Description

ECLISSE COMPRENANT UNE BANDE DE PROTECTION.  ECLISSE COMPRISING A PROTECTIVE STRIP.
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif adapté pour réaliser une étanchéité le long d'un rail enterré dans un substrat. L'invention se rapporte aussi à un procédé de mise en œuvre d'une telle étanchéité. Pour certains véhicules roulant sur rail, notamment les tramways, les rails ne doivent pas constituer un obstacle pour une circulation piétonne ou automobile qui circule sur la même plateforme que celle utilisée par le véhicule sur rail. C'est notamment le cas lorsque cette plateforme est une chaussée routière partagée par un tramway. Les rails sont alors généralement prévus enterrés dans un substrat de cette plateforme, de façon à être affleurant avec la plateforme. The present invention relates to a device adapted to achieve a seal along a rail buried in a substrate. The invention also relates to a method of implementing such a seal. For certain vehicles running on rail, in particular trams, the rails must not constitute an obstacle for a pedestrian or automobile traffic which circulates on the same platform as that used by the rail vehicle. This is particularly the case when this platform is a road pavement shared by a tramway. The rails are then generally provided buried in a substrate of this platform, so as to be flush with the platform.
Comme particulièrement illustré par le document FR 2 885 372, le rail est de préférence prévu isolé du substrat par un système d'éclisses. Les éclisses assurent notamment une isolation phonique, une isolation électrique et une étanchéité autour du rail vis-à-vis de son environnement. Il faut néanmoins s'assurer que de l'humidité ne pénètre pas, ou peu, entre un revêtement de cette plateforme et le rail. Le revêtement est généralement un enrobé, autrement dit un béton bitumineux ; le revêtement peut aussi être du béton ou des pavés. Le document FR 2 947 285 propose de réaliser des éclisses latérales pouvant comprendre, notamment, une portion supérieure sécable le long d'une ligne de rupture parcourant la face latérale, la bande s'étendant de part et d'autre de ladite ligne de rupture. Une fois le revêtement posé, la portion sécable est retirée, créant une gorge qui est remplie d'un joint coulé in-situ, de préférence un joint polyuréthane bi-composant. Cependant, la préparation de l'éclisse, la mise en œuvre et la fourniture d'un tel joint sont longues et coûteuses. En outre, ce joint est mis en place lorsque la totalité des travaux de voie et de chaussé sont terminés ; Ainsi, l'éclisse peut être soumise plusieurs mois et quelquefois plusieurs années à des intempéries et à du trafic routier, avant la mise en place du joint. As particularly illustrated by the document FR 2 885 372, the rail is preferably provided isolated from the substrate by a system of splints. The splints provide sound insulation, electrical insulation and sealing around the rail vis-à-vis its environment. However, it must be ensured that moisture does not penetrate, or little, between a coating of this platform and the rail. The coating is generally asphalt, in other words an asphalt concrete; the coating may also be concrete or pavers. The document FR 2 947 285 proposes to produce lateral splints which may comprise, in particular, an upper breakable portion along a break line running through the lateral face, the strip extending on either side of said break line. . Once the coating is laid, the breakable portion is removed, creating a groove that is filled with an in-situ cast seal, preferably a two-component polyurethane seal. However, the preparation of the splice, the implementation and the supply of such a joint are long and expensive. In addition, this seal is put in place when all trackwork and pavement work are completed; Thus, the splint can be subjected several months and sometimes several years to bad weather and traffic, before the establishment of the joint.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif rapide et économique pour réaliser une étanchéité entre le rail et le revêtement de la plateforme. The invention aims to provide a fast and economical device for sealing between the rail and the deck of the platform.
Selon un premier objet de l'invention, un tel dispositif est un dispositif d'éclissage pour un rail de matériel roulant, notamment un rail de tramway, constitué par une éclisse latérale dont une face supérieure comprend une bande de protection. La bande est avantageusement collée, de préférence par soudage, sur une face supérieure d'une matrice de l'éclisse, matrice dont le matériau peut être choisi parmi une mousse polyéthylène, une mousse polyuréthane, une mousse de polypropylène et un caoutchouc. According to a first object of the invention, such a device is a splinting device for a rolling stock rail, in particular a tramway rail, constituted by a side splice whose upper face comprises a protection strip. The band is advantageously bonded, preferably by welding, to an upper face of a matrix of the splint, a matrix whose material may be chosen from a polyethylene foam, a polyurethane foam, a polypropylene foam and a rubber.
