Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plate element which is provided to guide a rail in a rail fixing point and is manufactured from plastics material.
  • the invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of a plate element of this type.
  • Modern rail fixing points which in particular are used in the area of heavy goods vehicles or on high-speed lines, regularly comprise various plate-shaped components manufactured from plastics materials which are used to support and guide the rails to be fixed.
  • plate-shaped components for fixing rails include plates known in technical language as “steering plates”, “packing plates”, “angled guide plates”, “spacer plates”, “pressure distribution plates” and “ribbed plates”.
  • steering plates of the type in question here have a dual function as part of a system for fixing a rail for railway vehicles.
  • they are used for the lateral guiding of the rails and absorb the transverse forces on them when they are fully assembled on the tracks, which transverse forces occur when the respectively supported rails are being run over in the respective fixing points.
  • a spring element is generally supported and guided on the steering plates, which spring element exerts the required elastic holding force which presses the rails against the respective subsoil.
  • known steering plates In order to carry out this dual function, known steering plates generally have a contact surface which functions in a fully assembled position against the foot of the rails to be fixed, against which contact surface the rails function when they are being run over by a railway vehicle.
  • the steering plates are supported against the respective subsoil carrying the rails either by means of a support surface which is formed on the side of the steering plate which opposes the contact surface and is turned away from the rails and functions against a shoulder formed on the respective subsoil, or at least a fixing element which connects the steering plate rigidly with the respective subsoil.
  • the steering plate is formed as an “angled guide plate” then an additional indent may be formed on the underside of the steering plate which extends in a longitudinal direction of the steering plate, which indent sits in an interlocking manner in a correspondingly formed recess of the subsoil when assembled. In this way, the position of the steering plate is fixed transverse to the longitudinal extension of the rails.
  • a passage opening leading from the upper side to the lower side is regularly created in currently conventional steering plates.
  • the tensioning element required to tension the respective spring element is inserted through this passage opening in order to couple it to the subsoil carrying the rails.
  • a screw or a threaded bolt is used as a tensioning element, which can be screwed into a screw anchor inserted into the subsoil.
  • steering plates of this type In order to be able to transport, store and assemble it simply, in addition to sufficiently high resilience of steering plates of this type for the dual function described above, in principle a low weight is required. This requirement can be met by the steering plates being made from a resilient, robust plastics material. Examples of steering plates of this type are described in DE 102 54 679 B4, DE 41 01 198 C1 and DE 20 2004 020 816 U1.
  • Packing plates, spacer plates, pressure distribution plates and ribbed plates are used in rail fixing systems of the type in question in order to transfer the loads, which occur when the fixing point formed by a fixing system of this type is being run over, in the direction of gravity over a wide area and evenly over the subsoil on which the fixing point is constructed.
  • the local conditions and their assembly position within the respective rail fixing system for this purpose they extend at least over the width of the foot of the rails measured transverse to the longitudinal extension of the rails or extend laterally beyond this.
  • the plates in question then either lie directly on the respective subsoil in question or are supported by one or a plurality of intermediate layers on the subsoil.
  • Packages of a plurality of layers consisting of different plates and intermediate layers consisting of elastic material are also formed, through which a, on the one hand even distribution of the loads which occur and on the other hand the required elasticity for a long lifetime of the rails to be fixed, required elastic resilience of the fixing point in the direction of gravity is ensured.
  • Ribbed plates are a special case for the plate-shaped components for rail fixings.
  • the ribs are spaced from one another such that they guide the rail foot laterally and take on the transverse forces which occur when the fixing point formed by the respective rail fixing system is run over.
  • plate elements consisting of plastics material of the type in question here are generally manufactured by injection moulding. Even if plastics material plate elements are used in practice, there is a fundamental problem that for example in steering plates, packing plates or ribbed plates comparatively large parts with high wall thickness and material volume are used. This large shape is necessary according to current understanding for the plate elements to be able to absorb the high forces generated during practical operation and to provide sufficient area to support the rails or the other elements of a rail fixing system such as for example each of the spring elements.
  • the object of the invention was to create a plate element which can be manufactured in a particularly simple, cost-effective manner and has optimal characteristics.
  • a method for the manufacture of a plate element of this type should also be given.
  • the solution to the above mentioned object according to the invention is that the measures given in Claim 15 are carried out in the manufacture of the plate element according to the invention.
  • a plate element according to the invention to fix a rail in a rail fixing point is therefore made up of at least two parts which are manufactured spatially separate from one another which are connected to one another in a rigid manner.
  • the method according to the invention for the manufacture of a plate element of this type includes the following steps:
  • a plate element for a rail fixing is created, which plate element is made up of at least two parts which are rigidly connected to one another and are initially pre-produced and then joined together in a further work step such that they are permanently rigidly connected.
