Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the mechanical connection of vehicles, in particular tram cars, wherein the vehicles are connected as a lower articulated connection via a Ge ⁇ steering rod.
- Some rail networks especially for trams, have crests and hollows that require increased ground clearance of the vehicles.
- Low-floor vehicles can not be used on such rail networks.
- low-floor vehicles are useful because the entry and exit is easier.
- the pitch angle is called. It has already been proposed to halve this pitch angle by a suitable connection of the two vehicles.
- a Lemniskatenscher known as such has been used. This is rotatably mounted on a portal frame, which is firmly connected to the lower link rod. Two coupling rods emanating from the Lemniskaten handlebar are hinged to each one of the adjacent bodies of the connected vehicles. With the Lemniskatenlenkera- UTHORISATION the pitch angle is divided into two halves, where ⁇ occurs in the first part angle between the first vehicle and the portal frame and the second part angle between the portal ⁇ frame and the second vehicle.
- the invention has for its object to provide a simplified device for the mechanical connection of vehicles that is cheaper to manufacture with the same good halving the pitch angle and also has a lower weight than a Lemniskatenscheran Aunt. With egg- ner advantageous development should also be reduced disturbing effects of a track cant.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that two hinged wings are arranged to pivot about vertical axes as a separate upper hinge joint on each of the vehicles and that in the direction of travel of the right wing of the first vehicle with the right wing of the second Fahrzeu ⁇ ges and the left wing of the joint first vehicle with the left hinge wing of the second vehicle via non till ⁇ supported bearings are rotatably connected, so that the four hinged wings together a variable parallelogram bil ⁇ the.
- the vertical axes of the joint wings are almost perpendicular to the joints of the lower link rod.
- the arrangement in the form of a parallelogram causes the opening angle of the joint wing pairs of the two vehicles are always the same size.
- the non-supported bearings are always located in the middle of the vehicles when viewed in the direction of travel.
- the pitch angle between the two vehicles is split in half, specifically to the two connections of the lower connecting rod to the connected vehicles.
- the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for connecting cars of a tram train suitable, they but can also be used with any other train and even with a articulated bus.
- the two joint wings of a vehicle are arranged pivotably about a common vertical axis.
- the hinge wings of a driving tool ⁇ each about its own vertical axis are pivotally mounted on ⁇ sorted.
- the joint wings can z. B. be designed as flat components.
- At least the articulated wings of a vehicle instead of flat components each consist of an upper rod and a lower rod, which are arranged pivotably about the vertical axis.
- less material is required, which further adorns the weight redu ⁇ .
- the upper bar and the lower bar are connected to the vertical axis via ball joints, and the upper bar and the lower bar are connected to each other via a hinge joint which communicates with the vertical unsupported bearing.
- twisting is meant that at an elevation of the track, z. B. in a curve, the front driving ⁇ tool initially rotated relative to the rear vehicle about its longitudinal axis. This movement is accommodated by the Ball Joint ⁇ ke and the hinges so that there will be no mechanical stress or even bending of components.
- Verwin ⁇ the vehicles can be compensated for each other in a simple manner.
- the ball joints rubber buffer, hydraulic cylinders or mechanical springs can be assigned.
- the advantage is achieved that in comparison to a Lemniskatenlen- keranssen a portal frame is not necessary. Nevertheless, it is possible to halve the pitch angle.
- the twisting of the vehicles against each other to compensate.
- hinged wings can be advantageously connected cables that must be routed from one vehicle to another.
- Figure 1 shows schematically two interconnected vehicles in side view.
- Figure 2 shows schematically the same two interconnected vehicles as Figure 1, but in plan view.
- Figure 3 shows a variant of the embodiment of Figure 2, wherein only the differing part is shown.
- Figure 4 shows a variant of the embodiment of Figure 1, wherein only the differing part is shown.
- two vehicles 1 and 2 which are shown only partially, are connected at the bottom via a connecting rod 3 serving as a lower articulated connection, which permits pitching and twisting of the vehicles 1 and 2.
- the pitch is a rotational movement of the vehicles 1 and 2 about an imaginary horizontal axis oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel a and occurs when the interconnected vehicles 1 and 2 pass through a dome or a trough. Instead of perpendicular to the drawing plane extending axis is attributable to the pitch rotational movement of the vehicle 1 by a pitch angle ß shown.
- the twisting is a rotational movement of the vehicles 1 and 2 about an imaginary horizontal, aligned in the direction of travel axis b and occurs, for. B. on when the interconnected vehicles 1 and 2 successively an excessive track curve he ⁇ rich.
- any occurring pitch angle ⁇ between the vehicles 1 and 2 becomes uniform distributed on the two joints of the articulated rod 3, so that no for a low-floor vehicle too large pitch angle ß occurs.
- each of the articulated wings 4c and 4d is pivotably arranged about its own vertical axis 5c and 5d.
- the upper bar 7 and the lower bar 8 are connected to each other before the vertical, unsupported bearing 6 a and 6 b via a hinge joint 10. The combination of ball joints 9 and hinge joints 10 twisting the vehicles 1 and 2, z. B. in an excessive track curve, compensated.
