Definitions
- TITLE LINK FOR AN EXCAVATION CHAIN AND EXCAVATION CHAIN
- the invention relates, in general, to the technical field of clearing or excavation chains.
- the invention relates more specifically to a link for an excavation chain intended to travel on a traffic path having a rectilinear excavation portion for a ballast clearing device below a railway track, and to an excavation chain comprising such links.
- ballasts located under the sleepers of a railway track, and for sorting it for possible reuse by dumping it on the track.
- These machines are commonly called “stripping machines”.
- work trains generally further comprise a machine responsible for screening the ballast to keep, on the one hand, the healthy part of the ballast for its reuse, and on the other hand, to remove the worn part of the ballast in wagons provided for this purpose.
- the stripper-screening machine makes it possible to remove, sort the used ballast and replace the entire ballast layer with the sorted healthy ballast as well as a possible additional supply of new ballast.
- Such work trains are equipped with excavation chains consisting of a succession of articulated links, at least part of which is equipped with shovels intended to excavate the ballast.
- This chain is arranged in a movable or adjustable manner in height, on the chassis of the rail vehicle.
- the chain is endlessly moved by a driving mechanism.
- the chain path is configured so that it has a rectilinear excavation portion located under the railroad ties, the chain working on this excavation portion transversely with respect to the orientation of the rails of the railway, dragging and transporting the ballast with them.
- brackets On either side of this rectilinear excavation portion are arranged brackets forming return members for the excavation chain.
- brackets are located at the ends of the rectilinear excavation portion, the portion along which the ballast is withdrawn, and are generally formed of a fixed bent wall on which the chain links slide successively.
- the chain circulates along a longitudinal arrival path then circulates on the rectilinear excavation portion after having passed through a first bent portion formed by one of the brackets.
- the chain which continues on its way then leaves said rectilinear excavation portion to circulate on the longitudinal outlet portion after having passed through a second bent portion formed by the other of the brackets.
- the shovels arrive on this rectilinear excavation portion while being unloaded and come out loaded with ballast towards the longitudinal exit portion.
- the longitudinal inlet and outlet portions are connected, in an area located high above the rail vehicle, by a transverse discharge portion where the ballast is discharged onto conveyor belts.
- the shovels unloaded from the ballast then continue their way towards the arrival longitudinal portion, then repeating these operations.
- the wear of the links is also localized at the level of the return members. Indeed, the shocks undergone in these bent zones, taking into account the forces involved, often lead to premature wear at the level of the brackets, and more generally at the level of the return members arranged along the path traveled by the chain. The wear is also localized on the inner side of the links, opposite to the outer side from which the shovel protrudes.
- the invention aims to remedy all or part of the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing in particular an excavation chain allowing a reduction in the wear of its links, and also allowing a reduction in wear. suffered by the referral bodies.
- a link for an excavation chain intended to travel on a traffic path having an excavation portion for a ballast clearing device below of a railway track
- the link comprising a body extending longitudinally between a front end and a rear end and is traversed by at least one front through hole and one rear through hole configured to receive articulation means with an adjacent link of the chain, the front and rear through-holes extending along axes parallel to each other and contained in a reference plane of the body, the link being characterized in that the body has an inner side of the body relative to the plane reference, opposite to the outer side, a concave guide surface extending over an envelope having an axis generatrix parallel to the axes of the link, the guide surface being config urea to match at least locally a curvature of a return member of the clearing device.
- the link can circulate on a return member such as brackets on either side of a rectilinear excavation portion while locally following its curvature.
- wear on the inner side of the link such as wear on the return member, is reduced.
- the link is stabilized by a surface contact between the guide surface of the body of the link on the one hand, and the driving surface of the return member on the other hand which locally has a substantially complementary shape.
- Such a surface contact in fact makes it possible to avoid a gyration movement of the link around itself during the passage of the drive member as occurs when a vertical linear linear contact takes place between the link and the link. referral body.
- Such stabilization aims to improve the efficiency of ballast transport by the excavator.
- Such a configuration also makes it possible to reduce the noise produced by the clearing device.
- the guide surface extends along a directing curve having at least locally the shape of an arc of an ellipse, and preferably of an arc of a circle. Such a configuration provides a progressive continuous curvature for the passage of the return member.
- the distance separating two front and rear longitudinal ends of the guide surface is greater than the distance separating the front and rear through holes, or even greater than the center distance between the front and rear through holes.
- the guide surface extends between its two front and rear longitudinal ends, the front ends and rear being each located substantially to the right of the front and rear through-hole, respectively.

- the body of the link comprises, on its inner side, preferably to the right of each of the front and rear through holes, a convex surface extending between the concave guide surface and the associated end front or rear of the link body.
- a convex surface extending between the concave guide surface and the associated end front or rear of the link body.
- the front and rear ends of the body each have a curved convex portion, preferably in an arc of a circle so as to be free of stops.
- This configuration ensures effective and durable protection of the chain link joints against abrasion wear by ballast stones with sharp or sharp edges and against the action of dust, thus giving the links a longer service life. chain.
- This curved portion preferably extends over an envelope having a generatrix parallel to the axis of the associated through hole.
