    摘要: A rotary switch for a people mover guideway which as a pair of spaced tire paths with a predetermined tire path, guidebeam and electric rail configuration. The rotary switch routes a transit car from one entry guideway path to either two exit guideway paths. The switch inlcudes a switch frame having guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on opposite sides of the switch frame, each being compatible with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to the respective paths. Each side of the switch frame member includes at least one tire path in alignment with the corresponding guideway tire path for car routing to one of the exit paths. The guidebeam and electric rail structure on each side of the switch frame member are located above the tire path on the corresponding side of the switch frame member and the other tire path for the guideway when the switch frame member is in respective rotational positions. The electric rail structure on each side of the switch frame member includes three elongated power rails and at least two elongated signal rails and structure for supporting the electric rails on each side of the switch frame member, within the space between the associated tire paths, for electrical connection to collectors on the underside of transit cars that pass over the respective sides of the switch.

    摘要: A single turnout rotary guideway switch is provided with an elongated structural frame member having guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on each of two sides of the switch compatible with the guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure of the guideway. Switching is achieved by rotating a movable part of the switch 180 degrees about its longitudinal axis. One elongated beam acts as a principal structural member of the frame and provides a tire path on one of the switch sides for main line car routing by the switch. Another curved beam is secured between the one beam and another elongated beam that extends generally parallel to the one beam. The curved beam cross-supports the frame and provides a tire path on the other switch side for car turnout routing by the switch. In a crossover switching station in a dual lane guideway, a pair of the single turnout rotary switches are combined with an interface guideway section to provide for lane-crossover car routing by the switches.

The switch has an elongated structural frame that has guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure compatible with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to one of the two exit paths on one switch side and to provide car routing to the other of the two exit paths on another switch side. Switching is achieved by rotating a movable part of the switch 180 degrees about its longitudinal axis. First and second shafts support the two ends of the switch frame and one of the shafts is driven to rotate the switch frame between first and second rotational positions in which the switch is locked and the switch sides respectively line up with the guideway configuration. The frame is supported in fixed longitudinal relation to one of the shafts and in longitudinally expandable relation to the other of the shafts to allow the frame to expand and contract longitudinally under thermal and/or car loading and thus permit frame deflection to occur about the shafts and frame lock pins with translational load forces applied to the shafts and lock pins essentially in the vertical direction.

First and second electric rail units are substantially identically structure and extend along the roadway structure between the tire paths to provide conductive surfaces above the tire running surface for electric collection by brush assemblies on the vehicles. Together, the electric rail units have a predetermined number of electric rails to provide power and signal circuits for the vehicles. The first and second electric rail units are supported on opposite sides of the tire path centerline and at substantially equal distances from the centerline to enable turnaround vehicle operation. Further, the first electric rail unit includes three elongated and electrically isolated power rails and one elongated and electrically isolated signal rail, and the second electric rail unit includes one elongated and electrically isolated signal rail. Each of the electric rail units has mounting means for each of its rails, and the mounting means support the signal rails on the respective electric rail units substantially equidistantly from the tire path centerline and substantially equidistantly above the road surface.

    摘要: A rotary switch is provided for a people mover guideway having a predetermined tire path, guidebeam and electric rail configuration. The rotary switch routes a transit car from one entry guideway path to at least either of the two exit guideway paths or vice versa. A movable elongated structural switch frame member has guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on one side compatibly with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to one of the two exit paths in one of two switch positions; the movable switch frame further has guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on another side compatibly with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to the other of the two exit paths in the second switch position. Switching is achieved by rotating a movable part of the switch 180.degree. degrees about its longitudinal axis. A first fixed frame supports a drive shaft which in turn supports a first end of the movable switch frame. A second fixed frame supports a second shaft which in turn supports the second end of the movable switch frame. The movable frame is locked in either of its two positions by a first pair of lock pins for one end of the movable switch frame and a second pair of lock pins for the other end of the movable switch frame. Each of the lock pins extends through an associated opening in the associated fixed frame and the associated end of the movable switch frame and is supported by spherical bearings relative to the fived and movable frames. Hydraulic actuators insert and withdraw the lock pins into and out of movable frame locking position when the movable switch frame is located in either of its two rotational positions.

    摘要: A rotary switch for a people mover guideway having a predetermined path, guidebeam and electric rail configuration, routes a transit car having electric power signal collectors from one entry guideway path to either of two exit guideway paths or vice versa. The switch has an elongated structural frame provided with guidelines, electric rail and tire path structure on one side compatible with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to one of the two exit paths. The frame further has guidebeam, electric rail and tire path structure on another side compatible with the guideway configuration to provide car routing to the other of the two exit paths. The electric rail structure on each side of the frame includes power rails and signal rails disposed along the respective switch paths of travel for respectively contacting the electric collectors of the transit car. An electric connection arrangement for the switch includes first electric conductors for connecting the switch power rails to the guideway electric power rail circuit and second electric conductors for connecting the switch signal rails to the guideway signal rail circuit. The first and second conductors are bundled together in a cable which is provided with a nylon cover and which is supported within a bore through one of the shafts about which the switch is rotated. Rotational motion of the frame is thus permitted between the two positions while electric continuity is maintained from the guideway electric power and signal rail circuits, respectively, to the electric power and signal rails on the two sides of the switch frame through direct connection of electric cables.
