Abstract
According to the invention, a support (1) for a track-guided high-speed vehicle, particularly a magnetically levitated train, is mounted at intervals on pillars (9). Functional elements (7) for guiding the vehicle are arranged on the support's outer sides. The outer surfaces of the support (1) are provided in a streamlined form with regard to the vehicle by virtue of the fact that, when viewing the support (1) in a longitudinal direction, there are essentially no changes made to the cross-section of the support (1), and the shaping of the support (1) covers, to a large extent, the pillars (9) opposite the vehicle. In curved areas of the travel way, the support (1) is shorter and, if necessary, lower than in the straight areas of the travel way.
Claims17
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, especially a magnetically levitated vehicle, wherein the beam (1) is supported at spatial intervals on piers (9) and on the outside of said beam (1), functional elements (7) for the guidance of a vehicle are placed, therein characterized, in that the outer surface of the beam (1) in relation to a vehicle is designed to be airflow favorable, in that seen in the longitudinal direction of the beam (1), essentially, no cross-sectional alterations of the beam (1) are provided and the shape of the beam (1) predominately covers the piers (9) relative to a vehicle.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) possesses a lower flange (3) which covers or shields the piers (9) in an airflow favorable manner.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) possesses a load bearing console (12) which essentially covers or shields the piers (9).
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) has at least one opening (10) for inspection of the hollow space (5) of the beam (1).
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that within the hollow space (5) of the beam (1), are laid supply lines and/or communication lines which are dependent on and/or independent of the operation of a vehicle.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) allows for a clearance space (6) for the reception of the guide elements 7 which engage the functional elements of a vehicle.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that on the under flange (3), and/or on the load bearing console, support elements (8) for supporting the beam (1) are placed on the piers (9)
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) is made of concrete, especially from a precast concrete component.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the lower flange (3) is broader than the upper flange (2).
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that that the beam (1) possesses a bulkhead and/or a haunch.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) is made shorter in curve areas of the travel-way and if necessary, also lower than in the straight through areas of the travel-way.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1), in curved areas of the travel-way, forms a space curve, in that the beam (1) is supported to be rotated about its axis and a radius is formed by lengthening or shortening the cantilever arm,.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the carrier (1) forms a space curve, while the upper flange (2) of the beam (1) is designed to be rotated about its longitudinal axis and by lengthening and/or shortening of the cantilever arm a radius is constructed.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the beam (1) in curve areas of the travel-way forms a spatial curve, wherein fastening consoles of the functional elements (7) in the longitudinal run of the beam (1) are offset as to height and by means of the lengthening or the shortening of the fastening consoles a radius is formed.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the hollow space (5) of the beam (1) is open at the bottom, whereby the lower flange (3) is constructed in two parts.
A beam for a track guided high speed vehicle, in accord with one of the foregoing claims, therein characterized, in that the hollow space (5) of the beam (1) possesses bulkheads for the reinforcement of the beam (1).
