32、ing uncoupling of the coupler locks 4 Product requirements 4.1 Automatic coupler head characteristics The coupler head of the automatic coupler shall be equipped with a pivoting coupler lock, enabling the mechanical connection of two vehicles. The coupler lock consists of the following parts: hook p
33、late, coupling link, central pin, tension springs, release bar holder, and release bar with trigger device. In order to ensure a maximum gathering range, both vertically and horizontally, the coupler head shall be provided with male cone, female cone and gathering horn, such that the couplers can be
34、 aligned and centred also in curves and in case of vertical mismatch. The coupler head dimensions shall be according to Annex A. Tolerances for dimensions shall be according to ISO 2768, tolerance class mK, unless otherwise specified in this standard. The principle arrangement of a coupler head is s
35、hown in Figure 1. Alternatives to this principle arrangement are allowed as long as functional and interface compatibility are maintained and the clauses of this standard remain applicable.

36、pring 12 release bar 3 main pin 8 coupling link pin 13 trigger 4 hook plate 9 coupler head housing 5 coupling link 10 release bar holder Figure 1 Principle arrangement of coupler head When coupled, the coupler lock elements are subjected to tensile load and form a parallelogram ensuring equilibrium
37、of forces and an equal load distribution onto both coupling links. The equilibrium of forces prevents involuntary unlocking of the coupler locks and reduces wear. Compressive loads are transmitted through the flat coupler faces of the coupler heads. The automatic coupler head shall be designed to wi
38、thstand the following forces without permanent deformation: tensile load = 1 000 kN; compressive load = 1 500 kN. These values are for normal operating conditions. If the coupler is used only for rescue conditions, lower values are allowed; these loads are defined in EN 15020. BS EN 16019:2014EN 160
39、19:2014 (E) 8 When coupled, the coupler locks ensure a nearly slack-free connection between the automatic couplers. Coupler lock play is evidenced by a distance between the coupler faces of two coupled coupler heads. An example of how to measure coupler lock play of a single coupler is shown in Anne
40、x C. Coupler lock play of a single coupler shall not exceed 0,8 mm in the new condition. 4.2 Coupling system positions 4.2.1 General The state of coupling shall be made visible e.g. by contrasting coloured release bar or any other solution. 4.2.2 Ready-to-couple position In the ready-to-couple posit
41、ion, the coupling link shall be retracted and lie close to the edge of the male cone and the release bar shall hold the hook plate. In this position, where the tension springs are loaded, the release bar shall project over the side of the coupler head housing and shall be engaged with the catch of t
42、he trigger device. See Figure 2. Figure 2 Ready-to-couple position 4.2.3 Coupled position As the coupler faces mate, the male cones entering the female cones shall press the triggers backwards, in order for the release bars to be released. The release bar shall be retracted in the coupler head housi
43、ngs when they engage with the trigger devices. After the release bars have been released, the tension springs shall turn the hook plates counter clockwise until they reach the stops in the coupler head housings. In the coupled position, the coupler locks are engaged. See Figure 3. The release bar sh
44、all be retreated into the coupler head housings when they engage with the trigger devices. BS EN 16019:2014EN 16019:2014 (E) 9 Figure 3 Coupled position 4.2.4 Uncoupled position In this position, the release bars shall retain the hook plates by engaging with the trigger devices. As the couplers move
45、 apart, the locking system returns to the ready-to-couple position. The release bars shall protrude from the coupler head housings when they engage with the trigger devices. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Uncoupled position 4.3 Coupling requirements 4.3.1 Mechanical coupling The mechanical coupling procedur
46、e between two couplers shall be automatic. The coupler should be designed to ensure that coupling is possible when the vertical and horizontal mismatch is inside the gathering range shown in Figure B.1 and Figure B.2 with parallel surfaces, i.e. when the centre of the opposite coupler is mismatched
47、up to the chain dotted edge of central point “M“ of the coupler in the drawing. BS EN 16019:2014EN 16019:2014 (E) 10 If the coupler faces are in an angular position relative to each other, the projection of the opposite coupler “M“ point should hit inside the hatched surface of Figure B.1 and Figure
48、 B.2. Additionally, the first contact point shall be external to the triangular area formed by the lines 3 and 4 in Figure 5. This ensures a successful coupling. Figure 6 shows an unsuccessful coupling position since the first contact point is within the triangular area formed by the lines 3 and 4.
