Description

L'invention est relative à une station d'extrémité de tension d'une installation de transport à câble aérien porteur- tracteur, s'étendant en boucle fermée le long de la ligne entre deux stations et auquel sont suspendus par des pinces d'accouplement des véhicules circulant entre les deux stations, ladite station comprenant:

  • une poulie de renvoi sur laquelle passe ledit câble,
  • un dispositif de débrayage des véhicules à l'entrée de la station,
  • un dispositif d'embrayage des véhicules à la sortie de la station,
  • un rail de transfert s'étendant dans le prolongement de la ligne dans la station, pour guider les véhicules débrayés du câble de l'entrée vers la sortie de la station, en passant sur des quais d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement, ledit rail en forme de demi-boucle contournant ladite poulie,
  • un chariot de support de ladite poulie susceptible de coulisser suivant l'axe longitudinal de ladite ligne reliant les deux stations,
  • un dispositif de tension sollicitant ledit chariot en direction de tension dudit câble porteur-tracteur.
The invention relates to a tension end station of a transport installation with an overhead carrier-tractor cable, extending in a closed loop along the line between two stations and to which are suspended by coupling clips. vehicles circulating between the two stations, said station comprising:
  • a return pulley over which said cable passes,
  • a vehicle declutching device at the entrance to the station,
  • a vehicle clutching device at the station exit,
  • a transfer rail extending in line with the line in the station, to guide the vehicles disengaged from the cable from the entrance to the exit of the station, passing on boarding and / or landing platforms, said rail in the form of a half-loop bypassing said pulley,
  • a support carriage for said pulley capable of sliding along the longitudinal axis of said line connecting the two stations,
  • a tensioning device urging said carriage in the direction of tension of said carrier-tractor cable.

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 ou télébennes.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 cable cars or cable cars.

Les stations du genre mentionné sont équipées de dispositifs faisant varier la longueur de la ligne en fonction de la charge pour maintenir sensiblement constante la tension du câble porteur-tracteur. A cet effet le chariot de support de la poulie de renvoi coulisse, sous l'action d'un vérin ou de tout autre système de tension, dans la direction longitudinale de la ligne. Dans certaines installations ces débattements sont importants et nécessitent des espaces libres, qui imposent des contraites d'implantation des autres parties constitutives de la station. En particulier la trajectoire d'un rail de transfert, contournant la poulie de renvoi, doit être suffisamment longue pour ne pas gêner les déplacements de la poulie et la longueur de la station peut en dépendre. Il a déjà été proposé de reporter la poulie vers l'arrière du rail de transfert mais cette disposition complique l'agencement général de la station.Stations of the kind mentioned are equipped with devices varying the length of the line according to the load to keep the tension of the carrier-tractor cable substantially constant. To this end, the support pulley for the return pulley slides, under the action of a jack or any other tensioning system, in the longitudinal direction of the line. In certain installations these deflections are significant and require free spaces, which impose implantation constraints on the other constituent parts of the station. In particular, the trajectory of a transfer rail, bypassing the return pulley, must be long enough not to hinder the displacements of the pulley and the length of the station may depend on it. It has already been proposed to postpone the pulley towards the rear of the transfer rail, but this arrangement complicates the general arrangement of the station.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une station de structure simple autorisant des débattements de la poulie de tension et elle est caractérisée en ce que ledit rail de transfert est porté par ledit chariot pour se déplacer avec ladite poulie et maintenir une position relative constante entre la poulie et le rail.The object of the present invention is to provide a station with a simple structure allowing movements of the tension pulley and it is characterized in that said transfer rail is carried by said carriage to move with said pulley and to maintain a constant relative position between the pulley and the rail.

La poulie de tension et le rail de transfert sont montés sur le même support coulissant et leur position relative constante est ainsi parfaitement définie et optimale. Cette disposition facilite également l'entraînement des moyens de propulsion des véhicules sur le rail de transfert, soit par la poulie de renvoi soit directement par le câble.The tension pulley and the transfer rail are mounted on the same sliding support and their constant relative position is thus perfectly defined and optimal. This arrangement also facilitates the driving of the vehicle propulsion means on the transfer rail, either by the return pulley or directly by the cable.

