Description

Fahrzeug mit gelenkig verbundenen Wagenkästen Vehicle with articulated car bodies
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Schienenfahrzeug, mit einem ersten Wagenkasten, einem zweiten Wagenkasten und einem Fahrwerk, wobei das Fahrwerk im Bereich der einander benachbarten Enden der beiden Wagenkästen angeordnet ist, der erste Wagenkasten und der zweite Wagenkasten im Bereich ihrer einander benachbarten Enden zumindest um eine in Richtung der Hochachse des Fahrzeugs verlaufende Schwenkachse schwenkbar verbunden sind und der erste Wagenkasten über eine erste Gelenkeinrichtung um eine in Richtung der Hochachse des Fahrzeugs verlaufende erste Schwenkachse schwenkbar mit dem Fahrwerk verbunden und auf dem Fahrwerk abgestützt ist.The present invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, with a first car body, a second car body and a chassis, wherein the chassis is arranged in the region of the adjacent ends of the two car bodies, the first car body and the second car body in the region of their adjacent Ends are at least pivotally connected about a pivot axis extending in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle and the first car body is pivotally connected via a first hinge means about a running in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle first pivot axis with the chassis and supported on the chassis.
Bei einer Reihe von Schienenfahrzeugen stützen sich benachbarte Wagenkästen auf einem gemeinsamen so genannten Jacobs-Drehgestell ab. Für die Abstützung und Anlenkung der Wagenkästen am Drehgesteil werden dabei häufig zweistufige Drehkränze oder separate bzw. gemeinsame Drehzapfen verwendet, wie dies beispielsweise in der WO 03/011670 A1 beschrieben ist.In a number of rail vehicles, adjacent car bodies are based on a common so-called Jacobs bogie. For the support and articulation of the car bodies on the rotary part often two-stage slewing rings or separate or common pivot pins are used, as described for example in WO 03/011670 A1.
Insbesondere die bekannten Fahrzeuge mit Drehkränzen erlauben keine Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen, sodass zum einen beim Durchfahren von verwundenen Gleisabschnitten hohe Torsionsbelastungen in den Gelenken und den Wagenkästen entstehen.In particular, the known vehicles with turntables do not allow rolling movements between the two car bodies, so on the one hand when passing through twisted track sections high torsional loads in the joints and car bodies arise.
Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Fahrzeuge besteht darin, dass die Anbindung derAnother disadvantage of these vehicles is that the connection of the
Wagenkästen an das Drehgestell nicht nur die aus dem Drehgestell in den Wagenkasten eingeleiteten Lasten (Antriebs-, Brems- und Fliehkräfte) übernehmen muss, sondern auch die gegebenenfalls erheblich höheren Längsdruckkräfte zwischen den Wagenkästen aufnehmen und übertragen muss.Car bodies to the bogie not only the load introduced from the bogie in the car body (drive, braking and centrifugal forces) must take over, but also record and transmit the possibly significantly higher longitudinal compressive forces between the car bodies.
Beide Effekte bedingen eine vergleichsweise aufwändige Konstruktion der Anbindung der Wagenkästen an das Drehgestell sowie der Wagenkastenstruktur selbst.Both effects require a comparatively complex construction of the connection of the car bodies to the bogie and the car body structure itself.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Fahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches die oben genannten Nachteile nicht oder zumindest in geringerem Maße aufweist und insbesondere eine einfachere Konstruktion der Fahrwerksanbindung und der Wagenkästen selbst ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a vehicle of the type mentioned above, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above or at least to a lesser extent and in particular allows a simpler construction of the chassis connection and the car bodies themselves.
