Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Begrenzen des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen miteinander über jeweils ein Gelenk verbundener Wagenkästen eines mehrteiligen Schienenfahrzeuges, bei dem jeder Wagenkasten auf nur einem Drehgestell abgestützt ist, wobei der Winkel durch ein mit dem Gelenk verbundenes elektrisch geregeltes Stellglied aktiv beeinflusst wird bis er einen Sollwert einnimmt und wobei dieser Sollwert aus den Ausdrehwinkeln (auch Relativwinkel genannt) der Drehgestelle relativ zu den zugehörigen Wagenkästen bestimmt wird.The invention relates to a method for limiting the angle between the longitudinal axes with each other via a joint connected car bodies of a multi-part rail vehicle, wherein each car body is supported on only one bogie, wherein the angle is actively influenced by a connected to the joint electrically controlled actuator it assumes a desired value and wherein this desired value from the Ausdrehwinkeln (also called relative angle) of the bogies is determined relative to the associated car bodies.

Ein solches Verfahren ist aus der veröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 28 54 776 A1 bekannt.Such a method is known from the published German patent application DE 28 54 776 A1 known.

Ein mehrteiliges Schienenfahrzeug ist z. B. aus der
DE 21 23 876 A bekannt. Bei diesem so genannten Gelenkwagen kommt es darauf an, dass bei einer Kurvenfahrt das Lichtraumprofil nicht verletzt wird. Dazu werden einem Gelenk zwei Hydraulikzylinder zugeordnet, die mit einer Leitung für Hydraulikflüssigkeit verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise gelingt es, ein zu starkes Ausknicken der Wagenteile gegeneinander zu verhindern.A multipart rail vehicle is z. B. from the
DE 21 23 876 A known. In this so-called articulated vehicle, it is important that the clearance gauge is not injured when cornering. For this purpose, two hydraulic cylinders are associated with a joint, which are connected to a line for hydraulic fluid. In this way, it is possible to prevent excessive buckling of the car parts against each other.

Aus der EP 0 877 694 B1 ist ein ergänzendes Verfahren zur Beeinflussung des Knickwinkels zwischen miteinander verbundenen Wagenkästen bekannt. Dabei muss der Verlauf der Gleistrasse, die vom Schienenfahrzeug zu befahren ist, erfasst und abgebildet werden. Dann wird der Knickwinkel zwischen benachbarten Wagenkästen durch einen Aktuator in Abhängigkeit von der Gleistrasse so verändert, dass das Lichtraumprofil nicht verletzt wird.From the EP 0 877 694 B1 is a complementary method for influencing the bending angle between interconnected car bodies known. In this case, the course of the track, which is to be traveled by the rail vehicle, must be recorded and displayed. Then, the bending angle between adjacent car bodies is changed by an actuator in response to the track so that the clearance gauge is not violated.

Die bekannten Verfahren zum Begrenzen des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen miteinander verbundener Wagenkästen sind entweder nicht zuverlässig genug oder sehr aufwändig.The known methods for limiting the angle between the longitudinal axes of interconnected car bodies are either not reliable enough or very expensive.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein hinsichtlich seiner praktischen Anwendung besonders vorteilhaftes Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a particularly advantageous in terms of its practical application method of the type mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird für ein Verfahren zum Begrenzen des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen miteinander über jeweils ein Gelenk verbundener Wagenkästen eines mehrteiligen Schienenfahrzeuges, bei dem jeder Wagenkasten auf nur einem Drehgestell abgestützt ist, wobei der Winkel durch ein mit dem Gelenk verbundenes elektrisch geregeltes Stellglied aktiv beeinflusst wird bis er einen Sollwert einnimmt und wobei dieser Sollwert aus den Ausdrehwinkeln (Relativwinkeln) der Drehgestelle relativ zu den zugehörigen Wagenkästen bestimmt wird, gemäß einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Lösung dadurch gelöst, dass zum Einstellen des Winkels die kinetische Energie und/oder die potentielle Energie der Federung des Schienenfahrzeuges genutzt wird.This object is achieved by a method for limiting the angle between the longitudinal axes with each other via a hinge jointed car bodies of a multi-part rail vehicle, wherein each car body is supported on only one bogie, wherein the angle is actively influenced by an electrically controlled actuator connected to the joint until it assumes a desired value and wherein this desired value is determined from the angle of rotation (relative angles) of the bogies relative to the associated car bodies, according to a first inventive solution achieved in that for adjusting the angle, the kinetic energy and / or the potential energy of the suspension of the Rail vehicle is used.

