BOXCAR DOOR MECHANISM
20240199093 · 2024-06-20 ·

According to some embodiments, a boxcar door operating system comprises a rotating plate, a first lock bar, and a second lock bar. The rotating plate comprises a first lock bar engagement for engaging and disengaging the first lock bar and a second lock bar engagement for engaging and disengaging the second lock bar. An angular position of the first lock bar engagement with respect to a center of rotation of the rotating plate is different than an angular position of the second lock bar engagement with respect to the center of rotation of the rotating plate such that rotation of the rotating plate engages or disengages the first lock bar at a different time than the second lock bar.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING A MOVEMENT OF AN OBJECT CAUGHT IN A DOOR OF A VEHICLE, AND DETECTION SYSTEM

A device for recognizing a movement of an object caught in a door of a vehicle includes a carrier element, to which a first electrical conductor is fastened. Furthermore, the device includes an elastic object-contact element, to which a second electrical conductor is fastened. The elastic object-contact element is connected to the carrier element such that, when the caught object is pulled in a selected sensing direction, the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor are brought into contact with each other.

The door actuator generally has a receiving structure having a door carriage path; a first coil assembly and a second coil assembly both being mounted to the receiving structure along a common coil assembly plane and being longitudinally spaced from one another along the door carriage path by a spacing distance; and a door carriage being slidingly received by the receiving structure, the door carriage having a plurality of alternate-pole magnets provided along a magnet plane being parallel and spaced apart from the coil assembly plane, the first and second coil assemblies being operable to move the door carriage back and forth between the two ends of the rail.

Method for detecting an obstacle in an access device

A method for state-based maintenance of an access device of a vehicle, in particular of a public transport vehicle, wherein the access device includes a moveable element and an electric drive for moving the moveable element and is attached to the vehicle. The drive is controlled with control signals, wherein actual state signals for describing the state are generated based on a detected state of the access device. The control signals are applied to a physical simulation model for computationally simulating the access device and determining expected target state signals and wherein based on a comparison between the actual state signals and associated target state signals, a maintenance state of the access device is determined. The simulation model is adjusted based on the comparison between the actual state signals and the associated target state signals.

Door suspension device
10035522 · 2018-07-31 · ·

A door suspension device includes a driving-side member, a hanger, an elastic member, pressed door rollers, and linking mechanisms. The driving-side member is displaceable in an opening direction and a closing direction when a drive force is imparted from an opening and closing drive mechanism. The hanger is displaced in conjunction with a displacement of the driving-side member and supports a door. The elastic member allows relative displacements of the driving-side member and the hanger by elastically deforming in accordance with a load that acts between the driving-side member and the hanger. The linking mechanisms convert a relative displacement operation of the driving-side member and the hanger into an operation in which the pressed door rollers are pressed against an upper rail.

20180170405 · 2018-06-21 ·

A plug door opening-closing apparatus, which is adapted for use with a vehicle having a vehicle front-rear direction and a vehicle width direction, includes a door hanger capable of coupling a door panel of the vehicle, a movable guide configured to guide movement of the door hanger in the front-rear direction and move in the width direction, a guide support member that guides movement of the movable guide in the width direction, and an interlock mechanism mechanically connected to the movable guide. The interlock mechanism conforms a movement amount of a first portion of the movable guide to a movement amount of a second portion of the movable guide.

Cabin With Rotatable Cabin Door For A Vehicle
20180148073 · 2018-05-31 ·

A cabin for a vehicle includes a cabin wall having an opening and a door for opening and closing the opening. The door is moved about a rotational point and includes a movable door leaf which has a concentric segment. The cabin wall additionally forms a door stop in the closing direction of the door. The door leaf further has a linear segment with a fixed end and a free end. The linear segment adjoins the concentric segment at the fixed end in the closing direction of the door, and the free end of the linear segment forms a closing edge in the closing direction of the door. The closing edge lies against the door stop when the door is closed. A vehicle including an interior having the cabin is also provided.

VEHICLE
