Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a protection device for a passageway in a variable headway.

[Prior art]

In order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the passageway between connected vehicle bodies, some vehicles surround the passageway with a decorative panel.

In a method of covering the gables of a connected car body with a single hood, when forming a through passage with the above-mentioned decorative panels, the conventional method of configuring the ceiling panel was to configure the ceiling panel with two pieces, each with a There is one in which the base ends are fixed to the opposite end surfaces of the vehicle bodies, and the respective protruding ends are overlapped so as to be able to freely slide relative to each other.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

In the conventional structure, when the connecting wheels are deflected, the protruding ends of the ceiling panel are separated from each other, and the back side of the canopy stretched outside can be seen from between the protruding ends, which impairs the aesthetic appearance of the ceiling part. There is a problem with it being damaged. Also, in order to prevent the above-mentioned gap from occurring, it is possible to provide an intermediate panel between the two panels and support it with a canopy, but the canopy has a flexible structure to adapt to any deviation. If the intermediate panel were to be supported by this, there would be a problem that the intermediate panel would interfere with the side cloth of the vehicle body or the top when the vehicle body moves laterally when the vehicle is biased, and it is practically difficult to provide an intermediate panel. It was hot.

Therefore, the present invention aims to reduce the number of through-paths between variable vehicles to one.
In the case of a type that is covered with a single canopy, the back side of the canopy as described above is prevented from being seen, and the intermediate panel for preventing this is always kept in the center position even when the vehicle is deflected. The object of the present invention is to propose a protection device for a passageway between variable vehicle gaps that can prevent interference with the side cloth of the top of the vehicle body.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a panel that forms a through passage that communicates between the vehicle bodies 1 and 2.
The center side panel 1 is composed of a total of two left and right center side panels 11 that cover the space between the car end side panels 6, 6 protruding from both vehicle body end surfaces 3, 4, and the center side panel 1
1 is supported by a support member installed between both vehicle body gable surfaces 3 and 4 at two left and right locations of both vehicle bodies 1 and 2, and
Ceiling panels 17, 17 for car ends, each of which has a ceiling panel forming a through path, are fixed to the end surfaces 3, 4 of both car bodies and protrude in the shape of a canopy; Consisting of only one central ceiling panel 18 that is slidably installed between the left and right 2
Two left and right guide pins 20, 20a, 21, 21a protruding upward are provided in the central part of the central side panel 11 or the two left and right supporting members, and each of the left and right sides of the central ceiling panel 18 It is characterized in that engagement holes 22, 22a, 23, and 23a are formed in the center portion, and the guide pin is fitted into the engagement holes 22, 22a, 23, and 23a.

[Effect]

Even when the vehicle deviates due to passing through an S curve, the two guide pins provided at the center of the center side panel or support member are located at the midpoint between the left and right sides of the vehicle body. . Therefore, the center ceiling panel supported by both guide pins is also always held at the intermediate portion between the two vehicle body end surfaces.

It is similarly fixed to the end surface 4 of the vehicle end ceiling panels 17, 17, and there is a space between the opposite ends of the ceiling panels 17, 17. Reference numeral 18 designates a ceiling panel for the center, whose front and rear ends are placed on the upper surfaces of the ceiling panels 17, 17 for both car ends, so as to close the space between the ceiling panels 17, 17 for both car ends. There is. In addition, sliding plates 19 are fixed to the lower surfaces of both sides of the center ceiling panel 18, so that the center ceiling panel 18 and the car end ceiling panels 17, 17 can smoothly slide against each other. It's summery. The center side panels 11 are provided on both sides of the through path, and guide pins 20 and 21 are provided to protrude upward from the upper ends of the centers of the center side panels 11 and 11, respectively. Engagement holes 22 and 23 into which the guide pins 20 and 21 fit are formed in the center of both ends of the center ceiling panel 18. One of the engagement holes 22 is a positioning hole formed into a round hole that allows the pin 20 to rotate, and the other engagement hole 23 is long enough to allow the pin 21 to move only in a direction perpendicular to the through path. It is a moving hole formed in a hole. Both guide pins 20 and 21 are fitted into engagement holes 23 and 23, respectively.

Next, the gangplank will be explained.

