Description

La présente invention concerne les véhicules ferroviaires automoteurs à deux niveaux constituant les rames de trains deux niveaux.The present invention relates to two-level self-propelled rail vehicles constituting two-level train trains.

EP 0 642 964 A1 divulgue de tels véhicules. EP 0 642 964 A1 discloses such vehicles.

Ce type de véhicules qui existent depuis plusieurs années présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients critiqués par les usagers:

  • les sièges haut et bas ne sont accessibles que par des escaliers ce qui est gênant pour les poussettes et les handicapées qui souhaitent accéder à ces sièges,
  • le nombre de places est insuffisant,
  • la hauteur sous plafond est faible et donc pénalisante pour les grands gabarits,
  • la circulation inter véhicule est malaisée,
  • la visibilité est mauvaise dans les rames, il est difficile de voir si des places sont libres ou non, et les zones confinées sont propices aux agressions.
This type of vehicle that has existed for several years has a number of disadvantages criticized by users:
  • the high and low seats are only accessible by stairs which is inconvenient for strollers and disabled people who wish to access these seats,
  • the number of places is insufficient,
  • the ceiling height is low and therefore penalizing for large size,
  • inter-vehicle traffic is difficult,
  • Visibility is poor in the oars, it is difficult to see if places are free or not, and confined areas are conducive to aggression.

La réglementation impose par ailleurs un certain nombre de contraintes concernant la hauteur des rames qui est limitée à 4,32 mètres et le passage en courbe qui lie la largeur et la longueur du véhicule. Ainsi pour un entre axe entre deux boggies de 20 mètres la largeur ne pourra pas excéder 2,806 mètres, si on souhaite élargir le véhicule il faudra réduire sa longueur d'où une réduction du nombre de places par véhicule.The regulation also imposes a certain number of constraints concerning the height of the trains which is limited to 4.32 meters and the passage in curve which links the width and the length of the vehicle. Thus for a between axis between two bogies of 20 meters the width can not exceed 2.806 meters, if you want to expand the vehicle will reduce its length resulting in a reduction in the number of seats per vehicle.

L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un véhicule ferroviaire à la fois plus large, plus logeable, plus aéré, plus accessible tout en conservant le même nombre de boggies et une rame aussi longue que les rames classiques à deux niveaux, voire plus longue.The object of the present invention is to provide a rail vehicle that is both wider, more habitable, more airy, more accessible while maintaining the same number of boggies and a train as long as conventional double-deck trains, or more long.

Les véhicules ferroviaires selon l'invention sont selon la revendication 1. Des caractéristiques optionnelles figurent dans les revendications 2 à 8. Le positionnement du boggie entre deux véhicules permet de réduire le nombre de boggies tout en augmentant le nombre de véhicules dans une rame, il est ainsi possible pour une longueur donnée de réduire l'entraxe des boggies, ce qui permet d'augmenter la largeur des véhicules tout en respectant les normes de passages en courbe.The railway vehicles according to the invention are according to claim 1. Optional features are in claims 2 to 8. The positioning of the bogie between two vehicles makes it possible to reduce the number of boggies while increasing the number of vehicles in a train, it is thus possible for a given length to reduce the center distance of the bogies, which makes it possible to increase the width of the vehicles. vehicles while respecting the standards of curve crossing.

Une disposition en trois rangées des sièges du haut qui oblige à la création de deux couloirs de circulation, est rendue possible par l'élargissement du véhicule et permet un couloir d'une hauteur de 2 mètres. Cette disposition du second niveau permet de placer la rangée centrale au dessus du couloir de circulation du bas et de la rehausser sur un bossage en forme de chapeau de gendarme afin d'augmenter la hauteur du couloir du bas qui peut alors être haut de 2 mètres. Le relèvement des sièges n'est possible qu'en partie centrale, car le plafond du deuxième étage est arrondi sur les bords ce qui interdit de rehausser les sièges sur les cotés, les usagers n'auraient alors pas suffisamment de hauteur sous plafond. La rame peut contenir à la fois de bogies moteurs et des bogies porteurs.A layout in three rows of the upper seats which requires the creation of two corridors of traffic, is made possible by the widening of the vehicle and allows a corridor with a height of 2 meters. This arrangement of the second level allows to place the central row above the lower circulation corridor and to raise it on a boss shaped cocked hat to increase the height of the corridor down which can then be up to 2 meters . The raising of the seats is only possible in central part, because the ceiling of the second stage is rounded on the edges which prohibits to raise the seats on the sides, the users would not have enough height under ceiling. The train may contain both motor bogies and carrier bogies.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la rangée du milieu du deuxième niveau est décalée dans le sens de la longueur par rapport aux rangées latérales du même niveau. Les sièges latéraux sont fixés sur les montants de baie afin d'avoir une bonne visibilité sur l'extérieur quand on est assis, les sièges de la rangée du milieu sont fixés directement sur le plancher et leur position surélevée permet de les décaler longitudinalement par rapport aux sièges latéraux sans réduire leur visibilité. Cette position présente par ailleurs l'avantage de favoriser la circulation dans les couloirs, car le fait que les deux sièges qui bordent le couloir ne soient pas face à face permet à l'usager de s'effacer plus facilement s'il croise un usager venant en sens inverse.According to a complementary feature, the middle row of the second level is shifted lengthwise with respect to the side rows of the same level. The side seats are fixed to the jambs in order to have good visibility on the outside when sitting, the seats in the middle row are fixed directly to the floor and their raised position allows them to be offset longitudinally relative to each other. at the side seats without reducing their visibility. This position also has the advantage of promoting traffic in the corridors, because the fact that the two seats which line the corridor are not face to face allows the user to fade more easily if he cross a user coming in the opposite direction.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la longueur du véhicule est d'environ 14,5 mètres. Cette longueur est un bon compromis car elle permet une largeur de 3,01 mètres au lieu de 2,806 mètres pour un véhicule classique tout en respectant les normes de passage en courbe et en limitant le nombre de véhicules sur la rame pour une longueur donnée.According to a particular characteristic, the length of the vehicle is approximately 14.5 meters. This length is a good compromise because it allows a width of 3.01 meters instead of 2.806 meters for a conventional vehicle while respecting the standards of passage curve and limiting the number of vehicles on the train for a given length.

