Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rail train maintenance technology, and in particular to a train translation device. Background Technology

[0002] Roller coasters and other similar rides require regular inspections and maintenance based on their operating mileage or time. Any malfunctions discovered during inspections must be repaired promptly. Currently, if an entire roller coaster needs inspection or repair, the entire train must be stopped and parked motionless on its original track until the inspection or repair is completed. If the repair process is lengthy, the entire train will be parked for an extended period, causing the ride to be unable to operate normally for an extended time.

[0003] Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of amusement equipment operation, this application proposes a train translation device, which is suitable for moving the roller coaster to be inspected off the original track when inspecting or repairing the entire roller coaster so that the roller coaster to be inspected can be directly inspected, while the original track can be directly used for the backup train to continue running, thereby ensuring the safety and continuity of roller coaster operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a train translation device.

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a train translation device is provided, which is suitable for moving a roller coaster to be inspected off the roller coaster track so as to facilitate the inspection of the roller coaster to be inspected outside the roller coaster track. The device includes: a fixing frame, a train replacement platform, and two sections of inspection track suitable for placing the roller coaster installed on the train replacement platform; wherein, one of the two sections of inspection track is used as part of the roller coaster track for operating the roller coaster. The mounting bracket is suitable for fixed installation on the ground and located below the roller coaster track to support the fixed train replacement platform; The train replacement platform is mounted on a fixed frame and includes a connecting frame, multiple rolling devices, and a drive device. Two parallel maintenance rails are installed on the connecting frame; Multiple rolling devices are arranged sequentially at the bottom of the two maintenance rails and contact the fixed frame; The drive unit is connected to at least one rolling device to be adapted to move the rolling device on the fixed frame when the roller coaster under maintenance needs to be maintained, so as to move two maintenance tracks on the fixed frame simultaneously, so as to remove the maintenance track, which is currently part of the roller coaster track, from the roller coaster track, and connect the other maintenance track as a replacement track to the roller coaster track.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the fixing frame includes: two or more support columns and a support frame, the support frame is disposed on the top of the two or more support columns, and the top of the support frame is provided with two or more slide rails, the length directions of the two or more slide rails being parallel to each other.

[0007] In one possible implementation, each rolling device includes a mounting component and a traveling wheel; the traveling wheel is disposed inside the mounting component and extends outward through an opening in the mounting component to contact the surface of the slide rail.

[0008] In one possible implementation, each rolling device further includes: two or more driven limit wheels; the two or more driven limit wheels are located on the outside of the mounting member and arranged in two rows, with a preset distance between the two rows of driven limit wheels, the preset distance being adapted to the width of the slide rail.

[0009] In one possible implementation, each rolling device is provided with two driven limit wheels.

[0010] In one possible implementation, multiple tie rods are provided between two or more support columns and the support frame.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the train replacement platform also includes two or more maintenance platforms, which are respectively set on both sides of the length of the two maintenance tracks.

[0012] In one possible implementation, each maintenance track section includes: two parallel rails and sleeper assemblies; Two steel rails are mounted on top of the connecting frame via sleeper assemblies.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the connecting frame includes two or more parallel connecting rods, the length direction of the connecting rods being perpendicular to the length direction of the two maintenance rails, and the connecting rods being suitable for connecting the two maintenance rails into one unit.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the drive unit is a geared motor.

[0015] Beneficial Effects: The mounting frame is suitable for supporting the train replacement platform and providing an installation foundation for its translational movement. When the train replacement platform moves, it can simultaneously move two maintenance tracks. The roller coaster under maintenance and the spare train parked on the two maintenance tracks also move accordingly, thereby removing the roller coaster under maintenance from its original track and simultaneously moving the qualified spare train onto the roller coaster track, thus achieving efficient replacement of the two trains. This application effectively assists in the maintenance of the entire roller coaster train. Furthermore, since the two maintenance tracks can also be replaced, while a roller coaster train under maintenance is parked on one maintenance track, the other maintenance track and the qualified train parked on it can continue to operate, without affecting the operation of the amusement park ride, ensuring the safety and continuity of operations, and reducing the cost of parking inspection and maintenance.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details.

