Hintergrundbackground
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Seilbahn mit Passagierkabinen gemäss Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Bei einer Seilbahnanlage mit kontinuierlich umlaufenden Kabinen müssen die Fahrgäste in den Stationen im Passagierbereich zu- oder absteigen, während sich die Kabinen weiterbewegen. Bei den bisher bekannten Seilbahnen solcher Bauart gehen die Fahrgäste zu den sich seitwärts bewegenden Kabinen und müssen auch gleichzeitig ihre Sportgeräte in den dafür aussen an den Kabinen angebrachten Halterungen einhängen. Für viele Fahrgäste ist dies eine neue und ungewohnte, nur schwer koordinierbare Situation, da mehrere Aktivitäten zur gleichen Zeit ablaufen müssen. Wenn der gesamte Ablauf auch noch durch nicht vorhersehbare Komplikationen überlagert wird, wie z.B., dass die Schier nicht in sofort in die Halterung passen, kann es zu Panikreaktionen kommen. Da sich die Kabinen mit den nach aussen geschwenkten Kabinentüren weiterbewegen, kommt es dann oftmals zu Kollisionen und zu Gefahrensituationen, welche das Eingreifen des Stationspersonals erfordern. Bei Hochleistungsbahnen führt dies dann zu Leistungsverlusten der Anlage oder sogar zu Unfällen. Ähnliche Situationen können aber auch beim Aussteigen aus der Kabine auftreten. Darstellung der ErfindungThe invention relates to a cable car with passenger cabins according to the preamble of claim 1. In a cable car system with continuously rotating cabins passengers in the stations in the passenger area have to get on or off while the cabins continue to move. In the previously known ropeways of this type, the passengers go to the moving sideways cabs and must also hang their sports equipment in the outside of the cabins mounted brackets. For many passengers, this is a new and unfamiliar situation, which is difficult to coordinate, since several activities have to take place at the same time. If the entire process is overshadowed by unpredictable complications, such as the skis not immediately fitting into the cradle, panic reactions can occur. Since the cabins continue to move with the cabin doors pivoted outwards, collisions and dangerous situations often occur which require the intervention of the station personnel. In high-performance railways this leads to power losses of the system or even to accidents. Similar situations can also occur when getting out of the cab. Presentation of the invention
Es stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, das Ein- bzw. Aussteigen bei solchen Anlagen zu vereinfachen.It is therefore the task to simplify the entry and exit of such facilities.
Diese Aufgabe wird von der Seilbahn gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Demgemäss wird mindestens ein Teil des Bodens des Passagierbereichs angrenzend an die Passagierkabinen von einem Fördermittel gebildet, welches dazu ausgestaltet ist, die auf ihm befindlichenThis object is achieved by the cable car according to claim 1. Accordingly, at least a part of the floor of the passenger area adjacent to the passenger cabins is formed by a conveyor which is designed to be located on it
Passagiere in Bewegungsrichtung der Passagierkabinen zu fördern.To encourage passengers in the direction of movement of passenger cabins.
