Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ultra-high-speed transportation, and in particular to a mainline transportation system for transporting passengers and goods, which provides movement in space along a trajectory defined by rails of a track structure. Background Art

[0002] The idea for the vacuum tube train was patented in 1835 by British scientist Henry Pinkus, and this development in high-speed rail transport has continued to improve.

[0003] A supersonic ground transport system provided by Yansufin is known, which comprises a vehicle with a carriage equipped with a linear motor rotor, super electromagnets and super permanent magnets at the bottom. The stator of the linear motor is mounted on a support built on the track and is made of superconducting windings cooled by liquid helium and of super electromagnets and super permanent magnets with the possibility of creating a magnetic cushion oriented by magnetic poles. An all-metal gas-tight main pipe is mounted on the support, consisting of separate pipes sealed to each other by annular bellows. Doors are provided at the end points and intermediate stops of the vehicle. The carriage is equipped with doors that open outwards. Along the entire length of the track, a vacuum pump regulated for automatic operation is mounted on the main pipe, and a wind turbine [1] is mounted on top of the main pipe, primarily at the junction of the separate pipes.

[0004] A disadvantage of this transport system is the inefficiency and high cost of the infrastructure for ensuring the suspension of the vehicle in the extended section of the track structure.

[0005] A transport system is also known, which includes an aircraft vehicle and an electric transport line. The vehicle is composed of carriages connected to each other by walkways between the vehicles. The vehicle body is composed of separate compartments and is filled with a gas lighter than air. The carriage is composed of a passenger cabin and a cargo cabin. It is equipped with an altitude adjuster and a steering rudder, and an electric aviation turbine. The electric transport line includes a transport mast and a track. The carriage slides along the track, and power is transferred from the track through conductive brushes, and voltage is provided to the vehicle through the track. In front of the vehicle, a cleaning knife is positioned to prepare and clean the track to prevent external contamination. In the event of an accident, the vehicle will be turned off and leave the line [2].

[0006] A disadvantage of this transport system is the significant increase in air resistance at high vehicle speeds, which leads to considerable unjustified costs when using this transport system.

[0007] The train track is located in a closed reinforced concrete viaduct on the ground or underground. The fuselage of the spacecraft serves as a carriage, and in order to stabilize the carriage laterally on the curved section of the train track above the carriage in the viaduct, there are special rails surrounded by rollers mounted on the roof of the carriage. The train track points downhill at the beginning of the movement, which is an uphill slope when moving backwards and helps to perform more effective braking at the end of the track, and for the same purpose, air is sucked from the viaduct from the side of the destination station and pumped from the side of the departure station [3].

[0008] However, the above-mentioned prior art does not fully utilize the ability of reducing airflow resistance at high vehicle speeds according to the present invention.

[0009] Hyperloop transport systems are known which consist of an overhead pipeline on a support in which individual transport capsules move. At the front of the capsules there are blowers with compressors. Behind them there is a passenger compartment and batteries are located at the rear. Special guides and blowers located in front of the capsules redirect the incoming air flow from below the bottom, which allows an air cushion to be created under pre-vacuum conditions under the capsule. The capsules are driven by linear motors in which aluminum rails as stators are installed at certain intervals in the pipeline. A rotor is located in each capsule. Since the stator performs not only acceleration but also braking, in the latter case the kinetic energy of the capsule is also converted into electrical energy [4].

[0010] A disadvantage of this transport system is the complexity of the controls to ensure the stability of the transport capsule during movement and to prevent it from rotating around its own axis.

[0011] The closest and most positive result in terms of technology is the Unitsky transport complex, which consists of a self-propelled wheeled vehicle with a body having a power unit for movement along a track structure prestressed by tensioning, located in a sealed tunnel equipped with doors at each station. The tunnel is made in the form of a tube prestressed in the longitudinal direction by tension [5].

[0012] The disadvantages of this transport complex are its insufficient efficiency, which is due to the need to create a deep vacuum in the tunnel of the track structure and the need to equip the power unit of the self-propelled wheeled vehicle with a bulky system for ensuring its movement, which represents a container with associated parts (communications) for storing fuel and energy components and occupies a considerable part of the volume and weight of the vehicle.

