Abstract

In a trailable railway switch drive a coupling device (3) is arranged between a drive unit and the push rod (1) and has a securing roller (10) which is spring loaded in the coupled-end state and engages in a depression (9) of the push rod (1). In order to be able to realise such a coupling device even when the space available is very restricted, two counter rollers (12, 12') are provided which are arranged essentially symmetrically with respect to the direction of movement of the securing roller (10) and are mounted so as to be capable of moving essentially perpendicularly with respect to the direction of movement of the securing roller (10) and are loaded by at least one securing spring (13) in the direction in which they bear against the securing roller (10). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen auffahrbaren Weichenantrieb, mit einer die Weichenzungen verstellenden Schubstange, sowie mit einer zwischen einer Antriebseinheit und der Schubstange angeordneten Kupplungsvorrichtung, welche eine im eingekuppelten Zustand federbelastet in eine Vertiefung der Schubstange eingreifende Halterolle aufweist die sich beim Auffahren der Weiche gegen die Federkraft in einer Bewegungsrichtung aus der Vertiefung heraus bewegt.The invention relates to a retractable switch machine, with a Push rod that adjusts switch tongues, as well as with a between one Drive unit and the push rod arranged coupling device, which one in the engaged state spring-loaded into a recess of the push rod engaging holding roller which move against the spring force in one direction when the switch is opened moved out of the recess.

Anordnungen der genannten Art sind beispielsweise aus der DE-B2 26 06 664, der DE-B1 29 28 194, oder auch der DE-B2 19 52 824 bekannt und ermöglichen ein für viele Anwendungsfälle von Weichenantrieben erwünschtes Auffahren der Weiche auch bei im allgemeinen geforderter Sperre des Weichenantriebes in den Endlagen der Weichenzungen. Die Kupplungsvorrichtung ist aus diesem Grunde gleitbar auf der Schubstange angeordnet und enthält eine Halterolle, welche von einer Haltefeder in eine in der Schubstange befindliche muldenförmige Vertiefung gedrückt wird. Über die Federkraft und die Formgebung der Vertiefung und der Halterolle ist damit eine Schwellkraft definiert, bei deren Überschreitung die ansonsten praktisch starre Verbindung von der Schubstange zur Kupplungsvorrichtung und damit zur Antriebseinheit gelöst wird. Diese Art der automatischen Kupplung ist in der Funktion sehr zuverlässig und hat als einzig wesentlichen Nachteil eigentlich nur einen relativ großen Platzbedarf, was die Verwendbarkeit für verschiedene Anwendungen einschränkt bzw. unerwünschte Auswirkungen im Hinblick auf Beschränkung der Freiheiten bei der Anordnungen sonstiger Bauteile des Weichenantriebes hat.Arrangements of the type mentioned are for example from DE-B2 26 06 664, DE-B1 29 28 194, or also DE-B2 19 52 824 known and enable what is desired for many applications of point machines The turnout is opened even when the turnout drive is generally required to be blocked in the end positions of the switch tongues. The coupling device is off for this reason slidably arranged on the push rod and contains one Holding roller, which is from a retaining spring in a in the push rod trough-shaped depression is pressed. About the spring force and the The shape of the depression and the holding roller is therefore a swelling force defined, beyond which the otherwise practically rigid connection from the push rod to the coupling device and thus to the drive unit is solved. This type of automatic clutch is very functional reliable and the only major disadvantage is actually only one relatively large space requirement, which makes it usable for different applications restricted or undesirable effects with regard to restriction the freedom in the arrangement of other components of the point machine Has.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Weichenantrieb der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß die erwähnten Nachteile der bekannten Anordnungen vermieden werden und daß insbesonders auf einfache Weise die Kupplungsvorrichtung zwischen Antriebseinheit und Schubstange bei gleichermaßen sicherer Funktion platzsparender aufgebaut werden kann.The object of the present invention is to provide a point machine improve the type mentioned so that the disadvantages mentioned known arrangements can be avoided and that in particular on simple The coupling device between the drive unit and the push rod equally safe function can be constructed more space-saving.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung bei einem Weichenantrieb der genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß zwei im wesentlichen symmetrisch bezüglich der Bewegungsrichtung der Halterolle angeordnete Gegenrollen vorgesehen sind, welche im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Halterolle verschiebbar gelagert und von zumindest einer Haltefeder in Richtung zur Anlage an der Halterolle belastet sind. Damit kann auf sehr einfache Weise die bisher bestehende Notwendigkeit, die die Halterolle belastende Haltefeder in Bewegungsrichtung der Halterolle - also normalerweise senkrecht von der Schubstange abstehend - anzuordnen, umgangen werden. Es besteht weitgehende Freiheit hinsichtlich der Anordnung dieser Haltefeder, da diese Feder nun nur mittelbar über die Gegenrollen auf die Halterolle wirkt, womit sich eine sehr gedrängte Konstruktion der Kupplungsvorrichtung bei im wesentlichen gleicher Funktion wie bisher erzielen läßt.This object is achieved according to the invention in a point machine mentioned type in that two substantially symmetrical with respect counter-rollers arranged in the direction of movement of the holding roller are provided, which is essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the holding roller slidably supported and by at least one retaining spring in the direction of the system the holding roller is loaded. So that can be done in a very simple way existing need, the holding spring loading the holding roller in the direction of movement the holding roller - normally perpendicular to the push rod protruding - to be arranged, bypassed. There is extensive Freedom in the arrangement of this retaining spring, since this spring is now only acts indirectly on the holding roller via the counter rollers, which is a very compact construction of the coupling device with essentially the same Function can be achieved as before.

