Description

L'invention se rapporte à un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas intégral et plus particulièrement à un bogie comportant un châssis reposant sur quatre roues par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension primaire, le châssis supportant au moins un moteur disposé sur un côté du châssis et relié à au moins une roue par des moyens de transmission.The invention relates to a motor bogie for a low-floor railway vehicle integral and more particularly to a bogie comprising a chassis resting on four wheels via a primary suspension, the chassis supporting at least a motor arranged on one side of the chassis and connected to at least one wheel by means of transmission.

L'invention convient notamment aux tramways pour lesquels un plancher bas permet de faciliter l'accès et la sortie aux enfants, personnes âgés et handicapés.The invention is particularly suitable for trams for which a low floor allows to facilitate access and exit for children, the elderly and the disabled.

Il est connu, de la demande de brevet FR 2 637 861 déposée par la demanderesse, un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas comportant un châssis reposant sur deux essieux par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension primaire, le châssis supportant des moteurs de tractions disposés latéralement sur le bogie et reliés aux roues par des moyens de transmission disposés à l'extérieur des roues. Un tel bogie présente toutefois l'inconvénient de posséder des essieux et des boites d'essieu qui encombrent l'espace entre les roues et obligent donc à disposer le plancher au-dessus des essieux.It is known from the patent application FR 2,637,861 filed by the applicant, a motor bogie for a low-floor railway vehicle comprising a resting chassis on two axles via a primary suspension, the supporting frame traction motors arranged laterally on the bogie and connected to the wheels by means of transmission means arranged outside the wheels. Such a bogie presents however the disadvantage of having axles and axle boxes that clog the space between the wheels and therefore require to arrange the floor above the axles.

Le document EP-B1-0 698 540 divulgue un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas comportant un châssis reposant sur quatre roues montées individuellement, sans liaison par arbre d'essieu, et supportant deux moteurs disposés latéralement sur le bogie. Chaque moteur comporte deux arbres de sortie directement reliés à un réducteur disposé à l'extérieur des roues et relié à l'une des roues par un accouplement de type arbre creux autorisant un débattement vertical de la roue. Un tel bogie présente l'avantage de ne pas posséder de liaison par arbre d'essieu entre les roues individuelles, ce qui permet d'abaisser d'avantage le plancher, mais présente toutefois l'inconvénient de comporter des arbres des roues qui sont guidés par des boites d'essieu disposées à l'intérieur des roues, ce qui encombre l'espace à intérieur des roues et limite donc la largeur disponible pour le plancher au niveau des bogies.EP-B1-0 698 540 discloses a motor bogie for a railway vehicle with low floor with a chassis resting on four wheels mounted individually, without connection by axle shaft, and supporting two engines arranged laterally on the bogie. Each motor has two output shafts directly connected to a gearbox arranged outside the wheels and connected to one of the wheels by a hollow shaft type coupling allowing a vertical movement of the wheel. A such bogie has the advantage of not having an axle shaft connection between the individual wheels, which further lowers the floor, but presents however the disadvantage of having wheel shafts which are guided by axle boxes arranged inside the wheels, which clutter the space inside wheels and therefore limits the width available for the floor at the bogies.

Un tel bogie présente également l'inconvénient de comporter des organes de freinage qui sont placés au niveau des réducteurs et qui sont donc spécifiques au bogie moteur, ce qui conduit à avoir sur un véhicule ferroviaire des organes de freinage qui sont différents sur les bogies moteurs et sur les bogies porteurs ce qui complique les opérations de maintenance.Such a bogie also has the disadvantage of having braking members which are placed at the level of the reducers and which are therefore specific to the bogie motor, which leads to having on a rail vehicle braking devices which are different on the motor bogies and on the carrying bogies which complicates the maintenance operations.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de remédier à ces différents inconvénients en proposant un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas intégral qui permette d'avoir un plancher au niveau du bogie s'étendant à une très faible hauteur et sur une largeur proche de l'écartement des roues. Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire qui comporte des organes de freinages facilement accessibles et qui puissent indifféremment équiper des bogies porteurs ou moteurs.An object of the present invention is therefore to remedy these various disadvantages by proposing a motor bogie for a low-floor railway vehicle that allows a floor at the bogie extending at a very low height and on a width close to the wheel spacing. Another purpose of this invention is to propose a motor bogie for a railway vehicle which comprises brake devices easily accessible and that can indifferently equip bogies carriers or engines.

L'invention a pour objet un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas intégral comportant un châssis reposant sur quatre roues par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension primaire, le châssis supportant au moins un moteur disposé sur un côté du châssis et relié à au moins une roue par des moyens de transmission, caractérisé en ce que chaque roue comporte un arbre de roue individuel supporté par une boite d'essieu et en ce que les moyens de transmission comportent un réducteur couplé directement à l'arbre de la roue et une transmission télescopique, de type à double joint de cardan, disposée entre le réducteur et le moteur, le réducteur étant placé à l'extérieur de la roue et comportant un carter intégrant la boite d'essieu de l'arbre de la roue, le carter du réducteur servant également d'élément support à un organe de suspension primaire sur lequel s'appuie le châssis.The subject of the invention is a motor bogie for a low-floor railway vehicle integral with a chassis resting on four wheels via a primary suspension, the chassis supporting at least one motor arranged on one side of the chassis and connected to at least one wheel by transmission means, characterized in that that each wheel has an individual wheel shaft supported by an axle box and in that the transmission means comprise a reducer coupled directly to the shaft of the wheel and a telescopic transmission, of type double universal joint, arranged between the gearbox and the motor, the gearbox being placed outside the gearbox wheel and having a casing incorporating the axle box of the wheel shaft, the casing of the reducer also acting as support member for a suspension member primary on which the chassis is supported.

