TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE DISPLACEMENT OF SHIPS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: transportation systems. SUBSTANCE: transportation system includes transverse beams, side and keel supports and two half-transborders made in the form of longitudinal beam supported by driving and training trolleys. Each driving trolley includes frame, mechanisms for longitudinal and transverse displacement and driving and trailing pairs for longitudinal and transverse displacement. Wheel pairs for transverse displacement are mounted on transverse axles which are rigidly connected with frame of trolley and wheel pairs for longitudinal displacement are mounted on longitudinal axles articulated with frame of trolley for rotation in vertical plane under action of hydraulic drive used for hoisting and lowering the wheel pairs of longitudinal displacement. All trailing wheel pairs of trolleys are mounted on axles for turn in vertical plane and all driving wheel pairs mounted on axles immovably. Transverse displacement mechanism is rigidly connected with frame of each trolley and longitudinal beam of half-transborder is supported by frame of respective trolley through cylindrical support whose axis in horizontal plane is perpendicular to axis of longitudinal beam. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 cl, 15 dwg
