La figure 2 est une vue générale du véhicule ferroviaire pour transport combiné rail-route conforme à l'invention.Figure 2 is a general view of the rail vehicle for combined rail-road transport according to the invention.

Le véhicule ferroviaire 1 pour transport combiné rail-route de l'invention est constitué d'un châssis 2 reposant à chaque extrémité sur un bogie 3.The rail vehicle 1 for combined rail-road transport of the invention consists of a chassis 2 resting at each end on a bogie 3.

Une plate-forme mobile 4 verticalement est susceptible de coulisser à l'intéreur du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1.A vertically mobile platform 4 is capable of sliding inside the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1.

Une position basse B de la plate-forme mobile 4 correspond à une rame en service et une position haute H de la plate-forme mobile 4 permet le chargement et le déchargement de véhicules routiers 5.A low position B of the mobile platform 4 corresponds to a train in service and a high position H of the mobile platform 4 allows the loading and unloading of road vehicles 5.

De manière à permettre au véhicule ferroviaire pour transport combiné rail-route de respecter le gabarit en chargement et en courbe, le véhicule ferroviaire de l'invention comporte une plate-forme mobile 4 aussi mince que possible, par exemple de l'ordre de 50 mm, et comporte des bogies 3 disposés de part et d'autre de cette plate-forme mobile 4.In order to allow the rail vehicle for combined rail-road transport to respect the loading and bending gauge, the rail vehicle of the invention comprises a mobile platform 4 as thin as possible, for example of the order of 50 mm, and includes bogies 3 arranged on either side of this mobile platform 4.

La liaison plate-forme mobile/bogies s'effectue au moyen de pivots 6, d'axe de rotation vertical P, solidaires du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1.The mobile platform / bogies link is made by means of pivots 6, of vertical axis of rotation P, integral with the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1.

Afin de ne pas sortir du gabarit B+ dans le sens transversal lors des passages en courbe, le véhicule ferroviaire 1 pour transport combiné rail-route comporte des plates-formes mobiles 4 à entraxe E réduit au maximum (figure 3).In order not to leave the gauge B + in the transverse direction during the curve passages, the rail vehicle 1 for combined rail-road transport comprises mobile platforms 4 with center distance E reduced to the maximum (FIG. 3).

Pour ce faire, la longueur des plates-formes mobiles 4 est telle qu'elle ne permet de recevoir que des ensembles articulés du type tracteurs et semi-remorques.To do this, the length of the mobile platforms 4 is such that it can only receive articulated assemblies of the tractor and semi-trailer type.

Les camions avec remorques devront donc être séparés et occuper deux plates-formes.Trucks with trailers must therefore be separated and occupy two platforms.

A titre d'exemple, le trafic routier en France étant constitué à plus de 70% par des ensembles articulés tracteurs et semi-remorques de 16,5 m de longueur, la longueur L des plates-formes du véhicule ferroviaire pour transport combiné rail-route de l'invention est limité à 16,9 m utiles.For example, over 70% of road traffic in France is made up of articulated tractor and semi-trailer combinations 16.5 m long, the length L of the platforms of the rail vehicle for combined rail- route of the invention is limited to 16.9 m useful.

De plus, l'entraxe E entre les pivots 6 de châssis 2 est réduit au maximum, par exemple à 17,4 m, du fait que les pivots 6 sont disposés en avant du premier essieu 3A des bogies 3 avec une reprise de charge C entre ce premier essieu 3A et un second essieu 3B du bogie 3.In addition, the center distance E between the pivots 6 of chassis 2 is reduced to the maximum, for example to 17.4 m, because the pivots 6 are arranged in front of the first axle 3A of the bogies 3 with a load recovery C between this first axle 3A and a second axle 3B of the bogie 3.

Un tel agencement est plus particulièrement représenté à la figure 3.Such an arrangement is more particularly shown in FIG. 3.

Conformément au mode de réalisation préféré représenté à la figure 4, le châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 est de préférence réalisé en mécano soudage et est composé de deux faces latérales 2A, 2B et de deux extrémités 2C en forme de sellettes.In accordance with the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 is preferably made by mechanical welding and is composed of two lateral faces 2A, 2B and two ends 2C in the form of harnesses.

Les deux extrémités 2C du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 prennent appui sur les châssis de bogie 3 au moyen de lisoirs 7.The two ends 2C of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 are supported on the bogie chassis 3 by means of sideboards 7.

Ces deux extrémités 2C du châssis 2 sont associés aux pivots 6 du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1.These two ends 2C of the chassis 2 are associated with the pivots 6 of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1.