[0025] Figure 1 This diagram shows the main structure of the automatic vehicle moving device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This application shows a main structural diagram of an automatic vehicle moving device according to an embodiment of the present application; as shown Figure 1As shown, this train translation device is suitable for moving a roller coaster under maintenance off the roller coaster track to facilitate maintenance outside the track. It includes: a fixed frame 100, a train replacement platform, and two maintenance tracks 200 installed on the train replacement platform for placing the roller coaster. One of the maintenance tracks 200 serves as part of the roller coaster track for operating the roller coaster. The fixed frame 100 is fixedly installed on the ground below the roller coaster track to support and fix the train replacement platform. The train replacement platform is movably mounted on the fixed frame 100 and includes: a connecting frame, multiple rollers... The device 500 and the drive device 600 are used; two maintenance tracks 200 are mounted parallel to each other on the connecting frame; multiple rolling devices 500 are arranged sequentially at the bottom of the two maintenance tracks 200 and in contact with the fixed frame 100; the drive device 600 is connected to at least one rolling device 500 to be used to drive the rolling device 500 to move on the fixed frame 100 when the roller coaster under maintenance needs to be maintained, so as to drive the two maintenance tracks 200 to move simultaneously on the fixed frame 100, so as to remove the maintenance track 200 that is currently part of the roller coaster track from the roller coaster track, and connect the other maintenance track 200 as a replacement track to the roller coaster track.

[0026] It should be noted that the train replacement platform of this application is suitable for installation at the front or rear of the track relative to the platform. The fixing frame 100 of this application is suitable for fixing to the ground and supporting the train replacement platform above it so that the maintenance track 200 can connect to the roller coaster track, thereby providing an installation foundation for the translation of the train replacement platform. After safe completion, it is necessary to ensure that the maintenance track 200 of the train replacement platform is set horizontally. The train replacement platform is suitable for simultaneously moving the roller coaster to be repaired and the spare train, thereby moving the roller coaster to be repaired off the original roller coaster track and simultaneously moving the spare train into the original roller coaster track, thereby achieving efficient replacement of the two trains. Furthermore, the two maintenance tracks 200 on the train replacement platform are suitable for parking the roller coaster to be inspected and the spare train, respectively. Initially, one section of maintenance track 200 on the train replacement platform is aligned and connected end-to-end with the roller coaster track, forming a complete track. Meanwhile, the other maintenance track 200 on the train replacement platform is located to the side, with a qualified spare train parked above it. When the roller coaster to be inspected enters the train replacement platform and parks, it is positioned on the maintenance track 200 of the train replacement platform, and the connection between the maintenance track 200 and the roller coaster track is disconnected. Then, the drive unit... The 600-driven rolling device 500 moves, which in turn drives the train replacement platform and its two maintenance tracks 200 to move in a translational motion. This causes the maintenance track 200, which was originally connected to the roller coaster track, to detach from the roller coaster track. Meanwhile, the other empty maintenance track 200 on the train replacement platform moves to the original position of the track 200 and connects with the roller coaster tracks in front and behind to form a new complete track. At this time, the spare train parked on this maintenance track 200 is also moved to the position where the roller coaster to be inspected was originally on the roller coaster track. This spare train then takes over the work of the roller coaster to be inspected. This application enables efficient replacement of roller coasters under maintenance with backup trains, effectively assisting in the inspection and maintenance of the entire roller coaster train. Since the two maintenance tracks 200 are also replaced simultaneously, while a train under maintenance is parked on one maintenance track 200, the other maintenance track 200 and the qualified backup train parked on it can continue to operate. This does not affect the normal operation of the entire roller coaster project or the progress of train inspection and maintenance, reducing the cost of stopping for inspection and maintenance and ensuring the safety of operational activities. The overall structure of this application is reasonable and reliable, enabling high-speed replacement of the entire train without the need for large lifting equipment, and providing maintenance space without the need for a dedicated maintenance building, making it widely applicable.