Die vorliegende Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe ausgehend von einem Fahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale.The present invention solves this problem starting from a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die technische Lehre zu Grunde, dass man eine einfachere Konstruktion der Fahrwerksanbindung und der Wagenkästen selbst erzielt, wenn man die in einer Einheit integrierte Wagenkastenverbindung und Fahrwerksanbindung auflöst, sodass nur einer der beiden Wagenkästen über eine Gelenkeinrichtung direkt am Fahrwerk angebunden wird, während die beiden Wagenkästen über eine separate weitere Gelenkeinrichtung miteinander verbunden werden. Über diese separate weitere Gelenkeinrichtung wird dann einer der Wagenkästen zunächst auf dem anderen Wagenkasten abgestützt, bevor über dessen Struktur dann die Einleitung ausschließlich der Stützkräfte in das Fahrwerk erfolgt, während die Längskräfte zwischen den Wagenkästen unmittelbar über die Wagenkästen und nicht über die Abstützung auf dem Fahrwerk laufen.The present invention is based on the technical teaching that one achieves a simpler construction of the chassis connection and the car bodies themselves, if one dissolves the integral in a unit car body connection and chassis connection, so that only one of the two car bodies is connected via a hinge device directly to the chassis, while the two car bodies are connected to each other via a separate further joint device. About this separate further joint device then one of the car bodies is first supported on the other car body, before the structure of the introduction then only the support forces in the chassis, while the longitudinal forces between the car bodies directly on the car bodies and not on the support on the chassis to run.
Diese Trennung der Verbindung der Wagenkästen und der Anbindung des Fahrwerks hat den Vorteil, dass die Anbindung des Fahrwerks in herkömmlicher Weise, beispielsweise wie für ein Endfahrwerk (auf dem sich nur ein Wagenkasten abstützt) erfolgen kann. Demgemäß können für diese Fahrwerksanbindung dieselben Bauteile wie für die Anbindung der übrigen Fahrwerke des Fahrzeugs verwendet werden.This separation of the connection of the car bodies and the connection of the chassis has the advantage that the connection of the chassis in a conventional manner, for example, as for a final landing gear (on which only a car body is supported) can take place. Accordingly, the same components as for the connection of the other chassis of the vehicle can be used for this chassis connection.
Weiterhin kann die Einheit, deren Wagenkasten unmittelbar an dem Fahrwerk angelenkt ist, gegebenenfalls fahrdynamisch wie ein herkömmliche Wageneinheit mit zwei Endfahrwerken betrachtet werden, was letztlich deren Auslegung vereinfacht.Furthermore, the unit, the car body is hinged directly to the chassis, possibly driving dynamics as a conventional car unit with two end bogies are considered, which ultimately simplifies their interpretation.
Schließlich lässt sich die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen, dank der funktionalen Trennung von der Fahrwerksanbindung in einfacher Weise so gestalten, dass Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen ermöglicht werden. Hierdurch reduzieren sich die Torsionsbelastungen der Wagenkästen (z. B. beim Durchfahren von verwundenen Gleisabschnitten), sodass diese ebenfalls einfacher gestaltet werden können.Finally, the connection between the two car bodies, thanks to the functional separation of the chassis connection can be designed in a simple manner so that rolling movements between the two car bodies are made possible. This reduces the torsional loads on the car bodies (eg when driving through twisted track sections), so that they can also be made simpler.
Gemäß einem Aspekt betrifft die Erfindung daher ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Schienenfahrzeug, mit einem ersten Wagenkasten, einem zweiten Wagenkasten und einem Fahrwerk, wobei das Fahrwerk im Bereich der einander benachbarten Enden der beiden Wagenkästen angeordnet ist und der erste Wagenkasten und der zweite Wagenkasten im Bereich ihrer einander benachbarten Enden zumindest um eine in Richtung der Hochachse des Fahrzeugs verlaufende Schwenkachse schwenkbar verbunden sind. Der erste Wagenkasten ist über eine erste Gelenkeinrichtung um eine in Richtung der Hochachse des Fahrzeugs verlaufende erste Schwenkachse schwenkbar mit dem Fahrwerk verbunden und auf dem Fahrwerk abgestützt. Der zweite Wagenkasten ist über eine zweite Gelenkeinrichtung um eine in Richtung der Hochachse des Fahrzeugs verlaufende zweite Schwenkachse schwenkbar mit dem ersten Wagenkasten verbunden und auf dem ersten Wagenkasten abgestützt.According to one aspect, the invention therefore relates to a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, with a first car body, a second car body and a chassis, wherein the chassis in the region of the adjacent ends of the two Car bodies is arranged and the first car body and the second car body are pivotally connected in the region of their adjacent ends at least about a pivot axis extending in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle. The first car body is pivotally connected via a first hinge device about a running in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle first pivot axis with the chassis and supported on the chassis. The second car body is pivotally connected via a second hinge means about a running in the direction of the vertical axis of the vehicle second pivot axis with the first car body and supported on the first car body.
