Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a boarding and alighting structure in an automatic circulation cableway terminal, and more specifically,
This invention relates to the arrangement structure of a boarding and alighting area in a lift terminal that transports passengers mainly wearing skis using chair-type carriers.

Automatic circulation type cableway circulates the cable by stretching it between pulleys installed at the terminals at both ends, and grips the cable with a rope gripping machine with a suspended carrier, and as the cable moves in circulation, It is well known that passengers are transported by moving carriers. and,
Within the terminal, the carrier is guided by rails and pushed forward at a slow speed.During this period, it handles passengers and then takes hold of the cable and departs. They are transported slowly along the route, and during this time they are treated as guests. A plurality of carriers are used and are set to depart one after another at predetermined intervals.

Such automatic circulation cableways include those that use closed passenger cars as carriers and those that use open seat type cableways. The present invention is mainly intended for cases where an open chair type carrier is used.

As a terminal structure for an automatic circulation cableway, there is one shown in FIG. 1, for example, which has been conventionally used.

That is, a pulley 2 is pivotally installed behind the terminal 1, and the cable 3 introduced from the inside of the cableway in the direction of arrow 4a is guided into the terminal 1, wrapped around the periphery of the pulley 2, bent 180 degrees, and then turned back. Arrow 4 again later
It is guided into the cableway line in direction b. The rail 7 extends from the vicinity of the radial point 8 through the point 9, has a U-shaped bent shape in plan view, and is arranged through the point 10 to the vicinity of the gripping point 11. The chain 13 of the transport device 12, which is to transport and push the carrier at a slow speed within the terminal 1, is shown by a dotted line, and after being wound around a sprocket wheel 14 equipped with a drive means, the chain 13 passes through point 9 and passes through the U-shape of the rail 7. It is guided along a path shaped like the arrow 10, returns to the sprocket wheel 14 again through a point 10, and is connected in a ring shape to circulate in the direction of the arrow 15. A deceleration device 16 for decelerating the arriving carrier 6 is installed in the section along the rail 7 from near point 8 to near point 9, and along the rail from near point 10 to near point 11. An acceleration device 17 for accelerating the departing carrier is disposed in the section along line 7.

The carrier 6 grips the cable 3 with the attached rope gripping machine 5, moves in the direction of the arrow 4a as the cable 3 circulates, and enters the terminal 1 from the cableway track. The rope gripping machine 5 roams the cable 3, and the rope grasping machine 5 starts rolling along the rail 7 with rollers. The deceleration device 16 reduces the speed from a speed equal to the traveling speed of the cable 3 to a slow speed. Next, the carrier 6 is slowly transported along the U-shaped rail 7 by the chain 13 of the transport device 12.
In the straight section of the section forwarded by this forwarding device 12, a boarding or alighting point is set, and passengers are treated as getting off or getting on. The carrier 6 further advances and is accelerated from a slow speed to a speed equal to the operating speed of the rope 3 by an accelerator 17 near a point 10, and then grips the rope 3 by a rope gripping machine 5 near a rope gripping point 11. The search begins along the cableway in the direction of arrow 4b.

In addition, the structure of the terminal may also be of the type shown in Figure 2, in which case the pulley 2' is arranged inside the U-shaped turn section of the rail 7'. However, other arrangements and operations are the same.

However, the most important thing in the layout of such a terminal is to provide facilities that make it easy for passengers to board and disembark, so that passengers can board and disembark safely and efficiently. This also prevents empty trains from departing due to missed rides, which is of great benefit to the facility manager.

For this purpose, the easiest method for passengers wearing skis to board or disembark is the so-called straight-on boarding method or straight-on disembarking method, in which the direction of travel of the carrier and the axis of the passenger's approach or exit are aligned. It is said to be a method.

