Description

Dispositif de retenue en position relative des plates- formes d'extrémité d'un wagon de transport combiné rail/route lors des manoeuvres de chargement/déchargemen . Device for retaining in relative position the end platforms of a combined rail / road transport wagon during loading / unloading operations.
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif permettant la retenue en position relative des plates-formes d'extrémité d'un wagon de transport combiné rail/route lorsque la structure ferroviaire porteuse de la charge routière est en manoeuvre de pivotement en vue de son chargement ou de son déchargement.The present invention relates to a device allowing the retention in relative position of the end platforms of a combined rail / road transport wagon when the railway structure carrying the road load is in pivoting maneuver for loading. or its unloading.
Les wagons relatifs au transport combiné rail/route à structure porteuse pivotante comportent deux plates-formes d'extrémité supportées par des bogies ferroviaires sur lesquelles est montée par des liaisons d'assemblage dissociable la structure ferroviaire porteuse de la charge routière.The wagons relating to combined rail / road transport with a pivoting carrying structure comprise two end platforms supported by rail bogies on which is mounted by dissociable assembly links the rail structure carrying the road load.
Le maintien de la position de ces plates- formes d'extrémité s'avère primordial pour assurer la coïncidence, l'enclenchement et la fermeture des liaisons d'assemblage dissociable entre la structure porteuse et les plates-formes d'extrémité et de recréer ainsi l'intégrité du wagon après les phases de chargement et de déchargement.Maintaining the position of these end platforms is essential to ensure the coincidence, engagement and closing of the dissociable assembly links between the supporting structure and the end platforms and thus to recreate the integrity of the wagon after the loading and unloading phases.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient limitant la course de pivotement et entraînant une fabrication plus complexe au niveau des liaisons entre la structure porteuse et les plates-formes d'extrémité, deux alternatives s'offraient aux constructeurs.To overcome this drawback limiting the pivoting stroke and causing more complex manufacturing at the connections between the support structure and the end platforms, two alternatives were available to manufacturers.
La première concerne des moyens au sol, c'est-à-dire intégrés dans la voie ferroviaire qui ont pour but d'immobiliser les plates-formes d'extrémité en les retenant en place par une liaison temporaire avec la voie. Cette solution présente un coût qui ne permet pas de la proposer dans un système compétitif.The first relates to means on the ground, that is to say integrated into the rail track which are intended to immobilize the end platforms by retaining them in place by a temporary connection with the track. This solution has a cost which does not allow it to be offered in a competitive system.
La seconde consiste à intégrer les plates- formes d'extrémité dans une structure porteuse appelée double plancher ou un moyen équivalent par laquelle passent tous les efforts représentés par la charge et la traction. Au dessus de cette structure porteuse est monté pivotant autour d'un pivot un autre plancher porté par exemple par des moyens de roulement en contact avec la face supérieure de la structure porteuse qui supporte ainsi toute la charge. Cette structure porteuse assure une liaison mécanique permanente avec les plates-formes d'extrémité et garantit le maintien en position relative de celles-ci lors des mouvements de dissociation du wagon liés aux opérations de chargement/déchargement.The second is to integrate the platforms end forms in a load-bearing structure called a double floor or an equivalent means through which pass all the forces represented by the load and the traction. Above this support structure is pivotally mounted around a pivot another floor carried for example by rolling means in contact with the upper face of the support structure which thus supports the entire load. This supporting structure provides a permanent mechanical connection with the end platforms and guarantees that the latter are kept in relative position during the movements of the wagon being disassociated from the loading / unloading operations.
Outre le renchérissement notable de l'ensemble du wagon, la structure porteuse représente une masse et une épaisseur conséquentes prises sur les caractéristiques générales et dimensionnelles du wagon.In addition to the significant increase in cost of the entire wagon, the load-bearing structure represents a substantial mass and thickness taken from the general and dimensional characteristics of the wagon.
En particulier, l'épaisseur de cette structure porteuse diminue la hauteur utile de chargement qui risque de ne plus s'inscrire dans le gabarit ferroviaire.In particular, the thickness of this supporting structure decreases the useful loading height, which risks no longer fitting into the railway gauge.
Par ailleurs, cette structure porteuse assurant le passage des canalisations, des conduits et des câbles permettant le transfert des fluides d'énergie et de commande et l'alimentation électrique des structures et équipements, ne peut être supprimée facilement.Furthermore, this supporting structure ensuring the passage of pipes, conduits and cables allowing the transfer of energy and control fluids and the electrical supply of structures and equipment, cannot be easily removed.
