Description
1i 2612145 La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'accrochage,1i 2612145 The present invention relates to a hanging device,
adaptable plus particulièrement sur des boggies ferroviaires, pour permettre un accouplement entre deux remorques de transport routier, par exemple entre des remorques de camions ou de semi-remorques, équipées de manière a pouvoir etre utilisées aussi bien more particularly adaptable on railway bogies, to allow coupling between two road transport trailers, for example between truck trailers or semi-trailers, equipped so as to be able to be used as well
en tant que transports routiers que transports ferroviaires. as road transport as rail transport.
Actuellement, il existe un mode très répandu de transport de remorques par voie ferroviaire qui consiste a charger chaque remorque Currently, there is a very common method of transporting trailers by rail which involves loading each trailer
sur un wagon ferroviaire, connu sous le nom de wagon 'Poche". on a railcar, known as a "Pocket" car.
Par suite de l'impossibilité d'adapter le gabarit limite ferroviaire au gabarit routier, ce mode de transport impose de gros sacrifices en ce qui concerne le volume ainsi que le nombre des remorques routières qui peuvent etre transportées par voie ferroviaire. En fait, un convoi ferroviaire de cinq cent mètres de longueur, réalise au moyen de wagons du type "Poche', ne peut transporter, au plus, que trente remorques, alors que, si l'on utilise le dispositif selon l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un convoi de meme longueur mais comprenant Due to the impossibility of adapting the railway limit gauge to the road gauge, this mode of transport imposes great sacrifices with regard to the volume as well as the number of road trailers which can be transported by rail. In fact, a rail convoy of five hundred meters in length, produced by means of wagons of the "pocket" type, can transport, at most, only thirty trailers, whereas, if the device according to the invention is used, it is possible to make a convoy of the same length but including
trente-sept remorques.thirty-seven trailers.
En outre, avec les wagons du type "Poche", les remorques qui peuvent etre chargées, bien qu'adaptées pour la route, doivent avoir un gabarit majeur d'exploitation qui est toutefois inférieur au gabarit In addition, with wagons of the "Pocket" type, the trailers which can be loaded, although suitable for the road, must have a major operating gauge which is however less than the gauge
limite des transporteurs routiers.limit of road carriers.
Tous ces inconvenients précites et d'autres encore peuvent etre élimines par l'utilisation du dispositif d'accrochage faisant l'objet de la présente invention, qui peut etre adapté sur un boggie ferroviaire traditionnel, permet l'accouplement entre des wagons ou des remorques de camions semi-remorque équipes de manière adéquate, et permet la formation d'un convoi ferroviaire, compose de remorques pourvues d'un organe d'entrainement et d'un organe entraine, en effectuant des All these aforementioned drawbacks and others can be eliminated by the use of the attachment device which is the subject of the present invention, which can be adapted on a traditional railway bogie, allows coupling between wagons or trailers. of semi-trailer trucks adequately equipped, and allows the formation of a railway convoy, composed of trailers provided with a drive member and a driven member, by performing
opérations d'accrochage extrêmement simples. extremely simple hanging operations.
Afin de mieux préciser les différences qui existent entre un convoi forme en utilisant le dispositif selon la présente invention et un convoi utilisant des wagons du type Poche' ou des wagons similaires, on peut dire que, dans ce dernier convoi, chaque remorque doit etre obligaoirement adaptée pour ce mode de transport et occupe un wagon complet, alors que, dans le cas d'une utilisation de la présente invention, chaque wagon est constitué par une remorque prééeequipee qui est soutenue par des boggies ferroviaires préalablement pourvus du dispositif d'accrochage. In order to better specify the differences which exist between a convoy formed using the device according to the present invention and a convoy using wagons of the pocket type or similar wagons, it can be said that, in this last convoy, each trailer must be obligatorily suitable for this mode of transport and occupies a complete wagon, whereas, in the case of a use of the present invention, each wagon is constituted by a pre-equipped trailer which is supported by railway bogies previously provided with the hooking device.

En outre, en utilisant ce dispositif conforme a la présente invention, on élimine en soi l encombrement du au fort gabarit des roues des transports routiers ainsi que l'épaisseur du chassis du wagon ferroviaire qui était nécessaire avec le mode connu de transport de remorques, si bien que le niveau du plan du chassis de chaque remorque se trouve abaissé, sans avoir notamment a remettre en question la configuration de la remorque en fonction du gabarit limite ferroviaire, ce qui est plus rationnel que d'avoir i supprimer les angles latéraux du In addition, by using this device in accordance with the present invention, the bulk due to the large size of the wheels of road transport as well as the thickness of the chassis of the rail car which was necessary with the known mode of trailer transport is eliminated. so that the level of the chassis plane of each trailer is lowered, without having in particular to question the configuration of the trailer according to the railway limit gauge, which is more rational than having to remove the lateral angles of the
dessus de sa caisse comme il était nécessaire auparavant. above his chest as it was necessary before.
