Under this effort, the ice disappears by sinking into the flexible material 14 of the lining 13 of gap 12, or it sinks and breaks due to the bending and shear stresses that appear in the bar or the block 37 of ice.
- the ice block 37 is often fragile in relation to these stresses, it breaks locally. This effect is reproduced as the rollers advance, at least that of the two inclined rollers located above the ice piles it continuously ( figure 11 ) and can or can thus through the penetration into the material pass without losing contact with the raceway or at worst without derailing.
- the rollers are neither deteriorated nor deviated from their normal trajectory.
- the ice breaks 38 are then removed by the passage of the guide rollers according to the same self-cleaning process as previously.
- the object or the material is temporarily pressed on or depressed in the flexible material 14 of the lining 13 of the gap 12 and does not hinder the displacement of the guide roller.
- the latter is neither damaged nor deviated from its normal course.
- the debris (s) or solid object (s) of small size in contact with the shank (s) is or are generally expelled (s) or ejected (s) out of the the gap 12 by the elastic force from the flexibility of the material 14 of the lining 13 of the gap 12, which characterizes the self-cleaning nature of the filling 12 gap 12 for guide rail according to the invention.
- the object 36 disappears in the thickness of the material 14 of the packing 13 during the passage of the lug 15 which exerts a pressure on it by compressing the filling material of the gap. Then, either this object resumes its previous position after the passage of the rollers, or is sufficiently embedded in the flexible material to not interfere with the rollers during their passage and the next roller passages (s). In all cases, the passage of pebbles is made possible.
- the material 14 of the lining 13 of gap 12 can wrap and in addition to maintain any kind and shape of rails and may be suitable for all types of guidance and rolling roller (s) with a cup (s).
- the lining material 14 is generally a material added to at least partially fill each gap 12.

Description
L'invention se rapporte à un garnissage de lacune pour un rail utilisé pour le guidage ou le roulage d'un véhicule ferroviaire ou de transport en commun urbain par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un galet ou une roue ferroviaire à mentonnet(s).The invention relates to a gap lining for a rail used for guiding or rolling a railway vehicle or urban public transport by means of at least one roller or a lattice wheel (s) .
La surface supérieure du rail est en général affleurante par rapport au sol ou dépasse légèrement du niveau de ce dernier.The upper surface of the rail is generally flush with the ground or slightly above the level of the latter.
Dans une application particulière, l'invention concerne un garnissage de lacune pour rail de guidage noyé dans le sol à chants formant pistes de roulement pour un ensemble de guidage d'un véhicule sur pneus par un seul ou un couple de galets inclinés.In a particular application, the invention relates to a guideway void lining embedded in the ground with running track edges for a guide assembly of a wheeled vehicle by a single or a pair of inclined rollers.
Classiquement, pour le guidage ou le roulage par ou avec un ou des galet(s) à mentonnet(s), il doit exister un espace libre entre le mentonnet, la bordure adjacente de l'engravure de logement du rail et la fixation du rail. Cet espace porte le nom de « lacune ». Cette ou ces lacunes forme(nt) une ou deux gorge(s) de part et d'autre le long du rail (voir
En raison de son exposition aux intempéries et au milieu ambiant, il arrive couramment que la lacune soit localement obstruée par une accumulation de débris végétaux, de glace, de neige, de cailloux ou d'autres corps ou objets étrangers pouvant constituer un obstacle pour le ou les mentonnet(s) lors du passage du ou des galets de guidage ou roues ferroviaires. Une telle obstruction peut conduire à des problèmes majeurs, tels que l'endommagement des galets ou des roues et plus grave, à leur déraillement.Due to its exposure to the weather and the surrounding environment, it is common for the gap to be locally obstructed by an accumulation of plant debris, ice, snow, pebbles or other foreign objects or objects that may be an obstacle to the environment. or the lug (s) during the passage of the guide roller or wheels. Such obstruction can lead to major problems, such as damage to the wheels or wheels and more serious, to their derailment.
Pour ne pas rencontrer ces problèmes, un nettoyage régulier de la lacune le long du réseau du rail de guidage ou du rail de roulage est nécessaire. Cependant, ce nettoyage est long et coûteux et ne peut pas être effectué lors du fonctionnement du réseau de transport notamment celui empruntant le rail. En outre, même un nettoyage régulier n'assure pas une propreté totale des lacunes qui sont exposées en permanence aux intempéries, aux jets de détritus et sujettes aux tentatives de dégradations malveillantes.To avoid these problems, a regular cleaning of the gap along the network of guide rail or rolling rail is required. However, this cleaning is long and expensive and can not be done during the operation of the transport network including that using the rail. In addition, even regular cleaning does not ensure total cleanliness of the deficiencies that are permanently exposed to bad weather, jets of detritus and subject to attempts of malicious degradation.
