Description

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle, and more particularly to a railway vehicle capable of improving workability when a cowl cover is attached.

  In a railway vehicle, by disposing a cowl cover on the lower side of the vehicle body, it is possible to reduce noise and aerodynamic noise generated from underfloor equipment and improve traveling performance by reducing air resistance. Since it is necessary to remove the cowl cover during maintenance of the underfloor equipment, the cowl cover is detachably fastened and fixed to the vehicle body side using bolts.

  In this case, the vehicle body side member and the cowl cover have manufacturing dimensional tolerances, and the cowl cover is deformed by receiving wind pressure during traveling. Further, when the materials of the cowl cover and the vehicle body side are different, a difference in thermal contraction occurs due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient. Further, the cowl cover is formed in a curved shape so as to follow the outer shape of the vehicle body in consideration of aerodynamic characteristics.

  For this reason, with a mounting structure in which the cowl cover is simply fastened and fixed to the vehicle body side member with bolts, the bolt hole may be misaligned between the cowl cover and the vehicle body side member or tightened during the cowl cover mounting operation. If the surface is not in close contact, forcibly fastening and fixing will cause deformation and breakage of the cowl cover. Even if it can be attached, it cannot absorb deformation due to wind pressure or a difference in thermal contraction with a member on the vehicle body side, so that the cowl cover is deformed or damaged.

  Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 1, the vehicle body side mounting bracket 20 and the skirt side mounting bracket 50 are rotatable about the connection shaft 30 using the bushing 56 and the connection shaft 30 and the axial direction of the connection shaft 30 is disclosed. A rail vehicle having a structure in which the vehicle body side mounting bracket 20 is attached to the vehicle body side and the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b (cowl covers) are attached to the skirt side mounting bracket 50 is also disclosed.

  According to this railway vehicle, the skirt-side mounting bracket 50 rotates relative to the vehicle body-side mounting bracket 20 by rotating about the connecting shaft 30 or moving in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 30. Can do. Therefore, even when the bolt holes (bolt mounting hole 15 and skirt mounting hole 54) are misaligned between the split skirt panels 11a and 11b and the skirt side mounting bracket 50, or when the fastening surface is not in close contact, By absorbing the relative deviation, the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b can be fastened and fixed without being deformed or damaged. Further, since the skirt-side mounting bracket 50 is rotated or moved, the deformation due to wind pressure and the heat shrinkage difference between the members on the vehicle body side can be absorbed, so that the deformation and damage of the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b are suppressed. Can do.

JP 2008-207606 A (paragraphs [0022-0025], FIGS. 5-7, etc.)

  However, since the conventional railcar described above has a structure in which the vehicle body side mounting bracket 20 and the skirt side mounting bracket 50 are rotatably connected by the connecting shaft 30, the split skirt panels 11a and 11b (cowl covers) are removed. Then, the skirt side bracket 50 is rotated by its own weight with the connecting shaft 30 as the center of rotation, and hangs down (the skirt side bracket 50 is in a bowed state).

  Therefore, when reattaching the removed divided skirt panels 11a and 11b, the operator lifts the suspended skirt side bracket 50 and inserts it into the bolt holes of the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b while maintaining the raised state. There is a problem that it is necessary to insert the bolt that has been made to pass through the bolt hole of the skirt side bracket 50 and fasten it to the nut, which makes it difficult to mount the bolt. In particular, it is difficult for an operator who works from the front side of the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b to lift the skirt side bracket 50 located on the back side of the divided skirt panels 11a and 11b and fasten the nut to the tip of the bolt. there were.

  In addition, by setting it as the structure which provides the reinforcement part 33 between the opposing surfaces of a pair of cover side extension part 32, the intensity | strength at the time of the axial displacement being controlled is achieved, aiming at weight reduction of the cover side receiving metal 30. It can be ensured and the durability can be improved.

  The slit portion 34 opens on the side surface of the cover side extending portion 32 and the reinforcing portion 33 (on the downward inclined side of the cover side extending portion 32, the lower side of FIGS. 6B and 6D). It is a slit-shaped passage extending from the opening toward the upper side of the cover side extending portion 32 (center of the reinforcing portion 33), and is smaller than the outer diameter (diameter, dimension D1) of the shaft portion 23 and the shaft portion. The width (dimension t2) is larger than the two-surface width (dimension t1) of 23 (t1 <t2 <D1).

  The insertion hole 35 is a through-hole having a circular cross section that is connected to the end in the extending direction of the slit portion 34 (on the side opposite to the opening) and extends along the axis of the reinforcing portion 33. The outer diameter (dimension D1, see FIG. 5) is slightly larger than the inner diameter (dimension D2) (D1 <D2). Therefore, the shaft portion 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 35 so as to be rotatable and displaceable in the axial direction. Note that the slit portion 34 extends in a direction inclined upward from the cover side fastening portion 31, contrary to the cover side extending portion 32.

