Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verladewagen für Schüttgut mit einem auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Fahrgestellrahmen und einem mit diesem verbundenen Wagenkasten, der eine in dessen Bodenbereich befindliche Fördereinrichtung zum Transport des Schüttgutes in Wagenlängsrichtung aufweist, sowie mit einem um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkbar am Fahrgestellrahmen gelagerten, an die bodenseitige Fördereinrichtung anschließenden Übergabeförderband, wobei dieses bzw. ein - in Wagenlängsrichtung am dem Übergabeförderband gegenüberliegenden Ende des Verladewagens befindlicher - Aufnahmebereich des Wagenkastens eine Zentriervorrichtung zur lösbaren Verbindung des freien und vorkragenden Endes des Übergabeförderbandes mit dem Aufnahmebereich eines weiteren angekuppelten Verladewagens aufweist.The invention relates to a loading wagon for bulk goods with a chassis frame supported on rail bogies and a wagon body connected to the latter, which has a conveying device located in the bottom area thereof for transporting the bulk goods in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, and with a pivotable about a vertical axis on the chassis frame, on the bottom side Conveying device subsequent transfer conveyor belt, this or a receiving area of the car body - located in the longitudinal direction of the end of the loading wagon opposite the transfer conveyor belt - has a centering device for releasably connecting the free and projecting end of the transfer conveyor belt to the receiving area of a further coupled loading wagon.

Durch die US-PS 4,576,538 ist bereits ein derartiger Verladewagen bekannt, der in besonders vorteilhafter Weise mit anderen gleichartigen Verladewagen zu einem Verladezug verbunden wird. Dabei ragt jeweils das Übergabeförderband über den Wagenkasten des angeschlossenen Verladewagens, so daß dieser mit Hilfe des vorkragenden Förderbandes befüllbar ist. Mit einem derartigen, durch eine entsprechende Anzahl von Verladewagen beliebig verlängerbaren Verladezug ist es möglich, das beispielsweise durch eine Schotterbett-Reinigungsmaschine anfallende Schüttgut von einem Ende des Verladezuges über die jeweiligen Boden- und Übergabeförderbänder bis zum vordersten Verladewagen zu transportieren und in diesem zu speichern. Das vorkragende Übergabeförderband ist durch eine Zentriervorrichtung mit dem Aufnahmebereich des anschließenden Wagenkastens verbunden, so daß auch in Gleisbögen eine automatische Verschwenkung des Übergabeförderbandes um seine vertikale Achse erzielbar ist.Such a loading wagon is already known from US Pat. No. 4,576,538, which is connected in a particularly advantageous manner to other loading wagons of the same type to form a loading train. In each case, the transfer conveyor belt projects above the body of the connected loading wagon, so that it can be filled with the aid of the projecting conveyor belt. With such a loading train, which can be extended as required by a corresponding number of loading wagons, it is possible to transport and store the bulk goods, for example, from a ballast bed cleaning machine, from one end of the loading train via the respective floor and transfer conveyor belts to the foremost loading wagon. The projecting transfer conveyor belt is connected by a centering device to the receiving area of the adjoining car body, so that an automatic pivoting of the transfer conveyor belt about its vertical axis can also be achieved in track bends.

