Description

Installation de transport par câble  Cable transport installation
Domaine technique de l'invention Technical field of the invention
L'invention concerne les installations de transport par câble, et plus particulièrement les installations de transport par câble aérien. The invention relates to cable transport installations, and more particularly to cable transport installations.
État de la technique State of the art
Actuellement, on utilise des téléphériques, tels des télésièges ou télécabines, à câble aérien, pour transporter des passagers pratiquant des loisirs en montagne. Ces téléphériques peuvent, momentanément, tomber en panne et empêcher le transport des passagers pendant le temps de remise en marche du téléphérique. Currently, cable cars, such as chairlifts or gondola lifts, are used to transport passengers practicing mountain leisure activities. These cable cars can momentarily break down and prevent the transport of passengers during the time of restarting the cable car.
Il est donc utile de fournir un téléphérique à câble aérien, ou une installation de transport par câble au sol, qui assure un débit minimum du transport des passagers. It is therefore useful to provide an aerial cable car, or a ground cable transport facility, which provides a minimum flow of passenger transport.
Il existe actuellement des installations à câble aérien comprenant deux téléphériques indépendants disposés en parallèle. Chaque téléphérique comporte une seule cabine, et est du type va-et-vient, c'est-à-dire que l'aller et le retour de la cabine se fait sur la même voie. Cette installation procure une certaine souplesse dans le débit de transport de passagers, car si un téléphérique tombe en panne, le deuxième téléphérique peut prendre le relais pour assurer le transport des passagers. Néanmoins, une telle installation présent l'inconvénient d'avoir un débit faible, car il est nécessaire d'attendre le retour de la cabine qui fonctionne pour embarquer à nouveau des passagers. Objet de l'invention There are currently aerial cable installations including two independent cableways arranged in parallel. Each cable car has a single cabin, and is of the type back and forth, that is to say that the way and return of the cabin is on the same track. This facility provides some flexibility in the flow of passengers, because if a cable car fails, the second cable car can take over to ensure the transport of passengers. However, such an installation has the disadvantage of having a low flow, because it is necessary to wait for the return of the cabin that operates to board passengers again. Object of the invention
L'objet de l'invention consiste à remédier à ces inconvénients, et plus particulièrement à fournir une installation de transport par câble qui puisse assurer un débit minimum du transport de passagers. The object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages, and more particularly to provide a cable transport facility that can ensure a minimum flow of passenger transport.
Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à fournir une installation présentant un encombrement minimum. Another object of the invention is to provide a facility with a minimum footprint.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, il est proposé une installation de transport par câble, comportant au moins un véhicule, un premier câble tracteur pour tracter un véhicule et décrivant une première boucle fermée, et un deuxième câble tracteur pour tracter un véhicule et décrivant une deuxième boucle fermée. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a cable transport installation, comprising at least one vehicle, a first towing cable for towing a vehicle and describing a first closed loop, and a second towing cable for towing a vehicle and describing a second closed loop.
Dans cette installation, la deuxième boucle entoure la première boucle de manière à créer un espace de séparation entre les premier et deuxième câbles tracteurs. In this installation, the second loop surrounds the first loop so as to create a separation space between the first and second towing cables.
Ainsi, on offre une installation qui permet d'augmenter la disponibilité des véhicules pour l'embarquement ou le débarquement des passagers. En effet, on peut arrêter l'entraînement d'un premier câble tracteur, par exemple pour assurer la maintenance, ou en cas de panne, tout en conservant la possibilité d'utiliser le deuxième câble tracteur. Une telle installation permet donc d'assurer la redondance de l'entraînement des véhicules. En outre, lorsque le deuxième câble tracteur entoure le premier câble tracteur, chaque voie de circulation des véhicules peut ne comporter qu'un seul câble tracteur, c'est-à- dire qu'elles ne comportent pas le retour du câble tracteur comme c'est le cas des installations actuelles, ainsi on diminue l'encombrement latéral des voies de circulation des véhicules. L'installation peut comprendre un quai d'embarquement/débarquement situé à l'intérieur de l'espace de séparation. Thus, we offer an installation that increases the availability of vehicles for boarding or disembarking passengers. Indeed, it can stop the drive of a first towing cable, for example to ensure maintenance, or in case of failure, while maintaining the possibility of using the second towing cable. Such an installation therefore makes it possible to ensure the redundancy of the drive of the vehicles. In addition, when the second towing cable surrounds the first towing cable, each vehicle taxiway may comprise only one towing cable, that is to say that they do not include the return of towing cable as c This is the case of current installations, thus reducing the lateral dimensions of the vehicle traffic lanes. The installation may include a loading / unloading platform located inside the separation space.
L'installation peut comprendre une première voie de circulation pour véhicule tracté par le premier câble tracteur, et une deuxième voie de circulation pour véhicule tracté par le deuxième câble tracteur, la longueur de la première voie de circulation étant inférieure à celle de la deuxième voie de circulation. The installation may comprise a first traffic lane for a vehicle towed by the first towing cable, and a second lane for vehicles towed by the second towing cable, the length of the first lane being less than that of the second lane. of circulation.
L'installation peut comprendre un véhicule muni d'une attache débrayable pour accoupler de manière amovible le véhicule à au moins un câble tracteur. The installation may comprise a vehicle equipped with a disengageable attachment for releasably coupling the vehicle to at least one towing cable.
L'installation peut comprendre un premier moyen d'entraînement du premier câble tracteur le long de la première voie de circulation, et un deuxième moyen d'entraînement du deuxième câble tracteur le long de la deuxième voie de circulation, le deuxième moyen d'entraînement étant distinct du premier moyen d'entraînement.

