Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic levitation vehicle technology, and in particular to a magnetic levitation vehicle for sightseeing. Background Technology

[0002] In the tourism sector, existing transportation options mainly include small rubber-wheeled vehicles, cable cars, and sightseeing trains. While these modes of transport provide basic sightseeing functions, they also have some significant shortcomings. Small rubber-wheeled vehicles and cable cars offer a poor riding experience, lacking comfort and stability; while sightseeing trains, although improving the riding experience to some extent, still need improvement in their curve-passing and hill-climbing capabilities. Existing medium- and low-speed maglev trains, while possessing advantages such as low noise, strong acceleration and braking capabilities, strong hill-climbing ability, small turning radius, low vibration, and good comfort, have high construction and manufacturing costs, primarily suitable for medium-capacity urban passenger rail transit needs at speeds of 100-160 km / h.

[0003] In conclusion, developing a sightseeing maglev vehicle suitable for low-speed operation and with low manufacturing costs is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a maglev vehicle for sightseeing, which solves the technical problems of poor stability and unpleasant riding experience of existing sightseeing vehicles driven by cables and rubber wheels, while medium and low speed maglev trains with smooth operation and higher riding comfort have high manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a sightseeing maglev vehicle, comprising:

[0006] Several carriages, each carriage floor is equipped with two pairs of support arms, each support arm is connected to an electromagnetic component at the end away from the carriage, and a guide rail is provided between the electromagnetic component and the carriage. When the electromagnetic component is energized, the electromagnetic component attracts the guide rail, so that the electromagnetic component is suspended below the guide rail. A drive motor is directly provided between the guide rail and the carriage floor, and the drive motor is used to drive the carriage to slide along the guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, the guide rail has a limiting groove on the side wall opposite to the drive motor, and the electromagnetic component has a lateral stop on the side wall opposite to the carriage. The side walls of each limiting groove opposite to each other are inserted into the inner cavity of each lateral stop.

[0008] Preferably, the support arm is a curved plate, and the bending direction of each pair of support arms is to be close to each other. The end of the support arm away from the carriage extends with a first connecting plate, which is parallel to the guide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the electromagnetic component includes two parallel clamping plates, with an electromagnet clamped and fixed between each clamping plate. Each clamping plate has a connecting portion extending from the side away from the carriage, and each connecting portion is provided with a clearance hole. A second connecting plate is vertically connected between each clamping plate, and the second connecting plate is located on the side of each clamping plate away from the carriage. A first connecting plate extends into each clearance hole, and a buffer block is provided between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the drive motor is provided with a transmission chain and connecting rods on both sides of its length direction. The transmission chain is used to transmit the power of the drive motor, so that the connecting rods move synchronously and the connecting rods are fixedly connected to the floor of the carriage.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the connecting part gradually narrows towards the side away from the carriage, and a chamfer is provided between the connecting part and the clamping plate.

[0012] Preferably, support plates extend from the side walls of the guide rails that are close to each other. The support plates are used to lock the position of the guide rails. The bottom plate of the carriage is vertically connected to a support skid. When the electromagnetic component is running, the carriage drives the support skids and support plates to be spaced apart. When the electromagnetic component is turned off, each support skid abuts against the support plate. The support skids are used to support the carriage.

[0013] Preferably, the support skid is fixedly connected to the carriage by bolts, and an adjustment device is provided at the end of the support skid away from the carriage. The adjustment device is used to adjust the extension length of the support skid.

[0014] Preferably, a pressure sensor is provided between the drive motor and the carriage, and the pressure sensor signal is connected to an alarm device. When the pressure applied by the carriage to the drive motor exceeds a preset value, the pressure sensor outputs an operating signal to trigger the alarm device.

[0015] Preferably, each electromagnetic component is provided with two lateral stops, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clearance hole, and each electromagnetic component is provided with four connecting rods.

