Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a traveling device for a chair-type carrier that is applied to ski lifts and the like.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional traveling device of this type is shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an endless cable that is guided by pulleys 2 that are horizontally supported at multiple points, and a plurality of carriers 3 are attached to the cable 2 by cable grips 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a drop-off platform provided at the traveling area of the carrier 3, for example near the pulley 2 at the end, and the drop-off platform 5 has a substantially horizontal surface.
Continuing from this, a run-up portion 6 is provided which is inclined gradually lower in the traveling direction of the carrier 3.

In such a traveling device for a chair-type carrier, a passenger who gets on the carrier 3 mounted in the same direction as the running direction of the cable 1 and reaches the alighting platform 5 gets off at the alighting platform 5, and then moves to the run-up section 6. It is necessary to move while changing direction quickly.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, if the speed of moving from the disembarkation platform 5 to the run-up section 6 is delayed, the vacant carriage 3
There are cases where clothes or baggage get caught in parts of the carrier, which can be dangerous. Therefore, the passengers who get off the vehicle must forcefully change direction and quickly escape out of the travel trajectory of the carrier 3 while retaining the inertia of the straight-ahead direction, which makes it difficult for children and women to use the vehicle. be. In particular, when the traveling speed of the carrier 3 is increased and a large number of passengers are carried on the same carrier, the above-mentioned problem becomes more noticeable.

This idea was created by focusing on the conventional problems, and after a passenger gets off at the alighting platform, it is a chair that allows the alighted passenger to easily reach a safe position with respect to the carrier. The purpose of this invention is to provide a traveling device for a type carrier.

[Means for solving problems]

The traveling device for a chair-type carrier according to this invention has a guideway that is inclined gradually increasing from the vicinity of the disembarkation platform to the run-up section in the transport section near the disembarkation platform, and
A guide wheel is provided that is guided by the guideway and tilts these carriers in a direction opposite to the direction in which the cables travel.

[Effect]

The guideway in this design gradually becomes higher from near the disembarkation platform to the run-up section, so the guide wheels guided by this guideway are
During this time, the carrier is gradually and gently tilted backwards.
For this reason, in addition to the fact that the terrain gradually becomes lower from the disembarkation platform to the run-up section, the distance between the lower end of the carriage and the disembarkation platform and the run-up section increases, and the carriage passes over the heads of the passengers who have disembarked. Therefore, passengers getting off the train can easily move outside the run-up section without having to make a major course change in the run-up section.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Note that the same components as those shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a rail-shaped guideway, which is inclined to gradually become higher from the disembarking platform 5 to the run-up section 6, and continues to the run-up section 6.
Near Turn Square 8, it has returned to its original height.
Therefore, this guideway 7 has a gentle arc shape as a whole and is located above the disembarkation platform 5, the run-up section 6, and the U-turn plaza 8, and is located above the cable 1
It is located below. Reference numeral 9 denotes an arm protruding from the rear of each carrier 3, and a guide wheel 10 is rotatably supported at the end of these arms 9.

In this embodiment, the unloading platform 5 is tilted downward by, for example, 8 degrees toward the run-up section, and the run-up section 6 is tilted by 10 degrees toward the U-turn plaza 8. Also, as a matter of course, the guideway 7 is used for the carrier 3 and the rope 1.
be installed in a position that does not interfere with the vehicle's movement.

The guide wheel 10 is provided at a height located between the cable 1 and the entrance end 7a of the guideway 7 so that the guide wheel 10 can ride onto the guideway 7 smoothly. Reference numeral 11 denotes a snow-proof roof that covers the carriage 3 near the drop-off platform 5.

Next, the operation will be described.

Now, when the pulley is being driven and the cable 1 is traveling in the direction of the arrow, the carrier 3 is suspended from the cable 1 and moves approximately vertically. When the carrier 3 approaches the guideway 7, the guide wheel 10 rides on the upper part of the entrance end 7a of the guideway 7. This landing position is set near the rear end of the exit platform 5 (left end in the figure). Since the guideway 7 gradually becomes higher and the distance from the cable 1 becomes narrower, as the carrier 3 continues to travel, the carrier 3 tilts in the opposite direction to the traveling direction, that is, backward. By the beginning of this incline, passengers will have disembarked from their seats. Also, using the original inclination of the seat will make it easier to get off. While tilting in this manner, the carrier 3 reaches its maximum tilt near the end of the drop-off platform and the run-up section. For this reason, the passengers getting off the train can reach a considerably low position near the run-up section, and in addition to the fact that the seats are moved upwards due to the maximum inclination of the carrier 3,
The carrier 3 will run over the head of the alighting passenger. Therefore, even if the alighting passenger moves along the traveling direction of the carrier 3, the carrier 3 will not touch the body or luggage of the alighting passenger, and the passenger can alight at the U-turn plaza with peace of mind.

In the above example, the carriage 3 is tilted using the guideway 7 and the guide wheels 10, so that the carriage passes over the head of the alighting passenger. The same purpose can also be achieved by guiding the cable 1 using a guide pulley or the like so that the cable 1 runs upward.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, a guideway that gradually slopes higher from near the drop-off platform to the run-up part is installed at the traveling part of the carrier near the drop-off platform, and each carrier is guided by the guideway. We installed a guide wheel that tilts these in the opposite direction to the direction of travel, making it easier for passengers to get off the vehicle near the drop-off platform by tilting the carrier, or seat. Even when the vehicle is moved by the vehicle, it is possible to prevent contact between the carrier and the passengers getting off the vehicle, which provides excellent safety. Also,
This effect becomes remarkable when a large number of people are placed on one carrier at the same time, or when the traveling speed of the carrier is increased.
