Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術】
本発明は索道の内の特に自動循環式索道の停留場で搬器へ乗客が乗車する乗車システムに関するものおである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
代表的な自動循環式索道140の平面図を図10に示す。両端の停留場141a,141bにはそれぞれ滑車142aおよび142bが枢設され、これらの滑車142aと142bとの間には索条143が無端状に捲き回されて索道線路144中に張架されている。各々の停留場141aと141bには軌条146aと軌条146bがそれぞれ搬器160の到着側から出発側に向かって平面視でほぼU字状をなして高架に配設されている。
【0003】
搬器160(椅子式搬器)は握索機161に搬器椅子162を懸垂した公知の構成のものである。搬器160は索道線路144中においては握索機161で索条143を握索して、該索条143の移動と共に運行される。搬器160が一方の停留場141aに到着すると握索機161は索条143を放索して離れ、軌条146aに導かれて走行を開始すると共に減速され緩速で回送移送され出発側に転向された後、途中乗車位置149を通過する際には乗客が搬器160へ乗車をする。次いで乗客が乗車した搬器160は加速されて握索機161が索条143を握索し、該索条143の移動と共に矢印145aの索道線路144中へ出発する。
【0004】
図10において、搬器160は1台のみが示されているが、実際には複数台の搬器160,160,…が用いられて、所定の間隔毎に次々に運行されている。
【0005】
停留場141aには搬器160の出発側の延長線上に進入路147を設けて乗客を矢印149方向へ誘導し、乗客は乗車位置148で搬器160へ着座して乗車させるようにしている。
【0006】
搬器160が他方の停留場141bに到着すると、再び握索機161は索条143を放索して離れ、軌条146bに導かれて走行を開始すると共に減速され、途中降車位置151を通過する際には乗客が搬器160から降車をする。次いで乗客が降車した搬器160は出発側に転向された後、加速されて握索機161が索条143を握索し、該索条143の移動と共に矢印145bの索道線路144中へ出発する。
また、停留場141bにおいては搬器160の到着側の延長線上に退出路150を設け、降車位置151で搬器160から降車した乗客は退出路150を矢印152方向に誘導されて停留場141bから離れるようにしている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記した現在最も多く架設されている自動循環式索道140は搬器160の定員が4人の椅子式搬器を用いたものである。しかし、近時海外においては更なる輸送力の向上を目的にして乗車定員を6人にした椅子式搬器を用いた自動循環式索道も実現化されている。しかし、椅子式搬器の場合には乗客は搬器の移動経路に立ち入って乗車することになる。しかし、上記した従来の自動循環式索道140の乗車方法であると椅子式搬器の乗車定員が増加すると待機場所から進入路を通過して乗車位置で乗客の全員が揃うまでに要する時間がそれだけ長くなり、従って、乗客が進入路を通過するに際して緩速で移動する搬器160と接触しないように安全上から隣り合う搬器160と搬器160の間隔を広げることが必要になる。
【0008】
しかし、搬器160と搬器160の間隔を広げると索道線路144中を運行する搬器160,160,…の台数が減るために輸送力が低下することになる。
【0009】
本発明の課題は椅子式搬器の乗車定員を増やし、且つ索道線路中を運行する搬器の間隔を広げないようにして輸送力を上げる椅子式搬器を用いた自動循環式索道における乗客の乗車システムを提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記した課題を解決するために、自動循環式索道の乗車側の停留場に架設され、到着した搬器が減速される区間を有する到着側本線軌条と出発する搬器が加速される区間を有する出発側本線軌条との間には、前記到着側本線軌条へ到着側スイッチレールを介在して一端側を断続可能に連接するとともに他端側を前記出発側本線軌条へ出発側スイッチレールを介在して断続可能に連接した、内ループ軌条および外ループ軌条を備え、
前記到着側本線軌条と前記内ループ軌条と前記外ループ軌条および前記出発側本線軌条に沿っては、複数の回送区間に分割して前記搬器を変速可能に回送移送するための搬器間隔切換装置および複数の回送移送装置を並設し、
前記内ループ軌条と前記外ループ軌条の搬器の回送移送経路には各々内側乗車位置と外側乗車位置とを施設し、
搬器の通過するタイミングを検出し、その基準値と比較することにより搬器間隔調整区間での搬器移送速度を調整するための搬器位置検出器を内ループ軌条の乗車移送区間と外ループ軌条の搬器間隔調整区間とに設け、
前記搬器は前記搬器間隔切換装置で外ループ軌条を走行する搬器と内ループ軌条を走行する後続の搬器との間隔を広げて前記到着側本線軌条から前記到着側スイッチレールで前記内ループ軌条と前記外ループ軌条へ交互に振り分けて回送移送され、
前記内側乗車位置と外側乗車位置で乗客が乗車した後に前記回送移送装置で再び搬器間隔を元の等間隔に戻して前記出発側スイッチレールで出発側本線軌条へ合流して回送移送するようにする。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態の詳細を図を用いて説明する。図1は複数の搬器(椅子式搬器)8,8,…の運行状態を示したものである。
【0012】
乗車側の山麓停留場2に枢設された滑車7と、降車側の山頂停留場3に枢設された滑車6との間には無端状に繋いだ索条5をそれぞれ半周づつ捲き掛けて索道線路4中に張架する。そして、滑車6,7を矢印18,19方向へ回転させると索条5は索道線路4中にあっては矢印21方向の上り線と、矢印20方向の下り線を所定の運転速度で移動する。搬器8,8,…は各々図8に示した握索機110,110,…が移動する索条5を握索することで索道線路4中を運行される。
【0013】
次いで、山麓停留場2には詳細は後記するが、本発明に係わる索条5を放索した搬器8,8,…が走行するための直線状の到着側本線軌条15a,出発側本線軌条15bと、平面視で略”U”字状に形成された内ループ軌条16および外ループ軌条17とが一端側は到着側スイッチレール32を介在して到着側本線軌条15aと接続され、他端側は出発側スイッチレール33を介在して出発側本線軌条15bと接続されて平面視で2重ループ状に高架に配設されている。
【0014】
さらに、前記した内ループ軌条16の索道線路4と直角の矢印22へ向かう搬器8,8,…の移動経路には斜線を施した枠で表す内側乗車位置9、および図示上方の後方には、かかる内側乗車位置9へ乗客の進入を適正にするための内側ゲート群11を配列した進入路9aが施設され、同様にして外ループ軌条17の搬器8,8,…の移動経路には斜線を施した枠で表す外側乗車位置10、および図示上方の後方に位置して外側ゲート群12を配列した進入路10aとが施設されている。
【0015】
他方、図示右側の山頂停留場3に於いては従来と同様に平面視”U”字状の軌条14が高架に配設され、到着側3aの搬器8,8,…の移動経路には降車位置13、および図示右側の前方に退出路13aが施設されている。
【0016】
図2は図1で示した乗車側の山麓停留場2内で搬器(椅子式搬器)8,8,…の移送に係わる装置および移送制御のための検出器の配設状態を示した平面図であり、矢印20方向より以下順番に説明をする。
【0017】
始めに、到着側2aの到着側本線軌条15aに沿って複数のタイヤ76,76,…を等間隔にして矢印20方向に順次回転が遅くなる様にベルトで連結した公知の減速移送装置25、詳細な構造は後記するが回送速度を切り換えられる搬器間隔切換装置27、内ループ軌条16の区間を含んだタイヤ回送移送装置31および出発側2bの出発側本線軌条15bに沿って複数のタイヤ76,76,…を等間隔にして矢印21方向に順次回転が速くなる様にベルトで連結した公知の加速移送装置26が連続して配設されている。
【0018】
これに対して、到着側スイッチレール32と出発側スイッチレール33を介在して到着側本線軌条15aと出発側本線軌条15bの間に配備した外ループ軌条17の区間で搬器(椅子式搬器)8,8,…を回送移送するためのチェン回送移送装置28、タイヤ回送移送装置30、チェン回送移送装置29が順に並設されている。
