Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rail vehicle which is rollably supported on rails by means of a train of wheels.
- a train of wheels For example, it may be a locomotive or a railcar.
- Such rail vehicles are equipped with a cab, in which control consoles are installed for the train or driver.
- a cab has a separate entry and exit option, wherein a vehicle wall of the vehicle body can be passed through a door.
- German patent application DE 10 2012 213 181 AI discloses an extendable ladder and a vehicle with an extendable ladder in this context.
- This has a bottom end portion facing which comprises at least one extendable rung.
- this extendable rung is in a position facing the ground, so that the Driver can enter by means of this rung in the rail vehicle.
- egg n pneumatic pressure cylinder and this counteracting gas spring installed, so that the extendable rung of the conductor device can be extended by means of compressed air, and retraction of the restoring force of the gas spring is ensured.
- the extendable ladder is connected to the existing compressed air system of the vehicle.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved rail vehicle with a boarding device, wherein the boarding device has a simple and robust structure and is characterized in particular in use by high reliability and positive ergonomics.
- the rail vehicle is formed inter alia by a vehicle body and a gear train, whereby the rail vehicle is mounted rollably on rails. Furthermore, the rail vehicle or the vehicle body of the rail vehicle has an access area and an entry device arranged thereon, which makes it possible to reach an interior of the vehicle body.
- the entry area can be formed together with a door device. It is also conceivable, however, for the access area to be arranged on a platform-like section of the rail vehicle, it being possible to enter the interior of the vehicle body from this platform-like section, for example through a door device. In particular, this is an access exclusively for a driver and / or staff of the rail vehicle. That is, the boarding device is not suitable and / or intended to enable passengers who use the rail vehicle for passenger transport, in the ordinary use case, a boarding and alighting between a platform and the passenger compartment of the rail vehicle.
- the boarding device is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the entry area and has a lower tread, a guide device, a return element and a damping element.
- the entry area can be designed as a door sill and / or lower door edge of a door device.
- the entry-level device is arranged in the vicinity of the door device in such a way that a person using the entry-level device can directly grasp and actuate the door device and ultimately move through the door device.
- the lower tread of the boarding device is slidably disposed by means of the guide device on the entry area, wherein the translation of the lower tread can take place in a Vertika direction between an upper position and a lower position.
- the term "vertical direction" is always to be understood in connection with the deployed position of the rail vehicle. ⁇ br/> ⁇ br/> In particular, this means that the lower step in the lower position is closer to the ground and in the upper position closer to the entry area is positioned.
- the restoring element and the damping element are arranged between the lower tread and the boarding area that the lower tread can be brought by a restoring force provided by the restoring element in the course of a return movement from the lower position to the upper position.
- a damping force is generated by means of the damping element, which can counteract the restoring force.
- the arrangement of the restoring element of the entry device of the rail vehicle described that the lower tread is basically in the upper position. If a person, for example the driver, wants to get on the rail vehicle, the person would manually move the lower step from the upper position to the lower position.
- the boarding device is designed so that the lower tread is placed in the lower position so close to the ground that the distance between the bottom and lower tread can be overcome by a normal sized, healthy man.
- all the vertically displaceable parts, for example the lower tread are held in the retracted position by the spring bias, effectively preventing the back from falling from the lower position to the upper position by the damping element.
- the restoring element and the damping element are designed such that the return movement of the lower tread is so slow and / or delayed, so that climbing the lower tread by the person immediately after the extension or undressing readily possible is.
- the speed of the return movement in particular the force ratio of damping force and restoring force, is selected so that it allows the person to enter the tread with a foot before it moves too far from the ground in the course of the return movement. If the lower tread is in the lower position and at the same time loaded by a part of a weight force of a foot of the persons, this remains in the lower position.
- the restoring element can be designed such that the necessary weight force for holding the lower tread in the lower position is a maximum of 50 N, preferably a maximum of 40 N, in particular a maximum of 30 N.
- the invention proposes to dimension the return element so that it is a normal size and healthy person is possible to spend the lower step from the upper position to the lower position by the restoring force is overcome manually by the person.
- the maximum restoring force between 10 N and 100 N, preferably 15 N and 75 N, more preferably 20 N and 30 N.
- the restoring force in this case also take into account the weight of the lower treadmill optionally with it firmly connected components , This is particularly useful if the mass of the lower tread device counteracts the restoring force. This is the case in a direction of displacement of the lower treadle only in the vertical direction.
- the damping element is designed so that its damping constant has a value between 5 kg / s and 80 kg / s, preferably between 10 kg / s and 50 kg / s, and more preferably between 15 kg / s and 20 kg / s is.
- the boarding device is designed as a telescopic ladder assembly with at least one transverse to the vertical direction spar.
- the ladder arrangement or the spar is composed of a fixed part and an extractable part arranged displaceably thereon and thus form the guiding device.
- the fixed part is attached to the boarding area and arranged in this regard and displaceable.
- the pull-out part carries the lower step and / or is integrally formed therewith.
