Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportwagen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, mit endseitig angeordneten Schienenfahrwerken und einem bezüglich deren Achsen mittigen, balkenförmigen und mit einer zum Befestigen einer Weiche ausgebildeten Verschwenkeinrichtung verbundenen Fahrzeugrahmen, wobei die Verschwenkeinrichtung durch Antriebe um eine in Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugrahmens verlaufende Schwenkachse von einer horizontalen in eine etwa vertikale Position verschwenkbar ist.The invention relates to a transport trolley according to the preamble of claim 1, with rail carriages arranged at the ends and a bar-shaped vehicle frame which is centered with respect to the axes thereof and is connected to a pivoting device designed to fasten a switch, the pivoting device being driven by drives about a pivot axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame a horizontal to an approximately vertical position is pivotable.

Durch die FR-A-2 314 299 ist bereits ein derartiger Transportwagen mit einem balkenförmigen Fahrzeugrahmen und endseitig angeordneten Schienenfahrwerken bekannt. Eine zum Befestigen einer Weiche sowie zu deren Verschwenkung von einer horizontalen, außerhalb des Lichtraumprofils befindlichen Position in eine hochgeschwenkte, innerhalb des Lichtraumprofils befindliche Position ist eine Verschwenkeinrichtung vorgesehen. Diese besteht aus mehreren, an beiden Längsseiten des Fahrzeugrahmens gelenkig befestigten, winkelförmigen Abstützelementen, die jeweils mit einem Antrieb verbunden sind. Die länger ausgebildeten und quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Abstützelemente weisen an ihren freien Enden jeweils einen Gleitschuh auf, der zur Abstützung einer Schwelle dient und während der Verschwenkung der Weiche relativ zur Schwelle verschoben wird. Die Befestigung der Weiche erfolgt schließlich durch um die Schwelle geführte Manschetten, die mit dem Gleitschuh des Abstützelementes verbunden sind. Eine derartige bekannte Ausbildung eines Transportwagens setzt eine genaue Positionierung der Weiche voraus, so daß sich deren Schwellen genau im Bereich der Abstützelemente bzw. Gleitschuhe befinden. Außerdem ist die Verbindung der Weiche mit der Verschwenkeinrichtung relativ umständlich und zeitaufwendig.From FR-A-2 314 299 such a transport carriage with a beam-shaped vehicle frame and rail carriages arranged at the ends is already known. A pivoting device is provided for attaching a switch and for pivoting it from a horizontal position located outside the clearance profile into a pivoted-up position located within the clearance profile. This consists of several, on both long sides of the vehicle frame articulated, angular support elements, each of which is connected to a drive. The longer-shaped support elements, which run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the carriage, each have at their free ends a slide shoe which serves to support a threshold and is displaced relative to the threshold during the pivoting of the switch. The switch is finally fastened by sleeves which are guided around the threshold and which are connected to the sliding block of the support element. Such a known design of a transport trolley requires precise positioning of the switch so that its sleepers are located precisely in the area of the support elements or sliding shoes. In addition, the connection of the switch to the pivoting device is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming.

Durch die FR-A-2 325 765 ist noch eine andere Ausführung eines Transportwagens bekannt, wobei der Fahrzeugrahmen als vertikale, durch Antriebe gegenüber den endseitig angeordneten Schienenfahrwerken höhenverstellbare Platte ausgebildet ist. An jeder der beiden Längsseiten des Fahrzeugrahmens ist eine eigene Verschwenkeinrichtung zum Erfassen einer Weiche gelagert und mit entsprechenden Antrieben verbunden. Dieser bekannte, zum Abheben einer alten und Ablegen einer neuen Weiche vorgesehene Transportwagen ist konstruktiv besonders aufwendig, wobei sich die kombinierte Aufnahme der alten und Ablage der neuen Weiche in der Praxis lediglich unter besonders günstigen Umständen durchführen läßt.Another embodiment of a transport trolley is known from FR-A-2 325 765, the vehicle frame being designed as a vertical plate which is height-adjustable by drives relative to the rail carriages arranged at the ends. On each of the two long sides of the vehicle frame, a separate pivoting device for gripping a switch is mounted and connected to corresponding drives. This known, provided for lifting an old and storing a new switch is structurally particularly complex, the combined inclusion of the old and storage of the new switch can only be carried out in practice under particularly favorable circumstances.