Selon l'invention, la largeur d'intercirculation entre véhicules est au minimum égale à 60% de celle du véhicule. La visibilité entre les véhicules est ainsi grandement améliorée.According to the invention, the gangway width between vehicles is at least equal to 60% of that of the vehicle. The visibility between the vehicles is thus greatly improved.

Selon l'invention, l'accès au deuxième niveau est réalisé par deux escaliers. L'augmentation de la largeur du véhicule combiné avec le décalage des couloirs haut et bas permet l'implantation de deux escaliers au lieu d'un ce qui favorise à la fois la circulation des passagers et améliore la visibilité puisque les couloirs n'ont pas d'obstacle sur leur parcours.According to the invention, access to the second level is achieved by two stairs. The increase in the width of the vehicle combined with the shift of the high and low corridors allows the establishment of two stairs instead of one which promotes both the movement of passengers and improves visibility since the corridors have not obstacle on their course.

Selon une variante, chaque escalier est dépourvu de contremarche. La suppression de la contremarche ou, éventuellement sa réalisation avec une matière transparente, améliore la visibilité et permet plus facilement d'identifier les places libres.According to one variant, each staircase is devoid of risers. The removal of the riser or, possibly its realization with a transparent material, improves the visibility and makes it easier to identify the free places.

Selon l'invention, l'accès au premier niveau de la passerelle d'entrée est réalisé par une pente. L'accès aux places assises du premier niveau est ainsi possible aux handicapés sur fauteuil roulant et aux poussettes. Il est également possible de réaliser l'entrée du premier niveau par deux marches.According to the invention, access to the first level of the input gateway is achieved by a slope. Access to the first-level seats is thus possible for disabled wheelchairs and strollers. It is also possible to make the entry of the first level by two steps.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la pente est inférieure à 17%. L'inclinaison réglementaire pour l'accès aux handicapés est inférieure à 17%, la pente répond ainsi aux normes en vigueur.According to a complementary feature, the slope is less than 17%. The legal inclination for access to the disabled is less than 17%, the slope meets the standards in force.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les équipements de tractions sont placés en extrémité de rame. Le déplacement des zones d'équipements vers un local situé à l'avant de la rame permet de dégager les inter circulations entre les véhicules et donc faciliter l'écoulement des passagers.According to another characteristic, the traction equipment is placed at the end of the train. Moving equipment areas to a room located at the front of the train allows to clear inter-traffic between vehicles and thus facilitate the flow of passengers.

Selon une autre caractéristique, il n'y qu'une porte d'accès à doubles battants sur chaque véhicule. Les véhicules étant plus courts, il n'est plus nécessaire de prévoir deux portes par véhicule, ce qui permet de garder plus de places assises.According to another characteristic, there is only one double-leaf access door on each vehicle. Vehicles being shorter, it is no longer necessary to provide two doors per vehicle, which allows to keep more seating.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue des conditions de passage en courbe des trains,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale et en vue de dessus d'un véhicule de l'état de la technique,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale d'un véhicule selon l'invention,
  • le figure 4 est une vue en coupe transversale et en vue de dessus de chaque niveau d'un véhicule selon l'invention,
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe transversale du véhicule à la hauteur des portes d'accès,
  • la figure 6 est une vue en perspective de l'intérieur du véhicule coté entrée,
  • la figure 7 est une vue en perspective de l'intérieur du véhicule coté couloir.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a view of the curve conditions of trains,
  • the figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view and a top view of a vehicle of the state of the art,
  • the figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a vehicle according to the invention,
  • the figure 4 is a cross-sectional view and a top view of each level of a vehicle according to the invention,
  • the figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle at the height of the access doors,
  • the figure 6 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle on the entry side,
  • the figure 7 is a perspective view of the interior of the vehicle side aisle.

