Definitions

  • the invention relates to an undercar system for a railway vehicle comprising a plurality of single-axled trucks, which are intercoupled by means of steering means for directing at least one wheel axle towards the bow centre.
  • Such a undercar system is known and employed in the Talgo train.
  • Each truck located between two car bodies is provided at each wheel axle bearing with a vertical lever.
  • these levers together with steering rodspivotable at both ends and connected with the adjacent car bodies these levers constitute a complete steering system arranged in two vertical planes.
  • In travelling through an arc ranging is performed on the inner side which shortenes the steering system on the inner side, whereas on the outer side of the arc the lever system concerned is ranged out.
  • the steering means of this known undercar system comprise many pivots.
  • the invention has for its object to reduce the required number of pivots in an undercar system of the aforesaid king whilst maintaining a satisfactory directional action of the axles.
  • At least one intermediate truck arranged between other trucks, is connected by means of long lever beam arms of steering beams with two other intermediate trucks, whilst short lever beam arms of these steering beams are pivotally interconnected and these two steering beams are pivotally connected between their long and short lever beam arms with the intermediate truck.
  • At least one steering beam interconnects two successive trucks short-circuiting each body carried by these trucks.
  • at least one steering beam interconnects two successive trucks short-circuiting each body carried by these trucks.
  • the relative distances between a truck and next trucks may be unequal to one another, when the arm lengths p and g of lever arms of the two intermediate running works are unequal whilst their lengths p and g are chosen in dependence of the unequal distances.
  • the axles can be arranged below the car bodies at the most favourable places so that the free space profile is used as satisfactorily as possible.
  • the car bodies can be somewhat broader and shorter, so that a more efficient arrangement of seats in the car bodies can be realised.
  • the system described is suitable for a distribution of trucks below car bodies in a manner such that with adapted car body lengths a largest possible building width becomes possible within the limitations of the cinematic building profile.
  • the wheel sets need not be arranged below the car body ends and this has an advantageous effect of oscillation behaviour of the car body.
  • the first and the second truck are disposed near one another and movably interconnected by means of a coupling mechanism and the first truck with the second and the third truck has a prolongation extending beyond the coupling mechanism, which is pivotally connected with a short lever beam arm of a steering beam.
  • the rail vehicle 11 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 comprises three intercoupled car bodies 12 carried by an undercar system 9 embodying the invention, comprising a plurality - in this example eight - of uniaxled trucks numerated in order of succession from the left-hand end indicated in the drawing by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
  • Each truck 1 to 8 comprises a frame 10 with two pivotal arms 14 journalled theron and carrying each an axle bearing 15 holding a wheel axle 16 formed by an axle 17 and two wheels 18 rigidly secured thereto.
  • the frame 10 is bearing by means of spring packets 19 on the pivotal arms 14. Via air springs 20 and rubber springs 21 positioned in series therewith the frame 10 supports the car body 12 located above the same.
  • the trucks 1 to 8 are coupled with one another by means of steering means 24 for directing the wheel axles 16 towards a bow centre of the passed rail bow.
  • the steering means 24 comprise steering beams 27 which couple with one another the intermediate trucks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 disposed each between two other trucks by means of their long lever arms 28.
  • each intermediate truck 3 to 6 comprises a spherical pivot 31 formed by a ball pivot, the ball 33 of which is embraced in a rubber layer 34, which allows some axial movement of the steering beam 27 relatively to the frame 10.
  • the spherical pivot 32 of Fig. 8 comprises a bridge piece 37 connected by means of rubber blocks 36 to longitudinal beams 35 of a frame 10 and extending transversely of a steering beam 27.
  • a pin 38 passes through ears 39 of the frame 10 and through a rubber block 36, so that the bridge piece 37 can slightly tilt about a horizontal axis 59 located at a higher level than the steering beam.
  • the bridge piece 37 has a lower piece 40 accommodating a ball pivot 41, which is not provided with rubber spring cushions and is engaged between two inner walls 42 of the steering beam 27 through a pivot pin 43. This ensures a rigid pivot in transverse direction between the steering beam 27 with respect to the frame 10 is enabled by the turn of the bridge piece 37 about the axis line 59.
  • Each car body 12 is coupled by means of a coupling rod 49 (Fig. 3) with a steering beam 27.
  • the steering beam 27 is entirely loose from each car body 12 carried by the coupled trucks 3 to 6 or in other words the trucks are mechanicaly interconnected while short-circuiting each car body 12. As a result movement of the car body 12 cannot disturb the action of the steering means 24.
  • the trucks 1 and 8 are identical to one another.
  • the trucks 2 and 7 are also identical to one another, so that hereinafter only the trucks 1 and 2 will be described.
  • the frame 10 of the undercar is provided with a pole 44, which is coupled by means of a spherical pivot 30 with the short lever beam arm 29 of the steering beam 27, which is pivotally connected with the frame 10 of the undercar 2 by means of a spherical pivot 31.
  • the trucks 1 and 2 are disposed near one another and movably connected with one another by means of the coupling mechanism 45 consisting of a bridge piece 47 corresponding with the bridge piece 37 and extending transversely of the direction of movement 46, said bridge piece 47 being pivotally connected both to the first and the second truck 1 and 2 by means of spherical pivots 48.
  • the pole 44 constitutes a prolongation of the frame 10 extending beyond the coupling mechanism 45 of the truck 1.
  • the wheel axles 16 of the trucks 1 to 8 have pitch distances a l to a 7 (see fig. 1).
  • the places of the pivots 30, 31 and 32 in the intermediate trucks 3, 4, 5 and 6 are determined as follows.
  • the pivots 31 and 32 are disposed on both sides of the wheel axle 16 at a relative distance 2v.
  • the wheel axle 16 has an eccentrical shift e with respect to the middle of the distance 2v. In figs. 1 to 8 e is equal to v.
  • e In the case the eccentricity e for the intermediate trucks 3 and 5 is directed to the right and for the intermediate trucks 4 and 6 to the left as shown in the situation of fig.
