Description

SYSTEME POUR SOUDER UNE BANDE DE PROTECTION SUR UNE ECLISSE DE RAIL ET PROCEDE ASSOCIE.  SYSTEM FOR WELDING A PROTECTIVE STRIP ON A RAIL CHIMNEY AND ASSOCIATED METHOD.
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif adapté pour réaliser une étanchéité le long d'un rail enterré dans un substrat. L'invention se rapporte aussi à un procédé de mise en œuvre d'une telle étanchéité. The present invention relates to a device adapted to achieve a seal along a rail buried in a substrate. The invention also relates to a method of implementing such a seal.
Pour certains véhicules roulant sur rail, notamment les tramways, les rails ne doivent pas constituer un obstacle pour une circulation piétonne ou automobile qui circule sur la même plate-forme que celle utilisée par le véhicule sur rail. C'est notamment le cas lorsque cette plate- orme est une chaussée routière partagée par un tramway. Les rails sont alors généralement prévus enterrés dans un substrat de cette plate- forme, de façon à être affleurant avec la plate- forme. For certain rail vehicles, in particular trams, the rails must not constitute an obstacle for pedestrian or automobile traffic on the same platform as that used by the rail vehicle. This is particularly the case when this platform is a road pavement shared by a tramway. The rails are then generally provided buried in a substrate of this platform, so as to be flush with the platform.
Comme particulièrement illustré par le document FR 2 885 372, le rail est de préférence prévu isolé du substrat par un système d'éclisses. Les éclisses assurent notamment une isolation phonique, une isolation électrique et une étanchéité autour du rail vis-à-vis de son environnement. Il faut néanmoins s'assurer que de l'humidité ne pénètre pas, ou peu, entre un revêtement de cette plate-forme et le rail. Le revêtement est généralement un enrobé, autrement dit un béton bitumineux ; le revêtement peut aussi être du béton ou des pavés. Le document F 2 947 285 propose de réaliser des éclisses latérales pouvant comprendre, notamment, une portion supérieure sécable le long d'une ligne de rupture parcourant la face latérale, la bande s'étendant de part et d'autre de ladite ligne de rupture. Une fois le revêtement posé, la portion sécable est retirée, créant une gorge qui est remplie d'un joint coulé in-situ, de préférence un joint polyuréthane bi-composant. Cependant, la préparation de l'éclisse, la mise en œuvre et la fourniture d'un tel joint sont longues et coûteuses. En outre, ce joint est mis en place lorsque la totalité des travaux de voie et de chaussé sont terminés ; Ainsi, l'éclisse peut être soumise plusieurs mois et quelquefois plusieurs années à des intempéries et à du trafic routier, avant la mise en place du joint. As particularly illustrated by the document FR 2 885 372, the rail is preferably provided isolated from the substrate by a system of splints. The splints provide sound insulation, electrical insulation and sealing around the rail vis-à-vis its environment. However, it must be ensured that moisture does not penetrate, or little, between a coating of this platform and the rail. The coating is generally asphalt, in other words an asphalt concrete; the coating may also be concrete or pavers. The document F 2 947 285 proposes to produce lateral splints which may comprise, in particular, a top portion breakable along a break line running through the lateral face, the strip extending on either side of said break line. . Once the coating is laid, the breakable portion is removed, creating a groove that is filled with an in-situ cast seal, preferably a two-component polyurethane seal. However, the preparation of the splice, the implementation and the supply of such a joint are long and expensive. In addition, this seal is put in place when all trackwork and pavement work are completed; Thus, the splint can be subjected several months and sometimes several years to bad weather and traffic, before the establishment of the joint.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un système rapide et économique pour réaliser une étanchéité entre le rail et le revêtement de la plate-forme. The invention aims to provide a fast and economical system for sealing between the rail and the deck of the platform.
Selon un premier objet de l'invention, un système pour poser une bande de protection sur une surface supérieure d'une éclisse équipant un premier rail prévu pour être enterré est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend : According to a first object of the invention, a system for placing a protective strip on an upper surface of a splint equipping a first rail intended to be buried is characterized in that it comprises:

- la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du système de la figure 1. - Figure 3 is a top view of the system of Figure 1.
