Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to rail transit vehicles, specifically to a lightweight rail vehicle bogie frame and bogie. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional rail transit vehicle bogies are mostly of the external axle box type. This type of bogie has a large lateral span of the primary axle box, resulting in a large lateral width of the frame and a significant weight. With the diversification of rail transit types, various internal axle box bogies are constantly emerging in addition to the traditional external axle box type. Internal axle box bogies have a significantly smaller lateral span of the primary axle box compared to traditional external axle box bogies, allowing for a smaller lateral width and lighter frame, making it an effective way to achieve bogie and frame weight reduction. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a lightweight rail vehicle bogie frame and bogie with simple structure and good manufacturability.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A lightweight rail vehicle bogie frame includes two side beams and two cross beams. The two side beams are arranged side by side, and the two cross beams are arranged side by side at the middle of the two side beams. The two ends of the two cross beams are respectively connected to the side beams. Each side beam includes a lower cover plate, a vertical plate, and an upper cover plate. The lower cover plate and the upper cover plate are arranged parallel to each other. The two sides of the lower cover plate and the upper cover plate are respectively connected by the vertical plate to form a box beam structure. A brake mounting port and an anti-hunting damper mounting port are provided on the outer vertical plate of the side beam. A brake mounting seat is embedded in the brake mounting port, and an anti-hunting damper mounting seat is embedded in the anti-hunting damper mounting port. A gearbox boom mounting port is provided on the inner vertical plate of the side beam, and a gearbox boom mounting seat is embedded in the gearbox boom mounting port.
[0006] This utility model provides brake mounting ports and anti-hunting damper mounting ports on the outer side upright plate of the side beam. A brake mounting seat is embedded in the brake mounting port, and an anti-hunting damper mounting seat is embedded in the anti-hunting damper mounting port. A gearbox hanger mounting port is provided on the inner side upright plate of the side beam, and a gearbox hanger mounting seat is embedded in the gearbox hanger mounting port. This not only reduces and saves the installation space for the brake mounting seat, anti-hunting damper mounting seat, and gearbox hanger mounting seat, but also ensures the installation strength of these components. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple and has good manufacturability.
[0007] Furthermore, the vertical section height of the side beam gradually decreases from the middle to both ends, which reduces the self-weight of the side beam while meeting the strength requirements, thus achieving the goal of lightweighting the frame.
[0008] Furthermore: a primary device mounting base is welded to the end of the side beam, and a primary spring guide cylinder and a primary vertical damper mounting interface are provided on the primary device mounting base.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper cover plate is provided with two types of air spring mounting seats in the middle, which can meet the installation requirements of air spring span of 1130mm and air spring span of 1600mm.
[0010] Furthermore, a tie rod mounting seat and an anti-roll device mounting seat are provided in the middle of the lower cover plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the crossbeam comprises a crossbeam steel pipe, with connecting seats welded to both ends of the crossbeam steel pipe, and the crossbeam steel pipe is an integral forged round steel pipe structure. A motor mounting seat, a secondary vertical vibration damper mounting seat, and a traction rod seat are welded onto the crossbeam steel pipe, and the secondary vertical vibration damper mounting seat and the traction rod seat are integrally formed. This welded structure results in a very small axial length of the crossbeam steel pipe and simplifies the structure of each mounting seat as much as possible, significantly reducing the self-weight of the crossbeam and achieving the goal of lightweighting.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower cover plate, vertical plate, and upper cover plate of the side beam are welded together with the connecting seat to ensure the connection strength between the side beam and the cross beam.
[0013] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a lightweight rail vehicle bogie, which includes the aforementioned lightweight rail vehicle bogie frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1) This utility model reduces its own weight while meeting the requirements of structural strength and function, thus achieving the goal of lightweighting.
[0016] 2) The welded structure of the crossbeam of this utility model makes the axial length of the crossbeam steel pipe very small, and simplifies the structure of each mounting seat as much as possible, which greatly reduces the weight of the crossbeam and achieves the purpose of lightweighting.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 One embodiment of the steering frame of this utility model consists of two side beams 1 and two cross beams 2 welded together. The two side beams 1 are arranged side by side, and the two cross beams 2 are arranged side by side in the middle of the two side beams 1, with the two ends of the two cross beams 2 respectively welded to the side beams 1.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The side beam 1 is a box-shaped beam structure assembled from a lower cover plate 11, a vertical plate 12, an upper cover plate 13, and a primary winding device mounting seat 14. The lower cover plate 11 and the upper cover plate 13 are arranged parallel to each other, and their sides are connected via the vertical plate 12. A primary winding tie rod mounting seat 15 and an anti-roll device mounting seat 16 for mounting the axle box are provided in the middle of the lower cover plate 11. A brake mounting port and an anti-hunting damper mounting port are provided on the outer vertical plate 12 of the side beam 1. A brake mounting seat 17 is embedded in the brake mounting port, and an anti-hunting damper mounting seat 18 is embedded in the anti-hunting damper mounting port. The brake mounting seat 17 and the anti-hunting damper mounting seat 18 are respectively butt-welded to the corresponding inner vertical plate 12. A gearbox hanger mounting port is provided on the inner vertical plate 12 of the side beam 1. A gearbox hanger mounting seat 19 is embedded in the gearbox hanger mounting port, and the gearbox hanger mounting seat 19 is welded to the opposite outer vertical plate 12.

A primary suspension device mounting seat 14 is welded to the end of the side beam 1. The primary suspension device mounting seat 14 is provided with a primary spring guide cylinder and a primary vertical damper mounting interface.
[0026] To achieve the goal of lightweight design, the vertical section height of side beam 1 gradually decreases from the middle of the side beam to both ends.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The crossbeam 2 is a structure welded from a crossbeam steel pipe 21, a connecting seat 22, a motor mounting seat 23, a secondary vertical vibration damper mounting seat 24, and a traction rod seat 25. The crossbeam steel pipe 21 adopts a simple and reliable one-piece forged round steel pipe structure, which makes the axial length of the crossbeam steel pipe 21 very small. The connecting seats 22 are welded to both ends of the crossbeam steel pipe 21. The motor mounting seat 23, the secondary vertical vibration damper mounting seat 24, and the traction rod seat 25 are welded to the circumference of the crossbeam steel pipe 21. The motor mounting seat 23, the secondary vertical vibration damper mounting seat 24, and the traction rod seat 25 can simplify the structure as much as possible and reduce the self-weight of the crossbeam to a large extent.
[0028] To ensure the connection strength between the side beam 1 and the cross beam 2, the lower cover plate 11, the vertical plate 12, and the upper cover plate 13 of the side beam 1 are welded together with the connecting seat 22.
