Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vehicle transport system for transporting vehicles by electric vehicles running on tracks.

Generally, when a car drives inside a tunnel, exhaust gas emitted from the internal combustion engine remains inside the tunnel, causing the air inside the tunnel to become contaminated and becoming extremely dangerous. For this reason, it is necessary to provide strong ventilation, but in the case of long tunnels, this ventilation air duct becomes very large, and when comparing the actual road area and the ventilation air duct, the ventilation air duct is much larger. growing.
In this case, the amount of excavation of the ventilation duct increases, which is directly linked to the construction cost of the tunnel, which is a very big problem. Therefore, in long tunnels, the idea is to transport cars by loading them onto special electric vehicles to reduce air pollution inside the tunnel, reduce the amount of ventilation ducts to be dug, and reduce overall construction costs. There is. No automobile transport device has yet been proposed that allows easy loading and unloading of automobiles in such cases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automobile transportation device that allows easy loading and unloading of automobiles loaded onto an electric drive vehicle.

This will be explained with reference to the figures. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle body of an electrically driven vehicle, and this vehicle body 1 is placed on a bogie 2 attached to the front and rear of this vehicle body 1.

This truck 2 has both flange wheels 3 and non-flange wheels 4, and rides on rails 5a and 5b, respectively. Reference numeral 6 denotes a third rail for power supply, which slides with the current collector output from the electric drive vehicle to supply the electric drive vehicle with the power necessary for running. 7 shows a large car loaded on this electric drive car. This large-sized automobile 7 rides on the floor surface 12 of the vehicle body 1 of the electric drive vehicle, is protected by left and right guides 13, and moves within the tunnel 8. The front and rear ends of the vehicle body 1 of the electric drive vehicle are formed obliquely as shown in FIG. 3, and the vehicle 7 is loaded and unloaded. The diagonal portions are flipped up and fixed upward during movement, and are used as front and rear stoppers 10 for the large automobile 7 placed on the vehicle body 1. Reference numeral 9 is an electric controller for the electric drive vehicle mounted under the floor, which receives start, stop, and speed commands from the ground side and controls the drive electric motor (not shown).
and drives the wheels 3 and 4 to make the electric drive vehicle run. Reference numeral 11 denotes a core plate, and the bogie 2 is attached to the vehicle body 1 via the core plate 11. Further, the bogie 2 is composed of a front bogie 2a and a rear bogie 2b, and both flange wheels 3 are placed on one rail 5a side in the bogie 2a, and vice versa on the rail 5a side on the bogie 2b.
b side, the flangeless wheel 4 is provided on the rail 5b side of the bogie 2a, and the rail 5a on the opposite side of the bogie 2b.
placed on the side.

Next, the case of loading and unloading a car will be explained with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 15 indicates a loading side platform of the automobile, and 16 indicates a loading/unloading side platform, and depending on the situation, only one of these platforms 15 and 16 may be used. 14 is a branching device when the double flange wheels 3 are used, and a rail 5a which is a track;
Both flange wheels 3 run along the rails 5b, while a flangeless wheel 3 runs towards the rails 5,5. The car body 1 is held at a constant angle to the bogies 2a and 2b by a center plate 11, and is attached to a platform 1.
Close to 5,16. The front and rear oblique portions of the vehicle body 1 are lowered horizontally to become flush with the platforms 15 and 16.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. Since a floor surface 12 and left and right guides 13 are provided in the center of the vehicle body 1 of the electric drive vehicle, the vehicle 7
can enter freely. In this case, the guide 13 is a strength member that prevents the car 7 from falling off the floor 12 during loading and unloading, and also maintains the strength and rigidity of the car body 1 under the load of the car 7. used as. Also this guide 13
are arranged in relation to the structure of the bogie 2 in such a way that the height of the floor 12 is made as low as possible to reduce the overall frontal area on which the car 7 is placed, which is effective in reducing the cross-sectional area of the tunnel. . This electric drive vehicle receives driving commands from the ground side by an electric controller 9 and performs proper driving. Also, stopper 10 is car 7.
is used as a step when getting on or off the floor 12, and when the electric drive vehicle is running with the car 7 on board, it is raised and fixed, and serves as a stopper to prevent the car 7 from falling off the edge of the car. prevent. In this electric drive vehicle, a vehicle body 1 is mounted on a truck 2 via a center plate 11 so that the truck 2 can swing freely relative to the vehicle body. On a general route, the vehicle can freely travel on straight lines and curves on rails 5a and 5b using both flange wheels 3 and non-flange wheels 4, just like a general railway vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 4, a branching device 14 is provided at the location where the automobile 7 is loaded onto and unloaded from the electric vehicle, and the branching device 14 branches into the rails 5, 5a and the rails 5, 5b. On the bogie 2a in front of the electric drive vehicle, both flange wheels 3 ride on the rail 5a side, and the non-flange wheels 4 ride on the rail 5a side.
is riding on the opposite rail 5b. For this reason, the bogie 2a is guided along the rail 5a by the action of both flange wheels 3, while the flange wheels 4 are guided along the rail 5a.
It moves from b to rail 5. Therefore, the branching device 14 has a structure in which there is no movable part for branch switching. Next, on the rear truck 2b, both flange wheels 3
rides on the rail 5b side, and the flangeless wheel 4 rides on the opposite rail 5a. Therefore, when the bogie 2b passes the branching device 14, both the flange wheels 3 are guided by the rails 5b, and the flangeless wheels 4
The one that was initially on rail 5a is now rail 5.
You will be on top. In this way, when the bogies 2 installed at the front and rear of the car body 1 enter a different line, the car body 1 runs at a certain angle with the direction in which the rails 5a, 5b, and 5 are provided, and the front end or rear of the car body 1 The end has a certain angle with the loading/unloading platform 16 or the loading platform 15 of the vehicle, and the vehicle body 1
The front and rear ends of the loader can face the loading and unloading platforms 15 and 16 at the same level with a very small gap due to the oblique portion (stopper 10).

