Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage zum Transport von Personen und bzw. oder von Gütern mit einer Mehrzahl von mit Laufrädern ausgebildeten Fahrzeugen, welche an ein sich ständig bewegendes Förderseil ankuppelbar sind, wodurch sie längs einer Bahn, insbesondere längs Schienen, verfahrbar sind, wobei in Bereichen von Haltestellen, in welchen die Fahrzeuge vom Förderseil abkuppelbar sind, Verzögerungsräder bzw. Beschleunigungsräder vorgesehen sind, welche an die Fahrzeuge zur Anlage bringbar sind, wodurch deren Fahrgeschwindigkeit verkleinert bzw. vergrößert wird.The subject invention relates to a system for the transport of people and / or goods with a plurality of vehicles designed with wheels, which can be coupled to a constantly moving conveyor cable, whereby they can be moved along a track, in particular along rails, wherein in Areas of stops in which the vehicles can be uncoupled from the conveyor cable, deceleration wheels or acceleration wheels are provided which can be brought into contact with the vehicles, as a result of which their driving speed is reduced or increased.

Bei einer bekannten derartigen Anlage sind in den Bereichen der Haltestellen Verzögerungsräder bzw. Beschleunigungsräder vorgesehen, welche an den Fahrzeugkabinen zur Anlage kommen. Sobald ein Fahrzeug in den Bereich einer Haltestellen einfährt, wird dieses vom Förderseil abgekuppelt und kommen die Verzögerungsräder zur Wirkung, wodurch die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges stark vermindert oder bis zu dessen Stillstand herabgesetzt wird, sodaß es von Passagieren bestiegen oder verlassen werden kann. Sobald hierauf das Fahrzeug weiter bewegt werden soll, wird es mittels der Beschleunigungsräder auf diejenige Geschwindigkeit gebracht, mit welcher das Förderseil bewegt wird, worauf es an dieses angekuppelt wird.In a known system of this type, deceleration wheels or acceleration wheels are provided in the areas of the stops, which come to rest on the vehicle cabins. As soon as a vehicle enters the area of a stop, it is uncoupled from the conveyor cable and the deceleration wheels come into effect, as a result of which the speed of the vehicle is greatly reduced or reduced until it comes to a standstill so that it can be climbed on or off by passengers. As soon as the vehicle is to be moved further thereupon, the acceleration wheels bring it to the speed at which the conveyor cable is moved, after which it is coupled to it.

Bei dieser bekannten Anlage sind die Verzögerungsräder bzw. Beschleunigungsräder seitlich der Bahn angeordnet, wobei sie um zumindest angenähert vertikale Achse verdrehbar sind und an seitlich der Fahrzeugkabine vorgesehenen Kontaktflächen zur Anlage kommen. Eine derartige Anlage entspricht jedoch deshalb nicht den an dieselbe gestellten Anforderungen, als sie für die Bereiche der Haltestellen, in welche die Verzögerungsräder bzw. die Beschleunigungsräder zur Wirkung kommen, geradlinige Strecken voraussetzen. Soferne nämlich diese Strecken nicht geradlinig sind, können die Verzögerungsräder bzw. die Beschleunigungsräder nur mit einem großen zusätzlichen technischen Aufwand an die Fahrzeugkabine zur Anlage gebracht werden. Zudem müßten in den Antrieben der auf den beiden Seiten der Bahn befindlichen Verzögerungsräder bzw. Beschleunigungsräder die unterschiedlichen Längen der Bahnen, bei welchen die Räder zur Wirkung kommen, berücksichtigt werden, wofür z.B. Differentialgetriebe erforderlich wären.In this known system, the deceleration wheels or acceleration wheels are arranged on the side of the track, wherein they can be rotated about at least approximately a vertical axis and come to rest on contact surfaces provided on the side of the vehicle cabin. However, such a system does not meet the requirements placed on it, as it requires straight lines for the areas of the stops in which the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels come into effect. If these lines are not straight, the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels can only be equipped with a large additional technical Effort to be brought to the vehicle cabin. In addition, in the drives of the deceleration wheels or acceleration wheels located on the two sides of the track, the different lengths of the tracks on which the wheels come into effect would have to be taken into account, for which purpose differential gears would be required.

