Abstract

The invention relates to a line-changing device for the tracks (1) of a magnetic levitation train. The tracks (1) are formed by track supports (4) arranged one after the other and can be connected with each other. To connect the tracks a track support (4) configured as a bendable support (5) is positioned along each track which can be bent to establish a connection between the tracks (1). In its bent state each bendable support (5) can be positioned in relation to the other bendable support (5). Along each track a connecting support (6) is arranged next to the bendable support (5), which connecting support can be moved out of the clearance gauge of the train so as to create a distance required for the train to pass across the rail joint embodied by the bendable supports (5). The invention consists of the fact that the connecting supports (6) can be bent so as to form a second rail joint and that the bendable supports (5) can be moved out of the clearance gauge of the train when the rail joint is established by means of the connecting supports (6).

Description

Spurwechseleinrichtung für Fahrwege einer Magnetschwebebahn Lane changing device for guideways of a magnetic levitation railway
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spurwechseleinrichtung für Fahrwege einer Magnetschwebebahn gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lane changing device for guideways of a magnetic levitation train according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zur Realisierung des Spurwechsels von einem Fahrweg auf den benachbarten ist es für Magnetschwebebahnen bekannt, im Bereich der zwischen den Fahrwegen zu schaffenden Gleisverbindung in jedem Fahrweg einen speziellen Fahrwegträger vorzusehen, der als einseitig eingespannteTo implement the lane change from one route to the next, it is known for magnetic levitation railways to provide a special track carrier in the area of the track connection to be created between the routes, which is clamped as one-sided
Stahlbiegeweiche ausgebildet ist. Diese Stahlbiegeweiche kann in Richtung des anderen Fahrweges und der dort angeordneten Stahlbiegeweiche gebogen werden. Das Biegen der Weichen erfolgt derart, daß ihre freien Enden fluchtend aufeinander ausgerichtet sind und der mittlere Bereich einem vorgegebenen Krümmungsverlauf folgt. Hierfür sind, über den mittleren Bereich bis zum Ende der Weiche verteilt, mehrere in horizontaler Richtung wirkende Verstellelemente und Fixier- eiemente vorgesehen, die auch miteinander zu einer Funktionseinheit kombiniert sein können.Steel bending point is formed. This steel bending point can be bent in the direction of the other route and the steel bending point arranged there. The points are bent in such a way that their free ends are aligned with one another and the central region follows a predetermined curvature. For this purpose, several adjustment elements and fixing elements, which act in the horizontal direction and are distributed over the middle area to the end of the switch, are provided, which can also be combined with one another to form a functional unit.
Des weiteren ist es bekannt, den auch als Biegelinie bezeichneten Krümmungsveriauf der Weiche durch gegen Widerlager wirkende Verschiebeeinheiten herzustellen.Furthermore, it is known to produce the curvature curve of the switch, also referred to as the bending line, by means of displacement units acting against abutments.
In der DE 44 16 819 A1 wird eine Gleisverbindung beschrieben, bei der von jedem Fahrweg ein Biegeträger in Richtung des anderen Fahrweges elastisch biegbar ist, deren biegbare Enden zur Bildung der Gleisverbindung zueinander fluchtend ausrichtbar sind, wobei der an das elastisch biegbare Ende des Biegeträgers angrenzende Träger von dem benachbarten Fahrweg weg nach außen elastisch biegbar ist.DE 44 16 819 A1 describes a track connection in which a bending beam can be elastically bent from each track in the direction of the other track, the bendable ends of which can be aligned in alignment with one another to form the track connection End of the bending beam adjacent beam is elastically bendable away from the adjacent track.
