Abstract

Articulated double-deck train consisting of double-deck intermediate units and head units which are connected in an articulated fashion and can be coupled and decoupled. The double-deck intermediate units are provided at one end with a drivable single-axle bogey (6) or if desired with a non-driven single-axle bogey. The other end rests in the coupled state on the coupling component 14 of an articulated coupling on the following unit. In the uncoupled state, a double-deck intermediate unit is supported on a lowerable bogey with preferably drivable wheel flange rollers. Various types of double-deck intermediate units are present. The essential ones are a double-deck passenger unit (1), a double-deck passenger entry unit (4) and a double-deck entry unit. Double-axle double-deck head units with their own drive, driver's cab and current collector are present as the start and end of the train. With the existing double-deck intermediate units and head units, double-deck articulated trains can be made up with various combinations corresponding to their use, dismantled again and reformed because the coupling used is designed as a disconnectable articulated coupling. <IMAGE>

Description

Doppelstock-Gliederzug, bestehend aus gelenkig verbundenen Kopf- und Zwischen-Einheiten, Einachsfahrwerken bei den Verbindungsgelenken, Einstiegen bei den Zwischen-Einheiten und Durchgängen bei den Verbindungsgelenken.Double-decker articulated train, consisting of articulated head and intermediate units, single-axle trolleys at the connecting joints, entrances at the intermediate units and passages at the connecting joints.

Gliederzüge dieser Art sind als komfortable Hochleistungskompositionen bekannt und werden eingesetzt für schnelle Transportverbindungen im kontinentalen Personenverkehr. Die doppelstöckige Auslegung der Schienenverkehrsmittel hat eine bessere Raumausnützung zum Zweck und ergibt, verglichen mit der einstöckigen Ausführung, eine entsprechend höhere Transportkapazität bei gleicher Zuglänge.Articulated trains of this type are known as comfortable high-performance compositions and are used for fast transport connections in continental passenger transport. The double-decker design of the rail means of transport has a better use of space and, compared to the single-decker version, results in a correspondingly higher transport capacity with the same train length.

Die US-Patentschrift Nr. 3,557,712 offenbart einen doppelstöckigen Gliederzug für den Transport von Automobilen und deren Fahrgäste. Das Unterdeck ist für die Aufnahme der Automobile ausgebildet, welche quer zur Fahrrichtung in entspr. Boxen untergebracht sind. Das seitwärts beidseitig eingezogene Oberdeck ist für die Unterbringung der Fahrgäste vorgesehen. Die Zugsglieder sind untereinander gemäss Fig.4 über ein eigenständiges Einachsfahrwerk gelenkig verbunden, wobei sich die Achse des Radsatzes mit jener des Gelenkes schneidet. Zusätzliche, als Längslenker dienende Hebel sind je horizontal mit den Enden der Zugseinheiten verbunden und halten die Einachsfahrwerke in der vertikalen Lage. Die Art der Gelenkverbindung und die Konstruktion der Einachsfahrwerke lassen darauf schliessen, dass der Gliederzug fest zusammengefügt bleibt und nicht für kurzfristige Aenderungen der Zugslänge vorgesehen ist. Ferner ist dem Zweck entsprechend kein doppelstöckiger Uebergang zwischen den Zugseinheiten vorgesehen und möglich.U.S. Patent No. 3,557,712 discloses a double-decker articulated train for the transportation of automobiles and their passengers. The lower deck is designed to accommodate the automobiles, which are housed in corresponding boxes across the direction of travel. The upper deck, drawn in on both sides, is intended to accommodate passengers. The tension members are articulated to each other according to Figure 4 via an independent single-axle chassis, the axis of the wheelset intersecting with that of the joint. Additional levers serving as trailing arms are connected horizontally to the ends of the train units and hold the single-axle trolleys in the vertical position. The type of articulation and the design of the single-axle running gear suggest that the articulated train remains firmly attached and is not intended for short-term changes in the train length. Furthermore, according to the purpose, no two-story transition between the train units is provided and possible.

