Abstract

The tip of the nose (13) is moved into the interior of the rail vehicle, using a conventional linear drive (17). When the streamline nose is completely retracted the coupling unit located on the vehicle body or bogie is free and able to function.The nose has a window (14) for passage of the coupling unit (15) drawbar. The vehicle nose is sealed against oncoming air when in its advanced or retracted position (13A). The device is integrated in power consumption systems.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrzeugnase für aerodynamisch ausgebildete Schienenfahrzeuge, in der die Kupplungsvorricht­ ung angeordnet ist und hinter der entfernbaren Fahrzeugnase in Ruhestellung steht und am Fahrzeugrahmen oder Drehgestell befestigt ist.The invention relates to a vehicle nose for aerodynamic trained rail vehicles in which the coupling device is arranged and behind the removable vehicle nose is at rest and on the vehicle frame or bogie is attached.

Aus DE-OS 40 06 811 A1 ist bekannt, den Kuppelkopf an einer am Fahrzeug befestigten Kuppelstange anzuordnen. Die Kuppel­ stange besitzt ein Gelenk, um das der Kuppelkopf in horizon­ taler Ebene so verschwenkt werden kann, daß er hinter der Fahrzeugnase verschwindet, wobei gleichzeitig die Öffnung für den Durchtritt der Kupplungsvorrichtung mit einem Teil der Stoßtange geschlossen wird. Der Nachteil dieser bekannten Vorrichtung besteht darin, daß für den abgeschwenkten Teil der Zugstange ein größerer Platz benötigt wird. Außerdem ist das Gelenk in der Zugstange nachteilig.From DE-OS 40 06 811 A1 it is known that the coupling head on one to arrange the coupling rod attached to the vehicle. The dome rod has an articulation around which the dome head is in horizon Valley level can be pivoted so that it is behind the Vehicle nose disappears, at the same time opening for the passage of the coupling device with one part the bumper is closed. The disadvantage of this known Device is that for the pivoted part the drawbar requires a larger space. Besides, is the hinge in the drawbar disadvantageous.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Nachteil der bekannten Vorrichtung zu eliminieren und eine möglichst einfache Ausbildung der Fahrzeugnase mit Kupplungsvorrichtung zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object, the disadvantage to eliminate the known device and one if possible simple design of the vehicle nose with coupling device to accomplish.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, daß mit Hilfe an sich bekannter Linearantriebe die Spitze einer Fahrzeugnase eines Schienenfahrzeugs soweit in das Innere des Fahrzeugs verscho­ ben wird, bis die am Fahrzeug oder Drehgestell angeordnete Kupplungsvorrichtung offenliegt und funktionsgerecht arbeiten kann, wobei in der Fahrzeugnase ein Fenster zum Durchtritt der Kupplungsvorrichtung mit Zugstange vorgesehen ist.The solution to the problem is that with help itself known linear drives the tip of a vehicle nose Rail vehicle so far into the interior of the vehicle ben until the arranged on the vehicle or bogie Coupling device is exposed and working properly can, with a window in the vehicle nose for the passage of the Coupling device with pull rod is provided.

Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung einer Schienen­ fahrzeugnase besteht darin, daß die zurückgefahrene Fahrzeug­ nase völlig im Fahrzeug verschwinden kann, nicht die Aerody­ namik des Fahrzeugs stört und eine Abschirmung des hinter der Kupplung liegenden Raumes gegen anströmenden Fahrtwind ermöglicht.The advantage of the design of a rail according to the invention  Vehicle nose is that the retracted vehicle nose can completely disappear into the vehicle, not the aerody namik of the vehicle bothers and shields the rear the clutch lying space against incoming wind enables.

In den Zeichnungen ist eine beispielsweise Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dargestellt, und zwar zeigtIn the drawings is an example of training Device shown according to the invention, namely shows

Fig. 1 einen teilweisen Schnitt einer Fahrzeugnase in Draufsicht von oben, Fig. 1 is a partial section of a vehicle nose in plan view from above,

Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht der Fahrzeugnase nach Fig. 1. FIG. 2 shows a side view of the vehicle nose according to FIG. 1.

Nach den Fig. 1 und 2 ist die Fahrzeugaußenhaut 11 bis zur Trennlinie 12 nach vorn geführt, an der die Fahrzeugnase 13 angeordnet ist. Diese Fahrzeugnase 13 besitzt ein Fenster 14 in einer Größe, die die Kupplungsvorrichtung 15 nicht behindert und auch im gekuppelten Zustand die nötige Schwenk­ freiheit gibt. Die Kupplungsvorrichtung ist in bekannter Weise bei 16 am Fahrzeugrahmen oder Drehgestell angelenkt.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the vehicle outer skin 11 is guided to the dividing line 12 to the front, on which the vehicle nose 13 is arranged. This vehicle nose 13 has a window 14 in a size that does not hinder the coupling device 15 and gives the necessary pivoting freedom even in the coupled state. The coupling device is articulated at 16 on the vehicle frame or bogie.

