Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Nahverkehrsschienenfahrzeug, vorzugsweise Niederflur-Fahrwerksfahrzeug, in Multigelenk-Bauweise mit Fahrwerken mit üblichen Achsabständen und Einstiegsbereichen mit einer niedrigen Einstiegshöhe von bis zu 250 mm sowie einer zwischen der Fahrerkabine und der ersten Achse des Niederflurfahrzeuges im vorderen ersten Einstiegsbereich angeordneten Multifunktionsfläche für Rollstuhlfahrer nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wobei die Multifunktionsfläche aus einem horizontalen Zwischenniveau gebildet wird.The invention relates to a Nahverkehrsschienenfahrzeug, preferably low-floor chassis vehicle, in multi-joint construction with chassis with conventional center distances and entry areas with a low entrance height of up to 250 mm and a arranged between the cab and the first axis of the low-floor vehicle in the front first entry area multi-functional area for wheelchair users according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the multifunctional surface is formed from a horizontal intermediate level.

Seitens der Fahrgäste wird für 100% Niederflurfahrzeuge ein barrierefreier Einstieg gewünscht. Dazu gehört auch ein moderater vertikaler Spalt am Einstiegsbereich zwischen Einstiegskante am Fahrzeug und der Bahnsteigkante. Zusätzlich besteht der Anspruch, rollstuhlfahrergerechte Flächen mit möglichst breitem Zugang auf möglichst flachen Fahrwegen zu realisieren, die großzügige, lichte Platzverhältnisse und einen für diese Zwecke empfohlenen Wendebereich bieten.For the passengers, barrier-free access is required for 100% low-floor vehicles. This also includes a moderate vertical gap at the entry area between the entry edge of the vehicle and the platform edge. In addition, there is a claim to realize wheelchair user-friendly surfaces with the widest possible access to as flat as possible roadways, which offer generous, light space and a recommended turning area for these purposes.

Seitens der Betreiber wird hinsichtlich Verschleißarmut und Wartungsfreundlichkeit von Fahrzeugen eine möglichst einfache Fahrwerkstechnologie gefordert. Dazu besteht der Wunsch nach für die Fahrgäste möglichst harmonischer Abstimmung zwischen der Fahrwegsinfrastruktur an den Haltestellen, hauptsächlich den Bahnsteigen, und der Einstiegssituation am Fahrzeug mittels einfacher Technologie, idealer Weise ohne die Verwendung von zusätzlichen Hilfsmitteln wie Niveauregulierung am Fahrzeug, Hubliften oder Klapprampen für den Einstieg von Rollstuhlfahrern an den Bahnsteigen.The operators demand the simplest suspension technology in terms of low wear and ease of maintenance of vehicles. There is a desire for harmonious coordination between the infrastructure at the stops, mainly the platforms, and the entry situation on the vehicle by means of simple technology, ideally without the use of additional aids such as level control on the vehicle, lifts or folding ramps for boarding wheelchair users at the platforms.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Schienenfahrzeuge mit unmittelbar hinter der Fahrerkabine angeordneten Mehrzweckabteilen bekannt, die über zusätzliche Hilfsmittel wie Hubplattformen oder Klapprampen für Rollstuhlfahrer zugänglich sind. Ebenso sind Mehrzweckabteile bekannt, die zwar ohne Hilfsmittel erreichbar sind, aber nicht uneingeschränkt rollstuhlfahrergerecht gestaltet sind. Allerdings sind bisher keine Lösungen bekannt, nach welchen bei entsprechend niedrigem Einstieg ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel ein rollstuhlfahrergerecht dimensionierter Mehrzweckbereich erreichbar ist.Railway vehicles with multipurpose compartments arranged directly behind the driver's cab are known from the prior art, which are accessible via additional aids such as lifting platforms or folding ramps for wheelchair users. Likewise, multi-purpose compartments are known, which are indeed accessible without tools, but are not designed to be fully wheelchair accessible. However, so far no solutions are known, according to which a correspondingly low entry without additional aids a wheelchair user dimensioned multi-purpose area can be reached.

