Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable air transport installation for passengers: chairlifts, gondolas and others.
  • such a transport facility comprises at least one carrier and tractor cable forming a loop between a departure station and an arrival station, an undetermined number of seats or cabins able to be attached to said cable removably and at a predetermined distance from each other, a drive device driving the rotating cable and several towers for supporting the cable along the path.
  • the support pylons generally comprise a concrete footing buried in the ground, a vertical structure attached to the said concrete footing and a horizontal structure carrying pulleys where the cable scrolls dragging the seats or cabins.
  • the stations include at least one concrete pillar where the station vessel is fixed, a driving wheel in the power station, which is normally the departure station, and a reversing wheel in the direction of the cable in the return station , which is normally the arrival station.
  • the said transport facility operates at a constant distance relative to the ground, generally considerable heights along the entire route.
  • the seats or cabins are more exposed to their effects, which reduces the safety of the passengers.
  • the object of the invention is to solve the problems reported above.
  • This system makes it possible to adjust the vehicles to several levels relative to the ground, since the whole installation can accompany the morphology of the ground, so as to cancel the risks of the strong winds and to increase the safety of the users.
  • This system also makes it easier to rescue users when necessary, once with the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system vehicles can be placed at ground level at any point of the route.
  • Another advantage of the invention derives from the fact that no one can currently guarantee, at the beginning of each day, the required levels of safety in the whole of the course, a situation that is quite often found in ski resorts.
  • the invention allows the installation to operate up to where the safety can be guaranteed, creating a platform of snow and lowering the installation to the desired levels. In this way the loss of revenue for the exploiting company becomes lower.
  • One of the key elements of the invention is a pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system that moves the support towers and the stations up and down as required.
  • the cylinders that compose it must be made of steel and a protective fuselage must wrap the system. This fuselage will necessarily telescopic itself to accompany the movements of the system that is in its interior.
  • the other key element of the invention are the detectors to be placed in the seats or cabins.
  • Each seat or cab must carry two detectors, one on the left and the other on the right side of the vehicle, both facing the direction of movement of the installation.
  • the reading angle of the two detectors must include the full width of the seats or cabins.
  • These detectors are intended to analyze the ground levels along the route when the installation operates at a reduced distance from the ground, to have the support towers adjusted to the appropriate level and, consequently, to ensure that the vehicles do not collide with each other. possible obstacles.
  • the mechanism of interaction between these two elements is as follows: the detectors detect an obstacle, send the information to the central unit and the latter, in turn, actuates the support pylons, according to the programmed guidelines, with the cable and the vehicles that it supports.
  • the figure 1 represents the vertical structure 1 of the support tower 10 of a cable transport installation 20.
  • the vertical structure 1 comprises several cylinders 2A to 2F with different diameters.
  • the cylinder of the base 2A having the largest diameter is fixed, the next cylinder 2B has a smaller diameter to be able to operate in the cylinder of the base 2A and so on.
  • the fixed base 2A of the vertical structure 1 is fixed to the concrete base (3) by a fastener 4 by means of screws.
  • the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 receives at its end the horizontal support structure 8 which, in turn, holds the pulleys 7 for the running of the cable 6, the seats 17 or the cabins 19.
  • the horizontal support structure 8 is attached to the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 of the vertical structure 1 by means of an interlocking attachment 9 and fixing screws to increase the resistance.
  • This horizontal structure 8 undergoes a modification as regards the pulleys 7, presenting two rows of pulleys 7 instead of one, an upper row and a lower row. aligned so that the cable 6 scrolls between them.
  • the cable 6, which runs between the two rows of pulleys 7, undergoes a certain pressure, either by the lower pulleys 7 or by the upper pulleys 7, accompanying the movement of the towers 10. Consequently the probability of the cable 6 coming off is practically nil.
  • the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 must be wrapped by a protective fuselage.
  • This fuselage 5, itself also telescopic, will also be steel having a cylindrical and hollow shape.
  • the cylinder 5A operates outside the fixed base 2A and the cylinder 5B operates outside the cylinder 5A. However the cylinder 5C operates inside the cylinder 5B and so on.
  • the whole fuselage operates in a rail.
  • the entire transport installation 20 must function as a unit, as a whole, either in the upward direction or in the downward direction or with the flexibility that the tension of the cable 6 allows it.
  • the tension of the cable 6 can be compensated with the insertion of the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 in the stations 14, 16, although other methods of compensation can be applied.
  • the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 is fixed between the pillar or the concrete pillars 11 and the structure 12 which supports the vessel 15 of the station 14, 16 by means of an attachment U and screws 13 with the dimensions required by the structure. It is attached to the upper part of the concrete pillar 11 by the same technical process used for attaching the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 to the concrete footing 3.
  • the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 does not need dimensions such as those it has in the support pylons 10, once the function of the telescopic system 2 in the stations 14, 16 is to compensate for the voltage cable 6 up or down as needed.
  • the pneumatic or hydraulic telescopic system 2 is always inserted between the concrete pillar 11 and the vessel 15 of the station, independently of the type of station 14,16.
  • the detectors 18 are applied in the seats 17 or cabins 19 in a shielded box to protect them. Two detectors 18 must be applied in each vehicle 17,19, one on the left and one on the right side of the vehicle, both facing the direction of movement. The reading angle of the detectors must include the entire width of the seats 17 or cabins 19.