Description détaillée detailed description
Sur la figure 1 , on a représenté une installation 1 de transport par câble 2, 3. L'installation 1 comporte au moins un véhicule 4 à 10, un premier câble tracteur 2 pour tracter un véhicule 4 à 10 et décrivant une première boucle fermée, et un deuxième câble tracteur 3 pour tracter un véhicule 4 à 10 décrivant une deuxième boucle fermée. Les véhicules 4 à 10 sont destinés à être accouplés à au moins un câble tracteur 2, 3 pour être tractés afin de transporter des passagers, ou des marchandises. Les véhicules 4 à 10 peuvent être destinés à transporter des passagers et sont à habitacle ouvert, tels des sièges, ou à habitacle fermé comme des cabines, ou peuvent encore être destinés à transporter des marchandises et sont des conteneurs. FIG. 1 shows a cable transportation installation 1 2. The installation 1 comprises at least one vehicle 4 to 10, a first towing cable 2 for towing a vehicle 4 to 10 and describing a first closed loop. , and a second tractor cable 3 for towing a vehicle 4 to 10 describing a second closed loop. The vehicles 4 to 10 are intended to be coupled to at least one towing cable 2, 3 to be towed in order to transport passengers or goods. The vehicles 4 to 10 may be intended to carry passengers and are in open cockpit, such as seats, or with closed cockpit as cabins, or may still be intended to carry goods and are containers.
De manière générale, l'installation 1 comporte une première voie de circulation X pour véhicule 4 à 6 le long de laquelle le premier câble tracteur 2 est entraîné, et une deuxième voie de circulation Y pour véhicule 7 à 10 le long de laquelle le deuxième câble tracteur 3 est entraîné. Sur la figure 1 , on a représenté trois véhicules 4 à 6 accouplés au premier câble tracteur 2 et quatre véhicules 7 à 10 accouplés au deuxième câble tracteur 2. L'espacement entre les véhicules 4 à 10 circulant le long d'une même voie X,In general, the installation 1 comprises a first traffic lane X for a vehicle 4 to 6 along which the first traction cable 2 is driven, and a second lane of circulation Y for the vehicle 7 to 10 along which the second Tractor cable 3 is driven. In Figure 1, represented three vehicles 4 to 6 coupled to the first towing cable 2 and four vehicles 7 to 10 coupled to the second towing cable 2. The spacing between the vehicles 4 to 10 traveling along the same path X,
Y n'est pas forcément constant. L'espacement entre les véhicules 4 à 10 peut varier d'une voie à l'autre. En d'autres termes les voies de circulation X,Y is not necessarily constant. The spacing between vehicles 4 to 10 may vary from one lane to another. In other words the X traffic lanes,
Y sont indépendantes. L'installation 1 peut être du type téléphérique, c'est-à- dire que les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 sont aériens et les véhicules 4 à 10 sont suspendus au-dessus du sol, comme illustré aux figures 2 à 8. En variante, l'installation 1 peut être du type transport par câble au sol, et les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 sont situés au niveau du sol, comme illustré aux figures 9 et 10. Selon cette variante, l'installation 1 comprend une structure porteuse ayant plusieurs rails porteurs sur le sol et sur lesquels sont posés les véhicules 4 à 10. On peut également envisager que l'installation 1 est une installation du type mixte comprenant une voie de circulation X, Y du type téléphérique et une voie de circulation X, Y du type transport par câble au sol. Par ailleurs, lorsqu'une voie de circulation X, Y est du type téléphérique, elle peut comprendre un unique câble 2, 3 à la fois tracteur et porteur, ou comprendre un câble tracteur 2, 3 et un ou plusieurs câbles porteurs, ou encore comprendre deux câbles tracteurs disposés en parallèle et entraînés dans le même sens de défilement avec un ou plusieurs câbles porteurs ou encore sans câble porteur. Lorsqu'une voie de circulation X, Y est du type transport par câble au sol, elle peut comprendre un unique câble tracteur 2, 3 ou deux câbles tracteurs disposés en parallèle et entraînés dans le même sens de défilement. Y are independent. The installation 1 may be of the cableway type, that is to say that the towing cables 2, 3 are overhead and the vehicles 4 to 10 are suspended above the ground, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 8. In a variant , the installation 1 may be of the ground cable transport type, and the tractive cables 2, 3 are located at ground level, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. According to this variant, the installation 1 comprises a carrier structure having several carrier rails on the ground and on which are placed the vehicles 4 to 10. It is also conceivable that the installation 1 is a mixed type of installation comprising a traffic lane X, Y of the cable car type and a taxiway X, Y of the cable transport type on the ground. Moreover, when a traffic lane X, Y is of the cable car type, it may comprise a single cable 2, 3 both tractor and carrier, or include a towing cable 2, 3 and one or more carrying cables, or include two tractors cables arranged in parallel and driven in the same direction of travel with one or more carrier cables or without cable carrier. When an X, Y taxiway is of the cable transport type on the ground, it may comprise a single towing cable 2, 3 or two towing cables arranged in parallel and driven in the same direction of travel.
