Definitions
- the invention relates to a bogie for railway vehicle with independent and steerable wheels according to the curvature of the track.
- a rail vehicle is equipped with paired metal wheels in pairs and at the ends of a shaft axle mounted free to rotate in bearings called axle boxes. These are carried either in the chassis of the vehicle or in the frame of a bogie articulated about a vertical axis relative to the vehicle.
- Each wheel has a slightly frustoconical shape and is bordered on its inner side by a coil whose portion intended to come into contact with the inside of the rail is in the form of rounded leave. This leave applies from time to time against the head of the rail to reposition the vehicle transversely
- the radius of the curve of the inner rail is smaller than the radius of the curve of the outer rail, so that when a vehicle is traveling on the curve, the two wheels of one and the same axle traverse different distances.
- they can rotate at the same speed. This results in wheel slippage with respect to the rails, friction, noise, parasitic vibrations, wheel wear and rails, resistance to travel and additional traction energy to compensate for these resistances. .
- the document GB 446,565 discloses a railway bogie with steerable wheels according to the curvature of the track, comprising a frame hinged about a vertical pivot relative to the chassis of the vehicle, and two opposite bissels which, each supporting a set of wheels, are hinged to this frame around vertical axes, each bissel extending, opposite the wheel train and to the other bissel, by a head carrying a pivoting control joint.
- This control articulation is connected to means which, detecting the relative angular displacement of the bogie with respect to the chassis of the vehicle, are able to rotate the bissels to give the geometrical axes of rotation of the wheel trains an orientation, in which these axes will substantially converge towards the center of the curve of the track.
- This arrangement provides an approach to the solution, but does not solve the problem of friction, sliding, noise and wear of the wheels in curve, since each of the wheels of the same train is linked to its neighbor by the axle which carries it and can not adapt its speed to the track configuration.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing means which, by improving this state of the art, by reducing in the curves the sliding and the friction between wheels and rails, reduce the various wear and noise, while improving the grip of the wheels on the rails.
- each bissel surrounds the pivot of the bogie and is connected to the means detecting the relative angular displacement of the bogie by a connecting rod which is independent of the connecting rod of the control joint of the bogie.
- Another bissel while each of the wheels of one set of wheels is independent in rotation from the other wheel of the same set of wheels.
- each of the control knuckles of the pivoting of the bissels comprises two concentric and spaced rings, respectively, inner and outer, enclosing a ring of viscoelastic material, and whose inner ring is traversed by the pivot of the bogie.
- control joint provides the travel necessary for the pivoting of the bissels, and on the other hand, also gives them the possibility of moving vertically or to perform warping movements transversal to absorb the leveling defects of the track or the variations of the level of the apparatus of way, such as crossings, needles, points of connection, joints ...
- the compressibility of the viscoelastic ring can absorb displacements of several millimeters, sufficient for vehicles traveling on high-speed tracks, equipped with a curve whose spokes are at least 300 meters, but may be insufficient for goods vehicles that can run on service roads with curves with radii of 100 meters. Indeed, in this case and with a bogie having a wheelbase of 2.50 meters, to converge the axes of the wheels with the center of the curve of the tracks, it is necessary that the articulation of the bissels moves 8 millimeters relative to to that of the boggie.
- the inner ring of each of the two superimposed viscoelastic joints comprises a transverse lumen whose length is greater than the corresponding transverse dimension of the bogie pivot which passes vertically therethrough.
- this bogie pivot has, at least in its portion passing through said inner rings, a quadrangular cross-section of which one of the dimensions is equal, to the functional clearance, to the width of the transverse openings of said inner rings in which this pivot can slide.
- the means for detecting the relative angular displacement of the bogie with respect to the chassis of the vehicle consist of a bent lever, articulated close to its elbow on the frame of the bogie, and one of whose arms is linked by a hinge to the chassis of the vehicle, while the other arm is connected, by a hinge, to one end of a control rod pivoting.

- each of the wheels of a bogie is perfectly adapted to its position and the configuration of the track, which, in addition to reducing the friction in the curves, eliminates any source of wheel slip on rails, while increasing, at equal power, the efficiency and the value of the towing load.
