to a setting position.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, doors 9 for
passengers to board and alight are provided on two sides of a
vehicle body of one end of the first carriage 1 and one end or two
ends of each middle carriage 2. A retractable passageway 11 is
provided between a waiting area 10 on the platform and the door 9,
and passengers can board and alight directly through the dedicated
passageway 11, the existing train platform is not required any
more, passengers no longer need to enter the platform first from
the waiting area 10 and then board from the platform, which
shortens the time for passengers to board and alight, improves the
safety of passengers to board and alight, and also improves the
comfort of passengers to board and alight, thus meeting the
humanized requirement of passengers. The passageway 11 adopts a
retractable structure and extends out to make that its end to
closely fit with the door 9 and to make the waiting area 10 to be
connected with the door 9 when a vehicle enters a station. After
the passengers boards and alights, the passageway can be retracted
without affecting the other functions of the platform.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a middle carriage 2a as the
first-class compartment includes two columns of seat units 25
arranged in the length direction of the vehicle body, and between
the two columns of seat units 25 is a carriage aisle 26. The front
and rear seat units 25 are staggered and overlapped in the length
direction of the vehicle body to reduce the space occupied by each
seat unit. Thus on the premise of guaranteeing the comfort of
passengers, the number of passengers allowed to be accommodated in
the carriage is greatly increased, and thus the utilization rate of
space in the carriage is improved maximally.
[0044] Each seat unit 25 is separated by a seat partition 27, and
the seat partition 27 adopts a half-high partition, which not only
guarantees the comfort of passengers, but also makes each seat unit
25 to have excellent privacy. The seat partition 27 is an L-shaped
structure consisting of a transverse partition and a longitudinal
partition, of which the transverse partition is S-shaped. The inner
side of the transverse partition (i.e., the side immediately
adjacent to the side of the side wall 28) is sunken to the inner
side of the seat unit 25, and the outer side of the transverse
partition (i.e., the side immediately adjacent to the carriage
aisle 26) is sunken to the outer side of the seat unit 25. The
transverse partition and the longitudinal partition are fixed by
connecting parts, and bottoms of the transverse partition and the
longitudinal partition are fixed to the floor of the carriage. One
side of the transverse partition is fixed with the side wall 28. A
partition door 33 is provided between the longitudinal partitions
of the front and rear seat units 25 for closing a passage gap
between the adjacent two seat units 25. Decorative lights and
number lights (not shown in the Figures) are provided on an outer
surface of each longitudinal partition, which make passengers to
easily find their own seat units 25 as soon as possible. The
decorative light not only can play the role of lighting, but also
can increase the overall aesthetics of carriage interior
decoration.
[0045] A window 34 is provided on the side wall 28 corresponding to
each seat unit 25. The windows 34 of all seat units 25 are
independent of each other. The activities of passengers in the seat
unit 25 may not be reflected onto the windows of the adjacent seat
unit 25 through the reflection of the glass of the window 34, thus
the privacy of each seat unit 25 can be further improved. In the
present embodiment, the window on the side wall 28 extends
continuously upward from the side wall position to the roof
position. The whole window is lathy and has an upper part with a
curved shape, including the part of the side wall and the part of
the side roof (where the roof is connected with the side wall). The
shape of the window 34 is the same as that of the vehicle body. The
window having this structure increases the area of the window
corresponding to each seat unit 25 and the overall height of the
window, and further greatly increases the window vision, improves
the visual effect and provides the best sight and user experience
for passengers.
[0046] Each seat unit 25 includes a seat 29, a footrest (not shown
in the Figures), a table 30 and a functional chair 31. Each seat 29
is arranged to incline in the direction of the side wall 28 at the
respective side, i.e., inclining in the moving direction of the
vehicle. The seat 29 extends in a space of the outer side of the
transverse partition of the seat unit 25 sinking outwards and a
space of the inner side of the transverse partition of the front
seat unit 25 sinking inwards, to save the space occupied by each
seat unit 25 to uttermost extent and increase the utilization rate
of space in the carriage. When passengers sit on the seat 29
inclining towards the window, through the window 34 extending
upward from the side wall 28 to the side roof, the passengers can
enjoy a more perfect scenery outside the vehicle, and reduce the
feeling of carsickness to a certain extent.
