Abstract

A B S T R A C T

Buffer stop for rail vehicles comprises impact triangles associated with the rails and at least one buffer rail connected to the impact triangles via a braking device in such a manner that braking energy is used up for the displacement of the buffer rail towards the impact triangles, characterized in that the buffer rail forms part of a hydraulic buffer arrangement connected to the impact triangles and in that an advance unit provided with buffers and adapted to be placed in contact against the buffer rail is movably connected to the rails in front of the hydraulic buffer arrangement.

Description

~ r St~ for Rail Vehicles The invention rela-tes to a buffer stop for rail vehicles compris.ng triangles associated with the rails and at least one bu~fer rail connected to -the triangles via a br~.king device in such a manner tha-t braking energy is used up for -the di'splacement of the buffer rail in a ....
d'rection -towards the -triangles.

So~called rail braking bu~fer sto~s have 'become known in which the triangles are cooperating via at leas~t ~ne brakin~ ~ each with at 'leas-t one rail each servi.ng as a s-tal;ionary frictio~l member. The brake~ff~ is kept against the rail ~ith -the aid of several brake screws. A~'ter a d:i.splacement of the rail brakin~ bv.i~er stop caused by a run~up rrlcvement SQid rail 'braking buI.er stop is re-turned -to the posi~tion of readiness after p~

the screw.~ have been loosened, with -~he re-turn movemen-t being pe~rformed with the aid o~ a -tow rope havi.ng a tclckle means or a shun-ting locomotive pulling -therea-t. Such a return Movement is disadvantageous for several reasons.
Shun-ting engines as a rule are not always readily available~
The pulling ~orward with -the aid of a -tackle means i,s ex-pensive from a labour point of view and will block -the respective rail section for the corresponding period of time ~

In case o~ heavy run-up movements and displacements by some metres the troublesome return operations must be suffered~
With minor shocks which occur ~requently and may in many instances occur daily and with which the rail braking buffer stop is displaced only by hal~' a metre or one me-tre, the return procedure proves to be troublesome and often is even forgotten so that for possible later run-up mo~ements the whole length of.brake path is not available.
'''`~' .

A buf~er stop has ~1SG become known in which the buf~er device is arranged to have a braking effect and may be proviaed both on a fixed buf~er stop ancl on a rail b-raking bu~fer s-top (German patent letter 1 ~0 964). With this kno~rn buffer stop there is provided a buffer pad which is guide~3. along a ~riction element b~J means of one or se-~era di.splaccab:Le buffer rails, ~aid fric-tion element being ~r~vi.d~
./ith a wedg? surface cooperating wi-th a wedge sur~ace o~
the buffer rail. Releasable clamping means serve -to brlng ..... ,/

tlle weclge SUI~ ~`aces into braXing engagetnent wi-th each o-the~
A~'ter a rur1-u~p movement i-t is necessary -to bring the buL~:e-r rails 'back agai-n into tne ori~inal posi-tion. For this pur,?ose -the brake screws wil:L be s]ackenecl and -the 'buf'~:er rails displ~Aced ~orwards in-to -the i~nl-tial position. This re-turn prccedure too has proved to be -troublesome no-t least because it -too requires auxi]iary technical means, The inven-tion is thus based upon the problem of providing a buffer sto~ for rail vehic1es wi-th automatic return rnovernen-t.

This problem is solved in accordance wi-th -the invention in tha-t the buffer length forms part of a hydraulic buffer arrangement connected with the triangles and in that an advance unit provided with buf'fer blocks and adapted to be placed i-n close contact against the buffer rails is movably connected to -the rails in ~ron-t o~ the hydraulic buffer arrangementO

In case of minor run-up rnovemen-ts the hydraulic buf`fer arrange--ment will yield and use up part of or the entire run-~p energy until the~advance unit comes to lie against the impact trl-angles. With -the r~n-up pressure no longer prevailing, the h~draulic buffer arrangement will adjust the advance unit again back in-to the original po,sition of readin~ss spaced from the lmpac-t triangles.

This ad~ance ~nit prevents the running Ap vehicle f:rom directly contacting the buffer arrangement. Ver-tical f`o~Aces causing darn,Age or ~estruc-tion of the bufEer arrangement are -thus kep-t a~ay :f:rom it. The advance unit is ~here~':ore movably connected tG l,he r~ils so that rela-tively minor ~'orces of .~0./4 ~ 2 adjustment are required.-to move itg with the re-turn energy inheren-t -to rhe buffer arrangemen-t being suffioient to retur the advance ~i-t -to i-ts ini-tial pos:i-tion.

