The device has a coach (2) for accommodating the material, where the coach is movable on a track (1). The coach has two side panels (3) and two front walls (4). The coach has a belt conveyor (7) for delivering the material of the coach to the neighboring coach in an area of two front walls.

Description

The The invention relates to a device for conveying material in track construction according to the preamble of claim 1.

in the Track construction, there are the so-called Materialfördersilowagen (MFS cars). These serve for the transport of various building materials in Construction site areas, especially sand, gravel, gravel or the like. to a construction machine or a construction machine away and to another the Zwischenbunkerung of the aforementioned materials.

at the known MFS cars are the materials by means of conveyor belts from Car transported to cart. This is called "bunkering" of the substances in the motorcade. Here, the number of strung together Cart arbitrarily chosen become. The cars have inside a bottom conveyor belt to transport the materials. The transfer from car to car takes place by means of a transfer conveyor belt.

The However, transport system with the previously known car has quite a few Disadvantage. A major disadvantage is that the car - due to the single-sided transfer belt - the materials only transport in a given direction from car to car can. This means that the Working direction of material flow the logistical setup the car at the beginning of a construction site affected. For material flow changes have to Turn the cars accordingly on the track in the other direction become. Another disadvantage is that the transfer conveyor as a separate component is mounted below and in front of the transport bunker unit. This takes a lot of space and thus reduces the transport volume. About that limited beyond it also the load volume in the inflow area of the transfer to the next Dare.

The AT 394 530 B shows a bulk material transport vehicle for inclusion in a train consisting of several such train of the type specified. The Verladewagen has an open-top car body for storing the bulk material. In the lower area of the car body is a running in the carriage longitudinal direction first conveyor. Parallel next to it is an independent, second conveyor for transporting bulk material in the opposite direction. At the ends of the car are transfer conveyors for transferring the bulk material to the adjacent car.

The DE 21 46 590 A shows a hopper wagon with automatic loading and unloading devices. In the bottom of the car there are openable and closable discharge openings for the material. On both sides of the discharge opening a bottom conveyor belt is provided in each case.

The DD 241 050 A1 shows a heated cart for bulk material. The floor area of the car has a trough-shaped receptacle for raw lignite, which is set on fire.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a device for conveying material in the track construction of the type specified at the outset, that the Transport of materials improved and in particular more flexible is.

The technical solution is characterized by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The basic idea of the invention is that both ends of the MFS wagon are each equipped with a conveyor belt. Thus, according to the invention, both ends of the carriage have a conveyor belt, it is possible by this arrangement that the material direction independent, so it can be transported on both sides. Thus, the Materialfördersilowagen invention can transport the material by means of the bottom conveyor belts and with the end-side conveyor belts in both directions, without having to turn the car. The transfer of materials can thus be carried out variably in both directions, without having to logistically turn the car. Likewise, the loading and / or unloading of the carriages can take place at each of the two ends of the wagon train. The bottom straps can be configured along the carriage floor as a one-piece or multi-part bottom strap. The basic idea of the technical realization is firstly that both end walls of the MFS wagon are each equipped with a conveyor belt. The conveyor belts are integrated or mounted in the end walls. They thus form a fixed unit with the end walls. The end walls are tiltable with their integrated or attached conveyor belts equipped. This eliminates the separate attachment of transfer conveyors. Furthermore, a lot of space is saved because the conveyor belts are integrated or mounted on or in the back of the car and in the end walls. Thus, according to the invention, both ends of the carriage each having a conveyor belt, it is possible by this arrangement that the material direction independent, that can be transported on both sides. Technically, this is achieved by varying the inclination of the end walls, namely to perform the transfer to both the one side and to the other side. This tilt adjustment of the end walls is technically easy to carry out. Another advantage is that through the use of integrated in the load compartment wall, namely the end wall or attached conveyor belts a larger load volume can be transported and handled. Thus, the material conveying silo cars according to the invention can transport the material in both working directions by means of the floor conveyor belts as well as with the conveyor belts integrated or attached in the two end walls, without having to turn the carriages. The equivalent features of the two end walls, it is also possible to realize a car with both sides of the variable supply and discharge of materials. The transfer of materials can be done variably in both directions, without having to logistically turn the car. By integrating the bottom conveyor belt and the two conveyor belts of the end walls in the corresponding areas of the car, these rail cars can also be used as a normal trolley with increased loading capacity. Likewise, the loading and / or unloading of the carriages can take place at each of the two ends of the wagon train. The bottom straps can be configured along the carriage floor as a one-piece or multi-part bottom strap. As a result, this means that no separate transfer belts are required anymore.

