Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Eisenbahnwagen für den Transport von Abraumgut, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a railroad car for the transport of overburden, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Auf dem Gebiet der Planung und der Konstruktion von Eisenbahnwagen sind einige Wagentypen für den Transport und das darauffolgende Abladen von Abraumgut von einer Arbeitszone in eine andere Ablagerungszone für das Abraumgut bekannt.In the field of planning and designing railway wagons, some types of wagons are known for the transport and subsequent unloading of waste material from one work zone to another deposit zone for the waste material.

Diese Eisenbahnwagen bestehen gewöhnlich aus zwei verschiedenen Teilen: der erste bildet die Organe für das Verfahren des Wagens, d.s. die Vielzahl von Räderpaaren, die auf Schienen laufen; der zweite hingegen besteht aus einem oben offenen "Kasten" mit hohen Seitenwänden, der auf einem unteren Rahmen aufsitzt.These railway wagons usually consist of two different parts: the first forms the organs for the movement of the wagon, d.s. the multitude of pairs of wheels running on rails; the second, on the other hand, consists of a "box" with high side walls that is open at the top and sits on a lower frame.

Dieser Kasten bildet den Behälter für das Abraumgut, das von oben von den Baggermaschinen eingeschüttet wird. Dabei befindet sich in der Arbeitszone ein Zug bestehend aus einer Reihe solcher Wagen, die, nach Beendigung der Beladung mit dem Abraumgut, in ein Gebiet gefahren werden, das eigens für das Abladen des Abraumgutes vorbereitet wurde.This box forms the container for the overburden that is poured in from above by the excavator machines. There is a train in the working zone consisting of a series of such wagons which, after loading of the overburden has been loaded, are driven into an area that has been specially prepared for unloading the overburden.

Für die Entladephase sind die Eisenbahnwagen gewöhnlich mit einer Reihe von Teleskoparmen versehen, die jeweils von zwischen dem unteren Rahmen und dem "Kasten" eingesetzten pneumatischen Kolben betätigt werden. Sobald der Wagen im Eentladegebiet ankommt, werden von der Bedienungsperson die genannten Kolben betätigt, welche das Kippen des Kastens nach einer Seite ermöglichen, um so das Abraumgut an einer Seite desselben auszuleeren und auf dem darunterliegenden Boden abzulagern.For the unloading phase, the railroad cars are usually provided with a series of telescopic arms, each operated by pneumatic pistons inserted between the lower frame and the "box". As soon as the wagon arrives in the unloading area, the operator actuates the pistons mentioned, which enable the box to be tilted to one side, so that the waste material can be emptied on one side thereof and deposited on the underlying floor.

Es ist diese Phase, in welcher sich einige, hauptsächlich auf die Bauweise des Wagens zurückzuführende Nachteile ergeben: einer betrifft die Langsamkeit, mit welcher das Kippen des Kastens erfolgt, um das Abraumgut zu entleeren, da das zu verschiebende Gewicht beachtlich ist und es daher ratsam ist, immer mit einer gewissen Vorsicht vorzugehen, damit es zu keinen Gleichgewichtsverschiebungen des einzelnen Wagens und auch des ganzen Zuges kommt. Ein weiterer Nachteil betrifft die Vorbereitung des Bodens, auf dem das Abraumgut abgeladen werden soll. Tatsächlich werden vorher, um keine Einsenkungen zu bilden, welche durch die Ablage des Aufschüttmaterials auf den ebenen Boden entstehen könnten, in der ganzen Abladezone Vertiefungen oder richtige Aushube vorbereitet, welche dazu bestimmt sind, vorübergehend das abgeladene Abraummaterial zu lagern, welches sodann durch Lastkraftwagen zur Weiterbeförderung in eine Dauerlagerung fortlaufend weggeführt wird.It is this phase in which there are some disadvantages, mainly due to the construction of the car: one concerns the slowness with which the box is tipped over to empty the waste material, since the weight to be moved is considerable and therefore advisable is always to proceed with a certain degree of caution so that there is no shift in the equilibrium of the individual wagon or the entire train. Another disadvantage concerns the preparation of the soil on which the waste material is to be dumped. In fact, in order not to form any depressions which could result from the depositing of the filling material on the flat floor, depressions or correct excavations are prepared in the entire unloading zone, which are intended to temporarily store the unloaded material, which is then used by trucks for Continued transport to permanent storage is continuously carried away.