Damit ist sichergestellt, daß sich der Abwurfbereich des Übergabeförderbandes immer etwa mittig in bezug auf den anschließenden Wagenkasten befindet. In Gleisbögen mit starken Querneigungen besteht jedoch das Problem, daß trotz der mittigen Zentrierung des Übergabeförderbandes mit Hilfe der Zentriervorrichtung das Schüttgut im Bereich des Bodenförderbandes außermittig zu liegen kommt.This ensures that the discharge area of the transfer conveyor belt is always approximately in the middle with respect to the adjoining car body. In track arches with strong cross inclinations, however, there is the problem that, despite the centering of the transfer conveyor belt in the center, the bulk material comes to lie off-center in the area of the floor conveyor belt.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung eines Verladewagens der eingangs beschriebenen Art, der auch in Gleisabschnitten mit erhöhter Querneigung in Verbindung mit einem weiteren derartigen Verladewagen eine problemlose kontinuierliche Übergabe des Schüttgutes ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to create a loading wagon of the type described in the introduction which, even in track sections with an increased transverse inclination in connection with a further loading wagon of this type, enables problem-free continuous transfer of the bulk material.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Zentriervorrichtung quer zur Längsrichtung des Verladewagens bzw. des Übergabeförderbandes verschiebbar gelagert und mit einem fernsteuerbaren Querverschiebeantrieb verbunden ist. Mit dieser konstruktiv sehr einfachen Lösung ist nun der Abwurfbereich des Übergabeförderbandes mit Hilfe der Zentriervorrichtung wahlweise so weit außermittig in bezug auf den anschließenden Verladewagen verschwenkbar, daß auch in Gleisabschnitten mit starken Querneigungen das Schüttgut mittig auf die im Bodenbereich befindliche Fördereinrichtung auftrifft. Damit wird insbesondere beim Durchtransport des Schüttgutes durch mehrere in einem Querneigungsbereich befindliche Verladewagen eine immer stärker werdende seitliche Schüttgutverlagerung zuverlässig ausgeschlossen.This object is achieved in that the centering device is displaceably mounted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the loading wagon or the transfer conveyor belt and is connected to a remote-controllable transverse displacement drive. With this structurally very simple solution, the discharge area of the transfer conveyor belt can now optionally be pivoted so far off-center with respect to the subsequent loading wagon with the aid of the centering device that the bulk material hits the conveyor located in the floor area in the middle, even in track sections with strong transverse inclinations. In this way, in particular when the bulk material is being transported through several loading wagons located in a bank area, an ever increasing lateral bulk material displacement is reliably excluded.

Durch die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 2 besteht für die Bedienungsperson bei ständiger ungehinderter Beobachtung des Verschwenkvorganges die Möglichkeit, den Querverschiebeantrieb so lange zu beaufschlagen, bis das vom Übergabeförderband abgeworfene Schüttgut genau mittig in bezug auf die im Bodenbereich befindliche Fördereinrichtung zu liegen kommt.Due to the design of the invention according to claim 2, the operator has the possibility, with constant unimpeded observation of the pivoting process, to act on the transverse displacement drive until the bulk material thrown off the transfer conveyor belt comes to rest exactly in the middle of the conveyor located in the floor area.

Die weitere Ausbildung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 3 ermöglicht bei einer uneingeschränkten Abstützung des Übergabeförderbandes und einer ungehinderten, mit der Verschwenkbewegung in Gleisbögen in Verbindung stehenden Längsverschiebung in bezug auf die am Wagenkasten befindliche Zentriervorrichtung auch eine gesicherte Übertragung der Querverschiebekräfte vom Querverschiebeantrieb auf die beiden Abstützleisten.The further embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 enables an unrestricted support of the transfer conveyor belt and an unimpeded longitudinal displacement in connection with the pivoting movement in track bends in relation to the centering device located on the car body also a secure transmission of the transverse displacement forces from the transverse displacement drive to the two support strips.

Ist die Zentriervorrichtung im freien, über eine Pufferbrust vorkragenden Endbereich des Übergabeförderbandes an dessen Unterseite befestigt, so befindet sie sich dadurch in gegen Beschädigung besser geschützter Lage und ist - insbesondere bei einzelnen, nicht im Verband gekuppelten Wagen - auch gegen Witterungseinflüsse, wie Regen und Schnee, durch das Förderband abgeschirmt.If the centering device is attached to the underside of the free end area of the transfer conveyor belt, which protrudes over a buffer breast, it is in a better protected position against damage and is - especially for individual wagons that are not coupled - also against weather influences such as rain and snow , shielded by the conveyor belt.

Die in Anspruch 5 genannte Ausführungsform der Erfindung bietet den besonderen Vorteil, daß die Steuerung der Querverschiebung der Zentriervorrichtung nicht einer Bedienungsperson obliegen muß, sondern in viel zuverlässigerer sowie personalsparender Weise automatisch vonstatten gehen kann. Das Ausmaß der Querverschiebung wird dabei in Abhängigkeit von dem durch den Querneigungsmesser festgestellten Grad der Gleisüberhöhung automatisch geregelt.The embodiment of the invention mentioned in claim 5 has the particular advantage that the control of the transverse displacement of the centering device does not have to be incumbent on an operator, but can take place automatically in a much more reliable and personnel-saving manner. The extent of the transverse displacement is automatically regulated depending on the degree of track elevation determined by the bank gauge.

