Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung von elektrischen Signalen an Eisenbahnschienen, die durch die Räder von Schienenfahrzeugen ausgelöst werden, und die zur Steuerung von technischen Einrichtungen am Gleis und/oder an schienengleichen Bahnübergängen und/oder in Stellwerken benötigt werden, oder die in technischen Einrichtungen zu Zwecken der Zählung und/oder Schaltung und/oder Meßtorbildung und/oder zur Bestimmung der physikalischen Eigenschaften des Rades und/oder des Radsatzes und/oder des Drehgestelles und oder des Fahrzeuges, von dem das Gleis gerade befahren wird, Verwendung finden; sowie eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for generating electrical signals on railroad tracks, which are triggered by the wheels of rail vehicles, and which are required for the control of technical equipment on the track and / or at level railroad crossings and / or in signal boxes, or in technical equipment are used for the purposes of counting and / or switching and / or measuring gates and / or for determining the physical properties of the wheel and / or the wheelset and / or the bogie and / or the vehicle from which the track is currently being driven; and a device for performing the method.
Zu diesen Zwecken ist es bekannt, daß bei der Mehrzahl aller Bahnverwaltungen Systeme und Verfahren, basierend auf mechanischen, magnetischen oder elektromagnetischen Prizipien, als radbedientes Schaltmittel, in großen Stückzahlen eingesetzt werden.For these purposes it is known that systems and methods based on mechanical, magnetic or electromagnetic principles, as wheel-operated switching means, are used in large numbers in the majority of all railway administrations.
Alle bekannten Verfahren haben gravierende Nachteile bezüglich ihres geschwindigkeitsabhängigen Schaltverhaltens, der mechanischen und/oder elektrischen Beeinflußbarkeit und der zum Teil aufwendigen Montage und elektrischen und mechanischen Justage an der Schiene.
So arbeiten z.B. mechanische Systeme nur bei relativ niedrigen Zuggeschwindigkeiten zuverlässig.
Schienenkontakte mit Permanentmagneten können an elektrifizierten Strecken durch die starken elektromagnetischen Felder der Lokomotivantriebe entmagnetisiert und damit zerstört werden.
Nach elektromagnetischen Prinzipien arbeitende Systeme können durch elektrische Felder, Triebrückströme und Wirbelströme stark beeinflußt und ggf. funktionsunfähig gemacht werden.All known methods have serious disadvantages with regard to their speed-dependent switching behavior, the mechanical and / or electrical influenceability and the sometimes complex assembly and electrical and mechanical adjustment on the rail.
For example, mechanical systems only work reliably at relatively low train speeds.
Rail contacts with permanent magnets can be demagnetized on electrified lines by the strong electromagnetic fields of the locomotive drives and thus destroyed.
Systems operating according to electromagnetic principles can be strongly influenced by electrical fields, drive reverse currents and eddy currents and possibly rendered inoperable.
Optische Einrichtungen werden durch ständige Verschmutzung durch den Zugbetrieb und die Beeinflussung durch witterungsbedingte Einflüsse, z.B. Nebel und Schneefall, immer wieder unbrauchbar gemacht.
Ferner ist es bei diesen Verfahren auch nachteilig, daß die elektrischen und/oder mechanischen Funktionseinheiten immer wieder nachjustiert oder nachgeeicht werden müssen, was bei einigen Systemen nur bei bestimmten Außentemperaturen erfolgreich durchgeführt werden kann.Optical devices are made unusable again and again due to constant contamination by train operation and the influence of weather-related influences, such as fog and snowfall.
Furthermore, it is also disadvantageous in these methods that the electrical and / or mechanical functional units have to be readjusted or re-calibrated again and again, which in some systems can only be successfully carried out at certain outside temperatures.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Nachteile zu überwinden und ein Meßverfahren und eine Einrichtung zu dessen Durchführung anzugeben, das ausschließlich auf die physikalischen Einwirkungen der Räder von Eisenbahnfahrzeugen auf die Fahrschienen anspricht und hierbei Signale erzeugt, die im wesentlichen nur von der durch das Rad erzeugten Schienenverformung abhängen.
Dieses Verfahren schafft die Möglichkeit der Realisierung von geschwindigkeitsunabhängigen und achssymmetrischen Meßsignalen, wie sie in den oben genannten Einsatzfällen im allgemeinen und bei stationären Radsatz-Meßanlagen am Gleis, wie z.B. zur Messung von Radsatzlager- und Radreifentemperaturen, Radflachstellen, Radgewicht, Radprofil, Profil- und Geschwindigkeitüberwachungsanlagen im speziellen unbedingt erforderlich sind.The invention has for its object to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a measuring method and a device for its implementation, which responds exclusively to the physical effects of the wheels of rail vehicles on the rails and generates signals that are essentially only those of the wheel depend on the generated rail deformation.
This method creates the possibility of realizing speed-independent and axially symmetrical measurement signals, such as those in general in the above-mentioned applications and in stationary wheel set measuring systems on the track, such as for measuring wheel set bearing and wheel tire temperatures, wheel flat points, wheel weight, wheel profile, profile and Speed monitoring systems in particular are absolutely necessary.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren gelöst, das die in Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale aufweist. Diese sehen vor: die durch die Radsatzlast erzeugte Durchbiegung der Schiene mittels eines an mindestens einer Schiene befestigten DMS-Systems zu messen, das in Höhe der Schienenschwerlinie am Schienensteg angebracht ist.
Die Anbringung dieses Systems in Höhe der Schienenschwerlinie ermöglicht eine von den Schub- und Zugspannungen in der Schiene, wie sie als Folge von deren Durchbiegung auftreten, unabhängige Erfassung der elastischen Schienenverformung.This object is achieved by a method which has the features mentioned in
The installation of this system at the level of the rail's center of gravity enables the elastic rail deformation to be recorded independently of the shear and tensile stresses in the rail as a result of its deflection.
Durch diesen Aufbau wird somit eine Abhängigkeit des Schaltsignals von der Auflage der Schiene auf der Schwelle erreicht. Das auf diese Weise gewonnene Signal steigt bei Annäherung des Rades an die beschriebene Einrichtung kontinuierlich an und erreicht sein Maximum direkt über dem erfindungsgemäßen Systemaufbau. Aus dem Signalverlauf kann direkt auf die Radposition geschlossen werden.With this structure, a dependence of the switching signal on the support of the rail on the threshold is achieved. The signal obtained in this way rises continuously as the wheel approaches the device described and reaches its maximum directly above the system structure according to the invention. The wheel position can be deduced directly from the signal curve.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die zu seiner Durchführung vorgeschlagene Einrichtung kann wegen seiner unbedeutenden elektrischen Beeinflußbarkeit an Eisenbahntrassen mit allen bekannten Oberbauformen und vorzugsweise an Strecken mit elektrischer Zugförderung eingesetzt werden.The inventive method and the proposed device for its implementation can be used because of its insignificant electrical influence on railway lines with all known superstructures and preferably on routes with electrical train.
