Description

L'invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire comportant un dispositif de commande.The invention relates to a railway vehicle comprising a control device.

De façon connue, il existe des dispositifs de commande pour un véhicule ferroviaire, comportant un manipulateur de conduite pourvu d'une partie mobile, par exemple en forme de poignée préhensible et déplaçable par rapport à une partie fixe. Un tel manipulateur de conduite est par exemple destiné à un conducteur du véhicule ferroviaire, pour lui permettre de commander la chaîne de traction et/ou un système de freinage du véhicule ferroviaire. De tels dispositifs sont connus par exemple du document DE-B1-116 15 77 ou du document EP-A1-2 712 783 .In a known manner, there are control devices for a railway vehicle, comprising a driving manipulator provided with a movable part, for example in the form of a gripping handle and movable relative to a fixed part. Such a driving manipulator is for example intended for a driver of the rail vehicle, to enable him to control the traction chain and / or a braking system of the rail vehicle. Such devices are known for example from the document DE-B1-116 15 77 or document EP-A1-2 712 783 .

Généralement, cette commande est réalisée au moyen de relais électromécaniques qui sont interfacés avec des lignes électriques à basse tension du véhicule ferroviaire, ces lignes électriques étant adaptées pour commander un équipement du véhicule ferroviaire. Ces relais sont agencés au niveau d'un arbre, solidaire de la partie mobile et qui se déplace en rotation lorsque la partie mobile est déplacée. Cet arbre est pourvu de cames qui coopèrent avec les relais, de manière à modifier l'état dans lequel se trouve le relais en fonction de la position angulaire de la partie mobile.Generally, this control is carried out by means of electromechanical relays which are interfaced with low voltage electrical lines of the rail vehicle, these electrical lines being suitable for controlling equipment of the rail vehicle. These relays are arranged at the level of a shaft, integral with the movable part and which moves in rotation when the movable part is moved. This shaft is provided with cams which cooperate with the relays, so as to modify the state in which the relay is located as a function of the angular position of the moving part.

Ces dispositifs de commande connus ne donnent cependant pas entière satisfaction. En particulier, ils présentent des capacités d'évolution réduites. Notamment, l'ajout d'un relais supplémentaire nécessite une modification structurelle de l'arbre du manipulateur de conduite, car il est nécessaire d'allonger cet arbre, de manière à accommoder ce relais supplémentaire, et d'ajouter une came correspondante, pour commander ce relais supplémentaire. De plus, l'ajout de relais supplémentaires induit un encombrement excessif du manipulateur de conduite, dans la mesure où ces relais doivent nécessairement être agencés au niveau de l'arbre.However, these known control devices are not entirely satisfactory. In particular, they have reduced evolution capacities. In particular, the addition of an additional relay requires a structural modification of the shaft of the pipe manipulator, because it is necessary to lengthen this shaft, so as to accommodate this additional relay, and to add a corresponding cam, to order this additional relay. In addition, the addition of additional relays induces an excessive bulkiness of the pipe manipulator, insofar as these relays must necessarily be arranged at the level of the shaft.

En outre, ces relais ne peuvent pas facilement être reprogrammés. En effet, l'état du relais est commandé par la forme de la came liée à l'arbre, de telle sorte qu'une reconfiguration du relais nécessite de modifier la came, et donc l'arbre lui-même.Also, these relays cannot easily be reprogrammed. Indeed, the state of the relay is controlled by the shape of the cam linked to the shaft, such that a reconfiguration of the relay requires modifying the cam, and therefore the shaft itself.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention, en proposant un dispositif de commande pour un véhicule ferroviaire comportant des relais qui soient modifiables et reprogrammables de façon simplifiée tout en ayant un encombrement réduit du manipulateur de conduite.It is these drawbacks that the invention more particularly intends to remedy, by proposing a control device for a railway vehicle comprising relays which can be modified and reprogrammed in a simplified manner while having a reduced bulk for the driving manipulator.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un véhicule ferroviaire conforme à la revendication 1, comportant un équipement commandable et un dispositif de commande adapté pour piloter cet équipement, le dispositif de commande comportant :

  • un manipulateur de conduite pourvu d'une partie mobile déplaçable et
  • un relais commandé en fonction de la position du manipulateur et interfacé avec
une ligne électrique du véhicule ferroviaire.To this end, the invention relates to a railway vehicle according to claim 1, comprising controllable equipment and a control device suitable for controlling this equipment, the control device comprising:
  • a pipe manipulator provided with a movable movable part and
  • a relay controlled according to the position of the manipulator and interfaced with
an electric line of the railway vehicle.