  • two motors are fixed on the frame and arranged longitudinally on each side of the frame, each motor driving the two wheels, arranged one behind the other on the side of the frame, by means of a telescopic transmission type double seal of gimbal placed between the motor and a gearbox coupled directly to the wheel shaft, each gearbox having a casing incorporating the axle box of the wheel and serving as a support member to a primary suspension member;

On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et avantages de la présente invention, d'après la description donnée ci-après d'un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en se référant aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus, d'un bogie moteur pour véhicule ferroviaire à plancher bas selon un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du bogie moteur de la figure 1.
The aims, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description given below of a particular embodiment of the invention, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings. , wherein :
  • Figure 1 is a top view of a motor bogie for low floor rail vehicle according to a particular embodiment of the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the motor bogie of FIG.

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 facilitate the reading of the drawing, only the elements necessary for understanding of the invention have been shown. The same elements have the same references from one figure to another.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un bogie moteur de tramway comportant un châssis 1 reposant sur quatre roues 2 par l'intermédiaire d'une suspension primaire 3 autorisant un débattement vertical de l'ordre de +/- 15 mm. Les quatre roues 2 sont réparties de manière classique suivant deux trains de roulement destinés chacun à venir sur un rail de la voie ferrée, les roues 2 comportant chacune un arbre de roue individuel monté sur une boite d'essieu et n'étant pas reliées entre elles par un arbre d'essieu.Figures 1 and 2 show a trolley motor bogie comprising a chassis 1 resting on four wheels 2 via a primary suspension 3 authorizing a vertical deflection of the order of +/- 15 mm. The four wheels 2 are divided conventional way following two running gear each intended to come on a rail of the track, the wheels 2 each having an individual wheel shaft mounted on an axle box and not connected to each other by an axle shaft.

Conformément à la figure 2, le châssis 1 comporte une structure constituée principalement par deux longerons longitudinaux 11 reliés entre eux par deux traverses 12, les longerons longitudinaux 11 étant disposés à l'extérieur des roues 2 et s'étendant à une hauteur supérieure à l'axe des roues 2. Les traverses 12 s'étendent perpendiculairement aux longerons longitudinaux 11 et possèdent une partie centrale abaissée, disposée à l'intérieure de la zone délimitée par les quatre roues 2, s'étendant à une hauteur inférieure à l'axe des roues 2 et permettant de libérer le maximum d'espace entre les roues 2 pour la mise en place d'un plancher.According to FIG. 2, the frame 1 comprises a structure constituted mainly by two longitudinal longitudinal members 11 interconnected by two crosspieces 12, the longitudinal longitudinal members 11 being disposed outside the wheels 2 and extending to a height greater than the axis of the wheels 2. The sleepers 12 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal spars 11 and have a central portion lowered, arranged inside the zone delimited by the four wheels 2, extending at a height less than the axis of the wheels 2 and to release the maximum space between the wheels 2 for the establishment of a floor.

Les longerons longitudinaux 11 supportent, sur leur face supérieure, des organes de suspensions secondaires 4 destinés à recevoir la caisse du tramway par l'intermédiaire d'une traverse de charge, non représentée.The longitudinal longitudinal members 11 support, on their upper face, secondary suspensions 4 intended to receive the trolley case by via a load crossbar, not shown.

Chaque longeron longitudinal 11 supporte également un moteur de traction 5 qui est disposé latéralement sous le longeron 11 de telle sorte que l'axe du moteur 5 soit extérieur au plan longitudinal des deux roues 2 du train de roulement. Ces moteurs 5 comportent un rotor muni de deux arbres de sortie, chacun des arbres de sortie étant relié à la roue 2 la plus proche par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission télescopique 6 à double joint de cardan, elle-même reliée à un réducteur 7 à engrenages coniques monté directement sur l'arbre de la roue 2.Each longitudinal spar 11 also supports a traction motor 5 which is disposed laterally under the spar 11 so that the axis of the motor 5 is outside the longitudinal plane of the two wheels 2 of the undercarriage. These engines 5 comprise a rotor provided with two output shafts, each of the output shafts being connected to the nearest wheel 2 via a telescopic transmission 6 to double universal joint, itself connected to a gearbox 7 with bevel gears mounted directly on the shaft of the wheel 2.