- each bissel has, longitudinally and on both sides of its articulation on the bogie, two lateral and spaced forks, each carrying the axle boxes for the ends of the shaft integral with the corresponding wheel, and the interval (E) between the arms of each fork is at least equal, with the functional clearance, to the transverse travel that the wheel must make to move from a gap of track defined at another defined track gauge, this transverse displacement of the shafts of each wheel being achieved, firstly, by a gradual change in the gauge of the track under the moving vehicle and, secondly, by pneumatic assistance means acting on each shaft end.
- the reference V designates the chassis of the vehicle, C the chassis of the bogie and B1, B2 the chassis of two opposite bissels each carrying a train of coaxial wheels.
- the frame C.du bogie is a cage frame comprising two horizontal walls, respectively upper 2a and lower 2b, connected by uprights 3 and / or end walls 4 (visible figure 2 ).

- the head 6a or 6b has a general shape of triangular arrow and is integral with two lateral forks 7 whose arms 8 are spaced by an interval E accommodating a wheel 9 which, locked on two shaft ends 10, is independent in rotation of the other wheel of the same wheel train.
- These two shaft ends are rotatably mounted in axle boxes 11, carried by the arms.
- Each frame therefore comprises two coaxial wheels 9 forming a train, front or rear, since the bogie carries two bissels.
- the chassis B1 and B2 have bearing surfaces 12 for the suspension springs 13, bearing on the upper wall 2a of the frame C of the bogie.
- the heads 6a and 6b of the bissels are superimposed, while in that of the figure 5 , that 106a in the form of a yoke and that 106b in the form of a tenon which penetrates into the yoke.

- This arrangement adapts the speed of each wheel, eliminating all slippage between wheel and rail, both in rectilinear movements as in curved movements.
- each of the wheels 9 is movable in translation between the two arms 8 of the fork 7 which carries it.
- the value of the interval E is determined constructively and is equal to the functional clearance, to the thickness of the wheel 9 plus half the difference of the extreme spacings of the channels on which the vehicle can be driven. This is the case for European vehicles driven on standard gauge tracks of 1.435 meter and on tracks at the Spanish spacing of 1.668 meter, the transverse stroke of each wheel is 116.5 millimeters. It is 217.5 millimeters to go from the standard gauge to the metric gauge, for example to switch from a train track to a track for tram, or vice versa.
- This complementary arrangement implements means assisting the displacement of each wheel 9 in its bissel and locking means in each of the positions of each wheel.
- axle boxes 11 serving as rotational guide bearings for the shaft ends 10 integral with each wheel 9, are wedged in translation on these shaft ends, by their bearings 49, but are slidably mounted on slides or columns 50, arranged parallel to the shaft ends and carried by the arms 8 of the corresponding fork 7.

- Each latch 58 is keyed on the piston 57a of a pneumatic control 57. This piston is urged permanently and in the locking direction by a return spring 57b resting on it. It is biased in the unlocking direction by a pneumatic flow backing it. This action is controlled only in the phase of changing the wheel spacing.
- Each pneumatic control 57 is associated with contacts 59 electrically connected to a synoptic table, not shown, indicating the locked or unlocked state of the lock and the position of the wheel.
- the pneumatic controls 57 and 51 are energized to cause the locks 58 to move against their return spring 57b, to unlock the axle boxes 11 and the wheels 9 , and keep the latches 58 in the unlocked position during the adjustment operation, which is assisted by the pneumatic means 51.
- the rolls of the wheels 9 coming from in contact either with the mushrooms of these rails, or with the outer edge of a groove adjacent to this mushroom cause the transverse displacements of these wheels, as the vehicle is moved longitudinally, at slow speed and in a continuous manner .
- the pneumatic controls 57 and 51 are vented.
- the springs 57b become preponderant and bring the latches 58 to the locking position, ensuring the locking of the wheel 9 in its new position.
- each axle box 11a is connected to the arm 8a of the fork 7a, extends between the two walls of the arm 8a and has a stepped bore 61 in which is wedged a bearing 62, needle or roller.
