Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb einer Seilbahnanlage mit mindestens einem zwischen einer Talstation und einer Bergstation bewegbaren Trag- und Förderseil, welches in den Stationen über Umlenkscheiben geführt ist und mit an das Trag- und Förderseil ankuppelbaren Fahrbetriebsmitteln, welche in den Stationen vom Förderseil abgekuppelt, längs Führungsschienen durch in den Stationen befindliche Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiche hindurch bewegt und in der Folge wieder an das Förderseil angekuppelt werden. Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft weiters eine Seilbahnanlage zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens.The subject invention relates to a method for operating a cable car system with at least one between a valley station and a mountain station movable carrying and hoisting rope, which in the stations over deflection pulleys is guided and can be coupled to the support and hoisting rope Means of transport which are uncoupled from the hoisting rope in the stations, along guide rails through entry and exit areas located in the stations moved through and then coupled again to the hoisting rope become. The subject invention further relates to a cable car system to carry out this process.

Es ist aus dem Stand der Technik, z.B. aus der FR-A-2752803 bekannt, in den Stationen einer Seilbahnanlage die Fahrbetriebsmittel vom Trag- und Förderseil abzukuppeln und sie durch die Stationen mit gegenüber der Geschwindigkeit des Förderseiles wesentlich verminderter Geschwindigkeit hindurch zu bewegen, wodurch sie von den Passagieren bestiegen oder verlassen werden können.It is known in the art, e.g. from FR-A-2752803, in the Stations of a cable car system the driving equipment from the support and hoisting rope uncouple them and through the stations with respect to the speed the delivery rope substantially reduced speed through to move, allowing passengers to board or leave can.

Soferne dabei die Fahrbetriebsmittel sowohl durch Kabinen als auch durch Sessel gebildet sind, besteht im Hinblick darauf, dass sich Nicht-Skifahrer mit einer wesentlich geringeren Geschwindigkeit bewegen als Skifahrer, das Erfordernis, die Einstiegsbereiche bzw. Ausstiegsbereiche der Nicht-Skifahrer einerseits und der Skifahrer andererseits voneinander zu trennen.Unimagined thereby the driving means both by cabs and by Armchairs are formed in terms of being non-skiers a much slower pace than skiers, the need to the entry areas or exit areas of non-skiers on the one hand and the skier on the other hand, to separate.

Aus der FR-A-2525169 ist weiters eine Seilbahnanlage bekannt, welche sowohl mit Kabinen für Nicht-Skifahrer als auch mit Sesseln für Skifahrer ausgebildet ist, wobei in den Stationen voneinander getrennte Einstiegsbereiche und Ausstiegsbereiche für die Nicht-Skifahrer und für die Skifahrer vorgesehen sind. Diese bekannte Seilbahnanlage entspricht jedoch deshalb keinesfalls den Erfordernissen, da die Fahrbetriebsmittel an das Trag- und Förderseil fest angekuppelt sind, wobei sie mittels desselben durch die Stationen hindurch bewegt werden. Dies bedeutet jedoch, dass es nicht möglich ist, das Trag- und Förderseil während des gesamten Betriebes der Seilbahnanlage mit einer sehr großen Fördergeschwindigkeit zu bewegen. Vielmehr muss das Trag- und Förderseil jedenfalls in denjenigen Zeiträumen, in welchen die Kabinen von den Nicht-Skifahrern bestiegen oder von diesen verlassen werden, mit einer solchen geringen Geschwindigkeit bewegt werden, bei welcher deren Besteigen oder Verlassen durch die Nicht-Skifahrer möglich ist. Dies bedingt jedoch eine äußerst geringe Förderkapazität, aufgrund welcher den Erfordernissen eines modernen Seilbahnbetriebes keinesfalls entsprochen ist.
Dieser Nachteil wird bei bekannten Seilbahnanlagen dadurch vermieden, dass die Fahrbetriebsmittel in den Stationen vom Trag- und Förderseil abgekuppelt werden, wobei sie durch die Stationen mit einer gegenüber der Geschwindigkeit des Trag- und Förderseiles wesentlich geringeren Geschwindigkeit hindurch bewegt werden.
From FR-A-2525169 a ropeway system is known, which is designed both with cabins for non-skiers and with armchairs for skiers, wherein in the stations separate entrance areas and exit areas for the non-skiers and for the skiers are provided , However, this known cableway system therefore does not meet the requirements, since the driving resources are firmly coupled to the support and hoist rope, being moved by the same through the stations. However, this means that it is not possible to move the support and hoisting rope during the entire operation of the cable car system with a very high conveying speed. On the contrary, at least in those periods in which the cabins are boarded or left by the non-skiers, the carrying and hauling rope must be moved at such a low speed that it is possible for the non-skiers to climb or leave it. However, this requires an extremely low production capacity, due to which the requirements of modern cable car operation is by no means met.
This disadvantage is avoided in known cable car systems in that the driving resources are uncoupled in the stations of the support and hoisting rope, being moved through the stations with a relation to the speed of the support and hoisting rope much lower speed through.

