Definitions
- the invention concerns a vibration isolator with an elastic shell for continuously supported rails which are embedded in a railway bed, whereby the rails have a rail head and a rail foot which are connected by means of a rail body with two sides having each a lateral cavity extending over the entire length of the rail between the rail head and the rail foot.
- the elastic shell extends in the railway bed over practically the full length of the rail, fitting closely to this rail.
- the rail is hereby almost entirely enveloped, but at least the top side of the rail head is free, such that a railway vehicle can move over it.
- the elastic shell comprises at least one preformed part with a beam and an elastic strip which are connected to one another by means of an elastic hinge piece which is also an integral part of this preformed part.
- the beam extends on one side of the rail in a lateral cavity according to its longitudinal direction, whereas the elastic strip extends under the rail foot.
- this preformed part has a slot extending in the longitudinal direction over practically the entire length of the preformed part, between the beam and the strip.
- the rail foot extends at least partly therein.
- the elastic shell makes sure that the rail is kept in place in a groove in the railway bed, which is preferably made of concrete.
- the rail is clamped in this groove by the elastic shell and preferably no additional fastening means are hereby required for fixing the rails to the railway bed.
- the elastic shell supports the rail over practically its full length and insulates the rail from the rest of the railway bed.
- said elastic shells are formed such that their inside preferably fits almost entirely to the rail. Further, the outside of the shell must fit closely to a groove in the railway bed, such that this shell prevents the rail from making direct contact with the railway bed.
- These continuous elastic shells are clamped onto the rail, after which they are embedded in a concrete railway bed. Alternatively, these shells are glued to one another and/or to the rails by means of an adhesive.
- the elastic shell can also be formed by casting the elastic material in a mould round the rail.
- the elastic shell must always fit closely to the rail. This is particularly the case, for example, with what is called the "top-down” method whereby coated rails are being suspended above a base, after which they are embedded in a concrete hardening which is cast round the coated rails.
- the elastic shell may come off due to its weight, for example, thereby creating an open space between the shell and the rail.
- the shell may sag on the bottom side of the rail foot, thereby coming off the rail foot.
- German Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE202008008645L11 describes for example an elastic shell made of two preformed parts having each an elastic beam and a strip. Between this beam and strip, said parts each have a preformed groove in which a far end of the rail foot fits and must extend. With these existing shells, the elastic parts are clamped round the far end of the rail foot. However, open spaces may be created at the free ends of the strips as these strips sag due to their weight.
- the invention aims to remedy the aforesaid and other disadvantages by proposing a vibration isolator and a method making it possible to provide a vibration-insulating shell on the rails in a simple manner and to subsequently embed it in concrete without the use of any adhesives being required or without any separate clamping means needing to be provided and/or to be removed.
- the shell can hereby be easily provided on a site where the railway is being installed.
- the invention hereby introduces an elastic shell which avoids that the elastic shell comes off the rail during the installation of a rail in the railway bed.
- an elastic shell is proposed avoiding the creation of an open space between the bottom side of the rail foot and an elastic strip of the elastic shell placed underneath it during the installation of a rail.
- the elastic shell of the vibration isolator according to the invention is designed such that, in the operational condition, the groove of the preformed part of the shell is elastically deformed, whereby the height of the groove is larger than in a non-operational state, when said groove is not deformed, as claimed in the attached claims.
- the strip will rotate at an angle of 3° to 30°, preferably 5° to 15°, as compared to the non-operational state when the groove is not deformed.
- the height of the groove is practically constant in a non-elastically deformed condition.
- the elastic strip is provided with a recess having an elastic sole which fits onto the rail foot in the operational condition.
- the elastic shell comprises at least two preformed parts extending opposite one another in the operational condition, each on one side of the rail, whereby the elastic strips of said two parts have free ends connecting to one another under the rail foot.