L'invention a pour but d'assurer la retenue en position relative initiale des plates-formes d'extrémité pendant les phases de chargement/déchargement tout en permettant l'utilisation de la totalité du gabarit ferroviaire et le passage des câbles et des conduits.The invention aims to ensure the retention in the initial relative position of the end platforms during the loading / unloading phases while allowing the use of the entire railway gauge and the passage of cables and conduits.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de maintien en position relative des plates- formes d ' extrémité d ' un wagon de transport combiné rail/route utilisant une structure ferroviaire porteuse pivotante en vue des opérations de chargement/déchargement en oblique par rapport à la direction longitudinale du wagon tout en utilisant la totalité du gabarit ferroviaire, caractérisé en ce que les plates- formes d'extrémité sont reliées mécaniquement entre elles en position basse par un élément longitudinal de liaison de longueur constante garantissant le maintien en position relative des plates-formes d'extrémité, c'est-à-dire à une distance constante l'une de l'autre lors du retour de la structure ferroviaire porteuse après son chargement ou son déchargement en oblique.To this end, the invention relates to a device for holding the end platforms of a combined rail / road transport wagon in relative position using a carrying railway structure. pivotable for loading / unloading operations obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the wagon while using the entire railway gauge, characterized in that the end platforms are mechanically connected together in the low position by an element longitudinal link of constant length ensuring that the end platforms are kept in relative position, that is to say at a constant distance from each other when the load-bearing railway structure returns after loading, or its unloading obliquely.

Le dispositif de retenue et de liaison selon l'invention se compose d'une liaison mécanique de longueur constante sous la forme d'un élément longitudinal de liaison 1 reliant entre elles à un niveau bas deux plates-formes d'extrémité 2 et 3 supportées chacune par au moins un bogie ferroviaire 4 ou 5. Cet élément longitudinal de liaison 1 est fixé ou articulé par chacune de ses extrémités à une plate- forme correspondante d'extrémité 2 ou 3 à un niveau bas.The retaining and connecting device according to the invention consists of a mechanical connection of constant length in the form of a longitudinal connecting element 1 connecting together at a low level two end platforms 2 and 3 supported each by at least one rail bogie 4 or 5. This longitudinal connecting element 1 is fixed or articulated by each of its ends to a corresponding end platform 2 or 3 at a low level.
Cet élément longitudinal de liaison 1 n'a pas d'autre but principal que de relier mécaniquement les deux plates-formes d'extrémité entre elles afin de les retenir dans leur position initiale pendant les phases de chargement et de déchargement.This longitudinal connecting element 1 has no other main purpose than to mechanically connect the two end platforms together so as to retain them in their initial position during the loading and unloading phases.
Il s'applique principalement à un wagon de transport combiné rail/route constitué de deux plates- formes d'extrémité 2 et 3 reliées à une structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 dissociable et pivotante qui transmet tous les efforts de traction et les différents efforts en jeu lors du roulage d'une plate-forme d'extrémité à l'autre.It mainly applies to a wagon of combined rail / road transport consisting of two end platforms 2 and 3 connected to a carrier rail structure 6 which can be separated and pivoted which transmits all the traction forces and the various forces involved when rolling a platform d 'end to end.
Ainsi, l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 peut être réalisé avec une faible épaisseur pour ne pas pénaliser les dimensions utiles de chargement par rapport au gabarit ferroviaire.Thus, the longitudinal connecting element 1 can be made with a small thickness so as not to penalize the useful loading dimensions with respect to the railway gauge.
En effet, il n'est soumis qu'à son propre poids et aux éventuelles forces d' eloignement et de rapprochement des plates-formes lorsque la structure porteuse est dissociée. Cette structure porteuse pivotante présente un plancher porteur 7 à fond 8 plat ou autrement conformé.Indeed, it is only subject to its own weight and to the possible forces of distance and approximation of the platforms when the carrying structure is dissociated. This pivoting support structure has a support floor 7 with a flat bottom 8 or otherwise shaped.
Dans une première réalisation, non représentée, cet élément longitudinal de liaison 1 reste en saillie à l'extérieur du plancher 7.In a first embodiment, not shown, this longitudinal connecting element 1 remains projecting outside the floor 7.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation que l'on développera ci-après, il vient se loger dans un logement longitudinal en retrait 9 en forme de tunnel 10 équipant ou formé dans le plancher 7 de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6.According to another embodiment which will be developed below, it is housed in a recessed longitudinal housing 9 in the form of a tunnel 10 fitted or formed in the floor 7 of the carrying railway structure 6.
