Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Schienenfahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Danach ist vorgesehen ein Schienenfahrzeug mit einem ersten Innenraumabschnitt mit einem Fußboden auf einer ersten Fußbodenhöhe und einem an den ersten Innenraumabschnitt angrenzenden zweiten Innenraumabschnitt mit einem Fußboden auf einer zweiten Fußbodenhöhe, die oberhalb der ersten Fußbodenhöhe des ersten Innenraumabschnitts liegt, wobei zur Überwindung der Differenz zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Fußbodenhöhe eine Hubanordnung mit einer Hubliftplattform vorgesehen ist, die zur Aufnahme einer in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkten Person bemessen ist, wobei die Hubanordnung dem zweiten Innenraumabschnitt unmittelbar benachbart in dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt angeordnet ist und die Hubliftplattform zwischen einer unteren Position, bei der ihre Oberseite mit einer Oberseite des Fußbodens im ersten Innenraumabschnitt fluchtet, und einer oberen Position, bei der ihre Oberseite mit einer Oberseite des Fußbodens im zweiten Innenraumabschnitt fluchtet, mittels eines Antriebs vertikal verfahrbar ist.
Ein solches Schienenfahrzeug ist aus der DE 699 27 010 T2 bekannt. Zum technischen Hintergrund der Erfindung zählt noch die DE 10 2007 018 756 A1 , die eine mit fahrbaren Treppen gekoppelte Hubliftplattform zum Gegenstand hat.
Ein solches Schienenfahrzeug ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2012 204 304 A1 bekannt. Die dort eingesetzte Hubliftplattform ist unmittelbar in einem Einstiegsbereich des Schienenfahrzeugs vorgesehen, der insbesondere auch ein Betreten und Verlassen des Schienenfahrzeugs durch in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkten Personen gestattet. Durch ihre Anordnung im Einstiegsbereich des Schienenfahrzeugs wird die Nutzung dieses Einstiegs jedoch für andere Fahrgäste wesentlich eingeschränkt. In dem Fall, wenn beispielsweise ein Rollstuhlfahrer als in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkte Person die Hubliftplattform benutzt, ist ein Einstieg anderer Fahrgäste erheblich erschwert.The invention relates to a rail vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1. According to this, a rail vehicle is provided with a first interior section with a floor at a first floor level and a second interior section adjoining the first interior section with a floor at a second floor level above the first floor level of the first interior section, a lifting arrangement with a lift platform is provided to overcome the difference between the first and the second floor level, which is dimensioned to accommodate a person with restricted mobility, the lifting arrangement being immediately adjacent to the second interior section in the first Interior section is arranged and the lift platform between a lower position in which its top is flush with a top of the floor in the first interior section, and an upper position in which its top with a top of the floor is aligned in the second interior section, can be moved vertically by means of a drive.
Such a rail vehicle is from DE 699 27 010 T2 known. The technical background of the invention also includes DE 10 2007 018 756 A1 , the subject of which is a lift platform coupled with mobile stairs.
Such a rail vehicle is, for example, from DE 10 2012 204 304 A1 known. The lift platform used there is provided directly in an entry area of the rail vehicle, which in particular also allows people with restricted mobility to enter and exit the rail vehicle. Due to their arrangement in the entry area of the rail vehicle, however, the use of this entry is significantly restricted for other passengers. In the case, for example, when a wheelchair user uses the lift platform as a person with restricted mobility, it is considerably more difficult for other passengers to board.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Schienenfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu entwickeln, dass ein allgemeiner Einstieg von Fahrgästen in das Schienenfahrzeug erleichtert wird.Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object of further developing a rail vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a general entry of passengers into the rail vehicle is made easier.

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

Ein solches Fahrzeug zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Hubanordnung zwei jeweils seitlich von der Hubliftplattform ausgehende, gekoppelt an eine Vertikalbewegung der Hubliftplattform in vertikaler Richtung ein- und ausfahrbare Treppen aufweist, von denen die eine an den Fußboden des ersten Innenraumabschnitts und die andere an den Fußboden des zweiten Innenraumabschnitts anschließt.Such a vehicle is characterized in that the lifting arrangement has two staircases, each starting laterally from the lifting platform and coupled to a vertical movement of the lifting platform, which can be retracted and extended in the vertical direction, one of which leads to the floor of the first interior section and the other to the Floor of the second interior section connects.

