CARGO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WITH UNITARY TRACTION-LEVITATION LINEAR ELECTRIC DRIVE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B60L13/04 B60L13/10 B61B13/08 

FIELD: vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a transport system. Cargo transportation system with a unitary traction-levitation linear electric drive comprises track 7 with autonomous transport modules 8, made in the form of connected cylindrical tubular sections with active elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 of unitary traction-levitation linear electric drives (UTLEP) installed in them. Active elements of UTLEP are made in the form of four-block ellipse assemblies of linear motors, are located on the inner surface of the cylindrical tubular sections of the track at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis and interact with the cylindrical bodies of autonomous transport modules 8. Hulls of autonomous transport modules 8 are made of two-layer steel and aluminum and levitate, position and move the transport modules along the route. For the positioning of transport modules relative to the longitudinal axis of the route, there are three longitudinal electrodynamic positioning zones in the aluminum layer of the transport module cover (two upper and one lower).

EFFECT: as a result, there is no mechanical interaction between the track and the transport module, which allows the latter to develop high speeds.
