Rail vehicle with a deformation zone
A rail vehicle including at least one deformation zone arranged at each end side, where the deformation zone has a collision frame, a multiplicity of deformation elements and two A pillars, where the deformation elements are oriented radially about the front structure of the wagon body and are respectively connected at one of their ends to the wagon body, and where the collision frame connects the ends, facing away from the wagon body, of the deformation elements and is arranged about the front structure of the wagon body in an arcuate manner, and where the two A pillars each extend between the wagon body and the collision frame and are permanently connected to the collision frame.
1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
at least one deformation zone arranged on an end face of the rail vehicle, the at least one deformation zone comprising:
a collision frame having side ends which are joined to the wagon body structure;
a plurality of deformation elements incorporated; and
two A-pillars;
wherein the plurality of deformation elements are aligned radially around a front structure of a wagon body of the rail vehicle and are each joined to the wagon body at one end of the wagon body;
wherein the collision frame joins together those ends of the deformation elements which face away from the wagon body and is arranged in an arcuate shaped manner around the front structure of the wagon body; and
wherein each of the two A-pillars extends between the wagon body and the collision frame and is permanently connected to the collision frame.
2. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of deformation elements are arranged in several horizontal planes.
3. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plurality of deformation elements ( 3 ) are constructed as crash tubes.
4. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of deformation elements are constructed as crash tubes.
5. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one deformation zone includes an anticlimber which is arranged on a nose of the vehicle on the collision frame.
6. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one deformation zone includes a front deformation element which is arranged on the nose of the vehicle on the collision frame.
7. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one deformation zone is formed as an assembly which is removably affixed to the wagon body.