En montant les dispositifs de débrayage et/ou d'embrayage et éventuellement le moteur, lorsque la poulie est motrice, sur le même chariot de support de la poulie et du rail de transfert, toutes les parties actives de la station sont regroupées et fixes les unes par rapport aux autres, ce qui facilite l'agencement de l'ensemble.By mounting the declutching and / or clutch devices and possibly the motor, when the pulley is driving, on the same carriage supporting the pulley and the transfer rail, all the active parts of the station are grouped together and fixed the relative to each other, which facilitates the arrangement of the assembly.

Le chariot coulissant est avantageusement une structure métallique en forme de cadre ayant des poutres s'étendant le long du rail de transfert, qui y est fixé, notamment par des supports en forme de col de cygne. Ces supports maintiennent également les moyens de propulsion, par exemple les roues de friction, entraînant les véhicules sur le rail. Le chariot est porté par un ou plusieurs piliers, de préférence centraux, s'étendant dans le plan vertical contenant l'axe longitudinal de la station et de la ligne et qui portent des galets fixes de support et de guidage du chariot. Les galets coopèrent avec des longerons ou poutres internes du chariot qui encadrent les piliers. Toute autre structure, notamment de suspension au plafond d'un bâti est bien entendu utilisable. La poulie et le rail sont de préférence sensiblement dans un même plan, horizontal disposé à la même hauteur que la ligne à l'entrée de la station.The sliding carriage is advantageously a metal structure in the form of a frame having beams extending along transfer rail, which is fixed thereto, in particular by supports in the form of a swan neck. These supports also maintain the propulsion means, for example the friction wheels, driving the vehicles on the rail. The carriage is carried by one or more pillars, preferably central, extending in the vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the station and of the line and which carry fixed rollers for supporting and guiding the carriage. The rollers cooperate with beams or internal beams of the carriage which frame the pillars. Any other structure, in particular for hanging from the ceiling of a frame is of course usable. The pulley and the rail are preferably substantially in the same horizontal plane arranged at the same height as the line at the entrance to the station.

Il est clair que la station peut comporter un bâtiment de protection ou simplement des abris ou capots de protection de certaines parties.It is clear that the station may include a protective building or simply shelters or protective covers for certain parts.

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 lequels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une station selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une coupe suivant la ligne II-II de la fig. 1.
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 plan view of a station according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a section along line II-II of FIG. 1.

Sur les figures, un câble aérien 10 d'un télésiège monocâble, qui pourrait être une télécabine ou un transporteur analogue monocâble, passe dans la station sur une poulie 11 de renvoi, entraînée en rotation par un moteur 12. Les sièges 13 sont fixés à une pince 14 d'accouplement au câble 10, ayant un levier de commande 15 et des galets de roulement 16.In the figures, an overhead cable 10 of a single-cable chairlift, which could be a gondola or a similar single-cable transporter, passes through the station on a return pulley 11, driven in rotation by a motor 12. The seats 13 are fixed to a clamp 14 for coupling to the cable 10, having a control lever 15 and rollers 16.

A l'entrée de la station une rampe fixe de débrayage 17 désaccouple la pince 14 du câble 10, tandis que les galets 16 de la pince s'engagent sur un rail de transfert 18 qui contourne en demi-boucle la poulie 11. Le rail 18 s'étend jusqu'à la sortie de la station où une rampe fixe d'embrayage 19 accouple à nouveau la pince 14 au câble 10. Le long du rail 18 sont échelonnés des trains de roues à pneumatiques 20, qui entraînent par friction les pinces 14 pour déplacer les sièges 13 dans la station et éventuellement pour les freiner et les accélérer respectivement à l'entrée et à la sortie. Tout autre moyen d'entraînement, notamment par une chaîne est bien entendu utilisable. De tels télésièges débrayables ainsi que leur fonctionnement sont bien connus.At the entrance to the station, a fixed declutching ramp 17 uncouples the clamp 14 from the cable 10, while the rollers 16 of the clamp engage on a transfer rail 18 which bypasses half-loop the pulley 11. The rail 18 extends to the exit of the station where a fixed clutch ramp 19 again couples the clamp 14 to the cable 10. Along the rail 18 are staggered sets of wheels tires 20, which frictionally drive the clamps 14 to move the seats 13 in the station and possibly to brake and accelerate them respectively at the entry and exit. Any other drive means, in particular by a chain is of course usable. Such detachable chairlifts and their operation are well known.

