Description

  The present invention relates to a guide rail type railroad provided with a guide rail on the side of a track on which a vehicle passes.

  As a public transportation system with intermediate transportation capacity between railways and buses, a medium-volume transportation system called a new transportation system is known. As this kind of medium-volume transportation system, vehicles are installed on a dedicated track. Many guide rail type railways that are guided by a guide rail (guide rail) to travel.

  The above-mentioned guide rail type railway is also abbreviated as APM (Automated People Mover), and the guide rail is a side guide rail type on the side of the trajectory through which the vehicle passes, and the center guide at the center of the track. There is a rail type.

  7 and 8 show an outline of a side guide rail type guide rail type railway (hereinafter referred to as APM). A vehicle 1 of the APM includes a vehicle body 2 which is a main body and wheels made of rubber tires. 4 is provided with a carriage 3 supported by 4.

  In addition, the civil engineering structure 5 for the APM dedicated track includes the track 8 for passing the vehicle 1, for example, as shown in FIG. For each track 8 of the vehicle 1 provided in two places in the left-right width direction, a road 7 made of concrete or mortar having a rectangular cross section having a required height dimension is provided on the track floor 6 with a civil structure 5 of the track. The vehicle 1 travels through the wheels 4 of the carriage 3 on the upper side of the travel path 7.

  Further, the carriage 3 of the vehicle 1 is provided with left and right guide arms 9 for steering the left and right wheels 4, and guide wheels 10 rotate at the outer end portions of the left and right guide arms 9. It is provided freely.

  Furthermore, on the left and right sides of each track 8 in the civil engineering structure 5 of the track, guide rails extending along the track 8 at height positions corresponding to the guide wheels 10 of the guide arm 9 of the vehicle 1 ( Guide rails 11 are provided. Thus, when the APM vehicle 1 travels on the track 8, when the track 8 is a straight line, the guide rails 11 installed on both the left and right sides are also arranged in a straight line. When the guide wheels 10 attached to the left and right guide arms 9 are brought into rolling contact with the guide rails 11, the wheels 4 of the APM vehicle 1 can be arranged in the straight direction by the left and right guide arms 9. It is like that.

  On the other hand, at the place where the track 8 is curved in the left-right direction, as shown in FIG. 8, the left and right guide rails 11 arranged along the track 8 are also curved in the left-right direction. The guide wheel 10 attached to the guide arm 9 on the side facing the outside of the curve of the vehicle 1 comes into rolling contact while being pressed against the inner surface of the guide rail 11 provided along the outside of the curve. By the reaction force when the guide wheel 10 is pressed against the guide rail 11 outside the curve, the left and right wheels 4 of the carriage 3 follow the curve of the guide rail 11 via the guide wheel 10 and the guide arm 9. By steering in the left-right direction, the vehicle 1 can be driven along the curve of the track 8.

  As described above, when the guide wheels 10 of the vehicle 1 are brought into rolling contact with the guide rails 11 arranged along the left and right sides of the track 8, the wheels 4 of the vehicle 1 are steered. Since the reaction force acts as an outward load from the side of the track 8, it is necessary to firmly support the guide rails 11 so as to be able to withstand the load. Of the guide rails 11 provided on both the left and right sides, the guide rails 11 disposed closer to the outer side in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track than the track 8 are both edge portions in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track. It is made to support on the concrete track side wall 12 provided in one piece. Further, the guide rail 11 arranged closer to the center in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track than the track 8 is a concrete evacuation path // erected at the center in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track. Alternatively, it is supported by the worker passage forming member 13. The upper end portion of the evacuation route / or worker passage forming member 13 is an evacuation route / or worker passage 14 having a required width, and is shown when the operation of the vehicle 1 is stopped due to an unexpected situation. Passengers who do not walk can walk to the nearby station by walking on the evacuation route / and / or worker passage 14, and a worker (not shown) can pass for maintenance and other purposes as needed.

  Reference numeral 15 denotes a power feeding device provided along the track side wall 12, 16 denotes a traveling motor for the carriage 3, and 17 denotes a current collecting device. By bringing the current collecting device 17 into contact with the power feeding device 15, the vehicle 1 side So that they can receive power.