Dabei ist jedoch weiters zu berücksichtigen, dass die Kabinen zur Beförderung der Nicht-Skifahrer durch die Stationen in kleinen Abständen voneinander hindurch bewegt werden können, wobei sie mit einer so geringen Geschwindigkeit bewegt werden müssen, dass sie von den Nicht-Skifahrern bestiegen oder verlassen werden können, wogegen die Sessel für die Beförderung der Skifahrer in den Stationen deshalb einen wesentlich größeren Abstand voneinander aufweisen müssen, dass die Skifahrer beim Besteigen oder beim Verlassen der Sessel durch einen vorangehenden oder durch einen nachfolgenden Sessel nicht behindert werden.However, it is further to be considered that the cabins for carriage the non-skier through the stations at small distances from each other can be moved through, passing at such a slow speed have to be moved that they climbed from the non-skiers or leave, while the chair for the carriage of skiers in the stations therefore a much greater distance from each other that skiers have to climb or leave the chair by a preceding or by a subsequent chair not hindered.

Diesen Erfordernissen wird patentgemäß dadurch entsprochen, dass die Fahrbetriebsmittel durch Kabinen und durch Sessel gebildet sind, weiters dass die in den Stationen vorgesehenen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiche in jeweils zwei voneinander getrennte, in Bewegungsrichtung des Förderseiles aufeinanderfolgende Sektoren unterteilt sind, wobei ein erster Sektor für die Benützer der Kabinen sowie ein zweiter Sektor für die Benützer der Sessel bestimmt ist, dass sich in der Talstation der erste Sektor des Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiches für die Nicht-Skifahrer in Bewegungsrichtung der Fahrbetriebsmittel vor dem zweiten Sektor für die Skifahrer befindet sowie dass in der Talstation die Fahrbetriebsmittel durch den ersten Sektor mit einer solchen Geschwindigkeit hindurchbewegt werden, dass sie von den Nicht-Skifahrern bestiegen werden können, worauf die Geschwindigkeit der Fahrbetriebsmittel, nachdem sie den ersten Sektor verlassen haben, erhöht wird, mit welcher Geschwindigkeit die Sessel im zweiten Sektor an die Skifahrer heranbewegt werden, wobei durch die Erhöhung der Geschwindigkeit der Fahrbetriebsmittel deren Abstand voneinander vergrößert wird.These requirements are met in accordance with the patent that the driving resources are formed by cabins and by armchairs, further that the In the stations provided entry and exit areas in two of each other separate, consecutive in the direction of movement of the hoisting rope Sectors, with a first sector for the users of the cabins as well as a second sector intended for the users of the armchairs is that the first sector of the entry and exit area for the Non-skier in moving direction of the driving resources before the second Skiing sector is located, as well as the means of transport in the valley station moved through the first sector at such a speed will be climbed by non-skiers can, after which the speed of the driving means, after the first sector is increased, at what speed the Armchairs in the second sector are moved up to the skiers, passing through increasing the speed of the driving means their distance from each other is enlarged.

