Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stopfmaschine mit einem gleisverfahrbaren, auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten und ein Stopfaggregat sowie ein Gleishebe-Richtaggregat aufweisenden Maschinenrahmen.The invention relates to a tamping machine with a track-movable, supported on rail bogies and a tamping unit and a track lifting straightening unit having machine frame.

Gemäß EP 0 436 757 B1 ist bereits eine Stopfmaschine zum Unterstopfen eines Gleises bekannt. Dem Stopfaggregat ist eine Schottertransportleitung zugeordnet, durch die neuer Schotter im Bereich des Stopfaggregates auf das Gleis abwerfbar ist. Damit können Gleisabschnitte mit zu geringer Einschotterung parallel zur Unterstopfung eingeschottert werden.According to EP 0 436 757 B1, a stuffing machine for underfilling a track is already known. The tamping unit is assigned to a gravel conveyor line, can be thrown by the new ballast in the tamping unit on the track. This track sections with too low ballast can be eingeschottert parallel to the Unterstopfung.

Durch US 5 611 403 bzw. GB 2 270 943 B sind Gleisbaumaschinen mit einer Schotterabsaugdüse zum Absaugen von Schotter aus dem Gleis bekannt.US 5 611 403 and GB 2 270 943 B disclose track-laying machines with a ballast suction nozzle for extracting ballast from the track.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer eingangs beschriebenen Stopfmaschine, mit der auch Gleisabschnitte mit unbrauchbaren Schotterverhältnissen optimal unterstopfbar sind.The object of the present invention is now to provide a tamping machine described above, with the track sections with unusable gravel ratios are optimally unteropfbar.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Stopfmaschine der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß dem Stopfaggregat eine durch Antriebe höhen- und querverstellbare, durch eine Absaugleitung mit einer Saugeinrichtung verbundene Schotterabsaugdüse zugeordnet ist und ein Schotterpflug sowie eine Entladeschurre zum Abwurf von Schotter vorgesehen sind.This object is achieved with a tamping machine of the generic type, characterized in that the tamping unit is a height adjustable by drives and Querverstellbare, connected by a suction with a suction device Schotterabsaugdüse and a ballast plow and a Entladeschurre are provided for the discharge of gravel.

Durch diese spezielle Kombination von Arbeitseinrichtungen besteht die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, für eine dauerhafte Unterstopfung unbrauchbaren Schotter eines Gleisabschnittes unmittelbar vor dem Stopfvorgang zu entfernen und durch neuen Schotter zu ersetzen. Dieser durch den Schotterpflug gleichmäßig auf das Gleis verteilbare neue Schotter kann anschließend sofort zur Schaffung einer dauerhaften Gleislage mit Hilfe des Stopfaggregates verdichtet werden. Von besonderem Vorteil ist aber auch, daß die Stopfmaschine ohne jedwede Einschränkung für normale Gleisabschnitte mit zufriedenstellenden Schotterverhältnissen einsetzbar ist.Due to this special combination of working equipment, there is the advantageous possibility of removing any unusable gravel of a track section immediately prior to the stuffing process for permanent clogging and replacing it with new ballast. This new ballast, which can be redistributed evenly onto the track through the ballast plow, can then be compacted immediately to create a permanent track position with the help of the tamping unit. Of particular advantage is also that the tamping machine can be used without any restriction for normal track sections with satisfactory gravel conditions.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie den Zeichnungen.Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the drawings.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben.In the following the invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

Die Absaugleitung 17 weist in jedem Schottersilo 20 eine durch Fernsteuerung verschließbare Entladeöffnung 21 zum wahlweisen Befüllen des darunter befindlichen Schottersilos 20 auf. Jeder Schottersilo 20 weist in seinem unteren Endbereich eine verschließbare und oberhalb eines in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Förderbandes 22 positionierte Auslaßöffnung 23 auf. Unterhalb eines vorderen Abwurfendes 24 dieses Förderbandes 22 befindet sich eine Auslaßöffnungen 25 aufweisende Entladeschurre 26. Hinter der Entladeschurre 26 ist ein durch Antriebe höhenverstellbar mit dem Maschinenrahmen 2 verbundener Schotterpflug 27 vorgesehen.The suction line 17 has in each ballast silo 20 a closable by remote control discharge opening 21 for selectively filling the underlying ballast silo 20. Each ballast silo 20 has in its lower end region a closable and above a running in the machine longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt 22 outlet opening 23. Below a front discharge end 24 of this conveyor belt 22 there is an outlet opening 25 having Entladeschurre 26. Behind the Entladeschurre 26 is a height adjustable by drives connected to the machine frame 2 ballast plow 27 is provided.

