Abstract

The device for railway passenger vehicles with UIC pulling and buffering appliances and coupling components which are floatingly mounted and slide on top of one another has active retaining and centring means (1). These retaining and centring means have resilient elements (4) which are constructed as pretensioned, mechanical tension springs, pneumatic springs or as a spring element which can be actuated by a fluid as an energy carrier. In addition, transmission means (5) are provided which are constructed preferably as chains or control cables or flexball or Bowden cables. Railway passenger vehicles are equipped with devices of this kind. In this way, a device for coupling components of railway passenger vehicles is provided which operates with the effect of an active centring which is constantly under pretension transversely with respect to the travelling direction and which positively returns two coupling components, displaced transversely with respect to one another, into a congruent position. This position is retained as long as possible in particular when travelling around bends. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für eine Wagenübergangseinrichtung von Reisezugwagen mit UIC-Zug- und Stossvorrichtungen und schwimmend gelagerten, aufeinander gleitenden Uebergangsteilen, wobei diese Vorrichtung aktive Halte- und Zentriermittel aufweist, sowie einen Reisezugwagen.The present invention relates to a device for a carriage transfer device for passenger carriages with UIC pulling and pushing devices and floating, sliding transition parts, this device having active holding and centering means, and a passenger carriage.

Solche Uebergangseinrichtungen sind in einer Reihe von Ausführungsformen bereits bekannt, können aber nur ungenügend befriedigen, da deren Benützer den Witterungseinflüssen mehr oder weniger stark ausgesetzt sind. Auch die im Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr bei Zugsbegegnungen und Tunnelfahrten mit höherer Intensität auftretenden Druckstösse können zumeist ungehindert über den Uebergangsbereich ins Wageninnere eindringen.Such transition devices are already known in a number of embodiments, but can only satisfy them insufficiently, since their users are more or less strongly exposed to the weather. The pressure surges that occur in high-speed traffic during train encounters and tunnel journeys with a higher intensity can usually penetrate into the interior of the car unhindered via the transition area.

Um diese Nachteile wenigstens einigermassen zu beheben, zeigt beispielsweise die GB-PS-964 210 eine am Wagenkastenende angebrachte Uebergangseinrichtung, deren Endrahmen bei zwei miteinander gekuppelten Fahrzeugen oben über Federmittel und unten durch die Fahrzeugpuffer aneinander gepresst werden.In order to at least somewhat remedy these disadvantages, GB-PS-964 210, for example, shows a transition device attached to the end of the car body, the end frames of two coupled vehicles being pressed against one another at the top by spring means and at the bottom by the vehicle buffers.

Hierbei verhalten sich die Endrahmen in bezug auf Bewegungen in Horizontal- und Vertikalrichtung relativ starr zum jeweiligen Wagenkastenende, so dass die Relativbewegungen zweier Fahrzeuge zueinander in diesen Richtungen ausschliesslich durch das Aufeinandergleiten beider Endrahmen aufgenommen werden.Here, the end frames are relatively rigid with respect to movements in the horizontal and vertical directions to the respective end of the car body, so that the relative movements of two vehicles to one another in these directions are absorbed exclusively by the sliding of the two end frames on one another.

Dies bedeutet, dass die lichte Durchgangsweite der gezeigten Uebergangseinrichtung mit jeder Querbewegung ihrer Wagenkastenenden mehr oder weniger stark eingeschränkt wird. Solche, sich ständig in Querrichtung zueinander bewegenden Uebergangshälften, vermitteln dem Reisenden beim Ueberqueren des begehbaren Teils ein Gefühl der Unsicherheit.This means that the clear passage width of the transition device shown is more or less restricted with each transverse movement of its body ends. Such halves of the transition, which move constantly in the transverse direction, give the traveler a feeling of insecurity when crossing the accessible part.

Eine für den Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr zusätzliche Forderung besteht darin, derartige druckwellenertüchtigte Uebergangseinrichtungen auch UIC-kompatibel zu gestalten, d.h. bei Reisezugwagen anzuwenden, die an beiden Enden federnde Zug- und Stossvorrichtungen, bestehend aus je einer Schraubenkupplung und zwei Seitenpuffern, aufweisen.An additional requirement for high-speed traffic is to make such pressure wave-proof transition devices also UIC-compatible, i.e. to be used for passenger coaches that have resilient pulling and pushing devices at each end, each consisting of a screw coupling and two side buffers.

Für diesen Fall müssen die Puffer zweier miteinander gekuppelter Fahrzeuge im Fahrbetrieb mit ihren Puffertellern direkt aufeinanderliegen. Eine Zwischenschaltung von, den Pufferdruck ausnutzenden, aneinanderliegenden Endrahmen wie im zuvor beschriebenen Beispiel ist nicht zulässig.In this case, the buffers of two vehicles coupled together must lie directly on top of one another with their buffer plates when driving. It is not permissible to interpose adjacent end frames that utilize the buffer pressure, as in the example described above.

Vielmehr müssen solche druckwellenertüchtigten und UIC-kompatiblen Uebergangseinrichtungen den für die Zug- und Stossvorrichtungen beanspruchten Raum umgehen und den für das Kuppeln und Entkuppeln gemäss den internationalen Bestimmungen erforderlichen "Berner Raum" freihalten.Rather, such pressure wave-capable and UIC-compatible transition devices must bypass the space required for the pulling and pushing devices and keep free the "Bern area" required for coupling and uncoupling in accordance with international regulations.

