The applicant of this patent has previously applied for a patent for the ``Automobile Group Train Transportation System'' (Japanese Patent Application No. 112541/1983 (Japanese Patent Application No. 57-37).
058)), a ground feeding device comprising magnetic belt conveyor units whose magnetic belts have different revolving speeds and magnetic belt conveyor units whose magnetic belts have the same revolving speed are extended according to speed patterns; The trolley is equipped with a magnet that attracts or attracts the magnetic belt of the unit, is supported by supporting wheels on a separately provided running path, and is capable of decelerating or synchronously traveling by sliding due to dynamic friction generated by the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic belt. A plurality of connected bogies are provided, and apart from the above, a group train of automobiles is formed on a running path provided on both sides of the connected bogies, and the group train of automobiles is transported by rotation of the magnetic belt conveyor unit. A system of car group train transportation.

I made a suggestion.

However, in such a transportation method, the details of the structure of the running path, which is equipped with rails for supporting and guiding the load of the connecting cart and supporting the load of the automobile being towed, have not yet been proposed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned situation, and provides a prefabricated running track structure that is most suitable for the above-mentioned automobile group train transportation system.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as follows.

FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 are a front view, a plan view, and a side view, respectively, of a running path according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is the running road girder, and on one side of the wall there are support and guide wheels that support and guide the load of the connected bogies, or support wheels and guide wheels that separate these functions, respectively, and can be moved freely. The running track girder 1 itself has a suitable cross-sectional shape, for example, in the illustrated example, a hollow rectangular cross-sectional shape.

This running girder 1 is attached to the cross beam portion 4 of the support column 3 so that the respective connecting bogie support guide girders 2 face each other at appropriate intervals.

A magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 is inserted into the vertically penetrating gap between the running road girders 1, and both running road girders 1
A one-lane running road is constructed by a set of two running road girders 1, which are attached to the inner wall of the road and the cross beam part 4 of the support column and arranged in parallel.

If two or more lanes are required, the desired number of one-lane running paths described above may be arranged in parallel, or as shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a girder 2 is provided.

If we look at the dotted line 1a as a boundary line in the figure, we can see that
It becomes a two-lane running road where two lane running roads are simply installed in parallel.

The shape and dimensions of a one-lane running road, especially the width W of the running road girder 1.
1 may be designed according to the locus of the supporting wheels 61 of the automobile 6 to be towed, and when an n-lane traveling road is constructed by providing n rows of one-lane traveling roads in parallel, or as shown in FIG. As shown in , the connecting bogie support guide girder 2
When the intermediate running road girder is installed on both sides of the running road girder 1, the width W2 of the running road girder 1 is equal to the trajectory of the four vehicles traveling on each running road in addition to the wheels mentioned above. must also be taken into account when setting.

The height H of the running road girder 1 may be set to a height that allows the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 to be mounted in the gap between the two rows of running road girders 1.

Here, the detailed structure of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 is shown in FIGS. 5 to 8.

In addition, FIG. 5 is a plan view of the magnetic belt conveyor unit.
6 is a side view of the same unit, FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of section A in FIG. 5, and FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of section B in FIG. 6.

A driving wheel 51 is provided at one end and a driven wheel 52 is provided at the other end at a predetermined interval, and a magnetic belt 53 is endlessly wound around the driving wheel 51 and the driven wheel 52.

This magnetic belt 53 is formed by arranging bar-shaped magnetic materials (generally soft magnetic materials) 54 in a centipede shape, connecting them with a copper core 55, and molding them with an elastomer 56 such as rubber to form a ring shape.

The rotating shaft of the drive wheel 51 is connected to the electric motor 5B via a suitable transmission mechanism 57.

Figures 9 to 12 show the running road girder 1 shown in Figure 1, respectively.
, is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an example of the relative positions of the connecting carriage support guide girder 2, the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5, and the carriage 7. FIG.

FIG. 13 is a side view of a connecting truck constructed by connecting the trucks 7 shown in FIG. 9. FIG.

FIG. 14 is a side view of a connected truck constructed by connecting the trucks 7 shown in FIG. 11 similarly.

In addition, in the figure, 71 is a car towing frame for connecting the bogie 7 and the car 6 (not shown) and towing the car; 72 is a bogie support guide wheel for supporting and guiding the load of the bogie 7;
3 is a magnet that attracts the magnetic belt 53 of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 and moves the cart 7 in synchronization with the rotation of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5; and 74 connects the carts 7 to each other to form a connected cart. It is a connected culm.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 12, the support guide wheel 72 also serves as a support and guide, but in the example shown in FIG. The support wheels 75 and the truck guide wheels 76 perform their respective functions.

