Abstract

In a bogie frame (1) with three wheel sets there is provision for the centre wheel set (3) to be supported in the transverse direction on each side with respect to the bogie frame (1) by means of adjustment elements (7, 7'). These adjustment elements (7, 7') serve, when going round a bend, to adjust the centre wheel set (3) to the outside of the bend as a function of the rotation angle of the bogie frame (1) which can be determined by means of measuring elements. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Laufwerk für Schienenfahrzeuge mit wenigstens sechs Radsätzen, wobei jeweils drei Radsätze über Kopplungs- und Führungselemente, insbesondere zur Längs- und Querführung, mit einem Drehgestellrahmen verbunden sind und die Drehgestellrahmen jeweils gegenüber einem Fahrzeugrahmen eine Verdrehbarkeit besitzen.The invention relates to a running gear for rail vehicles with at least six wheel sets, three wheel sets each being connected to a bogie frame via coupling and guide elements, in particular for longitudinal and transverse guidance, and the bogie frames each being rotatable relative to a vehicle frame.

Es besteht hierbei das Problem, daß die Kurvengängigkeit von Schienenfahrzeugen mit dreiachsigen Drehgestellen maßgeblich von den Mittelradsätzen der Drehgestelle beeinflußt wird und die mittleren Radsätze bekannter Ausbildungen bei kleinen Kurvenradien dazu neigen, an der Bogeninnenseite anzulaufen. Dadurch entsteht zwischen dem Innenrad und der Schiene eine Querkraft, die den Radsatz zur Bogenaußenseite drückt und in Verbindung mit kegeligen Radprofilen ein entgegen dem Bogendrehsinn gerichtetes Moment erzeugt.There is the problem that the cornering of rail vehicles with three-axle bogies is significantly influenced by the center wheel sets of the bogies and the middle wheel sets of known designs with small curve radii tend to run up on the inside of the curve. This creates a transverse force between the inner wheel and the rail, which presses the wheel set to the outside of the bend and, in conjunction with tapered wheel profiles, generates a torque directed counter to the direction of rotation of the bend.

Dabei bewirken Kraft und Moment - verglichen mit einem Freilauf des mittleren Radsatzes - eine Zunahme des Niveaus der Rad-Schienen-Kräfte an den Endachsen.Force and moment - compared to a freewheeling of the middle wheel set - cause an increase in the level of the wheel-rail forces on the end axles.

Zur Verbesserung des Bogenlaufes von Schienenfahrzeugen mit dreiachsigen Drehgestellen sind Laufwerke bekannt, bei denen der mittlere Radsatz eines jeden Drehgestelles mit einem genügend großen freien Querspiel gegenüber dem Drehgestellrahmen versehen ist. Auf diese Weise kann sich der mittlere Radsatz bei der Fahrt in Bögen mit kleinen Krümmungsradien, bedingt durch das Fehlen von Rückstellkräften zwischen Radsatz und Drehgestellrahmen in Querrichtung, frei einstellen.To improve the curvature of rail vehicles with three-axle bogies, drives are known in which the middle wheel set of each bogie is provided with a sufficiently large free transverse play with respect to the bogie frame. To this The middle wheel set can adjust freely when traveling in arches with small radii of curvature due to the lack of restoring forces between the wheel set and the bogie frame in the transverse direction.

Das Bogenlaufverhalten derartiger Schienenfahrzeuge ähnelt dann dem Verhalten von Schienenfahrzeugen mit zweiachsigen Drehgestellen und einem Achsabstand, der der Entfernung der beiden Endachsen der dreiachsigen Drehgestelle entspricht.The curve running behavior of such rail vehicles then resembles the behavior of rail vehicles with biaxial bogies and a center distance which corresponds to the distance between the two end axes of the biaxial bogies.