[0013] The present invention is based on achieving the following objectives:

[0014] - Reduce energy consumption to ensure vehicle movement at speeds exceeding 1,000 km / h;

[0015] -Increase vehicle volume utilization efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0016] The technical object according to the invention is achieved by the Unitsky ultra-high-speed transport complex, which includes a self-propelled wheeled vehicle, which includes a body with a power unit so as to move along a track structure prestressed by tensioning, the wheeled vehicle being located in a sealed tunnel equipped with doors at each station, wherein the power unit is made in the form of a hydrogen engine connected to the air intake by a gas line, and the tunnel is filled with hydrogen at a pressure P (unit: Pa) within the following range:

[0017] 500 ≤ Р ≤ 15,000,

[0018] The vehicle is equipped with a system for supplying an oxidant to the hydrogen engine, the system including a tank filled with the oxidant, and the tunnel is made in the form of a tube prestressed in the longitudinal direction by tension, and the vehicle body is made in the form of a rotating body and is positioned equidistant from the inner surface of the tunnel.

[0019] By making the hydrogen engine in the form of an internal combustion engine, the technical purpose can also be ensured to be successfully achieved.

[0020] This is also achieved due to the fact that the hydrogen engine is built in the form of a fuel cell.

[0021] This technical solution is also ensured in that oxygen is used as oxidant.

[0022] The achievement of the results described is also ensured by the fact that the tunnel has a circular cross-section, the wall thickness h of which (in m) is determined by the following ratio:

[0023] 0.05≤h / R≤0.5,

[0024] Where R (unit: m) is the inner diameter of the tunnel.

[0025] This result is also achieved by the fact that the vehicle is located in the tunnel with a circular gap δ (in m) determined by the following ratio:

[0026] 0.1≤δ / R≤1.

[0027] The solution of the task is also ensured by the fact that the tunnel is located on a viaduct, and / or in a water volume, and / or underground.

[0028] Said result is also achieved by the fact that the tunnel has neutral buoyancy with respect to the external environment of its arrangement.

[0029] A solution to this problem is also achieved in the case where the tunnel points downhill at the beginning of the vehicle movement and uphill at the end of the vehicle movement, which allows recuperation of work (recovery of energy of vehicle movement) and the use of a power unit with reduced output.

[0030] The achievement of said result is also ensured by the fact that the slope of the tunnel is configured to give the vehicle an acceleration а (m / s 2 ), which is determined by the following ratio:

[0031] 0.01≤а / g≤0.25,

[0032] Where g(m / s 2 )——acceleration due to gravity.

[0033] The above result is also achieved by the fact that the front and rear bodies of the vehicle are made conical with an S-shaped profile.

[0034] A solution to the given problem can also be obtained if the generating line of the body contour is a curve with alternating curvature or an integration of curve segments and straight line segments oriented in a sign-variable direction.

[0035] The achievement of the above result is also ensured by the fact that the air inlet means are located on top of the conical portion of the body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0099] The essence of the claimed invention is further presented in more detail.

[0100] The claimed superfast transport complex of Unitsky (see Figure 1 and 2 ) comprises a self-propelled wheeled vehicle 1, which includes a body 2 having a power unit 3 (see Figure 3 ).

[0101] The power unit 3 of the vehicle 1 is made in the form of a hydrogen engine 3.1 connected to an air intake 3.3 via a gas line 3.2. The vehicle 1 is therefore equipped with a system 4 for supplying an oxidant 4.1 to the hydrogen engine 3.1, the system comprising a tank 4.2 with the oxidant 4.1 (see Figure 3 ).

[0102] The power unit 3 enables the vehicle 1 to move along a track structure 5, which is prestressed in the longitudinal direction (by a tensile force F (N)), on which the vehicle 1 is mounted (see Figure 1-3 ).

[0103] The use of metal wheels (e.g. steel wheels 6) as propulsion units of the vehicle 1 in combination with a track structure 5 (e.g. with a steel rolling surface K) of a similar design and transport complex (see Figure 4 ) combination, minimizing friction and elastic deformation losses in the rail-wheel contact zone and thereby optimizing the costs of implementing a transport system which, in the prior art, is the most reliable, safe and efficient transport system for large-scale movement of passengers and cargo at high speeds over considerable distances.

[0104] According to any of the non-limiting embodiments of the transport complex claimed, one of its main elements is a track structure 5 in the form of a track cable 7, prestressed by tensioning in the longitudinal direction, for example in the form of a suitably prestressed load-bearing element 7.1 positioned, for example, in the body 7.2 of the track cable 7, and representing a twisted and / or untwisted rope, cable, wire, belt and / or other extension element made of any high-strength material (see Figure 4 ).