Hiermit wird ein Übergang zwischen den Fahrwegen auch für den Fall ermöglicht, daß der Abstand der Fahrwege weniger als das Doppelte des Lichtraumprofils der Fahrzeuge beträgt. Dem steht aber ein vergleichsweise hoher technischer Aufwand bei nicht erheblicher Reduzierung des Abstandes der Fahrwege gegenüber.This enables a transition between the travel routes even in the event that the distance between the travel routes is less than twice the clearance profile of the vehicles. However, this is offset by a comparatively high technical outlay with no significant reduction in the distance between the routes.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, mittels der eingangs beschriebenen Spurwechseleinrichtung einen Spurwechsel zwischen zwei eng benachbarten Fahrwegen einer Magnetschwebebahn mit vergleichsweise einfachen technischen Mitteln zu ermöglichen.The invention is therefore based on the object of enabling a lane change between two closely adjacent routes of a magnetic levitation train with comparatively simple technical means by means of the lane change device described at the beginning.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst, indem die Anschlußträger zur Bildung einer zweiten Gleisverbindung biegbar und die Biegeträger beim Aufbau der aus den Anschlußträgern gebildeten Gleisverbindung aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges verlagerbar sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the connection supports can be bent to form a second track connection and the bending supports can be displaced from the clearance profile of the vehicle when the track connection formed from the connection supports is built up.
Die Erfindung ist mit dem Vorteil verbunden, daß Fahrzeuge mit übereinstimmender Bewegungsrichtung unabhängig davon, welchen Fahrweg sie befahren, jeweils auf den benachbarten Fahrweg wechseln können.The invention is associated with the advantage that vehicles with the same direction of movement can switch to the adjacent route regardless of which route they are traveling on.
Bei der Anordnung von zwei erfindungsgemäßen Doppelgleisverbindungen in Reihe kann bei einer Entwicklungslänge von vier Biegeträgern von jeder Spur auf die andere und wieder zurück gewechselt werden. Nach der DE 44 16 819 A1 sind hierzu drei Gleisverbindungen erforderlich mit einer Entwicklungslänge von sechs Biegeträgern.If two double track connections according to the invention are arranged in series, it is possible to change from one track to the other and back again with a development length of four flexible beams. According to DE 44 16 819 A1, three track connections are required with a development length of six flexible beams.
In zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind in Abhängigkeit davon, ob die Gleisverbindung aus den Biegeträgern oder den Anschlußträgern gebildet wird, die Anschlußträger oder die Biegeträger verformungsfrei aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges verlagerbar und unterliegen damit keiner Verformungsbeanspruchung.In an expedient embodiment of the invention, depending on whether the track connection is formed from the bending beams or the connection beams, the Connection beams or the bending beams can be displaced from the clearance space of the vehicle without deformation and are therefore not subject to any deformation stress.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, die Anschlußträger oder dieIt is also advantageous to the connection carrier or
Biegeträger biegebeanspruchungsfrei aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges verlagern zu können. Damit wird eine wechselnde Biegebeanspruchung vermieden, so daß Materialermüdungen in den Trägern vergleichsweise gering gehalten werden können.To be able to move bending beams out of the clearance profile of the vehicle without stress. This avoids an alternating bending load, so that material fatigue in the beams can be kept comparatively low.
Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Anschlußträger oder die Biegeträger aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges geschwenkt oder gedreht, wobei die Dreh- oder Schwenkbewegung der Anschlußträger oder Biegeträger um eine vertikale Achse erfolgt.The connection carriers or the bending carriers are expediently pivoted or rotated out of the clearance profile of the vehicle, the rotational or pivoting movement of the connection carriers or bending carriers taking place about a vertical axis.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Anschlußträger und die Biegeträger auf einem Drehlager mit vertikaler Drehachse gelagert, das zum Aufbau der Gleisverbindung arretierbar ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, the connection beams and the bending beams are mounted on a pivot bearing with a vertical axis of rotation, which can be locked in order to set up the track connection.
Für die Drehung der Anschlußträger und Biegeträger aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges können ein oder mehrere horizontal wirkende Verstellelemente angeordnet sein.One or more horizontally acting adjustment elements can be arranged for the rotation of the connection beams and bending beams from the clearance profile of the vehicle.
Bevorzugt sind hierfür ein oder mehrere Funktionselemente einsetzbar, die auch an der Biegung der Träger zum Aufbau der Gleisverbindung beteiligt sind.For this purpose, one or more functional elements can preferably be used, which are also involved in the bending of the beams in order to establish the track connection.

Fahrwegträger 4 überfahren.Run over guideway 4.
Auf dem benachbarten Fahrweg 2 bewegt sich das Fahrzeug in Pfeilrichtung 7 über die genannten Fahrwegelemente in gleicher Reihenfolge. Jeder Fahrweg 1 , 2 des Doppelspurfahrweges kann natürlich in beiden Richtungen genutzt werden, wenn eine Gleisverbindung zum Überwechseln von einem Fahrweg auf den anderen nicht aufgebaut ist.On the adjacent route 2, the vehicle moves in the direction of arrow 7 over the route elements mentioned in the same order. Each route 1, 2 of the double-track route can of course be used in both directions if a track connection for changing over from one route to the other is not established.
