Definitions

  • the present invention relates to switch devices according to the preamble of claim 1 and rail switches according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • Tongue devices for rail switches in particular for grooved rails, are known in various designs.
  • Tongue devices 10 are known with a tongue 12 of low height and thus also low self-supporting capacity, which must therefore be laid on a continuous slide plate 14 between the stock rail 16 and the auxiliary rail 18 and thus have to be continuously supported. They are referred to as "flatbed tongue devices".
  • the slide plate 14, which is continuous in itself, is interrupted at the point where the adjusting device engages the tongue 12, because this connection is realized by means of a connection piece welded to the tongue from below, which extends into the tongue device chamber 20 under the slide plate 14. Through this opening in the sliding plate 14, all dirt and water from the roadway can penetrate into the tongue device via the opening on the top side and thus also into the tongue device chamber 20.
  • a drainage opening (not shown), which can be connected to drainage devices in the street, is located in the base plate 22 for draining off the dirt and water.
  • a heating rod 26 is expediently arranged under the sliding plate 14 in a cladding tube 24.
  • Tongue devices 40 are known in which the tongue construction and its support on individual support points 42 were taken over from the Vignol turnouts of the railways and adapted to the special conditions of the grooved rail turnouts.
  • the tongues 44 used in this case are, thanks to a larger profile cross-section, significantly higher than flat-bed tongues 12, so that they have coined the name "deep-bed tongue device".
  • the actuating system acts on the side of the tongue 44, so that no special precautions are required for this with regard to the tongue support.
  • the FR 746 535 A D1 discloses the connection of the sliding plate to the webs of the rails in that projections are provided on the sliding plate which reach through openings in the webs, the projections being welded to the webs.
  • the DE 552 276 C relates to a similar configuration, because here too there are projections of the slide plate which are guided through openings in the rail webs, although the weld is not directly between the projections and the rail webs, but intermediate plates are arranged on the projections, which are supported on the rail webs , wherein the projections are welded to the intermediate plates.
  • the EP 0 144 034 A2 relates to a tongue device for grooved rail switches, wherein the tongue rests on a sliding plate block.
  • This slide plate block has bores and corresponding bores are also provided in the rail webs, the rail webs being screwed to the slide plate block by means of screw connections.
  • the DE 10 49 411 B also shows perforations in the rail webs, although here the sliding plate does not itself lie in the perforations on the rail webs, but rather on upstream strips.
  • the DE 482 621 C relates to a solution in which the projections of a sliding plate extend through openings in the rail webs and the projections are welded to the rail webs on the outside, although no base plate is provided.
  • the DE 853 759 C relates to a solution with a base plate, with sliding chairs being provided which are arranged in any desired manner on the rail webs.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to develop tongue devices for rail switches in such a way that the above-mentioned disadvantages are overcome, the tongue device having a higher stability.
  • the tongue devices should be easy to clean and less susceptible to corrosion. They should preferably have a structurally simple and inexpensive to manufacture structure.
  • Reaching through means both an end of the drainage connection at the level of the base plate and a penetration of the base plate, i.e. going beyond it.
  • the individual slide plate can be designed in one or more parts. In particular, it can also be designed to be divided in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the tongue device.
  • the sliding plate is designed to be closed with respect to the sliding surface except for the at least one drainage connection. This effectively prevents soiling, in particular of the tongue device chamber.
  • recesses in the sliding plate for example, structurally determined recesses, such as one that is required for the engagement of an adjusting device on the root of the tongue.
  • Such recesses can preferably be designed to be closed with respect to the tongue device chamber, so that in this way the entry of dirt and water through the recess is prevented.
  • the recess is then a depression.
  • these recesses are also designed as the drainage connection.
  • the drainage connection in the sliding plate is designed as an opening, the opening being connected to a line that is connected to an opening in the base plate, the line preferably being designed as a drainage pipe that extends through the Base plate extends through and under the base plate.
  • the drainage is routed seamlessly to the sliding plate and through the base plate, which prevents fluid communication between the drainage and the area between the sliding plate and the base plate.
  • a closed tongue device chamber is formed by the back and side rails, base plate and slide plate, the drainage connection crossing the tongue device chamber without fluid communication with the tongue device chamber, which prevents contamination and corrosion of the tongue device chamber and there are no additional spaces that can contaminate or corrode.
  • the tongue has a tongue tip and the drainage connection is arranged in the region of the tongue tip. Then the drainage opening does not interfere with any other structural details of the tongue device.
  • the drainage connection is preferably arranged in front of the tongue tip because then the tongue can be supported over its entire surface and there is no friction between the tongue tip and the edges of the drainage connection.
  • a heater is arranged under the sliding plate in the area of the tongue, the heater preferably ending in front of the drainage connection, the heater being arranged in particular in the tongue device chamber, whereby the effective cross-section of the drainage opening can be kept to a maximum, because the heating does not limit this.
  • the slide plate extends completely between the stock rail and the side rail under the tongue. This avoids areas that can contaminate or corrode.
  • the sliding plate is designed with a gradient in the direction of the drainage connection. Drainage of the tongue device is then effected particularly effectively.