Der gegenständlichen Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anlage der vorstehend genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher die Haltestellen entsprechend den örtlichen Gegebenheiten auch in gekrümmten Abschnitten der Bahn angeordnet werden können, ohne daß es hierbei hinsichtlich der Anordnung und des Betriebes der Verzögerungsräder bzw. der Beschleunigungsräder besonderer technischer Maßnahmen bedarf.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a system of the type mentioned above, in which the stops can also be arranged in curved sections of the track according to the local conditions, without this affecting the arrangement and operation of the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels require special technical measures.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß jedes Fahrzeug an seiner Unterseite mit mindestens einer Kontaktfläche ausgebildet ist, mit welcher die Verzögerungsräder bzw. die Beschleunigungsräder, welche im Bereich der Fahrbahn um zumindest angenähert horizontale Achsen gelagert sind, zusammenwirken. Aufgrund der Anordnung der Verzögerungsräder bzw. der Beschleunigungsräder unterhalb des Fahrzeuges und der an dessen Unterseite angeordneten Kontaktfläche kommen die Verzögerungsräder bzw. die Beschleunigungsräder auch in gekrümmten Abschnitten der Bahn an die an der Unterseite des Fahrzeuges angeordnete Kontakfläche zur Anlage, ohne daß es hierfür zusätzlicher technischer Maßnahmen bedarf. Weiters sind allfällig auftretende Schlupferscheinungen so gering, daß hierdurch der Betrieb der Anlage nicht beeinträchtigt wird.This object is achieved in that each vehicle is formed on its underside with at least one contact surface with which the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels, which are mounted in the area of the roadway around at least approximately horizontal axes, interact. Due to the arrangement of the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels below the vehicle and the contact surface arranged on the underside thereof, the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels also come into contact with the contact surface arranged on the underside of the vehicle in curved sections of the track, without additional technical requirements Action is needed. Furthermore, any slip phenomena that occur are so small that the operation of the system is not impaired thereby.

Die Kontaktfläche kann mit dem Fahrzeug starr verbunden sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Kontaktfläche am Fahrzeug federnd befestigt. Hierdurch wird es vermieden, daß durch die Verzögerungsräder bzw. die Beschleunigungsräder verursachte Stöße auf die Fahrzeugkabine übertragen werden. Vorzugsweise befinden sich die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder oberhalb des Förderseiles.The contact surface can be rigidly connected to the vehicle. The contact surface is preferably resiliently attached to the vehicle. This prevents impacts caused by the deceleration wheels or the acceleration wheels from being transmitted to the vehicle cabin. Preferably located the deceleration or acceleration wheels above the conveyor cable.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder in Gruppen unterteilt, welchen Antriebsmotoren zugeordnet sind, wobei die Räder der einzelnen Gruppen miteinander mittels Übersetzungen gekuppelt sind. Alternativ dazu können die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder jeweils mittels gesonderter Motoren, welche an eine Steuereinheit angeschlossen sind, antreibbar sein.According to a preferred embodiment, the deceleration or acceleration wheels are subdivided into groups to which drive motors are assigned, the wheels of the individual groups being coupled to one another by means of translations. Alternatively, the deceleration or acceleration wheels can each be driven by means of separate motors which are connected to a control unit.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Anlage ist nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Eine erfindungsgemäße Anlage besteht aus einer Bahn 1, welche zwei Schienen 11 und 12 aufweist, längs welcher ein Fahrzeug 2 verfahrbar ist. Für den Antrieb des Fahrzeuges 2 ist ein zwischen den beiden Schienen 11 und 12 geführtes Förderseil 3 vorgesehen, welches ständig mit einer vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit bewegt wird und an welches das Fahrzeug 2 mittels einer Klemmeinrichtung 4 ankuppelbar ist.A system according to the invention consists of a track 1 which has two rails 11 and 12, along which a vehicle 2 can be moved. A conveyor cable 3, which is guided between the two rails 11 and 12, is provided for driving the vehicle 2 and is constantly moved at a predetermined speed and to which the vehicle 2 can be coupled by means of a clamping device 4.

