Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rail train technology, and more particularly to roof structures, car bodies, and rail trains. Background Technology

[0002] The car body structure of a rail train consists of the roof and its connected side walls. In traditional material selection, the car body mainly uses carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Among them, aluminum alloy is widely used in intercity trains, EMU trains and some urban rail transit vehicles due to its low density and weight. Carbon steel and stainless steel are mostly used in large railway passenger cars and urban rail vehicles. With the increasing demand for energy efficiency of vehicle systems, the search for materials that are lighter and stronger than aluminum alloy for the car body structure has become the research and development direction of the rail transit manufacturing industry. Composite materials such as carbon fiber, with their high strength and low density characteristics, are being used more and more widely in vehicle systems.

[0003] Meanwhile, since traditional roof structures typically consist of two parallel roof side beams and several sets of curved beams welded between the two roof side beams, the load distribution path is not fully considered in the beam layout, which further increases the weight of the roof structure under the strength requirements of the roof.

[0004] Therefore, in order to meet the design requirements of lightweight rail train bodies, there is an urgent need for a new type of lightweight roof structure to effectively reduce the overall weight of the train body. Summary of the Invention

[0016] According to embodiments of this disclosure, each of the above-described skins is configured as a carbon fiber multilayer overlay structure.

[0017] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle body including two side walls and the aforementioned roof structure, wherein the two side walls are configured to extend in the extension direction of the vehicle body and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the vehicle body, and two side beams of the aforementioned roof structure are respectively mounted on the two aforementioned side walls.

[0018] Another aspect of this disclosure provides a rail train, including the aforementioned car body.

[0019] An embodiment of this disclosure provides a roof structure including two symmetrically arranged side beams, multiple crossbeam modules, multiple mounting frames, and multiple skins.

[0062] Figure 1 The diagram schematically illustrates a first-view perspective view of a roof structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 Schematic illustration Figure 1 A second-view perspective perspective of the roof structure shown; Figure 3 A perspective view of the mounting frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically; Figure 4 Schematic illustration Figure 3 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the mounting frame shown.

[0063] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a roof structure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the structure includes two side beams 1, multiple crossbeam modules 2, multiple mounting frames 3, and multiple skins 4. The two side beams 1 are configured to extend longitudinally and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the roof structure; the multiple crossbeam modules 2 are spaced apart between the two side beams 1 in a first direction; the multiple mounting frames 3 are installed between two adjacent crossbeam modules 2 and are suitable for mounting roof equipment. Each mounting frame 3 includes two longitudinal beams 31 and two crossbeams 32. The outer side of each longitudinal beam 31 is provided with a first outer flange 311 for connection with the side beam 1, and the outer side of each crossbeam 32 is provided with a second outer flange 321 for connection with the crossbeam module 2. The inner side of at least one of the longitudinal beams 31 and each crossbeam 32 is provided with an inner flange 312 for supporting the roof equipment; the multiple skins 4 are respectively mounted on the crossbeam modules 2.

[0064] Based on the above configuration, multiple crossbeam modules 2 and multiple mounting frames 3 are modularly designed and alternately installed longitudinally between the side beams 1. Each mounting frame 3 consists of two longitudinal beams 31 and two crossbeams 32. The outer sides of the longitudinal beams 31 and crossbeams 32 are respectively provided with a first outer flange 311 and a second outer flange 321 connecting to the side beams 1 and crossbeam modules 2, while the inner sides are provided with an inner flange 312 supporting the roof equipment. This improves the rigidity and stability of the roof, facilitates the installation and maintenance of the roof equipment, and achieves roof weight reduction through optimized structural layout.

[0065] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple skins 4 are respectively bonded to the crossbeam module 2 to form the outer contour of the roof structure.

[0066] In one illustrative embodiment, each longitudinal beam 31 has an inner flange 312 for supporting roof equipment on its inner side, and the inner flange 312 has a pre-installation hole for fixing the roof equipment.

