Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Transportsystem mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a transport system with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Transportsysteme sind beispielsweise als sogenannte Zahnradbahnen, Standseilbahnen oder Schrägaufzüge bekannt. Wenn die Fahrbahn kontinuierlich bzw. abschnittsweise unterschiedliche Steigungen aufweist, ist es unter Umständen erforderlich, das Niveau des Transportmittels, also beispielsweise einer Kabine, eines Fahrkorbs oder dergleichen, anzupassen, damit die Fahrgäste bzw. die zu transportierenden Güter auf einem horizontalen Niveau stehen können. Für diese Niveau-Anpassungen werden im Stand der Technik aufwändig geregelte Einrichtungen, beispielsweise Spindelhub- oder Hydraulik-Einheiten, eingesetzt.Such transport systems are known, for example, as so-called rack railways, funicular railways or inclined elevators. If the roadway has different gradients continuously or in sections, it may be necessary to adjust the level of the means of transport, for example a cabin, a car or the like, so that the passengers or the goods to be transported can stand on a horizontal level. In the prior art, elaborately controlled devices, such as spindle lifting or hydraulic units, are used for these level adjustments.

Aus der DE 296 22 386 U1 ist ein gattungsgemäßes Transportsystem bekannt, bei dem ein Fahrwerk entlang einer Fahrbahn verfahrbar ist und das Transportmittel einerseits am Fahrwerk gelenkig gelagert und andererseits mittels Steuerrädern entlang einer Steuerbahn geführt ist.From the DE 296 22 386 U1 a generic transport system is known in which a chassis can be moved along a road and the means of transport is, on the one hand, articulated on the chassis and, on the other hand, guided along a control track by means of control wheels.

Aus der FR 2 603 852 A1 und der SU 1 096 145 A1 sind Transportsysteme bekannt, bei denen das Transportmittel starr mit einem Fahrgestell verbunden ist, das einerseits entlang einer Fahrbahn und andererseits entlang einer Führungsbahn geführt ist.From the FR 2 603 852 A1 and the SU 1 096 145 A1 Transport systems are known in which the means of transport is rigidly connected to a chassis, which is guided along a road on the one hand and along a guideway on the other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Transportsystem der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem eine möglichst einfache und zuverlässige Anpassung des Niveaus des Fahrzeugs an unterschiedliche Steigungen durchgeführt werden kann.The invention is based on the object of providing a transport system of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the level of the vehicle can be adjusted to different gradients as simply and reliably as possible.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit einem Transportsystem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This task is solved with a transport system with the features of claim 1.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, entlang der Fahrbahn eine Führungsbahn anzuordnen, welche auf sehr einfache und störungssichere Weise einen Niveauausgleich des Transportmittels ermöglicht.The basic idea of the invention is to arrange a guideway along the road, which is very simple and enables the level of the means of transport to be equalized in a fail-safe manner.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Transportsystem handelt es sich um ein schienengeführtes System. D.h. dass die Fahrbahn von Schienen gebildet wird, entlang derer sich das Fahrzeug bewegt.The transport system according to the invention is a rail-guided system. This means that the roadway is formed by rails along which the vehicle moves.

Erfindungsgenmäß weist die Führungsbahn wenigstens eine Führungsschiene auf. Bevorzugt ist, dass die Führungseinrichtung wenigstens eine Führungsrolle aufweist. Anstelle einer Führungsrolle könnte bei der Erfindung aber auch eine an der Führungsschiene gleitende Einrichtung, z.B. eine Gleitkufe, verwendet werden.According to the invention, the guide track has at least one guide rail. It is preferred that the guide device has at least one guide roller. Instead of a guide roller, a device sliding on the guide rail, for example a skid, could also be used in the invention.