Ein weiterer Transportwagen ist auch durch die CH-A-658 085 bekannt, wobei einem Schienenfahrwerk noch ein gelenkig mit dem Fahrzeugrahmen verbundenes Raupenfahrwerk mit Hilfs-Schienenfahrwerken zugeordnet ist. Der balkenförmig mit trapezförmigem Querschnitt ausgebildete Fahrzeugrahmen weist eine in einem Winkel von etwa 60° zur Horizontalen geneigte Auflagefläche zur Verbindung mit einem Gleisjoch auf, so daß dieses ungehindert auf dem Gleis zur Baustelle bzw. in umgekehrter Richtung transportierbar ist. Zur Abnahme des Gleisjoches vom Transportwagen und anschließenden Auflage auf die Schotterbettung sind zwei Portalrahmen vorgesehen, die mit dem Transportwagen zur Baustelle überstellbar sind. Dieser bekannte Transportwagen hat den Nachteil, daß die Übernahme des schrägliegenden Gleisjoches vom Fahrzeugrahmen lediglich mit speziell dafür ausgebildeten Portalrahmen möglich ist, wobei außerdem bei schrägliegendem und durch diese Portalrahmen gehaltenem Gleisjoch ein umständlicher und gefährlicher Abtransport des Transportwagens durchzuführen ist.Another transport trolley is also known from CH-A-658 085, a crawler track with articulated crawler tracks, which is connected to the vehicle frame, being associated with auxiliary track trolleys. The bar-shaped vehicle frame with a trapezoidal cross-section has a bearing surface inclined at an angle of approximately 60 ° to the horizontal for connection to a track yoke, so that it can be transported unhindered on the track to the construction site or in the opposite direction. Two portal frames are provided for removing the track yoke from the transport wagon and subsequent support on the ballast bed, which can be transferred to the construction site using the transport wagon. This known transport trolley has the disadvantage that the inclination of the sloping track yoke from the vehicle frame is only possible with specially designed portal frames, and in addition, with sloping rail track and yoke held by these portal frames, a cumbersome and dangerous removal of the transport carriage is to be carried out.

Weitere Einrichtung zum Transport von schrägliegenden Gleisjochen sind beispielsweise noch durch die EP-A-0 146 164, EP-A-0 160 898 sowie EP-A-0 108 168 bekannt.Further devices for transporting sloping track yokes are also known, for example, from EP-A-0 146 164, EP-A-0 160 898 and EP-A-0 108 168.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung eines Transportwagens der eingangs beschriebenen Art, (vgl. die FR-A-2314299) der bei konstruktiv einfacher Ausbildung sowohl einen problemlosen Transport des Gleisjoches als auch eine problemlose Übernahme desselben durch verschiedene Gleisjoch-Verlegeeinrichtungen ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is now to provide a transport carriage of the type described at the beginning (see FR-A-2314299) which, with a structurally simple design, enables both problem-free transport of the track yoke and problem-free transfer of the same by various track-yoke laying devices .

