Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzvorrichtung für ein elektronisches oder elektrisches Bauteil, insbesondere eine Balise für eine Gleisanlage oder eine Feste Fahrbahn, umfassend ein Trägerelement, das einen Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils aufweist, und zumindest ein Verbindungselement zur Anbindung der Schutzvorrichtung an eine Schwelle der Gleisanlage oder an die Feste Fahrbahn.The invention relates to a protective device for an electronic or electrical component, in particular a balise for a track system or a slab track, comprising a carrier element having a receiving area for receiving the electronic or electrical component, and at least one connecting element for connecting the protective device to a threshold the track system or the slab track.

Weiter betrifft die Erfindung eine Gleisschwelle oder eine Feste Fahrbahn mit einer darauf befestigten Balise, wobei die Balise in einer Schutzvorrichtung angeordnet ist.Further, the invention relates to a track sleeper or a slab track with a balise mounted thereon, the balise being arranged in a protective device.

Schutzvorrichtungen für Balisen sind bereits aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Beispielsweise beschreibt die EP 2 842 828 A1 eine Schutzvorrichtung für Vorrichtungen zwischen Schienen, insbesondere für schwellen- und/oder schienengebundene Vorrichtungen, wie Balisen, umfassend eine Abdeckung, die einen Hohlraum für die Aufnahme der schwellen- und/oder schienengebundenen Vorrichtung begrenzt, und mindestens zwei mit der Abdeckung in Verbindung stehende Befestigungselemente zur Befestigung der Schutzvorrichtung an einer Schiene und/oder einer Schwelle, wobei mindestens eines der Befestigungselemente von einer Freigabelage in eine Arretierlage relativ zur Abdeckung bewegbar ausgebildet ist. Es soll damit das maschinelle Einschottern oder Planieren einer Gleisanlage auch um die Balise ohne deren Beschädigung ermöglicht werden.Protection devices for balises are already known from the prior art. For example, this describes EP 2 842 828 A1 a protection device for devices between rails, in particular for threshold and / or rail-bound devices, such as balises, comprising a cover which defines a cavity for receiving the sill and / or rail-bound device, and at least two fastening elements associated with the cover for fastening the protective device to a rail and / or a threshold, wherein at least one of the fastening elements is designed to be movable relative to the cover from a release position into a locking position. It is thus the mechanical ballasting or leveling a track system also be made possible around the balise without their damage.

Die EP 2 828 137 A1 beschreibt eine Anbringvorrichtung zum Anbringen eines Paares von Balisen an den Schwellen eines Gleises einer Eisenbahnlinie oder dergleichen, umfassend eine erste Trägerbasis zum Tragen einer ersten Balise des Paares, erste Befestigungselemente, die der ersten Trägerbasis zugeordnet sind, um die Anbringvorrichtung an einer ersten Schwelle des Gleises zu fixieren, eine zweite Trägerbasis zum Tragen einer zweiten Balise des Paares, zweite Befestigungselemente, die der zweiten Trägerbasis zugeordnet sind, um die Anbringvorrichtung an einer zweiten Schwelle des Gleises zu fixieren, die sich in einem gegebenen Abstand von der ersten Schwelle befindet, und mechanische Verbindungselemente, die zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Trägerbasis angeordnet sind, wobei der Abstand zwischen den ersten und den zweiten Befestigungselementen selektiv modifizierbar ist.The EP 2 828 137 A1 describes an attachment device for attaching a pair of balises to the sleepers of a railway track or the like, comprising a first support base for supporting a first balise of the pair, first attachment elements associated with the first support base, around the attachment device at a first threshold of the track a second support base for supporting a second balise of the pair, second attachment members associated with the second support base to fix the attachment device to a second threshold of the track located a given distance from the first threshold, and mechanical Connecting elements, which are arranged between the first and the second support base, wherein the distance between the first and the second fastening elements is selectively modifiable.

Die DE 10 2010 020 421 A1 beschreibt eine Befestigungs- und Schutzvorrichtung für eine Euro-Balise, wobei die Euro-Balise im Gleisbereich des schienengebundenen Eisenbahnverkehrs zum Einsatz kommt, und die Balise vorzugsweise mittig und mit ihrer Oberfläche bündig in einer Aussparung in einem Balisenträger eingebettet ist, der auf beiden Stirnflächen in einer abgerundeten oder spitzen Form ausgebildet ist und der eine U-förmige Querschnittsform aufweist, wobei der Balisenträger an seiner der Balise abgewandten Unterseite einen in Querrichtung verlaufenden Kanal in Form einer Nut besitzt und der Balisenträger über mindestens ein Befestigungssystem mit dem Schienenfuß der beiden Schienen/der Fahrbahn oder direkt per Schraubanker mit der Festen Fahrbahn/Schwelle lösbar verbunden ist.The DE 10 2010 020 421 A1 describes a fastening and protection device for a Euro-Balise, the Euro-Balise is used in the track area of the rail-bound railway traffic, and the Balise is preferably embedded centrally and with its surface flush in a recess in a Balisenträger, on both faces in a rounded or pointed shape is formed and having a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, the Balisenträger has on its side facing away from the Balise a transversely extending channel in the form of a groove and the Balisenträger at least one fastening system with the rail of the two rails / Roadway or directly by screw anchor with the slab track / threshold is releasably connected.

