Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Ermittlung des Zustandes eines Schienenstranges gemäss der Definition der Patentansprüche.The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the state a rail track according to the definition of the claims.
Führungsschienen dienen der Führung von Gegenständen wie beispielsweise der Führung von Aufzugskabinen. In der Regel werden mehrere Führungsschienen zu einem Schienenstrang verbunden. Aufzugskabinen werden in der Regel an Seilen hängend gefördert und über Führungsräder entlang des Schienenstranges geführt. Dabei kommt der Geradheit des Schienenstranges Bedeutung zu, als dass davon der Fahrkomfort abhängt. Abweichungen von der Geradheit des Schienenstranges führen zu Erschütterungen in der Aufzugskabine. Gerade bei einem langen Schienenstrang sowie bei schnellen Aufzugskabinen, beispielsweise in hohen Häusern machen sich solche Erschütterungen stark bemerkbar und werden von den Fahrgästen als nachteilig wahrgenommen.Guide rails serve to guide objects such as the guide of elevator cabins. As a rule, several guide rails become one Rail track connected. Elevator cabs are usually hanging on ropes conveyed and guided over guide wheels along the rail track. Here comes the Straightness of the rail track importance, as it depends on the ride comfort. Deviations from the straightness of the rail track lead to shocks in the Elevator car. Especially with a long track and fast Elevator cabs, for example, in tall houses make such shocks strongly noticeable and are perceived by the passengers as disadvantageous.
Um die Geradheit des Schienenstranges im eingebauten Zustand zu ermitteln, wird oft von einem Lot, beispielsweise per Schnur bzw. per Laser, auf den Schienenstrang gemessen. Diese Messungen sind jedoch sehr zeitaufwendig. Aus diesem Grund reduziert man die Messpunkte in den meisten Fällen auf die Befestigungsstellen der Führungsschienen. Auch müssen solche Vermessungen in Zeiten durchgeführt werden, wo die Aufzugsanlage nicht benutzt werden, d.h. oft Nachts, welche Nachtarbeit mit Lohnzulagen erfordert und den Unterhalt der Aufzugsanlage verteuert. Hier wird eine Verbesserung angestrebt.To determine the straightness of the rail track in the installed state, is often used by a Lot, for example by cord or by laser, measured on the rail track. However, these measurements are very time consuming. Because of this, you reduce the Measuring points in most cases on the attachment points of the guide rails. Also Such measurements must be made in times where the elevator system is not be used, i. often at night, which requires night work with wage supplements and the Maintenance of the elevator system more expensive. Here, an improvement is sought.
Eine Lösung dafür wird in der Schrift EP 0 905 080 präsentiert. Gemäss diesem Verfahren werden Abweichungen von der Geradheit des Schienenstranges über mehrere, an einem länglichen Gehäuse befestigte Wegaufnehmer ermittelt. Daraufhin werden Grösse und Position der Abweichungen berechnet. Die Wegaufnehmer sind mechanischer- bzw. optischer Natur.A solution for this is presented in document EP 0 905 080. According to this procedure Deviations from the straightness of the rail track over several, at one elongated housing fixed displacement sensor determined. Then size and Calculated position of deviations. The transducers are mechanical or optical nature.
Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist der hohe Aufwand dieser Vorrichtung.A disadvantage of this solution is the high cost of this device.

Beispielsweise werden die Sender beliebig in einem Aufzugsschacht einer Aufzugsanlage verteilt und ortsfest fixiert. Vorteilhafterweise werden die Sender in möglichst grossen Winkelabständen zum Empfänger im Aufzugsschacht für eine Triangolation angeordnet. Vorteilhafterweise wird der Empfänger in einem konstanten Abstand bezüglich einer Führungsfläche des Schienenstranges bewegt.

