Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Eisenbahnschwelle, ausgebildet als Hohlschwelle mit eingebauten Funktionselementen wie einen Weichenverschluss, Prüferstangen oder Kabelquerungen, wobei die Hohlschwelle mit Transport-Eingreiföffnungen versehen ist.The invention relates to a railway sleeper, designed as a hollow sleeper with built-in functional elements such as a point closure, Prüfer rods or cable crossings, wherein the hollow sleeper is provided with transport engagement openings.

Zum Gleisbau werden Eisenbahnschwellen mannigfaltigster, bekannter Art (vgl. beispielsweise EP 0 904 460 B1 , DE 43 15 200 C2 ) eingesetzt, z.B. Vollschwellen aus Beton oder Holz und zum Einbau von Funktionselementen geeignete Hohlschwellen. Bei der Montage bzw. Verlegung werden die Eisenbahnschwellen häufig mit Schwellentragzangen gehandhabt bzw. transportiert. Die Unterseite von Holz- oder Betonschwellen ist entweder genau so breit oder breiter wie die Oberseite, was ein einfaches Unterhaken mit einer Schwellentragzange ermöglicht. Allerdings bringt das den Nachteil mit sich, daß die Eisenbahnschwelle nicht eben auf dem Erdboden stehen kann, weil die Haken der Schwellentragzangen die Eisenbahnschwelle dann nicht untergreifen können. Wenn die Eisenbahnschwellen im Schotter liegen, müssen sie bis zur Unterseite vom Schotter freigeräumt werden, um untergehakt werden zu könnenFor track construction railway sleepers are manifold, known type (see, for example EP 0 904 460 B1 . DE 43 15 200 C2 ), eg full sleepers made of concrete or wood and suitable for installation of functional elements hollow sleepers. When installing or laying the railway sleepers are often handled or transported with threshold support tongs. The underside of wooden or concrete sleepers is either just as wide or wider than the top, which allows for easy under hooking with a threshold carrying tongs. However, this has the disadvantage that the railroad tie can not stand on the ground, because the hooks of the threshold support tongs then can not reach under the railroad tie. If the railway sleepers are in the gravel, they must be cleared to the bottom of the gravel in order to be able to be hooked

Eine durch die US 2 566 622 A bekannt gewordene Eisenbahnschwelle besitzt in ihren Seitenwandungen einander gegenüberliegend vorgesehene Sacklöcher, in die sich Hebezungen oder dergleichen einsetzen lassen, um die Eisenbahnschwelle zu transportieren.One by the US 2 566 622 A has become known railway sleeper has in its side walls opposite each other provided blind holes, can be used in the lifting tongues or the like to transport the railway sleeper.

Aus der EP 0 904 460 A ist eine geschlossene Kastenschwelle für Weicheneinrichtungen bekannt, in der elektrische Heizstäbe angeordnet sind. Damit sich Heizstabzuleitungen, wie Kabel, einbringen lassen, ist die Kastenschwelle mit Eingangsöffnungen versehen. Diese sind geneigt ausgebildet, was es ermöglicht, ein die Kabel aufnehmendes Kabelschutzrohr in einem relativ weichen Bogen in die Eingangsöffnung einzuschieben.From the EP 0 904 460 A is a closed box threshold for switching devices known, are arranged in the electric heating elements. In order to allow heating element leads, such as cables, to be introduced, the box sill is provided with inlet openings. These are inclined, which makes it possible to insert a cable receiving cable protection tube in a relatively soft arc in the inlet opening.

Eine besondere Schwierigkeit tritt beim Transport einer Hohlschwelle auf, da deren Oberseite aufgrund der funktionsbedingten Geometrie breiter als die Unterseite ist, was ein Unterhaken außerordentlich erschwert bzw. sogar völlig unmöglich macht.A particular difficulty occurs when transporting a hollow sleeper, as their upper side is wider than the bottom due to the function-related geometry, which makes an under hook extremely difficult or even completely impossible.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine als Hohlschwelle ausgebildete Eisenbahnschwelle derart zu gestalten, daß in jedem Fall ein einfacher Transport und ohne die genannten Nachteile möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the problem of designing a trained as a hollow sleeper railway sleeper so that in each case a simple transport and without the disadvantages mentioned is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Eingreiföffnungen als von der Schwellenoberseite ausgehende, sich in den Seitenwandungen über eine Teillänge, vorzugsweise im oberen Drittel der Seitenwandungen, nach unten erstreckende Längsschlitze ausgebildet sind. Es lässt sich damit die größere Breite der Oberseite der Eisenbahn-Hohlschwelle kompensieren, da die Zangenarme des Transportmittels in die Längsschlitze eintauchen und sich unter der Oberseitenplatte der Hohlschwelle einhaken können. Damit lässt sich erreichen, daß abweichend von der jahrzehntelangen Praxis die Hohlschwelle bei der Montage oder dergleichen nicht mehr durch Unterhaken transportiert werden muß, sondern durch Einhaken des Transportmittels, wie eine gängige Schwellentragzange, in die Eingreiföffnungen, die sich entfernt vom Boden bzw. Schotter vorsehen lassen, vorzugsweise beidseitig, einander gegenüberliegend in den Seitenwandungen der Hohlschwelle.This object is achieved in that the engagement openings are formed as extending from the threshold top, in the side walls over a partial length, preferably in the upper third of the side walls, downwardly extending longitudinal slots are formed. It can thus compensate for the greater width of the top of the railroad hollow sleeper, as the gun arms of the transport can dive into the longitudinal slots and can hook under the top plate of the hollow sleeper. This makes it possible to achieve that deviating from decades of practice, the hollow sleeper during assembly or the like no longer must be transported by under hooks, but by hooking the transport, such as a common threshold support pliers, in the Eingreiföffnungen that provide away from the ground or gravel let, preferably on both sides, opposite each other in the side walls of the hollow sleeper.