Im Bereich der Haltestellen sind zwischen den Schienen 11 und 12 um horizontale Achsen verdrehbare Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5 vorgesehen, welche an eine an der Unterseite des Fahrzeuges 2 angeordnete Kontaktfläche 6 zur Anlage kommen, wodurch das Fahrzeug 2 nach dessen Entkupplung vom Förderseil 3 verzögert bzw. beschleunigt werden kann.In the area of the stops, deceleration or acceleration wheels 5 are provided between the rails 11 and 12 which can be rotated about horizontal axes and which come into contact with a contact surface 6 arranged on the underside of the vehicle 2, whereby the vehicle 2 decelerates after its uncoupling from the conveyor cable 3 or can be accelerated.

Das Fahrzeug 2 besteht aus einer Kabine 21 für den Transport von Personen oder von Gütern. Es ist weiters mit Laufrädern 22 ausgebildet, mittels welcher es längs der Schienen 11 und 12 verfahrbar ist. Wie dies aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist, ist es zudem mit Führungsrollen 23 versehen, welche an die Innenflächen der vertikalen Stege der I-förmig ausgebildeten Schienen 11 und 12 zur Anlage kommen. Weiters ist an seiner Unterseite die Klemmeinrichtung 4 angeordnet, mittels welcher das Fahrzeug 2 an das Förderseil 3 anklemmbar ist. Die Steuerung der Klemmeinrichtung dahingehend, daß eine Entkupplung des Fahrzeuges 2 vom Förderseil 3 erfolgt, wird durch eine Steuerrolle 41, welche auf Steuerschienen 42 aufläuft, bewirkt.The vehicle 2 consists of a cabin 21 for the transport of people or goods. It is also designed with running wheels 22, by means of which it can be moved along the rails 11 and 12. As can be seen from Figure 2, it is also provided with guide rollers 23 which come to rest on the inner surfaces of the vertical webs of the I-shaped rails 11 and 12. Furthermore, the clamping device 4 is arranged on its underside, by means of which the vehicle 2 can be clamped to the conveyor cable 3. The control of the clamping device in such a way that the vehicle 2 is uncoupled from the conveyor cable 3 is effected by a control roller 41 which runs onto control rails 42.

Weiters ist an der Bodenfläche des Fahrzeuges 2 die Kontaktfläche 6 angeordnet, an welche in den Bereichen der Haltestellen die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5, welche um zumindest angenähert horizontale Achsen verdrehbar sind, zur Anlage kommen. Die Kontaktfläche 6 kann mit der Fahrzeugkabine 21 starr verbunden sein. Um jedoch zu vermeiden, daß durch die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5 verursachte Stöße auf die Kabine 21 übertragen werden, ist es zweckmäßig, die Kontaktfläche 6 an der Fahrzeugkabine 21 gelenkig und insbesondere federnd zu befestigen.Furthermore, the contact surface 6 is arranged on the floor surface of the vehicle 2, against which the deceleration or acceleration wheels 5, which can be rotated about at least approximately horizontal axes, come to rest in the areas of the stops. The contact surface 6 can be rigidly connected to the vehicle cabin 21. However, in order to prevent impacts caused by the deceleration or acceleration wheels 5 from being transmitted to the cabin 21, it is expedient to fix the contact surface 6 to the vehicle cabin 21 in an articulated and, in particular, resilient manner.

Für den Antrieb der Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5 sind Motoren 51 vorgesehen, durch welche der Antrieb einer Gruppe von Rädern 5 bewirkt wird, wobei diese Räder 5 zur Erzielung der für die Verzögerung bzw. Beschleunigung des Fahrzeuges 2 erforderlichen unterschiedlichen Drehgeschwindigkeiten miteinander über Getriebe, z.B. Keilriemengetriebe, gekuppelt sind.Motors 51 are provided for driving the deceleration or acceleration wheels 5, by means of which the drive of a group of wheels 5 is effected, these wheels 5 using gears to achieve the different rotational speeds required for decelerating or accelerating the vehicle 2, e.g. V-belt transmission, are coupled.

