Abstract

It is aimed to provide a railway vehicle plug door device capable of easily ensuring airtightness between a side structure body and a door leaf even if the railway vehicle plug door device is installed in a side structure body having a structure assembled by joining structural members by welding and including a bent part. A frame body is mounted on a part constituting an entrance in a side structure body by a mechanical fastening structure. A seal member is mounted on at least one of a door leaf and the frame body and held in close contact with both the door leaf and the frame body when the door leaf closes the entrance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A railway vehicle plug door device to be installed at an entrance of a railway vehicle and configured to perform an operation of opening and closing a door leaf and a plugging operation of moving the door leaf in a width direction of the railway vehicle, comprising:
a door driving mechanism including a motor for generating a power for opening and closing the door leaf;
an annular frame body to be disposed along a periphery of the entrance defined in a side wall of the railway vehicle and to be mounted on the side wall by a mechanical fastening structure;
a door leaf having a shape for opening and closing the entrance;
an annular seal member mounted on at least one of the door leaf or the frame body and held in close contact with both the door leaf and the frame body when the door leaf closes the entrance,
the door leaf having screw holes and the frame body having a surface which faces an outer side in the vehicle width direction and with which the seal member is to be held in contact, and
through holes formed on the surface of the frame body at positions that correspond to the respective screw holes on the door leaf when the door leaf closes the entrance, wherein the surface of the frame body and the screw holes of the door leaf face each other in the vehicle width direction, said screw holes do not penetrate through the door leaf,
wherein the screw holes and the through holes are formed in regions of the door leaf and the frame body, respectively, wherein the regions are inward of and surrounded by the annular seal member.

2. A railway vehicle plug door device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the mechanical fastening structure includes a fastening member provided separately from the side wall and the frame body and fastens the side wall and the frame body via the fastening member.

3. A railway vehicle plug door device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the seal member is mounted on the door leaf and is in contact with the frame body at least at three positions in a cross section along a direction parallel to a direction of pressing the seal member against the frame body and an outward direction from the entrance along the side wall when the seal member comes into contact with and being pressed against the frame body by closing the entrance by the door leaf.

4. A railway vehicle plug door used as a door structure including a door leaf in a plug door device to be installed at an entrance of a railway vehicle and configured to perform an operation of opening and closing the door leaf and a plugging operation of moving the door leaf in a width direction of the railway vehicle, comprising:
an annular frame body to be disposed along a periphery of the entrance defined in a side wall of the railway vehicle and to be mounted on the side wall by a mechanical fastening structure;
a door leaf having a shape for opening and closing the entrance;
an annular seal member mounted on at least one of the door leaf or the frame body and held in close contact with both the door leaf and the frame body when the door leaf closes the entrance,
the door leaf having screw holes and the frame body having a surface which faces an outer side in the vehicle width direction and with which the seal member is to be held in contact, and
through holes formed on the surface of the frame body at positions that correspond to the respective screw holes on the door leaf when the door leaf closes the entrance, wherein the surface of the frame body and the screw holes of the door leaf face each other in the vehicle width direction, said screw holes do not penetrate through the door leaf,
wherein the screw holes and the through holes are formed in regions of the door leaf and the frame body, respectively, wherein the regions are inward of and surrounded by the annular seal member.

5. A railway vehicle plug door device according to claim 1 , wherein: the seal member is mounted on the frame body and is in contact with the door leaf at least at three positions in a cross section along a direction parallel to a direction of pressing the seal member against the door leaf and an outward direction from the entrance along the side wall when the seal member comes into contact with and being pressed against the door leaf by closing the entrance by the door leaf.
