Description

La présente invention concerne une automotrice de transport de voyageurs du type comprenant :

  • deux voitures pilotes et au moins une voiture intermédiaire, lesdites voitures étant équipées d'un transformateur s'étendant sous le plancher desdites voitures,
  • au moins deux voitures complémentaires interposées entre les voitures pilotes et la voiture intermédiaire, lesdites voitures comprenant des équipements immuables disposés sous le plancher desdites voitures.
The present invention relates to a railcar for transporting passengers of the type comprising:
  • two pilot cars and at least one intermediate car, said cars being equipped with a transformer extending under the floor of said cars,
  • at least two complementary cars interposed between the pilot cars and the intermediate car, said cars comprising immutable equipment placed under the floor of said cars.

Une telle automotrice de transport de voyageurs est connue des documents EP 1 955 917 A1 ou EP 0 537 702 A1 . Dans les automotrices de ce type, les voitures reposent sur des bogies constitués de deux essieux. Par essieu, on entend de façon générale une paire de roues coaxiales d'appui sur les rails d'une voie ferrée.Such a passenger railcar is known from documents EP 1 955 917 A1 Where EP 0 537 702 A1 . In railcars of this type, the cars rest on bogies made up of two axles. By axle is generally meant a pair of coaxial bearing wheels on the rails of a railway track.

Les voitures adjacentes peuvent être articulées ou non, c'est-à-dire que l'extrémité d'une première voiture est en appui sur un bogie et que l'extrémité en vis-à-vis de la voiture adjacente repose sur l'extrémité de la première ou que chaque voiture repose sur deux bogies.Adjacent cars may or may not be articulated, i.e. the end of a first car rests on a bogie and the end facing the adjacent car rests on the end of the first or that each car rests on two bogies.

Dans les automotrices, un certain nombre d'équipements, dont des éléments formant la chaîne de traction, sont disposés sous le plancher des voitures. Il convient de répartir ces équipements de sorte à répartir au mieux les charges appliquées sur les essieux supportant les voitures.In railcars, a number of items of equipment, including elements forming the traction chain, are placed under the floor of the cars. This equipment should be distributed so as to best distribute the loads applied to the axles supporting the cars.

En effet, toutes les automotrices doivent respecter la contrainte de la charge maximale à l'essieu, dont la valeur est imposée par l'infrastructure ou par les normes applicables sur les voies où circulent ces automotrices.Indeed, all railcars must comply with the maximum axle load constraint, the value of which is imposed by the infrastructure or by the standards applicable on the tracks where these railcars run.

Dans les automotrices connues, la répartition des charges se fait en disposant au mieux les équipements sous les planchers des voitures en fonction de la constitution de ces voitures (nombre de sièges, etc.), du nombre de voitures, du nombre d'essieux.In known railcars, load distribution is effected by arranging the equipment under the floors of the cars as best as possible according to the constitution of these cars (number of seats, etc.), the number of cars, the number of axles.

Un tel mode de répartition est peu pratique puisqu'il est fait au cas par cas et oblige à prévoir des agencements sous le plancher spécifiques à chaque voiture en fonction de l'automotrice dans laquelle elle est utilisée. On obtient ainsi un grand nombre de variantes de voitures, ce qui complique la fabrication des automotrices.Such a distribution method is impractical since it is done on a case-by-case basis and requires the provision of arrangements under the floor specific to each car as a function of the railcar in which it is used. A large number of car variants are thus obtained, which complicates the manufacture of railcars.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de pallier cet inconvénient en proposant une automotrice dans laquelle le respect de la contrainte de la charge maximale à l'essieu est obtenu de façon simple en limitant le nombre de variantes d'agencements sous le plancher.One of the aims of the invention is to overcome this drawback by proposing a railcar in which compliance with the constraint of the maximum axle load is obtained in a simple manner by limiting the number of variants of arrangements under the floor. .

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une automotrice selon la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a railcar according to claim 1.

