- the invention relates to an electromagnetic suspension arrangement for a body which is movable along a' ferromagnetic rail such as an electromagnetic suspension railway or the like.
- a repelling force is produced for lifting the vehicle by opposing currents of two mutually parallel conductor loops.
- a primary loop is mounted on the vehicle through which current flows and which induces voltages in secondary short-circuit loops arranged one behind the other on the guide structure; these voltages drive constant currents at higher speeds. At very low speeds or when the conveyance is at standstill, suspension can no longer be achieved with this arrangement.
- the electromagnetic supporting arrangement of the invention electromagnetically supports a body movable along a roadway such as for an electromagnetically suspended railway or the like. It is a feature of the supporting arrangement of the invention to provide at least one elongated conductor coil mounted on the body.
- the conductor coil has a mid portion and respective end portions integral with and bent away from the mid portion;
- the mid portion includes two mutually adjacent, longitudinally extending conductor segments.
- ferromagnetic rail means is mounted on the roadway and disposed between the segments for coacting with the conductor coil to develop electromagnetic forces for supporting the body relative to the rail means.
- the ferromagnetic rail means can be in the form of a ferromagnetic rail.
- stabilization in one plane is achieved by providing two conductor coil arrangements displaced by The one conductor coil arrangement serves here to keep the vehicle in a stable suspension state downward and upward, and the other conductor coil serves for lateral stabilization, for example, to compensate for centrifugal and lateral forces in curves and straight sections of the line.
- the invention provides a substantial simplification over the electromagnetic supporting arrangements because control devices for the lifting and/or guidance forces are not required.
- a simpler system of conductor coils suffices for the height and lateral stabilization.
- the first-mentioned embodiment is provided with a ferromagnetic contoured member disposed in the magnetic field of the conductor coil and mounted on the body.
- the contoured member is positioned on the body with respect to the rail means so as to define therewith an air gap having a width as small as possible consistent with free movement of the body along the roadway whereby the contoured member and the rail means coact to laterally stabilize the body relative to the rail means and to develop lifting forces to augment the electromagnetic forces developed by the coaction of the rail means and the conductor coil.
- ferromagnetic return-path members corresponding to respective ones of the segments of the conductor coil can be provided. These segments have respective longitudinally extending outer side surfaces facing away from the ferromagnetic rail means and each of the return-path members is configured so as to surround at least one of the surfaces of the corresponding segment.
- the lateral stabilization and additional lift can be achieved according to another alternate embodiment by configuring one of the return-path members of at least one of the segments so as to comprise first and second portions.
- the first portion is mounted on the body and the second portion is a ferromagnetic, raillike contoured member mounted on the raodway so as to define an air gap with the first portion whereby the contoured member and the first portion coact to laterally stabilize the body relative to the contoured member and to develop lifting forces to augment the electromagnetic forces developed by the coaction of the rail means and the conductor coil.

- an elongated superconducting conductor loop 1 is arranged on the body K to be moved and is bent at both ends.
- the conductor loop 1 has terminals 2 and 3 and is provided with electrical and thermal insulation 4.
- the terminals 2 and 3 are supplied with direct-current voltage.
- the conductor loop 1 is supported or repelled magnetically on or from the ferromagnetic armature rail 5, which is then situated between the long sides a and b of the conductor loop 1.
- the invention is based here on the consideration that the conductor loop and the rail act like a currentcarrying coil into which a ferromagnetic body is pulled and remains there in a stable position. If the conductor loop with current flowing through it is removed from the ferromagnetic armature rail, attraction forces occur perpendicular to the plane formed by the two long sides a, b of the conductor loop 1; these forces are directed upwardly and downwardly and, in a certain range, are approximately proportional to the excursion.
- a vehicle 6 is driven by a linear motor 9,10.
- Two coils formed by conductor loops 1 are arranged on the underside of the vehicle body.
- Concrete foundations 7 are mounted on the roadway.
- laminated ferromagnetic rails 5 are mounted on the foundation 7.