  Reference numeral 18 denotes a branching ring having a diameter smaller than that of the guide wheel 10 provided below the guide wheel 10 in the guide arm 9, and the branch ring 18 is connected to the civil engineering structure of the track at the branching portion of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track. The vehicle 1 is moved straight by being guided by being hooked on a movable guide plate (not shown) on either the movable straight traveling side or the branching side that is provided so as to be able to be taken in and out along the left and right side walls of the bifurcated portion 5. It can be made to run to the side or branch side (for example, refer to patent documents 1).

  In addition, as a vehicle side guide type track, a vehicle side guide type track that has a guide rail on one of the left and right sides, and runs a small vehicle and a large vehicle with a guide device along the guide rail, In the track curve portion having a small radius of curvature that curves to the side of the track linear portion where the guide rail is provided, the inner guide rail that guides the small vehicle inwardly and the outer guide rail that guides the large vehicle outwardly A movable guide rail that is provided independently of each other in the curved portion and connects or separates the guide rail of the straight portion and the inner guide rail at the inlet portion and the outlet portion of the curved portion, and a roller that operates the movable guide rail.

JP 2006-22599 A Japanese Patent Publication No.63-28823

  However, the civil engineering structure 5 of the APM trajectory is often provided as a viaduct in urban areas. When the civil engineering structure 5 of the APM trajectory is provided as a viaduct in this way, the width of the civil engineering structure 5 of the trajectory If it is wide, it will lead to an increase in the weight of the superstructure of the viaduct, and the substructure of the viaduct that supports it will also be enlarged, so the construction cost will increase due to the enlargement of the entire viaduct.

  Further, if the width of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track provided as the viaduct is wide, it leads to a feeling of pressure on the landscape when looking up from the ground, so it is actually not preferable.

  Moreover, in recent years, the APM tends to increase the size of the vehicle 1 in order to increase the number of passengers. When the size of the vehicle 1 is increased in this way, the vehicle 1 is moved by the civil engineering structure 5 on the track. The dimension between the rails which is the space | interval regarding the track 8 width direction of the inner surface (surface which guides the wheel 4 of the vehicle 1) of each guide rail 11 provided in the both right and left sides of this track 8 will also be expanded. Further, when the weight of the vehicle 1 increases, when the guide wheels 10 of the vehicle 1 are brought into rolling contact with the guide rails 11 on the left and right sides of the track 8 to steer the wheels 4 of the vehicle 1, Since the load acting outward from the track 8 side with respect to each guide rail 11 increases, the support structure for supporting each guide rail 11 is made large and strong so as to withstand the load. Need arises. Therefore, the actual situation is that the construction cost is further increased due to an increase in the width of the civil engineering structure 5 on the track.

  Furthermore, if the demand for the width of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track increases due to the installation of the guide rails 11 on the left and right sides of the track 8 in the APM, the applicability of the APM itself may be limited. Is also a concern.

  Furthermore, the distance between the guide rails 11 provided on the left and right sides of the track 8 is set to a required size corresponding to the arrangement of the left and right guide wheels 10 attached to the left and right guide arms 9 of the vehicle 1. In order to adjust and maintain the work, the worker removes and reattaches the mounting bolts and dedicated jigs of the guide rails 11 for each guide rail 11 on both the left and right sides of the track 8. Therefore, in order to obtain high reproducibility of the inter-rail dimensions, it takes a lot of labor and time, and the maintenance cost increases.