Die Anschlußträger 6 und die Biegeträger 5 weisen fahrwegträgerseitig Drehlager 8 auf, die zum Aufbau einer Gleisverbindung durch die Anschlußträger 6 oder dieThe connection supports 6 and the bending supports 5 have pivot bearings 8 on the track support side, which are used to establish a track connection through the connection supports 6 or
Biegeträger 5 arretierbar sind. Des weiteren befinden sich an den freien Enden der nicht zum Aufbau einer Gleisverbindung genutzten Trägern Verstellelemente 9.Bending beams 5 can be locked. Furthermore, adjustment elements 9 are located at the free ends of the beams that are not used to establish a track connection.
Zur Herstellung einer Gleisverbindung werden gemäß Stellung I aus Fig. 2 die im Drehlager 8 arretierten und damit einseitig eingespannten Biegeträger 5 in den Freiraum zwischen den Fahrwegen mittels bekannter elektromechanischer Stellantriebe gebogen, die von außen horizontal gegen die Biegeträger 5 wirken. In gebogener Stellung werden die Biegeträger 5 durch die Stellantriebe und/oder Fixiereinrichtungen gehalten. Um einen ausreichenden seitlichen Abstand des die Gleisverbindung überfahrenden und den Fahrweg umgreifenden Fahrzeuges zu gewährleisten, werden die Anschlußträger 6 um Drehlager 8 durch ein oder mehrere Verstellelemente 9 je Anschlußträger 6 nach außen gedreht, ohne den Anschlußträger 6 zu verformen. Damit ist mit einfachen Mitteln ein für eine Überfahrt über die Gleisverbindung notwendiger Freiraum geschaffen und eine Beanspruchung des Anschlußträgers 6, wie sie bei einer Verformung desselben eintritt, vermieden worden.To establish a track connection, the bending supports 5 locked in the pivot bearing 8 and thus clamped on one side are bent into the space between the travel paths by means of known electromechanical actuators, which act horizontally against the bending supports 5 from the outside, according to position I from FIG. 2. In the bent position, the bending beams 5 are held by the actuators and / or fixing devices. In order to ensure a sufficient lateral spacing of the vehicle traversing the track connection and encompassing the travel path, the connection carriers 6 are rotated outwards about rotary bearings 8 by one or more adjusting elements 9 per connection carrier 6 without deforming the connection carrier 6. A space necessary for crossing over the track connection has thus been created with simple means and stress on the connection carrier 6, as occurs when the latter is deformed, has been avoided.
Bei der in Fig. 2, Stellung II, dargestellten Gleisverbindung sind die Anschlußträger 6 zur Bildung einer Gleisverbindung in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Fahrwegen 1 und 2 gebogen. Die fahrwegträgerseitig an den Anschlußträgern 6 angeordneten Drehlager 8 befinden sich dabei in Arretierungsposition. Die Biegeträger 5 sind hierbei um die Drehlager 8 durch Verstellelemente 9 aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges bewegt worden.In the track connection shown in FIG. 2, position II, the connection carriers 6 are bent to form a track connection into the space between the routes 1 and 2. The pivot bearings 8 arranged on the track support side on the connection supports 6 are in the locking position. The bending beams 5 have been moved around the pivot bearing 8 by adjusting elements 9 from the clearance profile of the vehicle.
Da die Anschlußträger 6 auch zur Bildung einer Gleisverbindung genutzt werden können und da des weiteren die Möglichkeit besteht, die Biegeträger 5 aus dem Lichtraumprofil des Fahrzeuges zu verlagern, kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Spurwechseleinrichtung auch eine gekreuzte Gleisverbindung realisiert werden, so wie sie aus den Stellungen I und II der betreffenden Träger hervorgeht. Since the connection beams 6 can also be used to form a track connection and since there is also the possibility of moving the bending beams 5 out of the clearance profile of the vehicle, a crossed track connection can also be realized with the lane changing device according to the invention, as is the case with the positions I and II of the institution concerned emerges.
