Its lower face (12) is supported on the ballast and the upper face (13) supports a stock rail (CA) and rail point (RA). The upper face has a central longitudinal groove (14) along its length. An edge (15) receives the fixings (F) for holding the stock rail. The edge is situated on either side the groove and on the upper face. The width (1) of the groove is between a quarter and half the width (L) of the sleeper. The groove depth (P) is between about a quarter and a half of the sleeper height (H). The groove is locally closed by a cover (16) resting on the edges.

Description

La présente invention concerne les appareils pour voies ferroviaires, et a plus particulièrement pour objet un dispositif de manoeuvre perfectionné pour l'installation d'appareils de voie ferrée tels des aiguillages, qui comprennent des traverses.The present invention relates to apparatus for railways, and more particularly relates to an improved operating device for the installation of railway apparatuses such as switches, which include sleepers.

Comme on le sait, les aiguillages ferroviaires qui comprennent pour chaque file de rails un rail contre-aiguille fixe et un rail aiguille mobile, tous deux reposant sur des traverses, permettent de faire passer des convois d'un itinéraire principal vers un itinéraire dévié et sont commandés à l'aide de dispositifs de manoeuvre qui sont équipés de systèmes de sécurité tels des verrous, des calages ou encore des électro-mécanismes dits "contrôleurs" dans la technique.As is known, railway switches which comprise a fixed counter-needle rail and a movable needle rail for each line of rails, both resting on cross-members, make it possible to pass convoys from a main route to a deviated route and are controlled using operating devices which are fitted with security systems such as locks, wedges or even electro-mechanisms known as "controllers" in the art.

Les dispositifs de manoeuvre habituellement utilisés peuvent être regroupés en deux grands types.The operating devices usually used can be grouped into two main types.

Les dispositifs de manoeuvre du premier type, comme cela est clairement illustré sur la Fig.1A, comprennent un actionneur ou un moteur unique qui agit sur les rails aiguilles par l'intermédiaire d'une timonerie ou un ensemble de tringles reliant les différents points de manoeuvre des rails aiguilles qui sont répartis habituellement au long de ceux-ci à partir de leur pointe, et dont certaines tringles peuvent être simples ou dédoublées, les unes servant à maintenir l'écartement entre les rails aiguilles et les autres servant à produire le déplacement des rails aiguilles.Maneuvering devices of the first type, as clearly illustrated in FIG. 1A, include a single actuator or motor which acts on the needle rails by means of a wheelhouse or a set of rods connecting the different points of operation of the needle rails which are usually distributed along the latter starting from their point, and of which some rods can be simple or split, some serving to maintain the spacing between the needle rails and others serving to produce the displacement needle rails.

Les dispositifs de manoeuvre du second type, comme cela est clairement illustré sur la Fig.1B, comprennent plusieurs actionneurs ou moteurs dont un dit "maître" et le ou les autres dits "esclaves", qui sont mis en oeuvre en synchronisme pour agir chacun aux différents points de manoeuvre des rails aiguilles répartis au long de ceux-ci à partir de leur pointe.The operating devices of the second type, as is clearly illustrated in FIG. 1B, comprise several actuators or motors, one of which is said to be "master" and the other or so-called "slaves", which are used in synchronism to act each at the various points of operation of the needle rails distributed along these from their tip.

Quel que soit le type auquel appartient un dispositif de manoeuvre, on observera qu'il comprend toujours des tringles qui relient les différents éléments entre eux, que les tringles disposées perpendiculairement à la voie ainsi que le(s) moteur(s) sont situés entre deux traverses successives et que les tringles disposées parallèlement à la voie sont situées au-dessus du niveau supérieur des traverses. Ces dispositions sont classiques, que le moteur soit de type électro-mécanique ou électro-hydraulique, qu'il manoeuvre les aiguilles individuellement ou par paire comme représenté.Whatever the type to which an operating device belongs, it will be observed that it always comprises rods which connect the various elements together, that the rods arranged perpendicular to the track as well as the motor (s) are located between two successive sleepers and that the rods arranged parallel to the track are located above the upper level of the sleepers. These arrangements are conventional, whether the motor is of electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic type, whether it operates the needles individually or in pairs as shown.