Die französische Patentschrift Nr. 1.159.975 und die korrespondierende schweizerische Patentschrift Nr. 350679 beschreiben und zeigen einen doppelstöckigen Schienengelenkzug der oben genannten Art. Der Schwerpunkt der dargestellten Lösung besteht darin, dass bei den Verbindungsgelenken kleinere Räder als üblich und nötig verwendet werden, wodurch der Durchgangsboden beim Verbindungsgelenk tiefer gelegt und so im Uebergangsbereich ebenfalls Doppelstöckigkeit erreicht werden konnte. Eine, diesen Umstand ausnützende, spezielle Innenausführung und -Einrichtung wird nicht offenbart. Die Räder der Kopfeinheiten weisen, aus Gründen der Entgleisungssicherheit, normal grosse Durchmesser auf. Mindestens eine der Kopfeinheiten muss als Triebkopf vorgesehen werden.French Patent No. 1,159,975 and the corresponding Swiss Patent No. 350679 describe and show a double-decker rail articulated train of the type mentioned above. The focus of the solution presented is that the connecting joints use smaller wheels than usual and necessary, which means that the Passage floor at the connecting joint was lowered and double-storey was also achieved in the transition area. A special interior design and equipment taking advantage of this fact is not disclosed. The wheels of the head units have normal diameters for reasons of safety against derailment. At least one of the head units must be designed as a power car.

Die Verwendung von verkleinerten Raddurchmessern ist, aus Sicherheitsgründen und weil heute mit grossen Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 250 Stundenkilometern und mehr gefahren wird, nicht mehr vertretbar. Verkleinerte Raddurchmesser sind ferner für mehr Fahrgeräusch und schlechteren Fahrkomfort verantwortlich. Einzelradfahrwerke unmittelbar bei den Verbindungsgelenken müssen bei normalen Einheitenlängen für das Kurvenfahren einen problematisch grossen Radialsteuerausschlag aufweisen. Ebenso treten weitere mechanische Probleme konzentriert auf, wenn Gelenk- und Radführungsmechanismus kombiniert werden müssen. Ferner besteht bei solchen Fahrwerken aufgrund der knappen Platzverhältnisse auch kaum die Möglichkeit einen Einzelachsantrieb vorzusehen. Ein rationelles Trennen und wieder Zusammenfügen zu neuen Varianten eines Gliederzuges wird bei Lösungen der geschilderten Art praktisch unmöglich.The use of reduced wheel diameters is no longer justifiable, for safety reasons and because today driving at high speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour or more. Reduced wheel diameters are also responsible for more driving noise and poorer driving comfort. Independent wheel trolleys directly at the connecting joints must have a problematically large radial steering deflection for normal unit lengths for cornering. Likewise, other mechanical problems are concentrated when the joint and wheel guide mechanisms have to be combined. Furthermore, there is hardly any possibility of providing a single-axle drive in such undercarriages due to the limited space available. A rational separation and reassembly to new variants of a link train is practically impossible with solutions of the type described.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen doppelstöckigen Gliederzug für verschiedene Einsatzzwecke mit durchgehend doppelstöckigen Durchgängen in Modulweise zu schaffen, wobei trennbare und zu neuen Kombinationen zusammenstellbare Einheiten in verschiedenen Ausführungen zur Verfügung stehen sollen. Für Einheiten mit angetriebenen Einachsfahrwerken sollen keine speziellen Triebköpfe benötigt werden. Angetriebene Einachsfahrwerke können auch durch Laufachsen ausgetauscht werden, um bei Lokbespannung als Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge verwendet werden zu können. Weiter sollen die Einheiten einzeln für sich rangierbar sein.The present invention has for its object to provide a double-decker articulated train for various purposes with continuous double-decker passages in modules, with separable and combinable units in different designs should be available. No special power heads are required for units with driven single-axle running gear. Driven single-axle bogies can also be replaced by running axles so that they can be used as high-speed trains when the locomotive is covered. Furthermore, the units should be individually manageable.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention characterized in the claims.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass Gliederzüge aus genormten und leicht trenn- und kuppelbaren Einheiten bestehen, in verschiedenen Varianten zusammengestellt werden können und alle Einheiten einzeln angetriebene Räder oder Radsätze aufweisen. Die kurzen Wagenkasten ermöglichen eine leichtere Bauweise und Automatisierung in der Kastenfertigung. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, dass die Einheiten mittels einer Hilfseinrichtung einzeln leicht manövrierbar sind, was erst das Zusammenstellen und Trennen von Einheiten mit vertretbarem Aufwand möglich macht. Die Anordnung der Einzeltriebachsen oder Triebräder unterhalb der Einheitenenden löst das Platzproblem an der Gelenkstelle; und dadurch, dass die Fahrgastsitze an der Antriebseite auf den Radkästen angeordnet sind, ist kein Sitzplatzverlust vorhanden.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that articulated trains consist of standardized and easily separable and connectable units, can be put together in different variants and all units have individually driven wheels or wheel sets. The short car bodies enable a lighter design and automation in box production. Another advantage is the fact that the units can be easily maneuvered individually using an auxiliary device, which only makes it possible to assemble and separate units with reasonable effort. The arrangement of the individual drive axles or drive wheels below the unit ends solves the space problem at the joint point; and in that the passenger seats on the There is no loss of seat on the drive side on the wheel arches.

