Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for transporting a semitrailer on a railway wagon.
  • the inventive method is thus divided into the so-called “combined transport", in short “KV”, in which the loading units used for transporting the respective goods (swap bodies, containers, semi-trailers or complete trucks) on the goods to be transported between the start and finish transported by different means of transport.
  • the loading units loaded with the transported goods change from one mode of transport to the other.
  • the respective semi-trailer is decoupled from the tractor and placed on the railway wagon by a suitable lifting device, such as a gantry crane or a reach stacker. There he is secured with his kingpin by a coupling plate, which is located on a supported by one of the end portions of the wagon supporting block.
  • the trestle can be displaced in the vertical direction and in the longitudinal direction of the wagon, in order to be able to adapt its position to semitrailers of different design or geometry (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backwagon).
  • the semi-trailer is lifted in reverse order from the railway wagon and coupled to the tractor standing at the destination.
  • attachment points such as normal gripping edges are provided to the specially approved semi-trailer, to which the respective lifting device can be coupled in a simple and secure manner (See brochure "S.CS / S.PR PlanenInstitute", p.
  • Semi-trailers of the type in question usually have as a central support structure on a chassis, on the one hand carries the axles on which the wheels of the semitrailer are mounted, and on the other hand, the structure of the semitrailer is erected, which the cargo space for the goods to be transported circumscribed.
  • the structure may, as explained in the above-mentioned brochure, as a so-called “tarpaulin structure” in which typically at least the longitudinal side walls and the roof are closed by a tarpaulin, or be designed as a "box body” in which the walls and the roof consist of solid panels.
  • Today customary semitrailers usually have three closely spaced axles, each with a pair of wheels on.
  • the chassis formed by the axle with the wheels mounted thereon is located in a viewed in the direction of travel relative to the center of the vehicle to the rear of the semi-trailer offset area, so that the chassis and the structure with a rear section on the last seen in the direction of travel Axis protrudes with a length which is shorter than the length between the front side and the first axis in the direction of travel.
  • the maximum dimensions of semi-trailers are regulated by law. Here a maximum external height of 4 m, a maximum width of 2.55 m and a maximum length of 13.65 m apply.
  • the dimensions of railway wagons available for Combined Transport are adjusted to these specifications. This is especially true for the lowered area of pocket wagons. This is usually dimensioned so that a legal minimum dimensions dimensioned semi-trailer safely taken in the lowered area while his kingpin is just as securely supported on the support block, which is positioned on the one end portion of the railway wagon. The back of the semi-trailer is then at the other end of the lowered area.
  • the invention has achieved this object by the method specified in claim 1.
  • a method according to the invention is thus intended for transporting a semitrailer on a railroad car, which is mounted on a respective bogie at its two end sections and which has a region, which connects the end sections and is lowered relative to the end sections, with a standing surface for the semitrailer.
  • the semi-trailer has a chassis with at least one axle mounted thereon and wheels mounted on the axle.
  • the procedure according to the invention in the transport of a compared to the previously applicable legal requirements overlong semitrailer on a railway wagon with previously valid standard dimensions is based on the idea to fix the semitrailer at least in the region of its rearwardly projecting portion in a support position which is such that the over the part of the chassis or structure of the semitrailer projecting beyond the associated end section, ie the part which extends over the overlapping area between the relevant end section and the semitrailer, is kept at a distance from the upper side of the end section, even if the semitrailer is standing on the standing surface of the lowered section of the wagon is.
  • a semi-trailer extended beyond the previously valid dimensions can also be transported on a conventional railway wagon intended for combined transport, without requiring any intervention or reconstruction of the railway wagon.
  • the support device required for supporting the semitrailer in the respective support position can be designed in the simplest possible way.
  • suitable support brackets can be provided, which are prepared either as separate stand-by devices or carried by the railway wagon.
  • Such trestles can be placed in the lowered area of the railway wagon between the back of the semi-trailer associated end portion and the footprint of the seen in the normal direction of travel last axis so that the rear protruding section sets when settling the semi-trailer on the railway wagon on the trestles and from them is held in the intended support position.
