Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft Vorrichtung zur Überwachung der Verrieglung des Schließbügels der Sessel einer Seilbahnanlage.The subject invention relates to device for monitoring the Verrieglung the striker of the chair of a cable car system.

Es ist bekannt, die Sessel einer Sesselliftanlage mit einer Einrichtung zur Verrieglung des jeweiligen Schließbügels auszubilden. Eine derartige Verrieglungseinrichtung ist deshalb erforderlich, um ausschließen zu können, daß der Schließbügel während der Fahrt zur Bergstation bzw. zur Talstation geöffnet wird, wodurch die am Sessel befindlichen Personen abstürzen können. Diese Gefahr besteht insbesondere bei Kindern.It is known the armchair of a chairlift system with a device for locking of the respective striker. Such a locking device is therefore necessary in order to rule out that the Closing bar open while driving to the mountain station or to the valley station which can cause the persons in the chair to fall. This Danger exists especially in children.

Der gegenständlichen Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, durch welche bei der Ausfahrt eines Sessels aus einer Station überprüft wird, ob der Schließbügel des Sessels den Erfordernissen entsprechend in der Schließlage verriegelt ist, wobei im Falle, daß dies nicht der Fall ist, die Seibahnanlage abgeschaltet wird.The subject invention is therefore the object of a device through which at the exit of an armchair from one Station is checked whether the striker of the chair meets the requirements is locked in the closed position, and in the event that this is not the case is, the Seibahnanlage is switched off.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein erster Sensor vorgesehen ist, durch welchen die Belegung der Sessel feststellbar ist und daß ein zweiter Sensor vorgesehen ist, durch welchen die Verriegelung des Schließbügels feststellbar ist, wobei die Ausgangssignale der beiden Sensoren an eine Steuereinrichtung geführt sind, durch welche die Seilbahnanlage abschaltbar ist.This object is achieved in that a first sensor is provided, through which the occupancy of the chair is detected and that a second sensor is provided, through which the locking of the Striker is detectable, with the output signals of the two sensors are guided to a control device, by which the cable car system can be switched off is.

Vorzugsweise ist der erste Sensor ortsfest angeordnet, wobei er während der Vorbeifahrt der Sessel anspricht. Weiters ist vorzugsweise der zweite Sensor am Sessel angeordnet und ist an diesen Sensor ein am Sessel angeordneter Sender angeschlossen, welchem ein ortsfester Empfänger zugeordnet ist.Preferably, the first sensor is arranged stationary, during the Passing by the chair appeals. Furthermore, the second sensor is preferably arranged on the armchair and is arranged on this sensor an armchair Transmitter connected to which a stationary receiver is assigned.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
die Talstation einer Sesselliftanlage mit einer Vorrichtung zur Überwachung der Verriegelung des Schließbügels in schematischer Darstellung.
The object of the invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1
the valley station of a chairlift system with a device for monitoring the locking of the striker in a schematic representation.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Seilbahnanlage weist ein Trag- und Förderseil 1 auf, welches in der Talstation über eine Umlenkscheibe 2 geführt ist. Im Abstand von der Umlenkscheibe 2 befindet sich eine Stütze 3, auf welcher Tragrollen 31 angeordnet sind, über welche das Trag- und Förderseil 1 geführt ist. An das Trag- und Förderseil 1 sind im Abstand voneinander Sessel 4 für eine Mehrzahl von Personen angekuppelt.The cable car system shown in FIG. 1 has a carrying and conveying cable 1, which is guided in the valley station via a deflecting plate 2. At a distance from the deflection plate 2 is a support 3, on which support rollers 31 are arranged, over which the support and hoisting rope 1 is guided. To the Support and hoisting rope 1 are at a distance from one another armchair 4 for a plurality coupled by persons.

In Fahrtrichtung A nach der Einstiegsstelle ist ein erster Sensor 5 vorgesehen, durch welchen festgestellt wird, ob der betreffende Sessel 4 zumindest von einer Person belegt ist, weswegen dessen Schließbügel in die Schließlage verschwenkt und in dieser verriegelt werden muß. Weiters sind die Sessel 4 mit einem zweiten Sensor 6 ausgebildet, durch welchen über einen Sender dann, sobald der Schließbügel 4 geschlossen und in seiner Schließlage verriegelt ist, an einen ortsfesten Empfänger 7 ein Signal abgegeben wird. Die Ausgänge des ersten Sensors 5 und des Empfängers 7 sind an eine Steuereinrichtung 8 gelegt.In the direction of travel A to the entry point, a first sensor 5 is provided, by which it is determined whether the chair concerned 4 at least of a person is occupied, so swung its striker in the closed position and must be locked in this. Furthermore, the armchairs are 4 with a second sensor 6, through which, via a transmitter, as soon as the striker 4 is closed and locked in its closed position, to a stationary receiver 7, a signal is emitted. The outputs of the The first sensor 5 and the receiver 7 are connected to a control device 8 placed.

