Description

Station d’un transporteur de véhicules aérien sur câble  Station of a carrier of aerial vehicles on cable
Domaine technique de l'invention Technical field of the invention
L’invention est relative à une station d’un transporteur aérien sur câble pour le transport collectif de personnes et ayant des véhicules automobiles roulant en ligne sur des câbles porteurs du transporteur, et plus particulièrement des stations d’embarquement/débarquement des passagers, utilisées notamment en milieu urbain. The invention relates to a station of an over-the-air cable carrier for the collective transport of persons and having motor vehicles rolling in line on carrying cables of the carrier, and more particularly the passenger loading / unloading stations, used especially in urban areas.
État de la technique State of the art
Les câbles porteurs sont essentiellement utilisés dans la technologie connue des téléphériques, où des véhicules, qui y sont suspendus, sont tirés par des câbles tracteurs, soit en va-et-vient, soit en noria. Carrier cables are mainly used in the known technology of cable cars, where vehicles, which are suspended, are pulled by tractive cables, either back and forth, nor in noria.
On peut citer la demande internationale WO2011/161333 qui divulgue une installation aérienne de transport de personnes, comprenant deux câbles porteurs et un véhicule roulant sur les câbles. There may be mentioned the international application WO2011 / 161333 which discloses an overhead passenger transport installation comprising two carrying cables and a vehicle running on the cables.
Les voies de circulation munies de câbles porteurs ont des avantages multiples, surtout en milieu urbain, car elles sont silencieuses et peu encombrantes. Cependant elles présentent un inconvénient majeur : elles ne peuvent être que rectilignes c’est-à-dire qu’elles ne permettent pas aux véhicules de changer de direction en ligne. Traffic lanes with carrying cables have multiple advantages, especially in urban areas, because they are quiet and space-saving. However, they have a major disadvantage: they can only be straight, that is to say that they do not allow vehicles to change direction in line.
Les changements de direction ne sont donc possibles qu’à partir d’ouvrage d’angle. En général, il s’agit d’une station d’angle avec embarquement/ débarquement des passagers. Dans les installations de transport, notamment en transport urbain, le débit et la durée du parcours (ainsi que le confort de l’usager) comptent énormément et il est donc nécessaire que les arrêts en station soient les plus courts possibles. Changes of direction are therefore possible only from corner work. In general, it is a corner station with embarkation / disembarkation of passengers. In transport installations, especially in urban transport, the flow and the duration of the journey (as well as the comfort of the user) count enormously and it is therefore necessary that the station stops be as short as possible.
Objet de l'invention Object of the invention
L’objet de l’invention consiste à pallier ces inconvénients, et plus particulièrement à fournir des moyens permettant d’accélérer le débit de véhicules roulant sur des câbles porteurs d’un transporteur aérien, tout en permettant un embarquement/débarquement des passagers, et plus particulièrement des personnes à mobilité réduite, en toute sécurité avec un maximum de confort. The object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks, and more particularly to provide means for accelerating the flow of vehicles on carrying cables of an air carrier, while allowing a loading / unloading of passengers, and especially people with reduced mobility, safely with maximum comfort.
Selon un aspect de l’invention, il est proposé une station d’un transporteur aérien sur câble comportant des véhicules automobiles aptes à rouler sur des câbles porteurs du transporteur. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a station of a cable air carrier comprising motor vehicles capable of rolling on carrier cables of the carrier.
La station comporte un plateau tournant pour assurer un changement de direction des véhicules, le plateau tournant portant des rails configurés pour supporter un véhicule arrêté devant un quai solidaire du plateau tournant. The station comprises a turntable to ensure a change of direction of the vehicles, the turntable carrying rails configured to support a stopped vehicle in front of a platform integral with the turntable.
