Definitions
- Chamber filler made of rigid polyurethane foam
- the invention relates to the use of pure, unfilled polyurethane for chamber fillers and a chamber filler.
- Rail base connected, by pouring bitumen, resin, rubber and various admixtures.
- damping buffers which are firmly attached to the rail web and made of elastic material, preferably rubber, for sound absorption.
- elastic material preferably rubber
- the use of sponge, moss, or cellular rubber has already been proposed, which could encase not only the rail web but also the rail foot and, for example, with the rail web by gluing or special
- rubber should be used for chamber fillers, which is provided with cavities to increase the damping properties and thereby avoids screw connections and similar parts connected to the rail web.
- the rubber profile has obviously been produced as an endless profile by extrusion or similar processes.
- the filler body can be pushed into the recess between the rail head and the rail base with a self-locking mechanism. It should have a Shore hardness D 10 to D 60 and consist of polyethylene or an elastomer and be supplied in lengths of 500 to 1000 mm
- the chamber filler can also be filled with mineral wool or foam.
- the document FR-A 266 43 09 discloses chamber fillers for tram tracks or the like for completely filling the rail chambers.
- the initially two-part body consisting of a semi-rigid, pressure distribution plate made of polyurethane and a moisture-resistant polyolefin foam cushion, is connected to a piece by welding, gluing or casting.
- the foam rests fully on the rail; the plate also serves as a separating element from the road building material, lying outside the rail chamber.
- EP-B 0 180 118 proposes to shed material between two formworks above the rail foot and at a distance from the rail web to the rail head, which consists of solvent-free, elastically curing, two-component material based on polyurethane, in which clay grains are enclosed.
- DE-A 37 11 190 also discloses fittings made from this material with the same positioning by the same applicant.
- the fillers In the first four publications mentioned, in addition to the elasticity of the chamber fillers and, if applicable, the similar rail supports, the focus is on sound insulation, in particular the sound insulation emanating from the rail web. In the last three cited patents, due to their design, attempts are essentially made to achieve sound insulation.
- the fillers When used for tram tracks, especially in connection with grooved rails, the fillers also have the function of separating structure-borne noise from the surrounding material and should serve as the basis for the grouting of the rails up to the top edge of the rail to create a gap between the pavement adjacent to the rail and the rail to close.
- the material used is also designed to be very elastic in order to decouple the structure-borne noise guarantee.
- Rod-like molded parts can be produced from the material, which have a shape adapted to the chambers of the tram rail profile, the molded parts preferably being rods of approximately 500 mm in length and with cutouts for those connected to the rail
- the molded parts can also be provided with a tongue and groove in order to couple them to one another in a form-fitting manner.
- These molded parts with a relatively high density are also shown in an in-house "Technical Notice No. 7.4 / 11.92" by the applicant from 1992. It also reports that trams in urban areas
- the economy for horizontal storage i.e. the support of the paving or paths to the superstructure must be taken into account. Therefore, traditionally, different sizes of concrete chamber blocks are used or the rail chambers are poured with mortar.
- the chamber stone made of the multi-component material based on polyurethane with the addition of rubber has better vibration-damping properties and can also be 100% recycled.
- the advantage of this dense but elastic chamber stone is that it can be manufactured with a precise fit and with low tolerances.
- the disadvantage is the relatively high cost compared to the frequently used concrete blocks or the grouting for horizontal storage of the track.
- the invention is based on the problem of an easy to install, compared to the existing chamber filler made of plastic material according to the prior art essential propose cheaper filler, which has advantages over mortar grouting or concrete blocks.
- pure, unfilled polyurethane for chamber fillers which are suitable for being clamped into the chambers of rail-guided vehicles, is to be used by casting as rigid foam in a casting mold which is exactly adapted to the chamber shape.
- the density of the rigid foam should be 40 to 160 kg / m 3 and can be adjusted by the skilled person on the production side to the respective application by selecting the appropriate material.
- the base material the processing of which as a two-component material is known per se to the person skilled in the art, is added with a corresponding amount of additives such as hardener and also accelerator or the like in order to adjust the processing and / or curing time.
- the criterion for the choice of density by the person skilled in the art is first the particular requirement for the decoupling of structure-borne noise between the
- Rail and the surrounding building material such as plaster, bituminous building material or the like.
- a chamber filler is provided for use in tram tracks, and in the case of use with grooved rails, the chamber filler on both sides of the rails must of course have a shape that is specially adapted to the groove area.
- densities of the hard foam are set in the upper range of the specified densities. If hardly any traffic loads and thus lower vertical and / or horizontal forces act on the chamber fill, a lower density is selected for the rigid foam.
- the polyurethane to be cast more precisely that with hardener and / or accelerator and optionally with further additives for coloring or other provided two-component material can be adjusted and, if necessary, the casting mold can be thermally regulated so that the chamber filler has a thin skin (paper skin or integral skin) after casting.
- Casting process can also be used to change, eg to shorten the response time of the two-component material
- a full body made of essentially pure unfilled polyurethane has completely sufficient properties in most cases and is also much cheaper than other full bodies made of plastic material to date.
- the full body is mechanically and thermally sufficiently resilient for the intended use the molded blocks made of concrete or mortar, electrically insulating, especially against stray currents
- the rail head and rail foot can be pushed into the chamber without the need for additional fastening.
- additional decoupling formwork can be installed to the side of the rail, the full body made of rigid foam can also be used these elements are nailed or clamped with fasteners on the construction site
- the casting mold can of course be designed so that these moldings are manufactured with certain grid dimensions, taking into account that between the rails of a track, track holders with corresponding screw connections are arranged on the rail web Clearances, for example for rail fastenings or add-on parts, can be introduced in the casting mold as a negative mold.
- the casting length corresponds in its product length to the simple, preferably multiple, an installation length of the packing.
- the installation length can then be created on site by means of a cut, and a cutout can also be cut out for an attachment that is not planned by the factory.
- the filling body can also be used as a molded foam body of constant cross-section over a long length by e.g. Continuous casting or casting can be produced in long forms.
- the body is later cut to length using suitable cutting tools, such as knives or saws, and the cutouts, e.g. for tie rods or brackets, rail fastenings and the like can also be cut out using such manually operated cutting tools.
- suitable cutting tools such as knives or saws
- the cutouts e.g. for tie rods or brackets, rail fastenings and the like can also be cut out using such manually operated cutting tools.
- the cut or dividing surfaces do not lose their waterproof properties due to the material.
- Require rail fastenings can be used again after disassembly / assembly of the track.
- the filler that is no longer usable can be disposed of with household waste - not hazardous waste - or as concrete crushed aggregate can be added.
- the filler body is lightweight compared to the concrete bodies but also compared to the plastic bodies according to the prior art and allows fast and clean processing and thus offers a cost saving compared to the purchase price and the transport costs of the concrete elements.
- the fillers according to the invention thus represent an advanced alternative to conventional concrete chamber filling elements or a corresponding mortar grouting.