Der Begriff "rollstuhlfahrergerecht" charakterisiert dabei die Zugänglichkeit des Multifunktionsbereiches unmittelbar angrenzend an die Fahrerkabine mittels breiter Einstiegs- und Durchgangsbereiche am vorderen ersten Einstieg sowie die Flächen und die Fahrwege, die zu diesem Bereich führen, die besonders geringen Neigungen aufweisen und eine lichte Weite, die dem Rollstuhlfahrer ein freies Wenden des Rollstuhles ermöglicht.The term "suitable for wheelchairs" characterizes the accessibility of the multi-functional area immediately adjacent to the driver's cabin by means of wide entry and passage areas at the front first entry and the surfaces and the routes that lead to this area, which have particularly low inclinations and a clear width, the allows the wheelchair user a free turning of the wheelchair.

Ein Einstiegsniveau kleiner als 250 mm wird derzeit weltweit nur durch ein Fahrzeugkonzept erreicht, welches nicht als Multigelenks-Architektur mit herkömmlicher Fahrwerkstechnologie ausgeführt ist, wobei der hohe Komplexitätsgrad der Rad- und Antriebsanordnung betriebsbedingte Verschleißnachteile sowie einen höheren Instandhaltungsaufwand bewirkt.An entry level smaller than 250 mm is currently achieved worldwide only by a vehicle concept, which is not designed as a multi-steering architecture with conventional suspension technology, the high degree of complexity of the wheel and drive assembly causes operational wear and tear as well as a higher maintenance costs.

Bisher ist es nicht gelungen, einen für Rollstuhlfahrer uneingeschränkt nutzbaren Multifunktionsbereich, unmittelbar angrenzend an die Fahrerkabine und dem vorderen ersten Einstieg, bei Einstiegshöhen < 250 mm, vorzugsweise 200 mm, zu Verfügung zu stellen, welcher den Einstieg ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel wie Hublifte oder Klapprampen ermöglicht. Insbesondere Einstiegshöhen < 250 mm, vorzugsweise 200 mm, können bislang nur durch besonders aufwendige und extrem komplexe Sonderkonstruktionen der Räder und Radsteuerungen realisiert werden, die jedoch im Lebenszyklus enorme Nachteile durch hohen Verschleiß an der Rad-Schiene-Schnittstelle und dadurch bedingte hohe Wartungs- und Instandhaltungskosten hervorrufen.So far, it has not been possible to provide a wheelchair user fully usable multi-functional area, immediately adjacent to the cab and the front first entry at entry heights <250 mm, preferably 200 mm, which allows entry without additional aids such as lifts or folding ramps , In particular entry heights <250 mm, preferably 200 mm, can be realized only by particularly complex and extremely complex special designs of wheels and wheel controls, but in the life cycle enormous disadvantages due to high wear on the wheel-rail interface and consequent high maintenance and Cause maintenance costs.

Zur Zeit werden bei Fahrzeugkonzepten mit konventioneller Fahrwerkstechnologie mit üblichen Achsabständen und kleinsten Raddurchmessern von 500 mm zur Erreichung von niedrigen Einstiegshöhen in Kombination mit rollstuhlfahrergerechten Multifunktionsflächen drei Lösungsvarianten verwendet:

  • Zum einen wird versucht, die Einstiegshöhen am Fahrzeug größer oder gleich 250 mm auszuführen, wodurch eine gute Abstimmung an Bahnsteigshöhen um die 250 mm erreicht wird, sodass der Niveauausgleich zwischen Fußbodenhöhe unmittelbar am Einstieg und Multifunktionsbereichen zur Fußbodenhöhe über den Fahrwerken durch Rampen mit kleinen, maximal 8% betragenden Neigungen, erfolgt.
  • Zum anderen wird ein vom Beladungszustand unabhängiges, weitestgehend konstantes Einstiegsniveau mittels Niveauregulierung erreicht, womit ein Wegfall oder zumindest eine deutliche Reduktion der Rampenlandschaft im Fahrzeuginnenraum ermöglicht wird.
At present, in vehicle concepts with conventional suspension technology with customary center distances and smallest wheel diameters of 500 mm to achieve low entry heights in combination with wheelchair user-friendly multifunctional surfaces, three variants of solution are used:
  • On the one hand, attempts are made to make the entry heights on the vehicle greater than or equal to 250 mm, whereby a good coordination of platform heights is achieved by 250 mm, so that the level of equalization between floor height immediately at the entrance and multi-functional areas to the floor height above the chassis by ramps with small, maximum 8% inclinations takes place.
  • On the other hand, independent of the load state, largely constant entry level is achieved by means of level control, bringing a loss or at least a significant reduction of the ramp landscape in the Vehicle interior is made possible.

