Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Kabine oder eines Sessels einer Seilbahnanlage an einem Gehänge, welches an seinem unteren Ende mit einer Trageinrichtung ausgebildet ist, welche ein Traggestell für die Kabine oder den Sessel untergreift, wobei zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dem Traggestell mindestens ein Dämpfungselement in Form eines aufblasbaren Behälters angeordnet istThe subject invention relates to a device for fastening a cabin or an armchair of a cable car system to a hanger, which is formed at its lower end with a support device which engages under a support frame for the cabin or the armchair, at least one between the support device and the support frame Damping element is arranged in the form of an inflatable container

Bei bekannten derartigen Vorrichtungen ist am unteren Ende des Gehänges, welches insbesondere mittels einer Klemmeinrichtung an das Förderseil fest oder lösbar angeklemmt ist, eine Trageinrichtung angelenkt, welche z.B. mit vier Tragarmen ausgebildet ist, deren freie Enden von in der Kabine verankerten Bolzen durchsetzt sind. Dabei sind zur Erzielung einer elastisch dämpfenden Befestigung an den Tragarmen Hülsen vorgesehen, in welche zylinderförmige Dämpfungskörper eingesetzt sind, welche von den Bolzen durchsetzt sind, wobei an den oberen Enden der Bolzen Haltescheiben angeordnet sind.In known devices of this type, a carrying device is articulated at the lower end of the hanger, which is fixed or releasably clamped to the conveyor cable in particular by means of a clamping device, which e.g. is formed with four support arms, the free ends of which are penetrated by bolts anchored in the cabin. To achieve an elastically damping fastening sleeves are provided in which cylindrical damping bodies are inserted, which are penetrated by the bolts, with washers being arranged at the upper ends of the bolts.

Diese bekannten Befestigungsvorrichtungen entsprechen jedoch deshalb nicht den an sie gestellten Anforderungen, da infolge zu starker Kompression der Dämpfungskörper, weiters infolge der Alterung des Materials der Dämpfungskörper und infolge anderer Sachverhalte Stöße, welche durch die Bewegung der Klemmbacken über die Seilrollen verursacht werden, über das Gehänge auf die Kabine übertragen werden, wodurch auf diese beim Überfahren der Seilrollen eine Vielzahl von Stößen gelangt. Hierdurch werden zudem Schwingungen des Seiles und lärmende Geräusche bedingt.However, these known fastening devices do not meet the requirements placed on them, because due to excessive compression of the damping body, further due to the aging of the material of the damping body and due to other circumstances, shocks, which are caused by the movement of the jaws over the rope pulleys, on the hangers are transmitted to the cabin, causing a large number of impacts on the cabin when it is passed over the rope pulleys. This also causes vibrations of the rope and noisy noises.

Diesen nachteiligen Effekten kommt deshalb steigende Bedeutung zu, da bei Seilbahnanlagen zur Vergrößerung der Förderleistung die Fahrgeschwindigkeiten immer mehr erhöht werden, wodurch die beim Überfahren von Rollenbatterien verursachten Stöße verstärkt werden. Demgegenüber wird jedoch von den Passagieren ein erhöhter Komfort erwartet.These disadvantageous effects are therefore of increasing importance, since in cable car systems to increase the conveying capacity, the driving speeds are increased more and more, as a result of which the shocks caused when rolling over roller batteries are increased. On the other hand, passengers are expected to be more comfortable.

Ein anderer Nachteil bekannter Vorrichtungen besteht darin, daß bei der Befestigung der Kabine am Gehänge aus Gründen der Festigkeit sich die Befestigungsbolzen in den Randbereichen des Daches der Kabine befinden müssen. Demgegenüber sollte jedoch zur Vermeidung von Drehmomenten, welche von der Kabine auf das Gehänge ausgeübt werden, die Befestigung des Gehänges im mittleren Bereich des Daches der Kabine angeordnet sein. Um das Auftreten vom Drehmomenten auf das Gehänge zu vermeiden, ist es deshalb bei bekannten Befestigungsvorrichtungen erforderlich, zwischen dem Gehänge und der Trageinrichtung ein Gelenk anzuordnen.Another disadvantage of known devices is that when fastening the cabin to the hanger, for reasons of strength, the fastening bolts must be located in the edge regions of the roof of the cabin. In contrast, however, in order to avoid torques which are exerted by the cabin on the hanger, the attachment of the hanger should be arranged in the central region of the roof of the cabin. In order to avoid the occurrence of torque on the hanger, it is therefore necessary in known fastening devices to arrange a joint between the hanger and the carrying device.

