Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Wagenkasten für ein Schienenfahrzeug, ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einem Wagenkasten, sowie ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Schienenfahrzeuges.The present invention relates to a car body for a rail vehicle, a rail vehicle with a car body, and a method for controlling a rail vehicle.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind unterschiedliche Arten von Bedienpulten und Steuerungen für Schienenfahrzeuge bekannt. So zeigt beispielsweise die DE 8502804 ein Bedienpult, welches im Inneren eines Wagenkastens verschiebbar ist. Alternativ ist das Bedienpult direkt an einer Durchgangstüre des Wagenkastens befestigt, so dass das Bedienpult mit Aufschwenken der Türe einen Durchgang für Passagiere freigibt. Weiterhin umfasst das Bedienpult einen Stuhl für einen Fahrer und steuert als Hauptsteuerung den gesamten Zug.Different types of control panels and controls for rail vehicles are known from the prior art. For example, the UK 8502804 a control panel, which can be moved inside a car body. Alternatively, the control panel is attached directly to a passage door of the car body, so that the control panel opens a passage for passengers when the door is swung open. Furthermore, the control panel includes a chair for a driver and controls the entire train as the main control.

Diese bekannte Vorrichtung weist unter anderem den Nachteil auf, dass die Türe nur geschlossen werden kann, wenn das Bedienpult sich ebenfalls im Durchgangsbereich für die Passagiere befindet. Weiterhin ist das Bedienpult nicht aus der Reichweite der Passagiere entfernbar und belegt viel Platz im Innenraum des Wagenkastens. Ein Manipulieren der Bedienelemente, die am Bedienpult angebracht sind, bleibt jederzeit ermöglicht.One of the disadvantages of this known device is that the door can only be closed if the control panel is also located in the transit area for the passengers. Furthermore, the control panel cannot be removed from the reach of the passengers and takes up a lot of space inside the car body. A manipulation of the operating elements, which are attached to the control panel, remains possible at any time.

Aus der EP 329 4603 B1 sind weiter Fahrerpulte bekannt, welche schiebbar zwischen zwei Endpositionen gelagert sind. Dabei stellt eine der Endpositionen des Fahrerpultes eine Ruheposition und die andere Endposition eine Gebrauchsposition dar, wobei die Bedieneinrichtungen lediglich in der Gebrauchsposition zugänglich sind.From the EP 329 4603 B1 driver's desks are also known, which are slidably mounted between two end positions. One of the end positions of the driver's desk represents a rest position and the other end position represents a use position, with the operating devices being accessible only in the use position.

Ein Nachteil der beschriebenen Konstruktion besteht darin, dass die elektrischen und optischen Verbindungsleitungen zwischen der Fahrzeugelektronik und den Ein- und Ausgabeeinrichtungen des Führerpulttisches überlang ausgebildet sein müssen, um ein Verschieben der Fahrerpulte zwischen den zwei Endpositionen ohne Umbauarbeiten zu ermöglichen. Der erhöhte Materialbedarf wirkt sich einerseits negativ auf die Kosten der Vorrichtung aus und birgt andererseits die Gefahr, dass sich die überlangen Verbindungsleitungen miteinander verschlaufen oder eingeklemmt werden, was die Funktionstüchtigkeit der Vorrichtung beeinträchtigen kann.A disadvantage of the construction described is that the electrical and optical connecting lines between the vehicle electronics and the input and output devices of the driver's desk table must be overlong in order to enable the driver's desks to be moved between the two end positions without conversion work. On the one hand, the increased material requirements have a negative effect on the costs of the device and, on the other hand, there is a risk that the overly long connecting lines will become entangled with one another or become trapped, which can impair the functionality of the device.

Aus der EP 0 187 413 A2 sind Führerstände bekannt, welche schwenkbar an einem Stirnende eines Wagenkastens angeordnet sind und in geöffnetem Zustand einen Durchgang für Passagiere freigeben.From the EP 0 187 413 A2 driver's cabs are known, which are arranged pivotably on a front end of a car body and release a passage for passengers in the open state.

Diese bekannte Vorrichtung weist unter anderem den Nachteil auf, dass zum Verschwenken ein hoher Kraftaufwand benötigt wird und die Führerstände auch im abgeschwenkten Zustand viel Platz im Inneren des Wagenkastens einnehmen, welcher den Passagieren in der Folge nicht zur Verfügung steht.This known device has the disadvantage, among other things, that a great deal of effort is required for pivoting and the driver's cabs take up a lot of space inside the car body even when pivoted away, which space is then not available to the passengers.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung diese und weitere Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu beheben. Insbesondere soll ein Wagenkasten für ein Schienenfahrzeug, ein Schienenfahrzeug sowie ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Schienenfahrzeuges bereitgestellt werden, der es ermöglicht, Teile eins Zuges nur durch zugelassenes Personal zu rangieren, ohne eine separate Lokomotive zur verwenden. Weiterhin soll die Passagierkapazität möglichst hoch sein.It is therefore an object of the invention to eliminate these and other disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a car body for a rail vehicle, a rail vehicle, and a method for controlling a rail vehicle are to be provided that allow parts of a train to be shunted only by authorized personnel, without using a separate locomotive. Furthermore, the passenger capacity should be as high as possible.

Diese und weitere Aufgaben werden durch die in den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen definierten Vorrichtungen und Verfahren gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.These and other objects are achieved by the devices and methods defined in the independent patent claims. Further embodiments emerge from the dependent patent claims.

Ein erfindungsgemässer Wagenkasten für ein Schienenfahrzeug umfasst ein Bedienpult zur Steuerung des Schienenfahrzeuges. Das Bedienpult ist insbesondere ein Hilfsbedienpult. Der Wagenkasten umfasst eine Bedienpultaufnahme zur Aufnahme des Bedienpultes, wobei das Bedienpult eine Anordnung aus Bedienelementen aufweist. Das Bedienpult ist aus einer Ruheposition in eine Betriebsposition bringbar. In der Ruheposition ist das Bedienpult in der Bedienpultaufnahme angeordnet und in der Betriebsposition zumindest teilweise ausserhalb der Bedienpultaufnahme angeordnet. Das Bedienpult ist in der Betriebsposition derart angeordnet, dass die Bedienelemente für eine Bedienung zugänglich sind. Erfindungsgemäss ist die Bedienpultaufnahme in einer Seitenwand des Wagenkastens des Schienenfahrzeuges angeordnet. Die Seitenwand, in der die Bedienpultaufnahme angeordnet ist, ist als eine Seitenwand einer Stirnwandverkleidung ausgebildet. Das Bedienpult ist in der Ruheposition ausserhalb dieses Lichtraumes für den Personendurchgang angeordnet und insbesondere aus der Betriebsposition in die Ruheposition aus dem Lichtraum hinaus schwenkbar.A car body according to the invention for a rail vehicle comprises a control panel for controlling the rail vehicle. The control panel is in particular an auxiliary control panel. The car body includes a control panel receptacle for accommodating the control panel, the control panel having an arrangement of control elements. The control panel can be brought from a rest position into an operating position. In the rest position the control panel is arranged in the control panel receptacle and in the operating position it is arranged at least partially outside the control panel receptacle. In the operating position, the control panel is arranged in such a way that the control elements are accessible for operation. According to the invention, the control panel receptacle is arranged in a side wall of the car body of the rail vehicle. The side wall in which the control panel mount is arranged is designed as a side wall of an end wall covering. In the rest position, the control panel is arranged outside of this clear space for the passage of people and, in particular, can be pivoted out of the clear space from the operating position into the rest position.

