Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Unterstopfen einer Weiche durch Eintauchen von Stopfwerkzeugen in Schotter eines Gleises.The invention relates to a method for underfilling a switch by dipping stuffing tools in gravel of a track.

Das Unterstopfen einer Weiche ist insofern schwierig, als durch den unregelmäßigen Schienenverlauf und häufige Zusatzeinrichtungen, wie z.B. Flügelschienen, Radlenker, Signalsensoren u. dgl., das Eintauchen der Stopfwerkzeuge und der Eingriff von Gleishebeeinrichtungen oft nur eingeschränkt möglich ist. Dies erfordert von der Bedienungsperson eine konzentrierte Beobachtung der Stopfzone und große Erfahrung zur Einschätzung einer Einsetzbarkeit der genannten Arbeitseinrichtungen.The underfilling of a switch is difficult in that it is characterized by the irregular track and frequent ancillary equipment, such as a rail. Wing rails, road handlebars, signal sensors u. Like., The immersion of the stuffing tools and the engagement of track lifting devices is often limited. This requires a concentrated observation of the stuffing zone from the operator and a great deal of experience in estimating an applicability of said working equipment.

Durch AT 391 903 ist es bereits bekannt, eine Weiche unmittelbar vor dem Abschnitt der Unterstopfung durch berührungslose Sensoren abzutasten.By AT 391 903 It is already known to scan a switch immediately before the section of the Unterstopfung by non-contact sensors.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung eines Verfahrens der eingangs genannten Art, mit dem eine effiziente Unterstopfung einer Weiche in Verbindung mit einer Arbeitserleichterung für die Bedienungsperson möglich ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned above, with which an efficient Unterstopfung a switch in conjunction with a work easier for the operator is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Verfahren der gattungsgemäßen Art durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruches angeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by a method of the generic type by the features stated in the characterizing part of the main claim.

Mit einer derartigen jeweils auf den aktuellen Arbeitsbereich eingeschränkten Darstellung des Schwellenfaches kann die Bedienungsperson vorhandene Stopfzonen rasch erkennen und abschätzen, ob Stopfwerkzeuge einsetzbar sind. Vor allem kann auch rasch entschieden werden, ob die Stopfwerkzeuge wenigstens in einem reduzierten Ausmaß ohne Beschädigung der Weiche in den Schotter eintauchbar sind. Dieselbe rasche Einschätzmöglichkeit ist natürlich auch für die Hebeeinrichtungen zur Positionskorrektur der Weiche gegeben.With such limited to the current work area representation of the threshold compartment, the operator can quickly detect existing stuffing zones and estimate whether stuffing tools are used. Above all, it can also be decided quickly whether the tamping tools are submerged into the ballast at least to a reduced extent without damaging the switch. The same rapid assessment option is of course also given for the lifting devices for position correction of the switch.

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 Weichenstopfmaschine, und Fig. 2 bis 5 jeweils auf einem Monitor erscheinende Bilder eines Weichenabschnittes.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 point tamping machine, and Fig. 2 to 5 in each case appearing on a monitor images of a points section.

Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Weichenstopfmaschine 1 weist Stopfaggregate 2 auf, die ebenso wie Gleishebeeinrichtungen 3 speziell für die Unterstopfung einer Weiche 4 ausgebildet sind. Diese Ausbildung muss vor allem darauf Rücksicht nehmen, dass in der Weiche 4 viele Stopf- und Hebezonen vorhanden sind, die lediglich eingeschränkt bzw. überhaupt nicht zugängig sind.An in Fig. 1 Turnout tamping machine 1 shown has tamping units 2, which are designed as well as track lifting devices 3 specifically for the Unterstopfung a switch 4. Above all, this training must take account of the fact that there are many stuffing and lifting zones in the switch 4, which are only restricted or not accessible at all.

Bezüglich einer Arbeitsrichtung 5 unmittelbar hinter den Stopfwerkzeuge 8 aufweisenden Stopfaggregaten 2 ist eine Arbeitskabine 6 vorgesehen, in der sich neben den diversen Steuereinrichtungen auch ein Monitor 7 zur Beobachtung durch eine Bedienungsperson befindet. An einem bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung 5 vorderen Maschinenabschnitt 9 der Weichenstopfmaschine 1 ist ein System von Fotokameras 10 angeordnet.With regard to a working direction 5 directly behind the tamping tools 8 having tamping units 2, a work cabin 6 is provided in which in addition to the various control devices and a monitor 7 for observation by an operator is located. At a front with respect to the working direction 5 machine section 9 of the Weichenstopfmaschine 1 is a system of photo cameras 10 is arranged.

