Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collision protection device for rail vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a collision protection device for rail vehicles is known from DE 198 17 861 A1, which has a central buffer coupling with articulation via tear-off elements in the underframe stem, a guide shaft, an underrun protection and energy absorption elements.
  • the vehicle forward projecting center buffer coupling in the event of a collision after exposure to impact energy, which exceeds the energy consumption of the elastic elements to solve the tear-off elements of the undercarriage and led back to move.
  • the energy absorption elements are arranged laterally of the central buffer construction and supported over a large area on the head support and on the impact protection construction. When colliding with rail vehicles equipped with side buffers, the energy absorbing elements are deformed mainly locally in the area of the penetrating side buffers depending on the deformation resistance.
  • an underrun protection is arranged in operative connection with the head support and the impact protection construction whose front edge is set back from the front edge of the energy absorption elements by at least the extent of the predetermined compression length of the energy absorption elements.
  • a safety device for drivers of rail vehicles which consists of a head carrier upstream collision protection device of known design, one of the head carrier Crumple zone in the area of the driver's compartment, a driver's desk, a seat frame and a driver's seat consists.
  • the head support, the noise protection construction, the driver's desk, the seat frame and the driver's seat are in such operative connection with each other that they do not change their position relative to each other in a deformation endangering the driver.
  • the head carrier, the Rammschutzkonstrutation, the driver's desk, the seat frame and the driver's seat are connected to each other in such a way that the said components are moved together with deformation of the crumple zone towards the passenger compartment.
  • the seat frame and the driver's seat are so far raised compared to the height level of the crumple zone, that on the one hand deform the crumple zone underneath the driver's seat unhindered and on the other hand, an unhindered longitudinal displacement between the seat frame and crumple zone is made possible.
  • the driver's seat is in such a limited slidably provided in an embodiment relative to the driver's desk, that the driver can not be trapped between the driver's desk and driver's seat.
  • the invention has the object of providing a collision protection device of the type mentioned in such a way that on the one hand the collision protection of rail vehicles, which are equipped with a central buffer, in case of collision with rail vehicles with side buffers are improved, and on the other hand, the working space of Driver, in particular his direct workplace, against the driver dangerous deformation in the cab area, caused by oversized impact energy is effectively protected.
  • the collision protection device for rail vehicles has energy absorption elements 1, which are arranged on both sides of the central longitudinal axis of the rail vehicle in the region of the side buffers 2 of full tracks and are supported on a löngsbelastbaren support 3 of the vehicle structure.
  • the energy absorbing member 1 is formed as a pot 1a open forward in the impact direction and filled with energy absorbing material 4.
  • the pot 1a is connected via the support 3 fixed to a pressure piece 5, which is longitudinally displaceable relative to the car body 6 connected to a second stage 7 for absorbing additional deformation energy or is in operative connection.
  • This second stage 7 is designed to absorb and dissipate additional deformation energy from the longitudinal joint after consumption of the energy absorption capacity of the energy dissipation element 1 and after exceeding a predetermined longitudinal force.
  • the facilities for the driver including driver's seat 8 are further attached, which are formed longitudinally displaceable together with the pressure piece 5 in the vehicle interior and arranged.
  • the pot 1a has a guide device 9 as an insertion aid.
  • the guide device 9 is expedient, as shown in Fig. 3, designed as a funnel.
  • the jacket 10 of the pot 1a is formed sufficiently strong, such that a longitudinal guide is formed, whereby a transverse deflection of the buffer plate of a penetrating side buffer 2 and thus a lateral evasion or climbing the colliding rail vehicles prevented or at least considerably more difficult.
  • the pot 1a and / or the energy-absorbing material 4 filled therein can advantageously have a cross-section which increases in the impact direction. With such a design is achieved that the buffer plate at impact initially impinges on a smaller cross section and is given in the direction of impact with increasing cross section a curve with increasing force curve.
  • the material 4 of the energy absorption element 1 is provided as a solid material. This material 4 can be cut from the solid and fixed in the pot 1a or on the shell 10, e.g. by adhesive techniques.
  • the region of the opening of the energy absorption element 1 or of the pot 1a can be used for insertion or application of a light source.
  • FIGS 4 to 6 are schematic diagrams of the collision protection device according to the invention with representation of the second stage 7 of the collision protection device in side view in section.
  • FIG. 4 shows the beginning of the loading of the pot-like energy absorption elements 1 through the side buffers 2 of a second rail vehicle.
  • Fig. 5 shows a representation of the collision protection device after penetration of the side buffer 2 in the energy absorbing elements 1 and the beginning of the response of the second stage 7 for energy absorption of additional deformation energy.
  • FIG. 6 shows the collision protection device according to FIG. 5 after the response of the second stage 7 for absorption of deformation energy with longitudinally displaced vehicle driver's seat 8.
  • the buffer plates of the side buffers 2 come to the substantially axially aligned with them energy absorption elements 1 and pots 1a to the plant.
  • shock energy is dissipated by the deformation of the energy-absorbing material 4 arranged in the pots 1a, whereby an uncontrolled deformation of the front region of the rail vehicle equipped according to the invention is largely prevented.
  • the second stage 7 of the collision protection device After absorption of the absorption capacity and the available deformation path of the energy dissipation element 1, the second stage 7 of the collision protection device responds.
  • This second stage 7 is - as mentioned at the beginning of the description - designed to absorb and reduce additional deformation energy from the Löngiller after exceeding a predetermined longitudinal force.
  • the pressure piece 5 Since the energy absorption elements 1 are fixedly connected to the pressure piece 5, which in turn is longitudinally displaceable relative to the car body 6 connected thereto via the second stage 7, the pressure piece 5 is longitudinally displaced after exceeding the An Anlagenkraft in the shock direction. In this case, the second stage 7 is applied and reduced further impact energy. Because the pressure piece 5 and the facilities for the driver including driver's seat 8 are attached as an assembly, they are forcibly moved together with the pressure piece 5 back to the car body 6 in the less vulnerable area, the facilities of the cab remain substantially mutually spaced and do not move in a way that endangers the driver. In particular, the driver's console remains at a distance from the driver's seat and thus prevents jamming of the vehicle driver.