Dans la description qui va suivre et aux figures jointes, arbitrairement et par mesure de simplification, le rail est supposé posé horizontalement. Les termes "horizontal" et "vertical" se réfèrent à une telle position. Cela n'exclut pas que le rail puisse être posé avec un dévers ou avec une pente non nuls, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. In the following description and the attached figures, arbitrarily and as a simplification measure, the rail is assumed to be laid horizontally. The terms "horizontal" and "vertical" refer to such a position. This does not exclude that the rail can be placed with a slope or with a non-zero slope, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Les figures représentent un système 1 selon l'invention dans une position d'usage, sur une voie de tramway. Les positions relatives de différents éléments constituant le système 1 seront données relativement à cette voie, dans cette position d'usage. The figures represent a system 1 according to the invention in a position of use, on a tramway track. The relative positions of different elements constituting the system 1 will be given relative to this way, in this position of use.
La figure 1 représente, en perspective et de façon schématisée, le système 1 selon l'invention. Le système 1 est représenté posé sur une voie de tramway en cours de construction. Il est prévu pour se déplacer selon une direction F, représentée par une flèche aux figures. Figure 1 shows, in perspective and schematically, the system 1 according to the invention. The system 1 is shown placed on a streetcar track under construction. It is intended to move in a direction F, represented by an arrow in the figures.
La voie est prévue pour être enterrée dans une plateforme de sorte que les rails sont sensiblement affleurant avec la plateforme finie. Aux figures, seule une couche de base 2 de la plateforme a été réalisée. Outre la plateforme 2, la voie comprend deux rails 3, 4 en forme de Y. The track is intended to be buried in a platform so that the rails are substantially flush with the finished platform. In the figures, only a base layer 2 of the platform has been made. In addition to the platform 2, the track comprises two Y-shaped rails 3, 4.
Comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 2, chaque rail est protégé par une éclisse inférieure 5 et deux éclisses latérales 6, 7. Les éclisses sont en mousse plastique, de préférence une mousse polyéthylène. Les éclisses sont prévues pour absorber des vibrations dues au roulement des tramways sur le rail 1 et éviter leur transmission à l'environnement proche, notamment aux immeubles voisins. En outre, elles doivent permettre d'assurer une étanchéité à l'eau entre le rail de façon à ce que le rail soit protégé de courants vagabonds. L'éclisse inférieure 5 est conçue pour envelopper la semelle du rail et pour reposer sur la base 2 de la plateforme. Une première éclisse latérale 6 est conçue pour venir s'emboîter sur l'éclisse inférieure 5 et épouser le rail du côté de sa portion de roulement 8. La deuxième éclisse latérale 7 est conçue pour venir s'emboîter sur l'éclisse inférieure 5 et épouser le rail du côté de sa portion de guidage 9. Les éclisses latérales sont prévues pour être montées sensiblement affleurantes avec la plateforme finie et le rail. As particularly illustrated in Figure 2, each rail is protected by a lower splice 5 and two side splints 6, 7. The splints are made of plastic foam, preferably a polyethylene foam. The splints are planned to absorb vibration due to the rolling of the trams on the rail 1 and prevent their transmission to the nearby environment, including neighboring buildings. In addition, they must make it possible to ensure a watertightness between the rail so that the rail is protected from stray currents. The lower splint 5 is designed to wrap the sole of the rail and to rest on the base 2 of the platform. A first lateral splint 6 is designed to fit on the lower splice 5 and to fit the rail on the side of its rolling portion 8. The second lateral splint 7 is designed to fit on the lower splice 5 and fit the rail side of its guide portion 9. The side splints are intended to be mounted substantially flush with the finished platform and the rail.
Chaque éclisse latérale 6, 7 comprend une face supérieure 11. Le système selon l'invention est prévu pour déposer une bande de protection 12 sur la face supérieure 11 de chacune des éclisses latérales 6, 7. La bande de protection 12 est prévue pour protéger l'éclisse correspondante des agressions dues : Each side splice 6, 7 comprises an upper face 11. The system according to the invention is provided to deposit a protective strip 12 on the upper face 11 of each of the side splints 6, 7. The protective strip 12 is provided to protect the corresponding splint of the attacks due:
- au roulement de véhicules, tels des automobiles circulant sur une voie croisant les rails ;  - the rolling of vehicles, such as cars traveling on a track crossing the rails;
- aux intempéries, notamment la pluie ou les rayons UV.  - weather, including rain or UV rays.
