Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical vehicle coupling with a contact socket for establishing an electrical connection between two rail vehicles.
  • a mechanical and an electrical coupling are required to couple two rail vehicles.
  • the mechanical coupling transmits the tractive force of the locomotive to the other vehicles and the electrical coupling creates the electrical contact for control and supply purposes.
  • the clutch should be both mechanically and electrically simple.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an electrical vehicle coupling with a contact socket for establishing an electrical connection between two rail vehicles, which operates fully automatically, is simple and compact and can also be operated manually in an emergency.
  • the solution is that a drive that always rotates in the same direction by means of an eccentric both pushes the contact socket (for coupling) and also pulls it back (for uncoupling).
  • the eccentric comprises a disk wheel with an eccentrically mounted roller wheel and a slide rail in which the roller wheel is guided.
  • the contact socket is preferably fastened at the end of an impact axis on which the slide rail is axially resiliently mounted, the slide rail being perpendicular to the impact axis.
  • the eccentric then has an eccentricity of ( ⁇ x + ⁇ ) / 2, where ⁇ x denotes a nominal feed and ⁇ a compression feed.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the step-down gear 4.2 drives a disk wheel 4.1.
  • the two gears 2 and 4.2 form a gear.
  • the disc wheel 4.1 is provided with an eccentrically mounted roller wheel (not shown in FIG. 1) which runs in a slide rail 5.1.
  • Disc wheel 4.1, roller wheel and slide rail 5.1 thus form an eccentric.
  • the slide rail 5.1 is mounted on an impact axis 5.
  • the slide rail 5.1 is perpendicular to the joint axis 5 and can be moved in the axial direction on the shock axis.
  • a contact socket 6 is attached to a front end of the shock axis 5, which creates electrical contact with a second, coupled vehicle.
  • a spring 5.2 is arranged between the contact socket 6 and the slide rail 5.1, which presses the shock axis 5 with respect to the slide rail 5.1.
  • a collar placed on the impact axis 5 offers the slide rail 5.1 a stop against the rear.
  • the contact socket 6 has on its front side electrical contacts 6.2, which are connected via cables in a cable guide 6.3 to the corresponding parts in the vehicle.
  • a hinged protective cover 6.1 covers the electrical contacts when there is no electrical coupling with another vehicle.
  • a box 3 receives the eccentric and parts of the reduction gear.
  • Fig. 2 shows an illustration of the shock axis 5 in the retracted position.
  • the following can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 4 of the parts already described: the disk wheel 4.1, the roller wheel 4.3, which engages in the slide rail 5.1, the spring 5.2, the collar 5.3 placed on the impact axis 5, the contact socket 6 and the protective cover 6.1 .
  • the disk wheel 4.1 and the slide rail 5.1 are retracted to the maximum at the rear dead point of the disk wheel 4.1.
  • the protective cover 6.1 is folded down.
  • the protective cover 6.1 is fastened, for example, to the contact socket 6 so as to be rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and connected to the non-moving box 3 by a rod.
  • Fig. 3 shows an illustration of the shock axis 5 in the advanced position.
  • the shock axis 5 is now advanced by a desired feed rate .DELTA.x
  • the contact socket 6a now touches the symmetrically advanced contact socket 6b of the second vehicle to be coupled.
  • the disk wheel 4.1 has not yet rotated a full 180 ° with respect to the starting position in FIG. 2.
  • the contact socket 6b of the other vehicle is not there to offer counter pressure, then the shock axis is of course advanced by a total distance of ⁇ x + ⁇ and the spring 5.2 is not tensioned.
  • the disk wheel 4.1 is rotated further in the same direction by 180 ° by means of drive 1 and gear, so that it comes back into the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the slide rail 5.1 is withdrawn by a distance ⁇ x + ⁇ and the shock axis by a distance ⁇ x.
  • the drive can work cyclically and continuously.
  • the disc wheel 4.1 effects the two functions “coupling” and “uncoupling” with one revolution.
  • a lever can be attached to an axis of the disk wheel 4.1 in order to turn it directly by hand. In this way it is possible to actuate the clutch even if the drive 1 is defective.
  • the pinion 1.3 (FIG. 1) can be coupled to a camshaft 7 by means of a clutchable disk wheel 7.1, with which a release mechanism of a mechanical clutch, not shown in FIG. 1, can be actuated.
  • the detachable gear 2 must be decoupled from the pinion 1.3 and the disc wheel 7.1 coupled. With the drive 1, the camshaft 7 is then rotated once. Thereafter, the detachable gear 2 is again connected to the pinion 1.3 and the disk wheel 7.1 is uncoupled.
  • the invention provides an electrical vehicle clutch that operates fully automatically, ensures good electrical contact even when shaken, and is mechanically and electrically simple.