Diese Vorgangsweise bringt jedoch einen bedeutenden Aufwand an Personal, Gerätschaft und Zeit und daher wirtschaftliche Belastungen für die die Arbeiten durchführende Baufirma mit sich.However, this procedure entails a significant expenditure of personnel, equipment and time and therefore economic burdens for the construction company carrying out the work.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher die Vermeidung der genannten Unzulänglichkeiten durch Schaffung eines Eisenbahnwagens für den Transport von Abraumgut, der billig ist und in seinem Inneren mit einer Kombination von Elementen versehen ist, welche eine rationelle, rasche und bequeme Beladung/Entladung des Abraumgutes auch auf vorher nicht vorbereitetem Boden ermöglichen.The object of the present invention is therefore to avoid the above-mentioned inadequacies by creating a railroad car for the transport of overburden, which is cheap and is provided with a combination of elements in its interior, which also rationally, quickly and conveniently load / unload the overburden allow previously unprepared soil.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Einer der mit vorliegender Erfindung erzielten Vorteile besteht in der Vorsehung einer Reihe von Förderbändern, die für eine rasche und rationelle Beförderung des in den Kasten eingebrachten Abraumgutes sorgen; außerdem ermöglicht es das zweite bewegliche und drehbare Förderband, den Abraum außerhalb des Eisenbahnwagens abzuladen, so daß Vorbereitungsarbeiten mit Schürfkübeln entfallen können.One of the advantages achieved with the present invention consists in the provision of a series of conveyor belts which ensure the rapid and efficient transport of the overburden brought into the box; In addition, the second movable and rotatable conveyor belt enables the overburden to be unloaded outside the railroad car, so that preparatory work with scraping buckets can be omitted.

Die Erfindung wird in größerem Detail in der Folge unter Hinweis auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert, welche eine rein beispielsweise und nicht einschränkende Ausführungsform hiervon zeigen, worin:

  • die Figuren 1 und 1a beide in Seitenansicht einen Eisenbahnwagen zeigen, wobei einige Teile zur besseren Darstellung anderer Teile weggelassen sind;
  • die Figur 2 in Vorderansicht den Eisenbahnwagen gemäß Figur 1 zeigt, wobei einige Teile zur besseren Darstellung anderer Teile weggelassen sind.
The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show a purely exemplary and non-limiting embodiment thereof, in which:
  • Figures 1 and 1a both show a side view of a railroad car, some parts being omitted for better illustration of other parts;
  • FIG. 2 shows a front view of the railroad car according to FIG. 1, some parts being omitted for better illustration of other parts.

Gemäß den beiliegenden Zeichnungsfiguren besteht der gegenständliche Eisenbahnwagen aus einem Doppelpaar von Rädern 1, die auf Gleisen 21 verfahrbar und durch einen horizontalen Flachboden 2 verbunden sind, auf welchem ein oben offener Kasten 3 aufsitzt, der zur Aufnahme des Abraumgutes dient, das in seiner Gesamtheit mit 4 bezeichnet ist.According to the accompanying drawing figures, the railway car in question consists of a double pair of wheels 1, which can be moved on rails 21 and are connected by a horizontal flat bottom 2, on which an open-top box 3 is seated, which serves to receive the overburden, which in its entirety also includes 4 is designated.

Der Eisenbahnwagen weist eine Reihe von Elementen auf, die den Transport, die Beförderung und die darauffolgende Entladung von Abraummaterial ermöglichen und wie folgt zusammengefaßt werden können:

  • ein horizontales Förderband 5 für die Aufnahme von außen und den Transport des Abraumgutes 4;
  • eine Vielzahl von Deckeln 7 für den Verschluß und die Öffnung des Kastens 3;
  • ein schwenkbares und unterhalb unter den Deckeln 7 angeordnetes horizontales Entleerungsband 9 für die Aufnahme und die Entladung des Abraumgutes 4;
  • Einrichtung für die Bewegung 30̸ und Positionierung 31 des Entleerungsbandes 9 im Bereich der Deckel 7.
The railway wagon has a number of elements which enable the transport, transportation and subsequent unloading of clearing material and can be summarized as follows:
  • a horizontal conveyor belt 5 for receiving from the outside and transporting the overburden 4;
  • a plurality of lids 7 for the closure and opening of the box 3;
  • a pivotable and below the lids 7 arranged horizontal emptying belt 9 for receiving and unloading the overburden 4;
  • Device for the movement 30̸ and positioning 31 of the emptying belt 9 in the area of the cover 7.