[0016] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the sightseeing maglev vehicle provided by the present invention includes: several carriages, each carriage floor having two pairs of support arms, one end of each support arm being fixed to the carriage, and the other end being connected to an electromagnetic component. A guide rail is provided between the electromagnetic component and the carriage floor, specifically a magnetically conductive material. When the electromagnetic component is energized, it magnetically attracts the guide rail. Due to the locked position of the guide rail, the electromagnetic component located below the guide rail is forced to move upward. The electromagnetic component drives the carriage to move together through the support arms. The electromagnetic component is magnetically suspended below the guide rail. A drive motor is provided on the carriage floor, which can move along the guide rail. When the maglev vehicle needs to run, the electromagnetic component is activated and magnetically attracts the guide rail. When the magnetic force is equal to the weight of the carriage, the carriage is suspended above the guide rail, and the friction between the carriage and the guide rail is small. After the drive motor runs, it drives the carriage to move along the extension direction of the guide rail. This application replaces the rubber wheels and cables of traditional sightseeing vehicles with electromagnetic components. The electromagnetic components suspend the carriage above the guide rail, avoiding direct friction between the transport components and the guide rail. This facilitates the transport of the drive motor and also achieves the technical effect of low noise. In addition, the electromagnetic components allow the guide rail and the carriage to be spaced apart, with a certain amount of redundant space between them to buffer the vibration generated when the carriage passes over the inclined guide rail, making the carriage run smoothly and improving the riding comfort of this application.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] This invention provides a magnetic levitation vehicle for sightseeing; please refer to the attached instruction manual. Figures 1 to 3This application includes several carriages 1. A pair of support arms 2 are provided at both ends of the floor of each carriage 1. One end of each support arm 2 is used to connect to the floor of the carriage 1, and the other end is used to connect to an electromagnetic component 3. Preferably, a guide rail 5 is provided between the electromagnetic component 3 and the floor of the carriage 1. That is, the electromagnetic component 3, the guide rail 5, and the carriage 1 are distributed sequentially along the height direction of the carriage 1. Specifically, the guide rail 5 is made of a magnetically conductive material. When the electromagnetic component 3 is energized, it generates a magnetic force, and the guide rail 5 and the electromagnetic component 3 attract each other. The direction of this magnetic force is from the electromagnetic component 3 towards the guide rail 5. Furthermore, the electromagnetic component 3 is directly fixedly connected to the carriage 1 via the support arm 2. The force on the electromagnetic component 3 is transmitted to the floor of the carriage 1 through each support arm 2. The force on the carriage 1 is on the side away from the guide rail 5. When the current in the electromagnetic component 3 reaches a preset value, the magnetic force on the electromagnetic component 3 is equal to the sum of the weight of the electromagnetic component 3, the support arm 2, and the carriage 1. At this time, the electromagnetic component 3 is in vertical equilibrium and is suspended on one side of the guide rail 5. Correspondingly, the carriage 1, supported by the support arm 2, is suspended on the other side of the guide rail 5. Furthermore, a drive motor 7 is fixed on the floor of each carriage 1. After the electromagnetic component 3 suspends the carriage 1 relative to the guide rail 5, the drive motor 7 is started, and the drive motor 7 drives the carriage 1 to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 5. This application replaces the rubber wheels and cables of traditional sightseeing vehicles with an electromagnetic component 3. The electromagnetic component 3 suspends the carriage 1 above the guide rail 5, avoiding direct friction between the transport components and the guide rail 5. This facilitates the transport of the drive motor 7 while also achieving the technical effect of low noise. In addition, the electromagnetic component 3 sets the guide rail 5 and the carriage 1 at intervals, with a certain amount of redundant space between them to buffer the vibration generated when the carriage 1 passes over the slope guide rail 5, making the carriage 1 run smoothly and improving the riding comfort of this application.

[0027] Furthermore, a transverse stop 33 is provided on the side wall of the electromagnetic component 3. Preferably, the opening of the transverse stop 33 is opposite to the bottom plate of the carriage 1. Specifically, there are two transverse stops 33 on each electromagnetic component 3. Taking one electromagnetic component 3 as an example, the two transverse stops 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support arm 2. Taking a pair of electromagnetic components 3 as an example, each transverse stop 33 is located on the opposite edge of each electromagnetic component 3. Correspondingly, two limiting plates extend on the side wall of the guide rail 5 opposite to the electromagnetic component 3. Each limiting plate extends along the length direction of the guide rail 5 and is located on both sides of the guide rail 5. Each limiting plate forms a limiting groove on one side of the guide rail 5. The limiting groove is inserted into the transverse stop 33. The limiting plate located on the opposite side of the electromagnetic component 3 extends into the transverse stop 33. The side wall of the transverse stop 33 restricts the degree of freedom of the electromagnetic component 3 along its own width direction, preventing the electromagnetic component 3 from separating from the guide rail 5 due to its own inertia when the carriage 1 passes through the curved guide rail 5, causing a safety hazard. Furthermore, each transverse stop 33 has several mounting seats on its two inner walls. The mounting seats are arranged sequentially along the length of the transverse stop 33. Each mounting seat is rotatably connected to a guide wheel, and the rotation axis of the guide wheel is parallel to the height direction of the electromagnetic component 3. When the carriage 1 slides along the guide rail 5, each guide wheel is supported by the two side walls of the limiting plate, and the guide wheel rolls along the side wall of the limiting plate to avoid friction between the transverse stop 33 and the guide plate, which could cause damage to the equipment.

