Description

Die Erfindung betrifft zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Fahrzeuge bzw. Fahrzeugteile, insbesondere miteinander verbundene Triebwagen mit einem Übergang, wobei der Übergang unter Bildung zweier miteinander kuppelbarer Übergangshälften teilbar ist, wobei hierbei jede einen Balg und eine Brücke umfassende Übergangshälfte durch ein im Fahrzeug bzw. Fahrzeugteil stirnseitig angeordnetes Gehäuse aufnehmbar ist, wobei das Gehäuse verschließbar ist, wobei der Balg der Übergangshälfte einen Tragrahmen aufweist, der im Gehäuse verschieblich gelagert ist. The invention relates to two articulated vehicles or vehicle parts, especially interconnected railcars a transition, the transition forming two together detachable transition halves is divisible, each with a bellows and a transition half comprising a bridge by means of a Vehicle part frontally arranged housing is receivable, which Housing is closable, the bellows of the transition half Has support frame which is slidably mounted in the housing.

Triebwagenzüge sind bekannt; sie werden überwiegend im Nahbereichsverkehr eingesetzt und bestehen üblicherweise aus zwei Triebwagen und einem Mittelwagen. Bei hohem Fahrgastaufkommen kann es erforderlich sein, zwei derartige Züge miteinander zu kuppeln. Hierzu ist entweder bereits ein Übergang an der Stirnseite des Triebwagens vorgesehen, oder er wird nachträglich angebaut. Die Bedienkonsole für den Triebwagen ist häufig seitlich zur stirnseitigen Öffnung des Triebwagens angeordnet.Railcar trains are known; they are mainly used in Local traffic is used and usually consists of two Railcars and an intermediate car. With high passenger volume can it may be necessary to couple two such trains together. This is either a transition at the front of the railcar provided, or it is retrofitted. The control console for the The railcar is often to the side of the front opening of the railcar arranged.

Aus der EP 608 455 ist allerdings ebenfalls bekannt, sowohl die Bedienkonsole als auch den Übergang in die stirnseitige Öffnung des Triebwagens wahlweise einzuschwenken.However, EP 608 455 also discloses both Control console and the transition into the front opening of the Rail car optionally swiveled in.

Aus der DE-A 11 08 253 ist ein Waggon mit stirnseitig angeordneter verschließbarer Türöffnung bekannt, wobei zu einer Seite der Türöffnung ein Türelement mit einem flexiblen Übergang vorgesehen ist, wobei der flexible Übergang einen Faltenbalg mit einer Übergangsbrücke umfaßt. Ein derartiger Waggon ist jedoch nicht geeignet, als Triebwagen eingesetzt zu werden, da die hierzu erforderliche Bedienkonsole fehlt.DE-A 11 08 253 describes a wagon with a front end closable door opening known, to one side of the door opening a door element with a flexible transition is provided, the flexible transition includes a bellows with a transition bridge. On such wagon is not suitable to be used as a railcar because the required control console is missing.

Die bekannte EP-A 167 766 zeigt ein Schienenfahrzeug, bei dem die Bedienkonsole in die stirnseitig angeordnete Öffnung einschwenkbar ist, jedoch bei seitlicher Stellung der Bedienkonsole in die nunmehr freie Türöffnung ein kompletter Übergang eingeschoben wird, der im nichtbenötigten Zustand im Wageninneren gelagert ist. Nachteilig hierbei ist, daß durch die Lagerung des kompletten Überganges im Wageninneren relativ viel Raum benötigt wird, der dann naturgemäß nicht mehr für den Transport von Personen zur Verfügung steht.The known EP-A 167 766 shows a rail vehicle in which the Control console can be swung into the opening on the front, however, with the control console in the side position in the now free position A complete transition is inserted into the door opening unused condition is stored inside the car. The disadvantage here is that by storing the entire transition inside the car relatively much space is required, which is then naturally no longer for the Transport of people is available.

Die EP-A 0 504 458 zeigt einen Übergang zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen umfassend einen Balg und einen am Balg angeordneten Kuppelrahmen. Des weiteren ist eine Übergangsbrücke vorgesehen, die um eine horizontale Achse gelenkig an einer Verfahrvorrichtung angeordnet ist.EP-A 0 504 458 shows a transition between two vehicles comprising a bellows and a dome frame arranged on the bellows. Of further a transition bridge is provided, which is around a horizontal Axis is articulated on a travel device.

