Description

The invention relates to a rail-transporting and silo wagon for conveying and storing bulk goods, with a wagon-owned Receiving box, which is suitable for storing bulk material and in a wagon-own material conveyor has a floor area, wherein at least one bulk goods receiving area of a wagon end Bulk material can be introduced into the receiving box, into the receiving box entered bulk material by means of the material conveyor along the conveyor and silo wagon towards the other end of the wagon can be transported and bulk material via at least one transfer device at the other end of the wagon can be released from the receiving box, if necessary into a bulk goods receiving area of an associated further conveyor and silo wagon of appropriate design.

The invention further relates to a transport train or track treatment train, comprising at least one such conveyor and silo wagon. The The invention further relates to a method for supplying a track construction site with track construction materials using such a transport train or track-handling train and a method for recording caching and if necessary, removal of materials to or from a construction site using such Transportzugs or track treatment train.

A rail-accessible conveying and silo wagon of the type mentioned, a Transportzug or track treatment train of the type mentioned and Methods as mentioned are known from DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 known. The well-known rail-mounted conveyor and silo wagon, hereinafter referred to as "transport wagon" is, has exactly one wagon own recording box. Training the well-known wagon allows the passing on of the Railcar conveyed or stored material to an adjacent Wagon, the transport wagon either for the pure production operation to a subsequent, serving for removal transport car or in the direction of the track construction site or for material storage can be used. In practice, the wagon was in the first place used for the removal of materials from a track construction site. He allows, for example, a continuous loading and unloading cycle concerning the material removal, in particular accordingly the working feed of a track construction site traveling along a track at the track renewal or leveling improvement. It is called Example of a GSG Knape Gleissanierung GmbH or the company Europool practiced the type of track rehabilitation using a so-called Planum improvement machine (about type PM 200) and of the the relevant conveyor and silo wagons correspond to "material handling and silo units "about type MFS 40 (System Plasser - Knape).

Starting from the preamble of claim 1, which is based on the US-A-5,151,002, the invention proposes the receiving boxes to arrange one above the other.

The invention thus proposes, the conveyor and silo wagon with at least one further receiving box to be used for storage of bulk material is suitable and in a ground area a wagon own has further material conveying device, wherein at least over another bulk receiving area from a wagon end Bulk material in the other receiving box is entered, in the other Receiving box entered bulk material by means of the further material conveyor along the conveyor and silo wagon towards the other Wagon end is transportable and at least one more Transfer device Bulk goods at the other end of the wagon out of the receiving box can be dispensed, possibly in another bulk goods receiving area one of the associated further conveyor and silo wagon corresponding Design type. It is especially thought of, the railways Conveyor and silo wagon with a first and a second receiving box each to store bulk material are suitable and in a ground area waggoneigene first or have second material conveying device, wherein at least one first or second bulk receiving area of a wagon end bulk material can be introduced into the first or second receiving box, in the first and second receiving box entered bulk material by means of the first or second material conveying device along the conveyor and silo wagon is transportable towards the other end of the wagon and at least one first or second transfer device bulk material at the other end of the wagon can be released from the receiving box, if necessary in a first or second bulk receiving area of a / the associated further conveyor and silo wagon of appropriate design. For In some applications it may be expedient if the inventive Conveying and silo wagon additionally at least one other, having correspondingly formed receiving box.

The invention is based on the finding that it is particularly relevant the supply of a track construction site with required material or Materials, but also regarding the reception, caching and if necessary, removal of materials to or from the track construction site expedient can be two different materials or material fractions from each other separately, but temporally parallel (simultaneously) supply or feed to be able to record or record or record. It will This achieves much greater flexibility and productivity in connection with the material flows and thus ultimately also the work progress of a track construction site itself can thereby substantially be increased.

In the prior art, it is well known in connection with Track construction work to use wagons with several conveyor belts are equipped to transport different materials. such Conveyors or wagons but have no silo function, so can do not cache materials in technically relevant quantities. In contrast, the invention conveyor and silo waggons Accommodating boxes that store technically relevant quantities of materials can, as also by the term part "silo" in the Generic name is expressed. With regard to the cache function the material conveying speed is at least one of Material handling equipment, preferably all material handling equipment of the wagon, between a larger value for production and one be smaller value for memory operation adjustable, preferably independently from each other for the material handling equipment and / or at least partially continuous.

The transfer facilities can each one over the wagon end projecting, separate from the relevant material conveyor Conveyor, preferably endless conveyor, have. The conveyor is with an upper discharge end above an associated bulk receiving area another conveyor and silo wagon corresponding Type arranged or can be arranged to bulk material in the associated receiving box of further conveying and silo wagon appropriate type to hand over.

For most applications it will be sufficient if the material handling equipment of the wagon all with the same conveying direction along the Conveyor and silo wagons are operated, so that it is sufficient so far, if the wagon is only operated in this way. A high Flexibility in terms of material flows can be achieved by that the material conveyors in a corresponding Wagon operating mode with different conveying directions along the Conveyor and silo wagons are operable. High flexibility becomes particular achieved even if the material handling equipment with changing Conveying directions along the conveyor and silo wagons operable are.

