Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the tilting of vehicles, in particular railway vehicles, in general, and relates, more particularly, to a device authorizing an angular difference in tilting between two vehicles, as well as to a train of vehicles and a vehicle comprising such a device .
  • tilting vehicles allow a reduction in travel time on the existing non-high-speed rail network, a network on which radius curves are less than 3000 m.
  • tilting vehicles Another advantage of tilting vehicles is the improvement of passenger comfort, in particular on winding lines due to the absence of transverse movements received by travelers.
  • the speed of the curve is defined on the basis of the value of the slope of the track and the value of the radius of curvature.
  • An object of the invention is therefore a tilting device for a vehicle based on a new principle.
  • Another object of the invention is a tilting device capable of being implemented on articulated trainsets.
  • the device authorizing an angular difference in tilt between two vehicles is characterized in that one of the vehicles has a load-bearing end and the other vehicle has a supported end, said vehicle with load-bearing end and said vehicle supported end being associated with a middle bogie, a supported ring being associated with said supported end of said vehicle such that rotation is possible between said supported ring and said supported end vehicle.
  • the device authorizing an angular difference in tilt between two vehicles of the invention also satisfies the characteristic that the center of rotation of said device is located above the center of gravity of said vehicle with which it is associated.
  • the train of vehicles or the vehicle, in particular rail is such that each vehicle comprises at least one device allowing an angular difference in tilt between two successive vehicles.
  • Said train of vehicles or said vehicle of the invention also satisfies the characteristic that said device authorizing an angular difference in tilt between two successive vehicles conforms to any of the above characteristics.
  • An advantage of the tilting device of the invention is to adapt to existing vehicles without calling into question the existing structures and without reducing the width of these vehicles while respecting the size of these vehicles.
  • Another advantage of the pendulum device of the invention is to operate smoothly due to the low moment of polar inertia in the transverse plane.
  • tilting device of the invention requires very little energy for operation given the small, or even zero, distance between the center of gravity and the center of rotation.
  • tilting device of the invention does not torsionally stress the structures of vehicles in all possible tilting configurations.
  • tilting device of the invention Another advantage of the tilting device of the invention is that its center of gravity is located below the center of rotation, which makes it possible to naturally return to the initial position of the vehicle, without tilting, in the event of a failure of the control system.
  • Another advantage of the pendulum device of the invention is that it does not require any maintenance for its operation.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the tilting device according to a first embodiment according to the invention.
  • the tilting device is implemented on a railway vehicle.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the tilting device of FIG. 1.
  • the tilting device 1A of a rail vehicle 2 is disposed at the end of the body of this rail vehicle 2 and can also be arranged between two successive rail vehicles 2, 3.
  • the tilting device 1A rests on a median bogie 4 so as to form articulated elements.
  • a tilt control device 5 for example a jack.
  • the median bogie 4 inclines the vehicle 2 comprising a bearing end P towards the inside of the curve to compensate for the insufficient slope of the track taking into account an increased speed of passage in the curve.
  • a load cross member 6 of the bogie 4 remains parallel to the upper supports 7A, 7B of the vehicle 2 while lifting at one end 6A and collapsing at the other end 6B, in order to ensure tilting.
  • the cross load 6 of the bogie 4 while remaining parallel to the supports 7A, 7B of the vehicle 2 ensures the correct operation of the suspension.
  • the load cross member 6 of the bogie 4 is capable of moving at the same time in the transverse direction to better center the vehicle in the gauge of the obstacles defined by the network.
  • Such displacement is possible due to the presence of tilting guide elements 12 of the load cross member 6 relative to a guide cross member 13 of the load cross member 6 of the bogie 4.
  • the center of rotation R of the pendulum is positioned above the center of gravity G of the vehicles at an altitude very close to that of the level N of the heads of seated passengers.
  • the end of the vehicle 3 comprising a supported end S receives a supported ring 8S placed on a joint 9, the joint resting on a carrying cross member 7 secured to the carrying end P of the vehicle 2.
  • Such rotation is obtained by means of guiding elements in rotation 10S between the supported ring 8S and the supported end S of the vehicle 3.
  • Such a rotation is useful in the event of a pendulum control failure on a bogie but also when crossing ramps with variable cant at the entry and exit of the curves.
  • the carrying cross member 7 of the carrying end P of the vehicle 2 rests directly on the secondary suspensions 11 of the median bogie 4.
