(54) RAIL VEHICLE BOGIE AND RAIL VEHICLE
(71) We, GYRO MINING TRANSPORT
LIMITED, a British Company of Hellaby
Industrial Estate, Hellaby, Nr. Rotherham,
Yorkshire (formerly of 24 Eastgate, Barnsley,
Yorkshire), do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to a rail vehicle bogie and to rail vehicles incorporating such bogies, particularly, though not exclusively for a rail vehicle powered by one or more linear motors, with the necessary reaction plate mounted at track level and the motor proper carried by the vehicle, or vice-versa, or indeed incorporating combinations of these motor/reaction plate dispositions.
According to the present invention there is provided a rail vehicle bogie comprising a frame, and four rail engaging, flanged wheels, of which a leading and a trailing wheel are located at each side of the bogie and each have an axis of rotation extending laterally with respect to the direction of travel of the bogie, power means to adjust the position of the axes of rotation with respect to the frame a trapping wheel located at each side of the bogie intermediate the leading and trailing wheels, and at least one brake pad carried by the frame and adapted to engage/disengage a rail upon activation of the power means to cause lowering/raising the frame to bring the one or more pads into engagement/disengagement with the or each rail.
The invention also includes a rail vehicle provided with bogies as defined above.
Thus the invention provides a bogie suspension unit combined with brake unit for parking or emergency use on the rail track within trapping facility to avoid or reduce de-railment.
At least a portion of each trapping wheel is preferably located outboard of the bogie.
It is also preferred for each rail engaging wheel to be carried on an arm pivotally attached at one point to the frame about a suspension axis, and pivotally attached at another point to the power means. Preferably, a common power means extends between the arms of each pair of leading and trailing wheels and conveniently one power means is located at each side of the bogie.
Preferably, such power means extends generally horizontally and conveniently is a piston and cylinder unit, preferably hydraulically actuated, with the rod of the piston pivotally attached to one arm and cylinder of the unit pivotally attached to the other arm, the position of the piston within the cylinder determining the degree of rotation of the arms about their suspension axes and hence the suspended position of the frame with respect to the rail track. Thus extension of the piston and cylinder unit can be arranged to rotate the arms about the suspension axes so as to raise the frame with respect to the- rail track with retraction of the piston and cylinder lowering the frame.Therefore, when it is desired to brake the bogie and hence the rail vehicle, the hydraulic fluid is exhausted from the piston and cylinder unit to retract the piston rod into the cylinder so that the full weight of the bogie and the rail vehicle mounted thereon may be applied via the one or more pads to the or each rail. Preferably the hydraulic fluid is applied to the full bore side of the piston and cylinder unit to raise the frame to the "brake-off" position, at least one compression spring surrounding the piston rod on the annulus side and bearing on the piston head with the spring rating and fluid pressure being selected to give the required suspension height.However, first and second compression springs are preferably employed such that when the bogie is fully loaded, e.g. when supporting a rail vehicle fully loaded with passengers, only the first spring is operative, but when passengers alight from what was a fully loaded rail vehicle the frame rises slightly with simultaneousextension of the piston until the second spring additionally becomes operative to limit the rise of the frame by halting further piston extension. Preferably, a single brake pad, which may be of steel with or without friction material lining, is located on the frame between each pair of leading and trailing wheels on each side of the bogie, to engage the head of the rail.
In addition to providing a parking and/or emergency brake, the bogie may also incorporate service brakes. These may comprise arcuate brake shoes pivotally suspended, directly or indirectly from the frame, to bear on the peripheries of the conventional, flanged rail wheels. Preferably, a service brake piston and cylinder unit is located on each side of the bogie and extends between leading and trailing service brake shoes intended respectively to brake the leading and trailing wheels. Preferably one end of the brake cylinder is attached to one brake shoe and the other end to the other brake shoe so that brake cylinder is disposed generally horizontally and preferably has a line of action passing through the suspension axes of the rail wheels.Conveniently the service brake shoes are suspended from pivot points co-axial with points of attachment of the pivot arms to the track brake and suspension piston and cylinder unit, and the service brake piston and cylinder units are also preferably hydraulically actuated. As the conventional rail wheel has a frusto-conical rail engaging periphery, the laterally outward reaction on the service brake shows, when applied, may be countered by providing each service brake with a laterally directed retention stud. Displacement of the service brakes between on and off positions need only be small e.g. one sixteenth of an inch. A light spring may be provided in the annulus side of the service brake piston and cylinder unit to ensure that the service brakes clear the wheels upon release of the fluid pressure from the service brake piston and cylinder unit.
