Abstract

Two traction cables (18, 19) are used, one at a cyclicly variable speed and the other at a constant speed. Thus, during the travel in the zone I, the cabins (11) move at a high speed and are then, in zone II, controlled by the variable-speed cable (18). The latter slows down in order to bring the cabin into the zone IV at the same speed as an auxiliary advancing apparatus (20) which moves this cabin at a very low speed into the zone V. When a cabin leaves a station, the operations take place in the reverse order. In the zone III, the speed of the variable-speed cable (18) increases, instead of decreasing in the zone III. <IMAGE>

Description

On sait qu'il existe diverses manières de réaliser le téléphérage de passagers dans des cabines entre une station basse et une station haute.It is known that there are various ways of carrying out passenger wiring in cabins between a low station and a high station.

On connaît tout d'abord des téléphériques à deux câbles porteurs disposés parallèlement l'un à l'autre et ancrés à leurs extrémités. Chacun de ces câbles porte une benne de grande capacité qui est déplacée en va-et-vient au moyen d'un câble tracteur.First of all, cable cars with two carrying cables are known which are arranged parallel to one another and anchored at their ends. Each of these cables carries a large capacity bucket which is moved back and forth by means of a towing cable.

Il existe aussi des installations dites "télécabines" qui comportent un câble porteur disposé en circuit fermé et auquel sont accrochées une multiplicité de cabines. Celles-ci sont désaccouplées du câble porteur dans les gares pour être prises en charge par un transporteur auxiliaire.There are also so-called "gondola" installations which include a carrying cable arranged in a closed circuit and to which a multiplicity of cabins are attached. These are uncoupled from the carrying cable in stations to be taken care of by an auxiliary transporter.

Il existe enfin des transporteurs à câble du genre des télécabines, mais celles-ci restent de manière constante associées au câble porteur qui ralentit de manière cadencée pour que les passagers puissent monter ou descendre des cabines.Finally, there are cable transporters of the gondola type, but these are constantly associated with the carrying cable which slows down in a clockwise fashion so that passengers can get on and off the cabins.

Les appareils appelés téléphériques, et qui fonctionnent en va-et-vient, présentent des superstructures qui ont une très longue durée de vie. Chaque benne est d'un poids élevé, de telle sorte que les câbles porteurs doivent être très largement calculés pour des charges concentrées. Ils sont donc très résistants. Par contre, les débits de tels téléphériques sont très réduits.Devices called cable cars, which work back and forth, have superstructures that have a very long service life. Each bucket is heavy, so that the load-bearing cables must be very widely calculated for concentrated loads. They are therefore very resistant. However, the speeds of such cable cars are very low.

Les perfectionnements qui font l'objet de la présente invention visent à permettre la réalisation d'un appareil de téléphérage utilisant les superstructures d'un téléphérique à deux câbles, mais comportant une multiplicité de cabines circulant les unes derrière les autres, de telle manière que l'on puisse arrêter l'une des cabines sans arrêter les autres. A cet effet, le procédé de téléphérage suivant l'invention consiste à ralentir la vitesse du câble tracteur de manière cyclique pendant le temps nécessaire à son désaccouplement avec une cabine et son nouvel accouplement avec une autre cabine, celle libérée étant prise en charge par un appareil auxiliaire d'avancement destiné à le déplacer à faible vitesse pendant le temps nécessaire à son chargement ou à son déchargement.The improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to allow the production of a cableway apparatus using the superstructures of a cable car with two cables, but comprising a multiplicity of cabs circulating one behind the other, so that you can stop one of the cabins without stopping the others. To this end, the telephoning method according to the invention consists in slowing down the speed of the tractor cable cyclically for the time necessary for its uncoupling with a cabin and its new coupling with another cabin, the released one being taken care of by a auxiliary advancement device intended to move it at low speed for the time necessary for its loading or unloading.

Dans une forme d'exécution préférée de la disposition qui précède, le procédé suivant l'invention consiste à utiliser un deuxième câble tracteur avançant à vitesse constante auquel chaque cabine associée au premier câble est assujettie après avoir atteint la vitesse du deuxième câble tracteur. Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple. permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention. les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :

In a preferred embodiment of the above arrangement, the method according to the invention consists in using a second tractor cable advancing at constant speed to which each cabin associated with the first cable is subject after having reached the speed of the second tractor cable. The attached drawing, given by way of example. will allow a better understanding of the invention. the characteristics it presents and the advantages it is likely to provide:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a telephoning apparatus comprising application of the improvements according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the diagram of the speed versus time of the carrying cable of the apparatus of FIG. 1.

