Definitions
- the present addition relates to a guided vehicle with steerable axles according to the main patent, that is to say in which a radial guidance of the axles is produced.
- This vehicle is constituted by a body carried by two axles each provided with two wheels and comprising, at the level of each axle, a cross member which pivots about an axis relative to the body and which carries the axle and a bar of hitch articulated around a point on the body and in contact with another point with the cross member of which it controls the angle of rotation, the distance a between said axes of rotation of the two cross members of a vehicle, the distance n between the hinge point of a drawbar and the axis of rotation of the corresponding cross member, the distance b between this axis of rotation and the point of contact of this drawbar and the cross member and the distance d between the end of the drawbar and its articulation point substantially verifying the following relationship:
- suspension elements are interposed between each axle and the crosspiece which carries it.
- railway vehicles can be subjected to a rolling movement which is a small amplitude oscillation around a central longitudinal axis parallel to the track, this rolling movement can be maintained by the imperfections of the track on some of its sections.
- a rolling movement causes a displacement of the point of attachment of the drawbar on the body and this displacement results in a loss of the radiality of the axle in question.
- Another factor which risks also creating a loss of radiality is the sliding of at least one wheel on the rail when one is in a curve for example, owing to the fact that the two wheels are integral with the axle.
- the invention does not allow radial guiding of the end axles of a train of vehicles since the guiding of an axle is carried out in conjunction with the guiding of the axle neighboring the next vehicle.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to allow radial guidance of the axles in all circumstances as well as radial guidance of the end axles.
- the point of attachment of the drawbar to the body is substantially arranged on the roll axis of the vehicle. Thanks to this arrangement, the rolling movement no longer causes the attachment point of the drawbar to move and the radiality of the guide is retained.
- the attachment points of the suspension elements interposed between each axle and the cross member which carries it are arranged at a level high enough for the roll axis to pass substantially through the point of hitch bar attachment.
- each driving axle has independent wheels as well as a device for limiting the slip between the two wheels.
- This slip can for example be limited to 5%.
- This latter arrangement makes it possible to eliminate the forces due to the sliding of the wheels on the rails for example in a curve and consequently to maintain the radial guidance of the axles.
- each axle has an electronic control device for the speeds of each of the wheels and for action on the braking members to restore the equality of the resistant torques on each wheel.
- the carrying axles have idle wheels which may include an electronic speed control device to obtain an anti-braking device during braking.
- the aforementioned distances a, d, n so substantially verify the salient relation:
- an additional guide axle is added to each end axle on the outside and the drawbar of said end axle is fixed to said guide axle perpendicular to the middle of the latter.
- Figure 1 schematically illustrates the radial guide according to the main patent.
- the distance between the articulation point 8 of the drawbar 4 and the axis of rotation 12 of the axle 2 is designated by n;
- d denotes the length of the drawbar of each vehicle;
- a designates the distance separating the two axes of rotation 12 of the two axles of the same vehicle and
- b designates the distance between the axis of rotation of the axle 12 and the contact point 11 of the drawbar 4 and the crossing.
- these parameters substantially verify the relationship: which makes it possible to ensure with very good approximation the radial guidance of the axles 2.
- Figure 2 illustrates the roll phenomenon. Because the body and the axles are not rigidly connected but by means of suspension elements 22, the body can perform rotational movements around a central longitudinal axis 23 called the roll axis; the angle of inclination of the body with respect to the axle 2 is called the roll angle ( ⁇ ).
- a point M of the central longitudinal plane of the vehicle undergoes a horizontal displacement to come as far as possible in the position M ', this displacement being approximately equal to the product of the distance from the point M to the rolling axis 23 by the angle expressed in radian.
- the point of attachment 8 of the drawbar on the body 1 therefore undergoes a horizontal displacement and it follows that the drawbar moves angularly in the horizontal plane, which results in the loss of the radial position of the axle 2 considered.
- This angle of movement of the drawbar causes a rotation of the axle and this rotation can maintain the movement of the roll, the body oscillating. around its normal position.
- this imbalance in the radiality of the axles of a vehicle subjected to a rolling movement is avoided by the fact that the point of attachment 8 of the drawbar 4 on the head 1 is substantially arranged on the roll axis of the vehicle. In this way, during rolling movements, the attachment point remains stationary and the axle remains in the radial position.
- This alignment of the point of attachment of the drawbar on the roll axis can be obtained by bringing said point of attachment to the level of the roll axis by modifying the structure of the hitch.
