Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zum kontinuierlichen Entfernen von Altschwellen eines Gleises, mit einem Fahrwerke aufweisenden Maschinenrahmen und einer Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Altschwellen aus einer Schotterbettung, wobei der Vorrichtung eine Fördereinrichtung zum Abtransport der Altschwellen in Maschinenlängsrichtung zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to a machine for the continuous removal of old sleepers a track, with a chassis having machine frame and a device for receiving old sleepers from a Ballast bed, wherein the device has a conveyor for removal the old sleepers is assigned in the machine longitudinal direction.

Eine derartige Maschine für die gesamte Erneuerung eines Gleises ist durch US 5 357 867 bekannt. Unter kontinuierlicher Vorfahrt der Maschine werden die Altschwellen von der Schotterbettung abgehoben und auf der Maschine gelagert. Parallel dazu erfolgt eine Ablage von Neuschwellen, auf die schließlich neue Schienen abgelegt werden.Such a machine for the entire renewal of a track is by US 5,357,867. Be under continuous right of way of the machine the old sleepers lifted off the ballast bed and on the machine stored. At the same time, there is a filing of new sound waves, to which finally new rails are stored.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Maschine der gattungsgemäßen Art, mit der auch bei unterschiedlicher Qualität der Altschwellen eine gleichmäßige Arbeitsleistung erzielbar ist.The object of the present invention is now to provide a machine the generic type, with the same quality the old sleepers an even work performance is achievable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß eine Schwellenverschiebevorrichtung mit einem durch Antriebe höhenverstellbaren und in Maschinenquerrichtung verstellbaren Schiebeorgan der Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Altschwellen - bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung der Maschine - vorgeordnet ist.According to the invention this object is achieved with a machine of the aforementioned Art solved by a threshold displacement device with a height adjustable by drives and adjustable in the cross machine direction Sliding member of the apparatus for receiving old sleepers - with respect to the working direction of the machine - upstream.

Mit dieser Ausbildung wird sichergestellt, daß selbst bei einer sehr brüchigen Altschwelle die Kontinuität des Gleiserneuerungsprozesses nicht im geringsten beeinträchtigt ist, da diese kritische Altschwelle mit Hilfe des Schiebeorgans der Vorrichtung sehr rasch in Maschinenquerrichtung auf die Schotterbettflanke befördert werden kann. Damit sind mögliche Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen der nachfolgenden Aufnahmevorrichtung für die normalen, nicht brüchigen Altschwellen zuverlässig vermeidbar. Derartige Störungen sind insoferne besonders nachteilig, als dabei meistens ein Stopp der Maschinenvorfahrt und eine händische Entfernung von Bruchstücken erforderlich ist.This training ensures that even with a very brittle Old threshold does not in the least the continuity of the track renewal process is impaired, since this critical old threshold with the help of the sliding organ the device very quickly in the cross machine direction on the ballast bed edge can be transported. Thus, possible functional impairments the subsequent recording device for the normal, not Fragile old sleepers reliably avoidable. Such disturbances are so far particularly disadvantageous, as doing mostly a stop of the machine approach and manual removal of debris is required.

Weitere Vorteile und Ausbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Zeichnung.Further advantages and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the drawing.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben.In the following the invention with reference to shown in the drawing Embodiments described in more detail.

  • 1 is a side view of a front end of a track renewal machine with a threshold shifting device;
  • 2 and 3 is a detail view of the threshold displacement device in the machine longitudinal and transverse directions, and
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of another variant of a threshold displacement device.

    • Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Maschine 1 zur Gleiserneuerung weist einen über Fahrwerke 2 auf einem Gleis 3 bzw. einer Schotterbettung 4 verfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen 5 auf und ist in einer durch einen Pfeil 6 dargestellten Arbeitsrichtung verfahrbar. Unmittelbar vor dem als Raupenfahrwerk 7 ausgebildeten zweiten Fahrwerk 2 ist eine Vorrichtung 8 zur Aufnahme von Altschwellen 9 vorgesehen.A machine 1 for track renewal shown in FIG. 1 has an over Chassis 2 on a track 3 or a ballast bed 4 movable Machine frame 5 and is in a direction shown by an arrow 6 working direction traversable. Immediately before trained as crawler chassis 7 second chassis 2 is a device 8 for receiving old sleepers 9 provided.

    Eine Vorrichtung 11 dient zur Ablage von Neuschwellen 10 auf die Schotterbettung 4. Zur Planierung der freigelegten Schotterbettung 4 sind eine Planierfräse 12 sowie eine Verdichteinrichtung 13 höhenverstellbar mit dem Maschinenrahmen 5 verbunden. A device 11 serves to store new sleepers 10 on the ballast bed 4. To plan the exposed ballast bed 4 are a planer 12 and a compactor 13 height adjustable with the Machine frame 5 connected.

    Der Vorrichtung 8 zur Aufnahme von Altschwellen 9 ist eine Schwellenverschiebevorrichtung 14 - bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung der Maschine 1 - vorgeordnet.The device 8 for receiving old sleepers 9 is a threshold displacement device 14 - with respect to the working direction of the machine 1 - upstream.

    Wie in den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich, ist die durch einen Antrieb 15 höhenverstellbare Schwellenverschiebevorrichtung 14 mit einem durch einen weiteren Antrieb 16 querverstellbaren Schiebeorgan 17 ausgestattet. Dieses weist eine in Maschinenlängsrichtung und vertikal verlaufende Anlagefläche 18 zur Anlage an eine Stirnfläche 19 der Altschwelle 9 auf.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the height-adjustable by a drive 15 Threshold displacement device 14 with one by another Drive 16 transversely adjustable sliding member 17 equipped. This one has in the machine longitudinal direction and vertically extending contact surface 18 to Appendix to an end face 19 of the old threshold 9.

    Wie in Fig. 4 ersichtlich, kann das Schiebeorgan 17 beispielsweise auch in Form von durch einen Antrieb 20 in Maschinenlängsrichtung beistellbaren Greifzangen 21 ausgebildet sein.As can be seen in Fig. 4, the sliding member 17, for example, in Form of by a drive 20 can be provided in the machine longitudinal direction Tongs 21 may be formed.

    Im Arbeitseinsatz werden die Altschwellen 9 unter kontinuierlicher Vorfahrt der Maschine 1 mit Hilfe der Vorrichtung 8 von der Schotterbettung 4 abgehoben und einer Fördereinrichtung 22 für eine Lagerung auf der Maschine 1 zugeführt.
