Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cradle bogie for a rail vehicle and a rail vehicle.
  • Cradle bogies for rail vehicles commonly comprise loose wheel pairs or wheelsets with parallel wheel axles in one axle plane.
  • the wheels or sets of wheels are connected to a frame via a primary suspension which is elastic perpendicular to the axis plane and which in turn is connected to a cradle via a secondary suspension which is elastic perpendicular to the axis plane.
  • the cradle in turn, can be connected to a car body of the rail vehicle in such a way that the cradle bogie can rotate about an axis of rotation relative to the car body.
  • the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the wheel axles.
  • the car body includes an articulated bracket for articulated connection to another articulated bracket of a preceding rail vehicle.
  • the cradle bogie is connected to the car body at a connection point such that the axis of rotation is perpendicular to a vehicle longitudinal axis.
  • the longitudinal axis of the vehicle runs through a coupling point of the articulated console and intersects the axis of rotation at an intersection.
  • the connection point is arranged centrally with respect to the car body along a transverse axis of the vehicle, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
  • the special low conicity of idler wheels means that deflections from the central position are only gradually returned to the center of the track, even if the track is completely free. Due to parasitic, frictional and/or effects due to eccentricity of the center of gravity, in real life track actually never or only rarely realized a return.
  • these or the cradle bogie can be mechanically coupled to the vehicle body itself or to an adjacent one.
  • the rigid mechanical coupling causes the wheels or wheel sets to be articulated in accordance with an ideal track course and curve. If the course and/or curve of the track deviates from the ideal shape, this means that the loose wheels or wheelsets are not articulated parallel to the track, which is associated with higher wear.
  • the object is to specify a generic cradle bogie that is associated with less wear.
  • DE 16 05 129 A1 , DE 25 44 956 A1 and DE 27 10 983 A1 each disclose weighing bogies for rail vehicles, comprising a cradle that can be coupled to a first car body so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation, and a frame that is connected to the cradle via an elastic element.
  • CH 543 416 A and EP 0 613 809 A1 teach additional plain bearings to support the car body on the cradle.
  • a weighing bogie according to claim 1 for a rail vehicle and a rail vehicle according to claim 6 are therefore made available.
  • the cradle bogie comprises a cradle that can be coupled to a first car body so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation, and a frame that is connected to the cradle via a self-centering elastic element.
  • the elastic element is elastic with respect to rotation and/or tilting of the frame relative to the cradle.
  • the cradle bogie is characterized in that the cradle comprises at least one coupling element for further coupling a mechanical coupling device to a second car body, the coupling element being arranged on the bogie at a distance from a plane in which the axis of rotation lies and which is perpendicular to the wheel axles.
  • the special elasticity of the elastic element which acts here as a secondary spring, has the advantage that irregularities in a course and/or in a curve of a track are compensated for in relation to the mechanical coupling in the form of lateral and/or rotating movement. This leads to less wear and tear on the wheels and track.
  • the rail vehicle comprises a first and a second car body, which is articulated to the first car body at a coupling point, and a cradle bogie according to the invention, which is rotatably connected to the first car body about the axis of rotation in such a way that the axis of rotation is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first car body which runs through the coupling point and intersects the axis of rotation at an intersection point.
  • the rail vehicle comprises a coupling device coupled with a first end to the coupling element and with a second end to the second car body.
  • the cradle bogie further comprises two pairs of wheels, the wheels of each pair having the same wheel axle and the wheel axles of the two pairs are arranged parallel to one another in an axial plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the wheels can be loose wheels or each pair can form a wheel set.
  • a wheel set consists of wheels that are rigidly connected via a shaft to transmit torque.
  • the cradle bogie can also include axle bearings in which the wheel axles are mounted, it being possible for the axle bearings to be connected to the frame via other elastic elements acting as primary suspension.
  • the elastic element can comprise one or more spring elements, each of the spring elements being able to comprise an elastomer spring, a helical spring and/or a hydraulic spring arranged in a suspended manner with a return achieved via a pendulum effect.
  • the elastic element can comprise two spring elements which are arranged at the outer ends of the cradle and which support or bring about the self-centering.
  • the second end can be coupled to the second car body at a distance from the coupling point.
  • the second end can be coupled to the second car body at a distance from the coupling point in a direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the distance can be proportional to a first further distance between the coupling element and the point of intersection, a second further distance of the coupling point from the axis of rotation and a third further distance of the coupling point from a second axis of rotation of a second cradle bogie connected to the second car body so as to be rotatable about the second axis of rotation.
  • a length of the articulation device can be adjustable.
  • the cradle bogie 100 comprises a cradle 10, an elastic member 20 (secondary suspension) and a frame 30.
  • the cradle 10 is rotatable about an axis of rotation D with an in figure 1 non-existing car body or car body part of a rail vehicle can be connected.
  • the cradle 10 includes a docking member 40 for docking a mechanical coupling to the car body or to the car body part or a car body of a preceding or following part of the rail vehicle or a car body arranged between the car body and the preceding or following car body without connection to a bogie.
  • Wheel axles of two wheel sets lie in an axis plane A, with the wheel axis rigidly connecting the wheels of the respective wheel set and acting as a shaft for transmitting torque, or of two pairs of loose wheels 50.1, 50.2.
  • figure 1 represents a vertical section through the axis plane A.
  • the wheel axles are held by axle bearings 60 .
  • the axle bearings 60 are connected to the frame via further elastic elements 70 (primary suspension).
  • the other elastic elements 70 are elastic in the direction of the axis of rotation D. They compensate for unevenness in the track.
  • an axis of symmetry of the elastic element 20 coincides with the axis of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation D is perpendicular to an axis plane A.
