Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to the cabin structure of large vehicles such as railway vehicles, road vehicles, and buses, and is particularly concerned with providing a comfortable cabin for each passenger. Regarding the vehicle cabin structure that we can provide.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 7, a vehicle 1 such as a railway vehicle or a road vehicle is controlled so that the entire cabin 2 is kept at a constant temperature to prevent temperature irregularities within the cabin 2. Efforts are being made to effectively prevent this and to average it out as much as possible.

However, the physical sensation of each passenger differs greatly depending on the amount of clothing, weight, etc. of each passenger, and even if the temperature inside the vehicle is made uniform and stable, there are individual differences, and some passengers may feel too cold or not cool enough. It was out. This was an unavoidable problem when providing services to an unspecified number of passengers.

Recently, in order to meet the diversifying needs of passengers, there are aircraft, buses, and other premium vehicles that use spot air conditioning, but in this case, the air distribution structure is extremely difficult, and the duct configuration is complex, resulting in increased costs. In addition, passengers were exposed to localized cooling air for a long period of time, which was not good for their health.

On the other hand, in recent years, some railway cars have been separated into smoking cars and non-smoking cars, but smoking cars and non-smoking cars are separated by car, so when traveling in a group, it is difficult to distinguish between smoking cars and non-smoking cars. Either smokers or non-smokers had to put up with the problem of having to ride separately or have groups split into different vehicles.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Even if the needs of passengers become diversified in conventional large vehicles such as railway vehicles, road vehicles, and buses, it is possible to provide services that meet the needs of individual passengers. The problem has been how to structure the cabin of a vehicle so that the vehicle can be ridden comfortably.

This invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a cabin structure for a vehicle that allows an unspecified number of passengers to ride comfortably either individually or in a group.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) A vehicle cabin structure according to this invention is a vehicle cabin structure that has an entrance/exit at the end of the vehicle and controls the interior of the vehicle at a set temperature using an air conditioner. The passenger compartment of the vehicle is divided into a plurality of compartments in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by partition plates made of a transparent or translucent material that extend in the vehicle width direction and have passage openings in the passenger compartment passages, and each of the compartments is divided into a plurality of compartments in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The air conditioning is configured to be able to be controlled at an independent set temperature, and the set temperature of each small room is divided into at least three different standard air conditioning set temperatures: a weak small room, a middle small room, and a strong small room, and the temperature is set at this intermediate temperature. The number of seats in each small room is greater than the number of seats in other small rooms.

(Function) The vehicle compartment is divided into a plurality of compartments in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by partition plates made of transparent or semi-transparent material that extend in the vehicle width direction and have passage openings in the passenger compartment passages, and each of these compartments is Each small room is configured to be able to be air-conditioned at an independent set temperature, and the set temperature of each small room is set at least in a weak small room, an intermediate small room, and a medium small room.
In addition to dividing the small rooms into three different standard air conditioning temperature settings, the number of seats in the small rooms set at intermediate temperatures was greater than the number of seats in other small rooms.
Even when an unspecified number of passengers ride individually or in groups, it is possible to provide seats that suit the needs of each individual passenger without worrying about the vehicle for each group, ensuring a comfortable ride. It is something that can be done.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the cabin structure of a vehicle according to this invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a railway vehicle 10 to which this invention is applied, and this railway vehicle 10 has a deck portion 12 with an entrance/exit 11 formed on both sides of a compartment 13. The compartment 13 has partition plates 14, 1 extending in the vehicle width direction.
4,... for example, five small chambers 13a, 1
It is divided into 3b, 13c, 13d, and 13e. A plurality of air conditioners 15 are arranged in the ceiling of the vehicle compartment 13 along the longitudinal direction of the railway vehicle 10, and the interior of the vehicle compartment 13 is heated and cooled by cooling air or hot air blown out from each air conditioner 15. and air conditioned.

The partition plate 14 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material with excellent design. The partition plate 14 has a passage opening 17 formed on the side of the central passage 16 of the vehicle 10, as shown in FIG. , allowing passengers to enter and exit. The partition plate 14 is the seat 1 excluding the aisle opening 17.
The eight compartments are completely partitioned and the air in each compartment is shielded from flowing into each other.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a central partition plate 21 of about 30 cm in height is provided on the ceiling 20 of the central passage section 16 of the vehicle compartment 13, and each compartment is designated as a smoking area with this central partition plate 21 as a border. It is divided into a non-smoking room A and a non-smoking room B as necessary.

2 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10 in the ceiling of the vehicle compartment 13.
Blow-off ducts 22a, 22b and suction ducts 23a, 23b of the system are provided, of which the blow-off ducts 22a, 22b are provided on the central passage side of the vehicle 10, and the suction ducts 23a, 23b are provided on the window side. The hot air or cooling air from the air conditioner 15 passes through the air ducts 22a and 22b, and is blown out from the air outlets 24a and 24b that open toward the central passageway, and is blown out from each of the small rooms 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, and 1.
Cool and heat the interior of 3e. The air that has been heated and cooled in each small room is exhausted through suction ducts 23a and 23b.

At that time, the air outlet 2 of the air outlet ducts 22a, 22b
Cooling air etc. blown out from 4a and 24b are guided to the window-side suction ports 25a and 25b through the flow pattern shown by arrow C in FIG. It can be divided into a smoking room A and a non-smoking room B.

