Embodiment Construction

[0027] Fig. 1 is a modular body for a rail vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The body comprises a roof module 3 and a floor module 1 . The roof module and floor module are discrete, one-piece structural elements which, together with the modules, form a body structure. The wall module comprises a door, which then forms a door module 8 or a window 17 , which then forms a wall module 6 , 7 . The wall module or the door module comprises an upper wing 18 which protrudes in the connection area behind the adjoining module to distribute the load.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 , the modules may be mounted with internal stiffening members 19 . The stiffening members may be placed in the roof module and in the floor module to take loads between the door modules or bogies above. The stiffeners may also be installed under the windows for support and ease of seat installation.

Abstract

A carbody for a railbound vehicle of a modular construction comprising a floor module (1), a roof module (3), each forming single piece, self supporting structures, two end structures (2) and sides. The sides comprise vertical elements that are joint at the top to the roof module and at the bottom to the floor module and at the side to an adjoining vertical element or to an end structure. The vertical elements comprise wall modules (6, 7) and door modules (8). The door modules are self-supporting, structural parts mainly contributing to the cross-sectional strength of the vehicle, and the wall modules are thin, self-supporting structures and mainly contributes to the longitudinal strength of the vehicle. The door modules and said wall modules are the only structural parts of the sides. All joints are made with cold joining methods only.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a modular concept for rail vehicle bodies in which all modules are structures. Background technique [0002] Conventional rail vehicles often have a body structure that includes a load-bearing frame with longitudinal, vertical and transverse beams welded together. A flat outer panel or corrugated sheet is welded or riveted to the beam. Insulation is placed between the beams and covered by an inner panel. [0003] This traditional bodywork is weakened by a number of disadvantages: the components are inevitably continuous, which makes lead times and assembly times longer. This component also has the disadvantage of being prone to delays, because the next operation does not start until the previous operation has finished. The conditions of ergonomic control and logic of the process are difficult. [0004] In the finished car body, welding introduces aesthetic and constructional disadvantages. [0005] The weight of the vehicl...
