TRACK TURNOUT DEVICE FOR SUPERCONDUCTIVELY AND MANGETICALLY FLOATING VEHICLE

摘要

PURPOSE:To smoothly drive a vehicle linearly and turnout the vehicle by arranging many truck turnouts arranged with guide wheel rolling guide rails provided with recesses on the side wall shiftably between linear state and folded state along a predetermined circular-arc. CONSTITUTION:Short truck turnouts 13A-13D and 14A-14D are arranged shiftably between the linear state for connecting between the rails 5A and 5B of main line and the folded state along the circular-arc of the prescribed curvature for connecting between the rails 5A and 5C of the main line. A floating coil 28 is buried in the upper surface of the bottom wall, and a contacting surface 29, on which wheels 10 roll is formed, a propulsion guide coil 24 is buried in the side wall 30, a recess 31 is formed partly in the inner surface side, and guide rails 25 for rolling the guide wheels contacted with both side guide wheels 12 are contained in the recess 31.
