Description

Description Carriage, especially for a track-guided vehicle The invention relates to a carriage, in particular for a track-guided vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport, comprising at least one such vehicle or one further developed as described below. Hatches, such as maintenance hatches on rail-guided vehicles, must be securely closed before leaving a depot. Currently, staff manually check the closure of each hatch before departure. This is costly and time-consuming. Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a trolley that allows a faster inspection of the flaps. This problem is solved by the car of claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by the track-guided vehicle according to claim 10. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the respective subclaims. According to the invention, a carriage is provided, in particular for a track-guided vehicle. The carriage comprises at least one flap. Furthermore, the carriage has a monitoring system which is designed to monitor a closed state of the at least one flap. Furthermore, according to the invention, a track-guided vehicle, preferably for passenger transport, is provided, comprising at least one such vehicle or one further developed as described below. If at least one flap is completely closed, the monitoring system detects the closing state as "closed". If at least one flap is not completely closed, the monitoring system detects the closing state as "open". Preferably, the monitoring system is configured to log the closing state and/or the carriage and/or the track-guided vehicle has a display device which is operatively connected to the monitoring system and is configured to display the closing state of the at least one flap. Preferably the flap is a maintenance flap. Preferably, the flap conceals an assembly or rail vehicle component which is designed to be accessible from outside the rail vehicle. In a further development of the carriage, it can be provided that at least one flap is arranged so as to be accessible from outside the carriage. This makes at least one flap easily accessible from the outside of the car. Checking the locking The status of such flaps is safety-relevant and the monitoring system fulfills the verification of a safety-relevant closing status of such a flap. In the design of the car, it can be provided that the car has at least one car body and an underfloor area located below the car body and the at least one flap is arranged in the underfloor area. This provides an otherwise unused area for the flap to be positioned, which is easily accessible to personnel. In a further development of the carriage, it can be provided that the carriage has a plurality of flaps arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the carriage and the monitoring system is designed to monitor the plurality of flaps arranged one behind the other. By arranging a plurality of flaps arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a corresponding arrangement of the monitoring system, it is possible to monitor a plurality of flaps arranged one behind the other together by a single monitoring system. In the design of the carriage, it can be provided that the carriage comprises two chassis and the at least one flap is arranged between the two chassis. This specifies a position for the at least one flap, which allows a plurality of flaps to be arranged one behind the other. In a further development of the vehicle, it can be provided that the monitoring system is an optical monitoring system, preferably a light barrier. This provides a more cost-effective and robust solution than microswitches or cameras. By implementing an optical monitoring system, such as a light barrier, it is possible for a number of flaps arranged one behind the other to be monitored together by a monitoring system. The light barrier can be designed to operate in the visible or non-visible wavelength range. Furthermore, it can be provided that the light barrier is a laser light barrier. In the design of the vehicle, it can be provided that the optical monitoring system has a transmitter, preferably a light beam source, and a receiver, preferably a sensor for detecting light beams. For example, it can be provided that the light beam of the light barrier only reaches the transmitter and receiver when all flaps are completely closed. As soon as one of the multiple flaps arranged one behind the other is not completely closed, the beam is interrupted, and the monitoring system detects the closed state as "open." In a further development of the vehicle, it can be provided that the transmitter is arranged in the area of a first flap and the Receiver is arranged in the region of a second flap spaced longitudinally from the first flap. Preferably, at least one third flap is arranged between the first flap and the second flap. This makes it possible for a
