Description

磁気式の車両交通システムMagnetic vehicle traffic system
　走行路に沿って走行する車両を備える磁気式の車両交通システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a magnetic vehicle transportation system including a vehicle that travels along a traveling path.
　磁気式の車両交通システムでは、電磁石により発生する磁気を利用することによって、車両が走行する構成となっている。特許文献１および特許文献２の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、車両が、磁気によって非接触で浮上し、かつリニアモータの磁気や電磁誘導によって非接触で推進するように構成されている。 In a magnetic vehicle traffic system, a vehicle travels by using magnetism generated by an electromagnet. In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the vehicle is configured to float in a non-contact manner by magnetism and to be propelled in a non-contact manner by magnetic or electromagnetic induction of a linear motor.
　また、磁気式の車両交通システムには、いわゆるリムトレイン方式のものが存在する。このリムトレイン方式では、車輪によって支持された車両が、リニアモータにより発生する磁気や電磁誘導を利用することによって非接触で推進するように構成されている。

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-088810 JP-A-4-353068
　しかしながら、特許文献１および特許文献２の車両交通システムとリムトレイン方式の車両交通システムとにおいて用いられる車両には、重量の重い複数のコイルを有するリニアモータが搭載されている。このようなリニアモータは、車両の重量増加の要因となっている。 However, a vehicle used in the vehicle traffic system and the rim train type vehicle traffic system of Patent Documents 1 and 2 is mounted with a linear motor having a plurality of heavy coils. Such a linear motor causes an increase in the weight of the vehicle.
　また、リニアモータは、コイルと磁石との間に比較的大きな隙間を有する構造となっている。そのため、リニアモータの推進駆動効率は悪くなっている。さらに、リニアモータの駆動のためには高電圧を付加する必要がある。このような高電圧によって電磁波ノイズが発生し易くなり、さらには電磁波ノイズを低減するための対策が必要となってくる。 Also, the linear motor has a structure having a relatively large gap between the coil and the magnet. Therefore, the propulsion drive efficiency of the linear motor is deteriorated. Furthermore, it is necessary to apply a high voltage for driving the linear motor. Such high voltage tends to generate electromagnetic noise, and further measures to reduce the electromagnetic noise are required.
　そこで、本発明の課題は、車両を軽量化し、車両の推進駆動の駆動効率を改善し、かつ電磁波ノイズを低減可能な磁気式の車両交通システムを提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic vehicle traffic system capable of reducing the weight of a vehicle, improving the driving efficiency of propulsion driving of the vehicle, and reducing electromagnetic noise.
　課題を解決するために本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムは、磁気によって浮上可能に構成される車体と、走行路に接地する車輪を有するとともに前記車輪を転動させることにより推進する推進駆動車とを備え、前記推進駆動車が前記車体とともに前記走行路に沿って推進可能に構成されている。 In order to solve the problem, a magnetic vehicle traffic system according to the present invention includes a vehicle body configured to be levitated by magnetism, a wheel that contacts a traveling path, and a propulsion drive vehicle that propels the vehicle by rolling the wheel. The propulsion drive vehicle is configured to be propelled along the travel path together with the vehicle body.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記車体と前記推進駆動車との間には、前記推進駆動車の前記走行路に沿った方向への推進力を前記車体に伝達するように構成される連結手段が設けられている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, a propulsive force in a direction along the travel path of the propulsion drive vehicle is transmitted between the vehicle body and the propulsion drive vehicle to the vehicle body. Connecting means are provided.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記推進駆動車の車輪が前記走行路の上面に当接しながら転動可能に構成され、前記車輪を前記走行路の上面に押付けるための磁気を発生させる磁気発生手段が設けられている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, the wheel of the propulsion drive vehicle is configured to be able to roll while contacting the upper surface of the travel path, and generates magnetism for pressing the wheel against the upper surface of the travel path. Magnetic generating means is provided.