Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a transverse guide arrangement, in particular for a car body assembly of a track-guided vehicle for transversely guiding a car body relative to a chassis, comprising a first guide arrangement. The first guide arrangement comprises a first car body-fixed element having a first contact surface, a first chassis-fixed element having a second contact surface, wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface form a first contact surface pair.
[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a car body arrangement, in particular for a track-guided vehicle comprising a car body and at least one, preferably two, chassis and, for each chassis, one such transverse guide arrangement or one further developed as described below.
[0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a track-guided vehicle comprising at least one such car body arrangement or one further developed as described below.
[0004] The dimensions of a track-guided vehicle, particularly a rail vehicle, are limited by the clearance gauge. A significant extension of a car body (to increase the number of seats) therefore always entails a reduction in vehicle width. Seating capacity will generally be a decisive factor for an operator, and a minimum interior width will be defined at the same time. To reduce the loss of car width in long vehicles, curve-dependent lateral clearance limitations exist, such as those described in CH 670227 A5. These lateral clearance limitations enable a high degree of lateral clearance and good ride comfort on straight stretches, and a reduction in lateral clearance on curves.
[0005] In the past, there were also attempts to manufacture the contact pairs of the transverse guide from a soft, elastic material such as plastic. However, this proved impractical due to the high contact forces, as wear is too high and the service life of these components is therefore too short. Examples of this are known from CH670227A5 and DE19838321A1.
[0006] In the past, when it was necessary to extend the car to offer more seats, this always meant a loss of interior width.
[0007] For example, the problem is clearly evident in the evolution of the ICE3 to the ICE4. A 200 m long ICE 3 train consists of 8 carriages with a width of 2950 mm, while the 200 m long ICE 4 consists of 7 carriages with a width of 2852 mm. Reducing the number of carriages is highly attractive for economic reasons (fewer large components, e.g., chassis, air conditioning systems), but is generally undesirable from a customer and operator perspective. Document EP 2 223 841 B1 concerns these extra-long car bodies used in the ICE 4.
[0008] Increasing the pivot distance is also important for double-decker carriages, as this allows for an increase in the double-decker portion and thus an increase in the number of seats. The double-decker carriage with the highest known pivot distance is the Bombardier double-decker, with a pivot distance of 20 m and an exterior width of 2,784 mm.
[0009] A crucial question for solving these problems is how the lateral dynamics of the vehicle can be permanently controlled despite the required rigid lateral guidance.
[0010] Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide an improved transverse guide arrangement and an improved car body arrangement.
[0011] This object is achieved by the transverse guide arrangement of claim 1, the car body arrangement of claim 11 and the track-guided vehicle of claim 14.
[0012] Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the respective subclaims.
[0013] According to the invention, a transverse guide arrangement, in particular for a car body arrangement of a track-guided vehicle for transversely guiding a car body relative to a chassis, is provided with a first guide arrangement. The first guide arrangement comprises a first car body-fixed element having a first contact surface, a first chassis-fixed element having a second contact surface, wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface form a first contact surface pair. The first car body-fixed element and / or the first chassis-fixed element has / have an elastic bearing arrangement.
[0014] Furthermore, the invention provides a car body assembly, in particular for a track-guided vehicle, comprising a car body and at least one, preferably two, chassis(es), and for each chassis, a transverse guide assembly of this type or further developed as described below. Furthermore, the invention relates to a track-guided vehicle comprising at least one car body assembly of this type or further developed as described below.
[0015] According to the invention, elastic bearing arrangements are provided to enable a parallel positioning of the first element fixed to the car body and / or the first element fixed to the chassis. The bearing arrangements according to the invention provide elasticity to compensate for angular errors in the transverse guide arrangement.
[0016] Due to the inventive transverse guidance device, positioning the car body centrally above the bogie is not possible in tight curves of the track or rails. Instead, they are guided off-center in tight curves. This allows, for example, double-decker cars with pivot pin distances of over 21 meters, whereas, according to the current state of the art, no double-decker vehicle with a pivot pin distance of more than 20 meters is known.
[0017] The solution according to the invention makes it possible to increase the pivot pin distance to over 22 m (increase the number of seats) and / or to increase the vehicle width compared to existing vehicles.
[0018] The actual problem was identified with the help of a new calculation approach. Previously, the forces in the guide rail contact were determined. The new calculation approach uses an FE model in a multi-body simulation. With the help of this simulation approach, a cause of the wear on the transverse guide rail was identified. Previously, it was assumed that curves and S-curves resulted in more or less pure transverse displacement between the car body and the bogie. The roller is intended to establish extensive contact on the transverse guide rail and compensate for any longitudinal movements that may occur by rolling.