  • support means which can be moved to support the chassis in the respective support position from an inactive waiting position in an active support position, are carried by the semi-trailer itself.
  • the respective support device is moved to the respective support position while the semi-trailer is still standing on the ground next to the railway wagon or during the lifting movement on the way to the railway wagon, so that it is already in the supporting position when the semitrailer is the railway wagon reached.
  • a suitable adjusting mechanism can be provided, which is adjusted manually or with mechanical assistance.
  • this can support blocks are used, as they are already usually provided on semi-trailers in their front, the kingpin associated area to support the semi-trailer when it is disconnected from the towing vehicle.
  • the support means may be formed as a simple, pivotable about a pivot axis on the semitrailer support, which can be moved with a simple handle from the waiting position into the support position.
  • the procedure according to the invention can be carried out in a particularly simple manner on such semi-trailers whose chassis have a height adjustment.
  • the vertical distance measured in the height direction of the respective axle from the chassis of the semi-trailer and, consequently, the height position of the chassis on the ground on which the semi-trailer is adjust.
  • pneumatically actuated springs are used, as they are standard today in saddle vehicles of the type in question here. By pressurizing the bellows of such pneumatic springs can be driven apart to lift the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle can be provided with a maximum ground clearance and, consequently, a maximum distance between the rearwardly projecting section and the respective underlying surface.
  • too Hydraulic height adjustment known, working with the inclusion of a respective provided shock absorber.
  • the semitrailer optimally has, in a manner known per se, at least one stop means on its longitudinal sides, against which a lifting means of the lifting device is struck.
  • the chassis comprises at least one longitudinal beam extending over the rear portion of the semi-trailer
  • the ground clearance in the region of the rearwardly projecting portion of the semi-trailer can thereby be increased, thus minimizing the amount of height adjustment necessary to avoid a collision, in that the height of the long beam decreases, at least in the overlapping area in which the rearwardly projecting section of the semitrailer and the end section of the railway carriage overlap, in the direction of the upper side of the chassis assigned to the structure carried by the chassis.
  • the respective chassis longitudinal member is, for example, bevelled in its end section assigned to the rear side of the semitrailer such that its height decreases continuously linearly or following a curved path, starting from a rear axis viewed in the normal direction of travel.
  • the height of the structure to be transported on the chassis of a structure according to the invention can be adjusted so that its maximum height still complies with the regulations of the respective railway company or the legal requirements when the semi-trailer is in its raised support position.
  • the height adjustment of the roof can be used, which is standard in many tarpaulin structures today.
  • an underrun protection is provided at the rear of the vehicle, it may be designed to be foldable or removable, in order to achieve this as well to create maximum clearance below the rearward projecting section.
  • the semi-trailer 1 has a chassis 2 constructed in a conventional manner, which has two longitudinally spaced supports 4, which are arranged at a distance from one another and supported by cross beams, of which only the left longitudinal beam 4 seen in the normal direction of travel F is visible.
  • the longitudinal members 4 extend from a front portion of the bottom B of the semi-trailer 1 assigned to the kingpin 5 of the semitrailer 1 to approximately the bottom edge of the rear side 6 thereof.
  • Adjacent to the back 6, a conventionally designed underride guard 7 is fastened to the chassis 2 beneath the bottom B , which is used for rail transport from a swung out ( Fig. 1 ) Position in a pivoted to the bottom B position is pivotable ( Fig. 2 ).
  • a conventional, for example, designed as a tarpaulin or box body construction A is built on the chassis 2 .
  • the structure A stands with its bottom B on the top of the longitudinal beams 4 of the chassis 2 and has two extending over the length of the semitrailer 1 longitudinal walls, of which only the left in the direction of travel F longitudinal side L1 is visible, arranged in the direction of travel F front End wall S, seen in the direction of travel F behind the rear wall W and a roof D on.
  • axles 8,9,10 stored thereon with wheels R are stored.