Die Niveauregelung kann beim erfindungsgemäßen Transportsystem damit bevorzugt auf ausschließlich mechanische Weise erfolgen, was nicht nur mit geringen Herstellungskosten, sondern auch mit geringen Wartungskosten verbunden und sehr störungssicher ist. Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der übrigen Unteransprüche.The level control in the transport system according to the invention can therefore preferably be carried out exclusively mechanically, which is associated not only with low manufacturing costs but also with low maintenance costs and is very reliable against faults. Further preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the remaining subclaims.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist eine erste Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Transportsystems dargestellt, das beispielsweise am Hang eines Berges oder Hügels angeordnet ist. Das Transportsystem weist eine Talstation 1 und eine Bergstation 2 auf, die über eine Fahrbahn 3 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Fahrbahn 3 weist zwei parallele Schienen 4 auf, die an einem Fahrbahnträger 5 montiert sind. Der Fahrbahnträger 5 ist über Fundamente 6 am Hang montiert.In the Fig. 1 and 2 A first embodiment of a transport system according to the invention is shown, which is arranged, for example, on the slope of a mountain or hill. The transport system has a valley station 1 and a mountain station 2, which are connected to one another via a roadway 3. The roadway 3 has two parallel rails 4 which are mounted on a roadway support 5. The carriageway support 5 is mounted on the slope via foundations 6.

Auf der Fahrbahn 3 bzw. deren Schienen 4 ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform ein einziges Fahrzeug 7 verfahrbar, das aus darstellerischen Gründen allerdings sowohl in der Talstation 1 als auch in der Bergstation 2 eingezeichnet ist. Das Fahrzeug 7 wird in der dargestellten Ausführungsform mittels eines Seiles 8 gezogen, das von einem in der Bergstation 2 angeordneten Motor 9 angetrieben auf einer Seilrolle 11 aufund abgewickelt wird. Der Antrieb kann sich aber auch am Fahrzeug selbst befinden. Insbesondere ist es auch möglich, ein Antriebssystem wie bei einer an sich bekannten Zahnradbahn zu verwenden.In the embodiment shown, a single vehicle 7 can be moved on the roadway 3 or its rails 4, but for representational reasons it is shown in both the valley station 1 and the mountain station 2. In the embodiment shown, the vehicle 7 is pulled by means of a rope 8, which is driven on and unwound on a rope pulley 11 by a motor 9 arranged in the mountain station 2. The drive can also be located on the vehicle itself. In particular, it is also possible to use a drive system like that of a known rack railway.

Die Fahrbahn 3 weist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform zwei Abschnitte 3a, 3b auf, wobei der untere Abschnitt 3a eine größere Steigung aufweist, als der obere Abschnitt 3b. Entlang der Schienen 4 verläuft auf wenigstens einer Seite der Fahrbahn 3 eine Führungsbahn 12. Der Abstand der Führungsbahn 12 von der bzw. den Schienen 4, genauer gesagt von der Lauffläche der Schienen 4, ist in den beiden Abschnitten 3a und 3b unterschiedlich groß, wobei in der dargestellten Ausführungsform die Führungsbahn 12 im Wesentlichen unterhalb einer der beiden Schienen 4 angeordnet ist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dient die Unterkante oder Unterseite der Schiene 4 als Führungsbahn 12. Die Führungsbahn 12 kann aber auch eine separate Schiene sein, die an geeigneter Stelle montiert ist.In the embodiment shown, the roadway 3 has two sections 3a, 3b, with the lower section 3a having a greater gradient than the upper section 3b. A guideway 12 runs along the rails 4 on at least one side of the roadway 3. The distance of the guideway 12 from the rail(s) 4, more precisely from the running surface of the rails 4, is different in the two sections 3a and 3b, whereby In the illustrated embodiment, the guide track 12 is arranged essentially below one of the two rails 4. In a preferred embodiment, the lower edge or underside of the rail 4 serves as a guide track 12. The guide track 12 can also be a separate rail that is mounted at a suitable location.

Die Anordnung zur Niveauregelung des Fahrzeugs 7 der Ausführungsform von Fig. 1 und 2 ist in Fig. 3 schematisch vereinfacht dargestellt.The arrangement for level control of the vehicle 7 of the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 is in Fig. 3 shown schematically in simplified form.