Ähnlich dazu beschreibt die DE 10 2010 020 419 A1 eine derartige Befestigungs- und Schutzvorrichtung mit dem Unterschied, dass der Balisenträger rechteckig ausgeführt ist.Similarly describes the DE 10 2010 020 419 A1 Such a fastening and protection device with the difference that the Balisenträger is made rectangular.

Mit all diesen Befestigungs- und Schutzvorrichtungen soll im Wesentlichen erreicht werden, dass die Balise vor Gefährdungen aus dem Eisenbahnbetrieb geschützt ist und die Sende- sowie die Empfangseigenschaften der Balise nicht beeinträchtigt sind.With all these attachment and protection devices should essentially be achieved that the balise is protected against hazards from the railway operation and the transmission and the reception properties of the balise are not affected.

Aufgrund der hohen Geschwindigkeiten von Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen entsteht jedoch eine hohe Sogwirkung, die zu Erschütterungen im Bereich der Balise führt. Bedingt dadurch kann es mit der Zeit zum Lösen der Befestigungsschrauben kommen, mit der der Balisenträger auf der Schwelle befestigt ist.Due to the high speeds of high-speed trains, however, a high suction effect, which leads to vibrations in the Balise area. Due to this, it may come with time to release the mounting screws with which the Balisenträger is mounted on the threshold.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine verbesserte Schutzvorrichtung für im Bereich von Gleisanlagen angeordnete Balisen zu schaffen.It is the object of the invention to provide an improved protection device for arranged in the field of track balises.

Diese Aufgabe der Erfindung wird einerseits durch die eingangs genannte Schutzvorrichtung gelöst, bei der das Verbindungselement zumindest teilweise elastisch nachgebend ausgebildet ist.This object of the invention is achieved on the one hand by the above-mentioned protective device in which the connecting element is formed at least partially elastically yielding.

Weiter wird die Aufgabe der Erfindung mit der eingangs genannten Gleisschwelle oder der Festen Fahrbahn gelöst, bei der die Schutzvorrichtung erfindungsgemäß ausgebildet ist.Next, the object of the invention with the above-mentioned track threshold or slab track is achieved in which the protective device is designed according to the invention.

Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass mit dem zumindest teilweise elastisch nachgebend ausgebildeten Verbindungselement zyklische Beanspruchungen der Befestigung der Schutzvorrichtung auf der Schwelle bzw. dem jeweiligen Untergrund, wie z.B. der einer sogenannten Festen Fahrbahn, besser von dem Verbindungselement aufgenommen werden können. Dies wiederum ist nicht nur in Hinblick auf die Reduktion von Erschütterungen des elektronischen bzw. elektrischen Bauteils von Vorteil. Vor allem kann damit eine sicherere Anbindung der Schutzvorrichtung an den Untergrund, insbesondere eine Schwelle, erreicht werden.The advantage here is that with the at least partially elastically yielding connecting element cyclic stresses the attachment of the protection device on the threshold or the respective substrate, such. the so-called slab track, can be better absorbed by the connecting element. This, in turn, is not only advantageous with regard to the reduction of vibrations of the electronic or electrical component. Above all, a safer connection of the protective device to the ground, in particular a threshold, can thus be achieved.

Nach einer Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass an dem Verbindungselement zwei über eine Unterseite des Verbindungselementes vorragende Sicherungselemente angeordnet sind. Diese Sicherungselemente sind insbesondere dafür vorgesehen, um bei einer Gleisanlage bis in das die Gleis schwelle umgebende Schotterbett hineinragen. Es kann damit die Anbindung der Schutzvorrichtung an den Untergrund weiter verbessert werden. Darüber hinaus können damit gegebenenfalls auftretende Vibrationen aus dem System Schutzvorrichtung-Gleisschwelle in das umgebende Schotterbett abgeleitet werden. Dies wiederum kann u.U. zu einer Nachverdichtung des Schotterbettes im Bereich der Gleisschwelle führen.According to a variant embodiment of the protective device, it can be provided that two securing elements projecting beyond a lower side of the connecting element are arranged on the connecting element. These security elements are particularly intended to protrude at a track system to the track threshold surrounding ballast bed. It can thus be further improved the connection of the protection device to the ground. In addition, any vibrations that may occur from the system guardrail threshold can be diverted into the surrounding ballast bed. This in turn may u.U. lead to a re-compaction of the ballast bed in the area of the track sill.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsvariante dazu kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Sicherungselemente zumindest annähernd zahnförmig ausgebildet sind. Es wird damit der Einbau der Schutzvorrichtung vereinfacht, indem das Sicherungselement einfacher in den Untergrund, insbesondere das Schotterbett eindringen kann. Gegebenenfalls kann damit aber auch die Ausreißfestigkeit der Schutzvorrichtung verbessert werden, wenn das Sicherungselement bereits bei der Herstellung des Untergrundes, also beispielsweise bei der Herstellung einer Festen Fahrbahn, mitberücksichtigt wird, beispielsweise zumindest teilweise einbetoniert wird. Damit kann auch die nachträgliche Montage des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils vereinfacht werden, indem nur mehr das Trägerelement mit dem Verbindungselement verbunden werden muss.According to an embodiment variant, it can be provided that the securing elements are at least approximately tooth-shaped. It is thus simplifies the installation of the protection device by the fuse element easier to penetrate into the ground, in particular the ballast bed. Optionally, but also the tear resistance of the protective device can be improved if the securing element is already taken into account in the production of the substrate, so for example in the production of a slab track, for example, at least partially embedded in concrete. Thus, the subsequent assembly of the electronic or electrical component can be simplified by only the support member must be connected to the connecting element.

