Abstract

The method involves using a run-in track (3) connected to switching tracks (5) via at least one set of points (7). Wagon units are successively delivered via the points to the switching tracks and parked near the points by moving the preceding wagon units along. A signal generator (11) at a predefined position along the switching track generates an activation signal for a signalling device (9) near the points if the first parked wagon unit passes the predefined position as the parked units are moved along. If the signalling device is activated, parking on the switching track is terminated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Abstellen von Wageneinheiten auf einem Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage und eine Einrichtung zur Spitzensicherung für ein Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage. Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus der Patentschrift US 4,034,677 bekannt.The invention relates to a method for parking wagon units on a shunting track a track system and a tip protection device for a shunting track a track system. Such a method is known from the Patent US 4,034,677 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren anzugeben, mit dem Wageneinheiten auf einem Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage mit geringem Aufwand abgestellt werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a method with the car units on a siding one Track system can be parked with little effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Abstellen von Wageneinheiten auf einem Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage, die ein Zuführungsgleis, mindestens eine mit dem Zuführungsgleis verbundene Weiche und das von der mindestens einen Weiche abgehende Rangiergleis aufweist, wobei bei dem Verfahren nacheinander Wageneinheiten von dem Zuführungsgleis über die Weiche auf das Rangiergleis gefahren und unter Weiterschieben der zuvor abgestellten Wageneinheiten jeweils in Weichennähe abgestellt werden, mit einem im Bereich einer vorbestimmten Stelle auf dem Rangiergleis angebrachten Signalgeber ein Betätigungssignal für eine im Bereich der Weiche vorgesehene Signaleinrichtung erzeugt wird, wenn beim Weiterschieben der abgestellten Wageneinheiten die zuerst abgestellte Wageneinheit die vorbestimmte Stelle passiert, und bei betätigter Signaleinrichtung das Abstellen der Wageneinheiten auf dem Rangiergleis beendet wird. Bei der Signaleinrichtung kann es sich beispielsweise um eine optische und/oder akustische Anzeige handeln.This problem is solved by a method for parking of wagon units on a shunting track of a track system, the one feed track, at least one with the feed track connected switch and that of the at least one switch has outgoing siding, with the method successively wagon units from the feed track over the Switch moved onto the shunting track and pushed on of the previously parked wagon units, each near the points be turned off with one in the range of a predetermined one Set the auto switch on the siding Actuation signal for one provided in the area of the switch Signal device is generated when pushing the parked car units the first parked car unit passes the predetermined point, and with the signaling device actuated parking the car units on the Siding is terminated. With the signaling device it can for example, an optical and / or acoustic Act ad.

Ein Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß sich die Fahrwege beim Abstellen von Wageneinheiten reduzieren lassen, weil jede Wageneinheit immer direkt hinter der Weiche, also am Anfang des Rangiergleises, auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellt werden kann; dabei führt zwar jedes Abstellen einer weiteren Wageneinheit dazu, daß die bereits auf dem Rangiergleis stehenden Wageneinheiten um die Länge der jeweils neu hinzukommenden Wageneinheit in Fahrtrichtung verschoben werden, jedoch wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren durch die Signaleinrichtung rechtzeitig angezeigt, daß die erste auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellte Wageneinheit bereits an die vorbestimmte Stelle geschoben wurde und daß somit keine weiteren Wageneinheiten mehr auf dem Rangiergleis Platz haben. Handelt es sich bei der vorbestimmten Stelle um eine Gefahrenstelle, dann können also trotz dieser Gefahrenstelle auf dem Rangiergleis die Wageneinheiten sehr sicher abgestellt werden, weil die Gefahrenstelle durch den Signalgeber im Bereich der Gefahrenstelle und der mit dem Signalgeber verbundenen Signaleinrichtung sehr gut abgesichert ist; konkret wird mit der Signaleinrichtung angezeigt, daß keine weiteren Wageneinheiten mehr auf das Rangiergleis geschoben werden dürfen, da sonst eine bereits auf dem Rangiergleis befindliche Wageneinheit - und zwar die in Fahrtrichtung gesehen erste - in die Gefahrenstelle gelangen würde. Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist darin zu sehen, daß aufgrund des Signalgebers und der Signaleinrichtung über das Lokrangierpersonal hinaus kein Bahnpersonal zur Absicherung der Gefahrenstelle, also zur Spitzensicherung, mehr erforderlich ist.An advantage of the method according to the invention is that that the routes are reduced when parking wagon units leave because each car unit is always directly behind the Turnout, i.e. at the beginning of the siding, on the siding can be turned off; each time it turns off Another car unit that the already on the Shunting track standing car units by the length of each newly added car unit moved in the direction of travel be, however, in the invention Procedures indicated by the signaling device in good time, that the first car unit parked on the siding has already been pushed to the predetermined position and that thus no more wagon units on the shunting track Have space. Is it the predetermined location a danger point, then in spite of this danger point The car units on the shunting track are very safe be turned off because the danger point by the signal generator in the area of the danger point and that with the signal transmitter connected signal device is very well secured; specifically, the signaling device indicates that none more car units pushed more onto the siding may otherwise be one that is already on the siding Car unit - namely that seen in the direction of travel first - would get into the danger spot. Another The advantage of the method according to the invention can be seen in that due to the signal generator and the signaling device In addition to the locomotive shunting staff, no train staff are available Protection of the danger point, that is, for tip protection, more is needed.

