Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tilting device for generating track-dependent a car body inclination in rail vehicles, with a coupling device, with which the car body is movably connected to a chassis in this way is that the car body moves from an essentially upright position to a relative to the chassis inclined position can be transferred, and with a drive and an adjusting device having a transmission device with which the Car body for transferring from its rest position to its inclined position opposite the chassis is movable.
  • tilting devices are known from the prior art. You will be in so-called “tilting trains” used. It is a special design of passenger cars, the construction of which allows the car body to rotate or “tilt” relative to a chassis about its longitudinal axis. By this tendency is to be the lateral acceleration acting on the passengers when cornering be largely compensated. In addition to a noticeable improvement in comfort for But above all, it creates the opportunity for travelers to use very curved tracks to be able to drive through much faster than normal trains due to the EBO (Railway Construction and Operating Regulations) would be permissible, which is particularly important in winding routes can achieve a significant gain in travel time.

  • the transmission device has a transmission with a variable transmission ratio, the transmission ratio of the transmission when moving the car body from its rest position to its inclined position Position with increasing angle of inclination of the car body relative to the chassis grows.
  • This solution is simple and has the advantage that with increasing inclination forces a correspondingly larger translation is provided, so that already a clear small-sized drive is sufficient to be able to absorb large forces.
  • the translation is lower and grows at low angles of inclination with increasing angles of inclination.
  • a small translation with small tilt angles is desirable because it reduces the gearbox losses and thus the small restoring forces safely return the car body to the uninclined starting position can. Since now with comparable forces due to the angle of inclination a drive that is smaller in terms of the required continuous output is sufficient, this affects both the drive itself and the power electronics and the lines. This allows the tilting device to be significantly less expensive shape.
