Definitions

  • a guide supports the mechanism so that it is located centrally between the track rails in one end position wherein the mechanism may be vertically adjusted and rotated to swing the ties between a first position transverse of the right of way and a second position parallel thereto, an intermediate position where the ties are laid or removed, and another end position wherein the ties are deposited on, or received from, the one conveyor end.
  • This one conveyor end is below the path of movement of the tie gripped by the mechanism between the intermediate and other end positions of the mechanism.
  • the present invention relates to improvements in an apparatus mounted for mobility along a right of way of a railroad track including rails mounted on ties, and wherein the right of way comprises a trackless ballast section and an adjacent track section.
  • the apparatus is of the known type wherein means is arranged in the trackless ballast section for lifting the rails off the ballast and for holding the rails spaced from theballast, an elongated conveyor means extends in the direction of the right of way for conveying ties to and from the trackless ballast section, with one end of the conveyor means adjacent the trackless ballast section and another end thereof leading to a tie transport car, and a guide means supports a mechanism for gripping ties for movement through a path extending in the direction of the right of way between end positions respectively adjacent the rail lifting means and the one end of the conveyor means.
  • the tie gripping mechanism is vertically adjustable from a first position below the lifted rails to .a second position above the rails, and rotatable about a vertical axis for swinging the ties in the first position of the mechanism between a first position transverse of the direction of the right of way and a second position substantially parallel thereto.
  • One of the end positions of the tie gripping mechanism, wherein the mechanism is rotated and vertically adjusted, is located substantially centrally between the rails, and a position intermediate the one and the other end positions of the mechanism serves to lay a selected one of the ties on the ballast and to remove it therefrom.
  • an outrigger extends from one end of the tie transport car over the trackless ballast section to support the guide for the tie gripping mechanism and, at its free outer end, the rail lifting and holding means.
  • a roller conveyor for the ties extends from the tie transport car'into the track section bridged by the outrigger to a point immediatelybehind the rail lifting means. Since the ties must be gripped at their point of gravity, which necessitates positioning of the tie gripping mechanism centrally between the rails, the tie conveyor has been arranged laterally adjacent the tie gripping mechanism so that the ties are conveyed longitudinally past the mechanism.
  • a crane or like means is arranged at the end of the conveyor adjacent the transport car to lift the ties off the car, swing them around 90 and then to deposit them on the conveyor, or to effect this tie movement in the reverse order.
  • the conveyed tie is moved laterally off the conveyor to rest on the ballast centrally between the rails, whereupon it is gripped by the tie gripping mechanism and swung in a horizontal plane around 90 to extend again transversely of the track, in which position it is moved to the position where it is laid on the ballast.
  • a tie transport car runs on the lifted rails, and the ties are lifted from, or deposited on, the ballast by a tie gripping mechanism fixedly mounted on an outrigger mounted on the car.
  • the movement phases of the mechanism between the position where the ties are laid or removed and the ,car are automatically controlled so that manual handling of the ties is unnecessary.
  • the tie gripping mechanism is fixedly held on the outrigger in the direction of the right of way, the entire apparatus must be moved in this direction to effectuate the necessary movements of the tie, requiring heavy motors and brakes. to match the inertia forces of the entire apparatus.
  • the tie gripping mechanism is capable of transporting a tie gripped thereby between the intermediate position and both end positions of the mechanism along the guide becomes superfluous.
  • the tie gripping mechanism since the one conveyor end is below the path of movement of the tie gripping mechanism, the ties may be transferred directly between the conveyor and the mechanism. This produces not only a very compact structure but a simple, fast and effective transfer of the ties between conveyor and ballast because the ties are continuously gripped by the mechanism during this transfer. Furthermore, the turning of the ties in the desired direction is greatly facilitated by simple rotation of the tie gripping mechanism.
  • the conveyor means is downwardly inclined towards the intermediate position of the tie gripping mechanism, and means is provided for pivoting the guide means for the mechanism between a position substantially parallel to the inclined conveyor means and a position substantially parallel to the track plane.
  • the lifting stroke of the tie gripping mechanism may be relatively short because the largest part of the path of movement of the ties between a position below the lifted rails and thereabove is effected by upward pivoting of the guide means.
  • the distance between the one end position of the tie gripping mechanism and the intermediate position thereof is at least equal to the difference between half a tie length and a crib width.
  • control means includelimit means responsive to respective end positions of these movements.
  • hydraulic means is provided for effectuating the movements, and the control means then in-.
  • solenoid valve means controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to the respective hydraulic moving means and limit switches operating the valve means.