  Next, an attachment method for attaching the cowl cover 4 to the base member 3b using the sliding connection body 50 and the reference connection body 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. In this description, FIGS. 2 to 6 are appropriately referred to.

  7 (a) to 7 (d) show slides in which the processes of connecting the vehicle body side receiver 20 and the cover side receiver 30 and fastening the vehicle body receiver 20 to the base member 3b are arranged in time series. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a moving connection body 50. FIG. In addition, the cross section of the vehicle body side receiving member 20 and the cover side receiving member 30 in each figure corresponds to the cross sections shown in FIGS. 5 (d) and 6 (d). Moreover, in each figure, the vehicle body side receiving member 20 is shown at the same angle as the state fastened and fixed to the base member 3b (that is, the state of FIG. 7C).

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when connecting the cover-side metal receiver 30 to the vehicle body-side metal receiver 20, first, the cover-side metal receiver 30 is connected to the vehicle-body-side metal receiver 20, and the opening of the slit portion 34 is arranged. It arrange | positions in the direction which faces the axial part 23 (Namely, the direction where the extending direction of the slit part 34 and the flat surface 23a of the axial part 23 become parallel), and from this state, via the slit part 34, the axial part 23 is arranged. Is inserted into the insertion hole 35. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the cover-side receiver 30 has the cover-side extending portion 32 extended so that the cover-side fastening portion 31 is at the lowest position (lower side in FIG. 7 (b)). The side surfaces on the front end side in the direction (right side in FIGS. 6B and 6D) are located on the uppermost side (upper side in FIG. 7B), respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), after the shaft portion 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 35, the cover side receiver 30 is then pivoted with respect to the vehicle body side receiver 20. As a predetermined amount. Specifically, the direction in which the side surface of the cover side extending portion 32 on the front side in the extending direction (the right side in FIG. 6B and FIG. 6D) is close to the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 of the vehicle body side receiver 20 is shown. In other words, the cover-side metal receiver 30 is rotated in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. Thereby, the front end side in the extending direction of the cover side extending portion 32 is accommodated in the recessed portion 21b in the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 of the vehicle body side receiver 20 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, when the extending direction front end side of the cover side extending portion 32 is accommodated in the recessed portion 21b in the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 of the vehicle body side receiving member 20, this state is maintained. Then, the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 of the vehicle body side receiver 20 is fastened and fixed to the base member 3b by the fastening bolt b1 and the fastening nut N1 (see FIG. 4). As a result, on the side surface of the cover side extending portion 32 in the extending direction front end side (right side in FIGS. 6B and 6D), the outer surface of the inclined portion of the base member 3b (that is, on the vehicle body side fastening portion 21). The surface to be abutted is disposed oppositely. As a result, the rotation of the cover side receiving member 30 with the shaft portion 23 as the center of rotation is caused by the side surface of the cover side extending portion 32 on the front end side in the extending direction being in contact with the inclined portion of the base member 3b. Be regulated.

  Here, from the center of the shaft portion 23 of the vehicle body side receiver 20 to the fastening surface of the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 (the surface abutting against the base member 3b, the right side surface of FIGS. 5B and 5D). The distance (FIG. 5 (b) and FIG. 5 (d) horizontal dimension) is the front end side in the extending direction of the cover side extending portion 32 from the center of the insertion hole 35 of the cover side receiver 30 (FIG. 6 (b)). And the distance to the side surface of FIG. 6 (d) right side) (FIG. 6 (b) and FIG. 6 (d) horizontal dimension).

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7D, the front end side in the extending direction of the cover side extending portion 32 is accommodated in the recessed portion 21b in the vehicle body side fastening portion 21 of the vehicle body side receiver 20, and the cover side extending portion is provided. When the side surface on the front end side of the extending direction 32 and the outer surface of the inclined portion of the base member 3b (that is, the surface that comes into contact with the vehicle body side fastening portion 21) are arranged in parallel, A predetermined gap is formed. As a result, the rotation around the shaft portion 23 of the cover-side metal receiver 30 is permitted within a predetermined range by this gap (see FIG. 8).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the rotation range of the cover-side metal receiver 30 in a state where the vehicle body-side metal receiver 20 is fastened and fixed to the base member 3b will be described. 8 (a) and 8 (b) are cross-sectional views of the sliding coupling body 50 in a state where the vehicle body side receiver 20 is fastened and fixed to the base member 3b, and the cross-sectional state shown in FIG. 7 (d) is obtained. Correspond.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, when the cover-side metal receiver 30 is rotated about the shaft portion 23 as the rotation center, the cover-side extension portion 32 extends in the extending direction front side (see FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B). The right side surface (8 right side) is brought into contact with the outer surface (left side surface in FIG. 8) of the inclined portion of the base member 3b, so that the rotation of the cover side receiver 30 is restricted within a predetermined range.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, the cover side receiver 30 is rotated in the direction in which the cover side fastening portion 31 is lowered (the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 8A with the shaft portion 23 as the rotation center). Then, the side surface at the front end side in the extending direction of the cover side extending portion 32 rises and comes into contact with the base member 3b, whereby the cover side receiving member 30 is arranged at a predetermined position. In addition, the position of the cover side receiver 30 shown in FIG. 8A corresponds to the “first position” recited in the claims.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, the cover-side receiver 30 is rotated in the direction in which the cover-side fastening portion 31 is raised (clockwise in FIG. 8A with the shaft portion 23 as the rotation center). Then, the side surface on the front end side in the extending direction of the cover side extending portion 32 descends and comes into contact with the base member 3b, so that the cover side receiver 30 is disposed at a predetermined position. In addition, the position of the cover side receiver 30 shown in FIG. 8B corresponds to the “second position” described in the claims.