Im Normalfall ist die Fahrzeugnase 13 in der in den Figuren gezeigten Stellung, wobei sich die Nase 13 an der Trennlinie 12 an die Außenhaut 11 des Fahrzeugs anlegt. In dieser Stellung bildet die Fahrzeugnase 13 eine Einheit mit der Fahrzeugaußenhaut 11, welche aerodynamisch gut ausgebildet ist. In dieser Stellung der Fahrzeugnase 13 wird das Fahrzeug als Triebwagen eingesetzt, in welcher Stellung die Kupplungs­ vorrichtung 15 nicht benötigt wird, welche deshalb im Innern des Fahrzeugs hinter der Fahrzeugnase liegt.In the normal case, the car's nose 13 in the embodiment shown in the figures, position, with the nose 13 applies the vehicle at the parting line 12 to the outer skin. 11 In this position, the vehicle nose 13 forms a unit with the vehicle outer skin 11 , which is aerodynamically well designed. In this position of the vehicle nose 13 , the vehicle is used as a railcar, in which position the coupling device 15 is not required, which is therefore located inside the vehicle behind the vehicle nose.

Soll das Fahrzeug aber als Mittelwagen benutzt werden, in welcher Stellung die Kupplungsvorrichtung 15 eine Verbindung mit anderen Fahrzeugen eines Zuges verkuppelt sein soll, so wird die Fahrzeugnase 13 mittels eines an sich bekannten Linearantriebs 18 zurückgefahren, bis sie in der in den Figuren gestrichelt dargestellten Stellung 13A steht und in dieser Stellung verriegelt wird. However, if the vehicle is to be used as a middle car, in which position the coupling device 15 a connection to other vehicles of a train is to be coupled, the vehicle nose 13 is retracted by means of a linear drive 18 known per se until it is in the position shown in dashed lines in the figures 13 A stands and is locked in this position.

In dieser Stellung der Fahrzeugnase 13 steht die Kupplungsvor­ richtung 15 so weit über die Fahrzeugbauteile vor, daß sie mit der Kupplungsvorrichtung des anzukuppelnden Fahrzeugs kuppeln kann und die bei Fahrten im vorgegebenen Einsatzgebiet auftretenden Relativbewegungen zwischen den Fahrzeugen ohne Fahrzeugberührung ausgleichen kann. Beim Rückwärtsfahren der Fahrzeugnase 13 wird über ein an sich bekanntes Gestänge das Fenster 14 in der Fahrzeugnase 13 geöffnet, wodurch sich die Kupplungsvorrichtung 15 außerhalb des Fahrzeugs 11 be­ findet. Dieses Fenster 14 schließt sich automatisch, wenn die Fahrzeugnase 13 sich wieder nach vorne bewegt und Nase 13 sowie das geschlossene Fenster 14 mit der Außenhaut 11 des Fahrzeugs eine Einheit bildet, welche einen geringen Luftwider­ stand besitzt.In this position of the vehicle nose 13 , the coupling device 15 is so far ahead of the vehicle components that it can couple with the coupling device of the vehicle to be coupled and can compensate for the relative movements between the vehicles that occur during journeys in the specified area of application without vehicle contact. When reversing the vehicle nose 13 , the window 14 in the vehicle nose 13 is opened via a linkage known per se, as a result of which the coupling device 15 is located outside the vehicle 11 . This window 14 closes automatically when the vehicle nose 13 moves forward again and nose 13 as well as the closed window 14 of the vehicle forms a unit with the outer skin 11, which was a low air opponent has.

Die Abstützung der verschiebbaren Nase 13 kann direkt am Fahr­ zeug oder aber über das Federwerk der Kupplung erfolgen. Bei entsprechender (steifer) Ausgestaltung der Nase, gegebenenfalls mit Pufferflächen, ist dann eine Einbeziehung der Nase 13 in ein am Fahrzeugende integriertes Aufstoßenergieverzehrsystem möglich.The support of the displaceable nose 13 can be done directly on the vehicle or via the spring mechanism of the clutch. With a corresponding (rigid) design of the nose, possibly with buffer surfaces, it is then possible to include the nose 13 in an belching energy consumption system integrated at the end of the vehicle.
