Abstract

PURPOSE: To keep the inside of a car in a proper temperature in the case where a car type carriage is used in cableway equipment. CONSTITUTION: A stationary cable 15 separated along a cable for operating a transporter with cableway equipment is spread in a cableway line. Next, a power wheel 9 in contact with the stationary cable is pivoted to a suspension machine 3 hanging a passenger coach 7, and a generator 11 and a flywheel 12 are pivotally connected together via a fluid coupling 10 as a power generating means. In addition, an air-conditioning unit 14 is installed in the passenger coach. Thus, when the transporter is operated, the power wheel 9 contacting with the stationary cable 15 is rotated, and this rotation is transmitted to the generator 11 and the flywheel 12 via the fluid coupling 10, therefore the generator 11 rotates, and the generated electric power is fed to the air-conditioning unit 14, so this unit 14 is operated. At that time, a rotational variation is eased by the fluid coupling 10 and the flywheel 12 and thereby the generator 11 is stably rotated, whereby constant electric power is made so as to be fed to the air-conditioning unit 14.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to cableway equipment, and more particularly to a cableway-carrying vehicle carrier equipped with an air-conditioning system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cableway facilities are mainly used for transporting tourists and skiers on mountain slopes. It is difficult for cableway equipment to supply electric power to each carrier suspended on the rope like railroad equipment such as a train, and therefore air conditioning equipment is not provided, and passenger car type carryrs have hot interiors in the summer and cold winters. That environment has been accepted. However, cableway facilities are evaluated as being cheaper in construction cost than other transportation means, and are attracting attention as general transportation means for relatively short distances and small amount transportation. However, when the cableway equipment is introduced as a daily transportation system, it is inevitable that the riding comfort and comfort equivalent to those of other transportation systems are required.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an air conditioning unit for maintaining the inside of a passenger car at an appropriate temperature required for a passenger car carrier of the above-mentioned cableway equipment in each carrier and supplies power for driving it. To provide a device or structure.

[0004]

To solve this problem, the present invention relates to a cableway facility for suspending and transporting a carrier on a cable line suspended in a cableway line for transporting the cableway. A suspension line stretched along the power line, a power wheel rotatably attached to a suspension unit of the carrier at a position in contact with the stationary line, a power generation unit axially connected to the power wheel, and a suspension unit suspended from the suspension unit. The passenger car is equipped with an air conditioning unit, and power is supplied from the power generation means to the air conditioning unit.

[0005]

[Function] Passenger car transporters move at high speed by grabbing the ropes that circulate in the cableway, and at the stops at both ends, the ropes are released and transported at a low speed to allow passengers to get on and off. It is often used in automatic circulation cableways that are carried out, and in crossover cableways in which a traveling machine of a carrier is towed by another rope that moves cyclically on a fixed and stretched strut to alternate back and forth. .

In the case of one of the above-mentioned automatic circulation type ropeways, an independent stationary rope is stretched along the rope, in addition to the rope gripped by the gripping machine of the carrier. Next, the transporter is configured by pivotally attaching a suspension machine to the above-described gripping machine for gripping the circulatingly moving rope, and suspending the passenger car through the suspension metal fittings.

A suspension wheel, one end of which is pivotally attached to the gripping machine having the above-mentioned structure, is provided with a power wheel that comes into contact with a stationary rope and rotates as the carrier moves, and further, a fluid coupling as power generation means. The generator and flywheel are axially connected via. Next,
The ceiling of the passenger car will be equipped with an air conditioning unit. In this way, when the carrier operates at high speed in the cableway, the power wheel rotates in contact with the stationary line at a rotation speed proportional to the relative speed between the stationary line and the carrier. Next, the rotation of the power wheels is transmitted to the generator and the flywheel via the fluid coupling that is configured as the power generation means, so that electric power is generated in the generator. The air conditioning unit is operated by supplying power to the air conditioning unit provided on the passenger car side.

At this time, the carrier swings in the traveling direction, or rotation caused by a relative speed fluctuation between the carrier and a stationary rope that occurs when passing through a support column equipped with a rope receiving device in the cableway line. A certain amount of power is supplied to the air conditioning unit by mitigating fluctuations and stably rotating the generator.