【0019】
再び、矢印20から搬器8,8,…の進行方向に向かって順番に減速移送装置25が減速移送区間L1、搬器間隔切換装置27が搬器間隔切換区間L2と対応している。続いて、到着側スイッチレール32と出発側スイッチレール33の間にある内ループ軌条16に並設したタイヤ回送移送装置31が乗車移送区間L8と対応する。外ループ軌条17については順に、一方のチェン回送移送装置28がチェン回送移送区間L3、タイヤ回送移送装置30が乗車移送区間L5、他方のチェン回送移送装置29がチェン移送区間L6と対応し、またそれぞれの上記した移送区間は連続したものとなされている。つぎに、出発側スイッチレール33から矢印21方向に向かって加速移送装置26が加速移送区間L9と対応している。また、搬器8,8,…の移送制御用として搬器間隔切換区間L2の両端部には搬器位置検出器a,bを具える。
【0020】
外ループ軌条17にあって一方のチェン回送移送区間L3内にも搬器位置検出器c,dを具え、両検出器を挟んで定速移送区間L4を区画し、同様にして、他方のチェン移送区間L6内には搬器位置検出器e,fを具え、搬器間隔調整区間L7を区画する。そして、内ループ軌条16の乗車移送区間L8で内側乗車位置9の近傍に位置して搬器位置検出器gを具える。
【0021】
また、内ループ軌条16の索道線路4と直角の向きで、搬器8.8.…の直線状の移送経路には斜線を施した内側乗車位置9と、図示上方の後方に向けて、かかる内側乗車位置9の進入路9aを設けて、さらに、搬器8の定員と等しい数のゲート装置34,34,…を内側乗車位置9に対して平面視で斜めに並べた内側ゲート群11を進入路9aの入口に配備する。同様にして外ループ軌条17の直線部分の移送経路には斜線を施した外側乗車位置10を設定し、図示上方の後方には進入路10aを設けて入口には前記した内側ゲート群11と同じゲート装置34,34,…を斜めに並べた外側ゲート群12を配備する。
【0022】
続いて、図3は山頂停留場3で搬器8,8,…の移送に係わる装置および移送制御のための検出器の配備状態を示した平面図であり到着側の矢印21方向より順番に説明する。
【0023】
始めに、軌条14の内の到着側本線軌条14aには等間隔にタイヤ76,76,…を並べ、矢印21方向に順次回転が遅くなる様にベルトで連結した公知の減速移送装置100と、減速された搬器8,8,…を所定の緩速度で移送する回送移送装置101を並設する。つぎに、”U”字状の曲線部は山麓停留場2に配備した搬器間隔切換装置27と同一の構造でインバータモータで駆動して搬器8の移送速度を変速可能な3組の搬器間隔調整装置102,回送移送装置103,搬器間隔調整装置104が並設され、続けて、出発側3bの直線部には前記した減速移送装置100とは逆に等間隔にタイヤ76,76,…を並べ、矢印20方向に順次回転が速くなる様にベルトで連結した公知の加速移送装置105を並設する。
【0024】
そして、減速移送装置100が減速移送区間L10、回送移送装置101が定速移送区間L11、搬器間隔調整装置102が搬器間隔調整区間L12、回送移送装置103が定速回送区間L13、搬器間隔調整装置104が搬器間隔調整区間L14、加速移送移送装置105が加速移送区間L15にそれぞれ対応する。また、搬器8,8,…の移送制御用として搬器間隔調整区間L12の両端部付近に、各々搬器位置検出器h,iおよび搬器間隔調整区間L14の両端部付近にも各々搬器位置検出器j,kを具える。また、索条5の循環移動に追従して回転し、電気パルスを発生する索条移動量検出器106とタコゼネレータ107も具える。
【0025】
ここで、山麓停留場2側に配備した搬器間隔切換装置27とタイヤ回送移送装置30、および山頂停留場3側に配備した搬器間隔調整装置102,104と回送移送装置103は並べたタイヤ76,76,…の数が違うだけで基本的な構成は同じであり、図4,5に搬器間隔調整装置60としてその正面図と側面図を示す。
【0026】
山麓停留場2と山頂停留場3に立設されたコラム(図示なし。)には長方角型管材で形成したフレーム71を水平にして架設する。かかるフレーム71の底面には等間隔にボス72,72,…を固着して懸下し、図示で左端にはタイヤ76,76,…を、右端には二溝のプーリ75,75,…を取り付けた軸73,73,…を水平に枢支する。こうして、プーリ75,75,…とタイヤ76,76,…は軸73,73,…と共に一体的に垂直方向に回転する。
【0027】
上記プーリ75,75,…の内、一箇所のプーリ75はV溝と歯形を同芯状に形成した歯付プーリ74に置き換える。続いて、図4に示す様にフレーム71の上面にはプレート71aを貼着し、図5の側面視で略井桁状のフレーム66を構成する下プレート66bの四隅をボルト67,67,67,67で固着して取り付ける。フレーム66の上プレート66aからは調整ボルト65,65,65,65を上方に突出させて取付台64を上下に位置調整可能に支持する。かかる取付台64にはインバータモータ61を同軸上に一体にして組み込んだ減速機62を締結し、軸62aには歯付プーリ63を挿着する。その際、図5の側面視でかかる歯付プーリ63の中心と、前記したタイヤ76側の歯付プーリ74の中心とが垂直線79上に並ぶ位置にすると共に、図4の正面視でも上下の同一位置に並ぶようにする。
【0028】
そして、歯付プーリ63と歯付プーリ74との間には無端状の歯付ベルト77を巻き掛ける。フレーム66の上プレート66aには図5で示す垂直線79の右側に、ゴム等の弾性材を用いたてテンション部材68を取付け、中心にはアーム69の一端側を軸支し、かかるアーム69の他端にはテンションプーリ70を枢着する。アーム69に作用するテンション部材68の回転復元力でテンションプーリ70を歯付ベルト77の内側に押し付けて張力を与えて歯付ベルト77が循環移動中に歯付プーリ63或いは歯付プーリ74から逸脱しないようにする。
【0029】
インバータモータ61を回転起動すると減速機62を介して回転速度が減速されて軸62aに挿着した歯付プーリ63が回転し、歯付ベルト77で歯付プーリ74に伝達され、歯付プーリ74が回転する。かかる歯付プーリ74が回転すると、図5に示す歯付プーリ74に隣り合うプーリ75とプーリ75間に互い違いに捲き掛けた一本のVベルト78およびVベルト78でプーリ75およびプーリ75が回転し、軸73,73,…と共にタイヤ76,76,…も回転する。また、インバータモータ61の回転速度を変速すると歯付プーリ63から歯付ベルト77、歯付プーリ74、そしてVベルト78,78,…およびプーリ75,75,…の順に回転が伝達されタイヤ76,76,…も変速して回転する。周知の事ではあるが、図8に示す様に前記したタイヤ76,76,…が回転しながら搬器8の握索機110を上方から押圧して当接すると、その際に生じる摩擦力で握索機110、即ち搬器8は軌条122(14,15,16,17)を走行する。
【0030】
次に、図2の山麓停留場2で外ループ軌条17に並設した2組のチェン回送移送装置28,29の基本的な構造を図6、7、8で説明する。図6、7に於いてチェン回送移送装置28の右側にある一方のベース86にはインバータモータ83および同軸上に減速機84を積層して一体にしたものを縦置きにして装備する。減速機84のベース86の下方に向けて突出した軸84aへスプロケット車85を水平に挿着する。
【0031】
インバータモータ83と減速機84を一体にして装備したベース86には4箇所に長穴86a,86a,86a,86aを穿孔し、全体を支持するフレーム80とベース86の間に具えた位置決めボルト88を用いて図示左右に位置調整後ベース86を4本のボルト87,87,87,87でフレーム80へ固着する。
【0032】
図示左側にもベース90には軸92を縦向きに具え、スプロケット車91を水平に回転可能に枢着する。前記と同様にしてベース90にも4箇所に長穴90a,90a,90a,90aを穿孔し、位置決めボルト88で固定位置を調整した後、ベース90を4本のボルト87,87,87,87でフレーム80へ固着して取り付ける。
【0033】
