Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for opening and closing a hood of a carrier at a foothill side terminal and a mountaintop side terminal in a cableway such as a ski lift using a carrier provided with a hood that can be opened and closed. Of the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in a cableway such as a ski lift, since a transfer route by a rope of a carrier is recently lengthened,
In order to protect passengers such as skiers from wind and snow and provide a comfortable riding environment, there is a tendency to use a carrier provided with a hood that can be opened and closed.

Thus, in such a cableway using a hooded carrier, as a method of opening and closing the hood at the terminal, generally, a method in which a cableway member and passengers who board the carrier manually open and close the hood ( "First conventional method"
Or a method of forcibly opening and closing the hood regardless of whether passengers are present or not (hereinafter referred to as "second conventional method") while the transporter travels through each terminal.
That is, in the first conventional method, when the carrier arrives at the foothill-side terminal or the mountaintop-side terminal, the cableway staff opens the hood and the passengers board the carrier with the hood opened by the cableway crew (the foothill-side terminal). ) Or getting off from the carrier (terminal at the summit side), and opening and closing the hood of the carrier leaving the terminal at the foot of the mountain is left to the passenger's free will. In addition, from the terminal on the mountaintop side, the unmanned transporter with passengers descending will leave with the hood open. In addition, in the second conventional method, the hood is automatically opened for the transporter arriving at each terminal and the hood is automatically opened for the transporter departing from each terminal regardless of whether or not the passenger is on the transporter. Try to close.

[0004]

In the first conventional method, as described above, the hood of the transporter arriving at the terminal at the foot of the mountain is opened by the cableway crew member. Therefore, when there is no passenger to board the transporter, the unmanned vehicle is unmanned. The carrier will leave the terminal at the foot of the mountain with the hood open. In addition, an unmanned transporter will leave from the mountaintop terminal with the hood open. By the way, a carrier with an open hood has a larger wind-receiving area than a carrier with a closed hood, but a manned carrier with passengers is heavy, so it is less likely to be adversely affected by wind. Passengers will close the hood if necessary,
There is no particular problem. However, as mentioned above, the unmanned transporter leaving the terminal at the foot of the mountain or the terminal at the top of the mountain with the hood open has a large wind-receiving area and is light because there are no passengers. When a strong wind or a gust is received at, there is a risk that unstable movement may occur, leading to derailment, which is extremely dangerous. On the other hand, in order to avoid such a danger, it may be possible to have the cableway staff close the hood for unmanned vehicles departing from the terminal at the foot of the mountain or the terminal at the top of the mountain. Not only does this increase, but the task of safety monitoring of passengers, which is the original task, tends to be neglected. Of course, it is only necessary to arrange a dedicated staff member for closing the hood of the unmanned transporter, but it is difficult to realize because the human economic burden increases. Further, even if the hood of the unmanned transporter departing from the terminal is closed, there is a possibility that the hood may be opened after the departure of the terminal due to the influence of strong wind or gust of wind.

In the second conventional method, the hood is compulsorily applied to all departure carriers regardless of whether or not passengers are on the carriers departing from the terminal at the foot of the mountain as well as the unmanned carriers departing from the terminal at the top of the mountain. Since the unmanned transporter without passengers does not leave each terminal with the hood open, the above problem does not occur. However, even when the passenger is on the carrier departing from the terminal at the foot of the mountain, the hood is automatically closed, and it is impossible to cope with the unexpected behavior of the passenger. For example, when a passenger who has boarded a carrying device removes a part of his / her body from the carrying device while the hood is about to be closed, the hood may be touched and injured. Also, even if you leave each terminal with the unmanned transporter with the hood closed,
As described above, as in the case where the staff artificially closes the hood, the hood may be opened due to the influence of the wind during the transfer by the rope. This fear can be avoided by locking the hood of the departure carrier in a closed state, but it is necessary to keep the hood closed for the manned carrier going from the foothill side terminal to the mountaintop side terminal. Even in fine weather, passengers may not be able to freely open the hood, and a comfortable riding environment may not be provided.

