【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、プラットホームから鉄道車両連結部の空間(妻面間の空間)に人間が転落することを防止するために鉄道車両の妻面の左右両側に設けた防護装置(いわゆる鉄道車両連結部の転落防止装置)、殊に縦のヒンジピンにより妻面に取付けられた弾性防壁による転落防止装置に関するものであり、当該装置の機構を単純にするとともに、鉄道車両連結部の空間に作業員が入って連結部のメンテナンス等の作業を行うについて、上記空間への作業員の出入りを、上記弾性防壁を簡単に外側に解放できるようにして、上記空間への出入りを簡単容易にしたものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
鉄道車両の連結部の左右両側(妻面の左右両側)に転落防止装置を設けることは従来周知であり、この転落防止装置の機構、構造の典型的なものとして蛇腹状の幌幕によるものもあるが、最近は図1に示すものが一般的である。図1に示す従来のものは機構が極めて単純であり、格別のメンテナンスを要しないなどの利点がある。
図1の従来のものは、車両の妻面の左右両側部に縦長の弾性防壁(このものにおいては中空弾性部材による外幌)Gを上記妻面に固着して突設しているものである。車両が直線線路上にあるときは対向する一対の弾性防壁G,Gは同一平面内にあり、連結部が大きく屈曲するときに、弾性防壁G,Gが互い干渉すること(衝突し、擦れ合うこと)をできるだけ軽減するように、その弾性防壁材の先端間に比較的狭い隙間がある。しかし、曲率の大きい(曲率半径の小さい)線路上を走行し、連結部が大きく屈曲すると、車両の左右両側の一方の弾性防壁G,Gの弾性防壁材が干渉し合うことになる(図1(c)における破線の状態)。このようなものにおける弾性防壁Gについては様々な工夫が成されており、その一例が特開平8−169335号公報に記載されている。弾性防壁Gの弾性防壁材については、これに倒れかかった人間を支えるだけの強さが求められる反面、干渉し合うときの衝撃、損傷を軽減するために所要の弾性が求められる。また、両弾性防壁G,Gの弾性防壁材先端間の隙間(例えば図2における隙間S)については、倒れかかった人間がこの隙間から転落するのを防止するためには狭い方が望ましいが、他方、車両連結部が屈曲したときの相互干渉を少なくするためには、上記隙間Sはできるだけ広いことが望ましい。このようなことから、この両弾性防壁G,Gの弾性防壁材先端間の隙間Sは人間が通り抜けられるほどには大きくなく、また、これを弾性変形させながら押し退けて通り抜けられるほどには柔軟ではない。
【0003】
このようなことから、妻面間の空間に出入りするときは、作業員は弾性防壁G,Gの下を潜り抜けて上記空間に出入りすることになる。このような不都合を回避するために、ヒンジ装置を介して弾性防壁G,Gを車両妻面に取り付け、通常はこれを閉位置(車両妻面にほぼ直角な位置)に保持し、必要なときに弾性防壁Gを開位置(妻面とほぼ平行に外側に突出した位置)に回動させるようにしたものが公知である(特開2000−1165号公報)。このものは、図2に示すように、車両の妻面Dに固定した断面L形の取付金21と弾性防壁Gに固定した断面L形のブラケット22とを縦のヒンジピン23で連結したものであり、弾性ばねによる付勢手段で取付金21に対してブラケット22を下方に付勢して、弾性防壁Gを閉位置に機械的にロックして保持させ、上記付勢手段による付勢力に抗してブラケット22を押し上げて上記ロックを解除してから開位置に回動させられるようにしたものである。そして、この従来技術の弾性防壁Gの弾性防壁材は射出成形されるもので金具24を射出成形時に埋め込んであって、この金具24に上記ブラケット22をねじ止めして固定している(以下、これを「従来技術」という)。
ヒンジピン23によるヒンジ機構は、通常はロックされているので、弾性防壁Gは固定状態にある。このため、連結部の屈曲時に弾性防壁G,Gの弾性防壁材の相互干渉を軽減できるように、左右の弾性防壁G,Gの方向を少し内外方向に少しずらすなどの工夫を講じている。しかし、現実には弾性防壁の相互干渉は避けられないから、この相互干渉による弾性防壁材の損傷を低減するために、ある程度の弾性を有し、耐摩耗性に優れた材料で弾性防壁材を作成することが必要である。
【0004】
【解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上記従来技術は、弾性防壁Gを開閉方向に回動可能に車両の妻面に取り付けるヒンジ機構は、弾性防壁Gの上げ下げでヒンジのロック、ロック解除を行うものであるために、ヒンジ機構が複雑であり、また、弾性防壁Gを持ち上げてロック解除操作を行うものであるために、弾性防壁Gを開くためのロック解除操作が容易でないという問題がある。
また、弾性防壁材は互いの干渉による損傷を軽減するためにある程度弾性変形するとしても、転落防止壁であることから所要の堅さ、強度が必要であり、かつ、弾性防壁は閉位置に固定されているので、相互干渉による損傷が避けられないという問題がある。
さらに、ヒンジを構成するブラケットを弾性防壁材に取り付けるための金具が弾性防壁材に埋め込まれているので、その構造が単純でなく、また弾性防壁材は射出成形するほかはなく、さらに、その素材が限られてしまい、選択の幅が狭く、したがって、廉価な素材を使用することができない。
以上のために、従来技術の鉄道車両連結部の転落防止装置は製造コストが低廉でないという問題がある。
この発明は、従来技術の上記問題を解消することを目的として、(1)弾性防壁Gを車両妻面に開閉方向に回動可能に取り付けるヒンジ機構を、弾性防壁の相互干渉を緩和できるように工夫するとともに、(2)ブラケットの弾性防壁Gへの単純な取り付け構造を工夫することをその課題とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するために講じた手段】
上記課題を解決するために講じた手段は、縦のヒンジピンによるヒンジを介して鉄道車両の妻面に弾性防壁を取り付けた鉄道車両連結部の転落防止装置を前提として、次の要素によって構成されるものである。
(イ)ヒンジを構成するヒンジ部材が断面コ形のソケットと、弾性防壁の閉位置を規定するストッパを有し、このソケットに弾性防壁材の側端部を挿入して、固着手段によって着脱自在に固定したこと、
(ロ)ヒンジピンに捩じりコイルばねを嵌合させ、当該捩じりコイルばねの一端をヒンジピンに係合させ、車両妻面に固定されていてヒンジを構成する取付金のボスにヒンジピンを回り止め機構で固定して回り止めして、上記捩じりコイルばねの他端を上記ヒンジ部材に当接させて該捩じりコイルばねで弾性防壁を閉じ方向に付勢したこと、