Beispielsweise wird der Empfänger auf die Führungsfläche des eingebauten Schienenstranges aufgesetzt. Ähnlich einem GPS (Global Positioning System) senden die Sender Funksignale an den Empfänger.The present invention solves the problem with the help of three or more transmitters and a receiver to the position of the receiver with respect to a rail track determine. For example, the transmitters are arbitrarily in an elevator shaft one Elevator system distributed and fixed in place. Advantageously, the transmitters are in the largest possible angular distances to the receiver in the elevator shaft for a Triangolation arranged. Advantageously, the receiver is in a constant Distance moved relative to a guide surface of the rail track.

Positionen der Schachttüren, sobald der Empfänger deren Höhe im Aufzugsschacht passiert. Vorteilhafterweise ist ein Beschleunigungssensor zur Detektion von Beschleunigungskräften in der Aufzugskabine vorgesehen. Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt diese weitere Detektion gleichzeitig mit der Ermittlung der Position der Führungsfläche.In advantageous embodiments, additional sensors detect arbitrary locations such as rail fasteners, rail straps, Stockwerthalte or positions of Shaft doors as soon as the receiver passes their height in the elevator shaft.

Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt das Ausrichten des Schienenstranges im Aufzugsschacht in fünf
Verfahrensschritten:
Zu den einzelnen Verfahrensschritten: For the individual process steps:
In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt werden Führungsschienen FS hintereinander über die gesamte Hubstrecke der Aufzugskabine im Aufzugsschacht montiert. Die Führungsschienen FS sind beispielsweise T-Träger aus Stahl mit bekannten normierten Baumassen. Die Länge der Führungsschienen FS ist bekannt und beträgt beispielsweise 5 m. Höhe und Breite der Führungsschiene beträgt beispielsweise 88mm respektive 16mm. Gemäss Fig. 1 und 2 werden einzelne Führungsschienen FS über Verbindungslaschen VL miteinander zu einem Schienenstrang SS verbunden. Beispielsweise wird bei einer Erstmontage der Schienenstrang SS mittels Schienenbefestigungen SB beispielsweise mittels Schrauben an einer Schachtwand befestigt und provisorisch ausgerichtet.In a first method step guide rails FS are successively on the entire stroke of the elevator car mounted in the elevator shaft. The Guide rails FS are for example T-beams made of steel with known standardized Building masses. The length of the guide rails FS is known and is for example 5 m. Height and width of the guide rail is for example 88mm or 16mm. According to FIGS. 1 and 2, individual guide rails FS are connected via connecting links VL connected together to form a rail track SS. For example, at a Initial installation of the rail track SS by means of rail fasteners SB, for example fastened by screws to a shaft wall and aligned provisionally.
In einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt werden Sender S1, S2, S3 im Aufzugsschacht montiert.
Beliebige Sender, die Funksignale senden, lassen sich verwenden. Gemäss Fig. 1 ist ein
erster Sender S 1 in einem vorderen Bereich (Frontwand) an einem Boden des
Aufzugsschachtes fixiert, ein zweiter Sender S2 ist mittig in einem rechten Bereich
(Seitenwand) des Aufzugsschachtes fixiert, ein dritter Sender S3 ist in einem hinteren
Bereich (Rückwand) an einer Decke des Aufzugsschachtes fixiert. Vorteilhafterweise
werden die Sender S1, S2, S3 mit möglichst grossem Winkelabstand zueinander
angebracht. Vorteilhafterweise lassen sich bei grossen Hubhöhen bzw. Schachthöhen
mehrere Gruppen von Sendern S1, S2, S3 montieren. Beispielsweise werden mehrere
Dreiergruppen in Reihe hintereinander über die gesamte Schachthöhe angeordnet.
Ausgehend von einem Aufzugsschacht mit grosser Hubhöhe wird mit der Anordnung
mehrerer Teilgruppen von Sendern erreicht, dass die einzelnen Sender solcher Gruppen
einen grossen Winkelabstand zueinander einnehmen und so eine exakte Triangolation
innerhalb des Sendebereichs der jeweiligen Gruppe von Sendern sichergestellt ist. Der
Übergang von einer Sendergruppe auf die angrenzende Sendergruppe kann beispielsweise
durch ein vom Empfänger E aufgenommenes Hubhöhensignal markiert werden.
