Description

La présente invention concerne une caisse de voitures ferroviaires comportant, au niveau du pavillon, deux longerons reliés par des traverses, au niveau du plancher, deux longerons reliés, dans la partie centrale de la caisse, par un plancher, au niveau des flancs, de chaque côté des ouvertures de portes, un montant reliant un longeron de pavillon et un longeron de plancher.The present invention relates to a body of railway cars comprising, at the level of the roof, two beams connected by crosspieces, at floor level, two beams connected, in the central part of the body, by a floor, at the sides, of each side of the door openings, an upright connecting a roof rail and a floor rail.

On connaît, par le document EP-A-0 260 200, une telle caisse dans laquelle les faces sont constituées de panneaux composés chacun d'un réseau nid d'abeille entouré par des profilés d'encadrement.Document EP-A-0 260 200 discloses such a box in which the faces consist of panels each composed of a honeycomb network surrounded by framing profiles.

Ces profilés d'encadrement assurent, à eux seuls ou avec les montants installés de chaque côté des ouvertures de portes, la liaison entre les longerons de pavillon et de plancher. Mais qu'il y ait ou non des montants de portes, les panneaux nid d'abeille participent toujours à la structure travaillante. Les ouvertures pratiquées dans ces panneaux, comme les baies vitrées par exemple, doivent être obligatoirement limitées en surface.These framing profiles ensure, alone or with the uprights installed on each side of the door openings, the connection between the roof and floor rails. But whether or not there are door jambs, the honeycomb panels always participate in the working structure. The openings made in these panels, such as bay windows for example, must be limited to the surface.

La présente invention a pour but d'augmenter cette surface non travaillante, et ceci est obtenue par une suppression totale des panneaux nid d'abeille, la structure travaillante, au niveau des flancs, étant alors uniquement réalisée par des montants de section importante. La surface vitrée peut alors être totale entre deux montants de portes.The object of the present invention is to increase this non-working surface, and this is obtained by completely eliminating the honeycomb panels, the working structure, at the sidewalls, then being produced only by uprights of large section. The glass surface can then be total between two door jambs.

La caisse selon la présente invention est caractérisée en ce que chaque montant est constitué d'un profilé de grande section, ces profilés constituant à eux seuls la structure travaillante au niveau des flancs, les éléments de garnissage étant alors purement décoratifs.The box according to the present invention is characterized in that each upright consists of a large section profile, these profiles alone constituting the working structure at the sides, the trim elements then being purely decorative.

Il est décrit ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés, un exemple de réalisation de la caisse de voitures selon l'invention.It is described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the car body according to the invention.

La figure 1 montre la caisse en perspective.Figure 1 shows the box in perspective.

La figure 2 montre cette caisse en coupe transversale.Figure 2 shows this box in cross section.

La figure 3 montre deux détails de la figure 2, en vue agrandie.Figure 3 shows two details of Figure 2, in enlarged view.

La figure 4 montre un montant en coupe selon IV de la figure 2.FIG. 4 shows an upright in section along IV of FIG. 2.

Dans la figure 1, la partie centrale est référencée A et les parties d'extrémité de la caisse sont référencées B.In FIG. 1, the central part is referenced A and the end parts of the body are referenced B.

La partie centrale A, bien visible en figure 2, comporte deux longerons 10 au niveau du plancher, et deux longerons 20 au niveau du pavillon. Un longeron de plancher et un longeron de pavillon sont reliés entre eux par quatre montants verticaux 30. Les deux longerons de pavillon 20 sont reliés entre eux par des traverses 40. Les deux longerons de plancher sont reliés entre eux, à chaque extrémité de la partie centrale, par des profilés transversaux 11, un plancher 12 étant mis en place entre ces deux profilés transversaux 11 et les deux longerons 10. Ce plancher peut être, par exemple, constitué de panneaux d'aluminium.The central part A, clearly visible in FIG. 2, has two side members 10 at the floor level, and two side members 20 at the roof level. A floor spar and a roof spar are connected together by four vertical uprights 30. The two roof spars 20 are interconnected by crosspieces 40. The two floor spars are interconnected at each end of the part central, by transverse sections 11, a floor 12 being placed between these two transverse sections 11 and the two side members 10. This floor can be, for example, made of aluminum panels.

