Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collective passenger transport device, of metropolitan type with automatic drive by independent tractor carriages, which in particular adapts perfectly to propulsion by linear electric motor.
  • the invention aims to solve this problem in locomotion in metropolitan transport by using linear motor towing carriages attached in flexible connection to the passenger cabins and guided independently of the latter, so that the inevitable oscillations of the cabins due, for example, the movement of passengers and the track are not transmitted to the towing trucks and therefore do not affect the operation of the linear motor.
  • the subject of the invention is in fact a collective passenger transport device, of the metropolitan type with automatic drive of passenger cabins, the cabins being driven by independent trolleys operating on a track parallel to the cabin track, these carriages being coupled in a relatively loose or flexible connection to the cabins so that their trajectory is not affected by that of the cabins and vice versa, characterized in that the carriages are connected to the cabins each via a retractable connection device, in particular an articulated pantograph, carrying in particular the coupling element between cabins and trolleys.
  • tractor carriages are advantageously arranged under the cabins and guided on an underlying track adjoining the track of the passenger cabins and in the same median longitudinal plane.
  • This solution has the advantage of not increasing the general exterior sizing of the cabins while taking advantage of the general infrastructure from the main track of the passenger cabins.
  • the tractor carriages can also be guided suspended above the cabins on their track.
  • the inductive elements of the motor on the track of the carriages, in the central position of this track, and the armature elements on the carriages, these elements covering the top of the inductive rail.
  • the inducing elements are at regular intervals or not on the track of the carriages as a function of the power to be transmitted, but in any case, it is necessary to have at least one inducing element along the length of the armature of the carriage, or the length of the carriage if the armature extends over the entire length of the carriage.
  • the guiding of the carriages on their track is preferably carried out by wheels or rollers and counter-rollers with pneumatic tires rolling on the smooth, continuous, suitably shaped wall of the track.
  • the guide is, on the one hand, vertical for the vertical lift of the carriage and, on the other hand, transverse to keep the lateral air gap of the linear motor constant.
  • the passenger cabins will advantageously be carried and guided on their way by air cushions arranged regularly under their base and laterally on their lower periphery, the corresponding way, preferably metallic, being provided over its width of two flat parts, of the same width, normally horizontal and spaced from each other by a constant distance for the passage of the connecting elements of the carriage to the cabin, and laterally of two vertical strips or edges of the same height ensuring the transverse guiding of the side cabin air cushions.
  • This design avoids the use of conventional bogies and chassis supporting cabs which are heavy. At the same time, the guidance by vertical and horizontal air cushions makes it possible to distribute the loads and efforts well over the whole cabin and consequently to lighten their structure, and moreover avoids any noise and vibration induced by the classic rolling guidance of the cabs .
  • the air cushion supply compressors on the towing trucks so that the corresponding operating vibrations do not reach the cabins.
  • These vibrations may in particular be collected by the mass of the track of the carriages which will advantageously be made of concrete, shaped with a rectangular tubular profile enclosing the said carriages and comprising on its base and at a median level the inducing elements and at the level of this rail an upper longitudinal opening for the passage of said connecting elements of the carriages to the cabins.
  • This track can be formed from two flat U-shaped portions opposite one another and connected by a central spacer which will serve as a central gauge for making the tracks, the track cage of the carriages serving as a support beam for the track. cabins.
  • This track of the carriages can also serve as a control element for the movement of the cabins as required, the movement control being managed from a recorded call and destination processing unit and from corresponding sensors arranged on this channel.
  • the processing of the transport being done automatically, it will be carried out preferably by small units and in particular by individual cabin, which gives the possibility of switching the cabins at certain points on the different tracks of an urban mesh network.
  • the coupling of the trolleys to the passenger cabins is carried out in a conventional manner by a retractable articulated pantograph carrying a vertical lug for mechanical attachment to the cabin, a vertically nestable sleeve for the supply of compressed air to the cabin air cushions , an auto-connectable power supply plug for the functions to be maintained within the cabin, for example lighting, and finally a plug for telecommunications signals, video surveillance and possible transmissions.
  • the recess formed on the cabin base and receiving the hooking lug will be suitably shaped with sufficient play in width and depth to allow the cabin to move freely without its small vertical and transverse oscillations affect the proper trajectory of the carriage and therefore the air gap of the linear motor.
