Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a soft-berth sleeper device and a carriage, belonging to the technical field of the interior decoration system design of railway passenger cars. Background Art

[0002] Most of the existing soft-berth sleeper devices of railway passenger cars are of independent structures, which can be divided into conventional soft-berth sleeper devices and EMU sleepers. Among them, the conventional soft-berth sleeper device is located on one side of the corridor and consists of a support, a sleeper skeleton, a backing plate, cushioning materials, a railing and a covering cloth, and is of a flat structure. The sleeper device is placed in a compartment arranged relying on a partition wall. The space inside and outside the compartment is isolated by the partition wall. The backing plate is placed on the sleeper skeleton, the cushioning materials are placed on the backing plate, the railing is fixed on the sleeper skeleton by fasteners, and then the whole is covered with the covering cloth. Finally, the sleeper support located under the sleeper device is installed to fix the sleeper device. The sleeper support is visible, and the function requirements of setting a luggage rack or a luggage platform above the corridor can be realized; for the EMU sleeper, a unitary design is adopted and it is located on both sides of the corridor. Each sleeper unit is connected front and back and longitudinally arranged, and can be divided into an inner bed and an outer bed, with a partition between them. At the same time, the inner bed and the outer bed can be further divided into upper and lower berths. The berth is provided with devices such as a bar, an armrest, a lighting fixture, a socket, etc., and a curtain is provided to enhance privacy. This structure cannot set a luggage rack or a luggage platform at the corridor.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned soft-berth sleeper devices have the following defects. For the conventional soft-berth sleeper device, since the sleeper device itself is of a flat structure, it is difficult to integrate other functions except providing the lying function for passengers. The additional functions required by passengers need to be set on the partition wall and the side wall. Currently, reading lights, storage racks, coat hooks, armrests, etc. are often provided. The air-conditioning system is mixed in one compartment and cannot be used for single-person and single-compartment. For the EMU sleeper, due to the improvement of the carrying capacity, there is partial overlap in the unitary design of the inner bed and the outer bed. That is, a part of the leg space of the passengers in the first compartment is used as the bar of the second compartment. For passengers, the width space of the head and legs is about half of the shoulder space, which is not friendly to passengers who need loose space. Moreover, the sleeper device is located on both sides of the corridor, and only a curtain is used for isolation. Although the privacy is enhanced, the noise outside the sleeper device cannot be effectively reduced. Coupled with the corridor being in the middle, a luggage rack or a luggage platform cannot be set. For passengers carrying large luggage, they may only place the luggage in the space between the lower berth and the floor, and there may be a situation of insufficient luggage storage space.

[0004] It can be seen that in order to solve the above technical problems and improve the privacy and comfort of passengers during the journey, there is an urgent need for a soft-berth sleeper device and a carriage. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a soft-sleeper device, including a sleeper skeleton 3 welded by aluminum alloy profiles, an outer baffle, and a top plate 9 and a cushion plate 4 respectively fixed to the top side and the bottom side of the sleeper skeleton 3;

[0033] An air outlet 16 is provided above the sleeper skeleton 3 for accessing fresh air from the air conditioning system;

[0034] Both the outer baffle and the top plate 9 are made of light composite materials, and a sound-absorbing layer 18 is laid on the surfaces of both the outer baffle and the top plate 9;

[0035] The outer baffle surrounds the four sides of the sleeper skeleton 3, and one side is left for passengers to enter and exit. An insert is provided inside the outer baffle for installing functional devices, where the functional devices at least include a lighting system.

[0036] In the above technical solution, by adopting lightweight composite materials and aluminum alloy profiles as the materials of outer panels and frames, the lightweight of the sleeper equipment can be achieved; in order to meet the basic functional requirements of the sleeper equipment, retractable barrier curtains are also provided on the passenger entry and exit sides to ensure the privacy of the passengers; the air outlet 16 is connected to the air-conditioning system to provide separate air-conditioning supply for the passengers in the sleeper equipment to improve the riding comfort of the passengers; the lighting system consists of a left light strip and a right light strip, which can meet the lighting usage requirements of sitting and lying states respectively; by laying sound-absorbing layers 18 on each side, the noise in the sleeper equipment can be effectively reduced. At the same time, since the adjacent sleeper equipment on the left and right are arranged back to back, the sound-absorbing layers 18 at the adjacent sleeper equipment overlap and overlap at the contact point, which can further increase the sound absorption and sound insulation effect between the sleeper equipment.

