[0046] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] See also Figure 1 、 2 As shown;
[0048] The utility model discloses a non-power bogie for a high-comfort and high-stability slewing tram, comprising:
[0049] Frame component 1, wheelset axle box devices 2 arranged at both ends of frame component 1 and connected to frame component 1 through primary suspension device 33, and secondary suspension and bolster device 4 arranged in the middle of frame component 1;
[0050] The secondary suspension and bolster device 4 is connected to the vehicle body through the bolster assembly; and
[0051] A traction device 5 connecting the bolster assembly and the frame assembly 1; and
[0052] A foundation brake device 6 connected to the wheelset axle box device 2 and the frame assembly 1;
[0053] The cross-section of the frame component 1 projected on the horizontal plane is a skeletal structure, and the frame component 1 is projected on the plumb plane. A first lower groove structure 100 for supporting the rocker component is formed in the middle of the frame body, and a second lower groove structure 200 is formed in the middle of the rocker 45 of the rocker component. The second lower groove structure 200 is connected to the vehicle body through the center pin component 46.
[0054] In this structure, the frame component 1 includes a frame body, and the two ends of the crossbeam 11 of the frame body are fixedly connected with the side beams 12. The frame body is respectively provided with end beams 13 at both ends of the side beams 12, and the two side beams 12 are connected by the front and rear end beams 13 and the crossbeam 11, so that the cross section of the frame body in the horizontal plane projection is a "sun" shaped structure, and the side beams 12 are constructed as special-shaped structures, wherein the side beams 12 are projected on the plumb plane, and a first lower groove structure 100 is formed in the middle thereof, so that the side beams 12 are horizontally placed in a "bow" shaped structure, the crossbeam 11 is fixedly connected to the two side beams 12 at the position of the first lower groove structure 100, and the frame body supports the two side beams 12 through the first lower groove structure 100. The secondary suspension and bolster device 4 has a second lower groove structure 200 formed in the middle of the bolster 45 of the secondary suspension and bolster device 4. A center pin assembly 46 is provided on the second lower groove structure 200 and connected to the vehicle body through the center pin assembly 46. Thus, the frame assembly 1, through the combination of the first lower groove structure 100 and the second lower groove structure 200, not only provides feasibility for lowering the floor surface inside the vehicle, but also reduces the height of the center of gravity of the bogie, thereby improving the stability and comfort of vehicle operation. In addition, the center pin assembly 46 in the second lower groove structure 200 can provide a rotation center for the rotation between the vehicle body and the bogie, thereby ensuring that the vehicle has good small radius curve passing performance.
[0055] Secondly, the side bearings 47 are located at both ends of the bolster 45 and are made of a low-friction polymer wear-resistant material. They directly bear the weight of the vehicle body and are also used to withstand the rotational resistance of the vehicle body when it goes through curves.
[0056] Preferably, the wheelset axle box device 2 adopts an external wheelset axle box structure, and system devices such as speed sensors and grounding devices can be configured at the shaft ends as needed. Two axle-mounted brake discs are set for each wheelset, and the wheels adopt a traditional steel wheel structure;
[0057] In this structure, the bogie adopts a wheel set and axle box device 2 with an external wheel set and axle box structure. The wheelbase can reach 1800 mm - 2000 mm, and this wheelbase range can ensure that the vehicle has good passing ability on small-radius curves.
[0058] Preferably, the primary suspension device 3 adopts a chevron rubber spring, which reduces the installation space while ensuring performance.
[0059] See Figure 3 as shown in:
[0060] Preferably, the frame body of the frame assembly 1 includes a cross beam 11, two side beams 12 extending along the length direction of the vehicle body, and two end beams 13 extending along the width direction of the vehicle body.
[0061] A groove section is formed in the middle of the side beam 12. Both ends of the cross beam 11 are welded to the groove section to form a first lower groove structure 100. Both ends of the end beam 13 are connected to the side beam 12 through rubber joints.
[0062] Specifically, the frame assembly 1 adopts a frame body with a "day" - shaped structure. The cross beam 11, side beams 12, and end beams 13 of the frame body are welded with steel plates and forgings. A first concave structure is formed in the middle of the frame body, which can effectively reduce the overall height of the bogie. Installation interfaces for the primary suspension device 3 are formed at both ends of the side beam 12 of the frame body, and installation interfaces for the secondary suspension device are formed in the middle concave section of the side beam 12. The front and rear end beams 13 are connected to the side beam 12 through elastic rubber joints and jointly act with the cross beam 11 to provide an installation interface for the foundation braking device 6.
[0063] In this structure, the cross-sectional projection of the frame body in the vertical plane is a horizontally placed "bow" - shaped structure. The height of the cross beam 11 is nearly the same as that of the axle, which helps to reduce the floor height and at the same time helps to lower the center of gravity of the bogie, improving the running stability of the vehicle. The cross beam 11 adopts a hollow box structure, which can provide a feasible space for reducing the height of the bolster.
[0064] See Figure 2 、 3 as shown in:
[0065] Preferably, the secondary suspension and bolster device 4 includes a helical steel spring 41, a vertical shock absorber 42, a lateral shock absorber 43, a lateral stop 44, and a bolster assembly.
