Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carriage for a cable transportation system.
  • the present invention relates to a carriage for a cable transportation system comprising a guide and a traction cable.
  • the carriage is fitted to the guide, is drawn by the traction cable along a given path, and normally comprises a frame, and at least one roller fitted to the guide.
  • a cableway is one type of cable transportation system, in which the guide comprises one or more supporting cables fixed to supports anchored to the ground, and which form sags between adjacent supports.
  • the carriage is moved along the supporting cables by one or more rolling assemblies, each comprising at least one roller with a groove for a supporting cable.
  • the supporting cable is subject to oscillation induced by atmospheric factors, and which may impair connection of the supporting cable and roller. This may also be impaired by mechanical problems on the carriage. For example, the roller may jam, due to a faulty bearing; in which case, the jammed roller would slide, instead of rolling, along the supporting cable, thus resulting in wear of the roller.
  • Cable transportation systems are normally remote-controlled by an operator, who is therefore unable to directly monitor the condition of the carriage or the carriage-guide connection. Accordingly, some cable transportation systems feature a safety device whereby the carriage comprises an aluminium shoe coated with a plastic insulating film and fitted about the supporting cable, which is powered with low voltage and insulated electrically from earth. During normal operation, the supporting cable is engaged by the roller and located a given distance from the shoe. When, in the event of a malfunction, the supporting cable comes into contact with the shoe, it abrades and wears down the plastic film on the shoe, and is eventually earthed.
  • the safety device determines a malfunction and stops the system.
  • the safety device also determines a malfunction and stops the system if the supporting cable, for any reason, becomes completely unseated from the groove in the roller and comes into contact with any of the metal parts of the carriage.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a carriage for a cable transportation system designed to ensure safe operation of the system.
  • a carriage for a cable transportation system comprising a guide and a traction cable; the carriage being suitable to be supported by the guide, being' suitable to be drawn by the traction cable along a given path, and comprising a frame; a rolling assembly comprising at least one roller couplable to the guide; and characterized by a sensing system for sensing a distance between the guide and a reference region on the carriage.
  • the sensing system Compared with the safety device, the sensing system enables any improper connections to be detected, and the appropriate steps to be taken, sooner.
  • the sensing system also indicates the nature and gravity of the malfunction.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a cable transportation system designed to eliminate the drawbacks of the known art.
  • a cable transportation system comprising a guide; a traction cable; and at least one transportation unit comprising a carriage as described above.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of controlling a cable transportation system designed to eliminate the drawbacks of the known art.
  • a method of controlling a cable transportation system comprising a guide; a traction cable; and at least one transportation unit comprising a carriage, which is supported by the guide, is drawn by the traction cable along a given path, and comprises a frame, and a rolling assembly comprising at least one roller coupled to the guide; the method comprising the step of sensing a distance between the guide and a reference region on the carriage.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a cable transportation system comprising a first passenger arrival/departure station 2; a second passenger arrival/departure station 3; a first pulley 4 located at first station 2 and powered by a motor M; a second pulley 5 located at second station 3; a guide 6 - in the example shown, two supporting cables 7 (only one shown in Figure 1 ) extending between first station 2 and second station 3; a traction cable 8 looped about first pulley 4 and second pulley 5; and transportation units 9 fitted to supporting cables 7 and clamped to traction cable 8.
  • Cable transportation system 1 is a detachable cable transportation system, in which, at first and second arrival/departure stations 2 and 3, transportation units 9 are released from supporting cables 7 and traction cable 8, and are moved forward by respective auxiliary drive devices not shown in the drawings.
  • Each transportation unit 9 comprises a car 10 and a carriage 11.
  • each carriage 11 is fitted to supporting cables 7, is drawn by traction cable 8 along a given path P1, and comprises a frame 12; four rolling assemblies 13 which engage supporting cables 7; a clamp 14 for selectively connecting carriage 11 to traction cable 8, as shown more clearly in Figure 2 ; an arm 15 connected to frame 12 to support car 10; and rollers 16 and 17 which cooperate with the auxiliary drive devices at arrival/departure stations 2 and 3.
  • Frame 12 comprises two parallel cross beams 18; and a longitudinal beam 19 connecting cross beams 18.
  • each rolling assembly 13 is located at the corners of a hypothetical rectangle.
  • each rolling assembly 13 is connected to a respective free end of cross beams 18.
  • each rolling assembly 13 comprises a rocker arm 20; and two rollers 21 fitted to rocker arm 20.