With regard to the possibly provided convertibility of the conveying direction at least one of the material conveyors is proposed in addition, that the conveyor and silo wagon at least one corresponding a selected conveying direction of the relevant material conveyor adjustable or convertible transfer device (first or second or further transfer device) in one end area or in both Has end portions of the wagon. It can be one of the relevant Receiving box associated transfer device according to selected delivery direction of an end region of the wagon degradable and be attachable to the other end of the wagon.

An advantageous embodiment of the conveyor and silo wagon is characterized characterized in that the receiving boxes are arranged one above the other. In a further development, it is proposed that at least one upper receiving box height adjustable to its and the absorption capacity of one below This receiving box arranged receiving box to vary. This makes it possible to adjust the recording capacity of a selected Adjust recording box according to the material storage needs, where the absorption capacity of this receiving box, if necessary, at the expense of the absorption capacity of another receiving box is increased, wherein in Extreme case of the other receiving box and its material conveyor in the case of a greatly reduced absorption capacity, if necessary, in the first place be used as a material conveyor and less than storage media can.

An advantageous construction of the wagon is characterized by that at least one of the receiving boxes at least in a lower Area is formed by an optionally height-adjustable receptacle, the a tub bottom and adjoining the bottom of the tub side walls having. Here, the bottom of a tub of a Upper strand of a conveyor belt (possibly in the form of a scale belt) the be formed material conveyor or the bottom of the tub may have the upper strand.

It is also proposed that at least one of the receiving boxes is formed at least in an upper region of wagon side walls, possibly in dependence on a relative position one above the other Receiving boxes in the case of the mentioned height adjustment.

To save construction length of the wagon or optimally in terms of Exploit material storage or / and with regard to a possible low center of gravity of the wagon is suggested that drive equipment to drive the material handling equipment and transfer facilities at least partly in a lower part of the wagon are arranged in the type of underfloor power units.

The conveyor and silo wagon may have a surveillance installation for monitoring the receiving boxes or / and their material handling equipment and / or the associated transfer devices Basis of output by a sensor array measurement signals and / or based on output from a video camera assembly Video signals, the monitoring installation preferably a Plurality of video cameras associated with locations to be monitored includes. Such a monitoring installation allows a reliable Monitoring even if in the case of the one above the other arranged receiving boxes a direct insight into the receiving boxes or on relevant jobs is not so easy.

The wagon may have a driver's cab and an associated, be connected to the wagon external cab. in the Trap of the mentioned surveillance installation can the cab receive the measuring signals or video signals. From a central driver's cab can be several conveyors and silo wagons and possibly others Facilities, such as a track handling facility on a track-handling train, synchronously monitor and control.

As already mentioned, the invention also relates to a transport train for bulk material. According to the invention it is proposed that this at least one, preferably at least two conveyor and silo wagons.

It is especially thought that the transport train in a train of wagons at least two immediately adjacent conveyor and silo wagons according to the invention, and that between these wagons by means of transfer devices material or materials at least in one direction along the train of wagons are conveyed, between associated receiving boxes of the relevant conveyor and silo wagons.

The transfer devices can advantageously be designed as endless conveyors which are of a material receiving level relative to one each associated receiving box one of the conveyor and silo wagons about the highest filling level of the assigned receiving box one other, immediately adjacent conveyor and silo wagons rise.

The transport train may further comprise at least one, preferably several rail-mounted conveyor and silo wagons for conveying and storing Have bulk material, with only a wagon-own receiving box, the is suitable for storing bulk material and in a floor area a has wagon-own material conveyor, wherein at least over a bulk goods receiving area from one end of the wagon bulk material in the recording box is entered, entered in the first recording box Bulk material by means of the material conveyor along the conveying and silo wagon is transportable towards the other end of the wagon and at least one transfer device bulk material at the other Carriage end can be dispensed from the receiving box, possibly in a bulk goods receiving area an associated further conveyor and silo wagon corresponding type or in an associated bulk-receiving area an associated further conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes, possibly under the mediation of a separate Material transfer arrangement.

It is especially designed for a track treatment train Transport train thought that at least one rail-track maintenance facility having. The track handling device, for example a so-called tarmac improvement machine has at least one Material receiving device and / or at least one material delivery device on. The material receiving device is preferably as an excavating device executed and possibly includes several Teilaushubeinrichtungen, preferably in the form of the track grid entwining Aushubketten.

Further, it is proposed that in the working direction in front of the track treatment device leading a first group of conveying and silo wagons and in the working direction behind the track treatment facility trailing arranged a second group of conveying and silo wagons is where the one group is for caching and on-demand Supply of track construction material or track building materials in the form of bulk material to the track treatment facility for use or installation one of the track treatment facility associated track construction site provided and the other group for caching and possibly at least partial removal from at one of the track treatment facility associated track construction site recorded track construction material or track building materials in the form of bulk material or after processing Bulk material is provided. In this connection it is preferred that the one group at least one, preferably several conveying and silo wagons each having a plurality of receiving boxes. Furthermore, can provided that the other group at least one, preferably several conveyor and silo wagons each with several receiving boxes having.

