Abstract

The invention relates to an aid (2) for helping wheelchair users enter street vehicles, the aid comprising a ramp (1) which can be moved in and out and which, on the underside, is articulated on the vehicle floor in the area of the door. The guide and the displacement drive (10, 11) for the ramp (1) is surrounded by a casing (3) for protecting it from dirt, this casing having on the outside a horizontal, dirt-proof outlet slot (14) for allowing the plate-shaped ramp (1) to pass through. In addition, a heating device is arranged in the area of the outlet slot (14). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einstiegshilfe für Rollstuhl­fahrer an Straßenfahrzeugen, nach dem Oberbegriff des Pa­tentanspruches 1, wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE-GM 88 15 693.1 als bekannt hervorgeht.The invention relates to an entry aid for wheelchair users on road vehicles, according to the preamble of claim 1, as is known for example from DE-GM 88 15 693.1.

In der gattungsbildenden Schrift ist eine Einstiegshilfe für Rollstuhlfahrer an Straßenfahrzeugen mit einer ein- und ausfahrbaren Rampe vorgestellt. Die Rampe ist unter­seitig an dem Fahrzeugboden im Türbereich angehängt. Die Führung und der Vorschiebeantrieb der Rampe sind von einer Kapselung umgeben, die diese Teile vor Schmutz und mecha­nischen Beschädigungen schützt. Die Kapselung weist au­ßenseitig einen Ausfahrschlitz auf, der zum Durchlaß der plattenartigen Rampe vorgesehen ist. Der Ausfahrschlitz weist eine schmutzabweisende Bürste auf, mit der die Rampe beim Einfahren in die schützende Kapselung gereinigt wird. Im Winter können sich bei einer solchen Vorrichtung jedoch immer wieder Funktionsstörungen ergeben, da die Führung der Rampe u.U. vereist und beim Losreißen der Rampe Bau­teile beschädigt werden.The generic font introduces an entry aid for wheelchair users on road vehicles with a retractable and extendable ramp. The underside of the ramp is attached to the vehicle floor in the door area. The guide and the feed drive of the ramp are encapsulated, which protects these parts from dirt and mechanical damage. The encapsulation has an extension slot on the outside, which is provided for the passage of the plate-like ramp. The exit slot has a dirt-repellent brush, which is used to clean the ramp when entering the protective enclosure. In winter, however, malfunctions can always occur with such a device because the guidance the ramp may freeze over and components may be damaged when the ramp is torn away.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäß zu­grundegelegte Einstiegshilfe für Rollstuhlfahrer derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß deren Funktion auch im Winter si­chergestellt ist.The object of the invention is to further develop a generic entry aid for wheelchair users in such a way that their function is ensured even in winter.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Ansprüches 1 gelöst. Durch die Heizung des Ausfahrschlitzes weist dieser Temperaturen über dem Ge­frierpunkt auf, wodurch im Bereich des Ausfahrschlitzes keine Vereisungsgefahr mehr ist. Der Ausfahrschlitz er­füllt damit seine Aufgabe der Schmutz- und somit auch der Wasserabweisung und die Funktion der Einstiegshilfe ist gesichert. Sinnvolle Ausgestaltungen können den Unteran­sprüchen entnommen werden.The object is achieved according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1. As a result of the heating of the exit slot, the latter has temperatures above freezing point, so that there is no longer any risk of icing in the area of the exit slot. The extension slot thus fulfills its task of repelling dirt and thus water and the function of the access aid is ensured. Sensible configurations can be found in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden erläutert. Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt durch die Einstiegshilfe und
  • Fig. 2 einen waagerechten Querschnitt durch die Einstiegshilfe.
An embodiment is shown in the drawings and will be explained in the following. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the boarding aid and
  • Fig. 2 shows a horizontal cross section through the boarding aid.