Nach einem weiteren bekannten Konzept werden Rampenlandschaften in das Fahrzeug eingeführt, die 8% bei weitem übersteigen, um die Höhendifferenz des Fußbodenniveaus im Fahrwerksmodul zu Multifunktionsflächen, unmittelbar angrenzend an die Fahrerkabine und von dort zur Einstiegskante, zu überwinden.According to another known concept, ramp landscapes are introduced into the vehicle that exceed 8% by far in order to overcome the height difference of the floor level in the landing gear module to multifunctional surfaces immediately adjacent to the driver's cab and from there to the entry edge.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Einstiegssituationen in 100% niederflurigen Multigelenksfahrzeugen insbesondere für Rollstuhlfahrer zu verbessern sowie einen rollstuhlfahrergerechten Multifunktionsbereich zur Verfügung zu stellen. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Einzug eines Zwischenniveaus in herkömmlichen Multigelenksfahrzeugen wird eine rollstuhlfahrergerechte Multifunktionsfläche im Bereich hinter der Fahrerkabine zur Verfügung gestellt, welche durch ein niedrige Einstiegshöhe und einem breiten Einstiegsbereich charakterisiert ist.The object of the present invention is to improve the entry-level situations known from the prior art in 100% low-floor multi-gyro vehicles, in particular for wheelchair users, and to provide a multi-function area suitable for wheelchair users. By the introduction of an intermediate level according to the invention in conventional multi-gyro vehicles, a multi-function area suitable for wheelchair users is made available in the area behind the driver's cab, which is characterized by a low entrance height and a wide entry area.

Das horizontale Zwischenniveau weist dabei eine horizontale Fläche von rund 1,1 m2 auf und verfügt über Quer- und Längsrampen und einen Zwickelbereich, wobei die Rampen und der Zwickelbereich über Neigungen vom Niveau über den physischen Achsen in Richtung Zwischenniveau bzw. vom Zwischenniveau in Richtung Einstieg verfügen. Vorteilhaft weist das Zwischenniveau eine Fläche für einen überwiegend horizontalen Rollstuhlwendekreis von mindestens 1500 mm auf, wobei der Einstieg sowie der Zugangsweg zum Zwischenniveau über eine Breite von mindestens 1000 mm verfügen. Der überwiegende, horizontale Anteil der Fläche des Rollstuhlwendekreises an der Gesamtfläche des Wendekreises von 1500 mm Durchmesser beträgt 55,6%. Nach einem besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die maximale Rampenneigung des Zugangsweges vom Einstieg aus, quer zur Fahrtrichtung, d.h. der Querrampe, und in Fahrzeuglängsachse, d.h. der Längsrampe, maximal 7% bzw. 4° beträgt. Nach einem weiteren Merkmal ist vorgesehen, dass die maximale Rampenneigung des Zugangsweges vom Einstieg aus, quer zur Fahrtrichtung, d.h. der Querrampe, 7% bzw. 4° und in Fahrzeuglängsachse, d.h. der Längsrampe, maximal 5% bzw. 3° beträgt. Zusammen betragen die beiden Rampen, kleiner als 7% bzw. 4° Neigung betragend, 43,8% des Rollstuhlwendekreises von 1500 mm Durchmesser.The horizontal intermediate level has a horizontal area of about 1.1 m 2 and has transverse and longitudinal ramps and a gusset area, the ramps and the gusset area being inclined from the level above the physical axes towards the intermediate level and from the intermediate level in the direction Boarding. Advantageously, the intermediate level has an area for a predominantly horizontal wheelchair turning circle of at least 1500 mm, the entrance and the access path to the intermediate level having a width of at least 1000 mm. The predominant horizontal portion of the area of the wheelchair turning circle in the total area of the turning circle of 1500 mm diameter is 55.6%. According to a particular feature of the invention, it is provided that the maximum ramp inclination of the access path from the entrance, transversely to the direction of travel, ie the transverse ramp, and in the vehicle longitudinal axis, ie the longitudinal ramp, a maximum of 7% or 4 °. According to a further feature, it is provided that the maximum ramp inclination of the access path from the entrance, transversely to the direction of travel, ie the transverse ramp, 7% or 4 ° and in the vehicle longitudinal axis, ie the longitudinal ramp, a maximum of 5% or 3 °. Together, the two ramps amount to less than 7% or 4 ° inclination amounting to 43.8% of the wheelchair reversal circle of 1500 mm diameter.

