[0016] According to a bogie provided by the present invention, a wheel drive system is further included. The wheel drive system includes a shaft core, a bushing, and two wheels. The shaft core is rotatably mounted inside the bushing. A gearbox is constructed on the bushing, and a driving gear is provided inside the gearbox. A driven gear is sleeved on the shaft core. The driving gear and the driven gear mesh externally. The two wheels are respectively mounted on both ends of the bushing via bearings, and the two wheels are respectively connected to both ends of the shaft core via flexible plates.

The connecting part on the outer surface of the traction beam is connected to the frame through the connecting rod, so as to transfer the longitudinal load to the frame through the connecting rod. At the same time, the traction beam can also swing with the frame through the connecting rod to release the vertical load. The free clearance inside the pin sleeve can make the pin sleeve softer in the lateral direction and harder in the longitudinal direction. While ensuring the transmission of longitudinal load, it reduces the constraint on lateral movement within a certain displacement, and avoids adding large lateral stiffness. At the same time, when the lateral displacement exceeds the limit, the two inner side walls of the free clearance contact each other to realize the lateral stop function. This avoids the redundancy of the central traction device structural components and achieves lightweighting while retaining the lateral, vertical and longitudinal functions unchanged.

[0027] The rail vehicle provided in this embodiment of the invention, by installing the aforementioned bogie on the car body, uses a load-bearing main body and leaf springs to replace the original crossbeam and side beam structure. The structure of the load-bearing main body is simple, and the structure of the leaf springs also makes the weight of the leaf springs much less than that of the traditional side beams, resulting in a significant lightweight effect of the frame. The wheel drive system is used to realize driving and braking, and the wheel drive system can be directly integrated into the axle sleeve, saving layout space. Compared with the original brake caliper braking, the weight of the braking mechanism can be greatly reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight development of rail vehicles. Meanwhile, the pin sleeve is connected through the assembly channel of the traction beam, and the center pin is installed in the pin hole of the pin sleeve, realizing the mutual assembly between the traction beam, pin sleeve and center pin.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0047] The following is combined Figures 1-11The present invention describes an embodiment of a bogie, which includes a frame 100 and a central traction device 900. The frame 100 includes a load-bearing body 200 and two leaf springs 300. A center pin channel 210 is formed in the middle of the load-bearing body 200. The load-bearing body 200 has two mounting channels 220 along the longitudinal direction of the frame 100. The two leaf springs 300 are respectively mounted in the two mounting channels 220. The central traction device 900 is installed in the central pin channel 210. The central traction device 900 includes a traction beam 910, a pin sleeve 920, a central pin 930, and a connecting rod 940. The traction beam 910 has an assembly channel 9110 along the height direction. The outer surface of the traction beam 910 has a connecting part 9120. The pin sleeve 920 is installed in the assembly channel 9110. The pin sleeve 920 has a pin hole 9210 and two free gaps 9220 along the height direction. Along the width direction of the rail vehicle, the two free gaps 9220 are located on both sides of the pin hole 9210. The central pin 930 is installed in the pin hole 9210. One end of the connecting rod 940 is connected to the connecting part 9120, and the other end of the connecting rod 940 is adapted to be connected to the frame 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, the original crossbeam and side beam structure is replaced by the load-bearing body 200 and leaf spring 300. The structure of the load-bearing body 200 is simple, and the structure of the leaf spring 300 also makes the weight of the leaf spring 300 much less than that of the traditional side beam, which makes the frame 100 significantly lighter. The drive system 400 is used to realize driving and braking. The drive system 400 can be directly integrated into the bushing 420, saving layout space. Compared with the original brake caliper braking, the weight of the braking mechanism 800 can be greatly reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight development of rail vehicles. Simultaneously, the pin sleeve 920 is connected through the assembly channel 9110 of the traction beam 910, and the center pin 930 is installed in the pin hole 9210 of the pin sleeve 920, realizing the mutual assembly between the traction beam 910, the pin sleeve 920, and the center pin 930. The connecting part 9120 on the outer surface of the traction beam 910 is connected to the frame 100 through the connecting rod 940, so as to transmit the longitudinal load to the frame 100 using the connecting rod 940. At the same time, the traction beam 910 can also swing with the frame 100 through the connecting rod 940 to release the vertical load. For lateral loads, the free clearance 9220 inside the pin sleeve 920 allows the pin sleeve 920 to be softer in the lateral direction and harder in the longitudinal direction. While ensuring the transmission of longitudinal loads, it reduces the constraint on lateral movement within a certain displacement range and avoids adding large lateral stiffness. At the same time, when the lateral displacement exceeds the limit, the two inner sidewalls of the free clearance 9220 contact each other to achieve the lateral stop function. This avoids the redundancy of the central traction device 900 structural components and achieves lightweighting while retaining the lateral, vertical and longitudinal functions unchanged.

