Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe bei dem Transportsystem nach den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.According to the invention, the object is achieved in the transport system according to the features specified in claim 1.

Wichtige Merkmale der Erfindung bei dem Transportsystem sind, dass es eine Schienenanlage und ein darauf bewegbar angeordnetes Fahrzeug aufweist, insbesondere schienengeführtes Fahrzeug, wobei die Schienenanlage Profilschienenteile aufweist, welche jeweils einen Schlitzhohlleiter aufweisen,
wobei ein Fahrzeug Antennen aufweist, welche in die Öffnung des Schlitzhohlleiters hineinragen zur Funkübertragung,
wobei die Antennen in einem derartigen Abstand A in Schienenrichtung voneinander beabstandet sind, dass ein unversorgter Funkstreckenbereich der Länge B in Schienenrichtung überbrückbar ist, insbesondere also der Abstand A größer ist als die Länge B.
Important features of the invention in the transport system are that it has a rail system and a vehicle arranged movably thereon, in particular rail-guided vehicle, the rail system having profile rail parts, which each have a slot waveguide,
wherein a vehicle has antennas which protrude into the opening of the slot waveguide for radio transmission,
wherein the antennas are spaced apart in such a distance A in the rail direction, that an unsupervised radio range of the length B in the rail direction is bridged, in particular therefore the distance A is greater than the length B.

Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass einerseits Schlitzhohlleiter zur fast geschlossenen Führung der Funkwellen verwendbar sind und somit ein störendes Übersprechen vermeidbar ist und außerdem auch mit Funkwellen unversorgte Bereiche versorgbar sind durch die überbrückende Anordnung der beiden Antennen.The advantage here is that on the one hand slot waveguide for almost closed leadership of the radio waves can be used and thus a disturbing crosstalk can be avoided and also with radio waves unserved areas can be supplied by the bridging arrangement of the two antennas.

Der Schlitz des Schlitzhohlleiters verläuft dabei in Schienenrichtung.The slot of the slot waveguide runs in the rail direction.

Erfindungsgemäss umfasst der unversorgte Funkstreckenbereich einen Bereich einer Weiche, insbesondere weist er keinen Schlitzhohlleiter auf und/oder eine Weiche, die ein vom Fahrzeug zu überfahrendes Weichenstück aufweist, welches keinen funkversorgten Schlitzhohlleiter, insbesondere keinen Schlitzhohlleiter, aufweist. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass die Weichenstücke nicht mit Schlitzhohlleiter ausgeführt sein müssen und/oder auch nicht funkwellenversorgt sein müssen.According to the invention, the uncovered radio link area comprises an area of a switch, in particular it does not have a slot waveguide and / or a switch which has a switch piece to be crossed by the vehicle which does not have a radio-guided slot waveguide, in particular a slot waveguide.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die Öffnung, insbesondere der Schlitz, des Schlitzhohlleiters und/oder der Schlitzhohlleiter spursymmetrisch angeordnet, insbesondere wobei die Antennen jeweils mittig zur Öffnung, insbesondere Schlitz, des Schlitzhohlleiters und/oder zum Schlitzhohlleiter angeordnet ist. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass die Antenne während der Bewegung in der Mitte des Schlitzes geführt bleibt. Somit ist auch bei Kurvenfahrt eine ununterbrochene Datenübertragung ermöglicht.In an advantageous embodiment, the opening, in particular the slot, the slot waveguide and / or the slot waveguide is arranged spursymmetrisch, in particular wherein the antennas each centrally of the opening, in particular slot, the slot waveguide and / or the slot waveguide is arranged.

