Abstract
Railroad cars, e.g. in electrically driven local trains, are normally provided with a double axle bogie at each end, whereby the car ends will be pronounced projecting from their associated carrier engagements with the bogies. Several acknowledged drawbacks are encountered hereby, e.g. the car ends being subjected to lateral impacts when driving between straight and curved track portions. With the invention a smooth driving is obtained by the car bogie at each end of the car being made as a single axle bogie (10,16,18) comprising a bearing block (6), which is mounted immediately at the car end and provided with rearwardly and outwardly projecting bogie arms (16, 18) carrying the driving wheels (24) and being both vertically and laterally pivotable about the bearing block (6) against the action of spring means (28) interposed direct between the car bottom (2) and a free end of each bogie arm (18). The bearing block (6) may carry a forwardly exposed automatic coupling part (40), which will always assume an optimal position, because its longitudinal direction will coincide with the tangential direction of the rail track.
Description
- The present invention relates to a bogie supported railroad car, notably for use in electrically driven trains for local traffic. Usually such cars are carried resiliently on two fourwheel bogies located near the respective opposite ends of the car in such a manner that the car may pivot about a vertical middle axis of the bogie as well as about a horizontal, transverse middle axis of the bogie and to a certain extent also about a longitudinal middle axis thereof, whereby a certain mutual movability between the bogie and the car is required. The use of such bogies involves various constructional and operational conditions, of which some may be designated drawbacks so far as they are found to be improvable.
- The invention has the primary object of providing a bogie supported car having a bogie system, which is improved in several respects.
- The car according to the invention is supported, immediately at each end thereof, on a central front block, which is rotable about a vertical axis and constitutes a bearing block for a pair of rearwardly and outwardly projecting wheel carrier arms, which are pivotable about a horizontal transverse axis and are each provided with a shaft bearing for an associated driving wheel and being in carrier connection with the respective car end bottom through a compression spring member. Thus the bogie will be a two-wheeled bogie, which despite its firm carrier connection with the car end through the said front block may nevertheless support the car in a resilient manner, just as the required degrees of freedom with respect to the mutual movability between the car and the bogie or rather the driving wheels thereof will be secured.
- This basic concept, in which the said front block plays the role of a universal joint, offers several advantages compared with conventional bogies:
- 1) The unbiased mass of the bogie is essentially reduceable, whereby a calm driving is achievable,
- 2) The total weight of the bogies will be reduced, resulting in a car of reduced weight.
- 3) The mounting of the carrying block immediately adjacent the car end involves that the car end will always be located just above the driving rails, whereby the car will always, on a curved driving track, form a chord or tangent to the curved track, without the car ends projecting laterally outside the curved rails. Such a projection occurs with the use of conventional bogies, where the pivot connection between the bogie and the car is bound to be located somewhat inside or behind the end of the car, such that also the two foremost wheels can be located behind the car end for enabling two cars to be coupled together. The specified mounting of the front block according to the invention has a significant advantage in conditioning a smooth driving in the transitions between straight and curved rail portions, because the intercoupled car ends will follow the rail track without being laterally displaced therefrom; conventionally the front end of a straight running car may be subjected to strong lateral impacts when its preceding car enters a curve, and the rear end of the preceding car is influenced by a corresponding reaction effect.
- 4) For the coupling together of the cars it is greatly advantageous that the car ends per definition will be located just above the rail track, as there will be no problem, then, with respect to the joining of a car on a straight rail portion with a laterally displaced end of an adjacent car on a curved rail portion.
In that connection the invention provides for a further advantageous possibility, viz. that an automatic coupling unit, well known per se, for the joining of the cars may be mounted in direct association with the said front block, whereby the coupling unit will not only be located generally at the middle of the car end , but also turned in accordance with a possible curvature of the rail track. - 5) Also the coupling unit of an adjacent car will be correspondingly turned, when the cars stand on an entirely or partly curved track, whereby the units will be immediately interengageable, without notice having to be taken of possible variations of the lateral positions relative the track.