Weiter ist vorgesehen, dass der Rollstuhlwendekreis zu einem geringen Teil von den Flächen für die Quer- und Längsrampen durchdrungen wird, wobei dieser Durchdringungsbereich überwiegend Rampenneigungen von maximal 7% bzw. 4° umfasst, wobei der Durchdringungsbereich zu einem geringen Teil Rampenneigungen von maximal 25% bzw. 14° umfasst. Der Anteil dieser, größer als 7% aber jedenfalls kleiner 25% betragenden Teilfläche des Wendkreises an der Gesamtfläche des Wendekreises von 1500 mm Durchmesser beträgt ca. 0,6%. Derartige Neigungen sind dabei vorzugsweise im Einstiegsbereich vorgesehen. Vorteilhaft ist auch vorgesehen, dass die Einstiegshöhe im Bereich des Einstiegs kleiner 250 mm, vorzugsweise 200 bis 220 mm beträgt.It is further envisaged that the wheelchair turning circle to a small extent by the Surfaces for the transverse and longitudinal ramps is penetrated, wherein this penetration area predominantly ramp inclinations of a maximum of 7% or 4 °, wherein the penetration area comprises a small part ramp slopes of not more than 25% or 14 °. The proportion of this, greater than 7% but in any case less than 25% amount of part of the turning circle on the total surface of the turning circle of 1500 mm diameter is about 0.6%. Such inclinations are preferably provided in the entry area. Advantageously, it is also provided that the entry height in the entry area is less than 250 mm, preferably 200 to 220 mm.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird die Einrichtung eines für Rollstuhlfahrer uneingeschränkt nutzbaren Multifunktionsbereiches, unmittelbar angrenzend an die Fahrerkabine in 100% niederflurigen Multigelenksfahrzeugen in modularer Bauweise, mit einem unüblich niedrigen Einstiegsniveau unter 250 mm, vorzugsweise 200 mm, ermöglicht. Dabei wird eine völlig neuartige Einstiegssituation für Rollstuhlfahrer in Form einer Multifunktionsfläche vorgeschlagen, die unmittelbar hinter der Fahrerkabine eines 100% niederflurigen Gelenksfahrzeuges mit herkömmlicher Fahrwerkstechnik mit besonders niedrigen Einstiegshöhen von kleiner 250 mm über Schienenoberkante ohne Verwendung weiterer Einstiegshilfen wie Klapprampen oder Hubliften auskommt.The present invention makes it possible to set up a multifunctional area which can be used without restriction for wheelchair users, directly adjacent to the driver's cab, in 100% low-floor multi-articulated vehicles of modular construction, with an unusually low entry level of less than 250 mm, preferably 200 mm. Here, a completely new entry-level situation for wheelchair users in the form of a multi-functional surface is proposed, which manages directly behind the driver's cab of a 100% low-floor articulated vehicle with conventional suspension technology with particularly low entry heights of less than 250 mm above rail level without the use of additional boarding aids such as folding ramps or lifts.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein 100% niederfluriges Multigelenksfahrzeug unter Verwendung von herkömmlichen Fahrwerken mit üblichen Achsabständen, von Achsradsätzen sowie Losrädern auf Portalachsen mit unterschiedlichen Antriebskonzepten und Losrädern in Einzelradaufhängungen in unterschiedlichen Antriebskonzepten, wobei die geringsten Raddurchmesser (z.B. abgefahrener Zustand) 500 mm nicht unterschreiten und wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, eine rollstuhlfahrergerechte Multifunktionsfläche 5 plus Zutrittsmöglichkeit durch Einstiegstüren 4 unmittelbar zwischen der erste Achse 3 und der Fahrerkabine 2 angeordnet ist.The Fig. 1 shows a 100% low-floor Multigehnksfahrzeug using conventional suspensions with conventional center distances, axle sets and idler gears on portal axles with different drive concepts and idler gears in independent suspension in different drive concepts, the smallest wheel diameter (eg crazy state) does not fall below 500 mm and how Fig. 2 can be seen, a wheelchair user-friendly multi-functional surface 5 plus accessibility through entrance doors 4 is located directly between the first axis 3 and the driver's cab 2.