Par simplification, les mêmes éléments seront référencés avec le même numéro. Les véhicules ferroviaires 1 sont équipé d'au moins un boggie 2, une porte d'entrée 3.For simplicity, the same elements will be referenced with the same number. The rail vehicles 1 are equipped with at least one bogie 2, an entry door 3.

Comme on le voit à la figure 2, les véhicules 1 de l'état de la technique à deux étages 10 et 11 dans lesquels sont disposés des sièges 4. L'accès aux différents étages se fait par des escaliers 5 et 6. L'escalier 5 permet d'accéder au deuxième étage 11, tandis qu e l'escalier 6 permet l'accès au niveau bas 10. Le couloir 7 de chacun de s niveaux 10 et 11 est situé au milieu du véhicule 1 alors que les escaliers 5 et 6 sont placés de part et d'autre de l'axe central A d u véhicule 1, cela oblige à décaler la première rangée de sièges 4 afin de permettre aux passagers de rejoindre le couloir central 7 sans être gênés par lesdits sièges 4.As we see in figure 2 , vehicles 1 of the state of the art two-stage 10 and 11 in which are arranged seats 4. Access to the different floors is by stairs 5 and 6. The stairway 5 provides access to the second floor 11, while the staircase 6 allows access to the low level 10. The corridor 7 of each of the levels 10 and 11 is located in the middle of the vehicle 1 while the stairs 5 and 6 are placed on either side of the central axis A of the vehicle 1, this forces to shift the first row of seats 4 to allow passengers to join the central corridor 7 without being impeded by said seats 4 .

Le véhicule 1 de l'état de la technique est équipé de deux boggies 2. Comme visible à la figure 2 le fait d'avoir deux boggies 2 sur un même véhicule réduit la zone où on peut installer deux niveaux dans ledit véhicule.The vehicle 1 of the state of the art is equipped with two boggies 2. As visible in the figure 2 having two trucks 2 on the same vehicle reduces the area where two levels can be installed in said vehicle.

Ledit véhicule de l'état de la technique a également deux portes 3 afin de permettre l'entrée et la sortie des passagers lors des arrêts en gare. Le nombre de portes 3 est déterminé par une distance minimum entre deux portes afin de permettre l'écoulement rapide des usagers et de limiter ainsi le temps d'arrêt en gare. Compte tenu de la longueur du véhicule de l'état de la technique, il est nécessaire de prévoir au moins deux portes 3.Said vehicle of the state of the art also has two doors 3 to allow the entry and exit of passengers during stops in the station. The number of doors 3 is determined by a minimum distance between two doors to allow the rapid flow of users and thus limit the downtime in the station. Given the length of the vehicle of the state of the art, it is necessary to provide at least two doors 3.

Les zones d'équipement de traction 8 sont placées de part et d'autre du véhicule 1 au dessus des boggies 2. Ces équipements 8 sont placés de préférence au dessus des boggies car il n'est pas possible de mettre deux niveaux dans cette zone dont la hauteur est limitée et où les boggies empêchent de descendre le plancher 100.The traction equipment zones 8 are placed on either side of the vehicle 1 above the bogies 2. This equipment 8 is preferably placed above the bogies because it is not possible to put two levels in this zone. whose height is limited and where the boggies prevent down the floor 100.

La figure 1 illustre la norme pour le passage en courbe des véhicules ferroviaires 1. Pour une courbe d'un rayon R, sachant que la zone Z ne doit pas être dépassée, un wagon ou véhicule 1 dont les boggies ont un entre axe d'une longueur d1 la largeur ne pourra pas excéder L1, un véhicule plus court avec un entre axe de longueur d2 pourra être d'une largeur L2 > L1.The figure 1 illustrates the standard for the curve crossing of railway vehicles 1. For a curve of radius R, knowing that the zone Z must not be exceeded, a wagon or vehicle 1 whose bogies have a center distance of a length d 1 the width can not exceed L 1 , a shorter vehicle with an axis between length d 2 may be of a width L 2 > L 1 .

Les véhicules 1 selon l'invention tel qu'illustré à la figure 3, on constate que les boggies 2 sont placés entre deux wagons ou véhicules 1 sauf bien entendu pour le véhicule de tête et celui de queue. La zon e neutralisée à cause du boggie est donc moins importante proportionnellement que sur un véhicule classique à deux boggies.The vehicles 1 according to the invention as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 , we see that the boggies 2 are placed between two wagons or vehicles 1 except of course for the leading vehicle and the tail. The zon e neutralized because of the boggie is therefore less important proportionally than on a conventional vehicle with two bogies.