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Verschwenkeinrichtung als am Fahrzeugrahmen aufliegender, aus einer Vielzahl von miteinander verbundenen und in Wagenlängs- und Querrichtung verlaufenden, sowie in einer gemeinsamen, parallel zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Rahmenebene angeordneten Stützelementen zusammengesetzter Abstützrahmen bzw. als Ladeplattform gebildet ist, wobei die in Wagenlängsrichtung voneinander distanzierten Antriebe jeweils im unteren, der Schwenkachse in Wagenquerrichtung gegenüberliegenden Eckbereich des Fahrzeugrahmens gelenkig mit diesem verbunden sind. Dabei ist der Transportwagen selbst mit lediglich einem balkenförmigen Fahrzeugrahmen, einer durch Antriebe verschwenkbaren Ladeplattform und zwei Schienenfahrwerken mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand herstellbar. Außerdem ist in besonderen Engstellen, wie z. B. Tunnels, eine ständige Änderung der Schräglage zum Durchtransport auch besonders breiter Weichen-Gleisjoche möglich. Durch den erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Abstützrahmen besteht die Möglichkeit, die zu transportierende Weiche über ihre gesamte Länge unter Vermeidung eines durchhängenden Abschnittes gleichmäßig abzustützen und für einen gesicherten Transport optimal mit dem Transportwagen zu verbinden. Durch die Vielzahl von in einer Ebene befindlichen Stützelementen sind die Schwellen weitgehend unabhängig von ihrer Position relativ zum Abstützrahmen an verschiedenen Stellen mit den genannten Elementen verbindbar, so daß jedwede Art einer Weiche besonders rasch fixier- und transportierbar ist, ohne daß dazu erst eine umständliche Verschiebung der Weiche am Transportwagen in eine bestimmte Fixierposition erforderlich ist. Auch geteilte Weichen sind unter Vermeidung durchhängender Abschnitte problemlos transportierbar. Infolge der seitlichen Anordnung der Antriebe ist bei einem relativ weiten Verschwenkbereich von etwa 80° eine günstige Kraftübertragung zum Transport auch von Weichen mit schweren Betonschwellen gewährleistet. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht demnach die Möglichkeit, auch bezüglich ihrer Umrisse besonders sperrige Weichen durch entsprechende günstige Positionierung relativ zum Abstützrahmen derart anzuordnen, daß sämtliche Weichenabschnitte nach Verschwenkung in die angehobene Position noch innerhalb des Lichtraumprofils zu liegen kommen.This object is achieved in that the pivoting device is formed as a support frame or as a loading platform, which is composed of a plurality of interconnected support elements which run in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the carriage and are arranged in a common support element which runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame. wherein the drives spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the carriage are each articulatedly connected to the lower frame region of the vehicle frame opposite the pivot axis in the transverse direction of the carriage. The trolley itself can be manufactured with only a bar-shaped vehicle frame, a loading platform that can be pivoted by drives, and two rail bogies with little design effort. In addition, in special constrictions such. B. tunnels, a constant change of the incline for the transport through particularly wide switch track yokes possible. The support frame designed according to the invention makes it possible to support the switch to be transported evenly over its entire length, avoiding a sagging section, and to optimally connect it to the transport trolley for secure transport. Due to the multitude of in one level Support elements, the sleepers are largely independent of their position relative to the support frame at various points with the elements mentioned, so that any type of switch can be fixed and transported particularly quickly, without having to first move the switch on the trolley into a specific fixing position is required. Split turnouts can also be easily transported, avoiding sagging sections. As a result of the lateral arrangement of the drives, with a relatively wide swiveling range of approximately 80 °, a favorable power transmission for transporting turnouts with heavy concrete sleepers is guaranteed. The solution according to the invention therefore offers the possibility of arranging switches which are particularly bulky in terms of their outline by correspondingly favorable positioning relative to the support frame in such a way that all switch sections still lie within the clearance profile after pivoting into the raised position.

Die Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 2 ermöglicht in vorteilhafter Weise eine sehr einfache und rasche Verschiebung der Abstützhaken in eine zwischen den Schwellen der Weiche gelegene Position für eine sicher Verbindung mit dem entsprechenden Schienenabschnitt. Damit sind insgesamt die Abstützhaken sehr rasch an die jeweilige Position bzw. Form der Weiche anpaßbar.The embodiment according to claim 2 advantageously enables a very simple and rapid displacement of the support hooks into a position located between the sleepers of the switch for a secure connection to the corresponding rail section. Overall, the support hooks can thus be adapted very quickly to the respective position or shape of the switch.

Mit der Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3 ist die zu transportierende Weiche in ihren beiden Längsendbereichen für einen sicheren Transport mit dem Abstützrahmen verbindbar.With the development according to claim 3, the switch to be transported can be connected to the support frame in its two longitudinal end regions for safe transport.

