Le document
Ce type d'installation permet de répondre simultanément à la demande de deux types d'usagers. Les skieurs sont destinés à être véhiculés sur les sièges, tandis que les cabines assurent le transport des piétons, des enfants ou autres personnes à mobilité réduite. Parallèlement, la sécurité et le confort sont renforcés pour ces deux types d'usagers, grâce à une bonne adaptation du véhicule en fonction des besoins de chacun.This type of installation makes it possible to respond simultaneously to the request of two types of users. Skiers are intended to be carried on the seats, while cabins transport pedestrians, children or other persons with reduced mobility. At the same time, safety and comfort are reinforced for these two types of users, thanks to a good adaptation of the vehicle according to the needs of each.
Dans ce type d'installation, les véhicules entrant dans une station d'embarquement/débarquement, qu'ils soient du type siège ou du type cabine, sont freinés le long du tronçon de ralentissement grâce au dispositif ralentisseur, après que les pinces soutenant les véhicules sont débrayées du câble aérien. Les véhicules cheminent ensuite le long du tronçon de contour de circulation à vitesse réduite grâce à un dispositif d'entraînement équipé généralement de roues à bandage pneumatique. En sortie du tronçon de contour, les véhicules sont pris en charge dans le tronçon d'accélération par un dispositif lanceur dans le but d'atteindre une vitesse correspondant à la vitesse de défilement du câble. En sortie du tronçon d'accélération, les véhicules sont réaccouplés au câble par embrayage des pinces sur le câble.In this type of installation, vehicles entering a embarkation / disembarkation station, whether of the seat or cabin type, are braked along the retarding section by means of the retarder device, after the clamps supporting the vehicles are disengaged from the aerial cable. The vehicles then travel along the reduced speed contour section by means of a drive device generally equipped with pneumatic tires. At the output of the contour section, the vehicles are supported in the acceleration section by a launcher device in order to achieve a speed corresponding to the speed of travel of the cable. At the exit of the acceleration section, the vehicles are reconnected to the cable by clutching the clamps on the cable.
Classiquement, une station aval est munie d'un premier emplacement d'embarquement/débarquement dans les cabines et un deuxième emplacement d'embarquement sur les sièges, répartis le long du circuit de transfert suivant la direction de déplacement des véhicules. La vitesse d'entraînement le long de l'emplacement d'embarquement/débarquement dans les cabines est très faible, de l'ordre de 0,25 m/s, tandis que celle-ci est augmentée le long de l'emplacement d'embarquement sur les sièges jusqu'à atteindre approximativement 1 m/s. La vitesse de défilement du câble aérien est quant à elle de l'ordre de 5 m/s, ce qui garantit un débit important de l'installation. Une station amont présente une configuration inversée, avec un emplacement de débarquement des sièges puis un emplacement d'embarquement/débarquement dans les cabines, ces deux emplacements étant répartis le long du circuit de transfert suivant la direction de déplacement des véhicules.Conventionally, a downstream station is provided with a first place of embarkation / disembarkation in the cabins and a second location of embarkation on the seats, distributed along the transfer circuit according to the direction of movement of the vehicles. The driving speed along the boarding / unloading location in the cabins is very low, of the order of 0.25 m / s, while the latter is increased along the location of boarding on the seats up reach approximately 1 m / s. The speed of travel of the aerial cable is in the order of 5 m / s, which guarantees a high flow rate of the installation. An upstream station has an inverted configuration, with a landing location seats and a boarding / unloading location in the cabins, these two locations being distributed along the transfer circuit in the direction of movement of the vehicles.
