Wheel tread, wheel, gauge-changeable steering system and vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of rail transit equipment, and particularly relates to a wheel tread, a wheel, a gauge-changeable steering system and a vehicle. The wheel tread is appliedto a gauge-changeable rail, the rail matched with the wheel tread is provided with at least two rail cants, the wheel tread comprises a rim, a high-taper area, a normal working area and a low-taper area which are connected continuously and smoothly, and the rim and the high-taper area are provided with opposite arc-shaped end faces respectively; a rolling circle is formed in the normal working area, the position where the rolling circle is located is a tread horizontal datum line, and when the rolling circle transversely moves, the normal working area and the rail are matched with corresponding equivalent tapers under each set of gauges and rail cants respectively. The wheel tread can adapt to two or more gauge rail system environments, and can enable a high-speed train to have a good wheel-rail contact relation, so that the train can run more stably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rail transit equipment, in particular to a wheel tread, a wheel, a variable-gauge steering system and a vehicle. Background technique [0002] There are differences in the parameters of the track system in different countries. The difference is mainly due to the different gauges and bottom slopes of the tracks in different countries. Among them, the gauge difference ranges from 1000 to 1667 mm, the rail bottom slope difference ranges from 1 / 20 to 1 / 40, and the rail profiles and grinding standards are also different. [0003] On the one hand, there are many different gauges in the railways of many countries. For example, China adopts 1435mm standard gauge, which covers 60% of the world's railways; while Russia adopts 1520mm gauge. And because the wheels are usually tapered treads, when the gauge expands due to the outward movement of one strand of steel rail, the action point of one side of the wheel and ...

[0004] On the other hand, when there is a large difference in the rail bottom slope, it is easy to make the wheel-rail contact relationship poor, the contact point distribution is uneven, most of the contact points are concentrated in inappropriate positions, and there is no contact point transition in the root area of ​​the wheel rim, so that The wheel-rail contact surface is small, the wheel-rail force is uneven, the lateral bias force is large, and the additional bending stress generated at the rail waist is relatively large, resulting in excessive wheel-rail fatigue damage, which is not conducive to prolonging the service life of the wheel-rail. And it will also cause the problem that the equivalent taper of the rim tread is extremely reduced

[0005] It can be seen that when there are two or more gauge rail system environments, the excessive difference in gauge and bottom slope of high-speed trains will lead to poor wheel-rail contact and unstable train operation.
