Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Übergang zwischen zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeugen, umfassend einen Balg sowie eine Übergangsbrücke mit mindestens einem sich parallel zur Balglängsachse erstreckenden Arm, wobei der Arm mit seinem Ende in vertikaler Richtung elastisch schwenkbar an dem Wagenkasten des einen Fahrzeugs befestigbar ist.The present invention relates to a transition between two articulated vehicles, comprising a bellows and a transition bridge with at least one parallel to the Balglängsachse extending arm, wherein the arm is elastically pivotally mounted with its end in the vertical direction on the car body of a vehicle.

Zum Kuppeln von Fahrzeugen ist bislang Stand der Technik, dass beim eigentlichen Kupplungsvorgang und hier insbesondere beim Verbinden der Fahrzeugteile durch den Balg immer eine Person mit vorgesehen ist, die den Balg gegebenenfalls so weit anhebt, dass der Balg von den entsprechenden Kuppelgliedem am anderen Fahrzeug erfasst und fixiert werden kann.For the coupling of vehicles so far state of the art that in the actual coupling process and in particular when connecting the vehicle parts through the bellows always a person is provided, which If necessary, raises the bellows so far that the bellows can be grasped and fixed by the corresponding coupling elements on the other vehicle.
Nun ist aus der bereits zitierten
Von den Betreibern öffentlicher Nahverkehrsmittel wird in jüngster Zeit allerdings der Wunsch geäußert, den Kupplungsvorgang im Wesentlichen automatisch ablaufen zu lassen. In diesem Zusammenhang muss demzufolge sichergestellt sein, dass der Balg beim Zusammenfahren der beiden Fahrzeuge eine Stellung derart einnimmt, dass eine automatische Kupplung auch des Balges möglich ist. Gleichzeitig ist sicherzustellen, dass der Balg beim Kupplungsvorgang nicht zurückweicht, sondern eine gewisse Steifigkeit aufbringt, was Voraussetzung dafür ist, dass der Kupplungsvorgang automatisiert ablaufen kann. Entsprechende Mittel, um den Balg in Fahrzeugslängsrichtung gesehen steif zu gestalten, sind aus dem Stand der Technik und hier insbesondere aus der
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Übergang der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, der eine automatische Kupplung mit einem anderen Fahrzeug gegebenenfalls auch mit einem anderen Balg oder Balgteil ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a transition of the type mentioned, which optionally allows an automatic coupling with another vehicle with another bellows or bellows.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das andere Ende des Armes den Balg in etwa in einer horizontalen Ausrichtung hält, dass der Arm zwei Armglieder umfasst, die endseitig jeweils ein Gelenk mit im Einbauzustand vertikaler Gelenkachse aufweisen; wobei zumindest zwei der vertikal ausgerichteten Gelenkachsen des Armes als Metall-Elastomer (Gummi-Metall-Lager) ausgebildet sind. Hieraus wird deutlich, dass der Arm zwei Aufgaben erfüllt:
Zum einen wird durch den Arm sichergestellt, dass der Balg in im Wesentlichen horizontaler Position im entkuppelten Zustand verbleibt, wobei durch den Arm, der eine gewisse Steifigkeit in sich aufweist, sichergestellt ist, dass der Balg beim Kupplungsvorgang nicht zurückweicht.The object is achieved in that the other end of the arm holds the bellows in approximately a horizontal orientation that the arm comprises two arm members, each end a joint with in the Have installed state of vertical hinge axis; wherein at least two of the vertically oriented hinge axes of the arm as a metal elastomer (rubber-metal bearings) are formed. From this it is clear that the arm fulfills two tasks:
Firstly, it is ensured by the arm that the bellows remains in a substantially horizontal position in the uncoupled state, whereby it is ensured by the arm, which has a certain rigidity in it, that the bellows does not recede during the coupling process.
Vorteilhaft ist hierbei der eine Arm in der Mittellängsachse des Fahrzeugs am Wagenkasten angeordnet, In der Mittelängsachse des Fahrzeugs wird der Arm beim Betrieb des Fahrzeugs im Wesentlichen nicht gestaucht oder gelängt.In this case, one arm in the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle is advantageously arranged on the vehicle body. In the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the arm is not substantially compressed or elongated during operation of the vehicle.
Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous features of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Wie bereits ausgeführt, ist der Arm in vertikaler Richtung elastisch schwenkbar an dem Wagenkasten des einen Fahrzeugs angeordnet. Durch die Verschwenkbarkeit des Armes in vertikaler Richtung ist die Überbrückung gewisser Toleranzen sowohl in vertikaler als auch in horizontaler Richtung möglich. Eine Verschwenkbarkeit in vertikaler Richtung ermöglicht auch die Tolerierung von Bewegungsabläufen, wie sie bei Wank-, Nick- und Knickbewegungen der Fahrzeuge relativ zueinander auftreten. Zur elastisch schwenkbaren Aufnahme des Armes ist im Einzelnen ein am Wagenkasten angeordneter Lagerbock vorgesehen, wobei der Lagerbock eine umlaufende Schale aus elastischem Material aufweist, wobei die Schale ein Auge zur Aufnahme einer horizontal verlaufenden Achse aufweist, wobei die Achse in dem Auge der Schale unverdrehbar befestigt ist. Ein solches Lager in Form eines Lagerbockes ist auch unter dem Begriff "Gummi-Metall-Lager" bekannt. Bei derartigen Gummi-Metall-Lagern ist eine Achse vorgesehen, die mit der Schale, beispielsweise einem Elastomer, durch Vulkanisation verbunden ist. Zusätzlich kann die Achse als Vieleck ausgebildet sein, um eine sichere Verbindung zwischen der Achse einerseits und der Schale aus einem Elastomermaterial andererseits bereitzustellen. Das heißt, die elastische Verschwenkbarkeit wird im Wesentlichen dadurch bereitgestellt, dass die Schale in sich, da sie aus einem Elastomer besteht, nachgiebig ist.As already stated, the arm is arranged in the vertical direction elastically pivotable on the car body of a vehicle. Due to the pivotability of the arm in the vertical direction, the bridging certain tolerances in both the vertical and in the horizontal direction is possible. A pivoting in the vertical direction also allows the tolerance of movements, as they occur in rolling, pitching and bending movements of the vehicles relative to each other. For elastically pivotable mounting of the arm a bearing block arranged on the car body is provided in detail, wherein the bearing block has a circumferential shell of elastic material, wherein the shell has an eye for receiving a horizontally extending axis, wherein the axis fixed in the eye of the shell non-rotatable is. Such a bearing in the form of a bearing block is Also known by the term "rubber-metal bearings". In such rubber-metal bearings, an axle is provided which is connected to the shell, for example an elastomer, by vulcanization. In addition, the axis may be formed as a polygon to provide a secure connection between the axis on the one hand and the shell of an elastomeric material on the other. That is, the elastic pivotability is provided substantially by the fact that the shell is compliant in that it consists of an elastomer.
Im Einzelnen weist hierbei der Lagerbock eine die Schale umfassende Lasche auf, die mit einer Lagerplatte verbunden ist, wobei der Lagerbock durch die Lasche und die Lagerplatte mit dem Wagenkasten verbindbar ist. Durch die Lasche in Verbindung mit der Lagerplatte wird die Schale aus einem Elastomer vorgespannt gehalten, so dass das Maß der elastischen Verschwenkbarkeit in vertikaler Richtung durch die Größe der Vorspannkraft einstellbar ist.Specifically, in this case, the bearing block on a comprehensive tab shell, which is connected to a bearing plate, wherein the bearing block through the tab and the bearing plate with the car body is connectable. Through the tab in conjunction with the bearing plate, the shell is held biased by an elastomer, so that the degree of elastic pivotability in the vertical direction is adjustable by the size of the biasing force.
Nach einem weiteren besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Arm mindestens ein Gelenk mit einer im Einbauzustand vertikalen Gelenkachse aufweist. Das heißt, dass der Arm zwei Armglieder besitzt, wodurch erreicht wird, dass der Arm auch in horizontaler Richtung in seiner Länge veränderbar ist. Dies vor folgendem Hintergrund:
- Wird lediglich ein Arm verwandt und wird der Arm in der Mittellängsachse des Fahrzeugs an dem Wagenkasten des einen Fahrzeugs angeordnet, so ändert sich bei Kurvenfahrten des Fahrzeugs der Abstand zwischen den beiden Fahrzeugen im Wesentlichen nicht. Minimale Änderungen hinsichtlich der Länge auf Grund von Nick- oder Wankbewegungen werden durch das Gummi-Metall-Lager aufgenommen. Es hat sich allerdings herausgestellt, dass beim Kupplungsvorgang durchaus die Möglichkeit einer gewissen Längenänderung von Vorteil ist, wenn die beiden miteinander zu kuppelnden Fahrzeuge einander so weit nähern, dass der Arm gestaucht würde. Durch einen Arm mit zwei Armgliedern, die durch eine vertikale Gelenkachse miteinander verbunden sind, wird nun die Möglichkeit eröffnet, dass der Arm zur Verkürzung seiner Länge seitlich ausweichen kann. Dies ist insbesondere auch dann von Vorteil, wenn nicht lediglich ein Arm zur horizontalen Ausrichtung des Balges vorgesehen, sondern zwei oder mehr Arme, wobei bei beispielsweise vier Armen im Bereich einer jeden Ecke ein solcher Arm vorgesehen ist. Insbesondere bei Kurvenfahrten ist dann erforderlich, dass sich der jeweilige Arm verlängern aber auch verkürzen können muss.
