Description

[0001] The invention relates to a freight wagon bogie frame, a freight wagon bogie equipped therewith, a freight wagon equipped therewith, and a method for manufacturing the freight wagon bogie frame.

[0002] For the purposes of this document, freight wagons are also known as freight cars or cargo wagons. Freight wagons, as defined in this document, are railway wagons used for the transport of goods.

[0003] Passenger cars, which can be used by people in rail transport, must be clearly distinguished from freight cars. The requirements for bogies for freight cars and bogies for passenger cars are completely different with regard to speed, load capacity, smooth running, and noise levels. For this reason, bogies for freight cars and bogies for passenger cars have entirely different designs. There are also bogies for multiple units.

[0004] The present invention relates to a freight wagon bogie frame or a freight wagon bogie for a freight wagon. In particular, the invention relates to a lightweight bogie or H-frame for freight wagons in welded construction.

[0005] The competitiveness of rail freight transport compared to road freight transport can be achieved by increasing the payload and consequently reducing the dead weight.

[0006] From DE1530153A1, a bogie for a freight wagon is known. The bogie comprises a bogie frame with a first longitudinal beam, a second longitudinal beam, and a crossbeam, wherein a pivot bearing is arranged on the crossbeam. The first longitudinal beam is coupled to a first side of the crossbeam by means of a welded connection. The second longitudinal beam is coupled to a second side of the crossbeam by means of a welded connection. The two longitudinal beams are designed as I-beams and each has a recess in the central web into which the crossbeam is inserted and welded to the central web.

[0007] The bogie design of DE1530153A1 has the disadvantage that the welds are difficult to access in terms of both manufacturability and inspection. Furthermore, forces occurring in the transverse direction due to the welding of the crossbeam to the central web of the longitudinal beam, such as track guidance forces, can lead to twisting of the longitudinal beam. For this reason, the individual components of the bogie must have large sheet thicknesses to provide sufficient strength reserves. This results in a high mass and high stiffness of the bogie. Additionally, due to manufacturing constraints, the individual welds must have large weld volumes to compensate for the highly variable weld gaps caused by manufacturing tolerances. This leads to complex manufacturing with a long production time. Moreover, the welding of this bogie is difficult to automate.Despite the aforementioned disadvantages, current freight wagon bogie frames are still manufactured according to the principle of DE1530153A1. This suggests that railway experts hold the technical prejudice that the freight wagon bogie frame cannot be improved further.

[0008] The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved freight wagon bogie frame, a freight wagon bogie equipped therewith, a freight wagon equipped therewith, and a method for manufacturing the freight wagon bogie frame.

[0009] Lightweight construction is one possibility, for example through the use of aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys and aluminum welds do not have a defined fatigue limit. These alloys are not suitable for applications with high load cycles.

[0010] Another possibility is to reduce the wall thickness. This can be achieved by using higher-strength steels. However, the welds do not exhibit a higher fatigue strength than the standard S355 carbon steels used. The fatigue strength properties of the welds are particularly important for H-frames, as they are generally welded together from three parts – longitudinal beams and crossbeams – via a single interface. One-piece H-frame bogie frames are not known due to manufacturability and material waste.

[0011] The object of the invention is solved by a freight wagon bogie frame, a freight wagon bogie equipped therewith, a freight wagon equipped therewith, and a method for manufacturing the freight wagon bogie frame according to the claims.

[0012] According to the invention, a freight wagon bogie frame is designed for a freight wagon. The freight wagon bogie frame comprises: a first longitudinal beam; a second longitudinal beam; a crossbeam, wherein the crossbeam is designed as a box beam with a crossbeam top chord, a crossbeam bottom chord, a front crossbeam web plate and a rear crossbeam web plate, wherein a pivot socket is formed on the crossbeam, wherein the first longitudinal beam is coupled to a first side of the crossbeam by means of a welded connection and wherein the second longitudinal beam is coupled to a second side of the crossbeam by means of a welded connection.

