Description

The invention relates to a modular system for forming a rail vehicle, in particular a multiple unit, with a plurality of car bodies, with at least one single-floor car body and at least one double-decker car body, the single-deck car body and the double-decker car body each comprising at least one passenger compartment and at least one end having a connection area, comprising a chassis terminal, a car transition terminal, a power transmission terminal and / or a signal transmission terminal.

The requirements for rail vehicles differ i.a. depending on the distance traveled and the number of passengers to be carried. The length of rail vehicles is usually determined by the required passenger capacity and the length of the existing on the route to be traveled platforms. If a higher passenger capacity is required, double deck carts can be used. The maximum length of the wagons of a rail vehicle is also limited by the maximum axle load of the chassis.

In the EP 1 024 070 B1 a modular train set is described, which includes only double-decker car bodies. In order to assemble rail vehicles of different capacity, which have a balanced drive and weight distribution, it is proposed to distribute driven axles according to a formula evenly over the vehicle, while heavy components are to be arranged on non-driven bogies.

The EP 616 936 B1 shows an articulated train, the double-decker and one-story car bodies, with a variety of different car bodies are provided to make rail vehicles for many different requirements can. In addition to single-storey car bodies double-decker car bodies are provided, with central car are provided with differently designed car transitions to connect two-storey and one-story car bodies with each other.

The disadvantage of the known solutions is that a large number of different components or components has to be provided for the design of rail vehicles for different requirements. Although it can be used for high capacity requirements in addition to single-storey and double-decker car bodies, the use of other car bodies but requires a completely different vehicle or a considerable in the integration differently designed car bodies.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide means for creating a rail vehicle, which allow a simple and cost-effective adaptation of the rail vehicle to different requirements, in particular with regard to the capacity of the rail vehicle.

This object is achieved with a device according to claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved with a rail vehicle with the device according to claim 13 and a use of the device according to claim 15. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are contained in the subclaims.

According to the invention, the solution of the problem lies in the fact that the connection areas of the at least one double-decker trolley and the at least one single-deck trolley are configured such that further single-deck trolleys and further double-decker trolleys with correspondingly designed connection areas can be joined in any order to form a rail vehicle. The interfaces between the car bodies thus allow the compilation of a rail vehicle according to the specific requirements of the vehicle operator, where either double-deck carts, single-deck carts or both types of car bodies can be used simultaneously in a vehicle and even when using different types of car bodies only minor or no constructive or structural changes must be made. The modular system is thus suitable for creating a vehicle fleet which, with a great variability of rail vehicles for different distances and passenger volumes, fulfills a wide variety of requirements, while the adaptation effort during the assembly of a vehicle remains low.

The modular system is understood to mean a construction kit comprising the components required for assembling a rail vehicle. In order to meet specific requirements, alternatives are provided for certain components or components, which can be selected according to the requirements and preferably used using the same interfaces. In contrast to a conventional rail vehicle, in which only the number of cars or the length and thus the capacity can be adjusted by adding or omitting individual cars, the modular system according to the invention also allows further adjustments of the vehicle.

According to a preferred variant of the invention, at least one chassis can be arranged in the connection area between two adjacent car bodies. By supporting two car bodies on a common chassis, can be dispensed with a coupling between the car bodies and an overall lower vehicle weight can be achieved. All chassis can be arranged in connection areas between two adjacent car bodies. Preferably, the single-storey and double-decker carts are connected to each other via Jakobs bogies or two adjoining car bodies can each rest on Jakobs bogies. Due to the inventive, in particular similar embodiment of the interfaces between the car bodies and between car bodies and chassis any arrangement of a rail vehicle is possible despite the arranged at the car transitions, used by two car bodies chassis. In particular, double-decker and single-deck trolleys can be combined and exchanged as desired.

