[0002] Laminated glass window system, car body and track-guided vehicle for passenger transport

[0003] The invention relates to a laminated glass window system for a rail-guided vehicle for passenger transport.

[0004] Furthermore, the invention relates to a car body comprising at least one such laminated glass window system.

[0005] Furthermore, the invention relates to a track-guided vehicle comprising at least such a laminated glass window system or such a car body.

[0006] Windows in track-guided vehicles, such as rail vehicles or magnetic levitation trains, are often made of laminated glass.

[0007] In addition to at least two layers of glass, laminated glass panes have a further layer made of plastic, cast resin or a highly tear-resistant, tough, elastic, thermoplastic composite film.

[0008] Side windows are usually attached to the car body by means of adhesive. Specific environmental conditions and trained personnel are required for replacement. Curing times must also be taken into account. When clamped windows are used, the clamping rubber either builds up against the car body or a recess is created. A known method is used in which the windows are screwed into the car body and then the screw strip is covered with adhesive. For this purpose, the threads are made in the side wall of the car body and the window frames have corresponding holes. In the known solution described above, threads from screw connections were made in the side wall of the shell. Due to the component dimensions, maintaining close tolerances is complex. Faulty holes have to be welded and then redone in the heat-affected zone.

[0009] When replacing windows, the glued seal is cut out of the joint to allow for the window replacement. The adhesive must be removed from the screw heads to create space for the tool. If the anti-corrosive coating of the car body is damaged during the removal process, this can lead to corrosion on the car body and negatively impact the car's structural stability.

[0010] Based on this, the object of the invention is to create a laminated glass window system of the type mentioned at the beginning, which allows a simpler replacement of a laminated glass pane.

[0011] This object is achieved according to the invention by the laminated glass window system according to claim 1.

[0012] According to the invention, a laminated glass window system is provided, in particular for a car body of a rail-guided vehicle for transporting people, comprising a laminated glass pane and a frame for receiving the laminated glass pane. The frame has a first frame and a second frame, the laminated glass pane is connected to the first frame, and the second frame is detachably connected to the first frame. According to the invention, a car body is also provided, in particular for a rail-guided vehicle for transporting people, comprising at least one laminated glass window system of this type or further developed as described below, and at least one opening designed to receive the laminated glass window system.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the invention, a track-guided vehicle is provided, comprising at least one laminated glass window system such as this or further developed as described below, or one car body such as this or further developed as described below.

[0014] The track-guided vehicle for passenger transport may preferably be a rail vehicle.

[0015] According to the invention, a laminated glass window system is provided that can be replaced quickly using simple means and by personnel who do not require any special additional qualifications.

[0016] Furthermore, it can be provided that a laminated glass window is installed flush with the outer contour of the car body.

[0017] Compared to an entire car body, small components such as the first frame and the second frame can be manufactured to tight tolerances. In the event of defects or wear, these components can be easily replaced.

[0018] It can be provided that the laminated glass panes can be arranged flush in the car body. Furthermore, the first frame can be arranged flush in the second frame. Furthermore, the second frame can be arranged flush with the car body. The laminated glass window system is preferably arranged flush in the car body.

[0019] The first frame and the second frame can be designed in such a way that they extend to the outer contour of the car body and thus result in a defined sealing surface that is independent of the contour of the car body and laminated glass pane components.

[0020] In a further development of the laminated glass window system, it can be provided that the laminated glass pane is connected to the first frame in a materially bonded manner, preferably by a first adhesive connection.

[0021] This provides a reliable connection between the laminated glass pane and the first frame, which allows the first frame together with the laminated glass pane to be designed as a module.

[0022] In a further development of the laminated glass window system, it can be provided that the second frame and the first frame are connected via a plurality of positive and / or non-positive connections, in particular screw connections.

[0023] The laminated glass pane can be inserted into the car body from the outside using the first frame and is preferably attached to the second frame using screw connections.

[0024] This creates a connection between the first frame and the second frame, allowing the first frame to be detached from the second frame without causing any damage. Compared to machining an entire car body, holes and threads can be drilled into the first frame and the second frame with minimal deviations. In the event of defects or wear, these components can be easily replaced.