Die Fig.3 zeigt eine mögliche Kombination von Doppelstock-Fahrgasteinheiten 1 und Doppelstock-Fahrgast- und -Einstiegseinheiten 4 innerhalb eines Doppelstock-Gliederzuges.3 shows a possible combination of double-decker passenger units 1 and double-decker passenger and boarding units 4 within a double-decker articulated train.

In der Fig.4 sind weitere Einzelheiten am Beispiel einer Doppelstock-Fahrgasteinheit 1 dargestellt. Diese Einheit hat eine Länge von drei Fensterteilungen und dementsprechend ein Sitzangebot von 48 Plätzen. Unter dem rechten Ende der Einheit befindet sich ein absenkbares Hilfsfahrgestell 21 mit Spurkranzrollen 22. Am gleichen Ende ist stirnseitig ein Uebergangsbalg 17, fluchtend mit der Aussenkontur der Einheit, angebracht. An der linken Stirnseite der Einheit ist mit 25 ein vorstehender Kragen 25 und mit 26 eine Trittplatte bezeichnet. Die gestrichelte, schräg nach oben gerichtete Linie über der Trittplatte 26 stellt eines der aufklappbaren Seitenteile 24 der Trittplatte 26 dar. Der Kragen 25 und die Trittplatte 26 sind zusammen als geschlossener Rahmen ausgebildet. Gestrichelt dargestellt ist ferner ein mit 27 bezeichnetes Abschlussgehäuse mit eingebauten Zugschlussleuchten 28, das ist über den Kragen 25 und die Trittplatte 26 geschoben und am Kragen 25 arretiert werden kann. Mit 30 ist ein Fahrwerkrahmenteil bezeichnet. Es können aber auch spezielle, nicht dargestellte Endwagen vorgesehen werden. Das Wagenende kann dann für den Einbau zusätzlich benötigter technischer Ausrüstung wie Energieversorgung, Rollstuhleinrichtungen und Spezialeinrichtungen ausgerüstet werden.4 shows further details using the example of a double-decker passenger unit 1. This unit has a length of three window divisions and accordingly a seating capacity of 48 seats. Under the right end of the unit there is a lowerable auxiliary chassis 21 with flanged wheels 22. At the same end, a transition bellows 17, aligned with the outer contour of the unit, is attached to the front. On the left end face of the unit, 25 is a protruding collar 25 and 26 is a step plate. The dashed, obliquely upward line above the step plate 26 represents one of the hinged side parts 24 of the step plate 26. The collar 25 and the step plate 26 are formed together as a closed frame. Dashed Also shown is an end housing, designated 27, with built-in tail lights 28, which can be pushed over the collar 25 and the tread plate 26 and can be locked on the collar 25. 30 with a chassis frame part is designated. However, special end cars, not shown, can also be provided. The end of the car can then be equipped for the installation of additional technical equipment such as energy supply, wheelchair equipment and special equipment.

