Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch device, in particular a grooved rail switch device, with a switch rail, the switch device comprising at least one stock rail, a connecting rail and a switch rail support, and the switch rail and the connecting rail being connected to one another via a welded joint.
  • the invention also relates to a method for replacing a switch rail in a switch device, in particular a grooved rail switch device, comprising at least one stock rail, a connecting rail and a switch rail support, the switch rail and the connecting rail being connected to one another by welding to form a welded joint.
  • the DE 195 07 376 C2 a tongue device can be seen in which the tongue rail merges into the connection rail in the diagonal joint.
  • the rails are connected to one another via mechanical holding elements.
  • the tongue bar and connection bar can also be connected to one another by means of welding, such as the DE 685 445 A or the DE 1 048 938 B can be seen.
  • the advantage of the mechanical connection is that a switch rail can be easily replaced.
  • complex work is required for welded joints, especially when the switch device comprising the stock rail, the connecting rail and the tongue rail support is produced in a monoblock design, e.g. is milled out of a solid block.
  • mechanical connections between the tongue rail and the connecting rail have prevailed with priority in the case of tongue devices in a monoblock design.
  • the DE 853 759 C and the EP 0 515 708 A1 relate to tongue devices with a sliding plate for a tongue rail, each having a closed sliding surface.
  • a grooved rail switch device according to DE 20 2016 002 305 U1 has a base plate with openings in order to be able to weld a stock rail arranged on the base plate to it.
  • the present invention is based on the object of further developing a switch device and a method for replacing a switch rail in a switch device in such a way that a switch rail can also be easily replaced in the case of a welded connection.
  • a switch device of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the switch rail support delimits a cavity on the underside and has a through-opening merging into the cavity below the weld joint, or that the switch rail support has a recess below the weld joint, the width of the through-opening or The recess is greater than the width of the tongue rail below the weld joint and the through opening or the recess has a length that allows a separating cut between the connecting bar and the tongue bar through the weld joint or adjacent to the weld joint in the connecting bar and connecting the connecting bar to tongue bars of the same or different lengths.
  • a method for replacing a tongue rail is characterized in that a switch device is used in which the tongue rail support delimits a cavity on the underside and in the area of the weld joint has a through opening that merges into the cavity, or that a recess is formed in the tongue rail support below the weld joint, where width of The through opening or the recess is greater than the width of the tongue rail below the weld joint and the through opening or the recess has a length that allows separating cuts between the connection bar and tongue rails with the same or different lengths, with a separating cut through the weld joint to replace a tongue rail or a severing cut is carried out adjacent to the weld joint in the connecting bar, and then the connecting bar is connected to a new tongue bar, wherein during the course of the severing cut the new tongue bar to be connected to the connecting bar is spaced apart from the previous weld joint by the distance compared to the replaced tongue bar from the previous welding joint and the separating cut is longer.
  • a tongue device consisting of a stock rail, connecting rail and tongue rail support, which can also be referred to as a sliding plate, can be used in a monobloc design without problems arising when the tongue rail is connected to the connecting rail by means of welding; because due to the recess or passage opening in the tongue rail support or sliding plate, there is the possibility of multiple welding of a connecting rail or a section of such a connection rail as part of the monoblock with tongue rails, i.e. that a tongue rail can be exchanged several times. It is thus possible to remove a tongue bar that is to be replaced by cutting and then to connect a new tongue bar to the connection bar by welding.
  • the tongue device itself is not damaged, since according to the invention the recess in the support or the through-opening is present, which enables the separating cut and also the re-welding.
  • the recess or the through opening should be dimensioned in relation to the tongue rail or connecting rail in such a way that welding fuses can be positioned below the tongue rail or connecting rail without any problems in order to weld root passes and then form an I or V seam, for example.
  • the separating cut can be made in the weld joint.
  • cutting takes place at a distance from the weld joint in the connection bar or the section integrated in the monoblock.
  • the new tongue rail that is then to be welded to the connection rail is longer than the replaced rail by the distance between the previous weld joint and the interface. Trimming can be done on site.
  • the length of the recess or through-opening is 50 mm to 150 mm, in particular 80 mm to 120 mm, and/or the recess or through-opening extends on each side of the tongue or connecting rail over a width of between 10 mm and 50 mm, in particular between 20 mm and 30 mm. Due to dimensioning in this regard, e.g. 5 to 6 cuts, i.e. an exchange of 5 to 6 tongue rails, can be carried out without having to accept losses in terms of the functionality of the tongue device.
  • the depth should be designed in such a way that a welding fuse can be introduced into the recess without any problems.
  • the tongue device is designed in a monoblock design, it is easily possible that other types of design, such as can be found in the prior art, can also be used.
  • the switch device from a lower part and an upper part, with the upper part of a grooved rail switch device comprising stock rail, connecting rail, auxiliary rail and switch rail support and the lower part being an elevated structure.
  • the switch mechanism consists of an upper part made of high-strength steel and a lower part made of mild steel or other lower grade steel.