[0025] The invention makes it possible to precisely manufacture the first frame and the second frame with holes and threads on a machining center. This makes machining significantly easier than on the car body, and inspection is possible in advance. Even with faulty drilling patterns, the first frame or the second frame can be easily replaced without costly repairs to the car body.

[0026] In a further development of the laminated glass window system, it can further be provided that the first frame has a first extension region with a first contact surface and the laminated glass pane is materially connected to the first contact surface of the first extension region.

[0027] This provides a defined area and a reliable connection which is designed to connect the laminated glass pane to the first frame.

[0028] Furthermore, in a design of the laminated glass window system, it can be provided that the second frame has a third extension region with a third contact surface, and the third contact surface of the third extension region is designed for a material-to-material connection, preferably with a second adhesive connection, to the car body. This provides a defined region and a reliable connection, which are designed to connect the second frame to the car body.

[0029] In a further development, the laminated glass window system can further provide that the first frame has a second extension region with a second contact surface and the second frame has a fourth extension region with a fourth contact surface, wherein the second contact surface of the first frame rests on the fourth contact surface of the second frame with the interposition of a secondary seal.

[0030] This creates defined contact surfaces between the first frame and the second frame. Furthermore, it is possible to create a secondary seal between these contact surfaces to reduce the possibility of water ingress.

[0031] The secondary seal is preferably designed as a surface seal.

[0032] Furthermore, the laminated glass window system can provide that the plurality of detachable positive and / or non-positive connections, in particular screw connections, are formed in the region of the second extension region of the first frame and the fourth extension region of the second frame.

[0033] This ensures that the detachable positive and / or non-positive connections, in particular screw connections, are formed between the first frame and the second frame, so that the car body is not impaired by the connections. Should wear occur, it is possible to replace the first frame or the second frame. Furthermore, in a further development of the laminated glass window system, it can be provided that the first frame has a first side part with a second side surface and the second frame has a second side part with a fourth side surface, wherein the second side surface of the first frame faces the fourth side surface of the second frame, and wherein a primary seal is formed between the second side surface of the first frame and the fourth side surface of the second frame.

[0034] This provides an arrangement that allows for a primary seal to be provided between the first frame and the second frame. If the primary seal needs to be removed, this can be done without leaving adhesive residue on the screw head or causing damage to the car body.

[0035] The primary seal can be glued between the fourth side surface of the second frame and the second side surface of the first frame. Gluing the primary seal to the car body is therefore no longer necessary.

[0036] Furthermore, in the design of the laminated glass window system, it can be provided that the first frame has a web and / or the first frame and the second frame each have a bead for providing a defined insertion depth of the primary seal.

[0037] Furthermore, the laminated glass window system can provide that the first frame has an L-shaped region formed from the first side part and the first extension region, wherein the laminated glass pane is materially connected, preferably by a first adhesive connection, to the L-shaped region of the first frame. This provides a defined region which is designed to receive the laminated glass pane and encloses it, ensuring that the laminated glass pane is received flush in the first frame.

[0038] It can further be provided that the second frame has an L-shaped region which is formed from the second side part and the third extension region, wherein the L-shaped region is designed for the material-fit connection, preferably by the second adhesive connection, to the car body.

[0039] This creates a defined area designed for connecting the second frame to the car body. The second frame is mounted flush with the corresponding opening in the car body.

[0040] Preferably, the first frame is an inner frame and the second frame is an outer frame.

[0041] In a further development of the car body, it can be provided that the second frame has a third extension area with a third contact surface and the third contact surface of the third extension area is connected to the car body with a material-fit connection, preferably a second adhesive connection.

[0042] This provides a defined contact surface for connecting the second frame to the car body, which enables flush installation of the second frame in the car body.

[0043] Furthermore, in a further development of the car body, it can be provided that the second frame has an L-shaped region which is formed from the second side part and the second extension region, wherein the L-shaped region is connected to the car body in a materially bonded manner, preferably by an adhesive connection.

[0044] This creates a defined contact surface for the second frame, which allows centering on the one hand and contact of the second frame on the car body on the other.
