Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sightseeing vehicles, and particularly relates to a suspension system of a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose transportation sightseeing vehicle. Technical Background

[0002] Sightseeing vehicles have the advantages of simple operation, flexible steering, energy conservation, environmental protection, and long service life, so they are widely used as shuttle vehicles in scenic spots, parks, stations, hotels and other places. Land-based sightseeing vehicles can only run on the ground, and in some scenic spots with large slopes, sharp turns, and ravines, land-based sightseeing vehicles cannot perform traffic functions.

[0003] Suspended monorail transportation vehicles are suspended under the track beam and can realize traffic functions in special sites such as elevated, large slopes, and small turning radii. Moreover, suspended monorail transportation vehicles with fully automatic driverless technology are more efficient and reliable. Currently, pre-research has been carried out in more than a dozen cities in China for suspended monorail transportation projects, and individual cities have been approved and started construction (such as the Wuhan Optics Valley Skyrail Tourism Line project). Therefore, suspended monorail transportation has broad market prospects, especially in occasions such as small and medium-capacity scenic spots.

[0004] Scenic spots use two different types of sightseeing vehicles for different land and air viewing situations. The tourist viewing mode and process are as follows:

[0005] 1. When tourists enter a scenic area and encounter a large area, they take the land-based sightseeing vehicles set in the scenic area for rapid transfer and viewing.

[0006] 2. At places where aerial viewing is required, transfer to a suspended monorail transportation vehicle to continue viewing.

[0007] There are two problems with these two different viewing methods:

[0008] 1. The land-based sightseeing vehicle and the suspended monorail transportation vehicle are separated, and tourists need to transfer separately. To shorten the tourist viewing time, in the case of a large number of tourists during the peak tourist season, there is a hidden danger that the vehicle scheduling arrangement supply is insufficient, resulting in dissatisfaction among tourists' experience.

[0009] 2. Scenic spots not only need to configure sightseeing vehicles but also need to configure suspended monorail transportation vehicles, which increases the equipment purchase cost, and further increases the tourist viewing consumption, affecting the economic benefits of the scenic area.

[0010] Therefore, how to seamlessly connect the sightseeing vehicle and the monorail vehicle so that passengers can enjoy the land-air integrated viewing service without transferring is an urgent problem to be solved by scenic spots with air travel at present. Summary of the Invention

[0011] According to the technical problems in the field of sightseeing vehicles described above, the present utility model solves the problem of tourists transferring between sightseeing vehicles in two types of scenic spots, namely on land and in the air. The present utility model is a suspension system for a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle, achieving the technical effect that the sightseeing vehicle can perform transportation functions both on land and in the air. The technical solution of the present utility model is: adding a suspension system of a suspended monorail vehicle to the roof of a land-based sightseeing vehicle. When the suspension system of the suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle is in the road traffic mode state, it can run normally on land; when the suspension system is in the air traffic mode state, it changes from the land operation mode to the railway operation mode, and the driving device drives the sightseeing vehicle to continue running in the air. When a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle involved in the present utility model runs in the railway operation mode state, it needs to be combined with the track beam supporting the suspension system to achieve driving.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the suspension system of a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle mainly consists of: a suspension bracket, a driving mechanism, a stabilizing wheel assembly, and a guiding wheel assembly.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present utility model, for the suspension system of a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle, the suspension bracket mainly consists of a main bracket, a connecting bracket, a slewing bearing, fastener one, and fastener two.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present utility model, for the suspension system of a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle, the driving mechanism consists of an outer rotor hub motor, a braking device, a tire, a driving gear, and fastener three.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present utility model, for the suspension system of a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle, a rack device is provided on the inner bottom surface of the track beam supporting the suspension system. The rack device corresponds to the driving gear in terms of shape and structure. Description of the Drawings

[0021] Attached Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the state when the suspension system of the present utility model is combined with the track beam for driving. Specific embodiments

[0022] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 shown, is a schematic diagram of the structure of the suspension system. The suspension system mainly consists of a suspension bracket 11, a driving mechanism 12, a stabilizing wheel assembly 13, and a guiding wheel assembly 14. On the side surface of the suspension bracket 11, 4 groups of guiding wheel assemblies 14 are arranged. On the top surface of the suspension bracket 11, 2 groups of stabilizing wheel assemblies 13 are arranged.

