  • the dispensing unit is provided to initiate an ejection of the lubricant due to a change in the lubricant pressure. This allows a structurally simple design can be achieved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device with a lubricating device according to the invention and a rail of a track, wherein in particular the rail and a sheet metal cover of the lubricating device are shown in dashed lines and the viewing direction is parallel to a main extension direction of the rail,
  • Fig. 2 shows a partial section through a discharge unit of the lubricating device
  • Fig. 3 shows a part of the lubricating device, wherein a flow path of lubricant is shown.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device with a lubricating device according to the invention and a rail 10 of a track, which is intended to be covered by a train. see is.
  • the lubricating device has a fastening unit 12 which fixes the lubricating device to the rail 10.
  • the fastening unit 12 comprises a rod 32 and two components 34, 36 each having a groove, in each of which a projection 38 of the rail 10 engages.
  • Two nuts 40 are bolted to the rod 32, so that the components 34, 36 are pressed against the rail, whereby the lubricating device is secured non-positively to the rail 10 along a main extension direction of the rail 10.
  • the lubricating device is fixed relative to and adjacent to the rail 10.
  • the lubricating device has an application unit 14 (FIGS. 1 and 2) which, during an operation, sprays rail head conditioning means onto an upper side 16 of the rail 10.
  • the rail head conditioning agent is lubricant, which in particular comprises ester oils and metal powder.
  • the lubricating device has a lubricant passage 42 which is connected to an external lubricant line (not shown). Through the lubricant passage 42, lubricant is pumped by means of an external pump (not shown) into a cavity of a valve plug 44 of the discharge unit 14.
  • the lubricant presses sealing lips 46 of a Um Kunststofföffes 48 of the lubricating device, which initially bear against an inner side of the valve screw 44, inwardly and flows to a metering piston 50, which it presses against a force of a Druckausübungsstoffs 18 in the form of a compression spring 52 away from the Um Tavern Eigen 48 ,
  • the compression spring 52 and the metering piston 50 are part of a cartridge insert 54 of the application unit 14, which is bolted to a base body 56 of the application unit 14.
  • an external control unit (not shown) which controls the external pump causes a pressure exerted by the pump on the lubricant to be smaller than that Pressure that the compression spring 52 exerts on the lubricant by means of the metering piston 50.

Lubricant ejected from the nozzle 62 is therefore ejected at an angle of thirteen degrees relative to a plane having only horizontal plane extending directions.
  • the lubricating device has an electrically operated heating means 26, which is provided for heating the lubricant ( Figure 3).
  • the lubricating device has three further dispensing units 70, which are identical in construction to the dispensing unit 14.
  • the lubricating device comprises a temperature sensor 24, which is used to measure the temperature of the
  • Lubricant is provided. Together with the heating means 26, the temperature sensor 24 effects a control of the temperature to a value between minus five degrees and plus seventy degrees.
  • the distance between the nozzle 62 and a bottom 30 of the lubricating device can be set to different values.
  • the height adjustment device 28 has an eccentric 72, which can adjust the support member 66 in height by its rotation, wherein In this case, a movement of the support member 66 through slots 74 of the support member 66 and bolts which protrude through the slots 74 and are fixed relative to the bottom 30, is guided.
  • a support plate 76 is arranged. Further, an O-ring 78 is disposed to the seal on the valve screw 44.
