Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Befördern von Personen und/oder Gegenständen mit einem antriebslosen Laufwerk, das entlang eines Fahrweges geschoben oder mittels eines Zugseiles gezogen wird, mit wenigstens einem Verbraucher für elektrische Energie und mit einem elektrischen Energiespeicher, wobei eine Vorrichtung zur Gewinnung elektrischer Energie aus der Relativbewegung zwischen Laufwerk und Fahrweg und zum Speichern der gewonnenen Energie im elektrischen Energiespeicher vorgesehen ist und wobei das Laufwerk über Laufrollen am Fahrweg läuft. Eine gattungsbildende Einrichtung ist aus der DE 31 09 294 A1 bekannt.The invention relates to a device for transporting people and / or objects with a non-driven drive, which is pushed along a track or pulled by a pull cable, with at least one consumer for electrical energy and an electrical energy storage, wherein a device for obtaining electrical energy is provided from the relative movement between the drive and track and for storing the energy gained in the electrical energy storage and wherein the drive via rollers running on the track. A generic device is from the DE 31 09 294 A1 known.

Derartige Einrichtungen sind zum Beispiel Kabinen von Seilschwebebahnen und Standseilbahnen. Da die Laufwerke der Kabinen von Seilschwebebahnen und Standseilbahnen keine eigenen Antriebe aufweisen, da sie Mithilfe von Seilen gezogen werden, weisen sie nicht notwendigerweise eine externe elektrische Energieversorgung auf. Während eine elektrische Energieversorgung von Seilschwebebahnen auf der Strecke zwischen den Seilbahnstationen nahezu unmöglich ist, wäre dies bei Standseilbahnen zwar möglich, jedoch mit einem erheblichen Aufwand verbunden, da entlang der gesamten Strecke eine Stromschiene vorhanden sein müsste, um elektrische Verbraucher permanent von außen mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen.Such devices are, for example, cabins of cable cars and funicular railways. Since the drives of the cable cars of cable cars and funiculars do not have their own drives, as they are pulled with the help of ropes, they do not necessarily have an external electrical power supply. While an electrical power supply of cable cars on the route between the cable car stations is almost impossible, this would be possible with funicular, but associated with considerable effort, as along the entire route a busbar should be present to electrical loads permanently from the outside with electrical energy to supply.

Elektrische Verbraucher können im Rahmen der Erfindung Multimediaeinrichtungen, Beleuchtungen, Antriebe für Kabinentüren, Messeinrichtungen, Motoren zum Drehen von Kabinen, Einrichtungen zur aktiven Pendeldämpfung, Antriebe für ein aktive Fahrwerke für Kurvenfahrten, Klimaanlagen oder Heizeinrichtungen, z.B. Sitzheizungen oder Fußbodenheizungen, sein, wobei diese Aufzählung lediglich beispielhaft und nicht vollständig ist.For the purposes of the invention, electrical consumers may include multimedia devices, lighting, cabin door operators, measuring equipment, cabin rotation motors, active pendulum damping devices, cornering active cornering drives, air conditioners or heaters, e.g. Seat heaters or underfloor heating, be, this list is merely exemplary and not exhaustive.

Es ist im Stand der Technik zwar bekannt, Kabinen von Seilbahnen mit elektrischen Energiespeichern wie Akkumulatoren auszustatten, um elektrische Verbraucher auf der Strecke mit Strom zu versorgen, jedoch müssen diese Energiespeicher bei Verbrauchern mit höherer Leistung relativ groß ausgeführt sein und die Ladeleistung in den Stationen muss insbesondere bei kurzen Aufenthalten ebenfalls sehr groß sein, was technisch nur relativ aufwändig zu realisieren ist.Although it is known in the art to equip cable car cabins with electrical energy storage devices such as accumulators to power electrical loads on the line, however, these energy storage devices must be relatively large in consumers with higher power and must have charging power in the stations especially for short stays also be very large, which is technically relatively complex to implement.

Aus der US 2006/249320 A1 ist eine Stromversorgung für selbstangetriebene oder handgezogene Transportmittel bekannt, die innerhalb eines Gebäudes verwendet werden sollen. Aus der EP 1 151 906 A ist eine Stromversorgung für einen Eisenbahnwaggon bekannt. Die GB 1 460 106 A offenbart ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einem mittels einem Hilfsmotor angetriebenen Fahrwerk.From the US 2006/249320 A1 is a power supply for self-propelled or hand-drawn means of transport to be used within a building. From the EP 1 151 906 A is a power supply for a railroad car known. The GB 1 460 106 A discloses a rail vehicle with a powered by an auxiliary motor chassis.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Einrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit welcher auf technisch einfache Weise eine Stromversorgung elektrischer Verbraucher gewährleistet werden kann.The invention is based on the object to provide a device of the type described above, with which a technically simple way a power supply electrical consumers can be guaranteed.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Einrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 oder 2.This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1 or 2.

