Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Übergang mit einer Übergangsbrücke, einem Balg und einem Gelenk, zur Verbindung zweier Fahrzeuge, z. B. eines Gelenkbusses oder eines Fahrzeugs mit Anhänger.The present invention relates to a transition with a transition bridge, a bellows and a joint, for connecting two vehicles, for. B. a articulated bus or a vehicle with trailer.

Übergangsbrücken der unterschiedlichsten Art als Teil eines Übergangs zwischen gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeugen, z. B. eines Gelenkbusses, sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinreichend bekannt. Alle diese bekannten Übergangsbrücken stützen sich allerdings auf dem Gelenk ab. Eine solche Abstützung der Übergangsbrücke auf dem Gelenk ist möglich, da der Drehpunkt an dem Gelenk ortsfest ist. Insofern ist als Übergangsbrücke lediglich eine auf dem Gelenk sich abgestützende Scheibe erforderlich. An diese Scheibe ragen zwei Brückenteile heran, die, um das Gelenk zugänglich zu machen, durch ein Scharnier mit dem Boden des Fahrzeugs verbunden sind, so dass die Brückenteile entsprechend hochklappbar sind.Transition bridges of various kinds as part of a transition between articulated vehicles, z. B. a joint bus, are well known from the prior art. However, all these known transition bridges are based on the joint. Such a support of the transition bridge on the joint is possible because the fulcrum is fixed to the joint. In this respect, as a transition bridge only one on the joint-supporting disc is required. At this disc two bridge parts protrude, which, in order to make the joint accessible, are connected by a hinge to the floor of the vehicle, so that the bridge parts are correspondingly folded up.

Aus der EP 0 207 682 A1 ist eine Übergangsbrücke bekannt, wobei die Übergangsbrücke zwei Brückenplatten umfasst, wobei die eine Brückenplatte der anderen Brückenplatte schwenkbeweglich aufliegt.
Hierbei sind des Weiteren sogenannte Abstandsüberbrückungsplatten vorgesehen, die dafür sorgen, dass zwischen den Brückenplatten im Wesentlichen keine offenen Abstände in vertikaler Richtung entstehen.From the EP 0 207 682 A1 a transition bridge is known, wherein the transition bridge comprises two bridge plates, wherein the one bridge plate of the other bridge plate rests pivotally.
In this case, further so-called distance bridging plates are provided, which ensure that between the bridge plates substantially no open distances in the vertical direction arise.

Nun ist allerdings auch ein Gelenk bekannt, bei dem der Drehpunkt des Gelenkes nicht ortsfest ist. Ein solches Gelenk ist unter der Bezeichnung "Kreuzgelenk" aus der DE 102 09 354 A1 oder der EP 1 342 594 A2 bekannt. Die Besonderheit dieses Gelenkes besteht darin, dass dieses Gelenk relativ kurz baut und dass der Drehpunkt des Gelenks entsprechend dem von dem Fahrzeug zu durchfahrenden Kurvenradius von innen nach außen wandert. Das heißt, der Drehpunkt ist nicht ortsfest. Insofern verbietet sich eine Brückenkonstruktion, wie sie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist.Now, however, a joint is known in which the pivot point of the joint is not fixed. Such a joint is called "universal joint" from the DE 102 09 354 A1 or the EP 1 342 594 A2 known. The peculiarity of this joint is that this joint builds relatively short and that the pivot point of the joint according to the radius of curvature to be traveled by the vehicle moves from the inside to the outside. That is, the fulcrum is not stationary. In this respect, prohibits a bridge construction, as known from the prior art.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Übergang zu schaffen, der auch mit Gelenken einsetzbar ist, bei denen der Drehpunkt nicht ortsfest ist.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a transition, the can also be used with joints in which the pivot point is not stationary.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Übergangsbrücke zwei einander überlappende Bodenplatten aufweist, die relativ zueinander verschieblich sind, wobei das Gelenk einen an dem einen Fahrzeugteil angeordneten Gelenkträger umfasst, wobei die untere Bodenplatte auf dem Gelenkträger gleitend aufsitzt, wobei sich die obere Bodenplatte im Bereich des Gelenkträgers auf der unteren Bodenplatte abstützt.The object is achieved in that the transition bridge has two mutually overlapping bottom plates which are displaceable relative to each other, wherein the joint comprises a arranged on the vehicle part articulated support, wherein the lower base plate slidably mounted on the joint carrier, wherein the upper base plate is supported in the region of the joint carrier on the lower base plate.