つぎに、インバータモータ83で駆動される駆動スプロケット車85(28a,29a)と従動スプロケット車91(28b,29b)の間には図2で示した外ループ軌条17のチェン移送区間L3と平面視で等間隔を保つように湾曲した区間を有する外ループ軌条17に近い側のチェンガイド81と、かかるチェンガイド81と等間隔を保つように湾曲した形状にした遠い側のチェンガイド82とをフレーム80にそれぞれ固設する。さらに、図8で示す様にフレーム80は複数の支持ブラケット124,124,…で懸架し、ボルト125,125,…で場内フレーム120へ締結し架設する。前記、チェンガイド81とチェンガイド82には断面視で横向きに”T”型の溝を全長に亙って形成する。
【0034】
つぎに、図6で示す様に、チェン93は無端鎖状に繋ぎ、また、チェン93には一箇所しか図示していないが複数のチェンリンクにアタッチメント89a,89a,…を延出し、左右対称となるように一対に組み合わせた爪89.89を各々ピン89b,89bで水平に一方向にだけ回転可能に枢着する。この様にして複数組の爪89,89,…をチェン93の全周に亙って具える。かかる爪89,89,…を具えたチェン93は両端を駆動スプロケット車85(28a,29a)と従動スプロケット車91(28b,29b)へ巻き掛けて往復の移動経路はチェンガイド81とチェンガイド82に形成したT型の溝に嵌め込んだ状態で案内する。
【0035】
こうして、インバータモータ83を起動すると減速機84で減速して駆動スプロケット車85を回転し、チェン93および複数組の爪89,89,…をチェンガイド81とチェンガイド82で案内して、駆動スプロケット車85(28a,29a)と従動スプロケット車91(28b,29b)との間を循環移動させる。
【0036】
その際、図8に示す様に搬器8はサスペンダ113が循環移動する一対の爪89,89の間に嵌まり込んだ状態で移送される。この時、搬器8の握索機110の2つ走行輪111,111が断面視”U”字型の軌条122を転動し、ガイドローラ112が場内フレーム120の側面に固設した”C”型鋼材で形成されたガイド123の溝に嵌まり込み転動することで移送時の搬器8の姿勢が保たれ、爪89,89がサスペンダ113から外れることはない。外ループ軌条17の出発側2bのチェン移送区間L6で搬器8,8,…を回送移送するチェン回送移送装置29も移送距離の違いはあるものの前記したチェン回送移送装置28と同様の構成である。
【0037】
つぎに、山麓停留場2と山頂停留場3における搬器8,8,…の移送方法および乗客(スキーヤー130,130,…)の乗車方法について説明する。はじめに、図3で示す山頂停留場3では搬器8が索道線路4の矢印21方向から山頂停留場3に到着すると図8に示した握索機110が索条5を放索して軌条14上を走行する。軌条14の到着側3aの減速移送区間L10には複数のタイヤ76,76,…を搬器8の進行方向に順に回転が遅くなるようにベルト等で連結して構成した公知の減速移送装置100を並設しており、搬器8は減速移送区間L10を通過すると索道線路4の運行速度から乗客が降車可能な低速の回送速度にまで減速される。続いて、搬器8は回送移送装置101で定速回送区間L11を通過し、降車位置13に至ると乗客は降車して退出路13aを通り、山麓停留場3から退出する。
【0038】
尚、制御装置は降車位置13を通過する搬器8aの一つ前を先行する搬器8bが搬器間隔調整区間L12,定速回送区間L13の境界に具えた搬器位置検出器iを通過する時点で索条5の移動により索条移動量検出器106から常時発信している電気パルスの計数を開始している。そして、後続の搬器8aが降車位置13にある搬器位置検出器hを通過すると電気パルスの計数を終え、その時の計数値を基準値(所定の搬器間隔に相当するパルス数)と比較して、もし基準値<計数値であれば先行する搬器8bとの間隔が広いと判定し、定速移送区間L11に続く円弧状の搬器間隔調整区間L12で並設したインバータモータ駆動の搬器間隔調整装置102を所定の搬器間隔となる様に回送速度を増速する。逆に、基準値>計数値であれば先行する搬器との間隔が狭いと判定し、回送速度を減速する。
【0039】
さらに、一つ前を先行する搬器8bが前記した搬器位置検出器iを通過する前に後続の搬器8aが降車位置13にある搬器位置検出器hを通過して搬器間隔調整区間L12内に2台の搬器8,8が回送移送された状態になると、制御装置は搬器間隔が極端に縮まったものと見做して先行する搬器8bが搬器位置検出器iを通過して搬器間隔調整区間L12から抜けると同時に搬器間隔調整装置102を最大限に減速して2台の搬器8a,8bの間隔を可能な限り広げる。
【0040】
その後、制御装置は先行する搬器8bが定速回送区間L13を通過して搬器間隔調整区間L14の始端に具えた搬器位置検出器jを通過すると前走の搬器8cが搬器位置検出器kを通過した際に開始していた電気パルスの計数を終了し、計数値と基準値との大小を比較して搬器間隔調整区間L14に並設した搬器間隔調整装置104で回送速度を変速して前走する搬器8cとの間隔を所定の搬器間隔となるように調整する。
【0041】
さらに、前記の搬器8bが搬器間隔調整区間L14の終端付近にある搬器位置検出器kを通過すると制御装置は再び索条移動量検出器106からの電気パルスの計数を開始し、後続の搬器8aが搬器間隔調整区間L14の始端にある搬器位置検出器jを通過すると計数を終え、同様にして計数値と基準値(所定の搬器間隔に相当するパルス数)との大小を比較して搬器間隔調整装置104の回送速度を変速して所定の搬器間隔を維持するよにする。こうして、2区間に並設した搬器間隔調整装置102,104とで前走する搬器8を基準にして次々に所定の搬器間隔にする為の調整が行われる。しかも、索条5の循環移動に追従して回転するタコゼネレータ107の電圧出力を搬器間隔調整装置102,104と回送移送装置103のインバータドライバに入力して索条5の移動速度に搬器間隔調整装置102,104および回送移送装置103の回送速度を追従させることで運転速度を切り換えても搬器8,8,の回送が行われるようにしている。
【0042】
さらに、搬器間隔調整装置102,104と回送移送装置103とは個別に駆動用のインバータモータを装備しており、手動操作に切り換えれば装置単位での正逆の回送駆動も可能である。ここで例えば、2台の搬器8,8が極端に接近して同じ区間を走行する状態になった際には、それぞれの装置を手動操作に切り換えて、1台の搬器8を隣の区間に送り、それぞれ独立して搬器間隔調整装置102または104で搬器8を回送する様にして大幅な搬器間隔の調整も可能にしている。
【0043】
続いて、上記した山頂停留場3で搬器8,8,…が所定の搬器間隔に調整されて出発し、索道線路4中を運行して山麓停留場2に到着した以後の山麓停留場2での搬器8,8,…の回送移送の仕方について図2を用いて説明をする。
【0044】
矢印20方向より山麓停留場2に到着した搬器8,8,…は到着側本線軌条15aを走行すると同時に握索機110は索条5を放索し、減速移送区間L1を走行中に減速移送装置25で索道線路4の運行速度から乗客が乗車可能な回送速度にまで減速される。
【0045】
続いて、回送速度となった搬器8が搬器間隔切換区間L2に至と、かかる搬器8を外ループ軌条17へ回送する場合には、搬器間隔切換装置27は減速せず搬器8を所定の回送速度で移送し、終端にある搬器位置検出器bを通過すると搬器間隔切換装置27は所定の回送速度から減速した回送速度になる。そして、後続の搬器8を内ループ軌条16へ回送する場合には、搬器間隔切換装置27は搬器8を減速した回送速度で移送し、終端にある搬器位置検出器bを通過すると搬器間隔切換装置27は再び所定の回送速度に復帰する。即ち、搬器搬器間隔切換装置27は搬器間隔切換区間L2で外ループ軌条17を走行する搬器8と内ループ軌条16を走行する後続の搬器8との間隔を広げるようにする。結果として、その次に外ループ軌条17を走行する搬器8との間隔は狭くなるようにする。
【0046】
搬器8が内ループ軌条16を走行する場合には、搬器8は内ループ軌条16側へ切り換えられた到着側スイッチレール32を通過して内ループ軌条16へ分岐し、タイヤ回送移送装置31で内乗車移送区間L8を出発側スイッチレール33まで所定の回送速度で移送されると共に、途中、内乗車位置9を通過する際には、待機していたスキーヤー130,130,…が搬器8へ着座して乗車し、引き続き進行方向が180度転向される。
【0047】
これに対して、搬器8が外ループ軌条17を走行する場合には減速移送区間L1を通過して減速移送装置25で所定の回送速度になり、続いて搬器間隔切換区間L2を搬器8が走行する際に搬器間隔切換装置27は前記した内ループ軌条16を回送移送する搬器8の様に回送速度を減速せず、搬器8を所定の回送速度で移送させる。
