Description

The present invention relates to a cableway carrier, and more particularly to a cableway carrier equipped with a battery and electrical equipment for supplying electric power to an air conditioner or the like.

Cableway equipment is a transportation facility that suspends a carrier on a rope stretched in the air to carry personnel and supplies, and is often used as a means of transportation for personnel on mountain slopes and as a means of transportation for skiers and snowboarders at ski resorts. Has been done. In addition, cableway equipment has come to be operated as public transportation in urban areas, especially overseas, because it is not necessary to lay rails on the ground like railways and the land required for railroad tracks is small. There is.

In this way, when operating cableway equipment that operates closed-type carriers such as gondola lifts and ropeways in urban areas, it is desirable to be able to provide the same level of convenience and comfort as other urban transportation facilities, especially. It is desirable to equip each carrier with an air conditioner to improve passenger comfort. However, as is well known in the past, in cableway equipment, it is difficult to supply electric power to a carrier moving in a railroad track, and it is difficult to equip each carrier with an air conditioner that consumes a large amount of electric power.

For this reason, the following techniques have been proposed and implemented in the past. One example of this technology is to form a carrier group consisting of a plurality of carriers, and the plurality of carrier groups are provided to operate along with the circulation movement of the cord. One of the carriers in the carrier group will be a power carrier equipped with power supply equipment, and the other carrier will be a passenger carrier on which passengers will board. Each passenger carrier is equipped with air conditioning equipment, and power is supplied from the power carrier to each passenger carrier via a power supply cable to air-condition the passenger carrier (for example, Patent Documents). 1). As another example, a space for equipment separated from the space for passengers is formed above the passenger car, and a gas turbine engine and a generator and an air conditioner driven by the gas turbine engine and an air conditioner driven by the gas turbine engine are provided to air-condition the passenger space. This is done (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
