[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the modular driver's cab and rail vehicle of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] This invention provides a modular driver's cab, combined with Figure 1A , Figure 1B As shown, the modular control console includes a main body 10, a display module 20, an operation module 30, and other structures. The main body 10 is the basic structure of the entire control console, and other structures are installed on the main body 10.

[0049] The main body 10 is a hollow shell structure, with intermediate components such as cables housed within its internal cavity. The main body 10 is made of fiberglass and manufactured as a single piece using a mold, serving as the carrier for the installation of other structures on the control panel.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 3BAs shown, the main body 10 is provided with a display base 110 and an operation base 120; the display base 110 is located on the far side, and the operation base 120 is located on the near side, that is, the display base 110 is located on the side away from the driver, and the operation base 120 is located on the side closer to the driver. The display base 110 is used to install the display module 20, and the operation base 120 is used to install the operation module 30.

[0051] Combination Figure 1A As shown, the display module 20 is fitted and installed on the display base 110, that is, the display module 20 is fixed on the display base 110. Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, the display module 20 includes a display screen 210 and a transition plate 220. The transition plate 220 is located around the display screen 210 and is used to cover the gap between the display screen 210 and the display base 110. By setting the transition plate 220, different sizes of display screens 210 can be adapted to the display base 110, improving the versatility of the display base 110.

[0052] The display screen 210 is mounted on the transition plate 220 by screws, and the surfaces of the two are flush, achieving an aesthetic effect.

[0053] exist Figure 1A In the illustrated embodiment, a total of four display modules 20 are provided, with each display base 110 supporting one display module 20, which can meet diverse information display needs.

[0054] The operation module 30 is fitted and installed on the operation base 120. The operation module 30 includes an operation panel 310 and operation keys 320 and operation levers 330 disposed on the operation panel 310. Several openings are provided on the operation panel 310 to avoid the operation keys 320 and operation levers 330. The operation panel 310 is used to form a fixed assembly with the operation base 120. Multiple operation keys 320 and operation levers 330 are respectively provided. The operation keys 320 can be pressable buttons or knobs for adjustment. The operation levers 330 are swingable structures.

[0055] The number, function, and position of the operation keys 320 and the operation levers 330 are set according to requirements. Several operation keys 320 and operation levers 330 can form an operating area, combined with... Figure 1B As shown, there are two operation panels 310. The left operation panel 310 has three operation areas (ⅠⅡⅢ), and the right operation panel 310 has two operation areas (ⅣⅤ).

[0056] The number of display modules 20 and operation modules 30 can vary according to usage requirements. The structure shown in the accompanying drawings is only a specific structural reference and is not limited to specific functions and positions. Other numbers, functions, and positions of operation keys 320 and joysticks 330 can also be provided.

[0057] The display module 20 and the operation module 30 can be fixedly assembled onto the body 10 by screws, or by snaps or a combination of various connection methods.

[0058] The present invention pre-configures the structure of the main body 10, reserving a certain number of display bases 110 and operation bases 120. Each display base 110 is equipped with a display module 20, and each operation base 120 is equipped with an operation module 30. The display module 20 achieves the matching and assembly of display screens 210 of different specifications with the display base 110 through a transition plate 220, realizing the adaptation to display modules 20 of different specifications, and is suitable for the installation of various types and complex display screen requirements.

[0059] The shape of the control panel 310 is adapted to the control base 120 to achieve fixed assembly, and the operation keys 320 and the control lever 330 on the control panel 310 can be set according to different needs to meet the requirements of different models and regulations in different regions.

[0060] Based on the same main body 10, only the operation keys 320 and the operation lever 330 on the operation module 30 need to be changed to change the specifications and models. Therefore, the entire cab does not need to be designed as a whole, realizing a universal design and meeting the installation requirements of multiple types and complex operation components.

[0061] Based on the above scheme, the present invention provides a display base 110 with a through opening and an operating base 120 with a recessed stepped structure. The back of the display module 20 extends into the inner cavity of the body 10 through the through opening, and the perimeter of the through opening provides support for the edges of the display module 20. The recessed stepped structure of the operating base 120 supports the perimeter of the operating module 30, and the perimeter of the operating panel 310 is supported by the recessed stepped surface. The perimeter of the operating panel 310 is circumferentially limited by stepped grooves, so that the upper surface of the operating panel 310 can be flush with the surface of the body 10, thus enhancing the overall integrity of the reinforcing platform.

