Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of public transportation technology, and more specifically, to a split-type in-vehicle handrail. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] In public transportation vehicles such as rail transit vehicles and buses, standing passengers typically rely on suspended handrails inside the carriage to maintain their balance. Current suspended handrails usually employ a single suspended design, generally fixed to a horizontal bar on the roof of the vehicle.

[0004] However, due to the limited number of handrails in the carriage, the single-suspension handrail design has at least the following drawbacks: When there are few passengers and the moving vehicle shakes significantly, the longitudinal impact from the vehicle is more pronounced. At this time, it is difficult for passengers to reliably maintain their balance by holding onto a single handrail, and they are prone to losing stability due to the vehicle's shaking, increasing the risk of falling or collision. When there are many passengers and the moving vehicle shakes significantly, although the longitudinal impact from the vehicle on a single passenger will be significantly reduced due to the cushioning effect of other passengers, since a single handrail can only be used by one passenger, some passengers will still be unable to stand steadily because they have no handrail to hold onto.

The terms "first," "second," and similar words as used in this specification and claims do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms "an" or "a," and similar words, do not necessarily indicate a limitation on quantity.

[0039] An embodiment of this utility model provides a split-type in-vehicle handrail, applicable to public transportation vehicles, especially rail transit vehicles, for passengers to hold onto to maintain their balance.

[0040] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the structure of the split-type vehicle armrest disclosed in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the split-type vehicle body handrail is used on the crossbar 100 inside the carriage of a public transportation vehicle. The handrail may include a first handrail component 10, a second handrail component 20, and a connecting structure 30.

[0041] The first handrail member 10 may include a first grip portion 11 and a first connecting arm 12. The first grip portion 11 is adapted for a passenger to hold and may have a generally cylindrical structure. Furthermore, the first grip portion 11 is hinged to the crossbar 100 via the first connecting arm 12, such that the first grip portion 11 can be rotated about a first horizontal axis a perpendicular to the crossbar 100 (see...). Figure 1 Rotate.

[0042] The second handrail member 20 is disposed adjacent to the first handrail member 10. The second handrail member 20 may include a second grip portion 21 and a second connecting arm 22. The second grip portion 21 is also adapted for passenger gripping and may have a generally cylindrical structure. Furthermore, the second grip portion 21 is hinged to the crossbar 100 via the second connecting arm 22, so that the second grip portion 21 can be rotated about a second horizontal axis b perpendicular to the crossbar 100 (see...). Figure 1 Rotate.

[0043] The first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21 are detachably connected via a connecting structure 30. When the first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21 are connected, they together form an integral gripping component for the passenger to hold. Figure 2 .

[0044] According to an embodiment of this utility model, by setting a connecting structure 30 to construct the gripping parts of two adjacent handrail components into a detachable structure, when passenger flow is sparse, the first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21 can be selectively connected to form a double-support stable handrail. Compared with a single-suspension handrail design, this effectively improves the stability when passengers grip the handrail. Correspondingly, when passenger flow is high, the longitudinal impact from vehicles on passengers is significantly reduced, and each handrail component can be used as a handrail individually for more passengers to grip. This design allows the handrail to switch arbitrarily between "single-person stable grip" and "multiple-person shared use," effectively solving the technical contradiction that traditional handrails cannot balance stability and efficiency.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connection structure 30 may include a slot 31 and a latching part 32. The slot 31 is disposed on the first gripping part 11. The latching part 32 is disposed on the second gripping part 21 and is adapted to the slot 31, so that the latching part 32 can be latched and connected to the slot 31.

[0046] By using a snap-fit ​​structure consisting of a slot 31 and a snap-fit ​​part 32 as the connection structure 30, it is beneficial to simplify the connection and separation process of the first grip part 11 and the second grip part 21, making the use of the handrail more convenient.

[0047] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slot 31 extends through both ends of the first gripping part 11 in the axial direction. Simultaneously, the slot 31 is provided with an inlet / outlet 311 that penetrates the circumferential outer wall of the first gripping part 11, allowing the engaging part 32 to enter and exit the slot 31. This design facilitates further improvement in the ease of connection between the first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21 via the connecting structure 30.