Derartige Konstruktionen weisen den Nachteil auf, daß bei Fahrten mit Fliehkraftüberschuß der mittlere Radsatz nicht an der Übertragung der Fliehkräfte des Fahrzeugkastens und des Drehgestellrahmens auf das Gleis teilnimmt und sich somit der auf die Endradsätze der Drehgestelle entfallende Anteil erhöht. Dies kann insbesondere bei schnellen Bogenfahrten zu unzulässig hohen Gleisverschiebungskräften führen.Such constructions have the disadvantage that when traveling with excess centrifugal force, the middle wheel set does not participate in the transmission of the centrifugal forces of the vehicle body and the bogie frame to the track, and thus the proportion attributable to the end wheel sets of the bogies increases. This can lead to impermissibly high track displacement forces, especially when traveling quickly through bends.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Laufwerk der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, das die Bogenlauffähigkeit verbessert und auch bei größeren Überhöhungsfehlbeträgen die Gleisbelastung minimiert.The object of the invention is to provide a drive of the generic type which improves the sheet running ability and minimizes the track load even with large cant deficiency amounts.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß an jeder Seite des mittleren Radsatzes zwischen Drehgestellrahmen und Radsatz ein in Querrichtung wirkendes kraftgeregeltes Stellglied angeordnet ist, das zur Verstellung des mittleren Radsatzes bei Kurvenfahrt an eine Bogenaußenseite über die Steuereinrichtung in Abhängigkeit eines Meßelementes zur Erfassung des Ausdrehwinkels des Drehgestellrahmens einstellbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a transversely acting force-controlled actuator is arranged on each side of the middle wheel set between the bogie frame and the wheel set, which is used to adjust the middle wheel set when cornering on an outside of the bow via the control device as a function of a measuring element for detecting the turning angle the bogie frame is adjustable.

Durch diese Ausbildung ist es möglich, den mittleren Radsatz in eine für die jeweilige Bogenfahrt bezüglich der Gleisbelastung und der Kraftaufteilung zwischen den einzelnen Radsätzen optimale Stellung zu verschieben. Befährt ein derart ausgerüstetes Schienenfahrzeug einen Bogen, so erfolgt die Betätigung der Stellglieder in Richtung der Bogenaußenseite, so daß der Mittelradsatz von der Schiene an der Bogeninnenseite wegbewegt wird.This design makes it possible to shift the middle wheel set into an optimal position for the respective curve travel with regard to the track load and the force distribution between the individual wheel sets. If a rail vehicle equipped in this way travels a curve, the actuators are actuated in the direction of the outside of the curve, so that the center wheel set is moved away from the rail on the inside of the curve.

Bei einem höheren Fliehkraftüberschuß kann die in den Stellgliedern wirkende Kraft und der entsprechende Weg in den durch den möglichen Relativweg zwischen dem Radsatz und dem Drehgestellrahmen gegebenen Grenzen angepaßt werden.With a higher excess of centrifugal force, the force acting in the actuators and the corresponding path can be adapted within the limits given by the possible relative path between the wheel set and the bogie frame.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß als Meßelement zwischen Fahrzeugrahmen und Drehgestellrahmen ein Sensor angeordnet ist und die Stellglieder entsprechend dem von dem Sensor ermittelten Ausdrehwinkel einstellbar sind.An advantageous embodiment is created in that a sensor is arranged as a measuring element between the vehicle frame and the bogie frame and the actuators are adjustable in accordance with the turning angle determined by the sensor.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Stellglieder zusätzlich durch eine eingestellte Vorspannung zur Querführung des Radsatzes ausgebildet sind.Furthermore, it is proposed that the actuators are additionally formed by a set preload for transverse guidance of the wheel set.

Es ist ferner vorgesehen, daß an jedem Drehgestellrahmen ein Sensor angeordnet ist und die Stellglieder gemeinsam entsprechend dem Mittelwert der beiden Ausdrehwinkel über die Steuervorrichtung einstellbar sind. Der besondere Vorteil dieser Ausbildung liegt darin, daß aus dem mittleren Ausdrehwinkel sehr genau der durchfahrene Bogenradius bestimmt werden kann.It is further provided that a sensor is arranged on each bogie frame and the actuators can be adjusted jointly via the control device in accordance with the mean value of the two unscrewing angles. The particular advantage of this design is that the arc radius traveled can be determined very precisely from the mean turning angle.

