Definitions

  • the invention relates to a railway system as described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • the railway system 1 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 comprises trailers 4 which, drawn by a tractive unit, can each be transported by road on wheels 5 provided with pneumatic tyres (fig. 3) and which can be arranged in a train; bogies 6; vehicle frames 7 without wheels, and bearing members 8.
  • a tail wagon 2 rests close to the rail equipment 3 in normal manner on a normal bogie 9 and by means of a console 11 on an end bogie 10 protruding outside the tail wagon 2 (fig. 6).
  • another vehicle frame 7 without wheels supports on the bogie 10, while it supports at the other end on a bogie 9 via a bearing member 8.
  • Supporting on the bearing member 8 is the vehicle frame 68 of a trailer 4 which also supports at its other end on a bogie 9 via a bearing member 8 (fig. 4).
  • the bogie 9 is a normal railway bogie whereof the chassis 70 comprises a universal central pivot 15 consisting of a fixed pivot bearing 14 in which a swivel ring 16 is enclosed for movement by means of a bolt 20. Attached to the swivel ring 16 with bolts is a coupling plate 17 which is provided with two positioning stops 18 and into which is recessed a round coupling opening 19 with positioning edge.
  • a bearing member 8 which is coupled in advance to a trailer 4 but which is not yet quite coupled to the bogie 9.
  • the bearing member 8 has a connecting edge 21 with a positioning surface 22 which can pass through the opening 19.
  • the connecting edge 21 centres the bearing member 8 in the central vertical swivel axis 23 of the bogie 9.
  • the bearing member 8 has a coupling arm 13 which extends from the swivel axis 23 over a considerable length a of for instance 1.5 m to a first receiving member 25 of a trailer 4.
  • This first receiving member 25 has a passage 27 adapted to the height of the free end 12 of the coupling arm 13 and sloping positioning surfaces 26 adjoining it, while the free end 12 also has a converging point 28.
  • the fork-lift truck is then removed and the trailer 4 is then moved in a position raised by means of its air springs 35 above the bogie 9 together with the bearing member 8 coupled thereto (fig. 5), wherein vertical, sloping positioning surfaces 37 which are then situated at the level of the stops 18 locate these stops 18 and during the reverse movement of the trailer 4 cause the bearing member 8 to swivel slightly in the horizontal plane.
  • the wheels 5 provided with tyres which are each independently suspended by means of air springs 35 and which are rotatably mounted on swivel arms 44 are retracted upwards from the travel surface 66 (level of the rails 67) by means of air cylinders 45.
  • the trailer 4 is then placed on its normal supports 46 and the relevant trailer is removed after disengaging the coupling pin 47.
  • a bogie 9 can be placed thereunder having a bearing member 8 resting thereon and another trailer 4 resting on the member 8.
  • each trailer 4 has at its front end a third receiving member 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 the trailer 4 and the bearing member 8.
  • the distances b of the support member 49, of the universal pivot 50 and the supports 32 to the vertical transverse plane 56 are preferably equal and small, in any event considerably smaller than the distance a of the free end 12 of the coupling arm 13 to this transverse plane 56.
  • the trailers 4 and the vehicle frames 7 are well placed on the bogies 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 a bogie 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 the bearing member 8.
  • the reaction forces of the bearing member 8 pass without torsion as vertical and/or horizontal forces into the trailer 4 via the receiving members.
  • the bogie 9 can rock about its universal pivot 15 under the bearing member 8 without this leading to jerking forces in the trailers 4.
  • a vehicle frame 7 without wheels can be placed by means of bearing members 8 on two bogies 9, for instance with a hoisting crane present at stations.
  • This vehicle frame 7 is accordingly provided with a first receiving member 25, two second receiving members 34 and a third receiving member 48.
  • This vehicle frame 7 has a length suitable for receiving for instance three vehicle frames 7 stacked on one another, three bogies 9 or stackable or non-stackable containers 57.
  • Fig. 7 also shows what the tail wagons 2 with a slightly greater length can carry.
  • the trailers 49 are placed at three points on two bearing members 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 horizontal transverse axis 72 relative to a bearing member 8.
