Abstract

A chassis frame for rail vehicles includes two longitudinal beams and at least one transverse beam which is disposed between the longitudinal beams and hinged thereto. The longitudinal beams are designed in a bent shape and extend through a corresponding cutout of the transverse beam.

Claims (13)

1. An undercarriage frame for rail vehicles, comprising:

two longitudinal members, and

a transverse member arranged between the two longitudinal members,

wherein the transverse member is connected to the longitudinal members in an articulated manner, and

wherein the longitudinal members are implemented in a curved shape and project through a recess of the transverse member.

2. The undercarriage frame as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

connecting elements arranged between the longitudinal members and the transverse member, wherein the connecting elements are implemented as a spring stage.

3. The undercarriage frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the connecting elements between the longitudinal members and the transverse member are implemented such that they

absorb driving or braking torques, and

limit a pitch angle of traction motors and of the transverse member.

4. The undercarriage frame as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

secondary springs arranged at least partially over the longitudinal members.

5. The undercarriage frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a lifting-off of the longitudinal members from the connecting elements is prevented by a particular geometric shape of the recess of the transverse member.
