Abstract

An operating and locking mechanism for turnouts of central rail-guided vehicles, where the mechanism at the entrance of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to a fixed part comprising having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to a moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever includes grooves located on the main plane of the rocking lever within which rollers which are at a higher level with respect to the rollers of the shafts can be moved and rolled, and where the mechanism at the exit of the turnout includes: a guide block fixed to the fixed part having two guide grooves, two shafts fixed to the moving panel, a moving rocking lever which pivots around a shaft attached to the fixed element and centered with respect to the guide block and perpendicular to the main plane thereof, where the rocking lever comprises grooves located on the main plane of the rocking lever within which rollers which are at a higher level Z with respect to the rollers of the shafts can be moved and rolled, where the rocking levers move in a synchronous manner and in the same direction by means of rods of the drive motor, generating a rotation of the moving panel around the pivoting point such that the shafts simultaneously reach their locking positions through either the direct route or the diverted route.

Abstract

The invention relates to an actuation and locking mechanism for rail crossings intended for vehicles guided by a central rail, comprising: a slide plate (2a) secured to a stationary part (2) of the crossing forming a central channel along the x axis; a guide block (10) secured to the slide plate (2a) and comprising four guide grooves (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) in the form of circular sectors located in the main plane of the guide block (10), the geometrical centre of which coincides with a theoretical pivot point (17) of a movable panel (6) of the crossing, said slide plate (2a) and guide block (10) forming a groove (2f) having a rectangular cross-section and an axis parallel to the direction of the x axis; four shafts (12a, 12b, 13a, 13b) secured to the movable panel (6) in a manner symmetrical with a guide rail (7) of the movable panel (6) and perpendicular to the main plane of the movable panel (6), said shafts comprising rollers (12e, 12f, 13e, 13f) that can move and roll inside the guide grooves (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d); and a cam plate (14) that slides longitudinally inside the groove (2f) formed by the slide plate (2a) and the guide block (10).