Unter dem Begriff Schienenfahrzeuge wird hier und im Folgenden eine Komposition aus mindestens zwei Wagenkästen verstanden, wobei insbesondere zumindest einer der Wagenkästen ein Triebwagen ist. Ein Triebwagen ist ein Wagenkasten der zumindest ein antreibbares Drehgestell aufweist. Schienenfahrzeuge umfassen damit beispielsweise auch Metrofahrzeuge und Strassenbahnen. Metrofahrzeuge und Strassenbahnen sind vorwiegend aus mehreren einzelnen Teilkompositionen, beispielsweise Zweierkompositionen aus zwei Wagenkästen, zusammengestellt, wobei jeweils mindestens einer oder beide der Wagenkästen als Triebwagen ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise werden derartige Metrokompositionen zum Rangieren in die einzelnen Zweierkompositionen aufgeteilt, so, dass diese in den entsprechenden Rangierbahnhöfen und Werkhallen Platz haben. Insbesondere ist die Bedienpultaufnahme in einem Wagenkasten angeordnet, in dem Passagiere Zugang haben. Daher wird zum Rangieren des Schienenfahrzeuges oder der Teilkomposition keine separate Lokomotive benötigt.The term rail vehicles is understood here and below to mean a composition of at least two car bodies, with at least one of the car bodies being a railcar. A railcar is a car body that has at least one drivable bogie. Rail vehicles thus also include metro vehicles and trams, for example. Metro vehicles and trams are mainly made up of several individual vehicles Sub-assemblies, for example two-part compositions of two car bodies, put together, with at least one or both of the car bodies being designed as a railcar. Such metro compositions are preferably divided into the individual two-person compositions for shunting in such a way that they have space in the corresponding shunting yards and workshops. In particular, the control panel receptacle is arranged in a car body, in which passengers have access. Therefore, no separate locomotive is required for shunting the rail vehicle or the subassembly.

Ein Wagenkastens gemäss der Erfindung umfasst jeweils den Wagenkasten, der auf zwei Drehgestellen aufliegt, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Jakobsdrehstelle oder Drehgestelle mit einer oder zwei Achsen handelt. Weiterhin umfasst der Wagenkasten auch die Innenverkleidung und ist daher nicht nur auf die statische Wagenkastenstruktur beschränkt. In dem Wagenkasten ist möglichst viel Raum für Passagiere vorhanden, so sind beispielsweise Sitzplätze, Gepäckablagen, Rollstuhlplätze und/oder Toiletten in dem Wagenkasten ausgebildet.A car body according to the invention comprises the car body, which rests on two bogies, regardless of whether it is a Jacobs bogie or bogies with one or two axles. Furthermore, the car body also includes the interior paneling and is therefore not limited to the static car body structure. There is as much space as possible for passengers in the car body, for example seats, luggage racks, wheelchair spaces and/or toilets are designed in the car body.

Das Anordnen des Bedienpultes in einer Bedienpultaufnahme ermöglicht eine zweckmässige und stabile Befestigung des Bedienpultes an einem Element des Wagenkastens. Die Bedienpultaufnahme ermöglicht damit ein manipuliersicheres Verstauen des Bedienpultes, so dass eine unzulässige Bedienung verunmöglicht ist. Hierzu ist die Bedienpultaufnahme bevorzugt eine Ausnehmung, bevorzugt innerhalb eines Verkleidungselementes, des Wagenkastens. Dazu kann die Bedienpultaufnahme beispielsweise zum übrigen Wagenkasteninnern abgetrennt sein und dazu vorzugsweise mehrere Seitenwände aufweisen. Eine Seitenwand kann hierbei durch eine Abschlussplatte des Bedienelementes gebildet sein. Ebenso ist dadurch gewährleistet, dass die Bedienelemente nur in der Betriebsposition zugänglich sind. Dies ermöglicht das Bedienen der Bedienelemente in einer gewünschten Position, und verhindert das Manipulieren der Bedienelemente in einer anderen Position.Arranging the control panel in a control panel mount enables the control panel to be attached in a practical and stable manner to an element of the car body. The control panel holder thus enables the control panel to be tamper-proof stowed away, so that unauthorized operation is impossible. For this purpose, the control panel receptacle is preferably a recess, preferably within a paneling element of the car body. For this purpose, the control panel receptacle can be separated, for example, from the rest of the interior of the car body and, for this purpose, preferably have several side walls. A side wall can be formed here by an end plate of the operating element. This also ensures that the controls are only accessible in the operating position. This allows the controls to be operated in a desired position and prevents the controls from being manipulated in a different position.

Vorzugsweise sind die Bedienelemente des Bedienpultes in der Ruheposition unzugänglich.The controls of the control panel are preferably inaccessible in the rest position.

Dadurch wird einerseits die, wie vorliegend dargelegt, Sicherheit in Bezug auf Fehlmanipulation durch Passagiere erhöht. Zudem ist gewährleistet, dass vor dem Bedienen der Bedienelemente zwingende Schritte durch das Bedienpersonal durchgeführt werden und möglichst viel Platz im Wagenkasten für Passagiere zur Verfügung steht.On the one hand, this increases security with regard to incorrect manipulation by passengers, as explained here. In addition, it is ensured that before operating the operating elements, mandatory steps are carried out by the operating personnel and as much space as possible is available in the car body for passengers.