Um ein unkontrolliertes Vorbeirollen der ersten auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellten Wageneinheit an der vorbestimmten Stelle zu verbinden, wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn vor dem Abstellen der ersten Wageneinheit bzw. direkt danach eine in Fahrtrichtung kurz vor dem Signalgeber angeordnete Gleisbremse betätigt wird, die ein unkontrolliertes Vorbeirollen - beispielsweise aufgrund eines Gefälles im Rangiergleis - der zuerst abgestellten Wageneinheit an der vorbestimmten Stelle verhindert. Beispielsweise kann hierfür in Fahrtrichtung vor der Gleisbremse ein Gleiskontakt angebracht sein, der das Vorbeirollen der ersten Wageneinheit feststellt und daraufhin ein Steuersignal zur Betätigung der Gleisbremse an diese abgibt.An uncontrolled rolling of the first on the siding parked car unit at the predetermined To join the body, it is considered beneficial if before parking the first car unit or immediately after one in the direction of travel just before the signal transmitter Track brake is actuated, causing an uncontrolled rollover - For example, due to a gradient in the siding - The first parked car unit at the predetermined Body prevented. For example, in A track contact is attached in the direction of travel in front of the track brake be who detects the rolling of the first car unit and then a control signal to operate the track brake surrenders to them.

