Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the field of cableways, particularly in the case of an automatic circulation type cableway, which uses a passenger carriage in the summer and switches to a chair transporter in the winter to operate automatically throughout the year. The present invention relates to a switching operation method of a cableway.

[Related Art] The automatic circulation type cableway is a terminal at both ends (refers to a stop).
The same applies to the following), the rope is stretched and circulated between the pulleys arranged on the pulley, and the towing machine with the suspended carriage is gripped by the rope,
It is transported by operating a transporter along with the circulating movement of the cable, and it is widely known that the cable is frequently used for transporting skiers in mountainous areas, sightseeing, mountain climbing, and the like.

Carriers for transporting passengers used for such an automatic circulation type cableway are roughly classified into two types: passenger carriages and chair carriers.

Of these, passenger carriages are those in which passengers ride in almost closed cars, so they can ride without being affected by wind and rain even in bad weather, and are suitable for general passenger cableway such as sightseeing and mountain climbing . Also, it is suitable for use as a cableway for transporting skiers during the winter season, because it is protected from severe cold conditions in places where the altitude is high and the length of the cableway is long and the riding time is long, etc. it can. But,
It is troublesome to ride while wearing skis.

On the other hand, when a chair carrier is used, passengers can get on and off efficiently in a substantially straight-ahead manner while wearing skis. However, in recent years, those equipped with a capsule for weather protection have come to be used, but generally, riding may not be comfortable due to the influence of weather conditions. In addition, there is a need for a little agility when getting on and off, and there is a sense of anxiety in heights at places where the distance from the cableway to the ground is slightly large. Although it is particularly suitable as a lift, it is not necessarily suitable for sightseeing for general passengers including young or elderly people.

Taking into account the characteristics of these two types of transport equipment, the conditions of the automatic recirculating cableway that have been constructed so far, such as the location conditions, the type of target passengers, and whether they are seasonal or year-round, etc. In consideration of this, one type of transporter is selected and used for each cableway.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the types of the respective transporters are selected as necessary. On the other hand, in a cableway located in a snowy area and a sightseeing spot, it is suitable for transporting skiers in winter. There has been a desire to operate a chair transporter, switch to a passenger transporter for sightseeing except during the winter season, and operate all year round using a transporter suitable for each passenger purpose.

On the other hand, whether using a carriage or a carriage, the basic concept and operation of the automatic circulating cableway are the same, so both types of carriages are basically necessary. It can be said that it can be used by substituting according to the above, but in practical application. There are some difficult problems that need to be solved.

FIG. 10 (a) shows a conventional example of an automatic circulation type cableway using a passenger carriage. A pulley 102 is pivotally installed in the terminal 101, and a rope 103 is wound around the pulley 102 and stretched in the direction of the cable tracks 104a and 104b. In the terminal 101, a rail 105 is suspended from around point a to around point e via points b, c and d. A deceleration transfer device 130 is provided between the rail 105 near point a and the point b, and an acceleration transfer device 140 is provided between the rail d near the point d and the point e near the rail 105. A forward transfer device 150 is provided in a section of the rail 105 that is mainly curved between points b and d. Deceleration transfer device 1
30, the acceleration transfer device 140 generally employs a plurality of pneumatic tires arranged side by side and decelerated or accelerated by friction by the pneumatic tires. Similarly, as the reciprocating transfer device 150, a device that frictionally transfers a plurality of pneumatic tires in parallel or a device that circulates a chain along the rail 105 and transfers the chain by an attachment attached to the chain is used. Each of these transfer devices is linked by an interlocking device by mechanical connection or electrical connection so as to operate at a speed proportional to the speed of the cable 103. Along the curved rail 105, an exit platform or exit zone 107a is defined near point b to point c, and an exit platform or exit zone 107b is defined near point c to point d.

In this configuration, the arrow 106a
Passenger carriage 112 that has entered terminal 101 in the direction, its towing machine 114a performs unloading near point a and transfers it to rail 105,
The vehicle is decelerated by the deceleration transfer device 130 before reaching point b. Next, the passenger carriage 112 is transported at a slow or slow speed by the transporting and transporting device 150 during the period from the point b to the point d. During this time, the passenger is disembarked in the disembarkation zone 107a.
Ride from 107b is performed. Next, between point d and point e, the passenger carriage 112 is accelerated by the acceleration transfer device 140, and then travels in such a manner that the rope 103 is squeezed by the towing machine 114a and departs in the direction of arrow 106b.

