Rail vehicle with roll stabilizer
A rail vehicle includes at least one running gear and at least one anti-roll stabilizer which is connected to two different vehicle parts of the rail vehicle. The anti-roll stabilizer includes a torsion shaft disposed on a vehicle part transversally to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, levers anti-rotationally disposed on the torsion shaft at both sides of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a respective draw/push rod for each lever. Each lever is articulatingly connected to one end of the draw/push rod and the draw/push rod is articulatingly connected at its other end to the other vehicle part. In order to reduce the dynamic forces on the draw/push rods in the oblique configuration thereof, imaginary extensions of the draw/push rods intersect at a point which lies approximately on the axis of rotation of the outward rotational movement of the running gear.
1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a vehicle body;
a longitudinal vehicle axis and a longitudinal vehicle direction;
at least one running gear experiencing an outward rotational movement having an axis of rotation; and
at least two anti-roll stabilizers connected to said running gear and said vehicle body, each of said at least two anti-roll stabilizers including:
a torsion shaft disposed on one of said running gear or said vehicle body and extending transverse to said longitudinal vehicle direction;
levers anti-rotationally mounted on said torsion shaft along said longitudinal vehicle axis; and
draw/push bars each having one end articulatingly connected to a respective one of said levers and another end articulatingly connected to the other of said vehicle parts;
said draw/push bars having imaginary extensions intersecting at a point lying on said axis of rotation of said outward rotational movement of said running gear, in at least one loading state of the vehicle.
2. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said loading state is full load.
3. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said draw/push bars are disposed at an angle of between 2° and 10°.
4. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a longitudinal vehicle axis and a longitudinal vehicle direction;
at least one running gear experiencing an outward rotational movement having an axis of rotation; and
a plurality of different anti-roll stabilizers provided for each running gear and connected to two different vehicle parts of the rail vehicle, each said plurality of different anti-roll stabilizers including:
a torsion shaft disposed on one of said vehicle parts and extending transverse to said longitudinal vehicle direction;
levers anti-rotationally mounted on said torsion shaft along said longitudinal vehicle axis; and
draw/push bars each having one end articulatingly connected to a respective one of said levers and another end articulatingly connected to the other of said vehicle parts;
said draw/push bars having imaginary extensions intersecting at a point lying on said axis of rotation of said outward rotational movement of said running gear and said imaginary extensions intersect said axis of rotation of said outward rotational movement of said running gear at different points, in at least one loading state of the vehicle.
5. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a longitudinal vehicle axis and a longitudinal vehicle direction;
at least one running gear experiencing an outward rotational movement having an axis of rotation; and
at least two anti-roll stabilizers provided for each running gear and connected to two different vehicle parts of the rail vehicle, each said at least two anti-roll stabilizers including:
a torsion shaft disposed on one of said vehicle parts and extending transverse to said longitudinal vehicle direction where said torsion shafts of said anti-roll stabilizers are disposed in parallel;
levers anti-rotationally mounted on said torsion shaft along said longitudinal vehicle axis; and
draw/push bars each having one end articulatingly connected to a respective one of said levers and another end articulatingly connected to the other of said vehicle parts;
said draw/push bars having imaginary extensions intersecting at a point lying on said axis of rotation of said outward rotational movement of said running gear where said imaginary extensions of all of said draw/push bars of said anti-roll stabilizers intersect at a point lying on said axis of rotation of said outward rotational movement of said running gear, in at least one loading state of the vehicle.
