Definitions

the invention relates to a carrier specified in the preamble of claim 1 Genus and a route created with it.
Carriers and tracks of this type are generally known (e.g. DE 39 28 277 C1, DE 39 28 278 C2). They are used for tracking and recording functional components or parts of equipment such as Stator packages, side guide rails and slideways, the corresponding functional components mounted on the vehicle, e.g. supporting, Excitation, brake and guide magnets as well as supporting skids or the like interact.
the beams can be made of steel or concrete and as single-field or multi-field beams be trained. They are used to enable thermal expansion with the help of Loose bearings stored on supports or a substructure erected on the floor (e.g. DE 34 04 061 C1).
Single-span girders are attached at one end using a Fixed bearing and at the other end by means of a floating bearing, on the other hand to the Ends each with a floating bearing and in a central area with a fixed bearing supported.
Carrier with more than two fields, as z. B. in the area of switches applied have two or more in addition to the end floating bearings additional bearings that allow thermal expansion in the horizontal direction, vertical movements largely prevent it. Practical overall lengths for two-span beams e.g. 30 m to 60 m, about half for single span beams.
Carriers of the type described have the property that they are under the influence of Deform temperature fluctuations, especially perpendicular to their longitudinal direction can bend convex. While the top and bottom straps of the wearer with even, simultaneous heating take on the same temperature and therefore lengthways Extend or contract almost uniformly, the beams deform for example when the sun is shining due to the fact that the upper belts at Sunshine warms up faster than the lower chords and therefore stronger than that Lower straps can be extended. Such bends take place perpendicular to the Beam longitudinal axes for single span beams with a much larger, about three times as large Amplitude, as this applies to two-field and multi-field carriers, since in the area of the middle Fixed bearing practically no deformation is possible.
Deformations of the type described lead to a corrugation of the guideway and thus an impairment of driving comfort. Also the safe guidance and in the event A magnetic levitation train can also make contactless hovering by too strong Deformation may be at risk. To avoid these problems, it is therefore common to use only two and multi-span beams and those from the increased size and the greater weight resulting disadvantages in terms of manufacture, transportation and to accept assembly.
the top has a thermally insulating cover made of rigid polystyrene foam and one of these apply a protective layer of fiberglass concrete. Attempts in this regard were discontinued, however, because sufficient fatigue strength for such covers is difficult to reach. In particular, during normal operation, one with such carriers manufactured due to the different thermal expansions of the carrier material compared to the material of the covers on the one hand and on the other hand, due to the different types of coating, high shear and shear stresses, that affect the fatigue strength.
the invention has for its object a heat-insulating cover to propose that is stable and durable and also in strong sunlight withstands the loads that occur during operation of the guideway.
the invention has the advantage that the thermal insulation covers due to their floating storage not to the strength association of the carrier belong. This will cause tension in the cover to be different Expansion coefficients minimized. Additional covers can therefore also be used for the covers Purpose-made panels made of high quality materials such as Solar cell modules are used. In particular, there is the advantage that effective and durable thermal insulation, even in strong sunlight so small temperature differences between the upper and lower chords ensured can be that single span beams are no longer dimensioned accordingly Deform two or multiple field beams.
Fig. 1 shows roughly schematically a two-field carrier 1 and two in their longitudinal direction single-field beams 2 and 3 arranged one behind the other, which together have approximately the same length as the two-field carrier 1.
the carrier 1 is in a central area with a Fixed bearing 4 and supported at both ends with a floating bearing 5.
the carrier 2 is on the left end in Fig. 1 with a floating bearing 6 and at the other end with a Fixed bearing 7 mounted, while the carrier 3 at its end facing the carrier 2 with a fixed bearing 8 and at the other end with a floating bearing 9.
the pillars or substructures on which the bearings 5 to 9 are mounted are for simplicity not shown for the sake of it.
the carriers 1, 2 and 3 and the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 2 to 4 are carriers for a magnetic levitation train, the carrier 1 being e.g. B. a length of 50 m and the beams 2 and 3, for example, each have a length of 25 m.
the cross sections of the beams 1, 2 and 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 sunlight, since they are much faster in the area of their top chords 1a, 2a and 3a than be heated in the area of their lower chords 1b, 2b and 3b. Is, for example, a temperature difference 25 ° C, can mm for the carrier 1 of about 3, and A 2 (or 3) are formed on the carrier 2 of about 10 mm therefrom deflection amplitudes A 1, the latter can not be tolerated.
