Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Laufwerk für Schienenfahrzeuge mit wenigstens drei, in einem Drehgestellrahmen gelagerten Radsätzen und wenigstens einer eine Querverschiebung eines Endradsatzes ermöglichenden Lenkeinrichtung, wobei der Drehgestellrahmen in Längsrichtung gesehen mehrere Abschnitte aufweist, von denen wenigstens der in Fahrtrichtung gesehen vorderste Abschnitt, in dem der vorlaufende Radsatz angeordnet ist, horizontal schwenkbar mit einem zweiten, starren Abschnitt verbunden ist, wobei wenigstens der in Fahrtrichtung gesehen vorderste Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens, in dem der vorlaufende Radsatz angeordnet ist, als quer zur Längsachse des Drehgestellrahmens verschiebbares Parallelogramm ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a drive for rail vehicles with at least three, mounted in a bogie frame wheelsets and at least one transverse displacement of a Endradsatzes enabling steering device, the bogie frame seen in the longitudinal direction has several sections, of which at least viewed in the direction of travel foremost section in which the leading Wheel set is arranged horizontally pivotally connected to a second, rigid portion, wherein at least viewed in the direction of travel foremost portion of the bogie frame in which the leading wheelset is arranged as transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bogie frame displaceable parallelogram is formed.

Bei Schienenfahrzeugen, bei denen die Radsätze im Laufwerksrahmen in Längsrichtung starr bzw. mit wenig Längsspiel parallel geführt werden, entstehen durch die parallele Stellung vornehmlich an den Endradsätzen durch Anlaufen der Außenschiene in einem spitzen Anlaufwinkel erhöhte Querkräfte und erhöhter Verschleiß.In rail vehicles in which the wheelsets are guided in the longitudinal direction rigidly or with little longitudinal clearance in the drive frame, caused by the parallel position primarily on the Endradsätzen by tarnishing the outer rail in an acute starting angle increased lateral forces and increased wear.

Bei zwei- oder mehrachsigen Laufwerken ist es bereits bekannt, die Endradsätze durch Verschiebung quer zur Fahrtrichtung mittels schräg zur Längsrichtung des Fahrzeuges angeordneten Längslenkern in eine annähernd radiale Stellung zu steuern, wobei das Ausdrehen der schräg angeordneten Längslenker eine Längsverschiebung der Radsatzlager erzeugt, die jeweils links und rechts gegenläufig ist. Eine ähnliche Vorrichtung geht aus der DE 2 118 955 hervor.In two- or multi-axis drives, it is already known to control the Endradsätze by shifting transversely to the direction of obliquely arranged to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle trailing arms in an approximately radial position, the turning of the obliquely arranged trailing arm generates a longitudinal displacement of the wheelset bearing, each left and right is in opposite directions. A similar device goes out of the DE 2 118 955 out.

Zur Entlastung der Schiene von Zusatzkräften, die sich aus der Zwängung des Laufwerkes zwischen der Innen- und Außenschiene ergeben, ist ein bekanntes Laufwerk mit einem quer verschiebbaren Mittelradsatz ausgeführt.To relieve the rail of additional forces resulting from the constraint of the drive between the inner and outer rail, a known drive is designed with a transversely displaceable Mittelradsatz.

Auch die Koppelung der Querbewegungen der mittleren Radsätze mit der Radeinstellung der Endradsätze über Gestänge ist bereits aus verschiedenen Anordnungen bekannt, die jedoch meist von Längskräften durch Zug- oder Bremskräfte des Schienenfahrzeuges derart beeinflusst werden, dass der Steuereffekt negativ beeinflusst wird. Ein derartiges Lenkgestänge geht aus der JP 9-226575 hervor.The coupling of the transverse movements of the middle wheel sets with the wheel setting of Endradsätze via linkage is already known from various arrangements, but usually of longitudinal forces by tensile or braking forces of the rail vehicle are influenced so that the tax effect is adversely affected. Such a steering linkage goes out of the JP 9-226575 out.

Die DE 1 605 113 zeigt einen Niederflurwagen, wobei der Rahmen eines vorlaufenden Radsatzes vertikal gegenüber dem restlichen Rahmen verschwenkbar ist. Durch Silentblocklagerung kann dieser Rahmen des vorlaufenden Radsatzen, insbesondere dessen Innenachse, eine windschiefe Lage einnehmen.The DE 1 605 113 shows a low-floor car, wherein the frame of a leading wheel is vertically pivotable relative to the rest of the frame. By Silentblocklagerung this frame of the leading wheelsets, in particular its inner axis, assume a skewed position.

