- aerodynamic noise is generated by the air on the roof of the railway vehicle running at high speed being disturbed, and the aerodynamic noise increases abruptly as the vehicle speed increases, so that the air conditioner 5 and the current collector 6 become large noise sources especially when the train runs at high speed.

- the outer plate 2a1, the inner plate 2a2, and the connection plate 2a3, which form a double skin structure vibrate integrally. Therefore, at low frequencies, the double skin structure can be regarded as a single plate, and the laminated structure of the double skin structure, the sound absorbing material 14, and the interior panel 7 can be considered as a double wall structure (see FIG. 7 ).
- FIG. 7 shows an equivalent rigid plate 2a' to replace the double skin structure.
- the transmission loss as an index of the sound insulation performance is improved as compared with the mass law.
- the transmission loss falls below the mass law near the low frequency resonance frequency frL on the contrary, due to the resonance phenomenon in which the equivalent rigid plate 2a' and the interior panel 7 serve as mass and the air layer (equivalent to the space 15) being a medium of the sound absorbing material 14 serves as a spring.
- the high frequency resonance frequency frH when the thickness of the air layer is increased, the high frequency resonance frequency frH also shifts to the low frequency side.
- the high frequency resonance frequency frH exists in a high frequency range of not less than 1 kHz, and in such a high frequency range, noise is sufficiently attenuated by the sound absorbing performance due to the sound absorbing material 14, the seat 11 in the vehicle interior space, and the like, so that the shift of the high frequency resonance frequency frH does not normally come to a problem.

- a vehicle gauge a boundary line referred to as a vehicle gauge
- the present inventors performed an element test and analysis simulating the laminated structure of the double skin structure, the sound absorbing material 14, and the interior panel 7, and studied the conditions under which the effect of improving the transmission loss is significantly exhibited by drilling a hole in the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure.
- the thickness dimension t of the space 15 is approximately three times or less with respect to the structure thickness L (also simply referred to as the thickness) of the double skin structure (t ⁇ 3L) exhibits a significant effect. It should be noted that it is more preferable that t ⁇ 2L.
- the railway vehicle of the present embodiment is provided with the air conditioner 5 or the current collector 6 on the roof, and therefore has a large dimensional constraint in the ceiling height direction, so that there is an actual situation that the thickness of the sound absorbing material 14 cannot be sufficiently secured.
- the sound absorbing material 14 it is particularly effective to provide a hole 16.
- making holes in the inner plate 2a2 or 2b2 of the roof structure 2a or 2b increases the transmission loss and improves the sound insulation performance, so that the transmission of aerodynamic noise generated by the air conditioner 5 or the current collector 6 on the roof into the vehicle interior is reduced.

- the vehicle interior side cavity 17 surrounded by the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3 of the double skin structure communicates with the space 15 through the holes 16, and the compressional wave of the sound wave transmitted through a double skin structure DS can also enter the vehicle interior side cavity 17.
- providing the holes 16 increases the thickness t of the space 15 by the structure thickness L of the double skin structure DS, that is, the effect such that the thickness increases to (t + L) is obtained.
- Communicating the space 15 with the vehicle interior side cavity 17 inside the double skin structure DS causes the mechanism of improving sound insulation performance in the present embodiment to exert the same effect as when the thickness of the space 15 is increased. Therefore, drilling only a minimum necessary number of holes with as large diameter as possible is more excellent in sound insulation performance than drilling a large number of holes with small diameter, and is also preferable from the viewpoint of preventing an increase in the number of manufacturing steps due to hole drilling.
- the inner diameter d of the hole 16 be approximately in a range where (P/5) ⁇ d ⁇ (4P/5) with respect to the interval of the connection portions between the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3 of the double skin structure DS (pitch P in the Y direction).
- each hole 16 arranged in a row at equal pitch along the vehicle interior side cavity 17 (in the X direction) the position of each hole 16 arranged in a row at equal pitch adjacent thereto is structured to shift in the X direction by a half pitch to form a staggered arrangement (see FIG. 9 ).

