Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rail train technology, and more specifically, to a control panel, driver's cab, and rail vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The driver's cab of an urban rail vehicle is the core area for train operation control, typically located at the end of the train, and must meet multiple requirements including ergonomics, safety protection, and functional integration. Modern driver's cabs employ a modular design, integrating the windshield, observation system, signal display equipment, and emergency escape devices, while also meeting stringent collision safety standards. With the development of intelligent systems, driver's cabs are gradually incorporating multi-sensor fusion environmental perception systems (such as obstacle detection and video surveillance) and using lightweight materials (such as aluminum alloy composite structures) to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, the sound insulation, vibration damping, and climate control systems of the driver's cab also need to be optimized to ensure the driver's comfort and concentration during long working hours.
[0003] The control panel is the core operating interface of the driver's cab, and its design directly affects driving safety and operational efficiency. Traditional control panels include hardware such as traction / brake control levers, button panels, touchscreens, and fault diagnosis terminals. Modern trends favor integration and digitalization, such as integrating vehicle status monitoring, signal systems, and wiring information through a multi-function display (HMI). Furthermore, human-machine interface design is required, including optimized button layouts for blind operation, haptic feedback, and rapid accessibility to emergency braking devices. Some advanced systems have incorporated voice recognition or gesture control technology to further enhance intuitiveness.
[0004] In related technologies, urban rail vehicles are gradually adopting driverless operation, with driverless control panels in the driver's cab, which are unmanned and open to passenger viewing. Although the control panel has a protective structure, its sealing still has certain deficiencies. If passengers accidentally spill water or other liquids onto the control panel, they may seep through gaps in the cover and other parts of the control panel, potentially causing short circuits and damage to the equipment, thus affecting train operation. Therefore, improving the waterproof performance of the control panel has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0037] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the control panel provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the first cover plate of the control panel in a second state, provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, showing the second water baffle of the control panel and a partially enlarged schematic diagram.
[0038] An exemplary embodiment of this utility model provides a control panel, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a main body with an internal accommodating space for accommodating equipment. It also includes a first cover plate 1, a second cover plate 2, and a water-blocking assembly 3. The main body has an opening communicating with the external environment. The first cover plate 1 is rotatably disposed at the opening and has a first state covering a portion of the opening and a second state opening a portion of the opening. The second cover plate is disposed near the movable end of the first cover plate 1 and is configured to cover another portion of the opening in response to the first cover plate 1 being in the first state, and to slide into the accommodating space in response to the first cover plate 1 being in the second state, thereby opening another portion of the opening. The water-blocking assembly 3 is located within the accommodating space and is vertically disposed below the gap created by the first cover plate 1 engaging with the second cover plate 2 in the first state, and is designed to prevent liquid from leaking into the equipment through the gap.
[0039] In this implementation, the first cover plate 1 and the second cover plate 2 cooperate to open and close the opening. Specifically, when the first cover plate 1 is in the first state, the second cover plate 2 is blocked and limited by the first cover plate 1, and the first cover plate 1 and the second cover plate 2 together cover the opening. At this time, there is a gap between the first cover plate 1 and the second cover plate 2. By setting a water-blocking component 3 below the gap, the equipment in the accommodating space is blocked to prevent liquid from leaking into the equipment through the gap.
[0040] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The first cover plate 1 is in the first state, and the corresponding second cover plate 2 cooperates with the first cover plate 1 to cover the opening. Figure 2 In the first state, the first cover plate 1 is rotatably mounted on the main body with a rotational torque of 3-5 N·m, and is opened in a flip-open manner, with the second cover plate 2 already slid into the receiving space, and the other part of the opening is open. A slider is provided on the second cover plate 2, and a guide rail matching the slider is provided on the control panel body to guide the second cover plate into / out of the receiving space. The guide rail is coated with a polyurea lubricating coating with a friction coefficient ≤0.08.
[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water-blocking assembly 3 includes a first water-blocking plate 31, which is installed on the body and is configured as an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the gap to guide the leaking liquid away from the equipment near the gap.
[0042] In this implementation, by setting the first water-blocking plate 31 as an arc-shaped plate protruding towards the gap, splashing when liquid leaks onto the surface of the first cover plate 1 is minimized, thus improving the water-blocking effect. At the same time, the arc-shaped plate can reduce space occupation during arrangement, avoiding encroachment on equipment space.
[0043] For example, the cross-section of the first baffle plate 31 is constructed as a smooth arc with a corner radius of π / 2 to better buffer the liquid. The first baffle plate 31 can also be a roughly arc-shaped plate composed of multiple plates, which are laser-welded together, thus facilitating processing and installation.
[0044] In some optional embodiments, the first baffle plate 31 is manufactured using a hydroforming process, and its surface roughness is preferably less than or equal to Ra 1.6 μm.
[0045] According to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the water-blocking assembly 3 also includes a second water-blocking plate 32, which is vertically disposed on the ground below the first water-blocking plate 31 and is a device for preventing liquid from the first water-blocking plate 31 from dripping onto the ground.
[0046] In this implementation, the first baffle 31 protects the equipment near the gap while the liquid falls along the surface of the first baffle 31. By setting the second baffle 32, the equipment near the ground is protected, thus improving the water blocking effect.
[0047] Further according to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the second baffle plate 32 is provided with multiple protrusions or pits to reduce the splashing of liquid dripping from the first baffle plate 31.