[0105] The above-mentioned load-bearing elements 7.1 of the track cable 7 can technically be integrated into a load-bearing structure, and the interstitial spaces between the load-bearing elements 7.1 in the body 7.2 of the track cable 7 can be filled with a hardening material 7.3 (see FIG. 1 ) based on a polymer adhesive, a composite material or a cement mixture (not shown in the figure). Figure 4 ), which rigidly connects the load-bearing elements to the load-bearing structure, thereby bonding the track cables 7 of the track structure 5 into a whole.

[0106] The track structure 5 is located in a tunnel 8. The tunnel 8 is made in the form of a sealed tube 8.1, which is tensioned by a force Т (N) through a load-bearing element 8.2 (see Figure 1 and 15 ) and is prestressed in the longitudinal direction.

[0107] As support element 8 . 2 of tunnel 8 , a component similar to support element 7 . 1 of track cable 7 described above can be used.

[0108] The innovative variant of the construction of the track structure 5 and the tunnel 8 of the transport complex - prestressed by tensioning in the longitudinal direction, allows to achieve significant advantages compared to known technical solutions. In particular, it allows to achieve the required linearity of the track structure 5, increase its rigidity and reduce the material volume, while ensuring compensation of the thermal expansion of the track structure 5 and the tunnel 8, and thus ensuring increased reliability and efficiency of the transport complex as a whole.

[0109] Depending on the design choice, the tunnel 8 may be located on land and / or in a water column 15, and / or may be located underground (see Fig.19 ).

[0110] Depending on the nature, location, functional group and design of the foundation 9, the sealing tube 8.1 of the tunnel 8 can be arranged on the foundation 9 by any known method.

[0111] An embodiment for positioning the tunnel 8 on land is to arrange it on supports 10 .

[0112] The support member 10 may be a steel or reinforced concrete column (see Figure 1 , 7 , 8 and 16) and frame structures, buildings and structures specially equipped with stations 11 (warehouses, stations) and / or freight stations.

[0113] One embodiment of the transport complex is to position the sealed tubes 8.1 of the tunnel 8 in two rows on supports at the same height above the ground (see Figure 1 , 7 and 16).

[0114] An alternative embodiment of the transport complex is to arrange the sealed tubes 8.1 of the tunnel 8 in two rows in a vertical plane on supports above the ground (see Figure 8 ).

[0115] Furthermore, the tunnel 8 can be located, for example, on a viaduct 12 (cf. Fig.15 ).

[0116] Similarly, the tunnels 8 for transporting the complex can be positioned in two rows in the vertical plane, for example, one on a support 10 above the surface of the earth and a second in the formation (see Fig. 9 ).

[0117] Another of the many possible embodiments of the transport complex is to arrange the sealed tubes 8.1 of the tunnel 8 in two rows in the ground (see Fig.11 and 18 ).

[0118] One embodiment of a transport complex is a tunnel 8 in which sealed tubes 8.1 are arranged in two rows on a prepared foundation 9 in an inclined ground 13 on the earth's surface (see Fig.10 ) and / or underwater14 (see Fig.14 ).

[0119] According to the design choice, the sealing pipe 8.1 of the tunnel 8 can be arranged in the water column 14 (see Fig.12 and 17 ) and / or along the bottom of the reservoir (see Fig.13 ).

[0120] At the same time, according to the embodiment in any alternative variant of the transport complex in water 14, the sealed tube 8.1 of the tunnel 8 can be made neutrally buoyant by having floats 15, anchor bolts 16 and elements 17 connecting them to each other and to the sealed tube 8.1 (see Fig.12 , 17 and 19).

[0121] By any practical implementation of the location and design of the tunnel 8, the desired linearity, compactness, safety and stability of the track structure 5 is achieved in the entire transport complex.

[0122] Furthermore, the tunnel may point downhill at the beginning of the movement of the vehicle 1 and uphill at the end of the movement (see Fig.19 ). This allows saving energy, using smaller power units and increasing the useful volume of the body 2 of the vehicle, which allows saving energy, using smaller power units and increasing the useful volume of the body 2 of the vehicle 1. Moreover, in this case, the slope of the tunnel 8 is made so that it is possible to give the vehicle 1 an acceleration а (m / s ) under the influence of gravity. 2 ), which is determined by the following ratio:

[0123] 0.01≤а / g≤0.25, (1)

[0124] Where g(m / s 2 )-acceleration due to gravity.

[0125] Energy savings are achieved during operation of the transport complex if the tunnel 8 is configured as a downhill slope at the beginning of the movement of the vehicle 1 and as an uphill slope at the end of the movement.

