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 in the direction of impact can be moved longitudinally on a mechanical central buffer coupling via a longitudinal guide is held.

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 leadership The cable coupling is made on a rod that is on the stone slab and backwards from it is attached to the coupling head. The longitudinal displacement of the cable coupling should using compressed air, d. H. by an additional drive. A solution to 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 has an elastic bracket with such a curved end face, that when the same touches the end face of the counter protection flap opening both protective flaps is brought about. Protective flaps are also known which one arranged on the end face, protruding obliquely from and above Horn when touched and in cooperation with the counter horn the automatic Swiveling both protective flaps causes.

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 and stressed must therefore be built stably. When opening and closing are great, in particular in construction with horn, vibrating masses with an unfavorable center of gravity move. Flawless operation is influenced by many factors in rough railway operations difficult, e.g. B. by height and side offset at the top and Influence of weather such as icing and pollution. That is also not insignificant Increased risk of injury from a protruding horn.

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, from DE-PS 469 385 a protective cap for a fixed cable coupling known with the coupling parts of the mechanical central buffer coupling the Scharfenberg design is connected in such a way that the one receding when coupling Dome eyelet operated a lever that before the cable couplings meet brings up the protective caps. The protective cap is folded forward takes place from above by means of 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 Medium buffer coupling 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, the control takes place via a with the main bolt of the closure connected cam. 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 Middle buffer coupling, especially with the mechanical lock is for many Applications are disadvantageous because the two systems are only controlled depending on each other become. An additional shutdown device can remedy this defect, but not due to the increased wear of control and locking devices high loads in the coupled state, since springs occur during each uncoupling process be tensioned to store feed energy for the cable coupling have to.

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 provide a generic cable coupling to improve the type mentioned in such a way that this without additional vehicle-side, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic drives Is energy-efficient and can be operated in a simple and reliable manner and provides protection the contact arrangement of the cable coupling in the rear, uncoupled position given is.

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

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 on the mechanical central buffer coupling 2 attached to the coupling head 3 on a guide carriage 4. The sledge 4 is on the coupling head 3 via a longitudinal guide 5 with two side by side arranged guide rods 6, longitudinally displaceable in the pulling and pushing directions supported and guided and connected to a plunger 8 via a lever drive 7. The plunger 8 is longitudinally displaceable in the end plate 9 of the coupling head 3 Center buffer clutch 2 out. 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 mechanical through the end plate 18 Counter clutch 17 longitudinally displaced backwards by the predetermined stroke. By the stroke of the plunger 8 is the articulated lever drive 7 and the articulated thereon Guide carriage 4 with the attached cable coupling 1 to the front Dome position shifted. At the same time, one is articulated on the cable coupling 1 Protective flap 10 to protect the electrical contacts from the swiveled brought into the swung-up position. For this, there is a 3 on the coupling head Flange 14 rigidly attached, which is pivotally connected to the protective flap 10, wherein when the cable coupling 1 is pushed forward and when pushed back the cable coupling 1 in the rear end position swiveling back Protective flap 10 takes place.

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. Within the link chain of the actuator for the cable coupling is one Shutdown device 11 arranged, the idle stroke when actuating the plunger 8 enables such that the guide carriage 4 with cable coupling 1 in the rear End position remains.

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 by the stroke of the guide carriage 4 when advancing to the front end position is excited.

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 on the guide carriage 4 in the longitudinal or butt direction held by spring 13 slidably. In the front end position The cable coupling 1 slightly protrudes from the end plate 9, but can be by the Cable coupling 16 of the mating coupling 17 is spring-loaded at least into the coupling plane push back. As a result, it is also used in the event of assembly inaccuracies or wear always ensures a safe contact pressure of the contacts.

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 in the longitudinal or. Shock direction spring-loaded against a spring 15 slidably formed.

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 mechanical has been centered Middle buffer coupling 2, because it ensures perfect centering and coupling the cable coupling is easier or only possible.
