Description

The present invention relates to a rail freight wagon for the transport of road vehicles, especially trucks, comprising a carriage frame supported on bogies, on which a bridge with a roadway for receiving the street vehicles arranged which is provided around a substantially central part of the carriage frame, axis perpendicular to the track plane from a longitudinal direction of the freight car lying in a loading and unloading position can be swung out and vice versa, in which swung out area Unloading the road vehicles from the side next to the rail freight wagon accessible ramps to the bridge or from the bridge can drive.

Such rail freight wagons are known. For example, shows DE-A-37 39 888 a rail vehicle for the transport of road vehicles, at which loading areas are supported by wheel sets, and where loading platforms are arranged on the loading surface, which are supported on pivot bearings are and can be swung out to the side. With this arrangement it is possible that individual rail freight wagons are loaded and unloaded can, with road vehicles from the side in the swiveled-out position can drive ramps to the loading platform to the loading track, after which this is pivoted onto the loading area. This can be advantageous Load several rail freight cars together at the same time become; it is also easily possible from the series on the train charged road vehicles individually at different Remove stations from the train or load new ones.

In such rail freight wagons, the greatest possible loading height should be can be achieved. This means that the cargo area on which especially trucks come to a standstill, as low as possible so that tunnels can also be driven through.

In the known rail vehicle mentioned above, the must the bogies supported loading area can take a large load capacity, because the weight is due to the centrally arranged pivot bearing for the loading platform must be included. As a result, this loading area must be one have a certain height. In addition, the swiveling loading platform must also be used be designed to be correspondingly stable, since this also carries the full weight who must be able to take up the load. The loading platform must therefore also be switched off Stability reasons have a certain height. By referring to the loading platform the loading area must be swiveled out, the practically results double height for the undercarriage of the rail vehicle, which is based on the loadable corner height of the road vehicles can affect.

The object of the present invention is now a railway freight wagon to create the benefits of the opportunity of each Loading and unloading guaranteed, but on the other hand a low one Has overall height and thus especially trucks with large Can transport the corner height on the rail network.

According to the invention, the solution is achieved by using the bridge a lifting and rotating element with respect to that supported on the bogies Cart frame can be raised and pivoted and that the lifting and Rotating element during the lifting and pivoting of the bridge the track or its substructure is supported.

Due to the possibility of lifting the bridge in relation to the car frame can bridge and carriage frame be designed so that, for example. Side members can interlock and thus the overall height can be reduced can.

In an advantageous manner, the lower part becomes when the bridge is raised the lifting and rotating element supported on the track. This will make the Relief of the car frame, particularly in the middle. The load capacity doesn't have to be that big, which in turn depends on the overall height of the trolley frame effect.

It is also possible that in the area of the track substructure the track section, on which the railway wagons can be loaded and unloaded, one Roadway is attached, along which a carriage can be moved, on which the lifting and rotating elements are arranged. This is the advantage achieved that not every rail freight wagon with a hydraulically operated Lifting and rotating element must be equipped.

The upper part of the lifting and rotating element is advantageously which can be raised and rotated with respect to the carriage, with a Coupling element equipped, which in a corresponding coupling element intervenes, which is attached to the underside of the bridge, and that the lower part of the lifting and rotating element is attached to the carriage. Thereby safe lifting and guiding of the bridge is achieved.

Advantageously, are on the car and the respective railroad car Positioning means attached by means of which the carriage with respect to the corresponding railway carriage can be brought into position. This will make one achieved fast operation, the coupling of the upper part of the lifting and Rotating element on the bridge can be carried out quickly.

Another advantageous embodiment of this embodiment exists in that the car is equipped with locking elements, which can be inserted in receptacles fitted in the base. These locking elements ensure that the lifting and rotating element is firmly anchored in the substructure, the required stability of the bridge Loading and unloading is achieved.

