Abstract

An electrical contact coupling (3) is provided for automatic center- or central buffer couplings for rail vehicles, more particularly for claw couplings with protective arm, rotatable claw and fall bar of the "AAR" or "Janney" type or with two rigid claws and claw bar of the "Willison" type. The coupling has a contact carrier (8) secured to the coupling head and guided so as to be displaceable longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the center buffer coupling. An economic and flat-construction solution, indicated for a center- or central buffer coupling of the aforementioned type, for the design and arrangement of an electrical contact coupling (3) and an air line coupling (12) is achieved wherein the longitudinally displaceable contact carrier (8) is arranged underneath and on a supporting unit (1) which for its part is elastically supported on and secured to the coupling head underneath the said coupling head. At least one actuating cylinder (6) is arranged within the supporting unit (1) for the longitudinal displacement of the contact carrier (8). An air coupling (12) with an orifice (11) is arranged on the supporting unit (1) in the coupling plane.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Elektrokontaktkupplung für automatische Mittel- oder Mittelpufferkupplungen für Schienenfahrzeuge, insbesondere für Klauenkupplungen mit Schutzarm, drehbarer Klaue und Fallriegel, z. B. der Bauart „AAR" oder „Janney" oder mit zwei starren Klauen und Klauenriegel, z. B. der Bauart „Willison" mit einem am Kuppelkopf befestigten und in Längsrichtung der Mit- telpufferkupplung längsverschiebar geführten Kontaktträger.The invention relates to an electrical contact coupling for automatic central or central buffer couplings for rail vehicles, in particular for claw couplings with a protective arm, rotatable claw and latch bolt, for. B. the type "AAR" or "Janney" or with two rigid claws and claw bolts, z. B. of the "Willison" type with a contact carrier fastened to the coupling head and guided longitudinally displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the central buffer coupling.
Es sind Kabelkupplungen bekannt, die fest mit der mechanischen Kupplung verbunden sind (DE-PS 499 955 oder DE-PS 81 1 360), solche, die mit einem Befestigungsgelenk am Kuppelkopf nach vorn schwenkbar gelagert sind (DE-PS 927 445, DE-PS 10 34 681 oder DE-PS 10 21 407) und solche, die parallel zur Kuppungslängsachse an der mechanischen Kupplung verschiebbar angeordnet sind (DE 24 14 384 AI , DE-PS 10 71 743 oder DE-PS 10 20 361 ).Cable couplings are known which are fixedly connected to the mechanical coupling (DE-PS 499 955 or DE-PS 81 1 360), those which are pivotably mounted to the front with a fastening joint on the coupling head (DE-PS 927 445, DE- PS 10 34 681 or DE-PS 10 21 407) and those which are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the coupling on the mechanical coupling (DE 24 14 384 AI, DE-PS 10 71 743 or DE-PS 10 20 361).
Aus den letztgenannten Schriften sind Anordnungen mit oberhalb, seitlich oder unterhalb des Kuppelkopfs längsgeführten Kabelkupplungen bekannt. Grundsätzlich dienen die elektrischen Kabelkupplungen der Energie- und/oder Signalübertragung.Arrangements with longitudinally guided cable couplings above, laterally or below the coupling head are known from the latter documents. Basically, the electrical cable couplings are used for energy and / or signal transmission.
Im allgemeinen werden mit automatischen Mittelkupplungen bzw. Mittelpuffer- kupplungen bei Bedarf die Kabelkupplungen oft auch automatisch gekuppelt und/oder entkuppelt. Das Mitkuppeln von Leitungskupplungen, insbesondere von Elektrokabelkupplungen setzt voraus, daß die mechanische Kupplung ein starres oder starrgemachtes System darstellt, d. h. es ist eine starre und weitgehend spielfreie Kupplungsverbindung zwischen zwei Kupplungsköpfen erforder- lieh.In general, the cable couplings are often also coupled automatically with automatic central couplings or central buffer couplings, if required and / or uncoupled. The coupling of line couplings, in particular of electrical cable couplings, presupposes that the mechanical coupling constitutes a rigid or rigid system, ie a rigid and largely backlash-free coupling connection between two coupling heads is required.
Die Kuppelköpfe der mechanischen Kupplungen des genannten Stands der Technik weisen am vorderen Ende eine plane, quer zur Längsachse angeordnete Stoßfläche bzw. Stirnfläche auf, die mit der entsprechenden Stoßfläche der Gegenkupplung zur Anlage kommen. An bzw. in dieser Stoßfläche ist oft eine Luftleitungskupplung angeordnet, was z. B. in der DE 24 1 4 384 AI und DE-PS 1 0 20 361 dargestellt ist.The coupling heads of the mechanical couplings of the prior art mentioned have at the front end a flat abutting surface or end surface which is arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis and which comes into contact with the corresponding abutting surface of the mating coupling. An air line coupling is often arranged on or in this abutting surface, which, for. B. is shown in DE 24 1 4 384 AI and DE-PS 1 0 20 361.
Für bestimmte Bauarten von Mittelpufferkupplungen, insbesondere für die Klau- enkupplungen, z. B. der Bauart „AAR" oder „JANNEY" ist es schwierig, für eine mitzukuppelnde Leitungskupplungen eine einfach und günstige Ausbildung und Anordnung zu finden, da diese Bauarten keine quer zur Längsachse ausgerichtete Stirnfläche bzw. Stoßfläche am Kuppelende aufweisen. Auch führen die mechanischen Kuppelköpfe beim Kuppelvorgang Querbewegungen aus, die kom- pensiert werden müssen. Es sind zwar einige Lösungen mit eigenen Einrichtungen oder Trägern für Luftleitungskupplungen von Klauenkupplungen der Bauart „Willison" bekannt (beispielsweise aus der DE 1 7 55 354 C3, der DE 1 7 50 231 AI oder DE 1 6 05 205 AI ), oft stehen aber bei diesen vertikal hochbauenden Mittelpufferkupplungen die notwendigen Einbau- und Freiräume für das Anbrin- gen einer Luftleitungskupplung und/oder einer Elektrokontaktkupplung nicht zur Verfügung oder Lösungen sind nur mit erheblichem technischen oder wirtschaftlichen Aufwand und Schwierigkeiten oder Einschränkungen umsetzbar.For certain types of middle buffer clutches, especially for claw clutches, e.g. B. the type "AAR" or "JANNEY", it is difficult to find a simple and inexpensive design and arrangement for a line coupling to be coupled, since these types do not have a transverse end face or abutment surface at the dome end. The mechanical coupling heads also perform transverse movements during the coupling process that have to be compensated for. There are known some solutions with their own devices or supports for air line couplings of claw clutches of the "Willison" type (for example from DE 1 7 55 354 C3, DE 1 7 50 231 AI or DE 1 6 05 205 AI), but often are In the case of these vertically high-rise central buffer clutches, the necessary installation and free spaces for attaching an air line coupling and / or an electrical contact coupling are not available, or solutions can only be implemented with considerable technical or economic outlay and with difficulties or restrictions.

