Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carrier of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 and a guideway thus produced.
  • Carriers and tracks of this type are generally known (e.g. DE 39 28 277 Cl, DE 39 28 278 C2). They are used for tracking and recording functional components or equipment such as Stator packages, side guide rails and slideways, the corresponding functional components mounted on the vehicle, e.g. Trag-, excitation, brake and guide magnets as well as Tragpen, or the like.
  • the beams can be made of steel or concrete and can be designed as single-field or multi-field beams. They are stored on supports or a substructure built on the floor (e.g. DE 34 04 061 Cl) to enable thermal expansion with the help of fixed and floating bearings.
  • Single-field girders are supported at one end by means of a fixed bearing and at the other end by means of a floating bearing, while double-field girders are supported at the ends by means of a floating bearing each and in a central area by means of a fixed bearing.
  • Carrier with more than two fields, as z. B. applied in the area of switches have two or more additional bearings in addition to the end floating bearings, which allow thermal expansion in the horizontal direction, largely prevent vertical movements.
  • Practical overall lengths for two-span beams are e.g. 30 m to 60 m, about half for single span beams.
  • SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) Carriers of the type described have the property that they can deform under the influence of temperature fluctuations, in particular can bend convexly perpendicular to their longitudinal direction. While the upper and lower belts of the carrier take on the same temperature with uniform, simultaneous heating and therefore expand or contract almost uniformly in the longitudinal direction, the carriers deform, for example when exposed to sunlight, due to the fact that the upper belts are faster than that when exposed to sunlight Lower straps are warmed up and therefore stretched more than the lower straps.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a heat-insulating cover which is stable and durable and which can withstand the loads which occur during operation of the guideway even in strong sunlight.
  • the invention has the advantage that the heat-insulating covers do not belong to the strength structure of the carrier due to their floating storage. This minimizes tensions in the cover due to different expansion coefficients. For the covers, therefore, additional-purpose plates made of high-quality materials, such as Solar cell modules are used.
  • additional-purpose plates made of high-quality materials, such as Solar cell modules are used.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a single-field and two-field beam xmd the deformations that occur during sun exposure.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through a steel beam according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a section of a guideway formed from a plurality of steel girders according to FIG. 2;
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section through a concrete beam according to the invention.
  • the carrier 1 roughly schematically shows a two-field carrier 1 ⁇ md two single-field carriers 2 and 3 arranged one behind the other in their longitudinal direction, which together have approximately the same length as the two-field carrier 1.
  • the carrier 1 is mounted in a central area with a fixed bearing 4 and at both ends with a floating bearing 5.
  • the carrier 2 is on the left end in Fig. 1 with a floating bearing 6 xmd at the other end with a
  • the supports 1, 2 and 3 and the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 2 to 4 are supports for a magnetic levitation train, the support 1 being e.g. B. a length of 50 m and the carrier 2 xmd 3, for example, each have a length of 25 m.
  • the cross sections of the beams 1, 2 xmd 3 are, for example, essentially triangular. Regardless of whether it is steel or concrete girders, the girders 1 to 3, as can be seen in FIG. 1, can bend upwards under strong sun radiation, since they are much faster in the area of their upper belts la, 2a xmd 3a than to be heated in the area of their lower chords 1b, 2b and 3b.
  • Carriers of the type described are generally known and therefore do not need to be explained in more detail. Only in this context is reference to the publications DE 34 04 061 Cl, DE 39 28 277 Cl and ZEV-Glas. Ann. 105, 1981, No. 7/8, pp. 204-215), which are hereby made to avoid repetition by reference to the subject matter of the present disclosure.
  • beams 11 made of steel according to FIGS. 2 and 3 and beams 12 made of concrete according to FIG. 4 are provided according to the invention, only the left half of the beam being shown.
  • the respective right carrier halves can be mirror-symmetrical to the left carrier halves, and for the rest the carriers 11, 12 can be designed and dimensioned analogously to the carriers 1 to 3 according to FIG. 1.
  • the carrier 11 has a z. B. dreieckfö shaped cross-section, which is formed by two obliquely arranged side parts 14, the top of which by a
  • the carrier 11 has on its upper, outer side three functional components which, for. B. consist of a long stator section 16 of a conventional long stator linear motor, a side guide rail 17 xmd a slideway 18 on which a magnetic levitation vehicle, not shown, can slide with support or skids attached to it, if necessary.
  • the upper chord 15 or a central upper chord section is arranged below the slideways 18 and parallel to them, i. H. lowered relative to the slideways 18. This creates between the plane formed by the slideways 18 and the top of the upper chord 15, a cavity 19 which is bounded on the sides by webs 20 which extend the side parts 14 beyond the upper chord 15 upwards and on which strips 21 z. B. are fixed by welding, the surfaces of which form the slideways 18.
  • Certain web plates 22 can also be fastened to the strips 21 xmd the webs 20 for fastening the long stator sections 16 and the side guide rails 17.
