The intelligent trolley can be disassembled and installed on multiple ropeways for repeated use, greatly reducing the project cost.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention: An intelligent zip-line type mountain transportation device includes terminal poles respectively arranged at high and low positions. The terminal poles are connected by a steel wire rope, and an intelligent trolley is mounted on the steel wire rope; The intelligent trolley includes a bracket. An active wheel system is arranged on the upper part of the bracket, and a tensioning wheel system is arranged below the active wheel system. The active wheel system is supported on the steel wire rope, and the tensioning wheel system is in contact with the steel wire rope. Among them, the active wheel system includes an active wheel supported on the steel wire rope.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but it shall not be used as a basis for limiting the present invention

[0023] Embodiment of the present invention: An intelligent zip-line mountain transportation device, as Figures 1-5 shown, includes two terminal poles 2 respectively arranged at the mountaintop and the foot of the mountain. The two terminal poles 2 are connected by a steel wire rope 4, and an intelligent trolley 6 is mounted on the steel wire rope 4. The intelligent trolley 6 includes a bracket 6.3. The upper part of the bracket 6.3 is fixedly provided with a driving wheel system 6.1, and a tensioning wheel system 6.2 is arranged below the driving wheel system 6.1. The driving wheel system 6.1 is supported on the steel wire rope 4, while the tensioning wheel system 6.2 is in contact with the steel wire rope 4. The control units of the driving wheel system 6.1 and the tensioning wheel system 6.2 are electrically connected. Among them, the driving wheel system 6.1 includes a driving wheel 6.1.2 supported on the steel wire rope 4. The driving wheel 6.1.2 is sleeved on the wheel shaft, and the wheel shaft is rotatably connected to the reducer 6.1.1. The reducer 6.1.1 is fixed on the bracket 6.3. The input end of the reducer 6.1.1 is connected to the output end of the motor 6.1.3. The motor 6.1.3 is electrically connected to the controller 6.1.4 and the storage battery 6.1.5

[0024] The tensioning wheel system 6.2 includes a tensioning wheel 6.2.1 whose top is in contact with the bottom of the steel wire rope 4. The tensioning wheel 6.2.1 is fixedly sleeved on the wheel shaft 6.2.3. Both ends of the wheel shaft 6.2.3 are movably clamped into the vertically arranged chutes 6.3.1 on the bracket 6.3. A servo system 6.2.2 is also installed on the bracket 6.3 below the chute 6.3.1. The output end of the servo system 6.2.2 is connected to both ends of the wheel shaft 6.2.3 through a support frame. The servo system 6.2.2 is electrically connected to the storage battery 6.1.5 and the controller 6.1.4

[0025] The controller 6.1.4 and the servo system 6.2.2 are electrically connected to the remote controller 7. Instructions are sent from the remote controller 7 to the controller 6.1.4 and the servo system 6.2.2, thereby controlling the actions of the driving wheel system 6.1 and the tensioning wheel system 6.2.

[0026] Two remote controllers 7 are provided, which are respectively arranged on the lower terminal pole 2 and the cargo hanging position. The start and stop of the intelligent vehicle 6 can be controlled respectively at the lower terminal pole 2 and the cargo hanging position.

[0027] When the numbers of the driving wheel system 6.1 and the tensioning wheel system 6.2 are different, the driving wheel system 6.1 and the tensioning wheel system 6.2 are arranged in a staggered manner. There are 2 sets or more of the driving wheel system 6.1 and 1 set or more of the tensioning wheel system 6.2. This structure is mainly applicable to the round-trip transportation between high and low places in the mountain. The advantage of the staggered arrangement is that the adjustment range of the pressing force of the tensioning wheel system 6.2 on the steel wire rope 4 is relatively large, avoiding the excessive speed of the intelligent vehicle 6 during the downhill process, and multiple sets of driving wheel systems 6.1 can make the intelligent vehicle 6 more stable and avoid derailment.

[0028] In addition to being used for mountain transportation, the mountain transportation device of the present application can also be used for flat ground transportation. During flat ground transportation, there is only 1 set of both the driving wheel system 6.1 and the tensioning wheel system 6.2. The driving wheel 6.1.2 and the tensioning wheel 6.2.1 are engaged together above and below the steel wire rope 4, and the motor 6.1.3 only has an electric function, as Figure 5 shown.

[0029] A sensing device can also be installed on the steel wire rope 4 near the terminal pole 2. When the intelligent vehicle 6 travels to this position, it will automatically decelerate and stop.

[0030] A rotatable hook 6.4 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 6.3, and the cargo to be transported is hung by the hook 6.4.