Die Ausgestaltung gemäß Anspruch 4 ermöglicht unter uneingeschränkter Verschiebbarkeit in Wagenlängsrichtung eine sehr hohe Kraftübertragung zum Einhängen auch schwerster Weichen, wobei mit der hakenförmigen Ausbildung automatisch ein Abgleiten der Weiche zuverlässig ausgeschlossen wird.The embodiment according to claim 4 enables unrestricted displaceability in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle a very high power transmission for hanging even the heaviest turnouts, with the hook-shaped design automatically preventing the turnout from sliding off.

Die weitere Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 5 stellt automatisch ein Einhaken der Schienenfußkante am Abstützhaken sicher, so daß ohne zeitaufwendige Sicherungsarbeiten eine stabile Verbindung gewährleistet ist.The further embodiment according to claim 5 automatically ensures that the rail foot edge is hooked onto the support hook, so that a stable connection is ensured without time-consuming securing work.

Die Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 6 ermöglicht unter Vermeidung einer weiten Distanzierung der Anlenkstelle vom Fahrzeugrahmen eine problemlose Umlenkung bei günstiger Kraftübertragung der Antriebe auf den Abstützrahmen.The development according to claim 6 enables avoidance of a wide distancing of the articulation point from the vehicle frame, a problem-free deflection with favorable power transmission of the drives to the support frame.

Ein nach Anspruch 7 ausgebildeter Abstützrahmen ermöglicht eine optimale Ausnützung der Baulänge des Transportwagens zum Transport besonders langer Weichenabschnitte.A support frame designed according to claim 7 enables optimal use of the overall length of the transport carriage for transporting particularly long switch sections.

Mit den Blockierstangen gemäß Anspruch 8 sind die zur Verschwenkung vorgesehenen Antriebe für einen besonders sicheren Weichentransport entlastbar, wobei auch eventuelle Ausfälle des Hydrauliksystems keine Lageänderung der Weiche bewirken.With the blocking rods according to claim 8, the drives provided for pivoting can be relieved for a particularly safe turnout transport, and any failures of the hydraulic system do not change the position of the turnout.

Eine Motoranordnung gemäß Anspruch 9 ermöglicht ohne Beeinträchtigung des Abstützrahmens eine weitestgehende Ausnützung der gesamten Baulänge des Fahrzeugrahmens für den Weichentransport.A motor arrangement according to claim 9 enables the greatest possible utilization of the entire length of the vehicle frame for the turnout transport without impairing the support frame.

Der spezielle Querschnitt des Fahrzeugrahmens ermöglicht einerseits eine hohe Biegefestigkeit und andererseits auch eine ungestörte Verschwenkung des Abstützrahmens mitsamt der mit diesem verbundenen Weiche um die Anlenkstelle.The special cross-section of the vehicle frame on the one hand enables high bending strength and on the other hand also undisturbed pivoting of the support frame together with the switch connected to it around the articulation point.

Die Weiterbildung des Transportwagens nach Anspruch 11 sichert eine rasche und einfach durchführbare Anpassung der Breite der Ladeplattform an die jeweilige Form der zu transportierenden Weiche für deren bestmögliche Abstützung.The development of the trolley according to claim 11 ensures a quick and easy adjustment of the width of the loading platform to the respective shape of the switch to be transported for the best possible support.

