Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of passenger rail cars.

State of the art

Passenger railroad cars may include one or more passenger salons equipped with one or more vestibules in which doors leading outward from the carriage open. In general, vestibules contain two doors, each of which opens on the corresponding side of the car, thereby allowing the use of a platform located on one or the other side of the car.

In addition, vestibules are used as walkways and access areas to various vehicle interiors. Tambours can also be used for access to toilets or special storage areas.

Tambours also allow you to find a person who does not have access to any of the salons. Passengers can go out to the vestibules to make calls from their cell phones without disturbing their neighbors, or to remain in this area throughout the trip.

In the case of a car with two levels, it is possible for the vestibule at the lower level to be connected by a staircase to the vestibule at the upper level, which serves as a passenger compartment at the upper level.

Each vestibule, as a rule, is separated by a partition from an adjacent passenger compartment. Thus, the vestibule, which is usually noisy, since it is located at one end of the railway carriage and above the biaxial trolley, is acoustically isolated from the adjacent passenger compartment, and therefore people who are traveling in the cabin are not disturbed by the movement of other people.

The capacity of the vestibule is usually reduced in order to maximize the available space for passenger salons and, therefore, the number of passengers that can be placed in the car during one trip.

The side walls 15, 20 define the interior of the car 10. Each side wall 15, 20 serves to isolate the inside of the car 10 from the outside of the car 10.

The second level 30 is above the first level 25. Among the first level 25 and the second level 30, the first level 25 is the lowest, lowest level, and the second level 30 is the highest, highest level.

Each level 25, 30 is configured to carry passengers. In particular, each level 25, 30 includes a vestibule 35, 40 and a passenger compartment 45, 50.

The first level 25 includes a first vestibule 35, a first saloon 45, toilets 55, a first configurable zone 60 and a first inner partition 62 separating the first vestibule 35 from the first saloon 45.

"Configurable zone" refers to a zone that does not have a fixed function and, therefore, is able to adapt to the needs of the car conductor 10. For example, the configurable zone forms a warehouse.

The second level 30 includes a second vestibule 40, a second compartment 50, a transverse partition 63, and a second inner partition 64 separating the second vestibule 40 from the second compartment 50.

A ladder 32 connects the first vestibule 35 and the second vestibule 40. The ladder 32 is a ladder ascending from the first vestibule 35 to the second vestibule 40. The ladder 32 has a first end 65 located in the first vestibule 35 and a second end 70 located in the second vestibule 40 .

Ladder 32 defines a first direction of the longitudinal direction DL. The first direction is oriented from the first end 65 to the second end 70.

The first vestibule 35 allows passengers to enter the car 10. In particular, the first vestibule 35 is designed so that passengers can pass between the outer part of the car 10 and the first cabin 45. The first vestibule 35 is additionally designed so that passengers can pass between the stairs 32, the first cabin 45, toilets 55 and the first configurable zone 60.

The first vestibule 35 is bounded laterally (in the transverse direction DT) by the first side wall 15 and the second side wall 20.

The first vestibule 35 is limited in the longitudinal direction DL on one side by the first inner partition 62, and on the other side by the toilets 55, the first configurable zone 60 and the stairs 32. For example, the toilets 55, the first configurable zone 60 and the stairs 32 are arranged in the transverse order direction DT.

Railway carriage 10 includes a first outer door 75, a second outer door 80, a first inner door 85, and a first piece of passenger service equipment 87. In addition, in the vestibule 35 there is a second configurable space 90.

The second vestibule 40 is bounded in the longitudinal direction DL by the transverse partition 63 and the second inner partition 64. The second vestibule 40 is bounded laterally (in the transverse direction) by the first side wall 15 and the second side wall 20.

In addition, in the second vestibule 40 there is a third configurable zone 95 and a fourth configurable zone 96.

Each cabin 45, 50 is a passenger cabin, that is, each cabin 45 is designed to carry passengers. In particular, each cabin 45, 50 contains a number of seats 100 for passengers. For example, each cabin 45, 50 contains at least two rows of seats 100, separated from each other by a central passage.

The first configurable zone 60 is designed so that at least one passenger can store at least one item in it. According to the example shown in FIG. 1, the first configurable zone 60 includes a hook for suspending a bicycle. Alternatively, the first configurable area 60 includes a shelf for storing luggage or arranged in the form of a large luggage area, or forms a continuation of the toilets 55.

A first inner partition 62 separates the first vestibule 35 and the first salon 45. The first inner partition 62 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DL.

The transverse partition 63 is a longitudinal wall of the end of the railway car 10. The transverse partition 63 separates the second vestibule 40 from the outside of the car 10. The transverse partition 63 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DL.

The first end 65, the second end 70 and the transverse partition 63 are arranged in this order along the first direction of the longitudinal direction DL. In particular, the transverse partition 63 is located opposite the passenger climbing the stairs 32 from the first vestibule 35 to the second vestibule 40.

The distance measured in the longitudinal direction DL between the first end 70 and the transverse partition 63 is greater than or equal to 500 mm.

The third configurable zone 95 is limited, in the longitudinal direction DL, between the first end 70 and the transverse partition 63.

A fourth configurable zone 96 is delimited in the longitudinal direction DL between the toilets 92 and the transverse partition 63.

The second inner partition 64 separates the second vestibule 40 and the second salon 50. The second inner partition 64 is, for example, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DL.

The first end 65 is the end of the ladder 62 extending into the first vestibule 35. For example, the first end 65 is the lowest rung of the ladder 32.

The second end 70 is the end of the staircase 62 extending into the second vestibule 40. For example, the second end 70 is the highest step of the staircase 32.

