Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug mit einer Deckeneinheit, welche eine schwenkbar gelagerte Deckenklappe zum Öffnen und Schließen einer Deckenöffnung sowie eine Trägervorrichtung zum Halten der Deckenklappe umfasst, wobei eine Führungsvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, mittels welcher die Trägervorrichtung in Breitenrichtung des Fahrzeugs verschiebbar gelagert ist.The invention relates to a vehicle with a ceiling unit which comprises a pivotably mounted ceiling flap for opening and closing a ceiling opening and a support device for holding the ceiling flap, a guide device being provided by means of which the support device is mounted displaceably in the width direction of the vehicle.

Ein solches Fahrzeug ist beispielsweise aus der GB 860 077 A bekannt. Dort wird eine in Querrichtung eines beispielsweise Schienenfahrzeugs oder Schiffes verschiebbare Klappennanordnung beschrieben.Such a vehicle is, for example, from GB 860 077 A famous. A flap arrangement that can be displaced in the transverse direction of a rail vehicle or ship, for example, is described there.

Es ist bekannt, bei einem Fahrzeug technische Einrichtungen in dessen Dachbereich unterzubringen. Insbesondere ist es bekannt, bei einem im Personenverkehr eingesetzten Fahrzeug, wie z. B. einem Schienenfahrzeug, technische Einrichtungen zwischen seinem Wagenkastendach und seiner Fahrgastraumdecke unterzubringen, um im Fahrgastraum des Fahrzeugs mehr Platz für Sitzplätze zur Verfügung stellen zu können.It is known to accommodate technical devices in the roof area of a vehicle. In particular, it is known in a vehicle used in passenger transport, such as. B. a rail vehicle to accommodate technical equipment between its car body roof and its passenger compartment ceiling in order to be able to provide more space for seats in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Um - insbesondere zu Wartungs- und/oder Reparaturzwecken - eine Zugänglichkeit zu solchen technischen Einrichtungen zu ermöglichen, können im Fahrzeug an- und abschraubbare Deckenelemente vorgesehen sein. Alternativ können im Fahrzeug schwenkbar gelagerte Deckenklappen vorgesehen sein. Letztere ermöglichen, im Vergleich zu an- und abschraubbaren Deckenelementen, einen schnelleren und einfacheren Zugang zu den technischen Eirichtungen, da auf ein zeit- und arbeitsaufwendiges Abschrauben und anschließendes Wiederanschrauben schwenkbar gelagerter Deckenklappen grundsätzlich verzichtet werden kann.In order to enable access to such technical devices - especially for maintenance and / or repair purposes - ceiling elements that can be screwed on and off can be provided in the vehicle. Alternatively, ceiling flaps mounted pivotably in the vehicle can be provided. Compared to ceiling elements that can be screwed on and off, the latter enable faster and easier access to the technical equipment, since there is basically no need for the time-consuming and labor-intensive unscrewing and subsequent screwing of pivoted ceiling flaps.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Deckeneinheit für ein Fahrzeug bereitzustellen, mit welcher eine verbesserte Zugänglichkeit zu im Dachbereich des Fahrzeugs angeordneten technischen Einrichtungen erreicht werden kann.One object of the invention is to provide a ceiling unit for a vehicle with which improved accessibility to technical devices arranged in the roof area of the vehicle can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Fahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a vehicle with the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeug umfasst mindestens eine schwenkbar gelagerte Deckenklappe zum Öffnen und Schließen einer Deckenöffnung sowie eine Trägervorrichtung zum Halten der Deckenklappe. Weiter umfasst die Deckeneinheit eine Führungsvorrichtung, mittels welcher die Trägervorrichtung in Breitenrichtung des Fahrzeugs verschiebbar gelagert ist.The vehicle according to the invention comprises at least one pivotably mounted ceiling flap for opening and closing a ceiling opening and a carrier device for holding the ceiling flap. The ceiling unit further comprises a guide device, by means of which the carrier device is mounted displaceably in the width direction of the vehicle.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Überlegung, dass eine Deckenklappe in ihrem geöffneten Zustand, insbesondere wenn sie dabei nach unten hängt, einen technischen Mitarbeiter, welcher im Dachbereich des Fahrzeugs angeordnete technische Einrichtungen erreichen möchte, in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit einschränken kann.The invention is based on the consideration that a ceiling flap in its open state, in particular when it hangs downwards, can restrict the freedom of movement of a technical employee who wants to reach technical equipment arranged in the roof area of the vehicle.

