Description

L'invention concerne les coeurs de croisement pour voie ferroviaire notamment de tramway et leur procédé de fabrication.The invention relates to crossing hearts for railways, in particular tramways, and their manufacturing process.

L'implantation de voies ferrées de tramways en site "banalisé", au sens de ce terme en matière de travaux publics, rend nécessaire l'utilisation de rails particuliers à profils spéciaux dits "rails à gorge". Les véhicules ferroviaires qui sont aptes à circuler sur de telles voies suivent habituellement des trajectoires rectilignes ou courbes de petits rayons et les appareils de voie destinés aux tramways sont donc des appareils à "grand angle" c'est-à-dire que les files de rails de même "main" divergent ou convergent et que les files de rails de "mains" opposées se coupent en faisant des angles importants. Les appareils de voie en question sont, par conséquent, courts en comparaison des appareils de voie traditionnels ou pour très grandes vitesses.The installation of tram tracks on a "standard" site, in the sense of this term in terms of public works, makes it necessary to use special rails with special profiles called "grooved rails". Railway vehicles which are capable of running on such tracks usually follow rectilinear or curved trajectories of small radii and the track devices intended for trams are therefore "wide angle" devices, that is to say that the lines of rails of the same "hand" diverge or converge and the lines of rails of opposite "hands" intersect at large angles. The switches in question are therefore short compared to traditional switches or for very high speeds.

Sur le plan de leur construction, les coeurs de croisement du type visé par l'invention posent des problèmes variés.In terms of their construction, the crossing hearts of the type targeted by the invention pose various problems.

Un de ces problèmes tient à la situation en chaussée de ces coeurs qui rend peu recommandable une construction en rails assemblés, dont l'entretien ne serait pratiquement pas réalisable.One of these problems is the situation on the roadway of these hearts which makes it impractical to build assembled rails, the maintenance of which would be practically impossible.

Un autre de ces problèmes tient du fait que si le grand angle de croisement conduit à un coeur court dans le sens longitudinal de la direction des voies, il génère, par contre, dans le sens transversal à la directions des voies un coeur large à ses extrémités, entre les files de rails de "mains" opposées.Another of these problems is due to the fact that if the large crossing angle leads to a short core in the longitudinal direction of the direction of the tracks, it generates, on the other hand, in the direction transverse to the directions of the tracks a wide heart at its ends, between the rows of rails of opposite "hands".

Un autre de ces problèmes est lié à la conception des bandages des roues de tramways qui sont d'une manière générale plus étroits que ceux des véhicules ferroviaires courants et entraînent alors parfois la nécessité de faire porter le boudin ou mentonnet des bandages des roues sur le fond d'ornière des gorges de l'appareil alors que cette obligation n'existe pas avec les bandages larges.Another of these problems is related to the design of treads for tramway wheels which are generally narrower than those of vehicles. common rail and sometimes lead to the need to wear the flange or wheel band tires on the rut of the grooves of the device when this obligation does not exist with wide tires.

Pour faire face à ce type de difficultés on a proposé des coeurs de croisement pour appareils de voies de tramways faits en acier moulé. Cette solution est connue pour être onéreuse parce qu'elle exige des moules de fonderie variés et nombreux, adaptés aux diverses situations, et aussi des délais importants de fabrication.To cope with this type of difficulty, crossing hearts have been proposed for tramway track apparatus made of cast steel. This solution is known to be expensive because it requires various and numerous foundry molds, adapted to the various situations, and also long manufacturing times.

Une autre solution proposée consiste à faire des coeurs de croisement à partir d'acier laminé. Pour cette solution, on utilise des blocs bruts de laminage qui sont ensuite usinés par exemple par fraisage, pour y ménager notamment les surfaces de roulement de ce qui tient lieu de champignon, les pattes de lièvre, les ornières des gorges ainsi que les parties en bout nécessaires aux raccordements aux files de rails qui l'encadrent. Une telle solution est par exemple décrite dans le document BE 899 679.Another proposed solution consists in making crossing hearts from rolled steel. For this solution, raw rolling blocks are used which are then machined for example by milling, in order to spare therein in particular the rolling surfaces of what takes the place of fungus, the hare's feet, the grooves ruts as well as the parts in end needed for connections to the rails that surround it. Such a solution is for example described in the document BE 899 679.

La mise en oeuvre pratique de cette solution impose d'utiliser des blocs dont la largeur avoisine voire dépasse 0,50m.The practical implementation of this solution requires the use of blocks whose width is close to or even exceeds 0.50m.

