Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method and apparatus for non-stop passenger boarding and alighting in rail transit. Background Technology

[0002] Today, rail transit is developing rapidly in my country. Its speed and efficiency have brought great convenience to people's work and life. It connects people from different regions and forms an economic zone. As the speed of rail transit increases, the radiation range of the economic zone is also getting bigger and bigger.

[0003] However, the existing rail transit system has the following drawbacks: trains need to stop at every station, and there is a deceleration process before stopping, a waiting process for passengers to board and alight while stopping, and a deceleration process when leaving the station. This process of deceleration, stopping, and acceleration is required at each station, which wastes a lot of time, reduces the overall speed of train operation, and restricts the expansion of the economic radiation area. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for non-stop passenger boarding and alighting in rail transit to address the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The method for non-stop passenger boarding and alighting in rail transit according to the present invention includes parallel main tracks and auxiliary tracks. A main train runs on the main track, and a transfer car runs on the auxiliary track. The transfer car can connect with the front and rear of the main train. After connection, the doors of the transfer car can communicate with the front or rear doors of the main train. The method for non-stop passenger boarding and alighting in rail transit also includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: The first transfer car connects to the rear of the main train, the second transfer car connects to the front of the main train, passengers on the second transfer car transfer to the main train, and passengers on the main train who need to get off transfer to the first transfer car.

[0007] Step 2: Passengers waiting at the station board the third transfer car located on the platform ahead. When the main train is about to arrive at the station, the third transfer car slowly drives out of the platform first, and the first transfer car carries the disembarking passengers away from the main train and prepares to enter the station and stop.

[0008] Step 3: The second transfer car moves and joins the rear of the main train. The main train passes through the platform without stopping. The third transfer car continues forward. The main train catches up with the third transfer car and joins the front of the main train.

[0009] Step 4: The third transfer car connects with the front of the main train. Passengers on the third transfer car enter the main train, and passengers waiting to disembark on the main train enter the second transfer car. The second transfer car prepares to detach from the main train and proceed to the next station.

[0010] The non-stop passenger boarding and alighting method for rail transit in this invention offers the following advantages: the main train does not need to stop at any station between the originating and terminal stations, while transfer trains can stop at intermediate stations to transfer passengers from those stations to the main train or allow passengers on the main train to disembark. Since the main train can run continuously, this shortens the overall travel time of the rail transit system, increases its operating speed, and provides greater convenience for people's travel.

[0011] The rail transit non-stop passenger boarding and alighting device of the present invention includes parallel main tracks and auxiliary tracks. A main train runs on the main track, and multiple transfer cars run on the auxiliary tracks. A coupling device is provided between the main train and the transfer cars to allow the front and rear parts of the main train to connect with the transfer cars. A transfer door is provided on the side of the transfer car closest to the main train. Both the front and rear doors of the main train are provided with a special part that can extend into the transfer car and can retract into the main train.

[0012] The hooking device includes two strip supports installed on the front and rear of the main train. Both strip supports are located on the side of the main train closer to the transfer car. The transfer car is equipped with a flip-up hook. The top surface of the strip support is provided with a sliding groove extending front and rear, and the sliding groove is provided with a hook hole for the hook to be flipped outward and inserted into it.

[0013] The hooking device includes a strip support on the main train, located on the side of the main train closer to the transfer car. The transfer car is equipped with a flip-up hook. The top surface of the strip support is provided with a sliding groove extending forward and backward. The front and rear parts of the sliding groove are provided with hook holes for the hook to be flipped outward and inserted into them.

[0014] The middle part of the hook is hinged to a transfer car, which is equipped with a spring for driving the rear end of the hook to flip upwards, and a drive cylinder for driving the rear end of the hook to flip downwards.

[0015] The hook is provided in two parts, and the number of hook holes in the groove corresponds to the number of hooks.

[0016] The transfer car is equipped with anti-collision wheels on the side closest to the main train, which can contact the outer side of the strip support.

[0017] The main train is equipped with a retractable positioning pin, the transfer car is provided with a positioning groove into which the positioning pin can be inserted, the main train is provided with a retractable locking pin, the pedal is provided with a locking groove into which the locking pin can be inserted, and the main train is provided with a pin drive device that can drive the positioning pin and the locking pin to extend and retract. The pin drive device can drive the positioning pin to extend while simultaneously driving the locking pin to retract, and the pin drive device can drive the positioning pin to retract while simultaneously driving the locking pin to extend.

[0018] The pin drive device includes a rotating shaft driven by a shaft drive device and rotatably mounted on the main train. A first gear and a second gear are mounted on the rotating shaft. The rear ends of the positioning pin and the locking pin are connected to racks, and the racks connected to the positioning pin and the locking pin mesh with the first gear and the second gear, respectively.

