As shown in FIGS. 1-5, a bolster 2 of a bogie according to embodiment I of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 1. A traction pin 23 is arranged in the middle of a lower side of the bolster 2, and the bolster 2 is connected with a transverse beam of a frame (see below) through the traction pin 23. The bolster 2 connected with the transverse beam of the frame through the traction pin can achieve a rotary motion between the bolster 2 and the transverse beam of the frame. Preferably, the traction pin 23 is provided with an elastic pin sleeve 231, so as to achieve a connection structure without lubrication. Continuing to refer to FIGS. 1 to 5, a third suspension connected with the vehicle body is arranged above the bolster 2, and a secondary suspension connected with the transverse beam of the bogie is arranged below the bolster 2. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-5, the third suspension uses a first air spring 21 as a supporting member, specifically, above the bolster 2, a first air spring 21 is arranged at the left end and the right end of the bolster 2 respectively; the secondary suspension uses a plurality of first laminated rubber piles 22 as supporting member, namely under the bolster 2, two first laminated rubber piles 22 are arranged at each of two ends of the bolster 2. The bolster 2 is used as a foundation for installing and bearing other components, and the secondary suspension and the third suspension are connected to the bolster 2.


As shown in FIGS. 6-9, and with reference to FIGS. 1-5, a bogie using the bolster 2 of the present invention comprises a frame 1 and a bolster 2. As shown in FIGS. 10-13, the frame 1 is H-shaped, comprises two side beams 11 parallel to each other and the transverse beam 12 connected to the middles of the side beams 11, the middles of the side beams 11 are recessed into a U-shape to form concave portions for mounting the bolster 2, and a primary suspension is arranged between each of both ends of each side beam 11 and the rotating arm axle box 31, and a secondary suspension is arranged between a lower side of the bolster 2 and the transverse beams 12, and a third suspension connected with the vehicle body (not shown in the figures) is arranged on an upper side of the bolster 2. In the present embodiment, the primary suspension includes an axle box spring 3 and a primary vertical damper 32, both of which are arranged between the rotating arm axle box 31 and the frame 1, wherein the axle box spring 3 is a double coil steel spring, and is placed at the top of the rotating arm axle box 31, and the upper half of the spring extends into a spring seat of the side beam 11 of the frame 1, a rubber pad is provided between the bottom of the spring 3 and the top of the rotating arm axle box 31 so as to absorb impact and high frequency vibration from the rail. The function of the primary vertical damper 32 is to reduce the vibration from the rail, which is a common design and will not be described herein. The present invention is characterized in that a two-stage suspension connection is provided between the vehicle body and the frame, that is, a third suspension that is arranged on the upper side of the bolster 2 and connected to the vehicle body, and a secondary suspension that is arranged between the lower portion of the bolster 2 and the transverse beam 12, to achieve functional separation. Specifically, the third suspension is only used to undertake a transverse displacement function, and the secondary suspension is only used to undertake a rotation function, thereby increasing an allowable transverse displacement and relative rotation angle between the vehicle body and the bogie when the vehicle passes through a curve, and thus improving curve passing capability of the vehicle. Wherein the secondary suspension is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the bolster 2, and correspondingly, the upper surface of the transverse beam 12 of the frame 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting seats 122 for mounting the secondary suspension.


For the bolster shown in FIGS. 1-5 and the bogie shown in FIGS. 6-9, the third suspension adopts a first air spring 21 as a supporting member, the first air spring ensures that the height of the vehicle remains unchanged, and a height adjusting valve 261 is arranged beside the first air spring 21. The vehicle body is supported by four air springs on a front bogie and a rear bogie. In addition to support the load of the vehicle body, these air springs are mainly used to isolate vibration the frame of the bogie, and achieve transverse displacement between the vehicle body and the bogie by deformation in the process of passing a curve. The first air spring 21 is a conventional technical means in the art and is not described in detail herein. However, the supporting member of the third suspension is not limited to be first air spring 21, and the first air spring 21 can be replaced by a laminated rubber pile, a spiral steel spring or any combination thereof. A person skilled in the art can also use any one of the air spring, laminated rubber pile and spiral steel spring or any combination thereof, as the supporting member of the third suspension, see the embodiments below.


Similarly, in the present embodiment, the secondary suspension includes a plurality of first laminated rubber piles 22, wherein the first laminated rubber piles 22 can be replaced with the air spring, the laminated rubber pile or the spiral steel spring, or any combination of the laminated rubber pile, the air spring and the spiral steel spring, see the embodiments below.