When the areas of support between the bogies and the car are located closer to the car ends it may be natural to consider a reduction of the length of the cars. Conventionally a passenger car has a length of about 20 m, and in connection with the invention it has been found suitable to reduce the length to some 15-16 m, corresponding approximately to the distance between the carrier areas of conventional bogies. In a preferred design of a car according to the invention (not disclosed here in more detail) the cars are made without special driver's compartments at the ends, as the car ends are only provided with connector means of small space requirements for a mobile control desk, such that all car ends but only the foremost one will be usable for accommodating passengers. Hereby the passenger capacity of the cars may be unchanged even for a reduced car length. - 6) The invention even provides for an associated possibility of increasing the width of the cars and thereby further compensating for the space narrowing by the said length reduction of the cars. An increased width is made possible because the cars may extend as pure chords along curved track portions, whereby the platforms of the railway stations may be designed without the otherwise required free space for the car ends to be noticeably laterally displaced from the rail track along curved tracks. Also, the middle portions of the cars should extend tangentially to a curved platform edge without the car ends being located inconveniently spaced from that edge. Thus, shortened cars of increased width will be usable in connection with already existing platform constructions.
- 7) Irrespective of an optionally increased car width the reduced length of the cars will involve a reduced axle load.
Preferably the said automatic coupling unit is made as a coupling block, which is connected with the said carrier front block in a pivotal manner so as to be limited freely rotatable about a longitudinal horizontal axis. - 8) Hereby the coupling will be directly usable also in situations where two cars to be coupled assume mutually different lateral inclinations, this so far having required flexible designs of the coupling parts themselves.
- The resilient means for carrying the car end on the rearwardly projection bogie arms may, according to the invention, be constituted by simple air cushion springs with associated shock absorbers, and by releaving the springs the weight of the car may operate a hydraulic cylinder serving as an actuator for the wheel brakes, whereby separate oil pumps for the brake system are made superfluous. The air cushion springs may be designed as lateral stabi lizers, which will well allow for controlled relative turning of the bogie, but also make the bogie self-centering and prevent oscillations thereof.
- The two bogie arms may be interconnected through a torsion bar, whereby the car may carry out resilient lateral tiltings with good bed support.
- For use in connection with the bogie system of the invention has been developed a new driving system comprising a water cooled electric motor, which is tightened directly to the car bottom with a noise reducing intermediate layer in a position on the opposite side of the two driving wheels relative the front block. The motor is drivingly connected with the wheels through a flexible shaft driving on a wheel differential, the use of such a differential having been found to imply a surprisingly high reduction of the wear of the wheels. The use of a water cooled motor is highly advantageous i.a. in that the car may be designed without the otherwise conventional, heavily dimensioned ventilation channels for supply of cooling air from above.
- It is preferred to generally construct the car according to the invention with a relatively small weight, and to this end the car is preferably provided with a simple emergency current generator driven by a small diesel or petrol motor, this being an installation which is much lighter than the accumulator batteries traditionally used for this purpose.
- In the following the invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which:-
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of a car according to the invention, and
- Fig. 2 is a side view of two intercoupled cars
- The car end as shown in a detailed manner in Fig. 1 has a car floor 2, which at the extreme car end has a vertical
pivot pin connection 4 with an underlyingbearing block 6 having a forwardlyopen hole 8 and an underlying receiver hole for atransverse pin 10. At its lower end thebearing block 6 is supported by avertical pivot pin 12 received in acarrier bracket 14 depending from a rigid connection with the car floor or bottom 2. - The
transverse pin 10, which is a torsion bar, is on each side of theblock 6 connected with a rearwardly and outwardly projectingbogie arm 16 continuing rearwardly in astraight portion 18 having frontwise alower bearing 20 for adriving wheel shaft 22 with associateddriving wheels 24 and rearwise having anupper support surface 26 for anair cushion spring 28 arranged between this surface and the car bottom 2. Theair spring 28 is shaped as a short or low cylindrical member, the opposite plane sides of which are secured to the respective adjoining surfaces, such that the spring member or members will be resilient not only in the vertical direction, but also in transverse horizontal direction, whereby a suitable damping of the lateral pivotability of thebogie arms pivot pins block 6 will be obtained. - Inside each of the air cushion springs is arranged a shock absorber 30.
