Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur spurstabilen Verlegung von mindestens drei in geringem Abstand voneinander verlegten Gleisen wie es gattungsmäßig im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschrieben ist.The invention relates to a method for track-stable laying of at least three tracks that are laid at a short distance from one another, as described in the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige, mit geringem veränderlichem Abstand voneinander verlegte Gleise kommen vornehmlich bei den an Weichen und Kreuzungen anschließenden Gleisabschnitten im Einfahrbereich von Bahnhöfen vor. Die Abstände (Gleisabstand abzüglich Spurweite) zwischen anliegenden Schienen der durchgehenden Stammgleise und des Verbindungs- bzw. Zweiggleises ändern sich dabei zwangsläufig zwischen einem maximalen Wert und dem Wert O. Von einem bestimmten minimalen Schienenabstand an ist die Anordnung von gesonderten Einzelschwellen für jedes Gleis nicht mehr möglich, da bei der verbleibenden Schwellenlänge der Randabstand für die ordnungsgemäße Anbringung der Schienenbefestigungsmittel nicht mehr ausreicht. Die Schwellen müssen dann mindestens in den Bereich zwischen den Schienen des anliegenden Verbindungsgleises hinein verlängert werden. Da die Schwellen auch der Sicherung der Spurweite dienen, kann eine Schwelle nicht zwischen den beiden Schienen eines Gleises getrennt werden, ohne daß zusätzliche Spurhaltungsmittel angebracht werden.Such tracks, which are laid at a slight variable distance from one another, occur primarily in the track sections adjoining switches and crossings in the entrance area of train stations. The distances (track distance minus track width) between adjacent rails of the continuous main track and the connecting or branch track inevitably change between a maximum value and the value O. From a certain minimum rail distance, the arrangement of separate individual thresholds for each track is no longer necessary possible because with the remaining sleeper length, the edge distance is no longer sufficient for the correct attachment of the rail fastening means. The sleepers must then be extended at least into the area between the rails of the adjacent connecting track. Since the thresholds also serve to secure the track gauge, a threshold cannot be separated between the two rails of a track without the need for additional tracking means.

Diese Spurhaltung wurde bisher erreicht, indem jede oder jede zweite Schwelle unter drei nebeneinanderliegenden Gleisen hindurchläuft. Nachteil dieser Lösung ist, daß sehr lange sehr aufwendig zu handhabende Schwellen erforderlich werden und zudem beim Einbau eines Verbindungs- oder Zweiggleises die beiden anliegenden Stammgleise stillgelegt werden müssen.
Aufgabe der Erfindung war, ein Verfahren zu entwickeln, das es zuläßt, die Schwellen so aufzuteilen und zu verlegen, daß die Länge der Schwellen auf weniger als die bei Weichenschwellen vorkommende maximale Länge begrenzt werden kann und beim Einbau eines Verbindungs- oder Zweiggleises nur jeweils eines der beiden Stammgleise stillgelegt zu werden braucht.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebene Verfahren zum Verlegen und Verbinden der Schwellen. In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens wird nach Unteranspruch 2 vorgeschlagen, im Bahnbetrieb anfallende übliche Oberbaumaterialien als spurhaltende Verbindungsmittel zu verwenden. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist unabhängig von dem Material, aus dem die Schwellen hergestellt sind (Beton, Stahl, Holz), anwendbar.
This tracking was previously achieved by running every or every second sleeper under three adjacent tracks. The disadvantage of this solution is that sleepers which are very difficult to handle are required for a very long time and, in addition, the two adjacent main tracks must be shut down when installing a connecting or branch track.
The object of the invention was to develop a method which allows the sleepers to be divided and laid in such a way that the length of the sleepers can be limited to less than the maximum length which occurs in turnout sleepers and only one when installing a connecting or branch track of the two main tracks needs to be shut down.
The object is achieved by the method for laying and connecting the sleepers specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. In an expedient embodiment of the method, it is proposed according to subclaim 2 to use customary superstructure materials which arise in railway operations as track-holding connecting means. The method according to the invention can be used regardless of the material from which the sleepers are made (concrete, steel, wood).