En définitive, la présente invention fournit un dispositif d'accrochage ou d'accouplement dynamique, adaptable sur des boggies ferroviaires traditionnels et permettant d'accoupler des remorques de transport routier pour former un convoi ferroviaire, ce dispositif étant remarquable par le fait qu'il comprend une boite de palier faisant corps avec une rotule inférieure portée par les boggies et comportant un élément central ayant un perçage vertical dans lequel est engagé un pivot, cet élément central comportant des sièges latéraux dans lesquels peut coulisser un bras de soutien et d'accouplement conformé de manière a loger un dispositif central d'amortissement et pourvu, à son extrémité libre opposée a la boite de palier, de deux oreilles latérales percées chacune d'un trou transversal adapté pour permettre l'engagement d'un pivot de fixation, l'agencement entre la boite de palier et le bras étant tel que ceux-ci peuvent effectuer des déplacements angulaires, indépendemment l'un de l'autre, dans un plan horizontal autour du pivot, ainsi que des oscillations dans un plan vertical autour de tourillons portés par la boite de palier et disposés suivant un axe horizontal dans les côtes Ultimately, the present invention provides a dynamic coupling or coupling device, adaptable to traditional railway bogies and making it possible to couple road transport trailers to form a rail convoy, this device being remarkable in that it comprises a bearing box integral with a lower ball joint carried by the bogies and comprising a central element having a vertical bore in which a pivot is engaged, this central element comprising lateral seats in which can slide a support and coupling arm shaped so as to house a central damping device and provided, at its free end opposite the bearing box, with two lateral ears each pierced with a transverse hole adapted to allow the engagement of a fixing pivot, the arrangement between the bearing box and the arm being such that they can make angular displacements, independently of one of the tre, in a horizontal plane around the pivot, as well as oscillations in a vertical plane around trunnions carried by the bearing box and arranged along a horizontal axis in the ribs

On décrira maintenant la constitution du dispositif, conforme A l'invention, en relation avec les figures 2 à 8, afin de mieux comprendre les manoeuvres nécessaires pour former un convoi ferroviaire comprenant des remorques routières montées sur boggies, comme représenté schématiquement dans les figures la a le, note étant prise toutefois, comme on le voit dans la figure lc, qu'une paire de boggies ferroviaires traditionnels 1 est pourvue d'un palier central 2 ou butée de support adaptée pour recevoir une contrebutee 3 pourvue d'un trou central 4, comme We will now describe the constitution of the device, according to the invention, in connection with FIGS. 2 to 8, in order to better understand the maneuvers necessary to form a railway convoy comprising road trailers mounted on bogies, as shown diagrammatically in FIGS. a the, note being taken however, as seen in Figure lc, that a pair of traditional railway bogies 1 is provided with a central bearing 2 or support stop adapted to receive a buttress 3 provided with a central hole 4, like

Cette boite de palier 6 comporte un siège supérieur 8 et un siège inférieur 8' dans lesquels sont engages respectivement des coussinets 9 et 9' qui encadrent un élément central 11, lequel est traverse, ainsi que ces coussinets, par un axe vertical 10 constituant un pivot. Cet élement central 11 comporte des sièges de glissement latéraux 12 et des arrets ou butées supérieures 13 faisant corps avec lui. Cette boite de palier 6 renferme, en outre, un bras d'accouplement 14, engage par son ouverture 6', et dont l'extrémité est sous forme d'une glissière logeant l'élément central 11, si bien que celui-ci, par ses sièges latéraux 12, disposés verticalement, permet a ce bras de coulisser horizontalement. La partie médiane du corps 15 de ce bras 14 renferme un ensemble élastique 16 d'amortissement qui est adapté pour compenser les à-coups de traction ou de recul. Pour ce faire, il est constitué d'un arbre horizontal 17, fixe en 18 dans l'élément central 11 et sur lequel sont engages des éléments amortisseurs 19 en caoutchouc ou autre matière, cet ensemble d'amortissement 16 permettant un mouvement horizontal du bras 14 par rapport à l'élément central 11 qui est fixe, afin de compenser dans 26i2145 une certaine mesure les effets brusques d'une accéleration ou d'une This bearing box 6 comprises an upper seat 8 and a lower seat 8 'in which are engaged respectively the pads 9 and 9' which frame a central element 11, which is crossed, as well as these pads, by a vertical axis 10 constituting a pivot. This central element 11 comprises lateral sliding seats 12 and upper stops or stops 13 integral with it. This bearing box 6 also contains a coupling arm 14, engaged by its opening 6 ', and the end of which is in the form of a slide housing the central element 11, so that the latter, by its side seats 12, arranged vertically, allows this arm to slide horizontally. The middle part of the body 15 of this arm 14 contains an elastic damping assembly 16 which is adapted to compensate for jolts of traction or recoil. To do this, it consists of a horizontal shaft 17, fixed at 18 in the central element 11 and on which are engaged damping elements 19 of rubber or other material, this damping assembly 16 allowing a horizontal movement of the arm 14 relative to the central element 11 which is fixed, in order to compensate in 26i2145 to some extent for the sudden effects of an acceleration or a
décélération du convoi ferroviaire. deceleration of the railway convoy.
