Abstract

The connector (3) connects the wagon boxes (I, II) of closed rail vehicle units to each other. The connector, based on the principle of a rubber bellows, is fitted into the wagon box structure cross section. The power transmission is arranged so that when a specified load limit is overstepped, reversibly and irreversibly deformable regions of the device are pulled together in a controlled deformation, augmented by the energy absorption zones of the wagon box ends. The ends (1, 2) of the wagon boxes are made in the form of ring frames.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verbinden von Wagenkästen oder ähnlichen Bestandteilen einer Zuggarnitur, vorzugsweise von Fahrzeugen des Schienen-Personenverkehrs.The invention relates to a device for connecting car bodies or the like Components of a train set, preferably of rail passenger vehicles.

Wagenkastenverbindungen nach dem bekannten Stand der Technik bestehen im allgemeinen aus den dem jeweiligen Verwendungszweck zugeordneten Baugruppen. Dies sind Zug - und Stoßeinrichtungen zur Zug - und Druckkraftübertragung bzw. Stoßenergieaufnahme, elektrische, pneumatische und hydraulische Verbindungen, Übergangseinrichtungen für Personen sowie Sondereinrichtungen, z. B. zur Gewährleistung bestimmter Anforderungen an den Fahrkomfort. Mit der Zuordnung bestimmter zweckentsprechender Funktionen auf die einzelnen Baugruppen sind diesen in der technischen Weiterentwicklung Grenzen gesetzt. Vorrangig betrifft dies die Beseitigung des Nachteils der punktuellen Zug- und Druckkraftübertragung zwischen den Wagenkästen, die in bezug auf deren Strukturquerschnitt zudem noch exentrisch erfolgt. Die Wagenkastenverbindungen von freizügig einstellbaren Schienenfahrzeugen müssen technisch und betrieblich kompatibel sein und den internationalen Vereinbarungen entsprechen, die abweichende technische Lösungen ausschließen. Wagenkastenverbindungen geschlossener Schienenfahrzeugeinheiten, z. B. Triebzüge, weisen dagegen trotz notwendiger technischer und betrieblicher Kompatibilität einen erheblichen Gestaltungsspielraum auf. Dieser wurde bisher nur partiell genutzt und in der Regel auf die Ausschöpfung des Vorteils beschränkt, daß die Schienenfahrzeuge allenfalls in einer Werkstatt getrennt werden müssen.
Mögliche Funktionskoppelungen werden nur partiell angewendet, z. B. bei Wagenkastenaufhängungen, Gelenkkupplungen sowie Neigeeinrichtungen von Triebzügen und anderen Schienenfahrzeugeinheiten. In der EP 0 343 483 wird ein Kupplungsgelenk zwischen zwei Eisenbahnwagen beschrieben. Es verbindet, getragen von einem Drehgestell, zwei Wagenkästen derart miteinander, daß über eine zylindrische Achse und eine kegelstumpfförmige Platte Zug-, Druck- und Neigungskräfte aufgenommen werden. Das hat den Nachteil, daß die Kräfte hierbei punktuell auftreten und sich so nicht auf die gesamte Stirnfläche des Wagenkastens verteilen können. Ähnliche Verhältnisse sind in der DE OS 44 22 109 und DE OS 44 22 581 dargestellt. Bei der kuppelbaren Fahrwerksanordnung und der Verbindungseinrichtung benachbarter Wagenkästen treten die Kräfte an bestimmten Punkten auf und lassen sich nicht auf weitere Flächen verteilen. Auch bei Übergangseinrichtungen, wie in der OS 31 24 779 und der PS 34 01 555 beschrieben, kann infolge der funktionellen Anordnung keine Weiterverteilung der Kräfte erfolgen. In der PS-US 3,678,863 ist ein Gelenkeisenbahnwagen beschrieben, bei dem die Wagenkästen durch eine in einer vertikalen Ebene angeordneten Gelenkonstruktion verbunden sind. Diese bewirkt zwar in Bezug auf die fachwerkförmigen Fahrzeuggerippe eine Zwei-Punkt-Krafteinleitung, ist jedoch für Wagenkästen von Fahrzeugen des Schienenpersonenverkehrs funktionell nicht anwendbar. Car body connections according to the known prior art generally consist of the assemblies assigned to the respective intended use. These are pulling and pushing devices for the transmission of tractive and compressive force or shock energy, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic connections, transition devices for people as well as special devices, e.g. B. to ensure certain requirements for driving comfort. With the assignment of certain appropriate functions to the individual modules, there are limits to their further technical development. This primarily concerns the elimination of the disadvantage of selective transmission of tractive and compressive force between the car bodies, which is also carried out eccentrically with regard to their structural cross section. The bodywork connections of freely adjustable rail vehicles must be technically and operationally compatible and comply with international agreements that exclude deviating technical solutions. Car body connections of closed rail vehicle units, e.g. B. multiple units, on the other hand, despite the necessary technical and operational compatibility, have considerable scope for design. So far, this has been used only partially and generally limited to the advantage that the rail vehicles may have to be separated in a workshop.
