Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of maintenance vehicles of ski slopes and more particularly vehicles equipped with a winch for compensation of the traction torque through the use of a cable.
- This type of vehicle is already widely used throughout the world and can significantly increase the scope of maintenance vehicles by allowing access to steeper areas and / or in which the snowpack does n ' is not very stable.
- the cables used being steel cables with a length of 850 to 1200m, the weight of the cable alone is 700 to 900kg and can represent up to 10% of the weight of the vehicle.
- the assembly of the winch and the cable is a substantial mass that can cause an imbalance of the vehicle and requiring increased power of the vehicle involving an increase in consumption.
- the winches 3 of the vehicles 1 of the state of the art as shown in FIG. 1 are positioned at the rear and as low as possible. Nevertheless, such positioning involves the use of a pulley system 5 to guide the wire rope 7 from the front of the vehicle to the winding drum of the winch 3 and a cable guide to correctly position the cable 7 on the drum and avoid any twisting of the wire rope 7 which could damage it.
- the assembly of the support arm 8 comprising the pulleys 5 and the winch must be rotatably articulated relative to the chassis of the vehicle, which requires expensive equipment (oversized bearings ...) due to the weight of all and therefore high production costs.
- the steel cables are not repairable on site and their replacement in case of damage is very expensive.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to overcome, at least partially, the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art and to propose traction equipment making it possible to reduce the weight and therefore the consumption of the vehicle, to simplify the mechanism of orientation of the rope attached to the winch and improve the safety of people handling the cable or located near the cable.
- the present invention relates to a ski slope maintenance vehicle comprising
- a winch intended to be mounted on the frame and comprising a winding drum and a winding motor associated with the drum,
- the synthetic material of the cable is polyethylene.
- said cable is photo-luminescent.
- the vehicle comprises a driving cabin and the frame comprises means for holding the drum so that the axis of rotation of the drum is vertical when the vehicle is on a horizontal plane and in that the winding drum is located at a height greater than the driver's cab when the vehicle is on a horizontal plane thus making it possible to release the vision towards the rear of the vehicle. vehicle.
- the vehicle also comprises a rotary bracket intended to orient the cable and the axis of rotation of the bracket coincides with the axis of rotation of the drum.
- a dedicated motor makes it possible to orient the stem.
- the winding motor is a hydraulic motor.
- the present invention also relates to a cable traction equipment for installation on a ski slope maintenance vehicle comprising:
- a winch comprising a winding drum and a winding motor associated with the drum
- the frame comprises means for holding the drum so that the axis of rotation of the drum is vertical when the vehicle is on a horizontal plane.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a maintenance vehicle skiable track according to the state of the art
- FIG. 2 represents a diagram of an embodiment of a ski run maintenance vehicle according to the present invention
- FIG. 3 shows two diagrams (3 a and 3b) of a top view of a ski-run maintenance vehicle according to the present invention
- FIG. 4 represents a diagram of the use of a ski run maintenance vehicle according to the present invention.
- ski run refers to any natural or artificial snow-covered piste intended for ski users or any other means of moving on snow.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to cable pulling equipment of a ski run maintenance vehicle.
- This equipment comprises a cable of synthetic material and a structure comprising a winch for receiving the cable, this structure being installed on the vehicle.
- the winch 9 is positioned on a frame 11 just behind the cabin 13 and at a height greater than the cabin 13 and any equipment attached to the cabin as a beacon 14 or a lighting system (not shown) as shown in Figure 2.
- This positioning allows to release the vision from the cabin 13 to the rear of the vehicle 1 which facilitates and improves the work of the driver of the vehicle 1.
- the drum 17 of the winch 9 is positioned on the frame 11 so that its axis of rotation 21 is vertical when the vehicle is on a horizontal plane.
- the high position of the winch 9 and the orientation of the drum 17 allows the synthetic cable 15 to wind directly on the drum 17 of the winch 9 without going through a complex system of pulleys.
- a simple system of pulleys can nevertheless be used at the end of the stem to lower the point of application of the tensile force of the cable 15 to the vehicle 1.
- the flexibility of the synthetic cable 15 eliminates the torsion problems that can occur on the metal cables 7 and allows to wind the cable directly on the drum 17 without using a guide system also called cable guide. Indeed, during the winding of the cable (also called trancanage), the synthetic cable 15 has no spring effect in case of slipping of the cable 15 unlike the metal cables.