- Another solution is to move the roll axis, that is to say to arrange the attachment points of the suspension elements 22 at a level such that the roll axis 23 passes substantially through the attachment point of the drawbar on the body.
- FIG. 3 schematically represents two curved rails on which an axle 2 runs which then has an inner wheel 24 and an outer wheel 25.
- the axle 2 is a conventional railway axle, that is to say that the two wheels 24 to 25 are integral with the axle 2, which entralne that they always rotate at the same speed.
- R ' E being the track gauge
- R the radius of the curve measured on the inner rail.
- this slip can reach a value of 5%, which corresponds to a track gauge of 1.5 meters and a radius curvature equal to 30 meters.
- each driving axle has independent wheels in rotation and it is provided with a device making it possible to limit the slip between the two wheels.
- a device making it possible to limit the slip between the two wheels. This can be achieved as shown in Figure 4 where the axle consists of two half-axles 27 and 28 which are connected to a differential device 29 whose possibility of sliding is limited, for example to 5%.
- each non-driving axle is constituted by an axle 31 supporting idler wheels 32 and 33 each provided with a braking device 34 respectively 35; a schematic electronic device 36 controls the speed of rotation of each of the wheels 32 and 33 and acts on the braking device 34 and 35 to restore the equality of the resulting torques on each wheel, by braking the runaway wheel in the case of '' a drive axle and by brake release of the two wheels in the case of a load-bearing axle (anti-jamming device).
- the parameter n that is to say the distance separating the axis of articulation of the axle from the axis of articulation of the drawbar is determined according to the equation next : in other terms, the parameters a, n and d are linked by the previous equation.
- the invention makes it possible to obtain radial guidance of all the axles of a railway train independently of the roll movements and of the crossing of the curves by said train.
- the invention is particularly advantageous in the field of railway vehicles traveling on tracks having curves with a small radius, which is the case in particular for urban metros.
Abstract
Description
La présente addition concerne un véhicule guidé à essieux orientables selon le brevet principal c'est-à-dire dans lequel on réalise un guidage radial des essieux.The present addition relates to a guided vehicle with steerable axles according to the main patent, that is to say in which a radial guidance of the axles is produced.
Ce véhicule est constitué par une caisse portée par deux essieux munis chacun de deux roues et comportant, au niveau de chaque essieu, une traverse qui pivote autour d'un axe par rapport à la caisse et qui porte l'essieu et une barre d'attelage articulée autour d'un point de la caisse et en contact avec un autre point avec la traverse dont elle commande l'angle de rotation, la distance a entre lesdits axes de rotation des deux traverses d'un véhicule, la distance n entre le point d'articulation d'une barre d'attelage et l'axe de rotation de la traverse correspondante, la distance b entre cet axe de rotation et le point de contact de cette barre d'attelage et de la traverse et la distance d entre l'extrémité de la barre d'attelage et son point d'articulation vérifiant sensiblement la relation suivante :
Cette relation permet d'obtenir avec une très bonne approximation que la radialité de chaque essieu soit parfaite, c'est-à-dire que l'angle de rotation de chaque essieu soit égal à la moitié de l'angle défini par les deux rayons partant du centre de courbure des rails et passant par les centres de rotation des deux essieux d'un même véhicule.This relation makes it possible to obtain with a very good approximation that the radiality of each axle is perfect, that is to say that the angle of rotation of each axle is equal to half the angle defined by the two radii starting from the center of curvature of the rails and passing through the centers of rotation of the two axles of the same vehicle.
Avantageusement, des éléments de suspension sont interposés entre chaque essieu et la traverse qui le porte.Advantageously, suspension elements are interposed between each axle and the crosspiece which carries it.
Les véhicules ferroviaires peuvent être soumis à un mouvement de roulis qui est une oscillation de faible amplitude autour d'un axe longitudinal central parallèle à la voie, ce mouvement de roulis peut être entretenu par les imperfections de la voie sur cetaine de ses sections. Un tel mouvement de roulis entraîne un déplacement du point d'attache de la barre d'attelage sur la caisse et ce déplacement entraîne une perte de la radialité de l'essieu considéré.Railway vehicles can be subjected to a rolling movement which is a small amplitude oscillation around a central longitudinal axis parallel to the track, this rolling movement can be maintained by the imperfections of the track on some of its sections. Such a rolling movement causes a displacement of the point of attachment of the drawbar on the body and this displacement results in a loss of the radiality of the axle in question.