Soferne vom ersten Sensor 5 die Belegung des betreffenden Sessels 4 festgestellt wird und vom zweiten Sensor 6 über den Sender an den Empfänger 7 die Verrieglung des Schließbügels gemeldet wird, wird durch die Steuereinrichtung 8 kein Steuersignal abgegeben. Soferne jedoch bei einer Belegung des Sessels 4 vom ersten Sensor 6 an den Empfänger 7 ein Signal dahingehend gelangt, daß der Schließbügel des betreffenden Sessels 4 nicht verriegelt ist, wird die Seilbahnanlage durch die Steuereinrichtung 8 abgeschaltet, wodurch der betreffende Sessel 4 nach einer kurzen weiteren Fahrt zum Stillstand kommt.
Diese Lage ist durch den Sessel 4' dargestellt. Erst sobald der Schließbügel verriegelt wurde, wird die Seilbahnanlage wieder in Betrieb genommen.As soon as the occupancy of the relevant armchair 4 is detected by the first sensor 5 and the locking of the striker is signaled by the second sensor 6 via the transmitter to the receiver 7, no control signal is emitted by the control device 8. Soferne, however, when an occupancy of the chair 4 from the first sensor 6 to the receiver 7 a signal comes to the effect that the striker of the armchair 4 is not locked, the cable car system is turned off by the controller 8, whereby the armchair 4 in question after a short further Ride comes to a halt.
This situation is represented by the armchair 4 '. Only once the striker has been locked, the cable car system is put back into operation.

Da die Sessel 4 vorerst von den Personen belegt werden und erst hierauf die Schließbügel in ihre Schließlage verschwenkt und in dieser verriegelt werden, erfolgt mittels einer Abtastrolle eine Wegmessung des betreffenden Sessels 4 von der Einstiegsstelle bis zu einer solchen Stelle, an welcher der Schließbügel des betreffenden Sessels schon verriegelt sein muß. Da weiters die Anlage dann wieder in Funktion gesetzt werden muß, wenn nach deren Stillsetzung der Schließbügel verriegelt worden ist, muß der Empfänger 7 in der Lage sein, auch diejenigen Signale zu empfangen, welche von einem Sessel 4' nach dem Stillsetzen der Anlage abgegeben werden.Since the chair 4 are initially occupied by the persons and only then the Locking bar pivoted to its closed position and locked in this, takes place by means of a cam follower a distance measurement of the respective chair. 4 from the point of entry to such a place where the striker the chair concerned must already be locked. There further the plant must then be put back into operation, if after their shutdown the striker has been locked, the receiver 7 must be able to also to receive those signals which from a chair 4 'after the Shut down the system are delivered.

Die für den Betrieb der Anlage verwendeten Sensoren können auf der Basis von Infrarot, Ultraschall, Laser, Funk, Induktion, drahtlose Übertragung u.dgl. wirken. Maßgeblich ist, daß durch einen ersten Sensor die Belegung des betreffenden Sessels und durch einen zweiten Sensor die Verriegelung des Schließbügels angezeigt werden und daß die diesbezüglichen Signale an eine Steuereinrichtung geleitet werden, durch welche eine Auswertung dieser Signale erfolgt. Die Sensoren können dabei am Sessel selbst oder im Bereich der Station ortsfest angeordnet sein.The sensors used for the operation of the system can be based on of infrared, ultrasound, laser, radio, induction, wireless transmission and the like. Act. Decisive is that by a first sensor, the occupancy of the relevant Armchair and by a second sensor, the locking of the striker are displayed and that the relevant signals to a control device be passed through which an evaluation of these signals. The sensors can be on the chair itself or in the area of the station be arranged stationary.

Durch eine derartige Vorrichtung ist somit gewährleistet, daß die Schließbügel von belegten Sesseln der Seilbahnanlage während der Fahrt über die Strecke immer verriegelt sind.By such a device is thus ensured that the striker of occupied chairs of the cable car system while driving over the track always locked.
