Description

La présente invention concerne les installations de transport par câble tel que des tramways, funiculaires ou navettes. Il existe en effet des systèmes auto propulsé tels que les trains qui sont mus par des moteurs électriques linéaires ou non, ou par des moteurs diesel et des systèmes tracté par câbles.The present invention relates to cable transport installations such as trams, funiculars or shuttles. There are indeed self propelled systems such as trains that are driven by linear electric motors or not, or by diesel engines and towed systems by cables.

Ce type d'installation comporte des cabines ou des wagons qui nécessitent un support pour leur guidage et des moyens de traction. Le plus souvent le guidage est assuré par deux rails sur lesquels la cabine équipée de roues circule. Ces rails servent au guidage par l'intermédiaire de deux roues. Chaque rail est en contact avec une ou deux roues selon le cas. Soit chaque roue roule sur un rail soit les deux roue roule de part et d'autre du même rail.This type of installation comprises cabins or wagons that require support for their guidance and traction means. Most often the guidance is provided by two rails on which the cabin equipped with wheels circulates. These rails serve for guiding by means of two wheels. Each rail is in contact with one or two wheels as appropriate. Either each wheel rolls on a rail or both wheels roll on both sides of the same rail.

La traction est assurée par un ou plusieurs câbles, chaque câble formant une boucle fermée tournant dans le même sens ou alternativement dans un sens puis dans l'autre selon le cas.The traction is provided by one or more cables, each cable forming a closed loop rotating in the same direction or alternately in one direction and then in the other as appropriate.

La cabine ou le wagon est relié au câble soit de façon fixe soit de façon amovible. Quand la cabine est reliée de façon fixe au câble celui-ci tourne dans un premier sens pour amener la cabine d'un terminal à l'autre, puis en sens inverse pour effectuer le retour. Quand la cabine est reliée de façon amovible, tel que décrit dans le brevet EP 611 220 , une pince de fixation permet de passer d'un câble à l'autre et ainsi de changer de câble en bout de ligne ou au cours du parcours dans le cas de système dit « long loop » où plusieurs câbles se succèdent sur le parcours, ces passages constituent des espèces de relais dans le parcours.The cab or car is connected to the cable either fixedly or removably. When the cab is fixedly connected to the cable, the cable rotates in one direction to bring the cab from one terminal to the other, then in the opposite direction to make the return. When the cab is removably connected, as described in the patent EP 611 220 , a clamping device allows to go from one cable to another and thus to change cable end of line or during the course in the case of so-called "long loop" system where several cables succeed one another on the course, these passages constitute relay species in the course.

Ces différents systèmes entrainent des aménagements importants pour assurer le guidage des cabines et on a cherché à réduire l'encombrement en utilisant des systèmes à une seule voie de circulation. Ces systèmes nécessitent la création de zones de croissement aussi appelés « by-pass » afin qu'au moins deux cabines puissent circuler en même temps. Ces zones de croisement sont le plus souvent placées à des arrêts.These different systems entail major adjustments to guide the cabins and sought to reduce congestion using single-lane systems. These systems require the creation of crossing zones also called "by-pass" so that at least two cabins can circulate at the same time. These crossing areas are most often placed at stops.

Cependant, ces systèmes peuvent nécessiter des aiguillages complexes pour permettre aux cabines d'aborder chaque zone de croissement. L'aiguillage doit comporter deux rails mobiles pour diriger les roues de chaque cabine dans le cas où chaque roue circule sur un rail propre, l'aiguillage est alors lourd à manipuler et encombrant.However, these systems may require complex referrals to allow cabins to approach each crest zone. The switch must have two movable rails to direct the wheels of each cabin in the case where each wheel runs on a clean rail, the switch is then heavy to handle and cumbersome.