Une autre solution est encore proposée par le document FR 697 294. Selon cette solution, pour fabriquer seulement une pointe de coeur d'un appareil de voie ferroviaire en rail classique, on part d'un profilé de configuration générale parallélépipédique et de dimensions convenables qui après diverses opérations est porté à la forme finale voulue en pointe par un usinage correspondant qui consiste à en éliminer une portion de configuration générale prismatique.Another solution is also proposed by the document FR 697 294. According to this solution, to manufacture only a core tip of a railroad track apparatus in conventional rail, one starts from a profile of general parallelepiped configuration and of suitable dimensions which after various operations, it is brought to the final desired shape at the point by a corresponding machining which consists in eliminating a portion of it with a general prismatic configuration.

On se rend compte immédiatement que pour une telle construction, on utilise une quantité de matière sans rapport avec celle qui est réellement nécessaire au roulement et à la stabilité du coeur.We immediately realize that for such a construction, we use a quantity of material unrelated to that which is really necessary for the rolling and the stability of the heart.

Pour faire face à une telle solution on a aussi proposé de fabriquer des coeurs de croisement composites en utilisant des blocs laminés plus petits, de largeur et longueur réduites, par exemple d'environ 0,30m de large, dans lesquels on usine notamment les gorges et sur lesquels on vient rapporter en bout par soudage des "antennes" en rail à profil spécial nécessaires aux raccordements aux files de rails qui l'encadrent. Si on économise ainsi de la matière, on introduit en contrepartie des soudures qui sont sujettes à malfaçons et sont sources de ruptures et, qui plus est, imposent des opérations supplémentaires qui grèvent les coûts de production.To cope with such a solution, it has also been proposed to manufacture composite crossing hearts using smaller laminated blocks, of reduced width and length, for example about 0.30 m wide, in which the grooves are machined in particular. and on which one comes to report at the end by welding of "antennas" in special profile rail necessary for connections to the rails that surround it. If material is saved in this way, welds are introduced in return, which are prone to poor workmanship and are sources of ruptures and, moreover, impose additional operations which increase production costs.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ce type de difficultés en conciliant différents objectifs apparamment contradictoires, c'est-à-dire utiliser le minimum de matière tout en obtenant un coeur de croisement homogène monobloc, sans soudure, dont les parties les plus sollicitées sont soumises s'il y a lieu, à des traitements augmentant leur longévité.The object of the invention is to remedy this type of difficulty by reconciling different apparently contradictory objectives, that is to say using the minimum of material while obtaining a homogeneous one-piece, seamless crossing core, the parts of which are more stressed are subjected, if necessary, to treatments increasing their longevity.

On obtient ainsi un coeur de croisement à la fois plus performant et d'un prix de revient plus réduit que les précédents.This gives a crossover core that is both more efficient and at a lower cost price than the previous ones.

L'invention a pour objet un procédé pour la fabrication d'un coeur de croisement en rail à gorge pour voie ferroviaire de tramway à partir d'une brame laminee unique de préférence approximativement parallélépipédique, caractérisé en ce qu':

  • on refend partiellement longitudinalement, axialement la brame dans ses deux zones d'extrémités encadrant une partie centrale pour y ménager quatre ailes contigües deux à deux,
  • on écarte les ailes contigües en dépassant la limite élastique pour donner une déformation permanente à la brame telle que sa dimension transversale est celle des extrémités du coeur de croisement à obtenir,
  • on usine la partie centrale, les ailes et au besoin les bouts de celles-ci pour y ménager notamment les gorges et des surfaces de roulement et s'il y a lieu des raccords.
The subject of the invention is a method for the manufacture of a grooved rail crossing core for a tramway railway track from a single laminated slab preferably approximately parallelepipedic, characterized in that:
  • the slab is partially partially longitudinally slit axially in its two end zones framing a central part in order to provide four contiguous wings there in pairs,
  • the adjoining wings are spread apart by exceeding the elastic limit to give a permanent deformation to the slab such that its transverse dimension is that of the ends of the crossing core to be obtained,
  • the central part, the wings and, if necessary, the ends of the latter are machined in order to provide in particular the grooves and the rolling surfaces and if necessary fittings.

L'invention a aussi pour objet un coeur de croisement pour voie ferroviaire notamment de tramway obtenu par le procédé de fabrication en question.The subject of the invention is also a crossing core for railways, in particular tramways, obtained by the manufacturing process in question.

