RAILWAY VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a railway vehicle that can reduce fluid resistance while maintaining workability during maintenance.SOLUTION: The railway vehicle comprises: a vehicle structure; a bogie which supports the vehicle structure and is arranged on a rail; oblique closing plates facing each other in a direction of the rail, toward the bogie; and a fluid resistance reducing portion that is arranged at a corner part of a clearance part around the bogie to be surrounded by the oblique closing plates facing each other. The fluid resistance reducing portion has a bottom surface, and has a tapered shape in which cross section area to a side of a cross section orthogonal to a height direction gradually becomes smaller as the height direction from the bottom surface becomes higher.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】メンテナンス時の作業性を維持しつつ、流体抵抗を低減することができる鉄道車両を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】車両構体と、前記車両構体を支持しレール上に配置される台車と、前記台車に向かってレール方向に互いに正対した斜めフサギ板と、正対する前記斜めフサギ板で囲まれる台車周りの空隙部の角部に配置される流体抵抗低減部とを備え、前記流体抵抗低減部は、底面を有し、前記底面から高さ方向が高くなるに従い、高さ方向に直角な断面の側面までの断面積が小さくなっていく先細り形状を有している。【選択図】図１
