TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This application relates to a rail vehicle running technology, and in particular,
to a bogie and a rail vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Rail vehicles are an important transportation link connecting cities, and have gradually
become the main means of transportation in cities. Rail vehicles are also the main
carrier for cargo transportation. The rail vehicle mainly includes: a vehicle body
and a bogie arranged under the vehicle body. The bogie is configured to carry the
vehicle body and enable the functions of running and steering.
[0003] A traditional bogie mainly includes: a frame, wheel sets, a traction device, braking
devices and buffer devices. A powered bogie also includes driving devices. The frame
functions as a main frame of the bogie, and the other parts are associated with the
frame. The frame is usually of an "H"-shaped structure consisting of two parallel
side beams and a cross beam connected between middle parts of the two side beams.
The frame itself is manufactured as a whole, and in the subsequent process of assembling
other parts, the frame is also hoisted as a whole. Because the frame has a large overall
size and a relatively heavy weight, its hoisting process is onerous, and after the
frame is hoisted in place, the process of alignment is also relatively difficult.
For this reason, the assembly of the traditional bogie is difficult, and it requires
a lot of manpower and material resources and takes a long time.
SUMMARY
[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a bogie and a rail vehicle, which can reduce
the assembly difficulty of the bogie.
[0005] An embodiment of a first aspect of this application provides a bogie, including:
two wheel sets arranged in parallel, the wheel set including an axle and two wheels
symmetrically arranged on the axle;
two side beams spanning over the two wheel sets, the two side beams being parallel
with each other;
axle boxes arranged on the wheel sets, located under the side beams, and configured
to support the side beams;
two connection bases each arranged at a middle part of one side beam; and
a traction device connected between the two connection bases, the traction device
being further configured to be connected to a vehicle body.
[0006] An embodiment of a second aspect of the present application provides a rail vehicle,
including: the bogie as described above.
[0007] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of this application, two independent
side beams span over the two wheel sets, the two side beams are parallel to each other,
and ends of the side beams are located above the axle boxes and supported by the axle
boxes; one connection base is arranged at the middle part of each side beam, and the
traction device is connected between the two connection bases to provide a traction
or braking force for the vehicle body. Since the two side beams are independent, the
advantages of small size, light weight and low manufacturing difficulty are achieved.
In the subsequent assembly process with other parts, the side beams can be hoisted
easily and conveniently, which can simplify the operation of alignment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the exemplary
embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference
to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part,
not exhaustive of all embodiments of this application. It should be noted that embodiments
in this application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each
other without conflict.
First embodiment
[0011] This embodiment provides a bogie which can be applied to a rail vehicle. The rail
vehicle may be a diesel locomotive or an electric locomotive, and may be an EMU, a
subway train, a light-rail train, a tramcar, or the like.
[0012] FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a bogie according to the first embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 2 is a top view of the bogie according to the first
embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bogie according to
this embodiment includes wheel sets, side beams, axle boxes, connection bases, a traction
device, or the like.
[0013] Wherein, two wheel sets are provided and arranged in parallel. The wheel set includes
an axle 11 and wheels 12, and two wheels 12 are provided and symmetrically arranged
on the axle. The axle 11 is connected with the wheels 12, and rotation of the axle
11 can drive the wheels 12 to rotate synchronously. Two axle boxes 13 are provided
and symmetrically arranged on the axle 11. A bearing is arranged between the axle
box 13 and the axle 11, so that the axle 11 can rotate relative to the axle box 13.
In this embodiment, a direction of a centerline of the axle 11 is referred to as a
lateral direction, a direction in which the rail vehicle travels is referred to as
a longitudinal direction, and a direction which is perpendicular to a horizontal plane
is referred to as a vertical direction.
[0014] Two side beams 2 are provided and independent of each other. The two side beams are
parallel, extend in the longitudinal direction, and respectively span over the two
wheel sets. Two ends of the side beam 2 are located above the axle box 13, and the
axle box 13 is configured to support the side beam 2.
[0015] One connection base 3 is arranged at the middle part of each side beam 2, the traction
device 4 is connected between the two connection bases 3, and a top of the traction
device 4 is further configured to be connected to a vehicle body. The traction device
4 is configured to transmit a traction force or braking force to the vehicle body.
A buffer device may be arranged between the connection base 3 and the vehicle body
and configured to support the vehicle body and transmit a vertical force.
[0016] If the bogie is provided with driving devices, the bogie is regarded as a powered
bogie; if without a driving device, the bogie is regarded as a non-powered bogie.
The bogie may further be provided with braking devices for clamping the wheels 12
to carry out braking in a braking state.
[0017] The transmission path of the vertical force of the bogie is: vehicle body-connection
base-side beam-axle box-axle-wheel-track. The transmission path of a lateral force
is: vehicle body-connection base and side beam-axle box-axle-wheel-track, and vehicle
body-traction device-connection base and side beam-axle box-axle-track. The transmission
path of the braking force is: braking device-wheel-axle-axle box-connection base and
side beam-traction device-vehicle body. The transmission path of the longitudinal
force (traction force) of the powered bogie is: driving device-axle-axle box-connection
base and side beam-traction device-vehicle body.
[0018] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, two independent side beams
span over the two wheel sets, the two side beams are parallel to each other, and ends
of the side beams are located above the axle boxes and supported by the axle boxes;
one connection base is arranged at the middle part of each side beam, and the traction
device is connected between the two connection bases to provide the traction force
or braking force for the vehicle body. Since the two side beams are independent, the
advantages of small size, light weight and low manufacturing difficulty are achieved.
In the subsequent assembly process with other parts, the bogie can be hoisted easily
and conveniently, which can simplify the operation of alignment.
[0019] The connection base 3 can be provided with corresponding connecting openings for
connection with a driving device 5 and a braking device 6. The bogie may further be
provided with structures, such as a lateral damper, a vertical damper, an anti-yaw
damper, and an anti-roll torsion bar, all of which can be connected to the connection
base 3.
[0020] A primary suspension device 7 may be arranged between the side beam 2 and the axle
box 13 to buffer the vertical force between the side beam 2 and the axle box 13. A
secondary suspension device 8 may be arranged on the connection base 3 to support
the vehicle body and also to buffer the vertical force between the vehicle body and
the connection base 3.
Second embodiment
[0021] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of a bogie.
[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bogie according to this embodiment includes two mutually
independent side beams 2, and the two side beams 2 are parallel and extend in the
longitudinal direction. The axle box 13 is located at an inner side of the wheel 12
and is close to the wheel 12. An end of the side beam 2 is connected to the axle box
13 through the primary suspension device 7, and the primary suspension device 7 functions
to support the side beam 2 and buffer a vertical force.
[0023] One connection base 3 is arranged at the middle part of each side beam 2, and a secondary
suspension device 8 is arranged at the top of the connection base 3. The secondary
suspension device 8 is connected to the vehicle body at the top and functions to support
the vehicle body and buffer the vertical force.
[0024] The traction device 4 is connected between the two connection bases 3 and configured
to transmit a lateral force. The traction device 4 is connected with the vehicle body
at the top and configured to transmit a traction force or braking force to the vehicle
body.
[0025] An outer surface of the connection base 3 is provided with brake mounting bases for
mounting the braking devices 6. A braking unit in the braking device 6 extends to
two sides of the wheel 12 and clamps the wheel 12 to carry out braking in a braking
state.
[0026] The outer surface of the connection base 3 is provided with a damper mounting portion
324 for connecting an anti-yaw damper 91, an anti-roll torsion bar 92 and a vertical
damper 93.
[0027] A detailed description of each part in the bogie is provided as follows.
[0028] First, the implementation of the connection base 3 will be described in detail. FIG.
3 is an outside schematic diagram of the connection base according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 4 is an inside schematic diagram of the connection base
according to the second embodiment of this application. FIG. 3 is obtained from the
view angle of the outside of the bogie, and FIG. 4 is obtained from the view angle
of the inside of the bogie. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connection base 3 is of
a box-shaped structure and is transparent in its longitudinal direction.
[0029] FIG. 5 is an outside schematic diagram of an assembly of the side beam and the connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 6 is an inside
schematic diagram of the assembly of the side beam and the connection base according
to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the side
beam 2 passes through the connection base 3, and the top inner surface of the connection
base 3 and a second beam plate 22 come into contact and assembled.
[0030] The connection base 3 can be of an integral structure, or can be an assembly of several
parts. This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the connection base 3.
FIG. 7 is an exploded view of the connection base according to the second embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 7, the connection base 3 mainly includes a first
base body 31 and a second base body 32. The second base body 32 is located above the
first base body 31 and connected with the first base body 31 to form the box-shaped
structure. The first base body 31 and the second base body 32 define a passage through
which the side beam 2 can pass.
[0031] Specifically, the second base body 32 mainly includes: a base body top plate 321,
a second base body inner side plate 322, and a second base body outer side plate 323.
The base body top plate 321 is parallel to the horizontal plane and is generally rectangular;
in other words, the base body top plate 321 has four edges. An edge of the base body
top plate 321 at a side facing the traction device is referred to as a lateral inner
edge, and an edge at a side away from the traction device is referred to as a lateral
outer edge.
[0032] The second base body inner side plate 322 is perpendicular to the lateral direction,
and the top thereof is connected to the lateral inner edge of the base body top plate
321. The second base body outer side plate 323 is perpendicular to the lateral direction,
and the top thereof is connected to the lateral outer edge of the base body top plate
321. A lateral distance between the second base body inner side plate 322 and the
second base body outer side plate 323 is greater than a lateral width of the middle
part of the side beam 2, so that the side beam 2 can pass through a gap between the
second base body inner side plate 322 and the second base body outer side plate 323.
[0033] The first base body 31 mainly includes: a base body bottom plate 311 and base body
connecting parts 312. The base body bottom plate 311 is substantially parallel to
the horizontal direction, and is substantially rectangular. A bottom end of the base
body connecting part 312 is connected to the base body bottom plate 311 and a top
end of the base body connecting part 312 is configured to be connected with the second
base body 32. Specifically, four base body connecting parts 312 are provided and symmetrically
arranged pairwise on inner and outer edges of the base body bottom plate 311 and are
close to top corners.
[0034] A distance between inner surfaces of the two base body connecting parts 312 symmetrically
arranged on inner and outer sides is greater than the distance between outer surfaces
of the above-mentioned second base body inner side plate 322 and second base body
outer side plate 323, so that the second base body inner side plate 322 and the second
base body outer side plate 323 can be inserted between the two base body connecting
parts 312 symmetrically arranged on the inner and outer sides.
