Abstract

The system uses one or more trolleys (1) with wheels (6) for running along existing rails (3), crawler tracks (5) for travelling over the sleepers of existing rails, and arched supports (4) with adjustable side legs for the track section (2) being laid. Each arched support is independent of its trolley, and two track-laying trolleys used in conjunction are connected only by the track section being laid. Each trolley, which is operated by remote contol, also has a turntable (7) with a transverse plate wide enough to support at least one sleeper of the track section.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et dispositif de pose d'élément de voie par des lorries à chenilles.The present invention relates to a method and device for laying of track elements by tracked lorries.

Le secteur technique de l'invention est le domaine du transport, de la pose, de la dépose et/ou du remplacement, par tronçons préassemblés, de voies ferrées, d'aiguillage ou de croisements non démontés.The technical sector of the invention is the domain of transport, installation, removal and / or replacement, by preassembled, railway, switch or crosses not disassembled.

L'une des applications principales de l'invention est de pouvoir poser un élément de voie dans un emplacement prévu et préparé à l'avance dans l'axe d'une voie ferrée existante sur laquelle est amené ledit élément de voie par des moyens mobiles.One of the main applications of the invention is to ability to lay track element in intended location and prepared in advance along the axis of an existing railway on which said track element is brought in by mobile means.

On connaít pour cela de nombreux systèmes existant dont certains ont fait l'objet de dépôts de demandes de brevets et que l'on peut regrouper en trois familles différentes :

  • les systèmes les plus anciens comprennent d'une part un appareil mobile de type wagon portant l'élément de voie à poser ayant la même longueur que celui-ci et comprenant un support à chenilles à sa partie avant, pour rouler et amener, dans l'emplacement prévu, cet élément (l'arrière de l'appareil mobile restant sur la voie d'amenée), et d'autre part des portiques fixes pré-installés sur au moins un coté de cet emplacement pour soulever l'élément de voie de l'appareil mobile qui peut alors se dégager, l'élément de voie étant alors déposé par lesdits portiques : de tels systèmes sont décrits par exemple dans le brevet FR 2 314 299 publié le 7/01/77 et déposé par la Société PROFIMEX, ou encore dans la demande de brevet suisse 658-085 de la Société MATISA MATERIEL ;
  • un autre type de système comprend un wagon de type "standard" apte à transporter l'ensemble des éléments permettant la pose de l'élément de voie, composés de portiques montés sur des chenilles et supportant ledit élément de voie ; quand le wagon d'amené arrive près de l'emplacement prévu, on écarte alors les chenilles des portiques pour qu'elles viennent s'appuyer et rouler sur le sol de part et d'autre du wagon d'amené (les portiques soulevant l'élément de voie au dessus de celui-ci), jusqu'à son emplacement de dépose où il est descendu par lesdits portiques : de tels systèmes sont décrits par exemple dans la demande de brevet W094/26978 publiée le 24/11/94 et déposée par la Société finlandaise SINÖÖRITOIMISTO DESEC OY ;
  • enfin d'autres systèmes ont été développés en reprenant et combinant les techniques et les dispositifs des deux systèmes précédents dans le but sans doute de réduire les dispositifs mécaniques de mise en oeuvre, en particulier des chenilles comme dans les deuxièmes systèmes ci-dessus, tout en séparant leur fonction de celle des portiques qui restent cependant préfixés à l'élément de voie et amenées avec celui-ci ; c'est alors le wagon de transport situé en dessous de l'élément de voie qui comporte des chenilles pour pouvoir rouler dans l'emplacement de pose mais celles-ci sont situées dans l'axe du wagon comme dans les premiers systèmes ci-dessus, ne nécessitant pas alors un grand débord latéral de part et d'autre de la voie pour leur mise en oeuvre contrairement au deuxième système précédent, mais représentant un porte à faux axial important. De tels systèmes sont décrits par exemple dans le brevet US 4 773 332 délivré le 27/09/88 pour la Société autrichienne FRANZ PLASSER.
We know for this many existing systems, some of which have been the subject of patent applications and that can be grouped into three different families:
  • the oldest systems include, on the one hand, a wagon-type mobile device carrying the track element to be laid having the same length as the latter and comprising a track support at its front part, for rolling and bringing in the '' planned location, this element (the rear of the mobile device remaining on the supply track), and on the other hand fixed gantries pre-installed on at least one side of this location to lift the track element from the mobile device which can then be released, the track element then being deposited by said gantry cranes: such systems are described for example in patent FR 2 314 299 published on 7/01/77 and deposited by the company PROFIMEX , or in Swiss patent application 658-085 from the MATISA MATERIEL Company;
  • another type of system comprises a "standard" type wagon capable of transporting all of the elements allowing the laying of the track element, composed of gantries mounted on tracks and supporting said track element; when the feed wagon arrives near the planned location, the tracks of the gantry cranes are moved aside so that they come to rest and roll on the ground on either side of the feed wagon (the gantries lifting the 'track element above it), to its drop-off location where it is lowered by said gantry cranes: such systems are described for example in patent application WO94 / 26978 published on 24/11/94 and registered by the Finnish Company SINÖÖRITOIMISTO DESEC OY;
  • Finally, other systems have been developed by taking up and combining the techniques and the devices of the two preceding systems with the undoubtedly aim of reducing the mechanical devices of implementation, in particular of the tracks as in the second systems above, all by separating their function from that of the gantry cranes which remain however prefixed to the track element and brought with it; it is then the transport wagon located below the track element which has tracks to be able to roll in the installation location but these are located in the axis of the wagon as in the first systems above , then not requiring a large lateral overhang on either side of the track for their implementation unlike the second previous system, but representing a significant axial overhang. Such systems are described for example in US patent 4,773,332 issued on 09/27/88 for the Austrian company FRANZ PLASSER.