Un autre système a été développé consistant à placer un rail auxiliaire au droit de l'entrée de la zone de croisement, ledit rail est situé à l'extérieur guidant la roue extérieure de la cabine d'un coté ou de l'autre, la roue intérieure étant momentanément sans guidage jusqu'à l'entrée à la station.Another system has been developed consisting of placing an auxiliary rail to the right of the entrance of the crossing zone, said rail is located outside guiding the outer wheel of the cabin on one side or the other, the inner wheel being momentarily unguided until the entrance to the station.

Dans le cas où la cabine est dirigée par un seul rail, le parcours comprend deux rails dédiés soit à l'aller soit au retour, la cabine changeant de rail en bout de trajet (au terminus) .In the case where the cabin is directed by a single rail, the path includes two rails dedicated either to the return or return, the cabin changing rail at the end of the path (terminus).

L'inconvénient de ces types de systèmes est qu'ils nécessitent d'avoir au moins un mur latéral continu sur tout le trajet de la cabine afin d'y placer le rail ou les rails de guidage, ce qui entraine un encombrement plus important. La place disponible pour installer ces moyens de transport est parfois limitée quand ils doivent s'insérer dans des rues existantes tout en permettant une circulation des autres véhicules et des piétons.The disadvantage of these types of systems is that they need to have at least one continuous side wall along the entire path of the cabin to place the rail or the guide rails, resulting in a larger footprint. The space available to install these means of transport is sometimes limited when they have to fit into streets while allowing other vehicles and pedestrians to circulate.

L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de transport à la fois simple et peu encombrant.The object of the present invention is to provide a transport device that is both simple and compact.

Le dispositif de transport selon l'invention comprend une cabine pour recevoir des passagers, un système de guidage et un système de traction par câble, il est caractérisé en ce que le système de guidage est constitué d'un rail central unique (c'est-à-dire placé au milieu de la cabine) auquel coopère des éléments tels que par exemple des roues solidaires de la cabine ou des patins si le train se déplace a faible vitesse. Ainsi il n'y a plus de mur latéral pour soutenir le ou les rails de guidage ce qui permet de limiter la largeur de la voie neutralisée par le dispositif. Les roues de la cabine peuvent être situées latéralement de chaque coté du rail central.The transport device according to the invention comprises a cabin for receiving passengers, a guidance system and a cable traction system, it is characterized in that the guide system consists of a single central rail (it is ie placed in the middle of the cabin) with which cooperates elements such as for example wheels integral with the cabin or pads if the train moves at low speed. Thus there is no longer a side wall to support the guide or rails which limits the width of the channel neutralized by the device. The wheels of the cabin can be located laterally on each side of the central rail.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le système de traction est disposé sur au moins un des cotés de la cabine. Chaque cabine est donc tractée par un câble situé sur le coté de la voie, ceci est beaucoup moins pénalisant que le rail puisque ce câble n'a besoin que d'un support ponctuel, ce qui ne nécessite que la pose de plots de support et non d'un mur.According to a particular characteristic, the traction system is disposed on at least one of the sides of the cabin. Each cabin is towed by a cable located on the side of the track, this is much less penalizing than the rail since this cable needs only a point support, which requires only the installation of support pads and no of a wall.

Selon une disposition particulière, le système de traction peut comprendre deux câbles disposés de chaque coté de la cabine. Dans ce cas, chacun des câbles est affecté à un sens de circulation de la cabine. C'est en particulier le cas où on a une voie unique et un évitement lors des croisements.According to a particular arrangement, the traction system may comprise two cables arranged on each side of the cabin. In this case, each of the cables is assigned to a direction of circulation of the cabin. This is particularly the case where we have a single lane and avoidance during crossings.