Einzelheiten der beiden Stirnfronten links und rechts sind in den beiden Fig.5 und 6 ersichtlich. Fig.5 zeigt die linke Stirnseite mit einer mit der Aussenkontur der Einheit nach aussen und dem Kragen 25 mit Trittplatte 26 nach innen begrenzten Stirnrahmenfläche 20. Im unteren horizontalen Teil der Stirnrahmenfläche 20 sind pneumatische und elektrische Kupplungsstellen 18 vorgesehen. Die Trittplatte 26 bildet den unteren horizontalen Teil des Kragens 25 und ist beidseitig eines mittleren Durchganges 19 beispielsweise etwa zehn cm nach oben abgestuft. Diese abgestuften horizontalen Seitenteile der Trittplatte 26 können, zwecks Zugänglichkeit zu den pneumatischen und elektrischen Kupplungsstellen 18, nach oben hochgeklappt werden. Mit 29 ist ein Antrieb mit Elektromotor für das Einzelachsfahrwerk 6 angedeutet.Details of the two frontal fronts on the left and right can be seen in the two FIGS. 5 and 6. 5 shows the left end face with an end frame surface 20 which is limited with the outer contour of the unit to the outside and the collar 25 with step plate 26 to the inside. Pneumatic and electrical coupling points 18 are provided in the lower horizontal part of the end frame surface 20. The tread plate 26 forms the lower horizontal part of the collar 25 and is stepped upwards on both sides of a central passage 19, for example by approximately ten cm. These stepped horizontal side parts of the tread plate 26 can be folded upwards for access to the pneumatic and electrical coupling points 18. A drive with an electric motor for the single-axle chassis 6 is indicated at 29.

In der Fig.6 ist der untere Teil einer Frontansicht der rechten Seite einer Einheit mit dem Uebergangsbalg 17 dargestellt. Der Uebergangsbalg 17 folgt auch in diesem unteren Teil der Aussenkontur der Einheit und ist somit als elastische Fortsetzung der Aussenhaut einer Einheit und als allseitig geschlossenes Hohlprofil ausgebildet. Die pneumatischen und elektrischen Kupplungsstellen 18 befinden sich deshalb innerhalb des Uebergangsbalges 17 in einem von der Aussenwelt abgeschlossenen Raum. Unterhalb der Einheit sind zwei Schenkel des abgesenkten Hilfsfahrgestelles 21 mit den Spurkranzrollen 22 und das Kupplungsteil 15 ersichtlich. Die Spurkranzrollen 22 können mit einer an den Innenseiten des Hilfsfahrgestelles 21 angeordneten Motor/Getriebeeinheit 23 mechanisch verbunden sein und können angetrieben oder bei Bedarf ausgekuppelt werden.6 shows the lower part of a front view of the right side of a unit with the transition bellows 17. The transition bellows 17 also follows the outer contour of the unit in this lower part and is thus designed as an elastic extension of the outer skin of a unit and as a hollow profile closed on all sides. The pneumatic and electrical coupling points 18 are therefore located within the transition bellows 17 in a space which is closed off from the outside world. Below the unit, two legs of the lowered auxiliary chassis 21 with the flanged rollers 22 and the coupling part 15 can be seen. The flanged wheels 22 can be mechanically connected to a motor / gear unit 23 arranged on the inner sides of the auxiliary chassis 21 and can be driven or disengaged if necessary.

