Abstract

Between the air spring system (2) and the running mechanism (3) a roller device (6) is arranged with a rolling direction orientated crossways to the vehicle. The effective radius of the roller device is virtually the same as or greater than the height of the air spring system and its rolling area is definedly limited. The roller device is formed by a roller plate (8) on the lower support surface of the air spring system, with a central, rounded roller edge (7) and a flat counter bearing surface (9) on the running mechanism. The roller edge on both sides is limited by tangential flat surfaces (10), the opening angle of which defines and limits the rolling area of the device.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abstützung für Schienenfahrzeuge, mittels Luftfedersystem, die jeweils aus einer Luftfeder sowie einer Zusatzfeder, vorzugsweise einer Gummizusatzfeder, bestehen, einzeln oder mehrfach zwischen dem Wagenkasten und den Laufwerken vorgesehen sind und die Querfederung und die Ausdrehung des Fahrzeuges übernehmen.The invention relates to a support for rail vehicles, by means of an air spring system, each consisting of an air spring as well an additional spring, preferably a rubber additional spring, one or more times between the body and the Drives are provided and the cross suspension and the rotation of the vehicle.

Es ist ganz allgemein bekannt, Wagenkästen von Schienenfahrzeugen über Luftfedersysteme auf den Laufwerken abzustützen. Diese Luftfedersysteme dienen hauptsächlich der vertikalen Fahrzeugfederung, werden aber aus ökonomischen Erwägungen überwiegend zugleich für die Querfederung des Fahrzeuges und die Ausdrehbewegung des Laufwerkes benutzt. Um die Fahrsicherheit/ Entgleisungssicherheit des Fahrzeuges auch bei einem eventuellen Ausfall der Luftfeder zu gewährleisten, ist das Luftfedersystem im allgemeinen als eine Reihen- und/ oder Parallelschaltung von Luft- und Gummizusatzfeder aufgebaut. Infolge der hohen und sehr komplexen Beanspruchung des Luftfedersystems ist es praktisch unmöglich, eine sowohl für die vertikale Federung als auch für die horizontale Federung und Ausdrehcharakteristik jeweils optimale Gestaltung und Auslegung zu gewährleisten. So kann zwar mit einer Halbbalgluftfeder und einer Gummischichtenfeder, als Zusatzfeder, eine ausreichende Querweichheit erreicht werden, jedoch ist dieses System beim Ausdrehen häufig nicht knicksteif und vertikal im Notfederbetrieb zu hart. Sicherlich ließen sich diese Mängel durch Vergrößerung des Systems beseitigen, jedoch steht in den Laufwerken der hierzu erforderliche Platz selten zur Verfügung. Zusatzfedern, welche knicksteif und vertikal ausreichend weich sind, wie beispielsweise Konusfedern, bieten in Querrichtung wiederum nur eine geringe Elastizität. Die Auslegung des Luftfedersystems hinsichtlich Platzbedarf, vertikaler und horizontaler Federkonstante, Drehsteifigkeit, Setzungsverhalten, Lebensdauer und anderes mehr stellt deshalb immer nur einen Kompromiß dar.It is very common to know the bodywork of rail vehicles to be supported on the drives via air spring systems. This Air suspension systems are mainly used for vertical vehicle suspension, but are predominantly for economic reasons at the same time for the transverse suspension of the vehicle and the turning movement of the drive used. About driving safety / derailment safety of the vehicle even in the event of a possible failure To ensure the air spring is the air spring system in the generally as a series and / or parallel connection of Air and rubber additional spring built. As a result of the high and very complex loading of the air spring system, it is practical impossible to use one for both vertical suspension also for the horizontal suspension and turning characteristics to ensure optimal design and layout. So can with a half-bellows air spring and a rubber layer spring, as an additional spring, sufficient cross-softness is achieved this system is common when turning not kink-resistant and too hard vertically in emergency spring mode. Definitely these shortcomings could be remedied by enlarging the system remove, but the drives contain the necessary information Space rarely available. Additional springs, which are stiff and vertically soft enough, such as Cone springs, in turn, offer only a small amount in the transverse direction Elasticity. The design of the air spring system with regard to Space requirement, vertical and horizontal spring constant, Torsional rigidity, settlement behavior, service life and others more is therefore always a compromise.

