Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen schienengebundenen Transportwaggon mit einem von Seitenwänden seitlich begrenzten Bunker und mit einer im Bereich des Bunkerbodens durchgehend verlaufenden, vom Beladeende aus in Waggonlängsrichtung schräg nach oben fördernden und am Austragende über die Puffer auskragenden Fördereinrichtung, wobei die lichte Wandhöhe der Seitenwände des Bunkers über die gesamte Waggonlänge im wesentlichen gleich ist.The invention relates to a rail-bound transport wagon with a bunker that is laterally delimited by side walls and with a conveyor device that runs continuously in the area of the bunker floor, conveys upward from the loading end in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and projects over the buffers at the discharge end, with the clear wall height of the side walls of the bunker above the total wagon length is essentially the same.

Aus der Veröffentlichung "Conveyor Shuttle Train from Sweden", MINING JOURNAL, Band 264, vom 15. Januar 1965, S. 41, London, GB ist bereits ein Transportwaggon bekannt, sog. Hägglund-Waggon, bei dem eine im Bereich des Bunkerbodens durchgehende Fördereinrichtung leicht schräg nach oben ansteigt und über die Drehgestelle am Austragende auskragt. Dieses auskragende Austragende kommt bei einem angeschlossenen, gleich aufgebauten Folgewaggon knapp über dessen Beladeende zu liegen und erlaubt so eine Materialübergabe an den Folgewaggon und letztendlich ein durchgehendes Fördern von Material (Schotter, Abbaumaterial etc.) über die ganze Zuglänge. Die Übergabehöhe an den Folgewaggon entspricht im wesentlichen der Dicke des auskragenden Förderbandteils und ist wesentlich geringer als die lichte Höhe der Seitenwände des Bunkers (Seitenwandhöhe über der Förderbandoberseite), welche die Höhe der geförderten Materialsäule nach oben begrenzt. Ein Nachteil der Hägglund-Waggons besteht darin, daß die Höhe der Materialsäule bei einer Förderung über eine gröbere Zahl von hintereinandergeschalteten Transportwaggons laufend abnimmt (Zerfließen). Damit ist die durch die Bunkerbreite und -länge sowie die lichte Höhe der Seitenwände gegebene Bunkerkapazität bei den in der Förderkette hinteren Waggons nicht mehr voll ausgenutzt und es sind daher weitere Waggons nötig (gröbere Zuglänge), um eine bestimmte Materialmenge unterzubringen.From the publication "Conveyor Shuttle Train from Sweden", MINING JOURNAL, volume 264, dated January 15, 1965, p. 41, London, GB, a transport wagon is already known, the so-called Hägglund wagon, in which a continuous one in the area of the bunker floor Conveyor rises slightly obliquely upwards and protrudes over the bogies at the discharge end. This cantilevering end comes to lie just above its loading end in the case of a connected wagon of the same construction and thus allows material to be transferred to the wagon and ultimately a continuous conveying of material (ballast, dismantling material etc.) over the entire length of the train. The transfer height to the following wagon essentially corresponds to the thickness of the projecting conveyor belt part and is significantly less than the clear height of the side walls of the bunker (side wall height above the conveyor belt top), which limits the height of the material column being conveyed upwards. A disadvantage of the Hägglund wagons is that the height of the material column is continuously increased when conveying over a larger number of transport wagons connected in series decreases (deliquescence). This means that the bunker capacity given by the bunker width and length and the clear height of the side walls is no longer fully utilized in the wagons at the rear of the conveyor chain, and additional wagons are required (coarser train length) to accommodate a certain amount of material.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen kostengünstigen, auf Eisenbahnstrecken einsetzbaren Transportwaggon mit günstigem Nutzlast-Totlastverhältnis zu schaffen, dessen Bunkerkapazität auch bei einer Förderung über mehrere gleichartige Transportwaggons gut ausgenutzt wird.The object of the invention is to provide a cost-effective transport wagon that can be used on railway lines and has a favorable payload / dead load ratio, the bunker capacity of which is well utilized even when conveying via several similar transport wagons.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß der Höhenunterschied der Fördereinrichtung zwischen Beladeende und Austragende im wesentlichen gleich der lichten Wandhöhe der Seitenwände des Bunkers oder gröber als diese Wandhöhe ist, und daß der die beiden Drehgestelle verbindende Rahmen in seinem mittleren, im wesentlichen zwischen den beiden Drehgestellen liegenden Bereich hochgezogen ist und dort im Bereich des schräg nach oben liegenden Bunkers verläuft.This is achieved according to the invention in that the height difference of the conveyor between the loading end and the discharge end is substantially equal to the inside wall height of the side walls of the bunker or coarser than this wall height, and in that the frame connecting the two bogies is in its middle, essentially between the two bogies lying area is raised and runs there in the area of the sloping bunker.