Dans l'exemple illustré, la bande de protection 12 comprend une feuille en polytéréphtalate d'éthylène (PET) et les éclisses latérales comprennent une matrice en une mousse de polyéthyiène choisies pour être aisément soudables entre elles. In the example illustrated, the protective strip 12 comprises a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the side splints comprise a matrix of a polyethylene foam chosen to be easily welded together.

Il peut aussi prendre une position rétractée, qui permet de rapprocher la roue stabilisatrice 18 des longerons 23 ; ainsi, l'encombrement transversal du système 1 peut être réduit lorsque le système 1 n'est pas utilisé, notamment lors de son transport d'un chantier à l'autre ou lors de son remisage. Une goupille permet de verrouiller le bras dans sa position déployée ou dans sa position rétractée, selon le besoin. Le groupe moteur 19, fixé à l'avant, entraîne la roue motrice 16. Le groupe moteur est un moteur électrique muni d'un variateur de vitesse. Le groupe électrogène 21 est fixé à la fois sur la traverse arrière 24 et la traverse intermédiaire 26. Il alimente le groupe moteur 19. In the illustrated example, the driving wheel 16 and the guide wheel 17 are both in contact and on a first rail 3; the stabilizing wheel rests on the second rail 4, to the left of the first rail 3 in the advancement direction F of the system 1. The telescopic arm can assume an extended use position, illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3. It can also take a retracted position, which allows to bring the stabilizing wheel 18 of the longitudinal members 23; thus, the transverse size of the system 1 can be reduced when the system 1 is not used, especially during its transport from one site to another or during storage. A pin locks the arm in its extended or retracted position, as needed. The motor unit 19, fixed at the front, drives the driving wheel 16. The power unit is an electric motor equipped with a variable speed drive. The generator set 21 is fastened to both the rear crossmember 24 and the intermediate cross member 26. It supplies the power unit 19.
Le système 1 comprend en outre un équipage 30 pour poser la bande 12. L'équipage 30 est porté par la traverse arrière 24 et la traverse intermédiaire 26. Il comprend : The system 1 further comprises a crew 30 for laying the band 12. The crew 30 is carried by the rear crossmember 24 and the intermediate crossmember 26. It comprises:
- un dévidoir 31 qui comprend un moyeu 32 portant deux flasques 33 ; - A reel 31 which comprises a hub 32 carrying two flanges 33;
- un rouleau presseur 34 ; a pressure roller 34;
- un galet tendeur 35 ; et,  a tensioning roller 35; and,
- des moyens 36 pour souder la bande 12.  means 36 for welding the strip 12.
Dans l'exemple illustré, l'équipage 30 est positionné pour poser la bande 12 sur la surface supérieure 11 de la première éclisse 6 du premier rail 3. L'équipage 30 est mobile transversalement, selon M, relativement aux longerons 23, de sorte qu'il peut être positionné pour pouvoir poser une bande sur la deuxième éclisse 7 du même premier rail 3, sans avoir besoin de dérailler le système 1. In the illustrated example, the crew 30 is positioned to place the strip 12 on the upper surface 11 of the first splint 6 of the first rail 3. The crew 30 is transversely movable, along M, relative to the side members 23, so it can be positioned to be able to lay a strip on the second splint 7 of the same first rail 3, without the need to derail the system 1.
Un des flasques 33 est amovible de sorte que la bande 12 peut être stockée sur le moyeu 32, sous forme d'un rouleau. Lors de la pose, la bande, qui se déroule depuis le dévidoir, passe entre le rouleau presseur 34 et la surface 11 de Γ éclisse. Sur son trajet entre le dévidoir 31 et le rouleau presseur, la bande est maintenue tendue par le galet tendeur 35. One of the flanges 33 is removable so that the strip 12 can be stored on the hub 32 in the form of a roller. When laying, the strip, which runs from the reel, passes between the pressure roller 34 and the surface 11 of Γ splint. On its path between the reel 31 and the pressure roller, the strip is held taut by the tensioner roller 35.
