Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zur Durchführung von Gleisbauarbeiten, mit einem auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Maschinenrahmen, der einen zwischen zwei Schienenfahrwerken gelegenen ersten Arbeitsabschnitt und einen an diesen in Maschinenlängsrichtung unmittelbar anschließenden zweiten Arbeitsabschnitt aufweist, und mit am Maschinenrahmen angeordneten, in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Laufschienen zum Verfahren einer durch einen Antrieb selbstverfahrbaren, vorzugsweise als Kran ausgebildeten Transporteinrichtung.The invention relates to a machine for performing track construction work, with a machine frame supported on rail bogies, the one between two rail bogies first working section and a second immediately following this in the machine longitudinal direction Has working section, and with arranged on the machine frame, in Machine rails running longitudinal direction for moving a through a drive self-propelled, preferably designed as a crane transport device.

Durch die US 5,193,461 ist bereits eine derartige Gleisbaumaschine bekannt, die zum Austauschen von Schwellen eines Gleises dient und mit einem über Schienenfahrwerke verfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen ausgestattet ist. Dieser ist in zwei hintereinanderliegende Arbeitsabschnitte gegliedert, von denen sich der erste zwischen den beiden Schienenfahrwerken befindet; diesem Abschnitt ist in seinem oberen Bereich eine Öffnung des Maschinenrahmens zugeordnet. Der unmittelbar daran anschließende zweite Arbeitsabschnitt ist mit Laufschienen versehen, auf denen eine Transporteinrichtung in Form eines in Maschinenlängsrichtung selbstverfahrbaren Schwellenkranes gelagert ist. Die Laufschienen erstrecken sich weiters über an die Maschine gekuppelte Schwellentransportwaggons, auf denen Alt- und Neuschwellen abgelegt sind. Anhand des Kranes werden diese nun zwischen den Waggons und dem ersten Arbeitsabschnitt hin- bzw. hertransportiert und durch die Öffnung im Maschinenrahmen hindurchgeführt, unter der sich eine der Schwellenwechselvorrichtung zugeordnete Ablageeinrichtung befindet.Such a track construction machine is already known from US Pat. No. 5,193,461. which is used to exchange sleepers of a track and with an over Rail running gear movable machine frame is equipped. This is divided into two successive working sections, one of which is the first is located between the two rail bogies; this section an opening of the machine frame is assigned in its upper area. The second working section immediately following is with running rails provided on which a transport device in the form of a machine in the longitudinal direction self-propelled sleeper crane is stored. The running tracks extend further over sleeper transport wagons coupled to the machine, on which old and new sleepers are stored. Based on the These are now cranes between the wagons and the first stage of work transported back and forth and through the opening in the machine frame passed under which is assigned to the threshold changing device Storage device is located.

Durch die FR 2 378 898 ist ein Wagen zum Verlegen bzw. Aufnehmen von Gleisjochen bekannt. Dieser Wagen weist einen endseitig auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Maschinenrahmen auf, auf dem sich ein im Wagenquerschnitt bogenförmiger Aufbau befindet. Dieser ragt an beiden Längsenden über das jeweilige Schienenfahrwerk vor und ist im oberen Endbereich mit in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Laufschienen verbunden. Mit auf diesen veschiebbar gelagerten Schlitten sind Gleisjoche über die gesamte Länge des Aufbaues in Wagenlängsrichtung verschiebbar. FR 2 378 898 is a trolley for laying or picking up Gleisjochen known. This car has an end on rail bogies supported machine frame, on which there is a cross section of the car arcuate structure. This protrudes over the respective at both longitudinal ends Rail chassis in front and is in the upper end area with in the longitudinal direction of the car running tracks connected. With these slidably mounted Sledges are track yokes along the entire length of the structure Longitudinal carriage movable.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun in der Schaffung einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art, die sich besonders zum Einsatz bei Gleisbauarbeiten in Weichen- und Kreuzungsbereichen eignet.The object of the present invention is to create a machine of the type mentioned above, which are particularly suitable for use in track construction work suitable in switch and crossing areas.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Maschine der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Maschinenrahmen im ersten Arbeitsabschnitt im wesentlichen aus zwei parallel zueinander und in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden, in Maschinenquerrichtung voneinander distanzierten Rahmenlängsträgern besteht, die im Bereich zwischen den Schienenfahrwerken lediglich durch eine oberhalb der Laufschienen vorgesehene Querverbindung miteinander verbunden sind, und daß die Transporteinrichtung vom zweiten Arbeitsabschnitt unterhalb der Querverbindung in den ersten Arbeitsabschnitt verfahrbar ausgebildet ist, wobei sich die Laufschienen durchgehend über beide Arbeitsabschnitte erstrecken.This object is achieved with a machine of the generic type in that that the machine frame in the first working section essentially two parallel to each other and in the machine longitudinal direction, in the machine cross direction there are spaced apart frame side members, those in the area between the rail bogies only by one above the cross rails provided are connected to one another, and that the transport device from the second working section below the Cross connection is designed to be movable in the first working section, whereby the running rails extend continuously over both working sections.

