Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a footplate of a gangway provided at a connecting portion of railway cars connected to form a train formation.
  • a gangway is provided at ends of respective cars of a train formation in which railway cars are connected to form a train, so as to enable easy and safe movement of passengers from one car to another.
  • the gangway is composed of a footplate connected at a longitudinal end of a railway car and overlapped with another footplate, and a bellows connected to the longitudinal end of the railway car to cover the gangway at the longitudinal end of the railway car.
  • Such conventional gangway is not especially appropriate for application to the latest railway cars that are required to have superior outer appearance.
  • Japanese Patent No. 3060367 discloses an art that is aimed at solving the problem and to provide improvement of the appearance.
  • the footplate is placed on an end of the adjacent railway car. Rollers are provided at the bottom surface of the footplate that enable the footplate to move in the width direction when one railway car is displaced in the width direction with respect to another railway car.
  • a wide gangway in the width direction can be formed.
  • the disclosure of patent document 2 solves the above-mentioned problem of the footplates.
  • the footplates disclosed here is arranged so that the footplates deform into a parallelogram when the adjacent car bodies are displaced in the width direction, and requires rollers for supporting the footplate structure, so the thickness of the whole footplate structure is relatively large. Therefore, it is applicable to railway cars in European countries having a relatively large distance between the upper surface of the floor of the railway car and the upper surface of the coupler, but since the railway cars in Japan have couplers that have a height higher by approximately 200 mm than the railway cars in Europe, so the distance between the upper surface of the floor of the railway car and the upper surface of the coupler is not large enough to adopt the disclosed footplate structure.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a footplate that has a relatively small thickness and generates only a small noise, to improve the overall quality of the gangway including the footplate.
  • a footplate provided on a floor of a gangway at a connecting portion between railway cars to enable passengers and the like to move from one car to another, the footplate comprising: a plurality of flat panels disposed in parallel along a longitudinal direction of the railway car that are connected by a connecting member disposed along a width direction of the railway car; wherein the plurality of flat panels are capable of rotating around the connecting member.

  • FIG. 1 illustrates a state in which a gangway footplate 10 is disposed on a railway car.
  • the footplate 10 is positioned to cross over respective underframes 20 of adjacent railway cars.
  • An end portion (end frame side) of the underframe 20 has a gain 21 (FIGS. 2 and 9) with a depth and size capable of housing the footplate 10 formed to extend from the underframe (upper surface of the floor) to the footplate 10 so as to minimize height difference.
  • the width of the gain 21 (the width in the width direction of the car body) is greater than the width of the footplate 10.
  • the depth of the gain 21 is somewhat greater than the height of the footplate 10.
  • a continuous plane (upper surface of the floor) is formed from one underframe 20 to the other underframe.
  • a space S is formed between the bottom surface of the cover 30 and the upper surface of the footplate 10.
  • the footplate 10 has a flat upper surface with respect to the longitudinal direction of the car body (direction X) and the width direction of the car body (direction Y).
  • the underframe 20 is covered by side frames 22, a roof frame 23 and end frames 24.
  • the end frame 24 has a port 25 for a gangway.
  • the adjacent cars are covered with bellows, but they are omitted from the drawing.
  • X denotes the longitudinal direction of the car, and Y denotes the width direction of the car.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the relationship between the underframe 20, the footplate 10, the gain 21 and the cover 30.
  • a space S is formed between the upper surface of the footplate 10 and the lower surface of the cover 30.
  • the space S is approximately 25 mm.
  • a slope 32 for smoothly connecting the leading end of the cover 30 and the plane of the footplate 10 is disposed on the leading end of the cover 30.
  • the footplate 10 is formed of a plurality of extruded shape members (also referred to as flat panels) 110 that are disposed with their longitudinal directions corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the car body, a pipe (connecting member) 80 for connecting them in the width direction, a draft spring 50, and so on.
  • the extruded shape members 110 are formed of aluminum alloy.
  • the extruded shape members 110 are extruded along direction X, with flat upper and lower surfaces.
  • the shape members 110 are hollow.
  • the pipe 80 is hollow so as to have light weight, but a solid cylinder can be used instead.
  • the pipe 80 passes through the longitudinal center area of the extruded shape members 110.
  • the plurality of extruded shape members 110 form a floor surface on which crews and the like can walk easily.
  • the length of the extruded shape member 110 is greater than the space between the adjacent cars.
  • the length of the shape member 110 is approximately 700 mm.
  • holes 111 are formed to both side surfaces of the extruded shape member, and the cylindrical portions of bushings 90, 90 are passed through each of the holes 111, 111.
  • a pipe is passed through the bushings 90.
  • the bushings 90 are formed of resin.
  • a coil spring 100 is placed between a flange portion of the bushing 90 passed through the extruded shape member 110 at the width-direction end thereof and an end plate 85 positioned at an axial end portion of the pipe 80.
  • the coil springs 100 are disposed at both ends of the pipe.
  • the end plate 85 on one axial end of the pipe 80 is welded onto the pipe 80.
  • the end plate 85 on the other end and the pipe 80 are formed separately.
  • the coil spring 100 is passed through the pipe 80 onto which the end plate 85 is welded, and the bushing 90 is passed through from the other side of the pipe 80 at one end side of the plural extruded shape members 110.
  • another coil spring 110 is placed and another end plate 85 is attached to the end of the pipe 80.
  • a screw portion of the end plate 85 is screw-engaged with the screw 81 at the end of the pipe 80 so as to fix the members together.
  • adjacent extruded shape members 110 contact each other via the flange portion of bushings 90, 90.
  • the extruded shape members 110 are pressed by coil springs 100.
  • the extruded shape members are pressurized by coil springs 100.
  • a slip stopper member 120 is adhered to the upper surface of the extruded shape member 110.
  • the upper surface of the extruded shape member 110 is recessed to correspond to the thickness of the slip stopper member 120.
  • a projection 115 (FIG. 7) is provided at each width-direction end of the recessed portion. The slip stopper member 120 is adhered along the projection 115, by which the adhering operation is facilitated.
  • FIG. 5 shows one example of the method for assembling the pipe 80 and the end plates 85.
