[0004] The above-mentioned running track reversing device cannot automatically adjust the turning curved track to dock with the track to be traveled according to the traveling direction of the rail vehicle, and needs to pause and wait, which reduces the efficiency of the overall transportation system. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an adaptive track reversing turntable system to solve the technical problem that the existing walking track reversing device cannot automatically adjust the turning curved track to dock with the track to be traveled according to the traveling direction of the rail vehicle.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An adaptive track reversing turntable system comprises a base, wherein four sets of main tracks are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base in a cross shape, a connecting disk is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the base, a track changing mechanism is rotatably mounted in the connecting disk, the track changing mechanism is rotatably located in a triangular ring groove of the base, and the triangular ring groove is opened in the center of the base.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model, the track changing mechanism includes a conversion plate, which is rotatably installed in the connecting plate, and two sets of reversing tracks are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conversion plate, each set of reversing tracks connects two sets of main tracks for train travel.

[0009] As a further solution of the utility model, an inner ring groove is provided on the outer surface of the conversion disk, a triangular roller is rotatably installed in the inner ring groove of the conversion disk, and the triangular roller is rotatably installed in the triangular ring groove.

[0010] As a further solution of the utility model, two sets of pushing plates are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the conversion plate. The lower surface of the pushing plate is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic rod. The hydraulic rod is rotatably installed in the connecting plate. The hydraulic rod can push the full stroke. The pushing plate drives the conversion plate to rotate accurately by 90°, so that the conversion plate drives the reversing track on the upper surface to connect with the other two sets of main tracks, thereby realizing the track change of the train.

[0011] As a further solution of the utility model, a radar sensor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conversion disk, the detection range of the radar sensor is equal to the size of the base, the signal transmitting end of the radar sensor is connected to the signal receiving end of the controller, and the control output end of the controller is electrically connected to the electrical control end of the hydraulic rod solenoid valve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the adaptive track reversing turntable system provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. When the sightseeing train runs on the main track in the base, the direction of travel is detected by the track-changing mechanism, and the track-changing mechanism will start or remain in place according to the set sightseeing route and the direction of travel of the sightseeing train, so that the sightseeing train can travel from the outer surface of the track-changing mechanism into the main track connected to it to complete the route change. When the sightseeing train runs into the base, the track-changing mechanism works together, so that the sightseeing train does not need to stop or wait, which improves the smoothness of the overall sightseeing experience, and can automatically adjust the track according to the travel direction of the train and the preset route, avoiding manual intervention and improving the degree of automation of the system.

[0014] 2. When the sightseeing train runs on the main track in the base, the radar sensor detects and determines the direction of travel, and then sends the direction signal of the sightseeing train to the controller. The controller will start or maintain the position of the hydraulic rod according to the set sightseeing route and the direction of the sightseeing train. If it is necessary to change the reversing track, the hydraulic rod will push the piston rod throughout the stroke, so that the piston rod pushes the pushing plate on the lower surface of the conversion disk, which can drive the reversing track to rotate 90°. This precise control ensures that the reversing track is accurately docked with another set of main tracks to avoid track misalignment. It can drive the reversing track on the upper surface of the conversion disk to dock with the main track of another group to complete the track conversion, and can allow the sightseeing train to travel from the outer surface of the converted reversing track to the main track connected to it to complete the route conversion. The entire process is completed automatically without human intervention, thereby improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0015] As the conversion plate is pushed and rotated, the conversion plate will rotate in the triangular ring groove of the base through the triangular rollers on the outer surface, so that the triangular rollers can exert a supporting force on the conversion plate in all directions, which can prevent the conversion plate from being tilted when the sightseeing train is running too fast, resulting in the track not being able to dock accurately. This ensures the stability of the track and the accuracy of docking, and ensures that the train will not derail or hit the track during driving. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
