Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cableway technology, and specifically relates to a cableway system. Background Technology

[0002] A reciprocating cableway uses a carrying cable as its track and a traction cable as its power source, propelling the cabins back and forth between stations. The gantry in the cableway system is a crucial connecting device that suspends the cabins and ensures their safe reciprocating movement along the carrying cable. In related technologies, cableway systems typically employ a single-carrying, single-traction type, meaning a single carrying cable serves as the running track. Furthermore, in these technologies, the main gantry uses a "V"-shaped structure, with the maintenance basket directly welded to the main gantry and non-removable. This design suffers from poor sway resistance, especially under complex conditions such as large spans and significant elevation differences, or in severe weather conditions like heavy snow and strong winds, where the cabins may sway dramatically. Additionally, the main gantry has poor stress distribution, and the system operates under heavy loads. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. To this end, embodiments of this invention propose a cableway system with strong overall anti-sway capability and smoother carriage operation.

[0004] The cableway system of this invention includes a load-bearing cable, a gondola, a gantry, a buffer, and a cable clamp. There are at least two load-bearing cables, and these cables are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along their lengths. The gantry includes a frame and a traveling vehicle. The traveling vehicle is mounted on the frame and rotatable relative to the frame. The frame is connected to the gondola. The traveling vehicle is connected to at least two load-bearing cables and can travel along the length of the load-bearing cables. The buffer is connected between the frame and the traveling vehicle to buffer the relative rotation between the traveling vehicle and the frame. The cable clamp is connected to the traveling vehicle and can clamp and release the traction cable.

[0005] The cableway system of this invention features at least two parallel, spaced-apart load-bearing cables and employs a rotating carriage and frame structure. A buffer mitigates the rotational impact between the two, while a cable clamp ensures reliable clamping and release of the traction cables. This structure enhances the system's resistance to swaying in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, improving the stability and safety of the gondola operation. It is particularly suitable for reciprocating cableway transportation under long spans, complex terrain, and adverse weather conditions.

[0006] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes at least two traveling mechanisms, each corresponding to one of the at least two carrying cables, and the traveling mechanism can travel along the length of the carrying cable on its corresponding carrying cable.

[0007] In some embodiments, the walking mechanism includes a plurality of walking wheels arranged along the length direction of the carrying cable, the walking wheels being able to travel on the carrying cable along the length direction of the carrying cable.

[0008] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a beam, the traveling mechanism is disposed on the beam, the beam is rotatably connected to the frame, the buffer is connected between the beam and the frame, and the cable clamp is connected to the beam.

[0009] In some embodiments, the frame includes a first support member, a second support member, and a cross brace. The first support member, the second support member, and the cross brace are generally H-shaped. The beam is rotatably connected between the top of the first support member and the top of the second support member, and the hoist is connected between the bottom of the first support member and the bottom of the second support member.

[0010] In some embodiments, there are at least two buffers, and at least one of the buffers is connected to the first support member.

[0011] In some embodiments, there are at least two buffers, and at least one of the buffers is connected to the second support member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the frame includes a connecting component disposed on at least one of the first support member and the second support member, and for connecting the buffer.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes an ear plate connected to the frame and a plurality of connecting holes provided on the ear plate, the buffer being connected to one of the connecting holes, and the buffering force of the buffer being different when the buffer is connected to different connecting holes.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cross brace is provided with a protective sleeve, which is used to contact the traction cable when the cable clamp releases the traction cable.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cableway system further includes a cleaning assembly comprising a plurality of scrapers disposed at the ends of the operating vehicle along the length of the carrying cable.

[0016] In some embodiments, the scraper is provided with a groove recessed in a direction away from the carrying cable, and a gap is provided between the inner wall surface of the groove and the outer peripheral surface of the carrying cable.

[0017] In some embodiments, the cableway system further includes a maintenance basket that is detachably connected to the frame.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cableway system further includes foot pedals disposed on the frame and used to assist maintenance personnel in entering the maintenance basket.

