士將可了解到，本發明可具有额外且 體實施例或無需以下說明中 、有额外- 施。本發明人係細邵設計即可實 歹】車(人車、電聯車等)車廂、 84990 1305185 窗作為具體實施例來作說明，但可充份地理解到，本發明 之系統及裝置將可結合船隻、火箭、或太空船之發射器； 原材料、產品、或其他貨品之輸送機系統；或任何其他型 式之物品等來一同作業。 圖1係顯示用於浮載且加速物體的一系統〗〇。系統丨0係包 含一軌道12、及配置成相對於該軌道而沿著縱向上任—方 向移動的一小車14。軌道12係包含一對支持軌16及一驅動 軌 18。 . 在圖示之具體實施例中，支持執16及驅動軌1 8係由沿軌.（鲁 道12之一長度方向互相間隔的複數個底腳2〇支持。底腳2〇 係如技藝中普遍了解者固定至地面。圖示具體實施例中之 驅動軌1 8係譬如藉由形成於該驅動軌下方緣處之一凸緣而 直接安裝至底腳20。圖示之驅動軌1 8係沿每一底腳2〇長度 之中心設置。然而，熟知此項技藝之人士將可理解到，根 據小車14之特殊設計，可設想將驅動軌丨8定位至支持軌j 6 内侧、外侧、上方及下方的其他位置處。 在圖示具體實施例中，支持軌16係藉由複數個柱件22及| 托架24而連結至底腳20，且沿著該等底腳之相對末端延伸 。然而，熟知此項技藝之人士將可理解到，其如同驅動軌 般’不同之配置亦屬可能。 每一支持軌16之上方表面皆承載著沿其長度方向之一可 作動邵延伸的複數個永久磁鐵26。在圖示具體實施例中， 支持軌16中之永久磁鐵26皆具有相同長度。圖示之永久磁 鐵26係沿軌道12長度方向互相緊靠，以提供充份固定不變 84990 1305185 之一磁力，而使小車14沿該軌道平順地移動。定向永久磁 鐵26，使得沿著各支持軌丨6之每一磁鐵的極性皆與相鄰之 永久磁鐵垂直地對正。本發明人已理解到，並非必須要每 一永久磁鐵26皆對正才可使本發明作動。然而，圖示具體 實施例係作為一較佳具體實施例之一範例。 圖2及圖3係最清楚地圖示出，依據本發明特殊具體實施 例的小車14。小車14係包含一對相對著之侧軌28，該等側 軌係互相間隔，以大體上對正軌道12的支持軌16。在圖示 具體貫施例中，該等側軌係由譬如鋼等之一鐵質材料製成 。具有相同特性之其他材料亦可取代鋼材。 連附至每一側執28底面者係另一組永久磁鐵30，當小車 14嚙合軌道12時，該組永久磁鐵將對正支持軌16上之永久 磁鐵26。在圖tf具體實施例中，侧軌28中之永久磁鐵3〇皆 具有相同長度。支持軌16中之每一永久磁鐵26的長度並不 相同，而在此情況下係較側軌28中之永久磁鐵3〇長度更長 。熟知此項技藝之人士在檢視本揭露案後將可立刻理解到 ，長度不同將可防止支持軌永久磁鐵26中之兩相鄰接缝同 時對正側軌永久磁鐵30中之兩相鄰接縫，因此得避免磁性 齒槽效應轉矩（C〇gglng)。小車14上之永久磁鐵3〇係定向至 ，使其極性與支持軌16永久磁鐵26者相反。結果，小車14 將汗載於軌道12上方。在圖示具體實施例中，連附至侧軌 28之永久磁鐵30係互相緊靠著。然而，本發明人已理解到 ，並非必須要該等永久磁鐵互相接觸才可使小車丨4在軌道 12上平順行駛。 84990 1305185 小車14具有一平台32(圖2)，以承載人員或物體。本發明 可配置成承載貨物或人員，且因此平台32可具有眾多配置 。譬如，平台32可呈一列車車廂或一貨櫃型式。相同地， 可調整平台32及小車14之尺寸，使其僅承載微小物體。 小車14側邊處具有沿該小車長度方向互相間隔的複數個 滾予36。滾子36係定位成，當該小車未與軌道12適當對正 時’該等滾子將接觸支持軌16。滾子36係環繞垂直軸旋轉 ’且因此不致對小車14沿軌道12之運動造成明顯影響。本 發明人已設想到，可由眾多各式裝置取代滾子36，來使小 車14保持沿軌道12中心運動。 如圖3所示，一電池3 8、一馬達40、及一驅動圓盤42係包 覆於該特殊小車1 4内。圖示之電池3 8係與目前汽車中使用 者類似的一 1 2伏特電池。然而，本發明人已理解到，可由 譬如燃料電池等眾多各式電源來取代電池38。 馬達40係藉由一皮帶44而連結驅動圓盤42。然而，本發 明人已相似地理解到，馬達4〇及皮帶44可呈其他配置，只 要驅動圓盤4 2能夠以可控制式旋轉來使小車14相對於軌道 12加速或減速即可。包含一車載控制系統4 5 (圖6 )，以允許 一使用者藉可控制地加速及減速驅動圓盤42之旋轉，來控 制小車14之速度及加速度。 圖4係顯示當與軌道12嚙合時，小車14側軌28上之永久磁 鐵3 0的相對方位。如上所述’永久磁鐵3 〇之極性係與永久 磁鐵2 6之極性相反。此外’在該特殊具體實施例中，永久 磁鐵30之橫向尺寸係大於永久磁鐵26之橫向尺寸。本發明 84990 -11- 1305185 人已理解到，該等永久磁鐵26、30可具有相同尺寸、或永 久磁鐵2 6可大於永久磁鐵3 0。然而，熟知此項技藝之人士 將可理解到，當該等磁鐵係如先前技藝地具有相同寬度時 ，則需要額外的橫向支持及/或控制，以在該等磁鐵之間保 持最佳化的橫向穩定性。相反地，在圖示具體實施例中， 上方磁鐵3 0之磁性底腳係較下方磁鐵2 6者寬，因此當然可 提供额外的橫向穩定性。 一鐵質背墊材料46係定位至支持軌16之永久磁鐵26下方 。如同側軌2 8 —般’鐵質背墊材料4 6可為鋼材或一等效材 料。背墊46係沿侧軌16長度方向延伸。 圖5中最清楚地顯示出，馬達40上之一驅動皮帶輪48將作 動皮帶44，以使連附至驅動圓盤42之一被驅動皮帶輪5〇旋 轉。馬達40係安裝於一橫構件52上，且該橫構件再接著安 裝至小車14。相似地，驅動圓盤42係安裝至橫構件”之一 底面。驅動圓盤42係藉可旋轉式安裝於一對軸承“上，以 相對於小車14旋轉。 如圖7所示，第三軌18具有一頸部％及一凸緣兄。凸緣^ 係安裝至底腳20，以扣持第三軌18相對於軌道12固定地到 正。頸部56係呈延伸軌道12長度方向的—平坦板件。圖开 具體實施例中之驅動圓盤42具有分隔在第三軌18頸部5" -側上的-對磁鐵轉子60。每一磁鐵轉予6〇皆具有一非鐵 質裝架圓盤62 ’且該非鐵質裝架圓盤係由較佳地以軟鋼集 成之一鐵質背㈣盤64所支持。該等裝架圓糾可由銘或 -適當的非磁性複合材料製成，且皆組裝有互相間隔且雖 84990 •12· 1305185 置在環繞著-轉轴68之-圓中的複數個永久磁鐵66，而其 中該轉軸係承載著驅動圓盤42。每一永久磁鐵“皆緊靠： 驅動圓盤42之外側上而抵住各別之背塾圓盤64。相鄰之永 久磁鐵6 6的極性可相反。每—士 _ 母水久磁鐵66接精由一氣隙 而與頸部5 6間隔。 裝架圓盤62係安裝至轉軸68，以與該轉抽一同旋轉。驅 動圓盤42相料頸部56之旋轉將造成永久磁鐵㈣該頸部 之間、在大體上正切該驅動圓盤之一方向上的相對運動、 該切線方向係對正該軌道長度。如工業上一般已知者，一 永久磁鐵與一導電材料之間的相對運動將造成一渦電流， 其可驅策該導電材料追隨該永久磁鐵。然而，纟目前的情 況下，由於頸部56中之導電材料係固定至底腳2〇，因此該 導電材料無法追隨該永久磁鐵。反而，將施加一相等且相 反< 力：r至承載著永久磁鐵66的該小車上。該相反之力量 係使該小車在相反於永久磁鐵66運動的一方向上加速 '缘 是，驅動圓盤42相對於頸部56之受控制旋轉，可使小車14 相對於軌道12加速或減速。 工業上亦已知’可調整的間隙耦合可用來增加及減小永 ^磁鐵66與頸部56之間的合力。本發明人係將美國專利案 第6,005,3 17號；$國專利案第M72,258號；美國專利案第 ，242,832號以引用的方式完全併入本文中，來揭露可用於 調整永久磁鐵66與頸部56之間間隔的各種結構。更，本發 明人已理解到，可使用—單—磁鐵轉子62來代替—對 轉子。 84990 •13- 1305185 本發明之具體實施例具有優於先前技藝輸送系統的眾多 優點。譬如’結合遠等軌道中之對正極性與該鐵質背I材 料，將產生一鈿有力且始終一致的磁力，以允許承載大量 重物且當沿該軌道運輸該重物時允許平滑的運動。相似地 ，結合入該小車側軌中之鐵質背墊材料將提供相同優勢。 此外，包容於該小車上的該磁性驅動圓盤係允許嚴密地 控制、有效率地加速及減速。由於該驅動圓盤並未接觸該 第三軌，因此該兩部件之間無任何磨耗。更，由於該驅動 圓盤係包容於該小車上，因此可獨立地控制每一該小車沿 該执道加速及減速。 圖9及圖9A係顯示依據本發明另一具體實施例的一軌道 112及一小車114。一般而言，圖9中顯示之小車U4及軌道ιΐ2 係與上述及圖i至圖8中所示者相似地作動。然而特別地， 導引系統及驅動系統兩者皆與上述者不同。緣是，以下未 討論之元件、特徵及優點將假設與上述者相似或相同。 在圖不之具體實施例中，一驅動軌丨18係相似於上述者包 含-凸緣158及一頸部156。此外’ 一蓋板157係定位於頸部 156之相對側上，且沿驅動軌118長度延仲。在本特殊具體實 ，例中，頸部156及凸緣158係由鋼製成，而蓋板157係由鋁 製成。然而，本發明人理解到，蓋板ί57可由任何其他導電 材料製成，頸部156可由較佳地為譬如鋼等一鐵質材料的任 何其他材科製成，且凸緣158可由任何適當材料製成。在圖 不具體實施例中’蓋板157中之㈣作為-組下方磁鐵轉子 142的等體’且頸部156中之鋼係作為每-該等相對蓋板 84990 _ 14- 1305185 的一鐵質背板。 如上述具體實施例，下方磁鐵轉子142係定位於驅動軌 11 相對側上’且其可作動而使小車114相對於軌道⑴ 加速及減速。然而，在本特殊具體實施例中，兩對相對著 的下方磁鐵轉子142係定位成，某一對位於另—對沿驅動 軌118的前方（圖10中最清楚地顯示）。每一對下方磁鐵轉予 142皆環繞一下方轉軸168旋轉，以使下方磁鐵轉子142與 驅動軌11 8之間產生相對運動，並且使小車丨14相對於軌道 112加速或減速。 如圖10所示，每一下方轉軸168皆具有固定至其上的一槽 輪159，以使下方磁鐵轉子142反應一水平皮帶161之運動而 旋轉。水平皮帶161係由一中心皮帶輪163驅動，且該中心 皮帶輪再接著由一垂直皮帶丨65驅動。不同於由馬達4〇直接 驅動皮帶的先前具體實施例，本具體實施例中之垂直皮帶 165係由一對上方磁鐵轉子167驅動。該等上方磁鐵轉子〗67 係負擔一上方轉軸169、及驅動垂直皮帶165的一上方皮帶 輪 171。 上方磁鐵轉子167環繞著上方轉軸169的旋轉將造成上方 皮帶輪171旋轉，再接著驅動垂直皮帶165而轉動中心皮帶 輪163。中心皮帶輪163之旋轉將驅動相對著的水平皮帶161 ’且每一該等水平皮帶皆驅動設於成對下方轉軸168其中之 一上的一槽輪159。下方轉軸168之旋轉將造成兩對下方磁 鐵轉子142旋轉。如上所述’磁鐵轉子142相對於驅動軌118 之旋轉將造成小車114相對於軌道112加速或減速。 84990 • 15· 1305185 .载轉子I 67之速度及功率係經由相對著的一對導體轉 子#向運動而調整’其中該等導體轉子係定位成，由 相對側端來面對著上方磁鐵轉子167。導體轉子173、及與 其相對著的上方磁鐵轉予167之功能係與技藝中已知的可 調整間隙鶴合相似。如此，自導體轉予173轉移至上方磁鐵 轉予167的扭力’可藉由改變該兩者之間的—間隙175尺寸 而變化。在圖9所示之具體實施例中，上方轉軸169左側端 ”、耦口間隙1 75係大於該上方軸右側端上|。本發明人理 ” J S耦口係合作驅動上方轉軸169’且可獨立地或聯合_ 地調整相對著㈣合，以使自導體轉子173轉移至上方磁鐵 轉子1 67的扭力增加或減少。 可將一馬達140移向或遠離上方磁鐵轉予167，以調整間 隙⑺。馬達14〇具有自其突出的一驅動轉軸η?，且該驅動 轉軸係連結至導體轉子173。馬達14Q係在—滑動襯套Μ處 文裝至小車m’且該滑動襯套係沿—調整桿m橫向滑動。 滑動概套”9可藉由一雙動作氣缸183而沿調整捍i8i前後 運動。氣缸183係使滑動襯套179沿著調整桿181、在一對内 止動件185與-對相對著的外止動件187之間運動。由於導 體轉子173係安裝於馬達刚上，因此該等馬達之軸向運動 將造成孩等導體轉子軸向運動，而得調整間隙175。 