On the other hand, FIG. 10 (a) shows a conventional example of an automatic circulation type cableway using a chair carrier 113. Of the devices, machines, etc. in the terminal 101 ', which have basically the same functions as those shown in FIG. 10 (a), the same numbers with (') are added. Here, between the rear of the terminal 101 'and the vicinity of the point d', a passenger entering route 108 is defined substantially in a straight line as shown by a dotted line. The passenger enters the boarding path 108 in the direction of the arrow 108a, sits down on the chair carrier 113 that has progressed from the rear of the passenger, gets on the board, and departs in the direction of the arrow 106b '. Although not shown, a similar straight-ahead exit route is formed for the terminal on the exit side.

In such an arrangement of the terminals 101 or 101 'corresponding to the respective types of transporters, the speed reduction transport device 13
A transfer speed at point a or point a 'of 0 or 130';
In addition, the transfer speed at the point e or the point e 'of the acceleration transfer device 140 or 140' needs to be the same as that of the cable 103 or 103 '. However, as described above, since the operation is conventionally performed while maintaining the proportional speed by using the interlocking device, there is no problem in this regard, even if different types of transporters are operated by the same facility.

However, in the section of the transporting device 150 or 150 ', it is necessary to set a moving speed or a getting on / off style suitable for each transporter used.

That is, when using the passenger carriage 112, the passengers
Since the vehicle is to be disembarked in the side disembarkation zone 107a on the side of 12, or to be disembarked from the side disembarkation zone 107b, it is better to set the transfer speed in the section of the forwarding device 150 small,
Getting on and off is less difficult and safe. On the other hand, in the case of equipment for skier transportation using the chair carrier 113, the floor surface of the terminal 101 'is formed flat with a snow-covered surface,
Since the passenger wearing the skis slides on the entry route 108 almost in a straight line and enters the boarding area, the transporting device 150 ′
If the transfer speed of the transporter in the section is set to be slightly larger, the vehicle can get on and off efficiently.

As described above, the type and preferred speed of getting on and off the vehicle differ depending on the type of carrier, and therefore, if the vehicle is simply replaced with a cableway facility having a terminal structure suitable for one type of carrier, the passenger can get on and off. Time is too fast, too slow to be safe or inappropriate.

Therefore, in order to switch and operate different types of carriages in the same cableway equipment, it is necessary to make the equipment capable of suitably switching conversion to any of the carriages. Almost no research has been done,
No answer was given.

In order to improve such circumstances, the present invention is directed to a different type of automatic circulating cableway which is suitable for each type of carrier and enables safe getting on and off when switching to a different type of vehicle for operation. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a carrier switching operation method.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In response to the above-mentioned object, the present invention uses a chair carrier in winter and performs a cableway operation using a passenger car carrier in summer, and operates under suitable conditions for getting on and off the respective carriers. This was done to propose an operation method that was made possible.

That is, the present invention uses a rope that circulates between the terminals at both ends, and a plurality of ropes that are to be gripped and released, each of which has a carriage suspended therefrom. The ropes are squeezed and the carriage is operated with the movement of the ropes,
At the terminal, the cable pulling device is released from the rope, and the transporter is returned and transported using the transporter in the transport section,
In the automatic circulation type cableway which successively operates the carriages, the carriages are used interchangeably with a plurality of passenger carriages and a plurality of chair carriages which fit within the same vehicle limit,
In the forwarding section, a stop device that can be switched between a stop mode for temporarily stopping the transfer of the transporter and a passing mode for continuously transferring the transporter is disposed and used, and the carriages or the chairs are used for the towing machine. Replace with any of the transporters and suspend and carry out the transporter operation.When operating the passenger car transporter, switch the stop device to the stop mode, temporarily stop transporting the transporter, treat as a passenger, and operate the chair transporter. In such a case, the stop device is switched to the passing mode, and the different types of vehicles are switched and operated in the automatic circulating cableway in which the traveling vehicles are treated as passengers.

