Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Reinigung von Schotter.The invention relates to a cleaning machine for cleaning a gravel bedding of a track, consisting of a movable on rail chassis on the track machine frame and two in the machine longitudinal direction, endless and each enclosing the track, height and side adjustable by drives clearing chains for receiving ballast from the ballast bed, and with conveyors for gravel transport, a screen for gravel cleaning, a conveyor for the reintroduction of cleaned ballast and associated with the machine frame track lifting devices. The invention also relates to a method for cleaning ballast.

Eine derartige Reinigungsmaschine ist bereits durch DE 43 43 148 A1, FR 1 029 167 und DD 240 043 A1 bekannt. Diese Maschine besteht aus einem gleisverfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen, zwischen dessen endseitigen Schienenfahrwerken zwei Räumketten unmittelbar hintereinander angeordnet sind. Die Siebanlage befindet sich zwischen den beiden Räumketten. Während unter kontinuierlicher Maschinenvorfahrt mit der vorderen, ersten Räumkette Schotter der Siebanlage zugeführt wird, erfolgt durch die zweite Räumkette eine Entfernung von als Basis der Schotterbettung dienendem Erdreich. Dieses wird über eine Fördereinrichtung beispielsweise auf nachfolgende Speicherwagen abgeworfen. Vor Abwurf des gereinigten Schotters erfolgt die Einbringung von Sand zur Herstellung einer Planumschutzschichte.Such a cleaning machine is already known from DE 43 43 148 A1, FR 1 029 167 and DD 240 043 A1. This machine consists of a track-movable machine frame, between whose end-side rail chassis two Räumketten are arranged directly behind each other. The screening plant is located between the two clearing chains. While gravel is fed to the screening plant under continuous machine precedence with the front, first clearing chain, a removal of soil serving as the basis of the ballast bed is carried out by the second clearing chain. This is dropped over a conveyor, for example, on subsequent storage cars. Before discharge of the cleaned ballast, the sand is introduced for the production of a layer protection layer.

Durch FR 714 645 ist die Anordnung von vier endlosen Eimerketten bekannt, mit denen Schotter hochgefördert und einer Siebanlage zugeführt wird.FR 714 645 discloses the arrangement of four endless bucket bricks with which ballast is fed up and fed to a screening plant.

Eine weitere Maschine zur Untergrundsanierung ist auch noch durch EP 0 629 744 B1 bekannt. Die durch die erste Räumkette entfernte Schotterschichte wird in einem Steinbrecher zerkleinert, zur Herstellung einer Planumschutzschichte auf das Gleis abgeworfen und verdichtet. Mit der auf einem zweiten Maschinenrahmen angeordneten zweiten Räumkette erfolgt ein Aushub von Erdreich, das durch die Planumschutzschichte ersetzt wird. Danach erfolgt die Ablage des Gleises. In einem weiteren Arbeitsvorgang wird neuer Schotter zur Herstellung einer Schotterbettung eingebracht.Another machine for underground remediation is also known from EP 0 629 744 B1. The gravel layer removed by the first clearing chain is crushed in a rock crusher, dropped on the track and compacted to produce a surface protection layer. With the arranged on a second machine frame second clearing chain excavated soil, which is replaced by the Planumschutzschichte. Thereafter, the storage of the track. In another operation, new ballast is introduced for the production of a ballast bedding.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Schotterreinigungsmaschine der gattungsgemäßen Art, mit der eine Erhöhung der Reinigungsleistung erzielbar ist.The object of the present invention is now to provide a ballast cleaning machine of the generic type, with which an increase in the cleaning performance can be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, die mit den im Hauptanspruch angeführten Erfindungsmerkmalen ausgestattet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved with a machine of the type mentioned, which is equipped with the listed in the main claim invention features.

Durch diese konstruktive Lösung ist einerseits zwar eine kurzzeitige Ablage des Gleises für die Maschinenabstützung erforderlich, andererseits kann damit aber die Reinigungsleistung unter Vermeidung hoher Konstruktionsaufwendungen wesentlich gesteigert werden. Hohe Konstruktionsaufwendungen wären im Falle der Anordnung beider Räumketten auf einem gemeinsamen Maschinenrahmen insoferne erforderlich, als der Abstand der beiden endseitigen Schienenfahrwerke zueinander sehr groß sein müßte, um eine entsprechende zulässige Beweglichkeit des Gleises zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grunde wurde bisher zum Zwecke der Leistungssteigerung bevorzugt die Kapazität der Siebanlage und der Räumkette erhöht. Durch die Flankenverdichter kann die Gleislage während der kurzeitigen Gleisablage sicherheitshalber stabilisiert werden, sodaß ein problemloses Überfahren durch die zwischen den beiden Räumketten befindlichen Schienenfahrwerke gewährleistet ist.Although this design solution on the one hand a short-term storage of the track for the machine support is required, but on the other hand it can be significantly increased while avoiding high construction costs, the cleaning performance. High construction costs would be required in the case of the arrangement of both Räumketten on a common machine frame in so far as the distance between the two end rail bogies would have to be very large to each other to ensure a corresponding allowable mobility of the track. For this reason, the capacity of the screening plant and the clearing chain has been increased so far preferably for the purpose of performance. By flank compressor, the track position during the kurzeitigen track restraint can be stabilized for safety, so that a trouble driving over is ensured by the located between the two Räumketten rail bogies.

Weitere Vorteile und Ausbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Ansprüchen.Further advantages and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the other claims.
