Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chassis for rail vehicles with at least four wheel sets and at least two wheel sets combined to form a bogie and are connected via coupling and guide elements to a bogie frame and the bogie frame is rotatably arranged relative to a vehicle frame.
  • Trolleys are already known which, by stiff longitudinal guidance of the wheel sets, prevent self-excited vibrations from occurring and ensure safe transmission of the drive and braking forces. Because of the large restoring forces that are counteracted by the turning of the wheel sets by such longitudinal guides, these wheel sets cannot set themselves completely radially in the curve. The remaining skewing induces an outward lateral force on the leading wheelset of the bogie and on the trailing wheel set a force pointing to the center of the curve. As a result of the torque effect, the bogie is anti-radial. This is called a gauntlet or rear freewheel.
  • trolleys which have two wheel sets coupled in opposite directions by a mechanical coupling device and whose wheel profile and longitudinal wheel set are designed in such a way that the elastic restoring forces which counteract the turning out of the wheel sets on the bogie frame are smaller than those produced by the tread taper of the wheels Longitudinal forces.
  • Such cross-coupled drives have the disadvantage that, because of the low longitudinal rigidity of the wheelset guides, additional links are required for the transmission of traction or braking force. Furthermore, wheel profiles are particularly required.
  • the couplings between the vehicle frame and the wheel sets can have a negative effect on the stability when running in a straight line.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a generic chassis for rail vehicles, which ensures the radial adjustability of the wheel sets during sheet travel with a low outlay on mechanical coupling devices, reduces wear to a minimum and thus ensures good traction power in sheet travel and stability during running not affected in the straight line.
  • force-controlled actuators such as air bellows cylinders
  • the actuators are articulated on the end wheel sets of the bogies and are mounted on the wheel set bearings for radial turning out attack the wheelset against the bogie frame and that the actuators are arranged parallel to trailing arms with a spring package braced against each other for the longitudinal suspension.
  • actuators such as adjusting motors for adjusting a spindle via a driven nut, are articulated, which act on the wheelset bearings for radially turning out the wheelset relative to the bogie frame, and that the actuators in series with trailing arms Wheelset longitudinal restraint are arranged.
  • the run-on angles of the wheel sets can be freely adapted to the degree required to transmit centrifugal forces.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is created in that a sensor is arranged as a measuring element between the vehicle frame and the bogie frame and the actuators are adjustable in accordance with the turning angle determined by the sensor.
  • a sensor is arranged on each bogie frame and the actuators can be adjusted jointly according to the mean value of the two turning angles via a control device.
  • the particular advantage of this arrangement is that the arc passed through can be determined very precisely from an average turning angle.
  • actuators 9, 9 ' can of course also be used. If these elements can exert both tensile and compressive forces, there is the possibility of either positioning the actuators 9.9 'only on one side of the wheel sets 6.6' or switching the actuators 9.9 'in such a way that they are on the outside of the bow lying a spreading, the lying on the inside of the arch produce a contracting force of half the size.
  • a chassis with a radial control is shown by a position-controlled actuator 11.
  • the wheel set 6 is guided analogously to the manner outlined in FIG. 1.
  • the function of the spring assembly 8, 8 ' is carried out by spherical bearings at the ends of the trailing arm 10.
  • FIG. 3 A detailed version of a position-controlled actuator in the form of a mechanical adjusting device is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the trailing arm 10 is connected via the spherical bearing and two claws 12 to a movement spindle 13, the bearings 16 between a spindle nut 14 and a fastening block 17 ensuring that the spindle nut 14 can rotate freely about its axis, but is axially fixed and thus absorbs the longitudinal forces of the wheel set 6.
  • the spindle nut 14 via a gear wheel 15 with the aid of an adjusting motor, the rotary movement of the spindle nut is transmitted to an axial movement of the spindle 13 and the spherical bearing.
  • hydraulic cylinders can of course also be used.
  • FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of a sensor 18 for controlling the actuators 9, 9 '; 11 on the basis of a schematic shown bogie.
  • the turning angle between bogie frame 3 and vehicle frame 1 is determined from a distance measurement between the sensor 18 and a measuring surface attached to the vehicle frame 1.
  • the angle measurement is expediently carried out in the longitudinal direction, since the displaceability between the bogie frame and the vehicle frame is generally smaller in the longitudinal direction than in the lateral direction.
  • FIG. 5 shows an arrangement of two bogies with sensors 18, 18 'and a logical combination of the two measurement signals on the basis of a rail vehicle standing in the track channel.
  • the turning angle ( ⁇ , ⁇ ') with respect to the vehicle frame 1 is measured.
