Railway Shaft Assembly 5 TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a railway axle assembly, which has application in the railway industry, and more specifically in the field of devices and installations that allow an automated change of the distance between the wheels of the vehicle, to its
10 passing through a fixed or changing facility, in order to adapt said railway vehicle for its circulation on railway tracks with different track widths. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
15 Currently, track width change systems are known that allow passengers to be transshipped at borders where lines with different track widths converge, as in the case of the Spanish-French border where there is a different width between tracks of the Iberian Peninsula (1668 mm) and European tracks (1435 mm).
20 According to these systems, the railway units incorporate a device for transferring the wheels of their axles. Also, the system comprises a fixed installation or changer mounted between the tracks of different width. The operation of changing the wheelbase is carried out automatically, without human intervention, when the train passes over said installation in a series of phases that follow each other continuously and can
25 be summarized as follows. In the first phase, the wheels of their vertical loads are released; in the second, the wheel axle assemblies are released from a lateral locking mechanism that keeps them in their rolling position; in the third, the wheels, freed from their vertical load and from their lateral blockage, enter oblique guides that, when advancing the vehicle, move the wheels laterally to their new position of
30 taxiing, according to the new track width; in the fourth and fifth phase, the wheel assemblies are laterally re-locked and their vertical load is applied to the axle again, which concludes the operation of changing the wheelbase for adaptation to the new track width.
35 Based on these systems, different developments have been made for application to different railway structures, among which are the case of independent axes, bogies, merchandise bogies and motor bogies and, among them, the one described in the Spanish patent No. ES 2 130 039 B1, which describes a railway axle assembly equipped with automatic track width change, which can be incorporated into conventional merchandise bogies instead of fixed-mounted mounted axles, without requiring a
image2
5 substantial modification of said bogies.
In accordance with the system described in the document mentioned in the previous paragraph, each bogie incorporates unloading skates that, when passing the rail vehicle through the fixed or changer installation, support parallel unloading rails.
10 to the direction of the march or advance of the vehicle, whereby the weight of the railway vehicle of the axles on which the wheels are mounted is achieved, that is, that the wheels themselves are unloaded from the weight of the vehicle.
On the other hand, the fixed or changer installation comprises unlocking rails or
15 unlocks running parallel to the discharge rails. The head of these unlocking rails is "T" shaped in correspondence with the female form having unlocking or unlocking skates located in the bogie, so that the head of said unlocking skates fits into the custom unlocking rails that the vehicle advances through the fixed installation or changer. According to a profile view, the
20 unlocking rails have a stepped path that causes the unlocking skate to lower and re-raise a piece that forms the locking bolts, responsible for unlocking the wheels with respect to their position in the bogie structure, as the vehicle passes by fixed installation or changer.
25 Likewise, as the vehicle progresses and the wheels are already released from the locks, these wheels pass through path displacement guides that are oblique to both the unlocking and unloading rails, so that they position the wheels in its new position, at which time the locks are closed, by the action of the upward staggering of the unlocking rails, finally remaining its new
30 position with respect to the bogie structure. Each bolt has a configuration comprising two interlocking end studs that are joined together by a bridge, so that both bolts are operated together, since the bolt is a single piece.
35 Once the wheels are locked in the new position, the wheel unloading skates cease to have contact with the installation unloading rails
image3
fixed or changer and therefore the vehicle rests on the wheels of the bogie.
In Spanish Patent No. ES 2 346 945 B1, a variable width bogie with rotating shafts is described as well as a fixed or changing facility for changing track width. The installation corresponds to that described in the document set out in the previous paragraphs, and the bogie is an example similar to the previous one.
The problem with these systems is that in the lower part of the trains in extreme cold conditions snow accumulates, dirt also accumulates, which contributes to increasing the risk that the locks do not re-engage once they have descended and the wheels have been displaced laterally, with the consequent risk of the safety of the wheels being crazy with respect to the frame, since the locks cannot be locked. From a security point of view, the problem is considerable, given the single-piece structure of the locks, which are
15 linked to each other by the bridge, in the event that snow, ice, or simply dirt prevents the entry of one of the bolts, this means that the other bolt cannot enter its wheel lock position either, with which said wheel is crazy with respect to the axle, with the consequent risk of derailment.