  • the suspension of the axles 8,9,10 takes place in a conventional manner ( GB 2 187 149 A . EP 2 292 452 A1 ).
  • the axles 8,9,10 are attached to a respective trailing arm 11, which is mounted with its one end about a bearing block 12 about a transversely to the longitudinal extent L of the semitrailer 1 aligned pivot axis S1 pivotally mounted on the longitudinal beam 4.
  • the bellows 13 is clamped to a pneumatic suspension.
  • a support device 17 is arranged in a free region above the counter-bearing plate 15 and below the longitudinal carrier 4.
  • the support device 17 is formed by a support 18, which in a swivel bearing 19 fastened to the longitudinal support 4 about a pivot axis S2 from a in the direction of the bellows 13 pivoted to the underside of the longitudinal member 4 waiting position ( Fig. 4 ) can be pivoted into a support position in which they against a seated on the trailing arm 11 sitting on the trailing arm plate 15 supporting surface acts.
  • the effective support length of the support 18 is dimensioned such that it fixed in the support position the longitudinal beam 4 in its maximum downwardly pivoted position ( Fig.
  • the semi-trailer 1 is extended in a viewed in the normal direction of travel F on the last axis 10 rearwardly projecting portion 20.
  • the rearwardly projecting section 20 stands by a length Lue on the in Fig. 1 indicated by a dashed line length of the previously customary legal requirements corresponding semitrailer addition.
  • the longitudinal beams 4 starting approximately from the length position in which would end the previous legal requirements corresponding semitrailer, bevelled in the direction of the bottom B and the rear wall W of the semitrailer 1 linearly increasing.
  • gripping edges 21, 22 for coupling the hoist to the lifting device of the semitrailer 1 provided on the respective railway wagon 30 are provided in suitable positions for this purpose.
  • the railway wagon 30 is designed in the manner of a conventional pocket wagon and has at its ends in each case an end section 31, 32, over which the railroad wagon 30 in each case has a biaxial Bogie 33,34 is mounted. Between the end portions 31,32 extends a lowered portion 35, which occupies the vast majority of the length of the railway wagon 30. On the outer longitudinal sides of the lowered portion 35 extends in each case an outer longitudinal member 36 which is supported by its ends at the end portions 31,32.
  • the outer side members 36 are shown here for the sake of clarity only in dashed lines.
  • pocket-like recesses are formed near the one end portion 32, at the bottom of the wheels R of the semitrailer 1 standing surfaces 37 are formed.
  • a support bracket 38 is arranged, on which the kingpin 5 of the semitrailer 1 can be locked as on the saddle of a tractor.
  • the length Lb of the lowered portion 35 is dimensioned such that a semitrailer lowered onto the railroad wagon 30 ends with a length corresponding to the previous legal requirements with its rear wall W shortly before the end section 32, so that in such a semitrailer a collision of the semitrailer tail is excluded with the end portion 32, regardless of how large the height difference dH between the top 39 of the end portion 32 and the footing 37 is or how large or small the ground clearance in the region of the rearwardly projecting portion of the semi-trailer.
  • the semi-trailer 1 In order to still be able to transport the semi-trailer 1 on the railway wagon 30, the semi-trailer 1 is still in the on Tractor coupled state from its normal height position ( Fig. 1 ) in the maximum, the distance Hmax corresponding height position and the axles 8,9,10 supporting trailing arm 11 fixed by pressing the support means 17 in its thereby achieved maximum pivotal position ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the semitrailer 1 After the semitrailer 1 is fixed so in its maximum high support position and the underride guard 7 is pivoted in its pivoted to the underside of the bottom B position, the semitrailer 1 is decoupled from the tractor and discontinued by means of the lifting device on the railway wagon 30. Due to the height adjustment made according to the invention, the ground clearance in the overlapping area Ub is so great that at each point there is a sufficient distance between the top 39 of the end portion 32 and the bottom of the semitrailer 1 in its overlong, rearwardly projecting portion 20.
