An independent claim is also included for a railway vehicle comprising remote control and translation units.

Description

La présente invention concerne une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire du type comprenant un plancher s'étendant au-dessus et entre deux bogies prévus à chaque extrémité de la voiture, ledit plancher étant dépourvu de marches et comprenant au moins une plate-forme basse et deux niveaux de plancher hauts disposés chacun au droit d'un bogie de part et d'autre de la plate-forme basse, la plate-forme basse présentant une hauteur de plancher inférieure à celle des niveaux de plancher hauts et étant disposée en regard d'une porte de la voiture du véhicule ferroviaire, la plate-forme basse étant mobile en translation verticale de sorte que la hauteur de la plate-forme basse est ajustable afin de permettre d'adapter la hauteur de ladite plate-forme à la hauteur d'un quai de véhicule ferroviaire de hauteur variable.The present invention relates to a rail vehicle car of the type comprising a floor extending above and between two bogies provided at each end of the car, said floor being devoid of steps and comprising at least one low platform and two levels of high floors each arranged to the right of a bogie on either side of the low platform, the low platform having a floor height lower than that of the high floor levels and being arranged opposite a car door of the railway vehicle, the lower platform being mobile in vertical translation so that the height of the low platform is adjustable to allow the height of said platform to be adjusted to the height of a platform of railway vehicle of variable height.

Certaines voitures de véhicule ferroviaire sont adaptées pour faciliter l'accès à, et accueillir des voyageurs à mobilité réduite, se déplaçant par exemple au moyen d'un fauteuil roulant.Certain rail vehicle cars are adapted to facilitate access to and accommodate passengers with reduced mobility, for example traveling by means of a wheelchair.

Dans de telles voitures, on prévoit généralement d'abaisser la hauteur de plancher de la zone se trouvant en regard d'une porte du véhicule afin d'approcher au plus près de la hauteur du quai et éviter ainsi la présence de marches hautes rendant l'accès au véhicule ferroviaire difficile, notamment pour un fauteuil roulant. La zone de hauteur de plancher réduite est reliée aux autres zones de la voiture, de hauteur standard, par des rampes permettant d'éviter encore le recours à des marches particulièrement gênantes pour les voyageurs à mobilité réduite.In such cars, it is generally expected to lower the floor height of the area facing a door of the vehicle to approach closer to the height of the dock and thus avoid the presence of high steps making the access to the railway vehicle difficult, especially for a wheelchair. The reduced floor height zone is connected to the other areas of the car, of standard height, by ramps to avoid the use of steps particularly inconvenient for travelers with reduced mobility.

Cependant, les hauteurs de quais des différentes gares ne sont pas constantes et peuvent être plus ou moins importantes selon les endroits. Ainsi, même pour une voiture adaptée à l'accueil de voyageur à mobilité réduite, il est souvent nécessaire de recourir à une rampe externe et amovible reliant la zone basse de la voiture au quai afin de permettre la descente du fauteuil roulant. De telles rampes sont compliquées à mettre en oeuvre, car elles nécessitent l'intervention du personnel du train ou de la gare qui doit être prévenu à l'avance et qui doit installer la rampe rapidement pendant l'arrêt en gare, souvent court, du train.However, the platform heights of the different stations are not constant and may be more or less important depending on the location. Thus, even for a car adapted to accommodate travelers with reduced mobility, it is often necessary to use an external and removable ramp connecting the lower area of the car to the dock to allow the descent of the wheelchair. Such ramps are complicated to implement because they require the intervention of the train or station staff who must be notified in advance and who must install the ramp quickly during the station stop, often short, the train.

En outre, il n'y a généralement pas la place nécessaire pour prévoir un espace fonctionnel de logement d'équipements de la voiture sous la plate-forme basse, de sorte que la voiture en devient plus encombrante.In addition, there is generally no room to provide a functional space for housing the car's equipment under the low platform, so that the car becomes more cumbersome.