Da das Zusteigen in die Kabine synchron oder mit einem zumindest relativ geringen Geschwindigkeitsunterschied zwischen dem Fördermittel und der Kabine erfolgt, werden die oben genannten Gefahrensituationen verhindert oder zumindest entschärft, da nicht mehrere Aktivitäten der Fahrgäste zur gleichen Zeit durchgeführt werden müssen. Die Fahrgäste können das Einhängen der Sportgeräte vornehmen, ohne dass sie gleichzeitig besorgt sein müssen, sich der hohen Kabinengeschwindigkeit anzupassen. Das Einsteigen kann dann ebenfalls so erfolgen, dass es kaum einen oder keinen Geschwindigkeitsunterschied zur Kabine gibt. Vorzugsweise ist das Fördermittel alsSince the boarding into the car takes place synchronously or with at least a relatively small difference in speed between the conveyor and the car, the abovementioned dangerous situations are prevented or at least mitigated, since several activities of the passengers do not have to be carried out at the same time. Passengers can hang up the sports equipment without having to worry about adjusting to the high cabin speed at the same time. The boarding can then also be done so that there is little or no difference in speed to the cabin. Preferably, the conveyor is as

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays to carry out the invention
In Fig. 1 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel derIn Fig. 1 is an embodiment of
Erfindung im Bereich einer Station dargestellt. Die Seilbahn besitzt eine Vielzahl von Passagierkabinen 10, welche in bekannter Weise an Seilen 11 geführt und angetrieben werden und im Bereich der Station auf einem ümführungsbogen um z.B. 180° umgelenkt werden. DieInvention shown in the area of a station. The cable car has a plurality of passenger cabins 10, which are guided and driven in a known manner on ropes 11 and in the area of the station on a Ümführungsbogen by e.g. 180 ° to be deflected. The
Passagierkabinen 10 werden normalerweise kontinuierlich bewegt und befinden sich auch in der Station dauernd in Bewegung.Passenger cabins 10 are normally moved continuously and are always in motion in the station.
In der Station ist angrenzend an die Passagierkabinen 10 ein Passagierbereich 12 vorgesehen, in welchem die Passagiere ein- und/oder aussteigen. Um dies den Passagieren zu erleichtern, wird mindestens ein Teil des Bodens des Passagierbereichs 12 von einem Fördermittel 14 gebildet, welches dazu dient, die auf ihm befindlichen Passagiere in Bewegungsrichtung der Passagierkabinen 10 zu bewegen. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Fördermittel von einem oder mehreren Förderbändern gebildet. In der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 sind mehrere Förderbänder 15a, 15b, 15c, ... vorgesehen, welche nebeneinander mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten laufen und so mehrere Förderbereiche bilden, welche sich unterschiedlich schnell bewegen. Derjenige Förderbereich bzw. dasjenige Förderband, welcher bzw. welches sich am nächsten angrenzend an die Passagierkabinen 10 befindet, läuft etwa mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit wie dieIn the station, a passenger area 12 is provided adjacent to the passenger cabins 10, in which the passengers board and / or get off. In order to facilitate this for the passengers, at least part of the floor of the passenger area 12 is formed by a conveying means 14, which serves to move the passengers on it in the direction of movement of the passenger cabins 10. In a preferred embodiment, the conveying means is formed by one or more conveyor belts. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, a plurality of conveyor belts 15a, 15b, 15c,... Are provided which run side by side at different speeds and thus form a plurality of conveyor regions which move at different speeds. The conveying area or conveyor belt which is closest to the passenger cabins 10 runs approximately at the same speed as the one
Passagierkabinen 10, während die weiter aussen liegenden Förderbänder bzw. Förderbereiche zunehmend langsamer laufen. Im Zusteigbereich auf der Bogenaussenseite laufen die Bänder also am langsamsten. Hierdurch wird den Passagieren das Betreten des Passagierbereichs 12 erleichtert .Passenger cabins 10, while the outermost conveyor belts or conveyor areas run increasingly slower. In the Zusteigbereich on the sheet outer side, the tapes run so slowest. This facilitates the passengers entering the passenger area 12.
Jedes der Förderbänder 15a, 15b, 15c, ... wird von einem durchgehenden Band gebildet, welches auf einer geschlossenen Bahn läuft. Die Bänder werden auf einem ausgangsseitigen Bereich 16 der Station von der einen auf die andere Seite geführt und laufen sodann entlang und parallel zur Bahn der Passagierkabinen 10 wieder zurück. Dabei ist sicherzustellen, dass die Bänder den Passagierkabinen 10 nicht in den Weg kommen. Hierzu gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten.Each of the conveyor belts 15a, 15b, 15c, ... is formed by a continuous band running on a closed path. The belts are guided on an exit-side area 16 of the station from one side to the other and then run back along and parallel to the path of the passenger cabins 10. It must be ensured that the bands do not get in the way of the passenger cabins 10. There are various possibilities for this.
