Accordingly, in Fig. 1, the pipe connecting the redirection terminal 102 and the destination terminal of the reference numeral 104 is shown with the reference numeral 105 indicating the main conveying pipe and the reference numeral 106 indicating the branched conveying pipe.

The pressurization equipments 111 and 112 are components for applying pressure energy of a fluid for transport of the transport capsule 130 into the main transport pipe 105. The pressurization equipments 111 and 112 are provided with the starter pressurization equipment 111 provided in the starting terminal 101. In addition, it may be configured to include a plurality of intermediate pressure equipment 112 is installed in the main transport pipe 105 to apply the pressure energy of the additional fluid for the transport of the transport capsule 130.

Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, intermediate pressurization equipment may be installed in each branch transfer pipe 106.

In addition, the transport capsule 130 is a device for loading and transporting cargo, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, manufactured in a cylindrical structure of a circular cross section having a predetermined length (for example, 7m) and diameter (for example, 1.5m) It may be, it is provided with a structure equipped with a plurality of wheels (133, 133a) to move on the inner wall surface of the transfer pipes 105, 106 to enable smooth movement in the transfer pipes (105, 106) and minimize the frictional resistance.

In a preferred embodiment, the transport capsule 130 has an inner space 132 to load the cargo (1) as illustrated, the overall appearance can be produced in a bullet shape having a streamlined front end.

In addition, the wheel is mounted on the transport capsule 30 is mounted on the lower surface of the transport capsule 130 and the main driving wheel 133 to support the weight of the transport capsule to move the bottom surface of the transport pipe 105, 106 and cloud; Mounted on the upper surface of the transport capsule 130 may be composed of an auxiliary wheel (133a) for rolling the upper inner wall surface of the transport pipe (105, 106).

As a result, the transport capsule 130 by the rolling movement of these wheels (133,133a) can be a transport device for moving at high speed in close contact with the inner wall surface of the transport pipe 105, 106, the transport capsule 130 at high speed The friction between the inner wall surface of the feed pipes 105 and 106 can be minimized.

In addition, in the present invention, the transport capsule 30 loads the cargo 1 in the interior space 132 or opens and closes the interior space 132 so that the cargo 1 in the interior space 132 can be dropped outward. The door 131 is provided with a structure installed.

In addition, the transport capsule 130 is provided with a redirection device, which is a branched transport pipe 106 is connected to the destination terminal 103a, 103b of the destination in the redirection terminal 102 of the transport capsule 130 It is used to switch the direction of movement (see Fig. 7).

That is, the redirection device is a device for changing the moving direction of the transport capsule 130 to be moved to the selected branch transfer pipe 106.

Looking at the configuration of the redirection device, first, the front end of the transport capsule 130 has a configuration that is installed propeller 135 capable of forward, reverse drive for the change of direction, the front end of such a transport capsule 130 An actuator (not shown) for rotating the propeller 135 is embedded.

An actuator for rotating the propeller 135 may be an electric motor driven by the propeller 135 mounted on a driving shaft and receiving power from a battery built in the transport capsule 130.

According to the rotation direction of the propeller 135 in the direction change device as described above, the transport capsule 130 is to change the direction in either the left and right direction in the direction change terminal 102, for example, when driven in the forward direction to the left, the reverse direction When driven in the direction can be switched to the right. As the propeller 135 is rotated in any one selected direction, the transport capsule may be redirected in a desired direction.

In the present invention, the transport capsule 130 is a high-speed running under the pressure of the air in the conveying pipe 105, the speed is reduced in the state entered into the direction change terminal 102, the low-speed transport capsule 130 is a wing Since the cylindrical structure of the circular cross section without the front end of the propeller 135 is rotated in either direction it is possible to change the direction to the left or right.

In this state of change is made to enter the selected branch transfer pipe 106 and finally arrive at the desired destination terminal.

The transport capsule 130 may be made of a lightweight, high-strength metal material such as aluminum alloy having a light and high strength or a composite material such as FRP, and the capacity of the internal cargo space 132 or the allowable cargo weight is mainly transported. It may be optimized in consideration of the type of cargo (1) or the capacity and transportation cost of the system.

Then, a bar code 139 is attached to the outer surface of the transport capsule 130 to provide transport information including destination information, and the transport information of the bar code 139 of the redirection terminal 102 as described below. It is read by the barcode reader 141 installed at the entrance side and input to the central control system (not shown).

In addition, when the transport capsule 130 is manufactured in a structure having a streamlined body of a circular cross section as shown in Figure 3 to 5, the main transport pipe 105 and the branched transport pipe 106 is a circular cross section Can be constructed with a pipe having a (see FIG. 5), wherein the inner diameter of the main conveying pipe 105 and the branched conveying pipe 106 is constructed in a size approximately matching the outer diameter of the transport capsule 130, the transport capsule When 130 is pressurized and pushed by the pressing force of the pressurizing fluid (pressure of the pressurization equipment) such as air acting on the rear side, sufficient force to be transported over a long distance can be applied to the transport capsule 130.