Durch die Anordnung gemäß Anspruch 6 wird sichergestellt, daß das auf der Zentriervorrichtung abgestützte Übergabeförderband durch plötzliche, unvorhergesehene Erschütterungen oder Stöße nicht aus seiner Position geworfen werden kann, wodurch Beschädigungen und auch Materialverluste zuverlässig vermieden werden.The arrangement according to claim 6 ensures that the transfer conveyor belt supported on the centering device cannot be thrown out of its position by sudden, unforeseen vibrations or impacts, thereby reliably avoiding damage and material losses.

Schließlich ermöglicht die in Anspruch 7 dargelegte Ausbildung der Erfindung den uneingeschränkten Einsatz des Übergabeförderbandes zur Entleerung des Verladewagens auch auf neben dem Gleis befindliche Deponien bzw. in auf einem Nachbargleis befindliche Transportwagen, ohne daß das Übergabeförderband vorher umständlich über die Klappen hinweg angehoben werden muß. Auch wird dadurch das Ineingriffbringen des Übergabeförderbandes mit der Zentriervorrichtung beim Kuppeln von mehreren Verladewagen erleichtert.Finally, the embodiment of the invention as set out in claim 7 enables the unrestricted use of the transfer conveyor belt for emptying the loading wagon onto landfills located next to the track or in transport wagons located on a neighboring track, without the transfer conveyor belt having to be laboriously raised above the flaps beforehand. This also makes it easier to engage the transfer conveyor belt with the centering device when coupling several loading wagons.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigen:

Show it:
  • 1 is a side view of a loading wagon equipped with a centering device according to the invention, which is coupled at the end with other such loading wagons to form an association,
  • FIG. 2 shows a detailed side view of the centering device according to FIGS. 1 and
  • Fig. 3 shows a section through a transfer conveyor belt or a view of the loading wagon according to arrow III in Fig. 1, wherein the car body (due to an elevation in the track curve) is shown slightly shifted from the vertical axis.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Verladewagen 1 für Schüttgut mit einem Fahrgestellrahmen 2, der über Schienenfahrwerke 3 auf einem Gleis 4 abgestützt bzw. verfahrbar ist. Mit dem Fahrgestellrahmen 2 ist ein Wagenkasten 5 mittels ungleich langer Stützen 6 derart verbunden, daß eine im Bodenbereich des oben und unten offenen Wagenkastens 5 befindliche, einen Antrieb aufweisende Fördereinrichtung 7 in einer - bezüglich der Förderrichtung des Schüttgutes - ansteigenden Ebene verläuft. Besagte Förderrichtung ist durch einen Pfeil 8 gekennzeichnet. An das vordere, höher gelegene Ende der Fördereinrichtung 7 schließt ein schräg verlaufendes, über eine Pufferbrust des Fahrgestellrahmens 2 vorkragendes und einen eigenen Antrieb aufweisendes Übergabeförderband 9 an, welches am Fahrgestellrahmen 2 gelagert und um eine vertikale Achse 10 mittels eines Antriebes 11 verschwenkbar ist, um auch in neben dem Gleis 4 liegende Bereiche Schüttgut abgeben zu können. Die Energieversorgung sämtlicher Antriebe bzw. Förderbänder des Verladewagens 1 erfolgt über eine Energiequelle 12. An beiden Enden des Verladewagens 1 sind jeweils weitere, mit diesem gekuppelte Verladewagen 1 teilweise sichtbar.Fig. 1 shows a loading wagon 1 for bulk goods with a chassis frame 2, which is supported or movable on a track 4 via rail bogies 3. A car body 5 is connected to the chassis frame 2 by means of supports 6 of unequal length in such a way that a car body 5 which is open in the bottom region of the car body 5 above and below located conveyor device 7 having a drive runs in a plane which rises with respect to the conveying direction of the bulk material. Said direction of conveyance is indicated by an arrow 8. At the front, higher end of the conveyor 7 there is an inclined transfer belt 9 projecting over a buffer breast of the chassis frame 2 and having its own drive, which is mounted on the chassis frame 2 and can be pivoted about a vertical axis 10 by means of a drive 11 to be able to dispense bulk goods also in areas adjacent to track 4. The energy supply to all drives or conveyor belts of the loading wagon 1 takes place via an energy source 12. At both ends of the loading wagon 1 further loading wagons 1 coupled with this are partially visible.