Typischerweise haben Wagenkästen eine längliche Ausdehnung in Fahrtrichtung, wobei die Abschlusswände in und entgegengesetzt der Fahrtrichtung als Stirnseiten bezeichnet werden. An den Stirnseiten sind Stirnwände angeordnet. Mehrere Wagenkästen gleicher oder unterschiedlicher Bauart, beispielsweise ein Trieb-Wagenkasten und ein Wagenkasten ohne selbständigen Antrieb, können an ihren Stirnseiten miteinander verbunden werden. Typischerweise sind die Stirnseiten zweier Wagenkästen mit einem Faltenbalg miteinander verbunden. Dabei befinden sich in den Stirnwänden der Wagenkästen typischerweise Durchgangsöffnungen, welche vorzugsweise mit einer Durchgangstüre verschlossen sind. Die Durchgangstüre kann als Schiebetüre oder Drehtür ausgebildet sein. Zur Aufnahme der Durchgangstüre und/oder zur Aufnahme weiterer Komponenten des Wagenkastens wie Leitungen können die Stirnwände mit einer Stirnwandverkleidung versehen sein, welche beispielsweise einen Hohlraum bildet. Damit weist die Stirnwand gesamthaft eine Tiefe auf, die sich in oder entgegengesetzt der Fahrtrichtung erstreckt. Hier und im Folgenden wird diese Ausgestaltung der Stirnwandverkleidung als Stirnwandkasten bezeichnet. Die Stirnwandverkleidung und damit der Stirnwandkasten weist entlang seiner Tiefe eine Seitenwand auf, in welche die Bedienpultaufnahme vorzugsweise angeordnet ist. Bevorzugt sind an der Stirnwandverkleidung entweder ein oder mehrere Sitzplätze, eine Gepäckablage, eine Toilette oder ein Rollstuhlplatz oder andere Ausstattungselemente ausgebildet, so dass der Platz für die Passagiere optimal ausgenutzt wird.Typically, car bodies have an elongated extension in the direction of travel, with the end walls in and opposite the direction of travel being referred to as end faces. End walls are arranged on the end faces. Several car bodies of the same or different design, for example a motor car body and a car body without an independent drive, can be connected to one another at their ends. Typically, the end faces of two car bodies are connected to one another with bellows. There are typically passage openings in the end walls of the car bodies, which are preferably closed with a passage door. The passage door can be designed as a sliding door or a revolving door. To accommodate the access door and/or to accommodate other components of the car body, such as lines, the end walls can be provided with an end wall lining, which forms a cavity, for example. Thus, the end wall overall has a depth that is in or opposite of the direction of travel extends. Here and in the following, this configuration of the bulkhead paneling is referred to as a bulkhead box. The front wall paneling and thus the front wall box has a side wall along its depth, in which the control panel receptacle is preferably arranged. One or more seats, a luggage rack, a toilet or a wheelchair space or other equipment elements are preferably formed on the bulkhead paneling, so that the space for the passengers is optimally utilized.

Dies ermöglicht die Aufnahme des Bedienpultes in einen zum Passagierraum abgetrennten und geschützten Bereich, ohne die Passagierkapazität zur verringern.This enables the control panel to be accommodated in a protected area that is separate from the passenger compartment, without reducing passenger capacity.

Typischerweise befinden sich Stirnwandkästen in einer Fahrtrichtung rechts und links eines Durchgangs und damit rechts und links eines Lichtraumes für einen Personendurchgang.Typically, front wall boxes are located to the right and left of a passage in a direction of travel and thus to the right and left of a clear space for a pedestrian passage.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das Bedienpult in der Ruheposition ausserhalb dieses Lichtraumes für den Personendurchgang angeordnet und insbesondere aus der Betriebsposition in die Ruheposition aus dem Lichtraum hinaus schwenkbar oder schiebbar.According to the invention, the control panel is arranged in the rest position outside of this clear space for the passage of people and in particular can be pivoted or pushed out of the clear space from the operating position into the rest position.

Dies ermöglicht einerseits den ungehinderten Zugang und Durchgang von Passagieren bei Nichtgebrauch des Bedienpultes. Das Bedienpult ist vorzugsweise in Betrieb, wenn die Zugkomposition oder Teile der Zugkomposition oder des Schienenfahrzeuges sich in einem Rangiermodus oder in einem Hilfsbetriebsmodus befinden.On the one hand, this enables unimpeded access and passage of passengers when the control panel is not in use. The control panel is preferably in operation when the train composition or parts of the train composition or the rail vehicle are in a shunting mode or in an auxiliary operating mode.

Vorzugsweise wird das Bedienpult zur Inbetriebnahme des Bedienpultes in die Betriebsposition und damit in den Lichtraum des Personendurchgangs geschwenkt. Bevorzugt befindet sich die Schwenkachse und damit das Bedienpult in einer Betriebsposition auf im Wesentlichen Hüfthöhe des Bedienpersonals, also in etwas auf 1m Höhe vom Boden des Wagenkastens.Preferably, the control panel is pivoted into the operating position and thus into the clear space of the passage of people to start up the control panel. The pivot axis and thus the control panel are preferably in an operating position essentially at waist height of the operator, i.e. at a height of about 1m from the floor of the car body.

Damit muss der Bediener des Bedienpultes eine vorgegebene Position einnehmen, welche den Personendurchgang zusätzlich zum Bedienpult versperrt.The operator of the control panel must therefore assume a predetermined position, which also blocks the passage of people to the control panel.

Typischerweise können in den Stirnwänden der Wagenkäsen Türen angeordnet sein. Solche Türen können Durchgangstüren oder Brandschutztüren sein. Durchgangstüren öffnen sich üblicherweise, sobald ein Passagier in die Nähe kommt, hingegen sind Brandschutztüren im normalen Betrieb geöffnet und schliessen sich nur im Brandfall oder auf separate Anforderung, wie beispielsweise beim Rangieren. Derartige Türen können Fenster aufweisen. Das Bedienpult ist in der Betriebsposition dabei vorzugsweise derart angeordnet, dass der Bediener des Bedienpultes die Fahrspur überblicken kann (beispielsweise durch das Fenster einer geschlossenen Durchgangstür). Im Rangierbetrieb durch das Bedienpult kann eine derartige Tür geschlossen oder offen sein. Empfehlenswert ist das Schliessen einer Tür im Rangierbetrieb um Wettereinfluss und Verschmutzung so gering wie möglich zu halten. Alternativ kann ein Durchgang jedoch auch durch eine temporäre Schutzabdeckung oder eine Rollplane abgedeckt sein.Doors can typically be arranged in the end walls of the wagon bodies. Such doors can be passage doors or fire doors. Passage doors usually open as soon as a passenger approaches, but fire doors are open during normal operation and only close in the event of a fire or on a separate request, such as when manoeuvring. Such doors may have windows. In the operating position, the control panel is preferably arranged in such a way that the operator of the control panel can see the lane (for example through the window of a closed passage door). Such a door can be closed or open during shunting operation using the control panel. It is recommended to close a door when shunting to keep the weather and dirt as low as possible. Alternatively, however, a passage can also be covered by a temporary protective cover or a roll-up tarpaulin.