Concerning the one or / and the other group is proposed further training, that this additionally at least one conveyor and silo wagon with only one receiving box or at least one other material transport wagon or that one or / and the other Group at least one conveying and silo wagon with only one receiving box or at least one other material transport wagon assigned is. In particular, it is considered that the at least one and silo wagon with only one receiving box or the at least one another material transport wagon on the at least one conveyor and Silo wagon with several receptacles of the group concerned connected by means of a / the material transfer arrangement or connectable is to order from a conveyor and silo wagon with multiple receiving boxes from at least one of the receiving boxes material to or to a conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes To transfer material into at least one of the receiving boxes. As a rule, one gets an arrangement of the different wagons provide such that the at least one conveyor and silo wagon with only a receiving box or the at least one other material transport wagon opposite the at least one conveyor and silo waggons with several receiving boxes of the group in question from the track handling facility is arranged further away.

The transport train according to the invention or track treatment train can in Framework of a method for supplying a track construction site with track construction materials be used advantageously. For a corresponding procedure is proposed according to the invention that at least one material transport wagon is used, simultaneously or successively and in the If a larger or lasting material requirement is repeated at least two different track construction materials or track building material fractions (hereinafter called exclusively track construction materials) a terminal conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes of the train and that the track construction materials then separated from each other in a respective associated receiving box handed over this conveyor and silo wagon from one end of the wagon and in Zuglängsrichtung over at least one such Conveyor and silo wagon are transported away towards Track construction site, the track construction materials along a respective wagon through the material conveying device of a respective receiving box be promoted towards the other wagon end and possibly by then this end by the transfer device of the relevant Recording box in the reception area of an associated recording box an immediately adjacent further such conveyor and Silo wagons are handed over, and where the track construction materials in at least one of the conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes cached and according to the need for the respective track construction material in the direction of the track construction site become.

The inventive method allows the continuous and if necessary Supplying the track construction site with at least two materials or material fractions without much effort in terms of logistics and Material flows.

In the case of several consecutive production and silo wagons respectively with several recording boxes, it is useful for caching Track construction materials first one of the track construction site closer wagon to fill. Furthermore, it is about in terms of avoiding wear and for energy saving appropriate that for caching a track building material the material along the straight to be filled Conveying and silo wagon by means of the conveyor of the material receiving box is promoted more slowly than at least a preceding and / or as - after delivery from receiving box for onward transport towards the track construction site - at least a subsequent conveyor and silo wagon.

As Materialtransportwaggon a bucket transport wagon with several Material transport buckets or a conveyor and silo wagon with only one Recording box can be used or it can be used as a material transport wagon also a conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes according to the already mentioned conveyor and silo wagons be used.

An inventive transport train or track treatment train can It also benefits from a caching procedure and if necessary, removal of materials to or from a track construction site be used. For such a procedure, if necessary in combination or simultaneously to the treatment process discussed above a track construction site can be used with track construction materials, According to the invention, it is proposed that a plurality of different male and female or intermediately stored and possibly dissipated materials or material fractions (hereinafter referred to exclusively as materials) fed to a conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes and separated from each other in a respective associated receiving box handed over this conveyor and silo wagon from one end of the wagon and in this conveyor and silo wagon or in another Such conveyor and silo wagon, the former wagon is connected, cached. After that, then under Use of at least one material transport car to be discharged Material or materials to be removed weggetrportiert, wherein for transporting the at least one material from the material of Conveyor and silo wagon or one more remote from the track construction site Such conveyance and silo wagon from the remote from the track construction site Wagon end is handed over to the material transport wagon, im Trap several different materials simultaneously or sequentially and in the case of a larger or more prolonged material removal requirement, too repeated.

In the context of the invention, it is also possible that cached Material or cached materials from the conveyor and silo wagon if necessary, the track construction site be promoted again, for example to reinstall the material in question. Caching of the material and / or the cached Materials back to the track construction site may be a material treatment or / and material preparation, for example, by a integrated into the track treatment facility of the track maintenance train or this associated material treatment / processing device can be done.

Regarding the cached or cached Materials are especially thought of as these materials are excavated materials from the track construction site or from excavated material or Excavated materials obtained or separated from the track construction site become.

In the case of several consecutive production and silo wagons respectively with several recording boxes, it is useful for caching the materials first to a wagon to the track construction site to fill.

In intermediate storage, it is generally advantageous for caching of a material the material along the straight to be filled Conveying and silo wagons by means of the conveyor of the Material receiving receiving box is promoted slower than on at least one preceding conveyor and silo wagon.

As a material transport wagon can beispielswiese a bucket transport wagon with several transport boxes or a conveyor and silo wagon to be used with only one receiving box. It is also possible that as a material transport wagon also a conveyor and silo wagon is used with several receiving boxes.

As far as in the context of the method according to the invention a conveyor and silo wagon with several receiving boxes or more such wagons used, it is within the scope of the invention that in dependence if necessary, several of the arising requirements and boundary conditions or all receiving boxes the same material or the same material fractions record, for example, if for a particular material a particularly large storage capacity or delivery capacity required is.

The conveyor and silo wagon according to the invention, the inventive Transport or track treatment train and the method according to the invention according to the proposals of the abovementioned DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 be further developed, where it is the expert is readily possible, referring to wagons with only one Recording box related proposals of these writings on a Carriage to be transferred according to the invention with several receiving boxes. The documents DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 are by reference included in the disclosure of this application.