  • Fig. 4 illustrates the diagram of the speeds of the cables carrying the variable of FIG. 3 with respect to time.
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of the devices for attaching each cabin to the carrying cables of FIG. 3.

On a illustré en fig. 1 un appareil de téléphérage établi conformément à une première variante de l'invention. Cet appareil comprend essentiellement deux câbles porteurs 1 et 2 tendus respectivement entre des ancrages 3, 4 - 5,6. Ces deux câbles 1 et 2 représentent en fait les deux câbles d'un téléphérique usuel à deux câbles qu'on désire modifier pour améliorer son rendement.Illustrated in fig. 1 a telephoning apparatus established in accordance with a first variant of the invention. This device essentially comprises two carrying cables 1 and 2 stretched respectively between anchors 3, 4 - 5,6. These two cables 1 and 2 in fact represent the two cables of a conventional cable car with two cables that one wishes to modify to improve its performance.

A cet effet, deux liaisons 7, 8 sont prévues dans les deux gares extrêmes 9, 10 de manière à constituer un câble porteur continu. Une multiplicité de cabines 11 sont suspendues au câble porteur par des chariots 12 usuels. Un câble tracteur 13 est disposé parallèlement au câble porteur, les cabines comportant chacune des moyens d'être assujetties à ce câble tracteur 13. Dans les gares extrêmes 9, 10 on a prévu un appareil auxiliaire d'avancement 14, respectivement 15. Par définition, l'élément porteur constitué par les deux câbles 1, 2 et les liaisons 7 et 8 est immobile et constitue une espèce de chemin de roulement fermé pour les cabines.To this end, two connections 7, 8 are provided in the two extreme stations 9, 10 so as to constitute a continuous carrying cable. A multiplicity of cabins 11 are suspended from the carrying cable by standard carriages 12. A tractor cable 13 is arranged parallel to the carrying cable, the cabins each comprising means of being subject to this tractor cable 13. In the extreme stations 9, 10 an auxiliary advancement device 14, respectively 15. is provided. By definition , the carrier element constituted by the two cables 1, 2 and the connections 7 and 8 is stationary and constitutes a kind of closed raceway for the cabins.

On peut aussi prévoir une gare intermédiaire 16 dans laquelle est aussi installé un appareil auxiliaire 17 semblable à ceux 14, 15 des gares extrêmes 9, 10.One can also provide an intermediate station 16 in which is also installed an auxiliary device 17 similar to those 14, 15 of the extreme stations 9, 10.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant : Si l'on considère une cabine 11 se situant dans la zone a située entre deux gares, elle est déplacée à grande vitesse par le câble tracteur 13 jusqu'à une zone dans laquelle le câble tracteur décélère, entraînant un ralentissement de la cabine. A la fin de cette zone, le câble tracteur 13 a une vitesse très faible y qu'il conserve pendant un court instant. Cette faible vitesse correspond à celle d'avancement en continu des appareils auxiliaires 14, 15 et 17. De ce fait, il est possible d'accrocher la cabine à l'un desdits appareils auxiliaires, tandis qu'ensuite elle est décrochée du câble tracteur 13. Le câble tracteur reprend immédiatement de la vitesse. Une fois que la cabine a parcouru la zone γ , elle arrive au bout de l'appareil auxiliaire et lorsque le câble tracteur présente la même vitesse que celle de ce dernier, elle peut être raccrochée sur lui puis désolidarisée dudit transporteur auxiliaire. La vitesse du câble tracteur 13 augmente à nouveau dans la zone β.The operation is as follows: If we consider a cabin 11 located in the zone a located between two stations, it is moved at high speed by the tractor cable 13 to an area in which the tractor cable decelerates, causing a cab slowdown. At the end of this zone, the towing cable 13 has a very low speed y which it keeps for a short time. This low speed corresponds to that of continuous advancement of the auxiliary devices 14, 15 and 17. Therefore, it is possible to hook the cabin to one of said auxiliary devices, while then it is detached from the towing cable 13. The hauling cable immediately picks up speed. Once the cabin has traversed zone γ, it arrives at the end of the auxiliary device and when the tractor cable has the same speed as that of the latter, it can be hung up on it and then disconnected from said auxiliary conveyor. The speed of the tractor cable 13 increases again in the zone β.