- the link comprises a projecting part extending from an outer side of the body relative to the reference plane.
- the protruding part comprises for example a shovel for transporting ballast.
- the shovel has a stop surface configured to receive a counter-stop of an adjacent rear link of the chain so as to limit relative rotation between the chain link and the adjacent rear link around of the axis of the rear through-hole.
- a counter-stop is particularly effective on the rectilinear excavation portion along which the shovels work and undergo a force exerted by the ballast generating a moment on the shovel tending to cause the shovel to pivot rearwardly, and therefore the body of the link.
- the counter-stop makes it possible to limit the effect of this moment of forces applied to the shovel so that the associated link continues its path in a rectilinear fashion.
- the link comprises fingers carried by the shovel and projecting outwardly from the outer side of the reference plane in the extension of the shovel. These fingers are preferably each oriented along an axis inclined relative to the reference plane, with an inclination preferably between 65 and 80 °, preferably between 70 and 75 °. This allows for the use of shorter fingers to make the excavator lighter without losing performance or losing rigidity.
- the fingers are all located above a plane perpendicular to the parallel axes of the front and rear through holes and tangent to a lower end of said shovel. This increases the life of the fingers.
- the projecting part comprises a counter-stop configured to come into abutment against a stop surface of a shovel of an adjacent front link so as to limit a relative rotation between the link and the link. adjacent front around the axis of the front through-hole.
- the body is in one piece, that is to say in one piece, preferably obtained by casting, with or without machining of the front and rear through holes and / or of the surface of guidance.
- the invention also relates to a finger for a shovel of a link of an excavation chain intended to travel on a traffic path having a excavation portion for a ballast clearing device below a railway track, the finger comprising a plurality of grooves configured to receive a locking member for ensuring adjustment of the finger in translation relative to the shovel. The position of the locking member in one of the grooves thus determines the axial position of the finger with respect to the shovel.
- Such fingers can be fitted to shovels as described above but also any other shovel of the prior art whose fingers are fixed by such locking members, this regardless of the characteristics of the body of the link.
- an excavation chain having an excavation portion for a ballast clearing device below a railway track, the excavation chain being characterized in that it comprises a succession of chain links comprising all or part of the aforementioned characteristics to form an endless chain.
- the chain links comprise links of the type comprising a projecting part, preferably links of the type comprising a shovel and links of the type comprising a counter-stop, and links of the type without part protruding.
- the excavation chain comprises a succession of a plurality of chain links forming the same pattern which is repeated successively placed end to end successively along the chain, such a pattern comprising from front to back in the direction of movement of the chain: a link of the type comprising a shovel, a link of the type comprising a counter-stop, a link of the type without protruding part, then a link of the type comprising a counter-stop.
- the invention also relates to a ballast clearing device comprising such an excavation chain, the excavation chain preferably being moved in an endless manner by a drive mechanism and being guided on its circulation path at least by angle transmission members, the body having on an inside side of the body with respect to the reference plane, opposite the outside side, a concave guide surface extending over an envelope having an axis generator parallel to the axes of the joints of the link, the guide surface following at least locally a curvature of at least one of the return members of the excavating device, preferably at least two return members arranged on either side of the excavation portion .

- the inner edge of the through hole 111, 121 is meant a longitudinal end portion of the through hole 111, 121 located towards the interior of the body 101 of the link 100.
- the link 100 also comprises, on the inner side 100B of its body 101, to the right of each of the axes A1, A2 of the front111 and rear121 through holes, a convex surface 153,154 extending between the concave guide surface 150 and the associated front 110 or rear 120 end of the body 101 of the link 100. This allows better passage of the return members 40 when they arrive on them.
- the combination of these convex surfaces 153, 154 bordering longitudinally on either side of the concave surface 150 is particularly reliable for limiting the wear of the bodies 101 of the links 100 and of the return members 40 while limiting the noise caused by the displacement of chain 8.
- these convex surfaces 153, 154 each extend over an envelope having a generatrix of axis parallel to that of the concave guide surface 150.
- the links 100 are therefore guided by the corresponding ducts, resting on the path by two support zones of the link 100 which are located on these convex surfaces 153, 154, namely to the exterior of the concave part delimited by the guide surface 150 and in longitudinal overlap of the front 111 and rear 121 through-holes.
- Such a location of these bearing surfaces formed by these convex surfaces 153, 154 also makes it possible to avoid a rearward tilting of the excavator 130 in the angle transmissions due to the changes of direction.
- the front 110 and rear 120 ends of the link 100 each have a curved convex portion 112, 122, for example in an arc of a circle, so as to be free of stops.
- Each curved portion 112, 122 preferably extends over an envelope having a generatrix parallel to the axis of the associated through hole.
- the guide surface 150 is preferably chamfered on its side edges 156.
- Each link 100 provided with a shovel 130 allowing the excavation and transport of ballast comprises fingers 132 carried by the shovel 130 and projecting outwardly from the outer side 100A of the reference plane P, in the extension of the shovel 130.
- these fingers 132 are three in number: a central finger, a lower finger and an upper finger.