Plus particulièrement, la deuxième boucle fermée décrite par le deuxième câble tracteur 3, entoure la première boucle fermée décrite par le premier câble tracteur 2, de sorte qu'un espace de séparation 1 1 est créé entre les premier et deuxième câbles tracteurs 2, 3. En d'autres termes la deuxième voie de circulation Y entoure la première voie de circulation X. On entend par « entourer », le fait que la première boucle fermée décrite par le premier câble tracteur 2 est située à l'intérieur de la deuxième boucle fermée décrite par le deuxième câble tracteur 3. C'est-à-dire que la première voie de circulation X est positionnée à l'intérieur de la deuxième voie de circulation Y. Une telle disposition des câbles tracteurs 2, 3 permet d'assurer une plus grande disponibilité des véhicules 4 à 10 afin de garantir un débit minimum du transport des passagers. En effet, lorsqu'une voie de circulation X, Y est en panne, ou en maintenance, le défilement du câble tracteur de la voie X, Y est arrêté, et les passagers peuvent utiliser l'autre voie de circulation X, Y dont le câble tracteur 2, 3 associé est en fonctionnement. Par exemple, les voies de circulation X, Y peuvent être parallèles sur l'étendue de leurs parcours. Selon un mode de réalisation, la longueur de la première voie de circulation X est inférieure à celle de la deuxième voie de circulation Y. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la longueur du premier câble tracteur 2 est inférieure à celle du deuxième câble tracteur 3. More particularly, the second closed loop described by the second traction cable 3, surrounds the first closed loop described by the first traction cable 2, so that a separation space January 1 is created between the first and second towing cables 2, 3 In other words, the second traffic lane Y surrounds the first traffic lane X. By "surround" is meant the fact that the first closed loop described by the first Tractor cable 2 is located inside the second closed loop described by the second tractive cable 3. That is to say that the first lane X is positioned inside the second lane Y. Such an arrangement of towing cables 2, 3 ensures greater availability of vehicles 4 to 10 to ensure a minimum flow of passenger transport. In fact, when an X, Y taxiway is out of order, or in maintenance mode, the X, Y-track tractor cable is stopped, and the passengers can use the other taxiway X, Y whose Tractor cable 2, 3 associated is in operation. For example, the traffic lanes X, Y may be parallel over the extent of their routes. According to one embodiment, the length of the first traffic lane X is smaller than that of the second traffic lane Y. According to another embodiment, the length of the first tractive cable 2 is less than that of the second tractive cable 3 .
L'installation 1 peut comprendre une ou plusieurs gares 12 à 17. Les gares 12 à 17 sont adaptées pour le débarquement/embarquement des passagers au sein des véhicules 4 à 10. Une gare 12 à 17, peut comprendre un quai 18 d'embarquement et/ou de débarquement des passagers. En particulier, les quais 18 des gares 12 à 17 sont situés à l'intérieur de l'espace de séparation 1 1 . Le quai 18 facilite l'accès pour les passagers aux deux voies de circulation X, Y. Depuis un même quai 1 1 , un passager peut choisir d'embarquer dans un véhicule 4 à 10 circulant le long d'une voie X, Y ou de l'autre voie X, Y. L'installation 1 permet donc à un passager de se déplacer d'une gare 12 à 17 à l'autre en empruntant l'une au l'autre des voies de circulation X, Y. On assure ainsi le transport des passagers depuis une gare 12 à 17 vers l'une quelconque des autres gares 12 à 17, même si l'une des voies de circulation X, Y ne fonctionne plus. La position des quais 18 situés entre les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 permet de diminuer l'encombrement latéral des gares 12 à 17, en d'autres termes on réduit la surface d'occupation au sol des gares 12 à 17. Les véhicules 4 à 10 sont en outre équipés d'une attache 19 pour les accoupler à un câble tracteur 2, 3, comme illustré sur les figures 2 à 8 et 10. Préférentiellement, les attaches 19 sont du type débrayable. Une attache 19 débrayable accouple de manière amovible un véhicule 4 à 10 à un câble tracteur 2, 3, c'est-à-dire qu'elle permet au véhicule 4 à 10 d'être désaccouplé d'un câble tracteur 2, 3. On entend par « désaccouplé », le fait qu'un véhicule 4 à 10 n'est pas lié mécaniquement à un câble tracteur 2, 3, en d'autres termes le véhicule 4 à 10 n'est pas en contact mécanique avec le câble tracteur 2, 3. Au contraire, on entend par « accouplé », le fait que le véhicule 4 à 10 est lié mécaniquement à un câble tracteur 2, 3, c'est-à-dire que le véhicule 4 à 10 est en contact mécanique avec le câble tracteur 2, 3 et le véhicule est solidaire du câble tracteur 2, 3. En outre, une attache 19 débrayable peut occuper une position fermée pour accoupler le véhicule 4 à 10 afin qu'il soit tracté par le câble tracteur 2, 3, et peut occuper une position ouverte pour le désaccoupler du câble tracteur 2, 3. The installation 1 may comprise one or more stations 12 to 17. The stations 12 to 17 are adapted for the disembarkation / embarkation of the passengers within the vehicles 4 to 10. A station 12 to 17, may include a boarding platform 18 and / or landing passengers. In particular, the platforms 18 of the stations 12 to 17 are located inside the separation space January 1. The platform 18 facilitates access for passengers to the two traffic lanes X, Y. From the same wharf 1 1, a passenger can choose to board a vehicle 4 to 10 traveling along a path X, Y or the other way X, Y. The installation 1 allows a passenger to move from one station 12 to 17 to another by borrowing one from the other of the traffic lanes X, Y. On thus ensures the transport of passengers from a station 12 to 17 to any of the other stations 12 to 17, even if one of the traffic lanes X, Y no longer works. The position of the platforms 18 located between the towing cables 2, 3 makes it possible to reduce the lateral dimensions of the stations 12 to 17, in other words the floor occupation area of the stations 12 to 17 is reduced. The vehicles 4 to 10 are furthermore equipped with a fastener 19 for coupling them to a towing cable 2, 3, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 8 and 10. Preferably, the fasteners 19 are of the disengageable type. A detachable clip 19 removably couples a vehicle 4 to 10 to a towing cable 2, 3, that is to say, it allows the vehicle 4 to 10 to be uncoupled from a towing cable 2, 3. The term "uncoupled" means that a vehicle 4 to 10 is not mechanically linked to a towing cable 2, 3, in other words the vehicle 4 to 10 is not in mechanical contact with the cable tractor 2, 3. On the contrary, by "coupled" means that the vehicle 4 to 10 is mechanically connected to a towing cable 2, 3, that is to say that the vehicle 4 to 10 is in contact mechanical with the towing cable 2, 3 and the vehicle is secured to the towing cable 2, 3. In addition, a detachable clip 19 can occupy a closed position for coupling the vehicle 4 to 10 so that it is towed by the towing cable 2 , 3, and can occupy an open position to uncouple it from the towing cable 2, 3.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'installation 1 est une installation de transport du type débrayable, c'est-à-dire que les véhicules 4 à 10 comprennent, chacun, une attache 19 débrayable. Une installation 1 du type débrayable permet d'augmenter le débit du transport de passagers car il n'est pas nécessaire d'arrêter les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 pour immobiliser les véhicules 4 à 10 au niveau des quais 18 afin que les passagers puissent embarquer ou débarquer des véhicules 4 à 10. According to a preferred embodiment, the installation 1 is a transport device of the disengageable type, that is to say that the vehicles 4 to 10 each comprise a detachable clip 19. An installation 1 of the disengageable type increases the flow of passenger transport because it is not necessary to stop the towing cables 2, 3 to immobilize vehicles 4 to 10 at the platforms 18 so that passengers can board or disembark vehicles 4 to 10.
