Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a platform device for a boarding / alighting place in cableway equipment using a circular carrier.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cableway equipment is a transportation equipment that operates a carrier along a line stretched at an elevated position, but since it operates from a high place above the ground, it is a tourist facility for enjoying the view. It also has the function of. Especially when you are in a terrain with a wide view of the surrounding area,
It is preferable to use a rotary carrier that can fully enjoy the view of 60 degrees. The structure of such a carrier has already been proposed by "Rotary carrier in suspended transportation facility" filed on Dec. 28, 1992 by the same applicant as this application. Further, even when the carrier is not of a rotary type, there are cases where it is desired to adopt a fixed circular carrier as a design suitable for tourism.

[0003]

When a conventional platform is used in the case of using such a rotary type or fixed type circular carrier, a space is formed between the circular carrier and the linear platform, There is an adverse effect such as a safety problem at the feet of passengers getting on and off.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of providing an arc platform device for a cableway that can be suitably used when a circular carrier is used.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention operates a transporter which rolls a support line stretched at an elevated position and is towed by a tug to transport the transporter to the transporter. In a cableway facility using a circular carrier, at least a part of the platform on which a passenger should get on and off is a movable platform that is slidable in the forward and backward directions of the circular carrier, and the movable platform has an arc shape that substantially fits the circular carrier. It is configured as a cableway arc platform device which is provided with a shock absorber between the movable platform and the fixed position while forming a recess.

[0006]

The arc platform device for a cableway according to the present invention is applied to a cableway stop such as a crossover type in which a rotary type or a fixed type circular carrier is reciprocated by stretching a supporting line and a towline. Is. The platform consists of a fixed platform part and, at least in part, a sliding platform part. The fixed platform has a base part and two side parts arranged in a substantially "U" shape in plan view, and the movable platform has an arcuate recessed part at the front part that substantially conforms to the outer shape of the circular carrier. I did it,
It is guided by a guide rail in a fixed position and can slide back and forth. In addition, a shock absorbing spring is interposed as a shock absorbing device between the fixed position and the movable platform. A step plate is used to close the gap formed between the fixed platform and the movable platform as the movable platform slides back and forth. Also,
Carryer guide rails extend from both sides of the fixed platform and extend forward, respectively.

When a rotary or fixed circular carrier moves along the cableway line and approaches a stop, it is decelerated from full speed to slow speed to a slight speed, first in the area between the two carrier guide rails. If there is a rolling sway of the carrying device, it will be corrected here. Further, when the circular carrier enters the platform at a very low speed and reaches a predetermined stop position, the operation of the cableway is stopped, and the circular carrier is almost fitted inside the arcuate recess of the sliding platform and stopped. When the circular carrier stops due to inertial force when the circular carrier stops and the circular carrier abuts the arcuate recess of the sliding platform and exerts a pressing force on the sliding platform, the sliding platform moves to the guide rail. Along the backward movement, the buffer spring is compressed and buffers.

In this way, when the pressing force of the circular carrier and the elastic force of the buffer spring are in equilibrium, the circular carrier stops without a space between the circular carrier and the arcuate recess of the sliding platform, and passengers can get on and off safely. it can.

The slider members 68, 68 or 68, 68 are portions for contacting the below-described carrier guide rails 30 or 30 provided to prevent the rolling rocking that occurs when the circular carrier 50 travels on the cableway line. is there.

Next, the configuration of the circular arc platform device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. Figure 1
2 is a plan view of the arc platform device 1, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is a side view showing a partial cross-sectional view of the circular arc platform device 1, and FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the relationship between the sliding platform 6 of the circular arc platform device 1 and the guide rails 12, 12.

The platform of the circular arc platform device 1 is roughly classified into a fixed platform 2 portion,
At least a part of the movable platform 6 is used. First of all, the fixed platform 2
The base portion 3 and the side portions 4 and 5 extending from the base portion 3 in the direction of the cableway in the shape of both sleeves are integrally formed, and are formed in a substantially "U" shape in a plan view. In a crossover cableway, usually, both reciprocating lines are laid in parallel so that two carriers are operated alternately, and Fig. 1 shows one of the carriers. On the right side of the part indicated by the broken line on the right side of the drawing width of 1, a device having the same configuration and function as those shown in this drawing is arranged in parallel, but the illustration is omitted.

