摘要:
An earthquake-resistant crane including a plurality of girders supported on wheels for movement along rails includes a vertical vibration damping device to ensure safe operation of the crane. The vertical vibration damping device includes a resilient support for supporting the girders in a vertical direction, a vibration direction converting arrangement mounted between the girders and the wheels for converting vertical vibrations of the girders to a horizontal displacement of the wheels, and drive control device connected to the wheels. The vertical vibration damping device operates such that the vertical vibrations of the girders are converted to a horizontal displacement of the wheels to dissipate the energy of vibrations by the sliding friction produced between the wheels and the rails when the wheels move in the horizontal direction, whereby the amplitude of vibrations produced in response to the vertical vibrations of the girders can be reduced.

A vehicle tilt control apparatus has an acceleration detector for detecting vibration in horizontal and lateral direction of a car body, a fluidically operating mechanism disposed between the car body and a truck and compensation circuits for compensating a centrifugal force component and a jolting component, respectively, of the output of the acceleration detector. The outputs of the compensation circuits are added and the resulting output is fed back to actuate a servo valve to control the fluidically operating mechanism. In this manner, the riding comfort to the passengers when the vehicle passes through a curved area and for the jolting is improved.

A vehicle vibration control apparatus in which springs (3A) and (3B) for supporting the vehicle body place in juxtaposition with cylinders (4A) and (4B) for damping the vertical vibrations and a cylinder (4C) for damping the lateral vibrations. The detection signal from the vibration acceleration detectors (5A), (5B) and (5C) are compensated for by compensator circuits (6A), (6B) and (6C), and further amplified by amplifiers (7A), (7B) and (7C) thereby to control the internal pressure of the cylinders (4A), (4B) and (4C) by servo valves (8A), (8B) and (8C). The compensator circuit is comprised in a such manner that the transfer function thereof takes the form of the product of an integration response element, first order lead response elements and first order lag response elements, and therefore the response characteristic of the vehicle body on the vibration acceleration has no peak over a wide range of frequencies.

This invention relates to a superior suppressing of vibration in a car body when a vehicle runs on a straight railroad and a curvilinear railroad. The invention is comprised of a fluid pressure-acting mechanism arranged between the car body and the truck along with springs for positively controlling a force acting between the car body and the truck with the supplied pressure fluid, an acceleration detector for detecting an acceleration of the car body, and means for determining a displacement generated relatively between the car body and the truck under a steady acceleration acting against the car body. The invention further comprises a controller for receiving a vibration suppressing control signal as a control input representing a result of detection of the acceleration detector, and for receiving a value corresponding to a relative displacement between the car body and the truck contained in the vibration suppressing control signal as a result of the determination from the means for determining a relative displacement between the car body and the truck. The controller subtracts this value from the vibration suppressing controlling signal and outputs it as a control signal. The invention further includes a fluid control unit for controlling a fluid pressure to be supplied to the fluid pressure-acting mechanism with a control signal output by the controller, wherein vibration caused by a relative displacement generated between the car body and the truck with a steady acceleration acting against the car body can be presented to improve driving comfort.

A low noise current collector 20 having excellent controllability and response, and a high speed railway train using such current collectors. The current collector 20 includes an aerodynamically shaped current collector head 22, a driving cylinder 32 to move the current collecting head, a supporting insulator 30, and a cable head 50 supporting a conductor 53 for conducting current from current collecting head 22 to a load. The current collector 20 is controlled by a cylinder 7 for raising and lowering so that the current collector may be contained in a dome 4 when it is in use. A multi-car train has four current collectors, two toward each end, and each current collector has its front side directed toward the center of the train. The two current collectors at the rear of the train are utilized, while the two at the front are contained within their domes 4. Therefore, the train can run in either direction, utilizing the appropriate pair of current collectors.

The workability during fabrication of an underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle is improved by reducing the steps of fabrication. An underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle comprises truck enclosures detachably mounted at positions where trucks are mounted in the undersurface of the underframe to enclose the periphery of the trucks, and an enclosure for underfloor equipment for enclosing the sides and lower surface of the underfloor equipment. A method of assembling an underfloor construction of a monorail vehicle comprises mounting a wiring duct and underfloor equipment on the undersurface of an underframe, conducting wiring work between the wiring duct and the underfloor equipment, and thereafter mounting an enclosure for underfloor equipment.

A current collector for a railway trolley vehicle includes a current collecting member having a contact strip, a driving system for moving the current collecting member into and out of contact with a trolley wire, a load cell for detecting force acting between the current collecting member and the driving system, a displacement meter for detecting displacement of the driving system, first and second estimating circuits, and a control circuit. The first estimating circuit provides an estimated value of the contact force between the current collector and the trolley wire by estimating values of first parameters of the contact strip, the current collecting member, and the trolley wire and summing products of each of these values and a corresponding weighting factor. The second estimating circuit provides an estimated value of a disturbance suppressing force by estimating values of second parameters of the contact strip, the current collecting member, and the trolley wire and summing products of each of these values and a corresponding weighting factor. The control circuit calculates a difference force value by subtracting the estimated contact force value and the estimated disturbance suppressing force value from a contact force target value. The control circuit then adjusts a pushing-up force of the driving system on the basis of the calculated force difference value.

A wheelset steering apparatus and method for the truck of railway vehicles, wherein an axle box rotatably provided on the opposite ends of the wheelset is elastically supported in the longitudinal direction as well as in the lateral direction of the truck with respect to a truck frame. Vertical loadings on the truck frame are carried by the axle box. A spring constant in the longitudinal direction of the truck in a state of being elastically supported with respect to the truck frame of the axle box is varied when the vehicle runs. The self-steering property of the wheelset is enhanced, and stability in running on a straight track is secured.
