Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, welche in einen Schienenfahrzeug angeordnet ist und mittels derer ein Schmierstoff auf die Oberfläche eines Schienenradkranzes und/oder mindestens einer Schiene eines Gleiskörpers aufbringbar ist, wobei die Vorrichtung in Abhängigkeit vom Steuersignal einer Steuereinrichtung betätigbar ist.The invention relates to a device which in one Rail vehicle is arranged and by means of which Lubricant on the surface of a rail wheel rim and / or at least one rail of a track body can be applied, the device depending can be actuated by the control signal of a control device.
Vorrichtungen der voranstehend genannten Art dienen zur Verminderung des Verschleißes zwischen Rad und Schiene. Dieser Verschleiß tritt im Bereich von Kurven auf, in denen besonders die jeweils innen liegende Schiene und der jeweils außen liegende Spurkranz erhebliche Kräfte aufnehmen müssen. Indem die betreffenden Schienen bzw. die Schienenkränze der Schienenräder im Bereich der Kontaktflächen geschmiert werden, wird der Reibungskoeffizient zwischen Schiene und Schienenrad und damit einhergehend der Reibungsverschleiß in diesem Bereich vermindert. Dabei hat sich in der Praxis herausgestellt, daß bei Wahl eines geeigneten Schmierstoffs und einer geeigneten Art und Weise der Aufbringung des Schmierstoffs eine derartige Reibungsminderung ohne die Gefahr einer zu starken Verminderung der Kraftübertragung zwischen den Antriebsrädern des Schienenfahrzeugs und den Gleisen erfolgen kann. Devices of the type mentioned above are used for Reduction of wear between wheel and rail. This wear occurs in the area of curves, in which especially the inside rail and the outer flanged wheel has considerable forces have to record. By the rails or the rail rims of the rail wheels in the area of Contact surfaces are lubricated, the Friction coefficient between rail and rail wheel and associated with the frictional wear in this Area diminished. It has been in practice emphasized that when choosing a suitable Lubricant and a suitable way of Application of the lubricant such Reduced friction without the risk of excessive Reduction in power transmission between the Driving wheels of the rail vehicle and the tracks can be done.
Eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 26 17 993 bekannt. Eine solche Vorrichtung erlaubt es, die Schmierung nur dann vorzunehmen, wenn hierzu tatsächlich ein Bedarf besteht. Zu diesem Zweck sind bei der bekannten Vorrichtung im Bereich der verschleißgefährdeten Abschnitte des Gleiskörpers Identifizierungselemente angeordnet, welche mittels eines von der Steuereinrichtung ausgesendeten Signals abtragbar sind. Dabei kann die Identifizierung des jeweiligen Streckenabschnitts bzw. die Kommunikation zwischen dem Steuergerät der bekannten Vorrichtung und dem Identifizierungselement beispielsweise mittels Ultraschallwellen oder mittels eines induktiv oder optisch arbeitenden Systems erfolgen.A device of the type mentioned is from the German Offenlegungsschrift 26 17 993 known. A such device allows lubrication only then if there is actually a need for this. For this purpose, in the known device in Area of the sections at risk of wear Track body identification elements arranged, which by means of one emitted by the control device Signals can be removed. The identification of the respective route section or the communication between the control device of the known device and the identification element, for example by means of Ultrasonic waves or by means of an inductive or optically working system.
Die bekannte Vorrichtung ermöglicht es zwar, die benötigte Schmiermenge durch eine frühzeitige und eindeutige Identifizierung des zu schmierenden Streckenabschnitts erheblich zu verringern und auf diese Weise den immer strenger werdenden Auflagen des Umweltschutzes gerecht zu werden. Dennoch zeigt sich beim praktischen Einsatz der bekannten Vorrichtung, daß die von den jeweiligen Identifizierungselementen gelieferten Informationen häufig nicht mit der erforderlichen Eindeutigkeit feststellbar sind. Darüber hinaus erweist sich, daß die bei der bekannten Vorrichtung zur Kommunikation eingesetzten Elemente hinsichtlich ihrer Übertragungs- und Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit nicht den immer größer werdenden Geschwindigkeiten im Schienenverkehr gewachsen sind.The known device allows the required amount of lubrication through an early and clear identification of the lubrication Route section significantly reduce and on this Way to the increasingly strict requirements of environmental protection to meet. Nevertheless shows up at practical use of the known device that the supplied by the respective identification elements Information often does not match the required Uniqueness can be determined. It also proves themselves that in the known device for Elements used in terms of their communication Transfer and response speed not that ever increasing speeds in Rail transport have grown.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art die Menge des für die Verschleißminderung benötigten Schmierstoffs weiter zu reduzieren und eine schnell reagierende, exakte und sichere automatische Steuerung des Schmierstoffeinsatzes zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention is in a Device of the type mentioned the amount of for the wear reduction required lubricant further to reduce and respond quickly, accurately and Safe automatic control of the use of lubricants to enable.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Steuereinrichtung einen Signalempfänger zum Empfang von Daten, über die die jeweilige Position des Schienenfahrzeugs ermittelbar ist, und eine Auswerteinrichtung umfaßt, die die jeweilige Position des Schienenfahrzeugs mit in einer Speichereinrichtung abgespeicherten Positionen vergleicht und die bei einer Übereinstimmung der jeweiligen Position des Schienenfahrzeugs mit einer der abgespeicherten Positionen ein Signal zum Auslösen oder Beenden des Schmiervorgangs abgibt.This object is achieved in that the Control device for receiving a signal receiver Data about which the respective position of the Rail vehicle can be determined, and a Includes evaluation device that the respective position of the Rail vehicle with in a storage device stored positions and compares them at a Match the respective position of the Rail vehicle with one of the saved Positions a signal to trigger or stop the Lubrication process.

