Definitions
- the invention generally relates to a system for routing cables between two car bodies in a multi-unit vehicle that are pivotally coupled about a pivot axis.
- Multi-unit vehicles include, for example, articulated buses or rail vehicles, such as a low-floor tram, a streetcar, or the like.
- the invention relates to such a system, particularly for articulated buses, for routing at least one supply line, particularly an electrical supply line, that bridges a gap between two consecutive car bodies.
- a generic system comprises a cable routing device with a flexible first longitudinal section, a flexible second longitudinal section, and a flexible or non-flexible deflection section between these two longitudinal sections. Furthermore, a generic system comprises suitable end fastening parts for fastening the ends of the longitudinal sections to one of the two car bodies.
- Such generic systems are known from the prior art, e.g., from patent EP 3 386 832 B1 or patent EP 3 718 795 B1.
- the solution from EP 3 386 832 B1 is intended in particular for rail vehicles. It was proposed that the cable guide device be constructed as an energy guide chain from mechanically coupled chain links, which hold or accommodate the cables to be guided. According to EP 3 386 832 B1, it is proposed that the chain links are pivotable relative to one another in a guide plane, namely by means of pivot joints of the chain links, which are essentially perpendicular to the guide plane and are less flexible in planes perpendicular to the guide plane. Cable guiding devices include energy chains of various designs, each comprising a number of chain links connected to one another in an articulated manner.
- the solution from EP 3 386 832 B1 can, for example, be achieved in a conventional manner using a conventional energy chain arranged laterally. Due to the chosen arrangement, this solution is not necessarily suitable for articulated buses.
- the solution from EP 3 718 795 B1 is specifically designed for articulated buses.
- This solution proposes a cable guide with a leaf spring that extends in a curved manner from one car body to the next.
- a cable conduit is slidably mounted on this leaf spring by a holder. While this solution is generally suitable for different vehicle types, it offers only limited protection for the cables being routed.
- the leaf spring used must be designed according to the specific requirements.
- a first object of the present invention is therefore to propose a system for cable routing for use in multi-unit vehicles, which offers good protection of the cables to be guided and at the same time is easily adaptable or can be easily adapted to the requirements of different vehicle types.
- the first object is achieved by a system for cable routing having the features of claim 1.
- the proposed system comprises a cable guide device for guiding at least one supply line in a guide plane, wherein the cable guide device comprises a flexible first longitudinal section, a flexible second
- the first and the second flexible longitudinal section each comprise a plurality of articulated Interconnected chain links of a cable guide chain.
- the cable guide device can be constructed from cable guide chains only in the flexible longitudinal section, or from one or more different types of cable guide chains across both flexible longitudinal sections and the deflection sections.
- the proposed system further comprises a first end fastening part for fastening one end of the first longitudinal section to one car body and a second end fastening part for fastening one end of the second longitudinal section to the other car body.
- the end fastening parts can have any suitable construction, but are preferably very simple in design, in particular without any moving parts during normal operation.
- the proposed system is characterized in that the first and the second flexible longitudinal section each comprise, in a first end-side partial section which starts from the respective end fastening part, chain links which are pivotally connected relative to one another in at least one first direction, in particular about a first axis parallel to the guide plane, and in that the first and the second flexible longitudinal section each comprise, in another second partial section which merges into the deflection section and/or adjoins the deflection section, chain links which are pivotally connected relative to one another in at least one other direction, in particular about a second axis perpendicular to the guide plane.
- the proposed system is characterized by the fact that the cable guide device has flexible longitudinal sections that have different degrees of freedom and/or different flexibility and/or different rigidity in partial areas or sections of their longitudinal extension.
- the end sections that are to be attached to the car bodies are provided with different or higher degrees of freedom than in a subsequent second section, which merges into and/or connects to the deflection section.
- the cable routing can be designed to be more rigid in order to counteract sagging due to gravity, i.e., sagging from the guide plane, which preferably corresponds to a plane perpendicular to the pivot axis of the car bodies.
- the first longitudinal section has different or higher degrees of freedom in its first subsection than in its second subsection
- the second longitudinal section has different or higher degrees of freedom in its first subsection than in its second subsection. This can be achieved, for example, by suitably selecting the chain links with regard to their pivotal connection in the subsections and/or by suitably adjusting their pivotability by one or more additional components.
- the first section is shorter in the longitudinal direction or direction of the cable guide device than the second section.
- the second section of the first and second flexible longitudinal sections each has reduced flexibility or increased flexural rigidity compared to the first section, in particular against sagging or bending, and/or is preferably designed to be at least largely self-supporting. This counteracts sagging from the guide plane or the plane perpendicular to the pivot axis of the car bodies.
- This area-dependent difference in flexibility or flexural rigidity can be realized in various ways, e.g., by pre-tensioning a cable guide chain of a suitable design.
- the first and second flexible longitudinal sections are each designed or constructed continuously over the first and second partial sections from chain links of an energy guide chain which are connected to one another in an articulated manner and which extend in at least two mutually perpendicular directions is deflectable.
- a spatially deflectable energy guide chain is used, which is composed of chain links which are connected or linked in pairs so as to be pivotable relative to one another in at least two directions, in particular in a cardanic or ball-joint manner.
- the different flexibility or flexural rigidity can advantageously be achieved in certain areas by providing a spring-elastic support element in the second section, which interacts with the energy guide chain in a load-bearing manner in the guide plane.
- a support element is not provided in the first section, so that the first section has a different, in particular higher, flexibility and/or other, in particular higher, degrees of freedom.
- the second section can be at least predominantly self-supporting, i.e. it can bridge an area of the space between car bodies without support.
- the spring-elastic support element is accommodated or arranged within the spatially deflectable energy guide chain.
- the spring-elastic support element is preferably selected such that it causes - in particular when deflected by pivoting movement of the coupled car bodies - an automatic reset of the energy guide chain, in particular into an at least partially substantially straight or stretched position of the energy guide chain in the second sub-section.
- each spring-elastic support element is designed as a rod-shaped spring element or as a leaf spring-like spring element which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the energy guide chain and is in particular dimensioned so that it can be arranged within the energy guide chain.

