Description

Flexible rail support with open or closed rail superstructure for rail vehicles.

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a flexible support for rails with an open or closed rail superstructure for rail vehicles, in which rails are held on both sides by rigidly fitted elastomeric or similar profiles with support profiles, for example angled sheets vertically movable above a floor support body of e.g. grates or sleepers, the supporting profiles being fixed to the floor support body by means of anchor bolts.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the known flexible bearing for broad-rails, also called Vignol rails, the support profiles in the form of angular plates are fastened directly by means of anchor bolts to the floor support body, and an open upper, for example a ballast bed, is provided. Such a bearing arrangement of the rails has the disadvantage that in the event of wear of the rails or the necessary pitch correction, it is only possible to apply welding or replacement of the rails. This method is costly and leads to the desired success only to a limited extent. By means of such deposition welding, the shape of the rail is unsuitable.

Flexible grooves are also known for grooved rails, which are also suitable for closed uppers. In such a known solution, described in EP 0 180 118, the gutter rails are supported on a flexible potting compound which is itself provided on a support body of concrete slabs. Elastomeric profiles are used on both sides of the groove rails, which are substantially closed to the rails at the top and to which, for example, paving stones or bitumen are attached laterally from the upper. Also with this flexible rail support, the used rails or the repair of the track gauge can only be carried out by application welding. In addition, noise damping is insufficient here, and cracks or slots are disadvantageously formed between the flexible rail mounting profiles and the side-closed closed upper. In addition, there is the disadvantage that the replacement of rails with this flexible rail support is very costly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a flexible rail support suitable for both wide rails and so-called Vignol rails or grooved rails which allows easy rail mounting and dismantling. without the need for spot welding. In addition, this flexible rail arrangement has high damping values in terms of sound absorption.

This object is achieved by the flexible mounting of the rails according to the invention, which is based, on the one hand, on supporting profiles,

1CZ 279893 B6, in particular, the angular surfaces for the rails are supported by horizontal sections on the support body and are fastened thereon by means of clamping plates, and on the other hand it is rotatable in the opening in each clamping plate

eccentric drivings are supported, on the one hand, in the support holes an insert having means for pivotable anchor bolts arranged upwards of the bodies and in eccentric inserts,

and on the other hand, the eccentric inserts, the clamping plates and the supporting bodies are locked or fixed by means of nuts fastened to the anchor bolts.

The assembly and disassembly of the rails thus becomes very simple and economical. Indeed, when the rails need to be replaced, in the case of an open upper, the nuts on the anchor bolts need only be loosened and the clamping plates swiveled laterally, which makes it possible to pick up the rails to be exchanged, including elastomeric profiles and support profiles, e.g. Thereafter, the elastomeric profiles and support profiles are released from the rail and connected to a new rail, whereby the support profiles are then placed on the support bodies. Subsequently, the clamping plates are rotated back into their clamping position and the nuts on the anchor bolts are tightened firmly. It is then possible to provide, for example, a ballast bed. If the rails have not yet worn considerably, the rail guide can be repaired by avoiding the welding process by loosening the nuts on the anchor bolts and turning the eccentric inserts so that the rails compensate for the traveled sections laterally. These measures can be implemented in a very time- and cost-saving way compared to the methods used hitherto. The flexible rail support according to the invention is optionally applicable to both grooved rails and wide-rail rails, so-called Vignol rails. In both cases, it is possible to insert elastomeric profiles with which the supporting profiles, for example angular surfaces, engage externally in the cavities on both sides of the rails. In any case, high damping of sound transmission in the solid material is also achieved because the flexible free suspension of the rails avoids sound transmission in the solid material when traveling on the rails. All these advantages are achieved with easy rail accessibility and rail fastening.

Advantageous embodiments of the elastic bearing according to the invention follow from the further claims. Thus, for example, it is possible to utilize the elastic bearing of the rails according to the invention even when the upper is closed, provided that covering bodies for supporting bodies, clamping plates, eccentric inserts and anchor bolts are provided at both sides and parallel to or adjacent to each rail. they are supported on clamps and on the floor support body. These cover bodies allow for a smooth change of rails even when the upper is closed, if necessary, since there is no need to disturb the overlap of the track made of paving stones, concrete slabs or bitumen, but only the cover body is removed. use. All conventional covers, such as cobblestones, concrete slabs or bituminous material, can be attached externally to the cover body. Repairs to the rail cover are considerably reduced, since there is substantial separation between the rails and the rail cover.

