Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A bogie (16) for a guide rail system vehicle, wherein the bogie (16) is configured so that a load on a guide wheel is reduced and the bogie has increased durability obtained by increasing the strength of a bogie structure including a guide frame and achieves stable travel performance not affected by surface irregularity of a guide rail. A bogie (16) for a guide rail system vehicle, wherein the bogie is guided by guide wheels (42) in contact with and rolling on a guide rail (10) mounted along a travel path (T) and wherein rubber tires (28) are steered by a steering mechanism (46) interlocked with the guide wheels. The bogie (16) is provided with a guide frame (36) having a structure comprising two lateral beam members (38) mounted to the front and rear of a bogie structure, to opposite ends of which the guide wheels (42) are rollably mounted. The structure also comprises joint members (40) mounted between the two lateral beam members (38). The guide frame is pivotably supported by a circular or circular arc-shaped bearing (34) horizontally supported on non-pivotable portions (22, 23) of the bogie structure, the steering mechanism (46) is connected via a connecting rod (54) to the guide frame (36), and the rubber tires (28) are steered with the steering mechanism (46) operatively associated with movement of the guide frame (36).