Concerning the conveyor and silo wagon invention is still on The following is pointed out. The respective bulk goods receiving range can be from be formed a special hopper. But it is also possible that just a close to the wagon end section of the receiving box serves as a bulk receiving area. The transfer facilities can be formed by transfer belts, both for emptying the receiving box at about a material delivery point as well as for transfer into an assigned receiving box of a connected serve other cars. For handing over the transfer tapes on a transfer hopper or edge of the respective receiving box of the connected wagon. The transfer tapes can be pivoted relative to the wagon, even in a track curve Transferring material from wagon to wagon. This should be the Bands have a minimum pivot range, which is made up of the minimum Radius of the track for which the wagon is approved. A Swiveling of 90 ° with respect to the wagon longitudinal axis allows, in the If necessary, also deliver material to the side next to the track.

Should wagons connected to each other be separated from each other, so the transfer belts, for example by means of a winch be lifted so that they lift off the transfer funnel or edge and possibly removed from a guide of a support of the transfer funnel can be. Preferably, the suspension is such Designed to withstand the load of the belts in the long run with free overhang can carry, so that the vehicle simply, for example with protective wagon, can be transferred. It can be provided lateral boundaries be that swinging over the normal workspace prevent it from happening.

In general, you will connect similar conveyance and silo wagons to each other, so that in the case of stacked receiving boxes the materials (apart from the transfer facilities, if applicable) respectively remain in the same conveying plane during transport along the wagons in the case of height-adjustable receptacles, at least if the same height setting is selected for the wagons. One can in the material transfer from one wagon to the next but quite also a change of the promotion level or a transfer between different ones Provide delivery levels, such as when wagons with different Height settings for the recording boxes follow one another or various wagons connected to each other according to the invention are.

A main area of application of the wagons according to the invention is the supply a track construction site or track treatment facility with track construction materials be. The vehicles can be advantageous but also for material disposal (for example, to take over excavated material and if necessary cleaned - gravel) in a separate recording and processing be used. In the case of both applications offers the Independent promotion of at least two materials in terms of the amount of material conveyed and the conveying speed significant productivity benefits.

Compared to the above-mentioned known conveyor and silo wagon with only one receiving box, it may be desired that the Total capacity of the wagon is increased, because now due to several Receiving boxes for the individual receiving box based on the length of the wagon a lower capacity is available. For this purpose can you extend the car body and thus the vehicle length accordingly (within the limits to be observed) and the number of Bogies and / or increase the number of bogies (in the context of observing provisions), which gives (about the number of axles) the permissible total weight of the wagon is determined. After deduction of the Dead weight results in the maximum payload, referring to the receiving boxes (in conjunction with a corresponding material conveyor possibly also marked as conveyor and silo bands).

It is particularly advantageous if the delivery and storage amount of the receiving boxes or conveyor and silo belts is variable, with the variability by changing the positioning of the receiving boxes or bands in Wagon can be done. In particular, to a height adjustment thought at least one of the receiving boxes. In use will be too in the case of principal variability, there is often a need for support or storage of different materials or material fractions in a specific relationship, which does not change in the short or medium term result. One then becomes a fixed position for the position variable Adjust the receiving box that meets the requirements. Independently a variability of the conveying or storage capacity of a respective Recording box you can also the funded amount of material thereby zoom in or out so that the conveying speed, if necessary Belt speed, the relevant material conveyor varies.

In a transport or track treatment train, the at least one or the plurality of conveying and silo wagons according to the invention the supply of a track construction site with materials, for example via an intermediate silo car loaded by means of one standing, possibly known Materialtransportsystem (for example, about Buckets or at least one conventional conveying and silo wagons according to the specifications DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2) becomes. The feed can be carried out both cyclically and anticyclically become. The number of conveying and silo wagons according to the invention in a transport train or track treatment train on the material supply side or on the material removal side referring to a track construction site or a track treatment device can according to the work performance the equipment of the track construction site assigned be.

On the feeder side (material supply side), the transfer of the or the track construction site next conveyor and silo wagon according to the invention directly into a suitable inlet funnel for further conveying directly into a built-in machine or the like. Another possibility is, the material or materials by means of other conveyor belts to promote the built-in device. Although every conveyor belt inherently comes one certain cache function, this is at usual, not for the Storage of larger quantities of material designed conveyor belts but only of a theoretical nature and can at most be very high in terms of quantity low material requirements have a practical relevance.

Especially if material recycling is realized on the construction site itself It may be that of one needed at the construction site Material type only little material or even no material needed whereas, accordingly, it comes from a different type of material larger quantities must be supplied externally. In this case can an inventive conveyor and silo wagon are used in such a way that by means of several of its receiving boxes, possibly by means of all his Recording boxes the same material cached and if necessary is supplied. For this purpose, a terminal conveyor and silo wagon be loaded with the material such that a material type of a material handling system used with the involvement of a movable intermediate belt and / or a distribution chute in the respective Receiving boxes is passed, either simultaneously for several or all of the affected reception boxes or one after the other for those affected Container boxes.

According to the above, an inventive conveyor and silo wagon two or more receiving boxes with a respective material conveyor exhibit. The receiving boxes together with the associated material conveyor Can also be used as material handling and silo facilities be designated and, as explained, at different levels of the Waggons be arranged and suitable transfer belts, entry funnel and the like. In many situations you will total with two receiving boxes, so to speak, a standard version of the wagon has exactly two receiving boxes. One can Provide that the wagon to another receiving box with associated Material conveyor is expandable (retrofit) is.