Mit diesem Verfahren wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass einerseits ein elektrisch geregeltes Stellglied eingesetzt wird, das besonders zuverlässig den Winkel zwischen den Wagenkästen begrenzt und dass zum Regeln dieses Stellgliedes keine aufwändige Erfassung der Gleistrasse notwendig ist. Es ist also mit einfachen Mitteln möglich, ein mehrteiliges Schienenfahrzeug, bei dem jeder Wagenkasten auf nur einem Drehgestell abgestützt ist, auch bei engen Kurven oder engen Bogenfolgen zuverlässig im Lichtraumprofil zu halten. Es kann nicht zu Beschädigungen durch einen Zusammenstoß mit außerhalb des Lichtraumprofiles angeordneten Geräten kommen. Erfindungsgemäß wird zum Einstellen des Winkels die kinetische Energie und/oder die potentielle Energie der Federung des Schienenfahrzeuges genutzt. Damit wird der besondere Vorteil erzielt, dass für das Einstellen des Winkels keine externe Hilfsenergie notwendig ist.With this method, the advantage is achieved that on the one hand, an electrically controlled actuator is used, which limits the angle between the car bodies particularly reliable and that no elaborate detection of the track is necessary to control this actuator. So it is possible with simple means, a multi-part rail vehicle, in which each car body is supported on only one bogie to keep reliable even in tight bends or tight bow sequences in the gauge. It can not be damaged by a collision with outside of the clearance gauge arranged devices. According to the kinetic energy and / or the potential energy of the suspension of the rail vehicle is used to adjust the angle. Thus, the particular advantage is achieved that no external auxiliary power is necessary for adjusting the angle.

Die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe wird für ein Verfahren zum Begrenzen des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen miteinander über jeweils ein Gelenk verbundener Wagenkästen eines mehrteiligen Schienenfahrzeuges, bei dem jeder Wagenkasten auf nur einem Drehgestell abgestützt ist, wobei der Winkel durch ein mit dem Gelenk verbundenes elektrisch geregeltes Stellglied aktiv beeinflusst wird bis er einen Sollwert einnimmt und wobei dieser Sollwert aus den Ausdrehwinkeln (Relativwinkeln) der Drehgestelle relativ zu den zugehörigen Wagenkästen bestimmt wird, gemäß einer zweiten erfindungsgemäßen Lösung weiterhin dadurch gelöst, dass die auf das Gelenk einwirkende Kraft gemessen und in die Regelung des Stellgliedes einbezogen wird und dass, wenn diese Kraft den Winkel vom Sollwert weg verändert, das Stellglied blockiert wird oder blockiert bleibt.The object underlying the invention is for a method for limiting the angle between the longitudinal axes with each other via a joint connected car bodies of a multi-part rail vehicle, wherein each car body is supported on only one bogie, wherein the angle by a connected to the joint electrically controlled actuator is actively influenced until it assumes a target value and this setpoint is determined from the Ausdrehwinkeln (relative angles) of the bogies relative to the associated car bodies, according to a second inventive solution further solved in that the force acting on the joint measured and in the Control of the actuator is included and that when this force changes the angle away from the setpoint, the actuator is blocked or remains blocked.

Hierbei wird somit die auf das Gelenk einwirkende Kraft gemessen und in die Regelung des Stellgliedes einbezogen und wenn diese Kraft den Winkel vom Sollwert weg verändert, wird das Stellglied blockiert oder bleibt blockiert. Damit wird der besondere zusätzliche Vorteil erzielt, dass sich das Gelenk nicht bewegen muss, um zu erkennen, dass es sich nicht zu einem ungewünschten Winkel hin bewegt. Es wird ein zu starkes Einknicken benachbarter Wagenkästen gegeneinander auch unter Wirkung statischer Kräfte zuverlässig verhindert.Hereby, the force acting on the joint is thus measured and included in the control of the actuator and when this force changes the angle away from the setpoint, the actuator is blocked or remains blocked. This provides the added benefit that the joint does not have to move to detect that it is not moving to an undesired angle. It is too strong buckling adjacent car bodies against each other reliably prevented even under the action of static forces.

Beispielsweise wird zum Einstellen des Winkels externe Hilfsenergie genutzt. Damit wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass der Winkel auch bei nicht bewegtem Fahrzeug (statisch wirkende Kräfte) gleich bleibt. Diese Hilfsenergie kann beim Abschleppen von dem abschleppenden Fahrzeug kommen.For example, external auxiliary power is used to adjust the angle. This provides the advantage that the angle remains the same even when the vehicle is not moving (statically acting forces). This auxiliary power can come when towing the towing vehicle.

