Description

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle.

  As a conventional railway vehicle, a vehicle is known in which a guest room in which a seat is installed and a luggage room in which a suitcase is stored are separated by a partition wall. In such a railway vehicle, passengers do not have to bring large luggage into the cabin, so that the seat can be used extensively.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned railway vehicle, the partition wall is often made of an opaque decorative plate, and the luggage compartment tends to be a blind spot from the passenger room, so it is necessary to take measures against theft of the luggage. As a technology for preventing theft of luggage, a device for photographing a luggage room with a camera and displaying the image on a display of a driver's seat (for example, see Patent Document 1), a communication tag attached to the luggage, and a portable terminal of a passenger For example, there is a system for tracking and managing the position of a communication tag when control information for starting tracking of a package is input (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
JP-A-8-238976 JP-A-2005-157507

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the burden on the crew increases because the crew must pay attention to the display. In the technique described in Patent Document 2, there is a problem that a passenger's burden increases because a passenger must attach a communication tag to his / her baggage or input information from a portable terminal.

  As another method, it may be possible to eliminate the partition wall itself. However, if the partition wall is eliminated, the comfort of passengers may be impaired because noise when passengers are taken in and out and passengers pass through the cabin sounds. In addition, it is conceivable to use a transparent member for the partition wall, but even in such a case, the passenger sitting in the vicinity of the partition wall feels uncomfortable because passenger occupants who pass near the luggage compartment are always visible. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure sufficient passenger comfort.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a railway vehicle that can prevent theft of luggage without impairing passenger comfort and without burdening the crew and passengers.

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle comprising a guest room, a luggage room, and a partition wall that partitions the guest room and the luggage room, wherein the partition wall has a first state in which the luggage room can be seen from the guest room and the luggage room from the guest room. Control means for switching to a second state in which it is not possible to see through.

  According to this railway vehicle, the partition wall can be switched to a state in which the luggage room can be seen from the guest room, so that the passenger can check the luggage in the luggage room while staying in the guest room. Therefore, the passenger can easily manage the luggage without attaching a special tag or the like to the luggage. Since it becomes easy for the passenger to manage the luggage, the burden on the crew accompanying the monitoring of the luggage room can be reduced. Therefore, theft of the luggage can be prevented without imposing a burden on both the crew member and the passenger. In addition, since the partition wall can be switched from the cabin to a state where the luggage compartment cannot be seen, passengers sitting in the vicinity of the partition wall will not always be able to see passenger passengers traveling near the luggage compartment, so it will be comfortable be able to. In addition, by providing the partition wall, it is possible to prevent the noise in the luggage room from sounding in the guest room.

  Further, the railway vehicle of the present invention includes a human sensor that detects that a person has entered the luggage compartment, and the control means is a partition wall when the human sensor detects that a person has entered the luggage compartment. Is preferably switched from the second state to the first state. Thus, when a person enters the luggage room, the luggage room can be seen from the cabin, so that theft from the luggage room can be surely prevented.

  The railway vehicle according to the present invention further includes a weight sensor that detects a change in weight in the luggage compartment, and the control means places the partition wall in the second state when a change in weight of the luggage compartment is detected by the weight sensor. It is preferable to switch from 1 to the first state. As a result, when the weight of the luggage compartment changes, that is, when the luggage is taken in and out of the luggage compartment, the luggage compartment can be seen from the cabin, so that theft from the luggage compartment can be surely prevented.

  In the railcar of the present invention, the control means switches the partition wall from the first state to the second state when a predetermined time has elapsed after switching the partition wall from the second state to the first state. It is preferable to switch. In this case, since the state in which the luggage room can be seen from the guest room can be temporarily set, and the luggage room can usually not be seen from the guest room, the comfort of passengers sitting near the partition wall can be ensured more reliably.

  Further, the railway vehicle of the present invention further includes position detection means for detecting the current position of the host vehicle, and the control means has the current position of the host vehicle within a predetermined distance from the next stop station by the position detection means. It is preferable that the partition wall is switched from the second state to the first state when is detected. Baggage theft is often confused by passengers getting ready to get off, but according to the present invention, from a short time before arriving at the station to the next station, the luggage room can be seen through. This makes it possible to prevent theft more reliably.