Wie bereits erläutert, werden bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren die Wageneinheiten unter Weiterschieben der zuvor abgestellten Wageneinheiten stets jeweils in Weichennähe abgestellt; um zu verhindern, daß die zuerst abgestellte Wageneinheit bei diesem Weiterschieben sozusagen unbemerkt durch die aktivierte Gleisbremse hindurchgeschoben wird, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß mit einem in Fahrtrichtung hinter der Gleisbremse in einem maximal dem kleinsten inneren Achsenabstand der abzustellenden Wageneinheiten entsprechenden Abstand angeordneten und vor dem einen Signalgeber angebrachten weiteren Signalgeber ein Warnsignal für die Signaleinrichtung erzeugt wird, wenn die erste Achse der zuerst abgestellten Wageneinheit diesen weiteren Signalgeber passiert. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird dem Bahnpersonal durch die Signaleinrichtung also zusätzlich angezeigt, daß die erste Achse der ersten Wageneinheit die Gleisbremse aufgrund des Weiterschiebens bereits verlassen hat, die zweite Achse jedoch noch nicht; dies bedeutet, daß das Bahnpersonal - falls noch weitere Wageneinheiten auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellt werden sollen - geeignete Maßnahmen treffen muß, um zu vermeiden, daß die erste Wageneinheit beim weiteren Abstellen weiterer Wageneinheiten vollkommen aus der Gleisbremse herausgeschoben wird und dann womöglich unkontrolliert in Richtung auf die vorbestimmte Stelle weiterrollt. Eine geeignete Maßnahme, um dies zu verhindern, kann beispielsweise darin bestehen, die erste Ablaufeinheit mit den anderen bereits abgestellten Wageneinheiten fest zu verkuppeln, wodurch sichergestellt wird, daß sich stets solange noch eine Achse dieser so gebildeten Wagenkolonne in der Gleisbremse befindet, bis die erste Achse der zuerst abgestellten Wageneinheit aufgrund des Weiterschiebens auch die vorbestimmte Stelle und damit den einen Signalgeber passiert hat, was wiederum durch die Signaleinrichtung angezeigt wird. Wenn die beiden Signalgeber einen Abstand aufweisen, der mindestens so groß ist wie die längste möglicherweise abzustellende Wageneinheit lang ist, so ist sichergestellt, daß stets noch eine Wageneinheit auf das Rangiergleis paßt, so lange die Signaleinrichtung weder mit einem Betätigungs- noch einem Warnsignal beaufschlagt ist, also sozusagen auf "grün" steht, d. h. eine optische oder akustische Meldung zur Freigabe zum Abstellen von Wageneinheiten auf dem Rangiergleis abgibt.As already explained, in the method according to the invention the car units while pushing the previously parked Car units always parked close to the points; to prevent the car unit from being parked first with this pushing on, so to speak, unnoticed by the activated track brake is pushed through, according to the invention suggested that with one in the direction of travel behind the track brake in a maximum of the smallest inner Corresponding axis distance of the car units to be parked Distance arranged and in front of a signal generator attached further signal generator a warning signal for the Signal device is generated when the first axis of the first switched off car unit this further signal transmitter happens. In this embodiment of the invention The signaling device is used for the railway staff So additionally indicated that the first axis of the first Car unit the track brake due to the pushing forward has already left, but not yet the second axis; this means that the train staff - if any more Car units are to be parked on the siding - must take appropriate measures to prevent the first car unit when further car units are parked completely pushed out of the track brake and then possibly uncontrolled towards the predetermined one Spot rolls on. An appropriate measure to do this to prevent, for example, may be the first Drain unit with the other wagon units already parked to couple tightly, which ensures that there is always an axis of this so formed Carriage column located in the track brake until the first axis the car unit parked first due to further pushing also the predetermined position and thus the one Signal generator has passed, which in turn by the signaling device is shown. If the two signal transmitters one Have a distance that is at least as long as the longest possibly long wagon unit to be parked is so ensured that there was always a car unit on the Shunting track fits as long as the signaling device neither with an actuation or a warning signal is applied, that is is "green" so to speak, d. H. an optical or Acoustic message to release to park car units on the siding.

Besonders kostengünstige Signalgeber sind beispielsweise Schienenkontakte, so daß es als vorteilhaft angesehen wird, wenn als Signalgeber Schienenkontakte oder Radsensoren verwendet werden.Particularly inexpensive signal transmitters are, for example Rail contacts so that it is considered beneficial if rail contacts or wheel sensors are used as signal transmitters become.

Als vorteilhaft wird es ebenfalls angesehen, wenn als der eine Signalgeber eine Achszähleinrichtung verwendet wird, die das Betätigungssignal abgibt, wenn sich Achsen in ihrem Bereich befinden, da mit einer Achszähleinrichtung als Signalgeber im Unterschied zu einem Schienenkontakt ein Gefahrenbereich nicht nur als besetzt gemeldet werden kann, sondern darüber hinaus auch wieder freigegeben werden kann; denn mit einer Achszähleinrichtung ist jederzeit feststellbar, ob sich eine Wagenachse und damit eine Wageneinheit in deren zugeordneten Meßbereich befindet.It is also considered advantageous if the a signal generator is used an axle counter gives the actuation signal when axes are in their Area because there is an axle counter as a signal generator in contrast to a rail contact, a danger zone can not only be reported as busy, but can also be released again; because with an axle counter it can be determined at any time whether a carriage axis and thus a carriage unit in its assigned measuring range.

