Abstract

The cable car friction drive wheels (10) are spaced at regular intervals on a support beam (20) located above a station transfer rail. The cable car is coupled to a cable (12) from which it is uncoupled at entry to the station to run on rollers along the transfer rail. The cable movement, continuing to drive the friction wheels on the transfer rail, is maintained and driven by a module (19) on a cable support roller (17). The module is arranged as a caisson (21) inserted in the wheel train support beam. It comprises two axles (23,28) connected by gearing. One of the axles carries a friction wheel and the other a transmission pulley (29) for the belt transmission to the cable support.

Description

L'invention est relative à un téléporteur, notamment une télécabine ou un télésiège débrayable, ayant une poutre de support d'un train de roues de friction, échelonnées à intervalle régulier et coopérant avec le dessus d'une traverse pour déplacer les cabines ou les sièges, débrayés du câble, le long d'un rail de transfert dans la station et un dispositif de prise de mouvement sur un galet de support du câble pour l'entraínement en rotation des roues de friction.The invention relates to a teleporter, in particular a gondola or detachable chairlift, with a beam of support of a train of friction wheels, staggered at regular interval and cooperating with the top of a sleeper to move the cabins or seats, disengaged from the cable, the along a transfer rail in the station and a device power take-off on a cable support roller for the rotational drive of the friction wheels.

Un téléporteur du genre mentionné, appelé par la suite télésiège, présente l'avantage d'une grande simplicité, puisque le même moteur entraíne le câble et les roues de friction et assure ainsi automatiquement un synchronisme des déplacements en ligne et en station des sièges. Les galets de support du câble sont entraínés en rotation par le câble et cette rotation est transmise par une courroie à une poulie calée sur l'axe d'une roue de friction. La transmission de mouvement d'une poulie à l'autre est également réalisée par des courroies, généralement du type cranté ou trapézoïdal. Sur les sections de décélération et d'accélération des sièges, les diamètres des poulies augmentent ou diminuent progressivement pour obtenir des vitesses de déplacement croissantes ou décroissantes le long de ces sections. Les sièges se déplacent bien entendu dans la direction de défilement du câble et les roues de friction tournent donc en sens inverse du galet de support du câble. L'inversion du sens de rotation nécessite l'emploi d'une courroie à double face et des galets additionnels de renvoi de cette courroie, ce qui complique et renchérit l'installation.A teleporter of the kind mentioned, later called chairlift, has the advantage of great simplicity, since the same motor drives the cable and the friction wheels and thus automatically ensures synchronization of movements online and at seat stations. The support rollers from cable are rotated by the cable and this rotation is transmitted by a belt to a pulley wedged on the axis a friction wheel. The motion transmission of a pulley to the other is also carried out by belts, generally of the notched or trapezoidal type. On the sections of seat deceleration and acceleration, the diameters of pulleys gradually increase or decrease to obtain increasing or decreasing travel speeds the along these sections. The seats of course move in cable run direction and friction wheels therefore rotate in the opposite direction of the cable support roller. Reversing the direction of rotation requires the use of a double-sided belt and additional idler rollers this belt, which complicates and makes installation more expensive.

La présente invention a pour but de permettre la réalisation d'une prise de mouvement simple et fiable.The present invention aims to allow the realization a simple and reliable power take-off.

Le téléporteur selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le dispositif de prise de mouvement est agencé en un module, associé à l'une des roues de friction et solidaire de la poutre, et que le module comporte une poulie d'entraínement et un engrenage de transmission de mouvement entre la poulie et la roue de friction, réalisant une inversion du sens de rotation.The teleporter according to the invention is characterized in that the power take-off device is arranged in a module, associated with one of the friction wheels and secured to the beam, and that the module includes a drive pulley and a motion transmission gear between the pulley and the friction wheel, reversing the direction of rotation.

L'inversion du sens de rotation est réalisée par l'engrenage et la poulie d'entraínement est reliée par une courroie standard au galet de support qui tourne dans le même sens.The direction of rotation is reversed by the gear and the drive pulley is connected by a standard belt to the support roller which rotates in the same direction.