Les espaces libres permettent de recevoir des équipements qui peuvent être présents ou non, en fonction de l'automotrice, tout en prévoyant un agencement fixe des autres équipements obligatoires, sous le plancher. La disposition des équipements dans les espaces libres sur les différentes voitures est alors faite en fonction des charges déjà présentes dans la voiture afin de respecter la charge maximale à l'essieu. On obtient ainsi des agencements sous le plancher communs pour les voitures de même type en laissant une flexibilité pour la disposition des équipements supplémentaires dans les espaces libres en fonction de la contrainte de charge maximale. L'invention permet donc de standardiser les agencements sous le plancher pour chaque type de voiture tout en permettant de respecter la charge maximale à l'essieu.The free spaces make it possible to receive equipment which may or may not be present, depending on the railcar, while providing for a fixed arrangement of the other compulsory equipment, under the floor. The arrangement of the equipment in the free spaces on the various cars is then made according to the loads already present in the car in order to respect the maximum axle load. Common under-floor arrangements are thus obtained for cars of the same type, leaving flexibility for the arrangement of additional equipment in the free spaces according to the maximum load constraint. The invention therefore makes it possible to standardize the arrangements under the floor for each type of car while making it possible to comply with the maximum axle load.

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 de dessous d'une automotrice selon l'invention montrant la répartition des espaces libres sous le plancher des voitures de ladite automotrice,
  • la Fig. 2 est une représentation schématique de côté de l'automotrice de la Fig. 1, dans laquelle des équipements sont répartis dans les espaces libres des voitures.
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • the Fig. 1 is a schematic representation from below of a railcar according to the invention showing the distribution of the free spaces under the floor of the cars of said railcar,
  • the Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of the self-propelled Fig. 1 , in which equipment is distributed in the free spaces of the cars.

En référence à la Fig. 1, on décrit une automotrice 1 comprenant deux voitures pilote 2 à chaque extrémité de l'automotrice, une voiture intermédiaire 4 et des voitures complémentaires 6 disposées entre les voitures pilote 2 et la voiture intermédiaire 4. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, l'automotrice comprend en tout onze voitures, c'est-à-dire huit voitures complémentaires 6, mais il est entendu que l'invention s'applique à tout type d'automotrice comprenant au moins deux voitures complémentaires 6.With reference to the Fig. 1 , there is described a railcar 1 comprising two pilot cars 2 at each end of the railcar, an intermediate car 4 and additional cars 6 arranged between the pilot cars 2 and the intermediate car 4. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the railcar comprises eleven coaches in all, that is to say eight additional coaches 6, but it is understood that the invention applies to any type of railcar comprising at least two additional coaches 6.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, cinq voitures complémentaires 6 sont disposées entre la première voiture pilote 2 (à gauche sur les figures) et la voiture intermédiaire 4 et trois voitures complémentaires 6 sont disposées entre la voiture intermédiaire 4 et la deuxième voiture pilote 2 (à droite sur les figures).In the embodiment shown, five additional cars 6 are arranged between the first pilot car 2 (on the left in the figures) and the intermediate car 4 and three additional cars 6 are arranged between the intermediate car 4 and the second pilot car 2 ( on the right in the figures).

Comme représenté sur la Fig. 2, les voitures 2, 4 et 6 sont articulées entre elles, c'est-à-dire qu'elles reposent chacune sur deux bogies 8 communs aux voitures adjacentes, à l'exception des voitures pilote 2 qui comprennent un bogie 10 propre à leur extrémité libre. Par convention, les roues des essieux moteurs, c'est-à-dire les essieux dont le bogie comporte au moins un moteur électrique d'entraînement des roues desdits essieux, sont noircies sur la Fig. 2.As shown on the Fig. 2 , cars 2, 4 and 6 are articulated to each other, that is to say that they each rest on two bogies 8 common to the adjacent cars, with the exception of the pilot cars 2 which include a bogie 10 specific to their free end. By convention, the wheels of the driving axles, that is to say the axles of which the bogie comprises at least one electric motor for driving the wheels of said axles, are blackened on the Fig. 2 .

Les voitures pilote 2 et la voiture intermédiaire 4 portent sous le plancher un transformateur 12. Les transformateurs 12 forment des moyens d'alimentation de la chaîne de traction de l'automotrice 1.The pilot cars 2 and the intermediate car 4 carry a transformer 12 under the floor. The transformers 12 form means of supplying the traction chain of the railcar 1.

Les voitures complémentaires 6 comprennent des voitures motorisées 14, portant chacune un coffre de traction 18 disposé sous le plancher, et des voitures auxiliaires 16, portant chacune des équipements auxiliaires 20 sous le plancher. Outre ces équipements, d'autres équipements immuables sont disposés sous le plancher des voitures motorisées 14 et auxiliaires 16. Par exemple, une voiture motorisée 14 comprend un réservoir WC, un coffre Moyenne Tension, un coffre de traction, et un appareillage pneumatique et/ou électrique. Le même type d'équipements est par exemple prévu sur les voitures auxiliaires 16.The additional cars 6 include motorized cars 14, each carrying a traction box 18 arranged under the floor, and auxiliary cars 16, each carrying auxiliary equipment 20 under the floor. In addition to this equipment, other immutable equipment is placed under the floor of the motorized cars 14 and auxiliary 16. For example, a motorized car 14 comprises a WC tank, a Medium Voltage box, a traction box, and a pneumatic and / or device. or electric. The same type of equipment is for example provided on auxiliary cars 16.