Now, to explain the case of boarding in Fig. 1, a boarding area 18 is set along the straight section on the departure side of the rail 7, which is indicated by crossed or diagonal lines in the drawing, and the boarding area 18 is set along the straight section on the departure side of the rail 7, and the boarding area 18 is set at the rear along the axis extension of the straight section on the departure side of the rail 7. In this case, it is appropriate to set up a guideway 19 shown with diagonal lines in the drawing, and to introduce and guide passengers in the direction of arrow 22. However, in this case, the pulley 2 is pivoted by a shaft 20, and the support 21 supporting the shaft 20 is attached to a relatively large workpiece, such as a steel frame or concrete structure supporting the tension of the cable. Therefore, the taxiway 19 is closer to the taxiway 19.
The area around 9 is narrow and has no room, which is undesirable from the viewpoint of guiding passengers during crowded times. In order to avoid such adverse effects, for example, a method of guiding passengers to the platform 18 from the direction of the arrow 23 can be considered.
In this case, passengers will be forced to make a bend in the axial direction of the straight section of rail 7 just before they enter the landing area 18 and board the train, which will cause traffic jams during busy times and the fall of beginners who are inexperienced with ski operation. This is not desirable from a safety standpoint.

The same applies to the case where the terminal shown in Figure 2 is used.
8', and on the extension of the axis of the straight section on the departure side of rail 7', a taxiway 19' indicated by diagonal lines in the drawing is set at the rear to guide passengers in the direction of arrow 22'. Then, in this case as well, the support body 21' supporting the shaft 20' to which the pulley 2' is pivotally connected is located at the platform 1.
8', the boarding area is narrow and there is not much room.

Here, we have explained the case of boarding, but in the case of disembarking, exactly the same problem occurred in the alighting area and the exiting passenger guideway.

This invention takes into consideration the conventional circumstances,
We aim to eliminate these shortcomings and provide safe and rational terminal equipment or structure that has wide taxiways, boarding and alighting areas, is easy to board and alight, and is not affected by the location of mechanical equipment, etc. It was done with the purpose of

Corresponding to this purpose, the present invention involves circulating a cable in an endless manner between pulleys of terminals at both ends, and using a cable gripping machine with a carrier suspended therein, the cable is suspended at one terminal. The rope is set off near the rope gripping point, and when it arrives at another terminal, the rope is let loose near the rope gripping point, and the rope is sent from the vicinity of the rope gripping point to the terminal. In a terminal of an automatic circulation cableway provided with a rail to guide the carrier to a nearby area, a part of the rail branches outward from the vicinity of the radial point at an acute angle with the center line of the cable. or a straight section that forms an acute angle and merges near the above-mentioned gripping point, with a landing or boarding area for passengers provided along the straight section, and with the rear extension of the axis of the straight section as the center. A taxiway has been established for passengers to
The main idea is the boarding and alighting structure of an automatic circulation cableway terminal that allows passengers to get on and off or get on and off in a straight line.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 3, an arrow 34 is located inside the terminal 31.
The cable 33 introduced in the direction a is guided toward the rear inside the terminal 31, wrapped around the periphery of the pulley 32, turned 180 degrees, and guided again into the cableway in the direction of the arrow 34b.

The rail 37 is arranged along the cable 33 starting near the radio point A, and branches outward from the vicinity of the radio point A at an acute angle α from the route center line of the cable 33. A straight line section 39a is formed from the radial point A to point C via point B. Next, the rail 37 changes direction through a turning section 38 that runs from point C through point D to point E, and furthermore, a straight section 39b is formed that runs from point E through point F and reaches near the gripping point G. The cable 39b is arranged to form an acute angle α with the route center line of the cable 33 and form a route that merges from the outside near the radial point G. After passing through the gripping point G, the rail 37 runs along the cable 33 and ends in the vicinity of the gripping point G. That is, the rail 37 has a substantially approximate horseshoe shape in plan view.

Next, the chain 43 of the feeding device 42 is shown by a dotted line in the figure, and is wound around the sprocket wheel 44 and guided in the direction of the arrow 45, passes around point B, and passes around points C, D, and E of the rail 37. And then F
The chain 43 is introduced into the sprocket wheel 44 again through the vicinity of the point and is connected in an endless manner, and as the sprocket wheel 44 is driven by the power means, the chain 43 is slowly circulated in the direction of the arrow 45. Engaging means, such as a ratchet device, are attached to the chain 43 at predetermined intervals, and the carrier 36 is engaged with the ratchet device and transported.

