Definitions

  • the invention relates to a concrete sleeper with fixing elements for fixing rails incorporated, insertable or inserted into a sleeper body.
  • the position of the rails with conventional sleepers can be adjusted in the horizontal direction transverse to the rails with the rail fixing over a range of about 8 mm.
  • a larger range of adjustment would be desirable in order to compensate for example track errors due to tolerances of the concrete sleeper arising during manufacture of the fixed carriage way or subsequently.
  • a concrete sleeper which can be used for various track widths.
  • the concrete sleeper In the region of the rail support area, the concrete sleeper has four fixing apertures respectively into which dowels can be screwed.
  • the rail can be mounted at two different positions of the rail support area by means of rail fixings, a spacer being additionally required. Thus, in all, three different track widths can be realised. Since the rail can only be positioned in two different positions, the horizontal adjustability of this concrete sleeper is limited.
  • a similar concrete sleeper is known from EP 0 377 765 A1.
  • the rail can be positioned above one of the two middle through-apertures, so that two different positions are produced for each rail and therefore three different track widths. Continuous horizontal adjustment is not possible, however.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to indicate a concrete sleeper which permits improved horizontal adjustment and in which adjustment of the track is possible even subsequently.
  • the sleeper body of the concrete sleeper has at least four apertures for fixing elements per rail to be fixed, and these elements are arranged in pairs to the left and right of the rail support area, the two apertures for fixing elements of one pair being arranged staggered in the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper.
  • fixing elements includes in this case dowels and/or sleeper bolts, in particular for through-bolts, or shoulders incorporated in the concrete sleeper. With these fixing elements, different options are available for fixing the rail to the concrete sleepers.
  • the horizontal position of the rail can be adjusted virtually continuously over a wide range by selectively screwing each sleeper bolt into a dowel of a dowel pair, in which case one such dowel pair is provided both to the left and right of the rail.
  • the angle guidance plates disposed to the left and right of the rail have different widths. If a sleeper bolt is offset on one side of the rail, the sleeper bolt must be similarly offset in the rail longitudinal direction on the other side of the rail in order that the distance between the two angle guidance plates remains constant. If this is not possible or not desirable, the altered position of the sleeper bolt can also be compensated by using a different angle guidance plate. Accordingly, the horizontal position of the rail can be adjusted virtually continuously over a wide range by the selection of respectively fitting angle guidance plates.
  • the angle guidance plates disposed to the left and right of the rail are arranged staggered in the longitudinal direction of the rail.
  • the arrangement of the fixing apertures in the concrete sleeper causes fewer problems.
  • the invention relates to a method of adjusting the position of rails which are fixed by means of fixing elements incorporated, insertable or inserted into a sleeper body of a concrete sleeper.
  • a concrete sleeper with a sleeper body which has at least four apertures for fixing elements per rail to be fixed, the apertures being arranged in pairs to the left and right of the rail support area, the two apertures for fixing elements of one pair being arranged staggered in the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper.
  • dowels and/or sleeper bolts in particular for through-bolts, or shoulders incorporated in the concrete sleeper are used as fixing elements.
  • each sleeper bolt can be inserted selectively into one of two dowels, the fixing position of the rail on the concrete sleeper can be adjusted in its longitudinal direction during the manufacture of the fixed carriageway or subsequently.
  • the sleeper bolts are undone and at least one sleeper bolt is screwed into another dowel.
  • both sleeper bolts can be screwed into other dowels.
  • angle guidance plates of different widths can be used to the left and right of the rail.
  • the sleeper bolts can be undone and at least one sleeper bolt screwed into another dowel.
  • angle guidance plates which have a different width from the angle guidance plates originally used.
  • FIG. 1 a concrete sleeper according to the invention with assembled rail in a section view
  • FIG. 2 a plan view of a concrete sleeper with angle guidance plates
  • FIG. 3 a further embodiment of a concrete sleeper with angle guidance plates
  • FIG. 4 a further embodiment of a concrete sleeper with angle guidance plates
  • FIG. 5 a further embodiment of a concrete sleeper with angle guidance plates.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail of a sleeper body of a concrete sleeper 1 in the region of a rail support area 2 .
