Abstract

The present disclosure provides a bogie, a rail vehicle having same, and a rail transport system. The bogie includes: a bogie frame, where the bogie frame has a straddle recess straddling a rail; a first running wheel and a second running wheel, where the first running wheel and the second running wheel are pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame respectively and are coaxially spaced apart; a third running wheel and a fourth running wheel, where the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel are pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame respectively and are coaxially spaced apart; a driving device, where the driving device is located between the first running wheel and the second running wheel, and the first running wheel and the second running wheel are driven by the driving device; and/or the driving device is located between the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel, and the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel are driven by the driving device. The bogie according to this embodiment of the present disclosure facilitates optimization of the structure of an escape passage, and has advantages such as high space utilization, high stability, and strong weight bearing capability.

First claim

a third running wheel and a fourth running wheel, wherein the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel are pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame respectively and are coaxially spaced apart, the third running wheel and the first running wheel are spaced apart in the length direction of the rail, and the fourth running wheel and the second running wheel are spaced apart in the length direction of the rail;
at least one driving device, wherein the at least one driving device is mounted onto the bogie frame;
a first horizontal wheel, wherein the first horizontal wheel is pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame and is suitable for fitting in on a first side of the rail;
a second horizontal wheel, wherein the second horizontal wheel is pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame and is suitable for fitting in on a second side of the rail; and
a first horizontal safety wheel connected to the first horizontal wheel and moving in synchronization with the first horizontal wheel, and a second horizontal safety wheel connected to the second horizontal wheel and moving in synchronization with the second horizontal wheel, wherein an outer diameter of the first horizontal safety wheel is less than an outer diameter of the first horizontal wheel, and an outer diameter of the second horizontal safety wheel is less than an outer diameter of the second horizontal wheel,
wherein:
a first driving device of the at least one driving device is located between the first running wheel and the second running wheel, the first running wheel and the second running wheel are driven by the first driving device; or
a second driving device of the at least one driving device is located between the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel, the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel are driven by the second driving device.

2. The bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the driving device is a motor, the motor has a first motor shaft and a second motor shaft operating synchronously, the first motor shaft is in transmission connection to the first running wheel or the third running wheel, and the second motor shaft is in transmission connection to the second running wheel or the fourth running wheel.

3. The bogie according to claim 2 , wherein the first motor shaft and the second motor shaft are coaxially disposed and are one integrally-formed piece.

4. The bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the first running wheel and the second running wheel are connected by using a first connection shaft and/or the third running wheel and the fourth running wheel are connected by using a second connection shaft; and the at least one driving device is in transmission connection to the first connection shaft and/or the second connection shaft.

5. The bogie according to claim 1 , wherein the first driving device is closer to the first running wheel than the second running wheel, and/or the second driving device is closer to the fourth running wheel than the third running wheel.

6. The bogie according to claim 1 , wherein
there are two first horizontal wheels spaced apart along the length direction of the rail,