[0013] The first longitudinal beam, viewed from above, is T-shaped and comprises a first main section and a first transverse section projecting in a transverse direction relative to the first main section, the first transverse section being connected to the first side of the transverse beam at a first interface by means of a welded connection. Furthermore, the second longitudinal beam, viewed from above, is T-shaped and comprises a second main section projecting in a transverse direction relative to the second main section and a second transverse section, the second transverse section being connected to the second side of the transverse beam at a second interface by means of a welded connection.

[0014] The freight wagon bogie frame according to the invention offers the surprising advantage that the T-shaped longitudinal beam enables a design in which the forces are efficiently transferred from the wagon body to the wheelsets without causing excessive stress concentrations at any single component. This allows the individual plates to have a thinner profile overall, resulting in a significant weight reduction compared to known freight wagon bogie frames. This leads to increased efficiency during operation of the freight wagon. Furthermore, the measures according to the invention reduce the loads on the interface. Additionally, the measures according to the invention allow for a thinner weld seam compared to the prior art, resulting in less distortion and therefore less residual stress in the freight wagon bogie frame.This further leads to the effect that the utilization rate in the welds can be lower, thus reducing the testing requirements. The measures according to the invention also offer the advantage of improving accessibility to the weld points between the longitudinal beams and the crossbeam, thereby improving the quality and testability of the welds. This also has the advantage that the geometric notch, which is formed by the shape at the interface between the main part and the cross part of the first longitudinal beam or the second longitudinal beam, does not simultaneously contain the metallurgical notch formed by a welded joint.Thus, the two material weaknesses of the geometric notch and the metallurgical notch can be locally separated from each other in order to keep stress peaks in the interface between longitudinal beam and crossbeam as low as possible and to prevent component failure with the smallest possible sheet thicknesses of the individual sheets.

[0015] In other words, the T-shaped design of the longitudinal beams allows the interface between the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam to be shifted towards a central plane compared to the prior art, thereby improving the transfer of forces from the crossbeam to the longitudinal beams. The interface between the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam is defined as the connection of the individual plates of the longitudinal beam to the individual plates of the crossbeam by means of a welded joint. A metallurgical notch is therefore located in the area of ​​this interface.

[0016] In particular, it can be provided that at least some of the individual plates of the first longitudinal beam are formed in one piece and extend from the first main section into the first transverse section, and that at least some of the individual plates of the second longitudinal beam are formed in one piece and extend from the second main section into the second transverse section. This has the advantage that the geometric notch, which is formed by the shape at the transition between the main section and the transverse section of the first longitudinal beam or the second longitudinal beam, does not simultaneously contain the metallurgical notch, which is formed by a welded joint. Thus, the two material weaknesses of the geometric notch and the metallurgical notch can be locally separated in order to keep stress concentrations at the transition between the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam as low as possible and to prevent component failure with the thinnest possible plate thicknesses.

[0017] In particular, it can be provided that the first longitudinal girder bottom flange, the first longitudinal girder center flange, the first front longitudinal girder cross web plate, and the second rear longitudinal girder cross web plate are formed in one piece and extend from the first main section into the first cross section. Furthermore, it can be provided that the second longitudinal girder bottom flange, the second longitudinal girder center flange, the second front longitudinal girder cross web plate, and the second rear longitudinal girder cross web plate are formed in one piece and extend from the second main section into the second cross section. This has the advantage that the geometric notch, which is formed by the shape at the transition between the main section and the cross section of the first longitudinal girder or the second longitudinal girder, does not simultaneously contain the metallurgical notch formed by a welded joint.Thus, the two material weaknesses of the geometric notch and the metallurgical notch can be locally separated from each other in order to keep stress peaks in the transition between longitudinal beam and crossbeam as low as possible and to prevent component failure with the smallest possible sheet thicknesses of the individual sheets.

[0018] The invention employs a design approach optimized for stress. Crucial to this was the design and positioning of the interface between the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam. This interface is located in a low-stress position within the freight wagon bogie frame. The design prioritized clear force flows and avoided geometric notches. Furthermore, the force flows within the freight wagon bogie frame were analyzed, and the support structure was adapted accordingly.