De tels dispositifs de manoeuvre sont aussi équipés de système de sécurité qui permettent de caler ou de verrouiller les aiguilles dans leur position de service. Ces systèmes peuvent être incorporés au moteur ou déportés au niveau des aiguilles, comme le verrou connu dans la technique sous le nom de verrou carter coussinet, dit verrou "CC".Such maneuvering devices are also equipped with a safety system which makes it possible to wedge or lock the needles in their service position. These systems can be incorporated into the motor or offset at the level of the needles, like the lock known in the art under the name of casing bearing lock, known as "CC" lock.

La position effectivement occupée par les divers constituants mobiles d'un aiguillage est "confirmée" par des "contrôleurs" situés dans le moteur tel celui dit à barres de contrôle, dans les verrous, ou bien encore indépendants tel celui dit contrôleur conduit ou mené mécaniquement connu dans la technique sous le nom de contrôleur PAULVE.The position actually occupied by the various moving components of a switch is "confirmed" by "controllers" located in the engine such as that called with control bars, in locks, or even independent such as that said mechanically driven or driven controller known in the art as the PAULVE controller.

Hormis le verrou "CC", ces systèmes de sécurité et contrôleurs sont aussi installés entre deux traverses successives.Apart from the "CC" lock, these security systems and controllers are also installed between two successive sleepers.

Après avoir posé un appareil neuf ou pour effectuer son entretien, on procède à une opération dite de "ballastage", c'est-à-dire à la mise en place du ballast fait d'un granulat de roche concassée de taille bien déterminée ; ce ballast est ensuite "bourré" sous les traverses. Lors d'une telle opération de "bourrage", du fait de leur disposition brièvement rappelée auparavant, les tringles se trouvent cachées par du ballast et risquent d'être endommagées. Pour éviter ce risque, on démonte donc habituellement les tringles en question avant de procéder à l'opération de "bourrage". Cette opération préalable de démontage nécessite du temps et conduit à la perte du réglage initial qu'il faut donc refaire lors du remontage des tringles, d'où un coût additionnel important.After having installed a new device or to carry out its maintenance, one proceeds to a so-called "ballasting" operation, that is to say the installation of the ballast made of a crushed rock aggregate of good size determined; this ballast is then "stuffed" under the sleepers. During such a "stuffing" operation, due to their arrangement briefly recalled previously, the rods are hidden by ballast and risk being damaged. To avoid this risk, the rods in question are therefore usually dismantled before carrying out the "stuffing" operation. This prior disassembly operation requires time and leads to the loss of the initial adjustment, which must therefore be redone during the reassembly of the rods, hence a significant additional cost.

Outre cet inconvénient, les tringles qui relient notamment les points de manoeuvre situés en saillie risquent d'être déformées à l'occasion du déchargement du ballast.In addition to this drawback, the rods which in particular connect the projecting maneuvering points risk being deformed when the ballast is unloaded.

De plus, en cours de fonctionnement, des tringles peuvent se trouver entravées, coincées et bloquées par des pierres du ballast venant à rouler dans les "chambrées" c'est-à-dire dans l'intervalle entre deux traverses successives.In addition, during operation, rods can be hindered, trapped and blocked by stones from the ballast coming to roll in the "chambers" that is to say in the interval between two successive sleepers.