En raison de sa longueur et de la faible épaisseur de sa section, cet élément longitudinal de liaison 1 a tendance à fléchir vers le bas dans sa partie centrale. Cette flexion provoquant un dépassement vers le bas pouvant mettre l'ensemble hors gabarit, il convient de rappeler cet élément vers le haut dans sa partie centrale 11, par exemple par une fixation simple ou une suspension en partie centrale inférieure de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6. De façon préférentielle, pour gagner sur le gabarit ferroviaire, on prévoit d'encastrer l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 dans un logement en retrait 9 en forme de tunnel central longitudinal 10 formé dans le plancher 7 de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6. Ce tunnel 10 permet aussi de faire passer les conduits de fluide sous pression et les câbles de liaison électrique d'une plate-forme d'extrémité 2 ou 3 à 1 ' autre.Due to its length and the small thickness of its section, this longitudinal connecting element 1 tends to bend downwards in its central part. This bending causing a downward overshoot which can put the assembly out of shape, it is necessary to recall this element upwards in its central part 11, for example by a simple fixing or a suspension in the lower central part of the carrying railway structure 6 Preferably, to gain on the railway gauge, provision is made to embed the longitudinal connecting element 1 in a recessed housing 9 in the form of a longitudinal central tunnel 10 formed in the floor 7 of the carrying railway structure 6. This tunnel 10 also makes it possible to pass the fluid conduits under pressure and the electrical connection cables from an end platform 2 or 3 to 1 'other.
Cet élément longitudinal de liaison 1 remplit sa fonction principale de retenue en position relative des plates-formes d'extrémité 2 et 3 dans leur position relative initiale lors des manoeuvres de chargement/déchargement pour assurer la rapidité et la commodité de 1 ' assemblage entre les plates-formes d ' extrémité et les extrémités de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 dans tous les cas de position du centre de pivotement de celle-ci.This longitudinal connecting element 1 fulfills its main function of retaining in relative position the end platforms 2 and 3 in their initial relative position during the loading / unloading maneuvers to ensure the speed and convenience of assembly between the end platforms and the ends of the carrying railway structure 6 in all cases of position of the pivot center thereof.
En effet, l'invention vise non seulement les structures ferroviaires 6 pivotant autour de leur centre mais aussi celles pivotant au niveau d'une de leurs extrémités ou en un endroit quelconque. L'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 remplit une deuxième fonction technique lorsque l'axe de pivotement est central. Il s'agit de supporter un centre de pivotement 12.In fact, the invention is aimed not only at railway structures 6 pivoting around their center but also those pivoting at one of their ends or at any location. The longitudinal connecting element 1 fulfills a second technical function when the pivot axis is central. This involves supporting a pivot center 12.
De ce fait, pour le type de variante à logement en tunnel, la partie centrale 11 de cet élément de liaison 1, dont un exemple est représenté sur les figures de 6 à 10, devient plus complexe.Therefore, for the type of variant with tunnel housing, the central part 11 of this connecting element 1, an example of which is shown in Figures 6 to 10, becomes more complex.
Sur cet exemple, la partie centrale 11 remplit trois fonctions simultanément, à savoir celle d'assurer la fixation de l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 à la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6, celle de supporter le centre de pivotement 12 autour duquel pivote la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 et finalement celle en coopération avec des moyens associés de réaliser le désengagement de l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 de son logement 9 prévu en retrait sous la forme du tunnel 10 prévu dans le plancher 7 de la structure ferroviaire porteuse.In this example, the central part 11 fulfills three functions simultaneously, namely that of securing the longitudinal connecting element 1 to the carrying railway structure 6, that of supporting the pivot center 12 around which the railway structure pivots carrier 6 and finally that in cooperation with associated means of carrying out the disengagement of the longitudinal connecting element 1 from its housing 9 recessed in the form of the tunnel 10 provided in the floor 7 of the supporting railway structure.
