Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine zwangsgeführte Schienenbahn für den Untertagebetrieb nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a positively driven rail track for underground operation according to the preamble of claim 1.

Diese Schienenbahnen unterscheiden sich durch ihre Entgleisungssicherheit von den ebenfalls unter Tage eingesetzten Schienenstandbahnen. Zwangsgeführte Schienenbahnen des Untertagebetriebes können auch als Hängebahnen, insbesondere als Einschienenhängebahnen ausgebildet sein. Sie unterscheiden sich von den dem Übertagebetrieb eingesetzten Hängebahnen durch die auf die Anforderungen des Untertagebetriebes zugeschnittene Profilform der Schiene und deren Aufhängungen am Grubenausbau, sowie durch die Schienenverbindungen, welche den Anschluß an die zur Aufhängung dienenden Ketten ermöglichen und außerdem in zwei Ebenen eine Abwinkelung aneinander anschließender Schienen zulassen.These rail tracks differ in their derailment safety from the rail tracks also used underground. Forcibly guided railways of underground operations can also be designed as overhead monorails, in particular as monorail overhead monorails. They differ from the overhead monorails used by the underground requirements company-tailored profile shape of the rail and its suspensions on the pit extension, as well as through the rail connections, which allow connection to the chains used for suspension and also allow bending of adjacent rails in two levels.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer vorbekannten zwangsgeführten Schienenbahn dieser Art (DE-OS 26 09 929), bei der die Züge von Lokomotiven angetrieben werden. Dazu unterscheidet sich diese Bahn von anderen bekannten Ausführungsformen solcher zwangsgeführter Schienenbahnen des Untertagebetriebes, bei denen die Züge von einem in beiden Richtungen umlaufenden und meist von einem Haspel angetriebenen Seiltrieb mit Anschluß an eine der Laufkatzen über einen Zugseilarm angetrieben werden. Bei einem Lokomotivantrieb benutzt man in der Regel dieselhydraulische Antriebe. Zur Übertragung der Antriebsenergie wird bei der als bekannt vorausgesetzten zwangsgeführten Einschienenbahn der formschlüssige Antrieb mit einem kraftschlüssigen Reibradantrieb kombiniert. Deswegen braucht das Ritzel der Lokomotive nur auf entsprechenden Gefällestrecken eingespurt zu werden. Daneben kommen jedoch auch Ausführungen in Betracht, welche ausschließlich mit eingespurtem Ritzel betrieben werden.The invention is based on a previously known positively driven railroad of this type (DE-OS 26 09 929), in which the trains are driven by locomotives. In addition, this train differs from other known embodiments of such positively guided underground railroads, in which the trains are driven by a cable drive rotating in both directions and usually driven by a reel with connection to one of the trolleys via a pull cable arm. In a locomotive drive, diesel-hydraulic drives are generally used. To transmit the drive energy, the positively guided monorail, which is known as a requirement, combines the positive drive with a non-positive friction wheel drive. Therefore, the pinion of the locomotive only needs to be engaged on the corresponding downhill gradients. In addition, however, designs are also considered which are operated exclusively with the pinion engaged.

Bei der vorbekannten Bahn werden die Triebglieder von Zahnstangenabschnitten gebildet, die an ihren Enden mit Hilfe von Verbindungsgelenken derart aneinander angeschlossen sind, daß sich keine Teilungsfehler bei Abwinkelungen in vertikaler Ebene ergeben. Die Zahnstangen sind ihrerseits begrenzt verschieblich gegenüber den ihnen zugeordneten Schienen des Fahrgleises an diesem angebracht. Deswegen müssen die Zahnstangen ihrerseits festgelegt, bei Einschienenbahnen z.B. am Grubenausbau aufgehängt werden. Das setzt aus praktischen Gründen voraus, daß die Zahnstangen in der Regel als sogenannte Leiterzahnstangen ausgeführt werden.In the case of the previously known track, the drive links are formed by rack sections which are connected to one another at their ends with the aid of connecting joints in such a way that there are no division errors in the event of bends in the vertical plane. The racks, for their part, can only be displaced to a limited extent associated rails of the track attached to this. For this reason, the racks must be fixed on their part, for example, in the case of monorails, they must be hung on the mine. For practical reasons, this presupposes that the racks are usually designed as so-called ladder racks.

