Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lift system, in particular funicular railway, in particular for the transport of athletes with their sports equipment from a valley station below to a mountain station above a slope.
  • Lifts are known in many forms.
  • the simplest type is a so-called ski lift for skiers, in which the athletes standing on their skis are pulled by a tow bar between their legs.
  • the towbars hang on a continuously rotating wire rope, so that they are constantly in motion.
  • the entry and exit therefore, causes difficulties for some athletes.
  • the athlete must ensure that his skis sliding on the ground do not run off the track while being pulled up.
  • the tow lift can only be used by skiers.
  • the exit point on the mountain is dangerous in some ways, as there is a risk of injury to zu ⁇ before exited users by the released towing bracket.
  • a subsection of the drag lifts are sled lifts.
  • a transport slide is firmly connected to the spring pull of the towing device.
  • a helper holds the sled down on the ground until the passenger jumps up and is then pulled uphill by the towing device in the snow track, pulling his own sledge behind him.
  • This system is labor-intensive, has a low conveying capacity and requires intensive care of the towing lane. The passengers have to bring along a certain agility, and the whole system only works if there is sufficient snow cover.
  • the invention is thus based on the problem of creating a Liftan ⁇ location especially for athletes with their sports equipment, which can be realized with simple means and allows the athlete to get out at a mountain station to then on his sports equipment (skis, toboggan or Like.) Go down the slope hin ⁇ .
  • the system should work as smoothly as possible and with very little supervisory staff. Possibly. also descents should be possible.
  • the invention provides that the lift system has a near-ground in a circle Schienen ⁇ circle on which a plurality of slides are guided, wherein the portion of the rails between the valley station and the mountain station forms a conveyor line with an external drive for the carriage and the subsequent section of the rails between the mountain station and the valley station forms a return route, on which the carriages from the mountain station to the valley station under the influence of gravity free rolling back to the valley station zu ⁇ back.
  • the facility thus serves mainly the transport of athletes to a mountain station.
  • the means of transport (tow bar, armchair, cabin) do not hang on a wire rope, but are guided on a continuous rail circle.
  • Such circles can be laid quite easily and adapted to the current slope form.
  • Free rolling means that the slides are only under the action of gravity and not as in the mountain driving with an external drive z. B. are coupled via a rope or a chain. To avoid too high speeds, the z. B. could lead to derailment of the carriage, external brakes on the return path can be provided before critical Stel ⁇ len. The speed limit by external brakes should also allow the sudlauf ⁇ track can be used to carry the valley of people. Since the transport, but not the pleasure, such. For example, in a summer toboggan run, the brakes limit the speed of the sled to a speed which does not cause any anxiety among the passengers. Also, no individual, by the passengers operable brake, as in summer toboggan runs, provided.
  • the valley station serves as a boarding point for winter sports enthusiasts, there is only a transport of people and their equipment uphill.
  • Sommerbe ⁇ drive the plant z. B. hikers also bring downhill or perform tours that begin at the mountain or valley station as Zusteigebahnhof.
  • the design also has the advantage that the carriages are stopped in the valley and mountain station, so that the entry and exit unproblematic takes place at a standstill.
  • the term funicular railway is commonly used in the circulation system. Due to the curved design of the rope clamps with which the carriages can be coupled to the pull rope of the rope access system, both right and left turns can be negotiated.
  • the ground-level laying of the rails can be relatively easily realized. It therefore need no poles and the like to be set up. Since there is no risk of falling because of the ground-level installation, the control expenditure compared to systems with wire ropes guided on masts is low. Except in the stations no concrete foundations are necessary.
  • the invention thus consists in that the carriages reach the valley under the action of gravity, wherein preferably an automatically acting deceleration is provided to limit the speed.
  • This consists for example of at least one pair of permanent magnets, which are arranged centrally over an existing copper rail an ⁇ . Either the copper rail on the slide and the permanent magnets on selected areas of the rails or the permanent magnets on the slide and the copper rail can be arranged on selected areas of the rails.
  • the permanent magnets immerse themselves in different depths over the copper rail by means of spring-loaded bearings.
  • This suspension automatically regulates the speed on the track.
  • the carriages can be transported considerably faster than the cable speed downhill in order to increase the capacity. It is also a combination of cable guide and Wirbelstrom ⁇ brake possible to increase safety.
  • centrifugal brakes can be installed in the wheels. With such equipment, the system can also be used to transport people and material downhill.
  • the mountain and valley stations are designed so that the carriages for getting on and off are stopped.
  • these can be realized by the rails being slightly sloping in the area of the buffer zones, so that when one carriage leaves the station, the next carriage automatically rolls.
  • conveyor systems can also be installed.
  • the invention provides that the carriages have on the one side an entry region extending to the carriage bottom and on the other side a discharge region which also extends to the carriage bottom and thus arrange the seats are that the athlete is sitting transversely to the direction of travel.
  • the seat is designed as a folding seat.
  • the mountain route can now be laid so that it runs ent ⁇ long the ski slope, so that transported People can look at the ski slope and watch the other athletes on the descent.
  • the Schie ⁇ NEN are laid in a figure eight, the valley station in the one loop of the eight and the mountain station is located in the other loop of the Eight.
  • the seats can also be aligned in the direction of travel. This is particularly interesting, for example, if the lift is to supply a winter toboggan run.
  • the carriages can then be simultaneously provided with a box for receiving the toboggan sled. These sledges can each be climbed and left from one side. In this case, the rail circle is crossing-free.
  • the first exemplary embodiment relates to a rail-based lift system in connection with a ski slope.