Beispielsweise wird das Hubhöhensignal vom Empfänger E mechanisch aufgenommen
bzw. von den Sendern S1, S2, S3, an den Empfänger E gesendet. Der erste und zweite
Verfahrensschritt beziehen sich auf die Montage der Vorrichtung zur Ermittlung des
Zustandes eines Schienenstranges können beispielsweise in beliebiger Reihenfolge bzw.
gleichzeitig durchgeführt werden. In a second method step, transmitters S1, S2, S3 are mounted in the elevator shaft.
Any stations that transmit radio signals can be used. According to Fig. 1 is a
Im dritten Verfahrensschritt wird zur Messung der Geradheit des Schienenstranges SS der Empfänger E entweder von Hand, durch Mitfahren auf einem Dach der Aufzugskabine und/oder aber durch Abseilen bzw. Hochziehen des Empfängers E entlang des Schienenstranges SS bewegt. Vorzugsweise, und um von aussen bedingte Messungenauigkeiten zu vermeiden, wird der Empfänger E kontrolliert und reproduzierbar bewegt und beispielsweise über eine Rollenführung entlang einer Führungsfläche FF bewegt, während beispielsweise mindestens ein Magnet den Empfänger E im ständigen Kontakt mit dem Schienenstrang SS bzw. im konstanten Abstand zum Schienenstrang SS hält.In the third method step, to measure the straightness of the rail track SS of Receiver E either by hand, by driving on a roof of the elevator car and / or but by rappelling or pulling up the receiver E along the Rail tracks SS moves. Preferably, and externally conditioned To avoid measurement inaccuracies, the receiver E is controlled and reproducible moved and, for example via a roller guide along a guide surface FF moves, while, for example, at least one magnet the receiver E in the permanent Contact with the rail track SS or at a constant distance to the rail track SS holds.
Im Messbetrieb erfasst der Empfänger E vorzugsweise kontinuierlich die Abstände zu den einzelnen Sendern S1, S2, S3. Der Empfänger E ermittelt anhand der erfassten Funksignale Abstandsdaten AD, d.h. den momentanen Abstand zu den Sendern S1, S2, S3. Diese Abstandsdaten AD werden Vorteilhafterweise inkremental pro Längen- und Zeiteinheit ermittelt.In measuring operation, the receiver E preferably continuously detects the distances to the individual transmitters S1, S2, S3. The receiver E determines based on the detected radio signals Distance data AD, i. the current distance to the transmitters S1, S2, S3. These Distance data AD is advantageously incremental per unit length and time determined.
Optional können Sensoren S4, S5, S6 vorgesehen sein, welche zusätzlich zum Empfänger E wichtige Merkmal des Schienenstrangs SS detektieren. In der zweiten beispielhaften Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung zur Ermittlung des Zustandes eines Schienenstranges SS gemäss Fig. 2 wird über Sensoren S4, S5, S6 jeweils die Position von Schienenbefestigungen SB, die Position von Schrauben von Verbindungslaschen VL, sowie die Position von Schachttüren ST detektiert. Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt eine solche Detektion, indem die Sensoren S4, S5, S6 gleichzeitig mit dem Empfänger dem Schienenstrang SS entlanggeführt werden und die Positionen der Schienenbefestigungen SB resp. der Verbindungslaschen VL resp. der Schachtüren ST im Aufzugsschacht geortet werden. Durch Erfassung der Position der Schienenbefestigungen SB, der Schrauben von Verbindungslaschen VL, sowie der Schachttüren ST während der Passage des Empfängers E, lassen sich die Abstandsdaten AD des Empfängers E zu den Sendern S1, S2, S3 mit zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD aufbereiten. Solche zusätzlichen Sensoren S4, S5, S6 ermitteln zusätzliche Abstandsdaten ZAD. Ein erster Sensor S4 ermittelt die Position der Schienenbefestigungen SB zum Schienenstrang SS, ein zweiter Sensor S5 ermittelt die Position der Verbindungslasche respektive deren Schrauben im Schienenstrang SS, ein dritter Sensor S6 ermittelt den Abstand und die Position von Schachttüren ST zum Schienenstrang SS. Vorzugsweise werden diese zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD inkremental pro Längen- und Zeiteinheit ermittelt. Bei den Sensoren S4, S5, S6 handelt es sich beispielsweise um handelsübliche Distanzmesser mechanischer-, elektronischer- und/oder optischer Art.Optionally, sensors S4, S5, S6 may be provided, which in addition to the receiver E important feature of the rail track SS detect. In the second exemplary Embodiment of a device for determining the condition of a rail track SS according to FIG. 2 is via sensors S4, S5, S6 respectively the position of Rail fasteners SB, the position of screws of connecting lugs VL, as well as the position of shaft doors ST detected. Advantageously, such is done Detection by the sensors S4, S5, S6 simultaneously with the receiver the Rail track SS are guided along and the positions of the rail fasteners SB resp. the connecting straps VL resp. the shaft doors ST located in the elevator shaft become. By detecting the position of the rail fasteners SB, the screws of Connecting straps VL, as well as the shaft doors ST during the passage of the receiver E, can be the distance data AD of the receiver E to the transmitters S1, S2, S3 with prepare additional distance data ZAD. Such additional sensors S4, S5, S6 determine additional distance data ZAD. A first sensor S4 determines the position of the Rail fasteners SB to rail track SS, a second sensor S5 detects the Position of the connecting plate or their screws in the rail track SS, a third sensor S6 determines the distance and the position of shaft doors ST to Rail track SS. Preferably, these additional distance data ZAD determined incrementally per unit length and time. The sensors S4, S5, S6 are For example, commercially available distancers of mechanical, electronic and / or optical type.
Optional ist es möglich, während der Ermittlung der Abstandsdaten AD, vorzugsweise gleichzeitig auch über mindestens einen Beschleunigungssensor S7 die Querbeschleunigung in der Aufzugskabine AK zu ermitteln. In der dritten beispielhaften Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung zur Ermittlung des Zustandes eines Schienenstranges SS gemäss Fig. 3 erfolgt somit auch eine Aussage über die tatsächlich auf die Aufzugskabine AK übertragenen Querbeschleunigungen. Vorzugsweise werden diese Beschleunigungsdaten BD inkremental pro Längen- und Zeiteinheit ermittelt. Der Beschleunigungssensor S7 ermittelt wegabhängig Beschleunigungsdaten BD und nimmt damit im wesentlichen auf zwei Arten in die Auswertung der Geradheit des Schienenstranges SS Einfluss:
- Anhand der Beschleunigungsdaten BD können Bereiche des Schienenstranges SS lokalisiert werden, in welchen der Schienenstrang SS in unzulässiger Weise ungenau montiert ist. Die Beschleunigungsdaten BD dienen dann als Lokalisierungshilfe von unzulässigen Abweichungen. Der Monteur muss den Schienenstrang SS dann nur in solchen lokalisierten "auffälligen Bereichen" ausrichten, was die Montagezeiten respektive die Korrekturzeiten merklich reduziert.
- Durch die Abstandsdaten AD des Schienenstranges SS einerseits und durch das Beschleunigungsdaten BD andererseits ist es möglich, ein für die Aufzugsanlage charakteristisches Übertragungsverhalten in Abhängigkeit des Weges zu bestimmen. Das Übertragungsverhalten kann dann beispielsweise für eine aktive Ausreglung der Schienenungenauigkeiten "Active Ride" verwendet werden. Nachdem die "kritischen Bereiche" in oben beschriebener Weise in Form des Korrekturprotokolls bekannt sind, kann mit Hilfe der Einrichtung zur Messung der Geradheit des Schienenstranges SS, insbesondere mit Hilfe des Empfängers E, die jeweilige Stelle einfach und schnell wiedergefunden werden. Dazu bewegt der Monteur den Empfänger E wiederum entlang des Schienenstranges SS und verfolgt dabei beispielsweise in Echtzeit das Ergebnis der Triangolation, aus dem er die momentane Position des Empfängers E ablesen kann. Auf diese Weise bewegt er den Empfänger E bis an die "kritische Stelle", die er dann entsprechend dem Korrekturprotokoll ausrichten kann.