(ハ)捩じりコイルばねによる付勢力で、上記ヒンジ部材のストッパを上記取付金に当接させて弾性防壁を閉位置に保持させること。
【0006】
【作用】
ヒンジを構成するヒンジ部材に断面コ形のソケットと弾性防壁の閉位置を規定するストッパを設け、上記ソケットに弾性防壁材の側端縁を挿入して、ボルト、止め捩子、リベットなどの固着手段によって固定したことによって、平板を打ち抜いて製作した弾性防壁材をヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットに嵌めて固定する構造を採用できるから、弾性防壁材の加工コストが廉価である。また、上記平板等の素材は廉価な任意の材料で製作されるから、その素材コストが廉価である。
また、ヒンジピンを取付金のボスに回り止めし、このヒンジピンに捩じりコイルばねを嵌合させてこれで弾性防壁を閉方向に付勢し、弾性防壁材に固定したヒンジ部材のストッパ面を取付金に圧接させるものであるから、弾性防壁は呷られることなしに閉位置に安定的に保持される。
【0007】
弾性防壁の車両連結器側への回動は上記ストッパによって阻止されるから、人間がこれに倒れかかっても弾性防壁でしっかり支えられるので、転落防止手段としての機能に支障がなく、また、捩じりコイルばねの付勢力に抗して開方向(外方向)に回動することができるから、車両連結部が屈曲するとき左右の弾性防壁材が相互に干渉(衝突、擦れ合いなど)しても、この接触によってその一方が上記付勢力に抗して外側に回動して逃げる。したがって、相互干渉時の衝撃は低減され、両弾性防壁材が擦傷するほどに強く擦れ合うことはない。それ故、相互干渉による弾性防壁材の摩耗、損傷は低減される。
また、弾性防壁はコイルばねの付勢力に抗してこれを自由に外側に開くことができるから、作業者は弾性防壁をコイルばねの付勢力に抗して外側に開くことで車両連結部の空間へ自由に出入りすることができる。
ヒンジピンの取付金に対する回り止を外すことによって、捩じりコイルばねによる弾性防壁に対する付勢は解除されるから、弾性防壁を解放状態に放置することができる。したがって、車両連結部の空間への作業者の出入りを全く自由、容易にし、かつ弾性防壁が車両連結部の空間での作業の邪魔にならないようにすることができる。
【0008】
なお、ヒンジピンの取付金に対する回り止めは、ロックピンを差し込む構造でもよく、ヒンジピンの外面の一部に平坦部を設け、取付金のボス(ヒンジピンを回動可能に嵌合させたボス)の捩子穴にロックボルトを螺合させて、その先端を上記平坦部に係合させるものでもよい。要するに、ロック解除が比較的簡単に行えるものであればよいのであるから、種々の回り止め機構を採用することができる。
【0009】
【実施態様1】
実施態様1は、上記解決手段について次の(ニ)及び(ホ)のようにしたことである。
(ニ)ヒンジピンに六角頭又は四角頭を設け、当該六角頭又は四角頭に工具をかけて上記捩じりコイルばねに抗してヒンジピンを回動させれるようにしたこと、
(ホ)上記回り止め機構によるヒンジピンに対する固定位置を多段に調整可能にしたこと。
【0010】
【作用】
回り止め機構によるヒンジピンの固定を解除し、ヒンジピンの六角頭又は四角頭にスパナをかけてヒンジピンを回動させ、固定位置を変更することによって捩じりコイルばねによる弾性防壁に対する付勢力、すなわち上記ストッパの上記取付金への押付力を調整することができる。
弾性防壁の煽りを防止し、かつその開閉操作に支障の無い程度に上記捩じりコイルばねによる付勢力を、組み付け後に容易に調整することができる。
【0011】
【実施態様2】
実施態様2は、上記課題(2)の解決手段を付加したものであって、上記解決手段について次の(ヘ)乃至(チ)のようにしたことである。
(ヘ)ヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットの側面及び弾性防壁材の側端部の側面に横孔を設けたこと、
(ト)弾性防壁材の側端部の上記横孔をテーパー孔にしたこと、
(チ)弾性防壁材の上記横孔にテーパーピンを嵌合させ、ヒンジ部材の上記横孔に挿入したボルト等の締付手段によって上記テーパーピンを締め付けて、ヒンジ部材に弾性防壁材の側部を固定したこと。
【0012】
【作用】
弾性防壁材のテーパー状の上記横孔(テーパー孔)にテーパーピンを嵌合させ、これを締め付けると、テーパーピンの楔作用で弾性防壁材の上記テーパー状横孔が拡開されるから、これによって弾性防壁材の側端部が膨らまされる。したがって、弾性防壁材をヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットにしっかりと固定することができる。
上記ボルトを外すことによって弾性防壁材はヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットから容易に外されるから、その交換を簡単容易に行うことができる。
【0013】
【実施態様3】
実施態様3は、上記実施態様2の上記テーパーピンの一端に捩子軸を突設して、この捩子軸を断面コ形のソケットの横孔から突出させ、これにナットを螺合させ、このナットでテーパーピンを締め付けたことである。
【0014】
【実施態様4】
実施態様4は、上記実施態様2の上記テーパーピンの一端に捩子穴を設け、この捩子穴に断面コ形のソケットの横孔に挿入したボルトを螺合させ、これによってテーパーピンを締め付けたことである。
【0015】
【実施態様5】
実施態様5は、上記実施態様2の上記テーパーピンに中心貫通孔を設け、断面コ形のソケットの横孔及び上記テーパーピンの上記中心貫通孔にボルトを挿通させ、ボルトにナットを螺合させ、断面コ形のソケットの側壁を締め付け、これによってテーパーピンを締め付けたことである。
【0016】
【実施態様6】
実施態様6は、上記解決手段において、断面コ形のソケットの側壁内面に多数の歯を突設し、断面コ形のソケット及び弾性防壁材の側端部の横穴にボルトを挿通させ、このボルトにナットを螺合させ、断面コ形のソケットの側壁を締め付けて、上記歯を弾性防壁材の側面に食い込ませるとともに断面コ形のソケットの側壁で弾性防壁材の側端部を挟み付けて固定したことである。
【0017】
【実施態様7】
実施態様7は、実施態様6の断面コ形のソケットを断面L形の一方の側壁部材と他方の側壁部材との組み合わせで構成したことである。
【0018】
【実施例】
次いで、図4〜図15を参照して、実施例を説明する。
鉄道車両の妻面の左右両外側にヒンジHにより弾性防壁Gを取り付けてある。上記ヒンジHは、上下の取付金31、中間の取付金31aと縦長のヒンジ部材32とヒンジピン33、33aとからなり、取付金31,31aのボス31bの孔とヒンジ部材32のボス32bの孔とに上記ヒンジピン33、33aを挿入してヒンジ部材32と取付金31,31aを連結している。
