Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation allowing the movement of vehicles towed by cable comprising two or more stations, vehicles traveling on at least one lane between stations.
  • the invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to automatic passenger transport systems.
  • Zurich Airport has a facility for moving cable towed vehicles with two stations. Both stations are connected by two separate and distant paths from each other. Each way is associated with a towing cable mounted in closed loop. The two towing cables moving vehicles in two opposite directions.
  • Each vehicle has at least one clamp, movable between three positions A and B, able to engage with said towing cables.
  • the vehicles change direction at the end of the line, either by using a turning plate, or by switches located before or after the last station.
  • the vehicle must include at minimum three clamp positions.
  • the document FR 2 337 067 describes a vehicle transport installation towed by cable with a three-position clamp.
  • the installation includes two separate lanes for the two traffic directions. Roads additional may be provided to allow the transfer of vehicles from one lane to another in the event of a malfunction, so as not to interfere with minimum traffic.
  • the invention aims to allow the realization of a simple installation and reliable, with a small footprint and whose transport rate is not significantly penalized in the event of a malfunction of a towing cable or vehicle on a towing cable loop.
  • An embodiment of the invention also makes it possible to reduce the number of vehicle clamp positions, simplifying the system.
  • the invention describes an installation allowing the displacement of vehicles towed by cable, comprising two or more stations, vehicles traveling on at least one lane between stations, each vehicle comprising at least one clamp, movable between at least two positions A and B, suitable for coming in engagement with a towing cable.
  • Installation includes multiple cables tractors each mounted in a loop, said loops extending parallel to the track, one after the other, the ends of two cable loops successive being close enough to each other to allow the clamp release the cable from the previous loop and grab the cable from the next loop.
  • a first and a second succession of cable loops allow the vehicle to be towed in a forward direction and a return direction, the vehicles changing direction at the end of the line.
  • the installation is characterized in that it comprises a single track of circulation, the two cable loops providing traction in the directions outward and return respectively extending parallel to the single track, at close to each other so that the clamp can pass easily from one cable to the other, said single channel splitting into two outward and return paths, each associated with a round trip tractor cable loop respectively, so that two oncoming vehicles can intersect, the two outward and return paths meet to reform a path single, a vehicle that can change direction of travel during route on the single track.
  • the channel duplication (s) are located at a station and / or between stations. This allows to multiply the vehicle crossing zones and thus increase the transport flow.
  • the installation can also include the following characteristics alone or in combination.
  • the cable ends of all successive loops towing a vehicle in one direction go, respectively return, can be alternately located in two separate positions A1, A2, B1, B2 to proximity to position A, respectively B of the clamp, the cables being located at position A, respectively B of the clamp on the single track between the stations.
  • the cables in position A1, A2 or B1, B2 can be brought to the clamp in position A or B.
  • This device makes it possible to limit the number of positions of the pliers.
  • the “go” and “return” cables of the single channel are thus each arranged in one of two positions A or B, which allows a vehicle to change direction on the single lane.
  • the cables of all the successive loops towing a vehicle in one direction go, respectively return, are located alternately in two separate positions A1, A2 and B1, B2 near position A, respectively B of the clamp.
  • the cable can be brought to position A or B so that the clamp can grab it.
  • the number of channels duplication is preferably odd and at least equal to three. This configuration optimizes the transport rate.
  • the invention also relates to a method of operating a installation as described above.
  • the installation 1 allows the movement of towed vehicles 2 by cables 3 comprising two or more S stations.
  • the embodiment described below relates to a vehicle towed by a cable located at the level of the track.
  • the tracks shown are railways.
  • the invention can also be applied to vehicles towed by a overhead cable or by vehicles with other means of lift (vehicles mounted on tires or air cushion for example).
  • Each vehicle 2 comprises at least one clamp 4, movable between at least two positions A and B. It can for example be a disengageable pliers.
  • the clamp 4 is located under the vehicle 2 so as to be able to grasp the cable 3 located between the means of lift of the tracks.
  • Installation 1 includes several towing cables 3 each mounted in a loop closed.
  • the movement of the cable 3 can be achieved by the action a drive wheel at one end 5 of the loop, a wheel used for cable tension 3 being placed at the other end of the loop (not represented).
  • Vehicles 2 travel on at least one lane 6 between stations S.
  • a single channel 6 splits in two ways 7a, 7b back and forth, each associated with a loop of tractor cable 3 out and back respectively.
  • the two channels 7a and 7b then meet to reform a single track 6.
  • Duplication can take place at an S station or between two stations.
  • the duplication thus allows the vehicles to cross. For some safety reasons, preferably one vehicle at a time runs on a portion single track 6 between two duplicates.
  • the cable loops 3 extend parallel to track 6 and tracks 7a, 7b, one after the other, the ends of two cable loops 3 successive being close enough to each other to allow the clamp 4 to easily change the cable 3, either by moving the cable 3 or by moving the clamp 4.
  • each loop of cable 3 corresponding to traction in one of the two directions back or forth follows lane 7a or 7b respectively.
  • Each vehicle 2 changes cable 3 at a station S (or a split channels) in which the ends of the loops are cable 3.
  • two successive cables 3 (their ends or cables along their entire length) occupy positions A1, A2 on channel 7a, and B1, B2 on channel 7b.
  • the positions A1, A2 are close to the position A of the clamp 4 and the positions B1, B2 close to position B of the clamp ( Figure 2).
  • the cables 3 making it possible to tow the vehicle in a forward direction are, all positioned successively, for example in A1 and A2.
  • the towing cables the vehicle in the return direction then being successively in position B1, B2.
  • This configuration reduces the number of positions required to the clamp.
  • the vehicle 2 arrives at the duplication level in position 2a, 2b, the clamp 4 gripping the cable 3.
  • the next cable 3 runs along the previous cable 3.
  • the clamp 4 changes cable 3, the vehicle 2 is then in position 2c and sets off again towards the next single track portion 6 in position 2d.
  • a vehicle in position 2e can change cable 3: it suffices that its clamp 4 changes position A or B.
  • the cable When changing the cable 3, the cable can then be brought to the clamp 4 or the clamp pick up the cable.
  • the cable change 3 can be carried out at a standstill or at low speed.
  • the waiting time is the same at all stations, the speeds of vehicles being adapted to the distance between stations to keep constant travel time.
  • all the cable loops 3 of the installation 1 serve an odd number of stations and at least three stations.
  • each cable loop serves three stations: this allows optimize the movement of vehicles 2 while minimizing transit time of two vehicles at the same station.
  • the crossings of the tracks are carried out using conventional switches not represented.
  • turnouts such as that described in the patent application filed by the plaintiff and on the same day as this request, entitled “Device of crossing railway tracks associated with towing cables ”are used.
  • This switch allows the vehicle clamp to remain attached to the cable during lane change.
  • the vehicles 2 are symbolized by discs.
  • the arrows indicate the directions of movement.
  • Channels 6 and 7a, 7b are symbolized by lines.
  • Methods combining the steps of these two variants can also be used to optimize and best maintain the circulation of trains by technical incident of a vehicle or cable.
  • duplication Associated with a siding, the presence of duplication allows in particular that at least one train is still in circulation on this section even if one of the two trains running on the standstill duplication.
