Definitions
- Coupling device for railway wagons Coupling device for railway wagons.
- the present invention relates to a coupling device for railway wagons, comprising a drawbar, the two ends of which are connected by ball joint to the chassis of two successive wagons.
- Such coupling devices are used to couple several "permanently" wagons, that is to say without the possibility of instantaneous uncoupling, in the form of a so-called “coupon” train.
- This is a rail transport mode which can be used for example for the transport of motor vehicles, for example trucks, tractors, trailers, but also other goods, transport by "coupons” allowing in particular to benefit from preferential rates.
- the present invention relates to a coupling device for railway wagons which, while being simple and reliable in structure, benefits from a damping effect and an elastic return effect.
- the drawbar On the coupling device according to the invention for railway wagons, comprising a drawbar, the two of which ends are connected in a ball joint to the chassis of two successive wagons, the drawbar comprises, at each end, a nut serving as a bowl for the ball joint of a draw rod extending the drawbar and passing through a damping device which is mounted in the chassis of a wagon and comprises, on the side of the drawbar, a first thrust plate bearing against said nut, so that any misalignment of the draw rod relative to the drawbar , by means of the nut, compression of the damping device and, in return, an elastic return effect in the direction of a realignment of the draw rod with the drawbar.
- said nut is an element attached to the drawbar.
- the nut which, in contact with the ball of the draw rod, transmits the traction forces of this rod to the drawbar while allowing the orientation of the ball draw rod relative to the bar can be made from a material more resistant, in particular to wear, than the drawbar which only transmits tensile and compressive forces.
- said nut can be removably fixed to the drawbar, for example by a dowel or a similar removable fixing device.
- the nut is flared towards the first push plate which is associated with it.
- the nut can advantageously be chamfered or curved at its end turned towards said plate.
- the damping device may also include a second push plate on the side remote from the drawbar.
- the chassis of the wagon can then comprise, to receive the damping device, a housing comprising two opposite axial stops, one for the support of the first thrust plate when the coupling device is stressed in traction and the other for the support of the second push plate when the device is urged to push.
- the nature of the damping device depends on the effect damping and elastic return effect sought. It has been found that, for the coupling device which is the subject of the invention, the damping device can advantageously comprise a stack of damping elements compressed between the two thrust plates.
- These elastic damping elements can, for example, comprise metal plates bearing on one face at least protuberances made of elastic material, for example rubber, preferably protuberances with converging oblique sides.
- the first push plate in contact with the nut comprises means for guiding it on the pull rod, preventing this plate from assuming an oblique position relative to the pull rod when it is biased unilaterally by the nut in misalignment of the draw rod and the drawbar.
- FIG. 1 is a top view, partially in section, of a coupling device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a side view, partially in section, of the device of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the device according to Figure 1, in the position of maximum horizontal misalignment
- FIG. 4 shows the device according to Figure 2, in the position of maximum vertical misalignment.
- the coupling device as illustrated intended for the coupling of two railway wagons of which only a part of the chassis 1 is visible in the figures, comprises a drawbar 2 made up, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, by a tubular body 3 at each end of which is fixed a nut 4 in the form of a sleeve.
- One end of the nut 4 is fitted onto the end of the bar body 3 and is made integral with the latter by a transverse pin 5 locked in position, for example using several screws 6 and screw brakes.
- the nut 4 is flared and is chamfered or curved or chamfered (at 7) on its end face. In the direction of this end, the nut 4 has internally an annular bearing surface 8 in the form of spherical segment.
- the bearing surface 8 of the nut 4 serves as a bowl for the spherical head or ball joint 9 of a pull rod 10 which extends in the extension of the bar 2 through a damping device 1 1 mounted in a housing 12 of the chassis 1.
- the damping device 1 1 comprises a first thrust plate 13 and a second thrust plate 14 between which there is a stack of damping elements 15.
- the damping elements 15 are constituted by metal plates bearing on one side or on both sides of the rubber protuberances, the oblique sides of which converge.
- damping elements are well known in the art for the construction of damping devices used, for example, for buffers in the railway field.
- the damping device 1 1 comprising the thrust plates 13, 14 and the damping elements 15 is kept assembled, the plate 14 being pressed against the end surface 7 of the nut 4, by a nut 16 screwed and immobilized, for example by a pin on the free end of the pull rod 10 so that the damping elements 15 are compressed and the two plates 13 and 14 bear against two axial stops 17 and 18 of the housing 12.
- the push plate 13 has, on the side facing the push plate 14, a cylindrical end piece 19 ensuring its guidance on the pull rod 10, that is to say preventing the plate 13 from put sideways when it is biased obliquely by the nut 4, in the event of misalignment, as described in more detail below.
- the tensile forces between the two wagons coupled using the coupling device according to the invention are transmitted, on a wagon, from the stop 17 by the thrust plate 13, the damping elements 15, the plate thrust 14, the nut 16, the draw rod 10, the ball joint 9, the nut 4 and the pin 5 to the body 3 of the drawbar 2 and, on the other wagon of the body 3, in the opposite direction by the same elements, at the stop 17.
- the ratio of the energy destroyed by the energy returned in the form of elastic return energy is variable depending on the nature of the elements of the accumulator devices, but in all cases, the energy returned in the form of energy elastic return contributes to keeping the wagons in line.
- the removable connection between the nuts 4 and the tubular body 3 of the drawbar 2 could be replaced by a non-removable connection, for example a welded connection made to the assembly of the device, after fitting the ball joints 9 of the draw rods 10 between the body 3 of the drawbar 2 and the nuts 4.