- Between the rear ends of the
bogie arms connector beam 32 carrying at its middle portion ahydraulic pressure cylinder 34 having its top end located slightly underneath the car bottom 2, such that it will be loaded with the weight of the car when the air is let out from thespring members 28. Thecylinder 34 constitutes a hydraulic pressure source for the brake system of the car, this system comprising conventional disc brakes withdiscs 36 and associated, non-illustrated spring biased braking cylinders. The partial weight of the car resting on theactuator cylinder 34 will at any time be sufficient to actuate the wheel brakes whenever operated by the train pilot or by the pulling of an emergency brake lever, and a special pump for the brake system will thus be superfluous. The braking is terminated by pumping air into thespring members 28. - The forwardly
open hole 8 in theblock 6 is used for receiving ahorizontal carrier stub 38 on anautomatic coupling block 40 of an otherwise conventional design. Thus, in its mounted condition this block may rotate on or about thestub 38, though in a non-illustrated manner theblock 40 is spring biased towards a horizontal transverse position in its free condition, whereby the car is easy to couple together with a corresponding car, even if the cars are mutually laterally tilted. - It will be readily appreciated that the car end may carry out any required rotation in the horizontal plane relative the
bogie pins driving wheels 24, viz. by the vertical pivotability of the bogie about the transverse bar against (or assisted by) the action of thespring members 28. In a manner not shown thebearing block 6 is provided with various shock absorb ing means in its connections to the respective adjoining elements. - If the front wheels are driven wheels, as they will normally be, the
wheel shaft 22 is provided with amiddle differential 42, which is connected with a driving shaft. 44 of anelectric motor 46 incorporated in aliquid cooling box 48, which is provided with a flat top side, by which the motor box is mounted direct against the underside of the car floor 2, though through an intermediate layer of a shock and sound damping material. Theshaft 44 is of the flexible type, constructed e.g. in carbon fibre reinforced polyester, the shaft being connected with both thedifferential 42 and themotor 46 without the use of universal joints. Thus, theshaft 44 will establish a permanent driving connection during the occurring mutual movements between thedifferential 42 and the bottom anchoredmotor 46. - Through
thin pipes 50 themotor cooling housing 48 is connected with an upper heat exchanger system (not shown), which comprises means for heat exchanging with both the outer air and the heating system of the car, such that during the wintertime the motor may contribute to the heating of the car. - The use of a liquid cooled motor in the relevant connection is quite unconventional and has been found to present remarkable advantages. For both the construction and the use of the car it is highly advantageous that the otherwise conventional vertical air ducts through the car for supply of cooling air to the motor from above can be eliminated, while the drawing of the
narrow pipes 50 is quite uncomplicated and requires a very small space only. Moreover it has been found that the efficiency of the motor is increased with the use of liquid cooling and that the associated encapsulation of the motor is advantageous for the operational safety of the motor. The liquid filling also contributes to reduce the noise from the motor such that the disclosed very simple mounting of the motor is made practically acceptable. - In Fig. 2 it is clearly shown that the
driving wheels 24 may be located very near the ends of the car. When the length of a self carrying car between the bogie supports is maintained based on conventional standards the total car length will hereby be reduced, inasfar as the support areas are located directly adjacent the car ends, and the associated car length reduction, as already mentioned, will be advantageous in several respects, particularly in enabling an increased car width and still a reduced weight of the car. - It should be emphasized that the achieved very small transverse movability between two intercoupled car ends involves the considerable advantage that the passenger passages between such cars may be constructed in a highly simplified manner compared with the conventional prior art, and that the car ends may be almost totally open towards each other, such that a train of these cars may have the character of a flexible tube without significant narrowing at the car joints.
