Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine mit einer Räumkette zum Transport von Schotter gemäß den im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 angeführten Merkmalen sowie ein Verfahren zur Inbetriebnahme der Maschine.The invention relates to a machine with a clearing chain for the transport of ballast in accordance with the features cited in the preamble of claim 1 and a method for starting up the machine.

Durch US 4 614 238 , US 4 014 389 bzw. DE 3 151 652 sind bereits derartige endlos ausgebildete, um das Gleis herum rotierende Räumketten bekannt. Diese setzen sich im Wesentlichen aus einem mit der Gleisbettung in Kontakt stehenden Querkanal und zwei mit diesem gelenkig verbundenen Längskanälen zusammen. Koaxial zur Gelenkachse ist jeweils eine Umlenkrolle positioniert, durch die die Räumkette um wenigstens 90° umgelenkt wird. Die gelenkige Verbindung von Quer- und Längskanal ist insofern notwendig, als damit die Möglichkeit einer geringfügigen Verschiebung der Räumkette relativ zum Gleis besteht. Damit kann in räumlich z.B. durch einen Bahnsteig eingeschränkten Abschnitten besser gearbeitet werden. Außerdem ermöglicht die Gelenkverbindung eine Verlängerung des Querkanals zum Reinigen eines Weichenabschnittes.By US 4,614,238 . US 4,014,389 respectively. DE 3 151 652 Already such endlessly trained, around the track rotating about Räumketten are known. These essentially consist of a transverse channel in contact with the track bed and two longitudinal channels articulated to it. Coaxially to the hinge axis, a pulley is positioned, by which the clearing chain is deflected by at least 90 °. The articulated connection of transverse and longitudinal channel is necessary insofar as there is the possibility of a slight displacement of the clearing chain relative to the track. This can be done better in spatially eg by a platform limited sections. In addition, the hinge connection allows an extension of the transverse channel for cleaning a switch section.

GB-A-1304900 zeigt eine Maschine mit Räumkette zum Transport von Schotter einer Gleisbettung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs GB-A-1304900 shows a machine with clearing chain for the transport of gravel a track bed according to the preamble of the claim

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Maschine bzw. eines Verfahrens der gattungsgemäßen Art, die bzw. das eine Überstellung der Räumkette in die Betriebsposition auch innerhalb eines Lichtraumprofiles ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is now to provide a machine or a method of the generic type, which allows a transfer of the clearing chain in the operating position and within a clearance gauge.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den im Kennzeichen von Anspruch 1 bzw. 4 angeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved with the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1 and 4, respectively.

Mit dieser verschwenkbaren Ausbildung der beiden am Längskanal angelenkten Endabschnitte ist eine problemlose Absenkung der Längskanäle zwischen der angrenzenden Schiene einerseits und der Lichtraumgrenze andererseits möglich. Für die anschließende Kupplung mit dem Querkanal ist lediglich eine Rückschwenkung der beiden Endabschnitte erforderlich.With this pivotal design of the two hinged at the longitudinal end portions of a smooth lowering of the longitudinal channels between the adjacent rail on the one hand and the light space boundary on the other hand is possible. For the subsequent coupling with the transverse channel only a return pivoting of the two end sections is required.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Zeichnungsbeschreibung.Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the drawing description.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig.1 eine Seitenansicht einer Maschine mit einer Räumkette bzw. Räumvorrichtung für die Schotterreinigung, und Fig. 2 bis 5 jeweils Detaildarstellungen eines von einem Längskanal zu einem Querkanal der Räumkette führenden Umlenkabschnittes. Der besseren Übersicht wegen sind die einzelnen Kettenglieder der Räumkette nicht dargestellt.
In the following the invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig.1 a side view of a machine with a clearing or clearing device for ballast cleaning, and Fig. 2 to 5 each detail of a leading from a longitudinal channel to a transverse channel of the clearing chain deflecting section. For better clarity, the individual chain links of the clearing chain are not shown.

Eine in Fig. 1 ersichtliche Räumkette 1 ist an einer Maschine 2 zur Reinigung einer Gleisbettung 3 angeordnet. Die Räumkette 1 ist während des Arbeitseinsatzes unterhalb eines angehobenen Gleises 4 als Endloskette um dieses herumgeführt angeordnet. Dabei wird verunreinigter Schotter 5 zu einer Siebanlage 6 gefördert. Der darin gereinigte Schotter 5 wird dann auf bereits bekannte Art und Weise wieder in das Gleis 4 eingebracht. Die Rotation der Räumkette 1 erfolgt in einer Rotationsebene 7, die zu einer Bettungsebene 8 geneigt angeordnet ist. Im Arbeitseinsatz der Räumkette 1 ist ein Querkanal 9 in einer Schnittlinie der beiden Ebenen 7,8 positioniert, die sich quer über die Gleisbettung 3 erstreckt.An in Fig. 1 apparent clearing chain 1 is arranged on a machine 2 for cleaning a track bed 3. The clearing chain 1 is arranged during work under a raised track 4 as an endless chain around this. In this case, contaminated ballast 5 is conveyed to a screening plant 6. The gravel 5 cleaned therein is then reintroduced into the track 4 in a manner already known. The rotation of the clearing chain 1 takes place in a plane of rotation 7, which is arranged inclined to a Bettungsebene 8. In labor use of the clearing chain 1 a transverse channel 9 is positioned in a line of intersection of the two planes 7, 8 which extends transversely across the track bed 3.

