Chassis frame with spring cup
A chassis frame for a bogie of a rail vehicle which includes at least one longitudinal member having an upper chord and a lower chord, wherein the longitudinal member has at least one end portion, a central portion, and a transition portion lying between the end portion and the central portion, and the end portion of the longitudinal member is formed as a spring cup for receiving a primary spring, where in order to improve the rigidity curve between the spring cup and the transition portion the lower chord is provided with a curvature in the region of the transition portion, where the curvature is formed such that the imaginary extension of the lower chord and the upper chord itself or the imaginary extension of the upper chord intersect in the end portion.
1. A chassis frame for a bogie of a rail vehicle, comprising:
at least one longitudinal member having an upper chord, a lower chord, at least one end portion, a central portion, and a transition portion lying between the end portion and the central portion, said end portion of the longitudinal member being formed as a spring cup for receiving a primary spring suspension;
wherein the lower chord has a curvature in a region of the transition portion, which is configured such that an imaginary extension of the lower chord and the upper chord itself or an imaginary extension of the upper chord intersect in the end portion;
wherein the spring cup comprises (i) a spring base for receiving the primary spring suspension and (ii) a jacket for enclosing sections of the primary spring suspension;
wherein the jacket of the spring cup has at least one continuation which contacts at least in sections with a section of the lower chord having the curvature;
wherein the at least one continuation of the spring cup contacts the lower chord in a non-curved section which faces the central portion of the longitudinal member.
2. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an end of the lower chord and an end of the upper chord enclose an angle which is in a region of 60° up to 90°.
3. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal member has a first cross-section which is box-shaped at least in sections in the transition portion.
4. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal member has a first cross-section which is box-shaped at least in sections in the transition portion.
5. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal member has a first cross-section formed as an I-profile at least in sections in the transition portion.
6. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal member has a first cross-section formed as an I-profile at least in sections in the transition portion.
7. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower chord forms the jacket of the spring cup at least in sections.
8. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper chord forms the spring base.
9. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring base is a plate-shaped element which is connected at least to the upper chord.
10. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the spring base has a forked connection section for connection to the upper chord and the lower chord.
11. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the angle is in a region of 70° up to 90°.
12. The chassis frame as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the angle is in a region of 80° up to 90°.
