Description
VEHICULE POUR LE REGROUPEMENT ET LE TRANSPORT D'AUTOMOBILES ET NOTAMMENT VEHICULE FERROVIAIRE L'invention se rapporte à un véhicule pour le regroupement et le transport d'automobiles et notamment à un véhicule ferroviaire. The invention relates to a vehicle for grouping and transporting automobiles and in particular to a railway vehicle.
Classiquement, les véhicules de transport d'automobiles comprennent deux plateformes placées l'une au dessus de l'autre sur lesquelles les automobiles à transporter viennent prendre place les unes derrière les autres.Conventionally, automobile transport vehicles comprise two platforms placed one above the other on which the automobiles to be transported take place one behind the other.
Pour permettre à ces véhicules de circuler sur toutes les voies de circulation sans risquer de rencontrer un obstacle notamment dans les courbes, la section transversale de ces véhicules de transport doit s'inscrire dans les limites d'un gabarit fonction de la distance entre les bogies.To allow these vehicles to travel on all lanes without risking an obstacle, especially in curves, the cross section of these transport vehicles must be within the limits of a gauge depending on the distance between the bogies. .
Notamment, la hauteur et la largeur du véhicule ne doivent pas, pendant la circulation, excéder des valeurs maximales préétablies.In particular, the height and width of the vehicle must not, during traffic, exceed preset maximum values.
Bien entendu, en dehors de la période de circulation du véhicule ou du convoi de véhicules et notamment au moment du chargement ou du déchargement des automobiles, il n'est pas obligatoire de respecter ce gabarit et, de ce fait, la section du véhicule de transport peut alors occuper une section supérieure à celle imposée par le dit gabarit.Of course, outside the period of circulation of the vehicle or the convoy of vehicles and in particular at the time of the loading or unloading of the cars, it is not obligatory to respect this gauge and, consequently, the section of the vehicle of transport can then occupy a section greater than that imposed by the said template.
Classiquement, la plateforme inférieure est située au plus près du plan de référence que constitue le sol ou les rails tandis qu'au moins localement, la plateforme dite supérieure peut prendre deux positions :Conventionally, the lower platform is located as close as possible to the reference plane that constitutes the ground or the rails, while at least locally, the so-called upper platform can take two positions:
- l'une dite de transport où cette plateforme est positionnée au plus près du toit des véhicules situés sur la plateforme inférieure et l'autre dite d'embarquement où cette plateforme supérieure est surélevée par rapport à la position de transport d'une valeur suffisante pour, d'une part,
permettre la circulation des automobiles sans risquer de contact accidentel de leurs toits avec le dessous de la plateforme supérieure et malgré les mouvements dus à la suspension et, d'autre part, de permettre au préposé chargé de placer les automobiles sur les plateformes de circuler à pieds sans devoir se courber.- one called transport where this platform is positioned closest to the roof of vehicles located on the lower platform and the other called boarding where this upper platform is raised relative to the transport position by a sufficient value for, on the one hand, allow the movement of automobiles without risking accidental contact of their roofs with the underside of the upper platform and despite the movements due to the suspension and, on the other hand, allow the attendant responsible for placing the automobiles on the platforms to circulate at feet without having to bend.
Généralement, sur les véhicules de transport ferroviaire, les extrémités des plateformes inférieures sont également pourvues de rampes mobiles et de passerelles en vue de permettre aux automobiles de circuler d'un wagon à un autre et de franchir tant les moyens d'accrochage des wagons entre eux que les tampons.Generally, on rail transport vehicles, the ends of the lower platforms are also provided with movable ramps and gangways in order to allow cars to move from one wagon to another and to cross both the means for hooking wagons between them as tampons.
Ces rampes sont généralement articulées autour d'un axe transversal associé à leurs extrémités opposées à l'extrémité de plateforme qu'elles équipent et leurs extrémités jouxtant cette extrémité de plateforme étant relevées pendant l'embarquement des automobiles et éclipsées pendant le transport.These ramps are generally articulated around a transverse axis associated with their ends opposite the platform end which they equip and their ends adjoining this platform end being raised during the loading of the cars and overshadowed during transport.
Pour la manoeuvre de ces rampes et/ou de ces plateformes, sont prévus des moyens de levage.For the operation of these ramps and / or these platforms, lifting means are provided.