- the cable guide device has at least one deflectable energy guide chain which is at least predominantly or completely continuous from the first longitudinal section via the deflection section to the second longitudinal section and which comprises a plurality of chain links which are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
- the chain links are pivotable relative to each other in at least two directions which are essentially perpendicular to each other, e.g. according to the chain construction of WO 94/18735 A1 or according to the Chain construction from WO 00/63583 Al.
- a spatially deflectable energy guide chain which has proven itself for applications on industrial robots, e.g. according to the chain design from WO 2004/093279 Al.

- the chain links can have radial webs which comprise at least one through-opening for a spring-elastic support element.
- the chain links form tensile force-absorbing joints, which are arranged within the casing elements and link the chain links in the longitudinal direction, preferably in the form of a ball joint.
- Such chain links can form a substantially circular radially outer casing, thus preventing jamming against other components in the space between the car bodies.
- the chain links can each have sheath elements that are at least largely closed around their circumference, with the chain links interlocking with longitudinally successive sheath elements to form a longitudinally closed energy guide chain. This provides improved protection against external influences.

- the joint system which is not fully illustrated, further comprises an articulated front bearing 4 for pitching movements of the car bodies 1, 2 relative to one another about a horizontal pitch axis B, see also FIGS. 5A-5D.
- the joint system itself is not the subject of the present invention and is therefore not described in detail.
- supply lines must be laid between the individual car bodies.
- These supply lines can be of various types and include, in particular, electrical supply lines, for example, high-voltage lines in the case of an electric bus or DC lines for connecting roof-mounted electric batteries, but also media lines for fluids, such as hoses for air conditioning.

- the system 7 comprises, as a cable guide device for guiding the supply lines, at least one or, as shown here, several spatially deflectable energy guide chains 10, which may have a known design, for example, according to WO 2004/093279 A1.
- energy guide chains 10 are already known, in particular for applications on industrial robots.
- the energy guide chains 10 serve to guide supply lines in an inner channel in a protected manner, so that the lines (not shown) are protected, in particular, against undesired kinking and a minimum radius of curvature is always maintained.
- Each of the two energy guiding chains 10 is arranged in such a way, viewed in the direction of travel, that it has a flexible first longitudinal section 11, a flexible second longitudinal section 12 and an intermediate deflection section 13 connecting the two longitudinal sections 11, 12.
- Each of the energy guiding chains 10 runs in a substantially horizontal guide plane corresponding to the plane in FIG. 1B, i.e. perpendicular to the pivot axis of the car bodies 1, 2, but is flexibly movable from this position in accordance with the relative movement of the car bodies 1, 2, as illustrated, for example, in FIGS. 5A-5D.

This is ensured anyway with the preferred use of spatially deflectable energy guiding chains 10.
- the energy guiding chains 10 are arranged and equipped or configured such that the flexible longitudinal sections 11, 12 each comprise, in a further second subsection 11B, 12B, which merges into the deflection section 13 or at least adjoins it, chain links which are pivotally connected relative to one another in a different direction, namely about a second axis perpendicular to the guide plane E. This is also the case with The use of spatially deflectable energy chains is inherently guaranteed.

- the spring bars 18 are provided over a partial length, namely in the second partial section 11B, 12B of the two longitudinal sections 11, 12, in order to ensure flexural rigidity against bending or sagging of the energy guide chains 10 in the cantilevered area.
- the spring bars achieve an automatic restoring effect and a relatively symmetrical bending behavior of the energy guide chains 11 with respect to pivoting movements of the car bodies 1, 2, see the course in FIGS. 5A-5B.
- the spring bars are secured by means of a stiffening by threaded rods 19 for the rigid connection of several chain links 20 in the transition to the deflection section 13 by insertion into corresponding openings of the chain links 20 due to their conical, tapered shape.
- this section, stiffened by threaded rods 19 is firmly mounted on the support bracket 16 in the transition between the second section 11B, 12B and the deflection section 13. Accordingly, the resilient spring rods 18 are held and fastened on one side in a cantilevered manner on the support bracket 16 and via this to the central frame 5.
- the spring bars 18 inserted into the energy guide chains 10 as a spring-elastic support element define the length of the second section 11B, 12B of the flexible longitudinal sections 11, 12 of the energy guide chains 10.
- the length of the spring bars 18 is selected accordingly.

- the chain links 20 are connected in pairs in a ball-and-socket manner and are spatially pivotable.
- the connection comprising the joint elements 21A, 21B according to WO 2004/093279 A1 is particularly robust against tensile forces compared to other spatially deflectable energy guiding chains, yet can still be released as needed, e.g., for maintenance or inspection purposes.
- a cardanic joint connection between the chain links 20, so that they can be pivoted relative to each other in at least two directions that are essentially perpendicular to each other, is also possible.
- the chain links 20 have outer casing elements 22, which are

Chain links 20 made of plastic are lightweight and avoid electrically conductive parts on the energy guide chain, which offers advantages particularly when guiding high-voltage lines.
- the chain links 20 furthermore each have a through-opening 26 in at least one of the radial webs 25, so that a resilient spring rod 18 serving as a support element, as shown in FIGS. 3A-3C, can be guided through the chain links 20 in the longitudinal direction of the energy guide chain 10 without impairing the guide channel 23 and the cables guided therein.