Along the rail 37 in the section from the vicinity of the wandering point A to the vicinity of the wandering point B, a deceleration device 46 for decelerating the wandering carrier 36 is disposed. Also, along the rail 37 in the section from near point F to near point G, an accelerator 4 is used to accelerate the departing carrier 36.
7 are arranged.

For example, the accelerator 47 shown in FIG. 5 is used. A plurality of tires 61a, 62b, 61c, . . . , 61i are pivotally installed in parallel along the rail 37 from the vicinity of point F to the vicinity of gripping point G. A driving means 63 is connected to the tire 61i located on the farthest departure side, and rotates the tire 61i in the direction of an arrow 64. And belt 62 from tire to tire installed side by side next to each other.
h, 62g, 62f... 62a are used to give respective reduction ratios and wind the transmission, and the tires 61h,
61g, 61f... 61a is driven while being decelerated.

The rope gripping machine 35 with the carrier 36 suspended is connected to the rope gripping machine 3.
The plate 66 is guided by the rail 37 and rolled by the rollers 65a and 65b of 5, and the plate 66 to be pushed is on the upper surface of the rope gripping machine 35.
The wheels come into contact with the tires 61a, 61b, 61c, . . . , 61h one after another, are pushed forward by friction, are accelerated, and advance in the direction of arrow 67.

When using such an accelerator 47, as shown in the diagram near the gripping point G in FIG.
Since the accelerator 47 is along the path of the rail 37, it is necessary to deflect and refract it at an acute angle α in plan view near the gripping point G. Since a V-belt is used to create a "flexible" connection that transmits rotation between adjacent tires, slight deflection bending is allowed in practice and can be constructed without difficulty.

Although the acceleration device 47 has been described above, the deceleration device 46 has the same configuration except that the moving direction of the carrier and the rotating direction of the tires are different.

Next, the passenger guideway and boarding area will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows the case of a terminal 31 mainly used for boarding.

A platform 53b, which is indicated by crossed or diagonal lines in the drawing, is set in the range between point E and point F in the section where the carrier 36 is transported at a slow speed by the transport device 42 described above. Next, the passenger guideway 51 is a straight section 39 of the rail 37.
b, that is, the rear extension line 5 of the axis from point E to point F to point G
The necessary width is set to the left and right with 4 in the center, and the width is set as shown by diagonal lines in the drawing, and passengers are allowed to enter in the direction of arrow 52 and guided. A waiting position 55 indicated by a dotted line indicates a position where passengers who are to board the carrier 36 should temporarily wait.

Straight section 39b of rail 37, that is, point E - point F - G
As mentioned above, the points approach each other at an acute angle α with the route center line of the cable 33, so the guideway 51 also makes an acute angle α with the route center line of the cable 33. It is set as follows.

In the structure of the present invention constructed and arranged in this manner, its operation and method for guiding passengers will be explained.

The carrier 36 that has entered the terminal 31 with the circular movement of the cable 33 from the cableway track is moved around the rope point A by the rope gripping machine 35 and the roller 65a of the rope grasping machine 35. , 65b are mounted on the rail 37. The rail 37 is connected to the cable 3 near the starting point of the arrangement.
It is parallel to the route center line of 3, but the radial point A
From the vicinity of the point, it forms an acute angle α and is gently deflected and refracted from the center line of the route of the cable 33 and is directed away from the cable 33, so the carrier 36 also moves away from the cable 33 toward point B. do. Further, a deceleration device 46 is disposed in this section, and the carrier 36 is decelerated from a speed equal to the speed of the cable 33 to a slow speed.

Next, the carrier 36 moves from near point B to the transport device 42.
B along the rail 37 by the chain 43 of
From point C to point C, the vehicle is slowly transported through the turning section 38 from point C to point D to point E, and then turns around. Next, the carrier 36 is slowly transported toward point F along a route that is a straight section 39b of the rail 37, forms an acute angle α with the route center line of the cable 33, and gradually approaches this.

