Description

[0001] The invention relates to a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport, comprising an interior and at least one temperature control system for temperature control of the interior.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a digital twin of such a track-guided vehicle or, as described below, a further developed one.

[0003] In track-guided vehicles, such as rail vehicles, air conditioning ducts are typically used to supply the interior with conditioned air while simultaneously introducing fresh air via an air conditioning system. However, the available installation space for these air conditioning ducts is limited, making their integration into the partition walls complex and expensive.

[0004] The current state of the art in air conditioning ducts for rail vehicles shows that, due to limited installation space, these often have to be installed in a complex manner. This leads to increased costs, a reduction in the vehicle's interior space, and potentially the loss of seating capacity.

[0005] Due to increasingly demanding requirements, rail-guided passenger transport vehicles, such as rail vehicles, must meet climate comfort standards, such as EN 13129, EN 14750, etc. Complex air duct systems are increasingly required to meet these comfort standards. Particularly in areas like the entrance, the limited space makes it difficult to implement and adequately dimension air duct systems. These climate comfort standards must be verified more and more frequently at an accredited testing institute. This process involves validating previously simulated air duct systems and often requires further adjustments on-site, resulting in additional costs.

[0006] Complex air duct systems are currently being developed to meet climate comfort standards, for example, in the entry area. Often, electric convectors are installed in addition to the air duct system to heat the interior. These methods require a lot of space in the vehicle and are complex to manufacture.

[0007] Based on this, the invention aims to provide a track-guided vehicle that has a space-saving temperature control system for regulating the temperature of an interior space.

[0008] This problem is solved by the track-guided vehicle of claim 1. Furthermore, the problem is solved by the digital twin of claim 16.

[0009] Advantageous designs and further developments are the subject of the respective sub-claims.

[0010] According to the invention, a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport is provided, comprising an interior and at least one temperature control system for temperature control of the interior, wherein the temperature control system has at least one planar temperature control element.

[0011] According to the invention, a digital twin of such a track-guided vehicle or a further developed track-guided vehicle as described below is also provided, wherein the digital twin comprises a digitized image of the track-guided vehicle.

[0012] The at least one flat temperature control element is designed to heat the interior and is arranged within the track-guided vehicle.

[0013] The at least one flat temperature control element is designed to release heat into the interior or to remove it from the interior.

[0014] The at least one surface-based temperature control element is preferably designed as surface heating and / or cooling.

[0015] Preferably, the flat temperature control element is an electrically operated flat temperature control element.

[0016] The track-guided vehicle is, for example, a rail vehicle or a magnetic levitation train.

[0017] Preferably, the rail vehicle is an electric multiple unit train.

[0018] By providing at least one flat temperature control element according to the invention, it is possible to do without previous heating devices, which previously required additional installation space in the interior.

[0019] The main differences between the invention and known solutions are that part of the complex air duct system and / or additional electric convectors in the interior of the track-guided vehicle can be eliminated.

[0020] The solution according to the invention provides for efficient use of space in the track-guided vehicle.

[0021] Furthermore, the solution according to the invention is more cost-efficient than some previous solutions, since the provision of climate channels for heating or the provision of additional heaters is no longer necessary.

[0022] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the flat temperature control element is arranged on a floor and / or on the wall of the track-guided vehicle.

[0023] The arrangement of at least one flat tempering element on the floor and / or the wall ensures that no stratification problems occur during heating, as would occur if the at least one flat tempering element were arranged on the ceiling.

[0024] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the temperature control system for regulating the temperature of the interior includes a ventilation and air conditioning system designed for ventilating and air conditioning the interior.

[0025] This ensures that the interior can be ventilated and / or air-conditioned, and that, in addition to temperature, the relevant room air parameters such as humidity, CO2 content or VOC mixed gas concentration can be maintained.

[0026] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the ventilation and air conditioning system does not have any heating air ducts.

[0027] This saves space for the heating air conditioning ducts.

[0028] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the ventilation and air conditioning system is only set up to heat outside air up to a target interior air temperature.

