Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport system by passive vehicles, driven at variable speed by orientable rollers and rotating tubes.
  • semi-continuous transport systems do not have favorable capacity characteristics at short distance, but have the advantage over discontinuous shuttle-type systems of maintaining them independently of the distance traveled.
  • Cable systems whose vehicle speed is limited to 10 m / s, are therefore slower than active systems.
  • cable systems if they have certain advantages (simplified collision avoidance, simple kinematic chain, etc.) have the disadvantage, in addition to their low speed of movement, of requiring the use of several strands and disengageable pliers, when the route includes non-equidistant intermediate stations, and to resort, in certain cases, to a complementary variable speed drive means, to obtain a progressive and sufficient speed reduction when passing through the stations.
  • a transport system is already known for passive vehicles driven by rotating tubes and orientable rollers (French patent FR-A-2,036,543).
  • the vehicles suspended from a monorail are towed by cable between the stations at a speed of approximately 7 m / s, and driven at variable speed, in the stations, by means of a rotating cylinder device, with an adjustable roller. , which then replaces cable drive, in order to gradually reduce the speed of vehicles from 7 m / s to 0.20 m / s.
  • the vehicles are connected to the cable by a disengageable clamp, the opening of which is controlled by a roller mounted on the vehicle, and by a ramp located at the edge of the rail at the station.
  • the opening of the clamp causes the rotation of the drive roller of the speed variation device, in order to ensure that the drive of the vehicle is taken into account.
  • the closure of the pliers, at the station exit brings the drive roller back into line.
  • Passive vehicle transport systems are also known, corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 (English patent 2,067,488 and 2,067,489).
  • This transport system is intended for the automatic handling of parts within the confines of a company and, consequently, does not include a device making it possible to avoid collisions between overtaking and overtaken vehicles, anti-overturning and braking means. emergency, as well as to obtain the masking of the space left between the vehicles of the same train, when the latter is stopped along a station platform, of a device to protect the rotating tubes from level crossings, of a device for braking, immobilizing and starting a vehicle in the opposite direction, when it has reached the end of the line, autonomy in electrical energy to supply the on-board circuits.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the invention as it is characterized solves the problem of creating a transport system by passive vehicles, at variable speed, on its own site or not, suitable for the creation of mesh networks with winding paths, with the possibility of intersection. , or even integration other means of transport, with no constraint on the accumulation or spacing of vehicles, deceleration, stop and acceleration in a fully mechanical station, opening of automatic doors, safety system acting on braking, emergency stop and possibility of adapting to variations in passenger flow.
  • the system according to the invention is mainly characterized in that the chassis of the vehicles comprises, on the rear, an accumulation device making it possible to progressively reduce the speed of a overtaking vehicle up to a speed at most equal to that of the overtaken vehicle, in that each vehicle is equipped with an anti-overturning device and an emergency braking device, consisting of a jaw intended to grip one of the running rails, in that the access doors , controlled from the platform by cams, come, in the open position, to hide the space left between two vehicles, in that the drive motors of the rotating tubes, located at the intersections of intersection with another traffic, are controlled by the low beams, in that the pivoting drive rollers are coated, at their periphery, with a bandage of material promoting their adhesion to the rotating tubes and reducing noise, in that the revolving tubes are protected by a comb at level crossings, in that the maneuvering roller of the articulated parallelogram protrudes, on the front of the chassis, by a sufficient distance to obtain the stop of vehicle drive and
  • the anti-overturning device consists of two rollers located on either side of the core of one of the rails and ensuring lateral guidance and two brackets and located on either side of the core of the '' another rail and fitting under the running sole of the rail.
  • the material constituting the bandage of the rollers is polyurethane.
  • the accumulation device making it possible to reduce the speed of a overtaking vehicle, consists of a tail comprising a ramp with progressive slope on which comes to rest the maneuvering roller of the articulated parallelogram for orienting the pivoting drive rollers of the overtaking vehicle.
  • the jaw intended to enclose, in an emergency, one of the running rails is actuated by springs, the release of which is controlled by a pressurized gas actuator which can be actuated manually or automatically by the front shield.
  • the advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in this, that the driving energy is distributed throughout the journey in the form of rotating tubes at ground level, that individual safety stops of the vehicles are possible, that the passage to level of other routes and other means of transport is possible, that each vehicle is autonomous while being subject to compulsory constraints, that no energy is loaded, that vehicles cannot capsize and that their accumulation and reversal of direction movement is smooth, that the speed and the power transmitted to the tube sections is modulated according to the course, that the noise level in operation is very low, that the grip of the lane is minimum, that slopes of 15% can be crossed, that the radius of the curves of the lane can be reduced to 10 meters, that a mesh structure is possible, that the vehicles accumulate safely and without clash, giving the impression of a very long train at peak times, that the operation can be adapted to off-peak hours, with systematic stopping of vehicles in the station, that the location of stations can be arbitrary, that the flow timetable is around 4500 passengers per direction of travel, the speed can reach 10 m / s and the embarkation
  • the figures represent a transport system by passive vehicles, driven at variable speed by rotating tubes and orientable rollers, essentially comprising a vehicle 1 , driven on rails 2 and 3 by means of tubes 4 rotating in bearings 13 and rollers 5 and 6 orientable by an articulated parallelogram 7 , under the action of a lever 8 provided at its free end with an operating roller 9 , controlled by cams located at the edge of the track or by the tail with ramp 18 arranged at the rear of the previous vehicle.