Schließlich weist die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 12 noch den Vorteil auf, daß die Schwellen bei Schräglage der Weiche noch besser auf der Ladeplattform abgestützt sind.Finally, the development according to claim 12 has the advantage that the sleepers are even better supported on the loading platform when the switch is inclined.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Transportwagen 1 weist einen langgestreckten, balkenförmig ausgebildeten Fahrzeugrahmen 2 auf, der endseitig jeweils mit einem Schienenfahrwerk 3 zum Verfahren auf einem aus Schienen und Schwellen gebildeten Gleis 4 verbunden ist. Am Fahrzeugrahmen 2 ist eine aus einer fachwerkartigen Rahmenkonstruktion gebildete Ladeplattform 5 verschwenkbar gelagert und mit einem Weichen-Gleisjoch 6 verbunden, das der besseren Übersicht halber lediglich in den Umrissen mit strichpunktierten Linien dargestellt ist.The transport carriage 1 shown in FIG. 1 has an elongated, bar-shaped vehicle frame 2, which is connected at the end to a rail carriage 3 for moving on a track 4 formed from rails and sleepers. On the vehicle frame 2, a loading platform 5 formed from a truss-like frame construction is pivotally mounted and connected to a switch track yoke 6, which is shown only in the outline with dash-dotted lines for the sake of clarity.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ist die Ladeplattform 5 um eine in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Schwenkachse 7 verschwenkbar mit dem Fahrzeugrahmen 2 verbunden, die von einer in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden vertikalen Summetrieebene 8 in Querrichtung distanziert im oberen Eckbereich des einen trapezförmigen, sich nach oben zu verjüngenden Querschnitt aufweisenden Fahrzeugrahmens 2 angeordnet ist. Zur Durchführung der Schwenkbewegung ist eine Anzahl von in Wagenlängsrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Antrieben 9 vorgesehen. Diese mit einer teleskopartig verlängerbaren Kolbenstange ausgebildeten Hydraulik-Antriebe 9 sind im unteren, der Schwenkachse 7 in Wagenquerrichtung gegenüberliegenden Eckbereich des Fahrzeugrahmens 2 gelagert und durch das kolbenseitige Ende mit dem der Schwenkachse 7 gegenüberliegenden Endbereich der Ladeplattform 5 verbunden. Die aus einer Rahmenkonstruktion gebildete Ladeplattform 5 besteht aus quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden, kastenförmigen Querholmen 10, die durch Längsholme 11 miteinander verbunden sind. In jedem Endbereich eines Querholmes 10 steckt ein in dessen Längsrichtung verschiebbarer Tragarm 12, der durch Bolzen in verschiedenen Verschiebestellungen arretierbar ist. Die der Schwenkachse 7 näher gelegenen, in hochgeschwenkter Lage der Ladeplattform 5 unteren Tragarme 12 sind durch eine winkelförmige Leiste 13 zur Auflage der Stirnflächen der Schwellen 14 miteinander verbunden.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the loading platform 5 is pivotally connected to the vehicle frame 2 about a pivot axis 7 running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, which is spaced transversely from a vertical summing plane 8 running in the longitudinal direction of the carriage in the upper corner region of the one trapezoidal shape which tapers upwards Cross-section vehicle frame 2 is arranged. A number of drives 9 arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the carriage are provided for carrying out the pivoting movement. These hydraulic drives 9, which are designed with a telescopically extendable piston rod, are mounted in the lower corner region of the vehicle frame 2 opposite the pivot axis 7 in the transverse direction of the carriage and are connected by the end on the piston side to the end region of the loading platform 5 opposite the pivot axis 7. The loading platform 5 formed from a frame construction consists of box-shaped cross bars 10 which run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the wagon and are connected to one another by longitudinal bars 11. In each end region of a cross member 10 there is a support arm 12 which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction thereof and which can be locked in different displacement positions by means of bolts. The lower support arms 12, which are closer to the pivot axis 7 and in the pivoted-up position of the loading platform 5, are connected to one another by an angular bar 13 for supporting the end faces of the sleepers 14.

