Description

Mass transit system

The present invention relates to a kind of mass transit system or equipment that is used for continuous mobile alignment, this continuous mobile alignment is made of the continuous continuous vehicle that is articulated and connected, and therefore, described vehicle can fold into position side by side from linear position.

The mass transit system that use at present in many in the world areas does not have suitably to solve the transportation demand in the intensive population city.Main shortcoming is executive cost, wait time, and the distance between the station, and mainly be that the owner is profitless.It is the pacing factor of its existence that any transport systems keeps for a long time lucrative.Present patent application comprises being used for carrying continuously the improvement of transportation passenger's present known principle solution.Eliminated the wait time of going up AT STATION based on the solution of folding automobile in the horizontal direction, it can make distance between the station reduce to traditional subway system less than half, it can significantly reduce construction cost.And it combines with the solution of constant speed transportation, and suitable transport capacity is corresponding to the market demand of the several times of the maximum transport capacity that obtains from low side to traditional high capacity traffic program.Main cost savings are because less genuine cross-sectional plane or be used for the design of civil engineering easily of overhead scheme basically.

In any mass transit system, very substantially but very necessary system problem is low-cost, wait time seldom and the distance of going to the station seldom.The technical scheme that relates to wait time in present high capacity transportation resources is implemented by short time gap, the speed of advancement between the vehicle.The passenger is to make the distance between the station shorter to the solution of the very short walking distance at station.To present technological concept, this will cause heavy design and higher cost.Be subjected to support and otherwise effective technique scheme must satisfy all three conditions, otherwise it can not compete passenger and society basically.Speed is interested another theme of passenger, but and non-key competition argument.In crowded city, the present average velociity of automobile is near 20km/h or littler.Nowadays common subway mass transit system is with average 35km/h or littler speed operation.

Compare with the admission fee that should bear, traditional mass transit system cost height, like this, its operation can decline usually.Its major cause is because heavy weight cost and the vehicle of technical sophistication and huge civil engineering cost.Large-sized concrete building is seldom used, and they are usually designed to each rail vehicle is 40 tons gross deadweight.For 5 fens common clock times, the aviation value between the long vehicle of vehicle of today and 100 meters is 50km/h.When vehicle passed through the tunnel bridge, only with 7.2 seconds, remaining 293 seconds, bridge or tunnel did not use.We we can say that degree of utilization is 7.2/300, or 2.4%.In addition, the civil engineering design is heavy, because vehicle has bigger tare weight.We we can say that this relation has 10 tons/40 tons=25% efficient.It is in conjunction with providing total Infrastructure efficient of totally 0.6%.

The objective of the invention is to by continuous mobile passenger, described problem is provided balance and commercial suitable embodiment, eliminating wait time, and make Infrastructure time mode more effective, and increase the relation of passenger weight and rolling stock tare weight.And because low maximum speed, passenger's safety is compared remarkable increase with existing subway, and has eliminated the danger that the passenger is subjected to the vehicle that the platform place enters in the station.

The present invention utilize according in October 19 nineteen twenty-six laid-open U.S. Patents 1603475 and on October 25th, the 1972 disclosed British patent 1294395 about make basis that continuous velocity reduces by collapsible feed car and known groundwork.In order to achieve the above object and improve, the present invention has the feature of mentioning in following claims, so principal feature is and the rotatable bonded assembly spacing of vehicle beam.

The spacing beam has two kinds of functions, if hinge-point is stretched over the elementary length outside in compartment, it reduces speed or the coefficient of speed-up ratio brings up to 2, or higher.This significantly reduces construction cost.Improved velocity variations can obtain in fact double or double above velocity variations ratio than meaning to compare with the former solution of not using the spacing beam.

The present invention can be used for erected configuration alone, and this structure of independently supporting oneself is as local conveyer and as distributing box or feeder, and they are used for representative type transportation branch for example at the subway and the motor station of city transportation Infrastructure.The door gear that can also have modification, it is used for quickening and deceleration to the passenger in the loading of constant speed transportation device and unloading position.

Suppose non-limiting example, describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention referring to accompanying drawing.

Fig. 2 is the side elevation view of the high speed part between the station of representative type car construction.

