Description
The present invention relates to a support which allows a Eurobalise to be fixed to a sleeper.
The invention relates also to a system for fixing the Eurobalise to the sleeper, which system comprises such a support.
Document EP 2 386 457 describes a support for fixing a Eurobalise. A Eurobalise is a piece of railway equipment which is placed between the two rails in order to transmit information to the railway vehicles travelling on the track. Depending on their type, Eurobalises transmit invariable information, for example a position, or information which may vary over time, for example the state of a signal lamp or of a signal box. Transmission is carried out by a variable magnetic field.
However, there are many mounting configurations for a Eurobalise. These configurations depend especially on the nature of the sleepers, on the track height, and on specificities of the Eurobalise. There is therefore a large number of different fixing systems.
An object of the invention is to solve all or some of the above disadvantages, that is to say in particular to simplify the fixing systems.
To that end, the invention relates to a support for fixing a Eurobalise to a sleeper, the support having a stackable form, the support, and optionally one or more other supports which are structurally identical with said support and are stacked on said support, being intended to be placed between the Eurobalise and the sleeper in a fixing direction in order to fix the Eurobalise at a predetermined height relative to the sleeper, said support having a first face having reinforcing ribs and receivers defined laterally at least in part by the reinforcing ribs.
According to particular embodiments, the support has one or more of the following features, taken in isolation or in any technically possible combinations: - the support has a largest dimension and is adapted to extend between two planes which are perpendicular to the fixing direction, the two planes having between them a gap which is less than or equal to 1/5 of the largest dimension (Dmax); - the support comprises a second face, opposite the first face in the fixing direction, having protuberances adapted to fit into the receivers of one of the other supports in the fixing direction; - the support comprises a flat plate, the ribs and the protuberances projecting from the plate in the fixing direction; - at least one of the receivers has at least one opening which is to permit the passage of a fixing member for fixing the Eurobalise to the sleeper in the fixing direction or to receive an insert, a fixing member for fixing the Eurobalise to the support being intended to be fixed to the insert; - at least one other of the receivers has at least one opening which is to permit the passage of a fixing member for fixing the support to the sleeper in the fixing direction or to receive an insert, a fixing member for fixing the support to the sleeper being intended to be fixed to the insert; and - at least one of the receivers has at least one orifice adapted to permit the removal, through the support, of water retained in said receiver.
The invention relates also to a system for fixing a Eurobalise to a sleeper, comprising at least two supports as described above.
According to particular embodiments, the system has one or more of the following features, taken in isolation or in any technically possible combinations: - the system further comprises at least two fixing members for fixing the Eurobalise to the sleeper in the fixing direction, the two fixing members passing through the two supports or being fixed to inserts belonging to the two supports; and - the system further comprises at least two fixing members adapted to fix the two supports to the sleeper.
The invention will be better understood from reading the following description, which is given solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 is a view, in section along a vertical plane parallel to a sleeper, of a fixing system according to the invention which is adapted to fix a Eurobalise to the sleeper, - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the first face of one of the fixing supports present in the fixing system shown in Figure 1, and - Figure 3 is a perspective view of the second face of the fixing support shown in Figures 1 and 2.
With reference to Figure 1, a system 1 for fixing a Eurobalise 5 to a sleeper 10 is described.
The system 1 comprises four supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B for fixing the Eurobalise 5 to the sleeper 10. The system 1 further comprises two inserts 22, 24 which are received in drilled holes 26, 28 formed in the sleeper 10 in a fixing direction D. The system 1 also comprises two screws 30, 32 which are screwed into the inserts 22, 24, through the Eurobalise 5 and on the one hand the supports 15A, 15B and on the other hand the supports 20A, 20B.
The sleeper 10 extends in a transverse direction T, for example perpendicular to the fixing direction D. A longitudinal direction L of a railway track (not shown) to which the sleeper 10 belongs is also defined. The longitudinal direction L is, for example, substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction T and to the fixing direction D.
The sleeper 10 is made of concrete, for example.
According to a first variant which is not shown, the sleeper 10 is made of metal. In this case, the inserts 22, 24 are optional, the screws 30, 32 then advantageously being screwed directly into the sleeper 10.
According to a second variant which is not shown, the sleeper 10 is made of wood.
The shape of the Eurobalise 5 is generally planar, for example substantially parallelepipedal, advantageously substantially perpendicular to the fixing direction D. The Eurobalise 5 advantageously has two protuberances 34, 36 which project downwards in the fixing direction D and rest on the supports 15A, 20A. The Eurobalise 5 also comprises two openings 38, 40, advantageously situated in the protuberances 34, 36, in which the screws 30, 32 are engaged.
The openings 38, 40 are substantially transversely aligned.
The supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B are structurally analogous to one another and are stackable, that is to say they can be stacked one on top of the other in the fixing direction D. Thus, in the example shown, the support 15A is stacked on the support 15B, and the support 20A is stacked on the support 20B.
Advantageously, each support has a shape adapted to prevent the support from being displaced in any of the radial directions relative to the fixing direction D with respect to the other supports of the same stack. Thus, for example, the support 15A cannot be displaced in translation relative to the support 15B in any direction perpendicular to the fixing direction D, even in the absence of the screw 30.
Each of the supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B is advantageously situated inside the Eurobalise 5 in projection in the fixing direction D. In other words, the supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B do not protrude laterally from the Eurobalise 5.
