Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and are not an exhaustive list of all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other unless they conflict.

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a damping spring to solve the problem that the anti-rolling capability provided by the existing spring under the condition of passing through a curve cannot meet the requirements.

[0040] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the exemplary embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and are not an exhaustive list of all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other unless they conflict.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-2, Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a damping spring provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a working principle diagram of the primary spring suspension device of the bogie provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the damping spring provided herein is used as a primary spring in a bogie. It is understood that in other embodiments, the damping spring can also be used as a secondary spring, a secondary lateral stop, or a secondary longitudinal stop, or other components requiring nonlinearity or stiffness in the design of rubber components. The damping spring includes an upper spring seat 12 assembly 10, a lower spring seat 22 assembly 20, a rubber spring body 30, and an air spring body 40. The upper spring seat 12 assembly 10 is fixed to the frame, and the lower spring seat 22 is fixed to the axle box to transmit vertical loads from the frame. The upper and lower ends of the air spring body 40 are open structures with a cavity structure in the middle, and the upper and lower ends of the air spring body 40 are respectively connected to the upper spring seat 12 component 10 and the lower spring seat 22 component 20 and sealed to form an airbag 70. The airbag 70 has an air path 50 connected to the outside world so that air can be inflated into the airbag 70 to increase the vertical stiffness of the damping spring; the rubber spring body 30 is located in the airbag 70, and the upper and lower ends of the rubber spring body 30 are respectively connected to the upper spring seat 12 component 10 and the lower spring seat 22 component 20. The connection method can be set with reference to the air spring body 40.

[0043] When it is applied to a bogie with an internal axle box, the rubber spring body 30 and the air spring body 40 jointly bear the bogie spring load and the vehicle body load. When carrying the load, the outer air spring body 40 is in a pressurized state, ensuring the normal load-bearing of the bogie's primary suspension device; after using a damping spring in the place of the bogie's primary rubber spring, the vehicle's straight-line running and curve passing performance can be separated, in this case, the vertical stiffness of the primary suspension spring can be reduced.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the damping spring provided in the embodiment of the present application has the following technical effects:

[0045] A rubber spring body 30 and an air spring body 40 are disposed between the upper spring seat 12 assembly 10 and the lower spring seat 22 assembly 20. The air spring body 40 is mounted on the outside of the rubber spring body 30 and includes an airbag 70. The rubber spring body 30 is located within the airbag 70, and the airbag 70 has an air path 50 communicating with the outside. These damping springs can provide the vertical stiffness of the primary spring in a confined space, enabling the separation of the different vertical stiffness parameters required by the bogie for the primary spring under straight and curved conditions. During curved operation, by controlling the air supply to the air spring body 40 in the outer damping spring, the overall vertical stiffness of the outer damping spring is increased, thereby enhancing the anti-roll capability of the vehicle bogie's primary spring.

[0046] Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the air spring body 40 are opened, and the air spring body 40 is a thin-walled structure, preferably a rubber structure; the airbag 70 can be spherical or cylindrical, and can also be set as a model air bag 70 or a bag-type air bag 70 as needed, or it can be a plurality of airbags 70 with hoops, which can be set according to the development level of the existing technology.

[0047] In some embodiments, the upper spring group assembly includes an upper pressure cover 11 and an upper spring seat 12, wherein the bottom end of the upper pressure cover 11 is fixed to the rubber spring body 30, the top end of the upper pressure cover 11 is connected to the opening of the air spring body 40, the upper spring seat 12 is located above the upper pressure cover 11, and the air spring body 40 is located between the upper pressure cover 11 and the upper spring seat 12 for crimping and fixing, and the upper opening of the airbag 70 of the air spring body 40 is sealed; preferably, the upper spring seat 12 and the upper pressure cover 11 are detachably fixedly connected to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0048] At the same time, the lower spring seat 22 assembly 20 includes a lower cover 21 and a lower spring seat 22. The top of the lower cover 21 is fixed to the top of the rubber spring body 30, and the bottom of the lower cover 21 is connected to the opening of the air spring body 40. The lower spring seat 22 is located below the lower cover 21. The air spring body 40 is located between the lower cover 21 and the lower spring seat 22 for crimping and fixing, thereby sealing the bottom opening of the air bag 70 of the air spring body 40. The lower spring seat 22 and the lower cover 21 are detachably fixed to facilitate disassembly and assembly. Generally, the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 21 are located in the air bag 70 of the air spring body 40 and are used to block the top opening and bottom opening of the air spring body 40. Preferably, the upper cover 11 and the upper spring seat 12, and the lower cover 21 and the lower spring seat 22 are respectively fixed by fastening screws 60 to ensure airtightness between the air bag 70 and the lower cover 21, and between the air bag 70 and the upper cover 11. The lower spring seat 22 is a rotating part as a whole, which is connected to the built-in axle box through a positioning surface and a positioning pin. Preferably, a positioning pin hole is provided on the base to prevent rotation between the damping spring and the built-in axle box.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rubber spring body 30 has a hollow inner cavity; the air path 50 passes through the upper spring seat 12, the upper pressure cover 11 and the hollow inner cavity to the lower pressure cover 21 from top to bottom, and radially passes through the outer wall of the lower pressure cover 21 to communicate with the airbag 70; it can be understood that the upper spring seat 12 and the upper pressure cover 11 are provided with a through hole forming the air path 50, and the through hole is preferably arranged along the vertical center line of the upper spring seat 12 and the upper pressure cover 11. After passing through the upper spring seat 12 and the upper pressure cover 11, the air path 50 reaches the hollow inner cavity of the rubber spring body 30, and continues to downwardly pass through the lower pressure cover 21 vertically for a certain vertical distance, and then passes through the outer wall of the lower pressure cover 21 radially along the lower pressure cover 21 to communicate with the airbag 70 to inflate the airbag 70.