So ist ein Abstützsystem für Schienenfahrzeuge (WO 95/18734) bekannt, bei dem zur Verbesserung der Quersteifigkeit und der kardanischen Beanspruchung bei Neigetechnik vorgeschlagen wird, am oberen Ende der Gasfeder (Luftfeder) eine Kalottenfeder zusätzlich anzuordnen. Dieser Lösung haftet der Nachteil an, daß die Kalottenfeder nicht nur ihre Wirkung in der beabsichtigten Richtung entfaltet, sondern unerwünschte Auswirkungen beziehungsweise Bedingungen beispielsweise auch in vertikaler Belastungsrichtung oder bei der Drehung des Laufwerkes auftreten.So is a support system for rail vehicles (WO 95/18734) known to improve transverse rigidity and gimbal stress in tilting technology is proposed, At the upper end of the gas spring (air spring) an additional calotte spring to arrange. This solution has the disadvantage that the dome spring not only has its intended effect Direction unfolded but undesirable effects respectively Conditions, for example, also in the vertical direction of loading or occur when the drive rotates.

In jedem Fall verringert die zusätzliche Kalottenfeder die Knick- und die Drehsteifigkeit des Federsystems insbesondere dann ganz erheblich, wenn gemäß Anspruch 2 unter der Gasfeder eine Schichtfeder angeordnet ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die Wirkung der Kalottenfeder im gesamten Bewegungsbereich des Federsystems vorhanden ist, das heißt, die verringerte Quersteifigkeit muß gegen Ende des Querfederweges durch zusätzliche Bauteile wieder verhärtet werden, damit plötzliche, unangenehme Anschläge vermieden werden.In any case, the additional dome spring reduces the Buckling and torsional rigidity of the spring system in particular then very significantly, if according to claim 2 under the gas spring a layer spring is arranged. Another disadvantage is in that the effect of the spherical spring in the entire range of motion of the spring system is present, that is, the reduced Lateral stiffness must pass towards the end of the transverse spring travel additional components are hardened again so that sudden, unpleasant attacks can be avoided.

Weiterhin ist auch allgemein bekannt, daß die Querfederkonstante eines Luftfederbalges keine feste Größe ist, sondern beispielsweise neben dem Balginnendruck und der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit auch vom Querfederweg abhängig ist. Nachteiligerweise ist die Querfederung bei den häufig vorkommenden kleinen Querausschlägen deutlich härter als bei den selteneren großen Querfederwegen, was zu einer negativen Wirkung auf Fahrzeuglauf und Fahrkomfort führt.Furthermore, it is also generally known that the transverse spring constant an air bag is not a fixed size, but for example in addition to the inner bellows pressure and the speed of movement also depends on the transverse spring travel. Unfortunately is the transverse suspension for the frequently occurring small transverse deflections significantly harder than with the rarer large cross spring travel, which has a negative effect on vehicle running and Driving comfort leads.