De manière générale, l'installation 1 comprend un premier moyen d'entraînement 20 du premier câble tracteur 2 le long de la première voie de circulation X, et un deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 du deuxième câble tracteur 3 le long de la deuxième voie de circulation Y. De préférence, le deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 est distinct du premier moyen d'entraînement 20, afin d'assurer la redondance des voies de circulation X, Y. En d'autres termes les moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 sont indépendants. Les moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 peuvent être configurés pour entraîner, chacun, un câble tracteur 2, 3 selon une direction de défilement 22, 23. Par exemple les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 peuvent être entraînés dans la même direction de défilement 22, ou selon deux directions opposées 22, 23. En variante, les moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 peuvent être réversibles et peuvent inverser le sens de défilement des câbles tracteurs 2, 3. Un moyen d'entraînement 20, 21 peut comprendre, par exemple, une poulie motrice 24, 25. Lorsque l'installation 1 comporte une voie de circulation X, Y du type débrayable, c'est-à-dire lorsque les véhicules 4 à 10 circulant sur la voie X, Y sont équipés chacun d'une attache 19 débrayable, le moyen d'entraînement 20, 21 associé à la voie de circulation X, Y comporte avantageusement deux poulies de déviation 26 à 29 pour dévier le câble tracteur 2, 3 qu'il entraîne en direction de sa poulie motrice 24, 25. Grâce aux poulies de déviation 26 à 29, on peut décaler la poulie motrice 24, 25 par rapport à la voie de circulation des véhicules 4 à 10. La poulie motrice 24, 25 entraînant un câble tracteur 2, 3 peut être située à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la boucle fermée décrite par le câble tracteur 2, 3 qu'elle entraîne. En particulier, lorsque une voie de circulation X, Y est débrayable et que la poulie motrice 24, 25 associée est située à l'intérieur de la boucle fermée décrite par le câble tracteur 2, 3 qu'elle entraîne, les véhicules désaccouplés sont extraits du câble tracteur 2, 3 vers l'intérieur de la voie X, Y, c'est-à-dire vers l'intérieur de la boucle fermée décrite par le câble. A l'inverse, lorsque la poulie motrice 24, 25 est située à l'extérieur d'une boucle fermée décrite par le câble tracteur 2, 3 qu'elle entraîne, les véhicules désaccouplés sont extraits du câble tracteur 2, 3 vers l'extérieur de la voie X, Y, c'est-à-dire vers l'extérieur de la boucle fermée décrite par le câble. Avantageusement, la poulie motrice 25 entraînant le deuxième câble tracteur 3 est positionnée à l'intérieur de la deuxième boucle fermée et la poulie motrice 24 entraînant le premier câble tracteur 2 est positionnée à l'extérieur de la première boucle fermée. Ainsi, les véhicules 4 à 6 circulant le long de la première voie X peuvent être extraits vers l'extérieur de la première voie X, et les véhicules 7 à 10 circulant le long de la deuxième voie Y peuvent être extraits vers l'intérieur de la deuxième voie Y. En d'autres termes, chaque véhicule 4 à 10 peut être extrait d'un câble tracteur 2, 3 vers l'espace de séparation 1 1 , c'est-à-dire vers le quai 18 d'une gare 12 à 17. On diminue donc l'encombrement des gares 12 à 17. On peut noter également sur les figures 2 et 4, que la poulie motrice 24 entraînant le premier câble tracteur 2 est située à l'intérieur de la deuxième boucle et que la poulie motrice 25 entraînant le deuxième câble tracteur 3 est située à l'extérieur de la première boucle. On note également que les poulies motrices 24, 25 peuvent être positionnées à distance du quai 18 d'embarquement/débarquement. In general, the installation 1 comprises a first drive means 20 of the first traction cable 2 along the first traffic lane X, and a second drive means 21 of the second traction cable 3 along the second lane. preferably, the second drive means 21 is distinct from the first drive means 20, in order to ensure the redundancy of the traffic lanes X, Y. In other words, the drive means 20, 21 are independent. The drive means 20, 21 may be configured to drive each, a towing cable 2, 3 in a running direction 22, 23. For example the towing cables 2, 3 can be driven in the same direction of travel 22, or in two opposite directions 22, 23. In a variant, the drive means 20, 21 may be reversible and may reverse the direction of travel of the towing cables 2, 3. A driving means 20, 21 may comprise, for example , a drive pulley 24, 25. When the installation 1 comprises a circulation path X, Y of the disengageable type, that is to say when the vehicles 4 to 10 traveling on the X track, Y are each equipped with a disengageable fastener 19, the drive