RAILROAD VEHICLE

摘要

Disclosed is a railroad vehicle that is provided with a structure that can sufficiently protect a passenger cabin even if a large external force is applied to an end-framing body, and the vehicle is provided with the end-framing body (50) at the end of a vehicle body (11) with a crushable zone (40) therebetween. The end-framing body is provided with an end post, a corner post, and an upper reinforcing beam (56); the bottom ends of the end post and corner post are joined to the end sill (26) of an underframe; and the top ends of the end post and corner post are joined to the upper reinforcing beam. The crushable zone has: a lower sliding section that, using a lower fuse member, links a sliding center sill that is provided protruding from the center section of the end sill of the underframe in the direction of a cap beam and a guiding sill that protrudes in the direction of the vehicle ends from the cap beam; and an upper sliding section that, using an upper fuse member, links a sliding rod protruding from the upper reinforcing beam and a guide frame provided to the top of a side-framing body. Each fuse member is set to a strength that fractures when a load that exceeds a preset compression load is applied to the end-framing body.
