課題的意義
隨著我國國民經(jīng)濟的飛速發(fā)展,全國各地高速公路、汽車專用線、汽車快速道如雨后春筍般建成通車高速公路的迅猛發(fā)展和旅游業(yè)的繁榮,使得以城市間客車運輸和旅游運輸為主要對象的客車迅猛發(fā)展。截至2005年底,全國等級公路里程159.18萬公里,占公路總里程的82.5%。其中二級及二級以上高等級公路里程32.58萬公里,占公路總里程的16.9%。按公路技術(shù)等級分組,各等級公路里程分別為:高速公路41005公里、一級公路38381公里、二級公路246442公里。公路條件的改善以及城鄉(xiāng)人民生活水平的提高,促進了我國汽車工業(yè)的發(fā)展。做為汽車家族重要組成部分的中型客車,近年來同樣進入了前所未有的發(fā)展時期。發(fā)展帶來機遇的同時也帶來了挑戰(zhàn),盡管經(jīng)過國家政策的調(diào)控,我國的客車整車生產(chǎn)企業(yè)在總量上有所減少,但企業(yè)個體競爭力明顯增加,產(chǎn)生了諸如宇通,蘇州金龍(金龍聯(lián)合汽車工業(yè)(蘇州)有限公司),大金龍(廈門金龍聯(lián)合汽車工業(yè)有限公司),小金龍(廈門金龍旅行車有限公司),安徽安凱等一批極具競爭力的企業(yè),這就使得各生產(chǎn)企業(yè)要不斷加快推出新產(chǎn)品的速度和提升產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量,而作為產(chǎn)品更新?lián)Q代的重要方面之一的客車外形的變化更是明顯地加快。
現(xiàn)就國內(nèi)外大型客車造型的風(fēng)格、特點及其歷史、現(xiàn)狀、發(fā)展趨勢等作簡要分析:
一,客車造型的整體風(fēng)格與特點
1.整體風(fēng)格 客車造型最初是從貨車演變而來。早期客車采用貨車的發(fā)動機和底盤改裝而成,從20世紀40年代起,客車的設(shè)計逐漸脫離貨車的范疇而走上獨立設(shè)計的道路,開始生產(chǎn)專用非承載式車架,進一步發(fā)展為半承載式,并形成特殊的設(shè)計風(fēng)格。
歐洲的Setra、MAN、BENZ、NEOPLAN、VOLVO、SCANIA、、IVECO、BOVA和日本的HINO、ISUZU等都是世界著名的客車生產(chǎn)企業(yè),其中有些作為專業(yè)的客車公司,其對行業(yè)的發(fā)展起到了很大的推動作用。
現(xiàn)代客車絕大多數(shù)采用直角六面體的平頭式造型,基本的風(fēng)格有兩種:一是直線條方基調(diào)的意大利型;另一是大曲面流線形的德國型。前者線條挺拔、洗練,能增加車廂的空間、擴大通透感,視野開闊,給人剛建的感覺;后者突出空氣動力學(xué)特性,給人飽滿、圓潤、耐看的感覺。
我國自80 年代以來, 各企業(yè)紛紛推出了方基調(diào)、小圓角、大弧面、流線感較強的車型。因為小圓角和大弧面相結(jié)合, 具有柔和、圓潤、飽滿的特征, 能使客車產(chǎn)生剛?cè)峤Y(jié)合、剛中有柔的效果, 增加其藝術(shù)感染力。
2客車造型的特點 客車以前、后圍為重點, 尤其前圍更為重要。我們可以把前圍比著人的臉, 那么車燈、進氣格柵、標徽等就成了五官, 整車的神態(tài)盡顯于其上。前圍采用超大雙曲面的全景擋風(fēng)玻璃, 加上較小的A 柱結(jié)構(gòu), 最大限度地改善了乘員的視野??蛙嚨膫?cè)圍與頂部的設(shè)計與之相呼應(yīng), 加上一些裝飾件的運用, 與之形成統(tǒng)一的整體?,F(xiàn)代客車一般都配置了空調(diào), 側(cè)窗采用全封閉粘接玻璃, 有時也在尾部和司機玻璃上再開小的活動窗。而進、排氣口的確定則要依賴于空氣動力學(xué)實驗或相關(guān)經(jīng)驗。
二,客車造型的歷史、現(xiàn)狀及發(fā)展趨勢
1.國內(nèi)大型客車造型的歷史、現(xiàn)狀及發(fā)展趨勢
1.1歷史回顧 我國大中型客車的發(fā)展,始于20世紀60年代,由交通部組織開發(fā)的JT663型客車(見圖1),車身表面為大曲率圓基調(diào)。該車代表了當(dāng)時國內(nèi)客車產(chǎn)品的最高水平, 20世紀60~70年代我國大型客車外形基本上以JT663這種大曲率圓基調(diào)的車身外形為主,JT663的生產(chǎn)一直維持到20世紀80年。
圖1 JT663型客車
20世紀80年代末,交通部又組織行業(yè)的有關(guān)專家及骨干企業(yè)先后開發(fā)了JT1118及JT6120兩款大型后置發(fā)動機客車,其中JT6120大型客車對20世紀80年代末以及90年代初我國客車的造型設(shè)計影響較大。JT6120大型客車是我國首次開發(fā)的后置全承載式車身的客車,它的外形風(fēng)格與JT663迥然不同,側(cè)圍從裙部到側(cè)窗上緣為樣條曲線,整車的頂蓋與側(cè)圍及前后圍與側(cè)圍的過度采用了小圓角(R40)過渡。該車的前風(fēng)擋造型設(shè)計一改以往的大曲率,而采用邊界小曲率表面略帶球形的外形設(shè)計,比較新穎。因此JT6120一誕生便給人們以耳目一新的感覺,可謂引領(lǐng)時代潮流。JT6120由于當(dāng)時底盤總成不過關(guān),沒有形成批量生產(chǎn),但該車新穎美觀的外形對我國20世紀80年代末、90年代初國內(nèi)客車的外形設(shè)計產(chǎn)生了很大的影響,不少廠家采用該車外形經(jīng)過適當(dāng)?shù)淖兓?,先后開發(fā)了多種暢銷產(chǎn)品。
