Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for monitoring an emergency device in a rail vehicle, a rail vehicle with such a device, and a method for monitoring an emergency device in a rail vehicle.
  • Rail vehicles have emergency facilities for emergency situations, such as fire or accidents. Examples of this are emergency hammers for breaking windows, emergency brake levers, self-rescuers (gas/smoke masks), emergency intercoms, emergency ladders and fire extinguishers for extinguishing fires.
  • emergency facilities are often the target of misuse or theft. In a real emergency, the necessary emergency facilities are then no longer available because they have been stolen, damaged or unusable. For the driver and for service technicians, there is an increased effort to monitor and ensure the completeness and functionality of the emergency facilities, which is a problem in particular in a longer rail vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide improved monitoring of emergency facilities in rail vehicles.
  • an emergency facility or several emergency facilities are coupled or connected to a central information transmission facility or data transmission facility of the rail vehicle.
  • a central information transmission device or data transmission device preferably extends over the entire rail vehicle and can preferably communicate with external transmitters and receivers.
  • An example of a central information transmission device is a vehicle controller or a vehicle data bus system, which will be discussed below.
  • one or more identical or different emergency facilities can be coupled to the central information transmission facility and monitored centrally. This coupling can be done individually for the emergency facilities or combined for several emergency facilities.
  • An emergency facility can, for example, be coupled to the central information transmission facility via at least one intermediate module.
  • Several emergency facilities can be coupled to the central information transmission facility via a combination unit to which several emergency facilities are connected.
  • the emergency devices are provided with a monitoring device which, when the status of an emergency device changes, transmits a signal to the central information transmission device of the rail vehicle, with which signals or data can be transmitted over the entire rail vehicle, and preferably also to the outside.
  • a change in status is the removal of the emergency facility.
  • the signal relating to the emergency device can then be evaluated in different ways and at different locations, for example by a driver, in a control center or in an emergency reporting center.
  • the signaling or its evaluation can reveal that abuse has occurred.
  • a misuse signal can be sent to the driver, for example, so that countermeasures can be initiated.
  • Signaling can also take the form of an alarm intended to deter an abuser.
  • the signaling or its evaluation can show that the device was used unintentionally or accidentally, for example by children.
  • the signaling or its evaluation can also show that there is a real emergency.
  • the signal when the signal is localized and assigned to a specific emergency facility, it can be determined where an emergency has occurred. For example, when a fire extinguisher is removed and operated, it can be determined in which part of the rail vehicle this took place and rescue measures can be carried out in a targeted manner. If a removal of the emergency equipment is signaled to a control center or emergency center, targeted measures can be taken.
  • the invention specifies a device for monitoring emergency equipment in a rail vehicle, having the features of claim 1.
  • the vehicle control includes in particular the control system or the control technology of the rail vehicle.
  • the control system takes on control, monitoring and diagnostic functions in the rail vehicle.
  • the signal can therefore be transmitted from the monitoring device to the control system of the rail vehicle.
  • the transmission can take place directly to the vehicle control or indirectly via one or more intermediate modules or combination units.
  • a transmission can take place by means of a combined signal for several identical or different elements.
  • the monitoring device is coupled to the vehicle control.
  • several emergency devices are coupled via one or more monitoring devices to a summarization unit, which in turn is coupled to the vehicle controller.
  • the combination unit bundles signals from several monitoring devices and a combined transmission to the vehicle control takes place.
  • the vehicle controller has a rail vehicle communication network to which the signal can be transmitted from the monitoring device or the combination unit.
  • the rail vehicle communication network has in particular one or more data bus systems, for example at least one vehicle bus and/or at least one train bus.
  • the signal from the monitoring device can be transmitted to such a bus system or one or more buses directly or via a combination unit.
  • the emergency facility can be any facility that can be deployed in an emergency of the rail vehicle, such as an accident or fire, to respond to the emergency.
  • the emergency facility is an emergency facility that can be actively removed by a person, in particular an emergency hammer, a fire extinguisher, a first-aid kit, a smoke or breathing mask, a self-rescuer (gas/smoke mask), or an emergency ladder.
