Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a railway system as described in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a railway system is known from EP-A-0241099. Herein the bearing member is pivotable relative to the bogie about a vertical axis. The bogie is loaded outside this vertical axis in dependency of the load difference of both vehicles, due to which the wheels of the bogie are unequally loaded. This means that the brake forces of all the wheels can not be well adjusted by means of a common brake force adjusting system.
- US-A-2,963,986 discloses a railway system in which a bearing member is universally pivotable relative to the bogie and has universal pivoting means for bearing the second vehicle frame which are located just above the vertical swivel axis of the bogie. The supporting of the vehicle frames is therein arranged in the vertical swivel axis such that the bogie is thereby centrally loaded so that the wheel shafts are loaded uniformly. The bearing member engages close to the end wall on the first vehicle frame with a considerable moment. Vertical loading, braking and/or tractive longitudinal forces and/or transverse load in the transmitting of transverse forces can lead to unacceptable deformations and/or to breakage of the connection between the bearing member and the first vehicle frame.
- The invention has the object of a better transfer of the loads of both vehicle frames to the bogie and has the object to load the bogie wheels in a predetermined way in order to allow the use of a common brake force adjusting system. To this end the railway system according to the invention discloses the features of the characterising portion of claim 1.
- The bearing member is now loaded on both sides of the vertical swivel axis so that the clamping moment of the bearing member on the first vehicle frame is reduced.
- The invention also relates to and provides a tail wagon, a vehicle frame, a bearing member, a bogie and a trailer as designated in the following claims. Preferred embodiments thereof are specified in following claims and in the figure description following hereinafter and annexed drawings. In the drawing, by way of non-limiting example:
- Fig. 1, 2 and 3 each show a side view of a fraction of a railway system according to the invention;
- fig. 4 shows on a larger scale a partly broken away side view of detail IV of fig. 3;
- fig. 5 shows on a larger scale a perspective view of detail V of fig. 4 in the position not yet coupled to the bearing member;
- fig. 6 shows on a larger scale a partly broken away, exploded perspective view of detail VI of fig. 1; and
- fig. 7 is a diagram of possible loadings of a fraction of a railway system according to the invention.
- The railway system 1 according to the invention preferably consists of a considerable number of elements for assembling trains. Each train comprises at each of its ends a
tail wagon 2 which is provided with the normal relevant rail equipment 3. The railway system 1 preferably further comprisestrailers 4 which, drawn by a tractive unit, can each be transported by road onwheels 5 provided with pneumatic tyres (fig. 3) and which can be arranged in a train;
bogies 6;
vehicle frames 7 without wheels, and
bearingmembers 8. - A
tail wagon 2 rests close to the rail equipment 3 in normal manner on anormal bogie 9 and by means of aconsole 11 on anend bogie 10 protruding outside the tail wagon 2 (fig. 6). - As according to fig. 1 and 2 another
vehicle frame 7 without wheels supports on thebogie 10, while it supports at the other end on abogie 9 via abearing member 8. Supporting on the bearingmember 8 is thevehicle frame 68 of atrailer 4 which also supports at its other end on abogie 9 via a bearing member 8 (fig. 4). - The
bogie 9 is a normal railway bogie whereof thechassis 70 comprises a universalcentral pivot 15 consisting of a fixed pivot bearing 14 in which aswivel ring 16 is enclosed for movement by means of abolt 20. Attached to theswivel ring 16 with bolts is acoupling plate 17 which is provided with twopositioning stops 18 and into which is recessed a round coupling opening 19 with positioning edge. - In fig. 4 can be seen a
bearing member 8 which is coupled in advance to atrailer 4 but which is not yet quite coupled to thebogie 9. The bearingmember 8 has a connecting edge 21 with apositioning surface 22 which can pass through the opening 19. The connecting edge 21 centres thebearing member 8 in the central verticalswivel axis 23 of thebogie 9. The bearingmember 8 has acoupling arm 13 which extends from theswivel axis 23 over a considerable length a of for instance 1.5 m to a first receivingmember 25 of atrailer 4. This first receivingmember 25 has apassage 27 adapted to the height of thefree end 12 of thecoupling arm 13 and slopingpositioning surfaces 26 adjoining it, while thefree end 12 also has aconverging point 28. The bearingmember 8, which weighs for instance 400 kg, can thereby be placed easily, for example with a fork-lift truck, into the first