Next, referring to FIG. 6, the pressurizing facilities 111 and 112 are pressurized, and the pressurizing facilities 111 and 112 inject high-pressure air as a pressurizing fluid to the rear side of the transport capsule 130 so that the transport capsule 130 is transported mainly. It is a component that presses (pushes) the transport capsule 130 from the back so that it can be transported along the pipe 105 or the branched transport pipe 106.

In this way, the pressurization facilities 111 and 112 pressurize air (pressurizing fluid) to the rear side of the transport capsule 130 at high pressure to push the transport capsule 130, so that pressure energy of the pressurized fluid is applied to the rear surface of the transport capsule 130. This pressure energy allows the transport capsule 130 to be transported along the main transport pipe 105 and the branched transport pipe 106.

In a preferred embodiment, the pressurization equipment (111, 112) is a pressurizer 113 for compressing and supplying the pressurized fluid air at high pressure, and the main feed pipe 105 or branched feed pipe at the outlet end of the pressurizer 113 It is installed so as to surround the 106 is directed to the advancing direction of the transport capsule 130 along the periphery of the main conveying pipe 105 or the branched conveying pipe 106 is supplied from the pressurizer 113 discharge port ( It may be configured to include a pressure pipe 114 for discharging into the main transfer pipe 105 or the branch transfer pipe 106 through the 115.

The pressurizer 113 may be a blower or a compressor for supplying air at a high pressure, a high pressure pump, and the like, and the pressurization pipe 114 may be a main transport pipe 105 or a branched transport at an outlet end of the pressurizer 113. As a tube extending to surround the pipe 106, the discharge port 115 of the pressure pipe 114 is installed to communicate with the inside of the main transfer pipe 105 or the branch transfer pipe 106.

As a result, the air supplied by the pressurizer 113 may be injected into the main conveying pipe 105 or the branched conveying pipe 106 through the pressurizing pipe 114, and the transport capsule is injected into the pressure energy of the injected air. It is possible to push 130.

In addition, the reverse pressure installation 123 is provided at the inlet side of each of the destination terminals 103a, 103b, and 104, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the reverse pressure installation 123, and the configuration of the above-mentioned starting point pressurization facility ( There is no significant difference as compared with the configuration of the 111 or the intermediate pressure installation 112.

However, the reverse pressure facility 123 is a facility for reducing the speed of the transport capsule 130 entering the destination terminals 103a, 103b, 104 through the main transport pipe 105 or the branched transport pipe 106. In particular, the pressure energy of the air is configured to act on the front portion of the transport capsule 130 to enter the destination terminal through the pressure tube (125).

That is, when the pressurizer 124 compresses and supplies air at a high pressure, the air supplied by the pressurizer 124 is supplied through the pressurizing pipe 125 and the discharge port 125a to the main conveying pipe 105 or the branched conveying. Injected into the pipe 106, at this time the high-pressure air is injected in the reverse direction of the transport capsule travel direction is to act on the front portion of the transport capsule (130).

As the high-pressure air is injected in the reverse direction, the pressure energy acts on the front portion of the transport capsule 130, so that the speed of the transport capsule 130 entering at high speed can be reduced, and the speed is reduced. The capsule 130 can be stably entered into the destination terminal.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7, the branched transfer pipe 106 extending to each destination terminal (103a, 103b) branched from the main transfer pipe 105 at the point where the internal cross-sectional area of the diverting terminal ( 102 is constructed, the barcode reader 141 for reading the information of the barcode 139 attached to the outer surface of the transport capsule 130 is installed at the inlet side of the redirection terminal 102.

The bar code 139 information read by the bar code reader 141 is input to the central control system, and from the bar code 139 information, the central control system transfers the arrived transport capsule 130 to the destination terminals 103a and 103b. It is recognized by the transport capsule 130 as a destination and the transport capsule that is not.

In more detail, since the internal cross-sectional area of the redirection terminal 102 has an expanded form, the speed decrease of the transport capsule 130 in a state immediately before entry from the main transport pipe 105 at the inlet side is made. In the state of entering the turning terminal 102, the transport capsule 130 passes through the turning terminal 102 in the low speed state is completely lowered.

At this time, the central control system is a transport capsule 130 entered into the redirection terminal 102 from the information obtained through the barcode reader 141 through the branch transfer pipe 106 in the redirection terminal 102. Is the transport capsule to be transported to the destination terminal (103a, 103b) in the vicinity, or passed through the redirection terminal 102 as it is to be further pushed by the intermediate pressure facility 112 and then transferred to another destination terminal (104). It will be identified as a transport capsule.

