TRANSPORT SYSTEM COMPRISING PIPELINE AND VEHICLE FOR MOVEMENT INSIDE PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B61B13/08 B61B13/10 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transport systems. Transport system comprises a pipeline and a vehicle comprising a streamlined shell with driven wheels on tires, an in-pipe dynamic-type impeller with wheels mounted on resilient suspensions and a drive for varying the inclination angle of the wheels. Streamlined shell comprises running trolleys with wheels installed in niches of lower part of streamlined shell, and wing side panels with aerodynamic profile and end wheels. All wheels feature elasticity with elastic resistance to lateral drift and rest on inner surface of pipeline with alignment of streamlined shell relative to pipeline. Wheels on running trolleys are installed in at least one row one after another. Traveling trolleys are made in the form of a frame representing a lever suspension with elastic and damping elements installed in a streamlined shell on a transverse axis, swinging on spherical bearings with an adjustable position in longitudinal vertical planes. Proposed trolley arranged at vehicle nose is rotary. Pipeline consists of initial, speed and final sections, between which there are transition zones.

EFFECT: reliable transportation of passengers and cargoes via pipelines at high speeds.