[0019] The cableway system of this invention employs a parallel arrangement of two load-bearing cables, significantly improving lateral anti-sway performance and making the gondola operation more stable and reliable. The operating vehicle travels along the load-bearing cables via a traveling mechanism and can rotate relative to the frame. Combined with a buffer placed between the two, this effectively mitigates longitudinal sway and torsional impact, improving operational comfort and structural durability. Cable clamps enable rapid clamping and release of the traction cables, enhancing the flexibility of system control. Furthermore, through the adaptive design of the traveling mechanism and load-bearing cables, the structural optimization of the hangar, and the design of cleaning components and detachable maintenance baskets, the system further improves environmental adaptability and maintenance convenience.

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the cableway system of this embodiment includes a carrying cable 1, a gondola, a gantry 3, a buffer 4, and a cable clamp 5. There are at least two carrying cables 1, and the length directions of the at least two carrying cables 1 are parallel and spaced apart. The gantry 3 includes a frame 31 and a traveling vehicle 32. The traveling vehicle 32 is mounted on the frame 31 and is rotatable relative to the frame 31. The frame 31 is connected to the gondola. The traveling vehicle 32 is connected to at least two carrying cables 1 and can travel along the length direction of the carrying cables 1. The buffer 4 is connected between the frame 31 and the traveling vehicle 32 to buffer the relative rotation between the traveling vehicle 32 and the frame 31. The cable clamp 5 is connected to the traveling vehicle 32 and can clamp and release the traction cable 2.

[0030] This embodiment uses two load-bearing cables 1 and one traction cable 2 as an example for illustration. That is, this embodiment is a reciprocating cableway of the double-load-bearing single-traction type. The load-bearing cables 1 are arranged parallel to each other and at a certain distance, together forming the running track of the suspension frame 3 system. The arrangement of two load-bearing cables 1 significantly enhances the system's rigidity and anti-sway capability in the lateral direction (i.e., perpendicular to the running direction).

[0031] The gantry 3 includes a frame 31 and a traveling carriage 32. The traveling carriage 32 is mounted on the frame 31 via a rotatable connection (e.g., via a central shaft), but can also be hinged, with appropriate limits on the rotation angle, allowing the traveling carriage 32 to rotate relative to the frame 31 within a certain angle range. The bottom of the frame 31 is used to connect to and suspend the gondola, bearing the main load of the gondola. The traveling carriage 32 is connected to and placed on two support cables 1, allowing it to travel along the length of the support cables 1, thereby moving the entire gantry 3 and gondola along the cableway line.

[0032] The buffer 4 is connected between the frame 31 and the running car 32. When the gondola sways due to wind, uneven tracks, or starting and braking during operation, causing relative rotation between the running car 32 and the frame 31, the buffer 4 can provide damping force to absorb and dissipate the swaying energy, thereby effectively slowing down this relative rotation, suppressing the longitudinal sway of the gondola, and improving the smoothness of operation and the comfort of the passengers.

[0033] The cable clamp 5 is connected to the running car 32 and its function is to cooperate with the independent traction cable 2. The cable clamp 5 has two states: clamping and releasing. During normal operation, the cable clamp 5 clamps the traction cable 2, which provides power to pull the entire gantry 3 system along the support cable 1. In case of rail replacement, maintenance, or emergency rescue, the cable clamp 5 can release the traction cable 2, allowing it to detach from the running car 32. In addition, the cable clamp 5 is located between the running car 32 and the traction cable 2. When the cable clamp 5 clamps the traction cable 2, the running car 32 will be locked between the support cable 1 and the traction cable 2, improving the stability of the running car 32 and preventing it from detaching from the support cable 1.

[0034] This embodiment achieves more stable and safer reciprocating operation of the gondola under complex lines and severe weather conditions by combining a double-bearing cable 1 structure with a relatively rotatable hanger 3 and configuring a buffer 4 to reduce sway.

[0035] In some embodiments, the vehicle 32 includes at least two walking mechanisms 321, each corresponding to at least two carrying cables 1. The walking mechanism 321 can travel along the length of the carrying cable 1 on its corresponding carrying cable 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the operating vehicle 32 includes at least two traveling mechanisms 321, for example, two, meaning the number of traveling mechanisms 321 is the same as the number of support cables 1, and they correspond one-to-one. Each traveling mechanism 321 includes multiple traveling wheels 3211, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the corresponding support cable 1. The groove of each traveling wheel 3211 is adapted to the shape of the support cable 1, so that the traveling wheel 3211 can stably straddle the support cable 1 and roll on the support cable 1, thereby enabling the operating vehicle 32 to travel smoothly along the length direction of the support cable 1.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the number of walking wheels 3211 in each walking mechanism 321 is set as needed, such as four, eight, sixteen, etc.

