EP1270360A1 - Low platform train for transport of automobiles - Google Patents

Abstract

The train transports cars, which are driven from a low outer platform onto the swung-out tracks of the train. The driver leaves the car via the track and gets into a coupled passenger coach. Before the train departs, the tracks are turned back to within the bounds of the flatcars. At the destination, the tracks are swung out again for the car to be driven off.

Description

Aim of the invention

It is the aim of the invention to determine the ratio of usable mass to net weight Transport vehicle to improve so far that the fuel consumption when transporting a car on rails is lower than when the car drives on roads.

Another goal is to hand over and take over the car in breaks of three Minutes to settle, so that the car as luggage with the same train can be taken and the passenger decides to take a trip at short notice can.

Characteristic of the known prior art

Rail vehicles are known in which passenger cars have Side ramps or front ramps can be loaded and unloaded. Also Rail vehicles with a second loading level are known. All of these vehicles have the disadvantage that it takes a long time to load and unload Pre-registrations for transportation are necessary.

In addition, there is the favorable resistance on the rail to the road lost again because the dead weight of the transport vehicles twice as much is as high as the cars carried on it.

State the nature of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a rail-bound transport train for cars create, in which the special circumstances of the transport goods are used to reduce the vehicle weight.

• Belastung der Ladefläche mit zwei gleichen Lasten auf zwei Linien in Längsrichtung beim Transport, so dass Querbiegungen gering sind
• Belastung der Fahrzeugmitte nur mit halber Nutzlast, da der Achsstand des Pkw die Gesamtlast aufteilt und die Einzellasten auf konstantem Abstand hält
• Bei Streckenfahrt die Einzellasten in Richtung Achslager verschoben und die Biegemomente und Durchbiegungen klein sind
• Die geringe Pkw-Breite eine niedrige Ladefläche innerhalb der Fahrzeugbegrenzung ermöglicht und bei Bogenfahrt und hohen Geschwindigkeiten die zusätzliche Belastung der Achslager an der Außenschiene gering ist.
• Die kleinen Biegemomente ungekröpfte Langträger ermöglichen, die unterhalb der Achslager hängend geführt werden, so dass keine Biegemomente durch Zug- und Stoßkräfte entstehen
• Die sehr gute Federung des Transportgutes Pkw den dynamischen Stoßfaktor stark reduziert.

These are:

• Loading of the loading area with two identical loads on two lines in the longitudinal direction during transport so that transverse bends are minimal
• The center of the vehicle is only loaded with half the payload, since the wheelbase of the car divides the total load and keeps the individual loads at a constant distance
• When traveling on a route, the individual loads are shifted in the direction of the axle bearing and the bending moments and deflections are small
• The small car width enables a low loading area within the vehicle limits and the additional load on the axle bearings on the outer rail is low when traveling at bends and at high speeds.
• The small bending moments enable non-cranked long girders, which are guided hanging below the axle bearings, so that no bending moments result from tensile and impact forces
• The very good suspension of the passenger car transported greatly reduces the dynamic impact factor.

The loading surface ends (roadway ends) that can be swiveled up and down avoid lifting and lowering the load when loading.

The road ends are designed as drive-over thresholds, which are swiveled up Position act as brake wedges.

When the roadways are swung in and out, there is only rolling friction in the plane overcome what requires a small drive power. The swivel drive is carried out with commercially available drive elements.

The passenger receives a transport card with a transport number and parks his car the specified patrol on the platform. When the train stops, he operates the switch "Swing out", gets into his car and drives onto the swung-out lane.

After switching off the engine and applying the handbrake, he leaves the car and locks it. He leaves the carriageway via the catwalk with railings and actuates the "Swing in" the switch and get into the passenger car. A train break is enough of three minutes. The trip ends accordingly.

A car transport train includes a locomotive 1, dining car and Sleeping car 2, passenger car 3, two dome cars 4, car transport cars 5 and Transport frame 6.

The dome car 4 are on one end with pull and push device for Standard vehicles are equipped and have one on the other end Ball joint coupling for coupling the transport frame 6.

The passenger car 5 have low-lying long beams 7, which are suspended under the Hang axle bearings 8. The long beams take the bending moments from their own load and Cars, as well as the tractive and impact forces. The vertical impact factor can be greatly reduced because the car is already well sprung.

The carriageways lie on the long beams 7, which are connected by cross members 9 10; they are carried by idlers 11 which have a common pitch circle, which is greater than the distance between the two long beams 7. This makes one Tilting of the lanes when driving up and down is prevented and, on the other hand, the Points of application of the load on the long girders 7 shifted towards the girder bases and generates smaller bending moments, as well as the deflection in the middle of the beam permissible limits.

The carriageways 10 are connected to cross beams 9 outside the center of the beams, that the clear distance between the cross beams is equal to the clear distance between the long beams.

Under the roadways 10 and the cross members 12, the roller ring 13 is attached, the rolls on the support rollers 11 of the long beam 7 and cross member 9.

The roadways 10 are at the same time sidewalks for the driver when moving out and Enter. Railings 14 are arranged up to the limit of the freight wagons. Guide rollers 15 are fastened between the long beams 7 and the cross beams 9; these guide the pivoting of the carriageways with the aid of the guide ring 17 Roadways.

A chain wheel rim 18 is fastened to the guide ring 17; it is over a roller chain 19 driven by a geared motor 20. The gear motor is between the Drawbar bracket 21 on a horizontal mounting plate 22.

At the ends of the carriageways 10 can be swung up and down Lane extensions 23 attached; these serve as loading ramps during loading and equal the height difference between empty vehicle and loaded vehicle out. They also serve as a crossing threshold for the recognizable limitation of the Park length. The outer section 26 has a flat angle of approximately 20 ° and inner section 27 an angle of approximately 30 ° to the road plane.

The lane extension on the opposite side slides in when swinging out Loading position from the rail 24 onto a surface or rail 25; thereby the Get a brake wedge that limits the length of the parking space in front of the entering car.

The car transport frames 6 have the same structures as the car transport vehicles, but have no wheelsets and no axle bearings; they are with With the help of ball joints 28 with the car transport car or with the dome car connected. A frame end is also based on sliding surfaces 29 on the Long beams 7 from to prevent the frame from tipping.
