Description

  • The present invention relates to a system for monitoring a cableway, and in particular for monitoring closure of cableway vehicle doors.
  • As is known, correct closure and locking of the doors of cableway vehicles, such as shuttle cable cars, cable railway cars, etc., are essential to ensure in-service safety of passengers.
  • For this reason, cableway cars are equipped with a locking mechanism activated by the driver before starting the car.
  • Correct operation of the car door locking mechanism is normally controlled by a toggle switch which is connected to the door locking mechanism, is activated automatically when the door locking mechanism is operated, and remains in a given position, indicating the car doors are locked, as long as the doors remain closed and the locking mechanism is activated. Correct operation and monitoring the setting of the toggle switch are essential to ensure the car doors are closed and locked when the car is running.
  • To improve the safety of cableways, a need is felt to remote monitor the toggle switch settings of all the cars in the cableway, so that immediate steps can be taken in the event of malfunctioning of the car door locking mechanism and/or the switches themselves.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a system for monitoring a cableway, and in particular for monitoring closure and locking of cableway vehicle doors.
  • According to the present invention, there is provided a system for monitoring a cableway, as claimed in the accompanying Claims.
  • A preferred, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1 shows an example of a cableway;
    • Figure 2 shows details of a cableway featuring the monitoring system according to the invention.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a shuttle cableway, and more specifically a cableway comprising a bottom arrival/departure station 2, a top arrival/departure station 3, an up cable branch 4, a down cable branch 5, a passenger car 6a, and a passenger car 6b.
  • More specifically, as shown in Figure 2, each of cars 6a, 6b comprises:
    • doors, e.g. sliding doors, 7;
    • a locking mechanism 8 (only shown schematically in Figure 2) for locking doors 7; and
    • a toggle switch 9 connected to locking mechanism 8 of doors 7, e.g. by a connecting cable 10.
  • For the sake of simplicity, the monitoring system according to the invention will be described with reference to Figure 2, which shows one of the two cars, e.g. car 6a, standing in one of the two arrival/departure stations, e.g. bottom station 2.
  • As shown in Figure 2, the monitoring system according to the invention comprises:
    • a transmitting-receiving device 11 housed in each of cars 6a and 6b (for the sake of simplicity, Figure 2 only shows car 6a) and connected to toggle switch 9 of the car, e.g. by a connecting cable 12;
    • a signal transmitting device 13;
    • a transmitting-receiving unit 15 with an antenna 14; and
    • a control and processing unit 17 connected, preferably by a cable 16, to transmitting-receiving unit 15.
  • More specifically, each station 2, 3 is equipped with a signal transmitting device 13, a transmitting-receiving unit 15, and a control and processing unit 17.
  • When doors 7 are closed and locking mechanism 8 activated, toggle switches 9 are activated automatically and remain in a given position, indicating doors 7 are closed and locked, as long as the doors remain closed and locking mechanism 8 is activated.
  • Whenever it is activated, each toggle switch 9 transmits, to the transmitting-receiving device 11 to which it is connected, a signal Sclosed indicating it is activated and the car doors 7 are locked.
  • Each transmitting-receiving device 11 contains an identification code which is memorized inside it and uniquely identifies the car fitted with transmitting-receiving device 11, e.g. car 6a in Figure 2. Each transmitting-receiving device 11 is configured to transmit a radio signal S1 of given frequency, e.g. 868 MHz, and of a range ranging between a distance D1, e.g. 1 metre, between transmitting-receiving device 11 and antenna 14 when cars 6a, 6b are stopped at stations 2, 3, and a given maximum distance D2, e.g. 25 m, between cars 6a, 6b and stations 2, 3.
  • Antenna 14 is therefore still able to receive signal S1 even after cars 6a, 6b have left stations 2, 3.
  • Each signal transmitting device 13 at stations 2 and 3 is configured to continuously transmit a radio signal S2 of given frequency, e.g. 125 kHz, and of a maximum range substantially equal to the distance between signal transmitting device 13 and transmitting-receiving device 11 when cars 6a, 6b are standing in stations 2, 3.
  • That is, by appropriately calculating the maximum range of signal S2, signal S2 is only received by the transmitting-receiving device 11 of the car actually standing in the same station as transmitting-receiving device 13, e.g. by transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a in Figure 2.
  • More specifically, radio signal S2 contains an identification code uniquely identifying the station in which device 13 is installed.
  • Operation of the monitoring system according to the invention will now be described with reference to Figure 2.
  • As car 6a reaches arrival/departure station 2, transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a is supplied by transmitting device 13 at station 2 with radio signal S2 containing the identification code of station 2.
  • As long as doors 7 remain closed and locking mechanism 8 is activated, transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a therefore sends antenna 14 a signal S1 containing:
    • the identification code of transmitting-receiving device 11;
    • the information in signal Sclosed, transmitted by toggle switch 9, indicating the car doors 7 are locked; and
    • the identification code contained in the received radio signal S2 and uniquely identifying station 2 in which car 6a is standing.
  • Antenna 14 transmits signal S1 to transmitting-receiving unit 15, which sends it over cable 16 to control and processing unit 17, which displays the information in signal S1 and informs the operator that car 6a is standing in station 2 with doors 7 locked.
  • When doors 7 of car 6a standing in station 2 are opened, transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a continues receiving radio signal S2, containing the identification code of station 2, from transmitting device 13 at station 2, but stops receiving signal Sclosed which, doors 7 being open, is no longer transmitted by toggle switch 9.
  • In which case, signal S1 transmitted by transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a to antenna 14 only contains:
    • the identification code of transmitting-receiving device 11; and
    • the identification code contained in the received radio signal S2 and uniquely identifying station 2 in which car 6a is standing.
  • Antenna 14 transmits signal S1 to transmitting-receiving unit 15, which sends it over cable 16 to control and processing unit 17, which displays the information in signal S1 and informs the operator that car 6a is still standing in station 2, but with doors 7 open.
  • When doors 7 of car 6a are closed again, and car 6a leaves station 2 and moves outside the range of signal S2 transmitted by transmitting device 13, transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a no longer receives radio signal S2, and only receives signal Sclosed transmitted by toggle switch 9 when doors 7 were closed.
  • As car 6a moves away from station 2, and as long as car 6a is at a distance from station 2 within the maximum transmission range of signal S1, transmitting-receiving device 11 of car 6a therefore sends antenna 14 a signal S1 containing:
    • the identification code of transmitting-receiving device 11; and
    • the information in signal Sclosed, transmitted by toggle switch 9, indicating the car doors 7 are locked.
  • Antenna 14 transmits signal S1 to transmitting-receiving unit 15, which sends it over cable 16 to control and processing unit 17, which displays the information in signal S1 and informs the operator that car 6a has left station 2, and doors 7 are locked.
  • When the distance between car 6a and station 2 exceeds the maximum transmission range of signal S1, antenna 14 no longer receives signal S1.
  • Antenna 14 therefore transmits no signal S1 to transmitting-receiving unit 15, and control and processing unit 17 informs the operator that car 6a is travelling towards station 3 and that, on the basis of the previously received signal S1, doors 7 are still locked.
  • The advantages of the cable transportation vehicle monitoring system according to the present invention will be clear from the above description.
  • The system according to the invention increases the safety of cableways by remotely monitoring the door locking mechanisms of all the vehicles in the cableway, and, in particular, enables immediate steps to be taken in the event of malfunctioning of the vehicle door locking mechanisms.
  • Moreover, the monitoring system described can also be applied to cableways in which the cars are slowed down, as opposed to being stopped, at the arrival/departure station.
  • Clearly, changes may be made to the monitoring system as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the accompanying Claims.