Chaque réducteur 7 est monté à l'extérieur du plan de la roue 2 et comporte un carter intégrant la boite d'essieu de la roue 2, le carter du réducteur 7 servant également d'élément support à deux organes de la suspension primaire 3 de type connu, en sandwich de plaques métalliques et de matériau élastomère, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2.Each reducer 7 is mounted outside the plane of the wheel 2 and comprises a housing integrating the axle box of the wheel 2, the housing of the gearbox 7 also serving two-member support element of the primary suspension 3 of known type, sandwich of metal plates and elastomeric material, as can be seen in Figure 2.

Des traverses secondaires 8 relient entre eux les carters des réducteurs 7 des deux trains de roulement, ces traverses 8 étant disposées de part et d'autre de chaque roue 2, à une hauteur sensiblement identique à la hauteur de la partie centrale abaissée des traverses 12 du châssis 1. Ces traverses secondaires 8 assurent le maintien de l'écartement et du parallélisme entre les roues 2 des deux trains de roulement.Secondary crossmembers 8 interconnect the gearbox housings 7 of the two undercarriages, these rails 8 being disposed on either side of each wheel 2, at a height substantially identical to the height of the lowered central portion of 12 sleepers of the frame 1. These secondary sleepers 8 ensure the maintenance of the spacing and parallelism between the wheels 2 of the two undercarriages.

Chaque train de roulement comporte une roue 2 comprenant un arbre de roue traversant le carter du réducteur 7 en direction de l'extérieur du bogie et présentant une extrémité solidaire d'un disque de frein 9, ce dernier coopérant avec un étrier de frein 10 fixé au longeron longitudinal 11 et au carter du réducteur 7. Ces organes de freinage, constitués par le disque 9 et l'étrier 10, permettent de freiner l'ensemble des deux roues 2 du train de roulement, ces dernières étant accouplées mécaniquement par le rotor commun du moteur de traction 5.Each undercarriage comprises a wheel 2 comprising a wheel shaft passing through the casing of the gearbox 7 towards the outside of the bogie and presenting an end secured to a brake disc 9, the latter cooperating with a stirrup of brake 10 fixed to the longitudinal spar 11 and to the housing of the gearbox 7. These braking, constituted by the disk 9 and the stirrup 10, make it possible to brake all the two wheels 2 of the undercarriage, the latter being mechanically coupled by the common rotor of the traction motor 5.

Le bogie moteur précédemment décrit, en intégrant les boites d'essieu dans les carters des réducteurs et en utilisant ces carters comme élément d'appui pour les organes de la suspension primaire, présente l'avantage de posséder un espace entre les roues totalement libre jusqu'à hauteur des traverses abaissées du châssis, ce qui permet de réaliser un plancher bas présentant, au niveau des bogies, une largeur proche de l'écartement entre les roues .The motor bogie previously described, by integrating the axle boxes into the gearbox housings and using these housings as a support element for organs of the primary suspension, has the advantage of having a space between the wheels completely free up to the lowered sleepers of the chassis, which allows for a low floor having, at the level of the bogies, a width close to the distance between the wheels.

De plus, l'intégration des boites d'essieu dans les carter des réducteurs assure non seulement un encombrement réduit et un gain de masse, mais permet également de libérer de la place pour l'installation d'organes de freinage à l'extérieur des roues, ces derniers présentant alors l'avantage d'une maintenance aisée. Une telle installation de freinage permet aussi d'utiliser des disques de frein et des étriers de freinage identiques à ceux utilisés sur les bogies simplement porteurs équipant le véhicule ferroviaire, ce qui permet de standardiser les organes de freinage entre les bogies moteurs et les bogies porteurs et donc de réduire le coût de fabrication et de maintenance des organes de freinage du véhicule ferroviaire.In addition, the integration of the axle boxes in the gearbox housings ensures only a small footprint and a gain in mass, but also allows free up space for the installation of brake components on the outside of the wheels, these the latter then having the advantage of easy maintenance. Such a facility braking also allows the use of brake discs and brake calipers identical to those used on simply carrying bogies equipping the vehicle railway, which makes it possible to standardize the braking components between the bogies motors and bogies and therefore reduce the cost of manufacturing and maintenance of the braking components of the railway vehicle.

Enfin, l'implantation d'un réducteur directement couplé à la roue et relié au moteur par une transmission télescopique a l'avantage de générer un plus faible couple au niveau de la transmission télescopique par rapport au couple transmis par le réducteur à la roue, ce qui permet d'avoir des transmissions télescopiques peu encombrantes. Finally, the installation of a reducer directly coupled to the wheel and connected to the engine a telescopic transmission has the advantage of generating a lower torque at level of the telescopic transmission compared to the torque transmitted by the gearbox to the wheel, which allows for small telescopic transmissions cumbersome.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given only as an example. Modifications are possible, particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, le moteur de traction à double arbre de sortie des trains de roulement peut être remplacé par un moteur de traction à deux rotors mécaniquement indépendant et disposés l'un derrière l'autre ou par deux moteurs de traction. Dans un tel cas, chaque arbre de roue peut par exemple être équipé d'un disque de frein de manière à assurer le freinage sur l'ensemble des quatre roues.Thus, in an embodiment variant, not shown, the traction motor Double shaft output of the undercarriages can be replaced by a motor of mechanically independent two-rotor traction arranged one behind the other or by two traction motors.
