[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a rail bus system 100 includes: a rail vehicle 10 and a track 20. The rail vehicle 10 includes: a car body 11 and a wheel system assembly 12. The wheel system assembly 12 is mounted to the bottom of the car body 11. A bogie 111 is provided at the bottom of the car body 11. The wheel system assembly 12 includes: a drive unit 12b, a load-bearing wheel set, and an auxiliary wheel set. The auxiliary wheel set is used to assist the car body 11 in maintaining balance. The auxiliary wheel set is mounted to the bogie 111. The load-bearing wheel set is centrally located at the bottom of the car body 11. The drive unit 12b drives the load-bearing wheel set to rotate, causing the rail vehicle 10 to travel along the track 20. The load-bearing wheel set includes: a left load-bearing wheel 127 and a right load-bearing wheel 128. The ratio of the distance between the left load-bearing wheel 127 and the right load-bearing wheel 128 to the width of the car body 11 is 1:35-1:45. Specifically, the ratio of the distance between the left load-bearing wheel 127 and the right load-bearing wheel 128 to the width of the vehicle body 11 is 1:40. In other words, the structural configuration of the load-bearing wheel assembly 122 is more suitable for narrower tracks, especially overhead tracks.
[0030] The auxiliary wheel assembly includes: a left guide wheel 121, a right guide wheel 122, a left stabilizing wheel 123, and a right stabilizing wheel 124. The track 20 includes: a surface layer 21, a base 22, a left guide member 23, and a right guide member 24. The surface layer 21 is installed to the base 22; the surface layer 22 is located between the load-bearing wheel assembly and the base 22. Parts of the left guide member 23 and the right guide member 24 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the surface layer 21, and the other parts of the left guide member 23 and the right guide member 24 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the base 22. The left guide wheel 121 abuts against the left guide member 23 and moves along the left guide member 23. The right guide wheel 122 abuts against the right guide member 24 and moves along the right guide member 24. The left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 22 and abut against both sides of the base 22, rolling along the surface of the base 22. Specifically, the structure of the auxiliary wheel set can help the car body 11 maintain balance and improve the stability and balance of the rail vehicle 10.
[0031] In one specific implementation, the wheel assembly consists of 12 pneumatic tires. The wheel assembly 12 also includes an emergency wheel set. The emergency wheel set is mounted to the bogie 111. The emergency wheel set includes a left emergency wheel 125 and a right emergency wheel 126. The left emergency wheel 125 and right emergency wheel 126 are respectively positioned above the left guide member 23 and the right guide member 24. In the event of a tire blowout in the load-bearing wheel assembly, the left emergency wheel 125 and / or the right emergency wheel 126 will abut against their corresponding left guide member 23 and right guide member 24 as the car body sinks, providing auxiliary support and preventing the rail vehicle from tilting excessively and overturning. Even after a tire blowout and subsequent overturning, the emergency wheel set can serve as an emergency measure, allowing the rail vehicle to travel to the repair position in a short time.
[0032] In one specific implementation, the left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124 are pneumatic tires. A balance wheel 12a is installed on both the left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124. In the event of a tire blowout in the left stabilizing wheel 123 or the right stabilizing wheel 124, the balance wheel 12a replaces the left and right stabilizing wheels to provide balance.
[0033] As an optional implementation, the wheel assembly 12 further includes a stabilizing wheel frame. The left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124 are both mounted to the stabilizing wheel frame. The stabilizing wheel frame includes a fixed portion and a movable portion.

When the left guide wheel 121, right guide wheel 122, left stabilizing wheel 123, and right stabilizing wheel 124 simultaneously experience tire blowouts, the elastic element applies a force to the movable portion, causing the balance wheel 12a to abut against both sides of the track 20, thereby assisting the vehicle body 11 in maintaining balance and preventing the vehicle body 11 from overturning.
[0034] In one specific implementation, the base 22 further includes: a track top plate 223, a track bottom plate 224, a left outer vertical plate 221, a right outer vertical plate 222, and a reinforcing rod assembly. The reinforcing rod assembly is used to prevent deformation of the base. The left stabilizing wheel 123 abuts against the left outer vertical plate 221 and moves along the left outer vertical plate 221. The right stabilizing wheel 124 abuts against the right outer vertical plate 222 and moves along the right outer vertical plate 222. Specifically, the left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124 abut against the left outer vertical plate 221 and the right outer vertical plate 222 respectively, so that the left stabilizing wheel 123 and the right stabilizing wheel 124 can clamp the base 22 from both sides, improving the stability of the rail vehicle 10. The two ends of the track top plate 223 and track bottom plate 224 are respectively fixed to the left outer vertical plate 221 and the right outer vertical plate 222. The reinforcing rod group is set in the space 22a enclosed by the track top plate 223, track bottom plate 224, left outer vertical plate 221 and right outer vertical plate 222, and is fixed to the track top plate 223, track bottom plate 224, left outer vertical plate 221 and right outer vertical plate 222.
[0035] In one specific implementation, the reinforcing rod assembly includes: a first steel plate 225, a second steel plate 226, a first channel steel 227, a second channel steel 228, and a third channel steel 229. The first steel plate 225 is connected to the second steel plate 226. One end of the first steel plate 225 is installed at the angle between the left outer vertical plate 221 and the track top plate 223, and the other end of the first steel plate 225 is installed to the track bottom plate 224. One end of the second steel plate 226 is installed at the angle between the right outer vertical plate 222 and the track top plate 223, and the other end of the first steel plate 225 is installed to the track bottom plate 224. One end of both the first channel steel 227 and the second channel steel 228 is installed to the track top plate 223, and the other end of both the first channel steel 227 and the second channel steel 228 is installed to the track bottom plate 224. One end of the third channel steel 229 is installed to the left outer vertical plate 221, and the other end of the third channel steel 229 is installed to the right outer vertical plate 222. The first channel steel 227 is parallel to the second channel steel 228. Both the first channel steel 227 and the second channel steel 228 intersect and are perpendicular to the third channel steel 229. Specifically, the structural arrangement of the reinforcing rod group 225 can prevent the rail vehicle 10 from exerting force on the rail 20 during operation, thereby preventing deformation of the rail 20, increasing the strength of the rail 20, and improving the stability of the rail 20.
[0036] In one specific implementation, the first steel plate 225, the second steel plate 226, the first channel steel 227, the second channel steel 228, and the third channel steel 229 are welded into a whole.
[0037] In one specific implementation, the surface layer 21 is an asphalt layer. The asphalt layer contains multiple first reinforcing bars 211 and multiple second reinforcing bars 212. The first reinforcing bars 211 are arranged longitudinally. The second reinforcing bars 212 are arranged transversely. The track top plate 223, the left guide member 23, and the right guide member 24 together form a groove 30. The asphalt layer is laid within the groove 30. Specifically, the structural arrangement of the first reinforcing bars 211 and the second reinforcing bars 212 enhances the adhesion of the asphalt layer.
[0038] In one specific implementation, the rail bus system 100 also includes a track frame. The track frame has a crossbeam 40 and two uprights 50. The two ends of the crossbeam 40 are connected to the two uprights 50 respectively. A base 22 is mounted to the crossbeam 40.