Although the above is applied to the automatic circulation type cableway, it is of course applicable to other cableway equipment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a front view of a transporter 1 equipped with air conditioning equipment, which is moving in a cableway. A strut arm 30 extends horizontally on a strut 31 erected in the cableway,
Four-wheel receiving devices 20, 20 are symmetrically attached to both ends. The structure of the rope receiving device 20 is as shown in the side view of FIG. 2, and first, two ropes 21 and 21 are pivotally attached to the two-wheel beam 22 so as to be rotatable by shafts 24 and 24. To do. Next, two sets of two-wheel beams 22, 2
2 is further pivotally attached to both ends of the four-wheel beam 23 so as to be vertically swingable. Further, the four-wheel beam 23 pivotally attached to the two-wheel beams 22 and 22 is provided with a center pin 28 at the center to support the bracket 2.
5 is pivotally pivoted. The rope receiving device 20 constructed in this manner is sandwiched between the rope receiving bracket 25 and the pressing plates 26, 26 to the end of the column arm 30, and is pressure-bonded and fixed by the bolts 27, 27, .... Although the structure of the four-wheeled rope receiving device 20 has been described above, a rope-bearing device composed of two to eight-wheeled ropes of the same structure is erected in the cableway line according to the bending angle of the rope 40. The rope 40 that is attached to the above-mentioned strut and cyclically moves in the cableway line is received from below or pressured from above to guide the support.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cord 40
Separately, the stationary rope 15 is stretched over the cableway line. A support arm 32 is fixedly extended from the middle of the support column 31 in parallel with the support arm 30. Then, a carrier guide 33 is provided at the tip of the support arm 32, and another portion for supporting the stationary rope 15 is provided at a portion corresponding to a lower portion along a straight line of the receiving wheel 21 pivotally attached to the rope receiving device 20. The receiving wheel 34 is rotatably pivoted.

Next, the structure of the carrier 1 has the above-mentioned cord 40.
A suspension machine 3 formed by curving hollow square steel is pivotally attached to a gripping machine 2 for gripping the vehicle so as to be swingable in the traveling direction of the carrier 1. Further, a suspending metal 5 is pivotally attached to the lower end of the suspending machine 3 by a suspending pin 5 so as to be swingable in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the carrier 1, and the suspending metal 6, 6 or 6 is used for the suspending metal 4. A small passenger car 7 with a capacity of 4 to 8 people in a closed box shape is suspended at four places. In this way, the carrier 1 is mainly composed of the gripping machine 2, the suspension machine 3 and the passenger car 7.

Next, the structure relating to the air conditioning equipment of the present invention will be described. A power wheel 9 is pivotally attached to the suspension machine 3 at an intermediate position between the gripping machine 2 and the passenger car 7 so as to be vertically rotatable. further,
A generator 11 is axially attached to a drive shaft 13 of the power wheel 9 via a fluid coupling 10. Separately from this, the flywheel 12 is fitted to the drive shaft 13 on the opposite side of the power wheel 9 with the suspension 3 interposed therebetween. In this manner, the suspension wheel 3 is provided with the power wheel 9, the fluid coupling 10 as the power generation means 8, the generator 11 and the flywheel 12.
Are arranged on the same axis of the drive shaft 13 and are in contact with each other. Next, the suspension machine 3 is equipped with an air conditioning unit 14 on the ceiling of the passenger car 7 suspended by the suspension fittings 4. Further, electric wires for supplying electric power from the power generation means 8 on the suspension machine 3 side to the air conditioning unit 14 on the passenger car 17 side are connected.

In this way, when the gripping machine 2 of the carrier 1 having the above-mentioned structure grips the rope 40 and moves at high speed in the cableway line, the power wheel 9 rotatably pivotally attached to the suspension machine 3 is provided. Is line 4
Along with 0, it rotates at a rotational speed proportional to the traveling speed of the carrier 1 while contacting the stationary rope 15 stretched independently. In this way, when the power wheel 9 is rotated by the movement of the carrier 1, the power wheel 9 is transmitted to the generator 11 and the flywheel 12 via the fluid coupling 10. As a result, the generator 11 generates electric power, and at the same time, the inertia of the flywheel 12 keeps the rotation. In addition, it also has a buffering function in cooperation with the fluid coupling 10 described above to prevent abrupt rotation fluctuations of the power wheels 9 from being transmitted to the generator 11.