Since the supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B are analogous, only the support 15A will be described hereinbelow with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
The support 15A is made of composite material, for example, advantageously of glass fibre reinforced polyester. The support 15A is made of a material which does not interfere with the operation of the balise and is advantageously obtained by moulding, SMC compression or the like.
The support 15A has a generally planar form extending, for example, perpendicularly to the fixing direction D. For example, the support 15A has a largest dimension Dmax (Figure 2) and extends between two planes P1, P2 (Figure 1) which are perpendicular to the fixing direction D and have between them a gap E, preferably less than or equal to 1/5 of the largest dimension (Dmax).
The support 15A comprises a first face 42 (Figure 2) and a second face 44 (Figure 3) which is opposite the first face in the fixing direction D.
The first face 42 has reinforcing ribs 46 and receivers 48, 50, 52, 54 defined laterally (relative to the fixing direction D) at least in part by the ribs 46.
The receivers 48, 50, 52 are closed laterally, while the receiver 54 is semi-open laterally.
Each of the receivers 48, 52, 54 comprises an opening 56 which is adapted to permit the passage of a fixing member (not shown) analogous to the screw 30. In the example shown, the screw 30 passes through the opening 56 of the receiver 54.
In a variant, all or some of the openings 56 receive inserts 58 as shown in Figure 2, but which are not present in the system 1 shown in Figure 1.
The inserts 58 are to serve as anchoring points for a fixing member (not shown) for fixing the Eurobalise 5 to the support 15A. Thus, in a variant, the screws 30, 32 are screwed into such inserts 58 instead of being screwed in the region of the sleeper 10.
Furthermore, the receivers 50 and 54 have openings 60 which are to permit the optional passage of fixing members (not shown) for fixing the support 15A to the sleeper 10 in the fixing direction D, in accordance with particular embodiments of the system 1.
In a variant, the openings 60 receive inserts (not shown) which are analogous to the inserts 58 and are to receive fixing members (not shown) for fixing the support 15A to the sleeper 10.
Finally, the receiver 50 comprises an orifice 62 adapted to permit the removal, through the support 15A, of water retained in the receiver 50.
The second face 44 has a form substantially complementary to that of the first face 42. The second face 44 comprises protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74 adapted to be received in the receivers 48, 50, 52, 54 of the support 15B. The protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74 are separated by grooves 76 which are substantially complementary to the ribs 46.
The openings 56, 60 and the orifice 62 open into the protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74, respectively.
In the example shown, the ribs 46 and the protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74 project from a plate 76 substantially perpendicular to the fixing direction D.
The base of the grooves 76 is advantageously flat, and the ribs 46 have a flattened top, complementary to the base.
Likewise, the receivers 48, 50, 52, 54 have a substantially flat base, and the protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74 have a complementary flattened top.
The mounting and the operation of the system 1 will now be described.
The drilled holes 26 and 28 are first produced in the sleeper 10. The inserts 22, 24 are then introduced into the drilled holes 26, 28.
The supports 15A, 15B are then stacked on the sleeper 10 so that the opening 56 is aligned with the drilled hole 26 in the fixing direction D. The supports 20A, 20B are fitted above the drilled hole 28 in an analogous manner.
Finally, the Eurobalise 5 is disposed above the supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B so that the openings 38, 40 are aligned with the drilled holes 26, 28. The protuberances 34, 36 rest on the base of the receiver 54 of the supports 15A, 20A.
The Eurobalise 5 is advantageously also supported on some of the ribs 46 of the supports 15A, 20A.
The protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74 of the supports 15A and 20A rest on the base of the receivers 48, 50, 52, 54 of the supports 15B and 20B. The ribs 46 of the supports 15B, 20B are engaged in the grooves 76 of the supports 15A, 20A.
The supports 15B and 20B rest directly on the sleeper 10 by their protuberances 68, 70, 72, 74.
The screws 30, 32 are introduced as shown in Figure 1 and screwed into the inserts 22, 24.
In a variant, it is possible to use fewer supports than shown in Figure 1 or to stack more supports so as to position the Eurobalise 5 at a predetermined distance from the sleeper 10 in the fixing direction D.
According to a variant which is not shown, the Eurobalise 5 is fixed to the sleeper 10 by screws analogous to the screws 30, 32 passing through the openings 56 of the receivers 48 and/or 52.
According to particular embodiments (not shown), some of the fixing screws of the Eurobalise 5 are screwed not in the region of the sleeper 10 but into one or more of the inserts 58 (Figure 2) of one or more of the supports 15A, 15B, 20A, 20B. In this case, at least one of the stacked supports, for example the supports 15B, 20B, is fixed to the sleeper 10 by a fixing member, such as a screw, through one or more of the openings 60 of one or more of the receivers 50 and 54.
It will be appreciated that there is thus a multitude of ways of fixing the Eurobalise 5 to the sleeper 10 or one of the supports, and of fixing the supports to one another and/or to the sleeper.
The support 15A is "universal" in the sense that it can be adapted to different types of sleeper 10. Moreover, by stacking the supports, it is possible to adjust the fixing height of the Eurobalise 5. Furthermore, there are numerous fixing possibilities.
By virtue of the features described above, the system 1 is simplified since it is based on the use of a universal support, while still being adaptable to different types of sleeper and Eurobalise.
