Actual Inventor(s): Josef Theurer, Manfred Brunninger Address for Service: PHILLIPS ORMONDE FITZPATRICK Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys 367 Collins Street Melbourne 3000 AUSTRALIA Invention Title: A MACHINE FOR REMOVING AN OLD TRACK AND LAYING A NEW TRACK Our Ref: 644967 POF Code: 1203/1203 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to applicant(s): -1eooeq The invention relates to a machine for removing an old track and laying a new track.
A machine of this kind is disclosed in US 4 854 243. For the purpose of taking up ballast, an endless clearing chain is provided between sleeper lifting device and sleeper laying device. The sleeper conveying unit for transporting new sleepers is guided through this clearing chain, with the sleepers being positioned extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine for reasons of space availability. The end of the sleeper conveying unit is located directly in front of the sleeper laying device.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a machine of the specified kind for renewing a track, in which the sleeper transport in the region between sleeper laying device and sleeper lifting device can be carried out in such a way so as to leave sufficient space for arranging additional working units.
According to the invention, there is provided a machine for removing an old track and laying a new track, including a machine frame supported on rail undercarriages and a sleeper laying device, arranged between the rail 20 undercarriages, for laying new sleepers and a sleeper lifting device for raising ""old sleepers, and also including a sleeper conveying unit, extending in the o longitudinal direction of the machine, which has a sleeper receiving end positioned ahead of the sleeper laying device with regard to the operating direction, wherein the sleeper conveying unit is composed of a first conveying section, containing the said sleeper receiving end and having a transfer end situated behind the sleeper laying device, and a second conveying section, positioned underneath the first conveying section and extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, for receiving the sleepers from the transfer end, with a delivery end of the second conveying section being provided immediately behind the sleeper laying device, characterized in that both conveying sections include a common transfer conveyor belt positioned behind the sleeper laying device, thus forming a sleeper transfer site, and in that the transfer conveyor belt is designed for vertical adjustment by means of a drive from the first to the second conveying section and vice versa and has a rotation 1A W:TressePaum5434&.Speamei. O .12.04.doc drive for actuation, as desired, to transport sleepers in the operating direction or opposite to the operating direction of the machine.
With this special design of the sleeper conveying unit, the sleeper transport in the region between the sleeper laying device and the sleeper lifting device is carried out positioned exclusively in the longitudinal direction of the machine, including the required sleeper rotation into the final transverse position. With this, a maximum of space remains available between the two said devices for installing other working units, without necessitating an increase in distance between the two devices. Thus, it is possible, for example, in a particularly advantageous manner to utilize the trackless construction gap located between the two devices for taking up contaminated ballast by means of a clearing chain, and for discharging, grading and compacting cleaned ballast. The conveyor belts necessary for this purpose can also be arranged without problems due to 15 the special design of the sleeper conveying unit.
:Additional advantageous embodiments and advantages of the invention become apparent from the sub-claims and the drawings.
20 The invention will be described in more detail below with the aid of an embodiment represented in the drawing in which Fig. 1 shows a side view of a front part, with regard to the operating S" direction, of a machine for renewing a track, Fig. 2 shows a side view of a rear part of the machine, Fig. 3 shows an enlarged representation of a central section of the machine, Figs. 4 and 5 each show an enlarged representation of the rear machine end, and Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of a further embodiment.
2 WA!, eS~epaS 434801lSDoAn~end.10.12 04 dOM A machine 1, shown in Figs. 1 to 5, for renewing a track 4 formed of rails 2 and sleepers 3 has a machine frame 6 mobile on the track 4 by means of rail undercarriages 5 arranged at the ends. The machine frame 6 is composed of two frame parts 7, arranged one following the other in the longitudinal direction of the machine, which are articulatedly connected to one another by means of a frame joint 8. Also arranged in the frame joint 8 are drives 9, provided for spreading the two frame parts 7 upwards while raising a rail undercarriage 10 located thereunder and for steering in track curve regions, and a clearing device 11.