Ces trois familles de systèmes, comme on peut le noter dans les descriptions des demandes de brevet citées précédent, auxquelles on peut se référer pour avoir l'explication complète des principes résumés ci-dessus, correspondent à des dispositifs assez lourds malgré les développements des nouveaux systèmes ci-dessus : comportent en effet tout au moins un appareil qui supporte une grande partie de l'élément de voie à poser, soit par dessous, soit par dessus, avec des systèmes de déplacement à chenilles nécessitant des dispositifs mécaniques lourds que se soit vers l'avant en porte à faux ou en latéral à grand débordement : ils sont dans tous les cas encombrants et donc coûteux, de mise en place complexe et limités souvent à quelques types d'éléments de voie d'une longueur donnée.These three families of systems, as can be noted in descriptions of the patent applications cited above, to which we can refer for a full explanation of the principles summarized above, correspond to fairly heavy devices despite the developments of the above new systems: indeed have at least one device which supports a large part of the track element to be laid, either from below or by above, with tracked displacement systems requiring heavy mechanical devices whether forward in door to false or sideways with a large overflow: they are in all cases bulky and therefore expensive, complex and limited to set up often to a few types of track elements of a given length.

Le problème posé est de pouvoir réaliser un dispositif avec des éléments mobiles qui soient les plus "légers" et simplifiés possibles, transportables eux-mêmes dans un gabarit routier standard, aptes à s'adapter à tout type d'élément de voie tant en longueur qu'en largeur, permettant une grande adaptabilité et suivant une mise en oeuvre qui soit fiable et contrôlable à tout moment sans risque pour le personnel.The problem is to be able to make a device with mobile elements which are as "light" and simplified as possible, transportable themselves in a standard road gauge, suitable for adapt to any type of track element both in length and width, allowing great adaptability and following a layout work that is reliable and controllable at all times without risk to the staff.

Une solution au problème posé est un procédé de pose d'élément de voie ferrée avec son dispositif correspondant comprenant au moins, comme dans les systèmes connus, un véhicule autopropulsé comportant au moins deux paires de roues aptes à déplacer le véhicule sur les rails d'une voie d'amenée située dans l'axe de l'emplacement où doit être déposé ledit élément de voie, au moins une paire de chenilles relevables à partir du châssis dudit véhicule et apte à le déplacer sur le sol et une table supérieure apte à supporter au moins une partie dudit élément de voie, ainsi qu'au moins un portique fixé au dessus de l'élément de voie et comportant au moins une paire de jambes d'appui latérales apte à se déplacer verticalement et à soulever ledit élément de voie par appui sur le sol.A solution to the problem posed is a method of installation of railway element with its corresponding device comprising at least, as in known systems, a vehicle self-propelled comprising at least two pairs of wheels suitable for move the vehicle on the rails of a driveway located in the axis of the location where said track element is to be deposited, at at least one pair of tracks that can be lifted from the chassis of the said chassis vehicle and able to move it on the ground and a suitable upper table to support at least part of said track element, as well as less a gantry fixed above the track element and comprising at least one pair of lateral support legs able to move vertically and to lift said track element by pressing on the ground.

