Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to an aerodynamic noise reducing member for reducing aerodynamic noise generated in a disc brake for a railroad vehicle, and a brake disc unit, a disc brake, a wheel, and a railroad vehicle including the aerodynamic noise reducing member.
Background technology
[0002]
Conventionally, disc brakes have been used in railway vehicles such as the Shinkansen. The disc brake has, for example, a ring-shaped brake disc fixed to a disc-shaped rotating member (a wheel or a disc body fixed to the axle separately from the wheel) that rotates integrally with the axle, and a friction member. It is equipped with a brake lining and a brake caliper that moves the brake lining.
[0003]
In a disc brake having the above configuration, a braking force can be generated by moving the brake lining by a brake caliper and pressing a friction member of the brake lining against the surface (sliding surface) of the brake disc. As a result, the railroad vehicle can be decelerated.
[0004]
By the way, when a railroad vehicle is running, the brake disc rotates at high speed together with the wheels. As the brake disc rotates at high speed, the air around the brake disc is sucked from the inner peripheral side of the brake disc between the above-mentioned rotating members (wheels, etc.) and the brake disc, and then the outer peripheral side of the brake disc. Is released from. Therefore, when the railway vehicle is traveling, air flows between the brake disc and the rotating member at high speed.
[0005]
This air flow allows the brake disc to be cooled during braking. On the other hand, when a railroad vehicle is traveling at a speed exceeding 300 km / h, there arises a problem that noise (hereinafter referred to as aerodynamic noise) is generated due to a high-speed air flow. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the present inventors have proposed a brake disc capable of reducing aerodynamic noise (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0006]
FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a brake disc disclosed in Patent Document 1. The brake disc 1 shown in FIG. 12 has a plate portion 1a having a surface (sliding surface) on which a brake lining (not shown) is pressed, and a plurality of fin portions provided on the back surface side (wheel 2 side) of the plate portion 1a. It includes 1b and a connecting portion 1c that connects adjacent fin portions 1b to each other. Through holes 1d for fastening are formed in a predetermined number of fin portions 1b among the plurality of fin portions 1b. A bolt 3 for attaching the brake disc 1 to the wheel 2 is passed through the through hole 1d.
[0007]
In the above configuration, when the brake disc 1 and the wheel 2 rotate, the air around the brake disc 1 is surrounded by the space S (plate portion 1a, adjacent fin portions 1b and wheel 2) from the inner peripheral side of the brake disc 1. After being sucked into the space () and passing through the space S, it is released from the outer peripheral side of the brake disc 1.
[0008]
Here, in the brake disc 1 of Patent Document 1, the cross-sectional area of the space S can be partially reduced by the connecting portion 1c. As a result, the air flow is suppressed and the aerodynamic noise is reduced.

Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0010]
By the way, in the brake disc 1 disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to provide the connecting portion 1c so as to connect the fin portions 1b to each other on the back surface of the plate portion 1a. Therefore, in the brake disc 1 of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to integrally form the plate portion 1a, the fin portion 1b, and the connecting portion 1c.
[0011]
However, as a result of the research by the present inventors, it has been found that when the plate portion 1a, the fin portion 1b and the connecting portion 1c are integrally formed, the plate portion 1a is likely to be warped. Specifically, when the plate portion 1a, the fin portion 1b, and the connecting portion 1c are integrally formed, the rigidity of the portion of the brake disc 1 in the vicinity of the connecting portion 1c is higher than the rigidity of the other portion. .. Therefore, when the brake disc 1 becomes hot during braking, other parts of the brake disc 1 are more likely to be deformed than the portion in the vicinity of the connecting portion 1c. As a result, the plate portion 1a is likely to be warped. When the plate portion 1a is warped, bending stress is applied to the bolt 3. Therefore, when the configuration of Patent Document 1 is adopted, the shape and rigidity of the plate portion 1a, the fin portion 1b, and the connecting portion 1c that are integrally formed so that bending of the plate portion 1a can be suppressed. It is necessary to properly design the brake disc 1 in consideration of the above. In other words, when the configuration of Patent Document 1 is adopted, the design for suppressing the warp of the plate portion 1a is not easy.
[0012]
Therefore, the present invention provides an aerodynamic noise reduction member capable of suppressing the generation of aerodynamic noise while facilitating the design of a railroad vehicle brake disc, a railroad vehicle brake disc unit provided with the same, a railroad vehicle disc brake, and a railroad vehicle. It is intended to provide wheels and rolling stock.

As a result, the aerodynamic noise reducing member 30 can be easily and appropriately attached to the brake disc 20 and the wheels 102.
[0041]
The plurality of projecting portions 34 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the supporting portion 32. Each of the plurality of projecting portions 34 is provided so as to close a part between the fins adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction in a state where the support portion 32 is sandwiched between the plurality of fins 24 and 26 and the wheels 102. In the present embodiment, each protrusion 34 is provided so as to partially close between the adjacent fastening fin 24 and the locking fin 26. In the present embodiment, the number of the plurality of projecting portions 34 is the same as the number of the plurality of fins 24 and 26 (the total number of the plurality of fastening fins 24 and the plurality of locking fins 26).
[0042]
Further, in the present embodiment, the length of the plurality of protruding portions 34 is shorter than the length of the plurality of fins 24, 26 in the radial direction of the plate-shaped portion 22. This makes it possible to reduce the weight of the aerodynamic sound reducing member 30.
[0043]
Further, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, each of the plurality of projecting portions 34 is provided so as to project from the supporting portion 32 toward the plate-shaped portion 22 side. In the present embodiment, in a state where the support portion 32 is sandwiched between the plurality of fins 24 and 26 and the wheels 102 (see FIG. 1), a gap is formed between the plurality of projecting portions 34 and the plate-shaped portion 22.

