Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schienenfahrzeugfederung mit einer Luftfeder, angeordnet zwischen gefederter Masse und ungefederter Masse, nämlich zwischen Karosserie bzw. Wagenkasten und Fahrwerk bzw. Fahrschemel eines Schienenfahrzeugs, wobei die Schienenfahrzeugfederung eine Felge und eine der Felge gegenüberliegende Oberplatte aufweist, wobei die Felge mit einer Gleitplatte versehen ist und Felge und Oberplatte so angeordnet sind, dass bei einem Ausfall der Luftfeder die Gleitplatte und die Oberplatte aneinander bzw. aufeinander liegen und so die Karosserie am Fahrschemel abgestützt ist.The invention relates to a rail vehicle suspension with an air spring, arranged between sprung mass and unsprung mass, namely between the body or car body and chassis or subframe of a rail vehicle, the rail vehicle suspension having a rim and a rim of the opposite top plate, wherein the rim with a sliding plate is provided and rim and top plate are arranged so that in case of failure of the air spring, the sliding plate and the top plate to each other or each other and so the body is supported on the subframe.

Solche Schienenfahrzeugfederungen beinhalten in aller Regel eine Luftfeder als Hauptfeder und eine Gummifeder oder Blockfeder als Notfeder. Hauptfeder und Notfeder sind zwischen Wagenkasten und Fahrschemel des Fahrzeuges so angeordnet, dass bei einem Ausfall der Hauptfeder die Karosserie am Fahrwerk durch die Notfeder abgestützt wird und die Abstützung über gegenüberliegende zusammenwirkende karosserieseitige und fahrgestellseitige Auflage- und Gleitflächen bzw. Gleitplatten/Gleitelemente erfolgt. Diese Gleitplatten sorgen dann für eine verminderte Reibung und für eine problemlose Abstützung im Notlaufbetrieb.Such rail vehicle suspensions usually include an air spring as a main spring and a rubber spring or block spring as an emergency spring. Main spring and emergency spring are arranged between the vehicle body and subframe of the vehicle so that in case of failure of the main spring, the body is supported on the chassis by the emergency spring and the support via opposite co-operating body side and chassis side support and sliding surfaces or sliding plates / sliding takes place. These sliding plates then provide for reduced friction and for trouble-free support in emergency operation.

Hierzu offenbart die EP 1 644 234 B1 eine zentrierende Notfederabstützung für eine Luftfeder, bei der die über die Luftfeder verbundenen Balgfelgen Führungsnuten aufweisen, die bei Auflage des Wagenkastens auf der Notfeder/Zusatzfeder einen seitlichen Versatz des Wagenkastens in Bezug auf das Fahrgestell verhindern sollen. Die einander zugeneigten Flächen der Führungsnuten und ihrer Gegenstücke sind mit Gleitelementen versehen, um bei Verdrehungen oder Querverschiebungen des Wagenkastens relativ zum Fahrgestell die Reibung zu vermindern.For this purpose, the EP 1 644 234 B1 a centering Notfederabstützung for an air spring, in which the connected via the air spring bellows rims have guide grooves which are intended to prevent a lateral offset of the car body with respect to the chassis when resting the car body on the emergency spring / auxiliary spring. The mutually inclined surfaces of the guide grooves and their counterparts are provided with sliding elements in order to reduce the friction during rotations or transverse displacements of the car body relative to the chassis.

