AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In windy weather, when the gondola swings excessively, the existing cableway system may cause the cable grip to collide with the rope catcher on the support frame, leading to safety accidents. Furthermore, the existing monitoring methods are highly subjective and have a delayed response.

Method used

The system employs a multi-sensor fusion design, including laser rangefinders or ultrasonic sensors installed on the gondola to detect the distance between the operating wheel and the rope catcher, and tilt or acceleration sensors installed inside the gondola to measure the amount of sway. Combined with the cableway control system, the speed is adjusted in real time, and a buffer layer is provided on the support frame to reduce collisions.

Benefits of technology

It enables real-time monitoring of the gondola's swaying status, prevents accidents caused by the cable grip detaching, improves the safety of cableway operation, has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is suitable for upgrading existing systems.

Abstract

This invention provides a cableway gondola safety protection device based on multi-sensor fusion, belonging to the field of cableway safety technology. It includes: a gondola, a cable grip, an operating wheel, a wire rope, a rope catcher, and a support frame. The cable grip is installed on the gondola for locking with the wire rope, and the operating wheel is mounted on the cable grip. The rope catcher is installed on the side of the cableway support frame wheel assembly. It also includes sensor I, installed on the operating wheel of the cable grip, for detecting the distance between the operating wheel and the side of the rope catcher on the support frame. Furthermore, it includes sensor II, installed inside the gondola, for measuring the gondola's sway. This invention can monitor the gondola's sway in real time, prevent collisions between the operating wheel and the support frame, and improve cableway operation safety; it has a simple structure and is easy to install.
