Definitions

  • the width of articulated railway trains is imposed by the gauge available around the railway.
  • the template is the volume centered on the axis of the railway and extending along its length which is left free of any obstacle for the movement of the train.
  • the respect of the template is particularly critical in the curves, where the ends of railway vehicles protrude out of the way, while the middle part of each vehicle protrudes inward of the track. This is true especially for vehicles with two bogies, whether articulated or conventional.
  • the articulated trains comprise semi-trailer vehicles articulated one after the other.
  • Such an arrangement is described, for example, in the application FR-2.632.912.
  • a semi-trailer vehicle comprises a body carried by a single hinged support truck which is offset axially with respect to the center of the body. At its end opposite to that supported by the bogie, the body rests on the adjacent vehicle.
  • the semitrailer vehicles are asymmetrical, that is to say that they are not identical at each end.
  • the oars conventionally comprise, at each end, an end vehicle called pilot vehicle for the movement of trains in one direction or the other.
  • the semi-trailer vehicles are arranged between these pilot vehicles.
  • the asymmetry of the structure of the semi-trailer vehicles makes their arrangement between the two pilot vehicles difficult. In particular, optimizing the length of the train and the number of axles or bogies required is tricky.
  • the invention aims to provide an articulated train comprising semi-trailer vehicles, which provides an improved compromise between the length of the train and the number of bogies implemented.
  • the subject of the invention is an articulated train of the aforementioned type, characterized in that it comprises a connecting box arranged between the two chains of semi-trailer vehicles, the chains of semi-trailer vehicles being articulated to both ends of the box.
  • FIG. 1 is shown an articulated train 10 for example for the transport of passengers.
  • This train comprises a set of vehicles connected to each other by a hinge.
  • the train is generally symmetrical about a median vertical axis X-X.
  • pilot vehicle 12A, 12B having, at its free end, a suitable aerodynamic profile. Between the two pilot vehicles 12A, 12B are provided two opposite chains 14A, 14B of semi-trailer vehicles.
  • Chains 14A, 14B are articulated at one end of the pilot vehicles 12A, 12B. Chains of opposite semi-trailer vehicles 14A, 14B are connected to each other by a connecting vehicle 16 disposed in the median position in the train.
  • each chain of semi-trailer vehicles 14A, 14B consists of a set of semi-trailer vehicles articulated to each other. There are two of these in Figure 1 and are designated 18A, 20A and 18B, 20B, respectively.
  • the semi-trailer vehicles are each adapted to accommodate passengers.
  • Each semitrailer vehicle is formed of a box 30 and a single support truck 32.
  • the bogie is formed, in the embodiment shown, of two axles 34 held parallel and supported by a bogie frame 36.
  • Bogie frame 36 is hinged relative to the body around a vertical axis YY.
  • the hinge axis Y-Y is offset longitudinally relative to the center of the vehicle body, so that the vehicle body generally extends overhang on one side relative to the bogie.
  • the center of the body is the center of gravity G.
  • the side of the body of which is disposed the inter-vehicle joint located at a distance from the bogie is called front of the vehicle while the side of which is arranged the bogie is called rear of the vehicle.
  • the body At the rear of the vehicle, beyond the Y-Y axis, the body has, at a bearing end 40, an axial extension forming a support bracket for the body of an adjacent vehicle.
  • This bearing end is equipped with means 42 for articulation and support of an adjacent vehicle consisting of a part of a ball joint.
  • means 44 of articulation and bearing on the bearing end of an adjacent vehicle formed of the complementary part of a ball joint At the rear of the vehicle, beyond the Y-Y axis, the body has, at a bearing end 40, an axial extension forming a support bracket for the body of an adjacent vehicle.
  • This bearing end is equipped with means 42 for articulation and support of an adjacent vehicle consisting of a part of a ball joint.
