Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable car support for a cable car with an entry unit for people to board.
  • the invention also relates to a cable car with a number of cable car supports for guiding a hoisting cable of the cable car and with at least one cable car car arranged on the hoisting cable and a method for carrying out a transfer from a cable car car to the access unit or vice versa.
  • Cable cars are available in a wide variety of designs, mostly for transporting people and/or goods, for example as urban transport or for transporting people in ski areas.
  • Funicular railways are known in which mostly rail-bound vehicles are attached to a wire rope in order to be pulled by the wire rope. The movement takes place on the ground, whereby funicular railways are mostly used on mountain routes.
  • cable car vehicles such as gondolas, cabins or chairs are carried by one or more (wire) cables without fixed guides and are moved suspended in the air. The cable car cars therefore have no ground contact.
  • Aerial cableways are usually used in rough terrain, mostly for mountain routes, for example in ski resorts, to transport people from a valley to a mountain. As a rule, cable cars have two stations between which the cable cars are moved.
  • one or more cable car supports are usually arranged between the two stations to guide the (carrying/pulling) cables.
  • Cable car supports can be designed as a steel framework construction, but also as a tubular steel or sheet metal box construction.
  • a number of rollers are usually arranged on a ropeway support, for example in the form of a so-called roller battery, in order to carry and guide the rope.
  • access units are often provided on the cable car supports. Such access units can be designed, for example, in the form of (maintenance) platforms and/or steps and can be entered by maintenance personnel.
  • security devices be provided to increase safety for maintenance personnel, such as railings.
  • ropeway supports can have a height of between a few meters and more than 150m.
  • access to the access units for the cable car supports was only possible using ladders from the ground. Due to the often impassable terrain and in particular because of the sometimes great height of cable car supports, such an approach is very difficult and time-consuming.
  • a boarding device is provided on the cable car support for people to transfer from a cable car of the cable car to the access unit or vice versa, with the boarding device being arranged on the cable car support so that it can be moved relative to the access unit by means of a fastening unit, the boarding device being relatively to the boarding unit from a rest position in which the boarding device is stowed away on the boarding unit into a ready position, which is provided for carrying out the boarding, displaceable.
  • This enables access to the access unit directly from a cable car, which is far less strenuous and time-consuming for maintenance personnel than via a ladder from the ground.
  • a locking unit for locking the step-over device in the rest position is preferably provided on the cable car support. This can reduce the risk of the step-over device becoming detached in an undesired manner, for example during operation of the cable car.
  • a locking unit that can be actuated mechanically, hydraulically or electrically enables flexible options for actuating the locking unit.
  • An actuating unit for actuating the locking unit is advantageously provided on the cable car support in order to release the locking of the step-over device in the rest position in order to move the step-over device from the rest position into the ready position, with the actuating unit preferably having at least a first lever element in order to move the locking unit from a cable car, the actuation unit particularly preferably also having a second lever element in order to actuate the locking unit from the access unit.
  • the actuation unit can also have an actuation means in the form of a cable pull or a flexible shaft. This creates flexible options for easy actuation of the locking unit.
  • the step-over device has a braking device in order to brake a movement of the step-over device from the rest position into the ready position caused by gravity, the braking device preferably being implemented mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically.
  • the braking device preferably being implemented mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically.

