Definitions
- the invention relates to an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of a bulk material container, comprising a rotatably mounted about a first axis actuating shaft with a front side rotatably mounted first actuator and a second axis parallel to the first axis rotatably mounted locking shaft with a front side rotatably mounted second actuator, wherein the locking shaft is configured to block the twisting of the actuating shaft by means of a pawl.
- Such actuating mechanisms for bulk containers are known from the prior art.
- the railroad self-unloading wagons of the genus "Tanoos" used for transporting bulk goods have such actuating mechanisms.
- These have two actuating levers on both longitudinal sides of the car.
- a locking shaft is actuated and moved by the rotation of a pawl.
- This pawl is set to set the actual operating shaft.
- the actuating shaft is in turn operable by means of the second actuating lever, i. rotatable about its own longitudinal axis.
- an actuating mechanism By rotating the actuating shaft, an actuating mechanism is driven, which opens or closes the unloading flap of the bulk goods container. As long as the pawl of the locking shaft blocks the actuating shaft, the actuating shaft can not be rotated. However, the opening and closing of the discharge flaps by means of such a mechanism is very time consuming.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of a bulk goods container, comprising a rotatably mounted about a first axis actuating shaft with a front side rotatably mounted first actuating element and about a second axis parallel to the first axis rotatably mounted locking shaft with a front side rotatably mounted second actuating element, wherein the locking shaft for blocking the rotation of the actuating shaft is arranged by means of a pawl, which allows an acceleration of the opening and closing of the unloading flap.
- the actuating mechanism has an additional third actuating element, which is rotatably mounted about the first axis and has a first coupling with the first actuating element and a second coupling with the second actuating element, wherein the first coupling as a in a for first axis concentric slot segment guided first driver is executed.
- the first and second actuating element by a single operation carried out by means of the third actuating element actuating movement operable, but in a time-decoupled manner or at different times, so that first the second actuating element and only after passing through the first driver over the entire length of the slot segment then also the first actuating element are set in motion by the third actuating element.
- the entrainment of the first actuating element by the third actuating element is effective only when the first driver has arrived at one of the two extreme ends of the slot segment, that there is a contact contact between the first driver and the end boundary of the slot segment.
- the movement of the third actuator causes only a relative movement between the first driver and slot segment; that is, no entrainment of the first actuating element by the third actuating element takes place.
- the provision of the second actuating element can be effected by spring force.
- the slot segment is a component of the third actuating element and the first driver is a component of the first actuating element.
- the invention also includes an inverse embodiment for this purpose, in which the slot segment is a component of the first actuating element and the first driver is a component of the third actuating element.
- the second coupling comprises a blocking element arranged to block the rotation of the blocking shaft and an unlocking disk rotatably mounted about the second axis, wherein the unlocking disk is secured by means of a second rigid carrier third actuator is driven, that the blocking element is displaceable by a arranged on the outer contour of the unlocking cam from a first, the locking shaft locking position in a second, a rotation of the locking shaft releasing position.
- the blocking element is held in its basic position blocking the blocking shaft by spring force and can only be released from this basic position by means of a force component which is counter to the spring force and can be induced by moving the third actuating element.
- the second driver is a component of the third actuating element, but the invention also includes an inverse embodiment for this purpose, in which the second driver is a component of the unlocking disk.
- the second actuating element can be driven by means of a third rigid driver through the unlocking disc.
- this driver is therefore a kind of driver plate, which allows a surface contact contact between unlocking and second actuator. In this way, more favorable friction conditions between the two components are achieved, which is particularly relevant if the operating mechanism in everyday operation by environmental conditions, etc. dirty.
- the actuating mechanism remains easily operable even under adverse environmental conditions.
- both the unlocking disc and the second actuator are driven by the same driver, but the unlocking disc and the second actuator should be arranged offset from each other such that the contact between the second driver and the second actuator only takes place when the time earlier contact between the second driver and the unlocking disc has achieved a lifting of the blocking of the locking shaft against rotation.
- the driver would be charged at two closely spaced locations with highly differently directed frictional forces.
- the invention further provides that the unlocking disc is non-rotatably mounted on the end face of a coupling shaft, wherein the coupling shaft is rotatable about a third axis parallel to the second axis and mounted in the cavity of the locking shaft designed as a hollow shaft.
