Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of rail transit, and particularly to a turnout structure applied to a suspended monorail system. Background Art

[0002] The suspended monorail railway is a type of rail transit. Different from the two parallel tracks in traditional railways, it has only a single track. Specifically, the suspended monorail is a strip-shaped beam, and the train runs suspended below the beam; the above-mentioned train can be called a suspended monorail train, which is used to carry passengers or goods. In order to complete operations such as train line transfer, reverse operation, and shunting in the yard during train operation, turnouts are set on the monorail line according to usage requirements for switching. The turnout forms a transition line that docks with another section of the track beam after completing the required actions according to the established switching form and switching time. The train passes through the transition line, and the transition line guides the train to switch directions and enter the section of the track beam, and then continues to run normally, thus achieving the purpose of line change.

[0003] In the existing turnout structure, during the turnout conversion process at the transition line position, the state adjustment of different running channels is usually achieved by replacing the entire turnout beam. Such a situation of overall replacement may cause a relatively long action response time for the entire process. Further, it is also easy to cause a relatively long power-off time for the moving vehicle, resulting in a long-cycle action during the switching process, which is not conducive to the rapid lane change of the train during passing.

Detailed implementation manners

[0041] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0042] It should be noted that the mechanisms, ratios, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions under which the present application can be implemented. Therefore, they do not have technical essential meanings. Any modification of the mechanism, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present application can produce and the purposes that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed in the present application. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" cited in this specification are only for the convenience of clear description and are not used to limit the scope under which the present application can be implemented. The change or adjustment of their relative relationships, without substantial change in the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope under which the present application can be implemented.

[0043] Such as Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation manner of a turnout structure applied to a suspended monorail system is provided, which includes a turnout beam 1 and a guiding part arranged above the inner side of the turnout beam 1. The guiding part includes a fixed guiding part 2 and a movable guiding part 3. The movable guiding part 3 realizes matching with different running channels of the turnout through translation or rotation within the turnout beam 1; when switching is performed by translation, the structure of the movable guiding part 3 can be referred to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 . When switching is performed by rotation, the structure of the movable guiding part 3 can be referred to Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 ; the turnout beam 1 is a transition section where two running channels meet, and at least two movable guiding parts 3 respectively matching the two running channels are arranged in the transition section; in the passing state of any running channel, the movable guiding part 3 in the passing running channel is connected with the fixed guiding parts 2 at both ends of the passing running channel; the guiding part includes at least two mutually parallel guiding surfaces. When the train runs to the transition line position and turnout conversion is required, by rotating and / or translating the whole movable guiding part 3, the switching of the running path of the train to go straight or turn can be realized, and the whole switching process only performs horizontal movement switching or rotation switching along the running direction axis on the position of the movable guiding part 3 through a moving device. In the case of rotation switching, translation adjustment can also be performed; in the whole line switching process of the present application, only the movable guiding part 3 is acted on, which is different from acting on the whole turnout beam. The switching process of the present application has higher efficiency, and the overall turnout structure can save more space, reduce the width of the track beam, and make the whole track beam more miniaturized.

[0044] In addition, if the length M of the front and rear current collectors of the train is greater than the length N of the power-off part of the turnout beam 1 (which can be the length of the movable guiding part 3 or the combined length of the movable guiding part 3 and the movable power supply rail 42), that is, M > N; the distance between the front current collector 5 and the rear current collector 6 of the train is greater than the power-off part of the turnout beam, that is, the positions of the front current collector 5 and the rear current collector 6 can maintain non-power-off contact with the power supply rail 4 when the train passes; of course, the train can also be powered by other power supply methods, such as arranging power supply rails 4 on both sides of the beam body of the turnout beam 1, or setting a battery inside the train and using the battery for power supply when passing through the turnout beam 1; all of the above methods can ensure that the train is not powered off when passing through the turnout beam 1. For details, reference can be made to Figure 5 as shown.

[0045] Specifically, for example Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the movable guiding part 3 is composed of guiding plates connected on both sides, having at least two guiding surfaces for two guiding wheels of the motor car to clamp and pass through. The movable guiding part 3 includes at least a first movable guiding part 31 and a second movable guiding part 32, which are connected to the fixed guiding part 2 through the first movable guiding part 31 and the second movable guiding part 32 to realize the passage of the corresponding matching running channel, so that the train can switch the turnout at the transition line position. The turnout beam 1 described in this application can be a turnout beam structure in which one running channel is a straight-line running channel and the other running channel is a curved-line running channel, or a Y-shaped turnout beam structure in which both running channels are curved-line running channels; for example, in Figures 1 - 2 , the fixed guiding part 2 includes a first fixed guiding part 21, a second fixed guiding part 22 and a third fixed guiding part 23; the first running channel is, for example, a straight-line running channel, and the second running channel is, for example, a curved-line running channel. When the straight-line running channel is in a passing state, the first movable guiding part 31 is connected to the first fixed guiding part 21 and the second fixed guiding part 22, and the second movable guiding part 32 is located between the connection line of the first fixed guiding part 21 and the third fixed guiding part 23 and the outside of the turnout beam 1; when the curved-line running channel is in a passing state, the second movable guiding part 32 is connected to the first fixed guiding part 21 and the third fixed guiding part 23, and the first movable guiding part 31 is located between the connection line of the first fixed guiding part 21 and the second fixed guiding part 22 and the outside of the turnout beam 1.

