Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a train using articulated vehicles, particularly to an arrangement of passenger trains.

[Conventional technology]

In general, trains, especially passenger train cars, support the front and rear of each of the constituent cars with a bogie. Each bogie has two front and rear wheel sets, and one car is supported by a total of four front and rear wheel sets. Configuration.

Such a train for passengers can be divided into two types: an electric vehicle with a device for driving and an accompanying vehicle without them. In the case of an electric vehicle, a motor is provided on each axle in the above configuration. Stick.

The electric vehicle further includes a pantograph and other power collecting devices and a power supply device for another vehicle, and a power supply electric vehicle for supplying power to another vehicle, and a power receiving and supplying device having a function for supplying power to the own vehicle. There are three types of electric powered vehicles: electric powered vehicles, which do not have the above-described current collector, and power receiving devices that receive power from other vehicles. Is done.

Until now, generally, as described on pages 116 to 118 of the document "The World of Trains (Seibundo Shinkosha Co., Ltd.)", one vehicle each of a power receiving and feeding electric vehicle and a power receiving electric vehicle, a total of two vehicles As described in pages 173 and 174 of the book “Railway Mechanism Illustration Book (Grand Prix Publishing Co., Ltd.)”, the accompanying vehicle without a motor is appropriately arranged in another place. Arrangements have been adopted.

By the way, in the passenger vehicle, in addition to the above-described electric vehicle and the method of dividing the vehicle into auxiliary vehicles, a vehicle having passenger facilities such as a toilet, a washroom, a telephone, and the like, and a vehicle without such facilities are provided. There is also a method of dividing into vehicles.

FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) show a conventional Tokaido / Sanyo Shinkansen train organization as a conventional example. In the figure, reference numerals 1 to 16 denote vehicle numbers, and passenger equipment S indicated by hatching is provided on the right side of the figure of each odd-numbered vehicle. A black circle drawn below the vehicle body indicates a truck m with a motor, and a white circle indicates a truck t without a motor. Cars 1 and 16 are cab-equipped vehicles at the beginning or end of the train, and are of two types: electric vehicles and accompanying vehicles. Intermediate cars 8 and 9 in (a) or (b)
Nos. 7 to 10 are two-story vehicles, and these are accompanying vehicles. The other vehicles are electric vehicles, 2-3-4, circled
-5 ... Car 14-15 or 1-2,3-4 ... 1
Cars Nos. 5-16 constitute power units of two vehicles and one unit. One of the vehicles constituting the power unit is a power-receiving / powered electric vehicle having a power collecting device a such as a pantograph, a power-supplying device b, and a power-receiving device c, and the other is a power-receiving electric vehicle mainly including the power-receiving device.

In these trains, passenger facilities S such as toilets and telephones are used.
Are provided on the right side of the hatched figure of each odd-numbered car.

In the formation of such a train, the number of vehicles is increased or decreased according to the number of passengers. In that case, however, usually, the number of vehicles can be increased or decreased only by two units constituting a power unit. It is convenient in that respect because there is one passenger facility for every two cars. That is, since the power unit is a two-car unit and the passenger equipment is also a two-car unit, the basic unit of formation is two cars. For this reason, when only one vehicle is reduced, the vehicle is limited to an intermediate accompanying vehicle, and only one of the 8th and 9th vehicles can be removed in FIG. 3 (a), and only 7th to 10th vehicles can be removed in FIG. 3 (b). When two vehicles are reduced, two vehicles may be removed from the accompanying vehicles. Conversely, if it increases, it is necessary to consider the opposite. Now, in addition to the two-unit one-unit power unit, there is a method of arranging one power-receiving electric vehicle on each side of one power-supply vehicle to form a three-unit one-unit power unit. As described above, it is not easy to increase or decrease the number of vehicles when one power unit is constituted by three vehicles.

This will be described with reference to FIG. 4. First, in FIG. 4, 2 to 4, 5 to 7...
Form one power unit.

Of these, the first car is an accompanying vehicle with a driver's cab, 3, 6, 9, 12, 1
The No. 5 car is a power-supply-attached vehicle that has a power collection device a and a power supply device b but is supported by a truck t without a motor, and the other is a power-receiving electric vehicle that is supported by a truck m with a motor and has a power reception device c. In this case, the number of power collection devices and power supply devices can be reduced for the entire train, but the type of vehicles greatly increases in consideration of the arrangement of passenger facilities. That is, as can be seen from the figure, the vehicle with cab (No. 1,16)
Cars with power supply (cars 3, 6, 9, 12, 15), electric powered cars (2, 4, 5,
7,8,10,11,13,14,16), it is necessary to prepare one with and without passenger facilities, the cost burden at the time of manufacturing is large, and the inventory of vehicle parts The types also increase, and management becomes complicated.

