Abstract

Provided are a vehicle end skeleton structure and a rail vehicle having the same. The vehicle end skeleton structure comprises: a roof structure, the roof structure being a closed frame structure; and an end energy absorption structure, the upper end of the end energy absorption structure being connected with the roof structure, and the lower end of the end energy absorption structure being connected with a chassis. The technical solution provided in the present invention can solve the problem in the conventional art in which the collision performance of a vehicle end skeleton structure cannot meet current demands.

First claim

the vehicle end skeleton structure further comprising a first anti-expansion plate ( 83 ) and a second anti-expansion plate ( 84 ), wherein one end of the first anti-expansion plate ( 83 ) is connected with the first energy absorption column ( 81 ), and the other end of the first anti-expansion plate ( 83 ) is connected with the second energy absorption column ( 82 ), two ends of the second anti-expansion plate ( 84 ) being connected with one first energy absorption column ( 81 ) separately; an included angle between the second anti-expansion plate ( 84 ) and the first anti-expansion plate ( 83 ) is an obtuse angle;
the roof structure ( 90 ) comprises:
a first roof bending beam ( 91 ); and
a second roof bending beam ( 92 ), welded to the first roof bending beam ( 91 ) to jointly define the closed frame structure, the roof structure ( 90 ) further comprises a roof longitudinal beam ( 93 ), one end of the roof longitudinal beam ( 93 ) is connected with the first roof bending beam ( 91 ), and the other end is connected with the second roof bending beam ( 92 ), there are two roof longitudinal beams ( 93 ), the two roof longitudinal beams ( 93 ) are spaced, and first ends of the first energy absorption columns ( 81 ) are welded to the roof longitudinal beams ( 93 ) in a one-to-one correspondence manner, a first weight-reducing hole ( 811 ) is provided on a side, facing the second energy absorption column ( 82 ), of the first energy absorption column ( 81 ).

2. The vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second energy absorption columns ( 82 ) being welded to a side wall structure of the vehicle.

3. The vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the number of first energy absorption columns ( 81 ) is an even number, the even number of first energy absorption columns ( 81 ) being symmetrically disposed along a vehicle width direction of the vehicle.

4. The vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cross section of the first energy absorption column ( 81 ) is a closed structure, and/or, the cross section of the second energy absorption column ( 82 ) is a closed structure.

5. The vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein there are two first anti-expansion plates ( 83 ), and a connecting line of projections of the two first anti-expansion plates ( 83 ), the two first energy absorption columns ( 81 ), the two second energy absorption columns ( 82 ) and the second anti-expansion plate ( 84 ) in a plane parallel to the chassis of the vehicle defines a trapezoidal structure.

6. The vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a connecting line of projections of the two first energy absorption columns ( 81 ) and the two second energy absorption columns ( 82 ) in a plane parallel to the chassis of the vehicle defines a trapezoidal structure.

7. A rail vehicle, comprising a vehicle end skeleton structure, wherein the vehicle end skeleton structure is the vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 1 .

8. The rail vehicle as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the vehicle end skeleton structure is the vehicle end skeleton structure as claimed in claim 2 .
