Abstract

The invention relates to a device to permit movement onto and over a ramp which is mounted on passenger vehicles, such as buses or trams. The said ramp is accommodated in a flat casing which is pivotably articulated, on its side opposite the extension side, in the lower floor region of the vehicle. The extension side of the casing is resiliently supported and the pivot region of the casing is limited with a stop. A limit switch which can be actuated during pivoting of the casing acts, by means of its control signal, on the control circuit provided for retraction and extension of the ramp.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Besteigen und Überrollen einer an Personenfahrzeugen wie Bussen oder Straßenbahnen angebrachten, aus dem Unterflurbereich ausfahrbaren und zum Boden neigbaren Rampe, sowie einer den Betrieb der Rampe beeinflußbaren Steuerschaltung.The invention relates to a device for climbing and rolling over one attached to passenger vehicles such as buses or trams the underfloor area extendable and tiltable ramp, as well as a control circuit influencing the operation of the ramp.

Vorrichtungen dieser Art werden seit einiger Zeit im öffentlichen Nahverkehr bei Bussen und/oder Straßenbahnen eingesetzt, um gehbehinderten Personen das Ein- und Aussteigen auch mit Rollstühlen zu erleichtern bzw. zu ermöglichen. Das Ein- und Ausfahren solcher Rampen wird dabei vom Führerstand des jeweiligen Fahrzeuges mit einer speziellen Steuerschaltung gesteuert.Devices of this type have been in public transport for some time used on buses and / or trams to help the disabled To facilitate and enable getting in and out with wheelchairs. The driving in and out of such ramps is carried out by the driver's cab Vehicle controlled with a special control circuit.

Der Betrieb solcher Rampen genügt nicht den im öffentlichen Nahverkehr geltenden Unfallverhütungsvorschriften, die ein automatisches Abschalten der Rampenein- oder -ausfahrt vorschreiben, wenn die Rampe durch eine Person betreten wird.The operation of such ramps is not sufficient for the local public transport Accident prevention regulations, which automatically switch off the Require ramp entry or exit if the ramp is by one person is entered.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung für eine eingangs genannte Rampe zu schaffen, die ein störungsfreies Besteigen und Überrollen erlaubt. Diese Aufgabe ist dadurch gelöst, daß die Rampe in einem flachen, gegenüber der Ausfahrseite schwenkbar angelenkten Gehäuse angeordnet ist und daß dem an der Ausfahrseite federnd abgestützten Gehäuse ein die Steuerschaltung beeinflußbarer Endschalter mit einem den Schwenkbereich begrenzender Anschlag zugeordnet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of a device for to create the ramp mentioned at the outset, which enables trouble-free climbing and Rollover allowed. This object is achieved in that the ramp in one flat, pivotally hinged housing arranged opposite the exit side is and that the resiliently supported on the exit side of the housing Control circuit influenceable limit switch with a swivel range limiting stop is assigned.

Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, die mit verriegelbaren Gestängen beidseitig an einen Antrieb zum Ein- und Ausfahren angekoppelte Rampe in der Ausfahrposition durch das Gestänge zur Erzielung der Flurfläche und Bodenneigung hochschwenkbar auszubilden und den Schwenkbereich des Gehäuses zur Vermeidung einer Stolperkante auf einen für das Auslösen des Endschalters hinreichend minimalen Schwenkhub einzustellen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich ohne großen Zusatzaufwand eine funktionssichere Rampe aufbauen.It is advisable to use the lockable linkage on both sides a drive coupled to extend and retract the ramp in the extended position can be swiveled up through the linkage to achieve the corridor area and slope  train and avoid the swivel range of the housing a tripping edge on one sufficient for triggering the limit switch set minimum swivel stroke. This way you can easily Additional effort to build a reliable ramp.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert, und zwar zeigtThe invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, and shows though

Fig. 1 eine Prinzipdarstellung einer an einem Autobus angebrachten Rampe und Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a ramp attached to a bus and

Fig. 2 einen Ausschnitt eines Autobusses in Schrägstellung mit einer ausgefahrenen und geneigten Rampe. Fig. 2 shows a section of a bus in an inclined position with an extended and inclined ramp.