  • means 44 of articulation and bearing on the bearing end of an adjacent vehicle formed of the complementary part of a ball joint At the rear of the vehicle, beyond the Y-Y axis, the body has, at a bearing end 40, an axial extension forming a support bracket for the
  • two adjacent semi-trailer vehicles are connected to each other by a ball joint ensuring in particular a hinge about a vertical axis ZZ formed by cooperation of the hinge and support means 42 integrated in the bearing end 40 and articulation and support means 44 provided in front of the other vehicle.
  • each chain of semi-trailer vehicles 14A, 14B is connected to a pilot vehicle 12A, 12B from the carrying end 40 of the last semi-trailer vehicle.
  • the pilot vehicle is formed, in this embodiment, a box 50 and a single bogie 52 supporting the body.
  • This bogie is disposed between the free end of the pilot vehicle and the center G thereof. It comprises two axles 54 constantly parallel and a bogie frame 56.
  • the bogie frame is hinged relative to the body 50 about a vertical axis T-T.
  • each pilot vehicle comprises means 58 of articulation and support adapted to cooperate with the hinge and support means 42 integrated with the bearing end 40 provided for in FIG. rear end of the chain of semi-trailer vehicles 14A.
  • the pilot vehicle is an intermediate semi-trailer vehicle equipped with a cockpit.
  • the cooperation of the articulation means 58 and 42 ensures an articulated connection of the pilot vehicle and the adjacent semi-trailer vehicle about a U-U vertical axis.
  • the chains of semi-trailer vehicles are arranged in the opposite direction, that is to say that the front and rear ends of the opposing chain vehicles are reversed.
  • the connecting vehicle 16 comprises a box 70 suitable for accommodating passengers.
  • This body is supported by two bogies 72A, 72B hinged relative to the body.
  • each bogie comprises two axles 74A, 74B supported by a bogie frame 76A, 76B. These frames are hinged relative to the body around vertical V-V axes arranged on either side of the center of the body 70 of the connecting vehicle.
  • the connecting vehicle has a bearing end 80A, 80B extending the box 70.
  • This bearing end is equipped with hinge and support means 82A, 82B adapted to cooperate with the hinge and support means 44 provided at the front of vehicles adjacent semi-trailers 20A, 20B of the chains 14A and 14B.
  • the vehicles 20A, 20B of the semi-trailer vehicle chains are articulated to the connecting vehicles 16 about axes PP extending vertically.
  • heavy equipment such as transformers are installed in the box 70 of the intermediate vehicle 16.
  • the geared gear units for moving the train are advantageously placed in the pilot vehicles 12A and 12B.
  • the connecting vehicle 16 allows to increase the length of the train from the box 70 it includes and allows, thanks to its two axles, to support the chains of vehicles semi-trailers completed by the pilot vehicles 12A, 12B which are also semi-trailer type.
  • Figure 2 is shown another embodiment of a train according to the invention.
  • the pilot vehicles 112A, 112B comprise a box 150 and two bogies 152. These bogies each comprise two axles 154 and a support frame 156. The bogies are hinged relative to the body 150 of the vehicle around. QQ axes extending vertically.

  • a joint is formed between the pilot vehicle and the adjacent semi-trailer vehicle about a vertical axis RR.
  • the connecting vehicle 116 is completely devoid of axles and therefore bogie, in this embodiment. It comprises only a box 170 equipped, at each end, means 172 of articulation and support adapted to cooperate with the hinge and support means 42 equipping the bearing ends 40 provided at the rear ends of the semi-trailer vehicles adjacent .
  • a hinge about a vertical axis S-S is formed at each end of the connecting vehicle with the chains of semi-trailer vehicles 14A, 14B.
  • the connecting vehicle 116 contributes to increasing the length of the convoy, without the need for a support bogie, the connecting vehicle being supported by the adjacent semi-trailer vehicles. These are supported step by step by the pilot vehicles 112A, 112B which each comprise two bogies.
  • the bogies always comprise two parallel axles.
  • articulated bogies with respect to the boxes of vehicles comprise only one axle. The number of axles depends on the weight and the load of each box.
  • a reduced number of heavy elements is disposed in the body 170 of the connecting vehicle.
