In den Figuren werden der Übersicht halber für identische oder vergleichbare Komponenten stets dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet.For the sake of clarity, the same reference numbers are always used in the figures for identical or comparable components.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in einer dreidimensionalen Darstellung schräg von der Seite einen Abschnitt eines Fahrzeugdachs 11 eines nicht weiter dargestellten Fahrzeugs 10. Bei dem Fahrzeug 10 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Schienenfahrzeug handeln.The Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional representation obliquely from the side of a portion of a vehicle roof 11 of a vehicle 10 not shown. The vehicle 10 can be, for example, a rail vehicle.

Das Fahrzeugdach 11, das einen Abschnitt der Außenhaut des Fahrzeugs 10 bildet, ist mit einer Öffnung 20 versehen, durch die elektrische Leiter, die im Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 des Fahrzeugs 10 angeordnet sind, hindurch nach außen zu einer außenliegenden und auf dem Fahrzeugdach 11 befindlichen elektrischen Schnittstelle 40 geführt werden können. Aus Gründen der Übersicht ist in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 1 lediglich ein einziger elektrischer Leiter durch die Öffnung 20 hindurchgeführt; dieser Leiter ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 30 gekennzeichnet.The vehicle roof 11, which forms a section of the outer skin of the vehicle 10, is provided with an opening 20, through which electrical conductors, which are arranged in the vehicle interior 12 of the vehicle 10, to the outside to an external electrical interface located on the vehicle roof 11 40 can be performed. Out For the sake of clarity, the illustration is in accordance with Figure 1 only a single electrical conductor is passed through the opening 20; this conductor is identified by reference number 30.

Bei der elektrischen Schnittstelle 40 handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine Steckverbindung, insbesondere offene Steckverbindung, die zum Schutz vor äußeren Einflüssen innerhalb eines Schnittstellengehäuses 50 angeordnet ist.The electrical interface 40 is preferably a plug connection, in particular an open plug connection, which is arranged within an interface housing 50 for protection against external influences.

Um im Falle eines Fahrzeugbrandes im Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 einen ausreichenden Schutz der elektrischen Schnittstelle 40 zu gewährleisten, ist bei dem Fahrzeug 10 gemäß Figur 1 zwischen der elektrischen Schnittstelle 40 und dem Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 eine Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 vorgesehen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 ist die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 vom Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 aus gesehen vor der Öffnung 20 im Fahrzeugdach 11 angeordnet, wodurch die Öffnung 20 und damit die Schnittstelle 40 von dem Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 abgeschottet werden.In order to ensure adequate protection of the electrical interface 40 in the event of a vehicle fire in the vehicle interior 12, the vehicle 10 according to FIG Figure 1 A fire protection device 60 is provided between the electrical interface 40 and the vehicle interior 12. In the embodiment according to Figure 1 The fire protection device 60, as seen from the vehicle interior 12, is arranged in front of the opening 20 in the vehicle roof 11, as a result of which the opening 20 and thus the interface 40 are partitioned off from the vehicle interior 12.

Im Falle eines Fahrzeugbrandes wird die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 einen brandbedingten Ausfall der elektrischen Schnittstelle 40 verzögern und somit die Funktion der mit dem elektrischen Leiter 30 verbundenen Betriebskomponente des Fahrzeugs 10 verlängern. Handelt es sich bei der Betriebskomponente um eine für die Fahrfähigkeit des Fahrzeugs 10 relevante bzw. notwendige Betriebskomponente, so wird die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 - im Falle eines Fahrzeugbrandes im Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 - die Fahrfähigkeit des Fahrzeugs 10 in vorteilhafter Weise signifikant verlängern.In the event of a vehicle fire, the fire protection device 60 will delay a fire-related failure of the electrical interface 40 and thus extend the function of the operating component of the vehicle 10 connected to the electrical conductor 30. If the operating component is an operating component that is relevant or necessary for the drivability of the vehicle 10, the fire protection device 60 - in the event of a vehicle fire in the vehicle interior 12 - will advantageously significantly extend the driveability of the vehicle 10.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 umfasst die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 ein Mineralwollelement 61, vorzugsweise in Form eines Steinwollelements, sowie ein zusätzliches Schottblech, das in der Figur 1 nicht näher dargestellt ist und erst im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 3 weiter unten näher erläutert wird. Der elektrische Leiter ist vorzugsweise durch das Mineralwollelement 61 hindurchgezogen.In the embodiment according to Figure 1 The fire protection device 60 comprises a mineral wool element 61, preferably in the form of a rock wool element, and an additional bulkhead plate, which in the Figure 1 is not shown in detail and only in connection with the Figure 3 is explained in more detail below.