  In the railcar of the present invention, the control means switches the partition wall from the first state to the second state when the position detecting means detects that the position of the host vehicle has passed the next stop station. It is preferable. In this case, the luggage room cannot be seen from the guest room after the next stop station. Therefore, the state in which the luggage room can be seen from the cabin side can be temporarily set, and the luggage room can usually not be seen from the cabin, so that the comfort of passengers sitting near the partition wall can be ensured more reliably.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent theft of luggage without impairing passenger comfort and without burdening the crew and passengers.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a railway vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a railway vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 3 are views showing the entrance / exit of the guest room of the railway vehicle 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the railway vehicle 1 has a passenger cabin 2 extending along the longitudinal direction of the railway vehicle 1 and a boarding / alighting deck 4 positioned at one end of the passenger cabin 2. The cabin 2 is divided into a passage 5 and a pair of seating areas 6 a and 6 b, and the passage 5 and the seating areas 6 a and 6 b extend along the longitudinal direction of the railway vehicle 1. The seat area 6a and the seat area 6b are located across the passage 5, and a plurality of seats 8 are installed in each of the seat areas 6a and 6b.

  The passenger cabin 2 is adjacent to the boarding / alighting deck 4, and the boarding / alighting decks 4 are located at the entrances 10a and 10b of the railway vehicle 1. Luggage rooms 12 and 13 for storing passengers' luggage are provided between the cabin 2 and the entrances 10a and 10b. The luggage compartments 12 and 13 and the entrances 10a and 10b are partitioned by walls 14 and 15, and the luggage compartments 12 and 13 and the cabin 2 are partitioned by partition walls 16 and 17. The wall portions 14 and 15 and the partition walls 16 and 17 are opposed to each other, and a shelf board 18 on which a load is placed is bridged between the wall portions 14 and 15 and the partition walls 16 and 17.

  Human sensors 20 and 21 for detecting that a person has entered the luggage compartments 12 and 13 are installed on the surfaces of the wall portions 14 and 15 facing the partition walls 16 and 17. As the human sensors 20 and 21, known sensors using infrared rays or ultrasonic waves can be used. When there are persons in the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the human sensors 20 and 21 output detection signals to the control unit 32 described later. When the person disappears from the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the human sensors 20 and 21 stop outputting the detection signals.

  In addition, the installation location of the human sensors 20 and 21 is not limited to the above. A person who puts in and out the luggage in the luggage compartments 12 and 13 is detected, while a person who just passes the luggage compartments 12 and 13 is detected. Any place that does not. More specifically, the surfaces of the partition walls 16 and 17 facing the wall portions 14 and 15 and the ceilings of the luggage compartments 12 and 13 may be mentioned.

  The partition wall 16 is a wall that can be switched between a transparent state (first state) and an opaque state (second state), and the switching is performed by a control unit 32 described later. The “transparent state” refers to a state in which the passenger deck 2 can be fully seen from the cabin 2 through the partition wall 16. On the other hand, the “opaque state” refers to a state in which the passenger deck 2 cannot be substantially seen from the passenger cabin 2.

  More specifically, the partition wall 16 is formed by overlapping two panels 16a and 16b at a predetermined interval, and each of the panels 16a and 16b has a liquid crystal molecule orientation direction between a pair of transparent glass plates. A liquid crystal film whose transparency changes by changing is sandwiched. The partition wall 16 is electrically connected to the control unit 32, and the alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is determined by an instruction signal received from the control unit 32. When the instruction signal received from the control unit 32 is the first instruction signal, the liquid crystal molecules are oriented in such a direction that the liquid crystal film becomes transparent. When the instruction signal received from the control unit 32 is the second instruction signal, the liquid crystal molecules are oriented in such a direction that the liquid crystal film becomes opaque. Thus, since the transparency of the liquid crystal film changes according to the instruction signal from the control unit 32, the partition wall 16 can be controlled to be switched between transparent and opaque by the control unit 32.

  The partition wall 17 is formed by overlapping two panels 17a and 17b with a predetermined gap. The panels 17a and 17b have the same configuration as the panels 16a and 16b. Therefore, the partition wall 17 is also switched between the transparent state and the opaque state by the control unit 32 described later.

