Description

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft eine Seilbahnanlage mit mindestens zwei Stationen, weiters mit mindestens einem Trag- und Förderseil, welches in den Stationen um Umlenkscheiben geführt ist, von welchen zumindest eine angetrieben ist, und mit an das Trag- und Förderseil ankuppelbaren Fahrzeugen, wie Seilbahnkabinen oder Sessel, welche in den Stationen vom Trag- und Förderseil abkuppelbar und längs Führungsschienen durch die Stationen hindurch bewegbar sind, bzw. mit am Trag- und Förderseil befestigten Fahrzeugen, wobei die Fahrzeuge in den Stationen von den Passagieren bestiegen bzw. von diesen verlassen werden.The subject invention relates to a cable car system with at least two stations, further with at least one support and hoisting cable, which is guided in the stations around deflecting disks, of which at least one is driven, and with the carrier and conveyor rope can be coupled to vehicles, such as cable car cabins or Armchair, which can be uncoupled in the stations of the support and hoisting rope and along guide rails through the stations are movable, or with attached to the support and hoisting rope vehicles, the vehicles are in the stations of the passengers boarded or left by these.

Die gegenständliche Erfindung betrifft weiters eine Seilbahnanlage mit mindestens zwei Stationen und mit mindestens einem fest angeordneten Tragseil, auf welchem Fahrzeuge, wie Seilbahnkabinen oder Sessel, mittels mindestens eines Zugseiles zwischen den Stationen verfahrbar sind, wobei die Fahrzeuge in den Stationen von den Passagieren bestiegen bzw. von diesen verlassen werden.The subject invention further relates to a cable car system with at least two stations and at least one fixed support cable on which vehicles, such as cable car cabins or chairs, by means of at least one pull rope between the stations are movable, the vehicles in the stations of the passengers boarded or be abandoned by these.

Beim Betrieb von Seilbahnanlagen muss berücksichtigt werden, dass die Fahrzeuge aufgrund von Luftströmungen quer zur Fahrtrichtung Pendelbewegungen ausführen, deren Größe von den Richtungen und den Geschwindigkeiten der Luftströmungen abhängig ist. Ein besonderer Vorteil von solchen Seilbahnanlagen, welche mit zwei parallel angeordneten Tragseilen ausgebildet sind, besteht darin, dass die Fahrzeuge nur geringfügige Pendelbewegungen ausführen. Demgegenüber können bei solchen Seilbahnanlagen, welche mit nur einem Tragseil ausgebildet sind, bei großen und sehr großen Windgeschwindigkeiten so große Pendelbewegungen der Fahrzeuge auftreten, dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Fahrzeuge mit Stationsgebäuden, mit Stützen der Seilbahnanlage oder mit entgegen bewegten Fahrzeugen kollidieren, weswegen das Erfordernis besteht, die Geschwindigkeit der Fahrzeuge zu vermindern oder den Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage einzustellen.When operating cableway installations, it must be borne in mind that due to air currents transversely to the direction of travel, the vehicles are subject to oscillations whose size depends on the directions and velocities of the air currents. A particular advantage of such cableway systems, which are formed with two parallel support cables, is that the vehicles perform only slight oscillations. In contrast, in such cableway systems, which are designed with only one suspension cable, so large pendulum movements of the vehicles occur at large and very high wind speeds, that there is a risk that the vehicles collide with station buildings, with supports the cable car system or with oppositely moving vehicles, therefore the requirement is to reduce the speed of the vehicles or to stop the operation of the cableway system.