Dans l'exemple illustré, les moyens de soudage 36 sont un générateur d'air chaud. Comme particulièrement illustré à la figure 2, l'air chaud généré est soufflé par une buse 37, entre la bande 12 et la surface 1 1, à l'avant immédiat du rouleau presseur 34, à l'endroit où la bande vient se poser sur la surface 11. La bande et la surface sont portées à une température suffisante pour que, pressées l'une contre l'autre par le rouleau, elles se soudent l'une à l'autre. La position du générateur d'air chaud est ajustable pour obtenir un positionnement précis de la buse ; la température de l'air soufflé est réglable, pour optimiser le soudage. In the illustrated example, the welding means 36 are a hot air generator. As particularly illustrated in FIG. 2, the hot air generated is blown by a nozzle 37, between the strip 12 and the surface 1 1, at the immediate front of the pressure roller 34, at the point where the strip comes to rest on the surface 11. The strip and the surface are brought to a sufficient temperature so that, pressed against one another by the roller, they are welded together. one to another. The position of the hot air generator is adjustable to obtain precise positioning of the nozzle; the temperature of the supply air is adjustable, to optimize the welding.
Dans l'exemple illustré, les longerons et les traverses sont en aluminium. La vitesse d'avancement du système de pose 1 est ajustable de quelques centimètres par minute à quelques mètres par minute. In the example illustrated, the longitudinal members and the cross members are made of aluminum. The speed of advance of the laying system 1 is adjustable from a few centimeters per minute to a few meters per minute.
Le système 1 est conçu pour pouvoir poser des bandes d'au moins deux largeurs différentes. De façon typique, la largeur de la surface supérieure 11 est de 50 millimètres sur la première éclisse 6, côté roulement, et, de 20 millimètre sur la deuxième éclisse 7. The system 1 is designed to be able to lay strips of at least two different widths. Typically, the width of the upper surface 11 is 50 millimeters on the first splice 6, rolling side, and 20 millimeters on the second splice 7.
Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation préférés qui viennent d'être décrits mais, au contraire, l'invention est définie par les revendications qui suivent. Of course, the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments which have just been described but, on the contrary, the invention is defined by the following claims.
Il apparaîtra en effet à l'homme de l'art que diverses modifications peuvent être apportées aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, à la lumière de l'enseignement qui vient de lui être divulgué. Ainsi, d'autres matériaux peuvent être choisis pour les éclisses et la bande, pourvu qu'ils soient compatibles et assurent l'étanchéité recherchée. Ainsi, les éclisses peuvent être en bois ou en caoutchouc. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiments described above, in the light of the teaching that has just been disclosed. Thus, other materials may be chosen for the ribs and the band, provided they are compatible and provide the desired seal. Thus, the splints can be wood or rubber.
De plus, au lieu d'être soudée à l'air chaud, la bande peut être collée. Dans ce but, la bande peut comprendre une couche d'adhésif protégée par une pellicule amovible ; le système selon l'invention peut alors comprendre des moyens de retrait de cette pellicule. In addition, instead of being welded to hot air, the tape can be glued. For this purpose, the strip may comprise a layer of adhesive protected by a film removable ; the system according to the invention may then comprise means for removing this film.
Âu lieu d'être monté à l'extrémité distale d'un bras télescopique, la roue stabilisatrice peut être montée à l'extrémité distale d'un bras rotatif, de façon être pouvoir être escamotée en rabattant le bras rotatif parallèlement aux longerons. Instead of being mounted at the distal end of a telescopic arm, the stabilizing wheel can be mounted at the distal end of a rotating arm so that it can be retracted by folding the rotating arm parallel to the side members.
Le groupe électrogène peut aussi être remplacé par d'autres moyens générateurs d'énergie, par exemple, des batteries et/ou une alimentation basse tension par les rails. The generator can also be replaced by other energy generating means, for example, batteries and / or a low voltage supply by the rails.
Un procédé de pose d'une protection selon l'invention est particulièrement avantageux, puisqu'il permet de réaliser une étanchéité et une protection dès que réclisse est posée, sans attendre la fin du chantier de réalisation de la voie ferrée. Ainsi, l'éclisse, portant sa propre protection, est protégée tout au long de ce chantier, notamment de la circulation des engins de chantier. A method of laying a protection according to the invention is particularly advantageous, since it allows to achieve a seal and protection as soon as reclisse is posed, without waiting for the completion of the construction site of the railway. Thus, the splint, bearing its own protection, is protected throughout this site, including the movement of construction equipment.