- the active movement for releasing the locking element from the blocking basic position can be transmitted to a second part of the actuating mechanism according to the invention, which is arranged at another point of the bulk material container - in particular on a longitudinal side of the bulk goods container opposite the first part of the actuating mechanism, and with respect to on this constructively identical, but mirror-image is executed.
- Such an arrangement allows the unloading flap to be actuated from the other side of the bulk goods container or optionally from any one of the two sides.
- the invention also makes it possible for mutually independent and mutually redundant arrangements of one blocking element and one unlocking disk to be provided on both sides of the bulk goods container, which can be released from the blocked basic position by a single actuation of the third actuating element. In this way, the safety of the operating mechanism is increased against failure by redundancy, without this would lead to disadvantages in its operability.
- the second and the third axis coincide.
- the actuating mechanism has a mechanical display for visualizing the position of the blocking element. This facilitates the operation, since a quick and easy control of the position of the actuating mechanism is already enabled during the actuation process.
- the display can be designed, for example, in the form of a pointer which, by mechanical coupling, identifies the positions of the blocking element and thus the blocking or release of the blocking shaft.
- the actuating mechanism has a non-rotatably coupled to the locking shaft cam, which is adapted for blocking a handle connected to the third actuating element.
- the handle is only released for folding into a rest position when the locking shaft is in a position in which the pawl blocks a rotational movement of the actuating shaft. The operator thus receives via this mechanism a clearly perceptible feedback for him, whether the operations performed by him controls the actuating mechanism according to the invention again in a proper and safe condition have in which an accidental or accidental opening of the unloading hatch is no longer possible.
- the invention further comprises a rail freight wagon with at least one bulk goods container and an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of the at least one bulk goods container having one of the preceding features.
- each actuating mechanism has in each case two third actuating elements which act on the same actuating shaft and the same blocking shaft, a third actuating element being arranged on two mutually opposite longitudinal sides of the rail freight wagon.
- FIG. 1 the actuating mechanism of a discharge flap of a bulk material container is shown in perspective.
- This is a bulk goods container installed in a rail freight car of the "Tanoos" type.
- the bulk material container and its unloading flap are in FIG. 1 not shown for reasons of clarity.
- the actuating mechanism essentially comprises an actuating shaft (1) rotatably mounted about a first axis (A), each having a first actuating element (2) attached to the front side and a locking shaft rotatably mounted about a second axis (B) parallel to the first axis (A) ( 3), each having a front side rotatably mounted second actuating element (4).
- the locking shaft (3) is designed as a hollow shaft, in the interior of which a coupling shaft (14) is arranged, by means of which the movement or position of the front side rotatably mounted unlocking discs (10) are transmitted between the two longitudinal actuators.
- an actuating apparatus is understood to be the entirety of all actuating elements on a longitudinal side of the rail vehicle.
- Each rail vehicle according to the invention thus has in each case an actuating apparatus on each of its longitudinal sides.
- the actuating elements for the actuating shaft and the locking shaft are in FIG. 1 not visible because they are hidden in this view essentially by the additional third actuator (6, 6 ').
- the third actuating element (6) in the form of a flat sheet with three almost equally long side edges is executed, which is mounted in the region of its upper tip about the first axis (A) rotatably mounted on the actuating shaft (1) and below lying region with respect to the axis (A) of the actuating shaft (1) concentric slot segment (7).
- a folding handle (15) By means of a folding handle (15), the third operating element (6) for the operating personnel is easy to operate.
- a mechanical indicator (17) in the form of a pointer the position of the blocking element (9) (in FIG. 1 not visible because hidden) and thus indirectly blocking or release of the locking shaft (3) displayed to the operator.
- FIG. 2 which the detail "Z" of FIG. 1 in an enlarged way, as well as in FIG. 3 , which shows a frontal frontal view of the actuating mechanism, to recognize well.
- the third actuating element (6) which is arranged at the front in the viewing direction, has a slot segment (7) concentric with respect to its pivot about the first axis (A) of the actuating shaft (1).
- a first driver (8) is guided, which is rigidly connected to the first actuating element (2).
- the first driver (8) and the first actuating element (2) form the first coupling, by means of which the third actuating element (6) is mechanically connected to the actuating shaft (1).
- a second rigid carrier (11) in the form of a cylindrical pin.

