Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stangenanordnung, insbesondere Zungenprüferanordnung für Weichen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a rod arrangement, in particular tongue tester arrangement for switches, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die nachfolgenden Erläuterungen beziehen sich im Wesentlichen auf eine Zungenprüferanordnung für Weichen für Schienenfahrzeuge, ohne dass der Schutzbereich auf diese spezielle Anwendung beschränkt sein soll.The following explanations essentially relate to a tongue checker arrangement for switches for rail vehicles, without the scope of protection being restricted to this particular application.

Zungenprüfer dienen dazu, den Ist-Zustand der Weiche, d. h. die aktuelle Lage der beiden Weichenzungen relativ zu den Backenschienen, mechanisch abzutasten und ein Prüfsignal zu erzeugen, anhand dessen zuverlässig festgestellt werden kann, ob die Weiche korrekt umgestellt wurde und ob sich die anliegende und die ablegende Weichenzunge in ihrer jeweiligen vorgegebenen Endlage befinden. Die Prüferstangen erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen quer zu den Weichenzungen und werden beim Umstellen der Weiche in ihrer Längsrichtung verschoben. Die Positionen der Prüferstangen werden mit Hilfe von elektromechanischen Wandlern, beispielsweise durch Endschalter, erfasst, die durch einen Schaltfinger der Prüferstange betätigt werden. Da die Zungenp0rüferanordnung für verschiedene Montageorte mit unterschiedlichem Abstand zum Weichenzungenende geeignet sein muss, ist die Prüferstange üblicherweise in zwei drehfeste Stangenstücke unterteilt, die zwecks Längeneinstellung über ein Zwischenstück miteinander verbinden sind. Häufig wird als Zwischenstück eine Überwurfmutter verwendet, die einerseits ein Linksgewinde und andererseits ein Rechtsgewinde aufweist, welche in entsprechende Gewindeenden der Stangenstücke eingreifen. Durch Drehung der Überwurfmutter werden die Stangenstücken entweder aufeinander zubewegt oder voneinander entfernt, so dass auf diese Weise der Abstand zwischen den Stangenstücken und damit die Gesamtlänge der Zungenprüferanordnung einstellbar ist. Dabei muss gewährleistet sein, dass eine unbeabsichtigte Längenverstellung, beispielsweise durch zufällige oder erschütterungsbedingte Einwirkung auf das Zwischenstück, quasi ausgeschlossen ist.Tongue examiners are used to mechanically scan the actual state of the switch, ie the current position of the two switch blades relative to the jaw rails and to generate a test signal, can be reliably determined by means of whether the switch has been converted correctly and whether the fitting and the depositing switch blade are in their respective predetermined end position. The Prüferstangen extend substantially transverse to the switch blades and are moved when switching the switch in its longitudinal direction. The positions of the Prüferstangen be detected by means of electromechanical transducers, for example by limit switches, which are actuated by a shift finger of the Prüferstange. Since the Zungenp0rüferanordnung must be suitable for different locations with different distances to the switch blade end, the Prüferstange is usually divided into two non-rotatable rod pieces, which are connected together for the purpose of length adjustment via an intermediate piece. Often, a union nut is used as an intermediate piece, on the one hand a left-hand thread and on the other hand a right-hand thread has, which engage in corresponding threaded ends of the rod pieces. By rotation of the cap nut, the rod pieces are either moved toward each other or away from each other, so that in this way the distance between the rod pieces and thus the total length of the tongue tester assembly is adjustable. It must be ensured that an unintentional length adjustment, for example, by accidental or vibration-induced effect on the intermediate piece, is virtually excluded.

