Abstract

A joint connector for the lower flanges of adjoining running rails is assembled from two abutment pieces that each is seated in a lower flange of a respective rail that forms the joint. By use of centering devices, the correctly aligned positioning of the two abutment pieces is assured, wherein the abutment pieces transfer their aligned positioning to the lower flanges that meet each other without offset at the joint and the positioning cannot be negatively affected by transverse forces. The connection also provides a positive-fit in a transverse direction of the rails. Another joint connector arrangement connects the two running rails in the region of the top side. Abutment pieces in this case are seated as riders on a support rib and are connected to each other by tension rods.

Description

SchienenstoSvβrbinderanordnu-tiqSchienenstoSvβrbinderanordnu-TIQ
Bei flurfreien Förderzeugen laufen die Katzen der Hebezeuge an Schienen, die von der Decke abgehängt sind. Für kurzen Strecken können ungeteilte Schienen verwendet werden. Bei längeren Strecken müssen die Schienen aus montagetechnischen und fertigungstechnischen Gründen geteilt werden. Damit entsteht das Problem, die einzelnen Schienenabschnitte an den Stoßstellen zu verbinden, damit die Fahrwerke ruckelfrei über den Schienenstoß kommen.In loft-free vehicles, the cats of the hoists run on rails that are suspended from the ceiling. For short distances undivided rails can be used. For longer distances the rails must be shared for assembly and manufacturing reasons. This creates the problem to connect the individual rail sections at the joints, so that the chassis come smoothly over the rail joint.
Die Stoßverbinderanordnung, die den Schienenstoß überbrückt, muss ferner die Biegekräfte/-momente, die auf der einen Seite des Stoßes von dem Katzfahrwerk in die Schiene eingeleitet werden, auch über den Schienenstoß auf die andere Schiene übertragen. Andernfalls würde im Bereich des Schienenstoßes ein signifikanter Höhenversatz auftreten.The butt connector assembly which bridges the rail joint must also transfer the bending forces / moments introduced on one side of the joint from the trolley into the rail via the rail joint to the other rail. Otherwise, a significant height offset would occur in the area of the rail joint.
Ein Seitenversatz ist ebenfalls unerwünscht, weil sich an diesem Teile des Fahrwerks verhaken können oder gegen die entstandene Stufe Seitenführungsräder anstoßen.A lateral offset is also undesirable because it can get caught in this part of the landing gear or against the resulting step abut side guide wheels.
Die Fahrschienen von flurfreien Fδrderzeugen haben üblicherweise ein etwa I-förmiges Querschnittsprofil, wobei : der Ober- und Untergurt aus Gewichts- und aus Stabilitätsgründen in der Regel als Hohlkammerprofil ausgeführt ist. Auf dem die beiden Gurte verbindenden Steg können keine Verbindungseinrichtungen montiert werden. Der Steg wird häufig als Unterkonstruktion für Schleifleiter verwendet.The rails of floor-free Fδrderzeugen usually have an approximately I-shaped cross-sectional profile, wherein : the upper and lower belt for weight and stability reasons is usually designed as a hollow chamber profile. On the web connecting the two straps, no connecting devices can be mounted. The web is often used as a substructure for sliding ladder.
Aus der DE 34 01 183 Al ist eine Schienenstoßverbin- : dungsanordnung für flurfreie Förderzeuge bekannt . Die Fahr- ! schiene setzt sich hierbei aus zwei rollgeformten Hälften zusammen, wobei die Fuge zwischen den beiden Schienenteilen ι durch die Mitte des Stegs verläuft. Somit trägt jede Fahrschienenhälfte eine Hälfte des Obergurts und eine Hälfte des Untergurts. \From DE 34 01 183 Al a Schienenstoßverbin- tion arrangement for overhead conveyance is known. The driving ! rail is here composed of two roll-shaped halves, wherein the gap between the two rail parts ι runs through the middle of the web. Thus, each half of the rail carries half of the upper belt and one half of the lower belt. \
Im Bereich des Obergurtes verbleibt ein durchgehender Spalt, während im Bereich des Untergurtes die Hälften nach innen eingerollt sind.A continuous gap remains in the area of the top flange, while the halves are rolled inwards in the area of the bottom flange.
Im Obergurt sitzt eine Stoßverbinderanordnung bestehend aus zwei Widerlagerstücken, die über eine Spannschraube miteinander verschraubt sind. Im Untergurt sitzen in jeder Kammer, die durch das eingerollte Profil entsteht, Laschen, die den Stoß überbrücken und mittels Schrauben, die als Passstifte dienen, in der Kammer zu beiden Seiten des Stoßes fixiert sind.In the upper flange sits a butt connector assembly consisting of two abutment pieces, which are bolted together via a clamping screw. In the lower chord, in each chamber created by the rolled-up profile, tabs which bridge the shock and are fixed in the chamber on either side of the joint by screws acting as dowel pins.
Nachteilig bei dieser Konstruktion ist, dass im Untergurt keine Vorspannkräfte quer zur Trennebene des Stoßes erzeugt werden können. Am Obergurt gestatten die dort vorhandenen Widerlagerstücke keine hinreichende seitliche Zentrierung. Die Zentrierung durch die Spannschraube reicht in aller Regel nicht aus. Im Bereich des Obergurtes ist dies verhältnismäßig unkritisch, weil keine Räder von Katzfahrwerken darüber laufen. Die Verwendung einer solchen Konstruktion im Bereich des Untergurtes wäre nicht ausreichend, da die Zentrierung bzw. die lagerichtige Fixierung der beiden Schienenenden am Stoß nicht ausreichend gewährleistet ist .A disadvantage of this construction is that in the lower flange no biasing forces can be generated transversely to the parting plane of the joint. On the upper belt, the abutment pieces available there do not permit adequate lateral centering. The centering by the clamping screw is usually not enough. In the area of the upper belt, this is relatively uncritical because no wheels of Katzfahrwerken run over it. The use of such a construction in the region of the lower flange would not be sufficient, since the centering or the correct position fixing of the two rail ends is not adequately ensured at the joint.
Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung zu schaffen, die gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessert ist.Based on this, it is an object of the invention to provide a Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung, which is improved over the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 für den Untergurt und durch eine Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 20 für den Obergurt gelöst .This object is achieved by a Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung with the features of claim 1 for the lower flange and by a splint connector assembly with the features of claim 20 for the upper flange.
Bei der Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung für den Untergurt sind zwei Widerlagerstücke vorgesehen, die in den als Hohlkammerprofil ausgeführten Untergurt eingeführt werden. Somit sitzt beidseits des Schienenstoßes jeweils ein Widerlagerstück in dem Untergurt und ist dort in axialer Richtung gesichert. Jedes Widerlagerstück zeigt eine in Rieh-, tung auf den Schienenstoß weisende Stirnseite. Im Bereich der beiden Stirnseiten sind die Widerlagerstücke mit Zentriermitteln versehen, die unabhängig von den Spannmitteln eine genau fluchtende Ausrichtung der Widerlagerstücke gewährleisten. Der verbleibende Fluchtungsfehler am Schienenstoß reduziert sich damit auf das Seitenspiel, das die Widerlagerstücke im Untergurt haben. Ferner sind Spannmittel vorgesehen, um die beiden Widerlagerstücke gegeneinander zu spannen. Hierdurch kann jegliche Fuge am Schienenstoß im Bereich des Untergurtes vermieden werden. Die Lauffläche der Schiene ist damit glatt durchgehend. Die Abnutzung der Räder des Katzfahr- werks wird auf ein Minimum reduziert und nicht durch den Schienenstoß verschlechtert .In the buckle connector assembly for the lower flange, two abutment pieces are provided, which are inserted into the lower flange designed as a hollow profile. Thus sits on both sides of the rail joint each abutment piece in the lower flange and is secured there in the axial direction. Each abutment piece shows an in Rieh-, tion on the rail joint facing end face. In the area of the two end faces, the abutment pieces are provided with centering means which ensure a precisely aligned alignment of the abutment pieces, independently of the clamping means. The remaining misalignment of the rail joint is thus reduced to the side play, which have the abutment pieces in the lower flange. Further, clamping means are provided to bias the two abutment pieces against each other. As a result, any joint on the rail joint in the region of the lower flange can be avoided. The tread of the rail is thus smoothly continuous. The wear of the wheels of the trolley is reduced to a minimum and not degraded by the rail impact.
Vorteilhafterweise können die beiden Widerlagerstücke untereinander gleich sein. Der Querschnitt des Widerlagerstücks ist an den Querschnitt des Hohlraums im Untergurt angepasst. Vorzugsweise hat das Widerlagerstück die Gestalt eines Quaders mit zwei zueinander parallelen Seitenflächen und zwei zueinander parallelen Stirnflächen.Advantageously, the two abutment pieces can be equal to one another. The cross section of the abutment piece is adapted to the cross section of the cavity in the lower flange. Preferably, the abutment piece has the shape of a cuboid with two mutually parallel side surfaces and two mutually parallel end surfaces.
Wenn die Fahrschiene aus einem rollgeformten Blechteil besteht, sind die Ecken des Hohlraums im Untergurt stark verrundet . Es ist deswegen zweckmäßig, wenn das Widerlagerstück angefaste Kanten aufweist.If the rail is made of a roll-formed sheet metal part, the corners of the cavity in the lower flange are strongly rounded. It is therefore expedient if the abutment piece has chamfered edges.
Zum Verankern des Widerlagerstücks in dem Untergurt enthält das Widerlagerstück in den Seitenflächen wenigstens zwei Bohrungen. Die Bohrungen können als flach angesenkte Gewindebohrungen ausgeführt sein. Bei den Bohrungen kann es sich um eine Sackbohrung handeln oder die beiden Bohrungen werden als Durchgangsbohrung ausgeführt.For anchoring the abutment piece in the lower chord, the abutment piece contains at least two holes in the side surfaces. The holes can be designed as flat countersunk threaded holes. The holes can be a blind hole or the two holes are made as a through hole.
Zu den Befestigungsmitteln zum Verankern des Widerlagerstücks in dem Untergurt können Zapfen gehören, die dazu eingerichtet sind, durch die Seitenwand des Untergurtes in die Öffnung des Widerlagerstücks eingeführt zu werden.The attachment means for anchoring the abutment piece in the lower chord may include pins adapted to be inserted through the side wall of the lower chord into the aperture of the abutment piece.
Bei den Zapfen kann es sich um Schrauben handeln, näm- lieh um Stiftschrauben oder Kopfschrauben. Sie stehen um einen Betrag über die Flankenfläche des Widerlagerstückes über, der nicht größer als die Wandstärke der Fahrschienen in diesem Bereich ist. Dadurch wird eine formschlüssige Befestigung des Widerlagerstücks im Untergurt erreicht, während andererseits keine Teile seitlich über den Untergurt herausstehen.The pins may be screws, but lent to studs or capscrews. They are over an amount on the flank surface of the abutment piece, which is not greater than the wall thickness of the rails in this area. As a result, a positive fastening of the abutment piece is achieved in the lower flange, while on the other hand, no parts protrude laterally beyond the lower flange.
