Abstract

A bogie for rail cars comprises a traverse which has a portion at each side which extends forwardly and rearwardly and includes a central pin which is engaged in a support box of a half bogie. Each side of the traverse carries a pin which engages in the support box of an associated bogie and the bogie is capable of some vertical and horizontal rotation in respect to the pin. The traverse is supported on springs which extend between the overlying traverse and the underlying bogie at a longitudinally spaced location from the pin. Forward and rear wheel sets are supported in the associated bogies at respective ends thereof and they carry a driving motor therebetween having a planetary gearing which is connected to drive the associated wheels of each set. The bogies are advantageously interconnected by transversely extending tie rods arranged at spaced longitudinal locations in respect to the support pin. The traverse also provides a support for the housing of the rail car and it is provided with a spring at the location of the support and guider connection between the traverse and the car.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drehgestell für Schienenfahrzeuge, wie Straßenbahnen, mit im Querträger durch senkrechte Zapfen horizontal schwenkbar gelagerten und durch Spurstangen miteinander verbundenen Halbdrehgestellen (Pendelrahmen), in denen die Laufräder jeweils einer Radachse seitenunabhängig voneinander gelagert und angetrieben sind.The invention relates to a bogie for rail vehicles, such as trams, with horizontally pivotably mounted in the cross member by vertical pins and interconnected by tie rods half-bogies (pendulum frame), in which the wheels of each wheel axle are mounted and driven independently of each other.

Es ist bekannt, die Laufräder statt auf sie starr verbindenden Achsen, die bei Kurvenfahrt Quietschgeräusche verursachen, auf Halbachsen anzuordnen, die jeweils in Halbdrehgestellen gelagert sind, wo sie entweder einzeln oder seitenweise angetrieben werden. Dabei sind die Halbdrehgestelle im Querträger durch senkrechte Zapfen gehalten, die die Halbdrehgestelle gegen seitliches Kippen sichern, ihnen aber den notwendigen horizontalen Winkelaufschlag ermöglichen. Außerdem sind die Halbdrehgestelle beiderseits des Zapfens durch zwei Spurstangen auf Abstand gehalten (Zeitschrift: ETR (26) vom 7.8.1977, Seite 519, Bild 8).It is known to arrange the wheels instead of axially rigidly connecting them, which cause squeaking noises when cornering, on semi-axles, which are each mounted in half-bogies, where they are driven either individually or side by side. The half-bogies are held in the crossbeam by vertical pins, which secure the half-bogies against tipping to the side, but allow them the necessary horizontal angle. In addition, the half-bogies on both sides of the journal are kept at a distance by two tie rods (magazine: ETR (26) from 7/7/1977, page 519, picture 8).

Schwierigkeiten bestehen bei dieser Bauweise, wenn die Laufräder, wie meist gefordert wird, in den Halbdrehgestellen unter Zwischenschaltung von Federn gelagert werden sollen. Es besteht dann leicht die Gefahr, daß sich die Räder unter dem Einfluß quergerichteter, in der Höhe der Schienenoberkante angreifender Kräfte in den Halbdrehgestellen etwas schräg stellen und damit die Spurweite verändern, wodurch eine Entgieisungsgefahr gegeben ist. Man hat diese Gefahr durch eine zwangsweise Parallelführung der Achsbüchsen mit Hilfe zweier Führungshebel zu vermeiden versucht, die durch eine am Drehgestellrahmen gelagerte Querwelle verbunden sind. Es ist einzusehen, daß diese Hebel aufgrund der Größe der wirksamen Kräfte sehr stark ausgeführt sein müssen, wenn sie eine zufriedenstellende Wirkung erzielen sollen, wofür aber auch ein entsprechender Raum nötig ist, ganz abgesehen von der unerwünschten Gewichtserhöhung.Difficulties exist with this design if the wheels, as is usually required, are to be stored in the half bogies with the interposition of springs. There is then a slight risk that under the influence of transverse forces acting in the height of the upper edge of the rail, the wheels will tilt somewhat in the half-bogies and thus change the track width, thereby creating a risk of decanting. Attempts have been made to avoid this danger by forcing the axle bushes in parallel with the aid of two guide levers which are connected by a transverse shaft mounted on the bogie frame. It can be seen that these levers have to be very strong due to the size of the effective forces if they are to achieve a satisfactory effect, but for which a corresponding space is required, quite apart from the undesirable increase in weight.

Die Erfindung hat sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, die Nachteile solcher Halbdrehgestelle mit gefedert gelagerten Laufrädern unter Anwendung einfachster Mittel zu beseitigen und ein Drehgestell mit möglich geringen, nicht abgefederten Massen zu schaffen, das auch den Anforderungen des Leichtbaues genügt.The invention has set itself the task of eliminating the disadvantages of such semi-bogies with spring-loaded wheels using the simplest means and to create a bogie with possible small, unsprung masses, which also meets the requirements of lightweight construction.

