Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ramp for a public transport vehicle for bridging a gap between an entry area of the vehicle and a stationary platform on land, the ramp being designed to be placed on the platform and on a floor in the entry area of the vehicle.
  • the invention relates to a vehicle for public transport and a method for operating the ramp and the vehicle.
  • Ramps are used in public transport vehicles, in particular in rail vehicles, in order, for example, to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the rail vehicle or even to make it possible in the first place.
  • the ramps are used to bridge a gap between the boarding area of the vehicle and a platform and to create stepless entry into the vehicle, even if the top edge of the floor of the boarding area of the rail vehicle is higher or lower than the platform edge.
  • the DE 10 2011 005 238 A1 also discloses a ramp with mounting arms located at various positions laterally can be attached to the ramp.
  • the fastening arms can be connected to corresponding means that are firmly anchored on the floor in the vehicle.
  • the document JP-A-09-194039 describes a ramp device with a ramp that is designed to rest on a stationary loading ramp on the one hand and on a loading floor of a delivery vehicle on the other hand.
  • the ramp device comprises a fold-out stopper as a fixing means, which is connected to the ramp so as to be rotatable about a pivot point.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a ramp that can be installed easily and quickly while maintaining short cycle times.
  • a ramp according to the invention for a public transport vehicle, in particular for a rail vehicle, for bridging, in particular steplessly, a gap between an entry area of the vehicle and a land-based, stationary platform, in particular a platform, is to be placed on the platform on the one hand and on a floor formed in the entry area of the vehicle on the other hand and comprises at least one, arranged in the area of one side of the ramp, laterally aligned fork for fixing the ramp to the vehicle for enclosing a door leaf of an entry door of the vehicle.
  • the fork is designed in a U-shape for gripping around a door leaf of an entry door of the vehicle.
  • a U-shaped fork includes an opening delimited by two arms which, when the ramp is in the ready-to-fix state, point outwards to fix the ramp and thus to secure the ramp against slipping away in the entry area of the vehicle and are thus directed away from a surface of the ramp that can be walked on to accommodate the door panel of the vehicle's access door in the opening between the arms.
  • the opening of the fork ie the distance between its arms delimiting the opening, is further adapted to a predetermined thickness of the door leaf of the entrance door.
  • the ramp has at least one rail arranged in the area of one side of the ramp for guiding the fork at least along a section of the ramp, as a result of which the fork is arranged on the ramp so that it can be displaced along the section thereof.
  • the rail is designed as a C-rail.
  • the rail has a C-shaped profile with an opening directed outwards, for example, away from the ramp.
  • the fork is guided in it, for example by means of a sliding block.
  • the rail can have an end stop on both sides.
  • fixing means for example clamping means, as are already known from the prior art, can be provided.
  • the slot nut inserted in the C-profile can have an internal thread
  • the fixation means can have a rotary handle with an external thread
  • the fork can have a through-opening for the external thread of the rotary handle to pass through.
  • the fork When tightened, the fork is clamped between the sliding block and rotary handle and locked in the rail by the clamping of the sliding block. Only when the fork is locked against displacement along the ramp on this, the ramp is through the change of grip of the door leaf of the vehicle's entrance door on the vehicle.
  • the fact that the fork can be moved has the advantage that the ramp is suitable for vehicles with a level entry area as well as for vehicles with steps in the entry area.
  • the ramp can be placed on a level floor of the vehicle without a vertical offset and at the same time secured against slipping on the entrance door, which is horizontally removed from the floor. Nevertheless, the steps in between are bridged with the ramp.
  • the ramp has a fork in the area of both sides.
  • the ramp can have a rail for guiding the respective fork at least along a section of the ramp.
  • the fork is designed to be folded over, in particular foldable, so that it is in a folded over state and in a projection perpendicular to the ramp in the projected area of the ramp.
  • the fork rests on the ramp, in particular on the surface of the ramp that can be walked on, which forms an upper side of the ramp, or on an underside opposite thereto.
  • the fork has at least one joint around which it can be folded. The ramp therefore takes up less space for stowage in the vehicle and has no protruding forks as a source of danger during transport.
  • the opening points the fork away from the ramp. It lies, for example, on a level with the accessible area of the ramp.
  • the fork In the folded state, on the other hand, the fork can lie in a plane parallel to the accessible surface of the ramp, but points in the opposite direction. In this case, the fork can be folded down by 180°.
  • the rail can be designed to be foldable.
  • the rail is arranged on the ramp so that it can be folded down via a joint.
  • the fork is designed to be rotatable about its axis of symmetry. Larger angles of the ramp can thus be compensated. The fork can still be aligned horizontally.
  • the fork is designed to be rotatable and foldable, so that it encompasses the ramp in a twisted and folded-in state.
  • a public transport vehicle in particular a rail vehicle, comprises at least one entrance door, in particular a double-leaf entrance door, in particular a sliding, pivoting or pivoting-sliding door, and a door control for controlling the entrance door, in particular for controlling its opening and closing movement, wherein the door control is designed to close the entry door in a predetermined operating mode, in particular from a fully open position, only up to a predetermined, partially open position and to hold it in the partially open position.