Mit einer derartig ausgebildeten Gleisbaumaschine ist es nun in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, völlig problemlos auch mit sperrigen bzw. überdimensionierten Gleiselementen während des Arbeitseinsatzes zu hantieren, die beim Ein- und Umbau von Weichen und dergleichen benötigt werden. Solche Elemente können mittels der Transporteinrichtung z.B. von einem angekuppelten Verladewagen herangebracht und über die Laufschienen bis direkt an die - unterhalb des ersten Arbeitsabschnittes befindliche - Einbaustelle transportiert werden. Das anschließende Manövrieren der Gleiselemente in die gewünschte, korrekte Position gestaltet sich durch die spezielle Ausbildung des Maschinenrahmens besonders einfach, da in dessen unterem Bereich die Rahmenlängsträger keine Querverbindung aufweisen und daher die Bewegungsfreiheit sowie vorteilhafterweise auch die freie Sicht auf die Baustelle unterhalb der Laufschienen durch nichts eingeschränkt ist. Die oberhalb der Laufschienen angeordnete Querverbindung gewährleistet aber trotz dieses optimalen Freiraumes, daß die nötige Verwindungssteifigkeit des Maschinenrahmens auch dann erhalten bleibt, wenn der erste Arbeitsabschnitt durch weite Distanzierung der Schienenfahrwerke voneinander auf ein Maximum erweitert wird. Dies bietet - speziell im Zusammenhang mit der Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 2 - wiederum den Vorteil, Platz für zusätzliche Arbeitsaggregate bzw. mehr Bewegungsfreiheit für das Arbeitspersonal zu schaffen. With such a track construction machine, it is now more advantageous Possible, completely problem-free even with bulky or oversized Track elements to be handled during work, which when moving in and out Conversion of switches and the like are needed. Such elements can by means of the transport device e.g. from a coupled loading wagon brought up and over the running rails to the - below the located in the first working section - to be transported. The then maneuver the track elements into the desired, correct position is particularly shaped by the special design of the machine frame simple, since in the lower area there is no frame side member Have cross-connection and therefore freedom of movement and advantageously also a clear view of the construction site below the running rails nothing is restricted. The cross connection arranged above the running rails guarantees despite this optimal freedom that the necessary The rigidity of the machine frame is maintained even if the first stage of work by far distancing the rail bogies is expanded from one another to a maximum. This offers - especially in context with the training according to claim 2 - again the advantage Space for additional work units or more freedom of movement for the work staff to accomplish.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3 sichert eine optimale Verfahrbarkeit der Transporteinrichtung, die mit den Ausbildungen gemäß den Ansprüchen 4 und 5 auch mit vorteilhaft großer Reichweite zur Bewältigung der verschiedenen, in der Praxis vorkommenden Einsatzsituationen ausgestattet ist.The training according to claim 3 ensures optimal mobility of the Transport device with the training according to claims 4 and 5 also with an advantageous long range to cope with the different in operational situations that occur in practice.

Das in Anspruch 6 beschriebene Merkmal erweist sich als nützlich, um dem Arbeitspersonal einen raschen und vor allem geschützten Zugang zur Gleisbaustelle zu ermöglichen, ohne durch eventuell auf einem Nebengleis vorhandenen Zugsverkehr gefährdet werden zu können.The feature described in claim 6 proves useful to the Workers have quick and, above all, protected access to the track construction site to enable, without through possibly existing on a siding Train traffic can be endangered.

Mit der Variante nach Anspruch 7 und 8 ist es möglich, die Gleisbaumaschine bedarfsweise auf verschiedene Einsatzbedingungen bzw. Transporterfordernisse abzustimmen, während die in Anspruch 9 geoffenbarte Ausbildung die vorteilhafte Eingliederung der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine in eine größere Anlage für Gleisbauarbeiten darstellt.With the variant according to claim 7 and 8, it is possible to build the track construction machine if necessary to different operating conditions or transport requirements vote while the training disclosed in claim 9 the advantageous incorporation of the machine according to the invention into a larger one Plant for track construction works.

Ein Ende des Maschinenrahmens 3 ist mit einem Antriebsfahrzeug 5 gekuppelt, auf dem sich eine zentrale Energiequelle 6 zur Energieversorgung sämtlicher Antriebe der Maschine 1 befindet.The machine 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 or 3 has one on rail bogies 2 stored machine frame 3 and is for implementation of track construction work on a track 4 movable. One end of the machine frame 3 is coupled to a drive vehicle 5 on which a Central energy source 6 for the energy supply of all drives of the machine 1 is located.

