Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zu Grunde, ein Rillenschienenherzstück bzw. ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen so weiterzubilden, dass dieses mit konstruktiv einfachen Maßnahmen zur Verfügung gestellt wird und auch über eine große Länge vom Schnittpunkt der Rillen aus betrachtet in Längsrichtung einen homogenen Werkstoffverlauf zeigt. Dabei sollen gewünschte Herzstückwinkel problemlos ausgebildet werden können. Ferner soll die Möglichkeit geschaffen sein, den verschleißintensiven Radüberlaufbereich verschleißfest auszubilden.The present invention is based on the problem, a grooved rail frog or a Process for the preparation of such a way that this with structurally simple Measures is provided and also over a long distance from the intersection of Grooved from viewed in the longitudinal direction shows a homogeneous material course. It should be desired Corner piece angle can be easily formed. Furthermore, the possibility should be be created wear-resistant form the wear-intensive Radüberlaufbereich.

Das Problem wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem Rillenschienenherzstück der eingangs genannten Art im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass die Konstruktionsprofile Vollkopfprofile mit im Herzstückschnittpunktbereich vorhandenen Köpfen sind, dass entlang der Längsachse des Herzstücks betrachtet der Verlauf eines jeden Vollkopfprofils einer Hälfte des Herzstücks entspricht, dass jeder Schienenkopf eine Schweißnahtvorbereitung mit einem Bereich aufweist, in dem die Vollkopfprofile miteinander verschweißt sind, und dass in den Schienenköpfen der Vollkopfprofile die sich schneidenden Rillen ausgebildet sind.The problem is inventively with a grooved rail frog of the type mentioned solved essentially by the fact that the construction profiles full head profiles with in the center intersection area Existing heads are considered that along the longitudinal axis of the centerpiece the course of each full-head profile of one half of the centerpiece corresponds to that of each railhead a weld preparation having a range in which the full head profiles welded together, and that in the rail heads of Vollkopfprofile itself cutting grooves are formed.

Abweichend vom vorbekannten Stand der Technik besteht der Herzstückschnittpunktbereich aus Abschnitten von zwei getrennt hergestellten Konstruktionsprofilen, die im Schnittpunktbereich wie Überlaufbereich miteinander verschweißt sind. Da das Schienenherzstück jeweils nur ein Abschnitt der miteinander verbundenen Konstruktionsprofile ist, kann im erheblichen Abstand zum Herzstück selbst eine Verbindung mit Anschlussschienen erfolgen. Somit ist im unmittelbaren Bereich des Herzstückes ein Stumpfschweiß nicht erforderlich mit der Folge, dass sich in Längsrichtung ein homogener Werkstückverlauf ergibt. Da der nach dem Stand der Technik erforderliche homogene Herzstückblock nicht notwendig ist, kann der Herzstückbereich selbst kürzer ausgebildet werden. Somit ergibt sich eine kurze kompakte Bauweise, die auch große Herzstückwinkel zulässt, ohne dass der Fahrtkomfort eines ein entsprechendes Herzstück durchfahrenden Fahrzeuges beeinträchtigt wird.Deviating from the prior art, the heart-shaped intersection region consists of Sections of two separately manufactured construction profiles, which in the intersection area like Overflow area are welded together. Since the rail frog only one section at a time The interconnected construction profiles can be substantial Distance to the core itself, a connection made with connecting rails. Thus, in the immediate area of the frog does not require a butt fusion with the consequence that results in a homogeneous workpiece course in the longitudinal direction. Because of the state The technique required homogeneous core block is not necessary, the core section even shorter. This results in a short compact Construction, which also allows large frog angle, without the ride comfort of a corresponding heart of passing vehicle is impaired.