By the way, the passengers boarding the railway vehicle 10 are
Each passenger experiences different sensations depending on the amount of clothing he wears, his weight, etc., and the temperature and humidity that each passenger feels comfortable with is expressed as shown in FIG. This figure 4 shows a comfort diagram, also called a tie diagram, which shows the temperature and humidity that people feel comfortable with expressed in degrees. As is clear from this figure, the range of perceived temperature and humidity where you feel comfortable is the average temperature and humidity (the midpoint of the air conditioner set temperature).
The percentage of people who feel comfortable with the set temperature (region b of the comfort diagram) is higher when cooling, and lower when heating (weak value of the air conditioner set temperature) (region a of the comfort diagram). This is more common than people who feel comfortable with a set temperature that is lower when heating and higher when heating (stronger set temperature for air conditioners) (region c on the pleasure chart).

On the other hand, inside the compartment 13 of the railway vehicle 10, a partition plate 14
A plurality of small chambers 13a, 13b, 13c, 13
It is divided into small rooms d and 13e, but each small room 13a to 13
The space e is not the same volume, but is adjusted according to the degree of comfort chart. That is, each small room 13a,
The number of seats installed in 13b, 13c, 13d, and 13e and the room temperature setting are determined according to the degree of comfort chart. For example, the entrance/exit 11 of the railway vehicle 10
The small chambers 13a and 13e located nearby are set at a temperature close to the outside air temperature. Then, toward the center of the vehicle compartment 13, each small compartment 13a, 13b, 13c, 13
The temperature settings for the rooms d and 13e are set as shown in Figure 5.In the summer, the room temperature settings become lower as you move towards the center, and in the winter, they are adjusted to become higher. is soothing.

Specifically, the small rooms 13a, 1 near the entrance/exit 11
3e is a standard set temperature (area a of the pleasure chart) that is higher when cooling and lower when heating (weakening the air conditioner set temperature), and is suitable for the seat 18 for passengers who feel comfortable at higher temperatures when cooling and lower temperatures when heating. Now, this small room 1
The small compartments 13b and 13d adjacent to the compartments 3a and 13e have a standard set temperature (region b of the pleasure curve) of the average intermediate value during cooling (air conditioner set temperature is the intermediate value), and are seats for passengers with an average sensation. 18 Make it suitable;
Furthermore, the central small room 13c far from the entrance/exit 11 has a standard set temperature (region c of the pleasure chart) that is lower when cooling and higher when heating (increasing the air conditioner set temperature), and feels comfortable when it is lower when cooling and higher when heating. passenger seat 1
8, and each small room 1
The set temperatures of 3a, 13e, 13b, 13d, and 13c are, for example, 27°C, 25°C, and 23°C, and are set to differ by about 1 to 3°C. Further, the number of passenger seats in the compartments 13b and 13d having an average sensation (region b of the comfort diagram) is set to be larger than the number of seats in the other compartments 13a, 13e and compartment 13c.

And each of the small chambers 13a, 13b, 13c, 13
The seats 18 or seat covers installed in the seats 13d and 13e are of different colors depending on the room temperature setting.

For example, in the summer, the small room 13 on the entrance/exit 11 side
Warm colors such as orange and yellow are used for a and 13e, neutral colors such as green are used for the intermediate compartments 13b and 13d, and cool colors such as blue are used for the central compartment 13c. It is now possible to immediately determine what kind of temperature control range the temperature is in. The temperature of each chamber is detected by a thermostat. This thermostat is installed at a location where it can detect the representative temperature of each compartment.

Next, the effect will be explained.

Passengers boarding the railway vehicle 10 can designate a seat in their preferred temperature range, and the seat classification is configured according to the comfort level, so the individual needs of a large number of unspecified passengers can be effectively met. It is possible to satisfy customers' needs and ensure a comfortable ride.

Furthermore, if a translucent plate with an excellent design and pattern is used for the partition plate 14 that partitions the compartment 13 of the railway vehicle 10, it is possible to prevent the eyes of other passengers from being seen, but it also prevents the sound of crying infants from spreading inside the train. can be prevented.

Furthermore, since the interior of the compartment 13 of the railway vehicle 10 is not uniformly cooled and heated, but the cooling and heating temperature is varied for each compartment, unnecessary heating and cooling operations are reduced, and energy can be saved. On the other hand, since the temperature is set so that it gradually approaches the outside temperature as you move toward the deck, the heat shock when entering or exiting the cabin can be alleviated. In addition, the color of the seat or seat cover installed in each small room is changed to match the temperature setting of each room, so the temperature control range of the seat can be visually confirmed at a glance.

This railway vehicle has a ceiling 20 on the central aisle side of the cabin 13.
A central partition plate 21 is provided at each outlet 24a, 24.
Since the flow pattern of the airflow blown out from b is divided into left and right sections, cigarette smoke does not spread inside the car, reducing the burden on non-smokers. Additionally, smokers and non-smokers can sit on the left and right seats in the same row without feeling uncomfortable.

Although the embodiment of this invention has been described with reference to a railway vehicle, this invention can be applied not only to railway vehicles but also to road vehicles, large vehicles such as buses, airplanes, etc.

Further, it is not necessarily necessary to provide a central partition plate on the ceiling on the central aisle side of the vehicle compartment, and it is possible to just have the air blow out from both the left and right sides of the ceiling on the central aisle side 20A as shown in FIG. The airflow can be separated between the left and right sides of the vehicle compartment 13.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, a semi-central type air conditioner may be used as long as the air flow rate to each small room can be adjusted without having to install multiple units separately. .

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, in the vehicle cabin structure according to this invention, the cabin of a vehicle such as a railway vehicle is divided into a plurality of small compartments by partition plates extending in the width direction of the vehicle, so there are visual and auditory advantages. At the same time, the room temperature and number of seats can be set for each small room according to the degree of comfort chart, so it is possible to effectively provide seats that meet the individual needs of an unspecified number of passengers. Even when people ride individually or as a group, there is no need to use different vehicles for each group, and a comfortable ride can be guaranteed.
