[0033] FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a rail transit turnout system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 1, the system includes a base rail beam 1, a turnout beam 5 and branch rail beams, wherein the base rail beam 1 is fixedly supported by a plurality of base pier column 2 arranged at intervals, and the turnout beam 5 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the turnout beam 5 is disposed on a first transition pier column 3, and the first end of the turnout beam 5 is rotatably connected to the first transition pier column 3 through a center pin 4 which is arranged vertically. The second end of the turnout beam 5 is disposed on a second transition pier column 6, and the second end of the turnout beam 5 can travel on the second transition pier column 6. There are at least two branch rail beams. The branch rail beams are fixedly supported by a plurality of branch pier columns 7 arranged at intervals, and each branch rail beam has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The turnout beam 5 is arranged between the base rail beam 1 and the branch rail beams, the first end of the turnout beam 5 docks with an end of the base rail beam 1 facing the turnout beam 5, and the second end of the turnout beam 5 operatively selects to dock with the first end of a certain one of the branch rail beams. The second ends of the branch rail beams extend in a direction away from the turnout beam 5.

[0034] In actual operation, the purpose of switching can be achieved by operating the rotation of the first end of the turnout beam 5 on the first transition pier column 3. Compared with the translational beam replacement type multi-way turnout, a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure adopts a piece of turnout beam as the main body of the turnout, which has a short length and can greatly reduce the mass of the multi-way turnout beam in the prior art, and at the same time the volume and mass of the pier column are reduced and the cost is reduced. Compared with the segmental type multi-way turnout, this embodiment has only one broken-line segment, and needs only two transition pier column beams, which has higher reliability and lower cost.

[0035] In some embodiments, there can be three branch rail beams, respectively a first branch rail beam 8, a second branch rail beam 9 and a third branch rail beam 10. The first branch rail beam 8 and the third branch rail beam 10 are respectively arranged on two sides of the second branch rail beam 9. The second branch rail beam 9 and the base rail beam 1 are positioned in a same line. The first branch rail beam 8, the second branch rail beam 9 and the third branch rail beam 10 are arranged in a fan shape.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, first ends of the plurality of branch rail beams can be fixedly supported by one branch pier column 7.

[0037] In order to adapt to the rotation of the turnout beam, there needs to be a gap between the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5, which is not conducive to the running of a rail vehicle across the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5. To compensate for this gap, the present disclosure provides a compensation assembly.

[0038] FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the compensation assembly in FIG. 1. Combined with FIG. 2, there are two compensation assemblies disposed on the first transition pier column 3. The two compensation assemblies are oppositely arranged on two sides of the turnout beam 5. Each compensation assembly includes at least one compensation device 12. The compensation device 12 has an output part, and the output part of the compensation device 12 is operatively inserted into the gap between the first end of the turnout beam 5 and the end of the base rail beam 1 facing the turnout beam 5, so that the gap between the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5 can befilled to ensure the reliability of the running of a rail vehicle across the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5.

[0039] Combined with FIG. 2, the compensation device 12 includes a compensation beam 122, which is the output part of the compensation device, and the compensation beam 122 operatively moves in a direction perpendicular to the base rail beam 1.

[0040] Combined with FIG. 2, the first transition pier column 3 may include two opposite support columns 301. An inner side of the support column 301 is provided with a support seat 302 corresponding to the compensation device 12, and the compensation device 12 further includes a fixed seat 130 and a driving unit 125. The fixed seat 130 is secured on a corresponding support seat 302. A fixed end of the driving unit 125 is secured on the fixed seat 130, the output end of the driving unit 125 can be telescopically moved back and forth along a horizontal direction, and the output end of the driving unit 125 is fixedly connected to the compensation beam 122. When the compensation beam 122 needs to compensate the gap between the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5, the output end of the driving unit 125 can drive the compensation beam 122 to move to implement the compensation.

[0041] In some embodiments, there can be two driving units 125 disposed opposite to each other in the horizontal direction, and the two driving units 125 move synchronously to make the compensation beam 122 move in a predetermined direction. The driving unit 125 may be a linear reciprocating motion mechanism such as an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0042] In some embodiments, combined with FIG. 2, the support seat 302 may be provided with a guide rail, and the bottom of the compensation beam 122 is provided with a roller wheel 128. The roller wheel 128 is rollable and disposed on the guide rail to reduce friction and improve the swiftness of the operation of the compensation beam 122.

