Description

The present invention relates to a cableway operation status display device that is mainly installed in a ski resort slope and displays the operation status of a cableway operating at a ski resort.

Skiing and snowboarding are popular among a wide range of age groups as winter sports, and ski resorts of various sizes are set up in the mountainous areas of each region to perform these skis. In many ski resorts, a plurality of skiing courses are formed along the slope, and the slopes of the skiing courses are divided into beginner courses, intermediate courses, and advanced courses. In the slope, a plurality of cableways such as chair lifts and gondola lifts are arranged in order to transport users to the upper part of each of these courses.

For skiing and snowboarding at ski resorts, the period of use is limited to the snowfall season, so passengers are concentrated on winter holidays, and the cableway that transports passengers becomes very crowded. In such a situation, if the user on the slope can grasp the congestion situation of the cableway and the rest house in advance, it is convenient for the user when selecting the cableway and the rest house.

For this reason, the following congestion status display systems have been conventionally proposed. In this system, the user has a lift ticket with an IC chip, and when passing through the gate of the lift or rest house, the entry / exit is detected by a weak radio wave from the lift ticket. At the lift gate management department, etc., the number of participants at the exit gate, etc. is reduced from the number of visitors at the lift platform gate, etc., the number of people waiting for the lift is reduced, and the number of people waiting is calculated. After collecting, the gate management department etc. calculates the number of people waiting by subtracting the number of participants such as the exit gate and the number of seats in the rest house from the number of visitors such as the entrance gate of the rest house, and the data of each rest house is used as the rest house owner. Collected by the management unit, both data are collected by the management center and displayed on the first and second display units and the like via the first and second display control units and the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, the above system has a problem that a lift ticket with an IC chip and a sensor for receiving weak radio waves emitted by the lift ticket must be provided at each entry / exit, and the cost required for the equipment becomes high.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cableway operation status display device having a simple configuration and low cost required for equipment.

The invention according to claim 1 is to a motor vehicle in which a cable for carrying a plurality of carriers provided in each of a plurality of different cable paths is wound around each of them, an electric motor for driving the motor vehicle, and these electric motors. Each speed detector connected to each to detect the speed of the cord, receives a speed signal detected from the speed detector, supplies power to the motor, and controls the rotation speed of the motor. A control device, an output current detection circuit for detecting the output current to the motor provided in the control device, and a display control for displaying the occupancy rate in each of the cable paths and the speed of the cable in each cable path on the display unit. The control device comprises a device, and the control device is obtained by comparing a current value corresponding to a occupancy rate for the carrier preset in the control device with a current value detected by the output current detection circuit. The rate signal and the speed signal, which is the current speed of the cord, are transmitted to one display controller, and the display controller is based on the speed signal and the occupancy rate signal received from each of the cords. It is characterized in that a plurality of occupancy rates in each of the cableways and a plurality of speeds of the cords in each of the cableways are controlled to be displayed on a display.

According to the present invention, since the operation status of the cableway is displayed by a signal from the control device that controls the operation of the cableway, the configuration is simple and the cost required for the equipment is low.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a ski resort. On the slope of the mountain 50, trees are cut down from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain to form various slide courses 51, and a plurality of cableways 53 for transporting skiers and snowboarders are erected to each slide course 51. ing. The foot of the mountain 50 is formed in a square shape with a gentle slope, and skiers and snowboarders who have slid on each skiing course 51 can finally slide down here. At the foot of the mountain 52, a management center 54 for managing the slope including the slide course 51 and the cableway 53 is erected, and a slope map 55 showing the layout of the slide course 51 and the cableway 53 is also erected. Further, the slope map 55 is provided with a display 57 for displaying the operation status of each cableway 53.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the entire chair lift, which is a typical facility of the cableway 53. The low-place side stop 10 and the high-place side stop 11 are provided with a turn-back pulley 12 and a driving pulley 13 rotatably, respectively, and a cord 14 is stretched endlessly between these pulleys 12 and 13. There is. Pillars 15 are erected in the track according to the terrain, and the ropes 14 are movably supported. The driving pulley 13 of the high-altitude side stop 11 is connected to a driving device including a speed reducer 16 and an electric motor 17, and by driving this, the driving pulley 13 rotates and the cord 14 is along the railroad track. Circularly move. Chair-type carriers 18 are attached to the rope 14 at predetermined intervals, and personnel are transported between the low-altitude side stop 10 and the high-altitude side stop 11.

The rotation speed of the electric motor 17 is controlled by the control device 19 as follows so that the speed of the cord 14 becomes a designated speed. A speed detector 20 such as a finger speed generator is connected to the electric motor 17, and this signal is input to the control device 19. A plurality of speed commands are set in the control device 19, and the control device 19 controls the electric power output to the electric motor 17 so that the designated speed command and the speed signal from the speed detector 20 match. .. Further, the control device 19 is provided with an output current detection circuit 21 for detecting the current value output from the control device 19 to the electric motor 17, and the current value detected by this circuit and the current value set in advance in the control device 19 are combined with each other. I try to compare.

The current value set in advance in the control device 19 is a current value supplied to the electric motor 17 at an arbitrary occupancy rate, for example, when the occupancy rate of passengers on the up line is 100% or 50%. It is set as a current value, and this set value is set for each speed command. As a result, the control device 19 compares the current value detected by the output current detection circuit 21 with the current value set in advance in the control device 19, and determines whether or not the up line occupancy rate during operation is 100%. It can be determined whether it is 50% or more or less. While the cableway 53 is in operation, the control device 19 constantly compares the current value detected by the output current detection circuit 21 with the current value set in advance in the control device 19 to determine the passenger occupancy rate.

As described above, the control device 19 of each cableway 53 detects the speed of the cableway 14 and the passenger occupancy rate, and the control device 19 determines the speed of the cableway 14 as a speed signal from these detected values. As a result, the passenger's boarding rate is transmitted to the management center 54 as a boarding rate signal. The management center 54 is provided with a display controller 56 that controls the display of the display 57, and a speed signal and a occupancy rate signal from the control device 19 of each cableway 53 are input to the display controller 56.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the display 57. The display 57 includes a name unit 58, a situation unit 59, and a speed unit 60, and the name unit 58 displays the name of each cableway 53. The situation unit 59 is designed to display the congestion status of each cableway 53. For example, when the passenger rate signal from the control device 19 input to the display controller 56 is 100%, "congestion", 50. In the case of% or more, the display controller 56 controls to display such as "slightly crowded". Further, the speed unit 60 displays the operating speed of each cableway 53, and displays the current operating speed of each cableway 53 by the speed signal from the control device 19 input to the display controller 56. The display controller 56 controls so as to do so.

With the above configuration, ski resort users such as skiers and snowboarders can confirm the positions of the skiing course 51 and the cableway 53 by looking at the slope map 55, and can know the congestion status of each cableway 53 by the display 57. Therefore, it can be used as a guide when selecting the cableway 53 to be used. Further, since the operating speed of the cableway 53 is also displayed on the display 57, the user can select the cableway 53 according to his / her skill, that is, the difficulty of getting on and off due to the speed of the carrier 18. ..

In the above description, the slope map 55 and the display 57 are installed at the foot of the mountain 52, but if the slope map 55 and the display 57 are installed in appropriate places on the slope, the convenience of the user will be increased. .. Further, if the information displayed on the display 57 can be viewed on the smartphone owned by the user, the convenience of the user is further increased. Further, if the speed signal and the occupancy rate signal input to the display controller 56 are recorded with the passage of time and time, the ski resort manager can use this data to record the operation status of each cableway 53. Etc. can be analyzed.