- the double skin structure such as the roof structure 2a (2b) or the side structure 3 of the second embodiment includes a protrusion 18 that increases the thickness by protruding toward the vehicle interior side opposite to the vehicle interior side cavity 17 and is formed continuously along the X direction for each region of the inner plate 2b2 partitioned by the inner plate 2b2 and a pair of connection plates 2b3.
- the protrusion 18 is provided at the center in the Y direction between the connection portions between the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3, and continuously extends along the X direction, the protrusion 18 can be formed by extrusion molding integrally with the double skin structure.
- the inner plate 2b2 has a plurality of holes 16 provided discretely at an equal pitch on the protrusion 18 along the extrusion direction (X direction) of the protrusion 18. Since the inner diameter d of the hole 16 is larger than the width dimension W of the protrusion 18 in the Y direction, a part of the hole 16 protrudes from the protrusion 18. It is preferable that the central axis of each hole 16 intersects the center line of the projection 18.
- the sound absorbing material 14 is applied with an adhesive (or pasted with a double-sided tape or the like) on one surface thereof and bonded to the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure, and then the interior panel 7 is attached to the other surface.

Since no adhesive or the like is applied to the gap 19 and a part of the hole 16 protruding from the protrusion 18 is not blocked, the compressional wave of the sound wave propagated into the space 15 can enter the vehicle interior side cavity 17 through the gap 19 and a part of the hole 16 along the sound wave entry path 21. Thus, the effect of improving the sound insulation performance can be obtained.
- a force is applied in a direction in which the structure of the railway vehicle expands and contracts in a cross section due to an airtight load generated by internal and external pressure difference of the vehicle. Therefore, when an airtight load acts on the railway vehicle structure 1a (1b), as indicated by arrow 22, a tensile/compressive load acts in a direction intersecting the X direction on the double skin structure DS such as the roof structure 2a (2b) and the side structure 3 constituting the railway vehicle structure 1a (1b).
- the provision of the protrusion 18 has an effect that the hole 16 can be easily positioned at the time of construction.
- the protrusion 18 since it is difficult to understand the position of the connection plate 2b3 and the vehicle interior side cavity 17 only by viewing from the inner plate 2b2 side, it is difficult to machine the hole 16 without interfering with the connection plate 2b3 and the vehicle interior side cavity 17.
- the provision of the protrusion 18 facilitates the positioning of the hole 16 by using the protrusion 18 as a marker, thereby improving the workability of drilling.
- providing the protrusion 18 in the double skin structure makes it possible to provide a railway vehicle which can avoid a decrease in sound insulation performance due to the hole 16 being closed when the sound absorbing material 14 is bonded to the inner plate 2b2 and which can improve the fatigue durability and workability of the double skin structure.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a rail vehicle.
- In rail vehicles, particularly high-speed railway vehicles, it is indispensable to reduce noise in a passenger room, which increases with the speedup, in order to secure comfortable movement of passengers. For this reason, various vehicle interior noise reduction techniques have been conventionally developed. On the other hand, in recent years, a structure referred to as a double skin structure has been often adopted as a lightweight, high-strength, and highly manufacturable vehicle body structure.
- This double skin structure has a hollow truss structure including a pair of opposing outer and inner plates and a connection plate for connecting these plates, and has an advantage of being lightweight and having high bending rigidity. Further, since the double-skin structure can be formed by using an extruded shape material having the same cross-sectional structure in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the double skin structure has an advantage of being excellent also in manufacturability.
- As a technique for improving sound insulation performance using the double skin structure, for example, PTL 1 is disclosed. This known example describes a method in which forming a hole portion in one or both of the inner plate and the connection plate of the double skin structure and further arranging a sound absorbing material between the inner plate on the in-vehicle side and the interior panel of the railway vehicle improves sound insulation performance.
