La présente invention concerne un véhicule électrique terrestre de transport en commun, de type bus, car ou tram-bus, muni de capot(s) de protection de modules de stockage d'énergie électrique, en particulier rechargeables. The present invention relates to a terrestrial electric public transport vehicle, bus, bus or tram-bus, provided with cover (s) for protection of electrical energy storage modules, in particular rechargeable.
Le domaine de l'invention est le domaine des véhicules électriques terrestres de transport en commun, de type bus, car ou tram-bus, munis de modules de stockage d'énergie électrique rechargeables pour alimenter au moins un moteur électrique dudit véhicule électrique. The field of the invention is the field of terrestrial public transport vehicles, of bus, bus or tram-bus type, provided with rechargeable electrical energy storage modules for supplying at least one electric motor of said electric vehicle.
Etat de la technique State of the art
Pour diminuer la pollution dans les agglomérations, l'utilisation de véhicules électriques est en plein essor, encouragée à la fois par la prise de conscience des utilisateurs mais également par des mesures administratives incitatives favorisant l'achat et l'utilisation des véhicules électriques. Ainsi, le nombre de véhicules électriques augmente sans cesse dans tous les domaines : véhicules à usage privé, véhicules à usage partagé de type location, véhicules de transport en commun, etc.  To reduce pollution in urban areas, the use of electric vehicles is booming, encouraged both by the awareness of users but also by administrative incentives to buy and use electric vehicles. Thus, the number of electric vehicles is constantly increasing in all areas: private vehicles, rental-type shared vehicles, public transport vehicles, etc.
Le développement des véhicules électriques terrestres de transport en commun pose la question des risques et des conséquences liés aux batteries électriques équipant ces véhicules, en particulier en cas d'incendie. En effet, un incendie se déclarant au niveau d'une batterie électrique peut se propager dans tout le véhicule, et en particulier dans l'habitacle du véhicule, à une vitesse plus ou moins grande en fonction du positionnement de la batterie dans le véhicule mais aussi de la technologie de la batterie. Un tel incendie peut avoir des conséquences très graves sur le véhicule et sur les personnes se trouvant à bord du véhicule. Un but de l'invention est de proposer un véhicule électrique terrestre de transport en commun, en particulier de type bus, dans lequel les risques liés à un incendie d'une batterie sont diminués. The development of terrestrial public transport electric vehicles raises the question of the risks and consequences of the electric batteries fitted to these vehicles, particularly in the event of fire. Indeed, a fire occurring at the level of an electric battery can spread throughout the vehicle, and in particular in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, at a greater or lesser speed depending on the positioning of the battery in the vehicle but also battery technology. Such a fire can have very serious consequences for the vehicle and the people on board the vehicle. An object of the invention is to propose a terrestrial electric public transport vehicle, in particular of the bus type, in which the risks associated with a battery fire are reduced.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un véhicule électrique terrestre de transport en commun, en particulier de type bus, permettant de diminuer la dégradation dudit véhicule en cas d'incendie d'une batterie dudit véhicule.  Another object of the invention is to propose a terrestrial electric public transport vehicle, in particular of the bus type, making it possible to reduce the degradation of said vehicle in the event of fire of a battery of said vehicle.
Il est aussi un but de la présente invention de proposer un véhicule électrique terrestre de transport en commun, en particulier de type bus, permettant de mieux protéger les personnes à bord dudit véhicule et/ou descendant dudit véhicule en cas d'incendie d'une batterie dudit véhicule.  It is also an object of the present invention to propose a terrestrial electric public transport vehicle, in particular of the bus type, making it possible to better protect the persons on board said vehicle and / or descendant of said vehicle in the event of a fire in a vehicle. battery of said vehicle.
Exposé de l'invention Presentation of the invention
L'invention permet d'atteindre au moins l'un de ces buts par un véhicule électrique terrestre de transport en commun, en particulier de type bus, car ou tram-bus, comprenant au moins un module de stockage d'énergie électrique rechargeable agencé dans une paroi périphérique dudit véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre, pour au moins un module de stockage d'énergie électrique, un capot de protection muni d'au moins une ouverture d'évacuation de fumée et/ou de flamme et/ou de gaz, dans une direction s'éloignant dudit véhicule, en cas d'incendie dudit module.  The invention makes it possible to achieve at least one of these goals by a terrestrial public transport electric vehicle, in particular of the bus, bus or tram-bus type, comprising at least one rechargeable electric energy storage module arranged in a peripheral wall of said vehicle, characterized in that it further comprises, for at least one electrical energy storage module, a protective cover provided with at least one smoke and / or flame evacuation opening and / or gas, in a direction away from said vehicle, in case of fire of said module.