    Der Maschinenrahmen 3 ist aufgrund seiner großen Länge in zwei in Maschinenlängsrichtung hintereinander angeordnete und gelenkig miteinander verbundene Rahmenteile 7,8 gegliedert. Der dem Antriebsfahrzeug 5 direkt benachbarte Rahmenteil 7 bildet in einem zwischen zwei Schienenfahrwerken 2 gelegenen Bereich einen ersten Arbeitsabschnitt 9, während der in Maschinenlängsrichtung unmittelbar daran anschließende und sich über den Rahmenteil 8 erstreckende Bereich als zweiter Arbeitsabschnitt 10 definiert ist. Der Rahmenteil 8 ist beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als auf zwei eigenen Schienenfahrwerken 2 abgestützter Plattformwagen 11 ausgebildet, der durch eine Kupplung 12 lösbar mit dem anderen Rahmenteil 7 verbunden ist.Due to its great length, the machine frame 3 is in two in the machine longitudinal direction arranged one behind the other and articulated together Frame parts 7.8 divided. The one directly adjacent to the drive vehicle 5 Frame part 7 forms in between two rail bogies 2 located area a first working section 9, while in the machine longitudinal direction immediately adjoining and over the frame part 8 extending area is defined as the second working section 10. The frame part 8 is in the present embodiment as two of its own Rail carriages 2 supported platform car 11 formed, which is releasably connected to the other frame part 7 by a coupling 12 is.

    Der den ersten Arbeitsabschnitt 9 bildende Rahmenteil 7 des Maschinenrahmens 3 besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei parallel zueinander in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Rahmenlängsträgern 13, die in Maschinenquerrichtung voneinander distanziert sind und die im Bereich des ersten Arbeitsabschnittes 9 nach oben gekröpft geformt sind. Wie aus Fig. 3 deutlich wird, sind die beiden Rahmenlängsträger 13 in diesem zwischen den Schienenfahrwerken 2 befindlichen Bereich ausschließlich durch eine Querverbindung 14 miteinander verbunden, die im oberen Endbereich der Rahmenlängsträger 13 vorgesehen ist. Am vom zweiten Arbeitsabschnitt 10 weiter distanzierten Ende des Maschinenrahmens 3 ist eine Arbeitskabine 26 angeordnet, die mit einem zwischen den beiden Rahmenlängsträgern 13 positionierten Zugang 27 zum Arbeitsbereich bzw. zum Gleis 4 ausgestattet ist.The frame part 7 of the machine frame forming the first working section 9 3 essentially consists of two parallel to each other in the machine longitudinal direction extending frame side members 13 which are in the cross machine direction are distant from each other and in the area of the first working section 9 are shaped cranked upwards. As is clear from Fig. 3, are the two frame side members 13 in this between the rail bogies 2 area located exclusively by a cross connection 14 connected to each other in the upper end area of the frame side members 13 is provided. At a further distance from the second working section 10 At the end of the machine frame 3, a work cabin 26 is arranged with an access positioned between the two frame side members 13 27 to the work area or track 4.

    Der Maschinenrahmen 3 weist weiters ein Paar Laufschienen 15 auf, die sich in Maschinenlängsrichtung über den ersten und zweiten Arbeitsabschnitt 9,10 erstrecken und die in einer unmittelbar oberhalb der Schienenfahrwerke 2 gelegenen Ebene 16 angeordnet sind, wobei diese Ebene mit der Ladefläche 17 des Plattformwagens 11 zusammenfällt und die Laufschienen 15 im Bereich des zweiten Arbeitsabschnittes 10 auf der Ladefläche 17 aufliegen. Im Bereich des ersten Arbeitsabschnittes 9 bzw. des gekröpften Rahmenteiles 7 sind die Laufschienen 15 über - in regelmäßigen Abständen voneinander in Maschinenlängsrichtung distanziert angeordnete - vertikale Stützen 29 mit den Rahmenlängsträgern 13 verbunden. Die horizontale Distanzierung der beiden Laufschienen 15 entspricht in etwa dem Abstand der beiden Rahmenlängsträger 13 zueinander (Fig. 3).The machine frame 3 also has a pair of running rails 15 which in the machine longitudinal direction over the first and second working sections 9.10 and extend in a directly above the rail undercarriage 2 level 16 are arranged, this level with the loading area 17 of the platform carriage 11 coincides and the running rails 15 in the area of the second working section 10 on the loading surface 17 lie on. In the area of the first working section 9 or the cranked one Frame part 7 are the rails 15 over - at regular intervals spaced from each other in the machine longitudinal direction - vertical Supports 29 connected to the frame side members 13. The horizontal distancing the two rails 15 corresponds approximately to the distance of the two frame side members 13 to each other (Fig. 3).

