Abstract

The invention provides a bogie which comprises a bolster, two side frames and four constant contact dampers, two sides of two ends of the bolster are respectively provided with a wedge pocket; the four constant contact dampers are respectively arranged in four wedge pockets, and each of the four constant contact dampers comprises a wedge and a damping spring; the damping spring is arranged in an inner cavity of the wedge; one end of the damping spring bears against a top inner surface of the inner cavity of the wedge, and the other end of the damping spring bears against a bottom plate of the wedge pocket, wherein the bogie further comprises four through holes and four ejectors which respectively correspond to the four constant contact dampers; the through holes are arranged on the bottom plate, and the position of each of the four through holes on the bottom plate corresponds to the position where the damping spring bears against the bottom plate and a load spring of the bogie; and one end of the ejector penetrates into the damping spring, and the other end of the ejector bears against the load spring through the through hole. The bogie of the present invention solves the technical problem that the deformation of the damping springs keeps constant whether a car is empty or loaded in the prior art, and thus improves the damping effect of the bogie.

Claims (9)

1. A bogie, comprising a bolster, two side frames, four constant contact dampers, and four load springs, wherein two sides of two ends of the bolster are respectively provided with a wedge pocket having a bottom plate; the four constant contact dampers are respectively arranged in four wedge pockets above the bottom plate and the four load springs are respectively arranged below the bottom plate, and each of the four constant contact dampers comprises a wedge and a damping spring; the damping spring is arranged in an inner cavity of the wedge; one end of the damping spring bears against a top inner surface of the inner cavity of the wedge, and the other end of the damping spring bears against the bottom plate of the wedge pocket;

wherein the bogie further comprises four through holes arranged on the bottom plate and four ejectors which respectively correspond to the four constant contact dampers;

the position of each of the four through holes on the bottom plate corresponds to the position where the damping spring bears against the bottom plate and the load spring of the bogie is located; and

one end of the ejector penetrates into the damping spring through the through hole, and the other end of the ejector bears against the load spring.

2. The bogie of claim 1 , wherein the load spring comprises an inner spring and an outer spring, and the inner spring is embedded inside the outer spring.

3. The bogie of claim 2 , wherein the other end of the ejector bears against the inner spring and/or the outer spring.

4. The bogie of claim 1 , wherein a predetermined distance between said one end of the ejector and the top inner surface of the inner cavity of the wedge is reserved when a car is empty.

5. The bogie of claim 1 , wherein the load spring is compressed to bear against the other end of the ejector and said one end of the ejector bears against the top inner surface of the inner cavity of the wedge when the car is loaded.

6. The bogie of claim 1 , wherein the ejector has a solid cylindrical body and a solid disc at a lower end of the cylindrical body, an upper portion of the cylindrical body penetrates into the damping spring, and the solid disc of the ejector bears against the load spring.