[0019] In fact, the simulations clearly show that the vehicle's roll motion also has a significant influence on the stresses in the gate. Even if the roll angles occurring are only slight (approx. 0.5°; vehicle-dependent), these roll angles lead to edge contact. In the above-mentioned simulations, this is evident by the very small contact areas. Furthermore, the contact point sometimes jumps from the upper edge directly to the lower edge of the contour plate. The small contact areas in the edge contact lead to high stresses, which would even exceed the material strength and simultaneously cause wear on the gate.
[0020] Providing an elastic bearing arrangement solves these existing problems.
[0021] In a further development of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the elastic bearing arrangement is designed such that the first contact surface and the second contact surface can be aligned with one another by a contact force acting on the first contact surface pair.
[0022] This creates a flat contact so that the forces act evenly on the contact surface pair and there is no increased wear due to point contact.
[0023] In an embodiment of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that a first transverse play is formed between the first contact surface and the second contact surface.
[0024] The first cross-play is usually a bow-dependent wi-cross-play. It is also possible that the first cross-play is a wa-cross-play.
[0025] In the design of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the first transverse play is variable, in particular depending on a rotation of the chassis, and can assume positive and negative values.
[0026] In particular, the first transverse play towards the inside of the curve is crucial for the possible pivot pin distance.
[0027] Based on vehicle width calculations according to EN 15273-2, this goal is achievable by reducing the first lateral clearance (curve-dependent wi lateral clearance) to negative values. Such a significant reduction in wi lateral clearance has not been achieved to date, as the current state of the art would result in high forces and even higher stresses on the gate. This already causes wear on current gates, which can be critical depending on the vehicle type. However, this disadvantage is overcome here.
[0028] In a further development of the transverse guide arrangement, the transverse guide arrangement can be provided with a second guide arrangement. The second guide arrangement comprises two second chassis-fixed elements, each with a third contact surface, and a second car body-fixed element with two fourth contact surfaces, wherein the third contact surfaces and the fourth contact surfaces form two second contact surface pairs.
[0029] The second guide arrangement is located centrally in the area of the chassis center (or bogie center).
[0030] In an embodiment of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that a second transverse play is formed between the third contact surface and the fourth contact surface of the respective second contact surface pair.
[0031] Overall, the simulations show significantly lower contact pressures (reduction by a factor of 3.5) through the use of elastic bearing arrangements
[0032] The contact pressures are particularly low when the first pair of contact surfaces is positioned parallel.
[0033] This ensures transverse guidance with a second transverse play through the second guide arrangement.
[0034] In a further development of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the second transverse play is variable, in particular depending on a rotation of the chassis, and can assume positive values.
[0035] The second transverse clearance can preferably not take negative values.
[0036] In an embodiment of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the first element fixed to the car body is a contour plate and the first contact surface is designed as a contour plate surface, and that the first element fixed to the chassis is designed as a roller arrangement and the second contact surface is designed as a roller surface.
[0037] Alternatively or in addition to this (in the sense of a logical "and / or" combination), it can be provided that the first element fixed to the chassis is a contour plate and the second contact surface is designed as a contour plate surface, and that the first element fixed to the car body is designed as a roller arrangement and the first contact surface is designed as a roller surface.
[0038] The contour plate surface has in particular a variable contour which allows a variable rotation and consequently a variable first transverse play between the first chassis-fixed element and the first car body-fixed element.
[0039] In a further development of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the roller surface has rounded edges.
[0040] This ensures that contact pressures are reduced when the corners are rounded.
[0041] In an embodiment of the transverse guide arrangement, it can be provided that the contour plate surface has a variable width which is designed such that, depending on a rotation of the chassis, the transverse play can be changed by the position of the roller arrangement in relation to the contour plate surface, wherein preferably the contour plate surface is designed such that the transverse play assumes smaller, preferably negative, values with increasing rotation of the chassis.
[0042] The turning is an angular deflection of the chassis in a curve, which is determined by the track (or the rails).
[0043] In order to limit wear and forces, large transverse play had to be permitted until now. For example, in known double-decker carriages, an initial transverse play (wi (R) transverse play) of 20 mm occurs in a 250 m curve. According to EN 15273-2, only curve radii greater than 150 m must be taken into account for calculations to determine vehicle limits. The 250 m curve radius and, under certain circumstances, the 150 m curve radius are relevant for the design. In the past, it was not possible to achieve negative w i transverse play in the relevant curve radii. The car body was therefore centered over the bogie and only the spring travel in the curve was reduced.
