[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure but not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of present disclosure without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of present disclosure.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4:

[0025] Embodiment I: The present disclosure provides a free-walking transport traffic operation mode, including a transportation network operation platform formed by connecting a constant speed belt, a transfer belt, and a variable speed belt, wherein transition sections are connected synchronously and seamlessly in the same direction, and the platform corresponds to the transition sections in both directions; and the operation mode for passengers to get on and get off belts in all directions satisfies the demand of passengers for freely walking in all directions within a transportation network distribution area.

[0026] Specifically, the constant speed belt is configured to be distributed at a long distance, runs efficiently in an energy-saving manner according to a glide principle of an inertial acceleration, and keeps transporting passengers and items at a high speed. The constant speed belt runs 24 hours all day long at a set speed value and is kept being connected and transitioned along the way to the transfer belts distributed at various commercial and residential areas. The constant speed belt is generally distributed at middle isolation belts of trunk roads or is built at its spatial position. No get on and get off platforms are needed along the way. The constant speed belt is only connected and transitioned to the transfer belt into a network.

[0027] The constant speed belt is not limited to being connected to the transfer belt to transfer passengers. The constant speed belt can be provided with an intelligent connection and transition platform sections according to a topographical condition. For example, a carrier having the same speed as that of the constant speed belt is connected to the constant speed belt for transitioning. A density of connection sections is set according to a passenger flow volume along the way. In small and medium-sized cities without subways, a constant speed belt network transportation platform is built according to a city area and Chinese character forms such as +, T, B, EB, +, and +.

[0028] For example, four independent variable speed belts that are correspondingly transitioned can be selected to form the EB -shaped distribution can select. Or, one constant speed belt can be selected to form the EB -shaped distribution. A cross-shaped transfer belt is arranged in the middle of the B0 -shaped distribution for connection and transitioning. Intelligent carriers are used along the way for transitioning to allow passengers to get on and get off belts, without setting variable speed belts.

[0029] The constant speed belt is an energy-saving running method in the transport traffic system. A speed value is set, and the operation is managed according the inertial acceleration. In this way, the running power consumption caused by repeated starting and stopping is avoided, and the energy cost and the time of arrival are greatly reduced.

[0030] Specifically, the transfer belt is configured to: connect the constant speed belt to the variable speed belt for transitioning and allow passengers to transfer belts. A connection and 4 transitioning section combined with the constant speed belt at a time length is set according to a transport speed of the constant speed belt to satisfy the demands of passengers for barrier-free transitioning. Generally, for a connection at a time length within 15 seconds, passengers only spend five seconds or less on movement if the passengers are ready. Passengers on two transport belts can change the positions by crossing one step, so that a spatial effect of walking in a compartment to change the positions is achieved. The other side is connected to the variable speed belt spaced apart from a height-adjustable safety fence. For the connection to the variable speed belt, the transfer belt running a circle is used as one connection and transitioning program. When the safety fence rises, passengers stop. The speed of the variable speed belt decreases to satisfy that passengers get on and get off the variable speed belt safely. When the speed of the variable speed belt increases to the same speed as that of the transfer belt, the safety fence falls down, so that the two connected transport belts form a spatial environment to satisfy that passengers are transitioned and transfer belts safely. When the variable speed belt is not connected for transitioning, passengers on the transfer belt waits at the original position for a next connection and transitioning program to transfer belts. The transfer belt and the constant speed belt are connected for transitioning and belt transferring all the time, so that passengers will not miss the belts that they intend to transfer even if the running program changes.

[0031] In important areas, passengers get on and get off two transfer belts alternately. A safety separation fence is arranged between the constant speed belt and the transfer belt. One transfer belt and the other transfer belt are correspondingly transitioned and connected through an independent variable speed belt to form a transportation network. The transfer belt is equivalent to a transfer station platform and is mainly distributed in a place with a lot of people along the constant speed belt. For example, two transfer belts are arranged in a commercial center of each district-level administrative area, so that passengers can transfer to the same variable speed belt no matter which transfer belt the passengers exit from, and the variable speed belt network can lead to all places in all directions in this area. Most passengers can directly arrive at the core area without the variable speed belt, and an effect of quickly diverting people is achieved.

[0032] Specifically, the variable speed belt is configured to: change a running speed of a transport belt and satisfy demands of passengers for getting on and getting off transport belts safely, and connect, transition, and change transport belts. A low-speed running period is set when passengers get on and get off transport belts safely. A high-speed connection and transitioning running period is set according to the transport speed of the transfer belt. A plurality of variable speed running period programs are set according to a relationship between a width of a transport belt and a passenger flow volume. Low-speed running programs and high-speed running programs at different periods are run alternately and repeatedly.

