Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable car equipment, and in particular to a cable car with a unidirectional damping effect. Background Art

[0002] Cable cars, a unique means of transportation, cleverly utilize the height difference of terrain and shuttle between valleys, urban high points or ski resorts in a cable-drawn manner, providing passengers with a convenient and fun transportation experience. It is not only an efficient personnel transportation system, but also allows passengers to enjoy the journey while overlooking the magnificent scenery along the way from the air, taking in the natural beauty and urban landscape. The cable car system is usually composed of sturdy steel cables, drive devices, load-bearing carriages (also known as gondolas or baskets), support towers and upper and lower platforms to achieve round trips up and down the mountain. In the urban public transportation system, cable cars, as a green travel mode, help alleviate ground traffic pressure, connect areas in the city that are difficult to directly access, and become an integral part of the modern urban three-dimensional transportation network. In short, with its unique charm, cable cars have become a bridge connecting nature and humanity and improving the quality of life.

[0003] In the existing cable car operating system, although the round-trip design has a uniform output speed to ensure the continuity of the trip, there is a slight imbalance: the speed during the descent is just right, meeting the passengers' expectations for comfort; however, when the cable car goes in the opposite direction and climbs upward, the energy released by the spring group reset mechanism causes the speed to increase, exceeding the gentle rhythm of the descent, which in turn affects the harmony and comfort of the passengers and reduces the overall riding comfort experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The device provides a cable car with a unidirectional damping effect, and the specific implementation is as follows:

[0005] A cable car with a unidirectional damping effect, comprising:

[0006] A steel cable and a carriage disposed on the steel cable through a guide wheel assembly;

[0007] A one-way damping assembly, which is connected between the carriage and the end of the steel cable through a pull rope to provide a damping and deceleration effect for the recovery of the carriage;

[0008] The one-way damping assembly includes a pair of rotating cylinders with a coil spring wound between the two. The end of the pull rope is wound around any rotating cylinder, and the rotating cylinder is connected to a one-way damping member. The damping member consists of a needle roller clutch, a damping seat and a damping swivel that are mutually sleeved and rotated frictionally connected. The input end of the needle roller clutch is connected to the rotating cylinder, and the output end is connected to the damping swivel. When the car body is recovered, in the rotation direction of the rotating cylinder, the needle roller clutch intervenes to trigger the damping deceleration effect between the damping seat and the damping swivel.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, a one-way damping component is used to provide a damping effect when the carriage returns, which effectively prevents the carriage from returning to the city at an excessively high speed due to the large restoring force of the coil spring, thereby reducing the impact on the riding experience.

[0010] Preferably, the steel cable is arranged obliquely from high to low, with a low seat and a high seat respectively provided at both ends, and the guide wheel assembly is installed on the top of the car through a mounting seat and a cover body; the guide wheel assembly includes a plurality of upper guide wheels and lower guide wheels which are respectively rotatably abutted against the upper and lower sides of the steel cable, and both are respectively installed in the cover body through vertical plates.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating cylinder is divided into a first rotating cylinder and a second rotating cylinder, a constant torque spring is wound between the two, and the first rotating cylinder is coaxially integrated with a wire-releasing cylinder, and one end of the pull rope is wound on the wire-releasing cylinder.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the constant torque spring ensures that when the carriage returns from the extended position to the initial position, it can provide a continuous and stable rebound force, which means that no matter where the carriage is during the return process, the torque provided by the spring remains basically unchanged. The return speed of the carriage can be kept constant and will not fluctuate due to changes in the spring force, thus ensuring smoothness and safety of operation.

[0013] Preferably, there are four ways to install the one-way damping assembly, specifically, a combination of the first two and the last two in the following forms:

[0014] Form 1: The one-way damping assembly is installed on the high seat, one end of the pull rope is wound around the wire drum, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat.

[0015] Form 2: The one-way damping component is integrated into the cover, and the other end of the pull rope is connected to the high seat.

[0016] Form three, the first rotating cylinder and the damping member are connected with different axes, the input end of the needle clutch is connected with a driven wheel, and the driven wheel is engaged with the second rotating cylinder.