[0044] The presented design ensures that wear and forces are limited and at the same time, due to the lower or negative transverse play, a larger pivot pin distance is achieved or tighter curves can be negotiated with a given pivot pin distance.
[0045] In a design of the car body arrangement, it can be provided that the car body can be deflected relative to the running gear by the transverse guide arrangement when the running gear rotates against an inner direction of the curve. The car body can thus be deflected relative to the running gear by the transverse guide arrangement when the running gear rotates outward of the curve.
[0046] The inner curve direction is the radially inward direction from the chassis to the center of the curved rail (or track). The outer curve direction is the opposite of the inner curve direction.
[0047] In a further development of the car body arrangement, it can be provided that the car body can be guided transversely off-center relative to the chassis by means of the transverse guide arrangement.
[0048] In a further development of the car body arrangement, it can be provided that the car body has at least one indentation.
[0049] To achieve the negative first transverse play (wi transverse play), an increase in the second transverse play (w_a transverse play) is helpful (shifting it to the outside of the curve). Therefore, a retraction at the carriage end is beneficial.
[0050] In a further development of the car body arrangement, it can be provided that the transverse guide arrangement has at least one eccentric spring and / or damper element acting transversely to the direction of travel, which is connected to the chassis and to the car body and is arranged eccentrically from the center of the chassis to the center of the car body.
[0051] In state-of-the-art vehicles, the car body is guided centrally above the running gear. The curve-dependent transverse play control now provided by the transverse guide arrangement reduces the available transverse play in tight curves. For the first time, the car body is guided off-center above the center of the running gear in tight curves. This allows the car body to be passively pushed outward.
[0052] Conventional vehicles are guided centrally over the bogie, and in curves, the first transverse play (wi(R) transverse play) is reduced to approximately 10-30 mm. This invention forces the vehicle to the outside of the curve in tight curves. Positioning the car body centrally over the running gear (bogie) is impossible in tight curves due to stops. This allows, for example, double-decker cars with pivot pin distances of over 21 m, whereas, according to the current state of the art, no vehicle with a pivot pin distance of more than 20 m is known.
[0053] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that the track-guided vehicle is a rail vehicle.
[0054] Mechanically similar or equivalent solutions are also conceivable. On the one hand, it is possible for the roller assembly to be mounted on the car body and the contour plate to be mounted on the running gear. However, it is also possible for the roller assembly to be mounted on the bogie and the contour plate to be mounted on the car body.
[0055] The first contact surface and the second contact surface are made of a hard and resilient solid material (e.g., steel and / or metal). Steel, in particular, impresses with its high strength characteristics.
[0056] The first transverse play for a double-decker carriage with a 22.5 m bogie center-to-center distance can have the following values. On a straight line, the first transverse play (wi (R)-transverse play) is 0.1 m. In a curve with R = 250 m, the first transverse play (wi (R)-transverse play) is -0.034 m. In a curve with R = 100 m, the first transverse play (wi (R)-transverse play) is -0.073 m.
[0057] It is possible to exchange the connection of the roller and contour plate on the car body or chassis.
[0058] The invention will be explained below using several embodiments with reference to the drawings.
[0059] It shows: Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a car body arrangement according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement according to the invention; Fig. 2 shows a modified schematic representation of a car body arrangement according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement according to the invention; Fig. 3 shows a schematic detailed sectional representation of a transverse guide arrangement according to the invention according to a first embodiment; Fig. 4 shows a schematic detailed sectional representation of a transverse guide arrangement according to the invention according to a second embodiment. Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment of a car body arrangement according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement according to the invention; and Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment of a car body arrangement according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement according to the invention.
[0060] Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a car body arrangement 20 according to the invention of a track-guided vehicle 1 with at least one transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention.
[0061] The track-guided vehicle 1 comprises at least one car body arrangement 20.
[0062] The car body arrangement 20 is particularly intended for a track-guided vehicle 1.
[0063] According to the embodiment, the track-guided vehicle 1 is a rail vehicle.
[0064] The car body arrangement 20 comprises a car body 2 and at least one, according to the embodiments preferably two, bogie(s) 4 and a transverse guide arrangement 100 for each bogie 4.
[0065] According to the exemplary embodiments, the transverse guide arrangement 100 is designed in particular for a car body arrangement 20 of a track-guided vehicle 1 for transversely guiding a car body 2 relative to a chassis 4. The transverse guide arrangement 100 comprises at least one first guide arrangement 10.1, 10.2. The first guide arrangement 10.1, 10.2 comprises a first car body-fixed element 110.1, 110.2 with a first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 and a first chassis-fixed element 120.1, 120.2 with a second contact surface 122.1, 122.2.