[0043] Combined with FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the bottom of the support seat 302 may be provided with a reinforcing plate 303, and the reinforcing plate 303 is connected with the support column 301 on the same side to improve the bearing capacity of the support seat 302.

[0044] Combined with Fig. 2, in some embodiments, the inner side of the support column 301 is provided with a guiding plate 304 corresponding to the compensation device 12. The bottom of the guiding plate 304 is provided with a slide channel, and the top of the compensation beam 122 is slidably arranged in the slide channel of the corresponding guiding plate 304 to guide the movement of the compensation beam 122.

[0046] When the compensation beam 122 is operated to reach the gap between the base rail beam 1 and the turnout beam 5, in order to prevent the compensation beam 122 from returning, each compensation device 12 is provided with one corresponding locking device. Combined with FIG. 2, the locking device includes a positioning seat 126, a telescopic mechanism and a positioning pin 127. The positioning seat 126 is fixedly arranged on the corresponding compensation beam 122. The positioning seat 126 is provided with a locking hole. The telescopic mechanism is fixedly arranged on the first transition pier column 3. The positioning pin 127 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the positioning pin 127 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism, and the second end of the positioning pin 127 is operatively inserted into the locking hole on the positioning seat 126. After the compensation beam 122 is compensated in place, the telescopic mechanism is operated to move so that the second end of the positioning pin 127 is inserted into the locking hole on the positioning seat 126, and thus the compensation beam 122 can be locked.

[0047] In some embodiments, the positioning seat 126 is preferably arranged at the outer bottom of the compensation beam 122, and preferably there are two locking holes on the positioning seat 126, and the two positioning holes are respectively located on two sides of the compensation beam 122, so that the compensation beam 122 can be locked from two directions to improve the reliability of locking.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the locking device in FIG. 2. Combined with FIG. 3, two telescopic mechanisms 1210 are provided inside the support seat 302, and the output ends of the two telescopic mechanisms 1210 are both vertically telescopic. The axial direction of the locking hole on the positioning seat 126 is vertical. By operating the telescopic mechanism, the positioning pin 127 connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism 1210 can be inserted into the locking hole on the positioning seat 126.

[0049] Of course, the two telescopic mechanisms 1210 can also be arranged on the top of the support seat 302. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism 1210 moves in the horizontal direction, and the axial direction of the locking hole on the positioning seat 126 is in the horizontal direction. By operating the telescopic mechanism, the positioning pin 127 connected to the output end of the telescopic mechanism 1210 can be inserted into the locking hole on the positioning seat 126.

[0050] It should be noted that, before the compensation beam 122 is positioned in place, the output end of the telescopic mechanism is in a retracted state, so that the operation of the compensation beam 122 is not affected.

[0051] Combined with FIG. 2, in some embodiments, a support plate 129 is provided on the inner side of the beam 122. The support plate 129 is used to support the traveling wheels of the rail vehicle to pass, and the inner side of the compensation beam 122 above the support plate 129 is used to support a guiding wheel of the rail vehicle to adapt to the smooth passage of the rail vehicle with the guiding wheel.

[0052] Combined with FIG. 1, the second end of the turnout beam 5 travels on the second transition pier column 6 through a traveling mechanism 11. FIG. 4 is a schematic assembly diagram of the turnout beam and the traveling mechanism, and FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the traveling mechanism. Referring to FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the traveling mechanism 11 includes a traveling track 117 and a traveling unit. The traveling track 117 is arc-shaped, and a center of the arc-shaped traveling track 117 is located on the center line of the center pin 4. The second end of the turnout beam 5 is connected to the traveling unit. The traveling unit can operatively travel on the traveling track 117, so that the first end of the turnout beam 5 is rotated by a certain angle around the center pin. That makes the turnout beam 5 connect with the branch rail beam of a branch to be guided, and then the key action of switching the turnout beam is completed.

[0053] Combined with FIGS. 4 and 5, the traveling unit includes a first side frame 111 and a second side frame 115 arranged oppositely. An end of the first side frame 111 and a corresponding end of the second side frame 115 are connected by connecting beams 116. There are mounting grooves 118 provided on both sides of the bottom of the first side frame 111 and the second side frame 115, and the second end of the turnout beam 5 are fixedly connected in the mounting grooves 118 at the bottom of the first side frame 111 and the second side frame 115 in turn to realize the assembly of the second end of the turnout beam 5 and the traveling unit.

[0054] The first side frame 111, the second side frame 115 and the connecting beam 116 constituting the traveling unit are preferably integrally formed, so that the traveling unit has sufficient bearing strength.

