Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation for cleaning a ballast bed, consisting of vertically adjustable crawler tracks, a clearing chain for picking up ballast, and a screening installation having a ballast discharge device.
  • a machine for cleaning a trackless ballast bed which is equipped with on-track undercarriages as well as crawler tracks.
  • Located underneath an endless bucket chain for picking up ballast is a screening installation for cleaning the picked-up ballast and discharging the same in front of the crawler track upon the bedding.
  • a receiving unit of the clearing chain is arranged between the two crawler tracks of the first machine frame, and the ballast discharge device is arranged between the two crawler tracks of the second machine frame;
  • the two on-track undercarriages are arranged in each case at a front or rear frame end.
  • the distances between the undercarriages are short in each case, so that the individual vehicles can be operated without problems also in tight track curves. Furthermore, in the case of a total excavation of an especially soiled ballast bed, the part of the installation comprising the screening installation can be detached simply and quickly.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view and FIG. 2 a top view of an installation for cleaning a ballast bed.
  • An installation 1 for cleaning a ballast bed 2 consists essentially of a first a machine frame 3 and a second machine frame 4 coupled to the former. Associated with these are two crawler tracks 5 and two on-track undercarriages 6 in each case. The latter are each connected to a front or rear frame end 7 , 8 .
  • Each crawler track 5 is designed for vertical adjustment relative to the machine frame 3 , 4 by means of a drive 9 .
  • At least one crawler track 5 and one on-track undercarriage 6 of each machine frame 3 , 4 is equipped with a motive drive 10 which is supplied with energy by a motor 11 arranged on the machine frame 3 , 4 .
  • the first machine frame 3 has a clearing chain 12 , the receiving unit 13 of which is arranged between the crawler tracks 5 .
  • the clearing chain 12 is designed to be set in rotation and to be vertically adjustable by means of drives 14 , 15 .
  • Ballast 16 picked up by the clearing chain 12 is transported via conveyor belts 18 against a working direction 17 to a screening installation 19 arranged on the second machine frame 4 .
  • a ballast discharge device 20 which is arranged between the crawler tracks 5 of the second machine frame 4 .
  • the cleaned ballast 16 is reintroduced to form the ballast bed 2 and subsequently consolidated by means of a consolidation device 21 located on the second machine frame 4 .
  • Spoil accumulating during the cleaning process is transported via further conveyor belts 22 to a storage wagon 23 .