  • the essentially flat and inert nature of the cabin track revealing only a central longitudinal opening, without possible access to the carriage track, allows evacuation of passengers by this track in the event of a breakdown. It is sufficient to provide emergency doors to the end panels of cabin and protective barriers or guardrails raising the vertical guide strips on the cabin track.
  • the collective passenger transport device consists of the assembly of a passenger cabin 1 and two underlying articulated tractor carriages 3, coupled to this cabin, and corresponding adjacent tracks 5 and 7.
  • the cabin is guided by air cushions on the upper track 5, while the carriages are guided in rotation inside the lower track 7, these tracks being adjacent to one another. other in the same median longitudinal plane.
  • the cabin track is made of metal, consisting of two essentially horizontal flat strips 9 for guiding in lift by air cushions 11 from the cabin, and vertical lateral edges 13 for lateral guidance of the cabin, which is also carried out by cushions. air 15 regularly arranged on the lower lateral periphery of the cabin. It should be noted that lateral guidance by rolling could also be used.
  • defrosting elements 33 are arranged under the horizontal metal strips 9, of same as rainwater drainage elements 35 with slight slope, this in order to make the track indifferent to bad weather.
  • the track of the towing carriages 7 is of tubular shape with rectangular section composed of two U-shaped portions 17 and open on its upper face for the passage of the connecting elements 19 of the carriages to the cabin. It carries a central spacer element 21 which serves as an element for fixing the U-shaped portions and which comprises the inductor elements 23 of the linear motor driving the carriages, the latter each carrying the armature element 25 in their shape of U covering from above said inductor rail.
  • the tracks have been shown in an aerial version carried by posts 27, the lower track serving as a carrying beam for the cabin track.
  • the carriages 3 are guided in rotation in their track by means of vertical wheels and counter-wheels 29 and horizontal wheels 31 applying to the walls of the track. This guidance is very precise and makes it possible to respect the constant air gap necessary between inductor and armature.
  • This independent guidance of the carriages on their track is made possible thanks to the flexible mechanical connection between the carriages and the cabin.
  • This connection is obtained by means of a vertical articulated pantograph 37 by the cooperation of a vertical lug 39 in a corresponding recess 41 in the base of the cabin, the clearance between the lug and the corresponding recess being provided sufficiently large so that cabin oscillations are not transmitted to the carriages.
  • the articulated pantograph 37 mounted on the upper part of each of the carriages is retractable and allows the carriages to be detached from the cabins.
  • This vertical pantograph carries the other connecting elements, which are automatically connected to the cabin when the pantograph is raised, such as a nestable sleeve 43 for supplying compressed air to the cabin provided from the compressors 59 mounted on the carts as well a plug 45 vertically autoconnectable for the electrical supply of the cabin.
  • the track of the carriages carries an electrified line 47 for general supply of the system taken up on each of the carriages by a second horizontal articulated pantograph 49.
  • an accumulator (not shown) capable of ensuring a minimum electrical supply to the cabins in the event of a breakdown and a small auxiliary motor 51 making it possible to restart the carriages in the event of a fault in one of the inductors 23, the latter being located on the central spacer 21 and normally spaced from each other by a distance approximately equivalent to the length of a carriage.
  • the spacing of the inductors is determined according to the power to be transmitted and at the station where the acceleration-deceleration must be significant it is weaker. It will also be noted that this movement control is operated from position sensors arranged on the track of the carriages and making it possible to modulate the movement of the carriages on demand.
  • the track may include removable switching elements.
  • a removable line segment by central pivot 53 allowing the simultaneous rotation of the carriages and the cabin to angularly connect to another part of the line of a network.
  • the pivot can also be moved in translation, for example by jack, to position the cabin and the carriages ( Figure 7) on a parallel track or at the end of the track on a return line.
  • FIG 6 there is shown the case of the translation of the cabin alone, used for example, to put the cabin in the garage position. It suffices to provide for this on a portion of line, a flat slide 55 closing the middle opening of the track of the cabins and thus allowing its rolling by a trolley median rollers 57, and the corresponding drawdown of one of the tracks 61 of the tracks. This translation is made possible thanks to the low weight of the cabins.
  • locomotion is not limited to the linear motor and can use other sources of propulsion.
  • the device is also and very advantageously suitable for underground installation because of the general oval shape of the cabin and lower carriages assembly.