ヒンジ部材32は、表面に断面コ形のソケット34を備えた長い部材であり、その裏面の上下及び中間にボス32bが突設されている。また、このソケット34の側壁の内側間隔は弾性防壁材gの側端部の厚さよりも若干(例えば0.1〜0.2mm程度)大きく、また上記側壁に等間隔で6つの横孔32cが設けられており、さらに、上記ボス32bからストッパ35が突設されている。
取付金31は、鉄道車両の妻面に固定される基部にボス31bを突設した構造を有するものである。
ヒンジピン33が、上方の大径部(この例においては直径:24mm)と下方の小径部(直径:20mm)とからなる軸であり、その上端に四角部33hを有し、当該四角部33hのすぐ下方の横穴に捩じりコイルばね36を係止する係止ピン33jを打ち込み、あるいは溶接して固定している。また、ヒンジピン33の下方小直径部の下端部に、回り止め用の上下一対の横孔33kを設けている。
捩じりコイルばね36は上端がC形部36aになっており、下端がアーム36bになっていて、捩じりコイルばね36の内径はヒンジピン33の大径部の外径よりも若干(例えば3mm)大径で、余裕をもって嵌合している。
テーパーピン37は、その長さが約27mm程度であり、ヒンジ部材32のソケット34の内側間隔よりも4mm程度長く、その大径部の直径は15mmで、小径部の直径は約10mm程度であり、当該小径部の端面にねじ穴37aを設けている。
【0019】
この実施例においては、断面コ形のソケット34の一方の側壁の横孔32cはテーパーピン37の大径部が遊嵌する程度の直径を有し、他方の側壁の横孔32dは、締め付けねじが挿入される程度の直径を有し、かつ、皿もみされている。
弾性防壁材gは比較的弾性があり、人間が倒れかかったときにこれを支え得る強度があれば、その素材、材料の如何、断面形状の如何を問わないから、硬質ゴム板、軟質プラスチック板、硬質発砲樹脂板などを用いることができ、軽量化、低コスト化のためには、発砲樹脂板に化粧被覆層を積層したもの、あるいは適宜の塗装を施したものが適当である。この弾性防壁材gは、発砲樹脂板を所定の大きさに打ち抜き、その上下両端、前後両側の端面を加工して丸みをつけた平板であって、厚さが22mm、長さが1100mm、幅が167mmであって、その一方の側端部に等間隔でテーパーピン37よりも若干小径の6つのテーパー孔38(図10参照)が設けられている。
弾性防壁材gの上記一方の側端部をヒンジ部材32のソケット34に嵌合させ、ソケット34の一方の側壁の横孔32cから、テーパーピン37を弾性防壁材gの上記テーパー孔38に挿入し、他方の側壁の横孔32dに皿ねじ39を挿入して、テーパーピン37の端面のねじ穴37aに捩じ込んで締め付ける。これによって弾性防壁材gがソケット34に固定され、ヒンジ部材32が弾性防壁材gに組み付けられる。
【0020】
ヒンジピン33の大径部に捩じりコイルばね36を遊嵌させ、その上端のC形部36aをヒンジピン33の係止ピン33jに係止させて連結する。この状態でヒンジピン33の小径部をヒンジ部材32のボス32b、取付金31のボス31bの縦孔に挿入して、ヒンジ部材32を取付金31に回動可能に連結する。この段階ではヒンジピン33は、ボス31bに固定されていないので回動自在であるから、その四角部33hにスパナをかけて回転させて、捩じりコイルばね36を捩じり、所定の強さまでコイルばね36を捩った状態で、取付金31のボス31bの横孔31k及びヒンジピン33の横孔33kにロックピン40を挿入して、ヒンジピン33をボス31bに固定する。なお、この実施例では2本のロックピン40でヒンジピン33をボス31bに固定しているが、これはロックピン40の破損に対する安全確保のためである。
【0021】
捩じりコイルばね36の捩じり力を調整してヒンジピン33が取付金31のボス31bに固定されたとき、捩じりコイルばね36のアーム36bが、その捩じり力で、ヒンジ部材32のソケット34の外側面を車両の連結器側へ押圧しているので、そのストッパ35が取付金31の基部に圧接され、弾性防壁材gは車両の妻面に直角の位置(閉位置)にしっかり保持される。
ヒンジピン33の上下の横孔33kはそれぞれ一つであるから、捩じりコイルばね36の捩じり力調整のためのヒンジピン33の回動位置の調整範囲は180度であるが、ヒンジピン33を180度回動させることによる捩じりコイルばね36の捩じり力の増分はわずかである(例えば3〜6%)から、これでコイルばね36の捩じり力を微小調整することが可能である。
【0022】
【他の実施例】
上記実施例はテーパーピン37の小径端面にねじ穴を設け、これに皿ねじ39を捩じ込んでテーパーピン37を締め付ける構造を採用しているが、テーパーピン37の小径端面にねじ軸37bを突設し(図13参照)、このねじ軸37bをソケット34の外に突出させて、これに袋ナットを螺合させて締め付ける構造を採用することもできる。
【0023】
また、長さが上記テーパーピン37よりも若干短いテーパーピン41の大径端に小径凸部41aを設け(図14参照)、テーパーピン41に中心穴を設け、小径凸部41aをソケット34の一方の側壁の外に突出させ、これにボルト42を挿通させ、先端にナットNを螺合させて締め付け、ボルト42の頭でテーパーピン41の小径凸部42を押してテーパーピン41を押し込み、テーパーピン41による楔作用とボルト42の締め付け力とによって弾性防壁材gをソケット34に固定するようにすることもできる。
【0024】
また、テーパーピンを用いることなく、ボルトの締め付け力でソケットの両側壁で弾性防壁材gを挟み付けて固定することもできる。この場合は、断面コ形のソケットの両壁を一体物にしないで、別体の側壁部材43、44でソケット34を構成する構造にすることもできる(図15参照)。この場合は、一方の側壁部材43にボス43b及びストッパ35aを設け、他方の側壁部材44を合わせて止めねじ45で連結する。また、ソケット34に弾性防壁材gの側端部を嵌め込み、ボルト45を通して、袋ナット46で締めて、側壁部材43,44で弾性防壁材gの側端部を挟み付けて固定する。この場合、側壁部材43,44の内面に縦のスプライン歯等の歯(突起)を多数設ければ、これが弾性防壁材gの側面に食い込むので、弾性防壁材gとソケット34との結合強度は一層強固になる。なお、この例においては、六角頭付きのボルト45を側壁部材43の横孔から挿入するようにしているが、ボルトを上記側壁部材43に溶接して固着した構造にすることもできる。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
1.第1の発明の効果