Weiterer gattungsfremder Stand der Technik geht aus der EP 0 765 791 B1 und der EP 0 046 457 hervor.Another genre foreign state of the art goes from the EP 0 765 791 B1 and the EP 0 046 457 out.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein dreiachsiges Laufwerk für Schienenfahrzeuge zu schaffen, das eine Begrenzung der auf den verschobenen Endradsatz wirkenden Querkräfte erlaubt und welches zudem eine konstruktiv einfache und robuste Lösung darstellt.The invention has for its object to provide a three-axle drive for rail vehicles, which allows a limitation of the forces acting on the shifted Endradsatz shear forces and which also represents a structurally simple and robust solution.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass die Lenkeinrichtung eine Stellvorrichtung zum Ausrichten des horizontal schwenkbaren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens in Längsrichtung des starren Drehgestellrahmenabschnittes aufweist, wobei die Stellvorrichtung wenigstens zwei gegengleich wirkende, vorzugsweise hydraulische Stellzylinder aufweist, die jeweils einem Radsatzlenker zugeordnet sind.According to the invention this is achieved in that the steering device comprises an adjusting device for aligning the horizontally pivotable portion of the bogie frame in the longitudinal direction of the rigid bogie frame portion, wherein the adjusting device has at least two counteracting, preferably hydraulic actuating cylinder, which are each associated with a Radsatzlenker.

Um den an den Radsätzen infolge der Querverschiebung des Radsatzes auftretenden Verschleiß gering halten zu können, hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn das seitliche Ausschwenken der Radsatzlenker, d.h. die Querverschiebung des schwenkbaren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens, begrenzt wird, was erfindungsgemäß dann erreicht wird, wenn die Lenkeinrichtung eine Stellvorrichtung zum Ausrichten des horizontal schwenkbaren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens in Längsrichtung des starren Drehgestellrahmenabschnittes aufweist.In order to keep the wear occurring on the wheelsets due to the transverse displacement of the wheel set low, it has proved to be advantageous if the lateral pivoting of the Radsatzlenker, i. the transverse displacement of the pivotable portion of the bogie frame is limited, which is achieved according to the invention when the steering device comprises an adjusting device for aligning the horizontally pivotable portion of the bogie frame in the longitudinal direction of the rigid bogie frame portion.

Eine konstruktiv einfache erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergibt sich dabei, wenn die Stellvorrichtung wenigstens zwei gegengleich wirkende, vorzugsweise hydraulische Stellzylinder aufweist, die jeweils einem Radsatzlenker zugeordnet sind und mit einem Ende an einem Radsatzlenker drehbeweglich gelagert sind und am gegenüberliegenden Ende mit dem starren Drehgestellrahmenabschnitt verbunden sind, vorzugsweise mit einem in den schwenkbaren vorderen Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens ragenden Halteelement des starren Drehgestellrahmenabschnittes.A structurally simple solution according to the invention results when the adjusting device has at least two counteracting, preferably hydraulic actuating cylinder, which are each associated with a Radsatzlenker and with a End are rotatably mounted on a Radsatzlenker and are connected at the opposite end to the rigid bogie frame portion, preferably with a projecting into the pivotable front portion of the bogie frame holding member of the rigid bogie frame portion.

Weisen dabei die über eine Versorgungsleitung wirkverbundenen Stellzylinder jeweils einen im Stellzylindergehäuse bewegbar angeordneten Innenzylinder sowie einen im Innenzylinder bewegbar gelagerten Kolben auf, dienen die Stellzylinder nicht nur als Begrenzungsvorrichtung für das seitliche Ausschwenken des schwenkbaren Abschnitts des Drehgestellrahmens, sondern ermöglichen zudem die Ausrichtung des Radsatzlenkerpaares in die exakten Längsrichtung des Drehgestellrahmens, insbesondere dann, wenn die beiden Kolben der beiden Stellzylinder mit einem vorzugsweise veränderbaren Systemdruck beaufschlagbar bzw. beaufschlagt sind.In this case, the actuating cylinders operatively connected via a supply line each have an inner cylinder movably mounted in the actuating cylinder housing and a piston movably mounted in the inner cylinder, the actuating cylinders not only serve as a limiting device for laterally swiveling the pivotable portion of the bogie frame, but also allow alignment of the pair of wheel set arms in the exact longitudinal direction of the bogie frame, in particular when the two pistons of the two actuating cylinders are acted upon or acted upon by a preferably variable system pressure.

Zu diesem Zweck sind gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung die Versorgungsleitungen mit einem Speicher, vorzugsweise einem Blasenspeicher, für das Druckmedium verbunden, wobei der Systemdruck über den Blasenspeicher und die Versorgungsleitungen weitgehend konstant gehalten wird.For this purpose, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the supply lines to a memory, preferably a bladder accumulator, connected to the pressure medium, wherein the system pressure on the bladder accumulator and the supply lines is kept substantially constant.

Da über den an den Stellzylindern herrschenden Systemdruck das seitliche Ausschwenken der bewegbaren Rahmenteile einstellbar ist, ist es möglich, über den Systemdruck die auf den Radsatz wirkenden Querkräfte zu limitieren und in einem Bereich zu halten, in dem zum einen der auftretende Verschleiß möglichst gering ausfällt und zum anderen Schlingerbewegungen, die bei frei beweglichen Rahmenteilen des Drehgestellrahmens auftreten können, reduziert bzw. zur Gänze vermieden werden können.Since the lateral swinging of the movable frame parts is adjustable via the system pressure prevailing on the adjusting cylinders, it is possible to limit the lateral forces acting on the wheelset via the system pressure and to keep them within a range in which the occurring wear is as low as possible and on the other roll movements that can occur in freely movable frame parts of the bogie frame, can be reduced or avoided completely.