Vorzugsweise werden die Fahrbetriebsmittel im ersten Sektor mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0.25m/sec und im zweiten Sektor mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 1 m/sec bewegt. Preferably, the driving resources in the first sector become one speed of about 0.25m / sec and in the second sector at a speed moved from about 1 m / sec.

Eine Seilbahnanlage, mittels welcher dieses Betriebsverfahren ausführbar ist, weist mindestens ein zwischen einer Talstation und einer Bergstation bewegbares Trag- und Förderseil auf, welches in den Stationen über Umlenkscheiben geführt ist und weiters an das Trag- und Förderseil ankuppelbare Fahrbetriebsmittel, welche in den Stationen vom Förderseil abkuppelbar, mittels Förderrädern längs Führungsschienen durch in den Stationen befindliche Einund Ausstiegsbereiche hindurch bewegbar und in der Folge an das Förderseil ankuppelbar sind, auf, wobei patentgemäß die Fahrbetriebsmittel durch Kabinen und durch Sessel gebildet sind, weiters die in den Stationen vorgesehenen Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiche in jeweils zwei voneinander getrennte, in Bewegungsrichtung aufeinanderfolgende Sektoren unterteilt sind, wobei ein erster Sektor für die Benützer der Kabinen und ein zweiter Sektor für die Benützer der Sessel bestimmt ist, wobei sich in der Talstation der erste Sektor des Einund Ausstiegsbereiches für die Nicht-Skifahrer in Bewegungsrichtung der Fahrbetriebsmittel vor dem zweiten Sektor für die Skifahrer befindet und dass die im Bereich der Talstation vorgesehenen Förderräder mit Übersetzungen ausgebildet sind, durch welche die Geschwindigkeit der Kabinen und der Sessel, nachdem diese den ersten Sektor des Einstiegsbereiches verlassen haben, erhöht wird.A cableway installation by means of which this method of operation can be carried out, has at least one movable between a valley station and a mountain station Carrying and hoisting rope, which in the stations over deflection pulleys is guided and further can be coupled to the support and hoisting rope driving resources, which in the stations can be uncoupled from the rope, by means of conveyor wheels along guide rails through stations located in the stations Exit areas through movable and subsequently to the hoisting rope can be coupled to, according to the patent according to the driving means by cabins and are formed by armchairs, further provided in the stations Entry and exit areas in two separate, in the direction of movement sub sequential sectors are divided, with a first Sector for the users of the cabins and a second sector for the users the armchair is determined, whereby in the valley station the first sector of the Einund Exit area for non-skiers in the direction of movement of the Driving equipment located in front of the second sector for skiers and that the provided in the valley station conveyor wheels with translations are formed by which the speed of the cabins and the chair, after leaving the first sector of the boarding area, is increased.

Vorzugsweise befindet sich in der Bergstation der zweite Sektor des Ausstiegsbereiches für die Skifahrer in Bewegungsrichtung der Fahrbetriebsmittel vor dem ersten Sektor des Ausstiegs- und Einstiegsbereiches für die Nicht-Skifahrer. Weiters sind vorzugsweise die Sektoren der Einstiegsbereiche über jeweils zugeordnete Zutrittsschranken zugänglich. Weiters ist vorzugsweise die Öffnung der Zutrittsschranken zu den beiden Sektoren in Abhängigkeit von der Art des sich jeweils in den betreffenden Sektor hineinbewegenden Fahrbetriebsmittels steuerbar.
Dabei kann die Zutrittsschranke für den in der Talstation befindlichen zweiten Sektor in an sich bekannter Weise in Abhängigkeit von der Bewegung der Sessel steuerbar sein. Schließlich sind vorzugsweise in der Talstation bzw. in der Bergstation Einrichtungen vorgesehen, durch welche das Öffnen und das Schließen der Türen der Kabinen in den ersten Sektoren der Ein- und Ausstiegsbereiche und das Öffnen und Schließen von Abdeckhauben der Sessel in den zweiten Sektoren bewirkbar sind.
Preferably, in the mountain station, the second sector of the exit area for the skiers is in the direction of travel of the driving means before the first sector of the exit and entry area for the non-skiers. Furthermore, the sectors of the entry areas are preferably accessible via respectively assigned entry barriers. Furthermore, the opening of the entry barriers to the two sectors is preferably controllable in dependence on the type of driving means moving into the respective sector.
In this case, the entry barrier for the second sector located in the valley station can be controlled in a manner known per se as a function of the movement of the chairs. Finally, facilities are preferably provided in the valley station or in the mountain station, by which the opening and closing of the doors of the cabins in the first sectors of the entry and exit areas and the opening and closing of covers of the chair in the second sectors are effected.