L'un des objectifs de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire facilitant l'accès aux voyageurs à mobilité réduite, depuis plusieurs hauteurs de quais possibles, sans nécessiter l'intervention du personnel du train ou de la gare, tout en permettant la disposition d'équipements fonctionnels de manière similaire à une voiture classique.One of the objectives of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a rail vehicle car facilitating access to passengers with reduced mobility, from several heights of platforms possible, without requiring the intervention of train staff or the train. station, while allowing the provision of functional equipment in a manner similar to a conventional car.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire du type précité, dans lequel la plate-forme basse est reliée auxdits niveaux de plancher haut par des rampes lorsque ladite plate-forme basse est en position haute.To this end, the invention relates to a rail vehicle car of the aforementioned type, wherein the low platform is connected to said high floor levels by ramps when said low platform is in the high position.

D'autres aspects et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la Fig. 1 est une représentation schématique en coupe d'un véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une représentation schématique de dessus du véhicule ferroviaire de la Fig. 1,
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • the Fig. 1 is a schematic representation in section of a railway vehicle according to the invention,
  • the Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of above the railway vehicle of the Fig. 1 ,

Sur les figures, on a représenté une voiture du type rame dite articulée. C'est-à-dire que les bogies représentés en extrémités sont communs à deux voitures adjacentes.Il est cependant entendu que l'invention est également applicable à des voitures comportant deux bogies en propre.In the figures, there is shown a car of the so-called hinged type. That is to say that the bogies represented at the ends are common to two adjacent cars. However, it is understood that the invention is also applicable to cars having two bogies in their own right.

Dans la description, le terme hauteur est défini par rapport aux rails sur lesquels un véhicule ferroviaire est destiné à circuler et selon une direction sensiblement verticale lorsque le véhicule est posé sur les rails.In the description, the term height is defined relative to the rails on which a railway vehicle is intended to circulate and in a substantially vertical direction when the vehicle is placed on the rails.

En référence aux Fig. 1 et 2, on décrit une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire 1, tel qu'un wagon de train, comprenant une caisse 2 formée d'un plancher 4, de parois latérales 6 et d'un plafond 8. La caisse 2 comprend au moins une porte 10 permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du véhicule ferroviaire 1. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté, la porte 10 est disposée sensiblement au centre de chaque paroi latérale de la caisse 2.With reference to Fig. 1 and 2 , a car of a railway vehicle 1, such as a train wagon, comprising a box 2 formed of a floor 4, side walls 6 and a ceiling 8. The box 2 comprises at least one door 10 allowing access to the interior of the railway vehicle 1. According to the embodiment shown, the door 10 is disposed substantially in the center of each side wall of the body 2.

La voiture repose, de façon classique, sur deux bogies 12 prévus à chaque partie extrême de la caisse 2.The car rests, in a conventional manner, on two bogies 12 provided at each end of the body 2.

