Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of driverless subway cab equipment, specifically a driverless subway cab with a hidden flip-up cover structure. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, fully automated driverless subways are gradually replacing traditional non-automatic subways. The advantages of fully automated driverless subways include increased transport capacity, significantly improved system efficiency, reduced manpower, and smoother, more comfortable operation. Currently, most driverless subway driver's cabs adopt a split structure, with the control panel and instrument panel scattered on both sides, which is not conducive to operation and observation when someone takes over. The driver's cab cover cannot be hidden, and the side-opening cover obstructs the driver's view. Existing driverless subway driver's cabs use separate installation for the seat, resulting in poor space utilization, and the welded structure leads to high processing costs. Therefore, a driverless subway driver's cab with a hidden flip-up cover structure is proposed.
[0003] Therefore, a hidden flip-top cover structure for driverless subway cab is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a driver's cab for an unmanned subway with a hidden flip-up cover structure. The hidden cover structure and folding seats greatly improve space utilization.

[0009] The upper instrument compartment is located in the upper part of the platform and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the middle cabinet. A folding mechanism is provided on the rear side.
[0010] Preferably, the closing mechanism includes a cover plate, a hinge, four corner locks, a balance bar, a guide rail, and a slider.
[0011] Preferably, the guide rail is fixedly mounted on the back of the upper instrument compartment, the slider is slidably mounted above the guide rail, the hinge is fixedly mounted above the slider by screws, the cover plate is fixedly connected above the hinge by the balance bar, and a folding door handle is mounted in the middle of one side surface of the cover plate by the four corner locks.
[0012] Preferably, the upper instrument compartment is designed with a button switch panel, a side-mounted microphone bracket and a broadcast display screen mounting plate at the front, the left cabinet is fixedly installed with a fire extinguisher box, the right cabinet is installed with a main unit bracket inside, and the right cabinet is installed with a card reader cover plate on top.
[0013] Preferably, a folding seat is fixedly installed at the bottom of the middle cabinet with screws, and the distance between the folding seat and the upper instrument compartment is 550mm.
[0014] Preferably, a sealing strip is affixed to the joint between the upper instrument compartment and the cover plate, and a waterproof coating is sprayed on the outer surface, with a waterproof rating of IP54.
[0015] Preferably, the cover plate is made of carbon fiber, and the surfaces of the left and right cabinets are made of fiberglass.
[0016] Preferably, the main unit bracket is installed by riveting.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a driverless subway cab with a hidden flip-up cover structure, which has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. When in use, simply unlock the four corner locks, press the folding door handle button, and the handle will pop out automatically. Lift the cover with the handle, and when the cover reaches a certain angle, it will automatically slide down the slide rail due to gravity. After sliding down, the edge fits into the top groove, and the cover is hidden. This operation is simple and convenient, and it is also aesthetically pleasing, saving space and solving the problem of traditional covers requiring separate space.
[0019] 2. A sealing strip is installed at the edge of the upper instrument compartment. The sealing strip is pressed together with the cover plate to effectively solve the problem of waterproofing the driver's cab in the open cab and improve driving safety.
[0020] 3. The cover is made of carbon fiber, while the left and right cabinets are made of fiberglass, which meets the requirements of vehicle lightweighting at the lowest cost.
[0021] 4. The slide rails are installed in three parallel positions, and a balance bar is set at the hinge. This design avoids the problem of the cover plate getting stuck during opening and movement, and improves the smoothness of sliding.
[0022] 5. The seats feature a folding design, allowing them to be unfolded for use without the need for additional seat installation, thus improving the utilization of vehicle space. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Example:
[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The driver's cab of an unmanned subway with a hidden flip-top cover structure in this embodiment includes a cab body;
[0031] Cabinet 3 is located in the middle of the table;
[0032] Left cabinet 1 is located on the left side of the table body and is fixedly connected to the left side of the middle cabinet 3;
[0033] Right cabinet 2 is located on the right side of the table body and is fixedly connected to the right side of the middle cabinet 3;
[0034] The upper instrument compartment 4 is located in the upper middle part of the platform and is fixedly connected to the upper side of the middle cabinet 3. A retraction mechanism is provided on the rear side.
[0035] The closing mechanism includes a cover plate 5, a hinge 6, a four-corner lock 7, a balance bar 9, a guide rail 10, and a slider 11;
[0036] The guide rail 10 is fixedly installed on the back of the upper instrument compartment 4. The slider 11 is slidably installed above the guide rail 10. The hinge 6 is fixedly installed above the slider 11 by screws. The cover plate 5 is fixedly connected above the hinge 6 by the balance bar 9. A folding door handle 18 is installed in the middle of one side surface of the cover plate 5 by four corner locks 7.
[0037] The upper instrument compartment 4 is designed with a button switch panel 14, a side-mounted microphone bracket 15 and a broadcast display screen mounting plate 16 in front. The left cabinet 1 is fixedly installed with a fire extinguisher box 12. The right cabinet 2 is installed with a main unit bracket 19 inside. The right cabinet 2 is installed with a card reader cover plate 17 on top.
[0038] A folding seat 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the middle cabinet 3 with screws. The distance between the folding seat 13 and the upper instrument compartment 4 is 550mm.
[0039] A sealing strip 8 is affixed to the joint between the upper instrument compartment 4 and the cover plate 5, and a waterproof coating is sprayed on the outer surface. The waterproof rating is designed to be IP54.
[0040] The cover plate 5 is made of carbon fiber, while the surfaces of the left cabinet 1 and the right cabinet 2 are made of fiberglass.
[0041] The main unit bracket 19 is installed using a riveting method;
[0042] When maintenance or use is required, use the key to open the four-corner lock 7, press the folding door handle 18, and the door handle will pop out. At this time, hold the door handle to drive the cover plate 5 to rotate upward. When the cover plate 5 rotates to a certain angle, under the action of gravity, the cover plate 5 slides downward along the guide rail 10. Because three parallel guide rails 10 are set and the hinge 6 is connected by the balance bar 9, the cover plate 5 will not get stuck during the sliding process. After the cover plate 5 slides down, open the folding seat 13 below, which opens the driver's cab cover plate 5, allowing for operation and maintenance. When closed, the cover plate 5 is in contact with the sealing strip 8, and the outer surface is coated with a waterproof coating with a waterproof rating of IP54, which can prevent vehicle accidents caused by liquids spilled by passengers during driving. The cover plate 5 is made of carbon fiber, while the left cabinet 1 and right cabinet 2 are made of fiberglass, meeting the requirements of vehicle lightweighting at the lowest cost.
