Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a locomotive, as for example in track construction and, strictly speaking, it concerns a low-set diesel locomotive and their use for transporting track material.
  • gantry crane For the construction of tracks, a so-called gantry crane is used as a rule on the left and right next to the track to be built provisionally arranged (makeshift) Rails moved.
  • the Jochen to be laid ready connected rails with the Threshold
  • the Threshold are available on wagons, with a single yoke having a total length of about 120 m.
  • the gantry crane moves slowly (pace) of his work site back to the wagons and takes each a new yokes. There the gantry crane can only move at a walking pace is the resulting way of working very slow and the associated time required very high.
  • the locomotive could drive under the gantry crane.
  • the Standard diesel locomotives can not do that, because they are in favor too high. Since the height below a gantry crane with absorbed yokes is 2.55 m, may be a suitable locomotive due to the required safety distance not higher than 2.35 m.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a locomotive for track construction to provide that can pass under a gantry crane in the aforementioned sense and which has the required tractive force to when laying the track material with yokes to be able to pull loaded wagons under the gantry crane.
  • a locomotive which includes a locomotive frame, two spaced apart multi-axle bogies mounted on the locomotive frame and a gearbox and a drive motor above one of the bogies on the locomotive frame a driver's cab consisting of two separate driver's cabs, the left and are attached to the right of the body of the locomotive, and a hydraulic device, to drive the driver's cabs up and down.
  • the locomotive has a total height less than 2.55 m (gantry height) and allows it to pass under the gantry crane.
  • the locomotive according to the invention is therefore designed such that it is low overall is set, with the driver's cabs can be driven down, leaving their roof then each lie approximately at the height of the low-set body of the locomotive. On In this way, the locomotive can load the wagons laden with yokes under the gantry crane pull through and transport to the front end of the track construction work.
  • the on provisionally laid rails very slowly running gantry crane then no longer needs go back to record a new yoke, but only forward, and although in the course of the progress of the track construction work. Compared to the previous one Workflow is thus by the use of the locomotive according to the invention in the Track laying achieved a time savings of about 35%.
  • Another advantage compared to known locomotives is that as a result the driver's cabs of locomotive drivers on both sides of the locomotive Locomotive can be controlled from any side.
  • An even further advantage compared to known locomotives is that in other work operations of the locomotive or during normal trip the driver's cabs are driven up again so that the view or overview is given as usual.
  • the drive motor may be a diesel engine be. This can also be offset from the center so that the bogie has sufficient running freedom, in which case due to the speed a Between transmission between the drive motor and the transmission is connected.
  • the drive motor is offset 80 mm from the center.
  • the locomotive at down driving cabs have a height of 2.32 m.
  • the hydraulic device according to yet another optional feature the invention be provided only on one side.
  • the hydraulic comprises Establishment of a hydraulic pump.
  • the bogies may be biaxial be.
  • driver's cabs can optionally each include a driver's desk.
  • the connection between the respective driver's desk and a driver's brake valve or additional brake valve is advantageously kept elastic. This is preferably done by means of realized for each maneuvering separate, elastic rubber pipe connections.
  • the cabs can be in the same direction or in opposite directions Be aligned directions.
  • the use of the locomotive for Transporting track material provided. It drives the locomotive invention in drove down cabs under a gantry crane and pulls with Jochen loaded waggons under this.
  • FIGs 1A and 1B show a diesel locomotive 20 of the prior art.
  • a diesel locomotive 20 of the prior art Of the Vehicle part of the known diesel locomotive shown in Figures 1A, 1B, in which there is a series 211 long-haul diesel locomotive, consists essentially of from a locomotive frame 22, a cab 21 with driver's desk and seat 17, one front and rear machine panels and two biaxial bogies 19.
  • the diesel engine 1 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B has an intake turbine and via a suitably fitting engine mount, through which the engine on the locomotive frame 22 is attached.
  • the required combustion air is through an air filter 5 and Intake hoses supplied.
  • the exhaust gases are via a silencer 4 at the front of the cab 21 derived upwards.
  • the exhaust duct 15 serves as additional silencer.
