Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device, in particular for a rail vehicle, for fastening a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor, wherein the fastening device comprises a vehicle seat and a flap device, which can be folded forward and backward while the vehicle seat mounted on the fastening device forward moved to a front end position or to the rear in a rear end position.
  • Such a fastening device is known from the DE 195 32 025 A1 already known.
  • the device described therein has a Parallelogrammschwenkmechanik consisting of two upper and two lower straps, which can be attached via joints with a seat pan.
  • the Parallelogrammschwenkmechanik transferred the seat into a raised position as soon as a train driver leads the rail vehicle standing.
  • Fastening devices of the type described are used, for example, to fasten vehicle seats in a driver's compartment of a rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive.
  • the existing in the fastening device flapper allows a driver to fold the vehicle seat forward or backward and thereby determine whether he will lead the rail vehicle standing or sitting.
  • the driver will fold the vehicle seat with the flap device backwards if he wants to lead the rail vehicle standing up, and he will fold the vehicle seat forward by means of the flap device, if he wants to steer the rail vehicle in a sitting position.
  • a locomotive usually has two driver's cabs separated by an engine room therebetween.
  • the total length of the locomotive thus results from the length of the engine room and the length of the two driver's cabs.
  • the total length of the locomotive should be as low as possible, because the shell weight increases with the length, and the driving dynamics will be worse with increasing total length. In the development of locomotives is thus trying to achieve the lowest possible total length.
  • the length of the driver's space is accordingly dimensioned as short as possible.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a fastening device for securing a vehicle seat of the type specified in such a way that it allows the fastening of a vehicle seat with the least possible space.
  • the fastening device has at least one spring whose spring force is dimensioned such that the flap device is automatically folded from the folded back position forward when the vehicle seat is unoccupied.
  • a significant advantage of the fastening device according to the invention is the fact that this allows for use in rail vehicles, especially locomotives, shorter guide spaces, as is the case with prior art fasteners. This is concretely due to the fact that the fastening device is always folded forward by the spring provided according to the invention when the vehicle seat is unoccupied. This will be briefly explained in more detail: When dimensioning the length of a driver's cab, it must be taken into account, inter alia, that existing ones Entrance doors through which the rail vehicle enters and through which it is left again, without a blockage through the vehicle seat open. In addition, when dimensioning the cab length, it must be ensured that predetermined minimum flight paths remain open and can not be blocked by the vehicle seat.
  • the invention begins by providing according to the invention that the fastening device is always folded forward together with the vehicle seat mounted thereon when the rail vehicle driver does not use the vehicle seat. Removes the driver from the vehicle seat, the fastening device with the vehicle seat will always fold forward, so that the space requirement of the vehicle seat is reduced; because due to Nachvorneklappens the vehicle seat is automatically folded away from the entrance door as well as from the area of the escape route, so that neither the fastening device nor the vehicle seat located thereon can interfere.
  • the spring is damped such that the folding back of the flap device from the folded-back position into the folded-forward position lasts for at least a predetermined period of time.
  • the damping of the spring is preferably dimensioned such that the time period is at least one second and preferably between one and two seconds.
  • the fastening device has a locking device with which the flap device in the folded back Lock position allows, wherein the locking device is designed such that it remains locked only as long as a foot element of the locking device is pressed in the direction of the vehicle floor, and is otherwise automatically unlocked.
  • the foot element illustratively forms a type of sensor that checks or monitors whether the driver is still in the space between the vehicle seat Only if this is the case, ie if the driver stands on the foot element, the locking device remains locked and the flap device folded backwards, otherwise the vehicle seat folds forward.
  • the locking device preferably has a pivotable about a pivot axis bolt on one end of the foot member is arranged directly or indirectly and at the other end a positive locking element is arranged, which cooperates with a counter-form-locking element of the flap device and can lock the flap in the folded-back position.
  • the locking device has a spring device which exerts a spring force directly or indirectly on the foot element, by which the foot element is pivoted away from the vehicle floor and the locking device is unlocked, if no sufficient counterforce is exerted on the foot element ,
  • the flap device has at least one front pivot lever and at least one rear pivot lever and an upper carrier directly or indirectly connectable to the vehicle seat and a lower carrier that can be connected directly or indirectly to the vehicle floor, the two pivot levers each having its own a pivot lever end to the upper support and each with its other pivot lever end to the lower support are fixed such that the two pivot levers remain arranged in each folding position of the flap means parallel to each other.
  • a parallel guide is ensures that the vehicle seat only at the front and rear reaches a stable end position and wants to fold from an intermediate position either forward or backward. Liners are always unstable.
  • the pivot axis of the front pivot lever and the pivot axis of the pivotable bolt parallel to each other or are identical.
  • the counter-form-locking element is preferably arranged on the rear pivot lever.
  • a rail vehicle in particular a locomotive, with a vehicle seat and a fastening device, as described above, viewed, wherein the vehicle seat of the rail vehicle is mounted by means of the fastening device on the vehicle floor of the rail vehicle.
  • the vehicle seat is arranged in a driver's compartment of the rail vehicle such that the vehicle seat in the folded forward position of the fastening device blocks neither a door of the driver's compartment nor adjusted a predetermined escape route and that the vehicle seat in the folded back position of the fastening device either a door of Leader blocked or the default escape route at least partially adjusted.
  • FIG. 1 can be seen on the left side of a rail vehicle with a driver's compartment 1, which is equipped with a guide table 2 and a rear wall cabinet 3.
