[0024] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a flatbed car of a rail flatbed car system according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] The rail flatbed car system of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to point-to-point cargo transportation. For example, it can be applied to material transportation in the electrolytic aluminum process to improve safety during transportation.
[0027] Specifically, Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of the control cabinet of the rail flatbed vehicle system of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a flatbed vehicle of a rail flatbed vehicle system according to an embodiment of the present application. The rail flatbed vehicle system according to this embodiment includes:
[0028] A control cabinet, a flatbed car and a track, wherein the track includes two guide rails 10, the two guide rails 10 are respectively charged with positive and negative electricity, and are used to supply power to the flatbed car, and the polarity of the charge can be changed. For example, the two guide rails are respectively charged with positive and negative electricity, and the guide rails 10 are in contact with the flatbed car to supply power to the flatbed car. Since the two guide rails are respectively charged with positive and negative electricity, and do not carry electricity of the same polarity at the same time, and the charged polarity can be switched, the flatbed car can be normally powered, and the rotation direction of the motor can be changed by switching the polarity, thereby changing the running direction of the flatbed car. The flatbed car can contact the track through the wheels to connect the circuit and supply power to the motor of the flatbed car.
[0029] Ultrasonic radars 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the flatbed car moving along the track to detect obstacles in the moving direction. Specifically, multiple ultrasonic radars 9 are provided on the end faces of the front and rear ends of the flatbed car moving along the track. For example, three ultrasonic radars can be provided, and multiple ultrasonic radars 9 are evenly spaced on the end faces of the flatbed car to detect obstacles and personnel in the forward direction of the flatbed car to avoid collisions and injuries. When an obstacle or person is detected within a certain range (for example, 2 meters) from the flatbed car in the forward direction, a signal is sent to the control cabinet, which controls to disconnect the voltage on the guide rail 10, so that the guide rail 10 is not energized, the flatbed car loses power supply, and stops running.
[0030] The control cabinet is used to control the on and off of the track circuit, control the switching of the track electrodes, and receive the signals sent by the ultrasonic radar.
[0031] The rail flatbed system of the embodiment of the present application improves the safety of the flatbed during operation by installing an ultrasonic radar on the flatbed to detect obstacles and personnel, and controls the power on and off of the track through a control cabinet to control the movement of the flatbed, thereby preventing cargo on the flatbed from blocking the line of sight and causing safety accidents.
[0032] In addition, as an optional embodiment of the present application, based on the above embodiment, the rail flatbed vehicle system also includes: a wireless remote control for sending a control signal to the control cabinet, and correspondingly, the control cabinet also includes a control signal receiver to receive the control signal, and can control the on and off of the track circuit according to the control signal.
[0033] In this embodiment, personnel can follow the flatbed truck while it is moving, so as to deal with emergencies. The following personnel can carry a wireless remote control with them, and can send a control signal to the control cabinet through the wireless remote control to disconnect the power supply of the track through the control cabinet when necessary, so that the flatbed truck stops running. That is, the running state of the flatbed truck (such as moving forward and stopping) can be controlled manually. For example, when the cargo on the flatbed truck tilts, the ultrasonic radar on the flatbed truck cannot detect it at this time, but the accompanying personnel can find it in time and control the flatbed truck to stop through the wireless remote control, thereby ensuring the safe movement of the flatbed truck.
[0034] In addition, an alarm light 1 may be provided on the control cabinet, and the alarm light 1 is used to send an alarm message when the flatbed vehicle is running or when the flatbed vehicle detects an obstacle. For example, different alarm messages (such as different sounds) may be sent when the flatbed vehicle is running and when an obstacle is detected, and different sounds correspond to different conditions.
[0035] In order to more intuitively display the running state of the flatbed truck, an indicator light is provided on the control cabinet to indicate the power-on state of the control cabinet. Specifically, a power light 4 and a start indicator light 5 can be provided respectively, and in addition, an ammeter 2 and a voltmeter 3 can also be provided to indicate the power-on state of the control cabinet.
[0036] Moreover, in order to realize the control of multiple modes, control buttons can be set on the control cabinet, and the on-off of the circuit of the control track can be realized through the buttons on the control cabinet. Specifically, a start button 6, a stop button 7 and an emergency stop button 8 can be set. For example, the start button 6 can be used as a main switch. When the start button 6 is pressed, the control cabinet is powered on, and then the power on of the track is controlled. After the flatbed car stops running, the stop button 7 can be pressed to disconnect the power supply circuit in the control cabinet, which plays a safety role. The emergency stop button 8 can be used as a temporary stop control button for the flatbed car. In addition, other function buttons can be set according to actual needs. Through the control buttons, the on-off of the circuit of the track can be controlled, and then the operation of the flatbed car can be controlled.
[0037] The working process of the utility model is as follows:
[0038] Observe whether the power light of the control cabinet is always on to determine whether there is electricity. Press the start button and observe whether the start indicator light is normally on. Then send a forward or backward signal through the remote control. The control cabinet supplies power to the flatbed truck through the track to control forward or backward. When the flatbed truck is running and the track has electricity, the alarm light on the control cabinet is always on and a sound is issued to alert the surrounding personnel. When people and obstacles appear within a certain range in the direction of the flatbed truck and are detected by the radar, a signal is issued, and the control cabinet cuts off the power supply and waits for the obstacles to be removed or the people to leave before re-supplying the power supply for operation. After use, press the stop button, the start indicator light goes out, the remote control signal receiver in the control cabinet is disconnected from the power supply, and the remote control loses its function.
[0039] In the above embodiment, the flatbed car has a metal guide wheel, which is used to contact the track and supply power to the flatbed car. In order to avoid the short circuit caused by the connection of the metal guide wheels on both sides of the flatbed car, an insulating portion can be provided on the bearing of the flatbed car to electrically isolate the metal guide wheels provided at both ends of the bearing. In some specific embodiments, the insulating portion is an insulating coating, that is, a bonding film is coated on the portion in contact with the inner diameter of the metal guide wheel, thereby achieving electrical isolation between the metal guide wheels on both sides. At the same time, in order to facilitate the flatbed car to take points, a conductive spring can be provided to be electrically connected to the motor of the flatbed car, for example, connected to one of the power supply lines of the flatbed car, and the conductive springs are respectively in contact with the metal guide wheels, so that the flatbed car can be stably powered during the rotation of the metal guide wheels, thereby improving safety.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0041] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.
[0042] In addition, various embodiments of the present invention may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention.