- If only one arm is used and if the arm is arranged in the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle on the vehicle body of a vehicle, the distance between the two vehicles essentially does not change during cornering of the vehicle. Minimal changes in length due to pitch or roll are absorbed by the rubber-metal bearing. However, it has been found that the possibility of a certain change in length is quite advantageous in the coupling process when the two vehicles to be coupled together approach each other so far that the arm would be compressed. An arm with two arm links connected by a vertical hinge axis now opens the possibility for the arm to move laterally to shorten its length. This is particularly advantageous if not only one arm for horizontal alignment of the bellows provided, but two or more arms, wherein, for example, four arms in the region of each corner, such an arm is provided. Especially when cornering is then necessary that the respective arm lengthen but also must be able to shorten.
Um nun sicherzustellen, dass beim Kupplungsvorgang ein solcher mit zwei Armgliedern versehener Arm die erforderliche Steifigkeit aufweist, ist der Arm in horizontaler Richtung vorgespannt. Das bedeutet, dass der Arm eine gewisse Steifigkeit aufweist, wobei er bei entsprechender Krafteinwirkung durchaus in der Lage ist, ohne Zerstörung anderer Bauteile dieser Krafteinwirkung durch Ausknicken nachzugeben.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist vorgesehen, dass die beiden Armglieder endseitig jeweils ein Gelenk mit im Einbauzustand vertikaler Gelenkachse aufweisen, wobei die zumindest zwei vertikal ausgerichteten Gelenkachsen des Armes ebenfalls als Gummi-Metall-Lager ausgebildet sind, wie dies oben beschrieben wurde. Das heißt, die beiden Arme sind durch zwei Lager miteinander verbunden, wie sie bereits aus der Anlenkung des Armes an dem Fahrzeugkasten bekannt sind. Der einzige Unterschied ist der Einbauzustand dieser beiden miteinander verbundenen Lager relativ zu dem Lagerbock, der am Wagenkasten befestigt ist. Denn die Lager an den beiden Armgliedern sind um 90° Grad gegenüber dem Lagerbock verdreht. Im Einzelnen ist hierbei weiterhin vorgesehen, dass jeweils die die Schale aus einem Elastomer umfassende Lasche mit einer Lagerplatte verbunden ist, wobei die beiden Lagerplatten eines jedes Lagers wiederum miteinander verbunden sind.To ensure that in the coupling process such arm provided with two arm members has the required rigidity, the arm is biased in the horizontal direction. This means that the arm has a certain rigidity, where he at appropriate Force is quite able to yield without destroying other components of this force by buckling.
In this context, it is provided that the two arm members each have a joint with a vertical axis of articulation in the installed state, wherein the at least two vertically oriented hinge axes of the arm are also formed as rubber-metal bearings, as described above. That is, the two arms are connected by two bearings, as they are already known from the articulation of the arm to the vehicle body. The only difference is the installation condition of these two interconnected bearings relative to the bearing block, which is attached to the car body. Because the bearings on the two arm members are rotated by 90 ° degrees relative to the bearing block. Specifically, it is further provided that each of the shell comprising an elastomer strap is connected to a bearing plate, wherein the two bearing plates of each bearing are in turn connected to each other.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung weist der Arm an seinem freien Ende einen Auflaufschlitten auf, wobei der Wagenkasten des anderen Fahrzeugs eine Auflauframpe für den Schlitten aufweist, so dass sich der Auflaufschlitten auf der Rampe abstützt. Diese Auflauframpe in Verbindung mit dem Schlitten dient zum einen dazu, während der Verbindung der beiden Fahrzeuge miteinander den Arm zu entlasten, sie dient allerdings auch dazu, den Balg beim Kupplungsvorgang derart in der Höhe auszurichten, dass sichergestellt ist, dass die einzelnen Kuppelglieder sowohl am Wagenkasten als auch an der Stirnseite des Kuppelrahmens des Balges ineinander greifen können. Vorzugsweise besitzt der Schlitten eine Rolle, um den Auflauf des Schlittens auf die Rampe zu erleichtern.According to a further feature of the invention, the arm at its free end on a run-on carriage, wherein the car body of the other vehicle has a ramp for the carriage, so that the run-up carriage is supported on the ramp. This ramp in conjunction with the carriage on the one hand serves to relieve the arm during the connection of the two vehicles with each other, but it also serves to align the bellows during the coupling process in height so as to ensure that the individual coupling elements on both Car body as well as on the front side of the coupling frame of the bellows can interlock. Preferably, the carriage has a role to facilitate the emergence of the carriage on the ramp.
Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass die Übergangsbrücke zwei einander überlappende Bodenbleche umfasst. Wie bereits an anderer Stelle ausgeführt, besitzt der Balg stirnseitig einen Kuppelrahmen zur Kupplung mit dem anderen Wagenkasten, wobei der Kuppelrahmen und korrespondierend der Wagenkasten Zentrier- und Verschlussmittel für den eigentlichen Kupplungsvorgang aufweist.Furthermore, it is provided that the transition bridge comprises two overlapping floor panels. As already stated elsewhere, the bellows has frontally a coupling frame for coupling with the other car body, wherein the coupling frame and corresponding to the car body centering and locking means for the actual coupling operation.
