Les voies ferrées, nouvelles ou anciennes, présentent des caractéristiques différentes. Les rames destinées à circuler sur une voie ferrée sont conçues en fonction des caractéristiques spécifiques de cette voie ferrée (rayons de courbure des virages, pente, gabarit...), et d'autres caractéristiques (vitesse de déplacement, nombre de voyageurs...).Railway tracks, new or old, have different characteristics. The trains intended to run on a railway are designed according to the specific characteristics of this railway (radius of curve curvature, slope, jig, etc.), and other characteristics (speed of movement, number of passengers). .).

De plus, les rames de transport de voyageurs sont généralement produites en petites séries, de l'ordre de la centaine d'unités.This led to the design and manufacture of new trains, for new railways or for the renewal of the trains of the old railways. In addition, passenger trains are generally produced in small series, of the order of one hundred units.

Le terme « porté » désigne un élément dépourvu d'unité de support et de guidage, et destiné à être suspendu à un ou deux éléments porteurs.The term "worn" means an element without support unit and guide, and intended to be suspended from one or two support elements.

Le terme « module » désigne un tronçon intermédiaire de rame destiné à être disposé entre deux autres tronçons de rame, c'est-à-dire entre deux autre modules, ou entre un module et un élément d'extrémité de rame tel qu'une cabine de pilotage. Le terme « module » doit être entendu comme étant un élément différent d'un élément d'extrémité qui, par définition, n'est pas un tronçon intermédiaire.The term "module" refers to an intermediate section of a train intended to be disposed between two other train sections, that is to say between two other modules, or between a module and a train end element such as a cockpit. The term "module" should be understood as a different element of an end element which, by definition, is not an intermediate section.

Ainsi, chaque module 2, 4, 6 possède une caisse respectivement 12, 14, 16 tubulaire s'étendant suivant une direction longitudinale L et ouverte à ses deux extrémités longitudinales. La caisse 14 est plus courte que la caisse 12.Thus, each module 2, 4, 6 has a box respectively 12, 14, 16 tubular extending in a longitudinal direction L and open at both longitudinal ends. The body 14 is shorter than the body 12.

Chaque caisse 12, 14, 16 possède de façon connue en soi un châssis, un pavillon et des faces latérales.Each box 12, 14, 16 has in a manner known per se a frame, a roof and side faces.

Chaque caisse 12, 14, 16 délimite intérieurement un compartiment voyageurs destiné à être aménagé, à l'aide, par exemple et de façon non limitative, de revêtements intérieurs, de sièges, de banquettes, de strapontins, de barres de maintien, de systèmes d'éclairage, de systèmes de ventilation et de climatisation et/ou de systèmes de d'affichage.Each box 12, 14, 16 delimits internally a passenger compartment intended to be arranged, using, for example and without limitation, interior linings, seats, benches, jump seats, support bars, systems lighting, ventilation and air conditioning systems and / or display systems.

Les faces latérales des caisses 12, 14, 16 sont munies de fenêtres.The lateral faces of the boxes 12, 14, 16 are provided with windows.

Les faces latérales de la caisse 12 sont dépourvues de porte. Les faces latérales des caisses 14 et 16 sont munies de portes, par exemple une porte ou deux portes. Telles que représentées sur la figure 1, la caisse 14 possède deux portes et la caisse 16 en possède uneThe side faces of the body 12 are without a door. The side faces of the boxes 14 and 16 are provided with doors, for example a door or two doors. As represented on the figure 1 , the body 14 has two doors and the body 16 has one

Les cabines 8 et 10 forment des éléments d'extrémité de rame. Chaque cabine 8, 10 possède une caisse 18, 20 profilée de façon aérodynamique et délimitant intérieurement une cabine de pilotage. En option, une cabine 8 ou 10 pourrait posséder un compartiment voyageur à l'arrière d'un poste de pilotage.Cabins 8 and 10 form ream end elements. Each cabin 8, 10 has a box 18, 20 profiled aerodynamically and internally defining a cockpit. As an option, an 8 or 10 cabin could have a passenger compartment in the back of a cockpit.

