The invention relates to a method for closing a sliding door of a rail vehicle, in particular a double-leaf sliding door, which is moved into a recess of a wall, wherein the recess is delimited at least on one side with a fold. In the closed state of the sliding door thus results in a longitudinal direction of the wall extending first gap between the sliding door and the fold and a transverse thereto second gap between the sliding door and the fold. Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement for a Schienenfahizeug, comprising a wall with a recess which is bounded at least on one side of said recess with a fold, and a sliding door, in particular a double-leaf sliding door, which by means of an associated locking mechanism in said recess is movable. Here, too, in the closed state of the sliding door, a first gap between the sliding door and the fold extending in the longitudinal direction of the wall and a second gap running transversely thereto between the sliding door and the fold. Finally, the invention relates to a sliding door for the above-mentioned arrangement. The sliding door is limited by an area in the plane and by an area in the depth

Such an arrangement with a sliding door or a method for closing a sliding door of the type mentioned are basically known. In principle, there is always the danger that a passenger standing in front of the sliding door, who engages around a wing of the sliding door in his outer area by hand, is jammed in the first (rear) gap. In addition, since the hand is bent around the corner in this case, this is very unpleasant. In addition, the hand is very difficult to pull out of the first gap. In the

2-natural reaction of the man who tries to pull out his hand in the direction of the second gap, the hand gets hooked because of the corner even more. The same of course applies if a passenger wants to pull another obstacle, such as a jammed belt out of the gap.

The object of the invention is now to provide an improved arrangement with a sliding door of a rail vehicle, or an improved method for closing a sliding door of a rail vehicle. In particular, the risk of (permanent) jamming of an obstacle in a gap between a wall and a sliding door arranged therein should be reduced with little technical effort.

The object of the invention is achieved by a method of the type mentioned, in which a switching element of the sliding door, which is arranged in the region of an edge, which is formed by the first and second gap facing surfaces, and its SchaHrichtung / Actuationsnchtung in an angular range between the orientation of the first gap and the orientation of the second gap is moved when closing on the fold.

Furthermore, the object of the invention with an arrangement of the type mentioned above, in which the sliding door has a switching element which is arranged in the region of an edge, which is formed by the first and second gap facing surfaces, and its switching direction / actuating direction in one Angle range lies between the orientation of the first Gpaft and the orientation of the second gap.

Finally, the object of the invention is achieved by a sliding door for the above-mentioned arrangement, comprising a switching element, which is arranged in the region of an edge, which is formed by said surfaces, and its direction of the blade / actuating direction in an angular range between the orientation of the two surfaces lies.

The above measures will bring several benefits. In particular, obstacles will be encountered when closing the sliding door at both N2011 / 17B00 21/03/2012 13:37

Moving the same in the longitudinal direction of the wall, ie parallel to the wall, as well as when moving transversely to reliably detected with only a single switching element. In addition, the shadow element triggers reliably when an obstacle is trapped in the gap between the sliding door and the wall.

By train on a trapped obstacle, the switching element is reliably triggered by its special arrangement, regardless of the direction in which is pulled on the obstacle Therefore, in a preferred variant of SchiebetQre no further switching element for detecting a jammed obstacle is provided. The area around the edge arranged between the first and second gap is then the only area in the course of the first and second gap in which a switching element is arranged (in particular a switching element for detecting a jammed obstacle). The shank process can trigger different things. For example, an optical and / or audible alarm can be triggered to notify the train crew, in particular the train driver. Alternatively or additionally, the opening of the sliding door can be initiated with a switching operation of the switching element to release the obstacle.

In this way, the immediate risk of injury from the pinching of a hand, as well as the risk of subsequent injury, which may result from the co-grinding of the passenger and lead to its death, can be significantly reduced with only a small technical Aulwand.

In the context of the invention, a "switching direction" or "actuating direction" is to be understood as the direction under which the switching element can be actuated. In general, this is not a single direction, but a fret! or a range of directions. For example, a button can also be operated at an oblique angle. In the context of the invention, at least one shunting direction / actuating direction now lies in the angular range between the alignment of the two mentioned gaps between the sliding door and the wall, or between the alignment of the two limiting surfaces of the sliding door. In other words, the angle range, under N2011 / 17800 21/03/2012 13:38

Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and from the description in conjunction with the figures.

It is advantageous if the harvest gap running in the longitudinal direction of the wall between the sliding door and the fold closes more tightly than the second gap between the sliding door and the fold extending transversely thereto. Therefore, an obstacle enclosing the sliding door is jammed only in the first gap (ie in the rear gap), but not in the second gap (ie in the lateral gap). As a result, a trapped obstacle is slightly stretched when pulling from the outside, so that the switching element triggers safely.

