Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assistance system in loading and/or unloading passengers on board cars of a transport installation in which the cars move at substantially constant speed at regular intervals along a closed circuit.
  • a large number of transport installations of the type referred to above are used in towns or in ski resorts to constitute people movers, or on public premises to constitute amusement rides, for example of vertical Ferris wheel type with suspended cars.
  • the cars used in these installations defined by what supports the passengers, can take different forms according to the applications, gondola cars, telpher cars or open cabins, or even capsules in the case of an amusement ride of Ferris wheel type.
  • the cars move at substantially constant speed at regular intervals along a closed circuit by means of a hauling rope which may also be a carrying rope, or by the fact that the capsules are engaged on a rotating structure for the case of an amusement ride of Ferris wheel type.
  • These installations comprise at least one platform arranged along the closed circuit to allow the passengers to embark on board the cars and/or to alight from the latter.
  • the loading and unloading operations remain the most delicate in the sense that the passenger or group of passengers presents a speed differential that has to be compensated almost instantaneously.
  • the speed differential has to be limited to a threshold value of 0.3 m/s.
  • a threshold value of 0.3 m/s.
  • the object of the invention consists in providing an assistance system for loading and/or unloading passengers on board cars of an installation that enhances the passengers' safety and comfort during the loading and unloading operations without constituting a limitation of the carrying capacity of the installation.
  • the system according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises:
  • Such a loading and/or unloading assistance system enables each of the loading and unloading operations on board the cars of the installation to be performed in two steps: a first type of transfer enables the passengers to go to and fro between the loading and/or unloading area of the system and the vehicles of the system, and a second type of transfer enables the passengers to go to and fro between the vehicles of the system and the cars of the installation.
  • the two types of transfer can be performed in a variable order, according to the operation to be performed at the level of the cars (loading or unloading). Splitting the loading and unloading operations into two successive transfers enables a first speed differential to be associated with the first type of transfer and a second speed differential to be associated with the second type of transfer.
  • the second transfer between the cars of the installation and the vehicles of the assistance system is performed maintaining a speed differential that is substantially equal to zero, whatever the speed of movement of the cars along the closed circuit.
  • a speed differential that is substantially equal to zero, whatever the speed of movement of the cars along the closed circuit.
  • safety of the passengers during the second type of transfer is total.
  • Possible risks for the passengers are therefore transferred to the first type of transfer between the vehicles of the system and the loading and/or unloading area of the system.
  • a value lower than or equal to 0.3 m/s, ideally equal to zero simply has to be assigned to the first transfer, by suitable design of the assistance system.
  • the assistance system therefore guarantees optimal safety for the loading and unloading operations on board the cars independently from the speed of movement of the cars.
  • the assistance system in this way enables the transport installation to be operated with a high hourly throughput with a substantially faster speed of movement of the cars than the prior art, for example greater than or equal to 0.5 m/s, while at the same time providing enhanced safety for the loading and unloading operations on board the cars.
  • the assistance system enables each operation to be split into a first transfer (vehicle-loading and/or unloading area) where the speed differential is for example lower than or equal to 0.3 m/s, and a second transfer (vehicle-car) where the speed differential is substantially zero.
  • the means for coupling the vehicles to the rope are formed by fixed attachment grips supported by the vehicles, and the loading and/or unloading area comprises a transfer walkway having a path that coincides with the path of the vehicles in the second section.
  • FIG. 1 represents a transport equipment in top view comprising an example of an assistance system according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 represents a rear view of the bottom part of the equipment of FIG. 1 , in a vertical cross-sectional plane A-A visible in FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of the bottom part of the equipment of FIG. 1 , in the cross-sectional plane A-A,
  • FIG. 4 is a detailed view of the left part of FIG. 3 .
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate an alternative embodiment in which the vehicles are modified.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate a transport equipment for passengers P composed mainly of a transport installation 10 conveying cars C in closed circuit, a loading assistance system 11 for loading on board cars C and an unloading assistance system 12 .
  • transport installation 10 is formed by an amusement ride of Ferris wheel type where cars C, formed by capsules, are suspended.
