Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rail switch configuration according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Rail vehicles of any kind for example passenger trains, freight trains, electric trains for transportation inside closed rooms such as assembly halls, sorting stations or High-bay storage, hanging or on the floor, must be at branching points the rail tracks in the desired direction using switches be performed.
  • Points which are equipped with movable rail parts are which are pivotable or slidable in a gap of one or the other rail direction can be used.
  • the one for the movement of the Rail parts required energy is considerable.
  • the disadvantage is furthermore the susceptibility to wear in connection with weather influences and pollution.
  • Such mechanical, i.e. active Turnouts are extremely maintenance-intensive. Your use in explosion protection and wet cleaning is hardly possible and largely also not permitted.
  • the invention has for its object a railroad switch configuration with regard to energy consumption, maintenance requirements, Web throughput and risk of wear and tear and contamination improve. It should also be striven for that use in explosion protection and is possible without restriction in wet rooms.
  • the object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.
  • the basic idea of the invention is the fixed and necessary to go through branches to swap moving parts of the track and switches. This gives the opportunity to create constructions that due to very low energy consumption, smooth driving through the Branches without stopping or braking phase and little wear and significantly reduced maintenance requirements.
  • the electric or diesel locomotive have a device which engages in a guide rail of the passive switch in such a way that the locomotive and all coupled wagons in the desired Direction.
  • the following explanations refer but only on the electric floor and overhead monorail for industrial uses, whereby the exemplary character is emphasized.
  • the position of the rocker is preferably contactless controlled by means of inductive energy transfer heads. This results in an advantageous smooth movement of the rocking movements.
  • the energy requirement the electric floor or overhead monorail is also non-contact covered by inductive energy transmission.
  • the direction of travel can also be set. Nevertheless, within the Soft no moving parts required.
  • the moving part is the Seesaw, which is part of the electric floor or overhead monorail is.
  • Lanes with a programmed destination can be immediately in front of a Branch determine the direction of travel if necessary.
  • This variant is particularly advantageous for closely consecutive webs that are not operate according to a kind of timetable, but for example via distance sensors Detect lanes ahead and with the help of an intelligent Logic according to claim 7 independently optimal routes to achieve of a certain target point.
  • Such systems are very flexible and usable, for example, on assembly lines with large batch sizes.
  • Firgur 1a illustrates the lower part of an electric floor railway - EBB - 1 in cooperation with a branch area 2 one Rail assembly 3.
  • the rail assembly 3 is in the essentially designed as a hollow profile 4 with a longitudinal slot 5 on the top.
  • the longitudinal slot 5 extends through a guide pin 6 of the EBB 1, the top with a chassis axle 7 and on the underside with a support bearing 8 and a rocker 13 is connected.
  • the chassis axis 7 connects two Drive wheels 9 with each other, which on both sides of the longitudinal slot 5 on the Top 10 of the hollow profile 4 are movable and the forward movement the EBB 1 effect.
  • the support bearing 8 for example a ball bearing, acts on the inside 11 of two guide rails 12 of the hollow profile 4 together.
  • the guide rails 12 protrude on both sides of the Longitudinal slot 5 into the interior of the hollow profile 4.
  • Below the Guide rail / support bearing assembly 12/8 is the rocker 13 over an axis of rotation 14, which is connected to the guide pin 6, arranged.
  • At the free ends 15 and 16 of the rocker 13 are upstanding Guide rollers 17 and 18 arranged.
  • Depending on the position of the Rocker 13 with the outer sides 19 of the guide rails 12 can be hooked.
  • the position shown in FIG. 1 is the right guide roller 18 hooked, causing EBB 1 to turn right.
  • the EBB 1 would be the one shown in Figure 1b Continue the rail track arrangement 3 straight ahead.
  • the control of the Rocker 13 is carried out via two mirror-symmetrical inductive Energy transfer heads 20, the free ends 15 and 16 of the rocker 13 opposite and arranged in the lower region of the hollow profile 4 are.
  • the two energy transfer heads 20 either the left free end 15 or the right free end 16 of the rocker 13 attracted so that the other free end with the associated Guide roller 17 or 18 is hooked into one of the guide rails 12.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b 21 the same rocker principle is provided. It can be seen that the EMS 21 in the illustrated position of the rocker 13 to the right and thus in a right turn is drawn.
  • a modified hollow profile 22 is on one Ceiling structure 23 attached.
  • the rocker 13 and the inductive Energy transfer heads 20 are also in the hollow profile 22 Drive wheels 9 of the EMS 21 arranged.
  • the chassis axis 7 is on the top with the axis of rotation 14 of the rocker 13 and on the bottom with a Longitudinal slot 5 penetrating holding device 24 for a not shown to be transported connected load.
  • the holding device 24 the EMS 22 is analogous to the guide pin 6 of the EBB 1 with a Support bearing 25, which on a neck-shaped extension of the Longitudinal slot 5 is present.
  • the invention is not limited to the above Execution examples. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which, even if the execution is fundamentally different, from the Make use of features of the invention.
