In order to prevent the connecting bolts from failing due to shear force, bosses and grooves are designed at the corresponding installation interfaces to optimize the force conditions of the bolts.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned secondary suspension device 4, the secondary suspension device 4 includes an air spring 401 arranged at the top end of one end of the frame device 1, an additional air chamber 402 is provided at the top end of the air spring 401, and a transition seat 403 is provided at the top end of the additional air chamber 402; a vertical shock absorber 404 connected to the frame device 1 is provided on one side of the transition seat 403, and an anti-nodding torsion bar 405 connected to the frame device 1 is provided at both ends of the transition seat 403, and a lateral shock absorber 406 connected to the frame device 1 is provided on the other side of the transition seat 403; the bottom end of the air spring 401 is connected to the frame device 1 by a plurality of positioning pins and a plurality of bolts, and the additional air chamber 402 is provided.

By setting the positioning seat, it has the functions of positioning and preventing the bolt connection from being subjected to shear force. When the vehicle nods, the nodding movement can be suppressed by the secondary suspension device 4, thereby improving the stability of the train operation.

[0043] In one embodiment, for the guide wheel device 8, the guide wheel device 8 includes a guide wheel mounting seat 801 connected to the frame device 1, an anti-damping shock absorber 802 is provided at the top of the guide wheel mounting seat 801, a guide wheel mounting pin 803 is provided at the bottom end of one side of the guide wheel mounting seat 801, a positioning pin is provided on one side of the guide wheel mounting pin 803, an integral bearing 804, an axle box rear cover 805, a sealing assembly 806, a coupling 807 and a tire 808 are sequentially provided on the outer side of the bottom of the guide wheel mounting pin 803, and a safety wheel 809 is provided at the bottom end of the guide wheel mounting pin 803, thereby improving the comfort of train operation.

[0044] Specifically, the above-mentioned guide wheel device 8 is opposite to the traditional bearing fit. It adopts an interference fit between the bearing outer ring and the coupling 807. The integral bearing 804 not only does not require grease injection, but is also easy to maintain; the anti-damping shock absorber can effectively attenuate the vibration generated by the bogie from being transmitted to the car body.

[0045] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned braking device 3, the braking device 3 includes a mounting base 301 connected to the frame device 1, and a braking mechanism 302 is provided on one side of the mounting base 301; a plurality of brake sleeves 3011 are provided on one side of the mounting base 301, and a plurality of anti-rotation platforms 3012 are provided on the other side of the mounting base 301; the braking mechanism 302 includes a plurality of brake tubes 3021 that cooperate with the brake sleeves 3011, and a brake caliper 3022 is provided at one end of the brake tube 3021, and a brake pad 3023 is provided inside the brake caliper 3022, and a plurality of anti-rotation bosses 3024 that cooperate with the anti-rotation platform 3012 are provided on the top side of the brake caliper 3022, and a brake disc 3025 is provided at the bottom end of the brake caliper 3022, so that the relative position of the brake caliper 3022 and the bogie can be accurately positioned, and the installation bolt connection can be effectively prevented from being subjected to shear force; the brake pad 3023 of the new material is not only compact in structure, but also can meet the braking thermal capacity of high-speed performance.

[0046] In one embodiment, the auxiliary steering device 9 includes two steering links 901 connected to the frame device 1. One end of the steering link 901 is provided with a swing arm 902; the bottom end of the swing arm 902 is provided with a connecting seat 903, and the top end of the swing arm 902 is provided with an elastic node 904. The two swing arms 902 are connected by a steering cylinder 905. The steering cylinder 905 controls the rotation of the swing arm 902, and the swing arm 902 drives the steering link 901 to enable the bogie to smoothly pass through the curve. When the train passes through the curve, the sensor receives signal information, causing the system to inject a certain amount of gas into the steering cylinder 905, pushing the steering cylinder 905 to retract outward, breaking the original balance, causing the swing arm 902 to rotate and drive the steering link 901 to push the bogie to rotate a certain angle relative to the track beam, allowing the vehicle to smoothly pass through the curve. After passing the curve, the sensor receives signal information, causing the steering cylinder 905 to exhaust air outward and return to the equilibrium position. This not only actively helps the vehicle to smoothly pass through the curve, but also reduces tire wear on the guide wheels and stabilizer wheels, extending the service life.

[0047] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation mode of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0048] In actual application, the present invention is composed of a frame device 1, a running wheel device 2, a braking device 3, a secondary suspension device 4, a stabilizing wheel device 5, an auxiliary power supply device 6, a guide wheel device 8 and an auxiliary steering device 9, so that the monorail bogie can be suitable for different forms of track beams, different forms of power supply systems, and small radius line operations. When the vehicle nods, the secondary suspension can suppress the nodding motion, thereby improving the stability of the train operation.

[0049] To sum up, with the help of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention meets the requirements for safe operation of rail vehicles in terms of strength and life through the design of rail vehicle bogies, realizes the safe and stable operation of B-type single-axle straddle-type monorail vehicles, improves passenger comfort, and improves the ability of vehicles to pass through curves smoothly; solves the problem of curve wear of guide tires and stabilizing tires; suppresses the nodding movement and vertical movement of the vehicle, and improves the stability of vehicle operation; the present invention has a simple and reliable structure and low cost; has strong line adaptability, reduces maintenance material costs and labor costs, and can be applied to different forms of track beams, different forms of power supply systems, and small radius line operations.