Eine einfache Ausbildung besteht darin, daß die Stellglieder als Luftbalgzylinder ausgebildet sind.A simple design is that the actuators are designed as air bellows cylinders.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführung gemäß Figur 1 sind die Endradsätze 2 und der Mittelradsatz 3 über Längsführungen 6 und Querführungen 5, die am Radsatzlager 4 angreifen, an den Drehgestellrahmen 1 gekoppelt. Vertikale Kopplungselemente sowie Zusatzausrüstungen (Bremse, Motor, etc.) sind der Übersichtlichkeit wegen nicht näher dargestellt.In the illustrated embodiment according to FIG. 1, the end wheel sets 2 and the center wheel set 3 are coupled to the bogie frame 1 via longitudinal guides 6 and transverse guides 5, which engage the wheel set bearing 4. Vertical coupling elements as well as additional equipment (brake, motor, etc.) are not shown in detail for reasons of clarity.

Am mittleren Radsatz 3 sind den Querführungen 5 an beiden Seiten zusätzlich Stellglieder 7 parallel geschaltet. In der vorliegenden Ausführung wurden Luftbalgzylinder als Stellglieder 7 gewählt, die bei der Fahrt in der Geraden drucklos geschaltet sind. Während der Bogenfahrt wird der innenliegende Luftbalgzylinder 7 des Radsatzes 3 mit Druckluft beaufschlagt und sorgt dadurch für die erforderliche Kraft bzw. die Wegänderung des Mittelradsatzes 3 nach außen.On the middle wheel set 3, the transverse guides 5, actuators 7 are additionally connected in parallel on both sides. In the present embodiment, air bellows cylinders have been selected as actuators 7, which are depressurized when driving in a straight line. Compressed air is applied to the inner air bellows cylinder 7 of the wheel set 3 during the arc travel, thereby ensuring the required force or the change in the path of the center wheel set 3 to the outside.

Selbstverständlich können anstelle des Luftbalgzylinders 7 auch andere Stellglieder, wie Druckluftzylinder und Hydraulikzylinder eingesetzt werden.Of course, other actuators, such as compressed air cylinders and hydraulic cylinders, can also be used instead of the air bellows cylinder 7.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist eine Steuereinrichtung zur Ansteuerung der Luftbalgzylinder 7 durch einen Sensor 8 dargestellt. Der Ausdrehwinkel zwischen Drehgestellrahmen 1 und einem angedeuteten Fahrzeugrahmen 9 wird aus einer Abstandsmessung zwischen dem Sensor 8 und einer am Fahrzeugrahmen 9 angebrachten Meßfläche 12 unter Berücksichtigung des Hebelarmes zum Drehzentrum 13 bestimmt.2, a control device for controlling the air bellows cylinder 7 by a sensor 8 is shown. The turning angle between the bogie frame 1 and an indicated vehicle frame 9 is determined from a distance measurement between the sensor 8 and a measuring surface 12 attached to the vehicle frame 9, taking into account the lever arm to the turning center 13.

Die Winkelmessung erfolgt sinnvollerweise in Längsrichtung, da die Verschiebbarkeit zwischen Drehgestellrahmen 1 und Fahrzeugrahmen 9 in Längsrichtung im allgemeinen kleiner ist als in der lateralen Richtung.The angle measurement is expediently carried out in the longitudinal direction, since the displaceability between bogie frame 1 and vehicle frame 9 in the longitudinal direction is generally smaller than in the lateral direction.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform in der Stellglieder 7' am mittleren Radsatz 3 gleichzeitig in Querrichtung federnde Eigenschaften haben, und in der Lage sind, den Radsatz 3 zu führen, ist in der Fig. 3 dargestellt.Another embodiment in which the actuators 7 'on the middle wheel set 3 have resilient properties in the transverse direction at the same time and are able to guide the wheel set 3 is shown in FIG. 3.