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記車輪を前記走行路の上面に押付けるための磁気が制御可能に構成されている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, the magnetism for pressing the wheel against the upper surface of the travel path is configured to be controllable.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記推進駆動車の車輪が前記走行路の下面に当接しながら転動可能に構成され、前記推進駆動車を車両上方に浮上させるとともに前記車輪を前記走行路の下面に押し付けるための磁気を発生させる磁気発生手段が、前記推進駆動車に設けられている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system according to the present invention, the wheels of the propulsion drive vehicle are configured to roll while contacting the lower surface of the travel path, the propulsion drive vehicle is levitated above the vehicle, and the wheels are moved to the travel. The propulsion drive vehicle is provided with magnetism generating means for generating magnetism to press against the lower surface of the road.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記推進駆動車を浮上させるとともに前記車輪を前記走行路の下面に押付けるための磁気が制御可能に構成されている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, the propulsion drive vehicle is levitated and the magnetism for pressing the wheels against the lower surface of the travel path is configured to be controllable.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、前記推進駆動車に電力供給手段が設けられ、前記推進駆動車と前記車体とが連結された状態で、前記電力供給手段から供給される電力によって前記車体を浮上させるための磁気が発生可能に構成されている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, the propulsion drive vehicle is provided with power supply means, and the vehicle body is supplied with electric power supplied from the power supply means in a state where the propulsion drive vehicle and the vehicle body are connected. It is configured to be able to generate magnetism for levitating.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムでは、推進駆動可能に構成されるとともに電力供給手段を有する別の車両が設けられ、前記別の車両と前記車体とが連結された状態で、前記電力供給手段から供給される電力によって前記車体を浮上させるための磁気が発生可能に構成され、前記別の車両が前記車体とともに推進可能に構成されている。 In the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, another vehicle having a power supply means configured to be propulsion-driven is provided, and the power supply means is connected to the other vehicle and the vehicle body. It is configured to generate magnetism for levitating the vehicle body by the electric power supplied from the vehicle, and the other vehicle is configured to be able to propel together with the vehicle body.
　本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムによれば、以下の効果を得ることができる。本発明の磁気式の車両交通システムは、磁気によって浮上可能に構成される車体と、走行路に接地する車輪を有するとともに前記車輪を転動させることにより推進する推進駆動車とを備え、前記推進駆動車が前記車体とともに前記走行路に沿って推進可能に構成されている。そのため、前記推進駆動車が前記車体の下部に設けられる推進駆動台車として構成される場合、および、前記推進駆動車が前記車体を設けた車両とは異なる推進駆動車両として構成される場合において、前記推進駆動車の車輪の回転に伴う推進力によって、前記車体を磁気により浮上させながら推進させることができる。従って、車両を推進させるために、従来の磁気式の車両交通システムで用いられたリニアモータが不要になる。その結果、車両を軽量化でき、高電圧を付加する必要がなくなり、省電力化が可能となる。よって、車両の推進駆動効率が改善されることとなる。さらに高電圧の使用に伴って発生していた電磁波ノイズも低減できる。 According to the magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. The magnetic vehicle traffic system of the present invention includes a vehicle body configured to be levitated by magnetism, and a propulsion drive vehicle that has a wheel that comes in contact with a traveling path and that propels the vehicle by rolling the wheel. The driving vehicle is configured to be able to be propelled along the traveling path together with the vehicle body.

Therefore, the linear motor used in the conventional magnetic vehicle traffic system is not required for propelling the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle can be reduced in weight, it is not necessary to apply a high voltage, and power saving can be achieved. Therefore, the propulsion drive efficiency of the vehicle is improved. Furthermore, electromagnetic noise generated with the use of high voltage can be reduced.