As a result, the brake disc 20 can be appropriately cooled during braking. In the cross section perpendicular to the radial direction of the plate-shaped portion 22 (cross section parallel to the circumferential direction), the total area of the gaps between the plurality of projecting portions 34 and the plate-shaped portion 22 is set to , for example, 18000 mm 2 or less. .. Further, the total area is set to , for example, 2500 mm 2 or more. The total area can be appropriately changed depending on the dimensions, shape, usage environment, and the like of the disc brake 100.
[0044]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the aerodynamic noise reducing member 30 is provided between the brake disc 20 and the wheels 102. Then, a part of the space between the adjacent fastening fins 24 and the locking fins 26 is closed by the plurality of protruding portions 34 of the aerodynamic sound reducing member 30. As a result, when the railroad vehicle is traveling, the air flow between the brake disc 20 and the wheels 102 can be suppressed, and the aerodynamic noise can be reduced.
[0045]
Further, in the present embodiment, the aerodynamic noise can be suppressed by the protruding portion 34 of the aerodynamic noise reducing member 30 which is configured as a component separate from the brake disc 20. In this case, since the protruding portion 34 does not affect the rigidity of the brake disc 20, the design of the brake disc 20 becomes easy. That is, the design for suppressing the warp of the plate-shaped portion 22 becomes easy.
[0046]
As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of aerodynamic noise in the disc brake 100 while facilitating the design of the brake disc 20.
[0047]
The shape of the protrusion 34 is not limited to the above example. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in a cross section orthogonal to the circumferential direction of the plate-shaped portion 22, the tip end portion (end portion on the plate-shaped portion 22 side) of the protruding portion 34 is a wheel 102 (see FIG. 1). May be curved outward in the radial direction with respect to the axial direction (thickness direction of the support portion 32). In this case, when the railroad vehicle is traveling, air can be smoothly flowed from the inside of the protrusion 34 to the outside of the protrusion 34 in the radial direction of the plate-shaped portion 22 as indicated by the arrow of the alternate long and short dash line. As a result, the brake disc 20 can be efficiently cooled. Further, since it is possible to prevent the pressure of the airflow from fluctuating significantly in the vicinity of the tip portion of the protruding portion 34, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of vibration in the protruding portion 34. As a result, the generation of noise can be sufficiently suppressed, and the deterioration of the protruding portion 34 can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0048]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in the cross section orthogonal to the circumferential direction of the plate-shaped portion 22, the protruding portion 34 is in the radial direction with respect to the axial direction (thickness direction of the support portion 32) of the wheel 102 (see FIG. 1). It may be inclined toward the outside. In this case as well, the same effect as that of the protruding portion 34 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 can be obtained. Although detailed description is omitted, in the cross section orthogonal to the circumferential direction of the plate-shaped portion 22, the radial inner surface of the tip portion of the protruding portion 34 faces the radial outer side with respect to the axial direction of the wheel 102. If it is curved or inclined, the same effect as described above can be obtained. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, even when the radial dimension (diametrical dimension of the plate-shaped portion 22) of the end portion of the protruding portion 34 on the support portion 32 side is increased, FIGS. The same effect as that of the protruding portion 34 shown in FIG. 8 can be obtained. In the protruding portion 34 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the rigidity can be improved as compared with the protruding portion 34 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, so that the vibration of the protruding portion 34 can be generated more effectively. Can be suppressed. Although the protruding portion 34 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has a hollow portion, the hollow portion may not be formed.
[0049]
In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of protruding portions 34 are provided at the central portion of the plate-shaped portion 22 in the radial direction, but the position of the protruding portion 34 is not limited to the above-mentioned example. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a plurality of protrusions 34 may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the plate-shaped portion 22, and as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the plurality of protrusions 34 are plates. It may be provided on the inner peripheral portion of the shape portion 22.
[0050]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the aerodynamic sound reducing member 30 is composed of one member having a ring shape has been described, but the configuration of the aerodynamic sound reducing member 30 is not limited to the above example. For example, the aerodynamic sound reducing member 30 may have a structure divided into a plurality of members in the circumferential direction. Further, the aerodynamic sound reducing member does not have to have an annular shape. For example, a plurality of arc-shaped aerodynamic noise reducing members may be provided between the brake disc 20 and the wheels 102 at intervals in the circumferential direction.
[0051]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of the plurality of projecting portions 34 is the same as the number of the plurality of fins 24 and 26 (the total number of the plurality of fastening fins 24 and the plurality of locking fins 26) has been described. However, the number of the plurality of protrusions 34 may be less than the number of the plurality of fins 24, 26.
[0052]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, at least one of the first through hole 60 and the key groove 62 is formed in each fin, but in any of the plurality of fins, the first through hole is formed. The 60 and the keyway 62 may not be formed.
[0053]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the brake disc unit 10 is a side disc type has been described, but the brake disc unit 10 may be an axle mounted disk type. Specifically, the brake disc unit 10 may be fixed to a disk-shaped rotating member (disc body) fixed to the axle 101 separately from the wheels. Like the wheels, the disc body is provided so as to rotate integrally with the axle 101 and coaxially with the axle 101. Even when the brake disc unit 10 is a shaft mount disc type, the brake disc unit 10 is attached to the disc body by using a fastening member and a key as in the case of the side disc type. In the present specification, the disk-shaped rotating member means a rotating member having a disk portion for fixing the brake disc unit 10. Therefore, as in the wheel 102 shown in FIG. 1, tubular portions may be provided on the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member.