Bevorzugt weist das Bedienpult eine Abschlussplatte auf, die derart angeordnet ist, dass die Abschlussplatte mit der Seitenwand des Wagenkastens in der Ruheposition eine gemeinsame Oberfläche bildet. Die gemeinsame Oberfläche ist vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen geschlossen. Dies schliesst Fugen zwischen der Abschlussplatte und der Seitenwand natürlich nicht aus. Die Abschlussplatte des Bedienpultes kann beispielsweise als separate Abschlussplatte ausgebildet sein, auf der das Bedienpult befestigt ist oder die Abschlussplatte kann Teil des Gehäuses des Bedienpults sein und somit gleichzeitig Abschlussplatte und Seitenwand des Bedienpultes sein. Weiterhin kann das Bedienpult lösbar an der Abschlussplatte befestigt sein, so dass der Bediener das Bedienpult entnehmen kann und das Bedienpult in der Ruheposition sicher verstaut ist.The control panel preferably has an end plate which is arranged in such a way that the end plate forms a common surface with the side wall of the car body in the rest position. The common surface is preferably essentially closed. Of course, this does not rule out joints between the end plate and the side wall. The end plate of the control panel can be designed, for example, as a separate end plate on which the control panel is attached, or the end panel can be part of the housing of the control panel and thus be the end plate and side wall of the control panel at the same time. Furthermore, the control panel can be detachably attached to the end plate so that the operator can remove the control panel and the control panel is safely stowed away in the rest position.

Durch die wie vorliegend beschriebene Anordnung der Abschlussplatte wird verhindert, dass Teile des Bedienpultes über die Seitenwand hervorstehen und dabei gefährliche Ecken oder Kanten bilden oder den Lichtraum für den Passagierdurchlass zusätzlich einschränken.The arrangement of the end plate as described here prevents parts of the control panel from protruding beyond the side wall and thereby forming dangerous corners or edges or additionally restricting the clear space for the passage of passengers.

Das Bedienpult kann beispielsweise ausziehbar oder schwenkbar oder herausnehmbar ausgebildet sein. Dies bedeutet, dass das Bedienpult beispielsweise in einer linearen Bewegung, vorzugsweise auf Teleskopschienen, aus der Seitenwand des Wagenkastens, insbesondere dem Stirnwandkasten, bewegbar ist. Alternativ ist es vorstellbar, dass das Bedienpult mittels einer Drehbewegung aus der Seitenwand des Wagenkastens herausschwenkbar ist. Dabei kann das Bedienpult auf einer einzelnen Drehachse angeordnet sein. Eine Drehbewegung um ein Mehrgelenkscharnier oder eine überlagerte Dreh/Zugbewegung ist ebenfalls vorstellbar. Bevorzugt ist das Bedienpult an einem unbeweglichen Element des Wagenkastens befestigt. Das Bedienpult ist daher nicht an einer Durchgangstür befestigt. Weiterhin alternativ kann das Bedienpult vollständig aus der Bedienpultaufnahme entnehmbar ausgestaltet sein. Hierbei kann das Bedienpult eine Tragevorrichtung umfassen, durch die das Bedienpersonal das Bedienpult tragen und bevorzugt in einer Bedienposition halten kann.The control panel can, for example, be designed to be extendable or pivotable or removable. This means that the control panel can be moved, for example, in a linear movement, preferably on telescopic rails, out of the side wall of the car body, in particular the end wall box. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the control panel can be swiveled out of the side wall of the car body by means of a rotary movement. The control panel can be arranged on a single axis of rotation. A rotating movement around a multi-joint hinge or a superimposed rotating/pulling movement is also conceivable. The control panel is preferably attached to an immovable element of the car body. The control panel is therefore not attached to a passage door. Furthermore, as an alternative, the control panel can be designed to be completely removable from the control panel receptacle. Here, the control panel can include a carrying device, through which the operating personnel can carry the control panel and preferably hold it in an operating position.

Dies ermöglicht eine sichere und einfache Befestigung des Bedienpultes sowie ein einfaches Bedienen des Bedienpultes. Insbesondere durch eine Schwenkbewegung ist das sichere und genaue Herstellen der Ruheposition und der Betriebsposition ermöglicht. Dabei kann es vorgesehen sein, für beide Positionen am Bedienpult und/oder in der Stirnwand Anschläge vorzusehen, welche die Position genau definieren und dabei zusätzlich oder alternativ Kräfte aufnehmen können, die auf das Bedienpult wirken. Ein herausnehmbares Bedienpult hat den Vorteil, dass das Bedienpersonal seine Position selber bestimmen kann und trotzdem das Schienenfahrzeug oder die Teilkomposition steuern kann.This enables a safe and easy attachment of the control panel and easy operation of the control panel. In particular, by a pivoting movement is safe and accurate Making the rest position and the operating position possible. It can be provided that stops are provided for both positions on the control panel and/or in the end wall, which define the position precisely and can additionally or alternatively absorb forces that act on the control panel. A removable control panel has the advantage that the operating personnel can determine their position themselves and still be able to control the rail vehicle or the subassembly.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die Drehachse im Wesentlichen in Richtung einer Fahrtrichtung des Schienenfahrzeugs.The axis of rotation preferably extends essentially in the direction of a direction of travel of the rail vehicle.

Damit ist es ermöglicht, dass Bewegungen oder Kräfte, die durch das Beschleunigen oder Abbremsen des Schienenfahrzeugs hervorgerufen werden, aufgenommen werden, und dass sich die Position des Bedienpultes um die Drehachse nicht ändert. Weiterhin führt eine derartige Drehachse zu einem optimalen Schwenkbereich, der keinen Einfluss auf die Passagierkapazität hat.This makes it possible for movements or forces caused by the acceleration or braking of the rail vehicle to be absorbed, and for the position of the control panel around the axis of rotation not to change. Furthermore, such an axis of rotation leads to an optimal pivoting range, which has no influence on the passenger capacity.

In der vorliegenden Anmeldung wird unter den Ausdruck "im Wesentlichen" verstanden, das der darauffolgende Wert nicht absolut genau ausgebildet sein muss, sondern beispielsweise von einer vorgegebenen Richtung um einen zu vernachlässigenden Betrag abweicht. So ist zum Beispiel der Ausdruck "im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig" dahingehend zu verstehen, dass sowohl genau rechte Winkel als auch Winkel mit einer gewissen Abweichung zum rechten Winkel umfasst sind. So bedeutet ebenfalls die Bezeichnung "im Wesentlichen in Richtung der Fahrtrichtung" genau in Richtung der Fahrtrichtung sowie Richtungen, die sich zwar in die gleiche Richtung wie die Fahrtrichtung erstrecken, jedoch nicht genau parallel zu dieser sind.In the present application, the expression “substantially” is understood to mean that the value that follows does not have to be absolutely precise, but instead deviates from a specified direction by a negligible amount, for example. For example, the expression "substantially right angles" is understood to include both right angles and angles with some deviation from right angles. Likewise, the term "substantially in the direction of travel" means exactly in the direction of the direction of travel and directions that extend in the same direction as the direction of travel but are not exactly parallel to it.