  In this way, when the vehicle body side receiver 20 is fastened and fixed to the base member 3b, the rotational position of the shaft portion 23 of the cover side receiver 30 is restricted within the range from the first position to the second position. Here, in the first position, the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal plane of the cover-side metal receiver 30 (including the point where the axis of the female thread portion 31a is located on the fastening surface of the cover-side fastening portion 31 and the axis of the shaft portion 23). The angle formed by the imaginary plane with respect to the horizontal plane) is the angle θ1, and at the second position, the inclination angle of the cover-side metal receiver 30 with respect to the horizontal plane is the angle θ2. Therefore, the rotatable angle of the cover-side metal receiver 30 is the difference (θ2−θ1) between the angle θ2 and the angle θ1.

  In addition, since the center of gravity of the cover side receiver 30 is biased to the cover side fastening portion 31 side (left side in FIG. 8A) with respect to the insertion hole 35, the cover side receiver 30 is placed on the cover side by its own weight. The fastening portion 31 is rotated in the direction of lowering and is disposed at the first position shown in FIG.

  Here, in a state where the cowl cover 4 is fastened and fixed to the cover side fastening portion 31 of the cover side receiver 30 (see FIG. 3), the cover side receiver 30 is between the first position and the second position (that is, The cover-side metal receiver 30 is disposed at a position where the inclination angle is larger than the angle θ1 and smaller than the angle θ2. Therefore, the cover-side metal receiver 30 can be rotated in both the direction approaching the first position and the direction approaching the second position, and the direction of deformation due to the wind pressure and the direction in which the thermal contraction difference occurs are opposite directions. Even in this case, it is possible to cope with the displacement in both directions, so that deformation and damage of the cowl cover can be suppressed.

  Further, in the range from the first position to the second position, the shaft portion 23 cannot be removed from the insertion hole 35 via the slit portion 34. That is, the rotation of the cover-side metal receiver 30 to the position where the shaft portion 23 can be removed from the insertion hole 35 can be restricted by the contact between the cover-side extending portion 32 and the base member 3b. . Therefore, it is possible to eliminate work and parts such as closing the slit portion 34 with other parts, and accordingly, the product cost can be reduced accordingly.

  As described above, the sliding connector 50 is configured so that the shaft portion 23 formed in the vehicle body side receiving member 20 is inserted into the insertion hole 35 provided in the cover side receiving member 30 via the slit portion 34, thereby Since it is the structure which connects the metal receiver 30 and the vehicle body side metal receiver 20, this connection structure can be comprised by a simple shape. As a result, the vehicle body side receiving member 20 and the cover side receiving member 30 can be manufactured by casting. For example, the connecting shaft and the nut are prepared as separate parts and compared with the conventional product that needs to be assembled. Thus, it is possible to reduce the product cost by reducing the number of parts and the number of assembly steps.

  In this way, if the rotation position of the cover-side metal receiver 30 can be restricted within the range from the first position to the second position by the contact between the cover-side extending portion 32 and the base member 3b, The cowl cover 4 can be prevented from being excessively deformed as the cover side receiver 30 is rotated with respect to the vehicle body side receiver 20 when a wind pressure is applied or when a thermal contraction difference occurs. As a result, the cowl cover 4 can be suppressed. Can be prevented in advance.

  Next, a method for attaching the cowl cover 4 to the cover-side metal receiver 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the railway vehicle 1 showing a state before the cowl cover 4 is attached to the cover-side metal receiver 30.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the liner members L1 and L2 are disk-shaped members, and the liner fastening bolt B3 is screwed into the liner female screw portion 31b of the cover side fastening portion 31 by the liner fastening bolt B3. Thus, the cover side fastening portion 31 is fastened and fixed, and is interposed between the cover side fastening portion 31 and the cowl cover 4. As a result, dimensional tolerances in manufacturing the cowl cover 4 are absorbed, and the fastening surface is brought into close contact.

