[0043] Embodiment

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , this embodiment provides one including: a rotating body 100, a first traveling part 110, a second traveling part 120, a first limiting part 111, a first supporting part 112, a second limiting part 121, a second supporting part 122, a driving device 200, a traveling channel 300, a first supporting surface 3, a second supporting surface 4, a guiding surface 5, a power supply rail 6, a traveling space 7, a supporting ring 8, a mounting hole 9, and a first supporting ring 10.

[0045] Among them, there are multiple intersecting traveling channels 300. The traveling surfaces of each traveling channel 300 are in the same plane at the intersection and the center lines of the traveling surfaces intersect at a point. Adjacent traveling channels 300 are connected to each other, and a rotating body 100 is provided inside the intersection.

[0046] The rotating body 100 includes a first traveling part 110 and a second traveling part that are parallel and symmetric in the same plane; the rotating body 100 is carried by the upper part or / and the lower part of the combined beams of multiple traveling channels 300, and the rotating body 100 is connected with a driving device 200 for driving it to rotate, so that the rotating body 100 is continuously communicated with any traveling channel 300 when in any position.

[0047] By setting the rotating body 100 at the intersection of each traveling channel 300 and using the upper part or the lower part of the combined beams of multiple traveling channels 300 to carry the rotating body 100, it is possible to ensure that the rotating body 100 can rotate at the intersection of each traveling channel 300 without additional support, so that the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120 can be communicated with each traveling channel 300, thereby realizing the communication between two relatively arranged traveling channels 300.

[0048] Through the above design, the combined beams of multiple running channels 300 can be used to support the rotating body 100, without the need for additional supporting components, which can not only reduce costs, but also make the device more flexible, occupy less space, and ensure that the two relatively arranged running channels 300 can be connected every time the rotating body 100 rotates a certain angle.

[0049] Generally speaking, for the suspended track turnout mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present application, the rotating body 100 is supported inside the track beam, and the rotation of the rotating body 100 realizes the connection of different channels. There is no need to separately provide a support for the rotating body 100, and the moment of inertia of the rotating body is effectively reduced, greatly saving costs.

[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of running channels 300 is even, and the multiple running channels 300 are arranged in a circular array with their intersection point as the center. The rotation angle of the rotating body 100 is equal to the included angle between adjacent running channels 300.

[0051] In addition, it should be noted that each running channel 300 has a first support surface 3 for supporting the vehicle running wheels, and the first running part 110 and the second running part 120 have a second support surface 4 for supporting the vehicle running wheels; in this embodiment, the first support surface 3 and the second support surface 4 are flush to ensure that the vehicle can smoothly enter the rotating body 100 within the running channel 300.

[0052] Furthermore, a guiding surface 5 is provided in the middle above the first running part 110 and the second running part 120. In this embodiment, the guiding surface 5 is in the form of a guiding rail, and the central axis of the guiding rail is parallel to the central axes of the first running part 110 and the second running part 120, and the central axis of the guiding rail is located between the central axes of the first running part 110 and the second running part 120. This design can limit the vehicle running wheels, ensuring that when the vehicle moves to the rotating body 100, the displacement of the vehicle running wheels can be restricted by the guiding member (only moving along the axial direction of the first running part 110 and the second running part 120).

[0053] Furthermore, the rotating body 100 includes a power supply rail 6, and the power supply rail 6 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the guiding surface 5. The central axes of the two power supply rails 6 are parallel to the central axis of the guiding rail, which can ensure continuous power supply for the vehicle when the vehicle guiding body moves to the rotating body 100.

[0054] Furthermore, both the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part are straight lines. This ensures that the rotating body 100 can connect any two opposite traveling channels 300 at any rotation angle, and after connection, when the guiding body moves through the rotating body 100, the movement path is a straight line. This method is to achieve the continuous straight running of the vehicle. At this time, the central axes of the two traveling channels 300 connected by the rotating body 100 coincide.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120 can also be set as arcs, and the centers of the corresponding arcs of the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120 coincide; at this time, two adjacent traveling channels 300 can be connected (the angle between the central axes of the two traveling channels 300 is equal to the central angle of the corresponding arcs of the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120). At this time, the traveling channels 300 with an included angle can be connected, so as to realize the turning operation of the vehicle. This implementation method is also covered within the protection scope of this application and will not be elaborated here.

[0056] In addition, in this embodiment, multiple groups of the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120 can also be set to realize the synchronous operation of multiple suspended vehicles. This method is only a change in quantity based on the above method.

[0057] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the rotating body 100, in this embodiment, a first connecting part 130 is connected to the side of the first traveling part 110 away from the second traveling part 120, and the central axis of the first connecting part 130 is perpendicular to the central axis of the first traveling part 110; a second connecting part 140 is connected to the side of the second traveling part 120 away from the first traveling part 110, and the central axis of the second connecting part 140 is perpendicular to the central axis of the second traveling part 120; the first traveling part 110 and the second traveling part 120 are located in the same plane and are used to support the vehicle running wheels.

[0058] Specifically, a traveling space 7 for the vehicle to pass through is formed between the first connecting part 130 and the second connecting part 140.