[0062] The stepped surface of the operating base 120 is provided with several openings for screws to be tightened and installed to securely fix the operating panel 310.

[0063] Combination Figure 1A , Figure 2As shown, in this invention, the display base 110 is tilted, so that the display module 20 is tilted towards the driver to display information, which conforms to the driver's viewing angle. The operating base 120 is horizontal, so that the upper surface of the operating panel 310 remains horizontal. In addition, the operating base 120 may also be slightly tilted, and these specific structural forms should all be included within the protection scope of this invention.

[0064] The display base 110 is arranged in an arc shape, combined with Figure 1A As shown, there are four display bases 110, each with a corresponding display module 20. The display surfaces of the four display modules 20 are not coplanar, but face the driver. The distance between each display module 20 and the driver is approximately equal, so the driver only needs to turn his head to view the different display modules 20.

[0065] Two operation bases 120 are arranged on the left and right sides respectively, and more can be arranged. The total length of all operation bases 120 spliced ​​together is approximately equal to the distance between the two ends of the four display modules 20. Arranging two or more operation bases 120 increases the supporting rigidity of the operation panel 310 and reduces the deformation amplitude at the center of the operation panel 310. The more operation modules 30 there are, the smaller the area of ​​each individual operation panel 310, and the less likely the operation panel 310 is to deform.

[0066] Combination Figure 3A As shown, the operating base 120 is provided with a support base 130. The support base 130 is fixed to the edge of the operating base 120 and extends toward the center of the opening of the operating base 120. The support base 130 is used to fix and support the automatic braking controller 331.

[0067] The automatic brake controller 331 requires considerable force to operate and therefore needs to be provided with greater support strength. The automatic brake controller 331 is not directly mounted on the control panel 310, but is supported separately by an additional support base 130, so that the control panel 310 will not be deformed when the automatic brake controller 331 is operated.

[0068] In addition to the automatic braking controller 331, the operating key 320 or operating lever 330, which requires a large operating force, can also be installed on the support base 130.

[0069] Combination Figure 3A As shown, the support base 130 includes a support beam 131 and a C-shaped groove seat 132 fixed to the support beam 131. The support beam 131 can be in the shape of a straight line, a broken line or a curve. The support beam 131 and the C-shaped groove seat 132 can be made of metal materials.

[0070] Both ends of the support beam 131 can be fixed to the body 10 with bolts. The support beam 131 is located in the opening of the operating base 120. The support beam 131 can support the operating panel 310 and provide support for the middle of the operating panel 310, further improving the support strength of the operating panel 310 and preventing the middle position of the operating panel 310 from being concave and deformed. The support beam 131 is provided with openings for installing screws, improving the fixing strength of the operating panel 310.

[0071] The C-shaped slot 132 can be fixed to the support beam 131 with screws. The C-shaped slot 132 is used to position and install the automatic brake controller 331, and the C-shaped slot 132 forms a snap-fit ​​fixation. The number and position of the C-shaped slot 132 can be set according to the size of the automatic brake controller 331. Generally, the automatic brake controller 331 is installed by two C-shaped slots 132.

[0072] The C-shaped slot seat 132 is a bent metal part with a base plate and two side walls. The two side walls form a structure with a small opening and a large base. The two side walls can undergo elastic deformation to achieve clamping.

[0073] Based on any of the above schemes and their combinations, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3A As shown, the top of the main body 10 is provided with an equipment base 140, an instrument base 150, and a placement area 160. The equipment base 140 is used to install the equipment box 40, and the instrument base 150 is used to install the instrument box 50. The equipment base 140 and the instrument base 150 are recessed stepped grooves, which respectively position and limit the equipment box 40 and the instrument box 50. The equipment box 40 contains related equipment components. The instrument box 50 contains instruments.

[0074] The equipment box 40 is made of fiberglass and integrally molded using a mold. It is then bolted to the equipment base 140. The instrument box 50 is also made of fiberglass and integrally molded using a mold. It is then screwed to the instrument base 150.

[0075] The device base 140 and instrument base 150 are located on the far side of the display base 110, meaning the device box 40 and instrument box 50 are further away from the driver relative to the display module 20. Because the display modules 20 are arc-shaped, the display modules 20 at the left and right ends are further away from the back of the main body 10. The device box 40 and instrument box 50 can be installed after the display modules 20 at the left and right ends, respectively. Figure 1A As shown, the device box 40 is located behind and above the left display module 20; the instrument box 50 is located behind and above the right display module 20.

