Description

(Cross-reference of related applications)
This application claims the priority of Austrian patent application No. A712 / 2013 filed on September 16, 2013. The prior application is fully incorporated by reference.

  The present invention relates to a cableway system for the transportation of people. The cableway system includes at least one vehicle that can be coupled along a path to a haul cable or transported along at least one track cable or along a track by a tow cable coupled to the vehicle. Is possible. Along the path, it is coupled to a haul cable or tow cable, which is separated from the haul cable or tow cable at the station. It then travels within the station and moves while passing through at least one boarding point adjacent to the passenger entrance / exit area, or stops there, where passengers board and exit. Immediately thereafter, it is again coupled to the transport cable or tow cable and leaves the station.

  By means of a cableway system according to the present patent application, a vehicle, in particular a gondola, is coupled to a transport cable guided by a support tower and moved by said transport cable, or the vehicle can be transported along at least one track cable In addition to both systems for the transport of people moved by traction cables, furthermore, the vehicles can be transported along the track, in particular along the rails, and the vehicles are coupled to the traction cables that move them. To be understood as a system to obtain.

  This type of cableway system has an end station and optionally an intermediate station where the vehicle moves or stops at a very slow speed so that passengers can get on and off. These stations are generally constructed as buildings with waiting rooms, restaurants, snack bars, cash registers, hand-washing, etc. In addition, these buildings are configured with openings through which the vehicle moves along the movement path into the building or travels alongside the building. In the building area, the vehicle moves at a very low speed or is stopped so that passengers can get on and / or get off it. After this, the vehicle re-accelerates and leaves the building. A platform is placed beside the vehicle's travel path, where the passenger waits to get on the vehicle, or the passenger goes to his destination after getting off the vehicle.

  Because of this configuration of the platform, the area is dominated by almost the same climatic conditions as outside the station.

  Furthermore, as a result of the movement of the vehicle, i.e. as a result of their separation from the transport cable or tow cable, as a result of deceleration of the vehicle, as a result of driving to the vehicle, as a result of their movement along the guide rail, as a result of the transport cable or tow As a result of their coupling to the cable, significant noise generation, such as the result of acceleration of the vehicle to exit the station, is exposed to passengers on the platform.

  In contrast, vehicles on which passengers get on and off can be air-conditioned, in particular heated, and also soundproofed.

  Passengers on the platform are thus exposed to poor acoustic conditions and, depending on the general climatic conditions, probably to poor climatic conditions.

  The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of previously known devices and methods of this general type and to improve the avoidance of disadvantages for passengers of cableway systems getting on and off the vehicle gondola. It is to provide a cableway transport system to bring.

In view of the foregoing and other objectives, according to the present invention, a cableway system for transporting a person is provided, the cableway system comprising:
At least one vehicle coupled to the transport cable or tow cable to move a vehicle coupled to the transport cable or tow cable along a travel path between stations, and within the station along the travel path The vehicle being separated from the haulage cable or the traction cable and re-coupled to the haulage cable or the traction cable to leave the station
A station building where the passenger entrance area was formed,
With
The at least one vehicle moving in the station moves while passing through a boarding point adjacent to the entrance / exit area of the passenger, or stops for a while, where the passenger gets on and off the passenger,
The station building has a partition disposed between the moving route of the vehicle and the entrance / exit area of the passenger, and the partition is formed with at least one passage opening for the passenger at the boarding / exiting point. Has been.

  In other words, the object of the present invention is to provide a partition in which at least one passage for passengers is formed at a boarding / exiting point between at least one of the stations between the vehicle movement path and the passenger entrance / exit area, in particular, a wall is provided. Achieved by the fact that Preferably, the partition, in particular the wall, is configured with two through passages, the first of which is intended for passengers getting into the vehicle cabin and the second is intended for passengers getting out of the vehicle cabin.

  Furthermore, the at least one passage can be configured with a door or the like, which is controlled by the position of the vehicle cabin moving towards it.

  According to a further embodiment, the station building is adjacent to a tunnel-like housing, on which the movement path of at least one vehicle is arranged.

  Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.

  Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as being embodied in a cableway system for human transport, it nevertheless falls within the scope of the equivalent of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is not intended to be limited to the details shown as various modifications and structural changes may be made.

  However, the structure and method of operation of the present invention, together with its additional objects and advantages, are best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It is a perspective view of 1st Embodiment of the station of a cableway system according to this invention. It is a perspective view of 2nd Embodiment of the station of a cableway system according to this invention. It is a side view of 3rd Embodiment of the station of a cableway system according to this invention.

  Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1 in detail, a first embodiment of a station of a cableway system having a station building 1 is illustrated. The cableway system is composed of a carrying cable 2 that circulates continuously. A vehicle 3 is fixed to the transport cable along the route between the stations. The vehicle 3 in the illustrated example is a gondola with a guest room 30. At the station, the transport cable 2 is guided by a deflection pulley 21, also called a head wheel. At least one of the deflection pulleys 21 is driven. The transport cable 2 moves at a constant speed of, for example, 7 m / sec to 10 m / sec. The vehicle 3 travels in the direction of the arrow A.

  In another transportation system, the transportation cable of the vehicle 3 is a fixed cable (for example, a single wire or a double wire) that extends between the stations and supports the vehicle, or a railway system. In that case, the vehicle includes a roller head that rolls with a cable. The driving force is transmitted to the vehicle by a traction cable that couples the vehicle between the stations and pulls the vehicle on the way from one station to another.

  At the station, the vehicle 3 is separated from the transport cable 2 or the traction cable that continuously travels, and is then moved along the guide rail 4 in the station. After separation from the haul or tow cable 2, the speed of the vehicle 3 is reduced to approximately 0.3 m / sec by a series of deceleration tires 41. At this speed, the vehicle 3 is moved by the transport tire 42 in the boarding area where the passengers get on and off. Thereafter, the speed of the vehicle 3 is increased to the speed of the transport cable 2 by a series of acceleration tires 43, and immediately thereafter the vehicle 3 is reconnected to the transport or traction cable 2.

  In order to get into the vehicle cabin 30, the passenger is in the doorway area 11 arranged in the station building 1.

  The station building 1 is partitioned from the moving path of the vehicle 3 by a wall 12 arranged immediately next to the moving path of the gondola 30. The wall 12 is provided with an opening 13 through which the passenger goes from the entrance area 11 to the vehicle cabin 30 or the passenger goes from the vehicle cabin 30 to the exit area 11 and hence to the station building 1.

  The effect of the wall 12 is that passengers who are in the entrance / exit area 11 trying to get into the vehicle cabin 30 or have just left the vehicle cabin 30 on the one hand from the dominant climatic conditions outside the station building 1 on the other hand, It is extremely extensive protection from sound emission caused by operation.

  Since the distance between the wall 12 and the vehicle cabin 30 can reach just a few centimeters, passengers are almost completely protected from climatic and acoustic discomfort when getting in and out of the vehicle cabin 30.

  Unlike the first embodiment according to FIG. 1, the second embodiment of the station building 1 of the cableway system presented in FIG. 1A differs from the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 due to the fact that two passages 13 a and 13 b are provided in the wall 12. It is intended for passengers getting out of the vehicle cabin 30, and the passage 13b is intended for passengers getting into the vehicle cabin 30.

  Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 2, the station building 1 can be adjoined by a tunnel-like housing 10 that almost completely encloses the travel path of the vehicle cabin 30, thereby adding to the climatic or acoustic discomfort of the passengers. Partition is realized.

  The passages 13, 13a, 13b can be configured with doors. Preferably, these doors are controlled to open when the vehicle cabin 30 is close.

  The above-described configuration of the station building 1 having the wall 12 configured to include at least one passages 13, 13a, 13b at the boarding / exiting points is not limited to the design of the cableway system. As shown in the exemplary embodiment, it is provided in a cableway system in which a transport cable 2 is provided in which vehicles 3 are coupled along a route, and they are separated from the transport cable 2 and moved in the station at the station. Can do. But it also means that vehicles on the route are transported by at least one traction cable along at least one track cable or fixed cable track, and at the station they are separated from the traction cable to reduce within the passenger boarding point It can also be provided in cableway systems that move at speed.
