Abstract
An operating and locking mechanism for turnouts of central rail-guided vehicles, where the mechanism at the entrance of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to a fixed part comprising having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to a moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever includes grooves located on the main plane of the rocking lever within which rollers which are at a higher level with respect to the rollers of the shafts can be moved and rolled, and where the mechanism at the exit of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to the fixed part having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to the moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever comprises grooves located on the main plane of the rocking lever within which rollers which are at a higher level Z with respect to the rollers of the shafts can be moved and rolled, where the rocking levers move in a synchronous manner and in the same direction by means of rods of the drive motor, generating a rotation of the moving panel around the pivoting point such that the shafts simultaneously reach their locking positions through either the direct route or the diverted route.