Um den Verschleiß an den mechanischen Anschlägen zu minimieren, sieht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vor, dass der Innenzylinder und/oder der Kolben wenigstens eines Stellzylinders in einer oder beiden Endlagen mittels einer Dämpfvorrichtung gedämpft ist/sind, wobei es sich für eine wirksame Dämpfung der vertikalen, lateralen und longitudinalen Bewegungen des Radsatzes bzw. des Radsatzlagers als günstig herausgestellt hat, wenn die vorzugsweise hydraulische Dämpfeinrichtung in Abhängigkeit von der Fahrgeschwindigkeit des Schienenfahrzeuges und/oder der Auslenkung des schwenkbaren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens und/oder der Bewegungsrichtung des/der Innenzylinder(s) einstellbar ist.In order to minimize the wear on the mechanical stops, a further embodiment of the invention provides that the inner cylinder and / or the piston of at least one actuating cylinder is damped in one or both end positions by means of a damping device, it being for effective damping of vertical, lateral and longitudinal movements of the wheelset or the wheelset has been found to be favorable when the preferably hydraulic Damping device as a function of the speed of travel of the rail vehicle and / or the deflection of the pivotable portion of the bogie frame and / or the direction of movement of the / the inner cylinder (s) is adjustable.

Dadurch, dass die Querverschiebung des Endradsatzes nicht mehr wie beim Stand der Technik mit separaten Lenkern, sondern erfindungsgemäß direkt mittels eines schwenkbaren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens erfolgt, wird eine äußerst robuste Ausführung erreicht, die eine Begrenzung der Querkraft auch bei Achslasten bis zu 250 kN sowie Fahrgeschwindigkeiten bis zu 230 km/h erlaubt.Due to the fact that the transverse displacement of the Endradsatzes no longer as in the prior art with separate links, but according to the invention directly by means of a pivoting portion of the bogie frame, an extremely robust design is achieved, limiting the lateral force even at axle loads up to 250 kN and driving speeds up to 230 km / h allowed.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist der Drehgestellrahmen drei Abschnitte, in denen jeweils ein Radsatz gelagert ist, auf, wobei der vordere Abschnitt mit dem vorlaufenden Radsatz und der hintere Abschnitt mit dem nachlaufenden Radsatz horizontal schwenkbar mit dem mittleren starren Abschnitt verbunden ist bzw. sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bogie frame three sections, in each of which a wheel is mounted, on, wherein the front portion is connected to the leading wheel and the rear portion with the trailing wheel horizontally pivotally connected to the central rigid portion or are ,

Um das Verhältnis zwischen den im Wesentlichen quer zur Längsrichtung des Laufwerkes und den vertikal auf einen Radsatz wirkenden Kräften auf zulässigen Werten, vorzugsweise kleiner 1:3, halten zu können, sieht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vor, dass die Lenkeinrichtung zum Querverschieben wenigstens eines Endradsatzes um mehr als 30 mm, vorzugsweise mehr als 50 mm, ausgebildet und angeordnet ist, wobei auch Querverschiebungen von 90 mm und mehr möglich und erwünscht wird.In order to be able to maintain the ratio between the forces acting essentially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the drive and the forces acting vertically on a wheel set, preferably smaller than 1: 3, another embodiment of the invention provides for the steering device to shift at least one end wheel set transversely by more than 30 mm, preferably more than 50 mm, is formed and arranged, with transverse displacements of 90 mm and more is possible and desirable.

Gemäß einem weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Lenkeinrichtung zwei Radsatzlenker auf, die von schwenkbaren Teilen des Drehgestellrahmens gebildet sind, wobei die im Wesentlichen parallelen Radsatzlenker, die in Bezug auf die Mittellängsachse des Drehgestellrahmens gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind, an ihrem einen Ende gelenkig mit dem starren Teil des Drehgestellrahmens verbunden sind und über eine vorzugsweise am gegenüberliegenden Ende angeordnete Führungsstange miteinander gekoppelt sind. Anders ausgedrückt, sind die in Längsrichtung des Laufwerkes angeordneten Teile des Drehrahmengestelles im vorderen und/oder hinteren Abschnitt des Drehrahmengestelles schwenkbar am mittleren starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens gelagert und bilden auf diese Weise zwei beidseits der Mittellängsachse des Laufwerks parallel angeordnete Radsatzlenker, wobei die Parallelität der beiden Radsatzlenker über eine die beiden Radsatzlenker miteinander koppelnde Führungsstange sichergestellt wird. Das heißt, der schwenkbare Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens wird als Parallelogramm quer zur Längsachse des Drehgestellrahmens verschoben.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the steering device comprises two wheelsets, which are formed by pivotal parts of the bogie frame, wherein the substantially parallel Radsatzlenker, which are arranged with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the bogie frame, at one end hinged to the rigid Part of the bogie frame are connected and coupled to each other via a preferably arranged at the opposite end guide rod. In other words, arranged in the longitudinal direction of the drive parts of the rotary frame frame in the front and / or rear portion of the Bogie frame pivotally mounted on the central rigid portion of the bogie frame and form in this way two on both sides of the central longitudinal axis of the drive arranged in parallel Radsatzlenker, the parallelism of the two Radsatzlenker is ensured via a two Radsatzlenker coupling rod together. That is, the pivotable portion of the bogie frame is moved as a parallelogram transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bogie frame.