  The passage 5 of the guest room 2 and the entrance / exit deck 4 are partitioned by a single-sliding door type guest room door 22, and the guest room door 22 is configured by a panel (not shown) similar to the panel 16 a of the partition wall 16. The panel of the cabin door 22 is hollowed out at the center, and a transparent glass plate 28 is fitted in the center (see FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the railway vehicle 1 includes a control unit (control means) 32. The control unit 32 switches the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 between the transparent state and the opaque state when the human sensors 20 and 21 detect the entrance and exit of people in the luggage compartments 12 and 13.

  More specifically, the control unit 32 is electrically connected to the human sensors 20 and 21, the partition walls 16 and 17, and the cabin door 22. When the control unit 32 receives the detection signal from at least one of the human sensors 20 and 21, while the detection signal is being received, the control unit 32 makes the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 transparent. A first instruction signal is output. In a state where no detection signal is received from any of the human sensors 20 and 21, the control unit 32 makes a second switching signal for making the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 opaque. Is output.

  Next, the operation in the above-described railway vehicle 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when there are no passengers in the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the human sensors 20 and 21 do not detect a person and therefore do not output a detection signal to the control unit 32. When the control unit 32 has not received the detection signal, the control unit 32 continues to output the second instruction signal to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22. As a result, the partition walls 16 and 17 are in an opaque state, and the cabin door 22 is in an opaque state except for the central portion into which the transparent glass plate 28 is fitted. Therefore, when there are no passengers in the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the luggage compartments 12 and 13 cannot be seen from the cabin 2.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when a passenger enters the luggage compartment 12, the human sensor 20 detects this and outputs a detection signal to the control unit 32. The control unit 32 that has received the detection signal switches the instruction signal sent to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 from the second instruction signal to the first instruction signal. By changing the instruction signal from the second instruction signal to the first instruction signal, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched from the opaque state to the transparent state.

  The human sensor 20 continues to output a detection signal to the control unit 32 while a person is in the luggage compartment 12. The control unit 32 continues to output the first instruction signal to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 while receiving the detection signal from the human sensor 20. The partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 maintain a transparent state while receiving the first instruction signal from the control unit 32. Therefore, from the time when a person enters the luggage room 12 until the person leaves the room, the passenger room 2 can see the luggage rooms 12 and 13, and the passengers who want to take the luggage out of the luggage room 12 and the safety of their own luggage. Can be seen while in the seat 8.

  Thereafter, when the person disappears from the luggage compartment 12, the output of the detection signal from the human sensor 20 to the control unit 32 is stopped. Thus, the control unit 32 that cannot receive the detection signal switches the instruction signal sent to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 from the first instruction signal to the second instruction signal. By changing the instruction signal from the first instruction signal to the second instruction signal, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched from the transparent state to the opaque state. The control unit 32 continues to output the second instruction signal until receiving the detection signal from the human sensor 20 again. Therefore, after a person leaves the luggage room 12, the luggage room 12, 13 cannot be seen from the cabin 2 until a person enters the luggage room 12, 13 again.

  As described above, according to the railway vehicle 1 of the present embodiment, the partition walls 16 and 17 that partition the cabin 2 and the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be made transparent by the control of the control unit 32. You can see how the luggage compartments 12 and 13 look. Therefore, since the passenger can check the luggage placed in the luggage compartments 12 and 13 while staying in the cabin 2, it is not necessary to attach a special tag or the like to the luggage. In addition, since it becomes easy for the passengers to manage the luggage, it is not necessary for the crew to monitor the luggage compartment 12. Therefore, theft of the luggage can be prevented without imposing a burden on both the crew member and the passenger.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the partition walls 16 and 17 can be switched to an opaque state under the control of the control unit 32. Therefore, as long as no person enters or leaves the luggage compartment 12, the partition walls 16 and 17 can be kept in an opaque state. As a result, passengers sitting in the seats 8 near the partition walls 16 and 17 can spend comfortably because passenger passengers passing by the luggage compartment 12 are not always in sight. Moreover, by providing the partition walls 16 and 17, the noise of the luggage compartment 12 can also be prevented from reverberating in the guest room.

  In the present embodiment, when the human sensor 20 detects that a person has entered the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the control unit 32 switches the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 to a transparent state. Thereby, when a person enters the luggage compartments 12 and 13, the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be seen from the cabin 2, so that theft from the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be reliably prevented.