[0019] The T-shaped design of the longitudinal beam refers to the outer contour of the longitudinal beam in top view.

[0020] In particular, it may be provided that a swivel socket is accommodated in the swivel socket receptacle. The swivel socket may be coupled to the swivel socket receptacle by means of a weld. In particular, it may be provided that the swivel socket receptacle is formed in the top flange of the crossbeam. The swivel socket receptacle may be formed in the form of a circular recess in the top flange of the crossbeam. Furthermore, it may be provided that the swivel socket has a weld shoulder, which serves to interact with the swivel socket receptacle or to provide a surface for a weld. In this case, it may be provided that the swivel socket receptacle is welded to the circular recess of the swivel socket receptacle by means of a V-weld in the area of ​​the weld shoulder. On its outer circumference, the swivel socket receptacle may be welded to the top flange of the crossbeam by means of a fillet weld.In particular, the swivel socket may be designed as a rotationally symmetrical component. Furthermore, the swivel socket may be formed as a casting.

[0021] In an alternative design variant, the swivel socket can be formed directly in the top flange of the crossbeam. This can be achieved, for example, through a sheet metal forming process such as deep drawing or embossing. The swivel socket receptacle can then directly form the contour of the swivel socket. Furthermore, the swivel socket receptacle can be provided with a sliding coating that forms the sliding surface for the swivel socket.

[0022] Furthermore, it can be advantageous to have a first lateral support for the car body on the first longitudinal beam, particularly on the first transverse section of the first longitudinal beam, and a second lateral support for the car body on the second longitudinal beam, particularly on the second transverse section of the second longitudinal beam. This offers the advantage that the support forces of the car body support, as well as the braking and track guidance forces, can be transferred simply and directly into the longitudinal beams. This further improves the stability of the freight wagon bogie frame and reduces the loads on the interface between the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam, since the support forces of the car body support are transferred directly into the longitudinal beams and thus do not have to be transmitted via the interface between the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam.In other words, the first lateral support for the car body can be located outside the first interface, and the second lateral support for the car body can be located outside the second interface.

[0023] Furthermore, it may be provided that the first longitudinal beam is designed as a box beam, at least in the connection area to the cross beam, and has a first longitudinal beam intermediate chord and a first longitudinal beam lower chord, wherein the first longitudinal beam intermediate chord connects to the cross beam upper chord and the first longitudinal beam lower chord connects to the cross beam lower chord.

[0024] The second longitudinal beam can be designed as a box girder, at least in the area where it connects to the crossbeam, and can have a second longitudinal beam center chord and a second longitudinal beam bottom chord, with the second longitudinal beam center chord connecting to the crossbeam top chord and the second longitudinal beam bottom chord connecting to the crossbeam bottom chord. This measure further improves the stability of the longitudinal beam, resulting in an overall lighter structure.

[0025] In a first embodiment variant, it can be provided that further components are present above the longitudinal beam's central chord and that the longitudinal beam's central chord is thus arranged in an intermediate layer of the longitudinal beam.

[0026] In a second design variant, it can be provided that no further components are present above the longitudinal beam's central chord and that the longitudinal beam's central chord thus forms the upper end of the longitudinal beam.

[0027] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first transverse part of the first longitudinal beam is designed as a box girder and comprises the first longitudinal beam center chord, the first longitudinal beam bottom chord, a first front longitudinal beam cross web plate and a first rear longitudinal beam cross web plate, wherein the first longitudinal beam center chord, the first longitudinal beam bottom chord, the first front longitudinal beam cross web plate and the first rear longitudinal beam cross web plate extend into the first main part, and that the second transverse part of the second longitudinal beam is designed as a box girder and comprises the second longitudinal beam center chord, the second longitudinal beam bottom chord, a second front longitudinal beam cross web plate and a second rear longitudinal beam cross web plate, wherein the second longitudinal beam center chord, the second longitudinal beam bottom chord, the second front longitudinal beam cross web plate and the second rear longitudinal beam cross web plate extend into the second main part.This measure further improves the stability of the longitudinal beam, resulting in an overall lighter structure. This is achieved by ensuring that tensile and compressive stresses, as well as shear flow, can be transmitted unimpeded within the bending beam.

