Abstract

The slide (4) to which the connector (1) is fixed works via a lengthwise guide (5) in the coupling head. The tappet (8) slides in its lengthwise direction in the end plate (9) of the head (3), beyond which it protrudes when the connector is retracted for a predetermined amount. On coupling up, it thrusts the connector forward via the lever (7) into the engaged position. A shutter hinges on a flange fixed to the head and protects the electrical contacts, being swung open by forward movement of the connector, and shutting on retraction.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kabelkupplung für Schienenfahrzeuge, die in Stoßrichtung an einer mechanischen Mittelpufferkupplung über eine Längsführung längsverschiebar gehalten ist.The invention relates to a cable coupling for rail vehicles, which is held longitudinally displaceably in the direction of impact on a mechanical central buffer coupling via a longitudinal guide.

Eine derartige Kabelkupplung ist aus der DE-PS 1 020 361 bekannt. Die Führung der Kabelkupplung erfolgt an einer Stange, die an der Steinplatte und rückwärts davon am Kupplungskopf befestigt ist. Die Längsverschiebung der Kabelkupplung soll mittels Druckluft, d. h. durch einen zusätzlichen Antrieb erfolgen. Eine Lösung zur stirnseitigen Abdeckung der Kontakte der Kabelkupplung ist hier nicht angegeben.Such a cable coupling is known from DE-PS 1 020 361. The cable coupling is guided on a rod which is attached to the stone slab and backwards to the coupling head. The longitudinal displacement of the cable coupling should be by means of compressed air, i.e. H. by an additional drive. A solution for the front cover of the contacts of the cable coupling is not specified here.

Aus der DE-PS 811 360 ist eine feststehende Kabelkupplung bekannt, deren Schutzklappe einen elastischen Bügel mit derart gebogener Stirnfläche aufweist, daß bei Berührung derselben mit der Stirnfläche der Gegenschutzklappe ein Öffnen beider Schutzklappen herbeigeführt wird. Bekannt sind ferner Schutzklappen, bei denen ein auf der Stirnfläche angeordnetes, schräg nach vom und oben vorstehendes Horn bei Berührung und im Zusammenwirken mit dem Gegenhorn das selbsttätige Aufschwenken beider Schutzklappen bewirkt.From DE-PS 811 360 a fixed cable coupling is known, the protective flap of which has an elastic bracket with such a curved end face that, when the same touches the end face of the counter-protective flap, the two protective flaps are opened. Protective flaps are also known, in which a horn arranged on the end face and projecting obliquely from and upwards, when touched and in cooperation with the counter horn, causes the two protective flaps to swing open automatically.

Die Stirnfläche und Hörner sind besonderen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt und müssen daher stabil gebaut sein. Beim Öffnen und Schließen sind große, insbesondere in Bauweise mit Horn, schwingende Massen mit ungünstigem Schwerpunkt zu bewegen. Der einwandfreie Ablauf ist von vielen Einflußfaktoren im rauhen Eisenbahnbetrieb erschwert, z. B. durch Höhen- und Seitenversatz beim Kuppen und Witterungseinfluß wie Vereisung und Verschmutzung. Nicht unerheblich ist auch die erhöhte Verletzungsgefahr durch ein vorstehendes Horn.The face and horns are exposed to special stresses and must therefore be built to be stable. When opening and closing large, especially in the horn design, vibrating masses with an unfavorable center of gravity must be moved. The correct process is made difficult by many influencing factors in rough railway operations, e.g. B. by height and side offset at the top and weather conditions such as icing and pollution. The increased risk of injury from a protruding horn is also not insignificant.

Weiter ist aus der DE-PS 469 385 eine Schutzkappe für eine feststehende Kabelkupplung bekannt, die mit Kupplungsteilen der mechanischen Mittelpufferkupplung der Bauart Scharfenberg so verbunden ist, daß die beim Kuppeln zurückweichende Kuppelöse einen Hebel betätigt, der vor dem Aufeinandertreffen der Kabelkupplungen das Emporklappen der Schutzkappen herbeiführt. Das Vorklappen der Schutzkappe erfolgt von oben mittels Federn.Furthermore, a protective cap for a fixed cable coupling is known from DE-PS 469 385, which is connected to coupling parts of the mechanical center buffer coupling of the Scharfenberg type in such a way that the one which recedes when coupling Dome eyelet actuates a lever which causes the protective caps to flip up before the cable couplings meet. The protective cap is folded forward using springs.

