    Description

    Technique field



    [0001] This invention relates to an underframe structure of rail vehicles, in particular to an end structure of articulated multiple unit vehicle body underframe.

    Background technique



    [0002] At present, a hook connection device is generally used for the connection between vehicles of domestic multiple unit. However, there are many countries with small land areas, the speed requirements for multiple unit are not too high, and the focus is on the lines with smaller turning radii. Therefore, some foreign vehicle operators require using articulated bogies for the multiple unit.

    [0003] The most successful case of articulated bogies abroad is the French TGV and AGV high-speed vehicles, wherein the bogies are 2-point suspension bolster-free articulated bogies, but height of floor of this articulated-bogie vehicle is relative high . Therefore, considering the convenience of boarding and alighting, an intermediate passage in the vehicle is required by the operator, the intermediate passage has a lower height, and can only be achieved by designing a concave structure in the middle, which is not conducive to the bearing and transmission of the vehicle body, thus raising the design difficulty of the vehicle body.

    [0004] In China, there are few studies on articulated multiple unit vehicles, and articulated connections are mainly used on low-floor vehicles and light rail vehicles, and ram-armed bogies are mainly used. Vehicles with ram-armed bogies have the characteristics of strong ability to pass a small labyrinth radius, but the axle weight is small, generally around 10 tons.

    [0005] Prior art document CN104015745A (see paragraph 19-21 of the specification of CN104015745A, Figures 1 and 5 of CN104015745A) discloses an end structure of articulated multiple unit vehicle body underframe, includes two parallel side beams which are longitudinally disposed, two traction beams parallel to the side beams are disposed between the two side beams, the two traction beams are longitudinally symmetrically arranged; two parallel bolster beams are disposed at the middle of the traction beam; ends of the two side beams and the traction beam, which are located at a passenger compartment passage area, are vertically connected to a partition wall through a second end beam, and the other ends of the two side beams and the traction beam, which are located at the vehicle end connection area, are vertically connected to a first end beam; bottoms of ends of the two traction beams, which are located at the vehicle end connection area, are provided with a hinge seat; lower surfaces of the two traction beams and the two bolster beams are fixedly connected to a hinge support structure, and one end of the hinge support structure is connected to the rear of the hinge seat, and the other end is connected to the partition wall. Therefore, it appears that the end structure described in CN104015745A is intended for mounting on a bogie arranged in the middle of the structure, seen in the longitudinal direction, and not adapted for mounting on bogies arranged at the end of the structure and in common with the respective neighboring structures (Jacobs bogies).

    [0006] In order to satisfy the axle load requirement of the multiple unit vehicles, the 4-point suspension bolster-free articulated bogie can be used, that is, articulated traction devices are used and the vehicle body is carried by four air springs. At the same time, the conventional underframe structure cannot suit the installation and connection of the new bogie, therefore it is urgent to develop a new end structure of vehicle body underframe.

    Summary of the invention



    [0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, providing an end structure of articulated multiple unit vehicle body underframe that can be mounted and connected with a 4-point suspension bolster-free articulated bogie.

    [0010] In the above solution, the inside of the traction beam is provided with a second traction beam cavity and a first traction beam cavity from top to bottom; the second traction beam cavities at the passenger compartment passage area are all removed, thus a U-shaped gap with a U-shaped cross section is formed at a top portion of the first traction beam cavity, the side floor is located behind the bolster beam, and it is aligned with the lower surface of the second traction beam cavity, so that the upper surface of the traction beam, the upper surface of the bolster beam and the upper surface of the side beam at the vehicle end connection area are all aligned, and an upper surface of the passenger compartment passage area is lower than an upper surface of the vehicle end connection area.

    [0011] In the above solution, the bottom of the first traction beam cavity is provided with a vertical plate connector connected to the hinge support structure, so that the weld seam of the important force transmitting portion will not appear at rigidity abrupt change position.

    [0012] In the above solution, the first traction beam cavity is machined with an L-shaped gap with an L shape in the cross-sectional direction.

    [0013] In the above solution, the hinge support structure is assembly welded by an intermediate floor located at the middle of the upper surface of the hinge support structure, a connecting floor located at both sides of the upper surface of the hinge support structure, a supporting vertical plate located under the intermediate floor and the connecting floor, and a supporting cover plate located at the lower surface of the hinge support structure.