It is also conceivable, however, that the first gap running between the sliding door and the fold in the longitudinal direction of the wall closes less tightly than the second gap between the sliding door and the fold which transverses it transversely. As a result, an obstacle enclosing the sliding door is jammed only in the second gap (ie in the lateral gap), but not in the first gap (ie in the rear gap). The removal of the obstacle by means of a directed in the direction of the second gap force succeeds relatively easily, since the obstacle does not have to be pulled around the corner.

It is advantageous if the second gap is closed slower than the first gap in this way a passenger longer time to pull his hand or another obstacle from the danger zone. It is favorable when the sliding door is moved during closing substantially normal to the longitudinal direction of the first gap (or in the longitudinal direction of the second gap), wherein the second gap is aligned approximately normal to the first gap. This variant of the method can be put into practice with a particularly low technical wall, since both the N2011 / 17800 21/03/2012 13:39

Nevertheless, the risk of jamming an obstacle between the sliding door and wall can be significantly reduced.

It is advantageous if the sliding door during closing is moved approximately normal to the longitudinal direction of the first gap, wherein the second gap is aligned obliquely to the first gap. Despite maintaining a normally aligned to the longitudinal direction of the first gap closing movement of the sliding door can be mitigated in this way a shearing movement in the second gap when closing the sliding door.

It is also advantageous if the sliding door is moved obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the first gap when closing, wherein the second gap is aligned approximately normal to the first gap. Despite maintaining a right-angled fold in the recess of the wall can be mitigated in this way, a shearing movement in the second gap when closing the sliding door.

It is also advantageous if the wings of a double-skinned sliding door are moved successively when closing in the recess of the wall. In particular, when the wings are moved obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the first gap, it can be avoided by these features that the sealing function is reduced wings at frer joint in the closed state, or the wings gape apart at all. It is also advantageous when the sliding door is inclined to each other, the first and second gap facing surfaces comprises It is advantageous in this context, when said surfaces form an obtuse angle. As a result, a shearing movement in the second gap during the sliding of the sliding door can be alleviated.

But it is also advantageous if the surfaces mentioned alternatively form an acute angle. As a result, the sliding door can not be pushed outwards, even if a designated lock should fail, since the N2011 / 17800 21/03/2012 13:40

Flligel the sliding door in the rebate of the recess in the wall or mutually interlock. It should be noted at this point that this variant can also form an independent invention independent of the features of patent claim 1. In addition, it is favorable if the sliding door has normal surfaces which face one another and faces the first and second gaps. The sliding door can therefore be manufactured in a particularly simple manner. It is also favorable if the sliding door comprises at least two arranged in said area and vertically spaced switching elements and a switching elements upstream, movable in the direction of switching bar In this way, one of the two switching elements safely triggered, no matter what height the bar pressed in the switching direction becomes.

It is particularly advantageous if substantially the entire height of the sliding door is surrounded by one or more strips arranged one above the other. In this way, a jammed obstacle over the entire height of the sliding door can be reliably detected.

Finally, it is also particularly advantageous if the switching element is designed as a band switch (also known by the term "ribbon switch" or "tape switch"). Such a band shackle comprises an elastic housing, e.g. made of rubber, with internal contact strips. If the housing is so strongly deformed at any point that the two contact strips touch each other, it can be assumed that there is a hermdemis in the region of the door, whereupon appropriate countermeasures can be initiated. Preferably, the band switch extends over the entire height of the sliding door.

It should be noted at this point that the variants disclosed in relation to the method according to the invention and the resulting advantages are equally applicable to the arrangement according to the invention and the sliding door according to the invention, and vice versa. 142011/17800 21/03/2012 13:40

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, identical parts are given the same reference numerals or identical component designations, the disclosures contained throughout the description being able to be applied mutatis mutandis to identical parts with the same reference numerals or identical component designations. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent, inventive or inventive solutions. All statements on ranges of values in the description of the present invention should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges thereof, e.g. is the statement 1 to 10 to be understood that all sub-areas, starting from the lower limit 1 and the upper limit 10 are included, ie. all subregions begin with a lower limit of 1 or greater and end at an upper limit of 10 or less, e.g. 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1 or 5.5 to 10.

1 shows a variant of a schematically illustrated arrangement 100 for a rail vehicle, which comprises a wall 3 and a sliding door 200, according to the prior art. The double-leaf sliding door 200 is by means of an associated locking mechanism (not shown) in a recess of the wall 3, which is bounded on both sides of said recess with a fold 4, movable.

