[0002] With the rapid development of railway transportation, the safety of passenger trains, especially their safety in the event of a collision, has received widespread attention. In the event of a collision, the immense impact force of a traditional passenger train carriage can cause passengers to hit their seats or other objects, resulting in a high risk of injury. Furthermore, in cases of severe impact, passengers and luggage can be ejected due to inertia, impacting the carriage walls or other structures and causing secondary injuries. In the event of a rear-end collision or a collision with a foreign object, the powerful impact can often cause the carriage walls to cave inward, endangering passenger lives. Therefore, a new type of collision-resistant passenger train carriage is needed to effectively address these potential risks.

[0003] To address these issues and shortcomings, the inventors have developed a safer passenger train carriage structure. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a passenger train carriage structure includes an outer wall 1 and an inner wall 15. An anti-collision mechanism is provided in the interlayer between the outer wall 1 and the inner wall 15. The anti-collision mechanism includes several anti-collision beams 2 and reinforcing ribs 6. The anti-collision beams 2 are trapezoidal frames with a larger opening facing outwards. Steel cables 5 are fixedly connected between the anti-collision beams 2, and the parallel anti-collision beams 2 are connected in series by the steel cables 5. A first spring 19 is fixedly installed inside the anti-collision beam 2. A reinforcing rib 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the anti-collision beam 2. The reinforcing rib 6 and the inner and outer sides of the anti-collision beam 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall 15 and the outer wall 1 of the carriage, respectively. A reinforcing plate 17 is fixedly connected inside the reinforcing rib 6, and the reinforcing plate 17 divides the internal space of the reinforcing rib 6 into a trapezoidal shape.

[0025] In this design, anti-collision beams 2 are installed at intervals at the front and rear ends and sides of the vehicle body. The anti-collision beams 2 are made of high-strength titanium alloy and are trapezoidal in shape, with the side with the larger cross-section facing the direction of impact. This design effectively disperses the impact force, transferring the concentrated impact force along the hypotenuse of the trapezoid to a larger area, avoiding excessive local stress. Adjacent anti-collision beams are connected by high-strength, high-toughness steel cables 5, forming an integrated anti-collision network. When an anti-collision beam 2 is impacted, the force can be transferred to other anti-collision beams 2 via the steel cables 5, further dispersing and buffering the impact force.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a protective air curtain 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall 15 of the carriage, and several seats 3 are provided at the bottom of the inner wall 15 of the carriage. A buffer box 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the seat 3, and a sliding groove 8 is opened inside the buffer box 7. A slider 11 is movably installed inside the sliding groove 8. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider 11, and a fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 9. Several bolt holes are opened on the plate body of the fixing plate 10, and the fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall 15 of the carriage by bolts and bolt holes.

[0027] In this configuration, the seat and berth backrests utilize a cushioning structure, with adjustable neck and lumbar support airbags 18 installed on the backrests. This provides passengers with a comfortable riding experience during normal operation and protects their spine and neck from injury in the event of a collision. Retractable safety curtains 4 are installed on both sides of the aisle and at the ends of the carriage. Normally, the safety curtains 4 retract into the carriage walls, not obstructing passenger passage. Upon impact, the safety curtains 4 deploy rapidly, forming a protective barrier of appropriate height to prevent passengers from being thrown towards hard objects at the ends of the carriage or along the aisle. The safety curtains 4 are made of high-strength polycarbonate material with internal crisscrossing reinforcing ribs, ensuring both transparency and sufficient strength to withstand impact.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in a specific embodiment, both ends of the slider 11 are fixedly connected to hydraulic dampers 12, the end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic damper 12 is fixedly connected to a top plate 14, the other side of the top plate 14 is fixedly connected to an air spring 13, the other end of the air spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 8 opened in the buffer box 7, and the inside of the air spring 13 is sealed, and a second spring 16 is fixedly installed in the cavity.

[0029] In this configuration, the bottom of the seats 3 and berths is equipped with a buffer device consisting of a compressible air spring 13 and a hydraulic damper 12. When the carriage is impacted, the air spring 13 is first compressed to absorb part of the impact force, and then the hydraulic damper 12 comes into play to slow down the rebound speed of the air spring 13, preventing passengers from suffering secondary injuries due to the rebound.

[0030] The implementation principle of a passenger train carriage structure in this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] This invention features anti-collision beams 2 spaced at the front and rear ends and sides of the vehicle body. These beams are made of high-strength titanium alloy and are trapezoidal in shape, with the larger cross-section facing the impact direction. This design effectively disperses the impact force, transferring concentrated impact along the hypotenuse of the trapezoid to a larger area, preventing excessive local stress. Adjacent anti-collision beams are connected by high-strength, high-toughness steel cables 5, forming a unified anti-collision network. When an anti-collision beam 2 is impacted, the force can be transferred to other anti-collision beams 2 via the steel cables 5, further dispersing and buffering the impact force.

[0032] Meanwhile, the bottom of seats 3 and berths is equipped with a buffer device consisting of compressible air springs 13 and hydraulic dampers 12. When the carriage is impacted, the air springs 13 are compressed first to absorb some of the impact force, and then the hydraulic dampers 12 take effect to slow down the rebound speed of the air springs 13, preventing passengers from suffering secondary injuries due to the rebound. At the same time, the backrests of the seats and berths adopt a buffer structure, and adjustable neck and lumbar support airbags 18 are set on the backrests to provide passengers with a comfortable riding experience during normal operation and to protect passengers' spine and neck from injury in the event of a collision.

[0033] Furthermore, retractable safety curtains 4 are installed on both sides of the aisle and at the ends of the carriage. Normally, the safety curtains 4 are retracted within the carriage walls, not obstructing passenger passage. In the event of an impact, the safety curtains 4 can quickly deploy, forming a protective barrier of appropriate height to prevent passengers from being thrown towards hard objects at the ends of the carriage or along the aisle due to the impact force. The safety curtains 4 are made of high-strength polycarbonate material with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs inside, ensuring both transparency and sufficient strength to withstand impact.
