Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation for installing and replacing railway construction elements, such as track lengths and switches, as well as a method which can be carried out using the installation, according to preambles of claims 1 and 12 respectively.
  • EP-A-0 276 646 describes an installation which comprises, for the installation and the substitution of railroad elements of a considerable length, two gantry units and a certain number of auxiliary transport wagons. Given the complex and expensive structure of the gantries and their complicated handling, this installation has the drawback which has just been stated. In addition, since the gantry units must be transported using transport trolleys to the work site, these trolleys are heavy and large vehicles.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a method and an installation which no longer have the abovementioned drawbacks of the state of the art.
  • such an installation for laying and replacing elements of railway track constructions comprises a gantry for transport and lifting 1 and depending on the dimensions and size of the track element, a predetermined number of at least two lifting carriages, a number of devices 3 for lifting track elements , which also depends on the dimensions and size of the track element identified by 5.
  • the transport and lifting gantry 1 can move as well on the main track 4, using two pivoting undercarriages 6 and using four tracked carriages 7 whose position is variable in height.
  • This gantry is constructed in such a way that it is able to take and transport even bulky track elements, in a well-centered manner, such as switches whose geometry varies considerably in the longitudinal direction, particularly at the heart of device and ends. It can also be used as a push or pull vehicle for the installation when transporting the track element on the main track.
  • FIG. 1 which shows three different stages of the method according to the invention
  • the lifting devices 3 have two undercarriages 9, 10 allowing them to travel on the main track 4 or on auxiliary rails 11 which are placed in the area of the track construction site, laterally and at outside the main track 4.
  • the lifting carriages 2 can only travel on the main track 4.
  • the transport and lifting gantry 1 comprises a base frame 12 to which the two undercarriages 6 are articulated, the wheels of which are identified by 13, by means of devices 14
  • the base frame also carries the tracked carriages 7, adjustable in height.
  • the base frame 12 has a horizontal upper part which has essentially four rectangular profiled beams 16, arranged transversely to the track, in pairs. These beams are connected to each other at their ends by U-shaped beams 17, 18 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the track.
  • the four beams 16 are parallel to each other.
  • To each transverse external beam 16 of each pair is attached another U-shaped beam 19, shifted downward, in the extension of the longitudinal beams 17, 18.
  • each of these beams 24 is fixed in abutment under an internal transverse beam 16 in the longitudinal direction of the frame and carries at its lower end a transverse beam 22.
  • Each pair of these intermediate beams 24 is symmetrical to the longitudinal central line of the base frame and located at each wheel 13, so that the devices 13 provided for the pivoting of a running gear can be articulated to the intermediate beams 24 and to the transverse beams 22.
  • a closed channel 25 which has a rectangular cross section widening from the central transverse plane of the frame towards the two ends, along an angle ⁇ of for example 5 °.
  • This channel 24 is formed of sheets welded together and to the frame beams, like the sheets 26 of FIG. 6. All the connections existing between the profiles forming the base frame and the sheets are produced by welding. Thanks to the structure which has just been described and the assembly by welding, of the frame, the latter has great rigidity and capacity for resistance to torsion.
  • the closed rectangular channel serves as a guide device for a main longitudinal beam 24 with telescopic extension, comprising a central element 27 and, at each end, a telescopic element 28 which slides in this central element.
  • the central element 27 extends through the channel 25 and projects therefrom at each end.
  • the beam 27 is fixed respectively at 29 and 30 to the upper and lower walls of the channel so as to pivot around a vertical axis.
  • the pivoting angle of the telescopic beam 26 is therefore equal to the widening angle ⁇ of the channel 25.
  • the beam 26 is variable in length by hydraulic means.

