Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a bogie for railway vehicles, including vehicles for light or conventional metropolitan networks.
- In railway vehicles it is important to reduce that portion of the weight of the bogie which bears directly on the wheels without interposed resilient suspension means, that is, to reduce the non-suspended weight of the bogie. In fact, as this weight increases, the bogie becomes more aggressive towards the tracks, increasing the stresses and vibrations transmitted to the latter when a train passes.
- This problem is more serious in the case of drive bogies, in which the weight of the bogie itself is increased by the presence of a motor, for example an electric motor, and the transmission required to transmit the drive from the motor to the wheels. Such a transmission normally includes a reduction unit and one or more couplings operable to compensate for relative movements between the motor and the axles.
- In order to reduce the aggressiveness of the drive bogie towards the track, bogies have been proposed which have their motors entirely suspended from the bogie chassis, but have the weight of the reduction unit bearing on the axle. Other prior art arrangements provide for the reduction unit to be entirely suspended from the bogie chassis. However these arrangements involve a complicated drive transmission between the reduction unit and the axle/wheel assembly.
- The object of the invention is to provide a bogie for railway vehicles which is extremely simple and safe in operation, and eliminates the disadvantages of prior art bogies listed above.
- This object is achieved by the bogie for railway vehicles according to the invention, which includes a rigid chassis, at least two pairs of wheels with each wheel fixed to a corresponding axle, at least one of the wheels being driven by a corresponding drive motor, and which also includes resilient suspension means between the chassis and the axles, and is characterised in that a structure is provided between the chassis and the axle of the at least one driven wheel, the structure being mounted by means of an articulation pin on the chassis and connected thereto by the suspension means, the said motor being arranged with its centre of gravity lying substantially on the axis of the articulation pin.
- Such a bogie achieves the result of carrying the weight of the drive motor, or motors, so that they are entirely suspended while a considerable portion of the weight of the reduction unit is also suspended so that the transmission means do not have to absorb relative movements between the axle and the chassis due to the primary suspension of the bogie.
- The invention thus simplifies the problem, enabling the motor to be entirely suspended, the reduction unit to be semi-suspended and the drive to be transmitted directly from the motor to the reduction unit and from this to the wheel.
- In order to provide a clearer understanding of the invention, a preferred embodiment of the bogie is described here, purely by way of example and with the assistance of the appended drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a partial plan view of a railway bogie according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a section taken on the line II-II of Figure 1.
- With reference to Figure 1, the chassis of a railway bogie is generally indicated 5 and includes a pair of robust symmetrical longitudinal members 6, of inverted-U shape, of which only part of one is visible in the drawings. The longitudinal members 6 are connected to each other by at least two
cross-members 4, each of which may be shaped, for example, like a tubular bar. - The bogie includes two pairs of
wheels 10. One end of a longitudinal member 6 is illustrated schematically in the drawings and astructure 8, commonly known as a "reduction unit" and which acts as a wishbone, is fixed to the said end by means of an articulation pin 7. Thestructure 8 encloses aspeed reducer 20 andhouses bearings wheel 10 is mounted. In the example illustrated, the twowheels 10 are therefore independent. This is particularly useful both for high-speed railway vehicles and for vehicles for city and suburban lines which are often required to travel on tortuous networks. - In fact, for high-speed vehicles, the
independent wheels 10 avoid the risk of snaking movements caused by the cone angle of the wheel rims and therefore avoid any resulting transverse instability of the bogie. In vehicles for city or suburban lines, which have curves of a small radius, often down to 15 metres, bogies withindependent wheels 10 eliminate the anti-steering effect of the axle 9, which is due to the different developments of the inner andouter tracks 13, and therefore any longitudinal slippage between thewheels 10 andtracks 13. In this way, any annoying flats are eliminated from the rolling face of the wheel, thus reducing the need for expensive re-turning of thewheels 10. - A
brake disc 16 is securely fixed to one end of the axle 9, in the case described the axle 9 inwards of thechassis 5. Abrake calliper 17, acting on thedisc 16, is carried by thestructure 8. The usual primary suspension assembly for the bogie, generally indicated 11, is also fixed to the ends of the longitudinal members 6. Theassembly 11 includes, in particular, resilient suspension means of any type, operable to ensure the optimum suspension of the vehicle and acting through afulcrum 21 on anarm 18 fixed to thestructure 8. - In addition, a
drive motor 12 for thewheel 10 is mounted on the side of the structure 8 (Figure 1), its position being fixed so that its axis of rotation, on which its centre of gravity also lies, coincides with the axis of the pin 7 articulating thechassis 5 to thestructure 8. Thespeed reducer 20 is operable to reduce and transmit the rotation from the shaft of themotor 12 to the axle 9 and thereby to thewheel 10. Therefore the weight of themotor 12 bears only on theprimary suspension 11. In addition, the need is eliminated for any devices on the bogie to compensate for any relative movements between themotor 12 and thewheel 10 due to the primary suspension. - The advantages of the bogie of the invention over prior art bogies will be apparent from the above description. In fact, as the centre of gravity of the
motor 12 lies on the axis of articulation of thestructure 8, the weight of themotor 12 does not bear on the axle 9 and therefore its mass does not have to follow the relative movement of thewheel 10 caused by the suspension. - In addition, the fact that the geared drive transmission unit is carried by the
same structure 8 as that which supports themotor 12, eliminates the need for devices to compensate for relative movements. Finally, thestructure 8 is perfectly adapted for the independent drive of eachwheel 10 of the bogie, thereby satisfying the requirements of high-speed vehicles and those of suburban vehicles. - It is clear that alterations and improvements may be made to the bogie described without departing from the scope of the present invention.