Einerseits sind solche Zahnstangen aus vielen Einzelteilen aufgebaut und daher technisch außerordentlich komplizierte Gebilde-von erheblichem Gewicht. Andererseits sind bei einfacher Ausbildung der Verbindungsgelenke die aus solchen Zahnstangen zusammengesetzten Triebglieder nur innerhalb des konstruktiv vorgegebenen Spieles in außerhalb der Gelenkachse liegenden Richtungen abwinkelbar, so daß die Bahn ein nur im begrenzten Umfange raumgelenkiges Gleis besitzt. Macht man aber die Raumgelenkigkeit zu groß, dann ergeben sich an den Enden der Zahnstangen Teilungsfehler, die zu einem unruhigen Lauf der Ritzel und zu Beschädigungen an den formschlüssigen Teilen der Bahn führen können.On the one hand, such racks are made up of many individual parts and are therefore technically extremely complex structures - of considerable weight. On the other hand, with a simple design of the connecting joints, the drive links composed of such toothed racks can only be angled within the constructively predetermined play in directions lying outside the joint axis, so that the track has a space-articulated track only to a limited extent. However, if you make the articulation too large, there will be division errors at the ends of the racks, which can lead to restless running of the pinions and damage to the form-fitting parts of the track.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein technisch vergleichsweise aufgebautes Triebglied so mit den zwangsgeführten Schienenbahnen des Untertagebetriebes zu kombinieren, daß eine der Raumgelenkigkeit des Fahrgleises der Bahn entsprechende Abwinkelbarkeit des Triebgliedes erreichbar ist.The invention is based on the object of combining a technically comparatively constructed drive member with the positively driven rail tracks of underground operations in such a way that the drive member can be angled to match the spatial flexibility of the track of the train.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Die Rundgliederkette ist ein technisch verhältnismäßig einfach aufgebautes Gebilde von allseitiger Abwinkelbarkeit mit einer bei Zugbelastung für Kettenräder ausreichend genauen Teilung. Für den formschlüssigen Eingriff benötigt man auch nur jedes zweite Kettenglied, so daß nur diese Kettenglieder geführt und so abgestützt werden müssen, daß die Reaktionskräfte des Bahnantriebes im Kettenkanal abgetragen werden. Dadurch,daß man die Enden der Rundgliederkette festlegt, entlastet man die raumgelenkigen Anschlüsse der Gleisabschnitte und verhindert dadurch, daß insbesondere bei den Einschienenhängebahnen Überlastungen auftreten. Da sich andererseits die Rundgliederkette insbesondere bei engen Kurvenradien in die Sehne der Kurve einzustellen versucht, kann man diese Kräfte mit entsprechenden Widerlagern abfangen, auf denen. sich das Fahrgleis bzw. der mit ihm verbundene Kettenkanal abstützt.The round link chain is technically proportionate simply constructed structure with all-round bendability with a pitch that is sufficiently precise for tensile loads for chain wheels. For the positive engagement, only every second chain link is required, so that only these chain links have to be guided and supported in such a way that the reaction forces of the rail drive are removed in the chain channel. By fixing the ends of the round link chain, one relieves the articulated connections of the track sections and thereby prevents overloads occurring in particular on the monorails. On the other hand, since the round link chain tries to adjust itself into the chord of the curve, especially with tight curve radii, these forces can be intercepted with appropriate abutments on which. the track or the chain channel connected to it is supported.

Gegenüber den bislang benutzten Leiterzahnstangen ergibt sich eine von dem Kettenkanal gebildete, über die gesamte Länge jeder Schiene reichende Führung, die an der Schiene befestigt ist. Dadurch kann auf eine besondere Aufhängung des Triebgliedes verzichtet werden.Compared to the previously used conductor racks, there is a guide, which is formed by the chain channel and extends over the entire length of each rail and is fastened to the rail. This makes it possible to dispense with a special suspension of the drive member.

