Abstract

The innovative mobility system aims to give a sustainable solution to the demand for urban and suburban mobility of individual vehicles, by creating a straight suspended road, an alternative to the road network, which allows the transport of cars, vehicles / freight wagons and cabins through particular departure and arrival stations, overcoming all obstacles such as rivers, road infrastructures, terrain differences, etc., and adapting to the orographic conditions. The common cars, by means of an original conveyor trolley (T), are hooked to the transport system with two carrying ropes (5) and one towing one (4), by direction of travel. Each car is equipped with internal electronic devices (28) which, interfacing in WiFi with a control and management unit (1a), manage driving autonomously during all the phases of departure / entry and arrival / exit of the suspended transport, as well as while driving autonomous in the dedicated lanes connected to the stations (2) of the suspended street. The transport system is integrated by vehicles and electric wagons for the transport of mini freight containers which can be equipped with a telescopic device (a, a1) for connection to the electricity grid for contact with a single-cable overhead line (b) and with an earth strap (c), which power the batteries during the overland route along dedicated lanes for the connection between the departure / arrival station (2, 2a) with parking lots (34) and remote factories (35) for loading and unloading goods. The lanes (17b) are dedicated to autonomous driving managed by the operations center via a Wi-Fi bridge with the chassis and internal electronic control units of the vehicles. The industrial invention constitutes an original mobility system integrated with the dedicated road network which, unlike the three- cable gondolas dedicated to the collective transport of people, transports any type of individual car through an original trolley that is attached to the suspended road. The system is effective for ease of use and application in all urban and extra-urban contexts, constituting a sustainable alternative to traditional transport infrastructures with obvious economic and environmental impact advantages.

INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEM BY SUSPENDED ROUTE WITH CABLES FOR

CARS, CABINS AND CARRIERS OF GOODS

DESCRIPTION

The present invention constitutes a variant of two industrial inventions previously presented by the undersigned inventor which constitute the state of the art of reference: 1) application No. CT2014A000003 (102014902238734), with EPO research report No. I045393 positive for 3/3 requirements for all 4 claims submitted; 2) application No. CT2014A0000021 (PCT / IT2015 / 000286), with EPO research report No. 1051842 positive for 3/3 requirements for all the 6 claims presented.

In the previous questions, the suspended transport system is dedicated to the traction exclusively of light electric vehicles by means of special devices placed above the passenger compartment: in the first case an electromechanical vice is hooked to the pulling rope of the system, while in the second case two pulleys are activated from an additional electric motor they slide on two fixed carrying ropes.

The present invention, on the other hand, on the model of the existing three-wire cableways for the transport of collective cabins, is dedicated to the suspended transport of common cars (endothermic, electric or hybrid) and electric or hybrid vehicles / wagons for the transport of goods which, by means of a original conveyor trolley, they are hooked to the transport system with two load-bearing ropes and one towing one, for each direction of travel.

According to the cases, the plant can be hybrid for the transport of cars and collective cabins.

The state of the art today consists of:

- on the suspended route, in cableway installations or the like, which allow the transport of cabins, chair lifts, etc. forming an integral part of the plant itself;

- for cars, in endothermic, hybrid and electric drive vehicles, equipped with electronic devices (control unit, distance detectors) that manage speed, stop and steering, even in autonomous driving with GPS connection.

The present invention application therefore differs from the previous questions n.CT2014A000003 and n.CT2014A0000021 reserved exclusively for the mobility of electric vehicles, as well as from the existing cable cars reserved for the exclusive transport of collective cabins, for novelty and inventive activity for the following different characteristics : a) the proposed suspended mobility system is dedicated to any type of car for 4-wheel transport of people and things with regular mass and size;

b) for the original car transporter trolley that allows it to be suspended from the ground;

c) due to the special composition of the departure and arrival stations of the suspended route, consisting of related hooking and suspension equipment of cars not only of cabins; d) for the integration of the suspended road with the entry / exit road network dedicated to mobility, also autonomous without driver;

e) for the particular electronic devices with which cars and vehicles are equipped, which interface in Wi-Fi with the operational control and management center of the departure / arrival station which manages the entire mobility process of both vehicles and infrastructure connected in maximum security.

The innovative mobility system aims to give a sustainable solution to the demand for urban and suburban mobility of individual vehicles, e.g. between urban centers (A and B), through the construction of a straight suspended road (1), alternative to the road network, which allows the transport of cars (V1 , V2), vehicles / freight wagons (V3) and cabins (V4 ) through particular departure and arrival stations (2), overcoming all obstacles such as rivers, road infrastructures, terrain differences, etc., and adapting to the orographic conditions. - FIG.1 The suspended route is made up of steel frames with brackets (3) which support two fixed carrying ropes (5) and a hauling rope with closed motion (4) with steel strands, for the two directions of travel, at a variable ground clearance. The frames are arranged along the direction of the straight road, at a variable reciprocal distance depending on the orographic conditions of the terrain crossed and the maximum span loads. - FIG.2