Der zwischen den beiden Drehgestellen hochgezogene Rahmen des Transportwaggons stützt den Bunker in diesem Bereich ab. Dadurch läßt sich der Bunker bei vergleichsweise geringem Leergewicht so ausbilden, daß ein grobes Materialvolumen aufgenommen werden kann, wodurch sich ein günstiges Nutzlast-Totlastverhältnis ergibt. Außerdem ist bei einem derartig ausgebildeten Transportwaggon die Materialübergabehöhe in einem Folgewaggon gleicher Bauart gröber oder gleich der maximalen Materialhöhe, die über die gesamte Waggonlänge durch eine im wesentlichen gleiche lichte Höhe der Seitenwände begrenzt ist. Dadurch übergibt der Transportwaggon an seinem Austragende das Material immer im wesentlichen von oben auf das Material am Beladeende des Folgewaggons, wodurch die bis zur vollen lichten Höhe der Seitenwände des Bunkers reichende Höhe der geförderten Materialsäule auch über viele hintereinandergeschaltete Transportwaggons im wesentlichen erhalten bleibt. Die durch die über die gesamte Waggonlänge im wesentlichen gleiche lichte Seitenwandhöhe grobe Bunkerkapazität der einzelnen Transportwaggons ist voll ausgenutzt und die Zuglänge kann kürzer gehalten werden.The frame of the transport wagon, raised between the two bogies, supports the bunker in this area. As a result, the bunker can be designed with a comparatively low empty weight in such a way that a large volume of material can be taken up, which results in a favorable payload / dead load ratio. In addition, the material transfer height is in such a transport wagon in a subsequent wagon of the same type, coarser or equal to the maximum material height, which is limited over the entire length of the wagon by an essentially the same clear height of the side walls. As a result, the transport wagon at its discharge end always transfers the material essentially from above onto the material at the loading end of the next wagon, which means that the height of the material column being conveyed, which extends to the full clear height of the side walls of the bunker, is essentially retained even over many transport wagons connected in series. The rough bunker capacity of the individual transport wagons, which is roughly the same over the entire length of the wagon, is fully utilized and the train length can be kept shorter.

