Definitions

• the invention relates to a traction head part comprising a cabin having a floor area, a roof and two side walls extending between the floor area and the roof.
• the Switzerlandkopfteil corresponds for example to a head of a railcar train, a control car, or even a locomotive. Accordingly, the cabin may be formed as a train cab, passenger cabin or a combination thereof.
• the Switzerlandkopfteil may additionally comprise a rail drive.
• the Buchkopfteil usually includes a bodyshell structure to which a shaping outer shell is attached.
• the bodyshell structure and the outer shell are structurally separated.
• the bodyshell structure absorbs static loads as well as crash loads, whereas the outer shell is an essential vehicle for design and a key design feature for aerodynamics.
• the shell structure is usually made of welded
• a disadvantage of such Buchkopfteil is that the Wermanteil comprises two substantially independent structures that have functionally separate tasks. This restricts the cab design and reduces your space. The weight of the Werkopfteils, in particular the cabin is increased and makes mounting difficult. In addition, the requirements for strength in the collision must be met.
• the object of the present invention is therefore, starting from a traction head part of the type mentioned, to improve this traction head part in such a way that the forces occurring during a crash are safely absorbed and the cab and the Werkopfteil are easy to assemble and the cabin has a large internal volume.
• a traction head part comprising a car comprising a floor area, a roof and two side walls extending between the floor area and the roof.
• the side walls each have at their head end an A pillar, which is held on the bottom area. From each A-pillar, one side rail each extends into the side walls, with the unit comprising the A-pillar and side member designed to absorb forces in the event of a crash and to guide them into the cab.
• a unit of A-pillar and a longitudinal member is formed in the side walls of the Switzerlandkopfteils, which derives forces in a collision in the cabin. This allows the cab to absorb forces and increase the strength of the traction head part.
• the head end of the pulling head part refers to the end facing away from the train.
• the A-pillar viewed from the top of the head, is the first pillar still extending from the bottom area.
• the side member extends in the side wall.
• the longitudinal member is an integral part of the side wall. More preferably, the A-pillar and / or the longitudinal members are made of aluminum or steel.
• the described traction head part has the advantage that in each case a side wall is formed, which is altogether suitable for absorbing forces occurring in the event of a crash and discharging them into the cabin.
• the cabin as a whole contributes to increasing safety in the event of a collision.
• a usable inner volume of the Buchkopfteils can be increased while maintaining the outer dimensions.
• the design of the side walls with the A-pillar and the side member a simple construction for the side walls is specified, whereby a number of required components is low and can reduce weight and cost.
• the traction head part is designed such that the longitudinal members form an upper edge of the respective side wall.
• the forces can be dissipated into the roof of the cabin, irrespective of the height of an impact point, so that the forces can be distributed over a large area of the cabin.
• the height of the cabin is stabilized, so that people in the cabin are protected in the event of a collision.
• the traction head part is designed such that the cabin is self-supporting.
• Self-supporting here means that wall panels of the cabin are designed and connected so that they increase the strength of the cabin.
• the wall panels may be connected by welding to the floor area, the A-pillar and / or the longitudinal beam, so that there is a load-bearing connection.
• the statements apply accordingly for roof panels.
• the wall and / or roof panels are preferably made of aluminum or steel.
• the thickness of the sheets is preferably chosen so that the sheets can be easily mounted and contribute to the strength of the cabin.
• the outer shell is also able to absorb forces in the event of a collision and divert them into the forest. This further increases safety in the event of a collision.
• the traction head part is designed such that the side walls each have at least one further column, and the longitudinal carrier is in each case connected to the at least one further column.
• the at least one further column improves the stability of the respective side wall and facilitates the attachment of wall panels.
• the wall panels are preferably each attached to two columns, so that they additionally increase the stability of the traction head part, in particular in the longitudinal direction.
• the traction head part is designed such that the longitudinal member is designed in several parts, and in each case at least a part of the longitudinal support extends between two columns.
• the longitudinal member is designed in several parts, and in each case at least a part of the longitudinal support extends between two columns.
• the traction head part is designed such that the longitudinal member is designed as a profile carrier. Due to the profile, the stability of the longitudinal member is increased, in particular in its longitudinal direction. At the same time, the weight of the longitudinal member may be low.
• the traction head part is designed such that the roof comprises at least one cross member, which is held with its ends on the two longitudinal members.
• the cross member causes a transverse reinforcement of the cabin, which may be relevant for example when tipping the Glaskopfteils. Also, forces acting only on one of the A-pillars, by cross member partially in the other side wall, in particular in the side members of the other side wall, transferred and thus be conducted evenly into the cabin.
• the Switzerlandkopfteil is formed such that at least two further columns and a cross member are interconnected.
• the result is a support arch that stabilizes the cross section of the cabin.
• the assembly of a component can increase the stability of the cabin in various aspects as previously described.
• the use of the support very efficient for the assembly of the cab and the towing head.
• the traction head part is designed such that the longitudinal members each have an arc shape and extend upwards from the A-pillar.
• the curve shape is advantageous because it allows on the one hand an aerodynamic design of the Glaskopfteils and on the other hand is well suited to absorb forces during the collision.
• the traction head part is designed such that the longitudinal carrier is in each case embodied integrally with at least one wall plate and / or a roof plate.
• a stable structural unit is formed on which more wall and / or roof panels can be easily attached.
• the longitudinal member with the at least one wall plate and / or roof plate thus forms, on the one hand, a supporting structure which contributes substantially to the stability of the tension head part, in particular in the event of a collision.
• the structural unit formed in this way forms the outer shape of the traction head part without the need for additional shaping components in this area.
• the traction head part is designed such that the cabin is formed as a welded unit. By welding, the cabin can be easily formed while having a high stability. A-pillar, side member and as far as available side panels, roof panels, other columns and cross member can thus form a stable unit.