- PTL 1:
JP 2017-105228 A - In PTL 1 described above, the position, condition, and the like of the drilled region of the double skin structure are not clearly shown. For example, if the thickness of the sound absorbing material is sufficient, it can be said that the effect of providing the hole portion by increasing the number of machining steps is small. In addition, even if a hole portion is provided in the double skin structure, further improvement is also expected to achieve both strength and securing of sound insulation performance at a high level.
- For example, in order to prevent a decrease in strength caused by providing a hole portion in the inner plate of the double skin structure for securing sound insulation performance, it is one idea to give a margin to the plate thickness, but relying on that alone will cause a significant increase in costs. On the other hand, increasing the number of hole portions instead of reducing the cross-sectional area of the hole portions allows the same sound insulation performance to be secured while a decrease in strength is prevented, but this leads to an increase in the number of machining steps for drilling. Furthermore, there is also a problem that it is difficult to provide a hole portion depending on the load condition and the structure and region of the double skin structure.
- In addition, there is also a problem related to the sound absorbing material disposed on the inner surface of the double skin structure. Conventionally, in some cases, a method of bonding a sound absorbing material to an inner plate of a double skin structure using a double-sided tape previously pasted on one surface of the sound absorbing material is adopted.
- Here, even when a double-sided tape without air permeability is used, in order to achieve a sufficient sound insulation performance improvement effect, it is preferable to avoid hole portions drilled in the inner plate and to provide the double-sided tape. However, since the position at which the double-sided tape is provided is limited, there is a possibility that time and effort of the work may increase.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking up a railway vehicle as a typical example of a rail vehicle. The present invention is applicable not only to high-speed rail vehicles but also to all rail vehicles. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to a railway vehicle as a representative of a rail vehicle.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view intersecting the longitudinal direction of a railway vehicle mounting an air conditioner on a roof, andFIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view intersecting the longitudinal direction of a railway vehicle mounting a current collector on a roof. Therailway vehicle structure 1a (1b) is generally a hexahedron including a floor structure (underframe) 4 that forms the floor surface,side structures 3 erected at both end portions in the Y direction of thefloor structure 4, aroof structure 2a (2b) placed on the upper end portion of theside structure 3, and end structures (not shown) provided at both end portions of thefloor structure 4 in the X direction. - With reference to
FIGS. 3 and4 , thefloor structure 4, theside structure 3, and theroof structure FIG. 10 , these double skin structures includes a vehicleexterior side cavity 20 being a space surrounded by the vehicle exterior side face plate 2b1 and the two adjacent connection plates 2b3, and a vehicleinterior side cavity 17 being a space surrounded (partitioned) by the vehicle interior side face plate 2b2 and the two adjacent connection plates 2b3. - Here, a structure made of a hollow extruded shape material including two opposing face plates and a connection plate connecting these face plates is referred to as a double skin structure. The double skin structure has characteristics of being lightweight, high-strength, and highly manufacturable.
- The double skin structure is made of an aluminum alloy and made of a hollow extruded shape material extruded in the X direction. These shape materials are arranged in the Y direction, and then the butted portions in the Y direction are joined along the X direction to form the
floor structure 4, theside structure 3, and theroof structure 2a (2b), so that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost even though having a complicated configuration. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , anair conditioner 5 is placed on the central portion side in the X direction of therailway vehicle structure 1a, and as shown inFIG. 2 , a current collector (pantograph) 6 is placed on the low roof portion on the end portion side in the X direction of therailway vehicle structure 1b. On the vehicle interior side of therailway vehicle structure 1a (1b), an interior panel (interior material) 7, an air-conditioning duct 8, afloor plate 10, aseat 11, aload shelf 12, and the like are provided. -
FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of a roof structure on which an air conditioner is placed (seeFIG. 1 ), andFIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view of a roof structure on which a current collector is placed (seeFIG. 2 ). - The