[0067] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame 3 also includes a sealing groove 33, which is disposed on the first outer flange 311 and the second outer flange 321. The mounting frame 3 is suitable for cooperating with the sealing strip of the roof equipment to seal the roof equipment.

[0068] According to the above configuration, sealing grooves 33 are provided on the first outer flange 311 and the second outer flange 321, so that the mounting frame 3 can cooperate with the sealing strip of the roof equipment, thereby achieving the sealing of the roof equipment. This ensures the sealing performance of the roof structure after the roof equipment is installed, preventing moisture, dust and other foreign objects from entering the roof or the interior of the vehicle body through the roof structure. At the same time, it protects the roof equipment from environmental influences and extends its service life.

[0069] Figure 5 A perspective view of a mounting frame according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0070] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinal beam 31 is configured to have different extension dimensions in the longitudinal direction, so that the mounting frame 3 has different dimensions to install roof equipment of different sizes.

[0071] In one illustrative embodiment, the roof-mounted equipment includes an air conditioner.

[0072] In one illustrative embodiment, each longitudinal beam 31 and crossbeam 32 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, high-strength, and has good corrosion resistance, ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the roof.

[0073] In one illustrative embodiment, adjacent longitudinal beams 31 and transverse beams 32 are connected and fixed by welding. The welded connection is characterized by its continuity and uniformity, which helps to disperse the stress borne by the roof, reduce local stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the roof.

[0074] In one illustrative embodiment, the main body, first outer flange 311, and sealing groove 33 of each longitudinal beam 31 are integrally formed; the main body, second outer flange 321, and sealing groove 33 of each cross beam 32 are also integrally formed.

[0075] Figure 6 A schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the connection relationship between the side beam and the mounting frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 A schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the connection relationship between the beam module and the skin and the side beam according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8 A schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the connection relationship between the side beam and the side wall according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0076] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figures 6 to 8As shown, each side beam 1 has a cavity inside, and at least one reinforcing rib extending in the longitudinal direction is provided in the cavity. Each side beam 1 includes: a first mounting part 11 and a first flange 12. The first mounting part 11 is located at the top of the outer side of the side beam 1 and is suitable for connecting the first outer flange 311 and the skin 4. The first flange 12 is located at the bottom of the outer side of the side beam 1 and is suitable for connecting the side wall 6 of the vehicle body.

[0077] According to the above-described configuration, the design of the internal cavity and reinforcing ribs significantly improves the load-bearing capacity and bending resistance of the side beam 1, helping to distribute and bear the weight of the roof and external loads. The first mounting part 11 and the first flange 12 are respectively used to connect the outer flange of the mounting frame 3, the skin 4, and the side wall 6 of the vehicle body, thereby achieving a firm connection between the roof structure itself and the vehicle body. This improves the overall structural strength of the roof and ensures good sealing performance, thus enhancing the technical effects of vehicle safety and durability.

[0078] In one illustrative embodiment, each side beam 1 is a composite material structure with a carbon fiber layup design, which has the characteristics of high stiffness and light weight.

[0079] In one illustrative embodiment, the edge of the skin 4 is bonded to the first mounting part 11. The bonding method ensures a tight connection between the skin 4 and the side beam 1, effectively preventing moisture, dust and other external impurities from entering the vehicle body, ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of the vehicle interior environment, and improving the overall waterproofness and airtightness of the vehicle.

[0080] Figure 9 A schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the connection relationship between the curved beam and the mounting frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0081] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, each beam module 2 includes at least two curved beams 21 installed longitudinally between two side beams 1 and a reinforcing unit installed between two adjacent curved beams 21.

[0082] According to the above configuration, the reinforcement unit effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the crossbeam module 2 and prevents the roof from deforming under impact. At the same time, by installing the curved beams 21 at intervals, the weight distribution of the roof is optimized, improving the uniformity and durability of the roof structure.

[0083] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second outer flange 321 is connected to the adjacent curved beam 21.

