- The ventilating equipment for rolling stock is particularly suitable for rolling stock vehicles which run through a tunnel at high speed.
- When rolling stock pass through the tunnel at high speed, the pressure around the vehicles rapidly changes. Particularly, when the vehicles pass each other within the tunnel, the change in pressure around the vehicles becomes maximum. When the pressure around the vehicles changes in a manner as described, a change in pressure is transmitted to the interior of the vehicles. Such a change in pressure brings forth an uncomfortable feeling to passengers and the like. To clear such a problem, the US-A-3 563 155 and the like have been known. That is, a ventilating equipment disclosed in said patent comprises an air supply means for supplying outside air into the air-tight vehicle and an exhaust means for discharging the contaminated air from the interior of the vehicle to the exterior.

- In the ventilating equipment according to the US-A-3 563 155 since each of blowers for the air supply means and exhaust means, respectively, is driven under the high output condition, noises or power consumption increases. In addition, the blower itself becomes large in size, causing a problem in that a large installation space is required.
- On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 9022/1983, no consideration is taken into a variation in pressure around the vehicles when the rolling stock run the tunnel.
- It is the problem of the present invention to provide a ventilating equipment for rolling stock which can regulate a change in pressure within the vehicle resulting from a sudden change in pressure outside the vehicle and simplify the construction of the ventilating equipment itself.
- Starting out from the ventilating equipment of the generic kind this problem is solved in that there are disposed in both air flowpassage on the air intake side of said air supply means and air flowpassage on the air exhaust side of said exhaust means, plate-like flexing means for respectively narrowing said air flowpassages in accordance with changes in the outside air pressure.
- Preferably each of that plate-like flexing means comprises a pair of flexible plates arranged in the associated one of the air flowpassages of said air supply means and said exhaust means, and a stopper provided corresponding to said pair of flexible plates, respectively, each of said flexible plates being arranged so as to respond to changes in the outside air pressure and having one end fixed to a wall of the associated air flowpassage and the other end set free, and said flexible plates are arranged being spaced from each other so that the free end of one of the flexible plates comes into contact with the other flexible plate when the flexible plates flex.

Thestopper 21b supports theflexible plate 20b so that theflexible plate 20b will not deflect toward the downstream of the air flowing passage from the position at the right angle to the air flowing direction. Incidentally, theflexible plate 20a has a rigidity by which the plate is not deflected when the normal air flow, as indicated by the dotted lines arrow in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, and has a rigidity by which when the air flow increases more than that of the normal state and the air flow indicated by the solid line arrow in Fig. 3 impinges upon the plate, the plate is deflected. On the other hand, theflexible plate 20b is lower in the rigidity than theflexible plate 20a, and has the rigidity to the extend that theflexible plate 20b is deflected a reverse flow of air as indicated by the solid line arrow in Fig. 4 occurs.Reference numeral 22a designates a guide plate provided upstream of the air flowpassage of theflexible plate 20a. Theguide plate 22a has the size corresponding to the whole surface of theflexible plate 20a to prevent the air flow from directly applying theflexible plate 20a. Theguide plate 22a has a curved shape for smoothly guiding the air flow.Reference numeral 22b designates a guide plate provided downstream of the air flowpassage of theflexible plate 20b. Theguide plate 22b has the size corresponding to the whole surface of theflexible plate 20b to prevent the air flow from directly applying theflexible plate 20b in case of reverse air flow. - The function of the air flowpassage adjustable means 4 and 12 will be described hereinafter with reference to Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
- Fig. 2 shows the normal ventilating state of the air flowpassage adjustable means. Both the
flexible plates - When the vehicles run at a speed of 200 km/hr, for example, and pass each other in the tunnel, the pressure outside the vehicle changes as shown by the curve Pout in Fig. 8. That is, in the stage before the vehicles pass each other, the pressure outside the vehicles increases up to 198 mm Aq at the maximum. On the other hand, after the vehicles pass each other, the pressure outside the vehicles suddenly lowers down to -491 mm Aq.
- In Fig. 8, the axis of abscissa represents time passage t (min), and the axis of ordinate represents pressure P (mm Aq).