[0035] Connection between the first base body 31 and the second base body 32 may be implemented
by means of welding, bolting, or the like. In this embodiment, the connection is implemented
by means of bolting, or the like. Specifically, bolt holes are respectively formed
in the second base body inner side plate 322 and the second base body outer side plate
323, and bolt holes are correspondingly formed in the base body connecting parts 312.
A base body connecting bolt 331 passes through the bolt hole in the base body connecting
part 312 and the bolt hole in the second base body inner side plate 322 (or the second
base body outer side plate 323) in sequence, and is then fixed with a base body connecting
nut 332, referring to an assembly centerline in FIG. 7.
[0036] In the case of connection by virtue of the above-mentioned base body connecting bolt
331, a necessary number of base body connecting gaskets 333 can be appropriately arranged
to meet the assembly requirements and reach the assembly standard.
[0037] The first base body 31 may be appropriately provided with a base body weight reduction
hole 313 to reduce the weight of the connection base 3, which facilitates reduction
of the weight of the entire bogie.
[0038] Next, the implementation of the side beam 2 will be described in detail. FIG. 8 is
a schematic structural diagram of the side beam according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 9 is a two-dimensional side view of the side beam according
to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 8 and 9, the
side beam 2 is of a double-layer plate structure; that is, the side beam 2 includes
a first beam plate 21, a second beam plate 22, and a beam plate buffer 23. The first
beam plate 21 and the second beam plate 22 are arranged in sequence along the vertical
direction, and the second beam plate 22 is located above the first beam plate 21.
A predetermined distance is set between the first beam plate 21 and the second beam
plate 22. The beam plate buffer 23 is located between the first beam plate 21 and
the second beam plate 22 at the middle part of the first beam plate 21.
[0039] Using the beam plate buffer 23 can buffer a vertical force between the first beam
plate 21 and the second beam plate 22. The side beam 2 of this structure can improve
the vertical buffering effect, so that the vehicle body has less vibration and better
riding comfort. Alternatively, the primary suspension device 7 in the traditional
bogie can also be omitted, and a better buffering effect can be achieved by using
the above-mentioned side beam 2.
[0040] This embodiment provides an implementation of the beam plate buffer 23 as follows.
The beam plate buffer 23 can be made of a material with certain elasticity. For example,
the beam plate buffer 23 is configured as a plate-shaped rubber part and matches the
first beam plate 21 in shape; a lateral width of the beam plate buffer 23 matches
a middle width of the first beam plate 21, and the thickness and density of the beam
plate buffer 23 determine the buffering effect. An upper surface of the beam plate
buffer 23 is closely attached to the second beam plate 22, and a lower surface of
the beam plate buffer 23 is closely attached to the first beam plate 21.
[0041] When the vehicle body is unloaded, the beam plate buffer 23 reaches a maximum thickness;
in other words, the distance between the first beam plate 21 and the second beam plate
22 reaches a maximum value. When the vehicle body is loaded, the beam plate buffer
23 is compressed by the vertical force, and then, the second beam plate 22 moves downward
accordingly. The distance between the second beam plate 22 and the first beam plate
21 decreases as the load of the vehicle body increases until an elastic limit of the
beam plate buffer 23 is reached, and then, the distance between the second beam plate
22 and the first beam plate 21 is also reduced to a minimum limit. By using the above-mentioned
way of matching the beam plate buffer 23 with the side beam, the side beam has multi-level
rigidity in the vertical direction, which can adapt to different loads of the vehicle
body and achieve a better buffering effect.
[0042] When the rail vehicle runs, the vibration of the wheel 12 is transmitted to the vehicle
body through the axle 11, the axle box 13, the first beam plate 21, the beam plate
buffer 23, the second beam plate 22, the connection base 3, and the secondary suspension
device 8 in sequence. The beam plate buffer 23 can buffer the vibration, thereby reducing
the vibration of the vehicle body and improving the riding comfort.
[0043] FIG. 10 is an exploded view of an assembly form of the side beam and the connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional
view of the assembly form of the side beam and the connection base according to the
second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the second base
body inner side plate 322 and the second base body outer side plate 323 in the second
base body 32 respectively extend downward from two sides of the side beam 2 to be
connected with the base body connecting part 312 in the first base body 31, so that
the side beam 2 is limited within an area defined by the first base body 31 and the
second base body 32.
[0044] This embodiment provides another implementation of the beam plate buffer 23 as follows.
[0045] FIG. 12 is an exploded view of another assembly form of the side beam and the connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 13 is a first cross-sectional
view of another assembly form of the side beam and the connection base according to
the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 14 is a second cross-sectional
view of another assembly form of the side beam and the connection base according to
the second embodiment of this application. The first base body 31 in the connection
base 3 is omitted in FIG. 12. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the beam plate buffer 23
can be made of a metal material or another rigid material with higher hardness, and
is connected to the connection base 3. The size and shape of the beam plate buffer
23 can be set according to the shape of the middle part of the side beam 2.
[0046] The connection between the beam plate buffer 23 and the connection base 3 may be
implemented by means of welding, bolting, clamping, riveting, or the like. In this
embodiment, screw connection is adopted. Specifically, bolt holes are correspondingly
formed in the second base body inner side plate 322 and the second base body outer
side plate 323, and threaded hole s are respectively formed in two lateral end surfaces
of the beam plate buffer 23. A buffer connecting bolt 334 is used to pass through
the bolt hole in the second base body inner side plate 322 (or the second base body
outer side plate 323) and is then screwed into the threaded hole of the beam plate
buffer 23 for fixing, referring to an assembly centerline in FIG. 12.
[0047] The connection position of the beam plate buffer 23 on the connection base 3 can
be set according to the thickness of the second beam plate 22, and the thickness of
the beam plate buffer 23 can be set according to the distance between the first beam
plate 21 and the second beam plate 22. The upper surface of the beam plate buffer
23 is always in contact with the lower surface of the second beam plate 22 without
a gap therebetween. When the vehicle body load borne by the bogie is a first load,
a first buffer gap 231 is formed between the lower surface of the beam plate buffer
23 and the upper surface of the first beam plate 21. When the first load is zero,
the vertical height of the first buffer gap 231 reaches the maximum, referring to
FIG. 13. When the load of the vehicle body gradually increases, a vertical pressure
applied to the connection base 3 and the second beam plate 22 gradually increases,
the connection base 3, the second beam plate 22 and the beam plate buffer 23 move
downward together, and the vertical height of the first buffer gap 231 gradually decreases.
When the vehicle body load borne by the bogie is a second load, the beam plate buffer
23 descends to come into contact with the first beam plate 21. The second load is
greater than the first load. As the load of the vehicle body gradually increases,
the beam plate buffer 23 gradually moves downward to come into contact with the first
beam plate 21, referring to FIG. 14. By using the above-mentioned way of matching
the beam plate buffer 23 with the side beam, the side beam has multi-level rigidity
in the vertical direction, which can adapt to different loads of the vehicle body
and achieve a better buffering effect.
[0048] Further, the first beam plate 21 and the second beam plate 22 can also be made of
a carbon fiber, a glass fiber and other fiber materials as a plate-shaped structure,
thereby achieving better elastic deformation. In this embodiment, the first beam plate
21 and the second beam plate 22 are both carbon fiber plates. When the load of the
vehicle body continues to increase, the first beam plate 21 and the second beam plate
22 can elastically deform themselves, thus further improving the buffering effect.
Moreover, the side beam made of the fiber material is light in weight, which is beneficial
to reducing the weight of the bogie.
[0049] In terms of the lateral width, the first beam plate 21 is wide in the middle and
narrow at two ends, and in terms of the vertical thickness, the first beam plate 21
is thick in the middle and thin at two ends. The middle part of the first beam plate
21 is recessed downward to form a fish belly shape, which improves the strength of
the middle part. In terms of the lateral width, the second beam plate 22 is wide in
the middle and narrow at two ends, and in term s of the vertical thickness, the second
beam plate 22 is thick in the middle and thin at two ends. The middle part of the
second beam plate 21 is recessed downward to form a fish belly shape, which improves
the strength of the middle part.
[0050] The above-mentioned side beam 2 and the connection base 3 can be assembled in various
ways. The side beam 2 and the connection base 3 can be fixedly connected or can be
movably connected. This embodiment provides a specific connection manner: as shown
in FIGS. 8, 9, 10 and 12, the upper surface of the second beam plate 22 is provided
with a side beam connecting pin 24 extending upward. As shown in FIGS. 3 , 4 and 7,
a side beam connecting hole 3211 is correspondingly formed at the top of the connection
base 3 (specifically, in the base body top plate 321). The side beam connecting pin
24 passes upward through the side beam connecting hole 3211 to limit the horizontal
movement of the side beam 2, referring to FIGS. 6, 11, 13 and 14.
[0051] The connection between the secondary suspension device 8 and the connection base
3 can be set as follows on the basis of the above-mentioned implementation. A secondary
connecting hole is formed at the bottom of the secondary suspension device 8. The
above-mentioned side beam connecting pin 24 passes upward through the connection base
3 and is inserted into the secondary connecting hole to limit the horizontal movement
of the secondary suspension device 8, referring to FIGS. 5, 10, 11, 13 and 14. In
FIGS. 13 and 14, the structure of the secondary suspension device 8 is simplified
in order to highlight the connection relationship of various parts.
[0052] The bottom end of the side beam connecting pin 24 can be fixed on the upper surface
of the second beam plate 22, and the top end of the side beam connecting pin 24 is
a free end.
[0053] Alternatively, both the top and bottom ends of the side beam connecting pin 24 are
movable ends. A blind hole is formed in the side beam 2, the bottom end of the side
beam connecting pin 24 is inserted into the blind hole, and the top end of the side
beam connecting pin 24 passes upward through the connection base 3, and is then inserted
into the secondary suspension device 8.
[0054] Alternatively, the top end of the side beam connecting pin 24 is fixed to the bottom
end of the secondary suspension device 8, and the bottom end of the side beam connecting
pin 24 passes downward through the connection base 3 and is then inserted into the
blind hole formed in the side beam 2.
[0055] Alternatively, in the connection base 3, the upper and lower surfaces of the base
body top plate 321 are each provided with a connecting pin; the connecting pin arranged
on the upper surface is inserted upward into the secondary suspension device 8, and
the connecting pin arranged on the lower surface is inserted downward into the blind
hole in the side beam 2.