L'élément de protection avant dit "chasse pierre" permet d'enlever du rail et plus généralement de la voie de guidage ou de roulage des obstacles durs et d'une certaine taille. Cependant, cette protection est complètement inefficace contre les débris et petits objets pouvant se trouver dans l'un ou l'autre canal longeant le rail et présentant un danger potentiel pour la fonction de guidage et pour les galets ou roues du véhicule.The front protection element known as "stone hunting" allows to remove from the rail and more generally from the guide way or rolling hard obstacles and a certain size. However, this protection is completely ineffective against debris and small objects that may be in one or other channel along the rail and presenting a potential danger for the guiding function and for the wheels or wheels of the vehicle.
On ressent ainsi le besoin d'une lacune qui permette le franchissement de ces objets en toute sécurité.We thus feel the need for a gap that allows the crossing of these objects safely.
La présente invention a pour but de fournir un garnissage de la lacune longeant un rail de guidage ou de roulage en position affleurante avec le sol.The present invention aims to provide a filling of the gap along a guide rail or taxiing flush with the ground.
Cette lacune est selon l'invention garnie d'une matière spécifique qui garantit le passage libre des mentonnets des roues ou galets et lui confère un caractère autonettoyant qui se réalise lors du passage de ces roues ou galets à mentonnet(s).This gap is according to the invention provided with a specific material that guarantees the free passage of the chins of the wheels or rollers and gives it a self-cleaning character that is achieved during the passage of these wheels or pebbles (s).
L'intégration urbaine du dispositif de guidage au sol par rail affleurant présente ses propres avantages et permet grâce à l'invention d'assurer la sécurité du guidage et du roulage même dans les lieux les plus exposés aux débris de toute sorte et aux intempéries.The urban integration of the ground guide device by flush rail has its own advantages and allows thanks to the invention to ensure the safety of guidance and rolling even in places most exposed to debris of any kind and weathering.
La matière de garnissage de lacune présente des propriétés de compressibilité et élasticité lui permettant d'assurer l'évacuation des objets lors ou après le passage du ou des galets ou roues ou bien leur effacement ou enfoncement dans la matière lors de ce passage.The gap packing material has compressibility and elasticity properties enabling it to to ensure the evacuation of objects during or after the passage of the wheel or wheels or their deletion or depression in the material during this passage.
Toutes les façons d'obtenir la nature et les propriétés de base pour la matière de ce garnissage, à savoir sa compressibilité et élasticité, sont visées par l'invention.All the ways of obtaining the nature and the basic properties for the material of this packing, namely its compressibility and elasticity, are the subject of the invention.
La forme technique du garnissage de lacune est telle qu'elle n'interfère pas avec l'emprise dynamique des galets. La matière du garnissage est choisie de sorte qu'elle n'interfère jamais avec cette emprise, quelles que soient les conditions d'environnement, notamment les conditions climatiques et les conditions d'utilisation du véhicule dans les limites prescrites par le constructeur. En particulier le garnissage ne gonfle pas et ne se dilate pas ou très peu, quelles que soient les conditions d'environnement ou d'utilisation, en particulier sous l'effet des variations thermiques ou des précipitations.The technical form of the gap packing is such that it does not interfere with the dynamic grip of the rollers. The material of the lining is chosen so that it never interferes with this right-of-way, whatever the environmental conditions, in particular the climatic conditions and the conditions of use of the vehicle within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer. In particular the lining does not swell and does not expand or very little, whatever the environmental conditions or use, especially under the effect of thermal variations or precipitation.
Avantageusement, dans les cas appropriés, cette matière peut être prévue pour isoler électriquement le rail du sol.Advantageously, in appropriate cases, this material can be provided to electrically isolate the rail from the ground.
Selon certains modes de réalisation préférentiels de l'invention, la matière de garnissage peut présenter une ou plusieurs des propriétés suivantes : Elle peut être électriquement isolante, à faible dilatation thermique, imperméable, et/ou elle peut ne pas retenir l'eau à l'intérieur.According to some preferred embodiments of the invention, the packing material may have one or more of the following properties: It may be electrically insulating, low thermal expansion, impermeable, and / or it may not retain water at all. inside.