Beispielsweise wird die Hilfsenergie abhängig von den Fahrzuständen und/oder der Fahrzeugkonfiguration genutzt.For example, the auxiliary power is used depending on the driving conditions and / or the vehicle configuration.

Beispielsweise wird die Kraft durch ein Druckbegrenzungsventil im Stellglied begrenzt, so dass ein Entgleisen der Drehgestelle nicht auftreten kann.For example, the force is limited by a pressure limiting valve in the actuator, so that a derailment of the bogies can not occur.

Beispielsweise wird das Stellglied zeitlich begrenzt blockiert. Es kann nicht zu einem zu langen Ausfall des Stellgliedes kommen. Fehler werden reduziert.For example, the actuator is blocked for a limited time. It can not come to a too long failure of the actuator. Errors are reduced.

Beispielsweise wird nur eine Veränderung des Winkels in der vom Sollwert wegführenden Richtung durch Blockieren des Stellgliedes verhindert und eine Veränderung des Winkels in die entgegengesetzte Richtung wird nicht eingeschränkt. Damit wird die Regelung wesentlich vereinfacht.For example, only a change of the angle in the direction away from the target value is prevented by blocking the actuator, and a change of the angle in the opposite direction is not restricted. This considerably simplifies the regulation.

Beispielsweise ist das Gelenk ein Einfachgelenk und der Sollwert wird bestimmt als Wert, bei dem die Differenz der Relativwinkel zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten für die verbunden Wagenkästen Null beträgt. Damit wird der Winkel zwischen den Wagenkästen zuverlässig begrenzt.For example, the joint is a single joint and the target value is determined as a value at which the difference between the relative angle between bogie and car body for the connected car bodies is zero. This reliably limits the angle between the car bodies.

Nach einem anderen Beispiel ist das Gelenk ein Doppelgelenk mit zwei in Längsrichtung des Schienenfahrzeuges beabstandeten senkrechten Drehachsen und der Sollwert wird bestimmt als Wert, bei dem der Relativwinkel zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten an mindestens einem der verbundenen Wagenkästen Null beträgt. Es kann ausreichen, in diesem Fall nur einen der miteinander verbundenen Wagenkästen und sein Drehgestell zu betrachten.As another example, the joint is a double joint with two vertical axes of rotation spaced apart longitudinally of the rail vehicle, and the target value is determined as the value at which the relative angle between the bogie and the body on at least one of the connected bodies is zero. It may be sufficient in this case to consider only one of the interconnected car bodies and its bogie.

Beispielsweise ist das Doppelgelenk Teil eines Wagenkastens, der kein Drehgestell hat (Sänftenmodul). Dabei ist in Längsrichtung des Schienenfahrzeuges die eine senkrechte Drehachse vor dem Sänftenmodul und die andere senkrechte Drehachse hinter dem Sänftenmodul angeordnet. Es wird wie beim einfachen Doppelgelenk nur der Relativwinkel zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten an einem der durch das Sänftenmodul verbundenen Wagenkästen betrachtet.For example, the double joint part of a car body that has no bogie (litter module). In this case, a vertical axis of rotation in front of the sedan module and the other vertical axis of rotation behind the sedan module is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle. It is regarded as the simple double joint only the relative angle between the bogie and the car body on one of the car seat boxes connected by the sedan module.

Beispielsweise ist das Schienenfahrzeug dreiteilig und der Sollwert wird bestimmt als Wert, bei dem die Beziehung C1·γ1+ C2·γ2+C3·γ3=0 gilt, wobei C1, C2 und C3 frei wählbare Konstanten und γ1, γ2 und γ3 die Relativwinkel zwischen Drehgestell und Wagenkasten an den drei Wagenkästen sind.For example, the rail vehicle is in three parts and the target value is determined as the value at which the relation C 1 .gamma. 1 + C 2 .gamma. 2 + C 3 .gamma. 3 = 0 holds, where C 1 , C 2 and C 3 are arbitrary constants and γ 1 , γ 2 and γ 3 are the relative angles between the bogie and the body at the three bodies.

Eine entsprechende Berechnung ist auch bei vierteiligen und noch längeren mehrteiligen Schienenfahrzeugen entsprechend möglich.A corresponding calculation is also possible in four-part and even longer multipart rail vehicles accordingly.

Mit den bisher genannten Verfahren können vorteilhaft mehrteilige Schienenfahrzeuge konstruiert werden, die z. B. zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben oder acht Wagenkästen aufweisen.With the previously mentioned methods advantageously multi-part rail vehicles can be constructed, the z. B. have two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight car bodies.