縦のヒンジピンのよるヒンジを介して妻面に弾性防壁を取り付けた鉄道車両連結部の転落防止装置について、ヒンジを構成するヒンジ部材が断面コ形のソケットと、弾性防壁の閉位置を規定するストッパを有し、このソケットに弾性防壁材の側端部を挿入して、固着手段によって着脱自在に固定し、ヒンジピンに捩じりコイルばねを嵌合させ、当該捩じりコイルばねの一端をヒンジピンに係合させ、車両妻面に固定されていてヒンジを構成する取付金のボスにヒンジピンを回り止めして、当該捩じりコイルばねで弾性防壁を閉じ方向に付勢し、捩じりコイルばねによる付勢力で、上記ヒンジ部材のストッパを上記取付金に当接させて閉位置に保持させたことによって、弾性防壁は車両内側(車両連結器側)へは動かないから、人間がこれに倒れかかってもこれで確実に支えられる。他方、弾性防壁は、捩じりコイルばねの付勢力に抗して車両外側方向へは自由に動けるから、車両連結部が大きく屈曲して対向する一対の弾性防壁が互いに干渉しても、その一方が車両外側方向に逃げるので当該干渉による弾性防壁材の損傷が低減される。したがって、弾性防壁材については上記干渉による衝撃緩和、耐摩耗性確保等のための特別の配慮は不要である。それ故、弾性防壁材については、所定の強度があれば様々な素材を使用することができるから、材料コストを低減することができる。
また、弾性防壁は上記捩じりコイルばねの付勢力に抗して外側に回動されるから、作業員はこれを簡単容易に外側に開くことができ、これを開いた状態で妻面間の空間に自由に出入りすることができる。したがって、車両連結部のメンテナンス作業等の作業性が向上する。
【0026】
2.第2の発明の効果
上記ヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットの側面及び弾性防壁材の側端部に横孔を設け、弾性防壁材の側端部の上記横孔をテーパー孔にし、弾性防壁材の上記横孔にテーパーピンを嵌合させ、ヒンジ部材の上記横孔から挿入したボルト等の締付手段によって上記テーパーピンを締め付けて、ヒンジ部材に弾性防壁材の側端部を固定したことにより、弾性防壁材のテーパー状の上記横孔(テーパー孔)にテーパーピンを嵌合させ、これを締め付けると、テーパーピンの楔作用で弾性防壁材のテーパー状の上記横孔が拡開されるから、これによって弾性防壁材の側端部が膨らまされ、ヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットにしっかり固定される。また、上記ボルトを外すことによって弾性防壁材はヒンジ部材の断面コ形のソケットから容易に外されるから、その交換を簡単容易に行うことができる。したがって、弾性防壁材には金具を埋め込んでおく必要がなく、射出成形などの型成形に限られないから、打ち抜き加工などの単純な加工法で成形することができ、弾性防壁材の成形加工法の自由度が増す。それゆえ、弾性防壁材の素材、材料の選択の幅が広がり、素材コスト、成形加工コストを大幅に低減することができる。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a protective device (a so-called railroad vehicle connecting portion) provided on both the left and right sides of the wagon surface of a railroad vehicle in order to prevent a person from falling from the platform to a space of the railroad vehicle connecting portion (space between wives). The present invention relates to a fall prevention device having an elastic barrier attached to a wife surface by a vertical hinge pin, in particular, which simplifies the mechanism of the device and allows a worker to enter a space of a railcar connecting portion. With regard to work such as maintenance of the connecting portion, it is possible to easily release the elastic barrier to the outside of the worker in and out of the space, thereby facilitating access to the space.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is well known that a fall prevention device is provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting portion of a railway vehicle (left and right sides of a wife's face). A typical example of the mechanism and structure of the fall prevention device is a bellows-shaped hood. However, recently, those shown in FIG. 1 are common. The conventional device shown in FIG. 1 has an advantage that the mechanism is extremely simple and no special maintenance is required.