  • a plate element according to the invention is therefore characterised by two or more parts which make it up are not joined during the production of the plate element in the tool used for this purpose in a completed process step as would, for example, be possible in injection moulding manufacture, but rather the parts of the plate element are joined together in a separate step outside of the tool in which they were made.
  • the division between the individual parts of a plate element according to the invention can be selected such that the individual components each individually and in the state when they are combined in the plate element fulfil the function they are assigned to in an optimal manner.
  • the divisional plane which is formed between the two parts can be parallel at least in sections and to be positioned at a distance from a contact surface of the plate element, with which contact surface the plate element stands on subsoil when it is in the position of use.
  • the division between the individual parts of a plate element according to the invention can also extend from the lower side to the upper side of the plate element.
  • a steering plate for lateral guiding of a rail in the section which comes into direct contact with the lateral edge of the foot of the rail to be guided can be made of a highly wear-resistant material while the section of the steering plate which is manufactured independently from the first section can consist of a lighter and more malleable material which enables a lighter weight and a complex shape that despite the lower rigidity of the material in the second section ensures a sufficiently high inherent stability.
  • the particular advantage of the invention is that the division of a plate element according to the invention into at least two parts reduces the cycle times in manufacture. This applies in particular when the parts of the plate element are made of plastics material, since the manufacturing time required for the injection moulding manufacture of a plastics material part is related quadratically to the wall thickness of the part in question. In this way, in a process cycle as part of a method according to the invention in a two-component injection moulding tool, both parts can be produced at the same time which results in a considerable reduction in the idle time required between filling the mould and solidifying.
  • the individual parts of a plate element according to the invention can then be manufactured together in a tool or in various tools before assembly. Simultaneous manufacture in a tool can then be expedient if the parts are to be manufactured using a moulding process from materials which are identical or at least similar in terms of their processability. This is the case, for example, if the parts of a plate element according to the invention are manufactured from plastics materials which are allocated reinforcing fibres if required in order to ensure the requisite rigidity. In this case, tools are used in which for example a number of cavities corresponds to the number of parts to be formed in which the individual parts are each manufactured individually and separately from the other parts.
  • the parts of a plate element according to the invention can be formed in different tools.
  • This method enables the materials used for the manufacture of the parts in question to be adapted to the loads which are exerted on these parts during practical application. It is conceivable, for example, for a part of the plate element which is highly loaded in practice to be manufactured from a high-strength plastics material, while another part on which filigree moulded element are to be formed, for example, can be manufactured from a well moulded plastics material which is less rigid.
  • the part of a plate element according to the invention which lies on the respective subsoil in the installation position and there under certain circumstances is loaded abrasively, from a plastics material with higher abrasive resistance than the other part on the optionally comparatively complexly formed moulded element should be in order to guide a spring element or to direct liquids which have gathered on the steering plate in a targeted manner.
  • one part can be manufactured from a metal material such as cast aluminium or cast iron, while the other part can consist of plastics material.
  • the plastics materials from which plate elements according to the invention are typically manufactured are generally thermoplastic plastics materials. These include, for example, polyamides (PA), polypropylenes (PP), polyethylene terephthalates (PET) or general products of polymerisation or polycondensation.
  • PA polyamides
  • PP polypropylenes
  • PET polyethylene terephthalates
  • the parts of a plate element according to the invention can be connected rigidly to one another through force-fit, positive engagement or adhesive bonds, or by a combination or mixture of these types of connection.
  • the manner in which the parts of a plate element according to the invention are joined together can also be selected depending on the loads which occur in practice or on the technique used for joining or connecting which is used to join together the pre-produced parts to a plate element according to the invention. It can therefore be expedient if an indent is shaped into the one part in which the other part sits.
  • the indent can be formed such that the part which sits in it is completely surrounded by the material of the other part up to an outer surface.
  • An arrangement of this type can be useful, for example, when the part which is sitting in the indent of the other part consists of a plastics material with high wear resistance and the other part consists of a material with high resistance to environmental factors such as UV rays, moisture and temperature but has a comparatively low wear resistance.
  • the outer part protects the other part sitting in its indent from environmental factors while the outer surface of the part sitting in the indent forms the layer with which the relevant plate element lies on the subsoil on which the respective rail fixing point is constructed.
  • the parts which form a plate element according to the invention can also be formed such that they interlock with one another in sections.
  • at least one recess can be formed on the one part into which a protrusion of the other part interlocks.
  • the protrusion of the one part can be formed as a notch which locks with the recess of the other part.
  • the recess can be formed as an indent with which the notch of the protrusion of the other part locks.
  • the protrusion of the one part can also be slightly larger than the recess of the other part such that by exerting sufficient pressure the protrusion can be pressed into the recess and is then force-locked there.
  • a layer can be provided which effects an adhesive connection with the respective other part on contact with the other part automatically or under the influence of heat, radiation energy such as UV light, chemical energy or force.