Erfindungsgemäß werden zwei symmetrische Konstruktionsprofile wie zum Beispiel Dickstegschienen oder Vierkantprofile mit Vollkopfprofil so gebogen, dass ihre Form einem in der Längsachse geteilten Herzstück entspricht. Dabei sind die Konstruktionsprofile in ihren einander zugewandten und miteinander zu verschweißenden Fügeflächen plan bearbeitet. Die Schienenköpfe selbst weisen Schweißnahtvorbereitungen wie Fugen auf, um die Konstruktionsprofile durch Verbindungsschweißung verbinden zu können. Dabei kann die Schweißverbindung aus verschiedenen Lagen bestehen, die gegebenenfalls Zusätze aufweisen. Insbesondere kann die Verschweißung eine Decklage mit einem Zusatzwerkstoff umfassen, der sowohl für Verbindungsschweißungen zum Beispiel für hochlegierte rostfreie Stähle und Mischverbindungen zwischen diesen und normalen Baustählen als auch als Auftragswerkstoff für Schienen und Weichenteile üblich ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, dass die verwendeten Schweißzusatzwerkstoffe verschleißmindernde Eigenschaften erfahren, so dass insbesondere die von dem Rad durchfahrenen Bereiche verschleißfest ausgebildet werden können. Hierzu ist auch vorgesehen, dass die sich kreuzenden Rillen des Herzstückes in ihren Böden bzw. ihrem gemeinsamen Boden durch Schweißmaterial gebildet sind bzw. ist.According to the invention, two symmetrical construction profiles, such as thick-web rails, are used or square profiles with full head profile bent so that their shape is one in the Longitudinal axis divided heart corresponds. The design profiles are in theirs machined facing each other and to be welded together surfaces. The Railheads themselves have weld preparation like joints on the construction profiles connect by joint welding. In this case, the welded joint consist of different layers, which optionally have additives. Especially the welding may comprise a cover layer with a filler material which for joint welding, for example, for high-alloyed stainless steels and Mixed connections between these and normal structural steels as well as an order material is common for rails and switch parts. This gives rise to the possibility that the used welding consumables experience wear-reducing properties, so that in particular, the areas traversed by the wheel are designed to be wear-resistant can. For this purpose, it is also provided that the intersecting grooves of the centerpiece in their Soils or their common bottom are formed by welding material or is.

Des Weiteren können die Konstruktionsprofile über zwei oder mehrere Schraubverbindungen zueinander fixiert sein und als so gebildete Einheit auf einer gemeinsamen Grundplatte angeordnet und mit dieser durch normale Schweißtechniken verbunden werden. Andere Verbindungsarten sind gleichfalls möglich. In addition, the construction profiles can have two or more screw connections be fixed to each other and as a unit formed on a common base plate be arranged and connected to this by normal welding techniques. Other Connection types are also possible.

In Fig. 1, a grooved rail frog 10 is shown purely in principle, in which in a known manner intersecting grooves 12, 14 extend. The heart-piece intersection region, such as the wheel overflow region in which the grooves 12, 14 intersect and is outlined in FIG. 1 (reference numeral 16), is usually formed as a homogeneous block in the prior art. This can be produced by casting or by slitting and spreading a slab, as the above-discussed prior art illustrates.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht das Rillenschienenherzstück aus zwei Konstruktionsprofilen 18, 20, die im Ausgangszustand als Vollkopfprofil ausgebildet sind. Als Konstruktionsprofile kommen zum Beispiel Dickstegschienen oder Vierkantprofile in Frage, ohne dass hierdurch eine Einschränkung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre erfolgt. Die Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 werden nun derart gebogen und zueinander ausgerichtet, dass sie die Form des in seiner Längsachse geteilten fertigen Herzstückes 10 entsprechen. In ihren vorgesehenen Fügeflächen werden die Profile 18, 20 plan bearbeitet. Ferner erfolgt im jeweiligen Schienenkopf eine Schweißnahtvorbereitung in Form von Fugen 22, 24, 26, 28, die für das Verschweißen der Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 erforderlich sind. Sodann werden die Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 zueinander mittels Schraubverbindungen 34 kraftschlüssig verbunden. Dabei können die Schraubverbindungen Nord-Lock-Schraubsicherungen aufweisen. Insoweit wird auf bekannte Konstruktionen verwiesen.According to the invention, the grooved rail frog consists of two construction profiles 18, 20, which are formed in the initial state as a full head profile. As construction profiles For example, thick bars or square profiles are possible without this a limitation of the teaching of the invention takes place. The construction profiles 18, 20 are now so bent and aligned with each other that they take the shape of his Longitudinal axis divided finished core 10 correspond. In their intended joint surfaces the profiles 18, 20 are processed flat. Furthermore, in the respective rail head a Weld preparation in the form of joints 22, 24, 26, 28, which are used for welding Construction profiles 18, 20 are required. Then the construction profiles 18, 20 mutually positively connected by means of screw 34. The can Screw connections Nord-Lock Schraubsicherungen have. As far as known Constructions referenced.

