Buffer and/or traction device, with electricity generator.

摘要

The tension coupling and/or buffer device incorporates an energy converter (13), which converts at least part of the kinetic energy acting on the tension coupling and/or buffer device into electrical energy. The energy converter uses a Peltier element or an electrical generator and can be contained within a hollow space of the tension coupling and/or buffer device, the obtained electrical energy fed to an electrical energy storage device (15).