Le module de prise de mouvement est avantageusement en forme de tronçon de poutre en caisson, pouvant être intercalé dans la poutre de support des trains de roues et la longueur de ce tronçon correspond ou est un multiple du pas des trains de roues. L'engrenage est incorporé dans le module, l'axe de l'une des roues dentées portant la roue de friction et l'axe de l'autre roue dentée portant la poulie de la transmission à courroie du galet de support. Le module de prise de mouvement est relié aux roues de friction adjacentes par des courroies, de la manière usuelle. Dans le cas d'un module double à deux roues de friction ou de deux modules accolés, dont chaque roue de friction est entraínée par un galet de support associé, les deux modules peuvent être interconnectés, par exemple par une courroie, pour conserver la continuité de la transmission d'une roue de friction à l'autre ou l'un des modules peut entraíner les roues de friction d'un côté et l'autre module les roues de friction de l'autre côté, en conservant la possibilité d'une interconnexion de secours. Les roues de friction coopèrent généralement avec une traverse disposée au-dessus de la pince et l'axe de la poulie d'entraínement du module, disposée au-dessus du câble, est alors de préférence à l'aplomb du galet de support avec lequel il est relié par une courroie. Les courroies et les poulies sont logées d'un côté de la poutre, tandis que les roues de friction sont du côté opposé, ce qui simplifie la structure d'ensemble.The power take-off module is advantageously in the form of section of box beam, which can be inserted in the support beam of the wheel sets and the length of this section corresponds to or is a multiple of the pitch of the trains wheels. The gear is incorporated in the module, the axis of one cogwheels carrying the friction wheel and the axis of the other toothed wheel carrying the pulley of the transmission to support roller belt. The power take-off module is connected to the adjacent friction wheels by belts, in the usual way. In the case of a double module for two friction wheels or two attached modules, each wheel friction is driven by an associated support roller, the two modules can be interconnected, for example by a belt, to maintain the continuity of the transmission of a friction wheel to the other or one of the modules can drive the friction wheels on one side and the other modulates the wheels of friction on the other side, retaining the possibility of emergency interconnection. Friction wheels cooperate generally with a crosspiece arranged above the clamp and the axis of the module drive pulley, arranged above of the cable, is then preferably plumb with the roller support with which it is connected by a strap. The belts and pulleys are housed on one side of the beam, while the friction wheels are on the opposite side, which simplifies the overall structure.

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 et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un dispositif de propulsion de sièges sur une voie de transfert d'une station d'un téléporteur selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue, à échelle agrandie, de la figure 1, illustrant les modules de prise de mouvement;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en élévation des modules de prise de mouvement selon la figure 2;
  • la figure 4 est une coupe suivant la ligne 4-4 de la figure 3.
    • Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows of an embodiment of the invention given by way of example and shown in the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a seat propulsion device on a transfer path of a station of a teleporter according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a view, on an enlarged scale, of Figure 1, illustrating the power take-off modules;
  • Figure 3 is an elevational view of the power take-off modules according to Figure 2;