[Operation] In the terminal of the automatic circulation type cableway, a deceleration transfer device that is mechanically or electrically operated in conjunction with a pulley through a pulley,
There is an accelerated transfer device and a transfer device in the transfer section. The transporting section is provided with a stop device that can be switched between a stop mode for temporarily stopping transport of the transporter and a continuous mode for continuously transporting the transporter. Cargo arriving at the terminal is decelerated by the deceleration transfer device after releasing the rope,
In the transport section, the transport is performed by the transport device and the vehicle is temporarily stopped or passed according to any of the above-described operation modes, and is treated as a passenger. depart.

As a transporter used in the present and operation methods, a passenger transporter and a chair transporter that meet the same vehicle limit are used interchangeably.

When traveling for sightseeing climbing in summer or the like, a passenger carriage is used as a transporter, and the operation is performed by switching the operation mode of the stop device to the stop mode. The passenger carriage is temporarily stopped at the position of the stop device, during which passengers are handled in the getting on / off zone.

When operating for transporting skiers in winter, all of the above-mentioned transporters are replaced with chair transporters. In addition, the operation is performed by switching the operation mode of the stopping device to the passing mode. The chair carrier is transported as it is without stopping at the position of the parking device. Passengers enter from the boarding path while wearing skis, and board the chair carrier being transported.

Second Embodiment This embodiment is basically equivalent to the first embodiment,
In addition to the above, this is an application example in which details of the control method, operating conditions and the like of the stopping device are clarified.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of the arrangement of equipment used in the operation method according to the present embodiment, and those having functions equivalent to those in FIGS. I have. That is, the speed reduction transfer device 30 ', which is disposed along the rail 5' in the terminal 1 'and is indicated by a two-dot chain line,
50a ', 50b', the stopping device 60 ', the acceleration transfer device 40', etc. all have the same configuration and function as those described above.

Next, the cable 3 'is provided with a cable movement detector SR for generating a pulse signal for every constant movement of the cable 3', and the controller CONT as shown by a dotted line. Has been sent to. There is a carry-in progress detector LS near point D ', and there is a passenger handling completion switch PB near points C' to D ',
Each signal is sent to the controller CONT. Also controller
The CONT controls the clutch means 66 'of the stopping device 60' on and off based on these signals, as shown by a solid line.

FIGS. 7 (a), (b) and (c) are flow charts for explaining an operation method performed by using the apparatus having the above configuration.

First, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), either the operation using the chair carrier, the operation using the passenger car carrier, or the passing mode or the stop mode is performed by the mode change switch MS provided in the controller CONT. select.

FIG. 7 (a) is a flowchart when the operation of the chair carrier is performed, that is, when the passing mode is selected.
Controls the clutch means 66 'to be in the connected state and to continue this. Therefore, the stopping device 60 'always rotates and continues the transfer. In this case, the functions of the rope movement amount detector SR, the carry-in progress detector LS, the passenger handling completion switch PB, and the like are disabled without being involved in this operation.

Fig. 8 (a) shows a chair carrier 1 in this passing mode.
It is an operation diagram showing the movement of 3,13 .... The vertical axis indicates the position or distance in the terminal 1 'from the top to the bottom of the figure, and the horizontal axis indicates time t from the left to the right. The chair carrier 13 is gradually decelerated between points A 'and B', and is transported slowly and at a constant speed between points B 'and F'. The passenger enters the vehicle substantially along a dotted line 18 indicating the entrance of the passenger, and gets on the chair carrier 13 near the point E '. Between point F 'and point G', the chair carrier 13 starts accelerated. The figure shows two chair carriers 1
Although only the pattern in which the trains 3, 13 travel is shown, the chair carriers 13, 13,.

Next, FIG. 7 (c) is a flow chart when the passenger car carrier 12 is operated, that is, when the stop mode of FIG. 7 (a) is selected. Here, first, the clutch means 66 is disconnected by the control of the controller CONT, and
0 'is stopped. The passenger carriage 12 that has entered from point A 'through point B' stops at points C 'to D', and is treated as a disembarking passenger and a passenger. When the passenger handling is completed, the passenger handling completion switch PB is operated to input the passenger handling completion to the controller CONT or to register it.