Bevorzugt bestehen nach einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung die Sicherungselemente aus einem härteren Werkstoff, als das Verbindungselement. Es kann damit die Weiterleitung von Schwingungen in die die Sicherungselemente aufnehmende Bodenkonstruktion verbessert werden.Preferably, according to a further embodiment of the protection device, the securing elements made of a harder material, as the connecting element. It can do that the transmission of vibrations into the securing elements receiving floor construction can be improved.

Es kann gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung vorgesehen sein, dass zumindest zwei Verbindungselemente vorgesehen sind, die in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Es kann damit auf einfache konstruktive Art Platz für die Aufnahme eines Leiterelementes geschaffen werden. Zudem kann durch das Vorsehen von zwei separaten Verbindungselementen die Anbindung der Schutzvorrichtung an den Untergrund sicherer ausgeführt werden.It can be provided according to another embodiment of the protection device, that at least two connecting elements are provided, which are arranged at a distance from each other. It can thus be created in a simple constructive way space for receiving a conductor element. In addition, by providing two separate connecting elements, the connection of the protective device to the ground can be made safer.

Nach einer Ausführungsvariante kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das Trägerelement zumindest teilweise durch zumindest eines der Verbindungselemente gebildet wird. Es können damit die voranstehend genannten Effekte unmittelbarer an dem elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteil verwirklicht werden, indem dieses direkt an dem elastisch nachgebenden Verbindungselement anliegend angeordnet werden kann.According to one embodiment, it can also be provided that the carrier element is at least partially formed by at least one of the connecting elements. It can thus be realized directly on the electronic or electrical component, the effects mentioned above by this can be arranged directly adjacent to the elastically yielding connecting element.

Bevorzugt wird auf dem Trägerelement ein mehrteiliges Abdeckelement angeordnet, da damit der nachträgliche Einbau des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils vereinfacht werden kann.Preferably, a multi-part cover member is arranged on the carrier element, since thus the subsequent installation of the electronic or electrical component can be simplified.

Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Abdeckelement zwei seitliche Aufprallschutzelemente und ein Deckelelement umfasst, wobei das Deckelelement mit den Aufprallschutzelementen lösbar oder unlösbar verbunden ist. Durch die Trennung ist es möglich, die beiden Aufprallschutzelemente aus einem zum Deckelement unterschiedlichen Werkstoff hergestellt werden kann. Dies wiederum kann dazu verwendet werden, um das darunterliegende, elastisch nachgebende Verbindungselement besser vor mechanischen Beeinträchtigungen, beispielsweise in Folge der Zugüberfahrt, geschützt werden kann.In this case, it is preferably provided that the cover element comprises two lateral impact protection elements and a cover element, wherein the cover element is detachably or non-detachably connected to the impact protection elements. Due to the separation, it is possible that the two impact protection elements can be produced from a different material to the cover element. This, in turn, can be used to better protect the underlying elastically yielding fastener from mechanical damage, for example as a result of train passing.

Die Aufprallschutzelemente können gemäß einer Ausführungsvariante dazu zumindest teilweise mit einer abgeschrägten Oberseite ausgebildet sein, wodurch gegebenenfalls auf der Schutzvorrichtung aufprallende Gegenstände, z.B. Steine, besser abgeleitet werden können. Zum besseren Verständnis der Erfindung wird diese anhand der nachfolgenden Figuren näher erläutert.According to one embodiment variant, the impact protection elements may be formed at least partially with a beveled upper side, as a result of which objects possibly impacting on the protective device, eg stones, can be better dissipated. For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

Die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen eine Ausführungsvariante einer Schutzvorrichtung 1 in verschiedenen Darstellungen. Die Schutzvorrichtung 1 dient der Aufnahme und dem Schutz eines elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils, insbesondere einer Balise 2, wie sie im Bereich von Gleisanlagen verwendet wird.The Fig. 1 to 3 show a variant of a protective device 1 in various representations. The protective device 1 serves to receive and protect an electronic or electrical component, in particular a balise 2, as used in the field of track systems.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei angemerkt, dass unter Balisen 2 technische Einrichtungen im Bereich von Eisenbahngleisen verstanden werden, die bahnbetriebliche Informationen speichern und sie an Schienenfahrzeuge übertragen, die den Ort einer Balise 2 passieren. Von ihrer Funktionsweise her sind Balisen 2 daher Transponder.For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that Balise 2 is understood to mean technical facilities in the area of railway tracks which store railway information and transmit it to rail vehicles passing the location of a balise 2. Due to their functionality, balises 2 are therefore transponders.