The Training according to claim 2 hits a first variant in the formation of the end walls before. By the side walls of the Car extended forward are and thus the fulcrum of the end walls offset slightly to the rear is guaranteed at all times that the Side area of the car is always closed and no material on the side can fall out.

A Alternative suggests according to claim 3 that the end walls in the manner of a chute are formed. By this is meant that the substantially plate-shaped end walls still side walls define which equally in the Downward pivoting of the end walls to move forward / down and thus the actual sidewall extend the carriage. This is also guaranteed at all times that no Material can fall out of the car sideways.

A further training suggests according to claim 4 that the end walls in its folded down end position essentially a horizontal one Take position. This brings with it a decisive advantage. This advantage is that the car on the lowered end wall filled can be. This means that through the corresponding lowering of the front wall is a direct task of the Transport good can be done. This eliminates the provision of a separate Loading unit. Thus, the loading of the car at the same time done on both sides. This brings crucial logistical Advantages regarding the loading situation in construction sites or at storage areas with, where no direct transfer of special large machines can be done. Thus, overall by the horizontal lowering the front wall accounts for a separate loading station. Rather, it is done the equipment directly. The car can hereby as a transfer car or as to be loaded Wagons are used. It does not matter which side of the car is used as a task page. By reversing the Running direction of the bands is a load realized flexibly. It also plays absolutely no Role, which wagon of a train is used for the loading.

The Training according to claim 5 beats from the basic principle, that is The conveyor belt of the surrendering Cart with its discharge end above the catcher end of that conveyor belt located, which receives the discarded material and transported. This represents a total of a cascade arrangement of the two Conveyor belts, so that one ensures continuous transport is. For the realization of this cascade-like transference formation take the end walls the car corresponding different angles of inclination.

A further training suggests according to claim 6 that the Conveyor belts are telescopic. This creates an improvement in the handover. Because by the telescopic ability of that conveyor belt, which transports the material of one car to the other car, will have a greater grip height on the Neighboring car reached. This is done by removing or extending the transfer belt reached. This has an effect on the discharge of the material on the resulting bulk cone of the material in the adjacent car. Thus, the debris cone material in the receiving car by changing the conveyor belt length positively influenced.

The Training according to claim 7 beats before that Floor conveyor on the one hand and the two conveyor belts on the other as a one-piece, continuous conveyor belt are formed.

A Alternative suggests according to claim 8 that the Floor conveyor on the one hand and the two conveyor belts on the other independently are formed from each other. This has the advantage that, for example the speeds of the bands can be set differently.

A further development proposes according to claim 9, that the bottom of the car has an openable and closable discharge opening for the material. This discharge opening can for Discharge of the materials used. Preferably located below the discharge opening with respect to the track direction transverse discharge belt for the discharge of the material. This is provided when the material is no longer to be used in the work area, but rather to be transported away. In addition to this discharge but also the discharge can be used for ballast or backfilling of the track. Thus, the discharge opening is fed to a multiple use. For ballasting the track to backfill the track with ballast below the car below the discharge preferably so-called discharge hopper. These unloading funnels enable ballasting of the track according to the previous ballast unloading technology.

The Development thereof according to claim 10 beats before that Floor conveyor is divided into two parts. This allows the discharge opening to discharge the substances be installed symmetrically in the carriage center. When switching the bands towards the center can thus by opening a bottom hatch of the unloading a discharge of the substances are made. This can be done with adjustability of the band in all directions. Thus, by the symmetry of the carriage according to the invention installed in the wagon means absolutely symmetrical extraction devices that will be an even supply to the Center of the car through the optional division of the bottom conveyor belt enable. This only has to the direction of the split bands be converted, so as an opposite supply of substances to the center to realize.

A further training suggests according to claim 11 that the bands total adjustable, in particular displaceable and / or pivotable are. This makes it possible the unloading funnels from the belts accessible close. By the tapes be moved and / or pivoted accordingly, is an addition to the Unloading funnels possible. This feeder can be done in different ways. For one thing by moving the bands created a gap be to the ballast from the conveyor belt to be able to discharge into the discharge hopper. For another, through a change the angular position of the band or bands created a gap between the bands which are alike allows a ballast discharge. Furthermore, the cross section of the discharge hopper can be variably selected. Thus, a targeted discharge of the ballast in the track is possible, too in the middle between the rails. This is an unloading option for track ballast created, which without additional Conveyor belts one targeted discharge into the track grid allows. The unloading funnels can also be used with adjustable opening and closing flaps be equipped to allow a dosage of the ballast in the track to enable. The operation the opening and closing flaps can be done electrically or hydraulically. The controller can do this either over Cable or by radio control done.