[0027] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6As shown, the mounting frame 100 includes two or more support columns 110 and a support frame. The support frame is positioned on top of the two or more support columns 110, and the top of the support frame is provided with two or more slide rails 121, the length directions of which are parallel to each other. It should be noted that the support columns 110 are used to provide off-ground support for the support frame, ensuring that the maintenance track 200 above the support frame is flush with the roller coaster track at the same height, thus preventing misalignment between the maintenance track 200 and the roller coaster track from affecting the normal operation of the roller coaster train.

[0028] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the top of the support column 110 is provided with a first connecting plate 114, which has multiple bolt holes suitable for connecting the support frame. The bottom of the support column 110 is provided with a plug rod 111, the length direction of the plug rod 111 is parallel to the length direction of the support column 110, and the end face area of ​​the plug rod 111 is smaller than the end face area of ​​the support column 110. The plug rod 111 is suitable for being inserted into the ground to improve the grounding stability of the support column 110. The end of the support column 110 with the plug rod 111 is provided with a flange 112, which is suitable for inserting expansion bolts.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body of the support column 110 is a cylindrical structure, and the main body of the insertion rod 111 is a cylindrical structure.

[0030] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the support frame includes: two or more parallel horizontal beams 120, and two or more vertical beams 130 between each pair of adjacent horizontal beams 120. The two ends of the vertical beams 130 are fixed to the horizontal beams 120 via second connecting plates 122. Further, as... Figure 9 As shown, one end of the second connecting plate 122 is fixed to the crossbeam 120 by welding. The second connecting plate 122 has two or more bolt holes 123. The end of the vertical beam 130 also has two or more bolt holes. The second connecting plate 122 and the vertical beam 130 are fixed by bolt connection to achieve vertical connection between the crossbeam 120 and the vertical beam 130.

[0031] Furthermore, each crossbeam 120 is provided with a slide rail 121, the length direction of the slide rail 121 is parallel to the length direction of the crossbeam 120 and the moving direction of the maintenance track 200, and the rolling device 500 is suitable for sliding on the slide rail 121.

[0032] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7As shown, each slide rail 121 has a stop block 150 at both ends, and the stop block 150 is mounted on the crossbeam 120 via a first connector 151. Furthermore, the main body of the stop block 150 is a rectangular plate structure. One side of the first connector 151 is bolted to the top surface of the crossbeam 120, and the other side of the first connector 151 is bolted to the stop block 150, so that the stop block 150 is vertically mounted on the crossbeam 120.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, there are three crossbeams 120, and three vertical beams 130 are provided between every two adjacent crossbeams 120. Preferably, both the crossbeams 120 and the vertical beams 130 are made of H-beams.

[0034] In one possible implementation, each square formed by the crossbeams 120 and the vertical beams 130 is provided with a tie rod 140, and the two ends of the tie rod 140 are connected to the two crossbeams 120 through a third connecting plate 125; as shown Figure 9 As shown, one end of the third connecting plate 125 is fixed to the crossbeam 120 by welding. The third connecting plate 125 has through holes for bolts to pass through. Both ends of the tie rod 140 are provided with fourth connecting plates 141. The fourth connecting plates 141 have through holes for bolts to pass through. The fourth connecting plates 141 and the third connecting plate 125 are connected by bolts 142 to realize the connection between the tie rod 140 and the crossbeam 120.

