The monorail logistic system is the development direction of modern logistics.

[0004] However, only passengers can be transported within short distances within the city of the existing monorail due to structural reasons and the requirements of long-distance cargo transportation cannot be met. For example, the existing monorail transport serves passengers in the urban area, and the distance between stations is too small, resulting in a low operation speed. Furthermore, the passenger comfort needs to be considered in the vehicle system, resulting in large carriages and low train speed. Besides, the existing monorail system must have a large space to ensure passenger safety, resulting in excessive construction costs. The above-mentioned problems will be solved in the logistic transportation.

Both sides of the beams are equipped with guide panels and stabilizing panels. One end of the turnout beam is fixed when switching, and the beam moves as a whole to make the movable end of the turnout beam connect with the other turnout beam to form a fork road, changing the route of the vehicle.

[0015] Movable turnout beam: Comprise one or several linear steel beams and one or several fixed curved steel beams, supported by trolleys, and the beams keep the fixed distance between each other.

[0083] It is not difficult for the experts in the field to understand the features shown by the numbers in the figures in combination with the following embodiments, and therefore no more will be repeated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0084] The principle of this patent will be explained below.

[0085] The working principle of the maglev logistic monorail transportation system is explained in the following with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. But before that, it should be pointed out that the embodiments described in the figures are only for demonstration of the principle and cannot be understood as the limitation for the present invention.

[0086] First, the principle of the maglev logistic monorail transportation system based on this patent will be demonstrated with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. From the perspective of force, a maglev guideway 3a is installed on the top of cover beams 10a and 11a through bearings 6a and 7a, and a maglev guideway 4a is installed on the cover beams 10a and 11a through bearings 8a and 9a. The forces, comprising a gravity G1 of the maglev guideway and a gravity G2 received from the unmanned truck and impact force F1, are transmitted to the cover beams 10a and 11a through the bearings 6a and 7a, and then are transmitted by bridge piers 1a and 2a to the underground.

[0087] For the maglev logistic monorail transportation system, the construction cost needs to consider the following factors:

W = i = 1 3 .times. W i ##EQU00002##

[0088] where W.sub.1 is the material and construction cost; W.sub.2 is the increased cost for high vehicle speed requirements; and W.sub.3 is the increased cost of in-car and distribution station construction requirements.

[0089] Because it is cargo transportation, the vehicle comfort requirements, the structure's impact on surrounding noise and the construction costs will be relatively reduced.

[0090] At present, the existing monorail system is all single-mode monorail system. For example, only the lower space of the pier cover beam is used in the suspended monorail traffic and upper space of the pier cover beam is discarded, while in the straddle monorail traffic and maglev traffic, only the upper space is used and the lower space of the pier cover beam is discarded. Therefore, for this single-mode monorail transportation, the biggest problem is that the space utilization rate is too low. From the point of view of traffic level, only one level is used. The passenger flow of the traffic section is Q=q.sub.0, and q.sub.0 is the cross-section single-mode traffic passenger flow per unit time. The logistic flow of the traffic of the cross-section is W=w.sub.0w.sub.0 is single-mode traffic volume per unit time.

[0091] In response to the above problems, combined with the actual situation and characteristics of monorail transportation, a lot of research and simulation has been conducted. Based on the existing theories and practical experience, this patent is proposed which considering the advantages of monorail transportation and the concept of elevated three-dimensional space.

[0092] The double-mode monorail system is proposed in this patent. The working principle of the double-mode monorail system is explained in the following texts with reference to the accompanying figures. But before that, it should be pointed out that the embodiments described in the figures are only for demonstration of the principle and cannot be understood as the limitation for the present invention.

[0093] First, the principle of the double-mode monorail system based on this patent will be demonstrated with reference to FIG. 42. From the perspective of structure, maglev steel box guideways 3a'''' and 4a'''' are installed on the top of cover beams 7a'''' and 8a'''', and suspended monorail I-shaped steel guideways 5a'''' and 6a'''' are installed at the bottom of the cover beams 7a'''' and 8a''''. A gravity G1 of the maglev steel box track girder and a gravity G2 of the suspended monorail I-shaped steel track girder are transmitted to the bridge pier cover girder.

[0094] The principle of the double-mode monorail system based on this patent will be demonstrated with reference to FIG. 42. The double-mode monorail system is proposed in this patent, in which the system is set on the same pier stud.

[0095] The space is divided into two levels by a bridge pier cover beam structure, K1 and K2, the lower and upper levels of the cover beam. The lower and upper traffic levels are used to increase the cross-section passenger flow or logistic flow, and the cross-section passenger flow or logistic transportation capacity is improved.

[0096] In terms of passenger flow, the total passenger flow of a certain section is calculated as follows:

Q = i = 1 2 .times. q i ##EQU00003##

[0097] where q.sub.1 is the monorail traffic passenger flow in level K1; and q.sub.2 is the monorail traffic passenger flow in level K2.

[0098] Compared with the existing single-mode transportation system, the passenger transportation capacity of this patent has increased to the two-level space passenger transportation capacity, which is double the passenger flow transportation capacity of the existing single-mode transportation system.

[0099] In terms of logistics, the total logistic flow of a certain section is calculated as follows:

W = i = 1 2 .times. w i ##EQU00004##

[0100] where w.sub.1 is the monorail traffic volume in level K1; and w.sub.2 is the monorail traffic volume in level K2.

[0101] Compared with the existing single-mode transportation system, the logistic transportation capacity of this patent has increased to a two-level spatial logistic transportation capacity, which is doubled compared to the existing single-mode transportation system. The double-mode monorail transportation can be operated in a same three-dimensional space, in which the problems of low space utilization rate and less level in current single-mode monorail system will be solved, and the goal of improving the double-mode monorail level will be truly achieved. The burden of ground transportation will be obviously reduced.

[0102] The double-mode monorail system is proposed in this patent, in which the double-mode monorail system can be adopted on the bridge pier line and integrated construction. The two monorails operate independently without mutual interference, in which the space utilization can be improved. This patent will be further explained with embodiments.
