Definitions
- This invention relates to a railway bogie provided with an electromagnetic driving and/or braking means, which cooperates with a rail on the track. It relates in particular to an arrangement for moving the electromagnetic driving and/or braking means between an upper standby position and a lower, operational position.

- the electromagnetic brake is connected to the chassis by a vertical linear sliding guide device, and movable in translation between an upper, standby position and a lower, operational position.
- the linear sliding guide device includes vertical pneumatic cylinders. This arrangement takes up a lot of space, particularly in the vertical direction.
- An electromagnetic linear braking system for rail vehicles such as trains or trams is disclosed in GB 2 375 802 .
- the arrangement comprises a housing in which is mounted an electro-magnet held in a parked position in line with and just above the rail by two bolts and springs.
- Above the electro-magnet are two horizontally and longitudinally mounted solenoids with push rods, arranged in such a way that when the solenoids are energised the electro-magnet is pushed down against the springs, the electro-magnet which is energised at the same time is pulled onto the rail by magnetism, and will remain clamped to it while the braking system is switched on.

- A railway bogie with a suspension system for an electromagnetic linear brake is disclosed in
FR 2 314 852 - An electromagnetic linear braking system for rail vehicles such as trains or trams is disclosed in
GB 2 375 802 - There is therefore a need for a more compact arrangement of the connection of a linear motor or linear electromagnetic braking system to a railway bogie.
- According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a railway bogie, comprising:
- a bogie frame,

- The bogie frame is preferably an H-shaped frame or double H-shaped frame. The actuator in the standby position is preferably housed within a cavity of a hollow beam of the bogie frame, which can be a crossbeam or side beam. The arrangement takes advantage of the thickness of the side beams and cross beam(s) to house at least part of the mechanism for lowering the electromagnet. The overall height of the bogie can be optimised, as well as the distance of the bogie frame to the ground. Moreover, the actuator in the standby position is protected by the bogie frame.
- According to one embodiment, the system further comprises a linkage for linking the electromagnetic device to the bogie frame between the upper standby position and the lower operational position. Alternatively, the linear actuator can be connected to the electromagnetic linear device via a cam mechanism.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the linear actuator is provided with pivot connections with the linkage and with the bogie frame. According to a preferred embodiment, the pivot connexions have pivot axes that are parallel to a longitudinal horizontal axis of the bogie frame. In the standby position, the pivot axes are preferably spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction of the bogie frame. In other words, the actuator in the standby position extends essentially transversally. In the standby position, the pivot axes can be in the same horizontal plane (in which case the actuator is horizontal) or in two parallel horizontal planes that are close to one another (in which case the actuator is slightly inclined). In any case, the two parallel horizontal planes are close to one another in the sense that they are both within the bogie frame, i.e. between the upper and lower side of the side beams. This arrangement has proved particularly compact, and even more so when the actuator is received within a cavity of the transverse beam. It perfectly takes advantage of the large hollow cavity available in the transverse beam and results in a very compact layout. It also allows for the integration of other components such as an anti-roll bar assembly.
- According to an alternative embodiment, the pivot axes are parallel to a transversal horizontal axis of the bogie frame. In the pivot axes are preferably spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the bogie frame.
- According to one embodiment, the actuator is a pneumatic actuator, which comprises a cylinder and a piston. Alternatively, the actuator can be an electromechanical or electromagnetic actuator.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the linkage comprises at least one set of connecting rods, comprising an upper connecting rod pivotally connected the bogie frame and a lower connecting rod pivotally connected to upper connecting rod and to the electromagnetic device. Preferably, all the one-axis pivot connections are parallel to one another to ensure that the actual motion of the linkage between the standby position and the operational position is a planar motion. The same holds for the pivot axes of the one-axis pivot connections of the actuator, which are preferably parallel with the pivot axes of the set of connecting rods.
- The connecting rods form a toggle linkage. According to one embodiment, the toggle linkage, works only on one side of its centre position, i.e. it remains unclamped, between the upper standby position and the lower operational position. In this case, the standby position can advantageously correspond to the centre position. Alternatively, the lower operational position can be an over-centre, clamped position.