  • the concrete sleeper 1 comprises altogether two rail support areas 2 , which are connected together by a middle portion (not shown).
  • the rail support areas 2 are symmetrical with respect to the centre line of the concrete sleeper 1 .
  • the fixing elements comprise fixing apertures and dowels inserted therein, into which the sleeper bolts are screwed.
  • the fixing apertures In the rail support area 2 shown in FIG. 1 , four fixing apertures 3 are formed, which are staggered relative to the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper 1 .
  • a dowel 4 is inserted into each fixing aperture 3 .
  • a rail 5 rests on an intermediate plate 6 , below which a base plate 7 and a resilient intermediate plate 8 are located.
  • angle guidance plates 9 , 10 are used, which have a fundamentally cuboid shape and whose inclined outer face 11 is adapted to the incline of the oblique face 12 of the concrete sleeper 1 .
  • Sleeper bolts 13 , 14 are screwed into the dowels 4 and press clamping members 15 , 16 against the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 and the rail foot 17 of the rail 5 .
  • the concrete sleeper 1 has four dowels 4 for the rail 5 to be fixed, which dowels are arranged in pairs on the left- and right-hand side respectively of the rail support area 2 .
  • the two dowels of one dowel pair are in this case arranged staggered relative to one another respectively in the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper 1 .
  • the position of the rail 5 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction, perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction by inserting the sleeper bolts 13 , 14 into one of the two dowels on the left-hand side of the rail support area and into one of the two dowels on the right-hand side of the rail support area 2 .
  • the different fixing positions are compensated by correspondingly selected fitting angle guidance plates 9 , 10 , so that by selecting suitable mutually fitting pairs of angle guidance plates 9 , 10 , the position of the rail 5 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction.
  • the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 used may have different widths.
  • the essential feature is that the gap between the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 remains substantially constant and corresponds to the width of the rail foot 17 .
  • the position of the rail can in practice be adjusted roughly over a range of 8 to 40 mm, preferably a range of roughly 15 to 30 mm.
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail of a concrete sleeper 18 in a plan view.
  • the fixing apertures 3 with the dowels 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 are arranged staggered relative to one another with respect to the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper 18 .
  • four dowels 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 are provided, which are arranged as the corners of a trapezium on the rail support area 2 .
  • one dowel 19 , 20 of the left-hand dowel pair and one dowel 21 , 22 of the right-hand dowel pair are used. Accordingly, there are different options for fixing a rail, which are shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 .
  • the two lower dowels 19 , 21 are used to fix the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 by means of sleeper bolts. Since the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 have different widths, the rail is fixed off-centre on the rail support area 2 .
  • the two lower dowels 19 , 21 are used for fixing angle guidance plates 23 , 24 .
  • these angle guidance plates 23 , 24 have different widths compared to the angle guidance plates 9 , 10 of FIG. 2 .
  • a virtually continuous horizontal adjustment of the rail can take place without changing the position of the sleeper bolts.
  • the diametrically opposite dowels 19 , 22 are used to fix angle guidance plates 25 , 26 .
  • the angle guidance plates are staggered relative to one another in the rail longitudinal direction.
  • the length of the angle guidance plates 25 , 26 is shorter than that of the angle guidance plates 23 , 24 .
  • the dowels 19 , 22 are used to fix the angle guidance plates 27 , 28 .
  • the angle guidance plates 27 , 28 are of different widths, so that the rail is offset in the longitudinal direction of the concrete sleeper 18 compared to the arrangement of FIG. 4 .
  • the precise adjustment of the rail position takes place by the selection of suitable angle guidance plates 27 , 28 .
  • the distance between the two respectively opposite angle guidance plates is in this case so selected that it approximately corresponds to the width of the rail foot,
