Abstract

PURPOSE: To allow a torque rod to be omitted by connecting a leaf spring to an axle so as to give the spring action on the axle in a first plane and offset radially from the axle, thereby rendering a suspension function and torque receiving function. CONSTITUTION: The arrangement 11 comprises a wheel lever 12 connected at one end to a bogie of a train through a pivot 13, a shock absorber 16 is connected at one end to a coupling 15 of the lever 12 and at the other end to one end 17d of a leaf spring 17, the leaf spring 17 extends approximately parallel to the lever 12 and its other end 17c is rotatably connected to the bogie, and an actuator 18 is connected at one end rotatably to the bogie through a lug 19 and also the other end to the top end 17d of the leaf spring 17. Thus the rotational torque at braking presses the leaf spring 17 in the length direction and hence the leaf spring 17 functions as a torque rod.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 1 shows one of the suspension systems to date.
There, a wheel 1 shown in broken lines is rotatable on an axle 2. A wheel lever 3 is connected to its axle, which wheel 3 is in turn connected to a vehicle chassis or carriage (not shown) through a coil spring 4. During braking of the vehicle, this suspension system receives a braking force, which produces a rotational torque. The rotation torque is
Along one of the directions of the arrow 5 indicating the rotation direction. It may act on the wheel 1 as a lateral force, causing a vertical movement of the wheel. Therefore, in order to prevent the lateral force, the torque rod 6 is provided between the chassis (or trolley) and the brake flange 7.

In the suspension device according to the present invention, a member (that is, a wheel) that is in contact with a surface and bears a load, an axle that rotatably supports the member, and an axle connected to the axle. And a leaf spring. The leaf spring exerts a spring action on the axle in the first plane,
It is also connected to the axle so as to be radially offset from the axle. Therefore, when acceleration or deceleration occurs in the vehicle, the movement of the axle is suppressed. Also, in this suspension device, one end of a leaf spring is rotatably connected to the vehicle. Thereby, the leaf spring can rotate from the raised position to the lowered position of the wheel.

As described above, the leaf spring has both a suspension function for suspending the vehicle body and a function for receiving torque. Therefore, the torque rod of the conventional device can be omitted completely. Also, since the spring at least partially functions as a torque rod, the torque rod as before will be small and light. The device according to the invention is at least lighter in weight than before and, in addition, has a smaller number of components if the torque rod is completely omitted.

You can receive it on both 7 and 29. This is because the end portions of the leaf springs 17 and 29 are connected by the rotary link (lug) 30. However, the shock absorber 16 and the actuator 18 are connected to the center of the rotary link 30 at one end, and the carriage is connected to the center of the rotary link 30 at the other end, and the pivot pin 20 is further connected to the two plates. It should be arranged in the center of the link connecting the central parts of the springs 17, 29.
