The higher this value, the shorter the monorail can be built. It follows, in turn, that even stations can be constructed shorter, which overall costs can be saved. In particular, when used for passenger transport, this essentially means with regard to the carriage construction that per running meter the largest possible open space is to be provided.

  • the center guide 220 is supported by the transverse struts 21 1, while the edges of the flanks 21 2 and 2 13, the running surfaces for the pairs of load wheels 1 1 1 and 1 2 1 form.
  • the flanks 21 2 and 213 do not protrude at a lower end (in the top of the V-shape) so that dirt and water can not accumulate.
  • the center guide 220 has a cross section of a double T's and is formed here from steel.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic oblique view of a rail 200.
  • the present rail 200 is approximately 25 m long.
  • a cavity between two transverse struts is approximately 4 m long.
  • the tread and the transverse struts are each about 300 mm wide.
  • the rail main body 21 0 has a width and a height of about 1.5 m each.
  • the center guide is about 700 mm high and about 100 mm wide in the guide wheel guide.
  • the flange above and below the guide area is approximately 260 mm wide.
  • This construction of rail 200 minimizes both material requirements and manufacturing cost and weight while providing an aesthetically pleasing rail.
  • the middle guide has on one side an extension and on the other side a receptacle for the extension. The connection area thus achieved serves as an expansion joint.
  • FIG. 8 shows a schematic sectional illustration in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of a rail 200.
  • FIG. 9 shows a schematic sectional illustration in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of a rail curve segment 300.
  • the present rail curve segment 300 has an angle of inclination transverse to the direction of travel of approximately 5 °. This allows an increased cornering speed.

  • the two center guides 610 and 620 are pivotably mounted on respectively diagonally opposite middle guide ends about a vertical axis.
  • a curved center guide 630 is arranged, which is mounted centrally pivotable about a vertical axis.
  • the figure 1 1 b shows the crossover of Figure 1 1 a in a second position in which a drive can change the rail track.
  • the two center guides 610 and 620 are simultaneously pivoted about their pivot axes, so that in each case one end of one of the center guides of the feeding rails and the discharging rails is released.
  • the shared ends of the center guides of the rails 200 are diagonally opposite each other.
  • the curved, in particular S-shaped, central guide 630 is likewise pivoted about its pivot axis, so that the ends of the center guide 630 now bear against the ends of the rails 200.
  • FIG. 1 2a shows a schematic oblique view of a crossover 700 with a multi-part center guide in a first position.
  • the crossover 700 is in turn arranged on a platform 750.

  • the two pivotable center guide parts 720 and 740 are now formed into a curve which as a whole forms an S-curve, which connects the two parallel crawlers.
  • the advantage of the exchangers explained above lies in the fact that only one center guide part has to be moved to the switch position, but not the load-bearing parts. For a simple design and at the same time safe switch is created, which is inexpensive to produce.
  • a drive which is characterized by a high degree of smoothness and a simple structure.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un train de roulement (100) pour un monorail présentant un sens de la marche principal, comportant quatre roues sous charge ayant chacune un axe de roues sous charge et un espace libre pour un dispositif de guidage central (220), les quatre roues sous charge étant disposées par paire sous la forme d'une première paire de roues sous charge (111) et d'une deuxième paire de roues sous charge (121) respectivement montées coaxialement, l'espace libre pour un dispositif de guidage central (220) étant formé entre les deux roues sous charge de la première paire de roues sous charge (111) et de la deuxième paire de roues sous charge (121). La première paire de roues sous charge (111) est reliée à la deuxième paire de roues sous charge par l'intermédiaire d'un axe de pivotement (140), de sorte que la première paire de roues sous charge (111) peut pivoter par rapport à la deuxième paire de roues sous charge (121).
