Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rail-road transport system, comprising a series of rail bogies between which are road trailers or containers.
  • each bogie comprises at each of its ends support surfaces receiving respectively the two corners of the ends of a trailer or a container, these support surfaces and said corners comprising members for additional locking.
  • the trailers or containers are each placed between two bogies and their ends are locked on the bearing surfaces by means of the aforementioned locking members.
  • the successive bogies are made integral with one another by means of trailers or containers, which themselves support the traction and braking forces.
  • each trailer or container When the train consisting of this succession of bogies and trailers or containers arrives at its destination, each trailer or container must be able to be removed from the convoy and replaced by another trailer or container without moving the bogies.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the known transport system, by providing the latter with improvements enabling it in particular to carry out the above operation, without moving the bogies.
  • the invention thus relates to a rail-road transport system comprising a series of rail bogies between which are road trailers or containers each bogie comprising at each of its ends bearing surfaces receiving respectively the two end corners d 'a trailer or a container, these bearing surfaces and said corners comprising complementary locking members.
  • this system is characterized in that said bearing surfaces further comprise projecting studs which can engage in complementary openings formed at the ends of trailers or containers, the projecting part of said studs narrowing towards the top and in that said studs are slidably mounted in a vertical direction in respective housings formed in said bearing surfaces against the action of elastic means tending to push said studs upwards.
  • the projecting studs can engage in the complementary openings of trailers or containers, even if the distance between the openings at the opposite ends of the same trailer or container does not exactly correspond to that between the studs of two bogies intended to receive this trailer or container.
  • the studs when placing a trailer or container between two bogies, the studs can partially sink into their housing, so that the projecting part will have at its base a smaller section capable of ability to engage in a corresponding opening of the trailer or container, even if the latter is slightly offset from the stud.
  • the projecting part of the studs is in the form of a truncated pyramid, the openings of trailers or containers having a complementary shape.
  • This pyramid shape favors the engagement of the stud in the corresponding opening and locks the trailer or container in rotation relative to the bogie.
  • the slope of the lateral surface of the pyramid at an angle less than the friction angle between the complementary surfaces of the studs and said openings.
  • said studs are slidably mounted between a lower position in which they partially protrude from the bearing surfaces and an upper position in which they protrude completely and are fully engaged in the corresponding opening of the trailer or container.
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of a train composed of road trailers supported by bogies.
  • Figure 2 is an elevational view in longitudinal section of a bogie.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the bogie.
  • Figure 4 is a partial top view of the bogie.
  • FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view on an enlarged scale along the plane V-V of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a top view of the detail of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 1 represents a rail-road transport system comprising a series of rail bogies 1 between which are road trailers 2 or containers.
  • Each bogie 1 includes, at each of its ends, bearing surfaces 3, 4 respectively receiving the two end corners 2a of a trailer 2 or of a container.
  • These bearing surfaces 3,4 and the corners 2a of the trailers comprise complementary locking members.
  • the locking member 5 belonging to the bogie is shown in Figures 3 and 4. It consists of a finger which can engage in an opening made at the end of the trailer, the locking being ensured by rotation of 90 ° of the finger 5 by means of a lever not shown.
  • each bogie 2 comprises four wheels 6 fixed to a chassis 7 by means of a suspension 8 and friction dampers 9.
  • the bearing surfaces 3,4 receiving the ends 2a of the trailers are part of cross members 10,11 (see Figures 3 and 4).
  • the sleepers 10,11 are connected to the chassis 7 by means described in detail in WO 06616 which allow them a certain degree of freedom along three perpendicular axes, one of these axes being aligned along the longitudinal axis of the chassis.
  • the bearing surfaces 3, 4 of the crosspieces 10, 11 also comprise projecting studs 12 (see FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6) which can engage in complementary openings 13 made at the ends. 2a 2 trailers or containers.
  • each stud 12 is slidably mounted in a vertical direction in a respective housing 15 formed in the cross-member 10 or 11 against the action of springs 16, 17 tending to push the stud 12 towards the top.
  • the projecting part 14 of the studs 12 is in the form of a truncated pyramid, the openings 13 of the trailers 2 or of the containers having a complementary shape.
  • the slope of the lateral surface of the pyramidal part 14 of the studs 12 has an angle less than the friction angle between the complementary surfaces of the studs 12 and the openings 13.
  • FIG. 5 shows that each stud 12 is slidably mounted between a lower position (see on the right of FIG. 5) in which the stud 12 partially protrudes from the bearing surface 3 and a higher position (see the left of the figure 5) in which the stud 12 projects completely and is fully engaged in the corresponding opening 13 of the trailer 2 or container.
  • the lower position is defined by a stop 18 provided between the lower end of the stud 12 and the bottom of the housing 15.
  • the upper position of the stud 12 is defined by the relaxation of the springs 16, 17 included between the stud 12 and the bottom of the housing 15. This upward stroke is limited by a stop 19 provided on a vertical rod 20 secured to the stud 12 and engaged in a bore 21 formed in the bottom of the housing 15.
  • the repelling force of the springs 16, 17 is less than the force exerted by the weight of a trailer 2 or container, but sufficient to overcome the friction generated when the studs 12 are engaged in the openings 13.
  • the complementary locking members 5 described above provided between the bearing surfaces 3,4 and the corners 2a of the two trailers or containers are adapted to allow a certain clearance e of longitudinal movement between the bogies 1 and 2 trailers or containers.
  • this movement clearance is obtained by means of elongated openings 5a made in the cross members 2a of the trailer or container which allow longitudinal movement of the fingers 5.
  • the transport system according to the invention furthermore comprises safety means acting on the braking in the event of the improper positioning of a trailer 2 or of a container on the bearing surface 3, 4 of a bogie 1.
  • these safety means include contactors 22 associated with the braking circuit and releasing the latter by pressure when the trailer 2 is correctly placed on the corresponding bearing surface 3,4 of the bogie.
  • the distance between the axes of the studs 12 released from the first bogie and those of the second bogie corresponds exactly to the distance existing between the axes of the corresponding openings 13 of the trailer which has just been removed, because the bogies 2 remained immobilized by the brakes.
  • the distance between the openings 13 of the trailer that we want to set up will generally be slightly different from the above distance.
  • the trailer moves relative to the cross member over a certain distance, taking into account the movement clearance e provided for by the locking means 5.
  • the opening made in the trailer or the container has come to stand opposite the contactor 22 which, thus released, acts on the braking to stop the train.
  • the contactor sensitive to this movement can then act on the braking to stop the train.
  • the system according to the invention not only considerably facilitates the positioning of the trailers, but also ensures excellent safety in the event of incorrect positioning of the trailers or breaking of the studs 12.
