The central, immediately adjacent to the track tamping machine frame is equipped with a arranged between two chassis height-adjustable middle and flank plow and the third machine frame with arranged between two chassis track stabilizers and a sweeping device. At the front, projecting end of the tamping machine is also a höhenverstell- and seitenverschwenkbares small plow plate per rail arranged. With such a continuous

The trays can be driven cyclically - at the front and rear end each with a driving cab and in the area of tamping units provided with an operator cabin - machine dressing the thresholds cyclically with gradual right of way of Stopfaggregates, with the same machine dressing and a ballast bed profiling with subsequent ballast bed compaction is feasible by the track stabilizers. Another machine association variant according to this reference is that the continuous f loan Gleisstopf-, leveling and straightening machine lent ledigf which provided on the second machine frame, height-adjustable via a drive plow arrangement with sweeping device is referred to below in the working direction. In the case of heavy irregular gravel accumulations or in the case of very few gravel in the area of the stuffing zones, this machine grouping requires a previous passage with the plow arrangement for gravel profiling or the conveyance of gravel for the stuffing zones before the actual stuffing operation. Also in this machine arrangement driving cabins are respectively provided at the end of the two interconnected machine frame, the machine structure extends continuously to the driving cabin height.

It is also - according to DD-PS 132 986 of the same applicant or patentee - a stepwise from threshold to threshold movable track tamping, leveling and straightening machine arrangement known in which the tamping machine both in the front and rear end each with a a suspension trailer having hinged, is. The front trailer is connected via a coupling device telescopically longitudinally displaceable with the track tamping machine and has between the chassis on a height adjustable drives over center and flank plow.

At the rear trailer only a height-adjustable Kehreinrichtung and Tastorgane are provided for the reference system. Such a machine arrangement with a step by step from threshold to threshold movable tamping machine and a machine for this continuously movable or movable ballast plow arrangement has not been built.

It is also - according to DD-PS 132 985 of the same Aiuielderin or patentee - a similar Gleisstopf-, leveling and Richtmaschin ^ n- ^ nordnung known, but in which the stuffing machine upstream Mittelpflug on an independently continuously movable vehicle with its own cabin and machine structure is arranged with display and control devices.

Object of the invention

It is the object of the invention to use a continuous (non-stop) track-traveling machine for undercutting the sleepers of a track which has better technological characteristics.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to provide a continuous (non-stop) track-traveling machine for undercutting the sleepers of a track, with which a better and more economical track tamping and processing of ballast bedding is feasible or improved applications are achievable.

According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the track tamping machine with its - in the working direction front - machine frame with the second, supported by at least one landing gear frame of the

Vehicle end articulated binding or detachable is formed.

With such a combination of machines according to the invention for the first time a continuous processing or profiling of the ballast bed in simultaneous connection with an immediately following continuous lending of evenly einschotterbaren track track within a single, common continuous (non-stop) machine passage can be achieved. With diener machine is thus produced in a particularly economical manner with relatively little manpower and less mechanical use of a uniform track ballast resulting, more uniform and durable in a single work passage untenopf TES track. Furthermore, since the vehicle connected to the plow arrangement is articulated directly to the tamping machine, there is a very advantageous and easy possibility of more direct operation of the plow arrangement and direct transmission of power from the driven landing gear of the tamping machine to the upstream plow vehicle for sufficiently high thrust forces and trouble-free gravel distribution. By this combination or power transmission option is also a particularly flat or low training of the upstream and hinged to the tamping plow vehicle can be achieved. As a further particular advantage of the located at the front stuffing machine-end cab an unobstructed continuous traffic view of the upstream track or a view for a close observation and operation of the plow arrangement for a different Schotterverhälfcnissen adapted use of the middle plow and or or Flank plows guaranteed. In addition, the advantage of the transmission of high tensile and shear forces between tamping machine and the upstream plow vehicle also

an easy integration into a train for a quick Uberstellfahrt achievable.

A preferred development of the invention is that the connected to the upstream second machine frame with the height adjustable and acted on drives middle plow and flank plow having plow assembly connected tamping machine at her - in the working direction rear - machine frame end with a third, supported by at least one chassis machine frame a further vehicle articulated at the end is formed or coupled to which a height adjustable via a drive, preferably connected to a be acted upon by a drive cross conveyor belt Kehreinrichtung is arranged. This training with a pre and subordinate, each connected to facilities for ballast bed profiling or -kehrung allows both immediately before the stuffing process and immediately thereafter a rapid gravel transport for a uniform track gravel in particular the stuffing zones for a qualitatively even track clogging and permanent track. This also eliminates the usual use of a ballast plow after tamping.

According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the two equipped with the plow arrangement or with the sweeping machine frame are designed as provided with only a chassis trailer vehicles. Such trailer vehicles with plow arrangement and sweeping allow for particularly f.infacher training an advantageous power transmission, in particular to the upstream or downstream vehicle for transmitting sufficiently high shear or tensile forces for a continuous and easy gravel distribution or -kehrung. In addition, with the linkage at the end of the stuffing machine, a simple conversion of already in use, continuously moving

ble stuffing machines feasible.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the front and optionally subordinate machine frame has a preferably central, projecting carrier, which is connected in the region of the respective end-side chassis of the tamping machine via a preferably mutually effective joint with this. Such articulation of the upstream and optionally downstream machine frame is simple and yet robust and ensures advantageous track guidance sufficient, safe power transmission from the tamping machine to the upstream plow arrangement for trouble-free continuous ballast distribution or profiling.

The two vehicles with the front second, connected to the plow arrangement and the rear third, associated with the sweeping machine frame according to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention directly in the range of - arranged at the front and at the rear end of the tamping machine - Fahrbzw. Operator cabin to the middle first machine frame articulated or coupled formed, the two vehicles are formed with the second and third machine frame without cabin and no high machine structure or substantially only to the machine frame level slightly above the associated chassis. This in construction simplest low training of the upstream or downstream vehicle allows, in particular in conjunction with the immediately adjacent driving or operator cabins of the central tamping machine both a continuous free traffic perspective on the adjacent track as well as a largely unrestricted insight on the upstream plow arrangement or the downstream Kehreinrichtung or their control and ease of use.

Finally, there is another particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, Darss that with its own

Such trained as a regular vehicle track tamping, leveling and leveling machine is - even while avoiding disturbing influence on the arranged between the chassis working units - particularly suitable for such end-side articulation of vehicles with other working units. The arrangement of buffer couplings at both the stuffing box end and the additional machine frame allows a quick and feasible connection bzv. Decoupling, despite the upstream and downstream vehicle unrestricted incorporation of the tamping machine in a train for a quick and safe Uberstellfahrt is possible.
