Abstract
A rail vehicle has a roof region. In a longitudinal direction of the roof region, an air-conditioning duct is laid and which is bounded with respect to a passenger compartment by an inner ceiling. When the air-conditioning duct is composed in its longitudinal direction of at least two air-conditioning duct elements, the two air-conditioning duct elements are connected to one another by a sealing frame which can be pre-positioned. Furthermore, a method for constructing the roof region for such a rail vehicle is specified.
Claims9
A rail vehicle, comprising:
- a roof region having a plurality of inner roof panels;
- a passenger compartment;
- an air-conditioning duct disposed in a longitudinal direction of said roof region, said air-conditioning duct delimited with respect to said passenger compartment by means of said inner roof panels, said air-conditioning duct containing:
- at least two air-conditioning duct elements disposed in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a sealing frame connecting said at least two air-conditioning duct elements to each other coaxially in the longitudinal direction, each of said air-conditioning duct elements connected to an opposite side of said sealing frame, said sealing frame having a side and a gap cover at said side thereof facing an vehicle inner space, said gap cover adapted to an outer shape of said inner roof panels and disposed to cover a gap between two of said inner roof panels adjoining each other in the longitudinal direction of said roof region by said gap cover overlapping adjoining roof panels.
A method for constructing a roof region of a rail vehicle, which comprises the steps of:
- assembling a first assembly module containing an air-conditioning duct element and inner roof panels;
- fixing the first assembly module to a roof of the rail vehicle;
- fixing a sealing frame to the first assembly module in an adjustable manner where the sealing frame can move in a longitudinal direction;
- fixing a second assembly module at a free side of the sealing frame;
- adjusting the sealing frame in the longitudinal direction between the first and second assembly module, the sealing frame having a side and a gap cover at the side thereof facing an vehicle inner space, the gap cover adapted to an outer shape of the inner roof panels and disposed to cover a gap between two of the inner roof panels adjoining each other in the longitudinal direction of the roof region by the gap cover overlapping adjoining roof panels;
- and
- clamping the sealing frame between the first assembly module and the second assembly module.
