Description

Inclined elevator for rail vehicles. In the main patent 365 7g2 is a Inclined elevator for track vehicles described, in which the vehicles through towing trolleys running on the elevator tracks are transported. There are certain Training of the track systems in the substation specified in order to enable the train change, which results from the extension of the empty trains and the retraction of the full trains to be able to.

It has now been shown that in the track systems described so far the substation must have a relatively great length. But you can Length of the substation due to the track system described below shorten, which is very important for the dismantling of the opencast mines, for example.

According to the invention, the substation is provided with a central feeder track provided, which is inserted into a cut between the elevator tracks and blunt lets end. On the one hand, this arrangement results in an essential one Shortening of the track length in the horizontal plane for the substation. Above all but can also change the train perform faster than this was the case with the previously known arrangement.

In the arrangement of the tracks and track changes described in the main patent the quickest and easiest way to change trains is to use drove the execution through a track change from the feeder track to the elevator track, on which the empty train was still standing after the towing car was withdrawn from the empty train was. By relocating the machine, which stood between empty and closed, was the locomotive is hung on the empty train, whereupon the empty train can be stopped by a special Pulling the switch out of the elevator track.

In the further development of the invention it has been shown; that he while maintaining the basic principle the train change in a faster way than before can accomplish. For this purpose, the feeder track is changed by special track changes connected to the elevator tracks. These track changes run in the direction of the The ends of the elevator tracks, on which the towing car stands, and form therefore a hairpin for the execution standing on the dead end.

Such a system is shown in the drawing.

Fig.z shows the substation of the inclined elevator in a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 and 3 in top view with the different positions of the trains.

The feeder track e is arranged between the elevator tracks a, which ends in an incision el, the length of which corresponds to a train length. The elevator tracks are connected to the feeder track by the track change g, through which the Empty trains 1 get onto the feeder track. Furthermore, the. Track change h intended, which lead from the incision to the elevator tracks. These track changes are in progress in the direction. to the ends of the elevator tracks and serve to enforce v of to convey the feeder track to the elevator tracks. The train change in the substation now proceeds according to the following procedure The execution is carried out by the locomotive p on the feeder track e into the incision e1. The locomotive will then uncoupled. The empty train L comes down on one elevator track, for example. He is held for a moment by the well-known track brake y, while the towing wagon continues to run over the platform change g (Fig. 2) and in reaches its end position. If he has passed the switch w, this is turned over, the track brake y released, and the empty train 1, which is still on the downhill section, runs through the track change g to the feeder track. He then stays in front of the first track change, i.e. standing outside the substation (Fig. 3). Now comes across the locomotive p from the execution, which by the track change h on the elevator track a arrives and is caught by the towing vehicle, so that the execution at When the winder starts up, it starts moving immediately - The locomotive is running through the feed track e back to the empty train and now pushes it to the Excavator.

This mode of operation has considerable advantages over the previous one.

First, the empty movement of the towing car falls until the completion continued, which remained behind the first track change in the previous mode of operation had to, which results in a smooth start of the inclined elevator.

Secondly, there is no need to move the empty train to the hairpin.

Third, the locomotive only runs on the feeder track and comes no longer on the elevator tracks, which simplifies the contact wire arrangement.

Fourth, the locomotive is always at the same end of the execution and the empty haul, and the excavators do not need to be repositioned again of the locomotive.

Claims (2)

PATENT CLAIMS: x. Inclined elevator for track vehicles according to patent 365 792, characterized in that the supply track lying between the elevator tracks ends butt in an incision in the slopes of the inclined elevator and is connected to the elevator tracks by changing tracks, which run towards the ends of the elevator tracks. 2. Procedure for changing trains at the substation of the inclined elevator according to claim z, wherein the downhill section upcoming empty train is held up by a track brake, characterized in that that after separating the towing car from the train, the track brake in a known manner is released, so that the empty train over the track change (g). into the feeder track (e) - runs, whereupon the train decoupled from the locomotive (p) via the track change (h) is pushed into the elevator track, where it runs to the passenger car, while the locomotive drives through the feeder track (s) in front of the empty train.
