Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new transportation technology and relates to a multi-layer three-dimensional station structure suitable for vacuum transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Transportation is a vital pillar of modern socio-economic development, undertaking the efficient flow of people and goods. With the accelerating pace of urbanization, transportation demand is increasing daily, placing higher requirements on transportation efficiency, safety, and service quality. An efficient and convenient transportation system not only promotes regional economic development but also significantly improves people's lifestyles.

[0003] Current transportation station designs are mostly based on traditional horizontal layouts, typically distributing passenger waiting areas, transfer passages, commercial facilities, and technical equipment across relatively scattered floors. This results in limited space utilization and makes it difficult to fully meet the needs of efficient organization and management of modern large-scale passenger flows. Furthermore, the connection between stations and the urban transportation system often suffers from bottlenecks, complex transfer routes, and inefficient passenger flow, leading to a poor travel experience. In addition, while station buildings offer diverse functional layouts and facilities, the lack of systematic spatial integration and multi-functional synergy limits the improvement of the station's overall service capabilities.

[0004] Furthermore, with the development of new high-speed transportation technologies, especially the application of cutting-edge technologies such as vacuum transportation, higher requirements are placed on the functional integration, space utilization, and energy efficiency of station structures. Existing station designs have many shortcomings in adapting to special transportation environments such as high speed and vacuum, such as a lack of organic integration with vacuum transportation pipelines, inability to effectively utilize gravitational potential energy for energy recovery, and difficulty in meeting the energy-efficient utilization and green energy-saving requirements of multi-level three-dimensional transportation systems.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a multi-level three-dimensional station structure suitable for vacuum transportation systems to improve space utilization efficiency and passenger transfer convenience, reduce operating energy consumption, enhance safety, and meet the future demand for efficient and environmentally friendly transportation. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-layer three-dimensional station structure suitable for vacuum transportation, which aims to achieve energy self-balancing and recycling during train operation by optimizing the structural layout and energy conversion path of the station and vacuum transportation pipeline, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the power system, improving the overall energy efficiency of the transportation system, and achieving green, low-carbon and energy-saving operation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A multi-level three-dimensional station structure suitable for vacuum transportation includes a station body and two vacuum transportation pipelines that intersect the station body. The top of the station body is equipped with a passenger distribution area, supporting commercial area, equipment control area and aerial transportation platform, forming a comprehensive functional platform integrating transportation, commerce, management and aerial transportation. The two vacuum transportation pipelines are respectively set on opposite sides of the top of the station structure. Each vacuum transportation pipeline includes a ground transportation pipeline and an underground transportation pipeline that are connected. The upper opening of the ground transportation pipeline is located in the passenger distribution area and is laid obliquely along the station body at an angle of 15° to 30°. After connecting to the underground transportation pipeline near the ground surface, it extends horizontally to form a two-way running path for trains to enter and exit the station, respectively for trains to enter and exit the station.

[0009] Furthermore, the station itself is a multi-story building with an internal commercial area that flexibly incorporates various functions such as offices, hotels, residences, and shopping malls, meeting the diverse living needs of passengers and surrounding residents and promoting the deep integration of the station with urban functions.

[0010] Furthermore, subway access nodes can be set up at the surface or underground to facilitate seamless integration with existing urban rail transit systems, forming a multi-modal, three-dimensional transportation hub.

[0011] Furthermore, the station itself is equipped with multiple elevators that run through each floor, connecting the subway access point with the passenger distribution area at the top to enable vertical transfers.

[0012] Furthermore, at least a portion of the elevators are dedicated fast passageways directly connecting to passenger distribution areas, used to efficiently manage high-density passenger flows.

[0013] Furthermore, the air traffic platform is located in the middle of the roof of the station body for the take-off and landing of air vehicles such as helicopters and drones, realizing the integration of ground and air transportation.

[0014] Furthermore, the equipment control area is equipped with a vacuum environment control system, a power system, a train operation monitoring system, and emergency response equipment to ensure train operation safety and system stability.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The multi-level three-dimensional station structure for vacuum transportation disclosed in this utility model adopts an inclined arrangement of vacuum transportation pipelines, with the inclination angle controlled between 15° and 30°. This allows the train carriages to fully utilize the gravitational potential energy of the train, passengers, and luggage to convert into kinetic energy during startup and parking, significantly reducing energy consumption during vehicle acceleration and deceleration. This energy conversion mechanism not only improves the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system but also reduces the load on the power system, helping to extend equipment lifespan and reduce operating costs, thus achieving the goal of green and energy-saving high-speed transportation.