  • Layers of this type can be formed for example by a film inserted into the tool of the one part and back injection moulded by the material of the relevant part which activates after the moulding of the relevant part.
  • connection means such as screws, nails, rivets, brackets and the like can of course also be used to hold the parts of the plate element according to the invention together. It is also conceivable to use conventional joining and connection techniques such as clinching or clipping.
  • the use of soluble connection means has the advantage that if a certain part needs to be replaced due to wear or the entire plate element needs to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, the parts can be easily separated from one another.
  • the correct positioning of the parts of a plate element according to the invention can be supported by the parts being connected together articulatedly by means of a hinge.
  • the parts can then be pivoted onto one another about the axis formed by the hinge.
  • the hinge can be formed as a film hinge which is produced when the parts are manufactured.
  • the parts which form a plate element according to the invention can be produced from plastics material in the same tool separate from one another with one cavity per part, wherein the cavities are connected to one another by means of a sufficiently narrow channel in which the film hinge which connects the two parts articulatedly to one another is moulded. It is also conceivable that during the simultaneous injection moulding manufacture of the parts of a plate element the sprues provided to fill the moulding cavity can be designed such that after the demoulding of the parts they form a joint about which the parts can be folded together.
  • the correct positioning of the parts can also be supported by positioning guides such as moulding marks, pins or the like being provided for the correct positioning of the one part on the other part.
  • the plate element designed according to the invention is a steering plate which is provided to guide the rails to respectively be supported laterally in a rail fixing point. Due to their comparatively large volumes and the high local loads which steering plates of this type have to bear, the advantages of the design of a plate element of this type according to the invention are particularly favourable for fixing rails. In this way, the multiple parts provided according to the invention in particular in steering plates of this type enable the adaptation of the mechanical and other properties of individual sections of the steering plate under the conditions which occur in practice.
  • Packing plates and ribbed plates can also be manufactured in a cost-effective manner according to the invention, which packing plates or ribbed plates can likewise take in large volumes and can have complexly moulded in order to minimise their weight and carry out any necessary support and guiding functions.
  • the invention therefore provides a plate element for the fixing of rails for railway vehicles which can be manufactured in a particularly cost-effective manner.
  • the parts of the plate element are manufactured from plastics material, as the invention makes it possible to reduce the cycle time considerably.
  • a positive effect with manufacturing from plastics materials is that an improved manufacturing quality is achieved through the reduced volume of the individual parts with respect to the volume of an entire plate element, which manufacturing quality is characterised by minimised delay and also by minimised shrinkage.
  • the invention makes it possible to combine a standardised basic part which is pre-produced in large numbers and therefore cost-effectively with a part which is individually adapted to the relevant requirements, so that a considerable cost saving can be achieved.
  • the plate element according to the invention is a steering plate, a lower part which is always the same can be combined with an upper part which is optimally adapted to the type of spring element to be supported on the steering plate respectively.

  • the first part 101 and the second part 102 are connected in an interlocking manner when the plate element 100 is in a ready to use state, wherein this connection can be released when the notch protrusions 112 , 113 are lifted from the notch recesses 110 , 111 and the first part 101 is removed from the second part 102 .
  • cheek sections 117 , 118 formed on the lateral broad sides 115 , 116 of the second part 102 and projecting in the direction of the first part 101 from the front end E of the second part 102 form a lateral guide which prevents the first part 101 from slipping relative to the second part in a longitudinal direction when loaded.
  • the cheek sections 117 , 118 serve as positioning guides for the simple, correctly positioned alignment of the parts 101 , 102 .
  • the first part 101 is formed from a highly-loadable, fibre-reinforced plastics material and in particular in the section which is adjacent to the contact surface 105 it is designed to be sturdy so that it can tolerate high frictional loads. In this way, it is ensured that the first part 101 reliably takes on the mechanical loads which occur during use.
  • the second part 102 which extends over the rest of the width B and takes in the considerably greater proportion of the volume of the plate element 100 , however, is made of an easily malleable, less loadable plastics material of small thickness and therefore low weight, but statically designed such that it can easily direct the forces occurring during use into the subsoil against which it is supported safely.
  • the division of the plate element 100 makes it possible in order to further minimise the weight and increase its inherent stability based on its front side which is associated with the first part 101 to form chambers 119 , 120 and braces into the second part 102 which separate the chambers 120 from one another. In this way, not only is high rigidity of the second part 102 ensured but it is also attached to the contact surface provided on the underside 104 of the plate element 100 . This means that the loads occurring there are distributed over a large area. Accordingly, the danger of premature wear otherwise associated with the concentration of mechanical loads, in particular friction loads on small flat sections is reduced.
  • protrusions can be formed on the first part 101 with which the first part 101 engages into the front openings of the chambers 119 , 120 with minimised play when the plate element 100 is assembled and ready for use.
