Description
La présente invention concerne une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire ayant un dispositif de fixation d'un équipement en sous-châssis de la voiture.The present invention relates to a railway vehicle car having a device for fixing equipment in the sub-frame of the car.
Une voiture motrice de véhicule ferroviaire comporte divers équipements volumineux, notamment pour la mise en oeuvre de moyens de motorisation. En particulier, la voiture comporte un transformateur électrique volumineux. Ainsi, un tel transformateur électrique est particulièrement encombrant lorsqu'il est agencé dans un compartiment machine de la voiture.A railway vehicle power car includes various bulky pieces of equipment, particularly for the implementation of motorization means. In particular, the car features a bulky electrical transformer. Thus, such an electrical transformer is particularly bulky when it is arranged in a machine compartment of the car.
Afin de remédier à cet encombrement, le transformateur électrique (ou autre équipement) est dans certains cas agencé en sous-châssis de la voiture.In order to remedy this bulk, the electrical transformer (or other equipment) is in certain cases arranged in the sub-frame of the car.
A cet effet, on prévoit un dispositif de fixation du transformateur électrique (ou autre équipement) en sous-châssis, comportant des moyens de fixation à ce sous-châssis.For this purpose, a device is provided for fixing the electrical transformer (or other equipment) to the sub-frame, comprising means for fixing to this sub-frame.
Un tel dispositif de fixation ne donne pas entière satisfaction. En effet, en cas d'accident ferroviaire, les moyens de fixation peuvent rompre et lâcher le transformateur électrique. Or, si le transformateur, pesant plusieurs tonnes, tombe sur la voie ferrée, il risque de causer un déraillement du véhicule ferroviaire.Such a fixing device does not give complete satisfaction. Indeed, in the event of a railway accident, the fixing means may break and release the electrical transformer. However, if the transformer, weighing several tonnes, falls on the railway track, it risks causing the railway vehicle to derail.

L'invention a notamment pour but de fournir un dispositif de fixation sécurisé.The invention aims in particular to provide a secure fixing device.
A cet effet, l'invention a notamment pour objet une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the invention relates in particular to a railway vehicle car according to claim 1.
En cas de rupture des moyens de fixation, l'équipement (par exemple le transformateur) reste porté par les axes antichute, et ne tombe donc pas sur la voie. Le risque de déraillement dû à une telle chute est donc fortement réduit.In the event of breakage of the fixing means, the equipment (for example the transformer) remains supported by the fall protection pins, and therefore does not fall onto the track. The risk of derailment due to such a fall is therefore greatly reduced.
Un dispositif de fixation selon l'invention peut comporter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises seules ou selon toutes combinaisons techniquement envisageables.
- Le dispositif de fixation comporte quatre axes antichute, chacun destiné à être agencé à proximité d'un coin de l'équipement, cet équipement présentant une forme générale de parallélépipède.
- L'équipement est un transformateur électrique.
- The fixing device comprises four anti-fall axes, each intended to be arranged near a corner of the equipment, this equipment having a general parallelepiped shape.
- The equipment is an electrical transformer.

On a représenté sur la
La voiture 10 est une voiture motrice. Ainsi, elle comporte des moyens de motorisation, et divers équipements électriques de mise en oeuvre des moyens de motorisation. En particulier, les équipements électriques comportent un transformateur électrique principal 12. Le transformateur électrique principal 12 présente une forme générale de parallélépipède. Ce transformateur électrique principal 12 est classique et ne sera donc pas décrit plus en détail.
La voiture 10 comporte par ailleurs un châssis 14, formant la structure de la voiture 10, à laquelle sont fixés les divers équipements électriques.The

A cet effet, la voiture 10 comporte un dispositif 16 de fixation du transformateur électrique 12 en sous-châssis.For this purpose, the
Le dispositif de fixation 16 comporte quatre parties de fixation identiques, chacune agencée à un coin du transformateur électrique 12. Ces quatre parties de fixation étant identiques, seule l'une d'elles sera décrite, en référence aux
Le dispositif de fixation 16 comporte des moyens 17 de fixation du transformateur au châssis 14.The
Les moyens de fixation 17 comportent une plaque de fixation 18, destinée à recevoir le transformateur électrique 12. La plaque de fixation 18 est solidarisée au châssis 14, par des moyens de solidarisation classiques 20, par exemple un système de vis/écrous.The fixing means 17 comprise a
Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation 17 comportent au moins un organe d'amortissement 22, déformable élastiquement, intercalé entre la plaque de fixation 18 et le transformateur électrique 12. L'organe d'amortissement 22 comporte des plots déformables élastiquement 24, par exemple des plots caoutchoucs. Ces plots déformables 24 sont enserrés entre la plaque de fixation 18 et une contre-plaque 26, par une vis de serrage 28 munie de moyens de vissage 30. Le transformateur électrique 12 est relié aux plots déformables 24 par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un bras de liaison 32 solidarisée d'une part au transformateur électrique 12, et passant par ailleurs à travers les plots déformables 24 dans des orifices prévus à cet effet.Advantageously, the fixing means 17 comprise at least one
Cette fixation par l'intermédiaire de l'organe d'amortissement 22 permet de limiter, ou supprimer, la transmission, vers le transformateur 12, de chocs, de bruits, de vibrations, etc.This fixing via the damping
Le dispositif de fixation 16 selon l'invention comporte par ailleurs des moyens antichute 35, destinés à empêcher une chute du transformateur 12 en cas de rupture des moyens de fixation 17, par exemple en cas d'accident ferroviaire.The
Les moyens antichute 35 comportent, pour chaque partie de fixation, au moins un axe antichute 34 monté libre dans des orifices traversant un pied du châssis 14 et traversant un organe de passage 36 associé au transformateur électrique 12, l'axe antichute 34 étant immobilisé suivant son axe longitudinal au pied du châssis 14, comme cela est notamment représenté sur la
Chaque partie de fixation comporte également, pour chaque axe antichute 34, au moins un organe 36 de passage pour l'axe antichute 34, comprenant un orifice 38 de passage de l'axe antichute 34, et solidarisé au transformateur électrique 12.Each fixing part also comprises, for each
Par exemple, l'organe de passage 36 est solidarisé au transformateur électrique 12 par soudage.For example, the
L'organe de passage 36 présente une forme générale allongée, l'orifice de passage 38 s'étendant sur toute sa longueur.The
Avantageusement, l'orifice de passage 38 présente un diamètre supérieur au diamètre de l'axe antichute 34 correspondant, par exemple au moins 1,2 fois supérieur, de préférence au moins 1,4 fois supérieur. Ainsi, il existe une mobilité possible entre le transformateur 12 et l'axe antichute 34. Cette mobilité permet de ne pas entraver les effets de l'organe d'amortissement 22.Advantageously, the
Conformément au mode de réalisation décrit, la voiture 10 s'étendant dans une direction longitudinale X, chaque axe antichute 34 s'étend parallèlement à cette direction longitudinale X.In accordance with the embodiment described, the
On notera que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit, mais pourrait présenter diverses variantes.It will be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described, but could present various variants.
En particulier, le dispositif de fixation 16 peut être utilisé pour fixer tout autre équipement envisageable en sous-châssis de la voiture 10.In particular, the