  • the sliding plate rests on laterally protruding parts of the jaw and side rails, the laterally protruding parts preferably being formed by recesses in the jaw and side rails, in particular as grooves.
  • the tongue device can be manufactured in a particularly simple and dimensionally stable manner. Instead of grooves, grooves can also be used.
  • the recesses preferably only occupy a maximum of half the width of the web of the back rail or side rail, whereby the back rail or side rail retains sufficient stability.
  • the stock rail and / or the auxiliary rail have at least one opening in their webs, in which the slide plate rests on the web, because this increases the support surface for the slide plate, which makes the tongue device stiffer and more durable.
  • the slide plate is continuously welded to the stock rail and / or the auxiliary rail.
  • the sliding plate can also be welded or simply rest. The welding is therefore carried out continuously parallel to the longitudinal extension of the sliding plate.
  • the projections of the sliding plate into the opening do not have to be welded separately, but can, which further increases the stability.
  • the stock rail is made from a rolled profile, an extruded profile or a billet and the remaining width of the stock rail web is at least 10 mm without taking into account any openings, because the tongue device then has a particularly high stability
  • the tongue preferably having a height of more than 80 mm, in particular greater than or equal to 100 mm.
  • adjusting means are provided for adjusting the tongue, which act on the side of the tongue. In this way, the penetration of water into lower areas of the tongue device can be effectively prevented, since no additional openings in the sliding plate are required there for these adjusting means and, for example, a completely encapsulated tongue device chamber can be used.
  • the drainage connection extends over a width of at least 50%, preferably of at least 65%, in particular of at least 75% of the clear width between the cheek rail and side rail. This makes drainage particularly effective.
  • Fig. 3 and 4th Preferred embodiments of the tongue device 100, 200 according to the invention which obviously are deep-bed tongue devices 100, 200. It should be noted that the Fig. 3 and 4th do not show the openings and welds used according to the invention.
  • the first preferred embodiment shown of the deep-bed tongue device 100 according to the invention has a deep-bed tongue 102 which is manufactured in one piece, milled from a block profile with projections on both sides at the tongue end for three-point fastening on a slide plate 104. (Alternatively, it can also be made in several parts from a conventional profile piece with an adapter for the three-point screw connection at the tongue end on the slide plate 104.)
  • the deep-bed tongue device 100 furthermore has a stock rail 106, which has a profile 105C1 with a groove 109 machined (for example, milled) into the side of the web 108 for receiving the slide plate 104.
  • a conventional side rail 110 made of a machined rectangular profile is provided, which has a groove 112 (for example, milled) for receiving the slide plate 104.
  • the sliding plate 104 is arranged in relation to the clear width LW between the stock rail 106 and the side rail 110, completely bridging the clear width LW, in such a way that it completely supports the drop-bed tongue 102.
  • the slide plate 104 has a drainage connection 114, which is formed by an opening 116 in the slide plate 104, in which for direct drainage a pipe socket 118 is welded in, which extends through an opening 120 in a base plate 122 of the deep bed tongue device 100, namely beyond the base plate 122 into the subsurface 124 of the deep bed tongue device 100, not shown in detail.
  • the pipe socket 118 can also be welded to the base plate 122 in order to to effectively prevent moisture from the underground of the deep-bed tongue device 100 from penetrating into a tongue device chamber 126 formed by slide plate 104, stock rail 106, side rail 110 and base plate 122.
  • the tongue device chamber 126 thus extends completely between the stock rail 106 and side rail 110 in the area of the deep bed tongue 102, whereby the areas 50 usually present in deep bed tongue devices (cf. Fig. 2 ) that are difficult to clean should be avoided.
  • a heater 128 with a heating rod in a heating tube is provided in the tongue device chamber 126 and extends as far as in front of the pipe socket 118.
  • the heating tube of the heater 128 is attached to the underside of the slide plate 104 and leads to an electrical connection in the heater box behind the tongue root in the space between the main track and the branch track rails (all not shown).
  • the pipe socket 118 is in turn arranged with respect to the tongue root (not shown) in front of or at least below the tongue tip 130.
  • the deep-bed tongue device 100 has a connection of an adjusting system on the side of the deep-bed tongue 102, which is formed in one piece or in several parts and which extends into the adjusting box (all elements not shown in detail).
  • the tongue geometry is designed equivalent to a vignole switch with a circular arc 132 subordinate to 134 or can also be configured with a circular arc with a preliminary arc.
  • the tongue device 100 can be produced in one piece as a monoblock, in several parts as a block construction or also in several parts in a welded design.
  • a continuous slide plate 104 combined with a completely continuous tongue device chamber 126 and a continuous drainage connection 114, which does not communicate with the tongue device chamber 126, makes the tongue device 100 easy to clean and there is a risk is banned from pollution and corrosion.
  • Fig. 4 a second preferred embodiment of the tongue device 200 according to the invention is shown, identical reference numerals being used for identical elements.
  • the slide plate 104 rests both in the auxiliary rail 110 on a groove 112 and in the stock rail 202 in a groove 204. Since there is no groove109 here, as in Fig. 3 is provided, but a groove 204, the stock rail 202 is designed to be even more stable.