Obwohl diese Verwendung der Schutzvorrichtung 1 die bevorzugte ist, kann sie auch für andere elektronische oder elektrische Bauteile verwendet werden.Although this use of the protection device 1 is the preferred one, it can also be used for other electronic or electrical components.

Die Schutzvorrichtung 1 umfasst ein Trägerelement und zumindest ein Verbindungselement 3, wobei in der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung 1 das Trägerelement zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zur Gänze, durch das zumindest eine Verbindungselement 3 gebildet ist, wie dies aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 ersichtlich ist.The protective device 1 comprises a carrier element and at least one connecting element 3, wherein in the illustrated preferred embodiment of the protective device 1, the carrier element is at least partially, in particular entirely, formed by the at least one connecting element 3, as shown in FIGS FIGS. 1 to 3 is apparent.

Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dass das Trägerelement durch ein gesondertes, insbesondere plattenförmiges, Bauteil gebildet wird, das mit dem Verbindungselement 3 verbunden ist, insbesondere auf diesem angeordnet ist, vorzugsweise unmittelbar darauf angeordnet ist.However, there is also the possibility that the carrier element is formed by a separate, in particular plate-shaped, component, which is connected to the connecting element 3, in particular arranged on this, preferably arranged directly on it.

Im Falle eines gesonderten Bauteils kann das Trägerelement auch mit einer Vertiefung zur zumindest teilweisen Aufnahme des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils, ausgebildet sein.In the case of a separate component, the carrier element may also be formed with a recess for at least partially receiving the electronic or electrical component.

Das Trägerelement und/oder das Verbindungselement 3 weist/weisen also einen Aufnahmebereich 4 zur Aufnahme des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils auf. Dieser Aufnahmebereich 4 kann im einfachsten Fall durch das Volumen definiert sein, das im zusammengebauten Zustand der Schutzvorrichtung 1 zwischen dem Verbindungselement 3 bzw. dem Trägerelement und einem Abdeckelement 5 für die Aufnahme des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils frei bleibt.The carrier element and / or the connecting element 3 thus has / have a receiving region 4 for receiving the electronic or electrical component. In the simplest case, this receiving area 4 can be defined by the volume which, in the assembled state of the protective device 1, remains free between the connecting element 3 or the carrier element and a cover element 5 for receiving the electronic or electrical component.

Die Anbindung an bzw. Verbindung mit dem Untergrund erfolgt über das Verbindungselement 3.The connection to or connection to the ground via the connecting element. 3

Der Untergrund ist insbesondere eine Gleisschwelle 6, wie sie in Fig. 4 angedeutet ist, bzw. das diese umgebende Schotterbett. Er kann aber auch durch eine sogenannte Feste Fahrbahn gebildet sein.The ground is in particular a track sleeper 6, as in Fig. 4 is indicated, or the surrounding ballast bed. But it can also be formed by a so-called slab track.

Das Verbindungselement 3 ist zumindest teilweise (rück)federnd, d.h. elastisch nachgebend ausgebildet. Das Rückfedern des Verbindungselementes 3 kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass das Verbindungselement 3 aus einem entsprechenden nachgebenden Werkstoff und/oder in einer entsprechenden Wandstärke und/oder einer entsprechenden Länge hergestellt ist.The connecting element 3 is at least partially (rear) resilient, ie elastically yielding. The springback of the connecting element 3 can be achieved, for example be that the connecting element 3 is made of a corresponding compliant material and / or in a corresponding wall thickness and / or a corresponding length.

Als Werkstoff für das Verbindungselement 3 kann beispielsweise ein Kunststoff, wie z.B. eine Hartkunststoff eingesetzt werden. Gegebenenfalls kann in dem Verbindungselement 3 eine Verstärkungslage eingebettet sein, beispielsweise Fasern, wie z.B. Glasfasern.As a material for the connecting element 3, for example, a plastic, such. a hard plastic can be used. Optionally, a reinforcing layer may be embedded in the connecting element 3, for example fibers such as e.g. Glass fibers.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass das Verbindungselement 3 zumindest teilweise aus zumindest einem Elastomer, wie z.B. einem vulkanisiertem (Natur-) Gummi, bestehen. Insbesondere kann das gesamte Verbindungselement 3 aus zumindest einem Elastomer bestehen. Es ist auch möglich, dass das Verbindungselement 3 aus mehr als einem elastomeren Werkstoff besteht, beispielsweise aus zwei oder mehr, insbesondere miteinander verbundenen, Elastomeren. Diese können beispielsweise schichtweise in dem Verbindungselement 3 angeordnet sein. Es kann damit das (rück)federnde Verhalten des Verbindungselementes 3 beeinflusst und angepasst werden.But it is also possible that the connecting element 3 at least partially made of at least one elastomer, such. a vulcanised (natural) rubber. In particular, the entire connecting element 3 may consist of at least one elastomer. It is also possible that the connecting element 3 consists of more than one elastomeric material, for example of two or more, in particular interconnected, elastomers. These may for example be arranged in layers in the connecting element 3. It can thus be influenced and adapted to the (re) resilient behavior of the connecting element 3.

