Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine ausfahrbare Einstiegsrampe für Fahrzeuge des öffentlichen Personenverkehrs mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an extendable entrance ramp for vehicles of public passenger transport with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Einstiegsrampen sind an sich bekannt und beispielsweise in DE 100 65 989 C2 , DE 41 34 559 C2 und DE 44 22 598 A1 beschrieben.Such entry ramps are known per se and, for example, in DE 100 65 989 C2 . DE 41 34 559 C2 and DE 44 22 598 A1 described.

Bei Einstiegsrampen dieser bekannten Bauart besteht das Problem, dass Bahnsteige, die sich auf nahezu gleicher Höhe wie der Einstiegsbereich des Fahrzeugs befinden, nicht erreicht werden können, da die Ausschubplatte unterhalb der Einstiegsfläche angeordnet ist und die Anhebebewegung erst nach der Ausfahrtbewegung erfolgt. Die Ausschubplatte fährt somit erst gegen den Bahnsteig, und es wird ein Reversiervorgang ausgelöst.In entry ramps of this known type, the problem is that platforms that are located at almost the same height as the entry area of the vehicle, can not be achieved because the Ausschubplatte is arranged below the boarding surface and the lifting movement takes place only after the exit movement. The Ausschubplatte thus moves only against the platform, and it is triggered a reversing.

Es sind auch Einstiegsrampen bekannt, bei denen die Ausschubplatte sich bereits beim Ausfahren am vorderen Ende anhebt, so dass ein auf gleicher Höhe oder höher gelegener Bahnsteig erreicht werden kann. In DE 195 03 079 C2 ist eine Überfahrrampe für Rollstuhlfahrer in Fahrzeugen mit Niederflureinstiegen, insbesondere Reisezugwagen beschrieben, bei welcher die Ausschubplatte aus mindestens zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Teilen besteht, die um eine horizontale Achse relativ zueinander verschwenkbar sind und bei der Ausfahrbewegung ein Teil des Fußbodens des Einstiegsraums zusammen mit den Führungen der Ausschubplatte angehoben wird.There are also entry ramps are known in which the Ausschubplatte already lifts when extending at the front end, so that at the same height or higher located platform can be achieved. In DE 195 03 079 C2 is a ramp for wheelchair users in vehicles with low-floor access, in particular passenger coach described, in which the Ausschubplatte consists of at least two articulated parts which are pivotable about a horizontal axis relative to each other and in the extension of a part of the floor of the boarding room together with the guides the Ausschubplatte is raised.

