2. Description of the Related Art Cableway equipment is a pulling machine in which a rope such as a towline or a towline is stretched and circulated endlessly between pulleys disposed at a stop at both ends and a carrier is suspended. A rope is used to squeeze the rope, and the transport is carried out along with the movement of the rope, and it is widely known that the rope is frequently used for sightseeing on mountainous slopes, transport in ski resorts, and the like. In recent years, it has also attracted attention as a medium- or low-volume transportation system for urban or regional transportation. Of the cableway equipment with such a configuration, the most frequently used is a single-track automatic circulation cableway that uses only a single towline, but recently, it uses a two-wire towline and is relatively large. Automated circulating cableways using transport vehicles are also attracting attention.

A conventional example of a construction of a stop or a landing of such a single-track automatic circulation type cableway using a passenger carriage is as follows.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the arrangement of the stop equipment of the automatic circulation type cableway. Pulley 10 at stop 101
2 is pivoted, and the tow line or the cable 103 is introduced into the stop 101 from the cableway 108, is wound around the pulley 102, is inverted, and is guided again toward the cableway 108. In the stop 101, the route extends from the point A ', which is an unloading point, to the point H', which is a gripping point, through points B ', C', D ', E', F ', and G'. In addition, a rail 104 is suspended and fixed in a substantially “U” shape. This rail 104
A deceleration transfer device 105 is provided between points A 'and B' along the line, and an acceleration transfer device 106 is provided between points G 'and H'. A transporting device 107 is disposed along the rail 104 from point B 'to point G' via points C ', D', E ', and F'. Such a rail 1
Outside the section from point C 'to point D' in 04
21 is set, and a boarding point 122 is set outside the section substantially extending from the point E ′ to the point F ′. Carrier 11
0 indicates an arrow 1 along with the movement of the cable 103 from the cableway 108.
When the vehicle proceeds in the direction 09a and arrives at the stop 101, the towing machine 111 unloads the rope 103 near point A ', which is the unloading point, starts rolling along the rail 104, and the deceleration transfer device 105 As a result, the speed of the operation on the cableway 108 is reduced from full speed to slow speed. This deceleration operation is completed in the vicinity of point B ′, and then the towing machine 111
Is transported at a slow speed or a forwarding speed, is guided to turn, and is transported to and near point G '. Next, the vehicle is accelerated and transferred from the vicinity of the point G ′ to the same speed as the cable 103 by the acceleration transfer device 106, and the handgrip 11
1 squeezes the cable 103 and starts in the direction of the arrow 109b toward the cableway 108.

In the meantime, a drop-off spot 121 indicated by a dotted line is provided outside the straight or arc-shaped section substantially along the rail 104 between the points C ′ and D ′, and is provided here by the transporter 110 during the forward transfer. Passengers get off. Also, the rail 104
Along the outside of the straight or circular section between points E ′ and F ′, a landing 122 is provided. Here, as shown in FIG. Ride is performed.

[0006]

However, since the automatic circulation type cableway equipment up to now has been mainly used for transporting skiers in mountainous areas, particularly in mountainous snow areas, etc., the passengers are mainly healthy general passengers. Thus, even in the above-mentioned getting-on / off method of getting on and off the moving carrier, it is possible to safely get on and off, and there has been no particular problem so far.

However, as described above, in the case where the cableway facilities are to be used as transportation for urban or regional transportation in the future, not only ordinary passengers or healthy people but also so-called traffic such as elderly and wheelchair users. The weak must be able to get on and off safely. It is obvious that such passengers may be taken into consideration by temporarily stopping the vehicle and getting on and off.

[0008] However, as is well known, the automatic circulating cableway equipment is designed to maintain a required transportation capacity by operating small or relatively small carriers one after another at short departure intervals. However, when a specific carrier in a carrier queue is temporarily stopped, there is a problem that congestion occurs in a subsequent carrier and smooth circulation operation becomes impossible.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves such a problem and enables a specific passenger such as an elderly or a child or a wheelchair user to temporarily stop a specific carrier on which he / she has boarded, and to safely get on and off the vehicle. It is intended to propose an operation method that does not disturb the matching of the trains.

