Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of railway vehicles, and in particular to a sleeper car and a rail vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Sleeper cars, as an important part of long-distance trains, provide passengers with a unique travel experience. However, in traditional longitudinal sleeper cars, the foot space of the berths is often designed to be smaller than the middle and head space. For example, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN105730462B, entitled "Train sleeper room, sleeper unit and EMU hard sleeper", discloses a sleeper unit comprising at least two interconnected train sleeper rooms, wherein the sleeper bodies in the interconnected train sleeper rooms are integrally formed, and adjacent two train sleeper rooms are staggered. The staggered berths result in a small foot space for passengers when resting, which restricts their feet and greatly reduces passenger comfort.

[0003] At the same time, traditional sleeper cars also suffer from insufficient space for movement. Passengers' activities outside of their berths are often limited, and the lack of suitable rest areas prevents passengers from effectively relaxing and resting outside their berths. Some existing design solutions attempt to optimize space utilization within the car through various layouts. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN204623455U discloses a grouped berth layout structure for passenger train sleeper cars. The berths are arranged in two rows along the longitudinal direction of the car, with one end of each row connected to the car side wall. A car aisle is provided between the two rows of berths, and the longitudinal angle between each berth and the car longitudinal direction is acute. The structure is characterized by a structure in which 2 to 5 berths are grouped together, with one to two upper berths positioned above each group along the longitudinal direction of the car. Each group of berths is separated by a space, with seats and stairs leading to the upper berths located in the space. However, these solutions still fail to effectively address the problem of insufficient passenger space, particularly when considering luggage storage and the layout of the sleeper compartments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a sleeper car and a rail vehicle, which solve the technical problems of small foot space in the berths of the sleeper car and insufficient activity space for passengers outside the berths.

[0005] The first aspect of the present invention is to provide a sleeper carriage, comprising a sleeper compartment and an activity area:

[0006] Sleeper compartments are independent compartments distributed longitudinally along the length of the sleeper car and are arranged in a longitudinally asymmetrical manner in the sleeper car. The sleeper compartments are arranged with equal widths. There are two types of sleeper compartments, including first compartments and second compartments:

[0007] The first private rooms are arranged in two rows, and the first private rooms in the two rows are respectively arranged close to the side walls of the sleeper car, and the two adjacent first private rooms on the same side are closely connected;

[0008] There is only one row of second private rooms, the second private rooms are arranged close to any row of the first private rooms, and the second private rooms are arranged in the middle of two adjacent first private rooms;

[0009] The activity area is composed of the space between two adjacent second compartments and the space extending to the aisle. The activity area is provided with flip benches and flip tables for passengers to rest.

[0010] The two rows of first-class compartments in this sleeper car are arranged symmetrically, with adjacent second-class compartments spaced apart, and second-class compartments staggered with their adjacent first-class compartments. By staggering the berths longitudinally, the present invention creates four activity areas within the car. These areas are equipped with flip-top benches and flip-top tables, providing a rest area for passengers. This improves passenger comfort and space outside of their berths, resolving the issue of insufficient space for passengers.

[0011] By setting the sleeper compartments to equal width, the size of the berth foot space in the sleeper compartments is increased, improving the comfort of passengers when resting.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sleeper compartment includes two opposing transverse walls and a longitudinal wall extending along the length of the sleeper compartment. Vertical columns are provided at the corners where the transverse and longitudinal walls meet. These columns are hollow structures, and contain angled air ducts extending along the height of the compartment. By placing the sleeper compartment air ducts within the hollow columns, compared to the prior art method of placing the sleeper compartment air ducts on the compartment side walls, installation efficiency is improved and costs are reduced.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the upright posts are in the form of hollow triangular prisms, which enables the upright posts to be lightweight while still meeting the structural strength requirements of the berth compartment.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sleeper compartment is a double-layer structure, and the sleeper compartment is provided with two berths, namely an upper berth and a lower berth.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, each of the berths is provided with an air outlet connected to the connecting angle air duct.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the air outlet is configured as a grille structure, and the air outlet is provided with an adjustment knob for rotating the grille.

