Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection device for articulated vehicles, especially rail vehicles, which can be used in particular for tram type vehicles.
  • the traffic between the cars can be ensured by traffic boxes resting on a bogie.
  • the cars are, at least partially, carried by the traffic boxes.
  • a trailer is carried by two interconnection boxes and a motor rests on one side on a bogie which is specific to it and on the other on an interconnection box.
  • the device according to the present invention allows a connection between an interchange box and the ends of the adjacent cars in the upper part, thanks to a deformable system.
  • This system provides transverse support while allowing a hollow and bump movement, that is to say allowing a possible distance from the upper parts of the vehicles. It keeps an identical vertical opening or closing angle on either side of an intercirculation box, whatever the topography of the tracks (flat, hollow, speed bump, curve, etc.) , and eliminate roll between vehicles.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a connection device between articulated vehicles, in particular railway vehicles, ensuring the connection between an interconnection box resting on a bogie and the ends of adjacent cars carried by the interconnection box, the cars and the box interconnection being hooked together in the lower part, characterized in that, in the upper part, each end of the car is connected to the body by an articulation rod, the articulation rods being connected to each other by connecting elements , the assembly formed by the articulation connecting rods and the connecting elements constituting a parallelogram deformable.
  • Each articulation connecting rod can be connected to the interconnection box and to a car by ball joint connection.
  • the connecting elements may advantageously include, on one side a ball joint and on the other a bearing by bearing. They can be constituted by connecting rods or by cables.
  • the interconnection box supports the cars in the lower part, for example by hooking devices of the ball type 4 and 5.
  • Cars 2 and 3 have, in the upper part, articulation supports respectively referenced 6 and 7, located in the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the vehicles and projecting towards the interchange body 1.
  • the interconnection body also has , in the upper part, the same type of articulation support, these supports referenced 8 and 9 projecting towards the cars.
  • the articulation supports 8 and 9 are not located in the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the vehicles but are offset with respect to this axis, one being on one side of the axis and the other being on the other side.
  • Each top articulation support of an intercirculation box is connected to the top articulation support of the adjacent box by an articulation rod.
  • the connecting rod 10 connects the supports 6 and 8 and the connecting rod 11 connects the supports 7 and 9.
  • the connections between the connecting rods and the supports are advantageously of the ball-and-socket type.
  • the connecting rod 10 is extended on the side of the articulation support 8 to be connected to a first end of a connecting rod 13 disposed longitudinally relative to and above the intercirculation box.
  • the second end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the articulation connecting rod 11 at a point located between the supports 7 and 9.
  • the connecting rod 11 is extended on the side of the articulation support 9 to be connected to a first end of a connecting rod 12 disposed longitudinally relative to and above the intercirculation box.
  • the second end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the articulation connecting rod 10 at a point located between the supports 6 and 8.
  • the connecting rods 12 and 13 can be called intermediate rods.
  • the intermediate rods 12 and 13 and the articulation rods 10 and 11 form a parallelogram situated in a plane parallel to the track.
  • connection between the connecting rods 10 and 13 and between the connecting rods 11 and 12 are advantageously of the ball type.
  • the connections between the connecting rods 10 and 12 and between the connecting rods 11 and 13 are advantageously of the bearing type.
  • the ends of the intermediate rods 12 and 13 are mounted at equal distances from the corresponding articulation box articulation supports.
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the connecting device according to the invention for vehicles traveling on level ground.
  • the articulation connecting rods 10 and 11 are practically parallel to a direction transverse to the vehicles.
  • the device according to the invention can be mechanically stressed at the level of the connecting rods 10 and 11 without movement of the assembly constituted by the connecting rods 10, 11, 12 and 13.
  • FIG. 3 represents the case where the interconnection box 1 is at the top of a bump, the lead car 2 begins to descend the bump and the rear car 3 continues to climb it. The distance separating, in the upper part, the body 1 of each car is then greater than the same distance for vehicles traveling on flat ground (case of FIG. 2).
  • FIG. 4 represents the case where the interconnection box 1 is at the bottom of a trough, the leading car 2 begins to rise from the trough and the rear car 3 keep going down. The distance between the body 1 of each car is then less than the same distance for vehicles traveling on flat ground.
  • connection device for a given topography, there is one position and only one for the connection device according to the invention, which therefore excludes any galloping phenomenon of the intercirculation box.