Une telle station permet d’assurer simultanément un changement de direction du véhicule et l’embarquement / débarquement des passagers, y compris pour des personnes à mobilité réduite, en sécurité et confort. La station permet ainsi d’augmenter le débit des véhicules. Such a station makes it possible to simultaneously change the direction of the vehicle and the loading / unloading of passengers, including for persons with reduced mobility, in safety and comfort. The station thus makes it possible to increase the flow of the vehicles.
Pour ce faire, les dispositions générales adaptées procèdent d’un quai situé en regard du véhicule, tournant lentement, ou étant à l’arrêt, en face d’une coursive de la station. To do this, the adapted general provisions proceed from a dock located opposite the vehicle, slowly turning, or being stopped, in front of a corridor of the station.
Quai et coursive sont très avantageusement au même niveau que le plancher d’une cabine d’un véhicule, les lacunes séparant le quai et le plancher et le quai et la coursive sont minimums. Une lacune minimum est une distance séparant le quai et le plancher ou le quai et la coursive, permettant une circulation des passagers entre le quai et le plancher et entre le quai et la coursive. Dock and runway are very advantageously at the same level as the floor of a cabin of a vehicle, the gaps separating the quay and the floor and the dock and the passageway are minimum. A minimum gap is a distance separating the dock and the floor or the dock and the passageway, allowing a movement of passengers between the dock and the floor and between the dock and the corridor.
Lorsque le plateau est animé en rotation, le quai et le véhicule tournent ensemble par rapport à la coursive fixe, très lentement, ce qui permet un embarquement / débarquement des passagers entre le véhicule et la coursive. En outre, lors de la rotation du plateau, il n’y a aucun mouvement relatif entre le véhicule et le quai, ce qui facilite rembarquement/débarquement des passagers à mobilité réduite. When the platform is animated in rotation, the platform and the vehicle rotate together relative to the fixed track, very slowly, which allows a loading / unloading of passengers between the vehicle and the corridor. In addition, during the rotation of the plate, there is no relative movement between the vehicle and the dock, which facilitates re-entry / disembarkation of passengers with reduced mobility.
Selon un autre aspect de l’invention, il est proposé un procédé de changement de direction d’un véhicule automobile roulant sur des câbles porteurs d’un transporteur aérien. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of changing the direction of a motor vehicle rolling on carrier cables of an air carrier.
Le procédé comporte une rotation d’un plateau tournant portant des rails et un quai, la rotation étant effectuée lorsque le véhicule est arrêté sur les rails devant le quai. The method includes rotating a turntable carrying rails and a platform, the rotation being performed when the vehicle is stopped on the rails in front of the platform.

Description détaillée detailed description
Sur les figures 1 à 8 ; 9 et 10, on a représenté une station 5 d’une installation aérienne comportant des véhicules 1. Les véhicules 1 sont automobiles et équipés de roulements 25 configurés pour rouler sur des câbles porteurs 3 de l’installation. La station 5 comporte un plateau tournant 6, supportant des rails de roulement 7 destinés à recevoir un véhicule 1 , et un quai 8 solidaire du plateau tournant 6. La station 5 comporte une coursive 10 et le plateau 6 est mobile en rotation par rapport à la coursive 10. La station 5 comporte en outre un moteur 26 configuré pour animer en rotation le plateau 6, comme illustré aux figures 5 et 10. In Figures 1-8; 9 and 10, there is shown a station 5 of an aircraft installation comprising vehicles 1. The vehicles 1 are automotive and equipped with bearings 25 configured to run on the support cables 3 of the installation. The station 5 comprises a turntable 6, supporting running rails 7 intended to receive a vehicle 1, and a platform 8 secured to the turntable 6. The station 5 comprises a channel 10 and the plate 6 is rotatable relative to 10. The station 5 further comprises a motor 26 configured to rotate the plate 6, as shown in Figures 5 and 10.