Le plancher 4 comprend au moins une plate-forme intermédiaire 14 sensiblement plane. Par intermédiaire, on entend une plate-forme dont la hauteur de plancher est classique pour une voiture de véhicule ferroviaire. La hauteur de plancher de la plate-forme intermédiaire est par exemple sensiblement comprise entre 1000 mm et 1200 mm par rapport aux rails sur lesquels la voiture 1 est destinée à circuler.The floor 4 comprises at least one intermediate platform 14 substantially flat. By intermediary is meant a platform whose floor height is conventional for a rail vehicle car. The floor height of the intermediate platform is for example substantially between 1000 mm and 1200 mm with respect to the rails on which the car 1 is intended to circulate.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la Fig. 2, la plate-forme intermédiaire 14 comprend, le long d'une paroi latérale 6, une zone 16 comprenant une pluralité de sièges 18 pour l'accueil de voyageurs et, le long de l'autre paroi latérale 6 en regard de la zone 16, une zone 20 dépourvue de siège pour l'accueil de fauteuils roulants 22 pour des voyageurs à mobilité réduite. La plate-forme standard comprend en outre une zone dégagée 24 s'étendant d'une paroi latérale à l'autre et formant une zone de retournement pour les fauteuils roulants 22. Cette zone 24 facilite les manoeuvres du fauteuil roulant en offrant un grand espace dépourvu d'obstacle. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, un module toilette 25 est disposé à la même hauteur que la zone de retournement 24, facilitant les manoeuvres d'accès à ce module toilette. La plate-forme intermédiaire 14 est horizontale pour faciliter les déplacements des passagers à mobilité réduite entre la zone 20 et le module toilette 25.In the embodiment shown on the Fig. 2 , the intermediate platform 14 comprises, along a side wall 6, an area 16 comprising a plurality of seats 18 for the reception of travelers and, along the other side wall 6 opposite the area 16 , an area 20 without a seat for the reception of wheelchairs 22 for passengers with reduced mobility. The standard platform further includes an unobstructed area 24 extending from one side wall to the other and forming a turnaround area for wheelchairs 22. This area 24 facilitates wheelchair maneuvers by providing a large space without obstacle. In the embodiment shown, a toilet module 25 is disposed at the same height as the turning zone 24, facilitating maneuvers access to this toilet module. The intermediate platform 14 is horizontal to facilitate the movement of passengers with reduced mobility between the zone 20 and the toilet module 25.

Le plancher 4 comprend en outre au moins une plate-forme basse 26 disposée en regard de la porte 10 du véhicule ferroviaire 1. Par plate-forme basse, on entend que la hauteur de plancher de ladite plate-forme 26 est inférieure à la hauteur de plancher de la plate-forme intermédiaire 14. La plate-forme basse 26 est montée mobile en translation verticale de sorte à permettre de faire varier la hauteur de plancher de cette plate-forme 26. La hauteur de plancher de la plate-forme basse 26 peut par exemple varier entre sensiblement 550 mm, en position basse inférieure, et 950 mm, en position nominale haute, qui est la position adoptée par la plate-forme 26 lors du déplacement de la voiture. Ainsi, la hauteur de la plate-forme basse 26 peut être adaptée à la hauteur du quai de la gare à laquelle le train s'arrête, ce qui permet aux voyageurs à mobilité réduite de descendre ou de monter dans le véhicule ferroviaire sans recourir à une rampe externe. L'amplitude de mobilité verticale de la plate-forme basse 26 permet notamment de satisfaire l'accès à des quais dont la hauteur peut être variable d'une gare à une autre. Ces quais peuvent par exemple être de hauteur sensiblement égale à 550mm, 760mm et 840 mm.The floor 4 further comprises at least one low platform 26 arranged opposite the door 10 of the railway vehicle 1. By low platform is meant that the floor height of said platform 26 is less than the height The low platform 26 is movably mounted in vertical translation so as to make it possible to vary the floor height of this platform 26. The floor height of the low platform 26 may for example vary between substantially 550 mm, in the lower low position, and 950 mm in the high nominal position, which is the position adopted by the platform 26 during the movement of the car. Thus, the height of the low platform 26 can be adapted to the height of the platform of the station at which the train stops, which allows passengers with reduced mobility to get off or get into the rail vehicle without resorting to an external ramp. The amplitude of vertical mobility of the low platform 26 allows in particular to satisfy access to platforms whose height can be variable from one station to another. These platforms may for example be of a height substantially equal to 550 mm, 760 mm and 840 mm.