[0031] A damping mechanism 3 is provided on the steel wire rope 4 near the terminal pole 2. The damping mechanism 3 is used to assist the intelligent vehicle 6 in decelerating and stopping.

[0032] A middle support rod 5 is provided between the terminal poles 2. The upper part of the middle support rod 5 supports the steel wire rope 4. According to the distance between the two terminal poles 2, the middle support rod 5 may not be provided, or one or more middle support rods 5 may be provided. The middle support rod 5 is used to support the steel wire rope 4 to prevent the steel wire rope 4 from sagging significantly.

[0033] The upper parts of the terminal poles 2 and the middle support rod 5 are fixedly connected to the ground through the guy wire 1. This ensures the structural stability of the terminal poles 2 and the middle support rod 5.

[0034] When the intelligent zip-line type mountain transportation device in this example is in use, at the cargo hanging point on the mountaintop or mountainside, the object to be transported is hung on the hook 6.4. Press the downward button of the remote controller 7, and the controller 6.1.4 controls the motor 6.1.3 to be in the power generation state. The output end of the servo system 6.2.2 retreats, resulting in a decrease in the pressing force of the support frame on the wheel axle 6.2.3, making the tensioning wheel 6.2.1 and the steel wire rope 4 in a natural fitting state or maintaining an appropriate pressure. Under the action of the gravity of the intelligent trolley 6 and the cargo, the driving wheel 6.1.2 rolls downward on the steel wire rope 4, driving the intelligent trolley 6 to slide downward along the steel wire rope 4 at an accelerated speed. When the driving wheel 6.1.2 rolls, it drives the reducer 6.1.1 to act through its wheel axle, and drives the motor 6.1.3 to rotate and generate electricity to charge the storage battery 6.1.5. When the rotation speed of the motor 6.1.3 reaches the preset value, the controller 6.1.4 controls the rotation speed of the motor 6.1.3 not to increase anymore, and through the reducer 6.1.1, the driving wheel 6.1.2 keeps rolling at a constant speed, and the intelligent trolley 6 travels downward at a preset speed uniformly; at the same time, the servo system 6.2.2 extends outwards, pushes the wheel axle 6.2.3 upward through the support frame, making the wheel axle 6.2.3 move upward along the chute 6.3.1, so that the tensioning wheel 6.2.1 presses the steel wire rope 4 tightly, preventing the driving wheel 6.1.2 from slipping on the steel wire rope 4. When the tensioning force of the tensioning wheel 6.2.1 pressing on the steel wire rope 4 is too large, the intelligent trolley 6 decelerates, the rotation speed of the motor 6.1.3 decreases, the controller 6.1.4 transmits a signal to the servo system 6.2.2, the servo system 6.2.2 retracts inwards, reducing the thrust on the wheel axle 6.2.3, and the intelligent trolley 6 accelerates. This process repeats, making the intelligent trolley 6 travel downward at a preset speed uniformly. When the storage battery 6.1.5 is fully charged, the motor 6.1.3 stops generating electricity. The servo system 6.2.2 is powered by the storage battery 6.1.5, and the storage battery 6.1.5 can be removed for charging.

[0035] When the intelligent trolley 6 reaches the foot of the mountain (or the mountaintop, or the location of the object to be transported on the mountainside), press the stop button of another remote controller 7 at the foot of the mountain (or the mountaintop, or the location of the object to be transported on the mountainside). The controller 6.1.4 controls the motor 6.1.3 to decelerate, and drives the driving wheel 6.1.2 to decelerate until it stops rolling through the reducer 6.1.1; at the same time, the servo system 6.2.2 pushes the wheel axle 6.2.3, making the tensioning wheel 6.2.1 press the steel wire rope 4 tightly until the intelligent trolley 6 stops. In addition, when the intelligent trolley 6 fails to stop in time, the damping mechanism 3 can also make the intelligent trolley 6 decelerate and stop.

[0036] After the object to be transported is removed from the hook 6.4 at the foot of the mountain, press the up button of another remote controller 7 at the foot of the mountain. Powered by the storage battery 6.1.5, the controller 6.1.4 controls the motor 6.1.3 to be in the electric state. The servo system 6.2.2 releases the pressing on the countershaft 6.2.3, and the tension wheel 6.2.1 is in a natural fit state with the steel wire rope 4 or maintains an appropriate pressure. The motor 6.1.3 drives the driving wheel 6.1.2 to roll through the reducer 6.1.1 until the intelligent trolley 6 travels upward at a preset speed uniformly.
