Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. Eine derartige Einrichtung ist aus der DE-OS 32 34 651 bekannt.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is known from DE-OS 32 34 651.

Die bekannte Einrichtung läßt eine Montage des Gehäuses in zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen zu. Hierzu weist der vertikale Schenkel der das Gehäuse tragenden Konsole neben einem ersten Paar von Befestigungslöchern ein zweites, seitlich und in der Höhe versetztes Paar von Befestigungslöchern auf. Die Montage des Gehäuses in unterschiedlichen vertikalen Montagepositionen gegenüber dem Schienenfuß ist erforderlich, um bestimmte Mindestabstände zwischen der Schienenoberkante und der Ober­kante des einen oder mehrere Radsensoren aufnehmenden Gehäuses einzuhalten. Bei einer bestimmten Abnutzung des Schienenkopfes muß das Gehäuse zusammen mit der Konsole vom Schienensteg ge­löst, abgesenkt und wieder befestigt werden.The known device allows assembly of the housing in two different positions. For this purpose, the vertical leg of the bracket supporting the housing has, in addition to a first pair of fastening holes, a second pair of fastening holes which are offset laterally and in height. The assembly of the housing in different vertical assembly positions with respect to the rail base is necessary in order to maintain certain minimum distances between the top edge of the rail and the top edge of the housing that accommodates one or more wheel sensors. In the event of a certain wear on the rail head, the housing together with the console must be detached from the rail web, lowered and reattached.

Von Nachteil ist dabei, daß es nur zwei mögliche Montagepositi­onen für die Konsole gibt, so daß eine stufenlose Einstellung des Abstandes zwischen Schienenoberkante und Oberkante des Ge­häuses nicht möglich ist. Von Nachteil ist ferner, daß beim Ab­senken der Konsole ein seitlicher Versatz des Gehäuses und damit ein Versatz des bzw. der darin befindlichen Radsensoren eintritt. Die bekannte Einrichtung kann deshalb für Meßkon­takte, bei denen es auf die genaue örtliche Erfassung von Be­fahrungsereignissen ankommt, nicht verwendet werden.The disadvantage here is that there are only two possible mounting positions for the console, so that a continuous adjustment of the distance between the top edge of the rail and the top edge of the housing is not possible. Another disadvantage is that when the console is lowered there is a lateral offset of the housing and thus an offset of the wheel sensor or sensors located therein. The known device can therefore not be used for measuring contacts in which the precise local detection of traffic events is important.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Einrichtung nach dem Oberbe­griff des Patentanspruches 1 anzugeben, die eine stufenlose Höhenverstellung des Gehäuses ohne seitlichen Gehäuseversatz ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a device according to the preamble of claim 1, which enables a stepless height adjustment of the housing without lateral housing offset.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1. Der geforderte Höhenversatz des Gehäuses wird dabei durch unterschiedlich tiefes Einschrau­ben der beiden Gewindebolzen in die Gewindebohrungen der Konso­le bewirkt.The invention solves this problem by the characterizing features of claim 1. The required height offset of the housing is achieved by screwing the two threaded bolts into the threaded holes of the bracket at different depths.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous refinements of the device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Um eine unbeabsichtigte Höhenverstellung der Gewindebolzen beim Anziehen oder Lösen der Befestigungsschrauben für das Gehäuse zu vermeiden und um gleichzeitig einen spielfreien Sitz der Ge­windebolzen in der Konsole zu erzielen, sind die Gewindebolzen gemäß Anspruch 2 in der Konsole kraft- und/oder formschlüssig festzulegen. Dies kann z.B. durch Kontern der Gewindebolzen ge­schehen oder aber gemäß Anspruch 3 in besonders vorteilhafter Weise dadurch, daß in die Gewindebohrungen der Konsole Gewinde­einsätze mit schraubenklemmenden Bereichen eingesetzt sind. Die­se Ausführung der erfindunggemäßen Einrichtung macht ein Kontern der Gewindebolzen überflüssig.In order to avoid an unintentional height adjustment of the threaded bolts when tightening or loosening the fastening screws for the housing and at the same time to achieve a play-free fit of the threaded bolts in the console, the threaded bolts are to be fixed in the console according to claim 2 in a non-positive and / or positive manner. This can e.g. done by locking the threaded bolt or according to claim 3 in a particularly advantageous manner in that threaded inserts with screw-clamping areas are inserted into the threaded holes of the console. This embodiment of the device according to the invention makes it unnecessary to lock the threaded bolts.