Die Drehachse kann zusätzlich oder alternativ im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet sein.The axis of rotation can additionally or alternatively be oriented essentially horizontally.

Dies erleichtert die Fertigung und die Montage. Zusätzlich ermöglicht die horizontale Ausbildung der Drehachse eine einfache und sichere Bedienung der Bedienelemente des Bedienpultes.This facilitates manufacture and assembly. In addition, the horizontal design of the axis of rotation enables simple and safe operation of the operating elements of the control panel.

Zum Sichern und Verriegeln des Bedienpultes können am Bedienpult Mittel zum Verriegeln angebracht sein. Vorzugsweise sind solche Mittel in der Abschlussplatte angeordnet. Dabei wäre es vorstellbar, dass diese Mittel zum Verriegeln derart ausgebildet sind oder ein zusätzliches Element aufweisen, dass es ermöglicht ist, ein Signal auszulösen, welches in der Steuerung des Zuges verwendbar ist. Mittel zum Verriegeln können beispielsweise mechanisch oder magnetisch sein und mechanisch oder elektronisch betätigt werden. Denkbar sind beispielsweise ein mechanisches Schloss oder eine elektromagnetische Verriegelung. Die Bedienung der Mittel zum Verriegeln kann mit einem Schlüssel, einen Magneten, einem RFID-Key, einem NFC-Key (Near Field Communication) oder ähnlichem möglich sein.To secure and lock the control panel, means for locking can be attached to the control panel. Such means are preferably arranged in the end plate. It would be conceivable that these means for locking are designed in such a way or have an additional element that makes it possible to trigger a signal that can be used in the control of the train. Means for locking can be mechanical or magnetic, for example, and can be actuated mechanically or electronically. For example, a mechanical lock or an electromagnetic lock are conceivable. The means for locking can be operated with a key, a magnet, an RFID key, an NFC key (Near Field Communication) or the like.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung können am Bedienpult Mittel zum Bestimmen der Lage des Bedienpultes, insbesondere zum Bestimmen der Ruheposition und/oder der Betriebsposition angeordnet sein. Derartige Mittel zum Bestimmen der Lagen können Sensoren wie Lage und/oder Bewegungssensoren und/oder Kontaktsensoren sein.In a further advantageous embodiment, means for determining the position of the control panel, in particular for determining the rest position and/or the operating position, can be arranged on the control panel. Such means for determining the positions can be sensors such as position and/or movement sensors and/or contact sensors.

Alternativ wäre es möglich, sowohl das Verriegelungsmittel als auch die Mittel zum Bestimmen der Lage kombiniert auszubilden. Hierzu können beispielsweise Kontaktsensoren an den Mitteln zum Verriegeln ausgebildet sein.Alternatively, it would be possible to combine both the locking means and the means for determining the position. For this purpose, for example, contact sensors can be formed on the means for locking.

Somit ist es möglich, den Zustand des Bedienpultes, nämlich die Verriegelung oder Entriegelung festzustellen und zusätzliche die Endposition festzustellen, was ermöglicht, ein Signal auszulösen, das diese Information beinhaltet und in der Steuerung des Schienenfahrzeuges verwendbar ist.It is thus possible to determine the status of the control panel, namely whether it is locked or unlocked, and also to determine the end position, which makes it possible to trigger a signal which contains this information and can be used in the control of the rail vehicle.

Vorzugsweise sind die Mittel zum Bestimmen der Lage oder die Mittel zum Verriegeln dazu ausgebildet, das Bedienpult und/oder die Steuerung des Schienenfahrzeuges und/oder das Schienenfahrzeug in einen Hilfsbetriebsmodus zu schalten.The means for determining the position or the means for locking are preferably designed to switch the control panel and/or the controller of the rail vehicle and/or the rail vehicle to an auxiliary operating mode.

In einem Hilfsbetriebsmodus kann zum Beispiel die zulässige Geschwindigkeit des Schienenfahrzeuges beschränkt werden. Ebenfalls können im Hilfsbetriebsmodus zusätzliche Steuerungsoptionen freigeschaltet werden oder beispielsweise Alarmlichter ausgelöst werden. Weiterhin kann im Hilfsbetriebsmodus nur ein Teil der Zugkomposition angetrieben sein, beispielsweise nur zwei Wagenkästen, wobei für diesen Teil der Zugkomposition nur ein Antriebsmotor notwendig ist. Möglich ist jedoch auch die Verwendung von sämtlichen Antriebsmotoren, die in diesem Zugteil vorhanden sind oder ein Teil von den Antriebsmotoren. Denkbar ist die Verwendung von den vorhandenen Antriebsmotoren oder auch ein zusätzlicher Rangiermotor pro Teil einer Zugkomposition.In an auxiliary operating mode, for example, the permissible speed of the rail vehicle can be limited. Additional control options can also be enabled in the auxiliary operating mode or, for example, alarm lights can be triggered. Furthermore, only part of the train composition can be driven in the auxiliary operating mode, for example only two car bodies, with only one drive motor being necessary for this part of the train composition. However, it is also possible to use all of the drive motors that are present in this part of the train or some of the drive motors. The use of the existing drive motors or an additional shunting motor for each part of a train composition is conceivable.

Vorzugsweise ist im Hilfsbetriebsmodus zumindest eines der folgenden Elemente überbrückbar; die Steuerung einer automatischen Durchgangstüröffnung einer oder mehreren Durchgangstüren, die Hauptsteuerung des Schienenfahrzeuges.At least one of the following elements can preferably be bypassed in the auxiliary operating mode; the control of an automatic passage door opening of one or more passage doors, the main control of the rail vehicle.

Ebenfalls wäre es möglich, mittels Einschalten des Hilfsbetriebsmodus die Steuerung am Betriebspult in Funktion zu nehmen. Weiterhin kann auch der Hilfsbetriebsmodus nur das Abkoppeln eines Teils der Zugkomposition eingeschaltet werden.It would also be possible to activate the control at the operating panel by switching on the auxiliary operating mode. Furthermore, the auxiliary operating mode can only be switched on when uncoupling a part of the train composition.