[0050] It is understandable that in order to better inflate the airbag 70 , the air paths 50 on the lower gland 21 may be provided in a plurality of ways and radially arranged on the lower gland 21 .

[0051] In order to better fix the air spring body 40, the upper spring seat 12 includes an upper plate body 121 and an upper conical portion 122. The upper conical portion 122 is located on the lower surface of the upper plate body 121. The outer diameter of the upper conical portion 122 decreases in the direction away from the upper plate body 121. The upper conical portion 122 forms a partial core shaft to improve the vertical stiffness of the device. The upper plate body 121 and the upper conical portion 122 are arranged as one piece. The upper surface of the upper plate body 121 is provided with an upper clamping groove. The circumferential edge of the upper end opening of the air spring body 40 is located in the upper clamping groove to limit the air spring body 40 and achieve pre-fixation.

[0052] Similarly, the lower spring seat 22 includes a lower plate body 221 and a lower conical portion 222. The lower conical portion 222 is located on the upper surface of the lower plate body 221. The outer diameter of the lower conical portion 222 decreases in the direction away from the lower plate body 221. The lower conical portion 222 also forms a partial core shaft, further improving the vertical stiffness of the device. The lower plate body 221 and the lower conical portion 222 are arranged as a whole. The lower surface of the lower plate body 221 is provided with a lower groove. The circumferential edge of the lower end opening of the air spring body 40 is located in the lower groove to limit the air spring body 40 and achieve pre-fixation.

[0053] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the rubber spring body 30 are set as openings; the upper end opening of the rubber spring body 30 is fitted on the circumferential outer wall of the upper conical portion 122; the lower end opening of the rubber spring body 30 is fitted on the circumferential outer wall of the lower conical portion 222; a vertical distance is provided between the upper conical portion 122 and the lower conical portion 222, and the lower surface of the upper conical portion 122, the upper surface of the lower conical portion 222 and the circumferential outer wall of the rubber spring body 30 form a buffer cavity; the rubber spring body 30 is bonded and fixed to the upper conical portion 122 and the lower conical portion 222 respectively.

[0054] In some embodiments, the upper spring seat 12 has a support portion 123 extending downward. It can be understood that the upper spring seat 12 as a whole is a rotating feature part, and the support portion 123 has an arc-shaped surface on the side facing the air spring body 40, and the air spring body 40 is in contact with the arc-shaped surface; the distance between the arc-shaped surface and the vertical center line of the upper spring seat 12 increases from top to bottom, and the arc-shaped surface is in contact with the air spring body 40 to constrain and protect the upper part of the airbag 70, preventing dust and particulate matter from damaging or scratching the airbag 70.

[0055] Specifically, the load transfer path is: vertical load from the frame → upper spring seat 12 → upper pressure cover 11 → rubber → lower pressure plate → lower spring seat 22; another load-bearing route is parallel to the rubber load-bearing route, and the path is: vertical load from the frame → upper spring seat 12 assembly 10 → airbag 70 → lower spring seat 22 assembly 20.

[0056] The present application also provides a bogie primary spring suspension device, comprising a frame, a wheelset and any one of the damping springs in the above-mentioned embodiments, a group of damping springs is provided between each built-in axle box and the frame, the lower spring seat 22 of the damping spring is fixed to the axle box via a locating pin, and the upper spring seat 12 of the damping spring is fixed to the frame via a locating pin.

[0057] To achieve automatic control, the bogie primary spring suspension system further includes a displacement sensor 100, an air supply and exhaust unit 200, and a controller 300. The displacement sensors 100 are arranged in pairs, connected to the damping springs at both ends of the axle. Each damping spring is equipped with a corresponding displacement sensor 100. The air supply and exhaust unit 200 is connected to the damping spring's air path 50 and is used to inflate and deflate the damping spring's airbag 70. The controller 300 is connected to the displacement sensor 100 and the air supply and exhaust unit 200, respectively, and controls the operation of the air supply and exhaust unit 200 based on the height difference between the damping springs detected by the displacement sensor 100. In other embodiments, the displacement sensor 100 can also be configured as a height valve, with one side inflated and the other side deflated by controlling the left and right suspension heights, thereby providing the required primary anti-roll capability for the internal axle box bogie under curved conditions.

[0058] The specific operation process is as follows: when the rail vehicle is running in a straight line, the load is borne by the left and right primary suspension damping springs. During operation, since the vehicle body does not have a large rolling movement, the loads of the left and right damping springs are basically the same, the basic heights of the displacement sensors 100 on both sides remain unchanged, and the air springs in the damping springs are not filled or exhausted; when the vehicle is on a curved line (the right suspension is located on the outer rail side), the vehicle body rolls outward, resulting in an increase in the load of the damping spring on the right side of the primary suspension. When the original vertical stiffness remains unchanged, the height of the damping spring decreases, and the reduced displacement is the same as the increased displacement of the damping springs on the left and right suspensions. The controller 300 inflates the air spring on the damping spring on the right side according to the displacement difference generated by the displacement sensors 100 on both sides, thereby increasing the vertical stiffness of the composite spring and improving the anti-rolling ability of the primary suspension device of the bogie.

[0059] This configuration reduces the primary suspension's vertical stiffness during straight-line operation, improving stability and comfort, often due to the vehicle's high vertical stiffness, without compromising safety. During curves, active or semi-active control is used to supply air to the outer damping springs, increasing the combined vertical stiffness of the outer composite springs and boosting the vehicle's bogie's primary suspension's roll resistance.
