Abstract
A paneling element for lining the inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle has a plate-shaped base body and an angled strip element which extends substantially parallel to an end side of the base body and which is embodied in one piece with the base body. The base body and the strip element form a receptacle in which a connecting element can be accommodated. The paneling element can be connected to the inside of the side wall by way of the connecting element. As a result, the paneling element can be easily and cost-effectively attached in a secure fashion to the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle.
Description
- The invention relates to a paneling element, an arrangement and a method for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle.
- It is commonly known that a side wall paneling for a side wall of a rail vehicle serves to visually conceal an inside of a body shell of the rail vehicle.
- From practical experience, it is known that an arrangement for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle has two plate-like paneling elements, which are arranged adjacent to each other and are fastened to the inside of the side wall by means of connecting elements.
- There is a general need to fasten a paneling for a side wall of a rail vehicle in a simple and cost-effective manner securely to an inside of a side wall of the rail vehicle.
- An object of the invention is to define measures whereby a paneling for a side wall of a rail vehicle can be fastened in a simple and cost-effective manner securely to an inside of a side wall of the rail vehicle.
- This object is achieved by a paneling element for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle, an arrangement for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle, and a method for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle according to the independent claims.
- According to the invention, a paneling element for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle is provided, comprising a plate-like main body and an angled strip element, which latter extends substantially parallel to an end face of the main body and is configured in one piece with the main body, wherein the main body and the strip element form a receptacle, in which can be accommodated a connecting element by means of which the paneling element can be connected to the inside of the side wall.
- The paneling element according to the invention can be connected to the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle in a particularly simple and secure manner, since a connecting element can be held in a receptacle running along an end face of a main body of the connecting element and, at the same time, can be connectable to the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle.
- Since the strip element and the main body can be configured in one piece, the paneling element can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner.
- Embodiments of the paneling element are described below. These also apply to the arrangement and the method.
- The paneling element can be produced as a pressed part, so that the paneling element can be producible in a particularly cost-effective manner in a single work step.
- In particular, the main body of the paneling element can be of cuboid configuration and a longitudinal side of the cuboid main body can extend along a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle. The strip element can extend transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal extent of the main body.
- In particular, the strip element can be arranged on the main body at a distance from the end face of the main body, so that the receptacle can have sufficient depth to accommodate the connecting element.
- In particular, the strip element can have an elongate body having two strip portions, which can be arranged transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to each other. This can enable a cost-effective and simple production of the strip element overall.
- In particular, the receptacle can be of elongate, in particular groove-shaped configuration and extend along the entire longitudinal extent of the strip element.
- In particular, the main body can have notches adjacent to one or both surfaces of the strip element, which notches can enable a slight movement of the strip element in a direction transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to a longitudinal extent of the strip element. As a result, stresses which can be exerted on the strip element due to the mounting of the paneling element on the inside of the side wall or in a mounted state of the paneling element, can hence be reduced or avoided.
- The end face of the main body and an end face of the strip element can be arranged adjacent to each other, viewed with respect to a direction toward an opening of the receptacle, so that the main body and the strip element can terminate flush with each other viewed in the direction toward the opening of the receptacle. A contact force which is approximately equally large on both sides can hence be applied to the connecting element, so that the connecting element can be held particularly securely in the receptacle.
- In addition, a connection of the paneling element to the inside of the side wall can be realized without breaching of the strip element, so that the strip element cannot be subjected to any additional stresses and the paneling element can be securely fastenable to the inside of the side wall. In addition, in the mounted state of the paneling element, only a slight gap, through which the connecting element can be visible, can remain to an adjacently arranged paneling element.
- The strip element can have one or more pocket-like bulges, which can be facing away from the main body. In particular, the plurality of pocket-like bulges can be similarly, in particular identically, configured. The receptacle which can be formed by the strip element and the main body can hence be widened in the region of the pocket-like bulge of the strip element, so that the connecting element can be introduced particularly easily into the receptacle. An assembly effort involved in connecting the paneling element to the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle can hence be reduced.
- The pocket-like bulge of the strip element, viewed along the end face of the main body of the connecting element, can be arranged on an end region of the main body or on a middle region of the main body. The paneling element can hence be connected to the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle at a plurality of connecting points, so that an unwanted detachment of the paneling element from the inside of the side wall in the course of time can be prevented.