[0035] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, two tie rods 140 are provided between the two vertical beams 130 in the middle and the support columns 110 on both sides. The two tie rods 140 form a V-shaped structure with the opening facing downward. One end of the tie rod 140 is connected to the vertical beam 130 through the fifth connecting plate 131, and the other end of the tie rod 140 is connected to the support column 110 through the sixth connecting plate 113. One end of the fifth connecting plate 131 is fixed to the vertical beam 130 by welding. The fifth connecting plate 131 has a through hole for bolts to pass through. Both ends of the tie rod 140 are provided with a fourth connecting plate 141. The fourth connecting plate 141 has a through hole for bolts to pass through. The fourth connecting plate 141 and the fifth connecting plate 131 are connected by bolts to realize the connection between the tie rod 140 and the vertical beam 130. One end of the sixth connecting plate 113 is fixed to the support column 110 by welding. The sixth connecting plate 113 has a through hole for bolts to pass through. The fourth connecting plate 141 of the tie rod 140 and the sixth connecting plate 113 are connected by bolts to realize the connection between the tie rod 140 and the support column 110.

[0036] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6As shown, the fixed frame 100 also includes two or more support beams 160, which are arranged on the top of the support frame to support the maintenance platform 700, and the two or more support beams 160 are arranged parallel to each other with the crossbeam 120; furthermore, there are a total of three support beams 160.

[0037] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, each rolling device 500 includes a mounting member 510 and a traveling wheel 550. The mounting member 510 has a cavity with one open end, and the open end of the mounting member 510 faces the slide rail 121. The traveling wheel 550 is disposed inside the mounting member 510, and the traveling wheel 550 protrudes from the mounting member 510 through the opening and contacts the surface of the slide rail 121. Further, the main body of the mounting member 510 has a cuboid structure. The plate 520 at the top of the mounting member 510 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the maintenance track 200. The traveling wheel 550 is rotatably disposed inside the cavity of the mounting member 510. The traveling wheel 550 contacts the upper surface of the slide rail 121 through the opening at the bottom of the mounting member 510. When the traveling wheel 550 rotates along the length of the slide rail 121, it drives the train replacement platform above to move.

[0038] Furthermore, the traveling wheel 550 is connected to the mounting component 510 via its own connecting shaft. Both ends of the connecting shaft pass into the holes on both sides of the mounting component 510 to install the traveling wheel 550. It should also be noted that, in order to improve the smoothness of the traveling wheel 550, a bearing can be installed between the connecting shaft of the traveling wheel 500 and the mounting component 510.

[0039] Preferably, the traveling wheel 550 is a rubber-coated wheel, which can improve the friction between the traveling wheel and the slide rail 121.

[0040] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 13 As shown, each rolling device 500 further includes: two or more driven limit wheels 540; the two or more driven limit wheels 540 are located on the outside of the mounting member 510 and arranged in two rows, with a preset distance between the two rows of driven limit wheels 540, and the two rows of driven limit wheels 540 are respectively located on both sides of the slide rail 121. It should be noted that when the traveling wheel 550 runs on the slide rail 121, it may generate lateral force due to centrifugal force of curves, unevenness of the slide rail 121, uneven load, improper operation, etc., which may easily cause the traveling wheel 550 to detach from the slide rail 121. The driven limit wheels 540 on both sides of the slide rail 121 are used to provide additional lateral restraint for the traveling wheel 550, ensuring that the traveling wheel 550 always rolls on the slide rail 121 to avoid tipping over and derailing.

[0041] Furthermore, each rolling device 500 is equipped with two driven limit wheels 540.

[0042] In one possible implementation, two driven limit wheels 540 are disposed on the outside of the mounting member 510 via a second connecting member 530; as shown Figure 13 As shown, the main body of the second connector 530 is an L-shaped plate structure. One side of the second connector 530 is fixedly connected to the mounting part 510 by welding. The other side of the second connector 530 is provided with a threaded hole. The screw of the driven limit wheel 540 passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the second connector 530, so that the driven limit wheel 540 is placed horizontally on both sides of the slide rail 121, and the two driven limit wheels 540 clamp the slide rail 121 in the middle.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 16 As shown, each slide rail 121 is in contact with four rolling devices 500. Two of these rolling devices 500 are located at the bottom of one section of the maintenance track 200, and the other two are located at the bottom of another section of the maintenance track 200. Since there are three crossbeams 120, there are also three slide rails 121. Therefore, six rolling devices 500 are fixed at the bottom of each section of the maintenance track 200 to improve the smoothness of the movement of the maintenance track 200.

