Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Radsatzsteuerung für Drehgestelle von Schienenfahrzeugen, insbesondere Triebdrehgestelle nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a wheel set control for bogies of rail vehicles, in particular engine bogies according to the preamble of claim 1.

Radsatzsteuerungen dieser Art sind durch die DE-PS 657 293 bekanntgeworden. Die Radsatzsteuerung ist für eine Zwangssteuerung ausgebildet. Zwangssteuerungen ähnlicher Art sind auch durch die DE-PS 837 711 und die FRPS 2 510 962 bekanntgeworden.Wheel set controls of this type have become known from DE-PS 657 293. The wheelset control is designed for forced control. Forced controls of a similar type are also known from DE-PS 837 711 and FRPS 2 510 962.

Zweck der Erfindung ist eine Längskopplung der Radsätze, um diese gegensinnig einzudrehen, wenn das Fahrzeug in einem Gleisbogen fährt, und das Drehgestell gegenüber dem Wagen- bzw. Lokkasten ausdreht.The purpose of the invention is a longitudinal coupling of the wheel sets in order to turn them in opposite directions when the vehicle is traveling on a curved track and to turn the bogie out relative to the car or locomotive body.

Durch die DE-OS 3 827 412 ist ein für Schienentriebfahrzeuge gedachtes Laufwerk bekanntgeworden, bei welchem die von Achslagern ausgeübten Traktionskräfte über Gelenkhebel auf eine Drehwelle übertragen und von dort in den Laufwerksrahmen eingeleitet werden. Durch Anordnung von Zug-Druckelementen oder eine Torsionswelle ist das bekannte Laufwerk in nachteiliger Weise verhältnismäßig aufwendig in seiner Konstruktion. Mit ähnlichem Nachteil ist auch die Konstruktion nach der US-PS 4 660 476 behaftet, bei welcher an jeder Drehgestellseite auf einer Drehwelle um 90° zueinander verdrehte Steuerungshebel vorhanden sind. Bei allfälliger Verwendung reiner Zugglieder liegen diese in einer anderen Ebene als die Radsatzführungshebel, wodurch sich verhältnismäßig komplizierte Kraftschlüsse im Koppelmechanismus ergeben.From DE-OS 3 827 412 a drive intended for rail traction vehicles has become known, in which the traction forces exerted by axle bearings are transmitted to a rotary shaft via articulated levers and from there are introduced into the drive frame. By arranging tension-compression elements or a torsion shaft, the known drive is disadvantageously comparatively complex in its construction. The construction according to US Pat. No. 4,660,476 also has a similar disadvantage, in which control levers are provided on each side of the bogie on a rotating shaft that are rotated by 90 ° with respect to one another. If pure tension members are used, they are in a different plane than the wheelset guide levers, which results in relatively complicated frictional connections in the coupling mechanism.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Radsatzlängskopplung, die unter Vermeidung der Nachteile der bekannten Konstruktionen vor allem den vorlaufenden Radsatz bei dieser radialen Einstellung unterstützt.The object of the invention is to provide a longitudinal wheel coupling which, while avoiding the disadvantages of the known constructions, above all supports the leading wheel set in this radial setting.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dient die Maßnahme nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1.The measure according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1 serves to solve this problem.

Durch die Maßnahmen nach den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 vereinfacht sich die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion gegenüber den bekannten Konstruktionen, da die reinen Zugglieder gewichts- und platzsparend dimensioniert werden können.The measures according to claims 2 and 3 simplify the construction according to the invention compared to the known constructions, since the pure tension members can be dimensioned to save weight and space.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, in welcher ein Ausführungsbeispiel der gegenständlichen Radsatzsteuerung dargestellt ist.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which an embodiment of the subject wheel set control is shown.

Die einzige Figur zeigt in vereinfachter Form eine Draufsicht der Radsatzsteuerung.The single figure shows in simplified form a top view of the wheel set control.

Mit 1 ist ein Drehgestellrahmen bezeichnet, in welchem zwei Radsätze 2, 2′ mit ihren Achsen 3, 3′ und den Rädern 4, 5, 6 und 7 gelagert sind. Zum Antrieb der Räder 4 bis 7 dienen Motore 8, 8′ mit ihren Getrieben.1 with a bogie frame is referred to, in which two wheel sets 2, 2 'with their axes 3, 3' and the wheels 4, 5, 6 and 7 are mounted. To drive the wheels 4 to 7 serve motors 8, 8 'with their gears.

