Description

Modular articulated wagon car carrier Metric bogies.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a wagon Modular articulated bogie car holder for metric track, the which has been conceived and carried out in order to obtain important advantages over other existing analog media Purposes

In our time, and after many studies of market made, the total lack in the use of wagons to transport vehicles by road metric, which, is totally wasted for transport of merchandise today.

Today, there is a serious problem with the road car transport in trucks dedicated to it. The number of vehicles to be transported daily and the volume of trucks needed for it is increasing and with it the traffic problems, pollution and other inconveniences. With this end would reduce traffic and the problems derived from this activity, in addition to exploiting the market of freight transport by this type of routes.

The purpose of this utility model is to create a wagon formed modular articulated car carrier for a composition of at least two to "n" modules and that ride "n + 1" bogies, of which "n-1" They are shared by every two modules.

The present utility model is developed in the mechanical sector of articulated rail vehicles of two-story car transport to bogies and suitable for the Metric traffic.

Background of the invention

The transport of vehicles, because It has a volume much greater than its weight, compared to other types of cargo, requires wagons in which there is a sufficient height between the two floors and that the height from the floor higher than the catenary is also sufficient to place a vehicle in it with the corresponding clearances. It implies that the lower floor is located as low as possible and the need to place ramps at the ends that allow get the height of the automatic hitch (determined by compatibility needs between wagons). For this reason it have considered wagons formed, at least, by two modules, of such that in the union of the same the ramp is not necessary due to the joint system by ball joint.

In addition, this high volume / weight ratio of cars versus other charges, results in charges necessary are not too high, with which part of the Bogies can be shared depending on the modular composition chosen

Thus, for example, for a composition of "n" modules, this will have "n + 1" bogies being "n-1" bogies which are shared in the composition.

The model includes all the methodologies possible so that, depending on the volume of cars you want transport, be able to choose the most optimal combination with this type of compositions. At the ends of both compositions, the floor lower would take some ramps to free the automatic hitch, while the upper floor would be formed by a fixed part and other mobile The mobile would be necessary to be able to raise it to load the lower floor and lower it to load in the higher.

There is currently no wagon articulated bogie car holder for metric track both in Spain and in other countries.

In addition there is no wagon modular car carrier since this type of car It is usually formed by two semi-wagons.

Description of the invention

A wagon has been developed articulated car carrier, 2 or "n" modules, of two floors that allow vehicles to be transported by rail networks of metric route, being this at present unfeasible.

To carry out the object of said invention Shared bogies are used between modules, allowing Reduce the costs of wagons. Also, that high relationship volume / weight of cars versus other loads, results in that the necessary loads are not too high, thereby The bogies can be shared by two modules.

This car allows you to achieve a composition consisting of a large number of modules, which will allow you to load a large number of cars. At the ends of both compositions, the lower floor has ramps to free the automatic hitch, while the upper floor is formed by a fixed and a movable part. The mobile is necessary to be able to lift it up in order to load the lower floor and lower it to load the upper floor. In the intermediate modules you would not have to perform any type of maneuver since the upper floor is
permanent.

It is the first time that a design and manufacture 2-story car wagon formed by a modular composition of 2 to "n" modules, in addition to avoiding inconveniences arising from stability problems for the metric traffic in which the relationship can be checked existing between the widths of the wagon and the bogies.

Description of a preferred embodiment

This Utility Model is formed by a modular bogies car carrier wagon metrics.

To be able to conveniently describe said model we will be based on a composition of three modules (1, 2 and 3), of which two would be extremes (1 and 3) and one intermediate (2), although, as previously highlighted, these wagons can be mounted from 2 modules to "n" modules with "n + 1" Bogies of which "n-1" are shared.

The extreme modules (1) and (3) would be formed by:

-

A frame (4) that would mount the bogies, automatic hitch (5) and brake (6).

-

A Fixed lower floor with a ramp area at the ends (7) that would save the automatic hitch (5).

-

A fixed upper floor, with a flip end (8) on the side opposite to the central coupling, in which the mechanisms are located drive (9).

-

A anti-vandal side protection (10).

The union between the wagons will be formed in their central area of a ball joint (12) with bolt that it constitutes the union element between the two platforms of the wagon. For this, each semi-car will have a coupling different, one female and one male so that through a kneecap stay together.

The intermediate module (3) would be formed by:

-

A frame (4) that would mount the bogies (shared) and brake (6) (no in all modules). The frame would have no headboard and in a end would mount the coupling (11) of the female and on the other the male.

-

Floor lower and upper floor fixed.

-

A anti-vandal side protection (10).

The most important advantages of this new invention would be:

- Project innovation that until now never It had developed.

- Operation of the metric networks in the merchandise transports.

- Reduction of the cost of the car by many reasons, such as riding shared bogies, the possibility that being the same composition only two headers are mounted, avoiding the ramp area of the entry / exit of vehicles both to avoid automatic hitching and having to rise the floor for the passage of vehicles between modules and design of the brake depending on the modules of the composition.

- Variety of wagon lengths, depending on the chosen composition, since we are trying from two to "n" modules what comes to be a large number of types of wagons, allowing this to carry a lot of cars in a single composition depending on its length.

Currently there are two-story axle car carrier, consisting of two semi-wagons, but in no case to track bogies metric and that can be shared. In addition to this model, it is the the first time a modular composition of 2-story car carrier.

- Reduction of traffic generated in this type of road transport, as well as environmental impact.