Am hinteren, dem Übergabeförderband 9 in Wagenlängsrichtung gegenüberliegenden Ende des Wagenkastens 5 befindet sich ein Aufnahmebereich 13, in dem Schüttgut vom Übergabeförderband 9 des nachgeordneten Verladewagens 1 auf die Fördereinrichtung 7 abgeworfen wird. Zum Zwecke der lösbaren Verbindung des Übergabeförderbandes 9 mit dem Wagenkasten 5 des vorgeordneten Verladewagens 1 dient eine im Aufnahmebereich 13 angeordnete Zentriervorrichtung 14, deren konstruktiver Aufbau aus den Fig. 2 und 3 genauer zu ersehen ist.At the rear end of the car body 5, which is opposite the transfer conveyor belt 9 in the longitudinal direction of the car, there is a receiving area 13 in which bulk material is dropped from the transfer conveyor belt 9 of the downstream loading car 1 onto the conveyor device 7. For the purpose of releasable connection of the transfer conveyor belt 9 to the car body 5 of the upstream loading wagon 1, a centering device 14 is arranged in the receiving area 13, the construction of which can be seen in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Wie speziell aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, weist die Zentriervorrichtung 14 zwei in einem etwa der Breite eines Übergabeförderbandes 9 entsprechenden Abstand voneinander distanzierte Rollen 15 auf, die um eine horizontale, quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse rotierbar und zur Auflage des Übergabeförderbandes 9 vorgesehen sind. Die Rollen 15 sind über Achslager 16 auf einer gemeinsamen Gleitschiene 17 befestigt, die in einer nutartigen Führung 18 verschiebbar gelagert ist. Letztere ist im Bereich einer hinteren Stirnwand 19 des Wagenkastens 5 mit diesem verbunden und erstreckt sich quer zur Wagenlängsrichtung bzw. horizontal über die gesamte Breite des Wagenkastens 5. Ein mit seinem zylinderseitigen Ende ebenfalls an der Stirnwand 19 angeordneter Querverschiebeantrieb 20 ist kolbenseitig mit der Gleitschiene 17 verbunden und dient zur Querverschiebung der Zentriervorrichtung 14 (siehe strichpunktiert gezeigte Stellung rechts in Fig.3). Zu diesem Zweck ist der Querverschiebeantrieb 20 mit einer im gegenüberliegenden, vorderen Endbereich des Wagenkastens 5 befindlichen Fernsteuerung 21 verbunden und von einer dort plazierten Bedienungsperson betätigbar.As can be seen particularly from FIG. 3, the centering device 14 has two rollers 15 spaced apart from one another by approximately the width of a transfer conveyor belt 9, which rollers are rotatable about a horizontal axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the carriage and are provided for supporting the transfer conveyor belt 9. The rollers 15 are fixed via axle bearings 16 on a common slide rail 17, which is in a groove-like Guide 18 is slidably mounted. The latter is connected to the latter in the region of a rear end wall 19 of the car body 5 and extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the car or horizontally over the entire width of the car body 5. A transverse displacement drive 20, which is also arranged on the end wall 19 at its cylinder end, is on the piston side with the slide rail 17 connected and serves for transverse displacement of the centering device 14 (see the position shown in dash-dotted lines on the right in FIG. 3). For this purpose, the transverse slide drive 20 is connected to a remote control 21 located in the opposite front end region of the car body 5 and can be actuated by an operator placed there.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, sind an der Unterseite des freien, vorkragenden Endes des Übergabeförderbandes 9 zwei in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufende und in Förderbandquerrichtung voneinander distanzierte Abstützleisten 22 angeordnet, die zur Auflage auf jeweils eine der Rollen 15 der Zentriervorrichtung 14 des vorgeordneten Verladewagens 1 vorgesehen sind. Die Länge dieser Abstützleisten 22 ist so bemessen, daß auch bei einer maximalen, in Gleisbögen auftretenden Längsverlagerung der Abstützleiste 22 gegenüber der zugeordneten Rolle 15 der Zentriervorrichtung 14 in jedem Fall die sichere Auflage des Übergabeförderbandes 9 gewährleistet bleibt.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, on the underside of the free, projecting end of the transfer conveyor belt 9 there are two support strips 22 which run in its longitudinal direction and are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt and which each rest on one of the rollers 15 of the centering device 14 of the upstream loading vehicle 1 are provided. The length of these support strips 22 is dimensioned such that the maximum support of the transfer conveyor belt 9 is guaranteed in any case, even with a maximum longitudinal displacement of the support strip 22 relative to the assigned roller 15 of the centering device 14, which occurs in track bends.

