Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft eine Seilbahnanlage mit einer Talstation und mit mindestens einer Bergstation, mit einem Trag- und Förderseil, welches in den Stationen über Umlenkscheiben geführt ist, von welchen mindestens eine angetrieben ist, mit Seilbahnkabinen, welche in den Stationen vom Trag- und Förderseil abgekuppelt und längs einer Führungsschiene durch die Stationen hindurch bewegt werden, wobei sie in Ein- und Ausstiegsbereichen von den Passagieren bestiegen bzw. verlassen werden und mit mindestens zwei im Verlauf der Führungsschiene vorgesehenen Weichen, durch welche Seilbahnkabinen einer ersten Gruppe längs einer ersten Führungsbahn und Seilbahnkabinen einer zweiten Gruppe längs einer zweiten Führungsbahn durch den mindestens einen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich in der betreffenden Station hindurch bewegt werden.The subject invention relates to a cable car system with a valley station and with at least one mountain station, with a support and hoisting rope, which is guided in the stations via deflecting disks, of which at least one is driven, with cable car cabins, which in the stations of the support and hoisting rope uncoupled and moved along a guide rail through the stations, being boarded and / or exited by the passengers in entry and exit areas and with at least two provided in the course of the guide rail switches, by which cable car cabins a first group along a first guideway and cable car cabins a second group are moved along a second guideway through the at least one entry and exit area in the station in question.

Eine derartige Seilbahnanlage, welche aus der EP-A1 1849674 bekannt ist, ist mit Sesseln für die Beförderung von Skifahrern mit angeschnallten Skiern und mit Seilbahnkabinen für die Beförderung von Skifahrern ohne angeschnallte Skier ausgebildet, wobei die Seilbahnkabinen durch denjenigen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich, welcher von den Passagieren ohne angeschnallte Skier benützt wird, mit einer gegenüber den Seilbahnkäbinen zugeordneten Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich vergrößerten Geschwindigkeit hindurch bewegt werden. Bei dieser bekannten Seilbahnanlage sind die beiden Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiche voneinander räumlich getrennt.Such a cable car system, which from the EP-A1 1849674 is known, is formed with armchairs for the carriage of skiers with strapped skis and with cable car cabins for the carriage of skiers without belted skis, the cable car cabins by the entry and exit area, which is used by the passengers without strapped skis, with a opposite the cableway kegs associated with entry and exit area increased speed are moved through. In this known cable car system, the two entry and exit areas are spatially separated from each other.

Aus der FR-2752803 ist weiters eine Seilbahnanlage bekannt, bei welcher ausschließlich Seilbahnkabinen vorgesehen sind, wobei diese Seilbahnkabinen in den Stationen abwechselnd längs zweier Bahnen bewegt werden und jeder dieser Bahnen ein eigener Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsbereich zugeordnet ist. Dabei sind eine innere Bewegungsbahn und eine äußere Bewegungsbahn vorgesehen, wobei zwischen diesen beiden Bewegungsbahnen ein der inneren Bewegungsbahn zugeordneter erster Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich vorgesehen ist und außerhalb der äußeren Bewegungsbahn ein dieser zugeordneter zweiter Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsbereich vorgesehen ist. Sämtliche Seilbahnkabinen sind mit einer einzigen Türe versehen, welche sich in der jeweils dem zugeordneten Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsbereich befindlichen Seitenwand der Seilbahnkabine befindet.From the FR-2752803 Furthermore, a cable car system is known, in which only cable car cabins are provided, these cable car cabins are alternately moved in the stations along two tracks and each of these tracks is assigned its own entry or exit area. In this case, an inner trajectory and an outer trajectory are provided, wherein between the two trajectories of the inner trajectory associated first entry and exit area is provided and outside of the outer trajectory of these associated second entry or exit area is provided. All cable car cabins are provided with a single door, which is located in each of the associated entry and exit area located side wall of the cable car cabin.

Der gegenständlichen Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Anzahl derjenigen Seilbahnkabinen, welche den Passagieren im Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich zur Verfügung stehen, zu verdoppeln, ohne dass hierfür ein zusätzlicher Raumbedarf besteht bzw. wodurch eine bauliche Vereinfachung erzielt wird. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass den beiden Gruppen der Seilbahnkabinen ein gemeinsamer Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich für die Passagiere zugeordnet ist, welcher sich zwischen den beiden Führungsbahnen befindet, wobei sich die Ein- bzw. Ausstiegstüren der ersten Gruppe der Seilbahnkabinen auf einer ersten Seite derselben und die Ein- bzw. Ausstiegstüren der zweiten Gruppe der Seilbahnkabinen auf einer zweiten Seite derselben befinden, sodass sie dem gemeinsamen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich zugewandt sind bzw. wobei zumindest ein Teil der Seilbahnkabinen auf beiden Seiten mit Türen ausgebildet ist und jeweils die dem Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich zugewandten Türen geöffnet werden.The objective of the present invention is to double the number of cable car cabins that are available to passengers in the entry and exit areas without the need for additional space, or as a result of which a structural simplification is achieved. This object is achieved in that the two groups of cable car cabins a common entry and exit area is associated with the passengers, which is located between the two guideways, wherein the entry and exit doors of the first group of cable car cabins on a first side thereof and the entry and exit doors of the second group of cable car cabins are on a second side thereof so that they face the common entry and exit area, or wherein at least part of the cable car cabins are formed with doors on both sides, and in each case the doors facing the entry and exit area are opened.

