Abstract

The structure of the cabin is supported by the bogie, and is connected to a control system which controls the cabin in an angular position with respect to the bogie. The control system ensures the rotation of the cabin towards the inside of the curve of the track, and is controlled by the movement of the adjacent carriage (2) with respect to the bogie. The railway vehicle (1) comprises an end carriage (2) which is extended by the addition of a cabin (3). The carriage (2) and the cabin (3) have separate structures but their adjacent ends are mounted to pivot on the same bogie (5). The structure of the cabin is supported by the bogie, and is connected to a control system which controls the cabin in an angular position with respect to the bogie. The control system ensures the rotation of the cabin towards the inside of the curve of the track, and is controlled by the movement of the adjacent carriage (2) with respect to the bogie. The cabin and adjacent carriage may be mounted to turn about a common axis on the bogie, and may be connected by a mechanical linkage to provide the appropriate angular adjustment as they follow a curve in the track.

Description

L'invention se rapporte aux véhicules ferroviaires et plus particulièrement aux véhicules ferroviaires comportant une voiture d'extrémité se prolongeant par une cabine.The invention relates to railway vehicles and more particularly to railway vehicles comprising an end car extended by a cabin.

Il est connu dans le domaine ferroviaire, et notamment pour les tramways, d'avoir des cabines de pilotage qui soient soudées ou boulonnées au bout de la voiture d'extrémité. De telles cabines sont généralement en porte-à-faux par rapport à l'axe de rotation du bogie et présentent l'inconvénient, lorsque la voiture s'engage dans une courbe, d'être déportées vers l'extérieur de la courbe. Or, un problème général qui se pose pour tout véhicule ferroviaire, est de respecter les gabarits établis des voies ferrées.It is known in the railway sector, and in particular for trams, to have cockpits that are welded or bolted to the end of the car end. Such cabins are generally cantilevered with respect to the axis of rotation of the bogie and have the disadvantage, when the car engages in a curve, to be offset towards the outside of the curve. Now a general problem which arises for any railway vehicle, is to respect the established templates of railways.

Une solution connue pour limiter le déport de la cabine dans les courbes consiste à positionner les bogies au plus près de l'extrémité de la voiture. Toutefois, une telle solution présente l'inconvénient d'augmenter le déport du milieu de la voiture vers l'intérieur de la courbe et donc d'augmenter l'emprise au sol du véhicule dans les courbes.A known solution for limiting the offset of the cabin in curves consists in position the bogies as close as possible to the end of the car. However, such solution has the disadvantage of increasing the offset from the middle of the car to inside the curve and therefore increase the vehicle's footprint within curves.

Une autre solution connue pour limiter le déport de la cabine dans les courbes consiste à dessiner des cabines de forme convergente, dont les côtés sont affûtés afin de rester dans les limites du gabarit lorsque la voiture est en courbe. Toutefois, une telle solution présente l'inconvénient de réduire le volume de la cabine et de compliquer sa réalisation.Another known solution for limiting the offset of the cabin in curves consists of drawing convergent cabins, the sides of which are sharpened so to stay within the limits of the gauge when the car is on a curve. However, a such a solution has the disadvantage of reducing the volume of the cabin and complicate its realization.

L'objet de la présente invention est donc de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un véhicule ferroviaire comportant une voiture d'extrémité qui se prolonge par une cabine dont l'emprise au sol est optimisée dans les virages afin de rester dans le gabarit de la voie et permettre ainsi l'utilisation d'une cabine possédant une largeur identique au gabarit du véhicule sur sensiblement toute la longueur de la cabine ou l'utilisation d'une cabine rallongée. The object of the present invention is therefore to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a railway vehicle comprising an end car which extends by a cabin whose footprint is optimized when cornering in order to stay in the gauge of the track and thus allow the use of a cabin having a width identical to the vehicle gauge over substantially the entire length of the cabin or the use of an extended cabin.

L'invention s'applique de préférence aux tramways pour lesquels le problème d'encombrement de la cabine dans les courbes est accentué par la nécessité d'emprunter des courbes serrées.The invention preferably applies to trams for which the problem space requirement in the curves is accentuated by the need to take tight curves.

