Gap filler for railway station, has control unit to activate power units based on telemeter measurements such that distance between free edge and plate is lesser than preset value irrespective of relative position of platform and wagon

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The filler (10) has motor power units to drive a mobile part (20) between retracted and deployed configurations. The mobile part has a panel (22) and a telemeter (60) to measure a horizontal distance (d60) separating the telemeter from a wagon (4) parked along a bent parking platform (2). An electronic control unit (50) activates the power units based on the measurements such that, in the deployed configuration, the distance between a free edge (20A) of the part and a threshold plate (8A) is lesser than a preset value (DELTA) irrespective of relative position of the platform and the wagon. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Filler for filling a gap separating a parking platform of a wagon and a threshold plate of an access opening of the wagon in a railway station. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The telemeter and the control unit enable the mobile part to be adopted to variations of the horizontal distance between the free edge of the mobile part and the threshold plate, thus allowing the free edge to be closer to the threshold plate in order to improve the safety of arriving or departing passengers in the curved parking platform or a platform along which rail cars of different models move. The structure of the panel limits damage of the wagon and avoids projection of dangerous debris. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a partial sectional view of a gap filler.
