Description

RAIL DE GUIDAGE POUR VEHICULE ROUTIER DU TYPE AUTOGUIDEGUIDE RAIL FOR A SELF-GUIDING ROAD VEHICLE
L'invention se rapporte à un rail de guidage destiné aux transports urbains de personnes. En raison de la place limitée au sol dans les villes, et notamment au centre des vieilles villes, les municipalités ont tendance à porter leur choix pour les transports de surface sur des types de transport en commun guidés. Ces types de transport garantissent une emprise minimale au sol notamment dans les virages.The invention relates to a guide rail intended for urban passenger transport. Because of the limited space on the ground in cities, and especially in the center of old cities, municipalities tend to choose their surface transport over guided types of public transport. These types of transport guarantee a minimal footprint, especially when cornering.
Parmi ceux-ci figurent les tramways, mais aussi maintenant des véhicules routiers guidés par des systèmes de guidage plus ou moins complexes utilisant pour la plupart un rail de guidage servant de piste de roulement au(x) galet (s) de l'organe directeur.Among these are trams, but also now road vehicles guided by more or less complex guidance systems using for the most part a guide rail serving as a running track for the roller (s) of the governing body. .
Les villes déjà équipées de transports en commun de surface sur rails ou routiers autoguidés ne peuvent envisager de changer d'infrastructure en raison des lourds investissements dont elles ont souvent faitCities already equipped with surface public transport on rails or self-guided roads cannot consider changing their infrastructure because of the heavy investments they have often made
1 ' objet.1. Object.
L'invention apporte une solution positive à ce désir d'utiliser les structures existantes pour d'autres types de moyens de transport, et en particulier l'utilisation de moyens de transport routiers guidés au sol.The invention provides a positive solution to this desire to use existing structures for other types of transport, and in particular the use of road transport means guided on the ground.
L'invention a donc pour but général de transformer les rails existants pour les rendre aptes à servir de rails de guidage dans un autre système de guidage, notamment un ensemble de guidage à galets inclinés.The invention therefore has the general aim of transforming the existing rails to make them suitable for serving as guide rails in another guide system, in particular a guide assembly with inclined rollers.
Le but particulier est de rendre le ou les rails existants polyvalents en utilisant la zone intermédiaire entre la semelle et le profil supérieur pour permettre un guidage par un système différent, notamment celui du type à galets inclinés.The particular aim is to make the existing rail or rails versatile by using the intermediate zone between the sole and the upper profile to allow guidance by a different system, in particular that of the type with inclined rollers.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un rail de guidage présentant un profil supérieur de roulement et une base à semelle de fixation pour son montage sur le sol ou sur un support caractérisé en ce que l'on ménage sur une zone intermédiaire s 'étendant du profil supérieur de roulement à la base de fixation au moins une piste de roulage-guidage d'au moins un galet de guidage le long du rail.To this end, the invention relates to a guide rail having an upper running profile and a base with a fixing sole for mounting on the ground or on a support, characterized in that an intermediate zone extending from the upper running profile to the base of the fixing at least one rolling-guide track of at least one guide roller along the rail.
L'intérêt de l'invention réside dans les avantages suivants. En modifiant le ou les rail(s) existant(s), on les rend bi ou multicompatibles, c'est-à-dire aptes à être utilisés par un ou d'autres systèmes de guidage.The advantage of the invention lies in the following advantages. By modifying the existing rail (s), they are made bi or multicompatible, that is to say capable of being used by one or other guidance systems.
La même infrastructure peut servir à la fois au système de transport d'origine, mais aussi à d'autres systèmes de guidage.The same infrastructure can be used both for the original transport system, but also for other guidance systems.
Il peut aussi convenir à deux moyens de transport autoguidés mais par des organes directionnels différents.It may also be suitable for two self-guided means of transport but by different directional bodies.
Il peut surtout admettre, lorsqu'il est du type ferroviaire, un moyen de transport en commun autoguidé du type routier.Above all, it may accept, when it is of the rail type, a self-guided public means of transport of the road type.
Avec un investissement unique, le rail de guidage selon l'invention permet d'assurer pour le futur la compatibilité avec d'autres systèmes de guidage par rail.With a unique investment, the guide rail according to the invention makes it possible to ensure compatibility with other rail guide systems for the future.
Classiquement, les rails utilisent le profil supérieur pour assurer le guidage en général par roulement.Conventionally, the rails use the upper profile to provide guidance in general by rolling.
Le but de 1 ' invention est de rendre le rail polyvalent en utilisant les autres zones disponibles pour un autre guidage par un système à galets.The object of the invention is to make the rail versatile by using the other areas available for other guidance by a roller system.
On ménage une interface complémentaire dans la partie intermédiaire du rail pour permettre également un guidage mais par un système différent. L'idée générale inventive consiste à conférer une polyvalence par rapport à différents systèmes de guidage et ceci sans modifier la partie supérieure du rail relative au roulage-guidage ou au roulage simple.An additional interface is provided in the intermediate part of the rail to also allow guidance, but by a different system. The general inventive idea consists in conferring a versatility compared to different guidance systems and this without modifying the upper part of the rail relating to guide-rolling or simple rolling.

Figures 8 and 9 are cross sections respectively of a complete assembly with two running-guide rails and a complete assembly with two inclined guide rollers shown in front of the tire adjacent to the guided vehicle.