roof structure 2a (seeFIG. 3 ) is a double skin structure including an outer plate 2a1, an inner plate 2a2, and a connection plate 2a3 connecting these plates. In this example, the inner plate 2a2 of the double skin structure has acurtain rail structure 13 extruded integrally with the inner plate 2a2 in advance, and theinterior panel 7, the air-conditioning duct 8, and the like are fixed to thecurtain rail structure 13. The curtain rail structure refers to a structure having a substantially C-shaped cross section in the longitudinal direction. An embodiment including thecurtain rail structure 13 will be described below with reference toFIGS. 15 and16 . - In addition, a
sound absorbing material 14 also having heat insulation or the like is provided between the inner plate 2a2 of the double skin structure and thetop plate 8a of theinterior panel 7 and theair conditioning duct 8. - The
sound absorbing material 14 uses, for example, a foamed material, a fiber based sound absorbing material, or the like, and is pasted on the inner plate 2a2 of the double skin structure with an adhesive or a double-sided tape. Anopening 8c for blowing the air-conditioned air into the vehicle interior is provided on aside surface 8b of the air-conditioning duct 8. In addition, inFIG. 4 being an enlarged view of the ceiling portion in a cross section of the low roof portion (seeFIG. 2 ), thesound absorbing material 14 is provided on the inner plate 2b2 side of theroof structure 2b, and thesound absorbing material 14 is covered with theinterior panel 7. - Generally, in the
air conditioner 5 and thecurrent collector 6 on the roof, aerodynamic noise is generated by the air on the roof of the railway vehicle running at high speed being disturbed, and the aerodynamic noise increases abruptly as the vehicle speed increases, so that theair conditioner 5 and thecurrent collector 6 become large noise sources especially when the train runs at high speed. The aerodynamic noise generated on the roof is transmitted through theroof structure sound absorbing material 14, theinterior panel 7, thetop plate 8a of the air-conditioning duct, and the like, and is transmitted to the vehicle interior, thereby being a factor that increases the vehicle interior noise. - Here, the aerodynamic noise has a relatively large low frequency component, and the sound insulation characteristics of the vehicle body and the sound absorption characteristics of the vehicle interior space are generally low in the low frequency range. Therefore, it is common to take measures against noise on the premise that a low frequency range of 1 kHz or less is dominant in vehicle interior noise. In other words, it is particularly important to improve the sound insulation performance in a low frequency range.
- It should be noted that as shown in
FIG. 3 , anopening 8c for blowing the air-conditioned air into the vehicle interior is provided on aside surface 8b of the air-conditioning duct 8. However, since the noise transmitted through thetop plate 8a is transmitted to the vehicle interior through theopening 8c, first, it is desirable to reduce the noise transmitted through thetop plate 8a. - In such a situation, in order to improve the sound insulation performance in the low frequency range, it is known to be effective to widen the space between the inner plate 2a2 or 2b2 of the double skin structure and the
interior panel 7 or thetop plate 8a, or to increase the weight of these interior panels. -
FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating a primary vibration mode of a roof structure having a double skin structure, andFIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating a secondary vibration mode of a roof structure having a double skin structure.FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a model of a double wall structure including an equivalent rigid plate corresponding to a double skin structure, a sound absorbing heat insulating material having an air layer, and an interior material, andFIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a change in transmission loss when the thickness of the sound absorbing heat insulating material having an air layer is changed. - Since the double skin structure is generally lightweight and highly rigid, the natural frequency of the bending mode of the plate exists at a relatively high frequency, and at low frequencies not more than 1 kHz, the primary vibration mode with a long wavelength (see
FIG. 5 ) or the secondary vibration mode (seeFIG. 6 ) is dominant. - As described above, in the low-order vibration modes, the outer plate 2a1, the inner plate 2a2, and the connection plate 2a3, which form a double skin structure, vibrate integrally. Therefore, at low frequencies, the double skin structure can be regarded as a single plate, and the laminated structure of the double skin structure, the
sound absorbing material 14, and theinterior panel 7 can be considered as a double wall structure (seeFIG. 7 ). -