A ces inconvénients liés à l'entretien de la voie, s'ajoutent les risques de blocage des articulations exposées aux intempéries en cas de gel, la glace ou le givre immobilisant les articulations et rendant impossible le fonctionnement d'un aiguillage.In addition to these drawbacks linked to track maintenance, there is the risk of blocking the joints exposed to the weather in the event of frost, ice or frost immobilizing the joints and making it impossible to operate a switch.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à la plupart des inconvénients brièvement rappelés auparavant à l'aide d'un dispositif de manoeuvre perfectionné pour appareil de voie ferroviaire tel un aiguillage, qui permet de faire en sorte que les "chambrées" de ballast soient entièrement libres de tout obstacle, et de manière que les tringles des dispositifs de manoeuvre reliant les différents points de manoeuvre des rails aiguilles, soient situées au-dessous du niveau de la face supérieure des traverses et soient donc protégées.The object of the invention is to remedy most of the drawbacks briefly recalled previously using an improved operating device for a railway track apparatus such as a switch, which makes it possible to ensure that the "chambers" of ballast are completely free of any obstacle, and so that the rods of the operating devices connecting the various operating points of the needle rails, are located below from the level of the upper face of the sleepers and are therefore protected.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de manoeuvre notamment pour appareil de voie ferroviaire tel un aiguillage, qui comprend au moins une traverse spécialement aménagée et une disposition particulière des tringles. La traverse comprend un corps longiligne de largeur et de hauteur déterminées, avec une face inférieure pour prendre appui sur un ballast ou similaire et avec une face supérieure pour supporter, directement ou indirectement, notamment un rail contre-aiguille et un rail aiguille. Cette traverse est remarquable en ce que sa face supérieure est creusée sur toute sa longueur d'une rainure longitudinale de préférence pratiquement médiane de largeur et de profondeur déterminées, de manière à ménager de part et d'autre de cette rainure et sur cette face supérieure un rebord apte à recevoir des moyens de fixation pour y maintenir au moins le rail contre aiguille.The subject of the invention is an operating device, in particular for a railway track apparatus such as a switch, which comprises at least one specially fitted cross member and a particular arrangement of the rods. The cross member comprises a slender body of determined width and height, with a lower face for bearing on a ballast or the like and with an upper face for supporting, directly or indirectly, in particular a counter-needle rail and a needle rail. This crosspiece is remarkable in that its upper face is hollowed out over its entire length with a longitudinal groove preferably practically median of determined width and depth, so as to provide on either side of this groove and on this upper face a rim capable of receiving fixing means for holding therein at least the rail against the needle.

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

Other characteristics of the invention will emerge from reading the description and the claims which follow, as well as from examining the figures of the drawing, given by way of example, where:

Les voies ferroviaires et les appareils de voies dont elles sont équipées tels les aiguillages, étant bien connus dans la technique, on ne décrira par la suite que ce qui concerne directement ou indirectement l'invention. Pour le surplus l'Homme du Métier du secteur technique considéré puisera dans les solutions classiques courantes à sa disposition pour faire face au problème particulier auquel il est confronté.The railway tracks and the track apparatuses with which they are equipped such as the switches, being well known in the art, we will only describe below what relates directly or indirectly to the invention. For the rest, the skilled person in the technical sector considered will draw on the current conventional solutions at his disposal to face the particular problem with which he is confronted.

Comme on le voit, une traverse 10 d'un dispositif de manoeuvre selon l'invention, faite par exemple en béton armé ou précontraint comme il est traditionnel, présente des dimensions extérieures qui sont par exemple conformes à celles adoptées pour les normes des traverses du réseau dont elles font partie.As can be seen, a cross member 10 of an operating device according to the invention, made for example of reinforced concrete or prestressed as it is traditional, has external dimensions which, for example, conform to those adopted for the standards of the cross members of the network of which they are a part.

Comme on le voit en particulier sur la vue de la Fig.3 une telle traverse 10 comprend un corps 11 longiligne, à section droite rectangulaire ou trapézoïdale, avec une face 12 inférieure apte à prendre appui sur un ballast ou similaire, et avec une face 13 supérieure apte à supporter directement ou indirectement par l'entremise d'une selle, coussinet de glissement ou similaire notamment un rail contre-aiguille CA et un rail aiguille RA. La face supérieure 13 est échancrée en totalité suivant son axe longitudinal de manière à y ménager une rainure 14 pratiquement médiane de largeur et de profondeur déterminées. De cette manière on ménage sur la surface supérieure 13, de part et d'autre de la rainure longitudinale 14, des rebords 15.As can be seen in particular in the view in FIG. 3 such a cross member 10 comprises a slender body 11, of rectangular or trapezoidal cross section, with a lower face 12 capable of bearing on a ballast or the like, and with a face 13 upper capable of supporting directly or indirectly through a saddle, sliding pad or the like, in particular a CA needle rail and a RA needle rail. The upper face 13 is completely indented along its longitudinal axis so as to form therein a substantially median groove 14 of determined width and depth. In this way flanges 15 are formed on the upper surface 13, on either side of the longitudinal groove 14.

