A rail vehicle including a device providing easy access to the vehicle during station stops, the device comprising a ramp (30) designed to be received beneath the floor of the vehicle while the vehicle is running and to be rested on a platform (1) during a station stop, and a guide and drive mechanism for the ramp situated beneath the vehicle floor, the vehicle being characterized in that the device comprises a sill (20) articulated between two extreme positions, namely a horizontal position while the vehicle is running thus constituting a portion of the floor (12) of the vehicle, and a sloping position constituting together with a portion (32) of the ramp (30) which is likewise sloping a continuous ramp providing access to the vehicle.

Description

La présente invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire comportant un dispositif d'accès aisé à ce véhicule lors des arrêts en station, le dispositif comportant une rampe destinée à être logée sous le plancher du véhicule lors du roulage de celui-ci et à être posée en appui sur un quai lors d'un arrêt en station, et un mécanisme de guidage et d'entraînement de la rampe situé sous le plancher du véhicule.The present invention relates to a rail vehicle comprising a device for easy access to this vehicle during station stops, the device comprising a ramp intended to be housed under the floor of the vehicle when it is running and to be placed in abutment. on a platform during a station stop, and a ramp guidance and drive mechanism located under the vehicle floor.

Ce véhicule est surtout destiné aux personnes ayant des difficultés de marche, aux handicapés en fauteuil roulant, ou aux personnes utilisant des bagages à roulettes.This vehicle is mainly intended for people with walking difficulties, disabled people in wheelchairs, or people using rolling luggage.

On connaît, notamment par le document FR-A- 2 416 136, un tel véhicule comportant un dispositif d'accès constitué de deux rampes logées sous le plancher. Par un mouvement de sortie horizontal, ces deux rampes sont posées sur le quai, puis par un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe situé au niveau du quai, une seule rampe est amenée au niveau du seuil du véhicule. Ces deux rampes rendent le dispositif lourd et encombrant et exigent la mise en place d'une articulation extérieure, au niveau du quai, qui est dangereuse pour les voyageurs.We know, in particular from document FR-A-2 416 136, such a vehicle comprising an access device consisting of two ramps housed under the floor. By a horizontal exit movement, these two ramps are placed on the quay, then by a rotational movement around an axis located at the quay, a single ramp is brought to the threshold of the vehicle. These two ramps make the device heavy and bulky and require the installation of an external articulation, at the platform, which is dangerous for travelers.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif léger qui utilise une seule rampe permettant une liaison en pente douce entre le plancher d'un véhicule et un quai, quelles que soient la distance et la différence de niveau entre le véhicule et le quai.The object of the invention is to propose a light device which uses a single ramp allowing a gentle slope connection between the floor of a vehicle and a platform, whatever the distance and the difference in level between the vehicle and the platform .

Le véhicule selon la présente invention est caractérisé en ce que le dispositif comporte un seuil articulé entre deux positions extrêmes, une position horizontale lors du roulage du véhicule constituant ainsi une partie du plancher de ce véhicule, et une position inclinée constituant avec une partie de la rampe elle même inclinée, une rampe continue permettant l'accès au véhicule.The vehicle according to the present invention is characterized in that the device comprises a threshold articulated between two extreme positions, a horizontal position when the vehicle is running, thus constituting a part of the floor of this vehicle, and an inclined position constituting with part of the ramp itself inclined, a continuous ramp allowing access to the vehicle.

La partie de la rampe, située côté mécanisme de guidage et d'entraînement, est guidée et entrainée horizontalement dans une glissière, et la rampe est en appui constant sur des galets montés sur un bras articulé, ces galets supportant le seuil en position horizontale et la rotation du bras provoquant l'inclinaison du seuil et de la rampe.The part of the ramp, located on the guide and drive mechanism side, is guided and driven horizontally in a slide, and the ramp is in constant support on rollers mounted on an articulated arm, these rollers supporting the threshold in horizontal position and the rotation of the arm causing the inclination of the threshold and the ramp.

Un volet de protection masque totalement le seuil, la rampe et le mécanisme de guidage et d'entrainement, lors du roulage du véhicule.A protective shutter completely masks the threshold, the ramp and the guidance and drive mechanism, when the vehicle is running.

En outre, lorsque la rampe est sortie, elle conserve la possibilité d'osciller par rapport à la caisse du véhicule, ce qui permet de ne pas blesser les voyageurs dont les pieds seraient en bordure du quai, et ce qui permet aussi à la caisse de s'abaisser sous l'effet de la montée des voyageurs sans nuire au mécanisme de guidage et d'entraînement. De plus, ce dispositif d'accès est réversible, ce qui permet, en cas de panne, de rentrer la rampe à la main, après isolement électrique du moteur.In addition, when the ramp is out, it retains the possibility of oscillating relative to the vehicle body, which allows not to injure travelers whose feet are at the edge of the platform, and which also allows the body to lower under the effect of the rise of travelers without harming the guide and drive mechanism. In addition, this access device is reversible, which allows, in the event of a breakdown, to retract the ramp by hand, after electrical isolation of the engine.