Alternativ dazu können die Räder durch diesen jeweils zugeordnete einzelne Motoren angetrieben werden, wobei deren Steuerung durch ein zentrales Steuergerät erfolgt. Zudem sind Geschwindigkeitsmeßgeräte vorgesehen, deren Ausgänge an die Steuerungen der Antriebsmotoren gelegt sind.As an alternative to this, the wheels can be driven by individual motors assigned to each of them, their control being carried out by a central control unit. There are also speed measuring devices provided, the outputs of which are connected to the controls of the drive motors.

In Fig.3 ist ein Streckenabschnitt dargestellt, welcher gekrümmt verläuft. Da sich die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5 unterhalb des Fahrzeuges 2 befinden und an die an der Unterseite der Fahrzeuge 2 angeordneten Kontaktflächen 6 zur Anlage kommen, wird der ordnungsgemäße Antrieb der Fahrzeuge 2 gewährleistet.3 shows a section of the route which is curved. Since the deceleration or acceleration wheels 5 are located below the vehicle 2 and come into contact with the contact surfaces 6 arranged on the underside of the vehicles 2, the proper drive of the vehicles 2 is ensured.

Der Betrieb dieser Anlage ist wie folgt:
Außerhalb von Haltestellen sind die Fahrzeuge 2 mittels der Klemmeinrichtung 4 an das Förderseil 3 angekuppelt, wodurch sie längs der Bahn 1 mit der Geschwindigkeit des Förderseiles von z.B. 8 m/sek. verfahren werden. Sobald die Fahrzeuge 2 in den Bereich einer Haltestelle kommen, läuft die Steuerrolle 41 der Klemmeinrichtung 4 auf die dort befindliche Steuerschiene 42 auf, wodurch die Klemmeinrichtung 4 geöffnet wird, sodaß das betreffende Fahrzeug 2 vom Förderseil 3 entkuppelt wird. Hierauf kommen an der Kontaktfläche 6 Verzögerungsräder 5 zur Wirkung, wodurch die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges 2 stark herabgesetzt oder bis zum Stillstand verzögert wird. Hierauf kann die Fahrzeugkabine 21 von Personen bestiegen oder verlassen werden. In weiterer Folge wird das Fahrzeug 2 mittels Beschleunigungsräder 5 wieder auf die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit des Förderseiles 3 gebracht, worauf es mittels der Klemmeinrichtung 4 an das Förderseil 3 angekuppelt wird. Mittels des Förderseiles 3 wird es dann in den Bereich der nächsten Haltestelle verfahren.The operation of this system is as follows:
Outside of stops, the vehicles 2 are coupled to the conveyor cable 3 by means of the clamping device 4, as a result of which they along the track 1 at the speed of the conveyor cable of, for example, 8 m / sec. be moved. As soon as the vehicles 2 come into the area of a stop, the control roller 41 of the clamping device 4 runs onto the control rail 42 located there, whereby the clamping device 4 is opened so that the vehicle 2 in question is uncoupled from the conveyor cable 3. Deceleration wheels 5 then act on the contact surface 6, as a result of which the speed of the vehicle 2 is greatly reduced or is decelerated to a standstill. The vehicle cabin 21 can then be climbed or left by people. Subsequently, the vehicle 2 is brought back to the rotational speed of the conveyor cable 3 by means of acceleration wheels 5, whereupon it is coupled to the conveyor cable 3 by means of the clamping device 4. The rope 3 is then used to move it to the area of the next stop.

Dadurch daß die Verzögerungs- bzw. Beschleunigungsräder 5 unterhalb des Fahrzeuges 2 angeordnet und um zumindest angenähert horizontale Achsen verdrehbar sind sowie an eine an der Unterseite des Fahrzeuges 2 angeordnete, zumindest angenähert horizontal ausgerichtete Kontaktfläche 6 zur Anlage kommen, können Haltestellen auch in Bereichen von gekrümmten Abschnitten der Bahn angeordnet sein, ohne daß hierdurch Schwierigkeiten bei der Verzögerung oder der Beschleunigung der Fahrzeuge bedingt werden bzw. aufwendige technische Maßnahmen getroffen werden müssen, um einen ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb zu gewährleisten.