- Preferably, the connecting rods have pivot axes that are parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bogie frame.
- The actuator is preferably pivotally connected to a pivot connection between the upper and lower connecting rods.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the linkage comprises four sets of connecting rods, each comprising an upper connecting rod pivotally connected the bogie frame and a lower connecting rod pivotally connected to the upper connecting rod and to the electromagnetic device. The pivot axes of the four sets of connecting rods are preferably all parallel to one direction, which can be a transverse direction or preferably the longitudinal direction of the bogie frame.
- The linkage may further comprise at least one shaft that rigidly connects at least two of the four sets of connecting rods to ensure simultaneous joint motion and reduce the number of actuators.
- The actuator further comprises a return spring to bias the electromagnetic device towards the standby position.
- The bogie may further comprise an auxiliary frame for supporting the electromagnetic drive and/or brake device, the linkage being directly connected to the auxiliary frame.
- Both aspects of the invention can be combined at will.
- Other advantages and features of the invention will become more clearly apparent from the following description of specific embodiments of the invention given as non-restrictive example only and represented in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the bogie ofFig. 5 , in a lower, operational position. -
Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section of a bogie according to a further embodiment of the invention. - Corresponding reference numerals refer to the same or corresponding parts in each of the figures.
- Referring to
Figs. 1 to 4 , a bogie for a rail vehicle comprises a H-shapedbogie frame 10 including onecross beam 12 and two side beams (not shown). TheFigs. 1 to 4 illustrate only a portion of the bogie, which is located at one end of thecross beam 12. It should be understood that the corresponding portion of the bogie at the opposite end of the cross beam is the mirror image of the portion illustrated in the drawings. - The side beams support a secondary suspension that directly or indirectly links the bogie frame to a car body of the rail vehicle. In the present case, the secondary suspension includes air springs 14 located at the intersection between the cross beam and side beams as well as one or
more dampers 16. As is well known in the art, the bogie frame is supported by two sets of wheels (not shown), which run on a railway track. The bogie frame is linked to the wheel sets by a primary suspension. - The bogie is further provided with a linear eddy current
rail brake device 18 provided with at least oneelectromagnet 20. The linear eddycurrent brake device 18 is articulated to thebogie frame 10 by means of alinkage 22 to move between an upper standby position illustrated inFig. 1 and 2 and a lower operational position illustrated inFigs. 3 and 4 . In the operational position, theelectromagnet 20 faces a rail (not shown) with an air gap, which should be kept as small and as constant as possible. - The
cross beam 12 is hollow and defines acavity 24. A linearpneumatic actuator 26 for moving thelinkage 22 between the standby position and the operational position is housed in thecavity 24, in particular in the standby position. - The
linear actuator 26 comprises acylinder 28 pivotally connected to thebogie frame 10 and apiston 30, which is pivotally connected to thelinkage 22 and slides linearly inside thecylinder 28. Areturn spring 32 biases thepiston 30 towards a retracted position that corresponds to the upper standby position of the linear eddy current brake device as depicted inFig. 1 . The pivot axes 34, 36 of the pivot connections between thecylinder 28 and thebogie frame 10 on the one hand and between thepiston 30 and thelinkage 22 on the other hand are parallel to a longitudinal horizontal axis of the bogie, i.e. perpendicular to the axis of the cross beam (and to the section plane ofFig. 1 ). - As illustrated in
Fig. 1 , theactuator 26 in the standby position is completely received in thecavity 24 defined by the hollowtransverse beam 12 and extends transversally, i.e. the pivot axes 34, 36 are spaced apart in the transverse direction. More specifically, theactuator 26 is located between an upper horizontal plane P1 that is flush with an upper side of thecross beam 12 and a lower horizontal plane P2 that is flush with a lower side of thecross beam 12. - The
linkage 22 comprises two sets 22.1, 22.2 of two connecting rods. Each set of connecting rods comprises an upper connectingrod 38 pivotally connected to thebogie frame 10 and a lower connectingrod 40 pivotally connected to upper connectingrod 38 and to the linear eddycurrent brake device 18. The pivot axes 42, 44, 36 of all the connecting rods are parallel to the longitudinal axis of thebogie frame 10. - Each set of connecting rods constitutes a toggle linkage, which moves between a folded position corresponding to the standby position of the linear eddy current brake device and a centre or slightly over-centre position which corresponds to the lower, operational position of the linear eddy current brake device. In the folded position of
