Method for producing different variants of rails from an assembly set, and system having a vehicle which is movable on a rail component
In a method for producing different rail variants from an assembly set, and system having a vehicle which is movable on a rail part, the assembly set includes a rail profile part and two different reactive components, and the rail profile part includes an interface at which one of the different reactive components is optionally able to be connected.
Fastening device for a conductor line and conductor line system
A fastening device for fastening a conductor line to at least one mounting element. The fastening device has at least one holding element connectable to the conductor line. The holding element fastens the conductor line to the mounting element such that movement perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the conductor line is not possible. A conductor line system has a conductor line, which is fastened by a first fastening device to a first mounting element and by a second fastening device spaced apart therefrom to a second mounting element. The first fastening device is connected to the conductor line and to the first mounting element in such a way that movement in the longitudinal direction is not possible. The second fastening device is connected to the conductor line and/or to the mounting line in such a way that movement in the longitudinal direction is possible.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING ELEVATED POWER RAILS
A modular structure supports elevated rail segments for delivering electrical power to a moving work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site. Opposite ends of a roadside barrier contain complementary tubular couplers arranged vertically. A lower end of a dielectric post positioned in one of the tubular couplers has opposing dielectric plates at an upper end. A top edge of each plate has a creepage concavity between a pair of rail recesses. Another dielectric post of similar configuration is positioned in the other of the tubular couplers. Holes within the couplers and the posts ensure alignment of respective rail recesses in which conductive rails are placed. Dielectric inserts frictionally lock the rails into the rail recesses.
RELOCATABLE BASE FOR ELEVATED POWER RAILS AND METHOD OF DEPLOYMENT
A modular structure supports elevated rail segments for delivering electrical power to a moving work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site. Opposite ends of a roadside barrier contain complementary tubular couplers arranged vertically, one having a first diameter supported by an arm and the other having a larger second diameter and a vertical slot. Couplers on adjacent barriers can be mated together concentrically along a central axis. The mated couplers help restrict longitudinal displacement, lateral displacement, slope change, and lateral rotation between adjacent barriers during placement. One barrier may be used as a temporary alignment structure to position barriers spaced altematingly along a haul route for the work machine.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR JOINING POWER RAIL SEGMENTS
A modular structure supports elevated rail segments for delivering electrical power to a moving work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site. End portions of rail segments having narrower widths than body portions of the rail segments are joined within a split fishplate. Laterally opposing faces within the narrowed end portions form a longitudinal overlap, and connectors underneath the rail segments pull the split fishplate together against the end portions. In arrangements with parallel rails around a curvature, the rail segments are adjusted by sliding so that the longitudinal overlap is larger for rails on an inside of the curvature compared with rails on an outside of the curvature.
Rigid T-rail conductor system
The rigid T-rail conductor system is configured to support a contact wire in an overhead railway electrification system. The rigid T-rail includes a first rail configured to be disposed in an overhead position of the railway electrification system. The rigid rail includes a keeper disposed on a side of the first rail, the keeper configured to be movable. When the keeper is in the first position, the keeper holds and affixes the wire on the first rail. When the keeper is in the second position, the keeper allows the wire to be installed or to be removed from the rail.
Guide track for track-based vehicle, and traffic system
A guide track includes a guide rail having a guide groove opened upward in which guide wheels are inserted, and formed with guide surfaces for causing each of the guide wheels to roll at both sides of a traveling course in a width direction; conductor rails that are placed at both sides of an outside of the traveling course in the width direction with respect to the guide groove to perform contact electricity supply by pressing a power collection shoe of a power collector of a track-based vehicle; a first insulator that supports the conductor rails with respect to the guide rail; and insulation plates that are provided at both sides of the conductor rail in the width direction, and are provided in parallel to the conductor rail and in parallel to a pressing direction of the power collection shoe.
PROTECTION BOARD MOUNTING BRACKET
A cover assembly includes a support bracket from which a cover board is selectively suspended. The support bracket is itself mounted to a third rail or contact rail by a clip which cooperates with the bracket. The cover board is held in place on the bracket by an upper flange which has a tapered or V-shaped front wall, as well as a tapered bottom wall. A flag holder, which can be selectively attached to the bracket, includes a first section with an engaging member that cooperates with an engaging member located on the support bracket, a center section including a through bore for holding a flagstaff of a safety flag and a second end section. The second end section is adapted to attach the flag holder to a different type of cover board support bracket.
LINE SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT
A line supply arrangement for electrically powered motor vehicles includes an electric line on a support arm above the motor vehicle. A trolley on the support arm positions the electric line such that a free end thereof hangs down from the trolley for connection to the motor vehicle and charging of an energy store. The trolley is movable relative to the support arm in horizontal direction or the support arm is movable and the trolley relative to the support arm in horizontal direction. Arranged on the trolley is a line reel to lower the free end of the electric line to the motor vehicle, and a hose reel is fixed on the support arm for supply and discharge of cooling liquid to and from the electric line. The trolley is movable relative to the hose reel. A heat exchanger is arranged distal to the trolley for cooling the cooling liquid.
Third rail power insulating system
A third rail power insulating system, which has a cover board assembly having a support bracket assembly, cover board assembly retaining clips, a side cover board, and a top cover board. The support bracket assembly has a top wall, at least two pairs of top bracket holes with top threads, top bolt supports, a lateral wall, at least three pairs of lateral bracket holes with lateral threads, lateral bolt supports, internal walls, internal reinforcement walls, and a central wall. The side cover board has a plate having a plate top edge and a plate bottom edge, first and second lateral holes, and first and second lateral bolts. The top cover board has an elongated plate, a bottom face having hexagonal cells, first and second top holes, first and second top bolts, and an elongated lip.