In der in Fig.1 dargestellten Talstation der Seilbahnanlage befinden sich ein erster Sektor 1 des Ausstiegs- und Einstiegsbereiches für solche Benützer, welche keine Skier angeschnallt haben, und ein zweiter Sektor des Einstiegsbereiches für Skifahrer. Das Trag- und Förderseil 3 der Seilbahnanlage ist in der Talstation über eine Umlenktrommel 30 geführt. An das Trag- und Förderseil 3 sind in beliebiger Aufeinanderfolge einerseits Kabinen 31, welche für die Benützung durch solche Personen, welche keine Skier angeschnallt haben, und andererseits Sessel 32, welche für die Benützung durch Skifahrer vorgesehen sind, angekuppelt.In the valley station of the cable car system shown in Figure 1 are located first sector 1 of the exit and entry area for such users, which no skis strapped on, and a second sector of the boarding area for skiers. The carrying and conveying cable 3 of the cable car system is in the valley station over a tail pulley 30 out. To the carrying and conveying rope 3 are in any sequence on the one hand cabins 31, which for the Use by persons who have not worn skis, and on the other hand armchair 32, which is intended for use by skiers are coupled.

Die in die Talstation einfahrenden Kabinen 31 bzw. Sessel 32 werden, nachdem sie vom Trag- und Förderseil 3 abgekuppelt worden sind, längs einer Führungsschiene 4 mit einer gegenüber der Geschwindigkeit des Trag- und Förderseiles 3 verminderten Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0,25 m/sec bewegt, wobei sie von Passagieren bestiegen bzw. verlassen werden können.The entering into the valley station cabins 31 and armchair 32 are, after they have been disconnected from the support and hoist rope 3, along a guide rail 4 with respect to the speed of the support and hoisting rope 3 reduced speed of about 0.25 m / sec moves, wherein they can be boarded or left by passengers.

Hierfür ist in Bewegungsrichtung des Trag- und Förderseiles 3 der erste Sektor 1 des Ausstiegs- und Einstiegsbereiches vorgesehen, welcher durch eine über einen Zugang 11 betretbare Plattform 10 gebildet ist, auf welcher die Nicht-Skifahrer auf die in die Talstation einfahrende Kabine 31 warten. Den Kabinen 31 ist in der Einfahrt in die Talstation eine erste Einrichtung 41 zugeordnet, durch welche deren Türen geöffnet werden. In der Kabine 31 befindliche Passagieren gelangen auf die Plattform 10 und können diese über einen Abgang 12 verlassen. In der Folge können auf der Plattform 10 wartende Passagiere die Kabine 31 besteigen. Am Ende der Plattform 10 ist eine zweite Einrichtung 42 vorgesehen, durch welche die Türen der Kabine 31 geschlossen werden. Nachdem die Kabine 31 längs der Führungsschiene 4 durch die Talstation hindurchbewegt worden ist, wird sie an das Trag- und Förderseil 3 wieder angekuppelt. For this purpose, in the direction of movement of the supporting and conveying cable 3, the first sector 1 of the exit and entry area provided, which by a formed via an access 11 enterable platform 10, on which the Non-skiers wait for the cabin 31 entering the valley station. The Cabins 31 is associated with a first device 41 in the entrance to the valley station, through which their doors are opened. Located in the cabin 31 Passengers get on the platform 10 and can this over a Exit 12. As a result, 10 passengers waiting on the platform can board the cabin 31. At the end of the platform 10 is a second device 42, through which the doors of the cab 31 are closed become. After the cabin 31 along the guide rail 4 through the valley station has been moved through, it is to the support and hoisting rope. 3 hitched again.