Durch die gewählte Position der Hubanordnung in einem Übergangsbereich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Innenraumabschnitt ergibt es sich, dass sie entfernt von einem Einstieg des Schienenfahrzeugs liegt, so dass dieser Einstieg für Fahrgäste uneingeschränkt benutzbar ist. Die vorgesehene Hubanordnung gestattet es jedoch für in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkte Personen, einen Wechsel zwischen den Innenraumabschnitten mit unterschiedlicher Fußbodenhöhe vorzunehmen. Dabei wird das Ein- und Ausfahren der beiden vorgesehenen Treppen gegenläufig erfolgen. Wenn die eine der Treppen ihre flache Position einnimmt, ist die andere vollständig ausgefahren und umgekehrt. Dabei ist immer gewährleistet, dass die ausgefahrenen Treppen ggf. auch von nicht in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkten Personen benutzt werden können.The selected position of the lifting arrangement in a transition area between the first and the second interior section means that it is located away from an entrance to the rail vehicle, so that this entrance can be used by passengers without restriction. However, the proposed lifting arrangement allows people with restricted mobility to change between the interior sections with different floor heights. The entry and exit of the two provided stairs will be done in opposite directions. When one of the stairs is in its flat position, the other is fully extended and vice versa. It is always guaranteed that the extended stairs can also be used by people who are not restricted in their mobility.

Die Hubanordnung kann in einem Durchgang des ersten Innenraumabschnitts angeordnet sein. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass eine Absicherung der Hubanordnung zur Seite, d.h. senkrecht zu einer Bewegungsrichtung der Fahrgäste, entbehrlich ist.The lifting arrangement can be arranged in a passage of the first interior section. This offers the advantage that securing the lifting arrangement to the side, i.e. perpendicular to a direction of movement of the passengers, is dispensable.

Dabei kann der Durchgang zur einen Seite durch eine Seitenwandinnenverkleidung und zur anderen Seite durch ein Einbaumodul begrenzt sein. Das Einbaumodul kann bevorzugt von einem Sanitärmodul gebildet sein. In dieser Weise ergibt sich eine zweckdienliche Realisierung des Durchgangs, ohne dass zusätzliche Einbauten in dem Schienenfahrzeug vorzunehmen sind.The passage can be limited on one side by a side wall lining and on the other side by a built-in module. The built-in module can preferably be formed by a sanitary module. In this way, an expedient implementation of the passage results without additional installations having to be made in the rail vehicle.

An der Seitenwandinnenverkleidung können Handläufe vorgesehen sein, deren Verläufe an die Lagen der Treppen in deren ein- und/oder ausgefahrenen Position angepasst sind. Solche Handläufe erleichtern die Benutzung der Hubanordnung für Fahrgäste ohne Einschränkung bei ihrer Mobilität.Handrails can be provided on the inner side wall cladding, the courses of which are adapted to the positions of the stairs in their retracted and / or extended position. Such handrails facilitate the use of the lifting arrangement for passengers without restricting their mobility.

Im Bereich der Treppen kann jeweils eine Betätigungsvorrichtung zur Anforderung der Hubliftplattform vorgesehen sein. Diese Betätigungsvorrichtungen werden bevorzugt derart angeordnet sein, dass eine einfache Zugänglichkeit auch für unmittelbar vor einer betreffenden Treppe stehende Rollstuhlfahrer gegeben ist.In the area of the stairs, an actuating device can be provided to request the lift platform. These actuating devices are preferably arranged in such a way that easy access is also provided for wheelchair users standing directly in front of a staircase concerned.

Im Bereich der Hubliftplattform kann eine Betätigungsvorrichtung zur Bewegung der Hubvorrichtung von der oberen Position in die untere und umgekehrt vorgesehen sein. Dies ermöglicht es einem Benutzer der Hubliftplattform, nach Einnahme der Position auf der Hubliftplattform die gewünschte Vertikalbewegung nach oben oder nach unten auszulösen.An actuating device for moving the lifting device from the upper position to the lower position and vice versa can be provided in the area of the lift platform. This enables a user of the lift platform to trigger the desired vertical movement upwards or downwards after taking up the position on the lift platform.

