SNOW ACCRETION PREVENTING DEVICE FOR EXPRESS RAILWAY VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snow accretion preventing device for an express railway vehicle of simple structure capable of preventing snow accretion around a bogie even in the case of travelling at high speed. SOLUTION: An express railway vehicle 1 has a hollow recessed part S for housing a bogie 4 between a front and a rear side under floor parts 2 and 3. Under floor sealing plates 2a and 3a of the front and the rear under floor parts 2 and 3 are provided with a dummy member 11 for narrowing a space between a road surface F freely to be detached. The dummy member 11 of the front side under floor part 2 has a first inclined surface part 11a projected so that quantity of downward projection gradually increases as it comes backward in the progressing direction of the vehicle, and a second inclined surface part 11b projected so that quantity of downward projection gradually decreases as it comes backward from a rear end of the first inclined surface part 11a. The first inclined surface part 11a guides air downward (to the road surface side). COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