Un autre facteur qui risque de créer également une perte de radialité est le glissement d'au moins une roue sur le rail lorsque l'on est en courbe par exemple, du fait que les deux roues sont solidaires de l'essieu.Another factor which risks also creating a loss of radiality is the sliding of at least one wheel on the rail when one is in a curve for example, owing to the fact that the two wheels are integral with the axle.
Enfin, l'invention ne permet pas de réaliser le guidage radial des essieux extrêmes d'une rame de véhicules puisque le guidage d'un essieu est réalisé conjointement avec le guidage de l'essieu voisin du véhicule suivant.Finally, the invention does not allow radial guiding of the end axles of a train of vehicles since the guiding of an axle is carried out in conjunction with the guiding of the axle neighboring the next vehicle.
La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients et de permettre un guidage radial des essieux en toute circonstance ainsi que le guidage radial des essieux extrêmes.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to allow radial guidance of the axles in all circumstances as well as radial guidance of the end axles.
Conformément à la présente invention, le point d'attache de la barre d'attelage sur la caisse est sensiblement disposé sur l'axe de roulis du véhicule. Grâce à cette disposition, le mouvement de roulis n'entraine plus de déplacement du point d'attache de la barre d'attelage et la radialité du guidage est conservée.According to the present invention, the point of attachment of the drawbar to the body is substantially arranged on the roll axis of the vehicle. Thanks to this arrangement, the rolling movement no longer causes the attachment point of the drawbar to move and the radiality of the guide is retained.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les points d'accrochage des éléments de suspension interposés entre chaque essieu et la traverse qui le porte sont disposés à un niveau suffisamment élevé pour que l'axe de roulis passe sensiblement par le point d'attache de la barre d'attelage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the attachment points of the suspension elements interposed between each axle and the cross member which carries it are arranged at a level high enough for the roll axis to pass substantially through the point of hitch bar attachment.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque essieu moteur comporte des roues indépendantes ainsi qu'un dispositif de limitation du glissement entre les deux roues. Ce glissement peut par exemple être limité à 5%.According to another characteristic of the invention, each driving axle has independent wheels as well as a device for limiting the slip between the two wheels. This slip can for example be limited to 5%.
Cette dernière disposition permet de supprimer les efforts dûs au glissement des roues sur les rails par exemple dans une courbe et par suite de maintenir le guidage radial des essieux.This latter arrangement makes it possible to eliminate the forces due to the sliding of the wheels on the rails for example in a curve and consequently to maintain the radial guidance of the axles.
Selon un mode de réalisation,ceci est obtenu au moyens d'un dispositif différentiel à glissement limité disposé entre les deux roues. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, chaque essieu vomporte un dispositif de oontrôle électronique des vitesses de chacune des roues et d'action sur les organes de freinage pour rétablir l'égalité des couples résistants sur chaque roue.According to one embodiment, this is obtained at means of a limited slip differential device disposed between the two wheels. In another embodiment, each axle has an electronic control device for the speeds of each of the wheels and for action on the braking members to restore the equality of the resistant torques on each wheel.
Les essieux porteurs ont des roues folles qui peuvent comporter un dispositif électronique de contrôle des vitesses pour obtenir un dispositif d'anti-enrayage lors du freinage.The carrying axles have idle wheels which may include an electronic speed control device to obtain an anti-braking device during braking.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les distances a,d,n précitées vérifient si sensiblement la relation saivante :
De plus, on adjoint à chaque essieu d'extrémité un essieu supplémentaire de guidage à l'extérieur et la barre d'attelage dudit essieu d'extrémité est fixée sur ledit essieu de guidage perpendiculairement au milieu de ce dernier.In addition, an additional guide axle is added to each end axle on the outside and the drawbar of said end axle is fixed to said guide axle perpendicular to the middle of the latter.
De cette manière on assure un guidage radial des essieux d'extrémité d'une rame ferroviaire.In this way, radial guidance of the end axles of a railway train is ensured.

