Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily release the brake of an emergency-stop vehicle and carry out rescue by providing a connecting plug having a command circuit which is connected to the operating circuit of a deadman brake on the end portion of a head vehicle and enabling this connecting plug to be connected to the connecting plug of other vehicles. CONSTITUTION:In a singly-operated monorail vehicle, if an operator gets into abnormality to lose his hold of a deadman switch 3, the switch 3 is turned off. Thereupon a deadman relay 4 is released opening the relay contact 5 thereof to cut off electrification to a command circuit 6 and, therefore, a deadman-brake solenoid valve 9 is demagnetized operating a deadman brake. In this case, the rescue connection jumper plug 8 of a rescue train 2 is connected to each rescue connection plug receiver 7 provided on both of a stopped train 1 which has stopped due to the occurrence of abnormality and the rescue train 2. The deadman command circuit 6 of the stopped train 1 is controlled by the deadman command circuit 6 of the rescue train 2 to release the brake thereof.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rescue crossing device for a monorail vehicle, and particularly to a rescue crossing device for a monorail vehicle suitable for a monorail vehicle operated by one person.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in railway vehicles or monorail vehicles, the leading car of a fixed formation has not been provided with anything equivalent to a transition device between the formation cars, but has only been provided with a coupling device for towing the train. This coupling device consists mainly of a coupler, which is a mechanical coupling member that has the strength to simply tow the train.

The song also uses a compressed air circuit, which is often used in vehicles. These considerations include cases in which the train in which the accident occurred is towed by other trains, or to be towed by a special vehicle when moving within a depot.

Note that related HltlL of this type includes, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 15342/1983.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take into account trains such as monorail vehicles that run on elevated roads and have one person on board, and this poses problems when carrying out rescue operations. In other words, in the conventional two-man crew (driver and conductor), if a train breaks down and stops on the route, another train is connected, and the crew members of the faulty train and the healthy train can mutually communicate with each train. Should the passenger be transported by opening the through-door and transferring passengers in the safest row?

Alternatively, the vehicle control of the faulty train is released and the healthy train is towed (or backed) to the next station.

In addition, in the event that the driver malfunctions and the train stops on the track due to the dead man brake being activated, the train is sound and a replacement driver is placed on the rescue train to connect the train and the train is brought to a halt. The conductor of the train and the crew of the relief train can mutually open the through door of each train, transfer a substitute driver to the stopped train, and open the deadman brake to allow the train to continue operating.

However, in cell rail vehicles with one person on board,
If a train breaks down and stops on the route, the driver can open the through-door between the train and the rescue train as described above to provide relief, but if the driver is in trouble, other Because there are no crew members, even if a relief train brings in a replacement driver, there will be no one to open the through door of a stopped train on the route, and passengers will not be able to board the stopped train.

Furthermore, because the monorail runs on a fixed track, it is not possible for regular train dispatchers to get off the track and open the extension door on the side of the crew cabin from the outside. therefore,
If a one-man crew is on duty and there is an abnormality in the operating pressure, a rescue train will be connected and the train will be towed to the next station, but in this case the deadman brake is working and the train will continue to be towed. There was a problem that it could not be towed.

The object of the present invention is to provide a rescue crossing device for a monorail vehicle, which makes it possible to easily rescue a train that has stopped on the track due to the operation of the deadman brake due to an abnormality caused by the driver when one person is on board. It is about providing.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose was achieved by providing a connecting plug with a command circuit connected to the operation circuit of the dead man brake at the end of the leading car, and making it possible to connect to the connecting plug of another vehicle via a connecting jumper plug. 4 will be completed.

[For production]

Since the bait connection plug is installed so that it can be connected to the connecting jumper plug of another vehicle, even if the dead man brake of the accident train is operating, the dead man brake can be connected to the dead man brake from the rescue train via the connecting jumper plug. Since it can be released, the accident train can be easily towed or backed up by a rescue train.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In the figure, during normal driving.

The driver operates the train by constantly holding a train control switch 3 provided on the train handle. By squeezing this dead man switch 3, the switch 3 is turned on, the dead man relay 4 is energized, and its relay contact 5 is closed. As a result, the dead man command circuit line 6 is energized and the dead man brake solenoid valve 9 is constantly energized. Dettman brake solenoid valve 9 is OFF
A command solenoid valve is used, and no brake command operation is performed while it is energized.

When an abnormality occurs to the driver during driving operation and the driver releases the deadman switch 3, the switch 3 opens, the deadman relay 4 is released, and its relay contact 5 is opened, cutting off the power to the deadman command circuit 6. dripping Therefore, the dead man brake solenoid valve 9 is demagnetized and a brake command operation is performed. The dead man brake operates as shown in step 2.

Here, a relief connecting tap holder 7 is provided at the *end of the leading car (or trailing car) of each train, and the deadman command circuit 6 is connected to this relief connecting tap holder 7. In addition, a rescue connection jumper plug 8 is always kept in the lead car of each train (.

In such a configuration, when the rescue train 2 rescues a stopped train 1 that has stopped on the route due to the driver's abnormality and the deadman brake is activated, first, the connection 1110 provided on each train 1.2 is Connect.

Next, the relief connecting jumper plugs 8 that are always provided in the relief train 2 are taken out and connected to the relief connecting jumper plugs 7 provided in the stopped train 1 and the relief train 2, respectively. As a result, the deadman command circuit Q6 of the stopped train 1 and the rescue train 2 are connected, and the deadman command circuit 66 of the stopped train $1 is controlled by the deadman command circuit 6 of the rescue train 2.
The closed man brake can be released. therefore.

Towing by the relief train 2 becomes possible. Also.

When a brake command is issued from the rescue train 2 in an emergency, the brakes are applied to the stopped rescue train 1 as well, so it is safe.

Furthermore, as another embodiment, in order to guide passengers on the stopped train 1, not only the debt man command circuit but also the in-car public announcement circuit can be connected simultaneously as a minimum necessary function.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a monorail vehicle with one person on board, a train that has stopped on the route due to an abnormality of the driver can be easily towed by a rescue train and rescued.