[0056] The above-mentioned secondary suspension device 8 may be configured as a structure
commonly used in the field, such as a steel spring, an air spring, a rubber pile,
or the like, or may also adopt the structure of this embodiment. FIG. 15 is a schematic
structural diagram of the secondary suspension device according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the secondary suspension
device according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 5,
10, 11, 15, and 16, the secondary suspension device 8 includes: secondary rigid support
layers 81 and secondary elastic buffer layers 82 that are alternately stacked, and
the secondary rigid support layers 81 are located at the outermost sides. The secondary
rigid support layer 81 at the top end is in contact with the vehicle body, and the
secondary rigid support layer 81 at the bottom end is in contact with the connection
base 3. The secondary rigid support layer 81 can be made of a rigid material and mainly
plays a supporting role to keep the overall shape of the secondary suspension device
8 basically unchanged. The secondary elastic buffer layer 82 can be made of an elastic
material and can be elastically deformed to buffer the vertical force between the
vehicle body and the connection base. For example, the secondary rigid support layer
81 can be made of a metal material as a metal layer, and the secondary elastic buffer
layer 82 can be made of rubber as a rubber layer. The secondary rigid support layers
81 and the secondary elastic buffer layers 82 are fixed into a whole by means of vulcanization.
[0057] Specifically, three secondary rigid support layers 81 are provided, and the three
secondary rigid support layers 81 are arranged in parallel. Two secondary elastic
buffer layers 82 are provided and respectively arranged between adjacent secondary
rigid support layers 81. A cross-sectional area of the secondary elastic buffer layer
82 gradually decreases along a direction from the secondary rigid support layer 81
on the outer side to the secondary rigid support layer 81 on the inner side. From
the figures, the secondary elastic buffer layer 82 is bowl-shaped, and the combination
of the two secondary elastic buffer layers 82 forms an hourglass-shaped structure.
[0058] The secondary connecting hole 83 is formed in the secondary rigid support layer 81
at the bottom and extends into the secondary elastic buffer layer 82 below, so that
the side beam connecting pin 24 can be inserted.
[0059] The implementation of the primary suspension device 7 will be described in detail
as follows.
[0060] The primary suspension device 7 is arranged between the axle box 13 and the side
beam 2, and may adopt an existing structure in the art, such as a steel spring, a
rubber spring, or the like, or may also adopt the following implementations.
[0061] FIG. 17 is a schematic structural diagram of the primary suspension device according
to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of
the primary suspension device according to the second embodiment of this application;
FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of an assembly of the primary suspension device
and the side beam according to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 20
is an enlarged view of area A in FIG. 19; and FIG. 21 is an exploded view of the assembly
of the primary suspension device and the side beam according to the second embodiment
of this application.
[0062] As shown in FIGS. 17 to 21, the primary suspension device 7 includes two parts: a
first suspension assembly 71 and a second suspension assembly 72. The first suspension
assembly 71 is arranged between the first beam plate 21 and the second beam plate
22 to support the second beam plate 22 and to buffer the vertical force between the
first beam plate 21 and the second beam plate 22. The second suspension assembly 71
is arranged between the first beam plate 21 and the axle box 13 to support the first
beam plate 21 and to buffer the vertical force between the first beam plate 21 and
the axle box 13.
[0063] The first suspension assembly 71 and the second suspension assembly 72 may adopt
structures with certain elasticity, such as springs, rubber members, or the like.
Alternatively, the following implementation of this embodiment may be adopted.
[0064] The first suspension assembly 71 includes: primary rigid support layers 701 and primary
elastic buffer layers 702 that are alternately stacked. The primary rigid support
layers 701 are located at the outermost sides. The primary rigid support layer 701
at the top end is in contact with the second beam plate 22, and the primary rigid
support layer 701 at the bottom end is in contact with the first beam plate 21. The
primary rigid support layer 701 can be made of a rigid material and mainly plays a
supporting role to keep the overall shape of the first suspension assembly 71 basically
unchanged. The primary elastic buffer layer 702 can be made of an elastic material
and can be elastically deformed to buffer the vertical force between the first beam
plate 21 and the second beam plate 22. For example, the primary rigid support layer
701 can be made of a metal material as a metal layer, and the primary elastic buffer
layer 702 can be made of rubber as a rubber layer. The primary rigid support layers
701 and the primary elastic buffer layers 702 are fixed into a whole by means of vulcanization.
[0065] A primary positioning hole 703 is formed in each of the two primary rigid support
layers 701 at the outermost sides. Primary positioning pins 25 correspondingly inserted
in the primary positioning holes are correspondingly arranged on the bottom surface
of the second beam plate 22 and on the top surface of the first beam plate 21. Positioning
is achieved by inserting the primary positioning pins 25 into the primary positioning
holes 703, thereby avoiding the movement of each beam plate relative to the first
suspension assembly 71 in the lateral or longitudinal direction.
[0066] Specifically, the first suspension assembly 71 includes three primary rigid support
layers 701 and two primary elastic buffer layers 702. The three primary rigid support
layers 701 are parallel, and the two primary elastic buffer layers 702 are respectively
arranged between adjacent primary rigid support layers 701. The primary rigid support
layer 701 at the top is provided with the primary positioning hole 703 for inserting
the primary positioning pin 25 arranged on the bottom surface of the second beam plate
22. The primary rigid support layer 701 at the bottom is provided with the primary
positioning hole 703 for inserting the primary positioning pin 25 arranged on the
top surface of the first beam plate 21, so that the first suspension assembly 71 will
not move relative to the side beam 2 in the horizontal direction.
[0067] The second suspension assembly 72 includes: two primary rigid support base layers
704, as well as primary rigid support layers 701 and primary elastic buffer layers
702 that are located between the two primary rigid support base layers 704 and alternately
stacked. The primary elastic buffer layers 702 are in contact with the primary rigid
support base layers 704. The implementation of the primary rigid support layer 701
and the primary elastic buffer layer 702 in the second suspension assembly 72 may
refer to the implementation of the corresponding structures in the first suspension
assembly 71 described above. The primary rigid support base layer 704 is also made
of a rigid material for supporting and shape keeping. For example, the primary rigid
support base layer 704 is made of a metal material as a metal layer. The primary rigid
support bas e layers 704, together with the primary rigid support layers 701 and the
primary elastic buffer layers 702, are formed as an integral structure by means of
vulcanization.
[0068] Each of the two primary rigid support base layers 704 is provided with a primary
positioning hole 703. Primary positioning pins 25 correspondingly inserted in the
primary positioning holes 703 are correspondingly arranged on the bottom surface of
the first beam plate 21 and at the top of the axle box 13.
[0069] Specifically, the two primary rigid support base layers 704 are parallel and located
at the outermost sides. Three primary rigid support layers 701 and four primary elastic
buffer layers 702 are provided, and the primary rigid support layers 701 and the primary
elastic buffer layers 702 are alternately stacked. The primary elastic buffer layer
702 is adjacent to the primary rigid support base layer 704. The primary rigid support
base layer 704 at the top is provided with the primary positioning hole 703 for inserting
the primary positioning pin 25 arranged on the bottom surface of the first beam plate
21. The primary rigid support base layer 704 at the bottom is also provided with the
primary positioning hole 703 for inserting the primary positioning pin 25 arranged
at the top of the axle box 13, so that the second suspension assembly 72 will not
move relative to the side beam 2 and the axle box 13 in the horizontal direction.
[0070] The thickness of the primary rigid support layer 701 is less than that of the primary
elastic buffer layer 702, and the thickness of the primary rigid support base layer
704 is between the thicknesses of the primary rigid support layer 701 and the primary
elastic buffer layer 702.
[0071] The above-mentioned primary suspension device 7, the side beam 2 and the axle box
13 can also be assembled in other ways. For example, positioning holes are formed
in the side beam 2 and the axle box 13, and positioning pins are correspondingly arranged
on the primary suspension device 7 and inserted into the positioning holes in the
side beam 2 and the axle box 13 respectively.
[0072] Those skilled in the art can also make appropriate improvements to the above-mentioned
primary suspension device 7, so that the primary suspension device 7 can be applied
to different types of bogies.
[0073] The implementation of the traction device 4 is described in detail as follows.
[0074] The traction device 4 is connected between the two connection bases 3, and the top
end of the traction device 4 is also connected with the vehicle body to provide a
traction force or braking force for the vehicle body.
[0075] This embodiment provides an implementation of the traction device 4 as follows.
[0076] FIG. 22 is a schematic structural diagram of an assembly of the traction device with
the connection base and the side beam according to the second embodiment of this application;
FIG. 23 is a schematic structural diagram of the traction device according to the
second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 24 is an exploded view of the traction
device according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 22
to 24, the traction device includes: a traction beam 41, a traction pin 42 and traction
buffers 43. Two ends of the traction beam 41 are respectively connected with the connection
bases 3 at the corresponding ends. A top end of the traction pin 42 is connected with
the vehicle body, a bottom end of the traction pin 42 is in an assembled relationship
with the traction beam 41, and the traction buffers 43 are arranged between the traction
beam 41 and the traction pin 42.
[0077] The traction pin 42 can refer to the structure commonly used in the prior art. The
top end of the traction pin 42 is connected to the vehicle body, and the bottom end
of the traction pin 42 is fitted with the traction beam 41, so that the longitudinal
force of the bogie can be transmitted to the traction pin 42 through the traction
beam 41, and then to the vehicle body.
[0078] In this embodiment, the top end of the traction pin 42 is provided with vehicle body
mounting portions 421, and the vehicle body mounting partion 421 is provided with
vehicle body connecting holes 422. The connection with the bottom of the vehicle body
is achieved by the vehicle body connecting holes 422 each fitted with a bolt. The
top end of the traction pin 42 extends in the longitudinal direction to form four
vehicle body mounting portions 421, and each vehicle body mounting portion 421 is
provided with two vehicle body connecting holes 422.
[0079] FIG. 25 is a schematic structural diagram of the traction beam in the traction device
according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25,
the traction beam 41 is of a frame-shaped structure. Frame edges parallel to the longitudinal
direction are referred to as longitudinal frames 411, and frame edges parallel to
the lateral direction are referred to as lateral frames 412. There is a smooth rounded
transition between the longitudinal frame 411 and the lateral frame 412, so that the
horizontal section of the traction beam 41 becomes a rounded rectangle. The traction
beam 41 is of a hollow box-shaped structure.
[0080] The bottom end of the traction pin 42 is located in an area surrounded by the traction
beam 41, and the traction buffers 43 are also arranged in this area between the traction
pin 42 and an inner wall of the traction beam 41. Specifically, two traction buffers
43 are provided and respectively arranged between the two longitudinal sides of the
traction pin 42 and the corresponding lateral frames 412. The traction buffer 43 can
buffer the longitudinal force between the traction beam 41 and the traction pin 42
to avoid direct rigid impact and friction between the traction beam 41 and the traction
pin 42.