Es ist weiter möglich, dass das Verbindungselement 3 Durchbrüche oder Ausnehmungen aufweist, um das (rück)federnde Verhalten zu beeinflussen. Diese Ausnehmungen oder Durchbrüche können rund, oval, rechteckig, quadratisch, etc. sein.It is also possible that the connecting element 3 has openings or recesses in order to influence the (re) resilient behavior. These recesses or openings may be round, oval, rectangular, square, etc.

Das Verbindungselement 3 kann eine Länge (in Gleisrichtung) aufweisen, die ausgewählt ist aus einem Bereich von 300 mm bis 900 mm, insbesondere aus einem Bereich von 350 mm bis 520 mm.The connecting element 3 may have a length (in the track direction) which is selected from a range of 300 mm to 900 mm, in particular from a range of 350 mm to 520 mm.

Bevorzugt ist das Verbindungselement 3 deutlich länger als breit. Die Länge des Verbindungselementes (in Gleisrichtung betrachtet) kann um zweimal bis fünfmal, insbesondere um zweimal bis viermal, größer sein als die Breite des Verbindungselementes 3.Preferably, the connecting element 3 is significantly longer than it is wide. The length of the connecting element (viewed in the direction of the track) may be greater than the width of the connecting element 3 by two to five times, in particular by two to four times.

Die Wandstärke des Verbindungselementes 3 kann beispielsweise ausgewählt sein aus einem Bereich von 5 mm bis 40 mm, insbesondere aus einem Bereich von 10 mm bis 25 mm. Durch das Rückfedern des Verbindungselementes 3 wird erreicht, dass bei einem überfahrenden Zug der Fahrtwind die Schutzvorrichtung 1 bedingt durch die Sogwirkung nicht abhebt.The wall thickness of the connecting element 3 may for example be selected from a range of 5 mm to 40 mm, in particular from a range of 10 mm to 25 mm. Due to the spring-back of the connecting element 3, it is ensured that, in the case of a passing train, the airstream does not lift the protective device 1 due to the suction effect.

Wie erwähnt kann das gesamte Verbindungselement 3 aus zumindest einem Elastomer bestehen. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass nur ein Bereich oder mehrere Bereiche des Verbindungselementes 3 aus zumindest einem Elastomer bestehen. Beispielsweise können die Bereiche der und/oder um die Anordnung von Schrauben 7 aus zumindest einem Elastomer bestehen.As mentioned, the entire connecting element 3 may consist of at least one elastomer. But it is also possible that only one area or several areas of the connecting element 3 consist of at least one elastomer. For example, the regions of and / or around the arrangement of screws 7 can consist of at least one elastomer.

In der einfachsten Ausführungsvariante ist das Verbindungselement 3 plattenförmig ausgebildet. Diese Ausführungsvariante eignet sich insbesondere für eine Feste Fahrbahn.In the simplest embodiment, the connecting element 3 is plate-shaped. This embodiment is particularly suitable for a slab track.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung 1 ist an dem Verbindungselement 3 jedoch zumindest einseitig, bevorzugt beidseitig, ein Sicherungselement 8 angeordnet. Insbesondere ist dieses Sicherungselement 8 einstückig mit dem Verbindungselement 3 ausgebildet.According to a preferred embodiment of the protective device 1, however, a securing element 8 is arranged on the connecting element 3 at least on one side, preferably on both sides. In particular, this securing element 8 is formed integrally with the connecting element 3.

Das Sicherungselement 8 ragt über eine Unterseite 9 des Verbindungselementes 3 vor. Weiter schließt es mit dem Verbindungselement 3 einen Winkel 10 ein (wie dies insbesondere aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist). Dieser Winkel 10 kann insbesondere ausgewählt sein aus einem Bereich von 95 ° bis 160 °, vorzugsweise aus einem Bereich von 105 ° bis 135 °. Beispielsweise kann der Winkel 10 120 ° betragen. Somit ragt das zumindest eine Sicherungselement 8 in Richtung auf den Untergrund vor, auf dem die Schutzvorrichtung 1 angeordnet wird. Für den Fall, dass das Verbindungselement 3 breiter ist, als die Gleisschwelle 6 (in Richtung der Schienen einer Gleisstrecke betrachtet), kann damit das Sicherungselement 8 in ein Schotterbett 11 eindringen, wie dies in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist.The securing element 8 projects beyond an underside 9 of the connecting element 3. Further, it includes with the connecting element 3 an angle 10 (as in particular Fig. 1 it can be seen). This angle 10 may in particular be selected from a range of 95 ° to 160 °, preferably from a range of 105 ° to 135 °. For example, the angle 10 can be 120 °. Thus, the at least one securing element 8 protrudes in the direction of the substrate on which the protective device 1 is arranged. In the event that the connecting element 3 is wider than the sleepers 6 (viewed in the direction of the rails of a track section), so that the securing element 8 can penetrate into a ballast bed 11, as in Fig. 4 is shown.

Das Sicherungselement 8 kann das Verbindungselement 3 über eine Höhe 12 (Fig. 4) überragen, die beispielsweise ausgewählt ist aus einem Bereich von 5 cm bis 15 cm.The securing element 8 can support the connecting element 3 over a height 12 (FIG. Fig. 4 ), which is for example selected from a range of 5 cm to 15 cm.