- the invention also concerns a method for enveloping a rail with a vibration isolator formed of an elastic shell whereby the preformed part is made with a groove whose height, in a non-elastically deformed condition, is smaller in at least a part of the groove than the thickness of a part of the rail foot extending therein, and whereby, when the elastic shell has been provided closely fitting onto the rail, the groove is elastically deformed and the strip is pushed against the bottom side of the rail foot.
- the groove is elastically deformed by rotating the elastic strip in relation to the beam at an angle of 3° to 30°, preferably 5° to 15°.
- the invention generally concerns a vibration isolator comprising an elastic shell for a rail embedded in a railway bed, whereby the top side of the rail head corresponds practically to the top side of the railway bed and whereby the rails are continuously supported by the elastic shell.
- the invention concerns a continuous elastic shell for rails having a rail head and a rail foot which are connected to one another by means of a rail body having two sides with a lateral cavity on either side extending over the entire length of the rail between the rail head and the rail foot.
- the elastic shell is designed such that it envelopes the rail practically entirely, thereby leaving the rail head free, such that a railway vehicle can move over the latter.
- the rail is completely insulated from the railway bed by the shell, Further, the elastic material of this shell is sufficiently rigid, such that it supports the rail continuously and makes sure that the rail is kept in place in a groove in the railway bed when a railway vehicle moves over this rail.
- elastic materials are already known to the man skilled in the art and they may consist for example of rubber or recycled rubber.
- the elastic shell is formed such that its inside preferably fits almost entirely onto the rail.
- the outside of the elastic shell further fits closely onto the groove in the railway bed.
- the elastic shell prevents the rail from making direct contact with the railway bed.
- the material of the shell is preferably selected such that the shell not only dampens the vibrations but also electrically insulates the rails.
- the elastic shell is preformed, such that it can fit almost perfectly onto the rails.
- the preformed shell is made such that it is provided with for example a groove and a pre-bent or folded strip which are elastically deformed so to envelope the rail at least partly, and whereby this elastic deformation is at least partly maintained when the shell envelopes the rail. Thanks to the elastic deformation, the shell will clamp to or round the rail. This s makes it possible to fix the shell on the rail in a simple manner without having to use any additional clamping means or adhesives. This simplifies the installation of the railway.

- a practical fourth embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in figure 7 .

Abstract
Vibration isolator with an elastic shell for continuously supported rails which are embedded in a railway bed, whereby the elastic shell comprises at least one preformed part (1,2) which comprises a beam (11,21) which extend on one side (19,29) of the rail in a lateral cavity (7) in the longitudinal direction of the latter, an elastic strip (12,22) which extend under the rail foot (5), an elastic hinge piece (10,20) which connects the beam (11,21) to the strip (12,22) and has a groove (14,24) which extends in the longitudinal direction over practically the full length of the part (1,2) and in which the rail foot (5) extends at least partly, whereby the groove (14,24) is elastically deformed for pressing the elastic strip (12,22) against the rail foot (5).
Description
- The invention concerns a vibration isolator with an elastic shell for continuously supported rails which are embedded in a railway bed, whereby the rails have a rail head and a rail foot which are connected by means of a rail body with two sides having each a lateral cavity extending over the entire length of the rail between the rail head and the rail foot.
- In an operational condition, the elastic shell extends in the railway bed over practically the full length of the rail, fitting closely to this rail. The rail is hereby almost entirely enveloped, but at least the top side of the rail head is free, such that a railway vehicle can move over it.
- Thus, the elastic shell comprises at least one preformed part with a beam and an elastic strip which are connected to one another by means of an elastic hinge piece which is also an integral part of this preformed part. In said operational condition, the beam extends on one side of the rail in a lateral cavity according to its longitudinal direction, whereas the elastic strip extends under the rail foot. Further, this preformed part has a slot extending in the longitudinal direction over practically the entire length of the preformed part, between the beam and the strip. In the operational condition, the rail foot extends at least partly therein.
- The elastic shell makes sure that the rail is kept in place in a groove in the railway bed, which is preferably made of concrete. Thus, the rail is clamped in this groove by the elastic shell and preferably no additional fastening means are hereby required for fixing the rails to the railway bed. The elastic shell supports the rail over practically its full length and insulates the rail from the rest of the railway bed.
