Abstract

The invention relates to a track arrangement for rail mounted vehicles, especially railways, comprising a superstructure with rails arranged on railway sleepers and a ballast bed (24) for supporting said railway sleepers. The superstructure of at least one track is housed in a U-shaped concrete trough extending along the length of the railway and having a base plate as well as, on opposite faces, marginal caps extending upwards and laterally supporting the ballast bed. At least one drain (17) is provided in the trough for draining its inner space. In order to keep subterranean waters from entering the trough simply and reliably, a closing device associated with the drain is provided to at least prevent the water from entering the trough inner space through the drain. The closing device can be a check valve or a shutter mounted in such a way that it is adjustable.

Description

Die Erfindung betrift eine Gleisanlage für schienengebundene Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Eisenbahnen, mit einem Oberbau, der auf Schwellen gelagerte Schienen und ein die Schwellen unterstützendes Schotterbett aufweist, wobei der Oberbau zumindest eines Gleises in einem in Längsrichtung der Gleisanlage verlaufenden, U-förmigen Trog aus Beton aufgenommen ist, der eine Bodenplatte und an entgegengesetzten Seiten nach oben vorstehende, das Schotterbett seitlich abstützende Randkappen aufweist, wobei im Trog zumindest eine Abflußleitung zur Entwässerung des Troginnenraums vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a track system for rail-bound Vehicles, especially railways, with one Superstructure, the rails mounted on sleepers and a die Has threshold supporting ballast bed, wherein the superstructure of at least one track in a longitudinal direction of the track system, U-shaped trough is made of concrete, a floor slab and on opposite sides up, the Ballast bed has lateral end caps supporting, with at least one drain pipe for drainage in the trough the trough interior is provided.

Seit langer Zeit wird bei Eisenbahn-Gleisanlagen als Oberbau der sogenannte Schotteroberbau verwendet, bei dem die Schwellen auf einem Schotterbett aufliegen, das seinerseits auf einem Unterbau aufgelagert ist, über den die vom Eisenbahnfahrzeug ausgeübten Kräfte in den Erdboden abgeleitet werden. Der Schotteroberbau hat sich bisher bewährt, da er eine hohe Flexibilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit besitzt und in relativ einfacher Weise instandzuhalten ist. Für eine ordnungsgemäße Funktionsfähigkeit des Schotteroberbaus ist es notwendig, zuverlässig zu verhindern, daß dieser durch eventuell aufsteigendes Grundwasser überschwemmt oder unterspült wird. Wenn Gleisanlagen in Geländeabschnitten mit hohem Grundwasserstand errichtet werden sollen, ist es daher notwendig und üblich, den gesamten Verkehrsraum, d.h. die Gleisanlage mit allen Nebenbauwerken wie seitlichen Masten, Schallschutzwänden etc. mit einer wasserdichten Betonwanne unterseitig zu umgeben. Da eine derartige Betonwanne bautechnisch aufwendig ist und relativ große Abmessungen aufweist, sind mit dieser Vorgehensweise sehr hohe Kosten verbunden. Darüber hinaus treten bei derartigen Betonwannen bei steigendem Grundwasser häufig Auftriebsprobleme auf, die zusätzliche Verankerungen notwendig machen.For a long time has been used as a railway track system Superstructure the so-called gravel superstructure used, in which the sleepers rest on a gravel bed, the is in turn supported on a substructure over which the forces exerted by the railway vehicle into the ground be derived. The ballast track has changed proven so far because it is highly flexible and adaptable owns and in a relatively simple manner is to be maintained. For proper functionality of the ballast superstructure it is necessary to be reliable to prevent this from possibly rising Groundwater is flooded or submerged. If Track systems in areas with high groundwater levels to be erected, it is therefore necessary and usual, the entire traffic area, i.e. the track system with all outbuildings such as side masts, soundproof walls etc. with a waterproof concrete tub to surround on the underside. Because such a concrete tub is technically complex and relatively large dimensions has with this procedure are very high costs connected. In addition, occur in such concrete tubs buoyancy problems with increasing groundwater that require additional anchorages.

