[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rail on which a carrier arranged in a stop of a cableway travels, and a branching device of the cableway for the carrier to travel from one track to another track.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 At the stop of the automatic circulation type cableway, the carrier that released the rope during the business hours is accelerated and decelerated for passengers getting on and off and transferred at a low speed, and the main rail track is used after the business is closed or after repairs. There is a side rail for storing the carrier, and a branching device is provided to switchably connect between them.

Examples of conventional branching devices include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-68965, “Double-rolling device for rails of suspension type transportation machines” and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-84770, “Automatic circulating cableway branching device”. Has been proposed and is currently being implemented.

Although not shown in the figure, the former device is one in which a branch rail is oscillated up and down by using a parallel link mechanism so as to switch the rail on which the carrier travels. There is a problem that a step must be provided between the rails that are connected to enable the passage of the gripping rope, which is a component, and therefore the movable rails have an inclined structure and smooth rolling of the carrier cannot be performed. It was The latter utility model has been proposed to solve this problem, and the summary thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 is a plan view of a conventional branching device 70. The fixed rail 72 and the fixed rail 73 are connected by a linear movable rail 71 so that the carrier can pass therethrough. The other fixed rail 73 and the fixed rail 74 are connected by a curved movable rail 75 so that the carrier can pass therethrough. It will be possible.

Among these, the linear movable rail 71 pivots in the horizontal direction around the hinge pin 76a, and also swings in the vertical direction around the hinge pin 76b. Next, on the linear movable rail 71, an operation lever 77 is fixedly extended in a straight line in plan view from the vicinity pivotally attached by the hinge pin 76a toward the lower right side in the drawing. A bracket 78 is fixedly extended from the side surface of the linear movable rail 71, and an eye bolt 79 is fixed to the bracket 78. Therefore, the bracket 78 and the eyebolt 79 as well as the linear movable rail 71 pivot about the hinge pin 76a in the directions of arrow 87 or 88.

Next, the curved movable rail 75 is fixed to the edge of the plate 75c, and the plate 75c is pivotally attached to the hinge post 81 so as to be vertically swingable. Next, after fastening one end of the wire rope 80 to the eyebolt 79 on the side of the linear movable rail 71, the wire rope 80 is extended toward the side of the curved movable rail 75 and wound around a pulley 82 locked to the hinge post 81 to obtain about 90. After bending once, the other end side is fastened to the plate 75c. Thus, when the linear movable rail 71 is at the separation position 71b shown by the solid line, sometimes the curved movable rail 75 is located at the connection position 75a shown by the solid line, and on the contrary, the linear movable rail 71 is connected at the connection position shown by the two-dot chain line. When in the position 71a, the curved movable rail 75 is in the separated position 75b indicated by the chain double-dashed line.

The length of the wire rope 80 is adjusted so that the linear movable rail 71 and the curved movable rail 75 have the above-described relationship. Next, FIG. 18 shows the relationship between the guide frame 84 and the operation lever 77. On the lower surface of the fixed rail 72, a guide frame 84 framed in a horizontally long rectangular shape using a rectangular pipe material is fixedly suspended by a suspender 83. A sliding plate 85 made of a low friction material such as resin is attached to the upper member of the guide frame 84. The operation space of the linear movable rail 71 is defined by penetrating the operation lever 77 fixedly extended from the linear movable rail 71 into a concave space surrounded by the guide frame 84 and a part of the sliding plate 85. To

An operation procedure when a staff member performs the switching operation of the branching device 70 having the above-described structure or configuration will be described below. First, in the front view of the guide frame 84 shown in FIG. 18, the clerk at the connecting position 71a pulls down the operation lever 77 fixedly extending from the linear movable rail 71 from the position 77a in the direction of the arrow 89 and moving to the position 77b. To By this operation, the tip end side of the linear movable rail 71 is flipped upward and separated from the guides 73a and 73a attached to the front end portion of the fixed rail 73. By this operation, the linear movable rail 71 can be horizontally swung around the hinge pin 76a. Next, the worker turns the operating lever 77 in the direction of the arrow 87 while abutting the operating lever 77 against the sliding plate 85, and horizontally turns to the position 77d through the position 77c indicated by the chain double-dashed line.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 17, the linear movable rail 71 is at the separation position 71b shown by the solid line. Furthermore, the clerk moves the operation lever 77 from the position 77d in the direction of the arrow 90 to the position 77e. In this position, the operating lever 77 abuts the adjusting bolt 86 provided on the guide frame 84, and the linear movable rail 71 becomes the separating position 71b, and the position is determined. The eyebolt 79 fixed to the bracket 78 is also rotated in the direction of arrow 87 about the hinge pin 76a by the operation of the staff member. This turning motion is transmitted by being turned up and down by the pulley 82 by the wire rope 80, and the curved movable rail 75 is fixed from the separating position 75b shown by the two-dot chain line to the connecting position 75a shown by the solid line. The rail 73 and the fixed rail 74 are connected to allow passage of the carrier.

On the contrary, when connecting the fixed rail 72 and the fixed rail 73 with the linear movable rail 71, the operation lever 77 is swung downward from the position 77e to the position 77d, and then the sliding plate 85 is attached. While contacting, it turns horizontally through position 77c to position 77b. Further, if the position 77a is moved upward from the position 77b to the position 77a, the linear movable rail 71 becomes the connecting position 71a of the chain double-dashed line shown in FIG. 17, and the fixed rail 72 and the fixed rail 73 are connected. Further, similarly to the case described above, this operation is transmitted by the wire rope 80 to bring the curved movable rail 75 to the separating position 75b shown by the chain double-dashed line.

[Action]

 The automatic branching device of the present invention comprises a first linear movable rail and a second curved movable rail. Further, the two movable rails are connected by a wire rope which is a connecting member so that the movement of the first linear movable rail and the movement of the second curved movable rail are mutually transmitted. Therefore, the first linear movable rail and the second curvilinear movable rail do not come to the connecting position at the same time.

The swinging motion of the first linear movable rail in the vertical direction and the swinging motion in the horizontal direction are independently performed using a hydraulic jack and a hydraulic cylinder that are actuators. Further, the swinging movement in the horizontal direction is transmitted to the second curved movable rail by the wire rope to perform the swinging movement in the vertical direction.

In this way Switching operation of the automatic branching device is performed by the hydraulic jack, hydraulic cylinder and wire rope. Further, when the supply of the pressure oil to the hydraulic jack and the hydraulic cylinder becomes impossible, the switching operation can be manually performed by the operation lever fixedly extended to the first linear movable rail.
