Abstract

The invention relates to an air spring control device (1) for a rail vehicle bogie having two air springs, the air spring control device (1) comprising a pressure difference compensation valve (2), a medium-pressure valve (3), and a return valve (4). Two compressed air ports (7, 8) are provided and are designed for connection to one air spring (9, 10) each and conduct the air spring pressure to one port each of the differential pressure compensation valve (2) and of the medium-pressure valve (3). A medium pressure that can be generated by the medium-pressure valve (3) is conducted to a medium-pressure port (6) and one of the air spring pressures is conducted to a return valve (4), which is connected at its output to a return valve port (5).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for influencing the kinematic behavior of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle with at least one friction brake system, wherein a brake effect is generated by pressing at least one first friction element (1) and a second friction element (2) against each other. In order to achieve advantageous method conditions, at least temperatures (TS) at least of the first friction element (1) are calculated at least from information on a speed, a brake pressure (p), and an external temperature (TU) of the vehicle and on absolute times (t), and a heat conduction through the at least first friction element (1) and a speed-dependent cooling process of the at least one first friction element (1) are taken into consideration during the calculation. The kinematic behavior of the vehicle is influenced on the basis of said calculation. Advantageously, expensively fitting the friction brake system with sensors for measuring friction element temperatures can be omitted, and the thermal state of the friction brake system can still be estimated with a high degree of precision.

Abstract

The invention relates to a running gear for a rail vehicle, having at least one first wheel pair (2) or at least one first wheelset and having active wheel control or wheelset control. In order to to create advantageous design conditions, according to the invention, at least one actuator unit (4) and at least one passive elastic bearing (5) having frequency-dependent and amplitude-dependent static and increased dynamic stiffness are arranged on the running gear in effective parallel connection with the actuator unit (4), the actuator unit (4), loaded quasi-statically, exerts an actuating function on the position, and in particular on the location of the first wheel pair (2) or the first wheelset, and the elastic bearing (5) couples the first wheel pair (2) or the first wheelset with a dynamic stiffness. The separation between the generation of the dynamic stiffness and the positioning of the first wheel pair (2) or the first wheelset results in the advantage that the actuator unit (4) can be implemented compactly and economically. The actuator unit does not fulfill any safety-critical functions and therefore, in the design and validation of the actuator unit's control and software, no safety-relevant aspects have to be taken into account. This results in a particularly economic solution.

Abstract

The invention relates to a track clearer for a rail vehicle, comprising a track clearer bar (1) and at least two elongated spring elements (2, 2'), the longitudinal extension of which runs parallel to a vertical direction (Z) in the operating state. The spring elements (2, 2') are rigidly connected to a chassis frame (7) of the rail vehicle at one side, and the track clearer bar (1) is connected to the spring elements (2, 2') via a connection means (3) at the other side. The aim of the invention is to achieve particularly good structurally dynamic properties and to prevent horizontal vibrations in the longitudinal direction (X) as much as possible. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the center of mass (M) of the track clearer is arranged within a distance (D) to a vertical plane (E) which runs through the geometric center of gravity (S 2,S 2 ') of the spring elements (2, 2'). The distance (D) is between 0% and 40%, preferably between 0% and 25%, in particular between 0% and 15%, of the width (B) of the track clearer bar (1), said distance being measured normally to the vertical plane (E).
