Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for crossing associated railway tracks to towing cables for vehicles towed by cable, said cable being placed below the level of the rails.
- tractor cable transport systems use vehicles running on pneumatic tires: the tractor cable can then be placed in a cavity well below ground level, and the vehicle may change steering by means of a switch such as that described in application FR 99 16,480 of the plaintiff.
- the cable is then not annoying because it is arranged well below the vehicle's lift surface and does not cross it.
- the cable is then located below the bearing surface of the rails but at the level of the structure of these.
- the invention aims to provide a device allowing a vehicle traveling on rails and towed by a cable located below the level of the rails, to change track, the clamp of said vehicle remaining permanently engaged with the cable tractor.
- the device according to the invention comprises at least one section of rail. on each track extending transversely between the two rails of another track, movable between a position in which it allows the passage of the vehicle on a track and a position in which it allows the vehicle to pass over the other way.
- each of the two track sections has a movable member between a closed position in which it is located in the path of the clamp of the vehicle traveling on the other track and a open position in which it clears the passage for said clamp of the vehicle traveling on said other lane.
- This device thus avoids having to change the means of traction at level of a lane change.
- the length and location of the movable rail element are predetermined by depending on the dimensions of the vehicle clamp engaged with the cable.
- the movement of the movable rail element from one position to another is controlled by an electromagnetic cylinder.
- an electromagnetic cylinder controls the movement simultaneous moving rail elements of several intersecting tracks.
- the command to move the rail elements is similar to that used for conventional railway switches. It will not be described further in details here.
- each movable rail element is articulated around a vertical pivot at one of its ends.
- the pivot can be located at the end of the movable rail element (9, 10) the further from the separation of the rails from the tracks (1, 2).
- the movable rail element has a recess on its lower part intended for the passage of the cable when the rail element is in the closed position.
- each movable rail element carries a rail element in the continuity of the rail on which it is located.
- the device of the invention is described for a transport system comprising two railways shown in the figures. It can of course be used for a much larger number of channels.
- one of the two channels is straight 1 and the other is deviated 2.
- Each track 1, 2 comprises two rails 1a, 1b and 2a, 2b respectively for the iron wheel bearing, and is associated with a towing cable 3, 4 respectively.
- the towing cables 3, 4 are placed below the level of the rails of the two railways, as shown in Figure 2.
- This clamp 6 is located in the lower part of the vehicle 5 and is intended for come into engagement with said cables 3, 4, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the clamp 6 can be movable transversely and disengageable, in order to come in taken with cables arranged at a distance from each other.
- FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 the path E of the clamp 6 when the vehicle is traveling is represented by a hatched strip, Figure 3 corresponding to the circulation of the vehicle 5 on the deviated lane 2, and FIG. 4 corresponding to the vehicle 5 on the right lane 1.
- This hatched strip E corresponds to the maximum size of the clamp during movement of the vehicle.
- the device according to the invention aims to avoid any risk of collision between the clamp and the rails.
- the towing cables 3, 4 are always arranged so as not to cross when changing lanes 1, 2.
- the rail sections 7, 8 are movable between a position in which they allow the passage of the vehicle 5 on the deviated track 2 and a position in which they allow the passage of the vehicle 5 on the other track 1.
- Each rail section 7, 8 comprises a movable element 9, 10 respectively.
- Each element 9, 10 is movable between a closed position 9a, 10a in which it is in the path E of the clamp 6 of the vehicle traveling on the other track and an open position 9b, 10b in which it clears the passage for said clamp 6 of the vehicle traveling on said other track.
- the elements 9 and 10 are respectively in the open position 9b and closed 10a, which allows the vehicle to travel on the right lane 1.
- each rail element mobile 9, 10 is articulated around a vertical pivot 11 placed at one of its ends.
- the elements 9, 10 are directed towards each other, each pivot 11 being disposed at the end of the element 9, 10 furthest away separation of channels 1, 2.
- each pivot 11 is placed between the two cables 3, 4.
- the elements 9, 10 are substantially parallel or tangent to the strip E forming the trajectory of the clamp 6 which they allow the passage ( Figures 3 and 4).
- the length and location of the movable rail member 9, 10 are predetermined according to the dimensions of the clamp 6 of the engaged vehicle with cable 3, 4.
- the displacement of the movable rail element 9, 10 from one position to the other can be controlled by an electromagnetic cylinder 12.
- an electromagnetic cylinder 12 controls the movement simultaneous movable rail elements 9, 10 of the two crossing paths 1, 2.
- FIGS. 3a, 3b and 4a, 4b are transverse views of the elements 9, 10 in closed or open position.
- the elements 9, 10 of movable rail have a recess 13 on their lower part intended for cable passage when the rail element is in the closed position.
- This recess 13 can be more or less important depending on the position of the cable 3, 4 with respect to an element 9, 10. It extends, when said element is in position closed, along the path of the cable, the latter being secant from the longitudinal direction of said element 9, 10.
- the recess 13 consists of a slight recess 13a on the face vertical lateral adjacent to the cable 4 in the part where the cable is remote of element 9, 10, as shown in Figure 3b.
- a support 14 is necessary to support the end free from the upper part 13b when the element 9, 10 is in the closed position, so that the latter supports without deformation the forces exerted by a vehicle 5 traveling on said element (FIG. 3a).
- Each movable rail element 9, 10 carries an element 15 forming a rail on its upper part 13b in the continuity of the rail on which it is located.
- This element is made of metal and allows vehicles to roll on the track ensuring the continuity of the rail, without risk of derailment.
- the rail element 9, 10 is made of rigid material capable of withstanding the forces of bearing, such as the metal usually used to make rails.
- This type of device can for example be used in installations such as than that described in the patent application filed by the same applicant and the same day as this request, titled "moving facility of vehicles towed by cable ”, for vehicles traveling on rails.
- the device according to the invention is coupled to a rail change switch classic (not shown) allowing the vehicle to change lanes.
- the movements of the device according to the invention and of the switch are then coordinated to ensure trouble-free vehicle lane change.