[0059] It should be noted that the second connecting part 140 and the second connecting part 140 are arranged in parallel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 130 includes two first connecting rods arranged in parallel, and one ends of the two first connecting rods are respectively connected to the two ends of the first traveling part 110; the second connecting part 140 includes two second connecting rods arranged in parallel, and one ends of the two second connecting rods are respectively connected to the two ends of the second connecting part 140. This design can reduce the overall weight of the rotating body 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second support surface 4 is located on the side of the first support portion 112 and the second support portion 122 close to the running space 7, and is flush with the first support surface 3 of the running channel 300.

[0062] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the diameter D of the rotating body 100, the width L1 of the running channel 300, and the opening width L2 of the track beam satisfy D ≥ the square root of the sum of the squares of L1 and L2, and D ≤ 4 times the square root of the sum of the squares of L1 and L2. The smaller the D value, the smaller the volume of the rotating body 100, which is more beneficial for rotation.

[0063] Furthermore, the rotating body 100 further includes a support ring 8. One end of the first connecting portion 130 away from the first running portion 110 is connected to the support ring 8, and one end of the second connecting portion 140 away from the second running portion 120 is connected to the support ring 8.

[0064] It should be noted that along the central axis of the support ring 8, the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 140 are symmetrically arranged.

[0065] With this design, the support ring 8 can be used to connect the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 140, so as to achieve the synchronous movement of the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 140 and ensure stability.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to be able to drive the first running portion 110 and the second running portion 120 to move synchronously, in this embodiment, the driving device 200 is arranged on the upper part or / and the lower part of the combined beam of the running channel 300, and is used to drive the rotating body 100 to rotate around the central axis of the support ring 8, so that the rotating body 100 is continuously communicated with any running channel 300 at any position.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving device 200 can adopt a gear drive method, specifically including a driving motor, a driving gear, and a driven gear ring. The driven gear ring is arranged on the support ring 8 and is coaxially arranged with the support ring 8. The driving motor is arranged on the connecting beam of the running channel 300, and the driving gear meshes with the driven gear ring. With this design, the driving motor can be rotated to drive the driving gear to rotate, and during this process, it meshes with the driven gear ring, so as to achieve the purpose of rotating the support ring 8 and driving the first running portion 110 and the second running portion 120 to move synchronously.

[0068] In addition, please refer to Figure 5, the driving device 200 can also adopt the magnetic pole method. A plurality of first magnetic poles are arranged circumferentially on the support ring, and a plurality of second magnetic poles are arranged on the connecting beam of the walking channel. The plurality of second magnetic poles are respectively arranged corresponding to the plurality of first magnetic poles. After the plurality of second magnetic poles are electrified, the second magnetic poles interact with the first magnetic poles, thereby driving the support ring to rotate. This is a rotational driving method in the conventional prior art and will not be elaborated here. In addition to the above two driving methods, other conventional driving methods in this field can also be adopted in this embodiment, not limited to the above two.

[0069] Further, the intersection of the plurality of walking channels 300 has a mounting hole 9. One end of the mounting hole 9 has a first support ring 10, or the other end has a second support ring 11, or both ends of the mounting hole 9 respectively have a first support ring 10 and a second support ring 11; it is used to carry the driven gear ring 230 or the support ring 8. One end of the mounting hole of the present application can be selected to set a support ring, or both ends can be selected to set support rings.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first support ring 10 is located above the second support ring 11, and the support ring 8 is movably connected to the first support ring 10. Along the circumference of the rotating body 100, the support ring 8 and the first support ring 10 are movably connected.

[0071] The support ring 8 is supported by the first support ring 10, so as to achieve the purpose of overall support for the rotating body 100, avoiding the problem that the traditional rotating body 100 needs to reset a support body for support.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 7-12 , this is a schematic diagram of the working state of this embodiment. Here, there are four walking channels 300 and they intersect at one point. The four walking channels 300 are evenly distributed around the intersection point. At this time, by rotating the rotating body 100, the walking space can be connected to two opposite walking channels 300. Thus, when the vehicle runs in one of the walking channels 300 to the rotating body 100, it enters the walking space and then moves to the other walking channel 300 to realize the conduction of the vehicle running route. When the vehicles on the other two walking channels 300 need to run, rotate the rotating body 100 to connect the walking space to the other two walking channels 300 to realize conduction.

[0073] The working principle of a suspended track turnout mechanism is as follows: First, multiple driving devices 200 operate synchronously to drive the rotating body 100 to rotate, so that the rotating body rotates to communicate with two of the multiple running channels 300 that are opposite to each other. At this time, the second support surface 4 of the first support portion 112 is flush with the first support surface 3 of the running channel 300. The vehicle running wheels enter the guiding space from the running channel 300. While using the first limiting portion 111 and the second limiting portion 121 to limit the vehicle running wheels, the guiding rail is used for guiding and re-limiting, and at the same time, the power supply rail 6 is used to supply power to the vehicle.

[0074] In summary, in this application, the rotating body 100 is supported inside the track beam, and through the rotation of the rotating body 100, the communication of different channels is realized. There is no need to separately set a support for the rotating body 100, and the moment of inertia of the rotating body is effectively reduced, greatly saving costs.

[0075] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this application and are not used to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of this application shall be included in the protection scope of this application.