Les véhicules, sièges et cabines, sont disposés le long du câble selon une combinaison et un cadencement prédéterminés. En fonctionnement, cette combinaison reste identique dans les stations d'embarquement/débarquement car les véhicules cheminent tous sur une voie unique. Le cadencement est choisi de telle manière que les véhicules présentent entre eux un intervalle de temps égal. Cet intervalle de temps est identique en station et le long du câble. Comme la vitesse de défilement du câble est nettement supérieure que la vitesse d'entraînement des véhicules en station, ces derniers sont beaucoup plus proches les uns des autres en station que le long du câble. La valeur minimale de l'intervalle de temps entre deux véhicules est conditionnée par la distance physique nécessaire entre ces deux véhicules pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour, lequel tamponnement serait dangereux pour des personnes extérieures aux véhicules et inconfortable pour les usagers embarqués. A titre d'exemple, l'intervalle de temps minimal est de 8,7 s pour une vitesse d'entraînement minimale de 0,25 m/s.The vehicles, seats and cabins, are arranged along the cable in a predetermined combination and timing. In operation, this combination remains the same in the embarkation / disembarkation stations because the vehicles all run on a single lane. The timing is chosen such that the vehicles have between them an equal time interval. This time interval is identical at the station and along the cable. As the speed of travel of the cable is much higher than the speed of drive station vehicles, they are much closer to each other station than along the cable. The minimum value of the time interval between two vehicles is conditioned by the necessary physical distance between these two vehicles to avoid their buffering in the corner of the slowest part of the contour section, which would be dangerous for persons outside the vehicles. vehicles and uncomfortable for on-board users. By way of example, the minimum time interval is 8.7 s for a minimum drive speed of 0.25 m / s.
Dans ce but, il est connu de prévoir un tronçon cadenceur le long du circuit de transfert de l'une au moins des stations, mais qui impose à sa sortie une cadence régulière de défilement des cabines et des sièges, indépendamment de leur fréquence d'entrée. Ce tronçon cadenceur permet de s'affranchir des décalages inévitables qui apparaissent en cours de fonctionnement, et l'installation peut fonctionner aux conditions optimales, en l'occurrence à débit élevé et régulier.For this purpose, it is known to provide a clocking section along the transfer circuit of at least one of the stations, but which requires at its output a regular rate of movement of the cabins and seats, regardless of their frequency. Entrance. This rhythmic section makes it possible to overcome the inevitable shifts that appear during operation, and the facility can operate at optimal conditions, in this case at high and steady rate.
Mais ces installations connues ne sont pas complètement satisfaisantes en ce qui concerne le débit d'usagers. En effet, la valeur maximale de ce débit est liée à la valeur minimale de l'intervalle de temps, en station, entre deux véhicules successifs. Or la valeur minimale de l'intervalle de temps résulte d'un compromis choisi suffisamment grand pour tenir compte de l'encombrement supérieur d'une cabine par rapport à celui d'un siège. En pratique, la valeur minimale de l'intervalle de temps entre véhicules successifs est établie en fonction de la distance physique nécessaire entre un siège et une cabine pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour. De plus, il est impossible de configurer l'installation de manière à avoir deux cabines successives sans que cela ne diminue considérablement le débit d'usagers car, dans ce cas, l'intervalle de temps entre véhicules est augmenté. La diversité de combinaison des véhicules est donc très limitée si l'on désire conserver un débit d'usagers correct.But these known installations are not completely satisfactory as regards the flow of users. Indeed, the maximum value of this flow is related to the minimum value of the time interval, station, between two successive vehicles. However, the minimum value of the time interval results from a compromise chosen large enough to take account of the larger size of a cabin relative to that of a seat. In practice, the minimum value of the time interval between successive vehicles is established according to the necessary physical distance between a seat and a cabin to avoid their buffering in the bend of the slowest part of the contour section. In addition, it is impossible to configure the installation so as to have two successive cabins without this greatly reduces the user flow because, in this case, the time interval between vehicles is increased. The diversity of combination of vehicles is very limited if one wishes to maintain a correct user flow.
L'invention a pour but de pallier aux inconvénients précédents en proposant une installation de transport à câble aérien du type mentionné ci-dessus, qui assure un débit d'usagers augmenté et qui améliore la diversité de combinaison des véhicules.The object of the invention is to overcome the above disadvantages by proposing an aerial cable transport installation of the type mentioned above, which ensures an increased user speed and which improves the combination diversity of the vehicles.
Selon l'invention, ce but est atteint par le fait que le tronçon cadenceur est équipé d'un moyen cadenceur susceptible de varier le temps de parcours dudit tronçon cadenceur par les cabines et par les sièges, pour imposer une première cadence prédéterminée de défilement des cabines et une deuxième cadence prédéterminée de défilement des sièges.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that the clocking section is equipped with a clocking means capable of varying the travel time of said clocking section by the cabins and the seats, to impose a first predetermined rate of travel of the cabins and a second predetermined rate of scrolling of the seats.