The trapping wheels may be rotatable about generally vertical axes to engage a trapping bar provided at one, or preferably both, sides of the conventional rails e.g. at.
bends or depressions of a mine floor for instance, to ensure maintenance of contact of the rail wheels with the rails.
Also, the bogie in its above described form has been merely a rail vehicle suspension bogie displaceable by a locomotive.
However another preferred feature is to make the bogie a drive bogie by incorporating drive means within the bogie to propel the bogie along the rails. The drive means may take the form of a conventional rotary electric motor or a hydraulic motor conneeted to some or all the rail wheels of the bogie, or a linear motor. When employing the latter, in contrast to prior art proposals where one linear motor element has been mounted on the rail vehicle, the critical air gap between the one element i.e. the motor and the other element, i.e. the reaction plate, can be maintained with greater accuracy. It is convenient to mount the motor-basically a series of windings e.g. of 6 ft. length and 1 ft. width-beneath the bogie, and the reaction plate between the rails.When using a linear motor(s) it will be appreciated that service brakes are not essential, for at any forward speed, one may throw the motor immediately into reverse without damage.
With hydraulic motor drive, or rotary electric motor drive, the power output shaft of the motor may be parallel, but is preferably co-axial, with the axis of rotation of the rail wheel involved. For negotiating inclines, the drive wheel(s) may be provided with co-axial sprockets which are normally inoperative but at an incline engage a rack bar provided alongside the rails.
One or both the bogies of a rail vehicle may be drive bogies. Power for the motor may be by providing the rail vehicle, or one rail vehicle of a train, with a diesel electric generating set, the latter driving electric motors, hydraulic pumps etc., as required.
The invention will now be further described by way of examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a diagrammatic side elevation of the first embodiment of bogie in accordance with the invention, in a first operative position,
Figure 2 corresponds to Figure 1, but shows the- bogie in a second operative position,
Figure 3 corresponds to Figure 1 but shows the bogie in a third operative position,
Figure 4 is a detailed plan view, partly in section of one side of the bogie of
Figures 1 to 3,
Figure 5 is a detailed sectional view through the bogie of Figures 1 to 4, but also showing additional equipment,
Figure 6 is a diagrammatic side elevation of part of a second embodiment of bogie in accordance with the invention,
Figure 7 is a diagrammatic side elevation of part of the third embodiment of bogie in accordance with the invention, and
Figure 8 is a section on the line VIII- VI1II of Figure 7.
In all embodiments, like components have been given like reference numerals.
In the drawings, a bogie 1, comprises a frame 2 and, at each side of the bogie, leading and trailing wheels 3, each wheel having a flange 4 and a frusto-conical rail engaging periphery 5. Flat bottom rails 6 with a head 7 are mounted on sleepers 8 to provide a conventional rail track. Each wheel 3 has an axis of rotation 9 extending laterally with respect to the direction of travel of the bogie along the rails 6, and each is mounted on a support arm 10 pivotally attached about the suspension axis 11 to the frame 2. The arms 10 at each side of the bogie are pivotally connected about axes 12 to a common power means constituted by a hydraulic piston and cylinder unit 13, operation of which displaces the arms 10 about the axes 1I and hence displaces the wheel rotation axes 9 with respect to the bogie 1.The piston and cylinder unit 13 comprises a cylinder 14, a piston rod 15 and a piston 16 separating a full-bore side 17 from an annulus side 18, and in the latter are located a first compression spring 19 and a second compression spring 20. At each side of the frame 2 and between the leading and trailing wheels 3, is carried a brake pad 21 with a lining 22 of friction rnaterial, the lining 22 being engageable with the rail head 7 to act as a track brake for parking or emergency purposes, upon exhaustion of fluid from the track brake and suspension hydraulic unit 13.In Figure 1 the bogie is one of two supporting a fully loaded rail vehicle, one bogie being provided at or towards each end of the rail vehicle in convention manner, and the fluid pressure in the full-bore side 17 and area over which the fluid acts and the rating of the first spring 19 are so selected that the brake pad 16 has a clearance of approximately 2 inches from the rail head 7, the first spring 19 being partially compressed and the second spring 20 being uncompressed.
