JPH0415158A - Branching device for upper and lower passage of magnetically levitating train and operating mechanism of horizontal and vertical curved line - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a high-density flexible transport system in an existing urban space by providing an operating mechanism for the traveling device (truck) of a vehicle, mechanisms for enlarging, reducing, and curving the rail width of a passage, a vertically branching mechanism, a combination of these mechanisms, and a control mechanism for communicating the mechanisms with one another, and operating a magnetic levitating train in an overhead crossing and on a sharply curved line. CONSTITUTION:Each of four trucks 2 disposed on the lower face of a vehicle body 1 and moving independently of one another is a mechanism protruding outside of the width of the vehicle body and capable of being rotated on horizontal and vertical planes. The passage of trains is roughly divided into a normal portion and a branch portion; i.e. a normal passage has rails 3 in the width of the vehicle body and has side walls 4 to which the rails 3 can be attached. At the branch portion the width of each of right and left rails is increased in order for the width of the vehicle body to be vertically movable and a branching device 5 is located in an overhead crossing portion. The branching device for switching the course of trains comprises a branch rail (plate) which is rotated at an overhead crossing point and connects horizontal rails to respective upper rails. Movement of upper and lower passages during the stopped state of trains is accomplished only by a vertically moving device 8 for the rails at a truck portion.