Wie in Fig. 2 bzw. 3 ersichtlich, ist der Querkanal 9 durch ein Kanalgelenk 10 jeweils an einem gekrümmten Ende 11 mit einem Längskanal 12 gelenkig verbunden. Die beiden Längskanäle 12 bilden mit dem Querkanal 9 einen Endloskanal zur Lagerung und Führung der durch einen Antrieb 13 rotierbaren Räumkette 1.As in Fig. 2 3, the transverse channel 9 is articulated by a channel joint 10 each at a curved end 11 with a longitudinal channel 12. The two longitudinal channels 12 form with the transverse channel 9 an endless channel for supporting and guiding the rotatable by a drive 13 Räumkette. 1

Wie in Fig. 3 ersichtlich, setzt sich der Querkanal 9 aus einem Mittelabschnitt 14 und zwei jeweils daran anschließenden und mittels einer Kupplung 15 lösbaren Endabschnitten 16 zusammen. Jeder dieser Endabschnitte 16 ist relativ zum angrenzenden Längskanal 12 in einem Winkel α (Fig. 4) von wenigstens 60° in der Rotationsebene 7 - von einer Betriebsposition in eine Überstellposition - um eine Schwenkachse 24 verschwenkbar.As in Fig. 3 can be seen, the transverse channel 9 is composed of a central portion 14 and two respectively adjoining and detachable by means of a coupling 15 end portions 16 together. Each of these end sections 16 is at an angle α relative to the adjacent longitudinal channel 12 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) of at least 60 ° in the plane of rotation 7 - from an operating position to a transfer position - about a pivot axis 24 pivotally.

Jedem Endabschnitt 16 ist eine Blockiervorrichtung 17 (Fig. 4) zur Blockierung der Schwenkbewegung in der Überstellposition zugeordnet. Der Blockiervorrichtung 17 ist eine mit einer zentralen Steuereinrichtung in Verbindung stehende Überwachungseinrichtung 23 für eine Anzeige der Blockierstellung zugeordnet.Each end section 16 is provided with a blocking device 17 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) assigned to block the pivoting movement in the transfer position. The blocking device 17 is associated with a monitoring device 23, which is in communication with a central control device, for displaying the blocking position.

Bei der Fahrt der Maschine 2 zur Baustelle befinden sich die Endabschnitte 16 in der in Fig. 4 strichpunktiert dargestellten Überstellposition.When driving the machine 2 to the construction site, the end portions 16 are in the in Fig. 4 dash-dotted transfer position shown.

Vor dem Absenken der Längskanäle 12 in die Arbeitsposition wird eine Gruppe von aneinander grenzenden Schwellen 18 nach Lockerung von Schienenbefestigungsmitteln zur Bildung einer Schwellenlücke 19 in einer Schienenlängsrichtung 20 verschoben (Fig. 5). Anschließend werden die beiden Längskanäle 12 innerhalb eines zulässigen Lichtraumprofiles 21 von einer Gleismitte weg in einer Gleisquerrichtung nach außen (s. Pfeil 22 in Fig. 5) verschwenkt und unter Durchführung der blockierten Endabschnitte 16 durch die Schwellenlücke 19 abgesenkt. Danach werden die Endabschnitte 16 - nach Lösen der Blockiervorrichtung 17- in eine Betriebsposition (s. Fig. 4) verschwenkt und zur Bildung des Querkanals 9 mit dem Mittelabschnitt 14 verbunden.Before the longitudinal channels 12 are lowered into the working position, a group of adjoining sleepers 18 is displaced after loosening of rail fastening means to form a threshold gap 19 in a rail longitudinal direction 20 (FIG. Fig. 5 ). Subsequently, the two longitudinal channels 12 within an allowable clearance 21 from a track center in a track transverse direction to the outside (see arrow 22 in FIG Fig. 5 ) is pivoted and lowered while passing the blocked end portions 16 through the threshold gap 19. Thereafter, the end portions 16 - after releasing the blocking device 17- in an operating position (s. Fig. 4 ) and connected to form the transverse channel 9 with the central portion 14.