Le déplacement de la plate-forme basse 26 est commandé par des moyens d'actionnement (non représentés), comprenant par exemple au moins un vérin disposé sous la plate-forme basse 26. Les moyens d'actionnement sont commandés depuis la plate-forme basse ou depuis le quai, par exemple au moyen d'un dispositif de commande à distance du type télécommande fourni à un voyageur à mobilité réduite en gare avant son embarquement dans le train. Ainsi, le voyageur à mobilité réduite peut actionner seul le déplacement de la plate-forme basse 26 et monter ou descendre du train sans l'intervention du personnel du train ou de la gare.The displacement of the low platform 26 is controlled by actuating means (not shown), comprising for example at least one jack arranged under the low platform 26. The actuating means are controlled from the platform low or from the dock, for example by means of a remote control device of the remote control type provided to a passenger with reduced mobility station before boarding the train. Thus, the passenger with reduced mobility can operate alone the movement of the low platform 26 and up or down the train without the intervention of the staff of the train or the station.

Lorsque la voiture est en mouvement, la plate-forme basse 26 est positionnée en position nominale haute. La plate-forme intermédiaire 14 et la plate-forme basse 26 sont reliées, dans cette position nominale haute, par une rampe 28. La rampe 28 présente une pente sensiblement comprise entre 6% et 8 %. La rampe 28 permet le déplacement des voyageurs d'une plate-forme à l'autre sans marche entre les différentes hauteurs de plancher, ce qui simplifie particulièrement le déplacement d'un fauteuil roulant. Lorsque la hauteur de la plate-forme basse 26 est modifiée et que la plate-forme se trouve à une hauteur inférieure à celle de la position nominale haute, une marche est créée entre la rampe 28 et la plate-forme basse 26.When the car is in motion, the low platform 26 is positioned in the high nominal position. The intermediate platform 14 and the low platform 26 are connected, in this high nominal position, by a ramp 28. The ramp 28 has a slope substantially between 6% and 8%. The ramp 28 allows travelers to move from one platform to another without walking between different floor heights, which particularly simplifies the movement of a wheelchair. When the height of the low platform 26 is changed and the platform is at a height lower than that of the high nominal position, a step is created between the ramp 28 and the low platform 26.

Au droit des bogies 12, la voiture 1 comprend deux niveaux de plancher hauts 30 et 31 disposés respectivement au-dessus d'un bogie 12 afin de permettre le passage au-dessus de ces bogies 12 aux parties extrêmes de la voiture 1. La hauteur de ces niveaux de plancher hauts 30 et 31 est sensiblement comprise entre 1200 mm et 1300 mm par rapport aux rails.At right bogies 12, the car 1 comprises two high floor levels 30 and 31 respectively disposed above a bogie 12 to allow the passage over these bogies 12 to the end parts of the car 1. The height of these high floor levels 30 and 31 is substantially between 1200 mm and 1300 mm with respect to the rails.

Des rampes relient les niveaux de plancher hauts 30 et 31 aux plates-formes horizontales adjacentes, ces rampes faisant office de couloir. Ainsi, une rampe 32 relie la plate-forme intermédiaire 14 au niveau de plancher haut 30 et une rampe 34 relie la plate-forme basse 26, lorsqu'elle est en position nominale haute, au niveau de plancher haut 31.Ramps connect the high floor levels 30 and 31 to the adjacent horizontal platforms, these ramps serving as corridors. Thus, a ramp 32 connects the intermediate platform 14 to the high floor level 30 and a ramp 34 connects the low platform 26, when in the high nominal position, to the high floor level 31.

Ainsi, tout le véhicule ferroviaire 1 peut être traversé sans rencontrer de marche, ce qui permet aux voyageurs à mobilité réduite de passer d'une voiture à l'autre sans obstacle.Thus, the entire railway vehicle 1 can be crossed without encountering a step, which allows passengers with reduced mobility to move from one car to another without hindrance.

