TURNOUT OF MAGNETIC-LEVITATION VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B60L13/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of magnetic-levitation vehicle, namely to the design of a turnout on the basis of magnetic levitation. Transfer of the magnetic-levitation vehicle from straight portion 1 of the active track structure to the corresponding curved section 2 thereof is effected by mechanism 5, which provides lifting and finding one of the segments 3 or 4 in operational state in one plane with fixed sections 1 and 2 of the active track structure while simultaneously lowering and removing another segment from the operational state. Segments 3 and 4 of the active track structure in the non-operational state are located from fixed elements 1 and 2 of the active track structure at a distance sufficient to eliminate the effect of the magnetic force field of the dynamic stabilization device of the magnetic-levitation vehicle.

EFFECT: transfer of magnetic-levitation vehicles from the straight track to the spur one or vice versa, without leaving the regime of levitation, and which can be performed using known equipment, technical and technological means, is ensured; as a result, simple and efficient design of the turnout system has been created, movement of vehicles in levitation regime on the turnout is not interrupted.
