Abstract

A process and device are disclosed for exchanging wheelsets of railway vehicles by means of a travelling unit, the railway vehicle being brought onto a supported track section. The invention addresses the problem of developing a structurally simple and economical wheelset-exchanging device which can be moved without its own drive and be used with all standardised track bridges and wheelsets in a polyvalent manner. The device should also be low-maintenance, operationally reliable and very stable. According to the invention, this problem is solved in that the supported track section (3) between two tracks comprises a working pit (2) in which a mobile wheelset exchanger (1) fits precisely in the area of an extendable standardised track bridge (4) by means of a mobile hoisting vehicle, preferably a fork lift truck. The mobile wheelset exchanger comprises one or more, preferably hydraulic, telescopic cylinders, the supported tracks comprise detachable standardised track bridges, and the standardised track bridges comprise a locking/unlocking structure (S) and an earthing device.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Radsatzwechsel an Schienenfahrzeugen mittels einer verfahrbaren Einrichtung, wobei das Schienenfahrzeug auf einen aufgeständerten Gleisabschnitt gebracht wird.The invention relates to a method and a device for changing the wheelset on rail vehicles by means of a movable device, wherein the rail vehicle is brought to an elevated track section.

Es ist bekannt, Radsätze oder Drehgestelle von Schienenfahrzeugen mittels eines unter die Spurkränze greifenden Hubtisches anzuheben.
Aus der DE 42 04 347 C1 ist eine Hub- und Senkvorrichtung für den Baugruppenwechsel an Schienenfahrzeugen auf aufgeständerten Gleisen bekannt, wobei die Gleisbrücke auf das Niveau der Arbeitsebene absenkbar ist. Mittels einer flurfahrbaren Aufnahmevorrichtung kann der Radsatz anschließend seitlich herausgefahren werden.
Weiterhin bekannt ist eine kombinierte Hub-Senkvorrichtung für den Baugruppenwechsel an Schienenfahrzeugen ( DE 198 38 483 C1 ), bei der ein Hubtisch bis auf den Hallenfußboden bündig absenkbar ist. Die beiden Gleisbrücken sind dabei über einen Grundrahmen fest miteinander verbunden.
Darüber hinaus ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die es ermöglicht, ein Schienenfahrzeug über mobil ausgeführte Hebeböcke im Ganzen anzuheben bzw. abzusenken ( DE 101 56 010 A1 ). Die Hebeböcke weisen voneinander unabhängig in der Höhe verstellbare Konsolen mit Auflagerflächen oder Pratzen auf. Die Konsolen sind quer zum Fahrzeug verschiebbar ausgebildet.
Auch luftkissenbetriebene Radsatzwechselvorrichtungen sind ausreichend bekannt.
Allen bekannten Hubvorrichtungen ist gemeinsam, dass diese aufwendig konstruiert und umständlich zu handhaben sowie in der Anschaffung teuer sind. Zudem werden aufwändige und teure Vorrichtungen zur Gleisbrückenentnahme benötigt, die wiederum sehr störanfällig sind. Ferner ist im Falle des Luftkissenantriebs ein teurer und aufwändiger Hallenfußboden erforderlich.It is known to lift wheelsets or bogies of rail vehicles by means of a cross-flange disc under the wheel flanges.
From the DE 42 04 347 C1 is a lifting and lowering device for the assembly change on rail vehicles on elevated tracks known, the track bridge can be lowered to the level of the working plane. By means of a floor-mounted receiving device, the wheelset can then be moved out laterally.
Also known is a combined lift-lowering device for the assembly change on rail vehicles ( DE 198 38 483 C1 ), in which a lift table can be lowered flush down to the hall floor. The two track bridges are firmly connected to each other via a base frame.
In addition, a device is known which makes it possible to raise or lower a rail vehicle via mobile lifting blocks as a whole ( DE 101 56 010 A1 ). The jacks have mutually independent in height adjustable brackets with bearing surfaces or claws on. The brackets are designed to be displaceable transversely to the vehicle.
Also air cushion operated Radsatzwechselvorrichtungen are well known.
All known lifting devices have in common that they are elaborately constructed and cumbersome to handle and expensive to purchase. In addition, expensive and expensive devices for track bridge removal are required, which in turn are very susceptible to interference. Furthermore, in the case of air cushion drive an expensive and elaborate hall floor is required.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine konstruktiv einfache und billige Radsatzwechselvorrichtung zu entwickeln, die ohne eigenen Antrieb, mit einem mobilen Hubfahrzeug (Gabelstapler) verfahrbar und an allen EinheitsGleisbrücken und Radsätzen multivalent einsetzbar ist. Die Vorrichtung soll ferner wartungsarm, betriebsicher und sehr stabil sein.The invention has for its object to develop a structurally simple and inexpensive Radsatzwechselvorrichtung that can be used without own drive, with a mobile lifting truck (forklift) and multivalent on all unit bridges and wheelsets. The device should also be low maintenance, safe to operate and very stable.