  • Installation 10 implements a circular central structure 13 rotating around a horizontal axis D fixedly maintained at a distance from the ground.
  • Cars C are attached to the periphery of structure 13 by means of a link enabling cars C to keep their horizontality.
  • transport installation 10 ensures homogeneous movement of the whole set of cars C. More precisely, cars C move at substantially constant speed (equal to multiplication of the radius of structure 13 by the angular speed of rotation of structure 13 ) at regular intervals. During this movement, cars C exert a circular translational movement. This results in cars C all moving along one and the same fictitious closed circuit of circular shape, the closed circuit corresponding to the circular path of cars C during a complete rotation of structure 13 .
  • Transport installation 10 is equipped at the bottom part thereof, i.e. near the ground on which structure 13 rests, with two independent systems 11 , 12 respectively for assisting passengers P to embark on board cars C of installation 10 and for assisting them in alighting from cars C for previously embarked passengers P.
  • Assistance systems 11 and 12 are arranged on each side of the vertical plane X of central structure 13 to maintain a one-way flow of passengers P within the transport installation. Due to the symmetry of design of systems 11 and 12 , only the loading assistance system 11 will be described in detail.
  • Loading assistance system 11 comprises a rope 14 arranged in a closed loop passing at the ends in two bull-wheels 15 a , 15 b horizontally offset in a direction parallel to the vertical plane X. Bull-wheels 15 a , 15 b are respectively driving and loose.
  • An electric motor M ensures continuous rotation of bull-wheel 15 a in a single rotation direction by means of a countergear and a speed reducer. Electric motor M associated with reducer, countergear and low-speed and high-speed shafts constitute drive means of rope 14 moving rope 14 in a one-way running movement.
  • Each strand of rope 14 a strand corresponding to the part of rope 14 stretched between bull-wheels 15 a , 15 b , constitutes a substantially straight track for one-way running of vehicles V continuously coupled to rope 14 at regular intervals.
  • the spacing between two successive vehicles V is therefore constant, being chosen to constitute a stagger equal to a multiple of the interval between cars C of installation 10 .
  • the interval between two successive vehicles V is equal to the interval between two cars C.
  • the offset between the vertical plane X and the line passing via the centers of bull-wheels 15 a , 15 b , included in the plane A-A, is adjusted so that the strand of rope 14 nearer to structure 13 constitutes a first section T 1 of rope 14 arranged tangentially to a section of the closed circuit along which cars C move.
  • the direction of running of rope 14 is chosen such that vehicles V running on first section T 1 move (arrow F 1 of FIG. 1 ) in the same direction as cars C (arrow F 2 of FIG. 1 ).
  • First section T 1 therefore constitutes a one-way running track tangent to the closed circuit of cars C along which vehicles V move in the same direction as cars C.
  • first section T 1 After they have run on first section T 1 , vehicles V return in the opposite direction on the parallel one-way running track constituted by the opposite strand of rope 14 .
  • a loading area 16 of passengers P on board vehicles V is arranged along the running track opposite to first section T 1 .
  • the part of this track contiguous to loading area 16 constitutes a second section T 2 of rope 14 characterized by its arrangement along area 16 .
  • Vehicles V are constantly coupled to rope 14 by means of fixed attachment grips 17 ( FIG. 4 ) supported by vehicles V.
  • loose bull-wheel 15 b is associated with an adjustment mechanism 18 for adjusting the tension of rope 14 using for example a counterweight or actuation of a hydraulic jack.
  • at least one of vehicles V comprises adjustment means (not shown) of the perimeter of the closed loop formed by rope 14 .
  • one possibility to form rope 14 in a closed loop consists in fixing a head at each free end before shaping of rope 14 is performed, and in then fixing the two heads onto a joining part securedly affixed to one of the vehicles V.
  • the adjustment means are then achieved by the fact that the joining part comprises means for adjusting the distance between the fixing areas of the heads.
  • the driving means of rope 14 are associated with means (not shown) for servo-controlling of the speed of running of rope 14 according to the speed of movement of cars C.
  • the servo-control means are designed to continuously position each vehicle V running on first section T 1 in a position adjacent to a car C. The adjacent position corresponds to a relative configuration of vehicle V with respect to car C such that vehicle V and car C are facing one another in a direction perpendicular to vertical plane X.
