Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wagenkasten eines Schienenfahrzeuges mit einem Fahrgastteil und einer eine Fahrerkabine bildenden Fronthaube, wobei ein Untergestell des Fahrzeuges als Kupplungssystem entweder Seitenpuffer mit einer zugehörigen Schraubenkupplung oder eine Mittelpufferkupplung aufweist.The invention relates to a car body of a rail vehicle with a passenger section and a driver's cabin forming front hood, with a base of the Vehicle as a coupling system with either side buffers an associated screw coupling or a middle buffer coupling having.

Ein Schienenfahrzeug mit den zuvor genannten Gattungsmerkmalen wird als bekannt vorausgesetzt. In der Praxis sind insbesondere Triebwagen zur Personenbeförderung anzutreffen, die entsprechend den Vorgaben von Bahngesellschaften unterschiedliche Kupplungssysteme aufweisen. Die Anschlüsse dieser Kupplungssysteme am Fahrzeuguntergestell sowie die Kuppelebenen sind in international gültigen Vorschriften festgelegt. Daraus ergibt sich beispielsweise für ein Fahrzeug mit Seitenpuffern und Schraubenkupplung eine kürzere Frontpartie als für ein Fahrzeug mit Mittelpufferkupplung. Solche differierende Gestaltungen der Frontpartie einschließlich des Untergestelles stehen einer vor allem aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen angestrebten einheitlichen Bauweise von Schienenfahrzeugen entgegen.A rail vehicle with the aforementioned generic features is assumed to be known. In practice are especially railcars for passenger transport encountered in accordance with the specifications of railway companies have different coupling systems. The connections of these coupling systems on the vehicle chassis as well as the dome levels are in international applicable regulations. This results in for example for a vehicle with side buffers and Screw coupling a shorter front section than for a Vehicle with central buffer coupling. Such differentiating Designs of the front section including the base are one mainly from economic The desired uniform construction of Opposite rail vehicles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wagenkasten der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu gestalten, daß bei weitestgehend einheitlichem Aufbau der Fahrzeugstruktur verschiedene Längen der Frontpartie erzielbar sind. The invention has for its object a car body to design the generic type so that at largely uniform structure of the vehicle structure different lengths of the front section can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Fahrgastteil und der unabhängig vom Kupplungssystem stets identischen Fronthaube ein tunnelförmig gestaltetes Ausgleichselement angeordnet ist, das in seiner Baulänge entsprechend dem eingesetzten Kupplungs - system ausgelegt ist.This object is achieved in that between the passenger part and that independent of the coupling system always identical front hood a tunnel-shaped designed compensating element is arranged, which in its overall length according to the coupling used - system is designed.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the Subclaims 2 to 4 specified.

Im weiteren wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben, die in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt sind.Furthermore, the invention is based on exemplary embodiments described in more detail schematically in the drawing are shown.

Die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen jeweils ein Schienenfahrzeug in Seitenansicht. In Fig. 4 ist das Fahrzeug nach Fig. 1 in der Draufsicht dargestellt. Die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen ebenfalls in der Draufsicht jeweils weitere Gestaltungen eines Schienenfahrzeuges nach der Erfindung.1 to 3 each show a rail vehicle in Side view. In Fig. 4 the vehicle according to Fig. 1 is in the top view. 5 and 6 show also other designs in plan view of a rail vehicle according to the invention.

Bei den gezeigten Schienenfahrzeugen besteht der Wagenkasten im wesentlichen aus einem Fahrgastteil 1 und einer Fronthaube 2, die eine Fahrerkabine bildet. Die Fronthaube 2 ist in den Ausführungsbeispielen auf einen Vorbau 7' eines niederflurigen Fahrzeuguntergestelles 7 aufgesetzt. Gemäß Fig. 1 und 4 hat das Fahrzeug als Kupplungssystem 3 zwei am Vorbau 7' befestigte Seitenpuffer 3' mit einer zugehörigen Schraubenkupplung (hier nicht dargestellt). Die Fahrzeuge nach Fig. 2 und 3 sind jeweils mit einer ebenfalls am Vorbau 7' angeschlossenen Mittelpufferkupplung 3" als Kupplungssystem 3 ausgerüstet.In the rail vehicles shown there is the body essentially of a passenger part 1 and one Front hood 2, which forms a driver's cabin. The bonnet 2 is in the exemplary embodiments on a stem 7 'of a low-floor vehicle undercarriage 7. 1 and 4, the vehicle has a clutch system 3 two side buffers attached to the stem 7 ' 3 'with an associated screw coupling (not here ) Shown. 2 and 3 are each with one also connected to the stem 7 ' Central buffer coupling 3 "equipped as coupling system 3.