    • Sur les figures un train de roues de friction 10 est associé à un rail de transfert 11 en demi-boucle, d'une station d'un téléporteur débrayable à câble porteur-tracteur 12, appelé télésiège par la suite. Les sièges, accouplés au câble 12 en ligne par des pinces 13, sont désaccouplés de celui-ci à l'entrée de la station, par ouverture de la pince 13, laquelle roule ensuite par des galets de roulement 14 sur le rail 11, avant d'être réaccouplée au câble à la sortie de la station. La pince 13 porte une traverse 15 d'entraínement , qui coopère avec les roues de friction 10 pour propulser le siège sur le rail 11. Les roues de friction 10 sont échelonnées à intervalle régulier le long d'une poutre 20, située au-dessus du rail 11 et elles sont reliées entre elles par des transmissions à courroies 16, qui transmettent le mouvement de rotation d'une roue à l'autre. Le câble 12 est supporté par des galets de support 17, qu'il entraíne en rotation et ce mouvement est transmis aux roues de friction 10. A l'entrée de la station les roues de friction 10 tournent à des vitesses différentes, décroissantes, pour ralentir les sièges, tandis qu'à la sortie ces vitesses augmentent progressivement pour accélérer les sièges. Cette diminution ou augmentation des vitesses est obtenue par l'emploi de poulies de diamètre croissant ou décroissant dans les transmissions à courroie 16. Dans la station la vitesse des roues de friction 10 est uniforme et sur les tronçons courbes 18 les transmissions à courroie 16 sont avantageusement remplacées par des roues dentées coniques. De tels télésièges sont bien connus et il est inutile de les décrire plus en détail. In the figures, a train of friction wheels 10 is associated with a transfer rail 11 in half-loop, from a station of detachable teleporter with a carrying cable-tractor 12, called chairlift thereafter. Seats, coupled to cable 12 in line by clamps 13, are uncoupled from it to the entrance to the station, by opening the clamp 13, which then rolls by rollers 14 on the rail 11, before being re-coupled to the cable at the station outlet. The clamp 13 carries a cross member 15 of drive, which cooperates with friction wheels 10 to propel the seat onto the rail 11. The friction wheels 10 are staggered at intervals regular along a beam 20, located above the rail 11 and they are linked together by transmissions to belts 16, which transmit the rotational movement of a wheel to another. Cable 12 is supported by rollers support 17, that it rotates and this movement is transmitted to the friction wheels 10. At the entrance to the station the friction wheels 10 rotate at different speeds, decreasing, to slow the seats, while exiting these speeds gradually increase to accelerate seats. This decrease or increase in speeds is obtained by the use of pulleys of increasing diameter or decreasing in belt drives 16. In the station the speed of the friction wheels 10 is uniform and on the curved sections 18 the belt transmissions 16 are advantageously replaced by bevel gears. Of such chairlifts are well known and needless to mention describe in more detail.