Le module 2 et la cabine 10, qui sont des éléments porteurs, comprennent chacun un bogie respectivement 22, 24.The module 2 and the cabin 10, which are carrying elements, each comprise a bogie respectively 22, 24.

Chaque bogie 22, 24 est en option motorisé, et comprend alors au moins une unité d'entraînement des roues, par exemple un moteur électrique. En variante, le bogie n'est pas motorisé.Each bogie 22, 24 is optionally motorized, and then comprises at least one wheel drive unit, for example an electric motor. Alternatively, the bogie is not motorized.

La caisse 12 possède une longueur sensiblement égale ou supérieure à la longueur du bogie 22.The body 12 has a length substantially equal to or greater than the length of the bogie 22.

Les modules 4 et 6 et la cabine 8 sont des éléments portés et sont dépourvus d'unité de support et de guidage.The modules 4 and 6 and the cabin 8 are worn elements and do not have a support and guidance unit.

Les modules 2, 4, 6 et les cabines 8, 10 sont prévus pour être fixés les uns aux autres pour former tout ou partie d'une rame.The modules 2, 4, 6 and the cabins 8, 10 are designed to be fixed to each other to form all or part of a train.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, il est possible de relier les caisses 12, 14, 16 de deux des modules 2, 4, 6 de façon articulée.According to one aspect of the invention, it is possible to connect the boxes 12, 14, 16 of two of the modules 2, 4, 6 in an articulated manner.

Pour ce faire, de manière connue en soi, on relie les caisses de deux modules de façon articulée en interposant entre les caisses de ces deux modules un dispositif d'articulation et d'intercirculation 26 reliant les caisses tout en permettant un mouvement relatif des caisses (articulation), et définissant un passage de circulation permettant aux passagers de passer d'une caisse à l'autre (intercirculation).To do this, in a manner known per se, the boxes of two modules are connected in an articulated manner by interposing between the boxes of these two modules a hinge and interconnection device 26 connecting the boxes while allowing a relative movement of the boxes (articulation), and defining a passage of circulation allowing the passengers to pass from one box to another (intercirculation).

De façon connue, l'articulation est par exemple du type rotule permettant une rotation des caisses autour d'un axe longitudinal, d'un axe transversal et d'un axe vertical. L'intercirculation est par exemple du type à soufflets.In a known manner, the articulation is for example of the ball-and-socket type enabling the crates to rotate about a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis and a vertical axis. The inter-circulation is for example of the bellows type.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, on relie les caisses de deux modules de façon rigide. La liaison rigide est effectuée par exemple par boulonnage.According to another aspect of the invention, the boxes of two modules are connected rigidly. The rigid connection is made for example by bolting.

Selon le type de liaison prévue pour l'extrémité d'un module, des organes d'interface adaptés seront fixés à l'extrémité du module.Depending on the type of connection provided for the end of a module, suitable interface members will be attached to the end of the module.

Si l'extrémité du module doit être reliée de façon articulée, on fixe sur cette extrémité des organes d'interface permettant la fixation du dispositif d'articulation et d'intercirculation. Les organes d'interface sont dans ce cas des organes venant se fixer sur le châssis, le pavillon et/ou les faces latérales de la caisse, et servant de bride de fixation au dispositif d'articulation et d'intercirculation.If the end of the module is to be connected in an articulated manner, it is fixed on this end of the interface members for fixing the articulation device and gangway. In this case, the interface members are members that are fastened to the frame, the roof and / or the lateral faces of the box, and serve as fixing flanges for the articulation and gangway device.

Si l'extrémité du module doit être fixée de façon rigide, on fixe sur cette extrémité des organes d'interface prévus pour être fixés de façon rigide, par exemple par boulonnage ou soudage, sur des organes d'interface complémentaires prévus pour être fixés sur l'extrémité d'un autre module.If the end of the module is to be fixed rigidly, it is fixed on this end of the interface members provided to be fixed rigidly, for example by bolting or welding, on complementary interface members intended to be fixed on the end of another module.