    [0014] In the above solution, a connecting plane of the hinge seat and the hinge device mounting hole (11) in the connecting plane of the hinge seat and the mounting plane of the bolster beam and the air spring mounting hole (31) in the mounting plane are holistically machined after the frame structure having the shape of three same rectangles arranged side-by-side and the side floor are assembly welded, to reduce negative influence on perpendicularity of the welding deformation to the mounting plane of the hinge seat and the ground, and reduce negative influence on parallelism between the bolster beam mounting plane and the side floor.

    [0015] In the above solution, the middle portion of the side beam of the end structure of articulated multiple unit vehicle body underframe is machined with a side beam cavity gap, so as to ensure that the bogie frame and the wheelset have sufficient working space during the vehicle operating..

    [0016] In the above solution, a cavity boss is arranged between the partition wall and the hinge support structure for transitioning the longitudinal impact force of the hinge support structure, and the cavity can provide a connection space and a passage space for brake pipe and cable line.

    [0017] In the above solution, transitional ribs are provided at the joint of the side beam and the partition wall under the frame structure, and at the joint of the traction beam and the bolster beam, so that the rigidity of the end structure of the underframe is more coordinated.

    [0018] In the above solution, the upper surface of the side beam lower cavity of the side beam is aligned with the lower surface of the bolster beam, and the upper surface of the second traction beam cavity of the traction beam is aligned with the upper surface of the bolster beam, so that the upper surface of the passenger compartment passage area is lower than the upper surface of the vehicle end connection area.

    [0019] In the above solution, the lower height of the hinge support structure is lower than the height of at least one row of hinge mounting holes in the hinge seat to facilitate the installation of the hinge device.

    [0020] In the above solution, a vertical plate connector provided horizontally and a vertical plate connector provided vertically are protruded below the traction beam, the vertical plate connector provided horizontally is connected with a connecting floor of the hinge support structure, and the vertical plate connector provided vertically is connected with a support vertical plate of the hinge support structure. The length of the vertical plate connectors are at least 30 mm, so that the weld seam of the important force transmitting portion will not appear at rigidity abrupt change position. The intermediate floor of the hinge support structure and the connecting floor are arranged in a non-integral structure, thereby providing a welding space for the connecting floor and the supporting cover plate, the structure is assembly welded after the welding of the connecting floor and the support cover is completed.

    [0021] In the present invention, the hinge seat and the bolster beam at the vehicle end connection area are used for connecting the bogie; the upper part of the hinge seat is connected with the traction beam, and the hinge support structure is arranged below the traction beam and behind the hinge seat to resist the large longitudinal impact force of the running vehicle; the bolster beam is located between the side beam and the traction beam for connecting the air spring, and transmits the external force on the hinge seat to the side beam; the traction beam, the hinge support structure and the side beam are all connected to the rear partition wall, and form a frame structure having a shape of three same rectangles arranged side-by-side, so that the overall bearing performance is good, which lays a good foundation for the body strength to meet the EN12663 standard to resist a compression force of 1500kN.

    [0022] The upper surface of the passenger compartment passage area is slightly lower than the upper surface of the vehicle end connection area. By connecting the lower surface of the traction beam to the intermediate floor, and connecting the upper surface to the floor on both sides, the cross-section of the vehicle body is designed to be a concave shape structure, which not only provides an intermediate passage in the vehicle and a plane for installing equipment such as seats, but also meets the working space requirements of the bogie under the vehicle, making full use of limited space and maintaining strength.

    [0023] Profiles of the bolster beam, the traction beam, the side beam and the partition wall are all large-section hollow structure, wherein a redundant cavity is arranged under the side beam profile and the traction beam profile, and the cavity is partially milled out in the working area of the bogie, while the rest of the profile still has sufficient strength and functional integrity; the span of the rib in the middle of the bolster beam profile is large enough to be used to mount the plug structure of the air spring; the partition wall profile is provided with a boss structure for transit the longitudinal impact force of the hinge support structure, and provides a connection space for the brake pipe and the cable at the same time.

    [0024] The aluminum alloy end structure of the vehicle body underframe in the present invention can meet the installation requirements of the 4-point suspension articulated bogie. The biggest advantage of using the hinge structure is to reduce the use of the bogie, and reduce the weight of the whole vehicle and the running resistance of the vehicle at the same time, and significant improve the curve passing performance of the vehicle.

    [0025] The vehicle body in the present invention has good strength performance, meets the requirements that the hinge seat area can withstand 1500 kN of longitudinal compression force; providing a lower height intermediate passage, which provides great convenience for passengers, and is particularly suitable for passenger vehicles which has lower floor in some areas.

    [0026] In addition, the end structure of underframe of the present invention has a high degree of modularity and good processability, and is suitable for mass production.