Le dispositif de commande comporte en outre :

  • un capteur de position, couplé au manipulateur de conduite pour mesurer la position de la partie mobile, et
  • une unité de calcul programmable, raccordée au capteur de position et programmée pour commander le relais en fonction de valeurs de position de la partie mobile mesurées par le capteur de position,
chaque relais étant commandé uniquement par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de calcul programmable.The control device also includes:
  • a position sensor, coupled to the pipe manipulator to measure the position of the moving part, and
  • a programmable calculation unit, connected to the position sensor and programmed to control the relay as a function of the position values of the moving part measured by the position sensor,
each relay being controlled only by means of the programmable calculation unit.

Grâce à l'invention, les relais sont commandés par l'unité de calcul programmable en fonction des valeurs de position mesurées par les capteurs de position. Ces relais ne sont plus directement commandés par un couplage mécanique avec le manipulateur de conduite, comme c'est le cas dans l'état de la technique. De fait, grâce à l'invention, il est plus facile de reprogrammer les relais et/ou de modifier leur nombre sans avoir besoin de modifier structurellement le manipulateur de conduite et sans avoir à accroître l'encombrement de ce manipulateur de conduite.Thanks to the invention, the relays are controlled by the programmable calculation unit as a function of the position values measured by the position sensors. These relays are no longer directly controlled by a mechanical coupling with the pipe manipulator, as is the case in the state of the art. In fact, thanks to the invention, it is easier to reprogram the relays and / or to modify their number without needing to structurally modify the driving manipulator and without having to increase the size of this driving manipulator.

Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, un tel dispositif de commande peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises selon toute combinaison techniquement admissible :

  • Le dispositif de commande comporte en outre des capteurs de position additionnels couplés avec le manipulateur de conduite pour mesurer la position de la partie mobile indépendamment les uns des autres, ces capteurs de position additionnels étant raccordés à l'unité de calcul programmable.
  • Le dispositif de commande comporte en outre une unité de supervision qui contient l'unité de calcul programmable, cette unité de supervision étant dissociée physiquement du manipulateur de conduite et étant placée à distance du manipulateur de conduite.
  • Le dispositif de commande comporte plusieurs relais, l'unité de calcul programmable étant programmée pour commander chacun des relais en fonction de valeurs de position de la partie mobile mesurées par le capteur de position.
  • Le capteur de position comporte un codeur rotatif agencé pour mesurer une position angulaire de la partie mobile du manipulateur.
According to advantageous but not mandatory aspects of the invention, such a control device can incorporate one or more of the following characteristics, taken in any technically admissible combination:
  • The control device further comprises additional position sensors coupled with the pipe manipulator to measure the position of the movable part independently of each other, these additional position sensors being connected to the programmable computing unit.
  • The control device further comprises a supervision unit which contains the programmable computing unit, this supervision unit being physically separate from the driving manipulator and being placed at a distance from the driving manipulator.
  • The control device comprises several relays, the programmable computing unit being programmed to control each of the relays as a function of position values of the moving part measured by the position sensor.
  • The position sensor comprises a rotary encoder arranged to measure an angular position of the mobile part of the manipulator.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaitront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, d'un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de commande donné uniquement à titre d'exemple et fait en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel l'unique figure représente schématiquement un véhicule ferroviaire comportant un dispositif de commande conforme à l'invention.The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the light of the description which follows, of an embodiment of a control device given solely by way of example and made in reference to the appended drawing in which the single figure schematically represents a railway vehicle comprising a control device according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente un véhicule ferroviaire 2 pourvu d'un dispositif de commande 4.FIG. 1 represents a railway vehicle 2 provided with a control device 4.

Par exemple, le véhicule ferroviaire 2 est un train de passagers ou un véhicule de transport urbain tel qu'un métro ou un tramway.For example, the rail vehicle 2 is a passenger train or an urban transport vehicle such as a metro or a tram.