The present invention provides a hood opening / closing method for a transporter which can comfortably and safely transport passengers without causing the above-mentioned problems, and a hood opening / closing apparatus which can preferably carry out the method. The purpose is to do.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a carrier provided with a hood which can be opened and closed has a constant size from a carrier arrival area to a carrier departure area through a boarding area or a getting-off area at a foot terminal or a mountain top terminal. In a cableway that is configured to proceed with the path being released from the cord,
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, it is proposed that the method for opening and closing the hood of the carrier and the device for carrying out this be configured as follows.

That is, according to the hood opening / closing method of the present invention, in the terminal at the foot of the mountain, the hood is operated to the open position with respect to all the carrying devices heading for the boarding area, and the passengers are carried with respect to all the carrying devices passing through the boarding area. The hood is moved to the closed position and locked at that position only for the carrier that is detected to be unattended by detecting the presence / absence. On the other hand, the hood is moved to the open position, and the hood is moved to the closed position and locked to the unmanned transporter that advances to the transporter starting area.

Further, the hood opening / closing device of the present invention for carrying out this method is provided with a hood lever and a lock lever provided on the carrier, a foot opening side hood opening operation mechanism provided at the foot foot side terminal, a passenger detection mechanism and a foot foot side hood. It is provided with a lock operation mechanism, a mountain top side hood opening operation mechanism and a mountain top side hood lock operation mechanism provided in the mountain top side terminal. Thus, the hood lever is interlockingly connected to the hood and is movable between an open operation position for moving the hood to the open position and a close operation position for operating the hood to the closed position. The lever is movable between a lock position that locks the lever at the closing operation position and an unlock position that does not hinder the operation of the hood lever. In addition, the foot-side hood opening operation mechanism operates the lock lever in the lock position to the unlock position and the hood lever in the closing operation position to the open operation position for all the carriers moving in the carrier arrival area. The passenger detection mechanism detects the presence or absence of passengers in all the carriers that pass through the boarding area, and the foothill side hood lock operation mechanism detects that the passenger detection mechanism is unmanned. Only for the carried device, the hood lever is moved to the closed position and the lock lever is moved to the locked position. In addition, the mountain top side hood opening operation mechanism moves the lock lever in the lock position to the unlock position and moves the hood lever in the closing operation position to the open operation position for all unmanned transporters moving in the transporter arrival area. The hood lock operating mechanism on the mountain top side operates the hood lever to the closed position and the lock lever to the locked position for all unmanned transporters that proceed to the transporter starting area.

[0010]

[Function] All the transporters arriving at each terminal go to the boarding area or the unloading area with the hood open. Therefore, even when a passenger gets on the carrier in the boarding area of the terminal at the foot of the mountain or when the passenger gets off from the carrier in the getting-off area of the terminal at the top of the mountain, there is no need for the cableway staff to open the hood in advance.

In the terminal at the foot of the mountain, the presence or absence of a passenger boarding the carrier is detected in the boarding area, and the hood is forcibly closed only when it is detected that the passenger is unmanned. That is, the unmanned transporter with the hood open departs from the foothill side terminal with the hood closed and locked when there are no passengers boarding the transporter in the boarding area. Therefore, the unmanned transporter that leaves the terminal at the foot of the mountain without passengers boarding is not adversely affected by the wind because the hood is securely held in the closed state even when a strong wind or a gust is received. . On the other hand, with respect to the carrier in which the passenger boarded in the boarding area, the hood is not locked in the closed state, and the opening and closing of the hood is left to the passenger's free will. Therefore, an unexpected situation as in the case of the second conventional method does not occur. Moreover, since the hood can be freely opened and closed by passengers, it is possible to provide a comfortable riding environment in which passengers' intentions are respected.

From the mountaintop side terminal, all unmanned transporters depart with the hoods closed and locked. Therefore, similarly to the unmanned transporter that departs from the foothill side terminal, it is not adversely affected even when a strong wind or a gust of wind is received.

