Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for warning of rotting, in which control commands from the control panel or from the interlocking circuit are transmitted as a rotting warning message by means of an interlocking-side indoor system to a building site-side outdoor system, and the security post of the junk at risk after carrying out the security measures on the construction site is the return of an acknowledgment message from the outdoor system to the indoor system.
  • the conventional warning of people working in the track area is based on the use of security posts.
  • Security posts as outposts and intermediate posts announce approaching rail vehicles of the construction site and security posts at the construction site (interior posts) warn the endangered personnel.
  • the previously common warning of people working in the track area has a number of disadvantages. Since the previous practice is based on the use of security posts, the safety of the people working on the track depends primarily on these people. Accidents caused by human error are therefore not excluded. Security-threatening situations occur when the warning is absent or is delayed.
  • the number of security items to be used for the announcement and the warning is determined by a number of influencing factors, e.g. the speed of the approaching rail vehicles, the visibility on the announcement routes on both sides of the construction site, the type of work and the clearing time. Their number varies greatly depending on the influencing factors; in individual cases it can reach or exceed the number of rot workers employed.
  • This central unit detects and processes the approach to the train and triggers an acoustic and optical signaling of the workers' racks via a further device, the so-called warning device, so that the necessary safety measures can be carried out in good time.
  • train detectors have to be carried out by the pack, assembled and, depending on the progress of the construction site, including the corresponding cables, have to be converted to the transmission device.
  • the train detectors When using track construction machines with a working driving speed of approx. 1 km / h, the constant implementation can only be achieved with a high amount of work.
  • train detectors can be avoided by including existing railway safety equipment in the warning device.
  • the track construction site is entered into the train operating system as a "slow-moving train", in the simplest case by hand in the corresponding block section of the track diagram of an interlocking the required control is carried out. Control signals are given to the train control of the track diagram via a construction site memory circuit.
  • control signals mean that a corresponding control command is formed by an evaluation circuit during control of the train journey via the speed controller and journey test, at least at a safe distance from the construction site, for each train journey colliding with the construction site on the construction site track, which ultimately, via a radio or wire transmission device, is the warning device of the Construction site is triggered with a time delay if there is no acknowledgment by the security guard.
  • This arrangement also has the disadvantage that it does not operate safely in terms of signaling and therefore does not release the dispatcher from responsibility towards the rotting company until the acknowledgment signal from the security guard is received.
  • the control signals serve exclusively to warn the rotting, the prevention of the train journey when the construction site has not been cleared can only be done by additional measures.
  • the indoor system contains a matching circuit which is connected on the one hand to the interlocking circuit and the control panel and on the other hand to a transmission / reception circuit connected to the transmission line, with an actuating message from the interlocking circuit or the control panel which endangers the rotting Track release causes, stored by the adapter circuit and supplied to the transmitter / receiver circuit, whereupon the latter sends a warning message via the transmission line to the outdoor unit that the outdoor unit contains a signal output circuit, which has a transmitter / receiver circuit connected to the transmission line, as well as with a warning device and Acknowledgment button is connected, with the transmitting / receiving circuit feeding the received warning message to the message output circuit, whereupon the latter activates the warning device and with the acknowledgment button in the message output circuit generating an acknowledgment signal which is sent back via the transmission / reception circuit as an acknowledgment message via the transmission line to the indoor system that the transmitting / receiving circuit of the indoor system receives this acknowledgment message and transmits it to the adapter circuit,
  • the interlocking circuit does not receive an actuating command to release the signal covering the worker rot.
  • a further development of the invention is characterized in that the outdoor system consists of a mobile rotten warning station which contains the transmit / receive circuit and the message output circuit and the power supply unit, and a portable control box which contains the warning device and the acknowledgment buttons.
  • the heavy rotten warning station which only has to be operated when the system is switched on or off, can advantageously be set up at a central point or near the telephone connection point, while the security post with the mobile control box is located directly at the rotten and can thus better observe the clearing of the track before the warning is acknowledged.