Le quai 8 solidaire du plateau tournant 6 est donc mobile, mais le quai 8 n’a pas un mouvement relatif avec un véhicule 1 arrêté, étant le long du véhicule 1 , en face des portes 12 du véhicule 1 lorsqu’elles sont ouvertes. The platform 8 secured to the turntable 6 is movable, but the platform 8 does not have a relative movement with a vehicle 1 stopped, being along the vehicle 1, opposite the doors 12 of the vehicle 1 when they are open.
Ce quai 8 se présente comme rectiligne du côté intérieur en regard d’un axe vertical de rotation Z du plateau tournant 6, et comporte un bord extérieur en arc de cercle du côté extérieur, l’arc de cercle ayant comme centre l’axe vertical de rotation Z du plateau tournant 6. This dock 8 is rectilinear on the inner side facing a vertical axis of rotation Z of the turntable 6, and has an outer edge in an arc a circle on the outer side, the arc having the center of the vertical axis of rotation Z of the turntable 6.
La coursive 10, est fixe, et épouse l’arc de cercle décrit par le quai 8 lorsque le véhicule 1 est en station 5 pendant l’embarquement/débarquement des passagers 2. La coursive 10 n’a pas de vitesse relative avec le quai 8 quand le quai 8 est revenu à une position d’attente du véhicule suivant, illustrée à la figure 3. The passageway 10 is fixed and follows the arc described by the platform 8 when the vehicle 1 is in station 5 during the embarkation / disembarkation of the passengers 2. The passageway 10 has no relative speed with the platform 8 when the platform 8 has returned to a waiting position of the next vehicle, illustrated in Figure 3.
On peut alors décrire comment se passe l’embarquement/débarquement des passagers 2, en sécurité, confort et efficacité. We can then describe how the embarkation / disembarkation of passengers 2, in safety, comfort and efficiency.
Le prochain véhicule devant arriver est en ligne 20, les rails 7 et le quai 8 solidaire, sont en place, dans la position d’attente, immobiles et prêts à accueillir ledit véhicule The next vehicle to arrive is in line 20, the rails 7 and dock 8 secured, are in place, in the waiting position, immobile and ready to receive said vehicle
Des portes palières 9 montées sur le quai 8 sont fermées les passagers 2 désirant embarquer peuvent accéder au quai 8, depuis la coursive 10, sans vitesse différentielle, entre eux, convenant notamment aux personnes à mobilité réduite. Landing doors 9 mounted on the platform 8 are closed passengers 2 wishing to board can access the platform 8 from the passageway 10, without differential speed, between them, particularly suitable for people with reduced mobility.
Le véhicule 1 rentre en station 5, passe des câbles porteurs 3 aux rails 7 et s’arrête à son emplacement prévu, les portes 12 de la cabine du véhicule 1 et les portes palières 9 face à face, s’ouvrent en même temps. The vehicle 1 returns to the station 5, passes the carrying cables 3 to the rails 7 and stops at its intended location, the doors 12 of the vehicle cab 1 and the landing doors 9 facing each other, open at the same time.
Le débarquement/embarquement commence alors, en même temps que la rotation du véhicule 1 et du quai 8, comme illustré sur la figure 4. Les passagers 2 en cabine peuvent débarquer sur le quai 8, mobile par rapport à la coursive 10, pour accéder à la coursive 10 vers la sortie, par des escaliers ou ascenseurs. The unloading / embarkation then begins, at the same time as the rotation of the vehicle 1 and the platform 8, as illustrated in FIG. 4. The passengers 2 in the cabin can disembark on the platform 8, mobile with respect to the passageway 10, to reach to the corridor 10 to the exit, by stairs or lifts.
Le quai 8 défile devant la coursive 10 avec une différence de vitesse circonférentielle très faible. On a représenté sur la figure 6, le plateau tournant 6 en mouvement dont la vitesse de rotation très lente permet aux passagers 2 de la cabine de continuer de débarquer et ceux en attente d’embarquer jusqu’à l’arrêt du plateau tournant 6 en position de départ dans laquelle le véhicule 1 étant prêt à partir sur la ligne suivante 21. The platform 8 passes in front of the passageway 10 with a very small difference in circumferential speed. FIG. 6 shows the turntable 6 in motion whose very slow rotation speed allows passengers 2 of the cabin to continue disembarking and those waiting to board until the turntable 6 stops in the starting position in which the vehicle 1 is ready to go on the next line 21.
