Description

The invention relates to a vehicle for a circulating cable car, which can be transported in a direction of travel with a circulating pulling or conveying cable of the circulating cableway, comprising a passenger unit for accommodating passengers, a clamping device for connecting the vehicle to a circulating pulling or conveying cable of the circulating cable car and a hanger on which the passenger unit is mounted and which is connected to the clamping device, wherein the passenger unit has at least one, in particular at least partially transparent formed, sliding element which is displaceable between a pushed down closed position and a pushed up open position.

Vehicles of the type mentioned above are also referred to as driving equipment and used in particular in aerial cableways or cable cars to transport people.

Circulating ropeways have an endless spliced pulling or hoisting rope to which a number of vehicles are clamped. The vehicles move in a constant sense of rotation in a direction of travel, which corresponds in the connected to the pull or hoisting cable state of the vehicle, the direction of movement of the pulling or hoisting rope. The vehicles can be fixed by means of their clamping device on the pull or hoisting rope or uncoupled from the train or hoisting rope in the stations.

In single-cable circulating ropeways, which are also called monocable orbits, the revolving rope has at the same time a support and locomotion function and is called hoisting rope. Furthermore, circulating cable cars are known in which the vehicles are moved by means of drives on a stationary carrying cable, wherein a respective vehicle is clamped by means of the clamping device to a rotating traction cable. Also circulating ropeways with multiple suspension ropes are known.

In addition to circulating cable cars pendulum tracks are known in which the direction of travel of the vehicle or the sense of rotation of the pull or hoisting rope changes during operation.

Vehicles, which have a cabin, serve in particular the safe and comfortable transport of the passengers, regardless of the weather conditions. Winter athletes with buckled winter sports equipment but must unlock their winter sports equipment before entering the cabin and give in any existing brackets for the winter sports equipment. Cabins of circulating cable cars are often equipped with sliding windows, with relatively small disc elements can be moved horizontally. In this case, however, a largely closed character of the cabin is maintained even in the open state of the sliding windows, which can be a disadvantage, especially in fair weather.

In chairlifts, the vehicles are designed in the form of cable car chairs, in which the winter sportsmen can keep their winter sports equipment while driving, but for pedestrians the entry into the moving cable car chair is uncomfortable and users of chairlifts weather exposure are more exposed. To protect against the weather weather protection hoods are usually provided in modern chairlifts, which can be pivoted starting from a folded open position into a folded down closed position to form a largely closed area for the users together with the cable car chair. Such cable car chair are for example from the US 5 213 048 A known.

In so-called combined railways, a first group of vehicles with cabins and a second group of vehicles in the form of cable car chairs are present, which are alternately brought into the circulation of the cable car system. Separate access points are provided for both vehicle types.

The object of the invention is to provide an advantageous vehicle of the type mentioned for a circulating cable, which allows the use of at least one relatively large sliding element in a compact design.

According to the invention, this is achieved by a vehicle having the features of claim 1.

In the vehicle for a circulating cable car according to the invention, the sliding guides extend arcuately and the sliding element can be moved between a pushed-down closed position and a pushed-open position.

The opening released by the at least one sliding element in its open position can in this case point obliquely upwards in an upper region of this opening, preferably at an angle of more than 45 ° to the horizontal. For the user, this opening then extends emotionally into the roof area of the vehicle, resulting in a largely open impression of the vehicle for the user in the open state of the at least one sliding element. In this case, a compact and simple design of the vehicle is made possible.

Preferably, the sliding guides are designed to extend in a circular arc for the at least one sliding element.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding guides lie in vertical planes, which are aligned parallel to the direction of travel. It is cheaper here both a sliding element present, which releases a front relative to the direction of travel opening of the passenger unit, as well as a sliding element present, which releases a relation to the direction of travel rear opening of the passenger unit.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the passenger unit has a cabin and in addition to the cabin arranged outside the cabin seating arrangement for sedentary transport of persons, which lies relative to the direction of travel of the vehicle in front of the cabin and is aligned in the direction of travel. In this case, there is at least one, preferably exactly one, sliding element which, in the pushed-down closed position, closes a window opening of the cabin and forms at least one, preferably exactly one, sliding element which, in the pushed-down closed position, forms a weather protection for passengers seated on the seat arrangement. The at least one latter sliding element releases in the pushed-open position an area lying in front of the seat assembly. In this embodiment, people can thus use for transport either the cabin or arranged outside the cabin seating arrangement. Since the seat assembly relative to the direction of travel of the vehicle, which has this in the respective station in the entry or exit, in front of the cabin and is aligned in the direction of travel of the vehicle, the vehicle for boarding on the seat assembly in the usual manner be brought back to the people to be transported, wherein the at least one forward sliding element is in its open position. Also leaving the seat assembly corresponds to that of the known chairlifts. It can thus the advantages of cable cars, which have cars with cabins, and chairlifts are combined, with a simpler and less expensive training than conventional combination tracks is made possible. Such vehicles can be used particularly advantageously in systems which are used both for winter sports and in summer.

