkürzen.According to the invention, however, the
Eine mögliche Ausführungsvariante zu Fig. 1 und 2 besteht darin, daß ein in Richtung des Pfeiles 15 verlängertes Förderband verwendet wird, das auf einem ortsfesten Rahmen angeordnet ist und sich fallweise unter den Bretterboden 11 hinein erstreckt und daß zur Anpassung der Einstieghilfe an unterschiedliche Stellungen der Seilscheibe 12 nur die Beschleunigungsrampe 8 (samt Einstiegschranke 9 und Handlauf bzw. Geländer 10) verstellt wird. Dazu muß allerdings die Beschleunigungsrampe 8 auf einem gesonderten, in Richtung der Pfeile 15,16 verstellbaren Rahmenteil angeordnet sein.A possible embodiment variant of FIGS. 1 and 2 is that an extended conveyor belt in the direction of
Die Erfindung ist insbesondere für Sesselbahnen mit fix am Seil geklemmten Sesseln gedacht, kann aber grundsätzlich auch für kontinuierlich umlaufende Seilbahnen mit anderen Fahrbetriebsmitteln (Bahngehängen), z.B. Schleppgehängen, zur Anwendung kommen.The invention is intended in particular for chairlifts with armchairs firmly clamped to the rope, but can in principle also be used for continuously revolving ropeways with other driving means (railway hangers), e.g. Tow hangers are used.