  • the clamp 34 is mounted in the carriage 33 in an adjustable manner in height. It can pivot around its vertical axis by 180 ° so that it can take a rail from track 5 from both inside and outside.
  • the carriages 33 and the grippers 34 are hydraulically controlled.
  • each mobile telescopic beam 28 At the end of each mobile telescopic beam 28 is provided a beam 35 which carries a pair of clamps 36 suitable for taking from below and carrying the rails of a track element to be installed or replaced.
  • This beam 35 has the general shape of a U open towards the bottom, between the branches of which is fixed a vertically movable element 37.
  • a clamp 36 is supported in each lateral face of this element in a manner that can be moved transversely to the axis of the track.
  • a transverse hollow profiled beam 16 of each pair serves as a housing for a support frame 39 for two vertical telescopic load-lifting columns 40 located on one side of the base frame. Each of these columns is supported on one of the tracked carriages 7 mentioned above.
  • Each support frame 39 has a lower horizontal beam 41 oriented in the longitudinal direction of the track, a little above the transverse beams 16, and an upper beam 42 parallel to the beam 41. To these beams 41 and 42 which are connected between them by struts 43, are fixed the two guide elements 44 of the two load lifting columns 40.
  • each fixed element 44 At the lower part of each fixed element 44, a profile 45 with rectangular section is fixed laterally which is arranged transversely to the column axis and dimensioned in such a way that it can engage in one of the two hollow profiled beams 16 and slide axially in this beam, as clearly shown in FIG. 3. Thanks to this housing, the support frame 39 with the load lifting columns 40 retract or exit laterally and transversely from the two corresponding profiled beams 16. Each column 40 has an element 47 which slides in the guide element 44. This element 47 is supported on a tracked carriage 7.

  • the lifting tables can be controlled remotely.
  • the installation includes a transport and lifting gantry, three switch lifting devices 3 and five lifting carriages 2.
  • the transport and lifting gantry 1 moves after the entry of the track lock, coupled to the three lifting devices 3 and goes up on the switch to be removed. All the machines then take the planned position. The five lifting carriages are placed immediately in front of the switch to be removed so that it can be taken care of during the removal operation, as shown in Figure 1c. During the dismantling of the switch to be removed, cut at the ends, and of the signaling devices, as necessary, the transport and lifting gantry 1 as well as the lifting and switching devices 3 are brought into operation. working condition, that is to say that the tracked carriages 7 of the gantry 1 as well as the load lifting columns 62 with the wheel sets 66 are out.
  • the wheels 66 are then placed on the auxiliary rails 11 previously placed in front of the crosshead heads of the switch removed in the central area and from the tip of the needle.
  • the telescopic beam 26 of the gantry 1 is deployed and the clamps of this gantry are fixed on the switch.
  • the clamps 67 of the switch lifting gear 3 grip the rails of the switch from below and the latter is then lifted over its entire length up to 10 cm above the lifting carriages located in front of the cut.

They lift and carry the track element and push the wheels of the running gear 9 on the rails of track elements and thus lock the hoist during the lifting, lowering operation, and during transport on this track element. Due to the relatively large spacing of the wheels 66 of the undercarriages 10, stable support of the lifting device on the auxiliary rails is guaranteed.
  • the pivoting of the beam 65 that is to say the running gear 10, around the angle ⁇ , ensures stable support of the lifting machine by the four wheels 66 of the carriage 10 on the auxiliary track, even when moving on the ramps of the auxiliary track for example to pass from the main track in the cut, and in the presence of possible inequality on the auxiliary track. In addition, mechanical stresses are thus avoided in the lifting machine.
  • the relative mobility of the load lifting columns 62 in their entirety with respect to their guide cylinders 60 and the variable length of the telescopic columns 62 allow a long stroke of the lifting gear.
  • the lifting of a track construction element can be carried out in two stages. First of all, the base frame 56 with the transverse beam 57 is raised by the action of the jacks 61 and the lifting operation then continues by taking the column elements 64 out of the column elements 63.
  • the installation according to the invention requires only one gantry for transport and lifting. Additional gantries which were absolutely necessary in known installations are replaced, in accordance with the invention, by lifting devices 3.
  • the replacement of gantries of complex and expensive structure by relatively simple lifting devices makes the installation according to the invention infinitely more economical and simpler to use.
  • these simple structural lifting and handling devices can, for certain special uses where very expensive gantry cranes have hitherto been essential, replace these cranes.
  • the removal of the old switch, as well as the installation of the new switch, can be performed in 10 to 15 minutes by trained personnel.
  • the horizontal alignment of the switches can be controlled and guaranteed by an appropriate automatic adjustment of the position.
  • the tracked carriages of the gantry 1 are hydraulically controlled so that the base frames of the gantry are always at the same height and in the same plane.
  • a corresponding number of lifting carriages 2 and lifting gear 2 and lifting gear 3 is associated with a gantry 1. Thanks to the sliding lateral and selective lifting columns of the gantry 1 as well as lifting devices 3, and the selective movement of the rail clamps, we always manage to take exactly in the center and carry the track construction element.
  • the gantry cranes are designed to allow a free distance between the tracks of 5.35 or even 5.70 m. This distance makes it possible to pass with the switches between the load lifting columns or the tracked carriages and makes it possible to change the lateral position of the switch.