L'invention a pour objet un véhicule ferroviaire comportant une voiture d'extrémité se prolongeant par une cabine, caractérisé en ce que la voiture et la cabine possèdent des structures séparées dont les extrémités adjacentes sont montées pivotantes sur un même bogie, la structure de la cabine étant supportée par le seul bogie en étant montée en porte-à-faux, la cabine étant reliée à des moyens de commande du positionnement angulaire de la cabine par rapport au bogie.The subject of the invention is a rail vehicle comprising an end car extending by a cabin, characterized in that the car and the cabin have separate structures, the adjacent ends of which are pivotally mounted on a same bogie, the cabin structure being supported by the only bogie being mounted cantilever, the cabin being connected to means for controlling the angular positioning of the cab relative to the bogie.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de commande assurent la rotation, vers l'intérieur de la courbe, de la cabine par rapport au boggie en étant asservi au mouvement de rotation de la voiture adjacente par rapport audit bogie.According to another characteristic of the invention, the control means ensure the rotation, towards the inside of the curve, of the cabin with respect to the bogie being subject to the rotational movement of the adjacent car with respect to said bogie.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la voiture et la cabine sont montées pivotantes par rapport à un même axe porté par le bogie.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the car and the cabin are pivotally mounted with respect to the same axis carried by the bogie.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de commande sont constitués par des éléments mécaniques reliant la cabine à la voiture adjacente.According to another characteristic of the invention, the control means are constituted by mechanical elements connecting the cabin to the adjacent car.

Pour faciliter la lecture du dessin, seuls les éléments nécessaires à la compréhension de l'invention ont été représentés. Les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références d'une figure à l'autre.To make the drawing easier to read, only the elements necessary for understanding of the invention have been shown. The same elements have the same references from one figure to another.

La figure 1 représente un véhicule ferroviaire 1, de type tramway, comportant deux voitures 2 passager reliées entre elles par un bogie 4 pouvant pivoter par rapport à la structure des voitures 2. Les voitures 2 se prolongent en tête et en queue du tramway 1 par une cabine 3 possédant une structure indépendante de la structure des voitures 2. La structure de la cabine 3 est supportée par un seul bogie 5 muni de deux essieux, ce dernier supportant également l'extrémité de la voiture 2 adjacente, et est montée en porte-à-faux sur le bogie 5 de façon à être déportée sur l'avant du bogie 5.FIG. 1 represents a rail vehicle 1, of the tramway type, comprising two 2 passenger cars connected together by a bogie 4 which can pivot relative to the structure of cars 2. Cars 2 extend at the head and tail of the tram 1 by a cab 3 having a structure independent of the structure cars 2. The structure of cabin 3 is supported by a single bogie 5 provided with two axles, the latter also supporting the end of the adjacent car 2, and is mounted cantilever on the bogie 5 so as to be offset on the front of the bogie 5.

Les structures de la cabine 3 et de la voiture 2 adjacente sont articulées autour d'un même axe 8 disposé au centre du bogie 5 et permettant le pivotement de la voiture 2 et de la cabine 3 de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal du bogie 5. Des soufflets en accordéon, représentés schématiquement sur la figure 1, sont disposés en bordure des bogies 4 et 5 afin d'effectuer l'habillage de la zone d'intercirculation et des amortisseurs, non représentés, sont éventuellement rapportés de façon à amortir le mouvement des voitures 2 et des cabines 3.The structures of cabin 3 and the adjacent car 2 are articulated around a same axis 8 arranged in the center of the bogie 5 and allowing the pivoting of the car 2 and of the cabin 3 on either side of the longitudinal axis of the bogie 5. Bellows in accordion, shown schematically in Figure 1, are arranged at the edge bogies 4 and 5 in order to cover the traffic area and the shock absorbers, not shown, are optionally attached so as to dampen the movement of cars 2 and cabins 3.

Conformément aux figures 2 à 4, chaque cabine 3 est reliée à la voiture 2 adjacente par des moyens de commande assurant le positionnement angulaire de la cabine 3 par rapport au bogie 5, proportionnellement à la position angulaire de la voiture 2 adjacente par rapport au même bogie 5.In accordance with Figures 2 to 4, each cabin 3 is connected to the adjacent car 2 by control means ensuring the angular positioning of the cabin 3 relative to the bogie 5, in proportion to the angular position of the car 2 adjacent to the same bogie 5.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 2 à 3, les moyens de commande du positionnement angulaire de la cabine 3 sont constitués par deux paires de biellettes 7 disposées symétriquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. Chaque paire de biellette est disposée en V de manière à relier la cabine 3 et la voiture 2 adjacente avec un coulisseau 10 se déplaçant le long d'un rail de guidage 15, le rail de guidage 15 étant porté par le bogie 5 et s'étendant transversalement au bogie 5 en étant centré sur l'axe 8 de rotation des articulations de la cabine 3 et de la voiture 2.In a first embodiment shown in Figures 2 to 3, the means of control of the angular positioning of the cabin 3 are constituted by two pairs of rods 7 arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Each pair of rod is arranged in a V so as to connect the cabin 3 and the adjacent car 2 with a slider 10 moving along a rail of guide 15, the guide rail 15 being carried by the bogie 5 and extending transversely to the bogie 5 while being centered on the axis 8 of rotation of the joints from cabin 3 and car 2.