Selon une variante, la cabine est accrochée de façon fixe sur le câble du système de traction. Ainsi chaque cabine a un câble attitré et dans le cas où il n'y a qu'une voie de circulation, la distance entre chaque cabine et la gestion du déplacement des cabines sont définies pour que les cabines ne puissent se croiser que dans des zones de croisement lorsqu'il y en a.Alternatively, the cab is fixedly hung on the cable of the traction system. So each cabin has a dedicated cable and in case there is only one taxiway, the distance between each cabin and the management of the displacement of the cabins are defined so that the cabins can cross only in crossing areas when there are.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la cabine est accrochée de façon amovible au câble de traction, par l'intermédiaire d'une pince. L'avantage de cette configuration est que les cabines peuvent changer de câble soit en fin de course au terminus pour repartir dans l'autre sens, soit en cours de parcours dans les configurations dit « long loop ».According to another embodiment, the cab is removably hooked to the traction cable, via a clamp. The advantage of this configuration is that the cabins can change cable either at the end of the race to the terminus to start in the other direction, or during the course in so-called "long loop" configurations.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le câble de traction est en boucle fermée. Le câble constitue une boucle fermée tournant entre deux poulies terminales et des poulies intermédiaires.According to a particular characteristic, the traction cable is in a closed loop. The cable constitutes a closed loop rotating between two end pulleys and intermediate pulleys.

Selon une variante, le système de traction comprend plusieurs câbles en boucle fermée et présentant des zones de recouvrement. C'est un système « long loop », les zones de recouvrement servent au transfert de la pince de la cabine d'un des câbles vers l'autre pour que la cabine puisse poursuivre son parcours dans la partie suivante.
Selon une autre variante, le dispositif circule au moins partiellement sur une voie unique et ladite voie de circulation comprend des zones de croisement des cabines où la voie de circulation se divise en deux voies. L'avantage d'une voie unique est l'encombrement réduit du dispositif. Les cabines se croisent dans ces zones de croisement qui sont le plus part du temps des stations où les passagers peuvent descendre des cabines. Le dispositif peut aussi circuler totalement sur une voie unique. En effet on peut imaginer une voie unique avec un rail central et un train en mode « va et vient » ou une voie unique avec un court circuit ou « by pass » avec un rail central et deux trains en mode « va et vient » ou encore deux voies parallèles : 2 fois une voie unique avec un rail central et un train en mode « va ou vient ».According to one variant, the traction system comprises several cables in closed loop and presenting overlapping zones. It is a "long loop" system, the overlapping areas are used to transfer the clamp from the cab from one cable to another so that the cabin can continue its journey in the next part.
According to another variant, the device circulates at least partially on a single lane and said lane comprises crossing areas of the cabins where the lane divides into two lanes. The advantage of a single channel is the reduced size of the device. The cabins intersect in these crossing areas which are most of the time stations where passengers can get off cabins. The device can also circulate completely on a single path. Indeed we can imagine a single track with a central rail and a train in "back and forth" mode or a single track with a short circuit or "bypass" with a central rail and two trains in "back and forth" mode or two parallel tracks: 2 times a single track with a central rail and a train in "back and forth" mode .

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la voie unique se divise en deux voies grâce à un aiguillage.According to a particular characteristic, the single lane divides into two lanes by means of a switch.

Selon une première variante, l'aiguillage est constitué de deux lames chacune étant articulées à l'une des deux voies. Chaque lame est articulée sur une des deux voies de la zone de croisement, et selon si on veut diriger la cabine sur l'une ou l'autre des voies, la lame correspondante à la voie où l'on souhaite engager la cabine est mise en continuité avec la voie unique.According to a first variant, the switch consists of two blades each being articulated to one of the two channels. Each blade is articulated on one of the two lanes of the crossing zone, and if one wants to direct the cabin on one or the other of the lanes, the blade corresponding to the lane where one wishes to engage the cabin is put in continuity with the single track.

