Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a railway train intended to be used for the renewal or laying of railway tracks.
  • a railway train which is intended to be used for the renewal of railways, comprising an operating assembly formed by a first vehicle provided with two axles or bogies, by a second vehicle articulated by the one of its ends at a point on the first vehicle overhanging with respect to the axles, and provided with a single axle or bogie, situated near the end opposite to said articulation;
  • the first vehicle is provided with means for removing the old rails, means for allowing the second axle to advance on the old sleepers already deprived of the rails, and means for handling the old and new equipment;
  • the oar further comprises means for removing old sleepers, means for leveling or moving or loosening the ballast, and means for laying new sleepers, located on an auxiliary frame between the two axles, and means for correcting the position of this auxiliary chassis and therefore the installation position of the new sleepers.
  • the articulation between the two vehicles is arranged at a considerable height above the level of the vehicle coupling hooks, level at which the traction forces of the train develop.
  • the means for correcting the position of the auxiliary chassis Due to these different levels at which the main stresses develop, and therefore to the resulting flexion and torsion stresses, the chassis of the two vehicles must be very heavy, bulky and therefore expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the railway trainsets intended for the indicated function, so as to considerably reduce their weight, size and cost, and to make them easier and more rational to use, that is to say concerns operations to renew damaged equipment while maintaining the previous route, that is to say with regard to the possible introduction of corrections to the route of the track.
  • the railway train according to the present invention mainly has the characteristics indicated in claim 1.
  • the first vehicle of the operational set of the railway train according to the invention (preceded, as usual, by storage wagons which transport the new materials to be laid and which are intended to receive the old materials which have been removed) rolls with its first axle on the track to be renewed, previously freed from the fasteners, removes the old rails and advances with its second axle on the sleepers still laid, therefore faithfully following the pre-existing route.
  • the second vehicle of the operating unit for its part, being articulated at a point on the first vehicle which is cantilevered with respect to the axles, spontaneously tends to be arranged with its own longitudinal axis tangential to the trajectory of the pre-existing line when the latter moves away from the straight line, so that the installation of new sleepers spontaneously tends to be made while respecting the previous line, thus minimizing the importance of the necessary corrections, which can be carried out manually or automatically , by using the special means provided in the articulation zone, either to maintain the old layout with the greatest precision, or to carry out the desired modifications on the latter.
  • the invention also relates, specifically, to means for laying new sleepers, means for correcting, as necessary, the position of the second vehicle, and a depot for special sleepers.
  • a railway train for the renewal of railways generally comprises an operating assembly according to FIG. 1 (predisposed to advance from right to left according to the drawing), subsequent operating means, known per se, mounted on wagons , not shown, which follow the operational assembly, and a certain number of storage wagons, intended to carry the new materials which must be laid and to receive the old materials which have been removed, disposed (in the direction of advancement of the train) in front of the operating assembly shown in Figure 1.
  • the operating assembly according to FIG. 1 comprises two vehicles defined by their chassis 1 and 2, which are reciprocally articulated in a spherical manner at 3.
  • the chassis of vehicle 1 has a first axle 4 and a second axle 5 (these axles can however be replaced by corresponding bogies), while the chassis of the vehicle 2 rests anteriorly, through the articulation 3, on the chassis 1, and later on its own axle 6 (which could also be replaced by a bogie ).
  • the articulation point 3 is located in overhang relative to the axles 4 and 5 of the first vehicle 1.
  • Figure 2 are shown schematically, by their axes, the path of the track along which is or must be arranged track B, and the first and second vehicle 1 and 2, reciprocally articulated in 3.
  • the axis of track B forms a curve
  • the axis of vehicle 1 which rests on axles 4 and 5
  • the articulation point 3 which is cantilevered, moves outside the curve.
  • the chassis 1 of the first vehicle carries, in its upper part, a transporter 7 connected to a depot B for the old removed sleepers, a depot 9 for the new sleepers to be laid, and a service track 10 for a portal transporter (known per se and not shown) intended for the handling of materials between depots 8 and 9 and the storage wagons arranged in front of the operating unit 1-2.
  • the chassis 1 carries, in its lower part, an engine group 11, generally a diesel engine actuating a hydrodynamic power station and an electric generator for supplying the various operating members of the assembly, a chassis 12 provided with pliers.
  • rollers 13 arranged (in a manner known per se) to lift the underlying sleepers and to move away the old rails which have to be removed, and an auxiliary bogie 14 (which can be lifted by means of a hydraulic cylinder 15) forming part means for allowing the second axle 5 to advance on the old sleepers already devoid of the rails.
  • the chassis 2 of the second vehicle carries in its upper part a transporter 16, connected to the transporter 7 of the first vehicle, for the old sleepers removed, a transporter 17, connected to the depot 9 of the first vehicle, for the new sleepers to be laid, a parapet platform 18 for checking the installation and for possible interventions on the respective mechanisms, an operating cabin 19 and a depot 20 (described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6) for special sleepers to be installed in special places, such as at level crossings.
