Description

La présente invention concerne un véhicule, notamment ferroviaire, comprenant au moins une salle haute et une salle basse respectivement pour des voyageurs, une paroi latérale comprenant une première zone située dans la salle haute, et au moins une deuxième zone située dans la salle basse, et un système de ventilation adapté pour créer au moins un premier flux d'air le long de la première zone, et au moins un deuxième flux d'air le long de la deuxième zone.The present invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle, comprising at least one upper room and one lower room respectively for passengers, a side wall comprising a first zone located in the upper room, and at least a second zone located in the lower room, and a ventilation system adapted to create at least a first air flow along the first zone, and at least a second air flow along the second zone.

Les documents EP 3 257 716 A1 , US 2 698 569 A , US 2 794 383 A et KR 2014 0050452 A décrivent des systèmes de ventilation adaptés à des véhicules ferroviaires comprenant une salle haute et une salle basse.The documents EP 3 257 716 A1 , US 2,698,569A , US 2,794,383A and KR 2014 0050452 A describe ventilation systems suitable for railway vehicles comprising an upper room and a lower room.

Dans les véhicules ferroviaires actuels, il est connu de desservir la salle haute et la salle basse à partir d'un espace situé à une extrémité du véhicule et donnant accès à chacune des salles par une porte. Ainsi, les deux salles sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre d'un point de vue aéraulique. Le premier flux d'air reste dans la salle haute, tandis que le deuxième flux d'air reste dans la salle basse.In current railway vehicles, it is known to serve the upper room and the lower room from a space located at one end of the vehicle and giving access to each of the rooms by a door. Thus, the two rooms are independent of each other from an aeraulic point of view. The first airflow stays in the upper room, while the second airflow stays in the lower room.

Il est par ailleurs connu de permettre à des utilisateurs de passer d'un niveau haut à un niveau bas séparés par un plancher, grâce à une trémie pratiquée dans le plancher et à un escalier.It is also known to allow users to pass from a high level to a low level separated by a floor, thanks to a hopper formed in the floor and to a staircase.

Dans ce cas, la trémie forme une ouverture horizontale réalisant une communication permanente entre la salle haute et la salle basse.In this case, the hopper forms a horizontal opening providing permanent communication between the upper room and the lower room.

Si, pour des raisons d'encombrement, la trémie est disposée adjacente à la paroi latérale, et que le premier flux d'air descend vers la trémie, tandis que le deuxième flux d'air monte vers la trémie, il existe un risque de circulation anarchique des flux d'air entre la salle haute et la salle basse susceptible d'avoir des conséquences très négatives sur le confort thermique des voyageurs. Dit autrement, les réglages de température et de ventilation sélectionnés pour la salle haute vont influencer potentiellement négativement l'ambiance de la salle basse, et réciproquement.If, for space reasons, the hopper is arranged adjacent to the side wall, and the first air flow descends towards the hopper, while the second air flow rises towards the hopper, there is a risk of anarchic circulation of the air flows between the upper room and the lower room likely to have very negative consequences on the thermal comfort of passengers. In other words, the temperature and ventilation settings selected for the upper room will potentially negatively influence the atmosphere in the lower room, and vice versa.

Ainsi, un but de l'invention est de proposer un véhicule comportant une trémie permanente et améliorant le confort thermique de voyageurs présents dans la salle haute ou la salle basse.Thus, an object of the invention is to provide a vehicle comprising a permanent hopper and improving the thermal comfort of passengers present in the upper room or the lower room.

In other words, the hopper 30 is closer to the side wall 24 than to the side wall 26. For example, the hopper 30 is located less than 50 cm from the side wall 24. Advantageously, the hopper 30 does not extend beyond the median plane P towards the side wall 26.

La balustrade 66 comprend par exemple une portion 68 située du côté opposé à la paroi latérale 24 par rapport à la trémie 30 selon la direction transversale T.The balustrade 66 comprises for example a portion 68 located on the side opposite the side wall 24 with respect to the hopper 30 in the transverse direction T.

La portion 68 de la balustrade est par exemple sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction transversale T.The portion 68 of the balustrade is for example substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction T.

