Modular construction of double deck railway wagon

The invention relates to a plan for a modular structure of a double deck railway wagon consisting of a plurality of modules of different application and shape, whereby these different modules can be combined in different ways in a respective area.

Modular construction is a well-known building and design principle for the rational manufacture of technical products, especially those required in various forms 10. In the construction of railway wagons, this principle is primarily used in interior design. Modules for the cabin, toilet, air conditioning, wall, ceiling, etc. are known.

European Application Publication 0 360 585 A2 discloses the above-mentioned design and construction principle for a single-deck railway wagon. A load-bearing open wagon is mounted on a load-bearing frame, with outer wall elements and roof elements added on its sides, and front and rear end elements with doors. The interior uses prefabricated cabin, toilet and technology modules consisting of walls, ceilings, furniture and fittings. The floor is a load carrying trolley to which the modules are attached.

. ·. The exterior wall elements consist of separate, removable parts and can, ....: for example, when individual interior modules are to be retrofitted,: removed separately. Further, it is possible to install and remove the interior module «and removable roof elements from the sealed roof openings. The free space between the roofs and roof elements • · · · 25 of the modules is reserved for wiring for electrical and air conditioning systems.

• ·

The presented solution only partially uses modular technology. It uses modules and structural units side by side. Therefore, a relatively large number of components are still needed. This solution corresponds to the removable exterior wall elements: 'down to the manufacturing technology used today, and has only the limited benefits expected from a modular technology used consistently. In addition, the solution described above is intended only for a single-deck railway wagon.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a double deck railway wagon consisting of exterior modules including prefabricated modules, whereby different modules for each purpose are combined in different areas in a corresponding manner, and a limited number of different wagon types can be implemented with a limited number of modules. they can be reused in new combinations.

The advantages of the invention are that the modules can be manufactured rationally and stored in special production lines, that the prefabricated modules can be manufactured in a shorter time to suit the type of wagon needed, and that the type of wagon that is no longer needed can be disassembled and used. reuse, refurbished if necessary.

A further advantage is that the modules are self-supporting and inherently rigid, so that no separate load-bearing structure is required after being joined together.

One embodiment is shown in the drawings, of which:. Figure 1 shows an overview of the entire module system, Figure 2 shows a combination of modules including a view and a Class 1 module - >> Figure 3 shows a combination of modules with two Class 1 modules, • «· Figure 4 shows a module combination consisting of two 1st class modules and. ···.

It forms the upper deck of a double deck railway carriage and is characterized by large windows with narrow partitions. The number 2 denotes a Class 1 module. It is similar in appearance to the Vision Module 1, but has standard windows and 1st class décor. The third top-floor module is numbered 2.

10 class module. Inside the same design as the modules described above, 2nd class furnishings and chairs are installed. The three above-mentioned top-floor modules 1, 2 and 3 extend over the entire wagon up to the through modules. The passage ducts, denoted by numbers 11 and 12, form the blocked ends of the wagons, with passageways, doors and aisles. Passage module-15 in the 11 has a passage high at the upper deck of the double deck train. The passage module 12 is provided with a passage device according to the UlC standard, which can be connected to the passage devices of conventional single deck wagons. The modules mentioned below are intended for the lower deck of the wagon and are referred to as the lower deck modules. The number 10 denotes the stair module,. 20 having a floor at the height of the passage 12 of the passage module and having two. ·; . some stairs lead to the lower floor and others to the upper floor.

: The staircase module marked with number 13 has only stairs leading to the lower deck and is intended to be connected to the • upper deck access opening. The technology module, similar to the staircase modules 10 and 13 in appearance 25, is numbered 4 and includes the equipment and machinery required for trolley operation and air conditioning. The bottom of the staircase modules 10 and 13 and the technology module 4 are raised by the bogie • *. ···. upwards from where they extend obliquely to the floor of the lower ground floor * - «· · .. ·. Downstairs passenger modules with six or four • · 30 windows are Class 1 Module 5 and Class 2 Module 7.

Fig. 7 shows a combination of Fig. 6, however, with a cockpit module 14 inserted at one end.

4 · * 4 · :. i, · The rail passenger carriage shall be capable of absorbing certain traction, compressive and bending forces without damage. The present design 108012 5 solves the strength and stiffness problems of a modular passenger carriage by integrating the upper deck modules 1 (sight), 2 (class 1) and 3 (class 2) in the form of a plain slab, not shown in the drawings. . The cross-section of this base plate forms a shallow rectangle with vertical partitions and the base plate extends over the entire width of the trolley and has a length corresponding to the distance between the through modules 11 or 12. The bottoms of the top-layer modules 1,2 and 3 are provided with non-shown tuna-like fittings for the detachable attachment of the modules to be attached thereto and thus serve as actual supports. The upper layer modules 1, 2 and 3 provided with the described bottom plate thus form the actual backbone of the carriage 10, so that no other reinforcing elements are needed to stabilize the carriage. The strength and stability of the trolley is also significantly enhanced by the fact that each module, by virtue of its stage of manufacture, forms an evenly stable and rigid volume element along with its outer casing. The bases 15 of the stair modules 10 and 13 and the technology module 4 are mechanically such that they can be directly placed on and connected to the rail running bogie. The upper sides of the lower layer modules 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13 are provided with non-shown opposing fittings so that the lower layers can be dimensionally connected to the upper layer modules and secured thereto and force-tightly and tightly.

* ... 30 '7 The furnishings of the clean passenger modules 1 (visual module), 2 (category 1), 3 (category 2), 5 (category 1) and 7 (category 2) correspond to the normal levels of these categories. Toilets are primarily installed in one of the lower deck modules 5-9. However, the Business Module 8 and the Family Module 9 are provided with suitable furniture and equipment for this special purpose. For example, family module 9 may have at least a play corner, a diaper change table and a small hand-wash basin and business module 8 a computer printer, a fax machine, a copier telephone.

The lower deck modules 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of an existing railway wagon can subsequently be replaced with tolerable effort and in a short period of time, for example one or two days, and a new combination of modules adapted to the changed requirements can be implemented.

When a steering cab module 14 is inserted at the other end of a bogie wagon, this double deck wagon can be used as a control car for a trainset reciprocating.

15 The type of wagon that is no longer needed can be broken down into modules and does not need to be scrapped. Returned modules can be reconditioned and reused. Modules designed as solid volume elements can still be used, with minor modifications such as temporary local offices or waiting rooms.