Selon l'invention ledit véhicule et ledit portique sont indépendants l'un de l'autre et le dispositif comporte au moins deux véhicules compacts et reliés seulement par l'élément de voie, chaque véhicule comportant une paire de chenilles disposées latéralement à l'extérieur des roues.According to the invention said vehicle and said gantry are independent of each other and the device comprises at least two compact vehicles connected only by the track element, each vehicle comprising a pair of tracks arranged laterally at outside the wheels.

Différents modes préférentiels de réalisation sont précisés ci-après dans le cadre de la description des figures, de même que les procédés de pose que permet la présente invention. Chaque véhicule autopropulsé, disposant des caractéristiques ci-dessus selon l'invention, avec une seule paire de chenilles latérales, est d'un encombrement extérieur compact, avec une largeur de l'ordre d'un mètre supérieur à celle de la largeur de la voie d'amené et d'une longueur inférieure au double de sa largeurDifferent preferred embodiments are specified below in the context of the description of the figures, as well as the laying methods that allows the present invention. Each vehicle self-propelled, having the above characteristics according to the invention, with a single pair of side tracks, is of a compact external dimensions, with a width of around one meter greater than that of the width of the driveway and a length less than twice its width

Le résultat est un nouveau dispositif et procédé de pose d'élément de voie par des lorries à chenilles permettant d'atteindre l'objectif précédent sans avoir les inconvénients des dispositifs actuels.The result is a new installation device and method track element by tracked lorries to reach the previous objective without having the disadvantages of the devices current.

En effet et en particulier, la capacité de chaque véhicule lui permet d'être facilement transportable en lui même et de ne pas comporter de dispositif mécanique lourd, puisque les bras de levier supports de chenille par rapport à la charge sont réduits, diminuant ainsi les moments de flexion. Suivant le type d'élément de voie à transporter, on peut également multiplier le nombre de lorries, ou véhicules autopropulsés selon l'invention, en les répartissant sous la charge quel que soit la longueur de celle-ci et en assurant leur coordination par un système de télécommande, qui de plus assure le déroulement de l'opération en toute sécurité pour le personnel.Indeed and in particular, the capacity of each vehicle allows to be easily transportable in itself and not to be heavy mechanical, since the lever arms track supports relative to the load are reduced, decreasing so the bending moments. Depending on the type of track element to transport, we can also multiply the number of lorries, or self-propelled vehicles according to the invention, by distributing them under the charge regardless of the length thereof and ensuring their coordination by a remote control system, which also ensures safe operation for staff.

La description des dessins et figures ci-après représentent un exemple de réalisation de l'invention mais n'ont aucun caractère limitatif, d'autres réalisations sont possibles dans le cadre de la portée et de l'étendue de cette invention en particulier en utilisant différents types de portiques. The description of the drawings and figures below represents a example of embodiment of the invention but have no character limiting, other embodiments are possible within the framework of the scope and extent of this invention in particular using different types of gantries.

La figure 1 est une vue latérale d'une partie d'un dispositif selon l'invention disposé sur une voie d'amenée et portant un élément de voie à poser.Figure 1 is a side view of part of a device according to the invention arranged on a supply path and carrying a track element to be laid.

La figure 2 est une vue de face d'un lorry selon l'invention pouvant porter un élément de voie en position de roulement sur la voie d'amenée.Figure 2 is a front view of a lorry according to the invention can carry a track element in the rolling position on the driveway.

La figure 3 est une vue de face du même lorry que la figure 2 en position de déplacement dans l'emplacement où l'on doit poser l'élément de voie.Figure 3 is a front view of the same lorry as Figure 2 in position of displacement in the place where one must pose the track element.

La figure 4 est une vue de profil du même dispositif que la figure 1 suivant un premier procédé de mise en place de l'élément de voie dans l'emplacement voulu.Figure 4 is a side view of the same device as the Figure 1 according to a first method of placing the element lane in the desired location.