Ainsi, l'invention propose de prévoir, pour au moins module de stockage d'énergie électrique du véhicule électrique, un capot de protection comportant une ou plusieurs ouvertures d'évacuation de la fumée et des flammes en cas d'incendie dudit module. Un tel capot de protection permet de diriger les flammes et les fumées vers l'extérieur du véhicule, ce qui permet de diminuer, voire d'éviter, la propagation des flammes et/ou des fumées dans ledit véhicule, et en particulier dans l'habitacle dudit véhicule. Ainsi, dans le véhicule selon l'invention, les risques liés à un incendie d'un module de stockage d'énergie électrique dudit véhicule sont diminués.  Thus, the invention proposes to provide, for at least electrical energy storage module of the electric vehicle, a protective cover having one or more openings for evacuation of smoke and flame in case of fire of said module. Such a protective cover makes it possible to direct the flames and the fumes towards the outside of the vehicle, which makes it possible to reduce, or even to avoid, the propagation of the flames and / or fumes in said vehicle, and in particular in the cockpit of said vehicle. Thus, in the vehicle according to the invention, the risks associated with a fire of an electrical energy storage module of said vehicle are reduced.
De plus, les fumées et les flammes créées par un incendie d'un module de stockage d'énergie électrique étant dirigées hors dudit véhicule par les ouvertures d'évacuation, la dégradation du véhicule et les dangers pour les personnes à bord du véhicule ou aux abords du véhicule sont diminués. Dans la présente demande, par « module de stockage », on entend un ensemble comprenant un ou plusieurs éléments de stockage d'énergie électrique de type batterie ou supercapacité, éventuellement agencé(s) dans une enveloppe externe rigide. Le module de stockage peut en outre être muni d'un habillage pouvant comprendre : In addition, the fumes and flames created by a fire of an electrical energy storage module being directed out of said vehicle through the escape openings, the degradation of the vehicle and the dangers for persons on board the vehicle or around the vehicle are reduced. In the present application, the term "storage module" is intended to mean an assembly comprising one or more battery-type or supercapacitor-type electrical energy storage elements, possibly arranged in a rigid outer envelope. The storage module may further be provided with a covering that may include:
- une plaque de support sur laquelle est fixée, solidaire, l'enveloppe externe, et/ou  a support plate on which the external envelope is secured, and / or
- une ou des pièces de support latérales, disposées sur au moins un côté, telles que des barres, des tubes creux ou des cornières. Avantageusement, au moins un capot de protection d'un module peut présenter une forme repliée sur au moins deux de ses côtés, en particulier une forme en « U », de sorte à recouvrir une première face dudit module, dirigée vers l'extérieur dudit véhicule, et au moins une partie de deux faces dudit module adjacentes à ladite première face.  one or more lateral support pieces arranged on at least one side, such as bars, hollow tubes or angles. Advantageously, at least one protective cover of a module may have a folded shape on at least two of its sides, in particular a "U" shape, so as to cover a first face of said module, directed towards the outside of said vehicle, and at least a portion of two faces of said module adjacent to said first face.
Un tel capot permet de mieux protéger le module de stockage d'énergie électrique.  Such a cover makes it possible to better protect the electrical energy storage module.
Préférentiellement, pour au moins un capot de protection, au moins une, en particulier chaque, ouverture d'évacuation peut être munie d'une ventelle. Preferably, for at least one protective cover, at least one, in particular each, discharge opening may be provided with a ventelle.
Une telle ventelle permet de diriger l'ouverture d'évacuation vers une direction souhaitée, de sorte à diriger les fumées et/ou les flammes et/ou les gaz d'un incendie vers une zone de moindre danger pour le véhicule et/ou pour les personnes à bord, ou au voisinage, du véhicule.  Such a louver makes it possible to direct the discharge opening towards a desired direction, so as to direct the fumes and / or the flames and / or the gases of a fire towards a zone of least danger for the vehicle and / or for persons on board or in the vicinity of the vehicle.
Dans un premier mode de réalisation, au moins une ventelle peut être fixe.  In a first embodiment, at least one ventelle can be fixed.
Alternativement, au moins une ventelle peut être mobile, en rotation, en particulier autour d'un axe parallèle à la paroi périphérique dans laquelle est aménagé le module de stockage. Dans ce dernier cas, la rotation de la ventelle peut être ajustée, par exemple par un moteur ou un vérin prévu à cet effet. Alternatively, at least one vane can be mobile, in rotation, in particular around an axis parallel to the peripheral wall in which the storage module is arranged. In the latter case, the rotation of the vane can be adjusted, for example by a motor or a cylinder provided for this purpose.
