The wide gauge part 62 consists of a wide gauge part 62, a narrow gauge part 63 following it, and a shunt part 66.
At the entrance, the conversion levers 27 and 2 of the rope car 1 are installed.
The narrow gauge portion 63 has a return guide 65 that engages with the roller 54 of the return lever 55 of the catching roller protrusion mechanism 4 of the rope car 1 when viewed from above. The narrow gauge part 63 is provided at an angle, and the shunt part 66 of the narrow gauge part 63 is laid lower than other parts. In order to lay it low, the auxiliary rail 61 is originally low in height and is raised, but this is done by not raising it in this part.

Next, the operation of the vehicle transport device according to the first embodiment having the above configuration will be explained. As shown in FIG. 9, the rope car 1 is driven to run by connecting a driving rope D, which is looped around a driving wheel D1, to front and rear connecting brackets 13, 13.

First, in FIG. 4, in the rope car 1, the traveling rollers 2 protrude and are on the main rail A, and the capturing rollers 3 protrude and capture the wheel flange portions of the vehicle from both front and rear sides. Therefore, when the rope car 1 enters the shunting device 6 shown in FIG.
4 and is rotated, the restraining roller 24 is reversed and the traveling roller 2 is released. Next, narrow gauge section 6
3, the guide groove 23 of the running roller 2 is guided by the auxiliary rail E, and the running roller 2 is pulled inward and leaves the main rail A. Further progressing, the roller 54 of the return lever 55 engages with and is guided by the return guide 55, the swinging member 43 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. Finally, as shown in FIG. 6, the end portion 51 is locked to the engaging end 50, and at the same time the detection lever 48 is projected onto the movement trajectory of the wheel. In this state, the swinging member 43 remains locked even after passing the return guide 65. However, if it remains as it is, the detection lever 48
The vehicle cannot pass over the rope car 1 because the wheels are detected. However, rope car 1
When it reaches the shelter part 66 of the narrow gauge part 63, the rope car 1 as a whole descends, so the detection lever 48 moves out of the vehicle's movement trajectory, and at the same time it becomes sufficiently lower than the vehicle limit, so that the vehicle can pass over the rope car 1. The rope car 1 becomes in a standby state. During this time, the wheels are released.

When the rope car 1 moves in the opposite direction from the standby state to exit the shunting device 6, the traveling roller 2 protrudes from the wide gauge portion 62 without engaging the return guide 65, and protrudes after the conversion lever 27 engages with the conversion protrusion 64. bound by the state. At this time, if the vehicle is stopped on the narrow gauge section 63, the detection lever 48 comes into contact with the wheel,
When the lock pin 52 is pulled, the end 5 of the swinging member 43
1 is released, it is rotated clockwise by the biasing spring 45, and the reciprocating plate 42 is also moved so that the capturing rollers 3, 3 protrude and capture the wheel therebetween. At this time, the support member 47 of the detection lever 48 is pulled inward through the elongated hole 53, so that the detection lever 48 is reversed inward and completely removed from the movement trajectory of the wheel. In addition, if it is only necessary to capture the wheels, as shown in FIG. 10, the return guide 65 is not provided, and a shunting device 6a consisting of conversion protrusions 64, 64, a wide gauge part 62 and a narrow gauge part 63 is sufficient. .

Next, in accordance with the loading operation, Figures 11 and 12 are shown.
To explain the operation with reference to a diagram, a bulk hopper A1 is provided in the middle of the main rail A, and bulk is loaded onto a train of freight cars passing under the bulk hopper A1. The train of freight cars is sequentially conveyed from the left side of hopper A1 to the right side in FIG. 12. A shelter device 6a without a return guide 65 is provided at point A2, and a shelter device 6a is provided at point A2.
A shunting device 6 equipped with a return guide 65 is provided.