[0010]

According to the present invention, in accordance with the present invention, a rope circulating between both-end stops is used to grasp a carriage with a cable-handling machine, and the carriage is operated in a cableway line. In the field, the rope should be unloaded from the towing machine, guided to the main track and transferred to the carriage, and after passing through the deceleration section, the forwarding section, and the acceleration section, the rope should be squeezed again and departed into the cableway line. And perform passenger handling in the forwarding section,
In this way, the automatic circulation cableway facility without to cycle runs successively a plurality of carriage, said the forward section to join the branched again main rail in the forward section in the peripheral side from the main line rail the A short- circuit rail shorter than the length of the transporting section is provided, and the short- circuit rail is provided with a short-circuit transporting device capable of intermittent transfer, and is provided with a landing platform along the short-circuit rail. before for passengers getting on and off
The specific carriage to be temporarily stopped at the landing is branched from a row of continuously circulating traveling carriages to a short-circuit rail, stopped at the landing position, treated as a passenger, and then returned to the space between the rows of carriages again. This is a method of temporarily stopping the automatic circulation type cableway carrier.

[0011]

[Function] At the stop of the automatic circulation type cableway, the transporter that has grasped the cable and has traveled along the cableway line releases the cable from near the discharge point where the cable is released. The main line rail is suspended and fixed substantially in a “U” shape over a distance from the vicinity of the squeezing point starting from the track. Along this rail, there is a deceleration section with a deceleration transfer device on the arrival side of the transporter, an acceleration section with an acceleration transfer device on the departure side of the transporter, and between the deceleration section and the acceleration section. Is provided with a transport section provided with a transport device. A short-circuit rail is provided in an area inside the periphery of the carriage in the recirculation section, and the short-circuit rail forms a short-circuit path of the carriage that branches off from the main line rail and joins the main line rail again. In addition, along the short-circuit rail, there is provided a short-circuit forwarding / transporting device capable of interrupting the operation of the specific transporter, and along the short-circuit rail, a landing is provided.

[0012] The method of temporarily operating the automatic circulating cableway carrier according to the present invention is performed using the equipment having the above-described configuration. When a general carriage arrives at the bus stop from the cableway,
The tow of the towing machine is released, and the carriage rolls along the main track. First, in the deceleration section, the transporter is slowly decelerated by the deceleration transfer device, and then, in the recirculation section, is transported slowly by the redirection transfer device, and is guided and turned along the "U" -shaped curve of the main rail. Is done. In this forwarding section, the door of the transporter is opened, and the general passenger is disembarked from the transporting transporter, and boarded to the transporting transporter. After the carriage is closed, the carriage is accelerated to the same speed as the cable speed by the acceleration transfer device in the acceleration section, the rope is grasped by the handgrip, and the rope moves and departs into the cableway line. I do. The plurality of carriers successively perform the same operation as described above, and the carriers are continuously operated.

[0013] Next, when operating a specific carrier requiring a temporary stop, the specific carrier arriving at the stop is decelerated in the deceleration section after unloading the cable as in the case of the general carrier. At this point, the wire is inserted into the short-circuit rail, transported by the short-circuit transporting device, temporarily stopped at the platform position, and treated as an elderly child or a wheelchair passenger. A door corresponding to the landing is provided in the specific carrier corresponding to the landing, so that there is almost no step between the floor of the specific carrier and the landing. Therefore, getting on and off can be performed safely. When the getting on and off is completed, the specific carrier is forwarded again along the short-circuit rail, merged with the main rail at a junction with the main rail, and returned into the queue of the general transport.

Therefore, the circulation movement of the cableway can be smoothly continued without disturbing the alignment of the circulation operation of the carrier.

However, it is needless to say that they can be provided on the inner peripheral side if necessary. Requires that the opening direction of the door of the specific carrier 10A be on the opposite side.

The method for temporarily stopping the automatic circulating cableway carrier according to the present invention is performed by using the equipment or apparatus having the above-described configuration. Next, the operation and function of the operation method will be described below.