Bei einer weiterhin bekannten Übergangseinrichtung gemäß der DE-A 1 220 463 ist bekannt, den Faltenbalg des Überganges bei Nichtgebrauch ebenfalls im Inneren des Fahrzeugs zu verstauen, wobei jedoch der Ort der Aufbewahrung auch wahlweise durch die Frontverkleidung, d. h. die Tür zum Verschließen der Wagenöffnung eingenommen werden kann, um auf diese Weise Raum zu sparen. Gleichwohl gilt aber auch bei dieser Übergangseinrichtung, daß im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs Platz verloren geht, der ansonsten für die Beförderung von Passagieren zur Verfügung stünde.In a further known transition device according to DE-A 1 220 463 is known, the bellows of the transition when not in use also stowed inside the vehicle, but the location of the Storage optionally also through the front panel, d. H. the door to close the car opening can be taken to this way saving space. Nevertheless, this also applies to this Transition device that space is lost in the interior of the vehicle, which would otherwise be available for the transportation of passengers.

Aus der US-A 3,486,464 ist ein in einem Gehäuse gelagerter Übergang bekannt, bei dem die Brücke des Übergangs mit dem Balg verschoben wird. Durch diese Konstruktion wird wiederum viel Raum für die Lagerung des Überganges im Fahrzeug benötigt.From US-A 3,486,464 is a transition mounted in a housing known, in which the bridge of the transition with the bellows is moved. This construction in turn leaves a lot of space for storing the Transition required in the vehicle.

Aus der US-A 846 740 ist eine Verbindung zwischen zwei miteinander kuppelbaren Lokomotiven durch einen Übergang bekannt. Die Übergangsbrücke des aus Balg und Brücke bestehenden Überganges wird hierbei durch ein Übergangsblech gebildet. Im Einzelnen ist hierbei vorgesehen, daß im nichtbenötigen Zustand des Überganges die einzelnen Übergangshälften in einem in der Stirnseite des Zuges angeordneten Gehäuse lagern, wobei die Gehäuseöffnung durch seitlich verschwenkbare Türelemente verschließbar ist. Der Balg der Übergangshälfte ist hierbei an der Rückwand des Gehäuses der Lokomotive angeordnet, so daß beim Auseinanderfahren des Balges der Balg immer noch die Tiefe des Gehäuses überbrücken muß, bevor er tatsächlich aus dem Fahrzeug herausgelangt, um dann mit dem Balg der anderen Übergangshälfte gekuppelt zu werden. Das heißt, daß aufgrund der Tiefe des Gehäuses der Balg relativ länger sein muß, um eben die Tiefe des Gehäuses zu überspannen, als dies an sich notwendig ist, wenn man davon ausgeht, daß der Balg an sich nur den lichten Raum zwischen zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeugen bzw. Fahrzeugteilen überspannen soll.From US-A 846 740 there is a connection between two detachable locomotives known by a transition. The Transition bridge of the transition consisting of bellows and bridge here formed by a transition plate. In detail here is provided that the individual in the unnecessary state of the transition Transition halves arranged in one in the front of the train Store the housing, the housing opening being pivoted laterally Door elements can be locked. The bellows of the transition half is on the rear wall of the housing of the locomotive arranged so that when Spread the bellows the bellows still the depth of the housing bridge before it actually gets out of the vehicle, to be coupled with the bellows of the other half of the transition. This means that due to the depth of the housing, the bellows will be relatively longer must, in order to span the depth of the housing, than this in itself is necessary if one assumes that the bellows per se only clear space between two articulated vehicles or vehicle parts.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Übergang der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu entwickeln, daß der Balg nur die absolut notwendige Länge zum Überbrücken des lichten Raumes zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen bzw. Fahrzeugteilen aufweist.The invention is therefore based on the object of a transition type mentioned at the beginning to develop such that the bellows only the absolutely necessary length to bridge the clear space between has two vehicles or vehicle parts.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Brücke unabhängig von dem verschiebbaren Tragrahmen befestigt, um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse in des Gehäuse einklappbar ist. Durch die Verschiebung des Tragrahmens und damit des Balges an den stirnseiten Rand des Gehäuses wird erreicht, daß der Balg nur genauso lang wie der Abstand bzw. der halbe Abstand zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen sein muß. Aufgrund des kürzeren Balges kann der Übergang preiswerter hergestellt werden.The object is achieved in that the bridge attached independently of the sliding support frame, can be folded into the housing about a horizontal axis. By moving the support frame and thus the bellows to the front edge of the housing is achieved that the bellows is only as long like the distance or half the distance between two vehicles got to. Due to the shorter bellows, the transition can be cheaper getting produced.