Die Erfindung mach sich die Tatsache zu Nutze, dass durch die Relativbewegung zwischen Farhrweg, also z. B. den Tragseilen bei Seilschwebebahnen oder den Schienen von Standseilbahnen, und Laufwerk problemlos Energie gewonnen werden kann.The invention takes advantage of the fact that by the relative movement between Farhrweg, ie z. As the suspension ropes in cable cars or the rails of funicular railways, and drive energy can be obtained easily.

Wenn das Laufwerk über Laufrollen am Fahrweg läuft, kann mit wenigstens einer Laufrolle ein Generator verbunden sein, durch den die elektrische Energie gewonnen wird. Es ist in diesem Fall nur erforderlich, eine oder mehrere der ohnedies vorhandenen Laufrollen mit einem Generator zu verbinden.If the drive runs over rollers on the track, with at least one roller, a generator can be connected, through which the electrical energy is obtained. In this case, it is only necessary to connect one or more of the already existing rollers to a generator.

Alternativ kann am Laufwerk wenigstens ein Reibrad angeordnet sein, das mit dem Fahrweg in reibschlüssiger Verbindung steht, wobei das Reibrad mit einem Radnabengenerator verbunden ist. Diese Alternativ bietet den Vorteil, dass existierende und optimierte Laufwerkskon-struktionen hinsichtlich der Lagerung der Laufräder nicht geändert werden müssen, da für den Antrieb des Radnabengenerators ein oder mehrere separate Reibräder verwendet werden, die ebenfalls am Laufwerk gelagert sind.Alternatively, at least one friction wheel can be arranged on the drive, which is in frictional connection with the travel path, wherein the friction wheel is connected to a wheel hub generator. This alternative offers the advantage that existing and optimized drive designs need not be changed with regard to the bearing of the wheels, since one or more separate friction wheels, which are likewise mounted on the drive, are used to drive the wheel hub generator.

Der Radnabengenerator kann in der Laufrolle oder im Reibrad angeordnet sein. Alternativ kann der Radnabengenerator auch an die Welle der Laufrolle oder des Reibrades angebaut sein.The wheel hub generator can be arranged in the roller or in the friction wheel. Alternatively, the wheel hub generator can also be mounted on the shaft of the roller or the friction wheel.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung, in der ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung in Form einer Kabine einer Seilschwebebahn dargestellt ist.Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which a preferred embodiment of an inventive device is shown in the form of a cabin of a cable car.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß angeschlossener Zeichnung weist, wie im Stand der Technik üblich, ein Laufwerk 2 auf, welches über Laufrollen 3 auf einem Tragseil 4 zwischen zwei Seilbahnstationen pendelt oder umläuft. Es ist im Rahmen der Erfindung natürlich auch möglich, dass das Laufwerk 2 über zwei parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Tragseile 4 läuft, da die Erfindung nicht auf eine bestimmte Zahl oder Anordnung von Tragseilen 4 beschränkt ist.The inventive device of the embodiment according to the accompanying drawing, as is common in the prior art, a drive 2, which shuttles or rolls over rollers 3 on a support cable 4 between two cable car stations. It is of course also possible within the scope of the invention that the drive 2 runs over two supporting cables 4 arranged parallel to one another, since the invention is not restricted to a specific number or arrangement of carrying cables 4.

Angetrieben wird das Laufwerk 2 mittels eines Zugseiles 5, an welchem das Laufwerk 2 mittels einer geeigneten, im Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannten Klemmeinrichtung 6 befestigt ist.The drive 2 is driven by means of a pull cable 5, to which the drive 2 is fastened by means of a suitable clamping device 6 which is well known in the prior art.

Vom Laufwerk 2 ist eine Kabine 7 mit Hilfe eines Gehängearmes 8 abgehängt, wobei der Gehängearm 8 mit dem Laufwerk 2 über ein Gelenk 9 und mit der Kabine 7 über Aufhängungen 10 verbunden ist, damit die Kabine 7 immer möglichst gerade unter dem Laufwerk 2 hängt.From the drive 2, a car 7 is suspended by means of a hanger arm 8, wherein the hanger arm 8 is connected to the drive 2 via a hinge 9 and with the car 7 via suspensions 10 so that the car 7 always hangs as straight as possible under the drive 2.

