  • the device authorizing an angular difference in tilt between two vehicles successive of an articulated train, one of the vehicles comprising a load-bearing end and the other vehicle comprising a supported end, said vehicle with end support and said supported end vehicle being associated with a median bogie, characterized in that a supported ring is on the one hand disposed between said supported end vehicle and said vehicle with a carrying end, and on the other hand associated with said end supported from the vehicle in such a way that a rotation is possible between said supported ring and said vehicle at end supported.
  • the device allowing an angular difference of pendulum between two vehicles of the invention satisfied also to 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 includes at least a device allowing an angular difference of pendulum between two successive vehicles.
  • Said train of vehicles or said vehicle of the invention also satisfies the characteristic according to which said device authorizing a difference tilt angle between two successive vehicles is conform to any of the above features.
  • An advantage of the tilting device the invention is to adapt to existing vehicles without jeopardizing existing structures and without reduce the width of these vehicles while respecting the gauge of these vehicles.
  • Another advantage of the tilting device the invention is to operate smoothly due to the low moment of polar inertia in the transverse plane.
  • Another advantage of the tilting device the invention is to require only little energy for the operating given the short distance between the center of gravity and the center of rotation.
  • Another advantage of the tilting device the invention is not to twist the vehicle structures in all configurations possible tilting.
  • tilting device the invention Another advantage of the tilting device the invention is that its center of gravity is located under the center of rotation which allows to find naturally the initial position of the vehicle, without tilting, in case control system failure.
  • Another advantage of the tilting device the invention is to require no maintenance for its operation.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the device pendulum according to a first embodiment in accordance with the invention.
  • the pendulum device is implemented on a railway vehicle.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the device pendulum of figure 1.
  • the pendulum device 1A of a vehicle rail 2 is arranged at the end of the body of this rail vehicle 2 and can also be arranged between two successive railway vehicles 2, 3.
  • the tilting device 1A rests on a middle bogie 4 so as to form elements articulated.
  • a tilt control 5 for example a jack.
  • the middle bogie 4 tilts vehicle 2 having a bearing end P inward of the curve to compensate for the insufficient slope of the lane taking into account a curve speed increased.
  • 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 bogie 4 while remaining parallel to supports 7A, 7B of vehicle 2 ensures correct operation of the suspension.
  • the load cross member 6 of the bogie 4 is likely to move at the same time in the transverse direction to better center the vehicle in the gauge of obstacles defined by the network.
  • Such displacement is possible due to the presence tilting guide elements 12 of the cross member load 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 vehicles to an altitude very close to that of level N of the heads of travelers seated.
  • the end of the vehicle 3 having a supported end S receives a supported ring 8S placed on a joint 9, the articulation resting on a supporting cross-member 7 secured to the carrying end P of the vehicle 2.
  • Such a rotation is obtained by means of elements of 10S rotating guide between the supported ring 8S and the supported end S of the vehicle 3.
  • Such rotation is useful in case of failure of tilting command on a bogie but also during crossing of ramps with variable cant at the entrance and at the output 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 middle bogie 4.
  • the supported ring 8S of the vehicle 3 rests on the joint 9 via a cross supported 14S.

  • a tilting device 1B of a railway vehicle 2 arranged at the end of the body of this rail vehicle 2 and can also be placed between two vehicles rail 2, 3.
  • the tilting device 1B rests on a middle bogie 4 so as to form elements articulated.
  • the articulation 9 rests on a carrying cross member 14P an 8P carrier ring, the 8P carrier ring being associated with carrier end P of the vehicle 2.
  • the center of rotation R of the pendulum is positioned above the center of gravity G of vehicles to an altitude very close to that of level N of the heads of travelers seated.
  • the end of the vehicle 3 having a supported end S receives the supported ring 8S placed on articulation 9 via the crossmember supported 14S from the supported ring 8S.
  • Rotation is possible between the supported ring 8S and the vehicle 3 comprising the supported end S, but also between carrier ring 8P and vehicle 2 comprising the supporting end P in order to allow a tilt angle difference between vehicles 2, 3 associated with the same median bogie 4.
  • Such rotation is possible due to the presence 10S rotating guide elements of the supported ring 8S, but also due to the presence of guiding in rotation 10P of the carrier ring 8P.
  • the 10S, 10P rotating guidance systems, of the supported ring 8S and of the worn ring respectively 8P are secured, respectively, to the supported ends S and carried P of vehicles 3, 2, respectively.
  • Such rotation is useful in case of failure of tilting command on a bogie but also during crossing of ramps with variable cant at the entrance and at the output of the curves.
  • the cross-member 14P of the ring 8P rests directly on the secondary suspensions 11 of the bogie median 4.
  • the supported cross member 14S of the supported ring 8S rests on the carrying cross member 14P of the carrying ring 8P through joint 9.
  • Vehicle tilt control 2, 3 is made from their own frames.
  • the middle bogie 4 receives no specificity linked to the pendulum.
  • a first 5S tilt control device of the supported end S of the vehicle 3 can be disposed between the vehicle body end 3 and the supported ring 8S associated with this vehicle 3.
  • a second control device (not shown) of the inclination of the carrying end P of the vehicle 2 can be placed between the body end of the vehicle 2 and the carrier ring 8P associated with this vehicle 2.
  • Each vehicle body therefore includes a ring supported 8S, an 8P carrier ring, a first 5S control and a second control device, the end supported S with the supported ring 8S and the first associated 5S control device, the supporting end P comprising the bearing ring 8P and the second device for associated command.
  • the same command acts on both 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 pendulum rotation R.
  • Vehicle tilting rotation centers R in the first embodiment and in the second embodiment are preferably located at the same altitude.
  • Figure 5 is a side view of a vehicle railway comprising at each end a device for pendulum and an intercirculation device.
  • the supported ring 8S and its 10S rotation system are rigid enough to train a train of several vehicles.
  • the tilting device for rail vehicle of the invention can be implemented on a high speed train, on a railcar, on a metro or on a tram and on any vehicle requiring a pendulum.
  • the pendulum device of the invention is such that its center of rotation is positioned at an altitude not to reduce the width of vehicles existing.
  • the pendulum device of the invention increases the characteristic "hours of comfort" seated travelers positioning the center of rotation close to that the level of the heads of seated travelers.