Le dispositif de commande 4 est adapté pour piloter au moins un équipement du véhicule ferroviaire 2. Par exemple, le dispositif 4 est configuré pour commander un équipement tel qu'une chaîne de traction et/ou un système de freinage du véhicule ferroviaire 2.The control device 4 is suitable for controlling at least one item of equipment of the rail vehicle 2. For example, the device 4 is configured to control an item of equipment such as a traction chain and / or a braking system of the rail vehicle 2.

A cet effet, le dispositif de commande 4 comporte un manipulateur de conduite 6 destiné à être utilisé par un conducteur du véhicule ferroviaire 2. Par exemple, ce manipulateur de conduite 6 est placé à l'intérieur d'une cabine de pilotage du véhicule ferroviaire 2.For this purpose, the control device 4 comprises a driving manipulator 6 intended to be used by a driver of the rail vehicle 2. For example, this driving manipulator 6 is placed inside a driver's cabin of the railway vehicle. 2.

Le manipulateur de conduite 6 est pourvu d'une partie mobile 8 et d'une partie fixe 10. La partie mobile 8 est déplaçable par rapport à la partie fixe 10. Avantageusement, la partie mobile 8 comporte une forme de poignée préhensible destinée à être déplacée à la main par le conducteur.The pipe manipulator 6 is provided with a movable part 8 and a fixed part 10. The movable part 8 is movable relative to the fixed part 10. Advantageously, the movable part 8 comprises a form of gripping handle intended to be manually moved by the driver.

La partie mobile 8 est ici montée pivotante par rapport à la partie fixe autour d'un axe d'articulation fixe X1. La partie mobile 8 est ici solidaire d'un arbre 12 aligné et mobile en rotation selon l'axe d'articulation X1.The movable part 8 is here mounted to pivot relative to the fixed part about a fixed articulation axis X1. The movable part 8 is here secured to a shaft 12 aligned and movable in rotation along the articulation axis X1.

Avantageusement, le manipulateur de conduite 6 comporte également un servomoteur 11 rotatif commandable, adapté pour exercer un couple moteur sur l'arbre 12 de manière à l'entraîner en rotation selon l'axe d'articulation X1. Par exemple, le servomoteur 11 est adapté pour exercer sur la partie mobile 8 un effort qui s'oppose au moins partiellement à l'effort exercé par un conducteur du véhicule ferroviaire 2 pour déplacer la partie mobile 8.Advantageously, the pipe manipulator 6 also comprises a controllable rotary servomotor 11, adapted to exert a motor torque on the shaft 12 so as to drive it in rotation along the articulation axis X1. For example, the booster 11 is adapted to exert on the movable part 8 a force which at least partially opposes the force exerted by a driver of the rail vehicle 2 to move the movable part 8.

Le manipulateur de conduite 6 comporte également des capteurs de position 14 et 16, pour mesurer la position du manipulateur de conduite 6, c'est-à-dire la position angulaire de la partie mobile 8 par rapport à la partie fixe 10. Par exemple, les capteurs de position 14, 16 sont couplés mécaniquement à la partie mobile 8.The pipe manipulator 6 also comprises position sensors 14 and 16, to measure the position of the pipe manipulator 6, that is to say the angular position of the movable part 8 relative to the fixed part 10. For example , the position sensors 14, 16 are mechanically coupled to the mobile part 8.

Les capteurs de positions 14 et 16 sont ici adaptés pour mesurer une position angulaire de la partie mobile 8, par rapport à une position de référence, en mesurant la rotation de l'arbre 12 autour de l'axe d'articulation X1.The position sensors 14 and 16 are here adapted to measure an angular position of the movable part 8, relative to a reference position, by measuring the rotation of the shaft 12 around the articulation axis X1.

Ici, la position du manipulateur de conduite 6 est quantifiée par une valeur de position angulaire, c'est-à-dire un angle de rotation entre la partie mobile 8 par rapport à une position de référence autour de l'axe d'articulation X1.Here, the position of the pipe manipulator 6 is quantified by an angular position value, that is to say an angle of rotation between the movable part 8 relative to a reference position around the articulation axis X1 .

En variante, le nombre de capteurs de position 14, 16 peut être différent. En particulier, il est possible de n'utiliser qu'un seul capteur de position. Par exemple, le capteur de position 16 est omis. La liaison de données 18 correspondante est alors omise.Alternatively, the number of position sensors 14, 16 can be different. In particular, it is possible to use only one position sensor. For example, position sensor 16 is omitted. The corresponding data link 18 is then omitted.