  • Rocker arm 20 is coupled to a free end of one of beams 18 to oscillate about an axis A1; and rollers 21 are mounted to rotate about respective axes A2 parallel to axis A1.
  • each roller 21 comprises two facing side plates 22; and a cylindrical central body 23 with a central groove 24 for housing one of supporting cables 7.
  • each cross beam 18 is substantially arc-shaped next to the ends, of the cross beam 18, faced to the supporting cables 7.
  • cable transportation system 1 comprises a safety device 25 and a control device 26.
  • Safety device 25 comprises aluminium shoes 27 fitted to carriage 11 and are suitable to be arranged around to the supporting cables 7 ( Figures 5 and 6 ); a low-voltage power unit 28 for powering supporting cables 7; and a cut-off system 29 for cutting off motor M.
  • carriage 11 has a sleeve-shaped support 30, which is fixed to cross beam 18, is located between the two rollers 21 of relative rolling assembly 13, and supports a respective shoe 27.
  • each shoe 27 comprises a top wall 31, and two side walls 32.
  • Top wall 31 and side walls 32 are coated with an insulating film 33 and, in use, face supporting cable 7.
  • control device 26 comprises sensing systems 34, each located on a respective carriage 11 and comprising a sensor 35 ( Figures 5 and 6 ); peripheral units 36, each located on a respective transportation unit 9; and a central unit 37.
  • carriage 11 comprises four sensing system 34, each located close to a respective rolling assembly 13.
  • sensor 35 of each sensing system 34 is located at a respective free end of cross beam 18, and extends between the two rollers 21 of relative rolling assembly 13.
  • sensor 35 is fixed to support 30, extends through an opening in top wall 31 of shoe 27, comprises an end face 38 facing supporting cable 7 in use, and is connected to peripheral unit 36 by an electric cable 39.
  • sensor 35 is an inductive sensor, which supplies a signal related to the distance D between a reference region on carriage 11 - in the example shown, the end face 38 of sensor 35 - and the surface 40 of supporting cable 7.
  • Sensing system 34 is thus able to determine any improper connections. For example, if supporting cable 7 is positioned as indicated by circle B1, sensing system 34 determines an improper connection of supporting cable 7 and roller 21, but safety device 25 does not intervene.
  • Sensing system 34 is also able to determine this type of anomaly, and to supply information as to the nature of the malfunction.
  • peripheral unit 36 comprises an input stage 41; an energy source, e.g. a battery, 42; a processing unit 43; and a radio transmitter-receiver 44 with an antenna 45.

  • the energy source comprises a generator mounted on transportation unit 9 and connected to one of supporting cables 7, so as to generate electric power from the movement of carriage 11 with respect to supporting cable 7, as described in Patent JP8133069A .
  • Central unit 37 comprises a radio transmitter-receiver 46 with an antenna 47; a control unit 48; and a user interface 49.
  • peripheral unit 36 receives signals from sensors 35 ( Figure 5 ) of sensing systems 34.
  • the signals are appropriately conditioned by input stage 41 and sent to processing unit 43, which transmits the signals, and data identifying the carriage 11 ( Figure 1 ) and the sensors 35 ( Figure 5 ) associated with the signals, over radio transmitter-receiver 44 to central unit 37 ( Figure 1 ).
  • transmitter-receiver 46 of central unit 37 receives the information from peripheral units 36, and transmits it to control unit 48, which processes the information and, by means of user interface 49, indicates correct or abnormal operation.
  • radio repeaters 50 each comprising an antenna 52, a transmitter-receiver 53 and an energy source 54, are installed on supports 51 between first and second arrival/departure station 2 and 3.
  • the radio repeaters are located elsewhere.
  • peripheral unit 36 and central unit 37 are connected by a transmission cable; radio transmitter-receiver 44 and antenna 45 of peripheral unit 36 are replaced by a cable transmitter-receiver of the peripheral unit; radio transmitter-receiver 46 and antenna 47 of the central unit are replaced by a cable transmitter-receiver of the central unit; and the transmission cable is defined by traction cable 8.
  • processing unit 43 sends the signals, and data identifying carriage 11 ( Figure 1 ) and sensors 35 ( Figure 5 ) associated with the signals, over the peripheral unit cable transmitter-receiver to central unit 37, which receives the information from peripheral units 36 over the central unit cable transmitter-receiver; this sends the information to control unit 48, which processes the information and, via user interface 49, indicates correct or abnormal operation.