Selon une deuxième variante, l'aiguillage est constitué de deux lames rigides reliées entre elles par au moins une traverse. Les lames sont reliées de façon convergente sur les traverses ; l'ensemble des deux lames et des traverses pouvant coulisser pour mettre une des deux lames en continuité d'un coté avec la voie unique et de l'autre avec une des voies de la zone de croisement.According to a second variant, the switch consists of two rigid blades interconnected by at least one cross member. The blades are convergently connected to the sleepers; all of the two blades and slidable cross to put one of the two blades in continuity on one side with the single lane and the other with one of the lanes of the crossing zone.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la cabine est montée sur cousins d'air. Dans le cas où le guidage de la cabine n'est pas assuré par le roulement sur les rails mais par le contact latéral des roues sur le rail, la cabine doit être supportée pour son déplacement, ce qui est alors réalisé par cousin d'air.
L'invention couvre aussi d'autre mode de déplacement tel que le roulement pneumatique.According to a particular characteristic, the cabin is mounted on air cushions. In the case where the guiding of the cabin is not ensured by the rolling on the rails but by the lateral contact of the wheels on the rail, the cabin must be supported for its displacement, which is then done by air cousin .
The invention also covers other mode of displacement such as the pneumatic bearing.

La figure 1 illustre un système simple où chaque cabine 1 a son câble et sa voie de circulation 2. Une ou plusieurs stations S2 sont placées sur le parcours.The figure 1 illustrates a simple system where each cabin 1 has its cable and taxiway 2. One or more stations S2 are placed on the course.

La figure 2 illustre une variante du précédent système où le trajet est réalisé grâce à plusieurs câbles 3, 3'. En effet, pour que la traction des cabines 1 soit optimum le câble 3 doit être suffisamment tendu pour tirer la ou les cabines 1 et à partir d'une certaine longueur cette tension n'est plus atteinte, il faut donc prévoir un deuxième câble 3' pour assurer la traction des cabines 1 sur la suite du parcours. On peut ainsi réaliser un parcours de n'importe quelle longueur en ajoutant à chaque fois un nouveau câble 3'. Dans ce cas, la cabine 1 passe d'un câble à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une pince amovible (non représentée) dans une station S3, comme illustré à la figure 3bis.The figure 2 illustrates a variant of the previous system where the path is achieved through several cables 3, 3 '. Indeed, in order for the traction of the cabins 1 to be optimum, the cable 3 must be sufficiently stretched to pull the cab (s) 1 and from a certain length this voltage is no longer reached, a second cable must therefore be provided 3 'to ensure the traction of the cabins 1 on the continuation of the course. One can thus achieve a journey of any length by adding each time a new cable 3 '. In this case, the cabin 1 passes from one cable to the other via a removable clip (not shown) in a station S3, as shown in FIG. figure 3bis .

La figure 3 montre un système à plusieurs cabines 1 et à une seule voie de circulation 2 avec une ou plusieurs stations S2 qui sert de zone de croisement aux cabines circulant en sens inverse.The figure 3 shows a multi-cabin system 1 and a single traffic lane 2 with one or more stations S2 which serves as a crossing zone for cabins flowing in the opposite direction.

La figure 3bis illustre une variante du système précédent où une station intermédiaire S2 permet à la cabine 1 de passer d'un premier câble 3 à un deuxième câble 3' aussi appelé « mode long loop ».The figure 3bis illustrates a variant of the previous system where an intermediate station S2 allows the cabin 1 to pass from a first cable 3 to a second cable 3 'also called "long loop mode".