Bei bisher bekannten Seilbahnanlagen obliegt es dem Betriebswart der Seilbahnanlage abzuschätzen, ob die Pendelbewegungen der Fahrzeuge quer zur Fahrtrichtung so gering sind, dass keine Gefahr von Kollisionen besteht oder ob dies nicht der Fall ist, weswegen die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Fahrzeuge verringert oder der Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage eingestellt werden muss. Hierbei ist jedoch zu berücksichtigen, dass eine optische Überwachung der gesamten Seilbahnanlage aufgrund der topografischen Gegebenheiten in der Regel nicht möglich ist und dass weiters die Sichtverhältnisse von den klimatischen Bedingungen abhängig sind, da sie z.B. bei Schneefall bzw. bei Nebel sehr verschlechtert sind. Zudem ist zu berücksichtigen, dass längs der Trasse der Seilbahnanlage sehr unterschiedliche Luftströmungen auftreten können, weswegen die in einzelnen Bereichen bestehenden Windgeschwindigkeiten für die gesamte Seilbahnanlage sehr wenig maßgeblich sind.In previously known cable car installations, it is up to the operational maintenance of the cableway system to estimate whether the pendulum movements of the vehicles transverse to the direction of travel are so low that there is no risk of collisions or if this is not the case, which is why the driving speed of the vehicles is reduced or the operation of the cable car facility is discontinued must become. Here, however, it should be noted that an optical monitoring of the entire cable car system due to the topographical conditions is usually not possible and that further the visibility of are dependent on the climatic conditions, as they are very deteriorated eg in snowfall or fog. In addition, it should be noted that along the route of the cable car system very different air currents can occur, which is why in some areas existing wind speeds for the entire cable car system are very relevant.

Anders ausdgedrückt können die strömungstechnischen Bedingungen längs der Seilbahnanlage sehr unterschiedlich sein, weswegen längs der Seilbahnanlage die Pendelbewegungen der einzelnen Fahrzeuge und demnach die Gefahr von Kollisionen gleichfalls sehr unterschiedlich sein können und durch eine Überwachung von den Stationen aus sehr schwer abschätzbar sind.In other words, the fluidic conditions along the cableway system can be very different, which is why the pendulum movements of the individual vehicles along the cableway system and thus the risk of collisions can also be very different and are very difficult to estimate by monitoring from the stations.

Aus der EP 1837264 A2 ist ein Verfahren zur Steuerung des Betriebes einer Seilbahnanlage bekannt, bei welcher mittels Sensoren die Neigungslagen von Fahrzeugen gemessen werden und bei Überschreiten von Grenzwerten der Neigungslagen die Geschwindigkeit des Trag- und Förderseiles gesteuert wird. Bei dieser bekannten Seilbahnanlage ist jedoch nicht berücksichtigt, dass die Neigungslagen der Fahrzeuge auch in bezug auf den Abstand von Stützen bzw. den Abstand von einer Station von Bedeutung ist, da insbesondere Kollisionen mit Stützen bzw. den Stationsgebäuden vermieden werden sollen.From the EP 1837264 A2 a method for controlling the operation of a cable car system is known in which the inclination positions of vehicles are measured by means of sensors and the speed of the carrying and conveying cable is controlled when limit values of the inclination positions are exceeded. In this known cable car installation, however, it is not taken into account that the inclination positions of the vehicles are also significant with respect to the distance of supports or the distance from a station, since in particular collisions with supports or the station buildings are to be avoided.

Die US-A- 3,348,499 offenbart eine oberbergriffs gemäβe Seilbahnanlage, die eine stationäre Einrichtung zur Erfassung der Pendelbewegungen aufweist (Sp.4, Z. 16-25) Aus der JP 63279962 ist weiters eine Seilbahnanlage bekannt, bei welcher die Entfernung der Fahrzeuge von einer Station durch Berechnung ermittelt und die Neigungslagen gemessen werden. Eine Berechnung der Positionen von Fahrzeugen ist jedoch einerseits aufwändig und erfordert andererseits zusätzliche Kontrolleinrichtungen.The US-A-3,348,499 discloses a oberbergriffs according to cable car system, which has a stationary device for detecting the oscillations (Sp.4, Z. 16-25) From the JP 63279962 Furthermore, a cable car system is known, in which the distance of the vehicles from a station determined by calculation and the inclination positions are measured. However, a calculation of the positions of vehicles is on the one hand complex and on the other hand requires additional control devices.