Alternativement, la rotation de la ventelle mobile peut être réalisée naturellement par la fumée et/ou les flammes et/ou les gaz, ou l'air chaud, créé(es) par l'incendie.  Alternatively, the rotation of the movable leaf can be carried out naturally by smoke and / or flames and / or gases, or hot air, created by the fire.
Avantageusement, au moins une ouverture du capot de protection peut être dirigée suivent une direction formant un angle supérieur ou égal à 30° par rapport à la paroi périphérique, et en particulier un angle compris entre 30° et 60°, et encore plus particulièrement un angle égal à 45°. Advantageously, at least one opening of the protective cover can be directed in a direction forming an angle greater than or equal to 30 ° with respect to the peripheral wall, and in particular at an angle of between 30 ° and 60 °, and even more particularly a angle equal to 45 °.
Une telle direction imposée à l'ouverture d'évacuation permet d'évacuer les flammes et/ou les fumées et/ou les gaz, dus à un incendie, de manière guidée.  Such a direction imposed on the discharge opening makes it possible to evacuate the flames and / or the fumes and / or the gases, due to a fire, in a guided manner.
Une telle direction peut être imposée à l'ouverture d'évacuation grâce à une ventelle telle que décrite plus haut, inclinée suivant un angle indiqué ci-dessus.  Such a direction can be imposed on the discharge opening by means of a ventelle as described above, inclined at an angle indicated above.
Suivant un mode de réalisation, au moins un module de stockage d'énergie électrique peut être disposé dans la paroi supérieure, ou dans le pavillon, du véhicule. According to one embodiment, at least one electrical energy storage module may be disposed in the upper wall, or in the roof, of the vehicle.
En particulier, au moins un module peut être disposé dans un logement, dit berceau, prévu dans l'épaisseur du pavillon du véhicule de sorte qu'il ne fait pas saillie de la face supérieure de la paroi supérieure du véhicule.  In particular, at least one module can be disposed in a housing, said cradle, provided in the thickness of the roof of the vehicle so that it does not protrude from the upper face of the upper wall of the vehicle.
Le capot de protection d'au moins un module de stockage disposé dans la paroi supérieure peut avantageusement être disposé au-dessus dudit module, en particulier de sorte qu'il ne fait pas saillie de la face supérieure de la paroi supérieure du véhicule.  The protective cover of at least one storage module disposed in the upper wall may advantageously be disposed above said module, in particular so that it does not protrude from the upper face of the upper wall of the vehicle.
Avantageusement, au moins une ouverture d'évacuation d'au moins un capot de protection peut être dirigée dans une direction fuyant une paroi du véhicule comportant les portes de montée et de descente des voyageurs dans un habitacle dudit véhicule. Une telle direction est, généralement mais pas nécessairement, dirigée vers la route et s'éloigne du trottoir. Advantageously, at least one discharge opening of at least one protective cover can be directed in a direction away from a wall of the vehicle comprising the doors for raising and lowering passengers in a passenger compartment of said vehicle. Such a direction is, generally but not necessarily, directed towards the road and away from the sidewalk.
Cette architecture permet de diminuer les risques pour les personnes descendant du véhicule en cas d'incendie, et pour les personnes se trouvant à proximité du véhicule.  This architecture reduces the risk for people coming out of the vehicle in case of fire, and for people in the vicinity of the vehicle.
Le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre au moins un boîtier électrique/électronique de gestion d'au moins un module de stockage. Un tel boîtier peut être positionné en périphérie du module de stockage. The vehicle according to the invention may comprise at least one electrical / electronic box for managing at least one storage module. Such a housing can be positioned at the periphery of the storage module.
Dans ce cas, au moins une ouverture d'évacuation du capot de protection peut être préférentiellement dirigée dans une direction fuyant ledit au moins un boîtier électrique/électronique de gestion, de sorte à protéger ledit boîtier de gestion en cas d'incendie. Alternativement ou en plus, au moins un capot de protection peut se prolonger entre au moins un boîtier électrique/électronique de gestion et au moins un module de stockage.  In this case, at least one evacuation opening of the protective cover may be preferably directed in a direction away from said at least one electrical / electronic management unit, so as to protect said management box in the event of a fire. Alternatively or additionally, at least one protective cover may extend between at least one electrical / electronic management unit and at least one storage module.