In order to reduce necessary constructive or structural changes in the composition of the vehicle, the at least one chassis connection, car transition connection, energy transmission connection and / or signal transmission connection of the single-deck trolley can be designed essentially identical to a corresponding connection of the double-decker trolley. If a connection of the single-deck trolley and the double-decker trolley for a chassis is identical, identical chassis, in particular configured as Jacobs bogies, can be used for single-deck trolleys, double-deck trolleys or for a combination of single and double-deck trolleys. In this case, mechanical, pneumatic and / or electrical connections of the car bodies for the chassis can be configured substantially identical.

The double-decker trolleys can have connections for trolley transitions, which correspond to connections for trolley transitions at the single-deck trolley boxes. Single-level and double-deck car bodies can thus be exchanged or added, the same or identical car transitions can be used. Equally, interfaces for energy transmission and / or for signal transmission between car bodies on single-deck carts can be configured substantially identically to corresponding interfaces on double-decker carts.

In order to minimize the adaptation effort when assembling a rail vehicle, the connection areas of the single-deck trolley and the double-deck trolley, in particular all the interfaces covered by the connection areas, can be configured substantially identically.

The modular system according to the invention preferably offers the possibility of providing at least one single-deck car body designed as a center car and / or a double-decker car body designed as a center car. If greater passenger capacity is required, the rail vehicle may be lengthened by adding double deck carts. If different entry heights or barrier-free access to the vehicle are required, this can be achieved by adding one or more single-deck trolleys.

To operate with the compiled from the modular system according to the invention different routes with different sized clearance profiles, cars with single-deck car boxes preferably have a smaller boundary line (according to UIC code, leaflets series 505 ) as a car with double-deck car boxes. In this way, when using single-deck trolleys alone, a vehicle with a smaller vehicle boundary line can be put together, which allows operation of the vehicle on routes with a smaller clearance profile. The single-deck wagons formed with single-deck trolleys can eg be the reference line G1 According to the Railway Construction and Works Order (EBO), while the double-decker cars formed with double-deck carts correspond to the reference line G2 can correspond.

According to an advantageous refinement, wagon transitions can be provided for connecting double-deck and / or single-deck wagon boxes, the outer boundary line of the wagon transition in the installed state, i. when used in a rail vehicle formed from the modular system, which may correspond to the boundary line of the single-deck car bodies. The outer wall of the carriage transition may e.g. be formed by a bellows, wherein the outer boundary line of the bellows during operation of the vehicle remains within the boundary line of the single-deck car bodies. This ensures that formed vehicles that comprise only single-deck carts can be operated in a smaller clearance profile or control clearance compared to vehicles with double-deck car bodies.

In a preferred embodiment of a modular system, a plurality of Central car be provided, at least one center car a double-decker car and another center car includes a single-floor car box to operate with a combination of different car bodies a wider range of different requirements can. Accordingly, a rail vehicle formed with the modular system can have both single-storey and double-deck center wagons.

According to another expedient variant of the modular system, all car bodies can be provided with independent ancillary equipment. In this way, otherwise required further interfaces between the cars are avoided and the auxiliary equipment does not need to be changed or dimensioned when putting together a new vehicle. For example, ancillaries that are needed during operation of the vehicle in each car, be provided in each car body. In a preferred embodiment of a double and / or single-deck car body, air conditioning systems can be provided in each car body or two air conditioning systems in each car body.

In a further preferred embodiment of the modular system, at least two double-deck trolleys and / or single-deck trolleys of different lengths can be provided. Thus, vehicles can be adjusted for higher passenger volumes to different platform lengths or clearance profiles. It can e.g. Trains can be formed from shorter car bodies to move the vehicle within a smaller control clearance space, or from longer car bodies to increase passenger capacity.

According to an advantageous development, the modular system may comprise at least two Endwagenkästen, each formed by single-deck car bodies. The Endwagenkästen can thus form single-storey end cars. Because the Endwagenkästen have only one floor, compared to double-decker car with the same length more weight can be placed in the end car, without exceeding the permissible axle loads. In particular, a majority of the equipment of the rail vehicle can be arranged in the end car.

