Description

Title of the invention: Public transport vehicle comprising a body configured to route strands and / or electric cables therein.

[0001] The present invention relates to a public transport vehicle car comprising a body.

[0002] In order to allow the passage of electrical cables in the car and in the vehicle, it is known to provide wiring tiles wherever cables run. Such wiring tiles are useful for protecting the cables, for the safety of operators but also for aesthetic reasons by avoiding cable tangles.

[0003] In particular, when the vehicle comprises a lead car, the lead car usually comprises a driver's cab with a front window allowing a driver to view the track on which the vehicle is traveling. Wiring slabs are arranged on uprights of the cab in the vicinity of the front window.

[0004] However, such a configuration with wiring slabs requires a significant amount of material, installation time when assembling the car, and generates a significant mass in the car.

[0005] There is therefore a need to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks while allowing the electrical cables to circulate in a public transport vehicle while preserving the safety of operators and passengers, as well as aesthetics.

[0006] To this end, the present invention relates to a public transport vehicle comprising a body, in which the body has at least one sheet provided with at least one protrusion of material configured to route strands and / or electric cables therein.

[0007] The car according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in any technically conceivable combination:

[0008] - each protrusion has a plurality of orifices allowing the passage of clamps for holding strands and / or electric cables;

[0009] - the car is a lead car comprising a driver's cab and at least one front window opening into the driver's cab and allowing a driver to view the track on which the vehicle is traveling, the front window having a perimeter being delimited by a first sheet of the body, in which the first sheet has two lateral portions extending on either side of the front window, and in which the first sheet also has at least one first outgrowth of material formed by an extension of the first sheet;

[0010] - the first sheet has a central opening for receiving the bay window front, the first sheet is flat all around the opening and extends in a plane, the first sheet having two first protrusions each extending from a lateral portion of the first sheet towards the interior of the driver's cab;

[0011] - each first outgrowth extends from a lateral portion over the entire length of said lateral portion;

[0012] - the car being a lead car comprising a driving cab and, at least a front bay window opening into the driver's cab and allowing a driver to view the track on which the vehicle is traveling, the front bay window having a perimeter being delimited by a first sheet of the body, in which the first sheet has two lateral portions extending on either side of the front bay window, the body having a roof and two lateral faces extending substantially transversely to the roof, in which the body of the leading car comprises on either side of the first sheet a second sheet for closing the driver's cab arranged between the first sheet, the roof and a lateral face of the body, each second sheet having at least one second protrusion of material formed by an extension of the second sheet;

[0013] - each second sheet has, for example, a substantially triangular shape the point of which is oriented towards the bottom of the front bay window, each second protrusion extending in the same plane as the second sheet from one side of the triangle opposite the front bay window;

[0014] - each second outgrowth extends from the side of the triangle opposite the bay front glass along the entire length of said side;

[0015] - the box is devoid of wiring slabs provided for routing cables strands and / or electrical cables.

[0016] The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising at least one car as described above.

[0017] The invention will be better understood on reading the following description, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended figures, among which:

[0018] - [Fig.l] [Fig.l] is a top view of the front of a lead vehicle car railway;

[0019] - [Fig.2] [Fig.2] is an enlarged view of a second sheet of the body of the leading car of [Fig.l] closing the driver's cab.

[0020] In the following, the terms “front”, “rear”, “outside”, “inside”, “top”, “bottom” are defined in relation to the usual direction of travel of a vehicle.

[0021] [Fig.l] shows in part a transport vehicle car 10 audience.

[0022] The public transport vehicle is, for example, a railway vehicle, or a road transport vehicle, for example guided road transport.

[0023] The public transport vehicle comprises at least two cars 10.

[0024] In particular, at least one car 10 is a lead car 10.

[0025] The car 10 extends mainly in a longitudinal direction and is capable of moving in this longitudinal direction.

[0026] The car 10 comprises, in a known manner, a body 12.

[0027] The leading car 10 has a roof 13 and two side faces 14 extending sen possibly transversely to the roof 13.

[0028] Advantageously, the body 12 of the leading car 10 is devoid of wiring slabs provided for routing strands and / or electrical cables.

[0029] The leading car 10 comprises, in a known manner, a driver's cab 15.

