BRANCHED TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR INDIVIDUAL CONVEYANCE OF PASSENGERS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport devices.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system contains overhead road with main sections and adjoining transition sections, devices for accommodating passengers with running parts inside overhead road, two current-carrying buses installed on isolators secured on overhead road. Overhead road is made in form of strip with flanges limiting its inner space in cross section at edges. Running part of each device accommodating the passengers consists of two parts arranged symmetrically relative to central axis of cross section of overhead road. Each running part is made in form of hollow metal cylinder with fitted-in electric motor. Axes of rotor of electric motor and hollow cylinder coincide. Hollow cylinder and rotor of electric motor are rigidly interconnected, and stator of electric motor is rigidly connected with end of cylindrical connecting tube. Axis of one end of connecting tube coincides with axis of hollow cylinder. Cylindrical connecting tube is hollow, and it is rigidly connected by second end with drive on device for accommodating passengers. Round-shaped limiter is fitted in base of each hollow metal cylinder nearest to flanging. Bearing is press-fitted on ends of each cylindrical connecting tube rigidly connected with stators of electric motors so that flanges made on edges of overhead road and limiting its inner space are located between limiters and bearings. Control panel is provided with two toggle switches, each connected by inlet with current collector and by outlets, through wires, with terminals of electric motor and drive rigidly secured on device for accommodating the passengers.

EFFECT: reduced wear of system and energy consumption, provision of easy demounting of damage passenger accommodating devices and sections of overhead road.
