Device And Method For The Data Transmission Between Parts Of A Rail Vehicle As Well As Part Of A Rail Vehicle

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a device and a method for the data transmission between two connectable parts of a rail vehicle, the device comprising at least one NFC system, the device comprising or forming at least one mounting interface for the mechanical attachment to a connection means of a part of a rail vehicle, as well as a part of a rail vehicle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for data transmission between two connectable parts of a rail vehicle or between rail vehicles, the device comprising at least one near field communication (NFC) system, characterized in that the device comprises or forms at least one mounting interface for the mechanical attachment to a connection means of a part of a rail vehicle, wherein a first part of the rail vehicle has or forms the connection means, the connection means serving for mechanical connection to a further part of the rail vehicle, wherein the mounting interface is designed for detachable mechanical fastening to the connection means. 
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the connection means is a coupling means or a bellow. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the device comprises or forms at least one damping member, the at least one damping member damping impacts of force introduced into the device via the mounting interface. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the device comprises another NFC system. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , characterised in that the first NFC system is configured as an NFC master means, and the other NFC system is configured as an NFC slave means. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the mounting interface comprises a frame element or is formed as a frame element. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 6 , characterised in that the at least one NFC system is disposed in an interior volume of the frame element. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the device comprises a support structure, the at least one NFC system being disposed in or on the support structure. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 8 , characterised in that the support is connected to the mounting interface via the at least one damping member. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 8 , characterised in that the damping member is part of the support structure. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the device comprises or forms at least one protection means for protecting the at least one NFC system. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the device comprises at least one interface for the power supply to the at least one NFC system. 
     
     
         13 . A part of a rail vehicle, particularly a vehicle body, the part comprising or forming at least one connection means for mechanical connection to another part of the rail vehicle, wherein a device according to  claim 1  is attached to the connection means. 
     
     
         14 . A method of transmitting data between two connectable parts of a rail vehicle or between rail vehicles that each include a device according to  claim 1 , the method comprising operating the NFC systems of the devices so as to transmit data therebetween. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , characterised in that an operating instruction or an information signal is transmitted via the NFC systems of the devices.