[0066] In the embodiment, two first guide arrangements 10.1, 10.2 are formed for each chassis 4.
[0067] The first two guide arrangements 10.1, 10.2 are arranged on a chassis area extending from the center of the chassis to the center of the car body.
[0068] However, it can also be provided that four first guide arrangements 10.1, 10.2 are formed for each chassis 4.
[0069] The first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 and the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2 form a first contact surface pair K 11, K 1.2.
[0070] The first car body-fixed element 110.1, 110.2 and / or the first chassis-fixed element 120.1, 120.2 has / have an elastic bearing arrangement 130.
[0071] The problem of edge contact is addressed by the design of the elastic bearing arrangement 130. The elastic bearing arrangement 130 can be designed, for example, as rubber bushings or as spherical bearings.
[0072] The elastic bearing arrangement 130 is designed such that the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 and the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2 are contacted by a contact force F contact acting on the first contact surface pair K 11, K 1.2 (cf. Fig. 3 and 4 ) can be aligned with each other.
[0073] The car body 2 can be guided transversely off-center relative to the chassis 4 by the transverse guide arrangement 100.
[0074] A first transverse clearance wi (R) is formed between the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 and the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2.
[0075] The first transverse play wi (R) is variable, particularly depending on an angular deflection α of the chassis 4, and can take positive and negative values.
[0076] In particular, the first transverse play to the inside of the curve wi (R) is decisive for the possible pivot pin distance.
[0077] The transverse guide arrangement 100 has a second guide arrangement 20.
[0078] The second guide arrangement 20 comprises two second chassis-fixed elements 210.1, 210.2, each with a third contact surface 212.1, 212.2, and a second car body-fixed element 220 with two fourth contact surfaces 222.1, 222.2.
[0079] The third contact surfaces 212.1, 212.2 and the fourth contact surfaces 222.1, 222.2 form two second contact surface pairs K 2.1 , K 2.2.
[0080] A second transverse clearance wa (R) is formed between the third contact surface 212.1, 212.2 and the fourth contact surface 222.1, 222.2 of the respective second contact surface pair K 2.1, K 2.2.
[0081] The second transverse play wa (R) can be variable depending on a rotation of the chassis 4, and can take positive values.
[0082] According to the exemplary embodiments, the first chassis-fixed element 120.1, 120.2 is a contoured plate, and the second contact surface 122 is designed as a contoured plate surface 126. The first car body-fixed element 110.1, 110.2 is designed as a roller arrangement. The first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 is designed as a roller surface 136.
[0083] Alternatively, it can be provided (not shown in the figures) that the first element 110.1, 110.2 fixed to the car body is a contour plate and the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 is designed as a contour plate surface 126. The first element 120.1, 120.2 fixed to the chassis is designed as a roller arrangement 131 and the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2 is designed as a roller surface 136.
[0084] The car body 2 can be deflected by the transverse guide arrangement 100 relative to the chassis 4 when the chassis 4 is rotated against an inner curve direction BI.
[0085] The car body 2 can thus be deflected outwards relative to the chassis 4 by the transverse guide arrangement 100 when the chassis 4 is turned out.
[0086] Fig. 2 shows a modified schematic representation of a car body arrangement 20 according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention.
[0087] According to Fig. 2 The vehicle is guided in a tight curve by a much steeper contour plate.
[0088] From the Fig. 2 It can be seen that with the illustrated off-center guidance, the first transverse clearance wi (R) is reduced to such an extent that in tight curves, the car body 2 is pushed outwards and the first transverse clearance wi (R) is negative. This off-center guidance of the car body 2 ensures that the clearance gauge LP maintained by the infrastructure is maintained even with particularly long cars, because the car body 2 is displaced relative to the bogies 4.
[0089] As can be seen from the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 As can be seen, the contour plate surface has a variable width which is designed such that, depending on a rotation α (deflection angle) of the chassis, the transverse play (wi (R)) can be changed by the position of the roller arrangement in relation to the contour plate surface, wherein preferably the contour plate surface 126 is designed such that the transverse play wi (R) assumes smaller, preferably negative, values with increasing rotation of the chassis 4.
[0090] The car body 2 has at least one indentation 50. Preferably, each end of the car body 2 has two indentations 50.
[0091] Fig. 3 shows a schematic detailed sectional view of a transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention according to a first embodiment.
[0092] According to Fig. 3 the first guide arrangement 10.1, 10.2 is shown in detail.
