Abstract:
The invention relates to a traction transformer for railbound vehicles comprising: an insulating liquid filled enclosure, at least two windings contained in the enclosure, a transformer core, mounting means for mounting the transformer to the railbound vehicle, wherein the transformer core is arranged outside the enclosure, and wherein the mounting means are attached to the transformer core.
Abstract:
An interface breakdown-proof locomotive roof composite insulator. The composite insulator comprises: a support body; and at least five shed groups arranged side by side along the axial direction that are provided around the sidewall of the support body, the at least five shed groups includes: at least four shed groups located on the upper end with each group including a large shed and a small shed; and at least one shed group located on the undermost end with each group including two small sheds. For such a shed structure, it is favorable to tolerate impulse voltage, and it is difficult for the interface to be broken down; the electric field on the interface even does not exceed 3kV/mm, and even if a gas exists on the interface, it will not break through the interface.
Abstract:
A draining member (1) is inserted into a through-hole formed in a vehicle control device (2) and held in a state protruding from both openings of the through-hole. The draining member (1) is formed of a pair of elastic members extending separately from a connecting location (11) and facing each other across a space. The connecting location (11) has a width smaller than a width of the through-hole. The width between the pair of elastic members facing each other is varied from the connecting location (11) toward the ends of the elastic members, reaching a narrow portion (13) smaller than the width of the through-hole via an increased width portion (12) greater than the width of the through-hole. A leg portion (14) beyond the narrow portion (13) has a maximum width greater than the width of the through-hole. A minimum distance between two locations; one in which the width of the pair of elastic members between the increased width portion (12) and the narrow portion (13) matches the width of the through-hole, and the other in which the width of the leg portion (14) is equal to or greater than the width of the through-hole, is equal to or greater than a threshold value that is greater than a thickness of the housing. When a pressure equal to or greater than a threshold value is applied in a direction for closing the increased width portion (12), the width of the increased width portion (12) becomes smaller than the width of the through-hole.
Abstract:
A railway traction vehicle comprising a plurality of axles, a fuel gas power unit (112), a fuel gas storage assembly (118) including a predetermined number of fuel gas storage modules (122), and a fuel gas delivery network (120). The fuel gas storage assembly (118) comprises a plurality of identical fuel gas storage module receiving devices (124), and, for each of said receiving devices, an identical fuel gas coupling (126) for coupling a module (122) with said network (120). The modules (122) share a standardised configuration such that each of them can be received in any of said receiving devices (124) and coupled to the corresponding fuel gas coupling (126). They are distributed over said fuel gas storage module receiving devices (124) such that the load on the axles is optimised. The predetermined number is adapted to the amount of fuel gas needed by the vehicle to operate on a predetermined railway line. Preferred application to regional passenger multiple units.
Abstract:
A railway car(10) comprises a car body (12), a component (16, 22) fixed to a roof (20) or under the floor (24) of the car body (10) and a housing (18, 26) for enclosing the component (16, 22). The housing (18, 22) comprises at least one transverse panel (28, 30, 32, 24) facing the car body (12) and at least one side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) movable between a closed position in which the side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) closes a volume for the component (16, 22) defined between the transverse panel (28, 30, 32, 34) and the car body (12) and an open position. The housing (18, 26) is provided with securing means (50, 52) for securing the side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) in the closed position. In order to reduce the weight of the housing, the side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) and the transverse panel (28, 30, 32, 34) are made of lightweight material. To achieve further reduction of the weight, the structure (28, 30, 32, 34) is preferably not self-supported in the open position. The securing means (50, 52) are provided between the transverse panel (28, 30, 32, 34) and the side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) in the closed position such that the transverse panel (28, 30, 32, 34), the side flap panel (36, 38, 40, 42) in the closed position and the securing means form a unitary and interacting self-supporting and load-bearing structure