  • the rails 5 of the rail circle 2 are laid close to the ground, that is to say on only slightly raised claws 6.
  • the rails 5 consist of parallel tubes fastened to cross members 7, wherein the Cross member 7 are bolted to the set at intervals claws 6.
  • the Claw height can be adjusted so that the rails 5 can be laid continuously fal ⁇ or rising even with a very uneven ground.
  • the individual claws 6 are connected to one another via longitudinal struts S (see FIG. 2) and thus form a rigid base for the rails 5.
  • the carriages 9 are provided with running and guide rollers 10, 10 'which are arranged in pairs Run laterally on the outside of the rails 5. In order to prevent derailment, the rails are also der ⁇ 11 of jaws underfoot.
  • the body 12 of a carriage 9 consists of a flat floor on which a plurality of compartments 13 arranged one behind the other are formed, which each enter from one side and can be left from the other side.
  • seats 14 are kept hinged.
  • the skier enters the compartment 13 from one side, folds the seat 14 into the compartment 13 and sits on it.
  • the skis do not need to be unbolted, they rather remain on the feet and protrude in the sitting position slightly beyond the Ab ⁇ width (see Figure 4).

  • a cable system 23 Such cable pull systems are known in many different embodiments and therefore need not be described in detail here.
  • the carriage 9 are pulled up by the cable system 23, where they automatically solve at the end of the Seilzug ⁇ system 23 and then immediately before the top station 4 in a slightly sloping buffer zone 19 for Bergsta ⁇ tion 4 roll.
  • the exit platform 16 is now seen in the direction of travel left of the carriage, so that the skiers can leave the sled via the exit platform 16 without having to turn around.
  • the empty carriages now pass via another, slightly sloping region 20 to the return path 21, where they pass back to the valley station 3 via a buffer zone 22.
  • an upright copper rail 27 is installed, over which at least one pair of permanent magnets 28 are suspended resiliently on the underside of the carriage. Due to the thickness of the copper rail 27, the gap between the magnets 28 and the immersion depth, virtually any speed, specifically differently on the different sections of the section, can be achieved. Since, as the braking power increases, the tension on the spring mounting 29 increases, the permanent magnets 28 dive deeper and thus increase the braking force. As the braking power decreases, the springs pull up the permanent magnets 28 again and reduce the braking force. In this way, a self-regulating speed control is achieved.
  • Figure 9 shows the magnets in the upper position with low braking force
  • Figure 10 shows the magnets in the lowest position with high braking force.

Abstract

L'objectif de cette invention est de concevoir des remonte-pentes (1) de construction simple, faciles à entretenir et pouvant être utilisés sans aucune difficulté sur des pistes de ski ou de luge de courte longueur, notamment en salle. En effet, des remonte-pentes, qui, pour des raisons économiques, conviennent bien à cette longueur de pistes de ski ou de luge, causent souvent des problèmes aux utilisateurs, car les perches fonctionnent en continu. Par conséquent, l'invention concerne un système de rails (2) disposé en circuit, système sur lequel des chariots sont remontés sur une voie de roulage (18) et redescendent à vide sur une voie de retour (21). Dans la station de vallée ou de montagne (3, 4), ces chariots (9) sont arrêtés, de sorte que la montée et la descente peuvent s'effectuer sans aucun problème. Selon un mode de réalisation des chariots (9), sur lesquels les personnes sont assises sur des sièges escamotables perpendiculairement au sens de la marche, il n'est même pas nécessaire d'enlever les skis.