馬達H0係藉由譬如圖9中所示之一開關185等的一致動 器而作動。圖示之開關185係連料譬如為—電池a?的一 電：與馬達140之間，且可致動該等馬達朝任—方向旋轉， 以使小車114相對於軌道112加速或減速。 84990 -16· 1305185 圖11A及圖11B係分別顯示，與驅動軌118分離、及嘴合該 驅動軌的下方磁鐵轉予142。纟一下方磁鐵轉子142皆藉由 乂 接式t裝的-搖擺臂189而鏈結至小車114,以使該磁鐵 裒、.^〇大致水平轴擺動，使得該磁鐵轉子垂直地運動 而與堪動軌m嘴合與分離。一對欖線191係自'绞車193起 而沿γ輪195行進，且由一致動器197控制來調整每一下方 磁鐵轉子142之高度。 可舉升或降下磁鐵轉予142，以補償小車U4之荷重。特別 地，當一荷重較重時，小車114將行駛於軌道112上之較低位 置處，且為了補償，可舉升磁鐵轉子142，反之亦然。 圖12及圖13係|員不依據本發明—具體實施例之一特殊煞 車總成202。圖12中顯示之煞車總成2〇2係處於分離配置， 且在圖13中者係處於嘴合配置。 煞車總成202包含一氣力活塞2〇4、一致動器2〇6、及一對 相對的煞車槓桿208。氣力活塞2〇4係藉一對氣路21〇而連接 至一控制單元212。控制單元212係引導加壓空氣通過該等 氣路210而到達氣力活塞2〇4、或自該氣力活塞通過該等氣 路，以在該氣力活塞中加壓一内室（未顯示）且使—活塞（未 顯示）在該氣力活塞中相對於該氣力活塞作軸向運動。致動 器206係連結至該内活塞，以當該内活塞受控制單元之丨之控 制時，與該内活塞一同運動。 煞車槓桿208係於一對細長形溝槽214處連結至致動器 206。當致動器206向下運動時，煞車槓桿2〇8中之—銷216 將沿溝槽214向内滑動。當銷216沿溝槽214向内運動時，煞 84990 •17· 1305185 車槓桿208將環繞一樞接點2丨8旋轉且煞車墊22〇將旋轉遠 離驅動軌118。當致動器206如圖13中所示者向上運動時，銷 216將沿溝槽214向外運動且煞車槓桿2〇8將環繞樞接點21 8 旋轉，以壓緊煞車緊靠驅動軌118。由於煞車總成2〇2係牢固 地連附至小車114，因此當煞車墊22〇壓緊而緊靠驅動軌ιΐ8 時’ f亥小車將相對於軌道112靜止。 圖14至圖16係顯示一磁鐵總成3〇〇，及配置有這種磁鐵總 成，以便於在困難情況下靈巧操控的一小車314。如圖15最 清楚地顯示，磁鐵總成300係包含有包覆於一滑動車架3〇4-内的一永久磁鐵302，以在一托架306内橫向運動。滑動車 架304係包含一本體308，且具有定位於本體3〇8上方的一鐵 貝背板3 1 0 ’其中該本體係接收面朝下的磁鐵3〇2。永久磁 鐵302係接觸鐵質背板31〇，以增強由該等永久磁鐵施加至 該軌道中相對磁鐵（未顯示）上的力量效果。一對臂3丨2係將 /月動車架304連接至一橫向軸314。配置一槪套316，以允許 /骨動車架304沿橫向軸314長度運動。一對滾子318係藉由各

The inventor of the present invention can realize the fact that the car (human car, electric car, etc.) car, 84990 1305185 window is described as a specific embodiment, but it can be fully understood that the system and device of the present invention will It can be combined with a launcher of a ship, rocket, or spacecraft; a conveyor system for raw materials, products, or other goods; or any other type of item. Figure 1 shows a system for floating loads and accelerating objects. The system 丨 0 includes a track 12 and a carriage 14 configured to move in a longitudinal direction with respect to the track. The track 12 includes a pair of support rails 16 and a drive rail 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the support 16 and the drive rail 18 are supported by a plurality of feet 2 沿 spaced along the length of one of the ruins 12. The foot 2 is as in the art. It is generally known to be fixed to the ground. The drive rail 18 of the illustrated embodiment is directly mounted to the foot 20, for example, by a flange formed at the lower edge of the drive rail. The illustrated drive rail 18 Along the center of each foot 2〇 length, however, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, depending on the particular design of the cart 14, it is contemplated to position the drive trajectory 8 to the inside, outside, of the support rail j6, Other locations above and below. In the illustrated embodiment, the support rail 16 is coupled to the foot 20 by a plurality of post members 22 and | brackets 24 and extends along opposite ends of the legs However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a different configuration is also possible as a drive rail. The upper surface of each support rail 16 carries a plurality of movable extensions along one of its lengths. Permanent magnets 26. In the illustrated embodiment, The permanent magnets 26 in the rails 16 all have the same length. The illustrated permanent magnets 26 abut each other along the length of the rail 12 to provide a magnetic force that is sufficiently fixed to 84590 1305185, so that the trolley 14 is along the track. Moving smoothly. The permanent magnets 26 are oriented such that the polarity of each of the magnets along each of the support rails 6 is aligned perpendicularly to the adjacent permanent magnets. The inventors have appreciated that it is not necessary for each permanent magnet 26 to be The present invention may be practiced as a preferred embodiment. Figures 2 and 3 are the most clearly illustrated, in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention. Cart 14. The cart 14 includes a pair of opposing side rails 28 that are spaced apart from each other to substantially align the rails 16 of the rails 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the sides The rail system is made of a ferrous material such as steel. Other materials having the same characteristics can also replace the steel. The bottom surface attached to each side 28 is another set of permanent magnets 30, when the trolley 14 engages the track 12 When the set of permanent magnets will be aligned The permanent magnets 26 on the rails 16. In the embodiment of Figure tf, the permanent magnets 3〇 in the side rails 28 all have the same length. The length of each of the permanent magnets 26 in the support rails 16 is not the same, and in this case The lower magnets are longer than the permanent magnets 3 in the side rails 28. Those skilled in the art will immediately understand that the lengths will prevent the two adjacent ones of the support rail permanent magnets 26 from being examined. At the same time, the two adjacent seams of the side rail permanent magnets 30 are aligned, so that the magnetic cogging torque (C〇gglng) is avoided. The permanent magnets 3 on the trolley 14 are oriented to the polarity and support. The rail 16 permanent magnets 26 are reversed. As a result, the cart 14 carries the sweat over the track 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the permanent magnets 30 attached to the side rails 28 abut each other. However, the inventors have appreciated that it is not necessary for the permanent magnets to contact each other to allow the carriage 4 to ride smoothly on the track 12. 