Abstract

In a twin-axle railway goods car, in particular in a car with sliding sides, it is provided that the two head parts of the car each have a longitudinal section (1) with a width (B1) which is reduced in comparison with the width (B2) of the central car section (2). As a result, a transport facility with an extremely large area is available which, despite its considerable length and width, has car clearance corresponding to the regulations. <IMAGE>

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft einen zweiachsigen Eisenbahngüterwagen, insbesondere einen Schiebewandwagen.The invention relates to a two-axle rail freight wagon, in particular a sliding wall wagon.

Durch Lieferungen sowie ein entsprechendes Prospektblatt der Firma DUEWAG AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT ist eine Großraum-Schiebewandwageneinheit bekannt. Die Einheit besteht aus zwei jeweils zweiachsigen Güterwagen, die über eine Kurzkupplung miteinander verbunden sind. Jeder der 13,5 m langen Zweiachser hat eine Ladefläche, auf der 30 sogenannte Industriepaletten mit den Abmessungen 1,0 x 1,2 m oder 35 Europaletten mit den Abmessungen 0,8 x 1,2 m unterbringbar sind.A large sliding wall unit is known from deliveries and a corresponding brochure from DUEWAG AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT. The unit consists of two two-axle freight cars, which are connected to each other via a close coupling. Each of the 13.5 m long two-axle vehicles has a loading area on which 30 so-called industrial pallets with the dimensions 1.0 x 1.2 m or 35 Euro pallets with the dimensions 0.8 x 1.2 m can be accommodated.

Ziel der Erfindung ist ein Güterwagen mit noch größerem Ladevermögen. Auf dem Weg zu diesem Ziel bietet sich an, von der für zweiachsige Wagen zugelassenen Länge von 15,5 m Gebrauch zu machen. Aus den einschlägigen Berechnungsformeln für die Wagenbegrenzung gemäß EBO bzw. UIC resultiert dann eine Wagenbreite, die zwar das Verstauen von 42 Europaletten ermöglicht, jedoch nur noch 28 Industriepaletten Platz bietet.The aim of the invention is a freight wagon with an even greater loading capacity. On the way to this goal it is advisable to use the length of 15.5 m approved for two-axle wagons. The relevant calculation formulas for wagon limitation in accordance with EBO or UIC then result in a wagon width that allows 42 Euro pallets to be stowed, but only offers space for 28 industrial pallets.

Das in Vorgenanntem liegende Problem einer Vergrößerung des Ladevermögens unter gleichzeitigem Einhalten der Begrenzungsvorschriften für Güterwagen wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die beiden Kopfpartien des Wagens jeweils einen Längsabschnitt mit einer gegenüber der Breite des mittleren Wagenabschnittes verringerten Breite aufweisen.The above-mentioned problem of increasing the loading capacity while at the same time complying with the limitation regulations for freight wagons is solved according to the invention in that the two head parts of the wagon each have a longitudinal section with a width that is smaller than the width of the middle wagon section.

Bei Schiebewandwagen bestehen die Wandteile im wesentlichen aus einem durch im Querschnitt hutförmige Säulen verstärkten Blech. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung enthält jedes Schiebewandteil eine den Übergang zwischen der verringerten Breite auf die Breite des mittleren Wagenabschnittes erzeugende Profilsäule.In sliding wall wagons, the wall parts consist essentially of a sheet metal reinforced by hat-shaped columns. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, each sliding wall part contains a profile column which produces the transition between the reduced width and the width of the middle carriage section.

Der erfindungsgemäße Güterwagen kann in seinem mittleren Wagenabschnitt drei Längsreihen von z. B. Industriepaletten oder Europaletten aufnehmen, wobei in den beiden Kopfpartien jeweils zwei Industriepaletten oder drei Europaletten nebeneinander angeordnet werden. Um zu gewährleisten, daß die Schiebewand vor allem beim Pufferstoß nicht mit der Masse solcher Ladeeinheiten belastet wird, besteht eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung darin, daß der in der Breite verringerte Längsabschnitt eine Länge hat, die um ein Sicherheitsmaß kleiner ist als die Länge einer Ladeeinheit Auf diese Weise setzen sich alle Längskräfte über die Ladeeinheiten (Paletten) in den Kopfpartien unmittelbar an den Stirnwänden des Güterwagen ab.The freight car according to the invention can three longitudinal rows of z. B. pick up industrial pallets or Euro pallets, two industrial pallets or three Euro pallets being arranged side by side in the two top sections. In order to ensure that the sliding wall is not loaded with the mass of such loading units, especially in the event of a buffer impact, a further embodiment of the invention consists in that the longitudinal section, which is reduced in width, has a length that is a safety measure less than the length of a loading unit In this way, all longitudinal forces are deposited directly on the bulkheads of the freight wagon via the loading units (pallets) in the head sections.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand kann sowohl bei gedeckten als auch bei offenen Güterwagen verwirklicht werden. Eine extrem großflächige Transportmöglichkeit mit einer Länge von beispielsweise 31 m bei maximaler Breite wird nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung dadurch geschaffen, daß zwei jeweils zweiachsige Wagen in an sich bekannter Weise durch eine Kurzkupplung zu einer Einheit verbunden sind.The subject of the invention can be implemented both in covered and in open freight wagons. An extremely large-area transport possibility with a length of, for example, 31 m at maximum width is created according to a further embodiment of the invention in that two two-axle carriages are connected to a unit in a manner known per se by a close coupling.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Wageneinheiten bestehen jeweils aus zweiachsigen Güterwagen, die durch eine Kurzkupplung 6 miteinander verbunden sind.The wagon units shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 each consist of two-axle freight wagons which are connected to one another by a close coupling 6.

