32、nts 4.1 Rescue coupler characteristics The rescue coupler shall be compatible with: the Scharfenberg system type 10 automatic coupler2)having the dimensions specified in Annex A and the draw hook having the dimensions shown in Figure C.1. The main dimensions and characteristics of the rescue coupler
33、 shall be as given in Annex B. The mass of the complete rescue coupler in its operational condition shall not exceed 50 kg. The rescue coupler shall be able to withstand the following loads without permanent deformation: maximum tensile load = 300 kN; maximum compressive load = 250 kN. NOTE There ar
34、e no fatigue requirements for the rescue coupler. The rescue coupler shall be equipped with handles or components which serve as such for transport and lifting. Material certificates and weld-classes used shall meet current requirements. Welded parts shall be in accordance with prEN 15085 and EN ISO
35、 5817. 4.2 Rescue vehicle characteristics The rescue vehicle characteristics to be taken into account are defined as follows: connections for electric cables and air pipes on head stocks of locomotives (see Figure C.3); draw hook (see Figure C.1). Due to different markings located on both sides of t
36、he hook it is compulsory to consider a 2059+mm hook width; pneumatic coupling for brake pipe and main air reservoir pipe (see Annex D). The rescue coupler pneumatic pipes and their connections shall be provided for a 10 bar pressure. 2) Scharfenberg is a registered trademark of Voith Turbo Scharfenb

38、020:2006+A1:2010 (E) 6 4.3 Fitting procedure The rescue coupler shall be placed close to the front of the rescue vehicle. The rescue coupler shall be mounted on the draw hook. It shall be possible for the coupler to be lifted and mounted onto the draw hook of the rescue vehicle by no more than two p
39、ersons. The available space around the draw hook of the rescue vehicle shall be taken into account. Mounting of the rescue coupler on the draw hook shall not require any special tools. The coupler shall be secured to the draw hook with a fixing device in such a way that it cannot freely move or come
40、 off the draw hook during the rescue operation. Once the rescue coupler is mounted on the draw hook of the rescue vehicle: the installed rescue coupler shall have at least 6 vertical movement from the horizontal during operation; it shall be possible for the coupler to be adjusted vertically on the
41、draw hook without the need for special tools; coupling and uncoupling operation shall not require any human presence between the rescue vehicle and the failed train unit or train set whilst either is being moved; the rescue coupler and the pneumatic hoses shall not limit the maximum lateral movement
42、 of the draw hook. 4.4 Coupling conditions 4.4.1 Mechanical coupling The mechanical coupling between the automatic coupler on the failed train set and the rescue coupler on the rescue vehicle shall be automatic. It shall be possible to couple a train set to a rescue vehicle in a 150 m radius curve.
43、For vehicles fitted with automatic couplers, the car builder shall demonstrate: automatic coupling with a rescue coupler uncoupling performance in 150 m radius curve conditions. The rescue coupler shall be designed to ensure that coupling is possible when the height mismatch between the centre lines
44、 of the automatic coupler and the draw hook is up to 75 mm. Use of guide horn is not compulsory if this requirement is fulfilled by the vertical adjustability of the rescue coupler. Coupling operation should be done as follows: at a speed not exceeding 2 km/h; the rescue coupler shall be aligned in
45、order to be coupled with the mating automatic coupler of the failed train unit or train set to be rescued.

46、upler. Therefore, the rescue coupler air pipe ends shall be equipped with air pipe coupling heads which allow manual connection of the rescue vehicle air pipes (see Figure 1). Following testing on location at the manufacturers establishment the air pipes connected to the rescue coupler shall be free
47、 to rotate about their axes . In the case of pneumatic hoses that can be removed from the coupler body, it shall not be possible to refit the hoses incorrectly. The pipe length (brake pipe and main reservoir pipe) shall be sufficient in order to ensure safe connection between the pipes of the rescue
48、 coupler and the rescue vehicle. After completion of the mechanical coupling operation and the connection of the air pipes, the end-cocks on the rescue vehicle shall be open.