[0017] The head and foot (tail) of each berth are designed with air outlets with adjustable air volume, which improves the uniformity of air supply to the berth and solves the problem of passengers requiring air supply at both the head and the tail of the berth. Passengers can choose to have air outlet at the head or the foot.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the berth is provided with a small flip table for passengers to work or eat. The flip table is also provided with an extension board to increase the usable surface area of ​​the tabletop. The extension board can be connected to the flip table tabletop by sliding or hinged flip connection.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the berth is further provided with a lighting lamp, which is arranged on the wall of the column, and a junction box is provided in the column to accommodate the circuit of the lighting lamp.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sleeper car further includes a light strip, which is arranged on the top of the aisle of the sleeper car and is evenly arranged along the length direction of the sleeper car.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a sliding lumbar support is further provided in the berth. The sliding lumbar support can be adjusted up and down, front and back, and the passenger can adjust the lumbar support according to his or her own needs.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a luggage rack is provided above the activity area, and a tilting bench is provided below the luggage rack. The luggage rack above the activity area not only improves the utilization of the carriage space, but also allows passengers to place their luggage near their berths, eliminating the need to place it near the carriage entrance, thus alleviating the concern of passengers about their luggage being taken by mistake.

[0023] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a rail vehicle including the above-mentioned sleeper car.

[0024] The beneficial effects are:

[0025] The sleeper car of the present invention features a compact structure and comfortable spatial layout. By staggering the berths longitudinally, four activity areas are created within the car. These activity areas are equipped with flip-up benches and flip-up tables, providing passengers with increased comfort and space outside their berths. This addresses the issue of insufficient space for passengers outside their berths. By configuring the berth compartments to have equal widths, the footwell within the berth compartments is increased, enhancing passenger comfort. Compared with traditional sleeper cars, the present invention has added a column structure. In order to make the columns realize lightweight design while meeting the structural strength of the sleeper compartment, the columns are set as hollow triangular prism structures. While improving the structural strength of the columns, the connecting corner air ducts and electrical wiring are arranged inside the hollow columns. On the one hand, this arrangement can realize the rapid modular installation of the car, thereby improving the installation efficiency and installation cost of the car; on the other hand, it can save space for the installation layout of air ducts and electrical wiring in the car, so that more space can be saved in the car for berths and activity space. While ensuring that the capacity of each train remains unchanged, the length and width of the bed can be increased, thereby improving the comfort of passengers when resting in the berth.

[0037] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The sleeper car provided by the present invention is applicable to any existing train model. It aims to address the problems of limited footwells in existing sleeper cars and insufficient space for passengers to move around outside their berths, while ensuring that the passenger capacity is not reduced. This restricts passenger footwells during rest and reduces comfort. The sleeper car provided by the present invention can improve passenger comfort and space for movement both in the berths and outside of them.

[0039] After introducing the basic principles of the present invention, various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The numbers of any elements in the drawings are for illustration only and not for limitation, and any names are for distinction only and do not have any limiting meaning.

[0040] The principles and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 5 The sleeper car shown includes a sleeper compartment 1, an activity area 2, and an air duct. The space between the sleeper compartment 1 in the sleeper car is set as the activity area 2, for passengers to move around and relax inside the car and outside the berth. The air duct is used to provide fresh air to the sleeper compartment 1 and the entire sleeper car.

[0043] The sleeper compartments 1 are arranged longitudinally along the length of the sleeper car. Two types of sleeper compartments 1 are provided: first compartments 11 and second compartments 12. The first compartments 11 are closely spaced from one end of the car to the other, forming two rows of compartments on either side of the car: row A and row B. The rows A and B are arranged symmetrically. In other embodiments, the rows A and B may be arranged asymmetrically. Second compartments 12 are longitudinally spaced apart in the compartments of either Row A or Row B, near the aisle of the sleeper car. In this embodiment, second compartments 12 are spaced apart between two adjacent first compartments 11 in Row A (i.e., closely adjacent to the wall 14 of the first compartments 11), interleaving the second compartments 12 and the first compartments 11. Second compartments 12 are located in only one row within the sleeper car (i.e., the compartments in Row C), resulting in an asymmetrical arrangement of the sleeper compartments 1 within the sleeper car. This asymmetrical longitudinal arrangement of the berths increases the length and width of the berths while ensuring the same passenger capacity per train. Furthermore, the sleeper compartments 1 are arranged in equal widths (i.e., the head and foot spaces are equal in width), improving passenger comfort while resting in their berths.

[0044] The space between the two second compartments 12, plus the space extending to the first compartment 11 across the aisle from the sleeper car, constitutes an activity area 2. Each sleeper car can accommodate four activity areas 2 for passengers. Activity areas 2 are equipped with a flip-up bench 21 and a flip-up table 22, which serve as a resting area for passengers. This improves passenger comfort and space outside of their berths, resolving the issue of insufficient space for passengers to move around. A luggage rack 23 is located above activity area 2, which not only improves the utilization of the car space but also allows passengers to place their luggage near their berths, eliminating the need to place it at the car entrance, thus alleviating the worry of passengers' luggage being taken by mistake.