[0084] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, the first outer flange 311 and the adjacent first mounting part 11, and the second outer flange 321 and the adjacent curved beam 21 are riveted together by a plurality of rivets 5.

[0085] Based on the above setup, rivets 5 are used for riveting, ensuring a secure connection between the roof structure components and improving the overall connection strength and stability. The riveting process effectively disperses and bears stress at the connection points, reducing loosening caused by vibration or impact, thereby enhancing the safety and durability of the roof structure. Furthermore, the good sealing performance of the riveted connection helps prevent the intrusion of moisture and dust, ensuring a clean interior environment and passenger comfort.

[0086] In one illustrative embodiment, the reinforcement unit includes at least one of a supporting longitudinal beam 22, a supporting inclined beam 23, and a supporting curved beam 24. Based on the simulated structure, the topology of the structure is optimized so that the supporting longitudinal beam 22 and / or the supporting inclined beam 23 and / or the supporting curved beam 24 between two adjacent curved beams 21 extend according to the direction of force transmission of the roof structure, thereby further reducing the weight of the roof while ensuring strength.

[0087] Figure 10 A perspective view of a beam module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0088] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the multiple crossbeam modules 2 include a first crossbeam module, wherein the reinforcement unit of the first crossbeam module includes multiple supporting longitudinal beams 22, which are installed at intervals between two adjacent curved beams 21.

[0089] In one illustrative embodiment, the first crossbeam module is installed between the ends of the two side beams 1, such that the structure of the first crossbeam module's curved beam 21 plus supporting longitudinal beam 22 provides strength support for the roof structure at the ends.

[0090] Figure 11 A perspective view of a beam module according to another embodiment of this disclosure is shown schematically.

[0091] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the multiple crossbeam modules 2 also include a second crossbeam module, wherein the reinforcing unit of the second crossbeam module includes multiple supporting inclined beams 23, which are configured to be symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the roof structure and extend inclinedly to the axis. The supporting inclined beams 23 include at least two first inclined beams 231, with both ends connected between two adjacent curved beams 21; and / or at least two second inclined beams 232, with both ends connected between adjacent curved beams 21 and first inclined beams 231, and forming a triangular structure with the curved beams 21 and first inclined beams 231.

[0092] According to the above configuration, the triangular structure formed by the first inclined beam 231 and the second inclined beam 232 effectively enhances the roof's bending and torsional resistance, allowing the roof to distribute and bear loads from all directions more evenly. This not only improves the overall strength of the roof but also increases its resistance to dynamic loads, thereby enhancing vehicle safety and passenger comfort, while also extending the service life of the roof structure.

[0093] Figure 12 A perspective view of a beam module according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically; Figure 13 A perspective view of a beam module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0094] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the multiple crossbeam modules 2 also include a fourth crossbeam module, wherein the reinforcement unit of the fourth crossbeam module also includes multiple supporting curved beams 24, which are installed between two adjacent supporting inclined beams 23 and / or between adjacent supporting inclined beams 23 and side beams 1.

[0095] Based on the above configuration, by adding a supporting curved beam 24 to the crossbeam module 2, the overall rigidity and stability of the connection areas between the supporting inclined beams 23 and between the supporting inclined beams 23 and the side beams 1 are further enhanced. The supporting curved beam 24 helps to distribute the load borne by the roof more evenly, reducing local stress concentration and thus improving the roof's resistance to deformation. This improves the structural performance of the roof under both static and dynamic conditions, and also enhances the roof's protection against impact loads, ensuring the vehicle's safety and durability.

[0096] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the multiple crossbeam modules 2 also include a third crossbeam module. The reinforcement unit of the third crossbeam module includes multiple supporting longitudinal beams 22, multiple supporting diagonal beams 23, and multiple supporting curved beams 24. The combination of beams extending in different directions further improves the strength of the reinforcement unit and enhances the roof's resistance to deformation.

