Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling device for the ends, supported on a common bogie, of two articulated vehicle units of a rail-bound articulated vehicle, consisting of a fork head fastened to one vehicle unit and having two lateral fork pieces, and a connecting bracket fastened to the other vehicle unit and inserted between the two fork pieces and an aligned openings in the fork pieces of the fork head and the connecting plate passing through the coupling bolt with a spherical bearing arranged in the connecting plate, wherein the upper part of a rotating pan supported on the bogie is arranged under the fork head.
  • DE-GM 66 09 630 also discloses a coupling device between two vehicle units and an intermediate bogie, in which the two vehicle units are pivotally connected to one another by a pivot pin connection and are supported on the intermediate frame via a spherical bearing.
  • two spherical rings with abutting sliding surfaces of the same radius and the same center of curvature are arranged on the pivot pin connection, which form an inner bearing element and an outer shell element, the spherical bearing on the pivot pin and the spherical bearing on the intermediate bogie having the same center of curvature of their bearing surfaces .
  • This coupling device solves the task set satisfactorily.
  • the storage and assembly or disassembly of the bearing pin is disadvantageous in this embodiment.
  • the bearing pin Due to the high forces to be transmitted horizontally and vertically by the bearing pin, the bearing pin must be very large. For the play-free mounting of the coupling pin, which is required to achieve good running properties, tight fits in the mounting of the coupling pin are also required. These components, in conjunction with the fretting rust in the bearing of the coupling bolt, which arises during the rough railway operation and unfavorable weather conditions, means that the disassembly or assembly of the coupling bolt is extremely expensive.
  • the object of the present invention was to design a coupling device of the type mentioned in such a way that, on the one hand, the required properties with regard to power transmission and play-free storage are ensured, on the other hand, easy assembly and disassembly of the coupling bolt and detachment of the two vehicle units from one another are ensured with simple means is.
  • the spherical bearing with the coupling bolt is arranged firmly in the connecting plate, both fork pieces horizontally divided, from a lower fixed and an upper detachable bearing shell existing bearings for the coupling pin, via which the coupling pin can be clamped in the fork pieces.
  • the spherical bearing consists of a partial ball of the coupling pin in the longitudinal center thereof, to which a bearing ring with a cylindrical outer and partially spherical inner jacket is arranged at a distance and the partial balls of the coupling pin and the bearing ring are connected to one another by a vulcanized rubber intermediate layer.
  • the spherical bearing consists of a bearing with a cylindrical outer and inner ring which is fixedly arranged in the longitudinal center on the coupling pin, the outer ring being spherically movable relative to the inner ring.
  • the coupling pin is held on one side by a collar in the bore and on the other side by a closure piece via the spherical bearing in a cylindrical bore of the connecting bracket.
  • the coupling pin on both sides of the spherical bearing shoulders, which stand with play in front of the bearing shells of the bearings of the fork pieces.
  • the coupling bolt with the spherical bearing is advantageously preassembled on the connecting bracket of the one vehicle unit and, after vertical insertion into the lower bearing shells of the bearings of the fork pieces of the other vehicle unit, clamped with simple means by means of the upper detachable bearing shells.
  • Simple and low-maintenance components also ensure that the coupling device is always free of play, even when the rail vehicle is in use for a long time.
  • a fork head 2 having two lateral fork pieces 2a is arranged, while on the other vehicle unit 3, a connecting bracket 4 projecting between the fork pieces 2a is fixedly arranged on the front end facing the vehicle unit 1.
  • the fork pieces 2a of the fork head 2 and the connecting bracket 4 have axially identical openings 5 which are aligned with one another and are arranged horizontally transversely to the longitudinal axis of the carriage.
  • a coupling pin 6 Arranged in the openings 5 is a coupling pin 6, which is partially spherical in its central region and carries a spherical bearing 7 on this partially spherical region.
  • Rotary pan 8 and spherical bearing 7 have the same center of rotation.
  • the spherical bearing 7 carries an outer ring 9 which is arranged at a distance from the part-spherical region of the coupling bolt 6 and which is cylindrical in shape on its outer jacket and rests at one end against a collar 10 in the connecting plate.
  • a closure piece 11 secures the outer ring 9 of the spherical bearing 7 at its other longitudinal end in the connecting tab.
  • the outer ring 9 of the spherical bearing 7 is connected to the partially spherical region of the coupling bolt 6 by a vulcanized rubber intermediate layer 12 connecting them.
  • the fork pieces 2a of the fork head 2 each have a horizontally divided bearing consisting of a lower fixed and an upper detachable bearing shell 13 or 14 for the coupling bolt 6.
  • the upper bearing shells 14 can be connected to the lower bearing shells 13 by screws 15.
  • the coupling bolt 6 with its vulcanized-in spherical bearing consisting of the rubber intermediate layer 12 and the outer ring 9 is inserted into the connecting bracket 4 and secured with the closure piece 11. Then the vehicle unit 3 with the connecting bracket 4 is vertically from above into the lower one Bearing cups 13 of the clevis 2 are used.
  • the connecting bolt 6 is supported on both sides of the spherical bearing 7 with its appropriately designed longitudinal ends on the lower bearing shells 13 and each with a shoulder 16 with a defined play in front of these lower bearing shells 13.
  • the upper bearing shells 14 are placed on the lower bearing shells 13 placed and the connecting bolt 6 jammed over the upper bearing shells 14 by means of the screws 15.
  • the partially spherical region of the coupling pin 6 is omitted.
  • the intermediate rubber bearing 12 and the outer ring 11 are replaced by a spherical standard bearing.
  • the corresponding shoulders and devices that fix this standard bearing are arranged on the coupling pin 6.
