Description

The invention relates to vehicles designed to increase the turnover of large containers.

To assess the novelty of the claimed solution, we consider a number of well-known technical devices of a similar purpose, characterized by a combination of features similar to the claimed device.

The prior art attempts to increase the volume of container transport by rail. The RF patent No. 2644056 describes a method for installing containers for rail transportation, in which lower containers are placed on the container transportation platform, bayonet stops are installed in the upper fittings of the lower containers, the lower containers are secured with ties on the platform and the upper containers are placed on the bayonet stops. The invention provides reliable fixation of the lower tier containers on the railway platform, on which the upper tier containers are then installed, and increases the volume of transportation of small containers.

For transporting large freight containers by rail, the construction of a special elongated railway platform according to RF patent No. 2288121 is known, which provides an increase in carrying capacity, increased use of the loading area of the platform with increased overall dimensions of the platform and structural changes. The length of the platform along the clutch axes is 26220 mm, the carrying capacity of the claimed platform is 69 tons.

This technical solution, as the closest to the declared technical essence and the achieved result, was adopted as its prototype.

The disadvantage of this device is the insufficient carrying capacity of the railway platform, due to the limitations of traditional railway transport along the length of the platform and the track gauge of the railway. This limits the possibility of expanding the freight turnover of large containers, while the ongoing globalization processes of the world economy, which are accompanied by accelerated rates of movement of goods, make the task of moving a large number of goods over long distances along interstate and intercontinental transport corridors more and more urgent, which requires new technical solutions designs of loading platforms and track structure.

The objective of the invention is the creation of a transport system moving along an active track structure with a levitation gap along interstate and intercontinental transport corridors, ensuring uninterrupted and timely delivery of raw materials and finished products in large containers to various parts of the world using high-speed capabilities of magneto-gravity transport.

The essence of the claimed technical solution is expressed in the following set of essential features, sufficient to solve the technical problem indicated by the applicant and obtain the technical result provided by the utility model.

According to the invention, a transport system for transporting large containers, including means for placing containers and means for moving them, characterized in that the means for placing containers is made in the form of a foam-shaped capsule with aerodynamic fairings, equipped with windows for loading containers placed thereon perpendicular to the axis of movement capsules, and means for moving the capsule are made in the form of a levitation system and lateral stabilization, as well as linear traction elements engine installed in the lower part of the capsule, interacting with elements of an active magnetovitational track structure mounted on consoles mounted on the supports of a flyover, the height of which is selected based on the conditions of free passage of ground rail or road transport and specific terrain conditions.

The claimed combination of essential features ensures the achievement of a technical result, which consists in the fact that the placement of containers in the capsule perpendicular to the direction of their movement can significantly increase the turnover of the transport system by increasing the number of transported containers per unit path of the transport system, and the movement of the capsules of the rolling stock on the principle of magnetic overpass provides high speed of movement of goods and complete autonomy of work declared th transport system.

The essence of the claimed technical solution is illustrated by the drawing, on which in FIG. 1 is a side view of a capsule mounted on a trestle; FIG. 2 is a top view of the overpass, in FIG. 3 is a top view of a capsule of the claimed transport system with containers placed therein.

The positions in the drawings indicate:

1 - capsule with aerodynamic fairings;

2 - containers for transportation of goods;

3 - windows for loading containers;

4 - active track structure;

5 - supporting part of the flyover;

6 - console.

The system operates as follows.

Through the windows 3, which can be made in the side or upper wall of the capsule 1, 40 foot containers 2 are loaded into it, which are perpendicular to the axis of movement of the capsule 1. The width of the capsule is 13 m, based on the length of the containers being installed. Given the size of the aerodynamic fairings, the length of the capsule 1 with the containers installed in it in an amount of, for example, 100 pieces, will be approximately 300 m. The height of the capsule 1 is the maximum height of the standard handling sea containers. The levitation and lateral stabilization system, as well as the linear traction motor elements mounted on the lower part of the capsule 1, interacting with the active track structure 4 installed on the console 6, mounted on the supporting part of the flyover 5, provides the capsule moving along the flyover. The height of the flyover is selected based on the conditions of free passage of land rail or road transport, as well as on the basis of specific terrain conditions in the range from 0 to 20 m. The supporting structure of the flyover is reinforced concrete supports 5 with consoles 6 6-9 m high. The distance between the supports 24 -33 m. Reinforced concrete or metal beams with a width of about 1.5 m rest on the ends of consoles 6. The space between the longitudinal beams is free, which ensures the absence of snow and ice on the overpass.

The claimed device can be implemented using well-known equipment, technical and technological means.