In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Gewindebolzen gemäß Anspruch 4 aus einem Außenmehrkant mit einer geradzahligen Anzahl von zwei, vier, sechs oder acht Mantelflächen gefertigt und weisen ein durch Rollen verfestigtes Außenprofil auf. Dabei kann in vorteilhafter Weise gemäß Anspruch 5 an dem der Konsole abge­wandten Ende des Gewindebolzens ein Stück des Mehrkantes be­stehen bleiben, über diesen Mehrkant ist dann das Einschrauben des Gewindebolzens in die Konsole möglich.Advantageously, the threaded bolts are made from an external polygon with an even number of two, four, six or eight outer surfaces and have an outer profile that is solidified by rolling. In this case, a piece of the polygon can advantageously remain at the end of the threaded bolt facing away from the bracket, then the threaded bolt can be screwed into the bracket via this polygon.

Um eine gute kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Gehäuse und Gewindebolzen zu erzielen, ist nach der Lehre des Anspruches 6 vorgesehen, das Gehäuse zwischen seitlich über die Gewinde­bolzen vorstehenden Druckplatten festzulegen.In order to achieve a good non-positive connection between the housing and the threaded bolt, the teaching of claim 6 provides for the housing to be fixed between pressure plates projecting laterally beyond the threaded bolt.

Wenn zusätzlich zu der Höhenverstellung des Gehäuses auch eine seitliche Verstellung des Gehäuses möglich sein soll, dann sind nach der Lehre der Ansprüche 7 und 8 sowohl das Gehäuse als auch die Druckplatten mit senkrecht zur Schienenlängsachse ver­laufenden Langlöchern zu versehen, über die das Gehäuse, be­zogen auf die Mittelachsen der Gewindebolzen, mehr oder weniger weit seitlich ausgelenkt werden kann.If, in addition to the height adjustment of the housing, lateral adjustment of the housing is also to be possible, then according to the teaching of claims 7 and 8, both the housing and the pressure plates are to be provided with elongated holes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rail, via which the housing, based on the central axes of the threaded bolts, more or less can be deflected far to the side.

Die Verwendung keilförmiger Druckplatten gemäß Anspruch 9 erlaubt eine Schrägstellung des Gehäuses gegenüber der Schiene; eine solche Schrägstellung ist wünschenswert wenn das Gehäuse Aufnehmer eines an der Außenseite der Schiene anzubringenden Sensors sein soll. Anstelle keilförmiger Druckplatten können gemäß Anspruch 10 auch Keilscheiben zum Schrägstellen des Gehäu­ses verwendet sein; die Keilscheiben werden durch Normteile dar­gestellt. Um das Ausrichten des Gehäuses gegenüber der Fahr­schiene zu erleichtern, kann das Gehäuse gemäß Anspruch 11 mit Führungen für die keilförmigen Druckplatten bzw. die Keilschei­ben versehen sein.The use of wedge-shaped pressure plates according to claim 9 allows the housing to be inclined relative to the rail; Such an inclination is desirable if the housing is to be a sensor for a sensor to be attached to the outside of the rail. Instead of wedge-shaped pressure plates, wedge disks can also be used for tilting the housing; the wedge washers are represented by standard parts. In order to facilitate the alignment of the housing with respect to the running rail, the housing can be provided with guides for the wedge-shaped pressure plates or the wedge disks.