[0066] The bolster 45 is provided with coil steel springs 41 at both ends thereof, and is connected between the bolster 45 and the side beam 12 via the coil steel springs 41. A rubber spring is provided on the upper portion of the coil steel spring 41, and a vertical stopper is provided inside the coil steel spring 41. Specifically, in the assembled state, the frame body is provided with the coil steel spring 41 via the side beam 12, and a rubber spring is provided on the top of the coil steel spring 41. The bolster 45 falls on the rubber spring, thereby achieving the purpose of elastically supporting the bolster 45 via the coil steel spring 41. A vertical stopper is provided inside the coil steel spring 41 to rigidly stop the bolster 45 from moving downward to the limit position.
[0067] The vertical vibration damper 42 is installed at the end of the bolster 45 and connected between the bolster 45 and the side beam 12. The lateral vibration dampers 43 are installed on both sides of the bolster 45 and connected between the bolster 45 and the cross beam 11 of the frame body through the lateral vibration dampers 43.
[0068] A transverse stopper 44 is provided at the lower part of the bolster 45 , and the transverse stopper 44 cooperates with the limiting groove provided in the crossbeam 11 of the frame body. When limiting, the transverse stopper 44 contacts the side wall of the limiting groove, thereby realizing the lateral displacement of the limiting bolster 45 .
[0069] The secondary suspension and bolster device 4 in this structure adopts a coil steel spring 41 + a rubber spring + a vertical shock absorber 42 + a lateral shock absorber 43 + a lateral stop 44. Through reasonable suspension parameter design, it provides good comfort and stability for the bogie.
[0070] See also Figure 4 As shown:
[0071] Preferably, the bolster assembly includes a bolster 45, a center pin assembly 46, and a side bearing 47;
[0072] A bolster groove section for forming the second lower groove structure 200 is provided in the middle of the bolster 45 , a center pin assembly 46 is installed in the middle of the bolster groove section, and side bearings 47 are provided at both ends of the bolster 45 .
[0073] Specifically, in this structure, the bolster 45 is a box-type structure welded from a combination of steel plates and castings and forgings, which reduces weight while ensuring that the strength of the bolster 45 meets the requirements. At the same time, a second concave structure is formed in the middle of the bolster 45 to provide installation interfaces for components such as steel springs, traction devices 5, and shock absorbers, effectively lowering the height of the vehicle interior floor. The center pin assembly 46 is connected to the vehicle body by bolts at the top and embedded in the center pin seat hole of the bolster 45 at the bottom, providing a rotation center for the rotation between the vehicle body and the bogie, ensuring that the vehicle has good small-radius curve negotiation performance. Side bearings 47 are provided at both ends of the bolster 45 and are made of a low-friction polymer wear-resistant material. They directly bear the weight of the vehicle body and are also used to withstand the rotation resistance of the vehicle body when negotiating curves.
[0074] In this structure, side bearings 47 made of a wear-resistant polymer material are installed at both ends of the bolster 45 to bear the weight of the car body and provide rotational friction between the car body and the bogie. A center pin structure 46 connected to the car body is installed in the middle of the bolster 45, allowing the bogie and car body to rotate at a large angle, which is convenient for navigating small-radius curves.
[0075] See also Figure 1 As shown:
[0076] Preferably, the traction device 5 is a double-tie rod structure, comprising two traction rods 51 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame body. One end of the traction rod 51 is connected to the side beam 12 of the frame body, and the other end is connected to the bolster 45. The traction device 5 adopts a double-tie rod traction structure, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame body, to provide uniform traction and braking force for the bogie.
[0077] See also Figure 3 As shown:
[0078] Preferably, there are two basic brake devices 6, which adopt a shaft disc brake method. The basic brake device 6 includes a brake caliper mounting seat 61. One end of the brake caliper mounting seat 61 is mounted on the end beam 13 through an elastic ring node 64, and the other end is hoisted on the frame crossbeam 11 through two elastic rubber nodes 65. Each basic brake device 6 is equipped with two hydraulic brake calipers 62.
[0079] Specifically, each non-powered bogie is equipped with four sets of compact hydraulic brake calipers 62, which are mounted on the frame body through brake caliper mounting bases 61. The brake caliper mounting bases 61 are arranged on both sides of the bolster. One end of the brake caliper mounting base 61 is mounted on the frame body end beam 13 through an elastic ring node 64, and the other end is hoisted on the frame cross beam 11 through two elastic rubber nodes 65 to ensure reliable transmission of braking force.
[0080] In this structure, the basic brake system 6 employs axle-disc braking, and through the configuration of four sets of hydraulic brake calipers 62, it provides greater braking requirements for the bogie. The brake caliper mounting base 61 is mounted on the main frame crossbeam 11 and end beam 13 using a "three-point elastic suspension" method, ensuring reliable brake caliper installation while reducing unsprung mass, thereby improving bogie stability.
[0081] In order to ensure the safety of the brake caliper mounting seat 61, the brake caliper mounting seat 61 is provided with a safety lifting protection device 63 at the end of the crossbeam 11. The safety lifting protection device 63 is connected to the base on the crossbeam 11 through an axis, thereby effectively preventing the brake caliper mounting seat 61 from falling and causing operational hazards.
[0082] In the above technical solution, the utility model provides a non-powered bogie for a high-comfort and high-stability slewing tram, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0083] The combination of the first lower groove structure 100 and the second lower groove structure 200 enables relative rotation between the frame assembly 1 and the vehicle body, with a minimum traversable curve radius of 25 meters. Furthermore, by optimizing the bogie structure, reducing bogie weight, unsprung mass, and lowering the bogie's center of gravity, the vehicle's stability and comfort indicators are both less than 2.5.
[0084] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
