DEVICE FOR MECHANICALLY COUPLING A RAIL BRAKE ON A STEERING BOGIE OF A RAIL VEHICLE (BRAKE POWER DRIVER)

摘要

The invention relates to a device for mechanically coupling a rail brake on a steering bogie (6) of a rail vehicle, comprising electrically magnetic brakes (3a, 3b) which are respectively associated with each track (4) of the platform. The magnetic brakes are disposed in a such a way that they can be lifted and lowered on a respective magnetic support (1a, 1b) relative to the associated rails (4) and are held in place along the width of the track by means of a track-holding arrangement forming a brake frame. According to the invention, various catch stops (8a - 8b) operate lengthways in the direction of travel and are disposed on the bogie (6). Said catch stops interact with stopping areas (10) correspondingly arranged on the brake frame to enable the braking force to be transmitted. In order to minimise the strain on the brake frame during braking, a wearing surface (12) made from a hard material is connected to the stopping surface (9) of the catch stop (8) or to the stopping area (10) on the brake frame by means of a spring arrangement(11) in order to create a coupling point having an elastic effect in a longitudinal and transversal direction.