Comme visible sur la figure 2, l'organe d'habillage 34 est fixé sur la paroi latérale 24 et s'étend depuis la première zone 38 jusqu'à la deuxième zone selon la direction d'élévation V. L'organe d'habillage 34 fait saillie transversalement par rapport à la première zone 38 et à la deuxième zone 42. L'organe d'habillage présente avantageusement une extension transversale E mesurée depuis la paroi latérale 24, par exemple comprise entre 5 cm et 35 cm.As seen on the figure 2 , the trim member 34 is fixed to the side wall 24 and extends from the first zone 38 to the second zone in the direction of elevation V. The covering member 34 projects transversely with respect to the first zone 38 and to the second zone 42. The covering member advantageously has a transverse extension E measured from the side wall 24, for example between 5 cm and 35 cm.

L'organe d'habillage 34 définit une première surface de guidage 70 adaptée pour dévier le premier flux d'air 40 et former un troisième flux d'air 72 situé au-dessus du plancher 20 et orienté sensiblement transversalement. L'organe d'habillage définit aussi une deuxième surface de guidage 74 adaptée pour dévier le deuxième flux d'air 44 et former un quatrième flux d'air 76 situé en dessous du plancher 20 et orienté sensiblement transversalement.The trim member 34 defines a first guide surface 70 adapted to deflect the first airflow 40 and form a third airflow 72 located above the floor 20 and oriented substantially transversely. The trim member also defines a second guide surface 74 adapted to deflect the second airflow 44 and form a fourth airflow 76 located below the floor 20 and oriented substantially transversely.

Successivement selon la direction d'élévation V, l'organe d'habillage 34 comprend une partie supérieure 78 adjacente à la première zone 38 et définissant la première surface de guidage 70, une partie intermédiaire 80, et une partie inférieure 82 adjacente à la deuxième zone 42 et définissant la deuxième surface de guidage 74.Successively in the direction of elevation V, the covering member 34 comprises an upper part 78 adjacent to the first zone 38 and defining the first guide surface 70, an intermediate part 80, and a lower part 82 adjacent to the second zone 42 and defining the second guide surface 74.

L'organe d'habillage 34 s'étend avantageusement le long des fenêtres 46, 48 dans la direction longitudinale L. En variante, il s'étend longitudinalement le long de plusieurs fenêtres.The trim member 34 advantageously extends along the windows 46, 48 in the longitudinal direction L. As a variant, it extends longitudinally along several windows.

L'organe d'habillage 34 présente par exemple une forme générale rectangulaire en vue selon la direction transversale T.The trim member 34 has, for example, a generally rectangular shape in view along the transverse direction T.

L'organe d'habillage 34 est adapté pour que le troisième flux d'air 72 soit dirigé vers une moitié supérieure de la portion 68 de la balustrade 66. Selon une variante non représentée, l'organe d'habillage est configuré pour que le troisième flux d'air soit dirigé au-dessus de la balustrade 66.The covering member 34 is adapted so that the third airflow 72 is directed towards an upper half of the portion 68 of the balustrade 66. According to a variant not shown, the covering member is configured so that the third airflow is directed above the balustrade 66.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la première surface de guidage 70 et la deuxième surface de guidage 74 comprennent respectivement des surfaces proximales 84, 86 par rapport à la paroi latérale 24 selon la direction transversale T, les surfaces proximales étant concaves.In the example shown, the first guide surface 70 and the second guide surface 74 respectively comprise proximal surfaces 84, 86 relative to the side wall 24 in the transverse direction T, the proximal surfaces being concave.

Selon une variante non représentée, seule l'une des surfaces de guidage comprend une telle surface proximale concave.According to a variant not shown, only one of the guide surfaces comprises such a concave proximal surface.

La première surface de guidage 70 et la deuxième surface de guidage 74 comprennent respectivement des méplats 88, 90 sensiblement parallèles à la direction transversale T.The first guide surface 70 and the second guide surface 74 respectively comprise flats 88, 90 substantially parallel to the transverse direction T.

Selon une variante non représentée, seule l'une des surfaces de guidage comprend un tel méplat.According to a variant not shown, only one of the guide surfaces comprises such a flat.