  • der aufgeständerte Gleisabschnitt zwischen zwei Gleisen eine Arbeitsgrube aufweist, in die im Bereich einer ausfahrbaren Einheitsgleisbrücke mittels eines mobilen Hubfahrzeuges ein mobiler Radsatzwechsler passgenau eingesetzt wird,
  • ein oder mehrere hydraulisch betriebene Teleskopzylinder des mobilen Radsatzwechslers derart ausgefahren werden, dass der auszuwechselnde Radsatz bis zu seiner Entlastung leicht angehoben wird,
  • nachfolgend die in den aufgeständerten Gleisen befindlichen beiden lösbaren Teile der Einheitsgleisbrücke über eine Ver-/Entriegelungskonstruktion entsichert und insoweit seitwärts ausgefahren und auf Ständer abgelegt werden, bis ein nach unten gerichtetes Hindurchführen des Radsatzes gewährleistet wird,
  • der vom Fahrgestell des Schienenfahrzeuges gelöste Radsatz bis in eine Höhe abgesenkt wird, die ein seitliches Aufnehmen und Ausfahren des Radsatzes mittels des mobilen Hubfahrzeuges gewährleistet und
  • anschließend ein instandgesetzter oder neuer Radsatz in umgekehrter Reihenfolge wieder in das Fahrgestell des Schienenfahrzeuges eingesetzt sowie befestigt und die Einheitsgleisbrücke geschlossen sowie verriegelt wird und
  • der Radsatzwechsler mittels der Teleskopzylinder abgesenkt und danach mittels des mobilen Hubfahrzeuges aus der Arbeitsgrube wieder entnommen und entfernt wird.
This is inventively achieved in that
  • the elevated track section between two tracks has a working pit into which a mobile wheel set changer is accurately fitted in the area of an extendable unit track bridge by means of a mobile lifting vehicle,
  • one or more hydraulically operated telescopic cylinders of the mobile wheel set changer are extended such that the wheel set to be replaced is slightly raised until it is unloaded,
  • Subsequently, the two releasable parts of the unit track bridge located in the elevated tracks unlocked via a locking / unlocking construction and so far extended sideways and placed on stand until a downward directed passage of the wheelset is ensured
  • the wheel set detached from the chassis of the rail vehicle is lowered to a height which ensures lateral reception and extension of the wheel set by means of the mobile lifting vehicle and
  • then a repaired or new set of wheels in the reverse order re-inserted and fixed in the chassis of the rail vehicle and the unit track bridge is closed and locked, and
  • the wheel set changer lowered by means of the telescopic cylinder and then removed again by means of the mobile lifting vehicle from the working pit and removed.

Das aufgeständerte Gleis und die Einheitsgleisbrückenabschnitte an den Ständern werden im Bereich der ausfahrbaren Einheitsgleisbrücke, mittels einer Kabel-Schlaufe oder einer ähnlichen Ausführung als Triebstromrückführung geerdet.The elevated track and the unit track bridge sections on the uprights are earthed in the area of the retractable unit track bridge, by means of a cable loop or similar design as drive current return.

Die Ver-/Entriegelungskonstruktion der Einheitsgleisbrücke wird vorzugsweise über ein Kipphebelsystem mit Sicherungsbolzen und Lasche betätigt.The locking / unlocking construction of the unit track bridge is preferably actuated via a rocker arm system with safety bolts and lugs.

Dies hätte besondere Vorteile bei notwendigen Reparaturen und Instandsetzungsmaßnahmen, so dass der Radsatzwechsler nicht im Ganzen ausgetauscht werden müsste. Auch wäre in der Praxis eine Bevorratung einzelner Module einfacher und billiger zu bewerkstelligen.The mobile wheelset changer can also be composed of several modules. This would have particular advantages in necessary repairs and repairs, so that the wheel set would not have to be replaced as a whole. Also, in practice, a storage of individual modules would be easier and cheaper to accomplish.