【0048】
つぎに、搬器8は前記した構成のチェン回送移送装置28で図8に示す様に搬器8の回送速度より遅い速度で矢印41方向へ循環移動する一対の爪89,89の間にサスペンダ113が嵌まり込み係止されて、外ループ軌条17へ切り換えられた到着側スイッチレール32を搬器8が横揺れしないように移送される。また、搬器8の移送がタイヤ回送移送装置31からチェン回送移送装置28に切り換えられた際に上記した様に循環移動する爪89,89の循環する速度を遅くすることで爪89,89がサスペンダ113に当接した際の衝撃を緩和している。そのまま搬器8はチェン移送区間L3にある搬器位置検出器cを通過すると爪89,89,…の循環移動速度を上げ、定速移送区間L4で増速して回送移送し、搬器位置検出器dを通過すると再び元の爪89,89の間にサスペンダ113が入るように回送速度を制御してチェン移送区間L3を移送される。
【0049】
続いて、搬器8はタイヤ回送移送装置30に引き継がれて乗車移送区間L5を索道線路4の方向と直角の矢印23方向へ移送する。乗車移送区間L5の中間に設けた外側乗車位置10では待機していた乗客(スキーヤー130,130,…)は通過する搬器8へ乗車する。また、搬器8は到着側2aより出発側2bへ転向される。
【0050】
乗車移送区間L5に続くチェン移送区間L6は一端は出発側スイッチレール33で出発側本線軌条15bに接続する。チェン移送区間L6内には搬器位置検出器e,fで搬器間隔調整区間L7を区画する。搬器8はチェン移送区間L6では前記したチェン回送移送装置28と同じ構成のチェン回送移送装置29で図8に示す様に矢印47方向へ移動する一対の爪89,89の間にサスペンダ113が入るように制御し、係止されて回送移送される。
【0051】
この時、内ループ軌条16を走行する搬器8が搬器位置検出器gを通過する点を基準にして外ループ軌条17の搬器位置検出器eを通過した搬器8との搬器間隔をパルス数に置き換えて電気的に計測し、基準値との差を算出する。そして、チェン回送移送装置29の爪89,89の循環速度を変えて内ループ軌条16を走行する搬器8と所定の搬器間隔となる様に調整し、その後、搬器8が搬器位置検出器fを通過すると爪89,89を元の所定の回送速度に戻すようにする。そして、搬器8は外ループ軌条17側へ切り換えられた出発側スイッチレール33を通過して出発側本線軌条15bへ回送移送される。外ループ軌条17では搬器8をチェン回送移送装置28とタイヤ回送移送装置30の構成が異なる回送移送装置で回送するので、内ループ軌条16を回送された搬器8と出発側スイッチレール33を通過して出発側本線軌条15bで合流した時に搬器間隔にずれが多少とも生じる。即ち、内ループ軌条16を回送移送される搬器8を基準にして外ループ軌条17を回送移送される搬器8をチェン回送移送装置29の搬器間隔調整区間L7で回送速度を調整して所定の搬器間隔となる様にする。
【0052】
さらに、外ループ軌条17では搬器8はチェン回送移送区間L3と乗車移送区間L5での回送速度を、一旦、基準回送速度(搬器8を外ループ軌条17を定速で回送させると内ループ軌条16を走行した搬器8と合流した後に所定の間隔になる速度)より遅く回送し、搬器間隔調整区間L7では加速して回送させることで、内ループ軌条16を走行する搬器8と外ループ軌条17を走行する搬器8同志が出発側スイッチレール33で出発側本線軌条15bへ合流する際に、衝突する危険性を軽減するようにしている。
【0053】

【0059】

【0061】

【0062】
この様に、本発明では乗車側の停留場には2箇所に乗車位置を設けて搬器がそれぞれの乗車位置を通過する様に、到着側と出発側の軌条の間スイッチレールを介在させて2つのループ軌条を架設する。こうして、索道線路中より乗車側停留場の到着側軌条へ一列に等間隔に並んで到着し、回送速度まで減速された搬器を搬器間隔切換装置で一旦、搬器の間隔を広げた後、到着側のスイッチレールを交互に切り換えて、それぞれのループ軌条へ振り分けて回送移送し、その後、それぞれの乗車位置を通過して乗客が搬器へ乗車した後、変速可能な回送移送装置で元の搬器間隔となる様に速度を変えて回送移送し、同様にして出発側のスイッチレールを交互に切り換えて出発側軌条へ合流させて、再び一列に等間隔に並べて加速して出発させる様にする
こうして、一旦は搬器の間隔を広げて搬器をそれぞれのループ軌条へ回送移送することで、一方の乗車位置への進入路を搬器が横切って通過する間の時間を補い、乗客が安全に乗車位置へ進入して搬器へ乗車できるようにすると共に、勿論、乗車位置を2箇所にした事で乗車効率が上がり、それ故に輸送力の向上も計ることができる。
【発明の効果】
従来の自動循環式索道では4人乗りの椅子式搬器を用いた設備が最も一般的であった。しかし、更なる輸送力の増強を計る為に6人乗り椅子式搬器を用いた自動循環式索道も出現している。
【0063】
本発明は乗車定員の多い椅子式搬器を用いた自動循環式索道で乗車側の停留場には索道線路と直角の向きして2箇所に乗車位置を設定し、それぞれの乗車位置を搬器が通過する様に、従来の略半円状のループ軌条(内ループ軌条)の外側に新たにもう一本の半円状のループ軌条(外ループ軌条)を設ける。そして、2つのループ軌条の両端は、減速移送区間のある直線状の到着側本線軌条と、加速移送区間のある出発側本線軌条へ各々スイッチレール(ポイント)を介在して連接する。そして、一列に並んで到着した搬器を到着側本線軌条で減速させた後、一方のスイッチレールを切り換えて2つのループ軌条(外ループ軌条と内ループ軌条)へ交互に振り分けて回送移送し、それぞれの搬器の移動経路に設定されている乗車位置で乗客(スキーヤー)が搬器へ乗車して搬器が出発側へ転向された後、2つのループ軌条を各々回送された搬器を他方のスイッチレール(ポイント)を交互に切り換えて内ループ軌条と外ループ軌条から出発側本線軌条へ合流して再び一列に並べ、加速して乗車側の停留場を出発させるようにしている。
【0064】
上記した搬器を回送する軌条の区間にはインバータモータで変速可能に駆動する複数のタイヤ回送移送装置、チェン回送移送装置および搬器間隔切換装置を軌条に並設して配備する。今、乗客(スキーヤー)が待機位置から内ループ軌条の乗車位置へ進入する際に、この進入路を外ループ軌条へ回送移送する搬器が横切って通過する為に、その時間分だけ乗客(スキーヤー)が待機位置から乗車位置へ移動して搬器に乗車する迄の時間が減少することになる。その為に到着側の内ループ軌条と外ループ軌条へ搬器を分岐する直前で前記の搬器間隔切換装置で内ループ軌条を回送させる搬器の回送速度を減速して外ループ軌条を回送させる搬器との間隔を広げて乗客(スキーヤー)が待機位置から内ループ軌条の乗車位置へ進入できる時間を長くして、乗客が乗車位置へ進入するに際して外ループへ回送する搬器に接触する危険性を軽減している。
【0065】
そして、乗車位置で乗客が乗車した後に、他方のスイッチレールを交互に切り換えて出発側本線軌条で合流する迄に、前記したチェン回送移送装置により前記した搬器間隔切換装置で遅らせて内ループ軌条を回送する搬器を基準にして外ループ軌条を回送する搬器との間隔が所定の均等な搬器間隔となる様に回送速度を変速する。この様にして、乗車定員の多い椅子式搬器を用いた自動循環式索道で停留場には2箇所に乗車位置を設けて乗客を搬器へ乗車させる様にして乗車効率を上げて輸送力を向上することができると共に、乗客が待機位置から乗車位置へ進入する際の時間的な余裕もできる様にして乗客の安全性も確保できる効果がある。