La première surface de guidage et la deuxième surface de guidage comprennent respectivement des surfaces distales 92, 94 par rapport à la paroi latérale 24 selon la direction transversale T, les surfaces distales formant respectivement des becs en saillie par rapport à la partie intermédiaire 80 selon la direction transversale T.The first guide surface and the second guide surface respectively comprise distal surfaces 92, 94 with respect to the side wall 24 according to the transverse direction T, the distal surfaces respectively forming spouts projecting relative to the intermediate part 80 in the transverse direction T.

Selon une variante non représentée, seule l'une des surfaces de guidage forme un tel bec.According to a variant not shown, only one of the guide surfaces forms such a beak.

Selon une autre variante non représentée, l'une et/ou l'autre des surfaces distales 92, 94 sont arrondies autour de la direction longitudinale L et ne forment pas un bec.According to another variant not shown, one and/or the other of the distal surfaces 92, 94 are rounded around the longitudinal direction L and do not form a beak.

La partie intermédiaire 80 définit par exemple une surface 96 sensiblement plane reliant la première surface de guidage 70 à la deuxième surface de guidage 74.The intermediate part 80 defines for example a substantially planar surface 96 connecting the first guide surface 70 to the second guide surface 74.

Le fonctionnement du véhicule 10 se déduit de sa structure et va maintenant être brièvement expliqué.The operation of the vehicle 10 is deduced from its structure and will now be briefly explained.

L'organe d'habillage 34 est adapté pour que le troisième flux d'air 72 soit dirigé vers une moitié supérieure de la portion 68 de la balustrade 66.The covering member 34 is adapted so that the third flow of air 72 is directed towards an upper half of the portion 68 of the balustrade 66.

Selon une variante non représentée, l'organe d'habillage est configuré pour que le troisième flux d'air soit dirigé au-dessus de la balustrade 66.According to a variant not shown, the covering member is configured so that the third flow of air is directed above the balustrade 66.

Lorsque le véhicule 10 est en fonctionnement, le système de ventilation 36 crée le premier flux d'air 40 qui descend le long de la fenêtre 46, le deuxième flux d'air 44, qui remonte le long de la fenêtre 48, ainsi que les autres flux d'air 54, 56, 58, 60, 62 et 64.When the vehicle 10 is in operation, the ventilation system 36 creates the first flow of air 40 which descends along the window 46, the second flow of air 44, which rises along the window 48, as well as the other airflows 54, 56, 58, 60, 62 and 64.

En l'absence de l'organe d'habillage 34, il y aurait un risque que le premier flux d'air 40 poursuive sa course descendante à travers la trémie 30, en croisant le deuxième flux d'air 44 qui poursuivrait sa course ascendante à travers la trémie. Ceci créerait une circulation anarchique des flux d'air, dans laquelle les réglages, notamment de température, souhaités pour la salle haute 14 se communiqueraient à la salle basse 16, et inversement. L'organe d'habillage 34 est adapté pour empêcher une telle circulation anarchique.In the absence of the covering member 34, there would be a risk that the first airflow 40 would continue its downward stroke through the hopper 30, crossing the second airflow 44 which would continue its upward stroke. through the hopper. This would create an anarchic circulation of the air flows, in which the settings, in particular of temperature, desired for the upper room 14 would be communicated to the lower room 16, and vice versa. The covering member 34 is adapted to prevent such anarchic circulation.

En effet, la première surface de guidage 70 dévie le premier flux d'air 40 et forme le troisième flux d'air 72 orienté transversalement. De même, la deuxième surface de guidage 74 dévie le deuxième flux d'air 44 et forme le quatrième flux d'air 76 également orienté transversalement et situé sous le plancher 20.Indeed, the first guide surface 70 deflects the first airflow 40 and forms the third airflow 72 oriented transversely. Likewise, the second guide surface 74 deflects the second air flow 44 and forms the fourth air flow 76 also oriented transversely and located under the floor 20.

Ainsi, le quatrième flux d'air 76 reste très majoritairement dans la salle basse 16. Le quatrième flux d'air 76 est dévié par exemple vers le bas (flèche F1) sur la figure 1 lorsqu'il rencontre un flux (flèche F2) issu de la déviation du flux d'air 56 par le plancher 20.Thus, the fourth air flow 76 remains overwhelmingly in the lower room 16. The fourth air flow 76 is deflected for example downwards (arrow F1) on the figure 1 when it encounters a flow (arrow F2) resulting from the deflection of the air flow 56 by the floor 20.