First, the transporters 10, 1 on which ordinary passengers board.
The operation of 0... Is performed in the same manner as the normal operation mode of the automatic circulation type cableway. When only the general transporters 10 are operated, the branching devices 32a and 32b are left in a fixed position, that is, the branching device 32a is moved in the direction from the point B to the point D of the main rail 4 through the point C. It is opened so that the transporter 10 can pass through. The branching device 32b is opened so that the transporter 10 can pass in the direction from the point E to the point G of the main rail 4 through the point F. Further, the short-circuit transport device 33 in the short-circuit section 30 is set to the “disconnected” state by the drive intermittent means 35, and the transfer wheels 34 of the short-circuit transport device 33,
34 ... is to be stopped.

The carriage 10 grasps the rope 3 by the rope pulling machine 11, travels along the cableway 8 in the direction of the arrow 9a with the movement of the rope 3, and reaches the stop A when reaching the stop 1. In the vicinity, the towing machine 11 unloads the cable 3 and starts rolling along the main track 4 thereafter. In addition, the vehicle enters the deceleration section 5 and is slowly decelerated by the deceleration transfer device 5a. Here, since the branching device 32a is open to the normal position as described above, the transporter 10 proceeds along points C and D along the main rail 4 as it is. During this process, the door 12 of the transporter 10 is opened, and the passenger is disembarked from the transporter 10 moving at a slow speed to the disembarkation area 21, and the passenger is guided to the outside in the direction of the arrow 23 and exits. on the other hand,
The transporter 10 is further turned by an arcuate path from the point D to the point E of the main rail 4 and travels between the points E and F. The passenger guided to the platform 22 in the direction of the arrow 24 gets on the transporter 10 moving from the platform 22 during this time, and the door 1
2 is closed.

Here, since the branching device 32b is open to the normal position, the transporter 10 is transferred from the point F to the point G, enters the acceleration section 6 from the vicinity of the point G, and is moved by the acceleration transfer device 6a.
Is accelerated to a speed equal to the speed of the rope, and the towing machine 11 grips the cable 3 near the point H. In this way, the transporter 10 leaves the cableway 8 in the direction of the arrow 9b as the cable 3 moves. .. Are similarly operated one after another at a predetermined departure interval.

Next, the operation of the specific transporter 10A on which a passenger such as a wheelchair user has boarded is performed as follows. Specific carrier 1

The door 12 of the stopped specific carrier 10A is opened, and the passenger is disembarked from the specific carrier 10A to the platform 40, or boarded from the platform 40 to the specific carrier 10A. As described above, the landing 40 is formed at substantially the same level as the floor 13 of the specific carrier 10A, the gap 14 between them is small, and the specific carrier 10A is in a stopped state, so People and wheelchair users can safely get off or get on. Passengers get on and off to the lower or upper floor using an access means 41 provided in communication with the landing 40, for example, a small elevator 42. FIG. 2 shows a case where the vehicle is guided to the lower floor 48. In addition, the specific carrier 10A for which the handling of passengers has been completed is temporarily kept here. On the other hand, immediately after the specific transport device 10A branches at the point C, the branch device 32a is returned to the normal position and opened, and the subsequent general transport devices 10, 10... Are transported to the forwarding section 7 of the main rail 4.

On the other hand, at the point F of the main track 4, the branching device 32b is normally opened in the normal position, and the transporters 10, 10... Successively travel from the point E to the point G via the point F. Here, when there is a time or an opportunity for a specific carrier 10A to be inserted or interrupted in the queue of the carrier, a condition that the preceding carrier 10p has passed through the branch 32b is used as a condition for turning off the switch 32b. .., And the drive intermittent means 35 is operated to restart the driving of the short-circuit transporting device 33 to rotate the transport wheels 34, 34. The specific transport device 10A is driven by friction by the transfer wheels 34, 34,.
From 2b, it merges or refluxes into the main track 4, and is fed to the point G by the feeding / transporting device 7a. Thereafter, the vehicle is accelerated in the acceleration section 6 and departs to the cableway 8 in the same manner as the general transporters 10, 10,....

