Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit einem ersten Fahrzeug, zumindest einem zweiten Fahrzeug, wobei die Fahrzeuge insbesondere als Straßenbahnwagen ausgebildet sind, und einer Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verbindung der Fahrzeuge, wobei die Fahrzeuge als untere Gelenkverbindung über eine Gelenkstange verbunden sind, die ein Nicken und ein Verwinden der Fahrzeuge zulässt, wobei die Fahrzeuge bei einem Nicken eine Drehbewegung um einen Nickwinkel um eine horizontale, senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung ausgerichtete Nickachse ausführen können.The invention relates to an arrangement with a first vehicle, at least a second vehicle, wherein the vehicles are in particular designed as a tram car, and a device for mechanically connecting the vehicles, wherein the vehicles are connected as a lower hinge connection via a joint rod, a pitch and a Twisting the vehicles allows, the vehicles can perform a nodding rotation about a pitch angle about a horizontal, aligned perpendicular to the direction of travel pitch axis.

Manche Schienennetze, insbesondere für Straßenbahnen, weisen Kuppen und Mulden auf, die eine erhöhte Bodenfreiheit der Fahrzeuge erfordern. Auf solchen Schienennetzen können Niederflurfahrzeuge nicht eingesetzt werden. Andererseits sind Niederflurfahrzeuge sinnvoll, weil das Ein- und Aussteigen erleichtert ist.Some rail networks, especially for trams, have crests and hollows that require increased ground clearance of the vehicles. Low-floor vehicles can not be used on such rail networks. On the other hand, low-floor vehicles are useful because the entry and exit is easier.

Falls ein Zug aus mindestens zwei Fahrzeugen eine Kuppe oder eine Mulde durchfährt, bildet sich an der Verbindung der beiden Fahrzeuge ein Winkel aus, der Nickwinkel genannt wird. Es ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, durch eine geeignete Verbindung der beiden Fahrzeuge diesen Nickwinkel zu halbieren. Dazu wurde bisher ein als solcher bekannter Lemniskatenlenker eingesetzt. Dieser ist drehbar auf einem Portalrahmen gelagert, der fest mit der unteren Gelenkstange verbunden ist. Zwei vom Lemniskatenlenker ausgehende Koppelstangen sind gelenkig an jeweils einen der benachbarten Wagenkästen der verbundenen Fahrzeuge angeschlossen. Mit der Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung wird der Nickwinkel aufgeteilt in zwei Hälften, wobei der erste Teilwinkel zwischen dem ersten Fahrzeug und dem Portalrahmen und der zweite Teilwinkel zwischen dem Portalrahmen und dem zweiten Fahrzeug auftritt.If a train of at least two vehicles passes through a crest or trough, forms an angle at the junction of the two vehicles, the pitch angle is called. It has already been proposed to halve this pitch angle by a suitable connection of the two vehicles. For this purpose, a Lemniskatenlenker known as such has been used. This is rotatably mounted on a portal frame, which is firmly connected to the lower link rod. Two coupling rods emanating from the Lemniskaten handlebar are hinged to each one of the adjacent bodies of the connected vehicles. With the Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung the pitch angle is divided into two halves, wherein the first partial angle between the first vehicle and the portal frame and the second partial angle between the portal frame and the second vehicle occurs.

Aus der CH 389 005 A ist eine mechanische Verbindung zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen bekannt, die mittels Gelenkstangenpaaren realisiert ist, deren freie Enden auf einer zwischen den Fahrzeugen mittig angeordneten Schiene gleitbar abgestützt sind.From the CH 389 005 A is a mechanical connection between two vehicles is known, which is realized by means of pairs of connecting rods, the free ends are slidably supported on a centrally disposed between the vehicles rail.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine vereinfachte Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verbindung von Fahrzeugen anzugeben, die bei gleich guter Halbierung des Nickwinkels kostengünstiger herzustellen ist und darüber hinaus ein geringeres Gewicht hat als eine Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung. Mit ei ner vorteilhaften Weiterbildung sollen außerdem störende Einwirkungen einer Gleisüberhöhung vermindert werden.The invention has for its object to provide a simplified device for the mechanical connection of vehicles, which is less expensive to manufacture at the same halving the pitch angle and also has a lower weight than a Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung. With egg ner advantageous development should also be reduced disturbing effects of a track cant.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass als separate obere Gelenkverbindung an jedem der Fahrzeuge ein Gelenkflügelpaar mit zwei Gelenkflügeln angeordnet ist, wobei im Gelenkflügelpaar die Gelenkflügel einen Öffnungswinkel miteinander bilden und jeder Gelenkflügel um eine Achse schwenkbar ist, die senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung und zur Nickachse ausgerichtet ist, und dass in Fahrtrichtung der rechte Gelenkflügel des Gelenkflügelpaars des ersten Fahrzeuges mit dem rechten Gelenkflügel des Gelenkflügelpaars des zweiten Fahrzeuges und der linke Gelenkflügel des Gelenkflügelpaars des ersten Fahrzeuges mit dem linken Gelenkflügel des Gelenkflügelpaars des zweiten Fahrzeuges über nicht abgestützte Lager derart drehbar verbunden sind, dass die Öffnungswinkel der Gelenkfügelpaare stets gleich groß sind, wodurch ein zwischen den beiden Fahrzeugen auftretender Nickwinkel zwischen den beiden Fahrzeugen jeweils zur Hälfte aufgeteilt wird.The object is achieved according to the invention in that is arranged as a separate upper hinge joint on each of the vehicles, a pair of hinged wings with two hinged wings, wherein in the hinge wing pair, the hinge wings form an opening angle with each other and each hinge wing is pivotable about an axis perpendicular to the direction of travel and Nick axis aligned, and that in the direction of travel, the right hinge of the pair of hinged wings of the first vehicle with the right hinge of the pair of hinged wings of the second vehicle and the left hinge of the pair of hinged wings of the first vehicle with the left hinge of the pair of hinged wings of the second vehicle so rotatably connected via unsupported bearings are that the opening angle of the Gelenkfügelpaare always the same size, whereby a occurring between the two vehicles pitch angle between the two vehicles is divided in half.