[0028] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 3 The support arm 2 is specifically a curved plate, with the bending direction of each pair of curved plates being one end closer to the other, so that the bent end of the support arm 2 is opposite to the guide rail 5. A first connecting plate 21 extends from the end of the support arm 2 away from the carriage 1, and the extension direction of each first connecting plate 21 is also one end closer to the other. Furthermore, each electromagnetic component 3 includes two parallel clamping plates 31, each clamping plate 31 being parallel to the height direction of the carriage 1. An electromagnet 32 ​​is clamped and fixed between the two clamping plates 31. A connecting part extends from the edge of the clamping plate 31 on the side away from the carriage 1, and the distance from the connecting part to both ends of the clamping plate 31 is equal. A [missing information - likely a type of actuation device] is provided on the connecting part. Each relief hole 34 has a connecting part on the support arm 2 passing through it in sequence. Furthermore, a second connecting plate 35 is vertically connected to the clamping plate 31 on which each electromagnetic component 3 is close to each other, and the second connecting plate 35 is located on the edge of the clamping plate 31 away from the carriage 1. A buffer block 6 is clamped between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35, and the relative position of the buffer block 6 with the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35 is locked. Preferably, the width of the relief hole 34 is slightly larger than the width of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35, so that the first connecting plate 21 has a certain amount of movement space within the relief hole 34.

[0029] Preferably, the width of the connecting part gradually decreases towards the side away from the carriage 1, and a chamfer is provided between the side of the connecting part and the clamping plate 31 to ensure that the connection between the connecting part and the clamping plate 31 has sufficient load-bearing strength.

[0030] In actual use, the guide rail 5 will bend according to the actual road conditions. Since the guide rail 5 is engaged with the transverse stop 33, the movement trajectory of the electromagnetic component 3 is always along the extension direction of the guide rail 5. However, the single carriage 1 is rigid. When the carriage 1 just enters the bent guide rail 5, the carriage 1 still tends to continue moving along the straight guide rail, while the electromagnetic component 3 at the front end of the carriage 1 has already entered the bent guide rail. At this time, the electromagnetic component 3 at the front end is set at a certain angle to the carriage 1 as a whole, and is fixed to the carriage 1 by the support arm 2. The first connecting plate 21 rotates within the clearance hole 34. The first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35 are set at a certain angle. When they deflect, the buffer block 6 fixed to them twists. Preferably, the buffer block 6 is made of rubber and has sufficient load strength and elasticity. When the carriage 1 enters the curved guide rail 5, the buffer block 6 can ensure a flexible connection between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35. After completely passing through the curved guide rail, the elasticity of the buffer block 6 assists the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 35 to reset.

[0031] Preferably, a plurality of connecting rods 71 ​​and a chain belt 72 are respectively provided on both sides of the drive motor 7 along the length direction. The connecting rods 71 ​​are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the carriage 1. The drive motor 7 drives the carriage 1 to move through the connecting rods 71. The chain belt 72 on the other side works in coordination with the linear motor to assist the movement of the drive motor 7 while also providing motion guidance, component load protection, and synchronous reset and limit functions. In addition, the chain belt 72, equipped with a tensioning mechanism and a reset gear, can also drive the mover to accurately reset after the drive motor 7 completes its working stroke, forming a closed loop of motion. At the same time, it achieves mechanical limit by utilizing the meshing characteristics of the chain links to prevent the motor from overtraveling and ensure that the transport speed at each point of the drive motor 7 is equal, thus playing a safety protection role.

[0032] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1 Support plates extend from the limiting plates of the guide rails 5 that are close to each other. The extension direction of each support plate is the side that is close to each other. The support plates are used to lock the position of the guide rails 5. The bottom plate of the carriage 1 is vertically connected to the support skids 4. When the electromagnetic component 3 is running, the carriage 1 drives the support skids 4 to be spaced apart from the support plates. When the electromagnetic component 3 is turned off, each support skid 4 abuts against the support plate. The support skids 4 are used to support the carriage 1. In addition, an adjustment device is detachably installed at the end of the support skid away from the carriage 1. The adjustment device can be a shim. Each shim is stacked along the axial direction of the support skid 4 to adjust the overall length of the support skid 4 and ensure that the support skid 4 can provide stable support for the carriage 1.

[0033] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is installed between the drive motor 7 and the carriage 1. The sensor signal is connected to an alarm device. When the length of the adjustment device is not set to the specified length, or when the adjustment device malfunctions, the pressure applied by the carriage 1 to the drive motor 7 will exceed the preset value. At this time, the pressure sensor detects the pressure signal and outputs an operating signal to the alarm device, causing the alarm device to sound an alarm and reminding the staff to repair it in time.

[0034] Preferably, each electromagnetic component 3 is provided with two transverse stops 33, and the transverse stops 33 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clearance hole 34. Specifically, each electromagnetic component 3 is provided with four connecting rods 71.

[0035] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0036] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
