Definitions
- the invention relates to a profiled rail, in particular a railroad track, with a lower radiated total airborne sound level, formed from a rail foot with a support surface, a rail web and a rail head with a support surface and a rail height, preferably rail head width and in particular a moment of inertia and resistance about the center of gravity, essentially in accordance with the standardized normal profile rails each having the same load capacity.
- Travel rails are profiled rolled steel bars and are used to create taxiways, especially tracks, on which an economical transport of loads takes place.
- Metallic wheels preferably made of steel or with a steel support, roll on the bearing surface of a rail part called a head.
- the rail foot opposite the rail head, which is connected to the rail head by a web, is connected with its support surface to a base.
- a coating made of a vibration-damping material is only partially effective, causes high expenditure, prevents a visual inspection of the rail in the track and can be done by using in particular reinforced polymers pose an environmental impact. Furthermore, the proposal has often been made, for example in DE-OS 4411833, to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the base by elastic parts of the fastening elements and thereby to reduce the emission of airborne sound.
- the invention is based on the object, the vibration of the rail when driving, especially at high transport speeds, to reduce or design such that the radiated total airborne noise level is reduced and the noise pollution of the environment is reduced.
- the aim of the invention is therefore in particular to reduce the airborne sound-generating vibrations of the body or of the rail itself and thereby to reduce sound radiation and environmental pollution in a simple manner
- This task or this goal is achieved in a profiled travel rail mentioned in the introduction in that at least one web side surface at least in lower area between the foot-side transition edge, that is the edge that is formed during the transition from the foot to the web side surface, and the cross-section of the center of gravity of the cross section of the rail is essentially concavely rounded and free of kink points or / or the rail foot height is increased in comparison with the standard profile rail .
- the bridge between the rail head and foot does not cause a large part of the radiated noise, as has been assumed by experts. Rather, the rail head and in particular the rail foot have high structure-borne noise levels and thus high contributions to the level of the overall sound pressure and in turn mainly cause noise pollution in the environment.
- the causes of an increased wave-like vibration in the longitudinal direction or the rapid course depending on the frequency, for example a leg of a rail foot, have not yet been completely clarified scientifically, but it is assumed that kink points or kink areas of the surface or discontinuous changes in thickness of the cross section due to vibration Can represent knots or clamping points, which causes or enables increased vibrations of profile parts, for example an ankle leg of the rail.
- An increase in the rail foot height according to the invention and / or in particular a transition from the foot to the web side surface free of a kink point or kink region cause a change in the vibrations in the rail foot region, whereby radiation of airborne sound through the rail foot surfaces to the environment and possibly a base reflecting it is reduced.
- a further reduction in sound radiation is achieved if the cross-sectional profile is formed symmetrically to the height axis, whereby the tendency to form local vibration nodes in the profiled rod is further reduced.
- the rail web side surface is formed in cross section of the rail from a circular and / or an elliptical lower and upper part and preferably one tangent to it which has a straight central or intermediate area through which the center of gravity runs. It can be advantageous if the smallest thickness of the rail web is equal to or greater than that of standard rails.
- a particularly favorable embodiment with a high load-bearing capacity of the rail with low airborne sound radiation is achieved if the distance of the center of gravity axis from the support surface at the rail base has a value between (0.5 and 0.38), preferably between (0.47 and 0.41) times the height (A) of the rail.
- the outer parts of the wheelchairflanken be largely eliminated or minimized when the foot of the rail as compared with the respective rail standard profile of a smaller width and / or a greater height has.
- the head in particular the area of the rail according to the invention containing the carrying surface, as is known per se, has an increased hardness of the material, a sound radiation which is thereby increased in the case of standard profiles can be substantially reduced, if additionally the foot, in particular the central area of the rail containing the support surface, which is essentially symmetrical to the axis, has an increased hardness of the material, a particularly stable, best Embodiment having utility properties is achieved.
- Fig. 3 shows the cross section of a rail rounded at the foot side web side surfaces without kink
- Fig. 4 is a fully rounded rail cross-sectional shape on the web surface
- Fig. 5 shows the structure-borne noise level and the weights of rails
- a standard rail UIC 60 is shown in cross section in FIG. 1.
- the rail has a total height A of 172 mm, a head height from the support surface 41 to the transition edge 34 into a web side surface 31 of 37.5 mm and a foot width B of 150 mm.
- the distance S between the center of gravity axis X and the support surface 21 on the rail base 2 is 80.95 mm.
- Such a standard rail UIC 60 with a weight or a mass of 60.34 kg / m was excited by vibrations by excitation laterally or eccentrically on the support surface 41 transversely to the longitudinal extent in a vertical and horizontal direction and a maximum structure-borne noise level as well as a radiated sound power determined.
- bar B the values determined for a standard rail represent basic values of the UIC 60, against which result values of rails according to the invention can be compared.
- FIG. 2 shows a rail according to the invention with a foot 2 reinforced with a standard rail UIC 60 or with a larger foot thickness H.
- FIG. 3 shows a rail profile according to the invention, in which the foot 2 has a height H corresponding to the standard profile UIC 60, the lower part 31 'of the side surface 31 of the rail web 3 between the foot-side transition edge 32 and the cut with the center of gravity axis X is, however, symmetrically free of kinks circularly rounded. Due to this design, compared to the standard rail with the same pulsing excitation, as shown in Fig. 5, bar 2 schematically, a significantly reduced structure-borne noise level and a sound power total level reduced by approx. 1.05 dB of the radiated sound power were determined, the mass of the rail ( see lower part of Fig. 5, bar 2) was only slightly increased.
- FIG. 4 shows a further rail profile according to the invention, which has fully rounded lug chambers or web side surfaces 31 free of kink areas from the foot-side transition edge 32 to the head-side transition edge 34 with a plane-parallel central part of the web 3 which transitions tangentially into this in the region of the center of gravity axis.
- a continuous thickening of the rail web 3 directed towards the head 4 and the foot 5 causes an increase in the mass of the rail 1 per meter, as can be seen in FIG.
- the maximum structure-borne noise level is reduced to a small percentage in comparison with the standard profile UIC 60, the total sound power level of the radiated sound power also being reduced by approximately 3.0 dB.