Auch bei solchen mit Notlaufsystemen ausgerüsteten Fahrwerken ist es in der Praxis wünschenswert, möglichst frühzeitig einen beginnenden Luftverlust in einem Federungssystem zu erkennen. Hierzu sind im Stand der Technik Messeinrichtungen oder Sensoren bekannt, die in aller Regel innerhalb der Luftfeder, das heißt innerhalb des Luftfederbalges zwischen der Felge und der Oberplatte einer solchen Federung angeordnet sind. Solche Messsysteme benötigen daher zusätzlichen Bauraum und sind auch in Bezug auf ihre Einbindung und Verkabelung im Gesamtsystem problematisch.Even in such equipped with emergency running gear chassis, it is desirable in practice to recognize as early as possible a beginning air loss in a suspension system. For this purpose, measuring devices or sensors are known in the art, which are usually arranged within the air spring, that is, within the air spring bellows between the rim and the top plate of such suspension. Such measuring systems therefore require additional space and are also problematic in terms of their integration and cabling in the overall system.

Im normalen Betriebszustand besteht zwischen der Oberplatte der Luftfederung und dem darunterliegenden Systemteil "Felge", welches bei Schienenfahrzeugluftfedern in der Regel eine Gleitplattenaufnahme mit einer Gleitplatte aufweist, ein Luftspalt. Bei höherem Druckverlust oder bei zu starker bzw. erheblicher stoßförmiger Belastung bzw. kann es auch zu einem direkten Kontakt von Oberplatte und Gleitplatte, kommen, so dass der Luftspalt nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Bei einem solchen direkten Kontakt zwischen Oberplatte und Felge bzw. Gleitplatte können innerhalb der Luftfeder befindliche Sensorikbauteile geschädigt oder zerstört werden.In the normal operating condition exists between the top plate of the air suspension and the underlying system part "rim", which in rail vehicle air springs usually has a Gleitplattenaufnahme with a sliding plate, an air gap. At higher pressure loss or too strong or considerable impact load or it may also come to a direct contact of the top plate and sliding plate, so that the air gap is no longer present. In such a direct contact between the top plate and rim or sliding plate located inside the air spring sensor components can be damaged or destroyed.

Für die Erfindung bestand also die Aufgabe, den Abstand zwischen Oberplatte und Felge bzw. Gleitplatte mithilfe einer Sensorik zu erfassen, die keine besonderen Erfordernisse an dem zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraum stellt, die einfache Anschlussmöglichkeiten von außen erlaubt, die Beladungszustande und Notsituationen sicher detektieren kann, die auch bei direkten Kontakt von Oberplatte und Gleitplatte nicht beschädigt wird und die durch Umgebungseinflüsse, wie z.B. Temperatur oder Feuchtigkeit, nicht beeinflusst wird.For the invention, therefore, the task was to detect the distance between the top plate and rim or sliding plate using a sensor that does not require special requirements of the available space that allows easy connection options from the outside, can reliably detect the loading conditions and emergency situations, which is not damaged even in direct contact of the top plate and sliding plate and by environmental influences, such as Temperature or humidity, not affected.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.This object is achieved by the features of the main claim. Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims.

Dabei bilden erfindungsgemäß die Felge oder Gleitplatte einerseits und die Oberplatte andererseits zusammenwirkende Teile eines Sensors oder Sensorsystems aus, die abhängig vom Abstand zwischen der Felge oder Gleitplatte und der Oberplatte ein elektrisches Signal erzeugen. Damit werden die bereits in der Luftfederung vorhandenen Bauteilen als Sensorbauteile genutzt, so dass zusätzliche, innerhalb der Federung prominent ausgebildete Einbauten völlig entfallen.In this case, according to the invention, the rim or sliding plate on the one hand and the top plate on the other hand form cooperating parts of a sensor or sensor system which, depending on the distance between the rim or sliding plate and the top plate an electrical Generate signal. Thus, the already existing in the air suspension components are used as sensor components, so that additional, prominent within the suspension internals completely eliminated.