84990 1305185 Cart 14 has a platform 32 (Fig. 2) to carry people or objects. The present invention can be configured to carry cargo or personnel, and thus the platform 32 can have a multitude of configurations. For example, platform 32 can be in the form of a train compartment or a container. Similarly, the platform 32 and cart 14 can be sized to carry only tiny objects. The side of the cart 14 has a plurality of rollers 36 spaced apart from each other along the length of the cart. The rollers 36 are positioned such that when the cart is not properly aligned with the track 12, the rollers will contact the support rail 16. The rollers 36 are rotated about the vertical axis and thus do not significantly affect the movement of the carriage 14 along the track 12. The inventors have envisioned that the rollers 36 can be replaced by a wide variety of devices to maintain the carriage 14 moving along the center of the track 12. As shown in FIG. 3, a battery 38, a motor 40, and a drive disc 42 are wrapped in the special cart 14. The illustrated battery 3 8 is a 12 volt battery similar to the one currently used in automobiles. However, the inventors have appreciated that the battery 38 can be replaced by a wide variety of power sources, such as fuel cells. The motor 40 is coupled to the drive disc 42 by a belt 44. However, the inventors have similarly understood that the motor 4 turns and the belt 44 can be configured in other configurations as long as the drive disk 42 can be controlled to rotate to accelerate or decelerate the cart 14 relative to the track 12. An onboard control system 45 (Fig. 6) is included to allow a user to control the speed and acceleration of the cart 14 by controllably accelerating and decelerating the rotation of the drive disc 42. Figure 4 shows the relative orientation of the permanent magnets 30 on the side rail 28 of the cart 14 when engaged with the track 12. As described above, the polarity of the permanent magnet 3 相反 is opposite to the polarity of the permanent magnet 26. Further, in this particular embodiment, the transverse dimension of the permanent magnet 30 is greater than the lateral dimension of the permanent magnet 26. The present invention has been understood to mean that the permanent magnets 26, 30 can be of the same size or that the permanent magnets 26 can be larger than the permanent magnets 30. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the magnets have the same width as previously taught, additional lateral support and/or control is required to maintain optimum between the magnets. Lateral stability. Conversely, in the illustrated embodiment, the magnetic foot of the upper magnet 30 is wider than the lower magnet 26, thus of course providing additional lateral stability. An iron backing material 46 is positioned below the permanent magnet 26 of the support rail 16. Like the side rails 28, the iron backing material 46 can be steel or an equivalent material. The back pad 46 extends along the length of the side rails 16. As best shown in Figure 5, one of the drive pulleys 48 on the motor 40 will actuate the belt 44 to cause one of the drive discs 42 to be rotated by the drive pulley 5''. Motor 40 is mounted to a cross member 52 which is in turn mounted to cart 14. Similarly, the drive disc 42 is mounted to one of the bottom members of the cross member. The drive disc 42 is rotatably mounted on a pair of bearings to rotate relative to the cart 14. As shown in Figure 7, the third rail 18 has a neck portion and a flange brother. The flange is attached to the foot 20 to hold the third rail 18 fixedly positive relative to the track 12. The neck portion 56 is a flat plate member extending in the longitudinal direction of the track 12. The drive disc 42 of the embodiment has a pair of magnet rotors 60 spaced apart from the neck 5" side of the third rail 18. Each magnet is turned 6 turns to have a non-ferrous rack disk 62' and the non-ferrous rack disc is supported by an iron back (four) disc 64 preferably formed of mild steel. The mounting circle corrections may be made of inscriptions or suitable non-magnetic composite materials, and are assembled with a plurality of permanent magnets 66 spaced apart from each other while the 84990 • 12· 1305185 is placed in a circle around the --axis 68. Wherein the shaft is carrying the drive disc 42. Each of the permanent magnets "closes: the outer side of the drive disc 42 against the respective back disc 64. The polarity of the adjacent permanent magnets 66 can be reversed. Each _ _ mother water long magnet 66 is connected The precision is separated from the neck portion 56 by an air gap. The mounting disc 62 is attached to the rotating shaft 68 for