2GB 279893 B6

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the supporting profiles, in particular the angle plates of the cover body, are firmly held in their mounted position. If, for example, the support profiles are made of angle sheets, the rail side cover bodies can be provided with flat horizontal grooves, which are inserted into the edges of the angled sheet sections arranged obliquely upwards when the cover body is mounted.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the grooves between the outer side of the wide rails and between the cover bodies or the grooves between the outer sides and the inner sides of the groove rails and between the cover bodies are filled with filler tapes, for example of plastic. These filler tapes can also be easily removed when the rails are removed and reused after the rails have been installed.

The cover bodies may consist of plastic, rubber, concrete or metal. For economic reasons, plastic coverings are preferred.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the eccentric inserts extend over the clamping plates by an annular collar. Furthermore, they can be provided, for example, with axial parallel holes for rotational drive. When tightening the nuts on the anchor bolt, the annular collar is pressed against the clamping tab, which, like the clamping foot, clamps against the horizontal section of the support profile. When the nuts on the anchor bolts are loosened, the eccentric inserts can be rotated by means of a corresponding tool to engage the holes provided in the eccentric inserts parallel to their axes in order to repair the rail guide.

According to yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the support bodies may consist of inverted U-shaped rail pieces, square tube pieces or a plastic body which are arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rail on the floor support body.

Overview of the drawings

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a flexible rail support according to the invention formed as an open superstructure; 1 for a pair of rails but with a closed rail superstructure. FIG.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The flexible mounting of the wide-rail rails 10, also called Vignol rails, shown in FIG. 1 is suitable for an open or closed rail superstructure. For example, a concrete slab support body 11 is provided as a base. However, concrete grates or sleepers of concrete, wood, plastic or steel can also be provided as floor support body 11. It is envisaged that the broad-leg rails 10 will first be mounted in two rows on the support bodies 11 during assembly and that they will be mounted in a suitable manner, as will be the case in the following.

The connection with FIG. 1 is described. After the mounting of the wide-rail rails 10, the rail joints are first welded before the rails 10 are aligned and positioned in the determined lateral and height positions in the usual manner. In this case, the distance A is set between the underside of the wide rails 10 and between the upper side of the support bodies 11, which is to be, for example, approximately 10 mm. Then, the boreholes 12 are formed for the anchor bolts 13 and the anchor bolts 13 are fastened in the bores 12 in the usual manner. The anchor bolts 13 pass through holes 14 formed in the support bodies 15. The support bodies 15 are mounted on support bodies 11 formed of concrete plates, and in the present embodiment consist of inverted U-shaped rail pieces. for example, it was possible to use pieces of square tube or plastic body. It should be noted that these support bodies 15 are spaced apart from each other at a certain distance from the wide-rail rails 10. The anchor bolts 13 and hence the support bodies 15 are arranged in two parallel arranged rows at intervals of approximately 60 cm with a linear run of the rail. These rows of support bodies 15 are provided with supporting profiles, for example angular plates 16, by means of their horizontal sections 17. The broad-gauge rails 10 are elastomeric profiles which are rigidly disposed on both sides. 18 are kept at a distance A from the angle plates 16, i.e. with a vertical clearance, above the floor support bodies 11 in the form of concrete slabs. The elastomeric profiles 18 and the angle plates 16 are continuously arranged in the axial direction of the wide-rail rails 10. The lengths of these components are of such dimensions that they can be transported, mounted or dismounted in the usual way.

The angle plates 16 are fastened to the support bodies 15 by means of clamping plates 19. The clamping plates 19 have, as can be seen from FIG. 1, an angular cross-section, with an opening 21 always formed in the vertical arm 20 of the clamping plates 19. The eccentric insert 22 is rotatably inserted in the clamping plates 19, which over the upper side of one clamping plate 19 overlaps or abuts the annular collar 23, respectively. Nuts 24 are screwed onto the threaded section of the anchor bolts 13, and a spring washer 25 is provided on the anchor bolt 13 between each nut 24 and between the annular collar 23 of the eccentric insert 22 and the clamping bolts 24 and the eccentric inserts 22 are therefore clamped the shims 19 with their horizontal arms 26 on the horizontal sections 17 of the angle plates 16, which are thus fastened to the supporting bodies 15.