[0028] Furthermore, it may be provided that the first longitudinal beam has a first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate and a first rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate, wherein the first longitudinal beam center chord connects to the cross-beam top chord and the first longitudinal beam bottom chord connects to the cross-beam bottom chord and the first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate connects to the front cross-beam top chord and the first rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate connects to the rear cross-beam top chord, and that the second longitudinal beam has a second front longitudinal beam cross-web plate and a second rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate, wherein the second longitudinal beam center chord connects to the cross-beam top chord and the second longitudinal beam bottom chord connects to the cross-beam bottom chord and the second front longitudinal beam cross-web plate connects to the front cross-beam top chord and the second rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate connects to the rear cross-beam top chord.This measure can further improve the stability of the longitudinal beam, resulting in an overall lighter construction.

[0029] Furthermore, it may be provided that the first longitudinal beam intermediate chord and the second longitudinal beam intermediate chord are assigned to the crossbeam upper chord, wherein in each case in the connection area an offset between the crossbeam upper chord and the first longitudinal beam intermediate chord and an offset between the crossbeam upper chord and the second longitudinal beam intermediate chord is smaller than one sheet thickness of the crossbeam upper chord, and that The first and second longitudinal beam bottom flanges are assigned to the crossbeam bottom flange, with the offset between the crossbeam bottom flange and the first longitudinal beam bottom flange, and the offset between the crossbeam bottom flange and the second longitudinal beam bottom flange, being less than the thickness of the crossbeam bottom flange sheet in each connection area. This measure ensures that the force flow between the crossbeam top flange and the longitudinal beam center flanges is as straight as possible and exhibits minimal kinks. In particular, this minimizes or prevents the introduction of torsional stresses at the transition from the crossbeam top flange to the longitudinal beam center flanges. Ideally, the aim is to keep the offset between the crossbeam top flange and the longitudinal beam center flanges as small as possible, ideally zero. However, due to manufacturing tolerances, a slight offset cannot be completely ruled out.The identical cross-sectional shapes of the connection point between the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam improve the force flow. Any tolerances can be compensated for with an interface plate.

[0030] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first rear longitudinal beam cross web plate and the second rear longitudinal beam cross web plate are associated with the rear cross beam cross web plate, wherein in each transition area the offset between the rear cross beam cross web plate and the first rear longitudinal beam cross web plate, and the offset between the rear cross beam cross web plate and the second rear longitudinal beam cross web plate, is less than the thickness of the rear cross beam cross web plate. This measure can improve the force transmission between the cross beam and the longitudinal beam.

[0031] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate and the second front longitudinal beam cross-web plate are associated with the front cross-beam cross-web plate, wherein in each transition area the offset between the front cross-beam cross-web plate and the first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate, and the offset between the front cross-beam cross-web plate and the second front longitudinal beam cross-web plate, is less than the thickness of the front cross-beam cross-web plate. This measure can improve the force transmission between the cross-beam and the longitudinal beam.

[0032] Another advantageous design is one in which a first interface plate is arranged between the first longitudinal beam and the first side of the crossbeam, and a second interface plate is arranged between the second longitudinal beam and the second side of the crossbeam. This has the advantage that a slight offset between the top flange of the crossbeam and the intermediate flanges of the longitudinal beams, or between the additional plates of the crossbeam's cross section and the crossbeam, does not weaken the connection between the cross section of the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam.

[0033] According to further training, it is possible for the first longitudinal girder center flange to be directly connected to the crossbeam top flange by means of a butt weld, in particular a V-weld, and for the first interface plate to be connected to both the first longitudinal girder center flange and the crossbeam top flange by means of a fillet weld. Such a connection can be designed as a three-plate splice. This offers the surprising advantage that a particularly stable connection between the longitudinal girder and the crossbeam can be achieved.