rotation together with the rotary shaft. The rotation of the driving disc 42 and the neck portion 56 will cause the permanent magnet (4) the neck. The relative movement between one of the drive discs is generally tangentially oriented, the tangential direction aligning the length of the track. As is generally known in the art, relative motion between a permanent magnet and a conductive material will result. An eddy current that urges the conductive material to follow the permanent magnet. However, in the present case, since the conductive material in the neck 56 is fixed to the foot 2, the conductive material cannot follow the permanent magnet. Will apply an equal and opposite < Force: r to the carriage carrying the permanent magnet 66. The opposite force causes the carriage to accelerate in a direction opposite to the movement of the permanent magnet 66. The edge of the drive disc 42 is controlled to rotate relative to the neck 56 to accelerate or decelerate the carriage 14 relative to the track 12. . It is also known in the industry that 'adjustable gap coupling can be used to increase and decrease the resultant force between the permanent magnet 66 and the neck 56. The inventors of the present invention are fully incorporated herein by reference to U.S. Patent No. 6,005,357, the entire disclosure of U.S. Pat. Various structures spaced from the neck 56. Furthermore, the inventors have appreciated that a single-magnet rotor 62 can be used instead of the rotor. 84990 • 13-1305185 Embodiments of the present invention have numerous advantages over prior art delivery systems. For example, combining the positive polarity with the iron back I material in a distant orbit will produce a strong and consistent magnetic force to allow a large amount of weight to be carried and allow smooth motion when transporting the weight along the track. . Similarly, the iron backing material incorporated into the side rails of the cart will provide the same advantages. In addition, the magnetically driven disc contained in the cart allows for tight control, efficient acceleration and deceleration. Since the drive disc does not contact the third rail, there is no wear between the two components. Moreover, since the drive disc is contained in the cart, each of the carts can be independently controlled to accelerate and decelerate along the lane. 9 and 9A show a track 112 and a carriage 114 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. In general, the cart U4 and track ι2 shown in Fig. 9 operate similarly to those shown above and in Figs. i to 8. In particular, however, both the guidance system and the drive system are different from the above. It is to be understood that the elements, features and advantages not discussed below will be assumed to be similar or identical to those described above. In the particular embodiment, a drive rail 18 is similar to the one described above - a flange 158 and a neck 156. Further, a cover plate 157 is positioned on the opposite side of the neck 156 and extends along the length of the drive rail 118. In this particular embodiment, the neck 156 and flange 158 are made of steel and the cover 157 is made of aluminum. However, the inventors have appreciated that the cover ф 57 can be made of any other electrically conductive material, and the neck 156 can be made of any other material, preferably a ferrous material such as steel, and the flange 158 can be of any suitable material. production. In the non-embodimentary embodiment, (four) of the cover plate 157 serves as the body of the magnet rotor 142 below the group and the steel in the neck 156 acts as a ferrous material per the opposite cover plate 84990 _ 14- 1305185. Backboard. As with the specific embodiment described above, the lower magnet rotor 142 is positioned on the opposite side of the drive rail 11 and is actuatable to accelerate and decelerate the carriage 114 relative to the track (1). However, in this particular embodiment, two pairs of opposing lower magnet rotors 142 are positioned such that a pair is located in front of the other pair of drive rails 118 (shown most clearly in Figure 10). Each pair of lower magnet turns 142 rotates about a lower shaft 168 to cause relative movement between the lower magnet rotor 142 and the drive rail 11 8 and to accelerate or decelerate the carriage 14 relative to the track 112. As shown in Fig. 10, each of the lower rotating shafts 168 has a sheave 159 fixed thereto to rotate the lower magnet rotor 142 in response to the movement of a horizontal belt 161. The horizontal belt 161 is driven by a center pulley 163 which is in turn driven by a vertical belt 丨 65. Unlike the previous embodiment in which the belt is directly driven by the motor 4, the vertical belt 165 in this embodiment is driven by a pair of upper magnet rotors 167. The upper magnet rotor 67 bears an upper shaft 169 and an upper pulley 171 that drives the vertical belt 165. Rotation of the upper magnet rotor 167 about the upper shaft 169 will cause the upper pulley 171 to rotate, and then the vertical belt 165 will be driven to rotate the center pulley 163. Rotation of the center pulley 163 will drive the opposing horizontal belt 161' and each of the horizontal belts will drive a sheave 159 provided on one of the pair of lower shafts 168. Rotation of the lower shaft 168 will cause the two pairs of lower magnet rotors 142 to rotate. Rotation of the magnet rotor 142 relative to the drive rail 118 as described above will cause the carriage 114 to accelerate or decelerate relative to the track 112. 