Description

La présente invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire, notamment un train grandes lignes, par exemple un Train à Grande Vitesse, comportant une pluralité de voitures articulées les unes avec les autres.The present invention relates to a railway vehicle, in particular a mainline train, for example a High Speed Train, comprising a plurality of cars articulated with one another.

Un exemple d'architecture de véhicule ferroviaire est décrit dans US 2 865 306 A et dans US 5 343 812 A .An example of railway vehicle architecture is described in US 2,865,306 A and in US 5,343,812 A .

Deux voitures de véhicule ferroviaire sont dites articulées entre elles lorsqu'elles comportent, à chaque extrémité, un bogie commun avec une autre voiture. En d'autres termes, le bogie commun porte deux voitures adjacentes.Two rail vehicle cars are said to be articulated to each other when they comprise, at each end, a bogie common with another car. In other words, the common bogie carries two adjacent cars.

Un véhicule ferroviaire dont toutes les voitures sont articulées, est dit à architecture articulée.A railway vehicle, all of the cars of which are articulated, is said to have articulated architecture.

Un tel véhicule ferroviaire grandes lignes à architecture articulée est assemblé en mettant dans un premier temps en place une première voiture dite voiture clé, qui est mécaniquement la première voiture du véhicule à être montée sur ses bogies.Such a mainline rail vehicle with articulated architecture is assembled by firstly putting in place a first car called a key car, which is mechanically the first car of the vehicle to be mounted on its bogies.

La première voiture clé est unique, et présente une première structure spécifique, liée à cette fonction de voiture clé.The first key car is unique, and has a first specific structure, linked to this key car function.

Deux secondes voitures sont ensuite articulées sur cette première voiture clé, chacune respectivement de part et d'autre de cette première voiture clé.Two second cars are then articulated on this first key car, each respectively on either side of this first key car.

Une pluralité d'autres secondes voitures sont enfin assemblées avec les précédentes, chacune articulée avec une seconde voiture déjà en place.A plurality of other second cars are finally assembled with the previous ones, each articulated with a second car already in place.

Les secondes voitures présentent des secondes structures similaires entre elles, et différentes de la première structure.The second cars have second structures similar to each other, and different from the first structure.

Afin de tirer avantage de ces secondes structures similaires, il est habituellement fait en sorte que toutes les secondes voitures restent similaires, pour des raisons de facilité de fabrication et d'économie. A cet effet, tous les équipements spécifiques sont habituellement agencés sur la première voiture.In order to take advantage of these second similar structures, it is usually arranged that all the second cars remain similar, for reasons of ease of manufacture and economy. For this purpose, all the specific equipment is usually fitted on the first car.

C'est notamment le cas d'une zone de restauration, qui est habituellement agencée dans la première voiture.This is particularly the case with a catering area, which is usually arranged in the first car.

On appelle zone de restauration toute la zone prévue pour la restauration des passagers, incluant :

  • une partie de préparation, dans laquelle des aliments et boissons sont stockées, préparées par une personne du service de restauration, et vendues, généralement à un bar, et
  • une partie de restauration, qui est une salle agencée spécifiquement pour la restauration, comportant des tables et/ou des sièges.
The catering area is the entire area provided for the catering of passengers, including:
  • a preparation part, in which food and drinks are stored, prepared by a person in the catering service, and sold, usually at a bar, and
  • a catering section, which is a room specially designed for catering, comprising tables and / or seats.

La présente invention a notamment pour but d'augmenter la modularité d'un tel véhicule ferroviaire à architecture articulée.The object of the present invention is in particular to increase the modularity of such a railway vehicle with articulated architecture.

A cet effet, l'invention a notamment pour objet un véhicule ferroviaire selon la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the invention is in particular a railway vehicle according to claim 1.

La présente invention va à l'encontre de la pratique de l'état de la technique, qui impose d'agencer tout équipement spécifique, dont la zone de restauration, dans la première voiture.The present invention goes against the practice of the state of the art, which requires arranging any specific equipment, including the catering area, in the first car.