Weiterhin ist in DE 199 09 700 A1 eine Vorrichtung zur Erleichterung des Ein- und Aussteigens an einem Fahrzeug des öffentlichen Personenverkehrs, insbesondere einem Bahnsteige anfahrenden Fahrzeug beschrieben, bei welcher die Ausschubplatte derart schwenkbar angeordnet ist, dass ihre nach außen weisende Kante angehoben oder abgesenkt werden kann, wobei mindestens ein Teilabschnitt des Fahrzeugbodens, der der Einstiegsöffnung zugewandt ist, mit angehoben wird.Furthermore, in DE 199 09 700 A1 a device for facilitating the entry and exit on a vehicle of public passenger transport, in particular a platform approaching vehicle described in which the Ausschubplatte is pivotally mounted so that its outward-facing edge can be raised or lowered, wherein at least a portion of the vehicle floor , which is facing the manhole, is raised with.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einstiegsrampe mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 so auszugestalten, dass es mittels einfacher konstruktiver Maßnahmen möglich ist, Bahnsteige, die auf nahezu gleicher Höhe wie der Einstiegsbereich des Fahrzeugs liegen, zu erreichen, ohne dass ein Teil des Fahrzeugbodens im Einstiegsbereich mit angehoben werden muss und ohne dass besondere Steuereinrichtungen zur Führung der Ausschubplatte notwendig sind.The invention is based on the object, an entry ramp with the features of the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that it is possible by means of simple constructive measures to achieve platforms that are at almost the same height as the entry area of the vehicle without a Part of the vehicle floor in the entry area must be raised with and without special control devices to guide the Ausschubplatte are necessary.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einstiegsrampe sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the entry ramp according to the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, die über ein Doppelscharnier mit dem verschiebbaren Transportelement verbundene Ausschubplatte so über ein am vorderen Ende des Gehäuses angeordnetes Abstützelement zu führen, dass, je nachdem, ob der Schwerpunkt der Ausschubplatte bei der Ausfahrbewegung vor oder hinter dem Abstützelement liegt, einander entgegengesetzte Kippmomente entstehen, aufgrund derer die Ausschubplatte in einem ersten Abschnitt der Ausfahrbewegung am vorderen Ende angehoben wird, um sich dann in einem zweiten Abschnitt der Ausfahrbewegung auf den Bahnsteig abzusenken.The basic idea of the invention is to guide the ejection plate, which is connected via a double hinge to the displaceable transport element, via a support element arranged at the front end of the housing, so that, depending on whether the center of gravity of the ejection plate lies in front of or behind the support element during the extension movement, arise opposite tilting moments, due to which the Ausschubplatte is raised in a first portion of the extension movement at the front end to then lower in a second portion of the extension movement on the platform.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der ausfahrbaren Einstiegsrampe ist zudem das Transportelement als geschlossener rechteckiger Rahmen ausgebildet, und die Antriebsvorrichtung ist in der Mitte des Gehäuses innerhalb dieses Rahmens angeordnet. Hierdurch ergeben sich stabilere und längere Führungsmöglichkeiten für den Rahmen, da in diesem Falle die Antriebsvorrichtung nicht, wie bei bekannten Einstiegsrampen, hinter dem Rahmen angeordnet werden muss sondern weiter nach vorne verlegt werden kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the extendable entry ramp, the transport element is also designed as a closed rectangular frame, and the drive device is arranged in the middle of the housing within this frame. This results in more stable and longer guidance options for the frame, since in this case the drive device does not need to be arranged behind the frame, as in known entry ramps, but can be moved further forward.

Im folgenden werden anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen Ausführungsbeispiele für eine ausfahrbare Einstiegsrampe nach der Erfindung näher erläutert.In the following embodiments of an extendable access ramp according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte ausfahrbare Einstiegsrampe kann in ein nicht dargestelltes Fahrzeug des öffentlichen Personenverkehrs eingebaut sein, das sich an einem Bahnsteig B befindet.The retractable access ramp shown in the drawings can be installed in a public transport vehicle, not shown, located on a platform B.

Die Einstiegsrampe besitzt ein geschlossenes Gehäuse 1 mit einem Boden 1.1, einer Gehäusedeckplatte 1.2, Seitenwänden 1.3 und einer sich an das vordere Ende der Gehäusedeckplatte anschließenden Trittleiste 1.4. Dabei bilden die Gehäusedeckplatte 1.2 und die Trittleiste 1.4 einen Teil des Fahrzeugbodens im Einstiegsbereich.The entry ramp has a closed housing 1 with a bottom 1.1, a housing cover plate 1.2, side walls 1.3 and a subsequent to the front end of the housing cover plate tread 1.4. In this case, the housing cover plate 1.2 and the tread 1.4 form part of the vehicle floor in the entry area.

Innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 ist ein von einer weiter unten näher beschriebenen Antriebsvorrichtung in Ausfahrrichtung verschiebbares Transportelement angeordnet. Das Transportelement ist als geschlossener rechteckiger Rahmen 3 mit einem vorderen Querträger 3.1 und einem hinteren Querträger 3.2 sowie zwei Seitenträgern 3.3 und 3.4 ausgebildet. Am vorderen Querträger 3.1 des Rahmens 3 ist über Doppelscharniere 10 das hintere Ende einer Ausschubplatte 2 befestigt, wobei das dem Rahmen 3 zugewandte Ende der Doppelscharniere jeweils ein Gelenk 10.1 und das der Ausschubplatte 2 zugewandte Ende der Doppelscharniere ein Gelenk 10.2 aufweist.Within the housing 1, a transport device which can be displaced in the extension direction by a drive device described in greater detail below is arranged. The transport element is formed as a closed rectangular frame 3 with a front cross member 3.1 and a rear cross member 3.2 and two side supports 3.3 and 3.4. At the front cross member 3.1 of the frame 3, the rear end of a Ausschubplatte 2 is attached via double hinges 10, wherein the frame 3 facing the end of the double hinges each have a hinge 10.1 and the Ausschubplatte 2 facing the end of the double hinges a joint 10.2.