Um dem erfindungsgemäßen Drehgestellrahmen trotz der Schwenkbarkeit eines Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens die notwendige Stabilität zu verleihen, ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Radsatzlenker von der Seite betrachtet im Wesentlichen L-förmig ausgebildet sind und mit ihren vertikalen Schenkeln über wenigstens ein, vorzugsweise zwei Gelenk(e), vorzugsweise Gelenklager, räumlich bewegbar mit dem starren Teil des Drehgestellrahmens verbunden sind, wodurch der schwenkbare Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens nicht nur horizontal bewegbar ist, sondern auch vertikale Relativbewegungen zwischen dem schwenkbaren und dem starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens ausgeglichen werden können.In order to impart the necessary stability to the bogie frame according to the invention despite the pivotability of a portion of the bogie frame is provided according to a further embodiment of the invention that the wheelset seen from the side are substantially L-shaped and with their vertical legs over at least one, preferably two joint (s), preferably spherical bearings are spatially movably connected to the rigid part of the bogie frame, whereby the pivotable portion of the bogie frame is not only horizontally movable, but also vertical relative movements between the pivotable and the rigid portion of the bogie frame can be compensated.

Zur Übertragung der Zug- und Bremskräfte der Radsätze auf den Drehgestellrahmen sieht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vor, dass wenigstens ein Radsatz des Laufwerkes über vorzugsweise zwei Zug-/Druckstangen mit dem starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens gekoppelt ist, wobei die Zug-/Druckstangen an ihrem einen Ende mit dem vorzugsweise als Träger für die Primärfedern ausgebildeten Achslagergehäuse und an ihrem anderen Ende mit dem starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens bewegbar verbunden sind.To transmit the tensile and braking forces of the wheelsets on the bogie frame provides a further embodiment of the invention that at least one wheel of the drive is coupled via preferably two pull / push rods with the rigid portion of the bogie frame, the pull / push rods on her one end with the preferably formed as a support for the primary springs axle box and are connected at its other end to the rigid portion of the bogie frame movable.

Ist dabei der Abstand der Umlenkpunkte der Zug-/Druckstangen wenigstens an einem in einem schwenkbaren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens angeordneten Radsatz größer, als der Abstand der Umlenkpunkte der Zug-/Druckstangen am starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens, ergibt sich infolge der schrägen Anordnung der Zug-/Druckstangen ein Lenkwinkel, um den die bei Geradeausfahrt zur Längsachse des starren Abschnittes des Drehgestellrahmens normale Radsatzachse verschwenkt werden kann. Dabei hängt der Lenkwinkel vom Spreizwinkel, den die beiden schräg angeordneten Zug-/Druckstangen miteinander einschließen, ab.Is the distance between the deflection points of the push / push rods at least at one arranged in a pivotable portion of the bogie frame wheelset greater than the distance of the deflection of the push / pull rods on the rigid portion of the bogie frame, resulting from the oblique arrangement of train / Push rods a steering angle by which the normal when driving straight to the longitudinal axis of the rigid portion of the bogie frame axle can be pivoted. The steering angle depends on the spread angle, which includes the two diagonally arranged pull / push rods with each other, from.

Um die Ungleichheit beim seitlichen Ausschwenken zwischen dem an sich losen Radsatz und dem mittels der Stellzylinder geführten schwenkbaren Rahmenteile des Drehgestellrahmens auszugleichen und damit zu verhindern, dass sich die zwischen dem Radsatz und den schwenkbaren Teilen des Drehgestellrahmens angeordneten Primärfedern zu stark verwinden bzw. verdrillen, sieht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Ereindung vor, dass zwischen den Primärfedern des Radsatzes und den schwenkbaren Teilen des Drehgestellrahmens vorzugsweise plattenförmige Gleitelemente angeordnet sind, an denen sich die Primärfedern mit ihrem dem Träger gegenüberliegenden Ende abstützen, wobei eine konstruktiv besonders einfache Lösung dann erreicht wird, wenn die Gleitelemente bewegbar, vorzugsweise über einen Zapfen zentriert, an den schwenkbaren Teilen des Drehgestellrahmens angeordnet sind.In order to compensate for the inequality in the lateral swinging between the loose wheelset and guided by means of the actuating cylinder pivotal frame parts of the bogie frame and thus to prevent that arranged between the wheelset and the pivotal parts of the bogie frame primary springs too strong twist or see a further embodiment of the ereindung that between the primary springs of the wheel and the pivotal parts of the bogie frame preferably plate-shaped sliding elements are arranged, at which the primary springs are supported with its opposite end of the carrier, a structurally particularly simple solution is achieved when the Sliding elements movable, preferably centered about a pin, are arranged on the pivotable parts of the bogie frame.