[0055] Combined with FIG. 5, the traveling unit further includes a drive motor 114 and a plurality of wheel shafts 113.

Both the drive wheel 119 and the driven wheels 112 are rollablely arranged on the traveling track 117. The drive motor 114 is fixedly disposed on the outside of the second side frame 115. The output shaft of the drive motor 114 is connected with the wheel shaft 113 on which the drive wheel 119 is mounted, so that the drive motor 114 can drive the wheel shaft 113 on which the drive wheel 119 is mounted to rotate, thereby driving the drive wheel 119 on the wheel shaft 113 to rotate on the traveling track 117 to realize the movement of the traveling unit on the traveling track 117, and the movement of the traveling unit can drive the plurality of driven wheels 112 to roll on the traveling track 117 to balance the movement of the traveling unit.

[0056] In some embodiments, the drive wheel 119 is located on a middle wheel shaft 113 among the plurality of wheel shafts 113, and the way of one drive wheel 119 cooperating with the plurality of driven wheels 112 can simplify the structure and optimize the space.

[0057] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, each wheel shaft may also be provided with multiple wheels, so as to further improve the balance performance of the movement of the traveling unit, and the drive motor can rotate in forward and reverse directions to ensure that the turnout beam swings from side to side around the center rotating device upon switching. Of course, the drive motor is not the only way to drive. Alternatively, an electric push rod can be used to drive, or a slide rail can be mounted on the side of the turnout beam to cooperate with a rotating arm to drive, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0058] The working principle of the rail transit turnout system is as follows: Switching process: Taking the three-way turnout as an example, it is assumed that an initial position of the turnout beam is a straight position as shown in the state in FIG. 1, and an initial position of the compensation beam is all pulled out of the turnout beam, i.e., in a standby position. The compensation beam enters the gap between the turnout beam 5 and the base rail beam 1 to completely compensate it. At this time, the position of the compensation beam is a compensation position. In this situation, the arrangement of the compensation beam is as shown in FIG 6. Referring to FIG. 6, there are four compensation beams, respectively, No. 1 compensation beam 121, No. 2 compensation beam 122, No. 3 compensation beam 123 and No. 4 compensation beam 124.

The two groups of compensation beams are respectively located on two sides of the gap between the turnout beam 5 and the base rail beam 1. Turnout straight position switching process: receives a straight position switching command -- all compensation beams return to the standby position -- the traveling mechanism receives the command and drives the turnout beam to travel on the second transition pier column to make the turnout beam to switch to the straight position -- after the turnout beam is switched into position, the No. 1 compensation beam and the No. 3 compensation beam receive a command and be pushed into the compensation position, and the compensation beams form a state shown in FIG. 7 -- after they are in place, the corresponding locking device acts to lock the compensation beam, and thus locking the switching -- the switching is completed, waiting for the next switching command; Turnout left turn position switching process: receives a left turn position switching command -- all compensation beams return to the standby position -- the traveling mechanism receives the command and drives the turnout beam to travel on the second transition pier column to make the turnout beam to switch to a left turn position, forming a state shown in FIG. 8 -- after the turnout beam is switched into position, the No. 3 compensation beam and the No. 4 compensation beam receive a command, and then the No. 3 compensation beam and the No. 4 compensation beam are pushed into the compensation position, and the compensation beam forms a state as shown in FIG. 9 -- after they are in place, the corresponding locking device acts to lock the compensation beam, and thus locking the switching -- the switching is completed, waiting for the next switching command; Turnout right turn position switching process: receives a right turn position switching command all compensation beams return to a standby position -- the traveling mechanism receives the command and drives the turnout beam to travel on the second transition pier column to make the turnout beam to switch to a right turn position, forming a state shown in FIG. 10 -- after the turnout beam is switched into place, the No. 1 compensation beam and the No. 2 compensation beam receive a command, and then the No. 1 compensation beam and the No. 2 compensation beam are pushed into the compensation position, and the compensation beams form a state as shown in FIG. 11 - after they are in place, the corresponding locking device acts to lock the compensation beam, and thus locking the switching -- the switching is completed, waiting for the next switching command.

[0059] In some embodiments, the compensation device, locking device, and traveling mechanism have their own control logic and can act independently, thus having the characteristics of automatic operation.

[0060] To sum up, the rail transit turnout system shown in the present disclosure is simple and reliable in operation, can effectively shorten the switching time, improve the transportation efficiency, and has good practical value.
