Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present inventor relates to a variable speed continuous transport path suitable as a moving walkway including acceleration/deceleration sections. A conventionally known moving walkway is a moving walkway where a person walking on a stopped road surface can get on and off the road. Most of them use belt conveyors that move at a constant speed. In this case, K, which increases the transportation volume per unit time (hereinafter referred to as transportation capacity) without increasing the installation area, will not be achieved unless the speed of the constant-speed belt conveyor is increased, but pedestrians can get on and off the vehicle. Because there is a limit to the speed difference, it is not possible to increase the speed of this belt conveyor beyond a certain level, which limits the ability to improve transportation capacity.

This invention has a simple configuration that can maintain a low speed for pedestrians and passengers to easily get on and off in the boarding and alighting sections, and increase the overall average speed by including a series of acceleration and deceleration sections. ■The goal is to provide a continuous transportation route with the highest possible speed.

That is, in the variable speed continuous transport path of the present invention, a plurality of non-magnetic horse pedestals having support wheels near their tips are arranged in a line so that their tail ends overlap with the adjacent pedestals 0, 1, 1, 1, and 1, and transfer guidance is provided by the support wheels. A series of continuous transportation roads are formed on the top surface of the pedestals by the rails arranged on the annular rail so that the pedestals are connected by a link having a bending node in the center, and by bending and stretching the link. The spacing between the pedestals is changed, and a guide ring is attached to the bent joint, and a translation guide wheel is attached to the award rail so as to draw a desired height difference pattern t with respect to the award rail. When guided, the pedestal interval pattern corresponding to the height difference pattern is varied by bending and stretching of the link, and a constant speed magnetic belt conveyor (22) is arranged in the section where the height difference is constant. At the same time, the pedestal is equipped with a magnetic suction device that follows the circular movement of the magnetic belt of the conveyor unit using magnetic suction force.

It is characterized by being expressed as In the variable speed continuous transport route of the present invention having such characteristics, in the section where the height difference is large, the intervals between each pedestal are increased by 1iar, and the pedestals move at a low speed,
In the section where the difference in height gradually decreases, the distance between each pedestal gradually increases and the pedestal is accelerated, and in the section where the difference in height is the smallest, the distance between the pedestals increases to the maximum and each pedestal moves at the highest speed, and the difference in height increases further. In the gradually increasing section, contrary to the acceleration section described above, the distance between each pedestal is gradually narrowed and the pedestal line is decelerated.1 In this case, the pedestal is driven by a constant speed magnetic belt conveyor unit in an arbitrary section of constant speed. This is achieved by the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic belt and the magnetic attraction device on the pedestal.
4. The implementation of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway plan view showing the overall configuration of the apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing the schematic configuration of the main parts, and FIG. This is a front view showing the specific configuration of the f'll tube, in which (1) is the pedestal;
By arranging a plurality of these pedestals (1) in a ring shape, the upper surface of the pedestals (1) forms a series of connected transportation road surfaces. The pedestal (1) is a rectangular flat plate made of non-magnetic material to prevent mutual attraction due to residual magnetism or magnetization. As shown in Figure 2, the supporting wheels (2) are arranged so as to overlap the leading end of the adjacent pedestal.
Between each pedestal, which is freely removable on the K-YopIl-shaped rail (3), there is a link (5) with a bending node (4) in the center.
), and by bending and stretching this link (5), the distance between the pedestals changes as shown in Figure 2. In this case, the K link length and the pedestal length are determined so that even when the links (5) extend and are in the straight shape 11, the same overlap between adjacent members is maintained. (6) is a good guide wheel attached to each bent joint (4), and this guide wheel (6) is attached to the annular rail (
3) It is guided by a guide rail (7) K laid down by K, and in Fig. 6, this guide rail (7) is I-shaped.
It goes without saying that a K-groove rail may also be used instead. This guide rail (7) is
As shown in the island 28i1, it is laid so as to form a desired O height difference pattern below the Kll-shaped rail (3),
By guiding the guide wheel (6), the link (5)
This forcefully changes the bending and stretching of the ground according to the height difference. In other words, in areas where the height difference is large, the pedestal spacing will not be narrow, as shown on the left side of the 1IEZ diagram, but as the height difference becomes smaller overall, the pedestal spacing will gradually widen, and in the area where the height difference is the smallest. Now, as shown on the right side of Figure 2, the pedestal spacing is widened to the maximum, and in this way, the pedestal spacing pattern corresponding to the height difference pattern is forcibly given to the bending and stretching of the link (5). There is. In Fig. 1, the self-track sections (CI) at both ends are the sections that provide the minimum pedestal spacing in the left part of Fig. 2, Ii! The middle section of the first part (M
(1m) (B4) is a section where the pedestal spacing gradually carbonizes in the middle part of the IR2 diagram.The pedestal rows arranged as described above are driven using magnetic attraction, that is, the section (mug) 1) (A3)
In at least 1lIts of a section where the pedestal spacing or height difference is constant, and in between, a magnetic belt conveyor unit (8) that rotates at a constant speed faces the magnetic belt (9) directly below the row of pedestals. A magnetic attraction device (G) that magnetically attracts the magnetic belt (9) is placed between the wheels (2) of each pedestal (1) by a suspension 0η, and the magnetic attraction device (G) is placed in the belt conveyor unit portion. The pedestal (13 is a magnetic bell) is moved to follow (i) K due to the magnetic attraction between the ring and the magnetic belt (9). The magnetic belt (9) and the magnetic attraction device (2) are made of a magnetic material, one of which is a magnet and the other is magnetically attracted to it.

