Definitions
- the current disclosure relates generally to leveling systems for railway vehicles, and more particularly to leveling secondary suspension systems for railway vehicles.
- railway vehicles particularly those used for public transportation, often include a superstructure for carrying passengers.
- the superstructure rides on a bogey, aiso sometimes referred to as a truck, which includes at least one wheel axle, more typically two, for traveling along the rails.
- a primary suspension system is positioned between the wheel axles and the bogey and a secondary suspension system is positioned between the bogey and superstructure.
- Superstructures have at least one access, e.g. a door, to allow passengers or cargo to enter or exit the superstructure when the railway vehicle reaches a loading platform. Because load may vary, the superstructure may sometimes need to lift or lower a variable distance to allow the floor of its access to reach the approximate level of the platform.
- leveling secondary suspension systems also referred to herein as "leveling
- a railway vehicle includes a superstructure, a bogey, and a leveling suspension including at least one coil spring positioned between the superstructure and the bogey.
- a secondary suspension-mounting lift system (SMLS) is interfaced with coil spring.
- the SMLS includes a spring-mount (SM) and a piston assembly.
- SM spring-mount
- a leveling sensor determines that the superstructure access door is below platform level.
- Pressurized hydraulic fluid acts on at least one piston and lifts the superstructure until the vehicles access door is at a predetermined level with respect to the platform level, e.g., approximately equal height as the platform level. After passenger or cargo loading and unloading, for example, fluid is released and the piston lowers the superstructure to the desired level.
- railway vehicles will include more man one leveling suspension, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.
- leveling suspensions may be positioned to raise the superstructure evenly, e.g., at least one of a front and back piston pressurized to raise the superstructure evenly and at least both sides pressured to raise the superstructure evenly.

- a pair of leveling secondary suspension systems 15 are positioned between bogey 10 and superstructure 6.
- Leveling secondary suspensions 15 include a spring 16a interfaced with a suspension-mounting lift system (SMLS) 18.
- SMLS suspension-mounting lift system
- H c lowered coasting configuration
- SMLS 18 When stopped at platform 4, for example to load or unload, SMLS 18 may be used to raise superstructure 6 to reduce the distance D between platform level 4a and access level 6b. Raising and lowering may be achieved by a variety of SMLS examples.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a cut away side view of one example of a leveling suspension, referred to as leveling suspension 115.
- leveling suspension 115 includes spring 116a interfaced with SMLS 118.
- An upper end of the leveling suspension 115 e.g. an upper surface of spring 116a may be considered interfaced with superstructure 106 or configured to interface with a superstructure.
- a lower end 118a of the SMLS may be considered interfaced with a bogey 110 or configured to attach to a bogey.
- SMLS is one example of an SMLS as disclosed herein, and may be considered a bottom mounting SMLS, because it is mounted to the bottom of spring 116a.

- Flange 120b extends externally from the coil spring and abuts one end of the coil spring. In this example, flange 120b abuts the bottom end of spring 116a.
- flanges will be frictionally attached to the spring such that, for example, no hard connection between the spring and flange is required for positional and operational stability.
- SM 120 may also include expansion surface 120c for increasing the effective area of the lift-force. As seen better in Figure 3, hydraulic fluid is capable of achieving fluid communication with, and acting on, expansion surface 120c.

- Piston assembly 122 also includes an extrusion 122b for hydraulic interface, the extrusion being in fluid communication with the piston.
- Figure 3 illustrates the leveling suspension 115 previously described, whereby pressurized hydraulic fluid inserted through extrusion 122b acts on piston 122a and lifts spring 116a, thereby lifting the superstructure.
- the piston assembly may also include a stop, e.g., stop 122c, to prevent the piston from extending beyond a predetermined distance.
- Leveling suspensions disclosed herein may be readily integrated with a variety of bogey/superstructure designs to provide a highly responsive and functional system in a narrow geometric space, which further eliminates the need for additional standalone leveling systems.
- FIG. 4 illustrates, generally, a lifting suspension 215 including spring 216a interfaced with SMLS 218; a hydraulic power unit (HPU) 240; and an electronics control unit (ECU) 260.
- ECU 260 sends signals to the HPU to raise or lower the SMLS, thereby allowing for the leveling of a superstructure.
- Figure 5 illustrates another schematic including SMLS 318, HPU 340, and ECU 360. At least one of a leveling sensor 362 and train control unit 364 may also be in

- step 2 a railway vehicle comes to a stop at a station (See Figure 1 for example).
- ECU 360 receives leveling command from TCU 364.
- step 4 leveling input valves (14) open to allow fluid to the leveling actuators (19).
- step 4a leveling pressure transducers (15) output the pressure in each leveling circuit.
- step 4b relief valves (6) between the leveling circuits ensure that both sides of the superstructure are raised evenly. Level circuits may additionally determine that the front and back portions of the superstructure are raised evenly, in step 4c, ECU monitors leveling pressure transducers (15) as part of diagnostics.