Ainsi, le capot de protection permet de confiner le module de stockage par rapport au boîtier de gestion, et vice versa, de sorte que le boîtier de gestion est mieux protégé en cas d'incendie d'un module de stockage.  Thus, the protective cover makes it possible to confine the storage module with respect to the management unit, and vice versa, so that the management unit is better protected in case of fire of a storage module.
Alternativement ou en plus, au moins un module de stockage peut être disposé dans, ou du côté de, une paroi arrière dudit véhicule. Alternatively or in addition, at least one storage module may be disposed in, or on the side of, a rear wall of said vehicle.
En particulier, au moins un module de stockage peut être disposé dans un logement, dit arrière, prévu du côté de la face arrière dudit véhicule.  In particular, at least one storage module may be disposed in a housing, said rear, provided on the side of the rear face of said vehicle.
Le capot de protection d'au moins un module de stockage disposé dans la paroi arrière peut être disposé devant ledit module, vu de la paroi arrière.  The protective cover of at least one storage module disposed in the rear wall can be arranged in front of said module, seen from the rear wall.
Dans ce mode réalisation, au moins une ouverture d'évacuation du capot de protection peut être dirigée vers le bas, c'est-à-dire vers le sol. In this embodiment, at least one discharge opening of the protective cover can be directed downwards, that is to say toward the ground.
En particulier, lorsque l'ouverture d'évacuation est munie d'une ventelle, cette dernière peut être inclinée vers le bas, c'est-à-dire vers le sol. Cette architecture permet de diminuer les risques pour les personnes se trouvent à proximité de l'arrière du véhicule, telle que les personnes se trouvant sur un trottoir ou les personnes montant ou descendant du véhicule par une partie arrière du véhicule. In particular, when the discharge opening is provided with a ventelle, the latter can be inclined downwards, that is to say towards the ground. This architecture reduces the risk to people near the rear of the vehicle, such as people on a sidewalk or people coming up or down the vehicle from a rear part of the vehicle.
Le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre plusieurs modules adjacents, en particulier disposés dans plusieurs compartiments indépendants les uns des autres. The vehicle according to the invention may comprise several adjacent modules, in particular arranged in several compartments independent of each other.
Les modules de stockage peuvent en outre être alignés dans une direction donnée.  The storage modules may further be aligned in a given direction.
Par exemple, le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre plusieurs, en particulier quatre, modules adjacents disposés du côté de sa paroi supérieure. Dans ce cas, les modules de stockage peuvent être alignés dans une direction longitudinale du véhicule, généralement horizontale.  For example, the vehicle according to the invention may comprise several, in particular four, adjacent modules arranged on the side of its upper wall. In this case, the storage modules can be aligned in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, generally horizontal.
Alternativement, ou en plus, le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre plusieurs, en particulier quatre, modules adjacents disposés du côté de sa paroi arrière. Dans ce cas, les modules de stockage peuvent être alignés dans une direction verticale. Dans le cas où le véhicule comprend plusieurs modules de stockage, le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre un capot de protection individuel pour au moins un, en particulier chacun, desdits modules adjacents. Un tel capot de protection individuel permet d'accéder à chaque module indépendamment et présente des dimensions et un poids facilitant sa manipulation.  Alternatively, or in addition, the vehicle according to the invention may comprise several, in particular four, adjacent modules disposed on the side of its rear wall. In this case, the storage modules can be aligned in a vertical direction. In the case where the vehicle comprises several storage modules, the vehicle according to the invention may comprise an individual protective cover for at least one, in particular each, of said adjacent modules. Such an individual protective cover provides access to each module independently and has dimensions and a weight facilitating its handling.
Alternativement ou en plus, le véhicule peut comprendre un capot de protection commun à au moins deux, en particulier à l'ensemble, des modules adjacents. Un tel capot de protection commun permet de diminuer le temps et la main d'œuvre pour son installation.  Alternatively or additionally, the vehicle may comprise a protective cover common to at least two, in particular to the assembly, adjacent modules. Such a common protective cover reduces the time and labor for installation.