Sur la figure 4a on voit une cabine 1 avec deux rails de guidage horizontaux 20 sur chacune desquels roule une roue 10. La cabine 1 est donc équipée de roues 10 disposées sous la cabine 1 mais dont l'axe de rotation est vertical permettant le roulement de chacune des roues 10 sur les rails horizontaux 20. La traction est assurée par un câble 3 situé latéralement par rapport à la voie de roulement et soutenu par des poulies 30 placées sur le coté de la voie de circulation. La cabine 1 se déplace sur deux cousins d'air 11. Une troisième roue 101 également placée sous la cabine à l'extérieur d'une des deux roues 10 permet le guidage de la cabine 1 dans les zones de croisement aux stations. La cabine 1 est reliée au câble 3 par une pince 12.On the figure 4a we see a cabin 1 with two horizontal guide rails 20 on each of which rolls a wheel 10. The cabin 1 is equipped with wheels 10 arranged under the cabin 1 but whose axis of rotation is vertical allowing the rolling of each wheel 10 on the horizontal rails 20. The traction is provided by a cable 3 located laterally relative to the raceway and supported by pulleys 30 placed on the side of the taxiway. The cabin 1 moves on two air cushions 11. A third wheel 101 also placed under the cab outside one of the two wheels 10 allows the guidance of the cabin 1 in the crossing areas at the stations. The cabin 1 is connected to the cable 3 by a clamp 12.

La cabine 1 illustrée à la figure 4b comporte deux roues 10 disposées sous la cabine 1 avec un axe de rotation vertical les deux roues 10 roulant sur un seul rail 20 disposé verticalement. La traction est assurée par un câble 3 placé à l'extérieur de la voie de circulation de la cabine 1, ledit câble est soutenu par des poulies 30 situées sur le coté de ladite voie de circulation et le long de celle-ci. La cabine 1 est reliée au câble 3 par une pince 12. Le principe de ce dispositif est décrit dans le brevet FR 2 942 194 .Cabin 1 illustrated at figure 4b comprises two wheels 10 arranged under the cabin 1 with a vertical axis of rotation the two wheels 10 rolling on a single rail 20 arranged vertically. The traction is provided by a cable 3 placed outside the taxiway of the cabin 1, said cable is supported by pulleys 30 located on the side of said traffic lane and along it. The cabin 1 is connected to the cable 3 by a clamp 12. The principle of this device is described in the patent FR 2 942 194 .

Dans la figure 4c, la cabine 1 a des roues 10 en acier disposées sous ladite cabine 1 et avec un axe de rotation horizontal. Les rails 20 sont disposés verticalement et les roues 10 roulent de façon classique sur les rails 20. La traction est assurée par un câble 3 placé entre les deux roues 10, ledit câble est soutenu par une poulie 30 situé en dessous de la cabine 1 entre les deux rails de guidage 20. La cabine 1 est reliée au câble 3 par une pince 12.In the figure 4c , the cabin 1 has steel wheels 10 disposed under said cabin 1 and with a horizontal axis of rotation. The rails 20 are arranged vertically and the wheels 10 roll in a conventional manner on the rails 20. The traction is provided by a cable 3 placed between the two wheels 10, said cable is supported by a pulley 30 located below the cabin 1 between the two guide rails 20. The cab 1 is connected to the cable 3 by a clamp 12.

La cabine 1 illustrée à la figure 4d a deux roues 10 disposées sous ladite cabine 1 et avec un axe de rotation vertical. Ces roues 10 coopèrent avec des rails de guidage 20 placés sur les cotés latéraux de la voie de circulation. La traction est assurée par un câble 3 placé sous la cabine 1. La cabine 1 est reliée au câble 3 par une pince 12.Cabin 1 illustrated at figure 4d with two wheels 10 arranged under said cabin 1 and with an axis of rotation vertical. These wheels 10 cooperate with guide rails 20 placed on the lateral sides of the taxiway. The traction is ensured by a cable 3 placed under the cabin 1. The cabin 1 is connected to the cable 3 by a clamp 12.

On peut voir que plusieurs de ces modes de réalisation nécessitent des rails 20 latéraux placés en dehors de la voie de circulation. Ces rails 20 sont fixés sur un muret latéral 21 qui court tout le long de la voie de circulation.It can be seen that many of these embodiments require side rails placed outside the traffic lane. These rails 20 are fixed on a side wall 21 which runs all along the taxiway.