First, the leading vehicle of the freight train A4 is stopped at a fixed point on the narrow gauge section 63 of the shunting device 6a at point A2. next,
Move the rope car 1 from the right side to the shelter device 6a.
When the vehicle enters the center, the wheels of the leading vehicle are captured in the same manner as described above. Therefore, when the rope car 1 is moved in the opposite direction, the train of freight cars A4 can be moved below the hopper A1, so that each freight car is loaded with bulk. When the rope car 1 enters the shunting device 6 at point A3 after the entire freight car A4 has passed under the hopper A1, the wheels are released, and the freight car train A4 is carried away by a yard-powered vehicle, etc., and one unit of the freight train is separated. loading is completed.

13 to 15 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the capturing rollers 3, 3... are provided offset to one side of the vehicle body 11 with respect to the traveling rollers 2, 2... .

That is, the running roller 2 is formed with a tread groove 22 and a guide groove 23, and the restraining rollers 24 are connected back and forth so as to interlock with each other. A groove 30 is formed which engages a flange 33 of.

The catching roller protruding mechanism 4a is provided only on the end catching roller 3, and as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. Being restrained. The detection lever 48 is attached to the lock pin 57.
On the other hand, a reversing member 59 is connected to the intermediate portion of the detection lever 48 and engages with a pushing member 58 that is pushed by a spring 56 when the capturing roller 3 is protruded. A return roller 54 that engages with a return guide 65 of the shunting device 6 is provided to protrude downward.

Load rollers 7, 7, . . . are provided coaxially on the outside of the capture roller 3, and when the capture roller 3 protrudes, the load roller 7 is placed on the tread surface of the main rail A, and the capture roller 3 captures the flange of the wheel. It is set to the position where it will be.

In this embodiment as well, similar to the first embodiment, the traveling rollers 2 or the catching rollers 3 can be moved forward and backward by the shunting devices 6 and 6a. Since it is directly transmitted to the rail A, the load on the traveling rollers 2 is significantly reduced. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when loading freight train A4, a shunting device 6 is installed at point A3, and the rope car 1 is directed from point A3 to point A2 with the side where the catching roller 3 is installed first. By doing this, when capturing the first vehicle of a train of freight cars that is stopped on the left side of hopper A1, point A
2 has the advantage of eliminating the need for a shunting device.

16 and 17 show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a pair of catching rollers 3, 3 are provided outside the running roller 2 of the rope car 1 in the front and back direction, and a load roller whose axis is offset. 7, 7 are provided, but no capturing roller protruding mechanism is provided.

That is, the support shaft 71 of the capture roller 3 and the load roller 7 is swingably attached to the vehicle body 11 via a swing shaft 72, and a spring 73 is attached to the support shaft 71 side between the support shaft 71 and the vehicle body 11. The catching roller 3 and the load roller 7 are supported by the vehicle body together with a casing 73 so as to be movable laterally, and a guide roller 74 that engages with a reciprocating guide provided in the shunting device is attached to the support shaft 71. It is provided.

According to this embodiment, the load roller 7 is provided eccentrically on the catching roller 3 and is suspended by the spring 73. Therefore, when these rollers are interposed between the tread of the wheel and the tread of the main rail A, the catching roller 7 can contact the treads of the wheels, and the load rollers 7 can appropriately contact the treads of the main rail A, so by transmitting the load from tread to tread, transportation can be carried out with a larger load than in the case of flanges and treads. can. The shunting device is for shunting when a vehicle passes,
The attitude of catching the wheels is not to pinch them from both sides,
You will be able to push from one side. That is, as shown in Fig. 17, the shunting device is installed at a point A5 near the end of the train of freight cars A4, and the shunting device is installed at a point A5 near the end of the train of freight cars A4, and after the train of freight cars A4 advancing from the left has passed, it moves the wheels of the last vehicle. The cargo is loaded by being pushed and passed under the hopper A1.

According to the vehicle transport device according to the present invention, the main rail is a rope car that can run in the same way as the vehicle, and the shunting device that requires only a short auxiliary rail allows the vehicle to be evacuated without interfering with the vehicle travel or used for loading work. This minimizes equipment costs and is efficient. Furthermore, even if there is a branch point A6 or a crossroads A7 as shown in Fig. 18, it is possible to make a rope car by forming a groove A8 in the crossover wire and providing a rope groove A9 in the crossroads A7 to allow the rope to pass through. can be passed without any problem.