La bande est de préférence formée d'un treillis et d'une feuille collés l'un contre l'autre, de préférence par soudage. La feuille peut être une feuille en polyéthylène (PE) ou polytéréphtalate d'éthylène (PET). Le treillis peut être constitué de fils en polypropylène, en polyéthylène, en fibre de verre ou en polyamide.  The strip is preferably formed of a lattice and a sheet glued together, preferably by welding. The sheet may be a sheet of polyethylene (PE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The mesh may consist of polypropylene, polyethylene, fiberglass or polyamide yarns.
Avantageusement, l'éclisse peut comprendre un ou plusieurs chanfreins entre sa face supérieure et une face latérale prévue pour venir en contact avec le rail. Selon un autre objet de l'invention, un procédé pour réaliser une étanchéité le long d'un rail enterré dans un substrat, comprend les étapes suivantes : Advantageously, the splint may comprise one or more chamfers between its upper face and a lateral face intended to come into contact with the rail. According to another object of the invention, a method for sealing along a rail buried in a substrate comprises the following steps:
- fourniture d'une éclisse latérale ;  - provision of a side splint;
- mise en place de ladite éclisse en prise avec le rail.  - Implementation of said splice engaged with the rail.
Avantageusement, ce procédé comprend une étape supplémentaire pour la mise en œuvre d'un joint le long du rail, entre la bande et le rail, dans une gorge formée par un chanfrein de l'éclisse.  Advantageously, this method comprises an additional step for the implementation of a seal along the rail, between the strip and the rail, in a groove formed by a chamfer of the splice.
Plusieurs modes d'exécution de l'invention seront décrits ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : Several embodiments of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective et en coupe d'un rail de tramway et de différents éléments voisins prévus pour la réalisation d'une l'étanchéité selon l'invention le long du rail ;  - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view in section of a tramway rail and different neighboring elements provided for the realization of a seal according to the invention along the rail;
- la figure 2 est une vue partielle et en perspective d'une éclisse selon l'invention.  - Figure 2 is a partial view in perspective of a splint according to the invention.
Dans la description qui va suivre et aux figures jointes, arbitrairement et par mesure de simplification, le rail est supposé posé horizontalement. Les termes "horizontal" et "vertical" se réfèrent à une telle position. Cela n'exclut pas que le rail puisse être posé avec un dévers ou avec une pente non nuls, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. In the following description and the attached figures, arbitrarily and as a simplification measure, the rail is assumed to be laid horizontally. The terms "horizontal" and "vertical" refer to such a position. This does not exclude that the rail can be placed with a slope or with a non-zero slope, without departing from the scope of the invention.
La figure 1 représente en perspective et de façon schématisée un rail 1 et des éléments de son environnement. Les différents éléments et le rail sont représentés en coupe et décalés longitudinalement les un relativement aux autres, pour une meilleure lisibilité de la figure 1. Le rail est représenté tel qu'il est prévu d'être posé enterré et affleurant avec une plateforme 2. La plateforme est principalement composée de trois couches superposées 3-5. Une première couche 3, composée de grave grossière ou de béton, qui forme une base de la plateforme ; une deuxième couche 4 composée de grave fine recouvre la première couche 3 ; et, la troisième couche 5, qui recouvre la deuxième, forme un revêtement d'étanchéité pour la plateforme 2. Dans l'exemple illustré, la troisième couche 5 est un enrobé. Figure 1 shows in perspective and schematically a rail 1 and elements of its environment. The various elements and the rail are shown in section and offset longitudinally relative to each other, for a better readability of Figure 1. The rail is shown as intended to be laid buried and flush with a platform 2. The platform is mainly composed of three layers 3-5 superimposed. A first layer 3, composed of coarse gravity or concrete, which forms a base of the platform; a second layer 4 composed of fine gravel covers the first layer 3; and, the third layer 5, which covers the second, forms a sealing coating for the platform 2. In the example illustrated, the third layer 5 is a mix.
