DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a combined use of a rope and a rail for traveling by transporting a transporter by operating a carriage on an operating line comprising a section of a rope suspended on an elevated road and a section of a rail suspended on an elevated road. The present invention relates to a suspended transport facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Suspended-type monorail systems, cableway-type facilities, and the like are known as facilities for operating and transporting suspended vehicles along guideways or operation lines installed at elevated positions. Has characteristics.

[0003] Among them, the suspension type monorail type transportation means transports a traveling machine having a passenger car suspended by self-propelled rolling along a rigid traveling rail as is well known. The operating track can be freely set by combining curved or straight sections arbitrarily, and it is also possible to set slope sections within the range where travel is possible due to adhesion between the rolling surface and running wheels. Is done. In addition, a support rail can be installed intermittently and a traveling rail can be erected slightly higher than the ground, and equipment can be installed using the sky above existing roads. It can be constructed more economically than a general railway system
These days, they are often planned and built as medium-duty transportation for urban or regional transportation.

[0004] However, in the suspension type monorail system, since a traveling track of a rigid beam is used, it is difficult to bridge a longer diameter than a certain limit due to the limitation of the strength of the rigid beam. The number of construction units increased, and even though the cost was lower than that of a general railway system, the economy remained unsatisfactory. In addition, since the transporter has its own power equipment and travels on its own, the equipment of the transporter is complicated, which requires a large facility, and furthermore, the friction or adhesion between the wheels and the rails. However, there is a drawback that a steep gradient exceeding a certain level cannot be provided.

On the other hand, in the case of a cableway system using a rope and a tow rope, a rope as a stationary rope stretched at an elevated position and a tow cable circulating along the rope are described. Using and, to guide the carriage by a cable,
The towing line is made to bite the towing machine, and the towing device is transported together with the movement of the towing line. In addition, the ropes such as ropes, towing lines, etc. used for this are supported and guided on pillars erected on the ground via rope saddles or pressure receiving rope devices to form operation lines, and the links between the pillars and the pillars are formed. The spacing can also be determined between significant major diameters. Therefore, there is a great feature that the road surface does not require continuous roadbed construction, and the operation line can be determined very economically without being influenced by the uneven shape of the terrain and obstacles. Since the carriage is propelled by pulling the towing line and has no power for self-propelling, the equipment of the carriage is simplified, which is also economically advantageous. Furthermore, since the vehicle is not driven by sticking, it has a feature that it can be operated on a steep section. Taking advantage of such characteristics, the cableway method is frequently used as a transport system at ski slopes and sightseeing spots on mountain slopes.
However, the cableway method has a drawback that a complicated bending facility is required when it is desired to provide a curve in the middle of the operation line.

[0006]

On the other hand, recently, there has been an increasing tendency to seek a low-cost and highly reliable transport system for city or regional transportation utilizing the sky above a road. In response to such demands, suspension type monorail type facilities are often considered. However, as described above, this facility cannot be constructed sufficiently economically, and the plan must be abandoned. In some cases it was not.

[0007] On the other hand, the cableway type transport equipment is required to meet such transport demands because the transport volume increases, reliability is improved, and the equipment can be installed economically due to the accumulation of past construction results and technologies. In response, plans are often being considered. However, when using the cableway method for urban or regional traffic, not only transportation between both end stops consisting of only straight sections, but also some In many cases, an operation line including a curved section is required, and in such a case, it has been difficult to cope with such a conventional cableway type facility.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention uses both of the above-mentioned characteristics in combination to select one of a support section and a track section on an operation line according to necessary conditions. The equipment can be installed economically by using the towed ropes to pull the tow, and satisfy the required functions.Furthermore, the same equipment can be used to connect or direct without the need to change passengers. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a suspended transport facility as described above.

[0009]

According to the present invention, a suspended transport system is installed above a road or the like, and is relatively inexpensive without being affected by the presence or absence of obstacles on the ground surface and without requiring continuous roadbed leveling work. It can be constructed at low cost and is often considered for planning and study as a means of transportation for urban or regional transportation. Among them, the suspended monorail type has an advantage that it can be suitably used for both curved and straight sections, and has an advantage that the operation control of an individual carrier can be easily performed. There is a drawback that the construction cost is not sufficiently low because it has to be supported by a large number of support structures at every interval. In addition, the transporter has a self-propelled operation facility, so that the configuration is complicated, and there is also a problem that it cannot travel on a steep section.

On the other hand, the cableway method has an advantage that the construction cost is low, but has a drawback that it is difficult to set a curved section.

The device of the present invention is intended to provide a suspended transportation which enjoys the advantages of both of these types, and sets up an operation line combining a section using a rigid rail and a section using a cableway method. In both of these types of sections, a carrier that can be directly or communicated is operated in one of the support section operation mode and the rail section operation mode.

As a result, it is possible to enjoy the merit of reducing the construction cost by using the support section in the straight section which usually occupies a large part of the operation line, and in particular, a part of the section which requires a curve. By using a rail section only at a location or the like, it is possible to obtain a suspended transportation system which satisfies required functions and has a low construction cost as a whole.