- This blocking element (9) is held in its basic position blocking the blocking shaft (3) by the spring force and can only be released from this basic position by a force component that is counter to the spring force and can be induced by moving the third actuating element by means of the switching cam (12). In this way, it is achieved that the locking shaft (9) can not be released from its basic position - whether it be by shaking while driving the rail freight car or manual intervention by unauthorized persons. In reverse (ie oriented in the counterclockwise direction) rotational movement of the third actuating element (6), the return of the unlocking disc (10) and the locking element (9) also takes place by spring force.
- a third rigid driver (13) in the form of a driver plate protruding from the unlocking disc (10) serves to transmit motion from the unlocking disc (10) to the second actuator (4), the facing surfaces of the second actuator (4) and the driver plate being so are designed so that they allow for contact with each other surface contact between unlocking and second actuator.

- a time-decoupled drive of locking shaft and actuating shaft is realized by means of a single operating element to be operated by the operator whose internal structure is tuned such that the actuating shaft is only moved when the pawl (5) is pivoted out of its operating shaft blocking the basic position by turning the locking shaft (3).
- the operating personnel now no longer have to individually unlock and actuate the different actuating elements of the blocking shaft and the actuating shaft one after the other and separately. The operation of the unloading flap is thereby accelerated and simplified.
- the provision of the actuating mechanism in the starting position is carried out in the embodiment shown here by actuating the third actuating element (6) or its handle (15) in the counterclockwise direction.
- the provision of the second actuating element (4) takes place in this specific embodiment by spring force; ie the pawl (5) can only switch to the blocking position under spring force when the actuating shaft (1) has been completely reset by the operator by means of the third actuating element (6) in the starting position.
- the securing of the locking shaft (3) takes place against rotation by spring-induced engagement of the locking element (9) in a recess provided for this purpose of the second actuating element (4).
- the unlocking disc (10) is permanently loaded with a spring force, so that it always turns back to its original position as soon as it experiences no deflection by the second driver (11) more.
- the provision of the second actuating element by operating the third actuating element counterclockwise would be a possible realization variant.
- FIG. 4 is a rear view of the components of the so-called. "closure box” shown, which is adapted to block the handle (15) of the third actuating element (6), provided that the actuating shaft (1) not by the pawl (5) of the locking shaft (3) is blocked against moving.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Betätigungsmechanismus einer Entladeklappe eines Schüttgutbehälters, aufweisend eine um eine erste Achse drehbar gelagerte Betätigungswelle mit einem stirnseitig drehfest angebrachten ersten Betätigungselement sowie eine um eine zur ersten Achse parallele zweite Achse drehbar gelagerte Sperrwelle mit einem stirnseitig drehfest angebrachten zweiten Betätigungselement, wobei die Sperrwelle zum Blockieren des Verdrehens der Betätigungswelle mittels einer Sperrklinke eingerichtet ist.The invention relates to an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of a bulk material container, comprising a rotatably mounted about a first axis actuating shaft with a front side rotatably mounted first actuator and a second axis parallel to the first axis rotatably mounted locking shaft with a front side rotatably mounted second actuator, wherein the locking shaft is configured to block the twisting of the actuating shaft by means of a pawl.
