Description
SPECIFICATION
TWO-PIECE BOGIE WITH A NOVEL SUSPENSION SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a two-piece bogie isolating noise and vibration in low-floor railed system vehicles and improved for providing a balanced structure to the vehicle. PRIOR ART
Because of the traffic problems particularly faced in big cities, railed systems are used in a more widespread manner. Railed systems can be classified as light rail systems, heavy rail systems, automatic systems, single rail systems and magnetic levitation systems. Among said systems, except the magnetic levitation system, vehicles have wheels; and vehicles are moved on the rails using said wheels. In local transportation, mostly light rail systems are utilized, and less frequently, heavy rail systems are utilized. As an example to light rail systems, trams and light subway trains can be given as example. These kinds of railed systems are the low-floor or high-floor systems. In light rail systems, on the rails, there is a single vehicle or there are vehicles which are in connection to each other in short sequences.
In local transportation, all of the railed system vehicles, which have wheels, comprise wheel systems, body, bogie, and suspension systems placed in between. Bogie, which is among the components forming railed system vehicles, carries out the most important function for the dynamics of the vehicle. The bogie provides the wheel movements and at the same time it carries the remaining components of the vehicle. Besides, the most important function of bogie is to provide flexibility in the structure by eliminating the rigid structure existing between the wheel axle shafts and the body during the non-linear movements of vehicles or during the movements of vehicles on deformed rails.
In addition, today, the abovementioned high floor railed systems are used frequently. However, the usage of said high floor railed system vehicles by patient and old people leads to some problems. As an alternative to high floor railed system vehicles, low floor railed system vehicles are used, and the height of these low floor railed system vehicles is generally up to 35 cm, and passengers can easily access the railed system vehicles without the need for a ramp or for a staircase. However, in said low floor railed systems, some problems are faced. Since low floor is used, the vehicle wheels should be made smaller. If
the vehicle wheels are made smaller, in cases where the vehicle follows a curved route, vibration occurs because of the lateral forces occurring in the vehicles. Moreover, the noise produced by the vehicle increases and because of said noise and said vibration, the comfort of the passengers and of the driver is deteriorated.
By means of the flexibility provided to the structure by the bogies, the vibrations of the vehicle are decreasing and the comfort of the vehicle increases both for the passengers and also for the operator. Moreover, the load applied to the chassis is decreased thanks to the flexibility of the structure and thereby metal fatigue is minimized, and the abrasions occurring in the rails and in the wheels are decreased. In addition, since the bogie comprises two flexible pieces, even if the rails are deformed in the vertical direction, the connection of the wheels on the rail is not interrupted and thus the risk of derailing is decreased.
Bogies can be classified in two classes, namely, classical bogies and advanced bogies. Classical bogies comprise a rigid frame and thus they cannot provide the flexible structure required for the railed system vehicles which particularly move on non-linear paths. The advanced bogies have various designs, and the most important difference between the advanced bogies and the classical bogies is that the advanced bogies comprise two frame pieces and these pieces are connected to each other by means of flexible members.
In railed systems, vibration comfort is improved and depending on this, the noise formation and the negations in the passenger and driver comfort are eliminated by means of the selection of a suitable bogie, and additionally, by means of the usage of bogies with advanced suspension systems. By means of a suitably designed suspension system, higher performance criteria can be provided depending on the changing load and road conditions. In bogies, generally passive suspension systems are used and said suspension systems comprise two parts. One of these parts is the primary suspension connecting the wheel system to the bogie frame and the second one is the secondary suspension positioned between the bogie frame and vehicle body.
The primary suspensions comprise rubber pads. The positions of the primary suspensions on the bogie are fixed, and the main function thereof is to dampen the vibrations between the wheels and the bogie. The secondary suspensions are the air springs which are generally called "bellow". Air springs are structures formed by covering a bearing by an elastic rubber sheath and having gas therein. The dimensions of the air springs are small and they preserve the driving height and they provide vibration and noise insulation in order to eliminate the disadvantages faced in the low floor bogies. They have an important role in
keeping the vertical position of the vehicle in a fixed position. The positions of the secondary suspensions on the bogies are changeable.