[0097] In one illustrative embodiment, the curved beam 21, the supporting longitudinal beam 22, the supporting inclined beam 23, and the supporting curved beam 24 are all configured as hat-shaped beams, the flanges of which are adapted to connect the skin 4.

[0098] A cap beam, also known as a crown beam or cap beam, has a cross-section resembling the shape of a cap, with a large top and a small bottom. The sides of the cap beam gradually taper inward from the top to the bottom, forming a certain slope. Flanges are also provided on both sides of the top of the cap beam, which are suitable for bearing the lateral load of the structure and providing a surface for connection with other structures.

[0099] Based on the above configuration and the arrangement of the hat-shaped beams, the roof strength is improved while further reducing the roof weight, thus increasing material utilization efficiency.

[0100] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figures 10 to 13 As shown, each curved beam 21 has a second flange 211 at both ends, which is suitable for connection with the end of the side beam 1.

[0101] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the second flange 211 is provided on the bottom side of the end of the curved beam 21, so that the second flange 211 and the edge of the skin 4 form a concave receiving cavity, which is suitable for clamping on both sides of the top of the side beam 1.

[0102] In one illustrative embodiment, the second flange 211 is riveted or bonded to the side beam 1 by rivets 5.

[0103] According to the above configuration, the curved beam 21 can be securely connected to the side beam 1, forming a structurally strong and stable roof frame. The concave receiving cavity structure between the second flange 211 and the skin 4 can effectively clamp the top sides of the side beam 1, which not only improves the tightness and sealing of the connection, but also enhances the roof's ability to resist external loads. The riveting or bonding method of the rivets 5 further ensures the firmness of the connection, reduces wear and loosening of the connection parts, thereby improving the overall safety performance and durability of the vehicle.

[0104] In one illustrative embodiment, the end of the supporting curved beam 24 adjacent to the side beam 1 is provided with a third flange 241, which is suitable for connection to the end of the side beam 1.

[0105] In one illustrative embodiment, the third flange 241 is disposed on the bottom side of the end of the supporting curved beam 24, such that the third flange 241 and the edge of the skin 4 form a concave receiving cavity, which is suitable for clamping on both sides of the top of the side beam 1.

[0106] In one illustrative embodiment, the third flange 241 is riveted or bonded to the side beam 1 by rivets 5.

[0107] In one illustrative embodiment, each side beam 1, curved beam 21, supporting longitudinal beam 22, supporting inclined beam 23, and supporting curved beam 24 is made of composite material, including carbon fiber material.

[0108] According to the above configuration, by using carbon fiber composite materials, the weight of the roof structure is significantly reduced while maintaining extremely high strength and rigidity, thereby improving the roof's durability and fatigue resistance.

[0109] In one illustrative embodiment, each skin 4 is configured as a carbon fiber multilayer overlay structure.

[0110] Based on the above configuration, the strength and rigidity of skin 4 are improved, while the weight of skin 4 is significantly reduced, enhancing the corrosion resistance and durability of the vehicle body structure.

[0111] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a vehicle body including two side walls 6 and a roof structure, the two side walls 6 being configured to extend in the extension direction of the vehicle body and to be symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the vehicle body; and two side beams 1 of the roof structure being respectively mounted on the two side walls 6.

[0112] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the side beam 1 also includes a second mounting part 13, which is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the side beam 1. The outer side and the top of the inner side of the side wall 6 are provided with a third mounting part and a fourth flange that cooperate with the first flange 12 and the second mounting part 13 of the side beam 1.

[0113] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first flange 12 and the third mounting part are riveted or bolted together, and the second mounting part 13 and the fourth flange are connected together.

[0114] The aforementioned configuration enhances the connection stability between the side beam 1 and the side wall 6, improving the overall sealing and durability of the roof structure and the vehicle body side wall 6. The riveting or bolting connection ensures the robustness of the joints, reducing loosening due to vibration or impact, thereby improving vehicle safety and ride comfort. Furthermore, this connection method facilitates maintenance and replacement, extending the vehicle's service life.
