Description

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle for loading road vehicles, and more particularly to a railway vehicle for loading a bus.

Currently, with the concentration of population in urban areas, depopulation in rural mountain villages is progressing, and this depopulation has led to a decrease in users of local railway lines (so-called local lines) and local route buses. For this reason, railway operators and bus operators are forced to create new transportation systems to replace local railway lines and local route buses in order to create new demand and reduce operating costs. .
Under these circumstances, in recent years, attention has been focused on the development of a transportation system that makes use of the advantages of both rail vehicles and buses by making the railroads and roads seamless, and one of them is loading buses on rail vehicles. The concept of the transport system is raised.

  There have been proposed railway vehicles that can easily load road vehicles such as passenger cars, buses, trucks, etc. that are self-propelled at a departure place and can easily get off at a destination. For example, road vehicles A platform that is mounted on the upper surface of a railway vehicle so as to be rotatable about its center, and is configured to be able to run on the ground beside the track and road vehicles by rotating at a certain angle. There is known a method that makes it possible to directly get on and off the loading platform (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

However, in the above method, since the loading platform rotates about its center, the loading platform protrudes greatly in the width direction of the railway vehicle when the loading platform is rotated. Therefore, there is a risk of causing a collision accident due to an obstacle to a train passing on an adjacent track.
On the other hand, there is also known a method that is considered not to interfere with an adjacent track by horizontally sliding the platform to the side with the platform without rotating the platform (see, for example, Patent Document 4). In this case, the road traveling vehicle travels parallel to the railway vehicle and gets on and off the loading platform.

  These railway vehicles are usually not equipped with power and are designed to be pulled by being connected to a power vehicle such as a locomotive. The power vehicle is reconnected to the direction of travel. For this reason, in order to reconnect the power vehicle, a replacement facility is required at the station, and the station facility becomes large-scale. However, the purpose here is to provide a new transportation system to replace the local railway line and local route bus, and it is not desirable that the station facilities become large.

  On the other hand, the larger the road vehicle to be loaded, the wider the loading section is required.When loading a road vehicle with a high vehicle height, it is also necessary to lower the loading platform as much as possible, so it is difficult to secure an underfloor space. It is difficult to mount all the various devices such as a power source and a driver's cab necessary for traveling alone on one rail vehicle. If all the various devices are mounted on a single rail vehicle, it will not be possible to load it on a rail vehicle unless it is a road vehicle that has a much smaller passenger capacity than a typical passenger train. Considering the belt, it cannot be said that the transport volume is sufficient even on the local railway line.

(Operation of bus stand 100)
Hereinafter, the operation of the bus stand 100 and the operation of each control device will be described with reference to FIG.
First, consider the case where the bus 2 is loaded on the railway vehicle 1 on the platform P.
When the railway vehicle 1 arrives at the platform P on which the bus 2 is loaded, the loading platform raising / lowering switch 32 provided in the cab 30 is set to “up” in order to bring the bus platform 100 into the “deployed state” where the bus 2 can be loaded. set. When the platform lifting / lowering switch 32 is set to “up”, the lifting control device 211 first detects the height of the platform P using the home detection sensor 221 provided in the railway vehicle 1 and according to the height. Then, the lifting device 140 is controlled to raise the loading platform 110 so that the loading platform 110 has a height that can be installed on the platform P.
In addition, when the loading platform raising lamp is provided in the cab 30, the loading platform raising lamp is turned on when the loading platform 110 starts to rise.
In addition, when the slidable lamp is provided in the cab 30, the slidable lamp is turned on when the loading platform 110 completes raising to a height at which it can be installed on the platform P.

After confirming that the lifting of the loading platform 110 is completed, the direction of the platform P on which the bus 2 is loaded is set by the slide direction setting switch 33, and the loading platform slide switch 34 is set to “deployment”. When the loading platform slide switch 34 is set to “deployment”, the lifting control device 211 opens the side cover 160 on the side set to the sliding direction setting switch 33 and controls the sliding device 120 to place the loading platform 110 on the platform P. The slope 180 is also deployed.
If the cab 30 is provided with an up / down lamp, the up / down lamp can be used when the slide device 120 starts to slide or when the side cover detection sensor detects that the side cover 160 starts to open. Goes off.
In addition, when a bus entry / exit ramp is provided in the cab 30, the entry / exit of the bus is possible when the slide device 120 completes the slide or when the slope detection sensor detects that the slope 180 has been deployed. The lamp lights up.

  As a result, the bus stand 100 is in the “deployed state”, and the bus 2 can be put on and off. The bus 2 travels along the train on the platform P toward the loading platform 110, and is placed on the loading platform 110 using the slope 180 as a tread.

After confirming that the bus 2 has stopped at a predetermined position (for example, in the center) of the loading platform 110, the loading platform slide switch 34 provided in the cab 30 is set to “storage” in order to put the bus platform 100 in the “retracted state”. set. When the loading platform slide switch 34 is set to “storage”, the lifting control device 211 stores the slope 180, controls the sliding device 120 to move the loading platform 110 onto the railcar 1, and then continues to the side cover 160. Close.
If a bus entry / exit ramp is provided in the cab 30, the bus entry / exit is detected when the slide device 120 starts to be stored or when the slope detection sensor detects that the slope 180 has been stored. The ready lamp goes off.
If the cab 30 is provided with an up / down lamp, the up / down lamp can be used when the slide device 120 completes storage or when the side cover detection sensor detects that the side cover 160 has been closed. Lights up.