[0048] In this embodiment, since the first baffle plate 31 and the second baffle plate 32 have a certain height difference, the liquid is more likely to splash when it drips from the first baffle plate 31 to the second baffle plate 32 than when it leaks from the gap to the first baffle plate 31. By setting multiple protrusions or pits on the surface of the second baffle plate 32, the liquid is buffered when it drips onto the surface of the second baffle plate 32, and it can also play a role in guiding the liquid, making it easier to collect and clean it later.
[0049] For example, the second baffle plate 32 has a thickness of about 1.5 cm and a plurality of protrusions are formed on its surface. The cross-section of the protrusions is constructed into a trapezoid and extends along the length direction of the gap. The plurality of protrusions are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the length direction, and the height of the trapezoidal protrusions is preferably 1 cm.
[0050] Furthermore, a small-diameter drainage hole, such as φ5mm, can be provided on the bottom surface of the recessed area between two adjacent protrusions. The opening should be positioned to avoid the equipment below the second baffle plate 32, or a small water collection box can be installed on the lower surface of the second baffle plate 32 at the position corresponding to the drainage hole.
[0051] In some other embodiments, the cross-section of the protrusion can also be semi-circular or rectangular. For example, the diameter of the semi-circular protrusion is 2cm and the interval is 2cm; the size of the rectangular protrusion is 1cm*1cm*1cm.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, the surface roughness of the second baffle plate 32 or the raised surface is greater than or equal to Ra1.6μm.
[0053] Figure 4 This is a partial side view of the control panel provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of a portion of point A in the middle.
[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second cover plate 2 shown has a first side that is close to and parallel to the gap. A first guide groove 4 extending in a first direction is provided on the first side. The channel of the first guide groove 4 is oriented toward the gap to contain liquid leaking from the gap.
[0055] For example, the U-shaped guide channel has a bottom width of 4mm, an opening width of 6mm, a depth of 8mm, and a channel wall thickness of 1.5mm.
[0056] In this implementation, the first side is the side close to and parallel to the gap. The first guide channel 4 extends downward from the lower surface of the second cover plate 2 and extends towards the first cover plate 1 beyond the gap, then extends upward to form a guide channel with a U-shaped cross-section. When a small amount of liquid leaks, the first guide channel 4 can contain the liquid, minimizing the risk of liquid splashing due to impact with the water-blocking assembly 3. If the liquid leaks continuously or the leakage is large in a short period, the water-blocking assembly 3 will still protect the equipment.
[0057] According to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second cover plate 2 also has a second side and a third side adjacent to the first side. A second guide channel 5 is provided at both the second side and the third side. The second guide channel 5 is configured to receive the liquid overflowing from the first guide channel 4 and guide the liquid to flow around the equipment to the ground.
[0058] In this implementation, two second guide channels 5 are arranged along the second and third sides and are located at both ends of the first guide channel 4. The first guide channel 4 is a through channel. After a period of accumulation, the liquid in the first guide channel 4 will flow out from both ends into the two second guide channels 5. The second guide channels 5 then guide the liquid to avoid the equipment, so as to achieve more effective protection for the equipment near the gap when a small amount of liquid leaks.
[0059] More specifically, such as Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, two second guide channels 5 are respectively attached to the second side and the third side of the second cover plate 2 and are constructed as arc-shaped channels. Both ends of the channels are generally downward. One end extends into the receiving space in a direction close to the first cover plate 1 to guide the liquid to the ground below the receiving space. The other end extends away from the first cover plate 1 in a direction to guide the liquid from the opening to the outside of the control panel.
[0060] In some optional embodiments, the second guide channel 5 adopts a gradient cross-section design, with an inlet width of 8mm (i.e., near the first guide channel 4) and an outlet width of 12mm at both ends.
[0061] Further according to embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the operating table also includes two guide pipes 6, which are connected to the second guide channel 5 respectively, and are suitable for diverting the liquid in the second guide channel 5 to the ground.
[0062] In this implementation, the liquid in the second guide channel 5 is further guided and buffered by the guide pipe 6, so that the liquid falls to the ground more smoothly and splashes less.
[0063] Specifically, the guide pipe 6 is fixed to the main body or the skeleton structure within the main body by a fixing clamp to prevent the guide pipe 6 from shaking and splashing liquid onto the equipment surface. The diameter of the guide pipe 6 is preferably Φ25±0.2mm.
[0064] Optionally, the first baffle plate 31 and the second baffle plate 32 are also fixed to the frame structure by bolts. The bolts are M6×20mm with a preload torque of 8-10N·m. The anti-loosening gaskets are made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0065] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control panel also includes a water storage box 7, which is suitable for collecting liquid flowing out from the guide pipe 6.
[0066] In this embodiment, the water storage box 7 is installed on the ground to collect the liquid from the guide pipe 6 for easy cleaning and shoveling. In addition, the water storage box 7 can also be used to collect the liquid left from the second baffle plate 32.
[0067] Optionally, the water storage box 7 is made of HDPE material with a density ≥945kg / m³ and a capacity of approximately 1 liter. A liquid level sensor is installed inside the water storage box 7. When the liquid level exceeds 80% of the height of the water storage box 7, an alarm electrically connected to the liquid level sensor will sound, prompting the water storage box 7 to be cleaned.
[0068] An exemplary embodiment of this utility model also provides a driver's cab, in which a control panel as described in any of the above embodiments is installed. The control panel is equipped with devices for monitoring the train's operating status for the driver or passengers to view.
[0069] In this implementation, the driver's cab is either a traditional driver's cab with a driver operating it, or an unmanned driver's cab that passengers can visit and the driver can check periodically, where the train is controlled or monitored through equipment in the control panel.
[0070] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention also provides a rail vehicle including the driver's cab of any of the above embodiments.