The lifting means are advantageously formed from hydraulic cylinders, each arranged in pairs and at an angle to each other are and interact with each other, so that both the lifting movement as also the pivoting movement through controllable actuations of these hydraulic cylinders are executable. With this arrangement, both the lifting as well as the rotating movement are carried out; it is also does not require additional guide means to guide the bridge with respect of the carriage frame must be attached.

The bridge is advantageously in the transport position with the Trolley frame lockable, the locking of the bridge with the Cart frame using hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically operated lever devices can be done, each in the corner areas of the bridge on Carriage frames are attached. This ensures that the bridge for the Railway freight wagons additionally as an integrated, load-bearing element serves.

Another advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that the bridge is in the form of a box closed at the top, the Fronts are open. Due to the box construction of the bridge that can Roadway-forming floor part with a lower overall height can be built, since the Load capacities can also be absorbed by the shape of the box.

Advantageously, the Bridge pivotable flaps arranged for loading and unloading on the accessible ramps can be lowered from a raised state. Thereby can level differences between the lane of the bridge and the respective ramp can be compensated.

Here, the flaps can be operated hydraulically in an advantageous manner and in particular can be blocked in the lowered position, thereby providing support is formed for the bridge on the accessible ramps. This increases the stability of the device during loading and unloading.

Embodiments of the present invention are as follows explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing.

16 shows a representation of the carriage according to FIGS. 13 to 15 with the bridge raised and swung out.

The railway freight wagon according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 1 has a carriage frame 3 supported on bogies 2. The between the central area of the bogie 3 lies the bogies as low as possible above the track 4. On this middle area of the carriage frame 3, a bridge 5 is fitted, which is equipped with a carriageway 6 is. A road vehicle, in particular a truck, can drive onto this lane 6 7 can be turned off, as will be described later.

The bridge 5 is in the transport position in the longitudinal direction of the rail freight wagon aligned and lies on the carriage frame 3. On the carriage frame 3 are 5 locking mechanisms in the corner areas of the bridge arranged with which the bridge 5 locks on the carriage frame 3 can be, as will be described in detail later. The bridge 5 points in the form of a box closed at the top, the side surfaces being truss-shaped are trained. This results in an optimal supporting structure, so that the bottom of the bridge, which forms the carriageway 6, has a relatively low overall height can have, while still ensuring an optimal load capacity becomes.

Walls 41 can also be arranged on the carriage frame 3, which practically close the front of the bridge 5 in the transport position, what can influence the flow conditions of the airstream, in particular with empty rail freight wagons.

Since the bridge 5 in particular with its end regions on the car frame 3 come into circulation and in this area through the locking mechanisms 8 also practically firmly connected to the carriage frame 3 the middle area of the carriage frame 3 does not have to be dimensioned that the weight of bridge 5 and the load of bridge 5 is complete could wear. As a result, the overall height can also be kept low here, whereby the roadway 6 can be set as low as possible, which means that the trucks 7 transported by these rail freight cars 1 can have a higher corner height.

On the underside of the bridge 5 is a lifting and in the middle area Rotating element 9 attached. The lower part is in the raised state 10 of this lifting and rotating element 9 above the track level 11.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, when the rail freight wagon 1 is where it can be loaded and unloaded, lower the lower part 10 of the lifting and rotating element 9 until the lower part 10 is supported on the track level 11. The locking mechanisms 8 can then be solved as shown in Fig. 2. Bridge 5 is now exposed the carriage frame 3, additionally supported by the lifting and rotating element 9 on the track 4.

By further actuation of the lifting and rotating element 9 is now the bridge 5 raised, supported by the lower part 10 of the lifting and rotating element 9 on the track 4, as shown in Fig. 3. In this one position shown, the bridge 5 is only based on the lifting and Rotating element 9 and thus on the track 4.