Après rotation du plateau 6, le plateau 6 occupe la position de départ, illustrée à la figure 7, dans laquelle les portes de la cabine 12 et palières 9 se ferment simultanément et rembarquement est terminé (si celui-ci ne l’est pas le véhicule 1 reste en attente). Dans la position de départ, le véhicule 1 est dans l’axe de la ligne suivante 21 , prêt à partir, portes palières 9 fermées. After rotation of the plate 6, the plate 6 occupies the starting position, illustrated in FIG. 7, in which the doors of the cabin 12 and landing areas 9 close simultaneously and re-embarkation is completed (if this is not the case vehicle 1 remains waiting). In the starting position, the vehicle 1 is in the axis of the next line 21, ready to leave, doors 9 doors closed.
Le quai 8 arrêté, les derniers passagers débarqués, et notamment les personnes à mobilité réduite accèdent à la coursive 10. Wharf 8 stopped, the last passengers disembarked, and in particular people with reduced mobility access the corridor 10.
Le véhicule 1 , portes (cabine 12 et palières 9) fermées, peut démarrer, et passer des rails 7 du plateau tournant 6 aux câbles porteurs 3 de la ligne suivante 21. The vehicle 1, doors (cabin 12 and landing 9) closed, can start, and pass from the rails 7 of the turntable 6 to the carrying cables 3 of the following line 21.
Une fois le véhicule 1 sur les câbles porteurs 3, le plateau tournant 6 : rails 7 et quai 8, retourne à vitesse circonférentielle lente en position d’attente pour l’arrivée du prochain véhicule. Des barrières 11 peuvent être placées sur un pourtour de la coursive 10 conduisent à ce que durant toute la manœuvre de rotation du plateau 6, la coursive 10 donne toujours accès au quai 8, en mouvement ou immobile. Once the vehicle 1 on the support cables 3, the turntable 6: rails 7 and platform 8, returns to slow circumferential speed in the waiting position for the arrival of the next vehicle. Barriers 11 may be placed on a perimeter of the passageway 10 lead to the fact that throughout the rotation maneuver of the plate 6, the passageway 10 always accesses the platform 8, moving or stationary.
De manière générale, une première ligne 20 de l’installation, dite ligne d’entrée 20, s’étend le long d’un axe d’entrée X et une deuxième ligne 21 de l’installation, dite ligne de sortie, s’étend le long d’un axe de sortie Y incliné selon un angle de déviation W par rapport à l’axe d’entrée X. In general, a first line 20 of the installation, called the input line 20, extends along an input axis X and a second line 21 of the installation, called the output line, extends along an inclined Y-output axis at a deflection angle W with respect to the input axis X.
Comme illustré sur les figures 1 , 2, et 9, la station 5 est située à l’intersection des deux lignes 20, 21. Ces dispositions peuvent s’appliquer : As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 9, station 5 is located at the intersection of the two lines 20, 21. These provisions may apply:
indifféremment que l’angle de déviation W soit rentrant ou saillant (jusqu’à une certaine valeur minimum) qui nécessite une adaptation particulière ;  regardless of whether the deflection angle W is retracting or projecting (up to a certain minimum value) which requires a particular adaptation;
principalement pour des embarquements/débarquements depuis des cabines ayant des portes latérales 12 d’un seul côté.  mainly for boarding / landing from cabins having side doors 12 on one side only.