Selon la présente invention, la poulie 11 à axe vertical est portée par un chariot allongé 21, monté à coulissement suivant l'axe longitudinal X-X de la station et de la ligne définie par le câble 10. Dans le mode de réalisation, représenté sur les figures, le chariot 21 comporte deux poutres internes supérieures 22 constituées par des profilés en I et formant un cadre rectangulaire prenant appui sur des galets 23 à axes horizontaux fixes perpendiculaires à l'axe X-X. Les semelles des profilés 22 roulent sur les galets 23 pour autoriser le coulissement du chariot 21 selon l'axe X-X de la station. Deux contre-poutres internes 24 en carré du chariot 21 coopèrent avec la face inférieure des galets 23 pour éviter tout basculement du chariot 21, lequel est guidé dans son déplacement par tout moyen approprié. Les galets 23 sont disposés de part et d'autre de piliers 25 ancrés au sol et disposés dans l'axe X-X de la station. Un vérin 26, intercalé entre un pilier 25 et le chariot 21, sollicite le chariot 21 en direction opposée de la ligne pour tendre le câble 10, mais tout autre dispositif de mise sous tension est utilisable. Les poutres internes 22, 24 sont solidarisées par des traverses 27 pour former un cadre rigide de support auquel sont fixées, par des poutrelles transversales 28, deux poutres externes 29 qui s'étendent parallèlement aux deux tronçons rectilignes longitudinaux du rail de transfert 18. Une poutre transversale 30 rectiligne ou incurvée et solidaire du chariot 21 s'étend le long de la partie arrière du rail de transfert 18. Le long des poutres externes 29 sont échelonnés des arceaux 31 en col de cygne qui sont ouverts vers le bas et chevauchent le rail de transfert 18 qui y est fixé par des entretoises 32. A ces arceaux 31 ou éventuellement aux poutres externes 29, 30 sont également fixés les rampes 17, 19 d'embrayage et de débrayage ainsi que les moyens de propulsion des sièges 13 sur le rail de transfert 18, en l'occurrence les roues de friction 20 avec leurs longerons de support 33 et leurs dispositifs d'entraînement non représentés. Les branches externes des arceaux 31 peuvent être reliées par une ceinture 34 pour constituer avec les arceaux 31 une armature de support d'un capot de protection, non représenté, du rail de transfert 18 et des moyens de propulsion associés. Les roues de friction 20 peuvent être entraînées par un moteur séparé porté par le chariot 21 ou de préférence par une prise de force sur le câble 10 ou la poulie 11. Le groupe moto-réducteur 12 d'entraînement de la poulie 11 est suspendu au chariot 21 en étant logé entre les piliers 25 pour participer à la stabilité de l'ensemble. Si la poulie de renvoi 11 n'est pas la poulie motrice, l'absence du groupe moto-réducteur 12 simplifie l'agencement de la station.According to the present invention, the pulley 11 with a vertical axis is carried by an elongated carriage 21, mounted to slide along the longitudinal axis XX of the station and of the line defined by the cable 10. In the embodiment, shown in the Figures, the carriage 21 has two upper internal beams 22 formed by I-sections and forming a rectangular frame supported on rollers 23 with fixed horizontal axes perpendicular to the axis XX. The flanges of the profiles 22 roll on the rollers 23 to allow the carriage 21 to slide along the axis XX of the station. Two internal counter-beams 24 in the square of the carriage 21 cooperate with the underside of the rollers 23 to avoid any tilting of the carriage 21, which is guided in its movement by any appropriate means. The rollers 23 are arranged on either side of pillars 25 anchored to the ground and arranged in the axis XX of the station. A jack 26, interposed between a pillar 25 and the carriage 21, biases the carriage 21 in the opposite direction of the line to tension the cable 10, but any other tensioning device can be used. The internal beams 22, 24 are joined by crosspieces 27 to form a rigid support frame to which are fixed, by transverse beams 28, two external beams 29 which extend parallel to the two rectilinear longitudinal sections of the transfer rail 18. A transverse beam 30 straight or curved and integral with the carriage 21 extends along the rear part of the transfer rail 18. Along the external beams 29 are staggered 31 swan neck hoops which are open downwards and overlap the transfer rail 18 which is fixed there by spacers 32. To these hoops 31 or possibly to the external beams 29, 30 are also fixed the ramps 17, 19 of clutch and disengage as well as the means of propulsion of the seats 13 on the transfer rail 18, in this case the friction wheels 20 with their support rails 33 and their drive devices not shown. The external branches of the arches 31 can be connected by a belt 34 to constitute with the arches 31 a support frame for a protective cover, not shown, the transfer rail 18 and associated propulsion means. The friction wheels 20 can be driven by a separate motor carried by the carriage 21 or preferably by a power take-off on the cable 10 or the pulley 11. The geared motor group 12 for driving the pulley 11 is suspended from the carriage 21 while being housed between the pillars 25 to participate in the stability of the assembly. If the return pulley 11 is not the driving pulley, the absence of the geared motor group 12 simplifies the arrangement of the station.

