Definitions

  • This invention relates to swop-body transportation with particular relevance to railway shuttle type operations in which a series of bodies - coaches, tank bodies, semi-trailers, or the like - are carried on rail wagons.
  • Swop-body is in use in transport systems around the World especially in r ⁇ ad-to-rail, and vice-versa, interfaces.
  • the system is known as 'Piggyback', and some other countries it is called 'Kangaroo'.
  • Swop-body has application where the expense of long-haul on road transportation of driver/tractor/trailer can be defrayed by placing the road trailer on low-slung rail wagon and moving it as part of a trainload on a trunk haul.
  • Swop-body systems are not normally integral with shuttle systems, and the pace of turnround of .__wop-body trainloads is not critical.
  • Swopping cf bodies is normally a one-wagon-at-a-time, lift off/lift on operation performed by a terminal crane; a straddle carrier; or by a lift truck.
  • Road semi-trailer loading may be accomplished by driving along the length of a train of low-slung wagons having bridging plates over the wagon couplings and buffers.
  • a more recent variation is the provision of rail wellwagons in which the well may be turned out to one side of the track to permit a road semi-trailer to enter/exit diagonally to the lins of the rail track.
  • This system suffers from the disadvantages of expensive well turnout mechanisms on each wagon; trailer discharge must be completed before trailer loading commences, - and discharged and loading trailers require to operate from one side of the trackway causing congestion, especially for customs at frontier terminals.
  • the present invention seeks to integrate swop-body and shuttle systems in a manner which maintains flexibility whilst reducing turnround times, with attendant economies of both speeded-up service and higher utilisation rates of expensive capital equipment.
  • the invention provides a system comprising shuttle trains with wagons having special features for discharg ⁇ ing and loading swop-bodies at specially equipped terminal platforms in which discharge and load turnround times for entire trainloads can be measured in seconds rather than minutes or hours.
  • a system of the invention is comprised of swop-bodies; single railway track terminal platforms with angularly displaced bays on both sides of the rail track; and turntable means to rotate and align the arriving bodies with the angularly displaced bays of the terminal platform prior to swopping of the arriving bodies from the rail wagons onto the empty arrival bays on one side of the platform simultaneously with departing bodies moving from departure bays on the opposite side of the rail track onto the rail wagons.
  • the terminal is divided by a single rail track into arrival and departure platforms on opposing sides of the rail trackway. This feature is of considerable benefit in simplifying traffic flows and, in frontier locations, easing customs seperation of imports and/or immigrants from exports and/or emigrants.
  • each rotation mechanism has a substantial piston which rises to engage with an inverted bellmouth entry guide on the underside of a -feurntable frame on a wagon.
  • Final raising of the piston within the bellmouth guide centres the wagon to ensure exact alignment of the turntable frame on the wagon with fixed transfer tracks on opposing sides of the rail track and positioned on the tops of the platforms.
  • the top of the piston as it approaches the fully raised position activates linkages to disengage latches and unlock the turntable and at the same time to plug-in electrical contacts on the top of the piston into contacts in the bellmouth guide for limit switch circuits, or the like.
  • small power operated jacks secured vertically to the platform edges extend upwards to engage with the undersides of jack-up points on the wagon underframe, and continue to raise the wagon with body super- -imposed until the upper surfaces of the jack-up points are arrested by abbutments on the platform edges co-axial with the jacks.
  • the wagons are now held on relaxed wagon wheel suspen ⁇ sions level with the platform surfaces and swop-body transfer tracks thereon.
  • Rotation of the turntable frames on the wagon underfra es in an anti-clockwise direction when viewed from above through an angle of very approximately fifteen degrees brings the turn ⁇ table frames with bodies atop into alignment with the angularly displaced bays on opposing sides of the rail track.
  • the rotation mechanisms can be conveniently integral with the centring piston mechanisms, or may be power operated cylinders secured to the platform top surfaces and thrusting against the turntable frames. Once aligned, bodies pre-positioned in the platform departure bays on one side of the platform are moved from these bays onto the wagon turntable frames simultaneously moving the bodies from the turntable frames, from which they have been unlocked prior to transfer, onto the platform arrival bays. Movements may be effected by linear electric motors, by powered endless chain loops, push/pull roadwheel tractors, or the like.
  • the swop-bodies are fitted with twin-wheel units at each lower corner, or by a series of twin-wheel units at intervals along the length of the body.
  • twin-wheel units necessary for swop movements may either be added to the container affixed to the bottom corner castings, or fitted to simple wheeled cradles on which the containers would roll.
  • Semi-trailers already have roadwheels and 'jockey' wheels - suitable for straight line movements.
  • a road-to-rail shuttle system of the invention as may be used for transport of all manner of road traffic through or under a natural obstacle - mountain range, sea channel, or the like - the bodies would be similar to rail coach bodies and fitted at both ends with doors to permit road vehicles to drive to/from positions on one or more levels therein.
  • all of the arrival swop-body coaches rotate on the rail wagons from alignment with the railway track to align with the pre-loaded departure coaches which move from the departure bays onto the wagon turntable frames simultaneously moving off the arrival coaches onto the platform arrival bays. " Departure coaches then turn to align with the railway track .and the shuttle train departs to destination.
  • coach end doors open to allow the vehicles exit to one or more levels in the terminal.
  • the coach bodies transfer to the departure bays by rolling level in straight lines diagonally accross the platform gap of the empty railway track to positions on the departure bays.
  • the twin-wheel units at intervals along the lengths of the coaches in combination with the fixed angularly displaced platform tracks ensure the coach bodies effectively 'jump' the railway track gap.
  • the departure end doors open and the coaches loaded with traffic to await the arrival of the next shuttle train.
  • trainsets with swop bodies can be added to or deducted from the shuttle service.
  • the - addition of a trainset would involve delivery of empty swop coach bodies to arrival bays simultaneously with collection of loaded coach bodies from the departure bays of a terminal.
  • Deduction of a trainset would follow delivery of loaded coach bodies to the arrival bays of a terminal with simultaneous collection of empty coach bodies from the departure bays.
  • all of the swop-body coaches could be made interchangeable by the inclusion of vertically moveable car platfroms within each coach.
  • the platfroms would be positioned at mid-height; for small vans and sportscars and/or motorcycles the platform would be moved slightly above mid-height, and for high commercial vehicles and buses the platforms would be fully lowered to rest on the coach floor to allow single level loading.
  • the ability to mix commercial and non-commercial road vehicles in one trainset should give operational economies for the operators of the system.
  • a shuttle system primarily, but not exclusively, for the transport of road semi-trailers and/or other high unaccompanied commercial vehicles is equipped with railway bogie wellwagons in which the turntable frames form the floors of the wells.
  • each well floor frame Suitabl stiffened by side girders, each well floor frame is pushed up with swop-body superimposed by enlarged centring/rotating piston mechanisms located below and rising from the centre of the rail trackway at the midlength of the wagon. Fully raised and prior to rotation the lower edges of the well floor frame would be a small distance above the top surface of the well wagon framework.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a shuttle train having arrived in - a terminal platform from a remote destination.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of a shuttle train in which the turn ⁇ table frames with bodies atop have been rotated anti-clockwise to alignment with the platform arrival and departure bays.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of a shuttle train in which the pre ⁇ loaded departure bodies are transferring onto the wagon turn ⁇ table frames from the departure bays simultaneously moving the arrival bodies clear of the turntable frames onto the arrival bays on the platform.