Jeder der beiden Radsätze 2, 2′ bzw. deren Achslagergehäuse ist an der Außenseite der Räder 4 bis 7 bzw. der Achslagergehäuse an je einen Radsatzführungshebel 9, 9A bzw. 10, 10A angeschlossen. Die beiden Radsatzführungshebel 9, 10 bzw. 9A, 10A je zweier in der Fahrtrichtung hintereinander angeordneter Räder 4, 6 bzw. 5, 7 sind an je einen Arm eines doppelarmigen Steuerungshebels 11 bzw. 11A angelenkt, welcher um einen lotrechten Zapfen 12 bzw. 12A im mittigen Querbalken 13 des Drehgestellrahmens 1 schwenkbar gelagert ist.Each of the two wheel sets 2, 2 'or their axle bearing housing is connected on the outside of the wheels 4 to 7 or the axle bearing housing to a respective wheel set guide lever 9, 9A or 10, 10A. The two wheelset guide levers 9, 10 and 9A, 10A each have two wheels 4, 6 and 5, 7 arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, are each articulated on one arm of a double-armed control lever 11 or 11A, which is connected to a vertical pin 12 or 12A is pivotally mounted in the central crossbeam 13 of the bogie frame 1.

In der mittigen Lage der Räder 4 bis 7, d.h., bei der Einstellung dieser Räder für die geradeaus Fahrt des Drehgestellrahmens, sind die beiden Steuerungshebel 11,11A schräg, d.h. sie konvergieren zueinander in der einen Fahrtrichtung. Die beiden einander jeweils gegenüberliegenden Arme der Steuerungshebel 11,11A sind vorzugsweise an der Anlenkstelle der Radsatzführungshebel 9,9A bzw. 10,10A durch eine Zugstange 14 bzw. 14′ untereinander verbunden. Nach der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion wird nur ein Steuerungshebel je Drehgestellseite benötigt, die Elemente 11, 11A, 14, 14′, 9, 9A, 10, 10A können in einer Ebene liegen, wodurch sich effektivere und einfachere Kraftflüsse im Koppelmechanismus im Gegensatz zur bekannten Konstruktion nach der US-PS 4 660 476 ergeben.In the central position of the wheels 4 to 7, ie when these wheels are set for the straight travel of the bogie frame, the two control levers 11, 11A are inclined, that is to say they converge towards one another in one direction of travel. The two each other Opposing arms of the control levers 11, 11A are preferably connected to one another at the articulation point of the wheel set guide levers 9, 9A and 10, 10A by a pull rod 14 or 14 '. According to the construction according to the invention, only one control lever is required per bogie side, the elements 11, 11A, 14, 14 ', 9, 9A, 10, 10A can lie in one plane, resulting in more effective and simple power flows in the coupling mechanism in contrast to the known construction U.S. Patent 4,660,476.

Die Radsatzführungshebel 9,9A bzw. 10,10A sowie die Zugstangen 14,14′, Hebel od.dgl. müssen eine gewisse Steifigkeit aufweisen, die durch das eingezeichnete Federsymbol angedeutet ist. Diese Hebel, Stangen od.dgl. übertragen einerseits Zugkräfte und anderseits Bremskräfte und haben auch die Aufgabe, Längsschwingungen abzufangen.The wheelset guide lever 9.9A or 10.10A and the tie rods 14.14 ', lever or the like. must have a certain stiffness, which is indicated by the spring symbol shown. These levers, rods or the like. transmit tractive forces on the one hand and braking forces on the other hand and also have the task of absorbing longitudinal vibrations.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung können verschiedene konstruktive Abänderungen vorgenommen werden. So besteht die Möglichkeit, daß die Stangen, Lenker, Hebel od.dgl. 14, 14′ die Arme der doppelarmigen Hebel 11,11A kreuzweise verbinden, oder kreuzweise und wie beschrieben. Wesentlich ist, daß mindestens ein Arm des einen doppelarmigen Hebels 11 mit einem Arm des anderen doppelarmigen Hebels 11A durch eine Stange, einen Lenker, einen Hebel od.dgl. verbunden ist.Various design changes can be made within the scope of the invention. So there is a possibility that the rods, handlebars, levers or the like. 14, 14 'cross-connect the arms of the double-armed lever 11,11A, or crosswise and as described. It is essential that at least one arm of a double-armed lever 11 with an arm of the other double-armed lever 11A by a rod, a handlebar, a lever or the like. connected is.