Der Radsatzwechsler weist zur Positionierung in Gleislängsrichtung ein manuell zu betätigendes, hydraulisch höhenverstellbares Spurkranzfahrwerk und für die Positionierung beim Achseinbau eine Schiebeplattform auf.The wheel set changer has a manually operated, hydraulically height-adjustable wheel flange carriage for positioning in the track longitudinal direction and a sliding platform for positioning when mounting the axle.

Der Radsatzwechsler 1 (RSW) wird mittels eines nicht dargestellten Gabelstaplers in die vorhandene Arbeitsgrube 2 des aufgeständerten Gleisabschnittes 3 im Bereich der Einheitsgleisbrücke 4 passgenau eingesetzt. Anschließend wird der Radsatzwechsler 1 an die vorhandenen Medien angeschlossen (Figur 1). Der Radsatzwechsler 1 weist vorzugsweise - nicht dargestellte - hydraulisch betriebene Teleskopzylinder auf, die ein Ausfahren des Wechslers bis zum Radsatz 5 bewerkstelligen und diesen leicht anheben, damit die entsprechenden Befestigungen am Drehgestell des Schienenfahrzeuges gelöst werden können. Anschließend wird die Ver-/Entriegelungseinrichtung 6 der Einheitsgleisbrücke 4 entriegelt und die Einheitsgleisbrücke 4 seitwärts aufgefahren, bis der Radsatz mit seinen beiden Lagergehäusen nach unten hindurchgeführt und insoweit abgesenkt werden kann, dass der Radsatz mittels eines mobilen Hubfahrzeuges, vorzugsweise eines Gabelstaplers seitwärts entnehmbar ist. Er wird dann gegen einen neuen Radsatz ausgetauscht.
Jede Ver-/Entriegelungseinrichtung 6 setzt sich aus jeweils zwei Aufnahmesitzen 7 zusammen, die über einen Kipphebelsystem 9 mit Sicherungsbolzen 10 und Lasche 11 in die Entriegelungsleisten 8 des Radsatzwechslers 1 eingreifen.
Das aufgeständerte Gleis und die Einheitsgleisbrückenabschnitte an den Ständern 12 werden im Bereich der ausfahrbaren Einheitsgleisbrücke 4, mittels einer Kabel-Schlaufe 13 oder einer ähnlichen Ausführung als Triebstromrückführung geerdet.
Der RSW 1 muss über eine Hebeeinrichtung mit einer Hubkraft von > 250 kN (Teleskopzylinder) verfügen. Die Hebeeinrichtung muss den zu tauschenden Radsatz am Spurkranz aufnehmen. Der Radsatz darf sich während der Hubvorgänge nicht auf der Radsatzaufnahme bewegen. Der Radsatz ist soweit anzuheben, dass die Gleisbrücken lastfrei sind und ein betriebsfähiger Radsatz mit max. Herstellungs-Messkreisdurchmesser eingebaut werden kann. Das bedeutet, die Differenz zwischen Herstellungs- und Betriebsgrenzmaß des Messkreisdurchmessers kann etwa 90 mm betragen. Um die Einheitsgleisbrücken 4 bei einer solchen Durchmesser-Differenz leicht wieder einfahren zu können, muss der zu tauschende, bis zum Grenzmaß abgefahrene Radsatz etwa (4 cm + 2 cm) = 6 cm über die Einheitsgleisbrücken 4 angehoben werden.
Der Hubtisch wird aus bestimmten Gründen nicht immer mittig den Radsatz anheben können. Soweit der Hubtisch durch einen Hydraulikzylinder gehoben wird, wirken dann relativ hohe Drehmomente auf den Hydraulikzylinder mit negativen Folgen für Zylinderlaufflächen und Dichtungen. Eine Alternative zum hydraulisch wirkenden Hubzylinder ist ein Scherenhubtisch.
Bei den Gleisbrücken- Ausfahreinrichtungen ist zwischen Nichtausfahrseite und Ausfahrseite zu unterscheiden. Auf der Nichtausfahrseite ist die Gleisbrücke von der Ausfahreinrichtung aufzunehmen, zu entriegeln und ca. 650 mm waagerecht vom Gleis weg nach außen zu fahren.
Auf der Ausfahrseite ist die von der Ausfahreinrichtung aufgenommene Gleisbrücke ebenfalls nach außen hinter die Bezugslinie für Fahrzeuge - ca. 910mm vom Gleis zu fahren. Gleichzeitig oder anschließend ist die Gleisbrücke nach oben - ca. 1700mm zu transportieren, so dass die definierten Radsätze unter die gehobene Gleisbrücke durchfahren können.
Beim Ausfahren der Gleisbrücken ist darauf zu achten, dass die Seilschleifen der Triebstromrückführung nicht unzulässig unter Zugspannung geraten.
Nach Ausfahren der Gleisbrücken und Sichern des Drehgestells gegen Kippen wird der Radsatz mit Hilfe der Radsatzhebeeinrichtung gesenkt.
