Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a versatile capsule for transporting people and cargo, urban dust, etc., to be used in a monorail transportation system that will be adopted as part of future urban transportation.

Needless to say, the transport capsule of the present invention is equivalent to a conventional transportation system vehicle;
Most transportation vehicles, such as streetcars, buses, trucks, taxis, private railcars, monorails, cable cars, and ropeways, have a one-piece structure with a frame and outer skin.

The transport capsule of the present invention differs from such a single unit structure type of conventional vehicles in that it has an independent structure in which the strength-bearing main frame, that is, the frame body, and the box that accommodates personnel or cargo, that is, the capsule body are separated. The present invention is characterized in that the frame body and the capsule body are provided with a detachable mechanism so that the capsule body can be easily inserted into and extracted from the frame body.

Therefore, in operation, the transportation capsule of the present invention requires repainting of the capsule body, replacement for repair when damaged, or when transporting cargo, the capsule, which is a part of the vehicle body, is required to be used as a container. Therefore, it has features and advantages not found in conventional vehicles, such as being easily interchangeable with other cargo capsules.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a small transport capsule with a length of about 2.8 m, a width of about 1.5 m, and a height of about 1.7 m, which seats two people and seats four people.

To explain with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a frame body, 2 is a capsule body, 3 is a single door, 4 is a seat,
Reference numeral 5 indicates a lighting glass window, 6 indicates a monorail track, and 7 indicates a suspension drive device.

A frame 1 having a welded frame structure is assembled from members made of the same metal H-shaped member, which define an outer circumference and an inner circumference at both end flange portions. The frame 1 includes a top frame 9, an upper diagonal frame 10, a front frame 11, a rear frame 12, a lower diagonal frame 13,
and two main frames 8, 8' which are welded and riveted to a flat octagonal shape with front and rear symmetry and are vertically spaced from side to side parallel to the direction of travel; The top beam 1 is connected by welding so that the inner and outer peripheral flange surfaces are flush with each other near each corner of the
5, eight parallel horizontal beams consisting of a front beam 16, a rear beam 17, and a bottom beam 18.
Corner plates 19 for connecting the suspension drive device 7 are welded to the four upper corners of the rectangular top surface formed by the top frame 9 and the top beam 15, and the four corners of the bottom surface are also reinforced. A similar corner plate 19' is welded thereto. The arrangement of each frame and beam member described above is the 6th
This is best shown in the schematic diagram of the figure.

The capsule body 2 has a laminated outer shell structure made of F, R, P (glass fiber reinforced plastic), and as shown in FIG. It is a flat octagon with possible dimensions. The width of the capsule body 2 is equal to the width of the two main frames 8,
8'. Thus,
The capsule body 2 is composed of a flat octagonal left side wall 21 with a front hinged single-hinged window 3 with a daylight window, a right side wall 21' with a daylight window, and a trunk wall 20 that connects the peripheral edges of both sides. ing. In addition, an inner reinforcing wall 22 with a double wall structure extends over the entire upper circumference including the front and rear vertical parts around the joint between the trunk wall 20 and the side walls 21, 21'.
(See Figures 3 and 4). Inside the capsule body 2, a floor 23 and two opposing seats 4 are provided. 23' is a honeycomb material.

The frame body 1 and the capsule body 2 are fixed upward by being clamped between the outer flanges of the left and right top frames 9 near each corner plate 19 on the top surface of the frame body, as shown in FIG. Each of the 244 fixed mounting brackets protruding left and right and the upwardly bent portions of the four embedded vertical angles 25, which serve both to reinforce the side walls 21 and 21' and to reinforce the entire suspension, are sandwiched between the spacing material 26. At the bottom, the four lower diagonal frames 13 are tightened with bolts as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Two flanged nuts 28 embedded at appropriate intervals in each of the outer flange portion of the inner periphery of the shape material and the inner surface of the lower diagonal wall portion at four locations that collide along the flange portion are attached to the flange portion. Bolts are tightened at a total of eight locations through the elongated holes 29 for bolts.

In order to enable the capsule body 2 to be easily inserted and removed from the frame body 1, various devices have been conventionally available, and an appropriate device can be selected from them, but in this embodiment, the following device is used. And so.

That is, as explained in FIG.
Thrust bearings 30 are fixed, for example, upwardly, as sliding devices at three locations each on the bottom frame 14 on the extension of both ends of the bottom frame 14 and at the center of the bottom beam 18, and the beam 1
8 and 18, and a guide rail 31 attached along the lower surface of the bottom wall of the capsule body 2 facing the capsule body 2. The fixing method after inserting the capsule body is as described above.

If the transport capsule is used exclusively for cargo, it may be modified to have a flat hexagonal frame and capsule body with the entire length as the bottom in order to increase loading efficiency.
