Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for transporting personnel.

In recent years, bicycles have been increasingly used for commuting to work or school, and as a result, many bicycles are parked in front of stations, resulting in severe congestion and developing into a social transportation problem called bicycle pollution. However, no effective means of human transportation has been provided to replace bicycles, and bicycles are an effective means of transportation, especially for those who travel relatively short to medium distances without needing to ride a pass to get to the nearest station. Solving social problems is difficult.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and focuses on the rail bicycles that have been installed in amusement parks and the like, and makes it possible to highly efficiently transport personnel by applying these rail bicycles. In addition to minimizing parking of bicycles, motorcycles, etc. in front of the station,
The purpose is to provide a method of transporting personnel that can eliminate concerns such as traffic accidents (lack of exercise among office workers, etc.).

Therefore, the feature of the present invention is that a plurality of plant platforms are provided on the ground at a predetermined distance, and a rail passing through the plant platforms is laid in a ring shape at a predetermined height above the ground, and on the rail, A large number of track-running bicycles equipped with human-powered running devices and power-powered running devices are installed, and the rail-running bicycles are mainly driven manually using the human-powered running devices in the direction where there is a large flow of personnel between platforms, so that the flow of personnel is reduced. In the few directions, it is powered by only the power running device,
The point is that a large number of track-running bicycles are sequentially run along the rails.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on drawings showing examples.

FIG. 1 is a bird's-eye view showing an example of the implementation of the method of the present invention,
A personnel transportation facility using track bicycles 1 is provided between a train station P and a residential area such as a housing complex Q.

In other words, there are platforms 2 and 3 near station P and housing complex Q, respectively.
A rail 4 passing through both platforms 2.3 is laid in a ring shape at a predetermined height above the ground. A large number of rail-running bicycles 1... run in one direction as shown by arrows A and B on this rail 4, but this rail-running bicycle 1...
- is equipped with a human-powered traveling device 5 and a power traveling device 6, as illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.

Specifically, the track bicycle 1... has a front wheel 7 and a rear wheel 8.
In addition, the fuselage 9, which is formed into a frame shape from a pipe member or the like, has anti-overturn guide wheels 10..., and the front wheels 7 and rear wheels 8 have various cross sections arranged vertically in parallel. Rolls on the upper surface of the upper member 11 of the rail 4 consisting of a pipe-shaped or solid member 11° 11, and rolls on the upper surface of the member 11 to prevent overturning.
- holds the upper and lower members 11° while rolling the sides of 11. The two-seater bicycle 1 is pivoted to the body 9 with a pair of man-caved wheels 12, 12, 12, and 12 on the left and right sides, which are rotatable around an axis 13.13. , the shaft 17 of the front wheel 7 is rotated via the large chain wheel 14, the chain 15, and the small chain wheel 16. A ratchet mechanism is provided within the small chain wheel 16 to transmit only human power in the forward rotation direction. 18 is a brake disc fixed to the shaft 17.

In this way, there are 12 human cabedals, 14 large chain wheels, and 15 chains.
, a small chain wheel 16, a ratchet mechanism, a shaft 17, etc., constitute a human-powered running device 5, which rotates the front wheels 7 manually.

Next, reference numeral 19 is an electric motor, which is generally equipped with a speed reduction mechanism. A chain wheel 20 is fixed to the output shaft of the electric motor 19, and a chain wheel 21 having a ratchet mechanism (not shown) is attached to the middle of the shaft 17. is suspended, and the electric motor 19
The driving force is transmitted to the shaft 17, and the front wheel 7 is rotated. A battery 23 is connected to the electric motor 19 by a cord 24 to rotate the motor 19. Reference numeral 25 denotes a disconnect/disconnect switch, which is interposed in the middle of the cord 24, specifically attached to a part of the step platform 26, and can be operated by the passenger 28 while sitting on the seat 27 with his or her foot. Also 2
Reference numeral 9 indicates an outlet for charging the battery 23.

In this way, the power running device 6 is composed of the electric motor 19, the chain wheel 20, the chain 22, the chain wheel 21, the ratchet mechanism, the shaft 17, the battery 23, the cord 24, the disconnection switch 25, and the like. The shaft 17 is also shared by the human powered traveling device 5.

As shown by the imaginary lines in FIGS. 5 and 4, a rotary wheel 30 rotatably driven by an electric motor 19 equipped with a reduction gear is swung in the direction of arrow C and pressed against the front wheel 7 to generate rotational force. If the rotation wheel 30 is transmitted while also swinging in the direction indicated by the arrow,
It is also possible to configure the power running device 6 so that the front wheel 7 can be freely separated from the front wheel 7. In this case, the chain wheel 20, 21 and the stopper 2
2nd prize will be omitted.