If, over time, the Vignol rails 10 have run-in sections and if their track needs to be adjusted, the nuts 24 on the anchor bolts 13 need only be loosened and the eccentric inserts 22 must be rotated accordingly to effect lateral adjustment of the Vignol rails. In order to rotate the eccentric inserts 22, for example, holes (not shown), which are parallel to the axis, can be provided in the eccentric inserts 22, which then enable the rotary entraining by means of corresponding tools. Alternatively, the annular collar 23 may be formed with a plurality of edges to allow the corresponding screwdriver to be fitted or

-4GB 279893 B6 screwdriver with matching key sleeve. For draining the rails, boxes for draining the rails, which are not shown and which can be connected to the treated drainage pipes, can be mounted in a known manner. In the embodiment with an open rail superstructure, gravel can be placed between the two belts of the Vignol rails and laterally from the two rails 10. However, if a closed track superstructure is needed, the system shown in FIG. 2 can be followed. The flexible rail support shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to that of FIG. 1, therefore identical parts are identified by the same reference numerals.

For the production of a closed track superstructure, cover bodies 27 are provided on both sides and parallel to or adjacent to each Vignol rail 10, which have a slight distance relative thereto, which are supported on concrete slabs by a vertical arm 28 and abut with their horizontal arm 29. The anchor bolts 13, with their nuts 24 screwed in, are provided in the cavity 30 in the cover bodies 27, which is formed as through-holes. The cover bodies 27 extend over the support bodies 15, the clamping plates 19 with eccentric inserts 22 and the anchor bolts 13, in this case. The height of the cover bodies 27 is formed such that their upper side roughly coincides laterally with the upper side of the Vignol rails 10. The cover bodies 27 may be of such a length that they overlap, for example, over three or four support bodies 15, clamping plates 19 and anchor plates. studs 13, wherein the cover bodies 27 are mutually opposed to each other. Longitudinal grooves 31 are provided on the side walls of the cover bodies 27 which face the Vignol rails 10, in which the edges of the inclined upwardly extending sections of the angle plates 16 are interlocked. The angled plates 16 or supporting profiles thus firmly hold the cover bodies 27 in their assembled position. The grooves between the outer side of each Vignol rail 10 and the outer cover body 27 above the elastomeric profiles 18 are filled with filler strips 32, for example of plastic. Through the drainage channels 33 provided in the cover bodies 27, water that has accumulated in the free grooves between the Vignol rails 10 and the cover bodies 27 can drain off. The space between the inner, opposite cover bodies 27 can be filled with any rail cover 34 which it may also include an installation pipe 35. This may be paving, bitumen, concrete slabs, grass, etc. This rail cover 34 has a construction height which corresponds to the cover bodies 27 and the Vignol rails 10, with a rail cover opposite the inner cover bodies 27. 34 provided, for example, with plastic plates 36. The cover bodies 27 may also consist of plastic, but also of rubber, concrete or metal.

Any rail cover, such as paving, bitumen, concrete slabs, grass and the like, can be subsequently connected to the cover bodies 27 provided on the outside of the Vignol rails 10.

The drainage of the open grooves beside the broad-rails above the elastomeric profiles 18 is carried out, as mentioned above, via the drainage channels 33 into the cover bodies 27 and further by means of rails (not shown) and drainage ducts into the treated channel.

In order to repair the track or replace the broad-rails 10, no breakage of the rail covers 34 is necessary, but it is sufficient to remove only the cover bodies 27 and the filling strips 32. These components can be reused after the rails: 10 have been replaced.

In the previous elastic bearing of the rails 10, it is also suitable for so-called grooved rails, both open and open. even when the track superstructure is closed. In the case of a closed track superstructure, the grooves between the outer sides of the groove rails 10 and between the cover bodies 27 may be provided with filler tapes, for example of plastic.

In the previously described flexible rail mounting it is suitable! for rolling stock of any type, including trams. In the latter case, it is advantageous that no extraneous, in-ground installations or in-house installations are endangered by stray currents.
