Description

  The present invention relates to a railway vehicle structure that is assembled by joining a roof structure, a side structure, and the like, and more particularly to a railway vehicle structure that improves the appearance of a window block, a side entrance block, and a joint portion that constitute the side structure.

  High-speed railway vehicles such as Shinkansen vehicles use aluminum vehicles, and a railway vehicle structure is formed by joining extruded material of 20 m corresponding to the entire length of the vehicle body. On the other hand, railway cars traveling on conventional lines are often used with unpainted vehicles mainly for labor-saving maintenance, and aluminum structures are inferior in terms of scratches and dirt. Has been. In this case, the stainless steel structure employs a railcar structure having a structure in which parts such as side structure blocks are joined and assembled instead of the extrusion mold material.

In recent years, a railway vehicle structure has been developed that is assembled by a structure block in which a core member is welded and integrated with a stainless steel outer plate, and is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-104180. Here, FIG. 7 is a side view of the railway vehicle structure disclosed in the publication. And FIG. 8 is the figure which showed the structure block which comprises the railway vehicle structure.
The railway vehicle structure is configured such that the roof structure is joined to the upper part of the side structure, and the lower part of the side structure is joined to the underframe. A side structure 100 for one vehicle described in the publication that constitutes such a railway vehicle structure is positioned between two sets of vehicle end window blocks 101, two sets of intermediate window blocks 102, and each of the window blocks 101 and 102. The three side inlet blocks 103 are joined to each other.

  The vehicle end window block 101 disposed in the front and rear of the vehicle body is formed by attaching an outer plate 110 including a curtain plate portion to a bone member. The outer plate 110 is divided into an upper outer plate 111 and a lower outer plate 112, and the whole is configured larger than the bone member. The upper outer plate 111 is formed with a window opening 12c and is attached to the upper portion from the waistband member, and the lower outer plate 112 is attached to the waist plate portion. On the other hand, each of the intermediate window blocks 102 is created by attaching a skin 120 including a curtain plate portion to a bone member, and is divided into an upper skin 121 and a lower skin 122, and the whole is made up of bone members. Is also made up of large. A window opening 123 is formed in the upper outer plate 121 and is attached to the upper curtain plate portion and the blowing plate portion from the waist band member, and the lower outer plate 112 is attached to the waist plate portion. In the side entrance block 103, an entrance frame plate 130 including a curtain plate portion is composed of an upper frame member, a lower frame member, and a side frame member, and an entrance opening 131 is formed.

The two sets of the vehicle end window block 101 and the intermediate window block 102 and the three sets of the side entrance blocks 103 are joined by welding. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the side entrance block 103 is disposed between the vehicle end window block 101 and the intermediate window block 102 arranged at a predetermined interval, and each is welded. At this time, each side entrance block 103 is spot welded with the frame plate 130 overlapped on the outer surface of the outer plate 110 of the vehicle end window block 101 and the outer surface of the outer plate 120 of the intermediate window block 102.
Therefore, in the conventional railway vehicle structure having a side structure formed by joining the blocks 101, 102, and 103, since each block is individually formed, the longitudinal dimension is reduced, and the outer plate is easily handled. There are effects such as becoming.
JP 2002-104180 A (page 2-3, FIGS. 1 and 2)

However, in the conventional railway vehicle structure configured by joining the blocks as described above, the side entrance block 103 is overlapped with the vehicle end window block 101 and the intermediate window block 102 from the outside of the vehicle body, and the spot is spotted on that portion. It was welded and constructed in one piece. For this reason, a step is formed at the joint and the appearance is not good. That is, the side entrance block 103 stacked on the outer side of the vehicle body has a poor appearance because the steps around the entrance are conspicuous even if the other part of the side structure is formed flat.
Further, since the frame plate 130 overlapped with the outer plates 110 and 120 is joined by spot welding, a watertight treatment using a sealing material is further required at the joined portion. However, the sealing material provided at the joint has deteriorated over time or due to poor compatibility with the detergent used for car washing. For this reason, in the conventional railway vehicle structure, it is necessary to perform maintenance to replace the sealing material provided between the side entrance block 103 and the vehicle end window block 101 and the intermediate window block 102 at certain intervals.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a railway vehicle structure in which the appearances of the window block, the side entrance block, and the joint portion constituting the side structure are improved in order to solve such problems.