Comme illustré sur la figure 3, l’embarquement/débarquement s’effectue du côté opposé de l’angle de déviation W saillant. Comme illustré sur la figure 8, l’embarquement/débarquement s’effectue du côté du secteur défini par l’angle de déviation W saillant. As shown in FIG. 3, the embarkation / disembarkation takes place on the opposite side of the deflection angle W salient. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the loading / unloading takes place on the side of the sector defined by the deflection angle W salient.
L’axe vertical de rotation Z du plateau tournant 6 est avantageusement placé au croisement des axes d’entrée X et de sortie Y des lignes 20, 21 de câbles porteurs 3. The vertical axis of rotation Z of the turntable 6 is advantageously placed at the intersection of the input X and output Y axes of the lines 20, 21 of carrying cables 3.
Cette disposition n’est pas obligatoire mais elle est la plus fonctionnelle, la plus compacte, la plus économique, et aussi celle qui est la plus courte en temps de passage du véhicule 1. La configuration de la station 5, notamment en transport urbain peut nécessiter une autre position de l’axe de rotation Z sur lequel restent centrés le bord extérieur du quai 8, et un bord extérieur de la coursive 10. This provision is not mandatory but it is the most functional, the most compact, the most economical, and also the one that is the shortest in time of passage of the vehicle 1. The configuration of the station 5, including urban transport can require another position of the axis of rotation Z on which remain centered the outer edge of the platform 8, and an outer edge of the passageway 10.
Sur les figures 5 et 10, on a représenté l’iso-nivelage entre la coursive 10, le quai 8 et un plancher 22 du véhicule 1. Figures 5 and 10 show the iso-leveling between the passageway 10, the platform 8 and a floor 22 of the vehicle 1.
Sur la figure 1 le véhicule de transport 1 de passagers 2 roule sur des câbles porteurs 3 supportés en ligne 20, 21 par des pylônes 4. Le véhicule 1 s’arrête dans la station 5, dite station intermédiaire d’angle, pour un embarquement et/ou débarquement des passagers 2. Les rails 7 peuvent être placés directement sur le plateau 6 (fig.5) ou sur une structure haute 23 (fig.10) selon que la cabine du véhicule 1 se présente respectivement dans les positions « posée » ou « pendue ». Les rails 7 sont préférentiellement horizontaux. Plus particulièrement, les rails 7 sont situés au même niveau que les extrémités des câbles porteurs 3 des lignes d’arrivée 20 et de départ 21. Les rails 7 sont en outre positionnés dans le prolongement des câbles porteurs 3 de la ligne d’arrivée 20, lorsque le plateau 6 est dans sa position d’attente, et positionnés dans le prolongement des câbles porteurs 3 de la ligne de départ 21 , lorsque le plateau 6 est dans sa position de départ. Selon un mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 5, les rails 7 sont situés au-dessous du niveau du plancher 22. Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 10, les rails 7 sont situés au-dessus des portes 12 du véhicule 1. Dans ce cas, la cabine du véhicule 1 est en position basse par rapport aux câbles porteurs 3. Ainsi, la station 5 est adaptée pour des hauteurs différentes des extrémités des câbles porteurs 3 des lignes 20, 21. L’accès au quai 8 mobile se fait par la coursive circulaire fixe 10. Les barrières 11 sécurisent la circulation sur la coursive fixe 10 quelle que soit la position du quai mobile 8. Des portes palières 9 ferment l’accès au véhicule 1 en son absence. In FIG. 1 the passenger transport vehicle 1 rolls on carrying cables 3 supported in line 20, 21 by towers 4. The vehicle 1 stops in the station 5, said intermediate corner station, for a boarding and / or landing of the passengers 2. The rails 7 can be placed directly on the plate 6 (FIG. 5) or on an upper structure 23 (FIG. 10) depending on whether the cab of the vehicle 1 is in the "posed" positions respectively. »Or« hanged ". The rails 7 are preferably horizontal. More particularly, the rails 7 are situated at the same level as the ends of the carrying cables 3 of the arrival and departure lines 20. The rails 7 are furthermore positioned in the extension of the carrying cables 3 of the finish line 20 when the plate 6 is in its waiting position, and positioned in the extension of the carrying cables 3 of the starting line 21, when the plate 6 is in its starting position. According to an embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the rails 7 are situated below the level of the floor 22. According to another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 10, the rails 7 are situated above the doors 12 of the vehicle. 1. In this case, the cabin of the vehicle 1 is in the lower position relative to the support cables 3. Thus, the station 5 is adapted for different heights of the ends of the carrying cables 3 of the lines 20, 21. Access to the platform The barriers 11 secure the circulation on the fixed gangway 10 regardless of the position of the mobile dock 8. The landing doors 9 close the access to the vehicle 1 in its absence.