Somit kann beispielsweise eine gegenseitige Verriegelung von Hauptsteuerung und Hilfssteuerung respektive Hauptbedienpult und einem Bedienpult wie in der vorliegenden Anmeldung beschrieben, geschaffen werden.Thus, for example, a mutual locking of the main control and auxiliary control or main control panel and a control panel as described in the present application can be created.

Die Bedienelemente des Bedienpultes sind vorzugsweise in einer Ebene angeordnet, wobei die Ebene in der Betriebsposition im Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet sein kann und/oder in der Ruheposition im Wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtet sein kann. Zusätzlich ist die Ebene bevorzugt derart ausgestaltet, dass Sie in einer stehenden Position des Bedienpersonals zugänglich ist, also insbesondere auf einer Höhe von im Wesentlichen 1m.The operating elements of the control panel are preferably arranged in one plane, it being possible for the plane to be oriented essentially horizontally in the operating position and/or to be oriented essentially vertically in the rest position. In addition, the level is preferably designed in such a way that it is accessible to the operator when the operator is standing, ie in particular at a height of essentially 1 m.

Dies ermöglicht in der Betriebsposition das Bedienen der Bedienelemente in einer ergonomisch vorteilhaften Position. Dabei ist es vorstellbar, dass die Ebene in Bezug auf die Fahrtrichtung eine Neigung aufweist, oder, dass die Bedienelemente zur Ebene geneigt angeordnet sind.In the operating position, this enables the operating elements to be operated in an ergonomically advantageous position. It is conceivable that the plane has an inclination in relation to the direction of travel, or that the controls are arranged inclined to the plane.

Vorzugsweise ist der Wagenkasten derart ausgebildet, dass eine Schwenkbewegung des Bedienpultes quer und vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zur Fahrtrichtung des Schienenfahrzeuges in einer zur Fahrtrichtung rechtwinkligen Ebene verläuft.The car body is preferably designed in such a way that a pivoting movement of the control panel runs transversely and preferably at right angles to the direction of travel of the rail vehicle in a plane at right angles to the direction of travel.

Damit ist eine einfache Bedienung und ein einfaches Bewegen des Bedienpultes von der Ruheposition in die Betriebsposition ermöglicht. Insbesondere ist dadurch ermöglicht, dass Kräfte, die sich am Schienenfahrzeug durch Beschleunigen oder Abbremsen ergeben, nicht auf die Schwenkbewegung des Bedienpultes Einfluss nehmen und dadurch ein zufälliges Ausschwenken des Bedienpultes verhindert ist.This enables simple operation and easy movement of the control panel from the rest position to the operating position. In particular, this means that forces which arise on the rail vehicle as a result of acceleration or braking do not influence the pivoting movement of the control panel, and accidental pivoting of the control panel is thereby prevented.

Das Bedienpult kann Kommunikationsmittel umfassend, durch die eine Kommunikation mit einer Fahrzeugsteuerung möglich ist. Diese Kommunikationsmittel können über Kabel oder über elektromagnetische Wellen mit der Fahrzeugsteuerung kommunizieren. Insbesondere bei einem entnehmbaren Bedienpult ist eine drahtlose Kommunikation zwischen Bedienpult und Fahrzeugsteuerung bevorzugt.The control panel can include communication means through which communication with a vehicle control is possible. These means of communication can communicate with the vehicle controller via cables or via electromagnetic waves. In the case of a removable control panel in particular, wireless communication between the control panel and the vehicle control system is preferred.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einem Wagenkasten wie vorliegend beschrieben. Das Schienenfahrzeug weist damit alle wie vorliegend beschriebenen Vorteile auf.A further aspect of the invention relates to a rail vehicle with a car body as described here. The rail vehicle thus has all the advantages described above.

Das Schienenfahrzeug kann vorzugsweise zusätzlich ein Hauptbedienpult aufweisen, welches beispielsweise in einem separat ausgebildeten zusätzlichen Triebwagen angeordnet ist. Dabei kann das Hauptbedienpult mit dem wie vorliegend beschriebenen Bedienpult derart zusammenwirken, dass beispielsweise gewisse Funktionen gegeneinander verriegelt sind, wenn das wie vorliegend beschriebene Bedienpult in einem Hilfsbetriebsmodus ist.The rail vehicle can preferably also have a main control panel, which is arranged, for example, in a separately designed additional railcar. The main control panel can interact with the control panel as described here in such a way that, for example, certain functions are interlocked when the control panel as described here is in an auxiliary operating mode.

Damit kann eine komplette Zugkomposition oder beispielsweise eine Metrokomposition bereitgestellt werden, die mit einem Hauptbedienpult fahrbar ist und mit einem Hilfsbedienpult rangierbar, insbesondere Teile der Zugkomposition rangierbar sind.A complete train composition or, for example, a metro composition can thus be provided, which can be driven with a main control panel and shunted with an auxiliary control panel, in particular parts of the train composition can be shunted.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Schienenfahrzeuges und/oder einer Wagenkastenkomposition, insbesondere eines Teiles einer Wagenkastenkomposition wie vorliegend beschrieben. In einem ersten Schritt wird ein Betriebspult, vorzugsweise ein Betriebspult wie vorliegend beschrieben, entriegelt, bevorzugt mechanisch oder elektronisch entriegelt, und in einem zweiten Schritt wird das Bedienpult aus einer Ruheposition in eine Betriebsposition gebracht. Dabei wird durch das Bringen des Bedienpultes von der Ruheposition in die Betriebsposition eine Steuerung des Schienenfahrzeuges und/oder eine Steuerung einer Durchgangstüre überbrückt. Dies ermöglicht die Vorteile wie vorliegend insbesondere zur Hilfssteuerung beschrieben. In der Ruheposition sind die Bedienelemente des Bedienpultes nicht zugänglich, sie sind daher nur in der Betriebsposition zugänglich.A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for controlling a rail vehicle and/or a car body composition, in particular a part of a car body composition as described here. In a first step, an operating panel, preferably an operating panel as described here, unlocked, preferably mechanically or electronically unlocked, and in a second step, the control panel is brought from a rest position to an operating position. In this case, a control of the rail vehicle and/or a control of a passage door is bypassed by bringing the control panel from the rest position into the operating position. This enables the advantages as described here, in particular for the auxiliary control. In the rest position, the controls of the control panel are not accessible, they are therefore only accessible in the operating position.

