Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piggyback assembly and its handling method.
  • piggybacking Such combined transport, of both road and rail character, is referred to as piggybacking.
  • a piggyback assembly having the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-A-10003315 .
  • the invention proposes to make a piggyback assembly using a railway equipment equipped with standard wheels, whose diameter is for example equal to 920 mm, or even 840 mm strictly.
  • the invention also aims to use stationary fixed installations as simple as possible, in particular that can be reduced to a railway incorporated in a paving mix, of a width limited for example to a dozen meters on each side of the track .
  • the invention also aims to avoid the use, in terminal stations, lifting gear too large, which are therefore a high cost, such as gantry, or sophisticated forklifts.
  • the invention further proposes to make a railway vehicle, belonging to the aforementioned piggyback assembly, which is mainly constructed from conventional elements.
  • a further object of the invention is to design adjustment members, allowing the device to be adapted reception of the road vehicle, according to possible rail gauge constraints.
  • the invention aims to provide a set of piggyback, which is able to load all road vehicles complying with European directives in force.
  • a piggyback assembly comprising a rail transport vehicle, a reception member of a road vehicle, and at least two transfer devices, adapted to cooperate with this receiving member, in which the railway vehicle defines a median housing volume of a body of the receiving member, this housing volume being open laterally on a free open side of the railway vehicle, said rail vehicle being further provided with means for supporting the body of the the receiving member, in a position of attachment of the latter, and each transfer device being provided with a movable transfer member between a folded position and an extended position, the receiving member being hollowed means for the passage each transfer member, in said securing position, while there is provided means for moving this receiving member, able to move it between said securing position and a raised position relative to the rail vehicle, for the transfer of this receiving member.
  • the piggyback assembly of the invention firstly comprises a rail car, generally designated by the reference 2.
  • This carrier wagon comprises a front bogie 4 and a rear bogie 6, intended to rest on rails R.
  • Each bogie supports an end platform, respectively 8 and rear 10.
  • Two respective ranges 20 and 22 extend from the lower end of a corresponding apron 16 or 18.
  • the facing aprons 16 and 18 are connected by two rails 34 and 36, extending one below the other, at a first side of the wagon 2.
  • the two facing ranges 20 and 22 are mutually connected by a lower link 38, extending along the main axis A of the car 2.
  • the rails 34 and 36, and the tie rod 38 can allow the passage of different lines, in particular compressed air and electricity, necessary for the proper operation of the railway train.
  • the railway wagon is built in such a way as to respect perfectly, particularly at the bottom, the standard railway gauges.
  • each platform, in this case 8, and the adjacent range, in this case 20, can be reinforced by means of a bracket 40.
  • several jacks, including a single 42 is illustrated, are provided in the vicinity of the aprons 16 and 18.
  • the middle part of the carrier wagon 2, located between the platforms 8 and 10, is formed only of the rails 34 and 36, as well as the low tug 38. This thus contributes to create, in this middle part, a free volume V , open laterally on the side 2 'opposite to the rails 34 and 36.
  • the piggyback assembly according to the invention also comprises a drawer 102, forming a device for receiving at least one road vehicle, such as a truck, which is not shown in the figures.
  • This drawer has a body 104, having a U-shape, in cross section.
  • the latter is provided with a floor 106, the upper face is reinforced with a longitudinal rib 108, as well as different transverse ribs. It can thus be provided a median transverse rib 110, as well as two transverse end ribs 112.
  • the floor of the drawer will be arranged to receive shims to immobilize the wheels of road vehicles during rail transport.
  • the floor 106 is extended by two supporting side walls 116 and 118. It should be noted that one of these 116 walls, intended to be received on the open side side 2 'of the car 2, is completely smooth. On the other hand, the other wall 118 has, on its outer face, a median recess 120, as well as a lower shoulder 122.
  • the rails 34 and 36 are shown in phantom, in the position of attachment, by gravity, the drawer 102 on the carrier wagon 2. It may be noted that the height of the recess 120 is greater than that of the upper rail 34, which which gives them a possibility of vertical travel, necessary both for the unlocking of the drawer, but also for its possible setting for traffic on all the networks below, while the low rail 36 rests against the underside of the shoulder 122.
  • the median volume V of the wagon therefore allows the housing 104 of the drawer.
  • the thickness of the side walls 116 and 118 may optionally be increased towards the ends of the drawer 102. This allows a possible reinforcement of the beaks described below, supporting the drawer and its load.
  • Possibilities of mooring the boxes of road vehicles to the upper parts of the side walls may be provided.
