Definitions

  • Each axle side has associated therewith lateral motion abutments and hydraulic [56] References Cited damping means which are connected to a first bearing UNITED STATES PATENTS means in the bogie and to a second bearing means in 1,485,224 2/1924 Hamilton 105/218 A the axle bearing arrangement and which during lifting 1,961,010 5/1934 Norbom 105/192 of the locomotive proportionately absorb the weight 2,080,180 5/1937 Messier 105/171 of the wheel set and the residual force of the relaxed 2,168,293 8/1939 Kiesel, Jr. 105/182 R springs.
  • the present invention relates to a bogie locomotive liftable by means of an auxiliary device, according to which spring controlled sets of wheels are suspended in the bogie, the axle springs of said wheel sets being damped by means of hydraulic dampers or shock absorbers.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a three axle bogie of a six axle locomotive with the hydraulic dampers according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of a six axle locomotive with the dampers which serve as lifting and holding means for the wheel sets according to the invention, according to which the lifting is effected by means of cradles on the bogie frame.
  • FIG. 3 is a cutout section of FIG. 2 showing the arrangement and attachment of a hydraulic damper associated with an axle spring according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the cutout shown in FIG. 3 according to the invention.
  • the invention is characterized primarily in that the damping means for the wheel set springs are so designed that the forces generated by the weight of the wheel sets during lifting of the locomotive, as well as the residual forces of the expanded support springs, may be absorbed by the damping means.
  • the damping means necessary for damping the axle springs, can be dimensioned from the very start so that, without material additional costs, they will be able to absorb the weight of the wheel sets plus the residual force of the expanded axle springs.
  • damping means per wheel side are mounted in the middle axle.
  • damping means may be installed without oil and valves and simply serve as a lifting and holding device for the wheel sets. It has also been found in this connection that even with the middle axle. which under certain circumstances requires no damping means, the mounting of damping means, in addition to yielding a more uniform appearance, af-
  • the lifting of the entire locomotive occurs in a known way in such a manner that particular holding points are mounted, for example, on the bridge beam, which holding points are engaged by the lifting device.
  • the lifting of the bogie with the locomotive occurs in this case through a coupling plate on the journal or through special connecting elements between the chassis and the bogie.
  • the lifting of the entire locomotive may also be effected by the lifting device engaging particular areas of the bogie housing.
  • the arrangement shown therein comprises a bogie frame 1, wheel sets 2, axle bearing 3, and axle springs 4, which latter rest against the bogie frame 1.
  • the arrangement shown in the drawings further comprises axle forks (Achslenker) 5.
  • the bridge beam 7 with the locomotive assembly rests upon the bogie frame 1 by means of the cradle springs (Wiegefedern) 6.
  • the driving motors 8 are arranged in the bogie frame 1.
  • the axle forks 5 are movably hinged on brackets or cantilevers 9 on the bogie frame 1.
  • the hydraulic damping means 10 associated with every axle spring system are respectively flexibly connected with their ends in the axle box in a bearing 11 and on the bogie frame with a bearing 12.
  • Each bearing 11 carries an abutment 14 facing the bogie frame, which is opposed by an abutment 15 on the bogie frame, said pair of abutments being alined transversely of the bogie frame and closely spaced, so that movement of the axle relative to the bogie frame is limited when the wheels are lifted off the rails.
  • the hydraulic damping means 10 do not differ from heretofore known damping means as far as their outer appearance is concerned.
  • the cradles 13 on the bogie frame I serve for lifting of the entire locomotive.
  • a locomotive with bogies including wheel sets which comprises: a bogie frame; axle springs, said axle springs forming an axle spring system; axles supported relative to said bogie frame; hydraulic damping means each fastened in a vertical plane substantially in alignment above and coinciding with the respective axle located intermediate a pair of said axle springs parallel to each other on both sides of the respective axle, said hydraulic damping means at least in part collectively damping said axle spring system, first bearing means connecting each of said hydraulic damping means to the respective bogie frame; axle bearing arrangements; second bearing means connecting each of said hydraulic damping means to the respective axle bearing arrangement; transversely alined, opposed, spaced abutments on each said second bearing means and on said bogie frame adjacent said axle bearing arrangement; said hydraulic clamping means being of such a magnitude as to be able to serve during lifting of said locomotive to proportionately absorb entirely the weight of said wheel sets and the residual force of said axle springs when said wheels are lifted, while said opposed abutments limit movement of said axle transversely of said bogie frame