Vor der Übernahme des Gleisjoches 6 befindet sich die Ladeplattform 5 in der durch strichpunktierte Linien (Fig. 2) angedeuteten horizontalen Position. Durch bekannte Gleisjoch-Verladeeinrichtungen, wie z.B. einen Kran od.dgl., wird nun das zu transportierende Gleisjoch 6 auf die Ladeplattform 5 aufgelegt und durch geeignete Befestigungsmittel mit dieser verbunden. Dabei liegen die Schwellen mit ihren der Schwenkachse 7 näheren Stirnflächen auf der winkelförmigen Leiste 13 auf. Anschließend wird die Ladeplattform 5 mitsamt dem Gleisjoch 6 unter Beaufschlagung der Antriebe 9 in die mit vollen Linien dargestellte Transportlage hochgeschwenkt und in dieser Stellung zur Gleisumbaulücke transportiert, wobei sich das Gleisjoch 6 noch innerhalb des durch strichpunktierte Linien angedeuten Regellichtraumprofils 15 befindet. Unmittelbar vor der Gleisumbaulücke wird die Ladeplattform 5 mitsamt dem Gleisjoch 6 wieder in die horizontale Lage zurückverschwenkt, in der schließlich das Gleisjoch 6 durch eine geeignete Verlegeeinrichtung erfaßt und die Umbaulücke abgelegt wird.Before the take-over of the track yoke 6, the loading platform 5 is in the horizontal position indicated by dash-dotted lines (FIG. 2). Through known Gleisjoch loading devices, e.g. a crane or the like, the track yoke 6 to be transported is now placed on the loading platform 5 and connected to it by suitable fastening means. The sleepers lie with their end faces closer to the pivot axis 7 on the angular bar 13. Subsequently, the loading platform 5, together with the track yoke 6, is swung up into the transport position shown with solid lines, and is transported in this position to the track construction gap, the track yoke 6 still being located within the control space profile 15 indicated by dash-dotted lines. Immediately in front of the track construction gap, the loading platform 5 together with the track yoke 6 is pivoted back into the horizontal position, in which the track yoke 6 is finally gripped by a suitable laying device and the conversion gap is deposited.

Der in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellte Transportwagen 16 setzt sich wesentlichen aus endseitig angeordneten und durch einen balkenförmig ausgebildenten Fahrzeugrahmen 17 miteinander verbundenen Schienenfahrwerken 18 zusammen. Zur Energieversorgung für die verschiedenen Antriebe ist ein Motor 19 vorgesehen, der unmittelbar neben einem der beiden Schienenfahrwerke 18 an einer Längsseite des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 befestigt ist. An jedem Längsende des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 ist eine Pufferbrust 20 mit Puffern 21 sowie - nicht dargestellten - Zugvorrichtung vorgesehen. Mit 44 sind am Fahrzeugrahmen 17 befestigte Laschen bezeichnet, die mit Blockierstangen 41 verbindbar sind.The transport carriage 16 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 essentially consists of rail carriages 18 which are arranged at the ends and are connected to one another by a beam-shaped vehicle frame 17. A motor 19 is provided for the energy supply for the various drives, and is attached directly to one of the two rail bogies 18 on a long side of the vehicle frame 17. At each longitudinal end of the vehicle frame 17, a buffer breast 20 with buffers 21 and - not shown - pulling device is provided. With 44 attached to the vehicle frame 17 tabs are referred to, which can be connected with blocking rods 41.

Wie in Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ist der Transportwagen 16 mit einer in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufenden Verschwenkeinrichtung 22 verschwenkbar verbunden. Diese besteht aus einem fachwerkartig aus einer Vielzahl von verschiedenen Stützelementen 23 zusammengesetzten Abstützrahmen 24, der im Bereich von Anlenkstellen 25 um eine in Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 verbundene Achse verschwenkbar mit diesem verbunden ist. Der Abstützrahmen 24 ist mit Hilfe von Antrieben 26 um die erwähnte Achse verschwenkbar. Jeder Antrieb 26 ist auf an einer Längsseite des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 befestigen Laschen 27 verschwenkbar gelagert. Die in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufen Stützelemente 23 weisen jeweils einem T-förmigen Querschnitt auf und sind mit einer Vielzahl von Abstützhaken 28 verbunden.. Diese sind beliebig entlang der genannten Stützelemente 23 in Wagenlängsrichtung verschiebbar. Der Abstützrahmen 24 ist der besseren Übersicht wegen in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellt.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the transport carriage 16 is pivotably connected to a pivoting device 22 running in its longitudinal direction. This consists of a support frame 24 composed of a plurality of different support elements 23 in the manner of a truss, which is pivotably connected to the latter in the region of articulation points 25 about an axis connected in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame 17. The support frame 24 can be pivoted about the axis mentioned with the aid of drives 26. Each drive 26 is pivotally mounted on tabs 27 fastened to a longitudinal side of the vehicle frame 17. The support elements 23 running in the longitudinal direction of the machine each have a T-shaped cross section and are connected to a large number of support hooks 28. These can be moved as desired along the mentioned support elements 23 in the longitudinal direction of the carriage. The support frame 24 is not shown in FIG. 4 because of the better overview.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtlich, weist der Fahrzeugrahmen 17 einen trapezförmigen Querschnitt mit einer oberen und die Anlenkstelle aufweisenden Schmalseite 29 und einer unteren, unterhalb der Achsen 30 der Schienenfahrwerke 18 gelegen Breitseite 31 auf. Während die Laschen 27 zur Anlenkung der Antriebe 26 im unteren Endbereich einer Längsseite 32 des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 angeordnet sind, befinden sich die Anlenkstellen 25 zur verschwenkbaren Lagerung des Abstützrahmens 24 im Übergangsbereich zwischen Schmalseite 29 und einer zweiten Längsseite 33.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 5 and 6, the vehicle frame 17 has a trapezoidal cross section with an upper narrow side 29 and the articulation point and a lower broad side 31 located below the axes 30 of the rail bogies 18. While the tabs 27 for articulating the drives 26 are arranged in the lower end region of a long side 32 of the vehicle frame 17, the articulation points 25 for the pivotable mounting of the support frame 24 are in the transition region between the narrow side 29 and a second long side 33.