Die erste Schwenkachse und die zweite Schwenkachse können grundsätzlich in beliebiger geeigneter Weise zueinander angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise sind diese beiden Schwenkachsen zueinander parallel ausgerichtet, wobei sie gegebenenfalls auch einen gewissen Abstand voneinander aufweisen können. Unter fahrdynamischen Aspekten ist es jedoch von Vorteil, wenn die beiden Schwenkachsen miteinander im Wesentlichen fluchten. Bevorzugt ist daher vorgesehen, dass die erste Schwenkachse und die zweiteThe first pivot axis and the second pivot axis can basically be arranged in any suitable manner to each other. Preferably, these two pivot axes are aligned parallel to each other, wherein they may optionally also have a certain distance from each other. Under driving dynamics aspects, however, it is advantageous if the two pivot axes are substantially aligned with each other. It is therefore preferably provided that the first pivot axis and the second
Schwenkachse im Ruhezustand des Fahrzeugs zueinander im Wesentlichen kollinear sind, da in diesem Fall die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen und die Anbindung des Fahrwerks kinematisch als ein einziges Gelenk betrachtet werden kann.Pivot axis in the resting state of the vehicle to each other are substantially collinear, since in this case, the connection between the two car bodies and the connection of the chassis can be considered kinematically as a single joint.
Die erste Gelenkeinrichtung und die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung können grundsätzlich in beliebiger geeigneter Weise zueinander angeordnet sein. Eine besonders einfach zu realisierende Konfiguration ergibt sich jedoch, wenn die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse oberhalb der ersten Gelenketnrichtung angeordnet ist. Hiermit können die bei der Abstützung des zweiten Wagenkastens wirkenden Stützkräfte in besonders einfacher Weise von dem ersten Wagenkasten aufgenommen und über die erste Gelenkeinrichtung in das Fahrwerk eingeleitet werden.The first joint device and the second joint device can basically be arranged in any suitable manner with respect to each other. However, a configuration that is particularly easy to implement results when the second articulation device is arranged in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis above the first articulated direction. Hereby, the supporting forces acting on the support of the second car body can be taken up in a particularly simple manner by the first car body and introduced into the chassis via the first joint device.
Die erste Gelenkeinrichtung kann auf besonders einfacher Weise gestaltet sein. Insbesondere kann sie wie die Gelenkeinrichtung für ein herkömmliches Endfahrwerk gestaltet sein, sodass innerhalb des Fahrzeugs gegebenenfalls derselbe Typ von Gelenkeinrichtung für alle Fahrwerksanbindungen verwendet werden kann, unter Umständen sogar identische Bauteile hierfür verwendet werden können. Vorzugsweise ist die erste Gelenkeinrichtung nach Art eines Drehkranzes oder eines Drehzapfengelenks ausgebildet, wie dies in hinlänglicher Weise z. B. für Endfahrwerke bekannt ist. Wie bereits oben erwähnt wurde, ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen ermöglicht, um eine Reduktion der Torsionsbelastung der Wagenkästen beim Durchfahren von verwundenen Gleisabschnitt zu erzielen, vorzugsweise ist daher vorgesehen, dass die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie eine Wankbewegung zwischen dem ersten Wagenkasten und den zweiten Wagenkasten um eine zur Fahrzeuglängsachse parallele Wankachse zulässt.The first hinge device can be designed in a particularly simple manner. In particular, it can be designed as the joint device for a conventional final landing gear, so that within the vehicle optionally the same type of joint device can be used for all chassis connections, under certain circumstances even identical components can be used for this purpose. Preferably, the first hinge device is formed in the manner of a turntable or a pivot joint, as in a sufficient manner z. B. is known for final landing gears. As already mentioned above, it is preferably provided that the second hinge device allows rolling movements between the two car bodies, in order to achieve a reduction of the torsional load of the car bodies when passing through twisted track section, it is therefore preferably provided that the second hinge device is designed such that it allows a roll movement between the first car body and the second car body about a vehicle longitudinal axis parallel to the roll axis.