Cette disposition permet d'adapter l'intervalle de temps entre deux véhicules successifs d'un même type en fonction de la distance physique nécessaire entre deux véhicules d'un même type pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour. Ainsi, il devient possible de prévoir des trains de cabines successives sans que cela n'abaisse considérablement le débit d'usagers. Les cabines sont plus éloignées entre elles tandis que les sièges sont plus rapprochés entre eux, par rapport au cadencement constant de l'art antérieur qui résultait d'un compromis.This arrangement makes it possible to adapt the time interval between two successive vehicles of the same type as a function of the necessary physical distance between two vehicles of the same type to avoid their buffering in the corner of the slowest part of the section. of outline. Thus, it becomes possible to provide successive cab trains without this significantly reducing the flow of users. The cabins are further apart while the seats are closer together, compared to the constant timing of the prior art that resulted from a compromise.
Selon un développement de l'invention, le tronçon cadenceur impose une troisième cadence prédéterminée de défilement à un véhicule parcourant ledit tronçon cadenceur, lorsque le véhicule précédent, vu dans le sens de déplacement, est d'un type différent dudit véhicule, la troisième cadence prédéterminée étant comprise entre les première et deuxième cadences prédéterminées. L'intervalle de temps entre un siège et une cabine est donc optimisé pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour.According to a development of the invention, the timing section imposes a third predetermined rate of travel to a vehicle traveling on said timing section, when the preceding vehicle, seen in the direction of travel, is of a different type of said vehicle, the third rate predetermined amount being between the first and second predetermined rates. The time interval between a seat and a cabin is optimized to avoid their buffering in the bend of the slowest part of the contour section.
Un tronçon cadenceur selon l'invention a donc pour but d'optimiser l'intervalle de temps entre deux véhicules successifs en fonction de la distance physique tout juste nécessaire entre ces deux véhicules, en fonction de leur type respectif, pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour.A timing section according to the invention therefore aims to optimize the time interval between two successive vehicles based on the physical distance just needed between these two vehicles, depending on their respective type, to avoid their buffering in the turn of the slowest part of the contour section.

Sur les figures, un câble aérien 10 d'une installation de transport s'étend en boucle fermée entre deux stations d'embarquement/débarquement 11, 12, respectivement aval et amont, en passant dans les stations sur des poulies 13 principales dont l'une motrice entraîne le câble 10 en continu. Le câble 10 supporte des cabines 14 et des sièges 15 accouplés par des pinces débrayables et échelonnés le long du câble selon une combinaison prédéterminée. L'installation de transport peut comporter d'autres stations intermédiaires prévues le long des voies montante 16 et descendante 17 du câble 10 pour l'embarquement et/ou le débarquement des passagers dans les véhicules 14, 15.In the figures, an
Les
Les tronçons de ralentissement A et d'accélération B sont reliés par un tronçon de contour C le long duquel les véhicules 14, 15 circulent en continu à vitesse réduite grâce à un dispositif d'entraînement 21 constitué de trains de roues 22 à bandage pneumatique. Le dispositif d'entraînement 21 du tronçon de contour C est subdivisé en trois sections successives, délimitant chacune un tronçon élémentaire S1, S2, S3, et pouvant avoir des vitesses différentielles d'entraînement. Les roues 22 de la partie en demi-cercle du tronçon de contour C, au sein d'une même section, sont entraînées en synchronisme entre elles par des pignons fous 23 (