Genauso einfach und damit vorteilhaft läßt sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durchführen, wenn als der eine Signalgeber und als der weitere Signalgeber eine einzige Achszähleinrichtung verwendet wird, die das Warnsignal abgibt, wenn ihr Zählerstand von Null auf Eins springt, und die das Betätigungssignal abgibt, wenn sich ihr Zählerstand um Eins vermindert. The inventive method can be used just as easily and therefore advantageously Carry out procedures if as the one signal generator and as the further signal generator a single axle counting device is used, which emits the warning signal, when your counter jumps from zero to one, and that Actuating signal emits when their counter reading is one reduced.

Um dem Bahnpersonal bzw. einem Lokrangierführer beim Abstellen von Wageneinheiten deutlich zu signalisieren, daß die erste Achse der zuerst abgestellten Wageneinheit durch die Gleisbremse hindurch geschoben wurde oder aber daß diese Wageneinheit die vorbestimmte Stelle passiert hat, wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn als Signaleinrichtung eine Einrichtung verwendet wird, die bei Vorliegen des einen Betätigungssignals ein Lichtsignal und bei Vorliegen des Warnsignals ein weiteres Lichtsignal abgibt. Bei dieser Signaleinrichtung kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Art Ampel handeln, die bei fehlendem Betätigungs- und Warnsignal grünes Licht, bei Vorliegen des Warnsignals gelbes Licht und bei Vorliegen des Betätigungssignals rotes Licht abgibt; bei gelbem Licht wird dem Bahnpersonal dann signalisiert, daß Maßnahmen wie das bereits erläuterte Zusammenkuppeln der Wageneinheiten zu treffen sind, falls noch weitere Wageneinheiten auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellt werden sollen. To the train staff or a train shunter when parking of car units to clearly signal that the first axis of the car unit parked first by the Track brake was pushed through or that this car unit has passed the predetermined location, it is called considered advantageous if a device as a signaling device is used in the presence of an actuation signal a light signal and if the warning signal is present emits another light signal. With this signaling device it can be a kind of traffic light, the green if there is no actuation and warning signal Light, yellow light when the warning signal is present and at The presence of the actuation signal emits red light; with yellow Light is then signaled to the train staff that measures are being taken like the coupling of the carriage units already explained are to be met if there are other wagon units to be parked on the siding.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung zur Spitzensicherung für ein Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage zum Abstellen von Wageneinheiten besteht aus einem im Bereich einer vorbestimmten Stelle des Rangiergleises angebrachten Signalgeber, der beim Vorbeifahren einer Wageneinheit ein Betätigungssignal an eine mit ihm verbundene Signaleinrichtung abgibt, einem in Fahrtrichtung vor dem Signalgeber angeordneten weiteren mit der Signaleinrichtung verbundenen Signalgeber, der ein Warnsignal für die Signaleinrichtung erzeugt, wenn ihn eine Wageneinheit passiert, und einer vor diesem weiteren Signalgeber angeordneten Gleisbremse zum Sichern einer ersten auf dem Gleis abgestellten Wageneinheit gegen unkontrolliertes Weiterrollen an der vorbestimmten Stelle vorbei, wobei die beiden Signalgeber und die Gleisbremse derart angeordnet sind, daß der Abstand zwischen den beiden Signalgebern mindestens so groß ist wie die längste auf dem Rangiergleis abzustellende Wageneinheit und der Abstand zwischen dem weiteren Signalgeber und der Gleisbremse maximal so groß ist wie der kleinste innere Achsenabstand der auf dem Rangiergleis abzustellenden Wageneinheit.An inventive device for tip protection for a siding A track system for parking wagon units consists of one in the area of a predetermined one Position of the siding attached signal generator, which at Passing a car unit an actuation signal to a outputs associated signaling device, one in the direction of travel arranged in front of the signal generator with the Signal device connected signal generator, which is a warning signal generated for the signaling device when a carriage unit happens, and one arranged in front of this further signal transmitter Track brake to secure a first one parked on the track Carriage unit against uncontrolled further rolling past the predetermined point, the two signal generators and the track brake are arranged such that the distance between the two signal generators is at least as large like the longest car unit to be parked on the siding and the distance between the further signal generator and the track brake is at most as large as the smallest inner one Axis distance of the carriage unit to be parked on the shunting track.