  • the supported ring 8S of the vehicle 3 rests on the articulation 9 by means of a supported cross member 14S.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the tilting device according to a second embodiment according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the tilting device of FIG. 3.
  • a tilting device 1B of a rail vehicle 2 arranged at the body end of this rail vehicle 2 and which can also be disposed between two rail vehicles 2, 3.
  • the tilting device 1B rests on a median bogie 4 so as to form articulated elements.
  • the articulation 9 rests on a support cross member 14P of a support ring 8P, the support ring 8P being associated with the support end P of the vehicle 2.
  • the median bogie 4 inclines the vehicle 2 comprising a bearing end P towards the inside of the curve to compensate for the insufficient slope of the track taking into account an increased speed of passage in the curve.
  • a load cross member 15 of the bogie 4 remains parallel to the upper supports 7A, 7B of the vehicle 2 while lifting at one end 15A and collapsing at the other end 15B, in order to ensure tilting.
  • the load cross member 15 of the bogie 4 while remaining parallel to the supports 7A, 7B of the vehicle 2 ensures the correct operation of the suspension.
  • the center of rotation R of the pendulum is positioned above the center of gravity G of the vehicles at an altitude very close to that of the level N of the heads of seated passengers.
  • the end of the vehicle 3 comprising a supported end S, receives the supported ring 8S placed on the articulation 9 by means of the supported cross member 14S of the supported ring 8S.
  • a rotation is possible between the supported ring 8S and the vehicle 3 comprising the supported end S, but also between the bearing ring 8P and the vehicle 2 comprising the bearing end P in order to allow an angular difference in tilting between the vehicles 2, 3 associated with the same median bogie 4.
  • Such rotation is possible due to the presence of the 10S rotating guide elements of the supported ring 8S, but also due to the presence of 10P rotating guide elements of the carrier ring 8P.
  • the systems for guiding in rotation 10S, 10P, respectively of the supported ring 8S and of the worn ring 8P are integral, respectively, with the supported ends S and carried P of the vehicles 3, 2, respectively.
  • Such a rotation is useful in the event of a pendulum control failure on a bogie but also when crossing ramps with variable cant at the entry and exit of the curves.
  • the carrying cross member 14P of the carrying ring 8P rests directly on the secondary suspensions 11 of the middle bogie 4.
  • the supported cross member 14S of the supported ring 8S rests on the carrier cross member 14P of the carrier ring 8P by means of the articulation 9.
  • the tilting of vehicles 2, 3 is controlled from their own frames.
  • the middle bogie 4 does not receive any specificity related to the pendulum.
  • a first control device 5S for the inclination of the supported end S of the vehicle 3 can be arranged between the body end of the vehicle 3 and the supported ring 8S associated with this vehicle 3.
  • a second control device (not shown) for the inclination of the carrier end P of the vehicle 2 can be arranged between the body end of the vehicle 2 and the carrier ring 8P associated with this vehicle 2.
  • Each vehicle body therefore comprises a supported ring 8S, a carrier ring 8P, a first control device 5S and a second control device, the supported end S comprising the supported ring 8S and the first associated control device 5S, the end carrier P comprising the carrier ring 8P and the second associated control device.
  • the same control (not shown) acts on the two control devices associated with the same vehicle.
  • the vehicle hangs on its two associated rings around a horizontal axis X passing through the centers of rotation R of pendulum.
  • the centers of rotation R of tilting of the vehicles in the first embodiment and in the second embodiment are preferably located at the same altitude.
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a railway vehicle comprising at each end a pendulum device and an intercirculation device.
  • the communication of travelers to go from one vehicle to another takes place through the supported ring 8S, possibly the carrying ring 8P, of the tilting device 1.
  • the supported ring 8S and its rotation system 10S are rigid enough to drive a train of several vehicles.
  • the tilting device for a rail vehicle of the invention can be implemented on a high-speed train, on a railcar, on a metro or even on a tram and on any vehicle requiring tilting.
  • the tilting device of the invention is such that its center of rotation is positioned at an altitude which does not reduce the width of existing vehicles.
  • the tilting device of the invention increases the “comfort hours” characteristic for seated passengers due to the positioning of the center of rotation close to that of the level of the heads of seated travelers.
  • the pendulum device of the invention does not stress the structures in all operating cases.
  • each vehicle remains independent of each other because the end of the structure has the possibility of turning in the vertical plane on its support.