Fig. 1 , the upper connectingrod 38 is located within thecavity 24. As is well known in the art, the centre position of a toggle linkage is the position in which the pivot axes of the connecting rods are coplanar and, more specifically in this particular case, are located in one and the same vertical longitudinal plane, as illustrated inFig. 3 . When the toggle reaches the centre position, vertical forces applied at the lower end of the lower connectingrod 40 are directly and integrally transmitted to thebogie frame 10 via the upper connectingrod 38, without torque being generated. - As illustrated in
Fig. 2 , the two sets 22.1, 22.2 of connecting rods at one end of the transverse beam constitute a front and a rear set of connecting rods, which are rigidly connected to one another via ashaft 46 to ensure simultaneous joint motion of the two sets. Theactuator 26 is pivotally connected to the pivot connection between the upper and lower connectingrods transverse beam 12, such that theelectromagnetic brake device 18 is supported on each side by two sets of connecting rods linked by a shaft and powered by one actuator. - As all the pivot axes 34, 36, 42 and 44 are parallel with one another and with the longitudinal direction of the bogie frame, the resultant motion of the linear eddy current brake device between the standby position and the operational position is a planar motion parallel to the vertical transverse plane of
Fig. 1 , i.e. the speed vector of any point of the assembly is parallel to the transverse plane at any time during the motion. - The two
actuators 28 one each side of thebogie frame 10 can be operated such that the motion of the linear eddycurrent brake device 18 between the standby position and the operation position is a vertical translation, without rotation and without movement in the transverse or longitudinal directions. If necessary, an inclinometer or an accelerometer or a set of inclinometers and/or accelerometers can be attached to the electromagnetic brake device and electrically connected to an electro-pneumatic valve(s) that feed the pneumatic actuators to ensure that the motion of the linear eddycurrent brake device 18 between the standby position and the operational position is controlled. - In case of a loss of pressure, the
electromagnetic brake 18 is automatically returned to the standby position by means of the return springs 32. - The bogie is further provided with an
antiroll bar 48, which extends transversally in thetransversal cavity 24 of thecross beam 12 as illustrated inFigs. 3 and 4 . - The embodiment illustrated in
Figs. 5 and 6 differs from the embodiment ofFigs 1 to 4 in that the front and rear set of connecting rods 22.1, 22.2 on one side of the bogie frame are provided each with anindividual actuator 26, so that no shaft is necessary between the two sets of connecting rods. As illustrated inFig. 6 , the twoactuators 26 are housed within thecavity 24 of thetransverse beam 12. - The embodiment illustrated in
Fig. 7 differs from the previous embodiments in that theactuator 26 extends longitudinally and in that the axes ofrotation bogie frame 10. The upper connectingrod 38 of the linkage is a lever with anintermediate fulcrum 42 pivotally connected to thebogie frame 10, one arm pivotally connected to theactuator 26 and one arm pivotally connected to the lower connectingrod 40 via apivot connection 136. Theactuator 26 in the standby position is received within thecavity 24 of thetransverse beam 12 of thebogie frame 10. The bogie is further provided with anantiroll bar 48, which extends transversally in thetransversal cavity 24 of thecross beam 12. - While the above example illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is noted that various other arrangements may also be considered, which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
- The connection between the
bogie frame 10 and a car body of the rail vehicle can include two or four springs, which can be pneumatic or coil springs. It can be with or without bolster and king pin. The bogie frame itself can be H-shaped with a single cross beam or double H-shaped, with two cross beams, in which case the actuator and linkage in the standby position can be located between the two cross beams. - While one-axis pivot connections are preferred both for the actuator and for the linkage, at least some of these one-axis pivot connections may be provided with a limited degree of freedom of rotation about a secondary axis, preferably with a resilient bushing.
- In a variant of the embodiment of
Fig. 7 , the actuator in the standby position can be received within a hollow side beam of the bogie frame. - The
electromagnetic device 18 can be a linear motor.