Dans le cas où le véhicule comprend plusieurs modules de stockage adjacents, ledit véhicule peut comprendre, au moins entre deux modules adjacents, au moins une paroi de protection résistante à l'incendie disposée entre lesdits modules adjacents. Une telle paroi de protection anti-incendie permet de protéger un module de stockage d'un incendie du module de stockage adjacent et de retarder au maximum la propagation de l'incendie d'un module à l'autre. Avantageusement, dans le cas où le véhicule comprend plusieurs modules de stockage adjacents, le véhicule selon l'invention peut comprendre, au moins entre deux modules adjacents, deux parois de protection résistantes à l'incendie disposées entre lesdits modules adjacents, et disposées à distance l'une de l'autre, dans la direction d'alignement des modules. In the case where the vehicle comprises several adjacent storage modules, said vehicle may comprise, at least between two adjacent modules, at least one fire-resistant protective wall disposed between said adjacent modules. Such a fire protection wall protects a storage module from a fire in the adjacent storage module and minimizes the spread of fire from one module to another.

La FIGURE 1 est une représentation schématique, suivant une vue de côté, d'un exemple de réalisation non limitatif d'un véhicule selon l'invention. Le véhicule 100 représenté sur la FIGURE 1 est un bus électrique.FIGURE 1 is a schematic representation, in a side view, of a non-limiting embodiment of a vehicle according to the invention. The vehicle 100 shown in FIGURE 1 is an electric bus.
Le bus électrique 100 comporte une paroi supérieure 102, une paroi arrière 104, une paroi avant 106, deux parois latérales, dont uniquement la paroi latérale 108 est visible sur la FIGURE 1, et une paroi inférieure 110. The electric bus 100 has an upper wall 102, a rear wall 104, a front wall 106, two side walls, of which only the side wall 108 is visible in FIG. 1, and a bottom wall 110.
Le bus électrique 100 comporte un ou plusieurs moteurs électriques The electric bus 100 comprises one or more electric motors
(non représentés) permettant de mettre en mouvement ledit bus. (not shown) for moving said bus.
Le bus 100 comprend quatre modules 112i-1124, dits supérieurs, de stockage d'énergie électrique disposés dans un logement aménagé dans la paroi supérieure 102 du bus 100. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la FIGURE 1, chaque module de stockage supérieur 112 est disposé dans la paroi supérieure et sensiblement centré par rapport aux parois latérales dans le sens de la largeur du bus 100. Les modules de stockage supérieurs 112 sont alignés les uns derrière les autres dans la direction longitudinale du bus, à distance des parois avant 106 et arrière 104, légèrement du côté de la paroi avant 106. The bus 100 comprises four modules 112i-112 4 , said upper, electrical energy storage arranged in a housing provided in the upper wall 102 of the bus 100. In the example shown in FIGURE 1, each upper storage module 112 is disposed in the upper wall and substantially centered with respect to the side walls in the width direction of the bus 100. The upper storage modules 112 are aligned one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the bus, away from the front walls 106 and rear 104, slightly on the side of the front wall 106.
Chaque module de stockage supérieur 112 est entièrement logé dans l'épaisseur de la paroi supérieure 102 de sorte qu'aucun module de stockage supérieur 112 ne fait saillie hors de la paroi supérieure 102, et plus précisément hors de la face supérieure de la paroi supérieure 102. Ainsi, la face supérieure de la paroi supérieure 102 est lisse et ne comporte pas d'élément ou de forme pouvant constituer une résistance à l'air lorsque le bus 100 est en mouvement.  Each upper storage module 112 is entirely housed in the thickness of the upper wall 102 so that no upper storage module 112 projects out of the upper wall 102, and more specifically out of the upper face of the upper wall. 102. Thus, the upper face of the upper wall 102 is smooth and has no element or shape that can constitute an air resistance when the bus 100 is in motion.
Le bus 100 comprend en outre quatre modules 114i-1144, dits arrières, de stockage d'énergie électrique disposés dans un logement aménagé dans la paroi arrière 104 du bus 100. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la FIGURE 1, chaque module de stockage arrière 114 est disposé dans la paroi arrière et sensiblement centré par rapport aux parois latérales dans le sens de la largeur du bus. Les modules de stockage arrières 114 sont alignés les uns sur les autres dans la direction verticale. The bus 100 further comprises four modules 114i-114 4 , said rear, electrical energy storage arranged in a housing provided in the rear wall 104 of the bus 100. In the example shown in FIGURE 1, each storage module rear 114 is disposed in the rear wall and substantially centered with respect to the side walls in the width direction of the bus. The rear storage modules 114 are aligned with each other in the vertical direction.
