Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transportation unit for a cable transportation system.
  • the present invention relates to a transportation unit which is moved in a travelling direction and comprises a suspension arm; a trolley connected to the suspension arm and which engages a rail at a turnaround station of the cable transportation system; and a chair connected to the suspension arm.
  • Transportation units of the above type are used for passenger transport, and the chair extends in width predominantly crosswise to the travelling direction.
  • transportation units now have a much larger capacity than in the past. More specifically, chair-lift chairs have gradually become wider and wider, to the point of now comprising eight seats in a row crosswise to the travelling direction.
  • This operating condition of the cable transportation system is acceptable up to a certain degree of tilt of the transportation unit, but becomes a problem when the transportation unit is detached from the cable, and the trolley engages a rail and is driven by an auxiliary drive device at the turnaround station.
  • the trolley engages the rail at relatively high speed, and, despite the lead-in of the rail, engagement produces a sharp change in the tilt angle of the transportation unit, including the chair, which is a major source of discomfort to passengers.
  • document FR 2,197,363 , EP 1,342 , 635 , EP 1,151 , 903 , and EP 1,640,235 suggests arranging an articulated joint assembly between the chair and the trolley.
  • the present invention also relates to a cable transportation system
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a cable transportation system comprising a cable 2 extending along an endless path; a number of transportation units 3 (only one shown in Figure 1 ); and two turnaround stations 4 (only one shown in Figure 1 ).
  • Turnaround station 4 comprises a rail 5 with three linear cams 6, 7, 8 extending along a given path; and a drive device (not shown) for driving transportation units 3 inside turnaround station 4.
  • Each transportation unit 3 is moved in a travelling direction D1 by cable 2 along the path portions between the two turnaround stations 4, and by the drive device (not shown) along the path portions at turnaround stations 4.
  • Each transportation unit 3 extends in width crosswise to travelling direction D1.
  • transportation unit 3 is shown being detached from cable 2, and engages rail 5 at turnaround station 4.
  • Each transportation unit 3 comprises a suspension arm 9; a trolley 10 connected to suspension arm 9 and supporting a clamp 11 for selectively engaging cable 2 (as shown more clearly in Figures 2 and 3 ); a chair 12; and an articulated joint assembly 13 between chair 12 and trolley 10.
  • suspension arm 9 is connected rigidly to trolley 10, but is hinged to chair 12 about an axis A1 parallel to travelling direction D1 of transportation unit 3 and crosswise to the width of transportation unit 3.
  • Chair 12 comprises an inverted-U-shaped frame 14; a seat 15; a backrest 16; a safety bar 17 which rotates about an axis A2; and four footrest assemblies 18 fixed to safety bar 17.
  • chair 12 has eight seats in a row, and is substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry P.
  • articulated joint assembly 13 is located between chair 12 and suspension arm 9, but may be located anywhere between chair 12 and trolley 10, e.g. between two portions of suspension arm 9.
  • Articulated joint assembly 13 comprises a pin 19 extending along axis A1; a flange 20 fixed to suspension arm 9; a flange 21 fixed to frame 14 of chair 12; a coil spring 22 between suspension arm 9 and frame 14 of chair 12; and a shock absorber 23 between suspension arm 9 and frame 14 of chair 12.
  • shock absorber 23 is located inside coil spring 22.
  • articulated joint assembly 13 can be locked selectively in a given position by means of a lock device 30. More specifically, shock absorber 23 between chair 12 and trolley 10 can be locked in a given position to lock articulated joint assembly 13 as a whole.
  • shock absorber 23 is a fluid shock absorber comprising a cylinder 24; and a piston 25 which slides inside cylinder 24 and divides cylinder 24 into two chambers 26, 27 communicating via a connecting circuit 28 with a constriction 29.
  • lock device 30 selectively locks shock absorber 23 and communication between chambers 26 and 27, and comprises a two-way valve 31 maintained in a normally-open position by a spring 32; and a Bowden cable 33 for overcoming the force of spring 32 (as shown schematically in Figure 4 ).
  • lock device 30 comprises a lever 34, which is connected to Bowden cable 33, is hinged to suspension arm 9, and is operated by a linear cam 35.
  • chair 12 moves into a horizontal position, and articulated joint assembly 13 is locked by lock device 30 to lock chair 12 with respect to suspension arm 9 in a substantially horizontal position, and keep chair 12 in this position, even after the passengers have boarded, along the rest of the path at turnaround station 4.
  • articulated joint assembly 13 is locked along the path portion at turnaround station 4 extending between the passenger-alighting portion and the exit of turnaround station 4.
  • the articulated joint assembly is locked before the passengers alight.
  • transportation unit 3 is equipped with a lock device 36, and moves along a cable system 1 in which linear cam 35 is replaced by an electrically conductive strip 37.
  • lock device 36 comprises a sliding electric contact 38, an electric cable 39, and a two-position, two-way, normally-open solenoid valve 40 respectively.
  • solenoid valve 40 is controlled by an electric signal transmitted via strip 37, sliding electric contact 38, and electric cable 39.
  • transportation unit 3 comprises, instead of shock absorber 23, a rubber silentblock-type shock absorber 41; and, instead of lock device 30, a lock device 42 comprising linear cam 35, lever 34, Bowden cable 33, a brake clamp 43 connected to the suspension arm, and a rod 44 connected to chair 12 - in the example shown, to frame 14 of chair 12 - and engaged by brake clamp 43.
  • Bowden cable 33 provides for closing the normally-open brake clamp 43, and for gripping rod 44 to lock chair 12 in a given position with respect to suspension arm 9.