In this raised position, the bridge 5 over the lifting and Rotating element 9, which is supported on the track 4 to a perpendicular to Track level 11 standing through the lifting and rotating element 9 axis are pivoted, as can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5. In particular 5 shows how parallel to track 4, on which the loading or unloading railway freight wagons, attached, not shown Ramp the road vehicles onto the swung out bridge 5 can or can drive away from this bridge 5,

The loaded or unloaded bridge 5 is then again in the longitudinal direction of the freight car 1 can be pivoted back, the bridge 5 is then lifted Rotating element 9 lowered again on the carriage frame 3, in this way assumed transport position with the carriage frame 3 via the locking mechanisms 8 locked, the lifting and rotating element can then by the position supported on the track 4 can be raised. The rail freight wagon 1 is then ready to leave.

Of course, several rail freight cars can be coupled together become and form a train. The rail freight wagons 1 can then, each individually, loaded or unloaded.

It would also be conceivable that the end regions of the carriage frame 3 two adjacent rail freight wagons 1 in a known manner only be supported by a bogie.

6a to 6c show the locking mechanisms 8, with which the bridge 5 are attached to the carriage frame 3. in this connection a pair of toggle levers 12, 13 is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder 14. The a toggle lever 12 is here about an axis 15 fastened to the carriage frame 3 pivotable. The other toggle lever is articulated on a pivot lever 16 hitched. One arm of this pivot lever 16 is with a cam 17th provided, which can be engaged in a corresponding recess 18 on the bridge is. A pull rod 19 is articulated on the other arm of the pivot lever 16, which is connected to a slide latch 20, which on the underside of the Bridge 5 can engage in a corresponding further recess 21.

6a shows the locked state of a locking mechanism 8. The bridge 5 is clamped down over the cam 17, while through the sliding bolt 20, the bridge 5 against the bogie 2 is pulled. This creates an optimal connection between the bridge 5 and the carriage frame 3 received. By using a Pair of toggle levers 12, 13 is also the security of this locking mechanism 8 guaranteed against unintentional loosening. This is also the effort to operate this locking mechanism relatively low, it could also be used pneumatically or electrically actuated elements become.

6b shows the locking mechanism 8 in the unlocked state, in this state, as previously described, the bridge 5 can be lifted from the trolley frame 3.

6c shows the locking mechanism 8 in the unlocked state, 6b, in a spatial representation.

The lifting and rotating element 9 comprises, as can be seen from FIGS. 7 to 10 is, an upper part 22 which is attached to the underside of the bridge 5. At this lower part 22, articulated connections 23 are rotatably mounted with which the piston rods 24 of hydraulic cylinders 25 articulated are. The other ends of the hydraulic cylinders 25 are also articulated with connected to a lower part 26. 7, the lower part 26 is in the raised position Status. In this state, the rail freight wagon can Drive track 4. In this raised state, the lower part 26 is additional still by a pawl mechanism 27, which is at the bottom of the bridge 5 is attached, held.

After unlocking the pawl mechanism 27 can by pressing the hydraulic cylinder 25 of the lower part 26 can be lowered, as shown in Fig. 8 is shown until it comes to rest on the track 4. Between Upper part 22 and lower part 26 are eight in the present exemplary embodiment Hydraulic cylinder 25 arranged, two of which each form a pair, the are arranged obliquely against each other. If all hydraulic cylinders 25 at the same time are operated, the lower part 26 is lowered with respect to the upper part 22 or raised.

If the position of the lower part 26, as shown in Fig. 8, is reached, i.e. if the lower part 26 is supported on the track 4, as previously described, the locking mechanisms between bridge 5 and carriage frame 3 can be solved. The hydraulic cylinders 25 can still be operated simultaneously, the bridge 5 is then related the track 4 and consequently raised with respect to the carriage frame 3, as shown in Fig. 9. The weight of the bridge 5 is thus fully on the track 4.