In Fig. 3 ist genauer zu sehen, dass im unteren Abschnitt 3a der Fahrbahn 3 der Abstand A der Führungsbahn bzw. Führungsschiene 12 von der Schiene 4 größer ist als im Abschnitt 3b. An der Führungsschiene 12 läuft eine Führungsrolle 13. Das Fahrzeug 7 weist ein Transportmittel 14, beispielsweise eine Kabine für den Personentransport und/oder ein Behältnis für einen Warentransport, sowie ein Fahrwerk 15 auf. Das Fahrwerk 15 läuft über Fahrwerksrollen 16 auf den Schienen 4.In Fig. 3 It can be seen more precisely that in the lower section 3a of the roadway 3 the distance A of the guideway or guide rail 12 from the rail 4 is larger than in section 3b. A guide roller 13 runs on the guide rail 12. The vehicle 7 has a means of transport 14, for example a cabin for transporting people and/or a container for transporting goods, and a chassis 15. The chassis 15 runs on the rails 4 via chassis rollers 16.

Die Führungsrolle 13 ist an einem Ende eines Hebels 17 gelagert, der in seinem Mittelbereich über ein Schwenklager 18 am Fahrwerk 15 gelagert ist. Mit seinem der Führungsrolle 13 gegenüberliegenden Ende ist der Hebel 17 am Rahmen 19 des Transportmittels 14 befestigt. Der Hebel 17, und somit auch die an diesem gelagerte Führungsrolle 13, ist des Weiteren über ein Verbindungselement 21 direkt mit dem Rahmen 19 des Transportmittels 14 verbunden.The guide roller 13 is mounted at one end of a lever 17, which is mounted on the chassis 15 in its central region via a pivot bearing 18. With its end opposite the guide roller 13, the lever 17 is attached to the frame 19 of the transport means 14. The lever 17, and thus also the guide roller 13 mounted on it, is further connected directly to the frame 19 of the transport means 14 via a connecting element 21.

Der Hebel 17 bildet in Verbindung mit dem Verbindungselement 21 und der Führungsrolle 13 eine Steuereinrichtung, mit welcher das Niveau, genauer gesagt die horizontale Ausrichtung, des Transportmittels 14 sichergestellt wird, während sich das Fahrzeug 7 entlang der Abschnitte 3a und 3b, welche unterschiedliche Steigungen aufweisen, bewegt. Dies ist in Fig. 3 zu sehen, in welcher das Fahrzeug 7 sowohl am unteren Abschnitt 3a als auch am oberen Abschnitt 3b dargestellt ist. Es ist zu sehen, dass sich das Transportmittel 14 immer in der gleichen horizontalen Ausrichtung befindet, indem es um das Schwenklager 18 gegenüber dem Fahrwerk 15 verschwenkt wird, weil sich der Abstand A zwischen der Führungsschiene 12 und der Schiene 4 verändert. Aus Stabilitätsgründen ist die Steuereinrichtung beidseitig neben dem Fahrzeug 7 angeordnet.The lever 17, in conjunction with the connecting element 21 and the guide roller 13, forms a control device with which the level, more precisely the horizontal orientation, of the transport means 14 is ensured while the vehicle 7 moves along the sections 3a and 3b, which have different gradients , emotional. This is in Fig. 3 can be seen in which the vehicle 7 is shown both on the lower section 3a and on the upper section 3b. It can be seen that the means of transport 14 is always in the same horizontal orientation by being pivoted about the pivot bearing 18 relative to the chassis 15 because the distance A between the guide rail 12 and the rail 4 changes. For reasons of stability, the control device is arranged on both sides next to the vehicle 7.

In den Fig. 4 bis 6 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Transportsystems dargestellt. In diesem Fall ist die Fahrbahn brückenförmig bzw. bogenförmig ausgeführt, wobei der Fahrbahnträger 5 beispielsweise als Fachwerk, massiver Stahlbetonträger, Hohlträger oder eine Kombination dieser oder anderer bekannter Bauarten sein kann.In the Fig. 4 to 6 An alternative embodiment of the transport system according to the invention is shown. In this case, the roadway is designed in the shape of a bridge or arch, and the roadway support 5 can be, for example, a truss, a solid reinforced concrete support, a hollow support or a combination of these or other known designs.