FIG. 7 shows an equivalentrigid plate 2a' to replace the double skin structure. In such a double wall structure, as shown inFIG. 8 , in a broad high frequency range including the high frequency resonance frequency frH, the transmission loss as an index of the sound insulation performance is improved as compared with the mass law. However, in the low frequency range, it is known that the transmission loss falls below the mass law near the low frequency resonance frequency frL on the contrary, due to the resonance phenomenon in which the equivalentrigid plate 2a' and theinterior panel 7 serve as mass and the air layer (equivalent to the space 15) being a medium of thesound absorbing material 14 serves as a spring. - Here, when the thickness of the air layer is large (thick solid line in
FIG. 8 ), since the low frequency resonance frequency frL shifts to the lower frequency side as compared with the case where the thickness of the air layer is small (dotted line inFIG. 8 ), transmission loss is improved on the higher frequency side with respect to the low frequency resonance frequency frL. - It should be noted that when the thickness of the air layer is increased, the high frequency resonance frequency frH also shifts to the low frequency side. However, in a configuration of a normal railway vehicle, the high frequency resonance frequency frH exists in a high frequency range of not less than 1 kHz, and in such a high frequency range, noise is sufficiently attenuated by the sound absorbing performance due to the
sound absorbing material 14, theseat 11 in the vehicle interior space, and the like, so that the shift of the high frequency resonance frequency frH does not normally come to a problem. - Thus, in order to improve the sound insulation performance of the vehicle, it is effective to widen the
space 15 between theroof structure 2a (2b) or side structure 3 (floor structure 4) being double skin structures and theinterior panel 7 ortop plate 8a and to increase the thickness of thesound absorbing material 14 inserted into thespace 15. - However, the external dimensions of the vehicle body are restricted by a boundary line referred to as a vehicle gauge, and it is difficult to increase the external shape of the vehicle body beyond that. On the other hand, in order to widen the
space 15, it is one idea to shift theinterior panel 7 and thetop plate 8a to the vehicle interior side. - However, according to this idea, since the vehicle interior space is reduced, it is difficult to secure the ceiling height and the load shelf space required to maintain passenger comfort. In addition, when the space between the
side structure 3 and theinterior panel 7 is widened, it is difficult to secure a necessary seat width and a necessary passage width. - Thus, the present inventors performed an element test and analysis simulating the laminated structure of the double skin structure, the
sound absorbing material 14, and theinterior panel 7, and studied the conditions under which the effect of improving the transmission loss is significantly exhibited by drilling a hole in the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure. - According to the study results, in
FIG. 7 , it has been found that providing a hole in a region where an interval between the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure and theinterior panel 7, that is, the thickness dimension t of thespace 15 is approximately three times or less with respect to the structure thickness L (also simply referred to as the thickness) of the double skin structure (t ≤ 3L) exhibits a significant effect. It should be noted that it is more preferable that t ≤ 2L. - As shown in
FIGS. 3 and4 , the railway vehicle of the present embodiment is provided with theair conditioner 5 or thecurrent collector 6 on the roof, and therefore has a large dimensional constraint in the ceiling height direction, so that there is an actual situation that the thickness of thesound absorbing material 14 cannot be sufficiently secured. Thus, in a situation where thesound absorbing material 14 has to be thin, it is particularly effective to provide ahole 16. - Therefore, in the railway vehicle of the present embodiment, making holes in the inner plate 2a2 or 2b2 of the
roof structure air conditioner 5 or thecurrent collector 6 on the roof into the vehicle interior is reduced. -
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a roof structure provided with holes in a face plate on the vehicle interior side, andFIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a sound absorbing material and an interior panel are arranged on the vehicle interior side of a roof structure provided with holes in a face plate on the vehicle interior side. - The structure thickness L of the double skin structure of a general railway vehicle is often designed to be about L = 30 mm to 70 mm. On the other hand, the interval between the
roof structure 2b of the vehicle on which theair conditioner 5 or thecurrent collector 6 is mounted and theinterior panel 7, that is, the thickness t of the sound absorbing material can be often secured only with a thickness of approximately 70 mm or less although differing depending on the type and region of the vehicle. - Thus, a plurality of
