Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a systemized announcement system especially for mountain tourist areas such as lifts and gondolas and ski resorts, and is used to notify passengers getting on and off by saying "Please wait" or "Please move forward." Please get on,""We're nearing the drop-off area, so please raise the tips of your skis."
Or, "I hope you don't forget anything..."
In addition, for the attendants, the operation of the equipment, mainly malfunctions, etc., are notified in a pre-recorded language voice in response to each input command, making it extremely effective to guide passengers on boarding and alighting and improve operational management. Regarding the system equipment that was developed.

It is common knowledge that in recent years, as living areas have improved and the home environment has become richer and the range of life has expanded, people's attention has turned to leisure. For this reason, the increase in the leisure population related to the present application is particularly noticeable in mountain tourist areas during the tourist season, and is further accelerated by the promotion of the gorgeous atmosphere of the ski slopes at ski resorts in the winter. It is steadily increasing year by year with the popularity of . Therefore,
On the other hand, for the tourist resort facilities and ski resorts in various regions that accept this, a major challenge is how to handle a large number of passengers safely and smoothly in a short period of time.

However, currently, facilities operators at tourist destinations and ski resorts use red and green lights, which are similar to traffic lights, to guide passengers alternately, or use chimes in combination to guide large numbers of passengers. It is difficult to convey the operation status of the drive equipment, and to indicate the operation of the drive equipment, it is necessary to rely on a collective lamp display, or to install a lamp on the graphic panel and use a buzzer to warn by flickering the lamp. was normal.

In addition to this state of equipment, as we move to new high-speed models to accommodate the recent increase in passengers, the number of safety devices will inevitably increase, and especially when there are many detection items such as gondola lifts, the intuitive It was extremely difficult to identify the problem, and there were many problems that needed to be addressed.

In view of the above-mentioned reasons, this invention is an extremely innovative audio system for cableway equipment that announces detailed guidance language programmed to deal with each item by the sensing operation of sensors placed at appropriate locations. The purpose is to create and provide guidance system equipment.

An embodiment of the audio guidance system equipment of the present invention will be described below with reference to a diagram of the simplest two-seater high-speed ski lift that can be easily understood. Figure 1 is a connection diagram showing the electrical concept of this system installed at the tension-driven stop (boarding area) at the foot of the mountain, and shows two items: a passenger guidance sensor,
It is equipped with six items of drive section sensors. Figure 2 shows one item of passenger guidance sensors installed at the arrival stop (drop off) on the mountaintop side. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the passenger guidance sensor installed in the boarding area.

The voice guidance system equipment for passengers and carriers according to the present invention will be further explained in Figs. I will explain in detail.

In the case of passenger guidance, the installed sensors S1 and S2 are activated when the sensor at a location that comes into contact with the carrier as the carrier rotates senses an electrical signal. That is, the sensor S2 senses and operates when the carriage approaches the stop line D, and transmits a verbal guidance saying "Please wait." During this time, the passengers who were waiting near the stop line D sit on the carriage C1 that is rotating in advance and depart, and when the following carriage C2 passes the sensor S1, a message saying "Please move forward and board the vehicle" is sent to the passenger. Passenger A, who was waiting at waiting line E, was given voice guidance via passenger speaker SP2.
The system was configured to provide audio guidance so that the vehicle could move forward on its own and reach the landing stop line D, sit on the following carrier C2 that was chasing after it after a little delay, and then depart. To smoothly transport passengers to their destination.

Voice system in the operating section (see Figure 1) Of the systems connected in a system, sensor S3 is for oil pressure detection, and is activated by sensing a lack of oil pressure in the emergency brake. The output of this sensor S3 is immediately input to the input terminal 3X of the sequencer SE, and its output becomes the output terminal 3Y as shown in the figure, which issues an emergency stop command (not shown) to the control circuit and switches the one-time/repeat notification switch SW. The circuit that is input to the input terminal 3X and repeatedly switched to the notification circuit is outputted from the output terminal 3Y,
It is input to 3 of the speech synthesis amplifier SN. The voice synthesis amplifier SN is a type of synthesizer using an IC memory, and when it receives an input signal, it immediately outputs "Emergency braking oil pressure insufficient", "...", "......" in a pre-recorded language that is generally understandable. A playback sound will be emitted, and the voice notification will be repeated until the command is cancelled. Note that this warning sound can be stopped when the operation of the sensor S3 returns to normal or by turning off the alarm sound. Furthermore, even if the passenger guidance sensors S1 and S2 are transmitting messages, each sensor S3, S4, S5, and
6, S7, S8, etc. are activated and an emergency stop is required, the operation of the emergency stop circuit is notified by priority through the speaker SP1 of the drive section. However, in this case, the passenger's speaker SP2 will automatically announce the message ``Please wait for a while,'' or if it is done manually, the staff will notify that fact using the microphone MC. In addition, the operating equipment sequencer SE is
It is a control device that applies electronics and calculation technology and operates according to programming that has the function of executing each item according to a sequence control or arithmetic control program. is normally included in the sequencer SE, but is illustrated separately for better understanding of the explanation. Incidentally, if the sensors S1 and S2 are arranged in such a way that the sensor S1 is activated first and then the sensor S2 is activated after a preset time, then only one sensor is required.

According to the present invention, which has such a system configuration, a large number of passengers in a crowded queue can smoothly communicate the operation status of the transport vehicle and the boarding status of the first passenger because it is clearly communicated in language. The vehicle can be departed with peace of mind, and the equipment operator can respond accurately and operate extremely safely without being confused by the verbal audio notification.

As described above, the present invention is designed to help relieve frustration and psychological anxiety while waiting for a ride, in a time when the current trend is to increase the speed of transport vehicles. It works extremely effectively and can handle a large number of passengers efficiently and smoothly, and has remarkable practicality and an extremely meaningful contribution.
