Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schienenanordnung für in Straßendecken eingebettete Schienen, bestehend wenigstens aus:

  • einer Schiene, insbesondere Rillenschiene, umfassend einen Schienenkopf, Schienensteg und Schienenfuß, wobei vorzugsweise unterhalb des Schienenfußes eine Unterlage aus elastomerem Werkstoff angeordnet ist;
  • zwei Kammern, die beidseitig zwischen der Schiene und der Straßendecke vorhanden sind, wobei sich in jeder Kammer ein Füllprofil aus elastomerem Werkstoff befindet, das in Profillängsrichtung insbesondere wenigstens eine Nut und/oder einen Kanal sowie Haltelippen aufweist; sowie
  • beidseitig in Abstand angeordnete Schienenbefestigungen.
The invention relates to a rail arrangement for rails embedded in road surfaces, comprising at least:
  • a rail, in particular grooved rail, comprising a rail head, rail web and rail foot, wherein preferably a pad made of elastomeric material is arranged below the rail foot;
  • two chambers, which are present on both sides between the rail and the road surface, wherein in each chamber is a filling profile of elastomeric material having in the profile longitudinal direction in particular at least one groove and / or channel and retaining lips; such as
  • on both sides spaced rail fasteners.

Eine gattungsgemäße Schienenanordnung ist beispielsweise aus den Patentschriften EP 0 707 675 B1 , EP 1 025 314 B1 und EP 1 121 491 B1 sowie aus der DE-A 1 981 583 bekannt.A generic rail arrangement is for example from the patents EP 0 707 675 B1 . EP 1 025 314 B1 and EP 1 121 491 B1 as well as from the DE-A 1 981 583 known.

Bei Gleissystemen in Straßendecken gemäß dem Stand der Technik muss bei der Erneuerung der Schienen zumeist die Straßendecke aufgebrochen werden. Zumindest ist eine Demontage des Gleises ohne erhebliche Zerstörung der Straßendecke bislang nicht möglich. Hiermit sind hohe Kosten sowie ein nicht mehr vertretbarer Zeitaufwand verbunden.In railway track systems according to the prior art, when the rails are renewed, it is usually necessary to break up the road surface. At least disassembly of the track without substantial destruction of the road surface is not yet possible. This involves high costs and an unreasonable expenditure of time.

Im Hintergrund der oben genannten Problematik besteht nun die Aufgabe darin, eine Schienenanordnung bereitzustellen, bei der die Austauschbarkeit von Schienen in der Straße ohne Zerstörung des Straßenbelages möglich ist. Außerdem soll hiermit zusätzlich ein Weg zur Erhöhung der elektrischen Isolation und Reduzierung der Körperschallimmissionen erschlossen werden.In the background of the above problem, the object is now to provide a rail arrangement in which the interchangeability of rails in the road without destruction of the road surface is possible. In addition, this is also a way to increase the electrical insulation and reduce the structure-borne noise emissions are opened.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe gemäß Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 dadurch, dass

  • jedes Füllprofil auf einem Stahlprofil aufsitzt, das von einer Straßenbelagauflage in Richtung Eckbereich von Schienensteg und Schienenfuß verläuft, und zwar unter Ausbildung einer Schienenbefestigungskammer; wobei
  • jedes Stahlprofil im Eckbereich von Schienensteg und Schienenfuß mit einem Fußprofil aus elastomerem Werkstoff abgefedert ist.
This object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1, characterized in that
  • each filling profile is seated on a steel profile which extends from a paving support towards the corner region of rail web and rail foot, forming a rail fastening chamber; in which
  • Each steel profile in the corner area of rail web and rail foot is cushioned with a foot profile of elastomeric material.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen 2 bis 10 genannt.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are mentioned in the dependent claims 2 to 10.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles unter Bezugnahme auf eine schematische Zeichnung erläutert. Als Schienenanordnung wird dabei das Umfeld einer Einzelschiene angesehen. Für die zweite parallel verlaufende Schiene gilt das gleiche Umfeld, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob es sich um eine eingleisige oder zweigleisige Strecke handelt.The invention will now be explained with reference to an embodiment with reference to a schematic drawing. As a rail arrangement while the environment of a single rail is considered. The same environment applies to the second parallel track, regardless of whether it is a single track or a double track.

Die einzige Abbildung zeigt eine Schienenanordnung 1 mit einer Rillenschiene 2, die wiederum einen Schienenkopf 3, Schienensteg 4 und einen Schienenfuß 5 umfasst. Die Schiene ist dabei in die Straßendecke 6 eingebettet.The single figure shows a rail arrangement 1 with a grooved rail 2, which in turn comprises a rail head 3, rail web 4 and a rail foot 5 . The rail is embedded in the road surface 6 .

Unterhalb des Schienenfußes 5 ist eine Unterlage 7 aus elastomerem Werkstoff angeordnet, und zwar zwecks elastischer Lagerung der Schiene. Die Unterlage ist dabei profiliert ( EP 1 121 491 B1 ) oder mit strangförmig verlaufenden Kanälen ( EP 1 025 314 B1 ) versehen. Die Unterlage umgreift dabei den Schienenfuß beidseitig mittels eines Flansches 8, der einstückig mit der Unterlage verbunden ist.Below the rail base 5 , a pad 7 is disposed of elastomeric material, for the purpose of elastic mounting of the rail. The base is profiled ( EP 1 121 491 B1 ) or with strand-like channels ( EP 1 025 314 B1 ) Mistake. The pad engages the rail foot on both sides by means of a flange 8 which is integrally connected to the pad.

Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist der Einbau eines Stahlprofils 9, das von einer Straßenbelagauflage 10 in Richtung Eckbereich 11 von Schienensteg 4 und Schienenfuß 5 verläuft, und zwar unter Ausbildung einer Schienenbefestigungskammer 12. In dieser Kammer befindet sich die Schienenbefestigung 13, die wegen des zur Verfügung stehenden Freiraumes variabel gestaltet werden kann. Die Straßenbelagauflage für das Stahlprofil ist vorzugsweise ein Teil eines separaten Straßenbelagrandprofils 14 aus Stahl, das die Kammerbegrenzung bildet. Das Stahlprofil ist als Winkelprofil ausgebildet, das einen horizontalen und abfallenden Bereich aufweist. Die Höhe des horizontalen Bereiches richtet sich nach dem Raumbedarf der Schienenbefestigung aus.Of essential importance is the installation of a steel profile 9, which extends from a pavement 10 in the corner 11 of rail web 4 and 5 rail, to form a rail mounting chamber 12. In this chamber is the rail mounting 13, because of the available Freiraumes can be made variable. The paving support for the steel profile is preferably part of a separate steel pavement edge profile 14 that forms the chamber boundary. The steel profile is formed as an angle profile, which has a horizontal and sloping area. The height of the horizontal area depends on the space requirements of the rail fastening.

Auf dem Stahlprofil sitzt nun innerhalb seines horizontalen Bereiches das Füllprofil 15 aus elastomerem Werkstoff auf, das die Kammer 16 partiell ausfüllt, indem es nicht bis an den Schienensteg 4 reicht, und zwar unter Ausbildung einer Schienenstegkammer 17. Jedes Füllprofil 15 ist mit einer Nut 18 und einem Kanal 19 und mehreren Haltelippen 20 und 21 ausgestattet, die jeweils in Profillängsrichtung verlaufen.On the steel profile now sits within its horizontal region, the filling profile 15 of elastomeric material, which partially fills the chamber 16 by not reaching to the rail web 4 , to form a rail web chamber 17. Each filling profile 15 is provided with a groove 18th and a channel 19 and a plurality of retaining lips 20 and 21 , each extending in the profile longitudinal direction.

Jedes Stahlprofil 9 ist im Eckbereich 11 vom Schienensteg 4 und Schienenfuß 5 mit einem Fußprofil 22 aus elastomerem Werkstoff abgefedert. Zwecks Verankerung ist das Fußprofil mit einem in Profillängsrichtung verlaufenden Schlitz 23 versehen, der das eine Ende des Stahlprofils umgreift. Zwischen diesem Fußprofil und dem Flansch 8 ist ein Schienenfußspalt 24 als Teil der Schienenbefestigungskammer 12 vorhanden. Es erfolgt also auf diese Weise eine Trennung von Unterlage 7 und Fußprofil 22. Bedingt durch die Schienenstegkammer 17 hat das Fußprofil ferner keinen Kontakt mit dem Füllprofil 15. Sämtliche Elastomerbauteile, nämlich Unterlage 7, Füllprofil 15 und Fußprofil 22, sind somit getrennt angeordnet und erfüllen auf diese Weise in vorteilhafter Weise ihre jeweiligen Funktionen. Das neuartige Fußprofil 22 bildet dabei die Voraussetzung für eine verbesserte elektrische Isolation.Each steel section 9 is cushioned in the corner region 11 of the rail web 4 and rail 5 with a base profile 22 made of elastomeric material. For anchoring the foot profile is provided with a running in the profile longitudinal slot 23 which engages around one end of the steel profile. Between this foot profile and the flange 8 , a rail foot gap 24 is provided as part of the rail mounting chamber 12 . Thus, there is in this way a separation of pad 7 and the base profile 22. Due to the rail web chamber 17 has the base profile also no contact with the filling profile 15. All elastomeric components, namely base 7, filler section 15 and the base profile 22, are thus arranged separately and meet in this way advantageously their respective functions. The novel foot profile 22 forms the prerequisite for improved electrical insulation.

Mit diesem neuartigen Gesamtaufbau der Schienenanordnung 1 ist nun eine leichte Austauschbarkeit der Schienen gewährleistet. Außerdem sind mit dieser baulichen Maßnahme eine Erhöhung der elektrischen Isolation sowie eine Reduzierung der Körperschallimmissionen verbunden.With this novel overall structure of the rail assembly 1 now easy replacement of the rails is guaranteed. In addition, this structural measure is associated with an increase in the electrical insulation and a reduction of the structure-borne noise emissions.

Die elektrische Isolation kann zusätzlich erhöht werden, wenn zumindest das Fußprofil 22, insbesondere zusätzlich die Unterlage 7 sowie das Füllprofil 15, aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Werkstoff bestehen.The electrical insulation can be additionally increased if at least the base profile 22, in particular additionally the base 7 and the filling profile 15, consist of an electrically insulating material.

Die Unterlage 7, das Füllprofil 15 und Fußprofil 22 bestehen aus einer vulkanisierten Kautschukmischung auf der Basis von Styrol-Butadien-Kautschuk (SBR) oder dessen Verschnitte mit anderen Kautschuktypen, beispielsweise ein Verschnitt mit Butadien-Kautschuk (BR) oder Nitrilkautschuk (NBR) unter Bildung der Verschnitte SBR/BR bzw. SBR/NBR.The base 7, the filling profile 15 and foot profile 22 are made of a vulcanized rubber mixture based on styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) or its blends with other types of rubber, for example, a blend with butadiene rubber (BR) or nitrile rubber (NBR) below Formation of blends SBR / BR or SBR / NBR.