Carriers of the type described are generally known and therefore do not need any further details to be explained. Only in this context is reference to the publications DE 34 04 061 C1, DE 39 28 277 C1 and ZEV glass. Ann. 105, 1981, No. 7/8, Pp. 204 - 215), hereby to avoid repetition by reference be made the subject of the present disclosure.
beams 11 made of steel according to FIGS. 2 and 3 and beams 12 from Concrete according to FIG. 4 is provided, only the left half of the beam being shown.
the right half of the beam can be mirror-symmetrical to the left half of the beam be formed, and for the rest, the carrier 11, 12 can be analogous to the carriers 1 to 3 1 formed and dimensioned.
the carrier 11 has a z. B. triangular cross section through two obliquely arranged side parts 14 is formed, the top of which by one plate-shaped upper flange 15 and on its underside by a not shown, for. B. tubular or also plate-shaped lower flange are connected to one another, preferably by welding.
the carrier 11 has on its upper, outside lying side three functional components, the z. B. from one Long stator section 16 of a conventional long stator linear motor, a side guide rail 17 and a slideway 18 on which a magnetic levitation vehicle, not shown if necessary, can slide with support or skids attached to it.
the cavity 18, which is open at the top, is covered by a heat-insulating, weather-resistant Cover covers 23, which is preferably substantially flush with the Slideways 18 arranged surface and expediently only on the the width of the carrier 11 available between the slideways 18 extends, so that they do not fall on the slideways 18 when the support runners are possibly placed can be destroyed.
the clamping rails 27, 28 can expediently cover the whole Extend the length of the carrier 11, as shown in FIG. 3.
the support 12 which is made entirely of concrete, has an upper chord 31 with an upper side, which forms a cavity 32 2, which is covered by cover 23 at the top and at the bottom, analogously to FIG is limited by the upper chord 31.
Clamping rail 28 can be provided, since this by means of screws 33 and dowels 34 or The like directly on laterally projecting parts 35 of the carrier 12 which support the strips 21 can be attached.
the cuffs 26 are the parts between one 35 with the upper chord 31 connecting the carrier section and the clamping rails 28, however, decoupled from the carrier 12.
the arrangement corresponds to the plan view 4 therefore shows the top view of the arrangement according to FIG. 2 shown in FIG. 3.
the cuffs 26 are made of a durable, weather-resistant material such as z. B. made of natural rubber. You can also look over the whole, parallel to Longitudinal axis 25 (Fig. 3) measured length of the carrier 11, 12 extend or from individual, each consist only of one or more plates 24 enclosing pieces. The fat and elasticity of the cuff material are chosen so that the desired Floating storage results from different thermal expansions Tensions are absorbed by the cuffs 26 and not temperature-related Cracks or the like arise in the insulation elements 24.
the insulation elements 24 consist of a particularly preferred and best held embodiment of the invention from plate-shaped solar cell modules.
Such modules can e.g. B. consist of crystalline silicon semiconductor layers that covered with protective layers of glass or plastic or otherwise weatherproof, but are encapsulated translucent. Alternatively, the like with amorphous silicon. formed solar cells or thin film or thin film cells developed in recent times be applied to the corresponding carrier plates made of glass, plastic or another suitable, heat-insulating material. hereby there is the advantage that the carriers 11, 12 have a new function, namely the generation of electrical energy with the means of photovoltaics. The generated electrical energy can be fed into the public grid or, if this is the case with the Crossing the magnetic levitation shadowing occurring to intolerable Current fluctuations leads, processed and z. B. to generate hydrogen for Fuel cells can be used, which prove to be future ecologically advantageous drive units for automobiles or for the energy supply of magnetic levitation trains yourself.
the cavity 19 preferably serves as a cable duct, i.e. H. to accommodate electrical Lines and cables 36, in particular those used for the electrical connection of the various Serve solar cell modules along the entire support 11,12. Moreover can also in the cavities 19 along the route between the substations Route cables laid to feed the sections of the Long stator motor are required. Alternatively, and additionally, in the cavities 19 also the lines of the for the control and monitoring of the operation of the Vehicles required operational control system as well as power or telephone cables or the like. be housed by public networks. The latter is particularly useful in dense populated areas.
the carriers 11 and 12 described are thus suitable for producing a multifunctional Guideway, especially for magnetic levitation trains, by a variety of Carriers in the direction of travel (or in the direction of the longitudinal axes 25) as indicated in Fig. 3 is arranged one behind the other and at least selected, preferably all carriers how the described carriers 11 and 12 are formed. That way they can Cavities 19 extending over the entire route and cable channels and the solar cell modules form a photovoltaic power plant that extends over the entire route. Thereby on the one hand, additional costs are saved for cable ducts to be laid in the ground, on the other hand, proceeds from the use of solar power.
the described carriers 11, 12 and the routes that can be produced from them bring next to the Multifunctionality above all has the advantage of effective and durable thermal insulation for the upper chords 15, 31, the carrier 11, 12 with them.
the temperature differences between the Upper and lower straps of the carrier 11, 12 small even in strong sunlight being held.
This enables the deformations explained with reference to FIG. 1 greatly reduce that the single-field beams 2, 3 are no stronger than the two-field beams 1 deform. Therefore, as an alternative to the previous practice for routes of those interested here Type mostly single-field girders reduced in weight and size can be used, which affects production, transport and assembly make significant simplifications and cost savings.
the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, which are described in can be modified in many ways.
the invention is also based on beams and cross-sections different from those shown, as well as different designs Upper straps applicable.
the described floating storage by means of the cuffs 26 also by other suitable means are ensured, with the plate-shaped insulation elements 24 by others suitable means for heat insulation can be replaced, for example with loose Cassettes filled with thermal insulation. It is clear that it is also a carrier for the Driveways can act as magnetic levitation vehicles.
