ROPE GUIDE SYSTEM FOR AN AERIAL ROPEWAY, PARTICULARLY A CIRCUITAL AERIAL ROPEWAY

摘要

In a double-haulage aerial ropeway the ascending lane 1 and the descending lane 2 are each formed by two haulage ropes 1I, 1II, 2I, 2II guided parallel side by side at the same height in the region of the haulage path F. A single endless haulage rope, crossed once by means of deflector wheels 61, 62 to form an inner rope loop I and an outer rope loop II, forms by its rope loops synchronous regions 1I, 1II and 2I, 2II for the coupled vehicles 3. The driving station T has two laterally offset, driven reversing wheels 41, 42; at the reversing station B at least two traction-driven reversing wheels 5 are arranged to support the two rope loops I, II. The reversing wheels of the one station are mounted in a fixed position, and those of the other station are conjointly stayed. Inner and outer deflector wheels 6, 7 bring the four haulage ropes, which are guided parallel, at both stations to the respective associated reversing wheels 4 and 5 in planes which are set at an angle, with offsetting in height. The two inner deflector wheels 61, 62 at the station associated with the driving wheels 41, 42 are inclined in order to form the rope crossing point X and to change the running grooves in the driving wheels 41, 42. The first of the traction-driven reversing wheels 51 and the two inclined deflector wheels 61, 62 support the inner rope loop I. Two additional reversing wheels 52, 53, laterally offset relative to one another and arranged symmetrically to the first traction-driven reversing wheel 51, together with the two driving wheels 41, 42, preferably support the outer rope loop II. The two driving wheels 41, 42 are driven independently of one another by a master machine 81 and a slave machine 82 and synchronized for exact synchronism of the haulage rope in the two rope loops I, II. - Funitel