After the specific transporter 10A joins the general transporter path at the point F, the drive intermittent means 35 is operated to stop the operation of the short-circuit transporter 33 and the transport wheels 34, 34,.
Is stopped and the branching device 32b is returned to the normal position to open the spaces between the main rails 4. Thereafter, the transporters 10, 10... Which are being transported on the main rail 4 are accelerated in the acceleration section 6 via points E, F, and G, and depart sequentially to the cableway line 8.

As described above, the specific carrier 10A is a general carrier 1
After being removed from the trains of 0, 10,..., They are put into the carriage train again and operated, and the same operation is performed at the other stop.

Here, it is necessary that the transporter operated as the specific transporter 10A has at least a door opening through which a wheelchair can enter and exit. Carrier 1 for general operation
When all of the doors 0, 10... Have the above-described frontage dimensions of the door, they can be used for both the general transport and the specific transport as required.

(Embodiment 2) The above-mentioned embodiment is for explaining the main part of the operation method of the present invention. Next, in Embodiment 2, the main part of the above-mentioned operation method is used. In order to make it possible to operate this more effectively, the operation to ensure that the spacing between the carriers that should be interrupted when the specific carrier is separated from the main line's carrier train and returns to the main line rail again is maintained well. An application mode of will be described.

FIG. 4 shows a state after the state shown in FIG.
Is switched to the opposite position, and the specific transporter 10A is caused to enter the short-circuit section 30 by the short-circuit forwarding / transferring device 33 and is stopped at the point I. After that, the branching device 32a is returned to the normal position, and the transporters 10, 10... And the preceding transporter 10p and the succeeding transporter 10q in the forwarding section 7 are transported at a slow and uniform speed, so that the general transporters 10, 10. Is maintained, but between the preceding transporter 10p and the succeeding transporter 10q, since the specific transporter 10A has been removed first, the interval between the transporters with a longer interval k
Are formed. In addition, the carrier interval k is maintained as it is and progresses along with the carrier queue.

FIG. 5 shows a pattern in which the preceding transporter 10p has passed around the point F around the forwarding section 7. Specific carrier 1
The carrier interval k from which 0A has been removed is maintained or preserved as it is and is passing around point F. In this way, the advance carrier 10
After passing through the point F, the branching device 32b is switched to the reverse position and the short-circuit transporting device 33 is driven.
The transfer of A is started, and is interrupted and joined during the interval k between the carriages of the main rail 4. When the merging of the specific transporter 10A is completed, the branching device 32b is returned to the normal position, and the operation of the short circuit forwarding device 33 is stopped.

FIG. 6 shows that the specific carrier 10A has returned to the operation of the main rail 4 and is proceeding in the vicinity of the points F to G. The interval k between the carriers has disappeared and normal circulation operation is started. The alignment has been continued.

Next, the above-mentioned relationship will be described in more detail with reference to the operation diagram or operation diagram of FIG.

In FIG. 7, the vertical axis on the left side indicates the distance S on the main track 4 from the upper side to the lower side.
B ... H correspond to the points A and B to H in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 6 described above. The vertical axis on the right side of the figure goes from top to bottom,
It shows the distance of the forwarding section 30 which branches off from the point C of the main rail 4 and joins again to the point F. The horizontal axis indicates the time T from the left to the right.

First, the preceding carriage 10p travels in the cableway 8 at a speed equal to the speed of the cable 3 and reaches point A. Since the operating speed in the cableway 8 is high, the diagram is shown with a steep slope falling to the right. Next, between points A and B, the vehicle enters the deceleration section 5 and is decelerated, and the diagram is shown as forming a curve and gradually decreasing in slope. A forward section 7 is between point B and point G, and the preceding transporter 10p is forwarded and transported at a slow speed, during which passengers are handled. The diagram is shown in a straight line and with a gentle slope. Next, between the points G and H is the acceleration section 6, the preceding carriage 10p is accelerated at the same speed as the cable 3 and the diagram is curved. The diagram is shown as a steep straight line.