[0081] The traction buffer 43 can adopt a structure commonly used in the prior art, or can
also adopt the structure shown in FIG. 24. As shown in FIG. 24, the traction buffer
43 includes: a surrounding baffle plate 431, a traction buffer assembly 432, and traction
buffer connecting bolts 434.
[0082] The surrounding baffle plate 431 is arranged around the outer side of the lower part
of the traction pin 42, and there is no gap between the surrounding baffle plate 431
and the traction pin 42. The surrounding baffle plate 431 is composed of four flat
baffle plates, and the surrounding baffle plate 431 can be matched with the bottom
of the traction pin 42 in shape; that is, the surrounding baffle plate 431 is of a
barrel structure with a rectangular horizontal section.
[0083] The traction buffer assembly 432 is arranged on a longitudinal end surface of the
surrounding baffle plate 431; that is, the traction buffer assembly 432 is located
between the surrounding baffle plate 431 and the lateral frame 412. The traction buffer
assembly 432 and the lateral frame 412 are fixed together with the traction buffer
connecting bolts 434. Specifically, a frame edge connecting hole 4121 is formed in
the lateral frame 412, and the centerline of the frame edge connecting hole 4121 extends
along the longitudinal direction. Bolt holes for the traction buffer connecting bolts
434 are correspondingly formed in the traction buffer assembly 432, and the traction
buffer connecting bolts 434 pass through the frame edge connecting holes 4121 and
the bolt holes in the traction buffer assembly 432 from the outside of the lateral
frame 412 in sequence, and are then connected to corresponding nuts to fix the traction
buffer assembly 432 on the lateral frame 412.
[0084] The traction buffer assembly 432 is in direct contact with the surrounding baffle
plate 431 and is located between the surrounding baffle plate 431 and the lateral
frame 412 to buffer the longitudinal force therebetween.
[0085] Further, the traction buffer 43 further includes: traction buffer adjusting gaskets
435 arranged between the traction buffer assembly 432 and the lateral frames 412.
There may be one, two, three or more traction buffer adjusting gaskets 435 for adjusting
the distance between the traction buffer assembly 432 and the lateral frame 412. Due
to the difference between the actual size and the design size of each part, a number
of traction buffer adjusting gaskets 435 are arranged between the lateral frame 412
and the traction buffer assembly 432, so that the distance between the traction buffer
43 and the traction pin 42 meets the design requirements. The number of the traction
buffer adjusting gaskets 435 can be set according to the distance between the traction
buffer assembly 432 and the lateral frame 412.
[0086] The traction buffer adjusting gasket 435 may be pre-connected between the traction
buffer assembly 432 and the lateral frame 412, or the traction buffer adjusting gasket
435 may be assembled after the entire traction buffer 43 is assembled. FIG. 26 is
an enlarged view of area B in FIG. 24. As shown in FIG. 26, in this embodiment, the
traction buffer adjusting gasket 435 is provided with gasket openings 4351 that can
accommodate the traction buffer connecting bolts 434. Two gasket openings 4351 are
provided and symmetrically distributed at two ends of the traction buffer adjusting
gasket 435. During application, the gasket openings 4351 are inserted downward between
the lateral frame 412 and the traction buffer assembly 432, and the traction buffer
connecting bolts 434 are accommodated in the gasket openings 4351 to limit the lateral
movement of the traction buffer adjusting gaskets 435.
[0087] The traction buffer assembly 432 functions to buffer the longitudinal force between
the surrounding baffle plate 431 and the lateral frame 412, and its elastic structure
can be made of a material with certain elasticity. This embodiment provides an implementation
of the traction buffer assembly 432 as follows. FIG. 27 is an exploded view of the
traction buffer assembly in the traction device according to the second embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 27, the traction buffer assembly 432 includes:
a first metal connector 4321, a rubber connector 4322, a second metal connector 4323,
and a third metal connector 4324 arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction.
[0088] The first metal connector 4321 is provided with bolt holes and can be connected to
the lateral frame 412 through the traction buffer connecting bolts 434. The second
metal connector 4323 and the third metal connector 4324 are correspondingly provided
with bolt holes and can be fixed together by bolts and come into contact with the
surrounding baffle plate 431. The rubber connector 4322 is located between the first
metal connector 4321 and the second metal connector 4323. The rubber connector 4322
is fixed to the first metal connector 4321 and the second metal connector 4323 by
means of vulcanization.
[0089] The connection between the traction device 4 and the connection base 3 can be implemented
as follows. As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, a traction connecting pin 44 is used to connect
the traction beam 41 and the connection base 3. Specifically, one end of the traction
connecting pin 44 is connected to the longitudinal frame 411 of the traction beam
41, for example, to the middle part of the longitudinal frame 411. The other end of
the traction connecting pin 44 is inserted into a traction beam mounting hole 34 (as
shown in FIG. 4) on the inner side of the connection base 3. The longitudinal force
is transferred between the connection base 3 and the traction device 4 by a longitudinal
acting force between the traction connecting pin 44 and the traction beam mounting
hole 34.
[0090] Further, the longitudinal frame 411 and the connection base 3 can also be connected
together by a traction connecting bolt 45, so that the relative position between the
longitudinal frame 411 and the connection base 3 can be kept fixed.
[0091] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, an inwardly protruding traction beam connecting
sleeve 3221 is arranged on the second base body inner side plate 322 of the connection
base 3, and provided therein with the traction beam mounting hole 34 having a centerline
extending in the lateral direction. The traction connecting bolt 45 is inserted into
the traction beam mounting hole 34.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 25, a traction bolt connecting hole 4111 is formed at the middle
part of the longitudinal frame 411 of the traction beam 41. Correspondingly, as shown
in FIGS. 28 and 29, an end of the traction beam connecting sleeve 3221 extends outward
to from a connecting flange 3222, and a bolt hole is formed in the connecting flange
3222 (the connecting flange is not shown in FIG. 4). The traction connecting bolt
45 passes through the longitudinal frame 411 and the connecting flange 4222 in sequence
and is then fitted with a corresponding traction connecting nut to achieve fixing.
[0093] The longitudinal frame 411 on one side is connected by four traction connecting bolts
45, and the connection is rigid connection; that is, the relative position between
the connection base 3 and the traction device 4 cannot be changed.
[0094] This embodiment also provides another connection method for implement flexible connection
between the connection base 3 and the traction device 4, thereby broadening the adaptability
of the bogie to various road surfaces. When a small vertical bulge or depression occurs
on a track, the wheel on the corresponding side travels on the bulge or depression,
thus driving the connection base 3 to bump up and down slightly. Due to the flexible
connection between the connection base 3 and the traction device 4, the slight movement
of the connection base 3 will not be transmitted to the traction device 4, so as to
ensure that the vertical height of the traction device 4 remains basically unchanged,
thereby improving the stability of the vehicle body and the riding comfort.
[0095] FIG. 30 is an exploded view of another assembly form of the traction device and the
connection base according to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 31 is
a cross-sectional view of the other assembly form of the traction device and the connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 32 is an enlarged
view of area D in FIG. 31. As shown in FIGS. 23, 30 to 32, a traction buffer connecting
sleeve 46 is fitted over the traction connecting pin 44 and pressed between the traction
connecting pin 44 and the inner wall of the traction beam mounting hole 34 in the
connection base 3. In this way, the longitudinal force can be transmitted between
the connection base 3 and the traction device 4 and the lateral relative position
between the connection base 3 and the traction device 4 can also be fixed. In addition,
the traction buffer connecting sleeve 46 itself can elastically deform in a direction
of 360°, so that the flexible connection between the connection base 3 and the traction
device 4 is achieved and the connection base 3 and the traction device 4 can rotate
relative to each other at a certain angle.
[0096] FIG. 33 is a schematic structural diagram of the traction buffer connecting sleeve
in the traction device according to the second embodiment of this application. As
shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, the traction buffer connecting sleeve 46 may specifically
include: an outer traction buffer sleeve 461, an inner traction buffer sleeve 462
and a middle traction buffer sleeve 463. The middle traction buffer sleeve 463 is
fixedly connected between the outer traction buffer sleeve 461 and the inner traction
buffer sleeve 462. The outer traction buffer sleeve 461 is configured for interference
fit with the traction beam mounting hole 34 and the inner traction buffer sleeve 462
is configured for interference fit with the traction connecting pin 44, so that the
entire traction buffer connecting sleeve 46 is fixed between the traction beam mounting
hole 34 and the traction connecting pin 44.
[0097] The above-mentioned middle traction buffer sleeve 463 may be made of a material capable
of elastic deformation. In this embodiment, the middle traction buffer sleeve 463
is configured as a rubber sleeve, and the outer traction buffer sleeve 461 and the
inner traction buffer sleeve 462 are both configured as metal sleeves. The middle
traction buffer sleeve 463 is fixed to the outer traction buffer sleeve 461 and the
inner traction buffer sleeve 462 by means of vulcanization. When the wheel 12 on one
side travels on a road with bulges or depressions, the vertical height of the centerline
of the wheel rises, thus driving the centers of gravity of the axle 11, the axle box
13 on the corresponding side of the wheel, and the connection base 3 to rise. The
center of the connection base 3 is raised, resulting in a certain angle between the
centerline of the traction beam mounting hole 34 and the centerline of the traction
connecting pin 44. Because the middle traction buffer sleeve 463 can be elastically
deformed, its upper part is compressed, its lower part is stretched, and the deformation
of the traction connecting pin 44 is reduced and transmitted to the traction device
4, so that the center of gravity of the traction device 4 remains unchanged.
[0098] Further, an outer peripheral surface of the middle traction buffer sleeve 463 is
configured as a spherical surface, so that its middle position along the centerline
direction is fixedly connected with the outer traction buffer sleeve 461, and a certain
buffer gap 464 is formed between its two ends along the centerline direction and the
outer traction buffer sleeve 461. This buffer gap 464 can function as a deformation
space for the middle traction buffer sleeve 463, thereby increasing the deformation
of the middle traction buffer sleeve 463 and further improving the buffering effect.
[0099] This embodiment further provides another implementation of the traction device 4
as follows.
[0100] FIG. 34 is a schematic structural diagram of another traction device according to
the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 35 is an exploded view of another
traction device according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in
FIGS. 34 and 35, the traction device includes: a traction beam 41, a traction pin
42 and a traction buffer 43. Two ends of the traction beam 41 are respectively connected
with the connection bases 3 at the corresponding ends. A top end of the traction pin
42 is connected with the vehicle body, a bottom end of the traction pin 42 is in an
assembled relationship with the traction beam 41, and the traction buffers 43 are
arranged between the traction beam 41 and the traction pin 42.
