Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • middle buffer clutches especially for claw clutches, e.g. B. the type "AAR” or "JANNEY"
  • AAR a simple and inexpensive design and arrangement for a line coupling to be coupled
  • JANNEY a simple and inexpensive design and arrangement for a line coupling to be coupled
  • the mechanical coupling heads also perform transverse movements during the coupling process that have to be compensated for.
  • the invention is based on the object of an automatic central or central buffer coupling of the type mentioned, in particular for claw show couplings, an economical and low-profile solution for the formation and arrangement of an electrical contact coupling and an air line coupling.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of an electrical contact coupling with a support unit in the uncoupled position
  • FIG. 2 shows the electrical contact coupling according to FIG. 1 in a position ready for coupling and advanced
  • Fig. 3 shows the electrical contact coupling according to Fig. 2 in front view.
  • a 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.
  • 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 T ⁇ ktkupplung 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.
  • the mouth 11 of an air line coupling 12 is arranged, which is arranged in the dome-ready position in the dome plane.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • centering members 1 3 and 14 are 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.
  • the electrical contacts 15 are arranged in the contact mirror according to a certain scheme, largely in one plane and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the coupling.
  • the last vertical row of the contacts 15 of the contact carrier 8 on both sides of the vertical longitudinal center plane of the electrical contact coupling are arranged at a distance B of approximately 11 mm from the longitudinal center plane, with a compact design of the contact carrier 8 being possible with a predetermined number of contacts of 88 contacts 1 5 .
  • the contact mirror is also designed with special data bus contacts 1 5 b and CCTV contacts 1 5 b (multimedia and television).
  • Twelve data bus / CC contacts 15b are arranged in the contact mirror of the contact carrier 8, five data bus / CCTV contacts 15b being arranged horizontally in the upper and lower edge region of the contact carrier 8 and four data bus / CCTV contacts 15b in the Middle perpendicular are arranged, the top data bus / CCTV contact 1 5b of this vertical row identical to the middle data bus / CCTV contact 15b of the upper horizontal row and the bottom data bus / CCTN contact 1 5b of the vertical row identical to that middle data bus / CCTV contact 1 5b of the lower horizontal row is such that in the front view there is a contact image in the form of a horizontal H arrangement of the data bus / CCTV contacts 1 5b.
  • the distance C between the top and bottom rows of data bus / CCTV contacts 15b is approx. 1 1 2 mm.
  • the distance D between the extreme left and the extreme right data bus / CCTN contact 15 b on the contact mirror of the contact carrier 8 is approximately 21 9 mm.
  • Centering device ⁇ centering mandrel b centering bushing ⁇ centering mandrel b centering bushing
