2 Terms and Symbols
2.1 Terms
2.1.1 Aerial ropeway
It refers to a kind of transport system erecting steel wire rope on supporting structure as rail to transport material or personnel.
2.1.2 Monocable circulating material ropeway
It refers to the ropeway used for material transport only equipped with carrying-hauling rope and with circulating operation of bucket on line.
2.1.3 Bicable circulating material ropeway
It refers to the ropeway used for material transport equipped with carrying rope and hauling rope and with circulating operation of bucket on line.
2.1.4 Monocable circulating passenger ropeway
It refers to the ropeway used for personnel transport only equipped with carrying-hauling rope and with circulating operation of carrier on line. Thereinto, it is divided into monocable circulating detachable grip carriage (basket, glider) passenger ropeway and monocable circulating fixed grip carriage (basket, glider and hauling) passenger ropeway owing to different carrier forms.
In addition, it is also divided into monocable circulating fixed grip carriage passenger ropeway, monocable pulse circulating fixed grip vehicle unit passenger ropeway and monocable intermittent circulating fixed grip vehicle unit passenger ropeway owing to different operating modes.
2.1.5 Bicable reversible aerial ropeway for passenger
It refers to the ropeway used for personnel transport equipped with carrying rope and hauling rope and with reversible operation of carrier on line. Thereinto, it is divided into bicable reversible carriage passenger ropeway and bicable reversible vehicle unit passenger ropeway owing to different carrier grouping.
2.1.6 Bucket
It refers to the delivery vehicle for material transport. It mainly include grip or running trolley, hanger rod or hanger and cargo box.
2.1.7 Carrier
It refers to the delivery vehicle for personnel transport. It mainly include grip or running trolley, hanger rod or hanger, carrier carriage or other riding tools. The carrier may be divided into such different forms as carriage, basket, glider and hauling seat.
2.1.8 Grip, fixed grip, detachable grip
The device connecting with carrying-hauling rope or in carrier or bucket is referred to as grip.
The grip without disconnection and hitching from steel wire rope when entering into station or departing from station is referred to as fixed grip.
The grip with disconnection and hitching from steel wire rope when entering into station or departing from station is referred to as detachable grip.
2.1.9 Line profile
It refers to the longitudinal profile of ropeway line indicating topographic feature, station room and support configuration.
2.1.10 Transport capacity
It refers to the transport volume of single direction in unit time.
2.1.11 Vertical rise, horizontal length, inclined length
The difference of rope bottom elevation between two stations or between two points of line support is referred to as vertical rise.
The horizontal distance between two points is referred to as horizontal length.
The linear distance between two points is referred to as inclined length.
2.1.12 Gauge, span, pitch, interval
The distance between center lines of carrying-hauling ropes or carrying ropes at both sides of support is referred to as gauge. For bicable ropeway adopting double carrying rope, the gauge is the distance between center lines of double carrying ropes at both side of support.