- According to the present state of the art, said elastic shells are formed such that their inside preferably fits almost entirely to the rail. Further, the outside of the shell must fit closely to a groove in the railway bed, such that this shell prevents the rail from making direct contact with the railway bed. These continuous elastic shells are clamped onto the rail, after which they are embedded in a concrete railway bed. Alternatively, these shells are glued to one another and/or to the rails by means of an adhesive. The elastic shell can also be formed by casting the elastic material in a mould round the rail.
- During the installation of the railway, the elastic shell must always fit closely to the rail. This is particularly the case, for example, with what is called the "top-down" method whereby coated rails are being suspended above a base, after which they are embedded in a concrete hardening which is cast round the coated rails.
- The elastic shell may come off due to its weight, for example, thereby creating an open space between the shell and the rail. Thus, due to its weight, the shell may sag on the bottom side of the rail foot, thereby coming off the rail foot.
- In order to fix the shell with the rail in the railway bed, concrete is cast round the coated rails. If the shell does not fit sufficiently onto the rail, there will be a risk of undesired open spaces being formed.
- This problem rises in particular when an elastic shell is provided round the rail without any additional fastening means such as glue or clamping means.
- The German Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE202008008645L11 describes for example an elastic shell made of two preformed parts having each an elastic beam and a strip. Between this beam and strip, said parts each have a preformed groove in which a far end of the rail foot fits and must extend. With these existing shells, the elastic parts are clamped round the far end of the rail foot. However, open spaces may be created at the free ends of the strips as these strips sag due to their weight.
- The invention aims to remedy the aforesaid and other disadvantages by proposing a vibration isolator and a method making it possible to provide a vibration-insulating shell on the rails in a simple manner and to subsequently embed it in concrete without the use of any adhesives being required or without any separate clamping means needing to be provided and/or to be removed. The shell can hereby be easily provided on a site where the railway is being installed.
- The invention hereby introduces an elastic shell which avoids that the elastic shell comes off the rail during the installation of a rail in the railway bed. In particular, an elastic shell is proposed avoiding the creation of an open space between the bottom side of the rail foot and an elastic strip of the elastic shell placed underneath it during the installation of a rail.
- To this aim, the elastic shell of the vibration isolator according to the invention is designed such that, in the operational condition, the groove of the preformed part of the shell is elastically deformed, whereby the height of the groove is larger than in a non-operational state, when said groove is not deformed, as claimed in the attached claims.
- Practically, in the operational condition, when the groove is elastically deformed, the strip will rotate at an angle of 3° to 30°, preferably 5° to 15°, as compared to the non-operational state when the groove is not deformed.
- Preferably, the height of the groove is practically constant in a non-elastically deformed condition.
- Advantageously, the elastic strip is provided with a recess having an elastic sole which fits onto the rail foot in the operational condition.
- In a particularly advantageous manner, the elastic shell comprises at least two preformed parts extending opposite one another in the operational condition, each on one side of the rail, whereby the elastic strips of said two parts have free ends connecting to one another under the rail foot.
- The invention also concerns a method for enveloping a rail with a vibration isolator formed of an elastic shell whereby the preformed part is made with a groove whose height, in a non-elastically deformed condition, is smaller in at least a part of the groove than the thickness of a part of the rail foot extending therein, and whereby, when the elastic shell has been provided closely fitting onto the rail, the groove is elastically deformed and the strip is pushed against the bottom side of the rail foot.
- According to an advantageous method, the groove is elastically deformed by rotating the elastic strip in relation to the beam at an angle of 3° to 30°, preferably 5° to 15°.
- Other particularities and advantages of the invention will become clear from the following description of a practical embodiment of the method and device according to the invention,; this description is given as an example only and does not restrict the scope of the claimed protection in any way; the figures of reference used hereafter refer to the accompanying drawings.