Die Zentriermittel sind fertigungstechnisch sehr einfach herstellbar, wenn es sich um Zentrierbohrungen und Passstifte handelt. Die Widerlagerstücke sind dadurch sehr einfach und genau auf NC-Maschinen herstellbar. Komplizierte Fräsarbeiten entfallen.The centering means are very easy to produce in terms of production when it comes to centering holes and dowel pins. The abutment pieces are therefore very simple and accurate to produce on NC machines. Complicated milling work is eliminated.
Die Zentriermittel können in jeder Stirnseite eines Widerlagerstücks eine Bohrung und einen eingepressten Pass- stift umfassen derart, dass in die freie Passbohrung des einen Widerlagerstücks der eingepresste Passstift des anderen Widerlagerstücks einführbar ist und umgekehrt. Als Spannmittel kann jedes Widerlagerstück eine durchlaufende Durchgangsbohrung enthalten.The centering means may comprise a bore and a pressed-in dowel pin in each end face of an abutment piece such that the press-fit dowel pin of the other abutment piece can be inserted into the free fitting bore of one abutment piece and vice versa. As a tensioning means, each abutment piece may comprise a continuous through-bore.
Zu dem Spannmittel kann ein Zuganker gehören, das als Gewindestange/Schraube ausgebildet ist und im montierten Zustand durch die Spannbohrungen beider Widerlagerstücke hindurch führt. Unter Gewindestange soll hier auch eine lange Kopfschraube verstanden werden, die an einem Ende mit einem entsprechenden Gewinde versehen ist.To the clamping means may include a tie rod, which is designed as a threaded rod / screw and in the assembled state through the clamping holes of both abutment pieces passes. Under threaded rod should also be understood here a long cap screw, which is provided at one end with a corresponding thread.
Das Spannmittel kann auch eine Gewindebohrung in jedem Widerlagerstück umfassen, wobei das Gewinde in einem Widerlagerstück ein Rechts- und im anderen ein Linksgewinde ist. Der Zuganker der die beiden Widerlagerstücke gegeneinander zieht, ist eine Gewindestange, die an beiden Enden gegensinnige Gewinde trägt und in der Mitte mit einem Ansatz versehen ist, um ein Werkzeug angreifen zu lassen.The tensioning means may also comprise a threaded bore in each abutment piece, wherein the thread in one abutment piece is a right-hand and in the other a left-hand thread. The tie rod of the two abutment pieces against each other pulls, is a threaded rod, which carries opposing thread on both ends and is provided in the middle with a lug to attack a tool.
Die neue Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung für den Obergurt ist dazu eingerichtet an einer an dem Obergurt ausgebildeten Tragrippe anzugreifen. Zu der Schienenstoßverbinderanordnung gehört ein erstes Widerlagerstück, das auf die Tragrippe aufsetzbar ist und das sich auf der einen Seite des Schienenstoßes befindet. Mit Hilfe von Befestigungsmitteln wird das Widerlagerstück auf der Tragrippe verankert. Auf der anderen Seite des Schienenstoßes sitzt ein zweites Widerlagerstück, das ebenfalls auf der Tragrippe angeordnet ist und dort mit der Tragrippe verbunden ist . Spannmittel wirken zwischen den beiden Widerlagerstücken und spannen die beiden Schienen beidseits des Stoßes gegeneinander.The new rail joint assembly for the upper chord is adapted to engage a support rib formed on the upper chord. To the rail joint assembly includes a first abutment piece, which is placed on the support rib and which is located on one side of the rail joint. With the help of fasteners, the abutment piece is anchored on the support rib. On the other side of the rail joint sits a second abutment piece, which is also arranged on the support rib and is connected there to the support rib. Clamping means act between the two abutment pieces and clamp the two rails on both sides of the joint against each other.
Besondere Zentriermittel sind hier nicht erforderlich, weil über den Obergurt keine Schienen laufen. Geringfügige Versätze in vertikaler und seitlicher Richtung, die trotz der versatzfreien Fügung am Untergurt verbleiben, sind unschädlich.Special centering are not required here because no rails run over the top chord. Minor offsets in the vertical and lateral direction, which remain despite the offset-free joint on the lower flange, are harmless.
Das Widerlagerstück für den Obergurt kann eine Nut aufweisen, die im montierten Zustand die Tragrippe aufnimmt .The abutment piece for the top flange may have a groove which receives the support rib in the mounted state.
Das Widerlagerstück kann zwei seitlich auskragende Flansche mit Durchgangsbohrungen aufweisen.The abutment piece may have two laterally projecting flanges with through holes.
Das Spannmittel kann wenigstens eine Gewindestange umfassen, die sich zwischen den beiden Widerlagerstücken neben der Rippe erstreckt, um die Widerlagerstücke zusammen zu spannen .The tensioning means may comprise at least one threaded rod extending between the two abutment pieces extends adjacent to the rib to clamp the abutment pieces together.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Draufsicht eine Fahrschiene 1 eines flurfreien Förderzeugs. Die Fahrschiene 1 weist einen Untergurt 2 sowie einen Obergurt 3 auf. Der Ober- und der Untergurt 2 und 3 sind über einen Steg 4 miteinander verbunden. Auf der Oberseite des Obergurtes 3 steht eine Tragrippe 5. Der Steg 4 liegt in der vertikalen Symmetrieebene .Fig. 1 shows in a perspective plan view of a running rail 1 of a lane-free conveyor. The running rail 1 has a lower flange 2 and a top flange 3. The upper and lower chords 2 and 3 are connected to each other via a web 4. On the top of the upper flange 3 is a support rib 5. The web 4 is located in the vertical plane of symmetry.