La cabine désolidarisée du câble porteur avance donc lentement en gare de manière que les voyageurs puissent descendre et monter. Pendant toute la durée de cet avancement lent, la vitesse du câble tracteur est plusieurs fois ralentie puis réaccélérée. Lorsque la cabine arrive au bout de l'appareil auxiliaire d'avancement, il se trouve un instant où la vitesse du câble tracteur est identique à celle dudit appareil, de telle sorte qu'on peut raccrocher la cabine au câble tracteur, puis la décrocher dudit transporteur auxiliaire. On a illustré en fig. 2, le diagramme des vitesses. Dans la partie centrale X, le câble porteur 13 est soumis à une vitesse élevée. Dans la partie Y, cette vitesse décroît pour arriver à une vitesse très faible qui est constante dans la zone Z. Puis, après décrochage de la cabine, la vitesse augmente à nouveau dans la zone W.The cabin detached from the carrying cable therefore advances slowly at the station so that passengers can get on and off. Throughout this slow advance, the speed of the tractor cable is slowed down several times and then accelerated again. When the cabin reaches the end of the auxiliary advancement device, there is a moment when the speed of the towing cable is identical to that of said device, so that the cabin can be hooked up to the tractor cable, then unhook it from said auxiliary conveyor. Illustrated in fig. 2, the speed diagram. In the central part X, the carrying cable 13 is subjected to a high speed. In part Y, this speed decreases to arrive at a very low speed which is constant in zone Z. Then, after stalling the cabin, the speed increases again in zone W.

Il va de soi que les manoeuvres des cabines se font préférablement de manière symétrique. Bien entendu, les manoeuvres s'exécutent de façon absolument semblable à la gare intermédiaire 16. Autrement dit, à chaque gare, on s'arrange de sorte que lors de l'arrivée d'une cabine au début de l'appareil auxiliaire d'avancement, une autre se trouve à la fin de celui-ci, les cabines étant de manière pratiquement synchronisée respectivement désaccouplées et réaccouplées au câble tracteur 13.It goes without saying that the maneuvers of the cabins are preferably carried out symmetrically. Of course, the maneuvers are carried out in an absolutely similar manner to the intermediate station 16. In other words, at each station, it is arranged so that when a cabin arrives at the start of the auxiliary apparatus of advancement, another is at the end of it, the cabins being practically synchronized respectively uncoupled and re-coupled to the towing cable 13.

Suivant un mode d'exécution préféré qui est illustré en fig. 3, on prévoit d'utiliser deux câbles tracteurs, l'un 18 soumis aux mêmes modulations de vitesse que le câble 13 de l'exemple illustré en fig. 1, et l'autre 19 défilant à vitesse constante. De la même manière que les cabines sont transférées du câble 13 aux appareils auxiliaires d'avancement 14, 15 et 17 dans l'exemple de fig. 1, on transfère dans la variante de fig. 3 les cabines du câble à vitesse modulée 18, d'une part aux appareils auxiliaires et d'autre part au câble à vitesse constante 19 comme expliqué ci-dessous.According to a preferred embodiment which is illustrated in FIG. 3, provision is made to use two towing cables, one 18 subjected to the same speed modulations as the cable 13 of the example illustrated in FIG. 1, and the other 19 parading at constant speed. In the same way that the cabins are transferred from the cable 13 to the auxiliary advancement devices 14, 15 and 17 in the example of FIG. 1, transfer to the variant of FIG. 3 the cabs of the modulated speed cable 18, on the one hand to the auxiliary devices and on the other hand to the constant speed cable 19 as explained below.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant :

  • Dans la zone I, chaque cabine est associée au câble à vitesse constante 19 (fig. 3), de telle sorte qu'elle se déplace à grande vitesse jusqu'à une zone II, le long de laquelle le câble à vitesse modulée 18 atteint la vitesse de celui 19 de manière à permettre le transfert des moyens de déplacement de la canine d'un câble sur l'autre, comme on l'expliquera mieux plus loin. La cabine entre alors dans la zone fil dans laquelle la vitesse du câble tracteur 18 diminue jusqu'à atteindre celle de l'appareil auxiliaire d'avancement situé dans la gare inférieure. Pendant un court instant correspondant à la zone IV, la vitesse du câble 18 est égale à celle dudit appareil, de telle sorte que la cabine est désolidarisée dudit câble pour être prise en charge par l'appareil en question.
The operation is as follows:
  • In zone I, each cabin is associated with the constant speed cable 19 (fig. 3), so that it travels at high speed to a zone II, along which the modulated speed cable 18 reaches the speed of that 19 so as to allow the transfer of the means for moving the canine from one cable to the other, as will be explained better below. The cabin then enters the wire zone in which the speed of the tractor cable 18 decreases until it reaches that of the auxiliary advancement device located in the lower station. For a short time corresponding to zone IV, the speed of the cable 18 is equal to that of the said device, so that the cabin is separated from the said cable to be supported by the device in question.

