  • Patent number: 11254335
    Abstract: The invention relates to bogies for railway vehicles with at least two wheelsets mounted in axleboxes and at least one transverse member. The bogies are in particular characterized in that they have a lightweight design and can be produced at low cost. The axleboxes of a wheelset are articulated to the transverse member via two axle levers so that the axle levers form an H shape with the axleboxes and the transverse member. The transverse member has at least two torsion bars arranged in parallel to the axles of the wheelsets, said torsion bars being firmly connected to the transverse member. The torsion bars have spring levers so that the end portion of the spring lever not connected to the torsion bar acts upon the axlebox.

  • Patent number: 10196075
    Abstract: A railway vehicle and an axle box structure thereof are provided. The axle box structure includes an axle box body and a positioning node mounting seat. The axle box body includes an upper box body and a lower box body. The upper box body and the lower box body enclose a bearing mounting chamber together. A lower end surface of the upper box body has a convex portion, and an upper end surface of the lower box body has a concave portion. A first semi-circular hole and a second semi-circular hole are respectively provided at the middle of the upper box body and the lower box body. If the convex portion and the concave portion are assembled in a sealed coupling manner, the bearing mounting chamber is formed by the first semi-circular hole and the second semi-circular hole.

  • Patent number: 10011287
    Abstract: A bogie for a high-speed railway vehicle includes a wheel set, an axle box, a primary spring suspension device, a frame, a secondary spring suspension device and a foundation braking device. A wheel of the wheel set has an LMA wheel tread. The foundation braking device is mounted by a three-point hitch structure. The axle box is a structure which is separatable in a vertical direction, and an off-line safety protecting device is mounted at a lower portion of the axle box. A traction rod of the secondary spring suspension device is a single traction rod. A center pin is provided with an integral hoisting device. Two anti-yaw dampers, as a group, are arranged at either side of the secondary spring suspension device, and the two anti-yaw dampers have the same damping coefficient.