Les extrémités B sont constituées chacune d'une plateforme 60 située dans le prolongement du plancher. Une plateforme comporte un noeud de choc 61 et, de chaque côté, deux bossages 62 permettant la mise en place d'un bogie. Chaque extrémité comporte deux panneaux 63 reliés, au niveau du pavillon, par une traverse 64.
Ces deux panneaux sont séparés par un passage d'intercirculation. Les deux longerons de pavillon 20 courent tout le long de la caisse et ils prennent appui sur les montants verticaux 30 et, en extrémité, sur les panneaux 63.The ends B each consist of a platform 60 situated in the extension of the floor. A platform includes a shock node 61 and, on each side, two bosses 62 allowing the installation of a bogie. Each end comprises two panels 63 connected, at the level of the pavilion, by a crosspiece 64.
These two panels are separated by an intercirculation passage. The two roof rails 20 run all along the body and they bear on the vertical uprights 30 and, at the end, on the panels 63.

La structure travaillante de la caisse est donc constituée par les deux longerons de plancher 10, les deux plateformes 60, les deux longerons de pavillon 20, les traverses 40 et 64, les huit montants verticaux 30 et enfin les panneaux 63. Tous ces éléments sont soudés entre eux.The working structure of the body is therefore constituted by the two floor rails 10, the two platforms 60, the two roof rails 20, the cross members 40 and 64, the eight vertical uprights 30 and finally the panels 63. All of these elements are welded together.

Cette caisse ne comporte que quatre montants 30 par côté, deux de chaque côté d'une ouverture de porte. On peut donc installer trois panneaux d'habillage par côté, un entre les deux montants de portes de la partie centrale et un, dans chaque partie d'extrémité, entre un montant de porte 30 et un panneau 63. Les montants 30 sont placés en retrait par rapport au bord extérieur des longerons 10, de sorte que chaque panneau d'habillage s'étend devant un montant et masque celui-ci.This box has only four uprights 30 per side, two on each side of a door opening. It is therefore possible to install three covering panels per side, one between the two door uprights of the central part and one, in each end part, between a door upright 30 and a panel 63. The uprights 30 are placed in withdrawal from the outer edge of the side members 10, so that each covering panel extends in front of an upright and hide this one.

La figure 2 montre deux panneaux d'habillage 70. Ces panneaux d'habillage 70 peuvent être constitués, par exemple, d'une plaque de verre, car cette plaque ne participe pas à la structure travaillante.FIG. 2 shows two covering panels 70. These covering panels 70 can consist, for example, of a glass plate, since this plate does not participate in the working structure.

Chaque panneau d'habillage 70 est installé entre un caisson 50 solidaire d'un longeron de plancher 10, et un profilé 21 solidaire d'un longeron de pavillon 20. Un caisson 50 pourrait être constitué d'un seul profilé, mais de préférence, un caisson 50 est constitué de deux profilés 51, 52 soudés entre eux, comme le montre la figure 3.Each covering panel 70 is installed between a box 50 secured to a floor spar 10, and a profile 21 secured to a roof spar 20. A box 50 could consist of a single profile, but preferably, a box 50 is made up of two sections 51, 52 welded together, as shown in FIG. 3.

La figure 2 montre qu'une cale 80 est positionnée entre un montant 30 et un caisson 50. Pour modifier la largeur de la caisse, il suffit donc faire varier uniquement la forme de la structure non travaillante, en modifiant notamment l'épaisseur du panneau 50 et/ou la forme du galbe des panneaux d'habillage.FIG. 2 shows that a wedge 80 is positioned between an upright 30 and a box 50. To modify the width of the box, it suffices therefore to vary only the shape of the non-working structure, in particular by modifying the thickness of the panel 50 and / or the shape of the curve of the covering panels.

La figure 4 montre un mode de réalisation préférentiel d'un montant 30 qui est creux, en aluminium, et son inertie selon l'axe X est voisine de 3000 cm⁴ et selon l'axe Y voisine de 6500 cm⁴. Bien entendu, un montant peut être réalisé selon d'autres formes et dans d'autres matières.FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of an upright 30 which is hollow, made of aluminum, and its inertia along the X axis is close to 3000 cm⁴ and along the Y axis close to 6500 cm⁴. Of course, an amount can be made in other forms and in other materials.
