Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to rail wagons and particularly but not exclusively to operational assemblies mountable on such wagons.
  • Rail wagons such as articulated railway freight trains, trucks and wagons which utilise containers for carriage of bulk materials (such as mineral ores, grains and the like), typically include operational assemblies (such as braking assemblies or other apparatus) mounted on the wagons. These operational assemblies require regular maintenance, servicing and/or replacement. In the past the servicing of these operational assemblies can be difficult and time consuming often because of the complexity of the assembly and the difficulties in accessing the components of that assembly.
  • operational assemblies such as braking assemblies or other apparatus
  • Some embodiments provide a rail wagon including a subassembly, and an operational assembly having interconnected components.
  • the operational assembly is mounted on the subassembly.
  • the operational assembly can be at least one of mounted by mounting the subassembly and removed by releasing the subassembly.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of one example of a bulk material railway wagon
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view the wagon of Fig. 1 when viewed along line section line B-B;
  • Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the wagon of Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of one example of a releasable rail wagon subassembly for mounting an operational assembly
  • Fig. 5 shows the subassembly of Fig. 4 having mounted thereto components of a rail wagon braking system
  • Fig. 6 shows the subassembly of Fig. 5 fastened to the underside of a rail wagon such as that of Figs. 1 to 3.
  • This disclosure is directed generally to railway wagons and while the disclosure is described generally in the context of freight wagons for the carrying of bulk material, it is not limited to such use, and may be used in rail wagons for other applications such as passenger rail cars.
  • Articulated railway freight trains and trucks which utilise containers for carriage of bulk materials (such as mineral ores, grains and the like) are known.
  • the bulk materials container can be seated on an elongate wagon underframe which itself is connected to two bogies located near either end of the wagon underframe.
  • the bogies include wheel sets and a bogie bolster to which the wagon underframe is mounted via an articulated connection or centreplate device.
  • the articulated connection is provided by mating a male member of the underframe and a female component of the bogie bolster.
  • the underframe includes a central longitudinally extending support member commonly referred to as a centre sill on which the centreplate device is attached.
  • the underframe may also include side members that extend laterally from the centre sill. These side members may include bolsters and intermediate supporting structures, known as transoms, extend outwardly from the centre sill and are typically disposed between the bolsters. With this configuration the wagon container is supported on the underframe with the loading being typically distributed across the bolsters and the transoms.
  • An embodiment provides a rail wagon including a subassembly, and an operational assembly having interconnected components.
  • the operational assembly is mounted on the subassembly.
  • the operational assembly can be at least one of mounted by mounting the subassembly and removed by releasing the subassembly.
  • the wagon may be for bulk material transport.

  • the subassembly may be mounted to the wagon underframe.
  • the underframe may comprise a sill and a plurality of side members extending from the sill.
  • the subassembly may be arranged to be located between adjacent side members.
  • the subassembly may be arranged to be secured to at least one of the adjacent side members.
  • Another embodiment provides a releasable rail wagon subassembly for mounting an operational assembly having interconnected components, whereby the operational assembly can be at least one of mounted by mounting the subassembly and removed by releasing the subassembly.

  • the underframe 3 is connected to two bogies 4 located near respective ends 5, 6 of the wagon underframe 3.
  • the underframe includes a centre sill 7 and the bogies 4 including wheel sets 8 interconnected by side frames 9 and a bolster 10 which extends from, and is mounted to, the centre sill 7 via a centreplate 11 (Fig. 3). Couplers 17 are mounted to the centre sill 7 at opposite ends of the wagon 1 to allow for interconnection of wagons and/or connection of the wagon to a locomotive.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the wagon of Fig. 1 when viewed along line section line B-B.

  • the posts support various side wall panel sheets (given general reference 18) which form the exterior skin or surface of the outside of the container 2.
  • panel sheets 18 may be formed from single sheets or may be formed by multiple sheets that are interconnected (say by welding such as a continuous fillet weld) .
  • the resulting side walls 13 may present a substantially smooth surface or skin when viewed from outside the container 2.
  • the sheets which make up the end walls 13 may be joined to the side panels 18 by a continuous fillet weld on at least one side of the T-junction of the two sheets.
  • One or more stiffening member 19 may be incorporated in the side wall panels
  • the stiffener may extend into the interior of the container 2 as shown in the illustrated form.
  • the side walls do not need to be planar, but can be curved or formed into other suitable geometric shapes, depending on the application and the desired shape of the container side wall.
  • the stiffening member 19 can be in the form of an angle made up of two or more mutually inclined surfaces which can be of other shapes (for example convex or concave panels) and at other angles of relative disposition.
  • the stiffening member can be semicircular in cross-section and smoothly curved throughout.
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the wagon of Fig. 1.
  • the underframe 3 also includes multiple transoms, indicated by numerals 20, 22 and 24, which extend outwardly from the centre sill 7 and in the illustrated form are disposed between the bolsters 10.

  • the subassembly is for mounting an operational assembly having interconnected components. When the subassembly is in place the operational assembly may be mounted in place by mounting of the operational assembly to the wagon and/or is removed by releasing the subassembly.
  • Fig. 5 shows the subassembly of Fig. 4 having fastened thereto a plurality of interconnected components of a rail wagon pneumatic braking system.
  • the attached components include an auxiliary emergency reservoir 112, a control valve 114, a dummy cylinder 115, and control electronics module 116. It will be appreciated, however, that other operational assemblies and systems may be supported.
