Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular concept for a carbody of a rail vehicle wherein all modules are structural.
- Conventional rail vehicles often have a carbody construction comprising a load-bearing framework of longitudinal, vertical and transversal beams welded together. An outside panel of flat or corrugated sheet material is welded or riveted to the beams. Insulating material is placed between beams and covered with an inner panel.
- the weight of the vehicle is high since a great part of the material constitutes non-structural panels and isolation.
- the walls are thick since heavy beams are needed to support the structure.
- the patent US 5,797,646 describes a modular rail or road vehicle with roof and chassis that has sidewalls comprising frames.
- the frames are the only structural parts of the sidewalls.
- a frame could be covered by panel or could include windows or doors.
- a disadvantage with this construction is that very high forces have to be taken up by the structural parts in case of a frontal collision. If large parts of the sides are non-structural the entire load must be taken up by the roof and chassis elements.

- Another object is to make production time and labour effective. This is obtained by having a high degree of sub-assembly.
- Another object is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by minimising the material that does not contribute to the strength of the vehicle.
- a lower weight gives several positive effects such as reduced cost for fuel, lower impact on wheels and axles and less wear of rails.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a modular concept for a carbody of a rail vehicle wherein all modules are structural.
- Conventional rail vehicles often have a carbody construction comprising a load-bearing framework of longitudinal, vertical and transversal beams welded together. An outside panel of flat or corrugated sheet material is welded or riveted to the beams. Insulating material is placed between beams and covered with an inner panel.
- This kind of conventional carbodies is impaired with a number of drawbacks: The assembly is inevitably sequential, which makes lead-time and assembly time long. The assembly is also vulnerable to delay since the next operation cannot be started until the previous one is finished. The ergonomic and logistic conditions of the process are difficult.
- Welding introduces aesthetic and constructional weaknesses in the finished car body.
- The weight of the vehicle is high since a great part of the material constitutes non-structural panels and isolation.
- The walls are thick since heavy beams are needed to support the structure.
- Many train manufacturers try to solve problems with conventional rail vehicles by introducing a modular carbody.
- The patent
US 5,797,646 describes a modular rail or road vehicle with roof and chassis that has sidewalls comprising frames. The frames are the only structural parts of the sidewalls. A frame could be covered by panel or could include windows or doors. There are also non-structural parts of the side walls that comprise panelling or windows. - A disadvantage with this construction is that very high forces have to be taken up by the structural parts in case of a frontal collision. If large parts of the sides are non-structural the entire load must be taken up by the roof and chassis elements.
- The document
EP 0605366 A1 shows a construction of an annular series of hollow structural panels. The longitudinal edges of each structural panel are rigidly connected to the corresponding longitudinal edges of the adjacent panels by means of continuous welding. - Prior art vehicles designed this way suffer from the following draw-backs; welding introduces structural and aesthetic weaknesses in the construction; and the construction does not permit a high degree of sub-assembly since electrical fittings, paint, trimmings, windows and other equipment has to be mounted after the welding operation.
- One object with the present invention is to obtain a carbody with thin walls for large inner space. The walls should be uninterrupted by struts, beams and framework. The larger inner space makes it possible to seat more people or to increase passenger comfort.
- Another object is to avoid welding so as to eliminate the structural weaknesses and the irregular surfaces introduced by welding.
- Another object is to make production time and labour effective. This is obtained by having a high degree of sub-assembly.
- Another object is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by minimising the material that does not contribute to the strength of the vehicle. A lower weight gives several positive effects such as reduced cost for fuel, lower impact on wheels and axles and less wear of rails.
- The present invention relates to a modular carbody for rail vehicles and a method to manufacture the carbody. The roof and floor are separate, one-piece structural elements: roof and floor modules, which together with vertical structural elements form a carbody structure. The vertical elements can include a door and then constitutes a door module or a window and then constitute a wall-module.
- Additional elements close the structure in the ends forming gables, driver's cabs or other end structures. These elements do not contribute greatly to the longitudinal strength of the vehicle, but contribute mainly to the cross-sectional strength of the carbody. The end structures are also important for the integrity of the carbody.
- The wall modules contribute mainly to the longitudinal strength of the vehicle. The door modules and end structures contribute mainly to the cross-sectional strength as well as possible internal reinforcements in the form of partition walls. The floor and roof modules are of course both longitudinally and transversally strong. Stiffening members could be integrated in the roof and floor modules where extra strength is needed as for example in connection to door modules and bogies. The stiffening members could be beams of steel of the same thickness as the core material. The flexural resistance of the wall modules, the roof module and the floor module together with the door modules co-operate with roof and floor to form a strong cage, which effectively protects passengers in case of derailment.
- The wall modules should be uniformly thin across the length of the module, preferably 20-80 mm thick. The thinnest of today's conventionally constructed carbodies have a wall thickness of 72 mm. Depending on demands on thermal insulation and strength, a wall of structural elements can be made with a thickness of 20 mm, but a wall thickness of more than 30 mm is preferred to facilitate the fitting of windows in the walls.
- A further advantage with the modular concept of the invention is that wall modules and door modules are individually replaceable. If there is local damage to one module it can be removed and replaced by a similar module. It would also be possible to re-design the vehicle after some years of service to have more doors or a different layout.
- Windows can be glued into the wall modules to contribute to the shearing strength or they can be fitted in, in such a way that only very small forces are transferred to the glass.