Derartige Wankbewegungen zwischen den Wagenkästen können über eine Reihe von Gelenkgestaltungen erzielt werden. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung mit einem kardanischen Abschnitt auszuführen, welcher dieseSuch rolling movements between the car bodies can be achieved via a number of joint designs. Thus, it is for example possible to perform the second hinge device with a gimbal section, which this
Wankbewegungen ermöglicht. Auf besonders einfache und robuste Weise lässt sich eine solche Gestaltung aber über einen nach Art eines Kugelgelenks gestaltet den Abschnitt erzielen. Vorzugsweise ist daher vorgesehen, dass die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung nach Art eines Kugelgelenks ausgebildet ist.Wank movements possible. In a particularly simple and robust manner, however, such a design can be achieved by means of a ball-joint-type design. Preferably, it is therefore provided that the second hinge device is designed in the manner of a ball joint.
Hierzu umfasst die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung bevorzugt einen an einem der beiden Wagenkästen angeordneten sphärischen Vorsprung, der in einer zugeordneten sphärischen Gelenkpfanne sitzt, die an dem anderen der beiden Wagenkästen befestigt ist. Eine besonders einfach herzustellende und zu fügende Konfiguration ergibt sich dabei, wenn der sphärische Vorsprung an dem zweiten Wagenkasten angeordnet ist.For this purpose, the second hinge device preferably comprises a spherical projection arranged on one of the two car bodies and seated in an associated spherical socket which is fastened to the other of the two car bodies. A particularly easy to manufacture and mend configuration results here, when the spherical projection is arranged on the second car body.
Die Abstützung von Wankbewegungen des zweiten Wagenkastens bezüglich des ersten Wagenkastens kann gegebenenfalls ausschließlich am anderen, von der zweiten Gelenkeinrichtung entfernten Ende des zweiten Wagenkastens, beispielsweise über eine Abstützung auf einem herkömmlichen Endfahrwerk erfolgen. Ebenso kann eine separate Abstützung über eine entsprechende (vorzugsweise über entsprechende Geleitelemente am zweiten Wagenkasten angekoppelte) Sekundärfederung auf dem im zweiten Gelenk zugeordneten Fahrwerk erfolgen. Vorzugsweise werden diese Wankbewegungen aber über den ersten Wagenkasten abgestützt, da sich hiermit eine besonders einfache Gestaltung mit minimierter Torsionsbelastung des zweiten Wagenkastens erzielen lässt.The support of rolling movements of the second car body with respect to the first car body may optionally take place exclusively at the other end of the second car body remote from the second joint device, for example via a support on a conventional end gear. Likewise, a separate support via a corresponding (preferably via corresponding convection elements on the second car body coupled) secondary suspension on the chassis associated with the second articulation can be done. Preferably, however, these rolling movements are supported via the first carriage body, since this makes it possible to achieve a particularly simple design with minimized torsional loading of the second vehicle body.
Diese Abstützung der Wankbewegungen des zweiten Wagenkastens bezüglich des ersten Wagenkastens kann über die zweite Gelenkeinrichtung erfolgen. Vorzugsweise ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die beiden Wagenkästen über eine in Richtung der Fahrzeugquerachse wirkende Verbindungseinrichtung verbunden sind, wobei die Verbindungseinrichtung in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse von der zweiten Gelenkeinrichtung beabstandet ist, um so auf einfache Weise entsprechende derartige Wankbewegungen abstützende Stützkräfte aufbringen zu können. Vorzugsweise erfolgt hierbei eine Dämpfung der Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen, indem die Verbindungseinrichtung eine in Richtung der Fahrzeugquerachse wirkende Dämpfungseinrichtung umfasst.This support of the rolling movements of the second car body with respect to the first car body can take place via the second joint device. Preferably, however, it is provided that the two car bodies are connected via an acting in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis connecting means, wherein the connecting means is spaced in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis of the second hinge means to so easy to apply corresponding such rolling movements supporting forces can. In this case, an attenuation of the rolling movements between the two car bodies preferably takes place in that the connecting device comprises a damping device acting in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis.
