Auf einem vorderen Ende sind Neuschwellen 6 gelagert, die durch einen Portalkran 7 in einer Vorfahrt 20 zu einem Übergabeende 8 eines in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Neuschwellenförderers 9 transportierbar sind. Der einen Fahrantrieb 10 aufweisende Portalkran 7 ist mittels vier Kranfahrwerken 12 auf zwei mit den Arbeitswagen 2 verbundenen Kranschienen 11 in Maschinenlängsrichtung verfahrbar.One in the Fig. 1 to 3 apparent machine 1, also referred to as track renewal train, is composed of a plurality of coupled to each other work cars 2, which are movable on rail carriages 3 in a working direction 4 on a track 5. Neuschwellen 6 are mounted on a front end, which can be transported by a gantry crane 7 in a right of way 20 to a transfer end 8 of running in the machine longitudinal direction Neuschwellenförderers 9. The gantry crane 10 having a gantry crane 7 is movable by means of four crane trolleys 12 on two crane rails 11 connected to the work cart 2 in the machine longitudinal direction.

Wie insbesondere auch in Fig. 4 ersichtlich, sind die Kranfahrwerke 12 des Portalkranes 7 jeweils an einem Rahmenende 19 durch Fahrwerkstützen 13 mit einem Kranrahmen 14 verbunden. Bezüglich der Maschinenlängsrichtung befinden sich zwischen den Fahrwerkstützen 13 durch Antriebe 15 höhenverstellbare und um eine vertikale Achse 18 verdrehbare Vorrichtungen 16 zum Transport der Neuschwellen 6 bzw. von Altschwellen 17.As in particular in Fig. 4 can be seen, the crane trolleys 12 of the gantry crane 7 are each connected to a frame end 19 by chassis supports 13 with a crane frame 14. With respect to the machine longitudinal direction are located between the chassis supports 13 by 15 drives height adjustable and rotatable about a vertical axis 18 devices 16 for transporting the new sleepers 6 and of old sleepers 17th

Bezüglich der Vertikalen befindet sich zwischen Kranrahmen 14 und Kranfahrwerken 12 eine Vorrichtung 22 zum Transport von Zwischenlagen 23. Diese erstrecken sich in Maschinenlängsrichtung und werden zur Distanzierung zweier benachbarter Lagen von Neuschwellen 6 eingesetzt. Die genannte Vorrichtung 22 ist bezüglich der Vorfahrt 20 des Portalkranes 7 an dessen vorderem Ende angeordnet, sodass die Vorrichtung 16 zum Transport der Neuschwellen 6 zwischen der Vorrichtung 22 für den Transport der Holzzwischenlagen 23 und der Vorrichtung 16 zum Transport der Altschwellen 17 positioniert ist.With respect to the vertical is located between the crane frame 14 and crane trolleys 12, a device 22 for the transport of intermediate layers 23. These extend in the machine longitudinal direction and are for distancing two adjacent layers of Neuschwellen 6 used. Said device 22 is arranged with respect to the right of way 20 of the gantry crane 7 at its front end, so that the device 16 for transporting the new sleepers 6 between the device 22 for transporting the wood liners 23 and the device 16 for transporting the old sleepers 17 is positioned.

Wie in Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtlich, setzt sich die Vorrichtung 22 aus insgesamt zwei - normal zu einer Rahmenlängsrichtung 31 gesehen - voneinander distanzierten Zangenpaaren 24 zusammen. Diese sind wiederum jeweils aus zwei in Rahmenlängsrichtung 31 voneinander distanzierten Zangen 25 gebildet. Jede dieser Zangen 25 besteht aus zwei durch einen Antrieb 26 in einer Maschinenquerrichtung zueinander bewegbaren Zangenteilen 27.As in FIGS. 5 and 6 As can be seen, the device 22 is made up of a total of two pairs of pliers 24 which are distanced from each other and which are normal to a frame longitudinal direction 31. These are in turn each formed from two spaced apart in the frame longitudinal direction 31 pliers 25. Each of these pliers 25 consists of two by a drive 26 in a cross machine direction movable pliers parts 27th

In der aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Darstellung des Portalkranes 7 befindet sich dieser nach Beendigung seiner den Arbeitszyklus einleitenden Vorfahrt 20 auf den Kranschienen 11 in einer Position, bei der die Zangenpaare 24 der Vorrichtung 22 über einer Lage 28 von Neuschwellen 6 zu liegen kommen, die bereits im unmittelbar vorangegangenen Arbeitszyklus des Portalkranes 7 auf den Neuschwellenförderer 9 abgelegt und inzwischen in einer entsprechenden Distanz zur benachbarten Vorrichtung 16 transportiert wurde. Unter Beaufschlagung eines Antriebes 29 werden die Zangenpaare 24 der Vorrichtung 22 abgesenkt, um mit Hilfe der weiteren Antriebe 26 die beiden auf der Lage 28 der Neuschwellen 6 liegenden Zwischenlagen 23 zu erfassen und anzuheben.In the out Fig. 4 apparent representation of the gantry crane 7 is this after completion of his work cycle initiating right of way 20 on the crane rails 11 in a position in which the pairs of pliers 24 of the device 22 to lie over a layer 28 of Neuschwellen 6, already in the immediately preceding cycle of the Gantry crane 7 stored on the Neuschwellenförderer 9 and has now been transported at a corresponding distance to the adjacent device 16. Upon application of a drive 29, the pairs of pliers 24 of the device 22 are lowered in order to detect and lift the two intermediate layers 23 lying on the layer 28 of the new sleepers 6 with the aid of the further drives 26.

Parallel dazu erfolgt sowohl die Ablage von Neuschwellen 6 durch die benachbarte Vorrichtung 16 auf das Übergabeende 8 des Neuschwellenförderers 9 als auch die Aufnahme von Altschwellen 17 durch die entsprechende Vorrichtung 16.In parallel, both the storage of Neuschwellen 6 by the adjacent device 16 to the transfer end 8 of the Neuschwellenförderers 9 as well as the inclusion of old sleepers 17 by the corresponding device 16th

In Fig. 2 ist mit strichpunktierten Linien die Position des Portalkranes 7 nach Beendigung seiner Rückfahrt 21 angedeutet. In dieser Position werden die beiden Zwischenlagen 23 von der Vorrichtung 22 in einen darunter befindlichen Container 30 abgeworfen. Gleichzeitig werden auch die Altschwellen 17 in einem weiteren Container 30 abgelegt und eine neue Lage von Neuschwellen 6 durch die mittige Vorrichtung 16 aufgenommen. Mit der neuerlichen Vorfahrt 20 wird ein neuer Arbeitszyklus des Portalkranes 7 eingeleitet. In der Zwischenzeit wurde die zuvor abgelegte Lage von Neuschwellen 6 solange auf dem Neuschwellenförderer 9 weiterbewegt, bis die obenauf liegenden Zwischenlagen 23 die geeignete Position für deren Erfassung durch die Vorrichtung 22 des Portalkranes 7 aufweisen.In Fig. 2 is indicated by dotted lines the position of the gantry crane 7 after completion of his return journey 21. In this position, the two intermediate layers 23 are dropped by the device 22 in a container 30 located thereunder. At the same time, the old sleepers 17 are deposited in a further container 30 and a new layer of new sleepers 6 is received by the central device 16. With the new right of way 20, a new cycle of the gantry crane 7 is initiated. In the meantime, the previously deposited layer of new sleepers 6 has been moved on the Neuschwellenförderer 9 as long as until the intermediate layers 23 have the appropriate position for their detection by the device 22 of the gantry crane 7.
