摘要:
A light rail unit train combination for the transport of bulk materials consisting of a plurality of connected cars open at each end except for the first and last cars, which have end plates. The train forms a long open trough and has a flexible flap attached to each car and overlapping the car in front to prevent spillage during movement. The lead car has four wheels and tapered side drive plates in the front of the car to facilitate entry into the drive stations. The cars that follow have two wheels with a clevis hitch connecting the front to the rear of the car immediately forward. Forward motion is provided by a series of appropriately placed drive motors on either side of the track which are AC electric motors with drive means to provide frictional contact with said side drive plates. An AC inverter and controller is connected to every pair of drive motors whereby said motors are synchronized and both the voltage and frequency can be modified as needed. The electric motors each turn a tire in a horizontal plane that physically contacts two parallel side drive plates external of the wheels of each car. Pressure on the side drive plates by these drive tires converts the rotary motion of the tires into horizontal thrust. The wheels on the cars are spaced to allow operation in an inverted position by use of a double set of rails so the cars can hang upside down for unloading. By rotating this double track system the unit train can be returned to it normal operating condition.

The invention relates to an idler wheel arrangement for rail vehicles, consisting of a wheel (2) rotatably mounted on an axle stub (4) of an axle (6), in particular of a cranked straddle axle, and having an inside (12) facing the axle (6) and an opposite outside (16) and of holding means for three functional devices, specifically for an earth-contact arrangement (18), a transmitter arrangement (20) of an anti-slip device and a braking device (22). The holding means having a carrier element (24) fixedly connected on the end face to the axle stub (4) on the outside (16) of the wheel (2). The carrier element (24) has reception means for fixed components (18a, 20a, 22a) of all three functional devices (18, 20, 22), the wheel (2) being assigned reception means for correspondingly associated components (18b, 20b, 22b), rotating with the wheel (2), of the three functional devices (18, 20, 22), in adaptation to the arrangement of the fixed components (18a, 20a, 22a).
摘要:
A mobile carriage system includes a pair of spaced, parallel end rails fixed to a support surface, often with one or more intermediate rails fixed to the support surface and located parallel to and between the pair of end rails. At least one carriage is supported for movement on the end and intermediate rails. The carriage includes an elongated frame that spans all of the rails. At least two drive units, each including a pair of wheels and supporting the carriage on a different one of the rails are provided. The drive units are operatively connected to a drive shaft which extends across a plurality of the rails. The drive shaft and each of the drive units are coupled by a drive gear on the shaft which has a first effective diameter and a driven gear on the drive unit, which has a second effective diameter substantially greater than the first effective diameter. Thus, the drive units minimize torsion twisting of the drive shaft during use. A source of rotational power such as an electric motor is operatively connected to the drive shaft.

A traveling cleaner (12) for a textile manufacturing plant, the carriage of which has a carrying structure (18) supported on three running wheels (1, 2, 3). The running wheels (1, 2, 3) are suspended on wheel suspension units (20) and are arranged in a triangle in relation to one another, in such a way that the first running wheel (1) runs on a first rail (14) and the second running wheel (2) and the third running wheel (3) run one behind the other on a second rail (16). The rails (14, 16) form a runway (10) for the traveling cleaner (12) and are arranged next to one another above textile machines of the textile manufacturing plant.

Angular and axial offsets between the motor vehicle rotor (3) and transmission pinion (6) are intended to be compensated by a coupling which can be mounted in an easy manner. According to the invention, a curved teeth coupling (9) is mounted between the motor shaft (4) and the pinion shaft (6) and includes a first coupling section (10) with internal tooth system and a second coupling section (11) with external tooth system, whereby the first coupling section (10) is securely connected to the pinion shaft (6) and the second coupling section (11) is securely connected to the motor shaft (4). The coupling sections (10, 11) can easily be pushed into each other, when the motor (2) is mounted onto the transmission (1).
摘要:
A drive bogie includes axles, a chassis and a device for driving each axle, including a motor, a reduction gearbox and a transmission coupling between the motor and the reduction gearbox, with a support mechanism being provided to allow the vehicle to support the drive device. The support mechanism for supporting the drive device comprises a suspension for suspending the reduction gearbox from the body of the vehicle, the suspension being articulated to the reduction gearbox or to the body, a device for articulating the motor to the chassis of the bogie about a roughly horizontal axis, and a device for connecting the motor to the reduction gearbox, the connecting device being articulated both to the motor and to the reduction gearbox. Thus, most of the mass of the reduction gearbox and of the motor is suspended vertically from the body of the vehicle.