- The invention further relates to an arrangement for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle, comprising a first paneling element (described above) for lining the inside of the side wall, a second paneling element (described above) for lining the inside of the side wall, and a connecting element, by means of which the first paneling element and the second paneling element are connectable to the inside of the side wall, wherein the connecting element is accommodated in a receptacle of the first paneling element and in a receptacle of the second paneling element, which latter receptacle lies opposite the receptacle of the first paneling element.
- The arrangement according to the invention consequently enables a particularly simple lining of the inside of the side wall of the rail vehicle, since paneling elements arranged adjacent to each other can be connected by means of a common connecting element, which can simultaneously serve for the connection to the inside of the side wall. The arrangement according to the invention can therefore have few components, so that the arrangement can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner. In addition, a mounting of the arrangement can be carried out in a particularly short time, so that assembly costs of the arrangement can be particularly low.
- Embodiments of the arrangement are described below. These also apply to the paneling element and the method.
- In particular, the first and second paneling element can be arranged in mirror image to each other, and openings of the receptacles of the first and second paneling element can face each other.
- The arrangement further has an elongate spring element, which is accommodated, in particular press-fitted, by force closure in the receptacles of the first and second paneling element. In particular, the spring element can be configured as a metal plate. The spring element can enable a stable, flexible connection between two adjacent paneling elements, so that the stability of the arrangement can be enhanced.
- A surface of the spring element, which surface can be facing away from the main body, can be covered, in particular fully, with a damping element, in particular felt.
- Damage to the first and second paneling element by the connecting element can hence be avoided, since the damping element, which can be facing toward the connecting element, can cushion vibrations of the connecting element in the mounted state of the arrangement. In addition, the mounting of the arrangement can be simplified, in particular compared with an introduction of the damping element into the receptacle of the first and second paneling element and/or a bonding of the damping element in the receptacles of the first and second paneling element, since the spring element already provided with the damping element can be inserted ready-made into the receptacles of the first and second paneling element.
- In particular, the damping element can be stuck onto the spring element, so that a particularly simple and therefore cost-effective production of the damped spring element can be enabled.
- In particular, the connecting element can have a connecting plate and a connecting bracket, and the connecting plate and the connecting bracket can be screwed together and bolted to the inside of the side wall. Since the connecting element can be configured as a two-part component, production-related tolerances of the connecting element can be compensated by the assembly process.
- In particular, the connecting plate can be of cuboid configuration.
- In particular, the connecting bracket can have a U-shaped main body and two contact plates, which can respectively be arranged on end regions of a different branch portion of the main body and can extend substantially parallel to a connecting portion of the main body which can join together the branch portions. In particular, the contact plates can be arranged outside the main body and be configured, for instance, as bent-over end regions of the branch portions in one piece with the main body. The connecting portion can here be bolted to the connecting plate. This can enable a cost-effective production of the connecting bracket, which can be sufficiently stable to bear the paneling element.
- In particular, a longitudinal extent of the connecting portion and of the contact plates can be transverse, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal extent of the strip element and/or a longitudinal extent of the receptacle.
- The invention further relates to a rail vehicle, in particular a train, for instance a high speed train, which has an arrangement (described above) for lining an inside of a side wall of the rail vehicle.
- The invention further relates to a method for lining an inside of a side wall of a rail vehicle, comprising the steps: provision of a first paneling element (described above) for lining the inside of the side wall, provision of a second paneling element (described above) for lining the inside of the side wall, and connection of the first paneling element and of the second paneling element to the inside of the side wall by means of a connecting element, wherein the connecting element is accommodated in a receptacle of the first paneling element and in a receptacle of the second paneling element, which latter receptacle lies opposite the receptacle of the first paneling element.
- Embodiments of the method are described below. These also apply to the paneling element and the arrangement.
- The method further comprises: provision of an elongate spring element and arrangement of the spring element in the receptacles of the first and second paneling element along an entire longitudinal extent of the receptacles prior to the connection of the first and second paneling element to the inside of the side wall. The first and second paneling element can hence be fastened as a preassembled module to the inside of the side wall, so that the assembly effort in the rail vehicle can be reduced.