Die Antriebsvorrichtung für den sich über die gesamte Breite des Gehäuses 1 erstreckenden Rahmen 3 ist innerhalb des Rahmens 3 angeordnet. Hierbei sind beispielsweise folgende Antriebsvorrichtungen möglich.The drive device for the over the entire width of the housing 1 extending frame 3 is disposed within the frame 3. In this case, for example, the following drive devices are possible.

Gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 kann die Antriebsvorrichtung einen elektrischen Getriebemotor 4 aufweisen, dessen Abtriebsritzel in eine mit dem Rahmen 3 fest verbundene Zahnstange 4.1 eingreift.According to the embodiment according to Fig. 4 For example, the drive device may have an electric geared motor 4, whose output pinion engages in a toothed rack 4.1 firmly connected to the frame 3.

Es ist aber auch möglich, gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 5 als Antriebsvorrichtung einen sich in Gehäuselängsrichtung erstreckenden Pneumatikzylinder 4' vorzusehen, der mit dem Gehäuseboden 1.1 fest verbunden ist, wobei der Kolben des Pneumatikzylinders über eine Kolbenstange 4.1' mit dem vorderen Querträger 3.1 des Rahmens 3 verbunden ist. Dabei kann der Pneumatikzylinder 4' im wesentlichen auf der Längsmittelachse des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet sein.But it is also possible, according to the embodiment according to Fig. 5 as drive device to provide a housing longitudinally extending in the pneumatic cylinder 4 ', which is fixedly connected to the housing bottom 1.1, wherein the piston of the pneumatic cylinder via a piston rod 4.1' is connected to the front cross member 3.1 of the frame 3. In this case, the pneumatic cylinder 4 'may be arranged substantially on the longitudinal central axis of the housing 1.

Am vorderen Ende des Gehäuses 1 ist ein als Abstützleiste ausgebildetes Abstützelement 12 so angeordnet, dass die Ausschubplatte an ihrer Unterseite beim Ausfahren durch die Abstützfläche des Abstützelementes 12 unterstützt ist. Die Länge des Doppelscharniers ist so bemessen, dass im eingefahrenen Zustand (siehe Fig. 3) der Ausschubplatte 2 und während eines ersten Abschnitts der Ausfahrbewegung der Ausschubplatte 2 der Schwerpunkt S der Ausschubplatte innerhalb des Abstützelements 12 liegt, so dass infolge des entstehenden Kippmomentes die Unterseite der Ausschubplatte 2 im Bereich innerhalb des Abstützelements 12 tiefer liegt als die Abstützfläche. In diesem Zustand sind die Doppelscharniere 10 nach vorne und unten geneigt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass im ersten Abschnitt der Ausfahrbewegung der Ausschubplatte 2 diese unter einem vorgegebenen spitzen Winkel nach oben ausgerichtet ausfährt und zwar so lange, bis der Schwerpunkt S über das Abstützelement 12 nach außen bewegt wird. Dann setzt eine Umkehrung des Kippmomentes in einem zweiten Abschnitt der Ausfahrbewegung ein, was zur Folge hat, dass sich das hintere Ende der Ausschubplatte 2 anhebt und sich das vordere Ende auf den Bahnsteig B absenkt. Diese Position ist in Figur 2 dargestellt, und es ist erkennbar, dass in dieser Stellung die Doppelscharniere 10 vom Rahmen 3 ausgehend schräg nach oben ausgerichtet sind.At the front end of the housing 1 designed as a support bar support member 12 is arranged so that the Ausschubplatte is supported on its underside during extension by the support surface of the support element 12. The length of the double hinge is dimensioned so that when retracted (see Fig. 3 ) of the Ausschubplatte 2 and during a first portion of the extension movement of the Ausschubplatte 2 the center of gravity S Ausschubplatte is within the support member 12, so that due to the resulting tilting moment the underside of the Ausschubplatte 2 in the area within the support member 12 is lower than the support surface. In this state, the double hinges 10 are inclined forward and downward. As a result, in the first section of the extension movement of the ejection plate 2, it extends upward at a predetermined acute angle, specifically until the center of gravity S is moved outward beyond the support element 12. Then, a reversal of the overturning moment begins in a second portion of the extension movement, with the result that the rear end of the ejection plate 2 raises and the front end of the platform B lowers. This position is in FIG. 2 shown, and it can be seen that in this position, the double hinges 10 are aligned starting from the frame 3 obliquely upward.

