Heated emergency release
An external emergency unlocking device of a door. The emergency unlocking device includes an emergency actuating device which can be protected against icing by a heating element. A corresponding passenger transport means, in particular a rail vehicle, is also disclosed.
1 . An external emergency unlocking device of a door of a passenger transport vehicle, comprising an emergency actuating device and at least one heating element, wherein the at least one heating element is arranged on at least one of the emergency unlocking device and the emergency actuating device such that the emergency actuating device is protected against icing by the heating element,
wherein the emergency actuating device is embedded in a hollow of a vehicle body, and
wherein the hollow and the emergency actuating device are covered by a flap attached to the vehicle body.
2 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein the emergency actuating device does not serve as a standard opening actuating device for the door.
3 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover flap comprises the at least one heating element, or wherein the cover flap and the emergency actuating device comprise the at least one heating element.
4 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heating element is at least one of an electrically heating and a linear heating element.
5 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heating element is installed at a rear side of the hollow facing the passenger transport vehicle and from inside behind the hollow.
6 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heating element is mounted by means of bonding.
7 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 6 , wherein the bonding is carried out by means of a thermally conductive adhesive.
8 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 6 , wherein the thermally conductive adhesive is a two-component epoxy- or silicone-based adhesive.
9 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of control, regulation, and monitoring of the at least one heating element is monitored by a thermal sensor and regulated by control electronics.
10 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of control, regulation, and monitoring of the at least one heating element takes place via an air conditioning system.
11 . The external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a control and regulation device and the at least one heating element are operated by an autonomous power supply.
12 . A door assembly for a passenger transport vehicle, the door assembly, comprising a door and a standard opening actuating device for opening and closing the door during intended operation of the passenger transport vehicle and an external emergency unlocking device according to claim 1 .
13 . The door assembly according to claim 12 , further comprising a closing mechanism for locking the door in a door frame of the passenger transport vehicle, wherein the emergency actuating device is configured such that the closing mechanism can be opened purely mechanically and without opening-effective actuation of electrical/electronic action mechanisms.