The Training according to claim 12 beats one more way for unloading the material in the car before (not a handover to the next Dare). The corresponding removal conveyor belt is in the wall integrated or mounted on the car. This means that no superior separate transfer belt is required. Rather, according to the training an optional Tape can be placed to discharge the material. This Removal conveyor belt can be attached to the respective unloading vehicle. When unloading the car becomes the removal conveyor on the carriage by means of a feeder move in front of the head of the car. After that, the handover from the conveyor belt the front wall directly on the adapted unloading tape done. From here from the discharge takes place on the appropriate intermediate storage or another desired Location, such as a railway carriage in the neighboring track. If necessary the adapted unloading belt can be telescoped and / or pivoted be to allow a pinpoint control of the discharge point.

A further training suggests according to claim 13 ago that the Car is heated. By the car is heated, this provides especially in winter months is a big advantage. Because in these In winter months it is often necessary to deice the gravel to allow a discharge of the frozen cargo. Thus, a heating of the ballast can be done on site in the car.

The technical realization provides according to the training to complete 14 before that the Installation of a heater in the walls or in the ground, possibly even in the conveyor belts.

1 shows one on a track 1 moveable motorcade of three carriages 2 , Each of the three cars 2 is identical.

Every car 2 has two side walls 3 as well as two end walls 4 on. On the ground 5 of the carriage 2 There is a longitudinally extending bottom conveyor belt 6 , To this floor conveyor 6 Close conveyor belts 7 on which in the end walls 4 are integrated.

The floor 5 of the carriage 2 has an openable and closable discharge opening 8th on. For this purpose, the bottom conveyor belt 6 divided into two, ie it is located on both sides of the discharge 8th ,

1c shows still a modification in that of the discharge opening 8th transverse unloading conveyor belts 9 depart.

The operation is as follows:
In 2a and 2 B is indicated by the arrow, the transport direction of the material, which of cars 2 to dare 2 the motorcade should be transported. For this purpose, the two cars 2 adjacent end walls 4 with their conveyor belts 7 pivoted down so that the discharge end of the conveyor belt 7 of the donating car 2 above the adjacent conveyor belt 7 of the next car 2 lies. The end walls 4 have sector-like sidewall elements 10 on which in continuation of the sidewalls 4 Close the side panels so that no material can fall out laterally.

If the transport direction of the material in the opposite direction, as in the 3a and 3b is shown, the end walls 4 with their conveyor belts 7 pivoted accordingly, so that in turn a cascade-like arrangement of the conveyor belts 7 is realized.

The variant in 4 shows that the conveyor belts 7 are telescopic. It is shown that different overhang lengths (levels 2 and 3) can be set.

The variant in 5a and 5b shows that the two end walls 4 (In the drawings, this is only for the one, right front wall 4 shown) in a horizontal end position can be pivoted down. This has the advantage that the car 2 Can be filled at ground level without leaving the walls of the car 2 must be bridged. The supply of the material takes place in 5a and 5b from the right. The thus set car 2 serves as a filling device for the other cars not shown in the drawing 2 further left.

6 shows the possibility of how the discharge opening 8th can be equipped with material by the bands 6 . 7 are displaceable and / or pivotable. By adjusting the bands accordingly 6 . 7 can the material of the discharge opening 8th be supplied. By a corresponding position of the bands 6 . 7 but it is also possible that the discharge 8th is bridged.

7 shows a similar variant as already in 6 is shown. Here, however, are in the ground 5 still unloading funnel 11 for ballasting the track. Again, it is indicated that the bands 6 . 7 can be moved and / or pivoted so that the discharge hopper 11 can be equipped with the ballast or that these are bypassed.

The variant in 8a to 8c shows a removal conveyor 12 , This is in the upper area of the car 2 arranged.

8a shows the rest position of this removal conveyor belt 12 in an inwardly shifted section of the car 2 , Once a removal of the car 2 material to be transported, the removal conveyor is moved forward, as in 8b is shown. The discharge end of the corresponding conveyor belt 7 the front wall 4 lies above the actual removal conveyor belt 12 , which protrudes transversely to the track direction.

9 finally shows a car 2 , which with heating elements 13 Is provided. These heating elements 13 can be in the area of the side walls 3 , in the area of the end walls, possibly even in the bands 6 . 7 are located. With these heating elements, it is possible to heat the material. This eliminates the need for de-icing to allow discharge of the frozen material.