Die Funktion des Schottblechs 62 besteht darin, das Mineralwollelement 61 vom Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 und damit vor der unmittelbaren Brandeinwirkung eines im Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 auftretenden Brands zu schützen und somit die Brandschutzwirkung der Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 insgesamt zu erhöhen.The function of the bulkhead plate 62 is to protect the mineral wool element 61 from the vehicle interior 12 and thus from the direct fire effect of a fire occurring in the vehicle interior 12 and thus to increase the overall fire protection effect of the fire protection device 60.

Das Schottblech 62 besteht vorzugsweise aus Metall: Im Falle eines Schottblechs aus Stahl wird eine Blechdicke von mindestens 1 mm als vorteilhaft angesehen; im Falle eines Aluminiumblechs wird eine Blechdicke von mindestens 3 mm als vorteilhaft angesehen.The bulkhead sheet 62 is preferably made of metal: in the case of a steel bulkhead sheet, a sheet thickness of at least 1 mm is considered advantageous; in the case of aluminum sheet, a sheet thickness of at least 3 mm is considered advantageous.

Die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 ist bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 3 vor der Öffnung 20 in der Außenhaut des Fahrzeugs 10 angeordnet; alternativ ist es möglich, die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 unmittelbar in der Öffnung 20 zu positionieren.The fire protection device 60 is in the embodiment according to the Figures 1 to 3 arranged in front of the opening 20 in the outer skin of the vehicle 10; alternatively, it is possible to position the fire protection device 60 directly in the opening 20.

Durch die bei dem Fahrzeug 10 gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 3 vorgesehene Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 lässt sich erreichen, dass die außerhalb des Fahrzeugs 10 angeordnete Schnittstelle 40 über mindestens 15 Minuten (besonders bevorzugt über mindestens 30 Minuten) ihre elektrische Funktion, insbesondere ihre Isolationsfähigkeit zwischen den Kontakten im Falle einer offenen Steckverbindung, aufrechterhält und damit gewährleistet, dass die mit dem elektrischen Leiter elektrisch verbundene Betriebskomponente des Fahrzeugs 10 für diese Zeitspanne von mindestens 15 Minuten (besonders bevorzugt von mindestens 30 Minuten) auch während eines Fahrzeugbrands im Fahrzeuginnenraum 12 betriebsfähig bleibt.By the in the vehicle 10 according to the Figures 1 to 3 The provided fire protection device 60 can ensure that the interface 40 arranged outside the vehicle 10 maintains its electrical function, in particular its insulation ability between the contacts in the case of an open plug connection, for at least 15 minutes (particularly preferably over at least 30 minutes) and thus ensures that the operating component of the vehicle 10 electrically connected to the electrical conductor remains operational for this period of at least 15 minutes (particularly preferably of at least 30 minutes) even during a vehicle fire in the vehicle interior 12.

Handelt es sich bei der Betriebskomponente um eine für die Fahrfähigkeit des Fahrzeugs 10 notwendige Betriebskomponente, so wird durch die Brandschutzeinrichtung 60 die Fahrfähigkeit des Fahrzeugs 10 für die genannten Zeitspannen entsprechend verlängert.If the operating component is an operating component necessary for the drivability of the vehicle 10, the fire protection device 60 extends the drivability of the vehicle 10 accordingly for the periods of time mentioned.