The clearing device 11, vertically adjustable by means of a drive 12, is equipped with an endless chain, rotatable by a drive 13, for taking up ballast 14. Associated with a discharging end 15 of the clearing device 11 is a receiving end 16 of a first conveyor belt unit 17 extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine and having a discharging end 18. A second conveyor belt unit 19, extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, is provided underneath the first conveyor belt unit 17. The second conveyor belt unit 19 has a discharging end 22 arranged immediately preceding with regard to the operating direction of the machine 1 as represented by an arrow 20 a sleeper laying device 21, a ballast discharge device 23 being located under :i the discharging end 22. The ballast discharge device 23 consists of a chute S 24 having outlet openings 25 (see Fig. 3).
o:o°• As can be better seen in Fig. 3, a ballast grading apparatus 27, vertically adjustable by means of drives 26, is located between the sleeper laying device 21 and the immediately preceding ballast discharge device 23, the ballast grading apparatus being connected to a vibratable ballast consolidator 28. Additionally, the ballast grading apparatus 27 comprises two plough oo shields 30, pivotable respectively about a vertical axis 29 and spaced from one another in the trnnsverse dit of -achine, the sleeper laying device 21 being positioned between the two plough shields The rear frame part 7 of the machine 1 is extended by means of a frame 31 having a rail undercarriage 32, thus creating a working space for screwing operations. Located at a machine end 33 positioned immedately behind the rail undercarriage 32 is a ballast chute 34 with outlet openings 35 spaced from one another in the transverse direction of the machine (Fig. A receiving end 36 of the second conveyor belt unit 19 is positioned above the ballast chute 34.
As is visible in Fig. 4, a rear conveyor belt 37 of the first conveyor belt unit 17 and a further rear conveyor belt 38 of the second conveyor belt unit 19 are each mounted for displacement in the longitudinal direction of the machine by means of a drive 39. Coupled to the rear machine end 33 is a screening wagon 40 which comprises a screening installation 41, vibratable by drives, for ballast cleaning and a motor unit 42 for supplying energy.
Located immediately ahead of the clearing device 11 in the operating direction of the machine 1 is a sleeper lifting device 43. Provided immediately ahead of the latter is a tracing apparatus 44 for tracing the vertical position of the old sleepers 3. With the aid of a gantry crane 45 mobile on the leading frame part 7, the old sleepers 3 can be transported away and the new sleepers 3 can be transported to a conveyor unit 46. The new sleepers 3 are ~transported to the sleeper laying device 21 via a sleeper conveying unit 47 extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine.
The sleeper conveying unit 47 for transporting new sleepers 3 is composed of a first conveying section 49, having a sleeper receiving end 50 positioned ahead of the sleeper laying device 21 in the operating direction of the machine 1, and a second conveying section 51. The first conveying section 49, extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, has a transfer end 52, situated behind the sleeper laying device 21, in the shape of a transfer l• conveyor belt 53. The latter for forming a sleeper transfer site 58 is vertically adjustable by means of a drive r from the first to the second conveying section 49,51 and vice versa (see double arrow in Fig. 5) and equipped with a rotation drive 55 for actuation, as desired, to transport sleepers in the operating direction or opposite to the operating direction of the machine 1. For transferring the new sleepers 3, a delivery end 56 is arranged immediately behind the sleeper laying device 21. A respective sleeper rotating device 57 for rotating the sleeper 3 is associated with each of the two conveying sections 49,51 in their forward end region.
During the operational advance of the machine 1, the sleeper conveying unit 47 continuously delivers new sleepers 3 which are finally laid upon the ballast bed with the aid of the sleeper laying device 21. The sleepers which have been rotated into the longitudinal direction of the machine by the first sleeper rotating device 57 (Fig. 1) are transferred to the second conveying section 51 at the sleeper transfer site 58, in that the transfer conveyor belt 53 is lowered by activation of the drive 54 into the conveying plane of the second conveying section 51. By actuation of the rotation drive 55 in the opposite sense, the sleeper 3 is transported onwards in the direction toward the second sleeper rotating device 57. By means of the latter, the sleeper 3 is rotated into a position extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the machine and finally transported onward to the delivery end 56. Here, the frontmost sleeper 3 is seized by the sleeper laying device 21 and laid upon the graded o. ::ballast bed.
o In Fig. 6, a further variant of embodiment of the invention is shown in a schematic way, wherein, for the sake of simplicity, parts having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first variant described in Figs. 1 to 5. The particular difference lies in the fact that the special design of the sleeper conveying unit 47 is intended not for transporting the new sleepers 3, but rather for removing the old sleepers 3 from the sleeper lifting device 43 to a receiving end 59 of the second conveying section 51. The new sleepers 3 are transported via a sleeper conveying unit 60 to the sleeper laying device 21. The sleeper transfer site 58 of the sleeper conveying unit 47 operates just like the version described in the first var.nt, vvwith an old sieeper 3 being transferred from the second conveying section 51 to the first conveying section 49 and being transported against the operating direction to the sleeper rotating device 57.