Mit der DE-OS-35 05 762 und DE-OS-34 30 112 sind Uebergangseinrichtungen offenbart, die sowohl den Anforderungen eines neuzeitlichen Fahrkomforts bei Hochgeschwindigkeitsfahrzeugen nachkommen, als auch die Erfordernisse an eine UIC-kompatible Bauart berücksichtigen.DE-OS-35 05 762 and DE-OS-34 30 112 disclose transition devices which both meet the requirements of modern driving comfort in high-speed vehicles and also take into account the requirements for a UIC-compatible design.

Zum Stande der Technik gehört ferner eine Vorrichtung für eine Wagenübergangseinrichtung für Reisezugwagen mit UIC-Zug- und Stossvorrichtung und schwimmend gelagerten, aufeinander gleitenden Uebergangsteilen, wobei diese Vorrichtung aktive Halte- und Zentriermittel aufweist. (EP-A-0 054 458)The prior art also includes a device for a carriage transfer device for passenger carriages with a UIC pulling and pushing device and floating, mutually sliding transition parts, this device having active holding and centering means. (EP-A-0 054 458)

Hierbei ist ein Uebergangseinrichtungsteil so an jedem Wagenkastenende schwimmend aufgehängt und geführt, dass die UIC-Zug- und Stossvorrichtungen nicht tangiert werden und der zum Kuppeln und Entkuppeln benötigte "Berner Raum" freigehalten ist. Die Endrahmen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile zweier miteinander gekuppelter Fahrzeuge sollen durch federnde Elemente in einer druckwellendichten Verbindung schwimmend zwischen den Fahrzeugenden gehalten werden, dies auch beim Versatz der Wagenkastenenden zueinander infolge S-Bogenfahrt.Here, a transition device part is suspended and guided in a floating manner at each end of the car body, so that the UIC pulling and pushing devices are not affected and the "Bern area" required for coupling and uncoupling is kept free. The end frames of the transition device parts of two vehicles that are coupled to one another are to be held floating by spring elements in a pressure-wave-tight connection between the vehicle ends, this also when the ends of the car bodies are offset from one another as a result of S-bow travel.

Erst wenn die Querverschiebung der Fahrzeuge zueinander ein durch einen Anschlag begrenztes Mass übersteigt, wie dies beispielsweise bei grossen Ablenkungen im Bahnhofs- oder Depotbereich vorkommen kann, ist der schwimmende Anteil des Querweges erschöpft und die Endrahmen der beiden Uebergangseinrichtungsteile dürfen sich zueinander in Querrichtung verschieben.Only when the transverse displacement of the vehicles to one another exceeds a dimension limited by a stop, as can occur, for example, in the case of large distractions in the station or depot area, is the floating portion of the transverse path exhausted and the end frames of the two transition device parts are allowed to move in the transverse direction to one another.

Da sich durch die schwimmende Anordnung der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile bei derart grossen Querverschiebungen eine automatische Rückführung mittels dieser federnden Elemente nur bedingt ergibt, sind hierzu entsprechende Zentriermittel vorgesehen, die im Sinne einer passiven Zentrierung ab einem gewissen Punkt die Rückführung zweier zueinander querverschobener Uebergangseinrichtungsteile in eine deckungsgleiche Lage erleichtern. Jüngste Erfahrungen haben jedoch gezeigt, dass für den Zeitpunkt der Trennung zweier Uebergangseinrichtungsteile infolge Kurvenfahrt ausser der Anpresskraft in Längsrichtung und den Reibungskoeffizienten der Gleitflächen auch Faktoren wie Verschmutzungsgrad und Witterungseinflüsse eine wesentliche Rolle spielen, so dass, um diesen Vorgang sicher zu gewährleisten, aktive Zentriermittel wünschenswert sind.Since the floating arrangement of the transition device parts results in automatic return by means of these resilient elements with such large transverse displacements, corresponding centering means are provided for this purpose, which, in the sense of passive centering, facilitate the return of two mutually displaced transition device parts to a congruent position from a certain point . However, recent experience has shown that for the point in time when two transition device parts are separated as a result of cornering, in addition to the contact pressure in the longitudinal direction and the friction coefficients of the sliding surfaces, factors such as the degree of contamination and weather influences also play an important role, so that active centering means are desirable to ensure this process are.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung für Uebergangsteile der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die im Sinne einer quer zur Fahrtrichtung ständig unter Vorspannung stehenden aktiven Zentrierung arbeitet und die zwangsweise Rückführung zweier zueinander querverschobener Uebergangsteile in eine deckungsgleiche Lage bewirkt, welche insbesondere bei Kurvenfahrt möglichst lange erhalten bleibt, indem sie die Uebergangseinrichtung in einer schwimmenden Position zwischen zwei Wagenkastenenden hält.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for transition parts of the type mentioned, which works in the sense of an active centering which is constantly pre-stressed transversely to the direction of travel and which forcibly returns two transitionally displaced transition parts to a congruent position, particularly when cornering remains as long as possible by holding the transition device in a floating position between two ends of the body.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Ansprüchen niedergelegten Massnahmen in überraschend wirkungsvoller Weise gelöst.This object is achieved in a surprisingly effective manner by the measures set out in the claims.