Die Fahrbahn 3 weist in diesem Fall drei Abschnitte 3a, 3b, und 3c auf, welche unterschiedliche Steigungen haben. Insbesondere weist der erste Abschnitt 3a eine beispielsweise konstante, positive Steigung mit einem Winkel von etwa +45°, der zweite bzw. mittlere Abschnitt 3b eine Steigung mit einem Winkel von 0° und der dritte Abschnitt 3c eine negative Steigung mit einem Winkel von -45° auf. Zwischen diesen drei Abschnitten 3a, 3b, 3c sind kontinuierliche, bogenförmige Übergänge bzw. Abschnitte 3d, 3e vorgesehen. Die Führungsschienen 4 definieren diesen Verlauf der Fahrbahn 3.In this case, the roadway 3 has three sections 3a, 3b, and 3c, which have different gradients. In particular, the first section 3a has, for example, a constant, positive slope with an angle of approximately +45°, the second or middle section 3b has a slope with an angle of 0° and the third section 3c has a negative slope with an angle of -45 ° on. Continuous, arcuate transitions or sections 3d, 3e are provided between these three sections 3a, 3b, 3c. The guide rails 4 define this course of the roadway 3.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind seitlich neben bzw. außerhalb der Schienen 4 Führungsbahnen bzw. Führungsschienen 22, 23 angeordnet, wobei die eine Führungsschiene 22 dem ersten Abschnitt 3a und die zweite Führungsschiene 23 dem dritten Abschnitt 3c zugeordnet ist. Im mittleren Abschnitt 3b überlappen sich die Führungsschienen 22, 23 hinsichtlich ihrer Längserstreckung.In the embodiment shown, 4 guide tracks or guide rails 22, 23 are arranged laterally next to or outside the rails, one guide rail 22 being assigned to the first section 3a and the second guide rail 23 to the third section 3c. In the middle section 3b, the guide rails 22, 23 overlap in terms of their longitudinal extent.

Die Führungsschienen 22, 23 können grundsätzlich auf derselben Seite der Fahrbahn 3 angeordnet sein, wobei sie dann, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, im mittleren Abschnitt 3b übereinander liegen. Alternativ können die Führungsschienen 22, 23 auch auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Fahrbahn 3 liegen, wobei sie dann im mittleren Abschnitt 3b, so wie in Fig. 5 schematisch dargestellt, auch auf gleicher Höhe liegen können.The guide rails 22, 23 can in principle be arranged on the same side of the roadway 3, in which case they are then, as in Fig. 4 shown, lie one above the other in the middle section 3b. Alternatively, the guide rails 22, 23 can also lie on opposite sides of the roadway 3, in which case they are in the middle section 3b, as in Fig. 5 shown schematically, can also be at the same height.

Das Fahrzeug 7 weist, wie bereits in der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 bis 3, ein Fahrwerk 15 auf, das über Fahrwerksrollen 16 auf den Schienen 4 rollt. In der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 bis 6 ist allerdings das Transportmittel 14 über ein Schwenklager 24 unmittelbar am Fahrwerk 15 schwenkbar gelagert. Das Transportmittel 14 weist zwei Führungsrollen 25, 26 auf, wobei eine Führungsrolle 25 der Führungsschiene 22 und die andere Führungsrolle 26 der Führungsschiene 23 zugeordnet ist.The vehicle 7 has, as in the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 3 , a chassis 15 which rolls on the rails 4 via chassis rollers 16. In the embodiment according to Fig. 4 to 6 However, the means of transport 14 is pivotally mounted directly on the chassis 15 via a pivot bearing 24. The transport means 14 has two guide rollers 25, 26, one guide roller 25 being assigned to the guide rail 22 and the other guide roller 26 to the guide rail 23.

