EA033441B1 - Transportation system roadway current collector - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of electric engineering, specifically to power supplying devices for transportation means, in particular to current collecting devices to provide power transfer from a static conduit to the moving consumer, and can be used in monorail and multi-rail transportation systems featuring a string-type roadway system to arrange current-conducting and current-collecting elements for skyway roads of city, inter-city and industrial electric transport. A transportation system roadway current collector contains at least one stretched static conduit (1) and at least two enclosing moving current collecting electrodes (2) elastically pressed against each other and contacting with an adjacent surface A, placed so as to allow them to rotate around a current-conducting axis (3), shaped as elastic discs (4) with conductor rims (5). The profile of the adjacent surface A of the stretched conduit (1) and its reciprocal part at the conductor rims (5) form an angle γ (°), whereas tape (1.1) is fixed inside a dielectric casing (6) using a hardening material (7) consisting of polymer binding agents, composite materials, glue and/or cement mixtures. As a result, the current collecting device for roadway structure of transportation system allows to achieve the following tasks: improve the operational qualities of contacting pairs and reduce their surface skidding during high speed interaction between the current-conducting and current-collecting device elements; ensure the collection and transfer of higher current load; increase effectiveness, reliability and durability of the current collecting device.