Derartige Betätigungsmechanismen für Schüttgutbehälter sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. So weisen beispielsweise die zum Transport von Schüttgütern eingesetzten Eisenbahn-Selbstentladewagen der Gattung "Tanoos" solche Betätigungsmechanismen auf. Diese verfügen auf beiden Wagen-Längsseiten über jeweils zwei Betätigungshebel. Mit dem ersten Betätigungshebel wird eine Sperrwelle betätigt und durch deren Drehung eine Sperrklinke bewegt. Diese Sperrklinke ist zum Festlegen der eigentlichen Betätigungswelle eingerichtet. Durch Drehen der Sperrwelle kann die Sperrklinke zwischen einer ersten die Betätigungswelle verriegelnden Stellung sowie einer zweiten die Betätigungswelle freigebenden Stellung hin- und her geschaltet werden. Die Betätigungswelle ist ihrerseits mittels des zweiten Betätigungshebels betätigbar, d.h. um ihre eigene Längsachse drehbar. Durch das Drehen der Betätigungswelle wird ein Betätigungsmechanismus angetrieben, der die Entladeklappe des Schüttgutbehälters öffnet bzw. schließt. Solange die Sperrklinke der Sperrwelle die Betätigungswelle blockiert, kann die Betätigungswelle nicht gedreht werden. Allerdings ist das Öffnen und Schließen der Entladeklappen mittels eines solchen Mechanismus sehr zeitaufwändig.Such actuating mechanisms for bulk containers are known from the prior art. Thus, for example, the railroad self-unloading wagons of the genus "Tanoos" used for transporting bulk goods have such actuating mechanisms. These have two actuating levers on both longitudinal sides of the car. With the first operating lever a locking shaft is actuated and moved by the rotation of a pawl. This pawl is set to set the actual operating shaft. By turning the locking shaft, the pawl between a first actuating shaft locking position and a second actuation shaft releasing position can be switched back and forth. The actuating shaft is in turn operable by means of the second actuating lever, i. rotatable about its own longitudinal axis. By rotating the actuating shaft, an actuating mechanism is driven, which opens or closes the unloading flap of the bulk goods container. As long as the pawl of the locking shaft blocks the actuating shaft, the actuating shaft can not be rotated. However, the opening and closing of the discharge flaps by means of such a mechanism is very time consuming.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, einen Betätigungsmechanismus einer Entladeklappe eines Schüttgutbehälters bereitzustellen, aufweisend eine um eine erste Achse drehbar gelagerte Betätigungswelle mit einem stirnseitig drehfest angebrachten ersten Betätigungselement sowie eine um eine zur ersten Achse parallele zweite Achse drehbar gelagerte Sperrwelle mit einem stirnseitig drehfest angebrachten zweiten Betätigungselement, wobei die Sperrwelle zum Blockieren des Verdrehens der Betätigungswelle mittels einer Sperrklinke eingerichtet ist, welcher eine Beschleunigung des Öffnen und Schließens der Entladeklappe ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to provide an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of a bulk goods container, comprising a rotatably mounted about a first axis actuating shaft with a front side rotatably mounted first actuating element and about a second axis parallel to the first axis rotatably mounted locking shaft with a front side rotatably mounted second actuating element, wherein the locking shaft for blocking the rotation of the actuating shaft is arranged by means of a pawl, which allows an acceleration of the opening and closing of the unloading flap.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass der Betätigungsmechanismus ein zusätzliches drittes Betätigungselement aufweist, welches um die erste Achse drehbar gelagert ist sowie eine erste Kopplung mit dem ersten Betätigungselement und eine zweite Kopplung mit dem zweiten Betätigungselement aufweist, wobei die erste Kopplung als ein in einem zur ersten Achse konzentrischen Schlitzsegment geführter erster Mitnehmer ausgeführt ist. Auf diese Weise sind das erste und zweite Betätigungselement durch eine einzige mittels des dritten Betätigungselementes durchgeführte Betätigungsbewegung betätigbar, jedoch in zeitlich entkoppelter Weise bzw. zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten, so dass zuerst das zweite Betätigungselement und erst nach Durchlaufen des ersten Mitnehmers über die gesamte Länge des Schlitzsegments dann auch das erste Betätigungselement durch das dritte Betätigungselement in Bewegung gesetzt werden. Die Mitnahme des ersten Betätigungselementes durch das dritte Betätigungselement wird erst wirksam, sobald der erste Mitnehmer derart an einem der beiden äußersten Enden des Schlitzsegmentes angelangt ist, dass dort ein Berührkontakt zwischen dem ersten Mitnehmer und der Endbegrenzung des Schlitzsegmentes erfolgt. Solange sich der erste Mitnehmer jedoch an einer beliebigen anderen Stelle zwischen den beiden äußersten Enden des Schlitzsegments befindet, bewirkt die Bewegung des dritten Betätigungselementes lediglich eine Relativbewegung zwischen erstem Mitnehmer und Schlitzsegment; das heißt, dass noch keine Mitnahme des ersten Betätigungselementes durch das dritte Betätigungselement erfolgt. Auf diese Weise wird eine zeitliche Entkopplung der Bewegungsvorgänge des dritten und des ersten Betätigungselementes erreicht, so dass das erste Betätigungselement erst mit einer zeitlichen Verzögerung auf die Bewegung des dritten Betätigungselementes reagiert, und zwar erst dann, wenn die Bewegung des zweiten Betätigungselements durch das dritte Betätigungselement initiiert worden ist. Dies ermöglicht eine zeitlich gestaffelte Bewegungsfolge von Sperrwelle und Betätigungswelle durch eine einzige Betätigungsbewegung mittels des dritten Betätigungselements, ohne dass deren jeweilige Betätigungselemente durch das Bedienpersonal gesondert nacheinander entriegelt und betätigt werden müssen. Die Bedienung der Entladeklappe wird hierdurch beschleunigt und vereinfacht. Der erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsmechanismus kann derart ausgestaltet sein, dass er in beiden Drehrichtungen des dritten Betätigungselementes um die erste Achse funktionsfähig ist, d.h. in einer ersten Drehrichtung werden zuerst die Sperrwelle und danach die Betätigungswelle betätigt (= Entsperren des Betätigungsmechanismus und Öffnen der Entladeklappe) sowie in einer hierzu entgegengesetzten Drehrichtung werden zuerst die Betätigungswelle und danach die Sperrwelle betätigt (= Schließen der Entladeklappe und Sperren des Betätigungsmechanismus). Alternativ hierzu kann die Rückstellung des zweiten Betätigungselementes durch Federkraft erfolgen.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind das Schlitzsegment ein Bestandteil des dritten Betätigungselements und der erste Mitnehmer ein Bestandteil des ersten Betätigungselements.