Außerdem erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Transportwaggons noch eine weitere Betriebsweise, bei der in geringer Höhe auf der Fördereinrichtung aufliegendes Material über (mehrere) Transportwaggons gefördert wird und dann in einem bestimmten Transportwaggon unter Ausnutzung des vollen Bunkerinhaltes gespeichert wird. Dazu betreibt man die Fördereinrichtung des speichernden Transportwaggons im sogenannten Stop-and-Go-Verfahren, d.h. man wartet, bis sich auf der Fördereinrichtung am Beladeende des speichernden Transportwaggons eine Material-anhäufung gebildet hat, deren Höhe etwa der Lichten Höhe der Seitenwand des Bunkers entspricht, und fährt dann mit der Fördereinrichtung ein Stück weiter. Durch die neuerungsgemäße Ausbildung des Transportwaggons kommt man dabei mit einer einzigen Fördereinrichtung (pro Transportwaggon) also ahne gesondertes Übergabeband zur Materialübergabe an dem Folgewaggon aus. Die durch den relativ großen Höhenunterschied der Fördereinrichtung zwischen Belade- und Austragende erzielte große Übergabehöhe erlaubt hier (durch einen beaufsichtigten Stop-and-Go-Betrieb des speichernden Förderbandes auch bei ungleichmäßig zugeführtem Material) eine Materialspeicherung im speichernden Transportwaggon bis zur vollen lichten Höhe der Seitenwände des Bunkers, also unter Ausnutzung der vollen Bunkerkapazität. Bei dieser Betriebsweise erfolgt also ausgehend vom letzten Transportwaggon eines Transportzuges eine sukzessive Füllung der Transportwaggons mit Material, das von vorhergehenden Transportwaggons in geringer Höhe angefördert wird. Nachdem einige Transportwaggons gefüllt sind, können diese vom übrigen Zug abgekuppelt und weggefahren werden. Inzwischen erfolgt die Materialspeicherung in den verbliebenen Transportwaggons. Nach Rückkehr des leeren, vorher abgekuppelten Transportzugteiles wird die inzwischen angefallene,günstigerweise bis zur vollen lichten Höhe der Bunker-Seitenwände gespeicherte Materialsäule in den dagebliebenen Transportwaggons in diese leeren Transportwaggons übergeben, wobei aufgrund der neuerungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Transportwaggons ein Abnehmen der Materialhöhe und eine damit verbundene schlechtere Ausnutzung des Bunkerinhaltes selbst bei einer Weitergabe der Materialsäule über mehrere Transportwaggon weit-gehend vermieden werden kann.In addition, the design of the transport wagon according to the invention allows a further mode of operation in which the material is resting on the conveyor at a low height Material is conveyed over (several) transport wagons and then stored in a specific transport wagon using the full bunker contents. For this purpose, the conveyor of the storage transport wagon is operated in the so-called stop-and-go process, ie one waits until a material accumulation has formed on the conveyor at the loading end of the storage transport wagon, the height of which corresponds approximately to the clear height of the side wall of the bunker , and then moves a little further with the conveyor. Due to the design of the transport wagon in accordance with the innovation, one single conveyor device (per transport wagon), ie without a separate transfer belt for material transfer to the following wagon, is sufficient. The large transfer height achieved by the relatively large height difference of the conveyor between the loader and the discharger allows material to be stored in the storing transport wagon up to the full clear height of the side walls (through supervised stop-and-go operation of the storing conveyor belt even when material is fed unevenly) of the bunker, i.e. using the full bunker capacity. In this mode of operation, starting from the last transport wagon of a transport train, the transport wagons are successively filled with material that is being conveyed from previous transport wagons at a low height. After some transport wagons have been filled, they can be uncoupled from the rest of the train and driven away. The material is now stored in the remaining transport wagons. After the return of the empty, previously uncoupled part of the transport train, the accumulated part is saved, advantageously up to the full clear height of the bunker side walls Transfer the material column in the remaining transport wagons into these empty transport wagons, whereby due to the new design of the transport wagons, a decrease in the material height and a related poor utilization of the bunker contents can be largely avoided even if the material column is passed on over several transport wagons.

Als Fördereinrichtungen eignen sich insbesondere endlos umlaufende Förderbandeinheiten, die über Umlenkeinrichtungen am Beladeende und Austragende umgelenkt werden, wobei das Obertrum der Förderbandeinheit in einer Ebene vom Beladeende schräg nach oben zum Austragende läuft.Suitable conveyor devices are, in particular, endlessly rotating conveyor belt units which are deflected via deflection devices at the loading end and discharge end, the upper run of the conveyor belt unit running obliquely upwards in one plane from the loading end to the discharge end.

Günstig ist es, wenn der Rahmen im mittleren Bereich des Transportwaggons lediglich aus dem im genannten mittleren Bereich versteiften Bunker gebildet ist. Auf diese Weise können die Pufferkräfte sicher aufgenommen werden, ohne einen gesonderten Rahmen vorzusehen, der die beiden Drehgestelle unterhalb des schräg nach oben verlaufenden Bunkers verbindet. Die Krafteinleitung von dem die Puffer tragenden Rahmenteil, an dem auch das jeweilige Drehgestell gelagert ist, in dem mittleren mit Verstärkungselementen versteiften Bunker erfolgt günstigerweise über schräg nach oben verlaufende Streben.It is favorable if the frame in the middle area of the transport wagon is formed only from the bunker stiffened in the middle area mentioned. In this way, the buffer forces can be safely absorbed without providing a separate frame that connects the two bogies below the sloping bunker. The force introduction from the frame part carrying the buffers, on which the respective bogie is also mounted, in the middle bunker stiffened with reinforcing elements is advantageously carried out by means of struts which run obliquely upwards.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles in der folgenden Figurenbeschreibung näher erläutert.Further advantages and details of the invention are explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment in the following description of the figures.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht auf einen neuerungsgemäßen Transportwaggon, die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den in Fig. 1 dargestellten Transportwaggon, die Fig. 3 zeigt schematisch die Übergabe einer Materialsäule von einem Transportwaggon auf den Folgewaggon, und die Fig. 4 zeigt schematisch den Speicherbetrieb, bei dem in geringer Höhe und/oder diskontinuierlich angefördertes Material im Folgewaggon unter Ausnutzung der vollen Bunkerkapazität gespeichert wird.1 shows a side view of a transport wagon according to the invention, FIG. 2 shows a top view of the transport wagon shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows schematically the transfer of a material column from a transport wagon to the following wagon, and FIG. 4 shows schematically the storage operation in which material is stored at a low height and / or discontinuously in the following wagon using the full bunker capacity.