[0044] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the rolling device 500 near both ends of the maintenance track 200 is provided with anti-collision member 560, and the anti-collision member 560 is located on the side of the mounting member 510 facing the stop block 150 and opposite to the stop block 150. The anti-collision member 560 is a cylindrical structure made of soft material to avoid the maintenance track 200 rigidly impacting the stop block 150 during movement.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 25 As shown, the drive unit 600 is connected to the traveling wheel 550 of one of the rolling devices 500, and the housing of the drive unit 600 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting member 510 of the rolling device 500. The output shaft of the drive unit 600 passes through the side wall of the mounting member 510 and is connected to the connecting shaft of the traveling wheel 550, thereby driving the traveling wheel 550 to rotate through the connecting shaft. Preferably, the drive unit 600 is a geared motor, so that when the geared motor is working, it can drive the traveling wheel 550 to rotate, so that the traveling wheel 550 can move along the length of the slide rail 121 on the slide rail 121, and drive the maintenance rail 200 above the mounting member 510 to move.

[0046] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10As shown, each section of the maintenance track 200 includes: two parallel steel rails 210 and a sleeper assembly 270; the two steel rails 210 are suspended from the top of the connecting frame via the sleeper assembly 270. The two steel rails 210 are mounted on the sleeper assembly 270, which is installed on the connecting frame to provide stable support for the two steel rails 210; further, the sleeper assembly 270 includes: a first sleeper 220, a second sleeper 240, and two or more connecting sleepers 230; the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are parallel to each other on the connecting frame, and the length directions of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rail 121; the two or more connecting sleepers 230 are vertically mounted on the first sleeper 220. The first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are arranged sequentially along the length of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240; the two end faces of two or more connecting sleepers 230 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two rails 210, and the two or more connecting sleepers 230 securely install the two rails 210 on the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240, and make the length of the two rails 210 perpendicular to the length of the slide rail 121, so as to ensure that the two rails 210 can be translated laterally (perpendicular to the direction of the train).

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 18 As shown, the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 have the same structure. Their main bodies are long and strip-shaped with an "I"-shaped cross-section. The bottom surfaces of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame by welding. The bottom surfaces of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are also fixedly connected to the mounting parts 510 of the rolling device 500. The top surfaces of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 are provided with multiple bolt holes 222, which are suitable for connecting to the connecting sleeper 230 by bolt connection.

[0048] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 23 As shown, there are two or more first sleepers 220 and second sleepers 240, and each first sleeper 220 is connected to the next by multiple bolts 261. Furthermore, multiple bolt holes 225 are provided at the ends where the two first sleepers 220 are connected. When the two first sleepers 220 are connected, three seventh connecting plates 260 cover the three sides where the two first sleepers 220 are connected. Bolts 261 pass through the seventh connecting plates 260 and the first sleepers 220, thus connecting the two first sleepers 220 into a single unit through the seventh connecting plates 260. It should be noted that the number of first sleepers 220 and second sleepers 240 can be set according to the length of the train.

[0049] Furthermore, the cross-sectional structure of the steel rail 210 must be identical to that of the roller coaster track to ensure that the maintenance track 200 of this application can form a complete and consistent track with the roller coaster track, ensuring the normal operation of the roller coaster; in one possible implementation, the main body of the steel rail 210 is cylindrical, and both ends of the two steel rails 210 are provided with connecting blocks 250, which are suitable for reinforcing connections with the preceding and following roller coaster tracks through the connecting blocks 250, such as... Figure 15 As shown, a connecting part protrudes from the outer wall of the rail 210, and the connecting part is connected to the connecting block 250 by bolts.