If the transport capsule 130 is to be branched to the destination terminal (103a, 103b) in the vicinity of the predetermined transfer process is carried out by switching the transport capsule 130 to the branched conveying pipe 106.

In this process, the central control system drives the propeller 135 of the transport capsule 130 through communication between the communication module installed in the direction switching terminal 102 and the communication module installed inside the corresponding transport capsule 130 to the destination terminal ( The transport capsules 130 are diverted toward the branched feed pipes 106 connected to 103a and 103b.

At this time, the propeller 135 is a device for changing the direction of the transport capsule 130 toward the branched conveying pipe 106 in the direction change terminal 102, the transport according to the forward or reverse driving of the propeller 135 As the direction of the capsule 130 is switched in a specific direction, the moving direction of the transport capsule 130 toward the branch transfer pipe 106 connected to the destination terminals 103a and 103b to be the desired destination is switched.

The transport capsule 130 is then converted by the rotation of the propeller 135 is guided into the branch transfer pipe 106 and then transferred to the destination terminal (103a, 103b).

As a result, the transport capsule 130 transferred through the branch transfer pipe 106 is lowered again by the back pressure facility 123, enters the destination terminals 103a and 103b, and completely stops, thereby completing the cargo (1). ) The transportation is completed.

In this process, the central control system controls the driving of the actuator in the transport capsule so that the transport capsule can be finally guided to specific destination terminals 103a and 103b according to the barcode 139 information of the transport capsule 130. The rotation direction of the 135 is controlled, and the operation of the reverse pressure installation 123 installed on the destination terminals 103a and 103b is controlled.

The air pressure supplied by the back pressure facility 123 is formed and supplied only at a level capable of lowering the speed of the transport capsule 130 entered at a high speed. In this case, when the excess air pressure is supplied, the transport capsule 130 arrives. It may not be possible to enter the terminals 103a, 103b, so that the transport capsule 130 may provide only adequate back pressure at a level that can be stopped at the destination terminals 103a, 103b after slowing down. Supply pressure must be set.

On the other hand, in the case of other transport capsules 130 that do not have a destination terminal 103a, 103b connected through the branched conveying pipe 106 in the redirection terminal 102 as a destination, the redirection terminal 102 is not changed. After passing through the redirection terminal 102, the transport capsule 130 is passed again by the intermediate pressure facility 112 installed in the main transport pipe 105 by the operation of the reverse pressure facility (123). You can safely arrive at the destination terminal.

1 and 7, if the destination terminal 103a and 103b is a terminal of the intermediate ground connected via the branched feed pipe 106 in the middle of the main feed pipe 105, reference numeral 104 denotes the main feed pipe. 105 is extended to become a destination terminal installed at the extended end position thereof.

As described above, a separate bar code reader 141 may be installed at the inlet side of the destination terminal 104 installed at the end of the main transport pipe 105, and the transport capsule 130 may be installed from the bar code information obtained by the bar code reader 141. The central control system, which recognizes the position immediately before the arrival terminal 104, operates the reverse pressure facility 123 of the arrival terminal 104 to slow down the speed of the transport capsule 130, and to reduce the speed. The transport capsule 130 is allowed to enter and stop within the destination terminal 104.

On the other hand, the departure terminal 101 and the transfer pipe (main transfer pipe 105 and branch transfer pipe 106) may be further provided with a gate 117 that is electrically opened and closed, the gate 117 is transported The capsule 130 may be disposed at the front side of the pressurizing equipment 111 and 112 based on the conveying direction of the capsule 130.

In addition, in the present invention, a plurality of release valves 116 for discharging air are installed in the transfer pipes (the main transfer pipe 105 and the branch transfer pipe 106).

When the signal is transmitted to the control system, the transport capsule 130 closes the gate 117 located at the rear side when passing the position where the barcode reader 141 is installed, and then operates the pressurization facility 111 at the rear of the transport capsule. Let's go.

As such, the central control system may be configured to control the operation of the gate 117 and the pressurizing device 111 based on the detection information of the barcode reader 141.

The control of the central control system may be similarly applied to the case of the intermediate pressurization device 112 and the gate 117 installed in the transfer pipes 10 and 106. In the configuration of FIG. 10, the barcode reader 141 is a transport capsule 130. When the bar code information is detected, the gate 117 of the rear side of the transport capsule is closed and then the pressurization facility 112 of the rear side of the transport capsule is operated.

This control may be equally applied to all the intermediate pressure installations 112 installed in the transfer pipes 105 and 106 and all the gates 117 installed on the front side thereof.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of release valves 116 may be installed in the transfer pipes 105 and 106, which are based on the transfer direction of the transport capsule 130. It may be provided at the front side (upstream side).