In the prior art shown in FIG. 1, vertically long elastic barriers (in this case, outer hoods made of hollow elastic members) G are fixedly protruded on the right and left sides of the rear side of the vehicle. . When the vehicle is on a straight line, the pair of opposing elastic barriers G, G are in the same plane, and when the connecting portion is largely bent, the elastic barriers G, G interfere with each other (colliding and rubbing each other). ), There is a relatively narrow gap between the ends of the elastic barrier material. However, traveling large (having a small radius of curvature) line on the curvature, the connecting portion is large bends, one of the elastic barrier G on the left and right sides of the vehicle, the elastic barrier material G will interfere (Fig. 1 (State of broken line in (c)). Various measures have been devised for the elastic barrier G in such a structure, and one example thereof is described in JP-A-8-169335. The elastic barrier material of the elastic barrier G is required to be strong enough to support a person who has fallen down on the elastic barrier G, but is required to have a required elasticity in order to reduce impact and damage at the time of interference. Further, the gap between the elastic barrier materials G of the two elastic barriers G, G (for example, the gap S in FIG. 2) is preferably narrow in order to prevent a falling person from falling down from this gap. On the other hand, in order to reduce mutual interference when the vehicle connecting portion is bent, it is desirable that the gap S be as wide as possible. For this reason, the gap S between the ends of the elastic barrier materials of the elastic barriers G, G is not large enough to allow a human to pass through, and is not flexible enough to be pushed away while elastically deforming the human to pass through. Absent.
[0003]
For this reason, when entering or leaving the space between the wives, the worker goes under the elastic barriers G and G and enters and exits the space. In order to avoid such inconvenience, elastic barriers G, G are attached to the vehicle rear surface via a hinge device, and are usually held in a closed position (a position substantially perpendicular to the vehicle rear surface), and when necessary, An elastic barrier G is rotated to an open position (a position protruding outward substantially parallel to the wife's surface) is known (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-1165). As shown in FIG. 2, this is formed by connecting a mounting metal 21 having an L-shaped cross section fixed to a wife surface D of a vehicle and a bracket 22 having an L-shaped cross section fixed to an elastic barrier G with a vertical hinge pin 23. Yes, the bracket 22 is urged downward with respect to the mounting metal 21 by an urging means by an elastic spring to mechanically lock and hold the elastic barrier G at the closed position, thereby resisting the urging force of the urging means. Then, the bracket 22 is pushed up to release the lock and then can be turned to the open position. The elastic barrier material of the elastic barrier G according to the prior art is formed by injection molding, and the metal fitting 24 is embedded at the time of injection molding, and the bracket 22 is fixed to the metal fitting 24 by screwing (hereinafter, referred to as “metal”). This is referred to as “prior art”).
