GO BACK TO THE AREA OF OTHERSInvention entitled ‘Brake shoe for dual-drive rail-road vehicle’ (Pat.240494/P.431242)
Description:
The object of the invention is a brake shoe for a rail-road, dual-drive vehicle.
The purpose of the invention is a brake design for reliable braking of the rail axle assembly of a rail-road, dual-drive vehicle. The essence of the design of a brake shoe for a dual-drive road-rail vehicle, comprising pneumatic cylinders, levers, brake pads and air lines supplied to the pneumatic cylinders on the piston rod side, is characterised by the fact that, in the recess of the guide roller, a bracket consisting of a flat bar and a flat bar is fixed to the face of the stub, whereby the pneumatic cylinders are attached to the flat bar, while compressed air lines are supplied to the pneumatic cylinders on the piston rod side, with a fixed link connected to the flat bar of the bracket, which is the pivot fixing point of the levers, besides which the levers are pivotally attached to the piston rods of the pneumatic cylinders, while the brake pads are pivotally fixed to the levers. According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the brake cylinders are fixed to the flat bar by means of bolted connections.
Benefits:
A beneficial effect of the invention is that the vehicle’s pneumatic system can be used to brake the rail axle assembly of a rail-road, dual-drive vehicle.
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent Pat.240494 granted by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, in force from 23 September 2019.