The elastic shell is designed such that it envelopes the rail practically entirely, thereby leaving the rail head free, such that a railway vehicle can move over the latter. Thus, the rail is completely insulated from the railway bed by the shell, Further, the elastic material of this shell is sufficiently rigid, such that it supports the rail continuously and makes sure that the rail is kept in place in a groove in the railway bed when a railway vehicle moves over this rail. Such elastic materials are already known to the man skilled in the art and they may consist for example of rubber or recycled rubber.
- The elastic shell is formed such that its inside preferably fits almost entirely onto the rail. The outside of the elastic shell further fits closely onto the groove in the railway bed. The elastic shell prevents the rail from making direct contact with the railway bed.
- The material of the shell is preferably selected such that the shell not only dampens the vibrations but also electrically insulates the rails.
- According to the invention, the elastic shell is preformed, such that it can fit almost perfectly onto the rails. Use is hereby made of the elastic qualities of the shell. Thus, the preformed shell is made such that it is provided with for example a groove and a pre-bent or folded strip which are elastically deformed so to envelope the rail at least partly, and whereby this elastic deformation is at least partly maintained when the shell envelopes the rail. Thanks to the elastic deformation, the shell will clamp to or round the rail. This s makes it possible to fix the shell on the rail in a simple manner without having to use any additional clamping means or adhesives. This simplifies the installation of the railway. The elastic shell according to the invention is also advantageous in that it can be built of only two parts.
- A practical first embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in
figures 1 and 2 . This vibration isolator consists of an elastic shell built of afirst part 1 and asecond part 2. Theseelastic parts first part 1 is hereby adapted so as to fit onto aside 19 of the rail whereas the shape of thesecond part 2 is adapted to fit onto theopposite side 29 of the rail. - These
parts parts - In an operational condition, the elastic shell of the vibration isolator is fixed to a rail and said rail is practically entirely enveloped by the latter.
- The
top side 3 of therail head 4 hereby remains free, such that a railway vehicle can move over therail head 4. In this way, the elastic shell insulates the rail from the rest of the railway bed. - The rail is preferably countersunk in the railway bed, such that the
top side 3 of the rail is practically equal to the top side of the railway bed, which may be the top side of a pavement, for example. - The
first part 1 of the shell comprises afirst beam 11 whose shape is such that it can practically entirely fill thelateral cavity 7 between the rail foot 5 and therail head 4 and can fit closely to the rail body 6, thetop side 18 of the rail foot 5 and thebottom side 8 of therail head 4. - In the operational condition, this
beam 11 extends in alateral cavity 7 of said rail according to the longitudinal direction of the rail. - The first part I further comprises a
first strip 12 which is an integral part of thisfirst part 1. Thestrip 12 has afree end 13 and defines agroove 14 between thestrip 12 and thebeam 11. Thisgroove 14 extends over practically the lull length of thefirst part 1. - The
strip 12 is connected to thebeam 11 via ahinge piece 10 0 which is also an integral part of thefirst part 1. .. - The
beam 11, thehinge piece 10 and thestrip 12 are preferably made in one piece out of the same elastic material. - In a non-operational condition of the vibration isolator, the
first part 1 is not elastically deformed, and thegroove 14 has a certain height A. In the non-operational condition, the height A of thegroove 14 is preferably practically constant over theentire groove 14. In the operational condition, thegroove 14 preferably tits closely onto the rail foot, such that the height A' of the groove corresponds to the thickness C of the rail foot 5. In the operational condition, this height A' of thegroove 14 hereby increases as of thehinge point 10 towards thefree end 13. As a result, thestrip 13 will fit closely, as of thehinge piece 10 to thefree end 13, over the full length, onto thebottom side 28 of the rail foot 5. - The
second part 2 of the shell, according to this first embodiment, comprises asecond beam 21 whose shape is such that it can fill thelateral cavity 7 between the rail foot 5 and therail head 4 almost entirely and can fit closely onto the rail body 6 on theside 29 of the rail opposite theside 19 of the rail onto which the first beam l of thefirst part 1 fits. - The rail is covered with the shell of the vibration isolator by providing the
parts parts parts - When providing the