Since the hinge mechanism by the hinge pin 23 is normally locked, the elastic barrier G is in a fixed state. For this reason, in order to reduce the mutual interference between the elastic barriers G, G when the connecting portion is bent, the directions of the left and right elastic barriers G, G are slightly shifted inward and outward. However, in reality, mutual interference of the elastic barriers is unavoidable. To reduce damage to the elastic barriers due to the mutual interference, the elastic barriers are made of a material having a certain degree of elasticity and excellent wear resistance. Need to be created.
[0004]
[Problem to be solved]
By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, the hinge mechanism for attaching the elastic barrier G to the vehicular surface of the vehicle so as to be rotatable in the opening and closing direction locks and unlocks the hinge by raising and lowering the elastic barrier G. However, since the lock operation is performed by lifting the elastic barrier G, there is a problem that the unlock operation for opening the elastic barrier G is not easy.
Even if the elastic barrier material is elastically deformed to some extent to reduce damage due to mutual interference, it must have the required rigidity and strength because it is a fall prevention wall, and the elastic barrier is fixed in the closed position Therefore, there is a problem that damage due to mutual interference is inevitable.
Furthermore, since the bracket for attaching the hinge constituting the hinge to the elastic barrier material is embedded in the elastic barrier material, its structure is not simple, and the elastic barrier material is not only injection-molded, but also its material. Is limited, and the range of selection is narrow, so that inexpensive materials cannot be used.
For this reason, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the prior art fall prevention device for a railway vehicle connecting portion is not inexpensive.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims at solving the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. (1) A hinge mechanism for attaching an elastic barrier G to a vehicular surface of a vehicle so as to be rotatable in an opening and closing direction so that mutual interference between the elastic barriers can be reduced. It is an object of the invention to (2) devise a simple mounting structure of the bracket to the elastic barrier wall G.
[0005]
[Measures taken to solve the problem]
Means taken to solve the above problem is constituted by the following elements on the premise of a fall prevention device of a railway vehicle connecting portion in which an elastic barrier is attached to a wagon surface of a railway vehicle via a hinge by a vertical hinge pin. Things.
(A) A hinge member constituting a hinge has a socket having a U-shaped cross section and a stopper for defining a closed position of the elastic barrier, and a side end of the elastic barrier is inserted into this socket and is detachable by a fixing means. Fixed to
(B) A torsion coil spring is fitted to the hinge pin, one end of the torsion coil spring is engaged with the hinge pin, and the hinge pin is turned around a boss of a mounting metal fixed to the vehicular surface and constituting the hinge. Fixed by a stopper mechanism to prevent rotation , the other end of the torsion coil spring is brought into contact with the hinge member, and the elastic barrier is urged in the closing direction by the torsion coil spring ;
(C) The stopper of the hinge member is brought into contact with the mounting metal by the urging force of the torsion coil spring to hold the elastic barrier in the closed position.
[0006]
[Action]
A hinge member that constitutes the hinge is provided with a socket having a U-shaped cross section and a stopper that defines the closed position of the elastic barrier, and a side edge of the elastic barrier material is inserted into the socket to secure bolts, set screws, rivets, and the like. By fixing by means, an elastic barrier material manufactured by stamping a flat plate can be adopted to be fitted and fixed to a socket having a U-shaped cross section of the hinge member, so that the processing cost of the elastic barrier material is inexpensive. Further, since the material such as the flat plate is made of an inexpensive arbitrary material, the material cost is low.
Further, the hinge pin is prevented from rotating around the boss of the mounting metal, a torsion coil spring is fitted to the hinge pin, and the elastic barrier is urged in the closing direction by this, and the stopper surface of the hinge member fixed to the elastic barrier material is removed. Since the elastic barrier is pressed against the mounting metal, the elastic barrier is stably held in the closed position without being moaned.
[0007]
Since the rotation of the elastic barrier to the vehicle coupler side is prevented by the stopper, even if a person falls down, the elastic barrier is firmly supported by the elastic barrier, so that the function as the fall prevention means is not hindered. Since it can rotate in the opening direction (outward) against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring, the left and right elastic barrier materials interfere with each other (collision, rubbing, etc.) when the vehicle connecting portion is bent. However, due to this contact, one of them turns outward and escapes against the urging force. Therefore, the impact at the time of mutual interference is reduced, and the elastic barrier materials do not rub against each other so strongly that they are scratched. Therefore, wear and damage of the elastic barrier material due to mutual interference are reduced.
Also, since the elastic barrier can freely open outward against the urging force of the coil spring, the operator opens the elastic barrier outward to oppose the urging force of the coil spring, thereby forming the vehicle connecting portion. You can freely enter and exit the space.
By removing the rotation stopper of the hinge pin from the mounting metal, the biasing of the elastic barrier by the torsion coil spring is released, so that the elastic barrier can be left open. Therefore, it is possible to completely and easily allow the worker to enter and exit the space of the vehicle connection portion, and to prevent the elastic barrier from hindering the work in the space of the vehicle connection portion.