[0101] The traction pin 42 can refer to the structure commonly used in the prior art. The
top end of the traction pin 42 is connected to the vehicle body, and the bottom end
of the traction pin 42 is fitted with the traction beam 41, so that the longitudinal
force of the bogie can be transmitted to the traction pin 42 through the traction
beam 41, and then to the vehicle body.
[0102] In this embodiment, the top end of the traction pin 42 is provided with vehicle body
mounting portions 421, and the vehicle body mounting partion 421 is provided with
vehicle body connecting holes 422. The connection with the bottom of the vehicle body
is achieved by the vehicle body connecting holes 422 each fitted with a bolt.
[0103] FIG. 36 is a schematic structural diagram of the traction beam in another traction
device according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 34
to 36, the traction beam 41 is of a rod-shaped structure and is arranged between the
two connection bases 3 along the lateral direction.
[0104] The traction buffer 43 may include: an upper hoop 436, a lower hoop 437 and a first
buffer sleeve 438. The upper hoop 436 is connected with the lower hoop 437 to form
an annular hoop which is tightly attached to the outside of the traction beam 41.
The upper hoop 436 is also connected to the bottom end of the traction pin 42 to achieve
the connection between the traction pin 42 and the traction beam 41.
[0105] The upper hoop 436 and the traction pin 42 may be of an integral structure, or may
be fixed together by welding, or the like. The upper hoop 436 and the lower hoop 437
can be connected by bolts.
[0106] The first buffer sleeve 438 is arranged between the annular hoop and the traction
beam 41 to buffer the relative acting force between the annular hoop and the traction
beam 41. This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the first buffer sleeve
438 as follows. FIG. 37 is a schematic structural diagram of the first buffer sleeve
in another traction device according to the second embodiment of this application.
As shown in FIG. 37, the first buffer sleeve 438 includes: a first outer buffer sleeve
4381, a first inner buffer sleeve 4382 and a first middle buffer sleeve 4383. The
first middle buffer sleeve 4383 is arranged between the first outer buffer sleeve
4381 and the first inner buffer sleeve 4382 and fixedly connected with the first outer
buffer sleeve 4381 and the first inner buffer sleeve 4382.
[0107] The first outer buffer sleeve 4381 is in interference fit with the annular hoop and
the first inner buffer sleeve 4382 is in interference fit with the traction beam 41,
so that the first buffer sleeve 438 is firmly arranged between the traction beam 41
and the annular hoop.
[0108] The above-mentioned first middle buffer sleeve 4383 can be made of an elastic material.
In this embodiment, the first outer buffer sleeve 4381 and the first inner buffer
sleeve 4382 are both configured as metal sleeves, and the first middle buffer sleeve
4383 is configured as a rubber sleeve. The rubber sleeve and the metal sleeves on
the inner and outer sides are fixed together by means of vulcanization.
[0109] The above-mentioned first buffer sleeve 438 is fitted over the traction beam 41,
so that the first buffer sleeve 438 can take a buffering effect in a range of 360°.
When the traction pin 42 is subjected to the vertical force of the vehicle body, the
traction pin 42 moves downward slightly, causing the first buffer sleeve 438 to deform
itself to offset the downward displacement of the traction pin 42. In this way, it
is further ensured that the vertical height of the traction beam 42 remains unchanged,
and the bending degree of the traction beam 42 is reduced. When the bogie is in a
traction state or a braking state, the first buffer sleeve 438 can buffer the process
of force transmission between the traction pin 42 and the traction beam 41, thus avoiding
direct rigid contact or wear between the traction pin 42 and the traction beam 41.
[0110] Further, some holes may be formed in the first middle buffer sleeve 4383 to provide
deformation spaces, thereby increasing the deformation of the first middle buffer
sleeve 4383 and improving the buffering effect. As shown in FIG. 37, deformation holes
4383a extending in the direction of the centerline of the first middle buffer sleeve
4383 are formed at ends of the first middle buffer sleeve 4383. The deformation holes
4383a may be through holes running through the first middle buffer sleeve 4383 in
the center line direction, or may be blind holes.
[0111] Two ends of the traction beam 41 are connected to the connection bases 3, and the
structure of the connection base 3 can be adjusted on the basis of the above-mentioned
implementation to adapt to the traction beam 41 of this embodiment.
[0112] FIG. 38 is an inside schematic diagram of a connection base corresponding to another
traction device according to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 39 is
an exploded view of connection of another traction device and the corresponding connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 40 is a schematic
structural diagram of the connection of another traction device and the corresponding
connection base according to the second embodiment of this application. The function
of the connection base 3 shown in FIGS. 38 to 40 is similar to the above-mentioned
implementation, and the specific structure, connection position and shape can be adjusted
adaptively, and only the connection with the traction beam 41 is described in detail
here.
[0113] As shown in FIGS. 38 to 40, a traction beam mounting hole 34 is formed in the inner
surface of the connection base 3, and the traction beam 41 can be inserted into the
traction beam mounting hole 34. Specifically, a traction beam connecting sleeve 3221
is arranged on the inner surface of the connection base 3, and a cavity in the traction
beam connecting sleeve 3221 serves as the traction beam mounting hole 34.
[0114] As shown in FIGS. 34, 35, 39 and 40, further, a second buffer sleeve 439 may be arranged
between the end of the traction beam 42 and the traction beam mounting hole 34 to
buffer the process of force transmission between the traction beam 42 and the connection
base 3, thereby avoiding direct rigid impact between the traction beam 42 and the
connection base 3.
[0115] FIG. 41 is a schematic structural diagram of the second buffer sleeve in another
traction device according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in
FIG. 41, specifically, the second buffer sleeve 439 includes: a second outer buffer
sleeve 4391, a second inner buffer sleeve 4392 and a second middle buffer sleeve 4393.
The second middle buffer sleeve 4393 is arranged between the second outer buffer sleeve
4391 and the second inner buffer sleeve 4392 and fixedly connected with the second
outer buffer sleeve 4391 and the second inner buffer sleeve 4392. The second middle
buffer sleeve 4393 can be made of an elastic material and can produce certain deformation
by itself. In this embodiment, the second middle buffer sleeve 4393 is configured
as a rubber sleeve, the second outer buffer sleeve 4391 and the second inner buffer
sleeve 4392 are both configured as metal sleeves, and the rubber sleeve and the metal
sleeves on the inner and outer sides are fixed together by means of vulcanization.
[0116] The second outer buffer sleeve 4391 is in interference fit with the inner wall of
the traction beam mounting hole 34 and the second inner buffer sleeve 4392 is in interference
fit with the end of the traction beam 41, so that the relative position between the
traction beam 41 and the connection base 3 remains fixed. Moreover, when the wheel
on one side travels on a road with bulges or depressions, the wheel 12, together with
the connection base 3, moves slightly in the vertical direction for a certain distance,
so that the centerline of the traction beam mounting hole 34 in the connection base
3 has a certain angle relative to the centerline of the traction beam 41, instead
of coinciding with the centerline of the traction beam 41. Since the second buffer
sleeve 439 can deform itself, it can offset the displacement of the connection base
3 and ensure that the position of the traction beam 41 remains unchanged, thereby
reducing the vibration of the vehicle body and improving the riding comfort.
[0117] The above-mentioned traction device 4 is configured to transmit the longitudinal
force between the connection base 3 and the vehicle body, and the longitudinal force
between the connection base 3 and the axle box 13 can be transmitted through the side
beam 2. If the side beam 2 is configured as a rigid beam, a better force transmission
effect can be achieved. If the side beam 2 is made of a carbon fiber, a glass fiber,
or the like, a connection structure is required to be arranged between the connection
base 3 and the axle box 13 to transmit the longitudinal force.
[0118] FIG. 42 is a schematic structural diagram of an arrangement of a simplex pull rod
between the connection base and the axle box according to the second embodiment of
this application. As shown in FIG. 42, the simplex pull rod 95 is arranged between
the connection base 3 and the axle box 13 on the same side in the lateral direction
to transmit the longitudinal force. The simplex pull rod 95 extends in the longitudinal
direction and has one end connected to the connection base 3 and the other end connected
to the axle box 13.
[0119] FIG. 43 is an exploded view of an assembly of the simplex pull rod with a first pull
rod connecting assembly and a second pull rod connecting assembly according to the
second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG. 43, the first pull rod connecting
assembly can be configured to connect the simplex pull rod 95 and the axle box 13,
and the second pull rod connecting assembly can be configured to connect the simplex
pull rod 95 and the connection base 3.
[0120] Specifically, first, the implementation of the first pull rod connecting assembly
is described in detail as follows.
[0121] FIG. 44 is an exploded view of an assembly of the simplex pull rod and the axle box
according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 45 is a schematic
structural diagram of the assembly of the simplex pull rod and the axle box according
to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 43 to 45, one end
of the simplex pull rod 95 is provided with a first pull rod hole 951, and a centerline
of the first pull rod hole 95 1 extends in the lateral direction. Correspondingly,
the axle box 13 is provided with pull rod threaded holes 133.
[0122] The above-mentioned first pull rod connecting assembly includes: a first mandrel
95a1 and pull rod connecting studs 95a2. The first mandrel 95a1 is inserted into the
first pull rod hole 951. Two ends of the first mandrel 95a1 are exposed out of the
first pull rod hole 951, and first mandrel bolt holes 95a11 are formed at the two
ends. One end of the pull rod connecting stud 95a2 is fixed in the pull rod threaded
hole 133 in the axle box 3 by threaded fitting, and the other end of the pull rod
connecting stud 95a2 passes through the first mandrel bolt hole 95a11 and is then
connected to a first pull rod connecting nut 95a3. A gasket can be arranged between
the pull rod connecting stud 95a2 and the first pull rod connecting nut 95a3 as required.
[0123] Two pull rod connecting protrusions 134 are arranged on a box body 131 of the axle
box 13, and each pull rod connecting protrusion 134 is provided with the pull rod
threaded hole 133 having a centerline extending in the longitudinal direction.
[0124] In addition to the above implementation of this embodiment, other implementations
may also be used to connect the simplex pull rod 95 and the axle box 13, which is
not limited in this embodiment.
[0125] FIG. 46 is a cross-sectional view of the first mandrel according to the second embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 46, the first mandrel 95a1 may specifically
include: a first mandrel body 95a12, a first outer mandrel sleeve 95a13 and a first
mandrel buffer sleeve 95a14. The first mandrel body 95a12 has a cylindrical middle
part and two rectangular parallelepiped ends, and the first mandrel bolt holes 95a11
are formed in the rectangular parallelepiped parts. The first outer mandrel sleeve
95a13 is fitted over the first mandrel body 95a12 and is in interference fit with
the inner wall of the first pull rod hole 951.
