Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air brake applied to braking of a traveling body such as a high-speed rail car, a high-speed boat, and an automobile. 2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an example of an air brake as a conventional braking device for a high-speed traveling vehicle. A projecting wall 03 is installed on the vehicle ceiling 02 of the leading vehicle 01, and the projecting wall 03 protrudes like a sail at the time of braking, and is designed to increase the braking force by increasing aerodynamic resistance. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 , there is a vehicle in which protruding walls 03, 03 'which can protrude outside the vehicle body are provided before and after the vehicle 01. [0004] In the above-mentioned conventional air brake, a braking force is obtained by increasing the air resistance by protruding the protruding wall. It is a value proportional to 2 × (projected wall area). However, due to the boundary layer generated on the ceiling of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 6 , the flow velocity V on the front surface of the projecting wall is much slower than the vehicle traveling speed, and it is inevitable that the braking force becomes smaller. In particular, the boundary layer of the vehicle ceiling grows thicker in the rear vehicle. [0005] Further, when the protruding wall is projected forward and backward of the vehicle as in the conventional air brake shown in Fig. 5 , the rear protruding wall is buried under a thicker boundary layer. Thus, it is inevitable that the flow velocity V on the front surface of the projecting wall is further reduced, and the braking force is significantly reduced. Further, in the conventional air brake,
As shown in FIG. 4 , the airflow on the surface of the vehicle flows along both sides of the vehicle so as to avoid the protruding wall as shown by an arrow 041, or directly bypasses the protruding wall as shown by an arrow 042. As a result, the flow velocity in front of the projecting wall is considerably smaller than the traveling speed of the vehicle, and there is a problem that a sufficient braking force cannot be obtained. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to provide an air brake for a traveling body capable of obtaining a braking force having a sufficient magnitude. [0008] The air brake of the traveling body according to the present invention employs the following means. That is, retractable to the outside of the vehicle body is attached to the vehicle body in the connecting portion the upper portion of the traveling body having a plurality of vehicle body which are connected to each other by a connecting portion variable
Moving part and a fixed vane extending downward on the downstream side of the moving part.
All air guide vanes, and the clearance of the connection portion having
There are, you comprising the air flow path downwardly a substantially right angle to the running direction of the running body is formed between the body and the fixed vanes. [0009] [act] Oite the present onset Ming, when projecting the moving part <br/> guide vanes to the outside of the vehicle body of the traveling body, the airflow guide vanes
It is guided by the movable portion of the movable out of the guide vanes
Between the stationary vane and the vehicle body
Made is running direction and enters into substantially without vertical air flow path that downward flows downward substantially perpendicularly to the running direction of the air flow path. Due to the change of the momentum in the curved path of the airflow, the traveling body is subjected to an aerodynamic force acting in the direction opposite to the traveling direction to perform braking. In addition, the airflow guided by the guide vanes is guided by a gap in the connecting portion of the vehicle body.
Since the air flows downward in the gap between the fixed vanes and the vehicle body, the boundary layer of the air flow along the upper part of the vehicle body becomes thin, and the braking force is reduced even when the guide vanes are provided at multiple connecting parts. Problems can be suppressed and the braking force increases. Further, when no need of braking, by Shisabotsu the guide vanes, it is not a name that air resistance by the guide vanes occurs. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment relates to an air brake applied to a plurality of connected trains, and uses a gap at a connection between vehicles A and B as a flow path, and guide vanes 1 above the gap.
A and 1B are provided. [0012] The respective guide vane 1A, 1B, the rotary shaft 1-3 and the movable flat plate 1-1 which is mounted so that it can rotate on the rotation shaft 1-3 fixed to the vehicle body in the upper portion of the gap of the connecting portion Fixed vane 1-2 fixed downward and extending downward
And a space is provided between the fixed vane 1-2 and the vehicle body A or B to form the flow path 1-5.
The movable flat plate 1-1 of one guide vane 1A extends from the rotating shaft 1-3 toward one vehicle A, and the movable flat plate 1-1 of the other guide vane 1B extends from the rotating shaft 1-3 to the other vehicle. B, the movable plate 1-1 and the vehicle body A or B
The movable flat plate 1-1 can be raised and lowered on the roof of the vehicle body A or B by the hydraulic cylinder 1-4 provided between the movable body 1-1 and the roof. In FIG. 1, the guide vanes 1A of the vehicle A are operated when a braking force is applied when the vehicle travels in the W direction. The movable flat plate 1-1 rotates around a rotation shaft 1-3 fixed to the vehicle body by a hydraulic cylinder 1-4, and opens obliquely as shown in FIG. Thereby, the flow path 1-5 is formed, and the flow of air is
-1 and guided by the fixed vane 1-2, and flows downward at right angles to the traveling direction as shown by the arrow X. At this time, the guide vane 1B of the vehicle B does not operate, and the movable flat plate is set to be prone on the roof. FIG. 2 shows a case in which the vehicle runs in the direction E opposite to that in FIG. 1. In this case, the vane 1B of the vehicle B is operated and the vane 1A of the vehicle A is not operated. [0015] In this embodiment, as described above, the guide vane 1A, and guide the air flow by the movable flat plate 1-1 of 1B, the guide vanes 1A in the gap of the coupling part, 1B
Channel 1 formed between the fixed vane 1-2 and the vehicle body
As shown in FIG. 3, the momentum of the air flow changes by guiding the vehicle to -5 and flowing downward at right angles to the vehicle traveling direction.
A force F as shown in FIG. Horizontal component F X of the force F becomes to act as a braking force, it is possible to obtain a large braking force. Also, guide vanes 1A, 1B
Airflow gap smell of the connecting portion of the vehicle which is guided by
Since the air flows downward between the fixed vane 1-2 and the vehicle body, the boundary layer of the airflow along the roof of the vehicle becomes thinner,
Even when the guide vanes 1A and 1B are provided in a plurality of connecting portions, the problem of reduction in braking force can be suppressed, and the braking force increases. When no braking force is required, the air resistance of the vehicles A and B can be reduced by lowering the guide vanes 1A and 1B on the roofs of the vehicles A and B.
You. [0017] As described above, the present invention relates to claim 1.
, A large braking force can be obtained by utilizing the airflow generated by the traveling of the traveling body, and the air resistance of the traveling body can be reduced when the braking force is not required. .