Die senkrechten Achsen der Gelenkflügel befinden sich dabei nahezu senkrecht über den Gelenken der unteren Gelenkstange. Dadurch, dass die Öffnungswinkel der Gelenkflügelpaare der beiden Fahrzeuge stets gleich groß sind, befinden sich die nicht abgestützten Lager in Fahrtrichtung gesehen stets in der Mitte zwischen den Fahrzeugen. Das führt dann dazu, dass sich ähnlich wie bei der Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung der Nickwinkel zwischen den beiden Fahrzeugen jeweils zur Hälfte aufteilt und zwar auf die beiden Anbindungen der unteren Gelenkstange an die verbundenen Fahrzeuge.The vertical axes of the joint wings are almost perpendicular to the joints of the lower link rod. The fact that the opening angle of the joint wing pairs of the two vehicles are always the same size, the non-supported bearings are always seen in the direction of travel in the middle between the vehicles. This then leads to the pitch angle between the two vehicles being divided in half, similar to the Lemniskaten handlebar arrangement, namely to the two connections of the lower connecting rod to the connected vehicles.

Es wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass auch ohne aufwändige Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung eine Halbierung des Nickwinkels mit einfachen, kostengünstigen Mitteln möglich wird. Auf einen bei der Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung notwendigen schweren, aufwändigen Portalrahmen kann vorteilhaft verzichtet werden, was eine deutliche Gewichtsersparnis ermöglicht. Durch die Halbierung des Nickwinkels können Niederflurfahrzeuge auf Strecken mit Kuppen und Mulden eingesetzt werden.The advantage is achieved that even without consuming Lemniskatenlenker arrangement halving the pitch angle with simple, inexpensive means is possible. On a necessary in the Lemniskatenlenker heavy, complex portal frame can be advantageously dispensed with, which allows a significant weight savings. By halving The pitch angle low-floor vehicles can be used on routes with crests and troughs.

Die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung ist besonders vorteilhaft zum Verbinden von Wagen eines Straßenbahnzuges geeignet, sie kann aber auch bei jedem anderen Zug und sogar bei einem Gelenkomnibus eingesetzt werden.The device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for connecting cars of a tram train suitable, they but can also be used with any other train and even with a articulated bus.

Beispielsweise sind die beiden Gelenkflügel eines Fahrzeuges um eine gemeinsame senkrechte Achse schwenkbar angeordnet.For example, the two joint wings of a vehicle are arranged pivotably about a common vertical axis.

Nach einem anderen Beispiel sind die Gelenkflügel eines Fahrzeuges jeweils um eine eigene senkrechte Achse schwenkbar angeordnet. Die Gelenkflügel können z. B. als flächige Bauteile ausgebildet sein.According to another example, the articulated wings of a vehicle are each arranged pivotably about its own vertical axis. The joint wings can z. B. be designed as flat components.

Beispielsweise bestehen mindestens die Gelenkflügel eines Fahrzeugs statt aus flächigen Bauteilen jeweils aus einem oberen Stab und einem unteren Stab, die um die senkrechte Achse schwenkbar angeordnet sind. Für diese Ausführungsform wird weniger Material benötigt, was das Gewicht weiter reduziert.For example, at least the articulated wings of a vehicle instead of flat components each consist of an upper rod and a lower rod, which are arranged pivotably about the vertical axis. For this embodiment, less material is needed, which further reduces the weight.