- 132 fingers are made for example in high strength steel and one end 132a is disposed projecting in the extension of the shovel 130.
- Each finger 132 has a cylindrical body 132b configured to cooperate in a tubular receptacle 134 provided for this purpose and at least one radial groove 132c on its cylindrical body 132b.
- the groove 132c is dimensioned so as to receive a locking member 135 such as a screw penetrating substantially orthogonally with respect to the finger 132 in the tubular receptacle 134 and penetrating at least in part into the groove 132c.
- the locking member 135 is configured to block in translation the cylindrical body 132b relative to the tubular receptacle 134 of the shovel 130, the locking member 135 extending tangentially with respect to a bottom of the groove 132c.
- the fingers 132 make it possible to protect the shovel 130 from wear, in particular at its end and in the lower part of the shovel 130 where the wear is generally greater.
- the fingers 132 may include a plurality of grooves 132c to allow adjustment of the finger 132 in translation and thus cause it to translate in its tubular receptacle 134 to take predetermined positions as a function of its wear.
- the fingers 132 are removably fixed relative to the shovel 130, the removal of the locking means 135, for example by unscrewing it, allows the finger 132 concerned to be released and to be removed from its tubular receptacle 134 by the translating.
- the locking means 135 can also be secured by any suitable means such as a pin (not visible in the figures).
- the fingers 132 are each oriented along an axis inclined relative to the reference plane P, with an inclination a of between 65 and 80 °, preferably between 70 and 75 °.
- the fingers 132 are also oriented in a plane P132 inclined relative to a mean plane P130 of the shovel 130 extending substantially vertically (see Figure 4), the inclination a preferably being between 20 and 35 ° , and here equal to about 30 ° in this embodiment.
- the useful working surface of the shovel 130 is understood here as the surface swept by the shovel 130 during its movement.
- the fingers 132 are all located above a Pinf plane perpendicular to the parallel axes of the front 111 and rear 121 through holes and tangent to a lower end of said shovel 130, in particular in this embodiment, also in below a Psup plane tangent to an upper end of the excavator 130 (see Figure 9).
- the Pinf and Psup planes are generally horizontal. This lower end is sensitive in that it is extremely stressed in terms of abrasion wear against the ballast so that if the wear becomes too great, it can interfere with the proper attachment of the fingers 132 on the back of the machine. the shovel 130.
- the hardness of the lower surface of the shovel 130 is increased, for example by an addition by welding chromium / manganese and vanadium or by adding tungsten carbide plates.
- FIGs 10 and 11 illustrate an excavation line according to another embodiment.
- the excavation chain 8 is formed by a succession of links 100 articulated in pairs until the two ends of the chain 8 are connected end to end to form a closed chain 8. , of endless chain type.
- each link 100 comprises, on an inner side 100B of the body 8 of the link 100 with respect to the reference plane P, opposite to an outer side 100A, a guide surface 150 is configured to match at least locally a curvature C of a return member 40 of the clearing device 4.
- the excavation chain 8 is composed of a succession of links 100 among which the links are of three different types: the links 100 of the type comprising a shovel 130, the links 100 of the type comprising a counter-stop 140 and links 100 of the type without protruding part, that is to say formed essentially from their body 101.
- each of the links 100 of the type comprising a shovel 130 is disposed between two links 100 of the type comprising a counter-stop 140.
- each link 100 of the type without protruding part is also disposed between two Links of the type comprising a counter-stop 140. Every other link is therefore provided with a counter-stop 140, the other links being alternately a link of the type comprising a shovel 130 and a link of the type without protruding part.
- a pattern of the chain is therefore formed by a link 100 of the type without protruding part interposed between two links of the type comprising a counter-stop 140, and a link 100 of the type comprising a shovel 130 at a front end or back of this set of three links: these four links 100 together form, in this order, a pattern which is repeated successively along chain 8.
- Each link 100 comprising a shovel 130 comes directly in front of a link comprising a counter-stop 140 so, as already described, to limit a relative rotation of the link carrying the shovel 130.
- the links fixing interfaces between their bodies 101, at their front ends 110 and rear 120 are identical for a link 100 of the same type: the links comprising a shovel 130 and the so-called “intermediate” links without protruding part are so-called “female” links for their connection in the chain 8 and the links 100 comprising a counter-stop 140 are so-called “male” links for their connection in the chain 8.
- the female links have a body 101, the front 110 and rear 120 ends of which are each provided with two side plates or flanges of predetermined thickness between which is interposed a centered plate of a front end 110 or rear 120 of a body 101 of another adjacent link 100.
- the axis of the articulation means 160 is configured to be housed in the associated through-hole formed by the alignment of through-hole portions of each of these three plates of the two links nested one in the other so as to form a hinge.
- this link 100 has on an outer side 100A of the body 101 with respect to the reference plane P, opposite to the inner side 100B, a convex surface.
- Such a surface aims to increase the distance separating the surfaces of the inner 100B and outer 100A sides of the body 101, that is to say to increase the thickness of the body 101 of the links to make them more resistant.
- the guide surface 150 is itself always configured to match at least locally a curvature C of a return member4 of the excavation device4.
