A guide track includes a guide rail having a guide groove opened upward in which guide wheels are inserted, and formed with guide surfaces for causing each of the guide wheels to roll at both sides of a traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails that are placed at both sides of an outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe of a power collector of a track-based vehicle; a first insulator that supports the conductor rails with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe.

Guide track for track-based vehicle, and traffic system

Provided is a core (A), in which split pieces (P) adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction are coupled by a coupling pin (), an axial direction of which is disposed in a width direction of the split pieces (P), at a radial inner circumferential side thereof, and split surfaces () formed by both of the split pieces (P,P) include a first load receiving surface () and a second load receiving surface () having a predetermined angle with respect to a radial direction at a radial outer circumferential side from the coupling pin ().

Inner safety wheel, tire with inner safety wheel, and vehicle equipped with tires with inner safety wheel

A travel device includes a bogie frame () configured to support an axle () to which a wheel () is attached, a suspension frame () disposed close to a center of a vehicle body () with respect to the bogie frame () and having a support section () extending downward from the vehicle body (), and an upper link () and a lower link () configured to connect the support section () and the bogie frame () to relatively move the bogie frame () with respect to the support section () in a vertical direction. In the lower link (), a position () at which the lower link () and the bogie frame () are connected by pin coupling is disposed lower than a position () at which the lower link () and the support section () are connected by pin coupling. In addition, even in the upper link (), similar to the lower link, a position () at which the upper link () and the bogie frame () are connected by pin coupling is disposed lower than a position () at which the upper link () and the support section () are connected by pin coupling. Thus, the lower link () and the upper link () are installed parallel to each other.

Vehicle and travel device for same

A vehicle wheel, which is divided in an axial direction of a tire into two pieces which are an in-side half wheel and an out-side half wheel that are connected to each other and fixed to an axle hub, includes wheel coupling bolts joining a mating surface of the in-side half wheel and a mating surface of the out-side half wheel together, and hub bolts joining the out-side half wheel and the axle hub together. The wheel coupling bolts and the hub bolts are respectively screwed into nuts from the out-side half wheel side.

Vehicle wheel, running wheel, vehicle and method of assembling and disassembling vehicle wheel

A guide track (A) includes a guide rail () having a guide groove () opened upward in which the pair of guide wheels () inserted, and is formed with a pair of guide surfaces () for causing each of the pair of guide wheels () to roll at both sides of the traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails () that are placed at both sides of the outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove () to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe () of a power collector () of the track-based vehicle; a first insulator () that is formed of an insulation material and supports the conductor rails () with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates () serving as insulation materials that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail () in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail () and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe () so as to prevent a short circuit due to contact with the conductor rail () in a vertical direction.

A guide rail type vehicle is provided with a guide wheel that comes into rolling contact with a guide rail, a switching wheel that is comes into rolling contact with a switching rail installed at a switching location of the guide rail, a wheel axle in which the guide wheel is connected to the top end and the switching wheel is connected to the bottom end, a support receiver of which the height dimension is set to be smaller than the corresponding length dimension of the wheel axle and which supports the wheel axle, and adjustment device which adjusts the sizes of a gap of the guide wheel side and a gap of the switching wheel side, which are accessed from a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the wheel axle, and are therefore capable of adjusting the height of the guide wheel and the switching wheel.

Guide rail type vehicle

A guide rail type vehicle of the present invention comprises a guide frame provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to the floor surface of a vehicle body; a plurality of guide wheels which forms gripping pairs aligned in the vehicle width direction so as to be able to grip a center guide rail, and which is arranged in the front-and-rear direction of the guide frame; equalizing links supporting two guide wheels, which are adjacent to each other in the front-and-rear direction, so as to be able to roll about a guide wheel shaft parallel to the rotation axis, and connecting the two guide wheels as a connected pair and being attached to the guide frame so as to be rotatable about a link shaft parallel to the rotation axis; and a steering link mechanism changing the steering angle of tires.