La partie médiane du corps 15 du bras est prolongée au-delà de l'ensemble élastique 16 par.une partie d'extremité fourchue constituée par deux oreilles 20 percées chacune d'un trou 21 transversal adapte pour l'introduction d'un axe ou pivot 22, support' par la traverse avant du chassis d'une remorque comme représente dans les figures 7 et 8. Les pivots 22 sont commandés dans leur mouvement d'introduction ou de retrait The middle part of the body 15 of the arm is extended beyond the elastic assembly 16 by a forked end part constituted by two ears 20 each pierced with a transverse hole 21 suitable for the introduction of an axis or pivot 22, support 'by the front crossmember of the chassis of a trailer as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The pivots 22 are controlled in their movement of introduction or withdrawal
des trous 21 par des volants 23.holes 21 by flywheels 23.
Il est évident que le chassis de toute remorque devant etre utilisée aussi bien sur route que sur voie ferrée doit comporter dans ses traverses antérieure et postérieure des montages adaptés pour recevoir respectivement l'une ou l'autre des extremites de fixation du dispositif d'accrochage conforme à l'invention comme on le voit distinctement dans les figures 5 a 8. A noter que la boite de palier 6, comme représentee dans les figures 4 et 5, comporte deux tourillons 24 ayant leur axe disposé It is obvious that the chassis of any trailer to be used both on the road and on the railway must have in its front and rear crosspieces assemblies adapted to receive respectively one or the other of the fixing ends of the hooking device. according to the invention as seen clearly in Figures 5 to 8. Note that the bearing box 6, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, has two pins 24 having their axis disposed
horizontalement et perpendiculairement a l'axe longitudinal du bras 14. horizontally and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the arm 14.
Ces tourillons sont adaptes pour etre introduits dans le montage rapporte de la traverse postérieure du chassis d'une remorque. Cette traverse comporte, comme on le voit dans les figures 5 et 6, une enclave ou cavite 25 pourvue dans chacun de ses deux cotes latéraux d'une coulisse d'accouplement 26 ayant une assise inférieure 27 de fermeture et d'autocentrage de tourillon. Ainsi, lorsqu'une remorque doit être accouplée sur des boggies, les coulisses 26 de la traverse postérieure de son chassis s'engagent sur les tourillons 24 de la boite de palier 6 du dispositif d'accrochage supporte par ces boggies, meme si ces coulisses 26 ne sont pas tout a fait dans le même plan horizontal ou vertical que ces tourillons 24 puisque la boite de palier 6 peut pivoter angulairement sur ces derniers dans un plan vertical, ainsi que dans un These pins are suitable for being introduced into the mounting assembly of the rear cross member of the chassis of a trailer. This cross member comprises, as can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, an enclave or cavity 25 provided in each of its two lateral dimensions with a coupling slide 26 having a lower seat 27 for closing and self-centering of the journal. Thus, when a trailer must be coupled to bogies, the slides 26 of the rear crossmember of its chassis engage on the pins 24 of the bearing box 6 of the hooking device supported by these bogies, even if these slides 26 are not quite in the same horizontal or vertical plane as these pins 24 since the bearing box 6 can pivot angularly on the latter in a vertical plane, as well as in a
plan horizontal autour de son pivot 10. horizontal plane around its pivot 10.
De la meme manière, le bras 14 peut pivoter angulairement dans un plan horizontal autour du pivot 10 par l'intermédiaire de l'éelement central 11 qui permet en outre a ce bras de coulisser longitudinalement si bien que, par suite de ces mouvements, la manoeuvre In the same way, the arm 14 can pivot angularly in a horizontal plane around the pivot 10 by means of the central element 11 which also allows this arm to slide longitudinally so that, as a result of these movements, the maneuver
d'accouplement peut être facilitée. mating can be facilitated.
