Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sidewall guide branching device used in a track of a magnetic continuous transportation system (CTM) or a so-called new transportation system.

Conventionally, there are floating and sinking type or traverse type branching devices of this type, but both have the disadvantage of being complicated in structure and large in size.

The present invention was invented in view of the above situation, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and compact guide rail type branching device.

In order to achieve the above object, the branching load according to the present invention includes a set of branching guide rails and a set of noses provided at the tips of the rails.

One end of the branching guide rail is connected to a rotating shaft provided at a point where the side wall guide rail of the main line and the guide rail of the side line intersect at an acute angle. Therefore, the branching guide rail is
Rotates by any angle by rotating the rotation axis.

The nose is shorter than the branching guide rail, has a triangular planar shape, and is rotatably connected to the other end of the branching guide rail while being elastically biased.

With this configuration, when the branching guide rail is rotated by a predetermined angle, the branching guide rail and the nose are integrated, and the main line side wall guide rail and the siding line side wall guide rail are rotated, or the branch point Smoothly connects the side wall guide rails of the main line and functions as a branching device.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1st
2A, 2B and 2C are enlarged plan views of the other end of the branching guide rail of the branching device, They are a front explanatory view and a side explanatory view. And Figure 3A, 3
FIG. B and FIG. 6C are an enlarged plan view, front view, and side view of the branching guide rail.

Side wall guide rails 0°C and α are provided on both sides of the main line α1, and these guide rails (+1) and 02 are continuous via the cotton board 0 pier. Side wall guide rails a1) and u are also provided on both sides of the side track (1). The side where the side wall guide rail of the main line and the side wall guide rail of the side line intersect at an obtuse angle is the side where the side wall guide rail (B) and the side wall guide rail (A) are continuous on a smooth curved surface and intersect at an acute angle. A rotating shaft 0 and its bearing (A) for supporting and rotating one end of the branching guide rail (1) are attached to the intersection point. This rotating shaft 0 is connected to a drive motor (not shown) and is rotated by a desired angle to rotate the branching guide rail (A). On both sides of the other end of the branch guide rail (1), there is a lock/limit stopper (3:'
3 and 03 are provided, and are used to lock the rail and limit its rotational position, as will be described later. Further, a support roller (b) is provided on the lower surface side of the other end to support the branching guide rail and to ensure smooth rotation thereof.

Furthermore, a connecting frame (
The nose θ1 is rotatably connected via c).

A push pin α is attached to one end of the nose 01 and engages with a fixing hole (b) provided at the other end of the branching guide rail (a). That is, the branching guide rail (1) has a pair of fixed position fixing holes on and e.
A crossing groove (b) is provided to connect the main lines 0 and these holes, and the branching guide rail (g) is located at the position indicated by the solid line (see Figure 2A), allowing the main lines 0 () to communicate with each other. In this state, the spring-loaded pin 01) is attached to one fixed position stopper hole GO.
The nose θ0 functions to maintain its position by engaging with the main line C1O and the side line wire, and then the spring push pin 01) crosses over and passes through the groove 0 to the other fixed position. Move to the positioning hole (G) and engage at that position.

Of course, the rotation of the nose 010 at this time depends on the engagement between the tip of the nose and the side wall guide rail α℃, 078, so the rotation angle corresponds to the interval of the fixed position stopper hole (36, oe). In addition, the branching guide rail (G) is designed to smoothly connect the main line side wall guide rails (2) or the main line side wall guide rail α force and the side line side wall guide rail Q1). The shape of the nose (■) has also been taken into consideration so that contact can be made on a surface without a . Better,
A spring nose () is attached to the other end of the nose (2), and the overall planar shape is approximately triangular. and,
A support roller ■ is also attached to the lower surface of the nose frame.

Since the branching device of this embodiment is configured as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the main line α0 and the side line (A)
When communicating with the main line side wall guide rail αη, the nose ■ at the tip of the branching guide rail (G) is brought into engagement with the main line side wall guide rail αη. At this time, the side wall guide rail αη
is provided with a hole (11a) for letting out the tip of the spring nose (A) and a hole (11b) for letting out the lock/limit stopper 0→, and the side wall of the main line. The guide rail αυ and the side wall guide rail 0■ of the side line are continuous with a smooth curve inj.Also, the lock and limit stopper 0) is missing because the hole (11b) is volcanic, so the hole in the metal fitting is The position of the branching guide rail (1) is maintained by inserting a stopper (not shown) by operating a cornerstone (not shown) or the like.

Next, when connecting the main lines α0, after removing the locking pin from the locking and limit stopper (a), rotate the rotating shaft 0) by the desired angle using the drive motor (not shown). make it move. The branching guide rail (1) moves toward the side wall guide rail (6) of the main line while being guided by the free rotation of one support roller (b), and the nose θ1 is aligned with the rail α.
in a force state to engage with the object, stopping its movement. At this time, the side wall guide rail (2) is also provided with a hole (12a) and a hole (121), and the side wall guide rails 09 of the main line are continuous with each other on a smooth surface. During this branch switching, the position of the push bottle @■ moves from one fixed position stopper hole (G) to the other, and the nose (
Hold the position of the 咒. Furthermore, a locking/limiting metal fitting (A) in the opposite position to the above case protrudes from the hole (12b), and by inserting a stopper into the hole of the metal fitting (G), the branching guide rail ( (to) position.

Note that the branching guide rail (G) and nose OQ are not limited to the shapes shown in the illustrated embodiment, but can be configured to form a smooth guide rail depending on the intersection angle between the main line and the side line. Needless to say, the design is subject to arbitrary changes.

As is clear from the above description and description, the branching device according to the present invention performs the branching function by simply swinging one set of branching guide rails and one set of noses rotatably connected thereto. This makes it possible to realize a simple and compact guide rail type branching device.