Nach der Lehre des Anspruches 12 ist vorgesehen, daß die Befe­stigung der das Gehäuse aufnehmenden Konsole an der Fahrschiene über Senkschrauben mit Innenimbus erfolgt. Dies ermöglicht den Einsatz von an der Außenseite der Schiene montierten Gehäusen in Rangieranlagen mit zwischen den Schienen eines Gleises ver­fahrbaren Fördereinrichtungen.According to the teaching of claim 12, it is provided that the bracket accommodating the housing is fastened to the travel rail via countersunk screws with an internal hex. This enables the use of housings mounted on the outside of the rail in shunting systems with conveyors that can be moved between the rails of a track.

Für die Befestigung der Konsole am Schienensteg sind nach der Lehre des Anspruches 13 in die vertikalen Schenkel der Konsole zwei in Längsrichtung der Schiene versetzte horizontale Gewinde­bohrungen zur Aufnahme von die Konsole am Schienensteg festle­genden Befestigungsschrauben einzubringen. Die Befestigung der Konsole am Schienensteg erfolgt dabei in vorteilhafter Weise gemäß Anspruch 14 dadurch, daß in die horizontalen Gewindeboh­rungen der Konsole Gewindeeinsätze mit schraubenklemmenden Be­reichen eingesetzt sind, die durch ihre Ausbildung ein unbeab­sichtigtes Lockern der Konsole von der Fahrschiene verhindern.For fastening the bracket to the rail web, two horizontal threaded bores offset in the longitudinal direction of the rail are to be made in the vertical legs of the bracket for receiving fastening screws fixing the bracket to the rail web. The bracket is attached to the rail web in an advantageous manner according to claim 14 in that threaded inserts with screw-clamping areas are used in the horizontal threaded bores of the console, which prevent the console from unintentionally loosening from the rail by their design.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand von in der Zeichnung darge­stellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt in Figur 1 ein an der Innenseite einer Fahrschiene und in Figur 2 ein an der Außenseite einer Fahrschiene angebrachtes Ge­häuse wie es z. B. für die Aufnahme eines Radsensors verwendet werden kann.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. The drawing shows in Figure 1 a on the inside of a rail and in Figure 2 attached to the outside of a rail as z. B. can be used to hold a wheel sensor.

