Abstract

A flat mainly level control flap (3) is fastened hinged below the coupling head (5), to project over it at the front. The flap is mainly located on the side of the head, which is opposite to the coupling grab relative to the longitudinal centre plane of the coupling. It thereby extends into the grab area of the coupling grab of the counter coupling. The control flap is connected to a control unit with a control link (7), which engages on the protective flap (1) via a lever drive (10) to move it between two positions. When in pivoted-in position, the flap is located parallel to and in front of end face of the coupling head.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Verschwenken einer Schutzklappe an einer selbsttätigen Mittelpufferkupplung für Schienenfahrzeuge mit über die Stirnfläche hinausragendem Kupplungsgreifer.The invention relates to a device for pivoting a protective flap on an automatic central buffer coupling for rail vehicles with a coupling gripper protruding beyond the end face.

Aus der DE-PS 469 385 ist eine Schutzkappe für eine Kabelkupplung in Verbindung mit einer selbsttätigen Fahrzeugkupplung bekannt, wobei die Schutzkappe mit den Kupplungsteilen der Fahrzeugkupplung zwangsläufig so verbunden ist, daß beim Kuppeln der Fahrzeuge beide Schutzkappen von den Kabelenden fortbewegt werden, so daß ein Kuppeln der Fahrzeuge ohne gleichzeitige Freigabe der stromführenden Kabelenden nicht möglich ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Schutzkappe mit den Kuppelteilen der Fahrzeuge so verbunden, daß die beim Kuppeln zurückgehende Kuppelöse an dem zugehörigen Kuppelkopf einen Hebel umlegt, der vor dem Auftreffen der Kabelkupplungen das Emporklappen der Schutzkappe herbeiführt. Das Vorklappen der Schutzkappe erfolgt von oben her über die Kontaktteile mittels Federn.From DE-PS 469 385 a protective cap for a cable coupling in connection with an automatic vehicle coupling is known, the protective cap being inevitably connected to the coupling parts of the vehicle coupling so that when the vehicles are coupled both protective caps are moved away from the cable ends, so that a It is not possible to couple the vehicles without simultaneously releasing the live cable ends. For this purpose, the protective cap is connected to the coupling parts of the vehicles in such a way that the coupling eyelet that goes back when coupling closes a lever on the associated coupling head, which causes the protective cap to flip up before the cable couplings strike. The protective cap is folded forward from above via the contact parts using springs.

Aus der DE-PS 811 360 ist eine Anordnung zum selbsttätigen Öffnen einer Schutzklappe an der Leitungskupplung einer selbsttätigen Fahrzeugkupplung bekannt. Auf der Vorderseite der Schutzklappe ist ein elastischer Bügel mit derart gebogener Stirnfläche angeordnet, daß bei der Berührung derselben mit der Stirnfläche der Gegenschutzklappe ein Öffnen beider Schutzklappen herbeigeführt wird. Der Bügel auf der Schutzklappe jeder Kupplungshälfte einer Leitungskupplung ist außenmittig auf verschiedenen Seiten vorgesehen und ist als Blattfeder ausgeführt.From DE-PS 811 360 an arrangement for automatically opening a protective flap on the line coupling of an automatic vehicle clutch is known. On the front of the protective flap an elastic bracket is arranged with such a curved end face that when the same comes into contact with the end face of the counter-protective flap, both protective flaps are opened. The bracket on the protective flap of each coupling half of a cable coupling is provided on the outside on various sides and is designed as a leaf spring.

Aus der DE-PS 735 049 ist es bekannt, eine nicht benutzte Mittelpufferkupplung eines Eisenbahnfahrzeuges mittels einer Verkleidung aus visier- oder maulartige bewegbaren Teilen ganz oder teilweise abzudecken. Diese Abdeckung ist für den betrieblichen Einsatz zu aufwendig und störanfällig ausgebildet. Ein Verschwenken erfolgt über eine Zugstange. Für die Betätigung der Zugstange ist keine Antriebslösung angegeben.From DE-PS 735 049 it is known to completely remove an unused central buffer coupling of a railway vehicle by means of a lining made of visor-like or mouth-like moving parts or partially cover. This cover is too complex and prone to failure for operational use. Swiveling takes place via a pull rod. No drive solution is specified for the actuation of the pull rod.