24 and 25 are crosspiece plates, and the gable sides 3 and 2 of both car bodies 1 and 2 are

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the vehicle passes on the S curve and both vehicle bodies 1 and 2 are deflected oppositely in the lateral direction orthogonal to the vehicle body direction as shown in FIG. 10, the hood 5 and both vehicle end ceiling panels 17, 17 is displaced as shown. In addition, the pantograph type support member 13 is
Since both ends thereof are connected to the ends 3, 4 of both vehicle bodies 1, 2, both ends thereof expand and contract in the same amount as the deflection amount of both vehicle bodies 1, 2. The center portion of the support member 13 is always located at the intermediate portion between the end surfaces 3 and 4 of both vehicle bodies, no matter how much deflection occurs in both vehicle bodies 1 and 2. That is, the central part is the side A where the two gable sides 3 and 4 are wider than normal in Fig. 10.
It is located in the middle between both gable surfaces both on the side B (upper side in the drawing) and on the side B which is closed than normal (lower side in the drawing). Therefore, the center side panel 11 is supported at the center of the support member 13,
In addition, since the guide pins 20 and 21 provided at the upper end of the center side panel 11 are arranged near the center of the support member 13, both guide pins 2
0 and 21 are also always located in the middle of both the gable surfaces 3 and 4. Therefore, both guide pins 20,
Center ceiling panel 1 supported on both sides by 21
8 is always supported in the center of both gable surfaces 3, 4 as shown, no matter what deflection of the vehicle bodies 1, 2.

Further, the gangplank 26 is also always located in the center between the two gables 3 and 4 due to the same effect as described above.

Further, when the vehicle body shifts as described above, the center side panel 11 and the vehicle end side panel 6 slide against each other. At this time, the rollers 10 ensure smooth sliding, and the springs 8 hold the tip of the car end side panel 6 in contact with the center side panel 11, preventing a gap from occurring between the two panels. To prevent. Moreover, the amount of deviation becomes large, and when the roller 10 comes off from the main body part of the center side panel 11, the roller 10 rides on the detachment prevention plate 12. Furthermore, in the case of severe deviation such that the roller 10 is detached from the detachment prevention plate 12, the roller 10 is removed from the detachment prevention plate 12.
Before it comes off, the stopper 9 fixed to the side panel 6 for the car end hits the adjustment seat 35 on the end face, and prevents the side panel 6 for the car end from rotating outward.

That is, if the roller 10 comes off from the detachment prevention plate 12 due to severe bias, the tip of the end side panel 6 will be pulled toward the hood 5 from the center side panel 11 by the biasing force of the spring 8. When the deflection of the vehicle body returns to normal from this state, the tip of the vehicle end side panel 6 will shift to the center side panel 1.
However, by providing the stopper 9 as described above, such damage can be prevented.

Next, the second part of the present invention shown in Figs. 11 and 13
An example will be explained.

This embodiment is based on the guide pin 2 in the above embodiment.
0, 21 and engagement holes 22, 23.

That is, the pin 15 of the support member 13 that supports the center side panel is provided with vertically elongated guide pins 20a and 21a, and the upper end thereof is
Engagement holes 2 formed on both sides of the center ceiling panel 18
2a and 23a with loose fit. Further, the engagement holes 22a, 23a are formed as elongated holes in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the through path, and their outer ends are open. Also, on both sides of the gangplank 26,
Engagement holes similar to the engagement holes 22a, 23a are formed, into which the lower ends of the guide pins 20a, 21a are loosely fitted. In this way, the engagement holes 22a, 2
By opening the outer end of 3a, the center ceiling panel 18 and the gangboard 26 can be easily assembled and removed. Note that the guide pins 20a, 21
A guide plate 30 as shown in FIG. 13 is fixedly installed in a, a hole 31 is formed in the guide plate 30, and the pin 15 is loosely fitted into the hole 31.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the gap between the end ceiling panels is closed by one center ceiling panel, and the hood covering the outside is not seen from the through passage. without damaging the aesthetic appearance. Moreover, the center ceiling panel can be supported even in a model where the passageway is covered with a single canopy, and the center ceiling panel is always maintained in the center between the gable sides of the car body no matter how the car body shifts. This prevents the center ceiling panel from interfering with the car body gable or hood during deflection, thereby preventing damage to the center ceiling panel.
