Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for inclining a suspension a chassis-supported car body of a rail vehicle by one Longitudinal vehicle axis, which includes a roll support.
  • Improvements in comfort for passengers to be transported and higher cornering speeds for the purpose of shortening the journey time are the goals of actively influencing the inclination of the car body relative to the track to be traveled during cornering.
  • Parameters such as radius of curvature, vehicle speed and track elevation form the basis for an active car body inclination.
  • a variety of known devices for tilting a car body e.g. B. from DE 28 39 904 A1 or EP 0 683 081 A1, writes by their specified Geometry (pendulum or taxiway) a fixed and not always optimal rotating pole track in front.
  • one Implementation of existing tilt systems on single wheel / single wheel set bogies very complex and of problems due to additional moments around the connecting Accompanying the wheel center axis, especially when reaching low heights should be.
  • a certain idling from a central position of the car body should be variably adjustable in the transverse direction until the transverse suspension becomes effective, in order to achieve an earlier or later response of the transverse suspension and Cross and the roll movements better to couple.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a device of the aforementioned Type of inclination of a car body in relation to the running gear of a rail vehicle, in particular with regard to the roll support and roll stability.
  • this object is characterized by that in claim 1 Tilt device released.
  • the invention is based on two exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing explains in more detail.
  • the inventive device shown in Figures 1 to 5 shows the chassis 1 only schematically.
  • the device can be used with single wheel / single wheel set or multi wheel set undercarriages, but can be used particularly advantageously with single wheel / single wheel set undercarriages.
  • the angle lever 4 has a first lever 4a and a second lever 4b.
  • the position of the angle lever 4 should be fixed in the plane of the connecting wheel center axis in the case of single wheel / single wheel set bogies, in order not to transmit any additional moments about the wheel center axis to the frame of the chassis 1.
  • the angle lever 4 connects an actuator 3, 11 articulated thereon to a tension-pressure element 5 which is articulated at the lower end of the angle lever 4 on the first lever arm 4a.
  • the actuators 3, 11 are arranged parallel to the secondary suspension 2 and provide a connection between the Angle levers 4 and the car body 8 ago.
  • the pull-pressure elements 5 in turn connect the angle lever 4 with a support element 6, which is designed as a torsion bar spring in the exemplary embodiments, but is also conceivable in another embodiment.
  • the support element 6 is mounted so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the chassis essentially longitudinally to the direction of travel in the chassis 1 or in the body 8. An arrangement of the support element 6 in the vertical direction of the undercarriage 1 is also possible and in particular enables the entire device to be flatter.
  • lever arms 6a are fastened to the support element 6 at a distance from one another, the lever arms 6a being arranged opposite one another with respect to the axis of rotation of the support element 6.
  • the lever arms 6a are advantageously attached point-symmetrically or mirror-symmetrically to the axis of rotation of the support element 6 and establish the connection from the tension-compression elements 5 to the support element 6.
  • An active transverse displacement with an integrated transverse suspension is realized in the middle between the body 8 and the chassis 1 with the aid of a hydraulic actuator 7 (FIGS. 3 and 4). The aim is to achieve the best possible rotating pole position.
  • the support element 6 Due to the point-symmetrical arrangement of the lever arms 6a, the support element 6 is set in an unobstructed rotation. An independent swaying of the car body 8 is prevented in contrast to the vertical deflection. The car body 8 tries to turn the angle levers 4 parallel to the roll direction about their articulation points. Due to the same direction of rotation of the angle lever 4, an opposite rotation about the axis of the support element 6 is initiated via the tension / compression elements 5 and, depending on the overall spring stiffness, the smallest possible roll angle is permitted. This process, which opposes the rolling movement, serves to actively tilt the car body 8 as a support plane for the lateral actuators 3, 11.
  • the device according to the invention is of a similar type Anti-roll support shown using an electric actuator 10.
  • the electric actuator 10 is fixed in or on the chassis 1 and can Transverse displacement of the car body 8 parallel to its active inclination produce.
  • the active inclination Racks are also in or on the chassis 1 stored and can be moved translationally in the transverse direction to the vehicle.
  • Two gears 9 mounted on the angle levers 4 each contain one on one Fixed shaft pair of gears. This arrangement is intended to change the Direction of movement and a path translation can be realized. It means that a horizontal movement of a first rack by a distance y in a vertical Movement of a second rack by a path x can be converted should.