  • the vehicles 1 are guided laterally by rollers 11 and 12 located on either side of the core of one of the rails 3 , fixed on the crosspieces 14 and held firmly plumb relative to the rails 2 and 3 by through the rollers 11 and 12 and brackets 15 and 16 located on either side of the core of the other rail 2 .
  • the vehicles 1 rest on the track consisting of the rails 2 and 3 , relative to one of which they are guided by the rollers 11 and 12 arranged on either side of the core of the one of the rails 3 , and on which they are kept plumb by means of the rollers 11 and 12 and the brackets 15 and 16 fitting under the running sole of the rails 2 and 3 ; which eliminates all possibilities of overturning vehicles under any action whatsoever.
  • the vehicles are driven by means of the tubes 4 , rotating in bearings 13 fixed on the crosspieces 14 , and of rollers 5 and 6 , integral in rotation, the inclination with respect to the rotating tubes 4 is determined as a function of the speed of movement to be obtained.
  • the articulated parallelogram 7 ensuring the pivoting of the drive rollers, makes it possible to obtain, by means of the lever 8 and the drive roller 9 , different positions of the drive rollers corresponding, for example, to the disengagement of the training; the rollers 5 and 6 then being oriented across the tubes 4 . Different drive speeds can be obtained by this means, as well as immobilization on the track, the rollers 5 and 6 then being, in the latter case, arranged perpendicular to the tube 4 , or the reversal of the direction of movement of the vehicle. , when the latter position is crossed and the rollers 5 and 6 are oriented symmetrically with respect to their initial position.
  • the operating roller 9 of the lever 8 for controlling the articulated parallelogram 7 , is stressed; when the vehicle catches up with another, because the ramp tail 10 of the latter penetrates under the chassis and gradually inclines the lever 8 until the speeds of the two vehicles are synchronized.
  • the operating roller 9 which protrudes at the front of the shield 1 a of the vehicle, pivots the lever 8 rearward chassis; which has the effect of orienting the drive rollers 5 and 6 across the tube and thus cancel any training.
  • the doors When the speed is low enough, the doors are opened by means of a cam located along the platform. Vehicles parade at slow speed in the station, which is large enough to hold three or four vehicles simultaneously. At the end of the platform, the doors are closed by means of another cam. The closing is controlled by means of a limit switch. The vehicle can then resume speed which is a function of the profile of the cam located at the exit of the station.
  • Each station is equipped with a remote surveillance installation which allows remote reset of the door open safety and the complete stopping of a cabin to facilitate boarding.
  • the track is streamlined by means of a deck, so as to leave only the top of the track visible.
  • the vehicle is guided on its track under the deck.
  • the rotating tubes 4 are slightly visible, so as to guarantee sufficient contact with the drive rollers. This is achieved by arranging the lips on either side of the tube, or by machining, in the latter, a series of notches, in which the teeth of a comb engage, so as to obtain a level of security equivalent to that existing on escalators.
  • the rotating tube is reinforced in this part to allow the passage of motor vehicles, without fear of deterioration.
  • One of the pivoting drive rollers 5 or 6 of each vehicle drives a dynamo ensuring the charging of an on-board storage battery, supplying energy to the on-board electrical circuit; which allows, for example, to provide autonomous signaling and sound.
  • the track can be laid on an overhead frame, to ensure the crossing of structures or to free up the occupied surface on the ground.
  • the vehicle can also be suspended for the same purpose.
  • the track may have radii of curvature reduced to 10 meters.
  • the flow of vehicles can be intermittent, constant or flexible, depending on the number of users. This flow is managed by taking into account the number of passengers on board, when validating access tickets or checking magnetic transport cards.
  • the remote control, the remote control and the transmissions are ensured in connection by optical fibers and self-controlled processors.
  • the system according to the invention is intended mainly for the transport of people, on their own site or not, for junctions of the periphery / city center and periphery / periphery type, the mesh of central spaces and activity centers in cities, the extension of urban lines, when it can take the form of a bipolar junction between a station of a regional express network and a pole of concentrated activity, notably in new urbanization; drawdowns of residential areas towards public transport terminals; internal connections to exhibition centers, industrial sites, large shopping complexes and the transport of equipment and products.