In this embodiment, the secondary suspension adopts the laminated rubber piles to bear forces in all directions and then attenuates part of the vibration by damping characteristic of the rubber, thereby playing a role of suspension. The main function of the secondary suspension is to undertake rotation function of the vehicle body and the bogie when the vehicle passes through a curve. Due to an alternate arrangement of the metal plate and the rubber in the laminated rubber piles, the laminated rubber piles can provide great vertical stiffness and minimal horizontal stiffness; and reduce rotation stiffness between the frame 1 and the bolster 2 and thus facilitates the bogie to pass through a curve. Meanwhile the great vertical stiffness will provide sufficient lateral roll stiffness for the bogie, so that flexibility coefficient of the bogie meets the overall requirement of the bogie. In order to avoid instability after excessive horizontal displacement of the laminated rubber piles, transverse spans of the laminated rubber piles should be reduced as much as possible on the premise of satisfying rolling performance of the vehicle. When the vehicle passes through a curve, due to large radial deformations of the laminated rubber piles, the bolster 2 (and the vehicle body connected with the bolster) has relatively large rotational movement relative to the frame 1, improving the curve passing capability of the vehicle.


In order to transfer the longitudinal load between the vehicle body and the bogie, in this embodiment, a Z-shaped traction rod 27 is arranged between the vehicle body and the bolster, as shown in FIG. 1, and a traction pin 23 is arranged between the bolster 2 and the frame 1. As shown in FIGS. 10-12, a traction pin hole 120 is formed in the middle of the transverse beam 12 of the frame 1, and correspondingly, as shown in FIGS. 1-9, the traction pin 23 is arranged in the middle of the lower side of the bolster 2, the bolster 2 is connected with the transverse beam 12 through the traction pin 23, and the traction pin 23 is sleeved with an elastic pin sleeve 231. The elastic pin sleeve 231 is in a laminated metal-rubber structure. As a preferred embodiment, an elastic pin hole sleeve 121 is arranged on the traction pin hole 120, and the pin hole sleeve 121 can also be a laminated metal-rubber structure. In this way, a pin connection is formed between the traction pin 23 and the traction pin hole 120, and the design goal of bogie having no lubrication point is achieved, which can meet the requirements of small rotation stiffness, small vertical stiffness (axial stiffness), and great longitudinal and transverse stiffness (radial stiffness), reduce the effect on rotation between the frame 1 and the bolster 2 of the bogie, and provide the transmission of longitudinal and transverse loads. The Z-shaped traction rod, forming a Z-shape when seeing from a top view, comprises two traction rods 27, which are located at two ends of the bolster 2 respectively. In order to install the traction rods 27, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the two ends of the bolster 2 are respectively provided with a first mounting seat 271, two ends of each traction rod 27 are provided with a rubber node, one end of each traction rod 27 is arranged on a corresponding first mounting seat 271, the other end is connected with the vehicle body (not shown) by the rubber node. Thus, a transmission sequence of a longitudinal force (traction force or braking force) is as follows: (wheel-rail adhesion) wheel→axle→rotating arm axle box→rotating arm positioning seat→frame→traction pin (third suspension)→bolster→traction rod→traction rod seat→vehicle body→coupler.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a transverse buffer 24 is arranged in the middle of one side of the bolster 2, the transverse buffer 24 is in an open shape, and two opposite stop side surfaces thereof are respectively provided with a buffer rubber 241. A stop (not shown) connected with the vehicle body is located inside the transverse buffer 24, and keep a set distance with the two stop side surfaces. The function of the transverse buffer 24 is to limit an excessive transverse displacement between the vehicle body and the bogie, and when the transverse displacement between the vehicle body and the bogie exceeds the set distance, the stop connected with the vehicle body is in contact with the buffer rubber 241 on one of the stop side surfaces of the transverse buffer 24, and then a reverse compression force is generated, which can limit the transverse displacement of the vehicle. The buffer rubber has a non-liner performance, and its stiffness is gradually increasing with the increase of deflection. The buffer rubber 241 of the transverse buffer 24 can provide limiting and buffering when the vehicle body is subjected to a small transverse force.