  • An emergency hammer can be accommodated, for example, in the area of a window, in particular on an interior lining, for example a window pillar lining.
  • An emergency hammer can be combined with another emergency device, for example an emergency brake lever.
  • the emergency hammer can be released by operating the emergency brake lever.
  • An emergency hammer can be coupled to a voice device, for example a microphone, via which emergency calls can be made to the driver or a control center or a fire alarm control panel.
  • a fire extinguisher can be placed in a passenger compartment, for example, in the middle or in the rear.
  • An example placement is behind a hatch in a closet or cavity, or in a wheel well.
  • the monitoring device is a switch or sensor, in particular a motion sensor.
  • Switches can be mechanical switches, magnetic switches or electronic switches. For example, a switching process can be triggered when an emergency hammer is removed.
  • a fire extinguisher can be monitored in an analogous manner, for example with a sensor or switch on the fire extinguisher.
  • a flap or door, behind which a fire extinguisher is arranged can be monitored with a sensor, for example, with a signal being generated by the sensor when the flap is opened.
  • the term “removal” is to be interpreted in such a way that it also includes the preparation for the removal of the emergency facility.
  • An example is the opening of a flap behind which a fire extinguisher is arranged, which indicates an intention to remove it, even if the fire extinguisher has not yet been removed at the time the flap is opened.
  • the actuation of a locking, storage or fastening device for an emergency device e.g. opening a locking flap or door, is attributed to the process of removing the emergency device.
  • the signal transmission device can have one or more cables.
  • the signal transmission device is radio-based, ie it transmits radio signals.
  • the signaling device can be set up to emit optical and/or acoustic signals.
  • An optical signal can be represented by a lamp, an LED or a display, for example.
  • An acoustic signal can be emitted in the form of a signal tone, in particular in the form of an alarm tone.
  • the signaling device can be set up to output a signal to the driver of the rail vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, the signaling device can be set up to output a signal to a control center and/or emergency reporting center.
  • the signal can be a local alarm and/or a remote alarm.
  • the emergency facility that is removed can be located locally and, in one embodiment, can be determined according to its type. Determinability according to the type means that it is determined whether, for example, an emergency hammer, a fire extinguisher or another possible emergency device is removed. Local determinability means that it can be determined at which location on the rail vehicle the emergency equipment is removed. This information can be shown on a display by a signaling device, for example.
  • the device for monitoring the emergency device also has an image capture device which is assigned to the emergency device and which is set up to capture an image or a film of the emergency device when it is removed.
  • An example of an image capture device is a camera.
  • one or more emergency hammers, fire extinguishers, etc. can be located in the recording area of a camera.
  • An image or a film is at least captured, preferably also recorded and/or transmitted to another location, for example to a driver, a control center or an emergency reporting center.
  • the image capturing device is coupled to the monitoring device, the vehicle control and/or the signaling device, for example by a signal transmission device as described above or another signal transmission device that can be wireless or cable-based.
  • the invention relates to a rail vehicle which has a device as described above.
  • rail vehicles are trams, suburban trains, subways, local trains and long-distance trains.
  • track-bound vehicles such as people movers.
  • the invention relates to a method for monitoring an emergency device in a rail vehicle, having the features of claim 7.
  • the device can be supplemented by one or more fire alarm units.
  • a fire alarm unit can be a fire and/or smoke alarm, for example, which can be integrated into the system.
  • the device according to the invention can have a fire alarm unit whose signal can be integrated into the device.
  • the signal is processed in the same way as with the other, actively actuated emergency facilities.
  • the signal from the fire alarm unit for example an electrical signal, can be transmitted to the vehicle controller. Triggering of the fire alarm unit can be signaled by the signaling device.
  • the device according to the invention for monitoring an emergency device in a rail vehicle comprises, for example, two emergency hammers 2, 3 and a fire extinguisher 4.
  • the emergency hammer 2 is coupled to a monitoring device 5, for example via a switch 6, which is opened when the emergency hammer 2 is removed. whereby the monitoring device 5 is triggered or a signal is generated in the monitoring device 5.
  • the emergency hammer 3 is coupled to the monitoring device 7 via a switch 8 .
