Eine derartige Gleisbaumaschine ist bereits aus JP 2000257003 A bekannt. Diese ist auf einem gleisverfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen aufgebaut. An dessen - bezüglich einer Arbeitsrichtung - hinteren Ende ist eine Räumvorrichtung angeordnet, welche aus einer endlosen, um das Gleis herumgeführten Räumkette besteht. Das mit dieser aufgenommene Bettungsmaterial wird mittels einer am Maschinenrahmen befindlichen Fördereinrichtung abtransportiert.Such a track construction machine is already known from JP 2000257003 A. This is built on a machine frame that can be moved on the track. On whose - With regard to a working direction - the rear end is a clearing device arranged, which consist of an endless, around the track Clearance chain exists. The bedding material recorded with this is by means of transported to a conveyor located on the machine frame.

Eine weitere, ähnliche Maschine ist auch aus JP 2000290904 A ersichtlich.Another, similar machine can also be seen in JP 2000290904 A.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Maschine der gattungsgemäßen Art, mit der auch bei einer sehr kurzen Ausbildung der Maschine eine problemlose Gleisanhebung möglich ist.The object of the present invention is to create a machine of the generic type, with which even with a very short training the machine can easily raise the track.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß am bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung hinteren Ende der Maschine zwei in Maschinenquerrichtung voneinander distanzierte, durch Antriebe höhenverstellbare Raupenfahrwerke mit dem Maschinenrahmen verbunden sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved with a machine of the type mentioned at the beginning Art solved in that the rear with respect to the working direction End of the machine, two spaced apart in the cross machine direction, height-adjustable crawler tracks with the machine frame thanks to drives are connected.

Mit einer derartigen Gleisbaumaschine ist es möglich, den Achsabstand der Maschine für deren kurze Ausbildung besonders eng zu gestalten, ohne daß damit die für die Räumkette erforderliche Gleisanhebung beeinträchtigt ist. Diese ist nunmehr durch die Raupenfahrwerke unabhängig von der Position des hinteren Schienenfahrwerkes durchführbar. Außerdem ist es möglich, daß nach dem Arbeitseinsatz der Maschine eine weitere Maschine Arbeiten am Gleis durchführen kann, ohne daß dabei das Gleis erneut angehoben werden muß, bzw. in der Zwischenzeit auf das Planum abgelegt werden muß. Das Planum wird somit geschont und nicht zusätzlich belastet.With such a track construction machine, it is possible to change the center distance of the To make the machine particularly short for their short training without so that the track lifting required for the clearing chain is impaired. This is now independent of the position due to the crawler tracks of the rear rail undercarriage feasible. It is also possible that after the work of the machine another machine is working can perform on the track without lifting the track again must be, or in the meantime placed on the formation got to. The formation is protected and not burdened additionally.

Weitere Vorteile und Ausbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Zeichnung.Further advantages and developments of the invention result from the subclaims and the drawing.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben.In the following the invention with reference to one shown in the drawing Embodiment described in more detail.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht einer Gleisbaumaschine zur Aufnahme von Bettungsmaterial und
  • Fig. 2 eine vereinfachte Ansicht der Maschine in Gleislängsrichtung bzw. Arbeitsrichtung
    • Show it:
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of a track construction machine for receiving bedding material and
  • Fig. 2 is a simplified view of the machine in the longitudinal direction or working direction

    • Eine in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Gleisbaumaschine 1 zur Aufnahme von Bettungsmaterial 2 aus einem Gleis 3 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem auf Schienenfahrwerken 4 gleisverfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen 5. Im - bezüglich einer Arbeitsrichtung (Pfeil 6) - hinteren Bereich der Maschine 1 ist eine Räumvorrichtung 7 angeordnet. Diese weist eine durch Antriebe 8, 9 höhenverstellbare und in Rotation versetzbare, endlos um das Gleis 3 bzw. um das hintere Schienenfahrwerk 4 herumgeführte Räumkette 10 auf. Zwischen den beiden Schienenfahrwerken 4 befinden sich ein Hebeantriebe 11 aufweisendes Gleishebeaggregat 12 sowie eine Arbeitskabine 13 mit einer Steuereinrichtung 14. Sämtliche Antriebe und ein Fahrantrieb 15 werden von einem am Maschinenrahmen 5 angeordneten Energieaggregat 16 versorgt.A track construction machine 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for receiving bedding material 2 from a track 3 consists essentially of one Rail trolleys 4 track-moving machine frames 5. In - with respect a working direction (arrow 6) - rear area of machine 1 is one Broaching device 7 arranged. This has a height adjustable by drives 8, 9 and rotatable, endless around the track 3 or around that rear rail carriage 4 clearing chain 10 guided around. Between two rail bogies 4 are provided with a lifting drives 11 Track lifting unit 12 and a work cabin 13 with a control device 14. All drives and a travel drive 15 are from one on Machine frame 5 arranged energy unit 16 supplied.

    An einem bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung der Maschine 1 hinteren Ende 17 sind zwei in Maschinenquerrichtung voneinander distanzierte Raupenfahrwerke 18 angeordnet. Diese hinter dem hinteren Schienenfahrwerk 4 angeordneten Raupenfahrwerke 18 sind jeweils durch einen Antrieb 19 höhenverstellbar mit dem Maschinenrahmen 5 verbunden. Bei Überstellfahrten werden die Raupenfahrwerke 18 angehoben (siehe strichpunktiert eingezeichnete Position).At a rear end 17 with respect to the working direction of the machine 1 are two crawler tracks spaced apart in the cross-machine direction 18 arranged. These are arranged behind the rear rail chassis 4 Crawler tracks 18 are each height adjustable by a drive 19 connected to the machine frame 5. When transferring the crawler tracks 18 raised (see dash-dotted lines Position).

    Im folgenden wird ein Arbeitseinsatz der Gleisbaumaschine 1 kurz beschrieben. Dabei stützt sich die Maschine 1 mit dem vorderen Schienenfahrwerk 4 am Gleis 3 bzw. mit dem hinteren Ende 17 über die ausgefahrenen Raupenfahrwerke 18 auf einem Planum 20 ab. Letzteres entsteht durch die Räumvorrichtung 7. Deren Räumkette 10 wirft das Bettungsmaterial 2 über eine zwischen den Raupenfahrwereken 18 und dem hinterem Schienenfahrwerk 4 gelegenen Abwurfstelle 21 auf eine in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende, am Maschinenrahmen 5 angeordnete Fördereinrichtung 22 ab. Diese transportiert das Bettungsmaterial 2 zu einem Speicherwagen 23. Durch die Abstützung der Maschine 1 mittels der Raupenfahrwerke 18 muß das Gleis 3 noch nicht abgelegt werden und kann mit Hilfe nicht näher dargestellter, der Maschine 1 folgender Gleisbaumaschinen weiter bearbeitet werden.In the following a work deployment of the track construction machine 1 is briefly described. The machine 1 is supported with the front rail chassis 4 on track 3 or with the rear end 17 over the extended crawler tracks 18 on a flat surface 20. The latter is created by the clearing device 7. The clearing chain 10 throws the bedding material 2 over one between the crawler tracks 18 and the rear rail undercarriage 4 located discharge point 21 to a machine machine arranged on the machine frame 5 conveyor 22. This transports the bedding material 2 to a storage car 23. Through the support the machine 1 by means of the crawler tracks 18, the track 3 not yet filed and can not be shown with the help of the Machine 1 of the following track construction machines can be processed further.