In addition, referring to FIG. 1, a central pin hole 29 is formed in the middle of the upper side of the bolster 2, and is used for accommodating a rigid stop pin (not shown) arranged in the center of a bolster of the vehicle body. The rigid stop pin arranged in the center of the bolster of the vehicle body is welded on the bolster of the vehicle body and can be inserted into the central pin hole 29 in the center of the bolster 2 of the bogie, and there is always a certain gap kept between the rigid stop pin and the central pin hole in longitudinal direction and vertical direction during normal operation of the vehicle, and no contact occurs. When the vehicle is subjected to a large longitudinal force (for example, when two vehicles collide), the rigid stop pin of the bolster of the vehicle body is in contact with the central pin hole 29 on the bolster 2 so as to limit the separation of the vehicle from the bogie. When the vehicle is subjected to a large transverse force, the transverse buffer 24 is elastically compressed, and then the rigid stop pin will be in contact with the central pin hole 29 so as to limit an overlarge transverse displacement of the vehicle. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, strength of the structure of the stop pin should be such that the structure does not break when the vehicle is subjected to an impact force of 250,000 pounds (113397.5 kg) in the event of collision, derailment and the like.


In order to achieve the purpose of vibration reduction, dampers are generally arranged in multiple directions in a suspension system. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, two transverse dampers 25 are oppositely arranged on one side of the bolster 2, one end of each transverse damper 25 is connected with the bolster 2, and the other end of each transverse damper 25 is connected with the bottom (not shown) of the vehicle body, and the function of the transverse dampers is to attenuate transverse vibration between the vehicle body and the bogie. The transverse dampers 25 and the transverse buffer 24 are located on opposite two sides of the bolster 2 respectively.


Meanwhile, in order to further reduce vibration in vertical direction, two ends of the bolster 2 are respectively provided with a secondary vertical damper 26, the secondary vertical damper 26 is arranged beside corresponding first air spring 21. Two secondary vertical dampers are opposite to each other and diagonally symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the bolster 2 and are arranged in vertical direction, with the function of attenuating vertical vibration between the vehicle body and the bogie. In addition, an orifice is formed between an airbag chamber and an additional air chamber, inside the first air spring 21, and the flow of air through the orifice between the two chambers can also be used for attenuating the vertical vibration between the vehicle body and the bogie.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the bogie of embodiment I further comprises an anti-yaw damper 28, one end of the anti-yaw damper 28 is arranged on the first mounting seat 271, and the other end is connected with the side beam 11 of the frame 1. The anti-yaw damper 28 that is arranged between the bolster 2 and the frame 1 can prevent yaw instability of a multiple-unit train during high-speed running. The anti-yaw damper 28 is a component frequently used in a high-speed multiple-unit train design, and its structure will not be described in detail herein.


The bogie of embodiment I further comprises a foundation brake device, and the foundation brake device comprises a tread brake unit and a disc brake unit. As shown in FIG. 10, two ends of each side beam 11 are respectively provided with a disc brake mounting seat 13 for mounting the disc brake unit, and an inner side of the concave portion of each side beam 11 is provided with two tread brake mounting seats 14 for mounting the tread brake unit. The tread brake unit and the disc brake unit are brake units commonly used in the field, and in the present embodiment, mounting positions of them are set according to the structure of the frame 1. Furthermore, the disc brake unit is used in combination with the tread brake unit, and the tread brake unit can improve adhesion between the wheel and the track and reducing running noise.


When the bogie is a power bogie, as shown in FIG. 10, motor hanging seats 18 and gearbox hanging seats 17 are arranged on the front side and the rear side of the transverse beam 12, both the motor hanging seats 18 and the gearbox hanging seats 17 are box-shaped welded structures, have the advantages of high strength and light weight. In order to reduce the weight, the motor hanging seats 18 and the gearbox hanging seats 17 of the present embodiment are welded structures. In fact, the motor hanging seats 18 and the gearbox hanging seats 17 can also be formed by forgings or castings.


Regarding the structure of the bolster 2, the bolster 2, as a load transfer member of the third suspension and the secondary suspension, integrates mounting interfaces of all components of the third suspension and the secondary suspension, and in the prior art, the bolster has three structural modes, steel plate welded structure, integral cast steel structure and integral cast aluminum structure respectively. In this embodiment, preferably, the bolster 2 adopts a box-shaped structure formed by welding a steel plate and internally provided with an internal rib plate. After completion of welding, the bolster 2 is integrally annealed and integrally machined to form a hollow box-shaped structure, as shown in FIG. 9.

An outer side of each side beam 11 is provided with an anti-yaw damper mounting seat 16 for mounting the anti-yaw damper. Referring to FIG. 6, one end of the anti-yaw damper 28 is connected with the anti-yaw damper mounting seat 16 on the side beam 11, and the other end is connected with the first mounting seat 271 on the bolster 2.
