JPH0780454B2 - Cableway device - Google Patents

Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cableway device having a plurality of carriers, for example, a gondola, which are supported on a main rope while being separated from each other.

[Conventional technology]

An electric device such as a speaker, a radio, a wireless telephone, an emergency alarm device, or the like is provided in a carrier of the cableway device, and a battery is mounted on the device as a power source of such electric device.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, since the power source of the electric device of the conventional carrier is an ordinary battery, it requires charging or battery conversion.

In the case of a gondola used for skiing, the temperature may be low and it may not work.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a cableway device having a transporter that can operate an electric device even when the temperature is low, since it is not necessary to charge or replace the battery mounted on the battery.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve this object, the cableway device according to the present invention comprises a solar energy absorption panel mounted on the top surface of a carrier ceiling,
A plurality of photoelectric conversion means for converting sunlight into electricity, a storage battery for storing the electricity obtained by this photoelectric conversion, an electric device that operates by receiving the supply of electricity from the storage battery, and a plurality of which are supported separately from each other on the main rope of the cableway device. The present invention is characterized by comprising individual carriers and a snow removing device which is provided at the lifting station and / or the intermediate support post and which removes snow on the solar energy absorbing panel on the top surface of the ceiling of the carrier.

[Action]

According to the present invention, when the solar energy absorption panel attached to the top surface of the ceiling of the carrier receives sunlight, the photoelectric conversion means converts the sunlight into electricity and stores this electricity in the storage battery. A carrier of the device, for example, a speaker mounted on a gondola, a radio, a wireless telephone, an emergency alarm device, or the like is operated.

〔Example〕

 Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a carrier of the cableway device according to the present invention, for example, a solar energy absorption panel 2 is attached to the top surface 1a of the ceiling of a gondola 1. The gondola 1 clamps a main rope 5 of a cableway device by a gripping jaw 4 provided on a suspension T-bar 3, and suspends and supports the main rope 5 on the main rope 5.
The main rope is wound around driving pulleys respectively arranged on the premises of the elevating station at the summit and at the foot, and guided and supported by guide rollers of support posts arranged at arbitrary intervals in the span between the driving pulleys.

The sunlight received by the solar energy absorption panel 2 is converted into electricity by the photoelectric conversion means 6, as shown in FIG. The electricity obtained by this photoelectric conversion means 6 is stored in the storage battery 7. Various electric devices 8 such as a speaker, a wireless telephone, an emergency alarm device, etc. are connected to the storage battery 7, and wiring is performed so that the storage battery operates as a power source.

In the case of a ski gondola, since snow is accumulated on the ceiling top surface 1a, a device for removing snow accumulated on the solar energy absorbing panel 2 on the ceiling top surface may be provided at the lifting station and / or the intermediate support post. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the snow removing device 9 is provided in the elevating station.

〔The invention's effect〕

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, since the electric power of the electric equipment provided in the carrier of a cableway apparatus can be made into solar energy, the life of a battery can be extended, maintenance becomes easy, and running cost becomes economical. .