Bei einer Verwendung von Luftbalgzylindern 7' läßt sich dies erreichen, in dem die Zylinder im Grundzustand bereits mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden und eine nötige Verspannung sicherstellen. Durch das Absenken des Druckes auf der einen Seite bzw. die Erhöhung auf der anderen, wird im Bogen die erforderliche Kraftwirkung für die erforderliche Verstellung erzielt.When using air bellows cylinders 7 ', this can be achieved by already applying compressed air to the cylinders in the basic state and ensuring the necessary bracing. By lowering the pressure on one side or increasing it on the other, the force required for the required adjustment is achieved in the bow.

Gemäß Fig. 4 ist eine Anordnung von zwei Sensoren 8 und 8' hintereinander angeordneter Drehgestellrahmen 1, 1' dargestellt, wobei eine logische Verknüpfung der gebildeten Meßsignale anhand des im Spurkanals stehenden Schienenfahrzeuges zu entnehmen ist.4 shows an arrangement of two sensors 8 and 8 'bogie frames 1, 1' arranged one behind the other, wherein a logical connection of the measurement signals formed can be seen on the basis of the rail vehicle standing in the track channel.

Der Sensor 8 am vorlaufenden Drehgestell 1 sowie der Sensor 8'am nachlaufenden Drehgestell 1'berechnen jeweils den Ausdrehwinkel α bzw. α' bezüglich des Fahrzeugrahmens 9.The sensor 8 on the leading bogie 1 and the sensor 8 'on the trailing bogie 1' each calculate the turning angle α or α 'with respect to the vehicle frame 9.

Wegen der Schrägstellung innerhalb des Spurkanals 2 δ s und innerhalb der Querfederung 2δQ weichen die beiden Winkel α und α' von dem Winkel α φ ab, der sich für radial stehende Drehgestelle ergibt:

Figure imgb0001

mit:

lg:
Drehgestellabstand
Rm:
mittlerer Bogenhalbmesser
Es zeigt sich, daß der Ausdrehwinkel des vorlaufenden Drehgestelles etwas kleiner als ist

α = α φ - Δ α
Figure imgb0002


und der Ausdrehwinkel des nachlaufenden etwas größer

α = α φ + Δ α'
Figure imgb0003


Weil Δ α und Δ α' etwa gleich groß sind, läßt sich aus der Summe resp. dem Mittelwert der beiden Winkel vorzüglich ein sehr genaues Maß für den durchfahrenden Bogenradius ableiten:
Figure imgb0004

Die Verschaltung der Sensorausgangssignale ist ebenfalls in Fig. 4 dargestellt.Because of the inclination within the track channel 2 δ s and within the transverse suspension 2δ Q , the two angles α and α 'deviate from the angle α φ that results for radially standing bogies:
Figure imgb0001

With:
lg:
Bogie distance
Rm:
medium arc radius
It turns out that the turning angle of the leading bogie is slightly smaller than

α = α φ - Δ α
Figure imgb0002


and the turning angle of the trailing slightly larger

α = α φ + Δ α '
Figure imgb0003


Because Δ α and Δ α 'are approximately the same size, the sum of. derive a very precise measure of the arc radius passing through from the mean of the two angles:
Figure imgb0004

The interconnection of the sensor output signals is also shown in FIG. 4.

Durch Summation bzw. Mittelwertbildung 10 werden die beiden Meßsignale zu einer Größe α zusammengefaßt und in den Bogenradius über einen Rechner 11 umrechnet. Diese aufbereitete Größe steht nun zur Sollwertvorgabe innerhalb des Regelkreises der Stellglieder 7 zur Verfügung.By summation or averaging 10, the two measurement signals become one variable α summarized and converted into the arc radius using a computer 11. This processed variable is now available for specifying the setpoint within the control loop of the actuators 7.