Der im Patentanspruch angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Abstützung von Schienenfahrzeugen mittels Luftfedersysteme zu schaffen, welche eine geringe Querfedercharakteristik des Fahrzeuges bei kleinen Querfederwegen gewährleistet und die keine nachteiligen Wirkungen auf die vertikale Federung und die Drehung des Laufwerkes hervorruft.The invention specified in the patent claim is the problem is based on supporting rail vehicles using air suspension systems to create which has a low transverse spring characteristic of the vehicle with small transverse spring travel and which have no adverse effects on vertical suspension and causing the drive to spin.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, indem zwischen dem Luftfedersystem und dem Laufwerk eine Rolleinrichtung mit quer zum Fahrzeug orientierter Rollrichtung angeordnet ist, deren wirksamer Radius R annähernd gleich oder größer der Höhe des Luftfedersystems und deren Rollbereich definiert begrenzt ist. Des weiteren ist erfindungsgemäß, daß die Rolleinrichtung durch eine an der unteren Abstützfläche des Luftfedersystems oder daran befindlicher Elemente angeordneten Rollplatte mit mittiger, gerundeter Rollschneide und eine am Laufwerk angebrachten ebenen Gegenlagerfläche gebildet ist. Weiterhin ist erfindungsgemäß, daß die Rollschneide nach beiden Seiten von tangierenden ebenen Flächen begrenzt ist, deren Öffnungswinkel α den Rollbereich der Einrichtung definiert und begrenzt. Es ist weiterhin erfindungsgemäß, daß die Rolleinrichtung durch Anschläge und Leisten gegen ein Verdrehen, Verschieben und Abheben gesichert ist.According to the invention the object is achieved by between the air spring system and the running gear with a roller device is arranged transversely to the vehicle oriented rolling direction, the effective radius R approximately equal to or greater than the height of the air suspension system and its roll range are limited is. It is further the invention that the rolling device by one on the lower support surface of the air spring system or elements arranged thereon with a roller plate central, rounded roller cutter and one attached to the drive flat counter bearing surface is formed. Still is According to the invention that the rotary cutter on both sides of tangent flat surfaces is limited, their opening angle α defines and limits the roll area of the facility. It is also according to the invention that the rolling device through Stops and strips against twisting, moving and lifting is secured.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung liegen insbesondere darin, daß weitgehend herkömmliche und damit bewährte sowie kostengünstige Luftfedersysteme in Kombination mit der Rolleinrichtung eine definierte Gestaltung des Querfederverhaltens ermöglichen. Durch Wahl des Radius R der Rolleinrichtung und des Rollbereiches kann einerseits die Größe der Querfedercharakteristik und andererseits der Bereich der Beeinflussung den speziellen Anforderungen jedes Fahrzeuges einfach angepaßt werden. Die Lösung ist auch deshalb so vorteilhaft, weil ausschließlich in der gewünschten Richtung die positive Wirkung auftritt, ohne dabei die vertikale Feder- und horizontale Ausdrehcharakteristik zu beeinflussen. Die geringe Bauhöhe der Einrichtung gewährleistet zudem den problemlosen Einsatz auch bei Laufwerken mit beschränkten Platzverhältnissen.The advantages of the solution according to the invention are in particular in the fact that it is largely conventional and therefore proven and cost-effective Air spring systems in combination with the roller device enable a defined design of the transverse spring behavior. By choosing the radius R of the roller device and the Roll range can on the one hand the size of the transverse spring characteristic and on the other hand the area of influencing the special The requirements of each vehicle can be easily adapted. The solution is also advantageous because it is exclusive in the desired direction the positive effect occurs without the vertical spring and horizontal unscrewing characteristics to influence. The low height of the facility ensures also the problem-free use even with drives with limited space.

Der Wagenkasten 1 stützt sich in nicht näher dargestellter, aber allgemein üblicher Anordnung über symmetrisch zur Laufwerkmitte angeordnete Luftfedersysteme 2 auf dem Laufwerk 3 ab. Dabei kann es sich sowohl um zwei als auch um mehrere Luftfedersysteme 2 pro Laufwerk 3 handel. Gemäß Fig. 1 besteht das Luftfedersystem 2 aus der Luftfeder 4, hier als Halbbalg vorgesehen, und der Gummizusatzfeder 5, hier als Konusfeder ausgeführt. Der Halbbalg ist notwendig, weil neben der Querbewegung auch die Ausdrehbewegungen bei Bogenfahrten vom Balg aufgenommen werden müssen. Die Konusfeder wurde wegen der vergleichsweise großen vertikalen Elastizität bei vorhandener Knicksteifigkeit ausgewählt. Unterhalb des Luftfedersystems 2 ist die Rolleinrichtung 6 angeordnet, deren Rollschneide 7 in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung ausgerichtet ist. Im einzelnen besteht die Rolleinrichtung 6 aus einer an der Gummizusatzfeder 5 befestigten Rollplatte 8 und einer am Laufwerk 3 befindlichen ebenen Gegenlagerfläche 9. Die Rollschneide 7, mittig an der Rollplatte 8 ausgebildet, besitzt einen Radius R, der annähernd gleich oder größer der Höhe des Luftfedersystems 2 ist, wobei auch zur Erzeugung einer Progression dieser Radius mit zunehmendem Queranschlag größer werden kann. Die spezielle Auslegung richtet sich nach der zu erreichenden Elastizität der Querfederung des Wagenkastens 1. Beiderseitig der Rollschneide 7 sind an der Rollplatte 8 ebene Flächen 10 unter einem Öffnungswinkel a angeordnet, die den Rollbereich der Abstützung definieren und begrenzen. Die Fig. 1 zeigt die gesamte Abstützung für den Fall eines stehenden Schienenfahrzeuges im geraden Gleis, das heißt, einer Belastung der Abstützung mit ausschließlich vertikalen Kräften. Dabei nehmen alle Bauteile ihre symmetrische Mittellage ein.The car body 1 is supported in a not shown, but generally common arrangement about symmetrical to the center of the drive arranged air spring systems 2 on the drive 3. It can be two or more air spring systems 2 per drive 3 trade. 1 that is Air spring system 2 from the air spring 4, here provided as a bellows, and the rubber additional spring 5, here designed as a conical spring. The half-bellows is necessary because in addition to the transverse movement also the turning movements during bends are taken up by the bellows Need to become. The cone spring was because of the comparative great vertical elasticity with existing buckling stiffness selected. Below the air spring system 2 is the Rolling device 6 arranged, the roller cutter 7 in the vehicle longitudinal direction is aligned. In detail there is Roll device 6 from a attached to the rubber auxiliary spring 5 Roller plate 8 and a level on the drive 3 Counter bearing surface 9. The roller cutter 7, centered on the roller plate 8 formed, has a radius R, which is approximately the same or greater the height of the air spring system 2, whereby also for Generation of a progression of this radius with increasing cross stop can get bigger. The special design judges the elasticity of the transverse suspension of the Carriage body 1. Both sides of the roller cutter 7 are on the Roll plate 8 flat surfaces 10 arranged at an opening angle a, that define and limit the roll area of the support. Fig. 1 shows the entire support for the case of a stationary rail vehicle in a straight track, that is, a load on the support with only vertical Powers. All components take their symmetrical middle position on.

