Telle que représentée sur la figure 1, une voiture 2 conforme à l'invention comprend une caisse 4 s'étendant suivant une direction longitudinale L, et deux mono-essieux 8, 10 de support et de guidage de la caisse 4 le long d'une voie ferrée 12.As represented on the figure 1 , a car 2 according to the invention comprises a body 4 extending in a longitudinal direction L, and two mono-axles 8, 10 for supporting and guiding the body 4 along a railway line 12.

La caisse 4 comprend un plancher 14, un toit 16, et deux faces latérales 18 (une seule étant visible sur la figure 1).The body 4 comprises a floor 14, a roof 16, and two side faces 18 (only one being visible on the floor). figure 1 ).

Les mono-essieux 8, 10 sont espacés longitudinalement, et sont situés sous la caisse 4 à distance des extrémités longitudinales de celle-ci.The mono-axles 8, 10 are spaced longitudinally, and are located under the body 4 at a distance from the longitudinal ends thereof.

Chaque face latérale 18 comprend, entre les deux mono-essieux 8, 10, une porte latérale 20 permettant aux voyageurs d'accéder à l'intérieur du compartiment voyageurs de la voiture.Each side face 18 comprises, between the two mono-axles 8, 10, a side door 20 allowing travelers to access the interior of the passenger compartment of the car.

Chaque porte 20 possède de manière connue deux battants 21 mobiles entre une position de fermeture (figure 1), et une position d'ouverture.Each door 20 has in known manner two leaves 21 movable between a closed position ( figure 1 ), and an open position.

Les mono-essieux 8 et 10 possèdent des structures analogues.The mono-axles 8 and 10 have similar structures.

Chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 possède une paire de roues 22 coaxiales d'axe R. Les roues 22 de chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre en rotation. Une barre transversale 24 maintient l'écartement transversal entre les roues 22.Each mono-axle 8, 10 has a pair of coaxial wheels 22 of axis R. The wheels 22 of each mono-axle 8, 10 are independent of each other in rotation. A transverse bar 24 maintains the transverse spacing between the wheels 22.

La voiture 2 possède un moteur 26 individuel associé à chaque roue 22, et couplé à la roue 22 associée par un réducteur 28.The car 2 has an individual motor 26 associated with each wheel 22, and coupled to the associated wheel 22 by a gearbox 28.

Chaque réducteur 28 se présente par exemple sous la forme d'un train d'engrenages reliant la roue 22 à l'arbre de sortie du moteur 26 associé.Each gearbox 28 is for example in the form of a gear train connecting the wheel 22 to the output shaft of the motor 26 associated.

Chaque mono-essieu 8 et 10 est orientable par rapport à la caisse 4. Ceci signifie que chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe C (figure 1 et 2) parallèle à la direction A (figure 1) verticale, i.e. la direction perpendiculaire au plan de la voie, pour assurer le guidage de la caisse le long de la voie ferrée et faciliter les passages en courbe de la voiture 2.Each mono-axle 8 and 10 is orientable with respect to the body 4. This means that each single axle 8, 10 is pivotally mounted about an axis C ( figure 1 and 2 ) parallel to the direction A ( figure 1 ) vertical, ie the direction perpendicular to the plane of the track, to ensure the guidance of the box along the railway and facilitate the curves of the car 2.

Les mono-essieux 8 et 10 étant séparés par conception, il est possible de choisir leur écartement longitudinal.The mono-axles 8 and 10 being separated by design, it is possible to choose their longitudinal spacing.

Les mono-essieux 8 et 10 doivent être suffisamment écartés pour dégager un espace suffisant pour placer les portes 20, tout en autorisant un débattement angulaire suffisant des mono-essieux 8, 10 autour de leurs axes C lors des passages en courbe.The mono-axles 8 and 10 must be sufficiently spaced to clear enough space to place the doors 20, while allowing a sufficient angular movement of the mono-axles 8, 10 around their axes C during passages in curves.

Ainsi, la distance entre les mono-essieux est supérieure à 2500mm, et est de préférence comprise entre 3000mm et 4000mm. La distance est mesurée entre les axes R des roues 22 des mono-essieux 8, 10.Thus, the distance between the mono-axles is greater than 2500mm, and is preferably between 3000mm and 4000mm. The distance is measured between the axes R of the wheels 22 of the mono-axles 8, 10.