In einer bevorzugten Variante, welche in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, befindet sich die Einstiegshöhe 17 der Passagierkabinen im Passagierbereich 12 im Wesentlichen auf der Höhe der Oberseite 18 des Fördermittels 14 bzw. der Förderbänder 15. Dadurch wird der Einstieg erleichtert. In diesem Fall muss aber sichergestellt werden, dass die relative vertikale Lage der Passagierkabinen 10 und des Fördermittels 14 bzw. der Förderbänder 15 sich gegen den ausgangsseitigen Bereich 16 der Station hin so verändert, dass das Fördermittel ausreichend tief unterhalb der Passagierkabinen zu liegen kommt . Vorzugsweise sind deshalb mehrere Bereiche vorgesehen, in welchen das Fördermittel unterschiedliche Höhe hat. In einem ersten Bereich, nämlich im Passagierbereich 12, verläuft das Fördermittel auf einer ersten Höhe, und in einem zweiten Bereich, nämlich dem ausgangsseitigen Bereich 16, welcher unterhalb des Förderwegs der Passagierkabinen 10 liegt, verläuft es auf einer zweiten, tieferen Höhe. Im zweiten Bereich ist das Fördermittel soweit gegenüber den Passagierkabinen abgesenkt, dass der Boden 19 der Passagierkabinen 10 problemlos über das Fördermittel 14 geführt werden kann. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu einem Absenken des Fördermittels 14 können die Passagierkabinen 10 so geführt werden, dass sie vor dem Überqueren des Fördermittels 14 in vertikaler Richtung angehoben werden.In a preferred variant, which is shown in FIG. 2, the entry height 17 of the passenger cabins in the passenger area 12 is essentially at the level of the top side 18 of the conveyor 14 or the conveyor belts 15. In this case, however, it must be ensured that the relative vertical position of the passenger cabins 10 and the conveying means 14 or of the conveyor belts 15 changes towards the exit-side area 16 of the station such that the conveying means comes to lie sufficiently low below the passenger cabins. Preferably, therefore, several areas are provided in which the funding has different heights. In a first area, namely in the passenger area 12, the conveying means runs at a first height, and in a second area, namely the outlet-side area 16, which lies below the conveying path of the passenger cabins 10, it runs at a second, lower level. In the second area, the conveyor is lowered so far relative to the passenger cabins that the bottom 19 of the passenger cabins 10 can be easily guided over the conveyor 14. Alternatively or in addition to a lowering of the conveyor 14, the passenger cabins 10 may be guided so that they are raised in the vertical direction before crossing the conveyor 14.
Es ist auch denkbar, einen oder mehrere Bereiche vorzusehen, in denen das Fördermittel im normalen Betrieb auf der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Höhe läuft, aber auf Wunsch abgesenkt werden kann, um es so z.B. zu erlauben, einzelne Passagierkabinen 10 im Bereich der Station aus der Normalbahn abzuführen, z.B. zum Garagieren, bzw. sie wieder auf die Normalbahn zurückzuführen .It is also conceivable to provide one or more areas in which, during normal operation, the conveying means runs at the height shown in Fig. 2, but can be lowered on request, so as to be e.g. to allow individual passenger cabins 10 in the area of the station to be removed from the normal course, e.g. for garaging, or return them to the normal course.
In Fig. 3 ist eine Ausführung der Anlage dargestellt, bei welcher kein niveaugleicher Einstieg in die Passagierkabinen 10 möglich ist. Vielmehr liegt die Einstiegshöhe um z.B. 20 cm oberhalb der Oberseite des Fördermittels 14 und die Passagiere müssen beim Einsteigen eine Stufe überwinden. Zudem befindet sich auch der Boden 19 der Passagierkabinen 10 über der Höhe des Fördermittels 14, so dass eine Kreuzung der Wege des Fördermittels und der Passagierkabinen ohne Absenken des Fördermittels möglich ist.In Fig. 3, an embodiment of the system is shown in which no level equal entry into the passenger cabins 10 is possible. Rather, the entry height is, for example, 20 cm above the top of the conveyor 14 and the passengers must overcome a step when boarding. In addition, the floor 19 of the passenger cabins 10 is also above the height of the conveyor 14, so that a crossing of the paths of the conveyor and the passenger cabins without lowering the conveyor is possible.