[0049] like Figures 1-3As shown, the load-bearing body 200 includes two box beams 230, a load-bearing beam 240, and a T-shaped reinforcing beam 250. The two box beams 230 are spaced apart and parallel, each box beam 230 being hollow and forming an installation channel 220. The load-bearing beam 240 is located between the two box beams 230, and a center pin channel 210 is formed at the center of the load-bearing beam 240. The T-shaped reinforcing beam 250 is vertically arranged on the lower surface of the load-bearing beam 240, and the T-shaped reinforcing beam 250 is connected to one side of each of the two box beams 230 facing each other.

[0050] The main load-bearing structure is composed of box beams 230, load-bearing beams 240 and T-shaped reinforcing beams 250. The main load-bearing structure and leaf springs 300 replace the original crossbeams and side beams. The main load-bearing structure is welded and has the characteristics of simple structure, high strength and convenient molding. The structural form of leaf springs 300 also makes the weight of leaf springs 300 much less than that of traditional side beams, resulting in a significant weight reduction effect for frame 100.

[0051] The box girder 230, load-bearing beam 240, and T-shaped reinforcing beam 250 are welded together, allowing for independent fabrication and structural design of their shapes. This enables the rational planning of plate thickness and beam width for each component based on their respective load-bearing requirements, ensuring both lightweight design and strength requirements are met. After the box girder 230, load-bearing beam 240, and T-shaped reinforcing beam 250 are fabricated, they are then welded together by a welding mechanism to form the main load-bearing structure.

[0052] The box girder 230 has a hollow internal structure. An installation channel 220 is provided longitudinally inside the box girder 230, allowing the leaf spring 300 to be installed within the installation channel 220 and arranged longitudinally along the box girder 230. This allows the leaf spring 300 to replace the original side beam structure. The leaf spring 300 is made of carbon fiber, which has advantages such as high strength, light weight, and ease of processing, thus meeting the lightweight design requirements of the frame 100.

[0053] In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the two box beams 230 are respectively provided with air spring mounting seats. The air spring mounting seats are provided with mounting protrusions that bulge outwards in the direction away from the box beams 230, and the distance between the two air spring mounting seats is adapted to the distance between the two leaf springs 300.

[0054] The air spring mounting bracket is used to connect the air spring. The mounting bracket has a mounting protrusion that protrudes outwards from the leaf spring 300. The air spring has a corresponding groove. When installing the air spring, aligning the groove of the air spring with the mounting protrusion achieves proper positioning. Compared to the traditional method of inserting the air spring into the mounting bracket, this method prevents the air spring from being inserted into the mounting channel 220, thus preventing damage to the leaf spring 300 within the mounting channel 220.

[0055] The spacing between the two air spring mounting seats is matched with the spacing between the two leaf springs 300. Specifically, the spacing between the two air spring mounting seats is the same as the spacing between the two leaf springs 300 to avoid generating additional torque on the leaf springs 300.

[0056] In this embodiment, a leaf spring 300 positioning part is formed on the lower surface of the inner side of the box girder 230. The leaf spring 300 positioning part is located within the mounting channel 220, wherein, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the leaf spring 300 is provided with a connecting block 320. One of the leaf spring 300 positioning part and the connecting block 320 is constructed with a concave mounting groove 330, and the other of the leaf spring 300 positioning part and the connecting block 320 is constructed with an outward protrusion. The protrusion is adapted to be engaged with the mounting groove 330, and the protrusion and the mounting groove 330 are respectively configured as matching cross shapes.

[0057] The mounting grooves 330 and protrusions on the leaf spring 300 mounting part and the connecting block 320 cooperate with each other to achieve the positioning and installation of the leaf spring 300. The protrusions and mounting grooves 330 are respectively set as matching cross shapes to achieve the longitudinal and lateral limiting functions of the leaf spring 300. Specifically, the leaf spring 300 mounting part is constructed with a cross-shaped protrusion, and the connecting block 320 is constructed with a cross-shaped mounting groove 330.

[0058] According to the bogie provided by the present invention, such as Figures 5-9 As shown, there are four connecting parts 9120, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer surface of the traction beam 910. Each pair of adjacent connecting parts 9120 is set at an angle. The cross-section of the free gap 9220 is arc-shaped, and the two free gaps 9220 are located on the same circumference. Each free gap 9220 corresponds to two gap ends. The positions of the four connecting parts 9120 correspond to the four gap ends. A pressure cover 950 is provided below the traction beam 910. The pressure cover 950, the pin sleeve 920, and the center pin 930 are suitable for being fixed to each other by fasteners.