For example, the magnetic belt (9) may be made of a magnetic material such as steel (1), the magnetic attraction device oQt-electromagnet (in this case, a feeding line and a current collector will be attached to supply power to each pedestal), or conversely, It is possible to select various combinations in which the belt (9) is a magnet and the magnetic attraction device is a magnetic body. In addition, if the magnetic belt (9) is made of a magnet, the magnetic belt conveyor (to) the conveyor unit (
Instead of 8), it is placed directly under the center of the guide rail (7), and instead of the magnetic attraction device, the guide wheel mounting block (2) of the bending section (4) is magnetically attracted to the magnetic belt conveyor to drive the pedestal. The hitting force may be transmitted via the link (5).

The magnetic belt conveyor unit (8) described above is provided only in sections (As) (Ax) K in the example shown in Fig. wJ1.

It may be arranged at a section where the height difference is constant. Section (AI) in the 11th O (Magnetic belt conveyor unit in A2) (8) C) Pedestal (1) at the rotation speed
is driven by this unit by pulling or pushing, and is moved clockwise in the drawing. Section (Bt)
In (Bs), the pedestal is the pedestal (1
), it is decelerated while gradually narrowing the pedestal spacing by gradually increasing the height difference, and in section (C1) (at C, the minimum pedestal spacing is reached and it moves at the lowest constant speed, and in section CB and CB
In 4), due to the traction of the section (AS) (m8), it is accelerated while gradually increasing the distance between the pedestals due to the gradual decrease in its height difference, thus creating a series of circular shapes consisting of a low-speed section and a high-speed section with an acceleration/deceleration section in between. A continuous transport route has been formed. In this case, the first
In the figure, for example, the output side low constant velocity straight line part of the section (CB) (Cx) is set to the multiplication factor (EN), and the section (cl) (C2)
Let the low constant velocity straight section on the entry side be the descending slope (EX) and %ftaft

If (At) - + (Bt) is used for the return trip, a moving walkway of 1' round trip can be constructed with one circular line, and only 4 variable speeds [Since it is a twin, the average speed can be increased, and the moving speed can be increased. This greatly contributes to the increase.

As described above, according to the present invention, in the pedestrian section such as the above-mentioned J) Exit EN or Kamishiro EX, the speed is kept low enough to allow the pedestrian to safely transfer to Kishima,
It is possible to construct a continuous transport route that smoothly varies speed by including an acceleration section, a high speed section, and a deceleration section along the way, and it is possible to achieve an increase in the overall average speed, and even with a 4 system configuration, complicated speed control l1iqPW! Since the drive source can be a constant-speed station drive device without the need for tlI, great advantages can be obtained in terms of equipment and maintenance.
