Description

TECHNICAL FIELDThe invention relates to a rail vehicle car with adjustable compartment partitioning to separate a first seat area from a second seat area.BACKGROUND ARTTo improve comfort, the interior of rail vehicle cars is often divided in order to create separate compartments. This allows different comfort areas to be created, for example small compartments in which the passengers are at rest under themselves or larger compartments in which value is placed on efficient utilization of the available space. Mixed concepts are often also offered in which, in addition to a wide area passenger area, an area with separate smaller compartments is also provided in a rail vehicle car.For the division of the rail vehicle car and for separating the individual compartments from one another, typically permanently installed inner walls with door are installed. For reasons of space, sliding doors are often used. The aim of these solutions is to create permanently separated, separate compartments.Another approach is to only partially separate individual areas, in particular without doors. The separated region has a permanently open access, but is otherwise separated from other regions by separating walls which assume the function of a protection against view and possibly lead to a certain acoustic separation of the individual regions.An example of this is described in EP 0 675 031 A1. The solution there comprises a self-supporting room divider which is arranged in particular laterally between a seat for passengers and a hallway running in the longitudinal direction of a rail vehicle car. The room divider thus disconnects the seat from the corridor and ensures a certain privacy.A further solution is described in DE 197 14 842 B4. By means of a modular separating wall, individual regions, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle car, can be partially separated from one another. The modular partition is replaceable and therefore allows for seasonal refitting of the rail vehicle car. In this case, double seat banks are simultaneously replaced by folding seat seating.CN 107 776 599 A discloses a seat partition in which an individual seat is partially surrounded by a fixed wall and thereby forms a separated region. DE 10 2016 207 519 A1 describes the separation of individual regions by sliding doors, with which passages can be closed. On the other hand, DE 10 2017 117 046 A1 discloses how seat groups can be displaced in order to enable different seat arrangements.Furthermore, in contrast to the above permanent partitions, mobile solutions are also known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,732,814 describes the use of curtains to separate individual seating areas from one another in the longitudinal direction. In contrast, U.S. Pat. No. 2,632,408 A discloses the use of curtains for separating individual seat areas both in the longitudinal direction from one another and towards the passageway as required. Curtains or other lightweight visual separations for use in aircraft are also described in WO 2016 / 164 564 A1 and U.S. Pat. No. 2017 / 0 009 504 A1.A likewise temporary solution using hoods is described in EP 3 309 072 A1. In order to separate an individual seat, a collapsible hood can be placed over the seat and fastened to the seat by means of, for example, hook and loop connections.Even if the prior art solutions are in some cases satisfactory results, there is a need for a distinct improvement. Thus, for example, the "hood solution" known from EP 3 309 072 A1 must be considered impractical. Although the use of curtains is easy to install, it does not provide a good optical and acoustic separation of the individual seating areas from each other. In addition, the risk of curtains being accidentally torn off by passengers or remaining caught on the carried luggage when passing through the corridor is comparatively high. The solution described in DE 197 14 842 B4, on the other hand, is relatively complicated and requires a modification in a web-working facility (depot) or even in a repair facility.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a rail vehicle car in which, if required, the interior space can be divided into individual seat regions in a robust manner by simple means.SOLUTION ACCORDING TO THE INVENTIONThis object is achieved by a rail vehicle car according to claim 1 or according to claim 10.According to one embodiment, a rail vehicle car with adjustable compartment partitioning is provided, which has a large-capacity passenger area with an inner floor, an inner ceiling, and a plurality of passenger seats. The rail vehicle car has at least one partition wall element, which is arranged displaceably along at least one rail and a further rail, for temporarily separating a seat region from an adjacent seat region or from an aisle between passenger seats. The rail is arranged on the inner ceiling. The further rail runs along the inner floor.By means of the displaceably arranged partition wall element, a wide area passenger area can easily be divided into individual seat areas. The subdivision can be adapted flexibly in this case, so that a single separated seat region comprises, for example, only a single passenger seat, only two passenger seats, or a plurality of passenger seats, for example four passenger seats. The seat region separated by the partition wall element can also