An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the lowest Take-up box (the lowest conveyor and silo belt) with the wagon construction (about a wagon frame) is firmly connected to and a wagon end over an inlet funnel and at the other end over a pivotable conveyor or transfer belt has its pivoting range possibly limited to the curve of a train. This tape is in working position, for example, on a roll on associated inlet funnel of an associated receiving box a in Transport direction leading to further conveyor and silo wagons on and promotes material in this receiving box.

At least one other receiving box is above the lowermost receiving box arranged, preferably vertically adjustable opposite the wagon frame and thus opposite the lowest receiving box. Otherwise, the at least one above the lowest Receiving box arranged receiving box as the bottom receiving box be executed and for example on inlet funnel and Transfer belt. By the vertically movable arrangement, d. H. Due to the changeability of the conveyor and silo levels, the storage capacity can the individual recording boxes are affected, as already was executed.

An inventive conveyor and silo wagon allows in contrast to the known conveyor and silo wagon that at least two different Materials can be added or removed, in the If necessary, by means of the receiving boxes only one type of material with correspondingly increased conveying and buffering capacity or can be carried away.

For example, in connection with a construction site near work or treatment of materials taken on site can it be very advantageous when opposing conveying directions for different Materials or material fractions via one or more conveyor and Silo wagons are possible.

From the above it follows that the conveyor and Silo wagon compared to the conventional conveyor and silo wagon offers additional functionalities and a variety of additional applications opened.

It is thought, for example, at least one invention Wagon in the field of overburden conveyance for separate loading of excavated material such as ballast (track bedding) and substructure material too use.

Another possibility is to use at least one conveying and silo wagon in the field of ballast cleaning and to use Bedding residues and excess ballast from a ballast cleaning machine conveying off.

Of particular interest is the use of at least one invention Conveyor and silo wagons during total excavation of a track bed and at the ballast recovery.

The area of application "material supply" has already been sufficiently addressed. It is in particular the use of at least one, preferably several inventive conveyor and silo wagons in connection with track handling equipment, such as planning improvement machines, or sand sanitation appliances. By means of at least one Conveyor and silo waggons according to the invention can also individual construction sites cost-effective with several required there materials or material fractions be supplied.

It comes into consideration, at least one conveyor and Silo waggon for direct material supply, for example to bring in required materials to a track treatment train to use. Furthermore, at least one conveying and silo wagon according to the invention as a material buffer for continuous and on-demand material supply the track construction site or the installation sites are used. The required Material can be advantageously produced using conventional conveying and silo wagons or other transport wagons on the as a material buffer serving at least one conveying and silo wagon according to the invention be brought. It will be in this context, for example to the supply and storage of antifreeze (FSS) and Protective coating material (PSS) and / or bedding materials (such as gravel) or - in connection with the production of "fixed carriageways" - Antifreeze material (FSS) and material for hydraulically bound or unbonded base layers (HGT or UGT) thought. To the transfer of the required material or the required materials of one of these from a storage or delivery point moving transport wagon in a conveyor and silo wagon according to the invention, for example, a track adapter device (adapter wagon) are used, which the loading of the various receiving boxes or loading levels Material types separately, for example from a conventional conveyor and silo wagon or for example from a bucket transport wagon by means of a gantry crane.

• Bedarfsweiser (je nach gewünschter Materialmenge) und voneinander unabhängiger (getrennter) Abruf von gespeicherten Materialien über die Übergabeeinrichtungen (ggf. Übergabebänder) zur Versorgung einer jeweiligen Einbaustelle.
• Getrennte Zuführung von Materialien von einem von der Baustelle entfernter liegenden Förder- und Silo-Waggon zu einem näher liegenden Förder- und Silo-Waggon, um diesen nachzufüllen, bzw. zur Durchförderung von Materialien bis zur Gleisbaustelle; ggf. so lange, bis alle Aufnahmekästen (Speicherbänder) entleert oder nur einer oder mehrere, nicht aber alle Aufnahmekästen (Speicherbänder) entleert sind (Zustand der Teilentleerung). Im Falle einer zuverlässigen Materialbedarfprognose bzw. einer einigermaßen exakten Ermittlung des Materialbedarfs bzw. Materialverbrauchs kann eine solche Teilentleerung durch Variation der Speicherkapazität der Aufnahmekästen (Speicherbänder) vermieden werden.

In practice, one will always provide a separate control of the individual receiving boxes and their material handling equipment and the associated transfer devices in terms of conveying speed, operation (on or off) and possibly conveying direction. This results, for example, in the following ways:

• According to requirements (depending on the desired quantity of material) and independent (separate) retrieval of stored materials via the transfer devices (if necessary transfer belts) to supply a respective installation point.
• Separate feeding of materials from a conveyor and silo wagon, which is farther away from the construction site, to a closer conveyor and silo wagon to refill it, or for conveying materials through to the track construction site; if necessary, until all receiving boxes (storage tapes) empty or only one or more, but not all receiving boxes (storage tapes) are emptied (state of partial emptying). In the case of a reliable material requirement forecast or a reasonably accurate determination of the material requirement or material consumption, such partial emptying can be avoided by varying the storage capacity of the receiving boxes (storage tapes).