In a further aspect, the invention provides a circulating cable car with a pulling or conveying cable, in which at least one vehicle, which is connected or connectable to the pulling or conveying cable, is designed in accordance with the invention. Preferably, all vehicles of the cable car system are designed according to the invention. In particular, in such a circulating cableway, a valley station and a mountain station of the circulating cable each have an entry area for persons to be transported with the cabin and an exit area for persons transported with the cabin, and an entry area for persons to be transported with the seat arrangement and / or an exit area for the seat assembly transported persons. By spatially separate entry and / or exit areas for on the one hand with the cabin to be transported or transported persons and on the other hand on the seat assembly to be transported or transported persons, the passenger change can be facilitated.

The circulating cable is designed in a preferred embodiment as a detachable circulating cable, the clamping device of each vehicle conveniently in the stations of the cable car plant operationally detachable from the pull or hoisting rope and the pull or hoisting rope, a carriage of the vehicle in the stations along a career is movable.

The vehicles of the circulating cable car can also have fixed (= not operationally releasable) with the pulling or hoisting cable connected clamping devices. Ropeway systems of this design are also referred to as fixed clamped cable cars.

In the exemplary embodiment, the hanger 4 has a perpendicular to the direction of travel carrier 40 which is connected at both ends with the passenger unit 8 in the region of the roof of the passenger unit, wherein a gap 42 between the carrier 40 and the passenger unit 8 is formed. The carrier 40 is connected via a supporting part 41 of the hanger 4 with the clamping device 3. The connection between the clamping device 3 and the hanger 4 is articulated, with a pivoting about a horizontal axis lying at right angles to the direction of travel, with which the passenger unit 8 is substantially always perpendicular except for acceleration and deceleration processes. The connection between the carrier 40 and the support member 41 may also be articulated, so that a pivoting about an axis parallel to the direction of travel is given to compensate for example Seitenauspendlungen of the vehicle 1 due to crosswinds can. The articulated connections are shown in the figures only indicated and correspond to the prior art of vehicles with passenger units. The hanger 4 could be formed in a modified manner in detail.

The passenger unit 8 has a cabin 5 with a space bounded by a floor, a roof and walls and an interior arranged outside the cabin 5 seat assembly 6 for sedentary transport of persons. The seat assembly 6 is based on the direction of travel 10 in front of the car 5 and is aligned in the direction of travel 10 of the vehicle 1. The seat assembly 6 is rigidly connected to the car 5.

The seat assembly 6 has in a conventional manner a safety device 60 for fall protection of persons to be transported. In the Fig. 2, 3rd . 5 and 6 the folded-down position of the securing device 60 is shown. In Fig. 5 is in dashed lines additionally indicated the raised position of the securing device 60.

The car 5 is equipped with a seat 50 for persons to be transported in the car 5. The bench 50, which is only in Fig. 10 is indicated schematically by dashed lines, is aligned counter to the direction of travel 10 of the vehicle 1. Instead of a continuous bench 50 and individual seats could be present. Possibly could also be dispensed with a seat or seats and a stationary transport of persons be provided. Also, an orientation of the seat or seats in the direction of travel 10 is conceivable, or it could be additional, aligned in the direction of travel 10 and / or perpendicular to the direction of travel 10 seats or at least one such additional seat could be present.

The car 5 has a door opening which can be closed by a car door 51. The door opening is transversely, in particular at right angles, aligned with the direction of travel 10. Also deviations from the orthogonal orientation in the range of +/- 30 ° are still considered in this document as an orientation transverse to the direction of travel 10. For a lateral entry into the cabin 5 is realized. With an orientation of the door opening perpendicular to the direction of travel 10, the door is in the closed state, possibly even in the open state, parallel to the direction of travel 10. In Fig. 1 the cabin door 51 is closed while in Fig. 2 the open cabin door 51 is partially visible (in Fig. 3 the car door 51 is again shown closed).

The cabin door 51 has a single door leaf in the exemplary embodiment. Other embodiments are conceivable and possible. For example, the car door 51 could also have two door leaves which close the door opening.