- On the basis of the acceleration data BD areas of the rail track SS can be located, in which the rail track SS is improperly mounted inaccurate. The acceleration data BD then serve as a localization aid of impermissible deviations. The installer must then align the rail track SS only in such localized "conspicuous areas", which significantly reduces the assembly times and the correction times.
- By the distance data AD of the rail line SS on the one hand and by the acceleration data BD on the other hand, it is possible to determine a characteristic of the elevator system transmission behavior as a function of the path. The transmission behavior can then be used, for example, for an active balancing of the rail inaccuracies "Active Ride". After the "critical areas" in the manner described above in the form of the correction protocol are known, with the help of the device for measuring the straightness of the rail line SS, in particular with the aid of the receiver E, the respective location can be found easily and quickly. For this purpose, the fitter moves the receiver E in turn along the rail track SS and tracks, for example, in real time the result of the triangulation, from which he can read the current position of the receiver E. In this way he moves the receiver E up to the "critical point", which he can then align according to the correction protocol.

Vom Empfänger E ermittelte Abstandsdaten AD respektive Hubhöhendaten HD werden an die Auswerteeinheit AE weitergeleitet. Von Sensoren S4, S5, S6 ermittelte zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD werden an die Auswerteeinheit AE weitergeleitet. Vom Beschleunigungssensor S7 ermittelte Beschleunigungsdaten BD werden an die Auswerteeinheit AE weitergeleitet. Beispielsweise werden die Abstandsdaten AD, respektive zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD, respektive Hubhöhendaten HD, respektive Beschleunigungsdaten BD als Signale, vorzugsweise als digitale Signale, beispielsweise über eine elektrische Signalleitung bzw. schnurlos per Funk an die Auswerteeinheit AE übermittelt. Die Auswerteeinheit AE ist vorteilhafterweise ein handelsüblicher Rechner mit zentraler Recheneinheit und mindestens einem Speicher, Kommunikationsschnittstellen, usw..Fig. 4 shows a schematic block diagram of the detection, transmission and Evaluation of distance data AD, respectively additional distance data ZAD, respectively lift height data HD, respectively acceleration data BD. From the receiver E determined distance data AD and Hubhöhendaten HD are sent to the Evaluation unit AE forwarded. Additional sensors detected by sensors S4, S5, S6 Distance data ZAD are forwarded to the evaluation unit AE. from Acceleration sensor S7 detected acceleration data BD are sent to the Evaluation unit AE forwarded. For example, the distance data AD, respectively additional distance data ZAD, respectively lift height data HD, respectively Acceleration data BD as signals, preferably as digital signals, for example via an electrical signal line or cordless by radio to the evaluation unit AE transmitted. The evaluation unit AE is advantageously a commercial computer with central processing unit and at least one memory, communication interfaces, etc..