In der EP-A 015 205 ist eine Vorrichtung zum elastischen Aufhängen einer Seilbahnkabine geoffenbart, welche Vorrichtung durch ein zwischen einer am Gehänge befestigten Trageinrichtung und einem mit einer Kabine verbundenen Traggestell angeordneten Dämpfungselement in Form eines aufblasbaren Reifens gebildet ist. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung ist jedoch deshalb nicht den Erfordernissen entsprechend, da bei einer Fehlfunktion des Dämpfungselementes, z.B. bei einem Austritt der Luft aus diesem infolge einer Beschädigung, die angestrebte Dämpfungswirkung nicht gewährleistet wird. Zudem handelt es sich bei diesem Dämpfungselement um ein solches, welches für diesen bestimmten Anwendungszweck gesondert angefertigt werden muß.EP-A 015 205 discloses a device for the elastic suspension of a cable car cabin, which device is formed by a damping element in the form of an inflatable tire which is arranged between a support device attached to the suspension and a support frame connected to a cabin. However, this known device does not meet the requirements, because if the damping element malfunctions, e.g. if the air escapes as a result of damage, the desired damping effect is not guaranteed. In addition, this damping element is one which has to be manufactured separately for this specific application.

Demgegenüber liegen der gegenständlichen Erfindung die Aufgaben zugrunde, eine Dämpfungsvorrichtung zu schaffen, durch welche auch bei erhöhter Fahrgeschwindigkeit die angestrebte ruhige Bewegung der Kabine oder des Sessels gewährleistet ist, welche eine Aufhängung der Kabine oder des Sessels am Gehänge ohne ein zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dem Traggestell befindliches Gelenk ermöglicht, welche deshalb in einfacher Weise gefertigt werden kann, da sie aus handelsüblichen Einrichtungen besteht und welche auch bei Ausfall eines Teiles der Einrichtungen funktionsfähig ist. Diese dem bekannten Stand der Technik anhaftenden Nachteile werden erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung mit der Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 VermiedenIn contrast, the object of the present invention is to provide a damping device by which the desired quiet movement of the cabin or the armchair is guaranteed, even with increased driving speed, which a suspension of the cabin or of the chair on the hanger without a joint located between the support device and the support frame, which can therefore be manufactured in a simple manner, since it consists of commercially available devices and which is functional even if a part of the devices fails. According to the invention, these disadvantages inherent in the known prior art are avoided by a device having the features of claim 1

Da somit die Dämpfungseinrichtungen aus handelsüblichen Bauteilen, nämlich aus Gasfedern oder Luftfedern, bestehen, kann diese Vorrichtung in einfacher Weise hergestellt werden. Da weiters zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dem Traggestell mindestens zwei Gasfedern oder Luftfedern vorgesehen sind, ist die angestrebte Dämpfungswirkung auch dann zumindest teilweise gewährleistet, wenn infolge einer Fehlfunktion eine derselben ausfällt.Since the damping devices thus consist of commercially available components, namely gas springs or air springs, this device can be manufactured in a simple manner. Furthermore, since at least two gas springs or air springs are provided between the support device and the support frame, the desired damping effect is also at least partially ensured if one of them fails as a result of a malfunction.