Die Speisung der Motor/Getriebeeinheit 23 kann von der Bordbatterie oder von einem mobilen Notstromaggregat erfolgen.The motor / gear unit 23 can be supplied from the on-board battery or from a mobile emergency power generator.

Die Fig.7 bis 10 zeigen verschiedene Kombinationen mit zum Teil weiteren neuen Doppelstock-Einheiten. Die Kombination gemäss Fig.7 ist für einen Nahverkehrszug mit Allradantrieb gedacht. Es ist hier mit 3 eine Doppelstock-Einstiegseinheit und mit 2 eine Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit bezeichnet. Die Doppelstock-Einstiegseinheit 3 dient der raschen Personenzirkulation im Nahverkehr mit vielen Haltestellen. Die Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit 2 ist die vordere und/oder hintere Abschlusseinheit eines Doppelstock-Gliederzuges. Als weitere Variante für einen Nahverkehrszug ist die Kombination gemäss Fig.8 denkbar. Das untere Stockwerk, welches vorwiegend aus Einstiegen von Doppelstock-Fahrgast- und Einstiegseinheiten 4 besteht, kann zusätzlich für eine grössere Anzahl von Kurzstrecken-Stehfahrgästen benutzt werden. Je grösser die Fahrstrecke und je grösser die Distanz zwischen den Haltestellen, um so kleiner kann die Anzahl der Einstiege vorgesehen werden.7 to 10 show different combinations with partly further new double-decker units. The combination according to Fig. 7 is intended for a local train with four-wheel drive. It is designated here by 3 a double-deck entry-level unit and by 2 a double-deck head unit. The double-decker entry-level unit 3 is used for the rapid circulation of people in local traffic with many stops. The double-deck head unit 2 is the front and / or rear end unit of a double-deck articulated train. The combination according to FIG. 8 is conceivable as a further variant for a local train. The lower floor, which mainly consists of boarding for double-deck passenger and boarding units 4, can also be used for a larger number of short-distance standing passengers. The longer the route and the greater the distance between the stops, the smaller the number of entrances.

Es ist beispielsweise eine Kombination für den Regionalverkehr gemäss Fig.9 im Vergleich zu den vorgehend genannten Kombinationen mit entsprechend weniger Einstiegen und Einstiegsraum ausgerüstet, weil auch eine entsprechend niedrigere Personenzirkulation zu erwarten ist.For example, a combination for regional transport according to FIG. 9 is equipped with correspondingly fewer entrances and boarding space in comparison to the combinations mentioned above, because a correspondingly lower number of people can also be expected.

Die Fig. 10 zeigt eine Kombination für einen Hochgeschwindigkeits-Fernverkehrszug mit einer vorgespannten Lokomotive 7. Bei dieser Kombination können für die Einheiten anstelle von Triebachsen Laufachsen verwendet werden oder die Antriebe der Triebachsen der Einzelradfahrwerke 6 ausgekuppelt werden. Das rechte Ende dieser Kombination wird mit einem Abschlussgehäuse 27 verschlossen, kann aber, für Pendelbetrieb, auch von einer Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit 2 gebildet werden. Hinter der Lokomotive 7 ist eine Doppelstock-Fahrgasteinheit mit 5 bezeichnet. Die Doppelstock-Fahrgasteinheit 5 ist als Anpassung für diese Traktionsart mit zwei Einachsfahrwerken 6, sowie einenends mit der üblichen Normalkupplung ausgerüstet.10 shows a combination for a high-speed long-distance train with a preloaded locomotive 7. With this combination, drive axles can be used for the units instead of drive axles, or the drives of the drive axles of the independent wheel drives 6 can be disengaged. The right end of this combination is closed with a termination housing 27, but can also be formed by a double-deck head unit 2 for pendulum operation. Behind the locomotive 7, a double-decker passenger unit is designated 5. As an adaptation for this type of traction, the double-decker passenger unit 5 is equipped with two single-axle undercarriages 6 and at one end with the usual normal clutch.