Is a recording box or all recording boxes are emptied, the concerned or the respective receiving boxes by conveying and storing are refilled, where appropriate, the first in the conveying direction Take-up box of a chain of receiving boxes connected to each other serves as a silo storage and is filled until the capacity is exhausted or arranged in the conveying direction before receiving box is completely emptied, so that then this receiving box as a silo storage can be used.

Particularly advantageous may be a conveyor and silo wagon according to the invention or can conveyor and silo waggons according to the invention in connection with a track bed rehabilitation or plumbing improvement by means of a Track treatment train be set. Here, a track treatment device be used with one or more Aushubketten.

In the case of only one chain this takes in a chain section the entire Excavation material (gravel and earth materials / substructure) on, and the recorded Material is discharged via conveyor belts and in the state of Technology, for example, with the conventional conveyor and silo wagons brought to a processing station and there to fractions such as gravel, Substructure material and overburden separated and for reuse worked up.

By the upstream connection of a further excavation chain in the working direction the first mentioned excavation chain, the entire gravel area of the Track taken and by means of conveyor belts to a near-site, For example, in a track treatment device integrated crusher / screen transported, with the recycled ballast to the built-in part promoted and installed there. Residues of the screen can after a conventional approach as well as surplus ballast the Abraumband fed to the first-mentioned excavation chain and then together be loaded with the excavated material of the first chain for removal, For example, on a conventional conveyor and silo wagon. Another processing of the residues of the crusher / screen is then not possible or only with great effort.

By using at least one conveying and silo wagon according to the invention can be picked up by the two excavation chains Materials, such as the gravel, on the one hand, and the other excavated material, such as earthworks / subsoil materials, on the other hand, loaded separately from each other and to a reworking be converted there for processing, creating a simple Reuse the crusher remnants and sump material is possible.

Is an integrated or affiliated with the track maintenance facility Crushing and screening provided so it can during the workup accumulating material separately in at least one invention Loading and silo wagon loaded and further processing be supplied. Surplus gravel can in at least one invention Conveyor and silo wagon loaded, stored and on Polling, if necessary, in the material cycle of a track treatment facility to be led back. Another possibility is the saved one Reload gravel at a transfer point for further use. Corresponding possibilities arise when using inventive Conveyor and silo wagons in connection with ballast cleaning and other excavating machines.

Fig. 1 shows a trained as a conveyor and silo wagon railroad car 10, which in terms of its cross-sectional dimensions a predetermined Border profile 12 is sufficient. The wagon 10 has a vehicle frame 14 with Wagon side walls 16 on. The wagon frame 14 is on itself known manner on a plurality of bogies 18 each stored with several axles.

In a lower wagon area 20 are in the type of low-floor aggregates various drive devices for to be described below Material conveying, storage and transfer facilities arranged.

Above the lower wagon area is a material receptacle 24 held stationary in the vehicle frame 14, which has a bottom 26 and side walls 28 and together with a to the side walls 28th top subsequent section 30 of the side walls 16 a receiving box forms for bulk material. A bulk material level is exemplary indicated by the dashed line 32.

The bottom 26 of the receptacle has a known type and Way an upper strand of an endless conveyor belt, such as a scale belt, on, by means of which recorded in the receiving box 40 Material in carriage longitudinal direction can be promoted.

Above the receiving box 40, which is also referred to below as "lower receiving box" is called, is another ("upper") recording box 42, which also has a receptacle 44 with a bottom 46th and sidewalls 48. The upper receiving box 42 may also Pick up bulk material; a corresponding level is through the dashed line 50 indicated by way of example.

The bottom 46 of the upper receptacle 44 has corresponding Way an upper strand of a conveyor belt, such as a scale belt, on, for the promotion of the bulk material in wagon longitudinal direction serves.

The upper receptacle 44 is not stationary in the vehicle frame 14 arranged, but by an adjusting mechanism, not shown Hydraulic base height adjustable. Lower the upper receptacle 44 from, so increases the above the tub bottom 46 for storing material available space with appropriate reduction of above the tub bottom 26 of the lower receptacle 24 for storing material available space and vice versa. By height adjustment the upper receptacle so the material storage capacities of the upper and lower receiving boxes 40 and 42 be adjusted in opposite directions, which is a recording capacity enlarged and the other recording capacity is reduced.

It is assumed that in Fig. 1 concerning the upper receptacle 44 whose uppermost position in the vehicle frame 14 is shown. If you lower the receptacle 44, so can bulk over the level the upper edges of the well side walls 48 are heaped up, since side of the side walls 48 wagon stationary boundary walls 52nd are provided, in relation to FIG. 1 deeper adjustment positions the upper receptacle 44 whose side walls 48 up to a certain extent extend and together with the tub sides 48 the receiving box 42 laterally limit.

The upper receptacle 44 is together with a the tub supporting Intermediate frame 54 height-adjusted. The deepest adjustment position of upper receptacle 44 is through the upper edges of the side walls 28 of the lower receptacle 24 determined. The lower receiving box 40 then becomes substantially laterally only through the side walls 28 limited as a filling of the receiving box 40 above the level of upper edges of the side walls 28 in the lowest adjustment position of the upper receptacle to a significant extent no longer possible is.