Erfindungsgemäss weist das Fahrzeug ein vorderes und ein hinteres Modul auf, welches jeweils ein Rad des Fahrzeugs, insbesondere Antriebsrad oder Tragrad des Fahrzeugs, aufweist,
wobei ein Verbindungsmittel über ein Drehlager mit dem vorderen und/oder über ein Drehlager mit dem hinteren Modul verbunden ist. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass die Antenne bei Kurvenfahrt exakt beziehungsweise bei geringfügigen Abweichungen von der Drehachsenposition geringfügig von der Mitte ausgelenkt wird. Somit ist eine ununterbrochene Datenübertragung ermöglicht - auch bei Kurvenfahrt. Außerdem ist auch eine im Schlitzhohlleiter stationär angeordnete Antennenvorrichtung, die hochfrequente elektromagnetische Signale, also Funkwellen, in Schienenrichtung und entgegen der Schienenrichtung einkoppelt, überbrückbar, wodurch auch bei Überfahren dieser Stelle eine ungestörte Datenübertragung ermöglicht ist.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand von schematischen Abbildungen näher erläutert:

  • In der Figur 1 ist ein Ausschnitt einer Schienenanlage gezeigt, welcher eine Weiche 3 aufweist.
  • In der Figur 2 ist ein Querschnitt durch das Schienenprofil im Bereich eines auf der Schiene verfahrenden Fahrzeugs gezeigt.
  • In der Figur 3 ist eine zugehörige Seitenansicht gezeigt.
  • In der Figur 4 ist eine schematische Darstellung der Einkopplung von Hochfrequenz in Schienenabschnitte der Schienenanlage gezeigt.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to schematic illustrations:
  • In the FIG. 1 a section of a rail system is shown, which has a switch 3.
  • In the FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the rail profile in the area of a traveling on the rail vehicle.
  • In the FIG. 3 an associated side view is shown.
  • In the FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the coupling of high frequency in rail sections of the rail system shown.

Wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, weist die Anlage Schienenteile auf, auf denen ein Fahrzeug 2 verfahrbar ist. Dabei ist auch zumindest eine passive Weiche 3 vorgesehen, die das Fahrzeug 2 durchqueren muss. Die Weiche 3 wird von einem Stellantrieb wahlweise in eine erste oder zweite Weichenposition verfahren.

By means of this method, the corresponding turnout piece to be activated is brought into position.

Die Profilschiene 4 weist auch ein Schlitzhohlleiterprofil 24 auf, wie auch in Figur 2 näher dargestellt ist. In den nach außen geöffneten Schlitz des Schlitzhohlleiterprofils 24 ragt eine Antenne 1 hinein, so dass elektromagnetische Wellen einkoppelbar und auskoppelbar sind.

At some points of the rail system stationary arranged means for coupling and / or decoupling of the waves are arranged.

Da in Schienenrichtung im Bereich B der Weiche der Schlitzhohlleiter keine stationär angeordnete Mittel zum Einkoppeln und/oder Auskoppeln aufweist, ist auch kein Datenaustausch mit dem Fahrzeug ausführbar.Since in the rail direction in the region B of the switch of the slot waveguide has no stationarily arranged means for coupling and / or decoupling, no data exchange with the vehicle is executable.

Daher weist das Fahrzeug 2 in Schienenrichtung im Abstand A Antennen 1 auf, wobei der Abstand A länger als der Bereich B ist. Somit ist auch im Weichenbereich ein Datenaustausch ermöglicht, obwohl die Weichenstücke keinen Schlitzhohlleiter aufweisen und nur die außerhalb des Weichenbereichs sich befindenden Schienenprofilteile Schlitzhohlleiterbereiche aufweisen.Therefore, the vehicle 2 in the rail direction at a distance A antennas 1, wherein the distance A is longer than the area B. Thus, data exchange is also possible in the switch area, although the points pieces have no slot waveguide and only the rail profile parts located outside the switch area have slot waveguide areas.

Wie in Figur 2 deutlich erkennbar, ist der Schlitzhohlleiterbereich 24 einstückig am Profilschienenteil 23 ausgeformt. Somit ist er ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand zusammen mit dem Profilschienenteil 23 als Stranggussteil herstellbar.As in FIG. 2 clearly visible, the slot waveguide region 24 is integrally formed on the profile rail part 23. Thus, it can be produced without additional effort together with the profile rail part 23 as a continuous casting.