Bevorzugt umfasst der erste Innenraumabschnitt einen Einstiegsbereich des Schienenfahrzeugs, der in seiner Höhe an eine vorgegebene Bahnsteighöhe angepasst ist. Insofern ist der Einstiegsbereich geeignet, dass Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität ohne Weiteres vom Bahnsteig in das Schienenfahrzeug gelangen und dieses auch wieder verlassen können. Die Hubanordnung wird auch in diesem Fall entfernt von einem Einstieg im ersten Innenraumabschnitt liegen, so dass eine vorteilhafte Zugänglichkeit des Einstiegs für sämtliche Personen erreicht wird.The first interior section preferably comprises an entry area of the rail vehicle, the height of which is adapted to a predetermined platform height. In this respect, the entry area is suitable for people with restricted mobility to easily get from the platform into the rail vehicle and also to leave it again can. In this case, too, the lifting arrangement will be located away from an entry in the first interior section, so that advantageous accessibility of the entry for all persons is achieved.

Der erste Innenraumabschnitt, insbesondere auch der Einstiegsbereich, kann über eine feste Treppe mit einem dritten Innenraumabschnitt verbunden sein, der wiederum eine gegenüber dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt erhöhte Fußbodenhöhe aufweist. Diese Fußbodenhöhe kann insbesondere mit derjenigen des zweiten Innenraumabschnitts übereinstimmen. Die feste Treppe gestattet es, dass Personen ohne eingeschränkte Mobilität neben der Treppe der Hubanordnung noch eine zusätzliche Treppe nutzten können, um weiter in den Innenraum des Schienenfahrzeugs zu gelangen.The first interior section, in particular also the entry area, can be connected via a fixed staircase to a third interior section, which in turn has a floor height that is higher than the first interior section. This floor height can in particular coincide with that of the second interior section. The fixed staircase allows people without restricted mobility to use an additional staircase in addition to the staircase of the lifting arrangement in order to get further into the interior of the rail vehicle.

Zur Realisierung der Vertikalbewegung der Treppen, insbesondere deren Einfahren und Ausfahren, ist es bevorzugt, dass die beiden Treppen jeweils wenigstens eine Treppenstufe aufweisen, die in ihrer Vertikalbewegung an die Hubliftplattform mittels einer Führungsstange gekoppelt ist, deren eines Ende an einer zugeordneten Seite der Hubliftplattform und deren anderes Ende an einen an die Treppe unmittelbar angrenzenden Fußbodenabschnitt angelenkt ist. In dieser Weise wird eine geeignete Kopplung der Vertikalbewegung der Hubliftplattform mit den Vertikalbewegungen der einzelnen Treppenstufen der beiden Treppen herbeigeführt.To realize the vertical movement of the stairs, in particular their retraction and extension, it is preferred that the two stairs each have at least one step, the vertical movement of which is coupled to the lift platform by means of a guide rod, one end of which is on an associated side of the lift platform and the other end of which is hinged to a floor section immediately adjacent to the stairs. In this way, a suitable coupling of the vertical movement of the lift platform with the vertical movements of the individual steps of the two stairs is brought about.

Wie in den Figuren 1 bis 3 veranschaulicht ist, ist ein Fahrgastinnenraum hinsichtlich seiner Fußbodenhöhe in Längsrichtung eines einzelnen Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens wie folgt aufgeteilt: der Wagen ist mit zwei jeweils endseitigen Fahrwerken 1, 2 ausgestattet, wobei sich ein erster Innenraumabschnitt 3 zwischen den Fahrwerken 1, 2 erstreckt und eine erste Fußbodenhöhe aufweist. Von einer endseitigen Einstiegstür 4 aus oberhalb des ersten Fahrwerks 1 bis hin zu einer Hubanordnung 5 erstreckt sich ein zweiter Innenraumabschnitt 6. Die Hubanordnung 5 gestattet einen Übertritt für in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkte Personen von dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt 3 zu dem zweiten Innenraumabschnitt 6 mit gegenüber dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt 3 erhöhter Fußbodenhöhe. Weiter lässt sich von dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt 3 aus ein dritter Innenraumabschnitt 7 erreichen, und zwar über eine Treppe 8. Der dritte Raumabschnitt 7 ist für Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität nicht zugänglich. Er liegt oberhalb des zweiten Fahrwerks 2 und seine Fußbodenhöhe entspricht derjenigen des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 6 oberhalb des ersten Fahrwerks 1.As in the Figures 1 to 3 is illustrated, a passenger compartment is divided in terms of its floor height in the longitudinal direction of a single rail vehicle car as follows: the car is equipped with two end-side bogies 1, 2, a first interior section 3 extends between the bogies 1, 2 and a first floor level having. A second interior section 6 extends from an entry door 4 at the end above the first chassis 1 to a lifting arrangement 5. The lifting arrangement 5 allows people with restricted mobility to pass from the first interior section 3 to the second interior section 6 opposite the first Interior section 3 of increased floor height. Furthermore, a third interior section 7 can be reached from the first interior section 3, to be precise via a staircase 8. The third room section 7 is not accessible for people with restricted mobility. It lies above the second chassis 2 and its floor height corresponds to that of the first interior section 6 above the first chassis 1.