Dans la station d'embarquement/débarquement 11 aval, un quai d'embarquement/débarquement 27 dans les cabines 14 est aménagé le long des tronçons S1 et S2. La vitesse de déplacement des véhicules 14, 15 dans les tronçons S1 et S2 est très réduite, par exemple de l'ordre de 0,25 m/s. D'autre part, un emplacement d'embarquement 28 sur les sièges 15 est agencé de manière coïncidante avec l'aire balayée par les sièges 15 le long du tronçon S3, pour permettre à des skieurs provenant d'un portillon d'accès 29 de s'asseoir sur les sièges 15. La vitesse de déplacement des véhicules 14, 15 au niveau de l'emplacement d'embarquement 28 est de l'ordre de 1 m/s. Pour atteindre cette vitesse, les véhicules 14, 15 sont accélérés de manière identique sur le tronçon S3 dès la sortie du tronçon S2.In the loading / unloading
De manière inversée, les véhicules 14, 15 circulant dans la station d'embarquement/débarquement amont 12 (
En référence à la
Le tronçon cadenceur S2 selon l'invention fonctionne de la manière suivante : un véhicule, qu'il soit du type cabine 14 ou du type siège 15, entrant dans la station aval 11 est désaccouplé du câble aérien 10 et il roule le long du circuit de transfert 18 en étant propulsé par les roues à pneumatiques des tronçons A, C, puis B. Les roues du tronçon de ralentissement A freinent le véhicule 14, 15, tandis que les roues 22 suivantes du tronçon S1 le déplacent le long du quai 27 jusqu'à atteindre le moyen de détection 35, disposé le long du tronçon S1 à l'entrée du tronçon cadenceur S2. Le passage du véhicule 14, 15 dans la zone de détection associée au moyen de détection 35, engendre un signal de sélection 34, lequel est transmis à l'unité de commande 31. Cette dernière comporte en outre une mémoire d'enregistrement des signaux de sélection 34. A partir de ces informations, l'unité de commande 31 détermine le type de véhicule 14, 15 qui est sur le point de pénétrer dans le tronçon cadenceur S2 ainsi que le type de véhicule 14, 15 précédent, vu dans le sens de déplacement, qui a partiellement ou totalement parcouru le tronçon cadenceur S2. En fonction de ces données, l'unité de commande 31 détermine l'intervalle de temps théorique qui devra séparer, en sortie de tronçon cadenceur S2, le véhicule 14 ,15 sur le point de pénétrer dans le tronçon cadenceur S2 et le véhicule 14, 15 précédent. L'intervalle de temps théorique séparant deux véhicules 14, 15 successifs en sortie du tronçon cadenceur S2 est tel que la distance physique entre eux correspond à la distance nécessaire, liée à leur type respectif, pour éviter leur tamponnement dans le virage de la partie la plus lente du tronçon de contour C. Les distances nécessaires entre deux véhicules 14, 15 successifs, en fonction de leur type respectif, sont pré-enregistrées dans l'unité de commande 31. Ainsi, pour établir l'intervalle de temps théorique, l'unité de commande 31 détermine les vitesses d'entraînement procurées par le dispositif d'entraînement 21 le long des tronçons S1 et S2, c'est-à-dire aux endroits où la vitesse d'entraînement est la plus faible et où les véhicules 14, 15 sont en virage. Les relations d'établissement des intervalles théoriques en fonction des vitesses d'entraînement sont pré-enregistrées dans l'unité de commande 31. Les vitesses d'entraînement sont déterminées par l'unité de commande 31 à partir du signal d'horloge 36.The synchronizer section S2 according to the invention operates as follows: a vehicle, whether
Le véhicule 14, 15 passe ensuite devant le capteur de présence 33 qui envoie un signal de passage 32, généralement sous la forme d'une impulsion, jusqu'à l'unité de commande 31 qui incorpore un moyen de comptage du temps écoulé entre deux signaux de passage 32 successifs. L'unité de commande 31 établit donc l'intervalle de temps réel qui séparait ledit véhicule 14, 15 et le véhicule 14, 15 précédent avant que ledit véhicule 14, 15 précédent ne parcourt le tronçon cadenceur S2.The
Par comparaison entre l'intervalle de temps théorique et l'intervalle de temps réel mesuré, l'unité de commande 31 est capable de détecter tout écart dû à des décalages inévitables susceptibles d'apparaître en cours de fonctionnement (conditions de freinage et d'accélération différentes d'un véhicule 14, 15 à l'autre, chargement variable des véhicules 14, 15, conditions climatiques variables...). L'écart est déterminé avant que le véhicule 14, 15 n'aborde le tronçon cadenceur S2.By comparison between the theoretical time interval and the real time interval measured, the