    En se référant plus particulièrement aux figures 2-4 deux modules 19 de prise de mouvement sont intercalés, l'un après l'autre, entre deux tronçons de la poutre 20. Les deux modules 19 sont identiques et seul l'un est décrit par la suite, les éléments de l'autre portant les mêmes numéros de repère affectés d'un indice. Le module de prise de mouvement 19 comprend un élément de poutre en caisson 21, dont la longueur 1 est égale au pas du train de roues de friction 10. Le caisson 21 est rigidement solidarisé par des brides 22 aux tronçons de poutre 20 adjacents. Sur le caisson 21 est monté à rotation un premier axe transversal 23, faisant saillie de part et d'autre du caisson 21 et dont l'une des extrémités porte la roue de friction 10 et l'autre extrémité porte une première poulie 24 et une deuxième poulie 25, espacées le long de l'axe. Sur ce premier axe 23 est calée, à l'intérieur du caisson 21, une roue dentée 26 droite, qui engrène avec une autre roue dentée 27, portée à l'intérieur du caisson 21, par un deuxième axe transversal 28, monté à rotation sur ce caisson 21 et faisant saillie du côté opposé aux roues de friction 10. Cette extrémité en saillie porte une poulie d'entraínement 29 reliée par une courroie 30 à une poulie 31 solidaire en rotation du galet de support 17 du câble 12. Sur la figure 3 on voit que le galet de support 17, entraíné par le câble 12, tourne dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, indiqué par une flèche et qu'il entraíne, par la courroie 30 et les roues dentées 26,27, la roue de friction 10 dans le sens opposé, correspondant au sens de défilement du câble 12, de façon à propulser correctement le siège. La transmission entre le galet de support 17 et le module 19 nécessite une simple courroie 30 et l'inversion du sens de rotation résulte des roues dentées 26,27. La rotation de la roue de friction 10 du module 19 est transmise de la manière usuelle à la roue de friction 10 adjacente, en l'occurrence à gauche sur la figure 2, par une transmission à courroie 16 coopérant avec la première poulie 24 du premier axe 23. Le module 19 fournit ainsi la force d'entraínement du train de roues 10, à sa gauche sur la figure 3. Il est concevable d'entraíner par le même module 19 les autres roues de friction 10, en utilisant, par exemple, la deuxième poulie 25 pour une transmission par courroie vers la roue de friction 10 à droite du module 19. Dans le mode de mise en oeuvre préférentiel, illustré par les figures, le train de roues de friction 10, disposé à droite su la figure 3, est entraíné en rotation par un deuxième module 19', accolé au premier module 19 et coopérant avec un deuxième galet de support 17'. Le fonctionnement de ce deuxième module est bien entendu identique à celui du premier module 19 et dans cette réalisation il est avantageux de relier par une courroie 32 les deuxièmes poulies 25,25' des deux modules 19,19', pour confirmer le synchronisme de rotation et pallier une défaillance de l'un des entraínements. L'engrenage 26,27 permet une démultiplication ou une multiplication , qui s'ajoute à celle obtenue par les transmissions à courroies et de ce fait une possibilité d'adaptation à différents types d'installation. Le module de prise de mouvement utilise des éléments standard et il s'intègre sans modification au train de roues de friction. Le module de prise de mouvement s'inscrit dans le gabarit en largeur de la poutre, mais il est possible de faire usage d'un caisson plus large ou de dimensions différentes de celle de la poutre et éventuellement de disposer les roues dentées 26,27 à l'extérieur du caisson. Il est évident que les deux modules 19,19' peuvent être groupés en un seul bloc, de longueur double. La poulie du module de prise de mouvement est de préférence disposée à l'aplomb du galet de support du câble, afin de limiter la longueur de la courroie.With particular reference to Figures 2-4 two PTO modules 19 are interposed, one after the other, between two sections of beam 20. The two modules 19 are identical and only one is described below, the elements of the other bearing the same reference numbers affected by an index. The power take-off module 19 comprises a box beam element 21, the length of which 1 is equal to the pitch of the friction wheel set 10. The box 21 is rigidly secured by flanges 22 to the sections of adjacent beam 20. On the casing 21 is rotatably mounted a first transverse axis 23, projecting on either side of the box 21 and one end of which carries the wheel friction 10 and the other end carries a first pulley 24 and a second pulley 25, spaced along the axis. So first axis 23 is wedged, inside the box 21, a wheel gear 26 right, which meshes with another gear 27, carried inside the box 21, by a second axis transverse 28, rotatably mounted on this box 21 and making projecting from the side opposite to the friction wheels 10. This projecting end carries a drive pulley 29 connected by a belt 30 to a pulley 31 integral in rotation with the support roller 17 of the cable 12. In FIG. 3 it can be seen that the support roller 17, driven by the cable 12, rotates in the clockwise, indicated by an arrow and that it drives, by the belt 30 and the gears 26,27, the friction wheel 10 in the opposite direction, corresponding to the direction of travel of the cable 12, so as to propel the seat correctly. The transmission between the roller of support 17 and module 19 requires a simple belt 30 and the reversal of the direction of rotation results from the gears 26.27. The rotation of the friction wheel 10 of the module 19 is transmitted in the usual way to the friction wheel 10 adjacent, in this case to the left in Figure 2, by a belt transmission 16 cooperating with the first pulley 24 of the first axis 23. The module 19 thus provides the force wheel train 10, to its left in the figure 3. It is conceivable to train by the same module 19 the other friction wheels 10, using, for example, the second pulley 25 for belt transmission to the friction wheel 10 to the right of module 19. In the setting mode in preferential work, illustrated by the figures, the train of friction wheels 10, arranged to the right of Figure 3, is rotated by a second module 19 ', attached to the first module 19 and cooperating with a second roller support 17 '. The functioning of this second module is good heard identical to that of the first module 19 and in this realization it is advantageous to connect by a belt 32 the second 25.25 'pulleys of the two 19.19' modules, for confirm the synchronism of rotation and overcome a failure of one of the drives. The gear 26.27 allows a multiplication or multiplication, which is added to that obtained by belt transmissions and therefore a possibility of adaptation to different types of installation. The power take-off module uses standard elements and it fits without modification to the wheelset of friction. The power take-off module is part of the width gauge of the beam, but it is possible to make use of a larger box or of dimensions different from that of the beam and possibly to arrange the wheels teeth 26,27 on the outside of the box. It is obvious that the two 19,19 'modules can be grouped in a single block, double length. The PTO module pulley is preferably arranged directly above the cable support roller, to limit the length of the belt.