- the rails 5 are situated in the plane of symmetry of the coils for the condition wherein the vehicle 6 is in suspension, the vehicle 6 being considered weightless for the time being. If superconducting coils are used, a very strong magnetic field builds up in the coils and magnetizes the ferromagnetic rail 5. With deflection from the plane of symmetry by the weight of the vehicle, the conductor loops 1 of the coils drop to the extent that the magnetic forces produced hold the balance to the weight of the vehicle. The vehicle 6 is therefore supported by the magnetic forces.
- the lateral guidance of the vehicle 6 is provided by a similarly configured system that is arranged so as to be disposed at an angle of rotation of relative to the suspension system.
- steel rails 5 are again disposed within magnet coils.
- the steel rails 5 are supported by fastening elements 8.
- each of the coils attempts to regain the equilibrium position in which the steel rails 5 are situated in the center of the coil. Also for lateral (y) deflection, corresponding guidance forces are thus produced.
- the geometry of the conductor loops 1 and the steel rails 5 such that the forces produced in the event of a deflection are considerably larger in the direction of the coil axis than the forces which occur in the plane of the coils for a lateral displacement.
- the ratio of the width of the rail 5 to the spacing (air gap) of a long side of a coil 1 is selected, for example, to be greater than 3 1.
- the conductor loop 1 adjustable, also in operation, by means of an adjusting device 13 on the side of the vehicle 6.
- the conductor loops 1 arranged at the vehicle are provided with ferromagnetic return-path bodies 11, which surround in part the two long sides a and b of the conductor loops.
- the required excitation power for the coils can thereby be reduced substantially. If superconducting coils are used, very small energy storage on the vehicle will suffice.
- the arrangement shown in FIG. 4 includes a return-path body that is arranged only at the two outer long sides of the conductor loop 1. This arrangement leads to lower transversal forces in the case of asymmetry.
- sliding devices or rollers 12 which may optionally be made adjustable, are attached at the coil bodies or at the magnetic return path bodies.
- the lifting system formed by at least one conductor loop I and the rail 5 can be combined through a simple construction havingfew structural elements with guidance means in the form of a sliding system or a system of rollers 12 particularly adjustable rollers, for the purpose of lateral guidance.
- guidance means in the form of a sliding system or a system of rollers 12 particularly adjustable rollers, for the purpose of lateral guidance.
- suitable adjusting means can be provided as indicated in FIG. 4 with reference numeral 20.
- the ferromagnetic rails 5 are mounted on support brackets 8.
- a ferromagnetic contour member is arranged in the magnetic field of the bent conductor loop I and is brought into such a relation to the ferromagnetic rail 5 that it is separated from the rail 5 by an air gap as small as possible.
- the ferromagnetic profile member 20 is advantageously made to have the same width as the ferromagnetic rail 5 and is arranged symmetrically underneath the ferromagnetic rail 5. In addition to achieving lateral stabilization, the loadcarrying capacity of the supporting arrangement is thereby increased.
- the contour member 20 is preferably arranged so that it can be adjusted in a guide 21 of the vehicle 6.
- the setting can be made permanent by a locking device 22 or can be made continuously adjustable during operation by means of an arrangement 23 for generating an air cushion.
- a minimum air gap between the ferromagnetic profile member 20 and the ferromagnetic rail 5 can be assured by rollers 24 or the like.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a portion of an upright railway equipped with an electromagnetic supporting guidance system which includes the conductor loop 1 provided with a magnetic return member 11 comprising a first portion mounted on the body 6 and a second portion on the roadway.
- the second portion of the return member 11 is formed by a stationary, ferromagnetic rail-like contour member 25 which is mounted on brackets 8 of the roadbed.
- the ferromagnetic contour member 25 is advantageously arranged symmetrically with respect to two parts of the first portion of the return member 11.
- the first portion of the ferromagnetic return member 11 is adjustable via a locking device 22 or continuously adjustable by adjusting means in the form of a suspension guide such as an air cushion guide 23.
- the first portion of the return member 11 is guided on the conductor loop 1 for example, by roller guide means comprising rollers 26 on the rolling surfaces 27.
