Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a service and towing, in particular for rail vehicles, with a first rod which is hinged to a first vehicle attachable, with a second rod which is either directly or by means of a third rod hinged to a second vehicle attachable, with a locking bolt for releasably connecting the free end of the first rod to the free end of the second rod, and an actuating lever with which the locking bolt is movable to a release position and a locking position.
  • the term "rail vehicles” is to be understood in particular, but not exclusively, urban railways, streetcars, trolleys in underground mining, mountain railways and similar special vehicles.
  • the coupling according to the invention serves on the one hand in the context of the normal operation of train formation, ie the coupling and uncoupling of wagons to one another or from one another or to / from a tractor. Furthermore, the coupling also serves as a towing coupling between two rail vehicles.
  • Such couplings for rail vehicles are known in the art as so-called "Albert couplings”.
  • the one- or multi-part drawbar is connected to a console with a first vehicle usually releasably connected via a vertically arranged bolt horizontally pivotally. To stow the clutch in the unused condition under the vehicle stem, the pull rod or a part thereof can be folded.
  • an operating and towing coupling of the type mentioned is known for example from DE 197 19 917 A1.
  • the - one-piece - pull rod is designed to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction, so that the clutch in the unused state as far as possible under the Vehicle stem can be pushed.
  • a vehicle-side bracket has for receiving the vehicle-side end of the pull rod rotatably mounted in the console joint piece (there called "heart"). Both that vehicle-side end of the drawbar and the joint piece have at least one arranged in the vehicle transverse direction bore for receiving a locking bolt.
  • This locking pin is movable by means of an actuating lever from a release position into a Vernegelungs ein and vice versa.
  • the problem addressed by the present invention is based on the object of developing an operating and towing coupling of the type mentioned at the beginning and known from DE 197 19 917 A1 in such a way that an unintentional change in the release position or the locking position occurs Vibration or unintentional operation is avoided.
  • Another advantage of the solution according to the invention consists in that the flanges can be formed both as a hinge connection between two rods of a coupling, as well as a coupling head for connecting two vehicles or wagons.
  • the operating lever consists in a lever assembly, with at least one first lever and at least one second lever, which are connected at one of its ends by a bolt articulated, while the other end of the first lever to the first rod and the other end of the second lever with the locking bolt in articulated operative connection and the actuating lever engages the other end of the second lever.
  • the locking bolt can be moved out of its receiving bores during a pivoting of the actuating lever in the vertical direction or moved into it again.
  • the unlocking or locking of the first and the second rod of the coupling takes place.
  • the actuating lever is preferably angled, so that a sufficiently long lever arm is formed, which extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rods.
  • first lever and the second lever of the lever assembly are provided in pairs.
  • a rod is preferably provided, which rotatably extends through a the actuating end of the locking bolt transversely penetrating bore, and at the free ends of each of which the other end of the second lever of the lever assembly is attached.
  • the operating end of the locking bolt is formed quasi T-shaped, which allows a uniform train or pressure on the locking bolt to its movement from the locking position to the release position and vice versa.
  • a lateral flange is arranged at the free end of the first rod of the coupling, to which the respective other end of the first lever of the lever arrangement is articulated.
  • the free end of the first rod on the side opposite the side flange has a hinge flange which is connected to a counter flange on free end of the second rod is pivotally connected via a pivot pin.
  • This arrangement is further designed such that the second rod is pivotable in a parallel position to the first rod.
  • the second rod may also be a to be arranged between the first rod and a third rod center rod, which at one of its ends also a locking pin with actuating lever and Kochtot Vietnamesemechanik housed in a corresponding and arranged above already described flange may have.
  • Such a center rod can be very useful for extending the overall clutch length in certain vehicle or wagon constellations.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a service and towing, which is particularly, but not exclusively suitable for all types of rail vehicles such as city, street and trams, trolleys in underground operations, mountain railways and special rail vehicles.
  • the coupling has a first rod 1, which is articulated by means of a bracket 22 to a first vehicle fastened, and a second rod 2, which is either directly or by means of a third rod hinged to a second vehicle fastened.
  • the two rods 1 and 2 are hinged at their two free ends 4, 5 and detachably connected to each other by means of a locking mechanism '.
