Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for adapting a coupling head of a central buffer coupling with a joint half of a joint arrangement.
  • the device according to the invention is designed to mechanically connect the coupling head of a central buffer coupling of the Willison type with a joint half of a joint arrangement.
  • central buffer couplings are used to connect two independent vehicles or trains to one train.
  • the task of a central buffer coupling is solely to prevent relative movements along the vehicle longitudinal axis between the coupled car bodies. A transfer of forces in the other direction or a restriction of other degrees of freedom is not desirable.
  • a central buffer coupling is a connection between two vehicles which can be detached and reconnected without much effort. Vehicles that are connected via center buffer couplings are operable in both the coupled and uncoupled states.
  • Central buffer couplings are generally carried out in a standardized manner so that vehicles which use the same coupling system can be coupled with each other as desired.
  • a joint arrangement has a first (half) fixed to the base of a first car body (fixed) half-joint and a second fixedly connected to the base of a second car body (fixed) hinge half, said two hinge halves are hinged together via a common, vertically extending hinge pin.
  • the joint halves are designed in the form of bearing blocks, which are connectable for example via a flange with the base of the associated car body.
  • Different solutions for adapting couplings of different types are known from the prior art.

  • the maneuvering coupling can optionally be connected to a type 10, type 35, type 330, type 430, type 55 or type 140 coupling head.
  • the document EP 2 261 098 A1 relates to a transition coupling for rail vehicles for coupling an automatic central buffer coupling of the Willison type with a manually operable screw coupling, wherein the automatic center buffer coupling in the region of a laterally enclosed by rigid coupling claw coupling jaw has a component for tensile force transmission, which at its coupling-side end portion in a towing hook with a having self-acting central buffer coupling to be connected screw coupling attachable drawbar.
  • transition couplings known from the prior art for mixed coupling between central buffer couplings and screw couplings or AAR couplings are structurally and functionally unsuitable for also enabling the adaptation of a coupling head of a central buffer coupling to a joint half of a joint assembly.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device that allows a transition between the mechanical joint between the joint half of a hinge assembly and the coupling head of a central buffer coupling.
  • a solution should be given, with which the individual bodies of a multi-membered and connected via a joint assembly, in particular track-guided vehicle to mechanically couple with a vehicle which is equipped with a central buffer coupling, in particular a central buffer coupling type SA-3.
  • the solution according to the invention should be suitable for being able to transmit both tensile and compressive forces.
  • a device for adapting a coupling head of a central buffer coupling is proposed with a hinged to a base of a vehicle or fixable joint half of a hinge assembly, wherein the device has an adapter part and at least one transition part.
  • the adapter part of the device according to the invention is at least partially designed to be complementary in such a way that it can be detachably connected to the coupling head.
  • the at least one transition part serves for (mechanically) connecting the adapter part to the joint half of the joint arrangement.
  • the adapter part has at least one bearing arrangement for the articulation of a coupling head end region of the at least one transition part.

  • the joint-half-side end region of the at least one transition part is assigned at least one receptacle for connecting the transition part to the joint half.
  • This the joint half-side end portion of the at least one transition part associated receptacle may be formed, for example, as a bearing to connect the joint half-side end portion of the transition part hinged to the hinge half, in particular such that the transition part is pivotable relative to the bearing half in a horizontal plane.
  • Such a releasable connection can be realized for example via a screw connection.
  • other embodiments are conceivable in this context.
  • the at least one transitional part not only has the task of mechanically connecting the coupling head of the central buffer coupling with the joint half, but also the further task of bridging an optionally existing vertical offset between the coupling head of the central buffer coupling and the joint half.
