Abstract

The present invention discloses a freight car bogie and a freight car. The freight car bogie comprises two wheel sets, two side frames arranged at outer side of said wheel sets, and a bolster fixedly connected to center position of each of said two side frames, respectively. The freight car bogie further comprises a K-shaped supporting device, wherein said K-shaped supporting device passes through preset holes on two sides of an abdominal region of said bolster; a first upper end and a second upper end, as well as a first lower end and a second lower end of said K-shaped supporting device are elastically connected with said two side frames respectively; and said first upper end and second upper end, and said first lower end and second lower end are respectively symmetrical with respect to a center line of said bolster. The K-shaped supporting device of the present application may not pass through the middle part of the bolster so that a reinforcing rib for bearing vertical load can be disposed on the middle part of the bolster, thereby increasing the anti-lozenge-distortion rigidity of the bogie as well as improving the strength of the bolster for bearing the vertical load.

Claims (30)

1. A freight car bogie, comprising:

two wheel sets;

two side frames arranged at outer side of said wheel sets; and

a bolster fixedly connected to center position of each of said two side frames, respectively,

wherein the freight car bogie further comprises a K-shaped supporting device, said K-shaped supporting device passes through preset holes on two sides of an abdominal region of said bolster; a first upper end and a second upper end, as well as a first lower end and a second lower end of said K-shaped supporting device are elastically connected with said two side frames respectively; and said first upper end and second upper end, and said first lower end and second lower end are respectively symmetrical with respect to a centre line of said bolster, and

wherein said K-shaped supporting device comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod, wherein one end of said first connecting rod is said first upper end, one end of said second connecting rod is said first lower end, two ends of said third connecting rod are said second upper end and said second lower end respectively, and the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod are elastically connected with a middle part of the third connecting rod, respectively.

2. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein each of said two side frames is fixedly provided with two support brackets which are symmetrical with respect to the centre line of said bolster, and said first upper end and second upper end, as well as said first lower end and second lower end are elastically connected with four support brackets, respectively.

3. The freight car bogie according to claim 2 , wherein said four support brackets are welded or riveted with said side frames.

4. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein a plane in which the K-shaped supporting device is positioned is close to and parallel with a plane in which center lines of axles of said two wheel sets are positioned.

5. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein said bolster is provided with a reinforcing rib in a middle part thereof, and said reinforcing rib is positioned in a middle position between the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of said bolster.

6. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein said third connecting rod has a through hole in the middle part thereof, for accommodating the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod therein, so that the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod overlap with each other.

7. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic connection is a bolted connection among a screw hole, a bolt and a nut, and a cotter pin is inserted below said nut to prevent the bolt from loosening.

8. A freight car, comprising a car body and a bogie, wherein the bogie is said freight car bogie in claim 1 .

9. The freight car bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of said bolster do not pass through a central part of the bolster and keep a certain distance with the central part.

10. A freight car bogie, comprising:

two wheel sets;

two side frames arranged at outer side of said wheel sets; and

a bolster fixedly connected to center position of each of said two side frames, respectively,

wherein the freight car bogie further comprises a K-shaped supporting device, said K-shaped supporting device passes through preset holes on two sides of an abdominal region of said bolster; a first upper end and a second upper end, as well as a first lower end and a second lower end of said K-shaped supporting device are elastically connected with said two side frames respectively; and said first upper end and second upper end, and said first lower end and second lower end are respectively symmetrical with respect to a centre line of said bolster, and

wherein the preset holes on two sides of the abdominal region of said bolster do not pass through a central part of the bolster and keep a certain distance with the central part.

11. The freight car bogie according to claim 10 , wherein each of said two side frames is fixedly provided with two support brackets which are symmetrical with respect to the centre line of said bolster, and said first upper end and second upper end, as well as said first lower end and second lower end are elastically connected with four support brackets, respectively.

12. The freight car bogie according to claim 11 , wherein said four support brackets are welded or riveted with said side frames.

13. The freight car bogie according to claim 12 , wherein said K-shaped supporting device comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod, wherein one end of said first connecting rod is said first upper end, one end of said second connecting rod is said first lower end, two ends of said third connecting rod are said second upper end and said second lower end respectively, and the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod are elastically connected with a middle part of the third connecting rod, respectively.

14. The freight car bogie according to claim 11 , wherein said K-shaped supporting device comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod, wherein one end of said first connecting rod is said first upper end, one end of said second connecting rod is said first lower end, two ends of said third connecting rod are said second upper end and said second lower end respectively, and the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod are elastically connected with a middle part of the third connecting rod, respectively.

15. The freight car bogie according to claim 14 , wherein said third connecting rod has a through hole in the middle part thereof, for accommodating the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod therein, so that the other end of said first connecting rod and the other end of said second connecting rod overlap with each other.

16. The freight car bogie according to claim 14 , wherein the elastic connection is a bolted connection among a screw hole, a bolt and a nut, and a cotter pin is inserted below said nut to prevent the bolt from loosening.