2 to 4 show the sequence of movement when closing the door 200. Starting from an open position shown in FIG. 2, the wings of the sliding door 200 are displaced along the wall 3 until they collide at the end. This condition is shown in FIG. It can be clearly seen that an obstacle which engages around a wing of the sliding door 200 in its outer area (e.g., a careless passenger's hand) is surely detected by the switching element 800. If such a case, countermeasures can be initiated, for example, the sliding door 200 can be stopped or reduced. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that an optical and / or audible alarm is triggered in order to make the relevant passenger or train crew aware of the dangerous situation.

In the normal case, ie without Voriiegen an obstacle, the two wings are moved normal to the above-mentioned direction of movement in the recess of the wall 3, until they finally reach their final position. This condition is shown in FIG.

4, the first gap 5 between the sliding door 200 and the fold 4, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall 3, is narrower than the transverse thereto second gap 6 between the sliding door 200 and the fold 4. This is for reliable triggering of the switching element 800 of advantage, as will be explained in more detail to the arrangement shown in Fig. 8. The sliding door 200 comprises surfaces facing one another, facing the first and second gap 5, 6. Accordingly, the sliding door 200 is normally moved when closing to the longitudinal direction of the first column 5, wherein the second gap 6 is normally aligned with the first gap 5. This is by no means the only option.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show the closing process of an alternative sliding door 201 analogous to the closing operation for the sliding door 200 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. The sliding door 201 comprises surfaces which face one another at an angle and face the first and second gap 5, 6 Example to form an obtuse angle. When closing, the sliding door 201 becomes normal to the N2011 / 17800 21/03/2012 13:42

The first gap 5 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the first gap 5, wherein the second gap 6 is aligned obliquely to the first gap 5. The shearing movement occurring in the arrangement 100 of FIGS. 1 to 4 in the second gap 6 softened, which reduces the risk of injury.

As can be easily seen from FIG. 7, the first gap 5 between the sliding door 202 and the fold 4, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall 3, is wider than the second spait 6 extending transversely between the sliding door 202 and the latter 4. Thus, the first gap 5 when closing the sliding door 202 is less tightly closed than the second gap 6. Therefore, a sliding door encompassing obstacle is jammed only in the second gap 6, but not in the first gap 5. The withdrawal of the obstacle by a directed in the direction of the second gap 6 force is thus significantly easier than in the arrangement 100 shown in Figures 1 to 4. The obstacle is behind the corner, that is in the first gap 5, not jammed and thus can relatively easily pulled around them become.

A further advantage of the arrangement 101 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is that the second gap 6 closes more slowly than the first gap 5 because of the inclined surfaces of the sliding door 201. In this way, a passenger remains longer

Time to pull his hand or other obstacle out of the danger area.

By providing a certain inclination, the ratio of the shooting speeds in columns 5 and 6 can be arbitrarily set.

Fig. 8 shows a particular embodiment of a SohiebetOr 202 in the region of the fold 4 in detail, it being assumed that an obstacle 7, for example a belt, a jacket or another similar object, has jammed in the first gap 5. In addition, a thickening arranged on the obstacle 7 (see the squaring circle), e.g. a button of a coat, the withdrawal of the obstacle 7 impossible. In this example, the second gap 6 is wider than the first gap 5. Good to see is that the obstacle 7 is not clamped in the second gap 6. N2011 / 17800 21/03/2012 13:43

The sliding door 202 comprises a switching element 801, which is arranged in the region of the edge, which is formed by the said inclined surfaces of the sliding door 202. Wherein its direction of the shadow lies in an angular range between the orientation of the first gap 5 and the orientation of the second gap 6.

In order to protect the switching element 801, this is a cover 9, for example made of rubber, upstream. By train on the obstacle 7, which is symbolized by the forces F, the obstacle 7 is stretched slightly. Because of the special arrangement of the switching element 801 this is reliably relieved, no matter in which direction on the obstacle 7 is pulled (see also the section of the obstacle 7 shown in dashed lines). Therefore, no further switching element 801 need be provided for the detection of a jammed obstacle 7.

The area around the edge arranged between the columns 5 and 6 is thus in this example the only area in the course of the first and second gap 5, 6, in which a switching element 801 is arranged, in particular a switching element B01 for the detection of a jammed obstacle 7.

In order to further improve the detection reliability, in a variant shown schematically in FIG. 9, two vertically spaced switching elements 801 and a strip 10 that is upstream of the switching elements 801 and is movable in the scarfing direction are provided. Preferably, substantially the entire height of the sliding door 202 is encompassed by the strip 10 in this way one of the two switching elements 801 is reliably triggered, regardless of the height at which the strip 10 is pressed in the switching direction.