20 This problem is more relevant in countries that usually have low temperatures, as in Russia, which also has the particularity of having a special track width with a value of 1520 mm, intermediate between the width of the Iberian and European roads, so There is a need to have to change the wheelbase. Given the importance of this problem, in this case they have been adopted
25 particular solutions consisting of driving recirculation air from the passenger cars to the areas where the locks are located, in order to undo the possible accumulated snow or ice.
In any case, in addition to the additional cost and waste of energy that comes with
30 solution mentioned in the previous paragraph, even in the case of passenger wagons, the problem is still present in those vehicles that do not have air to recirculate from the passenger compartment, as is the case of wagons that are not intended to said transport, such as freight vehicles.

image4 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a railway axle assembly, which allows solving the above problem, constituting a reliable safe system for changing the wheelbase in a fixed or changing facility such as that described in Spanish patent No. ES 2 346 945 B1, even when it is carried out in cold and ice or snow conditions accumulated in the lower part of the axle assembly, thus achieving its adaptation to railways of different widths and minimizing the risk of accidental unlocking of wheels during the change of width operation, getting this
10 object even in freight vehicles that do not have air recirculation from the passenger compartment.
The object of the present invention is achieved with a railway axle assembly as defined by claim 1. Embodiments are defined in embodiments
15 advantageous individuals of said railway axis.
The railway axle assembly proposed by the invention comprises a support platform of a railway vehicle and at least one axle on which at least one wheel is mounted, the axle assembly comprising at least two wheels whose rotation centers define
20 a lateral direction that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The distance between said at least two wheels corresponds to a track width, where each wheel is mounted on the platform such that a displacement of said wheel with respect to the platform is allowed according to the lateral direction.
Likewise, the assembly comprises locking means that allow the movement to be blocked according to the lateral direction of each wheel with respect to the platform, and means for changing the distance between said at least two wheels, according to the lateral direction.
Well, according to the invention, the means of distance change comprise, by
30 each wheel, a positioning piece that is linked to the wheel so that there can be no relative movement between said wheel and said positioning piece according to the lateral direction, said positioning piece comprising at least two sets of positioning guides, where each set comprises at least two positioning guides spaced apart from each other according to the lateral direction.
35 Likewise, the locking means comprise, for each wheel, at least two independent bolts or vertically movable rods, where each bolt can move inside a locking guide, which is integral with the platform, without the possibility of leaving said locking guide. .
image5
5 Each bolt can be housed within a positioning guide of each of said at least two sets of positioning guides, so that the bolt can move vertically between a locked position, in which the bolt is housed in the positioning guide and prevents the movement of the positioning piece and therefore of the wheel with respect to the platform according to the lateral direction, and a position
10, in which the lock is not housed in any positioning guide and allows the movement of the positioning piece and the wheel with respect to the platform according to the lateral direction.
Regarding the systems of the prior art, in the case of the invention it is not
15 contemplates the use of a bridge element that incorporates the two joined bolts. On the contrary, in the case of the invention each bolt has its own independent guide that collaborates with the unlocking rail equally independently, thus having its own height-changing route and that by means of that descent or ascent of the unlocking rail profile causes the locks to descend and rise to unlock or
20 be locked completely independently, so that it is ensured that in case of failure of one of the bolts, the other can be placed correctly and is not destined to not be placed correctly because it is jointly and severally linked to the first, which happens in the case of state of the art In addition, since each bolt is individual, it is not influenced by either ice or snow, against those that occur with the bolt of the
25 state of the art in the form of a bridge where if it is influenced by the accumulation in the area of the bridge of that ice or snow. Therefore, the locking means of the invention act in a redundant manner since by understanding at least two independent bolts one of them can fail while the other can have its effect, which results in safety. On the contrary, in the case of the prior art it is not possible to obtain that
30 redundancy, as indicated, since the failure of one of the bolts inexorably implies the failure of the other. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