means 20, 21 associated with the traffic lane X, Y advantageously comprises two deflection pulleys 26 to 29 to deflect the traction cable 2, 3 that it drives towards its driving pulley 24 , 25. Thanks to the pulleys of devi 26 to 29, the driving pulley 24, 25 can be displaced relative to the traffic lane of the vehicles 4 to 10. The driving pulley 24, 25 driving a towing cable 2, 3 can be located inside or outside the vehicle. outside of the closed loop described by the towing cable 2, 3 which it drives. In particular, when a taxiway X, Y is disengageable and the driving pulley 24, 25 associated is located inside the closed loop described by the towing cable 2, 3 it drives, the uncoupled vehicles are extracted of the towing cable 2, 3 towards the inside of the X, Y, that is to say towards the inside of the closed loop described by the cable. Conversely, when the drive pulley 24, 25 is located outside of a closed loop described by the towing cable 2, 3 which it drives, the uncoupled vehicles are extracted from the towing cable 2, 3 towards the outside the X, Y, that is to say outwardly of the closed loop described by the cable. Advantageously, the driving pulley 25 driving the second traction cable 3 is positioned inside the second closed loop and the driving pulley 24 driving the first traction cable 2 is positioned outside the first closed loop. Thus, vehicles 4 to 6 traveling along the first track X may be extracts to the outside of the first X lane, and the vehicles 7 to 10 flowing along the second lane Y can be extracted to the interior of the second lane Y. In other words, each vehicle 4 to 10 can be extracted from a tractor cable 2, 3 to the separation space 1 1, that is to say to the platform 18 of a station 12 to 17. It reduces the size of the stations 12 to 17. It may also be noted in FIGS. 2 and 4 that the driving pulley 24 driving the first traction cable 2 is situated inside the second loop and that the driving pulley 25 driving the second traction cable 3 is located outside. of the first loop. It is also noted that the drive pulleys 24, 25 may be positioned at a distance from the loading / unloading platform 18.
Sur les figures 2 à 10, on a représenté différents modes de réalisation des moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 des câbles tracteurs 2, 3. De manière générale, on note la gare 12 où est situé un moyen d'entraînement 20, 21 d'un câble tracteur 2, 3, la gare motrice. Les moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 peuvent être situés dans la même gare motrice 12. On peut envisager de placer le premier moyen d'entraînement 20 dans une gare 12 à 17 et le deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 dans une autre gare 12 à 17 distincte. Figures 2 to 10 show different embodiments of the drive means 20, 21 of the towing cables 2, 3. In general, there is the station 12 where is located a drive means 20, 21 d a towing cable 2, 3, the driving station. The drive means 20, 21 can be located in the same power station 12. It is conceivable to place the first drive means 20 in a station 12 to 17 and the second drive means 21 in another station 12 to 17 distinct.
Sur les figures 2 à 8, on a représenté une installation 1 du type téléphérique débrayable. L'installation 1 comporte deux câbles tracteurs aériens 2, 3, les véhicules 4 à 10 comprennent, chacun, une cabine de transport 30 et une suspente 31 . La suspente 31 d'un véhicule 4 à 10 relie la cabine 30 à l'attache 19 du véhicule 4 à 10. La suspente 31 est de préférence située à l'intérieur de l'espace de séparation 1 1 lorsque le véhicule 4 à 10 est accouplé au câble tracteur 2, 3. In Figures 2 to 8, there is shown an installation 1 of the type disengageable cable car. The installation 1 comprises two aerial tractive cables 2, 3, the vehicles 4 to 10 each comprise a transport cabin 30 and a hanger 31. The hanger 31 of a vehicle 4 to 10 connects the car 30 to the fastener 19 of the vehicle 4 to 10. The hanger 31 is preferably located inside the separation space 1 1 when the vehicle 4 to 10 is coupled to the towing cable 2, 3.
Sur la figure 2, on a représenté un mode de réalisation de l'installation 1 , dans laquelle les axes de rotation A24, A25 des poulies motrices 24, 25 et les axes de rotation A26 à A29 des poulies de déviation sont verticaux, c'est- à-dire perpendiculaires au plan de la feuille de la figure 2. La verticale étant une direction qui suit la direction de la pesanteur. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the installation 1, in which the axes of rotation A24, A25 of the drive pulleys 24, 25 and the axes of rotation A26 to A29 of the deflection pulleys are vertical, is- that is perpendicular to the plane of the sheet of FIG. 2. The vertical being a direction which follows the direction of gravity.
