Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0004] Generally, the internal-combustion engine of the electric diesel vehicle is mounted
on a vehicle where a passenger and a crew get on. However, to secure a wide compartment
space, the internal-combustion engine is arranged under a floor to be separated from
the compartment since the internal-combustion engine easily causes noise and vibration.
Traditionally, an exhaust pipe, extending from the internal-combustion engine, which
is provided under the floor has a structure that passes through the floor of the compartment
and is erected along an inner side of a side surface of the vehicle to a roof.
[0005] In a case where the exhaust pipe is provided in the compartment in the traditional
structure, it is necessary to separately design compartment layouts of a vehicle on
which the internal-combustion engine is mounted and a vehicle on which the internal-combustion
engine is not mounted. In addition, since an exhaust pipe cover which includes a heat
insulating layer for insulating heat of the exhaust pipe is provided to be projected
from the side surface in the vehicle to the inner side of the vehicle. Therefore,
there has been a case where the compartment space becomes narrower and the degree
of freedom of compartment design is reduced.
[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a railway vehicle which has a common
compartment layout for a vehicle on which an internal-combustion engine is mounted
and a vehicle on which the internal-combustion engine is not provided and has a compartment
space which is not narrowed.
Solution to Problem
[0007] The present invention is a railway vehicle according to claim 1.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a railway vehicle which
has a common compartment layout for a vehicle on which an internal-combustion engine
is mounted and a vehicle on which the internal-combustion engine is not provided and
has a compartment space which is not narrowed.

Description of Embodiments
[0010] An embodiment as a mode for carrying out the present invention is described with
reference to the drawings.
[0011] First, before the description starts, directions to be used are defined. The directions
include a longitudinal (rail) direction 510 of a railway vehicle or a truck, a width
(railroad tie) direction 520 of the railway vehicle or the truck, and a height direction
530. The respective directions are simply described as the longitudinal direction
510, the width direction 520, and the height direction 530.
Embodiment
[0012] FIG. 1 is a side view of a multiple unit train composed of railway vehicles including
internal-combustion engines. A multiple unit train 1 travels by using power collected
from an overhead line 2 in an electrified section and travels by using power obtained
by driving a generator 25 driven by a driving force of an internal-combustion engine
24 mounted on the railway vehicle in a section where the overhead line 2 is not provided
(non-electrified section).
[0013] On a roof of each leading vehicle (No. 1 and No. 5 in FIG. 1), a collector (pantograph)
16 is mounted. Power collected by the collector 16 is transformed by a main transformer
12, and then supplied to a main converter 14. The power supplied from the main converter
14 drives a main motor (refer to main motor 34 in FIGS. 4 and 5) mounted on the truck
to obtain the driving force.
[0014] All the vehicles have air conditioners 17 mounted at the center side in the longitudinal
direction on roofs of the vehicles, and each of the air conditioners 17 ventilates
air in the vehicle and supplies conditioned air, of which temperature and humidity
have been adjusted, in the vehicle. Furthermore, an auxiliary power supply 10 mounted
under the floor generates power to be supplied to the air conditioners 17, a broadcasting
device (not shown), and the like.
[0015] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a ceiling positioned directly under a portion of the roof
where the collector 16 is mounted is formed to be lower than a ceiling of a portion
of the roof where the collector 16 is not mounted. When the railway vehicle passes
through the non-electrified section where the overhead line 2 (or dual gauge which
is not shown) is not provided, the collector 16 is folded, and the railway vehicle
travels by using power obtained by operating the generator 25 by the internal-combustion
engine 24 mounted on each of middle vehicles (No. 2 to No. 4 in FIG. 1). Each of the
middle vehicles has the main converter 14 mounted thereon and controls a voltage and
a frequency of power which is collected from the overhead line 2 and of which a pressure
is regulated or power generated by the generator 25 to drive the main motor mounted
on the truck.
[0016] Since the internal-combustion engine 24 is provided under a floor (high floor) 7
of the middle vehicle, the height of the floor 7 is higher than that of a floor (low
floor) 8 of the leading vehicle. Therefore, for a smooth movement between the low
floor 8 and the high floor 7, slopes are provided on the vehicles adjacent to the
leading vehicles of the middle vehicles (No. 2 and No. 4 in FIG. 1).
[0017] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of a truck 30 for supporting the railway
vehicle and the internal-combustion engine 24 provided under the floor (part A in
FIG. 1). FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in the longitudinal direction (cross-sectional
view taken along line B-B in FIG. 2) of a part where the internal-combustion engine
24 in FIG. 2 is mounted.
