Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a rail vehicle. The vehicle includes: bogies, where the bogie has a straddle recess suitable for straddling a rail, and the bogie is provided with a first dodge groove and a second dodge groove used to respectively dodge two side walls of the rail; and a vehicle body, where the vehicle body is connected to the bogie and pulled by the bogie to travel along the rail, and the vehicle body includes a plurality of compartments hinged sequentially along a length direction of the rail; and in the length direction of the rail, a surface that is of a compartment at at least one end of the vehicle body and that faces away from an adjacent compartment is provided with an escape door that can be opened and closed. The rail vehicle according to this embodiment of the present disclosure facilitates optimization of the structure of an escape passage, reduction in costs, reduction in occupied space and the weight borne by the rail, and improvement in stability, and can form complete and firm protection with the rail to improve safety during running.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a bogie, wherein the bogie has a straddle recess suitable for straddling a rail, and the bogie is provided with a first dodge groove and a second dodge groove used to respectively dodge two side walls of the rail;
a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle body is connected to the bogie and pulled by the bogie to travel along the rail, and the vehicle body comprises a plurality of compartments hinged sequentially along a length direction of the rail; and in the length direction of the rail, a surface of a compartment at an end of the vehicle body that faces away from an adjacent compartment is provided with an escape door that can be opened and closed;
a bogie frame, wherein the straddle recess, the first dodge groove, and the second dodge groove are disposed on the bogie frame; and
one or more running wheels, wherein each of the one or more running wheels is pivotably mounted onto the bogie frame and is located between the first dodge roove groove and the second dodge groove,
wherein the bogie frame is provided with a running wheel mounting groove located between the first dodge groove and the second dodge groove, and one of the one or more running wheels is pivotably mounted into the running wheel mounting groove.

2. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a first end of the escape door is pivotally mounted onto the corresponding compartment, and a second end of the escape door tilts downward and stretches into the rail when the escape door is opened.

3. The rail vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein an inner surface of the escape door is provided with a slide rail.

4. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an escape port and an escape cover plate are disposed on an inner floor of the compartment at an end of the vehicle body, the escape cover plate collaborates with the escape door and is used to open and close the escape port, the escape cover plate opens the escape port when the escape door is opened, and the escape cover plate closes the escape port when the escape door is closed.

5. The rail vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein an escape ladder leading to the rail is disposed in the escape port.

6. The rail vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the vehicle body further comprises a stretching/retraction driving device used to drive stretching/retraction of the escape ladder.

7. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the bogie comprises:
a driving device, wherein the driving device is mounted onto the bogie frame and the running wheel is driven by the driving device.

8. The rail vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the bogie further comprises:
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; and
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.

9. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein a first horizontal wheel mounting limb stretching from the first side of the rail into the straddle recess and a second horizontal wheel mounting limb stretching from the second side of the rail into the straddle recess are disposed on the bogie frame, the first horizontal wheel is mounted onto the first horizontal wheel mounting limb, and the second horizontal wheel is mourned onto the second horizontal wheel mounting limb.

10. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the first horizontal wheel is connected to a first horizontal safety wheel that moves in synchronization with the first horizontal wheel and whose outer diameter is less than the outer diameter of the first horizontal wheel, and the second horizontal wheel is connected to a second horizontal safety wheel that moves in synchronization with the second horizontal wheel and whose outer diameter is less than the outer diameter of the second horizontal wheel.

11. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the first horizontal wheel and the second horizontal wheel are located at a same height in an up and down direction.

12. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein there is a plurality of first horizontal wheels spaced apart and coaxially disposed along an up and down direction and there is a plurality of second horizontal wheels spaced apart and coaxially disposed along the up and down direction.

13. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein there is a plurality of first horizontal wheels spaced apart along an up and down direction and the length direction of the rail respectively, and there is a plurality of second horizontal wheels spaced apart along the up and down direction and the length direction of the rail respectively.

14. The rail vehicle according, to claim 8 , wherein there are two first horizontal wheels spaced apart along the length direction of the rail, there are two second horizontal wheels spaced apart along the length direction of the rail, the central axes of the two first horizontal wheels and the central axes of the two second horizontal wheels are respectively located at four corners of a rectangle in the horizontal plane, and the rectangle is symmetrical about the center of the bogie frame.

15. The rail vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein there are one first horizontal wheel and one second horizontal wheel respectively, the first horizontal wheel and the second horizontal wheel are spaced along the width direction of the rail, and the first horizontal wheel and the second horizontal wheel deviate from the center of the bogie frame to a travelling direction of the rail vehicle in the length direction of the rail.