That is, since the power unit is a three-car unit and the passenger equipment is a two-car unit, the basic unit of formation is 6 times the least common multiple.
It means both. For this reason, it is difficult to increase or decrease the number of vehicles in consideration of the facilities for passengers. Even if the number of trains is increased or decreased without considering the facilities for passengers, it is necessary to increase or decrease in units of three cars. , Cannot be fine-tuned.

By the way, when a conventional non-articulated vehicle is used instead of a conventional articulated vehicle, additional consideration is required. What is an articulated car?
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 60-29368, two vehicles are mounted on one vehicle, in other words, one vehicle is disposed between vehicle bodies.

Since trolleys are generally heavy, the use of articulated vehicles generally reduces the number and weight of the trolleys to nearly two-thirds. Therefore, if one power unit is constituted by three connected vehicles, one power unit includes four trolleys, and the configuration is the same as that of one vehicle with two vehicles that are not connected vehicles. Therefore, the power equipment for one unit, which was conventionally borne by two vehicle bodies, can be borne by three vehicle bodies in the case of an articulated vehicle, and the weight of the power equipment and bogie per vehicle body can be reduced.

Furthermore, since there is no overhanging part from the bogie of the connecting part, even if the train length is the same, there are advantages such as connecting many car bodies and increasing the space between bogies that are comfortable for passengers. is there.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in this configuration, the passenger equipment is a three-car
Since this corresponds to the configuration of the unit, the problem in the case shown in FIG. 4 described above occurs.

In addition, as described above, in the articulated vehicle of this type, when the power units are directly connected to each other, the motor of the bogie at the connection portion is restricted by both the power units, and the motors of one bogie are mutually divided. It is necessary to share the information, and the composition of the composition is restricted.

Also, considering the presence of passenger facilities as described above,
The types of vehicles are greatly increased.

Further, there arises a problem that the number of trains can be increased or decreased only in units of three vehicles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a knitting configuration in which a motorized bogie included in a power unit does not have to be divided and shared, and can be increased or decreased in units of one vehicle. The present invention provides a train arrangement array that does not increase the type.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a train arrangement arrangement of the present invention has a power supply device and a power supply that is connected and supported by a bogie with a motor at the front and rear. A train and a power unit connected to both sides of the power supply vehicle and connected to both sides of the power-supplying vehicle by a bogie equipped with a motor, the power unit being one unit in three connections; The idler vehicle is connected between the power units to be supported, and is supported by a truck with a motor in common with the power unit. The four units of the idler vehicle and the power unit connected to one of both sides thereof are used as basic units of formation. , A configuration including at least one or more of the basic units is adopted.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power supply vehicle having a power supply device and front and rear connected by a motor vehicle, and two power receiving vehicles connected to both sides of the power supply vehicle and front and rear connected by a motor vehicle. In a train arrangement arrangement of a plurality of connected trains, an idler vehicle is connected between adjacent power units, and a power unit that becomes one unit by connecting three electric vehicles is supported by a bogie with a motor shared with the power unit. The four units of the idler vehicle and the power unit connected to one of the two sides of the train are used as the basic unit of formation, and at least one or more of the basic units are included. Only one end is connected to both ends of the train. At least one connecting vehicle with a driver's cab having a non-connected structure at the other end is connected to the basic unit.

Further, as set forth in claim 3, a power supply vehicle having a power supply device and front and rear connected and supported by a motor vehicle, and two power receiving vehicles connected to both sides of the power supply vehicle and front and rear connected and supported by the motor vehicle. In a train arrangement arrangement of a plurality of connected trains, an idler vehicle is connected between adjacent power units, and a power unit that becomes one unit by connecting three electric vehicles is supported by a bogie with a motor shared with the power unit. The four units of the idler vehicle and the power unit connected to one of the two sides of the train are used as the basic unit of formation, and at least one or more of the basic units are included. Only one end is connected to both ends of the train. At least one or more semi-articulated vehicles with a cab having a non-articulated structure at the other end are connected to the basic unit, and only one end is connected to one or more places between the idler vehicle and the power unit. In structure, the other end both 2 intermediate half articulated vehicle of non-articulated structure, and removably connected at the other end between a pair, and the incorporated in articulated configuration.

In the train arrangement arrangement according to the third aspect, the intermediate semi-connected vehicle may be replaced with a cab-equipped semi-connected vehicle.

In the train arrangement according to any one of claims 1 to 4, it is preferable to provide a passenger facility every other car. In this case, the passenger facility is not provided in the idler vehicle, and the power receiving unit of the power unit is not provided. It is preferable to provide a structure in which a vehicle is provided with passenger facilities.