Der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Transportwaggon weist einen von seitlichen Wänden 1 mit oben eingeschrägten Bereichen 1a begrenzten Bunker auf, in dessen Bodenbereich eine Bandfördervorrichtung 3 angeordnet ist, die vom Beladeende 4 aus in Waggonlängsrichtung schräg nach oben verläuft und am Austragende 5 über die Puffer 6 auskragt, um eine Materialübergabe an dem nur teilweise dargestellten Folgewaggon 7 zu ermöglichen. Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 schematisch dargestellte Bandfördervorrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einer endlos umlaufenden Bandfördereinheit, die um die Umlenktrommeln 8 und 9 umgelenkt wird und von der am Austragende angeordneten Umlenktrommel (Antriebstrommel) 9 angetrieben wird.The transport wagon shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a bunker delimited by side walls 1 with areas 1a chamfered at the top, in the bottom area of which a belt conveyor device 3 is arranged, which runs obliquely upwards in the longitudinal direction of the wagon from the loading end 4 and at the discharge end 5 the buffers 6 protrude in order to enable material to be transferred to the following wagon 7, which is only partially shown. The belt conveyor device shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially consists of an endlessly rotating belt conveyor unit which is deflected around the deflection drums 8 and 9 and is driven by the deflection drum (drive drum) 9 arranged at the discharge end.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Höhenunterschied ΔH der Fördereinrichtung 3, 8 und 9 zwischen Beladeende 4 und Austragende 5 im wesentlichen gleich der lichten Wandhöhe h der Seitenwände 1 des Bunkers oder größer als diese Wandhöhe h. Die lichte Wandhöhe der Seitenwände 1 des Bunkers ist beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über die gesamte Bunkerlänge gleich und in Fig. 1 eingezeichnet. Der Höhenunterschied der Fördereinrichtung 3, 8, 9 zwischen Beladeende 4 und Austragende 5 ist in Fig. 3 ersichtlich. Mit der durchgehend verlaufenden Fördereinrichtung mit der neuerungsgemäßen Ausbildung des Transportwaggons wird erreicht, daß der Transportwaggon an seinem Austragende 5 das Material immer im wesentlichen von oben auf das material am Beladeende 4′ des Folgewaggons 7 übergibt. Damit kann bei einer Förderung einer vollen Materialsäule (Materialhöhe im wesentlichen gleich der lichten Höhe h der Seitenwände 1) erreicht werden, daß diese volle Materialhöhe auch bei vielen hintereinander geschalteten Transportwaggons tatsächlich erhalten bleibt, und damit die hohe Bunkerkapazität der einzelnen Transportwaggons wirklich ausgenutzt wird. Die übergabe einer solchen Materialsäule 10 an einen Folgewaggon ist in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellt, in der für jeden Transportwaggon im wesentlichen nur die Fördereinrichtung 3, 8, 9 bzw. für den Folgewaggon 3′, 8′, 9′ schematisch dargestellt ist.According to the invention, the height difference ΔH of the conveyor 3, 8 and 9 between the loading end 4 and the discharge end 5 is substantially equal to the inside wall height h of the side walls 1 of the bunker or greater than this wall height h. The clear wall height of the side walls 1 of the bunker is the same over the entire length of the bunker in the exemplary embodiment shown and is shown in FIG. 1. The height difference of the conveyor 3, 8, 9 between loading end 4 and discharge end 5 can be seen in FIG. 3. With the continuous conveyor with the modern design of the transport wagon, it is achieved that the transport wagon at its discharge end 5 always transfers the material essentially from above onto the material at the loading end 4 'of the following wagon 7. When a full column of material is conveyed (material height essentially equal to the clear height h of the side walls 1) it can be achieved that this full material height is actually retained even in the case of many transport wagons connected in series, and thus the high bunker capacity of the individual transport wagons is really used. The transfer of such a material column 10 to a following wagon is shown schematically in Fig. 3, in which for each transport wagon essentially only the conveyor 3, 8, 9 or for the following wagon 3 ', 8', 9 'is shown schematically.