[0046] In addition, please refer to Figures 3 - 4 , the turnout structure can adopt an existing conventional turnout beam or the H-shaped beam shown in the figure of this application; Figure 4 In, the train can be a suspended monorail train, and the turnout beam 1 is provided with a power supply rail 4, and the train is provided with a current collector matching the power supply rail 4.

[0047] In addition, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the power supply method of the turnout structure of this application at the turnout beam can adopt one of the foregoing multiple methods. If the method of using the power supply rail 4 and not cutting off the power at the turnout beam is adopted, a power supply rail 4 can be provided in the turnout structure, and the power supply rail 4 is for under-running current collection, and the current collection surface of the power supply rail 4 is continuous in any running channel passing state; the power supply rail 4 includes a fixed power supply rail 41 and a movable power supply rail 42. Among them, the movable power supply rail 42 is fixedly connected to the movable guiding part 3, the movable power supply rail 42 is located on both sides of the movable guiding part 3, and the fixed power supply rail 41 is located on both sides of the fixed guiding part 2, so that the movable power supply rail 42 can synchronously change its position during the process of the position change of the movable guiding part 3, and the movable power supply rail 42 maintains continuous power connection with the fixed power supply rail 41, so that the entire power supply rail 4 can continuously supply power to the train during the turnout switching process, thereby avoiding the power-off situation during the running of the train.

[0048] Meanwhile, the upper surface of the fixed power supply rail 41 is set lower than the lower surface of the fixed guiding part 2, and the upper surface of the movable power supply rail 42 is lower than the lower surface of the movable guiding part 3, or the lower surface of the fixed power supply rail 41 is set higher than the upper surface of the fixed guiding part 2, and the lower surface of the movable power supply rail 42 is higher than the upper surface of the movable guiding part 3; so that the fixed power supply rail 41 and the movable power supply rail 42 are at different height levels in space relative to the fixed guiding part 2 and the movable guiding part 3, ensuring that no interference or crossing occurs during the process of synchronous position transformation between the position transformation of the movable guiding part 3 and the movable power supply rail 42. After the turnout changes the track, the movable power supply rail 42 is connected to the fixed power supply rail 41, and the movable guiding part 3 is connected to the fixed guiding part 2, forming a non-interfering spatial structure, thus fully adapting to the space of the track beam and gradually miniaturizing the track beam.

[0049] In addition, please refer to Figures 7 - 8 , Figure 7 which is a bottom view schematic diagram of the movable guiding part of the turnout structure in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 which is another bottom view schematic diagram of the movable guiding part of the turnout structure in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 is the movable guiding part of the translation replacement method, Figure 8 and is the movable guiding part of the rotation replacement method with the running direction as the axis, and its rotation schematic diagram is for reference; when using the first translation implementation method for transformation, the structure shown in Figure 7 is adopted, and when using the rotation transformation, the structure shown in Figure 8 is adopted.

[0050] In addition, please refer to Figure 9 shown. The moving distance of the movable guiding part 3 is S1, the length of the guiding surface is L1; the width of the turnout beam is S2; the length of the transition section where the two running channels meet is L2; at the same vertical section, S1 is not greater than 1 / 2 of S2; L1 is not greater than L2. Such a setting method can make the line change and replacement of the obtained turnout structure more flexible and convenient.

[0051] In addition, please refer to Figure 10 shown, Figure 10 which is a schematic diagram of the movable guiding part and the movable power supply rail of the turnout structure in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 10 As a schematic, the connection between the movable power supply rail and the movable guiding part can refer to the foregoing description method.

[0052] Such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 shown, for using Figure 8Schematic diagrams of the structural states of the rotational replacement mode of the shown active guiding part 3, respectively, are the states of rotational switching to form a straight running channel and a curved running channel; and Figure 13 , Figure 14 are the schematic diagram of the beam structure of the active guiding part 3 adopting the second method and the schematic diagram of the installed application structure; in this application, the active guiding part 3 is mainly translated or rotated to switch the connection of the straight running channel or the connection of the curved running channel, and all are realized by the method of rapid switching of the overall structure, so as to reduce the cycle of the entire lane-changing process and make the channel transformation efficiency form a good matching process with the passing of the train.

[0053] The above embodiments only illustratively explain the principle and its efficacy of this application, rather than limiting this application. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
