Slide guiding technique

Abstract

This invention is a sliding rail guiding technology, which installs a guide rail in the middle of the road. The guide rail is welded by a support column and two parallel round steel strips. The support column is T-shaped, and the vertical foot is deeply inserted into the roadbed for stability. The top end of the horizontal bar is welded with the foot, and the two ends are welded with round steel strips. The technical points are as follows: 1. The vehicle steering does not use a steering wheel, but a steering lever installed in the middle of the steering lever. Two levers are clamped to the outside of the round steel strips on both sides of the guide rail. The steering lever can rotate, and the sliding contact guide rail can turn left and right, driving the vehicle wheels to turn. 2. The bottom of the steering lever is equipped with an anti-unhooking device, which can hook the guide rail even if the vehicle leaves the road due to a slight flying slope. It will not derail the vehicle and lose direction. 3. The rear two wheels are steered in the same way as the front two wheels by the sliding contact guide rail.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] China is a mountainous country, and much arable land is gradually becoming barren due to its distance from roads. Traveling to these mountainous areas for work requires a two-hour walk to carry agricultural supplies, and returning requires another two-hour walk to carry crops; inconvenient transportation is the main reason. However, these slopes are ideal for growing pasture for cattle and sheep, planting soybeans and corn for oil extraction and feed, and growing fruit, among other things. Wouldn't it be wonderful if a road even just one meter wide could allow vehicles to travel safely on it? It could carry both goods and people, and narrow roads are easier to build in mountainous areas. It wouldn't require extensive excavation of the mountains, high slope protection, or significant environmental damage, and most importantly, it would be much cheaper. As a large mountainous country, solving the problem of difficult mountain road construction is crucial for developing more valuable land, ensuring food self-sufficiency, and producing more high-quality meat.

[0002] Such beautiful scenery hidden deep in the mountains and on mountaintops can be easily developed. Even on the battlefield, these paths can be built in 2-3 days, quickly transporting weapons and soldiers to the front lines and forming combat capability. Many mine tunnels for mining are winding and difficult to transport slag and ore; mine carts that can navigate these narrow paths are very useful. They can be used for border patrols, in-field transfers, and urban transportation. This is what I invented: a four-wheeled electric vehicle that can steer along guide rails, called the intermediate guide rail road and the special guide rail electric vehicle. For heavy vehicles or vehicles with large loads, a power steering motor needs to be installed on the steering tie rod. Background Technology

[0003] The invention technology and knowledge for finding roads are truly limited, and there are only a few types of roads currently in use. Initially, I researched the Swiss mountain-climbing train, using rack and pinion technology: this mountain-climbing train, combining railway, train, rack and pinion, and gear transmission technologies, is genuinely complex and expensive. If the central rack and pinion rail were replaced with a directional rail, even a small electric vehicle with tires could climb steep inclines. Later, I learned that this technology is quite similar in principle to straddle-type monorails and BYD's Skyrail. However, the road I invented is narrower and can be more winding. The vehicle is small, weighing around 300 kg, with a load capacity of around 500 kg; it is lightweight, economical, flexible, affordable, and widely applicable. The roadbed can use asphalt concrete roads (paved roads) or ordinary concrete roads. Summary of the Invention

[0006] I. Central Guide Rail: A guide rail is installed in the center of the completed asphalt concrete road surface. The guide rail consists of a support column and two parallel round steel bars welded together. The support column is T-shaped, with the vertical legs ("I") secured by round steel bars embedded deep into the roadbed. The horizontal bars ("I") are made of flat steel and T-shaped steel, with the top of the vertical legs welded in the middle and round steel bars welded to both ends, forming a small utility pole / manipulator shape. The round steel bars are approximately 12 cm above the ground, with a parallel spacing of 5-10 cm, and a diameter of approximately 1 cm. Small round tubes can also be used instead. The design may vary depending on the intended use and load of the vehicle. Installing the guide rail on the road surface facilitates construction and management, and makes it easier to observe obstacles during use.

[0007] II. Steering Technology of a Dedicated Four-Wheeled Electric Vehicle with Track: This electric vehicle is approximately 250 cm long and 100 cm wide, driven by a hub motor. It has two rows of seats, front and rear, accommodating four passengers. Unlike existing electric vehicles, it features: 1. No steering wheel; instead, it uses steering rods mounted in the center of the steering linkage. Two rods engage with the outer sides of the round steel bars on either side of the guide rail. The steering rods can rotate, sliding along the guide rail to turn left and right, thus turning the vehicle's wheels. 2. Anti-derailment hooks are installed at the bottom of the steering rods. Even if the vehicle slightly skids off the road, it can still hook onto the guide rail, preventing derailment and loss of direction. This dedicated electric vehicle is a slow-speed vehicle, limited to 30 km / h, and road design and construction will also have requirements to prevent skidding and derailment. 3. The rear two wheels, like the front two wheels, steer by sliding along the guide rail. This ensures the electric four-wheeler's direction is completely controlled by the guide rail. Turning with the rear wheels will forcefully follow the guide rail, preventing the electric vehicle from sliding off the 100 cm wide road. However, the rear wheels of a vehicle will sway as they rotate. We have specialized suspension technology to address the impact of wheel sway on the vehicle body and increase its stability.

[0008] III. Embedded Roadbed Guide Rail: Designed for shared urban traffic and road use, this recessed guide rail system does not obstruct other vehicles. However, being recessed makes it prone to accumulating sand and debris, making management and cleaning difficult, and obstructions are not easily visible to other vehicles. This embedded roadbed guide rail is approximately 5-10 cm wide and 15 cm deep, also constructed in the middle of the road. The opening at the top is sealed on both sides with round or flat steel strips, approximately 2-5 cm wide. This prevents the guide ball-head steering contact rod from derailing. The flat ball-head steering contact rod is installed in the middle of the steering tie rod and inserted downwards into the roadbed guide rail. The rotatable flat ball head slides against the inner wall of the embedded guide rail, forcibly turning the wheels left or right. This allows vehicles to safely navigate along the road.