[0045] The sleeper compartment 1 is configured as a double-layer structure with two berths: an upper berth and a lower berth. In other embodiments, each sleeper compartment 1 can also be configured as a three-layer structure with three berths: an upper berth, a middle berth, and a lower berth. The sleeper compartment 1 includes two opposing transverse walls 13 and a longitudinal wall 14 extending along the length of the sleeper compartment, separating the sleeper compartment 1 from the aisle.

[0046] In order to increase the strength of the main structure of the sleeping compartment 1, a column 15 is provided at the junction of the horizontal wall 13 and the longitudinal wall 14. Figure 2 As shown, the pillars 15 include edge pillars 151 and middle pillars 152 . The edge pillars 151 are pillars arranged at the edge of a sleeping compartment 1 , and the pillars arranged between two adjacent first compartments 11 are middle pillars 152 .

[0047] To achieve modular and rapid installation of the carriage, the sleeper compartment air duct is no longer located on the carriage side wall as in traditional carriages. Instead, the pillars 15 are configured as hollow structures, and the connecting angle air duct 33 of the sleeper compartment is set inside the hollow pillars 15. The connecting angle air duct 33 extends along the height direction of the carriage, and the upper end of the connecting angle air duct 33 is connected to the branch air duct 32.

[0048] The connecting angle air duct 33 provided in the edge column 151 is a one-way air duct, which has an air outlet only on the berth of the sleeper compartment 1 to supply fresh air to the berth in the compartment. The connecting angle air duct 33 provided in the middle column 152 is a multi-directional air duct. Figure 8 As shown, the multi-directional air duct is a three-way air duct, with air outlets provided in three directions, namely, on the bunks of two adjacent first private rooms 11 and on the bunks in the aisle or the adjacent second private room 12. Therefore, it is called a three-way air duct. Of course, in other embodiments, the multi-directional air duct can also be a two-way air duct, with air outlets provided in the bunks of two adjacent first private rooms 11.

[0049] In order to achieve lightweighting of the column 15 while ensuring the structural strength of the hollow column 15, the column 15 is set to a hollow triangular prism shape; the cross section of the edge column 151 is set to a right triangle, and for the sake of beauty and to prevent injuries to passengers, the right angles of the top corners are rounded. The cross section of the middle column 152 is set to an isosceles triangle. As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the connection between the column 15 and the transverse wall 13 and the longitudinal wall 14 is smoothly transitioned with an arc surface. This design is both beautiful and easy to clean. In order to make installation more convenient, a mounting portion is provided at the end of the column 15 for adapting to the transverse wall 13 and the longitudinal wall 14. Therefore, the column 15 is set in a triangular prism-like shape as a whole.

[0050] To address wiring and storage issues within the sleeper compartment 1, a junction box 153 is located within the pillar 15. To meet the personalized lighting needs of different passengers, each berth is equipped with an adjustable-brightness lamp 16. The wiring for the lamp 16 is routed and stored in the junction box 153. Positioning the lamp 16 on the side wall of the pillar 15 allows for quick installation and facilitates subsequent maintenance.

[0051] Compared with the traditional sleeper car, the present invention has added a column 15 structure. In order to make the column 15 realize a lightweight design while meeting the structural strength of the sleeper compartment, the inventor sets the column 15 to a hollow triangular prism structure. While improving the structural strength of the column 15, the air duct and electrical wiring are arranged inside the hollow column 15. On the one hand, it can realize the rapid modular installation of the car and improve the installation efficiency and installation cost of the car; on the other hand, it can save space for the installation layout of the air duct and electrical wiring in the car, so that more space can be saved in the car for berths and activity space. While ensuring that the capacity of each train remains unchanged, the length and width of the bed can be increased, thereby improving the comfort of passengers when resting in the berth.

[0052] In order to improve the lighting in the berths of the compartments in row A and row B, and to enable passengers on both the upper and lower berths to enjoy the scenery outside the window, thereby improving the passenger comfort, two rows of windows 4 (such as Figure 6 and 7 As shown), the upper and lower bunks in the compartments in row A and row B are arranged, and each bunk has its own window 4. A stretchable blackout curtain is provided on the inside of the window 4. The connecting angle air duct 33 is provided with an air outlet on each bunk, and each bunk is provided with two air outlets, located at the head and foot of the bunk respectively. The air outlet is a grille structure. In order to balance the air output of the upper and lower bunks, the grille spacing of the upper bunk air outlet is smaller than that of the lower bunk air outlet. The grille structure is rotatable, and an adjustment knob is provided on the air outlet to control the direction of the grille, thereby changing the direction and air volume of the air outlet in the bunk and the switch of the air outlet.