Die in Fig. 1 wiedergegebene Einschienenhängebahn hat ein Fahrgleis 1 aus einzelnen Schienenabschnitten 2, die raumgelenkig miteinander verbunden und beispielsweise am Grubenausbau aufgehängt sind. Die Hängeschiene 2 hat ein Spezialprofil mit verstärkten Flanschen 3 bzw. 4; die nicht dargestellten Laufkatzen der Bahn sind als Unterflanschläufer ausgebildet. Ihre Rollen wälzen sich daher auf den Innenflanken des Flansches 3 ab.The monorail monorail shown in FIG. 1 has a track 1 made up of individual rail sections 2, which are articulated to one another and are suspended, for example, from the pit extension. The hanging rail 2 has a special profile with reinforced flanges 3 and 4; the trolleys, not shown, of the web are designed as bottom flange sliders. Your roles therefore roll on the inner flanks of the flange 3.

Auf der Oberseite 5 des Oberflansches 4 sind in Abständen Traversen 6 befestigt, beispielsweise angeschweißt. Die Traversen verbinden je einen Kettenkanal 7 bzw. 7' formschlüssig miteinander. Gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 ist jeder Kettenkanal als Hohlprofil ausgebildet. Der Umriß des Innenquerschnittes ist so ausgeführt, daß sich eine Führung für jedes zweite, gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel jedes senkrecht stehende Kettenglied 8 einer Rundgliederkette ergibt, deren Zwischenglieder 9 gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel in entsprechenden Taschen eines Zahnrades 10 liegen, das mit seinen Zähnen 11 zwischen die parallelen Schenkel 12, 14 der Kettenglieder 8 eingreift. Das Zahnrad 10 bildet zusammen mit einer Scheibe 15 ein Kettenrad 16, welches die Antriebsenergie einer auf Laufkatzen fahrenden Lokomotive überträgt.Traverses 6 are fastened, for example welded, at intervals on the top side 5 of the upper flange 4. The cross members each connect a chain channel 7 or 7 'to one another in a form-fitting manner. According to the embodiment of FIG. 1, each chain channel is designed as a hollow profile. The outline of the inner cross section is designed so that there is a guide for every second, according to the Embodiment of each vertical chain link 8 of a round link chain results, the intermediate links 9 according to the embodiment are in corresponding pockets of a gear 10 which engages with its teeth 11 between the parallel legs 12, 14 of the chain links 8. The gear 10 forms, together with a disc 15, a chain wheel 16, which transmits the drive energy of a locomotive running on trolleys.

Der Innenquerschnitt der Kettenkanäle 7, 7', die in ihren Einzelheiten miteinander übereinstimmen, wird von zwei parallelen Flanken 19, 20 je einer dem Kettenstahl der Kettenglieder 8 angepaßten viereckigen Ausnehmung 21, 21' und einer dazu rechtwinklig angeordneten weiteren viereckigen Ausnehmung 22 gebildet, auf derem Boden 23 die Zwischenglieder 9 abgestützt sein können. Es sind jedoch auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, bei denen die Kettenglieder 9 über dem Boden angeordnet sind. Die von den parallelen Flanken 19, 20 begrenzte Öffnung 24, 25 jedes Kettenkanals gestattet den Eingriff der formschlüssigen Teile der Kettenräder 16. Diese Öffnungen sind gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der parallel zueinander verlegten Kettenkanäle 7, 7' angebracht. Daher werden die Reaktionskräfte jedes Kettenrades 16, welche die Kettenräder aus dem formschlüssigen Eingriff mit den von den Ketten 27, 28 gebildeten beiden Triebgliedern auszuspuren bestrebt sind, jeweils von dem gegenüberliegenden Kettenrad übernommen. Besondere Gegenhalter können daher entfallen.The inner cross-section of the chain channels 7, 7 ', which correspond in their details to one another, is formed by two parallel flanks 19, 20 each having a square recess 21, 21' adapted to the chain steel of the chain links 8 and a further square recess 22 arranged at right angles thereto whose bottom 23, the intermediate members 9 can be supported. However, embodiments are also conceivable in which the chain links 9 are arranged above the floor. The opening 24, 25 of each chain channel delimited by the parallel flanks 19, 20 allows the positive parts of the chain wheels 16 to engage. According to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, these openings are provided on opposite sides of the chain channels 7, 7 'laid parallel to one another. Therefore, the reaction forces of each sprocket 16, which the sprockets strive to trace out of the positive engagement with the two drive links formed by the chains 27, 28, are each taken over by the opposite sprocket. Special counterholders can therefore be omitted.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 2 ist auf dem Unterflansch 3 der Fahrschiene 1 und zwar auf dessen Unterseite 30 ein Kettenkanal 31 so befestigt, daß seine Öffnung 32 unten liegt. Die Bahn besitzt nur an ihrer Unterseite eines oder mehrere Kettenräder 33. In diesem Fall werden die Reaktionskräfte der Kettenräder 33 von den sich auf den Flanken 34, 35 abwälzenden Laufrädern der als Unterflanschläufer ausgebildeten Lokomotive abgestützt.In the embodiment of FIG. 2, a chain channel 31 is fastened on the lower flange 3 of the travel rail 1, specifically on its underside 30, so that its opening 32 is at the bottom. The track has only one or more sprockets 33 on its underside. In this case, the reaction forces of the sprockets 33 are supported by the running wheels of the locomotive designed as lower flange sliders which roll on the flanks 34, 35.

