MULTILEVEL RAIL TRANSPORT SYSTEM OF OVERPASS TYPE WITH DIFFERENT SPEEDS OF MOVEMENT ALONG OVERPASSES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B61B1/00 B61B5/02 B61B13/00 E01B25/00 E01B26/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a transport rail system of an overpass type. The transport system consists of loading and unloading section 1, overpasses 2, 3, and 4 located at different levels. Overpasses 2, 3, and 4 are lifted above the ground on supports 5. Overpasses are connected to each other and to the loading and unloading section with rail transition sections 6, 7, and 8. Vehicles 9 move along overpasses 2, 3, and 4. Transition of vehicle 9 from overpass to overpass is performed along transition sections 6, 7, and 8, which are made above overpasses, and movement along them is performed using wheeled transition device 13 fixed on top of vehicle 9. Transition device 13 is made with wheels 11 mounted on sliding transverse beams 12 with an electric drive. For passage of a turning section, wheels 11 are mounted along a width of a rail track of the turning section, and for passage of vehicle 9 along the overpass without interaction with the turning section, wheels 11 are mounted smaller than the width of the track.

EFFECT: throughput capacity of a transport system is increased, a number of necessary stops of vehicles is reduced, when they are moving to a destination point.