Dieser Doppelstock-Gliederzug ist ein universell anpassbares Verkehrsmittel mit grosser Personentransportkapazität. Um die erwähnte Anpassbarkeit zu gewährleisten, müssen einige Bedingungen erfüllt sein. Eine dieser Bedingung betrifft das Kuppeln und Entkuppeln. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass bei einer unsymmetrischen Kupplung, jeweils alle abgekuppelten Doppelstock-Einheiten in der gleichen Richtungspolarität abgestellt werden, also von der Seite gesehen beispielsweise Einzelradfahrwerk 6 links und Uebergangsbalg 17 rechts. Abgestellte Doppelstock-Einheiten haben das Hilfsfahrgestell 21 abgesenkt, so dass die Doppelstock- Einheiten in horizontaler und kuppelbarer Lage auf dem Geleise stehen. In einer weiter entwickelten Kupplungstechnik kann eine symmetrische und automatische Zentralkupplung verwendet werden, bei welcher die Richtungspolarität der abgestellten Einheiten nicht mehr von Bedeutung ist.This double-decker articulated train is a universally adaptable means of transport with a large passenger capacity. In order to ensure the adaptability mentioned, some conditions must be met. One of these conditions concerns coupling and uncoupling. It is assumed that in the case of an asymmetrical clutch, all uncoupled double-decker units are switched off in the same directional polarity, that is to say seen from the side, for example, single-wheel chassis 6 on the left and transition bellows 17 on the right. Parked double-decker units have lowered the auxiliary chassis 21 so that the double-decker units are in a horizontal and detachable position on the track. In a further developed coupling technology, a symmetrical and automatic central coupling can be used, in which the directional polarity of the parked units is no longer important.

Als Kupplungseinrichtung dient eine lösbare, um alle drei Achsen bewegliche Gelenkkupplung 14, 15. Die Kupplung wird vorzugsweise als spezielle Art einer Gelenkkupplung 14, 15 ausgeführt, welche Längs- Quer- und Stützkräfte aufnehmen kann. Die Doppelstock-Einheiten weisen ferner eine vorschriftsgemässe Bremsanlage auf.A detachable articulated coupling 14, 15, which is movable about all three axes, serves as the coupling device. The coupling is preferably designed as a special type of articulated coupling 14, 15 which can absorb longitudinal, transverse and supporting forces. The double-decker units also have a brake system in accordance with regulations.