- Each shaft end 10a is mounted free to rotate and translate in this bearing 62 and is connected to an extension 10b, with the interposition of a thrust bearing 63 preventing the rotational movement of the shaft 10a is transmitted to the extension 10b.
- This extension 10b comprises, in the box 11a, two grooves 64, spaced apart and each capable of cooperating with a radial locking lock 65.
- the body 66 of the lock is carried by the axle box 11a and contains a single pneumatic control Indeed, operating as the pneumatic drives 57, that is to say favoring the return action of the spring 66a to maintain the lock 65 in the locked position and using the pneumatic flow only to ensure the unlocking before and during the adjustment phase of the gap.
- the means used to adapt the spacing of the wheels to that of the tracks fit without difficulty, and at lower costs, in the means for orienting the wheels curve, whether these wheels are motorized or not. This gives the vehicle thus equipped a lot of advantages over current vehicles and, in particular, the reduction of friction and slippage, the reduction of noise and wear, and at equal power, a better performance.
- the device for adjusting the wheel spacing which has just been described with reference to the figure 13 to manage two spacings, can also work with other spacings having intermediate values.
- the standard one of 1.435 meters and the maximum spacing the Spanish one of 1.668 meters, to obtain a wedging of the wheels for an intermediate spacing, corresponding for example to that of the Russian tracks, having a value of 1.524 meters, it suffices, on each extension 11b, to add an additional groove between the grooves 64.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un boggie pour véhicule ferroviaire avec des roues indépendantes et orientables selon la courbure de la voie.
Traditionnellement, un véhicule ferroviaire est équipé de roues métalliques calées par paires et aux extrémité d'un essieu-axe monté libre en rotation dans des paliers appelés boites d'essieux. Ceux ci sont portés soit dans le châssis du véhicule soit dans le châssis d'un boggie articulé autour d'un axe vertical par rapport au véhicule.
Chaque roue a une forme légérement tronconique et est bordée, sur son coté intérieur, par un boudin dont la partie destinée à venir en contact avec l'intérieur du rail est en forme de congé arrondi. Ce congé s'applique de temps à autre contre le champignon du rail pour repositionner transversalement le véhiculeThe invention relates to a bogie for railway vehicle with independent and steerable wheels according to the curvature of the track.
Traditionally, a rail vehicle is equipped with paired metal wheels in pairs and at the ends of a shaft axle mounted free to rotate in bearings called axle boxes. These are carried either in the chassis of the vehicle or in the frame of a bogie articulated about a vertical axis relative to the vehicle.
Each wheel has a slightly frustoconical shape and is bordered on its inner side by a coil whose portion intended to come into contact with the inside of the rail is in the form of rounded leave. This leave applies from time to time against the head of the rail to reposition the vehicle transversely
Dans une courbe de la voie, le rayon de la courbe du rail intérieur est plus petit que le rayon de la courbe du rail extérieur, de sorte que, quand un véhicule circule sur la courbe, les deux roues d'un même essieu parcourent des distances différentes. Or, comme elles ont les mêmes diamètres et développements linéaires et qu'elles sont lièes par l'essieu-axe, elles ne peuvent tourner qu'à la même vitesse. Il en résulte des glissements des roues par rapport aux rails, des frottements, des bruits, des vibrations parasites, des usures de roues et des rails, des résistances à l'avancement et de l'énergie de traction dépensée en supplément pour compenser ces résistances.In a curve of the track, the radius of the curve of the inner rail is smaller than the radius of the curve of the outer rail, so that when a vehicle is traveling on the curve, the two wheels of one and the same axle traverse different distances. Now, as they have the same diameters and linear developments and they are connected by the axle-axis, they can rotate at the same speed. This results in wheel slippage with respect to the rails, friction, noise, parasitic vibrations, wheel wear and rails, resistance to travel and additional traction energy to compensate for these resistances. .
Il faut ici préciser que, quand un véhicule ferroviaire s'inscrit en courbe, ce sont les boudins des roues circulant sur le rail extérieur qui sont le plus sollicités et leurs congés frottent d'autant plus sur le champignon du rail que le rayon de la courbe est faible.It should be noted here that, when a rail vehicle fits in a curve, it is the rolls of the wheels circulating on the outer rail that are the most stressed and their holidays rub more on the rail head than the radius of the rail. curve is weak.