Conformément à la figure 2, un premier coulisseau 10, se déplaçant dans la moitié longitudinale gauche du bogie 5, est relié, par une paire de biellettes 7, au bord latéral droit de la face arrière 3a de la cabine 3 et au bord latéral droit de la face avant 2a de la voiture 2 adjacente. Un second coulisseau 10, se déplaçant dans la moitié longitudinale droite du bogie 5, est relié, par une paire de biellettes 7, au bord latéral gauche de la face arrière 3a de la cabine 3 et au bord latéral gauche de la face avant 2a de la voiture 2 adjacente. Les extrémités de chaque biellette 7 sont pourvues d'une liaison rotule autorisant le pivotement de la biellette 7 par rapport à leurs points de fixation.According to Figure 2, a first slide 10, moving in half longitudinal left side of the bogie 5, is connected, by a pair of rods 7, to the edge right side of the rear face 3a of the cabin 3 and at the right side edge of the face front 2a of adjacent car 2. A second slide 10, moving in the right longitudinal half of the bogie 5, is connected, by a pair of connecting rods 7, to the left lateral edge of the rear face 3a of the cabin 3 and at the left lateral edge of the front face 2a of the adjacent car 2. The ends of each link 7 are provided with a ball joint allowing the pivoting of the rod 7 relative to their fixing points.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les biellettes 7 possèdent toutes la même longueur.In the example shown, the links 7 all have the same length.

Le fonctionnement du moyen de commande par biellettes 7 de la cabine 3 va maintenant être décrit :The operation of the rod control means 7 of the cabin 3 will now be described:

Conformément à la figure 3, lorsque le tramway 1 aborde une courbe, le bogie 5 se positionne par rapport à la tangente de la courbe, ce qui provoque la rotation du bogie 5 par rapport à la face avant 2a de la voiture 2 adjacente. Ce mouvement de rotation du bogie 5 par rapport à la voiture 2 conduit à un déplacement des coulisseaux 10 le long du rail de guidage 15 par l'intermédiaire des biellettes 7 reliant la voiture 2 aux coulisseaux 10. Les coulisseaux 10 étant également reliés à la cabine 3 par des biellettes 7, le déplacement des coulisseaux 10 provoque un mouvement de rotation de la cabine 3 autour de l'axe 8, vers l'intérieur de la courbe. Dans l'exemple représenté, les longueurs des biellettes 7 étant équivalentes, l'angle de rotation de la cabine 3 par rapport au bogie 5 sera identique à la valeur de l'angle de rotation du bogie 5 par rapport à la voiture 2 adjacente.According to FIG. 3, when the tram 1 approaches a curve, the bogie 5 is positions relative to the tangent of the curve, which causes the rotation of the bogie 5 with respect to the front face 2a of the adjacent car 2. This movement of rotation of the bogie 5 relative to the car 2 leads to a displacement of the slides 10 along the guide rail 15 via the links 7 connecting the car 2 to the slides 10. The slides 10 also being connected to the cabin 3 by connecting rods 7, the displacement of the slides 10 causes a rotational movement of the car 3 around the axis 8, towards the inside of the curve. In the example shown, the lengths of the links 7 being equivalent, the angle of rotation of the cabin 3 relative to the bogie 5 will be identical to the value of the angle of rotation of the bogie 5 relative to the adjacent car 2.

Toutefois, dans des variantes de réalisation non représentées sur les figures, le mouvement de rotation de la cabine 3 vers l'intérieur de la courbe pourra être accentué ou diminué en modifiant la longueur des biellettes 7 de commande et en modifiant la position des points de fixation des biellettes 7 sur la cabine 3 et sur la voiture 2. However, in alternative embodiments not shown in the figures, the rotational movement of cabin 3 towards the inside of the curve may be accentuated or decreased by modifying the length of the control rods 7 and by modifying the position of the connecting points of the links 7 on the cabin 3 and on the car 2.