  • TMF audio frequency multiplex telecontrol device
  • This training has the advantage that several rotten warning devices can be connected to a single transmission line.
  • an indoor system can interact with several outdoor systems.
  • the transmission circuit of the indoor system and the outdoor system consists of a TMF transmitter, which is preceded by a coder, and the reception circuit of the indoor system and the outdoor system consists of a TMF receiver, which is followed by a decoder.
  • This training enables the use of the existing FS line between the stations, via which all telephone stations on the route are connected to the station, as a transmission line, whereby calls can be made at the same time.
  • a monitoring circuit is connected to the output of the TMF receiver and to the coder, the monitoring circuit blocking the coder when the TMF receiver responds.
  • This measure prevents a number of rot warning devices from transmitting simultaneously on one transmission line.
  • a further development of the invention is that the monitoring circuit is connected to the transmission line and is connected to the decoder, with both the encoder and the decoder being blocked when an overvoltage occurs on the transmission line.
  • This training has the advantage that overvoltages such as they are caused, for example, by the crank inductor of an OB apparatus, they are not received in error as a message and, furthermore, no messages are sent.
  • the monitoring circuit is connected to the message output circuit, wherein when an overvoltage occurs or when a TMF receiver responds or when the encoder or decoder are not in the idle state, all keys of the control box are blocked via the message output circuit.
  • the security guard can easily determine that it is not possible to submit a report at this point in time and that he is prompted to repeat the acknowledgment, for example.
  • a further development of the invention consists in the fact that in the indoor system between the matching circuit and the transmitting circuit, an automatic transmission is switched on, which, controlled by a clock circuit, polls the memory of the matching circuit as to whether a message is stored for the pack and, in the presence of a message, causes the sensor circuit to send out the message .
  • the memory of the adapter circuit can be queried at defined time intervals and messages that do not acknowledge in the meantime, d. H. not deleted, will be sent again. It also enables messages from several rotten warning devices to be coordinated in time.
  • the invention can also be advantageously designed in that the automatic transmission is connected to the monitoring circuit, the automatic transmission being blocked when an overvoltage occurs on the transmission line or when the TMF receiver responds. This ensures that only one message is transmitted on the line at a time.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the rotten warning system according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 the outdoor system
  • FIG. 3 the indoor system
  • FIG. 4 the control panel of the rotten warning station
  • FIG. 5 the control panel of the control box
  • FIG. 6 the control panel of the indoor system
  • FIG 7 the control panel on the control panel
  • FIG. 8 an application example on a route with four rotten warning devices.
  • the Rottenwarnstrom generally consists of an outdoor facility 2, the indoor facilities 1 in the train stations delimiting the route or in the facilities for self-contained blocks housed in separate structures and the connection 5 between the outdoor and indoor system.
  • the indoor system 1 is connected on the one hand to the interlocking circuit 3 or the control panel 4 and on the other hand connected to the outdoor system 2 via a transmission line 5.
  • Control signals that come from the signal box 3 or from the control panel 4 are stored in the adapter circuit 11 and supplied by the transmitter circuit 6.
  • the transmission circuit 6 generates a warning message and sends it in coded form to the transmission line 5.
  • the outdoor facilities 2 of the individual rotts are connected to the transmission line 5.
  • the outdoor system receives the warning message by means of a receiving circuit 9, forwards this signal to the message output circuit 21, which stores the message and activates a warning device 10.
  • the security guard of the group acknowledges this warning message by actuating the acknowledgment key 19, which generates an acknowledgment signal in the message output circuit 21 and deletes the stored warning message.
  • This acknowledgment signal generates an acknowledgment message in the transmission circuit 8, which is sent again in coded form on the transmission line 5.
  • the acknowledgment message is received in the receiving circuit 7 of the indoor system 1 and transmitted to the adapter circuit 11.
  • the adapter circuit 11 issues an actuating command to the interlocking circuit 3 and at the same time deletes the actuating signal initially stored.
