Abstract

An overhead cable transport installation comprises at least one track (1 or 2), extending between two ends (30,40) of the transport installation, along which a corresponding car can move, the track (1 or 2) comprising at least one carrying cable (11,12) for supporting the car, and at least one emergency cable (50) extending between the ends (30,40) of the transport installation, for the transport of an emergency car between said ends. The installation also comprises a device for displacing the emergency cable (50), which can displace at least one portion (61,62) of the emergency cable transversely with respect to the direction of extension of the track (1,2), so that the portion (61,62) of emergency cable (50) can selectively assume a normal position (61'' or 62'), in which it is remote from the carrying cable, and an emergency position (61',62'') in which it is close and substantially parallel to the carrying cable (11 or 12).

Description

  • The present invention relates in a general way to overhead cable transport installations, and specifically to an installation having the characteristics specified in the precharacterizing clause of Claim 1.
  • An installation of this type is shown in Fig. 1. In particular, this prior art installation, shown in cross section, is what is called a to-and-fro installation, and comprises two tracks VC1 and VC2 for corresponding cars, only one of which, indicated by V, is shown on track VC1. Each track VC1, VC2 comprises a carrying cable P1, P2, a drive cable T1, T2, and an emergency cable S1, S2. A carriage C of the car V is shown, supported on the carrying cable P1, and an attachment apparatus A fixes the carriage C to the drive cable T1. An emergency car (not shown) can be attached to the emergency cable S1, S2, and is used in emergency situations to reach the car V if the latter is accidentally jammed on the track.
  • Each emergency cable S1, S2 is positioned in the same vertical plane as the corresponding carrying cable P1, P2 and drive cable T1, T2. In particular, each emergency cable S1, S2 is positioned at a distance from the corresponding carrying cable P1, P2 which is greater than the distance of the corresponding drive cable T1, T2 from the said carrying cable P1, P2.
  • This arrangement has the function of reducing the probability of entanglement between the cables. However, this may be insufficient, for example in the case of ice formation on the cables, when the weight of the ice may deform the emergency cable to a greater extent than the carrying cable, since the former has a smaller cross section than the latter.
  • The object of the present invention is to provide an installation of the type defined above, in which the probability of entanglement between the cables is further reduced, particularly in situations in which ice forms on the cables.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention with an overhead cable transport installation having the characteristics specified in Claim 1.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
  • A preferred, but not restrictive, embodiment of the invention will now be described, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
    • Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an overhead cable transport installation according to the prior art;
    • Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of an overhead cable transport installation according to the invention;
    • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the installation of Fig. 2;
    • Fig. 4 is a plan view of a possible embodiment of a component of the installation of Fig. 2; and
    • Fig. 5 is a view in longitudinal section of the component of Fig. 4, taken along the axis V-V of the latter figure.
  • With reference to Figs. 2 and 3, these show an overhead cable transport installation according to the invention.
  • This installation comprises a pair of tracks 1, 2, along which corresponding cars can move to transport passengers and/or goods, only one of these cars, indicated by V, being shown in Fig. 3. The installation illustrated is of the to-and-fro cable car type, in which each track 1, 2 comprises a carrying cable 11, 12 and a drive cable 21, 22. A carriage C of the car V is shown, supported on the carrying cable 11, and an attachment apparatus A fixes the carriage C to the drive cable 21. The drive cable 21 can pull the carriage C along the carrying cable 11, thus moving the car V along the track 1.
  • The tracks 1, 2 extend in a parallel way between two ends 30, 40 of the transport installation, for example two cable car stations. The carrying cables 11, 12 are anchored in a known way at the two ends 30, 40, while the drive cables 21, 22 are branches of a single closed loop of drive cable wound on pulley systems (not shown) located at the two ends 30, 40 of the transport installation, and arranged in a known configuration whose description is omitted here since it is not essential for the purposes of the invention.
  • According to the invention, the transport installation comprises an emergency cable loop 50, to which an emergency car (not shown) can be attached, this car being used in emergency situations to reach the car V if the latter is accidentally jammed on the track.
  • At the second end 40 of the installation, this loop 50 is wound around pulleys 51, 52, arranged in a conventional way at this end 40 of the installation, thus forming two branches, namely the ascending branch 61 and the descending branch 62 of the emergency cable loop 50. The overall arrangement is such that the exit point of the cable branch 62 from the pulley 52 is positioned vertically above the carrying cable 12, and the entry point of the cable branch 61 to the pulley 51 is positioned vertically above the other carrying cable 11.