Il s'agit d'un ensemble complexe de liaison que l'on peut qualifier aussi de dégagement-pivotement 13. Plus précisément et en prenant comme exemple le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 6 et 7, la partie centrale 11 de l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 est suspendue sur la face supérieure du tunnel 10 de plancher de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6. A cet effet, une lame métallique 14 de suspension bombée à effet de ressort est montée immobilisée en butée à chacune de ses extrémités par trois points fixes le long desquels elle peut bouger par ses bords longitudinaux et le long d'une fente longitudi- nale centrale de guidage 15 et 16 existant de part et d'autre d'une zone centrale médiane transversale.It is a complex connection assembly which can also be described as release-pivoting 13. More precisely and taking as an example the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the central part 11 of the longitudinal connecting element 1 is suspended on the upper face of the tunnel 10 from the floor of the carrying railway structure 6. For this purpose, a metal blade 14 of domed suspension with spring effect is mounted immobilized in abutment at each of its ends by three fixed points along which it can move by its longitudinal edges and along a central longitudinal guide slot 15 and 16 existing on either side of a central transverse central zone.
Le bombé de cette lame laisse libre un espace 17 de débattement situé entre la face supérieure du logement en tunnel 10 et la face en regard de ladite lame métallique de suspension 14.The curved shape of this blade leaves a clearance space 17 between the upper face of the tunnel housing 10 and the opposite face of said metal suspension blade 14.
Cet espace 17 de débattement est occupé par un ensemble moteur de dégagement 18 par exemple à énergie pneumatique comprenant une paire de soufflets pneumatiques 19 et 20 comme représenté. Cette lame métallique de suspension 14 porte à travers l'ensemble moteur 18 de dégagement un centre de pivotement 21 par exemple sous la forme d'un bloc- pivot 22 sur lequel est fixé par sa partie centrale l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 par exemple par des vis telles que 23 formant ainsi un ensemble complexe de liaison entre le plancher et l'élément de liaison 1.This clearance space 17 is occupied by a release motor assembly 18, for example with pneumatic energy, comprising a pair of pneumatic bellows 19 and 20 as shown. This metal suspension blade 14 carries through the motor assembly 18 a pivoting center 21 for example in the form of a pivot block 22 on which is fixed by its central part the longitudinal connecting element 1 for example by screws such as 23 thus forming a complex connection assembly between the floor and the connection element 1.
Comme on le verra ci-après, il ne s'exerce sur ce centre de pivotement aucune force sensible en raison du maintien de la structure ferroviaire porteuse par les plates-formes d'extrémité 2 et 3 au travers de ces bras pendant toutes les phases de manoeuvre et pendant le transport. Ainsi, la résistance mécanique du centre de pivotement et des éléments voisins n'a pas besoin d'être importante.As will be seen below, there is no appreciable force exerted on this pivot center due to the fact that the supporting railway structure is maintained by the end platforms 2 and 3 through these arms during all the phases maneuver and during transport. Thus, the mechanical strength of the pivot center and neighboring elements need not be large.
En ce qui concerne 1 ' élément longitudinal de liaison 1, sa structure est mince et diverses formes de section sont possibles, depuis des formes à section rectangulaire telles que représenté sur la figure 2, jusqu'à des formes minces nervurées ou pliées dont quelques exemples sont représentés sur les figures 11 à 13. La forme particulière montrée par la figureAs regards the longitudinal connecting element 1, its structure is thin and various shapes of section are possible, from shapes with rectangular section as shown in FIG. 2, to thin ribbed or folded shapes, some examples of which are shown in Figures 11 to 13. The particular shape shown in the figure
11 sera préférée. Il s'agit d'une forme générale plate dont les bords longitudinaux sont conformés en tubes creux 24 et 25, par exemple de section circulaire, servant de canalisation pour les fluides sous pression soit directement, soit comme espace de protection et de passage pour des conduits simples ou des câbles électriques ou autres.11 will be preferred. It is a generally flat shape, the longitudinal edges of which are shaped into hollow tubes 24 and 25, for example of circular section, serving as a pipe for pressurized fluids either directly or as a protection and passage space for simple conduits or electrical or other cables.
Ces liaisons fluidiques ou électriques, d'énergie ou de commande trouvent ainsi un passage longitudinal approprié non gênant et parfaitement intégré.These fluidic or electrical, energy or control connections thus find an appropriate longitudinal passage that is not bothersome and perfectly integrated.
De plus, ces bords longitudinaux apportent un supplément de rigidité mécanique à l'ensemble, permettant ainsi de diminuer encore l'épaisseur de section de l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1.In addition, these longitudinal edges provide additional mechanical rigidity to the assembly, thus making it possible to further reduce the section thickness of the longitudinal connecting element 1.