Sur un rail de guidage comportant classiquement un profil supérieur 1 de roulement ou table de roulage utilisé pour le roulage et une base 2 formant une semelle d'appui 3 pour sa fixation au sol 4 ou sur un support plan on ménage sur une zone intermédiaire 5 s' étendant du profil supérieur 1 à la base 2 au moins une piste de roulement 6 pour le déplacement par roulage d'au moins un galet de guidage 7 le long du rail. Cette piste de roulement 6 se présente de façon préférentielle sous la forme d'une rampe inclinéeOn a guide rail conventionally comprising an upper profile 1 of rolling or rolling table used for rolling and a base 2 forming a support sole 3 for its attachment to the ground 4 or on a flat support is housed in an intermediate zone 5 extending from the upper profile 1 to the base 2 at least one rolling track 6 for the displacement by rolling of at least one guide roller 7 along the rail. This raceway 6 is preferably in the form of an inclined ramp
8 pratiquée sur le flanc du rail dans la zone intermédiaire 5 définie ci-dessus et ceci en retrait comme le montrent les zones hachurées.8 formed on the side of the rail in the intermediate zone 5 defined above and this set back as shown by the hatched zones.
Cette rampe coopère avec un galet de guidage 7 incliné faisant partie d'un ensemble de guidage 9 monté sur un véhicule routier dont on a représenté une roue avec pneu 10 sur les figures 7 et 9. Cette piste de roulement peut être placée verticalement et coopérer avec un galet horizontal. Elle pourrait aussi être horizontale et coopérer avec un galet vertical.This ramp cooperates with an inclined guide roller 7 forming part of a guide assembly 9 mounted on a road vehicle of which a wheel with tire 10 is shown in FIGS. 7 and 9. This rolling track can be placed vertically and cooperate with a horizontal roller. It could also be horizontal and cooperate with a vertical roller.
On a représenté à titre d'exemple deux formes de section de rail.There are shown by way of example two forms of rail section.
On distingue d'abord une section de rail dont la partie supérieure est utilisée classiquement en guidage à l'aide d'un galet 11 du type poulie à gorge en profil carré ou rectangulaire. Les parois latérales de la gorge sont destinées à éviter le déraillement.First of all, there is a section of rail, the upper part of which is conventionally used for guiding using a roller 11 of the pulley type with groove in square or rectangular profile. The side walls of the groove are intended to prevent derailment.
La zone intermédiaire de ce rail de guidage est constituée par la partie inférieure du champignon faisant suite à l'âme. Elle est entaillée de chaque côté selon une forme générale en coin 12 pour former à chaque fois la rampe 8 servant de piste de roulement pour un galet de guidage 7 faisant partie d'un ensemble de guidage spécifique 9 différent de celui utilisant le galet droit supérieur.The intermediate zone of this guide rail is formed by the lower part of the mushroom following the core. It is notched on each side in a general wedge shape 12 to each time form the ramp 8 serving as a rolling track for a guide roller 7 forming part of a specific guide assembly 9 different from that using the upper right roller .
La rampe est inclinée selon une pente parallèle à l'axe du galet de guidage.The ramp is inclined along a slope parallel to the axis of the guide roller.
La deuxième variante se présente sous la formé générale d'un rail 13 à gorge 14 utilisé classiquement pour les transports ferroviaires urbains de rue appelés tramways. II se compose d'une partie supérieure de roulage-guidage 1 en champignon appelée classiquement table de roulage utilisée par les roues ou bogies 15 des tramways. Ce champignon se poursuit latéralement par une extension linéaire transversale 16 délimitant avec le champignon la gorge longitudinale 14. Il est suivi vers le bas par une âme 17 et la semelle de fixation 3.The second variant is in the general form of a grooved rail 13 14 conventionally used for urban street rail transport called trams. It consists of an upper part of rolling-guide 1 in mushroom conventionally called rolling table used by the wheels or bogies 15 trams. This fungus continues laterally by a transverse linear extension 16 delimiting with the fungus the longitudinal groove 14. It is followed downwards by a core 17 and the fixing sole 3.
Selon l'invention, la partie supérieure 1 servant de table de roulage est conservée à 1 • identique alors que la partie intermédiaire 5 située en dessous du champignon et près de l'âme 17 est conformée de façon à présenter un retrait 18 comportant dans sa partie inférieure la rampe de roulage 8 de préférence inclinée servant de piste de roulement au galet de guidage 7.According to the invention, the upper part 1 serving as a rolling table is kept at 1 • identical while the intermediate part 5 located below the mushroom and near the core 17 is shaped so as to have a recess 18 comprising in its lower part, the rolling ramp 8, preferably inclined, serving as a rolling track for the guide roller 7.
Ces rails sont en général utilisés par deux (figures 8 et 9) . Le rail homologue placé en regard est disposé symétriquement par rapport à 1 • axe médian longitudinal de la voie. Il présente les mêmes caractéristiques de façon à pouvoir servir de piste de roulement à un galet 7 symétrique d'un même système de guidage d'un véhicule routier.These rails are generally used in pairs (Figures 8 and 9). The counterpart rail placed opposite is arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal longitudinal axis of the track. It has the same characteristics so that it can serve as a running track for a symmetrical roller 7 of the same guidance system for a road vehicle.
Les galets de guidage de ce même système de guidage sont inclinés divergents du haut vers le bas. Ils peuvent être intégrés chacun à un bras de guidage faisant partie d'un même ensemble. Quel que soit le système de guidage on peut envisager l'utilisation de la partie supérieure du rail pour réaliser le retour de courant au moyen d'un frotteur solidaire du véhicule. The guide rollers of this same guide system are inclined diverging from top to bottom. They can each be integrated into a guide arm forming part of the same assembly. Whatever the guidance system, the use of the upper part of the rail can be envisaged to produce the current return by means of a wiper secured to the vehicle.