As the passenger handling completion switch PB, a single button or a combination of a plurality of switches, such as a push button operated by an attendant when passenger handling is completed, or a switch for confirming that a door of a carrier is closed, can be used.

On the other hand, the rope movement detector SR sends a pulse signal to the controller CONT at every constant movement of the rope 3 ', but receives a signal from the carriage traveling detector LS, which will be described later, when the passenger carriage 12 has passed. From this time, the pulse signal is counted, and when the pulse signal reaches a predetermined set value, a signal indicating the departure condition OK is generated. This means that
The preceding passenger carriage 12 moves forward by a predetermined allowable interval,
This indicates that the departure condition is OK. Here, in the controller CONT, the completion of the passenger handling and the departure conditions
When both "OK" are satisfied, the clutch means 66 'is switched to the connected state and controlled. In this way, the stopping device 60 'starts rotating, and the passenger carrier 12 advances forward and departs. Here, a carry-in progress detector LS disposed near the point D 'detects that this carry-over has passed, and sends this signal to the controller CONT. In the controller CONT, the connection of the clutch means 66 'is disconnected again, the stop of the next passenger carrying device 12 is arranged, and the start of the next pulse signal counting is arranged.

FIG. 8 (a) shows the carriage 12 in this stop mode.

It is equipped with M _5. The motors M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₃ , M ₄ , M ₅ are preferably variable speed motors, which are controlled by a central controller CCONT to operate in proportion to the speed of the cable 3 ″. The driving and operating methods have the same functions as those in the case of using the mechanical transmission device in the second embodiment.

Here, from the central controller CCONT to the motor M
_A controller SCONT is inserted in the middle of the connection system to reach the position ₃ , whereby the operation of the stop device 60 ″ is interrupted. The function of the controller SCONT is the same as that of the controller CONT in the second embodiment. In other words, the rope travel detector SR "sends a pulse signal proportional to the travel of the rope 3" to the controller SCONT, and the transport progress detector LS "has a passenger handling completion. Controller SCON from switch PB "
A signal is sent to T.

If we describe the operation of the operation method in this embodiment,

While the motor M ₃ is likewise the controller by the central controller CCONT for stopping device 60 ', intermittent operation by connection path intermediate of the controller SCONT is performed. That is, rope movement amount detector
The pulse signal from SR ″ is sent to the controller SCONT,
Now preceding passenger carriage is carriage traveling detector LS "controller SCONT after a lapse of position retention device to stop the motor M ₃ 60"
Is stopped and the pulses are counted. The subsequent transporter stops here because the stopping device 60 "is stopped, and the passenger is handled. When the passenger handling completion switch PB" is operated after the passenger handling is completed, the count value of the preceding pulse is reduced to a predetermined value. the electric motor M ₃ is rotated on a condition that has become a set value or more to resume the transfer by stopping device 60 ', the the succeeding carriage to start the transfer. hereinafter, such an operation is repeated.

In the case of the passing mode using a chair carrier, the controller SCONT
Pauses the function, the motor M ₃ are operated continuously is controlled directly to the central controller Ccont, transfer by stopping device 60 "is continued.

The operation direction of the present embodiment is basically the same as that of the second embodiment, except that the mechanical connection of the transfer devices is replaced by the electrical connection.

〔The invention's effect〕

In the automatic circulating cableway, there is often a desire to use the same equipment to transport skiers using a chair transporter in winter and transport tourists and climbers using a passenger transporter in summer to operate all year round. However, there was a problem that the two types of carriages could not be operated simply by replacing the carriages because of the different way of getting on and off.

According to the operation method of the present invention, a stop device is provided in the forwarding section in the terminal, and the terminal can be operated by switching between the stop mode and the pass mode. When the vehicle is continuously operated and transported, and the carriage is used, the vehicle can be temporarily stopped in the boarding / alighting zone to safely handle passengers.

Therefore, even in the case of cableway equipment that has been idle in the summer season despite a request for transportation, it is possible to operate the equipment year-round and use the equipment effectively. Or in winter,
Even in cableway equipment that has been transported by the same type of transporter in the summer season, if the operation method of the present invention is used, a suitable and safe transport service that meets the needs of passengers in each season can be provided.