Next, the method for opening and closing the hood of the carrier according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9 and 10 to 21.

The unmanned carrier 1 suspended from and supported by the rope 3 from the terminal T ′ on the mountain top to the terminal T on the foot of the mountain arrives at the terminal T on the foot of the mountain, and is supported by the track rail 4 and released from the wire 3. In the state of being supported by the track rail 4 after being searched, it is pushed from the carrier arrival area A through the boarding area B to the carrier departure area C by the pushing devices 5, 6, 7 and at the end of the carrier departure area C. Line 3 again
While leaving the foothill side terminal T in a state of being gripped by the rope and suspended and supported by the rope 3, the carrier 1
The opening and closing of the hood 12 is controlled as follows.

That is, the carrier 1 that has arrived at the foothill side terminal T advances in the carrier arrival area A and first passes through the unlocking operation body 44 (see FIG. 2A). At this time,
When the lock lever 22 is in the lock position, the guide wheel 42 of the lock lever 22 rolls and is pushed down on the cam surface 44a of the unlock operation body 44, and the lock lever 2
2 is moved to the unlocked position (see FIG. 16). Further, when the lock lever 22 is in the unlock position (in this embodiment, the lock lever 22 is located in the lock position for all the carriers 1 that have arrived at the foothill side terminal T), the lock lever 22 remains in the unlock position. Retained.
Therefore, the carrier 1 that has passed through the unlock operation body 44
Is in a state where the hood 12 can freely open and close it.
Then, the carrier 1 passes through the hood opening operation body 45 (FIG. 2).
(B)). At this time, when the hood lever 21 is at the closing operation position, the guide wheel 33 of the hood lever 21 rolls on the cam surface 45a of the hood opening operation body 45 and is pushed down, so that the hood lever 21 is at the opening operation position. It is operated (see FIG. 17). Further, when the hood lever 21 is in the open operation position (in this embodiment, the hood lever 21 is located in the close operation position in all the transporters 1 that have arrived at the foothill side terminal T), the open operation position is maintained. Held in. Therefore, with respect to the transporter 1 that has passed through the hood opening operation body 45, the hood 12 is always moved to the boarding area B in the open position.

While the carrier 1 travels toward the boarding area B, the succeeding carrier 1 ′, which is two or three units after that, operates the first limit switch 48 to operate the gate 10
Is opened (see FIG. 3 (C)). When the gate 10 is opened, if there is a passenger S waiting at the gate 10, the passenger S proceeds from the gate 10 to the boarding area B and goes to the area B.
Of the optical sensors 49a,
49b is activated. That is, from the light emitter 49a to the light receiver 4
The light projecting path to 9b is blocked by the passenger S, and the presence of the passenger S trying to get into the carrier 1 at the boarding position in the boarding area B is detected (see FIG. 3D). On the other hand, when there is no passenger S passing through the gate 10, the light projecting path is not blocked and the optical sensors 49a and 49b do not operate (see FIG. 4 (E)).

Thereafter, the carrier 1 enters the boarding area B, travels in the area B, operates the second limit switch 50, and then heads to the carrier departure area A (FIGS. 4F and 5).
(See (G)).

At this time, the boarding area B is passed through the gate 10.
If there is a passenger S waiting at the boarding position of
While boarding the carrying device 1 in the boarding area B (see FIG. 4 (F)). Further, when there is no passenger S, the carrier 1 passes through the riding area B unattended (see FIG. 5 (G)). Then, the carrier 1 that has passed through the boarding area B
Whether or not the passenger S is on the vehicle is detected by whether or not the optical sensors 49a and 49b are activated between the opening of the gate 10 and the activation of the second limit switch 50. That is, during this period, the optical sensors 49a, 49
When b operates, it is detected that the passenger S is on the carrier 1 (see FIGS. 3D and 4F), and when the optical sensors 49a and 49b do not operate at all. , It is detected that the passenger S is not on the carrier 1 (FIG. 4).
(E) and FIG. 5 (G)). Further, according to the detection result, the operation of the second limit switch 50 by the carrier 1 controls the foothill side hood lock operation mechanism 25 as follows. That is, after opening the gate 10, the optical sensor 4
When 9a and 49b are actuated, that is, when the presence of the passenger S is detected, even if the second limit switch 50 is actuated by the carrier 1, the hydraulic cylinders 60 and 65 of the foothill side hood lock operation mechanism 25 are The hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 are not operated, and are held in the non-acting position (see FIGS. 19 and 21). On the other hand, even after the opening of the gate 10, the optical sensors 49a, 4a
When 9b does not operate, that is, when the presence of the passenger S is not detected, the second limit switch 5
0 is operated by the carrier 1, the above hydraulic cylinders 6
0 and 65 are reduced, and the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 are both operated from the non-acting position to the acting position (see FIGS. 18 and 20). The gate 10
Is closed after a certain time has passed (FIG. 3 (D), FIG.
(See (E)).