The movable platform 6 is a plate-like body or a frame-like body having a tread surface for passengers formed on the upper surface thereof, and an arcuate concave portion 9 is formed at the front end thereof. As will be described later, the circular concave portion 9 is a portion where the circular carrier 50 is substantially fitted therein and should be inserted and stopped. And movable platform 6
Rollers 10, 10, 10, 10 are provided on the lower surface of the shaft 11 or 11 ... And bracket 11a or 11a.
Is pivoted through. On the other hand, groove-shaped guide rails 12 or 12 that are open in the horizontal direction are provided in parallel at the fixed position. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the side portions 4 and 5 of the fixed platform 2 are mounted on the guide rail 1 via the brackets 13, 13 or 13, 13, respectively.
2 or 12 is fixed in parallel with the forward and backward direction of movement of the carrier, and the rollers 10, 10 or 10, 10 are rollably engaged in the groove of the guide rail 12 or 12. Therefore, the movable platform 6 is
It is guided by the guide rails 12 or 12 by the rolling of 0, 10, and 10 and slidable in the direction of the arrow 31 or 32.

Next, as a shock absorber between the rear end of the movable platform 6 and the base portion 3 of the fixed platform 2 in the fixed position, in this embodiment, a compression spring 20 is used. 20 and 20 are inserted in between, and as will be described later, the shock is absorbed when the circular carrier 50 comes into contact with the sliding platform 6 when it arrives.

Further, in order to close the gap 21 formed between the base 3 of the fixed platform 2 and the movable platform 6 so that the movable platform 6 can slide back and forth, one end serves as a hinge and the tip is a free end. Is provided with a step plate 25. That is, the step plate 25 is pivotally mounted via the hinges 26, 26 provided in the vicinity of the base portion 3 of the fixed platform 2 so as to allow some vertical rotation about the hinges 26, 26. The leading end side of the is mounted on the upper surface of the movable platform 6 so as to be able to contact and slide.

Next, near the tips of the side portions 4 and 5 of the fixed platform 2, the carrier guide rails 3 are respectively provided.
Cableway line 4 with 0 or 30 fixed and the free end
The cantilever extends in two directions. This is provided in order to suppress the swing when the carrier is rolling and swinging due to wind pressure load or the like in the cableway line and gradually converging it to the center and guiding it into the stop. Further, fences 27 or 28 are fixedly installed on the side portions 4 and 5 of the fixed platform 2 in order to prevent passengers from falling.

In the arcuate platform device for a cableway constructed as described above, the operation or action of the device will be described below.

As described above, the rotary type circular carrier 50 is used as the carrier, and the traveling wheels 52, 52 ... And 52, 52 of the traveling machine 51 support the ropes 40, 40.
It rolls over and is towed by tow lines 41, 41 to make a round trip in the cableway line. A suspension unit 53 is pivotally suspended from the traveling unit 51, and a suspension main column 55 is further connected to the traveling unit 51 for suspension. A rotation support frame 56 is fixed to the lower portion of the suspension unit 53.
The rotary support frame 56 is provided with a rotary support and drive mechanism 57, which supports the passenger car 60 by rollers 58, 58, ... And swings around the suspended main column 55 as an axis. In this way, the passenger car 60 makes a turn while operating on the cableway line, and passengers can view the surrounding area while staying.

When the circular carrier 50 approaches the stop, the operating speed is gradually decelerated from full speed to slow speed to a slight speed, similar to the operation mode normally used. Further, in the case of the circular carrier 50 in the present embodiment, since the passenger car 60 makes a turning motion, the positions of the doors 65, 65 of the passenger car 60 are set to the traveling direction of the circular carrier 50 before the arrival at the stop. Alternatively, the movable platform 6 is stopped in the direction of the arrow 32, and is stopped in conformity with the direction of the arcuate recess 9 of the movable platform 6.

On the other hand, the circular carrier 50 which has thus approached the arc platform device 1 at the stop in the direction of the arrow 32,
First, the posture is corrected by the carrier guide rails 30 or 30 extending from the side portions 4 and 5 of the fixed platform 2, respectively. That is, not only the circular carrier 50 but also a cable carrier in general, there may be some rolling oscillation due to wind pressure load in the cableway line. Here, slider members 68, 68 and 68, 68 which are fixed to the left and right of the circular carrier 50 and are non-rotating parts
Is abutted against the carrier guide rails 30 or 30 of the fixed platform 2 and the distance between the carrier guide rails 30 and 30 is arranged to become gradually narrower in the direction of the arrow 32. , Circular carrier 50
The posture is gradually corrected and converges to a state of drooping in the center. This point is basically the same as the method of correcting the posture of the carrier, which is performed in a normal crossover cableway.

In this way, the circular carrier 50 moves at a slight speed in the area sandwiched between the side portions 4 and 5 of the fixed platform 2. Next, when the operation of the cableway is stopped at a predetermined stop position as in the case of a normal crossover cableway, the circular carrier 50 is moved to the arcuate recess 9 of the sliding platform 6 accordingly. It will stop at a fixed position that almost matches the inner area. As mentioned above, the circular carrier 50 enters at a very low speed,
When stopped, the inertial force causes a little pitching swing in the direction of arrow 31 or 32. At this time, the swinging direction causes swinging and sticking around the periphery of the rotary support frame 56 which is a non-rotating portion of the circular carrier 50. The cushioning member 69 made of a vibration-proof rubber material or the like comes into contact with the arc-shaped recess 9, and thus the impact at the time of stopping is mitigated.