Whose two transition device parts 22, 22 'are each provided with a holding and centering device 1, 1'. In this state, the central longitudinal planes 30 and 31 of the two car body ends 20, 20 'with the central longitudinal plane 32 of the transition device 21 are in alignment, a situation such as that which can be seen, for example, on a straight railway line. The each mirror image opposite drivers 11, 12 and 11 ', 12' are held by the spring means 4, 4 'and the transfer means 5, 5' in a laterally on the respective transition device part 22, 22 'directly or indirectly adjacent position.

In Figur 3 weisen die Mittellängsebenen 30 und 31 der beiden Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ zueinander einen Querversatz auf, wie er beispielsweise infolge Bogenfahrt auf der freien Strecke entstehen kann. Bezüglich der Uebergangseinrichtung 21 wird die Querverschiebung der beiden Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ bis zu einem, durch einen Anschlag 25, 25′ begrenzten Mass von federnden Elementen 3, 3′ und äusseren Dichtmembranen 2, 2′ aufgenommen.In Figure 3, the central longitudinal planes 30 and 31 of the two body ends 20, 20 'to each other a transverse offset, as can arise, for example, due to arcing on the free route. With regard to the transition device 21, the transverse displacement of the two ends 20, 20 'of the stop to a, by a stop 25, 25' limited amount of resilient elements 3, 3 'and outer sealing membranes 2, 2' is added.

Hierbei trennt sich die schwimmend geführte Uebergangseinrichtung 21 nicht. Die Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ verbleiben in ihrer, durch eine gemeinsame Mittellängsebene 32 gekennzeichnete, deckungsgleichen Lage.In this case, the floating transition device 21 does not separate. The transition device parts 22, 22 'remain in their, characterized by a common central longitudinal plane 32, congruent position.

Auch die Halte- und Zentriereinrichtungen 1, 1′ bleiben in Ruhelage, wobei die sich jeweils spiegelbildlich gegenüberliegenden Mitnehmer 11, 12 und 11′, 12′ durch die Federmittel 4, 4′ und die Uebertragsmittel 5, 5′ in einer seitlich am jeweiligen Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22, 22′ direkt oder indirekt anliegenden Position gehalten werden.Also, the holding and centering devices 1, 1 'remain in the rest position, with the mutually opposite drivers 11, 12 and 11', 12 'by the spring means 4, 4' and the transmission means 5, 5 'in a side on the respective transition device part 22, 22 'directly or indirectly adjacent position are held.

In Figur 4 weisen die Mittellängsebenen 30 und 31 der beiden Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ zueinander einen maximalen Querversatz auf, welcher grösser ist als das durch einen Anschlag 25, 25′ begrenzte Mass. Ein derartiger Querversatz entsteht zwischen zwei Wagenkastenenden beim S-bogenförmigen Befahren von Weichen die eine grosse Ablenkung aufweisen. Da der Querweg der federnden Elemente 3, 3′ und der äusseren Dichtungsmembranen 2, 2′ erschöpft ist, trennen sich die beiden Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ aus ihrer deckungsgleichen Lage und bewegen sich auf ihren Gleitflächen 27, 27′ in eine maximal querversetzte Position ihrer Mittellängsebenen 32, 32′.In Figure 4, the central longitudinal planes 30 and 31 of the two body ends 20, 20 'to each other a maximum transverse offset, which is greater than the dimension limited by a stop 25, 25'. Such a transverse offset occurs between two ends of the body when S-shaped driving on switches which have a large deflection. Since the transverse path of the resilient elements 3, 3 'and the outer sealing membranes 2, 2' is exhausted, the two transition device parts 22, 22 'separate from their congruent position and move on their sliding surfaces 27, 27' in a maximum transverse position of their Central longitudinal planes 32, 32 '.

Hierbei werden die Halte- und Zentriereinrichtungen 1, 1′ automatisch in Tätigkeit gesetzt, indem je ein Mitnehmer 11, 12′ in seiner Ruhelage mit querverschoben wird, und die Mitnehmer 11′, 12 gegen den Widerstand der Federmittel 4, 4′ soweit aus den Führungen 15′, 16 herausgezogen werden, wie es dem Querweg der Uebergangeinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ entspricht.Here, the holding and centering devices 1, 1 'are automatically put into action by a driver 11, 12' in its rest position with the cross, and the driver 11 ', 12 against the resistance of the spring means 4, 4' as far from the Guides 15 ', 16 are pulled out, as it corresponds to the transverse path of the transition device parts 22, 22'.

Geht der Querversatz der beiden Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ wieder sukzessive zurück, werden unter Einwirkung der Federmittel 4, 4′ und mittels den, an diesen und an den Mitnehmern 11, 12 und 11′, 12′ angreifenden Uebertragungsmitteln 5, 5′ die Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ wieder in eine deckungsgleiche Lage gebracht, die der Ruhelage der Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 1, 1′ entspricht.If the transverse offset of the two car body ends 20, 20 'successively decreases again, under the action of the spring means 4, 4' and by means of the transmission means 5, 5 'which act on these and on the drivers 11, 12 and 11', 12 ', the transition device parts 22, 22 'brought back into a congruent position, which corresponds to the rest position of the holding and centering device 1, 1'.