In dieser beschriebenen Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung 1 ist das Sicherungselement 8 lösbar in besagtem Untergrund angeordnet. Das Sicherungselement 8 kann aber auch unlösbar mit dem Untergrund verbunden werden, beispielsweise in eine Feste Fahrbahn einbetoniert werden.In this described embodiment of the protective device 1, the securing element 8 is arranged detachably in said substrate. But the fuse element 8 can also Inextricably linked to the ground, for example, be embedded in a slab track.

Es sei erwähnt, dass alle Sicherungselemente 8 eines Verbindungselementes 3 oder der Verbindungselemente 3 gleich ausgeführt sein können.It should be noted that all securing elements 8 of a connecting element 3 or the connecting elements 3 can be made equal.

Prinzipiell kann das Sicherungselement 8 platten- und rechteckförmig ausgebildet sein. Bevorzugt ist das Sicherungselement 8 jedoch zumindest annähernd zahnförmig ausgebildet, d.h. es weist auf seiner freien Stirnseite eine Verzahnung 13 mit einem oder mehreren Zähnen 14 (auch als Krallen bezeichenbar) auf. In der dargestellten Ausführungsvariante des Schutzvorrichtung 1 sind drei Zähne 14 pro Sicherungselement 8 dargestellt. Diese Anzahl ist aber nicht beschränkend zu verstehen.In principle, the securing element 8 can be plate-shaped and rectangular. Preferably, however, the securing element 8 is at least approximately tooth-shaped, i. it has on its free end face a toothing 13 with one or more teeth 14 (also markable as claws). In the illustrated embodiment of the protective device 1, three teeth 14 per fuse element 8 are shown. This number is not meant to be limiting.

Die Zähne 14 können zumindest annähernd dreieckförmig ausgebildet sein. Zahnköpfe 15 der Zähne 14 können gerundet ausgeführt sein. Es sind aber auch andere Zahnformen möglich. Beispielsweise können die Zähne 14 im Verlauf einer Zahnflanke 16 auch eine, gegebenenfalls hinterschnittene, Ausnehmung 17 aufweisen, wie dies in Fig. 1 strichliert angedeutet ist.The teeth 14 may be at least approximately triangular. Tooth heads 15 of the teeth 14 may be made rounded. But there are also other forms of teeth possible. For example, in the course of a tooth flank 16, the teeth 14 may also have an optionally undercut recess 17, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is indicated by dashed lines.

Das Sicherungselement 8 weist eine Breite 18 auf. Die Zähne 14 können sich über nur einen Teilbereich dieser Breite 18 erstrecken, wie dies in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellt ist. Die Zähne 14 haben damit also eine gemeinsame Basis 19, von der aus sie sich erstrecken. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass sich die Zähne 14 über die gesamte Breite 18 des Sicherungselementes 8 erstrecken, sodass Zahnfüße 20 der Zähne 14 an das Verbindungselement 3 anschließend ausgebildet sind.The securing element 8 has a width 18. The teeth 14 may extend over only a portion of this width 18, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 3 is shown. The teeth 14 thus have a common base 19, from which they extend. But it is also possible that the teeth 14 extend over the entire width 18 of the securing element 8, so that the tooth roots 20 of the teeth 14 are subsequently formed on the connecting element 3.

Die Basis 19 ist insbesondere plattenförmig ausgebildet, bevorzugt in der gleichen Wandstärke wie das Verbindungselement 3, und kann beispielsweise rechteckförmig oder quadratisch ausgebildet sein.The base 19 is in particular plate-shaped, preferably in the same wall thickness as the connecting element 3, and may for example be rectangular or square.

Bevorzugt besteht das Sicherungselement 8 aus einem zum Werkstoff des Verbindungselementes 3 härteren Werkstoff. Beispielsweise kann das Sicherungselement 8 aus einem Metall oder einem Hartkunststoff bestehen.Preferably, the securing element 8 consists of a material harder for the material of the connecting element 3. For example, the securing element 8 may consist of a metal or a hard plastic.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass das Sicherungselement 8 zumindest teilweise, insbesondere zur Gänze, aus dem Werkstoff des Verbindungselementes 3 besteht.But it is also possible that the securing element 8 at least partially, in particular in its entirety, consists of the material of the connecting element 3.

Weiter kann das Sicherungselement 8 auch aus einem zum Werkstoff des Verbindungselementes 3 weicheren Werkstoff bestehen.Furthermore, the securing element 8 can also consist of a material which is softer to the material of the connecting element 3.

Bei Verwendung von verschiedenen Werkstoffen für das oder die Sicherungselement(e) 8 und das Verbindungselement 3 können zu deren Verbindung die bekannten Verbindungsverfahren eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise Verschrauben, Verkleben, Anvulkanisieren, etc.When using different materials for the fuse element (s) 8 and the connecting element 3, the known connection methods can be used for their connection, for example screwing, gluing, scorching, etc.

Das Verbindungselement 8 kann sich über eine gesamte Breite 21 des Abdeckelementes 5 erstrecken, sodass die Schutzvorrichtung 1 nur ein Verbindungselement 3 aufweist.The connecting element 8 can extend over an entire width 21 of the cover element 5, so that the protective device 1 has only one connecting element 3.

Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, dass die Schutzvorrichtung 1 mehr als ein Verbindungselement 3 aufweist, beispielsweise zwei, wie dies in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellt ist.But there is also the possibility that the protective device 1 has more than one connecting element 3, for example two, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 3 is shown.

Dabei ist es gemäß einer Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung 1 möglich, dass die (beiden) Verbindungselemente 3 beabstandet zueinander angeordnet werden, sodass zwischen den Verbindungselementen 3 ein Kanal 22 ausgebildet wird. Dieser Kanal 22 kann beispielsweise dazu verwendet werden, um darin ein Leiterelement, beispielsweise eine Linienleiter 23, anzuordnen. Das Leiterelement kann z.B. der Stromversorgung des elektronischen oder elektrischen Bauteils in der Schutzvorrichtung 1 und/oder der Informationsweiterleitung dienen.In this case, according to an embodiment variant of the protective device 1, it is possible for the (two) connecting elements 3 to be arranged at a distance from one another so that a channel 22 is formed between the connecting elements 3. This channel 22 can be used, for example, to arrange a conductor element, for example a line conductor 23, therein. The conductor element may e.g. serve the power supply of the electronic or electrical component in the protection device 1 and / or the information forwarding.

Sofern mehr als ein Verbindungselement 3 angeordnet sind, besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass jedes Verbindungselement 3 nur ein Sicherungselement 3 aufweist, wobei diese Sicherungselemente 3 diagonal versetzt zueinander angeordnet sein können.If more than one connecting element 3 are arranged, there is also the possibility that each connecting element 3 has only one securing element 3, wherein these securing elements 3 can be arranged diagonally offset from one another.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, ist nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante auf dem Trägerelement, d.h. in dieser Ausführung auf dem Verbindungselement 3, ein mehrteiliges Abdeckelement 5 angeordnet. Diese mehrteilige Abdeckelement 5 besteht aus bzw. umfasst zwei Aufprallschutzelemente 24 und ein Deckelelement 25.As in particular from Fig. 3 it can be seen, according to a preferred embodiment variant on the support element, that is arranged in this embodiment on the connecting element 3, a multi-part cover member 5. This multi-part cover element 5 consists of or comprises two impact protection elements 24 and a cover element 25.

Die Aufprallschutzelemente 24 sind mit dem oder den Verbindungselemente(n) 3 bzw. dem Trägerelement verbunden, beispielsweise über die bereits angesprochenen Schrauben 7, wobei auch andere Verbindungsmethoden angewandt werden können.The impact protection elements 24 are connected to the connection element (s) 3 or the support element, for example via the already mentioned screws 7, wherein other connection methods can also be used.

Das Deckelelement 25 wiederum ist mit den beiden Aufprallschutzelementen 24 verbunden, insbesondere lösbar verbunden, beispielsweise ebenfalls mittels Schrauben. Die Verbindung erfolgt dabei derart, dass die beiden Aufprallschutzelemente 24 beabstandet zueinander angeordnet sind und damit der Aufnahmebereich 4 für das elektronische oder elektrische Bauteil, beispielsweise die Balise 2, ausgebildet wird.The cover element 25 in turn is connected to the two impact protection elements 24, in particular releasably connected, for example also by means of screws. The connection takes place in such a way that the two impact protection elements 24 are arranged at a distance from each other and thus the receiving area 4 for the electronic or electrical component, for example the balise 2, is formed.

Wie weiter aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 zu erkennen ist, können nach einer Ausführungsvariante dazu die Aufprallschutzelemente 24 zumindest teilweise mit einer abgeschrägten Oberseite 26 ausgebildet sein, wobei die Abschrägung insbesondere in Richtung der Fahrtrichtung eines (Schienen)Fahrzeugs verläuft.How further from the FIGS. 1 to 3 can be seen, according to a variant, the impact protection elements 24 may be at least partially formed with a bevelled top 26, wherein the chamfer extends in particular in the direction of travel of a (rail) vehicle.

Sowohl das Deckelelement 25 als auch die beiden Aufprallschutzelement 24 können aus einem, gegebenenfalls verstärkten, Kunststoff bestehen. Sie können aus dem gleichen oder aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen bestehen.Both the cover element 25 and the two impact protection element 24 may consist of one, possibly reinforced, plastic. They can consist of the same or different materials.

Wie bereits mehrfach ausgeführt wird die Schutzvorrichtung 1 als Schutz für ein elektronisches oder elektrisches Bauteil, insbesondere die Balise 2, verwendet. Dazu werden in der bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Schutzvorrichtung 1 in einem ersten Schritt die Aufprallschutzelemente 24 mit dem zumindest einen, insbesondere den beiden, Verbindungselement(en) 3 verbunden. Diese Baugruppe wird dann in der Folge auf dem jeweiligen Untergrund, also z.B. der Gleisschwelle 6 und dem Schotterbett 11, angeordnet. Zur festeren Anbindung der Schutzvorrichtung 1 kann vorgesehen sein, dass diese mit der Gleisschwelle verbunden, beispielsweise verschraubt wird. Dies kann beispielsweise über Durchbrüche 27 in den beiden Aufprallschutzelementen 24 erfolgen. Die entsprechenden Durchbrüche in den Verbindungselementen 3 sind in den Figuren nicht dargestellt.As already stated several times, the protective device 1 is used as protection for an electronic or electrical component, in particular the balise 2. For this purpose, in the preferred embodiment of the protective device 1, in a first step, the impact protection elements 24 are connected to the at least one, in particular the two, connecting element (s) 3. This assembly is then subsequently placed on the respective underground, e.g. the sleepers 6 and the ballast bed 11, arranged. For tighter connection of the protection device 1 can be provided that this is connected to the track sill, for example, screwed. This can be done for example via openings 27 in the two impact protection elements 24. The corresponding openings in the connecting elements 3 are not shown in the figures.

