Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is an improved chairlift at the station boarding. To do this, each seat, before arriving at the embarkation location, is oriented to facilitate boarding.
  • the state of the art can be defined by the document FR-A-2.614.858 which proposes a family of chair lifts, using single seaters are the buckets can be rotated relative to the hanger, while the railing tubes remain fixed, thus making it easier to embark and disembark passengers while ensuring the relative position of the railing with respect to the latter's locking bucket at the exit of the boarding area.
  • a set of ground guides in collaboration with a caster, a lug, a sliding pivot to stabilize the seats, orient the buckets and to lock the buckets.
  • each seat is sideways, i.e. the backrest is positioned inside the bypass turn.
  • the floor of the boarding station must be arranged to receive guide means, such as rails, and the means for pivoting the seats must be able to be locked when moving the seats between the departure stations and arrival.
  • This patent describes a chairlift that is not very usable. It is possible to make skiers walk in a straight line, but it is very tricky to make them make turns and especially when they are six front skiers. In this patent, two 30 ° turns are described and the seat of the chairlift is always in a straight line.
  • This patent describes a boarding platform which makes an S-shaped journey for passengers before boarding.
  • This cable transport installation (s), at least one of which is a tractor and is driven at a constant speed in a closed loop between two stations, and carrying a plurality of vehicles ensuring the transport proper comprises at each station an arrival lane equipped with a device for slowing down said vehicles to reduce their speed after declutching the cable (s), and a departure lane provided with a launching device for bringing vehicles at the speed of the cable or cables when they are engaged thereon at the station outlet.
  • Each station also includes a linear transfer device from the cabin from the arrival lane to the departure lane, transfer perpendicular to the axis of said tracks.
  • This patent describes an installation with cabins. there are no pedestrians or swivel seats .
  • This patent relates to a mechanical lift installation intended for air transport, between a so-called lower station and a so-called upper station of skiers keeping their skis at their feet at least in the “going” direction, characterized in that it comprises vehicles with lateral loading and unloading driven continuously along a closed loop guide and in which the skiers are supported with their skis arranged transversely to the trajectory of the vehicles.
  • This installation corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention aims to increase the speed of a chairlift by modifying the position of the seat in the area before boarding.
  • This modification consists of a rotation of the seat by an angle which allows the face frontal of the seat to approach a perpendicular to the queue of skiers.
  • the present invention relates to a boarding station for a continuous scrolling aerial cable transport chairlift, chairlift with several seats, at least one seat for taking into account person (s), coupled to the regular space cable in a fixed or disengageable manner, at the level of the boarding station, relative to said cable, each seat being taken into account by ramps successive, called arrival, bypass and departure, the arrival and departure ramps parallel, the bypass ramp has two turns, called upstream and downstream, separated by a straight transfer ramp, that the line of skiers is in line with the starting ramp.
  • the boarding station is characterized by the fact that a boarding location is located at the exit of the downstream turn, and the angle ( ⁇ ) between the arrival and transfer ramps, corresponding to the upstream turn, is acute and the angle ( ⁇ ) between the transfer and departure ramps, corresponding to the downstream turn, is obtuse.
  • the drive elements rotate each seat on itself at the transfer ramp before docking.
  • the drive elements rotate the seat in rotation by an angle ⁇ which allows the front face of the seat to approach a perpendicular to the queue, this position of the seat very significantly reduces the phenomenon of "sweeping" in the curves, which increases with the width of the seat.
  • the angle ⁇ of the upstream turn is understood between 35 and 55 °, and on the other hand, the angle ⁇ of the downstream turn is between 125 and 145 °.
  • the angle ⁇ of the upstream turn is 45 °
  • the angle ⁇ of the downstream turn is 135 °.
  • each seat is pivoted from 20 to 40 °, the front face of said seat orienting towards the inside of the turn formed by the arrival and bypass ramps and departure.
  • each seat is pivoted by 30 °, the front face of said seat being oriented towards the inside of the turn formed by the arrival, bypass and departure ramps.
  • the drive elements accelerate the seats.
  • the ratio between the speed of each seat at the boarding location and at the level of the transfer ramp is proportional to the angle ⁇ or ⁇ of the upstream turn or of the downstream turn.
  • the speed of the treadmill is noticeably identical to the speed of seats when cornering.