Am Laufwerk 2 sind zusätzlich zu den Laufrädern 3 zwei Reibräder 11 gelagert, welche mit dem Tragseil 4 in reibschlüssiger Verbindung stehen. In jedem der Reibräder 11 ist ein Radnabengenerator eingebaut, der die Drehbewegung der Reibräder 11 in elektrische Energie umwandelt. Natürlich wäre es auch möglich, an die Wellen der Reibräder 11 Generatoren anzubauen oder für mehrere Reibräder 11 einen gemeinsamen Generator vorzusehen, der über mechanische Verbindungen oder Getriebe mit den Reibrädern 11 verbunden ist. Je nach Höhe der zu erzeugenden elektrischen Leistung kann auch nur ein Reibrad 11 oder mehr als zwei Reibräder 11 verwendet werden, um die mechanische Belastung und den Verschleiß des oder der Reibräder 11 zu optimieren.On the drive 2, two friction wheels 11 are mounted in addition to the wheels 3, which are in frictional connection with the support cable 4. In each of the friction wheels 11, a hub generator is installed, which converts the rotational movement of the friction wheels 11 into electrical energy. Of course, it would also be possible to grow generators on the shafts of the friction wheels 11 or to provide a common generator for a plurality of friction wheels 11 which is connected to the friction wheels 11 via mechanical connections or gears. Depending on the amount of electrical power to be generated, only one friction wheel 11 or more than two friction wheels 11 can be used in order to optimize the mechanical load and the wear of the friction wheel or wheels 11.

Von den Radnabengeneratoren führen elektrische Leitungen 12 entlang des Gehängearmes 8 nach unten zu einer Steuerung 13, welche einerseits das Laden eines Energiespeichers 14, z.B. eines Akkumulators, und andererseits die Versorgung eines elektrischen Verbrauchers 15 steuert. Über die Steuerung 13 kann entweder immer der Energiespeicher 14 vom Generator gespeist werden und die Verbraucher 15 dann mit der im Energiespeicher 14 gespeicherten Energie, oder ein oder mehrere Verbraucher 15 direkt. Auch eine parallele Speisung vom Energiespeicher 14 und Verbraucher 15 ist möglich. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu beispielsweise einem oder mehreren Akkumulatoren 14 können auch noch ein oder mehrere Kondensatoren als Energiespeicher verwendet werden, welche hinsichtlich der Kapazität sowie Lade- und Entladungsgeschwindigkeit andere Eigenschaften als Akkumulatoren aufweisen und daher in Verbindung mit bestimmten Verbrauchern geeignetere Eigenschaften aufweisen können.From the wheel hub generators, electrical leads 12 lead along the hanger arm 8 down to a controller 13, which on the one hand charges the charging of an energy store 14, e.g. an accumulator, and on the other hand, the supply of an electrical load 15 controls. The controller 13 can either always the energy storage 14 are powered by the generator and the consumer 15 then with the energy stored in the energy storage 14, or one or more consumers 15 directly. A parallel supply of energy storage 14 and 15 consumers is possible. As an alternative or in addition to, for example, one or more accumulators 14, it is also possible to use one or more capacitors as energy stores, which have different properties in terms of capacity and charging and discharging speed than accumulators and can therefore have more suitable properties in connection with certain consumers.

Die über die Reibräder 11 abgenommene Energie muss zwar vom Hauptantrieb, mit dem das Laufwerk 2 mit Hilfe des Zugseiles 5 angetrieben wird, zusätzlich aufgebracht werden, jedoch ist diese zusätzliche Leistung in der Regel sehr gering im Vergleich zur Hauptantriebsleistung, so dass mit einer Verteuerung des Hauptantriebs nicht zu rechnen ist, wogegen durch die Erfindung eine sehr einfache und wirkungsvolle Möglichkeit zur Verfügung gestellt wird, das Fahrzeug 1 während der gesamten Fahrzeit mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen.Although the energy taken over the friction wheels 11 must be additionally applied by the main drive with which the drive 2 is driven by means of the pull cable 5, this additional power is generally very small in comparison with the main drive power. so that an increase in the cost of the main drive is not expected, whereas the invention provides a very simple and effective way to provide the vehicle 1 with electrical energy during the entire journey time.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wurde in Verbindung mit einer Kabine einer Seilschwebebahn erläutert, jedoch ist die Erfindung nicht auf Seilschwebebahnen beschränkt, sondern kann beispielsweise auch bei Standseilbahnen verwendet werden, wobei die Reibräder dann beispielsweise mit den Schienen der Standseilbahnen in reibschlüssiger Verbindung stehen. Die Erfindung ist aber auch bei anderen Einrichtungen zum Befördern von Personen, wie Vergnügungseinrichtungen, einsetzbar, welche über keinen eigenen Antrieb verfügen und entweder permanent geschoben oder gezogen werden oder wie z. B. Achterbahnen nur temporär durch einen Antrieb auf ein höheres Niveau gefördert werden und anschließend durch die Schwerkraft angetrieben eine Bahn entlang fahren und während dessen durch die Erfindung auf einfache Weise mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden können.The present invention has been explained in connection with a cabin of a cable car, but the invention is not limited to cable cars, but can for example be used in funicular railways, the friction wheels are then, for example, in frictional connection with the rails of the funicular railways. However, the invention can also be used in other facilities for transporting persons, such as amusement devices, which have no own drive and either pushed or pulled permanently or z. B. roller coasters are only temporarily promoted by a drive to a higher level and then driven by gravity drive along a train and during which can be supplied by the invention in a simple manner with electrical energy.