Im vierten Verfahrensschritt wird in der Auswerteeinheit AE, ausgehend von zuvor
ermittelten Abstandsdaten AD, respektive zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD, respektive
Hubhöhendaten HD, respektive Beschleunigungsdaten BD, die einem Ist-Verlauf der
Führungsfläche FF des Schienenstranges SS entsprechen, vorteilhafterweise zunächst ein
unterster Punkt einer Referenzkurve R und ein oberster Punkt einer Referenzkurve R
berechnet. Zwischen diesem untersten- und obersten Punkt einer Referenzkurve R wird mit
Hilfe von analytischen Verfahren vorteilhafterweise die gesamte Referenzkurve R mit
Referenzdaten RD berechnet. Diese Referenzkurve R stellt den jeweils unter
unterschiedlichen Optimierungsgesichtspunkten vorgesehenen Soll-Verlauf der
Führungsfläche FF des Schienenstranges SS dar. Drei beispielhafte Arten von
Referenzkurven R lassen sich wie folgt berechnen:
Bei der Ermittlung der Referenzkurven R der ersten bis dritten Art a) bis c) dienen optional aufgenommene Hubhöhendaten HD zur Unterscheidung einzelner Sendergruppen, so dass zur Auswertung der Abstandsdaten AD vorteilhafterweise nur einer Auswerteeinheit AE benötigt wird.In determining the reference curves R of the first to third types a) to c) are optional recorded Hubhöhendaten HD for distinguishing individual groups of stations, so that for evaluating the distance data AD advantageously only one evaluation unit AE is needed.
Bei der Ermittlung von Referenzkurven R der zweiten Art b) erstreckt sich die Interpolation auf die Bereiche zwischen den einzelnen Schienenbefestigungen SB, Befestigungslaschen BL, Schachttüren ST. Die optional aufgenommenen zusätzlichen Abstandsdaten ZAD dienen somit zur Aufbereitung der Abstandsdaten AD respektive der Korrekturdaten in der Auswerteeinheit AE. Der Abstand der Schachttür ST ist bei einer Korrektur des Schienenstranges insofern von Bedeutung, als in diesem Bereich der Abstand definiert ist und nicht beliebig verstellt werden darf. Korrekturen können bei den Befestigungslaschen BL und bei den Schienenbefestigungen SB vorgenommen werden, es darf jedoch den Abstand zu den Schachtüren ST nicht aus dem Toleranzbereich verschoben werden.In the determination of reference curves R of the second kind b) extends the Interpolation on the areas between the individual rail fasteners SB, Fixing straps BL, shaft doors ST. The optional extra recorded Distance data ZAD thus serve to process the distance data AD or the Correction data in the evaluation unit AE. The distance of the shaft door ST is at a Correction of the rail track is important, as in this area the Distance is defined and may not be arbitrarily adjusted. Corrections can be made at the Mounting straps BL and SB rail fasteners are made, it However, the distance to the shaft doors ST may not be out of the tolerance range be moved.
Bei der Ermittlung von Referenzkurven R der dritten Art c) wird beispielsweise die Steigung der Referenzkurve R berechnet. Aus der Steigung der Referenzkurve R wird eine horizontale Querbeschleunigung berechnet, welche vom Schienenstrang SS auf die Aufzugskabine AK induziert wird. Es ist dabei vorgesehen, einen maximal zulässigen Beschleunigungsbereich bzw. ein frei einstellbares zulässiges Beschleunigungsintervall vorzugeben, und den Verlauf der Referenzkurve R so zu berechnen, dass sich diese innerhalb dieses Beschleunigungsintervalls bewegt. Sobald die Referenzdaten RD der Referenzkurve R den Beschleunigungsbereich überschreiten, wird der Schienenstrang SS ausgerichtet. Damit wird erreicht, dass einerseits der Schienenstrang SS nur so genau wie nötig ausgerichtet werden muss und teuere Montagezeit eingespart werden kann, anderseits doch keine den Fahrkomfort beeinträchtigenden Erschütterungen vom Schienenstrang SS auf die Aufzugskabine AK übertragen werden. Die Referenzkurve R sowie die Referenzdaten RD lassen sich speichern und sind abrufbar. Es ist möglich, die Referenzdaten RD in einer zentralen Datenbank, beispielsweise in einem Archiv, zu speichern und dem Monteur, beispielsweise auf Abruf als Signale, vorzugsweise als digitale Signale, beispielsweise über eine elektrische Signalleitung bzw. schnurlos per Funk zuzustellen. Es ist natürlich auch möglich die Referenzdaten RD dezentral in einer Auswerteeinheit AE zu speichern. Bei Kenntnis der vorliegenden Erfindung hat der Fachmann vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Variation beim Speichern und zur Verfügung stellen von Referenzkurven