Definitions

  • Railway vehicles advantageously have an access device comprising a vertically movable access platform and a movable passage between the platform and a fixed floor of the vehicle.
  • the platform is movable vertically with respect to the floor in order to adjust to the height of the platform for the loading and unloading phases and, in the vehicle circulation phase, to place the same height the platform and the floors.
  • Such a device allows people with reduced mobility to access the vehicle from docks of different heights independently, but also to be able to circulate throughout the railway vehicle.
  • the document FR2918339 or EP 2011 714 describes a railway vehicle comprising such a platform movable vertically relative to the body, associated with a movable ramp connecting the access platform and the fixed floor of the passenger compartment.
  • the inclination of the ramp varies with the vertical movements of the access platform.
  • adjusting the height of the platform to the height of the platform can induce a large vertical displacement of the platform, reflected by a steep slope of the ramp.
  • the technical specifications for interoperability recommend a maximum slope of 12%. In order to meet these specifications, the length of the ramp must be quite large and may require the removal of seats in the ends of the passenger compartment.
  • US5,316,432 describes a device forming both a staircase and an elevator but not allowing the connection between a mobile platform and a floor, especially when they are at the same level.
  • the size of the vehicle access device for people with reduced mobility is therefore too important.
  • the invention thus aims to propose a rail vehicle with an access device that allows people with reduced mobility to access / leave the vehicle from / to docks of different heights, independently, while having a small footprint and without causing a risk of falls.
  • the object of the invention is a railway vehicle of the aforementioned type, such that the or each movable passage comprises at least one moving step between, on the one hand, an intermediate position, comprised between the high position and the low position of the platform, and on the other hand, the high position of the platform. In the up position, the or each step is aligned with the floor and the mobile platform.
  • the railway vehicle 1 illustrated on the figure 1 comprises a box 3 defining an access space 6.
  • the box 3 comprises a lower part 4.

  • the device also comprises movable passages 21 and 22 visible in detail on the Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the movable passageway 21 makes the junction between the floor 15 and the mobile platform 18 and the movable passageway 22 connects the floor 16 to the mobile platform 18.
  • these movable passages form a planar or ascending / descending path whose line greater slope extends along the length of the vehicle.
  • the passages 21 and 22 are symmetrical to one another with respect to a transverse plane of the vehicle. In another embodiment, the passages 21 and 22 are shifted.
  • the movable passage 21 (respectively 22) between the mobile platform 18 and the fixed floor 15 (respectively 16) comprises two movable steps 24 and 25 (respectively 27 and 28), or more than two steps.
  • Handrails 30 adapted to persons with reduced mobility are fixed on vehicle walls on either side of the mobile passages 21 and 22.
  • passage 21 In the following, only the passage 21 will be described in detail, the passage 22 being structurally and kinematically identical to the passage 21.
  • the access device comprises a drive system 29, visible on the figure 4 , having two pairs of beams 31 and 31 '. Each pair of beams 31 and 31 'is articulated in scissors and placed below the platform 18, between the body 3 of the vehicle and the platform 18.
  • An actuator not shown, is connected between the beams of the same pair for ensure their approximation or their separation. This actuator is for example pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric. In case of failure or lack of energy, the actuator is manually operable in degraded mode.
  • the moving steps 24 and 25 are carried by drive means 32.
  • These drive means 32 are here a drive gantry comprising two parallel links 33A and 33B.

  • the platform 18 With reference to the figure 4 when the platform 18 is in the high position P1, the platform 18 is aligned with the floor 15, 16. The train is then either in circulation or at a standstill.
  • the platform 18 When the platform 18 is in the low position P2, the platform 18 is misaligned with the floor 15, 16.
  • the step 24, respectively 25, is in an intermediate position Pi1, respectively Pi2, the intermediate positions Pi1, Pi2 , being between the high position P1 and the low position P2.
  • the train is then in a situation of embarkation / disembarkation.
  • the steps 24, 25 are guided in vertical translation during their movements.
  • the vertical translation guidance is provided by the support of the transverse contact surfaces, between the riser 24C of the step 24 and the edge 25D of the step 25, between the slices 24D of the step 24 and the slice 15C of the floor 15 and between the riser 25C of the step 25 and the edge 18D of the platform 18.