Hinsichtlich der wesentlichen Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung gelten die oben gemachten Ausführungen entsprechend.With regard to the essential advantages of the invention The above statements apply accordingly.

Zur Erläuterung der Erfindung sind in einer Figur 1 und in einer Figur 2 Ausführungsbeispiele einer erfindungsgemäßen Gleisanlage dargestellt, mit der sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Abstellen von Wageneinheiten durchführen läßt. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel für die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung zur Spitzensicherung ist im Zusammenhang mit Figur 2 erläutert.To explain the invention are in a figure 1 and in a Figure 2 embodiments of an inventive Track system shown, with which the invention Carrying out procedures for parking car units. An embodiment for the device according to the invention for tip protection is explained in connection with Figure 2.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Gleisanlage 1 mit einem Zuführungsgleis 3 und einem Rangiergleis 5, das über eine Weiche 7 mit dem Zuführungsgleis 3 verbunden ist. Im Bereich der Weiche 7 ist eine Signaleinrichtung 9 beispielsweise in Form einer Lichtsignaleinrichtung vorgesehen, die mit einem Signalgeber 11 auf dem Rangiergleis 5 über eine Signalleitung verbunden ist. Der Signalgeber 11 weist einen vorgegebenen Abstand zu einer Gefahrenstelle 13 als vorbestimmte Stelle auf dem Rangiergleis 5 auf. Bei der Gefahrenstelle 13 kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Bahnübergang oder um eine weitere Weiche - wie in der Figur 1 gezeigt - handeln, oder auch um einen Prellbock; in diesem Fall handelt es sich bei dem Rangiergleis 5 um ein Abstell- oder Ausziehgleis.Figure 1 shows a track system 1 with a feed track 3 and a shunting track 5, which has a switch 7 with the feed track 3 is connected. In the area of the switch 7 is a signal device 9, for example in the form of a Light signal device provided with a signal generator 11 on the siding 5 connected via a signal line is. The signal generator 11 assigns a predetermined distance a danger point 13 as a predetermined point on the Shunting track 5 on. At danger point 13 it can be for example, a level crossing or another Switch - as shown in Figure 1 - act, or to a bumper block; in this case it is Shunting track 5 around a siding or pull-out track.

In der Figur 1 sind weitere Rangiergleise 5' mit weiteren Signalgebern 11' und weiteren Signaleinrichtungen 9' dargestellt; diese gehören ebenfalls zu der Gleisanlage 1.In FIG. 1 there are further shunting tracks 5 'with further signal transmitters 11 'and further signal devices 9'; these also belong to track system 1.

Auf dem Rangiergleis 5 lassen sich erfindungsgemäß Wageneinheiten in der Weise abstellen, daß die jeweils abzustellende Wageneinheit immer direkt hinter der Weiche 7 auf dem Rangiergleis 5 abgestellt wird. Die bereits zuvor auf dem Rangiergleis 5 abgestellten Wageneinheiten werden dabei von der jeweils neu hinzukommenden Wageneinheit jeweils um die Länge dieser neuen Wageneinheit in Richtung der Gefahrenstelle 13 nach vorn verschoben. Fährt bei diesem Verschieben eine Wageneinheit - dies ist dann natürlich die erste der Wageneinheiten, die auf dem Rangiergleis 5 abgestellt wurde - an dem Signalgeber 11 vorbei, so erzeugt dieser Signalgeber 11 ein Betätigungssignal St und überträgt es zur Signaleinrichtung 9. Dadurch wird die Signaleinrichtung 9 betätigt, woraufhin sie ein entsprechendes Lichtsignal abgibt. Dieses Lichtsignal signalisiert also, daß das Rangiergleis 5 voll ist und keine weiteren Ablaufeinheiten mehr auf das Rangiergleis 5 geschoben werden dürfen, weil sonst die erste der auf dem Rangiergleis 5 abgestellten Wageneinheiten in die Gefahrenstelle 13 geschoben werden würde. According to the invention, wagon units can be placed on the shunting track 5 in the Park in such a way that the car unit to be parked in each case always parked directly behind the switch 7 on the shunting track 5 becomes. The ones previously parked on shunting track 5 Wagon units are added by the new one Car unit each by the length of this new one Carriage unit moved forward in the direction of danger point 13. Moves a carriage unit when moving - then of course this is the first of the car units that are on the shunting track 5 was turned off - on the signal generator 11 over, this signal generator 11 generates an actuation signal St and transmits it to the signaling device 9. Thereby the signaling device 9 is actuated, whereupon it activates a corresponding one Emits light signal. This light signal signals So that the siding 5 is full and no more Process units pushed more onto the shunting track 5 may be, because otherwise the first one on the siding 5 car units parked in danger zone 13 would be pushed.