Im Folgenden wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren näher beschrieben: Wie in den Fig. 2 bis 5 ersichtlich, wird ein durch zwei benachbarte Schwellen 11 eingegrenzter Weichenabschnitt 12 im vorderen Maschinenabschnitt 9 zur Herstellung eines Referenzfotos 13 während eines Stopfvorganges (also im Stillstand der Maschine 1) fotografiert und abgespeichert.The method according to the invention is described in more detail below: As in FIGS Fig. 2 to 5 it can be seen, a point defined by two adjacent sleepers 11 point section 12 in the front machine section 9 for producing a reference photo 13 during a stuffing process (ie at a standstill of the machine 1) photographed and stored.

Dieses abgespeicherte Referenzfoto 13 wird automatisch auf dem in der Arbeitskabine 6 positionierten Monitor 7 zur Beobachtung durch die Bedienungsperson bereitgestellt, sobald sich die Stopfwerkzeuge 8 über dem durch dieses Referenzfoto 13 dargestellten Weichenabschnitt 12 befinden.This stored reference photograph 13 is automatically provided on the monitor 7 positioned in the work booth 6 for observation by the operator as soon as the darning tools 8 are located above the switch section 12 represented by this reference photograph 13.

Das Referenzfoto 13 wird als Draufsicht auf den Weichenabschnitt 12 mit einer Bezugnahme auf eine - als Gleismitte des durch die Weichenstopfmaschine 1 befahrenen Gleises definierte - Referenzlinie 14 sowie einen durch eine Spurweite definierten Referenzabschnitt a aufgenommen.The reference photograph 13 is taken as a plan view of the switch section 12 with reference to a reference line 14 defined as a track center of the track traveled by the point tamping machine 1 and a reference section a defined by a track gauge.

Die Bedienungsperson ist nun in die Lage versetzt, die bereits erwähnte eingeschränkte Situation von möglichen Stopfzonen 15 für den Einsatz der Stopfwerkzeuge 8 optimal einschätzen zu können.The operator is now able to optimally assess the already mentioned limited situation of possible stuffing zones 15 for the use of stuffing tools 8.

Wie als vorteilhafte Ergänzungshilfe in Fig. 4 dargestellt, kann alternativ eine relativ zum Weichenabschnitt 12 bekannte Position der Stopfwerkzeuge 8 dem Referenzfoto 13 automatisch derart überlagert werden. Dadurch ist für die Bedienungsperson die Lage der Stopfwerkzeuge 8 relativ zum Gleis bzw. zu Schienen 16 exakt erkennbar.As an advantageous supplementary aid in Fig. 4 illustrated, alternatively, a relative to the switch portion 12 known position of the stuffing tools 8 the reference photograph 13 are automatically superimposed so. As a result, the position of the stuffing tools 8 relative to the track or rails 16 can be seen exactly for the operator.

Die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Stopfsituation würde unverkennbar aufzeigen, dass die jeweils rechts von der Schiene 16 eines Stammgleises positionierten Stopfwerkzeuge 8 nicht einsetzbar sind, da eine klar ersichtliche Überschneidung mit der angrenzenden Schiene 16 vorliegt. Ein in diesem Weichenabschnitt 12 vorhandener Schaltkasten 17 schließt jede auch nur eingeschränkte Einsatzmöglichkeit der Stopfwerkzeuge 8 aus.In the Fig. 4 shown darning situation would unmistakably show that each positioned to the right of the rail 16 of a main track stuffing tools 8 can not be used, since there is a clear overlap with the adjacent rail 16. An existing in this switch section 12 switch box 17 excludes any even limited use of stuffing tools 8.

In einer alternativen Ausführung können auch die Stopfwerkzeuge 8 vereinfacht in Form einer vorzugsweise rechteckigen Umrisslinie (s. Fig. 3) und im maßstabgetreuen Verhältnis zum Referenzabschnitt a dargestellt, d. h. dem Foto überlagert werden.In an alternative embodiment, the stuffing tools 8 can be simplified in the form of a preferably rectangular outline (s. Fig. 3 ) and in the true-to-scale ratio to the reference section a, ie superimposed on the photograph.

Wie in Fig. 5 aufgezeigt, können als Orientierungshilfe für die Bedienungsperson auch Rasterlinien 18 dem Referenzfoto 13 überlagert werden. Diese Rasterlinien 18 könnten beispielsweise die mittige Position der Stopfwerkzeuge 8 andeuten.As in Fig. 5 shown, grid lines 18 can be superimposed on the reference photo 13 as a guide to the operator. These grid lines 18 could, for example, indicate the central position of the stuffing tools 8.