The next specific carrier 10A travels on the cableway 8 after the elapse of t seconds from the preceding carrier 10p, is indicated by a steep straight line in the diagram, is decelerated in the deceleration section 5 from the point A, and further decelerated from the point B. Until the point C, the transporting section 7 of the main track 4 is transported at a slow speed in the same manner as the preceding transporter 10p, and up to this point, the preceding transporter 10p and the specific transporter 10A are maintained at an equal interval, and are so-called “parallel”. "Diamond". Here, in the case of the next specific carrier 10A, a short-circuit section 30 extending from the point C indicated by the vertical axis on the right side of the figure to the point F via the point I is shown.
The moving operation of the specific carrier 10A during this time is indicated by a dotted line. That is, the specific carrier 10A is short-circuited and transported between the points C and I, which corresponds to the dotted lines "A" to "A" on the diagram. The specific carrier 10A stops at point I, performs passenger handling, and waits for departure, which corresponds to a horizontal dotted line between "i" and "c" in the diagram,
The time corresponding to the interval between “a” and “c” is the stop time. In this way, the transfer of the specific carrier 10A is resumed, and the short-circuit section 3
From point I of 0 to point F, this is represented by
It corresponds to the dotted line between "D". The specific carrier 10A that has merged with the main rail 4 in this way departs on the cableway 8 via the forwarding section 7 between the points F and G and the acceleration section 6 between the points G and H. This corresponds to a straight line obliquely downward from "D" on the diagram, and the preceding transporter 10p and the specific transporter 10A return to the "parallel diamond" relationship again.
A is incorporated into the carriage line of main rail 4.

Further, the succeeding carrier 10 which is a general carrier 10
q arrives at the point A from the cableway 8 after t seconds from the preceding specific carrier 10A, and is operated in the same manner as that of the preceding carrier 10p, and the diagram is similar to that of the preceding preceding carrier 10p. It is shown.

As is clear from the above description, this can be summarized as follows: To = general carrier 10 or carrier spacing k is C to D to E
If the condition of To = Tx is satisfied, assuming that the time for operating between points F and Tx = the time during which the specific carrier 10A operates the short-circuit section 30 (including the stop time at point I), the vehicle is removed from the queue of the carrier. The specified transporter 10A can be smoothly merged again into the transporter queue, and the circulating operation can be continued consistently.

In other words, in other words, C in the forwarding section 7
By appropriately setting the extension from the point F to the point F and the transport speed of the transporter 10 during this time in advance, it is possible to sufficiently secure the time required for the specific transporter 10A to handle passengers.

Next, in order to further clarify such a relationship, a description will be given using a numerical example.

FIG. 8 shows the forwarding section 7 of FIG. 1 and FIGS.
And the arrangement relationship of the short-circuit section 30 is shown again in a schematic diagram, and the symbols or points B, C... G and the symbol I are equivalent to those in the above-mentioned respective figures.

In the figure, the distance between the two reciprocating tracks of the main track 4: g = 5 (m) The radius of the curved section of the main track 4 or the radius of the curved section of the short-circuit rail 31: r = 2.5 (m) Distance between C and D or distance between E and F: s = 10 (m) Pi: If π = 3.14, distance between C, D, E, and F of main rail 4: Lo
Is: Lo = s + s + π · r = 10 + 10 + 7.85 = 27.85 (m)

Next, the distance La between C and I or the distance I and F of the short-circuit section 30 is La = π · r / 2 = 7.85 / 2 = 3.925 (m).

In addition, the transfer speed of the general transport device 10 on the main track 4 is Vo: 0.25 (m / s) The transport speed of the specific transport device 10A in the short-circuit section 30 is Va.
Is Va = Vo = 0.25 (m / s).