Ferner beruht die Erfindung auf der Überlegung, dass es von der freigegebenen Fläche einer Deckenöffnung, über welche die technischen Einrichtungen erreicht werden können, abhängig ist, wie gut die Zugänglichkeit zu den technischen Einrichtungen ist. Die durch das Öffnen der Deckenklappe freigegebene Fläche der Deckenöffnung wiederum wird bislang üblicherweise von den Abmessungen der Deckenklappe bestimmt.Furthermore, the invention is based on the consideration that it depends on the released area of a ceiling opening, through which the technical facilities can be reached, how good the accessibility to the technical facilities is. The area of the ceiling opening released by the opening of the ceiling flap, in turn, has so far usually been determined by the dimensions of the ceiling flap.

Mithilfe der Führungsvorrichtung wird eine derartige Lagerung der Trägervorrichtung erreicht, dass die Trägervorrichtung verschoben werden kann. So kann die Trägervorrichtung z. B. derart verschoben werden, dass die von der Trägervorrichtung gehaltene Deckenklappe in ihrem geöffneten Zustand, insbesondere falls die Deckenklappe dabei nach unten hängt, einen technischen Mitarbeiter nicht in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit einschränkt.With the aid of the guide device, the support device is supported in such a way that the support device can be displaced. So the carrier device z. B. be moved in such a way that the ceiling flap held by the carrier device in its open state, in particular if the ceiling flap hangs down, does not restrict a technical employee's freedom of movement.

Ferner ermöglicht eine Verschiebung der Trägervorrichtung, den im geöffneten Zustand der Deckenklappe freigegeben Bereich der Deckenöffnung zu vergrößern. Auf diese Weise kann die Zugänglichkeit zu technischen Einrichtungen im Dachbereich des Fahrzeugs verbessert werden.Furthermore, a displacement of the carrier device makes it possible to enlarge the area of the ceiling opening that is released in the open state of the ceiling flap. In this way, the accessibility to technical facilities in the roof area of the vehicle can be improved.

Im Sinne der Erfindung kann unter einer verschiebbaren Lagerung der Trägervorrichtung eine solche Lagerung verstanden werden, bei der die Trägervorrichtung von einer Stelle zu einer anderen Stelle bewegbar ist, z. B. durch eine gleitende oder rollende Bewegung. Vorzugsweise ist die Trägervorrichtung der Deckeneinheit von Hand verschiebbar.In the context of the invention, a displaceable mounting of the carrier device can be understood to mean a mounting in which the carrier device can be moved from one location to another, e.g. B. by a sliding or rolling movement. The support device of the ceiling unit is preferably displaceable by hand.

In ihrem geschlossenen Zustand muss die Deckenklappe nicht notwendigerweise die gesamte Deckenöffnung verschließen bzw. abdecken. Die Deckenklappe kann in ihrem geschlossenen Zustand beispielsweise nur einen Teil der Deckenöffnung abdecken. Umgekehrt muss die Deckenklappe in ihrem geöffneten Zustand nicht notwendigerweise die gesamte Deckenöffnung freigegeben, sondern kann beispielweise nur einen Teil der Deckenöffnung freigeben.In its closed state, the ceiling flap does not necessarily have to close or cover the entire ceiling opening. In its closed state, the ceiling flap can, for example, only cover part of the ceiling opening. Conversely, the ceiling flap does not necessarily have to release the entire ceiling opening in its open state, but can only release part of the ceiling opening, for example.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird die Trägervorrichtung von der Führungsvorrichtung mittelbar oder unmittelbar gehalten. Weiter ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Trägervorrichtung (im Falle ihrer Verschiebung) von der Führungsvorrichtung geführt wird.