En variante également, il est possible d'utiliser d'autres capteurs de position additionnels, qui jouent le même rôle que les capteurs de position 14 et 16. Tout ce qui est décrit en référence aux capteurs de position 14 et 16 s'applique alors à ces capteurs de position additionnels.Also as a variant, it is possible to use other additional position sensors, which play the same role as the position sensors 14 and 16. All that is described with reference to the position sensors 14 and 16 then applies. to these additional position sensors.

Les capteurs de position 14 et 16 sont ici adaptés pour mesurer la position de la partie mobile 8, indépendamment l'un de l'autre. Ainsi, la mesure de la position du manipulateur de conduite 6 est réalisé de façon redondante, ce qui accroît la fiabilité du dispositif de commande 4.The position sensors 14 and 16 are here adapted to measure the position of the mobile part 8, independently of one another. Thus, the measurement of the position of the pipe manipulator 6 is carried out redundantly, which increases the reliability of the control device 4.

Par exemple, les capteurs de position 14 et 16 sont des codeurs rotatifs. De préférence, les capteurs de position 14 et 16 sont identiques.For example, position sensors 14 and 16 are rotary encoders. Preferably, the position sensors 14 and 16 are identical.

Chacun des capteurs de position 14 et 16 est raccordé électriquement, au moyen d'une liaison de données 18, à une unité de supervision 20 du dispositif de commande 4.Each of the position sensors 14 and 16 is electrically connected, by means of a data link 18, to a supervision unit 20 of the control device 4.

Par exemple, la liaison de données 18 est une liaison série de type RS422.For example, the data link 18 is a serial link of the RS422 type.

Avantageusement, dans le cas où la liaison de données 18 est susceptible d'être exposée à des perturbations électromagnétiques, les liaisons de données 18 entre les capteurs de position 14 et 16 et l'unité de supervision 20 sont réalisées avec des signaux dits inversés.Advantageously, in the case where the data link 18 is liable to be exposed to electromagnetic disturbances, the data links 18 between the position sensors 14 and 16 and the supervision unit 20 are produced with so-called inverted signals.

L'unité de supervision 20 comporte une unité de calcul programmable 22, tel qu'un microcontrôleur programmable. L'unité de calcul programmable 22 est raccordée électriquement par les liaisons 18 aux capteurs de position 14 et 16, de manière à collecter des valeurs de position de la partie mobile 8 mesurée par les capteurs de position 14 et 16.The supervision unit 20 comprises a programmable calculation unit 22, such as a programmable microcontroller. The programmable computing unit 22 is electrically connected by the connections 18 to the position sensors 14 and 16, so as to collect position values of the mobile part 8 measured by the position sensors 14 and 16.

L'unité de supervision 20 comporte également au moins un relais 24. Dans cet exemple, les relais 24 sont au nombre de cinq. En variante, leur nombre peut être différent.The supervision unit 20 also includes at least one relay 24. In this example, the relays 24 are five in number. As a variant, their number may be different.

Chaque relais 24 est configuré pour commuter entre un état actif et un état inactif en fonction d'un signal de commande, par exemple un signal électrique, qu'il reçoit sur une entrée de commande. Chaque relais 24 est en outre configuré pour être interfacé avec une ligne électrique 25 du véhicule ferroviaire 2, ici une ligne électrique à basse tension.Each relay 24 is configured to switch between an active state and an inactive state as a function of a control signal, for example an electrical signal, which it receives on a control input. Each relay 24 is further configured to be interfaced with an electrical line 25 of the rail vehicle 2, here a low voltage electrical line.

Lorsqu'un des relais 24 commute entre ses états actif et inactif, cela modifie la valeur de la tension électrique présente sur la ligne électrique 25 avec laquelle il est interfacé. De cette manière, les relais 24 pilotent le fonctionnement d'un équipement 26 ou des plusieurs équipements du véhicule ferroviaire 2.When one of the relays 24 switches between its active and inactive states, this modifies the value of the electric voltage present on the electric line 25 with which it is interfaced. In this way, the relays 24 control the operation of an item of equipment 26 or of several items of equipment of the rail vehicle 2.