  • the cavity 18, which is open at the top, is covered by a heat-insulating, weather-resistant cover 23, which has a surface which is preferably arranged essentially flush with the slideways 18 and expediently extends only over the width of the carrier 11 available between the slideways 18, so that it cannot be destroyed when the supporting runners are possibly placed on the slideways 18.
  • cover 23 of square or rectangular for. B. composed of individual panels insulating elements 24 (see also FIG. 3), which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of a longitudinal axis 25 of the carrier.
  • insulating elements 24 see also FIG. 3
  • the side edges of the insulating elements 24, which run parallel to the longitudinal axis 25, are provided with U-shaped sleeves 26 made of an elastic, for. B. edged rubber-like material.
  • the cuffs 26 between one with the associated bar 21 z. B. clamped by welding clamped rail 27 xmd another clamp rail 28, the z. B. is firmly connected by screws 29 and nuts to the clamping rail 26.
  • the clamping rails 27, 28 can expediently extend over the entire length of the carrier 11, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the support 12 which is made entirely of concrete, has an upper flange 31 with an upper side which has a depression which forms a cavity 32 and, analogously to FIG. 2, is covered by the cover 23 at the top and is delimited by the upper flange 31 below.
  • the upper clamping rail 28 needs to be provided here, since it can be fastened by means of screws 33 and dowels 34 or the like directly to laterally projecting parts 35 of the carrier 12 which support the strips 21.
  • the sleeves 26 are fixed between a support section connecting the parts 35 with the upper chord 31 and the clamping rails 28, but decoupled from the support 12. 4 therefore corresponds to the plan view shown in FIG. 3 of the arrangement according to FIG. 2.
  • the cuffs 26 are made of a durable, weather-resistant material such. B. made of natural rubber. They can also extend over the entire length of the carriers 11, 12 measured parallel to the longitudinal axis 25 (FIG. 3) or consist of individual pieces each enclosing only one or more plates 24. The thickness and elasticity of the cuff material are selected so that the desired floating bearing results, stresses arising from different thermal expansions are absorbed by the cuffs 26 and no temperature-related cracks or the like occur in the insulating elements 24.
  • the insulation elements 24 consist of plate-shaped solar cell modules.
  • Such modules can e.g. B. consist of crystalline silicon silicon layers that are covered with protective layers of glass or plastic or otherwise weatherproof, but are encapsulated translucent.
  • amorphous silicon can be used to form the solar cells or the like, or thin film or thin film cells developed in more recent times, which are sprayed onto corresponding carrier plates made of glass, plastic or another suitable, heat-insulating material.
  • This has the advantage that the carriers 11, 12 assume a new function, namely the generation of electrical energy by means of photovoltaics. The electrical energy generated can be fed into the public network or, if this leads to intolerable current fluctuations due to the shadowing that occurs when crossing the magnetic levitation railway, processed xmd z. B. be used to generate hydrogen for fuel cells, which are suitable as future ecologically advantageous drive units for automobiles or for the Energyversorgimg magnetic levitation itself.
  • the cavity 19 preferably serves as a cable duct, i.e. H. for receiving electrical lines and cables 36, in particular those that serve to electrically connect the various solar cell modules along the entire support 11, 12.
  • electrical lines and cables 36 in particular those that serve to electrically connect the various solar cell modules along the entire support 11, 12.
  • the route cables laid along the route between the substations can also be accommodated in the cavities 19, which are used to feed the sections of the
  • the supports 11 xmd 12 described are therefore suitable for producing a multifunctional travel path, in particular for magnetic levitation trains, in that a plurality of supports in the direction of travel (or in the direction of the longitudinal axes 25), as indicated in FIG. 3, are arranged one behind the other and at least selected, preferably all carriers as the described carrier 11 xmd 12 are formed.
  • the cavities 19 can form cable ducts extending over the entire travel path and the solar cell modules can form a photovoltaic power plant extending over the entire travel path.
  • the temperature differences between the upper and lower chords of the beams 11, 12 can be kept small even in the case of strong solar radiation.
  • the deformations explained with reference to FIG. 1 can be reduced so much that the single-field beams 2, 3 do not deform more than the two-field beams 1. Therefore, as an alternative to the previous practice for guideways of the type of interest here, reduced single-span girders can predominantly be used, whereby considerable simplification xmd xmd cost savings can be achieved with regard to production, transport and assembly.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, which can be modified in many ways.
  • the invention can also be applied to beams and beam cross sections other than the illustrated ones, as well as to differently designed upper belts.
  • the described floating mounting by means of the sleeves 26 can also be ensured by other suitable means, wherein the plate-shaped insulating elements 24 can also be replaced by other suitable means for heat insulation, for example cassettes filled with loose thermal insulation material. It is clear that it can also be a carrier for the routes of other than magnetic levitation vehicles.
  • the individual features can also be used in combinations other than those shown xmd.