Pour protéger les automobiles placés sur ces véhicules de transport notamment des actes de vandalisme, il est connu d'équiper ces véhicules de parois latérales fixes et d'un capot (DE-A-1.218.491) qui, couvrant essentiellement la plateforme supérieure, est articulé autour d'un axe jouxtant l'un de ses bords longitudinaux de manière à pouvoir, lors de l'embarquement des automobiles, être pivoté autour de cet axe de rotation pour permettre la circulation tant des automobiles que du préposé au chargement qui, après avoir conduit les automobiles sur les plateformes, doit les immobiliser avec des cales qu'il place de part et d'autre des roues.To protect the automobiles placed on these transport vehicles, in particular from acts of vandalism, it is known to equip these vehicles with fixed side walls and with a cover (DE-A-1.218.491) which, essentially covering the upper platform, is articulated around an axis adjoining one of its longitudinal edges so as to be able, when boarding the cars, to be pivoted around this axis of rotation to allow movement of both the cars and the loadman who, after driving the cars on the platforms, must immobilize them with chocks which he places on either side of the wheels.
On connaît également des wagons (EP-A-438.701, DE- 923.669 et FR-A-1.451.558) dont le capot se prolonge vers le bas du véhicules intégrant ainsi les parois latérales.Wagons are also known (EP-A-438,701, DE-923,669 and FR-A-1,451,558), the hood of which extends downwards from the vehicle, thus integrating the side walls.
Ces capots sont, avec le châssis du véhicule, pourvus de moyens de manoeuvre en vue de les déplacer.
Dans ces réalisations connues, la manoeuvre du capot et des plateformes est totalement indépendante de sorte qu'il est nécessaire de respecter une procédure, c'est à dire qu'il faut lever le capot avant de lever les plateformes et inversement sous peine de provoquer des accidents.These covers are, with the chassis of the vehicle, provided with maneuvering means in order to move them. In these known embodiments, the maneuvering of the cover and the platforms is completely independent so that it is necessary to follow a procedure, that is to say that the cover must be lifted before lifting the platforms and vice versa under penalty of causing accidents.
Un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est un véhicule du type précité qui remédie aux inconvénients précités. A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un véhicule de transport comprenant deux plateformes superposées appelées inférieure et supérieure qui, au moins pour l'une d'elles, est au moins localement mobile, des moyens de levage des parties mobiles des plateformes, un capot avec une section transversale sensiblement en forme de U inversé, des moyens de manoeuvre du capot en vue de le lever, ces moyens de manoeuvre comprenant en outre des moyens de déplacement du capot et des moyens de guidage, ce véhicule étant caractérisé en ce que le capot est associé au moins indirectement aux parties mobiles des plateformes par des moyens de transmission en vue de commander le déplacement des parties mobiles des plateformes en fonction du déplacement du capot.One of the results which the invention aims to obtain is a vehicle of the aforementioned type which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. To this end, the invention relates to a transport vehicle comprising two superposed platforms called lower and upper which, at least for one of them, is at least locally mobile, means for lifting the mobile parts of the platforms, a cover with a cross section substantially in the shape of an inverted U, means for maneuvering the cover in order to lift it, these maneuvering means further comprising means for moving the cover and guide means, this vehicle being characterized in that the cover is associated at least indirectly with the mobile parts of the platforms by transmission means with a view to controlling the movement of the mobile parts of the platforms as a function of the movement of the cover.

Ce véhicule de transport comprend deux plateformes 2, 3 superposées appelées inférieure 2 et supérieure 3 qui, au moins pour l'une d'elles est au moins localement mobile, un capot 4 avec une section transversale sensiblement en forme de U inversé qui, de préférence, couvre sensiblement en totalité les côtés 5, 6 latéraux du véhicule, des moyens 10 de levage des parties mobiles des plateformes et des moyens 7 de manoeuvre du capot en vue de le lever d'une hauteur prédéterminée par rapport à un plan P de référence tel la surface sur laquelle circule le véhicule, ces moyens de manoeuvre comprenant en outre des moyens de déplacement du capot et des moyens de guidage.- Figure 3: a view of a detail of an embodiment of a transport vehicle. Referring to the drawing, we see a vehicle 1 intended in particular for the transport of automobiles (not shown) in particular but not exclusively on the railway networks. This transport vehicle comprises two superimposed platforms 2, 3 called lower 2 and upper 3 which, at least for one of them is at least locally mobile, a cover 4 with a cross section substantially in the shape of an inverted U which, from preferably, covers substantially entirely the lateral sides 5, 6 of the vehicle, means 10 for lifting the movable parts of the platforms and means 7 for maneuvering the hood in order to lift it from a predetermined height relative to a plane P of reference such as the surface on which the vehicle travels, these maneuvering means further comprising hood displacement means and guide means.