La longueur de ces rampes est définie afin de respecter les exigences normatives en terme d'ergonomie imposant un gradient de pente maximal en fonction de la longueur de la rampe. A ce titre, la rampe 32 présente une pente sensiblement comprise entre 6% et 8 % et la rampe 34 une pente sensiblement comprise entre 5% et 7% dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures. D'autres agencements de pentes sont possibles, moyennant le respect des normes d'accessibilité ferroviaires qui spécifient les gradients maximaux en fonction de la longueur des pentes.The length of these ramps is defined in order to meet the normative requirements in terms of ergonomics imposing a maximum slope gradient as a function of the length of the ramp. As such, the ramp 32 has a slope substantially between 6% and 8% and the ramp 34 a slope substantially between 5% and 7% in the embodiment shown in the figures. Other slope arrangements are possible, subject to compliance with railway accessibility standards that specify the maximum gradients as a function of the length of the slopes.

L'espace disponible entre les parois 6 du véhicule et les rampes 32 et 34 est préférablement muni de sièges, comme représenté sur la figure 2. Pour des raisons esthétiques et ergonomiques (altitude relative par rapport aux baies horizontales), ces sièges sont disposés à une altitude constante; ils reposent donc sur des estrades 36, présentant un angle en sifflet vis à vis des rampes 32 et 34 des couloirs. La hauteur de ces estrades 36 est sensiblement égale à la hauteur des niveaux de plancher hauts 30 et 31.The space available between the walls 6 of the vehicle and the ramps 32 and 34 is preferably provided with seats, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . For aesthetic and ergonomic reasons (relative altitude compared to horizontal bays), these seats are arranged at a constant altitude; they therefore rest on daisies 36, having a whistle angle vis-a-vis the ramps 32 and 34 of the corridors. The height of these platforms 36 is substantially equal to the height of the high floor levels 30 and 31.

Un espace fonctionnel 38 de logement d'équipements du véhicule ferroviaire s'étend sous le plancher 4 du véhicule ferroviaire. L'espace au droit de la plate-forme 26 est réservé au mécanisme de déplacement de la plate-forme. La voiture 1 permet ainsi de réaliser des économies d'espace dans les zones réservées aux passagers, en présentant un espace important sous le plancher 4, d'un bogie à l'autre, pour le logement des éléments fonctionnels.A functional space 38 of equipment housing of the railway vehicle extends under the floor 4 of the railway vehicle. The space to the right of the platform 26 is reserved for the mechanism of displacement of the platform. The car 1 thus makes it possible to save space in the areas reserved for passengers, by presenting a large space under the floor 4, from one bogie to the other, for accommodating the functional elements.

La voiture 1 décrite ci-dessus permet aux voyageurs, et notamment aux voyageurs à mobilité réduite, de monter et de descendre sans difficulté en adaptant la hauteur de la plate-forme basse 26, par où on accède au véhicule, à celle du quai et en permettant les déplacements sans obstacle entre les véhicules ferroviaires 1 du train. De plus, le déplacement de la plate-forme basse 26 est préférablement commandé par le voyageur lui-même, sans intervention du personnel du train ou de la gare. De plus, l'accès à la voiture est également facilité depuis des quai de faible hauteur, par exemple 550 mm, en adaptant la hauteur de plate-forme basse, tout en permettant le logement d'équipements fonctionnels sous la voiture.The car 1 described above allows travelers, and particularly passengers with reduced mobility, to get on and off without difficulty by adjusting the height of the low platform 26, by which the vehicle, the dock and allowing unobstructed movement between railway vehicles 1 of the train. In addition, the displacement of the low platform 26 is preferably controlled by the traveler himself, without intervention of the staff of the train or the station. In addition, access to the car is also facilitated from low platforms, for example 550 mm, by adapting the platform height low, while allowing the housing of functional equipment under the car.

La description a été faite en référence aux voyageurs se déplaçant au moyen d'un fauteuil roulant. On comprendra cependant que l'invention est également particulièrement avantageuse pour d'autres éléments sur roues, tels que des poussettes, des trolleys, etc.The description has been made with reference to travelers traveling by means of a wheelchair. It will be understood, however, that the invention is also particularly advantageous for other elements on wheels, such as strollers, trolleys, etc.
