Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device and a rail vehicle with a protective device.
  • ECS European Train Control System
  • the publication EP 3 462 535 A1 describes a protective element for an antenna that is attached to an underbody of a rail vehicle.
  • the protective element is frame-shaped and has a front wall and a rear wall, which protect the antenna, for example, from flying gravel.
  • a frame-shaped lower wall surrounding an opening is also provided.
  • the antenna is held on the underframe of the rail vehicle by the protective element.
  • the protective element is made, for example, from a glass fiber reinforced polyester. The disadvantage here is that if a crack occurs, the progression of the crack cannot be stopped.
  • the publication CN 208001001 U discloses an antenna protection housing that surrounds the antenna in a trough shape.
  • the antenna protection housing is made of fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • the publication CN 209766639 U discloses an antenna unit for use on high-speed rail vehicles that can be exposed to adverse environmental conditions. This is what an antenna is for arranged between two shells and the remaining cavities filled with a polyester foam.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a protective device and a rail vehicle with a protective device with which the progression of cracks within the protective device can be stopped.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the intermediate layer with the honeycombs stops crack progression.
  • the first cover layer and the second cover layer stabilize the intermediate layer. Additive manufacturing enables the protective device to be designed in one piece.
  • a rib is arranged on the second cover layer, with four ribs in particular being arranged parallel to one another on the second cover layer.
  • the rib gives the base plate a high level of stability.
  • the sandwich structure may be thinner than when no rib is present. This means that material and costs can be saved with the sandwich structure.
  • a first rib is arranged on a first edge of the base plate and/or a second rib is arranged on a second edge of the base plate. This mechanically reinforces the first edge and the second edge. A damage to the first Edge and/or the second edge would be particularly critical and could lead to the base plate breaking.
  • an intermediate rib is arranged between the first rib and the second rib, which in particular has a second width that is larger than a first width of the first rib and the second rib and/or has the same thickness as the first rib and the second rib .
  • the intermediate rib increases the mechanical security of the base plate between the first rib and the second rib.
  • the geometry of the intermediate rib is therefore variable compared to the geometry of the first rib and the second rib.
  • a third rib can be arranged on a third edge of the base plate and / or a fourth rib on a fourth edge of the base plate, wherein the third rib and / or the fourth rib is arranged perpendicular to the first rib and the second rib.
  • the third edge and/or the fourth edge are also mechanically reinforced.
  • first rib, the second rib, the third rib and the fourth rib can have the same second thickness and/or the same first width. This achieves uniform stability of the base plate and simplifies the production of the protective device.
  • the base plate can have elongated holes which are arranged between the first rib and the intermediate rib and/or between the second rib and the intermediate rib, the elongated holes being arranged in particular in a row and parallel to the intermediate rib.
  • the elongated holes enable drainage and pressure equalization.
  • the intermediate layer follows a radius on the fastening strip and/or a radius on a fastening support and extends at least partially into the fastening strip and/or into the fastening support. This means that crack progression can also be stopped in the fastening strip and/or a fastening support.
  • the honeycombs are preferably polygonal, in particular at least square. Square honeycombs can be produced quickly and are therefore inexpensive. Polygonal honeycombs are particularly stable and stop the progression of cracks particularly well.
  • the honeycombs can be hexagonal, for example.
  • the protective device is formed from a thermoplastic material, i.e. both the first cover layer and the second cover layer as well as the intermediate layer are formed from the same thermoplastic material.
  • the thermoplastic material is a high-performance material and is particularly suitable for the protective device.
  • the first cover layer and the second cover layer are each 2 to 3 mm thick, including a predetermined tolerance range, and/or the intermediate layer is 4 to 5 mm thick, including a predetermined tolerance range.
  • the intermediate layer with the honeycomb structure is therefore thicker than the first cover layer and the second cover layer.
  • the honeycomb structure also contributes to the stability of the base plate.
  • first cover layer and the second cover layer can each comprise at least three sub-layers, in particular five sub-layers, and/or the intermediate layer can comprise at least five sub-layers, in particular thirteen sub-layers. With these numbers of partial layers, the specified thicknesses can be produced particularly well using additive manufacturing.
  • a partial layer can preferably have a layer thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, including a predetermined tolerance range. This layer thickness enables precise production of the protective device during additive manufacturing.