[0059] Four connecting parts 9120 can be provided to connect four connecting rods 940 to the outer surface of the traction beam 910. Since each pair of adjacent connecting parts 9120 is set at an angle, the four connecting rods 940 are distributed at a certain angle, which can transmit the longitudinal force to the four directions of the frame 100 through the four connecting rods 940, so as to achieve uniform and distributed transmission of longitudinal load.

[0060] The arc-shaped free gaps 9220 can adapt to the shape of the traction beam 910. The two free gaps 9220 are not only located on the same circumference but also arranged symmetrically, with the axis of symmetry of the two free gaps 9220 being one of the diameter segments of the traction beam 910. The arc-shaped free gaps 9220 can form two gap ends, and the positions of the four connecting parts 9120 correspond to the four gap ends respectively, further ensuring that the longitudinal load is transmitted evenly and distributedly. At the same time, it allows the lateral load to be limited by the pin sleeve 920.

[0061] Along the top-to-bottom direction, the assembly channel 9110 is configured to taper, and the center pin 930 is adapted to the assembly channel 9110, and the center pin 930 is suitable for being inserted into the assembly channel 9110 from above the traction beam 910. The taper-shaped assembly channel 9110 facilitates the installation of the center pin 930, and corresponding to the top-to-bottom taper-shaped assembly channel 9110, the center pin 930 is also configured as a top-to-bottom taper frustum structure.

[0062] The pressure cap 950 has a connecting hole, and the center pin 930 has a threaded hole at the bottom. Bolt-type fasteners are sequentially inserted into the connecting hole of the pressure cap 950, the assembly channel 9110 of the pin sleeve 920, and the threaded hole of the center pin 930 to achieve the connection between the pressure cap 950, the pin sleeve 920, and the center pin 930.

[0063] The middle part of the pressure cap 950 protrudes towards the pin sleeve 920 so that the middle part of the pressure cap 950 can abut against the center pin 930. With the fastener locking and fixing, a stable connection is formed between the pressure cap 950, the pin sleeve 920 and the center pin 930.

[0064] According to the bogie provided by the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the wheel drive system 400 includes a shaft core 410, a bushing 420, and two wheels 430. The shaft core 410 is rotatably mounted inside the bushing 420. A gearbox 440 is constructed on the bushing 420, and a driving gear is provided inside the gearbox 440. A driven gear 450 is sleeved on the shaft core 410, and the driving gear and the driven gear 450 mesh externally. The two wheels 430 are respectively mounted on both ends of the bushing 420 through bearings, and the two wheels 430 are respectively connected to both ends of the shaft core 410 through flexible plates 460. Each leaf spring 300 has a pad 310 at both ends, and the pad 310 is connected to the bushing 420. The bushing 420 is also connected to the lower surface of the box beam 230 through a pull plate assembly 500.

[0065] During the driving process, the driving gear of the gearbox 440 rotates, thereby driving the driven gear 450 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 450 drives the shaft core 410 to rotate, thus causing the wheel 430 to rotate via the transmission of the flexible plate 460, achieving driving. During the braking process, the output shaft of the motor 700 is suppressed by the braking mechanism 800, thereby braking the driving gear, and braking the wheel 430 via the transmission of the shaft core 410 and the flexible plate 460.

[0066] A motor 700 is connected to a bushing 420. One end of the motor 700 is connected to a drive gear transmission, and the other end of the motor 700 is equipped with a braking mechanism 800. The braking mechanism 800 includes a housing 810, a rotating component 820, a moving disc 830, a stationary disc 840, and a driving component 850. The inner surface of the housing 810 is provided with guide ribs 860 along the direction of the output shaft of the motor 700. The rotating component 820 is rotatably disposed within the housing 810 and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 700. The outer surface of the rotating component 820 is provided with limiting ribs 870 along the direction of the output shaft of the motor 700. A movable disc 830 and a stationary disc 840 are disposed within a housing 810. The movable disc 830 and the stationary disc 840 are spaced apart and sleeved on a rotating component 820. The inner circumferential surface of the movable disc 830 is provided with a limiting groove 880, which engages with a limiting rib 870. The outer circumferential surface of the stationary disc 840 is provided with a positioning groove 890, which engages with a guide rib 860. A driving component 850 is disposed within the housing 810. The driving component 850 is adapted to connect with the stationary disc 840 and is adapted to drive the stationary disc 840 to slide along the guide rib 860 so that the stationary disc 840 and the movable disc 830 are in contact with each other to form a brake.