Der proportional zur Belastung sich einstellende Luftspalt zwischen Felge oder Gleitplatte und Oberplatte kann so permanent gemessen werden, wobei sowohl der Beladungs- oder Belastungszustand als auch ein direkter Kontakt, z. B. bei Überlastung, detektiert werden können. Dieses Warnsystem ist somit in der Luftfeder integriert und arbeitet ohne Durchführungen für Kabel oder Datenleitungen, da sowohl die Oberplatte als auch die Felge oder Gleitplatte von außen zugängig sind.The proportional to the load adjusting air gap between the rim or sliding plate and top plate can be measured so permanently, with both the load or load condition as well as a direct contact, for. B. overload, can be detected. This warning system is thus integrated in the air spring and works without feedthroughs for cables or data lines, since both the top plate and the rim or sliding plate are accessible from the outside.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung besteht darin, dass die zusammenwirkenden Teile einen induktiven Sensor bilden, bei dem vorzugsweise die Oberplatte eine Spule und die Felge oder Gleitplatte ein ferritisches Material aufweisen und der Sensor ein von der mit dem Abstand zwischen der Felge oder Gleitplatte und der Oberplatte sich ändernden Induktivität abhängiges Signal erzeugt. Damit ergibt sich eine mit einfachen Bauteilen zu realisierende Sensorik, die es erlaubt, permanent und ohne großen Aufwand den Abstand zu messen.An advantageous development is that the cooperating parts form an inductive sensor, in which preferably the top plate a coil and the rim or sliding plate have a ferritic material and the sensor of the one with the distance between the rim or sliding plate and the top plate changing Inductance dependent signal generated. This results in a sensor to be realized with simple components, which allows to measure the distance permanently and without much effort.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung besteht darin, dass die zusammenwirkenden Teile einen kapazitiven Sensor bilden, bei dem in oder an der Oberplatte und in oder an der Felge oder Gleitplatte kapazitiv wirksame Flächen vorgesehen sind und der Sensor ein von der mit dem Abstand zwischen der Felge oder Gleitplatte und der Oberplatte sich ändernden Kapazität abhängiges Signal erzeugt. Damit entsteht im Prinzip ein Kondensator aus zwei elektrisch geladenen Flächen, die durch ein Dielektrikum getrennt sind. Hier bildet nun die Oberplatte der Luftfeder die eine Kondensatorfläche/-oberfläche und die die Felge bzw. die Gleitplatte oder der Gleitplattenträger die gegenüberliegende Kondensatoroberfläche. Ober eine Kapazitätsmessung kann nun bei geeigneter Kalibrierung auf einfache und zuverlässige Weise der Abstand zwischen beiden Teilen bestimmt werden.A further advantageous embodiment is that the cooperating parts form a capacitive sensor, in which capacitively effective surfaces are provided in or on the top plate and in or on the rim or sliding plate and the sensor of the one with the distance between the rim or sliding plate and the top plate generates changing capacitive dependent signal. This creates in principle a capacitor of two electrically charged surfaces, which are separated by a dielectric. Here now forms the upper plate of the air spring, the one capacitor surface / surface and the rim or the sliding plate or Gleitplattenträger the opposite capacitor surface. A capacitance measurement can now be determined with suitable calibration in a simple and reliable way, the distance between the two parts.

Die Luftfederung 3 weist eine Felge 7 und eine der Felge gegenüberliegende Oberplatte 8 aufweist, wobei die Felge 7 mit einer ringförmigen Gleitplatte 9 versehen ist. Die Gleitplatte 9 ist über eine Gleitplattenaufnahme 9b mit der Felge 7 verbunden. Felge 7 und Oberplatte 8 sind so angeordnet, dass bei einem Ausfall der Luftfeder 5 die Gleitplatte 9 und die Oberplatte 8 aneinander bzw. aufeinander liegen und so die Karosserie 4 am Fahrschemel 2 abgestützt ist Fig. 2 shows the rail vehicle suspension 3 with a so-called "semi-bellows" formed bellows air spring 5 with an air connection 6 in more detail. The air suspension 3 has a rim 7 and a rim of the opposite top plate 8, wherein the rim 7 is provided with an annular sliding plate 9. The slide plate 9 is connected to the rim 7 via a slide plate holder 9b.