Die gesamte Fahrschiene 1 weist einen über die Länge durchlaufenden konstanten Querschnitt auf und besteht aus einem rollgeformten Stahlblechband, dessen Kanten 6 und 7 auf dem Steg 4 laserverschweißt sind. Zufolge des rollgeformten Profils ist der Untergurt 2 als Hohlkammer ausgebildet und umgrenzt einen im Querschnitt rechteckigen Hohlraum 8.The entire running rail 1 has a constant cross section over the length of a constant cross-section and consists of a roll-formed sheet steel strip whose edges are laser welded 6 and 7 on the web. As a result of the roll-formed profile, the lower flange 2 is designed as a hollow chamber and defines a cavity 8 which is rectangular in cross-section.
Der Hohlraum 8 wird von zwei Schmalseiten 9 und 11 des Untergurts 2, einer Unterseite 12 und einer Oberseite 13 begrenzt, von der mittig der Steg 4 ausgeht.The cavity 8 is bounded by two narrow sides 9 and 11 of the lower flange 2, a lower side 12 and an upper side 13, from which the middle of the web 4 originates.
Der Obergurt 3 ist ebenfalls als Hohlkammer ausgeführt und umgrenzt einen Hohlraum, ebenfalls mit rechteckigem Querschnitt .The upper flange 3 is also designed as a hollow chamber and defines a cavity, also with a rectangular cross-section.
Die Tragrippe 5 setzt sich aus einem leistenförmigen Steg 15 und einem am oberen Ende des leistenförmigen Stegs 15 ausgebildeten, im Querschnitt dreieckförmigen hohlen Wulst 16 zusammen. Der leistenförmige Steg 15 ist, wie die Figur erkennen lässt, gerade und hat verglichen mit dem Steg 4 eine kleine Höhe.The support rib 5 is made of a strip-shaped Web 15 and a formed at the upper end of the strip-shaped web 15, triangular in cross-section hollow bead 16 together. The strip-shaped web 15 is, as the figure reveals, straight and compared to the web 4 has a small height.
Um zwei Fahrschienen 1 mit dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Profil an einem Stoß zu verbinden, ist eine Stoßverbinderanordnung 17 vorgesehen, die in Fig. 2 veranschaulicht ist.In order to connect two rails 1 with the profile shown in Fig. 1 at a joint, a butt connector assembly 17 is provided, which is illustrated in Fig. 2.
Zu der Stoßverbinderanordnung 17 gehören zwei Widerlagerstücke 18 und 19, die identisch gestaltet sind, weshalb die Erläuterung eines der beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 genügt. Einander entsprechende Strukturelemente sind bei den beiden Widerlagerstücken 18 und 19 mit demselben Bezugszeichen versehen.To the butt connector assembly 17 includes two abutment pieces 18 and 19, which are designed identically, which is why the explanation of one of the two abutment pieces 18, 19 is sufficient. Corresponding structural elements are provided with the same reference numerals in the two abutment pieces 18 and 19.
Das Widerlagerstück 18 ist ein flaches, quaderförmiges , Gebilde, das von einer ebenen Oberseite 21 einer dazu parallelen, in der Figur nicht zu erkennenden Unterseite, zwei ■ langen Schmalseiten 22 und 23 sowie zwei Stirnseiten 24, 25 ■ begrenzt ist. Die Kanten des Widerlagerstücks 18 sind, wie ' gezeigt, angefast, damit sie nicht mit den runden Innenecken des Hohlraums 8 kollidieren.The abutment piece 18 is a flat, cuboid structure, which is limited ■ 25 from a planar upper surface 21 of a parallel thereto, can not be seen in the figure, bottom, two ■ long narrow sides 22 and 23 and two end faces 24,. The edges of the abutment piece 18 are chamfered as shown, so that they do not collide with the round inner corners of the cavity 8.
Der Abstand der beiden Schmalseiten 22 und 23 voneinander entspricht dem lichten Abstand der beiden Schmalseiten 9 und 11 des Untergurts 2. Damit ist die Querabmessung : des Widerlagerstücks 21 ist so eingestellt, dass dieses mit geringem seitlichen Spiel zwischen die beiden Schmalseiten 9 und 11 des Untergurts 2 passt .The distance between the two narrow sides 22 and 23 from each other corresponds to the clear distance between the two narrow sides 9 and 11 of the lower chord 2. Thus, the transverse dimension of the abutment piece 21 is adjusted so that this with little lateral play between the two narrow sides 9 and 11 of the lower chord 2 fits.
Der Abstand zwischen der Oberseite 21 und der Unter- seite entspricht dem lichten Abstand, den die Unterseite 12 vom der Oberseite 13 des Untergurts 2 hat, womit das Widerlagerstück 21 auch praktisch kein Höhenspiel in dem Hohlraum 8 zeigt. Das Widerlagerstück 18 lässt sich praktisch ohne Spiel in Querrichtung in Längsrichtung in dem Hohlraum 8 verschieben.The distance between the top 21 and the bottom page corresponds to the clearance, the bottom 12 has from the top 13 of the lower flange 2, whereby the abutment piece 21 and virtually no height clearance in the cavity 8 shows. The abutment piece 18 can be moved in the cavity 8 practically without play in the transverse direction in the longitudinal direction.