Die Erfindung umfasst aber auch eine hierzu inverse Ausführungsform, bei der das Schlitzsegment ein Bestandteil des ersten Betätigungselements und der erste Mitnehmer ein Bestandteil des dritten Betätigungselements sind.This is inventively achieved in that the actuating mechanism has an additional third actuating element, which is rotatably mounted about the first axis and has a first coupling with the first actuating element and a second coupling with the second actuating element, wherein the first coupling as a in a for first axis concentric slot segment guided first driver is executed. In this way, the first and second actuating element by a single operation carried out by means of the third actuating element actuating movement operable, but in a time-decoupled manner or at different times, so that first the second actuating element and only after passing through the first driver over the entire length of the slot segment then also the first actuating element are set in motion by the third actuating element. The entrainment of the first actuating element by the third actuating element is effective only when the first driver has arrived at one of the two extreme ends of the slot segment, that there is a contact contact between the first driver and the end boundary of the slot segment. However, as long as the first driver is located at any other location between the two extreme ends of the slot segment, the movement of the third actuator causes only a relative movement between the first driver and slot segment; that is, no entrainment of the first actuating element by the third actuating element takes place. In this way, a temporal decoupling of the movement processes of the third and the first actuating element is achieved, so that the first actuating element reacts only with a time delay to the movement of the third actuating element, and only when the movement of the second actuating element by the third actuating element has been initiated. This allows a staggered sequence of movements of locking shaft and actuating shaft by a single actuation movement by means of the third actuating element, without their respective actuators must be unlocked and operated separately by the operating personnel separately. The operation of the unloading flap is thereby accelerated and simplified. The actuating mechanism according to the invention can be configured such that it is functional in both directions of rotation of the third actuating element about the first axis, ie in a first direction of rotation, first the blocking shaft and then the actuating shaft is actuated (= unlocking the actuating mechanism and opening the discharge flap) and in a For this opposite direction of rotation, the actuating shaft and then the locking shaft are actuated first (= closing the unloading and locking the actuating mechanism). Alternatively, the provision of the second actuating element can be effected by spring force.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the slot segment is a component of the third actuating element and the first driver is a component of the first actuating element.
However, the invention also includes an inverse embodiment for this purpose, in which the slot segment is a component of the first actuating element and the first driver is a component of the third actuating element.