The hydraulic buffer arrangement may be of a known construc-t-ion and may comprise, for example 9 a cyli.nder filled wi-th hydraulic oil and a ni-trogsn~filled plunger guided i.n the cylinder which, when biased, will be forced into the cylincler thereby pressing the hydraulic oil through a con-trolled passage opéning and into a nitrogen chamber formed in the '.
plunger. The nitrogen is compressed in this manner but expands after the plunger ha~ been relieved, in order to force i-t back into the initial posi-tion.

What is particularly advantageous according -to one embodiment of the invention is the use of a rail braking buffer s-top in the case of which the impact triangles cooperate wi-th a rail serving as a stationary .friction element via at leas-t one braking element each, and the braking element is kept closely against the rail with the aid of at least one holding ....
means, preferably brake screws. The rail braking buffer stop w:i.ll ge-t into function only after -the hydraul.-~c '~uffer has been forced in and when -the advance ~l~it lies in close contact against the rail braking buffer stop. Thereby~ a s-tepwise braking operatiGn is provided with -the second s-tep serving to in-tercept ma~or run-up forces. With rela-tively hi.gh run--up energies the hydraulic buffer may also be effective a~ a rigi.d.
structural componient~ so -tha-t a braking effect will be obtained direct;ly via the rail braking buffer stop.
:"
~ 5 At-tention is drawn to -the fc.ct -tha-t -the combina-tion oi a rRil braking buf:fer s-top as describ2d abo-ve with a hydrauli(:
buffer arrangemen-t is considered to he an invention without the advance unit mentioned above.

As an alterna-tive to the embodiments as described above provision may also be made for the bu~fer arrangemen-t i-tself to be fastened a-t the impact-triangles via a fric-tional braking means by perhaps forming part of the kn~m huffer rails as described above. In -this arrangementS the impact triangles may be connected to the rails either rigidly or positively, in order to enable a frictional braking.

The buffer s-top according to the invention in addition o~fers the considerable advantage that with the frequently occurring minor run-up impacts no return wor.k becomes necessary a-t all, the buffer stop thus being always in a posi-tion o~ resdi.ness for minor and major impacts. Besides, it brings about a relief as regards maintenance and observation of the con-dition of readiness of -the buffer stop. The usual return work will occur only with majox impac'cs.

The rail braking bu~er s-top and the hydraulic buffer arrange~
ment will have to be designed .in such a manner -that the ~reater outpu-t capacity is on tche part o~ the rail braking buffer stop~

The ad.vance uni-t may be designed in any manner so as to . ~.. ,/6 , ....

Since 9 as men-tioned above 9 -the run-up energy is ;to be transmitted -to~the buffer arrangement,~rom -the advance uni.t, the members bearing the buffers of the advance uni-t are arxang~ed in -the plane of the associated impac-t trianples. The la-tter are in their turn suppor-ted rela-tively loosely on the rails, so tha~ the advanoe uni-t sectiorsare suitably interconnected with each other by means of a tran,sverse strut9 .in order to impart s-tability to the advance unit.

During a r~l~up movemen-t 'che advance unit will become dis-placed in a direction towards'the impact triangles un-,til they are c'ontacted. ln this connection9 provision is made in another embodiment of the invention for the ~ides facin.g each o-the.,r of the im~act triangles and t~e advance unit to be fo~med in such a manner that through a predetermined distax~,c2 they extend .in parallel with each other. This is e.t'fecti.ve -to guarantee a SXlUg contact between impact triang]e an~ advanct~ uni-t, so that -the r~m~up energies may l~e aecom.motlcltt,d by the :lrn~act triangles in the desired plane~

~irec-tion towards the rail and for the advance u~it ~ections to be o.~ a -triangular configura-tion in the plane o~ the rails.
By -this arrangement, a relatively lon.g way is made possible be-tween -the advance unit and -the impac-t triangle or9 with a given way9 -the length of the hydraulic buf`fer arrangemen-t is shor-tened io. relation to the conventional impac-t tria~ 1 _.Lg es.

As mentioned, the sections of the advance unit are to be movably comlected with the rails. In this contex.t~ provision is made in ano-ther embodiment of the invention f`or the advance uni--. sections -to comp:rise a ~astening por-tion engaging beneath the rail heads from both sides and being supported at the rail head via rollers. The rollers mak~
pc,s~ible a particularly easy adjustment of the advance unit which is imp~r-tant in particular in connection with an au-tomatic return procedure.

The most suitaole arrangerQent of the hydraulic buffer assembly according to ~ further embodiment of the invention consists in -tha-t the hydraulic buffer arrangement comprising plungtr and cylinder is :fitted on -the upper surf`~ce of the impac-t trJ.angle~ ~or example, welded -thereto.

