Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sightseeing vehicles, and in particular to a platform centralized control system for a monorail sightseeing vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the amusement industry, large amusement parks and amusement parks in large commercial areas continue to emerge and show new faces. Due to the characteristics of large amusement parks, such as large areas and large numbers of tourists, there is a need for sightseeing around the entire park, and also a problem of how to solve the flow of people. The unique structure makes it more unaffected by external rain and snow weather. In the existing technology, the monorail suspended sightseeing car can solve the above problems.

[0003] The monorail suspended sightseeing car is a type of sightseeing car with a box-shaped track and the vehicle suspended below the track. The track is supported in the air by columns and can be designed above the moving line of the amusement park without occupying other space.

[0004] At present, the market for monorail sightseeing vehicles is developing rapidly. Most of the monorail sightseeing vehicles on the market are manually controlled by the driver. This manual control method is increasingly unable to meet the market demand. The market needs a safe, comfortable, simple, economical and suitable automatic driving method for monorail sightseeing vehicles for small and medium-sized projects. The platform centralized control driving method can meet this demand. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a platform centralized control system for monorail sightseeing vehicles with the function of automatically controlling the start and stop of monorail sightseeing vehicles and ensuring the safe operation of the vehicles, so as to enable one or more monorail sightseeing vehicles to operate safely without any operation on the vehicles, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a platform centralized control system for a monorail sightseeing car, comprising an operation module, a platform module, a communication module and a sightseeing car module, wherein the operation module, the platform module, the communication module and the sightseeing car module are connected in sequence;

[0007] The operating module is an operating station, which is used to display and operate the status of the tour bus module;

[0008] The platform module is a control master station, which is used to process and control the feedback signals from the communication module and the busbar module on the position of the tour bus module;

[0009] The communication module includes a wireless communication module and a busbar module, which are used to connect the platform module and the tour bus module;

[0010] The tourist bus module is a control terminal station.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the busbar module includes an operation control busbar and a position feedback busbar, and the operation control busbar and the position feedback busbar are respectively connected to the platform module;

[0012] Preferably, an interval operation signal intermediate relay is also provided between the operation control busbar and the platform module to detect and feedback the operation status and data of the tour bus module;

[0013] Preferably, a position feedback intermediate relay is further provided between the position feedback busbar and the platform module to detect and feedback the position of the tour bus module during operation.

[0014] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0015] When the PLC in the platform module sends out a running signal, the section running signal intermediate relay changes from open to closed, and the section is allowed to run. It is transmitted to the running permission intermediate relay through the position feedback busbar. The running permission intermediate relay receives the signal and is energized. The tour bus receives the command to allow running and performs a logical analysis to determine whether the vehicle can run. When the tour bus runs to a certain section, all section signals of the vehicles in a certain section will be transmitted to the position feedback intermediate relay through the position feedback busbar. The position feedback intermediate relay is energized, and the platform module performs a logical analysis to determine the section where the tour bus is located.

[0016] The application of the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The present invention uses the platform as the control master station and the monorail tour car as the slave station. Important control signals such as starting, braking, and position feedback are mainly based on the busbar, and auxiliary control signals such as door feedback signals and brake feedback signals are supplemented by network communication. The operation control busbar and the position feedback busbar are divided into multiple sections for more precise control operation and position feedback.

[0018] (2) The control of the present invention is mainly based on the busbar, supplemented by network communication, so as to effectively ensure that even if there is a failure in the network communication, the safe and comfortable operation of the tourist bus will not be affected.

[0019] (3) The present invention uses busbars for signal transmission, which is more economical and simpler than building network communications in small and medium-sized projects.

[0020] In addition to the above-described objects, features and advantages, the present invention has other objects, features and advantages. The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