Unmittelbar hinter der Saugeinrichtung 18 ist eine zweite Entladeschurre 28 mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung 29 und verschließbaren Auslaßöffnungen 30 vorgesehen. Diese befinden sich oberhalb eines normal zur Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden, einen Antrieb 31 aufweisenden Querförderbandes 32. Dieses befindet sich zum Teil unterhalb eines vom Abwurfende 24 distanzierten zweiten Förderbandendes 33 des in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Förderbandes 22. In die Aufnahmeöffnung 29 der zweiten Entladeschurre 28 mündet eine weitere wahlweise verschließbare Entladeöffnung 21 der Absaugleitung 17.Immediately behind the suction device 18, a second Entladeschurre 28 is provided with a receiving opening 29 and closable outlet openings 30. These are located above a normal to the machine longitudinal direction extending, a drive 31 having cross conveyor belt 32. This is located partially below a distance from the discharge end 24 second conveyor belt end 33 of the running in the machine longitudinal direction conveyor belt 22. In the receiving opening 29 of the second Entladeschurre 28 opens another optional closable discharge opening 21 of the suction line 17th

Die quer- und höhenverstellbar am Maschinenrahmen 2 gelagerte Schotterabsaugdüse 15 ist an einer Düsenaufhängung 34 befestigt, die durch einen Antrieb 35 um eine normal zur Maschinenlängsrichtung und horizontal verlaufende Schwenkachse 36 verschwenkbar ist. Die Schotterabsaugdüse 15 ist zusätzlich zur Schwenkachse 36 auf einer weiteren, normal zur Maschinenlängsrichtung und horizontal verlaufenden Achse 37 gelagert und durch einen Antrieb 35 verschwenkbar ausgebildet.The transversely and height adjustable mounted on the machine frame 2 Schotterabsaugdüse 15 is attached to a nozzle suspension 34 which is pivotable by a drive 35 to a normal to the machine longitudinal direction and horizontal pivot axis 36. The Schotterabsaugdüse 15 is mounted in addition to the pivot axis 36 on a further, normal to the machine longitudinal direction and horizontal axis 37 and formed by a drive 35 pivotable.

Im folgenden wird die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Stopfmaschine 1 näher beschrieben.In the following the operation of the tamping machine 1 according to the invention will be described in more detail.

Die Stopfmaschine 1 eignet sich besonders zum Einsatz für Gleisabschnitte, in denen kurze, etwa sechs bis zehn Schwellenabstände lange Abschnitte für eine dauerhafte Unterstopfung nicht mehr akzeptable Schotterverhältnisse aufweisen. Sobald ein derartiger Abschnitt erreicht ist, erfolgt ein Absenken der Schotterabsaugdüse 15 zwischen die Schwellen 4, wonach unter Erzeugung eines Vakuums der verschmutzte Schotter angesaugt und beispielsweise in einem leeren Schottersilo 20 gespeichert wird. Während der Schotterabsaugung kann das Gleis 6 bedarfsweise auch geringfügig durch das Gleishebe-Richtaggregat 11 angehoben werden. Unter schrittweiser Vorfahrt der Maschine 1 werden die anschließenden Schwellenfächer geleert, bis im gesamten zu erneuernden Gleisabschnitt der verschmutzte Schotter abgesaugt und gespeichert ist. Bereits während der Rückfahrt der Maschine 1 wird in den beiden anderen Schottersilos 20 gespeicherter neuer Schotter über die zugeordneten Auslaßöffnungen 23 auf das Förderband 22 abgeworfen und von diesem zur Entladeschurre 26 transportiert. Durch diese wird der neue Schotter über den Gleisquerschnitt verteilt abgeworfen.The tamping machine 1 is particularly suitable for use on track sections, in which short, about six to ten threshold distances long sections for a permanent Unterstopfung unacceptable gravel conditions exhibit. As soon as such a section has been reached, the ballast suction nozzle 15 is lowered between the sleepers 4, whereafter the soiled ballast is sucked in and generated, for example, in an empty ballast silo 20 to generate a vacuum. During the gravel extraction the track 6 can also be raised slightly if necessary by the track lifting straightening unit 11. Under gradual right of way of the machine 1, the subsequent threshold compartments are emptied until the contaminated gravel is sucked and stored throughout the track section to be renewed. Already during the return of the machine 1 20 new gravel stored in the other two ballast silos dropped over the associated outlet openings 23 on the conveyor belt 22 and transported from this to Entladeschurre 26. Through this the new gravel is thrown over the cross section of the track.