The door opening is arranged in one of the side walls of the car 5, wherein this side wall is preferably parallel to the direction of travel 10 of the vehicle 1.

A preferably provided outside quiver 52 of the cabin 5 serves to accommodate winter sports equipment. In the embodiment, the quiver 52 is attached to the car door 51.

The cabin floor 53, which is only in Fig. 10 is indicated with a dashed line, is advantageously carried out stepped, with a free space 54 is formed below the car 5. This serves to accommodate winter sports equipment transported on the seat assembly 6 persons, especially skis and snowboards, which are retained on the seat assembly 6 during transport. Such a clearance 54 allows for a compact design of the vehicle 1 with respect to the direction of travel 10. The clearance 54 extends favorably into the lying under the seat 50 or the alternative seats provided area.

The passenger unit 8 is equipped with sliding elements 12, 13. These can each be moved between a pushed down closed position and a pushed open position and are for this purpose along sliding guides 14, 14 '; 15, 15 'slidably guided. A respective sliding guide 14, 14 ', 15, 15' extends along a circular arc which lies in a vertical plane lying parallel to the direction of travel 10. The guide of a respective sliding element 12, 13 takes place in the region of opposite edges of the respective sliding element 12, 13, wherein in the region of a respective one of the opposite side edges of the sliding element 12, 13 on the sliding element 12, 13 rollers 16 are rotatably mounted in the undercut grooves 17th are guided, cf. Fig. 4 , The grooves 17 are arranged in frame parts 18, 18 'of the passenger unit 8. The frame parts 18, 18 'thus also extend in a circular arc. The frame members 18, 18 'assigned to the opposite side edges of a respective sliding element 12, 13 are spaced apart in the direction at right angles to the direction of travel 10.

In vertical sections parallel to the direction of travel 10, the sliding elements 12, 13 have a shape extending along a circular arc.

Rolling bearings for slidably guiding the sliding elements 12, 13 could also be formed in other ways, e.g. by means of recirculating ball bearings. The rolling elements could in this case also be arranged on the side of the passenger unit.

Instead of the antifriction bearings shown, the sliding elements 12, 13 could in principle also be displaceably guided by means of slide bearings.

The sliding elements 12, 13 each have a frame 19 and at least one transparent disc 20 held by the frame 19.

The rearward with respect to the direction of travel 10 sliding element 13 is a sliding window of the car 5 in the pushed down closed position of the sliding element 13th This closes the window opening of the car 5. In the pushed up open position, a window opening is released, which extends in an upper region of the window opening to the roof area of the car 5. In the pushed down closed position of the sliding element 13 of this upper region of the window opening closing portion of the sliding element 13 includes an angle of more than 45 ° with the horizontal.

The front relative to the direction of travel sliding element 12 forms in the retracted closed position together with other parts of the passenger unit 8 a weather protection hood for sitting on the seat assembly 6 persons. Below the sliding element 12 which is in its pushed-down closed position, an opening for the legs of persons sitting on the seat arrangement 6 remains. This weather protection cover comprises apart from the sliding element 12 on both sides of the seat assembly 6 extending side wall portions 21, 21 'of the passenger unit 8 and in the embodiment a over the seat assembly 6 extending portion of a roof part 22 of the passenger unit, which adjoins the upper edge of the closed sliding element 12. If the upper portion of the closed sliding member 12 extends far enough to the rear, this portion of the roof part 22 may also be omitted.

In the pushed up open position relative to the direction of travel forward sliding element 12 releases a lying in front of the seat assembly 6 area to allow entry and exit.

In the pushed-open positions of the sliding elements 12, 13 is one of the sliding elements 12, 13 above the roof part 22 of the passenger unit 8 and one of the sliding elements 12, 13 below the roof part 22 of the passenger unit 8, see. especially Fig. 10 , The above the roof part 22 of the Passenger unit 8 lying sliding element 13 extends through the gap 42 between the carrier 40 and the roof part 22nd

In the pushed-up state of the sliding elements 12, 13, both sliding elements 12, 13 above the roof part 22 or both sliding elements 12, 13 could lie underneath the roof part 22.

For example, both sliding elements 12, 13 can extend over angles 23, 24, which in each case lie in the range of 50 ° to 90 °, particularly preferably in the range of 65 ° to 75 °.

The roof part 22 may, for example, extend over an angle 25 which is in the range of 20 ° to 40 °.

In the pushed-open position of the sliding element 12, this releases the entry into the seat assembly 6 or exit from the seat assembly 6.