Sur la figure 2, on a également représenté les véhicules 4, 5 et 7, 8 selon deux positions distinctes dans l'installation 1 . Un premier véhicule 4 est situé dans la gare 12 où il chemine le long d'un premier circuit de contour C1 de la gare 12. La gare 12 comporte également un deuxième circuit de contour C2. On dit également que le premier véhicule 4 est débrayé, c'est-à-dire qu'il est désaccouplé du premier câble tracteur 2. Dans ce cas, l'attache 19 est dans une position ouverte, et le premier véhicule 4 est désolidarisé du premier câble tracteur 2. Ainsi, le premier véhicule 4 est décroché du câble tracteur 2, on dit également que le premier véhicule 4 est extrait du câble tracteur 2. Le premier véhicule 4 est désaccouplé et chemine le long du premier circuit de contour C1 pour contourner la poulie motrice 24 du premier moyen d'entraînement 20. Puis, après rembarquement/débarquement des passagers, le premier véhicule 4 est accouplé à nouveau au premier câble tracteur 2 pour sortir de la gare 12. Un deuxième véhicule 5 est situé à l'extérieur de la gare 12. L'attache 19 du deuxième véhicule 5 est dans une position fermée, et le deuxième véhicule 5 est tracté par le premier câble tracteur 2 à une vitesse de défilement du premier câble 2. Un troisième véhicule 8 est également situé à l'extérieur de la gare 12, il est accouplé et tracté par le deuxième câble tracteur 3. Un quatrième véhicule 7 est désaccouplé du deuxième câble tracteur 3 et chemine le long du deuxième circuit de contournement C2 pour contourner la poulie motrice 25 du deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 . Les premier et quatrième véhicules 4, 7 peuvent être arrêtés pour qu'ils soient immobiles lorsque les passagers débarquent ou embarquent depuis le quai 18. En outre, l'installation 1 peut comprendre quatre groupes de galets horizontaux 32 placés en entrée et en sortie de la gare 12, pour dévier les câbles tracteurs 2, 3 en direction des poulies motrices 24, 25, et plus particulièrement en direction des poulies de déviation 26 à 29. Sur la figure 3, on a également représenté des moteurs 33, 34 pour entraîner en rotation respectivement les poulies motrices 24, 25. Les moteurs 33, 34 ont des arbres de sortie verticaux couplés respectivement aux poulies motrices 24, 25. En outre, la suspente 31 d'un véhicule 4 à 10 peut comprendre des roues 35 pour rouler sur les circuits de contournement C1 , C2 afin de déplacer les véhicules 4 à 10 au sein des gares 12 à 17. Par ailleurs, l'installation 1 peut comporter un moyen d'accès 36, tel un escalier, ou un escalier roulant, ou un ascenseur, au quai 18 lorsque ce dernier est situé au-dessus du niveau du sol. In FIG. 2, the vehicles 4, 5 and 7, 8 are also represented in two different positions in the installation 1. A first vehicle 4 is located in the station 12 where it travels along a first contour circuit C1 of the station 12. The station 12 also comprises a second contour circuit C2. It is also said that the first vehicle 4 is disengaged, that is to say it is uncoupled from the first towing cable 2. In this case, the fastener 19 is in an open position, and the first vehicle 4 is disengaged of the first towing cable 2. Thus, the first vehicle 4 is unhooked from the towing cable 2, it is also said that the first vehicle 4 is extracted from the towing cable 2. The first vehicle 4 is uncoupled and travels along the first contour circuit C1 to bypass the driving pulley 24 of the first driving means 20. Then, after re-embarkation / disembarkation of the passengers, the first vehicle 4 is coupled again to the first towing cable 2 to exit the station 12. A second vehicle 5 is located at the outside of the station 12. The fastener 19 of the second vehicle 5 is in a closed position, and the second vehicle 5 is towed by the first towing cable 2 at a speed of travel of the first cable 2. A third the second vehicle 8 is also located outside the station 12, it is coupled and towed by the second tractor cable 3. A fourth vehicle 7 is uncoupled from the second tractor cable 3 and travels along the second bypass circuit C2 to circumvent the driving pulley 25 of the second driving means 21. The first and fourth vehicles 4, 7 can be stopped so that they are stationary when the passengers disembark or embark from the platform 18. In addition, the installation 1 may comprise four groups of horizontal rollers 32 placed in input and output of the station 12 to deflect the towing cables 2, 3 in the direction of the drive pulleys 24, 25, and more particularly in the direction of the deflection pulleys 26 to 29. FIG. 3 also shows motors 33, 34 for rotating the driving pulleys 24, 25 respectively. The motors 33, 34 have vertical output shafts respectively coupled to the driving pulleys 24, 25. hanger 31 of a vehicle 4 to 10 may comprise wheels 35 for driving on the bypass circuits C1, C2 in order to move the vehicles 4 to 10 in the stations 12 to 17. Moreover, the installation 1 may comprise a access means 36, such as a staircase, an escalator or an elevator, to the platform 18 when the latter is located above the ground level.
Sur les figures 4 et 5, on a représenté encore un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention. On a représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 certains éléments illustrés aux figures précédentes. Dans ce mode de réalisation, les axes de rotation A24, A25 des poulies motrices 24, 25 et les axes de rotation A26 à A29 des poulies de déviation 26 à 29 sont horizontaux, c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont perpendiculaires à la verticale. Ainsi, on peut positionner les poulies de déviation 26 à 29 à un premier étage E2 de la gare 12. On peut alors positionner les poulies motrices 24, 25 à un deuxième étage E1 situé au- dessus du premier étage E2 ou au-dessous du premier étage E2. De préférence, on positionne les poulies motrices 24, 25 à l'étage E1 situé au- dessous de l'étage E2 où sont positionnées les poulies de déviation 26 à 29 afin de diminuer l'encombrement latéral de la gare 12. Figures 4 and 5, there is shown yet another embodiment of the invention. FIGS. 4 and 5 show some elements illustrated in the preceding figures. In this embodiment, the axes of rotation A24, A25 of the driving pulleys 24, 25 and the axes of rotation A26 to A29 of the deflection pulleys 26 to 29 are horizontal, that is to say that they are perpendicular to the vertical. Thus, the deflection pulleys 26 to 29 can be positioned at a first stage E2 of the station 12. The driving pulleys 24, 25 can then be positioned at a second stage E1 situated above the first stage E2 or below first stage E2. Preferably, the driving pulleys 24, 25 are positioned at the stage E1 situated below the stage E2 where the deflection pulleys 26 to 29 are positioned in order to reduce the lateral bulk of the station 12.