Abgekuppelt kann eine auf ihr Hilfsfahrgestell 21 abgestützte Einheit leicht rangiert werden. Bei angefügter Motor/Getriebeeinheit 23 dient das Hilfsfahrgestell 21 als Hilfsantrieb, so dass abgestellte, einzelne Doppelstock-Einheiten über eine begrenzte Strecke mit beispielsweise etwa halber Schrittgeschwindigkeit für Rangiermanöver bewegt werden können. Für Fahrmanöver dieser Art ist für die Speisung des Antriebes die Kapazität der Bordbatterie ausreichend, es kann aber auch ein mobiles Notstromaggregat als Antriebsspeisung eingesetzt werden. Zur Steuerung des Hilfsantriebes ist an geeigneter Stelle, beispielsweise seitlich beim hilfsfahrgestellseitigen Durchgang 19 der Doppelstock-Einheit ein Schlüsselschalter sowie je ein Vorwärts- und Rückwärtsfahr-Druckknopf vorhanden. Beim Zusammenschieben und Kuppeln von Doppelstock-Einheiten wird der Raum zwischen zwei Einheiten vollständig geschlossen, indem sich der Uebergangsbalg 17 der einen Einheit über den Führungskragen 25 der anderen Einheit schiebt und elastisch auf die Distanz des Abstandes von zwei Einheiten im gekuppelten Zustand zusammengestossen wird. Der Uebergangsbalg 17 ist so beschaffen, dass er bei allen Bewegungen der Doppelstock-Einheiten, beispielsweise Kurvenfahrten, immer am ganzen Umfang an der gegenüberliegenden Stirnrahmenfläche 20 mit etwas Druck aufliegt. Wegen der kurzen Länge der Doppelstock- Einheiten sind allerdings die Distanzdifferenzen beim Kurvenfahren zwischen kurveninnerem und kurvenäusserem Rand an den Einheitenenden auch entsprechend kleiner, so dass einerseits weniger Federweg für den Uebergangsbalg 17 resultiert und anderseits enger gekuppelt werden kann. Weil die Aussenseite des Uebergangbalges 17 mit der Aussenkontur der Wagenkasten der Einheiten fluchtet, weist der ganze Doppelstock-Gliederzug eine homogene, nirgendwo unterbrochene Oberfläche auf, was sich ästhetisch und aerodynamisch vorteilhaft auswirkt.Uncoupled, a unit supported on its auxiliary chassis 21 can be easily maneuvered. When the motor / transmission unit 23 is attached, the auxiliary chassis 21 serves as an auxiliary drive, so that parked, individual double-decker units can be moved over a limited distance at about half the walking speed for maneuvering. For driving maneuvers of this type, the capacity of the on-board battery is sufficient to supply the drive, but a mobile emergency power generator can also be used as the drive supply. To control the auxiliary drive, a key switch and a forward and reverse drive push button are provided at a suitable point, for example on the side of the auxiliary chassis-side passage 19 of the double-deck unit. When pushing and coupling double-decker units, the Space between two units is completely closed by pushing the transition bellows 17 of one unit over the guide collar 25 of the other unit and elastically colliding the distance of the distance from two units in the coupled state. The transition bellows 17 is designed in such a way that it always lies on the opposite end frame surface 20 with a little pressure over the entire circumference with all movements of the double-decker units, for example cornering. Because of the short length of the double-decker units, however, the distance differences when cornering between the inside and outside of the curve at the ends of the unit are also correspondingly smaller, so that on the one hand less spring travel results for the transition bellows 17 and on the other hand can be more closely coupled. Because the outside of the transition bellows 17 is aligned with the outer contour of the car body of the units, the entire double-decker articulated train has a homogeneous surface that is not interrupted anywhere, which has an aesthetically and aerodynamically advantageous effect.

Nach dem Zustellen und Ankuppeln einer Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit 2 an vorgängig zusammengestellte Doppelstock-Einheiten 1 und 3 oder 4, wird die Komposition bereits normal fahrbar. Dies deshalb, weil die Doppelstock-Kopfeinheiten 2 zweiachsig mit mindestens einer Triebachse sowie mit Dach-Stromabnehmer und Führerstand ausgeführt sind. Soll der Doppelstock-Gliederzug als Pendelkomposition verwendet werden, wird anschliessend die zweite Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit 2 am anderen Ende angekuppelt. Für den Betriebsfall, beispielsweise Ringverkehr, bei dem eine Komposition die Fahrrichtung nicht ändern muss, genügt eine einzige Doppelstock-Kopfeinheit 2 an der Spitze des Zuges. Am Ende des Zuges wird dann die Durchgangsöffnung der letzten Einheit mit dem Abschlussgehäuse 27 mit eingebauten Zugschlussleuchten 28 verschlossen. Das Abschlussgehäuse 27 wird über den Kragen 25 geschoben und mit diesem anschliessend kraft- und formschlüssig verbunden.After the delivery and coupling of a double-deck head unit 2 to previously assembled double-deck units 1 and 3 or 4, the composition can already be driven normally. This is because the double-decker head units 2 are designed with two axles with at least one drive axle as well as with a pantograph and a driver's cab. If the double-deck articulated train is to be used as a pendulum composition, the second double-deck head unit 2 is then coupled at the other end. For the operating case, for example ring traffic, in which a composition does not have to change the direction of travel, a single double-decker head unit 2 at the head of the train is sufficient. At the end of the train, the passage opening of the last unit is then closed with the end housing 27 with built-in tail lights 28. The end housing 27 is pushed over the collar 25 and then connected to the latter in a non-positive and positive manner.