Possible functional linkages are only partially used, e.g. B. in car suspensions, articulated couplings and tilting devices of multiple units and other rail vehicle units. EP 0 343 483 describes a coupling joint between two railroad cars. Carried by a bogie, it connects two car bodies with one another in such a way that tensile, compressive and inclined forces are absorbed via a cylindrical axis and a frustoconical plate. This has the disadvantage that the forces occur here selectively and cannot be distributed over the entire end face of the car body. Similar relationships are shown in DE OS 44 22 109 and DE OS 44 22 581. In the case of the detachable chassis arrangement and the connecting device for adjacent car bodies, the forces occur at certain points and cannot be distributed over further areas. Even with transition devices, as described in OS 31 24 779 and PS 34 01 555, no further distribution of the forces can take place due to the functional arrangement. In PS-US 3,678,863 an articulated railroad car is described in which the car bodies are connected by an articulated structure arranged in a vertical plane. Although this causes a two-point force transmission in relation to the truss-shaped vehicle frame, it cannot be used functionally for car bodies of vehicles used for passenger rail transport.

Das Ziel der Erfindung besteht darin, insbesondere für geschlossene Schienenfahrzeugeinheiten die Möglichkeiten einer auf den Wagenkastenquerschnitt abgestimmten Zug- und Druckkraftübertragung zu nutzen und damit eine Voraussetzung für wirtschaftliche Schienenfahrzeugkonfigurationen zu schaffen, die eine weitere Entwicklung des technischen und Sicherheitsstandards gestatten.The aim of the invention is, in particular for closed rail vehicle units the possibilities of a tailored to the body cross-section To use tensile and compressive force transmission and thus a prerequisite for to create economical rail vehicle configurations that further development of the technical and safety standards.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wagenkastenverbindung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die bei Vermeidung der Mängel des Standes der Technik im Regel-Lastbereich die betrieblich auftretenden Zug-, Druck- bzw. Stoßbelastungen einschließlich der Stoßenergie zwischen den Wagenkästen aufnimmt und die Reaktionskräfte weitgehend gleichmäßig auf deren Struktur überträgt, die im Überlastbereich, z. B. infolge Kollision, eine stufenweise Energieabsorptions- sowie Crashfähigkeit aufweist und dabei das Aufklettern bzw. Ausbrechen einzelner Schienenfahrzeuge verhindert und im Sinne einer Funktionsintegration weitere an eine Wagenkastenverbindung zu stellende Anforderungen, wie Druckertüchtigung, Schall- und Wärmedämmung sowie den ungehinderten Übergang von Personen erfüllt.The invention has for its object a car body connection of the beginning to create the type mentioned, while avoiding the deficiencies of the state of Technology in the control load range the operationally occurring tensile, compressive or shock loads including the impact energy between the car bodies and transmits the reaction forces largely evenly to their structure, which in the Overload range, e.g. B. due to collision, a gradual energy absorption and Has crash ability and the climbing or breaking out of individual rail vehicles prevented and in the sense of functional integration further to one Car body connection requirements, such as printer improvement, sound and Thermal insulation and the unimpeded transition of people fulfilled.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen den ringspantähnlichen Enden der Wagenkästen, bei einem gemeinsamen Fahrwerk oberhalb dessen, eine dem Profil des Wagenkasten-Strukturquerschnitts angepaßte ringförmige, dem Prinzip des Gummibalges einer Luftfeder ähnliche Vorrichtung eingesetzt wird, welche in Wirkverbindung mit den in einem definierten Abstand gehaltenen Enden der Wagenkästen steht und deren belastungs- und fahrwegsbedingte Relativbewegungen ermöglicht. Die mechanische, pneumatische und / oder hydraulische Druckkraftübertragung ist passiv oder aktiv wirkend in Bezug auf die zu übertragenden Drucklasten so abgestimmt, daß nach Überschreitung definierter Belastungsgrenzen je eines reversibel und eines irreversibel verformbaren Bereiches die als zusätzliche Energieabsorptionszonen ausgebildeten Wagenkastenenden zu einer kontrollierten Verformung herangezogen werden.
