Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for railway tracks, and more particularly has for object an improved operating device for installation railway equipment such as switches, which include sleepers.
  • the railway switches which include a needle rail for each line of rails fixed and a movable needle rail, both resting on sleepers, allow passing convoys from a main route to a deviated route and are controlled using operating devices which are equipped with security systems such as locks, timing or electro-mechanisms called “controllers" in the technique.
  • Maneuvering devices usually used can be grouped into two main types.
  • Maneuvering devices of the first type include a single actuator or motor which acts on the needle rails via a wheelhouse or a set of rods connecting the different points of operation of the needle rails which are usually distributed along these from their tip, and some of which can be single or split, some used to maintain the spacing between the needle rails and the others used to produce the displacement of the needle rails.
  • Operating devices of the second type include several actuators or motors, one of which says “master” and the other so-called “slaves”, which are used in synchronism to act each at different points of maneuvering of the needle rails distributed along these from their tip.
  • Such operating devices are also fitted with security systems which allow stalling or lock the needles in their service position.
  • security systems can be incorporated into the engine or offset at needle level, like the known lock in the art under the name of casing bearing lock, says "CC" lock.
  • controllers located in the engine like that said in control bars, in locks, or even independent such as said controller led or led mechanically known in the art as PAULVE controller.
  • ballast that is to say the installation of the ballast made of a well-sized crushed rock aggregate determined; this ballast is then "stuffed” under the sleepers.
  • ballast makes their provision briefly recalled before, the rods are hidden by ballast and risk to be damaged. To avoid this risk, we therefore usually dismantles the rods in question before to proceed with the "stuffing" operation. This operation dismantling requires time and leads to loss of the initial setting which must therefore be redone during the reassembly of the rods, hence a significant additional cost.
  • the rods which connect in particular the projecting maneuvering points may be deformed when unloading the ballast.
  • rods may be hindered, trapped and blocked by ballast stones coming to roll in the "chambers" that is to say in the interval between two sleepers successive.
  • Document CH-621,168 describes an operating device in which operating rods, a control mechanism and a device indicator are wrapped in a box beam.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy most disadvantages briefly recalled before using an improved operating device for a rail track such as a switch, which makes it possible to so that the ballast "chambers" are fully free of any obstacle, and so that the rods operating devices connecting the different points for operating the needle rails, are located below of the level of the upper face of the sleepers and are therefore protected.
  • the subject of the invention is an operating device according to claim 1.
  • a cross-member 10 of a device of operation according to the invention made for example of concrete reinforced or prestressed as it is traditional, present external dimensions which for example conform to those adopted for network sleeper standards of which they are a part.
  • such a cross member 10 comprises a long body 11, rectangular or trapezoidal cross section, with a lower face 12 capable of bearing on a ballast or similar, and with a suitable upper face 13 to be supported 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 according to its longitudinal axis so as to provide a groove 14 practically median of determined width and depth. In this way we clean on the upper surface 13, on either side of the longitudinal groove 14, ledges 15.
  • attachment F of any known suitable type such as prisoners or inserts, drowned in the body, for example based on synthetic material, suitable for receiving lag bolt or the like or metal tie rods or similar anchored in the body, for example metallic, suitable for receiving functioning bolts or turns of the type known in the art railway under the name of attachment PANDROL.
  • the width l 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 cross.
  • Such fixing means make it possible to maintain, directly or indirectly on the sleeper, the wings of a pad P of a rail, or saddles or else sliding pads C or the like, as it is well known.
  • 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 be there move.
  • this groove 14 is at least partially closed by a cover 16 or similar, such as sheet metal or other material, which is supported and secured in any known suitable manner for example by screws, on the edges 15 of the face upper 13 of the crosspiece which surround the groove 14 longitudinal median.
  • a cover 16 or similar such as sheet metal or other material, which is supported and secured in any known suitable manner for example by screws, on the edges 15 of the face upper 13 of the crosspiece which surround the groove 14 longitudinal median.
  • the traditional "hand” of the lock includes a “cé” 131 which is mounted articulated on the "hand” 131 'carried at the tip of the needle rail; this "c” 131 forms a bolt bolt and is offset from such so that the hole usually receiving the hinge pin of the rod 121 releases the shoe P from the rail RA needle while remaining located above the cross member.
  • Attaching the strike plate or lock 132 frame to the cross member is preferably made elastically so indirect, i.e. it is not established directly on the sleeper but if necessary via a saddle or the like itself attached to the crosses.
  • a stop 133 or the like is rigidly fixed directly to the crosspiece in order to limit in one direction the displacements of the keeper of the bolt which is connected, as indicated previously, indirectly at the crosspiece.
  • the wall of the stop which limits the displacements of the lock striker receives a buffer if necessary elastic, and has a curved profile, for example circular, which allows angular orientation of the latch strike.
  • the actuator or drive motor 110 by example of the so-called horizontal arm type angular or said with rack bar is, in section straight, similar to the cross section of the cross device according to the invention, and is fixed any classic appropriate way, to the latter in its extension. So we see that the operating rod coming out of this motor is at the right of the groove of the crosses.
  • 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, to make its conductive arm 135 pass under the needle rail, in the groove of the crosspiece and is engaged either directly in a bore 136 of the skid P of the needle rail RA, either in a bore of a lug of any suitable classic type, attached and attached to the core of the needle rail.
  • a type controller example PAULVE or other which allows to know the position "detached” or applied from the needle rail, that is to say respectively separated from the rail against needle or at contact of 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, to make its conductive arm 135 pass under the needle rail, in the groove of the crosspiece and is engaged either directly in a bore 136 of the skid P of the needle rail RA, either in a bore of a lug of any suitable classic type, attached and attached to the core of the needle rail.
  • At least one of the rods that connects the two needle rails is fixed or "coupled” either directly to the shoe of a needle rail, either indirectly to it through at least one tab of any type suitable classic, attached to the core of a needle rail so that the rod can move in the cross groove.
  • the slave motor (s) 112 when using an operating device with multiple actuators or motors, the slave motor (s) 112, preferably of the same type as the master engine 111, is or are fixed in the same way at the end of crosses.
  • a slave motor 112 can be installed between the needle rails, practically in line with the track.
  • the special crosspiece of the device according to the invention is reduced to shortened elements of sleepers known as "blochets" or “ablots” 10 in the technique, which have the same longitudinal groove.
  • the motor is then attached to the two blocks or ablots which frame it.
  • This slave engine is then remarkable in that that it has two opposite outputs which allow order the needle rails simultaneously or according to a certain synchronism thanks to which we first move alone one of the needle rails, then simultaneously both needle rails and finally only the other needle rail.
  • This synchronized control of the two needle rails allows to take into account the real kinematics when none compensation is only ensured by bending according to its length from a needle rail to account for the position of the maneuvering points along a needle rail.
