Further, referring to fig. 19 and 23, in this embodiment, the bogie 800 may further include a brake beam 860 and brake shoes 840 corresponding to the brake discs 730 of the wheel set, where two ends of the brake beam 860 are slidably connected to the middle portions of the two side frames 810 through a slider 870; brake beam 860 is provided with a brake shoe 840 in the middle thereof, and brake beam 860 is operable to reciprocate in the direction of travel of bogie 800 to move the working surface of brake shoe 840 away from or into frictional contact with corresponding brake disc 730. Specifically, the middle of the side frame 810 may be provided with a sliding groove along the running direction of the bogie, and the slider 870 is disposed in the sliding groove of the side frame in a gap such that the brake beam 860 may slide along the running direction of the bogie 800.

To improve braking stability, the thickness of the brake beam 860 may be increased; to increase friction, the working surface of brake shoe 840 may be a standard circular arc surface that coincides with the outer circumferential surface of brake disk 730.

Bogie 800 can also include a frame, side frame 810 being part of the frame, and brake shoes 840 fixedly disposed on the frame in frictional contact with brake discs 730 of wheel set 700 to effect braking of the train.

The foundation brake unit includes the brake shoe 840 described above, and the foundation brake unit can implement the braking requirement by changing the installation position of the brake shoe 840 to match the position of the brake disc 730 on the axle box unit in a DAB unit integrated braking manner. The installation position of the shoe 840 corresponds to the installation position of the brake disc 730, and the structure can satisfy that the position of the shoe 840 does not move with the position of the wheel 720, so that the wide rail standard rail conversion of the wheel set 700 can be realized by changing the installation position of the wheel set 700, and thus the normal operation of the bogie 800 between the wide rail and the standard rail can be realized by changing different wheel set box units.

In addition, the guide frame of the side frame 810 is provided with a stop key structure, so that the wheel set can not only save the original performance requirement, but also have the anti-drop function. When the bogie 800 performs a wheel changing operation, the first wheel set is detached from the suspended bogie 800 under the action of the detaching unit 300 and the supporting unit 200, the bearing saddle 820 is at a falling risk after losing the lower support, and after the hanging rod 830 is additionally arranged, the falling risk of the bearing saddle 820 after the wheel set is detached can be eliminated, and meanwhile, the bearing saddle 820 can be temporarily fixed, so that the installation of the second wheel set is facilitated. Meanwhile, the blocking key structure on the side frame 810 is omitted, so that the quick wheel changing operation of the bogie 800 can be more convenient under the condition that the function of the bogie 800 is not affected. The bearing adapter 820, which is centered on the same line, forms an axle box suspension unit.

The bolster is designed according to the standard of wide-track operation, for example, the design of the bogie 800 with the track gauge of 1067mm can be met, or the requirement of 2036mm of center distance of shaft diameter can be met, and the center distance of each side bearing on the bolster can be 1520mm at the moment.