Of course, several strips 10 can be distributed over the height of the sliding door 202. It is also possible that more than two switching elements 801 are provided per bar 10. Of course, it is also possible to provide only one switching element 801 per bar when the bar 10 is performed accordingly.

The strip 10 may be disposed behind the cover 9 or even act as a cover for the switching elements 801, thereby fulfilling a multiple function.

FIG. 10 shows an arrangement 103 which is very similar to the arrangement 102 shown in FIG. Instead of discrete switching elements 801 preceded by an optional strip 10, in this example the shadow element is formed by a ribbon switch 802 (also known by the term "ribbon switch" or "tape switch"). The band switch 802 includes an elastic housing, e.g. made of rubber, with inner contact strips, which are recognizable in FIG. 10 as thick lines. If the housing is deformed sufficiently at any point, the two contact strips touch each other, whereupon the countermeasures already mentioned above can be initiated. Advantageously, the band switch 802 extends over the entire height of the slide 203.

It should be noted at this point that the teaching disclosed in FIGS. 8 to 10 is, of course, not limited to the sliding doors 202 and 203, but is also applicable to the sliding doors 200, 201 and 204 to 207 shown in the other figures.

FIG. 11 shows an arrangement 104 which is very similar to the arrangement 100. In the . In contrast to this, however, here too the first gap 5 is closed less closely than the second gap 6, as a result of which the advantages already mentioned for the arrangement 102 result for this embodiment as well.

Finally, Fig. 12 shows that the invention is of course applicable not only to double-leaf sliding doors but also to single-leaf sliding doors. On the sliding door 205 are on both sides switching elements 800, which should detect obstacles in the manner already mentioned. In a variant, not shown, the sliding door 205 has only one switching element 800, which is preferably arranged in front of the sliding door 205 with respect to the closing direction. In this way, obstacles when closing both when moving the sliding door 205 in the longitudinal direction of the wall 3 and across it with only a single switching element 800 are reliably detected. The switching element 800 thus detects obstacles when sliding the sliding door 205 in the longitudinal direction, in transverse direction, in the transverse direction.

FIGS. 13 to 17 show the sequence of movement of a further alternative variant of a sliding door 206. Starting from an open position shown in FIG. 13, the leaves of the sliding door 206 are displaced along the wall 3 until they collide at the ends. This condition is shown in FIG.

As can be easily seen, the wings of the sliding door 206 slightly offset from the center of the recess of the wall 3 together. Thereafter, the left wing of the sliding door 206 is moved obliquely to the left fold 4 of the recess until it reaches its end position. Thereafter, or simultaneously with the above-mentioned movement, the right wing of the sliding door 206 is slightly shifted to the left. From this position shown in Fig. 16, the right wing is moved obliquely to the right fold 4 of the recess until it reaches its end position. This condition is illustrated in FIG. 17.

The sliding door thus comprises surfaces which are normal to one another and face the first and second gap 5, 6. When closing the sliding door 206 is moved obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the first gap 5. The wings of the sliding door 206 are thereby successively moved into the recess of the wall 3

Advantageously, in this way, the shearing movement occurring in the arrangements 100, 104 and 105 in the second gap 6 can be mitigated, even if the fold 4 is rectangular in the wall 3. For completeness, it is mentioned that the sequence of movements shown when opening the sliding door 206 is not necessarily must be reversible. Instead, both wings of the sliding door 206 at the same time from the recess of the wall 3 and in consequence can also be moved simultaneously to the left and right.

By selecting a particular Schlleßrichtung the wing, the ratio of the closing speeds in columns 5 and 6 can be set arbitrarily. In particular, said ratio can be adjusted so that the second gap 6 closes more slowly than the first gap 5. In this way, a N2011 / 17B00 21/03/2012 13:45 remains

Finally, FIG. 18 shows a further variant of a sliding door 207, which is very similar to the sliding door 206 shown in FIGS. 13 to 17. In contrast thereto, the sliding door 207 comprises inclined surfaces facing the first and second gap 5, 6, which make an acute angle. Advantageously, this sliding door 207 can not be pressed outward even if a designated lock should fail, since the wings of the sliding door 207 in Falz 4 or hook each other.

The embodiments show possible embodiments of a sliding door according to the invention 201.207 for a rail vehicle, it being noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated Ausfüh- variants of the same, but also various combinations of the individual embodiments are mutually possible and this variation possibility due the doctrine of technical action by objective invention in the skill of those working in this technical field is the expert.

In particular, it is tested that a sliding door 201..207 for a rail vehicle may in reality also comprise more components than illustrated or less.