- the guide device may be partially formed, for example, the fixed part of the conductor assembly or the spar, integrated in the vehicle body. This would be conceivable by the lower tread would be performed directly in a rail provided in the vehicle body in the vertical direction. The said guiding device would in this case be formed by the rail and by a rail-engaging part of the tread.
- the boarding device has an upper tread. Particular, this may be arranged substantially at the location of the upper position of the lower tread. Consequently, the lower tread is in the upper position and the upper tread is substantially in the same position. The lower tread is in the lower position, it is spaced from the upper tread in the vertical displacement direction, wherein the upper tread and the lower tread form two rungs of the ladder-type entry device in function.
- the upper tread may be configured with a receptacle having a shape corresponding to the lower tread.
- the lower tread can be substantially completely absorbed in the receptacle of the upper tread.
- the lower tread located in the upper position disappears in the receptacle of the upper tread, whereby the wind resistance of the individual components and a risk of injury is reduced and an increased structural-visual homogeneity is produced.
- the upper tread has a downwardly open, box-shaped receptacle - for example, similar to a lid of a shoebox - and that the lower tread show a similar, smaller box-shaped form. Due to the smaller in relation to the upper tread shape of the lower tread this can at least partially, preferably completely, can be included in the underside. Furthermore, the damping element and the restoring element can be arranged within the guide device, in particular of the spar. As a result, a com pact size is achieved.
- damping element and restoring element are provided with respect to their longitudinal axes parallel or coaxial with each other on the guide device, in particular on or in the spar.
- the conductor device is provided with two parallel bars, wherein the upper tread is respectively provided on the fixed parts of the spars, and the lower tread each on the Ausforceeil in the spars, the conductor device comprises two rungs, wherein the one Rung is slidably provided opposite the other rung.
- the entry device has at least one additional auxiliary step, which is fixedly arranged on the extension part of the conductor device.
- the boarding device may comprise a further fixed tread, which is arranged in the vertical direction above the upper tread.
- a vertical distance between the lower tread to the upper tread may be substantially equal to the distance between the upper tread and the vertically further fixed further tread.
- the boarding device forms a ladder device with substantially three equally spaced rungs.
- the auxiliary strut and the other fixed step on the boarding device be designed and arranged so that the Hilfst ride is in the upper position in the vertical direction substantially at the same height level as the other fixed tread.
- a person getting off the rail vehicle can step on the fixed tread with one foot and load the auxiliary foot with the other foot.
- the lower tread can be extended vertically by partially loading the auxiliary tread with weight against the return movement in the extension direction. If the pull-out part with the aid step and the lower step is fully extended, the auxiliary step and / or the lower step can be used as a further support for one foot.
- the auxiliary part is thus, as well as the lower tread, as a displaceable rung.
- the auxiliary part either completely or partially as a tread and / or with one or as a handle, with a Einsteigewillige person in this way, the lower tread can pull out by pulling the handle of the auxiliary strut from the upper position to the lower position.
- the rail vehicle or the entry device comprises a locking device, whereby the lower tread can be set in the lower and / or in the upper position.
- This locking aid allows the lower tread to be permanently in the lower and / or upper position, and the lower tread does not have to be actuated each time, for example, when entering and exiting several times.
- the locking device may have a release mechanism for releasing this locking device.
- a release mechanism with a trigger is designed so that the latch can be opened by a human foot and / or by a manual operation of the trigger.
- the trigger could be arranged so that it is operable when the person ascending stands on the upper tread and / or on the other fixed tread.
- the locking device can be solved by the lower tread in the course of 'Anamides' or 'Ankickens', briefly relieved, loaded and relieved again. That is, while the person entering a substantial part of their body weight with one leg already supported on the upper tread or possibly on the other solid tread, so with the other leg of the release mechanism of the locking device by a repeated occurrence on the lower tread or optionally on the auxiliary tread be operated. Thus, the lower tread is retracted when the entering person has already reached the boarding area of the rail vehicle.
- An entry into the rail vehicle can thus vonstatten expressed as follows: the einsteigewillige person approaches the rail vehicle, which is located for example on the track bed next to the rails or on a low boarding platform.
- the lower tread of the boarding device is either in the upper position or is already held by the locking device in the lower position.
- the person engages a portion of the displaceable portion of the boarding device, for example, the lower step, the pull-out and / or the auxiliary step, and causes an extension of the lower tread by a corresponding pulling.
- the locking device is provided with a snap mechanism, so that the lower tread automatically locks when it has reached the lower position. Now the person enters the lower tread and rises by using the upper tread and possibly the other fixed tread on the rail vehicle. If necessary, then the trigger of the release mechanism 'of the locking device can be actuated so that the lower tread is retracted due to the restoring force from the lower position to the upper position.
- the entry device comprises a holding device, whereby the lower tread can be fixed in the upper position.
- the lower tread can be fixed in the upper position.
- this could be necessary for the operation of the rail vehicle if the return element were defective and could not provide a restoring force for holding the lower tread in the upper position, for example in the event of breakage of a return spring.
- the boarding device is provided with a sensor element for detecting a position of the lower tread.