Reference numeral 77 in FIG. 12 is a guide wheel for preventing overturning, which prevents the cart 7 from overturning in the width direction.

In either example, each truck 7 is connected by a connecting culm 74 to form a connected truck with a length of about 200 to 400 m,
Each car is engaged with the car towing frame 71 of each bogie 7, forming a car group train.

Since the magnet 73 of the truck 7 is attracted to the magnetic belt 53 of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5, the connecting truck 7 is attached to the magnetic belt 53 of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5.
It will move in synchronization with the circular motion of step 3.

Since each car is supported and restrained by the connected bogies, the car group train also runs in synchronization with the circular movement of the magnetic belt 53.

As is clear from the above description of the configuration, by arranging different running road girders 1 at predetermined intervals, a vertically penetrating gap is formed in the center along both running road girders 1,
A magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 is installed in this gap.

Therefore, in order to install the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 after inserting it from below this gap, it is necessary to set the height of the support column 3 to a certain value or more considering the height of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5. good.

The spacing between the support columns 3 is practically about 20 m, except for specific sections, and one set of magnetic belt conveyor units 5 with an interaxle length of about 5 to 10 m is arranged between them.

The connected truck/car group pulled by this is several hundreds of meters long, and if the magnetic attraction force between the magnet 73 of the connected truck and the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 to which it attracts is designed appropriately, the magnetic belt conveyor unit Even if several 5's are deleted, the desired traction force can be easily obtained.

For this reason, the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 can be easily removed or attached from below using the above-mentioned gap while the connected carriage is running.

However, in some cases, it may be necessary for the car group train to run on its own.

However, in any case, the magnetic belt conveyor 5 can be removed or installed without interfering with the transportation of the motor vehicle group train.

Furthermore, by configuring both running road girders 1 to be bilaterally symmetrical, it is possible to standardize the running road girder 1 into several types of dimensions depending on whether it is for a straight road, a slope road, or a curved road.

When a hollow running road girder 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is used, the hollow portion can also be used as an evacuation road in the event of an accident.

In this case, an exit (not shown) is provided on the ceiling or bottom of the cavity of the running road girder 1 between the support columns 3, which is closed at all times and can be opened manually in an emergency, and which can be accessed by a ladder or the like to the ground side.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, one end of the magnetic belt conveyor unit 5 with the transmission mechanism 57, electric motor 58, etc. is generally placed on the crossbeam portion 4 of the support column to support the weight. If the speed change mechanism 57, electric motor 58, etc. are installed in the cavity, the cavity becomes a substantially closed room, so that problems caused by the influence of the outside world can be reduced.

Since a one-way vehicle group travels while being towed by a connected bogie, the traveling road girder 1 not only supports the entire load of the vehicle group, but also has adhesive force between it and the vehicle support wheels, as in the case of self-propelled vehicles using an engine. does not require.

It is sufficient that the adhesive force, that is, the friction, is sufficient to prevent slipping when the vehicle is being towed and the wheels roll mechanically.

Therefore, in order to reduce the required traction force, it is desirable that at least the rolling portion of the support wheels of the roadway girder 1 be made of smooth metal so as to reduce friction.

Further, since the power supply voltage for automobiles is about several tens of volts, the metal running path can also be used as a power supply circuit for heating, cooling, and lighting of automobiles.

Since one set of running path girders 1 are placed opposite each other at a fixed interval, appropriate insulation is provided between them, and one metal running path is used as a current forwarding path and the other metal running path is used as a current return path as a feeding circuit. Can be used.

In this case, it is necessary to provide an appropriate current collection mechanism (not shown) on the vehicle side or on the ground side.

In addition to the methods described above, the following methods can be cited as methods for supplying an automobile power source of several tens of volts to an automobile.

A metal member is used for the connecting bogie support guide girder 2, a conductive metal material such as steel is used for the supporting guide wheel 72 of the connecting bogie, and an appropriate current circuit is provided in each bogie 7, the car traction rod 71, and the car side. Electric power can also be supplied to the automobile via the automobile traction rod, with one support guide girder 2 serving as the current forward path and the other support guide girder 2 serving as the current return path.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 11, the support wheel 75 or the guide wheel 76
A steel one should be used.

As is clear from the above description, the prefabricated vehicle group train running track according to the present invention has various advantages and can be said to be extremely useful in practice.