Die Haltefeder ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung - wie auch bisher zumeist - als Schraubendruckfeder ausgebildet, kann aber nun im wesentlichen parallel zur Schubstange angeordnet werden, was im Hinblick auf die genannte platzsparende Konstruktion optimal ist.The retaining spring is in a further embodiment of the invention - as well previously mostly - designed as a helical compression spring, but can now be used in be arranged essentially parallel to the push rod, which with regard to the space-saving construction mentioned is optimal.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung ist die Halterolle zumindest einseitig in einem in einem Gehäuse der Kupplungsvorrichtung senkrecht zur Schubstange geführten Gleitstein gelagert, wobei die beiden Gegenrollen an im Gehäuse der Kupplungsvorrichtung parallel zur Schubstange verschieblichen Gegenrollengehäusen angeordnet sind, welche über die Haltefeder gegeneinander belastet sind. Dies ergibt eine sehr einfache und zuverlässig funktionierende Konstruktion, da die auf die Gegenrollen wirkende Federkraft unmittelbar auf die Belastung der Halterolle umgesetzt wird.According to a particularly preferred further embodiment of the invention the holding roller at least on one side in a housing of the coupling device Sliding block guided perpendicular to the push rod, whereby the two counter rollers on in the housing of the coupling device parallel to Push rod displaceable counter roller housings are arranged, which over the retaining spring are loaded against each other. This makes it very simple and reliable working construction, because the on the counter rollers acting spring force directly applied to the load on the holding roller becomes.

Obwohl natürlich bedarfsweise auch zwei oder sogar mehrere Haltefedern zur Belastung der Gegenrollen relativ zur Halterolle vorgesehen sein können, hat sich eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besonders vorteilhaft bewährt, gemäß welcher eine einzige Haltefeder einerseits unmittelbar an einem der Gegenrollengehäuse und andererseits über ein Spannstück mit Verstellschraube und Übertragungsbügel am anderen Gegenrollengehäuse angreift. Trotz sehr einfachem konstruktivem Aufbau ist damit auch eine Einstellbarkeit der gewünschten Schwellkraft für das Auslösen der starren Kupplung zwischen Schubstange und Antriebseinheit gegeben.Although, of course, two or even more retaining springs are also required can be provided for loading the counter rollers relative to the holding roller, a further embodiment of the invention has proven particularly advantageous proven, according to which a single retaining spring on the one hand one of the counter roller housing and on the other hand via a clamping piece with adjusting screw and transmission bracket engages the other counter roller housing. Despite the very simple construction, it is also adjustable the desired threshold force for triggering the rigid coupling between Push rod and drive unit given.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden noch anhand des in der Zeichnung auszugsweise und teilweise schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Fig. 1 zeigt dabei einen teilweisen Querschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Weichenantrieb im Bereich der Kupplungsvorrichtung zwischen nicht dargestellter Antriebseinheit und Schubstange und Fig. 2 zeigt eine teilweise Draufsicht auf die Anordnung gemäß Fig. 1 von oben.The invention is explained in the following based on the excerpt in the drawing and partially schematically illustrated embodiment explained. Fig. 1 shows a partial cross section through a Point machine according to the invention in the area of the coupling device between not shown drive unit and push rod and Fig. 2 shows a partial top view of the arrangement of FIG. 1 from above.