Bei einer gegensinnigen Auslenkung von zwei Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ mit einem maximalen Querversatz erfolgt die Aktivierung der Halte- und Zentriereinrichtungen 1, 1′ in umgekehrter Weise, indem die Mitnehmer 11′, 12 in ihrer Ruhelage mit querverschoben werden und die Mitnehmer 11, 12′ gegen den Widerstand der Federmittel 4, 4′ soweit aus den Führungen 15, 16′ herausgezogen werden, wie es dem Querweg der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ entspricht. Bei einem Höhenversatz der aufeinander gleitenden Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ infolge unterschiedlicher Beladungszustände der Wagenkasten 20, 20′ weisen die Mitnehmer 11, 11′ und 12, 12′ eine genügend grosse Ueberdeckung auf, um auch in diesem Zustand nach erfolgter Querbewegung eine Zentrierwirkung auszuüben.In the event of an opposite deflection of two car body ends 20, 20 'with a maximum transverse offset, the activation of the holding and centering devices 1, 1' takes place in the reverse manner, in that the drivers 11 ', 12 are also moved in their rest position and the drivers 11, 12 'Against the resistance of the spring means 4, 4' as far from the guides 15, 16 'are pulled out as it corresponds to the transverse path of the transition device parts 22, 22'. With a height offset of the sliding transition device parts 22, 22 'due to different loading conditions of the car body 20, 20', the drivers 11, 11 'and 12, 12' have a sufficiently large overlap to exert a centering effect even in this state after the transverse movement.

Durch die unterschiedlichen Federsteifigkeiten der federnden Elemente 3, 3′ der Aufhängung der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ und der Halte- und Zehtriereinrichtung 1, 1′ wird in einer sich ergänzenden Weise erreicht, dass die lichte Durchgangsweite der Uebergangseinrichtung 21 bei Kurvenfahrt sehr lange uneingeschränkt erhalten bleibt, ausser beispielsweise bei sehr engen Depotkurven. So sorgt eine in Querrichtung härter ausgeführte Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 1, 1′ in Kombination mit den weicheren Elementen 3, 3′ für die möglichst lange Beibehaltung einer schwimmenden Position der Uebergangseinrichtung 21 bei Kurvenfahrt und für eine effiziente Zentrierung von aufeinander querverschobenen Uebergangseirichtungsteilen 22, 22′ nach dem Befahren von sehr engen Bögen.Due to the different spring stiffness of the resilient elements 3, 3 'of the suspension of the transition device parts 22, 22' and the holding and toe locking device 1, 1 'is achieved in a complementary manner that the clear passage width of the transition device 21 is maintained for a very long time when cornering remains, except for example with very tight depot curves. Thus, a holding and centering device 1, 1 ', which is made harder in the transverse direction, in combination with the softer elements 3, 3' ensures that a floating position of the transition device 21 is maintained as long as possible when cornering and for efficient centering of transitionally shifted parts 22, 22 ′ After driving on very tight bends.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungsformen einer erfindungsgemässen Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung finden sich in den Figuren 5 bis 12.Further advantageous embodiments of a holding and centering device according to the invention can be found in FIGS. 5 to 12.

In Figur 5 ist ein Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 mit einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 125 versehen, die aus je einer seitlich neben der Gleitfläche 27 senkrecht angeordneten Säule 9, 10 besteht, welche an ihrem unteren Ende über je ein horizontales Drehgelenk 7, 8 seitwärts verschwenkbar geführt sind und die an ihrem oberen Ende über horizontal angeordnete Federmittel 4 und Uebertragungsmittel 5 unter Vorspannung miteinander verbunden sind.In FIG. 5, a transition device part 22 is provided with a holding and centering device 125, each of which consists of a column 9, 10 arranged laterally next to the sliding surface 27, each of which is guided laterally pivotably at its lower end via a horizontal swivel joint 7, 8 and which are connected to one another at their upper end via horizontally arranged spring means 4 and transmission means 5 under prestress.

Die Säulen 9, 10 sind vorzugsweise als Rechteckrohr ausgebildet, wobei die Säule 9 beispielsweise in ihrem oberen Bereich einen, in seiner Axialrichtung federnd gelagerten Zentrierzapfen 13 und die Säule 10 an gleicher Stelle eine langlochartige Ausnehmung 14 und ein Abweisprofil 19 aufweist.The columns 9, 10 are preferably formed as a rectangular tube, the column 9 having, for example in its upper region, a centering pin 13 which is resiliently mounted in its axial direction and the column 10 has an elongated hole-like recess 14 and a deflecting profile 19 at the same location.

Die Länge der langlochartigen Ausnehmung 14 ist bestimmt durch den vertikalen Versatz, den zwei sich gegenüberliegende Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ beim Kuppeln ihrer Wagenkasten 20, 20′, beispielsweise infolge unterschiedlicher Beladungszustände, einnehmen können.The length of the slot-like recess 14 is determined by the vertical offset, the two opposite transition device parts 22, 22 'when coupling their car body 20, 20', for example due to different loading conditions, can occupy.