  • Figure 1 shows a top view of the seating path in an outline classic.
  • FIG. 2 represents a top view of the routing of the seats in a contour according to a first embodiment of the invention when the seat is at the level of the upstream turn.
  • FIG. 3 represents a view identical to FIG. 2, when the seat is at the level of the transfer ramp.
  • FIG. 4 represents a top view of the routing of the seats in a contour according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the boarding station 21 is entirely conventional style. She comprises a chairlift 22 provided with an overhead cable 23, on which are secured so disengageable of the seats 24 allowing the transport of people or skiers 25.
  • the arrows make it possible to distinguish the direction of movement of said seats 24.
  • the seats 24 coming from the landing station end at the arrival ramp 26 while the departure ramp 28 allows the seats 24 to be oriented towards this landing station generally located at altitude.
  • a boarding location 32 on which the skiers 25 take their places to be taken into account by one of the seats 24. These 25 are brought to this location 32 by treadmill 34.
  • each seat 24 has a movement which follows exactly the path which is defined by the overhead cable 23.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention is represented.
  • a boarding station 1 of a chairlift 2 which has an overhead cable 3.
  • This overhead cable 3 comprises at regular intervals seats 4 which are disengageable.
  • Each seat 4 allows the boarding of a certain number of skiers 5 who are six in number on the figures, this number being nonlimiting but representing a particularly interesting mode of production.
  • the duration between the passage of a first seat 4 and the following seat is 5.4 s.
  • bypass ramp 7 whose very specific structure will be described later.
  • bypass ramp 7 ends at the starting ramp 8 which is a ramp acceleration allowing the clamping of the grippers of each seat 4 and the re-speeding of each seat 4 to find the running speed of the overhead cable 3.
  • the whole invention resides in the shape of this bypass ramp 7 since there are two turns, one upstream 9, the other downstream 11, separated from each other by a transfer ramp 10.
  • the advantage of this invention lies in the fact that the two turns, upstream 9 and downstream 11, do not are not on the same level. They are offset so that the transfer ramp 10 is in the position of crosswise and not, conventionally, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the seats 4.
  • the angle ⁇ of the upstream turn 9 in projection horizontal of the lane before boarding is 45 °.
  • the angle ⁇ is therefore 135 °, ⁇ + ⁇ corresponding to 180 °.
  • the seat 4 then has a completely normal position.
  • the seat 4 has undergone a rotation of 30 °, which places its front face 13 at 15 ° compared to the queue of skiers 5.
  • the angle of 30 ° corresponds to the angle ⁇ between the longitudinal axis of the seat 4 and the perpendicular to the transfer ramp 10, that is to say to the longitudinal axis of said seat 4 having not .
  • the skiers 5 After opening the gates 15, the skiers 5 are supported by a conveyor belt 14 which travels at a constant speed, of the order of 1 m / s, which is identical to the speed of each seat 4, at boarding location 12 but also at bends upstream 9 and downstream 11.
  • the speed can be 1.4 m / s, the speed being relative to the angle ⁇ or to the angle ⁇ .
  • the two essential advantages of these two devices are, on the one hand, to allow the rotation of the seat 4 for a tangential docking limiting the sweeping phenomenon, and allowing the rapid opening of the gates 15 after the passage of said seat 4 preceding the skiers 5.
  • the invention fits into the volume of a so-called standard station.
  • the only modifications concern the speed variation in pre-embarkation dragging and the installation of a device allowing the rotation of the seat before and after boarding.
  • This device can be made from the seat hanger, the clamp or a parallel drag system.
  • This invention is particularly suitable for detachable installations with six places, but it can also be applied to fixed clamp installations, regardless of the capacity of the seats.
  • the row of skiers is stopped at the downstream end of the treadmill 14 ready for be carried by seat 4.
  • the speed of seat 4 has been reduced to 1 m / s.
  • a second row of skiers 5 is located behind the seat 4 on the treadmill 14, the speed is also 1 m / s.
  • the third row of skiers 5 approaches the closed gates 15.
  • the first row of skiers 5 is on board the seat 4 which is taken charged by the launcher.
  • the second row is ready to come out of the mat 14 and to position itself on boarding location 12.
  • the second seat 4 is then ready to pass in front of the gates which will open when the seat 4 is opposite the second door 15.
