Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bogie of a rail vehicle has at least one wheelset with two oppositely situated wheels that are rigidly connected to one another, a wheelset bearing arrangement of the wheelset within the two wheels, a traction motor which directly drives the wheelset, and an aerodynamic paneling enclosure of the bogie. The traction motor is a permanently excited synchronous motor with liquid cooling.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A bogie of a rail vehicle, the bogie comprising: at least one wheelset with two opposing, rigidly interconnected wheels; a wheelset bearing of said at least one wheelset within said two wheels; a traction motor configured to drive said wheelset directly, said traction motor being a permanently excited synchronous motor with liquid cooling; said liquid cooling being effected by a liquid cooling jacket, and said traction motor having a closed internal cooling circuit to be recooled at said liquid cooling jacket; and an aerodynamic enclosure of the bogie, said enclosure being a full enclosure formed of shell-shaped enclosure elements on an underside, side regions, a front region and a rear region of the bogie, and said enclosure element on the underside being formed with recesses for said wheels of said wheelset. 2. The bogie according to claim 1 , wherein said closed internal cooling circuit is to be recooled at a motor can of a stator of said traction motor. 3. The bogie according to claim 2 , wherein said liquid cooling jacket cooling is arranged between a rear side of the stator of said traction motor and the internal cooling circuit. 4. The bogie according to claim 3 , wherein said internal cooling circuit includes outer air-guiding ducts. 5. The bogie according to claim 2 , further comprising a motor can disposed to separate said stator of said traction motor from a rotor of said traction motor, enabling said stator to be cooled by way of an insulating liquid. 6. A rail vehicle, comprising at least one bogie according to claim 1 , and wherein at least one recooling unit of the liquid cooling is arranged in and/or on the rail vehicle. 7. The rail vehicle according to claim 6 , configured as a high-speed train.