[0126] The first mandrel buffer sleeve 95a14 is arranged between the first mandrel body
95a12 and the first outer mandrel sleeve 95a13. The first mandrel buffer sleeve 95a14
can be made of an elastic material. In this embodiment, the first mandrel buffer sleeve
95a14 is configured as a rubber sleeve, and the first mandrel body 95a12 and the first
outer mandrel sleeve 95a13 are both made of a metal. The first mandrel buffer sleeve
95a14 is fixed to the first mandrel body 95a12 and the first outer mandrel sleeve
95a13 by means of vulcanization.
[0127] Since the first mandrel buffer sleeve 95a14 itself can deform within a range of 360°,
when the wheel travels in an uneven area, the vertical heights of the wheel 12 and
the axle box 13 are increased. Through the deformation of the first mandrel buffer
sleeve 95a14, a force applied by the axle box 13 to the simplex pull rod 95 due to
the height change can be offset and the vertical height of the simplex pull rod 95
is not changed; as a result, the vertical heights of the connection base 3 and the
vehicle body will not be influenced and the riding comfort can be improved.
[0128] Second, the implementation of the second pull rod connecting assembly is described
in detail as follows.
[0129] FIG. 47 is an exploded view of an assembly of the simplex pull rod and the connection
base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 48 is a schematic
structural diagram of the assembly of the simplex pull rod and the connection base
according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 43, 47 and
48, the other end of the simplex pull rod 95 is provided with a second pull rod hole
952, and a centerline of the second pull rod hole 952 extends in the lateral direction.
Correspondingly, pull rod connecting holes 351 are formed in the connection base 3
to connect the simplex pull rod 95.
[0130] The above-mentioned second pull rod connecting assembly includes: a second mandrel
95b1 and pull rod connecting bolts 95b2. The second mandrel 95b1 is inserted into
the second pull rod hole 952. Two ends of the second mandrel 95b1 are exposed out
of the second pull rod hole 952, and second mandrel bolt holes 95b11 are formed at
the two ends. The pull rod connecting bolt 95b2 passes through the pull rod connecting
hole 351 in the connection base 3 and the second mandrel bolt hole 95b11 in sequence
and is then connected to a second pull rod connecting nut 95b3. A gasket can be arranged
between the pull rod connecting bolt 95b2 and the second pull rod connecting nut 95b3
as required.
[0131] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 47, pull rod connecting columns 35 are arranged at the bottom
of the connection base 3, and the pull rod connecting hole 351 having a centerline
extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the pull rod connecting column
35.
[0132] In addition to the above implementation of this embodiment, other implementations
may also be used to connect the simplex pull rod 95 and the connection base 3, which
is not limited in this embodiment.
[0133] The structure of the second mandrel 95b1 may refer to the structure of the first
mandrel 95a1, and the second mandrel 95b1 may be of the same structure as the first
mandrel 95a1. Specifically, the second mandrel 95b1 may include: a second mandrel
body, a second outer mandrel sleeve, and a second mandrel buffer sleeve. The second
mandrel body has a cylindrical middle part and two rectangular parallelepiped ends,
and the second mandrel bolt holes 95b11 are formed in the rectangular parallelepiped
parts. The second outer mandrel sleeve is fitted over the second mandrel body and
is in interference fit with the inner wall of the second pull rod hole 952.
[0134] The second mandrel buffer sleeve is arranged between the second mandrel body and
the second outer mandrel sleeve. The second mandrel buffer sleeve can be made of an
elastic material. In this embodiment, the second mandrel buffer sleeve is configured
as a rubber sleeve, and the second mandrel body and the second outer mandrel sleeve
are both made of a metal. The second mandrel buffer sleeve is fixed to the second
mandrel body and the second outer mandrel sleeve by means of vulcanization.
[0135] The following is a detailed description of the components related to the wheel set.
[0136] FIG. 49 is a schematic structural diagram of the wheel set and the axle box according
to the second embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 49, the wheel set includes
an axle 11 and wheels 12. Two wheels 12 are provided and symmetrically arranged on
the axle 11. Two axle boxes 13 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the axle
11 and located at inner sides of the wheels 12.
[0137] On the basis of the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a split wheel
as follows.
[0138] FIG. 50 is a schematic structural diagram of the wheel according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 51 is an exploded view of the wheel according to the
second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 50 and 51, the wheel 12 includes
a wheel boss 121, a wheel rim 122, and a wheel ring 123. An axle hole 1211 is formed
at the center of the wheel boss 121, and the axle 11 can be inserted into the axle
hole 1211 and is in interference fit with the axle hole 1211. A part between the axle
hole 1211 and an outer edge of the wheel boss 121 is configured as a spoke plate 1212,
and a surface of the spoke plate 1212 may be configured as a plane or a curved surface.
[0139] The wheel rim 122 is fitted over an outer peripheral surface of the wheel boss 121
and in interference fit with the wheel boss 121, so that the axle 11, the wheel boss
121 and the wheel rim 122 rotate synchronously. The wheel ring 123 is configured to
connect the wheel boss 121 and the wheel rim 122.
[0140] FIG. 52 is a cross-sectional view of the wheel according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 53 is an enlarged view of area E in FIG. 52. The specific
structure may refer to FIGS. 50 to 53, a tread 1221 is arranged at an outer peripheral
surface of the wheel rim 122, and one end of the tread 1221 along the axial direction
protrudes to form a wheel flange 1222. The tread 1221 is configured to come into contact
with a railway track, and the wheel flange 1222 is configured to abut against an inner
side of the track, so as to limit the wheel 12 on the track.
[0141] A limiting flange 1223 is arranged on an inner peripheral surface of one end of the
wheel rim 122 in the axial direction, and the limiting flange 1223 protrudes from
the outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface. The limiting flange
1223 is located at one end away from the wheel flange 1222. Correspondingly, an axial
end of the wheel boss 121 is provided with a stepped surface 1213 to be lapped on
the limiting flange 1223. During the assembly process, the wheel boss 121 is mounted
in the wheel rim 122 leftwards until the stepped surface 1213 comes into contact with
the limiting flange 1223, and then, the assembly of the wheel boss 121 is completed.
The limiting flange 1223 can limit the wheel boss 121 from coming off the wheel rim
122 from the left side.
[0142] The wheel ring 123 is configured to fix the wheel boss 121 in the wheel rim 122.
Specifically, a wheel ring assembling groove 1224 is formed in an inner peripheral
surface of the other end of the wheel rim 122 in the axial direction, and the wheel
ring 123 can be embedded in the wheel ring assembling groove 1224. The wheel ring
123 is annular and has a thickness greater than a depth of the wheel ring assembling
groove 1224, and the wheel ring 123 has an outer part embedded in the wheel ring assembling
groove 1224 and an inner part located outside the wheel ring assembling groove 1224.
The part located outside the wheel ring assembling groove 1224 extends to the end
surface of the wheel boss 121 and presses the wheel boss 121 in the wheel rim 122
tightly, thus preventing the wheel boss 121 from coming off to the right.
[0143] The above implementation can be carried out to limit the wheel boss 121 within the
wheel rim 122, but it is not the only implementation. Those skilled in the art can
also modify the above solution to obtain other implementations which can also achieve
the effect of limiting the position of the wheel boss 121.
[0144] The above-mentioned wheel 12 is of a split structure and consists of the wheel boss
121, the wheel rim 122 and the wheel ring 123. When the tread of the wheel rim 122
is seriously worn, only the wheel rim 122 needs to be replaced, and the wheel boss
121 does not need to be replaced. The wheel boss 121 can be reused, which reduces
the waste of materials and reduces the operating cost of the rail vehicle. The structure
of the wheel 12 is relatively simple and can be produced easily.
[0145] A wheel ring notch 1231 can be formed in the wheel ring 123, so that the wheel ring
can be deformed for convenient assembly. The cross section of the wheel ring 123 may
be rectangular, trapezoidal, or the like. The wheel ring assembling groove 1224 matches
the wheel ring 123 in shape.
[0146] The above-mentioned wheel boss 121 can be made of a light-weight high-strength material,
such as an aluminum-based graphene material, an aluminum alloy, a magnesium alloy,
or the like. Since the aluminum-based graphene material, the aluminum alloy, the magnesium
alloy and other light-weight high-strength materials have the characteristics of high
strength and low density, in the case where the above-mentioned wheel boss 121 is
made of the aluminum-based graphene material, the aluminum alloy, the magnesium alloy
or other light-weight high-strength materials, on the condition that the wheel 12
meets the strength requirement, the weight of the wheel 12 can be greatly reduced,
and the overall mass of the wheel set, the bogie and the rail vehicle can be further
reduced, which is favorable for energy saving and consumption reduction of the rail
vehicle. In addition, it can also reduce the unsprung mass of the bogie, the acting
force between the wheel and the track, the wear of the wheel and the track, and the
noise.
[0147] In addition, as shown in FIG. 52, an oil groove 1214 is formed in an axle hole wall
of the wheel boss 121, and an oil filler hole 1215 in communication with the oil groove
1214 is formed in the wheel boss 121. The oil groove 1214 may be configured as an
annular oil groove, and the cross section of the oil groove 1214 may be semicircular.
[0148] When the wheel boss 121 is disassembled from the axle 11, lubricating oil can be
filled into the oil groove 1214 through the oil filler hole 1215, so that the lubricating
oil can reach a position between the axle 11 and the wheel boss 121 through the oil
filler hole 1215 and the oil groove 1214 to form an oil film between the axle 11 and
the wheel boss 121. In this way, the surface of the axle 11 or the wheel boss 121
is prevented from being damaged during the axle withdrawal process, thereby improving
the service life of the axle 11 and the wheel boss 121 and reducing the use cost.
Moreover, the wheel boss 121 can be disassembled from the axle 11 without using a
large force, which facilitates the operation.
[0149] The above-mentioned bogie can function as a non-powered bogie, and if a driving device
is provided therein, the bogie can function as a powered bogie. This embodiment provides
an implementation of the driving device as follows.
[0150] FIG. 54 is a schematic structural diagram of the powered bogie according to the second
embodiment of this application; FIG. 55 is a top view of the powered bogie according
to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 56 is a cross-sectional view
of the wheel set, the axle boxes and the driving devices according to the second embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIGS. 54 to 56, the driving device 5 includes: a
direct drive motor 51 and balance rods 52. The direct drive motor 51 is arranged on
the axle 11 and located between the two axle boxes 13.
[0151] The direct drive motor 51 includes a motor housing 511, a rotor 512, and a stator.
The motor housing 511 is connected to the connection base 3 through the balance rod
52. The stator is arranged on the motor housing 511 and is fixed. The rotor 512 is
in interference fit with the axle 12 to rotate synchronously with the axle 12.
