Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rail vehicle with a car body, which has at at least one end of the car behind a terminal carrier of the car body compression zone, and with a central buffer coupling extending from a substantially vertical pivot axis extending to the end of the car and with the car body via a Kupplungsschlitfen connected is. .
  • the coupling In rail vehicles equipped with central buffer coupling and compression zone located directly behind the end beam, the coupling is usually mounted behind the compression zone on the body.
  • the clutches In the case of a frontal collision, the clutches initially meet. Frequently, the clutches contain shock-absorbing and / or resilient elements which, while being shortened in the longitudinal direction, absorb at least part of the impact energy. If the energy dissipation in the clutches is not sufficient, which is the case with higher collision speeds between the vehicles, the accumulation zone located behind each end carrier for each carriage should then control the rest of the impact energy and prevent or limit damage to the remainder of the vehicle and thereby protect people.
  • the coupling is separated from the car body via a desired shear point in order to avoid that the collision force via parallel load paths (coupling and compression zone of the car body ) is introduced into the car bodies and impermissibly high total forces occur in the car bodies.
  • parallel load paths coupled and compression zone of the car body
  • EP 0 612 647 A1 also a rail vehicle is described in which a coupling connection takes place directly on the end support and thus no shearing of the coupling from the car body, no bridging the arranged between the end carrier and rigid car body region upset zone or the like is required.
  • the construction proposed in this invention for the end support and the compression zone of the car body only works with relatively long headland areas and short coupling rods.
  • the EP 1 468 889 A1 shows a conventional coupling arrangement of a central buffer coupling with energy absorbing elements and an additional overload protection by arranging a crash element directly behind the coupling connection.
  • DE 32 28 941 A1 described a downstream of a central buffer coupling device for receiving oversized shocks.
  • the coupling plate is connected in this case with a bumper, which is guided longitudinally displaceable and attached to the front end of the climbing protection. Behind the coupling connection plate, a crash element is arranged.
  • a crash element is arranged.
  • the FR 2 698 840 A1 refers to a rail vehicle with an end beam, behind which there is a crush zone with crash elements. At the front of the End farthers a clutch is arranged. This coupling is attached to a sliding element, which in turn is arranged in a second sliding element such that it can be displaced in a collision case relative to the second sliding element.
  • the second sliding element protrudes into the compression zone in sections and is rigidly connected to the end support by means of shear elements which have to shear off before the plastic deformation of the crash elements.
  • the coupling connection and guide is an integral part of the car body undercarriage, and thus requires a special form of the coupling and the overall construction of the car body stem.
  • Fig. 1a to 1c The solution described in the introduction for rail vehicles with central buffer coupling and immediately behind the end carrier arranged compression zone according to the prior art is in the Fig. 1a to 1c shown schematically.
  • the car body WKA a rail vehicle not shown in detail has at its end faces a transversely to the direction of travel extending end carrier ETR, which ends in a Aufkletterschutz AKS.
  • Such an arrangement is well known and goes for example from the WO 2004/110842 A1 Towards the center of the car, a compression zone STA connects, which can deform in a controlled collision.
  • the coupling arm KAM is telescopically collapsible when the force applied exceeds a certain amount in the event of a collision, for which purpose, for example, a deformation element DEF can be used as indicated.
  • a deformation element DEF can be used as indicated.
  • at least in the coupling arm KAM shock-absorbing and / or resilient elements are included, such as in the US 3,149,731 A to see.
  • Fig. 1b shows a first phase of a collision, in which the force acting on the coupling end piece has become so large that the deformation element DEF has responded and the coupling arm KAM has been pushed together.
  • the climbing protectors AKS of the colliding wagons begin to interlock and the introduction of force is to take place via the anti-climb protection, so that the effect of the compression zone can begin.
  • shear as in Fig. 1c shown shear as in Fig. 1c shown, the bolt SBO off and on the coupling KUP is now - as desired - no force application possible.
  • the total force on the car body is thus defined by the occurring in the compression zone deformation of the compression elements provided there.