Der Kasten für die Aufnahme des Abraumgutes 4 wird von einer fixen Struktur definiert, die aus den Wänden 3, einer Vielzahl von zu öffnenden Deckeln 7 und aus einem Verschlußboden, gebildet vom horizontalen Entleerungsband 9, besteht.The box for receiving the overburden 4 is defined by a fixed structure consisting of the walls 3, a plurality of lids 7 to be opened and a closure bottom formed by the horizontal emptying belt 9.

Das Förderband 5 ist zentral und in Längsrichtung oben auf dem Kasten 3 angeordnet und hat eine Erstreckung, die größer ist als die Gesamtlänge des Kastens. Figur 1 kann entnommen werden, daß die beiden, jeweils um Trommeln 5t laufenden Enden des Förderbandes 5 teilweise aus dem Kasten 3 herausragen. Oberhalb dieses Förderbandes 5 ist ein keilförmiges Element 6 angeordnet, welches des Verschiebung des auf dem Förderband 5 vorbeilaufenden Abraumgutes 6 dient und über die ganze Längserstreckung des Kastens 3 mittels Schlitteneinrichtungen 11 horizontal beweglich ist. Dieses keilförmige Element 6 besteht aus einem Paar von einander gegenüberliegenden Klingen 6a und 6b, die im Grundriß einen Keil bilden. Diese Klingen 6a und 6b sind oben mit einem Gelenkparallelogramm 13 verbunden, das seinerseits an den vorgenannten Schlitteneinrichtungen 11 befestigt ist und welches dem keilförmigen Element 6 eine Höhenveränderung zwischen einer extrem an das Förderband 5 angenäherten Stellung und einer extrem von diesem Förderband 5 entfernten Stellung ermöglicht, wie in Fig. 1a strichliert gezeigt ist.The conveyor belt 5 is arranged centrally and in the longitudinal direction on top of the box 3 and has an extension which is greater than the total length of the box. FIG. 1 shows that the two ends of the conveyor belt 5, each running around drums 5t, partially protrude from the box 3. Arranged above this conveyor belt 5 is a wedge-shaped element 6, which serves to displace the overburden 6 passing on the conveyor belt 5 and is horizontally movable over the entire longitudinal extent of the box 3 by means of slide devices 11. This wedge-shaped element 6 consists of a pair of opposing blades 6a and 6b, which form a wedge in plan. These blades 6a and 6b are connected at the top with an articulated parallelogram 13, which in turn is fastened to the aforementioned slide devices 11 and which enables the wedge-shaped element 6 to change the height between a position extremely close to the conveyor belt 5 and a position extremely remote from this conveyor belt 5, as shown in dashed lines in Fig. 1a.

Die genannten Schlitteneinrichtungen 11 bestehen aus einem Paar von Armen 11a und 11b (siehe Fig. 2), die einen Rahmen bilden, welcher zweiseitig das keilförmige Element 6 umfaßt, und welche mit einem Ende am Gelenkparallelogramm 13 befestigt und überdies am anderen Ende mit kleinen Rädern 14a und 14b versehen sind, welche auf einem Paar von horizontalen Schienen 15 laufen, die einen Teil des Stützrahmens des Förderbandes 5 bilden oder alternativ am oberen Ende des Kastens 3 vorgesehen werden können und welche an entgegengesetzten Seiten zum Förderband 5 angeordnet sind und sich über die ganze Länge des Kastens 3 erstrecken.Said slide devices 11 consist of a pair of arms 11a and 11b (see FIG. 2) which form a frame which comprises the wedge-shaped element 6 on two sides and which are attached at one end to the articulated parallelogram 13 and, moreover, with small wheels at the other end 14a and 14b are provided, which on a pair of horizontal rails 15 run, which form part of the support frame of the conveyor belt 5 or alternatively can be provided at the upper end of the box 3 and which are arranged on opposite sides to the conveyor belt 5 and extend over the entire length of the box 3.