Pour ce faire, on part d'une brame laminée, de configuration approximativement parallélépipédique ou d'un profil spécial, dont la longueur est voisine de celle du coeur terminé à obtenir et dont la largeur est la plus petite possible compatible avec la partie centrale du coeur à obtenir. On fend partiellement longitudinalement, de préférence selon le plan axial de symétrie, les deux zones d'extrémités de la brame qui deviendront le côté "pointe" et le côté "talon" du coeur pour y ménager quatre ailes, sur la longueur nécessaire. On écarte ensuite les ailes contigües ainsi obtenues pour donner à la brame une configuration en double Y opposé ou en X en dépassant la limite élastique du matériau pour obtenir une déformation permanente de la brame conduisant à la dimension transversale nécessaire entre les extrémités du coeur à obtenir, et on usine la partie centrale et les ailes pour y ménager notamment les gorges ainsi que les bouts des ailes en vue de leur raccordement aux files de rails de la voie courante gui l'encadreront.To do this, we start from a laminated slab, of approximately parallelepiped configuration or from a special profile, whose length is close to that of the finished core and whose width is as small as possible compatible with the central part of the heart to get. The two end regions of the slab are split partially longitudinally, preferably along the axial plane of symmetry, which will become the "toe" side and the "heel" side of the core in order to provide four wings, over the necessary length. We then separate the adjoining wings thus obtained to give the slab a configuration in opposite double Y or in X by exceeding the elastic limit of the material to obtain a permanent deformation of the slab leading to the necessary transverse dimension between the ends of the core to be obtained , and the central part and the wings are machined in order to spare therein in particular the grooves as well as the ends of the wings with a view to their connection to the rows of rails of the current track which will frame it.

Pour donner au coeur de croisement notamment dans sa partie centrale qui est la plus sollicitée, une résistance plus importante que celle de l'acier qui constitue la brame ou le profil spécial initial de départ, on procède ensuite à un traitement par exemple thermique qui permet, en augmentant suffisamment la dureté de cette partie, de lui conférer une plus grande longévité.To give the crossing core, particularly in its central part which is the most stressed, a higher resistance than that of the steel which constitutes the slab or the initial special starting profile, a treatment is then carried out, for example thermal which allows , by sufficiently increasing the hardness of this part, to give it greater longevity.

Une autre technique qui permet d'augmenter la dureté locale du coeur de croisement consiste en un apport d'un métal approprié déposé par exemple par soudage dans la région concernée. Les usinages sont alors réalisés en conséquence.Another technique which makes it possible to increase the local hardness of the crossing core consists of a supply of an appropriate metal deposited for example by welding in the region concerned. Machining is then carried out accordingly.

La forme exacte particulière à donner à un coeur de croisement (ornière profonde ou ornière porteuse) dépend de la forme propre du bandage des roues destinées à y circuler.The exact particular shape to be given to a crossing heart (deep rut or supporting rut) depends on the proper shape of the tire of the wheels intended to circulate there.

La localisation des régions à durcir est différente dans le cas de l'ornière profonde et dans le cas de l'ornière porteuse, mais l'une et l'autre des techniques de durcissement indiquées auparavant peuvent être appliquées aux deux cas.The location of the regions to be hardened is different in the case of the deep rut and in the case of the carrier rut, but either of the hardening techniques indicated above can be applied to both cases.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la lecture de la description et des revendications qui suivent ainsi que de l'examen du dessin, donné seulement à titre d'exemple, où :

  • la Fig.1 est une vue en perspective schématique illustrant un coeur de croisement en cours de fabrication selon l'invention,
  • la Fig.2 est une vue de dessus d'un coeur de croisement obtenu directement par la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention, et
  • les Fig.3A et 3B sont des sections selon le plan 3-3 de la Fig.2 de deux variantes d'exécution.
Other characteristics of the invention will emerge from reading the description and the claims which follow, as well as from examining the drawing, given only by way of example, where:
  • Fig.1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a crossing core during manufacture according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of a crossing core obtained directly by the implementation of the method according to the invention, and
  • Fig.3A and 3B are sections according to the plane 3-3 of Fig.2 of two alternative embodiments.

Les coeurs de croisement pour voie ferroviaire notamment de tramway étant bien connus dans la technique, on ne décrira dans ce qui suit que ce qui concerne directement ou indirectement l'invention.Since crossing hearts for railways and in particular tramways are well known in the art, the following will only describe what relates directly or indirectly to the invention.