In Fig. 1 it can be seen that relative to the boundary profile 12 above of transverse stiffening elements 60 of the vehicle frame 14 is still room. In this area, the upper end of a transfer and loading conveyor belt be arranged for the material transfer or filling of the upper receiving box 42 is used.

The conveying speed of the tub floor 26 associated conveyor belt on the one hand and the tub bottom 46 associated conveyor belt On the other hand, they are adjustable and independently adjustable. The conveyor belts can also be switched on and off independently of each other. As a rule, the belts are with the same conveying direction operate. But it can be useful for some situations if opposing conveying directions are provided or are adjustable.

The receiving boxes and their conveyor belts can each other independently according to the teaching of the patents DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 optionally for storage and promotion of Materials, in particular of different materials used become. It is also possible to use a storage box with its conveyor belt (which can also be called together as a conveyor and silo band) for storing material and the other receiving box with his Conveyor belt (collectively also referred to as conveyor and silo belt) for To use material promotion. The conveyor and silo belts can be used for Parallel feed and simultaneous storage or for parallel removal and simultaneous storage of materials and material fractions be used. For example, gravel and sand can be paralleled to a track construction site.

Fig. 2 shows a side view of a chain of conveying and silo wagons of the type shown in FIG. 1. Waggons 10a, 10b and 10c can be seen, each a lower receiving box 40a or 40b and 40c and an upper receiving box 42a, 42b and 42c, respectively. The Receiving boxes are over a wagon end projecting transfer conveyor 70 and 72 with each other in the sense of a transfer of bulk material from wagon to wagon connected in a conveying direction F, namely the lower receiving box 40a via the transfer conveyor 70a with the lower receiving box 40b and this over the Transfer conveyor 70b with the lower receiving box 40c, and the upper receiving box 42a via the transfer conveyor 42a with the upper Receiving box 42b and the upper receiving box 42b on the Transfer conveyor 72b with the upper receiving box 42c. The transfer conveyor each extend from a lower material transfer level approximately obliquely according to the level of the respective trough floor upwards over the maximum possible filling level of the receiving boxes. The Transfer conveyors can each be on a material input hopper or the like of the connected receiving box rest. The lower receiving boxes are opposite the upper receiving boxes slightly offset relative to the conveying direction F, so that an end region of the respective lower receiving box, possibly a material introduction funnel not up through the respective upper receiving box is covered and so accessible for the supply of material.

The transfer conveyors are preferably corresponding to relevant track curves laterally swiveling, in order to also in a track curve material of To hand over the waggon to the wagon. Furthermore, the transfer conveyor preferably in a vertical plane at least in a certain Extend to pivot from the Materialeinführtrichtern or receiving tub edges of the leading in the conveying direction F cars to be able to take off. For this purpose, a winch or the like may be provided be.

Fig. 3 shows a corresponding chain of conveying and silo waggons 10a to 10f each with an upper and a lower receiving box. For the respective receiving boxes is the recorded therein or therein conveyed bulk material indicated. The trailing in the conveying direction F shown carriage 10 'is in a forward direction in the conveying direction F as formed the conveyor and silo wagons and has in particular transfer conveyor of the type described. In a conveying direction F rear Area has this wagon material transfer funnels and transfer belts on, via the transfer conveyor a material feed from each other independently in the chain of the upper receiving boxes and in the Enable chain of lower receiving boxes. The wagon 10 'can as Adapter or transfer carriage are called and allows, for example the material supply from bucket of bucket transport wagons or from a conventional conveyor and silo wagon with only a receiving box, for example according to the cited patents DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 or the proven Type MFS 40 (System Plasser - Knape) or successor types.

In the chain shown in Fig. 3, the car 10d is currently being emptied, by passing over its transfer conveyor material to the assigned receiving boxes of the leading in the conveying direction F waggons 10e passed becomes. The amount of material stored in the wagon 10e remains constant, since for each receiving boxes each one of the supplied amount of material appropriate amount of material via the transfer conveyor in the Receiving boxes of the car 10f is handed over. The reception boxes These wagons do not store significant amounts of material, as the Emerging material on the wagon across conveying direction F further becomes.

The wagon 10c currently contains no material and does not convey any material from the wagon 10b to the wagon 10d. Wagon 10b is currently over the only serving to promote carriage 10a filled with material, which the adapter wagon 10 'is supplied. Depending on which means of transport supplied to the adapter car 10 'material or materials can, the receiving boxes of the car 10 b simultaneously or successively or alternately filled with material, for example Gravel and sand to get out of the chain of wagons a track construction site to be able to supply.

For example, at a later date, such a situation may arise result that the wagon 10d and the wagon 10e substantially are emptied. These wagons can then be removed from the wagon 10b can be refilled out or it can track the track site immediately from the car 10b over the cars 10c, 10d, 10e and 10f be supplied with materials. One can have a continuous loading and unloading Implement discharge cycle, which is constantly for a sufficient supply of material ensures, so that continuously the required materials of the track construction site can be supplied.

The statements made here apply in a similar way to the removal of different materials from a track construction site. In this case could the adapter wagon 10 ', for example, from a track treatment device with materials, for example two different excavating materials (such as gravel material and substructure material). The conveying direction F can in both cases, ie both for the supply of material as well as for the material removal, the working direction of a track treatment train or a track treatment device (i.e., the direction of travel a migratory track construction site).