Lorsque le rail assure non seulement une fonction de guidage mais qu'il supporte en outre le véhicule pendant son roulage, on peut imaginer que le garnissage de lacune n'assure pas le maintien du rail, celui-ci étant obtenu d'une autre façon.When the rail not only provides a guiding function but also supports the vehicle while driving, it is conceivable that the gap filling does not ensure the maintenance of the rail, it is obtained in another way .
Par contre, lorsque le rail n'assure que la fonction de guidage du véhicule, on peut aisément envisager de fixer le rail au moyen de la matière de garnissage lors du garnissage de la lacune. On peut par exemple charger le fond de l'engravure destinée à loger le rail avec de la matière de garnissage, poser le rail sur le lit ainsi constitué tout en positionnant précisément le rail dans l'engravure, puis charger avec de la matière de garnissage la ou les lacune(s) bordant longitudinalement le rail, ainsi que tout autre volume libre inutile de l'engravure.On the other hand, when the rail ensures only the vehicle guidance function, it can easily be envisaged to fix the rail by means of the lining material during the filling of the gap. We can for example load the bottom of the engravure intended to accommodate the rail with the lining material, put the rail on the bed thus formed while precisely positioning the rail in the engravure, then load with packing material the gap (s) bordering longitudinally the rail, as well as any other unnecessary free volume of the engravure.

Le garnissage de lacune pour rail de guidage ou de roulage selon la présente invention va maintenant être décrit de façon détaillée en référence aux
Le garnissage de lacune s'applique aux rails de guidage par galets à mentonnet(s) disposés verticaux ou inclinés mais aussi à ceux de roulage ferroviaire c'est-à-dire aux roues ferroviaires à mentonnet roulant sur un rail en position verticale ou inclinée seules ou en couples.The gap packing is applied to guide rails by pegs with lug (s) arranged vertically or inclined but also to those of rail rolling that is to say the rail wheels with a rim rolling on a rail in a vertical or inclined position alone or in pairs.

Les rails 1 et 2 visés par l'invention sont ceux du type comportant notamment une base ou semelle d'appui 3 maintenue à un niveau inférieur à celui de la surface du sol du type montés ou logés dans une engravure 4 formée dans une base solide 5 .The

De préférence, les rails utilisés dans l'invention sont ceux du type venant par leur partie supérieure à peu près à fleur avec la surface du sol.Preferably, the rails used in the invention are those of the type coming from their upper part approximately flush with the surface of the ground.

These are conventional railway wheels with a rolling
Comme on le verra ci-après, il existe un véritable effet d'affaissement des débris et objets gênants présents sur la surface supérieure du garnissage ou du remplissage avec évacuation lors du et après le passage de la roue ferroviaire.As will be seen below, there is a real effect of sagging debris and annoying objects present on the upper surface of the lining or filling with evacuation during and after the passage of the rail wheel.
La matière de garnissage 14 de lacune 12 qui, en particulier dans le cas de galets ou de roues à mentonnet(s) 15 n'assurant qu'une fonction de guidage, peut aussi bien être la matière de remplissage 10. Elle doit présenter au moins des propriétés de compressibilité lui conférant des aptitudes à se comprimer sous la pression de l'objet forcé contre elle par le passage du mentonnet 15 et éviter ainsi le soulèvement du galet de guidage ou de la roue ferroviaire qui pourrait conduire au déraillement. Cette matière 14 ne devant en aucun cas interférer avec l'emprise des galets ou roues à mentonnet dans toutes les conditions d'environnement et d'utilisation prescrites par le constructeur, il est souhaitable que cette matière présente une faible dilatation thermique, qu'elle soit résistante aux agressions du milieu extérieur, et qu'elle ne retienne pas l'eau provenant par exemple des précipitations afin d'éviter en cas de gel tout gonflement de la matière de garnissage 14 susceptible de générer une interférence avec l'emprise dynamique des mentonnets.The
Cette matière au moins compressible, peut présenter en plus des propriétés d'élasticité et d'isolation électrique et/ou phonique. Il peut s'agir par exemple d'une matière polymère, présentant une résistance physique importante contre le déchirement et l'arrachement, et une résistance durable aux températures, aux rayons lumineux, notamment aux rayons ultraviolets, et aux agressions du milieu extérieur en général.This material is at least compressible and can also have elastic and electrical and / or acoustic insulation properties. It may be for example a polymeric material, having a high physical resistance against tearing and tearing, and a durable resistance to temperatures, light rays, especially ultraviolet rays, and attacks of the external environment in general .
