Abstract

The system for replenishing railway engines with fluids consists of a supporting structure (G) for one or more overhead guide rails (F) with carriages (B, C) from which the fluid hoses (A) with end nozzles (D) or couplings are suspended. The carriages are of two types: plain carriages (B) with wheels, a supporting structure, anti-impact stops and hose supports; and braked carriages (C) with additional brake shoes and springs. The braked carriages, nozzles or couplings can have an anti-break connections to prevent damage to the hoses if an engine drives off too soon, and the hoses can be equipped with heaters.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif complet destiné à distribuer tout type de fluide sur des engins quelque soit leur position par rapport à la structure (G) Fig. No. 1. Elle est constituée d'un ou de plusieurs rail (F) Fig. NO 2 avec des supports (G) Fig. NO. 2, des chariots simples (B) Fig. No. 2 supportant un tuyau flexible (A) Fig. No. 2, d'un chariot frein (C) Fig. NO. 2 empêchant lors de la distribution un retour en arrière de l'ensemble flexible par son propre poids, d'un système anti-arrachement pour éviter l'arrachement du flexible (A) Fig. No. 2 lors d'un départ intempestif de l'engin. The present invention relates to a complete device intended for distributing any type of fluid on machines whatever their position relative to the structure (G) FIG. No. 1. It consists of one or more rails (F) Fig. NO 2 with supports (G) Fig. NO. 2, simple carriages (B) Fig. No. 2 supporting a flexible hose (A) Fig. No. 2, of a brake carriage (C) Fig. NO. 2 preventing, during distribution, a return of the flexible assembly by its own weight, of an anti-tearing system to prevent the tearing of the hose (A) FIG. No. 2 during an untimely departure of the machine.

Les rails (F) Fig. No. 2 sont composés d'éléments de différents profils et longueurs fixés sur une charpente ou des poteaux par crapauds, par boulonnage ou autre fixation. Pour chaque longueur de distribution (distance de distribution), des butées sont fixées sur les rails pour limiter la course des chariots (B) et (C) Fig. NO. The rails (F) Fig. No. 2 are composed of elements of different profiles and lengths fixed to a frame or posts by toads, by bolting or other fixing. For each distribution length (distribution distance), stops are fixed on the rails to limit the travel of the carriages (B) and (C) Fig. NO.

2. 2.

Les chariots simples Fig. No. 3 sont constitués d'une structure portante (1) Fig. NO. 3, d'un élément support flexible (3) Fig. NO. 3, de roues (2) Fig. NO. 3 et de butées anti-chocs (4) Fig. No. 3. The single trolleys Fig. No. 3 consist of a supporting structure (1) Fig. NO. 3, a flexible support element (3) FIG. NO. 3, wheels (2) Fig. NO. 3 and anti-shock stops (4) Fig. No. 3.

Les chariots Frein Fig. No. 4 sont constitués d'une structure portante (1) Fig. The brake trolleys Fig. No. 4 consist of a supporting structure (1) Fig.

NO. 4, d'un élément support flexible (3) Fig. No. 4, de roues (2) Fig. No. 4 et d'un système de frein (7) et (8) Fig. NO. 4 évitant tout retour en arrière lors du remplissage d'un engin ou en positon de repos. Le frein est désactivé soit par une traction sur le flexible ou par une tringlerie. Il est composé d'un patin en caoutchouc (8) Fig. NO. 4 ou en matière plastique (8) Fig. No. 4, d'un élément ressort (7) Fig. NO. 4. Dans certain cas, il peut être constitué par un rail à crémaillère ou rainuré et d'un système de cliquets. NO. 4, a flexible support element (3) FIG. No. 4, of wheels (2) Fig. No. 4 and a brake system (7) and (8) Fig. NO. 4 avoiding any backtracking when filling a machine or in resting position. The brake is deactivated either by a pull on the hose or by a linkage. It consists of a rubber pad (8) Fig. NO. 4 or plastic (8) Fig. No. 4, of a spring element (7) Fig. NO. 4. In some cases, it can consist of a rack or grooved rail and a ratchet system.

Les chariots Equilibreur de charge sont identiques aux chariots simples
Fig. NO. 3 mais sont équipés d'un équilibreur de charge supportant un tuyau flexible afin d'obtenir une longueur de flexible déployée supplémentaire. Load balancer trolleys are identical to single trolleys
Fig. NO. 3 but are equipped with a load balancer supporting a flexible hose in order to obtain an additional length of flexible hose.

Le tuyau flexible (5) Fig. NO. 5 est en caoutchouc ou autre matière et peut être réchauffé. Le dispositif de réchauffage est constitué d'un traceur ou d'une bande électrique chauffant, régulé par un thermostat et disposant d'un calorifugeage externe. The flexible hose (5) Fig. NO. 5 is made of rubber or other material and can be reheated. The reheating device consists of a tracer or an electric heating strip, regulated by a thermostat and having an external insulation.

Le système anti-arrachement (9) Fig. NO. 5 est constitué d'un raccord mâle et d'un raccord femelle. L'un des deux raccords doit être auto-obturant et il est placé du côté de l'arrivée du fluide distribué. Le système anti-arrachement est placé au plus proche de l'extrémité du flexible avant le pistolet ou le raccord de distribution (D) Fig. No. 1. Dans certain cas, il est fixé sur un chariot Fig. No. 5 et est supporté par des câbles (10) Fig. NO. 5. The anti-tearing system (9) Fig. NO. 5 consists of a male connector and a female connector. One of the two connections must be self-sealing and it is placed on the side of the incoming fluid. The anti-tearing system is placed as close as possible to the end of the hose before the gun or the distribution fitting (D) Fig. No. 1. In some cases it is fixed on a trolley Fig. No. 5 and is supported by cables (10) Fig. NO. 5.

La distribution est effectuée par un pistolet de distribution (D), ou par une vanne ou tout autre système de raccordement suivant le type d'engin à ravitailler. The distribution is carried out by a distribution gun (D), or by a valve or any other connection system depending on the type of machine to be supplied.

Le dispositif de l'invention peut être raccordé à une installation de pompage, de filtration, ou de gestion électronique des fluides distribuées (E) Fig. NO. 2. The device of the invention can be connected to a pumping, filtration, or electronic management system for the distributed fluids (E) FIG. NO. 2.
