Bei Einrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art, also bei Rillenschienen, besteht eine der Hauptaufgaben darin, neben einer gleichmäßigen Verteilung des Schmierstoffes auf die Rillenwandung, eine Verstopfung der Verteileinrichtung zu verhindern.In devices of the type mentioned, so in grooved rails, one of the main tasks is to prevent in addition to a uniform distribution of the lubricant on the groove wall, a blockage of the distributor.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems schlägt die Erfindung gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 vor, dass die langgestreckte Platte in der Rille der Schiene anzuordnen ist, wobei die randoffenen Aussparungen der Platte von einer Deckplatte abgedeckt sind, und wobei die Deckplatte zumindest im Überdeckungsbereich wie eine Ventilplatte wirkend elastisch ausgebildet ist. Damit wird das Eindringen von sich in der Rillenschiene sammelndem Schmutz in die Verteileinrichtung auf Grund der selbsttätig abschließenden Ventilplatte verhindert.To solve this problem, the invention proposes according to the characterizing part of
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung wird der Schmierstoff über jene Aussparungen, welche die seitlichen Plattenränder anschneiden, auf die Innenwandung der Rille aufgebracht, wobei entsprechend der Anzahl der Aussparungen eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Schmierstoffes erzielbar ist. Dabei wirkt die im Überdeckungsbereich der Aussparungen elastische Deckplatte ähnlich einem Verschlussventil und verhindert das Eindringen irgendwelcher Fremdkörper in die Aussparungen der Platte.In the device according to the invention, the lubricant is applied to the inner wall of the groove via those recesses which cut the lateral plate edges, and a uniform one corresponding to the number of recesses Distribution of the lubricant can be achieved. In this case, the elastic in the covering area of the recesses cover plate acts like a closure valve and prevents the penetration of any foreign bodies in the recesses of the plate.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die in jenem Bereich, in dem sie die randoffenen Aussparungen überdeckt, elastisch ausgebildete Deckplatte von einer im wesentlichen I-förmigen Platte abgedeckt ist, wobei die Breite des Steges dieser I-förmigen Platte dem Mindestabstand zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden randoffenen Aussparungen der die randoffenen Aussparungen besitzenden Platte entspricht. Für den Fall, dass die Deckplatte als Lamelle ausgebildet und hochelastisch ist, wird diese Platte durch die 1-Platte an jenen Stellen niedergehalten, wo keine Elastizität zwecks Abhebens von den randoffenen Aussparungen erforderlich ist.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that in that area in which it covers the edge-open recesses, elastically formed cover plate is covered by a substantially I-shaped plate, wherein the width of the web of this I-shaped plate the minimum distance between the opposing open-edged recesses of the edge-open recesses owning plate corresponds. In the event that the cover plate is formed as a lamella and highly elastic, this plate is held down by the 1-plate in those places where no elasticity for the purpose of lifting off the open-edged recesses is required.
Zur Vergleichmäßigung der Schmierstoffzufuhr, ausgehend von einer Zufuhrstelle, zur Speisung mehrerer Schmierstoffabgabeöffnungen, die nicht unbedingt als randoffene Aussparungen ausgebildet sein müssen, wie dies vorstehend beschrieben wurde, kann eine Schmierstoffzufuhrvorrichtung vorgesehen sein, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass sie mehrere Platten aufweist, die aufeinanderliegend als Stapel in der Rille der Schiene, insbesondere am Rillenboden fixierbar sind, wobei die unterste Platte der aufeinanderliegenden Platten mit einem Strömungsteiler versehen ist, wobei in den Strömungsteiler, bevorzugt mittig, eine Zufuhröffnung für den Schmierstoff mündet und der Strömungsteiler über mindestens zwei voneinander beabstandete Öffnungen mit in einer weiteren Platte des Stapels aus aufeinanderliegenden Platten angeordneten Strömungsteilern in Verbindung steht und dass im Stapel auf die, die weiteren Strömungsteiler aufweisende Platte eine über Durchgangsöffnungen mit dem bzw. den Strömungsteilern in Verbindung stehende als auch mit den Schmierstoffabgabeöffnungen in Verbindung stehende Platte folgt, welche den oder die Strömungsteiler abdeckt. Der Strömungsteiler kann als langgestreckte Aussparung der Platte ausgebildet sein. Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Strömungsteiler werden aus einem einzigen zugeführten Strom, Teilströme in einer der Anzahl der Schmierstoffabgabeöffnungen entsprechenden Anzahl gebildet. In der beispielhaften Ausführungsform können zunächst aus dem einzigen zugeführten Strom zwei Teilströme gebildet werden, die dann in weitere Teilströme, etwa in acht Teilströme, unterteilt werden, von welchen jeder eine Schmierstoffabgabeöffnung mit Schmierstoff versorgt.To equalize the lubricant supply, starting from a supply point, for feeding a plurality of lubricant discharge openings, which need not necessarily be formed as edge-open recesses, as described above, a lubricant supply device may be provided, which is characterized in that it has a plurality of plates, which are superimposed can be fixed as a stack in the groove of the rail, in particular on the groove bottom, wherein the lowermost plate of the superimposed plates is provided with a flow divider, wherein in the flow divider, preferably centrally, a feed opening for the lubricant opens and the flow divider via at least two spaced-apart openings with in another plate of the stack of superimposed plates arranged flow dividers in connection and that in the stack on the, the further flow divider plate having a through openings with the or following the flow dividers and also associated with the lubricant discharge ports, the plate covering the flow divider (s) follows. The flow divider may be formed as an elongate recess of the plate. By virtue of the flow divider provided according to the invention, partial streams are formed in a number corresponding to the number of lubricant discharge openings from a single supplied stream. In the exemplary embodiment, two partial streams may first be formed from the single supplied stream, which are then subdivided into further sub-streams, such as eight sub-streams, each of which supplies lubricant to a lubricant discharge port.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind der bzw. die in der weiteren Platte angeordneten Strömungsteiler als Vertiefung, insbesondere von I-Form, in der Platte ausgebildet, wobei die Öffnungen für die Zufuhr des Schmierstoffes zu den Strömungsteilern als Durchbrechungen im Boden der Vertiefung ausgebildet sind. Die Strömungsteiler in der weiteren Platte können jedoch auch als Durchbrechungen, insbesondere von I-Form, in der weiteren Platte ausgebildet sein, wobei die Platte an einer Seite durch einen mit ihr fest verbundenen Boden abgedeckt ist, der die Durchbrechungen überbrückt und mit den in die Durchbrechungen der Platte mündenden Durchgangsöffnungen für den Schmierstoff versehen ist. Die Durchbrechung in der weiteren Platte kann dabei beispielsweise durch einen Stanzvorgang hergestellt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the flow divider arranged in the further plate is formed as a depression, in particular of I-shape, in the plate, wherein the openings for the supply of the lubricant to the flow dividers are formed as perforations in the bottom of the depression.

Hiebei mündet jede dieser Durchgangsöffnungen in eine der die Längsränder der Platte anschneidenden, die Schmierstoffabgabeöffnungen bildenden Aussparungen. Im Bereich der Flanschen erfolgt hiebei die Verteilung des Schmiermittels auch quer zur Längserstreckung der Schmiereinrichtung. Die I-förmigen Vertiefungen bzw. Durchbrechungen wirken hiebei praktisch als Verteilkammern für das Schmiermittel. Die Gesamthöhe der Schmiereinrichtung ist so zu gestalten, daß das auf der Schiene laufende Rad mit der Schmiereinrichtung beim Darüberrollen nicht in Berührung kommt. Die Gesamthöhe sollte daher etwa 14 mm nicht überschreiten. Die Schmiereinrichtung selbst wird am Rillengrund bevorzugt mittels Schrauben fixiert.If the flow dividers are formed in plan view as I-shaped depressions or openings, as described above, then, according to a further embodiment, the through-openings, which connect the flow divider in the further plate with the lubricant discharge openings above the flanges of the I-shaped trained flow divider, wherein each flange is preferably associated with a pair of through holes. Hiebei each of these through holes opens into one of the longitudinal edges of the plate-cutting, the lubricant discharge openings forming recesses. In the area of the flanges hiebei the distribution of the lubricant also takes place transversely to the longitudinal extent of the lubricating device. The I-shaped recesses or openings act hiebei practically as distribution chambers for the lubricant. The overall height of the lubricating device is to be designed so that the wheel running on the rail does not come into contact with the lubricating device when rolling over it. The total height should therefore not exceed about 14 mm. The lubricating device itself is preferably fixed to the groove bottom by means of screws.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, den gesamten Einsatz, der für die Schmierung der Rille vorgesehen ist, nach Lösen der Schrauben aus der Rille abzuziehen. Der in die Zufuhröffnung der untersten Platte eingesetzte Nippel wird hiebei mit abgezogen und der Kontakt mit dem Innen- konus des in die Schiene eingesetzten Nippels gelöst.A further embodiment of the device according to the invention is characterized in that inserted into the supply port of the lowermost plate a nipple provided with an outer cone, is preferably screwed and that the outer cone protrudes into an opening into the groove of the rail passage opening into which a to the outer cone used correspondingly formed inner cone provided further nipple, is preferably screwed, wherein the inner cone sealingly abuts the outer cone. By this configuration, it is possible to deduct the entire insert, which is provided for the lubrication of the groove, after loosening the screws from the groove. The nipple inserted into the feed opening of the lowermost plate is then pulled off and the contact with the inner cone of the nipple inserted into the rail is released.