84990 • 15· 1305185. The speed and power of the carrier rotor I 67 are adjusted by moving relative to a pair of conductor rotors # where the conductor rotors are positioned such that the opposite side ends face the upper magnet rotor 167 . The function of the conductor rotor 173 and the opposing upper magnet to the 167 is similar to the adjustable clearance crane known in the art. Thus, the torque 'transferred from the conductor transfer 173 to the upper magnet to the 167' can be varied by changing the size of the gap 175 between the two. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the left end of the upper rotating shaft 169, the coupling gap 175 is greater than the upper end of the upper shaft. The inventor of the present invention "JS coupling cooperatively drives the upper rotating shaft 169' and can The opposing (four) joints are independently or jointly adjusted to increase or decrease the torque of the self-conductor rotor 173 to the upper magnet rotor 1 67. A motor 140 can be moved to or away from the upper magnet to adjust the gap (7). The motor 14A has a drive shaft η? protruding therefrom, and the drive shaft is coupled to the conductor rotor 173. The motor 14Q is attached to the carriage m' at the sliding bushing 且 and the sliding bushing is slid laterally along the adjustment lever m. The sliding profile "9" can be moved back and forth along the adjustment 捍i8i by a double-acting cylinder 183. The cylinder 183 is such that the sliding bushing 179 is along the adjustment lever 181, opposite the pair of inner stoppers 185 and - The movement between the stoppers 187. Since the conductor rotors 173 are mounted on the motor, the axial movement of the motors will cause axial movement of the conductor rotors of the child, and the gap 175 is adjusted. The motor H0 is shown by Actuated by an actuator such as switch 185 shown in Fig. 9. The switch 185 is shown as being connected to a battery such as a battery a: and the motor 140, and the motor can be actuated. The direction is rotated to accelerate or decelerate the carriage 114 relative to the track 112. 84990 -16· 1305185 Figures 11A and 11B show the lower magnets 142 separated from the drive rails 118 and the nozzles of the drive rails. A lower magnet rotor 142 is coupled to the trolley 114 by means of a spliced t-swing arm 189, so that the magnet 裒, 〇 〇 substantially horizontal axis swings, so that the magnet rotor moves vertically The movable rail m is closed and separated. The pair of 191 lines are from the ' winch 193 and along the γ The 195 travels and is controlled by the actuator 197 to adjust the height of each of the lower magnet rotors 142. The magnets can be lifted or lowered 142 to compensate for the load of the cart U4. In particular, when a load is heavy, small The vehicle 114 will travel at a lower position on the track 112, and for compensating, the magnet rotor 142 can be lifted, and vice versa. Figures 12 and 13 are not in accordance with the present invention - a particular embodiment of a special brake 202. The brake assembly 2〇2 shown in Fig. 12 is in a separate configuration, and is in a mouth configuration in Fig. 13. The brake assembly 202 includes a pneumatic piston 2〇4, an actuator 2〇6, And a pair of opposing brake levers 208. The pneumatic pistons 2〇4 are connected to a control unit 212 by a pair of air passages 21〇. The control unit 212 directs pressurized air through the air passages 210 to the pneumatic pistons 2〇. 4. or from the pneumatic piston through the gas passages to pressurize an internal chamber (not shown) in the pneumatic piston and cause a piston (not shown) to move axially relative to the pneumatic piston in the pneumatic piston An actuator 206 is coupled to the inner piston to When the piston is controlled by the control unit, it moves together with the inner piston. The brake lever 208 is coupled to the actuator 206 at a pair of elongated grooves 214. When the actuator 206 moves downward, the brake lever 2 The pin 216 will slide inwardly along the groove 214. When the pin 216 moves inwardly along the groove 214, the 煞84990 • 17· 1305185 car lever 208 will rotate around a pivot point 2丨8 and the brake pad 22〇 will rotate away from the drive rail 118. When the actuator 206 moves upward as shown in Figure 13, the pin 216 will move outward along the groove 214 and the brake lever 2〇8 will rotate around the pivot point 21 8 , The drive rail 118 is pressed against the brake. Since the brake assembly 2〇2 is securely attached to the trolley 114, the carriage will be stationary relative to the track 112 when the brake shoe 22 is pressed against the drive rail ΐ8. Figures 14 through 16 show