Abstract

The invention relates to a high-speed multiple unit 1 with a maximum speed of more than 250km / h, comprising a plurality of car bodies 10, 20, 30, wherein at least one car body 10, 20, 30 is a center-floor car body 10.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a high-speed train with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h, comprising a plurality of car bodies.

[0002] High-speed multiple units in Germany consist of a number of individual cars, each mounted on two bogies. For vehicles designed for speeds above 250 km / h, the traction equipment, along with the traction bogies, is located under the floor, which has previously necessitated high-floor car bodies with a floor height of 1200 mm to 1250 mm.

[0003] High-speed rail services in Germany are characterized by the fact that trains with floors 1200-1250 mm high stop at platforms 760 mm high. This means passengers have to overcome two steps when boarding and alighting. Wheelchair users must be assisted by staff and transported using a platform lift either on the train or one provided at the station. Independent boarding for wheelchair users is not yet possible on high-speed trains (over 250 km / h).

[0004] Passengers have to climb two steps to board and alight. This takes time during passenger exchange and is difficult for elderly people or those with luggage. Wheelchair users require staff assistance and cannot board independently or travel spontaneously because they have to request assistance in advance.

[0005] Based on this, the invention aims to provide a high-speed train that enables improved boarding.

[0006] This problem is solved by the high-speed train of claim 1.

[0007] Advantageous designs and further developments are the subject of the respective sub-claims.

[0008] According to the invention, a high-speed multiple unit train with a maximum speed of more than 250 km / h is provided. The high-speed multiple unit train comprises a plurality of car bodies, wherein at least one car body is a center-floor car body.

[0009] Preferably, the maximum speed is more than 280 km / h, more preferably more than 300 km / h, and in particular more than 330 km / h.

[0010] The medium-floor car body has a floor height that is lower than the floor height of a previous high-floor car body (e.g., 1200mm to 1250mm).

[0011] The design according to the invention makes it possible for a large part of the high-speed train according to the invention to have a center-floor car body, which allows simplified entry via a smaller height difference to the platform.

[0012] Furthermore, in the area of ​​the mid-floor car bodies it is possible to arrange traction equipment in the underfloor area, so that a high-speed multiple unit can be provided which has a maximum speed of more than 250km / h, preferably more than 280km / h, and further preferably more than 300km / h, in particular more than 330km / h.

[0013] Previously, it was not possible to provide autonomous boarding for people with reduced mobility at such speeds. The higher the maximum speed of a high-speed train, the greater the conflict between low-level boarding and high speed, which is resolved by the invention.

[0014] By using center-floor car bodies and the resulting lowering of the vehicle structure compared to previous high-speed trains, it is achieved that boarding is no longer two-step but at most one-step.

[0015] By using center-floor car bodies, it is possible, for example, to arrange certain assemblies below the floor in the underfloor area, while at the same time having only small height differences between the center-floor area and existing platforms.

[0016] This design ensures that a large part of the high-speed train can be built according to the previously common design of a high-speed train with distributed traction.

[0017] The design of the high-speed train may include at least one car body, a low-floor entry car body with at least one low-floor area and at least one low-floor entry.

[0018] This creates a level entry at the platform edge, making it possible for passengers with reduced mobility (e.g. wheelchair users, strollers, bicycles, etc.) to board comfortably and independently.

[0019] At the same time, however, only slight differences in height are formed between the middle floor area and the low floor area.

[0020] The low-floor entry car body has the lowest floor height of the high-speed train according to the invention.

[0021] The medium-floor car body is a car body that has a floor height that is higher than the floor height of a low-floor entry car body.

[0022] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed multiple unit, it can be provided that at least one center-floor car body, preferably two center-floor car bodies, is / are an end car body.

[0023] This results in the end car bodies being designed in a center-floor construction, making it possible to integrate them into a center-floor area.

[0024] In the design of the high-speed train, it may be provided that each car body has two, preferably terminal, bogies.

[0025] Accordingly, in the case of end bogies, each car body has two of its own bogies, which are assigned to exactly one car body.

