Abstract

Bogie for rail vehicles, the bogie being equipped with a primary suspension and the primary suspension being designed with hydropneumatic spring elements (1, 3).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drehgestell für Schienenfahrzeuge, wobei das Drehgestell mit einer Primärfederung ausgestattet ist.The invention relates to a bogie for rail vehicles, the bogie being equipped with a primary suspension.

Drehgestelle sind im allgemeinen mit Primärfedern aus Stahl in Form von Schrauben- oder Blattfedern oder aus Gummi in Form schub- oder druckbeanspruchter homogener oder mit Metalleinlage versteifter Elemente ausgerüstet. Die einzelnen Federelemente weisen eine lineare oder schwach progressive Kennlinie auf. Eine deutliche Progression läßt sich durch stufenweises Zuschalten weiterer Federelemente erreichen, wobei eine Unstetigkeit der Charakteristik in Kauf genommen wird. Gummifedern neigen zur Setzung, der nur durch ausreichendes Volumen mit entsprechendem Platzbedarf begegnet werden kann.Bogies are generally equipped with primary springs made of steel in the form of coil or leaf springs or rubber in the form of elements that are subjected to shear or pressure loads and are homogeneous or stiffened with a metal insert. The individual spring elements have a linear or weakly progressive characteristic. A clear progression can be achieved by gradually switching on additional spring elements, whereby a discontinuity in the characteristics is accepted. Rubber springs tend to settle, which can only be countered by sufficient volume with a corresponding space requirement.

Eine systemeigene Dämpfung ist nur bei der auf wenige Anwendungsfälle beschränkten Blattfeder gegeben. In beschränktem Maß können auch Gummielemente mit einem Dämpfungsanteil konzipiert werden. Im allgemeinen erfolgt die Dämpfung jedoch über diskret angeordnete Elemente.A system-specific damping is only given with the leaf spring, which is limited to a few applications. To a limited extent, rubber elements with a damping component can also be designed. In general, however, the damping takes place via discrete elements.

Die Entgleisungssicherheit eines Drehgestells kann durch eine entsprechend weiche Auslegung der Primärfeder oder durch die Ausführung des Rahmens in verwindungsweicher Form oder als Gelenkrahmen gewährleistet werden. Die mechanische Koppelung von Federgruppen über Verbindungshebel zur Realisierung einer Dreipunktlagerung hat aus Gewichts- und Platzgründen keine Bedeutung mehr.The security against derailment of a bogie can be guaranteed by a suitably soft design of the primary spring or by the design of the frame in a torsionally soft form or as an articulated frame. The mechanical coupling of spring groups via connecting levers to implement a three-point bearing is no longer important for reasons of weight and space.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Drehgestell mit einer Primärfederung zu schaffen, deren Charakteristik bei unverändertem Einbauraum variabel ist, die ohne Zusatzelemente höhenverstellbar ist und auf eine einfache Weise eine Dreipunktlagerung bei zwei- oder mehrachsiger Ausführung zu realisieren gestattet.The object of the invention is to provide a bogie To create primary suspension, the characteristics of which are variable with unchanged installation space, which can be adjusted in height without additional elements and which allows a three-point bearing to be implemented in a two- or multi-axis version in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen gelöst. Fortbildungen und besondere Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Ansprüchen umfaßt.This object is achieved with the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1. Developments and special embodiments of the invention are included in the further claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Primärfederung mit hydropneumatischen Federelementen, bestehend aus Zylinder und Kolben mit zugeordneten Flüssigkeits- und Gasvolumina, ausgeführt, wobei in den Federelementen wenigstens ein Teil des Flüssigkeitsvolumens angeordnet ist. Durch Nachfüllen oder Ablassen der Flüssigkeit kann die Höhe der Federelemente reguliert werden.According to the invention, the primary suspension is designed with hydropneumatic spring elements consisting of cylinders and pistons with assigned liquid and gas volumes, at least part of the liquid volume being arranged in the spring elements. The height of the spring elements can be regulated by refilling or draining the liquid.