Im Bereich des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 3 mit verminderter Fußbodenhöhe ist der Wagen mit einem Einstieg 9 für in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkte Personen ausgestattet. Solche Personen können den zweiten Innenraumabschnitt 6 unter Benutzung der Hubanordnung 5 erreichen. Dabei ist die Hubanordnung 5 innerhalb des Fahrgastinnenraums von dem Einstieg 9 entfernt angeordnet, und zwar in dem ersten Innenraumabschnitt 3 unmittelbar benachbart dem zweiten Innenraumabschnitt 6.In the area of the first interior section 3 with a reduced floor height, the car is equipped with an entrance 9 for people with restricted mobility. Such persons can reach the second interior section 6 using the lifting arrangement 5. The lifting arrangement 5 is arranged within the passenger compartment at a distance from the entrance 9, specifically in the first interior section 3 directly adjacent to the second interior section 6.

Wesentliches Element der Hubanordnung 5 ist eine Hubliftplattform 10, die mittels eines Antriebs vertikal verfahrbar ist. Die Verfahrbarkeit der Hubliftplattform 10 ist zwischen einer oberen Position, bei der ihre Oberseite mit einer Oberseite des Fußbodens im zweiten Innenraumabschnitt 6 fluchtet und einer unteren Position, bei der ihre Oberseite mit einer Oberseite des Fußbodens im ersten Innenraumabschnitt 3/Einstiegsbereich fluchtet, gegeben.An essential element of the lifting arrangement 5 is a lifting platform 10 which can be moved vertically by means of a drive. The mobility of the lift platform 10 is between an upper position in which its top is aligned with an upper side of the floor in the second interior section 6 and a lower position in which its upper side is aligned with an upper side of the floor in the first interior section 3 / entry area.

Wie insbesondere Figur 1 entnehmbar ist, verläuft die Hubanordnung 5 in Längsrichtung des Wagens. Im Einzelnen ist die Hubanordnung 5 in einem Durchgang des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 3 angeordnet. Dieser Durchgang ist zur einen Seite durch eine angrenzende Seitenwandinnenverkleidung 11 und zur anderen Seite durch ein Einbaumodul begrenzt, im vorliegenden Fall ein Sanitärmodul 12.How in particular Figure 1 can be removed, the lifting arrangement 5 extends in the longitudinal direction of the carriage. In detail, the lifting arrangement 5 is arranged in a passage of the first interior section 3. This passage is delimited on the one hand by an adjoining interior side wall cladding 11 and on the other by an installation module, in the present case a sanitary module 12.

Die Hubanordnung 5 umfasst neben der Hubliftplattform 10 in Längsrichtung des Wagens jeweils seitlich von der Hubliftplattform 5 ausgehende, in vertikaler Richtung ein- und ausfahrbare Treppen 13, 14, die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils zwei Stufen umfassen. Die Treppen 13, 14 sind an eine Vertikalbewegung der Hubliftplattform 5 gekoppelt, wie später näher erläutert wird. Die Treppe 13 schließt an den Fußboden des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 3 an, während die Treppe 14 zum Anschluss der Hubliftplattform 10 an den zweiten Innenraumabschnitt 6 dient.The lifting arrangement 5 comprises, in addition to the lifting platform 10 in the longitudinal direction of the carriage, in each case laterally of the lifting platform 5, stairs 13, 14 which can be retracted and extended in the vertical direction and which in the present exemplary embodiment each comprise two steps. The stairs 13, 14 are coupled to a vertical movement of the lift platform 5, as will be explained in more detail later. The stairs 13 adjoin the floor of the first interior section 3, while the stairs 14 are used to connect the lift platform 10 to the second interior section 6.