holes 16 penetrating the inner plate 2b2 along the X direction are drilled at positions between the connection portions between the face plate (inner plate) 2b2 on the vehicle interior side and the connection plates 2b3 in the double skin structure. As a result, the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 surrounded by the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3 of the double skin structure communicates with thespace 15 through theholes 16, and the compressional wave of the sound wave transmitted through a double skin structure DS can also enter the vehicleinterior side cavity 17. - In other words, providing the
holes 16 increases the thickness t of thespace 15 by the structure thickness L of the double skin structure DS, that is, the effect such that the thickness increases to (t + L) is obtained. - In particular, in a region where the thickness t of the
space 15 cannot be sufficiently secured, and t ≤ 3L (preferably t ≤ 2L) is required, since the effect that the thickness t of thespace 15 is increased to 1.3 times or more (preferably 1.5 times or more) can be obtained, a significant effect of improving sound insulation performance is obtained. In other words, even if the sound absorbing material becomes thinner in the region of the double skin structure where t ≤ 3L (preferably t ≤ 2L), a sufficient effect of improving sound insulation performance can be obtained by providing theholes 16. - Communicating the
space 15 with the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 inside the double skin structure DS causes the mechanism of improving sound insulation performance in the present embodiment to exert the same effect as when the thickness of thespace 15 is increased. Therefore, drilling only a minimum necessary number of holes with as large diameter as possible is more excellent in sound insulation performance than drilling a large number of holes with small diameter, and is also preferable from the viewpoint of preventing an increase in the number of manufacturing steps due to hole drilling. - However, in order to prevent the decrease in strength of the double skin structure DS due to drilling, it is preferable that the inner diameter d of the
hole 16 be approximately in a range where (P/5) ≤ d ≤ (4P/5) with respect to the interval of the connection portions between the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3 of the double skin structure DS (pitch P in the Y direction). - In addition, in order to minimize a decrease in strength due to drilling in the double skin structure, it is preferable to arrange the
holes 16 so that the distance between theholes 16 is as large as possible. Therefore, in the present first embodiment, with respect to eachhole 16 arranged in a row at equal pitch along the vehicle interior side cavity 17 (in the X direction), the position of eachhole 16 arranged in a row at equal pitch adjacent thereto is structured to shift in the X direction by a half pitch to form a staggered arrangement (seeFIG. 9 ). - With the above-described configuration, drilling the
holes 16 in the region of the double skin structure where the thickness of thespace 15 cannot be secured to be large allows the structure thickness L of the double skin structure to be also used as a part of the thickness of thespace 15. Thus, it is possible to provide a railway vehicle capable of preventing a decrease in strength and an increase in the number of machining steps due to drilling holes in the inner plate of the double skin structure, the railway vehicle having excellent sound insulation effect. - The second embodiment has a configuration where the
hole 16 in the face plate (inner plate) 2b2 on the vehicle interior side is prevented from being blocked by double-sided tape or the like when thesound absorbing material 14 is fixed to the inner plate and is secured to communicate between the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 and thespace 15, so that an excellent sound insulation effect can be obtained. -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a roof structure provided with a hole in a region including a plate thickness portion of a face plate on the vehicle interior side, andFIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a sound absorbing material and an interior panel are arranged on the vehicle interior side of a roof structure provided with a hole in a region including a plate thickness portion of a face plate on the vehicle interior side. - The double skin structure such as the
roof structure 2a (2b) or theside structure 3 of the second embodiment includes aprotrusion 18 that increases the thickness by protruding toward the vehicle interior side opposite to the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 and is formed continuously along the X direction for each region of the inner plate 2b2 partitioned by the inner plate 2b2 and a pair of connection plates 2b3. - Since the
protrusion 18 is provided at the center in the Y direction between the connection portions between the inner plate 2b2 and the connection plates 2b3, and continuously extends along the X direction, theprotrusion 18 can be formed by extrusion molding integrally with the double skin structure. - Furthermore, the inner plate 2b2 has a plurality of
