Definitions

  • the invention relates to a track for by means of switches branched rail tracks according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • a web is known from US 4,132,175.
  • Rail vehicles of all kinds for example passenger trains, Freight trains, electric trains for transportation within closed rooms such as assembly halls, sorting stations or High-bay storage, hanging or on the floor, must be on Branches of the rail tracks by means of switches in the desired direction of travel.
  • Turnouts which have movable rail parts are equipped, which can be swiveled or slid into one Gap of one or the other rail direction can be used are.
  • the one required for the movement of the rail parts Energy expenditure is considerable.
  • Another disadvantage is the susceptibility to wear in connection with Weather influences and pollution.
  • Such mechanical, i.e. active turnouts are extremely maintenance-intensive. you Use in explosion protection and wet rooms is hardly possible and largely not approved.
  • Another rail switch configuration is from DE 21 63 825 known.
  • the invention has for its object a railroad switch configuration with regard to energy consumption, maintenance requirements, Web throughput and risk of wear / tear and contamination improve. Furthermore, it is desirable that an application in Explosion protection and in wet rooms possible without restriction is.
  • a basic idea of Invention is that for crossing branches required fixed and moving parts of the web and swap the switches. This results in the Possibility to create constructions that stand out through very low energy consumption, smooth driving through the Branches without stopping or braking phase and little Wear and significantly reduced maintenance requirements distinguished. Furthermore, the position of the seesaw and thus the direction of travel without contact by means of inductive Controlled energy transfer heads. This results in a advantageous smooth movement of the rocking movements. By Control of the turnouts can thus as with conventional Turnouts also set the direction of travel. Yet are no moving parts inside the switch required. The moving part is the seesaw, which Is part of the web.
  • This variant is particularly advantageous for tight successive lanes that do not follow a kind of timetable run, but for example via distance sensors recognize lanes ahead and use a intelligent logic according to claim 2 independently optimal Calculate routes to reach a specific destination.
  • Such systems are very flexible and, for example, at Assembly lines of large batch sizes can be used sensibly.
  • the guide rail and the rocker can be within the Be arranged hollow profile. This results in a effective protection against mechanical damage as well as dirt and environmental influences.
  • claims 6 for the electric floor track and 8 for the electric monorail mark advantageous Versions that are characterized by good stability and Characterize friction properties.
  • the guide pin or the Holding device can make the longitudinal slot virtually without contact push through.
  • Figure 1a illustrates the lower part of a Elektroêtbahn - EBB - 1 in cooperation with one Branch area 2 of a rail track arrangement 3.
  • Die Rail track arrangement 3 is essentially a hollow profile 4 formed with top longitudinal slot 5.
  • the longitudinal slot 5 extends through a guide pin 6 of the EBB 1, the top with a chassis axle 7 and on the underside with a Support bearing 8 and a rocker 13 is connected.
  • the Chassis axis 7 connects two drive wheels 9 together, which on both sides of the longitudinal slot 5 on the top 10 of the hollow profile 4 are movable and the forward movement of the Effect EBB 1.
  • the support bearing 8, for example a Ball bearing works with the inside 11 two Guide rails 12 of the hollow profile 4 together.
  • the control of the Rocker 13 is carried out via two mirror-symmetrical inductive Energy transfer heads 20, the free ends 15 and 16 of the rocker 13 opposite and arranged in the lower region of the hollow profile 4 are.
  • the two energy transfer heads 20 either the left free end 15 or the right free end 16 of the rocker 13 attracted so that the other free end with associated Guide roller 17 or 18 is hooked into one of the guide rails 12.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b 21 the same rocker principle is provided. It can be seen that the EMS 21 in the illustrated position of the rocker 13 to the right and thus in a right turn is drawn.
  • a modified hollow profile 22 is on one Ceiling structure 23 attached.
  • the rocker 13 and the inductive Energy transfer heads 20 are also in the hollow profile 22 Drive wheels 9 of the EMS 21 arranged.
  • the chassis axis 7 is on the top with the axis of rotation 14 of the rocker 13 and on the bottom with a Longitudinal slot 5 penetrating holding device 24 for a not load to be transported connected.
  • the holding device 24 the EHB 22 is analogous to the guide pin 6 of the EBB 1 with a Support bearing 25 is provided, which on a neck-shaped extension of the Longitudinal slot 5 is present.
