Abstract

A cab roof structure, a cab and a rail train are described. The cab roof structure comprises: at least one roof connecting beam disposed on a roof carline; and at least two aluminum honeycomb panels, one roof connecting beam is disposed between every two aluminum honeycomb panels, and each aluminum honeycomb panel is fixedly connected to a left or right side of the roof connecting beam. The cab roof structure has the advantages of high structural strength, light weight, less welding and good manufacturability.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cab roof structure comprising:
a roof carline;
at least two aluminum honeycomb panels; and
at least one roof connecting beam disposed on the roof carline, comprising a roof connecting beam between every two aluminum honeycomb panels,
wherein each aluminum honeycomb panel of every two aluminum honeycomb panels is fixedly connected to a left or right side of the roof connecting beam;
wherein the at least two aluminum honeycomb panels comprise:
a first aluminum honeycomb panel disposed on a left side of the roof connecting beam; and
a second aluminum honeycomb panel disposed on a right side of the roof connecting beam,

wherein the roof connecting beam comprises:
a first protrusion provided on an upper surface of the roof connecting beam;
a second protrusion provided on an upper end surface of the first protrusion; and
a first shoulder configured to connect an upper panel of the first aluminum honeycomb panel and a second shoulder configured to connect an upper panel of the second aluminum honeycomb panel, the first and second shoulders respectively provided on left and right sides of the second protrusion and wherein bottom surfaces of bottom panels of the first and second aluminum honeycomb panels are disposed on the upper surface of the roof connecting beam.

2. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , wherein the roof connecting beam further comprises a third shoulder configured to bear the first aluminum honeycomb panel and a fourth shoulder configured to bear the second aluminum honeycomb panel, the third and fourth shoulders are respectively provided on left and right sides of the first protrusion.

3. The cab roof structure of claim 2 , wherein an upper end surface of the third shoulder is flush with an upper end surface of the fourth shoulder.

4. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , wherein an upper end surface of the first shoulder is flush with an upper end surface of the second shoulder.

5. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , wherein one end of the upper panel of the first aluminum honeycomb panel is welded onto the first shoulder at a first welding position on the first shoulder.

6. The cab roof structure of claim 5 , wherein the first shoulder comprises a first horizontal portion and a first inclined portion connected to the first horizontal portion, wherein a first included angle is formed between the first horizontal portion and the first inclined portion.

7. The cab roof structure of claim 6 , wherein the first horizontal portion is disposed above a third shoulder on either left or right side of the first protrusion, and
wherein the first horizontal portion is located on a horizontal plane disposed in parallel with the upper end surface of the third shoulder.

8. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , wherein one end of the upper panel of the second aluminum honeycomb panel is welded onto the second shoulder at a second welding position on the second shoulder.

9. The cab roof structure of claim 8 , wherein the second shoulder comprises a second horizontal portion and a second inclined portion connected to the second horizontal portion, wherein a second included angle is formed between the second horizontal portion and the second inclined portion.

10. The cab roof structure of claim 2 , wherein the third shoulder is in contact with a lower portion of the first aluminum honeycomb panel at a first fillet welding position at a portion of the third shoulder, and
wherein the fourth shoulder is in contact with a lower portion of the second aluminum honeycomb panel at a second fillet welding position at a portion of the fourth shoulder.

11. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of reinforcing beams respectively disposed between two adjacent roof connecting beams, and
wherein the plurality of reinforcing beams are disposed at intervals along an extending direction of the roof connecting beams.

12. The cab roof structure of claim 1 , further comprising a roof rear end panel disposed at a rear end of the roof carline, wherein a first end of the roof connecting beam is connected to the roof carline, and a second end of the roof connecting beam is connected to the roof rear end panel.

13. The cab roof structure of claim 12 , further comprising a support member provided on a surface of the roof rear end panel towards a head, the support member extending in a direction away from the roof rear end panel.

14. The cab roof structure of claim 12 , wherein a horizontal mounting position is provided on an upper end surface of the roof rear end panel, and an aluminum liner panel is disposed on the horizontal mounting position.

15. The cab roof structure of claim 14 , wherein an upper panel of each of the aluminum honeycomb panels proximate to the roof rear end panel is welded to an upper end surface of the aluminum liner panel.

16. A cab, comprising the cab roof structure of claim 1 .

17. A rail train, comprising the cab of claim 16 .

18. The cab roof structure of claim 4 , wherein one end of the upper panel of the first aluminum honeycomb panel is welded onto the first shoulder at a first welding position on the first shoulder.

19. The cab roof structure of claim 4 , wherein one end of the upper panel of the second aluminum honeycomb panel is welded onto the second shoulder at a second welding position on the second shoulder.