In the patent application CN2515075, a system is disclosed where the secondary suspension exists at the center of the bogie and where there is only one bogie. In this case, the suspension is close to the weight center of the vehicle; however, a single suspension system is not sufficient for the dampening process. Besides, as disclosed in the patent application JP2003025989, there may be pluralities of secondary suspensions. This provides sufficient dampening effect, and since the suspensions are provided at different positions on the bogie, deviation from the weight center of the vehicle occurs and the driving comfort is deteriorated. Moreover, since the bogie structures described in said patent applications are rigid structures, the movement of the railed system vehicle is limited, and the flexibility of said bogies is at a low level. In order to provide a solution to the abovementioned problems, the applicant has a patent application 201 1/07418. In said application, a two-piece bogie structure is disclosed in order to provide flexibility to the bogie structure and in order to decrease the vibrations occurring in the railed system vehicles. However, since the flexibility provided by said bogie is insufficient for increasing vibration comfort, the application numbered 201 1/07418 is improved for providing increase in vibration comfort.
As a result, by means of the improvements provided by the novel functions to be added to the two-piece bogie application, the novel system, disclosed in the patent application 201 1/07418, will be much more effective.

The wheel system (70) essentially comprises an axle shaft (71 ) and wheel sets (72) having wheels, which are connected to the axle shaft (71 ) and whose radius is equal to r, at both ends of said axle shaft (71 ). The axle shaft (71 ) comprises a placement part (712) extending at the continuation of the axle shaft (71 ) and accommodating a greater width than the width of the axle shaft (71 ), and a connection sidewall (71 1 ) provided at the continuation of the axle shaft (71 ) in the middle of said placement part (712). The wheel systems (70) are positioned under the bogie (10). This positioning is provided so that the wheel sets (72) correspond under the mutual seating parts (33) at the carrier part (20, 30). The wheel sets (72) are placed under the placement plate (234, 334) and the axle shafts (71 ) are extending between the two carrier parts (20, 30) so as to exist in an extension axis which is substantially parallel to the extension axes of the beams (40). The positioning of the axle shafts (71 ) between the carrier parts (20, 30) is provided by the connection of the connection sidewalls (712) to said recess parts (233, 333).
As a result of the connection of the bogie (10) and of the wheel systems (70) to the chassis of the railed system vehicle, the seating part (23, 33) of the bogie (10) and axle shaft (71 ) in the wheel system (70) are seated completely onto each other thanks to the structures thereof, and a railed system vehicle which has a 100 % low floor is provided. In addition, since the bogie (10) is embodied in a two-piece manner and since the connection between the beams (40) and the carrier parts (20, 30) provides movement, a flexible bogie (10) is provided. The wheel diameters of the wheel sets (72), provided in present low floor railed system vehicles, are small. This leads to more noise and vibration of the railed system vehicle during driving of the railed system vehicle. As the wheel diameter is made bigger, a decrease in noise and vibration formation is obtained in the two-piece bogie (10). The wheel diameter is made bigger in an adjusted manner thanks to the form of the seating part (23, 33). In this form, the placement height (h) of the wall part (232, 332) is determined taking the maximum wheel radius (r) into consideration.
The secondary suspensions (60) are positioned so as to correspond to a position on the wheels in said housings (236, 336) provided on the seating parts (23, 33). This provides the secondary suspensions (60) to be approached to the weight center of the railed system vehicle and leads to an increase in the vibration comfort. In addition, since the secondary suspensions (60) are provided at a position on the wheels, saving from space on the bogie (10) is provided. This provides the engines, which cannot be positioned under the railed system vehicles comprising low floor and two-piece bogie (10), to be positioned in said engine housing (24, 34) on the bogie (10). The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed Claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
