DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS



[0014] In order to clarify the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following further detailed description of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not exhaustive of all embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of the frame provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of the side beam provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of the cross beam provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Please refer to FIGs. 1 to 3.

[0016] The present embodiment provides a frame 20 including two corresponding side beams 21 and a cross beam 22 connected to the two side beams 21, two ends of the cross beam 22 being movably connected to the two side beams 21 respectively.

[0017] Specifically, the cross beam 22 includes a main body portion for connecting the traction device and a connecting portion for hinging with the side beam 21, the connecting portion is provided at two ends of the main body portion, and the width of the connecting portion is gradually reduced along a direction away from the main body portion, and one end of the connecting portion away from the main body is movably connected to the side beam 21.

[0018] With the above arrangement, the side beam 21 is articulated with the cross beam 22, and the rotational freedom is completely released, so that the side beam 21 has a good follow-up to the wheelset. The embodiment realizes the flexibility of the frame 20, and the frame 20 can bear a part of the rail distortion, thus reducing the deflection change caused by the rail distortion, so that the bogie frame has good adaptability on both straight rail and curved rail, and is conducive to improving the comfort of passengers. The width of the connecting portion is gradually reduced so that a gap can be formed between the connecting portion and the side beam 21, which can ensure that the cross beam 22 can have a greater amount of rotation relative to the side beam 21 and avoid collision between the cross beam 22 and the side beam 21. In addition, the space in the partial gap can be fully utilized to arrange other components on the bogie frame (such as brake caliper hanging seat, etc.).

[0019] Specifically, in the embodiment, two ends of the cross beam 22 are movably connected with the two side beams 21 respectively, that is, certain displacement can be generated between the cross beam 22 and the side beams 21 in any direction, so that the frame 20 becomes a flexible frame, and the frame 20 also bears a part of the distortion, thus reducing the variation of the deflection of the primary spring 40 caused by the rail distortion. That is to say the present embodiment can make the vehicle body more adaptable to the curved rail by changing the angle of the cross beam 22 and the side beam 21 in the horizontal direction. Through the change of the cross beam 22 and the side beam 21 in the vertical direction, the car body is more adaptable for the uneven rail surface, to ensure the flexibility of the bogie frame, ease the influence of rail distortion, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of the car body and improving the safety of railway vehicles. The embodiment improves the ability of the bogie frame to adapt to the rail distortion, improves the safety of the vehicle passing curved rail, and solves the contradiction between the anti-rolling stiffness and the anti-torsion stiffness of the frame connected by welding in the related technology, as well as the anti-bending stiffness and the anti-twisting stiffness.

[0020] Alternatively, in the present embodiment, a first hinge portion 211 is provided at the middle of the side beam 21, a second hinge portion 2234 is provided at two ends of the cross beam 22, and the side beam 21 and the cross beam 22 are hinged and connected through the first hinge portion 211 and the second hinge portion 2234.

[0021] Specifically, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the connecting structure of the side beam and the cross beam provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Please refer to FIG. 4. In the embodiment, the first hinge portion 211 includes a hinge pin seat 2111 disposed in the side beam 21, a cavity is formed in the hinge pin seat 2111, and a pressing sleeve 2112, a positioning ring 2113 and a hinge end cover 2114 are disposed in the cavity. The positioning ring 2113 is located at one side away from the cross beam 22, and one end of the pressing sleeve 2112 close to the cross beam 22 is abutted against the inner wall of the cavity. The positioning ring 2113 is pressed on one end of the pressing sleeve 2112 away from the cross beam 22 through a fastener, and the positioning ring 2113 is sleeved outside the hinge end cover 2114. The pressing sleeve 2112 can be selected from a rubber sleeve for better adapt to deformation.

[0022] The second hinge portion 2234 includes a hinge pin 22341 penetrated into the pressing sleeve 2112 and abutted against the hinge end cover 2114, and a center bolt 22342 penetrated through the hinge end cover 2114 and fixed in the hinge pin 22341, so that the first hinge portion 211 and the second hinge portion 2234 are hinged.

[0023] With the above arrangement, the side beam 21 is articulated with the cross beam 22, and the rotational freedom is completely released, so that the side beam 21 has a good follow-up to the wheelset. The embodiment realizes the flexibility of the frame 20, and the frame 20 can bear a part of the rail distortion, thus reducing the deflection change caused by the rail distortion, so that the bogie frame has good adaptability on both straight rail and curved rail, and is conducive to improving the comfort of passengers.

The end of the connecting beam body 2231 away from the sub-cross beam is provided with a second hinge portion 2234. In the embodiment, the connecting beam main body 2231, the first connecting portion 2232, and the second connecting portion 2233 form a substantially isosceles triangular structure, and the gaps between the first connecting portion 2232 and the side beam 21, and between the second connecting portion 2233 and the side beam 21 can ensure that the cross beam 22 can have a larger rotation amount relative to the side beam 21 and avoid collision between the cross beam 22 and the side beam 21. In addition, the space in the partial gap can be fully utilized to dispose other components on the bogie frame (such as brake caliper hanging seat, etc.).

[0026] In the embodiment, two ends of the cross beam 22 are hinged with the side beam 21, so that the cross beam 22 can have a larger displacement relative to the side beam 21 to improve the flexibility of the frame 20.

[0031] The side beam 21 also includes an anti-roll torsion bar mounting seat 215 that is located on the same side of the side beam 21 as the primary spring mounting seat 212 and is disposed close to the transverse damper seat 214. The anti-roll torsion bar mounting seat 215 is configured to mount the anti-roll torsion bar, and two ends of the anti-roll torsion bar are respectively connected to the anti-roll torsion bar mounting seats 215 on the two side beams 21, so as to prevent head shaking between the vehicle and the bogie frame and ensure the safety of the operation of the vehicle.

[0032] The side beam 21 also includes a secondary spring mounting seat 216 disposed above the first hinge portion 211, and the secondary spring mounting seat 216 is disposed on the other side of the side beam 21 corresponding to the primary spring mounting seat 212.