[Second Embodiment]
Then, the rail vehicle which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the entrance / exit of the passenger room of the railway vehicle 40 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, a position detection sensor (position detection means) 42 is provided instead of the human sensors 20 and 21 in the first embodiment. The position detection sensor 42 detects the current position of the railway vehicle 1, and a known technique such as a speed generator or a GPS system can be applied as the position detection sensor 42. When the position detection sensor 42 detects the current position of the railway vehicle 1, the position detection sensor 42 outputs position information indicating the position to the control unit 32. The position detection sensor 42 detects the current position of the railway vehicle 1 at predetermined time intervals, and outputs position information to the control unit 32 each time it is detected.

  The control unit 32 sequentially receives position information from the position detection sensor 42. Based on the received position information, the control unit 32 determines whether or not the current position of the railway vehicle 1 is within a predetermined distance from the next stop station. It is also judged whether or not the next stop station has passed. Note that “within a predetermined distance from the next stop station” means, for example, within 10 km from the next stop station.

  When the control unit 32 determines that the current position of the railway vehicle 1 is more than a predetermined distance from the next stop station, the control unit 32 makes these opaque to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22. A second instruction signal is output. On the other hand, when it is determined that the current position of the railway vehicle 1 is within a predetermined distance from the next stop station, the first for making these transparent with respect to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22. The instruction signal is output. After passing through the stop station, the control unit 32 outputs a second instruction signal in place of the first instruction signal. The controller 32 continues to output the instruction signal output immediately before the next position information is received.

  Subsequently, the operation of the above-described railway vehicle 40 will be described.

  First, let us consider a state in which the railway vehicle 40 is traveling far away from the next stop station. Based on the position information output by the position detection sensor 42, the control unit 32 determines whether or not the railway vehicle 40 is separated from the next stop station by a predetermined distance or more. In this case, the second instruction signal is output to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 by determining that the vehicle is separated from the next stop station by a predetermined distance or more. As a result, the partition walls 16 and 17 are in an opaque state, and the cabin door 22 is in an opaque state except for the central portion where the transparent glass plate 28 is fitted. For this reason, the luggage rooms 12 and 13 cannot be seen from the guest room 2.

  The control unit 32 continues to output the second instruction signal until it is determined that the railway vehicle 40 has reached a predetermined distance from the next stop station. Therefore, the luggage compartments 12 and 13 cannot be seen from the guest room 2 until the next stop station is near.

  Next, consider a state in which the railcar 1 is approaching the next stop station. Based on the position information output by the position detection sensor 42, the control unit 32 determines whether or not the railway vehicle 40 is separated from the next stop station by a predetermined distance or more. In this case, it is determined that it is within a predetermined distance from the next stop station, and the instruction signal sent to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 is switched from the second instruction signal to the first instruction signal. By changing the instruction signal from the second instruction signal to the first instruction signal, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched from the opaque state to the transparent state. Therefore, when the next stop station is near, it is possible to look through the luggage compartments 12 and 13 from the cabin 2, and the passengers who want to take out the luggage from the luggage compartment 12 and the safety of their own luggage are visually recognized while in the seat 8. can do.

  The control unit 32 continues to output the first instruction signal until it is determined that the railway vehicle 40 has passed the next stop station. Therefore, it is possible to look through the luggage compartments 12 and 13 from the guest room 2 until the next stop station is close to the departure from the station.

  Consider a state in which the railway vehicle 1 further proceeds, stops at a station, and departs from the station. In this case, the control unit 32 determines that the current position of the railway vehicle 1 has passed the stop station based on the position information output from the position detection sensor 42. The control unit 32 switches the instruction signal sent to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 from the first instruction signal to the second instruction signal. By changing the instruction signal from the first instruction signal to the second instruction signal, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched from the transparent state to the opaque state. Therefore, after leaving the station, the luggage rooms 12, 13 cannot be seen from the guest room 2.

  The control unit 32 continues to output the second instruction signal until it is determined that the railway vehicle 40 has reached a predetermined distance from the next stop station. For this reason, it is impossible to see the luggage compartments 12 and 13 from the guest room 2 until the next stop station approaches after leaving the station.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to see the luggage compartments 12 and 13 from the guest room 2 until the next stop station is close and before the departure from the station. Baggage theft occurs more frequently while stopping at a station or just before stopping than when the vehicle is running. That is, while the vehicle is traveling, it is difficult for theft to occur because it is impossible to take the luggage out of the vehicle. On the other hand, since it is easy for a person who prepares to get off the vehicle to take out the baggage immediately before the vehicle stops, and it is easy to get off the platform while the vehicle is stopped, so theft is likely to occur. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, when the vehicle is stopped at the station or just before the stop, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the guest room door 22 are made transparent so that the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be checked from the guest room 2. It becomes possible to prevent theft of luggage more reliably.

