Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rail vehicle for operation on conventional railway tracks running below, with a hull comprising a plurality of successively arranged, essentially rigid hull segments, each of which is supported on the track by at least one pair of wheels and which have segment connections at their ends facing one another Couple adjacent fuselage segments in an articulated and detachable manner, continue the outer contour of the fuselage segments between them, and form a distance compensation when driving on bends, crests and depressions.
  • the gap required for swiveling movements of the vehicle members against one another is closed at the top and side mostly in the form of a tunnel with a flexible rubber bellows construction. This is usually designed so that it influences as little as possible the relative movements of the adjacent wagon units connected by it.
  • a rail vehicle is known from German published patent application DE 4 213 948 A1, in which a rigid intermediate piece is additionally provided between two Jakobs-type segments resting on a common bogie, one segment on the intermediate piece about a vertical axis and the other Segment is rotatably mounted on the intermediate piece about a horizontal axis lying transversely to the longitudinal direction of the segments.
  • This arrangement is intended, inter alia, to improve the transmission of longitudinal compressive forces in the wagon assembly and to prevent the segments from sliding into one another in the event of an impact.
  • the published patent application DE 196 17 978 A1 discloses a rail vehicle for local public transport, the carriages of which have a chassis with four wheels arranged centrally below in their longitudinal extent.
  • the connection between adjacent car bodies is free-floating with the help of a hinge, which is formed by two flat turntables.
  • the power flow between adjacent cars is thus concentrated on a narrow section in the lower vehicle area, as in the aforementioned solutions. This requires a correspondingly robust structure of the car bodies in this area.
  • a carriage transfer device for a track-guided high-speed vehicle in which multi-part, inflatable hollow chamber profiles with stiffness that can be automatically adjusted via the internal pressure are provided. This is intended to ensure that the connection area is clad in an aerodynamically advantageous, dirt-tight and effectively noise-insulating manner in all driving conditions.
  • the variable cladding of the transition area merely represents a measure which is at most of secondary importance for the connection of adjacent wagon units. The concept of connecting long wagon units via concentrated coupling elements is not abandoned here either.
  • the design principle described cannot prevent the buckling stiffness of the tensile structure from being significantly undersized in the event of an accident in the event of overstress in the longitudinal direction of the train due to impacts or the like. Since the carriages are made much stiffer in the floor area than in the area above them, they often buckle from the roof in the event of accidental impact loads. On the other hand, the train set can buckle upwards or sideways.
  • the fuselage segments in the longitudinal direction of the track have a constant hollow cross-section and a rigid overall length, in which in the area of track arches with a radius down to 150 m each fuselage segment with its transverse extension over the Track protrudes on both sides by a length that is essentially constant along the vehicle, and that the segment connections have coupling elements that extend for the essentially exclusive transfer of the force flow between the fuselage segments on their front sides along their outer contour and / or on the front sides the fuselage segments are arranged homogeneously distributed in the circumferential direction.
  • the invention includes the basic technical teaching, on the one hand to achieve a reduction in the force flows from the load to the wheel contact point and thus a reduction in the effective bending moments by reducing the spans.
  • the correspondingly lower load allows a lighter construction of the fuselage segments including their undercarriages, which makes the vehicle considerably lighter.
  • Both the reduction in the span as well as the lighter construction of the rail vehicle according to the invention result in a reduction in the wheel contact forces and the guidance forces which occur, for example, in track arches.
  • the transfer of the longitudinal force flow between the fuselage segments is distributed over the entire circumference of the hollow cross section formed by its wall.
  • the segment connections therefore not only take on the function of distance compensation between the fuselage segments, but additionally at least part of the articulated function which, in the prior art, is distributed to undercarriages and the pulling and pushing devices.
  • This integration of functions eliminates such mass elements as the pulling and pushing device.
  • the uniform distribution of the longitudinal force flow over the entire cross-section avoids the particularly stiff design of sections with concentrated force transfer necessary in the prior art. This will result in further relief gains.