[0093] As from Fig. 3 The elastic bearing arrangement 130 is designed such that the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 and the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2 can be aligned with one another by a contact force F contact acting on the first contact surface pair K 11, K 1.2.
[0094] According to the first embodiment, the car body-fixed element 110.1, 110.2 is mounted by the elastic bearing arrangement 130. As shown in the Fig. 3 shown to be a roller assembly 131 which is elastically supported by the elastic bearing assembly 130.
[0095] For elastic support, bearing bushes 132 are formed, which carry an axle 134. The roller is arranged on the axle and has the roller surface 136, which serves as the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2.
[0096] The roller surface 136 has rounded edges KR.
[0097] The first chassis-fixed element 120.1, 120.2 is designed as a contour plate having the contour plate surface 126, which serves as the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2.
[0098] The contact force K contact initially acts off-center on the roller surface 136 in the case of edge contact. In this case, the Fig. 3 The upper elastic bearing arrangement 130 shown is subjected to a greater load relative to the bearing bush 132 than the lower elastic bearing 130 relative to the lower bearing bush 132. The upper elastic bearing arrangement 130 is thus displaced more strongly and an alignment, in particular a parallel position, of the first contact surface pair K 1.1 , K 1.2 , i.e. the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2 relative to the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2, occurs.
[0099] Fig. 4 shows a schematic detailed sectional view of a transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention according to a second embodiment.
[0100] The second embodiment can be combined with the first embodiment or can also be provided as an alternative to the first embodiment. Only the differences or additional features of the second embodiment compared to the first embodiment are explained below.
[0101] According to the second embodiment, the chassis-fixed element 120.1, 120.2 is mounted by the elastic bearing arrangement 130. This is, as shown in the Fig. 4 shown to be a contour plate which is elastically mounted by the elastic bearing arrangement 130.
[0102] For elastic mounting, the contour plate is connected by means of the elastic bearing arrangement 130 in such a way that roll angles of the contour plate can be compensated and / or slight transverse movements are possible.
[0103] The contact force K contact initially acts off-center on the roller surface 136 in the case of edge contact. In this case, the Fig. 4 The upper region of the contour plate surface 126, shown in FIG. 1, is subjected to a greater load than the lower region of the contour plate surface. Thus, the contour plate and the culture plate surface 126 are deflected by an angle around the elastic bearing arrangement 130, resulting in an alignment, in particular a parallel position, of the first contact surface pair K 1.1 , K 1.2 , i.e., the second contact surface 122.1, 122.2 relative to the first contact surface 112.1, 112.2.
[0104] Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment of a car body arrangement 20 according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention.
[0105] According to Fig. 5 the transverse guide arrangement 100 additionally has at least one eccentric spring and / or damper element 40 acting transversely to the direction of travel, which is connected to the chassis 4 and to the car body 2 and is arranged eccentrically from the chassis center M to the car body center.
[0106] This spring and / or damper element 40 is arranged between the bogie 4 and the car body 2. When entering a curve, the spring and / or damper element 40 supports the outward displacement of the car body 2 by rotating the bogie 4. This element can thus support the transverse play linkage and thus reduce the forces on the linkage and the wheel / rail forces.
[0107] Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment of a car body arrangement 20 according to the invention with at least one transverse guide arrangement 100 according to the invention.
[0108] According to Fig. 6The car body arrangement 20 has an articulated train arrangement, with two car bodies being assigned to one running gear. Here, a transverse guide arrangement with four guide assemblies 10.1, 10.2 is shown in order to guide each car individually off-center. The car bodies of articulated trains are usually connected with a joint. For off-center transverse guidance, a certain degree of transverse mobility between the car bodies is advantageous in order to guide each car individually transversely in the curve, even when entering curves and on S-bends. The transverse guide arrangement 100 shown in the figure is a preferred option for connecting the car bodies 2 individually in the transverse direction to the running gear 4.
[0109] It is possible to exchange the connection of the roller and contour plate on the car body or chassis.
[0110] The above disclosure applies equally to a passenger transport vehicle, preferably a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, comprising at least one car body assembly / transverse guide assembly configured as described above. Furthermore, the above disclosure applies equally to a car body assembly.
[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the features of all embodiments described above can be combined with one another in any desired manner to form further alternative embodiments of the invention. Furthermore, all features of subclaims can be combined individually with any feature of any other claim, either individually or in any desired combination, to obtain further alternative embodiments.
[0112] Although the invention has been illustrated and described in detail using an exemplary embodiment, the invention is not limited to the disclosed examples, and other variations may be derived therefrom by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. Regardless of the grammatical gender of a particular term, this includes persons with male, female, or other gender identities.