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows a terminal configuration using an electric drive vehicle. 18 is a forwarding line, 19 is an arrival line, and 20 is a departure line. The arrival line 19 passes from the branching device 17 to the branching device 14 and connects to the outgoing lanes 21a and 21b. Getting off lane 21
A loading/unloading platform 16 is provided at a and 21b. The unloading lanes 21a, 21b pass through a forwarding line 18 at a branching device 14, and are further connected to loading lines 22a, 22b via the branching device 14. A loading platform 15 is provided on the loading lines 22a, 22b. The loading lines 22a, 22b are connected to the departure line 20 via a branching device 14 and a branching device 17. The concept of the branching device 17 is shown in FIG. 6, and the branching device 17 includes a drive mechanism 23 using a hydraulic cylinder, an operating link 28, and a movable rail that rotates around a rotation center 26 by the operating link 28. 24, 25, a rotating rail 30 that rotates around a rotation center 31 by an interlocking mechanism 29, and a fixed rail 27 arranged between the rotating rail 30 and the movable rails 24, 25.

Next, the operation of the other embodiments described above will be explained. When the electric drive vehicle loaded with the automobile 7 first arrives at the arrival line 19, it first passes through the branching device 17. This branching device 17 has movable rails 24, 25 as shown in FIG.
and the rotating rail 30 is switched, and the electric drive vehicle having both flange wheels 3 and flangeless wheels 4 is branched to the right or left branch line. The electrically driven vehicle branched off at the branching device 17 further passes through the branching device 14, and enters a state where the bogies 2a and 2b of the same body run on different tracks. In this case, the exit lane 21 is divided into two groups shown as 21a and 21b by the branching device 17, but first, the electric drive vehicle enters the innermost position of the exit lane 21a and stops, and the loaded vehicle 7 is separated from the vehicle. Loading and unloading by oneself and unloading onto platform 16 on the loading/unloading side. Here, the electric drive vehicles arriving one after another stop immediately after the vehicle parked at the farthest end, and unload the loaded vehicle 7. At this point, when the exit lane 21a is filled with electric vehicles, the branching device 1
7 is switched, and the next electric drive vehicle is stopped at the farthest end of the exit lane 21b. The subsequently arriving cars stop one after another in the unloading lane 21b and unload the loaded cars 7. Next, the electric drive vehicle that finished unloading car 7,
It is forwarded to the forwarding line 18 through the branching device 14 and to the loading line 22 . In this case, the forwarding line 18 passes under the road that connects the loading/unloading platform 16 and the loading platform 15 to the general road, but the road is only slightly higher in this part, so the electric drive vehicle can carry the loaded vehicle. Since it has been lowered, its overall height is extremely low, and it can easily pass through the tunnel built below.

Next, the electric drive vehicle forwarded from the forwarding line 18 to the loading line 22a loads the cars 7 on the loading side platform 15 in order starting from the first vehicle, departs as soon as the loading is completed, and transfers to the branching device 14 and the branching device 17. The train departs from departure line 20. Here, there are two loading lines 22a and 22b.The electric drive vehicle stops in order from the back of the loading line 22a, and the loading line 22a
When the exit lane 21a becomes full, the exit lane 21a becomes empty and the exit lane 21a becomes ready to receive the next vehicle. In this way, when the loading line 22a is ready for loading, the loading line 22b side completes all loading and departs, and is ready to receive the next vehicle. In this way, there will be two unloading lanes and two loading lines, and the time required for loading and unloading will be determined by taking into account the gap between vehicles to the arrival line or departure line, and stopping at one unloading lane or loading line at the same time. It can be secured freely by increasing or decreasing the number of vehicles.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the bogies of the car body enter different tracks of the branch track so that the car body straddles the branch track, and the loading and unloading of cars is performed from the front and rear ends of the car body. As a result, processing can be performed extremely rationally and in a small amount of space.