  • the driver's compartment 1 can be reached from the outside through an access door 4 and optionally from the machine room through a machine room door 5 (cf. FIG. 1 right side).
  • FIG. 1 shows on the left side an embodiment of an unclaimed fastening device in which a flap device is provided with which the vehicle seat can be folded forward and backward.
  • the distance that is overcome by this folding process is in the FIG. 1 denoted by the reference K and is hereinafter also referred to as Klappweg.
  • FIG. 1 can also be seen that the vehicle seat itself is also displaced forward and backward, namely the sliding path S.
  • FIG. 2 shows by way of example the vehicle seat 6 with the unclaimed fastening device according to the FIG. 1 (left side) closer in detail. It can be seen that the vehicle seat 6 is equipped with armrests 7 and is held by the fastening device 8.
  • the fastening device 8 has a flap device 9 in the form of a parallel guide device.
  • the flapper 9 comprises a front pivot lever 10 and a rear pivot lever 11.
  • the two reference numerals 10 and 11 denote in FIG. 2 the folded forward position of the flapper 9 and thus the folded forward position of the vehicle seat. 6
  • Reference numerals 10a and 11a indicate the front and rear pivot levers in the folded-back position.
  • the reference numeral 6a accordingly indicates the rearwardly folded position of the vehicle seat 6.
  • the fastening device 8 according to the FIG. 2 is configured such that the flapper 9 is locked in the rearwardly pivoted position, so that the vehicle seat 6 remains in the rearwardly pivoted position when it has been pivoted backwards. This allows the vehicle operator to operate the rail vehicle in a standing position.
  • the fastening device 8 is also equipped with an unlocking device 12, which unlocks the Flap device 9 allows, so that the flapper 9 and, consequently, the vehicle seat 6 can be folded forward again.
  • the vehicle operator can control the rail vehicle in a seated position.
  • the distance between the folded forward vehicle seat 6 and the driver's table 2 is in the FIG. 2 marked with the reference sign SRP.
  • FIG. 3 an embodiment of a fastening device according to the invention is shown.
  • the fastening device 8 has a flap device 9, which is also equipped with a front pivot lever 10 and a rear pivot lever 11.
  • the reference numerals 10 and 11 indicate again the folded forward position of the flapper 9 and thus the folded to the front position of the vehicle seat 6.
  • the reference numeral 6a again the folded back position of the vehicle seat 6 is designated; the reference numerals 10a and 11a again indicate the folded back position of the front pivot lever 10 and the rear pivot lever 11th
  • the two pivot levers are in each case fastened with their one pivot lever end to an upper support 13 and each with its other pivot lever end to a lower support 14 such that the two pivot levers remain arranged parallel to each other in each folding position of the flap means.
  • the fastening device 8 is equipped with a damped gas spring 15 which acts on the flapper 9.
  • the gas spring 15 is arranged such that it wants to fold the flapper 9 to the front.
  • the fastening device 8 In addition to the gas spring 15, the fastening device 8 according to FIG. 3 equipped with a locking device 16.
  • the locking device 16 has a latch 17, which is pivotable about a pivot axis 18.
  • the pivot axis 18 may be identical, for example, with the lower pivot axis 19 of the front pivot lever 10.
  • the latch 17 has at its one end 25 to a foot member 26, which may be, for example, a foot plate. By means of the foot member 26, one end 25 of the bolt 17 can be pressed in the direction of the vehicle floor 30.
  • a positive locking element 36 is attached, which is provided with a counter-form-locking element 40 of the flap device 9 cooperates.
  • the counter-form-locking element 40 can be arranged, for example, on the rear pivot lever 11 of the flap device 9.
  • the function of the positive locking element 36 is to lock the vehicle seat 6 or the flap 9 in the rear position.
  • the bolt 17 prevents the vehicle seat 6 can be pivoted from the folded back position by the damped gas spring 15 to the front.
  • the latch 17 with its form-locking element 36 will only perform locking in the manner described, as long as the positive-locking element 36 engages in the counter-form-locking element 40; This requires that the foot member 26 is pressed onto the vehicle floor 30. Such a pressing of the foot member 26 on the vehicle floor 30, the driver will perform when he wants to hold the vehicle seat 6 in the folded back position, for example, if he wants to run in a standing position, the rail vehicle.
  • a spring device 45 of the locking device 16 will pivot the bolt 17 such that the foot element 26 is raised from the vehicle floor 30 and the positive-locking element 36 is separated from the counter-form-locking element 40. This will result in an unlocking, so that the gas spring 15 will fold the flapper 9 from the folded back position to the folded forward position.
  • the locking device 16 is used with the foot member 26 to ensure that the vehicle seat remains in the folded back position only as long as the driver stands on the foot member 26 and presses it on the vehicle floor 30.
  • a folded back position of the vehicle seat 6 will therefore only be preserved as long as the driver is between the driver's table 2 and the vehicle seat 6.
  • he will inevitably release the foot member 26, so that the gas spring 15 is damped the vehicle seat 6 and thus will pivot forward with a time delay.
  • the automatic Nachvornklappen or Nachvornschwenken the vehicle seat 6 ensures that the driver can open the entrance door 4 readily and has a sufficient escape route F available.
  • FIG. 1 shows also the FIG. 1 again closer: So can the FIG. 1 infer that the length of the driver's compartment 1 on the right side to the folding path K is less than the length of the driver's compartment on the left side of the picture. This is due to the fact that the vehicle seat 6 on the right side of the image is folded forward when it is unoccupied, so that a corresponding provision of driver space length for the folding path K is not required.