Die Gleisanlage 1 mit dem Signalgeber 11 und der Signaleinrichtung 9 ermöglicht also ein sehr sicheres Abstellen von Ablaufeinheiten, obwohl die Gefahrenstelle 13 nicht durch Personal gesichert ist.The track system 1 with the signal generator 11 and the signal device 9 thus enables a very safe parking of Drain units, although the danger point 13 does not go through Personnel is secured.

Falls es sich bei dem Signalgeber 11 um einen mit Gleiskontakten ausgerüsteten Achszählkreis handelt, so kann dieser beispielsweise derart ausgebildet sein, daß der Detektionsabschnitt des Achszählkreises und damit der Abstand der Gleiskontakte des Achszählkreises größer ist als der größte bei den Wageneinheiten auftretende Achsabstand, damit die Wageneinheiten im Bereich der Gefahrenstelle 13 besonders sicher erfaßt werden können.If the signal generator 11 is one with track contacts equipped axle counting circle, so this can For example, be designed such that the detection section of the axle counting circle and thus the distance between the track contacts of the axle counting circle is larger than the largest at the wheelbase occurring center distance, so the carriage units particularly safe in the area of danger point 13 can be detected.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine Gleisanlage 50 mit einem Zuführungsgleis 55 und einem Rangiergleis 60, das über eine Weiche 65 mit dem Zuführungsgleis 55 verbunden ist. Im Bereich der Weiche 65 ist eine Signaleinrichtung 70 beispielsweise in Form einer Lichtsignaleinrichtung vorgesehen, die mit einem Signalgeber 75 auf dem Rangiergleis 60 über eine Signalleitung 80 verbunden ist. Der Signalgeber 75 ist im Bereich einer Gefahrenstelle 85 als vorbestimmte Stelle auf dem Rangiergleis 60 angebracht. Bei der Gefahrenstelle 85 kann es sich beispielsweise um eine weitere Weiche oder auch um einen Prellbock handeln. In einem Abstand A vor dem Signalgeber 75 ist ein weiterer Signalgeber 90 angeordnet, dem wiederum in einem Abstand B eine Gleisbremse 95 vorgeordnet ist; die Bemessung der Abstände A und B wird im Zusammenhang mit dem Betrieb der Gleisanlage erläutert. Der weitere Signalgeber 90 ist mit der Signaleinrichtung 70 über eine weitere Signalleitung 100 verbunden.FIG. 2 shows a track system 50 with a feed track 55 and a shunting track 60, which has a switch 65 is connected to the feed track 55. In the area of the switch 65 is a signal device 70, for example in the form a light signal device provided with a signal generator 75 on the switching track 60 via a signal line 80 is connected. The signal generator 75 is in the area of a danger point 85 as a predetermined position on the siding 60 attached. The danger point 85 can be, for example another turnout or a bumper act. At a distance A in front of the signal generator 75 a further signal generator 90 is arranged, which in turn in a Distance B is upstream of a track brake 95; the dimensioning the distances A and B is in connection with the operation of the Track system explained. The other signal generator 90 is with the Signal device 70 connected via a further signal line 100.