[0152] The direct drive motor 51 may be of a structure commonly used in the prior art. Bearings
may be arranged between the motor housing 511 and the axle 11 to support the motor
housing 511 and ensure that the rotor 512 can rotate smoothly. In this embodiment,
since the axle box 13 is arranged between the wheel 12 and the direct drive motor
51, the motor housing 511 can be connected to the box body 131 of the axle box 13,
so that the motor housing 511 and the box body 131 share the bearing 132.
[0153] One end of the balance rod 52 is connected to the motor housing 511, and the other
end of the balance rod 52 is connected to the connection base 3. The connection with
the motor housing 511 may be implemented by means of bolting, welding, riveting, or
the like. The connection with the connection base 3 can be implemented as follows.
[0154] FIG. 57 is a schematic structural diagram of an assembly of the balance rod and the
connection base according to the second embodiment of this application; and FIG. 58
is an exploded view of the assembly of the balance rod and the connection base according
to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 57 and 58, the balance
rod 52 and the connection base 3 are connected together by a balance rod connector.
The balance rod connector includes: a balance rod mandrel 531 and balance rod connecting
bolts 532.
[0155] Specifically, the balance rod 51 is of an approximate "V"-shaped structure and has
a top connected to the motor housing 511 and two ends connected to the corresponding
connection bases 3. A balance rod connecting hole 521 is formed at the end of the
balance rod 51, and the balance rod mandrel 531 can pass through the balance rod connecting
hole 521. The structure of the balance rod mandrel 531 may refer to the structure
of the first mandrel 95a1 shown in FIG. 46. A middle part of the balance rod mandrel
531 is inserted in the balance rod connecting hole 521, and two ends of the balance
rod mandrel 531 are exposed out of the balance rod connecting hole 521 and each provided
with a balance rod mandrel connecting hole 5311.
[0156] Correspondingly, balance rod connecting openings are formed in the connection base
3, specifically in the base body top plate 321. Balance rod connecting protrusions
3212 are arranged at inner top corners of the base body top plate 321, and a balance
rod threaded hole 3213 is formed in an end surface of the balance rod connecting protrusion
3212. After passing through the balance rod mandrel connecting hole 5311, the balance
rod connecting bolt 532 is fixed in the balance rod threaded hole 3213 by threaded
fitting.
[0157] Two balance rod connecting protrusions 3212 connected to one end of the balance rod
52 are provided, and a certain gap exits between the two balance rod connecting protrusions
3212 to form a balance rod avoidance groove. The end of the balance rod 52 can be
accommodated in the balance rod avoidance groove.
[0158] Using the above-mentioned balance rod mandrel 531 to connect the balance rod 52 and
the connection base 3 can offset a starting torque of the motor.
[0159] On the basis of the above technical solution, a braking device 6 is arranged in the
bogie to carry out braking in a braking state. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 54, this embodiment
adopts disc braking. That is, a brake disc 124 is arranged on a disc surface of the
wheel 12 (i.e., a spoke plate surface, also known as, the outer surface of the above-mentioned
wheel boss 121), and the braking device 6 carries out braking by clamping the brake
disc 124. For the wheel 12 provided above, the brake disc 124 can be connected with
the wheel boss 121 by bolts.
[0160] FIG. 59 is a schematic structural diagram of connection of the braking device and
the connection base according to the second embodiment of this application; FIG. 60
is a schematic structural diagram of the braking device according to the second embodiment
of this application; FIG. 61 is an exploded view of an assembly of a braking unit
connector in the braking device and the connection base according to the second embodiment
of this application; and FIG. 62 is a cross-sectional view of the assembly of the
braking unit connector in the braking device and the connection base according to
the second embodiment of this application.
[0161] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 59 to 62, the braking device 6 includes a braking unit 61
and the braking unit connector 62. The braking unit connector 62 is configured to
connect the braking unit 61 to the connection base 3. The braking unit connector 62
has a first vertical mounting surface configured to be attached to a second vertical
mounting surface on the connection base 3 to implement assembly and connection.
[0162] Specifically, brake mounting bases 36 are arranged at the outer side of the connection
base 3, and specifically, at the top of the second base body outer side plate 323
located at the outer side of the connection base 3. One connection base 3 is provided
with two brake mounting bases 36 each connected with one corresponding braking device
6.
[0163] The brake mounting base 36 is provided with the second vertical mounting surface
361. Correspondingly, the braking unit connector 62 is provided with the first vertical
mounting surface 621 facing the second vertical mounting surface 361. The first vertical
mounting surface 621 and the second vertical mounting surface 361 are both vertical
surfaces. The first vertical mounting surface 621 and the second vertical mounting
surface 361 are closely attached and can be connected by means of bolting, clamping,
or the like. In this embodiment, mounting base threaded holes 362 are formed in the
brake mounting base 36, and a centerline of the mounting base threaded hole 362 is
vertical to the second vertical mounting surface 361; that is, the mounting base threaded
hole 362 extends in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the braking unit connector
62 is provided with brake connector bolt holes 622, and a centerline of the brake
connector bolt hole 622 is vertical to the first vertical mounting surface 621; that
is, the brake connector bolt hole 622 extends in the horizontal direction. A brake
connecting bolt 623 is used to pass through the brake connector bolt hole 622 and
then to be fixed in the mounting base threaded hole 362 by thread fitting.
[0164] The above-mentioned brake connecting bolts 623 connect the braking unit 61 and the
connection base 3 together, and their ends are subjected to the gravitational force
of the braking unit 61. The brake connecting bolts 623 may be bent during long-term
running, which affects the relative position between the braking unit and the wheel.
In order to avoid the problem, the following improvements can be made.
[0165] The first vertical mounting surface 621 is provided with a first support portion
and correspondingly, the second vertical mounting surface 361 is provided with a second
support portion. The second support portion matches the first support portion in shape
and is configured to apply an upward supporting force to the first support portion,
thereby relieving the vertical force on the brake connecting bolts 623.
[0166] Specifically, the above-mentioned first support portion may be configured as a support
groove 624 formed in the first vertical mounting surface 621 and extending in the
horizontal direction. The support groove 624 is located at the middle position of
the first vertical mounting surface 621 along the vertical direction. Two brake connector
bolt holes 622 are symmetrically arranged above the support groove 624 and two brake
connector bolt holes 622 are symmetrically arranged below the support groove 624.
The above-mentioned second support portion is configured as a support key 363 protruding
from the second vertical mounting surface 361. The support key 363 extends in the
horizontal direction and is located at the middle position of the second vertical
mounting surface 361 along the vertical direction. Two mounting base threaded holes
362 are symmetrically arranged above the support key 363 and two mounting base threaded
holes 362 are symmetrically arranged below the support key 363. The height of the
support key 363 protruding from the second vertical mounting surface 361 is less than
the depth of the support groove 624, and the support key 363 can be accommodated in
the support groove 624 to support the braking unit connector 62.
[0167] A center distance between the brake mounting base 36 and the connection base 3 is
relatively short; that is, a moment arm corresponding to the braking unit 61 is relatively
short, so that a torque received by the brake mounting base 36 is small and the brake
mounting base 36 is not prone to deformation. In this way, the position of the braking
unit 61 will not change, thus ensuring that the braking unit 61 can always be located
on both sides of the brake disc 124 in the wheel 12, and the braking effect can be
better achieved during the braking process.
[0168] The connection between the braking unit connector 62 and the braking unit 61 may
be implemented by means of bolting, welding, clamping, or the like, which is not specifically
limited in this embodiment.
[0169] On the basis of the above technical solution, the connection forms of various dampers
in the bogie are described in detail as follows.
[0170] FIG. 63 is a schematic structural diagram of connection of the connection base and
various dampers according to the second embodiment of this application. As shown in
FIGS. 1, 2 and 63, each anti-yaw damper 91 extends in the longitudinal direction and
has one end connected to the connection base 3 and the other end connected to the
vehicle body. Each vertical damper 93 extends in the vertical direction and has one
end connected to the connection base 3 and the other end connected to the vehicle
body. Each anti-roll torsion bar 92 extends in the lateral direction and two ends
of the anti-roll torsion bar 92 are respectively connected with the connection bases
3 on both sides. The two ends of the anti-roll torsion bar 92 are each provided with
a vertical connecting rod extending in the vertical direction to be connected with
the vehicle body. Each lateral damper 94 extends in the lateral direction and has
one end connected to the traction pin 42 and the other end connected to the connection
base 3.
[0171] The structures of the anti-yaw damper 91, the anti-roll torsion bar 92, the vertical
damper 93 and the lateral damper 94 can all be implemented with reference to the prior
art. In this embodiment, only the connection between the dampers and the connection
base 3 is described in detail.
[0172] The outer surface of the connection base 3 is provided with the damper mounting portion
324 for connecting the anti-yaw damper 91, the anti-roll torsion bar 92 and the vertical
damper 93. Specifically, a damper mounting base 97 is configured to be fixed on the
damper mounting portion 324, and the anti-yaw damper 91, the anti-roll torsion bar
92 and the vertical damper 93 are all connected to the damper mounting base 97.
[0173] The above-mentioned damper mounting base 97 can be welded into a box-shaped structure
by using steel plates, and connecting openings for connecting the dampers are formed
in the damper mounting base 97.
[0174] FIG. 64 is a schematic structural diagram of connection of the lateral damper with
the traction pin and the connection base according to the second embodiment of this
application. As shown in FIG. 64, each lateral damper 94 extends in the lateral direction
and has one end connected to the traction pin 42 and the other end connected to the
connection base 3. Specifically, a connecting hole is formed in the second base body
inner side plate 322 in the connection base 3, and an outer end of the lateral damper
94 can be fixed by a bolt passing through the connecting hole and fitted with a nut.
[0175] A lateral damper mounting base 941 is connected to the bottom end of the traction
pin 42, and the lateral damper mounting base 941 can be fixed on the traction pin
42 by bolts. An inner end of the lateral damper 94 can be fixedly connected to the
lateral damper mounting base 941 by bolts.
[0176] Further, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 42 to 45, 47 and 48, if the side beam 2 is made
of a carbon fiber, a glass fiber and other fiber materials, the elasticity of the
side beam 2 is good, but the rigidity of the side beam 2 is not enough to achieve
a good anti-roll effect. Therefore, an anti-roll link 96 can be configured to be connected
between the simplex pull rods 95 on two lateral sides. The anti-roll links 96 extend
in the lateral direction. For example, when the vehicle passes through a cross triangular
pit, the height difference between the wheels on two sides is large and the relative
position of the two side beams and the vehicle body does not change; as a result,
the links are twisted. When the vertical height of a wheel 12 is too high, the anti-roll
link 96 can exert a downward vertical force on the wheel, so that the wheel is closely
attached to the track, thus avoiding a derailment accident and reducing the risk of
rolling over of the rail vehicle.