  • Such servo-control means can be integrated in a control unit (not shown) controlling electric motor M according to signals received from first presence sensors performing detection of cars C and from second presence sensors detecting vehicles V.
  • area 16 comprises a transfer walkway 19 having a path coinciding with the path of vehicles V in second section T 2 .
  • coinciding means a relative configuration of vehicle V with respect to transfer walkway 19 such that vehicle V and walkway 19 are side by side in a direction perpendicular to vertical plane X.
  • each vehicle V comprises a carriage 20 running on a running track 21 in a closed loop and a platform 22 securedly affixed to the corresponding carriage 20 by securing means.
  • Running track 21 is arranged parallel to rope 14 over the whole length of rope 14 to guide vehicles V during movement of the latter.
  • running track 21 serves the purpose of supporting the whole weight of each vehicle V, so that the only function assigned to running rope 14 is to perform driving of vehicles V.
  • Transport installation 10 being an amusement ride of Ferris wheel type with suspended cars C
  • the fictitious closed circuit along which cars C move presents a circular shape comprised in a vertical plane coinciding with the vertical mid-plane X of structure 13 .
  • the section of closed circuit along which first section T 1 is tangentially arranged thus presents the shape of an arc of a circle comprised in the vertical plane X.
  • the part of running track 21 bordering first section T 1 of rope 14 presents the shape of an arc of a circle comprised in a vertical plane Z parallel to vertical plane X.
  • a first solution results from securing means between carriage 20 and platform 22 that comprise means for orienting platform 22 with respect to carriage 20 according to at least one axis of rotation and means for automatically maintaining the trim of platform 22 by pivoting around said axis of rotation.
  • the mechanism for automatically maintaining the trim of platform 22 ensures that the position of platform 22 is kept horizontal to the ground whatever the angular orientation of carriage 20 with respect to platform 22 around the axis of rotation.
  • FIG. 2 A second solution is represented in FIG. 2 .
  • each carriage 20 On one side of a vertical mid-plane including its direction of movement, each carriage 20 is equipped with a first wheel 23 a and a second wheel 24 a offset in the direction of movement of carriage 20 .
  • Running track 21 comprises two independent guide rails 25 a , 26 a .
  • Guide rail 25 a receives first wheel 23 a to ensure running and guiding of the latter, and guide rail 26 a receives second wheel 24 a to ensure running and guiding of the latter.
  • Rails 25 a , 26 a occupy a relative position, in the vertical plane, designed to keep carriage 20 horizontal whatever its position along running track 21 .
  • each carriage 20 is equipped with a second pair of first and second wheels 23 b , 24 b offset in the direction of movement of carriage 20 and running in two independent guide rails 25 b , 26 b belonging to running track 21 and presenting the same characteristics as rails 25 a , 26 a .
  • rails 25 a , 25 b , 26 a , 26 b are all coplanar and horizontal to ensure guiding of vehicle V in a horizontal plane.
  • Each vehicle V is equipped with a retractable sill 27 varying by means of actuating means (not shown) between an extended position salient from vehicle V, occupied at least on first section T 1 so as to at least partly fill the gap between vehicle V and adjacent car C, and a retracted position housed in vehicle V.
  • Actuation of retractable sill 27 can be scheduled during movement on second section T 2 , up to the extended position or an intermediate position between the extended and retracted positions, in order to partially or totally fill the gap between vehicle V and transfer walkway 19 .
  • Any suitable actuating means can be used, for example an electric motor or a solution by piston.
  • Loading a passenger P on board a car C of transport installation 10 takes place in the following manner: in a first stage, the passenger previously-on the platform of loading area 16 moves to place himself (arrow F 3 of FIG. 1 ) on transfer walkway 19 of area 16 .
  • This operation in the course of which a speed differential exists between passenger P and transfer walkway 19 does not present any risk due to the fact that transfer walkway 19 is moving in the direction in which passenger P is moving.
  • the speed of transfer walkway 19 is for example adjusted so as to be equal to the speed of movement of vehicles V along second section T 2 .