Eine die nicht dargestellten Weichenzungen bedarfsweise verstellende Schubstange 1 ist in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 2 beweglich, wobei die hier nicht dargestellte eigentliche Antriebseinheit über eine Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 auf die Schubstange 1 einwirkt. In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten linken Endstellung der Schubstange 1 ist ein am Gehäuse 4 der Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 federbelastet angelenkter linker Festhalteriegel 5 in einer Rast 6 am Gehäuseboden 7 eingerastet, womit die zugehörige Endstellung der über die Schubstange 1 betätigten Weichenzungen fixiert ist. Mit 8 ist ein rechter Festhalteriegel bezeichnet, der wiederum federbelastet am Gehäuse 4 angelenkt ist und in der rechten Endstellung der Schubstange 1 in Eingriff mit einer nicht weiter dargestellten entsprechenden Rast am Gehäuseboden 7 kommt.A switch that does not show the switch tongues, if necessary Push rod 1 is movable in the direction of the double arrow 2, the here Actual drive unit, not shown, via a coupling device 3 acts on the push rod 1. In the left shown in Fig. 1 The end position of the push rod 1 is on the housing 4 of the coupling device 3 spring-loaded left retaining bar 5 in a detent 6 on the housing base 7 locked, with which the associated end position of the over Push rod 1 operated switch tongues is fixed. At 8 is a right Denoted locking bar, which in turn is spring-loaded on the housing 4 is and in the right end position of the push rod 1 in engagement with a Corresponding not shown on the housing bottom 7 comes.

Nicht weiter interessant sind hier die Mechanismen, die am Beginn der Betätigung der Antriebseinheit vorerst zu einem Lösen der Festhalteriegel 5 bzw. 8 und erst dann zu einer entsprechenden Verschiebung der Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 bzw. der Schubstange 1 führen.The mechanisms at the beginning of the Actuation of the drive unit for the time being to loosen the retaining bar 5 or 8 and only then to a corresponding displacement of the coupling device 3 or push rod 1.

Um ein Auffahren der über die Schubstange betätigten Weiche auch in den über den jeweiligen Festhalteriegel 5 bzw. 8 gesperrten Endstellungen ohne Beschädigung des Weichenantriebes zu ermöglichen weist die Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 eine im dargestellten eingekuppelten Zustand federbelastet in eine Vertiefung 9 der Schubstange 1 eingreifende Halterolle 10 auf, die hier beidseitig in je einem im Gehäuse 4 der Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 senkrecht zur Schubstange 1 geführten Gleitstein 11 gelagert ist. Weiters sind zwei im wesentlichen symmetrisch bezüglich der über die Gleitsteine ermöglichten Bewegungsrichtung der Halterolle 10 angeordnete Gegenrollen 12, 12' vorgesehen, welche wiederum im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Halterolle 10 beweglich gelagert und von einer Haltefeder 13 in Richtung zur Anlage an der Halterolle 10 belastet sind.To open the switch operated via the push rod also in the end positions locked via the respective locking bar 5 or 8 The coupling device has been made possible without damaging the point machine 3 a spring-loaded in the illustrated coupled state in a Recess 9 of the push rod 1 engaging holding roller 10, which here on both sides in one in the housing 4 of the coupling device 3 perpendicular to Push rod 1 guided sliding block 11 is mounted. Furthermore, two are in the essentially symmetrical with respect to those made possible via the sliding blocks Direction of movement of the holding roller 10 arranged counter rollers 12, 12 'are provided, which in turn is essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the Holding roller 10 movably supported and by a retaining spring 13 in the direction of System on the holding roller 10 are loaded.

