Description

The present invention relates to an air-conditioned carriage for a cableway.

Cableway equipment is a transport facility that suspends carriers on ropes suspended in the air to transport personnel and goods, and is often used as a means of transportation for personnel on mountain slopes and for skiers and snowboarders at ski resorts. It is In addition, since cableway facilities do not require the laying of rails on the ground like railroads, etc., and require less land for the tracks, they have come to be used as a means of public transportation in urban areas, especially overseas. there is

Thus, when operating cableway facilities that operate closed-type carriers such as gondola lifts and ropeways in urban areas, etc., it is desirable to equip each carrier with an air conditioner in order to improve the comfort of passengers. However, as is well known in the past, in cableway facilities, it is difficult to supply power to carriages that move on the railroad tracks, and it has been difficult to equip each carriage with an air conditioner that consumes a large amount of power.

For this reason, the following techniques have been proposed and implemented in the past. One example of this technique is to form a carrier group consisting of a plurality of carriers, and to have a plurality of carrier groups and operate them together with the circulating movement of the cable. One of the carriages in the carriage group is a power supply carriage equipped with a power source, and the other carriages are passenger carriages on which passengers ride. Each passenger carriage is equipped with an air conditioning system, and power is supplied from the power supply carriage to each passenger carriage via a power supply cable to air-condition the passenger carriage (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As another example, a space for equipment is formed in the upper part of the passenger car, isolated from the space for passengers, and a gas turbine engine and a generator are installed here, and an air conditioner driven by this is provided to air-condition the space for passengers. (See Patent Document 2, for example).

When the carrier is equipped with an air conditioner, there is a problem of how to treat the condensed water generated when the air conditioner is operated. That is, when a cableway facility is operated in an urban area or the like, since the carriage passes over the road or the like, if the condensed water generated by the air conditioner is discharged as it is, it will cause inconvenience to people and vehicles below. In order to address this problem, the cableway facility described in Patent Document 2 guides the condensed water to the exhaust pipe or the intake pipe of the gas turbine engine so that the waste water is sprayed into the air.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a single-line automatic circulation type cableway will be described as a representative example of the cableway facility. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a single-line automatic circulation cableway. A single track automatic circulation type cableway 10 has a stop 11 and a stop 12 at the end of the track, and each of the stops 11 and 12 has a driving pulley 13 and a driven pulley 14 rotatably. A cable 15 is wound endlessly around the driving pulley 13 and the driven pulley 14, and by rotating the driving pulley 13, the cable 15 circulates and moves between the stops 11 and 12. . A plurality of carriages 18 are suspended from the cable 15 at predetermined intervals in the track.

The carriage 18 is detachable from the cable 15, is attached to the cable 15 and moves with the cable 15 on the track, and is separated from the cable 15 within the stations 11 and 12. - 特許庁A U-shaped running rail 16 and a running rail 17 are laid at the stops 11 and 12, respectively. move to First, the carrier 18 arriving at the stops 11 and 12 is separated from the rope 15, transferred to the running rails 16 and 17, and decelerated by the transfer device provided along the running rails 16 and 17. When the carrier 18 decelerates to a speed at which passengers can get on and off, it turns back to the departure side in the stops 11 and 12 while maintaining that speed, and passengers get on and off during this time. After being accelerated to the same speed as the speed of the cable 15, the carrier 18 that has turned back to the departure side is attached to the cable 15 and detached from the running rails 16 and 17 and departs into the track.
