Railway rolling stock

Abstract

A car body 8 is supported on a bogie frame 4 through an air spring 5. Along to a width direction of the car body 8, to the bogie frame 4 a torsion bar 11 is provided. At both ends of the torsion bar 11, links 15 and 15 for inclining to direct for an inner side of the car body 8 through levers 13 and 13 are provided. Accordingly, a rolling displacement of the both ends of the car body is restricted and an upper and lower displacement in the same phase is not restricted. According to an occurrence of an excess centrifugal acceleration which acts on the car body 8, a car body inclination according to a link mechanism can be operated. For this reason, a light weight structure and a low cost structure can be attained. An inclination device having a light weight structure, a left and right riding good feeling in the passenger in a car, and a high fail-safe characteristic can be obtained. An inclination device having a light weight structure, a left and right riding good feeling in the passenger in a car, and a high fail-safe characteristic can be obtained.

Description

[0001] 1. Technical Field[0002] The present invention relates to a railway rolling stock and relates to a device for inclining a car body to improve a riding feeling during a curvature passage running time in the railway rolling stock.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] As a car body inclination device in a railway rolling stock, as shown in Japanese application patent laid-open publication No. Hei 6-56034, the car body inclination device is one in which a torsion bar is used. The car body inclination device comprises a first torsion bar which is provided in a left and right direction of the car body, a second torsion bar which is provided respectively on both ends thereof, an actuator for connecting respectively each end of the first torsion bar and one end of the second torsion bar, and a rod for connecting another end of the second torsion and the car body. The actuator is installed in a front and rear direction of the car body. By the expanding and contracting of the actuator, and the rod...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a railway rolling stock wherein a car body inclination device having a light weight structure can be attained.

[0012] A further object of the present invention is to provide a railway rolling stock wherein a car body inclination device having a left and right riding good feeling can be obtained.

[0013] A further object of the present invention is to provide a railway rolling stock wherein a car body inclination device having a high fail-safe characteristic can be attained.

[0015] According to the present invention, in accordance with the action of the excess centrifugal acceleration, it can obtain the free pendulum and the car body inclination device having the high fail-safe characteristic can be obtained.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is necessary to provide the three torsion bars and the two actuators and the link for necessary to connect the torsion bars and the actuators, the construction becomes the complex one and this invites high cost structure.