[0038] By setting multiple traveling wheels 3211, the load of the gantry can be distributed more evenly on the load-bearing cable 1, reducing local pressure, improving load-bearing capacity, and making the transition of the running vehicle 32 smoother when passing through cable clamps or joints.

[0039] In some embodiments, the vehicle 32 further includes a beam 322, a traveling mechanism 321 is disposed on the beam 322, the beam 322 is rotatably connected to the frame 31, a buffer 4 is connected between the beam 322 and the frame 31, and a cable clamp 5 is connected to the beam 322.

[0040] In this embodiment, the vehicle 32 also includes a beam 322. At least two traveling mechanisms 321 are fixedly mounted on the beam 322. The beam 322 itself is rotatably connected to the frame 31 of the hanger 3 through a rotating pair (e.g., a bearing and shaft combination), so that the beam 322 of the vehicle 32 (together with the traveling mechanisms 321 thereon) can rotate relative to the frame 31.

[0041] One end of the buffer 4 is connected to the beam 322, and the other end is connected to the frame 31. Therefore, when the beam 322 rotates relative to the frame 31, the buffer 4 is stretched or compressed, thereby directly buffering and damping the relative rotation between the beam 322 and the frame 31.

[0042] The cable clamp 5 is directly installed or connected to the beam 322. When the cable clamp 5 clamps the traction cable 2, the traction cable 2, the cable clamp 5, and the beam 322 form a relatively fixed connection. At this time, the running car 32 is constrained vertically between the load-bearing cable 1 and the tensioned traction cable 2, and is also laterally constrained by the traction cable 2. This "clamping" effect formed by the load-bearing cable 1 and the traction cable 2 greatly enhances the adhesion stability and anti-derailment ability of the running car 32 under complex working conditions (such as strong winds and swaying), further improving the operational safety and reliability of the entire cableway system.

[0043] In some embodiments, the frame 31 includes a first support member 311, a second support member 312, and a cross brace 313. The first support member 311, the second support member 312, and the cross brace 313 are generally H-shaped. The beam 322 is rotatably connected between the top of the first support member 311 and the top of the second support member 312, and the hoist is connected to the bottom of the first support member 311 and the bottom of the second support member 312.

[0044] In this embodiment, the frame 31 of the hanger 3 adopts a specific H-shaped structure. Specifically, the frame 31 includes a first support member 311, a second support member 312, and a cross brace 313. The first support member 311 and the second support member 312 are arranged approximately parallel and spaced apart, and the cross brace 313 connects the first support member 311 and the second support member 312, so that the three together form a stable frame structure that is approximately H-shaped. The beam 322 of the running vehicle 32 is rotatably connected between the top of the first support member 311 and the top of the second support member 312. For example, the top of the first support member 311 and the top of the second support member 312 are provided with mounting holes, and bearings are provided in the mounting holes. The two ends of the beam 322 are connected to the inner ends of the bearings via rotating shafts.

[0045] The bottom of the first support member 311 and the bottom of the second support member 312 can be directly connected to the gondola, or they can be connected to a base, and then the gondola can be connected to the base. The base can further close and strengthen the bottom of the first support member 311 and the second support member 312, and also enhance the connection with the gondola. The base can be a square frame with sleeves installed at the four corners of the frame. The upper end of the gondola is connected by inserting rods into the sleeves.

[0046] This H-shaped frame structure forms a stable, closed stress-bearing structure. Compared to the "V"-shaped structure in related technologies, it has better stress distribution and overall stability.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are at least two buffers 4, with at least one buffer 4 connected to the first support 311. At least one buffer 4 is connected to the second support 312.

[0048] In this embodiment, multiple buffers 4 are provided. These buffers 4 are connected between the beam 322 of the traveling vehicle 32 and the H-shaped frame 31. For example, one buffer 4 can be connected between the beam 322 and the first support member 311, while another buffer 4 can be connected between the beam 322 and the second support member 312, forming a symmetrical arrangement. This symmetrical arrangement of buffers 4 can more evenly buffer the longitudinal sway from both sides of the gondola, suppress possible torsion of the frame 31, and make the buffering effect more stable and efficient.

