Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail vehicles, in particular to an inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing inner roof structure of a railway passenger car mainly consists of a middle roof, side roofs and air conditioner air outlets. The middle roof or side roof is provided with lighting lamps. The lamps adopt unit lamps or lamp strip lamps. The air conditioner air outlets are arranged at hidden parts of the inner roof. The air outlets are communicated with air conditioner air ducts. The air conditioner air ducts are located at the back of the middle roof and are invisible to passengers.

[0003] The existing inner roof structure of a railway passenger car mainly has two types.

[0004] 1) The middle roof adopts a flat structure, and the side roofs adopt circular arc structures. Unit lighting lamps and air conditioner air outlets are installed on the roofs. This structure can meet the requirements of decoration, lighting and ventilation. However, the visual effect is general because of the unit lighting lamps. Multiple lamps need to be arranged to meet the interior illumination. The air outlets also adopt a unit structure and are arranged at different positions in the car. The inner roof structure of this structure is complete in function, but the aesthetic appearance is poor.

[0005] 2) The middle roof adopts a large circular arc structure, and the side roofs adopt circular arc structures. An elongated strip-shaped lighting lamp is arranged between the middle roof and the side roofs. Hidden ventilation openings are arranged at the lamp. If necessary, the middle roof can also be provided with unit lighting lamps to supplement the interior illumination. This structure is suitable for use when the car height space is sufficient. The aesthetic appearance is good, but the elongated strip-shaped lighting lamp makes the car interior look less spacious. It is more suitable for passenger trains.

[0006] The existing inner roof structure mainly adopts unit lighting lamps or elongated strip lamps. The main reason is that the lampshade in the lamp adopts PC material. The material performance determines that the maximum size of the lighting lamp is about 650mmx950mm. Although there is no limit to the length of the elongated strip lamp, the maximum size in the width direction is about 300mm. The existing structure cannot achieve the visual effect of large-area lighting lamps with smaller size. Moreover, because the air outlet is directly connected with the air duct, the high-speed fresh air in the air duct directly enters the car, which also causes certain negative impact on the riding experience. SUMMARY

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting.

[0008] The technical scheme adopted by the patent to solve its technical problems is: an inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting, characterized in that it comprises: a top skeleton fixed to a vehicle body steel structure, a central lamp fixed below the top skeleton, a ring-shaped lamp decoration plate arranged around the central lamp, and a side roof plate arranged around the lamp decoration plate, the lamp decoration plate has a ring-shaped flow slowing cavity, the flow slowing cavity has spaced apart air inlet gaps at the top and air outlet gaps at the bottom, the air inlet gaps are communicated with the air duct of the vehicle through the top skeleton, the lower part of the lamp decoration plate is provided with air outlets which are in butt joint with the air outlet gaps, and the air outlets are ring-shaped structures.

[0009] Further, the inner end of the side roof plate is hung on the top skeleton through a side roof plate connecting support, and the outer end of the side roof plate is fixed to the side wall of the vehicle, so that the entire inner roof structure forms a closed loop.

[0010] Further, the central lamp comprises a left side lamp and a right side lamp, and a middle partition box is arranged between the left side lamp and the right side lamp and hung on the top skeleton, and the middle partition box is used for shielding the gap between the left side lamp and the right side lamp.

[0011] Further, the top skeleton is a frame structure assembled by a plurality of aluminum profiles, the air duct of the vehicle is sealed and fixed above the top skeleton, and the lamp decoration plate is sealed and fixed below the top skeleton, and the air duct and the top skeleton and the lamp decoration plate and the top skeleton are all sealed by compressed foam.

[0012] In addition, the application also claims to protect the installation method of the above-mentioned inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting, characterized by the following steps:

[0013] Step 1, first install the top skeleton on the vehicle body beam column;

[0014] Step 2, drop the air duct on the skeleton, align the air outlet of the air duct with the air inlet of the top skeleton and seal and fix them;

[0015] Step 3, fix the lamp decoration plate below the top skeleton, seal between the lamp decoration plate and the top skeleton, and ensure that the air inlet gaps of the flow slowing cavity of the lamp decoration plate are communicated with the air duct;

[0016] Step 4, the outer ends of the left side lamp and the right side lamp are respectively inserted into the lamp decoration plate and fixed with the top skeleton;

[0017] Step 5, fix the side roof plate connecting support on the top skeleton, fix the side roof plate with the side roof plate connecting support through fasteners, and fix the outer side of the side roof plate with the side wall;

[0018] Step 6, fix the ring-shaped air outlet below the lamp decoration plate, and press the side roof plate on one side of the air outlet and shield the mounting fasteners of the side roof plate;

[0019] Step 7, install the intermediate partition box under the top skeleton through the fixing support, so that the intermediate partition box blocks the gap between the left lamp and the right lamp.

[0020] The inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting of the application adopts annular cavity design for the lamp decoration plate, and the lamp decoration plate is arranged around the central lamp. The lamp decoration plate is provided with an annular flow slowing cavity, and the flow slowing cavity is communicated with the air duct through the top skeleton. When the high-speed fresh air in the air duct enters the cavity, due to the fact that the fresh air enters the large-volume flow slowing cavity of the lamp decoration plate from the small-volume air duct, according to the reverse reasoning of the "narrow pipe effect", the increase of space will cause the speed of the fresh air flow to decrease, and then the fresh air enters the vehicle through the air outlet through the opening at the bottom of the lamp decoration plate, thereby bringing fresh air to the passengers and not causing discomfort.

[0021] The inner roof structure suitable for large-area lighting of the application is provided with a middle partition box at the gap between the left lamp and the right lamp, which can block the gap, so that the left lamp and the right lamp have the integrity in appearance, so that the originally limited width of 650mm of the lamp presents a doubled effect, the width is about 1300mm, and the visual sense of large-area lighting is realized.

[0022] The application sets a flow slowing cavity in the lamp decoration plate, and the flow slowing cavity is part of the ventilation system. The air duct and the lamp decoration plate are fixed through the lamp skeleton, and at the same time, the communication between the air duct and the flow slowing cavity is completed, so that the application simplifies the air duct system and improves the assembly efficiency.