Damit die einzelnen Förderbändern 15a, 15b, 15c,... um den in Fig. 1 dargestellten Bogen geführt werden können, sind sie flexibel auszugestalten und auf ihren Bahnen seitlich zu führen. Um die vorgesehene Kapazität der Anlage zu erreichen und die Gefahr von Unfällen zu reduzieren, kann sie mit Einzelschranken 20 ausgestattet werden, wie diese in Fig. 4 dargestellt sind. Die Einzelschranken 20 geben jeweils einzelnen Personen zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten den Zugang zum Passagierbereich 12 frei, wobei darauf geachtet wird, dass auch die Wege der einzelnen Fahrgäste etwa gleich sind. Ein Drängeln vor den Kabineneingängen wird dadurch vermieden und der Zustieg wird gefahrloser. Fig. 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführung derSo that the individual conveyor belts 15a, 15b, 15c,... Can be guided around the sheet shown in FIG. 1, they are flexible in design and can be guided laterally on their paths. In order to achieve the intended capacity of the plant and reduce the risk of accidents, it can be equipped with individual barriers 20, as shown in Fig. 4. The individual barriers 20 in each case give individuals access to the passenger area 12 at different times, whereby it is ensured that the paths of the individual passengers are also approximately the same. A jostling in front of the car entrances is thereby avoided and the approach becomes more secure. Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the
Erfindung, bei welcher das Fördermittel 14 von einem einzelnen Förderband 15 gebildet wird, welches mehrere Förderplatten 21a, 21b, 21c,... aufweist. Die Förderplatten liegen seitlich aneinander an und sind gegeneinander um jeweils vertikale Achsen drehbar gelagert, wie dies von konventionellen Plattenbändern her bekannt ist. Ein derartiges Plattenband kann sowohl bogenförmige als auch gerade Strecken durchfahren. Es können auch mehrere Plattenbänder parallel, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, eingesetzt werden.Invention in which the conveyor 14 is formed by a single conveyor belt 15 having a plurality of conveyor plates 21a, 21b, 21c, .... The conveyor plates are laterally adjacent to each other and are rotatably supported against each other about respective vertical axes, as is known from conventional plate bands ago. Such a plate band can pass through both arcuate and straight stretches. It can also be several plate bands in parallel, as shown in Fig. 1, are used.
Fig. 6 zeigt eine dritte Ausführung der Erfindung, bei welcher das Fördermittel 14 von einer Plattform 23 gebildet wird, welche die Form eines Rings oder einer Scheibe hat. Die Plattform 23 ist in sich im Wesentlichen steif und dreht sich um eine vertikale Zentralachse 24. Die Zentralachse 24 bildet auch den Mittelpunkt des kreisförmigen Umführungsbogens 25, auf welchem die Passagierkabinen 10 laufen. In dieser Ausführung betritt der Passagier zuerst die Plattform 23, von welcher er in die Kabine 10 einsteigt.Fig. 6 shows a third embodiment of the invention, in which the conveying means 14 is formed by a platform 23, which has the shape of a ring or a disc. The platform 23 is substantially rigid in itself and rotates about a vertical central axis 24. The central axis 24 also forms the center of the circular Umführungsbogens 25 on which the passenger cabins 10 run. In this embodiment, the passenger first enters the platform 23 from which he enters the cabin 10.