Aus Figur 2 kann ersehen werden, daß die Vielzahl von Deckeln 7 zu zweit einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind und zusammen mit dem Endteil des Kastens 3 eine entsprechende Reihe von trichterförmig ausgebildeten Moduleinheiten für die Aufnahme des Abraumgutes 4 bilden. Diese Deckel 7 sind mittels entsprechender Bewegungseinrichtungen 12 zwischen einer extremen Schließstellung der Moduleinheit, in welcher jeder der Deckel 7 ohne Auflösung der Kontinuität mit dem Endteil des Kastens 3 in Berührung befindet, und einer Offenstellung der Moduleinheit bewegbar, in welcher sich jeder Deckel 7 in einer vom Endteil des Kastens 3 abgesetzten Stellung befindet und folglich den Zufluß von Abraumgut 4 über den genannten Endteil des Kastens 3 hinaus ermöglicht. Die Bewegungseinrichtungen 12 bestehen im dargestellten Fall für jeden der vorhandenen Deckel 7 aus einem Hydraulikkolben 16, der mit seinen Enden am Innenteil des Flachbodens 2 bzw. am Deckel 7 angelenkt ist.From Figure 2 it can be seen that the plurality of lids 7 are arranged in pairs opposite to each other and together with the end part of the box 3 form a corresponding row of funnel-shaped module units for receiving the overburden 4. These covers 7 can be moved by means of corresponding movement devices 12 between an extreme closed position of the module unit, in which each cover 7 is in contact with the end part of the box 3 without dissolving the continuity, and an open position of the module unit, in which each cover 7 is in one from the end part of the box 3 is located and consequently allows the inflow of overburden 4 over said end part of the box 3 also. In the illustrated case, the movement devices 12 consist of a hydraulic piston 16 for each of the existing covers 7, the ends of which are articulated on the inner part of the flat bottom 2 or on the cover 7.

Unterhalb der Deckel 7 liegt das aktive Trum des mit seinem eigenen Ende als Drehpunkt fungierenden horizontalen Entleerungsbandes 9, das im Inneren des Kastens 3 angeordnet und insbesondere parallel und drehbar oberhalb des Flachbodens 2 befestigt ist. Dieses Entleerungsband 9 ist um eine eigene Achse mittels Bewegungseinrichtungen 10̸ schwenkbar, die aus einem motorgetriebenen Drehschemel 17 bestehen, der das vorgenannte Ende (sichtbar in Fig. 2) um einen Bogen von etwa 180̸° bewegt. Praktisch schwenkt der Drehschemel 17 das Entleerungsband 9 zwischen einer Außerbetriebsstellung, in welcher das Entleerungsband 9 parallel zum Flachboden 2 angeordnet ist, und einer Entlade-Betriebsstellung für das Abraumgut 4, in welcher das Entleerungsband 9 quer und vorspringend zum Flachboden 2 angeordnet ist. Um keine Verluste von herabfallendem Abraumgut zu verursachen, ist das Entleerungsband 9 von einem Muldenrahmen 18 geschützt, der es vollkommen einschließt, außer natürlich das Ende des Entleerungsbandes 9, welches zum Abladen des Abraumgutes 4 auf den darunterliegenden Boden bestimmt ist.Below the cover 7 is the active strand of the horizontal emptying belt 9, which functions as a fulcrum with its own end, which is arranged in the interior of the box 3 and in particular is fastened parallel and rotatably above the flat bottom 2. This emptying belt 9 can be pivoted about its own axis by means of movement devices 10̸ which consist of a motor-driven turntable 17 which moves the aforementioned end (visible in FIG. 2) by an arc of approximately 180̸ °. In practice, the turntable 17 swivels the discharge belt 9 between an inoperative position, in which the emptying belt 9 is arranged parallel to the flat bottom 2, and an unloading operating position for the waste material 4, in which the emptying belt 9 is arranged transversely and projecting to the flat bottom 2. In order not to cause losses of falling waste material, the discharge belt 9 is protected by a trough frame 18 which completely encloses it, except, of course, the end of the discharge belt 9, which is intended for unloading the waste material 4 onto the underlying floor.

