Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hinge assembly for movably supporting a component, in particular a trim element, on a vehicle, having a component-side first hinge part and a vehicle-side second hinge part.
  • the first hinge part and the second hinge part thereto are configured to cooperate to define a first end position and a second end position of the component different from the first end position.
  • the first hinge part and the second hinge part are further configured to define an instantaneous rotational axis of the component when moving between the first end position and the second end position.
  • the first hinge part has a first hinge portion which is hook-shaped in a plane perpendicular to the instantaneous rotational axis, the first hinge portion having a first outer surface and a first inner surface forming a first cavity.
  • the first joint section is inserted into a second cavity of the second hinge part such that a second inner surface of the second hinge part forming the second cavity supports the first hinge part against the direction of the weight force over the first outer surface of the first joint section.
  • the invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle with such a hinge arrangement.
  • Rail vehicles typically house a number of vehicle components, such as components of propulsion equipment, air conditioning or other auxiliary equipment, in separate equipment compartments of the vehicle. In many cases, this is done in so-called underfloor containers, which must be closed to protect the vehicle components against unauthorized access, damage and contamination, but must be accessible, for example, for maintenance of the vehicle components. The same applies to such equipment compartments in the interior of the vehicle.
  • Such equipment compartments are therefore often closed by lockable and pivotable flaps or trim elements whose movement is guided by corresponding hinge arrangements.
  • Such hinge assemblies often include a cylindrical axis element, which defines the axis of rotation of the cladding element, as for example from FR 2,140,938 A is known.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the region of such hinge assemblies typically a comparatively large gap between the cladding element and the adjacent part of the vehicle is present, which usually requires an additional seal.
  • such hinge assemblies can be solved only comparatively complex to remove the trim element as needed from the vehicle.
  • the electric multiple units of the series "Regina" the applicant come for the lateral flaps of the underfloor container generic hinge assemblies used.
  • a web with (in the plane perpendicular to the instantaneous axis of rotation) comparatively low height and slightly curved cross section is inserted into a correspondingly adapted groove of a rail on the vehicle structure at the lower edge of the closure flap.
  • the web and the associated rail define as the first and second hinge part the instantaneous rotational axis of the closure flap.
  • Another hinge arrangement is from the FR 1.158.092 known.

  • the present invention solves this problem starting from the features according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the present invention is based on the technical teaching that with a simple design of a generic hinge assembly can achieve a large swing angle between the first end position and a second, open end position in which the hinged component is held solely on the hinge assembly itself on the vehicle when the Both hinge parts are each designed such that they are transferred during pivoting of the component in a hooked state in which engage the hinge parts in each case in the cavity of the other hinge part.
  • the weight of the component in the second end position can be added without additional effort by the operator and / or other tools (for example, additional holding elements or the like) alone by the two hinge parts.
  • a design is realized in which the component is hooked on the first hinge part in the second hinge part and thus suspended from this.
  • the hinge parts can be designed so that the hooking is done automatically, ie without additional aids or additional effort by the operator, simply when pivoting the component. In this case, the operator may only have to make sure that the component does not move too quickly from the first end position to the second end position by a moderate speed of the component during pivoting in order to avoid dynamic forces resulting from too high accelerations of the component, due to which the mutual engagement of the hinge parts could be solved.
  • the second hinge part simple sealing of the hinge arrangement (possibly without further sealing means) can be realized.
  • the pivot angle between the two end positions is preferably 90 ° to 220 °, more preferably 120 ° to 180 °, more preferably 140 ° to 160 °.
  • the component can also remain on the vehicle in the second end position and does not have to be held in addition (by the operator or other aids).
  • the first end position is typically a position in which the component is in a normal position during operation of the vehicle, while the second end position is typically an access or maintenance position in which the component itself and / or a space sealed by them, for example, for maintenance or the like, is freely accessible.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a hinge arrangement for movably supporting a component, in particular a trim element, on a vehicle, having a component-side first hinge part and a vehicle-side second hinge part.

  • the contact in the region of the first and second contact portions 106.6, 107.6 thus serves as a trigger for the transfer into the interlocked engagement.
  • a particularly simple, reliable and automatic transfer is achieved in the entangled engagement of the two hinge parts 106 and 107.
  • the arrangement of the second contact section 107.6 at the free end 107.2 of the second hook section 107.1 is particularly advantageous since the release for transferring into the interlocked engagement takes place in the immediate vicinity of the interlocking areas.
  • the first outer surface 106.3 and the second inner surface 107.4 contact each other at the first swivel angle SW1 over a surface contact area FKB extending in a plane perpendicular to the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1 between a first outermost contact point KP1 and a second outermost contact point KP2.
  • the first outermost contact point KP1 is assigned to the free end 106.2 of the first joint section 106.1, while the second outermost contact point KP2 is assigned to a flap-side (or component-side) end of the first joint section 106.1.
  • the connecting line VL extends between the first outermost contact point KP1 and the second outermost contact point KP2 on a side of the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1 facing the surface contact region FKB.
  • the connecting line VL extends between the first outermost contact point KP1 and the second outermost contact point KP2 on a side of the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1 facing the surface contact region FKB.
  • the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1 can then suddenly change its position in a simple manner in order to move the (into the FIGS. 3 and 4 recognizable) transferring into the interlocked engagement of the two hinge parts 106, 107 to achieve.
  • a contact force FK acts on the first hinge section 106 perpendicular to the connecting line VL (the contact points KP1, KP2). extending force component FKP, which points from the second inner surface 107.4 to the first outer surface 106.3.