[0008]
The hinge pin may be prevented from rotating with respect to the mounting metal by a structure in which a lock pin is inserted. A flat portion is provided on a part of the outer surface of the hinge pin, and the boss of the mounting metal (a boss on which the hinge pin is rotatably fitted) is screwed. A lock bolt may be screwed into the hole, and the tip may be engaged with the flat portion. In short, it is only necessary that the lock can be released relatively easily, and various detent mechanisms can be employed.

The inner space between the side walls of the socket 34 is slightly larger (for example, about 0.1 to 0.2 mm) than the thickness of the side end of the elastic barrier material g, and six side holes 32c are formed at equal intervals in the side wall. The boss 32b is provided with a stopper 35 protruding therefrom.
The mounting metal 31 has a structure in which a boss 31b is protruded from a base portion fixed to the wive surface of the railway vehicle.
The hinge pin 33 is a shaft composed of an upper large-diameter portion (diameter: 24 mm in this example) and a lower small-diameter portion (diameter: 20 mm), and has a square portion 33h at the upper end thereof. A locking pin 33j for locking the torsion coil spring 36 is driven into the lateral hole immediately below or fixed by welding. A pair of upper and lower lateral holes 33k for preventing rotation are provided at the lower end of the lower small diameter portion of the hinge pin 33.
The upper end of the torsion coil spring 36 is a C-shaped portion 36a, and the lower end is an arm 36b. The inner diameter of the torsion coil spring 36 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the large diameter portion of the hinge pin 33 (for example, 3mm) Large diameter and fit with margin.
The taper pin 37 has a length of about 27 mm, is about 4 mm longer than the inner space of the socket 34 of the hinge member 32, has a large-diameter portion having a diameter of 15 mm, and a small-diameter portion having a diameter of approximately 10 mm. A screw hole 37a is provided in the end face of the small diameter portion.
[0019]
In this embodiment, the lateral hole 32c in one side wall of the socket 34 having a U-shaped cross section has a diameter such that the large-diameter portion of the tapered pin 37 fits loosely, and the lateral hole 32d in the other side wall is a fastening screw. Has a diameter enough to be inserted, and a dish is also seen.
The elastic barrier material g is relatively elastic, so long as it is strong enough to support a person when it falls down, regardless of the material, material, or cross-sectional shape thereof, a hard rubber plate or a soft plastic plate A hard foamed resin plate or the like can be used, and in order to reduce the weight and cost, a foamed resin plate laminated with a decorative coating layer or an appropriately coated one is suitable. The elastic barrier material g is a flat plate obtained by punching a foamed resin plate into a predetermined size, processing the upper and lower ends, and the front and rear end surfaces thereof, and rounding the plate. The thickness is 22 mm, the length is 1100 mm, and the width is Is 167 mm, and six tapered holes 38 (see FIG. 10) slightly smaller in diameter than the tapered pin 37 are provided at one side end thereof at regular intervals.
The one side end of the elastic barrier material g is fitted into the socket 34 of the hinge member 32, and a taper pin 37 is inserted into the taper hole 38 of the elastic barrier material g from the lateral hole 32c of one side wall of the socket 34. Then, a countersunk screw 39 is inserted into the lateral hole 32d on the other side wall, and screwed into the screw hole 37a on the end face of the tapered pin 37 to be tightened. As a result, the elastic barrier material g is fixed to the socket 34, and the hinge member 32 is assembled to the elastic barrier material g.
[0020]
The torsion coil spring 36 is loosely fitted to the large-diameter portion of the hinge pin 33, and the C-shaped portion 36 a at the upper end thereof is locked to the locking pin 33 j of the hinge pin 33 for connection. In this state, the small diameter portion of the hinge pin 33 is inserted into the boss 32b of the hinge member 32 and the vertical hole of the boss 31b of the mounting member 31, and the hinge member 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 31. At this stage, since the hinge pin 33 is not fixed to the boss 31b and is rotatable, the spanner 33h is rotated with a wrench to rotate the torsion coil spring 36 to a predetermined strength. With the coil spring 36 twisted, the lock pin 40 is inserted into the horizontal hole 31k of the boss 31b of the mounting metal 31 and the horizontal hole 33k of the hinge pin 33, and the hinge pin 33 is fixed to the boss 31b. In this embodiment, the hinge pin 33 is fixed to the boss 31b with the two lock pins 40, but this is for securing safety against breakage of the lock pin 40.
[0021]
When the torsion force of the torsion coil spring 36 is adjusted and the hinge pin 33 is fixed to the boss 31b of the mounting member 31, the arm 36b of the torsion coil spring 36 is turned by the torsion force to the hinge member. Since the outer surface of the socket 32 is pressed against the coupler side of the vehicle, the stopper 35 is pressed against the base of the mounting metal 31, and the elastic barrier material g is at a position perpendicular to the vehicular surface of the vehicle (closed position). Firmly held.
Since the upper and lower horizontal holes 33k of the hinge pin 33 are respectively one, the adjustment range of the rotation position of the hinge pin 33 for adjusting the torsional force of the torsion coil spring 36 is 180 degrees. Since the torsional force of the torsion coil spring 36 is slightly increased (for example, 3 to 6%) by rotating by 180 degrees, the torsional force of the coil spring 36 can be finely adjusted. It is.