[0034] Furthermore, it may be provided that a first support rib and a second support rib are arranged between the front crossbeam web plate and the rear crossbeam web plate, extending from the upper crossbeam chord to the lower crossbeam chord.

[0035] Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the first front longitudinal beam cross web plate and the front cross beam web plate each abut laterally against the first interface plate and are each coupled to the first interface plate by means of a fillet weld or a HY weld. This offers the surprising advantage that a particularly stable connection of the longitudinal beam to the cross beam can be achieved through this measure.

[0036] Furthermore, it can be provided that front recesses are formed in the front crossbeam web plate and rear recesses are formed in the rear crossbeam web plate. This has the advantage of improving access to the interior of the crossbeam, allowing the individual components to be welded together and the welds to be inspected from within the crossbeam. This results in increased reliability of the freight wagon bogie frame. In addition, this measure can achieve a weight reduction.

[0037] Furthermore, it can be advantageous for the front recesses to have both a transverse and a vertical extent, with the transverse extent being greater than the vertical extent in at least some of the front recesses. This offers the advantage of simultaneously reducing weight while increasing stiffness. In particular, this measure can optimize force flows, thereby minimizing stress peaks in the front crossbeam web plate. By designing the recesses or by incorporating internal ribs in the area between the recesses, the crossbeam can have a structure similar to a truss girder, further improving the stiffness-to-weight ratio.Furthermore, this measure can improve the bending stiffness of the crossbeam while simultaneously reducing the torsional stiffness of the crossbeam in order to allow necessary twisting of the crossbeam due to unevenness on the rails and to keep the stress peaks as low as possible.

[0038] Furthermore, the recesses can be designed with a rounded shape. This has the advantage of improving the stress distribution in the front and rear crossbeam web plates.

[0039] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first longitudinal beam has a first intermediate section in the area of ​​the first main section, wherein the first intermediate section is designed, at least partially, as a box girder comprising the first longitudinal beam intermediate chord, the first longitudinal beam lower chord, an outer lower longitudinal beam web plate, and an inner lower longitudinal beam web plate. This measure can further improve the stiffness of the longitudinal beam. In particular, this measure can improve the torsional stiffness of the longitudinal beam. Increased torsional stiffness of the longitudinal beam offers the advantage that transverse forces, such as steering forces, can be transferred more effectively into the crossbeam. This also results in a step in stiffness in the transverse direction of the longitudinal beams, which changes the distribution of transverse force transfer and relieves the stress on the interface between longitudinal beams one / two and the intermediate connection.

[0040] In particular, it may be provided that the inner lower longitudinal beam web plate is divided and comprises a front single plate and a rear single plate.

[0041] Furthermore, it can be provided that the front single sheet connects to the first front longitudinal beam cross member sheet and that the rear single sheet connects to the first rear longitudinal beam cross member sheet.

[0042] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate and the first rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate extend to the outer lower longitudinal beam cross-web plate and connect to it laterally. In particular, it can be provided that the first front longitudinal beam cross-web plate and the first rear longitudinal beam cross-web plate are each welded to the outer lower longitudinal beam cross-web plate by means of fillet welds on both sides. This measure can further improve the torsional stiffness of the longitudinal beam.

[0043] Furthermore, it can be provided that in the first central section, above the first longitudinal girder center flange, an outer upper longitudinal girder web plate and an inner upper longitudinal girder web plate are arranged, which are welded to the first longitudinal girder center flange. This has the advantage that the stability and load-bearing capacity of the longitudinal girder can be further improved. This also creates space for the car body support.

[0044] Another advantageous design is one in which a first upper longitudinal beam chord is arranged in the first central section above the outer upper longitudinal beam web plate and the inner upper longitudinal beam web plate, with the outer upper longitudinal beam web plate and the inner upper longitudinal beam web plate being welded to the first upper longitudinal beam chord. This has the advantage of further improving the stability of the longitudinal beam.