Hieraus wird deutlich, dass sich die Übergangsbrücke nicht mehr auf den beweglichen Teilen des Gelenks abstützt, sondern auf den festen Teilen des Gelenks. Das heißt, es existiert ein nicht abgestützter Teil der Übergangsbrücke, so dass es hierbei zu Durchbiegungen kommen kann. Jedoch ist dieser freie Teil der Übergangsbrücke relativ kurz, da das Kreuzgelenk, wie an anderer Stelle bereits erläutert, ebenfalls kurz baut.From this it is clear that the transition bridge is no longer supported on the moving parts of the joint, but on the fixed parts of the joint. This means that there is an unsupported part of the transition bridge, so that this can lead to deflections. However, this free part of the transition bridge is relatively short, since the universal joint, as already explained elsewhere, also builds short.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale und Ausbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous features and embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

So ist nach einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die obere Bodenplatte flexibel und abriebfest ausgebildet ist. Wie bereits an anderer Stelle dargelegt, gleitet die obere Bodenplatte auf der unteren Bodenplatte. Insofern ist in diesem Bereich eine gewisse Abriebfestigkeit und auch Gleitfähigkeit zwischen den beiden Bodenplatten von Vorteil, der insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden kann, dass die obere Bodenplatte beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Elastisch sollte auch die untere Bodenplatte ausgebildet sein, da auch sie beispielsweise bei Wankbewegungen Verformungen unterworfen ist. Insofern kann die untere Bodenplatte in gleicher Weise wie die obere Bodenplatte hergestellt sein.Thus, according to a special feature of the invention, it is provided that the upper base plate is flexible and resistant to abrasion. As already stated elsewhere, the upper floor slab slides on the lower floor slab. In this respect, a certain abrasion resistance and also lubricity between the two base plates of advantage in this area, which can be achieved in particular by the fact that the upper base plate is made for example of a plastic. Elastic should also be formed, the lower bottom plate, as well as it is subjected to deformations, for example during rolling movements. In this respect, the lower floor panel can be made in the same way as the upper floor panel.

Um einer solchen Bodenplatte aus Kunststoff die erforderliche Stabilität zu vermitteln, sind nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in den Kunststoff der Bodenplatte Verstärkungselemente eingearbeitet. Das heißt, dass beispielsweise bei einer im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellten Bodenplatte die entsprechenden Verstärkungselemente als Einlagen mit umspritzt werden.In order to provide the required stability of such a base plate made of plastic, reinforcement elements are incorporated according to a further feature of the invention in the plastic of the bottom plate. That is, for example, in an injection molding process produced base plate, the corresponding reinforcing elements are molded as deposits with.

Da auch die untere Bodenplatte bei Kurvenfahrt des Fahrzeuges eine Relativbewegung zum Gelenkträger ausübt, auf dem sie aufliegt, ist erforderlich, dass zwischen der Oberfläche des Gelenkträgers einerseits und der Unterseite der unteren Bodenplatte andererseits eine gleitende Bewegung ermöglicht wird. Insofern ist vorgesehen, dass auf dem Gelenkträger Gleitelemente für die gleitende Bewegung der unteren Bodenplatte vorgesehen sind. Denkbar ist aber auch die umgekehrte Anordnung der Gleitelemente an der unteren Bodenplatte. Solche Gleitelemente können Kunststoffteile sein, die besonders abriebfest sind und darüber hinaus einen geringen Reibbeiwert aufweisen.Since the lower floor plate when cornering of the vehicle exerts a relative movement to the joint carrier on which it rests, it is necessary that between the surface of the joint carrier on the one hand and the underside of the lower floor plate on the other hand a sliding movement is possible. In this respect, it is provided that sliding elements are provided for the sliding movement of the lower base plate on the joint carrier. It is also conceivable, however, the reverse arrangement of the sliding elements on the lower base plate. Such sliding elements may be plastic parts which are particularly resistant to abrasion and moreover have a low coefficient of friction.