La figure 1 illustre de manière schématique le guidage radial selon le brevet principal. On a représenté dans une courbe schématisée par le rayon moyen 21 de cette courbe deux véhicules guidés à essieux orientables comportant chacun deux essieux 2 et reliés entre eux par deux barres d'attelage 4. La distance entre le point d'articulation 8 de la barre d'attelage 4 et l'axe de rotation 12 de l'essieu 2 est désigné par n; d désigne la longueur de la barre d'attelage de chaque véhicule; a désigne la distance séparant les deux axes de rotation 12 des deux essieux d'un même véhicule et b désigne la distance entre l'axe de rotation de l'essieu 12 et le point de contact 11 de la barre d'attelage 4 et de la traverse. Conformément au brevet principal, ces paramètres vérifient sensiblement la relation :
La figure 2 illustre le phénomène de roulis. Du fait que la caisse et les essieux ne sont pas reliés de manière rigide mais par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de suspension 22, la caisse peut effectuer des mouvements de rotation autour d'un axe longitudinal central 23 appelé axe de roulis; l'angle d'inclinaison de la caisse par rapport à l'essieu 2 est appelé angle de roulis(θ).Figure 2 illustrates the roll phenomenon. Because the body and the axles are not rigidly connected but by means of
Lors du mouvement de roulis, un point M du plan longitudinal central du véhicule subit un déplacement horizontal pour venir au maximum dans la position M', ce déplacement étant approximativement égal au produit de la distance du point M à l'axe de roulis 23 par l'angle exprimé en radian. Dans le cas d'un guidage radial conforme au brevet principal, le point d'attache 8 de la barre d'attelage sur la caisse 1 subit donc un déplacement horizontal et il s'ensuit que la barre d'attelage se déplace angulairement dans le plan horizontal, ce qui entraîne la perte de la position radiale de l'essieu 2 considéré. Cette angle de déplacement de la barre d'attelage provoque une rotation de l'essieu et cette rotation peut entretenir le mouvement dε roulis, la caisse oscillant autour de sa position normale.During the rolling movement, a point M of the central longitudinal plane of the vehicle undergoes a horizontal displacement to come as far as possible in the position M ', this displacement being approximately equal to the product of the distance from the point M to the
Conformément à l'invention, ce dérèglement de la radialité des essieux d'un véhicule soumis à un mouvement de roulis est évité par le fait que le point d'attache 8 de la barre d'attelage 4 sur la tête 1 est sensiblement disposé sur l'axe de roulis du véhicule. De cette manière, lors des mouvements de roulis, le point d'attache reste immobile et l'essieu reste en position radiale.According to the invention, this imbalance in the radiality of the axles of a vehicle subjected to a rolling movement is avoided by the fact that the point of
Cet alignement du point d'attache de la barre d'attelage sur l'axe de roulis peut être obtenu en ramenant ledit point d'attache au niveau de l'axe de roulis par modification de la structure de l'attelage. Une autre solution consiste à déplacer l'axe de roulis,c'est à dire à disposer les points d'attache des éléments de suspension 22 à un niveau tel que l'axe de roulis 23 passe sensiblement par le point d'attache de la barre d'attelage sur la caisse.This alignment of the point of attachment of the drawbar on the roll axis can be obtained by bringing said point of attachment to the level of the roll axis by modifying the structure of the hitch. Another solution is to move the roll axis, that is to say to arrange the attachment points of the
La figure 3 représente de manière schématique deux rails en courbe sur lesquels circule un essieu 2 qui présente alors une roue intérieure 24 et une roue extérieure 25. L'essieu 2 est un essieu conventionnel ferroviaire, c'est à dire que les deux roues 24 à 25 sont solidaires de l'essieu 2, ce qui entralne qu'elles tournent toujours à la même vitesse. Lorsque l'essieu 2 parcoure des rails courbes, les deux roues intérieure et extérieure ne parcourent pas la même distance et il en résulte un glissement de la roue extérieure 25 qui est égal à
Le glissement de la roue extérieure provoque un effet retardateur T opposé au sens de la marche désigné par la flèche 26; ceci engendre un couple qui tend à s'opposer au positionnement radial de l'essieu 2, ceci correspondant à une tendance au non-virage.The sliding of the outer wheel causes a retarding effect T opposite to the direction of travel designated by
Conformément à l'invention, chaque essieu moteur comporte des roues indépendantes en rotation et il est muni d'un dispositif permettant de limiter le glissement entre les deux roues. Ceci peut être réalisé comme représenté sur la figure 4 où l'essieu est constitué de deux demi-essieux 27 et 28 qui sont reliés à un dispositif différentiel 29 dont la possibilité de glissement est limitée, par exemple à 5%.According to the invention, each driving axle has independent wheels in rotation and it is provided with a device making it possible to limit the slip between the two wheels. This can be achieved as shown in Figure 4 where the axle consists of two half-