[Technology to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a boarding system in which passengers get on a carrier at a stop of an automatic circulation type cableway.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A plan view of a typical automatic circulation cableway 140 is shown in FIG. Pulleys 142a and 142b are pivotally provided at the stops 141a and 141b at both ends, respectively, and a rope 143 is wound endlessly between these pulleys 142a and 142b and stretched in the cableway 144. Yes. In each of the stops 141a and 141b, a rail 146a and a rail 146b are arranged in an elevated shape in a substantially U shape in plan view from the arrival side to the departure side of the transporter 160, respectively.
[0003]
The carrying device 160 (chair type carrying device) has a known configuration in which the carrying device chair 162 is suspended from the grinder 161. The carrying device 160 is operated along with the movement of the cable 143 by holding the cable 143 by the gripping machine 161 in the cable track 144. When the transporter 160 arrives at one stop 141a, the gripping machine 161 unloads the cable 143, leaves the cable 143, is guided to the rail 146a, starts traveling, is decelerated, is transported at a slow speed, and is turned to the departure side. Then, when the passenger passes the boarding position 149, the passenger gets on the transporter 160. Next, the transporter 160 on which the passenger has boarded is accelerated, and the gripping device 161 grips the rope 143, and starts with the movement of the rope 143 into the cable track 144 indicated by the arrow 145a.
[0004]
In FIG. 10, only one transporter 160 is shown, but actually, a plurality of transporters 160, 160,... Are used and operated one after another at predetermined intervals.
[0005]
The stop 141a is provided with an approach path 147 on the extension line on the departure side of the transporter 160 to guide the passenger in the direction of the arrow 149, and the passenger is seated on the transporter 160 at the boarding position 148.
[0006]
When the transporter 160 arrives at the other stop 141b, the gripping device 161 unloads the strip 143 again, and is guided to the rail 146b to start traveling and decelerate, and passes the stop position 151 on the way. Passengers get off the transporter 160. Next, the transporter 160 from which the passenger got off is turned to the departure side, then accelerated, and the gripping device 161 seizes the cable 143, and departs into the cable track 144 indicated by the arrow 145b along with the movement of the cable 143.
In the stop 141b, an exit path 150 is provided on the extension line on the arrival side of the transporter 160, so that passengers who get off from the transporter 160 at the getting-off position 151 are guided in the direction of the arrow 152 in the exit path 150 to leave the stop 141b. I have to.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-described automatic circulation type cableway 140 installed most frequently uses a chair-type carrier having a capacity of four people. Recently, however, an automatic circulation cableway using a chair-type transporter with six passengers has been realized for the purpose of further improving transportation capacity. However, in the case of a chair-type transporter, the passenger enters the travel path of the transporter and gets on. However, in the above-described conventional method of riding the automatic circulation cableway 140, when the seating capacity of the chair-type transporter increases, the time required for all the passengers to gather at the boarding position after passing the approach path from the waiting place becomes much longer. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the distance between the adjacent transporter 160 and the transporter 160 from the viewpoint of safety so that the passenger does not come into contact with the transporter 160 that moves at a slow speed when passing through the approach path.