  • the path ratio x / y is dependent on parameters such as the max. required Force, the available travel and the force of the electric Actuator 10 dependent. After a determination of the use of the tilting device optimal rotation pole path can be coordinated accordingly the translatory and rotary transverse movement via the gear 9 and the of the electric actuator 10 take place.
  • a transverse spring can be integrated in the driver 13 for the car body 8 his.
  • the weight of the car body 8 is absorbed by the secondary suspension 2 and therefore does not burden the elements of the tilting device.
  • the Secondary suspension 2 as air spring is a more central three-point support too recommend, because with full inclination very high vertical paths on the outside of the Car body would have to be compensated for by the air springs.
  • the one through the middle The resulting higher roll tendency is compensated for by the roll support and secured by means of a fallback level to be explained in more detail.
  • the optimal, effective inclination angle controlled, a distance measurement being provided on the actuating device can and thus there is a direct feedback of the actual values.
  • the tilting device based on this invention is largely independent of a possible control or regulation.
  • control stands for systems which work on the basis of knowledge of the route. Are against it Measured values from accelerations or changes in position on the vehicle provide the information basis for the necessary control devices, this is a regulation meant.
  • the fallback level of the system is a special one Weight too. This means that for an emergency operation if the working group fails or the control or regulating circuit special devices come into play have to.
  • the car body starting position is preferably with to aim and fix at an angle of inclination of 0 °. Hydraulic are suitable for this Solutions or a mechanically non-positive or positive Locking, then the secondary suspension to achieve the car body starting position 2 is actively used and then locked. A constant measurement of the position of the drive elements or a force or Pressure measurement shows an irregularity in the system function and the Take necessary measures to achieve the fallback level. In the locked Position of both actuators 3, 11, the vehicle can larger without hesitation Continue driving because the mechanical anti-roll device is still fully functional and works unaffected by the system failure.
  • the inclination of the car body 8 is based on a support of the actuators 3, 11 via the connecting elements (angle lever 4, tension / pressure element 5, lever arm 6a) on the support element 6. It must be noted that through the series connection from the actuator 3, 11 to the support element 6 and the resulting Summation of the individual spring stiffness the total spring stiffness is designed that with active change in length of the actuators 3, 11 only an acceptable inclination compensation entry. Here is the elastic deformation of the support and connecting elements not to be neglected. The size of the resulting total spring stiffness could lead to the required spring stiffness of the Support element 6 can be designed very small and thus the support element 6 essentially only takes on the function of a joint with negation characteristics.
  • the train pressure elements 5 must be in order for the kinematics to function correctly the same angle to the track plane can be arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other and also form an articulated unit with the angle lever 4
  • the train-push elements 5 can be arranged by means of symmetrical kinematics the facility, thanks to its pendulum support characteristics with a constant Act line of action act on the lever arms 6a of the support member 6.
  • a deflection of the chassis 1 relative to the car body 8 has a particular effect on the angle levers 4, as these have variable-length connecting elements 3, 11 a connection between car body 8 and chassis 1 cause. Therefore, the support of the variable-length connecting element 3, 11 on the angle lever 4 with joints, which have at least two degrees of freedom allow to be realized.
  • actuators 7, 10 There are different ways of realizing the active bodywork movement of actuators 7, 10 conceivable, with a realization of both in Figures 2 and 3 Types of movement (translation and rotation) via hydraulic actuators 7, and in Figures 4 and 5 a realization of electrical actuators 10 schematically and is shown as an example.
  • the side, length-variable actuators 3, 11 cause the tilting movement and are based on the rotary lever 4 rotatably mounted on the chassis 1 and Train-pressure elements 5 from the lever arms 6a on the support element 6. Change in the process the angle lever 4 transmit the direction of movement of the side actuators 3, 11 and thus the forces and movements via the tension-compression elements 5 and the lever arms 6a on the support element 6.
  • a device with one-sided training of the adjusting device is also possible, whereby fewer components are used in a simpler control can.
  • the load on the actuator 3, 11 remains the same because of the support element 6 will set an equilibrium of moments.
  • the starting position is marked by the middle position of the actuators 3, 11 described.
  • the present invention is characterized by a combination of a roll support with an active transverse tilting device in a rail vehicle, with one in the car body 8 or in the chassis 1 supported support element 6, wherein the car body 8 compared to the load-bearing chassis 1 via at least one variable-length, adjustable actuator 3, 11 supports for the purpose of inclination.