Die Kontur des Tragrahmens entspricht der Kontur des Balges, d.h. der Tragrahmen weist die Form eines geschlossenen Rechtecksprofils mit.The contour of the support frame corresponds to the contour of the bellows, i.e. the The support frame has the shape of a closed rectangular profile.

Nach einem vorteilhaften Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Tragrahmen Rollen aufweist, um eine leichte Verschiebung des Balges der Übergangshälfte im Gehäuse; das heißt, auf dem Boden des Gehäuses, zu ermöglichen.According to an advantageous feature of the invention it is provided that the Carrier frame has rollers to slightly shift the bellows Transition half in the housing; that is, on the bottom of the case, too enable.

Um weiterhin sicherzustellen, daß im ausgefahrenen Zustand des Tragrahmens, d. h. in dem Zustand, in dem der Tragrahmen sich unmittelbar an der Gehäuseöffnung befindet, der Tragrahmen in dieser Stellung verbleibt, sind Stützmittel vorgesehen, durch die der Tragrahmen gegenüber dem Gehäuse abstützbar gelagert ist. Im Einzelnen kann ein solches Stützmittel als Gelenkhebel oder auch als Kolben-Zylinderantrieb ausgebildet sein.To further ensure that when the Support frame, d. H. in the state in which the support frame is the support frame is located directly at the housing opening Position remains, support means are provided through which the support frame is supported against the housing. In particular, one such support means as an articulated lever or as a piston-cylinder drive be trained.

Nach einem weiteren besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung ist das Gehäuse durch den Tragrahmen im ausgefahrenen Zustand der Übergangshälfte bzw. des Balges abdichtbar. Hierdurch wird verhindert, daß im gekuppelten Zustand zweier Fahrzeuge Verunreinigungen in das den Balg aufnehmende Gehäuse eintreten können. Wird der Übergang bzw. die Übergangshälfte des Triebwagens nicht benötigt, dann kann naturgemäß kein Schmutz in das Gehäuse eindringen, da dann das Gehäuse insbesondere durch Türen verschließbar ist. Um im einzelnen eine Abdichtung des Gehäuses zu ermöglichen, weist der Tragrahmen eine umlaufende Leiste auf, die im ausgefahrenen Zustand der Übergangshälfte mit einer am Gehäuse korrespondierend zu der Leiste des Tragrahmens angeordneten umlaufenden Leiste abdichtend zusammenwirkt, wobei vorteilhaft zwischen den Leisten eine Dichtung angeordnet ist.According to another special feature of the invention is the housing through the support frame in the extended state of the transition half or of the bellows sealable. This prevents the coupled Condition of two vehicles soiling in the bellows receiving Housing can enter. If the transition or the transition half of the railcar is not required, then naturally no dirt can get in penetrate the housing, since then the housing in particular through doors is lockable. In order to seal the housing in detail enable, the support frame has a circumferential bar, which in extended state of the transition half with one on the housing arranged corresponding to the bar of the support frame circumferential strip cooperates sealingly, advantageously between a seal is arranged on the strips.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß der Balg der Übergangshälfte einen Kuppelrahmen zur Kupplung mit dem Balg der anderen Übergangshälfte aufweist. Zum Verstauen der Gliederbrücke besitzt die Gliederbrücke eine horizontal verlaufende Achse um die die Gliederbrücke auch oben in das Gehäuse einklappbar ist.It is also provided that the bellows of the transition half Dome frame for coupling with the bellows of the other transition half having. To store the link bridge, the link bridge has one horizontal axis around which the link bridge also in the top Housing is collapsible.