[0033] Further, the free-walking transport traffic operation mode further includes an independent variable speed belt, which does not directly participate in programmed running of the constant speed belt and the transfer belt, and is only correspondingly transitioned and connected to the variable speed belt in the distribution area to perfect the network and divert passengers. The independent variable speed belt is suitable for being distributed in areas such as commercial and residential districts, commercial streets, schools, and park attractions. In a transition mode, according to the low-speed running program, pedestrians can pass through the transport belt at any time.

[0034] The independent variable speed belt may alternatively be transversely distributed along a subway line and properly bypasses subway stations to divert passengers, so as to relieve the crowding of passengers at subway interchange stations. If there is no power, people can be organized to push sliding plates and handrails to make the independent variable speed belt to continue to run.

[0035] Still further, the free-walking transport traffic operation mode further includes a sectional drive and a sectional brake. Fixing positions for drive and brake devices are determined according to push-pull stresses generated by topographical changes or distances. According to model running effects, it can be obtained that a drive device is mounted at each of a comer head and a comer tail of a transfer belt. Drive devices are distributed and mounted at an uphill section in an arrayed manner according to a slope and length of the uphill section. Brake devices for controlling the speed are mounted at a downhill section and a front end of the corner tail, so that the push-pull force of closed-loop running of the entire transport belt is balanced, and the running is smooth.

[0036] Embodiment II: This embodiment is basically the same as the above embodiment. A difference is that the free-walking transport traffic operation mode further includes a pedestrian transport belt mechanism which includes two track components; several mounting slots are provided on upper surfaces of the track components; movable pulleys are mounted in the mounting slots through brackets; a plurality of groups of sliding plates are arranged at tops of the movable pulleys; handrails are arranged at tops of the sliding plates; safe guards are arranged on two sides of the handrails; I-shaped keels are arranged at bottoms of the sliding plates between the movable pulleys; the I-shaped keels are connected through keel connecting shafts; seats are arranged between the sliding plates at tops of the keel connecting shafts; front legs of the seats are fixedly connected to the sliding plates; rear legs of the seats are movably connected to the sliding plates through steel balls; reset tension springs are arranged between the sliding plates; rear baffle plates are arranged between the handrails at rear ends of the seats; and guide wheels are arranged at bottoms of the sliding plates on two sides of the I-shaped keels. A connection section and a non-connection section of the variable speed belt are distinguished by color on the sliding plates and the seats and are numbered, or are indicated by voice and light on a transport platform corridor. For example, the connection section at the sliding plates and the seats is painted in green, and the non-connection section at the sliding plates and the seats is painted in yellow, so that they are clear at a glance. Thus, passengers can take the time to get on the variable speed belt and will not miss the connection and transitioning period. As the rear legs of the seats are movable, the impact on the keel connecting shafts and the deflecting force of the guide wheels can be reduced under the action of the reset tension springs without affecting the turning of the transport belt. Meanwhile, after the rear baffle plates are lowered, the movable pulleys can be maintained and repaired.

[0037] Specifically, ground edge sealing plates are arranged on the track components on two sides of the sliding plates; entrance and exit gripper rings are arranged at rear ends of the handrails; and damping reeds are arranged between the movable pulleys and the mounting slots.

[0038] Further, the sectional drive includes a motor arranged at a top of the track component, a gear box arranged at the top of the track component, a transmission shaft arranged between an output end of the motor and an input end of the gear box, and a drive gear arranged at an output end of the gear box; and tooth bars engaged with the drive gear are arranged on two sides of the I-shaped keels.

[0039] Still further, the sectional brake includes a brake fixing frame arranged on an inner side of the track component, two strip-type brake rubber plates arranged at an output end of the brake fixing frame, a hydraulic brake arranged at an input end of the brake fixing frame, and hydraulic pipeline arranged between the hydraulic brake and the brake fixing frame; and the two strip-type brake rubber plates are located on two sides of the I-shaped keels separately.

[0040] It can be seen from the above that when the device is run, the motor is started. The motor may drive the transmission shaft to rotate, so that the drive gear can be driven to rotate by the gear box. The drive gear may drive the I-shaped keels to move because the drive gear is engaged with the I-shaped keels, thus driving the sliding plates to slide on the movable pulleys and achieving transportation of pedestrians. When the sliding plates slide, the movable pulleys will rotate to reduce the sliding resistance to the sliding plate. The arrangement distance of the movable pulleys corresponds to the length of each sliding plate, so that two edges of the sliding plates always simultaneously press three movable pulleys to ensure that the sliding plates slide noiselessly and steadily. When the device needs to be stopped by deceleration, the hydraulic brake is turned on. The hydraulic brake may convey hydraulic oil through the hydraulic pipeline, thereby controlling the strip-type brake rubber plates to move. The I-shaped keels are pressed by the strip-type brake rubber plates to move to limit the positions of the sliding plates. During use, pedestrians can stand on the sliding plates or sit on the seats.
