Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the other use of tracks.
  • tracks of various kinds have been permanently or temporarily shut down.
  • the decommissioning affects industrial track systems as well as track systems, which were previously used for passenger and / or freight traffic.
  • tram lines were shut down.
  • the tram lines concerned drove on their own routes, these were partially converted in extensive work to bus routes.
  • the tracks along with the sleepers and the ballast must be removed.
  • a road surface is usually applied and then a conventional road surface.
  • the conversion of a previous track to, for example, a bus route is relatively complicated and expensive.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cost-effective alternative for retrofitting completely or temporarily disused track systems for other uses. This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • set-aside track systems have the required load-bearing capacity for the rail vehicles that have been running on them at the time of their decommissioning.
  • the steel wheels of rail vehicles have only a very small bearing surface on the rail, which ultimately amounts to almost a punctiform load on the rail.
  • this punctiform load is distributed by the stiffness of the rails over several thresholds, but metal rails have a higher elasticity than, for example, concrete slabs.
  • the method according to the invention consists in that on the tread of disused tracks finished parts for a subsequent be used elsewhere. This other use may be another means of transport. However, it is also conceivable to use the rails for piping systems or message or energy carriers, such as pylons.
  • these finished parts can be, for example, plate-shaped precast concrete parts. If these concrete slabs have a flat surface, then they can be used as a roadway for wheeled vehicles. If these precast parts protrude beyond the thresholds and fully cover them, they provide weather protection for the sleepers. Due to the rail height above the threshold creates a cavity, so that especially from the side penetrating moisture can dry out again. In accordance with the invention, the (concrete) finished parts could Wasserabloomrinnen have, so that a targeted discharge of the surface water is possible.
  • a profiled embodiment of the precast concrete parts allows the use of other means of transport, such as a maglev train.
  • the finished parts do not have to be made of concrete.
  • these components can also consist of boards, so that a screed path is created.
  • the finished parts can also consist of a steel, preferably a steel profile construction.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic web dam (1).
  • a threshold (2) On the railway embankment (1) there is a threshold (2).
  • rails (3) On the threshold (2) rails (3) are mounted.
  • the rails (3) On the rails (3) is located as a finished part (20) has a plate (4).
  • the plate (4) is a concrete slab.
  • the plate 4 know on its bottom boundaries 28.
  • the boundaries 28 are arranged between the rails 3. It is obvious that the boundaries 28, however, can also be arranged to the left and to the right of the rails 3 (not shown).
  • the boundaries 28 serve to position the plate 4 relative to the rails 3.
  • rails 3 can also extend the boundaries 28 wholly or substantially as a whole over the longitudinal region of the plate 4.
  • the plate 4 As far as the rails 3 make a curve, it is advantageous to make the plate 4 so that only in the front and rear end portion of the plate 4 boundaries 28 in the form of blocks (not closer shown) are formed. This is how curves can be bridged.
  • the plates 4 must be designed trapezoidal (shown in detail in Figure 13).
  • Figure 2 also shows the railway embankment (1), the threshold (2) and the rail (3).
  • the finished part (20) the plate (41) has a phi-shaped cross-section. Legs of the phi-shaped cross section rest here on the rails (3). For straight stretches, the legs (29) may extend the full length of the plate (41). When guiding the rails (3) in curves, the legs (29) are to be reduced to block-shaped areas (explained in more detail in FIG. 1).
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of rails (3) with a finished part (20).
  • the finished part (20) consists of two bars (21).
  • the beams (21) are arranged parallel to the rails (3), so that there is a substantially positive connection between the rails (3) and the beam (21), which prevents lateral displacement of the finished part (20).
  • the beams (21) may be made of wood. However, it is also the use of other materials, such as hollow sections of metal, possible.
  • planks (22) are mounted on the beam (21) planks (22) are mounted. Several planks (22) in conjunction with the beams (21) yield a finished part (20). Over the entire length of the rails (3), a plurality of finished parts (20) (only one shown) are arranged one behind the other. This creates a boardwalk, which can be used as a hiking trail, for example.
  • the use of wood for the beams (21) has the advantage that in intersections or points areas of the rail (3) (not shown) recesses in the beams (21) can be produced in a simple manner. For this, the bars (21) in the relevant area only need to be sawn out.
  • Figure 4 also shows a cross section through a railway embankment (1), the threshold (2) and the rails (3).
  • the finished part (20), the plate (42) has a profiled cross-section.
  • Part of the plate is a maintenance path (5).
  • Another portion of the plate (42) is designed as a substructure (6) for a pipeline (7).
  • the pipe (7) may be a district heating pipe, a water supply pipe, an oil or gas pipeline or a pipe for other use by a gaseous or liquid substance.
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a further embodiment according to FIG. 4.
  • the substructure (6) for the pipeline does not have to extend over the entire length of the plate (42).