Bei der Darstellung der Fig. 3 handelt es sich um eine zwangsgeführte Schienenflurbahn des Untertagebetriebes, deren Fahrgleis aus zwei parallel verlegten, in Kurven gegebenenfalls gekrümmten Schienen 40, 41 besteht und allgemein mit 42 bezeichnet ist. Die Schienen 40, 41 sind in Abständen mit Schwellen 43 zum Gleis 42 verbunden. Sie bestehen aus U-Profilen, die Rücken an Rücken angeordnet sind, wobei die Profilstege 44 senkrecht stehen und die Bahn zwischen den Flanschen 45, 45' zwangsgeführt ist. Der Kettenkanal 49 besteht seinerseits aus Profilabschnitten 46, die mit einer flachen Unterseite 47 auf den Schwellen 43 befestigt sind. Die Öffnung 48 ist nach oben orientiert, so daß das in der Mitte der Bahn laufende Kettenrad 16 von oben in die waagerecht stehenden Kettenglieder eingreifen kann.3 is a positively guided underground railroad track, the track of which consists of two parallel rails 40, 41, which may be curved in curves, and is generally designated by 42. The rails 40, 41 are connected at intervals to sleepers 43 to the track 42. They consist of U-profiles, which are arranged back to back, the profile webs 44 being vertical and the web being positively guided between the flanges 45, 45 '. The chain channel 49 in turn consists of profile sections 46 which are fastened to the sleepers 43 with a flat underside 47. The opening 48 is oriented upwards, so that the sprocket 16 running in the middle of the track can engage from above in the horizontally standing chain links.

Die Reaktionskräfte werden von einem Gegenhalter 50 auf die Lokomotive übertragen, der mit einem Winkelschenkel 51 unter der Führung, d.h. dem Hohlprofil des Kettenkanals auf einer durchgehenden Fläche 52 gleitet.The reaction forces are transmitted to the locomotive from a counter-holder 50, which is supported by an angle leg 51 under the guidance, i.e. the hollow profile of the chain channel slides on a continuous surface 52.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 4 wird ein solcher Gegenhalter dadurch vermieden, daß die öffnungen 53, 54 der Kettenkanäle 55, 56 einander gegenüberstehen und jede Lokomotive mehrere Kettenräder 57, 58 aufweist, deren Reaktionskräfte gegeneinander ausgeglichen sind.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4 such a Brackets avoided in that the openings 53, 54 of the chain channels 55, 56 face each other and each locomotive has several chain wheels 57, 58, the reaction forces of which are balanced against one another.