[Action]

Since the idler vehicle is inserted between the power units, there is no restriction on the sharing of the motor vehicle between the power units.
Two power units can be connected.

Further, the idler vehicle connected between the semi-articulated vehicle with cab or the semi-articulated vehicle and the power unit can be freely removed, and only one vehicle can be increased or decreased. Furthermore, the intermediate semi-connected vehicle with two units and one unit is also removable,
Both can be increased or decreased. The increase or decrease of three or more cars is achieved by a combination of the above, the increase and decrease of the power unit, and the idler vehicle or the intermediate semi-connected vehicle.

On the other hand, the configuration for the passenger equipment is a basic unit consisting of four power units including an idler vehicle and a power unit consisting of three vehicles.
The arrangement is regular, and the number of types of vehicle bodies is reduced.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are train arrangement diagrams according to the present invention, and the numbers 1 to 20 in each figure indicate vehicle numbers as in the case of the conventional example. In principle, two bogies are connected to each bogie m or t from both sides, indicating that the train of the present invention is a connected car.

Since the articulated vehicle supports two bodies with one vehicle like this,
When counting the number of vehicles, whether the bogie belongs to either the left or right vehicle body varies depending on the structure of the connecting portion, and may belong to the left or right, or may not belong to either of them.
Therefore, in the present application, the attribute of the cart is not specified.

By the way, by adopting such an articulated car, the overhang of the articulated part of the non-articulated car is eliminated. For example, a train with a maximum length of 16 trains and a length of 400 m on a Shinkansen train can be replaced with a train of the same length of 400 m. As a 20-car train, it became possible to increase 4 cars.

The vehicle denoted by Tp is a current collector a composed of a pantograph or the like.
In addition, in the case of an AC train, this is a power supply vehicle having a power supply device b mainly composed of a transformer, and is handled as an accompanying vehicle for convenience based on the concept of FIG. 4 which is a conventional technology. Since it is the cart m, it can be called an electric vehicle. Vehicles indicated by M on both sides of the vehicle are power-receiving electric vehicles that are supplied with power from Tp and drive a motor by a power-receiving device c represented by, for example, an inverter device. A total of eight motors of four trucks are driven by the power feeding device b via the power receiving devices c on both sides, and one power unit is formed by three vehicles. In FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (c), the vehicle numbers constituting one power unit are indicated by circles.

The vehicle denoted by T is a vehicle that does not have power-related devices such as a power collection device, a power supply device, and a power receiving device, and is a vehicle for connecting power units or between a power unit and another accompanying vehicle, and is referred to as an idler vehicle. Of course, as described above, when the attribute of the bogie is not considered, it is handled as an accompanying vehicle.

The vehicle indicated by Tc, T'c is a semi-articulated vehicle with a cab, has a train control device, has an articulated structure in which only one end has a common bogie with the adjacent car body, and the other end or The rear end includes a non-coupled motorless carriage t. The difference between the two is that Tc has passenger facilities and T'c does not.

The vehicles indicated by Te and T'e are, in principle, intermediate semi-articulated vehicles comprising one set of two bodies, and semi-articulated vehicles with cabs Tc and T'c.
Similarly, only one end has a connection structure, and the other end has a non-connection motorless carriage t instead of the connection structure. Of these, Te has a passenger facility and T'e has no such facility.

This intermediate semi-articulated vehicle is the 9th car M shown in FIG.
It is possible to connect and connect not only between the car No. 12 and the car T, but also between the car No. 1 Tc and the car No. 2 or between the car No. 19 M and the car No. 20 T′c.

FIG. 1 (a) is connected to a power receiving electric vehicle M of a power unit via an idler vehicle T supported by a motorless bogie t adjacent to a leading cab-equipped semi-articulated vehicle Tc. 3
Car No.5, Car No.7-9, Car No.13-15, Car No.17-19 make up a power unit respectively, Car No.2,6,12,16 has idler car T, Car No.10, Car cab on Car No.11 Semi-articulated vehicles T'c, Tc are arranged. With this configuration, when the number of passengers is reduced to about half, the train is separated between car No. 10 and car No. 11, and two trains of 10-car train can be operated in two directions.

FIG. 1 (b) has a similar composition to that of FIG. 1 (a), but differs in that the semi-articulated vehicles T'c, Tc with cab are arranged in the 6th and 7th cars. In this case, when the number of passengers reaches about 60 to 70%, car 6 is separated from car 1 and car 7
No. 20 can handle it. It is possible to operate in two directions
Same as (a).

FIG. 1 (c) shows a modified example of FIG. 1 (a).
The difference is that car No. 11 and car No. 11 are replaced with intermediate semi-connected vehicles T'e and Te.