If it is determined as described above, the time T during which the general carrier 10 moves between C, D, E, and F of the main rail 4 will be described.
o is given by To = Lo / Vo = 2.785 / 0.25 = 1114.5 (s). On the other hand, the time Ta during which the specific carrier 10A moves between points C and I, or the time Ta during which it moves between I and F is: Ta = La / Va = 3.925 / 0.25 = 15.7 (s) . Here, assuming that the time during which the specific transporter 10A stops at the point I is Ts, the specific transporter 10A including the stop time is also included.
The time Tx during which A passes between C to IF is Tx = Ta + Ta + Ts. Here, if the condition of To = Tx = Ta + Ta + Ts is satisfied, the specific transporter 10A separates from the general transporter row at the point C, stops at the point I via the short-circuit section 30, and returns again to the original transporter row. In this case, it is possible to return to reflux. Therefore, the stop time Ts at the point I of the specific carrier 10A is as follows: Ts = To−2 · Ta = 1114− (2 × 15.7) = 83.1 (s)

That is, as shown in this numerical example, the extension of each rail,
When the transport speed of each transporter is set, 83 seconds (1:23) can be obtained as the stop time of the specific transporter 10A. Also, if it is assumed that the stop time of the specific carrier 10A is to be set longer, the distance Lo between the points C to D to E to F of the main rail 4 is set to be long in advance, as is apparent from the above-described relations. Alternatively, if the transfer speed Vo of the transporter 10 is set to be small and the transport time To of the transporter 10 is increased, the stop time Ts of the specific transporter 10A can be increased.

(Embodiment 3) Next, in Embodiment 3, the essential parts of the operation method of Embodiment 1 are used, and the interval between the transporters to be interrupted when returning to the specific transporter is always ensured. Then, the applied operation mode of this operation method will be described. In this case, at least one or more locations between the transporters into which the specific transporters are to be inserted are always formed in the circulation route of the transporters in the cableway, and the operation is performed. The specific carrier is inserted into the space between the carriers to operate, and at the stop, the vehicle enters the short-circuit rail via the branching device, where the specific carrier is stopped in the same manner as described above and the passenger gets on and off. When the passenger ends, the vehicle is kept on standby until the next transport interval arrives, and when the transport interval circulates, it is inserted into this and operated. In this mode of operation, since the interval between the transporters is always formed, there is a disadvantage that the operation of the general transporter is reduced by that much, but the specific transporter has a sufficient stop time until the next interval between the transporters comes. Since such an operation can be obtained, when such an operation is required, it can be used as an application of the present operation method.

[0052]

As described above, since the automatic circulation type cableway equipment has been mainly used for transporting skiers mainly in mountainous areas, particularly in mountainous snow areas, the passengers are mainly healthy or ordinary passengers, Even in the getting-on / off method of getting on and off the vehicle, it is possible to safely get on and off, and there is no particular problem. However, when using cableway facilities as transportation for urban or regional transportation, not only ordinary passengers or healthy people but also so-called vulnerable persons such as elderly and wheelchair users can get on and off safely. Is required. It is obvious that such passengers may be taken into consideration by temporarily stopping the vehicle and getting on and off.

However, as is well known, the automatic circulating cableway equipment is designed to have a required transportation capacity by operating small or relatively small carriers one after another at short departure intervals. However, when a specific carrier in a carrier queue is temporarily stopped, there is a problem that congestion occurs in a subsequent carrier and smooth circulation operation becomes impossible.

According to the present invention, there is provided a short-circuit rail which branches from a forward section of the main track at the stop of the automatic circulation type cableway equipment to an inner peripheral side of the forward section and joins the main track again, and a landing platform along the short-circuit track is provided. Using a facility equipped with a special equipment, the specific carrier is temporarily stopped so that the user can get on and off safely. Since the vehicle is stopped in the short-circuit section, it is possible to operate without disturbing the operation of the general carriages on the main track, and the specific carriages that have finished getting on and off are returned to the space between the carriages in the general carriages again. be able to.

By properly setting the length of the main rail and the short-circuit rail, the transport speed of the transporter, and the like, the specific transporter is returned to the space between the transporters generated by removing the specific transporter from the queue of the general transporter. It is also possible to continue the operation in a consistent manner, for example, and this can be adopted as an application of the present operation method.