Les zones d'équipements de traction 8 sont placées sur les véhicules 1a d'extrémités de rame, ce qui dégage totalement le passage dans les véhicules intermédiaires 1b. Les autres équipements 81, tel que la climatisation, sont placés en haut ou en bas.The traction equipment zones 8 are placed on the rowing end vehicles 1a, which completely releases the passage in the intermediate vehicles 1b. Other equipment 81, such as air conditioning, are placed at the top or bottom.

De la même façon, il n'y a qu'une porte double 3 par véhicule 1, ce qui laisse proportionnellement plus de places pour les sièges 4.In the same way, there is only one double door 3 per vehicle 1, which proportionally leaves more seats for the seats 4.

L'élargissement du véhicule 1 permet la constitution de deux couloirs hauts 7b au lieu d'un sur les niveaux hauts des véhicules classiques. Les sièges 4 du niveau haut sont répartis en trois rangées deux latérales 40 et un centrale 41. Cette rangée centrale 41 est placée au dessus du couloir bas 7a, afin d'augmenter la hauteur de ce couloir 7a le plancher 110 du niveau haut est surélevé 112 au-dessous des sièges 41. La forme bombée du plafond 111 autorise cette surélévation 112 du plancher et donc des sièges centraux 41, tandis que les sièges latéraux 40 doivent rester bas.The widening of the vehicle 1 allows the constitution of two high corridors 7b instead of one on the high levels of conventional vehicles. The seats 4 of the high level are divided into three rows two lateral 40 and a central 41. This central row 41 is placed above the low corridor 7a, to increase the height of this corridor 7a the floor 110 of the high level is raised 112 below the seats 41. The domed shape of the ceiling 111 allows this elevation 112 of the floor and therefore the central seats 41, while the side seats 40 must remain low.

L'entrée dans le véhicule 1 tel qu'illustrée figure 5, se fait par des portes 3, le quai 9 est la plus part du temps plus élevé que le plancher 14 de la plate-forme, une pente 140 est donc prévue en face de chaque porte 3The entry into the vehicle 1 as illustrated figure 5 , is made by doors 3, the platform 9 is most of the time higher than the floor 14 of the platform, a slope 140 is therefore provided in front of each door 3

Les accès aux différents niveaux est visibles figures 3, 6 et 7.Access to the different levels is visible figures 3 , 6 and 7 .

L'accès au niveau bas 10 est fait par un plancher en pente 101 qui part de la plate-forme du coté de la porte 3 et qui rejoint le plancher 100. Comme on le voit à la figure 4, le plancher en pente 101 n'existe que sur la partie correspondant au couloir 7a et non sous les sièges 4.The access to the low level 10 is made by a sloping floor 101 which starts from the platform on the side of the door 3 and reaches the floor 100. As can be seen in FIG. figure 4 , the sloping floor 101 exists only on the part corresponding to the corridor 7a and not under the seats 4.

Le figure 7 illustre un exemple d'aménagement de cette zone d'accès au niveau bas: le plancher en pente 101 est bordé d'une rampe 102 et des sièges 4 sont disposés le long de la paroi latérale 13 du véhicule 1. Une partie de ces sièges 4 peuvent être des strapontins. Cette disposition est particulièrement favorable à l'accès des handicapés et des poussettes.The figure 7 illustrates an example of development of this access zone at low level: the sloping floor 101 is bordered by a ramp 102 and seats 4 are arranged along the side wall 13 of the vehicle 1. Part of these seats 4 can be folding seats. This provision is particularly favorable to the access of disabled persons and strollers.

L'accès au niveau haut 11 se fait par un jeu de deux escaliers 5. Ces escaliers 5 sont placés dans le prolongement de chacun des couloirs de circulation haute 7b. Ces escaliers 5 encadrent l'entrée de la partie basse 10 qui peut être constituée soit, conformément à l'invention, d'un escalier 50 soit d'un plancher en pente 101. La surélévation 112 contribue à favoriser l'utilisation d'une pente 101 douce pour l'accès aux handicapés qui limite la pente à 17% maximum.Access to the high level 11 is by a set of two stairs 5. These stairs 5 are placed in the extension of each of the high traffic corridors 7b. These stairs 5 frame the entrance of the lower part 10 which may be constituted either according to the invention, a staircase 50 or a sloped floor 101. The elevation 112 helps to promote the use of a Gentle slope 101 for disabled access that limits the slope to 17% maximum.

Comme visible figure 3 les sièges centraux 41 sont décalés par rapport aux sièges latéraux 40.As visible figure 3 the central seats 41 are offset relative to the side seats 40.