Ensuite, lors du parcours du tronçon cadenceur S2 par le véhicule 14, 15, l'unité de commande 31 assure le pilotage en vitesse du moteur à vitesse variable 25, par l'intermédiaire d'un signal de commande 37 adapté, de telle manière que le temps de parcours du véhicule 14, 15 est modulé pour compenser l'écart déterminé ci-dessus.Then, during the journey of the timing section S2 by the
Par conséquent, le tronçon cadenceur S2 est équipé d'un moyen cadenceur constitué par l'unité de commande 31, le capteur de présence 33, le moyen de détection 35, le moteur à vitesse variable 25, le détecteur délivrant le signal d'horloge 36. Conformément à l'invention, le moyen cadenceur ci-dessus est susceptible de varier le temps de parcours du tronçon cadenceur S2 par les cabines 14 et par les sièges 15, pour imposer un cadencement différentiel avec une première cadence prédéterminée de défilement des cabines 14 et une deuxième cadence prédéterminée de défilement des sièges 15. D'autre part, le tronçon cadenceur S2 impose une troisième cadence prédéterminée de défilement à un véhicule 14, 15 parcourant ledit tronçon cadenceur S2, lorsque le véhicule 14, 15 précédent est d'un type différent dudit véhicule 14, 15, la troisième cadence prédéterminée étant comprise entre les première et deuxième cadences prédéterminées. Les première, deuxième et troisième cadences prédéterminées correspondent à un intervalle de temps entre un véhicule 14, 15 sortant du tronçon cadenceur S2 et le véhicule précédent, vu dans le sens de déplacement. A chaque passage d'un véhicule 14, 15, l'intervalle de temps à obtenir en sortie du tronçon cadenceur S2 par rapport au véhicule précédent est déterminé par l'unité de commande 31 avant le parcours du tronçon cadenceur S2 par ledit véhicule, en fonction du type dudit véhicule et du type dudit véhicule précédent. Les cadences prédéterminées sont modulées en fonction de la vitesse du câble aérien 10 par l'intermédiaire du signal d'horloge 36.Therefore, the timer section S2 is equipped with a timer means constituted by the
Cette disposition permet d'adapter l'intervalle de temps entre deux véhicules 14 ,15 successifs d'un même type en fonction de la distance physique nécessaire entre deux véhicules d'un même type pour éviter leur tamponnement dans les tronçons S1 et S2. Ainsi, il devient possible de prévoir des trains de cabines 14 successives sans que cela n'abaisse considérablement le débit d'usagers. La combinaison d'échelonnement des véhicules 14, 15 sur le câble aérien 10 peut être personnalisée à souhait. Les cabines 14 sont plus éloignées entre elles que les sièges 15 entre eux. L'intervalle de temps entre deux sièges 15 est représenté t1 sur les
Un tronçon cadenceur S2 selon l'invention permet d'augmenter le débit d'usagers en optimisant l'intervalle de temps entre deux véhicules 14, 15 successifs en fonction de la distance physique tout juste nécessaire entre ces deux véhicules 14, 15, en fonction de leur type respectif, pour éviter leur tamponnement dans les tronçons S1 et S2. La longueur du tronçon cadenceur S2 est choisie pour être suffisante pour compenser les écarts maximaux susceptibles de se produire. La cadence associée à un véhicule 14, 15 est rétablie à chaque passage du tronçon cadenceur S2.A timing section S2 according to the invention makes it possible to increase the user flow rate by optimizing the time interval between two
Dans la majorité des cas, les écarts de répartition sont faibles et il suffit d'équiper l'une des deux stations d'embarquement/débarquement 11, 12 d'un tronçon cadenceur S2 selon l'invention, qui est de préférence disposé à l'arrivée de la voie 16, 17 la moins utilisée.In the majority of the cases, the differences of distribution are weak and it is enough to equip one of the two loading / unloading
L'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit. Elle peut être appliquée à différents types de cadenceurs, le mode de mise en oeuvre devant être adapté au type de cadenceur utilisé. Le tronçon cadenceur S2 peut être agencé à un endroit quelconque du circuit de transfert 18. Avec une gestion adaptée de la mémoire de l'unité de commande 31, le moyen de détection 35 peut être agencé en un point quelconque de la trajectoire des véhicules 14, 15 sur toute l'installation de transport. La forme du tronçon de contour C peut être quelconque et reproduire, par exemple, les enseignements des demandes de