[0026] This makes it possible to achieve high wheel loads, since each car body has two separate bogies and correspondingly longer car bodies can be used, compared to Jacobs bogies.

[0027] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed train, it may be provided that at least one center-floor car body has at least one center-floor entrance with a single step.

[0028] The single-step boarding system, combined with level boarding, significantly increases passenger exchange speed. This improves boarding comfort, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction. Both of these factors increase the efficiency of the high-speed train. Furthermore, the system addresses the legal requirement for greater inclusion by enabling fully autonomous boarding of the PRM (Passenger Mobility Merge) trains.

[0029] In the design of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the at least one center-floor car body has a floor height of 950mm to 1130mm, preferably of 1000mm to 1130mm, and further preferably of 1070mm to 1130mm, in particular of 1100mm.

[0030] This makes it possible to provide only a single step to overcome a height difference between the platform and the central floor entrance.

[0031] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the low-floor entry car body has at least one central floor area, with a ramp formed between the low-floor area and the central floor area.

[0032] This makes it possible to connect at least one low-floor area to the middle-floor area using ramps with a slight incline, so that it is easily accessible for people with mobility impairments.

[0033] The ramps that bridge the height difference are designed in accordance with TSI PRM (Technical Specification for Interoperability for “Persons with Reduced Mobility”).

[0034] Where necessary, these ramps are so shallow that they can be used by wheelchair users.

[0035] In the design of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the at least one low-floor entry car body has a floor height of 760mm to 900mm, preferably 810mm to 900mm, and more preferably 830mm to 880mm in the low-floor area and / or a floor height in the middle-floor area of ​​950mm to 1130mm, preferably 1000mm to 1130mm, and more preferably 1070mm to 1130mm, in particular 1100mm.

[0036] This makes it possible to provide only a single step to overcome a height difference between the platform and the mid-floor entrance, and to provide no step to overcome a height difference between the platform and the low-floor entrance carriage.

[0037] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the low-floor entrance has a door sill height of 750mm to 870mm, preferably 780mm to 840mm, and further preferably 800-820mm.

[0038] This eliminates the need for a step to bridge the height difference between the platform and the low-floor entry carriage.

[0039] In the design of the high-speed multiple unit, it can be provided that the high-speed multiple unit has a plurality of traction bogies, wherein the traction bogies are arranged, preferably exclusively, on the at least one center-floor car body.

[0040] This eliminates the need for corresponding adaptations to car bodies that differ from mid-floor car bodies (such as low-floor entry car bodies).

[0041] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the high-speed train has a plurality of running bogies, with running bogies being arranged on the at least one low-floor entrance car body.

[0042] This ensures that no traction bogies, such as traction motors, are located under the low-floor entry car bodies.

[0043] In the design of the high-speed train, it may be provided that at least one low-floor entrance car body is free of traction bogies.

[0044] If a car body is free of traction bogies, the floor height of the car body can be designed lower than if the car body has a traction bogie.

[0045] In particular, the traction motors in the traction bogies have correspondingly large diameters to achieve the required power output, necessitating large wheels. The idea now is to arrange the traction equipment in the center-floor car bodies in such a way that the underfloor area of ​​the low-floor entry car bodies is free of traction bogies, allowing the floor to be lowered by using unpowered bogies with smaller wheels.

[0046] Preferably, the traction bogies are arranged exclusively on the at least one center-floor car body.

[0047] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed multiple unit, it may be provided that, in addition to at least one center-floor car body with traction bogies, it has at least one center-floor car body with running bogies.

[0048] In the embodiment of the high-speed multiple unit, it can be provided that the high-speed multiple unit has a plurality of, preferably underfloor, traction units, wherein the, preferably underfloor, traction units are arranged on the at least one center-floor car body and / or the at least one low-floor entrance car body is free of, preferably underfloor, traction units.

[0049] If a car body is free of underfloor traction units, the floor height of the car body can be designed lower than if a car body has an underfloor traction unit.

[0050] Traction units include, for example, transformers and / or power converters.

