Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la construction de véhicules, en particulier ferroviaires à forte sécurité passive, notamment d'autorails, et a pour objet un tel véhicule comportant au moins un module d'extrémité interchangeable.The present invention relates to the field of building vehicles, in particular railways with high passive safety, in particular of railcars, and relates to such a vehicle comprising at least one module interchangeable end.
Un tel module d'extrémité a pour fonction de constituer, soit le poste de conduite du véhicule et de recevoir les aménagements nécessaires à cette fonction ainsi que d'autres accessoires, tels que chasse-obstacle et autres, soit un module d'intercirculation entre deux extrémités de véhicules successifs.The function of such an end module is to constitute either the station driving and receiving the necessary arrangements for this function as well as other accessories, such as obstacle keeper and the like, a interconnection module between two ends of successive vehicles.
Les véhicules ferroviaires existant actuellement sont généralement équipés à leurs parties d'extrémité, ou au moins à l'une de ces parties, d'une structure formant, soit cabine de pilotage et étant partie intégrante de la partie courante dudit véhicule constituant la salle voyageurs ou partie courante, soit un module d'intercirculation. Cette structure d'extrémité comporte des moyens destinés à supporter les sollicitations que subit le véhicule en conditions normales de circulation et lors de chocs à faible vitesse, dits chocs "d'accostage".Currently existing rail vehicles are generally fitted at their end parts, or at least one of these parts, with a structure forming, either cockpit and being an integral part of the part current of said vehicle constituting the passenger room or current part, either a intercirculation module. This end structure comprises means intended to withstand the stresses to which the vehicle is subjected under normal conditions traffic and during low speed shocks, called "docking" shocks.
Ces structures d'extrémité nécessitent des infrastructures complexes et, notamment, le passage d'une forme tubulaire simple de la salle voyageurs ou partie courante à des sections se rétrécissant pour des questions de passage au gabarit, d'aérodynamique et d'esthétique, entraínant la mise en place, en extrémité de la partie courante, d'éléments spécifiquement conformés. La partie aérodynamique et esthétique est constituée, par exemple, par une peau conformée en matière synthétique fixée sur une structure porteuse.These end structures require complex infrastructure and, in particular, the passage of a simple tubular form from the passenger room or running part to narrowing sections for transition issues to size, aerodynamics and aesthetics, causing the establishment, at the end of the current part, of specifically shaped elements. The part aerodynamic and aesthetic consists, for example, of a shaped skin made of synthetic material fixed on a supporting structure.
Les structures d'extrémité à forte sécurité passive sont généralement constituées par une ossature complexe capable de résister aux efforts d'épreuve et de les transmettre uniformément sur la partie courante. Ces structures imposent de réaliser le montage des aménagements et des équipements intérieurs par une succession d'opérations individuelles grevant considérablement les coûts de fabrication.End structures with high passive safety are generally formed by a complex framework capable of withstanding the stresses of testing and to transmit them uniformly on the current part. These structures require carry out the assembly of interior fittings and equipment by a a succession of individual operations which considerably burden the costs of manufacturing.
En outre, en cas de chocs importants, notamment à vitesse relativement élevée, la structure d'extrémité subit des dégâts nécessitant généralement la mise à la réforme dudit véhicule ou d'importantes et donc coûteuses réparations, du fait de la continuité entre ladite structure et la partie courante ou salle voyageurs, ce qui entraíne une perte financière importante. In addition, in the event of major shocks, especially at speed relatively high, the end structure suffers damage requiring generally the reform of said vehicle or important and therefore costly repairs, due to the continuity between said structure and the part current or passenger room, which results in a significant financial loss.
Dans le cas de tels chocs, il se pose, de plus, un problème de protection des passagers et du conducteur, qui sont exposés à un risque important de dommages corporels.In the case of such shocks, there is also a problem of protection of passengers and the driver, who are exposed to a significant risk personal injury.
A cet effet, les demandes de brevets français FR-A-2 698 840 et n° 96 05203 proposent la création de zones de déformation plastique dynamique, formées d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie fixes ou interchangeables. aux extrémités du véhicule, permettant l'obtention d'une sécurité maximale pour le conducteur et les passagers.To this end, French patent applications FR-A-2 698 840 and n ° 96 05203 propose the creation of dynamic plastic deformation zones, formed of fixed or interchangeable energy absorbing elements. at the extremities of the vehicle, allowing maximum safety for the driver and The passengers.