Aus der DE 198 40 328 C1 ist ein Verriegelungsmechanismus bekannt, bei dem eine Hülse formschlüssig auf ein Stangenstück und das Zwischenstück aufgeschoben wird. Die Hülse steht in Verschieberichtung unter Vorspannung und muss gegen diese Vorspannung zum Zwecke der Verstellung des Zwischenstückes zurückgeschoben werden, wobei sich die Hülse hernach selbsttätig über das Zwischenstück schiebt und die Verriegelung bewirkt.From DE 198 40 328 C1, a locking mechanism is known in which a sleeve is positively pushed onto a rod piece and the intermediate piece. The sleeve is biased in the direction of displacement and must be pushed back against this bias for the purpose of adjusting the intermediate piece, with the sleeve thereafter automatically pushes over the intermediate piece and causes the lock.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stangenanordnung der gattungsgemäßen Art anzugeben, bei der die Längeneinstellung, insbesondere hinsichtlich Verschleiß und Handling vereinfacht ist.The invention has for its object to provide a rod assembly of the generic type, in which the length adjustment, especially in terms of wear and handling is simplified.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch das schwenkbare Verschlussformteil, dessen freies Ende zur Lagefixierung des Zwischenstückes gegenüber den beiden festen Stangenstücken ausgebildet ist, ergibt sich in einfacher Weise eine verschleißresistente und gut händelbare Längenverstellung der Stangenanordnung. Eine nach dem Stand der Technik vorgesehene Vorspannung des Verriegelungselementes, der während des Längenverstellprozesses durch Kraftanstrengung entgegengewirkt werden muss, entfällt. Dadurch ist ohne größere Kraftanstrengung eine sehr feinfühlige Längenverstellung möglich. Nach dem Verstellvorgang muss das Verschlussformteil nur noch vom Monteur in einem abschließenden Handgriff in die Verriegelungsposition geschwenkt werden. Die Sicherheitsfunktion, die nach dem Stand der Technik durch die Vorspannung der Schiebehülse erreicht wird, ist in das Verschlussformteil selbst integriert. Wegen der Gelenkbefestigung des Verschlussformteils an einem der beiden Stangenstücke ist die Lage des Verschlussformteils gegenüber dem Zwischenstück für jede Längeneinstellung der Stangenanordnung vorgegeben. Eine Axialverschiebung des Verriegelungselementes ist im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik nicht möglich.According to the invention the object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Due to the pivotable closure molding, whose free end is designed to fix the position of the intermediate piece relative to the two fixed rod pieces, resulting in a simple manner a wear-resistant and easily negotiable length adjustment of the rod assembly. A provided according to the prior art bias of the locking element, which counteracts during the Längenverstellprozesses by exertion must be deleted. As a result, a very sensitive length adjustment is possible without much effort. After adjustment, the closure molding must be pivoted only by the fitter in a final handle in the locking position. The safety function, which is achieved in the prior art by the bias of the sliding sleeve is integrated into the closure molding itself. Because of the hinge fastening of the closure molding on one of the two rod pieces, the position of the closure molding is predetermined with respect to the intermediate piece for each length adjustment of the rod assembly. An axial displacement of the locking element is not possible in contrast to the prior art.

Um zu verhindern, dass sich das Zwischenstück unter dem Verschlussformteil drehen kann und damit unbeabsichtigt der Abstand zwischen den Stangenstücken verändert werden kann, ist das freie Ende des Verschlussformteils gemäß Anspruch 2 als Klammer ausgebildet, welche eine vorzugsweise sechskantige Außenkontur des Zwischenstücks formschlüssig umgreift.In order to prevent that the intermediate piece can rotate under the closure molding and thus inadvertently the distance between the rod pieces can be changed, the free end of the closure molding according to claim 2 is formed as a clamp which engages around a preferably hexagonal outer contour of the intermediate piece form fit.

Vorzugsweise ist die Klammer gemäß Anspruch 3 mit zwei Federarmen versehen, welche einander zugewandte aufspreizbare Festhalteenden aufweisen.Preferably, the clip is provided according to claim 3 with two spring arms, which have mutually facing spreadable retaining ends.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand figürlicher Darstellungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to figurative representations. Show it:
FIG. 1

