From "Swallow" to "Ivolga": Hübner solutions for modern electric trains

Hübner solutions for electric trains: inter-wagon transitions for Swallows, Orioles, EP2D and EP2DM, protective walls and adaptation of products for rolling stock.

The modern — electric train is a single passenger environment in which the boundary between adjacent cars should be as imperceptible as possible to the passenger and at the same time completely predictable for the engineer. When moving, the body is constantly shifted relative to each other, so the systems connecting them must compensate for these movements, maintain safe passage, protect the passenger space from the external environment and withstand operating loads.

Одно из ключевых направлений компания Хюбнер связано именно с такими решениями. В производственной линейке предприятия представлены Intercarriage Transitions Category: Electric trains Swallow (TV series), Oriole (TV series), ,EP2D,EP2DM and ED4M, and for the compositions of the family "Ivolga" are also produced the Protective Walls The inter-car space.

Inter-car junction as part of train construction

The task of intercar transfer is much wider than the movement of a passenger from one car to another. It should take into account the mutual movements of the bodies, provide noise and thermal insulation, protect the passage zone from precipitation, dust and wind and maintain the necessary tightness of the passenger space. It is these functions that are laid down in the product materials of the enterprise.

Different versions are used for different platforms. For example, for electric trains ES1P, ES2G and ES2GP "Lastochka" indicated inter-wagon transition assemblies, and for EG2TV and EGE2TV "Ivolga" — intercar junction with handrails. Both solutions are certified products and have positions in the Register of Russian Industrial Products.

Separate designs are designed for suburban electric trains EP2D, EP2DM and ED4M. В материалах компания Хюбнер для этой группы указан собственный вариант половинки межвагонного перехода, также внесенный в Реестр российской промышленной продукции.

The meaning of such product specialization is that the inter-wagon transition cannot be chosen only on the general basis "for an electric train". Execution is created taking into account the parameters of a particular rolling stock, operating conditions and technical requirements of the project; the sequence provided by the company includes analysis, development, coordination, production, testing and subsequent service support.

The Oriole (film) It's not just the passenger crossing.

На примере семейства «Иволга» хорошо видно, что межвагонная зона требует сразу нескольких взаимосвязанных решений. Помимо перехода, компания Хюбнер выпускает protective walls for electric trains EG2Tv and EGE2Tv. Their task is — to limit access to the intercar space, improve the safety of passengers and participate in the formation of the outer contour of the train.

The design of the protective wall can be performed with or without an adapter frame and adapts to the characteristics of a particular rolling stock. In the materials of the enterprise for this product, a full design cycle is recorded: from raw data analysis to production, testing and service.

Thus, in relation to the electric train, we are no longer talking about one product, but about complex work with the intercar zone: passenger passage, compensation of wagon movements, protection of space and integration of components into the structure of the train.

Passenger inter-wagon crossing

Creates a closed passage between the cars, provides safe movement of passengers, heat and sound insulation.

External protective wall

Closes the side gap between the bodies on the platform side and prevents the fall or penetration of a person into the intercar space. It is not intended for the passage of passengers.

From a ready-made solution to a new project

The presence of executions for several platforms gives the company an accumulated base for the following projects, but the decision itself is tied to the specific design of the vehicle each time. That is why not only the name of the model, but also the original geometry, technical requirements and design documentation are important for the customer to start work.

For a B2B customer, this changes the very approach to choosing a supplier. It is necessary to obtain not just a component of a suitable size, but a system that will be correctly integrated into the rolling stock and can be accompanied by the manufacturer after the start of operation.
