This has driver's cabs 5 arranged at the ends with a central control device 6. Furthermore, the suction machine 1 is equipped with a motor 7 for the energy supply and a travel drive 8.
  • a support structure 11 fastened to the machine frame 4 is provided for guiding and supporting a suction nozzle 10 projecting over a machine end 9.
  • This is composed of two parts 14, 15 arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the machine and forming an articulation point with a vertical swivel axis 12 and a swivel drive 13. This support structure is described in more detail in FIG. 2.
  • the suction nozzle 10 connected to the part 15 is followed by a flexible suction pipe 16, the end 49 of which is opposite the suction nozzle 10 and is displaceably mounted perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the machine.
  • a flexible suction pipe 16 the end 49 of which is opposite the suction nozzle 10 and is displaceably mounted perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the machine.
  • ballast stores 17, 18 opposite each other in the cross-machine direction are provided, each with an unloading opening 19.
  • Two filter chambers 20 with closable discharge openings 21 are located between these ballast stores 17, 18 and the vacuum generator 3.
  • a conveyor belt 22 with a rotary drive 23 running in the machine longitudinal direction is provided below the unloading openings 19 of the two ballast stores 17, 18 and the unloading openings 21 of the filter chambers 20 and below the machine frame 4.
  • An end 24 of this conveyor belt 22, which is further distanced from the suction nozzle 10, is positioned above the rail undercarriage 2 fastened to the end of the machine frame 4 and below the driving cabin 5.
  • a conveyor drive 31 assigned to the transfer conveyor belt 26 can optionally be acted upon in both directions of rotation.
  • the part 14 of the supporting structure 11 which is located above the driving cabin 5 is formed from a main carrier 33 which extends in the machine longitudinal direction and can be telescopically extended by a drive 32 in the machine longitudinal direction. In its end region, which is further removed from the suction nozzle 10, this is displaceably supported by a drive 34 on horizontal transverse guides 35 running transversely to the machine longitudinal direction, and in its other end region it has the articulation point with the pivot axis 12.
  • the part 15 of the support structure 11 located in front of the driver's cab 5 is composed essentially of a support body 36 which is articulated by the pivot axis 12 to the main support 33 and a parallelogram linkage 37 fixed thereon. This in turn is connected to a height guide 38, on which a second support body 39 is mounted in a height-adjustable manner by a first height adjustment drive 40.
  • the height adjustment of the parallelogram linkage 37 together with the suction nozzle 10 is carried out by a second height adjustment drive 41.
  • the lower end of the second support body 39 is connected to a rotator 42, by means of which a support plate 43 connected to the suction nozzle 10 can be rotated about a vertical axis of rotation 44.
  • the suction nozzle 10 is pivotally connected to the support plate 43 via a pivot axis 45 which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the nozzle or the machine or horizontally.
  • a nozzle swivel drive 46 is provided for pivoting the suction nozzle about said swivel axis 45.
  • each of the two ballast stores 17, 18 has its own suction opening 47, 48.

All of the drives located on the support structure 11 supporting the suction nozzle 10 can be controlled by the control device 6 located in the driving cabin 5.
  • the special support structure 11 results in a very wide range of use, indicated by a dash-dotted boundary line, in which ballast located laterally next to a track 53 can also be extracted without problems.
  • the suction nozzle 10 can be correctly positioned directly from the driver's cab 5 via the central control device 6 and lowered for suction.
  • the second height adjustment drive 41 expediently brings about a first, approximately lowering of the suction nozzle 10 to the desired height, which can then be adjusted exactly with the aid of the first height adjustment drive 40.
  • the suction nozzle can be pivoted by a total of 180 ° about the axis of rotation 44 by the rotator 42, which means that ballast located below a threshold 54 can also be sucked off, in particular in connection with an additional pivoting by the nozzle swivel drive 46.
  • the positioning of the suction nozzle 10 can be done with With the help of the drives 33, 34 and 40 or 41, they can be carried out in a simple manner according to XYZ coordinates. With the help of the pivot drives 13, the suction nozzle 10 can be pivoted into an area located to the side of the track 53.
  • the drive 50 is automatically acted upon by a corresponding sensor, which moves the end 49 of the suction pipe 16 to the adjacent ballast store 17 or 18. Subsequently, parallel to the ballast suction in the empty ballast store, the filled ballast store 17 or 18 is emptied by opening the corresponding discharge opening 19.