Durch das Abweisprofil 19 wird der an der gegenüberliegenden Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung vorstehende Zentrierzapfen beim Kuppeln von zwei, einen Querversatz aufweisenden Wagenkastenenden 20, 20′ am seitlichen Verhaken mit der gegenüberliegenden Säule 10 gehindert.Through the deflecting profile 19, the protruding centering pin on the opposite holding and centering device when coupling two cross-car body ends 20, 20 'is prevented from catching on the side with the opposite column 10.

Infolge von Relativbewegungen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ zueinander, gelangt so bei nächster Gelegenheit, beispielsweise infolge Kurvenfahrt, ein anfangs neben das Abweisprofil 19 zeigender, oder ein auf der Gleitfläche 27 eines gegenüberliegenden Uebergangseinrichtungsteils aufstehender Zentrierzapfen 13 automatisch in die langlochartige Ausnehmung 14 der Säule 10.As a result of relative movements of the transition device parts 22, 22 'to one another, at the next opportunity, for example due to cornering, a centering pin 13 initially pointing next to the deflecting profile 19 or a centering pin 13 standing on the sliding surface 27 of an opposite transition device part automatically enters the slot-like recess 14 of the column 10 .

Hierzu ist der Zentrierzapfen 13 derart federnd gelagert, dass er bei Einwirkung einer äusse- ren Kraft in axialer Richtung mindestens soweit zurückge- drückt werden kann, dass er mit der äusseren Kontur der Säule 9 bündig abschliesst.For this purpose, the centering pin 13 is resiliently mounted in such a way that it can be pushed back in the axial direction under the action of an external force at least to such an extent that it is flush with the outer contour of the column 9.

Die Säulen 9, 10 können auch als Formrohr ausgebildet sein, derart, dass ein separates Abweisprofil 19 nicht mehr erforderlich ist und dessen Funktion von der Formgebung der Säulen übernommen wird.The columns 9, 10 can also be designed as a shaped tube, such that a separate deflecting profile 19 is no longer required and its function is taken over by the shape of the columns.

Bei zwei deckungsgleich aneinanderliegenden Uebergangseinrichtungsteilen 22, 22′ greifen die Zentrierzapfen 13 jeweils in die ihnen gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 14 und die Säulen 9, 10 werden durch die Federmittel 4 und die Uebertragsmittel 5 in einer seitlich an dem jeweiligen Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22, 22′ senkrecht anliegenen Position gehalten.With two congruent adjacent transition device parts 22, 22 ', the centering pins 13 each engage in the recesses 14 opposite them and the columns 9, 10 are held by the spring means 4 and the transmission means 5 in a laterally adjacent position on the respective transition device part 22, 22' .

Bei Querverschiebungen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ in einer in Fig. 4 gezeigten Weise, nehmen die Säulen 9, 10 der Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 125 je nach Verschieberichtung abwechselnd, die in Figur 5 gekennzeichnete Lage 9′ bzw. 10′ ein.In the event of transverse displacements of the transition device parts 22, 22 'in a manner shown in FIG. 4, the columns 9, 10 of the holding and centering device 125 alternate, depending on the direction of displacement, with the position 9' or 10 'shown in FIG. 5.

Figur 6 zeigt die Aggregatbauweise einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 26, die ebenfalls je eine seitlich neben der Gleitfläche 27 senkrecht angeordnete Säule 9, 10 aufweist, welche an ihrem unteren Ende über je ein horizontales Drehgelenk 7, 8 seitwärts verschwenkbar geführt sind.FIG. 6 shows the unit construction of a holding and centering device 26, which also each has a column 9, 10 arranged laterally next to the sliding surface 27, which are pivoted sideways at their lower ends via a horizontal swivel joint 7, 8.

Die Säulen 9, 10 werden durch Federmittel 4 und Uebertragungsmittel 5 unter Vorspannung jeweils in einer seitlichen am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 senkrecht anliegenden Position gehalten.The pillars 9, 10 are held by spring means 4 and transmission means 5 under prestress in a lateral position lying vertically on the transition device part 22.

Hierzu sind in jeder Säule 9, 10 die Federmittel 4 integriert und durch Uebertragungsmittel 5 mit dem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 verbunden, welche durch hierzu in den Säulen 9, 10 gelagerte Umlenkmittel 6 in eine, von der Wirkrichtung der Federmittel 4 abweichende Ebene geführt werden.For this purpose, the spring means 4 are integrated in each column 9, 10 and connected to the transition device part 22 by means of transmission means 5, which are guided in a plane deviating from the effective direction of the spring means 4 by means of deflection means 6 mounted in the columns 9, 10 for this purpose.

Figur 7 zeigt ein mit einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 28 ausgerüstetes Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22. Jeweils eine Zentriereinheit 13′ und ein Mitnehmer 14′ sind verdrehsicher seitlich bezüglich des Uebergangsteils 22 versetzt beispielsweise in dessen oberem Bereich, vorgesehen und mit wenigstens je einer, mindestens der Länge des Querwegs gemäss Figur 4 entsprechenden, am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 angebrachten Führung 15, 16 seitlich verschiebbar gelagert. Die Zentriereinheit 13′ und der Mitnehmer 14′ sind hierbei durch Uebertragungsmittel 5 miteinander verbunden, die über zwei, am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 gelagerte Umlenkmittel 6 und ein weiteres Umlenkmittel 6′ geführt werden, welches über Federmittel 4 auf Zug oder Druck unter Vorspannung gehalten wird.FIG. 7 shows a transition device part 22 equipped with a holding and centering device 28. A centering unit 13 'and a driver 14' are offset against rotation laterally with respect to the transition part 22, for example in the upper region thereof, and are provided with at least one each, at least the length of the 4 corresponding guide 15, 16 mounted laterally displaceably on the transition device part 22. The centering unit 13 'and the driver 14' are connected to each other by transmission means 5 which are guided via two deflection means 6 mounted on the transition device part 22 and a further deflection means 6 ', which is held under tension by spring means 4 under tension or pressure.