  • a thickness of the rib and/or the intermediate rib can be 5 to 7 mm, including a predetermined tolerance range
  • a width of the rib and/or the intermediate rib may be 10 to 50 mm, including a predetermined tolerance range.
  • a rib with this width is particularly suitable for stabilizing the base plate.
  • the geometry of the rib and/or the intermediate rib is also variable.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 show a protective device 10, which includes a base plate 30, a fastening strip 20, a first fastening support 21 and a second fastening support 22.
  • the protection device 10 is intended to protect an ETCS antenna on a rail vehicle, not shown.
  • the protective device 10 is attached to an underbody, not shown, of the rail vehicle by means of the fastening strip 20, the first fastening support 21 and the second fastening support 22.
  • the base plate 30 has a first rib 51 which is arranged on a first edge 41.
  • the base plate 30 has a second rib 52 which is arranged on a second edge 42.
  • a third rib 53 is arranged on a third edge 43 of the base plate, and a fourth rib 54 is arranged on a fourth edge 44.
  • a first intermediate rib 61 and a second intermediate rib 62 are arranged between the first rib 51 and the second rib 52.
  • the first rib 51, the first intermediate rib 61, the second intermediate rib 62 and the second rib 52 are aligned parallel to each other.
  • the third rib 53 and the fourth rib 54 are aligned perpendicular to the first rib 51, the first intermediate rib 61, the second intermediate rib 62 and the second rib 52.
  • the first intermediate rib 61 and the second intermediate rib 62 are wider than the first rib 51 and the second rib 52 (cf. Fig. 3 ).
  • the third rib 53 and the fourth rib 54 are the same width as the first rib 51 and the second rib 52.
  • Elongated holes 70 are arranged between the first rib 51 and the first intermediate rib 61. Further elongated holes 70 are arranged between the first intermediate rib 61 and the second intermediate rib 62. In addition, elongated holes 70 are also arranged between the second intermediate rib 62 and the second rib 52.
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the base plate 30 of the protective device 10 along the line AA in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the base plate 30 has the first edge 41 and the second edge 42.
  • the base plate 30 includes a first cover layer 31, a second cover layer 32 and an intermediate layer 33, which together represent a sandwich structure.
  • the intermediate layer 33 has a large number of honeycombs 34.
  • individual honeycombs 34 are provided with reference numbers only as an example.
  • the honeycombs 34 have a square structure.
  • the honeycombs 34 can also be pentagonal or hexagonal, for example.
  • the honeycombs 34 are hollow, that is, they are free of filler. Only air is trapped inside the honeycombs 34.
  • the intermediate layer 33 ends in front of the edge 41 and in front of the edge 42.
  • the intermediate layer 33 ends in particular in the area of the first rib 51 and in the area of the second rib 52.
  • the intermediate layer 33 is preferably arranged centrally within the base plate 30.
  • the first cover layer 31 and the second cover layer 32 are each thinner than the intermediate layer 33, with the first cover layer 31 and the second cover layer 32 being the same thickness.
  • the first cover layer 31, the second cover layer 32 and the intermediate layer 33 together have a first thickness D1.
  • the first rib 51, the second rib 52, the first intermediate rib 61 and the second intermediate rib 62 each have an equal second thickness D2, which is smaller than the first thickness D1 of the first cover layer 31, the second cover layer 32 and the intermediate layer 33 combined .
  • the first rib 51, the second rib 52, the first intermediate rib 61 and the second intermediate rib 62 are each arranged on the second cover layer 32 and are made in one piece with the second cover layer 32, the intermediate layer 33 and the first cover layer 31.
  • the first rib 51 and the second rib 52 have the same width B1.
  • the first intermediate rib 61 and the second intermediate rib 62 have an equal width B2, which is larger than the first width B1.
  • the sandwich structure with the first cover layer 31, the second cover layer 32 and the intermediate layer 33 each follows a first radius R1 of the fastening strip 20, a second radius R2 of the first fastening support 21 and a third radius R3 of the second fastening support 22.
  • the first radius R1 , the second radius R2 and the third radius R3 are in particular in the Fig. 2 shown.
  • a crack can occur in the protective device, for example due to flying gravel or ice formation.
  • the progression of cracks can be stopped using the intermediate layer.
  • the base plate is mechanically reinforced by means of the first rib 51, the second rib 52, the first intermediate rib 61, the second intermediate rib 62, the third rib 53 and/or the fourth rib 54.