Dabei weist das Profilschienenteil 23 eine zentrale Wand auf, welche an ihrer Oberseite und Unterseite Abrollbereiche für Räder des Fahrzeugs 20 aufweist.In this case, the profile rail part 23 has a central wall, which has Abrollbereiche for wheels of the vehicle 20 at its top and bottom.

Dabei ist einerseits an der Oberseite ein Abrollbereich für ein Tragrad 22 angeordnet, das zumindest teilweise die Gewichtskraft des Fahrzeugs 20 an das Profilschienenteil 23 ableitet.In this case, on the one hand on the upper side a Abrollbereich for a support wheel 22 is arranged, which at least partially derives the weight of the vehicle 20 to the profile rail part 23.

Seitlich sind Abrollbereiche für die seitlichen Führungsräder 21 des Fahrzeugs 20 angeordnet. Auch an der Unterseite sind solche seitlichen Führungsräder auf Abrollbereichen abrollbar, wobei diese Abrollbereiche zumindest teilweise die äußere Oberfläche des Schlitzhohlleiters 24 darstellen.Abrollbereiche for the lateral guide wheels 21 of the vehicle 20 are arranged laterally. Also on the underside of such lateral guide wheels are rolling on Abrollbereichen, said Abrollbereiche at least partially represent the outer surface of the slot waveguide 24.

Der Schlitzhohlleiter 23 ist spursymmetrisch angeordnet, weist also eine Symmetrieebene auf, welche mittig zu den in Schienenrichtung gesehen linken und rechten Abrollbereichen für die seitlichen Führungsräder 21 angeordnet ist. Wird also ein Abrollbereich, beispielsweise der linke Abrollbereich, für seitliche Führung gespiegelt an einer Symmetrieebene geht dieser in einen anderen Abrollbereich über, insbesondere den rechten Abrollbereich.The slot waveguide 23 is arranged in a spur-symmetrical manner, that is to say it has a plane of symmetry which is arranged centrally to the left and right rolling regions for the lateral guide wheels 21, as seen in the rail direction. Thus, if a rolling area, for example the left rolling area, is mirrored for lateral guidance on a plane of symmetry, it moves into another rolling area, in particular the right rolling area.

Diese mittige Anordnung des Schlitzhohlleiterbereichs 24 zur Schienenspur ermöglicht, dass am Fahrzeug eine Antenne 25 angeordnet ist, die ebenfalls mittig zum Schlitzhohlleiterberiech 24, insbesondere mittig zu dessen nach unten gerichteter Öffnung, also Schlitz, angeordnet ist.This central arrangement of the slot waveguide region 24 to the rail track allows the vehicle to an antenna 25 is arranged, which is also centrally to the Schlitzhohlleiterberiech 24, in particular centrally to the downwardly directed opening, so slot is arranged.

An der zentralen Wand des Profilschienenteils 23 sind auch Hinterschnitte ausgebildet, so dass ein Halteteil 27 einklipsbar ist, welches vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist und in welches Primärleiter-Leitungen einklipsbar sind. Dabei ist der Primärleiter als elektrische Schliefe verlegt, in welche ein mittelfrequenter Wechselstrom eingeprägt wird. Dabei ist eine Frequenz zwischen 10 kHz und 1000 kHz vorteilhaft. Zum Fahrzeug hin hervorragend ist der hinleitende Teil der Schleife und näher zur Wand hin ist der rückleitende Teil der Schleife einklipsbar in das Halteteil 27. Der hinleitende Teil, also Hinleiter, wird in den Einklipsbereich 28 für Primärleiter, insbesondere Linienleiter, eingeklipst und der rückleitende Teil, also Rückleiter, in den Einklipsbereich 29 für Primärleiter, insbesondere Linienleiter.On the central wall of the profile rail part 23 and undercuts are formed so that a holding part 27 can be clipped, which is preferably made of plastic and in which primary conductor lines are clipped. In this case, the primary conductor is laid as electrical Schläub, in which a medium-frequency alternating current is impressed. There is one Frequency between 10 kHz and 1000 kHz advantageous. To the vehicle out is excellent the leading part of the loop and closer to the wall of the return part of the loop is clipped into the holding part 27. The leading part, ie Hinleiter, is clipped into the Einklipsbereich 28 for primary conductors, especially line conductors, and the return part , ie return conductor, in the Einklipsbereich 29 for primary conductors, in particular line conductors.