  • Such a variant enables a speed differential equal to zero to be maintained during the first transfer of passenger P from loading area 16 to vehicle V, for enhanced safety.
  • Vehicle V on board which passenger P has embarked is then driven at constant speed by rope 14 while at the same time being guided by running track 21 .
  • the servo-control means associated with the drive means of rope 14 guarantee that vehicle V automatically moves to occupy a position adjacent to a car C so as to be positioned facing car C over the whole length of first section T 1 .
  • Transfer of passenger P on board car C from vehicle V can then take place with a speed differential equal to zero.
  • transfer may if required only be authorized on a segment of first section T 1 .
  • vehicle V is then brought back by rope 14 in the direction of section T 2 for a new loading.
  • the transport equipment comprises an unloading assistance system 12 similar to loading assistance system 11 , arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane X.
  • unloading assistance system 12 comprises a rope 28 in a closed loop running by means of drive means and having a first section T 3 arranged tangentially to a section of the closed circuit and a second section T 4 arranged along an unloading area 29 of passengers P from vehicles Y fixedly coupled to rope 28 with a regular stagger equal to a multiple of the interval between cars C.
  • the drive means of rope 28 are also associated with servo-control means of the running speed of rope 28 according to the speed of movement of cars C to continuously position each vehicle Y running on first section T 3 facing a car C while moving in the same direction (arrow F 4 ).
  • the section of closed circuit along which first section T 1 of rope 14 is tangentially arranged is identical to that along which first section T 3 of rope 28 is tangentially arranged.
  • the only difference between systems 11 and 12 arises from the fact that unloading area 29 is positioned at the beginning of the outer running track comprising second section T 4 , whereas loading area 16 is placed at the end of the outer running track comprising second section T 2 .
  • Unloading of a passenger P loaded on board a car C of transport installation 10 takes place in the following manner: all the vehicles Y are fixedly coupled to rope 28 so as to be driven on first section T 3 to a position adjacent to a car C facing the latter. Transfer of passenger P previously in car C to the adjacent vehicle Y is therefore possible with a speed differential substantially equal to zero.
  • actuation of the safety mechanism of gate barrier or landing door type equipping the adjacent vehicle V of loading assistance system 11 may if required only be authorized after a preset time delay during which vehicle Y is in the position adjacent to car C.
  • Such a variant enables transfer from car C to vehicle Y of unloading assistance system 12 to be performed earlier than transfer from vehicle V of loading assistance system 11 to car C.
  • Unloading platform 29 is equipped with a transfer walkway 30 whose path coincides with the path of vehicles Y in second section T 4 .
  • the speed of transfer walkway 30 is for example adjusted so as to be substantially equal to the speed of movement of vehicles Y along second section T 4 .
  • Such a variant enables a speed differential substantially equal to zero to be maintained during transfer of passenger P from vehicle Y to unloading area 29 , for enhanced safety.
  • passenger P on transfer walkway 30 moves onto the platform of unloading area 29 (arrow F 5 in FIG. 1 ). This operation during which a speed differential exists between passenger P and the platform does not present any risk as the speed differential can be compensated in the direction in which passenger P is moving.
  • each of the ropes 14 and 28 are driven at constant speed, it can be provided for each of the ropes to be either slowed down or even stopped at the moment when a series of corresponding vehicles V, Y is positioned respectively along loading area 16 and unloading area 29 .
  • This variant advantageously eliminates the necessity of providing transfer walkways 19 , 30 .
  • vehicles V, Y can be coupled to corresponding rope 14 , 28 by means of attachment grips of disengageable type.
  • disengagement systems of the grips are provided up-line from second sections T 2 and T 4 and engagement systems of the grips on rope 14 , 28 are provided down-line from second sections T 2 , T 4 , such a variant enables transfer between loading area 16 or unloading area 29 and vehicles V, Y to be performed reducing or even eliminating the speed differential, while at the same time not requiring the presence of transfer walkways 19 , 30 .
  • Vehicles V, Y in the disengaged state do on the other hand have to be set in motion by movement means independent from rope 14 , 28 .