  • the sensor element can also be provided to detect a locking state of the locking unit, in particular whether the step-over device is locked in the rest position by means of the locking unit. This further increases safety, since reliable detection of the position and/or the locking state of the step-over device is made possible.
  • the step-over device preferably has at least one stepping and/or holding element for one person to step on and/or hold on to. This makes it easier for people to cross and increases safety.
  • the length of the boarding device can be changed in order to adapt the length of the boarding device to a variable distance between the access unit and the cable car, with the boarding device particularly preferably being designed as a ladder, preferably a telescopic ladder, with the at least one step - And/or holding element is a rung of the ladder.
  • a railing is preferably provided on the entry unit and the climbing-over device forms part of the railing in the rest position, as a result of which safety can be increased.
  • the object is further achieved in that the boarding device is arranged on at least one cable car support of a cable car, with one boarding device each being preferably arranged on a plurality of cable car supports.
  • the cable car advantageously has a system control unit for controlling the cable car, with the system control unit being provided to process the sensor value of the sensor element in order to switch off the cable car or to generate a warning signal and emit it via a signaling device if the sensor element is in a position that deviates from the rest position of the Step-over device detects and/or when the sensor element detects an unlocked state of the step-over device in the locking unit.
  • the system control unit Through the communication of the sensor of the boarding device with the system control unit, it is possible to move the cable car in Dependency of the Positon and / or the locking state of the boarding device off or at least emit a warning signal.
  • the object is also achieved with the method mentioned at the outset, in which the cable car is moved into a boarding position, the boarding device of the cable car support is moved from the cable car or from the entry unit from the rest position to the ready position, a person is transferred from the cable car via the boarding device to the Exceeds entry unit or vice versa and the step-over device is preferably moved from the entry unit or from the cable car from the ready position BP back to the rest position after the climb.

  • decoupling can also be done, for example, after the close of business Cable car done in order to park the cable car cars outside of operating hours, for example in a suitable garage.
  • a non-detachable connection of the cable car 7 to the hoisting cable 6 would also be possible.
  • the cable car 7 is designed as a maintenance gondola.
  • the maintenance gondola has a ladder 9 via which a person can climb from the maintenance gondola onto a platform 10 at the upper end of the maintenance gondola, for example in order to carry out certain maintenance activities.

  • the access unit 4 can be attached to the roller battery 3 and/or to the cable car support 1 itself.
  • a railing 13 is additionally provided on the steps 12 in order to increase safety for persons using the entry unit 4 .
  • the entry unit 4 could also be constructed in any other way and e.g. only have a platform with or without a railing 13. If the cable car support 1 is designed as a framework construction, the access unit 4 could also be a direct part of the cable car support 1, for example.
  • a maintenance ladder 14 is indicated schematically on the cable car support 1 , via which persons, in particular maintenance personnel, can climb from the ground up to the access unit 4 .
  • a maintenance ladder 14 can also have additional safety elements, for example a kind of cage to protect people from falling down. So far, access to the access unit 4 was essentially exclusively via such maintenance ladders 14. It is immediately apparent that access via the maintenance ladder 14 is very strenuous and time-consuming, especially with very high cable car supports 1, which is of course disadvantageous.
  • cable car supports 1 are often arranged in impassable, e.g. steep, rocky terrain, which makes it very difficult to reach the cable car support 1 on the ground.
  • one is restricted when using a maintenance ladder 14 with regard to luggage such as tools.

Climbing over can of course also take place the other way around, in that a person (on the boarding unit 4) moves the boarding device 15 from the rest position RP to the ready position BP from the boarding unit 4 in order to get from the boarding unit 4 to the cable car 7.
  • the step-over device 15 preferably has at least one stepping and/or holding element 16 which is suitable for a person to hold or step on in order to facilitate the step-over.