Die Einstiegshöhe an der Tür-Einstiegskante von ca. 200 mm, jedenfalls < 250 mm über Schienenoberkante (üSOK), soll Rollstuhlfahrern bei 100% niederflurigen Multigelenksfahrzeugen ein Betreten des Fahrzeuges bei besonders flachen Bahnsteigen oder sogar vom Schienenniveau aus ermöglichen. Die Multifunktionsfläche 5 wird wie in den Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 dargestellt, durch ein horizontales Zwischenniveau 5.1 gebildet, welches eine überwiegend horizontale Fläche aufweist. Weiter sind Quer- und Längsrampen 5.2, 5.3 vorgesehen, welche über Neigungen vom Niveau über den physischen Achsen in Richtung Zwischenniveau 5.1 bzw. vom Zwischenniveau 5.1 in Richtung Einstiegsbereich 4 verfügen. Das Zwischenniveau (5.1) umfasst eine Fläche von rund 1,1 m2 für einen überwiegend horizontalen Rollstuhlwendekreis von mindestens 1500 mm und der Einstiegsbereich 4 sowie der Zugangsweg zum Zwischenniveau 5.1 weist eine Breite von mindestens 1000 mm auf. Die maximalen Rampenneigungen des Zugangsweges vom Einstiegsbereich 4 aus, quer zur Fahrtrichtung, d.h. der Querrampe 5.2 sowie in Fahrzeuglängsachse, d.h. der Längsrampe 5.3 betragen maximal 7% bzw. 4°. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung gemäß den Fig.4 und 5 betragen die maximalen Rampenneigungen des Zugangsweges vom Einstiegsbereich aus, quer zur Fahrtrichtung, d.h. der Querrampe 5.2 7% bzw. 4° und in Fahrzeuglängsachse, d.h. der Längsrampe 5.3 maximal 5% bzw. 3°. Der Rollstuhlwendekreis kann zu einem geringeren Teil von den Flächen für die Quer- und Längsrampen 5.2, 5.3 durchdrungen sein, wobei dieser Durchdringungsbereich überwiegend Rampenneigungen von maximal 7% bzw. 4° umfasst. Der Durchdringungsbereich kann zu einem verschwindend geringen Teil auch einen Zwickelbereich 5.4 mit einer Rampenneigung von maximal 25% bzw. 14° umfassen, wobei derartige Neigungen vorzugsweise in Richtung des Einstiegsbereichs 4 vorgesehen sind, was aus der Fig. 5 deutlich wird.The entry height at the door entry edge of approx. 200 mm, in any case <250 mm above the top of the rail (üSOK), is intended to enable wheelchair users to enter the vehicle on particularly flat platforms or even from the rail level in the case of 100% low-floor multi-girder vehicles. The multi-functional surface 5 is like in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 represented by a horizontal intermediate level 5.1 formed, which has a predominantly horizontal surface. Further, transverse and longitudinal ramps 5.2, 5.3 are provided, which have inclinations from the level above the physical axes in the direction of intermediate level 5.1 and from the intermediate level 5.1 in the direction of access area 4. The intermediate level (5.1) comprises an area of about 1.1 m 2 for a predominantly horizontal wheelchair turning circle of at least 1500 mm and the access area 4 and the access path to the intermediate level 5.1 has a width of at least 1000 mm. The maximum ramp inclinations of the access path from the entry area 4, transverse to the direction of travel, ie the transverse ramp 5.2 and in the vehicle longitudinal axis, ie the longitudinal ramp 5.3 amount to a maximum of 7% or 4 °. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention according to the Figure 4 and 5 The maximum ramp inclinations of the access path from the entry area, transverse to the direction of travel, ie the transverse ramp 5.2 7% or 4 ° and in the vehicle longitudinal axis, ie the longitudinal ramp 5.3 maximum 5% or 3 °.