Next, as shown in FIG.
When the stationary rope 15 hangs down by its own weight while passing through a place other than 1, the rope guide 33 and the receiving ring 3 provided at the tip end portion of the support arm 32 extended from the middle portion of the support column 31.
By being movably supported by 4 and 4, excessive running resistance due to the stationary rope 15 of the carrier 1 is reduced.

In this way, relative speed fluctuations between the carrier 1 and the stationary rope 15 due to the carrier 1 swinging by the wind while moving in the cableway line or swinging when passing through the strut receiving device of the support. Even if the rotation of the power wheels 9 fluctuates, the flywheel 12 and the fluid coupling 10 alleviate the fluctuations and rotate the generator 11 at a constant speed to provide stable electric power to the air conditioning unit 14 of the passenger car 7.
Supply to Thus, in the present invention, each carrier 1, 1,
Independently of the power generation means 8, 8, ... and the air conditioning unit 14,
14 ... are provided to perform air conditioning in the passenger cars 7, 7 ,.

In this embodiment, the case of a single-track automatic circulation type cableway is described, but similarly, it can be used also in the case of a double-type single-line automatic circulation type cableway using two ropes for suspending a carrier. Of course.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a case where the air conditioning equipment of the present invention is applied to a crossover cableway. The carrier 50 is configured such that a suspension machine 52 is pivotally mounted on a traveling machine 51, and a large passenger car 53 having a capacity of more than 100 is suspended from the suspension machine 52. In the suspension unit 52, a power wheel 56 that comes into contact with the stationary rope 60 is pivotally attached to the suspension unit 52 in the same manner as in the case of the carrier 1 of the automatic circulation type cableway, the power generating means 54 is axially attached, and the ceiling of the passenger car 53 is attached. An air conditioning unit 55 is provided. In this way, when the traveling machine 51 travels on the support lines 57, 57 which are the fixed lines supported by the saddle 58 of the support column 59 and the carrier 50 is operated, it is stretched along the support lines 57, 57. The power wheels 56 in contact with the stationary rope 60 are rotated to generate electric power in the power generation means 54, and the electric power is supplied to the air conditioning unit 55 to perform the operation.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] First, in addition to a line in which a carrier is operated, a single static line is stretched along the line in the line. Next, a power wheel is rotatably pivoted at a position in contact with the above-mentioned stationary rope on the suspension machine of the carrier, and a fluid coupling, a generator and a fly are provided as power generation means on the same axis as the power wheel. Axle the wheels. In this way, the rotation of the power wheels is transmitted to the generator and the flywheel via the fluid coupling. Separately from this, an air conditioning unit is installed on the ceiling of the passenger car suspended by a suspension machine.

In this way, when the carrier is operated at a high speed in the cableway line, the driving wheels in contact with the stationary rope rotate due to the frictional force due to the driving movement of the carrier. This rotation is performed by rotating the generator through the fluid coupling to generate electric power and supplying power to the air conditioning unit on the passenger car side. At the same time, the flywheel fitted to the drive shaft on the generator side also rotates, which causes the carrier to sway due to the wind while moving along the cableway line, and speed fluctuations when passing through the rope receiving device of the prop. Even if the rotation fluctuates, the fluid coupling and the flywheel alleviate the fluctuations in rotation, and the generator is rotated at a constant rotation speed, so that stable power is supplied to the air conditioning unit on the passenger car side. In addition, damage to the generator body can be prevented by reducing the rotation fluctuation. In this way, by providing the power generation means and the air conditioning unit for each transporter to perform air conditioning in the passenger car, electric equipment for transmitting power to the cableway is unnecessary, and construction costs can be reduced. Further, when carrying out maintenance and inspection of the air conditioning equipment, only the relevant carrier can be extracted and carried out, so that there is an effect that it is not necessary to suspend the cableway equipment for maintenance and inspection.