1.2國內(nèi)長途旅、游客車造型的現(xiàn)狀 隨著我國高等級公路通車里程的不斷增加以及旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展,長途、旅游客車的需求量逐年遞增。國內(nèi)客車企業(yè)通過合資合作或者引進技術(shù),提升了自己的產(chǎn)品開發(fā)水平,而且產(chǎn)品外形變化速度加快,部分產(chǎn)品的外形設(shè)計水平已經(jīng)達到或者接近國外同類產(chǎn)品的水平。圖2為我國目前較有代表性的客車造型,蘇州金龍的KLQ6129Q型客車。
圖2 蘇州金龍KLQ6129Q型客車
目前長途、旅游客車外形造型的主要特點是:
※采用了電動兔耳式倒車鏡,使整車顯得華貴;
※ 側(cè)窗有加大的趨勢,目前側(cè)窗設(shè)計高度達到或接近1 200 mm,約為整個側(cè)圍高度的2/5;
※ 前后保險的"保險"作用逐漸弱化,其外形和整個前后圍縱向特性線成為連續(xù)光滑曲線,使整車造型更加和諧 ;
※ 側(cè)窗造型一改過去的直立柱,多采用曲線立柱,使整車富于變化;
※ 外形各異的燈具對整車外形"畫龍點睛"的作用;
※ 重視細部造型,如輪罩,一改過去呆板的圓形形狀,輪罩的設(shè)計更注重和整車的協(xié)調(diào)統(tǒng)一,同時也更富于變化;
※ 一些新的外飾件的采用,對整車的造型也起到了不同程度的作用。如側(cè)倉門采用鋁合金合頁或橡膠合頁,豪華客車多采用粘接式前后風(fēng)擋玻璃及側(cè)窗,也有的采用推拉式側(cè)窗;
※ 其它外飾件的采用,如側(cè)標志燈、側(cè)反射器、高位制動燈、示廓燈的布置以及車門的型式和布置都對整車的外形有不同程度的作用和影響。
1.3國內(nèi)長途旅、游客車造型的發(fā)展趨勢
※ 隨著全承載式大行李倉車身結(jié)構(gòu)的不斷推廣采用,長途旅游車高度也有增加的趨勢,逐步3.7 m高左右;
※ 整車造型更富于變化,注重流線型,以減少空氣阻力,降低油耗;
※ 隨著公路條件的改善以及整車高度的增加,長途、旅游客車的前后風(fēng)擋玻璃及側(cè)窗將繼續(xù)變大,側(cè)窗將達到或者接近整車側(cè)圍高度的一半,前風(fēng)擋玻璃高度則可能達到1.55m左右;
※ 隨著玻璃鋼等非金屬材料在客車車身上的應(yīng)用范圍的增大,解決了過去金屬薄板沖壓成型的困難,使得整車的前后圍細部造型更加富于變化。
2.國外大型客車造型的發(fā)展趨勢 圖3為歐洲比較典型三軸車造型。
圖3 Setra 416GT-HD型客車
※ 前后圍及整車的造型更加注重流線型,外形更加活潑;
※ 采用各種形狀的組合燈具,富于變化;
※ 車身高度增加,整車造型以小圓角過渡為主,各主要表面如前后圍等局部造型更富有于變化;
※ 前后保險杠逐步消失,不再起"保險"作用;
※ 粘接側(cè)窗的采用使整車外表更加平整。
三,內(nèi)飾的設(shè)計
客車內(nèi)部裝飾的豪華化已成為競爭的主要手段之一。在裝配空調(diào)的基礎(chǔ)上,采用全封閉式側(cè)窗成為80年代客車的標準式樣,先進的空調(diào)系統(tǒng)由電腦控制溫度,使車內(nèi)環(huán)境得到徹底改善,依靠空氣動力性試驗確定排氣及進氣口。
采用粗呢作車內(nèi)裝飾貼面,地板上鋪設(shè)地毯都有助于降低噪聲,同時軟化內(nèi)飾也有助于在發(fā)生事故時對成員的保護。對導(dǎo)線及導(dǎo)管的出入孔、車門、踏板處等嚴加密封,防止車外噪聲的傳入,在頂蓋及側(cè)壁的內(nèi)外蒙皮之間充填硬質(zhì)聚苯泡沫塑料,以消除和降低車身構(gòu)件之間的撞擊噪聲。
綜上所述,客車的外形造型和許多因素有關(guān)系。目前,不論是長途旅游車還是城市公交車的造形設(shè)計都越來越注重細部的處理對整個外形的影響,如何能夠?qū)υ煨偷募毑刻幚碜龅皆跐M足功能需要的前提下,既不畫蛇添足又能和整車造型相協(xié)調(diào)呼應(yīng),仍是體現(xiàn)造型水平的關(guān)鍵所在。我們常常會發(fā)現(xiàn)為什么兩種或幾種外形造型雖然截然不同,但是都給人們以美的感覺,就是因為他們各自的造型協(xié)調(diào)一致的原因
因此,在本設(shè)計中,將采用國際流行的方基調(diào),圓角造型;前圍利用大型雙曲面前擋風(fēng)玻璃,以表現(xiàn)整車的犀利感,輔助表達簡約風(fēng)格;后圍采用平面后風(fēng)窗玻璃,以節(jié)約材料,降低工藝成本,同時與車身側(cè)圍的平面結(jié)構(gòu)相呼應(yīng);平面間采用小圓角過渡,在剛烈中隱約表達出陰柔之美;后視鏡仍采用較為常規(guī)的兔耳式電動后視鏡,以節(jié)約車主的后期維修保養(yǎng)成本。

KEY WORD: automobile, styling, design, CAD, disabledWHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR USE MOTOR VEHICLES