[0019] The pedal is slidably mounted on the main train, and the main train is equipped with a pedal drive device for driving the pedal to slide left and right.

[0020] The non-stop passenger boarding and alighting device for rail transit in this invention offers the following advantages: When a transfer car approaches the front or rear of the main train, the two can be joined together using a coupling device. Simultaneously, the transfer car's motor stops, and the main train propels the transfer car forward, ensuring safety and simplifying the coupling process. A step can extend into the transfer car, facilitating passenger transfer between the transfer car and the main train and enhancing safety during the transfer. The coupling device employs a structure combining a hook and a strip support, with a groove on the strip support facilitating position adjustment between the transfer car and the main train for easy coupling. The side of the transfer car closest to the main train is equipped with a collision-resistant wheel that contacts the outer surface of the strip support, maintaining a safe distance between the two cars and contributing to train safety. The positioning pin and locking pin can be linked. When the positioning pin extends, the locking pin retracts, and when the positioning pin retracts, the locking pin extends. Only when the transfer car and the main train are aligned can the positioning pin be inserted into the positioning slot and the locking pin retracts. Only then can the pedal extend into the transfer car. This avoids the danger caused by the pedal extending outward when the transfer car and the main train are in relative motion.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The non-stop passenger boarding and alighting method for rail transit includes parallel main track 1 and auxiliary track 2. Main train 3 runs on main track 1, and transfer train 4 runs on auxiliary track 2. Transfer train 4 can connect with the front and rear of main train 3, and after connection, the doors of transfer train 4 can communicate with the front or rear doors of main train 3. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first transfer car 4 connects to the rear of the main train 3, and the second transfer car 4 connects to the front of the main train 3. Passengers on the second transfer car 4 transfer to the main train 3, and passengers on the main train 3 who need to disembark transfer to the first transfer car 4; Step 2, as... Figure 2 As shown, passengers waiting at the station board the third transfer car 4 located on platform 5 ahead. When the main train 3 is about to arrive at the station, the third transfer car 4 slowly pulls out of platform 5 first, while the first transfer car 4, carrying disembarking passengers, separates from the main train 3 and prepares to enter the station. Step 3, as... Figure 3 As shown, the second transfer car 4 moves and engages with the rear of the main train 3. The main train 3 passes through platform 5 without stopping. The third transfer car 4 continues forward, and the main train 3 catches up with the third transfer car 4, which then engages with the front of the main train 3. Step four, as... Figure 4 As shown, the third transfer car 4 connects to the front of the main train 3. Passengers on the third transfer car 4 board the main train 3, while passengers waiting to disembark on the main train 3 board the second transfer car 4. The second transfer car 4 then prepares to detach from the main train 3 and proceed to the next station. Using this method, the main train 3 does not need to stop at any station between the originating and terminating stations. The transfer car 4 can stop at intermediate stations to transfer passengers to the main train 3 or allow passengers on the main train 3 to disembark. Since the main train 3 can run continuously, this shortens the overall travel time of the rail transit system, increases its speed, and provides greater convenience for travelers.

[0032] In order to achieve Figures 1 to 4The method described herein involves a non-stop passenger boarding and alighting device for rail transit, comprising a parallel main track 1 and an auxiliary track 2. A main train 3 runs on the main track 1, and multiple transfer cars 4 run on the auxiliary track 2. The transfer cars 4 can connect to the front or rear of the main train 3. When connected to the front of the main train 3, the inner door of the transfer car 4 communicates with the front door of the main train 3; when connected to the rear of the main train 3, the inner door of the transfer car 4 communicates with the rear door of the main train 3. The main train 3 and the transfer cars 4 can be connected by synchronizing their operating speeds. To ensure safety and structural simplicity, this invention also provides an implementation method for connecting the transfer cars 4 and the main train 3: a coupling device is provided between the main train 3 and the transfer cars 4, enabling the front and rear of the main train 3 to connect with the transfer cars 4. When the transfer cars 4 approach the front or rear of the main train 3, the coupling device allows them to connect. Simultaneously, the motor of the transfer cars 4 stops running, and the transfer cars 4 are propelled forward by the main train 3. The transfer car 4 has a transfer door on the side closest to the main train 3. Both the front and rear doors of the main train 3 have a special step 6 that can extend into the transfer car 4 and retract into the main train 3. When the transfer car 4 is combined with the main train 3, the corresponding doors of the transfer car 4 and the main train 3 open, and the step 6 extends into the transfer car 4, connecting the doors of the transfer car 4 and the main train 3. This facilitates passenger transfer between the transfer car 4 and the main train 3, and the connection of the step 6 also makes the transfer safer.