[0049] In some embodiments, the frame 31 includes a connecting assembly 314, which is disposed on at least one of the first support member 311 and the second support member 312, and is used to connect the buffer 4. The connecting assembly 314 includes an ear plate 3141 connected to the frame 31 and a plurality of connecting holes 3142 disposed on the ear plate 3141. The buffer 4 is connected to one of the connecting holes 3142. When the buffer 4 is connected to different connecting holes 3142, the buffering force of the buffer 4 is different.

[0050] This embodiment further optimizes the installation structure of the buffer 4, making its buffering force adjustable. Specifically, a connecting assembly 314 is provided on the frame 31 (which may specifically be the first support 311 and / or the second support 312). This connecting assembly 314 is used to connect the end of the buffer 4 away from the beam 322. The connecting assembly 314 includes ear plates 3141 fixedly connected to the frame 31, and a plurality of connecting holes 3142 formed on the ear plates 3141. The installation method and number of ear plates 3141 can be selected as needed, for example, with... Figure 3As shown, there are two ear plates 3141. One end of the buffer 4 (e.g., the connecting ring at the end of the spring telescopic rod) is located between the two ear plates 3141 and is hinged to one of the connecting holes 3142 on the ear plate 3141 by means of a pin, bolt, etc.

[0051] Furthermore, when the buffer 4 is connected to the connecting holes 3142 at different heights or positions on the ear plate 3141, the initial length or installation angle of the buffer 4 will change. This change in geometry directly affects the magnitude and gradient of the tensile and compressive forces experienced by the buffer 4 when the frame 31 swings, thereby adjusting its buffering force (damping characteristics). This enhances the adaptability of the cableway system to different working conditions and helps optimize ride comfort.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the end of the buffer 4 connected to the beam 322 is hinged to the beam 322, and the beam 322 may be provided with the same connecting component 314 as the frame 31 to further adjust the position and length of the buffer 4.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the buffer 4 includes one of a spring telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, or a hydraulic telescopic rod. These different types of buffers 4 can all generate damping force during extension and contraction through their internal elastic elements (such as springs) or fluid media (such as gas or hydraulic oil), thereby achieving the function of absorbing energy and reducing sway. Depending on the actual requirements for buffering performance, cost, environmental adaptability, and other factors, a suitable type of buffer 4 can be flexibly selected.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, the central axis of the buffer 4 forms an angle with the length direction (perpendicular to the load-bearing cable 1) of the first support 311 or the second support 312 to which it is connected, meaning that the two are not parallel. This inclined installation method allows the buffer 4 to more effectively exert a damping effect when the frame 31 swings.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cross brace 313 is provided with a protective sleeve 3131, which is used to contact the traction cable 2 when the cable clamp 5 releases the traction cable 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, the frame 31, which is generally H-shaped, has a protective sleeve 3131 on its cross brace 313. This protective sleeve 3131 is preferably made of a wear-resistant and elastic material (such as nylon, rubber, or polyurethane) and is fixedly fitted or covered on a specific area of ​​the cross brace 313. Alternatively, the protective sleeve 3131 can be formed by two semi-circular shells fastened together for easy installation and removal. Protrusions can be provided at both ends of the protective sleeve 3131 along the length of the cross brace 313 to prevent the traction cable 2 from slipping off the protective sleeve 3131; for example, a clamp can be used to simultaneously secure the protective sleeve 3131.

[0057] The main function of the protective sleeve 3131 is to provide protection. When the cable clamp 5 performs the release action and loosens its grip on the traction cable 2, the traction cable 2 may sag due to its own weight or external forces. At this time, the traction cable 2 will fall onto and contact the protective sleeve 3131 on the cross brace 313, rather than directly making hard contact and friction with the metal surface of the cross brace 313.

[0058] By installing the protective sleeve 3131, the direct scraping or impact between the traction cable 2 and the cross brace 313 in the released state can be effectively prevented, thereby significantly reducing the wear of the traction cable 2 under this working condition and extending its service life. This is especially beneficial when operations such as cableway rescue, inspection, or maintenance require the release of the traction cable 2, thus reducing wear on the traction cable 2.