- the synthetic cable 15 is thus guided by a simple bracket 19 whose axis of rotation 21 coincides with the axis of rotation of the drum 17.
- the bracket 19 rotates freely about its axis of rotation 21 depending on the orientation of the cable 15, however, a dedicated motor (not shown) can also be coupled to the bracket 19 to allow the driver of the vehicle 1 to direct the bracket 19 when necessary.
- a dedicated motor (not shown) can also be coupled to the bracket 19 to allow the driver of the vehicle 1 to direct the bracket 19 when necessary.
- the stem has a reduced weight compared to the frame, this design simplifies the structure and reduce production costs compared to the models of the state of the art.
- the advanced position of the winch 9 relative to the vehicle 1 also improves the balance of the vehicle 1, especially when the angle made by the axis of the cable 23 and the vehicle axis 25 increases as shown in FIG. 3.
- the winch 9 In the first case (a) where the winch 9 is positioned at the rear of the vehicle 1, the tensile force of the cable 15 tends to unbalance the vehicle 1 while in the second case (b), the position of the winch 9 towards the front of the vehicle 1, the tensile force of the cable 15 continues to drive the vehicle 1 without unbalancing it.
- the drum 17 of the winch 9 is rotated by a hydraulic motor 27 located below the drum 17 and fixed to the frame 11.
- the motor can be either directly flanged on the drum is coupled to the drum via a drive system comprising one or more gears, a chain or a gimbal.
- the cable 15 is connected to an anchor 29 located at the top of the track or track portion to be maintained as shown in FIG. 4.
- the connection between the synthetic cable 15 and the anchoring 29 being made for example by a hook attached to the end of the synthetic cable 15.
- the vehicle 1 moves by the combined action of the tracks 31 and the winch 9.
- These traction means must allow to raise the assembly of the vehicle 1 and a possible amount of snow 33.
- the sizing of the various elements must therefore take into account the total weight of the vehicle + snow package.
- the embodiments of the present invention therefore make it possible to reduce the weight of the cable 15, of the winch 9 and consequently of the frame supporting the winch and the cable, which makes it possible either to reduce the total weight to be towed and therefore the necessary energy. when pulling the vehicle, to increase the amount of snow that can be pushed and thus reduce the number of passages and consequently the time and energy required.
- the traction of the cable is not always in the axis of the vehicle so that the speed of winding and / or unwinding of the winch 9 must be controlled to remain coordinated with the speed tracks 31 and to maintain a constant tension at the synthetic rope 15.
- a synthetic cable 15 eliminates the risk of injury related to the handling of the cable by the operator. Indeed, unlike a wire rope 7, the synthetic cable 15 does not produce efflichures or splinters and preserves the hands of the operator even when handling with bare hands.
- the low weight also allows easier handling for the operator, especially during the hooking phase of the cable 15 to the anchor 29.
- the cable may present a danger to people in the vicinity of the cable such as hikers and operating personnel traveling on foot, snowmobile or ski.
- the maintenance of the tracks being essentially at night a cable metal 7 is hardly noticeable and could cause an accident in case of shock.
- the synthetic cable is photoluminescent or has a reflecting effect so as to be clearly perceptible at night.
- This photoluminescence and this reflective effect can be provided by the structure of the cable by using a photo-luminescent or reflective material during its manufacture or by the addition of a photoluminescent or reflective envelope around the cable.
- a cable comprising reflective portions and light-emitting portions can also be used to combine the advantages and provide a good perception of the cable in all conditions.
- the danger also lies in the risk for people near the cable, in case of breakage of the cable.
- the danger also lies in the risk for people near the cable, in case of breakage of the cable.
- the synthetic cable 15 may, unlike a wire rope 7, repair itself on site which reduces maintenance costs and operating costs since once the repair is done (for example by splicing) on site, the vehicle can return to work without the need to return to the station.
- the present invention makes it possible, thanks to the use of a synthetic cable 15 and to the design of a new configuration of the towed vehicle 1 and in particular to a suitable disposition of the drum 17 of the winch 9, to offer a simpler and lighter cable pulling equipment thus reducing production costs and energy consumption.
- the use of a synthetic cable 15 facilitates the work of the operator and improve the safety of people.