Aus der DE-PS 927 445 ist eine selbsttätige Kabelkupplung für eine mechanische Mittelpufferkupplung bekannt, bei der das Verschwenken der Kabelkupplung in Kuppelstellung durch die mechanische Mittelpufferkupplung bewirkt und gesteuert wird. Insbesondere erfolgt die Steuerung über eine mit dem Hauptbolzen des Verschlusses verbundene Kurvenscheibe. Auch sind Bauarten mit Kurbelantrieben bekannt.From DE-PS 927 445 an automatic cable coupling for a mechanical central buffer coupling is known, in which the pivoting of the cable coupling in the coupling position is effected and controlled by the mechanical central buffer coupling. In particular, control takes place via a cam disk connected to the main bolt of the closure. Types with crank drives are also known.

Die Zwangskopplung der Kabelkupplung mit Kupplungsteilen der mechanischen Mittelpufferkupplung, insbesondere mit dem mechanischen Verschluß ist für viele Einsatzfälle nachteilig, weil beide Systeme nur abhängig voneinander gesteuert werden. Eine zusätzliche Abschalteinrichtung kann diesen Mangel zwar beheben , nicht jedoch den erhöhten Verschleiß von Steuer- und Verschlußorganen durch hohe Belastungen im gekuppelten Zustand, da bei jedem Entkuppelvorgang Federn zur Speicherung von Vorschubenergie für die Kabelkupplung gespannt werden müssen.The forced coupling of the cable coupling with coupling parts of the mechanical central buffer coupling, in particular with the mechanical lock, is disadvantageous for many applications because the two systems are only controlled as a function of one another. An additional switch-off device can remedy this deficiency, but not the increased wear of control and locking elements due to high loads in the coupled state, since springs have to be tensioned for storing the feed energy for the cable coupling with each uncoupling process.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Kabelkupplung mit der eingangs genannten Art derart zu verbessern, daß diese unter Verzicht auf zusätzliche fahrzeugseitige, elektrische, pneumatische oder hydraulische Antriebe energiegünstig und in einfacher Weise betriebssicher betätigbar ist und ein Schutz der Kontaktanordnung der Kabelkupplung in der hinteren, ungekuppelten Stellung gegeben ist.The invention has for its object to improve a generic cable coupling with the type mentioned in such a way that it can be operated economically and in a simple manner, reliably and without protection for additional vehicle-side, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic drives, and protection of the contact arrangement of the cable coupling in the rear, uncoupled position is given.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Kabelkupplung gelöst.This object is achieved by the cable coupling characterized in claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 8 angegeben.Appropriate further developments are specified in subclaims 2 to 8.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Kabelkupplung 1 ist an der mechanischen Mittelpufferkupplung 2 am Kupplungskopf 3 auf einem Führungschlitten 4 befestigt. Der Führungschlitten 4 ist am Kupplungskopf 3 über eine Längsführung 5 mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Führungsstangen 6, längsverschiebbar in Zug- und Stoßrichtung abgestützt und geführt und über einen Hebeltrieb 7 mit einem Stößel 8 verbunden. Der Stößel 8 ist längsverschiebbar in der Stirnplatte 9 des Kupplungskopfes 3 der Mittelpufferkupplung 2 geführt. Der Stößel 8 überragt die Stirnplatte 9 im ungekuppelten Zustand der Mittelpufferkupplung 2 bei zurückgeschobener Kabelkupplung 1 die Stirnplatte 9 der Mittelpufferkupplung 2 und einen vorgegebenen Hub.A cable coupling 1 according to the invention is fastened to the mechanical central buffer coupling 2 on the coupling head 3 on a guide carriage 4. The guide carriage 4 is supported and guided on the coupling head 3 via a longitudinal guide 5 with two guide rods 6 arranged next to one another, longitudinally displaceable in the pulling and pushing directions, and connected to a plunger 8 via a lever drive 7. The plunger 8 is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the end plate 9 of the coupling head 3 of the central buffer coupling 2. The plunger 8 projects beyond the end plate 9 in the uncoupled state of the central buffer coupling 2 when the cable coupling 1 is pushed back, the end plate 9 of the central buffer coupling 2 and a predetermined stroke.