Ces rebords sont destinés à recevoir des moyens de fixation F de tout type approprié connu tels que des prisonniers ou inserts, noyés dans le corps, par exemple à base de matière synthétique, aptes à recevoir des tirefond ou similaires ou bien des tirants métalliques ou similaires ancrés dans le corps, par exemple métalliques, aptes à recevoir des boulons ou des spires faisant fonction de ressort du type de celle connue dans la technique ferroviaire sous le non d'attache PANDROL.These flanges are intended to receive fastening means F of any suitable known type such as prisoners or inserts, embedded in the body, for example based on synthetic material, suitable for receiving lag screws or the like or metal or similar tie rods anchored in the body, for example metallic, capable of receiving bolts or turns acting as a spring of the type known in the railway technique under the PANDROL attachment.

Selon l'invention la largeur 1 de la rainure 14 est de l'ordre du quart à la moitié de la largeur L de la traverse, et la profondeur p de la rainure 14 est de l'ordre du quart à la moitié de la hauteur H de la traverse.According to the invention the width 1 of the groove 14 is of the order of a quarter to half the width L of the cross member, and the depth p of the groove 14 is of the order of a quarter to half the height H of the sleeper.

De tels moyens de fixation permettent de maintenir, directement ou indirectement sur la traverse, les ailes d'un patin P d'un rail, ou des selles ou bien des coussinets de glissement C ou similaires, comme il est bien connu.Such fixing means make it possible to maintain, directly or indirectly on the cross-member, the wings of a pad P of a rail, or saddles or else sliding pads C or the like, as is well known.

La rainure ainsi ménagée dans la traverse forme un logement qui permet le libre passage d'au moins une tringle d'un dispositif de manoeuvre qui peut ainsi s'y mouvoir.The groove thus formed in the cross member forms a housing which allows the free passage of at least one rod of an operating device which can thus move there.

S'il y a lieu et de préférence, cette rainure 14 est au moins partiellement close par un capot 16 ou similaire, par exemple en tôle ou autre matériau, qui prend appui et est fixé de toute manière appropriée connue par exemple par des vis, sur les rebords 15 de la face supérieure 13 de la traverse qui encadrent la rainure 14 longitudinale médiane.If necessary and preferably, this groove 14 is at least partially closed by a cover 16 or the like, for example of sheet metal or other material, which is supported and is fixed in any suitable known manner for example by screws, on the flanges 15 of the upper face 13 of the crosspiece which frame the longitudinal longitudinal groove 14.

Pour pouvoir installer des dispositifs de manoeuvre 100 en se servant de traverses spécialement aménagées suivant l'invention, il est nécessaire de modifier quelque peu ces derniers de manière que la timonerie 120 et en particulier les tringles 121 reliant les différents points de manoeuvre d'un rail-aiguille, et les constituants du contrôleur 130 soient effectivement situées au-dessous du niveau supérieur de la face supérieure des traverses et se trouvent réellement protégées.To be able to install operating devices 100 by using sleepers specially fitted out according to the invention, it is necessary to modify them somewhat so that the wheelhouse 120 and in particular the linkages 121 connecting the different operating points of a needle rail, and the components of the controller 130 are effectively located below the upper level of the upper face of the sleepers and are actually protected.

Pour plus ample information concernant notamment les dispositifs de manoeuvre et les contrôleurs en général, on pourra utilement se reporter à l'ouvrage de Jean ALIAS intitulé "La voie ferrée" édité par la librairie Eyrolles.For further information concerning in particular the maneuvering devices and the controllers in general, one can usefully refer to the work of Jean ALIAS entitled "The railway" published by the Eyrolles bookshop.