Gemäß einer Weiterentwicklung des erfindungsgemäßen Grundgedankens umfasst die zweite Kopplung ein zum Blockieren des Verdrehens der Sperrwelle eingerichtetes Sperrelement sowie eine um die zweite Achse drehbar gelagerte Entriegelungsscheibe, wobei die Entriegelungsscheibe mittels eines zweiten starren Mitnehmers derart durch das dritte Betätigungselement antreibbar ist, dass das Sperrelement durch eine an der Außenkontur der Entriegelungsscheibe angeordnete Schaltnocke aus einer ersten, die Sperrwelle verriegelnden Stellung in eine zweite, ein Verdrehen der Sperrwelle freigebende Stellung verlagerbar ist. Das Sperrelement wird durch Federkraft in seiner die Sperrwelle blockierenden Grundstellung gehalten und ist nur durch eine zur Federkraft gegenläufige und durch Bewegen des dritten Betätigungselementes induzierbare Kraftkomponente aus dieser Grundstellung lösbar. Mittels der Schaltnocke der Entriegelungsscheibe wird aus der durch das dritte Betätigungselement eingeleiteten Drehbewegung der Entriegelungsscheibe um die zweite Achse eine solche translatorische, der Federkraft entgegengesetzte Kraftkomponente erzeugt. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass sich die Sperrwelle nicht aus ihrer Grundstellung lösen kann - sei es durch Erschütterungen während eines Transports des Schüttgutbehälters oder durch manuelle Eingriffe von unautorisierten Personen - und es im Extremfall zu einer Entsperrung der Betätigungswelle kommt. Auch hier gilt, dass gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung der zweite Mitnehmer ein Bestandteil des dritten Betätigungselements ist, die Erfindung aber auch eine hierzu inverse Ausführungsform umfasst, bei der der zweite Mitnehmer ein Bestandteil der Entriegelungsscheibe ist.According to a further development of the basic idea according to the invention, the second coupling comprises a blocking element arranged to block the rotation of the blocking shaft and an unlocking disk rotatably mounted about the second axis, wherein the unlocking disk is secured by means of a second rigid carrier third actuator is driven, that the blocking element is displaceable by a arranged on the outer contour of the unlocking cam from a first, the locking shaft locking position in a second, a rotation of the locking shaft releasing position. The blocking element is held in its basic position blocking the blocking shaft by spring force and can only be released from this basic position by means of a force component which is counter to the spring force and can be induced by moving the third actuating element. By means of the switching cam of the unlocking disk, such a translational force component opposite to the spring force is generated about the second axis from the rotational movement of the unlocking disk introduced by the third actuating element. In this way, it is ensured that the locking shaft can not be released from its basic position - be it by shaking during transport of the bulk container or by manual intervention of unauthorized persons - and it comes in an extreme case to unlock the actuating shaft. Again, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the second driver is a component of the third actuating element, but the invention also includes an inverse embodiment for this purpose, in which the second driver is a component of the unlocking disk.
Es ist in diesem Zusammenhang besonders einfach und vorteilhaft, wenn das zweite Betätigungselement mittels eines dritten starren Mitnehmers durch die Entriegelungsscheibe antreibbar ist. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform handelt es sich bei diesem Mitnehmer deshalb um eine Art Mitnehmerblech, welches einen flächigen Berührkontakt zwischen Entriegelungsscheibe und zweitem Betätigungselement ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise werden günstigere Reibungsverhältnisse zwischen den beiden Bauteilen erreicht, was insbesondere dann von Relevanz ist, wenn der Betätigungsmechanismus im täglichen Betrieb durch Umgebungsbedingungen etc. verschmutzt. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung bleibt der Betätigungsmechanismus auch unter widrigen Umgebungsbedingungen leichtgängig bedienbar.
Gemäß einer hierzu alternativen, wenngleich kinematisch weniger günstigen Ausführungsvariante wäre es auch möglich, das zweite Betätigungselement mittels des zweiten starren Mitnehmers direkt durch das dritte Betätigungselement anzutreiben, d.h. ohne kinematische Zwischenschaltung der Entriegelungsscheibe. Da in einer solchen Ausführung sowohl die Entriegelungsscheibe als auch das zweite Betätigungselement durch denselben Mitnehmer angetrieben werden, müssten aber die Entriegelungsscheibe und das zweite Betätigungselement derart zueinander versetzt angeordnet sein, dass der Berührkontakt zwischen dem zweiten Mitnehmer und dem zweiten Betätigungselement erst dann erfolgt, wenn der zeitlich frühere Berührkontakt zwischen dem zweiten Mitnehmer und der Entriegelungsscheibe eine Aufhebung der Blockierung der Sperrwelle gegen Verdrehen erzielt hat. Dies führt zu einem Winkelversatz zwischen Entriegelungsscheibe und zweitem Betätigungselement. Im Ergebnis würde jedoch der Mitnehmer an zwei eng zueinander beabstandeten Stellen mit stark unterschiedlich gerichteten Reibkräften belastet werden.It is particularly simple and advantageous in this context if the second actuating element can be driven by means of a third rigid driver through the unlocking disc. In a particularly preferred embodiment, this driver is therefore a kind of driver plate, which allows a surface contact contact between unlocking and second actuator. In this way, more favorable friction conditions between the two components are achieved, which is particularly relevant if the operating mechanism in everyday operation by environmental conditions, etc. dirty. With the solution according to the invention, the actuating mechanism remains easily operable even under adverse environmental conditions.