La section transversale de ces véhicules de transport s'inscrit dans les limites d'un gabarit imposé par le pays dans lequel circule le véhicule.The cross section of these transport vehicles is within the limits of a template imposed by the country in which the vehicle is traveling.
Ainsi, la hauteur et la largeur du véhicule chargé ne doivent pas excéder des valeurs maximales préétablies.Thus, the height and width of the loaded vehicle must not exceed preset maximum values.
Notamment, dans le cas d'un capot 4 intégrant les parois latérales du véhicule, les bords 8, 9 inférieurs du capot se situent sensiblement à la même hauteur que la plateforme inférieure.In particular, in the case of a cover 4 incorporating the side walls of the vehicle, the lower edges 8, 9 of the cover are situated substantially at the same height as the lower platform.
Les parties mobiles des plateformes sont de préférence articulées autour d'un axe horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule de transport. Selon l'invention, le capot 4 est associé au moins indirectement aux parties mobiles des plateformes 2, 3 par des moyens 15, 16 de transmission en vue de commander le déplacement des parties mobiles des plateformes en fonction du déplacement du capot. Selon l'invention, la partie mobile d'au moins la plateforme supérieure 3 est associée au moins indirectement aux moyens de déplacement 7a du capot par des moyens 16 de liaison, lesquels moyens 16 de liaison commandent son déplacement synchronisé avec le capot 4 uniquement au delà d'une fraction prédéterminée du parcours ascentionnel du dit capot.The movable parts of the platforms are preferably articulated around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the transport vehicle. According to the invention, the cover 4 is associated at least indirectly with the mobile parts of the platforms 2, 3 by transmission means 15, 16 in order to control the movement of the mobile parts of the platforms as a function of the movement of the cover. According to the invention, the movable part of at least the upper platform 3 is associated at least indirectly with the means of displacement 7a of the cover by means 16 of connection, which means 16 of connection control its movement synchronized with the cover 4 only at beyond a predetermined fraction of the upward path of said hood.
C'est en fonction de la position en hauteur du capot que se commande le déplacement des plateformes.
Selon l'invention, les moyens 16 de liaison comprennent au moins une butée 16a mobile au moins indirectement solidaire en translation du capot sur au moins une fraction de son déplacement, laquelle butée mobile 16a coopère avec une surface d'appui fixe 16b de la plateforme mobile supérieure 3 pour l'entrainer dans sa montée lorsque cette butée mobile 16a s'est élevée d'une hauteur prédéterminée.It is according to the position in height of the hood that the movement of the platforms is controlled. According to the invention, the connecting means 16 comprise at least one movable stop 16a at least indirectly secured in translation of the cover over at least a fraction of its movement, which movable stop 16a cooperates with a fixed bearing surface 16b of the platform upper mobile 3 to drive it in its ascent when this mobile stop 16a has risen by a predetermined height.
Selon l'invention, lorsque la plateforme inférieure 2 est au moins localement mobile, celle-ci est reliée à la plateforme supérieure 3 par des moyens 17 d'association interposés entre un point fixe 18 de la plateforme supérieure et un point fixe 19 de la plateforme inférieure, lesquels moyens 17 d'association permettent dans la première phase de la montée de la plateforme supérieure un éloignement de celle-ci par rapport à la plateforme inférieure puis maintiennent un écarte ent constant entre les deux points fixes pendant le reste de la montée.According to the invention, when the lower platform 2 is at least locally mobile, the latter is connected to the upper platform 3 by means 17 of association interposed between a fixed point 18 of the upper platform and a fixed point 19 of the lower platform, which means 17 of association allow in the first phase of the rise of the upper platform a distance of the latter relative to the lower platform then maintain a constant gap between the two fixed points during the rest of the climb .
Selon l'invention, les moyens 17 d'association comprennent au moins une bretelle 17a dont l'une des extrémités est associée à la plateforme supérieure 3 et dont l'autre extrémité est pourvue d'une lumière 17b allongée dans laquelle est engagé un tourillon 17c porté par la plateforme inférieure. Dans une forme préférée, le moyen 7a de déplacement du capot comprend au moins un vérin à vis 7a qui entraine en translation verticale, d'une part, le capot et, d'autre part, la butée mobile.According to the invention, the means 17 for association comprise at least one strap 17a, one of the ends of which is associated with the upper platform 3 and the other end of which is provided with an elongated opening 17b in which a pin is engaged 17c carried by the lower platform. In a preferred form, the means 7a for moving the cover comprises at least one screw jack 7a which drives in vertical translation, on the one hand, the cover and, on the other hand, the movable stop.