Die in Fig. 1 abgebildete Einstiegshilfe 2 weist eine aus­gefahrene Rampe 1 auf, die mit ihrer einen Kante auf einer Gehwegoberfläche 8 angelegt ist. Die Rampe 1 ist durch ein horizontal bewegliches Scharnier 12 mit einer Platte 13 verbunden, die innerhalb einer Kapselung 3 zwangsgeführt ist. Die Platte 13 wird innerhalb der schmutzschützenden Kapselung 3 mittels des Verstellantriebes 11 bewegt, der seinerseits durch den Elektromotor 10 angetrieben wird. Soll die Rampe 1 eingezogen werden, wird also der Elektro­motor 10 betätigt, wobei die Platte 13 zurückbewegt und damit die Rampe 1 durch einen horizontalen Ausfahrschlitz 14, der außenseitig an der Kapselung 3 angeordnet, in die Kapselung 3 eingefahren und dabei gleichzeitig gereinigt wird. Insgesamt ist die Einstiegshilfe 2 fahrbahnseitig im Türbereich eines Fahrzeugbodens 4 angehängt. Zur Beheizung des Ausfahrschlitzes 14 ist ein Heizrohr 5 fahrbahnseitig und im Bereich des Ausfahrschlitzes 14 innerhalb der Kapse­lung 3 angeordnet. Das Heizrohr 5 ist mit dem Heizkreislauf des Fahrzeuges verbunden und wird durch seine Zufuhr 6 -­und Abfuhrleitung 9 von dessen Wärmeträgermedium durch­strömt. Im Bereich des Ausfahrschlitzes 14 ist das Heiz­rohr 5, zur besseren Beheizung, als Heizschlange ausge­bildet. Insgesamt wird eine gute Heizung der Kapselung 3 erreicht, da die fahrbahnseitigen Teile, an denen das Heiz­rohr 5 angeordnet ist, die schnell erkaltenden Teile dar­stellen. Im Bereich des Austritts des Heizrohres 5, der wegen der Böschungsfreiheit des Fahrzeuges sinnvoller Weise in Richtung zur Fahrzeugmitte hin liegt, kann zur Vergrößerung der Bodenfreiheit des Fahrzeuges eine Durch­setzung in die Kapselung 3 eingebracht sein. Dadurch kann das Heizrohr 5 außerhalb der Kapselung 3 mit einem großen Abstand zur Fahrbahnoberfläche 7 geführt werden. Um einen Schmutzeintritt durch diese Durchsetzung zu vermeiden, werden die Rohre fahrbahnseitig mit einer Abdeckung ver­sehen.The entry aid 2 shown in FIG. 1 has an extended ramp 1, which has one edge on one Walkway surface 8 is created. The ramp 1 is connected by a horizontally movable hinge 12 to a plate 13 which is positively guided within an encapsulation 3. The plate 13 is moved within the dirt-protecting encapsulation 3 by means of the adjustment drive 11, which in turn is driven by the electric motor 10. If the ramp 1 is to be drawn in, the electric motor 10 is actuated, the plate 13 being moved back and thus the ramp 1 being retracted into the encapsulation 3 through a horizontal extension slot 14 which is arranged on the outside of the encapsulation 3 and at the same time being cleaned. Overall, the access aid 2 is attached on the road side in the door area of a vehicle floor 4. To heat the extension slot 14, a heating tube 5 is arranged on the carriageway side and in the area of the extension slot 14 within the encapsulation 3. The heating tube 5 is connected to the heating circuit of the vehicle and its heat transfer medium flows through its supply line 6 and discharge line 9. In the area of the extension slot 14, the heating tube 5 is designed as a heating coil for better heating. Overall, a good heating of the encapsulation 3 is achieved, since the parts on the carriageway on which the heating pipe 5 is arranged represent the parts that cool quickly. In the area of the outlet of the heating tube 5, which lies in the direction towards the center of the vehicle because of the lack of slope of the vehicle, enforcement can be introduced into the encapsulation 3 to increase the ground clearance of the vehicle. This allows the heating tube 5 outside the encapsulation 3 with a large Distance to the road surface 7 are performed. In order to prevent dirt from entering through this penetration, the pipes are provided with a cover on the carriageway side.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Ausfahrschlitz 14 elektrisch zu beheizen, da die Heizung dann nicht auf den Heizkreislauf des Fahrzeuges zurückgreifen muß.Another possibility is to electrically heat the exit slot 14, since the heating then does not have to fall back on the heating circuit of the vehicle.