[0018] The vehicle body of the railway vehicle includes an underframe 50 forming the surface
of the floor (FIGS. 3 and 4), side structures 70 which are erected at both ends of
the underframe 50 in the width direction 520 (FIG. 3), end body structures which are
erected at both ends of the underframe 50 in the longitudinal direction 510 (not shown),
and a roof structure which is provided at upper ends of the side structure 70 and
the end body structure (not shown).
[0019] In addition, the railway vehicle is elastically supported by the trucks 30 disposed
at both ends in the longitudinal direction 510 via air springs 32. Under the floor
in the vicinity of the truck 30 (on the side of longitudinal direction 510 of railway
vehicle), a power generation unit 11, an air tank 19 in which pressurized air for
controlling a brake is accumulated, and the like are provided (FIG. 2).
[0020] The power generation unit 11 mainly includes the internal-combustion engine 24 and
the generator 25. In the vicinity of the internal-combustion engine 24, mufflers 27,
a cooler 28, and the like are provided (FIG. 2). The muffler 27 functions to muffle
exhaust sounds of the internal-combustion engine 24, and the cooler 28 functions to
facilitate heat dissipation from cooling water.
[0021] Since the internal-combustion engine 24 generates noise and vibration, the internal-combustion
engine 24 is mounted under the lower surface of the underframe 50 between both trucks
supporting the both ends of the railway vehicle in the longitudinal direction without
via a vibration isolating support (which is not shown). In addition, by providing
side skirts 42 having a sound insulation function, the internal-combustion engine
24 is surrounded (FIG. 3), and the noise caused by the internal-combustion engine
24 is prevented from propagating around the railway vehicle.
[0022] A heat insulating plate 40 is provided under the lower surface of the underframe
50 between the underframe 50 and the internal-combustion engine 24 (FIG. 3), and heat
radiation from the upper part of the internal-combustion engine 24 is prevented from
being transmitted to the lower surface of the underframe 50.
[0023] The mufflers 27 are provided, as a pair of the right and left mufflers, below the
both ends of the internal-combustion engine 24 in the width direction 520. As illustrated
in FIGS. 2 and 3, each of two exhaust pipes 26, extended from each of the pair of
mufflers 27, has a structure which extends toward an end of the underframe 50 in the
longitudinal direction 510 immediately below the underframe 50 in the width direction
520 after rising upward at the center part of the internal-combustion engine 24 in
the width direction. A heat insulating material is wound around the outer peripheral
surface of the exhaust pipe 26 to prevent heat of the exhaust pipe 26 from being radiated
to the surroundings.
[0024] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view in the horizontal direction (cross-sectional view
taken along line C-C in FIG. 2) of the truck 30 and the internal-combustion engine
24. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view in the longitudinal direction (cross-sectional
view taken along line D-D in FIG. 4) of the truck 30 and the vehicle body. FIG. 6
is a cross-sectional view in the longitudinal direction (cross-sectional view taken
along line E-E in FIG. 4) of a vehicle end part.
[0025] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the underframe 50 includes side beams 52 and end beams
51 as a framework. The side beams 52 are disposed at both ends of the railway vehicle
in the width direction 520 along the longitudinal direction 510, and the end beams
51 are disposed at both ends of the railway vehicle in the longitudinal direction
510 along the width direction 520. A body bolster 54 is disposed as a part of the
underframe 50 used to attach the truck 30 below the vehicle body and formed of a high-rigidity
strength member. As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, a center pin 56 is disposed under
the lower surface of the center part of the body bolster positioned at the center
part of the body bolster 54 in the width direction 520 and is an axis when the truck
30 turns in the horizontal plane. A pair of middle beams 53 is laid along the longitudinal
direction 510 between the end beams 51 at both ends of the underframe 50 in the longitudinal
direction 510 and the body bolster 54 and connects the end beams 51 to the body bolster
54.
[0026] The two exhaust pipes 26 extend from the internal-combustion engine 24 via the muffler
27, are raised upward to the lower surface of the center part of the underframe 50
in the width direction 520 near the internal-combustion engine 24, and the two exhaust
pipes 26 are arranged side by side in the width direction 520 (horizontal plane) (FIG.
3). Next, the two exhaust pipes 26 arranged on the horizontal plane side by side pass
through the body bolster 54 along the longitudinal direction 510 (FIG. 5) and are
laid between the pair of middle beams 53 forming a part of the underframe 50 (FIG.
4) .