Fig. 1
a device for the horizontal pivoting of a protective flap on an automatic central buffer coupling in side view;
Fig. 2
a device for the lateral pivoting of a protective flap on an automatic central buffer coupling in side view in partial section;

Die Einrichtung gemäß Fig. 1 zum Verschwenken einer Schutzklappe 1 an einer selbsttätigen Mittelpufferkupplung für Schienenfahrzeuge mit die Stirnfläche des Kupplungskopfes 5 überragendem Kupplunggreifer 2 (Kupplungsgreifer 2 aus Gründen der besseren Übersicht in der Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt) weist eine flächige, weitgehend ebene Steuerklappe 3 auf, die sich im wesentlichen auf der bezüglich der Mittellängsebene der Mittelpufferkupplung dem Kupplungsgreifer 2 gegenüberliegende Seite erstreckt.The device according to FIG. 1 for pivoting a protective flap 1 on an automatic central buffer coupling for rail vehicles with a coupling gripper 2 protruding from the end face of the coupling head 5 (coupling gripper 2 not shown in FIG. 1 for reasons of a better overview) has a flat, largely flat control flap 3 which extends essentially on the side opposite the clutch gripper 2 with respect to the central longitudinal plane of the central buffer clutch.

Die Steuerklappe 3 ist an ihrem einen Ende über zwei Winkelhebel 4 im unteren Bereich des Kupplungskopfes 5 horizontal schwenkbar angelenkt. Der lange Winkelhebelarm 4a des Winkelhebels 4 wird durch die Steuerklappe 3 gebildet, die im ungekuppelten Zustand schräg nach unten im Winkel β von etwa 45° aus der Vertikalen weist. Der kurze Winkelhebelarm 4b des Winkelhebels 4 und der lange Winkelhebelarm 4a bilden einen Winkel von etwa 135°. Die kurzen Winkelhebelarme 4b sind im unteren Bereich des Gehäuses des Kupplungskopfes 5 über Gelenke 6 horizontal schwenkbar angelenkt, wobei diese im ungekuppelten Zustand etwa vertikal ausgerichtet sind.The control flap 3 is articulated horizontally at one end via two angle levers 4 in the lower region of the coupling head 5. The long angle lever arm 4a of the angle lever 4 is formed by the control flap 3, which in the uncoupled state points obliquely downwards at an angle β of approximately 45 ° from the vertical. The short angle lever arm 4b of the angle lever 4 and the long angle lever arm 4a form an angle of approximately 135 °. The short angle lever arms 4b are articulated horizontally in the lower region of the housing of the coupling head 5 via joints 6, these being oriented approximately vertically in the uncoupled state.

Am langen Winkelhebelarm 4a ist eine Steuerkulisse 7 angelenkt, die mit einem Steuernocken 7a an einen Bolzen 8 angreift, der an einem Hebelarm 9 eines Hebelgetriebes 10 befestigt ist. Das Hebelgetriebe 10 weist einen kurzen Hebelarm 9 auf, der an einem Ende am Winkelhebelarm 4b im Gelenk 11, das sich etwa in der Mitte der Erstreckung des Winkelhebelarms 4b befindet, mit dem kurzen Winkelhebelarm 4b verbunden ist. Am anderen Ende ist der kurze Hebelarm 9 über ein Gelenk 12 mit einem langen Hebelarm 13 verbunden, der seinerseits über ein Gelenk 14 an eine Schwinge 15 angreift, die einerseits horizontal schwenkbar im oberen Bereich des Kupplungskopfes 5 befestigt ist und an der andererseits die Schutzklappe 1 über ein Gelenk 16 horizontal schwenkbar angelenkt ist.A control link 7 is articulated on the long angle lever arm 4a and engages with a control cam 7a on a bolt 8 which is attached to a lever arm 9 of a lever mechanism 10. The lever mechanism 10 has a short lever arm 9, which is connected at one end to the angle lever arm 4b in the joint 11, which is located approximately in the middle of the extension of the angle lever arm 4b, with the short angle lever arm 4b. At the other end, the short lever arm 9 is connected via a joint 12 to a long lever arm 13, which in turn engages via a joint 14 on a rocker arm 15 which, on the one hand, is fastened horizontally pivotably in the upper region of the coupling head 5 and on the other hand the protective flap 1 is articulated horizontally pivotably via a joint 16.

