Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a single track vehicle device such as a mole rail type golf cart, and particularly provides a plane crossing structure of the single track.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing the apparatus of the present invention, and shows a single track golf cart that runs in one direction on a single track built along a golf course.

In the figure, 1 is a single track installed along the course of a golf course, 2 is a golf cart that runs astride this single track, and the cart 2 is powered by a battery installed in it. I am admonishing that it is a running configuration.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a back holder provided at an angle on the front side of the golf cart 2, 4 a putter case attached to the back holder 3, 5 an umbrella also detachably provided on the back holder 3, and 6, 6 A stopper serving as a shock absorber protrudes from the front of the golf cart 2; 7 is an accessory case provided on the top surface of the golf cart 2; 8 is an operating lever installed approximately perpendicular to the golf cart 2; The golf cart 2 is started and stopped by the operation 8.

Figures 2 and 3 show top views of the main parts of the device of the present invention in different states, and where the single tracks 1 and 11 intersect in plane, the single tracks 1 and 11 are the straddle portions of the cart 2. It is cut slightly larger than the width of the track, making it a discontinuous track, and the track 1, 11 is placed at the intersection of the extension lines of each track 1, 11 of the discontinuous part.
A support 12 having a width of

As is clear from FIG. 4, the height of this support column 12 is set to be the same as the height of each track 1, 11.

13.13' and 14.14' are the single tracks 1 and 1', respectively.
, 11.11' is a connecting track that connects the discontinuous parts as necessary, and 13 of the connecting tracks are the single track 1 and the support 12.
, 13' is between the support 12 and the single track 1', 14 is between the single track 11 and the support 12, and 14' is between the support 12 and the single track 11'. It can be placed.

That is, each of these connecting tracks 13.13', 14.14' has a respective pivot arm 15.15', 16.16' associated therewith in opposite directions;
15', 16.16' are attached to four bevel gears 17.17', 18.18' which are each formed into a square shape, and these bevel gears 17.17', 18.18' are It is connected to an electric motor 21 via a shaft 19 and a reduction gear 20.

Therefore, the driving force from the electric motor 21 is applied to the bevel gears 1 facing each other.
7.17', 18.18' are rotated in opposite directions as shown by the arrows, and the bevel gears 17.17', 18.18
The arms 15.15' and 16.16' attached to the Orbit 1,1
', 11. It is placed between 11' and the support column 12, and is removed.

22... is a confirmation switch provided at the edge of each single track 1, 1', 11.11', and the connecting track 13.13
This is to confirm that ', 14.14' has completed the connection of each single track 1, 1', 11.11'.

23... is a cart detection switch installed just before the intersection of each single track 1, 1', 11, 11', which detects when cart 2 approaches the intersection. It is.

When the golf cart 2 is traveling along the single track 1 and approaches an intersection, the cart detection switch 23 detects the approach of the cart 2 and moves the single track 1 that the cart 2 has arrived at to the intersection. In order to connect to the opposing single track 1', the electric motor 21 is energized and operated, and the reducer 20, shaft 19, bevel gears 18.17°17', 18', and rotating arms 16.15. The second one depends on the function of 15' and 16'.
As shown in the figure and FIG.
, 11.11', and instead connect the connecting tracks 13.13' corresponding to the single tracks 1, 1' on which the cart 2 has traveled between the single tracks 1, 1' and the support 12. Single track 1, 1 that reaches each gap and is discontinuous at the intersection
' are connected by the connecting track 13, 13' and the strut 12.

Whether this connecting track 13.13' has connected the single tracks 1, 1' is checked by means of a confirmation switch 22.22.

Therefore, the golf cart 2 arriving along the single track 1 passes through the intersection connected by the connecting track 13, 13' and the support 12, and crosses over to the opposite single track 1'.

On the other hand, a single track 11.11 perpendicular to these single tracks 1, 1'
When the golf cart 2 arrives at ', as shown in FIG. , instead the single track 11.11' is connected by means of a connecting track 14.14' and a strut, allowing the cart 2 to pass through the intersection.

In general, it is considered difficult to cross at grade on single tracks, so grade-separated crossings were often used, but grade-separated crossings were large-scale, expensive, and had the disadvantage of damaging the scenery.

In contrast, in the present invention, each single track at the intersection is cut wider than the width of the straddle portion of the vehicle to make it discontinuous, and a pair of connecting tracks are provided to each single track to connect the discontinuous parts of each track. They are provided in correspondence, and each connected track is configured to connect its corresponding single track with a single drive source, while the other one maintains its corresponding single track in a discontinuous state. Although it has a simple configuration, it is possible to realize a single-track plane crossing that operates safely and reliably.
A low-cost single track device can be obtained without damaging the beauty of a golf course or the like.
