Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sightseeing vehicle technology, specifically relating to a guide device for a monorail sightseeing vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of tourism, monorail sightseeing vehicles have been widely used in scenic areas and other locations. However, existing monorail sightseeing vehicle guidance systems have several shortcomings when facing complex and changing track conditions and operating environments. For example, traditional guide wheel structures are fixed, making it difficult to adjust their position and angle in a timely manner according to subtle changes in the track. This leads to swaying and deviation during operation, affecting not only the passenger experience but also posing safety hazards. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the connections between components in some existing guidance systems tend to loosen, affecting the stability of their guiding function. In addition, existing guidance systems often lack sufficient adaptability to different specifications of monorail tracks, requiring frequent component replacements or complex adjustments to ensure normal operation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing guidance system for monorail sightseeing vehicles to enhance their operational stability, safety, and adaptability to different track conditions. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a guide device for a monorail sightseeing vehicle, comprising a bogie 1, rubber wheels 2, a suspension system 3, bolt assembly 4, a first mounting base 5, a transmission belt 6, a driver 7, an axle 8, and a second mounting base 9.

[0028] The second mounting base 9 has a set of bogies 1 fixedly connected to one end and another set of bogies fixedly connected to the other end. The rubber wheels 2 are located at both ends of the axle 8. The two rubber wheels 2 are connected to the bogies 1 through the axle 8. Both rubber wheels 2 are located on the inner side of the bogies 1. The first mounting base 5 is located at the bottom of the bogies 1. The suspension system 3 is connected to the bogies 1 at one end and to the first mounting base 5 through the bolt assembly 4 at the other end. The driver 7 is connected to the axle 8 through the transmission belt 6 and is mounted on the second mounting base 9.

[0029] In the practical application of this embodiment, the connection point between the axle 8 and the bogie 1 is provided with a hinge structure for adjusting the position of the rubber wheel 2. The hinge structure includes a pin, and the axle 8 is hinged to the bogie 1 through the pin. The end of the pin is provided with a locking nut or a clamping plate, and the rubber wheel 2 can rotate around the axle 8 to adjust the angle.

[0030] In the practical application of this embodiment, the suspension system 3 includes multiple springs 10. One end of each spring 10 is fixedly connected to the first mounting base 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bogie 1 via a bolt assembly 4. This structural design can buffer and dampen shocks, improving ride comfort and operational stability.

[0031] In the practical application of this embodiment, the bolt assembly 4 includes a bolt and a nut, with the bolt passing through the suspension system 3 and the first mounting base 5 and secured by the nut. This structural design ensures the reliability of the connection.

[0032] In the practical application of this embodiment, both the first mounting base 5 and the second mounting base 9 are fixed to the bottom of the sightseeing vehicle.

[0033] In the practical application of this embodiment, the transmission belt 6 is a synchronous belt, and the driver 7 is a motor.

[0034] In the practical application of this embodiment, the bogie 1 is made of metal, and the outer surface of the rubber wheel 2 is provided with anti-slip texture. This structural design, with the metal material having sufficient strength and rigidity, and the anti-slip texture increasing the friction between the bogie and the track, prevents slippage.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] When the drive unit 7 starts, it drives the axle 8 to rotate via the transmission belt 6. The axle 8 then drives the rubber wheel 2 to roll on the monorail, thus propelling the sightseeing vehicle forward. During operation, the rubber wheel 2 can adjust its angle by rotating around the axle 8 according to changes in the track, and its position can be adjusted via the hinge structure between the axle 8 and the bogie 1 to adapt to changes in the track. At the same time, the springs in the suspension system 3 extend and retract when encountering uneven tracks or vibrations, thus buffering and absorbing shocks.

[0037] The position adjustment steps are as follows:

[0038] Loosen the bolt assembly 4 connecting the axle 8 and the bogie 1; push the axle 8 along the guide rail and adjust the lateral / longitudinal distance between the rubber wheel 2 and the rail to adapt to different track gauges or track offsets; after adjustment, retighten the bolt assembly 4 to fix the position of the axle 8 by friction.

[0039] The angle adjustment steps are as follows:

[0040] Loosen the locking nut or clamping plate of the hinge pin; rotate the axle 8 to deflect the rubber wheel 2 around the axis of the bogie 1 to the required angle, such as tilting it inward by 3°~5° when turning; tighten the nut or bolt to fix the angle of the axle 8 by mechanical clamping force to prevent it from loosening during operation.

[0041] Example 1: Application in mountainous scenic areas

[0042] In mountainous scenic areas, monorail tracks may have varying gradients and curves. The rubber wheels 2 of this guiding device can adjust their position and angle in real time according to the track's gradient and curve angle. For example, at curves, the rubber wheels 2 adjust the axle 8 via hinge pins, tilting it appropriately inwards towards the curve. Simultaneously, adjustments to the axle 8 and bogie 1 bring the rubber wheels 2 closer to the inside of the track, allowing the tour vehicle to smoothly navigate curves. The springs in the suspension system 3 extend and retract according to the track's undulations, absorbing vibrations and ensuring that passengers do not experience discomfort due to bumps during the ride.

[0043] Implementation Method Two: Application in Forest Scenic Areas

[0044] In forest scenic areas, the monorail track may accumulate debris such as fallen leaves and branches. When encountering such debris, the rubber wheels 2 can be raised or deflected appropriately through their adjustable position and angle to avoid getting stuck. Moreover, the metal material of the bogie 1 has sufficient strength to ensure that the overall structure of the device is not damaged even if it occasionally encounters obstacles such as larger branches.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