En tout état de cause, les extrémités des modules 2, 4, 6 sont prévues à l'origine pour la fixation de ces organes d'interface de liaison rigide ou articulée, de sorte qu'un même module puisse au choix être fixé sur un autre module de façon rigide ou articulée.In any case, the ends of the modules 2, 4, 6 are originally provided for the attachment of these rigid or articulated link interface members, so that the same module can optionally be fixed on a another module rigidly or articulated.

Selon l'invention, on fabrique des modules 2, 4, 6 et des cabines 8, 10 que l'on associe de différentes façons pour obtenir différents types de sous-ensembles (par exemple, comme représenté sur les Figures 2 à 10) qui forment ainsi des familles de sous-ensembles de rames ferroviaires que l'on peut associer entre eux, qu'ils soient de même type ou de types différents, et différents types de rames (par exemple, comme représenté sur les Figures 11 à 15) qui forment une famille de rames comprenant des sous-ensembles de rames formant au moins une famille de sous-ensembles selon l'invention.According to the invention, modules 2, 4, 6 and cabins 8, 10 are produced which are associated in different ways to obtain different types of subassemblies (for example, as shown in FIGS. Figures 2 to 10 ) which thus form families of railway subassemblies that can be associated with each other, whether of the same or different types, and different types of trains (for example, as shown in FIGS. Figures 11 to 15 ) which form a family of trains comprising subsets of trains forming at least one family of subassemblies according to the invention.

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 2, un sous-ensemble 30 articulé comprend un module 4 suspendu entre deux modules 2, et relié de façon articulée à chacun de ces deux modules 4 par un dispositif 26.As shown on the Figure 2 , an articulated subassembly comprises a module 4 suspended between two modules 2, and connected in an articulated manner to each of these two modules 4 by a device 26.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 3, le sous-ensemble 32 diffère du sous-ensemble 30 de la Figure 2 en ce que le module 4 est relié de façon rigide à chacun des modules 2, formant ainsi un sous-ensemble correspondant à une voiture de type « classique », autoportante et possédant un bogie 22 à chacune de ses extrémités.As represented on the Figure 3 , the subassembly 32 differs from the subassembly 30 of the Figure 2 in that the module 4 is rigidly connected to each of the modules 2, thus forming a subset corresponding to a "conventional" type car, self-supporting and having a bogie 22 at each of its ends.

Ainsi, les extrémités de la caisse 14 du module 4 sont reliées de façon rigide aux extrémités adjacentes des caisses 12 des modules 4.Thus, the ends of the box 14 of the module 4 are connected rigidly to the adjacent ends of the boxes 12 of the modules 4.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 4, un sous-ensemble 36 comprend un module 4 relié de façon rigide à une de ses extrémités à un module 2, l'autre extrémité étant libre, formant ainsi un sous-ensemble correspondant à une voiture de type « semi-remorque ».As represented on the Figure 4 , a subassembly 36 comprises a module 4 rigidly connected at one of its ends to a module 2, the other end being free, thus forming a subset corresponding to a car of the "semi-trailer" type.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, un sous-ensemble d'extrémité de rame est formé en fixant de façon rigide ou articulée, de préférence de façon rigide, une cabine 8 à un module 2 ou un cabine 10 à un module 4 ou 6.According to one aspect of the invention, a ream end subassembly is formed by rigidly or hingedly securing, preferably rigidly, a cab 8 to a module 2 or a cab 10 to a module 4 or 6 .

Tel que représenté que la Figure 5, un sous-ensemble 38 d'extrémité de rame est formé d'une cabine 8 reliée de façon rigide à un premier module 2.As shown that the Figure 5 a ream end subassembly 38 is formed of a cab 8 rigidly connected to a first module 2.

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 6, un sous-ensemble 40 d'extrémité de rame diffère de celui de la Figure 5 en ce qu'il comprend en outre un module 4 relié de façon rigide au premier module 2 du côté opposé à la cabine 8.As shown on the Figure 6 a ream end subassembly 40 differs from that of the Figure 5 in that it further comprises a module 4 rigidly connected to the first module 2 on the side opposite the cabin 8.

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 7, un sous-ensemble 42 d'extrémité de rame diffère de celui de la Figure 6 en ce qu'il comprend en outre un deuxième module 2 relié de façon rigide au module 4 du côté opposé au premier module 2.As shown on the Figure 7 a ream end subassembly 42 differs from that of the Figure 6 in that it further comprises a second module 2 rigidly connected to the module 4 on the side opposite to the first module 2.

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 8, un sous-ensemble 44 d'extrémité de rame est formé d'une cabine 10 reliée de façon rigide à un module 4.As shown on the Figure 8 a ream end subassembly 44 is formed of a cab 10 rigidly connected to a module 4.

Dans tous les sous-ensembles, il est possible de remplacer un module 4 par un module 6, si l'on souhaite un sous-ensemble de plus petite longueur.In all subsets, it is possible to replace a module 4 with a module 6, if a smaller subset is desired.

Ainsi, tel que représenté sur la Figure 9, un sous-ensemble 46 est formé d'un module 2 relié de façon rigide à un module 6.Thus, as represented on the Figure 9 a subassembly 46 is formed of a module 2 rigidly connected to a module 6.

Un sous-ensemble pourrait comprendre en outre un deuxième module 2 relié de façon rigide à l'autre extrémité du module 6, comme illustré en traits mixtes sur la Figure 9.A subassembly could further comprise a second module 2 rigidly connected to the other end of the module 6, as shown in phantom on the Figure 9 .

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 10, un sous-ensemble 48 d'extrémité de rame est formé, d'une extrémité à l'autre, d'une cabine 8, d'u module 2, et d'un module 6, reliés entre eux de façon rigide.As shown on the Figure 10 a ream end subassembly 48 is formed, from one end to the other, of a cab 8, a module 2, and a module 6, rigidly connected to one another.

Un sous-ensemble pourrait comprendre en outre un deuxième module 2 relié de façon rigide à l'autre extrémité du module 6, comme illustré en traits mixtes sur la Figure 10.A subassembly could further comprise a second module 2 rigidly connected to the other end of the module 6, as shown in phantom on the Figure 10 .

Les sous-ensembles illustrés sur les Figures 2 à 10 sont décrits uniquement à titre d'exemple. D'autre sous-ensembles pourraient être obtenus en associant les modules 2, 4, 6 et les cabines 8, 10 différemment.The subsets illustrated on the Figures 2 to 10 are described only as examples. Other subsets could be obtained by associating the modules 2, 4, 6 and the cabins 8, 10 differently.

Les sous-ensembles 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 et 48 sont destinés à être assembles de façon articulée ou rigide entre eux, avec d'autres sous-ensembles non représentés, ou avec des modules 2, 4, 6 pour former des rames.The subassemblies 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 are intended to be assembled in an articulated or rigid manner with each other, with other sub-assemblies (not shown), or with modules 2, 4, 6 to form oars.

Telles que représentées sur les Figures 11 à 16, des rames sont formées de manière générale à partir de modules 2, 4, 6 et des cabines 8, 10. On retrouve dans ces rames des sous-ensembles tels que ceux des Figures 2 à 10.As represented on the Figures 11 to 16 , oars are generally formed from modules 2, 4, 6 and cabins 8, 10. There are in these trainsets subsets such as those of Figures 2 to 10 .

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 11, une rame 50 comprend deux sous-ensembles 38 entre lesquels sont disposés, en alternance, des modules 4 et des modules 2, les sous-ensembles 38 et les modules 2 et 4 étant reliés entre eux de façon articulée par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs 26. Chacun des sous-ensembles 38 est relié à un module 4.As represented on the Figure 11 a train 50 comprises two subassemblies 38 between which are alternately modules 4 and modules 2, the subassemblies 38 and the modules 2 and 4 being connected to each other in an articulated manner via devices 26. Each of the subassemblies 38 is connected to a module 4.

Le nombre de modules 2, 4 dépend de la longueur souhaitée pour la rame 50.The number of modules 2, 4 depends on the desired length for the train 50.

Dans des variantes, les modules 4, ou au moins certains d'entre eux, sont remplacés par des modules 6, pour garder la même architecture, tout en réduisant la longueur de la rame.In variants, the modules 4, or at least some of them, are replaced by modules 6, to keep the same architecture, while reducing the length of the train.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 12, une rame 52 diffère de celle de la Figure 11 en ce que chaque sous-ensemble 38 et le module 4 adjacent sont remplacés par un sous-ensemble 40.As represented on the Figure 12 , a train 52 differs from that of the Figure 11 in that each subassembly 38 and the adjacent module 4 are replaced by a subassembly 40.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 13, une rame 54 comprend successivement un sous-ensemble 42, un sous-ensemble 32 et un sous-ensemble 42, reliés entre eux de façon articulée par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs 26.As represented on the Figure 13 , a train 54 comprises successively a subassembly 42, a subassembly 32 and a subassembly 42, connected together in an articulated manner by means of devices 26.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 14, une rame 56 comprend successivement, un sous-ensemble 40, un sous-ensemble 36, un sous-ensemble 32 et un sous-ensemble 40, reliés entre eux de façon articulée par des dispositifs 26.As represented on the Figure 14 , a train 56 comprises successively, a subassembly 40, a subassembly 36, a subassembly 32 and a subassembly 40, interconnected in an articulated manner by devices 26.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 15, une rame 58 comprend successivement un sous-ensemble 42, un module 6, un sous-ensemble 32, un module 6 et un sous-ensemble 42, relié entre eux de façon articulée par des dispositifs 26.As represented on the Figure 15 , a train 58 comprises successively a subassembly 42, a module 6, a subassembly 32, a module 6 and a subassembly 42, connected together in an articulated manner by devices 26.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 16, une rame 59 comprend successivement, un sous-ensemble 40, un sous-ensemble 36, un module 2, un sous-ensemble 36 et un sous-ensemble 40, reliés entre eux de façon articulée par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs 26.As represented on the Figure 16 , a train 59 comprises, successively, a subassembly 40, a subassembly 36, a module 2, a subassembly 36 and a subassembly 40, connected to each other in an articulated manner by means of devices 26.

Chacune des rames 52, 54, 56, 58, 59 possède au moins un module 4 ou 6 relié de façon rigide à un module 2. Chacune des rames 54, 56 et 58 possède en outre au moins un module 4 ou 6 porté relié de façon articulée, à chacun de ses extrémités longitudinales, à un module 2.Each of the reams 52, 54, 56, 58, 59 has at least one module 4 or 6 rigidly connected to a module 2. Each of the racks 54, 56 and 58 also has at least one module 4 or 6 connected with articulated manner, at each of its longitudinal ends, to a module 2.

Les rames des Figures 11 à 16 sont montrées uniquement à titre d'exemple, et d'autre rames pourraient être conçues, notamment en remplaçant dans chaque rame un sous-ensemble 40 par un sous-ensemble 44 ou un sous-ensemble du même type, comprenant une cabine 10 fixée rigidement à un module 4 ou 6.The oars of Figures 11 to 16 are shown only by way of example, and other trains could be designed, including replacing in each train a subassembly 40 by a subassembly 44 or a subassembly of the same type, comprising a cabin 10 rigidly fixed to a module 4 or 6.

Différents types de rames peuvent donc être obtenues par construction modulaire, à partir d'éléments incluant des modules 2, 4, 6 et des cabines 8, 10.Different types of trainsets can therefore be obtained by modular construction, from elements including modules 2, 4, 6 and cabins 8, 10.

Les rames sont réalisées à partir de modules 2 possédant des caisses de structures portantes de même conception, et de modules 4 et 6 possédant des caisses de structures portantes de même conception.The trains are made from modules 2 having boxes of load-bearing structures of the same design, and modules 4 and 6 having boxes of load-bearing structures of the same design.

La structure portante d'un module est constituée des éléments qui participent à la résistance mécanique et à la transmission des efforts. Elle comprend les faces latérales, le châssis et le pavillon.The bearing structure of a module consists of elements that contribute to the mechanical strength and the transmission of forces. It includes the side faces, the frame and the roof.

La structure portante ne comprend pas les extrémités du module qui sont adaptées par l'ajout d'organes d'interface en fonction du type de liaison (rigide ou articulée) prévue à chaque extrémité.The bearing structure does not include the ends of the module which are adapted by the addition of interface members depending on the type of connection (rigid or articulated) provided at each end.

La structure portante des faces latérales comprend les éléments qui déterminent la répartition, et le nombre ainsi que l'empattement des fenêtres des faces latérales. Lorsqu'une face latérale est constituée par une ossature et une peau externe recouvrant l'ossature, la structure portante du module inclut l'ossature de la face latérale mais pas la peau externe qui peut être modifiée simplement selon le nombre de fenêtres et de portes que l'on souhaite ménager dans la face latérale, et la forme des ouvertures correspondantes.The supporting structure of the lateral faces comprises the elements which determine the distribution, and the number and the wheelbase of the windows of the lateral faces. When a lateral face is constituted by a frame and an external skin covering the framework, the module's supporting structure includes the frame of the lateral face but not the outer skin which can be modified simply according to the number of windows and doors that one wishes to arrange in the lateral face, and the shape of the corresponding openings.

Par structure portante de même conception, on entend des modules possédant des structures portantes utilisant les mêmes éléments principaux, dans leurs châssis, leurs faces latérales et leurs pavillons.Bearing structure of the same design means modules having bearing structures using the same main elements, in their frames, their side faces and their flags.

De préférence les modules 2 possèdent des structures portantes identiques, les modules 4 possèdent des structures portantes identiques, et les modules 6 possèdent des structures portantes identiques.Preferably the modules 2 have identical bearing structures, the modules 4 have identical bearing structures, and the modules 6 have identical bearing structures.

Avantageusement, la structure portante d'un module 4 est obtenue à partir de la structure portante d'un module 6, rallongée en ajoutant une section longitudinale supplémentaire.Advantageously, the supporting structure of a module 4 is obtained from the supporting structure of a module 6, lengthened by adding an additional longitudinal section.

Dans ce cas, la structure portante de chaque module 6 est avantageusement formée d'au moins deux sections longitudinales sensiblement identiques, et un module 4 est alors obtenu en ajoutant au moins une section supplémentaire pour rallonger le module.In this case, the supporting structure of each module 6 is advantageously formed of at least two substantially identical longitudinal sections, and a module 4 is then obtained by adding at least one additional section to lengthen the module.

Ceci réduit les coûts de conception et de fabrication.This reduces design and manufacturing costs.

Ainsi, des modules 2, 4, 6 de structures portantes de même conception ou identiques sont fabriqués en grande série ce qui réduit leur coût de fabrication.Thus, modules 2, 4, 6 of bearing structures of the same design or identical are manufactured in large series which reduces their manufacturing cost.

Les rames et les sous-ensembles sont plus ou moins adaptés à la circulation sur des voies ferrées sinueuses en fonction du nombre de leurs articulations.The trains and subassemblies are more or less adapted to the traffic on sinuous railways according to the number of their joints.

Par exemple, une rame circulant sur une voie sinueuse comprend de préférence un plus grand nombre d'articulations.For example, a train traveling on a winding track preferably comprises a larger number of joints.

L'utilisation de modules 4 et 6 de longueurs différentes permet d'adapter la capacité de la rame ainsi que sa longueur, de façon par exemple à ajuster la longueur de la rame à celle des quais de la voie sur laquelle la rame doit circuler.The use of modules 4 and 6 of different lengths makes it possible to adapt the capacity of the train and its length, for example to adjust the length of the train to that of the platforms of the track on which the train must circulate.

Les coûts de conception des rames et des sous-ensembles sont réduits, étant donné qu'il suffit de prendre des modules 2, 4 et/ou 6 préexistants et de les assembler de différentes manières pour obtenir les sous-ensembles et les rames en fonction des besoins particuliers.The design costs of the trainsets and sub-assemblies are reduced, since it suffices to take modules 2, 4 and / or 6 pre-existing and assemble them in different ways to obtain the sub-assemblies and the trains according to special needs.

Les coûts de fabrication sont réduits, étant donné que des mêmes modules 2, 4 et/ou 6 permettent d'aboutir à différentes types de sous-ensembles et de rames, et que les coûts fixes de fabrication des modules 2, 4 et/ou 6 peuvent être amortis sur de plus grandes séries.The manufacturing costs are reduced, since the same modules 2, 4 and / or 6 make it possible to achieve different types of sub-assemblies and trains, and the fixed costs of manufacturing the modules 2, 4 and / or 6 can be depreciated on larger series.

Tels que représentés sur la Figure 17, des bogies et des équipements de traction sont destinés à être fixés sur un module 2 pour former un module porteur.As represented on the Figure 17 , bogies and traction equipment are intended to be fixed on a module 2 to form a carrier module.

Les bogies incluent un bogie 22a moteur et un bogie 22b non motorisé, simplement porteur.The bogies include a bogie 22a engine and a bogie 22b non-motorized, simply carrier.

Les équipements de traction sont des équipements adaptés pour récupérer de l'énergie électrique à partir d'une ligne d'alimentation, produire de l'énergie électrique à partir d'un carburant, et transformer l'énergie électrique produite ou récupérée en signaux d'excitation des moteurs des bogies motorisés d'une rame dont fait partie le module porteur.Traction equipment is equipment adapted to recover electrical energy from a power line, produce electrical energy from a fuel, and transform the electrical energy produced or recovered into electrical signals. excitation of motorized bogie engines of a train including the carrier module.

Les équipements de traction incluent par exemple et de façon non exhaustive un transformateur 62, un onduleur 64 et un pantographe 66, destinés à être disposé sur le pavillon 68 module 2. Les équipements de tractions pourraient comprendre également un disjoncteur, un hacheur, un redresseur, un sectionneur...The traction equipment includes, for example, and non-exhaustively a transformer 62, an inverter 64 and a pantograph 66, intended to be disposed on the roof 68 module 2. The traction equipment could also include a circuit breaker, a chopper, a rectifier , a disconnector ...

Tel que représenté sur la Figure 18, une unité 70 de ventilation et, optionnellement de climatisation, est destinée à être disposée sur le pavillon 72 d'un module 4.As shown on the Figure 18 , a ventilation unit 70 and optionally air conditioning, is intended to be disposed on the roof 72 of a module 4.

Telle que représentée sur la Figure 19, une rame 74 comprend successivement d'une extrémité à l'autre (de gauche à droite sur la Figure 18) une cabine 8, un premier module 2, un premier module 4, un deuxième module 2, un deuxième module 4, un troisième module 2, et une deuxième cabine 8.As represented on the Figure 19 , a train 74 comprises successively from one end to the other (from left to right on the Figure 18 ) a cabin 8, a first module 2, a first module 4, a second module 2, a second module 4, a third module 2, and a second cabin 8.

Des équipements de traction sont disposés avantageusement sur les modules 2. Plus précisément, le premier module 2 porte un pantographe 66, le deuxième module 2 porte un onduleur 64, et le troisième module porte un transformateur 62.Advantageously, the first module 2 carries a pantograph 66, the second module 2 carries an inverter 64, and the third module carries a transformer 62.

Le bogie 22a du deuxième module 4 est motorisé, les autres étant non motorisés.The bogie 22a of the second module 4 is motorized, the others being non-motorized.

Le pantographe 66, l'onduleur 64, le transformateur 62 et le bogie 22a moteur sont bien entendu reliés par des liaisons électriques (non représentées).The pantograph 66, the inverter 64, the transformer 62 and the motor bogie 22a are of course connected by electrical connections (not shown).

Les modules portés 4 sont munis sur les pavillons 72 de leurs modules 4 d'unités 70 de ventilation.The mounted modules 4 are provided on the flags 72 of their modules 4 units 70 ventilation.

La répartition des équipements de traction sur les modules 2 facilite la réalisation de différentes rames suivant l'application envisagée.The distribution of traction equipment on the modules 2 facilitates the realization of different trains according to the intended application.

En effet, suivant la longueur de la rame, on prévoira un ou plusieurs bogies moteurs, et on prévoira les équipements de tractions nécessaires en conséquence pour récupérer et convertir suffisamment d'énergie. L'ajout d'un équipement s'effectue en ajoutant un module porteur 2 muni de l'équipement souhaité.In fact, depending on the length of the train, one or more motor bogies will be provided, and the necessary traction equipment will be provided accordingly to recover and convert enough energy. The addition of equipment is done by adding a carrier module 2 provided with the desired equipment.

Des modules porteurs 2 reçoivent différents équipements de traction selon le pays ou la voie ferrée à laquelle la rame est destinée.Carrier modules 2 receive different traction equipment depending on the country or railroad to which the train is intended.

En effet, par exemple, les voltages des lignes électriques d'alimentation sont différents d'un pays à l'autre.In fact, for example, the voltages of power supply lines are different from one country to another.

Il est même possible de fabriquer facilement une rame comprenant des modules 2 munis d'équipements de traction adaptés pour un pays, et des modules 2 munis d'équipements de tractions adaptés pour un autre pays. Une telle rame pourra circuler sur les voies ferrées de ces deux pays.It is even possible to easily manufacture a train comprising modules 2 provided with traction equipment adapted for a country, and modules 2 provided with traction equipment adapted for another country. Such a train will be able to circulate on the railways of these two countries.

Il est ainsi possible de fabriquer différentes rames, possédant des équipements de traction différents, mais sans modifier les modules 4, ce qui réduit les coûts de fabrication et de conception de la rame dans son ensemble.It is thus possible to manufacture different trains, having different traction equipment, but without modifying the modules 4, which reduces the manufacturing and design costs of the train as a whole.

Les modules 4 sont munis de portes d'accès, et peuvent varier dans leur aménagement intérieur, selon les besoins. Ainsi, on peut prévoir des modules 4 dont les compartiments voyageurs possèdent des zones pour les personnes à mobilité réduite et/ou des plateformes d'embarquement pour ce type de personnes, des zones pour les vélos, de la zone de restauration...The modules 4 are provided with access doors, and may vary in their interior, as needed. Thus, one can provide modules 4 whose passenger compartments have areas for people with reduced mobility and / or boarding platforms for this type of people, areas for bicycles, the restaurant area ...

Ainsi, les modules 2 concentrent les équipements de traction, et les aménagements particuliers sont prévus sur les modules 4.Thus, the modules 2 concentrate the traction equipment, and special arrangements are provided on the modules 4.

Cette séparation des fonctions entre modules 2 et modules 4 réduit les coûts de fabrications en rendant la construction de rames et de sous-ensembles modulaires. En effet, on dispose d'un nombre limité de modules porteurs différents, et d'un nombre limité de module portés différents, ce qui limite les coûts fabrication, mais ces modules peuvent être combiné de différentes façon, ce qui augmente le nombre de possibilité.This separation of functions between modules 2 and 4 reduces production costs by making the construction of modular trains and subassemblies. Indeed, we have a limited number of different carrier modules, and a number limited different ported module, which limits manufacturing costs, but these modules can be combined in different ways, increasing the number of possibilities.

La modularité des équipements et des aménagements des modules portés et des modules porteurs pourrait s'envisager indépendamment de la modularité liée à la liaison articulée ou rigide des modules portés et des modules porteurs.The modularity of the equipment and the arrangements of the mounted modules and the load-bearing modules could be considered independently of the modularity linked to the articulated or rigid connection of the mounted modules and the load-bearing modules.