La station 5 peut être entièrement automatisée et fonctionne de la manière suivante : le véhicule 1 arrive en station 5 en passant des câbles porteurs 3 de la ligne d’arrivée 20 aux rails 7 solidaires du plateau tournant 6. Dès l’arrêt du véhicule 1 les portes palières 9 s’ouvrent simultanément aux portes 12 du véhicule 1. Les passagers 2 du véhicule 1 peuvent commencer à débarquer sur le quai 8 et en particulier les personnes à mobilité réduite. Puis, le plateau tournant 6 se met en mouvement lent, le débarquement se poursuit et simultanément l’embarquement peut s’initier et continuer jusqu’à l’arrêt du plateau tournant 6 dans la position de départ vers la ligne suivante de sortie 21. A l’issue du temps programmé de l’arrêt du véhicule 1 en station 5 les portes palières 9 et les portes 12 du véhicule 1 se ferment simultanément avant le départ. Après que le véhicule 1 passe des rails 7 aux câbles porteur 3 de la ligne de sortie 21 , le plateau tournant 6 se met en mouvement inverse pour reprendre la position d’attente du véhicule suivant venant de la ligne d’arrivée 20. Grâce à l’invention qui vient d’être décrite, les passagers peuvent passer du véhicule au quai alors que le véhicule et le quai sont immobiles l’un par rapport à l’autre, puis des passagers peuvent attendre sur le quai pendant la rotation du plateau et lorsque le plateau est immobile dans sa position d’attente, ces passagers peuvent passer du quai à la coursive alors que le quai et la coursive sont immobiles l’un par rapport à l’autre. Ainsi, l’invention facilite grandement l’embarquement/débarquement des personnes à mobilité réduite qui peuvent passer du véhicule à la coursive, via le quai, sans mouvement relatif entre le véhicule et le quai et entre le quai et la coursive. The station 5 can be fully automated and operates as follows: the vehicle 1 arrives at station 5 by passing carrying cables 3 of the finish line 20 to the rails 7 integral with the turntable 6. Upon stopping the vehicle 1 the landing doors 9 open simultaneously to the doors 12 of the vehicle 1. The passengers 2 of the vehicle 1 can begin to disembark on the platform 8 and in particular the persons with reduced mobility. Then, the turntable 6 starts in slow motion, the landing continues and simultaneously embarkation can be initiated and continue until the turntable 6 stops in the starting position to the next exit line 21. At the end of the programmed time of the stopping of the vehicle 1 in the station 5, the landing doors 9 and the doors 12 of the vehicle 1 close simultaneously before departure. After the vehicle 1 passes rails 7 to the carrier cables 3 of the output line 21, the turntable 6 moves in reverse to resume the waiting position of the next vehicle from the finish line 20. Thanks to the invention that has just been described, passengers can move from the vehicle to the platform while the vehicle and the platform are motionless relative to each other, and passengers can wait on the platform during the rotation. of the plateau and when the plateau is stationary in its waiting position, these passengers can move from the dock to the corridor while the dock and the passageway are stationary relative to each other. Thus, the invention greatly facilitates the loading / unloading of persons with reduced mobility who can pass from the vehicle to the corridor, via the platform, without relative movement between the vehicle and the platform and between the dock and the corridor.