Der ganze Doppelstock-Gliederzug ist durchgehend zweistöckig begehbar, und wenn keine Raucherabteile benötigt werden, wie beispielsweise beim Lokalverkehr, müssen auch keine Abteil- und Durchgangstüren vorgesehen werden.The entire double-decker articulated train can be walked through on two levels throughout, and if no smoking compartments are needed, how For example, in the case of local traffic, no compartment and passage doors need to be provided.

Für Hochgeschwindigkeits-Fernverkehrszüge gemäss Fig.10 wird der Doppelstock-Gliederzug einenends mit einer Hochleistungs-Schnellfahrlok 7 bespannt. Die Triebachsen der Einzelradfahrwerke 6 sind beispielsweise für eine Fahrgeschwindigkeit bis etwa 120 Km/h ausgelegt und werden deshalb in dieser Kombination vom Antrieb abgekuppelt oder durch Laufradsätze ersetzt. Es sollen mit dieser Kombination Geschwindigkeiten bis 250 Km/h gefahren werden können. Das lokseitige Ende einer Doppelstock-Fahrgasteinheit 5 hinter der Lokomotive 7 ist für diesen Einsatz mit einer Fronttüre sowie mit der beim herkömmlichen Bahnmaterial verwendeten Standardkupplung ausgerüstet.For high-speed long-distance trains according to Fig. 10, the double-decker articulated train is covered at one end with a high-performance express locomotive 7. The drive axles of the independent wheel trolleys 6 are designed, for example, for a travel speed of up to approximately 120 km / h and are therefore uncoupled from the drive in this combination or replaced by wheel sets. With this combination, speeds of up to 250 km / h should be possible. The end of a double-decker passenger unit 5 on the locomotive side behind the locomotive 7 is equipped for this purpose with a front door and with the standard coupling used in conventional railway material.

Die Doppelstock-Einheiten weisen alle eine gleiche Länge von beispielsweise sieben bis elf Meter auf. Pro Fensterteilung und dieser zugeordnetem Sitzplatzabteil mit zwei Sitzreihen sind vorzugsweise zwei Meter Länge vorgesehen. Es wird für die Enden je eine Länge von beispielsweise einem halben Meter berechnet, so dass eine Einheitenlänge, je nach Anzahl Fensterteilungen, sieben, neun oder elf Meter betragen kann. Die relativ kleinen Längenabmessungen der Doppelstock-Einheiten erleichtern die Produktion infolge kleinerem Platzbedarf und kleineren Einheitengewichten. Ferner wird beim Kurvenfahren der Knickwinkel zwischen den Einheiten entsprechend kleiner. Aus diesen Gründen wird vorzugsweise die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte kurze Länge von sieben Metern mit drei Fensterteilungen bzw. drei Sitzplatzabteilen bzw. sechs Sitzreihen berücksichtigt.The double-decker units all have the same length, for example seven to eleven meters. For each window division and assigned seat compartment with two rows of seats, two meters in length are preferably provided. A length of, for example, half a meter is calculated for the ends, so that a unit length, depending on the number of window divisions, can be seven, nine or eleven meters. The relatively small length dimensions of the double-decker units make production easier due to smaller space requirements and smaller unit weights. Furthermore, the cornering angle between the units becomes correspondingly smaller when cornering. For these reasons, the short length of seven meters shown in the drawings with three window divisions or three seat compartments or six rows of seats is preferably taken into account.

Als weitere Einheitentypen können auch solche mit Frachträumen für verschiedene Transportgüter vorgesehen werden.As further unit types, those with freight compartments can also be provided for different transport goods.