L'utilisation d'un moteur 26 individuel pour chaque roue 22 permet de disposer chaque moteur 26 à proximité de la roue associée, et ainsi de libérer l'espace situé entre les mono-essieux 8 et 10 pour placer les portes 20.The use of an individual motor 26 for each wheel 22 makes it possible to arrange each motor 26 close to the associated wheel, and thus to free the space between the mono-axles 8 and 10 to place the doors 20.

En particulier, il est possible de placer une porte 20 sur chaque face latérale 18. Ceci permet d'accéder à la voiture d'un côté ou de l'autre de la voiture, ce qui en améliore l'accessibilité.In particular, it is possible to place a door 20 on each side face 18. This allows access to the car on one side or the other of the car, which improves accessibility.

Les moteurs 26 peuvent par exemple être disposés transversalement pour limiter leur encombrement longitudinal.The motors 26 may for example be arranged transversely to limit their longitudinal dimensions.

Les mono-essieux 8 et 10 à distance des extrémités de la voiture 2 assurent une emprise réduite de la voiture 2, notamment en courbe, ce qui est avantageux en particulier dans le cas d'une circulation en ville.The mono-axles 8 and 10 away from the ends of the car 2 ensure a reduced grip of the car 2, especially in curve, which is advantageous especially in the case of a city traffic.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 4, le plancher 14 définit un couloir de déplacement des voyageurs à l'intérieur de la voiture. Le plancher 14 s'étend entre les passages de roue 38 de la caisse 4, recevant chacun une des roues 22.As shown on the figure 4 , the floor 14 defines a corridor for moving travelers inside the car. The floor 14 extends between the wheel wells 38 of the body 4, each receiving one of the wheels 22.

Chaque ensemble moteur 26 / réducteur 28 est logé de façon compacte sous le passage de roue 38 de la roue 22 associée pour libérer l'espace situé longitudinalement entre les passages de roue 38 et permettre au plancher 14 de s'étendre dans cet espace, et de disposer une porte 20 de chaque côté de la voiture 2.Each motor assembly 26 / gearbox 28 is housed compactly under the wheel well 38 of the associated wheel 22 to release the space located longitudinally between the wheel wells 38 and allow the floor 14 to extend in this space, and to have a door 20 on each side of the car 2.

Les passages de roue 38 sont avantageusement utilisés pour fixer des sièges 39 représentés schématiquement en traits mixtes.Wheel arches 38 are advantageously used to secure seats 39 shown schematically in phantom.

Entre les deux mono-essieux 8, 10, le plancher 14 s'étend transversalement sur toute la largeur de la caisse 4, ce qui permet de prévoir une porte 20 de chaque côté de la voiture 2.Between the two mono-axles 8, 10, the floor 14 extends transversely over the entire width of the body 4, which allows to provide a door 20 on each side of the car 2.

Dans la suite de la description de l'exemple, la hauteur d'une région du plancher 14 est considérée comme la distance en plan suivant la direction A entre les sommets de chemins de roulement de rails d'une voie ferrée sur la quelle la voiture est en appui, et cette région.In the remainder of the description of the example, the height of a region of the floor 14 is considered as the plane distance along the direction A between the tops of railway tracks of a railway on which the car is in support, and this region.

Le plancher 14 est un plancher dit « bas », c'est-à-dire muni au niveau des portes 20 de seuils de porte situés à une hauteur égale ou inférieure à 400 mm, de préférence inférieure à 360mm, dépourvu de marche, et éventuellement muni de rampes longitudinale et/ou transversales possédant des pentes inférieure à 10%, de préférence inférieure à 8%, et en particulier inférieure à 6%.The floor 14 is a so-called "low" floor, that is to say provided at the doors 20 door thresholds located at a height equal to or less than 400 mm, preferably less than 360 mm, without a step, and possibly equipped with longitudinal and / or transverse ramps having slopes less than 10%, preferably less than 8%, and in particular less than 6%.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le plancher 14 est sensiblement plat et possède une hauteur sensiblement égale sur l'étendue du plancher 14, cette hauteur étant et inférieure ou égale à 400mm, de préférence inférieure à 360mm.In the example shown, the floor 14 is substantially flat and has a substantially equal height over the floor 14, this height being and less than or equal to 400mm, preferably less than 360mm.