Toutefois, les dégâts occasionnés au véhicule en cas de choc violent nécessitent généralement la mise à la réforme dudit véhicule ou des réparations importantes.However, the damage caused to the vehicle in the event of a violent impact generally require the reforming of said vehicle or repairs important.
Enfin, une modification éventuelle de l'aspect esthétique du véhicule au niveau de l'extrémité nécessitera également une mise à la réforme de celui-ci ou des travaux de réparation importants.Finally, a possible change in the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle at the end will also require reforming it or major repair work.
On connaít également, par EP-A-0 533 582 et DE-A-43 43 800, des structures de véhicules ferroviaires, dont au moins une extrémité est adaptée à la réception d'une cabine de conduite, ou analogue. A cet effet, la cabine de conduite est fixée sur une plate-forme d'extrémité du châssis, qui assure simultanément la protection contre les chocs et le montage de la partie motrice.We also know, from EP-A-0 533 582 and DE-A-43 43 800, railway vehicle structures, at least one end of which is adapted to the reception of a driving cab, or the like. For this purpose, the driver's cabin is fixed on an end platform of the chassis, which simultaneously ensures the protection against shocks and mounting of the driving part.
Un tel montage de cabine ou analogue ne permet, cependant, pas d'assurer une protection de la cabine proprement dite contre les chocs. Par ailleurs, en cas de choc avec dégradation ou destruction partielle de la partie cabine et éventuellement de la partie motrice, seule une réparation d'ensemble est possible.Such a cabin mounting or the like does not, however, allow to protect the cabin itself against impact. Otherwise, in the event of an impact with degradation or partial destruction of the cabin part and possibly from the driving part, only an overall repair is possible.
Enfin, les différentes structures de véhicules connues ne permettent pas un accès aisé à la salle voyageurs, pour les aménagements intérieurs de cette dernière, du fait de la constitution même des extrémités.Finally, the various known vehicle structures do not allow not easy access to the passenger room, for the interior fittings of this last, because of the very constitution of the ends.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un véhicule ferroviaire comportant au moins un module d'extrémité interchangeable permettant d'améliorer sensiblement le cycle de fabrication et la maintenance de tels véhicules par une meilleure accessibilité pour le montage des aménagements et équipements intérieurs, avec une réduction des délais d'interventions correspondants et donc de leur coût.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a railway vehicle comprising at least one end module interchangeable to significantly improve the manufacturing cycle and maintenance of such vehicles by better accessibility for mounting interior fittings and equipment, with reduced lead times corresponding interventions and therefore their cost.
En outre, suite à un choc ou dans le cadre d'une rénovation de matériel, un remplacement de ladite structure ne nécessite pas la réforme de tout le véhicule ou en limite les réparations dans une large mesure. In addition, following a shock or as part of a renovation of material, a replacement of said structure does not require the reform of all vehicle or limit repairs to a large extent.