[0022]
[Other embodiments]
The above embodiment employs a structure in which a screw hole is provided in the small-diameter end surface of the taper pin 37, and a flat head screw 39 is screwed into the small-diameter end surface to tighten the taper pin 37. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the screw shaft 37b is projected out of the socket 34, and a cap nut is screwed onto the screw shaft 37b and tightened (see FIG. 13).
[0023]
Also, a small-diameter convex portion 41a is provided at the large-diameter end of the taper pin 41 whose length is slightly shorter than the taper pin 37 (see FIG. 14), a center hole is provided in the taper pin 41, and the small-diameter convex portion 41a is One of the side walls is protruded, a bolt 42 is inserted through the side wall, a nut N is screwed into the tip, and tightened. The head of the bolt 42 pushes the small-diameter convex portion 42 of the taper pin 41 to push the taper pin 41 into the taper pin 41. The elastic barrier material g can be fixed to the socket 34 by the wedge action of the pin 41 and the tightening force of the bolt 42.
[0024]
Also, the elastic barrier material g can be sandwiched and fixed between both side walls of the socket by the tightening force of the bolt without using a taper pin. In this case, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the socket 34 is constituted by separate side wall members 43 and 44 without forming both walls of the socket having a U-shaped cross section as one body (see FIG. 15). In this case, a boss 43b and a stopper 35a are provided on one of the side wall members 43, and the other side wall members 44 are combined and connected by a set screw 45. Also, the side end of the elastic barrier material g is fitted into the socket 34, passed through a bolt 45, fastened with a cap nut 46, and fixed by sandwiching the side end of the elastic barrier material g between the side wall members 43 and 44. In this case, if a large number of teeth (projections) such as vertical spline teeth are provided on the inner surfaces of the side wall members 43 and 44, they will bite into the side surfaces of the elastic barrier material g, so that the bonding strength between the elastic barrier material g and the socket 34 is reduced. It will be even stronger. In this example, the bolt 45 with a hexagonal head is inserted from the side hole of the side wall member 43. However, a structure in which the bolt is welded and fixed to the side wall member 43 may be adopted.

【The invention's effect】
1. Effect of the First Invention Regarding a fall prevention device for a railway vehicle connecting portion in which an elastic barrier is attached to a wife surface via a hinge formed by a vertical hinge pin, a hinge member forming a hinge has a socket having a U-shaped cross section, and an elastic barrier. A stopper for defining a closed position is provided, and a side end of the elastic barrier material is inserted into this socket, fixed removably by fixing means, a torsion coil spring is fitted to the hinge pin, and the torsion is performed. One end of the coil spring is engaged with the hinge pin, the hinge pin is prevented from rotating on the boss of the mounting metal fixed to the vehicle wive surface and constituting the hinge, and the elastic barrier is urged in the closing direction by the torsion coil spring. Then, the bias of the torsion coil spring causes the stopper of the hinge member to come into contact with the mounting metal and to be held at the closed position, so that the elastic barrier does not move inward of the vehicle (the vehicle coupler side). From Human beings is certainly supported by this is also nearing fallen to this. On the other hand, since the elastic barrier can freely move outward in the vehicle direction against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring, even if the vehicle connecting portion is largely bent and a pair of elastic barriers facing each other interfere with each other, the elastic barrier is not affected. Since one escapes in the vehicle outward direction, damage to the elastic barrier material due to the interference is reduced. Therefore, no special consideration is required for the elastic barrier material for alleviating the impact due to the interference and ensuring the abrasion resistance. Therefore, since various materials can be used as long as the elastic barrier material has a predetermined strength, material costs can be reduced.
Further, since the elastic barrier is turned outwardly against the urging force of the torsion coil spring, the worker can easily open it outward, and in a state where the elastic wall is opened, the gap between the wives can be obtained. You can freely enter and exit the space. Therefore, workability such as maintenance work of the vehicle connecting portion is improved.
[0026]
2. According to the second aspect of the present invention, a lateral hole is provided in a side surface of the socket having a U-shaped cross section of the hinge member and a side end of the elastic barrier material, and the lateral hole at the side end of the elastic barrier material is tapered. By fitting a taper pin into the lateral hole of the above, tightening the taper pin by a fastening means such as a bolt inserted from the lateral hole of the hinge member, and fixing the side end of the elastic barrier material to the hinge member. When a tapered pin is fitted into the tapered lateral hole (tapered hole) of the elastic barrier material and tightened, the tapered lateral hole of the elastic barrier material is expanded by the wedge action of the tapered pin. Thereby, the side end portion of the elastic barrier material is inflated, and is firmly fixed to the socket having a U-shaped cross section of the hinge member. Also, by removing the bolt, the elastic barrier material can be easily removed from the socket having the U-shaped cross section of the hinge member, and thus the replacement can be performed easily and easily. Therefore, it is not necessary to embed metal fittings in the elastic barrier material, and it is not limited to die molding such as injection molding. Therefore, the elastic barrier material can be formed by a simple processing method such as punching. The degree of freedom increases. Therefore, the range of materials and materials for the elastic barrier material can be widened, and material costs and molding costs can be significantly reduced.