  • the coupling means 6, 8, here in the form of switches, can alternatively be designed differently and also in a very simple manner.
  • the coupling means 6, 8 can be thin contact wires that break when the emergency hammer 2 or 3 is removed, or pushbuttons that trigger when the emergency hammer 2 or 3 is removed or are transferred to the non-pressed state.
  • the inventive monitoring of the operation of a closure or storage facility for the emergency facility is in the figure 1 Not shown.
  • a fire extinguisher 4 is located behind a flap 9, for example in a cabinet inside the rail vehicle.
  • the flap 9 can, for example, be provided with a magnet 10 which is monitored by a sensor 11 .
  • the magnet 10 is moved and a signal is triggered in the sensor 11 .
  • the monitoring devices 5, 7, 11 are connected to the vehicle controller 15 via signal transmission devices 12, 13, 14, in the specific example to a data bus system 16 of the vehicle controller 15. However, the signals can also be combined in a dedicated combining unit and then transmitted together to the vehicle controller become.
  • Two respirators 30, 31 are each coupled to a monitoring unit 32, 33. The signals from the monitoring units are transmitted to the combining unit 36 via signal transmission devices 34, 35. From there, a signal for both devices 30, 31 is transmitted to the vehicle controller 15 via a further signal transmission device 37.
  • the data bus system 16 extends over one or more rail vehicles or rail vehicle parts, preferably over an entire train.
  • a plurality of signaling devices are coupled or connected to the data bus system 16 .
  • a signaling device 17 is a display in a driver's cab of the rail vehicle, on which a status message for each individual emergency device 2, 3, 4 can be displayed.
  • a status message can be displayed both in the basic state of an emergency facility 2, 3, 4, ie when it is placed at the intended location and ready for use.
  • a corresponding message can be displayed or the message of the basic state can be changed.
  • the display 17 can also show the location of the rail vehicle at which the relevant emergency device 2, 3, 4 is located. This localization can be very detailed.
  • the status message on the display 17 can also indicate what type of emergency equipment is involved, such as an emergency hammer or fire extinguisher.
  • the display 17 is connected to the vehicle controller 15 in particular the data bus 16 of the vehicle controller via a wired transmission device 18 .
  • a signal from the vehicle controller 15 can also be transmitted via radio waves 19 to a signaling device 20 which is arranged outside the rail vehicle, for example in a control center or in an emergency reporting center. Once a signal has been received from an emergency device 2, 3, 4 or has been actuated, the driver can be consulted there, or suitable measures can be taken directly.
  • FIG. 1 shows another signaling device 21 in the form of a loudspeaker.
  • An audio signal is emitted by the loudspeaker, which is also coupled to the data bus 16 via a transmission device 22, if, for example, the flap 9 of the fire extinguisher 4 is opened.
  • the flap 9 of the fire extinguisher 4 is opened.
  • two image capturing devices 23, 24 in the form of cameras are also shown, which are coupled to the vehicle controller 15 via transmission means 25, 26.
  • the fire extinguisher 4 or the flap 9, behind which the fire extinguisher 4 is stored, is located in the detection area of the camera 24.
  • the camera 24 is activated and records an image or a film of the event.
  • the image or film from the camera 24 can also be transmitted to the signaling device 17, the display in the driver's cab, or to the signaling device 20, the display in a control center or emergency reporting center. This allows the situation inside the vehicle to be better assessed.
  • the emergency hammers 2, 3 are both in the detection range of the camera 23, which is designed to rotate and pivot, for example.
  • each individual emergency facility 2, 3 can be assigned a camera.
  • FIG. 1 shows 1 also a fire alarm device in the form of a fire alarm 27, which is actuated when one of the emergency devices 2, 3, 4 is removed or actuated, or can independently detect a fire or smoke development.
  • the fire detector 27 can, for example, trigger a light and/or sound signal.
  • the signal from the fire detector 27 can be integrated into the device in such a way that its signal is transmitted to the vehicle controller 15 . Accordingly, one or more of the signaling devices 17, 20, 21 can signal that the fire alarm has been triggered.