A la sortie d'une gare, le mouvement est inverse. En effet, la cabine dans la zone V se déplace à vitesse très réduite en étant entraînée par l'appareil auxiliaire d'avancement. Puis, arrivant dans la zone IV' dans laquelle la vitesse du câble 18 est égale à celle de l'appareil auxiliaire, elle peut être désolidarisée de celui-ci et prise en charge par ledit câble 18. On atteint ensuite une zone III' dans laquelle le câble 18 augmente de vitesse pour arriver dans la zone Il' dans laquelle la cabine est prise en cahrge par le câble à vitesse constante 19.When leaving a station, the movement is reversed. In fact, the cabin in zone V moves at very low speed while being driven by the auxiliary advancement device. Then, arriving in zone IV ′ in which the speed of the cable 18 is equal to that of the auxiliary device, it can be separated from the latter and taken over by said cable 18. A zone III ′ is then reached in which the cable 18 increases in speed to arrive in the zone II 'in which the cabin is taken in charge by the cable at constant speed 19.

Le diagramme de fig. 4 montre les variations de vitesse du câble porteur 18 dans le temps. On constate que dans une première zone A, la vitesse de ce câble est presque nulle et égale à celle de l'appareil auxiliaire d'avancement 20, 21 prévu dans chacune des gares inférieure et supérieure, puis la vitesse de ce câble 18 croît dans la zone B jusqu'à atteindre celle du second câble tracteur 19 à vitesse constante, vitesse qui est conservée par le câble 18 dans une zone C, puis la vitesse dudit câble 18 décroît dans la zone D pour atteindre à nouveau celle des appareils d'avancement. et ainsi de suite.The diagram in fig. 4 shows the variations in speed of the carrying cable 18 over time. It can be seen that in a first zone A, the speed of this cable is almost zero and equal to that of the auxiliary advancement device 20, 21 provided in each of the lower and upper stations, then the speed of this cable 18 increases in zone B until reaching that of the second tractor cable 19 at constant speed, speed which is maintained by the cable 18 in a zone C, then the speed of said cable 18 decreases in zone D to reach that of the apparatuses again. advancement. And so on.

On constate que lorsque les vitesses des câbles 18 et 19 sont égales, il est facile de transférer l'entraînement de la cabine d'un câble à l'autre puisque pendant un court instant, les vitesses de ces deux câbles sont identiques.It can be seen that when the speeds of the cables 18 and 19 are equal, it is easy to transfer the drive from the cabin from one cable to the other since for a short time, the speeds of these two cables are identical.

On a illustré très schématiquement en fig. 5 les attaches permettant à la cabine d'être successivement prise en charge par les deux câbles tracteurs 18, 19. La cabine est suspendue par un mât 22 à un chariot 12 qui roule sur le câble porteur. A ce mât est assujetti de manière fixe un support 23 par rapport auquel une chaise 24 est montée coulissante verticalement grâce à des rainures 24a coopérant avec des glissières en queue d'aronde 23a. Le dessus de la chaise 22 est pourvu de deux attaches 25, 26 identiques et placées côte à côte. Elles comportent chacune deux mors 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b déplaçables latéralement par des moyens usuels non représentés. Il n'est pas nécessaire de décrire plus avant de telles attaches qui sont bien connues dans la pratique. On notera la présence sur les faces latérales de la chaise 24, de galets 27 placés dans l'alignement du centre des attaches 25, 26 et qui ont pour but de guider chacun des câbles par rapport auxdites attaches.Illustrated very schematically in FIG. 5 the fasteners allowing the cabin to be successively supported by the two tractor cables 18, 19. The cabin is suspended by a mast 22 from a carriage 12 which rolls on the carrying cable. To this mast is fixedly fixed a support 23 with respect to which a chair 24 is slidably mounted vertically by means of grooves 24a cooperating with dovetail slides 23a. The top of the chair 22 is provided with two identical fasteners 25, 26 and placed side by side. They each have two jaws 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b which can be moved laterally by conventional means, not shown. There is no need to describe further such fasteners which are well known in the art. Note the presence on the side faces of the chair 24, rollers 27 placed in alignment with the center of the fasteners 25, 26 and which are intended to guide each of the cables relative to said fasteners.