En outre, le fait de positionner une poulie motrice 24, 25 à un étage différent de celui où circule le câble tracteur 2, 3 permet de dégager les véhicules 4 à 10 des circuits de contournement C1 , C2 vers une zone de stationnement Z1 , Z2. En particulier, on peut positionner les poulies de déviation 26, 27 du premier câble tracteur 2 à distance l'une de l'autre pour créer un espace de circulation 37 entre les poulies 26, 27. Cet espace de circulation 37 permet un passage à un premier circuit de dégagement C3 pour véhicules. Chaque zone de stationnement Z1 , Z2 comporte un circuit de dégagement C3, C4 pour ranger les véhicules 4 à 10 qui sont désaccouplés des câbles tracteurs 2, 3. Le premier circuit de dégagement C3 passe à travers l'espace de circulation 37 afin d'extraire des véhicules 4 à 6 du câble tracteur 2. De la même manière, on peut positionner les poulies de déviation 28, 29 du deuxième câble tracteur 3 à distance l'une de l'autre pour créer un autre espace de circulation 38 entre les poulies 28, 29. Cet autre espace de circulation 38 permet le passage du deuxième circuit de dégagement C4 pour véhicules. On a référencé un véhicule 6 suspendu au premier circuit de dégagement C3, et deux véhicules 9, 10 suspendus au deuxième circuit de dégagement C4. On peut noter que selon ce mode de réalisation, les arbres de sortie des moteurs 33, 34 sont également horizontaux. Lorsqu'un véhicule 4 à 10 entre en gare, il est extrait du câble tracteur 2, 3 et chemine le long du circuit de contournement C1 , C2. Puis, soit le véhicule 4 à 10 est à nouveau accouplé au câble tracteur 2, 3 pour sortir de la gare 12 à 17, soit le véhicule 4 à 10 est déplacé, par l'intermédiaire d'un aiguillage, vers un circuit de dégagement C3, C4 pour être stocké dans une zone de stationnement Z1 , Z2. Inversement, un véhicule 4 à 10 stocké dans une zone de stationnement Z1 , Z2 peut être déplacé, par l'intermédiaire d'un aiguillage, vers un circuit de contournement C1 , C2 pour que le véhicule 4 à 10 soit à nouveau accouplé à un câble tracteur 2, 3 pour sortir de la gare 12 à 17. In addition, the fact of positioning a driving pulley 24, 25 to a different floor from that where the towing cable 2, 3 circulates makes it possible to disengage the vehicles 4 to 10 from the bypass circuits C1, C2 towards a parking zone Z1, Z2 . In particular, it is possible to position the deflection pulleys 26, 27 of the first traction cable 2 at a distance from each other to create a circulation space 37 between the pulleys 26, 27. This circulation space 37 allows a transition to a first clearance circuit C3 for vehicles. Each parking zone Z1, Z2 comprises a clearance circuit C3, C4 to store vehicles 4 to 10 which are uncoupled from the towing cables 2, 3. The first clearance circuit C3 passes through the circulation space 37 in order to extract 4 to 6 of the towing cable 2. In the same way, the deflection pulleys 28, 29 of the second towing cable 3 can be positioned at a distance from one another to create another circulation space 38 between the pulleys. 28, 29. This other circulation space 38 allows the passage of the second clearance circuit C4 for vehicles. Reference has been made to a vehicle 6 suspended on the first clearance circuit C3, and two vehicles 9, 10 suspended on the second clearance circuit C4. It may be noted that according to this embodiment, the output shafts of the motors 33, 34 are also horizontal. When a vehicle 4 to 10 enters the station, it is extracted from the towing cable 2, 3 and travels along the bypass circuit C1, C2. Then, the vehicle 4 to 10 is again coupled to the towing cable 2, 3 to exit the station 12 to 17, or the vehicle 4 to 10 is moved, via a switch, to a disengagement circuit C3, C4 to be stored in a parking area Z1, Z2. Conversely, a vehicle 4 to 10 stored in a parking zone Z1, Z2 can be moved, via a switch, to a bypass circuit C1, C2 so that the vehicle 4 to 10 is again coupled to a towing cable 2, 3 to exit the station 12 to 17.
Sur les figures 6 et 7, on a représenté un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, dans lequel les arbres de sortie des moteurs 33, 34 sont verticaux. Selon cet autre mode de réalisation, le deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 comporte deux poulies d'inflexion 40, 41 pour courber le deuxième câble tracteur 3 en direction de la poulie motrice 25. Les axes de rotation A40, A41 respectifs des poulies d'inflexion 40, 41 sont horizontaux, et l'axe de rotation A25 de la poulie motrice 25 est vertical. Plus particulièrement, les axes de rotation A40, A41 des poulies d'inflexion 40, 41 sont coaxiaux. Le premier moyen d'entraînement 20 peut avoir la même configuration que celle décrite pour le deuxième moyen d'entraînement 21 . Avantageusement, les deux moyens d'entraînement 20, 21 ont la même configuration, comme illustré à la figure 7. On a référencé sur la figure 7, une poulie d'inflexion 42 du premier moyen d'entraînement 20 et son axe de rotation A42, sa deuxième poulie d'inflexion n'étant pas représentée pour des raisons de simplification. Ainsi, on peut placer une poulie motrice 24, 25 à un étage E1 différent de l'étage E2 où les poulies de déviation 26 à 29 sont situées, afin de créer un espace de circulation 37, 38 pour extraire des véhicules 4 à 10 des câbles tracteurs 2, 3, tout en entraînant les poulies motrices 24, 25 par un moteur 33, 34 à arbre de sortie vertical. In Figures 6 and 7, there is shown another embodiment of the invention, wherein the output shafts of the motors 33, 34 are vertical. According to this other embodiment, the second drive means 21 comprises two inflection pulleys 40, 41 for bending the second traction cable 3 in the direction of the drive pulley 25. The respective axes of rotation A40, A41 of the pulleys inflection 40, 41 are horizontal, and the axis of rotation A25 of the drive pulley 25 is vertical. More particularly, the axes of rotation A40, A41 of the inflection pulleys 40, 41 are coaxial. The first training means 20 can have the same configuration as described for the second drive means 21. Advantageously, the two drive means 20, 21 have the same configuration, as illustrated in FIG. 7. Reference is made to FIG. 7, an inflection pulley 42 of the first drive means 20 and its axis of rotation A42 its second inflection pulley is not shown for reasons of simplification. Thus, a driving pulley 24, 25 can be placed at a stage E1 different from the stage E2 where the deflection pulleys 26 to 29 are located, in order to create a circulation space 37, 38 for extracting vehicles 4 to 10 from tractive cables 2, 3, while driving the drive pulleys 24, 25 by a motor 33, 34 with vertical output shaft.