first part 1 on the rail, thispart 1 is elastically deformed. In particular, thegroove 14 is elastically deformed by opening it up, such that it can be provided over the rail foot 5. Afar end 17 of the rail foot 5 is pushed in thegroove 14 until it fills thegroove 14 practically entirely. The first part I will be inclined to go back to the initial non-elastically deformed condition, such that thegroove 14 closes again and pushes thestrip 12 against thebottom side 28 of the rail foot 5. - As the
groove 14 is being opened up, thestrip 12 pivots in relation to thebeam 11 over an axis in thehinge piece 10 which extends in the longitudinal direction of thepart 1. As a result, in the operational condition, the strip rotates at an angle between 5° and 15° in relation to the non-operational condition. Thus, the height A' of thegroove 14 at the freefar end 13 of thestrip 12 is larger in the operational condition than the height A in the non-operational condition. - As the rail foot 5 is situated in the
groove 14, thefirst part 1 with thestrip 12 will remain elastically deformed in the operational condition. - In the operational condition, according to this first embodiment, the
strip 12 extends under the rail foot 5 over the entire width of this rail foot 5, from afar end 17 of the rail foot 5 up to anotherfar end 27 of the rail foot 5. Thefar end 13 of thestrip 12 hereby fits onto thesecond part 2 of the shell. Preferably, thesecond part 2 is provided with a groove 9 and thefar end 13 of thestrip 12 is provided with a corresponding tooth which fits in the groove 9. Thus, thefirst part 1 is connected to thesecond part 2. - A practical second embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in
figures 3 and 4 . This embodiment mainly differs from the first embodiment in that thesecond part 2 of the shell also comprises astrip 22 which is an integral part of thissecond part 1 2. - This
second strip 22 has a freefar end 23 and defines asecond groove 24 between thestrip 22 and thebeam 21. Thisgroove 24 extends over practically the entire length of thesecond part 2. - The
strip 22 is connected to thebeam 21 via ahinge piece 20 which is also an integral part of thesecond part 2. - Just as in the case of the
first part 1, the beam 2L, thehinge piece 20 and thestrip 22 are preferably made in one piece out of the same elastic material. - In the operational condition, the
first groove 14 of the first part I is placed over afar end 17 of the rail foot 5 whereas thesecond groove 24 of thissecond part 2 is placed over the otherfar end 27 of the rail foot 5. - Also as in the first embodiment, when the rail foot 5 is situated in the
grooves grooves grooves grooves grooves - Preferably, the deformation of the
grooves strips grooves grooves strips strips bottom side 28 of the rail foot 5 over their whole lengths, such that a good connection with thebottom side 28 is guaranteed. - Further, the far ends 13 and 23 of the
strips opposite parts bottom side 28 of the rail foot 5. - These far ends 13 and 23 are preferably provided with an overlap, such that they can fit together tightly. Possibly, they can also be provided with a tongue and groove joint.
- A practical third embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in
figures 5 and 6 . This third embodiment mainly differs from the second embodiment in that arecess 30 for an elastic sole 31 is provided in thestrips recess 30 extends into thegrooves bottom side 28 of the rail foot 5 is hereby provided with an elastic sole 31. The elastic sole 31 is provided between thebottom side 28 of the rail foot 5 and thestrips bottom side 28 of the rail foot 5 and can be selected as a function of the rail load to be provided and the required vibration isolation. - On the
outer surfaces parts ribs 32 which make the shell adhere well to a concrete hardening which can be provided round the shell with the rail in order to fix the rail in the railway bed. - Further, a
notch 33 is provided at thehinge pieces grooves notch 33 makes it possible to cut the shell there across thehinge pieces notches 33. - In the operational condition, such a
notch 33 is situated at the far ends 17 and 27 of the rail foot 5. Thisnotch 33 can also facilitate the elastic deformation required to introduce the rail foot in thegrooves notch 33 in thehinge pieces - A practical fourth embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in
figure 7 . This fourth embodiment mainly differs from the second embodiment in that, in the operational condition, thebeams parts bottom side 8 of therail head 4. It is possible to provideadditional beams lateral cavities 7 up against therail head 4. - A practical fifth embodiment of the vibration isolator according to the invention is schematically represented in
figure 8 . This fifth embodiment mainly differs from the second embodiment in that, in the non-operational condition, thestrips beams - As a result, the
grooves hinge pieces - In the operational condition, thanks to the elastic deformation of the
strips - The invention also concerns a method for enveloping a rail with a vibration isolator formed of an elastic shell with at least one preformed part.