[0030] The leading car 10 has at least one front bay window 16 opening into the driver's cab 15 and allowing a driver to view the lane on which the vehicle is traveling.

[0031] A first sheet 18 delimits the perimeter of the front bay window 16.

[0032] The first sheet 18 has a central opening 19 for receiving the front bay window 16.

[0033] Advantageously, the first sheet 18 is made from a single piece.

[0034] The first sheet 18 is advantageously flat all around the opening 19 and extends in a plane.

[0035] The first sheet 18 has an internal face 20 oriented towards the inside of the driver's cab 15, and an external face 22 oriented towards the outside of the driver's cab 15.

[0036] The first sheet 18 has two lateral portions 23 extending on either side of the front glass bay 16.

[0037] The first sheet 18 also has at least one first protrusion (not shown) of material formed by an extension of the first sheet 18.

[0038] Each first protrusion is advantageously oriented in a plane different from the plane of the first sheet 18 all around the opening 19.

[0039] Preferably, the first sheet 18 has two first protrusions each extending from a lateral portion 23 of the first sheet 18 towards the interior of the driver's cab 15.

[0040] In particular, each first protrusion extends from a lateral portion 23 over the entire length of said lateral portion 23.

[0041] The first protrusions are arranged on either side of the front bay window 16.

[0042] Each first outgrowth has in particular a rectangular shape.

[0043] The width of each first protrusion must be sufficient to be able to place at least one strand or electric cable there, preferably a plurality of strands and / or electric cables.

[0044] The width of each first outgrowth is for example between 50 mm and 300 mm.

[0045] Each first protrusion has a plurality of orifices (not shown) allowing the passage of cable retaining collars (not shown).

[0046] Advantageously, the orifices are regularly distributed along each first protrusion, substantially parallel to the lateral portions 23.

[0047] In particular, two consecutive orifices are arranged at a distance of between 50 mm and 500 mm, preferably between 100 mm and 300 mm.

[0048] Strands and / or cables can thus be arranged along each first outgrowth and attached by means of collars holding the cables at the holes.

[0049] The wiring slab function is thus directly integrated into the body 12.

[0050] The cables include, for example, high-voltage cables conducting the current introduced via current collectors at the end of the vehicle or car to a transformer or to a drive device of the vehicle.

[0051] Each first protrusion is for example produced by bending the first sheet 18 and drilling holes allowing the passage of cable retaining collars.

[0052] In the example of [Fig. 1], the body 12 of the leading car 10 comprises on either side of the first sheet 18 a second sheet 30 for closing the driver's cab 15 arranged between the first sheet 18, the roof 13 and a side face 14 of the body 12.

[0053] Each second sheet 30 has, for example, a substantially triangular shape, the point 32 of which is oriented towards the bottom of the front bay window 16.

[0054] Each second sheet 30 also has at least one second protrusion 34 of material formed by an extension of the second sheet 30, visible in [Fig.2],

[0055] Each second protrusion 34 preferably extends in the same plane as the second sheet 30 from a side 36 of the triangle opposite the front bay window 16.

[0056] In particular, each second protrusion 34 extends from the side 36 of the triangle opposite the front bay window 16 over the entire length of said side 36.

[0057] Each second protrusion 34 has a plurality of orifices 38 allowing the passage of cable retaining collars (not shown).

[0058] Advantageously, the orifices 38 are regularly distributed along each second protrusion 34.

[0059] In particular, two consecutive orifices 38 are arranged at a distance of between 50 mm and 500 mm, preferably between 100 mm and 300 mm.

[0060] Strands and / or cables can thus be arranged along each second protrusion 34 and attached by means of collars holding the strands and / or cables at the orifices 38.

[0061] Each second protrusion 34 is for example produced by drilling orifices 36 allowing the passage of cable retaining collars.

[0062] Thanks to the second protrusion 34, it is not necessary to weld supports for holding the wiring which runs outside the driver's cab 15.

[0063] Two embodiments are described in the case of the present application, but it is understood that other sheets of the body of a car where one or more wiring slabs are usually provided for routing cables can be provided with protrusions having a plurality of orifices allowing the passage of cable retaining collars.

[0064] The absence of a wiring slab makes it possible to limit the number of parts and screws used in the assembly of the public transport vehicle car, to lighten the car, but also to save time during assembly and to ensure better welded support while retaining the same functionalities.