  • the elastic element 20 is elastic with respect to rotation and/or tilting of the frame 30 relative to the cradle 10 cradle 10
  • the weighing bogie can therefore avoid irregularities in a course and/or in a real curve of a track compared to an ideal curve predetermined by rigid mechanical linkage. This results in less wear and tear on the wheels and track.
  • figure 2 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a rail vehicle 200 according to the invention in the non-deflected state.
  • figure 3 shows the first exemplary embodiment of the rail vehicle 200 in the deflected state.
  • the rail vehicle 200 comprises an exemplary embodiment of the cradle bogie 100 according to the invention, a first car body 110, a coupling device 140 and a coupling point 151 for articulated coupling to another, second car body.
  • the coupling point is provided on an articulated bracket 150 .
  • Another articulated bracket 160 of the second car body of the rail vehicle or of a vehicle part arranged between the rail vehicle and the second car body of the rail vehicle without its own bogie can be coupled to the coupling point 151 . This is schematic in Figures 2 and 3 shown.
  • the weighing bogie 100 is connected to the first car body 110, for example at a connection point V.
  • the axis of rotation D passes through the connection point V and not in the figure 2 shown intersection with a vehicle longitudinal axis L.
  • the vehicle longitudinal axis L runs perpendicular to the axis of rotation D through the coupling point 151.
  • the connection point V is arranged centrally along a vehicle transverse axis Q with respect to the car body 110, but the invention is not limited to this.
  • the transverse axis of the vehicle Q is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle L and perpendicular to the axis of rotation D.
  • the coupling element 40 of the cradle of the cradle bogie 100 is arranged at a distance from the axis of rotation D.
  • the spacing in the direction of the wheel axles is not mandatory.
  • One end of the linkage device 140 is connected to the coupling element 40 of the cradle of the cradle bogie 100 .
  • the opposite end of the pivoting device 140 is connected to the further articulated bracket 160 connected to a pivot point 162, which has a distance B0 to the coupling point 151.
  • FIG 2 is an end face of the further joint bracket 160, on which the pivot point 161 and the coupling point 151 are arranged, parallel to the vehicle transverse axis Q.
  • the pivot device 140 transmits this position to the cradle, which in turn transmits the position to the wheel axles. In the ideal track, the wheel axles are then also parallel to the vehicle transverse axis Q.
  • the coupling device 140 is designed so that the coupling point 161 is spaced apart from the coupling point 151 by the distance B0 in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal axis L and perpendicular to the axis of rotation D.
  • the other articulated bracket 160 is not parallel to the vehicle transverse axis Q.
  • the articulation device 140 transmits this position to the cradle, which in turn transmits the position to the wheel axles.
  • the wheel axles are also not parallel to the transverse axis Q of the vehicle.
  • the conicity of the wheels basically causes the self-centering in the track.
  • the elasticity of the elastic element allows the wheels or wheel sets to compensate for deviations from the ideal track. Therefore, the deviations cannot disturb the self-centering. In this way, the wheels or wheelsets run with little wear on the real track, despite the linkage corresponding to an idealized track course and/or curve. In particular in the area of the sheet infeed and outfeed, such deviations are always present and can be compensated according to the invention.
  • the linkage is one-sided.
  • the articulation device 140 is coupled to a coupling element 40 and is used for connection to the further articulated bracket 160 of the second car body of the rail vehicle, which is articulated to the first car body.
  • the linkage is bilateral.
  • a further articulation device 141 is coupled to a further coupling element 41 and is used for further connection to the further joint bracket 160.
  • a distance B1 of the further coupling element 41 from the axis of rotation D is equal to the distance of the coupling element 40 from the axis of rotation D in the exemplary embodiment, the further coupling element 41 is arranged opposite the coupling element 40 with respect to the axis of rotation D.
  • the opposite arrangement is optional.
  • an arrangement is also possible that is symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis of the bogie, which runs perpendicular to the axis of rotation and the wheel axles.
  • a rotation path s In order to bring about a rotation angle ⁇ of the cradle bogie, a rotation path s must be implemented on the coupling element 40 .
  • the following applies: s 2*B1* ⁇ * ⁇ /360°. 2* ⁇ and 360° each correspond to a full circle.
  • the invention is suitable, for example, for low-floor trams with a loose-wheel bogie connected to the car body via a cradle in the middle part of the vehicle.
  • a rolling element pivot bearing or pivot in combination with bearing sliding plates can still be used.
  • the relation of the joint angle ⁇ (R) to a radius R of the curved track can be largely freely selected by a designer of the rail vehicle.
  • This can be used specifically for one-way vehicles.
  • it can be advantageous to make the distance between the pivot point of a leading bogie greater than the distance between the pivot point of a trailing one bogie to choose.
  • contact with the outer rail can be counteracted, which results from the freedom of rotation of the elastic element and the turning moment developed by the wheelsets.
  • the distances between the pivot points are advantageously selected in such a way that the leading outer wheel does not touch the rear of the wheel on the leading edge.
  • the articulation of the cradle bogie shown in the exemplary embodiments is exemplary. Other articulations of the cradle are possible.
  • the secondary spring of the exemplary embodiments is a single elastomeric spring. Depending on the width and height of the installation space, a pair of elastomer springs can also be used. Alternatively or additionally, helical spring(s) and/or hydraulic spring(s) arranged in a hanging manner can be used with a return achieved via a pendulum effect.
  • the cradle can be cranked.
  • a rotary bearing can provide a connection between the cradle and the car body.
  • Lateral support can be provided by sliding plates.
  • An embodiment of the invention includes the use of a cradle positioning depending on a car body position in the curve to achieve an idealized center position and elastic adjustment of the wheel pairs to the actual conditions on the track. Restoring forces of the elastic element cause centering, which always returns the frame to a position parallel to the axis of the track and thus enables the wheel pairs to make perfect contact with the rails.
