SK9630Y1 - Railway wagon with lamella side walls - Google Patents

Abstract

Technical solution can be classified in the field of operations and transport and relates to a freight railway wagon (1) consisting of a bogie (4) and an associated box body (5) with fixed front walls (6) and sliding side walls (7). opening and closing, using a system of vertically sliding lamellas (3) guided through lamella guides (2) mounted in U-shaped guide grooves (8), forming a visible part of the door mechanisms. The proposed type of lamella door will significantly expand the usability of the wagon in rail freight transport and make it universal for the transport of various types of cargo.

Description

The field of technology

The technical solution can be classified in the field of operational operations and transport.

Current state of the art

In the field of freight rail transport, individual types of wagons are used, which are also used in other countries of the European Union (Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic). It is the effort of manufacturers to cover as many types of goods as possible with one type of wagon. In this part, the description will be focused on the description of those types of wagons that include doors. The following types of wagons are used for freight transport:

- An open (high-walled) wagon of ordinary construction with a flat floor and the possibility of frontal or lateral tipping (series E) - The wagon with frontal flaps is intended for the transport of bulk bulk bulk goods and piece goods that do not require a covered space and protection from the weather for transport .

- Open wagon of special construction (series F) - The wagon is intended for the transport of bulk bulk goods (ores, limestone, lime, gravel, gravel sand, etc.). The construction of the freight wagon enables two-sided self-falling unloading of the goods by their own gravity.

- Covered wagon of special construction (series H) - The wagon with openable aluminum side walls and with sliding and removable partitions is suitable for the transport of bulky goods and cargo on pallets. It is characterized by a system of sliding walls that allow the use of variable mechanization during loading and unloading. Each sliding wall is controlled separately.

- Platform wagon of normal construction with two axles with low hinged walls and short side rails (series K, L) - The wagon is intended for the transport of piece goods and bulky long objects, the transport of which does not require a covered space and protection from the weather.

- Platform wagon undercarriage of special construction (series S) - The wagon is used for transporting containers. Železničná spoločnost Slovensko also has other types of railway wagons (series K, L and S), which, however, are mostly open and do not have doors in their construction.

Individual rows of wagons are also used in Austria (Rail Cargo Groups Member of OBB), Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland.

The following documents deal with the innovation of railway doors and the use of slats in door construction:

The essence of the technical solution

The technical solution concerns a freight rail car with a chassis and a box superstructure connected to it, which consists of a frame structure with front walls. The front walls are tightly closed and the side walls are openable, formed by slatted sliding sides on both sides, inserted into the U-shaped profile elements at both ends of the slats, and thus movable in the vertical direction, in the extended position for convenient loading of a freight railway wagon from both sides for piece goods, or when the side panels are inserted for loading material from above.

The essence of the technical solution (while maintaining the fixed fronts of the wagon) consists in the application of slatted sides for closing and opening the loading space of the railway wagon, which allows, in comparison with previous versions, the complete opening or complete closing of the wagon, which in practice also means variability in the loading and unloading of goods for large piece shipments, as well as for other types of materials. At the same time, by opening both side walls, a freely accessible space is created from both sides for loading unit shipments using various techniques (pallet trucks, loaders, etc.). The lamella extension sides forming the side wall of the wagon are interconnected and on both sides inserted into the U-shaped profile elements at both ends of the lamellas, and thus movable in the vertical direction.

The advantage of the proposed solution is significantly easier opening and closing of the wagon compared to the types produced so far, as well as the possibility of gradual opening, which is an advantage when unloading different materials.

Implementation examples

The technical solution concerns a freight railway wagon 1 with a chassis 4 and a box superstructure 5 connected to it, which is formed by a frame structure with front walls 6. The front walls 6 are tightly closed and the side walls 7 are openable, formed by lamella extension sides on both sides, inserted into the U-shaped profile elements at both ends of the slats 3, and thus movable in the vertical direction, in the extended position for convenient loading of the freight railway wagon 1 from both sides for piece goods, or when the side panels are inserted for loading material from above.

The vertically sliding slats 3 are guided through the guides 2 of the slats placed in the guide profile grooves 8 in the shape of U, forming a visible part of the door mechanisms.

The proposed solution represents an improvement of the freight railway wagon 1 for loading and unloading various materials as well as piece goods, since when the side walls 7 are closed, the entire top of the freight railway wagon 1 is open for loading material, and when the side walls 7 are open, it is possible to load piece goods from both sides.

Industrial applicability

According to the presented solution, the proposed type of slatted door will significantly expand the usability of the wagon in freight rail transport and make it universal for the transportation of various types of cargo.