Fig. 4 shows an example of a track treatment train as mentioned. 80 denotes a track handling device moving in a working direction A, for example, a so-called tarmac improvement machine, which has a Aushubkette 82. Highlighted material (here For example, gravel and earth construction materials or substructure material together) is conveyed via conveyors 84 to a conventional conveyor and silo wagon 11, which serves for material removal and For example, in a working direction A corresponding conveying direction F trailing wagon of a chain of similar transport wagons each with a recording box. The material removal can be done accordingly the teaching of the patents DE 32 19 025 C2 and EP 0 096 236 B2 done.

The track handling device 80 is made of two as a buffer serving conveyor and silo waggons 10a and 10b invention with two different materials or material fractions as needed supplied, over several intermediate cars 90, 92 away, the elevated conveyor belts 94 and possibly one or more transfer chutes 96, for example for gravel material exhibit. The intermediate wagon 92 has in the embodiment shown a known stuffing device on. The wagon 90 can be used as a carrier for drive devices, Engines, hydraulic pumps, generators, etc. serve.

The serving as a temporary storage cars 10 a and 10 b are about an adapter carriage 10 'with the materials required at the track construction site replenished. For this purpose, conventional conveyor and silo wagons 11a, 11b and 11c are used. Another, shown in Fig. 5 Possibility is to connect the two chains from each other Receiving boxes for - if necessary - two different materials or Material fractions by bucket transport wagons 100a, 1 00b and 1 00c to supply, each having a plurality of transport buckets 102. For emptying the bucket in material feed hopper or the like Adapter wagons 10 'can gantry cranes in a known manner 104 are used, of which at least one along the Chain of bucket transport wagons is movable. The buckets of the wagons can be loaded with different materials, so that means a wagon or by means of a chain of coiled cars simultaneously fed different materials the track treatment train can be.

If, according to FIG. 4, several conveying and silo wagons are used only one recording box, so these recording boxes can also be filled with different materials, in which case after emptying for example, the wagon 11c, for example, transported gravel here then, for example, in the lower chain of receiving boxes the wagons 10a and 10b was handed over below Car 11c from the car 11b another material, for example Sand, the upper chain of receiving boxes of wagons 10a and 10b is supplied.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment variant of the track treatment device 80 with two excavation chains 82a and 82b. The receiving chain 82b decreases For example, the ballast bedding and the receiving chain 82a decreases For example, the gravel substructure (such as earth materials) on. The of the Excavating chains recorded materials are separated Via conveyors 84a and conveyors 84b in a respective associated receiving box 40g and 42g of a conveyor and silo wagon Pass 10g, the one in the direction of or conveying direction A Trailing wagon of a chain of wagons of appropriate design is. The thus a chain of lower receiving boxes supplied gravel and the Unterbauaushub thus supplied to a chain of upper receiving boxes For example, in a continuous loading and unloading cycle be transported away from the track construction site according to FIG. It is also possible for the track treatment device 80 to have a material processing device equip or a separate material processing wagon, for instance between the rail treatment device 80 and the chain of silo and freight cars, provide to the excavation at least one of the conveyor chains for fractions or component materials to separate and / or work up and so on material or materials or to recover material fractions that reused at the track construction site so that, accordingly, less new Material from the feed side (wagons 10 a and 10 b) are supplied got to.

Regarding the transfer of materials into the chain of receiving boxes by means of the adapter wagon 10 'according to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is still to mention that the adapter car advantageous with a movable Pickup tape is made so as to have material either in the top chain from feeding boxes or into the chain of lower receiving boxes. Should the lower and upper receiving boxes the same Material can be supplied, so for example by means of a distribution chute or the like, the adapter wagon 10 'supplied material be distributed to the upper and lower chain of receiving boxes, so that they are supplied simultaneously with the same material.

It has been mentioned above, for example, in the upper chain of Pick boxes crumbly and in the bottom chain of pick-up boxes Sand (PSS material) is fed. Instead, it goes without saying also possible to place the ballast in the top chain of reception boxes and to feed the sand into the lower chain of receiving boxes, anyway then, if preferred, the upper and lower receiving boxes in each case for the inclusion of all in connection with track construction work required or excavated materials are suitable.

What related above on the basis of conveyance and silo wagons was explained with two stacked receiving boxes, leaves easily on conveyance and silo wagons with more than two receiving boxes, For example, three receiving boxes, extrapolate. Let it There are three different materials or material fractions from each other independently and according to the needs of the track construction site or can three materials or material fractions from each other independently and separately from the track construction site dissipated or cached become. Regarding the supply of materials one can For example, remember sand, gravel of a first grain and Gravel of a second grain different from the first grain separately, but to feed simultaneously. Another possibility is to feed sand, earth material and gravel in this way in parallel. Further applications are familiar to those with track construction Professional immediately without much thought.

Conveying and silo waggons according to the invention can advantageously be used in conjunction be used with procedures and facilities, as they are in European patent applications filed concurrently with this application the applicant are described. It is in this regard on the Registration "Procedure for supplying a construction site with building materials and associated transport or conveyor chain, as well as applicable Classifying and fractionating device "and the registration" procedure for material preparation and / or material washing or / and clay precipitation concerning bulk material in particular in connection with construction work on a line construction site and appropriate railways or road-going plant ".