On peut citer à titre d'exemples de matières pouvant convenir : les matières plastiques cellulaires notamment les mousses à cellules fermées, par exemple une mousse de polyuréthane, les polymères, les élastomères, les plastomères, les résines polymères, les matières composites, les matières comportant des charges minérales ou organiques.Examples of suitable materials are: cellular plastics, in particular closed-cell foams, for example a polyurethane foam, polymers, elastomers, plastomers, polymer resins, composite materials, materials having mineral or organic fillers.
Préférentiellement, la matière de garnissage 14 de lacune 12 est réalisée en une mousse à cellules fermées ou en une résine polymère. Elle peut aussi être réalisée en matière composite ou en dérivés ou équivalents de la gomme ou du caoutchouc.Preferably, the

Bien entendu, dans cette application, l'invention ne se limite pas à un seul type de rail de guidage mais concerne plus spécifiquement le remplissage partiel ou complet de l'engravure 4 par une seule matière de propriétés adaptées ou par deux matières l'une de remplissage et l'autre de garnissage, cette dernière présentant la propriété principale de compressibilité recherchée.Of course, in this application, the invention is not limited to a single type of guide rail but more specifically relates to the partial or complete filling of the
L'invention ne se limite pas non plus à un ensemble de guidage particulier à deux galets inclinés, mais vise au contraire tous les types de guidage par rail au sol monté affleurant.The invention is also not limited to a particular guide assembly with two inclined rollers, but on the contrary aims all types of guide rail mounted flush ground.
Le garnissage 13 de lacune 12 avec sa matière de garnissage 14 permet au besoin, mais non obligatoirement, d'assurer le maintien du rail de guidage 2 dans la chaussée. Dans ce cas qui est celui des rails faiblement chargés à savoir les rails n'assurant qu'une fonction de guidage, le garnissage enveloppe la partie inférieure et médiane du rail et occupe l'engravure 4 prévue dans la base solide 5 de sorte que dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle, seule affleure la partie supérieure du rail de guidage 2, et notamment les chants latéraux inclinés 27 et 28 sur lesquels roulent les galets de guidage 23 et 24 leur servant de piste de roulement.The lining 13 of
Dans sa partie supérieure, le volume de masse de matière occupant l'engravure 4 présente une forme en V à pointe dirigée vers le bas s'ouvrant en son milieu sur la partie saillante du rail de guidage 2 en délimitant le long du rail deux rampes inclinées descendantes 29 et 30 terminées latéralement chacune à proximité de l'âme du rail à chaque fois par une gorge 31 et 32 servant de gouttière pour la collecte et l'évacuation des liquides et petits débris. La forme en V de la partie supérieure du garnissage 13 de la lacune 12 permet d'éviter toute interférence avec l'emprise dynamique des galets de guidage 23 et 24.In its upper part, the volume of mass of material occupying the
Avantageusement, en cas de dégradation du garnissage 13 de lacune selon l'invention, il est possible d'effectuer des réparations locales par coulage d'une matière qui polymérise à température ambiante. Ainsi, il est possible de réparer un < selon l'invention > garnissage 13 de lacune détérioré sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le changer.Advantageously, in case of degradation of the lining 13 of the gap according to the invention, it is possible to make local repairs by casting a material which polymerizes at room temperature. Thus, it is possible to repair a <according to the invention> lining 13 deteriorated gap without it being necessary to change it.
Avantageusement, ce garnissage 13 peut être fabriqué industriellement par moulage, extrusion, coextrusion ou, selon l'invention être coulé sur place ou par tout autre procédé industriel approprié.Advantageously, this packing 13 can be manufactured industrially by molding, extrusion, coextrusion or, according to the invention, be cast on site or by any other appropriate industrial process.