[0024] To ensure interchangeability, the structures of the stabilizing wheel assembly 13 and the guiding wheel assembly 14 are exactly the same, but their functions are different. During operation, the guiding wheel assembly 14 always contacts the inner side surface of the track beam. When the sightseeing vehicle passes through a curve, the guiding wheel receives the guiding force from the inner vertical surface of the track beam, thereby guiding the sightseeing vehicle to run along a certain curve. When the sightseeing vehicle passes through a large ramp, the stabilizing wheel assembly 13 always contacts the inner side surface of the top plate of the track beam, playing a role in stabilizing the sightseeing vehicle.

[0025] As attached Figure 2 shown, is a schematic diagram of the structure of the suspension bracket 11. The suspension bracket 11 mainly consists of a main bracket 111, a connecting bracket 112, a slewing bearing 113, a fastener one 114, and a fastener two 115. The main bracket 111 has holes for installing the driving mechanism 12, the stabilizing wheel assembly 13, and the guiding wheel assembly 14. The main bracket 111 and the connecting bracket 112 are connected by welding. The connecting bracket 112 and the slewing bearing 113 are connected by the fastener two 115. The fastener one 114 is used to connect the suspension system to an existing sightseeing vehicle.

[0026] The inner ring of the slewing bearing 113 is connected to the connecting bracket 112; the outer ring is connected to the suspension disc. The inner ring and the outer ring of the slewing bearing 113 can rotate relative to each other, enabling the sightseeing vehicle to easily pass through the curved section.

[0027] Attached Figure 3The following is a schematic structural diagram of the drive mechanism 12. The drive mechanism 12 is composed of an outer rotor hub motor 121, a braking device 122, tires 123, drive gears 124, and fasteners three 125. There are two tires 123 in total, covering both sides of the outer circumference of the outer rotor hub motor 121. The drive gears 124 are also symmetrically arranged on the outer circumference of the outer rotor hub motor 121 and are located inside the tires 123. The drive gears 124 are directly cast integrally with the outer ring of the outer rotor hub motor 121 and then the gear teeth are machined. The drive mechanism 12 is directly fixed on the suspension bracket 111 through the fasteners three 125. The tires 123 are solid tires, avoiding the risks caused by air leakage of pneumatic tires and improving the operation reliability and maintainability.

[0028] Appendix Figure 4 And the following is a schematic structural diagram of the track beam 4 of the present utility model. A rack device 5 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the track beam 4, and the shape and structure of the rack device 5 correspond to those of the drive gear 124.

[0029] Appendix Figure 4-1 Is Figure 4 The partial enlarged view of the П part in the appendix.

[0030] Appendix Figure 5 The following is a schematic diagram of the state when the suspension system of the present utility model is combined with the track beam for driving. When the suspension system is in the air for the railway operation mode, the suspension system is combined with the track beam 4, and the drive gear 124 and the rack device 5 with corresponding shapes and structures cooperate to drive the suspension system and the sightseeing vehicle to continue running.

[0031] The present utility model technology has achieved the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. Solve the traffic problems on large-gradient lines in scenic areas

[0033] In the prior art, the running wheels of suspended monorail vehicles use rubber tires, and the friction between the rubber tires and the inner bottom plate of the track beam is used to drive the monorail vehicle to run. When the gradient of the viewing line in the scenic area increases, the friction state between the rubber tires and the inner bottom plate of the track beam is gradually damaged, and even the phenomenon of slipping occurs. At present, the climbing ability of suspended monorail vehicles is generally about 100‰, but the lines in scenic spots exceed this gradient. When the sightseeing vehicle equipped with the suspension system of the present utility model climbs a slope, on the basis of the existing rubber wheel drive, the gear-rack drive mechanism is timely cut in, realizing the dual drive of rubber wheels and gears when going uphill, and greatly alleviating the friction state between the rubber tires and the inner bottom plate of the track beam.

[0034] 2. Reduce the operation and management cost of scenic area sightseeing transportation.

[0035] At present, in scenic spots with suspended monorail transit systems, multiple land-based sightseeing vehicles and suspended monorail vehicles need to be configured. The increase in the number of vehicles not only increases the operating costs of the scenic area but also increases the maintenance costs of the subsequent transportation system. Therefore, the suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle that operates in a land-air integrated dual-mode not only reduces the equipment purchase cost but also saves the high maintenance costs in the later stage.

[0036] 3. Optimize the tourist travel experience

[0037] Using a suspended monorail land-air dual-purpose sightseeing vehicle involved in the present utility model not only saves the viewing time lost by tourists due to transfers but also avoids various hidden dangers caused by insufficient vehicle scheduling arrangements during the peak tourist season. By providing external equipment and facility services that facilitate tourists' viewing, the purpose of increasing tourists' satisfaction with the scenic area services is achieved.