Unterhalb eines Kuppelkopfs (nicht dargestellt) einer automatischen Mittel- bzw. Mittelpufferkupplung ist eine Trageinheit 1 befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt über Elastomerblöcke 2, die eine fixierte, aber elastische Verbindung zwischen Kuppelkopf und Trageinheit 1 ermöglichen. Unterhalb der flachbauendenA support unit 1 is fastened below a coupling head (not shown) of an automatic central or central buffer coupling. The attachment is made via elastomer blocks 2, which allow a fixed but elastic connection between the coupling head and the support unit 1. Below the low-rise
Trageinheit 1 ist eine Elektrokontaktkupplung 3 in Kupplungstoßrichtung längsverschiebbar geführt. Die Elektrokontaktkupplung 3 ist mit Hilfe eines Fahrzeugschlittens 4, der auf zwei in Stoßlängsrichtung ausgerichtete Führungsstangen 5, die nebeneinander in der Trageinheit 1 befestigt sind, längsverschiebbar gehal- ten ist. Der Führungsschlitten 4 und damit die an ihm befestigt Elektrokon- tαktkupplung 3 ist mittels zweier, vorzugsweise pneumatisch beaufschlagter Betätigungszylinder 6 auf den Führungsstangen 3 verschiebbar. Über einen Hebelmechanismus 7 ist eine am Kontaktträger 8 horizontal verschwenkbar befestigte Schutzklappe 9 betätigbar, wobei in zurückgezogener Lage der Führungs- schütten 4 die Schutzklappe 9 vor den Kontaktträger 8 geschwenkt ist und in vorgeschobener, kuppelbereiter Lage nach unten verschwenkt ist. Das Verschwenken der Schutzklappe 9 erfolgt kontinuierlich mit der Längsbewegung des Führungsschlittens 4. Der Hebelmechanismus 7 kann durch eine Feder 10 gespannt werden. Am vorderen Ende in der senkrechten Längsmittelebene der Trageinheit 1 ist die Mündung 1 1 einer Luftleitungskupplung 1 2 angeordnet, die in der kuppelbereiten Lage in der Kuppelebene angeordnet ist.Carrying unit 1, an electrical contact coupling 3 is guided so as to be longitudinally displaceable in the coupling joint direction. The electrical contact coupling 3 is held in a longitudinally displaceable manner by means of a vehicle carriage 4 which is held on two guide rods 5 which are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the joint and which are fastened next to one another in the carrying unit 1. The guide carriage 4 and thus the electrical contacts attached to it Tαktkupplung 3 is displaceable on the guide rods 3 by means of two, preferably pneumatically actuated actuating cylinders 6. A protective flap 9 which can be pivoted horizontally on the contact carrier 8 can be actuated via a lever mechanism 7, the protective flap 9 being pivoted in front of the contact carrier 8 in the retracted position of the guide chutes 4 and being pivoted downwards in the advanced position ready for coupling. The protective flap 9 is pivoted continuously with the longitudinal movement of the guide carriage 4. The lever mechanism 7 can be tensioned by a spring 10. At the front end in the vertical longitudinal center plane of the support unit 1, the mouth 11 of an air line coupling 12 is arranged, which is arranged in the dome-ready position in the dome plane.
Die Trageinheit 1 ist flachbauend ausgebildet und weist eine geringere Höhenabmessung als der Kontaktträger 8 auf. Vorzugsweise ist die Höhe der Tragein- heit 1 nur etwa halb so groß wie die Höhe der Elektrokontaktkupplung 3 bemessen.The support unit 1 is of flat construction and has a smaller height dimension than the contact carrier 8. The height of the carrying unit 1 is preferably only about half the size of the height of the electrical contact coupling 3.