[0053] The air duct includes a main duct 31, branch ducts 32, connecting angle ducts 33, and an exhaust vent. The main duct 31 is located at the top of the vehicle compartment and is used to guide fresh air into the vehicle compartment. The main duct 31 runs through both ends of the vehicle compartment in the longitudinal direction. Branch ducts 32 are located on both sides of the main duct 31 and communicate with the main duct 31. The branch ducts 32 are used to connect with the connecting angle duct 33. The branch ducts 32 and the connecting angle duct 33 are sealed by flanges. The exhaust vent is located at the bottom of the vehicle compartment and is used to exhaust polluted air from the vehicle compartment.

[0054] Fresh air from the main air duct 31 flows through two branch air ducts 32 to the connecting angle ducts 33 of the sleeper compartment 1, where it is then transferred downward along these ducts. Two routes of fresh air flow through the sleeper compartment 1: one route flows through the connecting angle duct 33 at the head of the compartment 1 and is adjusted by a knob at the head air outlet of the berth before being directed into the corresponding space. The other route flows through the connecting angle duct 33 at the tail of the compartment 1 and is adjusted by a knob at the tail (or foot) air outlet of the berth before being directed into the corresponding space. Compared to the prior art, fresh air from the main air duct 31 flows through the connecting angle ducts 33 at the head and tail of the compartment 1, respectively, to the head and tail of the berths in the compartment 1. Furthermore, the amount of fresh air flowing to the upper and lower berths is adjustable. Each berth in sleeper compartment 1 is designed with air outlets with adjustable air volume at the head and foot (tail), which improves the uniformity of air supply to the berth and solves the problem of passengers requiring air supply at both the head and tail of the berth. Passengers can choose to have air outlet at the head or foot.

[0055] Sleeper compartments 1 are equipped with ladders 17 for passengers climbing to the upper berth. In this embodiment, the ladders 17 for the compartments in row A are mounted on the outer wall 13 of the transverse wall 13 of the compartments in row C, while the ladders 17 for the compartments in rows B and C are mounted on the longitudinal wall 14 of the corresponding compartments. For passenger safety, handrails 18 are installed at the top of the ladders 17 for passengers to hold onto when climbing.

[0056] A sliding lumbar support 101 is located at the head of the berth (i.e., toward the passenger's head when resting). This support can be adjusted up and down, forward and backward, and can be adjusted to suit the passenger's needs. Each berth also features a small flip table 102, which is convenient for passengers to work or eat without taking up space. The table 102 also has an extension board 1021 to increase the usable surface area. This arrangement greatly improves passenger comfort in bed and maximizes the space available in the sleeper compartment 1. A storage basket 103 and a clothes hanger 104 are also located at the foot of the berth (or tail, toward the passenger's feet when resting). The storage basket 103 allows passengers to store personal items and reduce clutter in the berth, while the clothes hanger 104 allows passengers to hang their clothes. The clothes hanger 104 is hinged to the transverse wall 13. When in use, the clothes hanger 104 and the transverse wall 13 are fixed at a certain angle so that the clothes on the clothes hanger 104 do not touch the transverse wall 13. When the clothes hanger 104 is not in use, the clothes hanger 104 is folded, that is, the clothes hanger 104 is set parallel to the transverse wall 13.

[0057] The sleeper cars are also equipped with light strips, which are installed at the top of the aisle and evenly distributed along the length of the sleeper car. To make the light strip more aesthetically pleasing, it is designed as an oval light strip. Of course, the light strip can also be round, square, elongated, or other shapes.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0060] In this embodiment, the flip bench 21 and the flip table 22 are arranged on the outer wall of the longitudinal wall 14 of the B column private room, and the flip bench 21 and the flip table 22 are connected to the outer wall of the longitudinal wall 14 through hinges.

[0061] A luggage rack 23 is mounted on the outer wall of the middle column 152. The height of the rack is just right for passengers to place their luggage while standing. A guardrail 231 is provided on the rack to prevent luggage from falling. A flip bench 21 or flip table 22 can be located below the rack. The flip bench 21 provides a rest area for passengers, while the flip table 22 provides a place for passengers to store small items.

[0062] Obviously, based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, this embodiment also relates to a rail vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned sleeper car.

[0063] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "upper", "lower", "width", "length", "height", "top", "bottom" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the scheme of the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than explicitly or implicitly indicating that the devices or elements involved must have the specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms cannot be understood or interpreted as limitations on the scheme of the present invention.

[0064] In addition, in the description of this specification, “a plurality of” means at least two, for example, two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