In einer weiter möglichen Ausführungsform können die Zentriereinheit 13′ und der Mitnehmer 14′ einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 28, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, durch Federmittel 4 und Uebertragungsmittel 5 direkt in einer Ebene miteinander verbunden sein.In a further possible embodiment, the centering unit 13 'and the driver 14' of a holding and centering device 28, as shown in FIG. 1, can be connected to one another directly in one plane by spring means 4 and transmission means 5.

Bei einer in Figur 8 gezeigten, auf demselben Erfindungsgedanken beruhenden Ausführungsform einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 29 sind die jeweils seitlich neben der Gleitfläche 27 senkrecht angeordneten Säulen 9, 10 als Biegefedern 17, 18 ausgebildet, welche annähernd in der Mitte über je ein horizontales Drehgelenk 7, 8 unter Vorspannung mit dem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 verbunden sind.In an embodiment of a holding and centering device 29 shown in FIG. 8 and based on the same inventive concept, the columns 9, 10 arranged laterally next to the sliding surface 27 are designed as spiral springs 17, 18, each of which is approximately in the middle via a horizontal swivel joint 7 , 8 are connected to the transition device part 22 under prestress.

Die als Biegefedern 17, 18 ausgebildeten Säulen 9, 10 übernehmen bei einer erfindungsgemässen Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 29 gleichzeitig die Funktion der sonst angewendeten Federmittel. Hierzu sind die Biegefedern 17, 18 beispielsweise aus einem Verbundwerkstoff unter Verwendung von Glasfasern oder Kohlenstoffasern hergestellt, wobei zur Erzielung von Eigenschaftskombinationen der Werkstoffe diese auch untereinander in einer Verbundstruktur angewendet werden können.In the case of a holding and centering device 29 according to the invention, the columns 9, 10 designed as spiral springs 17, 18 simultaneously take on the function of the spring means otherwise used. For this purpose, the bending springs 17, 18 are made, for example, of a composite material using glass fibers or carbon fibers, and in order to achieve combinations of properties of the materials, these can also be used with one another in a composite structure.

Eine so hergestellte Biegefeder 17, 18 besitzt im ungespannten Zustand bezüglich ihrer Längsachse bereits eine leicht durchgebogene Form, die beim seitlichen Anbau an ein Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 eine Vorspannung bezüglich ihrer oberen und unteren Endpartien erzeugt.A torsion spring 17, 18 thus produced already has a slightly bent shape with respect to its longitudinal axis in the untensioned state, which generates a prestress with respect to its upper and lower end parts when it is attached laterally to a transition device part 22.

Weiter weist eine Biegefeder 17 beispielsweise an ihrer oberen Endpartie den in seiner Axialrichtung federnd gelagerten Zentrierzapfen 13 und an ihrer unteren Endpartie die langlochartige Ausnehmung 14, sowie ein Abweisprofil 19 auf. Wird eine so ausgestatte Biegefeder 17 beispielsweise rechtsbündig am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 angebracht, kann sie bei drehsymmetrischer Betrachtungsweise mit eine am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 linksbündig angebrachten Biegefeder 18 identisch sein.Furthermore, a spiral spring 17 has, for example, on its upper end section the centering pin 13 which is resiliently mounted in its axial direction and on its lower end section the slot-like recess 14 and a deflecting profile 19. If a spiral spring 17 equipped in this way is, for example, right-justified on the transition device part 22, it can be identical to a spiral spring 18 mounted on the left of the transition device part 22 when viewed in a rotationally symmetrical manner.

Von besonderem Vorteil zeigt sich hierbei die pro Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 29 verdoppelte Anzahl der Zentrierzapfen 13, was beim Ineinandergreifen in die Ausnehmungen 14 des gegenüberliegenden Uebergangseinrichtungsteils 22′ einer Herabsetzung der Flächenpressung zugute kommt.Of particular advantage here is the doubling of the number of centering pins 13 per holding and centering device 29, which benefits from a reduction in the surface pressure when interlocking in the recesses 14 of the opposite transition device part 22 '.

Bei Querverschiebungen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ in einer in Fig. 4 gezeigten Weise, nehmen die Biegefedern 17, 18 unter stetiger Zunahme der Federkraft je nach Verschieberichtung abwechselnd, mit ihren oberen und/oder unteren Enden die in Figur 8 gekennzeichnete Lage 17′, 18′ ein.In the event of transverse displacements of the transition device parts 22, 22 'in a manner shown in FIG. 4, the spiral springs 17, 18 take turns with their upper and / or lower ends alternately with their upper and / or lower ends, the position 17' marked in FIG. 18 ′ a.