Es können auch mehrere Plattformen 23 als konzentrische Ringe vorgesehen sein, wobei der innerste Ring am schnellsten läuft und die weiter aussen liegenden Ringe immer langsamer laufen. Auch so kann das Fördermittel 14 entsprechend der Lösung gemäss Fig. 1 in mehrere Förderbereiche mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten aufgeteilt werden. Wie erwähnt, sollte das Fördermittel 14 vorzugsweise zumindest angrenzend an die Passagierkabinen 10 ungefähr gleich schnell laufen wie diese. Es sind jedoch auch Ausführungen denkbar, bei denen das Fördermittel 14 etwas langsamer läuft als dieIt can also be several platforms 23 are provided as concentric rings, wherein the innermost ring runs fastest and the rings further out run slower and slower. Even so, the conveyor 14 can be divided according to the solution according to FIG. 1 in several conveyor areas with different speeds. As mentioned, the conveyor 14 should preferably run at least as fast as the passenger cabins 10 at least adjacent to the passenger cabins 10. However, embodiments are also conceivable in which the conveyor 14 runs a little slower than the
Passagierkabinen 10, wodurch die Vorteile der Erfindung zumindest noch teilweise erreicht werden können, aber das Aufsteigen auf das Fördermittel vereinfacht wird.Passenger cabins 10, whereby the benefits of the invention can be at least partially achieved, but the upgrade to the funding is simplified.
Die Förderleistung einer Seilbahn mit Kabinen ist grundsätzlich durch die Anzahl der Kabinen, die man pro Stunde transportieren kann, festgelegt und hängt weiter natürlich auch davon ab, wie viele Personen in diesen Kabinen Platz haben.The capacity of a cable car with cabins is basically determined by the number of cabins that can be transported per hour, and of course also depends on how many people in these cabins have space.
In den Stationen gibt es zwei Kriterien: Einmal die Geometrie der Kabine, welche bei derIn the stations there are two criteria: Once the geometry of the cabin, which at the
Bogenumfahrt den Mindestabstand zwischen den Kabinen festlegt, und weiter die Geschwindigkeit der Kabinen. Die Kabinengeometrie kann man kaum verändern und die Geschwindigkeit kann in konventionellen Anlagen aus- den genannten Gründen kaum mehr als 0.3 m/s sein, da sonst die erwähnten Probleme auftreten. Durch die vorliegende Erfindung kann der Kabinenabstand, bzw. die Folgezeit auf der Strecke und somit auch in der Station verkürzt werden. Dadurch kann eine wesentliche Leistungssteigerung der Anlage erreicht werden.Bow turn sets the minimum distance between the cabins, and further the speed of the cabins. The cabin geometry can hardly be changed and the speed in conventional systems can hardly be more than 0.3 m / s for the reasons mentioned above, since otherwise the mentioned problems occur. By the present invention, the cabin distance, or the subsequent time on the track and thus also in the station can be shortened. As a result, a significant increase in performance of the system can be achieved.
Um die Kriterien in den Stationen wieder zu erfüllen, muss die Geschwindigkeit der Kabinen erhöht werden.To meet the criteria in the stations again, the speed of the cabs must be increased.
Das bedeutet, dass - wenn man das Förderband an der Kabine mit 0.3 m/s oder mehr bewegt und noch eine gewisse Differenzgeschwindigkeit zulässt - man eine Leistungssteigerung der Anlage erreicht.This means that - if you move the conveyor at the cabin with 0.3 m / s or more and still allows a certain differential speed - you will achieve an increase in performance of the system.
Wie in den Figuren dargestellt, bewegt sich das Fördermittel 14 angrenzend an die Passagierkabinen 10 parallel zu diesen und vermag auch dem bogenförmigen Verlauf des ümführungsbogens zu folgen. Denkbar ist jedoch auch die Anordnung des Fördermittels an einem Bereich, wo sich die Passagierkabinen 10 auf einer geraden Linie bewegen. Dadurch wird die Konstruktion des Fördermittels vereinfacht, da dieses nicht auf einer Kurve geführt werden muss. Diese Ausführung kommt vor allem bei Zwischenstationen in Frage, da in solchen Fällen der Umführungsbogen entfälltAs shown in the figures, the conveyor 14 moves adjacent to the passenger cabins 10 parallel to these and is also able to follow the arcuate course of Ümführungsbogens. However, it is also conceivable arrangement of the conveyor at an area where the passenger cabins 10 move in a straight line.
