Coupling assembly for the front of a rail-guided vehicle

摘要

The coupling arrangement (100) has supporting structure with two longitudinal beams (11,12) that are arranged on sides of central buffer coupling to limit a horizontal deflection of the central buffer coupling. A crossbeam (13) is arranged above central buffer coupling such that vertical deflection of coupling shaft relative to undercarriage of vehicle is limited by crossbeam. The crossbeam is joined with longitudinal beams such that vertical forces applied from central buffer coupling onto crossbeam are transmitted from crossbeam to longitudinal beams.