Die Federelemente sind vorteilhafterweise mit einer Dämpfung, z.B. in Form einer Drossel am Kolben oder am Übergang zu an den Federelementen angeschlossenen Leitungen versehen.The spring elements are advantageously damped, e.g. in the form of a throttle on the piston or at the transition to lines connected to the spring elements.

Das Gasvolumen kann in den Federelementen angeordnet sein, oder es sind an die Federelemente Gasspeicher als externe Elemente angeschlossen, wobei in den Gasspeichern ein Teil des Flüssigkeitsvolumens und das Gasvolumen angeordnet ist.The gas volume can be arranged in the spring elements, or gas storage devices are connected to the spring elements as external elements, a part of the liquid volume and the gas volume being arranged in the gas storage devices.

Nach der Erfindung können beide Federelemente eines Radsatzes oder Losradpaares oder beide Federelemente einer Drehgestellseite über eine Leitung miteinander verbunden sein. Hierdurch wird eine Dreipunktlagerung der beiden separaten Federelemente und des zusammengeschalteten Federelementes und damit eine Entgleisungssicherheit erreicht, da keine Unterschiede mehr in den Radaufstandskräften an dem (theoretisch) mittig gelagerten Radpaar auftreten können.According to the invention, both spring elements of a wheel set or idler gear pair or both spring elements of a bogie side can be connected to one another via a line. As a result, a three-point bearing of the two separate spring elements and the interconnected spring element and thus derailment security is achieved, since there are no longer any differences in the wheel contact forces on the (theoretically) centrally mounted pair of wheels can occur.

Bei den zuletzt genannten Ausführungsformen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn ein gemeinsamer Gasspeicher für beide Federelemente an die Verbindungsleitung angeschlossen ist.In the last-mentioned embodiments, it is advantageous if a common gas reservoir for both spring elements is connected to the connecting line.

Im Folgenden wird eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung beispielhaft näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below by way of example with reference to a drawing.

Es sind hier die Federelemente 1, 3 eines Drehgestells gezeigt, wobei die oberen Federelemente 1 an einer Drehgestellseite (längs) und die unteren Federelemente 3 an der anderen Drehgestellseite angeordnet sind. Alle Federelemente 1, 3 bestehen aus einem Zylinder 2 und einem darin geführten Kolben 8 und wirken auf hydropneumatischer Basis. Während die oberen Federelemente 1 über eine Verbindungsleitung 15 miteinander verbunden sind und an diese Verbindungsleitung 15 ein gemeinsamer Gasspeicher 2 angeschlossen ist, ist der Gasspeicher 2 bei den unteren, separat angeordneten Federelementen 3 in diesen integriert. Entsprechend sind die Dämpfungsventile 9, 10 unterschiedlich, nämlich bei den verbundenen Federelementen 1 an dem Übergang zur Verbindungsleitung und bei den separaten Federelementen 3 am Kolben angeordnet. Die separaten Federelemente 3 weisen eine Gas- und Ölbefüllung 5 auf, während bei den verbundenen Federelementen 1 getrennte Gas- und Ölbefüllungen 6, 7 vorhanden sind. Alle Federelemente 1, 3 weisen Entlüftungen 4 auf.The spring elements 1, 3 of a bogie are shown here, the upper spring elements 1 being arranged on one bogie side (longitudinally) and the lower spring elements 3 being arranged on the other bogie side. All spring elements 1, 3 consist of a cylinder 2 and a piston 8 guided therein and act on a hydropneumatic basis. While the upper spring elements 1 are connected to one another via a connecting line 15 and a common gas storage unit 2 is connected to this connecting line 15, the gas storage unit 2 is integrated into the lower, separately arranged spring elements 3. Correspondingly, the damping valves 9, 10 are different, namely in the case of the connected spring elements 1 at the transition to the connecting line and in the separate spring elements 3 on the piston. The separate spring elements 3 have a gas and oil filling 5, while the connected spring elements 1 have separate gas and oil fillings 6, 7. All spring elements 1, 3 have vents 4.