According to an alternative, although kinematically less favorable embodiment variant, it would also be possible to drive the second actuating element by means of the second rigid driver directly through the third actuator, ie without kinematic interposition of the unlocking. Since in such an embodiment, both the unlocking disc and the second actuator are driven by the same driver, but the unlocking disc and the second actuator should be arranged offset from each other such that the contact between the second driver and the second actuator only takes place when the time earlier contact between the second driver and the unlocking disc has achieved a lifting of the blocking of the locking shaft against rotation. This leads to an angular offset between Entriegelungsscheibe and second actuator. As a result, however, the driver would be charged at two closely spaced locations with highly differently directed frictional forces.
Derartig ungünstige Reibungsverhältnisse würden sich nachteilig auf die Gebrauchstauglichkeit und die Dauerfestigkeit des Betätigungsmechanismus auswirken.Such unfavorable friction conditions would adversely affect the serviceability and fatigue strength of the actuating mechanism.
Die Erfindung sieht ferner vor, dass die Entriegelungsscheibe drehfest an der Stirnseite einer Kopplungswelle angebracht ist, wobei die Kopplungswelle um eine zur zweiten Achse parallele dritte Achse drehbar sowie im Hohlraum der als Hohlwelle ausgeführten Sperrwelle gelagert ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Wirkbewegung zum Lösen des Sperrelements aus der blockierenden Grundstellung zu einem zweiten Teil des erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsmechanismus übertragen werden, der an einer anderen Stelle des Schüttgutbehälters - insbesondere an einer dem ersten Teil des Betätigungsmechanismus gegenüberliegenden Längsseite des Schüttgutbehälters angeordnet ist, und in Bezug auf diesen konstruktiv identisch, aber spiegelbildlich ausgeführt ist. Durch eine solche Anordnung kann die Entladeklappe von der anderen Seite des Schüttgutbehälters aus bzw. wahlweise von einer beliebigen der beiden Seiten aus betätigt werden. Die Erfindung ermöglicht darüber hinaus, dass auf beiden Seiten des Schüttgutbehälters voneinander unabhängig wirksame und zueinander redundante Anordnungen von jeweils einem Sperrelement und einer Entriegelungsscheibe vorhanden sind, welche durch eine einzelne Betätigung des dritten Betätigungselements aus der blockierten Grundstellung gelöst werden können. Auf diese Weise wird die Sicherheit des Betätigungsmechanismus gegen Versagen durch Redundanz erhöht, ohne dass dies zu Nachteilen bei dessen Bedienbarkeit führen würde. In bevorzugter Weise fallen die zweite und die dritte Achse zusammen.The invention further provides that the unlocking disc is non-rotatably mounted on the end face of a coupling shaft, wherein the coupling shaft is rotatable about a third axis parallel to the second axis and mounted in the cavity of the locking shaft designed as a hollow shaft. In this way, the active movement for releasing the locking element from the blocking basic position can be transmitted to a second part of the actuating mechanism according to the invention, which is arranged at another point of the bulk material container - in particular on a longitudinal side of the bulk goods container opposite the first part of the actuating mechanism, and with respect to on this constructively identical, but mirror-image is executed. Such an arrangement allows the unloading flap to be actuated from the other side of the bulk goods container or optionally from any one of the two sides. The invention also makes it possible for mutually independent and mutually redundant arrangements of one blocking element and one unlocking disk to be provided on both sides of the bulk goods container, which can be released from the blocked basic position by a single actuation of the third actuating element. In this way, the safety of the operating mechanism is increased against failure by redundancy, without this would lead to disadvantages in its operability. Preferably, the second and the third axis coincide.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Betätigungsmechanismus eine mechanische Anzeige zur Visualisierung der Stellung des Sperrelementes auf. Dies erleichtert die Bedienung, da eine schnelle und einfache Kontrolle der Stellung des Betätigungsmechanismus schon während des Betätigungsvorgangs ermöglicht wird. Die Anzeige kann beispielsweise in Form eines Zeigers ausgeführt sein, der durch mechanische Kopplung die Stellungen des Sperrelements und somit das Blockieren bzw. die Freigabe der Sperrwelle kennzeichnet.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the actuating mechanism has a mechanical display for visualizing the position of the blocking element. This facilitates the operation, since a quick and easy control of the position of the actuating mechanism is already enabled during the actuation process. The display can be designed, for example, in the form of a pointer which, by mechanical coupling, identifies the positions of the blocking element and thus the blocking or release of the blocking shaft.