Each car is equipped with an electronic system that independently manages its driving during all the phases of departure / entry and arrival / exit of the suspended transport, as well as during the journey in autonomous driving in the dedicated lanes connected to the stations of the suspended street. This system consists of an electronic control unit (28), connected via Wi-Fi, through a shielded antenna (28a) applied to the car chassis, to the centralized control and management unit (1a) inside the departure station / arrival. The electronic control unit, by means of three infrared detectors, one front (28b) and two lateral (28c) arranged on the sides in correspondence of the transverse axis of the center of gravity of the masses of the car, detects the distances from the front vehicle and from the side barriers of the entry / exit lanes and, interfacing with the control system, manages the speed, steering and possibly stopping of the car / vehicle, intervening electronically on the steering box, on the brake pump, on the accelerator or directly on the electric motor in the case of electric and hybrid vehicles. The lower bodies of hybrid cars and electric vehicles are equipped with two electrical contacts for phase (29) and neutral (30) connected to the battery pack which are recharged during the docking phase with direct current supplied through the contact of the terminals (31) of the conveyor trolley (T) hooked to the pulling rope (4) under tension and to one of the carrying ropes (5) for the neutral. - FIG.3.

The conveyor trolley (T) consists of a tubular steel load-bearing frame made up of: a lower frame with two (6a) or four arms (6) capable of rotating, by means of electromechanical rotors (11), and of extending transversely, by means of electromechanical pumps (12); from a transverse upper frame (10) coupled to the lower one by means of two / four rotors (11); by a vertical arm (7) hooked in the lower part to the center of gravity of the upper frame (10); by a sliding hooking trolley (8), attached via a flat friction hinge (9) to the upper terminal of the vertical arm (7), made up of four pairs of shock-absorbing pulleys (13) suitable for sliding on two load-bearing cables (5 ) upper parallel bars and an electromechanical vice (14), equipped with a hooking / unhooking device (14a), suitable for automatically clamping and unhooking a pulling rope (4) placed in a lower and central position with respect to the pair of carrying ropes.

Two photoelectric cells (15) and two or four rubber spacers (16) equipped with electrical sensors are positioned on the internal sides in the center of the transverse axes of the two or four rotating arms of the lower frame (6,6a). four electrical sensors are also arranged in the lower terminals (33). All electrical and electromechanical devices are managed by the control and management unit (1a) through electrical connections or via Wi-Fi. - FIG. 4,5,6. The cars inside the departure / arrival station (2) proceed at moderate speed aligned along the launching ramp (19) to be reached from the rear by the conveyor trolley (T) which slides aligned at higher speed in the open position; upon collimation of the two infrared detectors (28c) arranged on the side sides of the car with the two photoelectric cells (15) of the conveyor trolley (T), the car uniforms its speed (moderate) to that of the trolley in order to allow the correct coupling process: the arms of the trolley close in a vertical position and slide inwards until the rubber spacers (16) adhere to the sides of the car; at the same time the lower terminals (33) move upwards to the lower body of the car; in contact with the corresponding parts of the bodywork, the sensors arranged in the rubber spacers (16) and in the lower terminals (33) command, by means of an electric impulse to the relative electromechanical pumps (12), the transverse and vertical stop of the arms. The car so hooked by the conveyor trolley is launched on the suspended road by hooking the vice (14) to the pulling rope (4).

The correct position of the conveyor trolley with respect to the various dimensions of the cars during the hooking phase is determined by the sensors (16) arranged in the rubber spacers and in the lower terminals (33) of the arms of the trolley which stop their transversal and vertical translation on contact with the corresponding parts of the car, by means of an electrical impulse to the relative electromechanical pumps (12). The reverse process occurs when the car is unhooked from the arrival ramp (20).

The process of sliding and hooking to the hauling rope (4) of the conveyor trolley (T) along the launch (19) and arrival (20) ramps inside the departure / arrival station (2) is the same as that of the existing cable cars. - FIG.7, 8.

The conveyor trolleys (T) of the cars, by means of the sliding trolleys (8) equipped with an electromechanical vice (14) which is hooked to the pulling rope (4) and four pairs of pulleys (13) which slide over the two carrying ropes (5 ), are launched from the launching ramp (19) on the suspended route (1) at a mutual safety distance; the sliding trolley (8) is attached to the arm (7) of the load-bearing trolley by means of a flat friction hinge (9) which allows it to rotate according to the inclination of the cables, always leaving the vehicle's trolley in a vertical position during the suspended journey thanks to gravity.

During the suspended route, the cars are connected to the operations center (1a) via a Wi Fi bridge between the internal electronic control units (28) and the frames (3) of the suspended road to detect any anomalies and emergency communications - FIG.9, 10, 11 ,12. The departure / arrival stations (2) are equipped with a type of handling system for the existing gondolas, in which car transporters (T) are moved instead of the cabins: a large horizontal pulley (22) driven by an electric motor (23 ) moves the hauling rope (4) in a closed loop and, along an external parking circumference (24), the transport trolleys (T) in an open position without loads, arranged on a sliding frame (25) so as to compensate for the elongation of the cables managed by an electronic cable tension control system.