  • pistons 12 are rotated clockwise to return the turntable frames 3 with departure coach bodies 10 atop to alignment with the railway track 4.
  • Jacking rams 17 are lowered allowing wagon bogie suspensions to take the weights, and rotation pistons 12 retract below the level of wagon wheel axles leaving the shuttle trainset free to depart.
  • Passenger cars and small vans 22 are carried on two levels within coach body 8, and enter and exit through doors (not shown) in the opposing ends of the coach body. Access to the upper level within the coach by hinged terminal ramp23 arranged hoistable to permit full height vehicles to be loaded in single level coach bodies.
  • Coach bodies 8 for two-level loading may be made interchange ⁇ able with single level loading swop-bodies by making the half height car platform 24 vertically moveable, either slightly upwards as shown in Figs. 14 and 15 or fully lowered to rest on the coach floor as shown in Figs. 15 and 17.
  • Simplified wagons for the transport of unaccompanied road semi-trailers 25, or the like may be incorporated in a trainset where rail loading guage height restrictions permit. Such wagons would have shorter underframes 26 surmounted by turntable frames 27. Jack-up and rotation motions would be as described heretofore, with rotational mechanisms 12 centred to suit the shorter wagons.

Abstract

Un système de navette comprend des caisses échangeables ayant des roues porteuses de charge solidaires ou "ajoutées"; des plates-formes terminales avec des quais en cul-de-sac déplacables angulairement pour les caisses échangeables sur les côtés opposés d'une seule voie de chemin de fer; et des wagons de chemin de fer ayant des sous-châssis surmontés par des châssis porteurs à tablier tournant peu profond et rotatifs pour s'aligner avec les quais à déplacement angulaire de la plate-forme terminale pendant le déchargement et le chargement simultané de caisses qui arrivent et de caisses qui partent, respectivement. Les caisses échangeuses peuvent être des semi-remorques pouvant être simultanément chargés en étant inversés/déchargés en étant poussés des wagons de chemin de fer par des tracteurs se trouvant dans les terminaux, et elles peuvent être abaissées dans des puits à l'intérieur des wagons pour être conformes aux normes de hauteur de chargement ferroviaire. Les châssis à tablier tournant sur les wagons peuvent être enlevés et des wagons complets avec des caisses superposées individuellement tournées à l'aide des tabliers tournants et s'alignant avec les quais à déplacement angulaire. Les couplages des wagons se détachent et se rattachent automatiquement pendant les mouvements des plateaux tournants respectivement dans le sens contraire aux aiguilles d'une montre et dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre.
