Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rail transit technology, and more specifically to a suspended monorail turnout. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of urban rail transit technology, suspended monorail transit has been widely used due to its advantages such as small turning radius, high climbing ability, energy saving, environmental protection, shock absorption, and fully automated operation. Suspended monorail transit track systems are generally elevated structures, typically composed of steel track beams, columns, turnouts, and connectors. The turnouts and track beams are mounted on the columns, which are then installed on foundations, with the vehicles running upside down beneath the track beams.

[0003] A turnout is a core component of a suspended monorail system, and its main function is to allow vehicles to switch from one track to another.

They are very large and heavy, and the cost is very high. The weight of sliding turnouts is over 100 tons, and the weight of ladder turnouts is over 60 tons; 2. The turnout switching efficiency is relatively low, with a switching time of 20-30 seconds; 3. The drive system is relatively complex, and multiple drive mechanisms need to work together to switch to the correct position, resulting in poor reliability; 4.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] (1) A suspended monorail turnout, wherein the long switch rail is suspended in the turnout beam body by means of a swing guide mechanism and is rotatably connected to the turnout beam body with a rotating shaft as the center. Under the drive of the drive mechanism, the swing guide mechanism can drive the long switch rail to deflect.

The drive mechanism synchronously drives the cam deflection mechanism so that the short switch rail and the long switch rail can cooperate. The long switch rail and short switch rail structure adopted in this invention uses a single switch machine as the power unit for the rotating mechanism, which can realize efficient switching of the long switch rail and the short switch rail. The single switching time is less than or equal to 5s. The single switch machine is used for driving. The switch machine and the signal system can be fully integrated. At the same time, the long switch rail and the short switch rail are connected to the detection rod of the switch machine through the first linkage mechanism and the second linkage mechanism, respectively, which can realize the detection of whether the switching of the long switch rail and the short switch rail is in place, and can ensure the safety and reliability of the turnout.

[0052] (2) The present invention has a novel design and adopts a compact long and short switch rail structure, which greatly reduces the structural size of the turnout beam. Compared with the existing movable turnout and ladder type turnout, its size and weight are greatly reduced. The existing movable turnout weighs about 100 tons and the ladder type turnout weighs about 65 tons. The turnout of the present invention weighs less than 30 tons, which greatly reduces the production cost of the turnout, and at the same time reduces the cost of transportation and installation.
