What's going on
On 5 february 2025, there was a storm on yunnan's mountain of snow, and the cable cars on it were swaying with the wind, and the area stopped as soon as possible. Unfortunately, many tourists were trapped on the top of the mountain for hours, because they had no one to sit on, otherwise they had to be dumped。
Speaking of which, i'm curious about how the cable car works. Do you think the cable car slipped along the cable, but the cable car was just holding on to the cable with "hands" and the cable was still moving? It is true, however, that the cable vehicle is driven by a steel wire tow along an orbit laid on the surface with a certain slope。
Cables were first used in coal mining, until late in the nineteenth century, when british talent began to use the cable to pick up passengers. Our cable car was first in hong kong, initially driven by the steam of wooden cars, and is now driven by aluminium and computer control。
It is also mentioned in its doctrine that the car was led by a cable, which was connected by a device called a lock-and-locker that was attached to the arm position above the car. By holding the locks tightly on the cable, the car can move against the cable and operate automatically。
The value of this locker is not only connected to the cable car, but, above all, it also controls the speed with which it operates. All those who have travelled by cable are aware that the cable will slow down when they arrive at the station to get off, and that when they are officially operational, the cable will pick up the speed, which is controlled by this lock。
There is a strong spring to control speed on this lock, and when the car enters the station, the strong spring will be fitted with this small wheel and orbit inside the station to assist in the change of cable speed。
Let's just put it this way, the cable's principle is that the cable is still moving. Can you afford the weight of cables and passengers? In fact, there is pressure on the cable above for a considerable weight and relative distance, but when you travel in a cable car, you find that there is a tower at every distance, which is actually a support for the cable car。
These towers are also an important facility to support the proper operation of the cable car, and you should have a general idea of how it works. The cable cars are not just the ones we ride in the viewing area, but they are divided into several major categories。
• the first is our usual tour area cable, which is used mainly for tourist and tourist transport。
• the second category is the mountain forest cable, which is used mainly for mountain transport and emergency relief, such as the high-speed cable vehicle used on the sichuan peaks。
The third category is the urban air bus, which is used mainly for public transport within the city, such as the hong kong angle 360 and the tourist elevator of the statue of liberty of new york。
:: the fourth category is the trans-river cable car, which is used mainly for transport across rivers, lakes and straits, such as our chongqing yangtze road。
The last category is special-purpose cables, such as mine cables, oil rig cables, etc。
