[0002] The sightseeing cable cars in the scenic area usually slide along the track that is connected end to end. If a cable car malfunctions, it is not convenient to remove the malfunctioning cable car from the track for repair because the track is connected end to end. On the one hand, it is inconvenient for workers to repair it, and on the other hand, if the repair time is long, the downtime of the entire transportation system will also be long. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model proposes a track-changing mechanism for a suspended transport track. If a suspended railcar, such as a cable car, malfunctions, it can be quickly taken offline for repair through the track-changing mechanism, with minimal impact on the entire transport system.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a track-changing mechanism for a suspended conveying track includes a suspended conveying track, a track-changing break is provided on the conveying track, a reciprocating sliding frame is provided at the track-changing break, an upper track and a lower track are provided on the sliding frame, the upper track moves to the track-changing break, the track-changing break of the conveying track is connected through the upper track, the lower track moves to the track-changing break, and one end of the lower track deviates from the conveying route of the conveying track.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper track is a straight track, and at the track change point, the transport track connects end to end with the upper track.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower track is an arc-shaped track, with one end of the lower track connected to the conveyor track at one end of the lane change break, and the other end of the lower track offset from the conveyor track at the other end of the lane change break.

[0007] Furthermore, a support frame is provided at the lane change break point, and the sliding frame is slidably mounted on the support frame. A linear drive mechanism is provided on the support frame, which is used to drive the sliding frame to reciprocate along a direction perpendicular to the upper track.

[0008] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism is a motor-driven ring chain, with support wheels spaced at intervals on the upright frame along a direction perpendicular to the upper track. The ring chain is fitted onto the support wheels, and the sliding frame is connected to one side of the ring chain.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying track, the upper track, and the lower track all include upper and lower guide rails arranged in parallel, with a rack on the lower guide rail along the conveying path.

[0010] Furthermore, columns are fixed at intervals on the conveyor track, with the lower ends of the columns fixed to the ground.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The lane-changing mechanism of this utility model has reciprocating upper and lower tracks at the lane-changing break point. The upper track connects the conveyor track end-to-end at the break point, and the suspended railcar continues to operate normally along the conveyor track via the upper track. If the suspended railcar malfunctions and needs maintenance, the lower track moves to the break point, and the malfunctioning railcar moves along the lower track and detaches from the conveyor track for easy maintenance. Then the upper track moves to the break point, and the entire conveyor track operates normally. Therefore, if the railcar malfunctions, it is easy to quickly remove it from the track for maintenance, with minimal impact on the entire conveyor system. Attached Figure Description

[0015] 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.

[0016] Example 1 like Figure 1-3As shown, a track-changing mechanism for a suspended conveyor track includes a conveyor track 1, a track-changing break 3 on the conveyor track 1, a support frame 4 at the track-changing break 3, the support frame 4 being fixed to the ground, a slide rail 5 being fixed to the upper end of the support frame 4, the conveyor track 1 being located below the slide rail 5, a reciprocating sliding frame 6 being installed at the upper end of the slide rail 5, and a roller 2 being fixed on the sliding frame 6 that moves along the slide rail 5.

[0017] The upper track 7 is fixed to the lower side of the sliding frame 6 via a first connecting rod, and the lower track 8 is fixed to the lower side via a second connecting rod. The upper track 7 and the lower track 8 move back and forth synchronously with the sliding frame 6. The upper track 7 is a straight track, and its end is connected to the conveyor track 1 at the same end as the lane change break 3. When the upper track 7 moves to the lane change break 3, it connects the conveyor track 1 at the lane change break 3, meaning that the suspended railcar continues to move along the conveyor track 1 via the upper track 7 at the lane change break 3.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower track 8 is an arc-shaped track. One end of the lower track 8 is connected to the conveyor track 1 at one end of the lane change break 3, and the other end of the lower track 8 is offset from the conveyor track 1 at the other end of the lane change break 3. When the lower track 8 moves to the lane change break 3, the suspended railcar moves along the lower track 8 and separates from the conveyor track 1, making it convenient for the suspended railcar to be taken off the line for maintenance.

[0019] A linear drive mechanism is fixed on the upright frame 4. The linear drive mechanism includes a ring chain 9. Support wheels 10 are fixed at intervals on the upright frame 4 along a direction perpendicular to the upper track 7. The ring chain 9 is fitted onto the support wheels 10. One end of the ring chain 9 is fitted onto a drive wheel 11. The drive wheel 11 is driven to rotate by a motor, thereby driving the ring chain 9 to perform transmission. The sliding frame 6 is connected to the lower side of the ring chain 9, and the ring chain 9 drives the sliding frame 6 to move linearly back and forth. The linear drive mechanism can also be other structures, such as telescopic hydraulic cylinders, as long as it can drive the sliding frame 6 to move linearly back and forth.

[0020] When the suspended railcar does not require offline maintenance and can continue normal operation, the upper rail 7 is at the lane change break 3, connecting the conveyor rails 1 at both ends of the lane change break 3 via the upper rail 7. After passing the upper rail 7, the suspended railcar continues to move along the conveyor rail 1. If the suspended railcar malfunctions and needs to be offline for maintenance, the sliding frame 6 moves, causing the lower rail 8 to move to the lane change break 3, while the upper rail 7 moves away from the lane change break 3. The suspended railcar moves along the lower rail 8 and detaches from the conveyor rail 1. After the suspended railcar is offline, the upper rail 7 can return to the lane change break 3, allowing the conveyor rail 1 to operate normally. After the suspended railcar is repaired, it can return to the upper rail at the lane change break 3 to continue operation.

[0021] Example 2 This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that: Figure 1-2 As shown, columns 12 are fixed at intervals on the conveyor track 1. The lower ends of the columns 12 are fixed to the ground and are used to support the conveyor track 1. The conveyor track 1 includes a lower rotary track 13, an upper track 14, an upper rotary track 15, and a lower track 16 connected in sequence. The lane change break 3 is set between the lower track 16 and the lower rotary track 13. When the upper track 7 moves to the lane change break 3, the lower rotary track 13, the upper track 14, the upper rotary track 15, the lower track 16, and the upper track 7 form the conveyor track 1 that is connected end to end. If the lower track 8 moves to the lane change break 3, one end of the lower track 8 is connected to the lower track 16, and the other end is offset from the lower rotary track 13.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the conveying track 1, the upper track 7 and the lower track 8 each include an upper guide rail 17 and a lower guide rail 18 arranged in parallel. The upper guide rail 17 and the lower guide rail 18 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod. A rack 19 is fixed on the lower guide rail 18 along the conveying path.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