  • the corresponding signal 30 is provided by the interlocking circuit 3.
  • the outdoor installation comprises the rotten warning station 20, the control box 29 and the battery box 27 for supplying the rotten warning station and the control box.
  • the Rottenwarnstation 20 contains the devices for the TMF transmission and the plug for connection to the FS line 5 with line adaptation, furthermore the plug for the connection for the OB telephone set 28 and the plug for the connection for the battery 27 and the Plug for the connection for the control box 29.
  • the control box 29 is provided with a connection cable. It contains all the detectors and buttons required for the security post and is connected to the red warning station 20 with a plug.
  • the TMF device consists of a TMF transmitter 23 and an associated coder 22 and a TMF receiver 25 together with the associated decoder 24.
  • the entire rotten warning station 20 is controlled by means of a monitoring circuit 26.
  • the FS line 5 is monitored for overvoltages (10V), such as those caused by crank inductors. If an overvoltage occurs, the decoder 24 cannot be released will. The coder 22 is also blocked, thus preventing signals from being sent to the FS line 5.
  • the TMF receivers 25 are monitored for claims. If one or more TMF receivers 25 have responded, the encoder 22 is also blocked. This measure prevents a number of rotting warning devices from transmitting simultaneously on one FS line 5. If there is an overvoltage on the FS line 5 or a TMF receiver 25 has responded or if the decoder 24 or coder 22 are not in the idle position, all buttons on the control box 29 are blocked.
  • the decoder 24 is released for 200 ms. During this period, the incoming signals are decoded in decoder 24. The decoded information is stored in the memory of the message output circuit 21.
  • the message output circuit 21 now switches on the relevant lamp in the control box 29. After acknowledgment by pressing the corresponding button on the control box 29, this is stored in the memory of the message output circuit 21 and at the same time the acknowledged information is deleted.
  • the message output circuit 21 passes the acknowledgment to the encoder 22.
  • the encoder 22 encodes the message and switches on the corresponding TMF transmitter 23 for 900 ms.
  • the transmission and reception circuit of the indoor system 1 operate essentially similar to that of the outdoor system 2. They also consist of a TM transmitter 13 and associated coder 12 and a TMF receiver 15 and associated decoder 14, which in turn are controlled by a monitoring circuit 16 .
  • a clock generator 18 sends second pulses to an automatic transmission 17, which queries the memory of the adapter circuit 11 whether a message (Positioning command) for the rotting is stored.
  • a message (control command) is stored, it is encoded in the encoder 12 and the corresponding TMF transmitter 13 is switched on for 900 ms. If several messages are saved, they are sent in sequence at 3s intervals. If messages are saved after approx. 4 minutes, they will be sent again.
  • the acknowledgment signal is received in TMF receiver 15 and decoded in decoder 14.
  • the decoded signals from the decoder 14 are passed on via the matching circuit 11 to the interlocking circuit 3, which causes the corresponding signal 30 to be set.
  • the monitoring circuit 16 of the indoor system 1 works like that of the outdoor system 2, except that not automatic buttons but the automatic transmission 17 are blocked.
  • the memories in the adaptation circuit 11 can only be deleted by withdrawing the messages (control commands). This is usually done after confirmation by the rotting.
  • the control panel of the rotten warning station 20 (FIG. 4) is used primarily for starting up or decommissioning the rotten warning station, while the control panel of the control box 29 (FIG. 5) is used for input and output of messages.
  • Direction indicators FR, main warning detectors HW and acknowledgment buttons QuT are arranged in two groups of 2 rows each. The first group, identified by indices 11 and 12, is assigned to track 1, the second group, identified by indices 21 and 22, to track 2. The individual rows within a group, identified by the respective second index 1 and 2, are used for Differentiation of the respective direction of travel.
  • the Rottenwarnstation becomes together with the battery box Brought to the construction site and connected to it on the spot. Furthermore, the connection to the FS line is established in the same way as for the telephone (OB) set.