Next, cushioning springs 20, 20, 20 are interposed between the movable platform 6 and the base 3 of the fixed platform 2 as cushioning devices, and the movable platform 6 has brackets 11a, 11a, 11a ,.
Rollers 10 or 10, which are pivotally attached to shafts 11, 11, 11, 11 respectively supported by 11a, engage with guide rails 12 or 12 in a fixed position to roll, and are slidable in the front-rear direction. ing. If for some reason, the pitching swing of the circular carrier 50 at the time of stop is large and the pressing force for contacting the movable platform 6 is large, the movable platform 6 moves backward along the guide rails 12, 12 in the direction of the arrow 32, The buffer springs 20, 20, 20 are compressed, and the circular carrier 5 is driven by the elastic force of the buffer springs 20, 20, 20.
Stop and stop the upset of 0. Thus, the circular carrier 50
The circular carrier 50 is stopped by the balance between the pressing force of 1 and the elastic force of the buffer springs 20, 20, 20.

Incidentally, the gap 21 between the movable platform 6 and the base portion 3 of the fixed platform 2 is enlarged or reduced as the movable platform 6 is slid forward and backward, but the step plate 25 is used for this. We are dealing with it. That is, the base 3 of the fixed platform 2
The step plate 25, which is pivotally attached to the hinges 26, 26 with the free end of which is slidably mounted on the tread surface of the sliding platform 6, has a gap 21 even when the movable platform 6 moves.
To protect passengers' walking surfaces.

After that, the doors 65, 65 of the circular carrier 50
The door is opened and used for passengers getting on and off. The arcuate recess 9 of the sliding platform 6 is the passenger car 6 of the circular carrier 50.
The passengers can get on and off safely because the vehicle stops at 0 without any gap.

(Embodiment 2) Next, this embodiment relates to a case where a fixed circular carrier 150 is used as a carrier, and in this case, the arc platform device 1 can be effectively utilized. .

The circular carrier 150 in this embodiment is basically the same as the conventional cableway carrier except that the passenger car is circular. That is, a suspension machine is pivotally mounted and suspended on the lower part of the traveling machine that is guided by the support lines to roll, and a circular passenger car 160 is fixedly suspended on the suspension machine.
FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the floors 167 and 167 of the passenger car 160 and their vicinity. A structure 163 is provided around the periphery of the passenger car 160, and floor surfaces 167 and 167, which are the treads of the passengers, are circular in shape. Round carrier 150 or passenger car 16
Double doors 165a, 1 in the front-rear direction
65a and doors 165b and 165b are 180 degrees from each other,
It is installed in the opposite direction. This is a circular carrier 15
Since 0 is not a rotary carrier, one of the doors 165a, 165
a is used when the circular carrier 150 runs forward on the cableway and is used for passengers getting on and off at one stop, and the other doors 165b and 165b are used for the circular carrier 150.
This is because it is used when the cableway runs backwards and is used for passengers getting on and off at the other stop. Also in this case, the circular carrier 150 is attached to the structure 163 as in the case of the above embodiment.
Slider members 168, 168 and 1 are provided on the left and right in the traveling direction.
68 and 168 are fixedly provided and are used to correct the posture of the carrier when entering the stop.

The fixed type circular carrier 150 having such a structure
When arriving at the circular arc platform device 1 of the present invention by operating the vehicle, it operates and functions exactly the same as in the case of the first embodiment except for the matter related to the stop of the rotation of the passenger car, and can be effectively used.

[Effects of the Invention] The cableway facility not only functions as a transportation facility, but also has the character of a tourist facility, but it is possible to see a 360-degree view while passengers are present in a particularly excellent location. It is preferable to use a rotary type circular carrier.
In addition to this, there are cases where it is desired to use fixed-type circular carriers, but if conventional type stop platforms are applied to these circular carriers, circular carriers or passenger cars and linear platforms will not fit. , There was a gap between them and there was a safety issue for passengers getting on and off.

In the arc platform device of the present invention, the movable platform is formed with the arc-shaped recess, and the circular carrier substantially fits the arc-shaped recess and stops.
Since there is no gap between them, the safety of the feet when passengers get on and off is ensured. Further, since the movable platform is movable along the guide rails in the forward and backward direction of travel of the circular carrier and is equipped with a buffer device such as a buffer spring, the circular platform causes pitching rocking to cause the movable platform to move. Even if they come into contact with each other, the impact is alleviated and the swing of the circular carrier is stopped.

As described above, by applying the arc platform device for a cableway according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a safe landing device for cableway equipment using a circular carrier, which cannot be handled by a conventional platform for getting on and off. .