Weitere Ausbildungsformen einer erfindungsgemässen Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung sind, jeweils nur hälftig gezeichnet, in den Figuren 9 bis 12 dargestellt. Sie bieten bezüglich der Führung der Säulen 9, 10 und in Bezug auf die Anordnung der Federmittel 4 zahlreiche Kombinationsmöglichkeiten, die eine optimale Anpassung an die jeweiligen Anforderungen ermöglichen.Further forms of training of a holding and centering device according to the invention are shown in each case only half drawn in FIGS. 9 to 12. They offer numerous combination options with regard to the guidance of the columns 9, 10 and with regard to the arrangement of the spring means 4, which enable optimum adaptation to the respective requirements.

In Figur 9 ist je eine Säule (9), 10 einer Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 36 seitlich an einem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 annähernd senkrecht angeordnet. Jede Säule (9), 10 ist mit mindestens zwei parallelen, im Abstand angeordneten und in einem Drehgelenk 8, 8′ gelagerten Schiebegliedern 34, 34′ versehen.In FIG. 9, one column (9), 10 of a holding and centering device 36 is arranged approximately vertically on the side of a transition device part 22. Each column (9), 10 is provided with at least two parallel, spaced and in a hinge 8, 8 'mounted sliding members 34, 34'.

Die Schiebeglieder 34, 34′ sind in horizontalen Führungen 16, 16′, die mindestens der Länge des Querweges gemäss Figur 4 entsprechen, seitlich verschiebbar gelagert, wobei mindestens eine Führung 16, 16′ in ein Drehlager 33 integriert ist.The sliding members 34, 34 'are in horizontal guides 16, 16', which correspond to at least the length of the transverse path according to Figure 4, laterally mounted, at least one guide 16, 16 'is integrated in a pivot bearing 33.

Die Säule 10 weist beispielsweise in ihrem unteren Bereich einen, in seiner Axialrichtung Federnd gelagerten Zentrierzapfen 13 und in ihrem oberen Bereich eine langlochartige Ausnehmung 14 und ein Abweisprofil 19 auf. Ueber horizontal angordnete Federmittel 4 wird die Säule 10 in einer seitlich an dem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 senkrecht anliegenden Position gehalten.The column 10 has, for example, in its lower region a centering pin 13 which is resiliently mounted in its axial direction and in its upper region a slot-like recess 14 and a deflecting profile 19. The column 10 is held in a position perpendicular to the side of the transition device part 22 by means of horizontally arranged spring means 4.

Bei Querverschiebungen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ in einer in Fig. 4 gezeigten Weise nehmen die Säulen (9), 10 je nach Verschieberichtung abwechselnd, die in Figur 9 gekennzeichnete Lage (9′), 10′ ein.In the event of transverse displacements of the transition device parts 22, 22 'in a manner shown in FIG. 4, the columns (9), 10 alternate depending on the direction of displacement, the position (9'), 10 'marked in FIG. 9.

Ein vereinfachtes Beispiel für die Führung einer Säule (9), 10 seitlich am Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 ist in Figur 10 eine Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 37 gezeigt. Hierbei kann auf ein in Figur 9 vorgeschlagenes Drehlager 33 verzichtet werden, wenn mindestens ein Drehgelenk 8, 8′ der Schiebeglieder 34, 34′ in der Säule (9), 10 in einer langlochartigen Aussparung 35 geführt ist.A simplified example for guiding a column (9), 10 laterally on the transition device part 22 is shown in FIG. 10 a holding and centering device 37. A pivot bearing 33 proposed in FIG. 9 can be dispensed with here if at least one pivot joint 8, 8 'of the sliding members 34, 34' is guided in the column (9), 10 in a slot-like recess 35.

Bei Querverschiebungen der Uebergangseinrichtungsteile 22, 22′ in einer in Fig. 4 gezeigten Weise nehmen die Säulen (9), 10 je nach Verschieberichtung abwechselnd, die in Figur 10 gekennzeichnete Lage (9′), 10′ ein.In the event of transverse displacements of the transition device parts 22, 22 'in a manner shown in FIG. 4, the columns (9), 10 alternate depending on the direction of displacement, the position (9'), 10 'shown in FIG. 10.

In Figur 11 ist eine nach Figur 9 oder 10 geführte Säule (9), 10 als Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 38 ausgebildet und über oben und unten vertikal integrierte Federmittel 4 und durch Uebertragungsmittel 5 mit einem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 verbunden. Durch die in den Säulen (9), 10 gelagerten Umlenkmittel 6 werden die Uebertragungsmittel 5, wie bereits unter Figur 6 beschrieben, in eine, von der Wirkrichtung der Federmittel 4 abweichende Ebene geführt.In FIG. 11, a column (9), 10 guided according to FIG. 9 or 10 is designed as a holding and centering device 38 and connected to a transition device part 22 via spring means 4 vertically integrated above and below and by means of transmission 5. Through the deflection means 6 mounted in the columns (9), 10, the transmission means 5, as already described under FIG. 6, are guided into a plane which deviates from the direction of action of the spring means 4.

Weiter ist es auch denkbar, eine nach Figur 9 oder 10 geführte Säule (9), 10 in der in Figur 12 gezeigten Form als Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 39 federnd mit einem Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 zu verbinden.Furthermore, it is also conceivable to resiliently connect a column (9), 10 guided according to FIG. 9 or 10 in the form shown in FIG. 12 as a holding and centering device 39 to a transition device part 22.