Le rail 1 est un rail de tramway dont une coupe transversale courante est en forme de Y. Il comprend une semelle horizontale 1 1, une âme verticale 12, une portion de roulement 13 et une portion de guidage 14. La semelle 11 s'étend symétriquement depuis la base de l'âme 12, les portions de roulement et de guidage s'étendent depuis une partie supérieure de l'âme 12, vers le haut, de sorte que ces portions forment entre elles une gorge 15. Dans leurs parties hautes, les portions de roulement et de guidage sont sensiblement affleurantes à la plateforme 2. La portion de roulement 13 est prévue pour servir d'appui à la bande de roulement 18 d'une roue de tramway. La gorge 15 est prévue pour y recevoir le flanc de la roue et assurer son guidage latéral. Dans l'exemple illustré, le rail est monté à l'intérieur d'éclisses 20-22, une éclisse inférieure 20 et deux éclisses latérales 21, 22. Les éclisses sont en mousse plastique, de préférence une mousse polyéthylène. Les éclisses sont prévues pour absorber des vibrations dues au roulement des tramways sur le rail 1 et éviter leur transmission à P environnement proche, notamment aux immeubles voisins. En outre, elles doivent permettre d'assurer une étanchéité à l'eau entre le rail 1 et le reste 3, 4 de la plateforme de façon à ce que le rail 1 soit protégé des courants vagabonds. The rail 1 is a tramway rail whose current cross-section is Y-shaped. It comprises a horizontal flange 1 1, a vertical core 12, a rolling portion 13 and a guiding portion 14. The flange 11 extends symmetrically from the base of the core 12, the rolling and guiding portions extend from an upper portion of the core 12, upwards, so that these portions form between them a groove 15. In their high parts , the rolling and guiding portions are substantially flush with the platform 2. The rolling portion 13 is provided to serve as a support for the tread 18 of a tram wheel. The groove 15 is provided to receive the sidewall of the wheel and ensure its lateral guidance. In the example illustrated, the rail is mounted inside of fishplates 20-22, a lower fishplate 20 and two lateral fishplates 21, 22. The fishplates are made of plastic foam, preferably a polyethylene foam. The splints are designed to absorb vibration due to the rolling of the trams on the rail 1 and prevent their transmission to the nearby environment, including neighboring buildings. In addition, they must provide a watertight seal between the rail 1 and the rest 3, 4 of the platform so that the rail 1 is protected from stray currents.
L'éclisse inférieure 20 est conçue pour envelopper la semelle 11 et la basse de l'âme 12. Une première éclisse latérale 21 est conçue pour venir s'emboîter sur l'éclisse inférieure 20, une face interne de cette éclisse venant épouser le rail du côté de sa portion de roulement 13. La deuxième éclisse latérale 22 est conçue pour venir s'emboîter sur l'éclisse inférieure 20, une face interne de cette éclisse venant épouser le rail 1 du côté de sa portion de guidage 14. Les éclisses latérales sont prévues pour être montées sensiblement affleurantes avec la plateforme 2 et le rail 1. The lower splint 20 is designed to wrap the sole 11 and the bottom of the core 12. A first side splint 21 is designed to come to fit on the lower splint 20, an inner face of this splice coming to marry the rail on the side of its rolling portion 13. The second side splint 22 is designed to fit on the lower splice 20, a face internal of this splice coming to marry the rail 1 on the side of its guide portion 14. The side splints are provided to be mounted substantially flush with the platform 2 and the rail 1.
Comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 2, chaque éclisse latérale 21,22 comprend, sur une face supérieure 25, une bande de protection 26. La bande de protection est prévue pour protéger l'éclisse correspondante des agressions dues : As particularly illustrated in Figure 2, each side splint 21,22 comprises, on an upper face 25, a protective strip 26. The protective strip is provided to protect the corresponding splint assaults due:
- au roulement de véhicules, tels des automobiles circulant sur une voie croisant les rails ;  - the rolling of vehicles, such as cars traveling on a track crossing the rails;
- aux intempéries, tels la pluie ou les rayons UV.  - bad weather, such as rain or UV rays.
La figure 2 représente une partie supérieure de la première éclisse latérale 21. FIG. 2 represents an upper part of the first lateral splint 21.
Dans l'exemple illustré, l'éclisse 21 comprend un empilement de couches de matrice 27 et des treillis 28. Un treillis 28 est intercalé entre chaque paire de couches voisines, collées entre elles. Ce treillis est destiné à réduire le coefficient de retrait, notamment longitudinal ement, de l'éclisse. In the example shown, the splint 21 comprises a stack of matrix layers 27 and lattices 28. A lattice 28 is interposed between each pair of neighboring layers, glued together. This mesh is intended to reduce the coefficient of shrinkage, particularly longitudinally, of the splint.
La bande de protection 26 est réalisée à partir d'une feuille 31 et d'un treillis 32 collés entre eux. The protective strip 26 is made from a sheet 31 and a mesh 32 bonded together.