  • these walls can be raised by lighter structures designed to prevent Excessive clearance of the upper parts of the bodies of road vehicles likely to engage the railway gauge during transport.
  • small liftable ramps At the end of the floor of the drawer are provided small liftable ramps, whose length is, for example 45 centimeters, to facilitate access road vehicles inside the drawer despite the slight difference in height (about twenty centimeters only) between the top of the end beam of the drawer floor and the floor of the roadway.
  • the side walls 116 and 118 are extended at their two ends by side jaws 124, thus provided four in number.
  • These nozzles which are intended to rest on the platforms 8 and 10 of the car 2, are dug unrepresented blind holes for receiving the lugs 26 and 28, which are provided with these platforms.
  • Notches 126 intended as will be seen in the following passage of slides, are further provided in the underside of these beaks 124 (see in particular figure 2E ).
  • the piggyback assembly according to the invention finally comprises a device ensuring the transfer of the drawer 102.
  • This device called “transloader”, which is assigned in its entirety of the reference 202, is more particularly visible on the Figures 3A to 3F .
  • This frame 204 comprises a frame 204, mounted on wheels 206, which supports a driving cabin 208.
  • the upper part of this frame 204 constitutes a platform on which are mounted one or more slide (s) 210, which are equipped with rollers 212, to ensure easier movement.
  • each slide 210 includes a bottom 210 'and a movable upper portion 210 "which can be moved away from the bottom by 214.
  • This upper part is further provided with two pairs of shoulders 216, thus delimiting two housings 217 intended to receive the lower face of the beaks 124.
  • feeler 214 of a type known per se, which makes it possible to adjust the levels of the trays of the wagon and the transfer device, as will be described in the following.
  • Cylinders of which only one 216 is shown, ensure the movement of the slides, along a generally horizontal axis. Additional cylinders 218 further ensure the lifting of the entire transfer device 202, for its leveling with the corresponding wagon tray.
  • the rail transport vehicle 2 and the drawer 102 are secured, by cooperation of the rails 34, 36 and the tie rod 38, respectively with the recess 120, the shoulder 122 and the notch 114, as well as by the holding of the pins in their housing. It is assumed that this rail vehicle 2 has just arrived at the unloading site.
  • each of these wagon 2 is approached, at its lateral side 2 ', that is to say beyond the side wall 116 of the drawer 102, to ensure their direct mutual contact.
  • the latter corresponds to a very small spacing, for example less than 1 or 2 centimeters, between the wagon 2 and the devices 202.
  • the actuators 42 are maneuvered so as to stabilize the car 2, by "béquillant", to prevent inadvertent movement thereof during handling of the drawer 102 and its load.
  • the jacks 218 of the transfer device 202 are maneuvered so as to raise the latter, according to the arrow F 1 .
  • the upper wall of the frame 204 is advantageously placed slightly above the platforms 8 and 10 of the wagon 2.
  • This operation allows the establishment of the probe 214, which is operated horizontally according to the arrow F 2 . This then controls the exact leveling of the platform of the ferry 202 with the platform 8 of the carrier wagon 2.
  • each slide 210 At the end of this movement, the two housings 217 of each slide 210 are at the right of a corresponding nozzle 124.
  • the upper part of the slide 210 is then raised, for example about ten centimeters (arrow F 4 ), by the cylinders 214 incorporated in said slideway, so as to obtain the unlocking of the lugs 26, 28, 30 and 32 and the low tug 38.
  • These beaks are then received in the housings 217 of the slideway 210, as shown in the 3D figure .
  • the floor 106 of the drawer 102 is placed above the ground, since the cylinders 218 are still in use.
  • the car 2 also remains on cylinders, with the brakes tight, to guard against inadvertent movement.
  • the drawer 102 now rests on the ground, being disconnected from the transfer device 202.
  • the latter can withdraw, so as to win another workstation.
  • the road vehicle, initially received on the drawer 102 can be released, in order to move autonomously.
  • the maneuvers of one of the two transloaders are or must be enslaved to those of the other by a radio device, infrared, or the like, from the docking of the ferries to the wagon carrier.
  • the ferries can be fairly small size, handling handling of the receiving member are always transloaders stopped and stalled by their cylinders.
  • this drawer could be controlled by slides secured to the inner aprons 16 and 18 of the carrier wagon which would then be "symmetrical", since provided with two low rails 36 and a low pulling 38.
  • the drawers would be placed in the upper position, it could thus ensure continuity between the floors of the train cars, allowing the loading of road vehicles from one end of the train.