Außerdem erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Transportwaggons noch eine weitere in Fig. 4 dargestellte Betriebsweise, bei der in geringer Höhe und/oder nur teilweise auf der Fördereinrichtung 3 aufliegendes Material 11 zunächst über (mehrere) Transportwaggons gefördert wird und dann in einem bestimmten Transportwaggon (der Folgewaggon 7) unter Ausnutzung des vollen Bunkerinhaltes gespeichert wird. Dazu betreibt man die Fördereinrichtung 3′ des speichernden Transportwaggons 7 im sogenannten Stop-and-Go-Verfahren, d.h. man wartet bis sich auf der Fördereinrichtung 3′ eine Materialanhäufung gebildet hat, deren Höhe in etwa der lichten Höhe h der Seitenwand 1 des Bunkers entspricht und fährt dann mit der Fördereinrichtung 3′ ein Stück weiter. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Transportwaggons kommt man dabei mit einer einzigen, durchgehend verlaufenden Fördereinrichtung (pro Transportwaggon), also ohne gesondertes Übergabeband zur Materialübergabe an den Folgewaggon 7 aus. Die durch den relativ großen Höhenunterschied ΔH der Fördereinrichtung 3 zwischen Beladeende 4 und Austragende 5 erzielte große Übergabehöhe erlaubt eine Materialspeicherung im speichernden Transportwaggon 7 bis zur vollen lichten Höhe h der Seitenwände des Bunkers, also unter Ausnutzung der vollen Bunkerkapazität. Durch einen beaufsichtigten Stop-and-Go-Betrieb des speichernden Förderbandes 3′ kann auch bei ungleichmäßig über das Förderband 3 zugeführtem Material eine relativ gleichmäßige Materialspeicherung bis zur vollen lichten Höhe des speichernden Bunkers erzielt werden.In addition, the design of the transport wagons according to the invention allows a further operating mode shown in FIG. 4, in which material 11 lying at a low height and / or only partially on the conveying device 3 is first conveyed via (several) transport wagons and then in a specific transport wagon (the Follow car 7) is saved using the full bunker content. For this purpose, one operates the conveyor 3 'of the storing transport wagon 7 in the so-called stop-and-go method, ie one waits until a material accumulation has formed on the conveyor 3', the height of which corresponds approximately to the clear height h of the side wall 1 of the bunker and then moves a bit further with the conveyor 3 '. By the invention The design of the transport wagon can be done with a single, continuous conveyor (per transport wagon), that is, without a separate transfer belt for material transfer to the following wagon 7. The large transfer height achieved by the relatively large height difference .DELTA.H of the conveying device 3 between the loading end 4 and the discharge end 5 allows material to be stored in the storage transport wagon 7 up to the full clear height h of the side walls of the bunker, that is to say using the full bunker capacity. Through a supervised stop-and-go operation of the storage conveyor belt 3 'can be achieved even with unevenly fed via the conveyor belt 3, a relatively uniform material storage up to the full clear height of the storage bunker.

Ist eine bestimmte Anzahl von Transportwaggons mit Material gefüllt, so können diese vom übrigen Transportzug abekuppelt und zur Entleerung weggefahren werden. Dabei können die Verschlußklappen 12 und 13 (über Hydraulikzylinder 14) während des Transportes mit vollem Bunkerinhalt geschlossen werden. Inzwischen erfolgt die Speicherung des Materials in den dagebliebenen Transportwaggons. Kehrt der entleerte Transportzugteil zurück, so wird die inzwischen in den dagebliebenen Waggons angefallene Materialsäule, wie in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellt, in die entleerten Transportwaggons übergeben.If a certain number of transport wagons are filled with material, they can be uncoupled from the rest of the transport train and moved away for emptying. The flaps 12 and 13 can be closed (via hydraulic cylinder 14) during transport with full bunker contents. The material is now stored in the remaining transport wagons. When the emptied part of the transport train returns, the material column, which has meanwhile accumulated in the remaining wagons, is transferred to the emptied transport wagons, as shown schematically in FIG. 3.