In spite o:f rollers and an easy guidance o~' -the advance urni-t on the rails it may happen -that the return force inh~rent to the buffer arrangements does not suffice -to return tne advance unit -to the posi-tion of readiness automa-tically. Thereore, provision is made in a further development of the inven tion for a spring assembly to be arranged ~e-tween the i~lTpact triangles and the advance unit. According to a fur-ther embodi.ment of -the i.nvention, this spring assembly may consist in that there is a coil spring arranged be-tween each impac-t tria.ngle and the advance unit which is supported on abutments of the l;riangle and the advance unit, said cc~i~ spring being g liided by a guide roàl or pipe arranged inside which is fas-tenecl a t the ad.vance uni t and s~por-ted for sliding move-ment in the associated triangle.

When'-the brak.ing operati.on is nearing i-ts end and the speed has been exhausted5 -the hydraulic buf`f`er may slide back into the position of` in-terceptingO

The ~arious '6raking opera-tions in -this arrangemen-t are com-plementary to each other in an excellen-t manner, because the designed dimension of -the rail braking buffer stop may '~e ad-Justed entirely -to the kinetic energy to be expected. ''his is equall.y applicable also to -the length of -the brake path.
In the case of' a rai].'braking buf'f`er stop the brake screws need not be slackened with each minor impact in order to mcve it back to the positi~n of' readiness.

A buffer 32 is connected to the free end o~ the.pis-ton arrangement 31.

An advanoe unit 3 is,arranged at a location spaced through a d,lstance ~rom the ilnpact -triangles 1 which consists of two seotiorls 349 3F co~nected with each other via a carrier 33 resistant -to bending. ~ach one o~ these sectio~ i.s provided wi-th a plate 36 extending in parallel wi-th -the plane o~ tlle rails and with an extension 37 at -the undsr~

The sides of -the p'!.ates 36 and 38 which are inc~ined in -the shape of a roof are connected wii,h ~ach ~ 13 -c-ther by ~neans ol stif~ening flanges 39, 4-0 with the en~, of -the flanges 39 an~ /+~ 'acing each other being space(3 ~:rorn eac}) other ver-tlcally and in-terconnec-ted by means o~ a 1;ransversc shee-t rne-tal pla-te 1~1 ex-tendlng upwards above -the h-ydraul-ic buffer arrange,rnen-t 2.

Between the plates 36 and 38 there are two rollers 5 ro-tatably suppor-ted in the lower region thereo~ through which the advance ~it 3 is supported on the drive track 13.
By this arrangemen~t the advance unit 3 may be easily displaced on the -tracks 13.

It has s-tl:ll to be added that the hydraulic bu:~'fer arrange-ments 2 are in-terconrlected wi-th each other through a carrier 51 resis-tant to bending.

In the following, a short desGrip-tion will be given of the mode of operatlon of the rail braking buf~er stop as described with automatic return~
If tlle rolling stock arrives at low speed and abuts aga.~nst the buf.~er blocks 42 of the advance unit 3, the piston arrangement 31 of the buffer arrangement 2 will yield -~nder dissipa-tion o~ the rlm-up energy. The advance unit will in this operation mo~e in a direction towards the impact triangles 19 untLl the piston arrangement is completely retracted and, now, the residual energy which, howe~er~ may ye-t still be substantial is a~commodated by the rail braking buf~er s~op in -the usual manner. Af'ter release the advance m:it will then re-tu-rn -to the position of' readi~ess as shown in Figure 1 as a resul-t cf -the re-turn force inheren~t to the buffe.r arrangement 2 and as a result of the return enargy o:E the sprirlg assemblies 4 (Figure 4 showing -the completely retrac-ted posi*ion), , .
From Figure 2 it may be recognized -that -the buEfer blocl~s ~'2 are tapered .I.a-terally so -that with the rolling stock running up onto the ad~ance un:-t, a sort of sel~center.Lng wi:Ll OC¢llr .,./15 in order t~ a.-~oid a canting of -the advance unit. The -trans-mi,ssion O:r fo:rces ac-ting in a direction transvQr,se to the axis o.f -the buffer arrangement 2 is avoided by the mere co~t,act of the bufler arrangGment a-t the advance uni-t 3 .
- lf a vehicle unit arrives a-t eleva-ted speed~ then ths hydraul:ic bu:~fer arrangernent 2 will move forwards w~th th~, vehicle s-till before it is f'orced in and will be intercepted by -the rail braking buffer stop which performs a multiple of braking action.

The embodiment according to Figures 5 to 8 is diff'erent merely a.s regards -the advance unit 3. Therefore, like parts are designated with like reference numerals.

The -two sections 34, 35 of the advance unit 3 are designed in a manner similar to the clesi.gn of the advance ~nit accorcling to the embodiment as descri.bed ~bove, however, they differ-from e~ch o-ther in that the fron-t flange 60 is extended to a height level with the flange 40 and the two sections 349 35 are connec-ted with each other ln the range of the buffer arrangements 2 by means ~ a trans-verse carrier ~! resis-tan-'c to bending.