Fig. 3 is the side elevation view that has the low speed part of folding vehicle end AT STATION.

Fig. 4 is that the representative type of a position between two stations is analysed and observe view.

Fig. 4 .1 is the detail drawing with Fig. 4 of wheel and bogie truck.

Fig. 5 always schemes in the principle of the folding step at each station.

Fig. 6 is the planar view of the load bearing frame of folding car frame and relative spacing beam.

AT STATION, the door 2 in the one or both ends of the vehicle of passenger by being arranged in platform 3 enters footway moving vehicle 1 at a slow speed.Car speed in the load or unload part of the wide distance between track 4 is through selecting, so that or directly from fixing platform or if desired from continuous moving belt 5 safe transfers, this moving belt 5 with the footway moving vehicle near or identical speed move.This speed is in the 0.7-1.5m/s scope.Behind certain hour, end door 2 is closed, and vehicle begins to launch at leisure, and quickens on main moving direction.Making vehicle quicken required acceleration force under tare weight can be provided by the energy of storage in the spring 6, and this spring is designed to produce moment of torsion in hinge-point 7, and this hinge-point produces acceleration force successively in adjacent hinge-point.This acceleration force has the direction identical with main moving direction.

Required acceleration force can be produced by for example in check LIM Linear Induction Motor 8 of force transfering device on the main moving direction of different passenger's loads, this LIM Linear Induction Motor be fixed to quicken and Infrastructure that decay part is interior on.These LIM Linear Induction Motor 8 are on each reaction plate 9, and generation does not contact acceleration force on main moving direction, and this reaction plate 9 is installed in each vehicle 1 time.The required an amount of acceleration force of each separate vehicle 1 is through regulating to reach the minimum force between track 4 and the bead 15.For this purpose, the sensor of arranging along the track 4 that postpones and accelerating part is interior provides the cross track force information to the control setup of LIM Linear Induction Motor 8.By regulating the acceleration force that produces by LIM Linear Induction Motor 8, so as corresponding also proportional with passenger's the quality on the car each separate vehicle 1 in, with the minimum lateral power of acquisition between track 4 and wheel bead 15.

Can determine the speed increment rate according to the distance of representing with L between the maximum width B of vehicle and three the continuous hinge points 7.Percentage speed variation is L/B.Should note hinge-point can be in the compartment 11 end lateral expansion.On the geometric distance between the hinge-point center of every end of spacing beam 10 by the distance L between two hinge-points 7 at every end of car frame 13 _vDetermine with the width B of vehicle 1.It has (L _v ²+ B ²) subduplicate distance.For 6 meters distances between the hinge-point of 1 meter wide vehicle and car frame 13, percentage speed variation is 12.08.

The adjustable in length in compartment 11 is to the passengers quantity that is fit to wish.For example, for 1 * 5m compartment size and 4 people that stand of every sq m, its capacity equals with each direction of 10m/s moving velocity 50000 people per hour.The ridership of taking one's seat is near 5-8 seat of each car, and this is corresponding to each direction passenger of taking one's seat of 12000-21000 per hour.

By the vertical load that the passenger produces, the tare weight of vehicle 1 and spacing beam 10 is transferred to track 4 by rotatable bogie truck 12, and this rotatable bogie truck 12 is fixed on the car frame 13 at every end of opposite side and car frame 13.

Each bogie truck 12 is provided with two wheels 14, and each wheel 14 has bead 15 on the both sides of wheel rim 16.The function of bead 15 is to produce the required rotational force of folded vehicle 1, with be provided at station zone Outboard Sections directed force be provided, and the antagonistic force that produces any not balancing force, this not balancing force without force transfering device for example quicken and decay part in LIM Linear Induction Motor 8 compensation, increase or minimizing at this gauge.

After acceleration, each vehicle moves with constant speed, arrives next station up to it, utilizes its deceleration folded part, folds on moving direction and relative deceleration.The present invention's function here and acceleration reversed in order.By force transfering device for example LIM Linear Induction Motor 8 produce the delay power, this LIM Linear Induction Motor 8 is installed in the car frame 13 times by reaction plate 9, this car frame 13 fold sequence between the emergence period on each vehicle 1 brake activation power, this fold sequence occur between the track 4 apart from increase place.