be referred to as a temporary compartment.By guiding the partition wall member through the rails, the individual seating areas can be easily and securely divided. The rails serve for guiding the partition wall element during its movement and optionally also for fixing the partition wall element after it has been brought to its intended location.According to an expedient development of the invention, at least one carriage arranged on the partition element is provided for connecting the partition element to the rail or the further rail, said carriage being mounted on the corresponding rail. Between the rail and the carriage, a slide bearing and / or a roller bearing can be provided. The partition wall element can be movably, in particular rotatably, connected to the partition wall element.In order to displace the partition wall element and separate or release a seat region, no greater assembly effort is required. In particular, the partition wall element is merely displaced, but not completely removed. It therefore remains in the rail vehicle car. For example, the partition element can be locked on the rail by suitable releasable locking connections. After releasing locking connections, the partition element can be displaced along the rails. For re-fixing the partition wall element, the locking connection is locked again.The locking connection is preferably formed by a locking member and a locking member receptacle, which produce a positive fit between a slide arranged on the partition wall element and the rail. For example, the blocking element can be formed by a bolt mounted on the carriage, preferably so as to be displaceable in a direction running substantially transversely to the longitudinal extent of the rail. The locking member receptacle can be formed by at least one opening in the rail. In order to fix the partition wall element, the blocking member is displaced into the blocking member receptacle in a provided position of the carriage in which the blocking member and the blocking member receptacle are arranged opposite one another. In order to be able to fix the partition wall in different positions along the rail, a plurality of locking member receptacles are preferably provided along the rail.One advantage of the solution described herein is that the partition wall element or the partition wall elements, if a plurality of partition wall elements are used to separate a seat region, are carried along in the rail vehicle car, even if the partition wall element(s) is not used to separate the seat region. As a result, it is possible that individual seat areas can also be separated during the operation of the rail vehicle car without the rail vehicle car having to be converted into a railway operating unit or even a repair unit.For example, the train personnel can convert by displacing the partition wall elements during a stop at a railway station, so that individual requirements and desires of the passengers can be dealt with. In addition, a separate seat compartment can also be offered as a booking option by the operator of the rail vehicle car. The adaptation of the seat areas, i.e. the provision of a requested separate and separated seat area, can then take place shortly before use by the train personnel. A further change can then take place as required during the traction operation.The adaptation of the seat areas, i.e. the individual separation, is preferably carried out by the train personnel and not by the passengers. For this purpose, it can be provided that the locking connections can only be released and re-actuated by a special tool, for example by a special key. This prevents unauthorized conversion.According to an embodiment which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the rail vehicle car furthermore has a sliding door which is arranged displaceably on the partition wall element.In addition to the partition wall element, which is displaced for separating a seat region and is then suitably fixed there, a sliding door can also be provided, which also serves for separating the seat region. The sliding door is fastened to the partition wall element and can be displaced relative to the latter. For example, the partition element can conceal the region next to a seat, while the sliding door fastened to the partition element conceals access to the seat region. In contrast to the partition wall element, which can preferably be displaced and fixed only by the traction personnel, the sliding door can be actuated by the passengers.During the conversion, the sliding door can be carried along by the partition wall to which it is connected, for example. The sliding door and the partition are therefore stored together. To separate the seat area, the partition wall is then moved together with the sliding door. After the partition has been fixed, access to the seat region separated by the partition can then be closed or opened as required.The rail is arranged on the inner ceiling and can run along the inner ceiling, but can be fixed to the cheek box via a carrier. The further rail runs along the inner floor. The partition element is guided by the rail on the inner ceiling and by the further rail along the inner floor. Thus, the stability of the partition wall member is improved. The rail on the inner ceiling and along the inner floor may extend in the longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle car or in the transverse direction of the rail vehicle car. The two rails run parallel to one another.The rail running on the inner ceiling can be connected directly to the car body via a structural element and fixed to the latter. The inner ceiling often does not have the necessary stability, in particular if it is configured only as a cladding element, in order to absorb the forces occurring during the displacement and for secure fixing of the partition wall element.The partition element is guided by at least two rails. These rails may be referred to as upper and lower rails. The upper rail is secured to the inner ceiling. The lower rail, on the other hand, is fastened to the inner floor.Moreover, according to an embodiment which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, it is provided that the one or the two rails is fastened to the inner ceiling and / or the inner floor by means of a suitable carrier element. Such a carrier element can be, for example, a permanently installed partition wall element which extends, for example, from the inside floor to the luggage carrier and is fastened both to the inside floor and to the luggage carrier. Alternatively, the carrier element, for example in the form of a fixedly installed partition wall element, can also be fixed to the passenger seat and the inner ceiling. In principle, any combination is possible.According to an embodiment, which can be suitably combined with other embodiments described herein, the rail vehicle car has at least two separate partition wall elements, which are displaceable together or independently of one another along the rails for temporarily separating the seat region. By providing at least two partition wall elements, for example, a larger seat area can be separated. Typically, the two partition members are supported by the same rail. Alternatively, it is possible for two rails running parallel to one another to be provided, wherein a separate rail is fastened for each partition wall element to the inner ceiling, to the inner floor, to the luggage rack, or to the passenger seat.Alternatively, it is possible for the separate rails to extend at an angle to one another and, as a result, for the two partition wall elements not to be displaced or pivoted parallel to one another.According to an embodiment, which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the seat region separable by the partition element or elements comprises a single passenger seat, two passenger seats, or four passenger seats. In principle, the size of the detachable seat region is arbitrary. Preferably, however, smaller seating areas are provided which comprise only a small number of passenger seats.According to an embodiment that can be suitably combined with other embodiments described herein, at least one of the passenger seats is rotatable within the detachable seating area. If, for example, two passenger seats are arranged one behind the other, which face in the same direction with their seat position, one of the two passenger seats can be rotated when the seat region is separated, such that the two passenger seats have a seat position facing one another within the separated seat region. As a result, a seating area (or a temporary compartment) can be created as required, in which the passengers can communicate better with one another.According to an embodiment, which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the at least one partition wall element is movable between a first position, in which the partition wall element is stowed, and a second position, in which the partition wall element separates the seat region, wherein the first position can be one of the following:between a passenger seat and a luggage rack arranged within the large-area passenger area,between a passenger seat and a wall adjacent thereto,between a luggage rack arranged within the large space passenger area and a wall adjacent to the luggage rack,as a sliding door of a luggage rack arranged within the large-area passenger area,in wall pockets formed adjacent to toilets or cabinets.In principle, any position in the rail vehicle car for stowage of the partition wall elements is conceivable. Preferably, however, those positions are provided which are located in the immediate vicinity of the detachable seat region.In the first position, the partition wall element or elements can be arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the rail vehicle car. For transferring into the second position, the partition wall element or elements can then be first displaced and then pivoted, so that in the second position the partition wall element or elements are oriented parallel to the longitudinal extension. It is also possible that in the second position only some of the partition wall elements are arranged parallel to the longitudinal extension of the rail vehicle car, while others are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the rail vehicle car. An arrangement parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car essentially serves to separate the seat region from the corridor. In contrast, an arrangement perpendicular to the longitudinal extent serves substantially to bring about a separation between seating regions adjacent in the longitudinal extent.According to an embodiment which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the rail vehicle