L'usure des roues n'étant pas uniformément répartie, il faut régulièrement procéder à des reprofilages qui, par le métal enlevé sur les roues, réduisent la durée d'utilisation de chaque roue et la distance parcourue par celle ci. Ces opérations de reprofilage entrainent des immobilisations des véhicules et ont un coût important qui s'ajoute aux coûts d'exploitation.The wear of the wheels is not evenly distributed, it is necessary to carry out regular reprofiling which, by the metal removed on the wheels, reduce the duration of use of each wheel and the distance traveled by it. These reprofiling operations result in vehicle fixed assets and have a significant cost that is added to operating costs.
Quant aux rails, ils sont aussi soumis à des usures localisées qui imposent de les remplacer plus fréquemment dans les courbes.As for the rails, they are also subject to localized wear which makes it necessary to replace them more frequently in the curves.
Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, il est connu, d'une part, de disposer les roues dans un boggie, monté pivotant autour d'un axe vertical par rapport au châssis du véhicule, et, d'autre part, de rendre chacune des roues indépendantes par rapport à celle qui lui est coaxiale. Ce montage permet à chaque roue d'adapter sa vitesse de rotation sans être gênée par celle qui lui est coaxiale, et, en courbe, de réduire les usures des chemins de roulement et des bandages par frottements et glissements sur le rail. Par contre, il est sans effets sur les frottements des boudins des roues extérieures contre le champignon du rail extérieur d'une courbe, frottements consécutifs à l'angle d'attaque ou de cisaillement, c'est à dire à l'angle que forme, par rapport à la tangente au rail, la partie de la roue venant en contact avec ce rail. Plus le rayon de la courbe du rail est petit, plus l'angle est grand et plus il génère des frottements, des bruits et des usures, même à vitesse réduite.To overcome these disadvantages, it is known, on the one hand, to arrange the wheels in a bogie, pivotally mounted about a vertical axis relative to the chassis of the vehicle, and, on the other hand, to make each of the wheels independent of the coaxial one. This arrangement allows each wheel to adapt its rotational speed without being impeded by that which is coaxial with it, and, in curve, reduce the wear of the raceways and bandages by friction and sliding on the rail. On the other hand, it has no effect on the friction of the flanges of the outer wheels against the head of the outer rail of a curve, consecutive friction at the angle of attack or shear, ie at the angle that forms , relative to the tangent to the rail, the part of the wheel coming into contact with this rail. The smaller the radius of the rail curve, the greater the angle and the more friction, noise and wear, even at reduced speed.
Le document
Cet aménagement fournit une approche de la solution, mais ne résout pas le problème des frottements, glissements, bruits et usures des roues en courbe, puisque chacune des roues d'un même train est liée à sa voisine par l'essieu qui la porte et ne peut pas adapter sa vitesse à la configuration de la voie.This arrangement provides an approach to the solution, but does not solve the problem of friction, sliding, noise and wear of the wheels in curve, since each of the wheels of the same train is linked to its neighbor by the axle which carries it and can not adapt its speed to the track configuration.
La présente invention à pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant des moyens qui, perfectionnent cet état de la technique, en réduisant dans les courbes les glissements et les frottements entre roues et rails, réduisent les usures et les bruits divers, tout en améliorant l'adhérence des roues sur les rails.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing means which, by improving this state of the art, by reducing in the curves the sliding and the friction between wheels and rails, reduce the various wear and noise, while improving the grip of the wheels on the rails.
Dans le boggie selon l'invention, l'articulation de commande de chaque bissel entoure le pivot du boggie et est reliée aux moyens détectant le déplacement angulaire relatif du boggie par une bielle qui est indépendante de la bielle de l'articulation de commande de l'autre bissel, tandis que chacune des roues d'un train de roues est indépendante en rotation de l'autre roue du même train de roues.In the bogie according to the invention, the control joint of each bissel surrounds the pivot of the bogie and is connected to the means detecting the relative angular displacement of the bogie by a connecting rod which is independent of the connecting rod of the control joint of the bogie. Another bissel, while each of the wheels of one set of wheels is independent in rotation from the other wheel of the same set of wheels.
