ANNULAR CONTAINER SYSTEM OF PIPELINE CONTAINER AIR TRANSPORT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B65G51/04 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: annular (double-pipe) multicontainer system of pipeline container air transport on the runs between the loading and unloading station is divided by the separate stations into the equal track sections, the equal amount of the controlled single containers moves at each of them. Before each of the loading stations, unloading stations and separate stations along the containers moving the transport pipeline at first has the rise section, which provides the preliminary reduction of the containers speed and then the lifting section transfers to the inclined down the transport pipeline braking section, where occurs the final smooth braking of the moving containers. The pipeline braking section is equipped with sensors for containers passing and aerodischarges with controllable air locks, which are used for finishing the emergency containers to the maintenance containers site. The controlled stop and the mobile platform are installed behind the braking section, the platform has two troughs, one of which is the continuation of the transport pipeline, and the second is used to place the reserve container, which provides the serial output of the standard containers for their routine maintenance performance or emergency container from the transport system and entering the spare container into the transport system without interrupting its operation, and the controlled stop provides retraction of all containers into the short distance, located at the braking section, in order to provide free movement of the mobile platform.

EFFECT: provision of the transport system trouble-free operation and receipt of its specified design capacity.