[0047] The seat 29 is composed of a backrest, a seat cushion and a
motion mechanism. When the seat is converted to a recumbent
position from a sitting position, the motion mechanism drives the
seat cushion to move forward, and the backrest moves downward,
until the seat cushion and the backrest are on a same horizontal
plane. The seat cushion can be remained in any middle position,
that is, the backrest can be remained at any angle of leaning. The
conversion between the sitting position, recumbent position and any
leaning position can be implemented by operating the switch by
passengers, which can meet different requirements of the
passengers.
[0048] The footrest is fixed below the inner side of the transverse
partition of the front seat unit 25. When the seat 29 is in a
recumbent position, a seat cushion may extend forward to the
footrest, and the footrest, the seat cushion and the backrest form
a horizontal sleeper together. The table 30 is provided between the
other side of the seat 29 and the side wall 28. The table 30 is
formed by a plane formed by sinking forwards the lower part of the
transverse partition. The table 30 and the transverse partition are
formed integrally. A wall lamp is also installed on the transverse
partition above the table 30, and the passengers can control the
wall lamp depending on their needs, which is convenient for
passengers to use. The footrest in a rear seat unit 25 is installed
in the front sunken space of the transverse partition. In front of
the table 30, the functional chair 31 which is active and installed
independently is also provided. The functional chair 31 is placed
directly on the floor of the carriage. Passengers can move the
functional chair 31 to the desired position and angle according to
their needs for convenience use. The functional chair 31 can be
used for passengers who temporarily come to the seat unit 25 to
sit, so that they can chat with passengers in the seat unit 25
conveniently. In order to improve the riding comfort, a television
32 is also installed in each seat unit 25, and the television 32 is
installed on the transverse partition of the front seat unit
25.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 6, a middle carriage 2 as the business
carriage includes multiple compartments 35 arranged in one side of
the carriage, the compartments 35 are separated by a fully enclosed
compartment partition 36, and a compartment door 37 is provided on
the compartment partition 36. Each compartment 35 has a rest room
38 and a bathroom 39. A sitting and sleeping dual-purpose device is
provided in the rest room. A toilet, a washstand and a bathtub are
installed in the bathroom 39.
[0050] As shown in FIG. 6, the business carriage provided by the
present application includes six compartments 35, which are
provided on one side of the carriage in the length direction of the
vehicle body, and between the compartments 35 and the side wall 28
on the other side is a carriage aisle 36.
[0051] The compartments 35 are formed by partitioning with
compartment partitions 37, a compartment door 38 for passengers to
enter and exit is provided on the compartment partition 37 of each
compartment 35. Each compartment 35 has a rest area 39 and a
bathroom 40, and a sitting and sleeping dual-purpose device 51 is
installed in the rest area 39. During the day, the rest area 39 can
provide a space for sitting and activity, and at night, it can be
used as a bed for rest. Each compartment 35 can be used by two
adults and one or two children, and may provide a full range of
services for passengers, which not only makes full use of a limited
space, but also is easy to use, and thus can meet the higher
requirements for privacy and comfort of VIP and other high-end
consumer groups.
[0052] The compartment partition 37 immediately adjacent to the
carriage aisle 36 consists of multiple arc-shaped partitions, and
two compartments 35 are included in each arc-shaped compartment
partition. The arc-shaped design is adopted by the compartment
partition 37, on the premise of not affecting the available space
in the compartment 35, the space for people to pass through the
carriage aisle 36 is relatively enlarged, which can effectively
avoid the crowded state when multiple passengers stagger in the
carriage aisle 12 and improve the comfort of passengers.