The carrier 1 that has passed the second limit switch 50 departs from the boarding area B and sequentially passes through the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 (FIG. 5 (H),
6 (I)), the third limit switch 53 is operated (FIG. 6 (J)), and the rope 3 is formed at the end of the carrier starting area C.
I was caught by and departed from the terminal T at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, when the passenger S is on the carrier 1 departing from the boarding area B, the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 are held in the non-acting position.
In this manned transporter 1, the hood lever 21 is not forcibly operated to the hood closing operation position by the hood closing operation body 51, and the lock lever 22 is not operated to the lock position by the lock operation body 52 and is held in the unlock position. In this state, that is, in the state in which the passenger S can freely open and close the hood 12, the passenger departs from the terminal T (FIGS. 10 and 1).
2, FIG. 19 and FIG. 21). Depending on the operation of the third limit switch 53 by the manned carrier 1,
The foothill side hood lock operation mechanism 25 is not operated at all, and both the operation bodies 44 and 45 are held as they are in the non-acting position.

On the other hand, when the passenger S is not on the carrier 1 that departs from the boarding area B, the unmanned carrier 1 operates the second limit 50 so that the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 do not operate. Since the unmanned transporter 1 passes through the hood closing operation body 51, the guide wheel 33 of the hood lever 21 rolls on the cam surface 51a of the hood closing operation body 51 in the operation position because the operation is performed from the operation position to the operation position. It is moved and pushed up, the hood lever 21 is operated from the hood opening operation position to the hood closing operation position, and the hood 12 is forcibly closed (see FIGS. 14 and 18). Further, when the unmanned transporter 1 passes through the lock operating body 52, the guide wheel 42 of the lock lever 22 rolls and is pushed up on the cam 52a of the lock operating body 52 in the operating position, and the lock lever 22 is unlocked. When the hood lever 21 is operated from the position to the lock position, the hood lever 21 is locked at the hood closing operation position (see FIGS. 11, 13, and 20). After that, the unmanned transporter 1 passes through the lock operation body 52, operates the third limit switch 53, and leaves the foothill side terminal T. When the third limit switch 53 is activated,
The hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 are returned to the non-acting position, and the next carrying device is prepared (see FIGS. 19 and 21).

As described above, regarding the manned transporter 1 departing from the terminal T on the foot of the mountain, the hood 12 is opened and closed by the passenger S's voluntary intention. Therefore, it is unexpected due to the disagreement between the opening and closing of the hood 12 and the behavior of the passenger S. A situation (a part of the body of the passenger S touching the hood 12 to get injured) does not occur. Moreover, since the passenger S can freely open and close the hood 12 according to the weather or the like, it is possible to provide a comfortable riding environment in which the intention of the passenger S is respected. On the other hand, for the unmanned transporter 1 on which the passenger S is not riding, the hood 12 is left at the foot of the terminal T with the hood 12 locked in the closed position, and the hood 12 may open unexpectedly under the influence of wind. In other words, the cableway can be driven stably and safely. Moreover, the cableway staff at the terminal T at the foot of the foot does not need to open the hood 12 when the passenger S gets on the carrier 1 or close the hood 12 when the unmanned carrier 1 leaves, and the original safety monitoring is performed. You can concentrate on your work.