An jedem Ende der Gleitschiene 17 ist diese ferner - im an die Rollen 15 anschließenden Bereich - mit jeweils einer Klappe 23 ausgestattet. Diese sind um eine etwa in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse 28 verschwenkbar ausgebildet und können mittels eines Arretierbolzens 24 entweder in einer vertikalen oder in einer horizontal umgeklappten Lage fixiert werden. In ihrer vertikalen Lage ist die Distanz der beiden Klappen 23 zueinander etwas größer als die Breite des Übergabeförderbandes 9; die Klappen 23 dienen in dieser Stellung zur Anlage an eine Seitenwand 25 des Übergabeförderbandes 9, um dessen Verschwenkweg um die Achse 10 zu limitieren. Sind die Klappen 23 in der horizontalen Position arretiert (siehe strichpunktierte Stellung links in Fig.3), so kann das Übergabeförderband 9 frei zur Seite ausgeschwenkt werden, um fallweise Schüttgut auch seitlich neben das Gleis 4 abzugeben. Zur besseren Bedienbarkeit sind die Klappen 23 mit Griffen 26 versehen.At each end of the slide rail 17, this is further equipped with a flap 23 in the area adjoining the rollers 15. These are designed to be pivotable about an axis 28 extending approximately in the longitudinal direction of the carriage and can be fixed in a vertical or in a horizontally folded position by means of a locking bolt 24. In their vertical Position, the distance between the two flaps 23 to each other is slightly larger than the width of the transfer conveyor belt 9; In this position, the flaps 23 are used to bear against a side wall 25 of the transfer conveyor belt 9 in order to limit its pivoting path about the axis 10. If the flaps 23 are locked in the horizontal position (see dash-dotted position on the left in FIG. 3), the transfer conveyor belt 9 can be swiveled freely to the side in order to dispense bulk material laterally next to the track 4. The flaps 23 are provided with handles 26 for better operability.

Im Regelfall erfolgt die Querverschiebung der Zentriervorrichtung 14 und somit des Übergabeförderbandes 9 von einer Bedienungsperson an Hand der Fernsteuerung 21, wobei sich besagte Bedienungsperson am vorderen Ende des Wagenkastens 5 befindet und den Aufnahmebereich 13 beobachtet. Wenn sich beim Arbeiten in Gleisbögen der Schüttkegel im Wagenkasten 5 auf Grund der Querneigung mehr zur tiefer gelegenen Schiene (in Fig.3 rechts) hin verlagert, dann wird ferngesteuert der Querverschiebeantrieb 20 betätigt und die Zentriervorrichtung 14 mit dem Übergabeförderband 9 so weit in Richtung zur höher gelegenen Schiene (in Fig.3 nach links) seitlich verschoben, bis der mit strichlierten Linien in Fig.3 angedeutete Schüttkegel wieder auf der Fördereinrichtung 7 mittig zentriert ist. Diese Querverschiebung kann aber auch auf andere Art kontrolliert werden, z.B. an Hand eines Querneigungsmessers 27, welcher auf dem Verladewagen 1 angebracht ist und dessen seitliche Neigung in Gleisbögen mißt; davon ausgehend wird das Ausmaß der Querverschiebung der Zentriervorrichtung 14 bzw. des Übergabeförderbandes 9 automatisch entsprechend festgelegter Parameter gesteuert. Mit 29 ist eine lotrechte Linie dargestellt, die bezüglich des Abwurfbereiches des Übergabeförderbandes 9 und der bodenseitigen Fördereinrichtung 7 mittig verläuft.As a rule, the transverse displacement of the centering device 14 and thus of the transfer conveyor belt 9 is carried out by an operator using the remote control 21, the operator being located at the front end of the car body 5 and observing the receiving area 13. If the working cone in the car body 5 shifts more to the lower rail (in Fig. 3 on the right) when working in track arches, then the transverse sliding drive 20 is actuated remotely and the centering device 14 with the transfer conveyor belt 9 so far in the direction of higher-lying rail (to the left in FIG. 3) laterally shifted until the pouring cone indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 3 is centered again on the conveying device 7. This transverse displacement can, however, also be checked in another way, for example using a transverse inclinometer 27, which is attached to the loading wagon 1 and measures its lateral inclination in track arches; on this basis, the extent of the transverse displacement of the centering device 14 or of the transfer conveyor belt 9 is automatically controlled in accordance with defined parameters. A vertical line is shown at 29, which runs in the center with respect to the discharge area of the transfer conveyor belt 9 and the conveyor device 7 on the bottom.

