Definitions

  • the invention relates to a grooved rail tongue device in monobloc construction with tongue rail, wherein the tongue device is manufactured in monoblock construction and comprises at least one stock rail, a connecting rail and a tongue rail support, and wherein the tongue rail are mechanically connected to the connecting rail.
  • stock rail, connecting rail, Beischiene includes feature a Beischienen-, connecting rail and cheek rail section.
  • Tongue devices in monoblock design have proven to be widely used.
  • Corresponding tongue devices are for. B. DE 101 24 624 C2 or DE 40 1 1 523 AI refer.
  • the tongue devices may consist of a single material or of an upper made of high-strength steel part and a lower z. B. be made of structural steel existing part.
  • the upper part has the tongue bed. in which the tongue rail is arranged adjustable.
  • the tongue bed thus comprises the stock rail, which also serves as a slide plate to be designated tongue rail support and at least one Beischiene.
  • a component of the tongue device is a portion of a connecting or control rail, with which the tongue rail is connected within the tongue device.
  • tongue and connecting rail can be mechanically connected to each other via a KJemm arthritis, a so-called tongue adapter non-positively (DE 101 14 683 A I).
  • Monoblock constructions are also known in which the block extends over the length of the tongue bed and at least over one side of it (see DE 10 2010 037 1 10 AI).
  • the present invention has the object, a tongue device of the type mentioned in such a way that a high ride comfort when driving through the tongue device is given. Also, a wear on the wheel overflow area between tongue and connecting rail compared to the start should be reduced.
  • the invention essentially provides that the tongue rail and the connecting rail merge into one another via an impact S-shaped in horizontal section.
  • an S-shaped joint is used for connecting the connecting rail and the tongue rail in a monoblock construction, which facilitates or improves the connection between the rail sections. Due to the course of the shock is improved when driving through this the ride comfort. There is a low-wear wheel overflow available whose stability is due in particular to the obtuse S-shape or the absence of material peaks in comparison to oblique impacts. At the same time, the S joint ensures that a two-piece wheel tread is available over the length of the rail groove longitudinal portion of the S joint, which effectively prevents edge breakage or other damage.
  • the advantages of monoblock grooved splinting devices remain with regard to the possibility of selecting desired tongue and track bar materials while maintaining the possibility of easy replacement of the tongue track due to the mechanical connection, ie, clamping by clamping in a so-called tongue adapter.
  • the tongue rail is fixed in particular by wedge elements, as z. B. DE 42 44 010 AI or EP 0 603 883 AI can be seen. the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference.
  • it is known to form at Vignol rails an S-bump between tongue rail and connecting rail, as DE 44 10 200 Cl can be seen.
  • the tongue rail is connected to the terminal rail by welding, so that there are limitations in the selection of the rail materials. An exchange of the train rail is time-consuming and therefore expensive.
  • an S-shaped contact surface is machined out, as is milled out, against which a geometrically corresponding counter-surface of the tongue rail abuts to form the S-shaped joint.
  • the invention is characterized in that the S-shaped joint consists of a longitudinal leg extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rail and transverse limbs which have an arcuate course.
  • the invention proposes that the tongue rail is connected via at least one wedge element, such as wedge clamp, frictionally connected to the connecting rail.
  • a T-slot for receiving one or more nuts of one or more screws extend over which the wedge element for non-positive connection of the tongue rail with the connecting rail can be tightened.
  • the monobloc should at least in its the baking rail, the connecting rail, the Beischiene and the tongue rail support comprehensive range of high-strength steel such as bainite.
  • Manganese-hard steel, tempered rail steel (R350HT) quenched fine grain structural steel. eg Dilidur. Hardox, XAR in grades 400-500. consist.
  • the invention further provides that the tongue rail is secured by a wander protection against a movement in the longitudinal direction, which extends in sections in both the tongue support and in the tongue rail.
  • FIG. 2 a top view of the tongue device according to FIG. 1 with tongue rail
  • Fig. 6 is a section along the line C - C in Fig. 2
  • Fig. 7 is a view in perspective
  • FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of the tongues according to the invention in FIG.
  • a tongue device 10 is shown with tongue rail 12.
  • the tongue device 10 is made in a monobloc fashion, i. one piece. In one piece, however, includes the possibility that the lower part of the tongue device 10 is made of a different material than the upper part, in particular made of high-strength steel. Regardless, it is a monobloc construction. since the areas exposed to heavy wear are integrally formed and in particular made of high-strength steel. Milling out of a block to make the monobloc is possible.
  • the tongue device 10 has a stock rail 14, a Beischiene 16, a portion of a connecting rail 18 and a tongue rail support to be designated sliding plate 23 on which the tongue rail 12 is arranged adjustable.
  • a stock rail 14 a Beischiene 16
  • a portion of a connecting rail 18 a tongue rail support to be designated sliding plate 23 on which the tongue rail 12 is arranged adjustable.
  • the tongue rail 12 is mechanically connected in its root region with the connecting rail 18, via an S-joint 20, as the plan view in Fig. 2 illustrates.
  • an area is milled out of the monoblock, namely from the connecting rail section 18 at the end, in order to provide an S-shaped contact surface 19 in horizontal section, against which a geometrically adapted abutment surface 21 of the tongue rail root rests flatly (FIG. 4).
  • this is illustrated by an S-shaped extending line 22.
  • the abutment surfaces run in the direction of the vertical axis of the monoblock.
  • the tongue rail 12 is non-positively connected to the connecting rail 18, according to the Thomasdarstel 1 ments in Fig.
  • wedge clamping elements 24 are provided which are tightened by screws 26, 28 toward the bottom of the tongue device 10 to the desired clamping effect and thus the establish frictional connection. To tighten the screws they grip with their threads in nuts 30. 32, which extend in T-shaped grooves extending in the bottom region of the tongue device 10. The corresponding groove is indicated in FIGS. 5 and 6 by the reference numeral 34.
  • a hiking protection 38 may be provided, which engages both in the sliding plate 20 and in the facing bottom 40 of the tongue rail 12.
  • corresponding recesses 42, 44 in the slide plate 20 and in the bottom 40 of the tongue rail 12 are provided.
  • the hiking protection 38 runs in the immediate vicinity of the joint 20, that is to say in an area in which the tongue rail 12 is not bent or substantially not bent.
  • FIG. 8 again shows in an enlarged representation the Ril lenschienenzitch- direction in block construction with removed, but shown in a rotated by 90 degrees about its longitudinal axis shown tongue rail 12.
  • S-shaped contact surface 19 for the S-joint. which is worked out in the connecting rail section 18, the section 5 - 1 extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting rail being 5 times longer than the respective transverse leg emanating from the longitudinal legs, which runs arcuately, as the drawing illustrates.
  • the recess 42 in the sliding plate 23 can be seen, in which the migrant protection 38 is used, which extends in sections in the sliding plate 23 and the tongue rail 12.