[0037] In some embodiments, in order to fix the berth equipment on the side to prevent the berth equipment from being displaced when the train is in operation, a side connection mechanism 10 is also included, and the side connection mechanism 10 is installed on both sides of the berth frame 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, the outer baffle includes a side baffle 6, a left baffle 7 and a right baffle 8, wherein the side baffle 6 is fixed to the berth frame 3. In order to facilitate the inspection of the side connection mechanism 10 on both sides of the berth equipment, the left baffle 7 and the right baffle 8 are detachably connected to the berth frame 3, and the disassembly screws are located under the mat and inside the lighting lampshade, and are not visible to passengers when using the berth normally.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order to meet the basic usage needs of passengers, the functional equipment also includes a folding table 11, a cushion 12, a switch 13 and a socket 14, wherein the folding table 11, the switch 13 and the socket 14 are installed on the inner side of the side panel 6, and the cushion 12 is installed on the inner side of the left side panel 7; but not limited to this, other functional equipment can be added according to actual needs, and each berth device is equipped with the same functional equipment to avoid the situation where two or more passengers use the same functional equipment, further improving passenger privacy and comfort; wherein, the cushion 12 is used as a backrest when the passenger is sitting, and polyester elastomer is used as the main cushion material, which fits the curve of the human body and improves comfort. At the same time, the existing berth device cushion material can still be used, and the use of any cushion material will not affect the actual installation interface.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the discomfort caused by the fresh air blowing directly onto the human body, the air outlet 16 is directed horizontally toward the side baffle 6, so that the fresh air enters from the air outlet 16 and blows horizontally toward the side baffle 6, and then slowly diffuses from top to bottom into the entire berth device.

[0041] In some embodiments, to achieve the connection of the soft-berth sleeper devices between the upper and lower berths, there are also a mating boss and groove, which are respectively arranged on the bottom side and the top side of the sleeper framework 3, and the upper and lower berths can be mutually limited by the boss and the groove.

[0042] In some embodiments, to fix the sleeper device to the roof member, there are also a top connection structure 17 and an inspection opening 15. The top connection structure 17 is installed on both sides of the top end of the sleeper framework 3.

[0043] The inspection opening 15 is opened on one side of the top plate 9, and an inspection door panel is arranged at the inspection opening 15 for inspecting the top connection structure 17. Among them, the top connection structure 17 can adopt traditional bolt rigid connection or flexible stainless steel wire rope hanging connection. However, it should be noted that the connection method of the side connection mechanism 10 depends on the connection method of the top connection structure 17. For example, if the top connection structure 17 adopts traditional bolt rigid connection, the side connection mechanism 10 also needs to adopt bolt rigid connection. Another example is that if the top connection structure 17 adopts flexible stainless steel wire rope hanging connection, the side connection mechanism 10 needs to adopt a limiting mechanism to prevent the sleeper device from shaking. The limiting mechanism consists of a limiting seat and a screw rod. When the sleeper device is fixed in place, the screw rod is tightened until it abuts against the limiting seat. At this time, the vertical force of the sleeper device is borne by the stainless steel wire rope, and the limiting mechanism only bears the shaking force in the horizontal plane direction, which can ensure the overall stability.

[0044] The inspection opening 15 is in the form of a flip door and is fixed by a lock. A spring clip is provided at the lock tongue of the lock. The spring clip can hold the inspection door panel so that it does not come off. When unlocking is required, the spring clip is poked open through a small round hole with a diameter of 4 - 5 mm, and the inspection door panel can be opened. The lock surface does not expose the lock head, and only a small round hole with a diameter of about 4 - 5 mm can be seen, which can improve the aesthetic effect inside the sleeper.

[0045] In some embodiments, to facilitate the climbing of the upper berth or prevent the lower berth from falling over, there is also a railing 5, and the railing 5 is fixed to the side of the sleeper framework 3 where passengers enter and exit through fasteners.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, to ensure the comfort of passengers during rest, there is also a cushion material 2 composed of polyester elastomer with a slow - rebound polyurethane laid on the surface, and the outside of the cushion material 2 is wrapped with a covering cloth 1, which is laid above the cushion plate 4.

[0047] In summary, the soft sleeper equipment provided in this embodiment uses existing light composite materials, aluminum profiles, etc. as the main materials, modularizes the functional equipment at the outer baffle to meet the usage functions of sitting and lying postures, and has an independent air conditioner and lighting supply by providing a separate air outlet 16 and lighting system, which can improve the privacy and riding comfort of passengers; the air outlet 16 is horizontally directed towards the side baffle 6, so that the fresh air enters from the air outlet 16 and blows horizontally towards the side baffle 6, and then slowly diffuses from top to bottom throughout the sleeper equipment to avoid discomfort caused by the fresh air blowing directly on the human body; by setting the side connection mechanism 10 and the top connection structure 17, the stability of the sleeper equipment can be ensured during the operation of the train, so as to further improve the riding comfort of passengers.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] This embodiment provides a carriage. By adapting the above-mentioned soft sleeper equipment, the privacy and riding comfort of passengers can be improved. At the same time, since the adjacent sleeper equipment on the left and right are arranged back to back, the sound-absorbing layers 18 at the adjacent sleeper equipment will overlap at the contact points, which can further increase the sound-absorbing and sound-insulating effects between the sleeper equipment.

[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