In Figur 1 ist, teilweise in einer Schnittdarstellung, eine Fahrschiene 1 üblicher Bauart mit einem darüberlaufenden Fahr­zeugrad 2 zu sehen. Am Schienensteg an der Schieneninnenseite der Fahrschiene ist eine beispielsweise aus einem Aluminium-­Sandgußkörper bestehende Konsole 3 befestigt, die aus einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen Profil besteht, deren vertikaler Schenkel 31 am Schienensteg festzulegen ist und deren hori­zontaler Schenkel 32 das Gehäuse 4 eines Radsensors oder Rad­sensorpaares aufnimmt. Der horizontale Schenkel 32 der Konsole 3 weist zwei in Längsrichtung der Schiene 1 versetzt angeordne­te vertikale Gewindebohrungen zur Aufnahme je eines Gewindebol­zens auf, von denen in der Zeichnung nur der vordere Gewinde­bolzen 5 zu sehen ist. Die Gewindebolzen besitzen einen Außen­sechskant 6, über den sie in die Gewindebohrungen der Konsole 3 einschraubbar sind. Die Gewindebolzen sind ferner mit einem von oben zugänglichen Innengewinde 7 zur Aufnahme von Befestigungs­schrauben 8 versehen, über die das Gehäuse 4 stirnseitig an den Gewindebolzen festzulegen ist. Die Gewindebolzen sind vorzugs­weise als Drehteile aus einem Seckskant gefertigt, wobei zu­nächst das Innengewinde 7 durch Bohren und dann das Außenge­winde des Gewindebolzens durch Rollen hergestellt wird. Ein Teil des verbleibenden Mantelmaterials bildet dann den Sechs­kant 6, über den der Gewindebolzen 5 in die Konsole 3 einge­schraubt werden kann.FIG. 1 shows, partly in a sectional view, a travel rail 1 of a conventional type with a vehicle wheel 2 running over it. On the rail web on the inside of the running rail, for example, a console 3 consisting of an aluminum sand cast body is fastened, which consists of an essentially rectangular profile, the vertical leg 31 of which is to be fixed on the rail web and whose horizontal leg 32 accommodates the housing 4 of a wheel sensor or a pair of wheel sensors . The horizontal leg 32 of the bracket 3 has two vertical threaded bores arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the rail 1 for receiving one threaded bolt each, of which only the front threaded bolt 5 can be seen in the drawing. The threaded bolts have an external hexagon 6, via which they can be screwed into the threaded bores of the bracket 3. The threaded bolts are also provided with an internal thread 7 accessible from above for receiving fastening screws 8, by means of which the housing 4 is to be fixed on the end face of the threaded bolt. The threaded bolts are preferably made as turned parts from a hexagon, the internal thread 7 first being produced by drilling and then the external thread of the threaded bolt being produced by rolling. Part of the remaining jacket material then forms the hexagon 6, via which the threaded bolt 5 can be screwed into the bracket 3.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Lockern der Gewindebolzen in der Konsole zu verhindern, sind in die Gewindebohrungen der Konsole Gewinde­einsätze 9 mit schraubenklemmenden Bereichen eingesetzt. Diese Gewindeeinsätze bestehen vorzugsweise aus nichtrostendem Stahl und werden z.B. unter der Bezeichung HeliCoil, Typ Mid-Grip, von der Firma Böllhoff & Co. angeboten. Die Gewindeeinsätze bestehen aus einem wendelförmigen Gewindeeinsatz mit einer oder mehreren polygon geformten Windungen. Diese wirken klemmend auf die Flan­ken der eingedrehten Gewindebolzen, so daß ein elastisch federn­der Reibschluß entsteht. Auch für die Festlegung der Konsole an dem Schienensteg der Fahrschiene ist die Verwendung von Gewinde­einsätzen 10 mit schraubenklemmenden Bereichen vorgesehen. Die Befestigung der Konsole erfolgt über zwei in Längsrichtung der Fahrschiene versetzte Befestigungsschrauben 11.In order to prevent unintentional loosening of the threaded bolts in the console, threaded inserts 9 with screw-clamping areas are inserted into the threaded bores of the console. These thread inserts are preferably made of stainless steel and are offered by Böllhoff & Co., for example, under the name HeliCoil, type Mid-Grip. The thread inserts consist of a helical thread insert with one or more polygon shaped turns. These have a clamping effect on the flanks of the screwed-in threaded bolts, so that an elastically resilient frictional connection is created. The use of threaded inserts 10 with screw-clamping areas is also provided for fixing the bracket to the rail web of the travel rail. The console is fastened by means of two fastening screws 11 offset in the longitudinal direction of the travel rail.

Die stirnseitige Befestigung des Gehäuses an den Gewindebolzen erfolgt unter Verwendung von zwei sich von der Ober- und von der Unterseite gegen Gehäuseflansche anlegenden Druckplatten 12 und 13. Diese Druckplatten und die Gehäuseflansche sind mit quer zur Schienenlängsachse verlaufenden Langlöchern versehen, die es gestatten, das Gehäuse gegenüber den Befestigungsbolzen quer zur Schienenlängsachse mehr oder weniger weit auszulenken.The frontal fastening of the housing to the threaded bolts is carried out using two pressure plates 12 and 13 which bear against the housing flanges from the top and from the bottom. These pressure plates and the housing flanges are provided with elongated holes which run transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rail and allow the housing to deflect more or less far than the fastening bolts transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rail.