  • the chassis 2 carries, in its lower part, a device 21 for removing the old sleepers, which supplies the conveyor 16, a coulter 22 for leveling or removing the ballast, the group 23 for laying the new sleepers (described more in detail below with reference to Figure 4), a distributor 24 for special sleepers coming from the depot 20, and a tracked support 25 which can be lifted, for example, by means of a hydraulic cylinder 26.
  • the latter assembly which is raised during the approach walk on the track, when the axle 6 is active, is lowered (in the position shown) during work and allows the second vehicle 2 to proceed by relying on the new crosspieces laid, still devoid of the rails (or alternatively, laterally to said sleepers).
  • a hydraulic cylinder 26A can be provided to fix the orientation of the tracked support 25 when the latter is active.
  • the operating assembly described acts by proceeding in continuous movement to the left according to FIG. 1, by rolling by means of axle 4 on the old unbolted rails, by lifting and removing the old rails by means 12-13 while the old sleepers remain on the ballast, rolling on these old sleepers by means of the axle 5 and the auxiliary bogie 14, removing by means of the removal device 21 the old sleepers that the carriers 16 and 7 send to the depot 8, by leveling or moving the ballast by means of the ploughshare 22 and the associated operating means, and by placing in the point C new sleepers, on which the assembly advances by means of the tracked support 25.
  • the subsequent operations installation of new rails, compacting the ballast, etc.
  • successive operating means which are not part of the present invention and which are neither described nor illustrated here.
  • the second vehicle 2 is articulated to the first vehicle in the manner already described, thanks to which the point C of laying of the new sleepers results located, with a good approximation, on the curve formed locally by the track, the laying of the sleepers takes place spontaneously in a manner very close to the optimal way. Only small corrections may be necessary, especially in the event of track anomalies, or when for any reason it is desired to modify the previous track layout.
  • two horizontal hydraulic cylinders 52, 53 are installed which allow the modification of the angle A (FIG. 2) formed between the axis of the chassis 2 of the second vehicle and the axis of the chassis 1 of the first vehicle, thereby modifying, as necessary, transverse to the track, the position of the point C of installation of the new sleepers.
  • the angle A formed between the two chassis 1 and 2 can be determined exactly by reading devices 54, for example potentiometers, installed on a chassis and connected to the other chassis by means of flexible spacers 55.
  • the calculation of the corrections and the maneuvering of the cylinders 52 and 53 can be carried out manually or by automatic means programmed in an appropriate manner, on the basis of the knowledge of said angle A and of the local geometrical parameters of the track .
  • the various operating devices 21-24 installed on the chassis 2 can conveniently be provided with means for individually adjusting the operating position of these devices.
  • a corridor or strip is usually used which reaches as close as possible to the ballast and onto which the sleepers descend one after the other under the control of a shutter which lets them proceed one by one. times at the appropriate time; installation on the ballast is done by falling from the lower end of the corridor or strip.
  • This arrangement has the disadvantage that, when a sleeper is about to leave the corridor or strip, all the load of its weight is concentrated on its lower posterior edge, which is often damaged, especially if it is of concrete sleepers.
  • the variability of the distance between the end of the corridor and the ballast, and other accidental conditions can lead to some irregularities in the installation of the sleepers by this process.
  • the gripping device 49 raised in the position represented by broken lines, is fed each time by a crosspiece which it grasps while it is pressed on the flap 47, and successively the flap 47 is lowered and the device 49 allows to place the cross member on the ballast by adjusting its position with the desired precision. During this operation, no concentration of forces is applied in any part of the crosspiece which, therefore, is laid under completely intact conditions.
  • the depot 20 installed in the operative assembly has the purpose of providing special sleepers T intended to be used in particular places on the line, for example in correspondence with level crossings, these special sleepers being able to be laid, in the point C, by means of a special laying device 24.
  • the depot 20 comprises a horizontal conveyor 68 arranged to carry the special sleepers of the depot 20 to the laying devices 24, and a vertical conveyor 69 provided with a plurality of pairs of horizontal consoles 70, 71, 72, etc., superimposed on each other with a uniform pitch, supporting superimposed rows of special sleepers T.
  • each pair of consoles has a different spacing than that of the other pairs of consoles and the spacing of the horizontal conveyor 68; for example, as shown in figure 6, the spacing can increase from bottom to top.
  • the pairs of consoles 70, 71, etc. as they arrive below the level of the horizontal conveyor 68, accumulate alongside this conveyor at the level of the chassis 2, in the positions indicated by broken lines. Thanks to this arrangement, a compact deposit is produced which contains in a small space a considerable number of crosspieces T, and which can be loaded and unloaded by simple and rapid operations.
  • railway train according to the invention can have all the characteristics described or even only a part of them, depending on the applications specific to what it is intended for. Different modifications can be made to the details described, and all parts and groups can be replaced by their technical equivalents.