La figure 5 est une autre vue de coté du dispositif de la figure 1 suivant un deuxième procédé de mise en place de l'élément de voie.Figure 5 is another side view of the device of Figure 1 according to a second method of placing the element of way.

Comme déjà indiqué précédemment le dispositif de pose de l'élément de voie 2 comprend d'une manière connue :

  • au moins un véhicule 1 autopropulsé comportant au moins deux paires de roues 6 aptes à déplacer le véhicule sur les rails 3 d'une voie d'amenée située dans l'axe de l'emplacement 10 où doit être déposé ledit élément de voie 2, au moins une paire de chenilles 5 relevable à partir du châssis 12 dudit véhicule et apte à le déplacer sur le sol 16 et une table supérieure 7 dite de ripage, apte à supporter au moins une partie dudit élément de voie 2,
  • au moins un portique 4 fixé au dessus de l'élément de voie 2 et comportant au moins une paire de jambes d'appui latérales 13 aptes à se déplacer verticalement et à soulever ledit élément de voie 2 par appui sur le sol 16.
As already indicated above, the device for installing the track element 2 comprises in a known manner:
  • at least one self-propelled vehicle 1 comprising at least two pairs of wheels 6 capable of moving the vehicle on the rails 3 of a supply track located in the axis of the location 10 where said track element 2 is to be deposited, at least one pair of tracks 5 which can be lifted from the chassis 12 of said vehicle and able to move it on the ground 16 and an upper table 7 called shifting table, capable of supporting at least part of said track element 2,
  • at least one gantry 4 fixed above the track element 2 and comprising at least one pair of lateral support legs 13 able to move vertically and to lift said track element 2 by pressing on the ground 16.

Selon l'invention ledit véhicule 1 et ledit portique 4 sont indépendants l'un de l'autre et le dispositif comporte au moins deux véhicules 1 compacts et reliés seulement par l'élément de voie 2 chaque véhicule 1 comportant une paire de chenilles 5 disposées latéralement de par et d'autre du châssis 12 à l'extérieur des roues 6.According to the invention said vehicle 1 and said gantry 4 are independent of each other and the device comprises at least two vehicles 1 compact and connected only by track element 2 each vehicle 1 comprising a pair of tracks 5 arranged laterally on either side of the chassis 12 outside the wheels 6.

Tel qu'on peut le noter sur les figures 1, 4 et 5, la table supérieure 7 du véhicule 1 est composée de préférence d'une platine centrale transversale de largeur suffisante pour supporter au moins une traverse 82 de l'élément de voie 2 qui est guidé et maintenu sur ladite platine ente des rebords avant et arrière de sa surface supérieure ; de plus ladite platine centrale est monté sur un bras vertical 15 apte à pivoter selon son axe ZZ' comme représenté sur la figure 2 afin en particulier de pouvoir suivre des courbes de la voie d'amenée puisque l'élément de voie à poser est porté par au moins deux véhicules 1 autopropulsés circulant sur ladite voie d'amenée.As can be noted in Figures 1, 4 and 5, the upper table 7 of the vehicle 1 is preferably composed of a transverse central plate of sufficient width to support at least one cross member 8 2 of the track element 2 which is guided and held on said plate between front and rear edges of its upper surface; further said central plate is mounted on a vertical arm 15 adapted to pivot along its axis ZZ 'as shown in Figure 2 so in particular to be able to follow curves of the supply path since the track element to be laid is carried by at least two self-propelled vehicles 1 circulating on said supply path.

Pour un entraxe de rails 3 de voie standard de l'ordre de l2 = 1700 mm environ, la largeur extérieure l1 hors tout des chenilles 5 est de l'ordre de 2700 mm maximum ; la largeur des chenilles l3 est pour cela de l'ordre de 450 mm et lesdites chenilles sont alors placées très proches desdits rails de la voie d'amenée 3 et prennent appui en position basse au niveau du sol de référence 91 correspondant au dessus des traverses 81 support de ces rails 3.For a center distance of rails 3 of standard track of the order of l 2 = approximately 1700 mm, the external width l 1 overall of the tracks 5 is of the order of 2700 mm maximum; the width of the tracks l 3 is for this of the order of 450 mm and said tracks are then placed very close to said rails of the supply path 3 and bear in low position at the reference ground level 9 1 corresponding to the top sleepers 8 1 support for these rails 3.