Wenn sich das Fahrzeug 7 im Abschnitt 3a befindet, ist die Führungsrolle 25 in Eingriff mit der Führungsschiene 22, wobei der Abstand A zwischen der Führungsschiene 22 und der Schiene 4 aufgrund der großen Steigung des Abschnitts 3a ebenfalls groß ist. Wenn sich das Fahrzeug 7 dem mittleren Abschnitt 3b nähert, nimmt die Steigung der Fahrbahn 3 kontinuierlich ab, ebenso wie der Abstand A zwischen der Führungsschiene 22 und der Schiene 4. Im Mittelbereich 3b kreuzt die Führungsschiene 22 schließlich die Schiene 4. Damit kann das Niveau bzw. die horizontale Ausrichtung des Transportmittels 14 konstant gehalten werden.When the vehicle 7 is in section 3a, the guide roller 25 is in engagement with the guide rail 22, where the distance A between the guide rail 22 and the rail 4 is also large due to the large gradient of the section 3a. As the vehicle 7 approaches the middle section 3b, the gradient of the roadway 3 decreases continuously, as does the distance A between the guide rail 22 and the rail 4. In the middle area 3b, the guide rail 22 finally crosses the rail 4. This allows the level or the horizontal orientation of the means of transport 14 are kept constant.

Im mittleren Abschnitt 3b überlappen sich die Führungsschienen 22, 23 in einer Länge, die größer als der in Fahrtrichtung gemessene Abstand der Führungsrollen 25, 26 ist. Damit befindet sich die Führungsrolle 25 noch in Eingriff mit der Führungsschiene 22, wenn die Führungsrolle 26 in Eingriff mit der Führungsschiene 23 kommt. Erst danach verlässt die Führungsrolle 25 die Führungsschiene 22. Die Niveauregelung des Transportmittels wird in weiterer Folge von der Führungsschiene 23 und der Führungsrolle 26 übernommen, wobei der Abstand A zwischen der Führungsschiene 23 und der Schiene 4 in dem Ausmaß zunimmt, in dem die Steigung der Laufbahn 3 ins Negative zunimmt.In the middle section 3b, the guide rails 22, 23 overlap at a length that is greater than the distance between the guide rollers 25, 26 measured in the direction of travel. The guide roller 25 is therefore still in engagement with the guide rail 22 when the guide roller 26 comes into engagement with the guide rail 23. Only then does the guide roller 25 leave the guide rail 22. The level control of the means of transport is subsequently taken over by the guide rail 23 and the guide roller 26, the distance A between the guide rail 23 and the rail 4 increasing to the extent that the slope of the Career 3 increases negatively.

Die Ausführungsform von Fig. 6 entspricht im Wesentlichen jener der Fig. 4 und 5, jedoch ist anstelle der U-förmigen Führungsschienen der Fig. 4 und 5 eine flache Führungsschiene 27 vorgesehen, die in einem Führungsrollenpaar 28 aufgenommen ist.The embodiment of Fig. 6 essentially corresponds to that of Fig. 4 and 5 , however instead of the U-shaped guide rails is the Fig. 4 and 5 a flat guide rail 27 is provided, which is accommodated in a pair of guide rollers 28.

Anstelle von zwei getrennten Führungsschienen 22, 23 könnte auch nur eine einzige, durchgehende Führungsschiene verwendet werden, wobei dann im mittleren Bereich 3b abwechselnd eine der beiden Führungsrollen 25, 26 in Eingriff bzw. außer Eingriff mit der Führungsschiene gebracht werden müsste.Instead of two separate guide rails 22, 23, only a single, continuous guide rail could be used, in which case one of the two guide rollers 25, 26 would then have to be brought into or out of engagement with the guide rail alternately in the central region 3b.

Es versteht sich, dass die Niveauregelung der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 bis 6 auch bei einer Anordnung der Fahrbahn 3 gemäß der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 bis 3 eingesetzt werden könnte und umgekehrt. Außerdem können alle Steuereinrichtungen sowohl einseitig als auch beidseitig neben der oder den Schienen 4 angeordnet werden, falls dies aus Festigkeitsgründen oder Sicherheitsgründen vorteilhaft ist.It is understood that the level control according to the embodiment Fig. 4 to 6 even with an arrangement of the roadway 3 according to the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 3 could be used and vice versa. In addition, all control devices can be used both on one side and on both sides next to the rail(s) 4 be arranged if this is advantageous for reasons of strength or safety.