Der ganze Bewegungsablauf ist so, dass die Vorderkante der Ausschubplatte 2 am Anfang der Ausfahrbewegung eine anhebende Bewegung ausführt und somit nicht gegen den Bahnsteig B fährt sondern ihn übergreift. Nach Umkehrung des Kippmomentes senkt sich das vordere Ende der Ausschubplatte 2 auf den Bahnsteig B ab. Es kann somit ein nahezu ebener Gesamteinstiegsbereich, bestehend aus der Ausschubplatte 2, der Trittleiste 1.4 und der Gehäusedeckplatte 1.2, erzielt werden.The entire sequence of movements is such that the front edge of the Ausschubplatte 2 at the beginning of the extension movement performs a lifting movement and thus does not drive against the platform B but it overlaps. After reversal of the tilting moment, the front end of the Ausschubplatte 2 lowers on the platform B. It can thus be a virtually level Gesamtteinstiegsbereich consisting of the Ausschubplatte 2, the tread 1.4 and the housing cover plate 1.2, can be achieved.

Die Vorderseite des Gehäuses ist mit einer Verschlussklappe 11 verschlossen, die bei der Ausfahrbewegung der Ausschubplatte 2 aufgedrückt wird (siehe Fig. 2).The front of the housing is closed with a closure flap 11, which is pressed in the outward movement of the Ausschubplatte 2 (see Fig. 2 ).

Im Gehäuse 1 innerhalb des Rahmens 3 können weitere Bauelemente angeordnet sein, die in den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 4 und 5 jeweils mit gleichen Bezugsziffern versehen sind.In the housing 1 within the frame 3 further components may be arranged, which in the embodiments according to the Fig. 4 and 5 are each provided with the same reference numerals.

So sind innerhalb des Rahmens 3 zu beiden Seiten der Antriebsvorrichtung 4 bzw. 4' zwischen der Gehäusedeckplatte 1.2 und dem Gehäuseboden 1.1 Abstützelemente 5 angeordnet.Thus, support elements 5 are arranged within the frame 3 on both sides of the drive device 4 or 4 'between the housing cover plate 1.2 and the housing bottom 1.1.

Weiterhin sind innerhalb des Rahmens 3 Verriegelungseinheiten 6.1 und 6.2 sowie Endschalter 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 zur Erfassung von Positionen des Rahmens 3 und der Ausschubplatte 2 bzw. zur Steuerung der Antriebsvorrichtung angeordnet.Furthermore, within the frame 3 locking units 6.1 and 6.2 and limit switches 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 for detecting positions of the frame 3 and the Ausschubplatte 2 or arranged to control the drive device.

Die Verriegelungseinheiten 6.1 und 6.2 greifen in am Rahmen 3 befestigte Verriegelungselemente und sichern die Position der Ausschubplatte 2 in den aus- und eingefahrenen Endlagen. Die Endschalter 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 werden durch ebenfalls am Rahmen befestigte Betätigungsnocken 7.11, 7.21, 7.31 angesteuert.The locking units 6.1 and 6.2 engage in the frame 3 fastened locking elements and secure the position of the Ausschubplatte 2 in the extended and retracted end positions. The limit switches 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 are controlled by also attached to the frame actuating cam 7.11, 7.21, 7.31.

Der Rahmen 3 ist durch im Gehäuse 1 angeordnete, in Längrichtung verlaufende Führungsschienen 8.1 und 8.2 geführt. Weiterhin sind am Gehäuse bzw. am Rahmen 3 Anschläge 9 bzw. 9.1 vorgesehen.The frame 3 is guided by arranged in the housing 1, extending in the longitudinal direction guide rails 8.1 and 8.2. Furthermore, 3 stops 9 and 9.1 are provided on the housing or on the frame.