Unter Einsparung eines die beiden Drehgestelle 15 und 16 direkt verbindenden tragenden Rahmens ist beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel des neuerungsgemäßen Transportwaggons der Rahmen 23 im mittleren, im wesentlichen zwischen den beiden Drehgestellen 15 und 16 liegenden Bereich des Transportwaggons hochgezogen und verläuft dort im Bereich des schräg nach oben liegenden Bunkers, der in diesem Bereich durch schräg nach oben verlaufende Verstärkungselemente 17 verstärkt ist, um die anfallenden Kräfte aufnehmen zu können. Die Krafteinleitung von den die Puffer 6 tragenden Rahmenteilen 18 bzw. 19, an denen die Drehgestelle 15 bzw. 16 gelagert sind, in den im mittleren Bereich versteiften Bunker erfolgt im wesentlichen über schräge Streben 20 bzw. 21 . Der Bunker weist neben den Verstärkungselementen 17 im mittleren Bereich über die Bunkerlänge verteilte, beabstandete Rungen auf, die mit den Seitenwänden 1 verbunden sind und, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, oben geschlossen sind. Diese Rungen können in den Endbereichen des Bunkers unterhalb des Bunkerbodens weiter nach unten gezogen sein und mit den Rahmenteilen 18 bzw. 19 verbunden sein.With the saving of a supporting frame that directly connects the two bogies 15 and 16, in the embodiment of the transport wagon according to the embodiment shown, the frame 23 is in the central region of the bogies 15 and 16, which is essentially between the two bogies Transport wagons pulled up and running there in the area of the obliquely upward bunker, which is reinforced in this area by reinforcing elements 17 running obliquely upward in order to be able to absorb the forces that arise. The force is introduced from the frame parts 18 and 19, which support the buffers 6 and on which the bogies 15 and 16 are mounted, into the stiffened bunker in the central region essentially via oblique struts 20 and 21. In addition to the reinforcement elements 17, the bunker has spaced-apart stanchions distributed over the length of the bunker in the central region, which are connected to the side walls 1 and, as can be seen from FIG. 2, are closed at the top. These stanchions can be pulled further down in the end regions of the bunker below the bunker floor and connected to the frame parts 18 and 19, respectively.

Der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Transportwaggon zeichnet sich durch einen einfachen gewichtsparenden Aufbau aus, der zusammen mit dem großen Bunkerinhalt ein günstiges Nutzlast-Totlastverhältnis ermöglicht.The transport wagon shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is characterized by a simple, weight-saving structure which, together with the large bunker content, enables a favorable payload / dead load ratio.

Der unter dem zwischen den Drehgestellen hochgezogenen Rahmenbereich 23 liegende Raum kann vorteilhaft ausgenutzt werden, um insbesondere einen Dieselmotor, eine Hydraulikeinrichtung, einen Brennstofftank, eine Bremsanlage und/oder eine Bedienungskabine (nicht näher dargestellt) unterzubringen.The space underneath the frame area 23 drawn up between the bogies can advantageously be used to accommodate in particular a diesel engine, a hydraulic device, a fuel tank, a brake system and / or an operating cabin (not shown in more detail).

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Beispielsweise können anstelle der beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel verwendeten Bandfördereinrichtung andere durchgehend verlaufende Fördereinrichtungen wie Kratzerkettenförderer, Stahlgliederbänder oder Schwingrinnen etc. verwendet werden. Unter "durchgehend verlaufend" werden also auch solche Fördereinrichtungen verstanden, bei denen das eigentliche Fördermittel aus einzelnen, untereinander verbundenen und gemeinsam angetriebenen Elementen besteht. Wesentlich ist aber, daß der erfindungsgemäße Transportwaggon ohne gesondertes übergabeband zur Materialübergabe an den Folgewaggon auskommt und damit konstruktiv einfach ist, und die volle Waggonlänge zur Materialbunkerung in der vollen lichten Höhe der Seitenwände ausnutzen kann.The invention is of course not limited to the illustrated embodiment. For example, instead of the embodiment shown used belt conveyor other continuous conveyors such as scraper chain conveyors, steel link belts or vibrating troughs etc. are used. “Continuous” is also understood to mean those conveying devices in which the actual conveying means consists of individual, interconnected and jointly driven elements. It is essential, however, that the transport wagon according to the invention manages without a separate transfer belt for the material transfer to the next wagon and is therefore structurally simple, and can use the full wagon length for material storage in the full clear height of the side walls.