On voit que le chariot mobile 21 porte la poulie de tension 11, le rail de transfert 18, les rampes 17, 19 de débrayage et d'embrayage, le groupe moteur 12 et les moyens de propulsion 20 des sièges sur le rail 18.Tous ces éléments, qui sont les parties actives de la station, sont fixes les uns par rapport aux autres et leur position, notamment celle du rail de transfert 18 par rapport à la poulie 11, peut être parfaitement définie. L'ensemble se déplace comme un seul bloc le long de l'axe X-X pour compenser les variations de charge et la course de débattement dépend uniquement de la longueur du chariot 21. La longueur du rail de transfert 18 est déterminée uniquement par les longueurs des tronçons d'accélération et de décélération et celles des quais d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement, et cette longueur est indépendante de la course de débattement de la poulie 11.It can be seen that the mobile carriage 21 carries the tension pulley 11, the transfer rail 18, the declutching and clutching ramps 17, 19, the motor unit 12 and the means of propulsion 20 of the seats on the rail 18.All these elements, which are the active parts of the station, are fixed relative to each other and their position, in particular that of the transfer rail 18 relative to the pulley 11, can be perfectly defined. The assembly moves as a single unit along the axis XX to compensate for the load variations and the travel travel depends solely on the length of the carriage 21. The length of the transfer rail 18 is determined solely by the lengths of the acceleration and deceleration sections and those of the loading and / or unloading platforms, and this length is independent of the travel of the pulley 11.

La station peut être incorporée à un bâtiment, mais elle est conçue pour un emploi sans abri particulier. Il est clair que le chariot 21 peut être suspendu à une structure de support et que la poulie 11 peut être disposée sous le chariot 21, d'autres agencements étant concevables. Le chariot 21 peut également être équipé de roues pouvant rouler sur des rails fixes.The station can be incorporated into a building, but it is designed for use without special shelter. It is clear that the carriage 21 can be suspended from a support structure and the pulley 11 can be placed under the carriage 21, other arrangements being conceivable. The carriage 21 can also be fitted with wheels which can roll on fixed rails.

Les éléments de base de la station sont utilisables pour une station simplifiée, par exemple pour une installation à attaches fixes dont la station est démunie d'un rail de transfert et de dispositifs d'embrayage et de débrayage des pinces. Une telle station simplifiée est évidemment évolutive puisqu' elle peut être transformée facilement en station d'une installation à pinces débrayables par l'adjonction des éléments de prise en charge des véhicules débrayés du câble. Le client peut ainsi adapter son installation aux besoins réels sans modification excessive.The basic elements of the station can be used for a simplified station, for example for an installation with fixed attachments, the station of which is deprived of a transfer rail and of devices for clutching and disengaging the clamps. Such a simplified station is obviously scalable since it can be easily transformed into a station of an installation with disengageable clamps by the addition of elements for taking charge of vehicles disengaged from the cable. The customer can thus adapt his installation to real needs without excessive modification.
