Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for measuring undulation of a brake disc in a railway wheel with brake discs includes a wheel support supporting a hub's bore of the railway wheel; a first displacement gauge for measuring a height displacement of the brake disc frictional surface for one round to follow rotation of the wheel support; and a second displacement gauge for measuring a height displacement of a railway wheel rim surface for one round to follow rotation of the wheel support. A computing unit calculates a difference between maximum and minimum values of the height displacement of the frictional surface by acquiring measurement data from the first displacement gauge, calculates a difference between the maximum and minimum values of the height displacement of the rim's surface by acquiring measurement data from the second displacement gauge, and derives a difference between the both calculated differences as brake disc undulation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device for measuring undulation of a brake disc in a railway wheel with brake discs, a pair of brake discs being arranged to face each other across a web of a railway wheel, the brake disc being fastened to the railway wheel by bolts, the device comprising: a wheel support supporting a hub's bore of the railway wheel, and rotating about a central axis of the railway wheel; a first displacement gauge provided to face a frictional surface of one of the brake discs being fastened to the railway wheel by bolts, and measuring a height displacement of the frictional surface for one round to follow rotation of the wheel support; a second displacement gauge provided to face a rim's surface of the railway wheel on a side of the frictional surface, and measuring a height displacement of the rim's surface for one round to follow the rotation of the wheel support; and a computing unit calculating a first difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the height displacement of the frictional surface by acquiring measurement data from the first displacement gauge, calculating a second difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the height displacement of the rim's surface by acquiring measurement data from the second displacement gauge, and deriving a difference between the first difference and the second difference as undulation of the brake disc to the rim's surface of the railway wheel. 2. The device for measuring undulation of a brake disc in a railway wheel with brake discs according to claim 1 , wherein pairs of the first displacement gauge and the second displacement gauge are provided on the frictional surface side of one of the brake discs in the railway wheel supported by the wheel support and the frictional surface side of the other brake disc, respectively. 3. The device for measuring undulation of a brake disc in a railway wheel with brake discs according to claim 1 , wherein the first displacement gauge and the second displacement gauge are reflective laser displacement sensors. 4. The device for measuring undulation of a brake disc in a railway wheel with brake discs according to claim 2 , wherein the first displacement gauge and the second displacement gauge are reflective laser displacement sensors.