Selon un autre mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 5, chaque essieu non moteur est constitué par un essieu 31 supportant des roues folles 32 et 33 munie chacune d'un dispositif de freinage 34 respectivement 35; un dispositif électronique schématisé 36 contrôle la vitesse de rotation de chacune des roues 32 et 33 et agit sur le dispositif de freinage 34 et 35 pour rétablir l'égalité des couples résultants sur chaque roue, par freinage da la roue en emballement dans le cas d'un essieu moteur et par défreinage des deux roues jans le cas d'un essieu porteur (dispositif anti-enrayeur).According to another embodiment shown in FIG. 5, each non-driving axle is constituted by an axle 31 supporting
Si l'on considère la figure 1, on voit que la longueur du véhicule E est égale à :
Par ailleurs, les problèmes liés à la réalisation d'un dispositif d'intercirculation entre deux véhicules voisins entraînent que la longueur d d'une barre d'attelage est fixée à quelques centimètres près. On ne peut donc pas agir sur ce paramètre non plus. Il en résulte qu'il subsiste trois paramètres pouvant varier à savoir les longueurs a,b, et n, ces longueurs étant par ailleurs liées d'une part par la relation de radialité et d'autre part par l'équation ci-dessus du fait que la longueur du véhicule est fixée à l'avance.Furthermore, the problems associated with the production of an intercirculation device between two neighboring vehicles means that the length d of a drawbar is fixed to a few centimeters. We cannot therefore act on this parameter either. As a result, there remain three parameters which can vary, namely the lengths a, b, and n, these lengths being also linked on the one hand by the radial relationship and on the other hand by the above equation because the length of the vehicle is fixed in advance.
On a donc trois paramètres qui sont liés par deux relations; cela permet de choisir au moins un des paramètres de manière arbitraire.We therefore have three parameters which are linked by two relations; this allows at least one of the parameters to be chosen arbitrarily.
Conformément à l'invention, le paramètre n, c'est-à-dire la distance séparant l'axe d articulation de l'essieu de l'axe d'articulation de la barre d'attelage est déterminé d'après l'équation suivante :
Cette équation traduit le fait que la barre d'attelage 4 est tangente à l'axe 37 de la voie c'est-à-dire à la courbe disposée à équidistance des deux rails. Ceci est illustré sur la figure 6 où l'on voit que l'ensemble des deux barres d'attelage 4 est tangent à l'axe de la voie 37, le point de contact étant le point central du dispositif d'attelage, c'est-à-dire le point d'accrochage 38 des deux barres d'attelage l'une sur l'autre. Ceci est réalisé quel que soit le rayon de courbure de la voie comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6.This equation reflects the fact that the drawbar 4 is tangent to the
Conformément à l'invention, cette dernière relation est respectée et pour le guidage radial des essieux extrêmes c'est à dire les essieux disposés à l'extrémité d'une rame, on adjoint à chaque essieu d'extrémité 41 un essieu de guidage 42 qui est disposé à l'extérieur de la rame, c'est-à-dire du côté opposé au deuxième essieu du véhicule considéré par rapport à l'essieu d'extrémité; en outre, la barre d'attelage 43 de l'essieu d'extrémité 41 est fixée à son extrémité libre sur l'essieu de guidage 42 perpendiculairement à celui-ci et en son milieu.In accordance with the invention, this latter relationship is respected and for the radial guidance of the end axles, that is to say the axles disposed at the end of a train, there is added to each end axle 41 a
De cette manière, l'essieu de guidage 43 maintient automatiquement l'extrémité libre de la barre d'attelage 43 sur l'axe de la voie 37. Cette barre de guidage se trouve donc dans la position de tangence de la figure 6. Etant donné que l'autre condition indiquée dans le brevet principal concernant la relation entre les paramètres a,b,d, et n est respectée, on obtient donc de manière automatique un guidage radial de tous les essieux de l'ensemble de la rame.In this way, the guide axle 43 automatically maintains the free end of the drawbar 43 on the axis of the
On voit que l'invention permet d'obtenir un guidage radial de l'ensemble des essieux d'une rame ferroviaire indépendamment des mouvements de roulis et du franchissement des courbes par ladite rame.It can be seen that the invention makes it possible to obtain radial guidance of all the axles of a railway train independently of the roll movements and of the crossing of the curves by said train.
L'invention est particulièrement intéressante dans le domaine des véhicules ferroviaires circulant sur des voies comportant des courbes à rayon faible, ce qui est le cas en particulier des métros urbains.The invention is particularly advantageous in the field of railway vehicles traveling on tracks having curves with a small radius, which is the case in particular for urban metros.