Weiterhin kann die Trageinrichtung zwei mit der Gehängestange verbundene Konsolen aufweisen, an welchen die Tragschienen befestigt sind und kann das Traggestell durch zwei parallele Schienen und zwei zu diesen quer verlaufende Schienen, an deren freien Enden die Kabine oder der Sessel befestigt ist, gebildet sein.Furthermore, the support device can have two brackets connected to the hanger rod, to which the support rails are fastened, and the support frame can be formed by two parallel rails and two rails running transversely thereto, on the free ends of which the cabin or the armchair is fastened.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Kabine oder der Sessel an das Traggestell mittels mehrerer angenähert horizontal ausgerichteter Bolzen angelenkt, wodurch sie gegenüber diesem verschwenkbar ist. Dabei kann das Traggestell in seinem äußeren Bereich mit nach unten abragenden Laschen ausgebildet sein, welche von Tragbolzen für die Kabine durchsetzt sind.According to a further preferred embodiment, the cabin or the armchair is articulated to the support frame by means of a plurality of approximately horizontally aligned bolts, as a result of which it can be pivoted relative to the latter. The support frame can be down in its outer area protruding tabs are formed, which are penetrated by support bolts for the cabin.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Traggestell mit einer dachartige verlaufenden Wand ausgebildet, wobei die Luft- bzw. Gasfedern zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dieser Wand angeordnet sind. Weiters kann das Traggestell mit zwei voneinander im vertikalen Abstand angeordneten Wänden ausgebildet sein, zwischen welchen die Trageinrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei jeweils oberhalb und unterhalb der Trageinrichtung Luft- bzw. Gasfedern angeordnet sind. Weiters können die Luft- bzw. Gasfedern mittels Leitungen miteinander und mit einer zentralen Druckmittelversorgung verbunden sein.According to a further preferred embodiment, the support frame is formed with a roof-like wall, the air or gas springs being arranged between the support device and this wall. Furthermore, the support frame can be formed with two walls arranged at a vertical distance from one another, between which the support device is arranged, air and gas springs being arranged above and below the support device. Furthermore, the air or gas springs can be connected to one another and to a central pressure medium supply by means of lines.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dem Traggestell mindestens eine zusätzliche mechanische Dämpfungseinrichtung vorgesehen, welche insbesondere durch Gummipuffer und eine Zugstange gebildet ist.According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one additional mechanical damping device is provided between the support device and the support frame, which is formed in particular by rubber buffers and a pull rod.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, ist am unteren Ende einer Gehängestange 1 mittels einer Vorrichtung 2 und 3 eine Kabine 5 befestigt. Am oberen Ende der Gehängestange 1 sind ein Klemmkörper 11, mittels einer Stellrolle 12 verstellbare Klemmbacken 13 und Laufrollen 14 eines Laufwerkes angeordnet. Mittels der Klemmbacken 13 kann die Gehängestange 1 an ein Förderseil angekuppelt werden.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, a cabin 5 is attached to the lower end of a hanger bar 1 by means of a device 2 and 3. At the upper end of the hanger rod 1, a clamping body 11, by means of an adjusting roller 12 adjustable clamping jaws 13 and rollers 14 of a running gear are arranged. The hanger bar 1 can be coupled to a conveyor cable by means of the clamping jaws 13.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung besteht aus einer am unteren Ende der Gehängestange 1 angeordneten Trageinrichtung 2 und einem am Dach 52 der Kabine 5 befestigten Traggestell 3. Wie weiters aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, besteht die Trageinrichtung 2 aus zwei in Förderrichtung A der Kabine 5 ausgerichteten Schienen 21 und zwei dazu quer verlaufenden Konsolen 22, welche mit den Seitenflächen der Gehängestange 1 starr verbunden sind. Das Traggestell 3 besteht ebenfalls aus zwei in Förderrichtung A der Kabine 5 verlaufenden Schienen 31, welche durch zwei dazu quer ausgerichtete Schienen 32 verbunden sind. Das Traggestell 3 ist mit der Kabine 5 dadurch verbunden, daß an den freien Enden der Schienen 31 Bolzen 51 vorgesehen sind, welche im Dach 52 der Kabine 5 verankert sind. Zwischen der Trageinrichtung 2 und dem Traggestell 3 sind Luft- bzw. Gasfedern 4 angeordnet, welche sich zwischen den freien Enden der Schienen 21 der Trageinrichtung 2 und den Schienen 32 des Traggestells 3 befinden.The fastening device consists of a support device 2 arranged at the lower end of the hanger rod 1 and a support frame 3 attached to the roof 52 of the cabin 5. As can also be seen from FIG. 3, the support device 2 consists of two rails 21 aligned in the conveying direction A of the cabin 5 and two brackets 22 extending transversely thereto, which are rigidly connected to the side surfaces of the hanger bar 1. The support frame 3 also consists of two rails 31 running in the conveying direction A of the cabin 5, which are connected by two rails 32 oriented transversely thereto. The support frame 3 is connected to the cabin 5 in that at the free ends of the rails 31 bolts 51 are provided which are anchored in the roof 52 of the cabin 5. Air or gas springs 4 are arranged between the support device 2 and the support frame 3 and are located between the free ends of the rails 21 of the support device 2 and the rails 32 of the support frame 3.