Der gegenständlichen Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese bei bekannten Seilbahnanlagen auftretenden Nachteile zu vermeiden. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erzielt, dass den Fahrzeugen längs der Strecke der Seilbahnanlage mindestens eine Einrichtung zugeordnet ist, durch welche einerseits die Entfernung der Fahrzeuge von dieser Einrichtung und andererseits die Größen der von deren quer zur Fahrtrichtung erfolgenden Pendelbewegungen erfassbar sind, und dass der bei einem vorgegebenen Abstand der Fahrzeuge von dieser Einrichtung auftretende Messwert der Pendelbewegungen zur Steuerung des Antriebes der Seilbahnanlage herangezogen wird.The subject invention is therefore based on the object to avoid these disadvantages occurring in known cableway systems. This is inventively achieved in that the vehicles along the route of the cable car system is associated with at least one device by which on the one hand, the removal of the vehicles of this device and on the other hand, the sizes of their transversely to the direction of travel pendulum movements are detected, and that at a predetermined distance of the vehicles from this device occurring measured value of the oscillations is used to control the drive of the cable car system.

Vorzugsweise ist den sich längs der Strecke bewegenden Fahrzeugen mindestens ein Sensor, insbesondere ein Laserscanner bzw. eine elektronische Kamera, zugeordnet, durch welchen einerseits die Entfernung der Fahrzeuge vom Sensor und andererseits die Größen der von deren quer zur Fahrtrichtung erfolgenden Pendelbewegungen erfassbar sind, und wird der bei einem vorgegebenen Abstand der Fahrzeuge vom Sensor auftretende Messwert der Pendelbewegungen zur Steuerung des Antriebes der Seilbahnanlage herangezogen. Insbesondere ist im Bereich der Stationen ein Sensor vorgesehen, durch welchen die Pendelbewegungen des sich annähernden Fahrbetriebsmittels erfassbar sind.At least one sensor, in particular a laser scanner or an electronic camera, is assigned to the vehicles moving along the route, by means of which the removal of the vehicles from the sensor and the sizes of the pendulum movements transverse to the direction of travel can be detected the measured value of the pendulum movements occurring at a given distance of the vehicles from the sensor for controlling the drive of the cable car system used. In particular, a sensor is provided in the region of the stations, by means of which the pendulum movements of the approaching driving means can be detected.

Vorzugsweise wird derjenige Messwert der Pendelbewegungen zur Steuerung des Antriebes herangezogen, welcher dann auftritt, wenn sich das Fahrzeug in einem Abstand von etwa 20 m bis 30 m von der Einfahrt in eine Station entfernt befindet. Vorzugsweise wird bei Überschreiten eines vorgegebenen Messwertes der Pendelbewegungen die Seilbahnanlage abgeschaltet. Alternativ dazu kann bei Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen ersten Größe des Messwertes der Pendelbewegungen der Antrieb für die Seilbahnanlage so gesteuert werden, dass die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Fahrbetriebsmittel verringert wird und wird bei überschreiten einer vorgegebenen zweiten Größe des Messwertes der Antrieb für die Seilbahnanlage abgeschaltet. Weiters kann mit ansteigenden Größen der Pendelbewegungen der Antrieb für die Seilbahnanlage so gesteuert werden, dass die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Fahrzeuge vermindert wird.Preferably, that measured value of the pendulum movements is used to control the drive, which occurs when the vehicle is located at a distance of about 20 m to 30 m from the entrance to a station. Preferably, when a predetermined measured value of the pendulum movements is exceeded, the cable car system is switched off. Alternatively, when exceeding a predetermined first size of the measured value of the pendulum movements of the drive for the cable car system can be controlled so that the driving speed of the driving resources is reduced and is switched off when exceeding a predetermined second size of the measured value of the drive for the cable car system. Furthermore, with increasing sizes of the pendulum movements of the drive for the cable car system can be controlled so that the driving speed of the vehicles is reduced.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

FIG.1
eine Station einer Seilbahnanlage, welche mit einem Sensor ausgebildet ist, durch welchen die Größen der Pendelbewegungen der in diese Station einfah- renden Fahrzeuge erfassbar sind, in axonometrischer Darstellung.
The object of the invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows:
FIG.1
a station of a cable car system, which is formed with a sensor, by which the sizes of the oscillations of the vehicles driving into this station can be detected, in axonometric representation.