[0051] In the design of the high-speed multiple unit, it may be provided that a mid-floor car body with traction units is arranged adjacent to a mid-floor car body with traction bogies.

[0052] This ensures that the traction units are located in close proximity to the traction bogies.

[0053] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed multiple unit, it can be provided that at least one center-floor car body with traction units is free of traction bogies.

[0054] This ensures that sufficient installation space is available to arrange the other required components or assemblies of the mid-floor car body in the underfloor area, in addition to the traction units.

[0055] In the design of the high-speed train, it may be provided that at least one end car body, preferably the two end car bodies, is / are free of traction units and / or traction bogies.

[0056] This ensures that there are fewer space-related restrictions in the design of at least one end car body.

[0057] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed multiple unit, the high-speed multiple unit according to one of the preceding claims is characterized in that the at least one center-floor car body and / or the at least one low-floor entry car body has a bogie center distance of 14000mm to 16800mm, preferably from 14500mm to 16300mm, in particular from 15000mm to 15800mm.

[0058] This provides a bogie center distance that is dimensioned to be suitable for both the mid-floor car body and the low-floor entry car body.

[0059] In the design of the high-speed train, it may be provided that the high-speed train has at least one continuous center floor area extending over at least three, preferably at least four, further preferably at least five, in particular at least six, and further in particular at least seven, center floor carriage sections.

[0060] This design ensures that a large part of the high-speed train can be built in a modified form according to the previously common design of a high-speed train with distributed traction, and that a continuous central floor area is provided for passengers who are not restricted in their mobility, which realizes all the usual comfort features and allows the corresponding division into a first and second class.

[0061] For example, a restaurant car or a car body designed as a meeting place can be located in the central floor area.

[0062] This provides a continuous central floor area, which makes it possible to provide certain comfort features of existing high-speed multiple units.

[0063] Furthermore, a central aisle entrance can be provided in the central aisle area, allowing level access to the floor of the central aisle. This makes it easier to move heavy loads, for example for the on-board restaurant, into the vehicle.

[0064] Furthermore, a central corridor entrance can be provided in the central corridor area, enabling level access to the floor of the central corridor area.

[0065] This makes it possible to move heavy loads, e.g. for the on-board restaurant, into the vehicle as easily as possible.

[0066] In an advantageous further development of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the low-floor area of ​​at least one low-floor entry car has a length that is smaller than the pivot distance of the low-floor entry car.

[0067] This makes it possible to provide a low-floor area without special adjustments to the bogies or car body ends, compared to the bogies and car bodies of the medium-floor cars.

[0068] In the design of the high-speed train, it can be provided that the high-speed train has at least one, preferably two, and preferably three, in particular four, low-floor entry car bodies.

[0069] This design ensures that the high-speed train meets all the requirements of a person with limited mobility, such as a wheelchair user, cyclist or family with children, but at the same time only a small part of the high-speed train will have a low-floor design.

[0070] In a further advantageous development of the high-speed train, at least one low-floor entrance car body has at least one family toilet and / or large-capacity toilet.

[0071] This ensures that the needs of families with children or people with reduced mobility regarding restrooms are met in a separate area. The integration of at least one family restroom and / or large-capacity restroom in at least one low-floor entry carriage is particularly advantageous.

[0072] In its design, the high-speed train has at least one low-floor entry car body and at least one parking space area.

[0073] This ensures that the needs of cyclists and train passengers with bicycles are met in a separate area. The integration of at least one bicycle parking area into at least one low-floor carriage is particularly advantageous.

[0074] In a further advantageous development of the high-speed train, at least one low-floor entry car body has at least one family and toddler area.

[0075] This ensures that the needs of families with children are met in a separate area. The integration of at least one family and toddler area into at least one low-floor entry carriage is particularly advantageous.

[0076] Further development of the high-speed train may include the provision that at least one low-floor entry car body has redundant low-floor entrances in the low-floor area on one side of the low-floor entry car body.

[0077] The high-speed train is preferably a single-level train.

[0078] All heights refer to the level of the track, i.e., the point where the wheels of the high-speed train are in contact with the track.
