Description

 The invention relates to overhead passenger transport and for the implementation of high-speed, mainly urban and suburban transport systems.

 To ensure improved quality of travel of vehicles in overpass transport systems, high operational efficiency and reliability of the latter, the flexible layout of used motor cars, as well as optimizing the interaction of movers with track beams, are important.

 A vehicle is known for a flyover transport system with supports and a track beam, consisting of at least one control cabin, a motor unit, a chassis with support and guide wheel pairs interacting with a track beam (DE 3926 725 A1, B 61 V 13 / 00, 02.28.91).

 The disadvantage of the known vehicle is predetermined by the rigid structural connection of its component units, which does not allow replacing, if necessary, one motor unit with another, for example, of a different power. In addition, in this vehicle, the motor unit is not grouped in a clearly defined compartment, which negatively affects its operation and repair.

 Closest to the proposed one is a vehicle also intended for use in an overpass transportation system with supports and a track beam and consisting of side aggregate-moving and upper passenger compartments (US 344 / '481 V 61 V 13/04, 03.06.69).

 The disadvantage of this vehicle is again associated with a stationary connection of the aggregate-running and passenger compartments with each other, which impedes its wide practical use. In addition, there are no steering wheelsets in this vehicle, which reduces its driving performance.

 The objective of the invention is to increase the efficiency of operation of such a vehicle and expand its functionality.

 The problem is solved in that the vehicle for the overpass transport system, consisting of aggregate-running and passenger compartments connected by detachable connecting devices, in the first of which are traction drive units, support and guide wheel pairs, interacting respectively with the support and guide surfaces mounted on supporting columns of the track beam, and equipment for control and conditioning, and in the second - equipment for lighting.

 Partial essential features of the invention contribute to the solution of the problem.

 Aggregate-driving compartments of the vehicle can be located at the ends of the passenger compartments and are made interchangeable.

 The number of supporting wheel pairs in each aggregate-running compartment of the vehicle can be chosen equal to two, while the supporting wheel pairs are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction.

 The number of guide wheel pairs in each aggregate-running compartment of the vehicle can be chosen equal to two, while the guide wheel pairs are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction.

 Each connecting device can be made in the form of power brackets, rigidly fastened to the passenger compartment, covering the aggregate-traveling compartment and connected with it by detachable nodes located between the supporting wheel pairs.

 The vehicle can be equipped with additional guide wheelsets, while the latter are pivotally attached to the passenger compartment and have a device for turning and fixing them in a position that ensures the rolling of the guide wheels along the guide surfaces of the track beam.

 The rotation and fixing device can be made with the possibility of fixing additional guide wheel pairs in a position that ensures the rolling of the guide wheels on additional supporting surfaces of the track beam, which are maintenance areas and are located with a displacement in the vertical direction relative to the main bearing surfaces of the beam.

 Particular features of the invention are presented in FIG. 1-4.

 Figure 1 - vehicle when driving on a track beam; in FIG. 2 - vehicle at the maintenance site; figure 3 is a section AA of figure 1; figure 4 - cross section BB figure 2.

 The composition of the proposed vehicle (figure 1) for a monorail transport system includes passenger 1 and aggregate-running 2 compartments articulated by detachable connecting devices 3. The supporting 4 and guide 5 wheel pairs interact with the supporting 6 and guide 7 surfaces of the track beam 8. The track beam is mounted on the supporting columns 9. Each connecting device is made in the form of power brackets 10 (Fig. 2), rigidly fastened to the passenger compartment and covering the aggregate-running compartment and associated detachable assemblies 11. The detachable assemblies 11 (Fig. 2) are located between the support wheel pairs 4 of each aggregate-traveling compartment.

 The vehicle is equipped with additional guide wheel pairs 12 (Fig. 1, 3), which are pivotally fastened to the passenger compartment 1 and have a turning device 13 (Fig. 3) and their fixation 14 in a position that ensures that the guide wheels roll along the guide surfaces 7 of the track beam . The device of rotation 13 (Fig. 4) and fixation 14 is arranged to fix additional guide wheel pairs 12 in a position that ensures the rotation of the guide wheels on additional supporting surfaces 15 of the track beam, which are maintenance areas and are located with a displacement in the vertical direction relative to the main supporting surfaces 6 beams 8.

 The vehicle operates as follows. Aggregate-running compartments 2 (Fig. 1, 2) are located at the ends of the passenger compartment 1. In each aggregate-moving compartment there are two support 4 and 5 guide wheelsets, which are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction. The supporting wheel pairs 4 (Fig. 1, 2) are in contact with the supporting surface 6 of the running beam 7 and provide vehicle movement in the longitudinal direction, and the steering wheel pairs 5 guarantee the stability of the position of the vehicle on the running beam under the influence of wind and inertial loads acting on him. This arrangement allows you to perform aggregate-running compartments of various capacities and various configurations depending on the climatic region of application and thereby expand its functional capabilities.

 The mechanical connection of the aggregate-running and passenger compartments is carried out using a detachable connecting device 3 (Fig. 1). The power brackets of the connecting device are rigidly connected to the passenger compartment, and detachable communication nodes are located on the aggregate-running compartment. The fact that the detachable communication nodes are located between the support pairs allows you to evenly distribute the weight load from the passenger compartment on them.

 The passenger compartment is equipped with additional guide wheel pairs 12 (Fig. 1, 3), which allows you to unload the aggregate-running compartments from inertial and wind loads acting on the passenger compartment. To change the aggregate-running compartment at the maintenance site, the passenger compartment is exposed to additional steering wheel pairs, which, with the help of a turning and fixing device, are transferred to the corresponding position (Figs. 2, 4). The proposed configuration of the passenger compartment only with lighting equipment increases comfort, as it eliminates possible noise and vibration loads from other equipment (for example, from air conditioners). The efficiency of the vehicle is also increased, since the passenger compartment downtime due to its repair is minimized (in case of repair of the aggregate-running compartment, it is replaced with a backup one).
