Definitions

• the invention relates to a transfer device for self-propelled wagons on an elevated railway-like route network, the wagons being provided in particular for the transport of people and the route network comprising different stations that can be approached by the wagons.
• a transfer device on a route network for self-propelled cars with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known.
• the known document discloses, in the area of a crossing point at which several route elements or route sections converge in a star shape, a carrier unit in the form of a switch adjustable about a vertical axis, which is designed to accommodate a carriage arriving from a first route element and to Transfer the rotation to a second line element.
• route elements of a route network that are not arranged parallel to one another can be connected to one another.
• the number of route sections that can be connected to one another by the switch is limited due to the principle involved.
• the transfer device according to the invention on a route network for self-propelled cars with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that they can basically be connected to one another by the transfer device with a relatively low construction effort, in such a way that a car can be transferred from a first route to a second, any route by moving it.
• the transfer device according to the invention enables a carriage for loading and unloading to be removed from the area of a route without the route being blocked for other cars in the area of the transfer device.
• the carrier unit is arranged so as to be linearly movable in the region of a preferably portal-like carrier structure, in particular parallel to the end section of the section element facing the carrier unit.
• a particularly simple construction of the portal-like support structure is achieved if it has a cross member with at least one cross member on which the carrier unit is movably arranged.
• the cross member has two cross members, between which the carrier unit can be displaced by means of roller elements arranged on the carrier unit.
• the use of two cross members, between which the carrier unit is arranged, has the particular advantage of a particularly good guidance of a carriage on the carrier unit or when crossing the carrier unit.
• the carrier unit has at least one profile section for a carrier arm of the carriage. This profile section is aligned with the section element in such a way that no height offset occurs when the carriage is transferred to the carrier unit.
• an operation of the car is achieved in which it can traverse the area of the portal-like support structure without performing a turning maneuver or without an intermediate stop or speed reduction.
• a further, very particularly preferred structural design of the carrier unit which on the one hand makes it possible, when the car stops in the area of the portal-like carrier structure, either to move or turn the car around in the opposite direction of travel, or to lower or lower it without additional structural measures.
• Raising the car to the surface of the ground for boarding or alighting provides that the carrier unit is made up of at least two elements, a first element that is guided in the area of the cross member, and a second element that is designed to the car respectively.
• the trolley is guided in certain areas in the area of a support arm of the trolley which is arranged on the top of the gondola of the trolley.
• the second element can be lowered and raised relative to the first element for getting in or out by means of a lifting device and / or that the second element for turning maneuvers of the car about a vertical axis for first element is rotatably arranged.
• a particularly preferred embodiment of the transfer device in which the route sections can still be used by cars, even if a car is already located in the area of the portal-like support structure, which, for example, makes a stop to get in or out, provides that in the area the support structure several support units are arranged, which, if necessary, can be aligned with the end portion of the track element.
• Such a configuration makes it possible, with two routes arranged parallel to one another and traversing the portal-like support structure, to discharge or relocate a car on one route, while the other route can continue to be operated.
• the two outer carrier units being able to be aligned with two opposite and aligned end sections of the track elements when the inner carrier units are arranged parallel between the outer carrier units.
• Such a configuration with four carrier units makes it possible to carry out a stop of a car or a transfer of a car from the track on each of the two parallel routes running and to complete the route with another carrier unit in such a way that, despite the car being diverted, the route of one can be driven on by other cars.