Die Fronthaube 2 ist bei allen Fahrzeugen identisch. Zwischen dem Fahrgastteil 1 und der Fronthaube 2 befindet sich ein tunnelförmig gestaltetes Ausgleichselement 4. The front hood 2 is identical in all vehicles. Is located between the passenger part 1 and the bonnet 2 a tunnel-shaped compensation element 4.

Die Baulänge des Ausgleichselements 4 ist entsprechend dem eingesetzten Kupplungssystem 3 ausgelegt; im Falle von Seitenpuffern 3' ist das Ausgleichselement 4 kürzer (siehe Fig. 1) als das Ausgleichselement 4 bei Einsatz einer Mittelpufferkupplung 3" (siehe Fig. 2). Die Baulänge des Ausgleichselements 4 ist mithin bestimmend für die Plazierung der Fronthaube 2 auf dem einheitlichen Untergestell 7 bzw. auf dessen Vorbau 7' und damit für die Länge der Frontpartie des Fahrzeuges.The overall length of the compensating element 4 is corresponding the coupling system 3 designed; in the event of of side buffers 3 ', the compensation element 4 is shorter (see Fig. 1) as the compensating element 4 in use a central buffer coupling 3 "(see FIG. 2) Overall length of the compensating element 4 is therefore decisive for the placement of the bonnet 2 on the uniform Underframe 7 or on its stem 7 'and thus for the length of the front of the vehicle.

Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, kann das Ausgleichselement 4 eine Einstiegstür 5 für den Fahrer enthalten. Um auch bei diesem Ausgleichselement 4 mit beträchtlicher Baulänge das einheitliche Untergestell 7 verwenden zu können, wird dessen Anschlußebene für die Mittelpufferkupplung 3'' durch ein einfaches Adapterstück 7'' am Vorbau 7' verlängert.As can be seen from Fig. 3, the compensating element 4 contain an entrance door 5 for the driver. Around also with this compensating element 4 with considerable Overall length to use the uniform base frame 7 can, its connection level for the central buffer coupling 3 '' by a simple adapter piece 7 '' on Stem extended 7 '.

Bei dem Schienenfahrzeug nach Fig. 5 ist der Fahrgastteil 1 um ein beliebiges Maß breiter als die wiederum identische Fronthaube 2. In diesem Fall dient das Ausgleichselement 4 nicht nur der Anpassung der Frontpartie an unterschiedliche Kupplungssysteme 3, sondern auch dem Überbrücken der Maßdifferenz zwischen der Fronthaube 2 und dem breiteren Fahrgastteil 1. Dazu ist das tunnelförmige Ausgleichselement 4 in Fahrzeugquerrichtung entsprechend flächig ausgeführt. Der wegen der Maßdifferenz bestehende stufenartige Versatz zwischen der Fronthaube 2 und dem Fahrgastteil 1 wird durch Verkleidungsstücke 6 egalisiert.5 is the passenger part 1 wider by any dimension than the identical one Front hood 2. In this case, the compensating element is used 4 not just the adaptation of the front section to different coupling systems 3, but also that Bridging the dimensional difference between the front hood 2 and the wider passenger section 1. This is the tunnel-shaped Compensation element 4 in the vehicle transverse direction correspondingly flat. The because of the difference in size existing step-like offset between the front hood 2 and the passenger part 1 is covered by trim 6 equalized.

Gemäß Fig. 6 besteht die Fronthaube 2 aus in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung geteilten Hälften 2', die vorzugsweise durch entsprechendes Durchschneiden der in den Fig. 1 bis 5 gezeigten einteiligen Fronthaube 2 erzeugt werden können. Zwischen den Hälften 2' der Fronthaube 2 ist ein zweites Ausgleichselement 4' angeordnet, mit dessen Hilfe die Breite der Fronthaube 2 an ein breiteres Fahrgastteil 1 angleichbar ist. Das zweite Ausgleichselement 2' ermöglicht also vorteilhaft die Nutzung der grundsätzlich identischen Fronthaube 2. Durch die Kombination der beiden Ausgleichselemente 4 und 4' ist eine optimale Anpassung des Fahrzeugkopfes an praktisch jede gewünschte Gestaltung hinsichtlich der Abmessungen (Länge und Breite) sowie des Umgrenzungsprofils zu realisieren.6, the front hood 2 consists of in the vehicle longitudinal direction divided halves 2 ', preferably by cutting through the corresponding in Figs. 1 to 5 shown one-piece front hood 2 are generated can. Between the halves 2 'of the front hood 2 is a second compensating element 4 'arranged with the help the width of the front hood 2 to a wider passenger part 1 is adaptable. The second compensating element 2 ' therefore advantageously allows the use of the identical front hood 2. By combining the two compensating elements 4 and 4 'is an optimal one Adaptation of the vehicle head to practically any desired Design in terms of dimensions (length and Width) and the boundary profile.
