CZ2012426A3 - Highway lane for electric-powered trains - Google Patents

Abstract

A motorway corridor for electric trains, consisting of a machine manager and a wagon on revolving bogies with electric motors powered from an electrical network and a photovoltaic panel, located above the central highway separation zone, consists of a two-stage gallery consisting of two superimposed lanes (4, 10) provided with a cover (5) with abrasion-resistant, anti-skid and anti-icing properties, of which the lower strip (4) is formed on the base (1) with side barriers (3) for the vehicles on the highway and the upper strip (10) seated on the steel structure assembled from the frame (8), the beam (9) of the cover (5) and the roller train (11) of the wagon train, the frames (8) carrying the brackets (12) of the photovoltaic panels (13) with the sleeves (14) for positioning the panel (13 ).

Description

The invention belongs to the field of technical equipment of roads for public transport and delivery of goods by electric trains.

State of the art

Motorways and expressways are intended for cars and electric vehicles for the transport of people and goods in extra-urban areas between large agglomerations. Passenger and freight trains run on railway tracks. The track on the flyover, located above the dividing strip of the motorway, is also intended for road vehicles with an adjustable chassis (US 6012396). There is also known an electric road train assembled from the leading machine of the vehicles connected to it on rotating wheeled bogies, which is powered from the mains and by photovoltaic panels located along the road via trolleys, and can be equipped with electric batteries and a generator on the leading machine for independent transport (CZ 303687 ).

The essence of the invention

The subject of the invention creates another, separate lane on the motorway formed by a two-storey corridor above the middle dividing strip of the motorway intended exclusively for electric cars.

An advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that the speed of electric mobile trains can be substantially higher than that of vehicles on motorway lanes, since the operation of electric mobile trains, especially unmanned trains, is not limited. Another advantage is that the motorways are built in the most favorable conditions in terms of height and curvature, so the level of adding a corridor for electric cars to the motorway means much lower investment costs compared to construction in open terrain, including the purchase of necessary land. The overall performance of motorways will also increase. Compared to the current truck transport, the transport of perishable foodstuffs, such as fish, vegetables and fruit, in electric delivery trains will also be significantly accelerated. Due to the very low height of the wagons, their automated container loading and unloading can be easily solved. The running speed of electric trains, comparable to the speed of express railway trains, is facilitated by the use of bogies with electric motors in the wheels.

Overview of figures in the drawings

Giant. 1 shows a partial cross-section of a motorway with vehicles, where a corridor for electric cars above the middle dividing strip is formed by a two-storey gallery on a prefabricated base.

Giant. 2 shows a longitudinal section of a two-story gallery on a prefabricated base with a series of photovoltaic panels and two electric vehicles under a motorway bridge.

Examples of embodiments of the invention

An exemplary application of the invention is intended for existing and newly built motorways, or for expressways. The central dividing strip of motorways is usually wide enough to accommodate a motorway corridor for electric vehicles.

An example of a motorway corridor is the construction of a two-storey gallery (Fig. 1,2) created by base 1, usable as collectors 2 for electric cables and power and water management networks. At the same time, the base f, together with the built-in barriers 3, forms a durable barrier for emergency deviations of vehicles traveling on the motorway. The upper surface of the base 1 serves as a lower lane 4 provided with a cover 5 with abrasion-resistant, anti-slip and anti-icing properties. A steel structure is mounted on the base 1 by means of a plate 6 and fixing screws 7, composed of frames 8 forming a support for the beams 9, on which the cover 5 of the upper lane 10 and the pulley guide H of the electric car trains are also mounted. A holder 12 of the photovoltaic panels 13 with sleeves 14 for adjusting the panels 13 to the optimal position relative to the sun is located at the top of the frames 8.