Der Abstützrahmen 24 ist in seiner horizontalen, mit strichpunktierten Linien dargestellten Position unter Bildung eines kurzen Abschnittes 34 und eines langen Abschnittes 35 asymmetrisch in bezug auf die Längsmittellinie des Fahrzeugrahmens 17 angeordnet. Im Bereich der beiden Schienenfahrwerke 18 weist der Abstützrahmen 24 lediglich einen langen Abschnitt 35 auf (siehe Fig. 3).The support frame 24 is arranged asymmetrically with respect to the longitudinal center line of the vehicle frame 17 in its horizontal position shown with dash-dotted lines, forming a short section 34 and a long section 35. In the area of the two rail bogies 18, the support frame 24 has only one long section 35 (see FIG. 3).

Wie bereits erwähnt, weisen die in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Stützelemente 23 einen T-förmigen Querschnitt auf und sind wahlweise mit Abstützhaken 28 verbindbar. Diese weisen jeweils eine senkrecht zu einer durch die Stützelemente 23 gebildeten Rahmenebene 36 verlaufende Abstützfläche 47 auf, die in ihrem von der Rahmenebene 36 weiter distanzierten Endbereich mit einem in der erwähnten Ebene verlaufenden Begrenzungselement 37 verbunden ist. Die Distanz zwischen einem Begrenzungselement 37 und einer als Auflage einer zu transportierenden (mit strichpunktierten Linie dargestellten) Weiche dienenden Auflagerfläche 38 ist entsprechend dem Abstand zwischen der Oberkannte eines Schienenfußes 39 und der Schwellenunterkannte 40 ausgebildet. Zwischen dem hochgeschwenkten Abstützrahmen 24 und dem Fahrzeugrahmen 17 sind zusätzlich zu dem Antrieben 26 noch in gleichmäßigen Abständen voneinander distanzierte Blockierstangen 41 lösbar befestigt.As already mentioned, the support elements 23 extending in the longitudinal direction of the carriage have a T-shaped cross section and can optionally be connected to support hooks 28. These each have a support surface 47 running perpendicular to a frame plane 36 formed by the support elements 23, which is connected in its end region, which is further distanced from the frame plane 36, to a limiting element 37 running in the plane mentioned. The distance between a delimiting element 37 and a support surface 38 serving as a support for a switch to be transported (shown with a dash-dotted line) is designed in accordance with the distance between the upper edge of a rail foot 39 and the lower threshold 40. Between the pivoted support frame 24 and the vehicle frame 17, in addition to the drives 26, blocking rods 41, which are spaced apart from one another at regular intervals, are detachably fastened.

