Description

The invention relates to the field of transport, in particular to transport systems with a track structure, related to suspended and flyover types, and can be used in space development in conditions of flooded areas, including along river banks.

Known suspension monorail transport system (RF patent No. 2219082, B61B 13/04, B60L 13/03, EB 25/10, 2003.12.20). The transport system has a running path in the form of a beam with a narrow vertical rib, lateral stiffeners and secondary elements of a linear electric motor fixed in its lower part. The vehicle is equipped with active linear motor elements. The beam is made by the national team. The vertical rib is a single or multi-layer elastic carrier tape, which along the entire length, with the exception of attachment points to supports, is provided in the upper part with four lateral elastic tape elements, each of which is previously smoothly bent at an angle of 90 °. The horizontal sections of the lateral elastic tape elements are connected in pairs among themselves, and the vertical ones with the carrier tape. The secondary elements of the linear electric motor are two longitudinally-gear lined magnetic circuits symmetrically fixed on both sides of the carrier tape, and the longitudinal U-shaped electromagnets are the active elements of the linear electric motor. The system travel path is characterized by maximum rigidity with minimum material consumption. The disadvantage of this invention is the narrow scope associated with the inability to change the height of the body when moving the vehicle on flooded areas, for example, when the tides of water in the river.

Famous "sea" tram inventor Magnus Folk (information from the site). The Pioneer tram moved along the seashore along underwater rails on four steel racks each 8.2 m long. Each rack ended with casing in the form of submarines with four wheels. Scrapers for cleaning algae and pebbles were also fixed on them. A comfortable carriage was fixed on the platform, a kind of deck around it and a platform on the roof. The disadvantage of this invention is the narrow scope associated with the inability to change the height of the body when moving the vehicle on flooded areas, for example, when the tides of water in the river.

Known monorail transport system of convertible type, adopted as a prototype (RF patent No. 2158211, B61B 13/04, B61B 5/00, 2000.10.27). The system comprises vehicles with a body, side and end walls, a roof, a bottom, support and guide wheel pairs, as well as a traction drive. The structure of the system includes at least one transport beam with supporting and guide surfaces. The vehicle body is equipped with closed power frames oriented in the direction longitudinal to the body. In this case, the attachment points of the wheelsets are rigidly fastened to the power frames of the body. In this case, the system can be implemented as a hinged or suspended. The disadvantage of this invention is the narrow scope associated with the inability to change the height of the body when moving the vehicle on flooded areas, for example, when the tides of water in the river.

The technical result of the invention is to expand the field of application of devices of this type due to the possibility of regulating the height of the body when moving a vehicle in a flooded area, for example along a river bank.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the Monorail transport system containing a vehicle made in the form of a body with side and end walls, a roof, a bottom, a support and guide wheel pairs with rotation axes and a traction drive, a transport beam with guides and support surfaces, mounted on bearings, and the wheelsets are located outside the dimensions of the body, according to the invention, the system is equipped with a guide beam mounted on poles parallel to the transport beam with the possibility vertical displacements, as well as rotary platforms connected to the body by axles, with support and guide wheel pairs using telescopic hydraulic cylinders interconnected by stiffeners, and with a guide beam through a locking wheel pair, while the vehicle is equipped with disc brakes adjacent to the lateral surface of the support wheels connected through a hydraulic pump with a traction drive, while the posts are equipped with trolley power wires connected by current collectors with traction drive drive.

The technical result is also achieved by the fact that the traction drive is made in the form of executive electric motors.

The application of the invention in comparison with the prototype will expand the scope of applications of devices of this type due to the possibility of regulating the height of the body when moving it in a flooded area, for example along the river.

The monorail transport system comprises a transport beam 4 with supporting and guide surfaces mounted and secured to the supports 10. Supports 10 can be installed in conditions of flooded terrain 5 (under water). On the transport beam 4 using the supporting 2 and the guide 3 of the wheel pairs with the axes of rotation, a vehicle is installed in the form of a vehicle body 1 with side and end walls, a roof, a bottom. The body 1, the supporting 2 and the guiding 3 wheel pairs of the vehicle are connected through the rotary platforms 9 using telescopic hydraulic cylinders 6. The rotary platforms 9 are connected to the body 1 using the axles 8 of the rotary platforms. Telescopic hydraulic cylinders 6 are interconnected by stiffening ribs 7. Traction drive 12 is connected to trolley power supply wires 19 by current collectors 21. Rigidly mounted disc brakes 14 are adjacent to the side surface of the support wheel pair 2. If necessary, the vehicle is equipped with parking brakes. The guide beam 15 is installed on the posts 17 using the nodes of the movable mount 16, providing raising or lowering the guide beam 15 when the telescopic hydraulic cylinders 6 are respectively extended or lowered. The body 1 can, if necessary, be equipped with lighting devices 18. Current collectors 21 made, for example, in the form of trolleybus , allow you to change the angle of inclination when lifting or lowering the body 1 and are designed for continuous transmission of current to the traction drive 12.

Monorail transport system operates as follows. When the vehicle is set in motion, it is removed from the disk brakes 14 by means of a hydraulic pump 13 operating from the traction drive 12. The drive (not shown) of the wheel support pair 3 of the vehicle is supplied with torque from the traction drive 12, fed by current collectors 21, and set the vehicle in motion. When passing the rounded parts of the transport beam 4, the circular rotary platforms 9 are rotated on the axes 8 of the rotary platforms. Due to this, the vehicle freely passes through the rounded parts of the transport beam 4. To move the vehicle at night, use lighting fixtures 18. To increase the adhesion forces on the supporting surfaces of the transport beam 4, it is possible to apply a friction composition. To stop the vehicle using disc brakes 14, included in the operation by means of a hydraulic pump 13. After boarding or disembarking passengers, as well as loading or unloading cargo, the body 1 is raised if necessary. Next, the vehicle is driven in the above sequence. When the tides of water to change the height of movement of the vehicle using hydraulic pumps 13 extend telescopic hydraulic cylinders 6 and raise the body 1 relative to the watered terrain 5. Due to the presence of nodes 16 of the movable fastening of the guide beam 15 provide its vertical movement. The guide beam 15 is designed to damp lateral vibrations of the body 1 when the vehicle is moving with the help of locking wheel pairs 11.

The main advantage of the proposed transport system is the possibility of its use in flooded areas in parallel with other modes of transport, such as water. The installation height of the transport beam 4 is taken from the condition of ensuring reliable operation of the proposed vehicle, taking into account the maximum possible influx of water.

The use of monorail transport system provides the following advantages:

- expanding the scope of devices of this type;

- the ability to use devices in parallel with other modes of transport, such as urban;

- increasing the capacity of city streets for passenger traffic due to their partial unloading.