„Janney" (mit Schutzarm und drehbarer Klaue und Fallriegel) oder Willison (zwei starre Klauen und ein Klauenriegel) zu verwirklichen, ist die Luftleitungskupplung 1 2 quasi in der Trageinheit 1 für die Elektrokonaktkupplung 3 integriert. Die Trageinheit 1 nimmt gleichzeitig platzsparend die horizontal nebeneinander angeordneten Betätigungzylinder 6 auf.To implement "Janney" (with protective arm and rotatable claw and latch bolt) or Willison (two rigid claws and a claw bolt), the air line coupling 1 2 is virtually integrated in the support unit 1 for the electrical contact coupling 3. The support unit 1 also takes up the horizontally next to each other to save space arranged actuating cylinder 6.

An der Trαgeinheit sind Zentrierorgαne 1 3 zur Vorzentrierung der Trαgeinheit 1 und damit der mit ihr verbundenen Elektrokontaktkupplung 3 angeordnet. Am Kontaktträger 8 sind weitere Zentrierorgane 14 zur Feinzentrierung angeordnet.The vertical distance A between the horizontal median longitudinal plane of the air line coupling 1 2, which speaks approximately to the horizontal median longitudinal plane of the support unit 1 itself, and the horizontal median longitudinal plane of the contact carrier 8 is approximately 160 mm. Centering organs 1 3 for precentering the carrier unit 1 and thus the electrical contact coupling 3 connected to it are arranged on the carrier unit. Further centering elements 14 for fine centering are arranged on the contact carrier 8.
Die Zentrierorgane 13, 14 sind jeweils durch einen Zentrierdorn 13a, 14a und eine Zentrierbuchse 1 3b, 14b gebildet, wobei jeweils ein Zentrierdorn 1 3a, 14a in die Zentrierbuchsen 1 3b, 14b der Gegenkupplung beim Kuppelvorgang, d. h. beim jeweiligen Längsbewegen bzw. Längsverschieben der Trageinheit 1 und der Elektrokonaktkupplung 3 greift.The centering members 13, 14 are each formed by a centering pin 13a, 14a and a centering bushing 1 3b, 14b, with one centering pin 1 3a, 14a in each of the centering bushings 1 3b, 14b of the mating coupling during the coupling process, i.e. H. each time the longitudinal movement or longitudinal displacement of the support unit 1 and the electrical contact coupling 3 engages.

Somit sind auf jeder Seite von der senkrechten Längsmittelebene jeweils ein Zentrierdorn 1 3a oder aber 14a und eine Zentrierbuchse 14b oder aber 1 3b untereinander angeord- net.The arrangement of the centering members 1 3 and 14 is expedient such that the centering mandrel 1 3a for precentering on the support unit 1 on the same side to the vertical central longitudinal plane is assigned a centering bush 14b on the contact carrier 8 and that the centering bush 1 3b for precentering the support unit 1 a centering mandrel 14a for fine centering on the contact carrier 8 is assigned to the other side of the vertical longitudinal center plane. A centering mandrel 1 3a or 14a and a centering bush 14b or 1 3b are thus arranged on each side of the vertical longitudinal center plane.