  • the substructure (6) is designed in the form of one (or more) short blocks.
  • FIG. 6 shows a modification of an embodiment according to FIG. 3.
  • an A-block-shaped support element (8) is provided on the rails (3) as a finished part (20).
  • the support element (8) is advantageously a steel (profile) construction. However, it is also a wooden construction conceivable.
  • the support element (8) can also be arranged on a plate (44).
  • the plate (44) may be made of concrete or steel as described in the previous embodiments.
  • the support element (8) receives the pipe (7).
  • FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment with a railway embankment (1), the threshold (2) and the rails (3).
  • a mast (9) is arranged on the rails (3) as a finished part (20).
  • it is a lattice mast (9) as a power line mast. It is obvious that instead of a power line towers and a telephone line mast can be attached.
  • FIG. 8 shows a modification of an embodiment according to FIG. 7.
  • a mobile radio transmitter branch (23) is arranged on a plate (43).
  • the finished part (20) (not numbered in Figure 8) consist only of the plate (43) or from the plate (43) with the pre-assembled transmission mast (23).
  • the load capacity of the rails (3) is used as a foundation for the transmission mast (23).
  • the power supply of such transmission towers and / or their line connection to a connection point via ground cable is provided.
  • an outdoor cabling as shown in more detail in Figure 8, are provided.
  • the plate (4, 41, 42, 43, 44) according to the aforementioned embodiments can be connected by a (not shown) clamping element in accordance with the invention with the rail (3).
  • Figure 9 shows a clamping device for a finished part (20) (in this embodiment, a plate (4)) in the form of an exploded view.
  • the plate (4) is a through hole (10).
  • the through hole (10) is a bush (11) made of metal.
  • the plate (4) is made of metal, can on this Socket (11) are omitted in accordance with the invention.
  • the clamping element is a rotary element (12).
  • the rotary element (12) consists of a head (13), a shaft (14) and an eccentric disc (15).
  • the head (13) is formed as a square, so that commercially available tools, such as those used for the screwing of rails, can be used. By a rotational movement of the head (13) moves over the shaft (14) and the eccentric disc (15) so that it jammed on the rail (3).
  • a plurality of rotary elements (12) can also be arranged on a plate (4), preferably at least one per rail (3). It is conceivable that two rotary elements (12) are arranged side by side in such a way that their eccentric discs (15) opposite of left and right on the rail (3) access (not shown in detail). However, it is also advantageous if, in parallel to the sleepers of the rails (3), at least one rotary element (12) each accesses one rail (3).
  • the rotary element (12) can be arranged in the through hole (10) and a ground anchor (19).
  • the ground anchor (19) may be an iron rod, which is preferably sharpened in the lower region.
  • To fix the plate (4) of the ground anchor (19) must be rammed only in the ground, so that it is still in the through hole (10) with its upper end. It is obvious that in place of the ground anchor (19) and a ground screw (not shown in detail) can be used.
  • FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of a fastening element.
  • a (schematically shown) mounting plate (16) is embedded in the plate (4) .
  • a thread (not detailed ) Shown in the mounting plate (16) is a thread (not detailed ) Shown. By means of this thread, a screw (17) relative to the rail (3) is clamped. If appropriate fasteners are arranged on both rails, it would require no abutment. In an alternative way, however, it makes sense if in such embodiments, the plate (4) has an abutment (18).
  • Figure 11 shows a cross section through the joint area of two adjacent plates (4, 41, 42, 43, 44) (numbered in Figure 11 only as a plate (4)).
  • the plate (4) has at its ends a tongue and groove profiling (24), so that two abutting plates can be positively connected to each other.
  • the tongue and groove profiling (24) has a trapezoidal cross-section to allow a better slipping of the plates (4). It is obvious that, however, a rectangular cross-section is possible.
  • the tongue and groove profiling (24) can also be designed according to the invention in such a way that a joint (25) also remains between the two plates (4) when the tongue and groove profiling (24) is fully inserted into one another ( FIG. 11 shows a continuous joint (25)).
  • the joint (25) may be potted with bitumen or other suitable filler (not shown).
  • a continuous road surface (26) can be applied to the plate (24) after assembly of the plates (4).
  • This continuous road surface (26) has the advantage that hereby possible joints, minor faults, steps and the like can be compensated, so that a continuous flat driveway or walkway is formed.
  • Figure 12 shows a modification of Figure 11.
  • the end portions (27) of the plates (4) are designed to overlap.
  • a road surface (26) can be applied.
  • Figure 13 shows schematically the application of the invention in track curves.
  • the plates (4, 42, 43, 44) - referred to in Figure 13 only as plates (4) - trapezoidal, so that they lined up the curve of the rails (3) follow.
  • the boundary (28) shown in Figure 1
