Abstract

The roof (1), endwalls (3) and possibly also the base and/or crosswall elements determining the width of the body can be varied in width and consist of e.g. sidewalls (2) unaffected by cab width but also capable of serving as standard assemblies for all cab widths. The width-variable components have adaptor zones which can taper or widen the components concerned by shortening or lengthening the adaptor zones. The wagon body can be fitted in end cabs within the cab limits to meet all technical requirements but without changing the actual body width. The vehicle body is self-supporting in service.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wagenkasten, insbesondere ein End- oder Kopfmodul oder Führerstandraum eines Schienenfahrzeuges, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a car body, in particular an end or head module or driver's cab of a rail vehicle, according to the generic term of claim 1.

Aus der DE 196 09 995 A1 ist es bekannt, eine Stirnwand mit Frontscheibe durch Teilung in logistisch günstig ausgebildete Bauteile auszubilden. Dabei weist die Stirnwand zwei vom Dach bis zum Untergestell des Fahrzeuges reichende Seitenteile, ein die Seitenteile im Dachbereich verbindendes Dachteil sowie ein die Seitenteile unterhalb des Fensterausschnitts verbindendes Mittelteil, welches als vorgefertigte Einzelsektionen durch Montage am Wagenkasten und miteinander zu einer Stirnwand gefügt sind. Durch diese Bauweise soll bei modernen Schienentrieb- oder Führungsfahrzeugen mit Führerstandraum die Herstellung der Stirnwand mit einem großflächigen Fensterausschnitt und sphärischer Krümmung erleichtert werden. Die Herstellung der Stirnwand als ganze, vorgefertigte Stirnwandsektion ist in Leichtbauweise oft nicht oder mit großem Aufwand technisch herstellbar.From DE 196 09 995 A1 it is known to have an end wall with a windscreen by dividing them into logistically favorable components. there the front wall has two extending from the roof to the base of the vehicle Side parts, a roof part connecting the side parts in the roof area as well as a central part connecting the side parts below the window opening, which as prefabricated individual sections by mounting on the car body and are joined together to form an end wall. This design is intended to modern rail drive or guide vehicles with driver's cab space Manufacture of the front wall with a large window cutout and spherical Curvature to be relieved. The manufacture of the bulkhead as a whole, Prefabricated end wall section is often not lightweight or with a large size Technically producible effort.

Ein aus einzelnen Baugruppen hergestellter, gattungsähnlicher Führerstandraum ist z. B. auch noch aus der DE 195 28 035 A1 bekannt.A generic driver's cab made from individual assemblies is z. B. also known from DE 195 28 035 A1.

Weiter ist aus der EP 0 533 582 A1 ein Führerstandraum, bestehend aus einem Boden, einer Rückwand mit Durchtrittsöffnung zum Wagenkasten, zwei Seitenwänden und einem nach vorn gewölbten Dach mit Fensterausschnitt und einem daran anschließenden Stirnwandabschnitt bekannt. Diese aus Verbundwerkstoffen bestehenden Baugruppen sind zu einer Großsektion vorgefertigt, in dem die Baugruppen entweder einzeln hergestellt und dann miteinander verbunden werden oder der gesamte Führerstandraum als Monoblock hergestellt ist.Furthermore, EP 0 533 582 A1 describes a driver's cab, consisting of a Floor, a rear wall with an opening to the body, two side walls and a forward arched roof with a window and one adjoining end wall section known. These made of composite materials existing assemblies are prefabricated into a large section in which the modules are either manufactured individually and then connected together or the entire cab is manufactured as a monoblock.

Der Entscheid für die Herstellung von Wagenkästen und der End- oder Kopfmodule bzw. Führerstandräume aus jeweils individuell angepassten, einzelnen Baugruppen wie auch die Herstellung der End- oder Kopfmodule bzw. Führerstandräume in Monoblockbauweise oder die Herstellung von ganzen Wagenkästen, allerdings ohne End- oder Kopfmodule, mittels der Wickeltechnik ist abhängig von der Herstellungsstückzahl und dem bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch für Nahverkehrs-, Regional- oder Hochgeschwindigkeits-Schienenfahrzeuge und oft aufwendig und unwirtschaftlich.The decision to manufacture car bodies and the end or head modules or cabins from individually adapted, individual Assemblies as well as the manufacture of the end or head modules or driver's cab spaces in monoblock construction or the production of entire car bodies, however without end or head modules, by means of the winding technique is dependent on the number of pieces of manufacture and the intended use for local, regional or high-speed rail vehicles and often complex and uneconomical.