  • the fuselage segments By reducing the longitudinal extent of the fuselage segments according to the invention to such an extent that their lateral projection beyond the track is essentially constant even in bends with a radius down to 150 m along the rail vehicle, an improved use of the standard light space of the track, which is predetermined by building regulations, is made possible.
  • the fuselage segments can be built with a larger transverse extension than the conventional construction methods allow. This increases the usable space available in the rail vehicle.
  • the shell of the fuselage segments is essentially closed in the circumferential direction, so that the rail vehicle assumes the shape of an articulated tube.
  • the longitudinal force is transmitted in a particularly homogeneous manner and the vehicle is given an aerodynamically favorable shape.
  • the aerodynamic advantages are enhanced by a design of the outer surface without significant steps or steps.
  • each fuselage segment has a supporting frame arranged within its shell and supported by the pair of wheels, which extends essentially parallel to the rail surface over the length and width of the fuselage segment and which carries at least a substantial part of the load of the shell.
  • This measure essentially frees the jacket from the function of supporting vertical loads. This allows a light, self-supporting construction of the jacket.
  • the load of the jacket, the internals and aggregates and, last but not least, the payload (people or goods) are transferred to the chassis via the support frame in particularly short distances.
  • a direct connection of the undercarriage to the supporting frame is particularly advantageous.
  • the support frame can serve as an interior floor of the vehicle by design as a plate or with a corresponding surface.
  • a separate inner floor arranged above it is provided, which is mounted on the support frame via the damping step.
  • the adjoining support frames of adjacent fuselage segments are preferably elastically connected to one another in the region of the segment connections with the required play, for example with the aid of plates containing elastomer, their mobility relative to one another not being restricted, but nevertheless being closed to the track and extending over the entire length of the Vehicle-extending interior is defined.
  • the jacket is preferably attached to the support frame near its transverse sides. The attachment does not allow any significant relative movement of the segment jacket and the support frame.
  • the connecting straight line lies between the center points of the wheels of a wheel pair in a cross-sectional plane of the associated fuselage segment.
  • the running gear is released from the function of ensuring the articulation of the rail vehicle. Rather, the wheel pair always aligns itself according to the current orientation of the associated fuselage segment to the track, that is, in track arches, for example, always in a substantially radial direction. This is preferably achieved by the above-mentioned direct attachment of the undercarriage to the support frame. Intermediate frames, such as a bogie frame or other undercarriage frame, which are necessary in the prior art are eliminated, which leads to an additional lightening of the vehicle. In this preferred embodiment, the joint properties are completely transferred to the segment connections. Elaborate bogie bogies are not required for tracking.
  • the pair of wheels can be designed with individually guided wheels or, in a particularly simple manner, as a wheel set. In the latter case, the axis of the wheelset coincides with the straight line connecting the wheel centers.

  • a pair of wheels is preferably provided under each fuselage segment and, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is arranged centrally below the supporting frame.
  • the arrangement of only one pair of wheels avoids the disadvantage that occurs in multi-axle carriages and bogies that when driving through a track curve the flange of the outer wheel in the radial direction has to run sideways against the rail in order to be pressed into the track curvature. This wear moment, however, does not occur with a single pair of wheels arranged centrally below the fuselage segment, which is always radially aligned.
  • the pair of wheels or undercarriage is arranged in the region of a longitudinal end of the associated (first) support frame in such a way that the (second) support frame of the fuselage segment adjacent there can also be supported thereon.
  • the second support frame protrudes a little in the longitudinal direction from its fuselage segment and is detachably fastened to the undercarriage so that the separability of the fuselage segments is not impaired.

  • the connection between the jacket and the support plate can be released in this section.
  • a temporary connection mechanism between the jacket and the chassis is provided in the supporting frame.
  • the advantage of a separability of the joint and chassis section from the associated fuselage segment is that an easily replaceable module is formed with all essential, maintenance-intensive chassis and joint elements. So far, it has been necessary to take an entire car out of operation for the maintenance of such an element.
  • the joint and chassis section can be quickly uncoupled from a train set and replaced by another for maintenance. The maintenance work is then carried out exclusively on this module, while the low-maintenance sections of the fuselage segments can continue to be operated.