Auf dem Rangiergleis 60 lassen sich Wageneinheiten in der gleichen Weise abstellen, wie es bereits im Zusammenhang mit der Figur 1 erläutert wurde, d. h. daß die jeweils abzustellende Wageneinheit immer direkt hinter der Weiche 65 auf dem Rangiergleis 60 abgestellt wird. Die bereits zuvor auf dem Rangiergleis 60 abgestellten Wageneinheiten werden dabei von der jeweils neu hinzukommenden Wageneinheit jeweils um die Länge dieser neuen Wageneinheit in Richtung auf die Gefahrenstelle 85 nach vorn verschoben.On the switching track 60, car units can be placed in the turn off the same way as it already related to 1 was explained, d. H. that the one to be turned off Car unit always directly behind the switch 65 on the Shunting track 60 is turned off. The previously on the Shunting track 60 parked car units are used by the newly added car unit by the Length of this new car unit towards the danger point 85 moved forward.

Im Unterschied zu der Gleisanlage gemäß Figur 1 ist bei der Gleisanlage gemäß Figur 2 vorzugsweise die Gleisbremse 95 vorgesehen, die vor dem Abstellen oder kurz nach dem Abstellen der ersten Wageneinheit aktiviert wird; in jedem Fall muß die Gleisbremse 95 aktiviert sein, bevor sie von der ersten Wageneinheit - beispielsweise durch ein unkontrolliertes Weiterrollen dieser ersten Wageneinheit aufgrund eines Gefälles in dem Rangiergleis 60 - erreicht werden kann. Das Aktivieren der Gleisbremse 95 kann beispielsweise von einem vor der Gleisbrems 95 angebrachten Schienenkontakt durchgeführt werden, der das Passieren der ersten Wageneinheit detektiert und daraufhin an die Gleisbremse 95 ein Signal zur Betätigung der Gleisbremse 95 abgibt.In contrast to the track system according to Figure 1 is in the Track system according to Figure 2, preferably the track brake 95 provided before parking or shortly after parking the first car unit is activated; in any case, the track brake 95 must be activated before the first car unit - for example, by an uncontrolled rolling on first car unit due to a gradient in the siding 60 - can be achieved. Activating the track brake 95 can, for example, from one in front of the track brake 95 attached rail contact that the Passing the first car unit detected and then on the track brake 95 a signal to actuate the track brake 95 issues.

Wie bereits erläutert, werden beim Abstellen der Wageneinheiten die zuvor abgestellten Wageneinheiten in Richtung auf die Gefahrenstelle 85 und in Richtung auf die Gleisbremse 95 verschoben. Wird bei diesem Verschieben die erste Wageneinheit aus dem Bereich der Gleisbremse 95 heraus und anschließend an dem weiteren Signalgeber 90 vorbeigeschoben, so erzeugt dieser ein Warnsignal W und überträgt es zur Signaleinrichtung 70. Daraufhin gibt die Signaleinrichtung 9 ein dem Warnsignal entsprechendes Lichtsignal ab, beispielsweise ein gelbes Licht. Dieses gelbe Lichtsignal signalisiert also, daß die erste Achse der ersten Wageneinheit die Gleisbremse 95 verlassen hat. Dies ist prinzipiell noch nicht gefährlich, da ja noch die zweite - ggf. noch weitere Achsen - der ersten Wageneinheit in der Gleisbremse 95 stehen muß, sofern der weitere Abstand B zwischen dem weiteren Signalgeber 90 und der Gleisbremse 95 kleiner ist als der Achsenabstand der ersten Wageneinheit; aus diesem Grund ist der weitere Abstand B grundsätzlich derart zu dimensionieren, daß er kleiner als der kleinste Abstand der möglicherweise auf dem Rangiergleis 60 abzustellenden Wageneinheiten ist.As already explained, when parking the car units the previously parked car units in the direction of the Danger point 85 and shifted towards the track brake 95. When moving this becomes the first carriage unit out of the area of the track brake 95 and then on pushed past the further signal generator 90, this generates a warning signal W and transmits it to the signal device 70. Thereupon, the signaling device 9 gives the warning signal corresponding light signal, for example a yellow one Light. This yellow light signal therefore signals that the the first axle of the first carriage unit leave the track brake 95 Has. In principle, this is not yet dangerous, since yes the second - possibly other axles - of the first carriage unit must stand in the track brake 95, if the other Distance B between the further signal generator 90 and the Track brake 95 is smaller than the center distance of the first Car unit; for this reason the further distance is B basically dimension such that it is smaller than the smallest distance that may be on the siding 60 wagon units to be parked.