Wirtschaftlich günstiger wird die Herstellung sein, wenn möglichst viele Baugruppen eines Wagenkastens, insbesondere auch die End- oder Kopfmodule oder Führerstandraum für bauarterschiedene Schienenfahrzeuge Verwendung finden könnten.Manufacturing will be more economical if there are as many assemblies as possible a car body, especially the end or head modules or driver's cab for use with different types of rail vehicles could find.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wagenkasten, insbesondere ein End- oder Kopfmodul oder Führerstandraum, für Schienenfahrzeuge derart zu verbessern, daß möglichst viele Baugruppen des Wagenkastens, insbesondere auch die in Fahrzeugquerrichtung sich erstreckenden Bauelemente für bauartverschiedene Schienenfahrzeuge bei geringem Anpassaufwand Verwendung finden können.The invention is therefore based on the object of a car body, in particular an end or head module or driver's cab, for rail vehicles to improve in such a way that as many assemblies of the body as possible, in particular also the components extending in the vehicle transverse direction for different types of rail vehicles with little adjustment effort Can find use.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Ausbildung des Wagenkastens gelöst.This object is characterized by the training in claim 1 Car body solved.

Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben.Appropriate further developments are specified in subclaims 2 to 4.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben. The invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte End- oder Kopfmodul eines Wagenkastens, hier auch gleichzeitig der Führerstandraum, besteht aus mehreren Baugruppen wie Dach 1, Seitenwänden 2 und Stirnwänden 3 und ggf. Bodenelementen und/oder Querwandelementen (hier nicht dargestellt). Die Stirnwände 3 umfassen die das Fahrzeug nach vorn bzw. hinten abschließenden Flächenelemente, die ggf. unterhalb, oberhalb und seitlich der Frontscheibe angeordnet sein können. Die die Breite des Wagenkastens bzw. End- oder Kopfmoduls bestimmenden Baugruppen wie Dach 1, Stirnwände 3 und gegebenenfalls Boden- und/oder Querwandelemente sind breitenvariabel ausgebildet. Die von der Breite des Wagenkastens bzw. End- oder Kopfmoduls unbeeinflussten Baugruppen, wie z. B. die Seitenwände 3 und Seitenbaugruppen sind als Standard-Baugruppen ausgebildet, die für Fahrzeuge unterschiedlicher Fahrzeugbreite Verwendung finden können.The end or head module of a car body shown in the drawing, here the driver's cab at the same time consists of several assemblies such as roof 1, side walls 2 and end walls 3 and possibly floor elements and / or transverse wall elements (not shown here). The end walls 3 include the surface elements closing the vehicle to the front or rear, which may be arranged below, above and to the side of the windscreen can. Which determine the width of the car body or end or head module Assemblies such as roof 1, end walls 3 and possibly floor and / or transverse wall elements are of variable width. The one from the Width of the car body or end or head module unaffected modules, such as B. the side walls 3 and side assemblies are standard assemblies trained for vehicles of different vehicle widths Can find use.

Die breitenvariablen Baugruppen, wie Dach 1 und Stirnwände 3 und gegebenenfalls Boden- und/oder Querwandelemente weisen Anpasszonen 4 auf, die ein Verschmälern oder Verbreitern der Baugruppen über zu verkürzende oder zu verlängernde Anpasszonen 4 ermöglichen.The wide variable assemblies, such as roof 1 and end walls 3 and, if necessary Floor and / or transverse wall elements have adjustment zones 4 which a narrowing or widening of the assemblies by shortening or allow adjustment zones 4 to be extended.

Ein im End- oder Kopfmodul anzuordnender Führerstand ist innerhalb des Führerstandraumes in den Grenzen dessen Erstreckung und ggf. der im Einzelfall vorliegenden technischen Zwänge und Erfordernisse weitgehend frei plazierbar. Als Führerstand kann ein nicht breitenvariabler Standard-Führerstand für unterschiedliche Führerstandraumbreiten Verwendung finden.A driver's cab to be arranged in the end or head module is inside the driver's cab room within the limits of its extent and, if necessary, that in individual cases existing technical constraints and requirements largely freely placeable. As a driver's cab, a standard cab that is not variable in width can be used for different purposes Find cab widths.

Der Wagenkasten bzw. das End- oder Kopfmodul können im montierten Zustand trotz Fügens aus einzelnen Modulelementen durch geeignete Ausbildung und geeigneten, gegenseitigen Verbindungen selbsttragend ausgebildet sein. The car body or the end or head module can be assembled despite joining individual module elements through suitable training and suitable, mutual connections to be self-supporting.