Figure 2 shows the condition where the rail vehicle is unloaded. The load differential between fully loaded and unloaded conditions is compensated for by instituting a balancing load against the fluid pressure in full-bore side 17 by the first spring 19 continuing to be compressed and the second spring 20 beginning to be compressed. Again a balance is obtained by suitably selecting the rating of spring 20 and the brake pad 21 rises to approximately 2- inches above the rail head 7.
In Figure 3 is shown a condition with the brake pad 21 applied to the rail heads 7, fluid having been exhausted from the -track brake and suspension hydraulic unit 13, so that the arm 10 rotate about the axes 11 and the wheel rotation axes 9 are displaced with respect to the bogie 1.
Figure 4 shows details of the wheels 3 and that each support arm 10 terminates in a clevis 23, which is apertured for the passage of a pivot pin 24.
As shown in Figure 5, from the frame 2 of the bogie 1 is suspended on four arms 25, a motor unit 26 of a linear motor, a reaction plate 27 being located between the rails 6 on the sleepers 8 Power for the windings of the motor unit 26 is provided for instance, by a diesel-electric generating set carried by a rail vehide (not shown) mounted on bogies 1, or one of the rail vehicles of a train. Also shown in
Figure 5, intermediate the leading and trail -ing wheels 3 at each side of- the bogie is a trapping wheel 28 rotatable about a vertical axis, the periphery of which trapping wheel 28 engages a channel section trapping bar 29 supported from an arm 30 carried by sleepers 8A interposed between sleepers 8.
Trapping bar 29 has an upper flange 31 located. along the axis of rotation 9 of the wheels 3 and adapted to engage wheels caps 32 e.g. at curves in the- rail 6, to assist in guiding the bogie 1 around the curve.
In Figure 6 are indicated service brakes 33, each comprising a shoe 34 adapted to engage periphery 5 of each wheel 3. Each service brake 33 is pivotally suspended from the arm 10 about the axis 12 and a common service brake piston and cylinder unit 35, pivotally attached at 36, extends between the service brake 33 on each side of the bogie, the line of action of the unit 35 passing through the axes 11. Each service brake 33 is provided with a retention stud 37 to counter laterally outward forces on the service brakes 33 due to the frusto-conical nature of the wheel peripheries 5.
In Figures 7 and 8, is shown one hydraulic motor 38 which has its output shaft 39 co-axial with the axis of rotation of at least one wheel 3. Conveniently the motor receives fluid from a pump actuated by an electric motor mounted in a rail vehicle carried by a bogie 1 or from a dieselelectric generating set mounted in the rail vehicle. Each drive wheel 3 is provided with sprockets 40, co-axially attached to the or each drive wheel 3. to engage a rack unit 41 provided along side the rails 6 at an incline or decline, for increased traction effect.
As an alternative to receiving electric power from a diesel-electric generating set carried by the rail vehicle suspended on bogies in acordance with the invention, electrical power- may be provided by locating à pressurised conduit containing bus bar and having a flexible seal along side the rails 6 or overhead, and extending from the rail vehicle or bogie a pick up arm e.g. carrying pantographs, to pick up current from such a conduit. Again, the rail vehicle may incorporate a gyro unit adapted to be rotated to operating speed electrically e.g.
at a "safe" location in a coal mine, the gyro thereafter being used to generate electrical energy for the bogie drive purposes, whereby motors at the wheels and/or by linear motors and/or hydraulic pumps- may be operated.