Bei der bekannten Einheit gemäß Fig. 1 ist die Ladefläche jedes 13,5 m langen und etwas über 3 m breiten Zweiachsers zur Aufnahme von 30 Industriepaletten 4 mit den Abmessungen 1,0 m x 1,2 m (linke Bildhälfte) oder von 35 Europaletten 5 mit den Abmessungen 0,8 m x 1,2 m (rechte Bildhälfte) ausgelegt. Verlängert man die Zweiachser der Fig. 1 um jeweils 2 m auf mithin 15,5 m, so ergibt sich die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Wageneinheit, deren Breite dann entsprechend den einschlägigen Berechnungsformeln für die Wagenbegrenzung unter 3 m liegt. Wie ersichtlich, vermag eine solche Einheit zwar 42 Europaletten 5, jedoch nur 28 Industriepaletten 4 aufzunehmen.In the known unit according to FIG. 1, the loading area of each 13.5 m long and slightly over 3 m wide two-axle vehicle is for receiving 30 industrial pallets 4 with the dimensions 1.0 mx 1.2 m (left half of the figure) or 35 euro pallets 5 with the dimensions 0.8 mx 1.2 m (right half of the picture). Extending the two-axle vehicle in FIG. 1 by 2 m each to 15.5 m results in the carriage unit shown in FIG. 2, the width of which is then less than 3 m in accordance with the relevant calculation formulas for the carriage limitation. As can be seen, such a unit can hold 42 euro pallets 5, but only 28 industrial pallets 4.

Die ebenso 15,5 m langen Zweiachser der Einheit nach Fig. 3 weisen im Bereich ihrer Kopfpartien jeweils einen Längsabschnitt 1 auf, dessen Breite B1 gegenüber der Breite B2 des mittleren Wagenabschnittes 2 verringert ist, wobei die Breite B2 wie im Falle der Fig. 1 größer als 3 m ist. Auf diese Weise können auf jeder Ladefläche der Güterwageneinheit nunmehr 34 Industriepaletten 4 oder 42 Europaletten 5 verstaut werden.The likewise 15.5 m long two-axle vehicles of the unit according to FIG. 3 each have a longitudinal section 1 in the area of their head sections, the width B1 of which is reduced compared to the width B2 of the middle carriage section 2, the width B2 as in the case of FIG. 1 is greater than 3 m. In this way, 34 industrial pallets 4 or 42 euro pallets 5 can now be stowed on each loading area of the freight wagon unit.

Die in Fig. 4 dargestellten Schiebewandteile 3 weisen jeweils eine Profilsäule 3a auf, die durch ihre Formgebung den Übergang zwischen der verrringerten Breite B1 auf die Breite B2 des mittleren Wagenabschnittes 2 erzeugen. An diese Profilsäulen 3a sind im übrigen die Bleche der Schiebewandteile 3 auf einfache Weise anschließbar. Die in ihrer Breite verringerten Längsabschnitte 1 haben eine Länge L1, die kleiner ist als die Länge L einer Ladeeinheit, beispielsweise gemäß Fig. 4 einer Industriepalette 4. Dadurch besteht zwischen den Profilsäulen 3a der Schiebewandteile 3 und den Ladeeinheiten im mittleren Wagenabschnitt 2 ein Sicherheitsabstand mit der Folge, daß die speziell beim Pufferstoß auftretenden Längskräfte über die in den Längsabschnitten 1 angeordneten Ladeeinheiten in die Stirnwände 7 geleitet werden.The sliding wall parts 3 shown in FIG. 4 each have a profile column 3a, which, due to their shape, produce the transition between the reduced width B1 to the width B2 of the middle carriage section 2. In addition, the sheets of the sliding wall parts 3 can be connected to these profile columns 3a in a simple manner. The longitudinal sections 1, which are reduced in width, have a length L1 which is less than the length L of a loading unit, for example according to FIG. 4 of an industrial pallet 4. As a result, there is a safety distance between the profile columns 3a of the sliding wall parts 3 and the loading units in the middle carriage section 2 the consequence that the longitudinal forces occurring specifically in the buffer joint are conducted into the end walls 7 via the loading units arranged in the longitudinal sections 1.