  In addition, what was shown by patent document 2 is a vehicle side guide type | formula track | truck for driving | running | working a large vehicle and a small vehicle together, and a guide wall is provided in a track straight part on both right and left sides in order to guide a large vehicle. In the curved portion, an inner guide rail that guides a small vehicle inwardly and an outer guide rail that guides a large vehicle outwardly are independently provided on both sides of the vehicle travel location. Since it is necessary to provide, the structure which narrows an orbital width is not suggested at all.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to reduce the width of the track, thereby reducing the width of the civil structure of the track and constructing the civil structure of the track as a viaduct. It is possible to reduce the construction cost in some cases, to reduce the feeling of pressure on the landscape, to increase the applicability of APM, and to further reduce the number of parts The cost can be reduced, and the distance between the guide rails provided to form a pair for each track can be adjusted, and maintenance work can be saved, reducing maintenance costs. It is intended to provide a guide rail type railway capable of achieving the above.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, corresponding to claim 1, is provided with a guide arm for steering a wheel of the vehicle in a vehicle traveling on a track, and at an end of the guide arm, A pressing guide wheel and a hooking guide wheel are provided rotatably, and the guide rail dedicated to the pressing guide wheel for rolling and contacting the pressing guide wheel of the vehicle, and the hooking guide wheel are hooked. Thus, the guide rail dedicated to the hooking guide wheel for rolling contact is provided on one side of the portion excluding the branch portion of the track.

  In the above configuration, the guide rail dedicated to the guide wheel for pressing and the guide rail dedicated to the hook guide wheel are attached to a common bracket while maintaining a predetermined relative position, and each guide rail is tracked together with the bracket. It is set as the structure which was arrange | positioned on one side.

Therefore, compared with the case where guide rails are provided on both sides of the track, the width required for each track of the vehicle can be reduced, and the width of the civil structure of the track can be reduced.
(2) Therefore, when the track is provided as a viaduct, the weight of the viaduct superstructure can be reduced, so that the viaduct substructure can be made thinner and the viaduct can be reduced. The overall construction cost can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure on the landscape when looking up the track provided as a viaduct from the ground. (3) Furthermore, the effect of suppressing the expansion of the track width can be expected even when the size of the vehicle is increased.
(4) Further, even when the track is provided in the tunnel, an effect of reducing the construction cost by reducing the amount of excavation can be expected.
(5) From the above, the applicability of APM can be increased.
(6) Furthermore, compared with the case where guide rails are installed on both the left and right sides of the track, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
(7) Since the guide rail dedicated to the guide wheel for pressing and the guide rail dedicated to the hook guide wheel are integrated and installed on one side of the track, the horizontal inter-rail dimension of each guide rail is Since the work for adjusting and maintaining can be performed simultaneously on one side of the track with respect to each of the guide rails, the adjustment of the distance between the rails of each of the guide rails, and labor saving of the maintenance work can be achieved. Maintenance costs can be reduced.
(8) By replacing the pressing guide wheel and the hooking guide wheel provided on the vehicle side with ones having different diameters, the pressing guide wheel and the hooking guide wheel, and the corresponding pressing guide provided on the track side, respectively. By adjusting the clearance between the wheel-specific guide rail and the hook guide wheel-specific guide rail, it is possible to adjust the riding comfort of the vehicle to an appropriate riding comfort.

It is a top view which shows the outline | summary of the structure of the trolley | bogie of the vehicle of a guide rail type railroad of FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 and 2 show an embodiment of a guide rail type railway of the present invention, which is as follows.

  That is, the pressing guide wheels having the same size at the outer ends of the respective guide arms 9 for steering the wheels 4 provided on the carriage 3 of the APM vehicle 1 having the same configuration as shown in FIGS. 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 are rotatably mounted at different height positions in the vertical direction.