[0048] In some possible embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 32 is the second grip portion 21. That is, the second grip portion 21 can be directly used as the snap-fit ​​portion 32 to simplify the structure of the handrail as much as possible. Furthermore, the axial length of the second grip portion 21 is greater than the axial length of the slot 31 to improve the structural strength of the integrated grip member formed by the connection of the first grip portion 11 and the second grip portion 21, and to facilitate the hinged connection of the second grip portion 21 to the crossbar 100 via the second connecting arm 22.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, an anti-slip structure (not shown in the figure) may also be provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​portion 32 and / or the slot 31. The anti-slip structure may be anti-slip texture or anti-slip protrusion, etc. By providing the anti-slip structure, the friction between the snap-fit ​​portion 32 and the slot 31 can be increased when they are snapped into each other, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, the diameter of the latching portion 32 may be smaller than the diameter of the slot 31, so that when the latching portion 32 enters the slot 31, it can be completely accommodated within the slot 31 without any protrusion. This design facilitates the construction of a substantially cylindrical gripping member through the first gripping portion 11 and the second gripping portion 21 in the connected state, providing better grip for passengers.

[0051] Based on this, combined Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting structure 30 may also include a limiting sleeve 33. The limiting sleeve 33 is movably connected to the first gripping part 11, allowing it to move between a closed position of the inlet / outlet 311 and an open position of the inlet / outlet 311.

[0052] By setting the limit sleeve 33, refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the latching part 32 enters the slot 31 through the inlet and outlet 311 and is fully accommodated in the slot 31, the limiting sleeve 33 can be moved from the open position to the closed position to close the inlet and outlet 311, thereby preventing the latching part 32 from moving out of the inlet and outlet 311 and further improving the reliability of the connection between the first gripping part 11 and the second gripping part 21.

[0053] The limiting sleeve 33 can be an arc-shaped cylindrical component, and it can be coaxially arranged with the first gripping part 11. Furthermore, the limiting sleeve 33 is rotatably disposed on the circumferential outer wall of the first gripping part 11, allowing it to rotate around the axis of the first gripping part 11, thus enabling it to move between an open and closed position by rotation. This design simplifies the operation of moving the limiting sleeve 33 between the open and closed positions.

[0054] Based on this, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the circumferential outer wall of the latching portion 32 may also be provided with a protruding abutment portion 34. When the latching portion 32 enters the latching groove 31 and the limiting sleeve 33 is in the closed position, the abutment portion 34 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 33. This design helps to further enhance the structural strength of the gripping member formed by the combination of the first gripping portion 11 and the second gripping portion 21.

[0055] For example, the abutment portion 34 can be as follows: Figure 4 The two abutting portions 34 shown can be arranged opposite each other along the axial direction of the engaging portion 32. When the engaging portion 32 is the second gripping portion 21, this design not only further enhances the structural strength, but also facilitates the formation of a gripping area between the two abutting portions 34 for passengers to hold.

[0056] In some possible embodiments, in order to improve the structural strength of individual handrail components, refer to Figure 1 As shown, both the first connecting arm 12 and the second connecting arm 22 can be U-shaped. The first connecting arm 12 may include two opposing and parallel first connecting portions 121, with a first gripping portion 11 disposed between the two first connecting portions 121. The second connecting arm 22 may include two opposing and parallel second connecting portions 221, with a second gripping portion 21 disposed between the two second connecting portions 221.

[0057] In some embodiments, the hinged connection between the first connecting arm 12 and the crossbar 100, and between the second connecting arm 22 and the crossbar 100, can be achieved in the manner described below, but is not limited to.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the first handrail component 10 may further include a first fixing sleeve 13 fixedly connected to the crossbar 100. A first grip portion 11 is fixedly disposed at one end of the first connecting arm 11, and the end of the first connecting arm 12 opposite to the first grip portion 11 is hingedly connected to the first fixing sleeve 13. The second handrail component 20 may further include a second fixing sleeve 23 fixedly connected to the crossbar 100. A second grip portion 21 is fixedly disposed at one end of the second connecting arm 22, and the end of the second connecting arm 22 opposite to the second grip portion 21 is hingedly connected to the second fixing sleeve 23.

[0059] The above design enables the hinged connection between each connecting arm and the crossbar 100 without compromising the structural integrity of the crossbar 100, and facilitates the overall replacement of individual handrail components.

[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
