JPH02123086A - Lifting device for viewing - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a lifting device for viewing applicable on a dangerous place such as a precipitous cliff by installing two oblong viewing cars which are guided on two guide rails lowering slant or directly below through upper double-guide wheels and lifts up and down alternatively through the steel wires of a winding drum so as to change at a double track area in the center. CONSTITUTION:When a winding drum begins to totate, an upper viewing car 20 is lowered by gravitation and a lower viewing car 25 begins to go up. The viewing car 20 reaches a branch point, however, is guided by a track branch device 29 keeping inclining toward the cliff side, and enters a guide track groove 31 on the opposite side of the cliff and reaches the middle position of a location 33. Next, the viewing car 25 keeps going up, pushes down the branch device 29 toward the opposite side of a cliff, passes through it and reaches an upper stopping position. Then the viewing car 25 is guided by a groove 28 and the viewing car 20 is also guided by a groove 31. This action is repeated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a viewing lifting device that can be applied to steep slopes, compression, etc. Most of the conventional elevators for viewing are for viewing at high places, and most of them are of the vertical R type with one type of elevator. Similarly, there are cable cars, ropeways, etc., which are not necessarily for pure viewing, but are used as means of transportation.
') -, / l-su and so on. 1) Type II is a completely vertical lifting method, whereas the latter is for slope or horizontal use, with a maximum slope of 40 degrees, and slopes up to 100 degrees can be lifted or lowered by steep slopes or vertical. could not be used. However, steep slopes that are difficult to reach on foot are often more interesting for viewing (in environments surrounded by the sea, such as Japan's 4th century, coastal production areas, so-called cliff scenery, etc.) are often more interesting as tourist attractions. It is also desired to develop such a system, and a method thereof has been sought.Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a viewing elevator that can be adapted to such places.

To explain the present invention using figures, FIG.
They are a side view, an IF plane view, and a partial cross-sectional view of an example lowering device. In other words, from the machine room 2 of starting point 1 to the foundation 4.5 of ground 3 on the cliff, there are three consecutive constructions starting from the -Jx section with three different names: gentle slope, steep slope, and vertical. Two guide tracks6.7
are facing parallel and connecting the top and bottom. The orbital spacing of this guide track is maintained constant, and the track cross section is U-shaped with the open groove facing inward as shown in the first open plan partial cross-sectional view. During this time, guide rails 8, 9, ] 01 are placed in the groove facing the upper position in the inclined part and the left and right positions in the vertical part.
11, and is fitted with guide wheels 14 and 15 that rotate freely around a vehicle suspension fulcrum shaft 13 that passes through the upper part of the oblong Ferris wheel body 12 shown in FIG. This fit is designed to allow play so that the guides on both sides of the guide wheel do not separate from both guide rails, and the inner ring contacts only one guide rail. There is a double track section 16, 17 for passing vehicles at the intermediate point from the starting point to the landing point of the opposing guide track. As shown in Fig. 2, which is an enlarged view of the double-track section viewed from the inside of one side 17, there is a branch point 18 of the guide track opening groove on the upper side, and one confluence point on the lower side, and the middle part is a horizontally long view of two parts. The tracks are double-tracked at intervals that allow cars to pass each other. A plurality of left and right steel cables wrapped around the winding machine drum in the machine room 2 of the starting point 1 have one end attached to the fulcrum shaft for suspending the car body of the oblong Ferris wheel 20 in the upper stop position, as shown in the car body diagram of Fig. 3. At the solid line positions 23.24 of the variable angle fasteners 21.22 on both sides of 13,
The other end is fixed to the dotted line position 26 and 27 of the variable angle fastener of the oblong Ferris wheel 25 in the lower stop position. The steel cable to the oblong Ferris wheel 25 in this lower stopping position is connected to one side of the double track section (
It passes through the guide raceway groove 28 (left side in FIGS. 1 and 2).

The two track turnouts maintain the state in which the oblong Ferris wheel 20, which is at the upper stop position, is pushed down to the left, that is, to one side, and passed by its own weight around the fulcrum 30. When the winding machine motor is powered on and the winding drum begins to rotate, the second section Ferris wheel 20 descends due to gravity, and the lower Ferris wheel 25 begins to rise. The upper Ferris wheel 20 reaches a turning point, but the track turnout 2
Since one remains on one side, it is guided by it and enters the guide track groove 31 on the opposite side of the cliff and reaches the midpoint of position 32. Further, the lower Ferris wheel 25 rises and reaches the confluence point, but as the steel cables are pulled up toward the guide track groove 28, the variable angle fasteners on both sides of the car body also tilt from directly above, and are guided by it to enter the guide track groove 28 and reach the midpoint of position 33. reach. The Ferris wheel 25 further rises, pushes down the track turnout 29 to the opposite side of the cliff, passes through it, and reaches the -I partial stop position. The Ferris wheel 20 also descends and reaches the lower stop position. During the next descent, the Ferris wheel 25 is guided by the same one-sided guide track vortex 28, and the Ferris wheel 20 is similarly guided by the cliff and the opposite guide track groove 31, and this process is repeated.

At this time, in order to avoid wear and the like, the steel cable descending -L comes into contact with a guide roll 34 provided at the bottom surface or at a protruding point within the guide raceway groove, so that it can be smoothly raised and lowered.

As described above, the viewing lifting device according to the present invention has a simple structure because the foundations for starting and landing are strong, and there is no need for difficult construction work on one side and no damage to one side. Furthermore, the landing point foundation does not necessarily have to be on land and may be in the water. Therefore, it is possible to provide a new tourist resource with scenery that could not previously be seen except by boat.