In a preferred embodiment of the end cars, most or all of the drive equipment is received by the end car boxes. The drive equipment arranged in the end cars may in particular comprise a transformer and / or a rectifier and / or a DC link device and / or a traction inverter. For the provision of a battery powered vehicle, the end cars may also have energy storage, e.g. Accumulators, record. Compared to a distributed arrangement of the drive equipment, this results in a significantly lower cost in terms of assembly, wiring, cooling, sound and fire protection and maintenance. Furthermore, with the concentration of the drive equipment, a favorable mass distribution can be achieved, which allows maximizing the traction power transmitted to the rail.

Preferably, the modular system is designed such that in the formation of a train no train (Consist) and no common power supply of several cars (married pair) is formed. Rather, the individual cars should be able to be combined independently of one another to form a vehicle in order to best meet the inventive concept of a modular formation of a traction vehicle.

In a further preferred variant of the modular system, the drive equipment accommodated by the endcar bodies can be designed for two traction current systems in order to be able to operate the vehicle in different railway networks, e.g. in cross-border traffic.

In order to make the best possible use of the available space on the single store carts, in a further variant of the invention, a braking resistor can be received in each case by the end car bodies.

In preferred variants of the invention, one or both end cars may have one or two driven axles. The drive can thus be arranged in the area of the drive equipment in order to be able to transmit a correspondingly greater traction power with the resulting greater axle load. By assigning the drives to the end car boxes, the interfaces to the drive are concentrated in the end car, i. eliminates further interfaces to the adjacent car bodies and the modular composition of the rail vehicle is simplified.

The driven axles may be at the vehicle end, e.g. be arranged in a final bogie. Alternatively or additionally, in the connection area to the adjacent car body positioned chassis may have at least one driven wheelset or a driven axle in order to distribute the drive power better over the vehicle.

For even more far-reaching distribution of the drive power can be added to the Endwagenkästen each additional drive equipment, through which another, in particular adjacent to the end car middle car box arranged drive can be supplied with energy. The additional drive is preferably arranged at the connection areas of the end car and the subsequent center car, in particular in a Jakobs bogie on which the end car and the subsequent center car are stored together.

The two Endwagenkästen can be provided with a cab, the two driver's cabs can be equipped with substantially identical user interfaces (HMI). The display elements and controls may be substantially the same in all features. Furthermore, the arrangement of the display and / or operating elements can also be substantially identical. A vehicle driver can thus switch between all the vehicles of a vehicle fleet constructed from the modular system according to the invention without having to learn to operate other vehicles.

In a further preferred embodiment of the modular system, a current collector may be arranged on at least one, on at least two or on each endcar body. The pantograph may be associated with the drive equipment on the single-deck box to concentrate the components required for propulsion on the single-deck box and reduce the number of interfaces.

A railway vehicle according to the invention, which is formed from a modular system according to one of the above claims, may comprise double-decker and single-deck car bodies. For increased passenger capacity, at least two double-decker cars can be arranged one behind the other. The double-deck cars may have entrances.

The current collector of the rail vehicle may preferably be fastened to the connecting region of a wagon body adjacent to an adjacent wagon body. The rail vehicle may be equipped with at least one single-floor trolley and at least one double-decker trolley, wherein a current collector may be arranged on an adjacent to the double-decker box end of the single-deck trolley. In particular, when adjacent to a final car, a double-decker car, resulting in this arrangement of the pantograph aerodynamic advantages that lead to a more reliable contact force between the pantograph and catenary.

The end cars can be designed barrier-free and have, for example, a toilet cubicle and / or a parking space for wheelchair users. In order to enable barrier-free access even in the central area of a train formed by the modular system with double-decker cars, a single-deck car can be arranged between two double-decker carriages. According to a further preferred variant, the single-deck trolley can have entrances at different heights in order to service platform heights of different heights.
