Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for operating a cable car system with at least two cable car stations and with at least one self-contained hoisting rope running between the cable car stations, to which at least one cable car vehicle is coupled, or with at least one carrying cable on which at least one hauling cable is used Cable car is moved, wherein the at least one cable car is moved between the cable car stations by means of the hoisting rope or the pull rope, and with at least one cable car support over which the hoisting rope or the support rope and the pull rope are guided, with the driving positions of at least one by means of at least one measuring device Cable car vehicle can be determined along the routes, and the driving positions of the at least one cable car vehicle along the routes are transmitted to a control unit and processed and stored therein.
  • the present invention also relates to a cable car system for carrying out this operating method.
  • Such a method for operating a cable car system and such a cable car system are for example from AT 411 982 B known.
  • the object of the present invention is to create an operating method by means of which this risk is significantly reduced.
  • This is achieved according to the invention in that, by means of an input device located on the at least one cable car support, a signal is entered into the control unit to the effect that maintenance or assembly work, etc. is carried out on this cable car support, whereby the control unit when a cable car vehicle approaches the Cable car support the drive for the movement of the at least one cable car vehicle is regulated in such a way that the cable car vehicle is moved or stopped in the area of the cable car support at a speed that is greatly reduced compared to the operating speed.
  • a measuring device being provided by means of which the travel positions of the at least one cable car vehicle can be determined along the travel routes, and a control unit is also provided to which the travel positions of the at least one cable car vehicle can be transmitted along the travel routes and can be processed and stored therein according to the invention
  • An input device is provided on the at least one cable car support, by means of which a signal can be entered into the control unit to the effect that maintenance or assembly work, etc.
  • control unit being configured so that when a cable car vehicle approaches the cable car support the drive for the movement of the at least one cable car vehicle can be regulated to the effect that it is moved or stopped in the area of the cable car support at a speed that is greatly reduced compared to the operating speed.
  • FIG.1 a section of a cable car system 1 with a cable car station 11 and with a cable car support 12 is shown. Between the cable car station 11 and a further cable car station, not shown, there is a support cable 13 which is anchored in the cable car stations and which is guided over the cable car support 12. Cable car vehicles 15 can be moved on the support cable 13 by means of a pull cable 14.
  • the pull rope 14, which is self-contained and which is guided in the cable car stations over rope deflection sheaves and rope deflection sheaves, is moved in circulation at a speed of, for example, 7 m / sec.
  • the cable car vehicles 15 are uncoupled from the cable 14, moved through the cable car station in question, where they are boarded or left by the passengers, and then recoupled to the cable 14, whereupon they are moved to the other cable car station.
  • a hoisting rope can be provided to which cable car vehicles 15 are coupled.
  • the movement speeds of the at least one traction cable 14 or the at least one hoisting cable and thus the travel speeds of the cable car vehicles 15 and, on the other hand, the travel positions of the cable car vehicles 15 are determined and stored at all times during operation.
  • the pull rope 14 is guided in the cable car station 11 around a rope deflection pulley 2. Since the pull rope 14 is also guided around a deflection pulley in the other cable car station, it can be moved in circulation. At least one measuring device 3 is assigned to the pull rope 14, by means of which the respective speeds of the pull rope 14 and its movement lengths are measured. This allows the driving positions of the cable car vehicles 15 coupled to the pulling cable 14 and thus their distances from the cable car station 11 or from the cable car support 12 can be determined at any time.
  • a control unit 4 is also provided, into which the data of the movement sequences obtained by the measuring device 3 are input via lines 31 and are processed and stored therein.
  • input devices 5 are provided, through which the area in which maintenance can be entered via a line 51 or by radio into the control device 4 - or repair work is carried out.
  • a transmission device 6 is also provided, which is operated by the control unit 4 via a line 41.
  • FIG.3 there is a receiver 6a on the cable car 15 and a warning light 7 and / or an acoustic warning device 7a on the chassis 15a of the cable car 15, which are put into operation by the control unit 4 via the transmitter 6 and the receiver 6a.
  • a signal is input by the input device 5 via the line 51 to the control unit 4, which signal identifies the cable car support 12 in question.
  • a signal is transmitted to the cable car 15 via the transmitter 6 and the receiving device 6a which triggers the warning light 7 and / or the acoustic warning device 7a.
  • the operating personnel located on this cable car support 12 becomes aware of this made that a cable car vehicle approaches 15.
  • control unit 4 emits a control signal via a line 42 to the drive for the pull rope 14, by means of which the speed of movement of the pull rope 14 is greatly reduced. As soon as the cable car 15 has been moved past the cable car support 12, the speed of the pull cable 14 is brought back to the operating speed.
  • the drive for the pull cable 14 can be switched off by the control unit 4. As soon as the operating staff is secured, the drive for the traction cable 14 is switched on again, the cable car 15 is moved past the cable car support 12 and the operating speed is resumed.
  • This operating method and this cable car system ensure optimal protection of the operating personnel when carrying out maintenance or repair work.