  Further, in the civil engineering structure 5 of the APM track, the pressing guide wheel 19 is provided on either the left or right side of the track 8 over the entire length of the straight line portion and the curved portion of the track 1 of the vehicle 1 except for the branching portion. And a guide rail 21 dedicated to the guide wheel for pressing that extends along the track 8 at a height position corresponding to the guide wheel, and a guide dedicated to the hook guide wheel that extends along the track 8 at a height position corresponding to the hook guide wheel 20. Among the guide wheels 19 and 20 that are provided with the rails 22 and are attached to the guide arm 9 on either one of the left and right sides of the carriage 3 of the vehicle 1, the pressing guide wheel 19 is the civil engineering structure of the track. 5 is in rolling contact with the guide surface 21a facing the center side of the track 8 in the guide rail 21 dedicated to the guide wheel 21 for pressing, and the hook guide wheel 20 is provided on the civil engineering structure 5 of the track. Dedicated guide rail 22 for wheels While it is in rolling contact with the guide surface 22a facing the outside of the definitive trajectory 8, a configuration in which the vehicle 1 to be able to run at the track 8. As a result, the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel is such that its guide surface 21a is arranged closer to the outside of the track 8 than the pressing guide wheel 19 provided in the vehicle 1, while The guide rail 22 dedicated to the guide wheels is such that the guide surface 22 a is arranged closer to the center of the track 8 than the hook guide wheel 20 provided in the vehicle 1. Therefore, in the vehicle 1, if the traveling position of the vehicle 1 traveling on the track 8 tends to deviate to the side where the guide rails 21 and 22 are installed on the track 8, the pressing attached to the guide arm 9 of the carriage 3. The guide wheel 19 is in rolling contact with the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel, which is arranged closer to the outer side of the track 8 than the pressing guide wheel 19 is. If the traveling position of the vehicle 1 traveling on the track 8 tends to be shifted to the opposite side of the track 8 from the side on which the guide rails 21 and 22 are installed, the guide arm 9 of the carriage 3 of the vehicle 1 will be described. The hook guide wheel 20 provided on the hook is pushed so as to be hooked on the guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheel disposed closer to the center of the track 8 than the hook guide wheel 20 is. It is as rolling contact with Tagged state.

  More specifically, the pressing guide wheel 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 are arranged on the same axis or on the eccentric shaft (in the figure, the arrangement is shown on the same axis). Each of the outer ends is rotatably attached. The pressing guide wheel 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 have the same size, as will be described later, when the APM vehicle 1 is traveling, the pressing guide wheel 19 is dedicated to the pressing guide wheel. Since the guide wheel 21 and the hook guide wheel 20 are almost always in rolling contact with the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheel, there is a large difference in the amount of rotation of the guide wheels 19 and 20. This is to prevent the difference between the durability of the guide wheels 19 and 20 from occurring.

  The guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel uses, for example, an H-section steel in a posture in which each flange is arranged in the vertical direction, and the surface of one flange facing the center side of the track 8 of the H-section steel is A guide surface 21a for guiding the pressing guide wheel 19 is provided.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to allow the vehicle 1 to pass through the civil engineering structure 5 on the APM track, two tracks 8 of the vehicle 1 are provided in the left-right width direction of the civil structure 5 on the track. In a certain configuration, the guide rails 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheels provided for each of the tracks 8 are, for example, only on the side closer to the center of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track than the tracks 8. Is arranged along each track 8 corresponding to the height position of the rail, and the required distance in the longitudinal direction of the other flange of the H-shaped steel as the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel is defined as the civil engineering structure 5 of the track. Are attached to and supported by strut members 23 erected on the track floor 6 near the escape passage and / or worker passage forming member 13 in the center in the width direction.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, an adjustment bolt 24 is interposed between the support member 23 and the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel. By adjusting the mounting position of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel with respect to the fixed adjustment bolt 24 by the adjustment nut 25, the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel 21 is adjusted from the center in the width direction of the track 8. The distance dimension to the guide surface 21a can be set to a dimension corresponding to the distance dimension from the center position of the APM in the width direction of the vehicle 1 to the outer end of the pressing guide wheel 19.

  For example, the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheel is formed by using angle steel with one side portion arranged in the vertical direction and the other side portion arranged in the horizontal direction. A side surface facing the outside of the track 8 at the side portion is a guide surface 22 a for guiding the hook guide wheel 20.