Gleichartige Probleme treten auch bei anderen Oberbauformen auf. Aus der DE 195 00 443 A1, der DE 41 00 881 A1 und der DE 44 39 894 A1 ist es bekannt, das Schotterbett in einem in Längsrichtung der Gleisanlage verlaufenden Trog aus Beton anzuordnen, um eine gute Abstützung des Oberbaus auch bei hohen Fahrgeschwindigkeiten der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge zu gewährleisten. Um das bei Regen oder sonstigen Niederschlägen in den Trog gelangende Wasser stetig abführen zu können, sind in den Trog eine Vielzahl von Abflußleitungen integriert, durch die das Wasser aus dem Troginnenraum abfließen kann. Bei ansteigendem Grundwasserspiegel besteht auch hier die Gefahr, daß das Grundwasser durch die Abflußleitungen hindurch in den Troginnenraum eintritt und dort die Tragfähigkeit des Oberbaus beeinträchtigt oder diesen sogar beschädigt. Auch derartige Gleisanlagen werden deshalb mit den oben genannten Grundwasser-Betonwannen versehen, wodurch die bereits genannten Nachteile verbunden sind.Similar problems also occur with other superstructures on. From DE 195 00 443 A1, DE 41 00 881 A1 and DE 44 39 894 A1 it is known the ballast bed in a running in the longitudinal direction of the track system Arrange the concrete trough to provide good support for the Superstructure even at high speeds of the railway vehicles to ensure. In the rain or other rainfall water entering the trough Being able to drain away continuously is a multitude in the trough integrated by drain lines through which the water comes out can flow out of the trough interior. When the water table rises there is also a risk that the Groundwater through the drain pipes into the Trough interior enters and the load-bearing capacity of the Superstructure impaired or even damaged. Such track systems are therefore with the above provided groundwater concrete tanks, which the Disadvantages already mentioned are connected.

Die EP 0 663 470 A1 zeigt eine Gleisanlage mit einem U-förmigen Trog aus Beton, in dem das Schotterbett und die Gleise aufgenommen werden. Um während der Bauphase ein Ablaufen von Niederschlagswasser zu ermöglichen, sind in dem Trog beidseitig eine Vielzahl von Abflußöffnungen ausgebildet. Nach der Ausrichtung des Gleisrostes wird das Schotterbett in eine aushärtende Mörtelsuspension eingebunden, die den Troginnenraum vollständig ausfüllt. Um ein Abfließen der Mörtelsuspension zu vermeiden, müssen die Abflußöffnungen vor deren Einbringen mit Hilfe von Stopfen verschlossen werden. Nach der Fertigstellung der Gleisanlage ist ein monolitischer Lagerkörper für die Gleise gebildet, der Niederschlagswasser oberflächlich ableitet, ohne daß es sich in dem Trog ansammeln kann. Darüber hinaus verhindert die ausgehärtete Mörtelsuspension in Zusammenwirken mit den eingegossenen Stopfen, daß das Grundwasser in den Trog eindringt. Mit diesem Aufbau ist der Nachteil verbunden, daß das Ausgießen des gesamten Troginnenraums sehr aufwendig und teuer ist und nachträgliche Gleiskorrekturen erschwert.EP 0 663 470 A1 shows a track system with a U-shaped trough made of concrete, in which the ballast bed and the tracks are picked up. To during the construction phase allow rainwater to drain off a large number of drainage openings in the trough on both sides educated. After aligning the track grate the ballast bed in a hardening mortar suspension integrated, which completely fills the trough interior. To prevent the mortar suspension from flowing off, the drainage openings must be made with the help of to be closed by stoppers. After completion The track system is a monolithic bearing body for the Tracks formed, the rain water superficial discharges without it being able to accumulate in the trough. In addition, the hardened mortar suspension prevents in cooperation with the cast plugs that the groundwater penetrates into the trough. With this structure the disadvantage is that the pouring of the whole Trough interior is very complex and expensive subsequent track corrections difficult.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gleisanlage der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der das Eintreten von Grundwasser in den Trog zuverlässig und in einfacher Weise vermieden ist.The invention has for its object a track system of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the Entry of groundwater into the trough reliably and in is simply avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Gleisanlage des o.g. Aufbaus dadurch gelöst, daß der Abflußleitung eine Verschlußeinrichtung zugeordnet ist, die ein Verschlußelement umfaßt, das wahlweise zwischen einer geöffneten Stellung, in der das Wasser aus dem Troginnenraum abfließen kann, und einer die Abflußleitung verschließenden Stellung verstellbar ist, in der zumindest das Eindringen von Wasser durch die Abflußleitung in den Troginnenraum verhindert ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a track system of the above Structure solved in that the drain line a closure device is associated with a closure element comprises, optionally between an open position in which the water can drain from the interior of the trough, and a position closing the drain line adjustable is in which at least water penetration prevented by the drain pipe into the interior of the trough is.

Die Erfindung geht von der Überlegung aus, daß der der seitlichen Abstützung des Schotterbetts dienende Trog auch als Schutzwanne gegen aufsteigendes Grundwasser verwendet werden kann. Dabei ist weiterhin vorgesehen, das im Troginnenraum befindliche oder bei Niederschlägen eintretende Wasser bei normalem Grundwasserstand über die Abflußleitungen abzuführen. Der Eintritt von Wasser bei steigendem Grundwasserspiegel durch die Abflußleitungen hindurch wird jedoch im Bedarfsfall mittels des verstellbaren Verschlußelementes unterbunden.The invention is based on the consideration that the lateral support for the ballast bed also as a protective tank against rising groundwater can be used. It is also provided that that in the interior of the trough or during precipitation water entering at normal groundwater level above the Drain pipes. The entry of water at rising water table through the drain pipes However, if necessary, it can be adjusted using the adjustable Closure element prevented.