An embodiment of a corresponding cableway system in the form of a circulating cable car, which has vehicles 1 of the type described above, is in the FIGS. 11 and 12 shown. The ropeway equipment is shown in simplified form in the figures in order to ensure clarity, and may, in addition to the peculiarities described below, correspond to the state of the art for conventional circulating ropeways.

In the exemplary embodiment, a detachable monocable orbit is shown. In the area of the station 7, the vehicle 1 is uncoupled from the hoist rope 2. The coupling device is not shown separately and known in connection with detachable cable car facilities in and of itself.

Based on FIG. 6 the passage of a vehicle 1 according to the invention can be reproduced by the station 7. After reaching the station 7 and the uncoupling of the vehicle 1 from the hoist rope 2, the vehicle 1 is conveyed, for example by means of tire conveyors 79 through the station. In this case, the vehicle 1 moves in the station 7 along a track 78, which is indicated in the figures. To ensure locomotion on the track 78, the vehicle 1 has a carriage 11. This includes rollers that roll on the track 78. The speed of the vehicle 1 is reduced by suitable translation of the individual tires of the tire conveyor 79 with respect to the cable speed so that a corresponding change of passengers can take place.

The vehicle 1 passes through the exit area 71 for persons transported with the car 5 and the access area 70 for persons to be transported with the car 5, the car door 51 is opened accordingly. In these areas, the passenger change of the passengers of the car 5 takes place. Before reaching the end of the boarding area 70, the car door 51 is closed again.

The station 7 additionally has an entry area 72 for persons to be transported with the seat arrangement 6. For example, skiers or snowboarders pass over the access area 76 to the entry area 72 in order to sit on the seat arrangement 6. The vehicle 1, or the seat assembly 6 is brought from behind to the passengers. In the access area 76 are not shown access barriers, which make the timing of the passengers with respect to the position of the vehicles 1 in the station circulation. After seating the persons on the seat assembly 6, the vehicle 1 moves over a ramp to fully accommodate the weight of the persons. After closing the securing device 60, the vehicle 1 is again coupled to the hoisting rope 2.

The sense of rotation of the hoisting rope 2 is in Fig. 12 Removable by the arrows. The direction of travel 10 of a respective vehicle 1 corresponds in the connected to the hoisting rope 2 state of the vehicle 1, the direction of movement of the hoisting rope 2 and after uncoupling in a respective station the direction in which the track 78 extends. The car door 51 of the vehicle 1 is located on the outside of the vehicle 1 with respect to the track axis. It is conceivable and possible for the vehicle 1 to have a car door or an additional car door on the opposite side.

In an analogous manner, a mountain station, not shown in the figures, has an exit area for persons transported with the seat arrangement 6, an exit area for persons transported with the car 5, and an entry area for persons to be transported with the car 5.

Other arrangements of the entry and exit areas for passengers of the car 5 or the seat assembly 6 could be provided. In cable car industry further versions of stations are known, which are also suitable for the vehicle 1 according to the invention. So could e.g. Also, a so-called 90 ° -Einstieg be realized in which the access area or the entry area for the person to be transported with the seat assembly 6 is arranged at right angles to the track axis. It is also conceivable and possible that the exit area for transported with the seat assembly 6 persons seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle 1, after the on or. Exit area is arranged.

In addition to single-cable orbits, the vehicle 1 is also suitable for multi-cable orbits. In this case, the vehicle 1 then rolls with a trained as a drive carriage 11 on at least one tensioned between the stations suspension rope.

The vehicle 1 could also be used in so-called fixed-clamp circulating cable cars. It is conceivable and possible that also a pulsed operation is driven, in which the vehicle in the station comes to a complete stop and after the passenger change the continuation of the cable car takes place.

Various further modifications of the described embodiment are conceivable and possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the sliding guides 14, 14 ', 15, 15' could have arcuate courses that deviate from circular arcs.

Not shown in the drawings are elements which hold the sliding elements 12, 13 in the pushed open positions. Conveniently, for example counterweights may be provided for this purpose, which are pulled up when pushing down a respective sliding element 12, 13. A frictional mounting, mounting by means of locking elements, etc. is conceivable and possible.

The pushing up and down of the sliding elements could in principle also be done automatically, by automatic control and / or due to the actuation of a corresponding control by the user.

A construction according to the invention is also conceivable and possible in connection with passenger units, which are designed overall as a cabin, that is to say have no additional external seating arrangement.

It would also be possible in principle for the sliding guides to lie in vertical planes which are at right angles to the direction of travel 10.