Les flux d'air 58, 60, en se rencontrant, remontent (flèches F3, F4) et ne peuvent pas franchir la trémie 30 en raison des flux opposés matérialisés par les flèches F1 et F2.The air flows 58, 60, when meeting, rise (arrows F3, F4) and cannot pass through the hopper 30 because of the opposing flows materialized by the arrows F1 and F2.

Dans la salle haute 14, le troisième flux d'air 72 vient buter sur la portion 68 de la balustrade 66. En raison de la présence du quatrième flux d'air 76 et du flux matérialisé par la flèche F1, le troisième flux d'air 72 se dirige très majoritairement vers le haut et reste donc dans la salle haute 14.In the upper room 14, the third flow of air 72 abuts on the portion 68 of the balustrade 66. Due to the presence of the fourth flow of air 76 and the flow materialized by the arrow F1, the third flow of air 72 goes mainly upwards and therefore remains in the upper room 14.

Selon une variante non représentée, le troisième flux d'air 72 passe directement au-dessus de la balustrade 66.According to a variant not shown, the third air flow 72 passes directly above the balustrade 66.

Le flux d'air 54 descend le long de la fenêtre 50 et forme un rouleau (flèches F5 et F6). Le flux d'air 54 finit par remonter le long de la balustrade 66.The air flow 54 descends along the window 50 and forms a roll (arrows F5 and F6). Airflow 54 eventually rises along balustrade 66.

Les flux d'air 62, 64 se rencontrent et descendent. Toutefois, ces flux descendants ne traversent pas la trémie 30 en direction de la salle basse 16 en raison de la présence de flux d'air contraires issus du troisième flux d'air 72 et du flux représenté par la flèche F6.The airflows 62, 64 meet and descend. However, these descending flows do not pass through the hopper 30 in the direction of the lower room 16 due to the presence of opposing air flows from the third air flow 72 and the flow represented by the arrow F6.

Plus précisément, comme visible sur la figure 2, les surfaces proximales 84, 86 servent à décoller respectivement le premier flux d'air 40 et le deuxième flux d'air 44 de la première zone 38 et de la deuxième zone 42. Les méplats 88, 90 donnent leurs directions respectivement aux troisième flux d'air 72 et au quatrième flux d'air 76. Avantageusement, les becs formés par les surfaces distales 92, 94 permettent une focalisation du troisième flux d'air 72 et du quatrième flux d'air 76 et évitent qu'une partie de ces flux diffuse vers la trémie 30.More precisely, as seen in the figure 2 , the proximal surfaces 84, 86 are used to detach respectively the first air flow 40 and the second air flow 44 from the first zone 38 and from the second zone 42. The flats 88, 90 give their directions respectively to the third flows of air 72 and to the fourth air flow 76. Advantageously, the nozzles formed by the distal surfaces 92, 94 allow focusing of the third air flow 72 and of the fourth air flow 76 and prevent part of these flows diffuse towards the hopper 30.

Grâce aux caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus, notamment la présence de l'organe d'habillage 34 agissant comme un déflecteur, une circulation anarchique des flux d'air est limitée, voire évitée entre la salle haute 14 et la salle basse 16. Ainsi, les réglages de température de ces salles sont préservés. Le confort thermique des voyageurs est amélioré.Thanks to the characteristics described above, in particular the presence of the covering member 34 acting as a deflector, an anarchic circulation of the air flows is limited, even avoided between the upper room 14 and the lower room 16. Thus, the temperature settings of these rooms are preserved. The thermal comfort of passengers is improved.

En outre, l'organe d'habillage 34, grâce à son extension transversale E réduite, est peu encombrant et ne gêne pas les voyageurs lorsqu'ils empruntent l'escalier 28.In addition, the covering member 34, thanks to its reduced transverse extension E, is compact and does not bother travelers when they take the stairs 28.

De plus, l'organe d'habillage, avantageusement constitué d'une seule pièce, s'installe facilement et est peu onéreux. Avantageusement, il ne nécessite pas d'adaptation particulière des autres parties du véhicule 10.In addition, the covering member, advantageously made up of a single piece, is easily installed and is inexpensive. Advantageously, it does not require any particular adaptation of the other parts of the vehicle 10.