Ces équipements sont fixés sous le plancher des voitures complémentaires 6 à des emplacements fixes prédéterminés de sorte à prévoir au moins un espace libre 22 sous le plancher de chaque voiture complémentaire 6. Cet espace libre 22 est destiné à recevoir une batterie 24 ou un compresseur 26 ou un équipement auxiliaire, tel qu'un coffre Haute Tension. Le nombre d'espaces libres 22 est choisi pour être supérieur au nombre d'équipements 24, 26 reçus par ces espaces libres 22 afin de permettre une flexibilité dans le choix du placement des équipements 24, 26. Par exemple, sur le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, onze espaces libres sont prévus pour permettre le positionnement de quatre batteries 24 et de deux compresseurs 26. D'autres espaces libres 22 sont en outre prévus pour la réception de coffres Haute Tension.This equipment is fixed under the floor of the complementary cars 6 at predetermined fixed locations so as to provide at least one free space 22 under the floor of each complementary car 6. This free space 22 is intended to receive a battery 24 or a compressor 26. or auxiliary equipment, such as a High Voltage box. The number of free spaces 22 is chosen to be greater than the number of devices 24, 26 received by these free spaces 22 in order to allow flexibility in the choice of the placement of the devices 24, 26. For example, in the embodiment shown in the figures, eleven free spaces are provided to allow the positioning of four batteries 24 and two compressors 26. Other free spaces 22 are also provided for receiving High Voltage boxes.

Les voitures motorisées 14 comprennent par exemple un espace libre 22 de réception d'une batterie 24. Cet espace est disposé sensiblement à une des parties extrêmes d'une voiture motorisée 14.Motorized cars 14 include, for example, a free space 22 for receiving a battery 24. This space is disposed substantially at one of the end parts of a motorized car 14.

Les voitures auxiliaires 16 comprennent par exemple deux espaces libres 22, l'un étant prévu pour recevoir une batterie 24 et l'autre pour recevoir un compresseur 26. Ces espaces libres sont disposés de part et d'autre d'un plan médian de la voiture auxiliaire 16 de sorte à répartir la charge ajoutée pour ces équipements sur les deux bogies de la voiture.Auxiliary cars 16 include for example two free spaces 22, one being designed to receive a battery 24 and the other to receive a compressor 26. These free spaces are arranged on either side of a median plane of the auxiliary car 16 so as to distribute the load added for this equipment on the two bogies of the car.

Le positionnement des équipements 24 et 26 est réalisé de sorte à respecter la contrainte de charge maximale à l'essieu en fonction de la charge déjà appliquée sur les essieux d'une voiture par les équipements immuables, par les sièges pour les passagers, etc. Etant donné que le nombre d'espaces libres est supérieur au nombre d'équipements 24 et 26, certains espaces libres peuvent être laissés vides.The positioning of the equipment 24 and 26 is carried out so as to respect the maximum axle load constraint as a function of the load already applied to the axles of a car by the immutable equipment, by the seats for the passengers, etc. Since the number of free spaces is greater than the number of equipment 24 and 26, some free spaces can be left empty.

L'invention permet de standardiser l'agencement sous le plancher des voitures complémentaires 6. En effet, cet agencement est le même pour toutes les voitures motorisées 14, seul la batterie 24 étant ou non ajoutée dans l'espace libre. Il en est de même pour les voitures auxiliaires 16. Peu de variantes de voitures doivent donc être prévues pour former l'automotrice 1. Ainsi, la production de l'automotrice est simplifiée tout en offrant une flexibilité permettant de respecter la charge maximale à l'essieu.The invention makes it possible to standardize the arrangement under the floor of the complementary cars 6. In fact, this arrangement is the same for all the motorized cars 14, only the battery 24 being added or not in the free space. The same is true for the auxiliary cars 16. Few car variants must therefore be provided to form the railcar 1. Thus, the production of the railcar is simplified while offering flexibility allowing the maximum load to be respected. 'axle.