[0067] During the driving process, the motor 700 drives the driving gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 450 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 450 drives the shaft core 410 to rotate, causing the wheel 430 to rotate via the flexible plate 460, thus achieving driving. Furthermore, during the driving process, the stationary disc 840 remains stationary under the limiting effect of the positioning groove 890 and the guide rib 860, while the moving disc 830 rotates with the output shaft of the motor 700 under the limiting effect of the limiting groove 880 and the limiting rib 870, without affecting the driving process.

[0068] During braking, the drive component 850 pushes the moving disc 830 and the stationary disc 840 closer together. The stationary disc 840 slides axially under the limiting action of the positioning groove 890 and the guide rib 860, while the moving disc 830 slides axially under the limiting action of the limiting groove 880 and the limiting rib 870. The axial sliding of the moving disc 830 and the stationary disc 840 will cause them to press tightly against each other, thereby generating a braking force on the moving disc 830 to stop its rotation. As the moving disc 830 gradually stops rotating, it can drive the output shaft of the motor 700 to stop rotating, and brake the wheel 430 through the transmission action of the drive gear, driven gear 450, shaft core 410, and flexible plate 460.

[0069] The bushing 420 is connected to the lower surface of the box girder 230 via the tie plate assembly 500. The tie plate assembly 500 includes four overlapping spring steel plates with pleats in the middle, which achieves large lateral positioning stiffness and can release the side roll displacement of the frame 100 and the wheel drive system 400 through the pleats of the tie plate assembly 500 without adding a series of stiffness due to side roll.

[0070] One side of the housing 810 is fixed to the motor 700 by fasteners, and the other side of the housing 810 is provided with a cover 8100. At least two brake grooves 8110 are formed on the cover 8100, which are distributed circumferentially. The drive member 850 is adapted to be installed in the brake groove 8110. Each pair of adjacent brake grooves 8110 are interconnected. One of the brake grooves 8110 is provided with an oil hole for hydraulically driving the drive member 850 to move.

[0071] The drive component 850 is specifically a hydraulic drive mechanism. The drive component 850 is installed in the brake groove 8110, and an oil hole is opened in one of the brake grooves 8110 to connect to the oil pressure pipeline to control the action of the drive component 850. Multiple brake grooves 8110 will correspond to multiple brake components, which can ensure the balance and stability during the braking process, and can also ensure successful braking by driving from multiple points.

[0072] Both ends of the shaft core 410 are interference-fitted with transition pieces 8120. A flexible plate 460 is adapted to be mounted on the outside of the transition piece 8120 via fasteners. The wheel 430 is an elastic wheel 430, adapted to be connected to the flexible plate 460 via fasteners. The elastic wheel 430 is connected to the flexible plate 460 via fasteners, and the flexible plate 460 is connected to the transition pieces 8120 connected to both ends of the shaft core 410 via fasteners, thereby realizing transmission between the shaft core 410 and the wheel 430.

[0073] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a rail vehicle, including a car body, the car body being provided with bogies as described above.

[0074] In this embodiment, by installing the aforementioned bogie on the car body, the original crossbeam and side beam structure is replaced by the load-bearing body 200 and leaf spring 300. The structure of the load-bearing body 200 is simple, and the structure of the leaf spring 300 also makes the weight of the leaf spring 300 much less than that of the traditional side beam, resulting in a significant weight reduction effect of the frame 100. The drive system 400 is used to realize driving and braking, and the drive system 400 can be directly integrated into the bushing 420, saving layout space. Compared with the original brake caliper braking, the weight of the braking mechanism 800 can be greatly reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight development of rail vehicles. Simultaneously, the pin sleeve 920 is connected through the assembly channel 9110 of the traction beam 910, and the center pin 930 is installed in the pin hole 9210 of the pin sleeve 920, realizing the mutual assembly between the traction beam 910, the pin sleeve 920, and the center pin 930. The connecting part 9120 on the outer surface of the traction beam 910 is connected to the frame 100 through the connecting rod 940, so as to transmit the longitudinal load to the frame 100 using the connecting rod 940. At the same time, the traction beam 910 can also swing with the frame 100 through the connecting rod 940 to release the vertical load. For lateral loads, the free clearance 9220 inside the pin sleeve 920 allows the pin sleeve 920 to be softer in the lateral direction and harder in the longitudinal direction. While ensuring the transmission of longitudinal loads, it reduces the constraint on lateral movement within a certain displacement range and avoids adding large lateral stiffness. At the same time, when the lateral displacement exceeds the limit, the two inner sidewalls of the free clearance 9220 contact each other to achieve the lateral stop function. This avoids the redundancy of the central traction device 900 structural components and achieves lightweighting while retaining the lateral, vertical and longitudinal functions unchanged.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