Die vorgenannten Einrichtungen für die Bewegung 30̸ und Positionierung 31 sind - wie gut aus Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich - unterhalb des Kastens 3 und parallel zu diesem über seine ganze Länge angeordnet, um nach und nach das als Drehpunkt des Entleerungsbandes 9 fungierende Ende in den Bereich des sich in extremer Öffnungsstellung befindlichen oberen Deckels 7 zu bringen.The aforementioned devices for the movement 30̸ and positioning 31 are - as can be seen well from FIGS. 1 and 2 - arranged below the box 3 and parallel to it over its entire length, in order gradually to act as the pivot point of the discharge belt 9 in the end Bring the area of the upper lid 7 located in the extreme open position.

Insbesondere bestehen diese Einrichtungen für die Bewegung 30̸ und Positionierung 31 aus einem Auflagewagen 32 für das Entleerungsband 9, der zwischen dem Flachboden 2 und dem als Drehpunkt fungierenden Ende des Entleerungsbandes 9 eingesetzt ist und beidseitig eine Reihe von kleinen Rädern 33 besitzt, die in einem Paar von zueinander parallelen Führungen 34 laufen, welche auf dem Flachboden 2 befestigt sind und sich über die ganze Länge des Eisenbahnwagens erstrecken. Der Auflagewagen 32 ist beidseitig mit einer endlosen Kette 35 verbunden, die beispielsweise um Kettenscheiben (hier nicht gezeigt), die an den betreffenden Enden des Eisenbahnwagens vorgesehen sind, läuft und mittels eines Untersetzungsgetriebes 40̸ angetrieben wird, das auf dem Auflagewagen 32 angeordnet ist, um so die Verschiebung und Positionierung des Entleerungsbandes 9 im Bereich der Deckel 7, nach und nach wie sich diese öffnen, zu ermöglichen.In particular, these devices for the movement 30̸ and positioning 31 consist of a support carriage 32 for the emptying belt 9, which is inserted between the flat bottom 2 and the end of the emptying belt 9 which acts as a fulcrum and has on both sides a number of small wheels 33, which are in a pair run from mutually parallel guides 34 which are fastened on the flat floor 2 and extend over the entire length of the railroad car. The support carriage 32 is connected on both sides to an endless chain 35 which, for example, runs around sprockets (not shown here), which are provided at the relevant ends of the railway carriage, and is driven by means of a reduction gear 40̸ which is arranged on the support carriage 32 to allow the displacement and positioning of the emptying belt 9 in the area of the cover 7, little by little as they open.

Der Auflagewagen 32 kann überdies mit Wegendeinrichtungen versehen sein, die ein exaktes Anhalten des Auflagewagens im Bereich des oberen Deckels 7, der sich in extremer Öffnungsstellung befindet, zu ermöglichen.The support carriage 32 can moreover be provided with path end devices which enable the support carriage to be stopped exactly in the region of the upper cover 7, which is in the extreme open position.

Der auf diese Weise ausgelegte Eisenbahnwagen funktioniert in folgender Weise, wobei angenommen wird, daß eine Garnitur von mehreren Eisenbahnwagen für das Aufladen des Abraumgutes in der Beladungszone steht: die zum Aufladen des Abraumgutes vorgesehenen Maschinen legen dieses auf das Förderband 5 des ersten Wagens auf und es wird entlang desselben befördert. Auf diesem Wagen und den folgenden, mit Ausnahme des letzten, ist das keilförmige Element 6 mittels des Gelenkparallelograms 13 in angehobener Stellung angeordnet, so daß das Abraumgut 4 bis zum letzten Wagen durchlaufen kann. Auf dem letzten Wagen befindet sich das keilförmige Element 6 in der zum Förderband 5 angenäherten Stellung und im Bereich des abschließenden Endes des Kastens 3, um auf diese Weise das Herabfallen des Abraumgutes 4 in die darunter befindliche, trichterförmige Moduleinheit zu bewirken.The railway wagon designed in this way works in the following manner, assuming that a set of several railway wagons stands for loading the overburden in the loading zone: the machines provided for loading the overburden put it on the conveyor belt 5 of the first wagon and it is transported along the same. On this car and the following, with the exception of the last one, the wedge-shaped element 6 is arranged in a raised position by means of the articulated parallelogram 13, so that the waste material 4 can pass through to the last car. On the last carriage, the wedge-shaped element 6 is in the position approximated to the conveyor belt 5 and in the region of the closing end of the box 3, in order in this way to cause the waste material 4 to fall down into the funnel-shaped module unit located underneath.

