ES2220155B1 - FUNCTIONAL WHEEL TRAIN. - Google Patents

Abstract

Functional wheel train. It consists of a double bypass needle with auxiliary blade (1) and its corresponding wheel train (2), which allows transit between special width tracks, such as Spain and Portugal, (1,672 mm.) And those of standard or European width (1,443 mm.) With absolute safety and without loss of speed.

Description

Functional wheel train.

The present invention relates to a needle of diversion with auxiliary leaf and its corresponding wheel train that allow transit without loss of speed and with absolute security between countries that do not share the same track gauge, as is the case in Spain and Portugal with the other countries in Europe and especially with those of the European Economic Community.

Background of the invention

The Railways as a whole  fixed -infrastructure and mobile material- is characterized by the movement of special vehicles with steel wheels provided with guide tabs that circulate on parallel rails also made of steel.

The fundamental parameter that constitutes a Rail system is the track gauge.

The economy and efficiency of a transport to medium or long distance presupposes troubleshooting vehicle exchange between different rail systems, is say, between different track widths.

Therefore it is necessary to unify the characteristic dimensional parameters of both the horn and rolling stock, which for reasons political-strategic did not achieve the protocol of Bern in 1907.

Description of the invention

The needle is the mobile part of the mechanism called diversion, which operated manually or with telemechanisms determines the passage of a convoy in the direction of the direct route or in the derivative.

The double needle with auxiliary blade object of this invention allows to be able to transfer from one way to another when these are wide routes to any measure without loss of speed.

In this needle the angle of the sheet depending on the country and the needs it requires.

With this mechanism you should not change no needles in Europe although in Spain they should be replaced for which object of the patent.

As for the design of the taxiways or trains of Wheels, a single wheel re-growth is performed with a single wheel bevel intermediate that allows the transfer section to perform the change without noticing any annoying rattle.

This transfer segment must not be inferior  at 4 mtr., taking into account that the outer road (the widest) it must be installed both higher and millimeters vary the wheel exterior of the interior.

All machine mechanical systems tractor and vehicles do not vary; not even your braking systems  since the mechanisms continue to stop in the same unit of wheel train, already inside or outside.

Brief description of the drawings

For the best understanding of how much is left described herein are accompanied by planes of both needles Like wheel trains.

In these drawings, figure 1 corresponds to the double needle with auxiliary blade, which allows the transfer of One way to another I am selling wide roads.

In Fig. 2 a normal needle is seen, which is used in Europe and in Sword. With this system it would have to be replaced in Spain as designed in Fig. 1

The plane of Shooting, 5 with double wheel to circulate through all types of tracks. Wheel diameters may vary depending on convenience.

The transfer step is detailed in Fig. 4 from wide to european.

Claims (3)

1. Dimensional unification of any width of track through bypass needle and rolling stock, which allows with the use of the bypass needle with auxiliary blade (1) and the train  of wheels designed and invented for this purpose (3) go from a width of inferior (European) to a superior (Spanish) and vice versa, without loss of speed or security. 2. Dimensional unification of any track width through bypass needle and rolling stock, according to claim 1, characterized by the regrowth of the wheel train (3) in line with the bypass needle with auxiliary blade (2). 3. Dimensional unification of any track width through bypass needle and rolling stock, according to claim n. 1, characterized by the fact of the bypass needle with auxiliary blade, recreated according to the needs of the wheel train that allow the passage of a track from one width to another track of different width in a simple, fast and safe way.