Das Gehäuse 50 stellt sich als kammerartige, entsprechend der Kontur des Balges, ausgebildete Ausnehmung in der Stirnseite des Fahrzeuges dar. Um ein Verkanten des Tragrahmens 40 im Gehäuse 50 zu vermeiden, besitzt der Tragrahmen 40 auch an seinem oberen Ende weitere Rollen 42. Im ausgefahrenen Zustand des Tragrahmens 40 wird dieser durch den Gelenkhebel 43 gegenüber dem Gehäuse 50 abgestützt. Insbesondere sind vier solche Gelenkhebel 43 vorgesehen, die sich umfangsverteilt am Tragrahmen 40 anordnen. Zur Abdeckung des Abstandes zwischen Tragrahmen 40 und Gehäuserückwand 51 ist im Seitenwandbereich eine sich ähnlich einem Faltenbalg zusammenschiebende Abdeckung 70 vorgesehen. Verschließbar ist das Gehäuse durch die beiden Türflügel 110 (Fig. 7). According to FIGS. 1 to 4, the one designated as a whole shows 1 Transitional half of the bellows 10 and the end face arranged on the bellows Dome frame 20. The transition half 1 also has the Link bridge 30. The bellows 10 is on the support frame designated 40 articulated, the in the total designated 50 housing on rollers 41st is slidably mounted. The support frame corresponds to Outer contour of the bellows, d. H. essentially rectangular trained (Fig. 7). The housing 50 presents itself as a chamber-like, according to the contour of the bellows, recess formed in the Front side of the vehicle. To tilt the support frame 40 in To avoid housing 50, the support frame 40 also has on his upper end further roles 42. In the extended state of the Support frame 40 is this by the articulated lever 43 against the Supported housing 50. In particular, there are four such articulated levers 43 provided, which are arranged circumferentially distributed on the support frame 40. to Covering the distance between the support frame 40 and The rear wall of the housing 51 is similar to one in the side wall area Bellows collapsing cover 70 is provided. lockable is the housing through the two door panels 110 (Fig. 7).

Wie bereits an anderer Stelle ausgeführt, ist der Tragrahmen 40 durch Rollen 41, 42 im Gehäuse 50 gelagert. Hierbei lagern die Rollen 41 auf dem Boden 55 des Gehäuses 50, hingegen die Rollen 42 an der Decke 56 des Gehäuses 50. Der Gehäuseboden 55 ist durch eine Zwischendecke 58 abgedeckt, auf der die Gliederbrücke 30 um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse 31 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Diese horizontal verlaufende Achse ist Bestandteil einer insgesamt mit 33 bezeichneten Lagerung, umfassend einen im Wesentlichen L-förmigen Winkel 34, der sich quer zur Längsachse des Fahrzeuges über den Zwischenboden 58 erstreckt und einen davon aufgenommenen Lagerbock 35, der schlußendlich der Aufnahme der horizontal verlaufenden Achse 31 dient.As stated elsewhere, the support frame 40 is by rolling 41, 42 stored in the housing 50. Here, the rollers 41 rest on the floor 55 of the housing 50, however, the rollers 42 on the ceiling 56 of the Housing 50. The housing base 55 is through a false ceiling 58 covered, on which the link bridge 30 around a horizontal Axis 31 is pivotally mounted. This horizontal axis is part of a storage designated as 33, comprising a substantially L-shaped angle 34 that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle extends over the intermediate floor 58 and one of them recorded bearing block 35, which is ultimately the inclusion of the horizontal axis 31 is used.

Die Gliederbrücke 30 (Fig. 5) besteht aus abwechselnd angeordneten Gleitund Trittgliedern 37, 38, die teleskopartig ineinander gelagert sind, damit eine solche Gliederbrücke in der Lage ist, den entsprechenden Fahrbewegungen, insbesondere bei Kurvenfahrt der gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Fahrzeuge nachgeben zu können. Zur Abdeckung des Spaltes zwischen Gliederbrücke und dem Boden 80 des Fahrzeugs ist ein Brückenblech 81 vorgesehen.The link bridge 30 (Fig. 5) consists of alternately arranged sliding and Tread members 37, 38, which are telescopically stored one inside the other such a link bridge is able to match the corresponding Movements, especially when cornering with each other to give way to connected vehicles.