Durch die in Axialrichtung federnd angeordneten Zentrierzapfen 13 wird es möglich, dass ein mit einer erfindungsgemässen Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung 25, 26, 28, 29, 36, 37, 38, 39 ausgerüstetes Uebergangseinrichtungsteil 22 beispielsweise anstelle eines artreinen Gegenstücks auch mit einem herkömmlichen UIC-Gummiwulstübergang kompatibel ist.The centering pins 13, which are resiliently arranged in the axial direction, make it possible for a transition device part 22 equipped with a holding and centering device 25, 26, 28, 29, 36, 37, 38, 39 according to the invention to be replaced, for example, with a conventional UIC instead of a pure counterpart. Rubber bead transition is compatible.

Eine derartige Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung zeichnet sich insbesondere auch dadurch aus, dass sie zwei Uebergangseinrichtungsteile möglichst lange in einer, bezüglich der Wagenkastenenden schwimmenden Lage hält. Sie wirkt quer zur Fahrtrichtung und erzeugt aufgrund ihrer ständigen Vorspannung eine stets deckungsgleiche Position der beiden Uebergangseinrichtungsteile. Zum zweiten bewirkt diese Halte-und Zentriereinrichtung eine zwangsweise Rückführung von zwei aufeinander gleitenden Uebergangseinrichtungsteilen, die durch vorgespannte Federmittel automatisch nach einer, infolge einer grossen Ablenkung ausgeführten Querverschiebung ihrer aufeinander gleitenden Teile in eine, bezüglich dieser Teile deckungsgleichen Lage gebracht werden.Such a holding and centering device is characterized in particular by the fact that it holds two transition device parts as long as possible in a position that is floating with respect to the ends of the car body. It acts transversely to the direction of travel and, due to its constant preload, always creates a congruent position of the two transition device parts. Secondly, this holding and centering device results in a forced return of two transition device parts sliding on one another, which are automatically brought into a congruent position with respect to these parts by prestressed spring means after a transverse displacement of their sliding parts which is carried out as a result of a large deflection.

Ab dieser Stellung kann dann eine Uebergangseinrichtung der gattungsgemässen Art, von dieser Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung gehalten, ihre schwimmende Position zwischen den Wagenkastenenden wieder einnehmen. Diese wird von der erfindungsgemässen Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung solange gehalten, bis die Querverschiebung von zwei miteinander gekuppelten Fahrzeugen ein durch einen Anschlag begrenztes Mass übersteigt. Ab diesem Moment trennen sich wiederum die Uebergangseinrichtungsteile aus ihrer deckungsgleichen Lage, verschieben sich zueinander und aktivieren dabei automatisch die erfindungsgemässe Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung für eine erneute zwangsweise Rückführung.
Dank der Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung erfolgt ein definiertes Trennen zweier Uebergangseinrichtungsteile aus ihrer schwimmenden Lage infolge Querversatz ihrer Wagenkastenenden erst zu einem sehr späten Zeitpunkt, nämlich dann, wenn das durch einen Anschlag begrenzte Mass der Querverschiebung überschritten wird. Dies bedeutet, dass die lichte Durchgangsweite der Uebergangseinrichtung bei Kurvenfahrt sehr lange uneingeschränkt erhalten bleibt, ausser beispielsweise bei engen Depotkurven.
Durch die erfindungsgmässe Halte- und Zentriereinrichtung bleibt die lichte Durchgangsweite von getrennten und zueinander querverschobenen Uebergangseinrichtungsteilen im Vergleich zu nicht schwimmend aufgehängten Uebergangseinrichtungen um das Mass des schwimmenden Anteils grösser, was für die Reisenden eine bedeutende Komfortverbesserung beim Ueberqueren ergibt.
From this position, a transition device of the generic type, held by this holding and centering device, can again assume its floating position between the ends of the car body. This is held by the holding and centering device according to the invention until the transverse displacement of two coupled vehicles exceeds a dimension limited by a stop. From this moment on, the transition device parts in turn separate from their congruent position, shift relative to one another and automatically activate the holding and centering device according to the invention for a new forced return.
Thanks to the holding and centering device, a defined separation of two transition device parts from their floating position takes place at a very late point in time as a result of transverse displacement of their ends of the car body, namely when the amount of transverse displacement limited by a stop is exceeded. This means that the clear passage width of the transition device remains unrestricted for a very long time when cornering, except for example in the case of narrow depot curves.
Due to the holding and centering device according to the invention, the clear passage width of separate and mutually displaced transition device parts remains larger in comparison to non-floating transition devices by the amount of the floating portion, which results in a significant improvement in comfort for the travelers when crossing.

Derart in einer schwimmenden Verbindung gehaltenen Uebergangseinrichtungen vermitteln dem Reisenden beim Ueberqueren ein Gefühl der Sicherheit, da sich im normalen Fahrbetrieb die Uebergangseinrichtungsteile selten gegeneinander verschieben. Die Uebergangseinrichtung wird so kaum mehr als eine solche empfunden und kann zu einem funktionellen Reiseraum werden.Transition devices held in this way in a floating connection give the traveler a feeling of security when crossing, since the parts of the transition device rarely move against one another during normal driving. The transition facility is hardly perceived as such and can become a functional travel area.
