Abstract

The method involves temporary fixing of the track-forming rails laterally on the solid subsoil before laying the concrete base plate (5). The precise positioning of the rail fixing elements is caused by a positioning mechanism led by means of the temporarily fastened rails.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer festen Fahrbahn für Schienenfahrzeuge nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for producing a Fixed carriageway for rail vehicles according to the generic term of claim 1.

Ein solches Verfahren ist aus DE 198 08 812 C2 bekannt.Such a method is known from DE 198 08 812 C2.

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, die Schienenbefestigungselemente auf eine möglichst rationelle Weise lagegenau positionieren zu können.The invention addresses the problem of rail fasteners in the most rational way possible to be able to position precisely.

Erfindungsgemäß erreicht wird dies durch die Verfahrensschritte nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1.This is achieved according to the invention by the method steps according to the characterizing part of the claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Appropriate embodiments of the invention are the subject of subclaims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, die Schienen des fertigen Gleises zuvor als Ausrichthilfe für ein lagegenaues Positionieren der Schienenbefestigungselemente zu verwenden. Zu diesem Zweck werden die für das fertige Gleis einzusetzenden Schienen, die Längen über 100 m besitzen können, noch zeitlich vor dem Aufbringen der Betontragplatte auf dem festen Untergrund, auf dem die Betontragplatte zu liegen kommt, in einer von der Lage der Schienen im fertigen Gleis definiert um einen konstanten Wert exakt abweichenden Position temporär befestigt.The invention is based on the general idea that Rails of the finished track previously as an alignment aid for an exact positioning of the rail fastening elements to use. For this purpose, those for the finished Rails to be used, lengths over 100 m can own, before the application of the concrete slab on the solid surface on which the concrete support plate comes to rest in one of the position of the rails in the finished track exactly defined by a constant value deviating position temporarily fixed.

Das entsprechende Ausrichten der temporär zu befestigenden Schienen erfolgt über höhen- und seitenmäßig justierbare Hilfslager zwischen den Schienen und dem festen Untergrund. Die Hilfslager werden dabei beispielsweise über Schrauben, die in in den festen Untergrund zuvor eingebrachte Dübel eingeschraubt werden, befestigt. Auch die Schienen selbst sind mit den Hilfslagern lösbar verbunden. Nachdem die temporär befestigten Schienen ihre Positionierfunktion für das Anbringen der Schienenbefestigungselemente auf der Betontragplatte erfüllt haben, werden sie demontiert und auf die Schienenbefestigungselemente zur Erzeugung des fertigen Gleises aufgesetzt. Auch die Hilfslager, mit denen die Schienen temporär auf dem festen Untergrund befestigt waren, werden anschließend entfernt und erneut zum temporären Befestigen einer Schiene zu Ausrichtzwecken verwendet.The corresponding alignment of those to be temporarily fixed Rails are made via height and side adjustable Auxiliary bearing between the rails and the solid surface. The auxiliary bearings are, for example, screwed, the dowels previously inserted into the solid surface are screwed in, fastened. The rails themselves are detachably connected to the auxiliary bearings. After the temporary attached rails their positioning function for that Attach the rail fasteners to the concrete slab have been fulfilled, they are dismantled and attached to the Rail fastening elements for the production of the finished Track put on. The auxiliary camps with which the Rails were temporarily attached to the solid surface, are then removed and again for temporary attachment a rail used for alignment purposes.

Zum Positionieren und Einbringen der Schienenbefestigungselemente in der Betontragplatte kann die Einbringvorrichtung auf den temporär verlegten Schienen verfahrbar gelagert sein. Beim Durchführen des eigentlichen Einbringvorganges durch insbesondere Rütteln sollte die Einbringvorrichtung temporär an den Schienen, auf denen sie verfährt, fixiert sein, um eine hohe Einbringgenauigkeit erzielen zu können. Die Schienenbefestigungselemente können bestehen aus einem Betonfertigteil mit daran befindlichen, bei Betonschwellen üblichen Schienenbefestigungsmitteln und Verankerungsmitteln zum Verankern des Betonfertigteiles innerhalb der Betontragplatte. Das Betonfertigteil entspricht praktisch demjenigen Bereich einer üblichen Betonschwelle, der direkt unterhalb der metallischen Schienenbefestigungsmittel liegt. Die Verankerungsmittel ragen insbesondere von unten aus dem Betonfertigteil hinaus.For positioning and inserting the rail fastening elements The insertion device can be in the concrete slab movably supported on the temporarily laid rails his. When performing the actual insertion process the insertion device should be shaken in particular temporarily fixed to the rails on which it travels in order to achieve a high insertion accuracy. The rail fastening elements can consist of one Precast concrete part with it, at concrete sleepers usual rail fasteners and anchoring means for anchoring the precast concrete element within the concrete slab. The precast concrete practically corresponds to that Area of a common concrete sleeper that is directly below the metallic rail fasteners. The anchoring means protrude particularly from below from the precast concrete part out.

Die Betontragplatte soll keine herausragenden Dämme oder Höcker besitzen. Die Betontragplatte soll vielmehr mit einem solchen höhenmäßigen Übermaß gefertigt werden, daß in den Auflagerbereichen für die Betonfertigteile Aufnahmemulden auf ein vorgebbares Sollmaß eingearbeitet werden können. Das Übermaß muß also derart sein, daß auch bei ungünstigster Fertigungstoleranz noch eine ausreichende Höhe zum Auflegen eines erfindungsgemäßen Betonfertigteiles verbleibt. Die betreffenden Aufnahmemulden in der Betontragplatte werden von der die Betonfertigteile einbringenden Einbringvorrichtung aus durch hierfür vorgesehene Ausräumvorrichtungen ausgeräumt.The concrete slab should not have any outstanding dams or Own humps. Rather, the concrete support slab is designed with one such excess heights are manufactured that in the Support areas for the precast concrete receiving troughs can be incorporated to a predetermined target dimension. The Excess must therefore be such that even the most unfavorable Manufacturing tolerance still a sufficient height to hang up of a precast concrete part according to the invention remains. The concerned Receiving troughs in the concrete slab are from the feeding device that brings the precast concrete parts cleared out by means provided for this purpose.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Gleises ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of a manufactured according to the invention Track is shown in the drawing.