    Auf den Laufschienen 15 ist eine selbstverfahrbare Transporteinrichtung 18 gelagert, die mit einem Antrieb 51 ausgestattet und anhand dieses unterhalb der - oberhalb der Laufschienen 15 vorgesehenen - Querverbindung 14 der Rahmenlängsträger 13 vom zweiten Arbeitsabschnitt 10 in den ersten Arbeitsabschnitt 9 verfahrbar ist. Die Transporteinrichtung 18 ist als Portalkran 19 ausgebildet, der Schienenfahrwerke 20 sowie an jedem Längsende 23 je eine Fahrkabine 21 aufweist, in denen jeweils eine zentrale Steuereinrichtung 22 angeordnet ist. Des weiteren ist die Transporteinrichtung 18 mit zwei jeweils in Maschinenlängsrichtung über ein Längsende 23 des Portalkranes 19 vorkragenden Greifvorrichtungen 24 versehen, die durch Antriebe 25 höhen- und seitenverstellbar ausgebildet und zum Erfassen und Transportieren von Gleisteilen vorgesehen sind. Alternativ wäre es natürlich auch möglich, die Laufschienen 15 beispielsweise an der Unterseite der Querverbindung 14 zu befestigen und die Transporteinrichtung 18 auf den Laufschienen 15 hängend zu verfahren.A self-propelled transport device 18 is located on the running rails 15 stored, equipped with a drive 51 and based on this below the - provided above the rails 15 - cross connection 14 of Frame side members 13 from the second working section 10 into the first working section 9 is movable. The transport device 18 is a gantry crane 19 formed, the rail bogies 20 and 23 at each longitudinal end has a driving cabin 21, in each of which a central control device 22 is arranged. The transport device 18 is also included two each in the machine longitudinal direction over a longitudinal end 23 of the gantry crane 19 projecting gripping devices 24 provided by drives 25 height and side adjustable and for gripping and transporting of track parts are provided. Of course, it would also be an alternative possible, the rails 15 for example on the underside of the cross connection 14 to fasten and the transport device 18 on the rails 15 hanging process.

    In Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, daß ein zu transportierender Schienenteil 52 eines Weichenabschnittes zwischen der Unterseite der Fahrkabine 21 und der Ebene der Laufschienen 15 positionierbar ist. Der Einfachheit halber sind die die Laufschienen 15 tragenden Greifvorrichtungen 24 nicht dargestellt.In Fig. 3 it can be seen that a rail part 52 to be transported one Switch section between the underside of the cab 21 and the Level of the rails 15 is positionable. Are for the sake of simplicity the gripping devices 24 carrying the rails 15 are not shown.

    Im Arbeitseinsatz wird die Maschine 1 mittels des Antriebsfahrzeuges 5 zur Gleisbaustelle verfahren und so positioniert, daß sich der erste Arbeitsabschnitt 9 des Maschinenrahmens 3 über der zu bearbeitenden Stelle im Gleis 4 befindet. Anhand des praktisch über die gesamte Länge der Maschine 1 verfahrbaren Portalkranes 19 werden die auszutauschenden bzw. zum Einbau ins Gleis benötigten Schienenteile 52 zwischen dem ersten Arbeitsabschnitt 9 und dem - zur Materiallagerung dienenden - Plattformwagen 11 des zweiten Arbeitsabschnittes 10 hin- und hertransportiert. Aufgrund der tunnelartigen Ausbildung des den ersten Arbeitsabschnitt 9 bildenden Rahmenteiles 7 oberhalb der Laufschienen 15 ist der Portalkran 19 ungehindert über den gesamten Arbeitsbereich verfahrbar, während gleichzeitig die Greifvorrichtungen 24 sowohl nach unten als auch auf Gleisniveau zur Seite hin uneingeschränkt verschwenkbar sind und so mannigfaltig einsetzbar sind. Über den Zugang 27 der Arbeitskabine 26 können vom Arbeitspersonal weiters Handwerkzeuge etc. zur Arbeitsstelle gebracht werden. Es wäre aber auch denkbar, in diesem Bereich ein Arbeitsaggregat, wie etwa beispielsweise eine (in strichpunktierten Linien angedeutete) Schienenschweißeinheit 28 höhen- und seitenverstellbar anzuordnen und diese in Verbindung mit der Transporteinrichtung 18 zum Einsatz zu bringen. Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß bei der gesamten Manipulation der abzutransportierenden bzw. einzubauenden Gleisteile das Lichtraumprofil nicht überschritten werden muß.In work, the machine 1 by means of the drive vehicle 5 Track construction site move and positioned so that the first working section 9 of the machine frame 3 above the point to be machined in Track 4 is located. Based on practically the entire length of the machine 1 movable gantry cranes 19 are the to be replaced or Installation in the track required rail parts 52 between the first working section 9 and the - used for material storage - platform car 11 des second working section 10 transported back and forth.