Grâce à cet aménagement, chaque train de roues d'un bissel est angulairement indépendant du train de roues de l'autre bissel, et chaque bissel peut pivoter par rapport au boggie qui le porte et en fonction de la valeur de déplacement de ce boggie par rapport au véhicule. De la sorte, quand le véhicule entre dans une courbe et que le boggie pivote pour s'inscrire dans la courbe en modifiant sa position angulaire par rapport au châssis du véhicule, ce pivotement induit dans les bielles des mouvements de même sens mais qui, en poussant ou tirant l'articulation de commande du pivotement des bissels provoquent :
- le déplacement par rapport au pivot du boggie de l'axe d'articulation de commande de pivotement des bissels,
- le pivotement des bissels, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du boggie,
- et, le positionnement des axes géométriques des trains de roues des bissels d'un même boggie selon des directions qui convergent vers le centre de la courbure de la voie, ou au moins se rapprochent de ce centre, en réduisant considérablement les frottements.
- the displacement relative to the pivot of the bogie of the articulation axis of pivoting control of the bissels,
- the pivoting of the bissels, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bogie,
- and positioning the geometrical axes of the wheel trains of the bissels of the same bogie in directions converging towards the center of the curvature of the track, or at least approaching this center, considerably reducing the friction.
Ce dispositif mécanique simple fonctionne de manière entièrement automatique, sans aucun apport d'énergie et est donc particulièrement fiable par rapport aux disposittifs de l'état de la technique il apporte les vanatages suivants :
- diminution des frottements, des bruits et des usures des roues et des rails, amenant une réduction des coûts de maintenance,
- réduction de la résistance à l'avancement dans les courbes et contrecourbes, entrainant une amélioration du rendement énergétique,
- moindre consommation d'énergie de traction et, à valeur égale, augmentation de la charge remorquée,
- et possibilité de modifier l'écartement des roues d'un mêm train de roue, pour l'adapter sans démontage, à l'écartemen tdes voies.
- reduced friction, noise and wear of wheels and rails, reducing maintenance costs,
- reduction of the resistance to advancement in the curves and counter-curves, resulting in an improvement of the energy efficiency,
- lower traction energy consumption and, at equal value, increased towing load,
- and the possibility of modifying the wheel spacing of the same wheel train, to adapt it without disassembly, away from the tracks.
Avantageusement, chacune des articulations de commande du pivotement des bissels comprend deux bagues concentriques et espacées, respectivement, intérieure et extérieure, enserrant un anneau en matériau viscoélastique, et dont la bague intérieure est traversée par le pivot du boggie.Advantageously, each of the control knuckles of the pivoting of the bissels comprises two concentric and spaced rings, respectively, inner and outer, enclosing a ring of viscoelastic material, and whose inner ring is traversed by the pivot of the bogie.
La capacité de compressibilité de l'articulation de commande, d'une part, procure la course nécessaire au pivotement des bissels, et d'autre part, donne aussi à ces derniers la possibilité de se déplacer verticalement ou d'effectuer des mouvements de gauchissement transversaux pour absorber les défauts de nivellement de la voie ou les variations de niveaux des appareils de voie, tels que croisements, aiguilles, coeurs d'aiguillage, joints ...The ability of compressibility of the control joint, on the one hand, provides the travel necessary for the pivoting of the bissels, and on the other hand, also gives them the possibility of moving vertically or to perform warping movements transversal to absorb the leveling defects of the track or the variations of the level of the apparatus of way, such as crossings, needles, points of connection, joints ...
