Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rail vehicle technology, specifically to a double-decker sightseeing driver's cab and a rail vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the railway industry, the types of rolling stock are developing in the direction of diversification, integration, and modularization.

[0003] Currently, sightseeing trains generally achieve passenger comfort and scenic views through passenger compartment design. However, in certain sightseeing scenarios, such as long-distance tours and urban routes, the current layout of vehicles has several shortcomings: First, the driver's cab layout in domestic trains currently uses a traditional driving function unit structure, and the space and decoration of the middle carriages are traditional and monotonous, lacking modern features. Second, while the train is running, passengers can only observe the external scenery through the windows of the middle passenger compartment or aisle windows. This train layout is detrimental to the sightseeing experience.

[0004] The existing driver's cab layout mainly consists of a cab console, electrical cabinet, driver's seat, windshield, and wipers. The cab console is located in the center of the cab, with the driver's seat behind it. A windshield, sunshade, and wipers are installed in front of the driver's seat, conforming to ergonomic design principles. The electrical cabinet and integrated cabinet are located behind the cab, and lighting, speakers, and surveillance cameras are mounted on the ceiling. The driver's cab structure is located at both ends of the train, with a closed design, which significantly impacts the train's layout and limits the available passenger space. The driver's cab is a separate, enclosed area, used as a standalone space. For certain sightseeing and tourism vehicles, the driver's cab's position at the front of the train prevents interaction with the outside environment, creating a spatial isolation between the driver, the vehicle, and the environment. This hinders the full display of the vehicle and track functions, lacks human and natural interaction, and fails to meet the current trends and demands for flexible passenger experiences.