Die vorliegende Erfindung lässt sich im Zusammenhang mit beliebig gestaltetenThe present invention can be used in conjunction with any desired
Fahrwerken realisieren. So kann es sich bei dem in beiden Wagenkästen zugeordneten Fahrwerk um ein Einzelachsfahrwerk handeln. Vorzugsweise das Fahrwerk jedoch nach Art eines Drehgestells ausgebildet. Weiterhin ist hierbei bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Drehgestell eine über eine Sekundärfederung auf einem Drehgestellrahmen abgestützte Wiege aufweist und die erste Gelenkeinrichtung an der Wiege befestigt ist.Implement landing gear. Thus, it may be at the assigned in two car bodies chassis to a Einzelachsfahrwerk. Preferably, the chassis, however, designed in the manner of a bogie. Furthermore, it is preferably provided here that the bogie has a secondary suspension supported on a bogie frame cradle and the first hinge device is attached to the cradle.

Erstes AusführungsbeispielFirst embodiment
Im Folgenden wird unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 1 bis 3 eine erste bevorzugte Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugs in Form eines mehrgliedrigen Schienenfahrzeugs 101 beschrieben.A first preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention in the form of a multi-unit rail vehicle 101 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
Das Fahrzeug 101 weist eine Fahrzeuglängsachse 101.1 , eine Fahrzeug hochachse 101.2 und eine Fahrzeugquerachse 101.3 auf. Das Fahrzeug 101 umfasst ein Fahrwerk in Form eines Jacobs-Drehgestells 102, einen ersten Wagenkasten 103 und einen zweiten Wagenkasten 104, deren benachbarte Enden den Drehgestell 102 zugeordnet sind. Der erste Wagenkasten 103 ist über eine erste Gelenkeinrichtung in Form eines Drehkranzes 105 um eine erste Schwenkachse 105.1 schwenkbar mit dem Drehgestell 102 verbunden und auf dem Drehgestell 102 in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse 101.2 auf dem Drehgestell 102 abgestützt. Die erste Schwenkachse 105.1 verläuft dabei im Wesentlichen parallel zur Fahrzeughochachse 101.1.The vehicle 101 has a vehicle longitudinal axis 101.1, a vehicle axle 101.2 and a vehicle transverse axis 101.3. The vehicle 101 comprises a chassis in the form of a Jacobs bogie 102, a first car body 103 and a second car body 104, whose adjacent ends are associated with the bogie 102. The first vehicle body 103 is pivotally connected to the bogie 102 via a first articulation device in the form of a turntable 105 about a first pivot axis 105.1 and supported on the bogie 102 on the bogie 102 on the bogie 102 in the direction of the vehicle's vertical axis 101.2. The first pivot axis 105.1 runs substantially parallel to the vehicle's vertical axis 101.1.
Wie insbesondere Figur 1 und 3 im Detail zu entnehmen ist, ist der Drehkranz 105 an einer Wiege 102.1 des Drehgestells 102 befestigt, die über eine Sekundärfederung 102.2 auf dem Drehgestellrahmen 102.3 des Drehgestells 102 abgestützt ist. Der Drehkranz 105 ist hierzu an einem ersten Träger 103.1 des ersten Wagenkastens 103 befestigt.As can be seen in detail in particular Figures 1 and 3, the turntable 105 is fixed to a cradle 102.1 of the bogie 102, which is supported on the bogie frame 102.3 of the bogie 102 via a secondary suspension 102.2. The turntable 105 is attached to a first carrier 103.1 of the first car body 103 for this purpose.
Der erste Wagenkasten 103 und der zweite Wagenkasten 104 sind über eine zweite Gelenkeinrichtung in Form eines Kugelgelenks 106 verbunden. Das Kugelgelenk 106 ist dabei in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse 101.2 oberhalb des Drehkranzes 105 angeordnet, sodass es leicht zugänglich und die Verbindung zwischen dem ersten Wagenkasten 103 und dem zweiten Wagenkasten 104 in einfacher Weise herzustellen ist.The first car body 103 and the second car body 104 are connected via a second hinge device in the form of a ball joint 106. The ball joint 106 is arranged in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis 101.2 above the turntable 105, so that it is easily accessible and the connection between the first car body 103 and the second car body 104 is to be produced in a simple manner.