The station is equipped with a control and management system (1a) consisting of an automatic operating center that manages the rotation of the large pulley that moves the pulling rope and the conveyor trolleys in continuous motion, the rotation and extension of the arms of the same conveyor trolleys in the launch, arrival and stationing phases, and which interfaces via Wi-Fi with the electronic control units of the cars passing through the area delimited by the entrance / exit toll gates of the departure / arrival station in order to allow them alignment and coupling to the conveyor trolleys during the entry phase and release during the exit phase.

Passing through the entrance / exit toll gate (21) connected to the road network, the cars enter the departure / arrival station (2) and are taken over by the control operating center (1a) via Wi-Fi connection with the electronic control unit ( 28) inside which manages the speed and steering of the car according to the distances from the front vehicle and from the side barriers detected by the infrared detectors (28b) (28c).

At the end of the suspended road, the low speed conveyor trolleys (T) on the arrival ramps (20) open leaving the cars on the ground free to exit from the outside of the station (2) with autonomous driving managed by the control unit (1a ) until the exit toll gate (21).

The transport trolleys (T) release from the hauling rope (4) and continue their run inside the station (2) in an open position without loads to return to the start in continuous motion thanks to the movement along an external parking circumference (24 ) of the large pulley (22) driven by an electric motor (23) which moves the hauling rope (4) with the ring closed. - FIG.13.

To increase the flow rate of the vehicle flow, the system can be expanded with a battery of entry / exit lanes equipped with related toll booths. The departure / arrival station (2) is enlarged with a handling system (24) of the conveyor trolleys in the open position without loads on a second large dedicated pulley (26) driven by an electric motor (27) which moves in a closed loop along a external circumference of the conveyor trolleys (T), independent of the first large pulley (22) which moves the pulling rope (4) in a deflected position in a deflected position to allow the passage of the conveyor trolleys. - FIG.14.

To cover distances greater than 4,000 - 5,000 m of suspended route, intermediate A / P stations (2a) have been set up to reduce the entire length of the steel cables, subject to thermal expansion, and at the same time allow the connection of vehicles to the existing road network or change the direction of travel. - FIG.15, 16.

The suspended way (1) three-wire can also transport cabins (V4) intended for people by means of fixed conveyor trolleys (T1) hooked to the frame (6b) of the same cabins; in this case the large pulley (26) driven by an electric motor (27) in addition to moving the conveyor trolleys (T) in a closed loop, moves the cabins along an outermost circumference.

The intermediate stations (2a) between two sequential sections of the suspended road are located in a mirror position, with an intermediate space dedicated to the transit of pedestrians (18) for access and disembarkation from the cabins (V3) independent of the transit of cars in continuation whose autonomous driving is managed by the operations center (1a). - FIG.17, 18, 19,20.

The suspended transport system is integrated by vehicles and electric wagons (V3) for the transport of mini freight containers (31) without driver in completely autonomous driving managed by the control and management center (1a), using the electronic devices provided for electric cars. Electric vehicles / wagons (V3) enter and leave the station (2, 2a) through dedicated entry / exit lanes (17a), parallel to the passenger car lanes (17), connecting to special loading / unloading parking lots (34) of the mini freight containers, where they are handled automatically by means of a Wi-Fi antenna (32) connected to the operations center (1a). - FIG.21.

Furthermore, hybrid and electric cars (V2) and electric vehicles / wagons (V3), equipped with all the internal electronic devices described above, can be equipped with a telescopic device (a) (a1) which allows connection to the electricity grid for contact with an overhead line (c) and with an earth strap (b), which power the batteries during the terrestrial route along special lanes (17b) dedicated for the connection between the departure / arrival station (2) (2a) with parking lots (34) and remote factories (35) for loading and unloading goods.

These lanes (17b), equipped with a single-cable overhead power line (c) and a return strap (b), are dedicated to autonomous driving managed by the operations center (1a) via a Wi-Fi bridge with frames (17c ) and the internal electronic control units (28) of the vehicles.

At the entrance of the departure station (2) (2a) the overhead power line (c) and the ground return strap (b) stop and the telescopic device (a) (a1) is lowered into the position rest so as not to interfere with the transport trolley (T) that slides on the back to hook the vehicle during the launch phase on the suspended route.

The reverse process occurs during the exit phase: when the vehicle is uncoupled from the conveyor trolley, the telescopic device (a) (a1) rises to allow contact with the overhead electrical power line (c) and simultaneously with the strap a earth (b) arranged along the exit lane (17b). - FIG. 22,23,24,25.

This integration of freight transport allows the use of the autonomous driving system in various industrial and commercial contexts.

The system is a sustainable alternative to traditional transport infrastructures and can be implemented in all urban and suburban contexts with obvious economic and environmental impact advantages.