La plate-forme mobile 4 est guidée latéralement par des montants verticaux 8 réalisés sur le châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 et repose en position basse sur toute la longueur des bords supérieurs des deux faces latérales 2A, 2B du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1.The mobile platform 4 is guided laterally by vertical uprights 8 produced on the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 and rests in the low position over the entire length of the upper edges of the two lateral faces 2A, 2B of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1.

Comme illustré par la figure 5, le déplacement vertical de la plate-forme mobile 4, et donc du véhicule routier 5 qu'il supporte, est obtenu au moyen de câbles 10 ou de chaînes ou de vis sans fin mus par exemple par des motoréducteurs 11 à commande électrique.As illustrated in FIG. 5, the vertical displacement of the mobile platform 4, and therefore of the road vehicle 5 which it supports, is obtained by means of cables 10 or chains or worms driven for example by gearmotors 11 electrically operated.

Le déplacement vertical de la plate-forme mobile 4 peut également être obtenu au moyen de vérins.The vertical displacement of the mobile platform 4 can also be obtained by means of jacks.

Il résulte des dispositions qui précèdent que le véhicule ferroviaire pour transport combiné rail-route de l'invention est à même de passer, avec son chargement et en courbe, dans le gabarit B+ cité ci-dessus.It follows from the foregoing provisions that the rail vehicle for combined rail-road transport of the invention is capable of passing, with its load and in a curve, in the gauge B + cited above.

Compte tenu des grandeurs données précédemment à titre d'exemple, le véhicule ferroviaire pour transport combiné rail-route est à même de passer, avec son chargement, dans des courbes de 500 m.Given the sizes given previously by way of example, the rail vehicle for combined rail-road transport is capable of passing, with its load, in curves of 500 m.

Il reste en partie haute une marge de + ou - 50 mm pour absorber les écarts de positionnement des véhicules routiers sur la plate-forme et les mouvements dynamiques en roulement.At the top, there is a margin of + or - 50 mm to absorb the differences in positioning of the road vehicles on the platform and the dynamic movements in rotation.

Le passage dans les courbes inférieures, dans le cas de l'exemple donné ci-dessus, à 500 m, nécessite la mise en place d'un élément de recentrage 12 du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 pour transport combiné rail-route dans le gabarit.The passage in the lower curves, in the case of the example given above, at 500 m, requires the installation of a refocusing element 12 of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 for combined rail-road transport in the template.

Les figures 6 et 7 montrent un mode de réalisation préféré d'un tel élément de recentrage 12 du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1.FIGS. 6 and 7 show a preferred embodiment of such a recentering element 12 of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1.

L'élément de recentrage 12 du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 et donc de la plate-forme mobile 4 est agencé autour du pivot 6 du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 de manière à permettre l'obtention d'un pivot flottant commandé latéralement par un élément de commande 13.The refocusing element 12 of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 and therefore of the mobile platform 4 is arranged around the pivot 6 of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 so as to allow obtaining a floating pivot controlled laterally by a control element 13.

Le pivot flottant 6 est fixé au châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 au moyen de deux paliers 14.The floating pivot 6 is fixed to the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 by means of two bearings 14.

Le pivot flottant 6 prend place dans une rotule 15.The floating pivot 6 takes place in a ball joint 15.

La rotule 15 est disposée dans une traverse 16 du bogie en extrémité du châssis 2 du véhicule ferroviaire 1 et est susceptible de coulisser radialement dans cette traverse.The ball 15 is disposed in a cross 16 of the bogie at the end of the chassis 2 of the rail vehicle 1 and is capable of sliding radially in this cross.

Le déplacement radial de la rotule 15 est obtenu, par exemple, au moyen d'un vérin.The radial displacement of the ball joint 15 is obtained, for example, by means of a jack.

La figure 8 illustre le chargement et le déchargement des véhicules routiers 5 sur le véhicule ferroviaire 1 pour transport combiné rail-route de l'invention.FIG. 8 illustrates the loading and unloading of road vehicles 5 on the rail vehicle 1 for combined rail-road transport of the invention.

Le chargement ou le déchargement des véhicule routiers 5 peut être fait simultanément à partir d'un quai de chargement 17 ou d'un quai de déchargement 18, respectivement.The loading or unloading of road vehicles 5 can be done simultaneously from a loading dock 17 or an unloading dock 18, respectively.

L'association d'au moins un véhicule ferroviaire 1 pour transport combiné rail-route selon l'invention et d'une voiture motrice VM constitue une rame 100 pour transport combiné rail-route.The combination of at least one rail vehicle 1 for combined rail-road transport according to the invention and a motor car V M constitutes a train 100 for combined rail-road transport.