[0008]
However, if the distance between the transporter 160 and the transporter 160 is increased, the number of transporters 160, 160,...
[0009]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a passenger boarding system for an automatic circulation type cableway using a chair type carrier that increases the seating capacity of the chair type carrier and increases the transport capacity without increasing the distance between the carriers operating in the cableway. It is to provide.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a departure side having a section where an arrival side main line rail having a section where an arrival carrier is decelerated and a section where the arrival carrier is decelerated is installed at a stop on the boarding side of an automatic circulation type cableway Between the main line rail, an arrival side switch rail is connected to the arrival side main line rail so that one end can be intermittently connected, and the other end side is connected to the departure side main rail via a departure side switch rail. An inner loop rail and an outer loop rail connected to each other as possible,
A transporter interval switching device for transporting the transporter in a variable speed manner by dividing it into a plurality of forward sections along the arrival side main line rail, the inner loop rail, the outer loop rail, and the departure side main rail. A plurality of forward transfer devices are installed side by side,
Each of the inner loop rail and the outer loop rail is provided with an inner boarding position and an outer boarding position in the forward transfer path of the carrier,
The carrier position detector is used to adjust the transport speed of the transporter in the transporter interval adjustment section by detecting the timing when the transporter passes and comparing it with the reference value. The transporter interval of the inner loop rail and the outer loop rail In the adjustment section,
The transporter widens the distance between the transporter that travels on the outer loop rail and the subsequent transporter that travels on the inner loop rail by the transporter interval switching device, and the inner loop rail and the inner loop rail from the arrival side main rail to the arrival side switch rail. Alternatingly distributed to the outer loop rail, forwarded,
After the passengers get on at the inner boarding position and the outer boarding position, the transporting device again returns the transporter interval to the original equidistant space, and the starting switch rail joins the starting main rail and transports it. .
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Details of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the operation state of a plurality of carriers (chair-type carriers) 8, 8,.
[0012]
Between the pulley 7 pivoted on the mountainside stop 2 on the boarding side and the pulley 6 pivoted on the mountaintop stop 3 on the dismounting side, the endlessly connected rope 5 is slid halfway.

[0030]
Next, the basic structure of the two sets of chain transfer / transfer devices 28 and 29 arranged in parallel with the outer loop rail 17 at the foothill stop 2 in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, one base 86 on the right side of the chain transfer / transfer device 28 is equipped with an inverter motor 83 and a coaxially integrated reduction gear 84 stacked vertically. The sprocket wheel 85 is horizontally inserted into the shaft 84a protruding downward from the base 86 of the speed reducer 84.

[0032]
Also on the left side of the figure, the base 90 is provided with a shaft 92 in a vertical direction, and a sprocket wheel 91 is pivotally mounted so as to be horizontally rotatable. In the same manner as described above, the base 90 is also drilled with four long holes 90a, 90a, 90a, 90a, and the fixing position is adjusted with the positioning bolt 88, and then the base 90 is fixed to the four bolts 87, 87, 87, 87. To attach to the frame 80.
[0033]
Next, between the drive sprocket wheel 85 (28a, 29a) driven by the inverter motor 83 and the driven sprocket wheel 91 (28b, 29b), the chain transfer section L3 of the outer loop rail 17 shown in FIG. The chain guide 81 on the side close to the outer loop rail 17 having a section curved so as to keep an equal interval in the frame, and the chain guide 82 on the far side having a curved shape so as to keep an equal interval with the chain guide 81 are framed. 80 is fixed. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the frame 80 is suspended by a plurality of support brackets 124, 124,... And fastened to the in-house frame 120 by bolts 125, 125,. In the chain guide 81 and the chain guide 82, a “T” -shaped groove is formed across the entire length in a cross-sectional view.
[0034]
Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the chain 93 is connected in an endless chain shape, and although only one place is shown in the chain 93, attachments 89a, 89a,... The pawls 89.89 combined in a pair so as to be pivoted are pivotally attached to the pins 89b and 89b horizontally only in one direction. In this way, a plurality of sets of claws 89, 89,... The chain 93 provided with the claws 89, 89,... Is wound on both ends of the drive sprocket wheel 85 (28a, 29a) and the driven sprocket wheel 91 (28b, 29b). The guide is guided in a state of being fitted into a T-shaped groove formed in the above.
[0035]
Thus, when the inverter motor 83 is started, the speed is reduced by the speed reducer 84 and the drive sprocket wheel 85 is rotated, and the chain 93 and the plurality of sets of claws 89, 89,. Circulating movement between the wheel 85 (28a, 29a) and the driven sprocket wheel 91 (28b, 29b).
[0036]
At that time, as shown in FIG. 8, the transporter 8 is transferred in a state of being fitted between a pair of claws 89 and 89 in which the suspender 113 is circulated. At this time, the two traveling wheels 111, 111 of the grinder 110 of the transporter 8 roll along the rail “U” shaped in section view “C”, and the guide roller 112 is fixed to the side surface of the field frame 120 “C”. The posture of the transporter 8 at the time of transfer is maintained by fitting and rolling into the groove of the guide 123 formed of a mold steel material, and the claws 89 and 89 do not come off the suspender 113. The chain forward transfer device 29 that forwards and transports the carriers 8, 8,... In the chain transfer section L6 on the departure side 2b of the outer loop rail 17 has the same configuration as the above-described chain forward transfer device 28 although there is a difference in the transfer distance. .
[0037]
Next, a method for transferring the carriers 8, 8,... And a method for boarding passengers (skiers 130, 130,...) At the foothill stop 2 and the summit stop 3 will be described. First, in the summit stop 3 shown in FIG. 3, when the transporter 8 arrives at the summit stop 3 from the direction of the arrow 21 of the cableway 4, the gripper 110 shown in FIG. Drive on. A known decelerating transfer device 100 configured by connecting a plurality of tires 76, 76,... With a belt or the like so that the rotation is sequentially slowed in the traveling direction of the transporter 8 is provided in the decelerating transfer section L10 on the arrival side 3a of the rail 14. When the carriage 8 passes through the deceleration transfer section L10, the carriage 8 is decelerated from the operation speed of the cableway 4 to a low forwarding speed at which passengers can get off. Subsequently, the transporter 8 passes through the constant speed forwarding section L11 by the forwarding transfer device 101, and when it reaches the getting-off position 13, the passenger gets off, passes through the exit path 13a, and exits from the foothill stop 3.
[0038]
In addition, the control device detects the time when the transporter 8b preceding the transporter 8a passing the unloading position 13 passes the transporter position detector i provided at the boundary between the transporter interval adjustment section L12 and the constant speed forwarding section L13. The movement of the strip 5 starts counting the electric pulses that are constantly transmitted from the strip movement amount detector 106. Then, when the subsequent transporter 8a passes the transporter position detector h at the dismounting position 13, the counting of the electric pulse is finished, and the count value at that time is compared with a reference value (the number of pulses corresponding to a predetermined transporter interval), If the reference value <the count value, it is determined that the distance from the preceding carrier 8b is wide, and the inverter motor-driven carrier interval adjusting device 102 arranged in parallel in the arcuate carrier interval adjusting section L12 following the constant speed transfer section L11. Is increased to a predetermined carrier interval. Conversely, if the reference value> the count value, it is determined that the distance from the preceding transporter is narrow, and the forwarding speed is reduced.