  Furthermore, the guide rails 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheels provided for each track 8 are dedicated to the pressing guide wheels provided only on the side of the track 8 closer to the center of the civil engineering structure 5. The guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel 22 is located at a position closer to the center side of the track 8 than the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 by a dimension corresponding to the diameter of each of the guide wheels 19 and 20. In this way, it is arranged along the track 8 at the above-mentioned predetermined height position, so that a predetermined relative to the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel along the longitudinal direction of the track 8 is obtained. In the state where the position is maintained, the required distance in the longitudinal direction in the horizontal side portion of the angle steel, which is the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel, is provided on the raceway floor 6 with the required width. It is attached to the top surface. As a result, the pressing guide wheel 19 provided at the outer end of the guide arm 9 located near the center of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track in each vehicle 1 through which each of the tracks 8 of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track passes. At the outer end of the guide arm 9 located near the center of the track 8 of the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and near the center of the civil structure 5 of the track in each vehicle 1 The hooking guide wheel 20 provided can be arranged at a position closer to the outer side of the track 8 of the guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel.

  In the above description, since the guide rail 21 dedicated to the guide wheel for pressing is attached to and supported by the column member 23 installed on the track floor 6, the escape passage and / or worker passage forming member 13 is used. No load acts from the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel. Therefore, the evacuation path // worker passage forming member 13 reduces the thickness dimension of the concrete within a range in which the strength capable of supporting the evacuation path // worker passage 14 provided at the upper end portion can be secured. Thus, the column member 23 of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel can be installed as close as possible to the center in the left-right width direction of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track.

  In FIG. 1, for convenience of illustration, the description of the current collector 17 provided on the vehicle 1 side shown in FIG. 7 and the power feeding device 15 provided on the civil engineering structure 5 side of the track is omitted (FIGS. 3 and 4). The same). Other configurations are the same as those shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  When the vehicle 1 of the guide rail type railway of the present invention having the above-described configuration travels on the track 8, when the track 8 is a straight line, the track 8 is provided near the center of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track. Since the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel are also arranged in a straight line, the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the hooking guide wheel The pressing guide wheel 19 attached to the guide arm 9 located on the center side of the track of the vehicle 1 and the hooking guide wheel 20 are in rolling contact with the guide surface 22a of the dedicated guide rail 22, respectively. The wheel 4 of the vehicle 1 is held in the straight direction through the guide arm 9.

  Next, the track 8 is curved in a certain direction, and the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel provided along the track 8 are positioned outside the curve. In the place where the vehicle 1 is to be moved, the pressing guide wheel 19 attached to the guide arm 9 located near the center of the civil engineering structure 5 on the track of the vehicle 1 is provided along the outside of the curve. It comes into rolling contact while being pressed against the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the guide wheel, and this pressing guide wheel 19 is pressed against the guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel outside the curve. Due to the reaction force, the left and right wheels 4 of the carriage 3 of the vehicle 1 are steered through the guide arm 9 in a direction along the curve of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel. Therefore, the vehicle 1 travels while the traveling direction is changed along the curve of the track 8.

  On the other hand, the track 8 is curved in the opposite direction to the above, and the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel provided along the track 8 are inside the curve. In the place where the vehicle is located, the hook guide wheel 20 attached to the guide arm 9 located near the center of the civil engineering structure 5 on the track of the vehicle 1 is provided along the inside of the curve. The rolling guide wheel 20 is brought into rolling contact with the guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the guide wheel 22 so that it can be hooked. The right and left wheels 4 of the carriage 3 of the vehicle 1 via the guide arm 9 are designed to be used exclusively for the hooking guide wheels due to the reaction force when pressed against the guide surface 22a. It is steered in a direction along the curve of the rail 22. Therefore, the vehicle 1 travels while the traveling direction is changed along the curve of the track 8.

  Thus, according to the guide rail type railway of the present invention, when the vehicle 1 travels on each track 8 provided on the track civil structure 5, the track civil structure 5 on one side of the track 8. The traveling direction of the vehicle 1 can be guided by the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel provided near the center of the vehicle. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a guide rail at a location closer to the outer side in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track than the track 8 on the other side of the track 8. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a guide rail installation space at a position closer to the outer side in the width direction of the civil structure 5 of the track than the tracks 8, and the track side wall 12 is close to the track 8 outside. Can be provided.

  Moreover, since the reaction force of the force for guiding the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 does not act on the track side wall 12, the track side wall 12 itself can be made thin.