Comme on le voit, le "cé-main" traditionnel du verrou comprend un "cé" 131 qui est monté articulé sur la "main" 131' portée en pointe du rail aiguille ; ce "cé" 131 forme un pêne de verrou et est déporté de telle manière que le trou recevant habituellement l'axe d'articulation de la tringle 121 dégage le patin P du rail aiguille RA tout en restant situé au-dessus de la traverse. La fixation de la gâche ou bâti du verrou 132 à la traverse est faite de préférence élastiquement de manière indirecte, c'est-à-dire qu'elle n'est pas établie directement sur la traverse mais s'il y a lieu par l'intermédiaire d'une selle ou similaire elle-même fixée sur la traverse. Une butée 133 ou similaire est fixée rigidement directement à la traverse afin de limiter dans un sens les déplacements de la gâche du verrou qui est reliée, comme indiqué précédemment, indirectement à la traverse. On observera que la paroi de la butée qui limite les déplacements de la gâche du verrou reçoit s'il y a lieu un tampon élastique, et présente un profil courbe, par exemple circulaire, qui permet une orientation angulaire de la gâche du verrou.As can be seen, the traditional "hand" of the lock comprises a "hand" 131 which is articulated on the "hand" 131 'carried at the tip of the needle rail; this "cé" 131 forms a bolt bolt and is offset so that the hole usually receiving the hinge pin of the rod 121 releases the shoe P from the needle rail RA while remaining located above the cross member. The fixing of the strike or frame of the latch 132 to the cross member is preferably made elastically indirectly, that is to say that it is not established directly on the cross member but if necessary by the 'through a saddle or the like itself fixed on the crosspiece. A stop 133 or the like is rigidly fixed directly to the cross member in order to limit in one direction the displacements of the keeper of the lock which is connected, as indicated above, indirectly to the cross member. It will be observed that the wall of the stop which limits the displacements of the keeper of the lock receives, if necessary, an elastic buffer, and has a curved profile, for example circular, which allows an angular orientation of the latch strike.

L'actionneur ou moteur de manoeuvre 110 par exemple du type dit à bras horizontal à débattement angulaire ou dit à barre à crémaillère est, en section droite, similaire à la section droite de la traverse spéciale du dispositif selon l'invention, et est fixé de toute manière appropriée classique, à cette dernière dans son prolongement. On voit donc que la tringle de manoeuvre qui sort de ce moteur est au droit de la rainure de la traverse.The actuator or maneuvering motor 110 for example of the type known as a horizontal arm with angular movement or said with a rack bar is, in cross section, similar to the cross section of the special cross member of the device according to the invention, and is fixed in any suitable conventional manner, to the latter in its extension. It can therefore be seen that the operating rod coming out of this motor is in line with the groove of the cross-member.

Lorsqu'on utilise un contrôleur du type par exemple PAULVE ou autre, qui permet de connaître la position "décollée" ou appliquée du rail-aiguille, c'est-à-dire respectivement séparée du rail contre aiguille ou au contact de ce dernier, ce contrôleur est par exemple monté sur une ferrure de tout type approprié classique fixée à l'âme du rail contre-aiguille, au droit de la traverse, pour faire en sorte que son bras conducteur 135 passe sous le rail contre-aiguille, dans la rainure de la traverse et est engagé soit directement dans un alésage 136 du patin P du rail-aiguille RA, soit dans un alésage d'une patte de tout type approprié classique, rapportée et fixée à l'âme du rail-aiguille. Quel que soit le montage adopté, on utilise de préférence un tampon élastique de manière à obtenir une articulation souple. Selon un autre mode de liaison, le bras conducteur du controleur est associé directement à l'axe d'articulation de la tringle d'écartement sur le rail-aiguille, et le tampon élastique est alors porté par le bras du controleur.When using a controller of the PAULVE or other type, for example, which makes it possible to know the "detached" or applied position of the needle rail, that is to say respectively separated from the rail against the needle or in contact with the latter, this controller is for example mounted on a fitting of any conventional suitable type fixed to the core of the needle rail, in line with the cross-member, so that its conductive arm 135 passes under the needle rail, in the groove of the cross member and is engaged either directly in a bore 136 of the pad P of the needle rail RA, or in a bore of a tab of any conventional suitable type, attached and fixed to the core of the needle rail. Whatever the assembly adopted, an elastic buffer is preferably used so as to obtain a flexible articulation. According to another mode of connection, the conductive arm of the controller is associated directly with the axis of articulation of the spacer rod on the needle rail, and the elastic pad is then carried by the arm of the controller.