Durch das Kugelgelenk 106 sind in der erste Wagenkasten 103 und der zweite Wagenkasten 104 zum einen um eine zweite Schwenkachse 106.1 schwenkbar miteinander verbunden. Die zweite Schwenkachse 106.1 verläuft dabei wiederum im Wesentlichen parallel zur Fahrzeughochachse 101.1 und ist kollinear zu der ersten Schwenkachse 105.1 angeordnet. Unter fahrdynamischen Aspekten ist dies von Vorteil, da die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 und ihre Anbindung am Drehgestell 102 kinematisch als ein einziges Gelenk betrachtet werden kann.By the ball joint 106 are in the first car body 103 and the second car body 104 on the one hand pivotally connected to each other about a second pivot axis 106.1. The second pivot axis 106.1 again runs essentially parallel to the vehicle vertical axis 101.1 and is arranged collinear with the first pivot axis 105.1. This is advantageous from a driving dynamics point of view since the connection between the two car bodies 103, 104 and their connection to the bogie 102 can be kinematically regarded as a single joint.
Zum anderen ist der zweite Wagenkasten 104 in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse 101.2 über das Kugelgelenk 106 auf dem ersten Wagenkasten 103 abgestützt, dessen Struktur dann die aus der Abstützung des zweiten Wagenkastens 104 resultierenden Stützkräfte über den Drehkranz 105 in das Drehgestell 102 einleitet.On the other hand, the second car body 104 is supported in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis 101.2 via the ball joint 106 on the first car body 103, whose structure then initiates the support forces resulting from the support of the second car body 104 via the turntable 105 into the bogie 102.
Das Kugelgelenk 106 umfasst einen sphärischen Vorsprung 106.1 und ein entsprechendes Gegenstück in Form einer sphärischen Gelenkpfanne 106.2. Der sphärische Vorsprung 106.1 ist an einem zweiten Träger 104.1 des zweiten Wagenkastens 104 angeordnet. Der Vorsprung 106.1 ist von oben in die Gelenkpfanne 106.2 eingesetzt, die ihrerseits an dem ersten Träger 103.1 des ersten Wagenkastens 103 befestigt ist. Mit dieser Gestaltung wird die herkömmliche in einer Einheit integrierte Verbindung der Wagenkästen und Anwendungen des Fahrwerks aufgelöst. Vielmehr ist erfindungsgemäß nur der erste Wagenkasten 103 über den Drehkranz 105 direkt am Drehgestell 102 angebunden, während die beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 untereinander über das separate Kugelgelenk 106 verbunden sind. Dank dieser separaten Verbindung zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 werden über die Struktur des ersten Wagenkastens 103 ausschließlich die aus der Abstützung der beiden Wagenkästen in Richtung der Fahrzeughochachse 101.2 resultierenden Stützkräfte in das Drehgestell 102 eingeleitet, während die Hinrichtung der Fahrzeuglängsachse 101 wirkenden Längskräfte zwischen den Wagenkästen 103, 104 unmittelbar über die Struktur der beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 und nicht wie bei herkömmlichen Fahrzeugen über die gelenkige Anbindung (also den Drehkranz 105) am Drehgestell 102 geleitet werden.The ball joint 106 comprises a spherical projection 106.1 and a corresponding counterpart in the form of a spherical socket pan 106.2. The spherical projection 106. 1 is arranged on a second carrier 104. 1 of the second vehicle body 104. The projection 106.1 is inserted from above into the socket pan 106.2, which in turn is fastened to the first support 103.1 of the first car body 103. With this design, the conventional unit-integrated connection of the car bodies and landing gear applications is resolved. Rather, according to the invention, only the first car body 103 is connected via the turntable 105 directly to the bogie 102, while the two car bodies 103, 104 are interconnected via the separate ball joint 106. Thanks to this separate connection between the two car bodies 103, 104, only the supporting forces resulting from the support of the two car bodies in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis 101. 2 are introduced into the bogie 102 via the structure of the first car body 103, while the longitudinal forces acting on the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 101 are interposed between the carousels Car bodies 103, 104 are guided directly over the structure of the two car bodies 103, 104 and not on the bogie 102 as in conventional vehicles via the articulated connection (ie the turntable 105).