In the raised state of the bridge 5, as shown in FIG. 9 the hydraulic cylinders arranged in pairs can be different be operated. One thus obtains a pivoting of the upper part 22 and consequently the bridge 5 with respect to the lower part 26 and consequently the track 4, as shown in Fig. 10. This means that lifting or Lowering the bridge 5 and pivoting the bridge 5 by a corresponding one Controlled actuation of the hydraulic cylinder 25 achieve without additional guide elements are required.

In Fig. 11 is the raised and pivoted position of the bridge 5 regarding the track 4 can be seen. The entry and exit of the bridge 5 is thus located above ramps 28 which can be driven on and in parallel run to track 4. Such ramps 28 are arranged in stations, in which loading and unloading of the rail freight wagons is desired is.

In Fig. 11 is the raised and pivoted position of the bridge 5 shown. This bridge 5 can now be lowered by a certain amount until the bottom of the bridge 5 rests on the ramps 28, whereby the required stability for loading and unloading the bridge 5 is given.

To actuate the hydraulic cylinder 25 of the lifting and rotating element 9 and all other hydraulically actuated elements required Hydraulic units can for example on the carriage frame 3 in the area Bogies 2 (Fig. 1) may be arranged. These can usually be seen in freight trains existing power grids are fed. Of course the necessary safety devices are also available, for example only allow the lifting and rotating element to be actuated if the rail freight wagon is braked or that the bridge is only lifting can be done when unlocking, etc.

Flaps 29 can be pivoted at the end regions of the bridge 5 be arranged for loading and unloading on the accessible ramps 28 can be lowered from a raised state, as shown in FIGS. 12a and 12b. With these pivotable flaps 29 level differences can between the carriageway 6 of the swing-out bridge 5 to the corresponding one Ramp 28 can be compensated. These hinged flaps 29 can be actuated hydraulically, in particular in the lowered position they can be blocked, which means that the bridge 5 is supported on the vehicle Ramps 28 is formed, which ensures stability.

As can be seen from FIGS. 13 and 14, the lifting and Rotating element 9 may be arranged on a carriage 30, which along a Roadway 31, in the area of the track substructure 32 of the track section 4 is attached, is movable. The carriage 30 can thus under the bridge 5 of the corresponding rail freight car 1, the upper part 33 the lifting and rotating element 9 is equipped with a coupling element 34, which can engage in a corresponding coupling element 35, which is attached to the underside of the bridge 5, after which the bridge, such as previous embodiment has been described, raised and pivoted can be. The carriage 30 is advantageously with positioning elements 36 equipped with the appropriate means 37, the rail freight wagon are attached, can cooperate so that the carriage 30 with respect to the bridge 5 to be lifted and pivoted into the correct position can be brought.

The carriage 30 is advantageously provided with locking elements 38 equipped, which in correspondingly mounted in the base 32 recordings 39 can be introduced. This locking elements 38 can thus Weight of the bridge 5 can be taken up with the appropriate load, the roadway 31 and the wheels of the car 30 are not excessive loaded. They can therefore be dimensioned accordingly. So locked the lifting and rotating device can also absorb tilting moments, which also an asymmetrical load distribution on the bridge is made possible.

From Fig. 15 it can be seen that the coupling element 34, which on Upper part 33 of the carriage 30 is attached in the corresponding coupling element 35 of the bridge 5 inserted state also by accordingly attached bolt 40 is lockable. The lifting and rotating element 9 that on the carriage 30 is arranged, can be constructed the same as in the previous described embodiment, but there are other lifting and Swiveling means conceivable that are known to the person skilled in the art.

With this carriage 30, the respective bridge 5 of the corresponding one Railway freight car 1 as described for the previous embodiment has been lifted and pivoted as shown in FIG. 16 is. It is therefore not necessary for every rail freight wagon to have a lifting and rotating element 9 is equipped with the necessary Hydraulic units. Such a carriage 30 can for example for one whole train can be used by a rail freight car to the other drives. It is also conceivable that the length of an entire train further such car 30 can be used. These are with the corresponding power supply and the hydraulic units required in each case fitted.