  When attaching the cowl cover 4 to the cover-side receiver 30, the liner members L1 and L2 are fastened and fixed to the cover-side fastening portion 31 in advance. In this case, since the insertion holes are formed in the liner members L1 and L2 at positions corresponding to the female thread portions 31a of the cover side fastening portion 31, the fastening bolts B2 are fastened to the cover side via the insertion holes. It can be screwed into the female thread portion 31a of the portion 31.

  To attach the cowl cover 4, first, the upper end side of the cowl cover 4 is locked to the locked member 3a of the structure 3 (see FIG. 2B). As a result, the cowl cover 4 is suspended from the structure 3 and the recessed portion 4a faces the cover-side fastening portion 31 of the cover-side metal receiver 30, so that the fastening bolt B2 is inserted while the washer WS is attached. The male screw 31a of the cover side fastening portion 31 is screwed with the male screw at the front end side through the hole 4a1. Thereby, the cowl cover 4 can be attached to the base member 3b via the sliding coupling body 50 (see FIGS. 2 to 4).

  In this case, the rotation position of the cover-side metal receiver 30 is regulated by the cover-side extending portion 32 being in contact with the base member 3b. In particular, in the first position shown in FIG. 9 where the cover side receiver 30 is rotated by its own weight, the fastening surface of the cover side fastening portion 31 faces the cowl cover 4 side. When attaching to the fastening part 31, unlike the conventional product, the operator does not need to perform the work of fastening the fastening bolt while lifting the cover-side support and maintaining the lifted state. Therefore, the workability at the time of attaching the cowl cover 4 can be improved.

  In addition, a female thread portion 31 a is formed in the cover side fastening portion 31 of the cover side receiver 30. Therefore, unlike the conventional product, it is not necessary to perform the work of tightening the fastening bolt on the front side of the cowl cover while screwing the nut to the tip of the fastening bolt on the back side of the cowl cover and holding the nut. In the railway vehicle 1 in this form, the fastening bolt B2 is inserted into the insertion hole 4a1 of the cowl cover 4 from the front side of the cowl cover 4, and the inserted fastening bolt B2 is inserted into the cover side fastening portion 31 of the cover side receiver 30. Can be fastened directly. Therefore, the fastening operation of the fastening bolt B2 can be performed only from the front side of the cowl cover 4, and the workability when the cowl cover 4 is attached can be improved accordingly.

  Further, since the female thread portion 31b for the liner is formed in the cover side fastening portion 31 of the cover side receiving member 30, when the cowl cover 4 is attached, the liner is attached to the cover side fastening portion 31 of the cover side receiving member 30. The members L1 and L2 can be fastened and fixed in advance, and the liner member is interposed between the cover side fastening portion and the cowl cover on the back side of the cowl cover, as in the conventional product, and on the front side of the cowl cover. There is no need to perform the work of tightening the fastening bolt. That is, the liner members L1 and L2 can be fastened and fixed to the cover side fastening portion 31 in advance, and thereafter, the fastening bolt B2 can be fastened only from the front side of the cowl cover 4 (left side in FIG. 9). Therefore, the workability when attaching the cowl cover 4 can be improved accordingly.

The only difference is that the (width in the left-right direction in FIG. 10) is different, and the other configurations (for example, the shape dimensions in the cross section at the position shown in FIG. 6 (d)) are the same.

  In the cover-side metal receiver 30 of the sliding connector 50, the distance between the outer surfaces of the cover-side extending portion 32 (the width in the left-right direction in FIG. 6A) is set to the dimension W2. In the two-cover side receiver 130, the distance between the outer surfaces of the second cover side circular portion 132 (width in the left-right direction in FIG. 10) is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the dimension W1 (see FIG. 5).

  Thereby, in the reference | standard connection body 60, the rotation centering on the axial part (not shown) of the 2nd cover side receiver 130 is within a predetermined range (namely, the same range as the sliding connection body 50). On the other hand, the movement of the shaft portion of the second cover-side metal receiver 130 in the axial direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 10) makes the second cover-side extending portion 132 abut on the vehicle body-side extending portion 22. Therefore, it is regulated (cannot be moved).

  As described above, the reference coupling body 60 is configured such that the second cover side extending portion 132 of the second cover side receiving member 130 is brought into contact with the vehicle body side extending portion 22 of the second vehicle body receiving member 120, thereby Since the displacement of the shaft portion of the two-cover side receiving member 130 in the axial direction is restricted, the movement of the second cover-side receiving member 130 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body can be restricted, and as a result, the cowl cover 4 is attached to the vehicle body. Can be securely fixed and held at a predetermined position in the front-rear direction.