The multi-level three-dimensional station structure suitable for vacuum transportation disclosed in this utility model integrates multiple functions such as passenger distribution areas, supporting commercial areas, equipment control areas, and aerial transportation platforms on the station roof through a multi-level three-dimensional architectural design, effectively improving the station's space utilization and service capacity. This integrated design not only meets the diverse needs of passengers waiting, commercial consumption, and aerial transportation, but also achieves efficient collaborative operation of different functional areas, greatly enhancing the station's operational efficiency and passenger experience, and promoting the multi-functional development of modern urban transportation hubs.

[0018] 3. The multi-level, three-dimensional station structure for vacuum transportation disclosed in this utility model features a flexible and adaptable design, enabling construction in various geographical environments, such as building on mountainsides or with partial underground and above-ground layouts. The station can seamlessly connect to existing transportation systems such as subways, trains, and light rail, forming an integrated transfer hub.

[0024] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 The illustrated multi-level station structure suitable for vacuum transportation features a multi-story building (1) with no height restrictions. Its flexible design allows for diverse construction modes, including building on hillsides or partially underground and partially above ground, adapting to terrain conditions. This maximizes the use of limited urban space and meets the construction needs of large transportation hubs. The station's roof includes a passenger distribution area (4), a supporting commercial area (7), an equipment control area (8), and an aerial transportation platform (9), forming a comprehensive functional platform integrating transportation, commerce, management, and aerial transportation. This significantly enhances the station's overall service capabilities and operational value.

[0026] The station building 1 can also house a supporting commercial area 7, flexibly encompassing various functions such as offices, hotels, residences, and shopping malls, meeting the diverse lifestyle needs of passengers and surrounding residents, and promoting the deep integration of the station with urban functions. The equipment control area 8 is equipped with a vacuum environment maintenance system, power supply, maglev train operation monitoring, and emergency response devices to ensure the stable maintenance of the vacuum environment and the safe operation of the train, achieving efficient collaborative management of the station and the train. An aerial transportation platform 9 is located on the station roof, supporting the take-off and landing of helicopters and drones, promoting the organic integration of ground and air transportation, and enhancing the overall transportation system's three-dimensional and diversified development capabilities.

[0027] The station building 1 is equipped with multiple elevators 5 that run through all floors, and in particular, multiple high-speed elevators that go directly to the passenger distribution area, ensuring that passengers can efficiently and quickly complete the vertical transfer between the subway access node and the top-floor departure platform, optimizing passenger flow organization and reducing transfer time and congestion risks.

[0028] Combination Figure 2As shown, the vacuum transport pipeline 3 is a paired pipeline system, comprising two intersecting vacuum transport pipelines 3. Each vacuum transport pipeline 3 includes a connected above-ground transport pipeline 32 and an underground transport pipeline 31. The above-ground transport pipeline 32 starts from the passenger distribution area 4 on the top floor of the station body 1 and is laid obliquely along the station body at an angle of 15° to 30°. It fully utilizes the principle of converting the gravitational potential energy of the train carriages and passengers into kinetic energy, effectively reducing the energy consumption of train starting and operation, and improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system. The above-ground transport pipeline 32 transitions into the underground transport pipeline 31 near the ground surface and then extends horizontally to form the track channel for trains entering and leaving the station. The underground transport pipeline 31 is located below the surface layer 2 to ensure the smooth operation of vehicles and the switching of directions. In addition, another vacuum transport pipeline is located on the opposite side of the station top, with its trajectory intersecting the above-mentioned pipelines, enabling bidirectional round-trip operation of trains and meeting the needs of efficient transportation.

[0029] A subway access node 6 is set up at the surface layer 2 or underground to facilitate seamless connection with existing urban rail transit systems such as subways, light rails, and trains, forming a multi-mode, three-dimensional transportation hub, realizing efficient passenger transfer and flow, and greatly improving the connectivity efficiency of the urban transportation network and the convenience of passenger travel.

[0030] When the train enters the station, it can travel uphill along the underground transport pipeline 31 to the above-ground transport pipeline 32. During this process, the kinetic energy of the train and its load is converted into gravitational potential energy, achieving natural deceleration and reducing the energy consumption of the power system. When the train leaves the station, it can travel downhill along the above-ground transport pipeline 32 to the underground transport pipeline 31. During this process, the gravitational potential energy of the train and its load is converted into kinetic energy, providing a boosting force for the train and achieving natural acceleration, which also effectively reduces the energy consumption of the train's power system.

[0031] Through the above design, the train achieves self-balancing and recycling of energy during the process of entering and leaving the station, improving the overall energy efficiency and operational economy of the vacuum transportation system. Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