Die Zugkraftübertragung wird entweder durch eine gummibalgähnliche Vorrichtung in Verbindung mit in deren Wandung integrierten Übertragungselementen selbst oder von zusätzlichen, an sich bekannten und den geometrischen Verhältnissen der Vorrichtung angepaßten mechanischen Zuggliedern unter Gewährleistung der belastungs- und fahrwegsbedingten Relativbewegungen der Wagenkastenenden übernommen. Die Wirkverbindung zwischen der Vorrichtung und den ringspantähnlichen Enden der Wagenkästen ist druckdicht und ferner so auszuführen , daß mittels integrierter Schnittstellen die gewünschten elektrischen, pneumatischen und / oder hydraulische Leitungen gekuppelt werden.According to the invention the object is achieved in that between the ring-frame-like ends of the car bodies, with a common chassis above it, an annular, adapted to the profile of the car body structural cross section, the principle of the rubber bellows of an air spring device is used, which in operative connection with the in a ends at a defined distance from the ends of the car bodies and enables their relative movements caused by load and travel path. The mechanical, pneumatic and / or hydraulic pressure force transmission is passive or active in relation to the pressure loads to be transmitted so that after exceeding defined load limits, one reversible and one irreversibly deformable area, the ends of the car body designed as additional energy absorption zones are used for a controlled deformation.
The traction is transmitted either by a device similar to a rubber bellows in conjunction with transmission elements integrated into the wall thereof, or by additional mechanical tension members which are known per se and are adapted to the geometrical conditions of the device, while ensuring the relative movements of the ends of the car body which are caused by load and travel. The operative connection between the device and the ring-frame-like ends of the car bodies is pressure-tight and is also to be carried out in such a way that the desired electrical, pneumatic and / or hydraulic lines are coupled by means of integrated interfaces.

Die durch die Vorrichtung 3 im definierten Abstand a gehaltenen Enden 1 und 2 der Wagenkästen I und II sind infolge der elastischen Eigenschaften des Werkstoffs 5 und der Übertragungselemente 6 der Vorrichtung 3 in der Lage, belastungs- und fahrwegbedingte Relativbewegungen zueinander auszuführen. Die Energieaufnahme infolge Zug- und Druckkraftbelastungen bzw. Schwingungen erfolgt durch Verformung der als Formfeder ausgeführten Bereiche 7 der Übertragungselemente 6 unter Ausnutzung der inneren Reibung des mit in die Verformung einbezogenen Werkstoffs 5 innerhalb vorgegebener Belastungsgrenzen reversibel und nach deren Überschreitung irreversibel. Die Verbindungselemente 4 gestatten den Austausch der nach irreversibler Verformung unbrauchbar gewordenen Vorrichtung 3. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 3 gestattet es ferner, durch die gleichmäßige Stoßenergieeinleitung in die Wagenkästen I und II den ringspantähnlichen Enden 1 und 2 zusätzliche Verformungsbereiche 8 und 9 zuzuordnen, die auf eine verhältnismäßig geringe Verformungslänge L zur Aufnahme weiterer Stoßenergie, z. B. im Kollisionsfall, in der Lage sind. Zur Integration der für den Zugbetrieb erforderlichen elektrischen, pneumatischen und hydraulischen Übertragungsleitungen in die Wagenkastenverbindung weist die Vorrichtung 3 eine oder mehrere den Erfordernissen angemessene Durchörterungen 10 auf, die mit nicht näher dargestellten Kuppeleinrichtungen als Schnittstellen für eine einfache Montage kombiniert werden können.