FIG. 2
the tongue tester assembly with unlocked closure molding,
FIG. 3
the tongue tester assembly with locked closure molding at set length x - δ and
FIG. 4
a cross section along the line AA of Figure 3.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Zungenprüferanordnung besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem ersten Stangenstück 1, einem axial und drehfest zu diesem angeordneten zweiten Stangenstück 2, einem Zwischenstück 3 zur Abstandseinstellung zwischen den beiden Stangenstücken 1 und 2 sowie einem Verschlussformteil 4 zur Lagefixierung des Zwischenstückes 3 relativ zu dem ersten Stangenstück 1. Das Zwischenstück 3 ist nach Art einer Überwurfmutter mit den beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Enden 5 und 6 der Stangenstücke 1 und 2 verschraubt. Dazu ist das Zwischenstück 3 mit einem Rechtsgewinde 7 und einem Linksgewinde 8 ausgestattet. Das Verschlussformteil 4 ist über ein radiales Gelenk 9 an dem Stangenstück 1 schwenkbar befestigt. In Figur 1 ist das Verschlussformteil 4 in verriegelter Schwenklage dargestellt, wobei eine Klammer 10 am freien Ende des Verschlussformteils 4 die vorzugsweise sechskantige Außenkontur des Zwischenstücks 3 formschlüssig umgreift. Die eingestellte Länge x ist somit gesichert, da die Klammer 10 verhindert, dass das Zwischenstück 3 durch Erschütterungen oder andere mechanische Einflüsse unbeabsichtigt verdreht werden kann. Um eine andere Länge, beispielsweise x - δ einzustellen, wird das Verschlussformteil 4, wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, von der Klammerhalterung weggeschwenkt. Der Schwenkwinkel kann beispielsweise 90° betragen. Durch Drehung des Zwischenstücks 3 in einer bestimmten Richtung werden die Enden 5 und 6 der Stangenstücke 1 und 2 mit Hilfe des Linksgewindes 8 und des Rechtsgewindes 7 des Zwischenstückes dichter aneinander herangezogen. Die neue Länge x - δ bei zurückgeschwenkten Verschlussformteil veranschaulicht Figur 3. Das Zurückschwenken des Verschlussformteils 4 bewirkt quasi ein Einrasten der Klammer 10 des Verschlussformteils 4 in Umklammerung der sechskantigen Außenkontur des Zwischenstücks 3. Wie Figur 4 zeigt, ist die Klammer 10 dazu mit zwei Federarmen 11 und 12 ausgestattet, welche mittels aufspreizbarer Festhalteenden 13 und 14 das Zwischenstück 3 drehsicher fixieren. The tongue checker arrangement shown in FIG. 1 essentially comprises a first rod piece 1, a second rod piece 2 arranged axially and non-rotatably therewith, an intermediate piece 3 for spacing adjustment between the two rod pieces 1 and 2 and a closure molding 4 for fixing the position of the intermediate piece 3 relative to the latter The first piece of rod 1. The intermediate piece 3 is screwed in the manner of a union nut with the two opposite ends 5 and 6 of the rod pieces 1 and 2. For this purpose, the intermediate piece 3 is equipped with a right-hand thread 7 and a left-hand thread 8. The closure molding 4 is pivotally mounted on the rod piece 1 via a radial joint 9. In Figure 1, the closure mold part 4 is shown in locked pivot position, wherein a clip 10 at the free end of the closure mold part 4, the preferably hexagonal outer contour of the intermediate piece 3 engages positively. The set length x is thus secured, since the clamp 10 prevents the intermediate piece 3 from being inadvertently twisted by vibrations or other mechanical influences. In order to set a different length, for example x-δ, the closure molding 4, as shown in Figure 2, pivoted away from the clip holder. The swivel angle can be for example 90 °. By rotating the intermediate piece 3 in a certain direction, the ends 5 and 6 of the bar pieces 1 and 2 are tightened by means of the left-hand thread 8 and the right-hand thread 7 of the intermediate piece. FIG. 3 illustrates the new length x - δ when the closure mold part is pivoted back. The pivoting back of the closure mold part 4 virtually causes the clamp 10 of the closure mold part 4 to engage in place in the clamped position The hexagonal outer contour of the intermediate piece 3. As Figure 4 shows, the bracket 10 is equipped with two spring arms 11 and 12, which fix the intermediate piece 3 by means of spreadable retaining ends 13 and 14 the rotation.