Bei solchen Daten kann es sich beispielsweise um Signale von entsprechend angeordneten Sendeeinrichtungen handeln, aus deren Funksignal sich die Koordinaten der jeweiligen Position des Schienenfahrzeugs ermitteln lassen. Ebenso kann es sich bei den betreffenden Daten um digital übertragene Standortinformation handeln, die geeignet sind, den jeweils aktuellen Aufenthaltsort des Schienenfahrzeugs zu ermitteln. Darüber hinaus können für die Ermittlungen der jeweiligen Position des Schienenfahrzeugs auch die Signale des sog. "Global Positioning System", kurzgenannt "GPS", einem Satellitennavigationssystem, benutzt werden. Das GPS wird seit längerem erfolgreich bei der Schiffs- und Flugzeugnavigation eingesetzt.According to the invention it is proposed to control the Lubrication data to be used for determining of the respective location of the rail vehicle are.

The GPS will for a long time successfully at the ship and Aircraft navigation used.
Die aus den geeigneten Signalen ermittelten Positionsdaten werden in einer mit dem Signalempfänger verbundenen Auswerteinrichtung mit in einem Speicher abgelegten Daten verglichen. Bei diesen Daten kann es sich beispielsweise um die jeweils für den Beginn oder das Ende einer Kurve stehenden Positionsangaben handeln. Ergibt der Vergleich aus den empfangenen Positionsdaten mit den abgespeicherten Positionsdaten, daß sich das Schienenfahrzeug einer bestimmten Kurve nähert, so führt dies zum Auslösen des Schmiervorgangs durch die Steuereinrichtung. Sobald die Auswerteinrichtung anschließend aus dem Vergleich der jeweils aktuellen Positionsdaten mit den abgespeicherten Daten ermittelt, daß das Ende der betreffenden Kurve erreicht ist, so wird auch der Schmiervorgang rechtzeitig beendet. So ist es möglich, den Austrag des Schmiermittels exakt nur innerhalb des verschleißgefährdeten Schienenabschnitts durchzuführen. Dabei ist unter Berücksichtigung der heutzutage erzielbaren Leistungen der elektronischen Datenverarbeitung eine auch zeitlich genaue und mit hoher Sicherheit reproduzierbare Steuerung der Schmiervorrichtung möglich.The determined from the appropriate signals Position data are in one with the signal receiver connected evaluation device with in a memory stored data compared. With this data it can for example, each for the beginning or act at the end of a curve. The comparison results from the received position data with the stored position data that the Rail vehicle approaches a certain curve, so leads this to trigger the lubrication process by the Control device. As soon as the evaluation device then by comparing the current one Position data determined with the stored data, that the end of the curve in question has been reached the lubrication process also ended in good time. That's the way it is possible, the discharge of the lubricant exactly only within the rail section at risk of wear perform. Taking into account the achievements of the electronic achievable today Data processing is also accurate in time and with high Reproducible control of the safety Lubrication device possible.
Den abgespeicherten Positionsdaten können eine Vielzahl von zusätzlichen Informationen zugeordnet sein. Günstig ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, wenn aus den zusätzlichen Informationen beispielsweise hervorgeht, welcher Art (Rechts-/Linkskurve) der jeweils auf eine bestimmte Position folgende Streckenabschnitt ist und welche Steigung folgt. Auf diese Weise kann beispielsweise das unterschiedliche Verschleißverhalten bei Links- oder Rechtskurven sowie der Einfluß der jeweiligen Steigung auf den Schmiervorgang berücksichtigt werden.The stored position data can be a variety be associated with additional information. Cheap is it in this context if from the additional Information, for example, shows what type (Right / left curve) each on a specific Position is the following route section and which one Slope follows. In this way, for example different wear behavior with left or Right turns and the influence of the respective slope be considered on the lubrication process.
