摘要:
A system (10, 99) includes a vehicle (11, 111) and a car (1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 14, 16, 18, 26, 27, 28). The vehicle (11, 111) is configured to move, along a route (33) including at least a station (22, 24, 29, 30), without stopping at the station (22, 24, 29, 30). The car (1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 14, 16, 18, 26, 27, 28) is configured to (i) load an object from the station (22, 24, 29, 30) and move for integrating with the vehicle (11, 111), or (ii) detach from the vehicle (11, 111) and stop at the station (22, 24, 29, 30) for unloading the object.

The objective of this invention is to provide a solution that will enable an autonomous vehicle module and module combination formation-deformation and its transportation in various modes, more particularly, it relates to a system with means and methods that control such operation in one of the defined moving transportation mode, with central computer controlled network, wired and wireless, to implement a scheduled multi-stop nonstop operation for passengers and cargo delivery at a controlled velocity through a head-vehicle-module (HVM) and end-vehicle-module (EVM) rotating in turn to accelerate the HVM from each stop to couple with the moving catching-on master-vehicle-module (MVM) at its speed in the front of it, and decelerate the EVM to a stop at each passing-by stop from the end of the MVM, to load and upload passengers and cargo.

An electrical battery exchanging system for reuse application is disclosed. The system includes: a number of rechargeable battery packs, a battery condition detecting module, a user ID checking module, a power source, a charging controlling module. Since the system can monitor conditions of rechargeable battery cells of the rechargeable battery packs and uses user ID for operating control purpose, it has benefits of conveniently exchanging low-power battery with fully charged one, easily sorting out end-of-life batteries and getting them for recycle or reuse, simply charging service fee and stably operating under a business model.

This invention is for improved vehicles for my Under-way Vehicle transfer where railway depot cars run on track flush in runways for buses or other highway vehicles to drive parallelly into bottom and side openings, berths, in the cars while moving at train speed along the runway and be lifted and lowered in their berths for transfer of passengers to and from the train nonstop. The buses have an alignment arm at each front (both ends are front) for the driver to extend into the opening and apply pressure on the front face of the berth on the train so the bus driver can detect steady alignment by reading a pressure gauge before turning to enter the opening. The arm is pushed into the bus as the bus reaches alignment under the berth and turns the bus wheels parallel with the train if the driver has not. The bus floor is at or near the height of the depot car floor when set on end ledges in the berth by retracting the bus wheels or lowering end brackets to lift the bus for quick exchange of passengers with the train. The depot cars that have an offset center sill under a side aisle past the berth have an upper branch over the berth with a header at each end substantially in one plane to prevent twisting torque from strong buffer force on the depot cars.

An unloading station and method for unloading bulk material from a moving railcar with a bottom discharge while the railcar is moving includes a track with a pair of rails. A synchronized parallel conveyor is oriented parallel with the pair of rails and forms a movable platform capable of receiving the bulk material in a pile extending into the railcar and drawing the pile along in synchronization with the railcar as the railcar moves. A hopper is disposed below a break in or end of the parallel conveyor to receive the bulk material. A lateral conveyor disposed under the hopper to convey the bulk material away from the hopper.

This invention is a guided transport vehicle with berth with open side and bottom for a roadway vehicle to be driven along side on a station driveway and obliquely steered into the berth and lifted for transport on the transport vehicle and lowered to another station driveway and obliquely steered out from the berth. The guided vehicle can be a railway car in a train on a track or guideway flush with station driveways for the transfer vehicle. The transfer vehicle can be a bus, truck, motor home, or platform for holding containers or vehicles. This transfer vehicle has all wheel parallel steering and can shift to front wheel steering and can have either end the front. End rollers guide the transfer vehicle parallelly in and out of the berth and end lifts raise the vehicle for travel on the train above the track. The vehicle is controlled to accelerate to train speed and aligned before all wheels are turned together at an oblique angle to enter the berth.

One of the biggest problems of efficiency in trains is the time wasted for boarding and letting off passengers at the stations. Since trains carry a very heavy mass, typically it can take a few minutes for the train to decelerate and come to a full stop and a few minutes to wait till all the passengers who want to get off or board the train finish boarding or exiting, and then again a few minutes to finish accelerating, and thus each stop at a station can typically slow down a train by 5-15 minutes. This is especially noticeable in fast trains, such as for example trains that go at 150 Mph or more, so that the same trip with the same type of train can take for example 3.5 hours when no or almost no stops are made on the way and 7.5 hours if the train stops at every station. The present invention solves the above problem by enabling passengers to board the train or to get off at each desired station without needing the train to stop or even slow down, based on using an intermediary device of one or more coaches that are used for getting on or off the train while the train is traveling preferably at full speed. The invention solves various problems involved in implementing such a solution.

Cabs, such as passenger and freight cabs, are transferred from one horizontal transport bogie that is moving along a track to another horizontal transport bogie moving at the same speed on an adjacent track. The cab may be transferred from one train or shuttle of moving bogies to another train of moving bogies, or may be transferred from a train of moving bogies to an auxiliary shuttle or bogie on a siding so as to permit the cab to be brought to a stop, either to allow transfer of passengers, to be moved into the car frame of an adjacent elevator for vertical transport within the building, or to simply await the coming of another train, traveling in either the same or in opposite direction, to which the cab may then be transferred.

This rotary loader and side coupling system for transfer of semitrailers or containers has a vertical pivot post with one or more load handling lobes or turntables each mounted on a horizontal flat lobe on an end of a frame or arm which is hinged to a slip collar on the post and supported and propelled on wheels on a concentric cam track to revolve thereabout and lift and lower on slopes in the cam track to transfer a load on the lobe or turntable. The turntable is fronted with a bumper or face sloped or rounded or disc wheel to engage between pedestals or locators or into openings on a vehicle under the load. The turntable has two depending fingers spaced on opposite sides of the table's pivot for engaging the side of a vehicle or curb to turn the table to align with the vehicle or driveway for transfer. The turntable for trailers has pedestals spaced narrow at the front for reaching under the body rails between the wheels and landing gear and spaced wide along the inner side to support the side of the trailer facing the loader for stability for transferring a semi-trailer between a railway car and a station platform car, driveway or tractor. The lobe or turntable can serve as a coupler or preferably the loader has a coupling disc wheel supported under the lobe at constant coupling height while the turntable and/or lobe are lifted or lowered. Vehicles for coupling with the loader preferably have depressed center platforms or sills between pedestals or low sides and rollers for the coupling disc and/or lobe with or without turntable to enter between. A depressed-center semitrailer is provided to couple with this loader to handle containers. A two-lobed loader is designed especially to handle railway car body sized containers.