  • the rotten warning system is then switched on by pressing the ON button. The lamp ON lights up when the rotten warning station is in order.
  • the security guard establishes the connection to the dispatchers of the neighboring stations via the OB apparatus and requests that the rotten warning system be activated.
  • the FR detectors for the activated direction of travel of the track concerned flash. In the case of a single-track section, only the FR detectors flash for one track. For security reasons, each of these messages must be acknowledged in sequence with the respective acknowledgment key QuT. After acknowledgment, the FR detectors light up continuously. Work on the track can begin when all the necessary FR detectors show a steady white light.
  • a main warning is automatically sent to the security post, i.e. the red main warning light HW for the relevant track and the relevant direction of travel flashes.
  • the security item acknowledges after the corresponding measures have been taken.
  • the QuT acknowledgment key is pressed for the track in question, the white lamp FR goes out and the red lamp HW shows a steady light.
  • the acknowledgment must be made separately for each line track.
  • the rottenwarning system After completing the work, the rottenwarning system must be switched off by pressing the return button RT (Fig. 4). After pressing the return button RT, all detectors FR go out. With this handling, the influence of the rotten warning system on the covering signal is automatically canceled. Now the Rottenwarnstation can be dismantled again.
  • the indoor system intervenes in the signal box system after the rotten warning system has been activated as follows:
  • the exit road After the exit road has been set, the main warning of the group is given automatically when the route block is in the basic position. The determination of the route and subsequently the release of the exit signal is prevented until the acknowledgment of the main warning is received.
  • a block signal After driving to the switch-on point (for example, occupying the vacant reporting section in front of the block signal), the main warning of the pack is given automatically if the other conditions for exempting the block signal are present. The block signal is not exempted until the acknowledgment of the main warning is received.
  • control panels of the indoor system or on the control panel are shown.
  • the route warning system is activated for the route in question (the route section in question) by the dispatcher by pressing the Rottenwarn switch-on button RWET for the relevant route I to IV (Fig. 6) and the track button GT on the control panel in the field next to the route track (Fig . 7) .
  • the rotwarning system on-detector RwE and the corresponding WI WIV active detector on the control panel light up with a white continuous light. Effective switching is only possible when the track is clear and the exit road is not set.
  • a block signal A1, B1, Y1, Z1, (Fig. 8)
  • the block signal must also be brought into the stop position by blocking. After activation, the block signal must be unlocked again.
  • the activation is indicated to the security guard as shown in Fig. 5 by flashing light in the detectors for the activated direction of travel for the track in question. The relevant detectors flash until they are acknowledged by the security guard and then show a steady white light.
  • the dispatcher can also deactivate the rotten warning system. If the security guard forgets to return the Rottenwarnstrom after completion of the work, or if there are other important reasons to cancel the activation of the Rottenwarnstrom by the dispatcher, you can press the Rottenwarn auxiliary switch off button RwHT for the respective Rotte I to IV and the track button GT in the field next to it the Rottenwarnstrom ineffective on the track be switched. This operation is registered by the RwHZ counter. The Rottenwarnstrom is deactivated by this operation, the FR detectors for the relevant track and the direction of travel at the Rottenwarnstation of the outdoor system go out. The active detector W for the rotting I to IV in question in the table field also goes out and the rotting warning system off detector RwA shows white continuous light.
  • the 4-track station N the four exit signals R1, R2, R3 and R4 are set by the control panel 4n via the interlocking circuit 3n, the control signals of which can be influenced by the indoor system 1n via the adapter circuit 11n.
  • the entrance signals H1, H2, H3 and H4 are set in the station M from the control panel 4m via the interlocking circuit 3m and can be controlled by the indoor system 1m via its adjustment circuit 11m.
  • the block signals A1, B1 and Z, Y1 of the block position BL are centrally assigned to the interlocking circuit 3m in the station.
  • four outdoor systems 2 I to 2 IV can be connected for four groups I to IV.
  • the two indoor systems and the four outdoor systems are connected to one another via telephone line 5.