After confirming that the side cover 160 is closed, the loading platform up / down switch 32 provided in the cab 30 is set to “down”. When the platform lifting switch 32 is set to “down”, the lifting control device 211 controls the lifting device 140 to lower the loading platform 110 to the lowest level. As described above, the bus stand 100 is in the “storing state”.
In addition, when the slidable lamp is provided in the cab 30, the slidable lamp is turned off when the loading platform 110 starts to descend.
In addition, when the loading platform raising lamp is provided in the cab 30, the loading platform raising lamp is turned off when the loading platform 110 is lowered to the lowest level.

Here, when the fixed control device 212 receives from the lift control device 211 that the bus stand 100 has been put into the “storing state”, and detects that the bus 2 is securely loaded by the bus loading sensor 222, the fixed control device 212. The bags 171 and 172 are operated to fix the bus 2. At this time, the fixed control device 212 and the bus loading sensor 222 cooperate to function as “loading completion detection means”. Thereafter, if it is necessary to connect a communication line for performing communication such as opening / closing of a door or in-car broadcast between the railway vehicle 1 and the bus 2, it is connected.
Note that the fixed airbags 171 and 172 may be operated in response to an input operation of the airbag operation switch 35 provided in the cab 30. In that case, if it is necessary to connect the communication line between the railway vehicle 1 and the bus 2, it may be connected before the airbag operation switch 35 is operated.
In the case where the airbag fixing lamp is provided in the cab 30, the airbag fixing lamp is turned on when it is detected that a certain level of air pressure is applied to the fixed airbags 171 and 172.
Thus, the loading of the bus 2 onto the railway vehicle 1 is completed.

On the other hand, when lowering the bus 2 from the railway vehicle 1 on the platform P, an operation similar to the above is performed, except that the following operations are performed.
After the communication line for communication between the railway vehicle 1 and the bus 2 is cut, the cargo bed raising / lowering switch 32 is set to “up”. Thereby, the fixing control device 212 suppresses the control of the lifting device 140 by the lifting control device 211 until the release is completed, and starts releasing the fixed airbags 171 and 172 that fix the bus 2.
After the completion of the release, the same operation as when the bus 2 is loaded is performed, and when the bus platform 100 is in the “deployed state”, the bus 2 gets off the loading platform 110 using the slope 180 as a tread. Also, when returning the bus stand 100 to the “stored state”, the same operation as when the bus 2 is loaded is performed. However, when the bus 2 is not loaded, the fixed control device 212 naturally has the fixed airbags 171 and 172. Do not operate.

(Control of linked motor vehicles)
As described above, the railway vehicle 1 includes the lead-in wire 12, the lead-in air pipe, the connector 15, the jumper plug 16, and the like, and can be connected to a diesel powered vehicle. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the lead-through electric wire 12 includes a plurality of signal lines, and each signal line includes a mass control 31b, a brake valve 31c, a reverse rotation handle 31d, and a door switch 31e provided in the cab 31. The control signal / audio signal of the in-car broadcast device 31f and the like can be transmitted.

At the time of connection, the railway vehicle 1 and the power vehicle are connected by a coupler 15, the jumper plug 16 of the railway vehicle 1 and the jumper plug of the power vehicle are connected by a jumper, and the passing air pipes are connected by an air hose. The At this time, the power of the power vehicle is controlled in accordance with a control signal from the master controller 31b, and the brake of the power vehicle is controlled in accordance with the air pressure of the passing air pipe that varies depending on the operation of the brake valve 31c. Similarly, the control signal generated by the operation of the door switch 31e is transmitted to the motor vehicle through the jumper, so that the entrance door of the motor vehicle can be operated from the cab 31 of the railway vehicle 1, and the sound of the in-car broadcast device 31f can be operated. By transmitting the signal to the power vehicle through the jumper, it is also possible to perform in-car broadcast from the cab 31 of the railway vehicle 1 to the inside of the power vehicle. The brake control signal may also be transmitted to the motor vehicle through a jumper.
Thereby, it is possible to control the connected diesel powered vehicle from the cab 31 provided in the railway vehicle 1 and drive the railway vehicle 1 as a leading vehicle. Therefore, the railway vehicle 1 and the diesel powered vehicle are connected. Even in the case of driving, it is possible to drive in either direction.

(Effect of railway vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment)
As described above, the railway vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment is connected to a diesel-powered vehicle so as to utilize the driving force and secure a sufficient passenger capacity, while the connected power vehicle is turned back at the station. Provided with a cab 31 for controlling the driving force of a diesel powered vehicle so that it can be driven in both directions without re-connecting, the bus that has traveled with passengers is loaded on the railway vehicle 1 as it is and travels on the track. It is possible to carry out track running by loading a bus that has been carried with passengers on the railway vehicle 1 as it is, and it is easy to coexist with conventional railways without changing existing facilities. It is possible to realize a seamless traffic system.