[0126] If the ratio (1) is less than 0.01, further large energy consumption is required to ensure the speed of the vehicle 1 .

[0127] If the ratio (1) is greater than 0.25, the overload generated during acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle 1 may cause discomfort to the passengers.

[0128] The design and operation of the proposed hypersonic transport complex is based on the same dependence of the speed of sound propagation in a gas medium on its atomic weight. The lower the atomic weight of the gas, the higher the speed of sound in it, and the higher its subsonic speed can be.

[0129] At the same time, the lower the resistance to an object's movement in a gas, the less energy is required to ensure its supersonic motion.

[0130] Since in the proposed technical solution, the power unit 3 of the vehicle 1 is made in the form of a hydrogen engine 3.1, which is connected to the air intake device 3.3 through a gas pipeline 3.2, and the tunnel 8 is filled with hydrogen 18 under a pressure P (Pa), the pressure is within the following range:

[0131] 500 ≤ Р ≤ 15,000, (2)

[0132] During movement, it is possible to simultaneously supply fuel (hydrogen 18) to the power unit 3 and reduce the drag of the vehicle 1. At the same time, the useful volume of the vehicle 1 configured to accommodate passengers and / or cargo is increased, while the volume of the vehicle 1 configured to accommodate the power unit 3 is significantly reduced.

[0133] The value shown in expression (2) distinguishes the optimal range of the hydrogen pressure 18 in the tunnel 8 and allows to ensure the performance characteristics of the ultra-high-speed transport complex without too much effort, which leads to minimizing the costs of overcoming the resistance to high-speed movement of the vehicle 1, as long as its power unit 3 made in the form of a hydrogen engine 3.1 is in uninterrupted operation.

[0134] If expression (2) is less than 500, it is not possible to ensure stable operation of the power unit 3 of the vehicle 1 due to the influence of fuel "starvation" of the hydrogen engine 3.1 caused by exhaustion of the fuel mixture with the main fuel component (hydrogen) 18.

[0135] If the expression (2) is greater than 15,000, the resistance of the gas medium of the tunnel 8 to the vehicle 1 increases significantly.

[0136] Advantageously, the body 2 of the vehicle 1 is made in the form of a body of revolution ( Figure 4-6 ) and are positioned equidistantly from the inner surface C of the tunnel 8 (see Figure 2 ). When the vehicle 1 travels along the track structure 5 of the Unitsky super-high-speed transport complex, this construction and arrangement of the vehicle 1 also helps to reduce energy consumption when reaching supersonic speed.

[0137] As described above, in order to operate the hydrogen engine 3.1, in any of its alternative embodiments, the body 2 of the vehicle 1 is equipped with a system for supplying an oxidant 4.1 to the hydrogen engine 3.1, the system comprising an oxidant tank 4.2 (see Figure 3 ).

[0138] According to the design choice, oxygen 19 can be used as oxidant 4.1. At the same time, due to the operation of hydrogen engine 3.1, environmentally friendly products (water) will be released. In addition, when using liquid oxygen 19 as oxidant 4.1, since the temperature difference during the phase change of oxidant 4.1 from liquid to gaseous state is used, the problem of regulating the interior of vehicle 1 and, if necessary, cooling the engine and brakes is easily solved.

[0139] Under the proposed technical solution, in any non-limiting alternative variant of possible use, for example, other oxidants 4.1 can be used: hydrogen peroxide, fluorine, chlorine and / or other compounds (not shown in the figure), which are selected from those known within the scope of all combinations of the essential features of the invention.

[0140] According to any non-limiting embodiment of the Unitsky hypersonic transport complex according to the invention, the hydrogen engine 3.1 can be implemented, for example, in the form of an internal combustion engine or a fuel cell.

[0141] In order to ensure the continuous operation of the transport complex and the tightness of the tunnel 8 in the sections between the stations 11, its sealing tube 8.1 is provided with a door 20 (see Fig.19 and 20 ).

[0142] Therefore, the tunnel 8 is made (see Figure 2 ) is in the form of a sealed tube 8.1 of circular cross section, and the wall thickness h (m) is determined by the following ratio:

[0143] 0.05≤h / R≤0.5, (3)

[0144] Where R(m) is the inner diameter of tunnel 8.

[0145] When the tunnel 8 is made in the form of a sealed tube 8.1 with a circular cross-section and whose wall thickness h (m) corresponds to the value shown in the ratio (3), it is sufficient to simply ensure the desired shape and integrity of the tunnel 8 even if a pre-vacuum (vacuum) is generated therein, including under earthquakes and other dynamic influences.

