Description
(1) A plurality of exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following figures, in which:
(2) FIG. 1: shows a detail of a rail vehicle;
(3) FIG. 2: shows a plan view of the detail of FIG. 1;
(4) FIG. 3: shows an inside view with the rail vehicle from FIG. 1;
(5) FIG. 4: shows a first embodiment of a control panel in the operating position;
(6) FIG. 5: shows an alternative inside view of the rail vehicle from FIG. 1;
(7) FIG. 6: shows the view from FIG. 5 with an alternative embodiment of the control panel in an operating position;
(8) FIG. 7: shows an inside view of the rail vehicle from FIG. 1 with an alternative embodiment of the control panel in the operating position.
(9) FIG. 1 shows a detail of a typical configuration of a rail vehicle. Two bodies 1, 1′ face one another each by one of their end faces and are connected to one another by means of a folding bellows 3 at their end walls 10, 10′ (see FIG. 2). They form part of a rail vehicle 100 comprising further bodies 1, 1′. The vehicle body 1 has a second end (not referenced here), which in the present case is formed similarly to the end, shown here, of the vehicle body 1′. The vehicle body 1 is thus arranged on two bogies 2. The vehicle body 1′ is configured accordingly. At least one of the bogies 2 has a drive, whereby autonomous travel with the vehicle body composition 1, 1′ as shown in the present case is possible.
(10) FIG. 2 shows a cropped plan view of the vehicle body composition 1, 1′ from FIG. 1. As explained with reference to FIG. 1, the bodies 1 and 1′ are connected to one another by means of a folding bellows 3. The bodies 1 and 1′ have end walls 10 and 10′ at their end faces, said end walls being arranged opposite one another. Passageways 12 and 12′ for people are formed in the end walls 10 and 10′. The passageways 12 and 12′ are each closed by sliding doors 13 and 13′ respectively. The end walls 10 and 10′ have an end wall trim 11 and 11′, which extend over a depth T in the direction of travel F. The end wall trims 11 and 11′ also have a side wall 111 and 111′. The end wall trims are in the present case arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to a central axis of the rail vehicle 100.
(11) FIG. 3 shows an inside view of the rail vehicle 100 from FIGS. 1 and 2. Two bodies 1 and 1′ are arranged in succession in the direction of travel, and the passageway 12 between the bodies 1 and 1′ is open. Seats 20 are arranged inside the bodies. The seats 20 are arranged inter alia on the end wall trim 11, so that as much passenger capacity as possible is provided in each vehicle body 1 and 1′. A window 21 can also be seen. An end wall trim 11 is arranged on the end wall 10. The end wall trim 11 comprises a side wall 111, in which a control panel 4 (see FIG. 4) is arranged, although only the end plate 40 of said control panel is visible. A locking mechanism 43 is located in the end plate 40. The control panel 4 (FIG. 4) is arranged in a control panel receptacle 41 (FIG. 4) and is shown in the rest position. The control elements are not accessible in the rest position.
(12) FIG. 4 shows the interior according to FIG. 3, wherein the control panel 4 is shown an operating position. Here, the passageway 12 is closed by the sliding door 13. A window 131 in the sliding door 13 is visible. The control panel 4 is pivoted from the rest position (see FIG. 3) into the operating position shown here. More specifically, the control panel 4 has been pivoted out from the control panel receptacle 41. The control panel receptacle 41 is arranged in the side wall of the end wall trim 11 and therefore in the end wall trim 11. The control panel 4 comprises control elements 42. The end plate 40 is pivoted downwardly together with the control panel 4 in the pivot direction P1. For operation of the control panel 4, the operator must adopt a position on the basis of the operating position shown in FIG. 4, which allows the operator to view a route of travel through the window 131 and the connecting door 13. By folding down the control panel 4, a switching element was actuated, which triggered a signal bringing the connecting door into the closed position and/or bypassing or preventing automatic opening of the connecting door. A main controller of the train is additionally bypassed, such that the rail vehicle can be controlled merely with the control panel shown here. Furthermore, no further coaches are coupled in the viewing direction of the operator through the window 131. A sub-composition is thus provided, which can now be shunted.
(13) FIG. 5 shows an alternative configuration of the interior according to FIG. 3 or of the interior of a rail vehicle/vehicle body composition according to FIG. 1. The passageway 12 between two bodies 1, 1′ is open in the present case. A control panel 4 (FIG. 6) is arranged in an end wall trim 11 comprising a side wall 111. The seats 20 are arranged inter alia on the end wall trim 11, such that the greatest possible passenger capacity is provided in the bodies 1 and 1′. Merely the end plate 40 of the control panel 4 is visible. A locking mechanism 43 for locking the control panel 4 is located in the end plate 40. The control panel 4 is located in the present case in a rest position. The control elements are not accessible in the rest position.
(14) FIG. 6 shows the interior according to FIG. 5, wherein the control panel 4 has been pulled out from the side wall 111 of the end wall trim 11 in a linear movement along the arrow P2 and has been brought into an operating position. The vehicle body 1′ has also been decoupled, such that the vehicle body 1 can now be shunted. The functions correspond to those functions for the operating positions as described in FIG. 4 and therefore will not be repeated for the sake of clarity.
(15) FIG. 7 shows the interior according to FIG. 3, wherein the control panel 4 is shown in an alternative embodiment in the operating position. Here, the passageway 12 is closed by the sliding door 13. The control panel 4 is removed from the rest position (see FIG. 3) in the operating position shown here. More specifically, the control panel 4 has been completely removed from the control panel receptacle 41. The control panel receptacle 41 is arranged in the side wall 111 of the end wall trim 11 and thus in the end wall trim 11. The control panel 4 comprises control elements 42. For operation of the control panel 4, the operator can put on the carrying belt and can move freely in the rail vehicle. By removing the control panel 4, a switch element was actuated, which triggered a signal bringing the connecting door into the closed position and/or bypassing or preventing automatic opening of the connecting door. A main controller of the train is additionally bypassed, such that the rail vehicle can be controlled merely by means of the control panel 4 shown here. The control panel 4 communicates with the vehicle controller wirelessly. A sub-composition is produced, which can now be shunted. Seats (not shown) are arranged in the vehicle body so that passengers can also travel in the vehicle.
