DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a single rail transporter, and more particularly to a branch portion of a rail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional example of a track branching device in a conventional single-rail conveyor has been found in Japanese Utility Model Application No. Sho 62-1226026 (Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. Sho 64-30770). In many of the precedents, a so-called single rail, a main line composed of one rail is branched into a plurality of branch lines. Forking a single rail does not require complicated structures,
Although the purpose is achieved by the configuration as in the prior application, when two corresponding rails are branched in parallel, an intersecting portion always occurs, and there is a problem in using the configuration of the prior application as it is. there were. The characteristics of a single rail transporter are:
It was possible to lay rails with a width of about 1 m in steep mountainous areas, and it was not possible to separate large areas and heavy equipment at the branch. In addition, the rail of the single rail transporter is configured to support the main rail from one side with pillars and hold it at a predetermined height above the ground, from the side opposite to the side where the pillars are provided, to sandwich the rail from above and below with rollers and run It cannot be crossed with a small gap through which the wheel flange passes between each other, such as the intersection of rails in a railway using only the top surface. In addition, the present application is a rail of a single rail transport machine, but for running posture stability,
In addition, since the rail is provided with an auxiliary rail attached to one side of the main rail for dispersing the load, the auxiliary rail becomes an obstacle when the main rail alone is movable, so that it must be movable together.

Accordingly, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-92903, the movable curve rail is turned back and forth, and the rail support column is moved to select the right direction rail or the left direction rail. At the same time, the auxiliary rail was removed. In addition, the movable curved rail moves the rail support column vertically by a hydraulic manual pump and a hydraulic cylinder. In order to move the movable rail, a power generation device is required, which has been an economical problem of the equipment and the switching time has been required. In addition, the size of the frame, etc., due to the accuracy of the branch part becomes large and heavy,
Transporting and laying in the mountains was difficult. Therefore, a simple manual branching device has been desired.

[0004]

The present invention has a structure which can be manually switched manually. A movable rail is provided at the beginning of a bifurcated rail in two or three directions so as to be rotatable left and right, and one end of the movable rail is provided. Are selectively engaged with the rail end.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the embodiments of the present invention, first, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the rail of the present application is a main pillar in which a main rail 1 provided with a rack 12 on the lower surface of a square pipe 11 is driven into the soil. 13 is attached to the main rail 1 via a supporting bracket 14, and an auxiliary rail 2 composed of a flat bar is attached to the right side of the main rail 1 by a distance L from the supporting bracket 14.
At a predetermined interval by a mold connecting body 21, they are laid in parallel at different levels so as to be below the main rail 1.

The main rail 1 and the auxiliary rail 2 can be diverged to the right in FIG. 1, to the left in FIG. 8, or to the right and left in FIG. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a branch structure in which a branch rail is provided on the right side of a straight main rail.
Movable rails 7, 8 for bridging between the rail 4 and the right end rail 5 and the starting end of the straight rail 1 are arranged so that they can be selectively switched by turning left and right.

FIG. 8 is a plan view of a branch structure in which a branch rail is provided on the left side of a straight main rail.
The movable rails 8, 9 for bridging between the single wire end 4 and the left rail 6 and the starting end of the straight rail 1 are arranged so that they can be selectively switched by turning left and right.

FIG. 10 is a plan view of a branch structure in which branch rails are provided on the left and right sides of the straight main rail, and the main rail is shown.
The movable rails 7, 8, and 9 that bridge between the single wire end 4 and the starting ends of the right-hand rail 5, the center rail 1, and the left-hand rail 6 are arranged, and can be selected and switched by turning left and right. It was done.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a support structure of the linear movable rail 8, which has the same structure as the movable rails 7, 9 on the rightward rail 5 or the leftward rail 6 side of the branch rail.
The base end fitting 81 is superimposed on the starting end fitting 15 at the starting end with the shaft 10,
A short rail 82 is fitted to the distal end of the base end fitting 81 and fixed by a shaft 83. An inverted L-shaped auxiliary support column 84 is attached to an extension of the shaft 83, and a bearing 85 is provided at the lower end of the auxiliary support column 84 below the axis of the shaft 10 to support the starting end fitting 15.
An adjusting bracket 86 is pivotally mounted on the lower side surface, the bearing 85 is received at the tip of the adjusting bracket 86, and is rotatable by a shaft 87, and the movable rail 8 is rotated by a bolt 88 at the end of the adjusting bracket 86.
The tip fitting 89 can be adjusted up and down to facilitate the overlap with the single wire end 4. Since the auxiliary support columns 84 are provided and supported at two upper and lower positions, the auxiliary support columns 84 can be rotated with a small force, and a smooth movement switching operation can be performed.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 1, showing a state where the movable rail 8 (the same as the other movable rails 7, 9) is engaged with the single wire end 4, and the drive wheels passing through the rail. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the engaging portion. The engagement part is
A plate 90 is protruded from the tip fitting 89 toward the column 41, and the movable rail 8 side having the engaging pin 91 provided on the plate 90 overlaps the plate 42 from the column 41 so as to overlap with the plate 90.
, And a hole 43 is provided on the lower surface of the engagement pin 91 to enable engagement.

In the method for switching the movement of the movable rail, the engagement is released by pulling the engaging pin 91 upward, and the movable rail can be turned left or right to open the rail track. Then, if the other movable rail is turned left or right and overlaps with the single wire end 4 and the engaging pin 91 is engaged with the hole 43 of the plate 42 at a position where the rail track is closed, the movable rail is fixed at that position. The switching operation can be performed by one-touch operation.

[0012]

Since the present invention does not use a conventional hydraulic pressure generating device, there is no economic burden on the equipment. In addition, the switching work also requires the time to move the pump and the time to replace the auxiliary rail, etc. in the common type movable rail that raises the movable rail once with a manual pump, reverses and switches, but the thing of this application is If the user moves the main rail, the auxiliary rail rotates and the switching operation can be performed by one-touch operation. Further, the turning operation can be easily performed.