Chaque module de stockage 112 et 114 peut comporter une ou plusieurs batterie(s), une ou plusieurs supercapacité(s), etc., et plus généralement mettre en œuvre toute technologie de stockage d'énergie électrique, et préférentiellement des batteries LMP®. Le bus 100 comprend des portes 116, aménagées dans la paroi latérale 108, et permettant aux voyageurs de monter et descendre du bus 100. La paroi latérale 108 est celle se trouvant du côté du trottoir. Each storage module 112 and 114 may comprise one or more batteries, one or more supercapacitors, etc., and more generally implement any electrical energy storage technology, and preferably LMP® batteries. The bus 100 includes doors 116, provided in the side wall 108, and allowing the passengers to get on and off the bus 100. The side wall 108 is the one on the side of the sidewalk.
Bien entendu, le nombre de modules de stockage n'est pas limité à 8 et peut être supérieur ou égal à 1. En particulier, le nombre de modules de stockage correspond au maximum de modules de stockage d'énergie électrique dépendant notamment du poids du véhicule et de l'autonomie jugée suffisante pour le fonctionnement du véhicule.  Of course, the number of storage modules is not limited to 8 and can be greater than or equal to 1. In particular, the number of storage modules corresponds to the maximum of electrical energy storage modules depending in particular on the weight of the storage module. vehicle and the range deemed sufficient for the operation of the vehicle.
La FIGURE 2 est une représentation schématique partielle, selon une vue de dessus, de la paroi supérieure du véhicule de la FIGURE 1, sans élément d'habillage externe de ladite paroi. FIGURE 2 is a partial schematic representation, in a view from above, of the upper wall of the vehicle of FIGURE 1, without outer cladding element of said wall.
Tel que visible sur la FIGURE 2, chaque module supérieur 112i-1124 est disposé dans un logement individuel, indépendamment des autres modules 112i-1124. As seen in FIG. 2, each upper module 112i-112 4 is disposed in an individual housing, independently of the other modules 112i-112 4 .
Chaque module 112i-1124 est muni d'un capot de protection individuel, respectivement 202i-2024, disposé au-dessus dudit module 112i- 1124. Ainsi, chaque capot de protection 202i-2024 d'un module de stockage supérieur 112i-1124 peut être démonté individuellement des autres capots de protection. Each module 112i-112 4 is provided with an individual protective cover, respectively 202i-202 4 , disposed above said module 112- 112 4 . Thus, each protective cover 202i-202 4 of an upper storage module 112i-112 4 can be removed individually from the other protective covers.
Chaque capot de protection 202i-2024 comporte des ouvertures d'évacuation de fumées, et/ou de flammes et/ou des gaz, munies, chacune, de ventelles 204 fixes. Chaque ventelle 204 de chaque capot 202 est orientée suivant un angle de 45° par rapport au plan général formé par le capot de protection 202, ou plan général de la paroi supérieure 102. De plus, chaque ventelle 204 est orientée vers la paroi latérale opposée à la paroi latérale 108 qui comporte les portes 116 de montée et descente, de sorte que les fumées, et/ou les flammes et/ou les gaz, sont dirigées à l'opposé de la paroi 108. Ainsi, en cas d'incendie d'un des modules de stockage supérieur 112, les voyageurs peuvent descendre du véhicule, dans des conditions moins risquées, et seront moins, voire pas du tout, exposés aux fumées/flammes/gaz lors de leur descente du véhicule 100. Chaque capot de protection 202 peut être réalisé en tôle, de préférence en acier, ou en une matière minérale résistante au feu. Each protective cover 202i-202 4 includes smoke evacuation openings, and / or flames and / or gases, each provided with fixed louvers 204. Each louver 204 of each hood 202 is oriented at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the general plane formed by the protective hood 202, or general plane of the upper wall 102. In addition, each louver 204 is oriented towards the opposite side wall. the side wall 108 which has the doors 116 up and down, so that the fumes, and / or the flames and / or gas, are directed away from the wall 108. Thus, in case of fire of one of the upper storage modules 112, travelers can get off the vehicle, under less risky conditions, and will be less, if at all, exposed to smoke / flames / gas during their descent from the vehicle 100. Each protective cover 202 may be made of sheet metal, preferably steel, or a fire-resistant mineral material.
De plus, dans l'exemple représenté sur la FIGURE 2, le capot de protection 202 d'un module de stockage supérieur 112 recouvre uniquement le module de stockage supérieur 112 et laisse accès à un boîtier électrique/électronique de gestion du module de stockage 112 associé, respectivement 206i-2064, disposé en périphérie de chaque module 112i- 1124. De plus, les ventelles 204 sont dirigées dans une direction fuyant les boîtiers 206, de sorte que ces derniers sont protégés en cas d'incendie dans un des modules de stockage 112. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the protective cover 202 of an upper storage module 112 covers only the upper storage module 112 and allows access to an electrical / electronic box for managing the storage module 112. associated, respectively 206i-206 4 , disposed at the periphery of each module 112- 112 4 . In addition, the louvers 204 are directed in a direction away from the housings 206, so that the latter are protected in case of fire in one of the storage modules 112.