Vorteilhaft besitzt der Gelenkträger eine Traverse, die im Bereich des Übergangs von der unteren zur oberen Bodenplatte auf dem Gelenkträger angeordnet ist. Diese Traverse dient als zusätzliche Stütze und Auflage für die untere Bodenplatte, weshalb die Traverse für die Gleitbewegungen der unteren Bodenplatte auch in diesem Bereich entsprechende Gleitelemente aufweist.Advantageously, the joint carrier has a traverse, which is arranged in the region of the transition from the lower to the upper base plate on the joint carrier. This Traverse serves as an additional support and support for the lower base plate, which is why the traverse for the sliding movements of the lower base plate also has corresponding sliding elements in this area.

Wie bereits an anderer Stelle erläutert, eignet sich die zuvor beschriebene Übergangsbrücke erfindungsgemäß insbesondere für ein sogenanntes Kreuzgelenk. Ein solches Kreuzgelenk weist zwei kreuzweise angeordnete Gelenkarme auf, wobei die Gelenkarme mit ihrem einen Ende drehbar an dem Gelenkträger und mit ihrem anderen Ende drehbar an Gelenkböcken befestigt sind, wobei die Gelenkböcke an dem anderen Fahrzeugteil angeordnet sind. An dieser Stelle sei noch einmal darauf hingewiesen, dass die vorliegende Erfindung sowohl bei Gelenkfahrzeugen als auch bei einem Zugfahrzeug mit einem abkuppelbaren Anhänger Anwendung findet. Ein solches Kreuzgelenk zeichnet sich weiterhin dadurch aus, dass die Gelenkarme im Bereich der Anlenkung an den Gelenkträger endseitig jeweils einen Nocken zur Aufnahme eines Dämpfers aufweisen, wobei der Dämpfer beispielsweise als hydraulische Kolbenzylindereinheit ausgebildet ist, die mit dem Gelenkträger in Verbindung steht. Hiermit wird deutlich, dass die Auslenkung der Gelenkarme bei z. B. Kurvenfahrt dämpfend erfolgt.As already explained elsewhere, the transition bridge described above according to the invention is particularly suitable for a so-called universal joint. Such a universal joint has two crosswise arranged articulated arms, wherein the articulated arms are rotatably attached at one end to the articulated support and at its other end rotatably mounted on articulated blocks, wherein the articulation blocks are arranged on the other vehicle part. It should be pointed out once again that the present invention applies both to articulated vehicles and to a towing vehicle with a detachable trailer. Such A universal joint is further distinguished by the fact that the articulated arms in the region of the linkage to the joint carrier each end have a cam for receiving a damper, wherein the damper is designed for example as a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit, which is in communication with the joint carrier. This makes it clear that the deflection of the articulated arms at z. B. cornering is dampening.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass bei Kurvenfahrt die untere Platte nicht über die obere Bodenplatte seitlich übersteht, weist die untere Bodenplatte im Bereich der oberen Bodenplatten einen giebelartigen, also etwa konisch verlaufenden Endbereich auf.In order to ensure that when cornering, the lower plate does not protrude laterally beyond the upper base plate, the lower base plate in the region of the upper base plates has a gable-like, ie approximately conically extending end region.

Wie bereits an anderer Stelle erläutert, soll insbesondere bei Verwendung der Übergangsbrücke bei einem Übergang eines Fahrzeugs, bestehend aus Zugfahrzeug und Anhänger, das Zugfahrzeug getrennt von dem Hänger nutzbar sein. Das bedeutet auch, dass die Übergangsbrücke ebenfalls in einfacher Weise teilbar sein muss. Insofern ist vorgesehen, dass die untere Bodenplatte, die an dem anderen Fahrzeugteil befestigt ist, im Bereich der Gelenkböcke ein Scharnier aufweist, um die Bodenplatte im Falle des Abkuppelns des hinteren Fahrzeugsteils von dem vorderen Fahrzeugteil hochklappen zu können.As already explained elsewhere, especially when using the transition bridge at a transition of a vehicle consisting of traction vehicle and trailer, the towing vehicle should be available separately from the trailer. This also means that the transition bridge must also be divisible in a simple manner. In this respect, it is provided that the lower base plate, which is fastened to the other vehicle part, has a hinge in the region of the articulated trestles in order to be able to fold up the base plate in the event of uncoupling of the rear vehicle part from the front vehicle part.

Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass die Stirnkante der oberen Bodenplatte im Übergangsbereich zur unteren Bodenplatte bogenförmig eingezogen ausgebildet ist. Mit einer solchermaßen eingezogenen oberen Bodenplatte wird schlussendlich Material eingespart, was zur Kostenreduzierung führt. Darüber hinaus überlappen die beiden Bodenplatten einander in dem Bereich des Gelenkträgers. Wesentlich ist allerdings folgender Aspekt:Furthermore, it is provided that the front edge of the upper base plate is formed arcuate in the transition region to the lower base plate. With such a retracted upper base plate material is ultimately saved, which leads to cost reduction. In addition, the two bottom plates overlap each other in the region of the joint carrier. However, the following aspect is essential:

Durch die eingezogene obere Bodenplatte wird eine geringere Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen den beiden Bodenplatten bei Bewegung bewerkstelligt, als wenn im Gegensatz dazu die obere Bodenplatte die untere Bodenplatte großflächig überlappen würde. Dies dient schlussendlich dem Komfort der Fahrgäste und auch deren Sicherheit. Im Bereich der Stirnkanten der oberen Bodenplatte ist fernerhin eine Dichtlippe vorgesehen, um den Eintritt von Schmutz von oben in das Gelenk zu verhindern.Due to the retracted upper floor plate, a lower relative speed between the two floor panels is accomplished in motion, as if, in contrast, the upper floor panel would overlap the lower floor panel over a large area. This ultimately serves the comfort of passengers and their safety. Furthermore, a sealing lip is provided in the region of the end edges of the upper base plate in order to prevent the entry of dirt from above into the joint.

Die insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Übergangsbrücke umfasst die untere Bodenplatte 2 und die obere Bodenplatte 3. Die untere Bodenplatte 2 lagert auf den beiden Gelenkböcken 4, die am Chassis des Vorderwagens 5 befestigt sind. Die obere Bodenplatte 3 lagert auf dem mit 20 bezeichneten Gelenkträger und ist sowohl mit diesem als auch mit dem Chassis 6 des Hinterwagens starr durch Schrauben verbunden. Zwischen oberer Bodenplatte 3 und dem Gelenkträger 20 befindet sich ein nach Art einer Tasche ausgebildeter vertikaler Abstand X (Figur 2), der der beweglichen Aufnahme der unteren Bodenplatte 2 dient. Der Gelenkträger 20 zeigt darüber hinaus eine Traverse 21, die sich parallel zur Querachse des Gelenkes bzw. parallel zur Querachse des Fahrzeugs insgesamt erstreckt, wobei die untere Bodenplatte auf der Traverse 21 verschieblich ruht. Hierzu besitzt die Traverse 21 Gleitelemente 9, auf denen die untere Bodenplatte gleitet. Weitere Gleitelemente 9 zwischen der unteren Bodenplatte 2 und dem Gelenkträger 20 zeigt der Gelenkträger 20 für die untere Bodenplatte 2. Die Anordnung der Gleitelemente kann aber auch umgekehrt, d. h. an der Bodenplatte erfolgen.The transition bridge, generally designated 1, comprises the lower base plate 2 and the upper base plate 3. The lower base plate 2 rests on the two articulation blocks 4, which are fastened to the chassis of the front carriage 5. The upper bottom plate 3 rests on the joint carrier designated 20 and is rigidly connected by screws to both this and the chassis 6 of the rear carriage. Between the upper base plate 3 and the joint carrier 20 there is a trained in the manner of a pocket vertical distance X (Figure 2), which serves for the movable receptacle of the lower base plate 2. The joint carrier 20 also shows a traverse 21, the extends parallel to the transverse axis of the joint or parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle as a whole, wherein the lower base plate slidably rests on the traverse 21. For this purpose, the traverse 21 has sliding elements 9, on which slides the lower base plate. Other sliding elements 9 between the lower base plate 2 and the joint carrier 20 shows the joint carrier 20 for the lower base plate 2. The arrangement of the sliding elements but can also be reversed, that is done on the bottom plate.