Sobald letztere gefüllt ist, wird das keilförmige Element 6 in Richtung C nach vorne entgegengesetzt zur Bewegungsrichtung des Förderbandes 5 geschoben (siehe Pfeile in Fig. 1), so daß der Zustrom von Abraumgut 4 in diese letzte Moduleinheit unterbrochen und mit der Füllung der in bezug auf die Bewegungsrichtung des Abraumgutes 4 davor befindlichen Moduleinheit begonnen wird. Nach dem vollständigen Füllen des ganzen Eisenbahnwagens wird das keilförmige Element 6 des folgenden Wagens betätigt, welche mit der Füllphase seiner Moduleinheiten wie oben beschrieben beginnt.As soon as the latter is filled, the wedge-shaped element 6 is pushed forward in the direction C opposite to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 5 (see arrows in FIG. 1), so that the inflow of waste material 4 into this last module unit is interrupted and with the filling in relation to the direction of movement of the overburden 4 in front of the module unit is started. After the entire rail car has been completely filled, the wedge-shaped element 6 of the following car is actuated, which begins with the filling phase of its module units as described above.

Nach dem Füllen der ganzen Reihe von Eisenbahnwagen wird der durch letztere gebildete Zug in den Abladesektor für das Abraumgut 4 gebracht. Nunmehr wird das Entleerungsband 9 bei jedem Wagen um etwa 90̸° verschwenkt, so daß es sich an der Seite der Eisenbahnstrecke anordnet, an welcher beabsichtigt ist, das Abraumgut 4 abzuladen. Hierauf werden in einzelner Aufeinanderfolge mittels der Kolben 13 die verschiedenen Deckel 7 geöffnet, welche den Zulauf des Abraumgutes 4 direkt auf das Entleerungsband 9 ermöglichen, von welchem es dann bis zu der beabsichtigten Abladestelle transportiert wird. Dabei wird das Entleerungsband 9, nachdem eine Moduleinheit entleert ist, mittels des Auflagewagens 32, der seinerseits von der oder den von einem Arbeiter betätigten Kette(n) bewegt wird, unter das nächste Modul gebracht, um daraus das Abraumgut 4 entleeren zu können.After filling the whole series of railroad cars, the brought by the latter train into the unloading sector for the waste material 4. Now the emptying belt 9 is pivoted by approximately 90 ° for each wagon, so that it is arranged on the side of the railway line on which the waste material 4 is intended to be unloaded. The various lids 7 are then opened in individual succession by means of the pistons 13, which allow the waste material 4 to be fed directly onto the emptying belt 9, from which it is then transported to the intended unloading point. After a module unit has been emptied, the emptying belt 9 is brought under the next module by means of the support carriage 32, which in turn is moved by the chain (s) operated by a worker, in order to be able to empty the waste material 4 therefrom.

Aus den obigen Ausführungen kann man erkennen, daß der Entladungsvorgang sehr rasch erfolgt und daß somit die Wagen innerhalb eines sehr kurzen Zeitraumes viele Materialtransporte und -abladungen durchführen können.From the above, it can be seen that the unloading process takes place very quickly and that the wagons can therefore carry out and unload a lot of material within a very short period of time.

Um die Abladephase weiter zu beschleunigen, ist es möglich, ein weiteres, auf dem Boden aufgestelltes Transportband vorzusehen, mit welchem zusammen mit dem Entleerungsband 9 eine zusammenhängende Transportstrecke gebildet werden kann, die beispielsweise bis zu Transportlastwagen reicht, welche sodann das Abraumgut 4 zu den dafür vorgesehenen Sammelstellen befördern. Diese Maßnahme erweist sich dann als vorteilhaft, wenn auf einem Platz abgeladen werden soll, einem Ort, wo es nicht möglich ist, den Boden für die Aufnahme des Abraumgutes vorzubereiten.In order to further accelerate the unloading phase, it is possible to provide a further conveyor belt set up on the floor, with which a coherent transport route can be formed together with the emptying belt 9, which, for example, extends to transport trucks, which then remove the overburden 4 to the purpose the designated collection points. This measure proves to be advantageous if unloading is to take place in a place, a place where it is not possible to prepare the floor for the reception of the overburden.