a magnet assembly 3A and a cart 314 equipped with such a magnet assembly for easy handling in difficult situations. As best shown in Figure 15, the magnet assembly 300 includes a permanent magnet 302 that is wrapped within a sliding frame 3A4- for lateral movement within a bracket 306. The sliding frame 304 includes a body 308 and has an iron backing plate 3 1 0 ' positioned above the body 3〇8, wherein the system receives the magnets 3〇2 facing downward. The permanent magnet 302 contacts the iron backing plate 31A to enhance the force exerted by the permanent magnets on the opposing magnets (not shown) in the track. A pair of arms 3丨2 connect the /month moving frame 304 to a transverse shaft 314. A sleeve 316 is configured to allow the / bone frame 304 to move along the length of the transverse axis 314. A pair of rollers 318 are coupled to the slide frame 304 by respective mounting bars 320. The rollers 318 are held by their compression bearings 322 to their respective mounting bars 32, and the mounting bars are then held by the respective nuts 324 to the sliding frame 304. The compression bearing 322 allows the zipper 318 to freely rotate about the mount bar 320. A sleeve 326 positioned between the body 308 and the roller 318 maintains a desired spacing between the body and the roller. As shown in Fig. 16, the magnet assembly 300 is attached to the longitudinal structural member 3 28 on the cart 3 1 3 by the bracket 3 〇 6 . The transverse shafts 3 14 are oriented generally 84990 18· 1305185 perpendicular to the longitudinal structural members 328 to freely traverse the plane (four). _ into 3GG relative to the small winding-edge angle, the military: the car shown in the 313 series is configured to be looped two::: This, the magnet assembly 3. ° has been transported horizontally, she became a second. Since each magnet assembly fan can move freely with other magnets, the roller 318 can be mounted with the w:: track type as needed. It can be moved by a spring or other compression magnet assembly into a rail that can be moved along a straight length. Similarly, the magnet assembly 3〇〇 can be configured to move in a restricted manner. Figure 17 is a schematic illustration of the present embodiment of the carriage 313 configured to move along a straight length track. The magnet 3() 2 is similar to the longitudinal longitudinal structural member, allowing the trolley; 313 to move along the orbit with a demand alignment. 18 to 21 show a car and an I system according to a further embodiment of the present invention, which are described in a simplified and simplified manner, and which belong to the aforementioned range of the month and/or which have appeared in the previous drawings. The parts are omitted and will not be described again. As generally shown in Figures 18 and 19, a carriage in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is provided with a drive system 4 for maintaining proper alignment of the drive discs with the drive rails during cornering. A multi-track drive rail system 402 for providing additional acceleration and deceleration; and an improved support rail system 404 for construction and maintenance. The drive system 400 is mounted on a cart by a pair of opposed carriage frames 4〇6 and a sliding suspension bracket 408. As explained in more detail below, the components of the drive system 400 are configured to be integrally moved laterally with respect to the cart at the junction of the three connectors. 84990 • 19· 1305185 The sliding frame 4〇6 has been described in detail above with respect to the sliding frame 300. The edge is 'here no more detailed description of the details of the sliding frame 406. The sliding suspension bracket 408 includes an upper mounting bracket 410 and a lower yoke assembly 412. The fixed bracket 410 is configured to be attached to one of the structural members of the cart by a link or the like. The lower yoke assembly 412 is slidably mounted to the lateral shaft 414 for movement relative to the fixed bracket 41, and thus relative to the carriage. As a result, as will be described below, the entire drive system 4 will be freely laterally movable in relation to the carriage, regardless of the alignment and positioning of the carriage on the track, allowing the drive system and drive. The rail system 402 maintains a desired alignment. In the particular embodiment of the drawings, a pair of magnet rotors 416 are suspended from suspension brackets 4A by yoke assembly 412. The opposite lower end of the yoke assembly 412 is attached to the opposite end of one of the shafts 418 of the magnet rotor 416. The magnet is rotated 416 to the shaft 418' by a plurality of compression bearings 422 (Fig. 19) or the like. Rotating integrally around the shaft. The suspension brackets 4〇8 and the assembly 412 are still aimed at the carriage during operation to maintain the magnet rotor 416 in a fixed vertical position relative to one of the carriages. - The magnet rotor 416 is secured to the remainder of the drive system 400 by a rigid frame 424 and a cross member 426. The cross member 426 extends transversely