Die Erfindung wird durch die Fig. 1 bis 3 erläutert. Es zeigen:

die schematisch dargestellte Aufsicht auf erfindungsgemäß verlegte Schwellen unter zwei Stammgleisen und einem zwischen ihnen verlaufenden Verbindungsgleis.
Fig. 2 und 3

The invention is illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 3. Show it:
Fig. 1
the schematically illustrated supervision of sleepers laid according to the invention under two main tracks and a connecting track running between them.
2 and 3
the area between the rails of the connecting track with threshold joint and track-holding connecting means, Fig. 2 in view, Fig. 3 in supervision.

In einem Streckenabschnitt 1 verläuft zwischen den Stammgleisen 2 und 4 das Verbindungsgleis 3 mit sehr geringen variablen Abständen 5 bzw. 6 zu den Stammgleisen. Außerhalb des Bereiches 1 sind normale Gleisschwellen 7 oder unter zwei Gleisen durchlaufende Schwellen 8 verwendbar.In a section 1 the connecting track 3 runs between the main tracks 2 and 4 with very small variable distances 5 and 6 to the main tracks. Outside the area 1, normal track sleepers 7 or sleepers 8 running under two tracks can be used.

Im Bereich 1 werden die Schwellen 9, 10 zwischen den Schienen 3.1 und 3.2 des mittleren Verbindungsgleises 3 gestoßen, wobei aufeinanderfolgende Stöße 11 jeweils wechselnd seitlich zu einer zwischen den Schienen 3.1, 3.2 verlaufenden, zweckmäßig sich mit der Achse des Verbindungsgleises deckenden Achse 12 versetzt sind. Die drei Gleise 2, 3, 4 sind mit Schwellenpaaren aus ungleich langen Schwellen 9, 10 unterzogen, wobei jeweils eine kurze Schwelle 9.k+1, 10.k+2 auf eine lange Schwelle 9.k, 10.k+1 folgt und eine lange Schwelle 9.k jeweils einer kurzen Schwelle 10.k und eine kurze Schwelle 9.k+1 einer langen Schwelle 10.k+1 paarweise einander zugeordnet sind.
Die Stabilisierung der Spur des Gleises 3, zwischen dessen Schienen 3.1 und 3.2 jede Schwelle einen Stoß 11 aufweist, wird durch in Achse 12 zwischen den Schienen 3.1 und 3.2 des Verbindungsgleises 3 angeordnete Verbindungsmittel 13 erreicht. Die Verbindungsmittel 13 verbinden jeweils mindestens drei aufeinanderfolgende Köpfe 14 der sie unterschießenden längeren Schwellen 9.k, 9.k+2 und 10.k-1, 10.k+1 durch geeignete bekannte Mittel fest miteinander.
In area 1, the sleepers 9, 10 are pushed between the rails 3.1 and 3.2 of the middle connecting track 3, successive joints 11 being alternately offset laterally to an axis 12 running between the rails 3.1, 3.2, which expediently overlaps the axis of the connecting track . The three tracks 2, 3, 4 are subjected to threshold pairs of thresholds 9, 10 of different lengths, with a short threshold 9.k + 1, 10.k + 2 following a long threshold 9.k, 10.k + 1 and a long threshold 9.k are each associated with a short threshold 10.k and a short threshold 9.k + 1 with a long threshold 10.k + 1.
The stabilization of the track of the track 3, between the rails 3.1 and 3.2 of which each threshold has an impact 11, is achieved by connecting means 13 arranged in axis 12 between the rails 3.1 and 3.2 of the connecting track 3. The connecting means 13 each firmly connect at least three successive heads 14 of the longer thresholds 9.k, 9.k + 2 and 10.k-1, 10.k + 1 underneath them by suitable known means.

Ein Beispiel für derartige bekannte Verbindungsmittel 13 sind Riegel 16 aus Schienenabschnitten, die mit einem bahnüblichen Oberbaumaterial 15 - im Beispiel Rippenplatte, Hakenschraube, Spannklemme und Schwellenschraube - fest mit den Köpfen 14 der Schwellen verschraubt und verbunden sind.An example of such known connecting means 13 are bars 16 made of rail sections, which are firmly screwed and connected to the heads 14 of the sleepers using a track material 15 - in the example, ribbed plate, hook screw, tension clamp and sleeper screw.
