Benefits of technology

The invention provides devices and methods for attaching components to rail vehicles in a simple and universal way. The attachment is made to the shaft of the rail vehicle and offers a large contact surface with the shaft while avoiding water accumulations and corrosion. The attachment can be made using a steel band and a polymer or car tire profile on the inner side, reducing the risk of damage to the shaft's varnish. The attachment is resistant to slipping.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, many measuring and testing devices require an access as unimpeded as possible to the or into the rail vehicle and away from the rail vehicle or out of it, for example to transmit data via radio.
Generally, measuring and / or testing devices are therefore attached in an upper outer region of the rail vehicle, however, which is associated with great difficulties due to very different and optionally varying superstructures on the rail vehicle.
Certain possibilities of attachment, for example to the chassis, only come into consideration with additional safety tests, which makes these attachment mechanisms expensive and unattractive.

Embodiment Construction

[0118]FIG. 1 shows a simplified representation of a section of an embodiment of a device according to the invention. A wheel 1, for example of a rail vehicle with a superstructure (not shown), is represented. A vehicle axle or the shaft 2 of a vehicle axle (in the context of the present invention often simplifying only referred to as shaft) is attached to the wheel 1, which protrudes into the image plane such that only its cross-sectional area is represented. The shaft 2 can typically connect two similar wheels 1 of the rail vehicle. A device 3 is disposed on the shaft 2, which can be configured according to different aspects of the invention described herein. Quite generally, the device is disposed on the shaft instead of other locations of the rail vehicle. The wheel 1 rolls over the ground 5, which can for example be a rail, upon forward or rearward movement of the rail vehicle. In the device 3, very different sensors, for example a microprocessor, a memory, in particular semicon...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit from and is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 130,147, filed May 19, 2011, entitled DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A RAIL VEHICLE, which claims benefit from and is a U.S. national stage filing under 35 U.S.C. §371 of PCT / EP2009 / 008211 filed on Nov. 18, 2009, entitled DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A RAIL VEHICLE, which claims benefit from German Application Nos. 102009020428.8 filed May 8, 2009, and 1020080057966.1, filed Nov. 19, 2008, entitled DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A RAIL VEHICLE, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.[0002]The present invention relates to devices and methods for measuring and / or testing devices for rail vehicles.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Generally, rail vehicles offer numerous possibilities of attaching measuring or testing devices to them. Almost all of these possibilities require an elaborate adaptation of the attachment mechanisms with different rail vehic...