  As described above, in the guide rail type railway according to the present invention, the width dimension required on the civil engineering structure 5 of the track is necessary for providing the guide rail on one side and its supporting structure for each track 8. Therefore, the width of the civil engineering structure 5 on the track can be reduced.

  Although not shown, according to the verification test results conducted by the present inventors, it is necessary to provide a guide rail on one side and its supporting structure for one track 8 provided on the civil engineering structure 5 of the track. As an effect, it has been confirmed that the width of about 40 cm can be reduced.

  Therefore, in the civil engineering structure 5 of the track provided with the two tracks 8 as shown in FIG. 1, the width dimension obtained for each track 8 as described above is reduced in the entire civil structure 5 of the track. The effect of reducing the width dimension of the civil engineering structure 5 of the track according to the double width dimension of the effect can be obtained.

  For this reason, when the civil engineering structure 5 of the track is provided as a viaduct, the weight of the upper structure can be reduced. Therefore, the lower structure of the viaduct that supports the miniaturized structure is reduced in size and has a thinner structure. It is possible to reduce the construction cost of the entire viaduct.

  Moreover, when providing the civil engineering structure 5 of the above-mentioned track as a viaduct, it becomes possible to reduce the feeling of pressure on the landscape when looking up from the ground.

  Furthermore, even when the size of the vehicle 1 is increased, an effect of suppressing the expansion of the width of the civil engineering structure 5 on the track can be expected.

  Further, when the civil engineering structure 5 of the track is provided in the tunnel, the construction cost can be reduced by reducing the amount of excavation.

  From the above, it becomes possible to increase the applicability of APM.

  Furthermore, in the guide rail type railway of the present invention, the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel provided on each track 8 and the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheel are arranged on the side of each track 8. Since it is installed near the center of the civil engineering structure 5, the guide rails are provided on the left and right sides of each track 8 as in the conventional side guide rail type guide rail type railway shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Compared with the case of installing 11, it is possible to reduce the cost by reducing the number of parts.

  In addition, in the guide rail type railway of the present invention, the horizontal guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel provided on each track 8 and the guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hook guide wheel are arranged in the horizontal direction. When adjusting and maintaining the distance (relative arrangement) between the rails corresponding to the arrangement of the pressing guide wheels 19 and the hooking guide wheels 20 provided in the vehicle 1, the guide rails 21 and 22 described above are used. The civil works of the track as one side of each track 8 in which the guide rails 21 and 22 are provided by a worker (not shown), such as removing and remounting the mounting bolts and the dedicated jig. It becomes possible to carry out at a time near the center of the structure 5. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the distance between the rails of the guide rails 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheels and the guide rails 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheels provided so as to be paired with the tracks 8 and to save labor in maintenance work. Thus, the maintenance cost can be reduced as compared with the conventional side guide rail type guide rail type railway shown in FIGS.

  Further, if the pressing guide wheel 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 provided on the vehicle 1 side are replaced with ones having different diameters, the pressing guide wheel 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 are installed on the track 8 side. The clearance (clearance) between the corresponding guide surface 21a of the guide rail 21 dedicated to the pressing guide wheel and the guide surface 22a of the guide rail 22 dedicated to the hooking guide wheel can be adjusted. By the way, the size of the gap between the guide wheels 19 and 20 and the corresponding guide surfaces 21a and 22a of the corresponding guide rails 21 and 22 is directly related to the amount of rattling related to yawing when the APM vehicle 1 travels. This affects the ride comfort of the vehicle 1. Accordingly, by appropriately changing the diameters of the pressing guide wheel 19 and the hooking guide wheel 20 provided on the vehicle 1 side, the guide surfaces 21a, 21 and 22 of the guide rails corresponding to the guide wheels 19, 20 respectively. 22a can be adjusted so as to provide a suitable ride comfort for the vehicle 1. Therefore, by using the guide wheels 19 and 20 having appropriate diameters, It is possible to adjust the comfort so as to be an appropriate riding comfort.
