  • a shock can generate bodily injury to passengers or cause significant material damage.
  • the present invention relates to a cable transport device according to claim 1.
  • the shocks are damped by the damping means. People who are transported may only feel a little shock and the risk of deterioration of the vehicle and obstacles around are very much reduced.
  • the damping means comprise an elastically deformable means and / or plastically deformable means so as to absorb the shock wave.
  • the device comprises additional damping means at fixed structures of the device which may constitute obstacles on the path of the vehicle.
  • These fixed structures are, for example, arrival, departure and intermediate stations, cable retention towers, etc.
  • the present invention relates to a cable transport device comprising at least one vehicle suspended from at least one cable, characterized in that at least one vehicle is provided with shock-absorbing means with obstacles constituted by fixed structures.
  • the present invention relates to a transport device comprising at least one vehicle 1 fixedly suspended from at least one towing cable by fastening means of the clamp type or by rolling means so that the vehicle is rolling on at least a cable.
  • the term suspended includes these various embodiments.
  • the figures and the description show a device equipped with a single vehicle 1.
  • the device according to the invention may comprise a plurality of vehicles 1.
  • the vehicle 1 may be of the cable car cabin type or chairlift seat or the like.
  • the vehicle 1 comprises damping means 2 shocks. These damping means 2 are intended to dampen shocks during contact between the vehicle 1 and any fixed structures 5 arranged in the vicinity vehicle 1 or with other vehicles of the device. These damping means 2 therefore allow the passengers or goods carried not to suffer the consequences of shocks.
  • Fixed structures 5 are understood to mean structures that are fixed relative to the movement of at least one vehicle 1. For example, arrival, departure, intermediate stations, cable holding pylons . Thus, fixed structure does not include the means of suspension of the vehicle 1.
  • the damping means 2 are preferably arranged at the level of at least one side wall 3 of the vehicle 1.
  • side walls is meant the walls of the vehicle 1 oriented substantially in the direction of movement of the vehicle 1.
  • the damping means 2 are at least arranged on the side wall 3 of the vehicle 1 with respect to the fixed structures 5.
  • the damping means 2 are preferably arranged in a longitudinal direction corresponding to the direction of movement of the vehicle 1 as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the damping means 2 may further be arranged on the other walls of the vehicle 1 so as to also dampen other shocks.
  • the damping means 2 are located on the angles formed by the intersection of the roof and the vertical walls of the vehicle cab 1.
  • the damping means 2 comprise an elastically deformable means.
  • the elastically deformable means comprises at least one elastically deformable material. Indeed, this type of material absorbs the energy generated by the shock wave by its elastic deformation.
  • this type of material absorbs the energy generated by the shock wave by its elastic deformation.
  • elastomers of the rubber, silicone and polyurethane type will be used as the material.
  • the elastically deformable means comprises an elastically deformable structure.
  • an elastically deformable structure By way of example, use will be made of a spring structure or as described below a hollow hemicyclic bead.
  • an elastically deformable structure may be combined with at least one elastically deformable material.
  • the structure may comprise a spring system, in particular with compression springs, gas dampers, etc.
  • Elastically deformable means a reversible deformation.
  • the damping means 2 comprise a plastically deformable means.
  • the plastically deformable means comprises at least one plastically deformable material.
  • the plastically deformable means comprises a plastically deformable structure. This type of material or structure absorbs the energy generated by a shock by deforming irreversibly.
  • a plastically deformable structure can be combined with at least one plastically deformable material.
  • the damping means 2 are preferably in the form of a hemyclic bead, other forms of the parallelepiped type or others may be provided.
  • the damping means 2 of the bead type optionally have a solid or hollow structure.
  • the damping means 2 are of convex shape.
  • the outer surface of the damping means 2 is, for example, curvilinear or formed of successive rectilinear segments as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • This latter variant has the advantage of having a possible bearing surface during shocks against fixed structures 5 which is greater than when the outer surface is curvilinear. This greater support surface between the damping means 2 and the fixed structures 5 allows a better distribution of the support forces and therefore better damping of the shock wave.
  • the structure of the damping means 2 according to the embodiment where the outer surface is formed of a plurality of successive rectilinear segments provides a certain rigidity necessary not that the damping means 2 deform excessively. during shocks or mild contact.
  • the damping means 2 comprise a rigid element mounted on the dampers 8. It is possible to provide for example an element of the type of a plate advantageously rigid mounted on dampers.
  • the dampers absorb the energy of the shocks. Shocks are for example gas cylinders, hydraulic, pneumatic or springs or an elastically deformable material element such as the elastomers mentioned above.
  • the damping means 2 are preferably arranged on the vehicle 1 so as to be the first elements of the vehicle 1 to come into contact with the surrounding fixed structures 5, in case of shocks.
  • the damping means 2 are arranged on the upper part of the vehicle.
  • the upper part of the vehicle is the part of the vehicle 1 located above the longitudinal plane 4 passing through the center of gravity of the vehicle 1.
  • the center of gravity is advantageously determined when the vehicle 1 is off load. This positioning of the damping means 2 makes it possible to dampen the shocks, without the risk that the damping means 2 come into contact with the rails located in the stations, or interfere with the entry or exit of the passengers.
  • the damping means 2 are located at the longitudinal plane 4 passing through the center of gravity of the vehicle 1.
  • the damping means 2 are arranged in the lower part of the vehicle 1.
  • the lower part of the vehicle 1 is meant the part of the vehicle 1 situated below the longitudinal plane 4 passing through the center of the vehicle. vehicle severity 1.
  • This latter embodiment may be of interest for damping shocks even when the oscillation of the vehicle 1 is low.
  • the fixed structures 5 comprise additional damping means 6.
  • Fixed structures 5 are the obstacles that the vehicle 1 may encounter during its movement along the cable, such as the arrival, departure, intermediate stations or cable towers.
  • the additional damping means 6 placed on the fixed structure 5 can realize the majority of the damping of a possible impact with the vehicle 1.
  • the additional damping means 6 comprise, according to a first embodiment, an elastically deformable means.
  • This elastically deformable means comprises, according to a first possibility, at least one elastically deformable material and according to a second possibility, an elastically deformable structure.
  • the additional damping means 6 comprise plastically deformable means.
  • This plastically deformable means comprises either at least one plastically deformable material, or a plastically deformable structure.
  • the elastically or plastically deformable means for producing the additional damping means 6 are identical to the elastically or plastically deformable means for producing the damping means 2.
  • the additional damping means 6 comprise a rigid element mounted on dampers 8 which absorb the impact energy.
  • the dampers 8 disposed between the plate 7 and the fixed structure 5 are of the hydraulic cylinder type, gas, pneumatic, spring or other elastically deformable means and / or plastically.
  • the plate 7 advantageously has sufficient rigidity so as to distribute the support forces over its entire surface. exercised during shocks.
  • the plate 7 is made of a material such as flexible plastics.
  • the plate 7 of the additional damping means 6 is preferably arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fixed structure 5.
  • the dampers 8 are arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the plate 7.
  • the damping means 2 and / or additional 6 will absorb the shock by elastic deformation without being damaged and without the need to be changed. While during larger shocks, when the deformation of the damping means 2 and / or additional 6 is too large, the plastic deformation takes over and allows to continue to absorb shocks. In this case, the damping means 2 and / or additional 6 must be replaced to play their roles in the next shock.
  • the additional damping means 6 are preferably arranged on the fixed structure 5 over an entire surface where the vehicle 1 can come into contact with.
  • the additional damping means 6 substantially surround the entire pylon at the height of the vehicle 1.
  • the additional damping means 6 are therefore rounded, so as to be convex.