  • the locking mechanism has a locking bolt 3, which engages in the locked state in corresponding and mutually aligned receiving bores 23, 24 which are provided in corresponding lateral flanges 18, 25 of the first rod 1 and the second rod 2.
  • the closure mechanism further comprises an angled actuating lever 6, with which the locking pin 3 is movable into a release position and a locking position. In this illustration, the locking position is shown.
  • the locking mechanism is characterized in that the actuating lever 6 occupies an over-center position in the locking position and in the release position.
  • the fürtot Vietnameselage the locking position can be seen from this Fig. 1.
  • the fürtot Vietnameselage the release position can be seen from Fig. 7, which will be discussed below. From the locking position to the release position can be reached in this embodiment by the free lever arm of the operating lever 6 is pivoted counterclockwise by about 180 °.
  • the Studentstot Vietnamese ensures both in the locking position (Fig. 1) and in the release position (Fig. 7) sure that even strong vibrations or a unintentional contact of the operating lever at its corresponding end position (release or locking) do not change anything.
  • Fig. 2 shows in a perspective view a section of the coupling with a view of the front closure mechanism between the rods 1 and 2, wherein also the view is given to the second locking mechanism at the free end of the rod 2 in this illustration.
  • the locking mechanism comprises in this preferred embodiment, a lever assembly 7 for generating the Kochtot Vietnameselage the actuating lever 6 with the following components: First, a first pair of levers 8, 8 'is provided, which at one end by a bolt 10, 10' hinged to a pair of second Lever 9, 9 'are connected.
  • the other ends 11, 11 'of the first pair of levers 8, 8' are hinged to the lateral flange 18 of the rod 1, while the other ends 12, 12 'of the second pair of levers 9, 9' are in articulated engagement with the locking pin 3.
  • the angled operating lever 6 engages the other ends 12, 12 'of the second pair of levers 9, 9', by the leg 6 'of the operating lever 6 running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the coupling with the ends 12, 12' of the second lever pair 9, 9 'firmly connected, preferably welded.
  • This illustration shows the locking position in which the locking mechanism or the actuating lever 6 is in an over-center position.
  • FIG. 3 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 2, in which, however, the actuating lever 6 has already been pivoted counterclockwise by approximately 45 ° with the aim of unlocking the locking bolt 3. Accordingly, the pair of second lever 9, 9 'pivots with, and the pair of first lever 8, 8' also pivots to compensate for the articulation points on the side flange 18, whereby despite the pivoting movements of the actuating lever 6, the first lever 8, 8 ' and the second lever 9, 9 'in the vertical direction downwardly extending tensile force is exerted on the locking pin 3.
  • the ends 12, 12 'of the second pair of levers 9, 9' engage the free ends 16, 17 of a rod 13 which rotatably extends through a the actuating end 14 of the locking bolt 3 transversely penetrating bore 15.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 show perspective views of the two-part coupling according to FIG. 1 in different unlocking phases.
  • the illustrated locking state is converted into an unlocking state that the actuating lever 6 against the Clockwise from the illustrated in Fig. 1, approximately horizontal position in the illustrated in Fig. 6, also nearly horizontal position is pivoted by approximately 180 °.
  • the operating lever 6 passes by means of the lever assembly 7 from the locking over-center position in the unlocking Studentstot Vietnameselage, and the locking pin 3 is constantly perpendicular by the lever assembly 7 on the way from the locking state shown in Fig. 1 to the unlocking state shown in Fig.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show this pivoting, wherein in Fig. 8, the almost completely folded state of the rods 1 and 2 is already shown. Furthermore, in FIG. 8, the locking bolt 3 is already back in its locking position, where it has come from the state shown in Fig. 7 by pivoting the operating lever 6 in the clockwise direction by approximately 180 °. To accommodate the operating and towing hitch entirely under the (not shown) vehicle stem, the approximately parallel rods 1 and 2 of the clutch can now be pivoted to the bracket 22 around the pivot pin 26 around to the right.
  • the rod 2 at its free end in this embodiment an identical shape design, as the vehicle facing away from the end of the rod 1.
  • the second rod 2 also quite in the sense of Extension can be a center rod arranged between the first rod 1 and a third rod (not shown), which has the same locking mechanism as the rod 1 for this purpose.
  • the free end of the second rod 2 can of course also be designed in the same way as the vehicle-side end of the first rod 1 and connected in the same way to the (not shown) second vehicle become.
