Definitions

  • the invention relates to an energy dissipation device for the front side of rail vehicles.
  • a second, secondary energy dissipation device for absorbing impact impulses resulting from excessive camber impacts is arranged in the form of two side buffers, possibly with climbing protection elements, on the outer edge of the end face.
  • Another energy dissipation device for rail vehicles is z. B. from the EP 0 858 937 A2 known, after exhausting the energy absorption capability of a primary, reversible energy dissipation device on the coupling shaft of a central buffer coupling a second energy dissipation via a force application element, such as a reset buffer, causes the further shock and energy dissipation.
  • a generic energy dissipation device is eg by the EP-A-0 009 737 known.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an energy dissipation device that reduces the fitting and tuning effort between vehicle manufacturer and Energyverzehrleaneds- or clutch supplier and the design and / or quality risks.
  • the modular design of the energy dissipation device optimally supports the trend towards platform vehicles with different front designs in the rail vehicle industry and ensures quick installation and interchangeability. Considerable reductions in the number of interfaces and the extensive use of tested, performance-adjusted, yet vehicle-independent standard components minimizes the technical and economic risks.
  • the energy dissipation device is attached via a base support 1 on the front side of rail vehicles.
  • the base support 1 contains and carries all the elements of the energy dissipation device and is mounted as a compact, pre-assembled module on the base frame 9 in the interface region of the rail vehicle.
  • a clutch 3 designed as a central clutch or central buffer coupling, mounted on a clutch bearing 8, which ensures essentially the necessary horizontal deflections, but usually also occurring during operation vertical and gimbal deflections elastically supported (elastomeric spring joint).
  • a lateral energy dissipation element 4 is arranged, which are preferably formed regenerative.
  • the energy dissipation elements 4 are fastened laterally to the base carrier 1 by holders 5 and are connected to one another by a shock bar 6 extending substantially horizontally.
  • the connection of the energy dissipation elements 4 to the bumper 6 takes place via an adapter 7.
  • the bumper 6 is arranged in the embodiment of FIG. 1 above the horizontal coupling plane, but can also be provided in the horizontal coupling plane.
  • the shock bar 6 is connected via the adapter 7 as a rule firmly connected to the side energy absorbing elements 4.
  • the clutch 3 is formed behind the bumper 6 within the vehicle profile reset.
  • the resetting of the clutch 3 can be done in particular by manual or automated pivoting, pushing or Einknikken the coupling rod in a joint 2 and is often for safety reasons for the free, uncoupled end of a rail vehicle 1, especially for trams, at least partially the infrastructure with other road users share, demanded or desired.
  • an additional clutch flap can be provided for frontal cover of the free space in the coupling area under the bumper 6, an additional clutch flap can be provided.
  • the coupling flap can be designed, for example, manually removable or manually or automatically pivotable.
  • the shock bar 6 can be brought out of operation in rest position, in particular by manual removal or by pivoting down or up.
  • the removal of the shock bar 6 from the horizontal coupling plane is required to spend the clutch 3 from the rest position to the operating position when the front of the rail vehicle in question is to be made ready to be coupled.
  • the movement of the shock bar 6 in the rest position and the displacement of the clutch 3 in the operating position are automated (for example by means of an electric motor), assisted manually or by auxiliary energy (for example gas spring).
  • the base support 1 with the energy dissipation device and the clutch 3 can be attached as a pre-assembled, complete energy dissipation and coupling module via a defined, uniform interface on the undercarriage 9 of the rail vehicle.
  • the base support 1 can be provided and integrated as a static load-bearing element in the undercarriage 9 of the rail vehicle.