La feuille 31 peut être, par exemple, en polyéthylène (PE) ou en polytéréphtalate d'éthylène (PET). Le treillis 32 peut être, par exemple, en polypropylène, en polyéthylène, en fibre de verre ou en polyamide. Lorsque la matrice 27 de l'éclisse est une mousse plastique, par exemple une mousse de polyéthylène, de préférence, on choisit la feuille et le treillis pour être aisément soudables entre eux et avec la matrice 27, notamment la face supérieure 25 de la couche supérieure de la matrice 27. De préférence, le treillis est disposé de sorte que ses fils de chaînes soient disposés longitudinalement, c'est-à-dire sensiblement parallèlement au rail, lorsque l'éclisse est dans sa position d'usage, et ses fils de trame sont disposés transversalement. The sheet 31 can be, for example, polyethylene (PE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The mesh 32 may be, for example, polypropylene, polyethylene, fiberglass or polyamide. When the matrix 27 of the splint is a plastic foam, for example a foam of polyethylene, preferably, the sheet and the mesh are chosen to be easily welded together and with the matrix 27, in particular the upper face 25 of the upper layer of the matrix 27. Preferably, the mesh is arranged so that its yarns chains are arranged longitudinally, that is to say substantially parallel to the rail, when the splice is in its position of use, and its weft son are arranged transversely.
La bande 26 est collée sur la face supérieure 25 de la couche de matrice 27 supérieure. La bande est découpée sensiblement à la largeur de la face supérieure 25 de la couche de matrice 27 supérieure. La bande est disposée de sorte que son treillis 32 se situe entre la face supérieure 25 de la matrice 27 et la feuille 31. Le treillis permet de renforcer la bande, de sorte qu'elle résiste aux efforts tangentiels qui peuvent être exercés par le roulement de véhicules sur la bande. The band 26 is bonded to the upper face 25 of the upper matrix layer 27. The strip is cut substantially at the width of the upper face 25 of the upper matrix layer 27. The strip is arranged so that its mesh 32 is located between the upper face 25 of the matrix 27 and the sheet 31. The mesh reinforces the band, so that it resists the tangential forces that can be exerted by the bearing of vehicles on the tape.
Dans l'exemple illustré, un chanfrein 35 est réalisé entre la face supérieure 25 de l'éclisse et une face latérale 37 prévue pour venir en contact avec le rail 1. Comme illustré à la figure 1, le chanfrein 35 est prévu pour former, avec le rail 1, une gorge dans laquelle un joint 36 est coulé pour assurer une continuité d'étanchéité entre le rail 1 et la bande de protection 26. Ce joint 36 peut être, par exemple, en polyuréthane, en bitume ou en une résine synthétique. In the example illustrated, a chamfer 35 is made between the upper face 25 of the splice and a side face 37 intended to come into contact with the rail 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the chamfer 35 is provided to form, with the rail 1, a groove in which a seal 36 is cast to ensure a continuity of sealing between the rail 1 and the protective strip 26. This seal 36 may be, for example, polyurethane, bitumen or a resin synthetic.
Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits. Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described.
Ainsi, d'autres matériaux peuvent être choisis pour les éclisses, la bande et le joint, pourvu qu'ils soient compatibles et assurent l'étanchéité recherchée. Ainsi, les éclisses peuvent être en bois ou en caoutchouc. Contrairement à ce qui est illustré à la figure 1, il peut ne pas être prévu de troisième couche, d'enrobé, mais la deuxième couche, composée de grave fine et par exemple enrobée de ciment, peut venir affleurer avec la face supérieure d'une éclisse latérale respective. Thus, other materials may be chosen for the ribs, the band and the seal, provided they are compatible and provide the desired seal. Thus, the splints can be wood or rubber. Unlike what is illustrated in Figure 1, it may not be expected to third layer, asphalt, but the second layer, composed of fine grained and for example coated with cement, may come flush with the upper face of a respective side splint.
Aussi, une éclisse latérale selon l'invention peut ne pas comprendre de chanfrein, c'est-à-dire que l'on ne met pas de joint entre l'éclisse et le rail, mais qu'une étanchéité jugée suffisante est réalisée par le placage de l'éclisse contre le rail, en même temps que par la bande d' étanchéité sur la face supérieure de l'éclisse. Cette disposition peut être choisie en fonction des conditions d'exploitation et, notamment, du climat du lieu où elle est située. Also, a side splint according to the invention may not include a chamfer, that is to say that there is no seal between the splice and the rail, but that a seal deemed sufficient is achieved by the plating of the splice against the rail, together with the sealing strip on the upper face of the splint. This provision can be chosen according to the operating conditions and, in particular, the climate of the place where it is located.
Une éclisse selon l'invention est particulièrement avantageuse, puisqu'elle pennet de réaliser une étanchéité et une protection en même temps que l'on pose l'éclisse, sans attendre la fin du chantier de réalisation de la voie ferrée. Ainsi, l'éclisse portant sa propre protection, est protégée tout au long de ce chantier, notamment de la circulation des engins de chantier. A splint according to the invention is particularly advantageous, since it allows to achieve a seal and protection at the same time as the splice, without waiting for the completion of the construction site of the railway. Thus, the splice bearing its own protection, is protected throughout this site, including the movement of construction equipment.
