Definitions

  • the invention relates to a superstructure tongue device with a stock rail, a tongue rail in a control rail such as grooved rail, a guide rail, the tongue rail rule rail side, in particular via a wedge element frictionally receiving support and a tongue rail slidingly supporting slide like sliding plate.
  • a corresponding superstructure tongue device is the EP 0 603 883 B1 refer to.
  • the guide or Beischiene consist of flat material.
  • the holder for the tongue rail which can also be referred to as a tongue adapter, receives the tongue rail in sections and fixes it in particular via a double wedge clamping plate.
  • the tongue adapter itself limits sections of a groove in the connecting rail groove.
  • a superstructure tongue device is known, are integrally formed in the guide rail and support bed for the tongue rail.
  • a basic block can be produced by casting, which receives the desired geometry by abrading machining.
  • the tongue adapter itself can be formed from the block with.
  • structural and manufacturing disadvantages are given, resulting from the use of a solid component. So massive rectangular profiles have no pronounced rolling structure due to their low degree of deformation so that gas bubbles and voids in the block interior can be present, which can enforce the surface during processing, whereby the function of the device is impaired.
  • solid rectangular profiles have inferior material properties and mechanical quality values in comparison to rolled individual components. Since a homogeneous structure is basically not present, the low elongation at break promotes the tendency to cracking.
  • the EP 1 013 826 A1 refers to a tongue rail; the connection rail side has a geometry that corresponds to the connection rail. For this purpose, a partial Umschmieden the rail-side end portion of the tongue rail.
  • a tongue device in monoblock fashion is off DE 808 713 C known.
  • the present invention is based on the problem, a Oberbau Tonnevomchtüng of the aforementioned type and a method for producing such educate so that only a few components must be used to form the device without sacrificing the functionality are to be accepted , At the same time good material properties should be given or they are not or not significantly changed in a necessary processing. Furthermore, materials are to be used which show the optimum suitability for a superstructure tongue device. Also, a simplified production is to be made possible.
  • the problem is essentially solved in that the guide rail is a machined section of a rolling profile consisting of, in particular, rail steel is, the rule rail side has one of the control rail corresponding cross-section and goes into this flush.
  • the rolled section is preferably a construction rail such as a thick-web rail or solid rail or a rectangular rail, for example a cross-section of 180 ⁇ 180 mm 2 .
  • a rolled section such as construction rail is used as a starting material for the production of the guide rail, which has good material properties and high mechanical quality values, as they are known from rail steel. Also, there is a homogeneous structure, so that a tendency to cracking is not given.
  • the use of rail steel in particular preserves proven welded constructions so that all elements can be designed with the most suitable materials for their function.
  • a rolled sheet in wear-resistant steel grade can continue to be used for the sliding device such as sliding plate, a possibility that is not possible in the formation of superstructure tongue devices in monoblock construction. Also, compared to monoblock constructions a more economical production is given, since the processing and machining costs are kept within limits.
  • the rule rail side end of the tongue rail receiving holder such as tongue adapter is welded to the processed rolled section as the processed construction rail. Consequently, in the region of the connection of the tongue rail with the adapter, an apparent monobloc construction exists, so that the advantages that exist to this extent are taken over .
  • the holder is a reforged portion of the rolled section.
  • the possibility of a separately prepared holder with the processed rolled profile by z. B. to connect screw positively, is also to be considered.
  • the orientation of the holder on the one hand to the processed rolled section and on the other hand to be absorbed by the holder portion of the tongue rail is such that extending in the region of the bracket and continuing in the control rail groove is limited exclusively by the processed rolled section and the portion of the tongue rail.
  • the rolled section in the form of a construction rail of tongue rail tip from before the holder in comparison to the course in and after the recording staggered course, that is cranked.
  • the superstructure tongue device according to the invention has a construction which has the advantages of a monobloc construction without taking over its disadvantages.
  • suitable materials can be used, which satisfy an optimal functionality, without manufacturing-related disadvantages must be taken into account.
  • the guide rail is made over the entire length of the tongue rail up to the control rail of a component which is machined to the extent required.
  • a method for forming a portion of a superstructure tongue device comprising a stock rail, a tongue rail passing into a control rail such as a grooved rail, a guardrail, a holder receiving the tongue rail, and a slider slidably supporting the tongue rail between the stock rail and the guardrail are thereby characterized in that the guide rail is produced from a rolled section of rail steel by machining, which passes into a section having a profile corresponding to the control rail, which is formed by machining a section of the rolled section.
  • the rolled section can be bent to achieve a desired course of the guide rail before the particular machining of the rolled section.
  • the rolled section may be subject to machining by e.g. autogenous flame cutting receives its basic contour.
  • the rolled section may be connected to the support as welded, and then the rolled section may be bent to achieve the desired course.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b show in plan view essential elements of a superstructure tongue device of basically known construction.
  • the superstructure tongue device comprises a guide rail 10 and a stock rail 12 and a tongue rail 14 which is slidably adjustable on a slide plate 16.
  • a guide rail 10 and a stock rail 12
  • a tongue rail 14 which is slidably adjustable on a slide plate 16.
  • unspecified common adjusting devices can be used.

  • the rail sections connect to control rails such as grooved rails, which can be connected by welding with the rail sections in the usual way.
  • the guide rail 10 in the entire superstructure tongue device up to the rule rail end 22 is a section of a rolled section, in particular in the form of a construction rail such as thick bar rail 24, which undergoes the desired profiling by editing.
  • a rolled section made of rail steel is used as the starting material, which undergoes the desired within the superstructure tongue device geometry especially by machining to form the one hand, the guide rail 10 and on the other hand rule rail side to obtain a profile that corresponds to the control rail.
  • This profile is identified by the reference numeral 26 in FIG. 1b.
  • the guide rail 10 on unspecified marked stages on which the sliding plate 16 can be supported, which in particular by welding to the guide rail 10 and the stock rail 12 is connected can be.
  • the slide plate 16 in the true sense of smaller and larger sliding plate sections 30, 32, 34, as Fig. 6 illustrates.
  • the tongue adapter 18 itself is welded to the construction rail 24 (FIG. 4) and, as mentioned, in particular by means of wedge clamping plates 20, clamps the tongue rail 14 in its control rail side, ie root side, end.
  • the running in this area and continuing in the control rail groove 36 is limited as follows.
  • Rillenflanke 38 on the one hand and trailing edge 40 of the groove 36 on the other hand are formed by sections of the construction rail 24 and the tongue rail 14.
  • the groove bottom 42 of the groove 36 is a portion of the structural rail 24 so that the tongue adapter 18 itself does not directly define the groove 36. Rather, the tongue adapter 18 extends along the bottom 42 and groove facing away outside 44 of the tongue rail 14 and is welded on the one hand to the web 28 of the construction rail 24 and on the other hand with the foot 46.
  • machined structural rail 24 extends longitudinally to either side of the tongue adapter 18.
  • a construction profile is in particular a thick bar rail (type D 180/105) in question.
  • Other structural rails such as full-head rails, solid rails or the like are also suitable.
