Abstract

See full text

This guide-rail track vehicle, which travels on a track, is provided with: a carbody disposed at the top of a vehicle; and a running device that supports the carbody from below, and has a guide frame to which at least a pair of guide wheels, which are guided by a guide rail disposed on the track, are attached. Moreover, the guide frame has: a pair of beam members that are capable of sliding in the width direction of the track, and to which the guide wheels are attached; a rotating part capable of rotating around a first axis in the direction of travel; and a transmission part that converts the rotation of the rotating part to motion in the width direction, and moves the guide wheels in a symmetrical fashion by synchronizing the pair of beam members. Thus, the guide-rail track vehicle has a running device that allows the distance between the guide wheels to be changed.