Third embodiment
[0177] This embodiment provides an implementation of another bogie.
[0178] FIG. 65 is a schematic structural diagram of the bogie according to the third embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 65, the bogie according to this embodiment includes
two mutually independent side beams 2, and the two side beams 2 are parallel and extend
in the longitudinal direction. An axle box 13 is located at an inner side of a wheel
12 and is close to the wheel 12. An end of the side beam 2 is connected to the axle
box 13 through a primary suspension device 7, and the primary suspension device 7
functions to support the side beam 2 and buffer a vertical force.
[0179] A connection base 3 is arranged at a middle part of each side beam 2, and a secondary
suspension device 8 is arranged at a top of the connection base 3. A top of the secondary
suspension device 8 is connected to a vehicle body and functions to support the vehicle
body and buffer the vertical force.
[0180] A traction device 4 is connected between the two connection bases 3 and configured
to transmit a lateral force. The traction device 4 is connected with the vehicle body
at the top and configured to transmit a traction force or braking force to the vehicle
body.
[0181] An outer surface of the connection base 3 is provided with brake mounting bases for
mounting braking devices 6. A braking unit in the braking device 6 extends to two
sides of the wheel 12 and clamps a disc surface of the wheel 12 to carry out braking
in a braking state.
[0182] The outer surface of the connection base 3 is provided with a damper mounting portion
324 for connecting an anti-yaw damper 91, an anti-roll torsion bar 92 and a vertical
damper 93.
[0183] FIG. 66 is a schematic structural diagram of the side beam in the bogie according
to the third embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 65 and 66, the side
beam 2 of this embodiment is of a box-shaped structure, which may be welded by steel
plates, or may be made of a carbon fiber or glass fiber material. In terms of the
lateral width, the side beam 2 is wide in the middle and narrow at two ends, and in
terms of the vertical thickness, the side beam 2 is thick in the middle and thin at
two ends. The middle part of the side beam is recessed downward to form a fish belly
shape, which improves the strength of the middle part of the side beam 2.
[0184] FIG. 67 is a side plan view of an assembly of the side beam and the axle box through
the primary suspension device in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this
application; FIG. 68 is an exploded view of an assembly of one end of the side beam
with the primary suspension device and the axle box in the bogie according to the
third embodiment of this application; FIG. 69 is a schematic structural diagram of
the primary suspension device in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this
application; and FIG. 70 is a cross-sectional view of the primary suspension device
in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this application.
[0185] As shown in FIGS. 67 and 68, each end of the side beam 2 is supported by the primary
suspension device 7, and a bottom end of the primary suspension device 7 is connected
to the axle box 13. The implementation of the primary suspension device 7 will be
described in detail as follows.
[0186] As shown in FIGS. 69 and 70, the primary suspension device 7 includes: primary rigid
support layers 701, primary elastic buffer layers 702 and a primary rigid support
base layer 704. The primary rigid support base layer 704 is arranged at the bottom
end, so as to be in contact with the axle box 13. The primary elastic buffer layers
702 and the primary rigid support layers 701 are arranged above the primary rigid
support base layer 704 and alternately stacked, and the primary elastic buffer layer
702 is in contact with the primary rigid support base layer 704. The primary rigid
support layer 701 is arranged at the top end, so as to come into contact with a bottom
surface of the side beam 2.
[0187] The above-mentioned primary rigid support base layer 704 and the primary rigid support
layer 701 can be made of a rigid material and mainly play a supporting role to keep
the overall shape of the primary suspension device 7 unchanged. The primary elastic
buffer layer 702 can be made of an elastic material and can be elastically deformed
to buffer the vertical force between the side beam 2 and the axle box 13. The primary
rigid support layer 701 and the primary rigid support base layer 704 can be made of
a metal material as metal layers, and the primary elastic buffer layer 702 can be
made of rubber as a rubber layer. The primary rigid support layers 701, the primary
elastic buffer layers 702 and the primary rigid support base layer are fixed into
a whole by means of vulcanization.
[0188] The top surface of the primary suspension device 7 is shaped to be high in the middle
and low at both ends. Correspondingly, a primary accommodating recess 26 is formed
at the bottom surface of each end of the side beam 2, and the primary accommodating
recess 26 matches the top surface of the primary suspension device 7 in shape, so
that the top of the primary suspension device 7 can be accommodated in the primary
accommodating recess 26. During the assembly process of the side beam 2 and the primary
suspension device 7, the effect of rapid positioning and assembly can be achieved,
and the production efficiency can be improved.
[0189] Moreover, if the side beam 2 is made of a fiber material, such as a carbon fiber
and a glass fiber, the side beam 2 has certain flexibility. When subjected to the
vertical pressure of the vehicle body, the middle part of the side beam 2 is deformed
to some degree and the longitudinal distance between the two ends of the side beam
2 is reduced, causing the ends of the side beam 2 to move for a certain distance longitudinally
relative to the primary suspension devices 7. The above-mentioned positioning assembly
of the primary suspension devices 7 and the side beam 2 can get adapted to the longitudinal
movement of the side beam 2. In other words, the primary suspension devices 7 will
not hinder the longitudinal movement of the side beam 2.
[0190] Specifically, the bottom surface of the primary rigid support base layer 704 is configured
as a plane, and the middle part of the top surface of the primary rigid support base
layer 704 protrudes upward to form a shape with a high middle and low ends. The primary
elastic buffer layer 702 is of a plate-like structure with a uniform thickness and
an upwardly protruding middle part, and the protrusion matches the top surface of
the primary rigid support base layer 704 in shape. The primary rigid support layer
701 is of a plate-like structure with a uniform thickness and an upwardly protruding
middle part, and the protrusion matches the top surface of the primary rigid support
base layer 704 in shape.
[0191] Primary positioning holes 703 are formed from the bottom surface of the primary rigid
support base layer 704 to the inside. The depth of the primary positioning holes 703
matches the length of primary positioning pins 25 arranged on the axle box 13.
[0192] Certainly, in addition to the above-mentioned implementation of this embodiment,
other implementations may also be adopted. For example, a protrusion is formed at
the bottom surface of each end of the side beam 2 and a recess is correspondingly
formed at the top surface of the primary suspension device 7; in this way, the same
rapid positioning effect can also be achieved.
[0193] The upper surface of the middle part of the side beam 2 is provided with a side beam
connecting pin 24, so as to be connected with the connection base 3. The implementation
of the connection base 3 may refer to the above-mentioned embodiment and it will not
be repeated in this embodiment. FIG. 71 is an exploded view of connection of the side
beam and the connection base in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this
application; FIG. 72 is an outside view of the connection of the side beam and the
connection base in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this application;
and FIG. 73 is an inside view of the side beam and the connection base in the bogie
according to the third embodiment of this application. As shown in FIGS. 71 to 73,
the side beam 2 passes through the connection base 3 from the middle, and the side
beam connecting pin 24 passes upward through a side beam connecting hole 3211 in the
connection base 3, and then penetrates into the secondary suspension device 8.
[0194] FIG. 74 is a schematic structural diagram of connection of the side beam, the connection
base and the traction device in the bogie according to the third embodiment of this
application. As shown in FIG. 74, the traction device 4 is connected between the two
connection bases 3, and the specific implementation of the traction device 4 can refer
to the above-mentioned embodiment. FIG. 74 shows an implementation in which a traction
beam 41 is of a frame-shaped structure, and another implementation in which the traction
beam 41 is of a rod-shaped structure is also applicable to the bogie according to
this embodiment.
[0195] FIG. 75 is a schematic structural diagram of an arrangement of a simplex pull rod
between the connection base and the axle box in the bogie according to the third embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 75, the simplex pull rod 95 extending in the
longitudinal direction is connected between the axle box 13 and the connection base
3 and is configured to transmit a longitudinal force between the axle box 13 and the
connection base 3. The specific implementation of the simplex pull rod 95 can refer
to the above-mentioned embodiment and it will not be repeated here.
[0196] The above-described embodiment can be implemented as a non-powered bogie. If a driving
device is arranged on the bogie, the bogie can be used as a powered bogie. FIG. 76
is a schematic structural diagram of the powered bogie according to the third embodiment
of this application. As shown in FIG. 76, the driving device 5 includes: direct drive
motors 51 and balance rods 52. The direct drive motor 51 is arranged on the axle 11
and located between the two axle boxes 13. One end of the balance rod 52 is connected
to a housing of the direct drive motor 51, and the other end of the balance rod 52
is connected to the connection base 3. The specific implementation of the driving
device 5 may refer to the above-mentioned embodiment and it will not be repeated in
this embodiment.
[0197] The other parts of the bogie according to this embodiment can be implemented by referring
to the above-mentioned embodiments and it will not be repeated in this embodiment.
[0198] In the above second and third embodiments, the axle box 13 is located at the inner
side of the wheel 12. Besides, the axle box 13 may also be arranged at an outer side
of the wheel 12, and correspondingly, the ends of the side beam 2 also extend to the
outer sides of of the wheels 12, so as to be assembled with the axle boxes 13 through
the primary suspension devices 7. The connection base 3 is connected with the axle
box 13 through the simplex pull rod 95, and the connection base 3 is also connected
with the braking devices 6, and the positions of the braking devices 6 correspond
to the positions of the wheels 12. Therefore, the structure of the connection base
3 can be adaptively adjusted to meet the assembly of various parts.
[0199] When the axle box 13 is located at the outer side of the wheel 12, the bearing is
arranged between the box body 131 of the axle box 13 and the axle 11. For the powered
bogie using the direct drive motor 51, a bearing is also arranged between the motor
housing 511 and the rotor 512 to ensure the normal operation of the direct drive motor
51.
Fourth embodiment
[0200] This embodiment provides a rail vehicle using the bogie according to any of the above-mentioned
embodiments.
[0201] According to the rail vehicle using the above-mentioned bogie, two independent side
beams span over the two wheel sets, the two side beams are parallel to each other,
and ends of the side beams are located above the axle boxes and supported by the axle
boxes; one connection base is arranged at the middle part of each side beam, and the
traction device is connected between the two connection bases to provide a traction
force or braking force for the vehicle body. Since the two side beams are independent,
the advantages of small size, light weight and low manufacturing difficulty are achieved.
In the subsequent assembly process with other parts, the bogie can be hoisted easily
and conveniently, which can simplify the operation of alignment and reduce the production
time of the bogie to improve the production efficiency of the entire rail vehicle.