La compressibilité de l'anneau viscoélastique peut absorber des déplacements de plusieurs millimètres, suffisants pour les véhicules circulant sur les voies à grande vitesse, équipées de courbe dont les rayons ont au moins 300 mètres, mais peut se révéler insuffisante pour les véhicules de marchandises pouvant circuler sur des voies de service avec des courbes ayant des rayons de 100 mètres. En effet, dans ce cas et avec un boggie ayant un empattement de 2,50 mètres, pour faire converger les axes des roues avec le centre de la courbe des voies, il faut que l'articulation des bissels se déplace de 8 millimètres par rapport à celle du boggie.The compressibility of the viscoelastic ring can absorb displacements of several millimeters, sufficient for vehicles traveling on high-speed tracks, equipped with a curve whose spokes are at least 300 meters, but may be insufficient for goods vehicles that can run on service roads with curves with radii of 100 meters. Indeed, in this case and with a bogie having a wheelbase of 2.50 meters, to converge the axes of the wheels with the center of the curve of the tracks, it is necessary that the articulation of the bissels moves 8 millimeters relative to to that of the boggie.
Pour remédier à cette limitation, et dans une forme d'exécution de l'invention, la bague intérieure de chacune des deux articulations viscoélastiques superposées comprend une lumière transversale dont la longueur est supérieure à la dimension transversale correspondante du pivot de boggie qui la traverse verticalement, tandis que ce pivot de boggie présente, au moins dans sa partie traversant les dites bagues intérieures, une section transversale quadrangulaire dont l'une des dimensions est égale, au jeu fonctionnel près, à la largeur des lumières transversales des dites bagues intérieures dans lesquelles ce pivot peut coulisser.To overcome this limitation, and in one embodiment of the invention, the inner ring of each of the two superimposed viscoelastic joints comprises a transverse lumen whose length is greater than the corresponding transverse dimension of the bogie pivot which passes vertically therethrough. , while this bogie pivot has, at least in its portion passing through said inner rings, a quadrangular cross-section of which one of the dimensions is equal, to the functional clearance, to the width of the transverse openings of said inner rings in which this pivot can slide.
Cette lumière, qui permet les déplacements transversaux des articulations superposées de commande du pivotement des bissels par rapport au pivot du boggie, limite la course de compression de l'anneau viscoélastique mais la conserve en partie, pour bénéficier de l'effet amortisseur,et de rappel qu'elle procure.This light, which allows the transverse displacements of the superimposed articulation of the pivoting of the bissels relative to the pivot of the bogie, limits the compression stroke of the viscoelastic ring but retains it in part, to benefit from the damping effect, and reminder that it provides.
Dans une forme d'exécution, les moyens de détection du déplacement angulaire relatif du boggie par rapport au châssis du véhicule sont constitués par un levier coudé, articule près, de son coude sur le châssis du boggie, et dont l'un des bras est lié par une articulation au châssis du véhicule, alors que l'autre bras est lié, par une articulation, à l'une des extrémité d'une bielle de commande du pivotement.In one embodiment, the means for detecting the relative angular displacement of the bogie with respect to the chassis of the vehicle consist of a bent lever, articulated close to its elbow on the frame of the bogie, and one of whose arms is linked by a hinge to the chassis of the vehicle, while the other arm is connected, by a hinge, to one end of a control rod pivoting.
Ce dispositif simple est très fiable, aisément réglable et nettoyable.This simple device is very reliable, easily adjustable and cleanable.
Dans une forme d'exécution motorisée de l'invention, chacune des roues du boggie est liée en rotation à un moteur électrique indépendant dont l'alimentation électrique est pilotée par des moyens comparant un axe de référence du boggie avec un axe de référence du véhicule, afin que la vitesse de rotation de la roue soit adaptée au rayon de la courbe de la voie et à la position intérieure ou extérieure de cette roue par rapport à cette courbe de voie.In a motorized embodiment of the invention, each of the wheels of the bogie is rotatably connected to an independent electric motor whose power supply is controlled by means comparing a reference axis of the bogie with a reference axis of the vehicle. , so that the speed of rotation of the wheel is adapted to the radius of the curve of the track and the inner or outer position of this wheel with respect to this track curve.
Ainsi, la vitesse de rotation de chacune des roues d'un boggie est parfaitement adaptée à sa position et à la configuration de la voie, ce qui, en complément de la réduction des frotements dans les courbes, supprime toute source de glissement des roues sur les rails, tout en augmentant, à puissance égale, le rendement et la valeur de la charge remorquable.Thus, the speed of rotation of each of the wheels of a bogie is perfectly adapted to its position and the configuration of the track, which, in addition to reducing the friction in the curves, eliminates any source of wheel slip on rails, while increasing, at equal power, the efficiency and the value of the towing load.