Nach einem Vorschlag der Erfindung ist jeweils ein Paar Eingreiföffnungen im schwellenendnahen Bereich entfernt von den Schienen vorgesehen. Die Eisenbahnschwelle lässt sich damit ungehindert von irgendwelchen Ein- bzw. Aufbauten von somit einer an jedem Schwellenende anzusetzenden Tragzange ergreifen und gewichtsausgewogen transportieren.According to one proposal of the invention, a pair of engagement openings in the vicinity of the threshold are provided away from the rails. The railway sleeper can thus be unhindered by any inputs or structures of thus engage a to be applied to each end of the sleeper support and transport weight balanced.

Eine im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellte Eisenbahnschwelle 1 in Form einer Hohlschwelle besitzt einen sich von oben nach unten, d.h. zum Boden hin verjüngenden Querschnitt (vgl. Fig. 4) und somit eine größere Breite ihrer Oberseite 2 als die der Unterseite 3. Auf den Oberseiten der in der Regel in einem Schotterbett verlegten Eisenbahnschwellen 1 werden Schienen 5a, 5b (vgl. Fig. 1) mittels Befestigungseinrichtungen 4 (vgl. die Fig. 2 und 3) verankert. Im Innenraum der Eisenbahnschwelle 1 sind hier Kabelführungen 6 angeordnet.A railway sleeper 1 in the form of a hollow sleeper shown in the exemplary embodiment has a cross-section which tapers from top to bottom, ie towards the bottom (cf. Fig. 4 ) and thus a greater width of their top 2 than that of the bottom 3. On the tops of the laid usually in a ballast railway sleepers 1 rails 5a, 5b (see. Fig. 1 ) by means of fastening devices 4 (cf. FIGS. 2 and 3 anchored). In the interior of the railway sleeper 1 cable guides 6 are arranged here.

Zur Handhabung und zum Transport der Eisenbahnschwelle 1 bei der Montage sind an jeder ihrer Seitenwandungen 7a, 7b im schwellenendnahen Bereich einander gegenüberliegend zwei Transportmittel-Eingreiföffnungen 8a, 8b bzw. 9a, 9b ausgebildet. Diese sind im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 5 als Längsschlitze ausgeführt, die sich von der Oberseite 2 der Einsenbahnschwelle 1 her im oberen Drittel der Seitenwandungen 7a, 7b nach unten erstrecken.For handling and transport of the railway sleeper 1 during assembly, two transport means engagement openings 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b are formed on each of its side walls 7a, 7b in the area close to the threshold, opposite one another. These are in the embodiment according to Fig. 5 designed as longitudinal slots extending from the upper side 2 of the Einsenbahnschwelle 1 forth in the upper third of the side walls 7a, 7b down.

Die Transport- und Handhabungssituation einer solchen Eisenbahnschwelle 1 ist in Fig. 6 schematisch dargestellt. Es tauchen hier Zangenarme 10a, 10b einer als Transportmittel verwendeten Schwellentragzange mit ihren endseitigen Hakennasen 11a, 11b in die Eingreiföffnungen 8a, 8b ein und ergreifen die Eisenbahnschwelle 1 somit an von der Unterseite 3 weit entfernten Punkten.The transport and handling situation of such a railway sleeper 1 is in Fig. 6 shown schematically. Here pliers arms 10a, 10b of a threshold carrying tong used as a means of transport with their end hook hooks 11a, 11b enter into the engagement openings 8a, 8b and thus grasp the railroad tie 1 at points distant from the underside 3.
