  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the entire aerial / water cableway facility, and FIG. 2 is a side view. The aerial / water cableway facility 10 is provided between two land portions 12 and 13 separated by a water area 11 such as the sea, river or lake. Pulleys 14 and 15 are rotatably installed on the land portions 12 and 13, respectively, and a rope 16 is stretched between the pulleys 14 and 15 in an endless manner. In the track between the pulleys 14 and 15, a plurality of columns 17 a and 17 b are erected to support the rope 16. Either one of the pulleys 14 and 15 is connected to a drive device such as a speed reducer or an electric motor. By driving the pulleys 14 or 15, the pulley 14 or 15 rotates, and the rope 16 circulates between the pulleys 14 and 15. Moving. Further, either one of the pulleys 14 or 15 is configured to be movable in a direction parallel to the track, and a rope 16 wound around the pulley 14 or 15 by applying a constant force by a hydraulic cylinder or the like. Is given a certain tension.

  Between the pulleys 14 and 15, the rope 16 is supported by the pillars 17 a standing on the land parts 12 and 13 and the pillars 17 b standing on the water area 11, and a carrier 19 is mounted on the rope 16 at a predetermined interval. Suspended and the carrier 19 moves between the pulleys 14 and 15 as the rope 16 moves. As shown in FIG. 2, in the land portions 12 and 13, the height of the ropes 16 is maintained by the struts 17 a of the land portions 12 and 13 so that the transporter 19 passes a position above the ground surface. In the water area 11, the height of the rope 16 is held by the support column 17 b of the water area 11 so that the lower part of the transporter 19 passes through the water surface.

  FIG. 3 is a front view of the transporter 19. The carrying device 19 includes a gripping machine 20 that grips the rope 16, a suspension machine 21 that extends downward from the gripping machine 20 and suspends a passenger car 22, and a closed passenger car 22 on which a passenger rides. Yes. The passenger car 22 is provided with a seat and the like, and most of the outer wall surface 22a and the bottom surface 22b have a waterproof structure made of a transparent material such as glass. Thereby, the passenger boarded in the passenger car 22 can enjoy the scenery in the air when the transporter 19 moves on the land parts 12 and 13, and when moving on the water area 11, the passenger can see the underwater scenery from the bottom surface 22 b of the passenger car 22. I can enjoy it.

  FIGS. 4 and 5 are a front view and a side view showing the support column 17b of the water body 11 in a simplified manner. The column 17b is provided with two vertical frames 25 standing on a base 24 fixed to the concrete foundation 23 at intervals in a direction parallel to the track, and the column arm 26 is moved vertically between the vertical frames 25. It is prepared freely. The support arm 26 extends to the left and right with respect to the track, and is provided with a rope receiving device 27 that supports the rope 16 at both ends of the support arm 26. A hydraulic cylinder 28 is provided between the central portion of the support arm 26 and the vertical frame 25. By operating this, the support arm 26 or the receiving device 27 moves up and down. From this operation, the height of the rope 16 in the water area 11 can be adjusted.

  6 and 7 are a side view and a front view of the rope receiving device 27, which are configured as follows. A cable bracket 30 is attached to the tip of the support arm 26, and a bracket pin 31 is provided below the cable bracket 30 so as to protrude in the direction of the cable 16. A vertical beam 32 having a quadrangular prism shape extending in the vertical direction is pivotally attached to the tip of the bracket pin 31 so as to be rotatable. An arm support portion 33 is formed at the lower end portion of the vertical beam 32 so as to protrude toward the outside of the track, and a flange 33 a is formed in the vicinity of the root and the tip portion of the arm support portion 33. In addition, an arm support bracket 34 having a shape similar to that of the arm support portion 33 is provided above the vertical beam 32 so as to be movable up and down along the vertical beam 32.

  Four arms 36 are pivotally supported by the flanges 33a via arm pins 35 symmetrically in the vertical and horizontal directions. The arm 36 has a substantially L-shape extending in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction from the vertical beam 32 side in a side view, and the central portion of the two-wheel beam 37 via the two-wheel beam pin 38 at the other end portion in the horizontal direction. Is pivotally supported. Each two-wheel beam 37 is substantially U-shaped in a side view, and rotatably supports a receiving ring 39 at both ends. On the other hand, a spring seat pin 41 is provided above the arm pin 35 of the arm 36 so that the spring seat 40 is pivotally supported so that the spring seat 40 can be pivoted between adjacent upper and lower spring seats 40. Two upper and lower rows of compression springs 42 are interposed therebetween.

  The compression spring 42 is in a compressed state in a state where the receiving ring 39 supports the rope 16. Therefore, when the repulsive force of the compression spring 42 acts on both upper portions of the upper arms 36 and lower portions of the lower arms 36, the two-wheel beam pin 38 side of each arm 36 is pushed down or pushed up, Each receiving ring 39 presses in a state where the rope 16 is sandwiched from above and below. As a result, the rope 16 is firmly engaged with the groove 39a formed on the outer periphery of the receiving ring 39, and is difficult to come off from the receiving ring 39, that is, is difficult to escape. The repulsive force of the compression spring 42 can be adjusted by changing the mounting position of the arm support bracket 34 up and down. That is, as can be understood from FIG. 6, the distance between the upper arm pin 35 and the lower arm pin 35 is reduced by setting the mounting position of the arm support bracket 34 to a lower position, and the compression spring is applied according to the lever principle. 42 is further compressed, and the pressing force of the receiving ring 39 against the rope 16 becomes larger. Conversely, when the mounting position of the arm support bracket 34 is raised, the amount of compression of the compression spring 42 decreases, and the pressing force of the receiving ring 39 against the rope 16 becomes smaller.

  In the above description, the embodiment of the support column 17b standing in the water area 11 and the receiving device 27 provided in the support column 17b has been described. However, in the support column 17a standing on the land portions 12 and 13, The rope receiving device 27 may not be configured to be movable up and down, and the rope receiving device itself preferably uses the rope receiving device 27 configured as described above, but depending on the conditions for forming the track, It is also possible to use a receiving device of a type that is supported only from.

  In the cableway facility of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, when the pulley 16 is moved by rotating the pulley 14 or 15, the carrier 19 suspended on the rope 16 together with the carrier 19 is in the air in the land portions 12 and 13. In the water area 11, the lower part of the passenger car 22 is moved underwater. Therefore, the passenger who boarded the passenger car 22 can appreciate the scenery in the air and the underwater scenery from the bottom surface 22b of the passenger car 22.

  Moreover, since the support column 17b erected in the water body part 11 is configured to be able to adjust the height of the rope 16 in the water body part 11, so that the water body part 11 is the case of the sea, Even if the height of the water surface changes due to the tides, this change can be accommodated. And when the water surface is rough, when the carrier 19 cannot be operated by being submerged in the water area 11, the position of the rope 16 is set high by the support column 17b or the cable receiving device 27, It is also possible to operate so that the transporter 19 moves without contacting the water surface.

  As described above, when the position at which the rope 16 is supported by the support column 17b is changed, the refraction angle of the rope 16 at the position of the support column 17b also changes. In this case, the receiving ring 39 follows the change in the bending angle of the rope 16, so that the rope 16 is supported by pressing the rope 16 from both the upper and lower directions. The rope 16 can be prevented from escaping. Furthermore, since the pressing force of the receiving ring 39 can be adjusted in the rope receiving device 27, the rope 16 can be supported by an appropriate pressing force.
