Ein in Fig. 1 dargestellter Schotterpflug 1 weist einen auf Schienenfahrwerken 2 abgestützten Maschinenrahmen 3 auf und ist durch einen Fahrantrieb 4 in einer Arbeitsrichtung 5 auf einem Gleis 6 verfahrbar. Eine Fahr- und Arbeitskabine 7 ist mit einer Steuereinrichtung 8 ausgestattet.An in Fig. 1 illustrated ballast plow 1 has a supported on rail chassis 2 machine frame 3 and is moved by a traction drive 4 in a working direction 5 on a track 6. A driving and working cabin 7 is equipped with a control device 8.

Zwischen den beiden Schienenfahrwerken 2 sind ein höhenverstellbarer Pflug 9 und eine Kehreinrichtung 10 angeordnet. Diese weist einen rotierbaren Kehrbesen 11 auf, mit dem auf dem Gleis 6 liegender, überschüssiger Schotter 12 über ein Steilförderband 13 in einen Schottersilo 14 transportierbar ist.Between the two rail bogies 2, a height-adjustable plow 9 and a rearrangement 10 are arranged. This has a rotatable broom 11, with the lying on the track 6, excess ballast 12 can be transported via a steep conveyor belt 13 in a ballast silo 14.

Der Schottersilo 14 besteht aus einem Container 15 zur Schotterspeicherung sowie einem als Bodenfläche wirksamen, sich in einer Maschinenlängsrichtung 23 erstreckenden Bodenförderband 16. Dieses weist in einem - bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung 5 - vorderen Ende 17 des Schottersilos 14 ein Abwurfende 18 und an einem hinteren Ende 19 ein Aufnahmeende 20 auf. Unterhalb des Abwurfendes 18 ist eine Entladeschurre 21 für einen bedarfsweisen Abwurf von gespeichertem Schotter 12 auf das Gleis 6 angeordnet.The ballast silo 14 consists of a container 15 for ballast storage and effective as a bottom surface, in a machine longitudinal direction This has in a - with respect to the working direction 5 - front end 17 of the ballast silo 14 a discharge end 18 and at a rear end 19, a receiving end 20. Below the discharge end 18, a discharge chute 21 is arranged for a demand-based dumping of stored ballast 12 onto the track 6.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ist der Schottersilo 14 am hinteren Ende 19 durch ein Gelenk 22 mit dem Maschinenrahmen 3 verbunden. Zur Verschwenkung des Schottersilos 14 um eine normal zur Maschinenlängsrichtung 23 verlaufende Gelenkachse 24 des Gelenkes 22 ist ein Schwenkantrieb 25 vorgesehen. Dem vom Gelenk 22 distanzierten Abwurfende 18 des Bodenförderbandes 16 ist eine Entladeeinrichtung 26 zur Weitergabe des gespeicherten Schotters 12 auf einen an den Schotterpflug 1 angrenzenden Speicherwagen 27 zugeordnet.As in particular in Fig. 2 can be seen, the ballast silo 14 is connected at the rear end 19 by a hinge 22 with the machine frame 3. For pivoting the ballast silo 14 about a normal to the machine longitudinal direction 23 extending hinge axis 24 of the joint 22, a pivot drive 25 is provided. The discharge end 18 of the bottom conveyor belt 16 which is distanced from the joint 22 is assigned an unloading device 26 for transferring the stored ballast 12 to a storage carriage 27 adjacent to the ballast plow 1.

Die Entladeeinrichtung 26 ist als in Maschinenlängsrichtung 23 verlaufendes und unterhalb des Bodenförderbandes 16 angeordnetes Übergabeförderband 28 ausgebildet. Dieses ist durch einen Verschiebeantrieb 29 in eine über das Abwurfende 18 des Bodenförderbandes 16 vorkragende Übergabeposition verstellbar. In dieser ist, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt - im Schottersilo 14 gespeicherter Schotter 12 vom Bodenförderband 16 auf das Übergabeförderband 28 und in weiterer Folge in den Speicherwagen 27 transportierbar.The unloading device 26 is designed as a transfer conveyor belt 28 running in the machine longitudinal direction 23 and arranged below the bottom conveyor belt 16. This can be adjusted by a displacement drive 29 in a projecting over the discharge end 18 of the bottom conveyor belt 16 transfer position. In this is how in Fig. 2 shown - stored in the ballast silo 14 Ballast 12 from the bottom conveyor belt 16 on the transfer conveyor belt 28 and subsequently in the storage carriage 27 transportable.

Sobald der Schottersilo 14 entleert ist, wird das Übergabeförderband 28 in eine in strichpunktierten Linien angedeutete Position unterhalb des Bodenförderbandes 16 zurückgezogen und der Schottersilo 14 abgesenkt (s. Fig. 1). In dieser Position kann bedarfsweise überschüssiger Schotter 12 über die Entladeschurre 21 auf das Gleis 6 abgeworfen werden.Once the ballast silo 14 is emptied, the transfer conveyor belt 28 is retracted in a direction indicated by dash-dotted lines position below the bottom conveyor belt 16 and the ballast silo 14 lowered (s. Fig. 1 ). In this position, if necessary, excess ballast 12 can be dropped onto the track 6 via the unloading chute 21.

Wie insbesondere in den Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich, ist in Arbeitsrichtung 5 vor der Entladeschurre 21 ein Querförderband 30 mit einer in einem Winkel a (vorzugsweise 90°) zur Maschinenlängsrichtung 23 verlaufenden Förderrichtung 31 angeordnet. Das Querförderband 30 ist in Förderrichtung 31 relativ zum Maschinenrahmen 3 verschiebbar ausgebildet. Das Querförderband 30 ist aus übereinander positionierbaren und bedarfsweise in Förderrichtung 31 zueinander verschiebbaren Teilförderbändern 32 gebildet. Damit wird überschüssiger Schotter 12 in einem Bereich 33 abgeworfen, der sich betreffend die Förderrichtung 31 seitlich neben dem Gleis 6 befindet.As in particular in the 3 and 4 can be seen, in the working direction 5 in front of the unloading chute 21, a cross conveyor 30 with a at an angle a (preferably 90 °) to the machine longitudinal direction 23 extending conveying direction 31 is arranged. The cross conveyor belt 30 is designed to be displaceable relative to the machine frame 3 in the conveying direction 31. The cross conveyor belt 30 is formed from one another positionable and, if necessary, in the conveying direction 31 to each other displaceable partial conveyor belts 32. Thus, excess ballast 12 is dropped in a region 33 which is located laterally adjacent to the track 6 with respect to the conveying direction 31.

Ein in Fig.5 dargestellter Schotterpflug 1 weist eine in Arbeitsrichtung 5 vor der Entladeschurre 21 vorgesehene, höhenverstellbare Schotterplaniervorrichtung 34 auf. Diese ist als Pflug 35 ausgebildet, mit dem durch unregelmäßigen Abwurf entstandene Anhäufungen von Schotter 12 eingeebnet werden.An in Figure 5 illustrated gravel plow 1 has a provided in the working direction 5 in front of the unloading chute 21, height adjustable ballast leveling device 34. This is designed as a plow 35, with the accumulated by irregular discharge accumulations of ballast 12 are leveled.