Beispielsweise wird die Bewegung des Stellgliedes räumlich und/oder zeitlich begrenzt. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass der Winkel so groß wird, dass das Lichtraumprofil verletzt wird oder sogar das Schienenfahrzeug entgleist.For example, the movement of the actuator is spatially and / or temporally limited. In this way it is prevented that the angle becomes so large that the clearance gauge is injured or even derailed the rail vehicle.

Beispielsweise erfolgt ein Blockieren des Stellgliedes oder ein Begrenzen (Dämpfen) der Bewegung des Stellgliedes in Abhängigkeit von der Fahrgeschwindigkeit und/oder sonstigen Fahrzuständen des Schienenfahrzeuges. Bei einer hohen Geschwindigkeit kann es nämlich zu ungewünschten Bewegungen der Wagenkästen kommen. Das Begrenzen (Dämpfen) der Bewegung des Stellgliedes kann beispielsweise ab einer Geschwindigkeit von 60 km/h sinnvoll sein.For example, there is a blocking of the actuator or a limiting (damping) of the movement of the actuator in dependence on the driving speed and / or other driving conditions of the rail vehicle. At a high speed, it can namely come to unwanted movements of the car bodies. The limiting (damping) of the movement of the actuator can be useful, for example, from a speed of 60 km / h.

Das Stellglied wird beispielsweise bei einer Schnellbremsung und/oder beim Abschleppen blockiert. Insbesondere bei einer Schnellbremsung werden auf diese Weise zu große Winkel zwischen den Wagenkästen vermieden.The actuator is blocked for example during rapid braking and / or towing. In particular, in an emergency braking too large angle between the car bodies are avoided in this way.

Der Betrag einer zulässigen Abweichung des Winkels vom Sollwert wird beispielsweise in Abhängigkeit von der Geschwindigkeit und/oder dem Zustand des Schienenfahrzeuges verändert. Damit wird ausgeschlossen, dass der Winkel bei z. B. hoher Geschwindigkeit oder z. B. beim Abschleppen zu häufig aktiv verändert wird. Es wird verhindert, dass der Winkel in kurzen zeitlichen Abständen verändert wird.The amount of a permissible deviation of the angle from the desired value is changed, for example, as a function of the speed and / or the state of the rail vehicle. This excludes that the angle at z. B. high speed or z. B. is actively changed when towing too often. It is prevented that the angle is changed in short time intervals.

Das Stellglied ist beispielsweise als elektromechanischer, pneumatischer, hydraulischer oder elektrohydraulischer Stellantrieb ausgeführt.The actuator is designed for example as an electromechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuator.

Beispielsweise wird der Winkel durch zwei elektrohydraulische Stellantriebe mit Differentialzylinder beeinflusst.For example, the angle is influenced by two electro-hydraulic actuators with differential cylinder.

Alle diese Varianten für Stellglieder sind in gleicher Weise gut geeignet.All these variants for actuators are well suited in the same way.

Beispielsweise umfasst der Stellantrieb des Stellgliedes eine Kammer mit darin beweglichem Kolben.For example, the actuator of the actuator comprises a chamber with piston movable therein.

Zum Blockieren oder Begrenzen (Dämpfen) wird die Kammer beispielsweise ganz oder teilweise verschlossen. Auf diese Weise ist das gewünschte Blockieren oder Begrenzen besonders einfach durchführbar.For blocking or limiting (damping), the chamber is completely or partially closed, for example. In this way, the desired blocking or limiting is particularly easy to carry out.

Beispielsweise werden zum Blockieren des Winkels entweder nur die Kolbenkammern, nur die Ringkammern oder die Kolben- und die Ringkammern abgesperrt, wodurch unterschiedliche Steifigkeiten des Mediums im Stellantrieb erzeugt werden.For example, only the piston chambers, only the annular chambers or the piston and the annular chambers are blocked to block the angle, whereby different stiffnesses of the medium are generated in the actuator.

Die Kammer ist beispielsweise zur Zuführung externer Hilfsenergie mit einer Speisepumpe verbunden. Mit der Speisepumpe kann Hydraulikflüssigkeit herangeführt werden.For example, the chamber is connected to a feed pump for supplying external auxiliary power. With the feed pump hydraulic fluid can be introduced.

Dem Stellantrieb wird beispielsweise Hilfsenergie jeweils nur in die Kolben- oder Ringkammer durch Elektromotor und Pumpe zugeführt.The actuator, for example, auxiliary energy is supplied only in the piston or annular chamber by electric motor and pump.