Die Hubanordnung ist bei Nichtbenutzung durch Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität wie eine übliche Treppe benutzbar, und zwar sowohl in ihrer oberen als auch in ihrer unteren Position. Dazu sind an der Seitenwandinnenverkleidung 11 zwei Handläufe 15 vorgesehen, deren jeder einer der Treppen 13, 14 zugeordnet ist und die mit einem horizontalen Geländer der Hubliftplattform 10 zusammen wirken.When not in use by people with reduced mobility, the lifting arrangement can be used like a conventional staircase, both in its upper and in its lower position. For this purpose, two handrails 15 are provided on the side wall inner cladding 11, each of which is assigned to one of the stairs 13, 14 and which interact with a horizontal railing of the lift platform 10.

Zudem ist im Bereich der Treppen 13, 14 jeweils eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 16 zur Anforderung der Hubliftplattform 10 vorgesehen. Außerdem ist die Hubliftplattform 10 selbst mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung 17 zum Auslösen einer Bewegung der Hubanordnung 5 von der oberen Position in die untere und umgekehrt ausgestattet. Diese Betätigungsvorrichtung 17 kann von auf der Hubliftplattform 10 befindlichen Personen betätigt werden.In addition, in the area of the stairs 13, 14 there is an actuating device 16 for requesting the lifting platform 10 intended. In addition, the lifting platform 10 itself is equipped with an actuating device 17 for triggering a movement of the lifting arrangement 5 from the upper position into the lower position and vice versa. This actuating device 17 can be actuated by persons located on the lift platform 10.

Es ist ersichtlich, dass bei der in Figur 2 veranschaulichten oberen Position der Hubanordnung 5 die Hubliftplattform 10 ebenfalls ihre obere Position einnimmt, während die Treppe 13 ausgefahren und die Treppe 14 eingefahren ist. Demgegenüber nimmt die Hubanordnung 5 in Figur 3 ihre untere Position ein, bei der die Hubliftplattform 10 über die eingefahrenen Stufen der Treppe 13 an den Fußboden des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 5 anschließt, während die Stufen der Treppe 14 ausgefahren sind.It can be seen that the in Figure 2 Illustrated upper position of the lifting arrangement 5, the lifting platform 10 also assumes its upper position while the stairs 13 are extended and the stairs 14 are retracted. In contrast, the lifting arrangement 5 takes in Figure 3 its lower position, in which the lift platform 10 connects via the retracted steps of the stairs 13 to the floor of the first interior section 5, while the steps of the stairs 14 are extended.

Ergänzend ist sowohl die Hubanordnung 5 als auch der benachbarte Abschnitt der Seitenwandinnenverkleidung 11 jeweils mit einer Notrufeinrichtung 18 versehen.In addition, both the lifting arrangement 5 and the adjacent section of the side wall inner lining 11 are each provided with an emergency call device 18.

Aus Figur 4 geht nunmehr im Detail hervor, wie die Stufen der Treppe 13 einer Vertikalbewegung der Hubliftplattform 10 folgen. Figur 4 zeigt die Treppe 13 in einer eingefahrenen, einer zwischenliegenden und einer ausgefahrenen Position, bei der die Hubliftplattform 10 ihre obere Position einnimmt. Für die der Treppe 13 gegenüberliegende Treppe 14 ist eine analoge Führung für deren Treppenstufen vorzusehen.Out Figure 4 it can now be seen in detail how the steps of the stairs 13 follow a vertical movement of the lift platform 10. Figure 4 shows the stairs 13 in a retracted, an intermediate and an extended position, in which the lift platform 10 assumes its upper position. For the staircase 14 opposite the staircase 13, an analogue guide for the steps thereof is to be provided.

Treppenstufen 18, 19 der Treppe 13 sind über geeignet ausgeführte, vertikal verlaufende Schienen 20 geführt. Zudem sind die Treppenstufen 18, 19 in ihrer Vertikalbewegung an die angetriebene Hubliftplattform 10 mittels einer Führungsstange 21 gekoppelt. Die Führungsstange 21 ist sowohl an der Hubliftplattform 10 als auch im Bereich des Fußbodens des ersten Innenraumabschnitts 5 angelenkt. Die Treppenstufen 18, 19 sind einzeln über seitlich herausstehende Stifte mittels Langlöchern geführt, die in Längsrichtung der Führungsstange 21 verlaufen.Steps 18, 19 of the stairs 13 are guided over suitably designed, vertically extending rails 20. In addition, the vertical movement of the steps 18, 19 is coupled to the driven lift platform 10 by means of a guide rod 21. The guide rod 21 is articulated both on the lifting platform 10 and in the area of the floor of the first interior section 5. The steps 18, 19 are individually by means of laterally protruding pins Out of elongated holes which run in the longitudinal direction of the guide rod 21.
