Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transportation device that transports cargo, passengers, etc. by a self-propelled or non-self-propelled moving body that travels on a running path.

Systems for transporting people and cargo (regardless of shape and weight) to a destination have been realized using various methods, and the systems used in this case Mobile objects (for example, transport vehicles) are broadly classified into self-propelled types and non-self-propelled types.

In the case of a non-self-propelled moving object, the running path is constructed by arranging an endless rotating body consisting of a magnetic belt in the longitudinal direction, while a field is attached to the underside of the nuclear moving object. The moving object is attracted to the traveling path by magnetism, and the moving object is moved to the destination by the traveling path which rotates in one direction.

In addition, in the opposite method, the traveling path is formed by an endless rotating body having a large number of field forces at appropriate equal intervals, and the lower surface of the moving body is attracted by the field and easily magnetized in the magnetic field. By providing a magnetic material part (hereinafter referred to as the magnetic part) that loses magnetism outside the magnetic field, and rotating the traveling path in one direction as described above, the object is intended to be a non-self-propelled moving object. I try to move it by running to the ground.

Furthermore, in the case of a self-propelled vehicle such as an electric car, if it is not powered by its own power, it must be operated in the same way as a non-self-propelled vehicle. I try to run a driving strategy.

When transporting cargo, passengers, etc. to a destination using such a transportation system, the present invention enables people and cargo to be loaded and unloaded at a desired point, to change the running order of moving objects, or to change their course. Furthermore, the number of moving objects can be increased or decreased, and this can be done rationally.

The configuration of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the transportation device of the present invention, in which 1 is a main line running route, 2A is a regular running route for diversion, and 2B is a merging route.

3 is a moving body (carriage car for freight and passengers, etc.).
However, when the moving body 3 is self-propelled on the main line running route 1,
The structure is similar to a normal paved road, but the moving body 3 is non-self-propelled (usually has wheels that can roll and support its own weight, but there are cases where there are no supporting wheels). In this case, the running path 1 is formed by installing an inorganic rotating body (belt comparison unit) made of a magnetic belt in the longitudinal direction, or by installing an endless rotating body with magnetic fields attached at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. In the case where the endless rotating body is a magnetic belt, the non-self-propelled moving body 3 includes:
If a field magnet is attached to the lower surface of the inorganic rotating body, and a field magnet is attached to the inorganic rotating body, the moving body 3 is provided with a magnetic part. Regardless of the running type, the main line running route 1 is configured as described above.
This means that you will be able to run on the road.

When the moving body 3 arrives at the diversion point in FIG.

If the scale line is changed to the line running route 2A, or if the moving object 3 is run from the secondary line running route 28 to the main line running route 1 at the confluence point in the figure, or if there is no need to change the route, the main line The movable body 3 is run from the running route 1 to the main line running route 1, and for this purpose, guide mechanisms 4A and 48 are provided at each branch point between the main line running route and the 10% line running route 2A and 2B. A guided portion 5 is provided in the movable body 3 that is split or merged via the same aircraft 4A, 4B. Of these, the guide mechanisms 4A and 4B are endless magnetic belts 6.
and an endless rotating body (belt comparison unit) consisting of a pulley 7 such as a driving force and a driven force for rotating the belt 6.
The guided portion 5 of the movable body 3 is composed of the magnetic belt 6.
In addition to being composed of a field magnet that attracts the guide mechanism 4A,
In the case where 4B is constituted by an endless rotating body having a large number of field magnets at equal intervals on the outer periphery, the guided portion 5 of the movable body 3 is constituted by a magnetic part.

In this way, the guide mechanisms 4A, 4B are provided at the branch points of the main line running path 1 and the sub line running paths 2A, 28, and when the moving body 3 having the guided portion 5 arrives at the diversion point K, the moving body The guided portion 5 of No. 3 and the guide mechanism 4A are in an adsorption state,
The moving body 3 will be route-changed in the direction guided by the guide mechanism 4A, that is, from the main line running route 1 to the Liu Line running route 2A. Since there is no adsorption relationship with the mechanism 4A, even when the vehicle reaches the above-mentioned diversion point K, it will not be changed to the secondary route 2A and will continue to run on the main route 1.

In addition, the moving body 3 with the guided part 5 heading from the Liu Line travel route 28 to the confluence point P also has the guided part 5 of the moving body 3 and the guiding mechanism 4B in an adsorption state, so that the aircraft 4B The train is smoothly guided from the Liu Line running route 2B to the main line running route 1 via the.

Therefore, at the diversion point K, the main line travels approximately 2A from the main line travel route 1 to the secondary route.
The guided part 5 may be provided for the moving body 3 to be changed to the main route, and the guided part 5 may not be provided for the moving body 3 to be driven only on the main route 1, or the guided part 5 may be provided for the moving body 3 to be changed to By removing the magnetic belt, or by drawing the gap between the field and the magnetic belt toward the moving object to the extent that the magnetic attraction force does not cause rutting, the moving object 3 will automatically select a route at the branch point K. The vehicle must travel on its own designated course. At this time, if the regular running routes 2A and 2B are connected to each other, the moving object 3 that has been drawn into the secondary running route 2A can be made to enter the main running route 1 again from the secondary running route 2B. .