Pour revenir au fonctionnement décrit ci-dessus de l'appareil de téléphérage illustré en fig. 3, on doit préciser que la manoeuvre des attaches 25, 26 s'effectue d'une part dans les zones Il, Il' et d'autre part dans les zones IV, IV'. A l'entrée de chaque zone Il, II', l'attache 26 serre le câble 19, tandis que l'autre attache 25 est libre par rapport au câble 18. Dès que l'on entre dans la zone Il, II', cette attache 25 est serrée de manière qu'à ce moment la cabine soit entraînée par les deux câbles, puis juste avant la fin de chaque zone Il, II', l'attache 26 est ouverte de manière que la cabine ne soit plus entraînée que par le câble 18. Lorsque la cabine arrive dans la zone IV, IV', l'attache 25 s'ouvre de manière que cette cabine soit prise en charge par l'appareil d'avancement. A cet effet, la chaise 24 est abaissée afin que les attaches 25, 26 se trouvent en dessous des câbles 18, 19 dans les gares. Lors du départ d'une cabine d'une des gares, la manoeuvre des attaches s'effectue à l'inverse, c'est-à-dire que celle 25 est d'abord serrée sur le câble 18, puis la liaison de cette cabine avec l'appareil d'avancement est supprimée afin que dans la zone III' la cabine ne soit entraînée que par le câble 18. Dès l'entrée dans la zone Il', l'attache 26 est serrée sur le câble 19, puis celle 25 est desserrée afin que la cabine parte dans la zone 1 en étant uniquement entraînée par le câble à vitesse constante 19.To return to the above-described operation of the telephoning apparatus illustrated in FIG. 3, it should be noted that the operation of the fasteners 25, 26 is carried out on the one hand in the zones II, II 'and on the other hand in the zones IV, IV'. At the entrance to each zone II, II ', the fastener 26 grips the cable 19, while the other fastener 25 is free relative to the cable 18. As soon as one enters the zone II, II', this fastener 25 is tightened so that at this moment the cabin is driven by the two cables, then just before the end of each zone II, II ′, the fastener 26 is opened so that the cabin is no longer driven except by the cable 18. When the cabin arrives in zone IV, IV ′, the fastener 25 opens so that this cabin is supported by the advancement device. For this purpose, the chair 24 is lowered so that the fasteners 25, 26 are located below the cables 18, 19 in the stations. When leaving a cabin from one of the stations, the operation of the fasteners is carried out in reverse, that is to say that that 25 is first tightened on the cable 18, then the connection of this cabin with the advancement device is eliminated so that in zone III 'the cabin is only driven by the cable 18. As soon as entering zone II', the fastener 26 is tightened on the cable 19, then that 25 is loosened so that the cabin leaves in zone 1 while being only driven by the constant speed cable 19.

De cette manière, on assure une sécurité totale des cabines qui ne peuvent en aucun cas, comme cela arrive quelquefois avec les dispositifs connus actuels, avoir un entraînement incertain de la cabine. Celle-ci ne peut donc pas être en perdition ou chuter, même s'il y a une rupture d'attache. Cet accident, qui peut être facilement vérifié par des détecteurs appropriés, entraîne la prise en charge de la cabine par l'un ou l'autre des câbles pour être ramenée à la gare la plus proche. Ainsi, toute cabine est toujours en prise avec l'un des câbles tracteurs, puisque l'on ne lâche pas une prise tant que l'on n'est pas sûr de l'autre.In this way, a total security of the cabins is ensured, which cannot in any case, as sometimes happens with current known devices, have an uncertain drive of the cab. It cannot therefore be lost or fall, even if there is a break in attachment. This accident, which can be easily verified by appropriate detectors, involves the handling of the cabin by one or other of the cables to be brought back to the nearest station. Thus, any cabin is always engaged with one of the towing cables, since we do not let go of a grip until we are sure of the other.