Ceci est possible en raison de la prévision de mono-essieux 8, 10 à arbres abaissés, limitant la hauteur des mono-essieux 8, 10 entre les roues 22.This is possible because of the prediction of mono-axles 8, 10 with lowered shafts, limiting the height of the mono-axles 8, 10 between the wheels 22.

En effet, comme cela est visible sur la figure 3, chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 possède un barre 24 déportée vers le bas par rapport à l'axe R des roues 22, ce qui dégage l'espace compris entre les roues 22, et permet le passage du plancher 14 sans avoir à le surélever au droit des mono-essieux 8, 10.Indeed, as is visible on the figure 3 , each mono-axle 8, 10 has a bar 24 offset downwards relative to the axis R of the wheels 22, which releases the space between the wheels 22, and allows the passage of the floor 14 without having to raise to the right of the mono-axles 8, 10.

En variante, le plancher possède avantageusement une zone centrale plate de hauteur constante, et des rampes transversales descendant de la zone centrale vers les seuils de porte.Alternatively, the floor advantageously has a central flat area of constant height, and transverse ramps down from the central area to the door thresholds.

En variante, les barres 24 ne sont pas déportées par rapport aux axes R des roues 22, et le plancher 14 possède au-dessus des mono-essieux 8, 10 des rampes ou des régions surélevées reliées au reste du plancher 14 par des rampes.Alternatively, the bars 24 are not offset relative to the R axes of the wheels 22, and the floor 14 has above the mono-axles 8, 10 ramps or raised areas connected to the rest of the floor 14 by ramps.

La caisse 4 est en appui directement sur chaque mono-essieu 8, 10. En variante, la voiture 2 comprend un cadre 25 intermédiaire (représenté en pointillé sur la figure 2) reposant sur les mono-essieux 8 et 10 entre eux, et la caisse 4 repose sur le cadre 25. Chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 est alors orientables par rapport au cadre 25.The body 4 bears directly on each mono-axle 8, 10. In a variant, the car 2 comprises an intermediate frame 25 (shown in dashed line on the figure 2 ) resting on the mono-axles 8 and 10 between them, and the body 4 rests on the frame 25. Each mono-axle 8, 10 is then adjustable with respect to the frame 25.

Dans des variantes, le nombre, la répartition et l'agencement des moteurs varient.In variants, the number, distribution and arrangement of the motors vary.

Le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 5 et 6 diffère du mode de réalisation des figures 2 et 3 en ce que la voiture 2 comprend pour chaque mono-essieu 8, 10, un moteur 26 et un réducteur 28 couplés aux deux roues 22 de ce mono-essieu 8, 10.The embodiment illustrated on the figures 5 and 6 differs from the embodiment of figures 2 and 3 in that the car 2 comprises, for each single-axle 8, 10, a motor 26 and a gearbox 28 coupled to the two wheels 22 of this single-axle 8, 10.

Pour ce faire, le moteur 26 et le réducteur 28 sont disposés à proximité d'une des roues du mono-essieu 8, 10, et les roues 22 sont liées en rotation par un arbre 46.To do this, the motor 26 and the gearbox 28 are arranged near one of the wheels of the single-axle 8, 10, and the wheels 22 are rotatably connected by a shaft 46.

Pour préserver la compacité des mono-essieux 8, 10 et conserver un plancher 14 peu élevé entre les passages de roue 38, l'arbre 46 s'étend avantageusement à l'intérieur de la barre 24, et est relié aux roues par des engrenages 47.To preserve the compactness of the mono-axles 8, 10 and keep a low floor 14 between the wheel wells 38, the shaft 46 advantageously extends inside the bar 24, and is connected to the wheels by gears 47.

Le moteur 26 et le réducteur 28 de chaque mono-essieu 8, 10 sont logés sous le passage de roue 38 de la roue 22 adjacente de ce mono-essieu 8, 10. Le passage de roue 38 de l'autre roue 22 est moins large, ce qui permet d'augmenter la largeur du plancher 14 entre les passages de roue 38.The motor 26 and the gearbox 28 of each single-axle 8, 10 are housed under the wheel well 38 of the adjacent wheel 22 of this single-axle 8, 10. The wheel arch 38 of the other wheel 22 is less wide, which increases the width of the floor 14 between the wheel wells 38.

