Description

Device for moving and controlling freight wagons with their own for the maneuvering rated drive motor All previously known methods for Moving or braking of freight wagons consistently require facilities that during add or destroy the energy from outside the movement.

These are, for example, locomotives in driving and shunting operations, Drainage mountains, track conveyor systems with cable pulls or track brakes. Furthermore is a method for maneuvering rail vehicles known (DOS 1 53o3ö5), 'according to the self-propelled electromotive drives arranged on the vehicles, which are only used for the shunting operations are dimensioned, laid along the rail of the shunting system and busbars that are isolated from one another in sections are fed. From one Central can be connected to the individual busbar sections via a power supply system Voltages can be switched which are adapted to the maneuvering movement required there are.

The disadvantage of all of these methods is that either a locomotive is needed or that the car can only be moved or braked where corresponding quite complex installations are built into the track system. The invention is based on the object of eliminating these disadvantages. This task is achieved according to the invention in that on each carriage for feeding the engine an.Energiespeicher (accumulator) is arranged during shunting operation, which during the journey of the wagon in the train set either via lines fed by the locomotive or can be charged by the drive motor working as a generator and that furthermore a control unit is provided for the motor, which is operated by a manual switch or by a receiver can be controlled via the rails or line cables Radio or punctiform influencing devices Control commands are transferable for the engine. This allows cars equipped according to the invention in shunting operations or in traffic in siding, in industrial tracks for Loading and unloading or for all train formation and train separation tasks on your own Force can be moved at the desired speed and in the specified direction.

In an embodiment of the invention, the transferable switching commands automatically made dependent on the reports from the track monitoring devices will. It is also useful to equip the vehicle with devices for measuring the Car speed of impact forces and / or the power consumption of the drive motor and through this the drive if adjustable limit values are exceeded switch off.

It can also be advantageous to provide an odometer that switches off the drive when the carriage travels a preset distance Has.

Further useful additions to the invention emerge from the description of the drawing below.

In the drawing: FIG. 1 shows schematically the equipment of a car and FIG. 2 shows track equipment for triggering and transmitting control commands the carriage devices.

In Fig. 1, the axis A of the carriage via the transmission G and the Clutch E are driven by the engine N. The engine is used as an energy source E provided accumulators battery fed via the control unit St, which both by hand switch H as well as by the receiver F for control commands transmitted from the track is actuatable. If the car drives in a train, the battery can be operated with a generator of the motor can be loaded via the controller R. Especially with electrically operated Railways and wagons with a central buffer coupling can also charge the battery from the Locomotive from by a charger P via a line operated by the train take place.

The control unit St is expediently at least for the following Switching commands designed: switching on and off, forward and reverse travel, slow and fast travel.

The vehicle equipment described so far is preferably suitable for the shunting operation in the track system shown schematically in Figure 2 between Entry track 0 and direction track 5 of a marshalling yard without a waste mountain.

The track system is in monitoring sections 1 to 4 with associated Track monitoring device U1 to U4 divided.

In Sections 2 and 4 a switch is indicated. With the one shown For example, axle counters are assumed for track monitoring, which are controlled by rail contacts be controlled at the beginning and end of each track section. There is one per section Line cables L1 to L4 with the associated transmitter Ti to T4 arranged to be attached to the car W, which is equipped with a drive motor and remotely controllable car unit according to FIG are to be able to transmit switching commands. Each transmitter is preceded by a switch the when a car is moving in the direction of the arrow from the track monitoring device of the track section ahead is controllable and the control input of the transmitter if the section ahead is free with line VS and if the section ahead is occupied Section connects to the line VL. This causes the senders of the sections to transmit 1, 3 and 4, the preceding section of which is free, automatically issue the switching command "Schnellfahrt", on the other hand, the transmitter of section 2, its preceding section 3 is busy, the switching command "Slow travel. Additional lines to trigger the other switching commands mentioned above and to optionally control the switches in the corresponding position from the control center Z, e.g. a signal box, are not shown.

In a shunting facility, the tracks of which are equipped according to Figure 2, The wagons can use their own power in the closest possible sequence and with the maximum permissible Speed through the turnout zone without the risk of mutual Hauling consists.

It can be useful behind the switch zone in the direction tracks be, an additional switching command via a line line, not shown for an even slower speed than slow travel to transmit so a The wagons come into contact with the coupling without permissible knocking.

In the same way as via a line per section can control commands in systems with short track circuits for track monitoring can also be transmitted via the rails to the carriage. It is also possible independently the type of track monitoring, the control commands at the beginning of a track section to be transmitted through point-like influencing devices. Furthermore can it can be useful, especially in the case of parking or industrial tracks with little traffic, the control commands by radio, e.g.

a radio portable by the shunting staff.

When equipping the car with the devices shown in Figure 1 B, S and V can be achieved that self-propulsion and energy storage of a car can only be switched on for as long as is necessary for shunting operations.

The odometer S can after driving through a in the vehicle unit a switch-off command for the motor can be triggered. Of the The route can be carried out in the on-board unit by hand or through the to the vehicle from a local Control commands transmitted to the control unit can be preset. The control commands for The distance to be traveled through with motor power can be set in the control center Z, for example, by a computer from messages about the current filling level of the direction track intended for the wagon concerned.

In Figure 2, it is assumed, for example, that the control command for Presetting of the route when the wagon drives into the direction track 5 from the control center Z via the track unit T5 into a path memory of the car unit can be transferred. The stored value can then be used in a known manner with the from odometer since entering the Track-measured route compared and trigger the shutdown command if they match.

But it is also possible, e.g. when shunting in sidings, to communicate the route to the shunting staff, who then manually store the route memory adjusts.

The speedometer V can be used to control the engine when a preset upper limit that is permitted for shunting is exceeded Switch off limit speed and when falling below a lower limit speed to be switched on again if the preset route has not yet been passed. This ensures that the car on the one hand not with the maneuvering drives too high and on the other hand not before driving through of the preset path comes to a standstill.

The shock detector B is used to switch off the engine in the event of intermittent acceleration of the car on an obstacle.

This will overload the motor and the energy store Avoided if, for example, a route that is too long is preset in the route memory is so that the car with the engine switched on is on another in the same direction track standing wagon or a buffer stop runs into a siding.

To ensure that the drive intended for maneuvering is spared when driving the car in a train, the following measures are also necessary practical: transmission G and clutch K can be controlled by shift commands, which are carried out by Control commands transmitted by the locomotive or the line in the control unit St are triggered.

But it is also possible through the speedometer V at Exceeding a preset speed that is greater than that for switch off the maneuvering speed, clutch or gearbox. Perner can the speedometer while driving the car in Train set, with the motor switched to generator mode, one in the gearbox Switch on another gear stage that is adapted to the respective driving speed is.