Diese Trennung der Verbindung der Wagenkästen 103, 104 untereinander und ihrer Anbindung am Drehgestell 102 hat den Vorteil, dass der Drehkranz 105 in herkömmlicher Weise gestaltet sein kann. Weiterhin kann die Wageneinheit mit dem ersten Wagenkasten 103 durch ihre alleinige unmittelbare Anlenkung an den Drehgestell 102 fahrdynamisch wie ein herkömmliche Wageneinheit mit zwei Endfahrwerken betrachtet werden, was letztlich ihre Auslegung vereinfacht.This separation of the connection of the car bodies 103, 104 with each other and their connection to the bogie 102 has the advantage that the turntable 105 can be designed in a conventional manner. Furthermore, the car unit with the first car body 103 by its sole direct linkage to the bogie 102 driving dynamics as a conventional car unit with two Endfahrwerken be considered, which ultimately simplifies their interpretation.
Das Kugelgelenk 106 ermöglicht zudem Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 um eine zur Fahrzeuglängsachse 101.1 parallele Wankachse. Hierdurch reduzieren sich die Torsionsbelastungen der Wagenkästen 103, 104, z. B. beim Durchfahren von verwundenen Gleisabschnitten, sodass die Wagenkästen 103, 104 einfacher gestaltet werden können.The ball joint 106 also allows rolling movements between the two car bodies 103, 104 about a parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis 101.1 roll axis. This reduces the torsional loads of the car bodies 103, 104, z. B. when passing through twisted track sections, so that the car bodies 103, 104 can be made simpler.
Wankbewegungen des ersten Wagenkastens 103 bezüglich des Drehgestells 102 werden unter anderem über den Drehkranz 105 und die Wiege 102.1 abgestützt. Die Abstützung der Wankbewegungen des zweiten Wagenkastens 104 bezüglich des ersten Wagenkastens 103 erfolgt über eine Verbindungseinrichtung 107, welche die beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 in Richtung der Fahrzeugquerachse 101.3 verbindet. Hiermit ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Gestaltung mit minimierter Torsionsbelastuπg des zweiten Wagenkastens 104, da die Abstützung der Wankbewegungen nicht nur an anderer Stelle, beispielsweise am anderen Ende des zweiten Wagenkastens 104 erfolgen muss.Rolling movements of the first car body 103 relative to the bogie 102 are supported inter alia via the turntable 105 and the cradle 102.1. The support of the rolling movements of the second car body 104 with respect to the first car body 103 via a connecting device 107, which connects the two car bodies 103, 104 in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis 101.3. This results in a particularly simple design with minimized Torsionsbelastuπg the second car body 104, since the support of the rolling movements not only elsewhere, for example, at the other end of the second car body 104 must be made.
Die Verbindungseinrichtung 107 ist im Dachbereich des Fahrzeugs 101 und damit oberhalb des Kugelgelenks 106 angeordnet, sodass günstige Hebelverhältnisse für die Abstützung der Wankbewegungen zwischen den beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 vorliegen. Die Verbindungseinrichtung 107 ist hierzu im Dachbereich über eine erste Konsole 107.1 an dem ersten Wagenkasten 103 und eine zweite Konsole 107.2 an dem zweiten Wagenkasten 104 angelenkt.The connecting device 107 is arranged in the roof area of the vehicle 101 and thus above the ball joint 106, so that favorable leverage ratios for the support the rolling movements between the two car bodies 103, 104 are present. The connecting device 107 is for this purpose in the roof area via a first console 107.1 articulated to the first car body 103 and a second console 107.2 on the second car body 104.