Sur la figure 8, on a représenté un pylône 43 adapté pour une installation 1 ayant deux câbles tracteurs aériens 2, 3. Le pylône 43 comporte un fût 44, une tête 45 montée à une extrémité du fût 44, et deux balanciers 46, 47 montés respectivement aux deux extrémités latérales de la tête 45 du pylône 43. Chaque balancier comporte des galets 48 montés à rotation pour permettre un passage des câbles tracteurs 2, 3 et des attaches 19 des véhicules 4 à 10. En particulier les fûts 44 des pylônes 43 sont situés entre les câbles tracteurs 2, 3, et plus particulièrement dans l'espace de séparation 1 1 . De manière à diminuer l'encombrement latéral des voies de circulation X, Y, les potences 31 des véhicules 4 à 10 circulant le long d'une voie de circulation X, Y sont situés entre les fûts 44 des pylônes 44 et les balanciers 46, 47 qui supportent ou compriment le câble de traction 2, 3 associé à la voie X, Y. En outre, les véhicules 4 à 10 ont, chacun, des ouvrants 49 situés du même côté que les potences 31 , c'est-à-dire que les ouvrants font face aux fûts 44 des pylônes 43 lorsque les véhicules 4 à 10 franchissent les pylônes 43. FIG. 8 shows a pylon 43 adapted for an installation 1 having two aerial tractive cables 2, 3. The pylon 43 comprises a shank 44, a head 45 mounted at one end of the shank 44, and two outriggers 46, 47 mounted respectively at the two lateral ends of the head 45 of the pylon 43. Each beam comprises rollers 48 rotatably mounted to allow passage of the towing cables 2, 3 and fasteners 19 of the vehicles 4 to 10. In particular the drums 44 of the towers 43 are located between the towing cables 2, 3, and more particularly in the separation space 1 1. In order to reduce the lateral dimensions of the traffic lanes X, Y, the brackets 31 of the vehicles 4 to 10 traveling along a taxiway X, Y are located between the drums 44 of the pylons 44 and the rockers 46, 47 which support or compress the traction cable 2, 3 associated with the track X, Y. In addition, the vehicles 4 to 10 each have openings 49 located on the same side as the brackets 31, that is to say to say that the doors face the drums 44 of the pylons 43 when the vehicles 4 to 10 cross the pylons 43.
Sur les figures 9 et 10, on a représenté une installation 1 du type transport par câble au sol débrayable. L'installation 1 comporte deux câbles tracteurs 2, 3, au sol. De préférence, chaque moyen d'entraînement 20, 21 comporte une poulie motrice 24, 25 dont l'axe de rotation A24, A25 est horizontal, et deux poulies de déviation 26 à 29, dont les axes de rotation A26 à A29 sont également horizontaux. Les suspentes 31 sont situées sous les véhicules 4 à 10, de préférence au milieu du véhicule. Chaque véhicule 4 à 10 est équipé d'au moins une paire de roues 35 pour rouler sur les circuits de contournement C1 , C2, sur les circuits de dégagement C3, C4, et sur les rails porteurs C5 et C6 de la structure porteuse de l'installation 1 . On peut noter sur la figure 9 que la première voie de circulation X comporte un circuit de dégagement C3, et le circuit de contournement C1 est distinct des rails porteurs C5. La deuxième voie de circulation Y ne comporte pas de circuit de dégagement, et le circuit de contournement C2 coïncide avec les rails porteurs C6. In Figures 9 and 10, there is shown an installation 1 of the cable transport type ground declutchable. The installation 1 comprises two towing cables 2, 3, on the ground. Preferably, each drive means 20, 21 comprises a driving pulley 24, 25 whose axis of rotation A24, A25 is horizontal, and two deflection pulleys 26 to 29, the axes of rotation A26 to A29 are also horizontal. The lines 31 are located under the vehicles 4 to 10, preferably in the middle of the vehicle. Each vehicle 4 to 10 is equipped with at least one pair of wheels 35 for driving on the bypass circuits C1, C2, on the clearance circuits C3, C4, and on the support rails C5 and C6 of the carrier structure of the installation 1. It may be noted in FIG. 9 that the first circulation lane X comprises a clearance circuit C3, and the bypass circuit C1 is distinct from the carrying rails C5. The second traffic lane Y does not have a disengagement circuit, and the bypass circuit C2 coincides with the carrier rails C6.
De manière générale, chaque moyen d'entraînement 20, 21 comporte un système de mise en tension du câble tracteur 2, 3 qu'il entraîne. Le système de mise en tension peut être un vérin, hydraulique ou pneumatique, monté sur le châssis de la poulie motrice 24, 25 pour la déplacer, et par conséquent pour déplacer le câble tracteur 2, 3, afin de le mettre en tension. En variante, le système de mise en tension est formé par les deux poulies de déviation 26 à 29. In general, each drive means 20, 21 comprises a system for tensioning the towing cable 2, 3 which it drives.