Foreword—For people with disabilities who are unable to transfer from their wheelchairs when traveling in motor vehicles, the wheelchair must serve as the vehicle seat. This usually means that the occupant restraint system installed by the vehicle manufacturer cannot be used to provide protection in a crash. In addition, the wheelchair must be secured to the vehicle so that it does not impose forces on its occupant and/or become a hazard to other vehicle occupants in a collision or sudden vehicle maneuver. Providing occupant protection for the wheelchair-seated occupant, therefore, requires that aftermarket equipment be installed to secure the wheelchair and restrain the wheelchair user.
This Recommended Practice applies to the design and performance of motor-vehicle adaptive equipment referred to as wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint system or WTODS. It is the purpose of this document to encourage the design, testing, installation, and use of WTODS equipment that will provide effective wheelchair securement and occupant restraint in a frontal collision, and that will be comparable in crash performance to seat securement and occupant restraint systems provided by the vehicle manufacturer. While the primary concern is to reduce the potential for injury to wheelchair-seated occupants involved in a frontal vehicle crash, it is anticipated that achievement of improved occupant protection will also result in increased driver and passenger safety and comfort during normal travel. The provisions of this document should not be used to discourage people with disabilities using motor vehicle transportation or to limit access to, and availability of, motor vehicle transportation to wheelchair users.
Since manufacturers of WTORS are generally not able to control or specify the end use of their products, the 48-km/h, 20-g sled impact test specified in Appendix A is intended to qualify WTORS for use in vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than 7000kg. In larger vehicles, it may be possible to provide safe transportation using WTORS that do not comply with the level of crash severity used in this document.
As with any vehicle seat, the wheelchair is an important component of the occupant protection system, and also contributes to the stability and comfort of the wheelchair-seated occupant during normal travel. Design and performance of wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles is addressed in a separate, but related, ANSI/RESNA Standard now under development.