[0017] Form 4: the first rotating cylinder and the damping member are coaxially connected, and the input end of the needle clutch is directly connected to the first rotating cylinder.

[0018] Preferably, there are two installation forms between the damping seat and the damping swivel, which are:

[0019] Firstly, the damping seat and the damping swivel are in contact with each other, and the contact surfaces are both set as brake disc surfaces.

[0020] Secondly, a gap is left between the damping seat and the damping swivel, and a plurality of magnetic blocks are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the corresponding surfaces of the two, and the magnetic properties of the magnetic blocks arranged on the two are opposite.

[0021] Based on the above technical solution, when relative rotation occurs between the damping seat and the damping swivel, a deceleration effect is generated. When the power transmission of the needle clutch causes them to rotate relative to each other, the resistance between the contact surfaces will be converted into heat energy, thereby consuming part of the kinetic energy and achieving smooth deceleration of the movement.

[0022] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The utility model provides a damping effect when the carriage returns through a one-way damping component, effectively preventing the carriage from returning to the city at an excessively high speed due to the large restoring force of the coil spring, thereby reducing the impact on the riding experience;

[0024] 2. The utility model has a simple structure and can provide a stable resetting force when the carriage is reset through the constant torque spring, that is, the return speed of the carriage is constant;

[0025] 3. The utility model improves the diversity of application of the one-way damping component by arranging the one-way damping component at a high seat or at the end of the carriage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] The following is combined with Figure 1-9 This application is described in further detail.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application discloses a cable car with a unidirectional damping effect.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The present embodiment discloses a cable car with a unidirectional damping effect, comprising a unidirectional damping component 6, a steel cable 3 and a carriage 1 arranged on the steel cable 3 through a guide wheel component 4, the unidirectional damping component 6 is connected between the carriage 1 and the end of the steel cable 3 through a pull rope 2, in this structure the unidirectional damping component 6 comprises a first rotating cylinder 601 and a second rotating cylinder 602, a constant torque spring 603 is wound between the two, and a pay-off drum 604 is coaxially integrated with the first rotating cylinder 601, one end of the pull rope 2 is wound on the pay-off drum 604, the end of the pull rope 2 is wound on any rotating cylinder, and the rotating cylinder is connected to a unidirectional damping member 606.

[0044] The steel cable 3 is arranged obliquely from high to low, and a low seat 7 and a high seat 8 are provided at both ends thereof. The guide wheel assembly 4 is installed on the top of the carriage 1 through the mounting seat 11 and the cover 5. In this structure, the guide wheel assembly 4 includes a plurality of upper guide wheels 401 and lower guide wheels 402 which are rotatably abutted against the upper and lower sides of the steel cable 3, respectively, and both are installed in the cover 5 through vertical plates.

[0045] The damping member 606 is composed of a needle roller clutch 6063, a damping seat 6061 and a damping swivel 6062 which are mutually sleeved and rotationally frictionally connected. The input end of the needle roller clutch 6063 is connected to the rotating cylinder, and the output end is connected to the damping swivel 6062.

[0046] The specific implementation method is as follows: when the car 1 moves from the high seat 8 to the low seat 7, the upper guide wheel 401 and the first rotating cylinder 601 rotate forwardly. At this time, under the action of the constant torque spring 603, the car 1 falls smoothly along the direction of the steel cable 3. In this state, the rotation direction of the first rotating cylinder 601 does not trigger the intervention of the needle clutch 6063, so no relative rotation occurs between the damping seat 6061 and the damping swivel 6062; when the car 1 moves from the low seat 7 to the high seat 8, the upper guide wheel 401 and the first rotating cylinder 601 rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, under the action of the constant torque spring 603, the car 1 is smoothly reset along the direction of the steel cable 3. In this state, the rotation direction of the first rotating cylinder 601 triggers the intervention of the needle clutch 6063, and the damping swivel 6062 rotates relative to the damping seat 6061. Affected by the friction between the two, the reset speed of the car 1 is slowed down.