En particulier, chaque relais 24 est commandé en fonction de la position du manipulateur de conduite 6. Cette commande est ici réalisée par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de calcul programmable 22, en fonction des valeurs de position de la partie mobile 8 mesurée par les capteurs de position 14 et 16. Ainsi, les entrées de commande des relais 24 sont raccordées à une interface de sortie de signaux de l'unité de supervision 20.In particular, each relay 24 is controlled as a function of the position of the driving manipulator 6. This control is here carried out by means of the programmable calculation unit 22, as a function of the position values of the moving part 8 measured by the position sensors 14 and 16. Thus, the control inputs of the relays 24 are connected to a signal output interface of the supervision unit 20.

En d'autres termes, la commande des relais 24 est réalisée au moyen d'un signal électrique émis par l'unité de calcul programmable 20. Chacun des relais 24 est commandé uniquement par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de calcul programmable 20. Ils ne sont donc pas couplés mécaniquement à la partie mobile 8 du manipulateur de conduite 6.In other words, the control of the relays 24 is carried out by means of an electrical signal emitted by the programmable computing unit 20. Each of the relays 24 is controlled only by the intermediary of the programmable computing unit 20. They are therefore not mechanically coupled to the mobile part 8 of the pipe manipulator 6.

Dans cet exemple, l'unité de calcul programmable 22 commande indépendamment chacun des relais 24, en fonction des valeurs de position de la partie mobile 8 mesurée par les capteurs de position 14 et 16.In this example, the programmable computing unit 22 independently controls each of the relays 24, as a function of the position values of the moving part 8 measured by the position sensors 14 and 16.

De préférence, l'unité de supervision 20 est dissociée physiquement du manipulateur de conduite 6 et est placée à distance du manipulateur de conduite 6. En particulier, l'unité de supervision 20 est placée à l'écart de l'arbre 12 et n'est pas couplée mécaniquement à l'arbre 12. Plus précisément, les relais 24 ne sont pas montés au niveau de l'arbre 12 et ne sont pas couplés mécaniquement avec l'arbre 12. Par exemple, lorsque le manipulateur de conduite 6 est placé à l'intérieur d'une cabine de pilotage du véhicule ferroviaire 2, l'unité de supervision 20 peut être placée en dehors de cette cabine de conduite.Preferably, the supervision unit 20 is physically separate from the pipe manipulator 6 and is placed at a distance from the pipe manipulator 6. In particular, the supervision unit 20 is placed away from the shaft 12 and n 'is not mechanically coupled to the shaft 12. More precisely, the relays 24 are not mounted at the level of the shaft 12 and are not mechanically coupled with the shaft 12. For example, when the pipe manipulator 6 is placed inside a cockpit of the rail vehicle 2, the supervision unit 20 can be placed outside this driver's cabin.

Cette disposition permet de s'affranchir des limitations des relais électromécaniques connus, couplés mécaniquement à l'arbre 12 du manipulateur de conduite 6.This arrangement makes it possible to overcome the limitations of known electromechanical relays, mechanically coupled to the shaft 12 of the pipe manipulator 6.

En particulier, les relais 24 peuvent être reconfigurés en reprogrammant l'unité de calcul programmable 22, par exemple pour modifier la correspondance entre d'une part l'état actif ou inactif du relais 24 et, d'autre part, la position mesurée du manipulateur de conduite 6.In particular, the relays 24 can be reconfigured by reprogramming the programmable computing unit 22, for example to modify the correspondence between on the one hand the active or inactive state of relay 24 and, on the other hand, the measured position of the driving manipulator 6.

De plus, le nombre de relais 24 peut être différent. En particulier, il est possible de rajouter les relais 24 supplémentaires au sein de l'unité de supervision 20 sans avoir besoin de modifier structurellement le manipulateur de conduite 6 ni d'en augmenter son encombrement.In addition, the number of relays 24 may be different. In particular, it is possible to add the additional relays 24 within the supervision unit 20 without needing to structurally modify the pipe manipulator 6 or to increase its size.

Les modes de réalisation et les variantes envisagés ci-dessus peuvent être combinés entre eux pour former de nouveaux modes de réalisation.The embodiments and the variants envisaged above can be combined with one another to form new embodiments.