  • the locking element 18a can be articulated directly to the entry unit 4 or a part thereof (eg a crossbeam 30) or, as shown, to a suitable support element 32, which in turn is firmly connected to the entry unit 4.
  • the locking element 18a has an opening 33, which is engaged with the boarding device 15 in the rest position RP in order to lock the boarding device 15 on the entry unit 4 .
  • a rung 16 of the ladder can be engaged in the opening 33 .
  • the locking unit 18 can be actuated from the cable car 7 via the first lever element 24a.
  • the locking element 18a is pivoted from a locking position VP into a release position LP by means of the actuating means 31, as a result of which the step-over device 15 is released and can be shifted from the rest position RP to the ready position BP.
  • the axis of rotation of the locking element 18a here runs in the transverse direction, essentially parallel to the crossbeams 30.
  • the displacement preferably takes place automatically by gravity, with the movement being able to be braked by an optional braking device if necessary.
  • the locking unit 18 preferably includes at least one suitable biasing member 26 (not shown) to bias the locking member 18a to the locked position VP.
  • a suitable mechanical spring is preferably used as the prestressing element 26 .
  • a torsion spring can be provided in the axis of rotation of the locking element 18a.
  • the first lever element 24a also has a suitable prestressing element 26 in order to enable the first lever element 24a including the actuating means 31 to be returned to the starting position.
  • the provision of the first lever element 24a and the actuating means 31 can, for example, also only be effected by the prestressing element 26, in particular the spring on the locking element 18a, if the prestressing force is sufficiently high.
  • a switch could be provided instead of the lever element 24a, or the switch could be actuated by means of the lever element 24a. The switch could then be connected to the locking unit 18 via an electrical line, for example.
  • the displacement of the boarding device 15 from the ready position BP ( Fig.4 ) into the rest position RP is preferably carried out manually, with suitable aids such as a cable pull, one or more straps, handles, etc. being able to be provided if necessary.
  • the locking element 18a in the example shown has a wedge-shaped section for forming an inclined surface 34 .
  • the locking element 18a of the rung 16 is partly in the direction of the release position LP pivoted until the rung 16 comes into engagement with the opening 33.
  • the biasing element 26 such as a torsion spring in the axis of rotation of the locking element 18a
  • the locking element 18a is moved back into the locking position VP, as a result of which the step-over device 15 is locked.
  • one or more limiting elements 28 can also be provided on the boarding device 15 and/or the access unit 4 in order to limit a movement of the boarding device 15 beyond the rest position RP.
  • a given play between rung 16 and opening 33 can thereby be minimized in order to reduce possible rattling noises due to the movement of the step-over device 15 within the opening 33 .
  • a sensor element 29 can also be provided in the second exemplary embodiment in order to detect the position of the step-over device 15 . The function is analogous to that of the first exemplary embodiment, which is why it is not discussed in any more detail at this point.
  • Figure 5b 12 shows an alternative embodiment of a locking unit 18.
  • the locking unit has a carrier element 32 which is fastened to the entry unit 4 (not shown).
  • Two locking units 18a are provided on the carrier element 32, which are essentially analogous to FIG Fig.5a are designed.
  • the two locking elements 18a in Fig.5b pivotable about an axis of rotation, which extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal beam 11 of the entry unit 4 and not as previously in Fig.5a in transverse direction.
  • the locking elements 18a each have an opening 33 which can be brought into engagement with the boarding device 15 in order to lock the boarding device 15 in the rest position RP on the access unit 4 .
  • the openings 33 interact here with the longitudinal supports 15a of the step-over device 15 designed as a ladder and not, as before, with a rung 16 of the ladder.
  • the function with regard to the actuation by means of an actuation element 19 does not differ from the variant according to FIG Fig.5a , which is why it is not discussed in detail.
  • the stability of the step-over device 15 in the rest position RP can be improved by the double locking.
  • the climbing-over device 15 preferably in the form of a ladder, is arranged laterally on the outside of the railing 13 in the rest position RP, ie on the side of the railing 13 which faces away from the steps 12.
  • the attachment unit 21 is, for example, a console that is pivotably attached to the entry unit 4, with the pivot axis running in the transverse direction, for example parallel to the crossbeams 30.
  • the boarding device 15 can be displaced relative to the attachment unit 21, for example within a suitable Recess in the fastening unit 21.
  • the step-over device 15 can thus be moved back and forth within the recess of the fastening unit 21 between two positions in which the two axial ends of the step-over device 15 bear against the fastening unit 21.
  • a guide unit is also provided on the railing 1 in order to hold the step-over device 15 securely on the railing 13 in the rest position.
  • the step-over device 15 can first be moved, in particular displaced, relative to the railing 13 and essentially parallel to the railing 13, starting from the rest position RP.
  • the step-over device 15 is also displaced relative to the fastening unit 21, for example within the recess. The displacement takes place until the first axial end of the step-over device 15, which faces away from the fastening unit 21 in the rest position RP, has reached the fastening unit 21 and is preferably in contact with it. Thereafter, the fastening unit 21 is pivoted, as a result of which the readiness position BP is reached.