Sie besteht darin, daß der Querträger über die Zapfen kreuzgelenkartig mit den Halbdrehgestellen verbunden ist, sich auf ihnen mittels beiderseits der Zapfen angeordneter Federelemente abstützt und die Antriebseinheiten ortsfest aufnimmt.It consists in the fact that the cross member is connected in a universal joint-like manner to the half-bogies via the pins, is supported on them by means of spring elements arranged on both sides of the pins, and receives the drive units in a stationary manner.

Die kreuzgelenkartige Halterung kann prinzipiell sowohl im Halbdrehgestell als auch im Querträger des Drehgestells angeordnet sein. Für die konstruktive Gestaltung ist es günstiger, wenn der senkrechte Zapfen fest im Querträger und das Kreuzgelenk im Halbdrehgestell angeordnet ist, und zwar derart, daß der Zapfen einen festen Teil des Querträgers bildet, unter Verdreh- und Verschiebemöglichkeit in eine lotrechte Büchse eingreift, die im Halbdrehgestell quer zur Fahrtrichtung gelenkig lagert.The universal joint-like holder can in principle be arranged both in the half bogie and in the cross member of the bogie. For the structural design, it is more advantageous if the vertical pin is fixed in the crossmember and the universal joint in the semi-bogie, in such a way that the pin forms a fixed part of the crossmember, with the possibility of twisting and moving, engages in a vertical bushing which Half bogie articulated across the direction of travel.

Zweckmäßig besteht das Halbdrehgestell aus Leichtmetall, um das Gewicht der nicht abgefederten Massen zu verringern.The half bogie is expediently made of light metal in order to reduce the weight of the unsprung masses.

Der Antrieb der Laufräder kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Bauweise, bei der auch die abgefederten Massen klein gehalten werden, besteht darin, daß am Querträger zwischen den Laufrädern jeder Radachse ein Motorgehäuse mit zwei voneinander unabhängigen Läufern angeordnet ist, die einzeln über ein stirnseitig angeflanschtes Planetengetriebe und eine Kardanwelle mit Längenausgieich sowie zwei Gelenkkupplungen ein Laufrad antreiben.The impellers can be driven in various ways. A particularly advantageous design, in which the sprung masses are kept small, is that a motor housing with two mutually independent runners is arranged on the cross member between the wheels of each wheel axle, which is individually connected via a planetary gear unit flanged on the end face and a cardan shaft with length compensation and two Articulated couplings drive an impeller.

Um an der Kardanwelle einen genügend großen Abstand der Gelenkkupplungen zu erhalten, der den Schwenkbewegunger, der Halbdrehgestelle Rechnung trägt, ist zweckmäßig die Welle der Laufräder als Hohlwelfe ausgebildet, wobei die Kardanwelie die Hohlwellen durchdringt und mit dieser durch eine auf der Drehgestellaußenseite gelegene Gelenkkupplung verbunden ist. Zur Abfederung von Stößen kann die Kardanwelle zusätzlich noch als Torsionswelle ausgebildet sein.In order to obtain a sufficiently large distance between the articulated couplings on the cardan shaft, which takes into account the swivel movement that takes account of the semi-bogies, the shaft of the impellers is expediently designed as a hollow shaft, the cardan shaft penetrating the hollow shafts and being connected to it by a joint coupling located on the outside of the bogie . To absorb shocks, the cardan shaft can also be designed as a torsion shaft.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorteilhaft das Lager der Läufräder lotrecht geteilt und im Teiiungsbere:ch mit einem Deckel verkleidet. Dadurch ist ein Ausbau der Räder möglich, ohne den Wagen abzuheben und die Drehgestelle auszubauen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the bearing of the impellers is advantageously divided vertically and covered with a cover in the area of division. This makes it possible to remove the wheels without lifting the car and removing the bogies.

Die Erfindung kann, soweit die Halterung der Halbdrehgestelle am Querträger betroffen ist, selbstverständlich auch bei nicht angetriebenen, sogenannten Laufdrehgestellen in Anwendung kommen.As far as the mounting of the half bogies on the cross member is concerned, the invention can of course also be used in non-driven, so-called bogies.

im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeipiels näher beschrieben. Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 ein Drehgestell in Seitenansicht und
  • Figur 2 eine teilweise im Schnitt dargestellte Draufsicht der Fig. 1 mit verschiedenen Motorausführungen.
The invention is described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawing. Show it
  • Figure 1 shows a bogie in side view
  • Figure 2 is a partially sectioned plan view of Fig. 1 with different engine designs.

Der Querträger 1 eines Drehgestells ist auf jeder Seite mit einem senkrecht nach unten verlaufenden Zapfen 2 versehen. Die Zapfen 2 greifen in je eine Büchse 3 ein, die in der Mitte der Halbdrehgestelle 4 quer zur Fahrtrichtung gelenkig gelagert sind. Dazu dienen je zwei Bolzen 5, die in den Gestellen stecken und seitlich in die Büchsen 3 eingreifen. Durch diese kardanische Halterung können die Halbdrehgestelle 4 neben einer horizontalen Schwenkbewegung um den Zapfen 2 mit einem Winkel α noch eine vertikale Kippbewegung um die Bolzen 5 mit einem Winkel ß ausführen. Damit die horizontale Schwenkbewegung, die beim Durchfahren von Kurven eintritt, bei beiden Halbdrehgestellen 4 gleich ist, sind diese durch zwei Spurstangen 7 miteinander verbunden.The cross member 1 of a bogie is provided on each side with a pin 2 running vertically downwards. The pins 2 engage in a sleeve 3, which are articulated in the middle of the half bogies 4 transversely to the direction of travel. Two bolts 5 are used for this purpose, which are inserted in the frames and engage laterally in the bushes 3. Through this gimbal bracket, the semi-bogies 4 can perform a horizontal pivoting movement about the pin 2 with an angle α and a vertical tilting movement about the bolts 5 with an angle β. So that the horizontal swivel movement that occurs when driving through curves occurs, is the same in both half bogies 4, these are connected by two tie rods 7.