Bei den bisher beschriebenen Ausführungsformen wird z.B. im Fall der Fig. 1 das Gleis 1 mit den darauf befestigten Kettenkanälen 7, 7' in üblicher Weise am Grubenausbau aufgehängt. Wenn lediglich eine Gefällestrecke mit Triebgliedern 27, 28 zu versehen ist, wird die Kette an einem Ende, z.B. außerhalb des Kettenkanals am Grubenausbau festgelegt. Das andere Ende wird von einer, beispielsweise ebenfalls am Grubenausbau befestigten Spannvorrichtung aufgenommen. Eine solche Spannvorrichtung kann z.B. hydraulisch ausgeführt sein, wobei das Kettenende am Zylinderende bzw. am Kolbenstangenende befestigt ist. Diese Kettenverlegung und -verspannung hat den Vorteil, daß das Gleis hiervon nicht betroffen ist. Allerdings stellt sich die Kette in die Sehne etwa vorhandener Kurven ein. Um das Gleis zu entlasten, kann an mehreren Stellen eine Abstützung des Gleises, etwa am Grubenausbau vorgesehen sein.In the embodiments described so far, e.g. in the case of FIG. 1, the track 1 with the chain channels 7, 7 'attached to it is suspended in the usual manner from the pit extension. If only one downhill section is to be provided with drive links 27, 28, the chain is connected at one end, e.g. fixed outside of the chain channel at the pit extension. The other end is received by a tensioning device, for example also fastened to the pit extension. Such a clamping device can e.g. be carried out hydraulically, the chain end being attached to the cylinder end or to the piston rod end. This chain laying and tensioning has the advantage that the track is not affected. However, the chain adjusts itself in the tendon of any existing curves. In order to relieve the load on the track, support for the track can be provided at several points, for example on the pit extension.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 5 und 6 verwendet man an dem Fahrgleis 1 einer Einschienenhängebahn einen Kettenkanal 60 mit zwei Öffnungen 61, 62 für den Eingriff von gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel drei Kettenrädern 63-65 (Fig. 6), von denen die beiden Räder 64, 65 durch die öffnung 62 in die Rundgliederkette 59 eingreifen, während das Rad 63 als Gegenhalter dient und durch die öffnung 61 in die gleiche Rundgliederkette 59 eingreift.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6, a chain channel 60 with two openings 61, 62 is used on the track 1 of a monorail monorail for the engagement of three chain wheels 63-65 (FIG. 6) according to the exemplary embodiment, of which the two wheels 64, 65 engage through the opening 62 in the round link chain 59, while the wheel 63 serves as a counter-holder and engages through the opening 61 in the same round link chain 59.

Die Zähne der Kettenräder 63-64 greifen zwischen die Gliedschenkel 66, 67 der senkrechten Kettenglieder 68, während die horizontalen Zwischenglieder 69-72 zwischen den Zähnen 73 angeordneten Taschen 74 der Kettenräder zu liegen kommen.The teeth of the chain wheels 63-64 engage between the link legs 66, 67 of the vertical chain links 68, while the horizontal intermediate links 69-72 come to lie pockets 74 of the chain wheels arranged between the teeth 73.

Der Kettenkanal besteht aus zwei kongruenten Profilen 76, 77, welche an den einander zugekehrten Flächen Nuten 78 zur Führung der senkrechten Kettenglieder 68 aufweisen. Die Flachstahlprofile 76, 77 werden von Bolzen 79 zusammengehalten, die in der Mitte Schlüsselflächen 80 und an ihren Enden gegenläufige Gewinde 81, 82 aufweisen.The chain channel consists of two congruent profiles 76, 77 which have grooves 78 on the mutually facing surfaces for guiding the vertical chain links 68. The flat steel profiles 76, 77 are held together by bolts 79 which have key surfaces 80 in the middle and threads 81, 82 running in opposite directions at their ends.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Anordnung so getroffen, daß die Bolzen 79 von den horizontalen Kettengliedern 69, 72 umschlossen sind. Abweichend vom dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel braucht nicht jedes der horizontalen Kettenglieder einen Bolzen zu umschließen. Es genügen häufig wenige Bolzen, um die Profile 76 und 77 auf einer Teillänge zusammen zu halten.In the illustrated embodiment, the arrangement is such that the bolts 79 are enclosed by the horizontal chain links 69, 72. Deviating from the illustrated embodiment, each of the horizontal chain links does not have to enclose a bolt. A few bolts are often sufficient to hold profiles 76 and 77 together over a partial length.

Auch brauchen die Bolzen nicht die horizontalen Kettenglieder 69-72 zu durchgreifen, sondern können neben den Kettengliedern angeordnet werden, um die Kette in der schriebenen Weise einziehen zu können.The bolts also do not need to reach through the horizontal chain links 69-72, but can be arranged next to the chain links in order to be able to pull in the chain in the manner described.