If the selective route running of the moving objects 3 can be realized as described above, for example, when adjusting the transport amount depending on the number of moving objects 3 on the main line running route 1, the moving objects 3 can be moved to the Liu Line running route 2A.
The number of moving bodies 3 can be reduced by moving the moving bodies 3 into the main line running route 1 from the sub-line traveling route 2B, or the number can be increased by moving the moving bodies 3 having the guided section 5 and the moving bodies 3 having the guided part 5. In order to change the order of the moving body 3 with the moving body 3 that does not move, the moving body 3 having the guided portion 5 is moved to the Liu Line running route 2A
2B, increase or decrease the distance of the moving object 3 using this step, and then re-enter the main line running route 1. This makes it easy to change the running order of the target moving unit 3. 2
At a desired location such as A, 28, or in the vicinity, a station for people to board and disembark, a transfer base for loading and unloading cargo,
Furthermore, if there is a terminal etc., only the specified moving body 3 having the guided part 5 can be pulled into the Liu Line running route 2A to perform the desired work, or the sub-line running route 2B
The mobile object 3 can be started and run toward the main road 1 from the starting point.

Furthermore, when the secondary running routes 2A and 2B are connecting roads that connect a plurality of main running routes 1, the moving object 3 can be automatically advanced to the target route at a predetermined point.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be explained. In this embodiment, there are sub-line running paths 2A and
2A' and 2B, 2B' are provided in a branched manner, and guide mechanisms 4A, 4A' and 4B, 48 are provided at the respective branching locations.

In this case, these guide mechanisms 4A, 4A', and 4B,
The guided portion 5 of the movable body 3 that is attracted to the movable body 3 has two types: one is provided on the left side in the traveling direction of the movable body 3, and the other is provided on the right side in the same traveling direction. Also in this case, a movable body 3 without a guided portion 5 is used. Of course, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 as well, transport is performed using the route selection of the moving body 3 in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, and in this case, the moving body 3 has the guided portion 5 on the right side in the traveling direction. The body 3 is guided through guide mechanisms 4A and 4B,
In addition, the moving body 3 having the guided part 5 on the left side of the traveling direction changes its route as prescribed via the guide mechanisms 4A' and 4B', and the moving body 3 without the guided part 5 changes its route along the main line. The vehicle will travel only on travel path 1.

In addition, in this embodiment, the moving body 3 that does not have a guided portion 5 and that travels on the main line running path 1 is equipped with a known rail, guide plate, etc. in order to ensure straight running performance at branch points. The movable body 3 may be moved along a guide mechanism 4C consisting of a guide member, and in this case, there are guided parts on both sides of the movable body 3 that are different from the guided part 5, that is, bales opposite the guide mechanism 4C. A guided portion 5' consisting of a rolling wheel, a shoe, or the like may be provided. Of course, such a guide mechanism 4C and guided portion 5' can be employed in the embodiment shown in FIG.

Furthermore, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a reversing mechanism for the movable body 3 may be provided at a desired location such as the sub-line running paths 2A, 2A', 2B, 28, etc., and one of the reversing mechanisms An example is shown in FIG.

In other words, the reversing mechanism 8 is constructed by forming a part of the Liu Line running path 2A into a semicircular shape, a maple U-shape, etc.
If the moving body 3 guided from the main track 1 to the end portion 8' of the reversing mechanism 8 is driven to the sub-track tracks 2A, 2B, it can be reversed naturally.

The purpose of reversing the movable body 3 in this manner is, for example, to change the guided portion 5 which was on the left side in the direction of movement of the movable body 3 to the right side in the same direction. The route selection range for mobile object 3 has been expanded,
In the embodiment shown in FIG.
It is possible to go straight to 2A without making a right turn, in the same way as the moving body 3 without.

Of course, as a reversing mechanism other than that shown in the drawings, a rotary disk capable of loading and rotating the movable body 3 may also be employed as appropriate.

In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the sub-line running paths 2A, 2A', 2B, 28, etc. provided on the main line running route 1 are provided at any desired point 1 on the main line running route 1, and the number thereof is not shown in the figure. It is not limited and may be increased or decreased as appropriate.

In addition, the main line running line 1 at the branch point is the sub line running route 2A,
It may be curved so as to be symmetrical with respect to 2B or the like.

As explained above, the present invention provides branched regular track running paths for diversion, merging, or both diversion and merging at desired locations on the main line running route, and allows these running routes to be used by a plurality of moving vehicles. The vehicle can run on the main track, or selectively move from the secondary track to the main track, or from the main track to the regular track. In a transportation device that is provided with a guide mechanism for route selection of a movable body across a branch point between a main line running route and a sub-line running route so as to travel, the movable body may be guided via the above-mentioned guide mechanism or the like. A movable body that is guided via a guide mechanism is provided with a discarded interior corresponding to a predetermined guide mechanism, and the guide mechanism and the guided part are The mechanism is constituted by an endless rotating body made of a magnetic belt, and the guided part is constituted by a field that can be freely attracted to the endless rotating body, or
Alternatively, the guiding mechanism is constructed of an endless rotating body having a large number of magnetic fields at appropriate intervals, and the guided portion is constructed of a magnetic material that can be freely attracted by the magnetic field of the endless rotating body.
