Abstract

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: transport system can be used as passenger transport in town structures, especially mega cities, for suburban traffic, for recreation zones servicing, as well as for loads transportation. Transport system presents route, consisting of trusses and basing on bearers. Transport modules movement or trains is performed on both sides of rout in opposite directions along bearing rails, installed in its lower part. Vertical carriages stabilisation is performed because of contact of their bearing wheels with bearing rails located in its upper part. Route can be covered with case.

EFFECT: decrease of traffic volume on highways without increase of driving lanes quantity, appearing of possibility transport servicing of study areas with shifting workplace, decrease of expenses for assembling and exploitation of transport system.

Description

An increasing number of cars and, as a result, numerous traffic jams on roads put megalopolises in a very difficult position. Multilevel interchanges, ring highways around and inside cities do not improve the situation due to numerous congestion at the entrance to these highways, and traffic accidents, the number of which increases with the growth of the fleet, negate the advantages of highways with no intersections.

Mineral development, logging require the laying of roads for automobile or rail transport for the export of ore or wood. The complexity of laying highways is that the development areas are constantly shifting as ore or forest are mined and new roads or railways have to be laid, which is economically disadvantageous.

The proposed transport system will allow:

1. Unload the trunk without increasing their width due to the installation of transport routes on supports above the dividing lanes of traffic flows.

2. Provide transport areas with a shifting place of work (for example, logging) due to the possibility of quick re-installation of transport routes.

3. Provide environmentally friendly transport resort areas, suburban traffic, delivery of people and goods to enterprises withdrawn from the residential zone of cities, long-distance traffic.

The objective of the invention is a transport system, which is a track consisting of interconnected trusses, supported by supports with the movement of transport modules or trains on both sides of the track in opposite directions along the support rails installed in its lower part, and the vertical stabilization of cars is carried out due to the contact of the supporting wheels with supporting rails located in its upper part. A transport system with a path protected by a casing is possible.

The invention relates to transport systems. A transport system is known in which the path is formed by a truss section truss, and the transport module formed by two wagons rigidly interconnected and spanning the truss moves along a rail installed at the top of the truss section. To maintain equilibrium, the module also relies on two other rails installed on the sides of the truss (AS USSR N 35209). The disadvantage of this transport system is the need to use for movement in the opposite direction another truss path.

The present invention solves the problem of the movement of transport modules in opposite directions along the same truss path.

The truss transport system is a path 1 (Figs. 1 and 2), formed by interconnected trusses made of pipes of round or rectangular cross-section, or from profiles (I-beams, channels, etc.) having a triangular profile in cross section. At the junction of the trusses, a thermal gap must be provided to compensate for the change in the length of the trusses as a result of fluctuations in the temperature of their heating. The trusses are based on supports 2, which are either pillars of tubular section, which can be made telescopic for the convenience of adjusting their height to adapt the route to surface irregularities, or lattice structures according to the type of supports for high-voltage gears. When laying tracks in areas with shifting work places (for example, logging), when frequent re-installation of the track is necessary, the trusses can be disconnected at their joints and transported to a new place, as well as supports made for this option from low lattice structures, it is easy moved to a new location of the route.

The main advantage of the proposed design is that the proposed route practically does not take up space, because farms located above the city traffic, lighter than the currently used reinforced concrete flyovers, do not require powerful supports for their support. The track located along the highway will practically not go beyond the dimensions of the separation zone between traffic flows. When crossing the track through deep abysses, gorges, rivers with a deep riverbed, supports can be made using a cable suspension. In the lower part of each truss on both its sides are supporting rails 3, which can be simultaneously the power elements of the trusses. Interchangeable heads can be installed on the support rails, replaced by new ones in the process of their wear. The thermal clearances at the joints of the heads should not coincide with the thermal clearances at the joints between the trusses. In the upper part of each farm, on both sides of it there are supporting rails 4. The track can be covered with a casing 5, which protects it from atmospheric precipitation. The internal space of the farms can be used for laying power cables, outdoor lighting cables, telephone cables, as well as used for the evacuation of passengers from rolling stock in emergency situations. Track supports can be used to accommodate outdoor lights.

Transport modules or trains, the cross-section of which is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, designed to transport passengers 6 or goods 7, move along the support rails 3 on double-rib wheels 8, which can be made with a synthetic or rubber insert along the treadmill to reduce noise . The suspension of wheels to the module body can be made pendulum or balancer with elastic elements and shock absorbers. Vertical stabilization of the modules is ensured by the contact of the supporting wheels 9 with the supporting rails 4. The seats can be placed in the cars in the form of a continuous row along the side of the car facing the farm, and the doors are placed on the opposite side. With this arrangement, the space for passengers to enter and exit can reach half the length of the car, which will ensure its faster filling than that currently in use in passenger transport, and, as a result, greater throughput of the proposed transport.

Acceleration and braking of modules or trains is carried out due to the interaction of the magnetic fields of linear motors 10 installed on the modules and reaction bands 11 installed on each farm on both sides of it. The change in speed is due to a change in the frequency of a three-phase electric current. Electricity supply to linear motors is carried out from three current collectors fixed on modules and sliding on three tires installed on both sides of the trusses.

Braking in the parking lot and at low speed can be carried out by any kind of mechanical brakes (disc, drum, etc.), as well as an electromagnetic brake. It is possible to drive the drive wheels of the modules with the help of electric motors, gear motors, etc.

Turns and a turn for movement in the opposite direction can be carried out using trusses curved around the vertical axis, forming an arc. U-turn at the end stations, as well as entry into the train storage park, can be carried out using a turntable similar to that used in railway transport.

Trusses for the track structure can be produced at the factory, delivery to the construction site can be carried out by road, and their installation can be done using track-laying mechanisms of the bridge circuit, following the already laid supporting rails.