[0045] According to a further development, it is possible for the first longitudinal girder center chord in the first main section to have a front and a rear upturn, with the longitudinal girder center chord connecting to and being welded to the first longitudinal girder top chord at both the front and rear upturns. This offers the advantage of improved force transmission and flow between the crossbeam and the longitudinal girders.

[0046] Furthermore, it can be advantageous for the first longitudinal beam in the area of ​​the first main section to have a first front section, wherein the first front section is designed as an I-beam. This has the advantage that material can be saved in the less stressed areas, thereby achieving a further reduction in the weight of the freight wagon bogie frame.

[0047] Furthermore, the first front section can be designed to include the first upper chord of the longitudinal girder, the first lower chord of the longitudinal girder, and the inner lower web plate of the longitudinal girder, the latter having a transverse offset. This measure allows for a simple transition within the longitudinal girder between the box girder and I-beam configurations. It also ensures efficient transfer of forces occurring within the longitudinal girder.

[0048] In particular, it can be provided that the outer lower longitudinal beam web plate has a bend and is brought close to and welded to the inner lower longitudinal beam web plate in the area of ​​the bend. This can further improve the stability of the longitudinal beam.

[0049] Furthermore, it can be advantageous to arrange a support rib between the outer lower longitudinal beam web plate and the inner lower longitudinal beam web plate, which is welded to the outer lower longitudinal beam web plate, the inner lower longitudinal beam web plate, and the first lower longitudinal beam flange. This has the advantage of improving the support of the wheelsets.

[0050] Furthermore, the first upper chord of the longitudinal girder can be provided with a front bend and a rear bend, with the upper chord of the first lower chord being connected to and welded to it at both the front and rear bends. This measure can further improve the force transmission within the longitudinal girder.

[0051] Furthermore, it can be provided that the upper and lower chords of the crossbeam have the same sheet thickness. This offers the advantage that good stiffness of the crossbeam can be achieved while maintaining a low weight.

[0052] Furthermore, it can be provided that recesses are formed in the lower chord of the crossbeam, in particular that the recesses have a transverse and a longitudinal extent, with the transverse extent being greater than the longitudinal extent. This further reduces the load on the interface between the first / second longitudinal beam and the central connection. By designing the recesses in the lower chord of the crossbeam, or by incorporating internal ribs in the area between the recesses, the crossbeam can have a structure similar to a truss girder, thereby further improving the stiffness-to-weight ratio.Furthermore, this measure can improve the bending stiffness of the crossbeam while simultaneously reducing the torsional stiffness of the crossbeam in order to allow necessary twisting of the crossbeam due to unevenness on the rails and to keep the stress peaks as low as possible.

[0053] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first longitudinal beam in the area of ​​the first main section comprises an outer lower longitudinal beam web plate and an inner lower longitudinal beam web plate, wherein the inner lower longitudinal beam web plate comprises two individual plates. This has the advantage that, as a result of this measure, the first front longitudinal beam cross web plate and the first rear longitudinal beam cross web plate can extend continuously from the first interface to the outer lower longitudinal beam web plate. This improves the force transmission in the longitudinal beam and thus the strength of the longitudinal beam.

[0054] Furthermore, it may be provided that the crossbeam upper chord is designed with recesses for attaching components, such as brackets for hoses and the like.

[0055] Furthermore, it can be provided that at least one brake mounting is arranged on the first longitudinal beam and at least one brake mounting is arranged on the second longitudinal beam. This has the advantage that the forces acting in the brake mountings can be introduced directly into the longitudinal beams and thus do not have to be transmitted via the interface between the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam, as is the case in the prior art when the brake mountings are arranged on the crossbeam.

[0056] In particular, it may be provided that the brake mounts are welded to the longitudinal crossbeam plates.

[0057] Furthermore, the crossbeam can be modified to have different widths, thus accommodating various track gauges. The longitudinal beams can, in turn, have different positions for the lateral car body support, which can maintain a consistent support spacing regardless of the track gauge.

[0058] According to the invention, a freight wagon bogie is designed for a freight wagon. The freight wagon bogie comprises: a freight wagon bogie frame; a wheelset guide, wherein the wheelset guide is arranged on the freight wagon bogie frame; a brake, wherein the brake is arranged on the freight wagon bogie frame.