Das Bezugszeichen 30 bezieht sich auf eine in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Symmetrieebene des Verladewagens 1, die auf Grund der Querneigung des Gleises von der lotrechten Linie 29 abweicht.The reference numeral 30 relates to a plane of symmetry of the loading wagon 1 which runs in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and which deviates from the vertical line 29 due to the transverse inclination of the track.

Die möglichen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung beschränken sich nicht nur auf das in den Zeichnungen dargestellte Beispiel. So kann die Zentriervorrichtung anstatt im Aufnahmebereich des Wagenkastens beispielsweise auch an der Unterseite des freien, über eine Pufferbrust vorkragenden Endbereiches des Übergabeförderbandes befestigt sein.The possible embodiments of the invention are not limited to the example shown in the drawings. For example, instead of in the receiving area of the car body, the centering device can also be attached to the underside of the free end area of the transfer conveyor belt projecting over a buffer breast.

  1. A loading wagon for bulk material with a chassis frame (2) supported on on-track undercarriages and a wagon body (5) connected thereto having a conveyor device (7) located in its base region for transporting bulk material in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, and with a transfer conveyor belt (9) mounted on the chassis frame so as to be swivellable about a vertical axis (10) and adjoining the conveyor device at the base, wherein the said transfer conveyor belt or an intake area (13) of the wagon body, located at the end of the loading wagon opposite the transfer conveyor belt in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, has a centreing device (14) to provide a separable connection between the free and projecting end of the transfer conveyor belt and the intake area of another loading wagon (1) coupled to the loading wagon, characterised in that the centreing device (14) is mounted so as to be displaceable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the loading wagon (1) and of the transfer conveyor belt (9), and is connected to a remotely controllable transverse displacement drive (20).
  2. A loading wagon according to claim 1, characterised in that the centreing device (14) is secured to the wagon body (5) in the intake area (13) of the wagon body and the remote control (21) for operating the transverse displacement drive (20) is arranged in the end region of the wagon body (5) opposite the centreing device (14).
  3. A loading wagon according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that, on the underside of the free end area of the transfer conveyor belt (9), two support strips (22), spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt and extending in the longitudinal direction of the transfer conveyor belt, are provided for support on the centreing device (14) located on a preceding loading wagon in the transporting direction of the bulk material.
  4. A loading wagon according to claim 1, characterised in that the centreing device (14) is secured in the free end area of the transfer conveyor belt (9) projecting over a buffer beam to the underside of the said transfer conveyor belt.
  5. A loading wagon according to one of claims 1 to 4, characterised in that the transverse displacement drive (20) for the transverse displacement of the centreing device (14) is designed so as to be automatically controllable by a lateral inclination measuring device (27).
  6. A loading wagon according to one of claims 1 to 5, characterised in that the transversely displaceable centreing device (14) has two flaps (23), spaced apart from one another at a distance corresponding approximately to the width of the transfer conveyor belt (9), the said flaps being mounted so as to be swivellable about an axis (28) extending approximately in the longitudinal direction of the wagon for optional abutment against a side wall (25) of the transfer conveyor belt (9).
  7. A loading wagon according to claim 6, characterised in that each flap (23) can be locked both in a vertical position to limit the lateral swivelling of the transfer conveyor belt (9) and also in a horizontal position for the unimpeded swivelling of the transfer conveyor belt (9).
