Patent

CA 2284204

The invention relates to a rail vehicle which has two wagon bodies (1, 2) coupled via a single axle articulated joint (8), said wagon bodies each placed elastically on a double axle bogie positioned approximately in the longitudinal central area. Control elements are provided to detect the angle of rotation between the wagon bodies (1, 2) and their corresponding bogies (4), and the angle of articulation at the articulated joint (8) as well as controllable actuators for influencing the angle of articulation depending on the control elements. The angle of articulation is regulated to a control value, said control value being the sum of the current actual angle of articulation measured (K-ist) and the bending angle (A1 and A2), in order to be able to minimise the clearance required whilst the railway vehicle is travelling dynamically.

L'invention concerne un véhicule sur rail qui présente deux caisses accouplées (1, 2) par une articulation pivotante (8) à un axe et posées chacune sur un bogie à deux axes disposé approximativement dans la zone centrale longitudinale. Des organes de commande enregistrent l'angle de rotation entre caisse (1, 2) et bogie correspondant ainsi que l'angle de pivotement sur l'articulation pivotante (8) et d'autres actionneurs contrôlables influent sur l'angle de pivotement en fonction des organes de commande. Pour pouvoir réduire le besoin en espace libre en cas de marche dynamique du véhicule sur rail, l'angle de pivotement est réglé sur une valeur de consigne correspondant à la somme de la mesure courante de l'angle de pivotement (K-ist) et des angles de torsion A1 et A2.