Sollen auf dem Rangiergleis 60 nach dem Erscheinen des gelben Lichts noch weitere Ablaufeinheiten abgestellt werden, müssen von dem Bahnpersonal Maßnahmen getroffen werden, die verhindern, daß auch die zweite bzw. alle anderen Achsen dieser ersten Wageneinheit aus dem Rangiergleis 60 herausgeschoben werden; denn in einem solchen Fall wäre die erste Wageneinheit ungebremst und damit auch unkontrolliert und könnte u. U. zu der Gefahrenstelle 85 weiterrollen. Eine geeignete Maßnahme könnte beispielsweise darin bestehen, die erste Wageneinheit mit anderen oder auch mit allen anderen abgestellten Wageneinheiten zusammenzukuppeln, was nämlich sicherstellen würde, daß sich stets noch eine Achse dieser neu gebildeten Wagenkolonne in dem Bereich der Gleisbremse aufhält.Should be on the siding 60 after the appearance of the yellow Light further processing units must be turned off measures are taken by the railway staff to prevent that the second or all other axes of this first Car unit pushed out of the siding 60 become; because in such a case the first car unit would be unbraked and thus also uncontrolled and could U. roll on to danger point 85. An appropriate measure for example, could be the first carriage unit with others or with all others parked Coupling car units together, which is to ensure would always be an axis of this newly formed Carriage column in the area of the track brake.

Nach einem solchen Zusammenkuppeln kann dann mit dem Abstellen weiterer Wageneinheiten fortgefahren werden, bis die erste Wageneinheit den einen Signalgeber 75 passiert und damit in den Gefahrenbereich 85 eindringt; in diesem Fall erzeugt der eine Signalgeber 75 ein Betätigungssignal ST und überträgt dieses zu der Signaleinrichtung 70, die daraufhin ein deutlich erkennbares rotes Lichtsignal abgibt. Dieses rote Lichtsignal macht das Bahnpersonal darauf aufmerksam, daß keine weiteren Wageneinheiten mehr auf dem Rangiergleis abgestellt werden dürfen, da dort kein Platz mehr frei ist.After such a coupling can then be turned off further car units are continued until the first car unit which passes a signal generator 75 and thus penetrates into danger area 85; generated in this case the one signal generator 75 an actuation signal ST and transmits this to the signaling device 70, which thereupon emits a clearly recognizable red light signal. This red light signal alerts train staff that no more wagon units on the shunting track may be parked as there is no space left.

Der Signalgeber 75 und der weitere Signalgeber 90 können Schienenkontakte sein, die einen Achszählkreis 105 bilden, der das Warnsignal W erzeugt, wenn der Zählerstand des Achszählkreises von Null auf Eins springt, und der das Betätigungssignal ST erzeugt, wenn der Zählerstand um Eins vermindert wird.The signal generator 75 and the further signal generator 90 can Rail contacts that form an axle counting circuit 105, which generates the warning signal W when the count of the axle counting circuit jumps from zero to one, and that the actuation signal ST generates when the count decreases by one becomes.

Die beiden Signalgeber 75 und 90, die Gleisbremse 95 sowie die Signaleinrichtung 70 bilden eine Einrichtung zur Spitzensicherung für ein Rangiergleis einer Gleisanlage, die eine Spitzensicherung durch Bahnpersonal überflüssig macht. Solche Einrichtungen zur Spitzensicherung können auf dem Rangiergleis 60 auch mehrfach hintereinander angeordnet sein; dies ist in der Figur 2 jedoch aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt.The two signal generators 75 and 90, the track brake 95 and the signaling device 70 form a device for tip protection for a siding of a track system, the one No need for tip protection by train staff. Such Tip protection devices can be found on the siding 60 can also be arranged several times in succession; this is in Figure 2, however, for reasons of clarity not shown.