Hierdurch wird in einfacher Weise die Förderkapazität einer Seilbahnanlage vergrößert, ohne dass hierfür ein weiterer Platzbedarf besteht und wird für die Passagiere der Einstiegsvorgang deshalb erleichtert, da eine verdoppelte Anzahl von Seilbahnkabinen zur Verfügung steht.As a result, the conveying capacity of a cable car system is increased in a simple manner, without requiring further space and is therefore easier for the passengers of the entry process, since a doubled number of cable car cabins is available.

Vorzugsweise werden durch den Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich gleichzeitig mehrere Seilbahnkabinen der beiden Gruppen mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0,25 m/sec hindurch bewegt. Weiters ist vorzugsweise im Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich die Bewegung der Passagiere zu den Seilbahnkabinenn hin bzw. von den Seilbahnkabinenn weg entgegen der Bewegung der Seilbahnkabinen gerichtet.Preferably, several cable car cabins of the two groups are simultaneously moved through the entry and exit area at a speed of about 0.25 m / sec. Furthermore, in the entry and exit areas, the movement of the passengers towards the cable car cabins and away from the cable car cabins is preferably directed counter to the movement of the cable car cabins.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind in der Bewegungsbahn der Seilbahnkabinen durch die Station hindurch mindestens drei Paare von einander zugeordneten Weichen vorgesehen, wodurch vier Führungsbahnen gebildet sind, wobei zwei Führungsbahnen jeweils ein gemeinsamer Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich zugeordnet ist, welcher sich zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Führungsbahn und zwischen der dritten und der vierten Führungsbahn befindet.According to a further embodiment, at least three pairs of mutually associated points are provided in the trajectory of the cable car cabins, whereby four guideways are formed, wherein two guideways are each assigned a common entry and exit area, which is between the first and the second Guideway and located between the third and fourth guideway.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Seilbahnanlage ist nachstehend anhand von zwei in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

FIG.1 und FIG. 1a
eine erste Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Seilbahn- anlage, in Draufsicht und in Seitenansicht, und
FIG.2 und FIG.2a
eine zweite Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Seilbahn- anlage, in Draufsicht und in Seitenansicht.
A cableway system according to the invention is explained below with reference to two embodiments illustrated in the drawings. Show it:
FIG. 1 and FIG. 1a
a first embodiment of a cable car according to the invention, in plan view and in side view, and
FIG.2 and FIG.2a
a second embodiment of a cable car system according to the invention, in plan view and in side view.

In den FIG. 1 und FIG. 1a ist eine Station einer Seilbahnanlage dargestellt. Diese Seilbahnanlage weist ein Trag- und Förderseil 1 auf, welches in der Station über eine Umlenkscheibe 2 geführt ist. Dabei ist mindestens eine der in der Seilbahnanlage befindlichen Umlenkscheiben angetrieben. Weiters sind Seilbahnkabinen 3 vorgesehen, welche längs der Strecke der Seilbahnanlage an das Trag- und Förderseil 1 angekuppelt sind, wodurch sie von einer ersten Station, z.B. der Talstation, zu einer zweiten Station, z.B. der Bergstation, bewegbar sind.In the FIG. 1 and FIG. 1a is a station of a cable car system shown. This cable car system has a support and hoist rope 1, which is guided in the station via a deflecting plate 2. In this case, at least one of the deflection pulleys located in the cableway system is driven. Furthermore, cable car cabins 3 are provided, which are coupled along the route of the cable car system to the support and hoist rope 1, whereby they are from a first station, such as the valley station, to a second station, such as the mountain station, movable.

In den Stationen werden die Seilbahnkabinen 3 vom Trag- und Förderseil 1 abgekuppelt und in der Folge längs einer Führungsschiene 4, welche von Stützen 5 getragen ist, durch die Station hindurch bewegt. Das Trag- und Förderseil 1 wird mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 6 m/sec bewegt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Seilbahnkabinen 3 wird in den Stationen mittels Verzögerungsreifen 6 verzögert, worauf sie mittels Förderreifen 7 durch einen in der Station vorgesehenen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 für die Passagiere mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0,25 m/sec hindurch bewegt werden. Nach dem Verlassen des Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiches 10 werden die Seilbahnkabinen 3 mittels Beschleunigungsreifen 8 auf eine Geschwindigkeit von 6 m/sec beschleunigt, mit welcher Geschwindigkeit sie wieder an das Trag- und Förderseil 1 angekuppelt werden, worauf sie zu einer anderen Station hin bewegt werden.In the stations, the cable car cabins 3 are uncoupled from the carrying and hoisting rope 1 and subsequently moved along the guide rail 4, which is supported by supports 5, through the station. The carrying and conveying rope 1 is moved at a speed of about 6 m / sec. The speed of the cable car cabins 3 is delayed in the stations by means of deceleration tires 6, whereupon they are moved by means of conveyor tires 7 through a passenger entry and exit area 10 provided at the station at a speed of about 0.25 m / sec. After leaving the entry and exit area 10, the cable car cabins 3 are accelerated by means of accelerating tires 8 to a speed of 6 m / sec, at which speed they are again coupled to the carrying and conveying rope 1, whereupon they are moved to another station ,