Die Kammer ist beispielsweise mit einem Mediumtank über ein Ventil verbunden. Dieser Mediumtank kann die erforderliche Hydraulikflüssigkeit enthalten.For example, the chamber is connected to a medium tank via a valve. This medium tank can contain the required hydraulic fluid.

Die Bewegung des Stellgliedes erfolgt beispielsweise mittels eines Nachsaugventils zwischen Kolben- und/oder Ringkammer einerseits und Mediumtank andererseits, sowie mittels eines Schalt- oder Proportionalventils, das zur Entlastung der Zylinderkammern in den Mediumtank dient.The movement of the actuator is effected for example by means of a Nachsaugventils between the piston and / or annular chamber on the one hand and the medium tank on the other hand, and by means of a Switching or proportional valve, which serves to relieve the cylinder chambers in the medium tank.

Beispielsweise ist zum Begrenzen (Dämpfen) der Bewegung des Stellgliedes dieses mit in festen Stufen veränderbaren Ventilen und/oder mit Proportionalventilen verbunden. Solche Ventile sind vorteilhaft gut geeignet, den Zustrom von Hydraulikflüssigkeit zu regeln.For example, for limiting (damping) the movement of the actuator, this is connected to fixed-stage variable valves and / or proportional valves. Such valves are advantageously well suited to regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid.

Mit dem Verfahren zum Begrenzen des Winkels zwischen den Längsachsen miteinander verbundener Wagenkästen nach der Erfindung wird insbesondere der Vorteil erzielt, dass mit einfachen Mitteln bei einem mehrteiligen Schienenfahrzeug, dessen Wagenkästen jeweils auf nur einem Drehgestell abgestützt sind, eine Verletzung des Lichtraumprofiles in Kurven verhindert wird.With the method for limiting the angle between the longitudinal axes of interconnected car bodies according to the invention, the advantage is achieved in particular that with simple means in a multi-part rail vehicle whose car bodies are each supported on only one bogie, a violation of the clearance gauge is prevented in curves.

Method according to one of Claims 1 to 11, characterized in that the rail vehicle is in three parts, and in that the target value is determined as a value in which the relationship is C1·γ1+C2·γ2+C3·γ3=0, where C1, C2 and C3 are freely selectable constants and γ1, γ2 and γ3 are the pivot angles between bogie and car body at the three car bodies.
  13. Method according to one of Claims 1 to 12, characterized in that the movement of the activation member is limited spatially and/or in terms of time.
  14. Method according to one of Claims 2 to 13, characterized in that the activation member is blocked or the movement of the activation member is limited as a function of the travelling speed and/or other travelling states of the rail vehicle.
  15. Method according to one of Claims 2 to 14, characterized in that the activation member is blocked during emergency braking and/or during towing.
  16. Method according to one of Claims 1 to 15, characterized in that the magnitude of a permissible deviation of the angle from the target value is changed as a function of the speed and/or the state of the rail vehicle.
  17. Method according to one of Claims 1 to 16, characterized in that the activation member is designed as an electromechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic or electrohydraulic activation drive.
  18. Method according to one of Claims 1 to 17, characterized in that the angle is influenced by two electrohydraulic activation drives with a differential cylinder.
  19. Method according to either of Claims 17 and 18, characterized in that the activation drive of the activation member comprises a chamber with a piston which is movable therein.
  20. Method according to Claim 19, characterized in that, for the blocking or limiting, the chamber is entirely or partially closed.
  21. Method according to either of Claims 19 and 20, characterized in that, for the blocking of the angle, either only the piston chambers, only the annular chambers or the piston and annular chambers are shut off, thus producing differing stiffnesses of the medium in the activation drive.
  22. Method according to one of Claims 19 to 21, characterized in that the chamber is connected to a feed pump for the supply of external auxiliary energy.
  23. Method according to one of Claims 19 to 22, characterized in that auxiliary energy is supplied to the activation drive, each time only into the piston chamber or annular chamber, by an electric motor and pump.
  24. Method according to one of Claims 19 to 23, characterized in that the chamber is connected to a medium tank via a valve.
  25. Method according to Claim 24, characterized in that the activation member is moved between the piston chamber and/or annular chamber, on the one hand, and the medium tank, on the other hand, by means of a suction follow-up valve, and by means of a switching or proportional valve which serves to unload the cylinder chamber into the medium tank.
  26. Method according to one of Claims 1 to 25, characterized in that, to limit the movement of the activation member, the latter is connected to valves which are changeable in fixed stages and/or to proportional valves.