  • This orientation of the contact force FK supports in Advantageously, the transfer in the entangled engagement of the two hinge parts 106, 107th
  • second end position EP2 of the flap 104 is defined in the present example by a stop.
  • the first hinge part 106 comprises a first stop element 106.7, which cooperates in the second end position EP2 to limit movement of the flap 104 with a second stop element 107.7 of the second hinge part 107 to substantially further pivoting the flap 104 beyond the second end position EP2 to prevent.
  • the first stop element 106.7 is spatially associated with the free end 106.2 of the first joint section 106.1 such that a gap 106.8 is formed between the free end 106.2 of the first joint section 106.1 and the first stop element 106.7.
  • the pivoting of the flap 104 in the second end position EP2
  • the free end 107.2 of the second hinge portion 107.1 in this gap 106.8 a is the pivoting of the flap 104 (in the second end position EP2), the free end 107.2 of the second hinge portion 107.1 in this gap 106.8 a.
  • the gap 106.8 is preferably as narrow as possible (in the plane perpendicular to the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1), in order to protect the region of the hinge arrangement 105 against soiling during operation of the vehicle 101 (hence, in the first end position EP1).
  • the narrowest possible gap in terms of the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle 101, in particular the noise is advantageous.
  • the first stop element 106.7 continues the outer top surface 104.5 of the flap 104 substantially kink-free, the first stop element 106.7 forms an edge termination outer top surface 104.5 at the lower edge 104.1 of the flap 104. Again, this is particularly advantageous from an aerodynamic point of view.
  • the opening 107.8 of the second cavity 107.5 is chosen so large that the first hinge part 106 is fixed starting from the first end position EP1 via a Fixtechniksschwenkwinkel Scheme FWB against removal from the second cavity 107.5.
  • the Fixtechniksschwenkwinkel Scheme FWB is in the present example about 0 ° to 75 °. at In other variants, the fixing swivel angle range FWB may be 0 ° to 70 °, preferably 0 ° to 60 °, more preferably 0 ° to 45 °,
  • the flap 104 at or from a certain pivot angle, namely a removal angle EW, which marks the end of the Fixtechniksschwenkwinkel Kunststoffs FWB (thus, therefore, about 75 °), be solved by the vehicle 101.
  • This release can be done without significant additional effort to release the connection (on the inclusion of the weight of the flap 104 addition).
  • the first hinge part 106 can be removed from the second cavity 107.5 essentially free of forcing via a removal pivot angle range EWB.
  • the removal pivot angle range EWB lies between the removal angle EW and the second end position EP2.
  • removal swivel angle range EWB can basically begin at any position.
  • the removal pivot angle range EWB extends (starting from the first end position) over a pivot angle of 80 ° to 120 °, preferably 85 ° to 110 °, more preferably 90 ° to 100 °.
  • a further sealing of the hinge arrangement 105 can be dispensed with.
  • a sealing device for at least partially sealing a contact gap between the first outer surface 106.3 and the second inner surface 107.4 may be provided in the first end position EP1, as shown in FIG FIG. 1 indicated by the contour 108.
  • the sealing device 108 can basically act at any suitable location.
  • the sealing device 108 preferably comprises a sealing element 108 acting between the first hinge part 106 and the second hinge part 107.
  • the sealing device 108 comprises a sealing force increasing section which becomes effective in the region of the first end position EP1 and which, in the first end position EP1, increases a contact force between the first outer surface 106.3 and the second inner surface 107.4 with respect to the contact force before the sealing force increasing section takes effect.
  • This can basically be done in any suitable way.
  • the Dichtkrafterhöhungsabites is by an undersize of the second inner surface 107.4 relative to the first outer surface 106.3 realized, which is present in the first end position EP1 in the region of a free end 106.2 of the first joint portion 106.1.
  • the flap 104 in the region of the hinge assembly 105 along the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1 has a length dimension L, while the first hinge part 106 and the second hinge part 107 along the instantaneous axis of rotation 105.1 over substantially the entire length of the flap 104, thus over in Substantially 100% of the length L extend.
  • the first hinge part 106 and / or the second hinge part 107 extend over 20% to 100%, preferably 50% to 100%, more preferably 80% to 100%, of the length dimension of the component.
  • first hinge part 106 and / or the second hinge part 107 are formed in the form of single, continuous component. In certain variants, however, the first hinge part 106 and / or the second hinge part 107 may comprise at least two segments spatially separated by a gap along the instantaneous rotational axis 105.1.
  • the components of the hinge assembly 105 may, in principle, be manufactured in any suitable manner by any manufacturing method from any suitable materials, typically metal or composite materials.
  • the production is particularly simple, since the first hinge part 106 comprises a first extruded profile, which forms the first cavity 106.5 and the second hinge part 107 comprises a second extruded profile, which forms the second cavity 107.5.
  • the first hinge part 106 may be monolithic with part of the flap 104, as in the present example.
  • the first hinge part 106 may be formed by at least one detachably connectable to the rest of the flap 104 element which, for example, in the region of the parting line 104.4 (see FIG. 1 ) is attached to the flap 104.
  • the second hinge part 107 is further formed by a releasably connectable to the structure of the car body 102 element.
  • the present invention has been described above solely with reference to an underfloor container of a rail vehicle, it is understood that it can also be used in other compartments of a rail vehicle, in particular compartments in the interior of the vehicle, in which a corresponding cladding element is used, for example, it may be the component to a shutter for a device compartment or the like in the interior of the vehicle.
  • the component may be any other passive component of the vehicle or may itself be an active component of the vehicle (for example an electrical and / or hydraulic and / or pneumatic component of the vehicle) which must be moved between the two end positions.