Il est décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple et en référence aux dessins annexés, un véhicule selon l'invention.A vehicle according to the invention is described below, by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Les figures 1 à 4 montrent respectivement la position escamotée du dispositif d'accès sous le véhicule, deux positions intermédiaires et enfin sa position dépliée, en appui sur le quai.Figures 1 to 4 respectively show the retracted position of the access device under the vehicle, two intermediate positions and finally its unfolded position, bearing on the platform.

La figure 5 montre en vue de dessous, les moyens d'entraînement permettant le déplacement du dispositif d'accès.Figure 5 shows a bottom view, the drive means for moving the access device.

Dans la figure 1, il est représenté un quai 1, un véhicule 10 comportant une porte fermée 11, un plancher 12 sous lequel est logé le dispositif d'accès. Ce dispositif d'accès comporte un seuil 20, une rampe 30, un mécanisme de guidage et d'entraînement 40, un bras articulé 50 pour le guidage de l'extrémité de la palette, un volet 60 de protection.In Figure 1, there is shown a platform 1, a vehicle 10 having a closed door 11, a floor 12 under which is housed the access device. This access device comprises a threshold 20, a ramp 30, a guiding and driving mechanism 40, an articulated arm 50 for guiding the end of the pallet, a protective flap 60.

Le seuil 20, qui forme une partie de la rampe d'accès et qui constitue également une partie du plancher 12 du véhicule, est articulé autour d'un axe 21 situé au niveau du plancher 12. Ce seuil est muni d'une semelle 22 comportant une rampe 23.The threshold 20, which forms a part of the access ramp and which also constitutes a part of the floor 12 of the vehicle, is articulated around an axis 21 located at the level of the floor 12. This threshold is provided with a sole 22 having a ramp 23.

La rampe 30 est composée de deux parties distinctes 31, 32, une partie de guidage et d'entraînement 31 et une partie fonctionnelle 32 formant l'autre partie de la rampe d'accès. Du côté de la partie 31, la rampe 30 comporte deux galets 33 (un seul étant représenté), qui roulent chacun dans une glissière 41 du mécanisme 40, une pièce 38, sensiblement en forme de U, qui reçoit une rotule 42 du mécanisme 40, et deux basculeurs 34 articulés autour d'un axe 35 et comportant chacun un galet 36 et deux crochets 37, ces basculeurs étanttoujours ramenés dans cette position par des ressorts non représentés.The ramp 30 is composed of two separate parts 31, 32, a guide and drive part 31 and a functional part 32 forming the other part of the access ramp. On the side of part 31, the ramp 30 comprises two rollers 33 (only one being shown), which each roll in a slide 41 of the mechanism 40, a part 38, substantially U-shaped, which receives a ball joint 42 of the mechanism 40 , and two rockers 34 articulated around an axis 35 and each comprising a roller 36 and two hooks 37, these rockers being always brought back to this position by springs not shown.

Le mécanisme 40 comporte, environ à l'extrémité des glissières 41, côté quai, une rampe 41A située sur le passage du galet 36 du basculeur 34. La rotule 42 du mécanisme 40 est entraînée par une biellette 43 tournant autour d'un axe 44. Ce mécanisme comporte en fait deux rotules 42, deux pièces en U 38, deux biellettes 43 raccordées par une bielle 45 et entraînées par un motoréducteur 47 et une vis à bille 48.The mechanism 40 comprises, approximately at the end of the slides 41, on the quay side, a ramp 41A situated on the passage of the roller 36 of the rocker 34. The ball 42 of the mechanism 40 is driven by a rod 43 rotating about an axis 44 This mechanism in fact comprises two ball joints 42, two U-shaped parts 38, two connecting rods 43 connected by a connecting rod 45 and driven by a geared motor 47 and a ball screw 48.

Le bras 50, articulé autour d'un axe 51, reçoit à son extrémité, six galets 52 (un seul étant représenté) qui servent d'appui pour l'extrémité de la partie 32 de la rampe.The arm 50, articulated around an axis 51, receives at its end, six rollers 52 (only one being shown) which serve as support for the end of the part 32 of the ramp.

Le volet 60, articulé également autour de l'axe 51, comporte un bras 61 sur lequel est soudé un profilé 62 et à l'extrémité duquel sont montés deux galets 63, un seul de ces galets étant représenté. Un garnissage 64 recouvre le volet 60 et prolonge le profil légèrement arrondi de la porte 11.The flap 60, also articulated around the axis 51, comprises an arm 61 on which a profile 62 is welded and at the end of which two rollers 63 are mounted, only one of these rollers being shown. A lining 64 covers the flap 60 and extends the slightly rounded profile of the door 11.

Dans cette position de la rampe 30, les deux galets 63 sont logés chacun dans une échancrure de la rampe 30, ces échancrures étant mieux visibles en figure 5.In this position of the ramp 30, the two rollers 63 are each housed in a notch in the ramp 30, these notches being better visible in FIG. 5.