- Fig. 7 shows the uncomfortableness region A in which passengers within the vehicle feed the uncomfortableness with respect to the absolute value Px of the change in pressure outside the vehicles and the variation gradient dP/dt in change of the pressure outside the vehicles. In Fig. 7, the axis of abscissa represents the absolute value Px of the change in pressure outside the vehicles and the axis of ordinate represents the gradient dP/dt in change of the pressure outside the vehicles. The hatched portion in Fig. is the uncomfortable region A. This uncomfortable region A is experimentally known. The cause wherein passengers in the vehicle running at high speeds feel uncomfortable is the absolute value Px of the change in pressure outside the vehicles and the gradient dP/dt in change of the pressure outside the vehicles.
- The function of the air flowpassage
adjustable means 4 under this state will be described with reference to Fig. 3. When the pressure outside the vehicles suddenly increases an described above as indicated by the solid line arrow, a pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the air flowpassage of theflexible plate 20a exceeds the rigidity of theflexible plate 20a due to the change in pressure, and therefore theflexible plate 20a deflects toward theflexible plate 20b. The area of the air flowpassage is narrowed by of theflexible plate 20a to regulate the function of the pressure outside vehicle into the vehicle. If the change in pressure outside vehicle is large, theflexible plate 20a is greatly deflected toward theflexible plate 20b to shut off air flowpassage. At that time, the change of the pressure outside vehicle will not be transmitted into the vehicle, and air outside vehicle will not be supplied into the vehicle. The air flowpassage is shut off by theflexible plate 20a, thus the ventilation of the vehicle is not dore. However, the time when the vehicles pass each other within the tunnel and the duration of the change of pressure outside vehicles is only a few seconds. Accordingly, even if the air outside vehicles is not supplied into the vehicle, there occurs no problem. - The function of the air flowpassage adjustable 4 when the pressure outside vehicles suddenly drops as indicated as D in Fig. 8 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. When the change in pressure on the negative pressure side is transmitted between the
flexible plate 20a and theflexible plate 20b as indicated by the solid line arrow in Fig. 4, the air in the air flowpassage is reversed by the large change in pressure. Theflexible plate 20b is deflected toward theflexible plate 20a as the result that the pressure on the side of theflexible plate 20a is lower. The area of the air flowpassage can be narrowed as the result that theflexible plate 20b deflects. Accordingly, the transmission of the pressure outside vehicle into the vehicle can be regulated. If the change in pressure outside vehicle is large, theflexible plate 20b shuts off the air flowpassage. At this time, a supply of air outside vehicle stops, which brings no problem because such duration of such a phenomenon is in a short period of time. - The operating condition when the pressure outside vehicle of the air flowpassage adjustable means increases, corresponds to that shown in Fig. 3. The operating condition, when the pressure outside vehicle of the air flowpassage adjustable means 12 decreases, corresponds to that shown in Fig. 4.
- When the change in pressure outside vehicle suddenly occurs whereby said pressure change is directly transmitted to the
flexible plate flexible plate flexible plate flexible plate Guide plates flexible plates guide plates flexible plates flexible plates - According to the arrangement as described above, when the sudden change in pressure outside vehicle occurs, the
flexible plates adjustable means - Next, the
flexible plate 20b has lower rigidity than theflexible plate 20a. That is, theflexible plate 20b is not deflected in the normal operating state since it is supported by thestopper 21b. However, when a reverse flow occurs in the air flowpassage as shown by the solid line arrow in Fig. 4, it is necessary to quickly narrow the area of the air flowpassage. Thus, theflexible plate 20b is formed to have a low rigidity so that incase a reverse flow occurs in the air flowpassage, the area of the air flowpassage can be rapidly narrowed. The reverse flow of air in the air flowpassage of theair supply equipment 3 andexhaust air equipment 10 causes the pressure in the vehicle to change rapidly. It is therefore particularly effective that when the reverse flow occurs, the area of the air flowpassage is rapidly narrowed. - Next, the
guide plates flexible plates guide plates flexible plates flexible plates - Another embodiment of the
flexible plates Reference numeral 20c designates a flexible plate in which flaps 23 are mounted on both ends. Theflaps 23 are mounted on theflexible plate 20c bysupports 24 such as rivets, screws or the like. The flaps are in contact with the inner wall of the air flowpassage. Accordingly, by the deflection of theflexible Plate 20c, the resistance due to the friction occurs between theflap 23 and the inner wall of the air flowpassage. The self-excitation oscillations of theflexible plate 20c can be prevented by the resistance. If theflaps 23 are provided on the flexible plate, saidguide plates - The contact force of the
flaps 23 on the inner wall of the air flowpassage or the rigidity and width of the flaps themselves can be freely adjusted by the rigidity of theflexible plate 20c or the maximum value of the change in pressure outside vehicle.
