Dabei wird die Kraft von einer Stelleinrichtung, die einen Spitzenverschluss betätigt, zu mindestens einer Stelleinrichtung zur Mittelverschlussbetätigung über Winkelhebelanschlussstangen und Winkelhebel übertragen.The power transmission between distant from each other Setting devices for blade positioning is in a known device by mechanical Doppeloder Single linkage, laterally outside the stock rails are attached, realized. The power of one Actuator actuating a tip closure, to at least one adjusting device for the middle closure operation via angle lever connecting rods and angle lever transfer.
Weiterhin bekannt ist eine, beispielsweise in der EP 0 715 581 B1 beschriebene, hydraulische Kraftübertragung, wobei die von einem elektrischen Weichenantrieb erzeugte Kraft von der Stelleinrichtung des Spitzenverschlusse auf einen mit dieser verbundenen hydraulischen Antriebszylinder übertragen wird. Die Weiterleitung der Kraft zum Mittelverschluss bzw. zu mehreren Mittelverschlüssen erfolgt über Rohrleitungen und hydraulische Umstellzylinder an jedem Mittelverschluss. Der Antriebszylinder und die Umstellzylinder sind platzsparend zwischen den Backenschienen angeordnet.Also known is one, for example in the EP 0 715 581 B1, hydraulic power transmission, wherein the generated by an electric switch drive Force from the actuator of the tip lock on one with this connected hydraulic drive cylinder is transmitted.

Eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung ist aus der Druckschrift "High Perfomance Switch System" der IAD Rail Systems bekannt. Bei dieser Einrichtung ist zwischen den Stelleinrichtungen eine Torsionswelle vorgesehen, durch deren mittels des Weichenantriebes erzwungene Drehung ein Zahnstangen/Ritzel-Antrieb beaufschlagt wird. Das Ritzel der Torsionswelle greift in die Zahnstange der Stelleinrichtung ein, wodurch die Rotationsbewegung der Torsionswelle in eine translatorische Bewegung der Stelleinrichtung umgesetzt wird. Nachteilig bei dieser Einrichtung ist vor allem die Empfindlichkeit des Zahnstangen/Ritzel-Getriebes gegenüber mechanischen und Umwelteinflüssen, insbesondere hinsichtlich Verschmutzung der Laufflächen. Außerdem dürfe die antriebsenergieverbrauchende Reibung bei diesem System erheblich sein.A generic device is from the document "High Performance Switch System" of IAD Rail Systems. In this device is between the adjusting devices a torsion provided by means of the switch drive forced rotation of a rack / pinion drive is charged. The pinion of the torsion shaft engages the rack of the actuator, whereby the rotational movement of the torsion wave in a translatory Movement of the adjusting device is implemented. adversely with this device is above all the sensitivity of the Racks / pinion gears against mechanical and environmental influences, especially with regard to pollution of the Treads. In addition, the drive energy-consuming Friction in this system can be significant.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung zum Umstellen von Weichen anzugeben, die sich bei einfachem Aufbau durch verbesserte Verschleißfestigkeit und geringere Reibungsverluste auszeichnet, wobei eine einfache Hubjüstage zur Anpassung des Hubes der Weichenzunge an den Montageort der Stelleinrichtungen sicherzustellen ist.The invention is based on the object, a generic Specify means to change over turnouts which may occur simple construction due to improved wear resistance and lower friction losses, with a simple Hubjüstage to adjust the stroke of the switch blade on the Mounting location of the adjusting devices is ensured.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die starr mit der Welle verbundenen Kurbelarme, die mit den beweglich angelenkten Stelleinrichtungen verbunden sind, entfallen verschleiß- und verschmutzungsanfällige Zahnstangen/Ritzel-Getriebe. Die zueinander beweglichen Teile sind nur über Lager, vorzugsweise reibungsarme Kugellager, miteinander verbunden. Die an der Welle befindlichen Kurbelarme sind über die angelenkten Stelleinrichtungen vorzugsweise mit einem Spitzenverschluss und einem Mittelverschluss der Eisenbahnweiche verbunden. Die von dem elektrischen Weichenantrieb erzeugte Kraft führt zur horizontalen Bewegung der Stelleinrichtung des Spitzenverschlusses. Diese Horizontalbewegung wird über den Kuppelarm in eine Drehbewegung der Welle umgesetzt. Am Mittelverschluss oder auch an mehreren Mittelverschlüssen der Eisenbahnweiche wird diese Drehbewegung der Welle über den jeweiligen Kurbelarm wieder in eine horizontale Bewegung der Stelleinrichtung des Mittelverschlusses bzw. der mehreren Mittelverschlüsse umgesetzt. Um den unterschiedlichen Hub der Weichenzungen am Spitzenverschluss und am Mittelverschluss auszugleichen, wird der axiale Abstand zwischen der Welle und der Stelleinrichtung entsprechend dimensioniert oder justierbar ausgebildet. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung wird die Kraftübertragung durch rein mechanische, raumsparende Anordnung und Ausbildung der Übertragungselemente realisiert, wobei die von hydraulischen Einrichtungen bekannten Probleme der Umweltbelastung im Havariefall bei Austritt von Hydraulikflüssigkeit vermieden sind. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Einrichtung besteht darin, dass durch den seitlichen Angriff mittels der angelenkten Stelleinrichtung an den Kurbelarm der Temperaturgang der Weichenzunge ausgeglichen werden kann.According to the invention, the object by the characterizing Characteristics of claim 1 solved. By the rigid with the shaft Connected crank arms that articulated with the movable Setting devices are connected, eliminates wear and Pollution-prone racks / pinion gears.

The generated by the electric switch drive force leads to horizontal movement of the actuator of the tip closure. This horizontal movement is via the dome arm converted into a rotational movement of the shaft. At the middle closure or at several middle closures of the railway switch This rotational movement of the shaft is via the respective crank arm again in a horizontal movement of the actuator the middle closure or the plurality of center closures implemented. To the different stroke of the switch blades on Top closure and balance on the center fastener is the axial distance between the shaft and the actuator designed according dimensioned or adjustable. The inventive device is the power transmission by purely mechanical, space-saving arrangement and training implemented the transmission elements, wherein the of hydraulic equipment known problems of environmental pollution in the event of an accident in the event of leakage of hydraulic fluid are avoided. Another advantage of the device is in that by lateral attack by means of hinged Setting device to the crank arm of the temperature gear the switch tongue can be compensated.

Welle 4 fest verbunden, so dass durch die Drehbewegung des
Kurbelarmes 11 auch die Welle 4 um einen entsprechenden Winkel,
beispielsweise 60°, verdreht wird (Figur 2). Um die im
Wesentlichen translatorische Bewegung der Kuppelstange 5 und
der Schieberstange 6 und die Drehbewegung des Kurbelarmes 11
mechanisch zu bewerkstelligen, sind die beiden Stangen 5 und
6 an mindestens einem ihrer beiden Enden beweglich angelenkt.
Die Welle 4 ist auf Lagerböcken 12, welche auf Schwellen 13
montiert sind, gelagert. Die Welle 4 kann aus mehreren, mit
Schraubflanschen 14 verbundenen Teilen bestehen. Die Verbindung