Am Fahrzeug ist eine Sekundärwicklung vorgesehen, die induktiv gekoppelt ist an den Primärleiter, wobei der Sekundärwicklung eine derartige Kapazität parallel und/oder in Reihe zugeschaltet ist, dass die zugehörige Resonanzfrequenz im Wesentlichen der Frequenz des in den Primärleiter eingeprägten Wechselstromes entspricht. Somit ist Energie übertragbar mit einem hohen Wirkungsgrad, insbesondere auch bei Abweichungen von der Position der maximalen induktiven Kopplung.On the vehicle, a secondary winding is provided, which is inductively coupled to the primary conductor, wherein the secondary winding such a capacitance is connected in parallel and / or in series, that the associated resonant frequency substantially corresponds to the frequency of the impressed in the primary conductor alternating current. Thus, energy is transferable with a high efficiency, especially in the case of deviations from the position of the maximum inductive coupling.

Außerdem ist am Halteteil 27 oder alternativ am Profilschienenteil 23 ein Streckengeber angeordnet, wie beispielsweise Barcode, so dass mittels eines entsprechenden Lesegeräts oder Sensors eine Bestimmung der Position des Fahrzeugs in der Schienenanlage ausführbar ist. Eine bevorzugte Stelle zum Anbringen des Streckengebers bei der alternativen Ausführung stellen die Wangen des Profilschienenteils 23 dar, wobei die Wangen die Abrollbereiche für die seitlichen Führungsräder aufweisen. Dabei sind die Wangen senkrecht zur Schienenrichtung und senkrecht zur Achse der seitlichen Führungsräder verlängert ausgeführt, so dass genügend Oberfläche zur Verfügung steht, wo dann der Streckengeber aufbringbar ist, beispielsweise aufgeklebt wird.In addition, a track transmitter is arranged on the holding part 27 or alternatively on the profile rail part 23, such as bar code, so that by means of a corresponding reader or sensor, a determination of the position of the vehicle in the rail system is executable. A preferred location for attaching the track transmitter in the alternative embodiment, the cheeks of the profile rail part 23, wherein the cheeks have the Abrollbereiche for the lateral guide wheels. The cheeks are designed to extend perpendicular to the rail direction and perpendicular to the axis of the lateral guide wheels, so that sufficient surface is available, where then the distance encoder can be applied, for example, is glued.

Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt weist das Fahrzeug ein Vorderrad, also das Antriebsrad 31 auf, welches von einem Elektromotor 30 angetrieben wird, und ein Hinterrad, das als bloßes Tragrad 32 fungiert. Um ein Durchfahren von Kurven zu ermöglichen, weist das Fahrzeug ein erstes starres Modul auf, welches den Elektromotor 30 aufweist und an welchem das Antriebsrad 31 gelagert ist. Ein weiteres Modul umfasst die Lagerung für das bloße Tragrad 32. Die beiden Module sind über ein Verbindungsteil 33 verbunden, wobei im Verbindungsbereich ein Drehlager angeordnet ist, dessen Drehachse senkrecht zur Schienenrichtung und senkrecht zur Achse der seitlichen Führungsräder 21 ausgerichtet ist. An den beiden Modulen ist die jeweilige Antenne 25 befestigt mittels eines Halteteils 34. Dabei ragt die Antenne 25 in die Öffnung des Schlitzhohlleiters im Bereich X hinein. Vorzugsweise wird die Position des Hineinragens mittig zum Tragrad beziehungsweise Antriebsrad 31 gewählt, wodurch die Antenne 25 im Beriech der Drehachse zwischen Modul und Verbindungsteil 33 angeordnet ist. Somit ist beim Durchfahren von Kurven die Antenne 25 stets mittig zur Öffnung ausgerichtet und angeordnet. Je weiter die Antenne 25 von der Drehachse entfernt angeordnet ist, desto weiter weicht sie bei Kurvenfahrt von der zur Öffnung des Schlitzhohlleiters 24 mittigen Position ab.As in FIG. 3 As shown, the vehicle has a front wheel, that is to say the drive wheel 31, which is driven by an electric motor 30, and a rear wheel, which functions as a mere carrying wheel 32. In order to enable driving through curves, the vehicle has a first rigid module which has the electric motor 30 and on which the drive wheel 31 is mounted. A further module comprises the mounting for the mere support wheel 32. The two modules are connected via a connecting part 33, wherein in the connecting region a rotary bearing is arranged, whose axis of rotation is oriented perpendicular to the rail direction and perpendicular to the axis of the lateral guide wheels 21. At the two modules, the respective antenna 25 is fastened by means of a holding part 34. In this case, the antenna 25 projects into the opening of the slot waveguide in the region X. Preferably, the position of the entry centered to the support wheel or Drive wheel 31 is selected, whereby the antenna 25 is arranged in the region of the axis of rotation between the module and connecting part 33. Thus, when driving through curves, the antenna 25 is always aligned and arranged centrally to the opening. The farther the antenna 25 is located away from the axis of rotation, the further it deviates from the central position for opening the slot waveguide 24 when cornering.