Pour permettre au véhicule 1 selon l'invention de se déplacer dans l'emplacement ou excavation 10 préparé dans l'axe de la voie d'amenée 3 pour recevoir l'élément de voie 2, tout en maintenant celui-ci à une même hauteur par rapport à la voie d'amenée, (puisque ledit élément étant nécessairement porté par au moins deux véhicules 1, l'un peut être encore sur la voie quand le premier est déjà descendu dans l'emplacement 10), la course verticale de déplacement de la paire de chenilles 5 est au moins égale à la hauteur h2 de la voie qui est la somme de la hauteur des traverses 81 supports de voie 3 et de celle des rails 3 de celle-ci ; le fond 92 de l'excavation 10 de profondeur P et devant recevoir l'élément de voie 2 est en effet au moins au niveau de la surface d'appui inférieure des traverses 81. To allow the vehicle 1 according to the invention to move in the location or excavation 10 prepared in the axis of the supply track 3 to receive the track element 2, while maintaining it at the same height relative to the supply track, (since said element being necessarily carried by at least two vehicles 1, one may still be on the track when the first has already descended into location 10), the vertical displacement course of the pair of tracks 5 is at least equal to the height h 2 of the track which is the sum of the height of the sleepers 8 1 track supports 3 and that of the rails 3 thereof; the bottom 9 2 of the excavation 10 of depth P and having to receive the track element 2 is in fact at least at the level of the lower bearing surface of the crosspieces 8 1.

Suivant les caractéristique spécifiques ci-dessus du véhicule 1, sa hauteur h1 au dessus du sol de référence 91 est alors de l'ordre de 1020 mm avec une longueur L de 4230 mm, avec préférentiellement une course verticale de déplacement des chenilles plus importante que celle indiquée précédemment à savoir d + p = 580 mm pour une hauteur de chenille de l'ordre de 660 mm ; cette course peut être assurée par des vérins hydrauliques.According to the above specific characteristics of the vehicle 1, its height h 1 above the reference ground 9 1 is then of the order of 1020 mm with a length L of 4230 mm, preferably with a vertical travel movement of the tracks more important than that indicated above, namely d + p = 580 mm for a track height of the order of 660 mm; this stroke can be ensured by hydraulic cylinders.

Un tel lorry ou véhicule 1 autopropulsé peut être motorisé par un moteur thermique de type diesel insonorisé accouplé à une transmission hydrostatique lui permettant de disposer en permanence du maximum de sa puissance de l'ordre de 60 CV, et de se déplacer par entrainement hydraulique des chenilles par exemple à vide à 6KM/h et à 3KM/h avec une charge de 20 tonnes. Afin de synchroniser cette motorisation, les mouvements des chenilles 5 et de la table de ripage 7, ledit véhicule selon l'invention est équipé d'un système de radio commande, et cela d'autant plus quand il y a non seulement deux véhicules 1 support d'un même élément de voie 2, mais éventuellement plusieurs quand la longueur de celui-ci l'exige. L'équipement standard de radio commande peut comprendre un émetteur pour sept récepteurs avec la possibilité de sélectionner de un à sept lorries suivant les besoins ; les lorries peuvent être positionnés dans n'importe quel ordre toujours dans le même sens que la marche : pour faciliter leur repérage, chaque lorry peut alors être équipé d'un boítier à sept interrupteurs permettant de lui attribuer un numéro d'ordre de un à sept. La radio commande est proportionnelle afin de contrôler en permanence la vitesse de déplacement, et commande également le freinage hydrostatique : le système de freinage négatif permet d'immobiliser le lorry dès que sa commande n'est plus actionnée ou en cas de problème mécanique. De tels lorries 1 peuvent être également défreinés manuellement et remorquées et sont de préférence équipés d'une pompe manuelle de secours afin de pouvoir les dégager manuellement en cas de panne.Such a lorry or self-propelled vehicle 1 can be motorized by a soundproof diesel type heat engine coupled to a hydrostatic transmission allowing it to have permanence of the maximum of its power of the order of 60 CV, and move by hydraulic drive of the tracks for example empty at 6KM / h and 3KM / h with a load of 20 tonnes. In order to synchronize this motorization, the movements of the tracks 5 and of the shifting table 7, said vehicle according to the invention is equipped of a radio control system, and even more so when there is not only two vehicles 1 support of the same track element 2, but possibly several when the length thereof requires it. Standard radio control equipment may include one transmitter for seven receivers with the possibility of selecting from one to seven lorries as needed; lorries can be positioned in any order always in the same direction than walking: to facilitate their location, each lorry can then be equipped with a box with seven switches allowing it assign a serial number from one to seven. The radio control is proportional in order to continuously control the speed of displacement, and also controls hydrostatic braking: the negative braking system makes it possible to immobilize the lorry as soon as its control is no longer actuated or in the event of a mechanical problem. Such lorries 1 can also be unlocked manually and towed and are preferably fitted with a manual pump emergency in order to be able to release them manually in the event of a breakdown.