In einer anschließenden Vorfahrt in der durch den Pfeil 9 dargestellten Arbeitsrichtung wird der Schotterpflug 27 abgesenkt, um den abgeworfenen neuen Schotter gleichmäßig über die gesamte Gleisbreite zu verteilen. Anschließend wird der erneuerte Gleisabschnitt unter Einsatz des Stopfaggregates 10, des Gleishebe-Richtaggregates 11 sowie des Gleislagekontrollsystems 13 in die gewünschte Gleislage gebracht.In a subsequent right of way in the direction shown by the arrow 9 of the ballast plow 27 is lowered to distribute the discarded new gravel evenly over the entire track width. Subsequently, the renewed track section using the tamping unit 10, the track lifting straightening unit 11 and the track position control system 13 is brought into the desired track position.

Durch die spezielle Anordnung mehrerer Schottersilos 20 mit einem darunter befindlichen Förderband 22 sowie der hinteren zweiten Entladeschurre 28 und dem Querförderband 32 sind verschiedene Anpassungsmöglichkeiten an die jeweiligen Schotterverhältnisse möglich. So kann beispielsweise verschmutzter Schotter, der aufgrund mangelnder Speicherkapazitäten nicht mehr speicherbar ist, von der Absaugleitung 17 in die zweite Entladeschurre 28 entleert werden. Diese kann bedarfsweise unter Verschluß der Auslaßöffnung 30 noch als zusätzlicher Speicher eingesetzt werden. Es kann aber auch jederzeit eine Entleerung des verschmutzten Schotters von der zweiten Entladeschurre 28 über das Querförderband 32 auf eine der beiden Schotterbettflanken des Gleises 6 erfolgen. Ebenso kann die Entleerung eines mit verschmutztem Schotter gefüllten Schottersilos 20 durchgeführt werden, indem der Schotter über die Auslaßöffnungen 23 auf das Förderband 22 und von diesem auf das Querförderband 32 transportiert wird. In vorteilhafter Weise kann bei entsprechendem Speicherbedarf natürlich auch ein zweiter Schottersilo 20 mit verschmutztem Schotter gefüllt werden, sobald der zuvor gespeicherte, gereinigte Schotter zur Gänze auf das Gleis 6 abgeworfen wurde.Due to the special arrangement of a plurality of ballast silos 20 with a conveyor belt 22 located therebelow and the rear second unloading chute 28 and the cross conveyor belt 32, different adaptation possibilities to the respective ballast conditions are possible. Thus, for example, soiled ballast, which is no longer storable due to lack of storage capacity, be emptied from the suction line 17 into the second discharge chute 28. This can be used if necessary, with closure of the outlet opening 30 still as additional memory. But it can also be done at any time emptying of the polluted ballast from the second discharge chute 28 via the cross conveyor belt 32 on one of the two ballast bed edges of the track 6. Likewise, the emptying of a ballast silo 20 filled with soiled ballast can be carried out by transporting the ballast via the outlet openings 23 onto the conveyor belt 22 and from there onto the transverse conveyor belt 32. In an advantageous manner Way, of course, with a corresponding storage requirements, a second ballast silo 20 are filled with dirty gravel, as soon as the previously stored, cleaned ballast was completely dropped onto the track 6.

Mit einer am hinteren Ende der Stopfmaschine 1 positionierten Kehrbürste 38 kann in einem abschließenden Arbeitsgang, vorzugsweise in Verbindung mit der Gleisunterstopfung, das Gleis 6 abgekehrt werden. Die Bedienungsperson hat von einer Arbeitskabine 39 aus eine sehr gute Sicht auf die Schotterabsaugdüse 15 und das Stopfaggregat 10.With a sweeping brush 38 positioned at the rear end of the tamping machine 1, the track 6 can be turned away in a concluding operation, preferably in conjunction with the track tamping. The operator has a very good view of the ballast suction nozzle 15 and the tamping unit 10 from a work booth 39.