Im gekuppelten Zustand ist der Stößel 8 durch die Stirnplatte 18 der mechanischen Gegenkupplung 17 um den vorgegebenen Hub nach hinten längsverschoben. Durch den Hub des Stößels 8 wird der angelenkte Hebeltrieb 7 und der daran angelenkte Führungsschlitten 4 mit der daran befestigten Kabelkupplung 1 nach vorn in die Kuppelstellung verschoben. Gleichzeitig wird eine an der Kabelkupplung 1 angelenkte Schutzklappe 10 zum Schutz der elektrischen Kontakte aus der zugeschwenkten in die aufgeschwenkte Lage verbracht. Dazu ist am Kupplungskopf 3 ein Flansch 14 starr befestigt, der gelenkig mit der Schutzklappe 10 verbunden ist, wobei beim Vorschieben der Kabelkupplung 1 ein Aufschwenken und beim Zurückschieben der Kabelkupplung 1 in die hintere Endlage ein Zurückschwenken der Schutzklappe 10 erfolgt.In the coupled state, the plunger 8 is longitudinally displaced rearward by the predetermined stroke by the end plate 18 of the mechanical counter-coupling 17. Due to the stroke of the plunger 8, the articulated lever drive 7 and the articulated guide carriage 4 with the cable coupling 1 attached to it are moved forward into the coupling position. At the same time, a protective flap 10 hinged to the cable coupling 1 is moved from the closed position to the opened position in order to protect the electrical contacts. For this purpose, a flange 14 is rigidly attached to the coupling head 3, which is connected in an articulated manner to the protective flap 10, the pivoting of the protective flap 10 when the cable coupling 1 is pushed forward and a pivoting back when the cable coupling 1 is pushed back into the rear end position.

Innerhalb der Gliederkette der Betätigungseinrichtung für die Kabelkupplung ist eine Abschalteinrichtung 11 angeordnet, die bei Betätigung dem Stößel 8 einen Leerhub ermöglicht, derart, daß der Führungsschlitten 4 mit Kabelkupplung 1 in der hinteren Endlage verbleibt.A cut-off device 11 is arranged within the link chain of the actuating device for the cable coupling, which enables the plunger 8 to have an idle stroke when actuated, such that the guide carriage 4 with cable coupling 1 remains in the rear end position.

Die hintere Endlage des Führungschlittens 4 wird durch eine Feder 12 gehalten, die durch den Hub des Führungsschlitten 4 beim Vorschieben in die vordere Endlage gespannt wird.The rear end position of the guide carriage 4 is held by a spring 12 which is tensioned by the stroke of the guide carriage 4 during the advancement into the front end position.

Die Kabelkupplung 1 ist an dem Führungsschlitten 4 in Längs- bzw. Stoßrichtung mittels Druckfeder 13 federbelastet verschiebbar gehalten. In der vorderen Endlage überragt die Kabelkupplung 1 die Stirnplatte 9 geringfügig, läßt sich aber durch die Kabelkupplung 16 der Gegenkupplung 17 federbelastet mindestens bis in die Kuppelebene zurückschieben. Dadurch ist im Betriebseinsatz auch bei Montageungenauigkeiten oder Verschleiß immer ein sicherer Anpreßdruck der Kontakte gewährleistet.The cable coupling 1 is held on the guide carriage 4 in the longitudinal or pushing direction by means of a compression spring 13 so as to be spring-loaded. In the front end position, the cable coupling 1 projects slightly beyond the end plate 9, but can be pushed back by the cable coupling 16 of the counter-coupling 17 at least into the coupling plane. As a result, a safe contact pressure of the contacts is always guaranteed in operational use even in the event of assembly inaccuracies or wear.

Der Stößel 8 ist im oberen Randbereich der Stirnplatte 9 angeordnet und in Längs- bzw. Stoßrichtung federbelastet gegen eine Feder 15 verschiebbar ausgebildet.The plunger 8 is arranged in the upper edge region of the end plate 9 and is designed to be spring-loaded in the longitudinal or impact direction against a spring 15.

Die Betätigung des Stößels 8 erfolgt zweckmäßig erst nach der Zentrierung der mechanischen Mittelpufferkupplung 2, da damit ein einwandfreies Zentrieren und Kuppeln der Kabelkupplung erleichtert bzw. erst möglich ist.The actuation of the plunger 8 expediently takes place only after the centering of the mechanical central buffer coupling 2, since this makes it easier or only possible to correctly center and couple the cable coupling.