[0059] The freight wagon bogie frame is designed according to one of the preceding designs.

[0060] According to a further development, it is possible to arrange a first front wheelset guide and a first rear wheelset guide on the first main section of the first longitudinal beam, and a second front wheelset guide and a second rear wheelset guide on the second main section of the second longitudinal beam. This measure allows for efficient transfer of the forces acting on the wheelset guides into the longitudinal beam and thus also into the crossbeam.

[0061] According to the invention, a freight wagon is provided. The freight wagon comprises: a car body; a freight car bogie, wherein the freight car bogie is coupled to the car body by means of a pivot bearing in a load-supporting manner.

[0062] The freight wagon bogie is designed according to one of the above specifications.

[0063] According to the invention, a method for manufacturing a freight wagon bogie frame is provided. The method comprises the following process steps: Providing a first longitudinal beam; providing a second longitudinal beam; providing a crossbeam, wherein the crossbeam is designed as a box beam with a crossbeam top chord, a crossbeam bottom chord, a front crossbeam web plate and a rear crossbeam web plate, wherein a pivot socket is provided on the crossbeam, wherein the first longitudinal beam is designed as a box beam at least in the connection area to the cross beam and has a first longitudinal beam intermediate chord and a first longitudinal beam lower chord, wherein the first longitudinal beam intermediate chord connects to the cross beam upper chord and the first longitudinal beam lower chord connects to the cross beam lower chord, and the second longitudinal beam is designed as a box beam at least in the connection area to the cross beam and has a second longitudinal beam intermediate chord and a second longitudinal beam lower chord, wherein the second longitudinal beam intermediate chord connects to the cross beam upper chord and the second longitudinal beam lower chord connects to the cross beam lower chord.

[0064] The method according to the invention has the advantage that the freight wagon bogie frame can be manufactured simply and with high repeatability, thereby improving the quality of the freight wagon bogie frame.

[0065] Furthermore, it can be provided that a pivot socket is welded into the pivot socket receptacle of the upper crossbeam chord to provide the crossbeam, and that the front and rear crossbeam web plates are welded to the lower crossbeam chord, and that in a subsequent process step, the upper crossbeam chord is welded to the front and rear crossbeam web plates, whereby an inner surface of the front and / or rear crossbeam web plate is also welded to the lower crossbeam chord through the front recesses of the front crossbeam web plate and / or through the rear recesses of the rear crossbeam web plate. This has the advantage that the crossbeam can have a stable structure as a result of this measure.By relocating the interface and the openings in the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam, better accessibility for manufacturing is achieved, which simplifies the process.

[0066] Furthermore, it can be planned that the welding of the individual components of the freight wagon bogie frame is automated using a welding robot. This offers the advantage of improving the repeatability in the manufacturing of the bogie frame. Moreover, this measure allows for the automation of the bogie frame production. Previously, with freight wagon bogie frames, there was a prevailing technical misconception that, due to high manufacturing tolerances, automated welding of the bogie frames was either impossible or too complex.

[0067] Another advantageous design involves automated optical inspection of the welds by a robot after the individual components have been welded. This inspection is performed by mounting a camera on the welding robot, which then repeats the welding process movements in an offset pattern. This allows for slimmer welds overall, saving time in the production of the freight wagon bogie frame and simultaneously improving its quality.

[0068] In particular, it may be provided that a freight wagon bogie frame with a first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam is also referred to as an H-frame.

[0069] Furthermore, it may be provided that the freight wagon bogie frame, which is designed as a welded component, is also referred to as a welded freight wagon bogie frame.

[0070] Furthermore, the freight wagon bogie frame can be designed to be interface-compatible with Y25 bogies and their interchangeable components. Due to this interface compatibility with existing Y25 wagon bodies, only limited installation space is available for the freight wagon bogie frame, specifically restricted by the wagon body support, brake linkage, wheelset guides, and the outer enclosure for Y25 bogies.