Dadurch, daß sich die Befestigung der Kabine 5 am Traggestell 3 und die Befestigung des Traggestells 3 an der Trageinrichtung 2 an voneinander getrennten Stellen befinden, wird in einfacher Weise den Forderungen einer stabilen Befestigung der Kabine 5 und der Vermeidung von auf die Gehängestange 1 ausgeübten Drehmomenten entsprochen. Zudem wird durch die Anordnung von Luft- bzw. Gasfedern 4 zwischen dem Traggestell 3 und der Trageinrichtung 2 eine optimal gefederte Befestigung der Kabine 5 erzielt, wodurch die bei der Bewegung der Seilklemmen über die Seilrollen verursachten Stöße auf die Kabine 5 nicht übertragen werden, sodaß diese weit geringeren mechanischen Belastungen unterworfen ist. Zudem wird hierdurch die Übertragung von Geräuschen gedämpft.Characterized in that the attachment of the cabin 5 to the support frame 3 and the attachment of the support frame 3 to the support device 2 are at separate locations, the requirements of a stable attachment of the cabin 5 and the avoidance of torque exerted on the hanger rod 1 are easily met met. In addition, the arrangement of air or gas springs 4 between the support frame 3 and the support device 2 achieves an optimally sprung attachment of the cabin 5, as a result of which the shocks caused by the movement of the rope clamps via the rope pulleys are not transmitted to the cabin 5, so that it is subject to far lower mechanical loads. This also dampens the transmission of noise.

In Fig. 4 ist eine andere Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung dargestellt. Dabei ist das Traggestell 3 an seinen freien Enden mit Laschen 34 ausgebildet, welche jeweils mit einer Bohrung versehen sind, und ragen vom Dach 52 der Kabine 5 gleichfalls mit jeweils einer Bohrung versehene Laschen 54 ab, wobei die Bohrungen der Laschen 34 und 54 von Gelenkbolzen 35 durchsetzt sind. Hierdurch ist die Kabine 5 gegenüber dem Traggestell 3 geringfügig verschwenkbar.4 shows another embodiment of a fastening device according to the invention. The support frame 3 is formed at its free ends with tabs 34, each of which is provided with a hole, and also protrude from the roof 52 of the cabin 5, each with tabs 54 provided with a hole, the holes of the tabs 34 and 54 being articulated 35 are enforced. As a result, the cabin 5 can be pivoted slightly relative to the supporting frame 3.

Das mit einer dachartigen Wand 36 ausgebildete Traggestell 3 ist von der Gehängestange 1 durchsetzt, an welcher die Trageinrichtung 2 befestigt ist. Zwischen den freien Enden oder dem Außenrand der Trageinrichtung 2 und der Wand 36 des Traggestelles 3 sind mehrere Luftfedern 4 angeordnet. Die Luftfedern 4 sind mittels Leitungen 41 miteinander und mit einer zentralen Luftversorgung verbunden. Hierdurch kann der in den Luftfedern 4 herrschende Druck den Erfordernissen entsprechend gesteuert werden. Die Achse der Luftfedern 4 schließt dabei mit der Achse der Gehängestange 1 einen kleinen spitzen Winkel ein.The support frame 3 formed with a roof-like wall 36 is penetrated by the hanger rod 1 to which the support device 2 is attached. A plurality of air springs 4 are arranged between the free ends or the outer edge of the support device 2 and the wall 36 of the support frame 3. The air springs 4 are connected to one another and to a central air supply by means of lines 41. As a result, the pressure prevailing in the air springs 4 can be controlled as required. The axis of the air springs 4 includes a small acute angle with the axis of the hanger rod 1.