[0050] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 18 As shown, multiple first reinforcing ribs 221 are provided on the opposite side walls of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240. The multiple first reinforcing ribs 221 are arranged sequentially along the length of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240, which is suitable for improving the structural strength of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 and preventing deformation caused by stress when supporting the train.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 19 As shown, the connecting sleeper 230 includes: an upper plate 231, a lower plate 232, and two intermediate plates 233; the main body of the upper plate 231 and the lower plate 232 are both I-shaped plate structures, the upper plate 231 and the lower plate 232 are arranged parallel to each other, the two intermediate plates 233 are arranged vertically between the upper plate 231 and the lower plate 232, and the upper and lower sides of the two intermediate plates 233 are fixedly connected to the upper plate 231 and the lower plate 232 by welding, respectively. Bolt holes 234 are opened at both ends of the lower plate 232, which are suitable for bolts that pass through the connecting first sleeper 220 or second sleeper 240. Both ends of the two intermediate plates 233 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, which match the shape of the side wall of the rail 210. The rail 210 is embedded in the arc-shaped grooves and is fixedly connected to the intermediate plates 233 by welding. Under the combined action of multiple connecting sleepers 230, the two rails 210 at both ends are stably suspended above the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240.

[0052] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 17 As shown, each section of maintenance track 200 also includes two or more wheel clamping devices 300, which are connected to the sleeper assembly 270 and located between the two rails 210. Further, as... Figure 20As shown, the wheel clamping device 300 includes: a first clamping wheel 310, a second clamping wheel 320, a first mounting bracket 370, and a second driving device 330; the output shaft of the second driving device 330 is connected to the center of the first clamping wheel 310 to drive the first clamping wheel 310 to rotate, the first clamping wheel 310 and the second clamping wheel 320 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first clamping wheel 310 can move in a direction toward or away from the second clamping wheel 320.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the second drive unit 330 is mounted inside the sleeper assembly 270 via the first mounting bracket 370, and the first clamping wheel 310 protrudes out of the plane containing the two rails 210. Figure 21 As shown, bolt holes 373 are provided at both ends of the first mounting bracket 370, as... Figure 18 As shown, bolt holes 224 are provided on the top of the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240. When the two ends of the first mounting bracket 370 are placed above the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240, the bolt holes 373 and the bolt holes 224 are opposite each other, so that the first mounting bracket 370 is connected to the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 by means of bolt connection.

[0054] Furthermore, the first mounting bracket 370 is made of angle steel; two or more second reinforcing ribs 371 are connected to the two inner walls of the first mounting bracket 370, and the two or more second reinforcing ribs 371 are evenly arranged along the length of the first mounting bracket 370. Four elongated bolt holes 372 are provided on the side of the first mounting bracket 370 that connects to the second driving device 330, which are suitable for passing through bolts 374. The length of the elongated bolt holes 372 is parallel to the length of the first mounting bracket 370. The second driving device 330 is mounted on the side wall of the first mounting bracket 370 by four bolts 374. Since the bolts 374 can move along their length within the elongated bolt holes 372, the second driving device 330 and the first clamping wheel 310 can move toward or away from the second clamping wheel 320.

[0055] Preferably, the second drive device 330 is a geared motor.