Tel que visible sur la FIGURE 2, des parois de protection 208i-2086, résistantes à l'incendie, sont disposées entre les modules de stockage 112i- 1124. As seen in FIG. 2, fire-resistant protective walls 208i-208 6 are arranged between the storage modules 112-112 4 .
En particulier, deux parois de protection résistantes à l'incendie 208i et 2082 sont disposées entre les modules 112i et 1122, à distance l'une de l'autre. La paroi de protection 208i se trouve du côté du module de stockage 112i et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 112i et la paroi de protection 2082 se trouve du côté du module de stockage 1122 et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 1122. In particular, two fire-resistant protective walls 208 1 and 208 2 are disposed between the modules 112 1 and 112 2 , at a distance from one another. The protective wall 208i is on the side of the storage module 112i and is fixed to the compartment in which the module 112i is located and the protective wall 208 2 is on the side of the storage module 112 2 and is fixed to the compartment in which there is said module 112 2 .
Deux parois de protection résistantes à l'incendie 2083 et 2084 sont disposées entre les modules 1122 et 1123, à distance l'une de l'autre. La paroi de protection 2083 se trouve du côté du module de stockage 1122 et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 1122 et la paroi de protection 2084 se trouve du côté du module de stockage 1123 et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 1123. Two fire-resistant protective walls 208 3 and 208 4 are disposed between the modules 112 2 and 112 3 at a distance from each other. The protective wall 208 3 is on the side of the storage module 112 2 and is fixed to the compartment in which said module 112 2 is located and the protective wall 208 4 is on the side of the storage module 112 3 and is fixed to the compartment in which the module 112 is located 3 .
Deux parois de protection résistantes à l'incendie 2085 et 2086 sont disposées entre les modules 1123 et 1124, à distance l'une de l'autre. La paroi de protection 2085 se trouve du côté du module de stockage 1123 et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 1123 et la paroi de protection 2086 se trouve du côté du module de stockage 1124 et est fixée au compartiment dans lequel se trouve ledit module 1124. Two fire-resistant protective walls 208 5 and 208 6 are disposed between the modules 112 3 and 112 4 at a distance from one another. The protective wall 208 5 is on the side of the storage module 112 3 and is fixed to the compartment in which said module 112 3 is located and the protective wall 208 6 is on the side of the storage module 112 4 and is fixed to the compartment in which said module 112 is located 4 .
Chacune des parois de protection 208i-2086 forme un plan perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale dans laquelle les modules 112i- 1124 sont alignés. Chaque paroi de protection 208i-2086 remonte jusqu'au niveau supérieur de chaque module de stockage 112i-1124. Chaque paroi de protection 208i-2086 est réalisée, de préférence, en tôle. Each of the protection walls 208i-208 6 form a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction wherein the 112i- 112 4 modules are aligned. Each protective wall 208i-208 6 goes back to top level of each storage module 112i-112 4 . Each protective wall 208i-208 6 is preferably made of sheet metal.
La FIGURE 3 est une représentation schématique, selon une vue éclatée, d'un module de stockage supérieur et de son capot de protection. FIGURE 3 is a schematic representation, in an exploded view, of an upper storage module and its protective cover.
Le module de stockage 112 peut être l'un quelconque des modules de stockage supérieurs 112i-1124, représentés sur les FIGURES 1 et 2. De même, le capot de protection 202 peut être l'un quelconque des capots de protection 202i-2024, représentés sur les FIGURES 1 et 2. The storage module 112 may be any of the upper storage modules 112i-112 4 , shown in FIGURES 1 and 2. Similarly, the protective cover 202 may be any of the protective covers 202i-202 4 , shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
Tel que représenté sur la FIGURE 3, la capot de protection 202 du module supérieur 112 présente une section en forme de « U », de sorte à protéger la face supérieure du module 112 mais également au moins une partie de deux faces latérales opposées du module 112.  As shown in FIG. 3, the protective cover 202 of the upper module 112 has a U-shaped section, so as to protect the upper face of the module 112 but also at least a portion of two opposite lateral faces of the module 112.