Zur Entlastung des Laufwerkes von den mittels den Zug-/Druckstangen von den Radsätzen auf das Laufwerk übertragenen Zug- und Bremskräften, ist gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Laufwerk mit dem Fahrzeugkasten des Schienenfahrzeuges über eine Vorrichtung zum Übertragen der Brems- und Zugkräfte verbunden ist, wobei die Vorrichtung ein erstes mit dem Fahrzeugkasten drehgelenkig verbundenes Anlenkelement und ein zweites mit dem Laufwerk, insbesondere mit dem starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens, drehgelenkig verbundenes Anlenkelement und ein die beiden Anlenkelemente verbindendes Verbindungselement aufweist, wobei eine möglichst geringe Radsatzentlastung dann erreicht wird, wenn die Vorrichtung zum Übertragen der Brems- und Zugkräfte in Bezug auf die Radsatzachsen tieferliegend angeordnet ist.To relieve the drive from the transmitted by means of the push / pull rods of the wheelsets on the drive train and braking forces is provided according to a further embodiment of the invention that the drive to the vehicle body of the rail vehicle via a device for transmitting the Braking and pulling forces is connected, wherein the device has a first pivotally connected to the vehicle body pivoting element and a second with the drive, in particular with the rigid portion of the bogie frame, pivotally connected coupling element and a connecting element connecting the two hinge elements, with the lowest possible Radsatzentlastung is reached when the device for transmitting the braking and pulling forces is arranged lying in relation to the wheelset axles deeper.

Die Fig. 1a und 1b zeigen schematisch ein Schienenfahrzeug 1 in Ansicht und Draufsicht, bei dem der Fahrzeugkasten 24 auf zwei erfindungsgemäßen Laufwerken 20 gelagert ist. Jedes Laufwerk weist dabei drei Radsätze 3, 3' auf, die in einem Drehgestellrahmen angeordnet sind. Insbesondere aus Fig. 1b ist ersichtlich, dass die beiden Endradsätze 3' der Laufwerke 20 des Schienenfahrzeuges 1 ausgeschwenkt bzw. quer verschoben sind.The Fig. 1a and 1b schematically show a rail vehicle 1 in view and plan view, in which the vehicle body 24 is mounted on two drives 20 according to the invention. Each drive has three sets of wheels 3, 3 ', which are arranged in a bogie frame. In particular from Fig. 1b it can be seen that the both Endradsätze 3 'of the drives 20 of the rail vehicle 1 are swung or moved transversely.

Die Fig. 2a bis 2c zeigen mehrere Anordnungsmöglichkeiten für Radsätze 3, 3' in einem erfindungsgemäßen Laufwerk 20. Dabei ist in Fig. 2a nur der vordere Endradsatz 3' quer verschiebbar bzw. schwenkbar im Laufwerk 20 angeordnet, während bei Fig. 2b beide Endradsätze 3' quer verschiebbar bzw. schwenkbar am Drehgestellrahmen angeordnet sind. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2c ist der vordere Endradsatz 3' wiederum quer verschiebbar im Laufwerk 20 angeordnet. Im Gegensatz zu den Ausführungsbeispielen nach Fig. 2a und 2b wird der Radsatz 3' jedoch nicht verschwenkt. Bei allen gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen befindet sich der Drehpunkt des Laufwerkes vertikal über dem mittleren starren Radsatz 3.The Fig. 2a to 2c show several possible arrangements for wheelsets 3, 3 'in a drive 20 according to the invention Fig. 2a only the front Endradsatz 3 'transversely slidably or pivotally mounted in the drive 20, while at Fig. 2b both Endradsätze 3 'are arranged transversely slidably or pivotally mounted on the bogie frame. In the embodiment according to Fig. 2c is the front Endradsatz 3 'in turn arranged transversely displaceable in the drive 20. In contrast to the embodiments according to Fig. 2a and 2b However, the wheelset 3 'is not pivoted. In all the embodiments shown, the pivot point of the drive is located vertically above the middle rigid wheelset. 3

