Definitions

the invention relates to a device in a switch, based on a moving device arranged springs for pressing a tongue against a stock rail and simultaneously pulling the other tongue off an opposing stock rail includes.
Such a clip means or clip tip closure is through DE-B-21 40 892 known. This is located between two fixed wing rails a movably mounted centerpiece tip - or stock rail - that to a carriage is assigned to both sides, which on a plate-shaped closure frame lie on. Locking pieces are mounted on each slide, between them each locking clips and a slide rod, which are used to snap the Heads of the locking clips has recesses. On the - stationary - locking frame are on the opposite side of the carriage with respect to the sled At the heart of the compression springs are provided, which protrude from the spring housing Bolts are coupled to the carriage. The compression springs are therefore only indirect here anodized on a movement device, namely via the bolt coupling with connected the sledge.
the tongue is attached by the clip the stock rail is clamped, while the adjacent middle fork lock Tongue pressed only with a certain force on the stock rail and the remote one Tongue is drawn to a groove width of 58 mm.
Spring rockers known. These are arranged in the sleeper compartment, i.e. the two Thresholds of a threshold compartment can only be stuffed on one side and by hand tamping. From the inside of the two thresholds of a threshold compartment there is neither one mechanical stuffing by hand possible.
the well-known spring rockers have further the disadvantage that they have only one or a maximum of two springs. At a If the single spring breaks, the spring rocker is completely inoperative. Similar it is the case with two existing springs and the breakage of one spring, since the only one remaining spring no longer apply the force required to switch the tongues can.
the invention has for its object a generic device for Moving tongues in switches without the disadvantages mentioned above and with create less effort.
the movement device as only arranged between the stock rails / tongues of the switch, is formed at least four adjustable spring assemblies having spring rocker and the spring assemblies can be rotated about a horizontal axis, in opposite operating positions are stored transhipment.
the The required minimum groove width of 58 mm is exactly adhered to, so that the wheel back of a bike without starting, which is particularly important at high speeds is, this groove area can pass. Because of the four spring packs applied high pressure forces - there is also the possibility of the movement device with six spring packs equip - fork and clamp means locks can be omitted.
a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the movement device is designed as a spring rocker and in the middle of a tandem spring package as well their left and right ends each have a spring assembly.
Every spring package consists of a spring cup, which is the actual one, arranged on a push rod Picks up spring.
the spring rocker is V-shaped. They are in the middle two spring packs next to each other; especially the tandem arrangement ensures that if one of the adjacent springs breaks, the Spring rocker remains functional.
the continue at the outer ends of the Spring packs articulated spring packs serve primarily to increase the forces to be applied.
the spring cups of the spring assemblies are advantageous in one Support frame stored because it is easily fixed with a threshold lets connect.
the outer ends of the spring rocker are connected to the slide rods the tongues of the switches. The spring rocker is moved by the Tongue with the help of a point motor, which is in the area of the tip of the tongue is arranged, switched.
Another embodiment of the invention provides that the slide rods toothing exhibit.
the tongues can be adjusted with these teeth Push rods connected. This makes it possible to compensate for manufacturing tolerances but especially depending on the position of the spring rocker in the Tongue device certain groove widths and certain tongue head thicknesses respective conditions, including the preload force of the springs, adapt.
the spring rocker according to the invention is advantageously installed in a box sleeper. As a result, their functionality can be maintained much better because the Spring rocker is protected against environmental influences and also the plug This box threshold is automatically carried out by a turnout tamping machine become. This reduces the maintenance effort and the susceptibility to failure of the Switch significantly reduced.
FIG. 1 shows a switch device 1 arranged in a box sleeper 2 shown.
the two stock rails 3, 4 are braced with the box sleeper 2.
a movement device in the form of a spring rocker 5 arranged in the middle of the box sleeper 2 .
the spring rocker 5 consists of a V-shaped profile Basic support element 6, the two side by side in the middle, via push rods 7 movably arranged spring assemblies 8, 9 in tandem arrangement (see FIG. 2) has, while outer spring assemblies 12, 13 at the ends 10, 11 of the V-shaped Support element 6 are arranged with their push rods 7.
the spring pots 14 the Springs 8, 9 and 12, 13 are rotatable about their horizontal axis 15 in one Support frame 16 mounted, which is screwed to the floor 17 of the box sleeper 2 (cf.
FIGS. 3 and 4 The pressure force of the spring assemblies 8, 9 and 12, 13 is over an adjusting nut 18 continuously adjustable between 50 N and 400 N.
On the outside Ends 10, 11 of the spring rocker 5 are by means of a screw-nut combination 19 further slide rods 20, 21 attached.
the removed from the spring rocker 5, other ends 22, 23 of the slide rods 20, 21 are with pressure pieces 24, 25 with Tongue clamp 26, 27, each with a tongue 28 resting against the stock rail 3 and a tongue 29 each pulled off the stock rail 4.
the slide rods 20, 21 each have one in the area of the pressure pieces 24, 25 Toothing 30, 31 on the tongue block 26, 27 on the slide rods 20, 21 are adjustable in a grid. This is done by loosening and lifting the Pressure pieces to put them back on the slide rod and to fix. This makes it possible, depending on the position of the spring rocker 5 in the Switch device 1 to comply with certain groove widths, but also certain Tongue head thicknesses to the respective conditions, such as the pretensioning force of the Spring assemblies 8, 9 and 12, 13 to adjust.
a standard tongue inspector 33 arranged, but depending on the spatial conditions also on the right in front of the head Box threshold 2 - as shown alternatively by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 1, 2 - can be arranged.
the tongue tester 33 is over two tie bars 34, 35 rigidly connected to top chords 36, 37 of box tie 2, and two Tongue test bars 38, 39 provide a mechanical connection from the tongue tester 33 to the two tongues 28, 29 (cf. also FIG. 2). With that the signaling monitoring of the two tongues 28, 29 safely ensured.
FIG. 5d shows how the spring assemblies 8, 9 and 12, 13 are complete are turned and thus on the one hand the tongue 29 with one with one Clamp closure press comparable force against the stock rail 4 and on the other hand, the tongue 28 by at least 58 mm from the left stock rail 3 pull away and hold securely in position.