Die Verbindungseinrichtung 107 umfasst eine in Richtung der Fahrzeugquerachse 101.3 wirkende Dämpfungseinrichtung in Form eines Dämpfers 107.3, der die Wankbewegungen zwischen dem ersten Wagenkasten 103 und den zweiten Wagenkasten 104 in vorteilhafter Weise bedämpft. Über eine Einstellung der Länge der Verbindungseinrichtung 107 kann zudem im Ruhezustand des Fahrzeugs 101 eine Einstellung der Ausrichtung der Wagenkästen 103, 104 bezüglich der Fahrzeughochachse 101.2 erfolgen.The connecting device 107 comprises a damping device acting in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis 101.3 in the form of a damper 107.3, which damps the rolling movements between the first vehicle body 103 and the second vehicle body 104 in an advantageous manner. By adjusting the length of the connecting device 107, it is also possible, in the idle state of the vehicle 101, to adjust the orientation of the vehicle bodies 103, 104 relative to the vehicle's vertical axis 101.2.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung mit der Anbindung des ersten Wagenkastens 103 über den Drehkranz 105 am Drehgestell 102 und die separate Verbindung der beiden Wagenkästen 103, 104 über das Kugelgelenk 106 wird weiterhin der Vorteil erzielt, dass sich ohne weitere Maßnahmen eindeutige kinematische Bedingungen für die Anbindung am Drehgestell 102 ergeben. So ist anders als bei herkömmlichen Fahrzeugen, die beispielsweise einen zweistufigen Drehkranz aufweisen, keine gesonderte Einrichtung erforderlich, welche das Nickverhalten der Wiege 102.1 steuert. Ebenso ist kein Mittenportal für die Anbindung der Wagenkästen erforderlich.Due to the inventive design with the connection of the first car body 103 via the turntable 105 on the bogie 102 and the separate connection of the two car bodies 103, 104 via the ball joint 106, the advantage is further achieved that without further measures clear kinematic conditions for the connection on Bogie 102 result. Thus, unlike conventional vehicles, which have, for example, a two-stage turntable, no separate device is required, which controls the pitching behavior of the cradle 102.1. Similarly, no center portal for the connection of the car bodies is required.
Zweites AusführungsbeispielSecond embodiment
Im Folgenden wird unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 4 ein zweites bevorzugtesIn the following, with reference to Figure 4, a second preferred
Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugs 201 beschrieben. Die Figur 4 zeigt dabei eine Ansicht des Fahrzeugs 201 , die der Ansicht des Fahrzeugs 101 aus Figur 3 entspricht.

Alle übrigen Komponenten des Fahrzeugs 201 sind identisch mit den Komponenten des Fahrzeugs 101 , so dass diesbezüglich lediglich auf die obigen Ausführungen verwiesen wird.The only difference with respect to the vehicle 101 from FIGS. 1 to 3 is that in the vehicle 201 the first articulation device is designed as a pivot joint 205, whose pivot pin 205.2 is fastened to the first carrier 103.1 of the first vehicle body 103 and in a corresponding recess in FIG the cradle 202.1 of the bogie 102 is seated. All other components of the vehicle 201 are identical to the Components of the vehicle 101, so that reference is made in this regard only to the above statements.

Gegebenenfalls kann der Drehzapfen identisch mit den übrigen Drehzapfen des Fahrzeugs 201 gestaltet sein, sodass in vorteilhafter Weise gegebenenfalls für die Anlenkung sämtlicher Drehgestelle des Fahrzeugs 201 identische Bauteile verwendet werden können.The pivot joint 205 may be designed in a conventional manner. In particular, it may be designed as this in a sufficient manner z. B. is known for final landing gears. If appropriate, the pivot pin can be designed identically to the other pivots of the vehicle 201, so that identical components can advantageously be used for the articulation of all bogies of the vehicle 201, if appropriate.
Die vorliegende Erfindung wurde vorstehender ausschließlich Anhand von Beispielen beschrieben, bei denen Drehgestelle zum Einsatz kommen. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass sich die Erfindung auch im Zusammenhang mit beliebig anders gestalteten Fahrwerken verwenden lässt.The present invention has been described above solely by way of examples in which bogies are used.