Wie die Prinzipdarstellung nach Fig. 1 zeigt, ist eine in einem flachen Gehäuse 2 ein- und ausfahrbar untergebrachte Rampe 3 am Unterflurbereich eines Autobusses 1 vorgesehen. Das Gehäuse 2 ist dabei gegenüber der Ausfahrseite in Laschen 4 schwenkbar angelenkt, während dem an der Ausfahrseite mit einer Zugfeder 5 federnd abgestützten Gehäuse 2 ein den Schwenkbereich 7 begrenzender Anschlag 6 zugeordnet ist. Die Rampe 3 ist fast ausgefahren, und für das Ein- und Aussteigen ist ein bekannter Antrieb 8 eingesetzt.As the schematic diagram of FIG. 1 shows a one in a flat casing 2 and housed extendable ramp 3 is provided at the underfloor area of a bus 1. The housing 2 is pivotally hinged in relation to the extension side in tabs 4 , while a stop 6 limiting the pivoting range 7 is assigned to the housing 2 , which is spring-supported on the extension side with a tension spring 5 . The ramp 3 is almost extended, and a known drive 8 is used for getting in and out.

In der ausgefahrenen Position ist die mit einem verriegelbaren Gestänge 9 an den Antrieb 8 angekoppelte Rampe 3 zur Erzielung der Flurfläche hochschwenkbar, was durch einen Pfeil 10 angedeutet ist. Der Rampe 3 ist weiterhin ein ortsfester Endschalter 11 zugeordnet, welcher beim Betreten der Rampe 3 durch das Schwenken des Gehäuses 2 auslösbar ist. Der Schwenkbereich 7 ist durch Verstellen des Anschlages 6 einstellbar. Er wird zur Vermeidung einer Stolperkante an der Rampe 3 auf einen minimalen Wert, vorzugsweise 5 mm eingestellt. In the extended position, the ramp 3 , which is coupled to the drive 8 with a lockable linkage 9 , can be swiveled up to achieve the corridor area, which is indicated by an arrow 10 . The ramp 3 is also associated with a stationary limit switch 11 which is triggered when entering the ramp 3 by the pivoting of the housing. 2 The swivel range 7 can be adjusted by adjusting the stop 6 . To avoid a tripping edge on the ramp 3, it is set to a minimum value, preferably 5 mm.

Fig. 2 zeigt die ausgefahrene und zum Boden geneigte Rampe 3. Man kann erkennen, daß diese Rampe 3 leicht betreten und z. B. von einem Rollstuhl überrollt werden kann. Fig. 2 shows the extended ramp 3 inclined to the ground. One can see that this ramp 3 is easy to enter and z. B. can be overrun by a wheelchair.

Das Bedienen der Rampe 3 erfolgt vom Führerstand des Autobusses 1 mit einer hierfür vorgesehenen Steuerschaltung. Dieser ist das Schaltsignal des Endschalters 11 zugeleitet, wodurch Sicherheitsforderungen erfüllbar sind. Das Ein- und Ausfahren der Rampe 3 befiehlt also der Fahrzeugführer, wobei beim Erreichen der Ausfahrposition die Rampe 3 mit dem Gestänge 9 auf das Niveau der Fahrzeugfläche hochschwenkt. Das Betreten und Überrollen der Rampe 3 ist damit sichergestellt.The ramp 3 is operated from the driver's cab of the bus 1 using a control circuit provided for this purpose. The switching signal of the limit switch 11 is fed to this, whereby safety requirements can be met. The vehicle driver commands the entry and exit of the ramp 3 , the ramp 3 with the linkage 9 pivoting up to the level of the vehicle surface when the exit position is reached. This ensures that the ramp 3 is entered and rolled over.

Sollte der Fahrzeugführer das Einfahren der Rampe befehlen, obwohl diese belastet ist, dann ist dies aufgrund des vom ausgelösten Endschalter 11 der Steuerschaltung zugeführten Signals unterbunden. Fehlbedienungen bei belasteter Rampe 3 sind dadurch ausgeschlossen. Daher erfüllt die auch an Straßenbahnen anbringbare Rampe 3 wichtige Sicherheitsbestimmungen.If the driver commands the entry of the ramp even though it is loaded, this is prevented on the basis of the signal supplied to the control circuit by the triggered limit switch 11 . Incorrect operations with loaded ramp 3 are therefore excluded. The ramp 3 , which can also be attached to trams, therefore fulfills important safety regulations.