between the two opposing carriage frames 4G6 and is attached to the frame 424 at a full width to center position along the drive system. The cross member 426 is rigidly secured to the frame 424' and the frame is rigidly secured to the spindle 418 to maintain a fixed physical relationship between the members. The inventors have appreciated that the drive actuator system 402 can be positioned along other bits 84990-20-1305185 across the width of the support system 404, and thus the magnet rotor 416 will be attachable to the cross member at other locations. Or even configurable to not include a cross member. A motor 428 is attached to the frame 424 and is coupled to the magnet rotor 416 by a belt 430. Belt 430 can have a toothed shape for engaging a complementary tooth profile on one of pulley 432 (FIG. 19) on motor 428 and one of pulleys 434 (FIG. 19) on magnet rotor 416 to reduce slippage in the system. The possibility. A control system 436 is coupled to the motor to controllably drive the magnet rotor 4 16 during operation. - Each magnet transfer 416 has a plurality of permanent magnets 420 circumferentially positioned around its circumference. As noted above, the magnet rotor 416 is positioned such that a lower portion of one of the rotors is located within the drive rail system 4〇2. The drive train system 402 of the drawings includes three parallel conductor rails 438, each of which is made of a conductive material such as aluminum. A sliding frame 406 disposed on the opposite end of the cross member 426 is coupled to the cart by a transverse vehicle 440, such as shown and described in connection with the drawings in a prior embodiment. As discussed in detail herein, the sliding frame 406 will allow the attached system to laterally & when the car is moved sideways relative to the track, in which case the magnet is allowed to be transferred. 416 maintains a desired position relative to conductor track 438. The motion of the drive system 400 relative to the car can be understood by reviewing Figure 16. The embodiment shown in Figures 18 and 19 includes three parallel conductor tracks 438 positioned along the center of the track width. The magnets are transferred between the 416 series of interwoven fiber conductors 43 8 . As a result, each of the permanent magnets 42 作用 acts on two adjacent conductor rails 438 to effectively produce an acceleration or deceleration force that may be generated by the 84990 - 21 - Ϊ 305 185 when the conductor rail is only twice. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the two magnet rotors 41 6 are simultaneously applied to the three conductor rails 438 - each of which is positioned between the two rails - which effectively enables a single rotor and a The power generated by the single-track is four times. The relative positioning of the support rail system 4〇4 to the conductor rails 438 will cause the magnets to be transferred 416 to remain in the operational alignment between each of the conductor rails. The inventors have appreciated that a number of different configurations can be used to increase the force required for the rotor to accelerate and decelerate the trolley, and that the conductor rails can be placed at any point along the width of the track, Or even on the outside of the track. Figures 20 and 21 show a slide frame 4 〇 6, and a support rail 442 of the support rail system 4 〇 4 . Similar to the above-described slide frame 3'', the slide frame 406 includes a plurality of upper arms 444, an upper permanent magnet 446, a plurality of guide bars 448, and a plurality of guide rollers 45A. The upper arm (10) holds the lateral shaft 440 and allows the sliding frame 4〇6 to move laterally with respect to the carriage. To aid in this movement, the joint between the two members includes a bushing or other friction reducing element. The guide rods 448 are extended downwardly on opposite sides of the support rail 442 during the operation and the guide rollers are mounted to the guide rods by the retracting bearings 4 52 or the like. The guide roller 450 can be freely rotated around the guide rod 448 to reduce the force between the slide frame 406 and the support rail 442 during the action. The entire support rail 442 can be formed as a pre-manufactured assembly. , comprising a base 454, a column of permanent magnets 456, and an outer cover d, such that the entire support rail 442 is fabricated in the factory and then only needs to be placed in position and mounted to a new structure or foundation, Or - the existing train track can be 84990 • 22 - 1305185. In the specific embodiment of the drawings, the support rail 442 is spliced to a lower support member 460. The inventors have appreciated that it can be manufactured by other means. And installing the support rail 442' without departing from the spirit of the present invention. A body 454 of the embodiment shown in the drawings is a rectangular cross-section structural steel, and thus, it can be used as a similar one to the above. Iron fastenings. Please It is understood that the system can include a separate iron backing plate