[0029] The air conditioning system's heating element can then only be used to warm the outside air to a maximum of the room temperature / indoor air setpoint temperature, and this warm air is then circulated into the room to allow for air circulation. Only the ceiling ducts are used for this purpose, supplying the room with fresh air. If the outside air temperature is higher than the room temperature, there is a risk of stratification occurring in the room when warm air is supplied from above.

[0030] This eliminates the need for additional heaters in the ventilation and air conditioning system, resulting in a compact and cost-effective design. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for additional ventilation ducts for the heated air, which typically direct heated air towards the vehicle floor when it is distributed via ducts.

[0031] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the interior is free of convection heaters.

[0032] This results in additional free space and fewer restrictions regarding the interior design of the rail-guided vehicle. In particular, the fabric heaters located at the wall-to-floor transition can be omitted, thus improving legroom for passengers.

[0033] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that at least one flat temperature control element is integrated into a wall cladding element, which is preferably made of a fiber composite material.

[0034] This provides a particularly space-saving option for positioning at least one flat temperature control element in a wall.

[0035] Wall cladding elements, such as wall panels, can be pre-assembled and therefore only need to be installed in the track-guided vehicle, thus reducing manufacturing effort. Furthermore, this eliminates the problem of improper manufacturing in the track-guided vehicle, which can quickly lead to damage to the air duct. Such damage can affect the entire climate control system in these areas, preventing the customer from meeting the required climate comfort standards.

[0036] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that at least one flat temperature control element is integrated into a floor structure, preferably as a layered system.

[0037] This provides a particularly space-saving option for positioning at least one flat temperature control element in a floor.

[0038] Preferably, the flat temperature control element is arranged in a floor element. Floor elements, such as floor panels, can be pre-assembled and thus only need to be inserted into the track-guided vehicle, thereby reducing manufacturing effort. Furthermore, this eliminates the problem of improper manufacturing within the track-guided vehicle, which can quickly lead to damage to the air duct. Such damage can affect the entire climate control system in these areas, preventing the customer from meeting the required climate comfort standards.

[0039] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that at least one planar temperature control element is designed as a Peltier element.

[0040] Depending on the requirements, Peltier elements can cool or heat.

[0041] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the track-guided vehicle is a double-decker vehicle, with at least one upper deck and one lower deck, wherein the upper deck has at least one passenger area and the lower deck has at least one passenger area and one entrance area.

[0042] This specifies a concrete configuration of a double-decker vehicle in which space conditions are particularly critical and the elimination of an air conditioning duct for the heating of the upper and lower decks has particularly great advantages in terms of the resulting space conditions.

[0043] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the upper floor and the lower floor each have at least one flat temperature control element.

[0044] This makes it possible to eliminate heating air ducts on both the upper and lower floors. The heating air ducts are therefore also not present in the transition area / ceiling / floor between the upper and lower floors, which offers further advantages.

[0045] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that at least one flat temperature control element is arranged in at least one passenger area of ​​the track-guided vehicle.

[0046] This allows space to be saved for heating ducts in at least one passenger area.

[0047] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that the flat temperature control element is arranged in an entrance area of ​​the track-guided vehicle.

[0048] This allows space to be saved for heating ducts in at least one entrance area where space is particularly limited.

[0049] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that the upper floor has at least one first climate zone in which at least one flat temperature control element is arranged, and the lower floor has at least one second climate zone in which at least one flat temperature control element is arranged, each of which can be individually temperature controlled.

[0050] By providing at least one primary climate zone on the upper floor and at least one secondary climate zone on the lower floor, it is possible to set different temperatures on the upper and lower floors. Furthermore, the heating output can be individually adjusted to the number of people, or the target temperature of the primary and / or secondary climate zone can be adjusted accordingly.

[0051] In the design of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that at least one flat temperature control element has a maximum surface temperature of 35°C.

[0052] This ensures that, on the one hand, the permissible surface temperature of at least one flat temperature control element is not exceeded.