Ces dispositions techniques permettent de commander la manoeuvre du capot et des plateformes mobiles selon un ordre prédéterminé sans risque de fausse manoeuvre et supprime la nécessité de prévoir des moyens moteurs indépendants pour le capot et pour les parties mobiles des plateformes. Selon l'invention, d'une part, le capot 4 est monobloc et, d'autre part, les moyens 7 de manoeuvre du capot comprennent :
- des moyens de déplacement 7a et de guidage 7b en translation des côtés du capot selon une direction D sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de référence,These technical provisions make it possible to control the operation of the cover and of the mobile platforms in a predetermined order without the risk of false operation and eliminates the need to provide independent motor means for the cover and for the mobile parts of the platforms. According to the invention, on the one hand, the cover 4 is in one piece and, on the other hand, the means 7 for operating the cover comprise: displacement means 7a and guide 7b in translation of the sides of the cover in a direction D substantially perpendicular to the reference plane,
- des moyens il de synchronisation des moyens de déplacement des côtés du capot à lever, les dits moyens 7a,means il for synchronizing means for moving the sides of the cover to be lifted, said means 7a,
7b de guidage et de déplacement étant aptes à déplacer le capot sur une amplitude au moins égale à la distance mesurée entre les deux plateformes 2, 3 au moins lorsque celles-ci sont placées en position de transport. Avantageusement, au moins localement l'amplitude de déplacement en hauteur du capot est égale à la distance X séparant les deux plateformes 2, 3 majorée d'une hauteur supplémentaire Y prédéterminée pour permettre, par exemple, de placer de l'extérieur du véhicule des cales (non représentées) sous certaines des roues des automobiles à transporter.7b for guidance and movement being able to move the cover over an amplitude at least equal to the distance measured between the two platforms 2, 3 at least when the latter are placed in the transport position. Advantageously, at least locally the amplitude of displacement in height of the hood is equal to the distance X separating the two platforms 2, 3 increased by an additional predetermined height Y to allow, for example, to place from the outside of the vehicle chocks (not shown) under some of the wheels of the automobiles to be transported.
Par exemple, cette hauteur supplémentaire Y sera de l'ordre de quatre cents millimètres.For example, this additional height Y will be of the order of four hundred millimeters.
Cette disposition permet d'évacuer tant les gaz d'échappement de la plateforme inférieure que de la plateforme supérieure.This arrangement makes it possible to evacuate both the exhaust gases from the lower platform and from the upper platform.
Egalement, les cales destinées à immobiliser les automobiles peuvent être posées à l'extérieur du véhicule.Also, the wedges intended to immobilize automobiles can be placed outside the vehicle.
Avantageusement, le bord inférieur 8, 9 du capot 4 présente au moins localement une gorge qui, dans la position la plus basse du capot, coiffe une nervure 13 que porte indirectement le châssis du véhicule.Advantageously, the lower edge 8, 9 of the cover 4 has at least locally a groove which, in the lowest position of the cover, covers a rib 13 which is indirectly carried by the chassis of the vehicle.
Cette disposition assure un bon calage du capot lorsque le véhicule circulant est soumis à des ondes de choc, par exemple, lors des croisements de trains ou de la circulation dans des tunnels.This arrangement ensures a good setting of the hood when the traveling vehicle is subjected to shock waves, for example, during train crossings or traffic in tunnels.
On obtient ainsi un véhicule de transport d'automobiles pour lequel les manoeuvres du capot et des parties mobiles des plateformes sont regroupées sous une seule commande et qui, également, offre toutes les garanties de sécurité tant pour les automobiles transportées que pour les préposés aux chargements et déchargements des véhicules.
Le capot est constitué d'un matériau léger notamment multicouches comprenant une âme en matériau composite sur laquelle âme est fixée de chaque côté une tôle.
An automobile transport vehicle is thus obtained for which the maneuvers of the hood and of the movable parts of the platforms are grouped under a single command and which also offers all the guarantees of safety both for the vehicles transported and for the loaders. and unloading of vehicles. The cover is made of a light material, in particular multilayer, comprising a core of composite material on which core is fixed on each side a sheet.
