[0021] The aerial friction line turnout of the present invention has a main track 3 fixed on the lower surface of a track frame 1, a rotating seat 2 fixed on the upper surface of the exit end of the main track 3, a rotating track 6 rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 2, a straight track 23 and a curved track 22 fixed on the lower surface of the track frame 1 at the exit end position of the rotating track 6, a switch seat 5 installed on the straight track 23 and the curved track 22, an auxiliary support seat 4 fixed on the upper surface of the exit end of the rotating track 6, a numbering plate 11 and a running wheel 14 installed on the auxiliary support seat 4, a curved track stop switch 101 and a straight track stop switch 102 fixed on the switch seat 5, and a rotating track driving mechanism installed on the track frame 1.

[0022] Stoppers 24 are fixed on the outer sides of the curved track 22 and the straight track 23 .

[0023] A switch folding plate 13 is fixed on the switch seat 5 , and the running wheel 14 is constrained in the switch folding plate 13 .

[0024] A C-shaped channel steel 12 with an upward opening is fixed on the switch seat 5 , and the curved rail stop switch 101 and the straight rail stop switch 102 are installed in the C-shaped channel steel 12 .

[0025] The rotating track driving mechanism includes an air circuit unit 7, a cylinder 8 and a track frame arm seat 151 installed on the track frame 1, a cylinder joint 9 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 8, and a track frame arm 191 is hinged on the track frame arm seat 151 through a self-lubricating sleeve 16 and a pin 18; a rotating track arm seat 152 is fixed on the upper surface of the rotating track 6, and a rotating track arm 192 is hinged on the rotating track arm seat 152 through a self-lubricating sleeve 16 and a pin 18; the cylinder joint 9 is hinged to the middle section of the track frame arm 191, and the other end of the track frame arm 191 is hinged to the other end of the rotating track arm 192 through the pin 18.

[0026] The bottom of the rail frame 1 of the aerial friction line turnout is a main rail 3 made of H-shaped steel, which is convenient for the trolley group 20 to pass. The rotating seat 2 connects the rail frame 1 and the rotating track 6. One end of the cylinder 8 is fixed on the rail frame 1, and the other end is connected to the rail frame rotating arm 191 and the rotating track rotating arm 192 through the cylinder joint 9. There are pins 18 and self-lubricating sleeves 16 between the rail frame rotating arm 191 and the rotating track rotating arm 192 and between the rail frame rotating arm 191 and the rail frame rotating arm seat. A clamping plate 21 is installed at the upper end of the pin 18 installed on the rail frame rotating arm seat, and its lower end is limited by a shaft shoulder; a clamping plate 21 is installed at the upper end of the pin 18 connecting the rail frame rotating arm 191 and the rotating track rotating arm 192, and its lower end is limited by a shaft shoulder; a stop washer 17 is installed at the upper end of the pin 18 installed on the rotating track rotating arm seat, which can effectively prevent loosening.

[0027] The running wheel 14 in the auxiliary support seat 4 rolls on the rail frame 1. When the trolley group 20 needs to be changed to the curved section, the air circuit unit 7 controls the cylinder 8 to push inward, so that the connecting rail frame rotating arm 191 and the rotating track rotating arm 192 are in the same straight line, and the rotating track 6 is coplanar with the curved section track 22. At this time, the curved track stop switch 101 detects the numbering plate 11, and the air circuit unit 7 controls the cylinder 8 to stop. Similarly, when the trolley group 20 needs to be changed to the straight section, the air circuit unit 7 controls the cylinder 8 to push outward, so that the rotating track 6 is coplanar with the straight section track 23. At this time, the straight track stop switch 102 detects the numbering plate 11, and the air circuit unit 7 controls the cylinder 8 to stop.

[0028] There are blocks 24 on the outside of the curved track 22 and the straight track 23 in the rail frame 1 to prevent the curved track stop switch 101 and the straight track stop switch 102 from malfunctioning, and the cylinder 8 is pushed extra, and the rotating track 6 is not coplanar with the curved track 22 and the straight track 23, and the connection is not good. The stop switch 10 is installed in the C-shaped channel steel 12, which is convenient for the curved track stop switch 101 and the straight track stop switch 102 to adjust the installation position. The running wheel 14 in the auxiliary support seat 4 rolls in the switch folding plate 13 in the switch assembly 5. If the block 24 does not block it, the two ends of the switch folding plate 13 can also prevent the running wheel 14 from rushing out, which plays a double protection role. A C-shaped notch is cut on the inner side of the exit end of the main track 3, and an arc-shaped notch is cut at the lower end, which corresponds to the connection part of the rotating track 6 respectively, to prevent the trolley group 20 from falling immediately due to the cooperation of the inner and outer C-shaped and arc-shaped notches when the connecting bolts of the rotating seat 2 and the rotating track 6 are loose. The mating ends of the main track 3 and the rotating track 6 are both chamfered, so that the trolley group 20 can be well connected when turning from the main track 3 to the rotating track 6, especially when entering the curved track 22 from the rotating track 6, which reduces the wear of the wheels in the trolley group 20 and makes its operation more stable.