D'autres conformations à pliages longitudinaux 26 et 27 ou à courbure de renforcement concave 28, sont également possibles. Un exemple de chacune de ces variantes est représenté sur les figures 12 et 13.Other conformations with longitudinal folds 26 and 27 or with concave reinforcement curvature 28 are also possible. An example of each of these variants is shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.
De façon générale, l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 est de préférence sensiblement plat et mince.In general, the longitudinal connecting element 1 is preferably substantially flat and thin.
Les extrémités de l'élément de liaison 1 peuvent affecter une forme en deux branches divergentes en deux branches divergentes par exemple en Y pour le passage de moyens de levage et d'entraînement en pivotement montés sur la voie. L'ouverture des branches de chaque extrémité de l'élément de liaison 1 peut varier jusqu'à une ouverture maximale selon laquelle les extrémités viennent porter sur les extrémités adjacentes inférieures des flancs des plates-formes d ' extrémité 2 et 3 en vue de coopérer avec des organes de la liaison dissociable ou de fixation prévus à ce niveau.The ends of the connecting element 1 can have a shape in two divergent branches into two divergent branches, for example in Y for the passage of lifting and pivoting drive means mounted on the track. Opening branches of each end of the connecting element 1 can vary up to a maximum opening according to which the ends come to bear on the lower adjacent ends of the sides of the end platforms 2 and 3 in order to cooperate with members of the separable or fixing link provided at this level.
De plus, il est prévu d'alléger l'élément de liaison 1 par des perforations ou des ouvertures dans son plan comme représenté.In addition, provision is made to lighten the connecting element 1 by perforations or openings in its plane as shown.
Bien d'autres formes de réalisation sont possibles. Elles entrent toutes dans le domaine de protection de l'invention dans la mesure où elles remplissent la fonction générale de retenir en position les plates-formes d'extrémité lors des mouvements de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 au cours des phases de chargement et de déchargement.Many other embodiments are possible. They all come within the scope of protection of the invention insofar as they fulfill the general function of retaining the end platforms in position during the movements of the carrying railway structure 6 during the loading and unloading phases. .
Le fonctionnement d'ensemble de l'invention est le suivant. Lorsque la structure ferroviaire porteuse est amenée à pivoter pour les phases de chargement et de déchargement, avant tout mouvement de pivotement, on actionne l'ensemble moteur 18 de dégagement à soufflets qui, en se gonflant et en prenant appui sur la voûte du logement 9 en tunnel 10, forcent la lame bombée 14 à se bomber davantage et donc à s'éloigner de la voûte du tunnel. Celle-ci, en se bombant davantage, parcourt une course d'écartement qui suffit à dégager ou à extraire l'élément longitudinal de liaison de son logement 9 en tunnel 10. La structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 peut alors pivoter librement autour de son centre de pivotement matérialisé ici par le bloc-pivot 22 monté sur la partie centrale 11 de l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1.The overall operation of the invention is as follows. When the supporting railway structure is made to pivot for the loading and unloading phases, before any pivoting movement, the motor assembly 18 of bellows release is actuated which, by inflating and resting on the roof of the housing 9 in tunnel 10, force the curved blade 14 to bulge more and therefore to move away from the roof of the tunnel. The latter, by bulging more, traverses a spacing stroke which is sufficient to release or extract the longitudinal connecting element from its housing 9 in the tunnel 10. The carrying railway structure 6 can then pivot freely around its center. pivoting materialized here by the pivot block 22 mounted on the central part 11 of the longitudinal connecting element 1.
Lors du retour de la structure ferroviaire porteuse 6 et après assemblage de celle-ci avec les plates-formes d'extrémité restées en position grâce à l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1, la succession inverse de mouvements se produit. Les soufflets de 1 ' ensemble moteur de dégagement 18 se dégonflent et l'élément longitudinal de liaison 1 entre dans son logement 9 en forme de tunnel 10 sous l'effet de la force élastique de rappel de la lame métallique de suspension. Upon the return of the carrying railway structure 6 and after assembly of the latter with the end platforms remaining in position thanks to the longitudinal connecting element 1, the succession reverse of movements occurs. The bellows of the disengaging motor assembly 18 deflate and the longitudinal connecting element 1 enters its housing 9 in the form of a tunnel 10 under the effect of the elastic return force of the metal suspension blade.