Zur Befestigung des Widerlagerstücks 18 in dem Hohlraum 8 sind Befestigungsmittel 26 vorgesehen. Zu den Befestigungsmittel gehören, bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel insgesamt vier Sackbohrungen 27, die als Gewindebohrungen ausgeführt sind und die an ihrem in der Schmalseite 22 bzw. 23 mündenden Ende mit einer Flachsenkung versehen sind. Die Längsachse der Sackbohrungen 27 liegen parallel zu den Flachseiten 21 bzw. parallel zu den Stirnseiten 24 und 25.For attachment of the abutment piece 18 in the cavity 8 fastening means 26 are provided. The fastening means include, in the embodiment shown, a total of four blind holes 27, which are designed as threaded bores and which are provided at their opening in the narrow side 22 and 23, end with a countersink. The longitudinal axis of the blind holes 27 are parallel to the flat sides 21 and parallel to the end faces 24 and 25th
Ferner gehören zu den Befestigungsmitteln 26 Kopfschrauben 28 mit einem zylindrischen Kopf 29. Der Kopf 29 dient als Passstift, wie sich aus der Beschreibung weiter unten noch ergeben wird. Die Tiefe der Ansenkung in den Sackbohrungen 27 ist in einer Weise bemessen, damit der Schraubenkopf 29 geringfügig über die betreffende Schmalseite 22, 23 übersteht, wenn die Schraube in dem Sackloch 27 fest angezogen ist, bis die Unterseite des Schrauben- . köpfes 29 an dem Grund der Ansenkung anliegt.' Der Überstand, den der Schraubenkopf 29 nach dem Anziehen zeigt, ist geringfügig kleiner als die Materialstärke des Blechs aus dem die Fahrschiene 1 hergestellt ist.Further, the fasteners 26 include cap screws 28 with a cylindrical head 29. The head 29 serves as a dowel pin, as will be apparent from the description below. The depth of the countersink in the blind holes 27 is dimensioned in a manner that the screw head 29 protrudes slightly beyond the respective narrow side 22, 23 when the screw is tightened in the blind hole 27 until the bottom of the screw. köpfes 29 rests against the bottom of the countersink. 'The supernatant, which the screw head 29 is, after tightening, is slightly smaller than the material thickness of the sheet from which the running rail is made. 1
Damit die beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 im montierten Zustand exakt fluchten und somit die aneinander stoßenden Fahrschienen 1 im Bereich des Untergurtes 2 in die richtig positionierte Lage zwingen, enthält jedes Widerlagerstück 18, 19 in der Stirnseite 24 bzw. 25 jeweils zwei zylindrische Sackbohrungen 31. Wegen der perspektivischen Darstellung sind lediglich die zylindrischen Sackbohrungen 31 in den Stirnseiten 25 zu sehen. Es ist ohne weiteres klar, wie die Sackbohrungen in der nicht als Draufsicht erkennbaren Stirnseite 24 liegen. Sie sind so angeordnet, dass sie, wenn die Stirnseiten 24 und 25 benachbarte Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 deckungsgleich aufeinander liegen, exakt miteinander fluchten.Thus, the two abutment pieces 18, 19 in the mounted state exactly aligned and thus the abutting Forces rails 1 in the region of the lower flange 2 in the correctly positioned position, each abutment piece 18, 19 in the end face 24 and 25 each have two cylindrical blind holes 31. Because of the perspective view, only the cylindrical blind holes 31 in the end faces 25 can be seen. It is readily clear how the blind holes lie in the not recognizable as a top view front page 24. They are arranged so that they, when the end faces 24 and 25 adjacent abutment pieces 18, 19 are congruent to each other, exactly aligned with each other.
Die Zentrierbohrungen 31 dienen der Aufnahme von Pass- stiften 32. Die Passstifte 32 können entweder lose sein, oder sie können abwechselnd mit einem der beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 über Presssitz in der entsprechenden Zentrierbohrung 29 verbunden sein. Beispielsweise kann der rechte Zentrierstift 32 mit Presssitz in der oberen rechten Zentrierbohrung 31 des Widerlagerstücks 19 sitzen, während der linke Passstift 32 in der nicht sichtbaren Zentrierbohrung 31 auf der linken Seite der Stirnfläche 24 des Widerlagerstückes 18 eingepresst ist. Die jeweils korrespondierenden Zentrierbohrungen 31 an dem gegenüberstehenden Widerlagerstück 18, 19 sind entsprechend toleriert, damit dort das überstehende Ende des jeweiligen Passstiftes 32 mit Schiebesitz hinein passt . Dies erleichtert die Montage, weil es keine losen Teile gibt.The centering bores 31 serve to receive dowel pins 32. The dowel pins 32 can either be loose or they can be alternately connected to one of the two abutment pieces 18, 19 via press fit in the corresponding centering bore 29. For example, the right centering pin 32 can be press-fitted into the upper right center hole 31 of the abutment piece 19, while the left pin 32 is pressed into the invisible center hole 31 on the left side of the end face 24 of the abutment piece 18. The respective corresponding centering holes 31 on the opposing abutment piece 18, 19 are tolerated accordingly, so that there fits the protruding end of the respective dowel pin 32 with sliding fit into it. This facilitates assembly because there are no loose parts.