bzw. Referenzdaten.When determining reference curves R of the third kind c), for example, the Slope of the reference curve R calculated. From the slope of the reference curve R is a calculated horizontal lateral acceleration, which of the rail track SS on the Elevator car AK is induced. It is intended, a maximum allowable Acceleration range or a freely adjustable permissible acceleration interval pretend, and calculate the course of the reference curve R so that this moved within this acceleration interval. Once the reference data RD the Reference curve R exceed the acceleration range, the rail track SS aligned. This ensures that on the one hand, the rail track SS only as accurate as needs to be aligned and expensive assembly time can be saved, on the other hand but not the ride comfort impairing vibrations from the rail track SS be transferred to the elevator car AK. The reference curve R and the Reference data RD can be stored and retrieved. It is possible the Reference data RD in a central database, for example in an archive, too store and the fitter, for example, on demand as signals, preferably as digital signals, for example via an electrical signal line or cordless per To deliver radio. Of course it is also possible to have the reference data RD decentralized in one Save evaluation unit AE. With knowledge of the present invention, the Professional manifold possibilities of variation when saving and available set reference curves or reference data.
Auf der Basis einer Referenzkurve R und der Referenzdaten RD lassen sich für jede Stelle vom Schienenstrang SS die relative Abweichung des Ist-Verlaufes der Führungsfläche FF des Schienenstranges SS gegenüber der Referenzkurve R berechnen. Die erhaltenen relativen Abweichungen werden dem Monteur zur Verfügung gestellt, welcher dadurch eine positionsabhängige Information darüber erhält, in welche Richtung und um welchen Betrag die provisorisch montierte Führungsschiene FS ausgerichtet werden muss, damit sie der gewählten Referenzkurve R mit Referenzdaten RD entspricht.On the basis of a reference curve R and the reference data RD can be for each position From the rail track SS, the relative deviation of the actual course of the guide surface FF of the rail line SS with respect to the reference curve R. The obtained relative deviations are provided to the fitter, who thereby a position-dependent information about it receives in which direction and around which Amount the provisionally mounted guide rail FS must be aligned so that they corresponds to the selected reference curve R with reference data RD.
In einem fünften Verfahrensschritt werden lokaliserte Ungeradheiten des Schienenstranges SS vom Monteur beispielsweise nach einem Korrekturprotokoll auf der Basis einer Referenzkurve R mit Referenzdaten RD ausgerichtet. Die Referenzdaten erlauben präzise Diagramme sowie konkrete Ausrichtvorschläge, sodass der Monteur den Schienenstrang SS präzise und rasch nachrichten kann. Auch ist es möglich, die Korrektur bzw. das Ergebnis der Korrektur "Online" d.h. in Echtzeit, beispielsweise auf einem Monitor M anzuzeigen. In der Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 4 ist der Monitor M Teil eines mobilen Computers, beispielsweise eines Handheld, welcher beispielsweise über Signalkabel bzw. schnurlos per Funk Referenzdaten RD erhält. Prinzipiell ist es möglich, die Auswerteeinheit AE und den Monitor M in einem mobilen Computer beispielsweise in einem Handheld zu realisieren. Insgesamt wird dadurch die Qualität der Ausricht-Arbeit bedeutend erhöht.In a fifth process step, localized oddities of the rail track are determined SS from the fitter, for example, according to a correction protocol based on a Reference curve R aligned with reference data RD. The reference data allow precise Diagrams and concrete alignment suggestions, so that the fitter the rail track SS can accurately and quickly message. Also it is possible the correction or the Result of the correction "Online" i. in real time, for example on a monitor M display. In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the monitor M is part of a mobile one Computer, for example, a handheld, which for example via signal cable or wireless radio reference data RD receives. In principle, it is possible the Evaluation unit AE and the monitor M in a mobile computer, for example in to realize a handheld. Overall, this will improve the quality of the alignment work significantly increased.