receivingmember 25. Thereafter thecoupling arm 13 is coupled to twoconsoles 29 arranged on thetrailer 4 by twolocking pins 30 which fit into holes of theconsoles 29 being inserted into sizablecorresponding holes 31 of the V-shaped coupling arm 13. The fork-lift truck is then removed and thetrailer 4 is then moved in a position raised by means of itsair springs 35 above thebogie 9 together with thebearing member 8 coupled thereto (fig. 5), wherein vertical, slopingpositioning surfaces 37 which are then situated at the level of thestops 18 locate thesestops 18 and during the reverse movement of thetrailer 4 cause thebearing member 8 to swivel slightly in the horizontal plane. Finally, avertical stop 38 of the bearingmember 8 strikes against thecoupling plate 17. When the bearingmember 8 is thus centred thetrailer 4 is lowered by reducing the air pressure of theair springs 35, whereby the coupling edge 21 of thetrailer 4 comes to lie in theswivel ring 16.Locks 39 arranged on the bearingmember 8 are now pushed beneath thestops 18. These are connected for this purpose to cranks 40 of shafts 41 which are mutually coupled by means of acoupling rod 42 and which are operated by means of a handle 43. - The
wheels 5 provided with tyres which are each independently suspended by means ofair springs 35 and which are rotatably mounted onswivel arms 44 are retracted upwards from the travel surface 66 (level of the rails 67) by means of air cylinders 45. Thetrailer 4 is then placed on itsnormal supports 46 and the relevant trailer is removed after disengaging thecoupling pin 47. After thetrailer 4 has been raised slightly further using its supports 46 abogie 9 can be placed thereunder having abearing member 8 resting thereon and anothertrailer 4 resting on themember 8. For this purpose eachtrailer 4 has at its front end a third receivingmember 48 in the form of a part-spherical cup disposed in the longitudinal central plane which fits around a part-spherical support member 49 disposed on a protruding bearing member piece 41 for the forming of a universal pivot 50 between thetrailer 4 and thebearing member 8. - When the receiving
member 48 comes to lie about thesupport member 49 during retraction of thesupports 46 thetrailer 4 is locked around the bearingmember 8 by means of alocking pin 51 which is displaceable using acrank arm 52 from the release position drawn in fig. 4 into a locking position wherein it engages onto a gripping member 53 of thetrailer 4 in order to block an upward movement. - Finally, the
supports 46 are further retracted. A crank 54 of thecrank arm 52 grips in avertical slot 55 of the locking pin 51 (fig. 5). - The distances b of the
support member 49, of the universal pivot 50 and the supports 32 to the verticaltransverse plane 56 are preferably equal and small, in any event considerably smaller than the distance a of thefree end 12 of thecoupling arm 13 to thistransverse plane 56. - Due to the considerable distance a compared to the distances b the
trailers 4 and thevehicle frames 7 are well placed on thebogies 9 without wrenching. The construction height is therein small, which is of advantage both for enlarging the available loading height and for absorbing lengthwise forces. The shaft loads of abogie 9 are equal whereby a joint load-dependent braking system is used for both shafts. The transverse load is also absorbed without wrenching by means of thebearing member 8. The reaction forces of the bearingmember 8 pass without torsion as vertical and/or horizontal forces into thetrailer 4 via the receiving members. - The
bogie 9 can rock about itsuniversal pivot 15 under the bearingmember 8 without this leading to jerking forces in thetrailers 4. - Instead of a trailer 4 a
vehicle frame 7 without wheels can be placed by means of bearingmembers 8 on twobogies 9, for instance with a hoisting crane present at stations. Thisvehicle frame 7 is accordingly provided with a first receivingmember 25, two second receivingmembers 34 and a third receivingmember 48. Thisvehicle frame 7 has a length suitable for receiving for instance threevehicle frames 7 stacked on one another, threebogies 9 or stackable ornon-stackable containers 57. Fig. 7 also shows what thetail wagons 2 with a slightly greater length can carry. Thetail wagons 2 all have asimilar console 11, wherein depending on the formation direction of the train to be formed, either acoupling device 60 with onesupport member 49 or acoupling device 61 with twosupports 32 is placed by means of itsswivel pin 62 in a rotating bearing 63. Thesupport plate 64 ofcoupling device 61 supports on twoslide surfaces 65 of theconsoles 11. Thecoupling devices console 11 in addition to the above describedlocking pin 51 with operating means. - The
trailers 49 are placed at three points on two bearingmembers 8, wherein they rest with their closed front end on a universal pivot 50 and with their open rear end on two cylindrical pivots so that they are pivotable there about a horizontaltransverse axis 72 relative to abearing member 8.