Durch jedes der beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 führt jeweils eine Durchgangsbohrung 33 hindurch, die senkrecht auf den Stirnflächen 24, 25 steht und das Widerlagerstück 18, 19 über die Länge durchsetzt. Die Bohrung 33 liegt mittig zwischen den Zentrierbohrungen 31, zu denen sie achs- parallel ist. Die Durchgangsbohrung 33 dient der Aufnahme eines Zugankers in Gestalt einer langen Schraube 34, siehe Fig. 4.Through each of the two abutment pieces 18, 19 each has a through hole 33 therethrough, which is perpendicular to the end faces 24, 25 and the abutment piece 18, 19 passes through the length. The bore 33 is located centrally between the centering holes 31, to which they is parallel. The through hole 33 serves to receive a tie rod in the form of a long screw 34, see FIG. 4.
Während die Stoßverbinderanordnung 17 nach Fig. 2 zur Verbindung zweier Fahrschienen 1 im Bereich des Untergurts 2 dient, zeigt Fig. 3 eine Schienenverbinderanordnung 36, um die beiden Schienen am Stoß im Bereich ihrer Oberseite zusammen zu spannen.While the butt joint arrangement 17 according to FIG. 2 serves to connect two rails 1 in the area of the lower belt 2, FIG. 3 shows a rail connector arrangement 36 in order to tension the two rails at the joint in the region of their upper side.
Zu der Stoßverbinderanordnung 36 gehören zwei untereinander gleiche Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38. Jedes Widerlagerstück 37, 38 setzt sich aus einem U-Profilstück 39 und einem damit verbundenen Winkelstück 41 zusammen. Das U-Pro- filstück bildet einen Rücken 42 von dem zwei zueinander parallele Schenkel 43 und 44 ausgehen. Die Schenkel 43 und 44 enthalten miteinander fluchtende Bohrungspaare 45 und 46.To the butt connector assembly 36 includes two mutually equal abutment pieces 37 and 38. Each abutment piece 37, 38 is composed of a U-profile piece 39 and an associated angle 41 together. The U-shaped profile piece forms a spine 42 from which two parallel legs 43 and 44 extend. Legs 43 and 44 include aligned bore pairs 45 and 46.
Das Winkelstück 41 übergreift das U-Profilstück 39, wie gezeigt, wodurch zwei seitlich weg stehende Flansche 47 und 48 entstehen, die oberhalb der Rückseite 42 durch ein Schenkel 49 des Winkelprofils 41 miteinander verbunden sind. Die gesamte Anordnung ist eine Schweißkonstruktion.The elbow 41 engages over the U-profile piece 39, as shown, whereby two laterally projecting flanges 47 and 48 are formed, which are connected to each other above the back 42 by a leg 49 of the angle section 41. The entire assembly is a welded construction.
In den beiden Flanschen 47 und 48 sind Bohrungen 49 enthalten. Um die beiden Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38 miteinander zu verbinden, sind Gewindestangen 51 und 52 vorgesehen, auf die Muttern aufschraubbar sind.In the two flanges 47 and 48 holes 49 are included. To connect the two abutment pieces 37 and 38 with each other, threaded rods 51 and 52 are provided, can be screwed onto the nuts.
Zum Verankern der Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38 sind Einsteckzylinderstifte 54 vorhanden. Der Zusammenbau zweier Fahrschienen 1 wird nunmehr anhand von Fig. 4 erläutert:For anchoring the abutment pieces 37 and 38, plug-in cylinder pins 54 are provided. The assembly of two rails 1 will now be explained with reference to FIG. 4:
Die beiden Fahrschienen 1 werden an jenem Stirnende, das später im Bereich des Stoßes dem anderen Stirnende gegenüberliegt, mit insgesamt vier Bohrungen 55 im Bereich der Seitenwände 9 und 11 versehen. Der Abstand der Bohrungen 55 entspricht dem Abstand der Gewindesacklöcher 27 in dem Widerlagerstück 18 bzw. 19. Außerdem bekommt die Fahrschiene 1 im Bereich der Unterseite 12 eine reckteckige Ausklinkung, deren genaue Lage sich aus der weiteren Beschreibung ergibt . Ferner werden die beiden Fahrschienen 1 an dem leistenförmigen Steg 15 mit Durchgangsbohrungen versehen, deren Abstand dem Abstand der Lochpaare 45, 46 entspricht. Die Lage ergibt sich ebenfalls aus der Funktionsbeschreibung. Die beiden Fahrschienen 1 sind damit zum Anbringen der Stoßverbinderanordnungen 17 und 36 vorbereitet.The two rails 1 are provided at that front end, which later faces the other front end in the region of the joint, with a total of four holes 55 in the region of the side walls 9 and 11. The distance of the holes 55 corresponds to the distance between the threaded blind holes 27 in the abutment piece 18 and 19. In addition, the running rail 1 gets in the area of the bottom 12 a rectangular notch, the exact location of which results from the further description. Further, the two rails 1 are provided on the strip-shaped web 15 with through holes whose distance corresponds to the spacing of the hole pairs 45, 46. The situation also results from the functional description. The two rails 1 are thus prepared for mounting the butt connector assemblies 17 and 36.