  • vehicles V, Y are coupled to corresponding rope 14 , 28 at least on first section T 1 , T 3 of said rope 14 , 28 for synchronous driving of vehicles V, Y in the position adjacent to cars C.
  • Vehicles V, Y described above can be replaced by any equivalent vehicle, for example of the type suspended on rope 14 , 28 .
  • rope 14 , 28 then further has to perform the functions of support and guiding of the vehicles.
  • running track 21 may only border a part of the closed loop formed by corresponding rope 14 , 28 , or even be completely eliminated.
  • assistance systems 11 and 12 could be combined in a single loading and unloading assistance system using a single closed loop of rope only, to which only a series of vehicles would be coupled at regular intervals. Such a variant requires appropriate synchronization between transfers from the vehicle to car C and from car C to the vehicle.
  • vehicles V, Y are modified.
  • retractable sill 27 is replaced by an inclinable pedestrian ramp 31 arranged salient from vehicle X, Y, inclinable around a pivoting axis coinciding with the direction of movement of vehicle V, Y.
  • Means for varying the angle between ramp 31 and vehicle V, Y are provided.
  • inclinable ramp 31 presents an angle substantially equal to 7 degrees with respect to the horizontal to compensate the height difference between platform 22 and the floor of car C.
  • inclinable ramp 31 is substantially horizontal as platform 22 and transfer walkway 19 , 30 are substantially coplanar.
  • the means for varying the angle between inclinable ramp 31 and vehicle V, Y comprise a support system with a parallelogram deformable in a vertical plane, comprising:
  • proximal ends 32 a , 33 a of pivoting arms 32 , 33 are fitted pivoting freely on platform 22 at two vertically superposed points.
  • Distal ends 32 b , 33 b of pivoting arms 32 , 33 are mounted articulated on the ends of a vertical branch 34 a of joining element 34 (or vice-versa, vertical branch 34 a of joining element 34 is articulated on distal ends 32 b , 33 b ) which presents a bracket shape with a horizontal branch 34 b facing away from vehicle V, Y.
  • the vertical branch 34 a and horizontal branch 34 b remain respectively vertical and horizontal whatever the state of deformation of the parallelogram, i.e. whatever the angle formed between pivoting arms 32 , 33 and vehicle V, Y.
  • inclinable ramp 31 is secured by any suitable means to the top pivoting arm 32 , but could also be secured to pivoting arm 33 .
  • Sliding rod 36 is articulated at its distal end in a middle area of top pivoting arm 32 .
  • Rod 36 moves in straight translation in a tubular body 37 of actuating jack 35 due to the action of a fluid under pressure such as air or oil.
  • body 37 is mounted articulated on vehicle V, Y, more precisely on platform 22 , near the articulation of proximal end 33 a of bottom pivoting arm 33 .
  • extension movement of sliding rod 36 commands increase of the angle of incline of inclinable ramp 31 with respect to the horizontal.
  • retraction movement of sliding rod 36 commands reduction of the angle of incline of inclinable ramp 31 with respect to the horizontal.
  • the angle of incline of ramp 31 which is directly dependent on the state of extension of sliding rod 36 , is adapted at all times along first sections T 1 and T 3 to compensate the height difference between platform 22 and the floor of car C, keeping horizontal branch 34 b at the same level (pressing under the latter) as the floor of car C.
  • the angle of incline of ramp 31 is adapted at all times along second sections T 2 and T 4 to compensate the height difference between platform 22 and transfer walkways 19 , 30 , keeping horizontal branch 34 b at the same level (pressing on the latter) as transfer walkways 19 , 30 .
  • Inclinable ramp 31 associated with the means for varying the angle between ramp 31 and vehicle V, Y thereby enable both the height differences between platform 22 and either the floor of car C or transfer walkways 19 , 30 to be compensated, and also compensate the horizontal differences between these elements. This is why horizontal branch 34 b of the joining element presses via the top or the bottom respectively against the floor of car C and against transfer walkways 19 , 30 .
  • the invention can be applied to any type of transport installation of cars in closed circuit, in particular to any type of people mover such as for example a gondola car with fixed grips using a hauling rope with a very high running speed (greater than 0.5 m/s).