  • At the first end 30 of the installation, the loop 50 is wound around a pulley 73. The overall arrangement of the pulley 73 at the first end 30 of the installation and of the pulleys 51, 52 at the second terminus of the installation is such that the loop 50 takes on a substantially triangular shape in plan view.
  • The pulley 73 at the first end 30 of the installation is mounted on a slide device 100 (shown in Figs. 4 and 5) which can be translated transversely with respect to the direction of extension of the tracks 1, 2, as indicated by the arrows D1, D2.
  • The device 100 can be operated by means of a control unit (not shown), which causes it to move in the direction of the arrow D1 or of the arrow D2. By this movement, the device 100 carries with it the end of the emergency loop 50 wound around the pulley 73. In particular, when it moves in the direction of the arrow D1, the device 100 can carry the pulley 73 to the position indicated by 73', in other words to one of the vertices of the rectangle formed by the tracks 1, 2. In this position, the branch 61 of the emergency loop 50 takes up the position indicated by 61', in which it lies close and substantially parallel to the carrying cable 11. This arrangement enables an emergency car (not shown) to be attached to the branch 61, to reach a car V which is accidentally jammed on the carrying cable 11. Conversely, when it moves in the direction of the arrow D2, the device 100 can carry the pulley 73 to the position indicated by 73'', in other words to another of the vertices of the rectangle formed by the tracks 1, 2. In this position, the branch 62 of the emergency loop 50 takes up the position indicated by 62", in which it lies close and substantially parallel to the carrying cable 12. This arrangement enables an emergency car (not shown) to be attached to the branch 62, to reach a car which is accidentally jammed on the carrying cable 12.
  • The emergency cable acts as a drive cable for the emergency car, and therefore at least one of the pulleys 51, 52 and 73 is designed as a drive pulley of a winch (not shown).
  • In normal operating conditions, the device 100 and therefore the pulley 73 are positioned remotely from the tracks 1, 2, for example in a position equidistant from the carrying cables 11 and 12. Thus, since the major part of the branches 61, 62 of the emergency loop 50 is remote from the corresponding carrying cables 11, 12 and is not located vertically above these cables 11, 12, the risk of entanglement between the emergency cable and the carrying cable is considerably reduced.
  • The transverse dimensions of an overhead cable transport installation are generally much smaller than its length, and therefore the variations of the configuration of the emergency loop 50 corresponding to the different positions of the pulley 73 generate practically negligible variations of the tension in the emergency cable 50. In any case, it is possible to provide a conventional cable tension regulator in the emergency loop 50.
  • A possible embodiment of the device 100 is shown in Figs. 4 and 5. This device is fitted on a supporting structure of the cables of the installation, for example a support or pylon (not shown). One or more elements of this structure, for example a pair of beams B1, B2 positioned transversely with respect to the direction of extension of the tracks 1, 2 of the installation, form a guide for the movement of the device 100.
  • The device 100 comprises a frame 110, formed essentially by a pair of longitudinal elements 111, 112, positioned on opposite sides of the pulley 73, and a pair of front and rear transverse elements 113, 114, which interconnect the longitudinal elements 111, 112.
  • The pulley 73 is mounted rotatably on the front transverse element 114, by means of a shaft 115 mounted on a pair of brackets 116, 117 positioned on vertically opposite sides of the pulley 73, these brackets in turn being mounted on the front transverse element 114.
  • Wheels 123, 124, bearing on a track TR positioned on the web of the beam B1, are mounted rotatably on corresponding vertical extensions 121, 122 of the longitudinal elements 111, 112. At least one of these wheels 123, 124 is driven by a motor 125, which in turn is operated by the control unit of the installation, to cause the device 100 to move in the direction of the arrow D1 or D2.
  • Idle wheels 126, 127, bearing on the upper flange of the beam B2 and capable of running on it, are mounted at the ends of the front transverse element 114. The device 100 also comprises devices for constraining the device 100 to the beams B1 and B2, such as opposing rolls 131 which engage with vertically opposing sides of the upper flange of the beam B1, and a formation 132, adjacent to the upper flange of the beam B2, which acts substantially as a stop member bearing on the complementary surface of this flange.
  • Longitudinal front arms 141, 142 are also mounted on the transverse front element 114. On each of these front arms 141, 142 there are mounted pulleys 143, 144, positioned so as to guide, respectively, the cable branches 61 and 62 of the emergency loop 50, at the exit and entry points from and to the pulley 73.
  • The front arms 141 and 142 are connected by a transverse element 145 on which is mounted a snow scraper 146, for scraping any accumulation of snow from the throat of the pulley 73.
  • Although the invention has been described with reference to a twin-track to-and-fro installation, it is clearly applicable to other types of installation in which an emergency cable separate from the drive cable is used.
  • The invention is also theoretically applicable to installations in which the emergency cable does not form a closed loop, but is anchored to one or both of the ends 30, 40 of the installation.
  • Clearly, provided that the principle of the invention is retained, the details of construction and the forms of embodiment can be varied widely from what has been described and illustrated, without departure from the scope of the invention.