Ce but est atteint grâce aux caractéristiques de la Revendication 1.This object is achieved by the features of Claim 1.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui
se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif,
et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :
Conformément à l'invention, et comme le montre plus
particulièrement, à titre d'exemple, la figure 1 des dessins annexés, le véhicule
ferroviaire 1, qui est muni d'au moins un module d'extrémité 2 sous forme d'un
poste de conduite, est caractérisé en ce que ledit module d'extrémité 2 est un
module structurel pré-assemblé, interchangeable et indépendant et est fixé de
manière démontable sur le véhicule 1.In accordance with the invention, and as shown more
particularly, by way of example, Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, the vehicle
rail 1, which is provided with at least one
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté aux dessins annexés et dans la
description ci-après, le module d'extrémité 2 est sous forme d'un poste de
conduite. Cependant, l'invention s'étend également à des modules d'extrémités
sous forme de modules d'intercirculation entre deux extrémités de véhicules
successifs.In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings and in the
description below, the
Ce module d'extrémité 2 est avantageusement réalisé sous forme d'un
sous-ensemble complet en acier intégrant, par exemple, tous les équipements de
conduite et de commande 3 et une ou plusieurs armoires électriques d'alimentation
et de commande, ainsi qu'un dispositif de propulsion 4 et un chasse-obstacle 5
monté sous le châssis. Les équipements de conduite et de commande 3, ainsi que
la ou les armoires électriques d'alimentation et de commande sont montés dans le
module d'extrémité 2 après montage par boulonnage de ce dernier sur le véhicule
1, qui est avantageusement constitué en aluminium.This
La structure du module d'extrémité 2 en acier se caractérise par la
simplicité des formes et la suppression des montants frontaux de part et d'autre de
la baie frontale, ce qui permet une mise en place aisée des équipements de
conduite et de commande 3, ainsi que des autres aménagements intérieurs en une
seule opération par le dessus dudit module 2. The structure of the
La fixation du module d'extrémité 2 sur la partie correspondante du
véhicule 1 est réalisée par boulonnage et les différents accessoires qu'il renferme
sont reliés aux circuits et mécanismes correspondants du véhicule ferroviaire 1 par
des connexions rapides à embrochage. Ainsi, il est possible, suite à un choc
important ou dans le cadre d'une rénovation de matériel incluant une modification
esthétique des parties d'extrémité, de simplement déposer le module d'extrémité 2
de la partie correspondante du véhicule 1, après déconnection des différents
branchements électriques et mécaniques au niveau de la liaison, puis de boulonner
le nouveau module d'extrémité 2 sur la partie correspondante du véhicule 1 et de
réaliser les branchements de celui-ci .Attaching the
Ce mode de réalisation du module d'extrémité 2 permet. comme le
montre également la figure 1 des dessins annexés, un montage facile d'ensembles
pré-assemblés, notamment du poste de conduite et des aménagements de la salle
voyageurs, respectivement directement dans le module 2 et, à travers les
ouvertures d'extrémité du véhicule 1, dans ladite salle voyageurs.This embodiment of the
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le module d'extrémité 2 peut
avantageusement être équipé d'un ensemble 6 d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie
interchangeables à propriétés de résistance mécanique différentes entraínant des
phases de déformation progressive à partir de l'extrémité correspondante du
véhicule, cet ensemble 6 d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie étant supporté par ledit
module 2. En outre, le module 2 est pourvu d'une peau 7 réalisant une enveloppe
esthétique de l'extrémité et assurant l'isolation et l'étanchéité de cette dernière.According to a characteristic of the invention, the
L'ensemble 6 d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie interchangeables à
propriétés de résistance mécanique différentes entraínant des phases de
déformation progressive à partir de l'extrémité correspondante du véhicule est
avantageusement constitué par un attelage automatique 8 escamotable par
déformation et par au moins deux premiers éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux
9 disposés de part et d'autre de l'attelage automatique 8. Ce dernier est monté dans
une partie de réception et de guidage prévue dans l'infrastructure du module
d'extrémité 2, par l'intermédiaire de boulons fusibles et permet, lors d'un choc. une
première phase d'absorption d'énergie.The
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, cet
ensemble 6 d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie peut être complété par une deuxième
série d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie supérieurs 10 montés au-dessus des premiers
éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9.In accordance with another characteristic of the invention, this
Une telle constitution de l'avant du module d'extrémité 2 permet une
déformation plastique dynamique suivant des phases de déformation progressive à
partir de l'extrémité correspondante du véhicule. La structure de la cabine du
véhicule 1, est conçue de façon à autoriser un choc frontal sans déformation de la
zone où se trouvent les passagers.Such a constitution of the front of the
L'attelage automatique 8 est constitué par une tête d'attelage et par un
corps reliant cette tête à un support d'attelage lié rigidement au châssis du module
2 par l'intermédiaire de boulons fusibles. Un élément absorbeur d'énergie 11 est
monté derrière l'attelage automatique 8 dans le châssis du module d'extrémité 2 et
est préférentiellement constitué par une pièce métallique ou en matière composite.The automatic coupling 8 consists of a coupling head and a
body connecting this head to a coupling support rigidly connected to the chassis of the
Ainsi, dans le cas d'un choc d'une intensité supérieure à la limite de
résistance de rupture des boulons fusibles, ces derniers sont détruits et l'attelage
automatique 8 est poussé vers l'intérieur du châssis du module d'extrémité 2,
écrasant l'élément absorbeur d'énergie 11 dans ledit châssis. A la fin de cette phase
d'absorption d'énergie, l'attelage automatique 8 est entièrement logé dans le
châssis, l'élément absorbeur d'énergie 11 étant totalement détruit et l'extrémité
avant de l'attelage automatique 8 étant sensiblement dans le même plan vertical
que la face avant des premiers éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9 et des
deuxièmes éléments absorbeurs d'énergie supérieurs 10 (figure 3). Cette deuxième
phase d'absorption d'énergie, qui correspond à une situation d'accident à faible
vitesse ou de choc contre un obstacle léger, permet une remise en état rapide par
simples remplacement de l'élément absorbeur d'énergie disposé dans le châssis et
mise en place de nouveaux boulons fusibles, sans intervention sur un élément de
carrosserie du véhicule 1.Thus, in the event of a shock of an intensity greater than the breaking strength limit of the fuse bolts, the latter are destroyed and the automatic coupling 8 is pushed towards the interior of the chassis of the
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les premiers éléments
absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9, disposés de part et d'autre de l'attelage
automatique 8, peuvent être munis, chacun, de dispositifs d'antichevauchement 9'.