In FIG.1 ist eine Station einer Seilbahnanlage dargestellt. Diese Seilbahnanlage weist ein Trag- und Förderseil 1 auf, welches in den Stationen über Umlenkscheiben 2 geführt ist, wobei zumindest eine dieser Umlenkscheiben 2 angetrieben ist. An das Trag- und Förderseil 1 sind längs der Strecke der Seilbahnanlage beliebig viele Seilbahnkabinen 3 angekuppelt, welche in den Stationen vom Trag- und Förderseil 1 abgekuppelt werden und welche hierauf mittels Förderreifen 4 längs Führungsschienen 5 mit einer gegenüber der Geschwindigkeit des Trag- und Förderseiles 1 wesentlich verminderten Geschwindigkeit durch die Station hindurch bewegt werden, in welcher sie von den Passagieren bestiegen bzw. von diesen verlassen werden können. Die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Seilbahnkabinen 3 längs der Strecke beträgt z.B. 6 m/sec, wogegen deren Fahrgeschwindigkeit im Einstiegs- bzw. Ausstiegsbereich etwa 0,15 m/sec bis 0,35 m/sec beträgt.In FIG.1 is a station of a cable car system shown. This cable car system has a support and hoisting cable 1, which is guided in the stations via deflecting pulleys 2, wherein at least one of these deflecting pulleys 2 is driven. To the support and hoisting rope 1 as many ropeway cabins 3 are coupled along the route of the cable car system, which are uncoupled in the stations of the support and hoisting rope 1 and which thereon by means of conveyor hoops 4 along guide rails 5 with respect to the speed of the support and hoisting rope 1 substantially reduced speed are moved through the station in which they can be climbed by the passengers or left by these. The driving speed of the cable car cabins 3 along the route is, for example, 6 m / sec, while their speed in the entry and exit area is about 0.15 m / sec to 0.35 m / sec.

Die Station kann weiters mit einem Dach 6 ausgebildet sein.The station may further be formed with a roof 6.

Wie dies in FIG.1 dargestellt ist, können die Seilbahnkabinen 3 aufgrund von hohen Windgeschwindigkeiten starke Pendelbewegungen quer zur Fahrtrichtung A ausführen, welche es erfordern, entweder den Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage einzustellen oder jedenfalls die Fahrgeschwindigkeit zu verringern, da die Gefahr von Kollisionen besteht. Um das Ausmaß der Pendelbewegungen derjenigen Seilbahnkabinen 3, welche in die Station einfahren, erfassen zu können, ist im Bereich der Station ein Sensor 7 vorgesehen, durch welchen einerseits die Entfernung der betreffenden Seilbahnkabine 3 von diesem Sensor 7 und andererseits die Größe der Pendelbewegung dieser Seilbahnkabine 3 quer zur Fahrtrichtung erfassbar sind. Der Sensor 7 ist insbesondere durch einen Laserscanner gebildet.Like this in FIG.1 is shown, the cable car cabins 3 due to high wind speeds strong oscillations transversely to the direction of A run, which require either to stop the operation of the cable car system or at least to reduce the driving speed, since there is a risk of collisions. In order to detect the extent of the pendulum movements of those cable car cabins 3, which enter the station, a sensor 7 is provided in the region of the station, by which on the one hand the removal of the cable car cabin 3 from this sensor 7 and on the other hand, the size of the pendulum motion of this cable car cabin 3 are detected transversely to the direction of travel. The sensor 7 is formed in particular by a laser scanner.