Beispielsweise sind der obere Stab und der untere Stab mit der senkrechten Achse über Kugelgelenke verbunden und der obere Stab und der untere Stab sind miteinander über ein Scharniergelenk verbunden, das mit dem senkrechten, nicht abgestützten Lager in Verbindung steht.For example, the upper bar and the lower bar are connected to the vertical axis via ball joints, and the upper bar and the lower bar are connected to each other via a hinge joint communicating with the vertical unsupported bearing.

Mit dieser besonderen Vorrichtung wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass ein Verwinden der Fahrzeuge gegeneinander kompensiert werden kann. Mit Verwinden ist gemeint, dass bei einer Überhöhung des Gleises, z. B. in einer Kurve, das vordere Fahrzeug zunächst relativ zum hinteren Fahrzeug um seine Längsachse gedreht wird. Diese Bewegung wird durch die Kugelgelenke und die Scharniergelenke aufgenommen, so dass es nicht zu mechanischen Belastungen oder sogar Verbiegungen von Bauteilen kommt. Es kann vorteilhaft in einfacher Weise das Verwinden der Fahrzeuge gegeneinander kompensiert werden.With this particular device, the advantage is achieved that a twisting of the vehicles can be compensated for each other. By twisting is meant that at an elevation of the track, z. B. in a curve, the front vehicle is first rotated relative to the rear vehicle about its longitudinal axis. This movement is absorbed by the ball joints and the hinge joints, so that there is no mechanical stress or even bending of components. It can be compensated advantageous in a simple manner, the twisting of the vehicles against each other.

Um das Verwinden der Fahrzeuge zu dämpfen, können den Kugelgelenken Gummipuffer, Hydraulikzylinder oder mechanische Federn zugeordnet sein.To dampen the twisting of the vehicles, the ball joints rubber buffer, hydraulic cylinders or mechanical springs can be assigned.

Mit der Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung wird insbesondere der Vorteil erzielt, dass im Vergleich zu einer Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung ein Portalrahmen nicht notwendig ist. Trotzdem ist es möglich, den Nickwinkel zu halbieren. Schließlich ist mit einer Ausgestaltung das Verwinden der Fahrzeuge gegeneinander zu kompensieren.With the device according to the invention the particular advantage is achieved that in comparison to a Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung a portal frame is not necessary. Nevertheless, it is possible to halve the pitch angle. Finally, with one embodiment, the twisting of the vehicles against each other to compensate.

Mit den Gelenkflügeln können vorteilhaft Kabel verbunden werden, die von einem Fahrzeug zum anderen verlegt werden müssen. Außerdem ist es möglich, auch Falten- oder Wellenbälge an den Gelenkflügeln zu befestigen.With the hinged wings can be advantageously connected cables that must be routed from one vehicle to another. In addition, it is possible to attach also folding or bellows on the hinge wings.

Gleiche Bauteile haben in den Figuren gleiche Bezugszeichen.Identical components have the same reference numerals in the figures.

Nach Figur 1 sind zwei nur teilweise gezeigte Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 unten über eine als untere Gelenkverbindung dienende Gelenkstange 3 verbunden, die ein Nicken und ein Verwinden der Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 zulässt. Das Nicken ist eine Drehbewegung der Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 um eine gedachte horizontale, senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung a ausgerichtete Achse und tritt auf, wenn die miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 eine Kuppe oder eine Mulde durchfahren. Statt der senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufenden Achse ist eine auf das Nicken zurückzuführende Drehbewegung des Fahrzeuges 1 um einen Nickwinkel β gezeigt. Das Verwinden ist eine Drehbewegung der Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 um eine gedachte horizontale, in Fahrtrichtung ausgerichtete Achse b und tritt z. B. auf, wenn die miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 nacheinander eine überhöhte Gleiskurve erreichen.To FIG. 1 For example, two vehicles 1 and 2, only partially shown, are connected at the bottom via a pivot rod 3 serving as a lower hinge connection, which permits pitching and twisting of the vehicles 1 and 2. The pitch is a rotational movement of the vehicles 1 and 2 about an imaginary horizontal, aligned perpendicular to the direction of travel axis and occurs when the interconnected vehicles 1 and 2 pass through a dome or a trough. Instead of perpendicular to the drawing plane extending axis is attributable to the pitch rotational movement of the vehicle 1 by a pitch angle β shown. The twisting is a rotational movement of the vehicles 1 and 2 about an imaginary horizontal, aligned in the direction of travel axis b and occurs, for. B. on when the interconnected vehicles 1 and 2 successively reach an excessive track curve.