positioned between the base 454 and the permanent magnet 456, however, the fabrication of such a configuration requires additional material and labor. The illustrated base 454 is rectangular in cross section. And its main axis extends vertically to provide maximum bending resistance. It will be appreciated that the size, shape, orientation, and other details of the base 454 can be varied generally as shown in FIG. 22 without disengagement. The present invention is shown in the drawings. The outer cover 458 is shaped to extend from the side of the base 454 to the opposite side thereof to cover the permanent magnet 456. Thus, the outer cover 458 can assist in holding the permanent magnet 456 In the desired position, and to assist in its positioning. Further, the outer ""458 prevents oil, debris, or other foreign matter from contacting the permanent magnet 456. The outer surface of the outer cover 458 may have a Teflon runner 462 or Other features to further reduce the friction effect between the support rail 442 and the guide roller 45A. 1 , - As shown in Figure 21, portions of the support rail 442 can be fabricated as a single assembly, and then Only support such as 琢Partially installed to the contractor on the structure or existing train track, installed in the actual location. In the factory, the branch = 442 can be manufactured with features such as bolt holes 464 to help these parts Installed in a physical location. This feature will allow many critical manufacturing operations to be performed in the environment of the manufacturing plant, rather than in the actual location, to reduce the time and cost of installing the 84990-23- 1305185; for example, compressing the permanent magnets described above At 456, it takes a lot of force to force the adjacent magnets and hold the magnets in place. This can be done more quickly and efficiently in a manufacturer's environment. Figure 22 shows a modified embodiment of a support rail 542 that includes a base 554 and a permanent magnet 556. In this particular embodiment, the base 554 is made of a tubular member having a circular cross section. With this configuration, a support rail 542 that does not require a side runner can be fabricated, and in order to reduce this The friction in the system, the base 554 can be coated with a coating or other coating that reduces friction. - The profile of the base 554 is essentially such that it is in contact with only a small number of guide rollers. This will further reduce the friction between adjacent elements. 23 through 25 illustrate a door/window system 600 in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention. System 6A includes a door 6〇2 or window, or the like, suspended from track 604 and configured to slidably open and close H6G2 along the track for use in a warehouse, hangar, Or any type of door of other construction, however, the invention is particularly useful for cumbersome doors based on the inherent features of the present invention that reduce friction. The track 6〇4 can be configured in a manner similar to one of the plurality of tracks or tracks illustrated in the above description or corresponding drawings. The track 604 shown in Fig. 2A has a plurality of permanent magnets 656, an outer cover 658, and a plurality of sliding members as shown in Fig. 2B. The rail can be mounted to a wall or ceiling by a link such as bracket 666. 84990 -24· j3〇5185 The door 602 is suspended from the track 6〇4 by a plurality of frames 606. As with the sliding frame discussed above, the frame 6〇6 includes an upper magnet 646, a plurality of guiding rods 648, and a plurality of guiding rollers 65 〇 to allow the frame to be along with a minimum friction The length of the track 604 moves smoothly. The door 602 is attached to the frame 6〇6 by a plurality of curved link sets 6〇8, wherein the curved link set of the child is configured to suspend the door directly below the track. Therefore, the weight of the door 602 can exert a downward force on the frame 6〇6 without generating any torque. Thus, the frame 6〇6 can be designed to support only the weight of the door 602 downward. The number of frames 6〇6 for supporting the door 6〇2, which may be based on the weight of the child door, the number and size of the upper magnets 646 in each of the frames, and the application of each of the magnets It depends on strength. The frame 606 of the illustrated display can be evenly spaced from each other along the length of the track in the direction of the track 604. The Applicant understands that various modifications and changes can be made to the specific embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, one, two or more drive discs can be used to manufacture the cart' to accelerate and decelerate the cart independently or collectively in the forward and reverse directions. Similarly, more or fewer support rails may be included to modify the float force and weight distribution characteristics of a particular system. As described above, the drive disc and the third rail can be positioned in other positions, such as above the cart to become "suspended" I.
