Abstract

Based on the analysis of the mechanical structure of the traditional rail car, a new type of rail car is proposed with the actual operation requirements. The mechanical structure design with the front wheel guiding mechanism ,body steering bearing mechanism and a new self-adaptive mechanism respectively，which could enable the car to run normally in the deformed rail and optimize turning performance of the car .The parameters of the self-adaptive mechanism and the required torque are analyzed from the kinetic view, and an accurate and reliable virtual prototype model was established through combining the virtual prototype technology with Pro/E and Adams modeling simulation. The simulation results show that the design of the virtual prototype model is consistent with the mathematical model along with the friction is reducing significantly when turning the car and the function that self-adaptive deformed rail is realized. This verifies the rationality and practical feasibility of the mechanical structure for this rail car which also provides a useful reference for the further development of the rail car prototype.