Dans une application du boggie à un véhicule circulant sur des voies ayant des écartements différents, chaque bissel présente, longitudinalement et de part et d'autre de son articulation sur le boggie, deux fourches latérales et espacée, portant chacune les boites d'essieux pour les bouts d'arbre solidaires de la roue correspondante, et l'intervalle (E) entre les bras de chaque fourche est au moins égal, au jeu fonctionnel près, à la course transversale que doit effectuer la roue pour passer d'un écartement de voie défini à un autre écartement de voie défini, ce déplacement transversal des arbres de chaque roue étant réalisé, d'une part, par une modification progressive de l'écartement de la voie sous le véhicule en déplacement et, d'autre part, par des moyens pneumatiques d'assistance agissant sur chaque bout d'arbre.In an application of the bogie to a vehicle traveling on tracks having different spacings, each bissel has, longitudinally and on both sides of its articulation on the bogie, two lateral and spaced forks, each carrying the axle boxes for the ends of the shaft integral with the corresponding wheel, and the interval (E) between the arms of each fork is at least equal, with the functional clearance, to the transverse travel that the wheel must make to move from a gap of track defined at another defined track gauge, this transverse displacement of the shafts of each wheel being achieved, firstly, by a gradual change in the gauge of the track under the moving vehicle and, secondly, by pneumatic assistance means acting on each shaft end.
Cet aménagement simple, augmente l'intérêt du dispositif selon l'invention, sans affecter l'amélioration de l'inscription en courbe.This simple arrangement increases the interest of the device according to the invention, without affecting the improvement of the curve inscription.

Il résulte de cet aménagement que, quand le véhicule est en courbe, ses roues sont parfaitement positionnées et que, grâce à leurs indépendances, elles peuvent tourner chacune à une vitesse différente de celles des autres, sans générer de frottements, de bruits et d'usures.As a result of this arrangement, when the vehicle is curved, its wheels are perfectly positioned and that, thanks to their independence, they can each rotate at a different speed from those of others, without generating friction, noise and wear.
La
Dans cette forme d'exécution, la motorisation est assurée par deux moteurs électriques 40, disposés entre les fourches 7 du châssis B1 du bissel. L'arbre de sortie 41 de chaque moteur est lié en rotation à un pignon 42 engrenant avec une roue dentée 43, calée sur l'arbre de roue 10. L'alimentation de chacun des moteurs indépendants est assurée par une unité de commande 44 pilotée par des moyens 45 comparant les signaux émis par des moyens 45a d'étectant un axe de référence du boggie, par exemple X'-X de son châssis C, avec les signaux émis par des moyens 45b détectant un axe de référence du véhicule, par exemple X'1-X1 de son châssis V, afin que la vitesse de rotation de la roue 9 soit adaptée au rayon de la courbe de la voie et à la position intérieure ou extérieure de cette roue par rapport à cette courbe de voie.In this embodiment, the motorization is provided by two
Cet aménagement qui adapte la vitesse de chaque roue, supprime tous glissements entre roue et rail, aussi bien dans les déplacements rectilignes que dans les déplacements en courbe.This arrangement adapts the speed of each wheel, eliminating all slippage between wheel and rail, both in rectilinear movements as in curved movements.
Dans toutes les formes d'exécution de bissel représentée au dessin, chacune des roues 9 est déplaçable en translation entre les deux bras 8 de la fourche 7 qui la porte. La valeur de l'intervalle E est déterminée constructivement et est égale, au jeu fonctionnel près, à l'épaisseur de la roue 9 majorée de la moitié de la différence des écartements extrêmes des voies sur lesquelles le véhicule peut être amené à circuler. C'est ainsi que pour des véhicules européens amenés à circuler sur des voies à l'écartement standard de 1,435 mètre et sur des voies à l'écartement espagnol de 1,668 mètre, la course transversale de chaque roue est de 116,5 millimètres. Elle est de 217,5 millimètres pour passer de l'écartement standard à l'écartement métrique, par exemple pour passer d'une voie pour train à une voie pour tram, ou inversement.In all embodiments of bissel shown in the drawing, each of the wheels 9 is movable in translation between the two
Cet aménagement complémentaire met en oeuvre des moyens assistant le déplacement de chaque roue 9 dans son bissel et des moyens de verrouillage dans chacune des positions de chaque roue.This complementary arrangement implements means assisting the displacement of each wheel 9 in its bissel and locking means in each of the positions of each wheel.

