The present invention relates to railway transportation equipment, in particular to a freight car bogie and a freight car.
Currently, a freight car generally includes a car body, a bogie, a brake rigging, a coupler draft gear, etc. The bogie is used for supporting the car body, guiding the freight car to run along rails, and bearing various loads from the car body and the rails. The most common bogie in the railway freight car is a three-piece two-axle bogie, which includes a bolster, two side frames, two wheel sets, a spring damper device and a brake rigging.
However, the anti-lozenge-distortion rigidity of the three-piece two-axle bogie is low, and the critical speed during curve negotiation is not high. Aiming at the above disadvantages of the three-piece two-axle bogie, a cross-braced type three-piece two-axle bogie is commonly adopted. An elastic crossing rod connection is additionally arranged between two side frames of this cross-braced type three-piece two-axle bogie, thereby increasing the capability of resisting displacement between the two side frames, and improving the anti-lozenge-distortion rigidity of the bogie. Currently, a central cross-braced type three-piece two-axle bogie is mainly applied in the freight car.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a freight car bogie and a freight car. A K-shaped supporting device passing though preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of a bolster is adopted, and it may not pass through the middle part of the bolster so that a reinforcing rib for bearing vertical load can be disposed on the middle part of the bolster, thereby increasing the anti-lozenge-distortion rigidity of the bogie as well as improving the strength of the bolster for bearing the vertical load.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a freight car bogie, which comprises two wheel sets, two side frames arranged at outer side of the wheel sets, and a bolster fixedly connected to center position of each of the two side frames, respectively. The freight car bogie further comprises a K-shaped supporting device, wherein the K-shaped supporting device passes through preset holes on two sides of an abdominal region of the bolster; a first upper end and a second upper end, as well as a first lower end and a second lower end of the K-shaped supporting device are elastically connected with the two side frames respectively; and the first upper end and second upper end, and the first lower end and second lower end are respectively symmetrical with respect to a centre line of the bolster.
In the freight car bogie, each of the two side frames is fixedly provided with two support brackets which are symmetrical with respect to the centre line of the bolster, and the first upper end and second upper end, and the first lower end and second lower end are elastically connected with four support brackets, respectively.
In the freight car bogie, the four support brackets are welded or riveted with the side frames.
In the freight car bogie, a plane in which the K-shaped supporting device is positioned is close to and parallel with a plane in which center lines of axles of the two wheel sets are positioned.
In the freight car bogie, the bolster is provided with a reinforcing rib in a middle part thereof, and the reinforcing rib is positioned in a middle position between the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster.
In the freight car bogie, the K-shaped supporting device comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod, wherein one end of the first connecting rod is the first upper end, one end of the second connecting rod is the first lower end, tow ends of the third connecting rod are the second upper end and the second lower end respectively, and the other end of the first connecting rod and the other end of the second connecting rod are elastically connected with the middle part of the third connecting rod, respectively.
In the freight car bogie, the third connecting rod has a through hole in the middle part thereof, for accommodating the other end of the first connecting rod and the other end of the second connecting rod therein, so that the other end of the first connecting rod and the other end of the second connecting rod overlap with each other.
In the freight car bogie, the elastic connection is a bolted connection via a screw hole, a bolt and a nut, and a cotter pin is inserted below the nut to prevent the bolt from loosening.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention further provides a freight car, which comprises a car body and a bogie, wherein the bogie is the freight car bogie as mentioned above.
As can be seen from the above technical solution, by adopting the K-shaped supporting device passing through the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster, the freight car bogie and the freight car of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
1. the present invention can prevent the bogie from the lozenge distortion by adopting the K-shaped supporting device, and thereby improve the running stability of the car;
2. the present invention optimizes the structure of the bolster since the K-shaped supporting device passes through the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster, and improves the strength of the bolster for bearing the vertical load by additionally arranging the reinforcing rib in the middle part of the bolster; and
3. the present invention reduces the deadweight of the whole freight car due to the use of the reinforcing rib.
The technical solution of the invention will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
The present invention provides a freight car bogie, which comprises two wheel sets, two side frames arranged at outer side of the wheel sets, and a bolster fixedly connected to the center positions of the two side frames. The freight car bogie further comprises a K-shaped supporting device, wherein the K-shaped supporting device passes through preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster; a first upper end and a second upper end, as well as a first lower end and a second lower end of the K-shaped supporting device are elastically connected with the two side frames respectively; and the first upper end and the second upper end, as well as the first lower end and the second lower end are respectively symmetrical with respect to the centre line of the bolster. The present invention can prevent the bogie from the lozenge distortion by adopting the K-shaped supporting device passing through preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster, and thereby improve the running stability of the car. The present invention optimizes the structure of the bolster with the aid of the K-shaped supporting device passing through the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of the bolster, so that the K-shaped supporting device does not pass through the middle part of the bolster, and a structure, which can improve the strength of the bolster for bearing the vertical load, is additionally arranged in the middle part of the bolster. Thereby, the present invention reduces the deadweight of the whole freight car without the requirement of increasing the wall thickness of the bolster. Accordingly, the present invention can change the vertical and the horizontal dynamic performance of the car, improve the curve negotiation performance, increase the motion critical speed of the bogie, reduce the wear between wheel and rail, etc.