Die Fig. 3a und 3b sind Prinzipskizzen und zeigen in einer Ansicht und einer Draufsicht ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Laufwerkes 20. Das Laufwerk 20 weist einen Drehgestellrahmen 2, 2' auf, bei dem der in Fahrtrichtung F gesehen vorderste Abschnitt A horizontal schwenkbar mit dem zweiten starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' verbunden ist. In diesem vorderen Abschnitt A sind beidseits der Mittellängsachse M des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' parallele Radsatzlenker 5, 5' angeordnet, die an ihrem einen Ende schwenkbar mit dem starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' verbunden sind, während sie an ihren gegenüberliegenden Enden über eine Führungsstange 6 miteinander gekoppelt sind. Die von schwenkbaren Teilen des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' gebildeten Radsatzienker 5, 5' sind von der Seite betrachtet im Wesentlichen L-förmig ausgebildet und mit ihren vertikalen Schenkeln 7, 7' über zwei Gelenke 8, 8', 9, 9', vorzugsweise Kugelgelenke, bewegbar mit dem starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' verbunden. Dabei hat es sich als günstig herausgestellt, wenn das obere Gelenk 8, 8' als starres Auflager in vertikaler Richtung und das untere Gelenk 9, 9' als Loslager in vertikaler Richtung ausgebildet ist.The Fig. 3a and 3b The drive 20 has a bogie frame 2, 2 ', in which viewed in the direction of travel F foremost portion A is horizontally pivotally connected to the second rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'is connected. In this front portion A are on both sides of the central longitudinal axis M of the bogie frame 2, 2 'parallel Radsatzlenker 5, 5' are arranged, which are pivotally connected at its one end to the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 ', while at their opposite ends are coupled together via a guide rod 6. The Radsatzienker 5, 5 'formed by pivotal parts of the bogie frame 2, 2' are viewed from the side substantially L-shaped and with their vertical legs 7, 7 'via two joints 8, 8', 9, 9 ', preferably Ball joints, movably connected to the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 '. It has proved to be favorable when the upper joint 8, 8 'is designed as a rigid support in the vertical direction and the lower hinge 9, 9' as a floating bearing in the vertical direction.

Zumindest das Achslagergehäuse 19 des im schwenkbaren Abschnitt A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' angeordneten Radsatzes 3' ist gleichzeitig als Träger für die Primärfedern 21 ausgebildet, wobei sich die Primärfedern 21 an dem am Träger gegenüberliegenden Ende an einem plattenförmigen Gleitelement 22 abstützen. Um die auf die infolge der unterschiedlichen radialen Auslenkung der Radsatzlenker 5, 5' und der Räder des Radsatzes 3' auf die Primärfedern 21 wirkenden Verwindungs/Verdrillungskräfte zu minimieren, sind die plattenförmigen Gleitelemente 22 an den Radsatzlenkern 5, 5' über Zapfen 23 zentriert drehbar gelagert.At least the Achslagergehäuse 19 of the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'arranged wheel 3' is simultaneously formed as a support for the primary springs 21, wherein the primary springs 21 are supported at the opposite end to the support on a plate-shaped sliding member 22. Around to minimize the acting on the primary springs 21 due to the different radial deflection of the Radsatzlenker 5, 5 'and the wheels of the wheelset 3 twisting / twisting forces, the plate-shaped sliding elements 22 are rotatably mounted on the Radsatzlenkern 5, 5' centered about pins 23 ,

Zum Ausrichten des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' in die exakte Längsrichtung L des starren Abschnittes B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' ist eine Stellvorrichtung 10 angeordnet, die zwei gegeneinander wirkende Stellzylinder 11, 11' aufweist. Beide Stellzylinder 11, 11' sind an ihrem äußeren Ende drehgelenkig an den Radsatzlenkern 5, 5' gelagert und an ihren zueinander weisenden Enden vorzugsweise drehbar an einem starren Halteelement 12, das mit dem starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' verbunden ist und in den schwenkbaren Abschnitt A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' hineinragt, verbunden. Die Querverschiebung des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' wird also über die Stellzylinder 11, 11' begrenzt, wie dies unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 4a und 4b später erläutert wird.For aligning the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'in the exact longitudinal direction L of the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2', an adjusting device 10 is arranged, which has two mutually opposing actuating cylinder 11, 11 '. Both actuating cylinders 11, 11 'are pivotally mounted at their outer end to the Radsatzlenkern 5, 5' and preferably rotatable at their mutually facing ends on a rigid support member 12 which is connected to the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'and in the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'protrudes, connected. The transverse displacement of the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'is thus limited by the actuating cylinder 11, 11', as with reference to the Fig. 4a and 4b will be explained later.

Über Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' wird der Radsatz 3' des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' in der Spur gehalten. Um dabei den Verschleiß bei Bogenfahrt zu minimieren, erfolgt die Anordnung der Zug-/Druckstangen 18 derart, dass die Zug-/ Druckstangen 18, 18' einen Spreizwinkel α einschließen, wobei die Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' vom Radsatz 3' in Richtung des starren Abschnittes B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' konisch verlaufen. Dabei sind die Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' am Achslagergehäuse 19 des Radsatzes 3' sowie am starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' drehbar angeordnet, wobei die Lagerung der Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' am starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' vorzugsweise über ein elastomeres Element erfolgt.About train / push rods 18, 18 'of the wheel 3' of the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'held in the lane. In order to minimize the wear during bow travel, the arrangement of the pull / push rods 18 takes place such that the pull / push rods 18, 18 'include a spread angle α, the pull / push rods 18, 18' from the wheel 3 'in Direction of the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'taper. In this case, the pull / push rods 18, 18 'on the axle box 19 of the wheel 3' and the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'rotatably disposed, the storage of the train / push rods 18, 18' at the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'preferably takes place via an elastomeric element.

Unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 4a und 4b wird die Funktionsweise der Stellvorrichtung 10 zum Ausrichten des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' im Folgenden näher erläutert. Wie aus Fig. 4a ersichtlich, weisen die beiden Stellzylinder 11, 11' jeweils ein Zylindergehäuse 13, 13' sowie einen im Zylindergehäuse 13, 13' angeordneten Innenzylinder 14, 14' mit einem darin bewegbaren Kolben 15, 15' auf. Die beiden Stellzylinder 11, 11' sind über eine Versorgungsleitung 31 miteinander wirkverbunden, wobei die Kolben 15, 15' der beiden Innenzylinder 14, 14' über die Versorgungsleitung 31 mit Druck beaufschlagt werden. Damit dieser Druck konstant gehalten werden kann, steht die Versorgungsleitung 31 mit einem Blasenspeicher 16 in Verbindung. Das bedeutet, dass das an den Rädern des Radsatzes 3' auftretende Verhältnis zwischen der Querkraft und der Vertikalkraft limitiert wird, wobei das Kraftverhältnis variabel einstellbar ist, wenn der Systemdruck veränderbar ist.With reference to the Fig. 4a and 4b the operation of the adjusting device 10 for aligning the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'is explained in more detail below. How out Fig. 4a it can be seen, the two actuating cylinders 11, 11 'each have a cylinder housing 13, 13' and an inner cylinder 14, 14 'arranged in the cylinder housing 13, 13' with a piston 15, 15 'movable therein. The two actuating cylinders 11, 11 'are connected to one another via a supply line 31 operatively connected, wherein the pistons 15, 15 'of the two inner cylinders 14, 14' are acted upon via the supply line 31 with pressure. So that this pressure can be kept constant, the supply line 31 is connected to a bladder accumulator 16. This means that the ratio between the lateral force and the vertical force occurring at the wheels of the wheel set 3 'is limited, wherein the force ratio is variably adjustable when the system pressure is variable.

Beide Endlager der Innenzylinder 14, 14' und der Zylinderkolben 15, 15' werden über hydraulische Dämpfeinrichtungen 17, 17' gedämpft, um einerseits den Verschleiß an den Stellzylindern 11, 11' gering zu halten und andererseits ruckartige Bewegungen beim Verschwenken der Radsatzlenker 5, 5' zu vermeiden. Dabei sind beide Stellzylinder 11, 11' mit hydraulischen Dämpfeinrichtungen 17, 17' in Form von Dämpfungskreisen ausgestattet, die die Bewegung der Innenzylinder 14, 14' bedämpfen. Das Dämpfungsmaß kann dabei abhängig von der Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeuges und/oder abhängig von der Schwenkrahmenauslenkung und/oder abhängig von der Bewegungsrichtung des Innenzylinders geregelt werden.Both end bearings of the inner cylinder 14, 14 'and the cylinder piston 15, 15' are damped by hydraulic damping devices 17, 17 ', on the one hand to keep the wear on the adjusting cylinders 11, 11' low and on the other hand jerky movements during pivoting of the Radsatzlenker 5, 5th ' to avoid. Both actuating cylinders 11, 11 'are equipped with hydraulic damping devices 17, 17' in the form of damping circuits which damp the movement of the inner cylinders 14, 14 '. The damping amount can be regulated depending on the speed of the vehicle and / or depending on the Schwenkrahmenauslenkung and / or depending on the direction of movement of the inner cylinder.

Wie aus Fig. 4a ersichtlich sind bei Geradeausfahrt, d.h. wenn die Radsatzlenker 5, 5' des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' in Längsrichtung L des starren Abschnittes B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' ausgerichtet sind, die beiden Innenzylinder 14, 14' vollständig eingefahren, d.h. sie befinden sich in den der Mittellängsachse M des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' zugewandten Endbereichen der Zylindergehäuse 13, 13'. Die Kolben 15, 15' hingegen sind ausgefahren und befinden sich in den außenliegenden Endbereichen der Innenzylinder 14, 14'.How out Fig. 4a can be seen when driving straight ahead, ie when the wheelset 5, 5 'of the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2' in the longitudinal direction L of the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 'are aligned, the two inner cylinder 14, 14' completely retracted, ie they are in the middle longitudinal axis M of the bogie frame 2, 2 'facing end portions of the cylinder housing 13, 13'. The pistons 15, 15 ', however, are extended and are located in the outer end regions of the inner cylinders 14, 14'.

In Fig. 4b ist der schwenkbare Abschnitt A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' nach rechts ausgeschwenkt. Aus Übersichtsgründen wurde auf die Darstellung der Versorgungsleitung 31 sowie der Dämpfvorrichtungen 17, 17' verzichtet. Aus der Figur ist ersichtlich, dass bei maximaler Auslenkung des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A im Stellzylinder 11 der Innenzylinder 14 im dem Radsatzlenker 5 zugeordneten Endbereich des Zylindergehäuses 13 steht und der Kolben 15 zur Gänze ausgefahren ist, d.h. er steht am dem Radsatzlenker 5 zugeordneten Ende des Innenzylinders 14 an. Beim gegenüberliegenden Stellzylinder 11' hingegen befindet sich der Innenzylinder 14 im dem Radsatzlenker 5' abgewandten Endbereich des Zylindergehäuses 13 und der Kolben 15' ist zur Gänze eingefahren, d.h. er steht auf dem dem Radsatzlenker 5' abgewandten Ende des Innenzylinders 14 an.In Fig. 4b is the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'swung to the right. For reasons of clarity, the representation of the supply line 31 and the damping devices 17, 17 'has been dispensed with. From the figure it can be seen that at maximum deflection of the pivotable portion A in the actuating cylinder 11 of the inner cylinder 14 in the Radsatzlenker 5 associated end portion of the cylinder housing 13 and the piston 15 is fully extended, ie it stands on the Radsatzlenker 5 associated end of the inner cylinder 14 on. By contrast, in the case of the opposite actuating cylinder 11 ', the inner cylinder 14 is located in the end region of the wheel set link 5' facing away from the wheel set Cylinder housing 13 and the piston 15 'is fully retracted, ie it stands on the Radsatzlenker 5' opposite end of the inner cylinder 14 at.

