Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an observation window for a train crew compartment, belonging to the technical field of train window technology. Background Technology
[0002] In existing high-speed trains, the crew compartment and passenger compartment are connected by a door. When crew members need to observe the interior environment and passenger conditions, they must open the door, which is time-consuming and laborious. Some high-speed trains also have windows installed on the side walls between the crew compartment and passenger compartment for easier observation. However, this has the following disadvantages: 1. Exposed installation marks (screws) on the window frames affect the aesthetics of the interior and pose a risk of the window falling off if passengers remove the screws; 2. While it facilitates observation for crew members, passengers can also see into the crew compartment through the windows, compromising privacy. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a train crew compartment observation window, which is installed on the side wall of the crew compartment and the passenger compartment. It has an elegant appearance with no installation traces, and the interface requirements of the side wall (window) are simple and uncomplicated. It allows the crew to observe the situation in the passenger compartment through the observation window glass of the crew compartment, while protecting the crew's privacy, and solves the above-mentioned problems existing in the background technology.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0005] A train crew compartment observation window is installed on the side wall between the crew compartment and the passenger compartment. It includes a window frame, an interior trim frame, decorative strips, screw one, screw two, glass, and sealant. The side wall adjacent to the crew compartment is the crew compartment side wall, and the side adjacent to the passenger compartment is the passenger compartment side wall. The window frame is installed on the side wall adjacent to the passenger compartment, and the interior trim frame is installed on the side wall adjacent to the crew compartment. The glass is installed inside the window frame and sealed with sealant. The side of the window frame near the interior trim frame has a mounting groove. Screw one passes through the bottom of the mounting groove to fix the window frame to the side wall. The window frame and the interior trim frame are arranged inside and outside on adjacent sides and connected and fixed by screw two. The decorative strip consists of an integrally formed strip-shaped shielding strip and an arc-shaped shielding strip. The strip-shaped shielding strip is engaged in the mounting groove and shields screw one, while the arc-shaped shielding strip bends towards the interior trim frame and its rear end abuts against the interior trim frame, shielding screw two.
[0006] Furthermore, the glass is a dimming glass, and the light transmittance of the dimming glass is controlled by a controller connected to a power source.
[0007] The aforementioned dimming glass is a well-known and commercially available type of glass. Users control the transparency and opacity of the glass by controlling the flow of current, providing privacy. It also offers convenience for flight attendants, allowing them to observe the interior environment and passenger conditions without leaving the cabin, enabling them to take appropriate breaks and maintain a good mental state.
[0008] Furthermore, the window frame is provided with an outer baffle and an inner baffle. The outer baffle is vertically installed on the outer side of the window frame and is closely attached to the side wall of the passenger compartment. The inner baffle is vertically installed at the bottom of the inner side of the window frame. One side of the dimming glass is flush with the outer baffle, and the other side of the dimming glass is parallel to the inner baffle. The dimming glass is bonded with sealant between itself and the inner side of the window frame and the inner baffle.
[0009] Furthermore, the interior frame includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The vertical plate is arranged close to the side wall of the crew compartment. One end of the horizontal plate is connected to the vertical plate, and the other end of the horizontal plate extends towards the window frame and is located inside the window frame. Two screws pass through the horizontal plate, the washer, and the window frame to fix the interior frame and the window frame.
[0010] The advantages of this invention are: the cabin crew observation window has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement. The screws are concealed by decorative strips, making them difficult to spot, and the various components cannot be disassembled or damaged by passengers, ensuring safe use and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The light transmittance of the cabin crew observation window glass is adjustable, providing great convenience for cabin crew. They can observe from the cabin without leaving their quarters while maintaining privacy and taking appropriate rest – achieving both benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0016] See attached document Figure 1-3This embodiment provides a train crew compartment observation window, installed on the side wall between the crew compartment and the passenger compartment. It includes a window frame 1, an interior frame 2, decorative strips 3, screw 4, screw 5, glass 6, and sealant 7. The side wall adjacent to the crew compartment is the crew compartment side wall 8, and the side wall adjacent to the passenger compartment is the passenger compartment side wall 9. The window frame 1 is installed on the side adjacent to the passenger compartment side wall 9, the interior frame 2 is installed on the side adjacent to the crew compartment side wall 8, and the glass 6 is installed inside the window frame 1 and sealed with sealant. 7. The window frame 1 is provided with a mounting groove 13 on the side near the interior frame 2. Screw 4 passes through the bottom of the mounting groove 13 to fix the window frame 1 to the side wall. The window frame 1 and the interior frame 2 are arranged inside and outside on adjacent sides and are connected and fixed by screw 5. The decorative strip 3 is composed of an integrally formed strip-shaped shielding strip 301 and an arc-shaped shielding strip 302. The strip-shaped shielding strip 301 is stuck on the mounting groove 13 and shields screw 4. The arc-shaped shielding strip 302 bends towards the interior frame 2 and its rear end abuts against the interior frame 2 to shield screw 5.
[0017] Preferably, the glass is a dimming glass 6, and the light transmittance of the dimming glass 6 is controlled by a controller 10, which is connected to a power supply 11.
[0018] See attached document Figure 2 The window frame 1 is provided with an outer baffle 101 and an inner baffle 102. The outer baffle 101 is vertically installed on the outer side of the window frame 1 and is arranged close to the passenger compartment side wall 9 to limit the window frame 1.

[0022] The crew compartment observation window is simple in design and quick to install. The interface requirements for the side wall (window) are simple and uncomplicated; the side wall only needs a rectangular window with rounded corners, which is easy to manufacture and implement, requiring no additional reinforcing angle irons or type B metal beams. When assembling the glass and window frame, only sealant is needed to bond the glass to the frame; various adhesive strips and other auxiliary parts are no longer required. When installing the window frame and interior trim frame onto the side wall, the window frame (or interior trim frame) can be directly connected from the passenger compartment (or crew compartment). Figure 2 As shown, it is fixed to the side wall with wood screw one and wood screw two. No need to drill holes or apply sealant in advance. The installation is simple, convenient and quick.
[0023] In this embodiment, the decorative strip 3 is made of rubber, which has good elasticity. It is installed in the mounting groove 13 on the window frame, and the mounting groove 13 is a U-shaped groove that opens inward. The base of the decorative strip 3 is a strip-shaped shielding strip 301, which conceals the screw 4. The tip of the decorative strip 3 is an arc-shaped shielding strip 302, which conceals the screw 5. There are no installation marks from either the crew compartment or the passenger compartment, and the appearance is beautiful, elegant, and appropriate.
[0024] In this embodiment, the glass of the cabin observation window is made of intelligent and technologically advanced dimming glass 6. The purpose of glass is generally to allow light to pass through, but the cabin observation window glass, in addition to this function, can also adjust the light transmittance of the glass and block the entry or exit of external light. It is controlled by a controller and a remote control, that is, the glass changes from a transparent state to a frosted (opaque) state to protect the privacy of the cabin crew and replaces the traditional curtains.