  • the shearing of the clutch involves the risk of derailment, since the coupling can catch on the track bed, can collide with the bogie etc.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a coupling connection for a rail vehicle with central buffer coupling and directly behind the end carrier arranged compression zone, in which a shearing of the coupling is not required to unwanted Parallel load paths, namely coupling on the one hand and compression zone on the other hand, to avoid in the event of a collision. This is to limit the delays in the passenger area and ensure the stability of this area. In addition, the problems that may arise from a sheared coupling omitted.
  • FIG. 2a to 2c shows in a similar view as Fig.1 However, for two vehicles coupled together the invention in a simplified and schematic representation.
  • the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as in FIG Fig. 1a to 1c ,
  • the coupling KUP fixedly fixed to the underside of a coupling carriage KSL, here - in contrast to the prior art - no shear bolt or the like are used.
  • the Kupplurigsschlitten KSL is attached to an end carrier ETR of the car body WKA and runs from here, bridging the compression zone STA, towards the center of the car. He is mounted longitudinally displaceable after the compression zone STA on a central longitudinal member MLT of the car body WKA, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the two adjacent vehicles are pushed against each other, wherein initially the mutually engaging coupling arms KAM are telescoped together overcoming the deformation elements DEF, until in the first phase of a collision, as in Fig. 2b Shown, the climbing protectors AKS of both vehicles intertwine.
  • the coupling arms may also be designed in accordance with other known types and, for example, may have integrated damping elements, etc.
  • the coupling carriage is guided on a center longitudinal member of the carbody.
  • a favorable in practice leadership of the coupling carriage is obtained when the coupling carriage identifies at its inner end two mutually projecting U-shaped guides, which comprise seated on the car body guide webs.
  • the invention proves to be very advantageous in the case of a rail vehicle in which a coupling arm extending from an attachment point on the coupling carriage in the direction of the end of the carriage to a coupling end piece is collapsible telescopically in the event of a collision by overcoming a deformation element or after shearing off an internal overload protection.
  • FIG. 3a and 3b in a perspective view obliquely from below and in front the car body of a rail vehicle according to the invention, including a coupling carriage in its initial state or deformed in a collision state in a 3D crash simulation, for better visibility, the actual coupling is not shown,
  • Fig. 4 in a plan view of a front portion of a car body with arranged thereon coupling carriage and the coupling
  • Fig. 5 a section along the line VV the Fig. 4 in an enlarged view
  • Fig. 6 a section along the line VI-VI of Fig. 4 , also in an enlarged view and
  • Fig. 7 the detail VII of the Fig. 5 in an enlarged view.
  • FIG. 3a shows the condition at the front of a car before a start. It can be seen that a coupling carriage KSL is fastened with one end to an end carrier ETR of the carriage. With this end carrier and the climbing protection AKS is connected or integrally formed.
  • the coupling carriage KSL extends in the direction of the center of the car and is guided at its other end by means of two U-shaped guides UFU projecting on both sides, in that these guide webs FST seated on the car body WKA comprise in the Fig. 3a and 3b the actual clutch, together with its coupling rod, has been omitted in order to better show the coupling carriage in this oblique bottom view.
  • the entire end carrier ETR is moved in the direction of the center of the car and the compression zone STA compressed accordingly.
  • the carriage KSL has now slid with its guides UFU along the guide webs FST in the direction of the carriage center.
  • FIG. 4 to 7 now show details of an actual embodiment In Fig. 4 - a top view - you can see on the left the outline of the climbing protection AKS. The coupling is also marked.
  • Fig. 5 shows an enlarged view of the leadership of the coupling carriage KSL on the center longitudinal member MLT of the car body.
  • the coupling carriage KSL each has a U-shaped guide UFU on its left and right sides, with each guide UFU embracing an associated guide web FST associated with the central longitudinal member.
  • each guide UFU has an upper leg OBS and a lower leg US.
  • an in Transverse adjustable wedge KEI provided, which is adjustable by means of a screw-nut arrangement, so that the pressure with which the guide UFU includes the web FST, can be adjusted.
  • the guide web FST is included with the interposition of plastic inserts KUE, which, for example, a seizure by rust should be avoided and the sliding friction between the guide bar FST and the coupling carriage KSL should be kept low.
  • FIG. 6 shows Fig. 6 in that the coupling carriage KSL is screwed to the end support ETR with the aid of bolts SCH, with a central bolt stub BST being provided for the defined and reliable introduction of force.