Quand le véhicule parvient à un poste de modification de l'écartement des roues, dans lequel les rails spéciaux composant la voie vont progressivement en s'écartant ou en se rapprochant, selon le sens de circulation du véhicule, les commandes pneumatiques 57 et 51 sont alimentées pour entrainer le déplacement des verrous 58 contre leur ressort de rappel 57b, déverrouiller les boites d'essieu 11 et les roues 9, et maintenir les verrous 58 en position déverrouillée pendant l'opération de réglage, qui est assistée par les moyens pneumatiques 51. De la sorte quand le véhicule circule sur les rails du poste de réglage de l'écartement, les boudins des roues 9 venant en contact soit avec les champignons de ces rails, soit avec le bord extérieur d'une gorge jouxtant ce champignon, provoquent les déplacements transversaux de ces roues, au fur et à mesure que le véhicule est déplacé longitudinalement, à vitesse lente et de manière continue. A la fin du poste de réglage et quand toutes les roues d'un boggie sont au nouvel écartement, les commandes pneumatiques 57 et 51 sont mises à l'atmosphère. Ainsi, les ressorts 57b deviennent prépondérants et ramènent les verrous 58 en position de verrouillage, en assurant le blocage de la roue 9 dans sa nouvelle position.When the vehicle reaches a wheel gauge modification station, in which the special rails forming the track will gradually by moving away or moving closer, according to the direction of circulation of the vehicle, the pneumatic controls 57 and 51 are energized to cause the

Au-delà de ces gorges 64, chaque prolongement 10b est conformé en piston pneumatique, grâce à des joints 67 et à l'aménagement à l'extrémité de la boite 11a d'une chambre étanche 68. Cette dernière est reliée, par un canal 70 et des tuyaux non représentés, à une installation de commande qui, comme dans la forme d'exécution précédente, régit successivement :
- l'alimentation des commandes pneumatiques 66, dans le sens du deverrouillage des verrous 65,
- l'alimentation des chambres 68, ayant la plus petit volume et la mise à l'atmosphère des chambres disposées de l'autre coté de chaque roue, pour assister le déplacement transversal des arbres 10 et des roues 9,
- et, en fin de mouvement, la mise à l'atmosphère des moyens de commande 66, pour rendre prépondérants les ressorts 66a et assurer par le verrou 65 correspondant le verrouillage de la roue 9 dans sa nouvelle position transversale.
- supplying the pneumatic controls 66, in the direction of unlocking the
locks 65, - supplying the
chambers 68, having the smallest volume and venting chambers disposed on the other side of each wheel, to assist the transverse displacement of theshafts 10 and the wheels 9, - and, at the end of the movement, the venting of the control means 66, to make the springs 66a predominant and to ensure by the corresponding
lock 65 the locking of the wheel 9 in its new transverse position.
Les moyens mis en oeuvre pour adapter l'écartement des roues à celui des voies s'insèrent sans difficultés, et à moindre coûts, dans les moyens permettant d'orienter les roues en courbe, que ces roues soient motorisées ou non. Cela confère au véhicule ainsi équipé de très nombreux avantages par rapport aux véhicules actuels et, en particulier, la réduction des frottements et glissements, la réduction des bruits et des usures, et à puissance égale, un meilleur rendement.The means used to adapt the spacing of the wheels to that of the tracks fit without difficulty, and at lower costs, in the means for orienting the wheels curve, whether these wheels are motorized or not. This gives the vehicle thus equipped a lot of advantages over current vehicles and, in particular, the reduction of friction and slippage, the reduction of noise and wear, and at equal power, a better performance.