[0027] The two exhaust pipes 26 join together and are integrated as a single exhaust pipe
26 after extending to the vicinity of the end beam 51 (FIG. 4). As illustrated in
FIG. 6, the single integrated exhaust pipe 26 is laid between the pair of middle beams
53 and is positioned below a coupler 58. Concurrently, the exhaust pipe 26 is fixed
to an exhaust pipe holder 46 provided under the lower surface of the middle beam 53
via a vibration isolating support 47. In addition, the exhaust pipe 26 which extends
to the vicinity of the end beam 51 is bent toward the end in the width direction 520
(FIG. 4), and then, extends in the height direction 530 along a surface of an end
body structure (which is not shown) on the inner side of the vehicle and is erected
so as to pass through a roof structure (which is not shown). Normally, on the vehicle's
inner side of the end body structure, a portion is provided in which a deck portion
used by a passenger and the like to get on and get off from the railway vehicle, a
device room where devices are placed, or a luggage storage space is provided and in
which a compartment space where the passenger and the like is seated is not provided.
[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the body bolster 54 includes end body bolsters positioned
at both ends in the width direction 520 and a center part body bolster which is positioned
at the center in the width direction 520 and through which the exhaust pipes 26 pass.
The end body bolster is formed of a hollow extruded shape material which is extruded
along the width direction 520. The center part body bolster is formed by assembling
thick plate materials by welding.
[0029] In addition, the air spring 32 has contact with the lower surface of the end body
bolster, and the end body bolster includes a plurality of conduits 55 along the longitudinal
direction 510. Electric wires and pipes intersecting with the body bolster 54 are
laid through the conduits 55.
[0030] Next, countermeasures regarding the heat of the exhaust pipe 26 are described. In
a portion where the exhaust pipes 26 are positioned above the main motor 34 of the
truck 30, the heat insulating plate 40 is provided under the lower surfaces of the
exhaust pipes 26 and prevents the heat of the exhaust pipes 26 from being transmitted
to the main motor 34 (FIG. 5) . Although not shown, the heat insulating material is
provided in a portion where the exhaust pipes 26 have contact with the center part
body bolster, and this prevents the heat of the exhaust pipe 26 to be transmitted
to the body bolster and the like.
[0031] As described above, the exhaust pipe 26 has a structure laid in a form which is raised
from the internal-combustion engine 24 to the lower surface of the center part of
the underframe 50 in the width direction 520 via the muffler 27, passes through the
center part of the body bolster 54, included in the underframe 50, in the width direction
520, and extends to the end of the railway vehicle in the longitudinal direction 510,
and then, is raised in the height direction 530 and passes through the roof structure.
That is, since the exhaust pipes 26 are not laid in the compartment, a larger compartment
space can be secured. In addition, interference between the exhaust pipes 26 provided
under the lower surface of the underframe 50 and the air spring 32 can be suppressed.
Furthermore, in addition, after the exhaust pipe 26 is extended to the end of the
railway vehicle in the longitudinal direction 510, the exhaust pipe 26 is raised in
the deck portion which is used by a passenger and the like to get on and get off from
the railway vehicle or the device room. Therefore, a common compartment layout can
be used for the railway vehicle having the internal-combustion engine 24 mounted therein
and the railway vehicle which does not have the internal-combustion engine 24 mounted
therein.
[0032] The two exhaust pipes 26 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal plane under the
lower surface of the center part of the underframe 50 in the width direction 520 and
pass through the center part body bolster provided at the center part of the body
bolster 54. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the height of the
center part body bolster and to obtain a compartment space that is wide in the height
direction.
[0033] Furthermore, an outlet of the exhaust pipe 26 is provided on the roof at the end
of the railway vehicle in the longitudinal direction, and the position of the outlet
is separated from the air conditioner 17 provided on the center part of the roof in
the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent that the exhaust
gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 26 is taken in the air conditioner 17 and contaminates
and damages the air conditioner 17.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the multiple unit train has been described which includes
various devices for the travel in the electrified section, the internal-combustion
engine for the travel in the non-electrified section, and the generator connected
to the internal-combustion engine. However, the present invention is not necessarily
limited to the multiple unit vehicle (railway vehicle) to travel in both of the electrified
section and the non-electrified section.
[0035] Although the railway vehicle having an electric diesel engine including the generator
connected to the internal-combustion engine mounted thereon has been exemplified as
the embodiment, the present invention can be applied to a railway vehicle having a
hydraulic diesel engine, which includes only an internal-combustion engine, mounted
thereon.