Diese erläuterte Ausbildung ist aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung einer Station unterscheidet sich von bekannten Stationen dadurch, dass die Führungsschiene 4 im Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 mit zwei Bahnen ausgebildet ist, zwischen welchen sich der Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 befindet. Hierfür ist im Verlauf der Führungsschiene 4 eine erste Weiche 41 vorgesehen, an welche eine erste Führungsbahn 4a und eine zweite Führungsbahn 4b anschließen, wobei diese beiden Führungsbahnen 4a und 4b nach dem Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 über eine zweite Weiche 42 in die Führungsschiene 4 übergehen. Somit befindet sich der Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 zwischen den beiden Führungsbahnen 4a und 4b. Durch entsprechende Steuerung der Weiche 41 werden die einzelnen Seilbahnkabinen 3 entweder längs der ersten Führungsbahn 4a oder längs der zweiten Führungsbahn 4b bewegt. Damit die Seilbahnkabinen 3 von den sich im Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 befindlichen Passagieren betreten bzw. verlassen werden können, sind die Seilbahnkabinen 3 entweder mit einer Türe ausgebildet, welche sich auf der dem Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 zugewandten Seite der Seilbahnkabine 3 befindet, oder sind die Seilbahnkabinen 3 auf beiden Seiten mit jeweils einer Türe ausgebildet, wobei im Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage jeweils diejenige Türe geöffnet wird, welche dem Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10 zugewandt ist.This illustrated embodiment is known from the prior art. The inventive design of a station differs from known stations in that the guide rail 4 is formed in the entry and exit area 10 with two tracks, between which the entry and exit area 10 is located. For this purpose, a first turnout 41 is provided in the course of the guide rail 4, to which a first guide track 4a and a second guide track 4b connect, these two guide tracks 4a and 4b pass over the entry and exit area 10 via a second switch 42 in the guide rail 4 , Thus, the entry and exit area 10 between the two guideways 4a and 4b. By appropriate control of the switch 41, the individual cable car cabins 3 are moved either along the first guide track 4a or along the second guide track 4b. So that the cable car cabins 3 can be entered or left by the passengers located in the entry and exit area 10, the cable car cabins 3 are formed either with a door which is located on the side of the cable car cabin 3 facing the entry and exit area 10, or the cable car cabins 3 are formed on both sides, each with a door, wherein in the operation of the cable car each one door is opened, which faces the entry and exit area 10.

Durch diese Ausbildung der Station einer Seilbahnanlage stehen den Passagieren gegenüber bekannten Stationen doppelt so viele Seilbahnkabinen 3, welche bestiegen werden können, zur Verfügung, wodurch für die Passagiere der Einstiegsvorgang erleichtert wird, ohne dass hierfür ein weiterer Platzbedarf besteht. Die Richtung der Bewegung der Passagiere in den Einstiegsbereich 10 erfolgt dabei entgegen der Bewegungsrichtung der Seilbahnkabinen 3.As a result of this design of the station of a cable car installation, the passengers are at least twice as many cable car cabins 3, which can be boarded, which makes it easier for the passengers to board without any additional space requirement. The direction of movement of the passengers into the access area 10 takes place counter to the direction of movement of the cable car cabins 3.

Die in FIG.2 dargestellte Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform nach FIG.1 dadurch, dass in der Führungsschiene 4 drei Paare von Weichen 41a, 42a; 41b, 42b; 41c, 42c vorgesehen sind, wodurch insgesamt vier Führungsbahnen 4a, 4b, 4c und 4d gebildet sind, wobei sich zwischen einer ersten und einer zweiten Führungsbahn 4a, 4b ein erster Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10a und zwischen einer dritten und einer vierten Führungsbahn 4c, 4d ein zweiter Ein- und Ausstiegsbereich 10b befindet. Hierdurch kann die Förderkapazität der Seilbahnanlage noch weiter vergrößert werden.In the FIG.2 illustrated embodiment differs from the embodiment according to FIG.1 in that in the guide rail 4, three pairs of points 41a, 42a; 41b, 42b; 41c, 42c are provided, whereby a total of four guideways 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d, wherein between a first and a second guideway 4a, 4b, a first entry and exit area 10a and between a third and a fourth guideway 4c, 4d is a second entry and exit area 10b. As a result, the conveying capacity of the cable car system can be further increased.

Für den Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage sind Sensoren vorgesehen, durch welche die Weichen und die Förderreifen so gesteuert werden, dass Kollisionen zwischen den einzelnen Seilbahnkabinen vermieden werden.For the operation of the cableway system sensors are provided by which the switches and the conveyor tires are controlled so that collisions between the cable car cabins are avoided.