  A railcar structure according to the present invention is a structure in which a side structure includes a window block provided with a window opening and a side entrance block provided with an entrance opening. In addition to the side structure, a roof structure, a wife structure, and a stand. The window block is formed by integrally forming a bone member on an outer plate, the side inlet block is formed by attaching an outer plate to the inlet frame, and the inlet frame is The window block is joined to the outer plate of the window block from the inside of the vehicle body, and the window block and the side entrance block are integrated to form a side structure.

  Therefore, according to the railway vehicle structure of the present invention, the entrance frame constituting the side entrance block is brought into contact with and joined to the outer plate of the window block from the inside of the vehicle body. The step does not affect the appearance and looks better. Moreover, the outer plate attached to the inlet frame constituting the side inlet block becomes the same height as the outer plate of the window block, and the appearance is improved.

Next, an embodiment of a railway vehicle structure according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The railcar structure of the present embodiment is similar to the conventional example described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, in which the roof structure is joined to the upper part of the side structure and the frame is joined to the lower part of the side structure. Furthermore, the wife structure is joined before and after. The side structure is formed by joining and integrating the side entrance blocks arranged between the vehicle end and the intermediate window block.

In particular, FIG. 1 shows a view from the outside of the vehicle body, and FIG. Shows a view from the inside of the vehicle body. FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the side inlet blocks are joined to both ends of the intermediate window block from the vehicle interior side. 1 and 2 show the entire side entrance block 20 and half of the intermediate window block 10 is shown. On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows the entire intermediate window block 10 and shows a half of the side inlet block 20 joined to both sides thereof.

  The intermediate window block 10 is formed by joining a bone member to an outer plate 11 including a curtain plate and a waist plate. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 showing the AA cross section of FIG. 3, the bone member 12 has a hat-shaped bone member 12 or the like joined longitudinally and laterally to the back surface of the outer plate 11. Specifically, two side pillars 12 are formed along two left and right vertical sides of the window opening 19 formed in the outer plate 11, and two side pillars each located at both left and right ends of the outer plate 11. A total of 12 twelve are formed in accordance with the height of the side structure. On the other hand, a curtain band member 13 and a waist band member 14 are formed on the top, bottom, and horizontal sides of the window opening 19. A curtain frame 15 is formed in the vertical direction above and below the window opening 19, and a plurality of reinforcing bones 16 are bonded in the horizontal direction between the vertical bone members 12 and 15. Further, a thick long base member 17 is joined to the lower end portion of the outer plate 11 along the bottom side thereof.

  The side entrance block 20 is configured with the entrance frame 21 as the main. The entrance frame 21 forms an entrance opening 29, and is composed of left and right vertical frame portions 22, a waist plate portion 23 below the entrance opening 29, and an upper curtain plate portion 24. In particular, the curtain plate portion 24 is formed in a comb-teeth shape, and there are a total of four comb teeth plates 24a extending from the vertical frame portion 22 and two comb tooth plates 24b therebetween. And the outer plate | board 25 is affixed on the surface of the film | membrane board part 24 containing these comb-tooth plates 24a and 24b. A reinforcing bone 26 having a hat-shaped cross section is joined between the comb teeth plates 24a and 24b on the inner side of the outer plate 25, and a thick long base member 27 is formed along the bottom of the waist plate portion 23 below the entrance opening 29. Is provided.