　ここで第１推進台車６周辺の構造について説明する。図２は、第１推進台車６周辺の概略を示す正面図である。第１推進台車６の車輪７は、ガイドウェイ２の底部２ａに設けられた第１走行路３の上面を転動可能に構成されている。また、第１推進台車６には、車輪７を駆動するための回転駆動手段として回転モータ８が搭載されている。この回転モータ８の駆動によって、車輪７が第１走行路３の上面を転動することとなる。 Here, the structure around the first propulsion carriage 6 will be described. FIG. 2 is a front view schematically showing the vicinity of the first propulsion carriage 6. The wheels 7 of the first propulsion carriage 6 are configured to roll on the upper surface of the first travel path 3 provided on the bottom 2 a of the guideway 2. In addition, the first propulsion carriage 6 is equipped with a rotation motor 8 as a rotation driving means for driving the wheels 7. By driving the rotary motor 8, the wheel 7 rolls on the upper surface of the first travel path 3.
　第１推進台車６の下部には、吸引用電磁石９が設けられており、この吸引用電磁石９と対向してガイドウェイ２の底部２ａには、吸引用磁石１０が設けられている。吸引用電磁石９と吸引用磁石１０との間に発生する磁気によって、車輪７が第１走行路３の上面に押付けられることとなる。また、第１推進台車６には、吸引用電磁石９と吸引用磁石１０との間に発生する磁気を制御するための制御手段として、制御装置１１が設けられている。そのため、第１車両４の走行状態に合わせて、車輪７を第１走行路３の上面に押付ける力が制御されることとなる。 At the lower part of the first propulsion carriage 6, an attraction electromagnet 9 is provided, and at the bottom 2a of the guideway 2 facing the attraction electromagnet 9, an attraction magnet 10 is provided.

Further, the first propulsion carriage 6 is provided with a control device 11 as a control means for controlling magnetism generated between the attraction electromagnet 9 and the attraction magnet 10. Therefore, the force for pressing the wheel 7 against the upper surface of the first travel path 3 is controlled in accordance with the traveling state of the first vehicle 4.
　第１車両４には、車体４ａと第１推進台車６との連結手段であるサスペンション１２が設けられている。このサスペンション１２は、第１推進台車６に作用する車両上下方向の力を吸収するとともに、第１推進台車６の推進力を車体４ａに伝達可能に構成されている。 The first vehicle 4 is provided with a suspension 12 which is a connecting means between the vehicle body 4a and the first propulsion carriage 6.

Therefore, the first vehicle 4 can further travel stably, and the propulsion drive efficiency of the first vehicle 4 is further improved.
　本発明の第１実施形態によれば、磁気によって第１推進台車６の車輪７を第１走行路３の上面に強く押付けることができる。そのため、第１走行路３の上面と車輪７との当接状態が安定することとなり、さらに第１推進台車６が安定して走行可能となる。よって、さらに第１車両４が安定して走行可能となり、さらに第１車両４の推進駆動効率が改善されることとなる。 According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the wheels 7 of the first propulsion carriage 6 can be strongly pressed against the upper surface of the first travel path 3 by magnetism. Therefore, the contact state between the upper surface of the first travel path 3 and the wheel 7 is stabilized, and the first propulsion carriage 6 can travel stably. Therefore, the first vehicle 4 can further travel stably, and the propulsion drive efficiency of the first vehicle 4 is further improved.
　本発明の第１実施形態によれば、第１推進台車６の車輪７を第１走行路３の上面に押付けるための磁気を制御することによって、第１推進台車６の走行状態に対応して、第１走行路３の上面と車輪７との当接状態を制御することができる。そのため、車輪７と走行路３の上面との当接状態がさらに安定し、さらに第１推進台車６が安定して走行可能となる。よって、さらに第１車両４が安定して走行可能となり、さらに第１車両４の推進駆動効率が改善されることとなる。 According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the magnetism for pressing the wheel 7 of the first propulsion carriage 6 against the upper surface of the first travel path 3 is controlled to correspond to the running state of the first propulsion carriage 6. Thus, the contact state between the upper surface of the first travel path 3 and the wheel 7 can be controlled. Therefore, the contact state between the wheel 7 and the upper surface of the traveling path 3 is further stabilized, and the first propulsion cart 6 can travel stably. Therefore, the first vehicle 4 can further travel stably, and the propulsion drive efficiency of the first vehicle 4 is further improved.