Il peut ensuite être cintré pour s'adapter au tracé souhaité pour le réseau de rail et logé à force dans l'engravure 4 de la base solide 5 elle-même occupant la tranchée dans la chaussée.It can then be bent to fit the desired pattern for the rail network and forcibly housed in the
Le garnissage 13 de lacune selon la présente invention s'applique aussi aux galets de guidage 33 à deux mentonnets 34 et 35 comme illustré par la
On décrira maintenant la fonction de libération de l'espace nécessaire au passage du mentonnet 15 ainsi que le comportement des objets lié aux propriétés et à la forme du garnissage 13 de lacune 12 selon l'invention.The function of releasing the space required for the passage of the
Les
Cette figure est une coupe au niveau d'un objet solide 36 matérialisé sous la forme d'un cylindre d'essai calibré, juste avant que l'un de galets de guidage n'entre en contact avec lui.This figure is a section at a
Lors du passage des galets de guidage inclinés 23 et 24, l'objet solide 36 est forcé contre la matière de garnissage 14 de lacune 12 qui en raison de sa compressabilité s'affaisse sous la pression du galet transmise par l'objet comme représenté.When passing
Ainsi, l'objet ou le ou les débris s'efface(nt) en comprimant plus ou moins, temporairement ou de façon permanente, la matière souple 14 du garnissage 13 de lacune 12 et ceci suffisamment pour ne pas s'opposer au passage du galet ou tout au moins ne pas le surélever au point de le faire dérailler. Ainsi, ce dernier n'est ni détérioré, ni dévié de sa course normale.Thus, the object or the debris (s) is erased (s) by compressing more or less, temporarily or permanently, the
En outre, comme représenté sur la
Les
Une rétention d'eau dans la lacune peut, en cas de température négative, geler et combler la lacune 12 comme représenté sur la
Il faut cependant noter que cette glace ne peut se former qu'en cas d'interruption, par exemple la nuit, du fonctionnement du réseau de transport empruntant le rail. En effet, le passage répété des véhicules guidés par le rail a pour effet de nettoyer les lacunes.However, it should be noted that this ice can be formed only in case of interruption, for example at night, the operation of the transport network using the rail. Indeed, the repeated passage of vehicles guided by the rail has the effect of cleaning up the gaps.
Lors du passage des galets inclinés 23 et 24 de guidage, les mentonnets 25 et 26 de ces derniers vont, en avançant, exercer un effort vertical dirigé vers le bas. Sous cet effort, soit la glace s'efface en s'enfonçant dans la matière souple 14 du garnissage 13 de lacune 12, soit elle s'enfonce et se casse en raison des contraintes de flexion et de cisaillement qui apparaissent dans le barreau ou le bloc 37 de glace.During the passage of the
Le bloc de glace 37 étant souvent fragile par rapport à ces sollicitations, il se brise localement. Cet effet se reproduit au fur et à mesure de l'avancement des galets dont au moins celui des deux galets inclinés situé au-dessus de la glace pile celle-ci en continu (
Les brisures de glace 38 sont ensuite évacuées par le passage des galets de guidage selon le même procédé d'autonettoyage que précédemment.The ice breaks 38 are then removed by the passage of the guide rollers according to the same self-cleaning process as previously.
De façon générale, l'objet ou la matière est temporairement pressé sur ou enfoncé dans la matière souple 14 du garnissage 13 de lacune 12 et ne fait pas obstacle au déplacement du galet de guidage. Ainsi, ce dernier n'est ni détérioré, ni dévié de sa course normale.In general, the object or the material is temporarily pressed on or depressed in the
En outre, après passage des galets, le ou les débris ou objet(s) solide(s) de petite taille en contact avec le ou les mentonnet(s) est ou sont généralement expulsé(s) ou éjecté(s) hors de la lacune 12 par la force élastique provenant de la souplesse de la matière 14 du garnissage 13 de la lacune 12, ce qui caractérise la nature autonettoyante du garnissage 13 de lacune 12 pour rail de guidage selon l'invention.In addition, after passage of the rollers, the debris (s) or solid object (s) of small size in contact with the shank (s) is or are generally expelled (s) or ejected (s) out of the the
On peut aussi supposer que l'objet 36 s'efface dans l'épaisseur de la matière 14 du garnissage 13 lors du passage du mentonnet 15 qui exerce une pression sur lui en comprimant la matière de garnissage de la lacune. Puis, soit cet objet reprend sa position précédente après le passage des galets, soit se trouve suffisamment incrusté dans la matière souple pour ne pas interférer avec les galets pendant leur passage et les prochains passages de galet(s). Dans tous les cas, le passage des galets est rendu possible.It can also be assumed that the
La matière 14 du garnissage 13 de lacune 12 peut envelopper et en plus maintenir toute sorte et forme de rails et peut convenir à tous les types de guidage et de roulage par galet(s) à mentonnet(s).The
Il faut préciser également que la matière de garnissage 14 est en général une matière rapportée pour combler au moins partiellement chaque lacune 12.It should also be noted that the lining