car furthermore has a luggage rack with a variably adjustable width arranged within the large-area passenger area in order to adjust the space available for the detachable seat area as required. This allows for more space to be created for families or persons with disability who require more space, for example.According to an embodiment, which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the passenger seat or seats are arranged displaceably within the detachable seat region. If, for example, the luggage rack is equipped with a variably adapted width and the passenger seats arranged next to this luggage rack can be displaced, more space can be created within the detachable seat region by reducing the width of the luggage rack and displacing one or more passenger seats.According to an embodiment which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the at least one partition wall element is connected to the corresponding rail via a pivot bearing, wherein the pivot bearing is displaceable along the rail, such that the partition wall element is both pivotable and displaceable. This further increases flexibility and permits separation of seating areas into various configurations.According to one embodiment, a rail vehicle car with adjustable compartment partitioning is provided. The rail vehicle car has a wide area passenger area with an inner floor, an inner ceiling, and a plurality of passenger seats. In the rail vehicle car, at least one roller blind is provided for temporarily separating a seat region from an adjacent seat region or from an aisle between passenger seats, wherein the roller blind is a vertically movable roller blind and is guided by at least one vertically running rail.In contrast to the partition wall element described above, the separation is effected by a roller blind. It is also possible in principle that a separated seat region can be created by a suitable combination of a displaceably arranged partition wall element and a roller blind.A roller blind has the advantage that it can be stored in a relatively space-saving manner when not in use. In addition, a roller blind can also follow different geometries to a certain extent. For example, a roller blind can be guided obliquely in a first section and vertically in a second section. The space available can thus be better utilized.The roller blind can be a vertically derollable roller blind and is guided by at least one vertically running rail.According to an embodiment which can be combined suitably with other embodiments described herein, the roller blind is fastened to the inner ceiling, or to a luggage carrier arranged above the passenger seats, or to a luggage rack arranged within the large-capacity passenger area. For the roller blinds, fastening to basically any desired internal devices of the rail vehicle car is also conceivable.FIGURESThe invention is explained in more detail below with reference to embodiments, without these being intended to restrict the scope of protection defined by the claims.The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention. The elements of the drawings are relative to each other and not necessarily to scale. Like reference numerals designate like parts, respectively. FIGS. 1A to 1D show cross sections through a rail vehicle car having one or more partition wall elements which are guided over rails fastened to different interior devices of the rail vehicle car. FIGS. 2A to 2D show various embodiments for forming seating regions. FIGS. 3A and 3B show further embodiments for forming seat areas using partition elements which are both slidable and pivotable. FIGS. 4A and 4B show further embodiments of how individual seat regions can be separated by displaceable and pivotable separating wall elements. FIGS. 5A to 5D show cross sections through a rail vehicle car with one or more roller blinds attached to various interior devices of the rail vehicle car. FIG. 6 shows embodiments for separating individual seat regions by roller blinds. FIGS. 7 and 8 show embodiments using vertical and horizontal roller blinds.EMBODIMENTSFIGS. 1A to 1D show cross sections through a rail vehicle car having one or more partition wall elements which are guided over rails fastened to different interior devices of the rail vehicle car.The rail vehicle car 100 has a car body 110, which in modern rail vehicle cars is typically a self-supporting car body. This can be made of extruded profiles welded or also partially glued together. The extruded profiles also form the outer termination of the rail vehicle car. Alternatively, the car body may comprise a self-supporting frame with cladding elements mounted on the outside. The specific configuration of the carriage body is, however, irrelevant for the present invention.The rail vehicle car 100 furthermore has an inner floor 112 and an inner ceiling 111. Typically, both the inner floor 112 and the inner ceiling 111 are not formed by the self-supporting car body, but are structural elements which are fastened to the car body. The inner ceiling 111 is often configured merely as an inner lining which does not have any load-bearing structures. However, it is also possible for the inner ceiling 111 to be formed as a self-supporting structure, thereby enabling further inner devices to be fastened to the inner ceiling 111.In the cross section in FIGS. 1A to 1D, passenger seats 113, 114 spaced apart from one another by a central passage 116 can be seen. These can be separated from the central duct 116 as required by one or more separating wall elements 120.In this regard, FIG. 1A shows an embodiment which is not claimed per se, in which the partition wall element 120 is movably fastened along a rail 181 (upper rail) which is fixed to an end of a luggage rack 115 pointing toward the central passage 116. The luggage rack 115 is fastened to the car body 110 above the passenger seat 113. In addition, another rail 182 (lower rail) is provided along the inner floor 112 that guides the lower end of the partition member 120.