Abstract

The guide device is composed of two railway elements set up next to the axles of the road vehicle. Each element is composed of a frame (9) which is fitted under the vehicle side frames. The axle (6) of the railway wheels (1) is out of alignment to allow passage of hydraulic motors (2). The railway wheels with their hydraulic motors are mounted on pivot axles (3) which allow the self-orientation of the wheels on the rails and integrate a hydraulic suspension (4) per wheel, in front of the pivot axle connected to a nitrogen sphere. The right and left wheels of each axle are connected by a coupling bar (7) to an elastic movement control (8).

Dispositif relatif à un système de guidage permettant d'utiliser un véhicule routier sur rail. Device relating to a guidance system for using a road vehicle on rail.

Les systèmes de guidage actuellement utilisés pour permettre aux véhicules routier de se déplacer sur les voies ferroviaires ne sont pas toujours conformes aux réglementations en vigueur et ne répondent pas forcément aux contraintes liés à leur utilisation sur ces voies ferroviaires en offrant toute la sécurité pour rouler sur rail, passer à une vitesse assez élevée dans les courbes à rayons court et être accepté sur tous les types de voies ferrées-
Les recherches d'antériorité dans ce domaine d'application permettent d'affirmer qu'à ce jour aucune demande de brevets nationaux, européens ou internationaux est concordante avec le dispositif de l'invention décrit ici.
The guidance systems currently used to allow road vehicles to move on railway tracks do not always comply with the regulations in force and do not necessarily meet the constraints linked to their use on these railway tracks by offering all the safety for driving on rail, pass at a fairly high speed in short radius curves and be accepted on all types of railways-
Prior art searches in this field of application make it possible to affirm that to date no request for national, European or international patents is consistent with the device of the invention described here.

Sur les dessins annexés sont données à titre d'exemple non limitatif, les formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention : La figure 1 représente le châssis routier en position rail.  In the accompanying drawings are given by way of nonlimiting example, the embodiments of the object of the invention: FIG. 1 represents the road chassis in the rail position.

La motricité se fait par les quatre roues ferroviaires (1) supportant l'ensemble du véhicule La figure 2 représente le châssis en position route.  The traction is done by the four railway wheels (1) supporting the entire vehicle. Figure 2 shows the chassis in the road position.

Les pneumatiques (2) du véhicule sont en contact sur le sol carrossable, les roues ferroviaires (1) sont relevées, afin de ménager une garde au sol maximale.  The tires (2) of the vehicle are in contact on the road surface, the railway wheels (1) are raised, in order to provide maximum ground clearance.

La figure 3 représente un des éléments à positionner sous le châssis du véhicule. FIG. 3 represents one of the elements to be positioned under the chassis of the vehicle.

Les roues ferroviaires (1) sont équipées chacune d'un moteur rotatif (2) à flux d'huile. Elles sont montées chacune sur un axe de pivotement (3) qui permet l'orientation de la roue imposée par les courbes de voies. Les axes de pivots de chaque roue sont dotés d'une suspension hydraulique (4) reliée à une sphère d'azote d'amortissement. L'ensemble de chaque axe de pivot suspendu est lui même maintenu par les pièces de désaxement (5) solidaires de l'essieu (6) à chaque extrémité de celui-ci. Les deux roues d'un même élément sont reliés entre elles par une barre d'accouplement (7) dotée d'un contrôle de mouvement élastique (8). Cet ensemble d'organes est monté sur un bâti (9) adapté au châssis du véhicule.  The railway wheels (1) are each equipped with a rotary motor (2) with oil flow. They are each mounted on a pivot axis (3) which allows the orientation of the wheel imposed by the track curves. The pivot axes of each wheel have a hydraulic suspension (4) connected to a nitrogen cushioning sphere. The assembly of each suspended pivot axis is itself held by the offset parts (5) integral with the axle (6) at each end thereof. The two wheels of the same element are connected together by a coupling bar (7) provided with an elastic movement control (8). This set of members is mounted on a frame (9) adapted to the vehicle chassis.

La figure 4 représente le même élément en trois dimensions en position d'utilisation. FIG. 4 represents the same element in three dimensions in the position of use.

Le bâti (9) destiné à être positionné sous le châssis du véhicule est doté de vérins (10) qui déployés amènent l'essieu (6) en position de déplacement du véhicule sur rails, en le faisant pivoter sur les axes (Il). Le mouvement inversé des vérins ramène l'essieu et les roues ferroviaires en position repos pour l'utilisation du véhicule sur route.  The frame (9) intended to be positioned under the chassis of the vehicle is provided with jacks (10) which, deployed, bring the axle (6) into the position of movement of the vehicle on rails, by pivoting it on the axes (II). The reverse movement of the cylinders brings the axle and the railway wheels to the rest position for using the vehicle on the road.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention permet facilement l'accès à toutes les voies ferrées via un chemin carrossable, la mise sur rails étant très pratique grâce à une parfaite visualisation des roues ferroviaires et des rails grâce aux moniteurs vidéos installés dans la cabine et reliés à des caméras correctement positionnées. A partir de là, le véhicule muni des systèmes, objet de l'invention peut se mouvoir sur voies ferrées à grande vitesse pour intervenir là où cela est nécessaire et en toute sécurité grâce aux trois avantages principaux de l'invention :  The device according to the invention allows easy access to all the railway tracks via a carriage road, the setting on rails being very practical thanks to a perfect visualization of the railway wheels and rails thanks to the video monitors installed in the cabin and connected to cameras correctly positioned. From there, the vehicle fitted with the systems which are the subject of the invention can move on high-speed railways to intervene where necessary and in complete safety thanks to the three main advantages of the invention:
