Abstract
The invention relates to a rail vehicle having a car body comprising an upper level and a lower level separated by an intermediate floor. The intermediate floor comprises at least two intermediate floor elements, the intermediate floor elements being arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle. A dilation profile is disposed between a first and second intermediate floor element.
Claims20
A rail vehicle comprising a car body having an upper and a lower level and an intermediate floor separating the upper level from the lower level, wherein the intermediate floor comprises at least two intermediate floor elements, wherein a first intermediate floor element is arranged behind a second intermediate floor element in a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle and wherein the first intermediate floor element comprises an upper floor area, wherein a dilation profile is arranged between the first intermediate floor element and the second intermediate floor element and the dilation profile comprising a dilation profile body which has a cross-section having two floor element contact surfaces and two profile surfaces substantially perpendicular thereto and wherein the two profile surfaces are substantially parallel to the upper floor area of the first intermediate floor element and the profile surfaces each have a groove in a central region of the profile surface.
A dilation profile for connecting two intermediate floor elements, comprising a dilation profile body which has a cross-section having two floor element contact surfaces and two profile surfaces substantially perpendicular thereto, and the profile surfaces each have a groove in a central region of the profile surface and the dilation profile being designed to be anisotropic in stiffness in respective directions of the dilation profile and wherein the profile surfaces have a greater horizontal width in the cross-section of the dilation profile than the vertical height of the floor element contact surfaces in the cross-section of the dilation profile.
A rail vehicle comprising a car body having an upper and a lower level and an intermediate floor separating the upper level from the lower level, wherein the intermediate floor comprises at least two intermediate floor elements, wherein a first intermediate floor element is arranged behind a second intermediate floor element in a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle, wherein a dilation profile is arranged between the first intermediate floor element and the second intermediate floor element and the dilation profile comprises a light metal and the dilation profile is connected to the first intermediate floor element and the second intermediate floor element by at least one of adhesive bonding and welding and the dilation profile comprises two floor element contact surfaces and the horizontal width between the two floor element contact surfaces in the cross-section of the dilation profile is greater than the vertical height of the floor element contact surfaces in the cross-section of the dilation profile.