Eine sinnvolle Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Betätigungsmechanismus eine drehfest mit der Sperrwelle gekoppelte Nockenscheibe aufweist, welche zum Blockieren eines mit dem dritten Betätigungselement verbundenen Griffs eingerichtet ist. Auf diese Weise kann dem Bedienpersonal eine eindeutige Rückmeldung über die Stellung der Sperrwelle vermittelt werden. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung wird der Griff nur dann zum Einklappen in eine Ruhestellung freigegeben, wenn sich die Sperrwelle in einer Stellung befindet, in der die Sperrklinke eine Drehbewegung der Betätigungswelle blockiert. Der Bediener erhält also über diesen Mechanismus eine für ihn deutlich wahrnehmbare Rückmeldung, ob die von ihm vorgenommenen Bedienhandlungen den erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsmechanismus wieder in einen ordnungsgemäßen und sicheren Zustand überführt haben, in dem ein versehentliches oder zufälliges Öffnen der Entladeklappe nicht mehr möglich ist. Ist das Einklappen des Griffs in die Ruhestellung wegen dessen Blockierung nicht möglich, dann ist dies ein sicheres Indiz, dass die Sperrklinke die Betätigungswelle nicht sperrt und sich somit der erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsmechanismus nicht in einer gesicherten Grund- bzw. Ruhe- bzw. Transportstellung befindet. Dies bedeutet nichts anderes, als dass die Bedienhandlungen nicht vorschriftsmäßig zu Ende gebracht worden sind und noch einer abschließenden Korrektur bedürfen. Alle Elemente dieses Blockiermechanismus sind in einer mit Blechwänden eingehausten sog. "Verschlussbox" integriert und somit aus der Perspektive des Bedieners nicht sichtbar.A useful further development of the invention provides that the actuating mechanism has a non-rotatably coupled to the locking shaft cam, which is adapted for blocking a handle connected to the third actuating element. In this way, the operator a clear feedback about the position of the locking shaft can be taught. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the handle is only released for folding into a rest position when the locking shaft is in a position in which the pawl blocks a rotational movement of the actuating shaft. The operator thus receives via this mechanism a clearly perceptible feedback for him, whether the operations performed by him controls the actuating mechanism according to the invention again in a proper and safe condition have in which an accidental or accidental opening of the unloading hatch is no longer possible. If the folding of the handle into the rest position is not possible because of its blocking, then this is a sure indication that the pawl does not lock the actuating shaft and thus the actuating mechanism according to the invention is not in a secured basic or resting or transport position. This means nothing else than that the operator actions have not been completed properly and still require a final correction. All elements of this blocking mechanism are integrated in a so-called "closure box" housed in sheet metal walls and thus not visible from the perspective of the operator.
Die Erfindung umfasst ferner einen Schienengüterwagen mit mindestens einem Schüttgutbehälter sowie einem Betätigungsmechanismus einer Entladeklappe des mindestens einen Schüttgutbehälters mit einem der vorhergehenden Merkmale. In besonders vorteilhafter Weise verfügt dabei jeder Betätigungsmechanismus über jeweils zwei auf dieselbe Betätigungswelle und dieselbe Sperrwelle einwirkende dritte Betätigungselemente, wobei an zwei zueinander gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten des Schienengüterwagens jeweils ein drittes Betätigungselement angeordnet ist.The invention further comprises a rail freight wagon with at least one bulk goods container and an actuating mechanism of an unloading flap of the at least one bulk goods container having one of the preceding features. In a particularly advantageous manner, each actuating mechanism has in each case two third actuating elements which act on the same actuating shaft and the same blocking shaft, a third actuating element being arranged on two mutually opposite longitudinal sides of the rail freight wagon.