Die Randkappen sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Gleisanlage selbstverständlich so hoch ausgebildet, daß das statistisch zu erwartende Grundwasser nicht über die Randkappen in den Trog hineinlaufen kann. Der Trog ist dabei in Höhe und Querschnitt so bemessen, daß er bei allen zu erwartenden Grundwasserständen auftriebssicher ohne Verankerungen auf dem Baugrund aufliegt.The edge caps are in the track system according to the invention of course so highly trained that statistically expected groundwater not over the edge caps can run into the trough. The trough is in The height and cross-section should be dimensioned so that it closes at all expected groundwater levels without buoyancy Anchoring rests on the ground.

Da eine Absperrung der Abflußleitungen aufgrund steigenden Grundwassers relativ selten und gegebenenfalls in Jahrzehnten nur einmal notwendig ist, wird erfindungsgemäß als Verschlußvorrichtung ein mechanisches Verschlußelement bevorzugt, das entweder manuell oder mit einer entsprechenden Antriebsvorrichtung wahlweise in eine geöffnete, die Abflußleitung freigebende Stellung oder in eine die Abflußleitung in beide Fließrichtungen verschließende Stellung gebracht werden kann. Als Verschlußvorrichtung hat sich eine verstellbar und insbesondere schwenkbar gelagerte Verschlußklappe bewährt. Alternativ kann auch ein über Zahnstange und Gewinde steuerbares Schiebeschott oder ein Rückschlagventil vorgesehen sein, das eine vom Troginnenraum nach außen gerichtete Wasserströmung zuläßt, eine entgegengesetzte Wasserströmung jedoch verhindert.Because a shutdown of the drain pipes due to rising Groundwater relatively rare and possibly in Decades only once is necessary according to the invention as a closure device, a mechanical closure element preferred, either manually or with a corresponding drive device optionally in a open position which releases the drain line or in one which closes the drain line in both flow directions Position can be brought. As a locking device has become adjustable and in particular Swivel-mounted flap has proven itself. alternative can also be controlled via rack and thread Sliding bulkhead or a check valve may be provided, the one flow of water directed outwards from the interior of the trough allows an opposite flow of water however prevented.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Verschlußeinrichtung eine Detektoreinrichtung zugeordnet, mittels der der aktuelle Grundwasserstand in der Umgebung des Troges erfaßt wird. Wenn die Detektorvorrichtung ein Überschreiten eines vorbestimmten Grenzwertes des Grundwasserstandes feststellt, wirkt sie entweder direkt auf das Verschlußelement ein und verschließt die Abflußleitung, vorzugsweise ist jedoch vorgesehen, daß die Detektoreinrichtung ein Signal abgibt, das von einer Steuereinheit empfangen wird, woraufhin die notwendige Maßnahme zur Aktivierung einer Antriebsvorrichtung zum Verschließen des Verschlußelementes oder eine Benachrichtigung von Servicepersonal erfolgt, das dann die Verschlußelemente in die geschlossene Stellung bringt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the closure device assigned a detector device, by means of the current groundwater level in the area of the trough is grasped. If the detector device is a Exceeding a predetermined limit of the groundwater level determines, it either acts directly the closure element and closes the drain line, however, it is preferably provided that the detector device emits a signal from a control unit is received, whereupon the necessary action to activate a drive device for closing of the closure element or a notification done by service personnel, who then the closure elements in the closed position.

Wenn das Verschlußelement die Abflußleitung über längere Zeit verschlossen hält, weil der Grundwasserspiegel auf einem hohen Niveau verbleibt, kann sich im Trog aus Niederschlägen resultierendes Wasser ansammeln. Um auch dieses im Bedarfsfall entfernen zu können, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, daß in dem Trog eine Entwässerungspumpe angeordnet ist, mittels der der Troginnenraum entwässert werden kann.If the closure element the drain line over longer Time keeps locked because the water table is on remains at a high level, can turn out in the trough Accumulate resulting water. Too too to be able to remove this if necessary is preferred provided that a drainage pump in the trough is arranged by means of which the trough interior is drained can be.

Für den erfindungsgemäßen Trog sind verschiedene Ausgestaltungen denkbar. Einerseits kann vorgesehen sein, jedes Gleis in einem eigenen Trog aufzunehmen, aus Kostengründen dürfte es jedoch günstiger sein, mehrere benachbarte Gleise in einem gemeinsamen Trog aufzunehmen. Various configurations are available for the trough according to the invention conceivable. On the one hand, it can be provided each track in a separate trough, for cost reasons however, it should be cheaper, several Adjacent tracks in a common trough.

Insbesondere im letzteren Fall sollten auf beiden Seiten des Troges, d.h. in beiden Randkappen Abflußleitungen angeordnet sein, die jeweils mittels einer Verschlußeinrichtung absperrbar sind.Especially in the latter case should be on both sides of the trough, i.e. drain pipes in both edge caps be arranged, each by means of a closure device are lockable.