[0076] Combination Figure 1AAs shown, the placement area 160 is located on the left side of the device box 40. The placement area 160 is a recessed groove-shaped structure with surrounding edges to prevent items from falling off while the vehicle is in motion. The size of the placement area 160 can be set according to different needs.

[0077] Combination Figure 1A As shown, an emergency brake button 170 is installed on the main body 10, and the emergency brake button 170 is installed on one side of the operating base 120. The emergency brake button 170 is directly fixed to the main body 10. Since it needs to be used in an emergency, it is directly installed on the main body 10, located on one side of the operating base 120, away from the normally used operating keys 320 and operating lever 330, to prevent accidental activation.

[0078] The display base 110 has a power socket 101, an equipment board 102, a side inspection door 103, and a mobile phone holder 104 installed on one side, and a microphone 105 and a side window air vent 106 installed on the other side. Combined with... Figure 1A , Figure 1B As shown, the power socket 101 is located on the left side of the display base 110 for connecting electrical devices. The device panel 102 is located on the left front panel of the entire body 10. The side access door 103 is located on the left end face of the body 10; opening the side access door 103 exposes the internal components. The mobile phone holder 104 is located below the power socket 101 and can support mobile phones and other devices. A microphone 105 and a side window air vent 106 are located on the right side of the display base 110, both of which are directly mounted on the body 10. The side window air vent 106 provides defogging and defrosting functions for the side window.

[0079] The placement area 160 can accommodate devices such as laptops and is close to the power outlet 101 for convenient power access.

[0080] Combination Figure 3C As shown, the present invention provides a bottom inspection cover 180 at the lower part of the main body 10. Opening the bottom inspection cover 180 exposes the internal components. The bottom inspection cover 180 is made of fiberglass and molded, and is bolted to the bottom of the main body 10 to facilitate the maintenance of the upper operating components.

[0081] A pull handle 181 is installed on the bottom access cover 180. When it is necessary to adjust the seat, the driver can adjust the seat forward by sitting in the seat and pulling the pull handle 181 with his fingers.

[0082] The pull handle 181 can be a plate-shaped cantilever structure with one end fixed and the other end suspended, or a protrusion protruding from the bottom access cover 180, or a rod-shaped structure fixed at both ends. When the pull handle 181 adopts a plate-shaped cantilever structure, it forms an open groove with the bottom access cover 180. The groove provides a longitudinal restraint point for the driver in the seating area, making it convenient for the driver to hold the pull handle 181 with one hand and adjust the longitudinal adjustment mechanism of the seat with the other hand, thus improving the longitudinal adjustment operation feel of the driver's seat.

[0083] Combination Figure 5A , Figure 5B As shown, a heat-insulating film 311 is installed on the upper surface of the operation panel 310 of the present invention. The heat-insulating film 311 is embedded in the upper surface of the operation panel 310 and is flush with the upper surface of the operation panel 310. The thermal conductivity of the heat-insulating film 311 is less than 0.4 W / (m·K) to avoid the tabletop from becoming cold due to low ambient temperature during winter, and to improve comfort when touching it in low temperature environments.

[0084] The present invention also provides a rail vehicle whose cab is equipped with the aforementioned modular driver's cab, and the rail vehicle can achieve the aforementioned technical effects.

[0085] To address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings, this invention proposes a modular driver's cab structure for rail vehicles. This cab offers flexibility and compatibility, adapting to the installation requirements of various complex operating components. The structure is safe and reliable; different installation methods and sizes of operating and display components can be achieved using the same modular cab, effectively reducing the development cycle and mold costs. The driver's operating experience is enhanced by incorporating a heat-insulating film composite structure on the outer side of the control panel and a clamping device on the lower edge of the cab.

[0086] This invention is applicable to the modular design of the driver's cab structure of rail vehicles. By adopting a modular design for the driver's cab, it enables the installation of various and complex operation and display components, thereby improving the driver's sense of operation.

[0087] Based on the classification of function keys for driver operation in UIC612-0 and EN16186-2, this invention forms a modular installation cab suitable for various complex operating components. The modular cab structure conforms to the requirements of UIC612-0 and EN16186-2 standards, and is suitable for platform-based locomotives with cab installations for operating components with different needs across multiple projects. This effectively shortens the development and design cycle and reduces production costs.

[0088] The present invention adopts a modular design, with the display module 20, operation module 30, equipment box 40 and instrument box 50 each forming an independent module, which can be flexibly replaced and can adapt to the installation of various types and complex operating components.

[0089] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