Durch den Sensor 7 wird die Größe der Pendelbewegung der betreffenden Seilbahnkabine 3 in einer vorgegebenen Entfernung B dieser Seilbahnkabine 3 von der Einfahrt in die Station erfasst. Sofern diese Größe einen vorgegebenen Wert überschreitet, wird die Seilbahnanlage abgeschaltet. Gemäß einer Ausführungsvariante wird dann, sobald die Größe der Pendelbewegung einen ersten vorgegebenen Wert überschreitet, der Antrieb für die Seilbahnanlage dahingehend gesteuert, dass die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Seilbahnkabinen 3 vermindert wird. Sofern hingegen die Größe der Pendelbewegungen einen zweiten vorgegebenen Wert überschreitet, wird der Betrieb der Seilbahnanlage eingestellt.By the sensor 7, the size of the pendulum movement of the cable car cabin 3 in question is detected at a predetermined distance B of this cable car cabin 3 from the entrance to the station. If this size exceeds a predetermined value, the cable car system is switched off. According to one embodiment, as soon as the magnitude of the pendulum movement exceeds a first predetermined value, the drive for the cable car installation is controlled such that the travel speed of the cable car cabins 3 is reduced. If, on the other hand, the size of the pendulum movements exceeds a second predetermined value, the operation of the cableway system is discontinued.

Um weiters auch die Pendelbewegungen der sich längs der Strecke der Seilbahnanlage befindlichen Seilbahnkabinen 3 erfassen zu können, sind vorzugsweise längs der Strecke weitere Sensoren, insbesondere Laserscanner, vorgesehen, welche sich z.B. auf den Stützen der Seilbahnanlage befinden und durch welche die Pendelbewegungen der sich zu diesen Sensoren hin bewegenden bzw. sich von diesen wegbewegenden Seilbahnkabinen erfassbar sind. Die Ausgangssignale der Sensoren sind an eine Steuereinheit geführt, durch welche die aufgrund der festgestellten Pendelbewegungen der Seilbahnkabinen erforderlichen Steuerungen des Antriebes für die Seilbahnanlage erfolgen.Furthermore, in order to be able to detect the oscillating movements of the cable car cabins 3 located along the route of the cableway installation, further sensors, in particular laser scanners, are provided along the route, which are e.g. are located on the supports of the cable car system and by which the pendulum movements of moving towards these sensors or away from these cable car cabins can be detected. The output signals of the sensors are guided to a control unit through which the required due to the observed oscillations of the cable car cabins controls the drive for the cable car system done.

Anstelle von Laserscannern können auch andere Arten von Sensoren, z.B. elektronische Kameras, vorgesehen sein.Instead of laser scanners, other types of sensors, e.g. electronic cameras, be provided.

Derartige Sensoren können bei Seilbahnanlagen mit kuppelbaren Fahrzeugen, weiters bei Seilbahnanlagen mit an das Förderseil fest angeklemmten Fahrzeugen und auch bei solchen Seilbahnanlagen, bei welchen die Fahrzeuge mittels Zugseilen längs Tragseilen verfahren werden, vorgesehen sein.Such sensors can be provided in cable car systems with detachable vehicles, further in cable car installations with vehicles firmly clamped to the hoist rope and also in those cable car installations in which the vehicles are moved by means of pull cables along suspension cables.

Hiermit sind Seilbahnanlagen geschaffen, durch welche eine von den jeweiligen Sichtverhältnissen unabhängige Erfassung der Pendelbewegungen der Fahrzeuge und eine von den jeweiligen strömungstechnischen Bedingungen längs der Seilbahnanlagen abhängige Steuerungen des Betriebes der Seilbahnanlagen ermöglicht werden.This ropeway systems are created by which independent of the respective visual conditions detection of the pendulum movements of the vehicles and one of the respective flow conditions along the cableway systems dependent controls of the operation of the cable car facilities are possible.