La figure 5 montre une cabine selon l'invention où le rail de guidage 20 est central. Deux roues 10 solidaires de la cabine 1 roulent de chaque coté du rail 20. Un cousin d'air 11 permet le déplacement de la cabine 1. La traction est assurée par un câble 3 sur lequel une pince 12 est accrochée. La pince 12 est solidaire d'un des cotés de la cabine 1. Le câble est maintenu par des poulies 4.
Il est possible d'utiliser des roues avec des pneus ou des roues fer sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.The figure 5 shows a cabin according to the invention where the guide rail 20 is central. Two wheels 10 integral with the cabin 1 roll on each side of the rail 20. An air cousin 11 allows the movement of the cabin 1. The traction is provided by a cable 3 on which a clamp 12 is hung. The clamp 12 is secured to one side of the cabin 1. The cable is held by pulleys 4.
It is possible to use wheels with tires or iron wheels without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent un aiguillage 22' mobile en translation entre une position où le rail 220' est dans le prolongement du rail 200 (figure 6) et une deuxième position où le rail 221' est en continuité avec le rail 201 (figure 7). Selon le cas, on positionne l'aiguillage 22'dans une des 2 positions. Les deux rails 220' et 221' sont reliés entre eux par au moins une traverse 223.The figures 6 and 7 illustrate a switch 22 'movable in translation between a position where the rail 220' is in the extension of the rail 200 ( figure 6 ) and a second position where the rail 221 'is in continuity with the rail 201 ( figure 7 ). Depending on the case, the switch 22 'is positioned in one of the two positions. The two rails 220 'and 221' are interconnected by at least one cross member 223.

L'aiguillage 22 représenté aux figures 8 à 9 est constitué de 2 rails 220 et 221 qui sont articulés à l'entrée d'une station S2 ou S3, respectivement sur le rail 200 ou 201 de la station. La commande est réalisé par exemple électriquement comme illustré figures 8 et 9. La commande de l'aiguillage peut être faite grâce à au moins une traverse 223 sur laquelle sont fixés chacun des rails 220 et 221.The switch 22 shown in Figures 8 to 9 consists of 2 rails 220 and 221 which are articulated at the input of a station S2 or S3, respectively on the rail 200 or 201 of the station. The control is made for example electrically as illustrated Figures 8 and 9 . The order of the switch can be made through at least one cross member 223 on which are fixed each of the rails 220 and 221.

Nous allons décrire le mode de circulation des cabines 1 selon l'invention.We will describe the mode of circulation of the cabins 1 according to the invention.

Les cabines 1 partent d'un des terminus ou d'une station intermédiaire S2 guidées par le rail central 20 et tracté par un câble 3 situé par exemple sur le coté droit de la voie de circulation. A l'approche d'une station S2 ou d'une zone de croisement un aiguillage 22 placé à l'entrée dirige une première cabine 1 du coté où est situé le câble 3, dans l'exemple précédent à droite de la station S2. A la sortie de la station, l'aiguillage 22 placé en sortie qui était en position pour diriger une deuxième cabine 1 circulant en sens inverse de l'autre coté de la station S2, se déplace pour rediriger la cabine 1 vers le rail central 20 après la station S2.
Dans le cas d'une voie de circulation en « long loop », certaines stations S3 servent en plus à transférer la pince de la cabine 1 d'un câble 3 à un câble 3' lors de l'arrêt.The cabins 1 start from one of the terminals or an intermediate station S2 guided by the central rail 20 and towed by a cable 3 located for example on the right side of the taxiway. At the approach of a station S2 or a crossing area a switch 22 placed at the entrance directs a first cabin 1 on the side where the cable 3 is located, in the previous example to the right of the station S2. At the exit of the station, the switch 22 placed at the exit which was in position to direct a second cabin 1 flowing in opposite direction on the other side of the station S2, moves to redirect the cabin 1 towards the central rail 20 after station S2.
In the case of a "long loop" traffic lane, some S3 stations are also used to transfer the clamp of the cabin 1 of a cable 3 to a cable 3 'when stopping.