Vorzugsweise ist die Hilfssteuerung an einem Bedienpult wie vorliegend beschrieben ausgebildet.The auxiliary control is preferably designed on a control panel as described here.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer typischen Konfiguration eines Schienenfahrzeuges. Zwei Wagenkästen 1, 1' sind mit je einer ihrer Stirnseiten aneinander zugewandt und mit einem Faltenbalg 3 an ihren Stirnwänden 10, 10' (siehe Figur 2) miteinander verbunden. Sie bilden Teil eines Schienenfahrzeuges 100 mit weiteren Wagenkästen 1, 1`. Der Wagenkasten 1 weist ein zweites, hier nicht bezeichnetes Ende auf, welches vorliegend wie das hier gezeigte Ende des Wagenkastens 1' ausgebildet ist. Damit ist der Wagenkasten 1 auf zwei Drehgestellen 2 angeordnet. Der Wagenkasten 1' ist entsprechend konfiguriert. Zumindest eines der Drehgestelle 2 weist einen Antrieb auf, womit ein autonomes Fahren mit der Wagenkastenkomposition 1, 1' wie vorliegend dargestellt, möglich ist. figure 1 shows a detail of a typical configuration of a rail vehicle. Two car bodies 1, 1' face each other with one of their end faces facing each other and with a bellows 3 on their end walls 10, 10' (see figure 2 ) connected with each other. They form part of a rail vehicle 100 with additional car bodies 1, 1'. The car body 1 has a second end, not designated here, which in the present case is designed like the end of the car body 1' shown here. The car body 1 is thus arranged on two bogies 2 . The car body 1' is configured accordingly. At least one of the bogies 2 has a drive, with which autonomous driving with the car body composition 1, 1' as shown here is possible.

Figur 2 zeigt eine aufgeschnittene Draufsicht der Wagenkastenkomposition 1, 1' aus Figur 1. Wie zu Figur 1 erläutert sind die Wagenkästen 1 und 1' mit einem Faltenbalg 3 miteinander verbunden. Die Wagenkästen 1 und 1' weisen stirnseitig Stirnwände 10 und 10' auf, die einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind. In den Stirnwänden 10 und 10' befinden sich jeweils Durchgänge 12 und 12' für Personen. Die Durchgänge 12 und 12' sind jeweils mit einer Schiebetüre 13 und 13' verschlossen. Die Stirnwände 10 und 10' weisen eine Stirnwandverkleidung 11 und 11' auf, die sich über eine Tiefe T in Richtung der Fahrtrichtung F erstrecken. figure 2 Fig. 1 shows a cutaway plan view of the car body composition 1, 1' figure 1 . How to figure 1 explained are the car bodies 1 and 1 'with a bellows 3 connected to each other. The car bodies 1 and 1' have front end walls 10 and 10' which are arranged opposite one another. In the end walls 10 and 10' there are passages 12 and 12' for people, respectively. The passages 12 and 12' are each closed with a sliding door 13 and 13'. The end walls 10 and 10' have an end wall lining 11 and 11', which extend over a depth T in the direction of travel F.

Die Stirnwandverkleidungen 11 und 11' weisen ebenfalls eine Seitenwand 111 und 111' auf. Die Stirnwandverkleidungen sind vorliegend im Wesentlichen symmetrisch zu einer zentralen Achse des Schienenfahrzeuges 100 angeordnet.The end wall panels 11 and 11' also have a side wall 111 and 111'. In the present case, the end wall coverings are arranged essentially symmetrically to a central axis of the rail vehicle 100 .

Figur 3 zeigt eine Innenansicht des Schienenfahrzeuges 100 aus den Figuren 1 und 2. Zwei Wagenkästen 1 und 1' sind hintereinander in Fahrtrichtung angeordnet, der Durchgang 12 zwischen den Wagenkästen 1 und 1' ist geöffnet. Im Innen der Wagenkästen befinden sich Sitze 20. Die Sitze 20 sind unter anderen an der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 angeordnet, so dass möglichst viel Passagierkapazität in dem jeweiligen Wagenkasten 1 und 1' vorhanden ist. Ebenfalls sichtbar ist ein Fenster 21. An der Stirnwand 10 ist eine Stirnwandverkleidung 11 angeordnet. Die Stirnwandverkleidung 11 weist eine Seitenwand 111 auf, in der ein Bedienpult 4 (siehe dazu Figur 4) angeordnet ist, von dem jedoch nur die Abschlussplatte 40 sichtbar ist. In der Abschlussplatte 40 befindet sich eine Verriegelung 43. Das Bedienpult 4 (Figur 4) ist in einer Bedienpultaufnahme 41 (Figur 4) angeordnet und in der Ruheposition gezeigt. In der Ruheposition sind die Bedienelemente nicht zugänglich. figure 3 shows an interior view of the rail vehicle 100 from FIGS Figures 1 and 2 . Two car bodies 1 and 1' are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, the passage 12 between the car bodies 1 and 1' is open. Seats 20 are located inside the car bodies. The seats 20 are arranged, among other things, on the bulkhead paneling 11, so that there is as much passenger capacity as possible in the respective car bodies 1 and 1'. A window 21 is also visible. The front wall paneling 11 has a side wall 111 in which a control panel 4 (see figure 4 ) is arranged, of which, however, only the end plate 40 is visible. There is a lock 43 in the end plate 40. The control panel 4 ( figure 4 ) is in a control panel recording 41 ( figure 4 ) placed and shown in the rest position. In the rest position, the controls are not accessible.