holes 16 provided discretely at an equal pitch on theprotrusion 18 along the extrusion direction (X direction) of theprotrusion 18. Since the inner diameter d of thehole 16 is larger than the width dimension W of theprotrusion 18 in the Y direction, a part of thehole 16 protrudes from theprotrusion 18. It is preferable that the central axis of eachhole 16 intersects the center line of theprojection 18. - The
sound absorbing material 14 is applied with an adhesive (or pasted with a double-sided tape or the like) on one surface thereof and bonded to the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure, and then theinterior panel 7 is attached to the other surface. - Assuming that the
sound absorbing material 14 is bonded or pasted to the inner plate 2b2 having noprotrusion 18, there are possibilities that thehole 16 is closed by an adhesive weak in air permeability, double-sided tape, or the like, the effect of using the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 is not sufficiently exhibited, and the sound insulation performance cannot be improved. - On the other hand, in the present embodiment, providing the inner plate 2b2 with the
protrusion 18 forms agap 19 so as to spread from the surface on the vehicle interior side of the inner plate 2b2 to the end potion of thevertical surface 18a in the height direction of theprotrusion 18. Since no adhesive or the like is applied to thegap 19 and a part of thehole 16 protruding from theprotrusion 18 is not blocked, the compressional wave of the sound wave propagated into thespace 15 can enter the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 through thegap 19 and a part of thehole 16 along the soundwave entry path 21. Thus, the effect of improving the sound insulation performance can be obtained. - In a tunnel or the like, a force is applied in a direction in which the structure of the railway vehicle expands and contracts in a cross section due to an airtight load generated by internal and external pressure difference of the vehicle. Therefore, when an airtight load acts on the
railway vehicle structure 1a (1b), as indicated byarrow 22, a tensile/compressive load acts in a direction intersecting the X direction on the double skin structure DS such as theroof structure 2a (2b) and theside structure 3 constituting therailway vehicle structure 1a (1b). - For this reason, it is considered that a stress is most concentrated particularly on the end portion in the vehicle longitudinal direction (direction vertical to the paper surface in the sectional view) among the peripheral portions of the
hole 16 of the inner plate 2b2 of the double skin structure. However, according to the configuration of the second embodiment, since theprotrusion 18 having a large plate thickness is provided near thehole 16, even when thehole 16 is provided, the fatigue durability of the double skin structure can be improved. - Furthermore, the provision of the
protrusion 18 has an effect that thehole 16 can be easily positioned at the time of construction. In the double skin structure where theprotrusion 18 is not provided, since it is difficult to understand the position of the connection plate 2b3 and the vehicleinterior side cavity 17 only by viewing from the inner plate 2b2 side, it is difficult to machine thehole 16 without interfering with the connection plate 2b3 and the vehicleinterior side cavity 17. However, the provision of theprotrusion 18 facilitates the positioning of thehole 16 by using theprotrusion 18 as a marker, thereby improving the workability of drilling. - According to the above configuration, providing the
protrusion 18 in the double skin structure makes it possible to provide a railway vehicle which can avoid a decrease in sound insulation performance due to thehole 16 being closed when thesound absorbing material 14 is bonded to the inner plate 2b2 and which can improve the fatigue durability and workability of the double skin structure. -
FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a roof structure provided with a hole at a joint portion between a face plate on the vehicle interior side and a connection plate for connecting the face plates inside and outside the vehicle, andFIG. 14 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a roof structure including a hole at a joint portion between a face plate on the vehicle interior side and a connection plate for connecting the face plates inside and outside the vehicle. - The configuration of the third embodiment is provided with a
hole 16 at a connection portion between the inner plate 2b2 of a double skin structure and the connection plate 2b3 connected to the inner plate 2b2. Thehole 16 is provided near theintersection point 23 of the virtual center extension line (surface) of one connection plate 2b3 and the virtual center extension line (surface) of the other connection plate 2b3 adjacent to each other, shown by the dotted line inFIG. 14 , and near the inner plate 2b2; and is preferably provided so that the central axis of thehole 16 passes through theintersection point 23. - Since the diameter of the