Eine zum Beispiel neue Weiche 42 (Fig. 5) wird durch eine geeignete Vorrichtung auf den in horizontaler Lage befindlichen Abstützrahmen 24 aufgelegt. Dabei wird die Weiche 42 unter geringfügiger Distanzierung vom Abstützrahmen 24 so lange relativ zu diesem verschoben, bis auch die längsten Schwellen auf dem Abstützrahmen 24 zu liegen kommen. Gleichzeitig werden verschiedene Abstützhaken 28 so lange auf den Gleitleisten 43 verschoben, bis die Haken an geeigneter Stelle zum Erfassen des Schienenfußes der Weiche 42 zu liegen kommen. Anschließend wird die Weiche 42 auf den Abstützrahmen 24 bzw. die Auflagerfläche 38 aufgelegt. Durch Beaufschlagung der Antriebe 26 erfolgt anschließend ein Hochschwenken des Abstützrahmens 24 mitsamt der Weiche 42, die sich mit zunehmender Neigung mit den entsprechenden Schienenfußabschnitten auf der Abstützfläche 47 der Haken 28 abstützt.For example, a new switch 42 (FIG. 5) is placed on the support frame 24 in a horizontal position by a suitable device. The switch 42 is displaced relative to the support frame 24 with slight spacing until the longest sleepers come to rest on the support frame 24. At the same time, various support hooks 28 are moved on the slide strips 43 until the hooks come to rest at a suitable point for gripping the rail foot of the switch 42. The switch 42 is then placed on the support frame 24 or the bearing surface 38. When the drives 26 are acted upon, the support frame 24, together with the switch 42, is then pivoted upward, which, with increasing inclination, is supported on the support surface 47 of the hooks 28 with the corresponding rail foot sections.

Nach Erreichen der äußersten hochgeschwenkten Lage (Fig. 5 und 6) befindet sich die Weiche 42 in ihrem gesamten Bereich innerhalb des Lichtraumprofils. Der Verschwenkwinkel von der horizontalen in die nahezu vertikale Lage beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 80°. Zur Entlastung der Antriebe 26 werden die Blockierstangen 41 mit am Fahrzeugrahmen 17 bzw. am Abstützrahmen 24 befestigten Laschen 44,45 lösbar verbunden. Der Transportwagen 16 wird mitsamt der hochgestellten Weiche 42 mit Hilfe einer entsprechenden Zugmaschine zur Gleisbaustelle verfahren, wo nach Entfernung der Blockierstangen 41 eine Verschwenkung der Weiche 42 in die horizontale Lage erfolgt. Nach der Entfernung der Weiche 42 kann beispielsweise eine aus der Gleislücke entfernte alte Weiche auf den Abstützrahmen 24 aufgelegt und in der beschriebenen Art und Weise abtransportiert werden.After reaching the outermost pivoted position (FIGS. 5 and 6), the switch 42 is in its entire area within the clearance profile. The pivot angle from the horizontal to the almost vertical position is preferably approximately 80 °. To relieve the drives 26, the blocking rods 41 are releasably connected to brackets 44, 45 fastened to the vehicle frame 17 or to the support frame 24. The transport carriage 16 is moved together with the raised switch 42 with the aid of a corresponding tractor to the track construction site, where after the blocking rods 41 have been removed, the switch 42 is pivoted into the horizontal position. After removal of the switch 42, for example, an old switch removed from the track gap can be placed on the support frame 24 and transported away in the manner described.

Die in Fig. 7 ersichtliche schematische Darstellung zeigt den Transport einer geteilten Weiche 42 mit einem Stelltrieb, wobei der Abstützrahmen der besseren Übersicht halber weggelassen wurde.The schematic representation shown in FIG. 7 shows the transport of a split switch 42 with an actuator, the support frame being omitted for the sake of clarity.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine weitere Transportvariante mit einer besonders lang ausgebildeten Weiche 42, die mit ihren beiden Längsenden über die Puffer des Transportwagens 16 vorragt. Zum Schutz der vorragenden Weichenabschnitte ist der Transportwagen 16 an beiden Enden jeweils mit einem Schutzwagen 46 verbunden.8 shows a further transport variant with a particularly long switch 42 which projects with its two longitudinal ends over the buffers of the transport carriage 16. To protect the protruding switch sections, the transport carriage 16 is connected at both ends to a protective carriage 46.
