Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chassis for Rail vehicles with four wheelsets, each two wheelsets form a bogie and the wheelsets via coupling and guide elements with a bogie frame are connected and in addition the bogie frame rotatable relative to a vehicle frame is arranged being on the end wheel sets of the bogies Actuators are articulated.
  • Trolleys are already known, which by a Rigid longitudinal guidance of the wheel sets prevent it from going too self-excited vibrations comes and a safe Ensure transmission of drive and braking forces. Because of the large restoring forces that the turning out of the wheel sets brought up by such longitudinal guides these wheelsets can be in the Do not set the arc completely radially. The remaining one Skewing induced on the leading wheelset of the bogie an outward transverse force and on the trailing wheelset one to the center of the curve pointing force. As a result of the moment effect the bogie anti-radial. This is called a gauntlet or called rear freewheel.
  • Trolleys are also known, the two by one mechanical coupling device in opposite directions to each other have coupled wheel sets and their wheel profile and wheel set longitudinal restraint are designed in such a way that the elastic restoring forces that the turning out counteract the wheelsets on the bogie frame, are smaller than that due to the taper of the tread Wheels generated longitudinal forces.
  • Such cross-coupled drives have the disadvantage afflicted that due to the low longitudinal rigidity of the wheelset guides additional handlebars for the transmission of traction or braking force are required. Furthermore wheel profiles are particularly necessary.
  • a chassis is a training become known with coupling elements that Generic two oppositely coupled Has wheel sets. Here are for adjustment no active elements arranged for control.
  • EP 368 403 A1 is a generic Chassis known, with actuators as well Suspension and guide elements between the bogie frame and wheelset bearing housings as a parallel arrangement are arranged.
  • actuators as well Suspension and guide elements between the bogie frame and wheelset bearing housings as a parallel arrangement are arranged.
  • control unit for comparison of the setpoint / actual value of the actuators remove. This arrangement has the defect that none Regulation of the actuators is provided.
  • a radial control is included with the help of hydraulic cylinders known the wheelset links are connected in series, being as Control variable turning angle measurements of a stationary Signal system can be used. This is one Uniform use of adhesive value in all wheel contact points not ensured.
  • the object of the invention is a generic chassis for rail vehicles to create that with a low expenditure on mechanical coupling devices the radial adjustability of the wheel sets during sheet travel ensures that wear is reduced to a minimum and thus ensuring a good transmission of traction in the sheet run and stability when running in a straight line not affected.
  • FIG. 1 the two end wheel sets of a bogie with one leading end wheel set 6 and a trailing end wheel set 6 '. Corresponding idler gear sets are not shown in detail.
  • air bellows cylinders were used chosen as force-controlled actuators 9.9 '.
  • actuators 9.9 ' such as Air cylinder
  • Air cylinder any force-controlled actuators 9.9 ', such as Air cylinder, applicable. Unless these elements can exert both tensile and compressive forces the possibility of actuators 9,9 'either only to be arranged on one side of the wheel sets 6,6 'or to switch the actuators 9,9 'in such a way that the on the outside of the bow there is a spreading that there is a contracting force on the inside of the bow produce half the size.
  • FIG. 2 is a chassis with a radial control represented by a position-controlled actuator 11.
  • the wheel set 6 is guided analogously to that in FIG. 1 outlined ways.
  • the function of the spring assembly 8.8 ' take over spherical bearings at the ends of the trailing arm 10th
  • FIG. 3 A detailed version of a position-controlled actuator in the form of a mechanical adjustment device is in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the trailing link is in this version 10 with the spherical bearing and two claws 12 with a moving spindle 13 connected, the bearing 16 between a spindle nut 14 and a mounting block 17 make sure that the spindle nut 14 can rotate freely about its axis, but is axially fixed and thus absorbs the longitudinal forces of the wheel set 6.
  • a mechanical one Adjustment devices are a matter of course hydraulic cylinders can also be used.
  • FIG 4 shows the arrangement of a sensor 18 for control the actuators 9, 9 ', 11 using a schematic shown bogie. From a distance measurement between the sensor 18 and one on the vehicle frame 1 attached measuring surface becomes the turning angle between bogie frame 3 and vehicle frame 1 determined.
  • FIG. 5 is an arrangement of two bogies with sensors 18, 18 'and a logical connection of the two measurement signals based on one standing in the track channel Rail vehicle shown.
  • the interconnection of the sensor output signals is also shown in FIG. 5.
  • the two measurement signals become one variable ⁇ summarized and converted into the arc radius Rm (20).
  • This processed variable is now available for specifying the setpoint within the control loop of the actuators 9, 9 '; 11. All that needs to be taken into account are the center distances and the stiffness, which are opposite to the turning out of the wheel set compared to the bogie frame.
  • Fig. 6 it offers two-axis Bogies with a not too large center distance on, the force-controlled actuators 9.9 'of the leading and the trailing wheelset 6,6 'to one To combine actuator 9.
  • a similar arrangement can also be realized for position-controlled actuators 11.