Les portiques 4 qui sont fixés et peuvent circuler sur l'élément de voie 2 qu'ils manutentionnent peuvent être mis sur celui-ci avec une grue ou n'importe engin de levage : ils sont disposés suivant les spécifications de manutention du constructeur de l'appareil et peuvent être de tout type. Généralement pour un élément de voie standard avec des traverse 82 en bois, la distance entre deux portiques ne devrait pas dépasser 12 m comme dureste entre deux lorries 1 alors qu'avec des traverses en béton, la position sera plutôt de 8 m environ.The gantry cranes 4 which are fixed and can circulate on the track element 2 which they handle can be put on it with a crane or any lifting machine: they are arranged according to the handling specifications of the manufacturer of the and can be of any type. Generally for a standard track element with wooden sleepers 8 2 , the distance between two gantries should not exceed 12 m as dureste between two lorries 1 while with concrete sleepers, the position will be rather about 8 m.

Lorsque le portique 4 est positionné sur l'élément de voie 2, il est fixé à celui-ci grâce à ses pinces hydrauliques 14 : une chaíne de sécurité passant sous le rail de l'élément de voie pallie à tout risque de problème pendant les opérations ; les commandes de mise en place de ces portiques 4 sont effectués manuellement afin d'éviter tout risque de fausse manoeuvre. Ces portiques permettent un débattement latéral par ripage grâce à un système à coulisse écartant et éloignant les jambes d'appui 13 les unes des autres, et peuvent donc servir à monter l'élément de voie 2 sur les lorries 1 ; toutes les opérations nécessitant une simultanéité entre les divers portiques peuvent être effectuées d'une manière radio-télécommandée comme pour le déplacement simultané des lorries 1.When the gantry 4 is positioned on the track element 2, it is fixed to it thanks to its hydraulic clamps 14: a chain of safety passing under the rail of the track element overcomes any risk problem during operations; set commands instead of these gantries 4 are done manually to avoid any risk of false operation. These gantries allow a lateral displacement by sliding thanks to a sliding system and moving the support legs 13 away from each other, and can therefore used to mount the track element 2 on the lorries 1; all the operations requiring simultaneity between the various gantry cranes can be carried out in a radio-controlled manner as for simultaneous movement of lorries 1.

Suivant l'invention et comme déjà indiqué ci-dessus, compte tenu de la compacité des lorries 1 à chenilles selon l'invention, comportant une table de ripage 7 supportant une seule traverse 8 de l'élément de voie 2, on pose celui-ci par tout moyen de levage sur au moins deux véhicules 1 qui comportent une paire de chenilles 5 relevées et disposées latéralement à l'extérieur des roues 6 ; on fixe au dessus de l'élément de voie 2 au moins deux portiques 4 indépendants des véhicules 1 comme indiqué ci-dessus.According to the invention and as already indicated above, account given the compactness of the tracked lorries 1 according to the invention, comprising a shift table 7 supporting a single cross member 8 of track element 2, this is placed by any lifting means on at least two vehicles 1 which have a pair of tracks 5 raised and arranged laterally outside the wheels 6; we fix above the track element 2 at least two gantries 4 independent of vehicles 1 as indicated above.

Ensuite, une fois ledit élément de voie 2 positionné sur ces lorries 1 avec lesdits portiques 4 comme représenté sur la figure 1, deux procédés de pose sont alors possibles.Then, once said track element 2 positioned on these lorries 1 with said gantries 4 as shown in FIG. 1, two laying methods are then possible.

