Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a rope-towed suspension transportation facility for suspending and transporting a carrier on a rail or rope elevated in the air.

As a transportation facility for operating a suspension type vehicle or a carrier along an elevated rail or line in the air, a transportation facility such as a suspension type monorail or a cableway is known. As is well known, the suspension type monorail is a system in which a traveling machine that suspends a passenger car is self-propelled along a rigid rigid track, and transport is performed.The traveling track has a curved section and a straight section. Although it is possible to set them in any combination, the driving force for traveling depends on the frictional force between the tires of the traveling machine and the rails, and therefore the traveling gradient is limited. On the other hand, the cableway can be set steep on the operation line because it is transported by pulling the carrier with a rope, but if you want to provide a curve in the plane direction, you need complicated bending equipment. There is a drawback that

Conventionally, the following transportation facilities are known as transportation facilities that complement the disadvantages of the monorail and cableway. In this transportation facility, running girders are installed in a loop between the stops at both ends, and a plurality of vehicles circulate along the running girders. Along the traveling girder, ropes are circulated endlessly, and by driving the ropes, the vehicle is towed by the ropes and moves between the stops. The vehicle includes a vehicle main body for accommodating passengers, luggage, etc., a traveling wheel mechanism for suspending the vehicle main body and equipped with wheels for traveling a traveling girder, and a rope provided on an upper portion of the traveling wheel mechanism. And a gripping device for striking and releasing. The vehicle grips the rope in the railroad track and moves with the rope, releases the rope at the stop, and moves in the stop by the linear motor drive instead. With such a configuration, in this transportation facility, a plurality of vehicles are arranged at regular intervals in the track, and the vehicles are circulated between the stops for transportation (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The above-mentioned transportation facility is suitable for mass transportation because it can transport goods and passengers continuously by a plurality of vehicles. However, in the above-mentioned transportation facility, it is necessary to provide a device for gripping and releasing the gripping machine of the vehicle and a facility of the linear motor at the stop, and the gripping machine provided in the vehicle also enables the gripping and releasing. Therefore, the mechanism is complicated, and the equipment is expensive as a whole. In addition, recently, there is a demand for using a suspended transportation facility for small-volume transportation such as personal use, instead of mass transportation like the above-mentioned transportation facility.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cord-towed suspension type transportation facility which can be reduced in price due to its compact structure and which is suitable for transporting a small amount.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pulley provided at two stopes, a rope wound endlessly between the pulleys, and two ropes stretched in the track. A traveling rail laid between the stops at a position outside one of the ropes, and a carrying device that moves along the traveling rail, wherein the carrying device travels along the traveling rail. And a suspension machine suspended on the traveling machine so as to be swingable back and forth in the traveling direction, and a passenger car suspended under the suspension machine, and the traveling machine is provided on the side of the traveling machine. It is characterized in that a gripping machine for gripping the cord is provided, and the suspension machine is hung on a side opposite to the gripping machine.

Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rope-pulling suspension transportation facility suitable for transporting a small amount with a simple configuration.