hole 16 is larger than the connection portion of the connection plates 2b3, onehole 16 causes the space 15 (sound absorbing material 14) to communicate with the two vehicleinterior side cavities 17 and one vehicleexterior side cavity 20 sandwiched between the two vehicle interior side cavities 17. - With this configuration, providing one
hole 16 allows the three cavities (17, 20) to be used as a common space, so that even if the number ofholes 16 is reduced, a sound insulation effect similar to that of the above embodiment can be obtained. Thus, the number of machining steps of thehole 16 can be reduced. - Further, the top portion where a pair of adjacent connection plates 2b3 and the inner plate 2b2 intersect is a region having relatively high strength. Therefore, even when the
holes 16 are provided, a decrease in strength of the double skin structure can be prevented. - With the above configuration, since the
space 15 and the three cavities (17, 20) can be communicated via onehole 16, formingholes 16 at every other connection portion can reduce the number thereof, for example. Thus, it is possible to provide a railway vehicle capable of preventing a decrease in strength and an increase in the number of machining steps due to drilling holes in the inner plate of the double skin structure, the railway vehicle having excellent sound insulation effect. -
FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a roof structure provided with holes only in the face plate near the curtain rail structure of the vehicle interior side face plate having the curtain rail structure, andFIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a sound absorbing material and an interior panel are arranged on the vehicle interior side of a roof structure provided with holes only in the face plate near the curtain rail structure of the vehicle interior side face plate having the curtain rail structure. - The double skin structure integrally includes a
curtain rail structure 13 for fixing theinterior panel 7 and for fixing a bundle of the wiring cables as a part of the extruded hollow shape material. Thecurtain rail structure 13 is provided so as to extend in the X direction near or opposite to a connection portion between the pair of connection plates 2b3 and the inner plate 2b2. In addition to that the connection portion originally has high strength, further including thecurtain rail structure 13 further increases the strength in the vicinity thereof. - In the fourth embodiment, the inner plate 2b2 near the
curtain rail structure 13 is provided withholes 16 discretely at an equal pitch along the X direction. Providing theholes 16 near thecurtain rail structure 13 having high strength allows thecurtain rail structure 13 to perform a function alternative to that of theprotrusion 18 as described in the second embodiment. - Furthermore, attaching a drill or the like to a jig (not shown) which has a predetermined span in the Y direction from the
curtain rail structure 13 and slides along thecurtain rail structure 13 can also perform a drilling operation on the inner plate 2b2. Thus, a plurality ofholes 16 can be highly precisely formed along thecurtain rail structure 13 by a simple operation. - With the above configuration, even when
holes 16 are drilled in the inner plate 2b2, providing thecurtain rail structure 13 in the double skin structure makes it possible to provide a railway vehicle which can secure strength of the double skin structure and reduce the number of machining steps, and which has excellent sound insulation effect. - It should be noted that in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention, the configuration and effects of the present invention have been described by taking a railroad vehicle including an air conditioner or a current collector on a roof as an example. However, the same applies to the
side structure 3 and thefloor structure 4 shown inFIGS. 1 and2 , and the present invention can be applied to the region where restriction of dimensions is large and the thickness of the space between the double skin structure and the interior panel cannot be sufficiently secured based on exactly the same principle as described in the first to fourth embodiments. - In addition, in the embodiments of the present invention, the case where the cross-sectional shape of the double skin structure is a triangular truss structure including the outer plate 2b1 or the inner plate 2b2 and the pair of connection plates 2b3 has been described as an example. However, even when the cross-sectional shape of the double skin structure is, for example, a square structure, the present invention can be applied based on the same principle as described in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention as long as it is a double skin structure including an outer plate, an inner plate, a vertical rib, and a cavity surrounded by the outer plate, the inner plate, and the vertical rib.
- It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments are described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those including all the configurations described. In addition, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. In addition, it is also possible to add, delete, and replace another configuration with respect to a part of the configuration in each of the embodiments.