L'invention prévoit de dissocier la fonction de voiture clé et la fonction de restauration, ce qui permet d'augmenter la modularité du véhicule, en proposant ou non une zone de restauration, sans que le retrait d'une telle zone de restauration n'implique de modification sur la voiture clé. Il suffit alors de remplacer une seconde voiture comportant la zone de restauration avec une seconde voiture dépourvue de zone de restauration, ou plus simplement de supprimer la seconde voiture comportant la zone de restauration, pour se défaire d'une telle zone de restauration.The invention provides for the separation of the key car function and the catering function, which makes it possible to increase the modularity of the vehicle, with or without providing a catering area, without the removal of such a catering area having to do with it. involves modification on the car key. It is then sufficient to replace a second car comprising the catering area with a second car without a catering area, or more simply to remove the second car comprising the catering area, to get rid of such a catering area.

Un véhicule ferroviaire selon l'invention peut comporter en outre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises seules ou selon toutes combinaisons techniquement envisageables.

  • La première voiture clé comporte au moins une zone de passagers et/ou au moins une zone technique.
  • La première voiture clé comporte au moins une zone technique comprenant notamment un groupe froid domestique et/ou un groupe de climatisation.
A railway vehicle according to the invention can also include one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in any technically conceivable combination.
  • The first key car has at least one passenger area and / or at least one technical area.
  • The first key car comprises at least one technical zone comprising in particular a domestic cooling unit and / or an air conditioning unit.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication selon la revendication 6.The invention also relates to a manufacturing method according to claim 6.

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 à la figure annexée, représentant schématiquement et partiellement un véhicule ferroviaire à architecture articulée selon un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which will follow, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended figure, schematically and partially showing a railway vehicle with articulated architecture according to an exemplary embodiment. of the invention.

On a représenté, sur la figure, un véhicule ferroviaire 10 selon un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention.There is shown, in the figure, a railway vehicle 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

Le véhicule ferroviaire 10 est un train grandes lignes, notamment un Train à Grande Vitesse. Ce véhicule peut aussi être un train régional ou un train de banlieue.The rail vehicle 10 is a mainline train, in particular a High Speed Train. This vehicle can also be a regional train or a commuter train.

Le véhicule ferroviaire 10 comporte une première voiture 12 unique, dite première voiture clé, présentant une première architecture.The rail vehicle 10 comprises a first single car 12, called the first key car, having a first architecture.

La première voiture clé 12 s'étend dans une direction longitudinale entre deux premières extrémités 14, chacune portée par un bogie respectif 16.The first key car 12 extends in a longitudinal direction between two first ends 14, each carried by a respective bogie 16.

La première architecture comprend, à chaque première extrémité 14, des moyens de support 18 pour une seconde voiture adjacente 20. Ainsi, la première architecture est globalement symétrique.The first architecture comprises, at each first end 14, support means 18 for an adjacent second car 20. Thus, the first architecture is generally symmetrical.

En fonction du mode de réalisation envisagé, la première voiture clé 12 présente indifféremment un ou deux étages.Depending on the embodiment envisaged, the first key car 12 has either one or two floors.

Dans tous les cas, la première voiture clé 12 comporte au moins une zone de passagers 22 et/ou une zone technique 24.In all cases, the first key car 12 comprises at least one passenger area 22 and / or one technical area 24.

La zone technique 24 est destinée à recevoir un maximum d'équipement technique spécifique, c'est-à-dire unique pour le véhicule 10 et ne se retrouvant pas dans la plupart des voitures du véhicule 10. Par exemple, la zone technique 24 comporte notamment un groupe froid domestique et/ou un groupe de climatisation, etc.The technical zone 24 is intended to receive a maximum of specific technical equipment, that is to say unique for the vehicle 10 and not found in most of the cars of the vehicle 10. For example, the technical zone 24 comprises in particular a domestic cooling unit and / or an air conditioning unit, etc.

