Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle for electric play and model railways with a car body, which is suspended on its bottom passing structures of the bogies swinging over ramp slopes, such that the pivoting angle is proportionally positively controlled by turning the bogies when cornering.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a more precise, less backlash swivel connection is present between the bogies and the body.
  • the superstructures and the car body are provided with curved grooves, or in these engaging horizontally and transversely to the longitudinal axis arranged suspension pins, and that the other bogie is suspended in an unguided manner on the car body.
  • the inventive arrangement of the suspension pins engaging in curved grooves results in addition to the pendulum guide for the car body when the bogies are rotated and the suspension of the bogies on the car body, so that additional suspension devices are avoided.
  • the superstructures can be particularly advantageously lateral lateral cylindrical pillars which engage in corresponding, preferably also cylindrical circular arc guides on the inner walls of the car body, the suspension pins and the cam grooves being arranged in the overlapping guide area.
  • the second bogie of each vehicle cannot be provided with a pendulum guide according to the invention, since there is otherwise the risk that one bogie will tilt the car in one direction and the other in the other direction , which would inevitably lead to damage to the vehicle and to derailment.
  • the second undercarriage should therefore be connected to the car body by a playful pivot pin guide, so that - despite the resulting disadvantage that when this bogie advances, the in-the-corner rain does not take place until the trailing bogie reaches the curve area - in opposite directions Controls the oscillating car body are avoided by the two bogies.
  • the superstructures comprise lateral, inside cylindrical guide surfaces for mating webs engaging therebetween, which have continuous cam slots for a preferably detachable pin penetrating the web walls are provided.
  • This embodiment of a vehicle according to the invention has the particular advantage that, for example, the pin can form the axis of a transmission spur gear arranged between the web walls, which, on the one hand, has an output worm of the motor shaft lying in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and, on the other hand, gears connected to the wheel axles, so that - Even more so if the spur gear has axially tapered tooth heads - A drive connection via the oscillating suspension on the bogie from a drive motor arranged inside the vehicle body to the wheels of the bogie is possible.
  • the coupling parts are each attached to the bogies, especially for the vehicles according to the invention, which makes the coupling parts rotatable relative to one another about their longitudinal axis.
  • Fig. 1 you can see an end portion of a car body 1, the car floor 2 is provided in the region of the bogie 3 with a recess that includes circular arc guides 4 with inwardly projecting suspension pins 5.
  • lateral structures are formed in the form of cylindrical columns 11 and 12 on the outside, which are provided on the outside with curved grooves 13, in which the suspension pins 5 engage.
  • the at least partially outside cylindrical shape of the columns 11 and 12 must be present especially in the area of the curved grooves, i.e.
  • the circular arc guides 4 and the sections 11a, 12a, the columns 11, 12 containing the curved grooves 13 could also be rounded in the vertical direction, ie it could be provided that these sections represent sections of spherical surfaces.
  • FIGS. 6 to 10 In the drive vehicle for electric play and model railways shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 with a pendulum-suspended car body, this car body is shown only schematically in the drawings as 1 ', while the bogie effecting the pendulum guide bears the reference symbol 3'.
  • the bogie frame 6 ' carries laterally spaced web walls which form cylindrical guide surfaces 15 and 16 in the middle section for mating guide webs 17 and 18 of the car body 1 which intervene therebetween.
  • the webs 17, 18 are with aligned bores 19 and 20 for a suspension pin 5 'provided, the curve slots 13' penetrates the web walls 11 ', 12'.
  • a special feature of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 10 is that a geared connection from the drive motor 22 arranged in the vehicle body 1 'to the wheels 7 to 10 of the bogie is possible via the oscillating bearing guide.
  • a transmission spur gear 23 with axially tapered tooth heads 24 is mounted on the suspension pin as a bearing axis, which meshes with gear wheels 25, which mesh with gear wheels (not shown) on the running axles of the wheel pairs 7, 8 and 9, 10, respectively another is in engagement with a worm 26 at the end of the output shaft 27 of the drive motor 22.
  • the guide surfaces 15, 16 are spherical on the inside and in a corresponding manner the outer sides of the counter-guide webs 17 and 18 on the car body.
  • FIGS. 11 to 13 show the coupling heads of a coupling especially for vehicles with an oscillating car body according to FIGS. 1 to 10, the coupling parts being fastened to the car body itself in the usual way.
  • the coupling drawbar and the coupling shaft receiving the coupling head are not shown, since the coupling shaft is usually designed so that the coupling head can be inserted with a slotted plug end 31 forming two hook arms 30 into such a coupling shaft.
  • a stop plate 33 is formed on the plug-in part 31 of the one coupling head 32, via which a mushroom-shaped extension 34 with a spherical head 35 protrudes.
  • the associated receiving head 36 with a similar plug-in part 31 has a longitudinal bore 37 with an enlarged receiving bore 38 for the ball head 35 and a lateral longitudinal slot 39 through which the extension 34 can be threaded from the side.
  • the head 35 arrives in the region of the receiving bore 38, which no longer coincides with the threading extension 39 of the lateral longitudinal slot, so that there is no fear of a lateral unhooking.
  • This type of design of the coupling heads allows the coupling heads to be rotated about their longitudinal connection axis to one another, so that the body of the front carriage and the attached rear carriage can tilt independently of one another, as is the case when the first enters a curve and the second is still on the straight.
  • FIG. 14 Another embodiment of such a coupling rotatable about the longitudinal axis is shown in FIG. 14.
  • the coupling heads 32 ′′ and 36 ′′ shown there, again with plug-in projections 31, are each provided with an end plate 40 and 41, of which the former two head pins 43 , the circular arc slots 44 engage behind the latter, provided for threading at the ends of the circular arc slots 44 Threading extensions 45 are provided. These are arranged so that the threading can only be done by tilting the vehicle bodies to extremely opposite positions to each other. Such extreme opposing positions can not occur in practice even in narrow S-curves, so that an automatic decoupling cannot take place.
  • FIG. 15 schematically shows a close coupling which is particularly suitable for the oscillating bodies of the present application, but which also has advantages for other vehicles without an oscillating structure.
  • the coupling drawbar 47 is pivotally articulated on the bogie frame 6, which is only schematically indicated, of an otherwise not shown bogie about the axis 48, the bridge-shaped component 49, which can be latched to the bogie frame 6 by recesses (not shown), being used to fix it on the bogie frame.
  • the coupling drawbar is supported on a pin 50 with an inner bore 51 which is larger than the diameter of the part 52 to be arranged in it, a fastening bearing screw 53 which can be screwed into a threaded bore 54 on the vehicle floor 55.
  • the free tip 56 of the pin 50 is rounded, so that the bogie is virtually gimbal-mounted on the car floor 55 with the aid of the mounting bearing screw and not only the lateral tilting movements of the car body with the car floor 55 are possible in accordance with the pendulum control described above, but also the tilting the longitudinal axes of successive wagons can be compensated for when driving over hills or when driving through valleys.
  • a guide pin 58 is arranged on the coupling drawbar 47 with the coupling shaft 57 for receiving a coupling head, not shown Link guide 59 engages on the car floor.
  • This guide pin 58 must be made relatively long so that it always engages in the link guide 59 even during the aforementioned tilting movements about the longitudinal axis of the carriage or transversely thereto.
  • a return spring known per se is indicated, which is placed around the pin 61 of the guide drawbar on the one hand and the pins 62 on the car floor in the dash-dotted manner in order to prestress the clutch drawbar in each case into the central position.
