EN 1907:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document defines general terms used in the safety requirements for cableway installations designed to carry persons.
26、The document concerns terms used in the design, manufacture, erection, maintenance and operation of the installations and is restricted to: those terms which form part of the vocabulary specific to these installations; those terms, whether scientific, technical or in every day use, which have a part
27、icular meaning in this field or which it appears necessary to define in greater detail. The terms apply both to a particular installation and to their components. Terms which are specific to standards which are listed in the foreword are defined in each of these standards. This document does not app
28、ly to installations for the transportation of goods, nor to inclined lifts. In the application of this document, the following definitions are applicable and have been given the reference numbers below. 2 General terms Terms printed in bold type in the definitions are themselves defined in the text.
29、 2.1 cableway installation designed to carry persons installations made up of several components, designed, manufactured, assembled and put into service with the object of carrying persons. These on-site installations are used for the carriage of persons in vehicles or by towing devices, whereby the
30、 suspension and/or traction is provided by ropes positioned along the line of travel. 2.1.1 component elementary part, group of parts, subassembly or complete unit incorporated in a cableway installation NOTE Components may be mechanical in nature, or they may equally belong to the fields of civil e
31、ngineering, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic equipment, or automation and control. 2.1.1.1 safety component any basic component, set of components, subassembly or complete assembly of equipment and any device incorporated in the installation for the purpose of ensuring a safety function and identi
32、fied by the safety analysis, the failure of which endangers the safety or health of persons, be they users, operating personnel or third parties EN 1907:2005 (E) 6 3 Types of installations 3.1 aerial ropeway cableway in which the carriers are suspended from one or several ropes NOTE The term aerial
33、ropeway, without further qualification, is generally applicable no matter how the ropes move or what functions they perform, how they are connected to the carriers and what type the carriers are. 3.1.1 reversible aerial ropeway; jigback aerial ropeway whose carriers move backwards and forwards betwe
34、en the ropeway stations NOTE These aerial ropeways are usually equipped with two closed carriers or groups of carriers with fixed grips. 3.1.2 uni-directional aerial ropeway aerial ropeway whose carriers always travel in the same direction along their path NOTE The carriers may be connected to the r
35、ope by fixed or detachable grips. 3.1.2.1 continuous movement aerial ropeway uni-directional aerial ropeway whose haulage rope(s) or carrying-hauling rope(s) move(s) at constant speed 3.1.2.2 pulsed movement aerial ropeway uni-directional aerial ropeway whose haulage rope(s) or carrying-hauling rope
36、(s) move(s) either intermittently or at a speed which varies periodically as a function of the position of the carriers NOTE The carriers or groups of carriers are usually connected to the rope by fixed grips. 3.1.3 monocable aerial ropeway aerial ropeway in which the carriers are suspended from and
37、 hauled by a single rope 3.1.4 double-monocable aerial ropeway term in current use for a aerial ropeway in which the carriers are both suspended from and hauled by two rope loops or a single rope arranged in a double loop 3.1.5 bicable aerial ropeway aerial ropeway in which the carriers are suspende
38、d from and hauled by separate ropes or groups of ropes 3.1.6 gondola lift term in current use for a uni-directional aerial ropeway with several small closed carriers 3.1.7 bucket lift uni-directional aerial ropeway in which the carriers are buckets 3.1.8 chairlift uni-directional aerial ropeway in w
39、hich the carriers are chairs EN 1907:2005 (E) 7 3.2 funicular railway cableway in which the carriers are hauled by one or several ropes along a track which may lie on the ground or be supported by fixed structures NOTE The carriers are generally supported on wheels which may be of different types, w
40、ith the track designed accordingly. 3.3 ski-tow; draglift cableway in which the passengers, either wearing skis or equipped with suitable special appliances, are towed along a prepared track by means of tow-hangers hauled by a rope 3.3.1 low level ski-tow type of ski-tow in which the rope runs at su
41、ch a height that the users can grip it directly or by means of short tow-hangers NOTE A fibre rope may be used. The tow-hangers are usually handled with fixed or detachable grips. These ski-tows may be portable. 4 Ropes and end fixings 4.1 static rope; fixed rope rope anchored at least at one of its
42、 ends and possibly resting on one or more intermediate supports 4.1.1 carrying rope; track rope static rope arranged to support carriers by means of carrier trucks which move along the rope 4.1.2 tension rope rope used for connecting the free end of a static rope or the end sheave of a rope loop to
43、the counterweight or tensioning device 4.1.3 brake rope static rope on which the onboard brake acts and which has no other function 4.1.4 signal cable static cable used for the transmission of signals, such as control or video signals, or telephone communication 4.2 moving rope rope arranged in such
44、 a way as to allow large longitudinal movements NOTE Moving ropes are usually connected to one or more carriers, or are capable of being so connected. 4.2.1 carrying-hauling rope moving rope arranged to transmit its motion to carriers attached to and at the same time supported by it 4.2.2 haulage ro
45、pe; haul rope moving rope arranged to transmit its motion to carriers attached to but not supported by it EN 1907:2005 (E) 8 4.2.2.1 counter rope in a funicular railway, or a bicable reversible aerial ropeway, moving rope attached to the carriers by end fixings, without going through the driving she
46、ave NOTE “Cble-lest“ may also be used in instead of “contre-cble“ in French, or “ballast rope“ instead of “counter rope“ in English, when the drive station is at the upper end. 4.2.3 towing rope (for ski-tow); haul rope (for ski-tow) moving rope arranged to transmit its motion to tow-hangers attache
47、d to it 4.2.4 rope loop rope closed into a loop by a splice 4.2.5 recovery rope moving rope whose sole function is to replace the installation haul ropes in the event of failure of the latter in order to ensure the return of the carriers to the station 4.2.6 evacuation rope moving rope used only for
48、 moving evacuation carriers 4.3 end fixing; termination component connecting one of the ends of a rope to the component on which the rope pulls NOTE The end fixing may, for example, be the connection between a static rope and either an anchorage, a counterweight or a tensioning device, or it may be
49、the connection between an interrupted moving rope and a carrier. 4.3.1 socket end fixing end fixing formed by a socket within which the end part of the rope is immobilized under the applied tensile load 4.3.2 (haulage rope) fixing drum end fixing consisting of a drum, around which a haulage rope is wrapped to form dead turns 4.3.3 anchor drum end fixing consisting of a drum attached to an anchorage, around which a static rope is wrapped to form dead turns 4.3.4 ben