[0059] In some specific embodiments, the protective sleeve 3131 is rotatably connected to the cross brace 313. This rotatable connection further reduces wear on the traction cable 2.

[0060] In some embodiments, the cableway system further includes a cleaning assembly 6, which includes a plurality of scrapers 61 disposed at the ends of the running vehicle 32 along the length direction of the carrying cable 1. The scrapers 61 are provided with grooves 611 recessed in a direction away from the carrying cable 1, and a gap is provided between the inner wall surface of the grooves 611 and the outer peripheral surface of the carrying cable 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 6 includes a plurality of scrapers 61, which are disposed at the front end and / or rear end of the running vehicle 32 along the length of the carrier cable 1. The working portion of each scraper 61 (i.e., the portion opposite to the carrier cable 1) is provided with a groove 611 recessed in a direction away from the carrier cable 1. The contour of the groove 611 is generally designed to be an arc shape that conforms to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the carrier cable 1, for example, an approximate semicircle.

[0062] The key is that a specific gap is designed between the inner wall of the groove 611 and the outer circumference of the support cable 1. In other words, the scraper 61 does not tightly wrap around or directly press the support cable 1, but forms an enclosing structure through the groove 611, maintaining a certain space between the two.

[0063] The gap reduces the contact area and frictional resistance between the scraper 61 and the surface of the carrier cable 1, thus reducing operating resistance and the risk of wear on the carrier cable 1 while ensuring effective cleaning. Furthermore, the gap design allows the scraper 61 to tolerate small oscillations of the carrier cable 1, improving the adaptability of the cleaning assembly 6 under different operating conditions.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cableway system further includes a maintenance basket 7, which is detachably connected to the frame 31. The cableway system also includes a footrest 8, which is disposed on the frame 31 and is used to assist maintenance personnel in entering the maintenance basket 7.

[0065] In this embodiment, the maintenance basket 7 is installed on the frame 31 via a detachable connection. For example, the maintenance basket 7 can be equipped with multiple hooks or loops that engage with connecting posts or rods welded or fixed to corresponding positions on the frame 31 (e.g., the second support member 312), and are locked by inserting safety pins. This design allows the maintenance basket 7 to be quickly installed on the frame 31 only when equipment inspection, maintenance, or rescue operations are required, providing a safe working platform for personnel. During normal passenger operation, the maintenance basket 7 can be easily disassembled, thereby significantly reducing the additional suspended mass of the system and lowering operating load and energy consumption.

[0066] In addition, the footrest 8 is fixedly installed on the frame 31 in an easily accessible position, such as on the second support member 312 below or to the side of the installation point of the maintenance basket 7. The footrest 8 can be a welded tread, step, or guardrail, etc. Its function is to provide a stable foot support point for maintenance personnel when going up and down the maintenance basket 7, assisting them to safely and conveniently enter or leave the working area of ​​the maintenance basket 7, and reducing the risk of working at height.

[0067] The beneficial effects of the cableway system according to the embodiments of the present invention are summarized as follows: 1. This invention is applicable to reciprocating cableways of the double-bearing single-traction type. Because there are two bearing cables 1 as tracks, the overall lateral anti-sway capability is strong, and the carriage runs more smoothly.

[0068] 2. The frame 31 of the present invention has an "H"-shaped closed bottom structure with a supporting steel pipe in the middle, which makes the overall force better and the stability better.

[0069] 3. The present invention uses a detachable maintenance basket 7, which is only used when maintenance is required and does not increase the system operating load.

[0070] 4. The frame 31 of this invention is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve, which can effectively reduce the wear of the traction cable 2 and improve the service life of the traction cable 2 during cableway rescue.

[0071] 5. The present invention is equipped with a cleaning component 6 at each end of the running vehicle 32, which can effectively remove snow, ice, debris and other debris from the carrying cable 1, thereby improving the safety of cableway operation.

[0072] 6. The present invention provides a buffer 4 between the running car 32 and the frame 31, which can effectively reduce the longitudinal sway of the cableway system and improve the stability and comfort of the car operation.