L'une au moins des tringles qui relie les deux rails-aiguilles est fixée ou "attelée" soit directement au patin d'un rail-aiguille, soit indirectement à celui-ci par l'intermédiaire d'au moins une patte de tout type approprié classique, fixée à l'âme d'un rail aiguille de manière à ce que la tringle puisse se déplacer dans la rainure de la traverse.At least one of the rods which connects the two needle rails is fixed or "coupled" either directly to the shoe of a needle rail, or indirectly to the latter by means of at least one tab of any type. suitable classic, fixed to the core of a needle rail so that the rod can move in the groove of the crosspiece.

Comme on le voit sur les figures schématiques du dessin, lorsqu'on utilise un dispositif de manoeuvre à actionneurs ou moteurs multiples, le ou les moteurs esclaves 112, de préférence du même type que le moteur maître 111, est ou sont fixés de la même manière en extrémité de traverse.As can be seen in the schematic figures of the drawing, when an operating device with multiple actuators or motors is used, the slave motor or motors 112, preferably of the same type as the master motor 111, is or are fixed in the same way way at the end of the crosspiece.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré sur la Fig.6, un moteur esclave 112 peut être installé entre les rails-aiguilles, pratiquement dans l'axe de la voie. Dans un tel cas, la traverse spéciale du dispositif selon l'invention se trouve réduite à des éléments racourcis de traverses dits "blochets" ou "ablots" 10 dans la technique, qui sont munis de la même rainure longitudinale. Le moteur est alors fixé aux deux blochets ou ablots qui l'encadrent. Ce moteur esclave est alors remarquable en ce qu'il présente deux sorties opposées qui permettent de commander les rails-aiguilles simultanément ou selon un certain synchronisme grâce auquel on déplace d'abord seul l'un des rails-aiguilles, puis simultanément les deux rails-aiguilles et finalement seul l'autre rail-aiguille. Cette commande synchronisée des deux rails-aiguilles permet de tenir compte de la cinématique réelle lorsqu'aucune compensation n'est assurée par une flexion selon sa longueur d'un rail aiguille pour tenir compte de la position des points de manoeuvre au long d'un rail-aiguille.According to another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, a slave motor 112 can be installed between the needle rails, practically in the axis of the track. In such a case, the special cross-member of the device according to the invention is reduced to shortened elements of cross-pieces known as "blocks" or "ablots" in the art, which are provided with the same longitudinal groove. The motor is then fixed to the two blocks or ablots which frame it. This slave motor is then remarkable in that it has two opposite outputs which make it possible to control the needle rails simultaneously or according to a certain synchronism by which first one of the needle rails is moved alone, then simultaneously the two rails. - needles and finally only the other needle-rail. This synchronized control of the two needle rails makes it possible to take account of the real kinematics when no compensation is ensured by bending along its length of a needle rail to take account of the position of the maneuvering points along a needle rail.

Les renvois de transmission et les mécanismes de réduction de course qui tiennent compte des diverses positions des points de manoeuvre des rails-aiguilles en "pointe", intermédiaire ou en "talon" ou similaire, sont placés à l'extrémité des traverses de préférence dans des caissons par exemple métallique, et les tringles de liaison sont logées dans des caniveaux à couvercle pour assurer leur protection comme schématisé sur les Fig.8 et 9.Transmission references and stroke reduction mechanisms which take into account the various positions of the operating points of the needle rails in "toe", intermediate or "bead" or similar, are preferably placed at the end of the crosspieces in boxes, for example metallic, and the connecting rods are housed in gutters with cover to ensure their protection as shown diagrammatically in Figs. 8 and 9.

Ce qui précède met bien en lumière les particularités de l'invention, l'intérêt qu'elle offre et les avantages qu'elle procure.The foregoing clearly highlights the features of the invention, the value it offers and the advantages it provides.