- This preformed part is hereby formed at once in a mould. To this end, the material in the mould is hardened such that the beam, the hinge piece and the strip can be obtained out of a single piece of elastic material. The shape of the mould hereby corresponds to the shape of the part in a nondeformed, non-operational condition. The provided recess in the groove is preferably somewhat smaller than the part of the rail foot which is placed in the groove in the operational condition. Also, the strip in the mould is preferably tilted somewhat towards the beam in relation to the operational condition.
- During the installation ol' the preformed part on the rail, the strip is bent such that the groove is opened. Thus, the preformed part with the groove envelopes the rail foot at least partly, and the groove is elastically deformed, such that the strip tits on the bottom side of the rail foot. The elastic strip is hereby rotated at an angle of 3' to 30°, preferably 5° to 150 degrees. This makes sure that, during the installation of the rail with the elastic shell, the strip always remains pressed tightly against the rail foot.
- Finally, the invention also concerns a method for installing and embedding a rail on a railway site and for manufacturing a railway bed with embedded continuously supported rails.
- The method makes it possible to position the rails correctly and to then cast the hardening of the railway bed round the rails up to practically the same height as the
top side 3 ot therail head 4. - With a method according to the invention, uncovered rails are suspended via the
rail head 4 over a foundation by means of an installation bridge, such that the rail body 6 and the rail foot 5 are easily accessible, not represented in the figures. The rail is hereby put in a required position on the site. It is hereby made sure that the top sides of connecting rails are situated in one and the same plane, or in other words, that successive connecting rails are aligned. Further, it is also made sure that the distance up to an adjacent rail and the height in relation to this adjacent rail is correct, such that together they form the tracks of a railway. Consequently, the rail is also aligned in relation to an adjacent rail. - A
first part 1 of the elastic shell is provided on aside 19 of the rail. In an analogous manner, asecond part 2 of the elastic shell is provided on anopposite side 29 of the rail. Thefirst part 1 and thesecond part 2 hereby extend on either side of the rail over preferably almost the full length of this rail. Preferably, thebeams second parts lateral cavities 7 entirely and rest on thetop side 1 of the rail foot 5. - Further, the
grooves parts elastic strips hinge piece elastic strips - The elastic strips 12 and 22 hereby press the sole 31 against the rail foot 5. The
parts - The far ends 13 and 23 of the strips preferably fit together. To this end, these far ends can be mitred or they may have what is called a tongue and groove joint.
- The shell may consist of several analogous units provided in an analogous manner in one line round the rail. Thus, practically the entire length of the rail is covered by the shell.
- Finally, material from the railway bed is provided round the rail which is enveloped by the elastic shell. This material may be concrete, for example, forming a groove in which the enveloped rail is fixed. Material from the railway bed is hereby preferably provided until the top side of the railway bed reaches practically the same height as the
top side 3 of therail head 4. - Naturally, the invention is not restricted to the above-described method and the embodiments represented in the accompanying drawings. Thus, the different characteristics of these embodiments can be mutually combined. Thus, the first embodiment can also be provided with an elastic sole fitting on the bottom side of the rail foot.
- Thus, the free far ends 13 and 23 of the
strips groove 14 and/or 24 can be provided with a notch extending in thehinge piece 10 and/or 20.