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a seating area with only one passenger seat 113 is separated by the partition wall element 120. On the opposite side of the passageway 116, the passenger seats 114 are, however, not separable.In contrast, FIG. 1B shows an embodiment in which a sliding door 170 is guided along two rails 181, 182 which are fastened to a partition wall element 121. The partition member 121 is slidably attached to the package tray 115 and the inner ceiling 111. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the partition wall element 121 is fastened to the inner ceiling 111 and to the luggage rack 115 and extends from the inner ceiling 111 to approximately the height of the armrest of the passenger seat 113. If the inner ceiling 111 is merely a trim element, the rail with which the partition wall element 121 is mounted on the rail vehicle car is fixed to the ceiling of the car body 110 via a bracket.Alternatively, it is possible that the partition wall member 121 is not slidable. In this case, the partition wall member 121 constitutes a fixedly installed partition wall member and serves as a support member 160 for a slidable partition wall member 121. This alternative embodiment is indicated by the reference numerals shown in the brackets in FIG. 1B.On the opposite side of the corridor 116, on the other hand, according to one embodiment, a partition element 122 is shown, which is guided by an upper rail 181 fixed to the inner ceiling 111 and a lower rail 182 fixed to the inner floor 112. Here, too, it is possible for a sliding door to be held by the partition wall member 122. The displaceable partition wall element 122 separates a seating region with two adjacent passenger seats 113. In contrast, the partition wall element 121 separates a seating region with only one passenger seat 113.FIG. 1C shows an embodiment in which a seat region, in the specific embodiment shown here comprising only one passenger seat 113, is separated by a displaceable separating wall element 123, which extends from the inner ceiling 111 to the inner floor 112 and is guided there by respective rails 181, 182, which are fixed to these structural elements or are connected to the car body 110 via corresponding holders. On the opposite side of the passageway 116, a slidable partition 124 is also shown extending from the inner deck 111 to the inner floor 112. However, this is angled approximately at the height of the lower edge of the luggage rack 115 and is inclined in the direction of the luggage rack 115. Therefore, the rail 181 fixed to the inner ceiling 111 is arranged laterally offset with respect to the rail 182 fixed to the inner floor 112, as seen in the cross section of FIG. 1C.In contrast, the partition wall element 123, like the partition wall elements 120, 121 and 122, is substantially straight, so that its upper and lower rails 181, 182 are arranged one above the other without a substantial lateral offset.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1D and not claimed per se, the partition element 125 is guided at its upper end by an upper rail 181 fixed at the end of the luggage rack 115 facing the aisle. The bulkhead member 125 is also angled such that the lower rail 182 secured to the inner floor 112 is laterally offset from the upper rail 181.FIGS. 2A to 2D show various embodiments for forming seat regions and for storing the displaceable partition wall elements, provided they are not used for separating individual seat regions.Specifically, various positions for storing the slidable bulkhead members are shown in FIG. 2A. In the solution shown at S 1, the partition elements are stored between passenger seats and a luggage rack. It is also possible, but not shown in FIG. 2A, for the partition wall element or elements to be arranged between passenger seats and adjacent walls if the partition wall elements are not used for separating seat regions. A further possibility indicated by S 3 is to accommodate the partition wall element or elements 120, optionally with sliding doors 170, between a luggage rack and an inner wall of the rail vehicle car. Alternatively, the partition wall element or elements 120 can also be used as a sliding door for a luggage rack if the partition wall elements 120 are not currently being used for separating seat regions. This is indicated at S 4. Another possibility is for one or more partition elements to be accommodated in wall pockets which are located adjacent to toilets or luggage racks. This is indicated at S 5.In FIGS. 2B to 2D, A shows the formation of separated seat regions in which the individual passenger seats are arranged one behind the other and have the same orientation of the seat position. By contrast, B denotes seat