The carrier 1 having left the foothill side terminal T in this way is suspended and supported by the rope 3 toward the mountaintop side terminal T ', and when it arrives at the mountaintop side terminal T', the foothill side terminal T ' Similarly to the above, in the state of being supported by the track rail 4 ′ and being released from the rope 3 and then supported by the track rail 4 ′, the carrier arrival area by the pushing devices 5 ′, 6 ′, 7 ′. It is pushed from A'through the dismounting area B'to the carrier departure area C ', again gripped by the rope 3 at the terminal end of the carrier departure area C', and suspended and supported by the rope 3 at the summit. Side terminal T
', But during this period, the hood 12 of the carrier 1 is controlled to open and close as follows.

That is, the carrier 1 that has arrived at the mountaintop side terminal T'progresses the carrier arrival area A ', and first passes through the unlock operation body 44 (see FIG. 7 (K)). At this time, the lock lever 22 is in the lock position as described above for the unmanned transporter 1 on which the passenger S is not a passenger, but the guide wheel 42 of the lock lever 22 rolls on the cam surface 44a of the unlock operation body 44. By being moved and pushed down, it is moved to the unlocked position (see FIG. 16).
On the other hand, with regard to the manned transporter 1 on which the passenger S is riding, since the lock lever 22 is in the unlocked position, the guide wheel 4
2 is not affected by the unlocking operation body 44, and the lock lever 22 is held in the unlocked position as it is. Therefore, the carrier 1 that has passed through the unlock operation body 44 is in a state in which the hood 12 can freely open and close it regardless of whether it is unmanned or not (see FIGS. 12 and 14). Then
The carrier 1 passes through the hood opening operation body 45 (see FIG. 7L). At this time, when the hood lever 21 is in the closing operation position, the guide wheel 33 of the hood lever 21 moves the hood opening operation body 45. The hood lever 21 is moved to the open operation position by rolling down on the cam surface 45a of the (FIG. 1).
0, FIG. 12 and FIG. 17). When the hood lever 21 is in the open operation position (the passenger S is on the carrier 1,
When the passenger S opens the hood 12), the passenger S is held in the open operation position as it is. Therefore, for the carrier 1 that has passed through the hood opening operation body 45, the hood 1 is always
In the state where 2 is in the open position, the vehicle is heading for the getting-off area B '.

When the passenger S is on the carrying device 1, the passenger S gets off the carrying device 1 while the carrying device 1 is proceeding in the getting-off area B '(see FIG. 8 (M)).

Thereafter, the unmanned carrier 1 is moved to the carrier starting area C.
To pass through the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 in sequence (see FIGS. 8 (N) and 9), and are gripped by the cord 3 at the terminal end of the carrying device starting area C, Depart from the mountaintop terminal T '.

At this time, since the hood closing operation body 51 and the lock operation body 52 are both held in the operating positions, the guide wheel 33 of the hood lever 21 is moved by the transporter 1 passing through the hood closing operation body 51. Rolled and pushed up on the cam surface 51a of the hood closing operation body 51 at the operating position,
The hood lever 21 is operated from the hood opening operation position to the hood closing operation position, and the hood 12 is forcibly closed (see FIGS. 14 and 18). Further, when the carrier 1 passes through the lock operation body 52, the guide wheel 42 of the lock lever 22 is at the cam 52 of the lock operation body 52 in the operating position.
a is rolled up and pushed up, the lock lever 22 is operated from the unlock position to the lock position, and the hood lever 21 is locked at the hood closing operation position (FIGS. 11 and 1).
3, see FIG. 20).

As described above, in all of the unmanned transporters 1 departing from the mountaintop side terminal T ', the hood 12 is locked in the closed position, and while the hood 12 is heading to the foothill side terminal T, the hood 12 is affected by the wind. It is possible to drive the cableway stably and safely without opening unexpectedly. Moreover, the cableway staff at the mountaintop-side terminal T ′ does not need to open the hood 12 when the passenger S descends from the transporter 1 or close the hood 12 when the transporter 1 departs. You can concentrate on your work.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be appropriately changed and improved without departing from the basic principle of the present invention.