Dans le cas d'une voiture clé 12 à deux étages, la zone passagers 22 s'étend avantageusement sur le niveau supérieur ainsi que sur le niveau inférieur, et comporte aussi dans ce cas une zone d'accueil des passagers à mobilité réduite. Cette zone est spécifique et unique pour le véhicule 10.In the case of a key car 12 with two floors, the passenger area 22 advantageously extends over the upper level as well as the lower level, and also in this case comprises a reception area for passengers with reduced mobility. This zone is specific and unique for the vehicle 10.

Il est à noter que la première voiture clé 12 est dépourvue de zone de restauration. Ainsi, les fonctions de restauration et de voiture clé sont dissociées.It should be noted that the first key car 12 does not have a catering area. Thus, the functions of catering and key car are separated.

Le véhicule ferroviaire 10 comporte par ailleurs, une pluralité de secondes voitures 20, présentant des secondes architectures similaires entre elles et différentes de la première architecture.The rail vehicle 10 also comprises a plurality of second coaches 20, having second architectures similar to each other and different from the first architecture.

Chaque seconde voiture 20 s'étend dans une direction longitudinale entre deux secondes extrémités 26, chacune portée par un bogie 16 respectif.Each second car 20 extends in a longitudinal direction between two second ends 26, each carried by a respective bogie 16.

Chaque bogie 16 est commun à deux première 12 ou seconde 20 voitures adjacentes. En d'autres termes, les voitures 12, 20 sont toutes articulées entre elles. Le véhicule ferroviaire 10 est dit à architecture articulée.Each bogie 16 is common to two first 12 or second 20 adjacent cars. In other words, the cars 12, 20 are all hinged to one another. The rail vehicle 10 is said to have an articulated architecture.

La seconde architecture de chaque seconde voiture 20 comprend, à l'une de ses secondes extrémités 26, des moyens 28 de support pour une autre seconde voiture 20 adjacente, et à l'autre de ses secondes extrémités 26, des moyens 30 de liaison avec des moyens de support 18, 28 de la première 12 ou de l'une des secondes 20 voiture adjacente. Ainsi, la seconde architecture est globalement asymétrique.The second architecture of each second car 20 comprises, at one of its second ends 26, means 28 of support for another adjacent second car 20, and at the other of its second ends 26, means 30 for connection with support means 18, 28 of the first 12 or one of the adjacent second 20 car. Thus, the second architecture is globally asymmetric.

Tous les moyens de liaison 30 sont liés à des moyens de support 18, 28 respectifs.All the connection means 30 are linked to respective support means 18, 28.

Avantageusement, l'une des secondes voitures 20 comporte une zone de restauration 32. Par exemple, cette seconde voiture 20 comportant la zone de restauration 32 est adjacente à la première voiture clé 12.Advantageously, one of the second cars 20 comprises a restoration zone 32. For example, this second car 20 comprising the restoration zone 32 is adjacent to the first key car 12.

Toute la zone de restauration 32 est prévue pour la restauration des passagers, et inclut une partie de préparation, dans laquelle des aliments et boissons sont stockées, préparées par une personne du service de restauration, et vendues, généralement à un bar, et une partie de restauration, qui est une salle agencée spécifiquement pour la restauration, comportant des tables et/ou des sièges.The entire catering area 32 is provided for catering to passengers, and includes a preparation part, in which food and drinks are stored, prepared by a person from the catering service, and sold, usually at a bar, and a part catering, which is a room specially designed for catering, comprising tables and / or seats.

Les autres secondes voitures 20 comportent chacune au moins une salle de passagers 22.The other 20 second cars each have at least one passenger room 22.

Les secondes voitures 20 sont indifféremment à un ou deux étages, en fonction du mode de réalisation envisagé.The second cars 20 are indifferently with one or two floors, depending on the embodiment envisaged.

On notera que le véhicule ferroviaire ne comporte qu'une zone de restauration, agencée dans une seconde voiture 20, distincte de la première voiture clé 12.It will be noted that the rail vehicle has only one catering area, arranged in a second car 20, separate from the first key car 12.