Figur 4 zeigt den Innenraum gemäss der Figur 3, wobei das Bedienpult 4 in einer Betriebsposition gezeigt ist. Dabei ist der Durchgang 12 mit der Schiebetüre 13 geschlossen. In der Schiebetüre 13 ist ein Fenster 131 sichtbar. Das Bedienpult 4 ist aus der Ruheposition (siehe Figur 3) in die vorliegend gezeigte Betriebsposition geschwenkt. Und zwar ist das Bedienpult 4 aus der Bedienpultaufnahme 41 herausgeschwenkt worden. Die Bedienpultaufnahme 41 ist in der Seitenwand der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 und damit in der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 angeordnet. Das Bedienpult 4 weist Bedienelemente 42 auf. Die Abschlussplatte 40 ist mit dem Bedienpult 4 zusammen in der Schwenkrichtung P1 nach unten geschwenkt. Für die Bedienung des Bedienpultes 4 muss das Bedienpersonal auf Grund der in Figur 4 gezeigten Betriebsposition eine Stellung einnehmen, die es dem Betriebspersonal ermöglicht, durch das Fenster 131 der Durchgangstüre 13 einen Fahrweg zu überblicken. Durch das Herausklappen des Bedienpultes 4 wurde ein Schaltelement betätigt, welches ein Signal ausgelöst hat, das die Durchgangstüre in die geschlossene Position bringt, und/oder das automatische Öffnen der Durchgangstüre überbrückt oder verhindert. Zusätzlich ist eine Hauptsteuerung des Zuges überbrückt, so, dass das Schienenfahrzeug lediglich mit dem hier gezeigten Bedienpult steuerbar ist. Weiterhin ist in Blickrichtung des Betriebspersonals durch das Fenster 131 kein weiterer Wagen mehr angekuppelt. Es handelt sich daher um eine Teilkomposition, die nun rangiert werden kann. figure 4 shows the interior according to the figure 3 , wherein the control panel 4 is shown in an operating position. The passage 12 with the sliding door 13 is closed. A window 131 is visible in the sliding door 13 . The control panel 4 is out of the rest position (see figure 3 ) pivoted into the operating position shown here. Namely, the control panel 4 has been pivoted out of the control panel mount 41 . The control panel receptacle 41 is arranged in the side wall of the bulkhead paneling 11 and thus in the bulkhead paneling 11 . The control panel 4 has control elements 42 . The closing plate 40 is pivoted downward together with the operation panel 4 in the pivoting direction P1. This must be used to operate control panel 4 Operating personnel due to the in figure 4 shown operating position take a position that allows the operating personnel to overlook a route through the window 131 of the passage door 13. By folding out the control panel 4, a switching element was actuated, which triggered a signal that brought the passage door into the closed position and/or bypassed or prevented the automatic opening of the passage door. In addition, a main control of the train is bypassed so that the rail vehicle can only be controlled with the control panel shown here. Furthermore, in the direction of view of the operating personnel through the window 131, no further carriage is coupled. It is therefore a partial composition that can now be ranked.

Figur 5 zeigt eine alternative Konfiguration des Innenraums gemäss Figur 3 respektive des Innenraumes aus einem Schienenfahrzeug/Wagenkastenkomposition gemäss der Figur 1. Der Durchgang 12 zwischen zwei Wagenkästen 1, 1' ist dabei vorliegend geöffnet. figure 5 shows an alternative configuration of the interior according to figure 3 or the interior of a rail vehicle / car body composition according to figure 1 . The passage 12 between two car bodies 1, 1' is open in the present case.

In einer Stirnwandverkleidung 11, welche eine Seitenwand 111 aufweist, ist ein Bedienpult 4 (Figur 6) angeordnet. Die Sitze 20 sind unter anderen an der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 angeordnet, so dass möglichst viel Passagierkapazität in dem jeweiligen Wagenkasten 1 und 1' vorhanden ist. Vom Bedienpult 4 ist lediglich die Abschlussplatte 40 sichtbar. In der Abschlussplatte 40 befindet sich eine Verriegelung 43 zum Verriegeln des Bedienpultes 4. Das Bedienpult 4 befindet sich vorliegend in einer Ruheposition. In der Ruheposition sind die Bedienelemente nicht zugänglich.A control panel 4 ( figure 6 ) arranged. The seats 20 are arranged, among other things, on the bulkhead paneling 11, so that there is as much passenger capacity as possible in the respective car body 1 and 1'. From the control panel 4 only the end plate 40 is visible. In the cover plate 40 there is a lock 43 for locking the control panel 4. In the present case, the control panel 4 is in a rest position. In the rest position, the controls are not accessible.

Figur 6 zeigt den Innenraum gemäss Figur 5, wobei das Bedienpult 4 in einer linearen Bewegung entlang des Pfeiles P2 aus der Seitenwand 111 der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 herausgezogen wurde und in die Betriebsposition gebracht wurde. Weiterhin wurde der Wagen 1' abgekoppelt, so dass der Wagen 1 nun rangierbar ist. Die Funktionen entsprechen denjenigen Funktionen wie zu der in Figur 4 beschriebenen Betriebspositionen und ist deshalb der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht wiederholt. figure 6 shows the interior according to figure 5 , the control panel 4 being pulled out of the side wall 111 of the dash paneling 11 in a linear movement along the arrow P2 and brought into the operating position. Furthermore, the car was 1' decoupled, so that the car 1 can now be maneuvered. The functions correspond to those functions as for the in figure 4 described operating positions and is therefore not repeated for the sake of clarity.

Figur 7 zeigt den Innenraum gemäss der Figur 3, wobei das Bedienpult 4 in einer alternativen Ausführungsform in der Betriebsposition gezeigt ist. Dabei ist der Durchgang 12 mit der Schiebetüre 13 geschlossen. Das Bedienpult 4 ist aus der Ruheposition (siehe Figur 3) in die vorliegend gezeigte Betriebsposition entnommen. Und zwar ist das Bedienpult 4 aus der Bedienpultaufnahme 41 vollständig herausgenommen worden. Die Bedienpultaufnahme 41 ist in der Seitenwand 111 der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 und damit in der Stirnwandverkleidung 11 angeordnet. Das Bedienpult 4 weist Bedienelemente 42 auf. Für die Bedienung des Bedienpultes 4 kann das Bedienpersonal den Trageriemen anlegen und sich frei im Schienenfahrzeug bewegen. Durch das Entnehmen des Bedienpultes 4 wurde ein Schaltelement betätigt, welches ein Signal ausgelöst hat, das die Durchgangstüre in die geschlossene Position bringt, und/oder das automatische Öffnen der Durchgangstüre überbrückt oder verhindert. Zusätzlich ist eine Hauptsteuerung des Zuges überbrückt, so, dass das Schienenfahrzeug lediglich mit dem hier gezeigten Bedienpult 4 steuerbar ist. Die Kommunikation des Bedienpultes 4 mit der Fahrzeugsteuerung erfolgt drahtlos. Es handelt sich um eine Teilkomposition, die nun rangiert werden kann. In dem Wagenkasten sind Sitze (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet, so dass Passagiere in dem Fahrzeug mitfahren können. figure 7 shows the interior according to the figure 3 , with the control panel 4 shown in the operating position in an alternative embodiment. The passage 12 with the sliding door 13 is closed. The control panel 4 is out of the rest position (see figure 3 ) into the operating position shown here. Namely, the control panel 4 has been completely removed from the control panel receptacle 41 . The control panel mount 41 is arranged in the side wall 111 of the bulkhead paneling 11 and thus in the bulkhead paneling 11 . The control panel 4 has control elements 42 . To operate the control panel 4, the operator can put on the strap and move freely in the rail vehicle. By removing the control panel 4, a switching element was actuated, which triggered a signal that brought the passage door into the closed position and/or bypassed or prevented the automatic opening of the passage door. In addition, a main control of the train is bridged, so that the rail vehicle can only be controlled with the control panel 4 shown here. The control panel 4 communicates wirelessly with the vehicle control. It is a partial composition that can now be routed. Seats (not shown) are arranged in the car body so that passengers can ride in the vehicle.