That is, the structures of the levers 21, 22 and the mechanisms 23, 24, 25 provided at the foothill side terminal T and the mechanisms 23 ', 25' provided at the mountaintop side terminal T'have the above-mentioned functions. It is arbitrary as long as it is, and can be appropriately changed or improved as needed.
For example, in the hood opening operation mechanism 23, 23 ′, the unlocking operation body 44 or the hood opening operation body 45 is, like the hood opening operation body 51 or the lock operation body 52, spread over the operating position and the non-operating position. It may be configured such that it can be operated, and the guide wheels 33 and 42 of the levers 21 and 22 can be operated to the operating positions as required.
Further, the means for controlling these operating bodies so as to operate them in the operating position or the non-operating position is also optional. Further, the operating bodies 51, 52 of the mountaintop side hood lock operating mechanism 25 ', like the operating bodies 44, 45 of the mountaintop side hood opening operating mechanism 23', are at fixed positions (positions corresponding to the working positions of the above-described embodiment). It may be fixed to. Further, in the passenger detection mechanism 24, a laser sensor or the like can be used instead of the optical sensors 49a and 49b. Further, the limit switches 48, 50 and 53 are also optional, and in addition to the proximity switch, a tatte sensor, a photoelectric sensor or the like can be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to an automatic circulation cableway for transferring passengers S only from the foothill side terminal T to the mountaintop side terminal T'like a ski lift is shown. The invention can also be applied to a cableway that transfers passengers S from the mountaintop side terminal T ′ to the foothill side terminal T as well. In such a cableway,
At both terminals T and T ', the carrier 1 is configured to be pushed along a fixed route from the carrier arrival area to the carrier departure area via the getting-off area and the boarding area, and the opening and closing of the hood at the mountaintop side terminal T'is performed as described above. It may be carried out by the same means as the hood opening / closing means 23, 24, 25 on the foothill side. That is, in each of the terminals T and T ′, the lock lever is moved to the unlock position and the hood lever is moved to the open operation position for all the carriers moving in the carrier arrival area, and the hood is opened. The passengers on the carrier are arranged to proceed in the getting-off area and the boarding area, and the passengers get off while the carrying device is going through the getting-off area.The passenger opens the gate between the getting-off area and the getting-on area, and the carrying machine gets on the board. Allow passengers to board the carrier while traveling through the area. Then, with respect to the manned carrier in which the passengers board, the lock lever and the hood lever are not forcibly operated, and the manned carrier is departed from the terminal T, T '. On the other hand, for an unmanned transporter in which passengers do not board, the hood lever is forcibly moved to the closing operation position and the lock lever is forcibly moved to the lock position to lock the hood at the closed position, and then the terminals T, T '.
To leave.

[0059]

As can be easily understood from the above description, according to the present invention, for a manned carrier on which a passenger is a passenger, the passenger can leave the hood at the foot of the terminal while the passenger can freely open and close the hood. As for unmanned transporters without passengers, the terminal is set to leave in a locked state where the hood does not open.Therefore, while providing a safe and comfortable riding environment that respects the passengers' intentions, the terminal at the top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain It is possible to surely avoid the occurrence of dangerous situations such as derailment due to the effect of wind on the unmanned transporter heading to the side terminal.

Moreover, it is not necessary for the cableway staff at each terminal to open the hood of the carrier on which the passenger is going to board at the foothill side terminal, or the hood of the carrier on which the passenger is going to get off at the mountaintop side terminal. Since it is not necessary to close the hood of the unmanned transporter that departs from the terminal at the foot of the mountain or the terminal at the top of the mountain without getting in, it is possible to concentrate on the original passenger monitoring work with a small labor burden. Therefore, without arranging a full-time worker for opening and closing the hood, in combination with the above, safety management of the cableway can be ensured.
