Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) for the horizontal re-centering of a coupling shaft, particularly a central buffer coupling of a track-guided vehicle, wherein the device (1) comprises a first rotating body (3) and a second rotating body (4) which is rotatable relative to the first rotating body (3), wherein the device (1) is designed to produce the force necessary to generate a restoring torque acting on the coupling shaft by the rotating of the two rotating bodies (3, 4) relative to each other.
Claims22
A device for a horizontal re-centering of a coupling shaft that is a central buffer coupling of a track-guided vehicle, the device comprising:
- a first rotating body;
- and
- a second rotating body that is rotatable relative to the first rotating body,
- wherein the device is configured to produce a force necessary to generate a restoring torque acting on the coupling shaft based on a rotating of the first rotating body and the second rotating body relative to each other, and
- wherein at least parts of the first rotating body and second rotating body are of a circular cylindrical configuration and are coaxially arranged with one another thereby causing the first rotating body to be at least partially accommodated by the second rotating body;
- and
- a cam roller system having at least two cam rollers that are rotatably supported by the first rotating body and radially project from the first rotating body and rest on a face of the second rotating body, wherein the first rotating body and the second rotating body rotate relative to each other about a vertical axis (V) via the at least two cam rollers of the cam roller system.
A device for a horizontal re-centering of a coupling shaft that is a central buffer coupling of a track-guided vehicle, the device comprising:
- a first rotating body;
- and
- a second rotating body that is rotatable relative to the first rotating body,
- wherein
- (1) the device is configured to produce a force necessary to generate a restoring torque acting on the coupling shaft based on a rotating of the first rotating body and the second rotating body relative to each other,
- (2) the second rotating body is arranged at a spacing from the first rotating body, and
- (3) the first rotating bods is configured as a first bearing member in a form of a first bearing disk and the second rotating body is configured as a second bearing member in a form of a second bearing disk,
- wherein the device further comprising:
- a rolling body arrangement having at least one rolling body that is partially arranged between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, wherein the first rotating body and the second rotating body rotate relative to one another around a vertical axis (V) via the at least one rolling body, wherein the rolling body arrangement comprises at least two rolling bodies and a cage structure allocated to the at least two rolling bodies for a forced guiding of the at least two rolling bodies.