regions with an arrangement in which the seat position of the passenger seats faces one another. For this arrangement, the passenger seats may be rotatable to pass from arrangement A to arrangement B. On the other hand, C denotes an arrangement in which the size of a seating area can be changed by adjusting the width of a luggage rack 140 adjacent to the seating area. In this arrangement C, the width of the luggage rack 140 can be changed, for example, by suitable telescopic elements. In addition, the passenger seats can be displaceable in order to increase the distance between the passenger seats. The change in the seat distance can be seen in particular in the right-hand part of FIGS. 2B and 2C. In principle, the different arrangements can be combined with one another, which is indicated in FIGS. 2B to 2D by A+C and B+C.FIGS. 3A and 3B show further embodiments for forming seat areas using partition elements which are both slidable and pivotable.Here, the partition wall elements 120 may be stored, for example, between the passenger seats or between the passenger seats and luggage shelves 140. In this case, the partition wall elements 120 are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car. This is shown in FIG. 3A. There, the partition wall elements are arranged in a first position (stowage position). In order to separate the seat regions, in particular toward the passageway 160, the partition wall elements 120 are first displaced from their stowage position toward the passageway 160 and then pivoted, so that they are arranged parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car. The partition wall elements 120 are thus transferred into their second position. This is shown in FIG. 3B.Specifically, this is shown once again in FIGS. 4A and 4B. A partition wall element 126, which is arranged in a first position perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car and is located behind a passenger seat, is first displaced from this position in the direction of the aisle. When the partition wall element 126 has been pulled out sufficiently far, the end of the partition wall element 126 facing the aisle is pivoted counter to the seat position of the passenger seat until it is arranged parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car. This pivoting is indicated in FIG. 4A by the arrow to A. Finally, the partition wall element 126 is displaced in the longitudinal extension of the rail vehicle car until it is arranged next to the passenger seat.This displacement is indicated by the arrow to B. The partition wall element 126 is thus transferred into its second position. The end of the partition wall element 126 facing the pathway in the first position thus remains substantially at the same location even in the second position. The pivoting can be made possible via a pivot joint which is arranged at the end of the partition wall element which points away from the duct in the first position.Alternatively, the pivoting can also take place along a rail which is bent accordingly. It is likewise possible for the end pointing toward the passageway to be led out of a rail running behind the passenger seat at first, without the other end leaving the rail. By pivoting the partition element, the end still located in the rail is then transferred into a rail running parallel to the channel and the "loose" end is then pushed into this rail by displacing the partition element 126.In contrast, FIG. 4B shows a variant in which the partition wall element 127 is initially likewise arranged behind the passenger seat in the first position. Here too, the partition wall element 127 is initially displaced perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle in the direction of the aisle, but then pivoted with its end pointing towards the aisle in the direction of the seating position of the passenger seat until it is arranged parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rail vehicle car. In this variant, the pivot joint is arranged at the end of the partition wall element 127 which is on the side facing away from the duct.In both variants shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the respective partition wall element is thus displaced and pivoted.FIGS. 5A to 5D show cross sections through a rail vehicle car with one or more roller blinds attached to various interior devices of the rail vehicle car.Instead of partition wall elements, which are designed as rigid elements, roller blinds 150, which can be vertically displaceable roller blinds, can also be used. FIGS. 5A to 5D show vertically displaceable roller blinds. These can likewise be fastened either to the inner ceiling 111 or to the luggage rack 115. See FIGS. 5A and 5B. In addition, it is possible for the roller blinds 150 to be guided by rails which have partial sections arranged at an angle to one another. This is shown in FIGS. 5C and 5D.FIG. 6 shows embodiments for separating individual seat regions by horizontally displaceable roller blinds.FIGS. 7 and 8 show embodiments using vertical and horizontal roller blinds. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the roller blind 150 can be fastened to the luggage carrier 115 and guided by two rails which have two partial sections running at an angle to one another. The upper section extends substantially horizontally, while the second section extends substantially vertically.