[0039]
Further, before the preceding transporter 8b passes the aforementioned transporter position detector i, the subsequent transporter 8a passes through the transporter position detector h at the unloading position 13 and enters the transporter interval adjustment section L12. When the carriages 8 and 8 are transferred and transferred, the control device assumes that the gap between the carriages is extremely shortened, and the preceding carriage 8b passes through the carriage position detector i so that the carriage gap adjustment section L12. At the same time, the transporter interval adjusting device 102 is decelerated to the maximum to widen the distance between the two transporters 8a and 8b as much as possible.
[0040]
Thereafter, when the preceding transporter 8b passes through the constant speed forwarding section L13 and passes through the transporter position detector j provided at the start of the transporter interval adjustment section L14, the preceding transporter 8c passes through the transporter position detector k. The counting of the electric pulse started at the time is finished, the count value is compared with the reference value, and the forward speed is changed by the transporter interval adjusting device 104 arranged in parallel in the transporter interval adjusting section L14. The distance from the carrying device 8c to be adjusted is adjusted to a predetermined carrying device interval.
[0041]
Further, when the transporter 8b passes the transporter position detector k near the end of the transporter interval adjustment section L14, the control device starts counting electric pulses from the rope movement amount detector 106 again, and the subsequent transporter 8a. Counts when the vehicle passes through the carrier position detector j at the beginning of the carrier interval adjustment section L14, and similarly, the magnitude of the count value and the reference value (number of pulses corresponding to a predetermined carrier interval) are compared to compare the carrier interval. The forwarding speed of the adjusting device 104 is changed to maintain a predetermined carrier interval. In this way, the adjustment for setting a predetermined carrier interval one after another is performed on the basis of the carrier 8 that runs forward with the carrier interval adjusting devices 102 and 104 arranged in parallel in the two sections. In addition, the voltage output of the tachogenerator 107 that rotates following the circulating movement of the rope 5 is input to the inverter drivers of the carrier spacing adjusting devices 102 and 104 and the forwarding and transporting device 103, so that the moving speed of the rope 5 is adjusted to the carrier spacing adjusting device. The transporting devices 8 and 8 are forwarded even if the operation speed is switched by causing the transporting speeds of the transporting devices 102 and 104 and the transporting device 103 to follow.
[0042]
Furthermore, the transporter interval adjusting devices 102 and 104 and the forwarding and transporting device 103 are individually equipped with inverter motors for driving, and forward and reverse forwarding driving in units of devices is possible by switching to manual operation. Here, for example, when the two transporters 8, 8 are extremely close to each other and travel in the same section, the respective devices are switched to manual operation, and the single transporter 8 is moved to the adjacent section. The carrier interval adjustment device 102 or 104 independently feeds the carrier 8 so that the carrier interval can be greatly adjusted.
[0043]
Subsequently, at the summit stop 3 described above, the carriers 8, 8,... Are adjusted to a predetermined distance between the transporters, depart and run through the cableway 4 and arrive at the summit stop 2. A method of forward transfer of the transporters 8, 8,... Will be described with reference to FIG.
[0044]
Carryers 8, 8,... Arriving at the foothill stop 2 from the direction of arrow 20 travel along the arrival-side main rail 15a, and at the same time, the grinder 110 unloads the strip 5 and decelerates and transfers while traveling in the decelerating transfer section L1. The device 25 decelerates from the operating speed of the cableway 4 to the forwarding speed at which passengers can get on.
[0045]
Subsequently, when the transporter 8 having reached the transporting speed reaches the transporter interval switching section L2, when the transporter 8 is forwarded to the outer loop rail 17, the transporter interval switching device 27 does not decelerate and the transporter 8 is transported to a predetermined speed. When transported at a speed and passes through the transporter position detector b at the end, the transporter interval switching device 27 becomes a transport speed decelerated from a predetermined transport speed. When the subsequent transporter 8 is forwarded to the inner loop rail 16, the transporter interval switching device 27 transports the transporter 8 at a decelerating forward speed, and passes through the transporter position detector b at the end, so that the transporter interval switching device. 27 again returns to a predetermined forwarding speed. That is, the carrier transporter interval switching device 27 widens the distance between the transporter 8 traveling on the outer loop rail 17 and the subsequent transporter 8 traveling on the inner loop rail 16 in the transporter interval switching section L2. As a result, the distance from the transporter 8 that travels on the outer loop rail 17 next is reduced.
[0046]
When the transporter 8 travels on the inner loop rail 16, the transporter 8 passes through the arrival side switch rail 32 switched to the inner loop rail 16 side and branches to the inner loop rail 16. .. Are transported through the boarding transfer section L8 to the departure side switch rail 33 at a predetermined forward speed, and the skiers 130, 130,... And the direction of travel continues to be turned 180 degrees.
[0047]
On the other hand, when the transporter 8 travels on the outer loop rail 17, the transporter 8 travels through the transporter interval switching section L2 after passing through the decelerating transport section L1 and reaching a predetermined forwarding speed by the decelerating transport device 25. At this time, the transporter interval switching device 27 does not decelerate the transport speed like the transporter 8 that transports and transports the inner loop rail 16, and transports the transporter 8 at a predetermined transport speed.
[0048]
Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the suspender 113 is provided between the pair of claws 89 and 89 that circulate in the direction of the arrow 41 at a speed slower than the forward speed of the transporter 8 as shown in FIG. The arrival side switch rail 32 that has been fitted and locked and switched to the outer loop rail 17 is transferred so that the transporter 8 does not roll. Further, when the transfer of the transporter 8 is switched from the tire transfer / transfer device 31 to the chain transfer / transfer device 28, the claws 89 and 89 are suspended by suspending the suspenders by slowing the circulating speed of the claws 89 and 89 circulating as described above. The impact at the time of contact with 113 is alleviated. When the transporter 8 passes through the transporter position detector c in the chain transfer section L3, the circulating movement speed of the claws 89, 89,... Is increased, and the transport speed is increased and transferred in the constant speed transport section L4. After passing through, the chain transfer section L3 is transferred by controlling the forward speed so that the suspender 113 enters between the original claws 89 and 89 again.
[0049]
Subsequently, the transporter 8 is taken over by the tire forward transfer device 30 and transfers the boarding transfer section L5 in the direction of the arrow 23 perpendicular to the direction of the cableway 4. The passengers (skiers 130, 130,...) Waiting at the outer boarding position 10 provided in the middle of the boarding transfer section L5 board the transporter 8 that passes. Further, the transporter 8 is turned from the arrival side 2a to the departure side 2b.
[0050]
One end of the chain transfer section L6 following the boarding transfer section L5 is connected to the departure side main rail 15b by the departure side switch rail 33. In the chain transfer section L6, a transporter interval adjustment section L7 is defined by transporter position detectors e and f. In the chain transfer section L6, the suspender 113 is inserted between a pair of claws 89 and 89 that move in the direction of arrow 47 as shown in FIG. 8 by the chain transfer transfer device 29 having the same configuration as the chain transfer transfer device 28 described above. Are controlled, locked and forwarded.