In analoger Weise werden auch die in die Talstation einfahrenden Sessel 32 vom Trag- und Förderseil 3 abgekuppelt und längs der Führungsschiene 4 durch die Talstation hindurchbewegt. Im Bereich der Einfahrt in die Talstation ist eine dritte Einrichtung 43 vorgesehen, durch welche die Abdeckhauben der Sessel 32 in ihre Offenstellung gebracht werden. Die Sessel 32 werden durch den ersten Sektor 1 des Einstiegsbereiches hindurchbewegt und werden zum zweiten Sektor 2 hin bewegt. Die Skifahrer gelangen über eine Zufahrt 21 und durch eine von der Bewegung der Sessel 32 gesteuerte Zugangsschranke 22 hindurch in den zweiten Sektor 2, in welchem sich die Sessel 32 an die Skifahrer von hinten annähern, worauf diese auf die Sessel 32 aufsitzen können. Im Ausfahrtsbereich ist eine vierte Einrichtung 44 vorgesehen, durch welche die Abdeckhauben der Sessel 32 dann automatisch in ihre Schließlage gebracht werden, soferne die Sessel 32 nicht besetzt sind. In der Folge werden die Sessel 32 wiederum an das Trag- und Förderseil 3 angekuppelt, wodurch sie zur Bergstation gefördert werden. Im Bereich der Bahn der Fahrbetriebsmittel befindet sich zudem ein erster Sensor 51, durch welchen bei der Vorbeifahrt eines Sessels 32 die Zutrittsschranke 22 geöffnet wird und ein zweiter Sensor 52, durch welchen geprüft wird, daß sich die Türen der Kabinen 31 in ihrer Schließlage befinden.In an analogous way, the retracting into the valley station chair 32 uncoupled from the support and hoisting rope 3 and along the guide rail. 4 moved through the valley station. In the area of the entrance to the valley station a third means 43 is provided, through which the covers of the Armchair 32 are brought into their open position. The armchairs 32 are going through the first sector 1 of the boarding area moved through and become the second sector 2 moves. The skiers arrive via a driveway 21 and by an access barrier 22 controlled by the movement of the chair 32 through in the second sector 2, in which the armchair 32 to the skier approach from behind, whereupon they can sit on the chair 32. in the Exit area is a fourth means 44 provided by which the Covers the armchair 32 then automatically brought into its closed position be, if the armchairs 32 are not occupied. As a result, the armchairs become 32 in turn coupled to the support and hoisting rope 3, whereby they to Be funded mountain station. In the area of the railway of the driving resources There is also a first sensor 51, through which when passing a chair 32, the access barrier 22 is opened and a second sensor 52, by which it is checked that the doors of the cabins 31 in their Closing position are.

Da die Kabinen 31 und die Sessel 32 durch den ersten Sektor 1 mit einer Geschwindigkeit von etwa 0.25m/sec hindurchbewegt werden, können die Kabinen 31 von den auf der Plattform 10 wartenden Passagieren bestiegen werden.Since the cabins 31 and the armchairs 32 pass through the first sector 1 at a speed can be moved through by about 0.25m / sec, the cabins 31 are boarded by the waiting on the platform 10 passengers.