The first outer door 75 is located in the first side wall 15.

The term “door” refers to an opening located in a wall or partition that allows passengers to pass through a wall or partition and is provided with at least one movable door to selectively close or open the opening.

The first outer door 75 provides access to the first vestibule 35, that is, the first outer door 75 allows passengers to pass between the outer part of the car 10 and the first vestibule 35. The first outer door 75 has, for example, a rectangular shape.

The first outer door 75 has a center. The center of the first outer door 75 is, for example, the intersection of the diagonals of the first outer door 75.

The second outer door 80 is located in the second side wall 20.

The second outer door 80 provides access to the first vestibule 35, that is, the second outer door 80 allows passengers to pass between the outer part of the car 10 and the first vestibule 35. The second outer door 80 has, for example, a rectangular shape.

The second outer door 80 has a center. The center of the second outer door 80 is, for example, the intersection of the diagonals of the second outer door 80.

The first outer door 75 and the second outer door 80 are offset relative to each other along the longitudinal direction DL. This means that when the observer sees the car 10 from the side, at least part of one of the first outer door 75 and the second outer door 80 is not opposite the other outer door 75, 80.

In other words, the first side door 75 and the second side door 80 are asymmetric with respect to each other with respect to the plane of symmetry PM. Asymmetric means that the orthogonal projections of the first outer door 75 and the second outer door 80 onto the plane of symmetry PM do not match.

In particular, the centers of the first side door 75 and the second side door 80 are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction DL. This means that the distance, called the offset Dd, measured in the longitudinal direction DL between the center of the first outer door 75 and the center of the second outer door 80, is strictly greater than zero.

The offset Dd is preferably greater than or equal to 500 mm.

Among the first outer door 75 and the second outer door 80, the first outer door 75 is closer to the first inner partition 62 along the longitudinal direction DL.

The first inner door 85 allows access to the first passenger compartment 45 from the first vestibule 35. In particular, the first inner door 85 is designed so that passengers can pass between the first vestibule 35 and the first compartment 45. The first inner door 85 is located in the first inner partition 62.

The first part of the equipment 87 for passenger service is the equipment used by the passenger in the carriage 10.

The first piece of passenger service equipment 87 includes at least one seat. In accordance with the example shown in FIG. 1, the first part of the passenger service equipment 87 includes two locations. Alternatively, the first piece of passenger service equipment 87 includes a bench.

Alternatively or optionally, the first part of the passenger service equipment 87 includes a device for automatically dispensing products, for example, automatically dispensing food and / or drinks.

Alternatively or if necessary, the first piece of passenger service equipment 87 includes a waste container. Preferably, the first part of the passenger service equipment 87 may include several waste containers, each of which is intended for various types of waste, for example, recyclable waste or recyclable waste.

The first part of the passenger service equipment 87 is located at least partially in the second configurable zone 90. For example, the first part of the passenger service equipment 87 completely occupies the first functional area 90.

The second configurable zone 90 is essentially a prism of total internal reflection with a triangular base. The second configurable zone 90 is limited by the angle formed by the first inner partition 60 and the second side wall 20, and the vertical plane passing through the point of the second outer door 80 closest to the first inner partition 62, and the point of the first inner door 85 closest to the second side wall 20. If necessary, the second configurable zone 90 includes a device for automatically dispensing products or any other device or areas intended for passengers, such as a passenger congestion area, a working area, a humidifier, a children's area or a telephone area so that passengers can call.

Therefore, the first piece of passenger service equipment 87 is located along the second side wall 20 in the longitudinal direction between the second outer door 80 and the first inner partition 62.

The second inner door 93 is located in the second inner partition 64. The second inner door 93 is designed so that passengers can pass between the second vestibule 40 and the second cabin 50.

The second part of the passenger service equipment 94 is located at least partially in the third configurable zone 95. Thus, the second part of the passenger service equipment 94 is located between the second end 70 and the transverse partition 63.

The second piece of passenger service equipment 94 includes at least one seat. In accordance with the example shown in FIG. 2, the second part of the passenger service equipment 94 includes a bench. Alternatively or if necessary, the second part of the passenger service equipment 94 includes a device for automatically dispensing products or any other device or areas intended for passengers, such as a passenger congestion area, a work area, a humidifier, a zone for children. Alternatively or optionally, the second part of the passenger service equipment 94 includes a waste container.

Four configurable zones 60, 90, 95 and 96 allow you to include configurable and updatable services based on passenger needs, such as food delivery areas, telephone areas, benches, ski or luggage storage areas, or areas for children. The first configurable zone 60 and the fourth configurable zone 96 can also serve as toilet compartments 55, 92, a nursery or urinal.

Owing to its configuration and especially to the offset between the two external doors 75, 80, which allow access to the same first vestibule 45, the car 10 allows the second configurable zone 90 to be free in the first vestibule 45, for example, it allows to include part of the equipment 87 for passenger service.

In addition, the ladder 32 is close to the inner partition 62, and therefore, the distance between the second end 70 and the transverse partition 63 is increased. In addition, part of the passenger service equipment 94 can also be easily integrated into the second vestibule 40 between the second end 70 and the transverse partition 63.

Due to this configuration, parts of the passenger service equipment 87, 94 do not interfere with the passage of passengers through the first vestibule 35 or the second vestibule 40. Therefore, the vestibules 35, 40 are better suited to various types of applications than the well-known vestibules.

Ultimately, this allows you to increase comfort for passengers, especially in the vestibules, and improve access to the car, exit from the car or moving around the car during the trip.