Ainsi, dans le cas où une zone de restauration n'est pas souhaitée, cette seconde voiture 20 comportant la zone de restauration 32 peut être supprimée, ou remplacée par une seconde voiture 20 comportant au moins une salle de passagers 22. On obtient dans ce cas un véhicule ferroviaire 10 dépourvu de toute zone de restauration, mais conservant une première voiture clé 12 inchangée.Thus, in the event that a catering area is not desired, this second car 20 comprising the catering area 32 can be eliminated, or replaced by a second car 20 comprising at least one passenger room 22. In this case, we obtain case of a rail vehicle 10 without any catering area, but keeping a first key car 12 unchanged.

On notera que le véhicule ferroviaire 10 comporte avantageusement également des troisièmes voitures d'extrémité (non représentées), présentant une troisième structure différente des première et seconde structures. Ces troisièmes voitures d'extrémité sont généralement des voitures motrices, comportant chacune au moins une chaine de motorisation. Ces troisièmes voitures d'extrémité comportent par ailleurs de manière classique chacune une cabine de conduite.It will be noted that the rail vehicle 10 advantageously also comprises third end cars (not shown), having a third structure different from the first and second structures. These third end cars are generally drive cars, each comprising at least one motorization chain. These third end cars also conventionally each have a driver's cabin.

Le véhicule ferroviaire 10 décrit ci-dessus est fabriqué au cours d'un procédé de fabrication qui va maintenant être décrit.The rail vehicle 10 described above is manufactured in a manufacturing process which will now be described.

Le procédé de fabrication comporte la réalisation de la première voiture clé 12, présentant une première structure, et dépourvue de zone de restauration.The manufacturing process comprises the production of the first key car 12, having a first structure, and devoid of a catering area.

Le procédé comporte ensuite la mise en place de la première voiture clé 12, sur les bogies 16 correspondant.The method then comprises placing the first key car 12 on the corresponding bogies 16.

Cette première voiture clé 12 est alors utilisée comme voiture clé pour l'assemblage du véhicule 10, de manière connue en soi.This first key car 12 is then used as a key car for assembling the vehicle 10, in a manner known per se.

Ainsi, le procédé comporte la liaison de la première voiture clé 12 avec deux secondes voitures 20, respectivement de part et d'autre de cette première voiture clé 12, en reliant les moyens de liaison 30 de ces secondes voitures 20 avec les moyens de support 18 de la première extrémité 14 respective de la première voiture clé 12.Thus, the method comprises the connection of the first key car 12 with two second cars 20, respectively on either side of this first key car 12, by connecting the connecting means 30 of these second cars 20 with the support means. 18 of the respective first end 14 of the first key car 12.

Le procédé comporte ensuite, de manière classique, l'ajout d'une pluralité de secondes voitures 20, chacune reliée à une autre seconde voiture 20. Ces secondes voitures 20 sont ajoutées de bout en bout en partant de la première voiture clé 12, chaque fois en reliant les moyens de liaison 30 de ces secondes voitures 20 avec les moyens de support 18, 28 de la voiture adjacente.The method then comprises, in a conventional manner, the addition of a plurality of second cars 20, each connected to another second car 20. These seconds cars 20 are added from end to end starting from the first key car 12, each time by connecting the connecting means 30 of these second cars 20 with the support means 18, 28 of the adjacent car.

Cet assemblage est effectué en montant chaque seconde voiture sur deux bogies 16, chaque bogie 16 étant commun à deux voitures adjacentes.This assembly is carried out by mounting each second car on two bogies 16, each bogie 16 being common to two adjacent cars.

Le procédé comporte enfin l'ajout des troisièmes voitures d'extrémités. Ces troisièmes voitures d'extrémité sont chacune montée sur un bogie commun 16 respectif, et un bogie propre (non représenté).The method finally comprises the addition of the third end cars. These third end cars are each mounted on a respective common bogie 16, and its own bogie (not shown).

On notera que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, et pourrait présenter diverses variantes sans sortir du cadre des revendications.It will be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and could have various variants without departing from the scope of the claims.

En particulier, la première voiture clé 12 pourrait présenter d'autres aménagements, tant qu'elle ne comporte pas de zone de restauration.In particular, the first key car 12 could have other arrangements, as long as it does not include a catering area.