Die miteinander verschraubten und eine Einheit bildenden Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 werden auf einer gemeinsamen Unterlage wie Grundplatte 32 aufgebracht und mit dieser in normaler Schweißtechnik verbunden.The bolted together and forming a unit construction profiles 18, 20 are applied on a common base as base plate 32 and with this in normal Welding technology connected.

Die Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 werden sodann in Längsrichtung des Herzstückes 10 im Wesentlichen durch Verbindungsschweißung verbunden. Die entsprechenden in den Fugen 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 ausgebildeten Schweißnähte sind mit den Bezugszeichen 38, 40, 42 versehen, wobei in den Schnittdarstellungen die Schweißnähte selbst bereits teilweise bearbeitet sind, und zwar durch Ausbilden der Rillen 12, 14; denn erst nach dem Verschweißen der Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 werden in deren Köpfen 19, 21 die Rillen 12, 14 ausgebildet, so dass infolgedessen im Schnittbereich 44 der Rillen 12, 14 die Schweißnaht 42 bis auf einen Bodenbereich abgetragen ist, der gleichzeitig den Boden der den Radüberlaufbereich 44 schneidenden Rillen 12, 14 ist.The construction profiles 18, 20 are then in the longitudinal direction of the core 10 in Essentially connected by joint welding.

Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, die Schweißnähte 38, 40 durch Lagen, sogenannte Wurzel- und Fülllagen und Decklagen auszubilden, wobei die Wurzel- und Fülllagen Verbindungszusätze und die Decklage, die mit einem das Herzstück 10 durchfahrenden Rades wechselwirken, mit Auftragszusätzen versehen werden.Furthermore, it is possible to weld the welds 38, 40 through layers, so-called root and form filling layers and cover layers, wherein the root and filling layers connecting additives and the cover layer, which interact with a wheel passing through the core 10, be provided with order additions.

Außerhalb des unmittelbaren Radüberlaufbereichs 44 sind zwischen den zueinander divergierenden Schenkeln der Konstruktionsprofile 18, 20 in gewohnter Weise Abdeckbleche 44, 46 wie Tränenbleche angebracht, um einen straßenbündigen Einbau zu ermöglichen.Outside the immediate wheel overflow area 44 are diverging between each other Thighs the construction profiles 18, 20 in the usual way cover plates 44, 46th like teardrops attached to allow for flush mounting.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lehre ist im unmittelbaren Bereich der sich schneidenden Rillen 12, 14 eine Stumpfschweißverbindung nicht notwendig. Vielmehr werden zur Ausbildung des Herzstücks 10 in dessen Längsrichtung Konstruktionsprofile verschweißt, die im Ausgangszustand ein Vollkopfprofil zeigen. Die erfindungsgemäße Lehre ermöglicht die Herstellung von Herzstücken z. B. mit kleinen Herzstückwinkeln zwischen zum Beispiel 0° - 40° und/oder Flachrillenbereichen gewünschte Länge, auf denen die Spurkranzkuppe eines Rades abrollen kann.The teaching of the invention is in the immediate vicinity of the intersecting grooves 12, 14 a butt weld not necessary. Rather, the training of the Centerpiece 10 welded in the longitudinal direction of construction profiles, which in the initial state show a full head profile. The teaching of the invention allows the preparation of frogs z. B. with small heart angle between, for example, 0 ° - 40 ° and / or Flachrillenbereichen desired length, on which the wheel flange of a wheel can roll.

Losgelöst hiervon sind die nach dem Stand der Technik aufgrund der verwendeten homogenen Herzstückblöcke zu berücksichtigenden Nebenbedingungen, die konstruktive Begrenzungen bei der Ausbildung von Herzstücken erforderlich machen, gegenstandslos.Detached from this are the state of the art due to the homogeneous used Core blocks to be considered constraints, the design limitations necessary in the formation of frogs, without meaning.