Le premier est illustré sur la figure 4 et tel que :

  • on avance l'ensemble portant l'élément de voie 2 vers l'emplacement 10 préparé dans l'axe de la voie d'amenée 3 en roulant sur celle-ci,
  • à proximité de cet emplacement 10, on descend les chenilles 5 jusqu'à prendre appui sur les traverses 81 de la voie 3 et soulèver les roues du véhicule 1 au dessus de celle-ci,
  • on descend alors le premier véhicule 1 puis au fur et à mesure les suivants dans l'emplacement 10 en maintenant quasi constante la hauteur h1 de leur table supérieur 7 par rapport aux traverses 81, en déplaçant verticalement au moins les chenilles 5.
The first is illustrated in Figure 4 and such that:
  • the assembly carrying the track element 2 is advanced towards the location 10 prepared in the axis of the supply track 3 by rolling on it,
  • near this location 10, the tracks 5 are lowered until they bear on the crosspieces 8 1 of the track 3 and lift the wheels of the vehicle 1 above it,
  • the first vehicle 1 is then lowered, then progressively the following vehicles in location 10 while keeping the height h 1 of their upper table 7 relatively constant with respect to the crosspieces 8 1 , by vertically moving at least the tracks 5.

Suivant un deuxième procédé illustré sur la figure 5 :

  • on dispose à l'extrémité au dessus de l'emplacement 10 deux rampes 11 provisoires de mise en place dans l'axe des rails de la voie d'amenée 3,
  • on avance l'ensemble, portant l'élément de voie 2, vers l'emplacement 10 en roulant sur la voie d'amenée 3 jusqu'à ce que le premier véhicule 1 roule et soit situé sur les rampes 11 provisoires,
  • on descend les chenilles 5 de ce premier véhicule 1 jusqu'au fond de l'emplacement 10 et de part et d'autre des rampes provisoires 11, puis on soulève les roues de ce premier véhicule au dessus des rampes provisoires 11
  • on continue à avancer l'ensemble, d'une part porté par les chenilles 5 du premier véhicule et d'autre part par les roues 6 des véhicules suivants, jusqu'à répéter l'opération pour ceux-ci.
According to a second method illustrated in FIG. 5:
  • there are at the end above the location 10 two temporary ramps 11 for positioning in the axis of the rails of the supply path 3,
  • the assembly is carried forward, carrying the track element 2, towards location 10 by driving on the supply track 3 until the first vehicle 1 is traveling and is located on the temporary ramps 11,
  • the tracks 5 of this first vehicle 1 are lowered to the bottom of the location 10 and on either side of the temporary ramps 11, then the wheels of this first vehicle are raised above the temporary ramps 11
  • the assembly is continued to advance, on the one hand carried by the tracks 5 of the first vehicle and on the other hand by the wheels 6 of the following vehicles, until repeating the operation for these.

Quel que soit le procédé de pose décrit ci-dessus, quand l'ensemble de l'élément de voie 2 est disposé ainsi au dessus de son emplacement 10, on descend les jambes d'appui 13 des portiques 4 pour prendre en charge l'élément de voie 2, on dégage alors les tables d'appui supérieures 7 des véhicules 1 et dans le procédé de pose suivant la figure 5, on doit enlever également les rampes provisoires 11 ; puis dans tous les cas on évacue les véhicules 1, soit dans l'axe de la voie 2 si c'est possible soit en les faisant tourner latéralement, et l'on dépose les éléments de voie 2 dans son emplacement 10 par les portiques 4.Whatever the installation process described above, when the whole of the track element 2 is thus disposed above its location 10, the support legs 13 are lowered from the gantries 4 to take charge of track element 2, the upper support tables 7 of vehicles 1 and in the process of pose according to figure 5, one must also remove the ramps provisional 11; then in all cases we evacuate vehicles 1, that is in the axis of track 2 if possible either by rotating them laterally, and the track elements 2 are deposited in its location 10 by gantries 4.

Suivant le procédé illustré sur la figure 4 quand le véhicule 1 descend dans l'emplacement 10 on le fait s'incliner et on maintient l'élément de voie 2 par simple appui pivotant de l'une de ses traverses 82 sur la table d'appui et de ripage 7 transversale du véhicule 1.According to the method illustrated in Figure 4 when the vehicle 1 descends into location 10 it is tilted and the track element 2 is maintained by simple pivoting support of one of its crosspieces 8 2 on the table d 'transverse support and shifting 7 of the vehicle 1.