[0056] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 20As shown, it also includes: a tightening screw 361 and a fixing block 360. The fixing block 360 is located on the side of the first mounting bracket 370 that connects to the second driving device 330 and is adjacent to the second driving device 330. The fixing block 360 has a through hole for the tightening screw 361 to pass through. One end of the tightening screw 361 passes through the through hole of the fixing block 360 and abuts against the side wall of the second driving device 330. Two nuts 362 are screwed onto the tightening screw 361 and are respectively close to the opposite sides of the fixing block 360 to fix the tightening screw 361, so that the tightening screw 361 tightens the second driving device 330.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the second clamping wheel 320 is mounted inside the sleeper assembly 270 via a second mounting bracket 350, and the second clamping wheel 320 protrudes from the plane of the two rails 210 and is at the same height as the first clamping wheel 310. Further, the second mounting bracket 350 is made of angle steel and has two or more third reinforcing ribs on its inner side. One side of the second mounting bracket 350 is mounted on the second sleeper 240, and the other side of the second mounting bracket 350 has multiple bolt holes, such as... Figure 18 As shown, both the first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 have bolt holes 223 on their tops. When the second mounting bracket 350 is placed above the second sleeper 240, the bolt holes of the second mounting bracket 350 and the bolt holes 223 are aligned one-to-one, so that the second mounting bracket 350 and the second sleeper 240 are connected by bolts. Figure 20 As shown, the central shaft of the second clamping wheel 320 passes through the inner rings of the two bearings 340, and the two bearing seats of the two bearings 340 are mounted on the side wall of the second mounting bracket 350 by bolts 341, thereby realizing the installation of the second clamping wheel 320.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 17 As shown, two or more wheeled clamping devices 300 are arranged on the maintenance track 200 with increasing spacing between them, and the arrangement of the wheeled clamping devices 300 on both sections of the maintenance track 200 is the same, with seven wheeled clamping devices 300 on each section of the maintenance track 200. It should be noted that the first clamping wheel 310 and the second clamping wheel 320 of the wheeled clamping device 300 are used to contact both sides of the structural plate at the bottom of the roller coaster train and clamp the structural plate, so that when the second drive device 330 drives the first clamping wheel 310 to rotate, the first clamping wheel 310 can drive the roller coaster train to move on the maintenance track 200 through the structural plate at the bottom of the roller coaster train, so as to ensure that the roller coaster train is finally parked in a suitable position on the maintenance track 200 after entering the train replacement platform.

[0059] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 12As shown, the connecting frame includes two or more parallel connecting rods 400, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the length direction of the two maintenance rail sections 200. The connecting rods 400 are used to connect the two maintenance rail sections 200 into one unit, thereby enabling simultaneous movement of the two maintenance rail sections 200. Further, the connecting frame includes six parallel connecting rods 400, with the distance between any two adjacent connecting rods 400 being the same. The first sleeper 220 and the second sleeper 240 of the two maintenance rail sections 200 are perpendicularly mounted on the top surface of all the connecting rods 400 and are fixed to the connecting rods 400 by welding.

[0060] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the train replacement platform also includes two or more maintenance platforms 700, which are respectively set on both sides of the length of the two maintenance tracks 200. Furthermore, the maintenance platform 700 has a U-shaped cross-section, with its length direction parallel to that of the maintenance track 200. The bottom of the maintenance platform 700 is placed on a connecting frame and fixedly connected to it, and the opening of the maintenance platform 700 faces upwards. Maintenance personnel can walk on the maintenance platform 700 to inspect and repair the roller coaster to be inspected on the maintenance track 200 beside the maintenance platform 700.

[0061] Furthermore, there are four maintenance platforms 700 in total, with one maintenance platform 700 on each side of the length of each maintenance track 200.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the train replacement platform further includes two or more guardrails 800, which are respectively installed on the side of each maintenance platform 700 away from the maintenance track 200 to provide protection and ensure the safety of personnel on the maintenance platform 700. Figure 24 As shown, the main body of the guardrail 800 is a rectangular frame structure. Two or more support rods 810 are provided along the length of the guardrail 800. The top of the two or more support rods 810 is fixedly connected to the top of the guardrail 800. The bottom of each of the two or more support rods 810 is provided with a third connector 820 and is fixedly connected to the third connector 820. Each third connector 820 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod 400. The stable installation of the guardrail 800 is achieved through the connection between the third connector 820 and the support rod 810.