[0033] Figure 5 , Figure 6An embodiment of the coupling device is illustrated. This device includes a strip support 7 mounted on the main train 3 and located on the side of the main train 3 closest to the transfer car 4. The transfer car 4 is equipped with a flip-up hook 8. The top surface of the strip support 7 has a sliding groove 9 extending forward and backward. The sliding groove 9 contains hook holes 10 for the hook 8 to be flipped outward and inserted into. When the transfer car 4 approaches the main train 3, the hook 8 first flips into the sliding groove 9 in the strip support 7. By adjusting the position of the transfer car 4, the hook 8 slides forward or backward along the sliding groove 9 until it is finally inserted into the hook hole 10, thus achieving coupling between the transfer car 4 and the main train 3. The strip support 7 is preferably connected to the underframe of the main train 3, and the hook 8 is preferably mounted on the underframe of the transfer car 4 to ensure a secure connection between the main train 3 and the transfer car 4. To ensure a stable coupling, two hooks 8 can be provided, and the number of hook holes 10 in the sliding groove 9 corresponds to the number of hooks 8. One or two strip supports 7 can be installed. Installing one strip support 7 is suitable for shorter trains; the length of the strip support 7 is approximately the same as the length of the train. Hook holes 10 are provided in the slide chute 9 near the front door and in front of the front door. Hook holes 10 are also provided in the slide chute 9 near the rear door and in front of the rear door. When the transfer car 4 is connected to the front of the main train 3, the hook 8 is inserted into the hook hole 10 near the front door. When the transfer car 4 is connected to the rear of the main train 3, the hook 8 is inserted into the hook hole 10 near the rear door. Installing two strip supports 7 is suitable for longer trains or trains consisting of multiple carriages. The two strip supports 7 are located at the front door and the rear door of the train, respectively, preferably near the lower edge of the door.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 To drive the hook 8, its middle section is hinged to the transfer carriage 4. The transfer carriage 4 is equipped with a spring 11 that drives the rear end of the hook 8 to flip upwards. The spring 11 pulls the rear end of the hook 8 upwards, thus pressing down the front end of the hook 8, facilitating its insertion into the hook hole 10 for hooking. The transfer carriage 4 is also equipped with a drive cylinder 12 that drives the rear end of the hook 8 to flip downwards. When disengagement is required, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 12 extends and presses against the rear end of the hook 8, lifting the front end of the hook 8 upwards, allowing the hook 8 to disengage from the hook hole 10.

[0035] During the combination of transfer car 4 and transfer car 4, if the operating speed is very high, there is a certain suction force between the two cars. Therefore, this invention has further improved the non-stop passenger boarding and alighting device for rail transit, referring to... Figure 7 The transfer car 4 is equipped with a crash wheel 13 on the side closest to the main train 3, which can contact the outer side of the strip support 7. When the transfer car 4 approaches the main train 3, the crash wheel 13 can contact the outer side of the strip support 7, so that the transfer car 4 and the main train 3 remain in contact.

[0036] Figure 8 , Figure 9 The installation position of pedal 6 within the main train 3 is shown, with further improvements. Pedal 6 is slidably mounted on the main train 3, and a pedal drive device is installed on the main train 3 to drive pedal 6 to slide left and right. A retractable positioning pin 14 is installed on the main train 3, and a positioning slot 15 is provided on the transfer car 4 for the positioning pin 14 to be inserted into. A retractable locking pin 16 is provided on the main train 3, and a locking slot 17 is provided on the pedal 6 for the locking pin 16 to be inserted into. A pin drive device is provided on the main train 3 to drive the positioning pin 14 and locking pin 16 to extend and retract. The pin drive device extends the positioning pin 14 while simultaneously retracting the locking pin 16, and vice versa. Only when the positions of the transfer car 4 and the main train 3 are aligned can the positioning pin 14 be inserted into the positioning slot 15, and at the same time the locking pin 16 retracts. Only then can the pedal 6 extend into the transfer car 4. This avoids the danger caused by the pedal 6 extending outward when the transfer car 4 and the main train 3 are in relative motion.

[0037] exist Figure 8 , Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the pin drive device includes a rotating shaft 18 rotatably mounted on the main train 3 and driven by a shaft drive device. The shaft drive device can be an electric motor, a coil spring, etc. A first gear 19 and a second gear 20 are mounted on the rotating shaft 18 (due to view limitations, the first gear 19 and the second gear 20 overlap in the figure, but they should actually be coaxial). The rear ends of the positioning pin 14 and the locking pin 16 are both connected to racks 21. The racks 21 connected to the positioning pin 14 and the locking pin 16 mesh with the first gear 19 and the second gear 20, respectively. The meshing of the coaxial first gear 19 and the second gear 20 with the racks 21 drives the positioning pin 14 and the locking pin 16, enabling them to move in tandem. When the positioning pin 14 extends, the locking pin 16 retracts; when the positioning pin 14 retracts, the locking pin 16 extends.

[0038] In summary, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, and all such changes should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