destinés à s'encastrer dans l'obstacle ou, par exemple, à coopérer par forme avec
des dispositifs 9' correspondants de l'extrémité d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie
latéraux 9 d'un autre véhicule, afin d'éviter un déplacement vertical mutuel entre
les deux extrémités de véhicules.According to another characteristic of the invention, the first elements
lateral energy absorbers 9, arranged on either side of the hitch
automatic 8, can each be provided with
Les premiers éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9, ainsi que les
deuxièmes éléments absorbeurs d'énergie supérieurs 10 se présentent sous forme
de poutres déformables boulonnées à leur extrémité sur l'avant du module
d'extrémité 2, ces poutres déformables étant constituées chacune par des pièces
métalliques mécanosoudées ou en matériau composite à déformation
prédéterminée. Des structures déformables de ce type sont notamment connues par
FR-A-2 694255. The first lateral
Ces premiers éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9 et deuxièmes
éléments absorbeurs d'énergie supérieurs 10 permettent, par déformation plastique
irréversible, une troisième phase d'absorption de chocs, dans laquelle. lesdits
éléments absorbeurs d'énergie se déforment progressivement, de manière
irréversible, tout en préservant l'intégrité de la structure du module d'extrémité 2
(figure 4).These first lateral
La prévision d'éléments absorbeurs d'énergie latéraux 9 disposés
symétriquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule 1, permet, lors d'un
choc décalé, c'est-à-dire, par exemple, d'une collision avec un obstacle seulement
engagé partiellement sur la voie, une déformation du seul élément 9 concerné, de
sorte que le risque de déraillement éventuel est considérablement réduit.The provision of lateral
Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un véhicule ferroviaire comportant à au moins une extrémité une structure interchangeable en cas de choc ou de modification d'aspect du véhicule et permettant, par une meilleure protection contre les chocs, d'améliorer de manière significative la sécurité passive.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to produce a railway vehicle comprising at least one end an interchangeable structure in the event of impact or modification of the appearance of the vehicle and allowing, by better impact protection, significantly improve safety passive.
En outre, cette structure permet l'intégration de moyens de sécurité,
tels que des éléments absorbeurs de chocs. Il est ainsi, notamment, possible de
monter et de démonter facilement ladite structure et d'obtenir un accès aisé à
l'intérieur du véhicule 1, en particulier pour réaliser les aménagements de la salle
voyageurs avant assemblage final, par la large ouverture existante au niveau du
module d'extrémité 2 avant sa mise en place.In addition, this structure allows the integration of security means,
such as shock absorbing elements. It is thus, in particular, possible to
easily assemble and disassemble said structure and obtain easy access to
the interior of vehicle 1, in particular for making the room arrangements
passengers before final assembly, through the wide opening existing at the
Enfin, il résulte de ce qui précède que la maintenance de véhicules ferroviaires ainsi réalisés est considérablement facilitée.Finally, it follows from the above that vehicle maintenance railroads thus realized is considerably facilitated.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles. notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications are still possible. in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without however leaving the field of protection of the invention.