On the other hand, passengers are guided from the direction of the arrow 52 on the taxiway 51, which is set with the necessary width around the rear extension line 54 of the axis line from point E to point F to point G, that is, the straight section 39b. The vehicle is made to wait at a waiting position 55 for a while until it is appropriate to enter the vehicle. That is,
In the illustration, only one carrier 36 is shown to avoid clutter, but in reality, multiple carriers enter one after another at predetermined intervals in the same motion as described above, and the preceding carrier is now When the vehicle is traveling between points D and E on the rail 37, it crosses the area of the taxiway 51 and obstructs the passenger route, so it is made to wait at the waiting position 55. The leading carrier is E
After proceeding forward from the point, transfer passengers to platform 53b.
, then proceed straight ahead. On the other hand, the following carriers on which passengers are to board are placed along the rail 37 at points C, D, and
The vehicle advances to point E and advances to the platform 53b from behind the passengers who have entered, so the passengers sit on it and board the vehicle. After the carrier carrying the passenger is transported at a slow speed to point F, it is accelerated from near point F to a speed equal to the speed of rope 33 by an accelerator 47, and grips rope 33 near point G. Search and set out on the cableway.

The above has been explained for the case of boarding, but in the case of terminal 31' for disembarking, terminal 4
Shown in the figure.

In this case as well, the straight section 39a' of the rail 37' that forms an acute angle α' with the route center line of the cable 33', that is, from point A' to
A landing area 53a' is provided between points B' and C', and a landing area 53a' is provided between points B' and C'. Also point A′~
A guideway 51' is set with a required width centered on an extension line 54' of the axis between points B' and C'.

In this case, the carrier that has arrived at the terminal 31' and wandered is decelerated by the deceleration device 46' between points A' and B' and is pushed to the chain 43' of the forwarding device 42'.
Passengers proceed at a slow speed through the landing area 53a' between points B' and C', get off the vehicle, ski down the snowy surface, and proceed straight ahead of the conveyance they have boarded, heading down the taxiway 51'. It skies in the direction of arrow 52' and exits from terminal 31'.

In addition, in the case shown in Fig. 6, the pulley 32'' is connected to the rail 3.
This figure shows an embodiment at the boarding terminal 31'' when the terminal 31'' is installed inside the turning section 38'' of the rail 37''. ″E″ point ~ F″ point ~

The vehicle is arranged to board the carriage 36'' at the platform 53b''. Similarly, in the case of a terminal for disembarkation, a taxiway may be provided on the arrival side.

As described above, the configuration and operation are such that a straight section of the rail that recedes from or approaches the cable route centerline at an acute angle is provided, a passenger boarding place or alighting point is provided along the straight section, and the straight section The effects of using the structure of the present invention in which a passenger guideway is provided centered on the rearward extension of the axis of the vehicle are as follows.

As is clear from Figures 3 and 4, taxiway 5
1 or 51' and the support 4 of the pulley 32 or 32'
1 or 41', a sufficient distance 56 or 56' is ensured, making it possible to provide a guideway with plenty of room. In addition, there is a recent trend toward carriers with a capacity of three or more people, but in this case too, the taxiway needs to be widened so that three or more passengers can enter side by side. It becomes possible.

In addition, with the structure of the present invention, passengers do not have to change direction just before boarding or disembarking the vehicle or in the middle of the taxiway, so the flow of passengers is smooth, and there is no risk of confusion even when there are many passengers. There is no. Furthermore, in the case of disembarkation, since the guideway 51' is sufficiently separated from the support body 41', it is possible to prevent an accident in which a novice passenger or the like who alights from the vehicle miscontrols the direction of the slide and collides with the support body 41'.

Even in the case of the arrangement of the terminal as shown in FIG. 6, since there is a sufficient distance between the landing area or the landing area and the support, safe boarding and alighting can be carried out with sufficient margin.

In addition, in the description of the embodiments in this specification, the case of an automatic circulation cableway for transporting passengers wearing skis is described, and the effects of the present invention are particularly effective in the case of a cableway for transporting ski passengers. However, even when used in the case of a cableway for the purpose of general passenger transportation, it is possible to provide a comfortable guideway and a boarding/disembarkation area.
