Aerial cable rail vehicle

Abstract

Disclosed is a novel aerial rail vehicle. Rail columns are erected at intervals of ten meters or more, two steel pipes are erected at the top ends of the rail columns in parallel and serve as rigid rails, and the steel pipes are integrated with composite cables connected with the two ends of the steel pipes for carrying a carriage. A scored pulley arm above the outside of the carriage is connected with a scored pulley arm steering assembly, and universal follow-up scored pulleys at both ends of the scored pulley arm are clamped in the rigid rails or the composite cables to suspend a locomotive in the air. Rigid chains on the rail columns below the carriage are integrated with cable chains connected at both ends of the rigid chains. A wheel hub motor of the locomotive is coaxial with a sprocket wheel, and sprocket teeth are engaged with chain axles of the chains. The wheel hub motor, the sprocket wheel, a sprocket floating arm, a sprocket floating shaft, a sprocket steering sleeve and a sprocket steering shaft fixed on the locomotive jointly form a drive system which can make the sprocket wheel float up and down and rotate in parallel on the rigid chains and the cable chains. The locomotive is supplied with power by an external power supply, and driven by the wheel hub motor, the locomotive travels in the aerial cable rail composed of the composite cable and the cable chains.

Description

technical field [0001] A new type of aerial rail vehicle, the track columns are erected at intervals of tens of meters or more, and two steel pipes are erected in parallel on the top of the track columns as a rigid track and are integrated with the composite steel cables connected at both ends of the steel pipes for load bearing. The locomotive car, the universal follow-up sheaves on both sides above the outside of the locomotive car are stuck on the composite steel cable, so that the locomotive is suspended in the air. The rigid chains on the track posts below the carriages are integrated with cable chains connected at both ends of the rigid chains. The hub motor located at the lower part of the locomotive is coaxial with the sprocket, and the teeth of the sprocket mesh with the chain shaft of the chain. The external power supply supplies power to the locomotive. Driven by the hub motor, the locomotive is cable driving on the track. Background technique [0002] At presen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. The investment in road construction is huge, especially in geographical conditions such as snowy plateaus, deserts, swamps, mountains and rivers, road construction is more difficult and more expensive;

[0004] 2. To destroy and occupy a large amount of farmland, grassland, forest, and even cause damage to the natural environment;

[0005] 3. Rain, snow, fog, wind and other weather conditions will affect its normal operation;

[0006] 4. High maintenance costs for roads, railways, bridges, tunnels and other related facilities and the vehicles themselves;

[0007] 5. In many cities, due to the limitation of ground structures, road expansion is difficult, and traffic congestion caused by cars has become a worldwide problem;

[0008] 6. Noise pollution and exhaust emissions from automobiles cause air pollution

[0012] 1. Complex structure, large volume and high cost;

[0013] 2. The construction is difficult and the project volume is large;

[0014] 3. The driving wheel adopts friction transmission mode, which has small climbing and poor passability;

[0015] 4. The running speed is slow, not suitable for long-distance transportation;

[0016] 5. It is greatly restricted by geographical conditions;

[0018] Due to the above reasons, these two kinds of air rail transit vehicles have not been widely used so far.