Es wird nunmehr beispielsweise, bezogen auf Fig. 4, in die von rechts oben kommende Fahrschiene 1, das Widerlagerstück 19 eingesetzt. Dieses Widerlagerstück 19 ist zuvor mit dem Zuganker 34 versehen worden, und zwar so, dass nach dem Einführen des Widerlagerstücks 19 die Schraube 34 aus der oberen rechten Fahrschiene 1 in Richtung auf die linke untere Fahrschiene 1 vorsteht. Das Widerlagerstück 19 wird so platziert, dass die darin enthaltenen Gewindebohrungen 27 mit den Bohrungen 55 in den Seitenwänden 9 und 11 fluchten. Nunmehr werden durch diese Bohrungen 55 hindurch die Schrauben 28 eingedreht, bis sie mit ihrem Kopf 29 am Grund der Flachsenkung anliegen. Die Köpfe 29 stecken nunmehr spielarm in den Bohrungen 55, ohne das sie nach außen über die Außenbegrenzung des Untergurtes 2 überstehen. Die Stirnseite 25 springt geringfügig gegenüber der Stirnseite der Fahrschiene 1 nach innen zurück.It is now, for example, based on Fig. 4, in the coming from the top right rail 1, the abutment 19 used. This abutment piece 19 has previously been provided with the tie rod 34, in such a way that after insertion of the abutment piece 19, the screw 34 protrudes from the upper right-hand running rail 1 in the direction of the left lower running rail 1. The abutment piece 19 is placed so that the threaded holes 27 contained therein are aligned with the holes 55 in the side walls 9 and 11. Now, the screws 28 are screwed through these holes 55 through until they rest with their head 29 at the bottom of the flattening. The heads 29 are now stuck play in the holes 55 without the projecting beyond the outer boundary of the lower flange 2. The front side 25 jumps slightly opposite to the front side the rail 1 back inside.
In der entsprechenden Weise wird die linke untere Fahrschiene 1 mit dem Widerlagerstück 18 bestückt und durch dort eingedrehte Schrauben 28 gesichert. Nunmehr werden die Fahrschienen 1 am Stoß zusammengefügt, wobei die Schraube 34 in die Durchgangsbohrung 33 des Widerlagerstücks 18 eindringt . Sobald die beiden Fahrschienen 1 hinreichend dicht aneinander anliegen, wird die Schraube 34 mit ihrem Gewinde aus der Stirnseite 25 vorstehen und es kann dort eine entsprechende Mutter aufgeschraubt werden. Hierzu sind die zuvor erwähnten viereckigen Öffnungen vorgesehen, die in der Unterseite 12 des Untergurtes 2 angebracht wurden. Ihre Lage ist so gewählt, dass sowohl der Kopf der Schraube 34 als auch die darauf aufzuschraubende Mutter mit Hilfe von Werkzeugen zugänglich sind.In the corresponding manner, the left lower rail 1 is fitted with the abutment piece 18 and secured by screws 28 screwed in there. Now, the rails 1 are joined together at the shock, wherein the screw 34 penetrates into the through hole 33 of the abutment piece 18. As soon as the two rails 1 rest sufficiently close to each other, the screw 34 will protrude with its thread from the front side 25 and it can be screwed there a corresponding nut. For this purpose, the aforementioned quadrangular openings are provided, which were mounted in the underside 12 of the lower flange 2. Their position is chosen so that both the head of the screw 34 and the nut to be screwed onto it are accessible by means of tools.
Vor dem endgültigen Zusammenstecken wurden noch die Passstifte 32 in die Passbohrungen 31 eingesteckt, um eine lagerichtige Positionierung der beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 an den Stirnseiten zu erzwingen, die dem Schienenstoß benachbart sind.Before the final mating, the dowel pins 32 were still inserted into the mating holes 31 in order to force a positionally correct positioning of the two abutment pieces 18, 19 at the end faces, which are adjacent to the rail joint.
Durch Anziehen der Mutter auf der Schraube 34 werden die beiden Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 zusammengespannt und damit gleichzeitig auch die beiden Führungsschienen 1 im Bereich des Stoßes.By tightening the nut on the screw 34, the two abutment pieces 18, 19 are clamped together and thus simultaneously the two guide rails 1 in the region of the joint.
Aus der Erläuterung ist unschwer zu erkennen, dass die Bohrungen 55 so angebracht werden müssen, dass die Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 mit ihren betreffenden Stirnseiten 24, 25 nicht über die freie Stirnfläche der Fahrschiene 1 überstehen, in der sie stecken. Anderenfalls würden sie eine spaltfreie Anlage der Stirnflächen der beiden Fahrschienen 1 aneinander verhindern. Durch die entsprechende Wahl der Lage der Bohrungen werden mit Hilfe der Widerlagerstücke 18, 19 und der Zentriertstifte 32 die freien Enden der beiden Fahrschienen 1 im Bereich ihrer Stirnseiten so aneinander gepresst, damit der Stoß spaltfrei ist und die Außenberandungen der Untergurte 2 der beiden Fahrschienen 1 glatt und stufenfrei ineinander übergehen.From the explanation it is easy to see that the holes 55 must be mounted so that the abutment pieces 18, 19 with their relevant end faces 24, 25 do not protrude beyond the free end face of the running rail 1, in which they stuck. Otherwise they would prevent a gap-free installation of the end faces of the two rails 1 to each other. By choosing the appropriate location of the holes are using the abutment pieces 18, 19 and the centering pins 32, the free ends of the two rails 1 in the region of their front sides pressed together so that the shock is gap-free and the outer edges of the lower chords 2 of the two rails. 1 smoothly and steplessly merge into each other.