The entrance frame 21 constituting the side entrance block 20 is formed with rising portions 21a and 21b in which the left and right sides of the vertical frame portion 22 are raised. Here, FIG. 5 is a view showing a BB cross section of FIG. The vertical frame portion 22 of the entrance frame 21 has a U-shaped cross section formed by left and right rises 21a and 21b. The inner rising 21a is formed in an annular shape along the shape of the inlet opening 29, and the outer rising 21b is formed up to a straight line portion excluding the curved portion above the comb tooth plate 24a.
Reinforcing bones 31 and 32, which are connected to the rising portion 21a and form a reinforcing material, are joined to the upper and lower sides of the entrance opening 29, and in particular, the reinforcing bone 32 has a comb-tooth shape extending along the comb-tooth plates 24a and 24b. It has become.

  By the way, in the railway vehicle structure of this embodiment, as can be seen from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the upper part of the side structure extends to the roof structure side (not shown) and is curved. Therefore, the intermediate window block 10 and the side entrance block 20 similarly have a curved shape with the outer plates 11 and 25 upward. In the intermediate window block 10, a joint member 35 along the curved shape of the outer plate 11 is provided on the extension of the side column 12 and the curtain frame 15, and in the side entrance block 20, the comb tooth plates 24 a of the reinforcing bone 32 are provided. A joint member 36 along the curved shape of the outer plate 25 is provided at a comb tooth portion along the line 24b. The curved surface portion is provided with reinforcing members 37 and 38 having a hat-shaped cross section in the longitudinal direction so as to connect the joint members 35 and 36 respectively.

The intermediate window block 10 and the side entrance block 20 configured in this way are joined to form a side structure of the railway vehicle structure. At this time, in this embodiment, the side entrance block 20 is replaced with the intermediate window block 1.
The inside of the vehicle body is put against 0 and joined. Here, FIG. 6 is an external perspective view showing a joint portion at the upper entrance of the intermediate window block 10 and the side entrance block 20.
As shown in FIG. 5, the side entrance block 20 is in contact with the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10, particularly the vertical frame portion 22 of the entrance frame 21 and the upper portion of the vertical extension line from the inside. That is, in addition to the vertical frame portion 22, the comb tooth plate 24 a of the curtain plate portion 24 extending to the upper end of the side entrance block 20 and the end portion of the waist plate portion 23 are applied.

  Then, the entrance frame 21 of the side entrance block 20 applied from the inside of the vehicle body and the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10 are joined together. In the present embodiment, welding using a laser is particularly performed, and as shown in FIG. 5, along the corner P that is a step between the vehicle body surface of the entrance frame 21 and the end of the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10. Then, continuous welding by laser is performed. Accordingly, the laser beam is focused and irradiated from the outside of the vehicle body toward the corner P, and continuously moves along the end of the outer plate 11 while the outer plate 11 and the entrance frame 21 are heated and melted. By doing so, a linear weld line is formed at the overlapping portion of the outer plate 11 and the entrance frame 21.

  Therefore, according to the railway vehicle structure of the present embodiment, the entrance frame 21 constituting the side entrance block 20 is brought into contact with and joined to the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10 from the inside of the vehicle body. As shown in FIG. 6, the step generated in the vicinity of the portion 29 hardly affects the appearance and improves the appearance. As shown in FIG. 6, the outer plate 25 affixed to the inlet frame 21 constituting the side inlet block 20 becomes the same height as the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10, and this also improves the appearance.

Further, since the entrance frame 21 is applied from the inside of the vehicle body and joined, the rising portions 21a and 21b can be formed along the shape of the entrance opening 29 and the external shapes of both left and right sides on the inside of the vehicle body without affecting the appearance. Therefore, the rigidity of the inlet frame 21 can be increased.
Furthermore, the watertightness of the joint can be secured by continuously welding the joint between the inlet frame 21 of the side inlet block 20 and the outer plate 11 of the intermediate window block 10 by laser welding. This eliminates the need for the sealing material required for spot welding and eliminates the need for maintenance for replacing the sealing material.