Les moteurs 6 sont disposés sur des côtés opposés de la voiture 2, et sont donc positionnés en diagonal. En variante, les moteurs 6 sont disposés du même côté.The motors 6 are arranged on opposite sides of the car 2, and are therefore positioned diagonally. In a variant, the motors 6 are arranged on the same side.

Le mode de réalisation des figures 5 et 6 permet de limiter le nombre de moteurs.The embodiment of the figures 5 and 6 allows to limit the number of engines.

Dans une variante, un mono-essieu possède au moins un moteur, par exemple un moteur à aimants permanents, en prise directe sur une roue du mono-essieu, le moteur possédant un diamètre extérieur sensiblement égal à celui de la roue.In a variant, a single-axle has at least one motor, for example a permanent magnet motor, in direct engagement with a single-axle wheel, the motor having an outside diameter substantially equal to that of the wheel.

Dans une variante, une voiture peut comprendre un seul moteur, couplé seulement à une roue d'un essieu ou seulement aux deux roues d'un même essieu.In a variant, a car may comprise a single motor, coupled only to a wheel of an axle or only to two wheels of the same axle.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 7, un tramway 50 est formé par un ensemble de voitures disposées à la file, comprenant des voitures 2 conformes à l'invention et des voitures 52 alternées.As shown on the figure 7 , a tramway 50 is formed by a set of cars arranged in line, comprising cars 2 according to the invention and cars 52 alternating.

Les voitures 2, forment des voitures porteuses. Chaque voiture 52 est dépourvue d'essieu, et est suspendue entre les deux voitures 2 adjacentes. Des cabines de pilotage 54 sont fixées aux extrémités du tramway 50, sur les voitures 2 d'extrémité.Cars 2, form carrier cars. Each car 52 is devoid of axle, and is suspended between the two cars 2 adjacent. Pilot cabs 54 are attached to the ends of the tramway 50, on the cars 2 end.

Chacune des voitures 2, 52 est reliée à la voiture adjacente par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'articulation et d'intercirculation 56 réalisant une liaison articulée, par exemple du type rotule, entre les voitures qu'il relie, et permettant aux voyageurs, de façon connu en soi, de passer d'une voiture à l'autre.Each of the cars 2, 52 is connected to the adjacent car via a hinge and gangway device 56 making an articulated connection, for example of the ball joint type, between the cars that it connects, and allowing the travelers, in a manner known per se, to pass from one car to another.

Chaque voiture 52 est munie sur chacune de ses faces latérales, d'une porte latérale 20 d'accès à l'intérieur du tramway 50 et /ou de fenêtres. Les portes 20 peuvent donc êtres réparties, de chaque côté de la rame, sur toute la longueur du tramway, ce qui augmente l'accessibilité de celui-ci.Each car 52 is provided on each of its lateral faces, a side door 20 to access the interior of the tramway 50 and / or windows. The doors 20 can therefore be distributed on each side of the train, along the entire length of the tram, which increases the accessibility thereof.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 8, un tramway 58 est constituée d'une unique voiture 2 conforme à l'invention et munie de 2 cabines 54 fixées à ses extrémités. II est possible d'adapter la longueur de la voiture.In the embodiment of the figure 8 , a tram 58 consists of a single car 2 according to the invention and provided with 2 cabins 54 fixed at its ends. It is possible to adapt the length of the car.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 9 diffère de celui de la figure 7 en ce que la voiture centrale est remplacée par une voiture porteuse 62 possédant un bogie à deux essieux. Ceci permet de limiter le coût du tramway dans son ensemble, par rapport à celui de la figure 7, tout en conservant une accessibilité améliorée du fait de la présence de nombreuses portes, réparties le long du tramway, et située de chaque côté de celui-ci.The embodiment of the figure 9 differs from that of the figure 7 in that the central car is replaced by a carrier car 62 having a bogie with two axles. This makes it possible to limit the cost of the tram as a whole, compared to that of the figure 7 , while maintaining improved accessibility due to the presence of many doors, spread along the tramway, and located on each side thereof.