The track bicycle 1 shown in FIG. 6 is similar in that it is equipped with a human-powered traveling device 5 and a powered traveling device 6, but the rear wheel 8 instead of the front wheel 7 is selectively or simultaneously equipped with a human-powered traveling device 5 and a powered traveling device 6. It can be rotated by a power source. Specifically, Hitokabedal 12,
A large chain car 14 and a shaft 3 horizontally suspended at the lower rear position of the fuselage 9
A small chain wheel 32 with a built-in ratchet attached to the chain wheel 14, a chain 33 suspended from both chain wheels 14 and 32, a chain wheel 35 attached to the shaft 34 of the rear @8, and a shaft 31 (not shown). The human powered traveling device 5 is composed of another chain wheel attached to the chain wheel 35, a chain 36 suspended from the chain wheel and the chain wheel 35, and the like. On the other hand,
The electric motor 19 is fixed to the fuselage 9 at a position below the seat 27, the chain wheel 20 on the output shaft, the chain 22, and the shaft 31 has a ratchet 7 inside. 21, the shaft 31, chain 36, chain wheel 35, shaft 34, and the aforementioned battery 23, etc., the power traveling device 6 is constructed. It is installed in the fuselage 9 in an extremely compact manner.

Note that 37 is a brake, which is interlocked and connected to a brake lever 38 provided on the side of the seat 27 by a wire 39 or the like. 40.40 are the front and rear hampers, respectively.

Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, it is also possible to provide an independent system by providing a human-powered running device 5 on one of the front wheels 7 and rear wheels 8 and a power-powered running device 6 on the other. It is also preferable to provide the connection/disconnection switch 25 at a position where the passenger 28 can manually operate the connection/disconnection switch 25, or a person other than the passenger 28 may operate the connection/disconnection switch 25 manually.
The connection/disconnection switch 25 may be configured to be provided on the back of the aircraft body 9 or the like to control the connection/disconnection switch 25 remotely, or the connection/disconnection switch 25 may be provided with a sensing rod protruding from a part of the aircraft body 9. It is also possible to configure the sensing rod to be activated and to switch to the ON side only when the rail 4 is on an upward slope.

However, in Figure 1, in the morning for commuting to work or school, bicycles 1,
... flows, and there is almost no flow in the opposite direction of arrow B.

Therefore, in the direction where there is a large flow of people from the platform 3 of the housing complex Q to the platform 2 of the station P, the rail-running bicycles 1 are mainly driven manually using the human-powered traveling device 5, and the bicycles 1... In the direction from 2 to Platform 3 of Danchi Q, where there is less flow of people, empty bicycles 1
Since there are many cases, the vehicle is driven using only the power traveling device 6.

That is, when the user abandons the bicycle 1 at the plant platform 2 of the station P, the user operates the disconnection switch 25 to switch to the power running device 6, and the bicycle 1 is brought to the platform 3 of the housing complex Q in an unoccupied state (empty). (as it is) and runs on power,
The bicycles are returned as indicated by arrow B, and as a result, many commuters can reach station P using as few bicycles as possible with maximum rotational efficiency. Of course, the flow of personnel is reversed from evening to night, so arrow B
In the direction indicated by arrow A, the vehicle is driven by a human-powered traveling device 5, and in the direction of arrow A, the vehicle is driven empty by a powered traveling device 6. In this way, a large number of rail-running bicycles l... can be made to travel sequentially along the rails 4.

Therefore, the social transportation problem of congestion due to the large number of conventional bicycles placed in front of stations will be successfully solved, and it will also help solve the lack of exercise among office workers. Furthermore, even on terrain with mountains and valleys on the way, climbing can be done easily by using the power running device 6 as an aid when climbing, so it can be installed even on such uneven terrain. Furthermore, it is also effective for transporting people between the entrance gate and the main venue at an amusement park, an exposition venue, etc., even if the floor plan is different between a residential area and a station.

In addition, the number of Plant Bohm 2.3 is free, and
The switch 25 on the plant platform 2.3 can be operated by the user himself or by the operator on the platform 2.3.
, 3, or even remote control as mentioned above.

The present invention has effectively achieved its intended purpose with the configuration detailed above.

In particular, a large number of track-running bicycles l... equipped with human-powered running devices 5 and power-powered running devices 6 are mainly driven manually between the plant homes 2 and 3 located on the annular rail 4 in the direction where there is a large flow of personnel. Since the vehicle is operated manually by the device 5, and only the power vehicle 6 is operated in the direction where there is less flow of personnel, highly efficient transportation of personnel over short and medium distances is achieved, and parking of bicycles, motorcycles, etc. in front of the station is avoided. Extremely reduced IM can greatly contribute to solving the bicycle pollution problem. Furthermore, you can exercise moderately without worrying about traffic accidents.
It is especially useful for resolving the lack of exercise among office workers. Furthermore, it is possible to safely transport people, regardless of age or gender.