Hereinafter, a method of reducing one vehicle at a time from the configuration of (c) will be described. In addition, since the illustrated 20-car train is the maximum length for practical use, a method of reducing the length will be described.
It goes without saying that the concept can be further increased as long as there are no other restrictions.

First, to reduce the number of vehicles by one, use Car 2 or Car 12,
Remove it with the cart on the left. That is, the idler vehicle T includes the motorless bogie t, and may be removed together with the bogie connected to the intermediate semi-articulated vehicle Te or the cab-equipped semi-articulated vehicle Tc. At this time, since the facilities for passengers are not reduced, the service does not decrease.

In order to reduce the number of vehicles by two, both the above-mentioned No. 2 and No. 12 vehicles, or both of the intermediate semi-connected vehicles Te and T'e of the No. 10 and No. 11 vehicles are removed. Also in this case, the passenger facilities are not substantially reduced, so that the service is not reduced.

To reduce the number of vehicles by three, remove cars 2, 10, and 11 or use a single power unit including four motorized carts, for example, three to three cars.
Remove Car 6 However, in the latter case, it is necessary to separately bring a motorless truck t for supporting the second and sixth cars.

In order to reduce 4 vehicles, including 4 motorized trucks 1
The idler vehicle T including the two power units and the motorless bogie t, for example, the second to fifth cars, may be removed.

In order to reduce 5 vehicles, including 4 trucks with motor 1
Two to six power units and two idler vehicles T
Either remove the car, or remove one power unit and two intermediate semi-connected vehicles, for example, cars 7-11, leaving a motorless car t on the left side of car 12 in the figure.

In order to reduce the number of vehicles by six, the same configuration as that of the seventh to twentieth vehicles in (b) may be used, and thereafter, the number of vehicles can be reduced one by one. In either case, except for some options, the facilities for passengers are not reduced below necessity, so the service does not decrease. In addition, such a reduction or increase in the number of vehicles is performed in principle at the inspection yard, and is not performed on a normal track.

By the way, in the case of the configuration shown in FIG. 1, there are few types of vehicles in which the passenger facilities S are provided. In principle, only M is used, and Tc and Te are added. Only three types of vehicles have the passenger facilities. Note that

2 (a) to 2 (c) show modifications of FIG. 1 (c).

FIG. 2 (a) shows that the idler vehicle T is not inserted between the semi-articulated vehicle Tc with cab of the first car and the power unit.
The 20th car T'c is connected to the power unit via an idler vehicle including the motorless bogie t.

Passenger equipment S such as a toilet as in the case of FIG.
Is provided on the right side of the figure of the odd-numbered car.

The feature of this configuration is that the number of types of vehicles having passenger facilities is increased by one. That is, Tc, Tp,
There are four types, T and Te. This is not preferable from the viewpoint of the balance of the front and rear axle load in each vehicle. I mean,
This is because the facilities S for passengers such as toilets are heavier than ordinary seats, and the number of types having the facilities S for passengers increases, which makes it difficult to properly distribute the weight.

FIG. 2 (b) has the same knitting arrangement as in FIG. 2 (a), but the passenger equipment S is arranged on the left side of the figure of the even-numbered car. There are few types of vehicles that have passenger facilities, and M, T'e,
T'c. Therefore, it is easy to balance as in FIG.

FIG. 2 (c) shows the same knitting arrangement as in FIG. 1 (c), in which the passenger equipment S is arranged on the left side of the drawing of the even-numbered car. The type of vehicles with passenger facilities has increased, and T, Tp, T'e,
T'c, and it is difficult to balance the axial load as in the case of (a).

In the case where the passenger equipment S is arranged on the left side of the even-numbered car as shown in the configurations of (b) and (c), it is different from the conventional arrangement of the odd-numbered car on the right-hand side. There may be cases where it is difficult to use it in common use.

From the above, considering the practicality, the embodiment of FIG. 1 in which the passenger equipment S is not arranged in the idler vehicle is most desirable, and the embodiment of FIG. 2 (b) is next desirable.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when forming a train, particularly a passenger train, with articulated vehicles, by inserting idler vehicles between adjacent power units, formation of four vehicles as a basic unit is achieved. Can be easily configured.

Even when one power unit is composed of three vehicles, by inserting or deleting an idler vehicle, a motorless bogie, or an intermediate semi-connected vehicle, the passenger facilities become two-car units and the number of vehicles per vehicle becomes smaller. The number of vehicles can be increased or decreased, and the balance of services and power by passenger facilities and the proper distribution of axle load and the balance are not broken.

Further, it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of types of vehicles requiring passenger facilities, to facilitate the manufacture of the vehicle, to reduce the manufacturing cost, and to reduce the number of spare parts to facilitate management. Things.
