Preferably, the vertical elastic elements 40 are springs. Of course, in order to prevent wear of the friction block 20 and the swing bolster, a wearing sleeve may be mounted between the friction block 20 and the swing bolster.

(9) In the embodiments as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 are both arranged in the mounting cavity 11, and movement directions of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 relative to the swing bolster are perpendicular to the movement direction of the swing bolster body, and then when the swing bolster moves, acting directions of the vertical elastic elements 40 are perpendicular to the movement directions of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22, so that the influence of the movement of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 on the vibration reduction effect of the vertical elastic elements 40 is eliminated, and the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly is further endowed with the characteristic of good vibration reduction effects during unloaded running.

(10) In the embodiments as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the horizontal elastic element 30 is arranged between the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22, so that there always exists pressing force for keeping the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 far away from each other between the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22, and when the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly is mounted at a certain fixed position, the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly is endowed with certain damping force under the action of stable pressing force of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 in the horizontal direction and at the fixed position, and the movement reliability of the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly is ensured.

(11) In the embodiments as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the bottom end of the middle wedge 23 extending from the first vertical hole 12, and at least one vertical elastic element 40 is positioned under the bottom end of the middle wedge 23, so that when the swing bolster moves downwards, the middle wedge 23 is driven by the swing bolster to move together, and the vertical elastic element 40 is pressed downwards by the middle wedge 23 to realize a vibration reduction function. Preferably, a circular naval for limiting the displacement of the vertical elastic elements 40 is arranged at the bottom end of the middle wedge 23. The middle wedge 23 is matched with the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 224 sloped portions, so that when the swing bolster moves, acting force between the middle wedge 23 and each of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 may be changed along with the weight of a load, and the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly always has enough damping force.

Since the middle wedge 23 rigidly contacts with the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22, when the load is further increased, the acting force between the middle wedge 23 and each of the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22 may be increased to ensure that the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly can effectively reduce vibration even when bearing a heavy load and ensure the vibration reduction reliability of the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly. Meanwhile, after the middle wedge 23 is rigidly pressed against the first friction block 21 and the second friction block 22, the three may not move relatively along with the movement of the swing bolster, so that wear between each part is reduced, the service life of each part is prolonged, the movement stability and vibration reduction reliability of the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly are ensured, and the using reliability of the swing bolster vibration reduction assembly is improved.