Sollten die Sicherungselemente 8 vorhanden sind, werden diese in das Schotterbett 11 hineinragend angeordnet.If the securing elements 8 are present, they are arranged protruding into the ballast bed 11.

Nach der Anordnung des elektronischen bzw. elektrischen Bauteils wird das Deckelelement 25 auf den beiden Aufprallschutzelementen 24 befestigt.After the arrangement of the electronic or electrical component, the cover element 25 is fastened on the two impact protection elements 24.

Es kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass im ersten Schritt das Deckelelement 25 auf mit den Aufprallschutzelementen 24 verbunden wird und dieses danach für die Anordnung des elektronischen bzw. elektrischen Bauteils demontiert und wieder montiert werden muss.But it can also be provided that in the first step, the lid member 25 is connected to the impact protection elements 24 and this then has to be dismantled and reassembled for the arrangement of the electronic or electrical component.

Das elektronische bzw. elektrische Bauteil selbst kann ebenfalls mit dem Untergrund, beispielsweise mit der Gleisschwelle 6 verbunden, insbesondere verschraubt werden, wobei sich die Verbindungsmittel durch die Verbindungsmittel 3 hindurch erstrecken.The electronic or electrical component itself can also be connected to the ground, for example, connected to the track sill 6, in particular screwed, wherein the connecting means extend through the connecting means 3 therethrough.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Aufprallschutzelemente 24 mit dem Schotterbett 11 verbunden werden, beispielsweise mittels Verbundanker, die sich durch die Durchbrüche 27 in den Aufprallschutzelementen 24 hindurch in Schotterbett 11 erstreckend angeordnet werden können.It can also be provided that the impact protection elements 24 are connected to the ballast bed 11, for example by means of composite anchors, which can be arranged extending through the apertures 27 in the impact protection elements 24 in ballast bed 11.

Im Falle des Einsatzes des Sicherungselementes 1 bei einer Festen Fahrbahn, können die Verbundanker über die Durchbrüche 27 mit dem Beton der Festen Fahrbahn verbunden werden.In the case of the use of the fuse element 1 at a slab track, the compound anchors can be connected via the openings 27 with the concrete slab track.

Die Ausrichtung der Schutzvorrichtung 1 erfolgt vorzugsweise so, dass die Sicherheitselemente 8 in Fahrtrichtung eines Fahrzeuges betrachtet vorne bzw. hinten angeordnet sind.The alignment of the protective device 1 is preferably carried out so that the security elements 8 viewed in the direction of travel of a vehicle are arranged front or rear.

Die Schutzvorrichtung 1 hat auch den Vorteil, dass sie wie ein Diffusor wirkt, sodass der durch ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Schienenfahrzeug, verursachte Luftzug die Schutzvorrichtung 1 nicht abheben kann.The protection device 1 also has the advantage that it acts like a diffuser, so that the draft caused by a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, the safety device 1 can not lift.

Die Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen bzw. beschreiben mögliche Ausführungsvarianten der Schutzvorrichtung 1, wobei an dieser Stelle bemerkt sei, dass auch diverse Kombinationen der einzelnen Ausführungsvarianten untereinander möglich sind.The embodiments show or describe possible embodiments of the protective device 1, wherein it should be noted at this point that various combinations of the individual embodiments are possible with each other.

Weiters können auch Einzelmerkmale oder Merkmalskombinationen aus den gezeigten und beschriebenen unterschiedlichen Ausführungsbeispielen für sich eigenständige, erfinderische oder erfindungsgemäße Lösungen darstellen. So kann beispielsweise eine Schutzvorrichtung 1 mit einem mehrteiligen Abdeckelement 5 mit den beiden Aufprallschutzelementen 24 und dem damit verbundenen, insbesondere plattenförmigen, Deckelelement 25 für sich eine eigene Erfindung darstellen, auch wenn das Verbindungselement 3 nicht vorhanden ist oder anders als voranstehend beschrieben ausgeführt ist.Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described different embodiments may be self-standing, inventive or represent solutions according to the invention. Thus, for example, a protective device 1 with a multi-part cover member 5 with the two impact protection elements 24 and the associated, in particular plate-shaped, cover member 25 represent a separate invention, even if the connecting element 3 is not present or otherwise designed as described above.

Der Ordnung halber sei abschließend darauf hingewiesen, dass zum besseren Verständnis des Aufbaus der Schutzvorrichtung 1diese bzw. deren Bestandteile nicht zwingenderweise maßstäblich dargestellt wurden.For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the construction of the protective device 1, this or its components were not necessarily drawn to scale.