Ist der Schienenkopf der Fahrschiene 1 um ein bestimmten Maß ab­gefahren und soll deshalb des Gehäuse des bzw. der Radsensoren abgesenkt werden, so geschieht dies in folgender Weise: zunächst werden die Befestigungsschrauben 8, die das Gehäuse an den Gewindebolzen 5 festlegen, gelöst, ohne daß dabei aber die Befestigungsschrauben vollständig aus den Gewindebolzen heraus­gedreht werden müssen. Sodann werden die beiden Gewindebolzen mit Hilfe eines am Sechskant 6 der Bolzen angreifenden Maul­schlüssels jeweils gleichweit in die Konsole 3 eingedreht, bis sich die gewünschte Höhendifferenz für die Absenkung des Gehäu­ses 4 eingestellt hat. Dann werden die Befestigungsschrauben 8 wieder angezogen, wobei ggf. ein seitliches Nachjustieren des Gehäuses 4 vorgenommen werden kann. Das Gehäuse ist dann wieder fest montiert und der bzw. die Sensoren sind wieder betriebs­bereit.If the rail head of the running rail 1 has been moved to a certain extent and therefore the housing of the wheel sensor or wheels is to be lowered, this is done in the following way: First, the fastening screws 8 which fix the housing to the threaded bolts 5 are loosened without however, the fastening screws must be completely unscrewed from the threaded bolts. The two threaded bolts are then screwed into the bracket 3 equally far using a spanner engaging the hexagon 6 of the bolts until the desired height difference for lowering the housing 4 has been reached. Then the fastening screws 8 are tightened again, and if necessary a lateral readjustment of the housing 4 can be carried out. The housing is then firmly installed again and the sensor or sensors are ready for operation again.

Figur 2 zeigt die Anordnung eines Gehäuses an der Außenseite einer Fahrschiene; für die der Figur 1 entsprechenden Bauteile wurden die gleichen Bezeichnungen gewählt. Gegenüber der Anord­nung nach Figur 1 sind bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 2 die Gewindebolzen 5 länger bzw. sie stehen weiter aus der Konsole 3 vor, um das Gehäuse 4 näher an das die Schiene 1 befahrende Fahrzeugrad 2 heranzubringen. Für eine optimale Ankoppelung ei­nes im Gehäuse untergebrachten Sensors ist das Gehäuse zur Fahr­schiene hin schräggestellt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß zu­sätzlich zu den Andruckplatten 12 und 13 Keilscheiben 120 und 130 vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen das Gehäuse an den Gewinde­bolzen 5 festzulegen ist. Das Gehäuse 4 kann Führungen für die vorzugsweise rechteckigen Keilscheiben aufweisen, welche das Ausrichten des Gehäuses gegenüber der Schiene erleichtern. Es ist auch möglich, anstelle gesonderter Andruckplatten und Keil­ scheiben Andruckplatten mit keilförmigem Querschnitt zu verwen­den, wobei diese Andruckplatten dann gegebenenfalls ebenfalls mit Langlöchern zur seitlichen Verstellung der Gehäuse gegenüber der Schiene versehen sein können. Die für die Befestigung des Gehäuses an der Fahrschiene vorgesehenen Schrauben 11 sind bei Außenmontage des Gehäuses in Rangieranlagen mit Förderwagenbe­trieb als Senkschrauben mit Innenimbus auszuführen; hierdurch wird ein bündiger Abschluß der Befestigungsschrauben mit dem Schienensteg erreicht und der Freiraum zwischen den Schienen für die Laufrollen der Fördereinrichtungen freigehalten.Figure 2 shows the arrangement of a housing on the outside of a running rail; the same designations were chosen for the components corresponding to FIG. 1. Compared to the arrangement according to FIG. 1, the threaded bolts 5 are longer in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 or they protrude further from the bracket 3 in order to bring the housing 4 closer to the vehicle wheel 2 traveling on the rail 1. For an optimal coupling of a sensor housed in the housing, the housing is inclined towards the travel rail. This is achieved in that wedge disks 120 and 130 are provided in addition to the pressure plates 12 and 13, between which the housing is to be fixed on the threaded bolts 5. The housing 4 can have guides for the preferably rectangular wedge disks, which facilitate the alignment of the housing with respect to the rail. It is also possible to use separate pressure plates and wedges to use pressure plates with a wedge-shaped cross-section, these pressure plates then possibly also being provided with elongated holes for lateral adjustment of the housing relative to the rail. The screws 11 provided for fastening the housing to the travel rail are to be designed as countersunk screws with internal hex when the housing is mounted outside in shunting systems with tram operation; in this way, the fastening screws are flush with the rail web and the free space between the rails is kept free for the rollers of the conveyor devices.