Als separate obere Gelenkverbindung sind nach Figur 2 an jedem der Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 jeweils zwei Gelenkflügel 4a, 4b und 4c, 4d um senkrechte Achsen 5a und 5b schwenkbar angeordnet. Dabei sind in Fahrtrichtung a gesehen jeweils die rechten Gelenkflügel 4a und 4c und entsprechend die linken Gelenkflügel 4b und 4d über nicht abgestützte Lager 6a und 6b drehbar miteinander verbunden. Dadurch, dass der Öffnungswinkel γ der Gelenkflügel 4a und 4b des ersten Fahrzeuges 1 und der Öffnungswinkel γ der Gelenkflügel 4c und 4d des zweiten Fahrzeuges 2 in diesem Parallelogramm stets gleich groß sind, wird jeder auftretende Nickwinkel β zwischen den Fahrzeugen 1 und 2 gleichmäßig auf die beiden Gelenke der Gelenkstange 3 verteilt, so dass kein für ein Niederflurfahrzeug zu großer Nickwinkel β auftritt.As a separate upper hinge connection are after FIG. 2 two hinged wings 4a, 4b and 4c, 4d pivotally arranged on each of the vehicles 1 and 2 about vertical axes 5a and 5b. In this case, the right-hand joint wings 4a and 4c and, correspondingly, the left-hand joint wings 4b and 4d are rotatably connected to one another via unsupported bearings 6a and 6b in the direction of travel a. Due to the fact that the opening angle γ of the articulated wings 4a and 4b of the first vehicle 1 and the opening angle γ of the articulated wings 4c and 4d of the second vehicle 2 are always the same in this parallelogram, any pitch angle β occurring between the vehicles 1 and 2 will be uniform on the distributed both joints of the articulated rod 3, so that no for a low-floor vehicle too large pitch angle β occurs.

In Figur 1 sind zur Vereinfachung der Darstellung die Gelenkflügel 4a und 4c mit dem Lager 6a nicht dargestellt.In FIG. 1 For simplicity of illustration, the hinged wings 4a and 4c are not shown with the bearing 6a.

In Figur 2 ist für die jeweils beiden Gelenkflügel 4a und 4b bzw. 4c und 4d der beiden Fahrzeuge 1 und 2 jeweils nur eine senkrechte Achse 5a und 5b vorgesehen. Nach Figur 3 ist am zweiten Fahrzeug 2 jeder der Gelenkflügel 4c und 4d um eine eigene senkrechte Achse 5c und 5d schwenkbar angeordnet.In FIG. 2 is for the respective two joint wings 4a and 4b and 4c and 4d of the two vehicles 1 and 2 respectively only a vertical axis 5a and 5b provided. To FIG. 3 At the second vehicle 2, each of the hinge wings 4c and 4d is pivotally mounted about its own vertical axis 5c and 5d.

Nach Figur 4 besteht der Gelenkflügel 4b des ersten Fahrzeuges 1 und entsprechend auch der nicht dargestellte Gelenkflügel 4a jeweils aus einem oberen Stab 7 und einem unteren Stab 8. Diese Stäbe 7 und 8 sind um auf der senkrechten Achse 5a angeordnete Gelenke schwenkbar angeordnet. Diese Gelenke sind Kugelgelenke 9. Außerdem sind der obere Stab 7 und der untere Stab 8 vor dem senkrechten, nicht abgestützten Lager 6a bzw. 6b über ein Scharniergelenk 10 miteinander verbunden. Durch die Kombination aus Kugelgelenken 9 und Scharniergelenken 10 wird das Verwinden der Fahrzeuge 1 und 2, z. B. in einer überhöhten Gleiskurve, kompensiert.To FIG. 4 consists of the hinged wing 4b of the first vehicle 1 and correspondingly also the hinge wing 4a, not shown, each consisting of an upper rod 7 and a lower rod 8. These rods 7 and 8 are pivotally mounted about arranged on the vertical axis 5a hinges. These joints are Ball joints 9. In addition, the upper bar 7 and the lower bar 8 are connected to each other before the vertical, unsupported bearing 6 a and 6 b via a hinge joint 10. The combination of ball joints 9 and hinge joints 10 twisting the vehicles 1 and 2, z. B. in an excessive track curve, compensated.

Durch die Aufteilung des Nickwinkels β auf zwei halbe Winkel wird der besondere Vorteil erzielt, dass auch Niederflurwagen über Kuppen und durch Mulden hindurch fahren können, ohne dass eine aufwändige Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung eingesetzt werden muss. Mit einem Niederflurwagen ist das Ein- und Aussteigen erleichtert. Insgesamt wird der Fahrkomfort angehoben. By dividing the pitch angle β to two half angles, the particular advantage is achieved that even low-floor cars can drive over crests and through hollows, without the need for a complex Lemniskatenlenkeranordnung must be used. With a low-floor car, getting in and out is made easier. Overall, the ride comfort is raised.