In Fig. 5 ist schematisch die Anlenkung des Radsatzes 3' über Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' dargestellt. Dabei zeigen die durchgezogenen Linien den schwenkbaren Abschnitt A des Drehgestellrahmens bei Geradeausfahrt, während die strichlierten Linien den vorderen Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' in ausgeschwenkter Position zeigen. Aus Übersichtsgründen wurde auf die Darstellung des Achslagergehäuses, an dem die Zug-/Druckstangen angeordnet sind, verzichtet.In Fig. 5 schematically the articulation of the wheelset 3 'via pull / push rods 18, 18' shown. The solid lines show the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame when driving straight, while the dashed lines show the front portion of the bogie frame 2, 2 'in the swung-out position. For reasons of clarity, the representation of the axle box housing on which the pull / push rods are arranged has been dispensed with.

Die unter dem Spreizwinkel α angeordneten Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' sind mittels eines elastomeren Elementes 30 am starren Abschnitt des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' drehbar gelagert. Beim Verschwenken des Radsatzlenkers 5 in die maximale Ausschwenkposition 5* wird der Radsatz 3' ebenfalls nach rechts verschoben, sodass der Umlenkpunkt u der Zug-/ Druckstange 18 aufgrund der drehbaren Lagerung derselben am starren Teil B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' entlang einer Kreisbahn in seine Endlage u* bewegt wird. Dasselbe gilt selbstverständlich auch für den Umlenkpunkt der Zug-/Druckstange 18'. Aus der Verschiebung der Umlenkpunkte resultiert eine Verschwenkung der Radsatzachse des Radsatzes 3', wobei der Schwenkwinkel der Radsatzachse dem Lenkwinkel β entspricht. Der Lenkwinkel β hängt dabei vom Spreizwinkel α, den die beiden Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' miteinander einschließen, direkt proportional ab.The arranged under the spread angle α pull / push rods 18, 18 'are rotatably mounted by means of an elastomeric element 30 on the rigid portion of the bogie frame 2, 2'. When pivoting the Radsatzlenkers 5 in the maximum Ausschwenkposition 5 * the wheel 3 'is also moved to the right, so that the deflection point u of the pull / push rod 18 due to the rotatable mounting of the same rigid part B of the bogie frame 2, 2' along a circular path in its end position u * is moved. The same naturally also applies to the deflection point of the pull / push rod 18 '. The displacement of the deflection points results in a pivoting of the wheelset axle of the wheel set 3 ', wherein the pivot angle of the wheelset axle corresponds to the steering angle β. The steering angle β depends on the spread angle α, which include the two pull / push rods 18, 18 'together, in direct proportion.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Laufwerk wird also die Querverschiebung des vorlaufenden Radsatzes 3' mittels des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' ermöglicht, wobei der vorlaufende Radsatz 3' nicht aktiv gesteuert wird, sondern durch eine Stellvorrichtung 10 in der Spur gehalten wird, um definierte Spurführungskräfte zu übernehmen und übermäßiges Schlingern zu vermeiden. Zur Reduzierung des Verschleißes an den Rändern des vorlaufenden Radsatzes 3' ist das erfindungsgemäße Laufwerk 20 weiters über konisch angeordnete Zug-/Druckstangen 18, 18' mit dem starren Abschnitt B des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' verbunden, was die Festlegung eines Lenkwinkels β erlaubt. Es wird also beim erfindungsgemäßen Laufwerk 20 sowohl ein zulässiger Bereich für die Querverschiebung des schwenkbaren Abschnittes A des Drehgestellrahmens 2, 2' als auch ein zulässiger Bereich für die Auslenkung des vorlaufenden Radsatzes 3' festgelegt.When drive according to the invention so the transverse displacement of the leading wheel 3 'by means of the pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2' allows, the leading wheel 3 'is not actively controlled, but is held by an adjusting device 10 in the lane to defined tracking forces to take over and avoid excessive lurching. To reduce the wear on the edges of the leading wheel 3 'drive 20 of the invention is further connected via conically arranged pull / push rods 18, 18' to the rigid portion B of the bogie frame 2, 2 ', which allows the determination of a steering angle β. It is thus in the drive 20 according to the invention both an allowable range for the transverse displacement of pivotable portion A of the bogie frame 2, 2 'and a permissible range for the deflection of the leading wheel set 3' set.