Wirken während der Fahrt Seitenkräfte auf das Schienenfahrzeug ein, kommt es zwischen dem Wagenkasten 1 und dem Laufwerk 3 zu einer Seitenverschiebung Sy, die durch eine Verformung beziehungsweise Bewegung der Luftfeder 4, der Gummizusatzfeder 5 und der Rolleinrichtung 6 hervorgerufen wird. Entsprechend der Ausbildung des Öffnungswinkels α wird beim Erreichen bestimmter Seitenkräfte die Bewegungsmöglichkeit der Rolleinrichtung 6 durch die ebenen Flächen 10 begrenzt. Die Seitenverschiebung Sy des Wagenkastens 1 sollte in diesem Fall ca. 25 % des maximalen Weges betragen. Die weitere Querbewegung erfolgt jetzt nur noch durch das Luftfedersystem 2, eventuell in Verbindung mit weiteren elastischen Queranschlägen. Diese Situation ist in der Fig. 2 dargestellt. Durch eine derartige erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Abstützung kann bei kleinen Querbewegungen eine weiche Querfedercharakteristik mit einer sich daran anschließenden, definierten Progression erzielt werden. Im Betriebseinsatz ist zu gewährleisten, daß die Rolleinrichtung 6 in der beabsichtigten Anordnung erhalten bleibt, wofür gemäß Fig. 3 die formschlüssige Ausbildung der Rollplatte 8 in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Anschlägen 11 gegen Verdrehen und Verschieben gewählt wurde. Eine zusätzliche Leiste 12 gewährleistet darüberhinaus auch die Sicherung gegen ein Abheben der Rollplatte 8. There are lateral forces on the rail vehicle during the journey a, it happens between the car body 1 and the drive 3 a side shift Sy caused by a deformation or Movement of the air spring 4, the rubber auxiliary spring 5 and the rolling device 6 is caused. According to the training of the opening angle α is determined when it is reached Lateral forces the possibility of movement of the roller device 6 limited by the flat surfaces 10. The side shift Sy of car body 1 in this case should be approx. 25% of the maximum Way. The further transverse movement now only takes place through the air spring system 2, possibly in conjunction with others elastic cross stops. This situation is shown in Fig. 2 shown. By such an inventive design the support can be soft with small transverse movements Transverse spring characteristic with a subsequent defined progression can be achieved. In operation to ensure that the roller device 6 in the intended The arrangement is retained, for which the positive connection according to FIG. 3 Training of the roller plate 8 in connection with corresponding Stops 11 selected against twisting and moving has been. An additional bar 12 also ensures also the securing against lifting of the roller plate 8.