Die Schutzklappe 1 wird zum Verschwenken in die Schließlage vom Kupplungsgreifer der Gegenkupplung (nicht dargestellt) angesteuert. Der Kupplungsgreifer der Gegenkupplung trifft auf die Steuerklappe 3 auf und schwenkt diese um das Gelenk 6 bis in die Endstellung unter den Kupplungskopf 5. Gleichzeitig mit der Steuerklappe 3. wird die Steuerkulisse 7 auf ihrer Bahn angehoben. Die Steuerkulisse greift ihrerseits an den am Hebelarm 9 befindlichen Bolzen 8 an und verschwenkt den Hebelarm 9 im Gelenk 11 um einen Winkel β von ca. 45°. Nach ca. 20° Drehwinkel der Steuerklappe 3 ist der Schwenkvorgang des Hebelantriebes 10 und der Schutzklappe 1 bereits beendet.The protective flap 1 is actuated to pivot into the closed position by the clutch gripper of the counter clutch (not shown). The clutch gripper of the counter clutch hits the control flap 3 and swivels it about the joint 6 to the end position under the coupling head 5. Simultaneously with the control flap 3, the control link 7 is raised on its path. The control link in turn engages the bolt 8 located on the lever arm 9 and pivots the lever arm 9 in the joint 11 by an angle β of approximately 45 °. After approximately 20 ° angle of rotation of the control flap 3, the pivoting operation of the lever drive 10 and the protective flap 1 has already ended.

Die Steuerkulisse 4 macht für den restlichen Drehwinkel der Steuerklappe 3 einen Leerhub und gleitet dabei mit seinem Steuernocken 7 am Bolzen 8 vorbei.The control link 4 makes an idle stroke for the remaining angle of rotation of the control flap 3 and thereby slides past the pin 8 with its control cam 7.

Die Schutzklappe 3 ist in der eingeschwenkten Lage parallel zur und vor der Stirnfläche des Kupplungskopfes 5 angeordnet.The protective flap 3 is arranged parallel to and in front of the end face of the coupling head 5 in the pivoted-in position.

Die Schutzklappe 1 kann zweiteilig ausgebildet sein, wobei beide Teile in dem Gelenk 16 gegeneinander verschwenkbar angelenkt sind, wodurch im gekuppelten Zustand ein Überragen der Stirnfläche der Mittelpufferkupplung durch eine etwa überstehende Schutzklappe 1 auch bei geringerem Hub der Schwinge 15 vermeidbar ist.The protective flap 1 can be formed in two parts, both parts being articulated in the joint 16 so as to be pivotable relative to one another, whereby in the coupled state a protrusion of the end face of the central buffer coupling by an approximately protruding protective flap 1 can be avoided even with a lower stroke of the rocker 15.

Nach dem Entkuppeln bzw. nach Freigabe der Steuerklappe 3 werden die Steuerklappe 3 und die Schutzklappe 1 mittels Federn 17 in die verschwenkte Lage (Ausgangslage) verbracht.After uncoupling or after release of the control flap 3, the control flap 3 and the protective flap 1 are brought into the pivoted position (starting position) by means of springs 17.

In einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung gemäß Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 ist die Einrichtung für eine seitlich verschwenkbare Schutzklappe 1 dargestellt.In a second exemplary embodiment of the invention according to FIGS. 2 and 3, the device for a protective flap 1 that can be pivoted sideways is shown.

Im Gelenk 12 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel anstelle des langen Hebelarmes 13 ein zum Hebelarm 9 etwa gleich langer zweiter Hebelarm 18 angelenkt, der an ein kardanisches Gelenk 19 angreift, das die Hubbewegung und eine Längsbewegung des Hebelarmes 18 in eine Drehbewegung um eine vertikale Achse 20 umsetzt.In this exemplary embodiment, in the joint 12, instead of the long lever arm 13, a second lever arm 18, which is approximately the same length as the lever arm 9, is articulated, which engages a cardan joint 19 which converts the lifting movement and a longitudinal movement of the lever arm 18 into a rotary movement about a vertical axis 20 .

An der vertikalen Achse ist die Schutzklappe 1 befestigt, die somit von der Seite aus einer verschenkten in eine eingeschwenkte Lage und umgekehrt verbringbar ist.The protective flap 1 is attached to the vertical axis and can thus be moved from the side from a given position into a pivoted-in position and vice versa.