  • Forming the tongue device in one piece from high-strength steel is also covered by the invention.
  • the invention is also characterized in that the tongue device is designed in monobloc construction, and is in particular arranged on a base plate, runs to the spaced underside of the tongue rail support, or that the Switch device has a lower part in block construction, on which an upper part having the tongue rail support is arranged.
  • the switch device is preferably arranged on a base plate, to which the underside of the switch rail support runs at a distance.
  • a heater for example, can be arranged in the cavity formed in this way.
  • the base plate can have a drainage opening which, in the projection in the direction of the vertical axis of the tongue device, preferably overlaps the through-opening at least in sections, or that a drainage opening such as a channel or bore emanates from the recess. This results in the advantage, in particular, that water that gets through the through-opening can flow off without any problems.
  • the method according to the invention is also characterized in that the switch device is designed in a monoblock design with a block-like lower part and an upper part having a switch rail support, the recess running below the weld joint should have a depth that allows insertion of a weld pool fuse.
  • a weld pool backing is introduced into the through opening or the cutout for the purpose of welding.
  • the invention is characterized in that the stock rail, an auxiliary rail, the connection rail and the tongue rail support of the switch device are designed as a monoblock.
  • the tongue device consists of an upper part and a lower part made of the same or different materials.
  • a switch device 10 in a monoblock design can be seen, without the teaching according to the invention thereby being restricted. Rather, the switch device 10, which accommodates a tongue rail 12, also consist of several individual parts. However, a monoblock construction is preferably provided.
  • the switch device 10 which is also explained by way of example using a grooved rail switch device, comprises, in a known manner, a stock rail 14, an auxiliary rail 30 and a sliding plate 16, which can also be referred to as a switch rail support.
  • a stock rail 14 On the slide plate 16, the tongue rail 12 is arranged adjustably in a known manner.
  • the stock rail 14 with the sliding plate 16 are sections of the switch device 10, which, as mentioned, is designed as a monoblock in the drawing.
  • the switch device 10 is arranged on a base plate 18 which, depending on the overall height of the standard rails or grooved rail profiles such as R59/60 adjoining the switch device, has appropriately adapted thicknesses without requiring a change in the height of the switch device 10 itself.
  • the slide plate 16 runs spaced from the surface of the base plate 18, as the sectional view of 3 can be seen.
  • a heater for example, can be arranged in the cavity 20 formed in this way.
  • the cavity 20 also serves as a drain which merges into a drain plug 24 via an opening 22 in the base plate.
  • the sliding plate 16 runs between the stock rail and the side rail 30 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the point device 10 and is part of the monobloc.
  • the tongue device comprises a connection bar 32 which is connected to the tongue bar 12 by welding.
  • the corresponding weld joint is marked with reference number 34 .
  • This is in the exemplary embodiment 3 above a through-opening 36, which is preferably located directly above the drain plug 24, i.e. the projection of the through-opening 36 in the vertical axis direction of the tongue device overlaps the drain plug 24, as in particular also the illustration in FIG 2 clarified.
  • a separating cut is made directly in the abutting surface or at a distance from it, as illustrated by the lines 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • a plate-shaped weld pool backing like a sheet metal is positioned below the connecting rail 32 and the tongue rail 12 in the joint area in order to then easily weld root passes and subsequently form I or V seams, for example.
  • the new tongue rail to be used is longer in comparison to the one to be exchanged by the amount that corresponds to the distance between the weld joint 34 of the tongue rail to be exchanged and the separating cut. If this takes place directly in the weld joint 34, then the new tongue rail has the same length as the replaced tongue rail.
  • the free space created by the through opening 36 consequently enables problem-free e.g. Other methods of dicing are also contemplated.
  • the weld pool safety device 40 is introduced into the passage opening below the rail feet, which can consist of sheet metal and has a width which should at least correspond to the tongue width.
  • the sectional view according to 4 takes place in a switch device 100, which has been manufactured in a monoblock design, which, however, is not in one piece, but consists of an upper part 102 and a lower part 104.
  • the upper part 102 consists of high-strength steel, whereas the lower part can consist of mild steel, for example.
  • a drainage hole 28 can start from the lowest point of the groove 26 of the stock rail 14 and can merge into the connecting piece 24 without this being a mandatory feature.
  • the tongue device 100 is arranged on a base plate 18 of the desired thickness, as is the case in connection with FIG 3 has been explained.
  • the invention relates to a switch device with a switch rail 12, the switch device comprising at least one stock rail 14, a connecting rail 32 and a switch rail support 16 and the tongue bar and the connection bar are connected to one another via a welded joint 34 .
  • the tongue rail support 16 has a through opening 36 or recess 116 below the weld joint, the width of the through opening 36 or the recess 116 being greater than the width of the tongue rail 12 .
  • the through opening 36 or the cutout 116 also has a length that enables the connection bar 32 to be connected to tongue bars of the same or different lengths.