  Further, the luggage room 12, 13 can not be seen from the guest room 2 during the time zone except when the vehicle is stopped at the station or just before the stop. Since the state in which the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be seen from the cabin 2 is limited to the timing at which theft is likely to occur, and in other cases the state can be seen out, the comfort of passengers sitting near the partition walls 16 and 17 is further improved. It can be surely secured.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the guest room door 22 is not limited to a single sliding door type, and may be a double sliding door. Further, the guest room door 22 may not be provided.

  The partition walls 16 and 17 and the guest room door 22 are made of liquid crystal film. However, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the guest room door 22 are not limited to this. For example, a transparent panel and a movable opaque member (for example, A light shielding curtain) may be used. In this case, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched between a state where the opaque member covers the transparent panel and a state where the opaque member does not cover according to the control of the control unit 32.

  In addition, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 may be ones using a half mirror. In this case, the railway vehicle further includes a lighting device that irradiates the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 and can be controlled by the control unit 32. When the control unit 32 outputs the first instruction signal to the lighting device, the light irradiation by the lighting device is stopped, and the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 become substantially transparent. When the control unit 32 outputs the second instruction signal to the lighting device, light is emitted from the lighting device, and the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 function as a mirror.

  In addition, although both the partition walls 16 and 17 and the guest room door 22 can be switched between a transparent state and an opaque state, only the partition walls 16 and 17 can be switched between a transparent state and an opaque state. May be made of an opaque decorative board or the like.

  In addition, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are switched to a transparent state or an opaque state under the control of the control unit 32, but it is preferable that manual switching is possible in consideration of an emergency or the like.

  In the first embodiment, the human sensors 20 and 21 are used. However, the detecting means is not limited to the human sensors 20 and 21 as long as the loading / unloading of the luggage in the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be detected. For example, a weight sensor that detects a change in weight may be installed on each shelf board 18 of the luggage compartments 12 and 13. The weight applied to the shelf board 18 changes when a package is placed and taken out. If this change is detected by the weight sensor and a detection signal is output from the weight sensor, the partition walls 16 and 17 and the passenger door 22 are moved from the opaque state when the luggage is loaded and unloaded in the luggage compartments 12 and 13. It becomes possible to switch to the transparent state.

  When the weight sensor is used as described above, the control unit 32 switches the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 from the opaque state to the transparent state, and then the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door for a predetermined time. It is preferable to keep the door 22 in a transparent state. More specifically, when receiving the detection signal from the weight sensor, the control unit 32 outputs a first instruction signal to the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 for a predetermined time. After the elapse of a predetermined time, the second signal is output instead of the first instruction signal.

  Since the change in weight is instantaneous, detection by the weight sensor is also instantaneous. If the partition walls 16 and 17 and the cabin door 22 are made transparent only while the weight sensor is detecting, the time during which the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be checked from the cabin 2 becomes extremely short, and the anti-theft effect is achieved. It will fade. By making the state transparent for a while after detection by the weight sensor, it is possible to sufficiently recognize a passenger who tries to take out the luggage from the luggage compartment 12, and to prevent theft more reliably. In addition, since the state changes to an opaque state after a predetermined time has elapsed, the state in which the luggage compartments 12 and 13 can be seen from the cabin 2 is assumed to be temporary, and the luggage compartments 12 and 13 are normally not seen from the cabin 2 side. it can. Therefore, the comfort of the passenger in the seat 8 near the partition walls 16 and 17 can be ensured more reliably.

  In the first embodiment, the human sensor 20 continuously outputs the detection signal while there is a person in the luggage compartment 12, but outputs the detection signal only at the moment when the person enters the luggage compartment 12. Also good. In this case, when receiving the detection signal from the human sensor 20, the control unit 32 outputs a first instruction signal to the partition walls 16, 17 and the cabin door 22 for a predetermined time. After the elapse of a predetermined time, the second signal is output instead of the first instruction signal.