Zwischen dem Querträger 1 und den Halbdrehgestellen 4 sind in Fahrtrichtung beiderseits des Zapfens 2 Schraubenfedern 8 angeordnet, welche die beim Überfahren von Gleisunebenheiten auftretenden Kippbewegungen abfedern. Durch diese Anordnung wird die früher übliche Einzelfederung der Laufräder 9 ersetzt, so daß diese nunmehr fest in den Halbdrehgestellen 4 gelagert werden können.Between the cross member 1 and the half bogies 4 2 coil springs 8 are arranged in the direction of travel on both sides of the pin, which cushion the tilting movements occurring when driving over uneven tracks. With this arrangement, the previously customary individual suspension of the wheels 9 is replaced, so that they can now be firmly stored in the semi-bogies 4.

Die Radlager sind vertikal geteilt, damit die Laufräder 9 ausgebaut werden können, ohne den Wagen anheben zu müssen. Der Teilungsbereich ist mit einem Deckel 21 abgedeckt.The wheel bearings are divided vertically so that the wheels 9 can be removed without having to lift the car. The division area is covered with a cover 21.

Auf dem Querträger 1 ist der Wagenkasten 10 beiderseits durch je eine weitere Feder 11 (Sekundärfeder), die auch eine Luft- oder Hydraulikfeder sein kann, abgestützt. Seitliche Lenker 12 dienen dazu, den Wagenkasten 10 gegenüber den Antriebs- und Bremskräften am Querträger 1 zu halten.On the cross member 1, the body 10 is supported on both sides by a further spring 11 (secondary spring), which can also be an air or hydraulic spring. Lateral links 12 serve to hold the car body 10 against the driving and braking forces on the cross member 1.

Am Querträger 1 ist, in der Mittellinie der Laufräder 9 gelegen; je ein Motorgehäuse 13 angeordnet, die zusammen mit den in ihnen befindlichen, voneinander unabhängigen zwei Läufern 14- und 14a und je einem stirnseitig angeflanschten Planetengetriebe 15 je eine Antriebseinheit 6 bilden. Kardanwellen 16, die von den Planetengetrieben 15 ausgehen und Längenausgleich besitzen, treiben über zwischengeschaltete Gelenkkupplungen 17 und 18 die Laufräder 9 an. Um einen möglichst großen Gelenkabstand zum Ausgleich der Ausschläge der Halbdrehgestelle 4 an der Kardanwelle 16 zu erhalten, sind die Wellen der Laufräder 9 als Hohlwellen 19 ausgebildet, wobei die Kardanwelle 16 die Hohlwelle 19 durchdringt und mit dieser durch die auf der Drehgestellaußenseite gelegene Gelenkkupplung 18 verbunden ist. Die Kardanwelle 16 ist als Torsionswelle ausgebildet. Auf der rechten Seite der Fig. 2 sind die Motorläufer 14 und 14a beidseitig und fettgeschmiert gelagert, auf der linken Seite dagegen sind sie fliegend auf der Antriebswelle 20 des Planetengetriebes 15 angeordnet. Die letztgenannte Bauweise hat den Vorteil, daß die Läuferwelle in ölgeschmierten Lagern gelagert werden und daher höhere Drehzahlen als bei der üblichen Lagerung in fettgeschmierten Lagern erreichen kann.On the cross member 1 is located in the center line of the wheels 9; A motor housing 13 is arranged in each case, which together with the two rotors 14 and 14 a located therein, which are independent of one another and each with a planetary gear 15 flanged on the end face, form a drive unit 6. Cardan shafts 16, which start from the planetary gears 15 and have length compensation, drive the impellers 9 via interposed articulated couplings 17 and 18. In order to obtain the greatest possible joint spacing to compensate for the deflections of the semi-bogies 4 on the propeller shaft 16, the shafts of the impellers 9 are designed as hollow shafts 19, the cardan shaft 16 penetrating the hollow shaft 19 and being connected to it by the articulated coupling 18 located on the outside of the bogie is. The cardan shaft 16 is designed as a torsion shaft. On the right side of FIG. 2, the motor rotors 14 and 14a are supported on both sides and grease-lubricated, whereas on the left side they are overhung on the drive shaft 20 of the planetary gear 15. The latter construction has the advantage that the rotor shaft is stored in oil-lubricated bearings and can therefore reach higher speeds than with the usual bearing in grease-lubricated bearings.