Sobald die Montage bis dahin erfolgt ist, werden die beiden Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38 von oben her über die Tragrippe 5 jeder der beiden Fahrschienen 1 gestülpt, wie dies die Explosionsdarstellung aus Fig. 4 andeutet. Die beiden Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38 werden auf der betreffenden Fahrschiene 1 mittels der Zylinderstifte 54 gesichert, die in den Lochpaaren 45, 46 sitzen und durch korrespondierende Bohrungen in dem leistenförmigen Steg 15 hindurchführen, die wie oben erwähnt zuvor angebracht wurden. Die Widerlagerstücke 37, 38 reiten mit dem U-Profilstück 39 auf der Tragrippe 5. Die Schenkel 43, 44 zeigen neben der Tragrippe 5 zu der Oberseite des Obergurts 3. Nunmehr können die Gewindestangen 51 und 52 durch die Bohrungen 49 der beiden Widerlagerstücke 37 und 38 hindurch gesteckt werden und die Muttern 53 angezogen werden. Damit sind die beiden Fahrschienen 1 auch im Bereich ihrer Oberseite verspannt . Iihre freien Stirnseiten liegen spaltfrei aneinander.Once the assembly is done by then, the two abutment pieces 37 and 38 are slipped over the support rib 5 of each of the two rails 1 from above, as indicated by the exploded view of Fig. 4. The two abutment pieces 37 and 38 are secured to the relevant rail 1 by means of the cylindrical pins 54 which sit in the pairs of holes 45, 46 and pass through corresponding holes in the strip-shaped web 15, which were previously attached as mentioned above. The abutment pieces 37, 38 ride with the U-profile piece 39 on the support rib 5. The legs 43, 44 show next to the support rib 5 to the top of the upper belt 3. Now, the threaded rods 51 and 52 through the holes 49 of the two abutment pieces 37 and 38 are inserted through and the nuts 53 are tightened. Thus, the two rails 1 are braced in the area of their top. Their free end faces lie against each other without gaps.
Die beiden Fahrschienen 1 können jetzt beidseits des Stoßes belastet werden, wobei mit Hilfe der beiden Stoßverbinderanordnungen 17 und 36 über den Schienenstoß die vertikalen Kräfte so weitergeleitet werden als wären die beiden Fahrschienen 1 im Bereich des Schienenstoßes einstückig . Insbesondere werden sowohl nach oben als auch nach unten gerichtete Biegekräfte über den Stoß übertragen.The two rails 1 can now be charged on both sides of the shock, with the help of the two butt connector assemblies 17 and 36 via the rail joint, the vertical forces are passed as if the two rails 1 in one piece in the rail joint. In particular, both upward and downward bending forces are transmitted across the joint.
Der Abstand der beiden Widerlagerstücke 37, 38 und den Zugankern 51, 52 ist im montierten Zustand groß genug, damit zwischen ihnen von oben her die Tragrippe 5 mit einem Abhänger zu erreichen ist. Ein solcher Abhänger ist beispielsweise ausführlich in der DE 10 2006 054 682 erläutert.The distance between the two abutment pieces 37, 38 and the tie rods 51, 52 is large enough in the assembled state, so that between them from above the support rib 5 is reached with a hanger. Such a suspension is for example explained in detail in DE 10 2006 054 682.
Anstelle der Schraube 34 in Verbindung mit den beiden glatten Durchgangsbohrungen 33 in den beiden Widerlagers- tücken 18 und 19 kann auch eine Gewindestange verwendet werden, die, ähnlich einem Spannschloss auf beiden Seiten Gewinde gleicher Steigung, jedoch mit umgekehrten Drehsinn enthält. Dementsprechend ist die Bohrung 33 beispielsweise in dem Widerlagerstück 18 mit einem Rechtsgewinde und die Bohrung 33 in dem Widerlagerstück 19 mit einem Linksgewinde ausgestattet . Durch Drehen dieser Schraube können in derselben Weise wie zuvor beschrieben, die beiden Widerlagerstücke 18 und 19 aufeinander zu bewegt werden, um die freien Stirnflächen der beiden Fahrschienen 1 spaltfrei gegeneinander zu pressen.Instead of the screw 34 in conjunction with the two smooth through holes 33 in the two abutment pieces 18 and 19, a threaded rod can be used which, similar to a turnbuckle on both sides thread pitch same, but with reversed sense of rotation. Accordingly, the bore 33 is provided, for example, in the abutment piece 18 with a right-hand thread and the bore 33 in the abutment piece 19 with a left-hand thread. By turning this screw, in the same way as described above, the two abutment pieces 18 and 19 are moved towards each other to press the free end faces of the two rails 1 without a gap against each other.
Ein Stoßverbinder für den Untergurt einer Fahrschiene setzt sich aus zwei Widerlagerstücken zusammen, die in dem Untergurt sitzen. Mit Hilfe von Zentriereinrichtungen wird die lagerichtige Positionierung der beiden Widerlagerstücke erzwungen, die diese Positionierung auf den Untergurt übertragen, so dass auch die Untergurte am Stoß versatzfrei aufeinander treffen und durch Querkräfte die Positionierung nicht beeinträchtigt werden kann. Die Verbindung ist damit in Querrichtung, bezogen auf die Schiene, vermittels der Widerlagerstücke formschlüssig. Eine weitere Stoßverbinderanordnung verbindet die beiden Fahrschienen im Bereich der Oberseite. Auch hier werden Widerlagerstücke verwendet, die als Reiter auf einer Tragrippe sitzen und durch Zugschrauben miteinander verbunden sind. A butt connector for the lower flange of a running rail is composed of two abutment pieces that sit in the lower flange. With the help of centering the positionally correct positioning of the two abutment pieces is enforced, which transfer this positioning on the lower chord, so that the lower chords meet each other at the shock offset and the transverse positioning forces can not be affected. The connection is thus in the transverse direction, relative to the rail, by means of Abutment pieces form fit. Another butt connector arrangement connects the two rails in the area of the top. Also here abutment pieces are used, which sit as a rider on a support rib and are connected by lag screws.