Pour le surplus le spécialiste de la technique considérée puisera dans les solutions courantes classiques à sa disposition pour faire face aux problèmes particuliers auxquels est confronté.For the rest, the specialist in the technique considered will draw on the conventional current solutions at his disposal to deal with the particular problems which are confronted.

Dans ce qui suit on utilise toujours un même numéro de référence pour identifier un élément homologue quel que soit le mode de réalisation ou la variante d'exécution.In what follows we always use the same reference number to identify a homologous element whatever the embodiment or the variant of execution.

Pour la commodité de l'exposé on exposera successivement chacune des particularités de l'invention.For the convenience of the presentation, each of the features of the invention will be exposed successively.

On comprendra mieux l'invention en se reportant à la Figure 1 qui représente une brame laminée, ou un profil spécial 10, dans son état initial à laquelle on a donné en largeur, une dimension de 0,35m par exemple et sur laquelle on a représenté l'axe longitudinal 100 de préférence le plan de symétries suivant lequel la brame sera partiellement fendue, sur une distance AB et CD, dans ses zones d'extrémités 11 situées de part et d'autre d'une partie centrale 12. On ménage ainsi par ce refendage partiel des ailes 110 contigües deux à deux comme illustré sur la partie droite de cette figure. Les distances AB et CD peuvent être égales ou différentes.We will better understand the invention by referring to Figure 1 which shows a laminated slab, or a special profile 10, in its initial state which has been given in width, a dimension of 0.35 m for example and on which we have shown the longitudinal axis 100 preferably the plane of symmetry along which the slab will be partially split, over a distance AB and CD, in its end zones 11 located on either side of a central part 12. thus by this partial slitting of the adjacent wings 110 in pairs as illustrated on the right part of this figure. The distances AB and CD can be equal or different.

Ensuite on écarte dans le sens des flèches les ailes contigües 110 d'un couple pour aboutir comme illustré sur la partie gauche de cette figure. L'écartement des deux couples est simultané ou successif.Then we spread in the direction of the arrows the adjoining wings 110 by a couple to arrive as illustrated on the left part of this figure. The separation of the two couples is simultaneous or successive.

Le refendage est obtenu à l'aide de toute technique connue appropriée par exemple sciage ou découpage au chalumeau. L'écartement est obtenu de même par toute technique appropriée par forgeage ou déformation à la presse hydraulique par exemple.Slitting is obtained using any suitable known technique, for example sawing or cutting with a torch. The spacing is likewise obtained by any suitable technique by forging or deformation with a hydraulic press for example.

La Figure 2 représente un coeur de croisement terminé selon l'invention vue de dessus après refendage suivant l'axe 100 et écartement des ailes 110 contigües, usinages et traitements faits. On a désigné par 30 les gorges usinées pour mentonnet ou boudin de bandage de roue et par 40 les bouts usinés pour raccordement par exemple par éclissage ou soudage avec les files de rails de la voie courante qui l'encadreront. L'écartement peut être le même ou différent à chaque extrémité.Figure 2 shows a crossing heart finished according to the invention seen from above after slitting along the axis 100 and spacing of the adjacent wings 110, machining and processing done. The grooves machined for the wheel band or flange have been designated by 30 and by 40 the machined ends for connection, for example by splicing or welding with the rows of rails of the running track which will frame it. The spacing can be the same or different at each end.

La Figure 3A représente une section partielle selon la ligne 3-3 de la Fig.2 dans le cas d'une ornière porteuse. La Figure 3B représente une section partielle selon la ligne 3-3 de la Fig.2 dans le cas d'une ornière profonde.Figure 3A shows a partial section along line 3-3 of Fig.2 in the case of a load-bearing rut. Figure 3B shows a partial section along line 3-3 in Fig. 2 in the case of a deep rut.

Sur les Figures 2 et 3 les plages 32, 33 et 34 en grisé sont celles à durcir dans le cas de l'ornière porteuse et dans le cas de l'ornière profonde, respectivement.In Figures 2 and 3 the shaded areas 32, 33 and 34 are those to be hardened in the case of the supporting rut and in the case of the deep rut, respectively.

L'usinage est fait de toute manière appropriée par exemple par fraisage à l'aide de machine outil.Machining is done in any suitable manner, for example by milling using a machine tool.

De même le traitement, thermique ou autre est conduit selon toute technique courante appropriée.Likewise, the heat or other treatment is carried out according to any appropriate standard technique.