[0146] If the ratio (3) is less than 0.05, in order to ensure the tightness and integrity of the sealing tube 8.1 of the tunnel 8, it will be necessary to use expensive high-strength materials and complex design solutions, which significantly increases the cost of the entire transport complex.

[0147] If the ratio (3) is greater than 0.5, the overrun of material used to construct the sealing tube 8 . 1 of the tunnel 8 is unreasonable.

[0148] In order to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle 1 on the track structure 5 in the tunnel 8, and to simplify the required pressure P (Pa) of the hydrogen 18 maintained therein, it is suggested that the vehicle 1 is arranged in the tunnel 8 with a circular gap δ (m) determined by the following ratio:

[0149] 0.1≤δ / R≤1 (4)

[0150] If the ratio (4) is less than 0.1, then on the inner surface C of the tunnel 8 (see Figure 2 ) and the side surfaces of the body 2 of the vehicle 1 , which leads to an unacceptable increase in the aerodynamic drag on the vehicle 1 .

[0151] If the ratio (4) is greater than 1, significant additional time and energy costs are required to ensure that the hydrogen pressure 18 in the tunnel 8 is maintained within the operating range shown in expression (1), all other conditions being equal. In addition, the diameter of the tunnel will be significantly increased, which will increase its cost.

[0152] The requirement to minimize the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle 1 relative to the movement along the track structure 5 in the tunnel 8 determines the choice of the contour of the vehicle 1 and the position of the air intake device 3.3 thereon (see Figure 3-6 ).

[0153] By studying the aerodynamic properties of a scale model of the body 2 of the vehicle 1 in a wind tunnel, the technical parameters of the body 2 of the vehicle 1 can be optimized.

[0154] According to the test results, the front body A and the rear body B of the main body 2 of the vehicle 1 are made into a conical shape with an S-shaped profile (see Figure 3 , 5 and 6).

[0155] It is noteworthy that the outline generatrix of the main body 2 is made into a curve with alternating curvature, or is made into an integral body of curve segments and straight line segments arranged in directions of changing signs.

[0156] Advantageously, the air inlet device 3.3 is positioned at the apex of the front conical portion of the body 2 (see Figure 1 , 3 -6).

[0157] In the ultra-high-speed transport complex according to the present invention, Figure 1 and 7 As shown, communication and transport channels 21 and solar panels 22 can be arranged and installed, which makes it possible to improve the efficiency of the infrastructure using the transport complex by transporting various liquids or gases via the communication and transport channels 21, or by using them to lay energy networks, and by generating electricity in environmentally friendly power plants.

[0158] Industrial Applicability

[0159] The design of the Unitsky ultra-high-speed transport complex provides for the construction of a sealed tunnel 8 of circular cross-section, for example, in the form of a tube 8.1, which is provided with doors 20 at each station 11, and in which the rail cables 7 of the track structure 5 are constructed. Thus, the sealed tube 8.1 of the tunnel 8 is implemented with a defined wall thickness h (m), and on the rail cables 7 of the track structure 5, equidistant from the inner surface C of the tunnel 8, a self-propelled vehicle 1 is mounted on wheels 6, said vehicle comprising a body 2 with a power unit 3 in the form of a hydrogen engine 3.1, which is used for the movement of the vehicle 1 along the track structure 5, which is implemented in the same way as the tube 8.1 of the tunnel 8: prestressed in the longitudinal direction by tensile forces F (N) and Т (N), respectively. The tunnel 8 is filled with hydrogen 18 at a defined pressure, and in the body 2 of the vehicle 1, an air intake 3.3 of the power unit 3 is located in its S-shaped conical part.

[0160] When the vehicle 1 is moving, hydrogen 18 from the tunnel 8 enters, for example, a fuel mixture preparation chamber (not shown in the figure) through an intake device 3.3 connected to a hydrogen engine 3.1 by a gas line 3.2. At the same time, an oxidant 4.1 (for example, oxygen 19) is supplied to the chamber from a tank 4.2 of a supply system 4 of the power unit 3. The prepared fuel mixture is burned in the power unit 3 and enables the vehicle 1 to move along the track structure 5. At the same time, environmentally friendly products (water) are released.

[0161] Although the present technical method describes a preferred embodiment of the structure, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited thereto but can be implemented using other known structural elements within the scope of the described combination of the essential features of the present invention.