Die Ausbildung des Gelenkes selbst stellt sich wie folgt dar:The formation of the joint itself is as follows:

Das insgesamt mit 30 bezeichnete Gelenk besitzt die beiden Gelenkarme 31 und 32, die einander kreuzen. An ihrem einen Ende sind die beiden Gelenkarme jeweils an dem Gelenkbock 4 mit Hilfe eines Lagers 4a drehbar gelagert. An ihrem anderen Ende werden die Gelenkarme 31 und 32 durch den Gelenkträger 20 aufgenommen. Auch der Gelenkträger 20 besitzt zur drehbaren Aufnahme der beiden Gelenkarme jeweils ein Lager 20a. Endseitig sind die Gelenkarme jeweils mit einem Nocken 31 a bzw. 32a versehen, wobei an den Nocken jeweils eine Kolbenzylindereinheit 25 angeordnet ist, die mit dem Lagerbock 26 des Gelenkträgers 20 verbunden ist. Die Anlenkung der Kolbenzylindereinheit 25 bzw. des Dämpfers 25 sowohl an dem Nocken 31 a bzw. 32a als auch dem Lagerbock 26 ist jeweils drehgelenkig gehalten.The generally designated 30 joint has the two articulated arms 31 and 32, which intersect each other. At one end, the two articulated arms are each rotatably mounted on the hinge bracket 4 by means of a bearing 4a. At its other end, the articulated arms 31 and 32 are received by the joint carrier 20. The joint carrier 20 also has a bearing 20a for rotatably receiving the two articulated arms. The end of the articulated arms are each provided with a cam 31 a and 32 a, wherein on the cam in each case a piston-cylinder unit 25 is arranged, which is connected to the bearing block 26 of the joint carrier 20. The articulation of the piston-cylinder unit 25 and the damper 25 both on the cam 31 a and 32 a and the bearing block 26 is each held pivotally.

Die untere Bodenplatte 2 zeigt darüber hinaus im Bereich des Mittelpunktes des Lagers 4a des Gelenkbockes 4 ein Scharnier 8, um die untere Bodenplatte nach oben verschwenken zu können. Die obere Bodenplatte 3 besitzt im Bereich des Überganges zur unteren Bodenplatte 2 stirnseitig einen bogenförmigen Einzug 12, wobei der Einzug 12 in etwa dem Verlauf der Traverse 21 nachempfunden ist. Die das stirnseitige Ende bildende Dichtlippe ist mit 23 bezeichnet. Diese Dichtlippe verhindert das Eindringen von Schmutz in das Gelenk.The lower base plate 2 also shows in the region of the center of the bearing 4a of the hinge bracket 4, a hinge 8 in order to pivot the lower base plate upwards. The upper bottom plate 3 has in the region of the transition to the lower bottom plate 2 frontally an arcuate indentation 12, wherein the indentation 12 is modeled on the course of the traverse 21 approximately. The the front end forming sealing lip is denoted by 23. This sealing lip prevents the ingress of dirt into the joint.

Die untere Bodenplatte 2 zeigt darüber hinaus im Bereich des Gelenkträgers 20 einen giebelförmigen Verlauf, gekennzeichnet durch den Pfeil 16, um bei Kurvenfahrt zu verhindern, dass die untere Bodenplatte über die obere Bodenplatte 3 seitlich übersteht.The lower base plate 2 also shows in the region of the joint carrier 20 has a gable-shaped course, characterized by the arrow 16 to prevent when cornering that the lower bottom plate over the upper bottom plate 3 protrudes laterally.

Der die Brücke und das Gelenk umgebende Balg ist in der Zeichnung weggelassen.The bellows surrounding the bridge and joint is omitted in the drawing.