Dans un second mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 4, les moyens de commande du positionnement angulaire de la cabine 3 par rapport au bogie 5 sont constitués par une paire de câbles 6 disposés symétriquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du bogie 5 et partant de chaque bord transversal de la structure de la cabine pour relier le bord transversal opposé de la structure de la voiture 2 adjacente.In a second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the means of control of the angular positioning of the cabin 3 relative to the bogie 5 are constituted by a pair of cables 6 arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis longitudinal of the bogie 5 and starting from each transverse edge of the structure of the cabin to connect the opposite transverse edge of the car structure 2 adjacent.

Chaque câble 6 est guidé sur son parcours par deux rouleaux de guidage 16 fixés verticalement sur le bogie 5. Les rouleaux de guidages 16 sont disposés sur le bogie 5, symétriquement par rapport à l'axe 8 et à proximité du bord transversal du bogie 5, de manière à ce que chaque câble 6 passe de part et d'autre de deux rouleaux 16 en suivant un parcours en forme de S. La longueur des câbles 6 est adaptée de façon à ce que les câbles 6 soit tendus entre le bord de la cabine 3 et le bord de la voiture 2 adjacente.Each cable 6 is guided along its route by two guide rollers 16 fixed vertically on the bogie 5. The guide rollers 16 are arranged on the bogie 5, symmetrically with respect to the axis 8 and near the transverse edge of the bogie 5, so that each cable 6 passes on either side of two rollers 16 following an S-shaped path. The length of the cables 6 is adapted so the cables 6 are stretched between the edge of the cabin 3 and the edge of the car 2 adjacent.

Un tel moyen de commande par câbles 6 permet d'entraíner la cabine 3 en rotation par rapport au bogie 5 lorsque, dans les courbes, le bogie 5 est entraíné en rotation par rapport au véhicule 2 adjacent. En effet, la rotation du bogie 5 provoque un coulissement des câbles 6 le long des rouleaux 16 ce qui provoque un mouvement symétrique de rotation de la cabine 3 vers l'intérieur de la courbe.Such cable control means 6 allows to drive the cab 3 in rotation relative to the bogie 5 when, in the curves, the bogie 5 is rotated relative to the adjacent vehicle 2. Indeed, the rotation of the bogie 5 causes a sliding of the cables 6 along the rollers 16 which causes movement symmetrical rotation of the cabin 3 towards the inside of the curve.

Dans des variantes de réalisations non représentées, les rouleaux de guidage 16 et les points de fixation des câbles 6 pourront être positionnés différemment afin d'accentuer ou de diminuer le mouvement de rotation de la cabine 3 par rapport au mouvement de rotation de la voiture 2 adjacenteIn variant embodiments not shown, the guide rollers 16 and the cable attachment points 6 can be positioned differently so to increase or decrease the rotational movement of the cabin 3 relative to the rotational movement of adjacent car 2

Le véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention présente donc l'avantage de réduire le déport de la cabine dans les courbes grâce à l'articulation de la cabine sur le bogie et à son mouvement de rotation dans les courbes proportionnellement à la rotation du bogie par rapport à la voiture adjacente. Un tel véhicule ferroviaire autorise ainsi l'utilisation de cabines plus spacieuses, en longueur et en largeur, pour un même gabarit de voie.The rail vehicle according to the invention therefore has the advantage of reducing the offset of the cabin in the curves thanks to the articulation of the cabin on the bogie and its rotational movement in the curves proportional to the rotation of the bogie compared to the adjacent car. Such a railway vehicle thus authorizes the use of more spacious cabins, in length and width, for the same track gauge.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple. Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example only.

Ainsi, dans un autre mode de réalisation non représenté, les moyens commande pourront être constitués par des vérins reliant la cabine au bogie, les vérins étant commandés soit manuellement, soit automatiquement en fonction de la position angulaire du bogie par rapport à la voiture adjacente détectée à l'aide de capteurs.Thus, in another embodiment not shown, the control means may consist of cylinders connecting the cabin to the bogie, the cylinders being controlled either manually or automatically depending on the position bogie angle relative to the adjacent car detected using sensors.