Wie dies zudem in Fig.1a angedeutet ist, sind die im Bereich der Talstation vorgesehen Förderräder 45 mit Übersetzungen 46 ausgebildet, durch welche die Geschwindigkeit der Kabinen 31 und der Sessel 32, nachdem diese den ersten Sektor 1 des Einstiegsbereiches verlassen haben, auf etwa 1m/sec erhöht wird. Demnach werden die Sessel 32 im zweiten Sektor 2 an die Skifahrer mit dieser Geschwindigkeit heranbewegt. Durch die Erhöhung der Fördergeschwindigkeit wird der Abstand der einzelnen Fahrbetriebsmittel 32 und 31 voneinander vergrößert.As this is also indicated in Fig.1a, which are in the valley station provided conveying wheels 45 formed with translations 46, through which the speed of the cabins 31 and the armchair 32, after having the first sector 1 of the boarding area, increased to about 1m / sec becomes. Accordingly, the armchair 32 in the second sector 2 to the skier moved up at this speed. By increasing the conveying speed becomes the distance of the individual driving resources 32 and 31 enlarged from each other.

Wie dies aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist, liegt in der Bergstation eine der Talstation weitgehend übereinstimmende konstruktive Gestaltung vor. Auch in der Bergstation ist das Trag- und Förderseil 3 über eine Umlenkscheibe 30a geführt, werden die Kabinen 31 und Sessel 32 nach ihrer Abkupplung vom Trag- und Förderseil 3 längs einer Führungsschiene 4a durch die Bergstation hindurch bewegt und sind gleichfalls Einrichtungen 41a, 42a, 43a, 44a zum Öffnen und Schließen der Türen der Kabinen 31 bzw. von Abdeckhauben der Schließbügel 32 vorgesehen.As can be seen from Figure 2, located in the mountain station one of the valley station largely consistent constructive design before. Also in the mountain station the carrying and conveying cable 3 is guided over a deflection pulley 30a, be the cabins 31 and armchair 32 after its uncoupling of the support and Conveyor rope 3 along a guide rail 4a through the top station are moved and are also means 41 a, 42 a, 43 a, 44 a for opening and Closing the doors of the cabins 31 or of the hoods of the striker 32 provided.

Unterschiedlich zur Talstation ist jedoch die Aufeinanderfolge der Sektoren 2a für den Abstieg der Skifahrer von den Sesseln 32 und den Ausstieg bzw. den nachfolgenden Einstieg der Nicht-Skifahrer aus den bzw. in die Kabinen 31 in Bewegungsrichtung der Kabinen 31 und der Sessel 32 so angeordnet, daß sich der Sektor 1a für die Nicht-Skifahrer in Bewegungsrichtung des Trag- und Förderseiles 3 hinter dem Sektor 2a für den Abstieg der Skifahrer befindet.Different from the valley station, however, is the succession of sectors 2a for the descent of the skiers from the armchairs 32 and the exit or the subsequent entry of non-skiers from or into the cabins 31 in Direction of movement of the cabins 31 and the armchair 32 arranged so that the sector 1a for non-skiers in the direction of movement of the support and Rope 3 is located behind the sector 2a for the descent of the skier.

Da es jedoch nur maßgeblich ist, daß die Sektoren 1 bzw. 1a und 2 bzw. 2a der Einstiegsbereiche bzw. der Ausstiegsbereiche für die Nicht-Skifahrer und für die Skifahrer in Bewegungsrichtung der Kabinen 31 und der Sessel 32 aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet sind, um zu gewährleisten, daß die beiden Gruppen der Passagiere, welche sich in unterschiedlicher Weise fortbewegen, einander nicht behindern, besteht diesbezüglich keine zwingende Beschränkung.However, since it is only relevant that Sectors 1 or 1a and 2 or 2a of the Entry areas or exit areas for non-skiers and for the skiers in the direction of movement of the cabins 31 and the chair 32 in succession are arranged to ensure that the two groups of the passengers, who move in different ways, each other do not hinder, there is no mandatory restriction in this regard.