On décrira maintenant, en relation avec les figures la A le, les manoeuvres nécessaires à l'accrochage d'une remorque de transport We will now describe, in relation to the figures A, the maneuvers necessary for the attachment of a transport trailer
routier dans un convoi ferroviaire.truck in a rail convoy.
Comme on le voit dans les figures la et lb, une remorque As seen in Figures la and lb, a trailer
26121452612145
routière 28 posée sur ses béquilles est prise en charge et soulevée par le palonnier d'une grue pour etre tout d'abord dépourvue de son train de roues arrière, lequel reste stocke sur le lieu de chargement en vue d'une opération inverse de montage sur une autre remorque au déchargement d'un 28 placed on its crutches is supported and lifted by the lifting beam of a crane to be first of all deprived of its rear wheel set, which remains stored at the loading site for a reverse assembly operation on another trailer when unloading a
autre convoi.another convoy.
La remorque est alors transportée par la grue au dessus d'une voie ferrée sur laquelle se trouve en attente un wagon de queue préalablement équipé à l'avant de boggies 2 pourvus d'un dispositif d'accrochage conforme à la présente invention comme on le voit dans la figure lc. La remorque 28, ayant toujours ses béquilles avant déployées, est alors descendue avec sa traverse arrière de chassis a l'aplomb des tourillons 24 sur les boggies 2 jusqu'à ce que ces tourillons pénètrent dans les coulisses d'accouplement 26 à autocentrage fixées dans la cavité The trailer is then transported by the crane over a railway track on which there is waiting a tail wagon previously equipped at the front with bogies 2 provided with a hooking device according to the present invention as is see in figure lc. The trailer 28, still having its front crutches deployed, is then lowered with its rear cross member of the chassis perpendicular to the pins 24 on the bogies 2 until these pins penetrate the self-centering coupling slides 26 fixed in the cavity
de la traverse arrière.of the rear crossmember.
A ce stade, comme représente dans la figure Id, la remorque 28 reposant par sa partie avant sur ses béquilles est libére du palonnier de la grue et une paire de boggies, pourvus du dispositif d'accrochage, est alors roulee en direction de l'avant de cette remorque jusqu'à ce que les oreilles 20 de l'extrémite fourchue du bras 14 viennent s'engager dans le siège de la traverse antérieure du chassis de la remorque ou elle seront fixées par les pivots 22 commandes en pénétration et bloqués par At this stage, as shown in FIG. Id, the trailer 28 resting by its front part on its crutches is released from the crane lifter and a pair of bogies, provided with the hooking device, is then rolled in the direction of the front of this trailer until the ears 20 of the forked end of the arm 14 engage in the seat of the front cross member of the chassis of the trailer or they will be fixed by the pivots 22 controls in penetration and blocked by
les volants 23.the steering wheels 23.
A ce stade, la remorque accrochée se trouve dans la position de la figure le, ses béquilles étant rentrées, et une autre remorque peut alors etre accouplée sur les boggies qui viennent d'etre At this stage, the hooked trailer is in the position of the figure le, its crutches being retracted, and another trailer can then be coupled on the bogies which have just been
accroches à l'avant de la remorque 28. hooks on the front of the trailer 28.
De la description qui précède, on peut déduire que toutes From the above description, we can deduce that all
les remorques utilisées doivent avoir une constitution de chassis un peu plus complexe que celle d'une remorque normale, puisqu'il faut prévoir un train de roues amovibles ainsi qu'une structure d'attaches plus robustes pour la fixation de l'accouplement mais, qu'étant donné que l'on réduit le nombre de boggies nécessaires pour un châssis de remorque, on peut considérer qu'une quantité de boggies moitié moindre de celle qui est nécessaire actuellement peut suffire pour assurer une bonne gestion du the trailers used must have a slightly more complex chassis construction than that of a normal trailer, since it is necessary to provide a train of removable wheels as well as a structure of more robust attachments for fixing the coupling but, that given that we reduce the number of bogies necessary for a trailer chassis, we can consider that a quantity of bogies half less than what is currently necessary may be sufficient to ensure good management of the
trafic.traffic.
En outre, si l'on utilise des boggies ayant des roues de neuf-cent-vingt millimètres de diamètre, on peut envisager une charge de vingt tonnes par essieu. Partant de la, avec seulement deux essieux par véhicule, on peut transporter une charge de trente-quatre tonnes (sans compter le poids propre des boggies ferroviaires) qui, additionnées au In addition, if we use bogies with wheels nine hundred and twenty millimeters in diameter, we can consider a load of twenty tonnes per axle.