[0051]
At this time, based on the point where the transporter 8 traveling on the inner loop rail 16 passes the transporter position detector g, the interval between the transporter 8 and the transporter 8 passing the transporter position detector e of the outer loop rail 17 is replaced with the number of pulses. And measure the difference from the reference value. Then, the circulating speed of the claws 89 and 89 of the chain transfer / transfer device 29 is changed so that the distance between the carrier 8 traveling on the inner loop rail 16 and the predetermined carrier distance is adjusted, and then the carrier 8 detects the carrier position detector f. When it passes, the claws 89 and 89 are returned to their original predetermined speed. And the transporter 8 passes through the departure side switch rail 33 switched to the outer loop rail 17 side, and is forwarded and transferred to the departure side main rail 15b. In the outer loop rail 17, the transporter 8 is forwarded by a forward transport device having different configurations of the chain forward transport device 28 and the tire forward transport device 30, so that it passes through the transporter 8 forwarded by the inner loop rail 16 and the departure side switch rail 33. Thus, there is a slight shift in the distance between the transporters when they join at the departure side main line 15b. That is, the transport speed of the transporter 8 forwarded and transported by the outer loop rail 17 with reference to the transporter 8 transported and transported by the inner loop rail 16 is adjusted in the transporter interval adjustment section L7 of the chain forward transport device 29, and the predetermined transporter Try to be at intervals.
[0052]
Further, in the outer loop rail 17, the transporter 8 once sets the transport speed in the chain transporting section L 3 and the boarding transport section L 5 to the reference transport speed (the inner loop rail 16 once the transporter 8 is transported at a constant speed. The vehicle 8 that travels on the inner loop rail 16 and the outer loop rail 17 are moved by accelerating in the carrier interval adjustment section L7 and being forwarded at a speed that is a predetermined interval after joining the transporter 8 that has traveled. When the traveling transporters 8 join the departure side main rail 15b at the departure side switch rail 33, the risk of collision is reduced.
[0053]
9 (a) to 9 (c) are a carriage (chair-type carrier) 8 with 6 passengers, each of which is a passenger skier 130, 130,... The situation of getting on 8, ... is shown in order. In the drawing, the outer carriers 8A, 8C, 8E marked with “X” in the frame are routed through the outer loop rail 17, and the inner carriers 8B, 8D not marked are routed through the inner loop rail 16.
[0054]

Pass through the outer gate group 12, The approach path 10a is slid toward the outer boarding position 10 so as to follow the outer transporter 8A. Further, the inner transporter 8B traveling in the direction of the arrow 48 along the arrival side main rail 15a following the outer transporter 8A leaves the transporter interval switching device 27, and the subsequent outer transporter 8C is about to enter the transporter interval switching device 27.
[0055]
In FIG. 9 (a), the outer skiers 130, 130,... Slide along the approach path 10a to the vicinity of the outer boarding position 10 by following the outer transporter 8A. At the same time, the inner transporter 8B is branched from the arrival side main rail 15a to the inner loop rail 16 by the arrival side main rail 15a by the tire forward transfer device 31 shown in FIG. The outer transporter 8C following the inner transporter 8B has passed through the transporter interval switching device 27 that has been switched to a predetermined forwarding speed.
[0056]
In FIG. 9 (c), the outer skiers 130, 130,... Slide along the approach path 10a, and almost all of them are gathered at the outer boarding position 10, and the outer transporter 8C moves the arrival side switch rail 32 with an arrow on the chain forward / transfer device 28.

[0062]
In this way, in the present invention, two boarding positions are provided at the stop on the boarding side and the switch rail is interposed between the arrival side and departure side rails so that the carriage passes through each boarding position. Install two loop rails. Thus, after reaching the arrival side rail of the boarding side stop in a line at equal intervals from the cableway line, the carrier decelerated to the forwarding speed is once expanded with the carrier interval switching device, and then the arrival side The switch rails are alternately switched, distributed to the respective loop rails, forwarded and transferred, and after passing through the respective boarding positions, the passengers get on the carriers, and then the original transporter interval is changed with the variable speed transfer device. In such a way, it is forwarded and transferred at different speeds. Similarly, the switch rails on the departure side are alternately switched and merged with the departure side rails, and are again arranged at equal intervals in a row and accelerated to start.
In this way, once the distance between the transporters is increased and the transporters are forwarded and transferred to the respective loop rails, the time required for the transporter to pass through the entry path to one of the boarding positions is compensated for, and the passenger can safely take the position. It is possible to enter the car and get on the transporter, and of course, the boarding position is increased to two places so that the boarding efficiency can be improved, and hence the transportation power can be improved.
【The invention's effect】
In the conventional automatic circulation type cableway, the equipment using a four-seat chair type carrier is the most common. However, an automatic recirculating cableway using a six-seater chair type carrier has also appeared to further increase the transportation capacity.
[0063]
The present invention is an automatic circulation type cableway that uses a chair type carrier with a large number of passengers. The boarding position is set at two places on the boarding side at right angles to the cableway, and the carrier passes through each boarding position. Thus, another semicircular loop rail (outer loop rail) is newly provided outside the conventional semicircular loop rail (inner loop rail). Then, both ends of the two loop rails are connected via a switch rail (point) to the linear arrival-side main rail having a deceleration transfer section and the departure-side main rail having an acceleration transfer section, respectively. And after decelerating the transporters that arrived in a line with the arrival side main line rail, one switch rail is switched, and the two loop rails (the outer loop rail and the inner loop rail) are alternately distributed and forwarded, After the passenger (skier) gets on the carrier at the boarding position set in the movement path of the carrier and the carrier is turned to the departure side, the carrier that has been routed through the two loop rails is connected to the other switch rail (point ) Are alternately switched and merged from the inner loop rail and the outer loop rail to the departure side main rail and arranged again in a line, and accelerated to leave the boarding side stop.
[0064]
In the section of the rail for transporting the above-described transporter, a plurality of tire transporting and transporting devices, a chain transporting and transporting device, and a transporter interval switching device that are driven by an inverter motor so as to be able to shift are arranged side by side on the rail. Now, when a passenger (skier) enters the boarding position of the inner loop rail from the standby position, the transporter that forwards and transfers this approach path to the outer loop rail crosses, so that the passenger (skier) only for that time. The time until the vehicle moves from the standby position to the boarding position and rides on the carrier is reduced. For this purpose, immediately before the carrier is branched to the inner loop rail and the outer loop rail on the arrival side, the transport speed of the transporter that forwards the inner loop rail with the above-mentioned transporter interval switching device is reduced and the outer loop rail is forwarded. Widen the interval to increase the time that passengers (skiers) can enter from the standby position to the boarding position of the inner loop rail, and reduce the risk of passengers coming into the outer loop when entering the boarding position. Yes.
[0065]
Then, after the passenger has boarded at the boarding position, the inner switch rail is delayed by the above-described chain transfer device by the above-mentioned chain forward / transfer device until the other switch rail is alternately switched and joined at the departure side main rail. The forwarding speed is changed so that the distance between the outer loop rail and the carrier that forwards the outer loop rail is a predetermined uniform carrier distance with reference to the forwarder. In this way, the automatic circulation type cableway using a chair-type transporter with a large number of passengers is provided with two boarding positions at the stop and passengers get on the transporter to increase the riding efficiency and improve the transport capacity. In addition, the safety of passengers can be ensured by providing a time margin when passengers enter the boarding position from the standby position.