La figure 2 montre une position intermédiaire dans laquelle la porte 11 est ouverte et la rampe 30 est partiellement sortie. Les deux galets 36 des basculeurs 34 sont en appui chacun sur une rampe 41A pour engager les crochets 37 sur l'axe des galets 52. Le volet 60 a déjà été incliné par la sortie de la rampe 30 et les galets 63 roulent sous cette rampe 30.Figure 2 shows an intermediate position in which the door 11 is open and the ramp 30 is partially extended. The two rollers 36 of the rockers 34 are each supported on a ramp 41A to engage the hooks 37 on the axis of the rollers 52. The flap 60 has already been inclined by the outlet of the ramp 30 and the rollers 63 roll under this ramp 30.

La figure 3 montre une autre position intermédiaire dans laquelle les crochets 37 des basculeurs 34 sont engagés sur les axes des galets 52 et provoquent ainsi la rotation du bras 50. La rotation de ce bras 50 va provoquer un basculement de la rampe 30 mais aussi un basculement du seuil 20 car sa semelle 22 est en appui sur les galets 52 du bras 50.Figure 3 shows another intermediate position diaire in which the hooks 37 of the rockers 34 are engaged on the axes of the rollers 52 and thus cause the rotation of the arm 50. The rotation of this arm 50 will cause a tilting of the ramp 30 but also a tilting of the threshold 20 because its sole 22 is supported on the rollers 52 of the arm 50.

La figure 4 montre la position dépliée dans laquelle la rampe 30 est en appui sur le quai et le seuil 20 est en appui sur la rampe environ au point de jonction des deux parties 31, 32 de la rampe 30. Ce seuil 20 et la partie 32 de la rampe 30 constituent donc une rampe d'accès complète. Le bras 50 est en appui sur une butée 53.FIG. 4 shows the unfolded position in which the ramp 30 is in abutment on the platform and the threshold 20 is in abutment on the ramp approximately at the point of junction of the two parts 31, 32 of the ramp 30. This threshold 20 and the part 32 of the ramp 30 therefore constitute a complete access ramp. The arm 50 is supported on a stop 53.

La figure 5 représente en vue de dessous montrant le mécanisme d'entraînement de la palette. Ce mécanisme est constitué par un motoréducteur 47 articulé autour d'un axe 46, une vis à billes 48 transmettant un mouvement linéaire à une biellette 43 et par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle d'accouplement 45 à une autre biellette 43.Figure 5 shows a bottom view showing the drive mechanism of the pallet. This mechanism consists of a geared motor 47 articulated around an axis 46, a ball screw 48 transmitting a linear movement to a link 43 and by means of a coupling rod 45 to another link 43.

Les extrémités des biellettes 43 sont munies de rotules 42 qui s'engagent dans les pièces en forme de U 38, ces pièces 38 étant solidaires de la rampe 30.The ends of the rods 43 are provided with ball joints 42 which engage in the U-shaped parts 38, these parts 38 being integral with the ramp 30.

Les rotules 42 entraînent donc la rampe 30 en translation, et cette figure 5 montre les deux positions extrêmes de la rampe 30, en traits forts la position escamotée correspondant à la figure 1, et en traits interrompus la position dépliée correspondant à la figure 4.The ball joints 42 therefore drive the ramp 30 in translation, and this FIG. 5 shows the two extreme positions of the ramp 30, in strong lines the retracted position corresponding to FIG. 1, and in broken lines the unfolded position corresponding to FIG. 4.

Dans cette figure 5, on voit également les échancrures 32A de la rampe 30 permettant, en position escamotée, le logement des galets 63 du volet 60.In this FIG. 5, we also see the notches 32A of the ramp 30 allowing, in the retracted position, the housing of the rollers 63 of the flap 60.

Un tel dispositif fonctionne de la manière suivante: Dès l'arrêt du véhicule en station, la porte 11 s'ouvre, le motoréducteur 47 est mis en marche et pousse, par l'intermédiaire de la vis à bille et des biellettes, la rampe 30 vers l'extérieur du véhicule. La rampe 30 se déplace alors horizontalement et le seuil 20 reste horizontal jusqu'à l'accrochage du bras 50 (fig. 3). La course du mécanisme d'entraînement 40 continue et la rotation du bras 50 provoque également la rotation de la rampe 30 et du seuil 20. La rampe ainsi formée vient en appui sur le quai.Such a device operates in the following manner: As soon as the vehicle stops in the station, the door 11 opens, the geared motor 47 is started and pushes, by means of the ball screw and the rods, the ramp 30 towards the outside of the vehicle. The ramp 30 then moves horizontally and the threshold 20 remains horizontal until the arm 50 is hooked (fig. 3). The stroke of the drive mechanism 40 continues and the rotation of the arm 50 also causes the ramp 30 and the threshold 20 to rotate. The ramp thus formed comes to bear on the platform.

Avant le redémarrage du véhicule, on inverse la rotation du moteur-réducteur 47 et on provoque ainsi l'escamotage de la rampe 30 sous le véhicule, puis on referme la porte 11.Before restarting the vehicle, the rotation of the gear motor 47 is reversed and the ramp 30 is retracted under the vehicle, then the door 11 is closed.