Die Haltefeder 13 ist hier als Schraubendruckfeder ausgebildet und im wesentlichen parallel zur Schubstange 1 angeordnet, womit sich eine sehr kompakte Bauweise bei gleichzeitig sicherer Funktion der Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 ergibt.The retaining spring 13 is designed here as a helical compression spring and in arranged substantially parallel to the push rod 1, which is a very compact design with safe function of the coupling device 3 results.

Die beiden Gegenrollen 12, 12' sind an im Gehäuse 4 der Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 parallel zur Schubstange verschieblichen Gegenrollengehäusen 14, 15 angeordnet, welche über die Haltefeder 13 gegeneinander federbelastet sind. Die hier einzige Haltefeder 13 ist zu diesem Zwecke einerseits unmittelbar am Gegenrollengehäuse 14 und andererseits über ein Spannstück 16 mit Verstellschraube 17 und Übertragungsbügel 18 - hier bestehend im wesentlichen aus den beiden Gewindestangen 19 sowie den Kopfstücken 20 - am anderen Gegenrollengehäuse 15 abgestützt, was auf sehr einfache Weise eine Umlenkung der Wirkung der Federkraft auf die Belastung der Halterolle 10 ermöglicht.The two counter rollers 12, 12 'are in the housing 4 of the coupling device 3 counter-roller housings 14 which can be displaced parallel to the push rod, 15 arranged, which is spring-loaded against each other via the retaining spring 13 are. For this purpose, the only retaining spring 13 is, on the one hand, direct on the counter roller housing 14 and on the other hand via a clamping piece 16 with adjusting screw 17 and transmission bracket 18 - consisting essentially here from the two threaded rods 19 and the head pieces 20 - on the other Counter roller housing 15 supported, which is a deflection in a very simple manner the effect of the spring force on the load on the holding roller 10.

Beim Auffahren der Weiche wird die Schubstange 1 (bei über die Festhalteriegel 5 bzw. 8 festgehaltener Kupplungsvorrichtung samt Halterolle 10) mit ihrer Vertiefung 9 aus dem Eingriffsbereich der Halterolle 10 gedrückt, was zu einem Zurückweichen der Halterolle 10 gegen die Wirkung der federbelasteten Gegenrollen 12, 12' führt, welche ihrerseits zusammen mit den Gegenrollengehäusen 14, 15 auseinandergedrückt werden. Die Schubstange 1 ist damit relativ zur Kupplungsvorrichtung 3 bzw. zur Antriebseinheit frei beweglich, bis es bei Übereinstimmung der Position der Halterolle 10 mit der Vertiefung 9 wiederum zu einer Kuppelung kommt.When the switch is opened, the push rod 1 (with the locking bar 5 or 8 held coupling device together with holding roller 10) its depression 9 pressed out of the engagement area of the holding roller 10, what to a retraction of the holding roller 10 against the action of the spring-loaded Counter rollers 12, 12 'leads, which in turn together with the counter roller housings 14, 15 are pushed apart. The push rod 1 is so freely movable relative to the coupling device 3 or to the drive unit, until it is in accordance with the position of the holding roller 10 with the recess 9 in turn comes to a coupling.

Anstelle der dargestellten einzelnen, als Schraubenfeder ausgebildeten Haltefeder 13 könnten natürlich auf geeignete Weise auch zwei oder mehrere, auch beispielsweise als Tellerfedern oder dergleichen ausgebildete Federn, eventuell auch auf beiden Seiten der Halterolle 10, angeordnet sein - ebenfalls möglich wäre auch eine winkelmäßig gegenüber der Darstellung abweichende Anordnung der Bewegungsmöglichkeiten von Halterolle 10 und/oder Gegenrollen 12, 12', womit eine unter Umständen erforderliche Berücksichtigung spezieller örtlicher Gegebenheiten möglich ist.Instead of the individual shown, designed as a coil spring Holding spring 13 could of course also suitably two or more, also, for example, springs designed as disc springs or the like, possibly also be arranged on both sides of the holding roller 10 - likewise it would also be possible to have a different angle than the illustration Arrangement of the possibilities of movement of the holding roller 10 and / or counter rollers 12, 12 ', which may require consideration special local conditions is possible.