  • the ramp In the case of a double-leaf entrance door, the ramp is placed approximately halfway between the two door leaves.
  • the door leaves are embraced by the forks on both sides of the ramp.
  • a ramp with forks arranged on both sides can also be used with a single-leaf entrance door. Then the one facing the door leaf grabs Fork only around a door leaf. The fork on the other side then grips around a post of a door frame, for example. It can be designed accordingly for gripping around the post, in particular the opening of the fork, ie the distance between its arms delimiting the opening, is adapted to a predetermined thickness of the post of the door frame of the entrance door.
  • the ramp can already be fixed to the vehicle with a laterally aligned fork that is arranged on or even on only one side of the ramp.
  • the door control can have a manually operable control unit for selection of the operating mode by vehicle personnel.
  • the manually operated control unit can be arranged separately from the door control in the vehicle and is freely accessible to vehicle personnel. This is then a locally separate device, e.g. a switch, which is connected to the door control in a suitable manner, in particular electrically.
  • the control unit is suitably designed for manual selection of the operating mode by vehicle personnel.
  • the control unit is arranged in particular in the area of the entrance door and thus allows the vehicle personnel, who also places the ramp in the entrance area and on the platform, to select the operating mode of the entrance door manually.
  • the access door In normal operation, the access door would automatically fully close again at the fully open position. If an object were detected in the door opening that blocks the closing movement, the entrance door would first open again automatically to prevent the object from being trapped.
  • the entrance door is only partially closed to a specified extent and held in position without further opening and closing movement.
  • the door control can be designed to start and end a closing movement of the entrance door by manual actuation of the control unit.
  • the control unit to be operated manually is suitably set up accordingly.
  • it is designed as a lock.
  • the vehicle personnel can manually control the closing movement of the entrance door using a key.
  • the entrance door is slowly closed by hand.
  • the door control is further developed to end a closing movement of the entrance door in the specified operating mode if a force counteracting the closing movement exceeds a specified level while the closing movement is being carried out.
  • the vehicle crew aligns the ramp and manually selects the default mode of operation of the access door.
  • the access door then closes automatically, but does not open upon sensing a force opposing the closing movement exceeding the predetermined level caused by the ramp obstruction, but instead automatically stops the closing movement and remains in the partially closed position.
  • the pinch protection is changed in the default operating mode.
  • Hall sensors can be provided in a drive motor for the opening and closing movement, or the motor current of the drive motor is monitored.
  • the predefined operating mode is recognized by the door control when the force counteracting the closing movement exceeds the predefined level the access door is in the partially open position, in particular within a predetermined interval.
  • the door control is suitably designed to determine an operating mode as a function of a position of the entrance door and as a function of a force counteracting the closing movement.
  • the closing movement is stopped.
  • the entrance door is not automatically opened again, but rather is held in the partially closed position without any further opening and closing movement.
  • the entrance door is of course opened when the vehicle stops.
  • the fork When the fork is folded in, it is unfolded beforehand.
  • this is correspondingly shifted to a position when the ramp is aligned in order to be flush with the complementary door leaf to be aligned with the entrance door.
  • the fork is then locked and thus secured against further displacement in the rail.
  • the fork is displaced along a rail arranged in the region of one side of the ramp for guiding the fork at least along a section of the ramp and is then locked, for example clamped, on it.
  • the at least one door leaf, which is only partially closed, is surrounded by the fork of the ramp, as a result of which the ramp is fixed to the vehicle.
  • a predetermined operating mode of the entrance door is selected manually and/or the closing movement of the door leaf is performed during the execution of method step c. controlled manually by operating a control unit of a door controller. For example, there is a manual switchover from automatic to manual execution of the closing movement.
  • the ramp and the vehicle are each designed to be suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention. They include the means already mentioned for carrying out the respective method steps.
  • the figure shows a ramp 1 according to the invention in a three-dimensional representation. It comprises an accessible surface 4 on its upper side, two laterally arranged rails 3, and laterally aligned forks 2 guided in the rails 3 on each side of the ramp 1.
  • the forks 2 each have two arms 5 which delimit an opening 6 .
  • the openings 6 are designed to accommodate door panels of an entry door of a vehicle.
  • the arms 5 embrace them accordingly.
  • the forks have fixing means 7, here in the form of levers, in order to secure them against further displacement in the respective rail. They can be fixed quickly and easily and removed again with a flick of the wrist.
  • the ramp 1 is illustrated in a ready-to-fix condition with the forks 2 unfolded and aligned.
  • the forks 2 can be folded over, so that when they are folded over, they face each other and rest on the surface 4 of the ramp 1 that can be walked on.
  • they each have a hinge joint 8 .
  • the rails 3 have a C-profile in cross-section, the opening of the C-profile being directed upwards. They run parallel to the accessible area 4 of the ramp. But they can also be aligned to the side.
  • the figure also shows that the rails 3 have end stops 9 which limit the rails 3 and thus the ability of the forks 2 to slide in the rails 3 .