Wie in Figur 4 gezeigt, weist die Schienenanlage einen Access Point 47 auf, mit dem ein hochfrequentes Signal zur Datenübertragung an Splitter übertragbar ist. Dabei wird das vom Access Point 47 ausgehende Signal mehrfach aufgesplittet über die in Figur 4 gezeigten Splitter 46, so dass das Signal den verschiedenen Schienenabschnitten (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45) zuleitbar ist. In Figur 4 ist eine sechsfache Aufsplittung gezeigt. Vorzugsweise wird das von einem Splitter 46 aufgesplittete Signal in einer Schiene von einem stationär angeordneten, mittig im Schlitzhohlleiterbereich angeordneten Antennenvorrichtung in zwei entgegengesetzte Richtungen eingestrahlt. Somit sind viele Schienenabschnitte von nur einem einzigen Access Point 47, also auch von nur einem einzigen zugehörigen Funkmodem, mit dem hochfrequenten Signal zur Datenübertragung versorgbar.As in FIG. 4 shown, the rail system to an access point 47, with a high-frequency signal for data transmission to splitter is transferable. The outgoing signal from the Access Point 47 is split several times over the in FIG. 4 shown splitter 46, so that the signal to the different rail sections (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45) zulleitbar. In FIG. 4 a sixfold splitting is shown. Preferably, the signal split by a splitter 46 is irradiated in a rail by a stationary antenna device arranged centrally in the slot waveguide region in two opposite directions. Thus, many rail sections of only a single access point 47, so even by only a single associated radio modem, with the high-frequency signal for data transmission can be supplied.

Auf diese Weise ist also von einem Access Point 47 ein großer Bereich, also Funkzelle versorgbar, wodurch häufige Funkzellenwechsel beim Bewegen der Fahrzeuge in der Schienenanlage vermeidbar sind. Durch die Vermeidung der störanfälligen Funkzellenwechsel ist die Fehlerrate bei der Datenübertragung verringerbar.In this way, from an access point 47, a large area, so radio cell supplied, which frequent radio cell changes when moving the vehicles in the rail system can be avoided. By avoiding the interference-prone radio cell changes, the error rate during data transmission can be reduced.

Durch die Integration des Schlitzhohlleiters 24 in den unteren Wangenbereich des Schienenprofilteils 23 ist ein Nachrüsten von alten Anlagen ohne Schlitzhohlleiter in einfacher Weise ausführbar, ohne dass die Fahrzeuge verändert werden müssen - mit Ausnahme der einzubauenden Antennen und Datenübertragungsmittel.Due to the integration of the slot waveguide 24 in the lower cheek area of the rail profile part 23 retrofitting of old systems without slot waveguide in a simple manner executable without the vehicles must be changed - with the exception of the antennas and data transmission means to be installed.