Le capot de protection 202 est positionné suivant une direction transversale du véhicule 100, de sorte que chaque branche du capot de protection 202 en forme de « U », c'est-à-dire chaque branche du « U », est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale du véhicule 100. Par conséquent, chaque branche du capot de protection 202 protège une face du module supérieur 112 dans le sens transversal du véhicule 100.  The protective cover 202 is positioned in a transverse direction of the vehicle 100, so that each branch of the protective cover 202 in the form of a "U", that is to say each branch of the "U", is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 100. Therefore, each branch of the protective cover 202 protects a face of the upper module 112 in the transverse direction of the vehicle 100.
Le capot de protection 202 est fixé à un réceptacle 302, se présentant sous la forme d'un bac ouvert vers le haut, et dans lequel est disposé le module de stockage 112, par des baguettes de fixation 304.  The protective cover 202 is fixed to a receptacle 302, in the form of an upwardly open container, and in which the storage module 112 is arranged, by fixing rods 304.
Les FIGURES 4a et 4b sont des représentations très schématiques et très simplifiées, du module de stockage supérieur 112 muni de son capot de protection 202, représenté sur la FIGURE 3. FIGURES 4a and 4b are highly schematic and very simplified representations of the upper storage module 112 provided with its protective cover 202, shown in FIG. 3.
La FIGURE 4a est une représentation selon une vue en coupe suivant la ligne AA de la FIGURE 3, et la FIGURE 4b est une représentation selon une vue isométrique de côté.  FIGURE 4a is a sectional view along line AA of FIGURE 3, and FIGURE 4b is a representation in an isometric side view.
Le capot de protection 202 présente une forme générale en « U » qui enveloppe le module de stockage supérieur 112 sur sa face supérieure et sur une partie de ses faces latérales. Le capot de protection 202 recouvre, au moins en partie, les faces latérales du module de stockage 112 qui, en utilisation, se trouvent du côté des autres modules de stockage adjacents, c'est-à-dire les faces latérales du module de stockage 112 perpendiculaires à la direction suivant laquelle les modules de stockage 112 sont alignés. The protective cover 202 has a generally "U" shape which envelops the upper storage module 112 on its upper face and on a portion of its lateral faces. The protective cover 202 covers, at less in part, the side faces of the storage module 112 which, in use, are on the side of the other adjacent storage modules, that is to say the lateral faces of the storage module 112 perpendicular to the direction in which the storage modules 112 are aligned.
Ainsi, le capot de protection 202 permet de canaliser les fumées, les flammes et/ou les gaz, et plus généralement l'incendie du module de stockage 112, vers les ouvertures d'évacuation 402 munies des ventelles 204.  Thus, the protective cover 202 makes it possible to channel the fumes, the flames and / or the gases, and more generally the fire of the storage module 112, towards the discharge openings 402 provided with the louvers 204.
Les ventelles 204 sont dirigées selon un angle, par exemple de 45°, et permettent d'évacuer les fumées/flammes/gaz dus à un incendie vers une direction présentant le moins de dangers pour les piétons et les personnes descendant du véhicule ou plus généralement aux abords du véhicule.  The louvers 204 are directed at an angle, for example 45 °, and allow to evacuate the fumes / flames / gases due to a fire towards a direction presenting the least dangers for pedestrians and people coming down from the vehicle or more generally around the vehicle.
Le capot de protection 202 comporte, par exemple, dix ventelles 204 dirigées, par exemple, selon un angle de 45°, et qui permettent d'évacuer les fumées/flammes/gaz provoqués par un incendie vers une direction présentant le moins de dangers pour les piétons et les personnes descendant du véhicule ou plus généralement aux abords du véhicule.  The protective cover 202 comprises, for example, ten louvers 204 directed, for example, at an angle of 45 °, and which make it possible to evacuate the fumes / flames / gases caused by a fire towards a direction presenting the least dangers for pedestrians and persons coming down from the vehicle or more generally around the vehicle.
La FIGURE 5 est une représentation schématique partielle, selon une vue en coupe, de la paroi arrière du véhicule de la FIGURE 1. FIGURE 5 is a partial schematic representation, in a sectional view, of the rear wall of the vehicle of FIGURE 1.
Tel que visible sur la FIGURE 5, chaque module arrière 114i-1144 est disposé dans un logement individuel, indépendamment des autres modules 114i-1144. Chaque logement individuel se présente sous la forme d'un rack. As can be seen in FIG. 5, each rear module 114i-114 4 is disposed in an individual housing, independently of the other modules 114i-114 4 . Each individual dwelling is in the form of a rack.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la FIGURE 5, les modules de stockage In the example shown in FIG. 5, the storage modules