Zudem sind zwischen der Trageinrichtung 2 und dem Traggestell 3 zusätzliche mechanische Dämpfungseinrichtungen 6 vorgesehen, welche in Fig. 5 dargestellt sind. Diese bestehen aus einem an der Unterseite der Wand 36 angeordneten, nach unten offenen Gehäuse 61 mit einem Gummipuffer 62, einer Zugstange 63 und einem an der Trageinrichtung 2 angeordneten Gehäuse 64 mit einem Gummipuffer 65. Der obere Gummipuffer 62 ragt vom Gehäuse 61 nach unten ab und der untere Gummipuffer 65 ragt von einer Wand des Gehäuses 64 nach unten ab. die Zugstange 63 ist im Gehäuse 61 verankert, umgibt den oberen Gummipuffer 62 und liegt an den unteren Gummipuffer 65 an. Durch diese mechanischen Dämpfungseinrichtungen 6 werden Bewegungen, welche die Trageinrichtung 2 gegenüber dem Traggestell 3 ausführt, dadurch begrenzt, daß entweder der obere Gummipuffer 62 an das untere Gehäuse 64 zur Anlage kommt oder daß die Auseinanderbewegung der Trageinrichtung 2 und des Traggestells 3 voneinander durch die Zugstange 63 begrenzt wird.In addition, additional mechanical damping devices 6, which are shown in FIG. 5, are provided between the carrying device 2 and the carrying frame 3. These consist of a housing 61 arranged on the underside of the wall 36 and open at the bottom with a rubber buffer 62, a pull rod 63 and a housing 64 arranged on the support device 2 with a rubber buffer 65. The upper rubber buffer 62 projects downward from the housing 61 and the lower rubber buffer 65 protrudes downward from a wall of the housing 64. the pull rod 63 is anchored in the housing 61, surrounds the upper rubber buffer 62 and abuts the lower rubber buffer 65. Through these mechanical damping devices 6 movements that the support device 2 executes relative to the support frame 3 are limited in that either the upper rubber buffer 62 comes into contact with the lower housing 64 or that the movement apart of the support device 2 and the support frame 3 from one another is limited by the pull rod 63.

In Fig. 6 ist eine Ausführungsvariante dargestellt, bei welcher das Traggestell 3 zusätzlich zur dachartig ausgebildeten Wand 36 eine untere, ebene Wand 37 aufweist, wobei zwischen der Trageinrichtung 2 und der Wand 36 eine erste Gruppe von Luftfedern 4 und zwischen der Trageinrichtung 2 und der Wand 37 eine zweite Gruppe von Luftfedern 4 vorgesehen ist. Hierdurch wird eine weitere Verbesserung in der Dämpfungswirkung erzielt.6 shows an embodiment variant in which the support frame 3 has, in addition to the roof-like wall 36, a lower, flat wall 37, a first group of air springs 4 between the support device 2 and the wall 36 and between the support device 2 and the Wall 37 a second group of air springs 4 is provided. This results in a further improvement in the damping effect.

Anstelle der Luftfedern können auch Gasfedern vorgesehen sein. Durch die zwischen der Trageinrichtung und dem Traggestell vorgesehenen Dämpfungselemente wird die Übertragung von Stößen und Geräuschen von der Klemmeinrichtung über die Gehängestange auf die Kabine vermieden.Instead of the air springs, gas springs can also be provided. The damping elements provided between the support device and the support frame prevent the transmission of impacts and noise from the clamping device via the hanger rod to the cabin.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung zur Aufhängung von Kabinen oder Sesseln kann bei beliebigen Arten von Seilbahnen angewendet werden. So kann z.B. das Gehänge an das Tragseil fest angeklemmt sein oder können die Klemmen in den Stationen vom Tragseil lösbar sein. Zudem kann das Gehänge mit einem Laufwerk ausgebildet sein, wodurch das vom Tragseil entkuppelte Gehänge mit der Kabine in den Stationen längs Schienen verfahrbar ist oder das Gehänge mit der Kabine längs eines Tragseiles verfahrbar ist.Such a device for suspending cabins or armchairs can be used with any type of cable car. For example, the hanger is firmly clamped to the suspension cable or the clamps in the stations can be detached from the suspension cable. In addition, the hanger can be designed with a running gear, as a result of which the hanger, uncoupled from the suspension cable, can be moved along rails along with the cabin in the stations, or the hanger can be moved along the suspension cable with the cabin.
