Definitions

  • the invention relates to an intercirculation device between two cars of a rail transport unit, the cars being articulated together as is the case for high-speed trains.
  • the ends of the cars are either load-bearing or carried.
  • a load-bearing end rests on a bogie and supports a carried end.
  • the intercirculation ring is formed by the association of a carrying ring (secured to the carrying end of a car) and a fixed ring (secured to the carried end of the adjacent car) .
  • the carrier ring rests on the bogie by means of secondary suspension elements.
  • the worn ring is articulated to the carrying ring thanks to a ball joint.
  • a new intercirculation device comprising an intercirculation ring formed in a single part and integral with the bogie.
  • the ends of the cars have identical members intended to hang on the intercirculation ring.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore an intercirculation device between two cars of a rail transport unit, the cars being articulated together, and connected by a bogie, the device comprising an interconnection base secured to the bogie connecting the two cars. , the ends of the cars comprising identical hooking means intended for cooperate with reception means carried by said base to articulate the cars with one another, these reception means being arranged in a structure symmetrical with respect to the center of the bogie, this intercirculation device having the characteristics of the characterizing part of Claim 1.
  • each end of the car comprises a platform of reduced width compared to the width of the car, the end of the platform comprising at its lower part a hooking element.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an intercirculation ring 1 according to the invention and equipped with various members: vertical suspension cylinders 2, lateral suspension cylinders 3, connecting rods 4.
  • the ring 1 also includes a pivot hinge 5.
  • the ring 1 is made from sheets (for example steel or aluminum) cut and formed and which have been welded together. It comprises a base 6, a roof 7 and two lateral flanks 8. The movement of passengers from one car to another will therefore be by passage inside the ring.
  • the lateral sides 8 have horizontal arms 9 in the lower part where the vertical suspension cylinders 2 are hung. Under the base 6, the other members 3 and 4 can also be hung using conventional techniques for those skilled in the art.
  • the intercirculation ring comprises a part intended to receive fastening elements carried by cars.
  • this receiving part is a hinge pivot 5.
  • the hinge pivot 5 comprises a kind of vase 10 provided in its center with a stud 11.
  • the vase 10 is centered in a hole made in one of the sheets constituting the base of the ring 1 and rests on a bottom sheet.
  • the articulation pivot 5 is fixed to the base 6, for example by welding.
  • the intercirculation ring is made integral with the bogie supporting the ends of two vehicles.
  • This can for example be the bogie 20 shown in FIG. 2 and which consists of two side members 21 joined by two crosspieces 22.
  • Each crosspiece is provided transversely with arms 23 intended to support axles not shown by means of axle-carrying elements 24 fixed to the arms 23.
  • the ring 1 is fixed to the bogie 20 by means of the suspension members 2, 3 and by means of the connecting rods 4.
  • the vertical suspension jacks 2 have their ends shown free in FIG. 1 retained between the external parts of the flanges 25.
  • the two jacks of lateral suspension 3, fixed on one side to the base of the ring 1, are fixed on the other side to the bogie according to the internal parts of two pairs of flanges 25 not located opposite.
  • the two immobilizing connecting rods 4 between ring and bogie are fixed in opposition to the fixing elements 26 secured to the bogie. These connecting rods are used to take up the traction and braking forces.
  • the articulation ring 1 being thus mounted on the bogie 20, the articulation pivot is located in the center of the bogie.
  • FIG. 3 represents one of the ends of a car 30, it being understood that the other end is identical to it.
  • the end of the car ends in a central platform 31 of reduced width compared to the width of the car.
  • the end of the platform 31 has, at its lower part, a hooking element 32 intended to be inserted in the articulation pivot 5 of the ring 1, between the stud 11 and the edge of the vase 10 who is the most close to the car.
  • the attachment element 32 has a section in the form of a crown sector so that it can be inserted into the articulation pivot 5.
  • FIG. 4 represents, in longitudinal section, a partial view of the intercirculation device according to the invention.
  • the articulation pivot 5 carried by the ring 1
  • the attachment elements 32 carried by the ends 31 of the cars 30.
  • Each attachment element 32 fits into the annular depression of the articulation pivot 5.
  • the articulation of the cars is achieved by a circular movement of the fastening elements 32 around the stud 11. These circular movements are ensured and controlled by orientation systems 35 placed between each fastening element 32 and the pivot of articulation 5.
  • FIG. 5 represents an elastic orientation system 35 usable by the device according to the invention. It is formed by two elastic blocks 36 and 37 in the form of a metal-rubber crown sector for example, the sectors being at the same angle at the top.
  • the blocks 36 and 37 are made integral with one another by a strip 38, preferably metallic, for example steel, to which they are fixed.
  • the orientation system 35 is placed in the articulation pivot 5, on either side of the stud 11.
  • the block 37 can be fixed by its external face 39 on the stud 11.
  • the block 36 can be fixed by its external face 40 on the peripheral internal face of the vessel 10.
  • Each attachment element 32 is then placed in the interior space delimited by the band 38 to occupy all this space there.
  • attachment element 32 There may be mechanical connections between the attachment element 32 and faces of the orientation system 35 in contact with this element.
  • a system of the tenon and mortise type can be provided between the blocks 36 and 37 (and the corresponding parts of the strip 38) and the hooking element 32.
  • the rigidity of the rubber constituting the blocks 36 and 37 ensures the rotation of the cars while allowing an elastic return.
