Assembly having an undercarriage unit
An assembly for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes an undercarriage unit having at least one first wheel set supported on a track and a main body supported on the first wheel set. The main body has a coupling mechanism for mechanically coupling to at least one car body of the vehicle. At least one first driving motor for driving the first wheel set, at least one power supply unit for supplying the driving motor with electrical power and at least one inverter unit are provided. The power supply unit is disposed at least partially in a region of the undercarriage unit in order to permit the undercarriage unit of the assembly to be expanded with regard to the functionalities of the undercarriage unit.
1. An assembly for a vehicle or a rail vehicle, the assembly comprising:
an undercarriage unit having at least one first wheel set to be supported on a track, a main body supported on said at least one first wheel set, and a coupling mechanism for mechanical coupling to at least one car body of the vehicle;
at least one first driving motor for driving said at least one first wheel set; and
at least one power supply unit for supplying said at least one first driving motor with electric power, and at least one inverter unit, said at least one power supply unit having at least one component disposed in a region of said undercarriage unit;
a mounting unit for mounting said at least one component;
a suspension unit, said at least one component being sprung at least against said at least one first wheel set by said suspension unit, said suspension unit having a spring device, said mounting unit being sprung against said main body by said spring device.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said spring device and said at least one power supply unit form parts of a vibration absorber unit.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one first driving motor is mounted on said mounting unit.
4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said mounting unit is carried by said main body.
5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said mounting unit is hung from said main body by said spring device.
6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said mounting unit is supported by the at least one car body of the vehicle.
7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said undercarriage unit has a middle region disposed along a direction of travel of the vehicle, and said at least one power supply unit is disposed at least partly in said middle region.
8. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said undercarriage unit supports two car bodies of the vehicle.
9. The assembly according to claim 1 , which further comprises:
at least one brake device coordinated with said undercarriage unit; and
a control unit disposed at least partly in a region of said undercarriage unit for controlling said at least one brake device.
10. The assembly according to claim 1 , which further comprises:
a sensor unit for detecting at least one characteristic quantity of said undercarriage unit; and
an evaluation unit at least partly disposed in a region of said undercarriage unit for evaluating said characteristic quantity.
11. The assembly according to claim 9 , which further comprises:
a sensor unit for detecting at least one characteristic quantity of said undercarriage unit; and
an evaluation unit at least partly disposed in said region of said undercarriage unit for evaluating said characteristic quantity;
at least one of said control unit or said evaluation unit being at least partly a component of said at least one power supply unit.
12. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a first car body; and
an assembly according to claim 1 .