Der Spurkranz des Radsatzes ist möglichst nah in Richtung gesenkten Hallenboden zu fahren, um den Radsatz zwischen Hallenboden und Fahrzeugteilen (in Regel Teile am Drehgestell) ausfahren zu können.The wheel set changer 1 (RSW) is used by means of a forklift, not shown, in the existing working pit 2 of the elevated track section 3 in the area of the unit track bridge 4 accurately. Subsequently, the wheel set changer 1 is connected to the existing media ( FIG. 1 ). The wheel set changer 1 preferably has - not shown - hydraulically operated telescopic cylinder, which accomplish an extension of the changer to the wheelset 5 and lift it slightly, so that the corresponding fasteners on the bogie of the rail vehicle can be solved. Subsequently, the locking / unlocking device 6 of the unit track bridge 4 is unlocked and the unit track 4 moved sideways until the wheelset with its two bearing housings down and can be lowered so far that the wheelset by means of a mobile lifting vehicle, preferably a forklift is sideways removable. He is then exchanged for a new set of wheels.
Each locking / unlocking device 6 is composed of two receiving seats 7, which engage via a Kipphebelsystem 9 with locking pin 10 and tab 11 in the unlocking 8 of the Radsatzwechslers 1.
The elevated track and the unit track bridge sections on the uprights 12 are earthed in the area of the retractable unit track bridge 4, by means of a cable loop 13 or similar design as drive current feedback.
The RSW 1 must have a lifting device with a lifting capacity of> 250 kN (telescopic cylinder). The lifting device must pick up the wheel set to be replaced on the wheel flange. The wheelset must not move on the wheelset during lifting operations. The wheel set is to be raised so far that the track bridges are load-free and an operable wheelset with max. Manufacturing measuring circuit diameter can be installed. This means that the difference between the manufacturing and operating limit of the measuring circle diameter can be about 90 mm. In order to be able to easily retract the unit track bridges 4 with such a diameter difference, the wheelset to be exchanged, worn to the limit, must be raised approximately (4 cm + 2 cm) = 6 cm above the unit track bridges 4.
For some reason, the lift table will not always be able to lift the wheel set in the center. As far as the lifting table is lifted by a hydraulic cylinder, then act relatively high torques on the hydraulic cylinder with negative consequences for cylinder surfaces and seals. An alternative to the hydraulic lifting cylinder is a scissor lift table.
In the case of the track bridge extension devices, a distinction must be made between the non-extension side and the extension side. On the non-extension side, the track bridge of the extension device shall be received, unlocked and approximately 650 mm horizontally away from the track to the outside.
On the outgoing side, the track bridge taken up by the extension device must also be driven outwards behind the reference line for vehicles - approx. 910 mm from the track. At the same time or subsequently, the track bridge must be transported upwards - approx. 1700 mm, so that the defined wheelsets can pass under the elevated track bridge.
When extending the track bridges, care must be taken to ensure that the cable loops of the drive current feedback are not subject to excessive tension.
After extending the track bridges and securing the bogie against tipping the wheelset is lowered by means of Radsatzhebeeinrichtung.
The wheel flange of the wheelset should be as close as possible to the lowered hall floor in order to be able to extend the wheelset between the hall floor and vehicle parts (usually parts on the bogie).

Die Treibradsätze sind in der Regel mit Getriebeeinrichtungen ausgerüstet (Zahnrad, vollständiges Getriebe). Diese Einrichtungen können wie z. B. beim ICE 3 in seitlicher Richtung über den Spurkranz des Radsatzes hinausragen. Daher muss eine lichte Ausfahrbreite von 1600 mm vorgesehen werden.
Die Ausfahrtiefe ist so zu bemessen, dass

  • ein Gabelstapler den Radsatz in Querrichtung aufnehmen kann, d. h., die Zinken des Gabelstaplers fassen unter die Radsatzwelle.
  • der Gabelstapler zu Halleneinbauten (z. B. Laufsteg) einen Sicherheitsabstand von ca. 200 mm hat.
  • das Lagergehäuse des Radsatzes einen Sicherheitsabstand zu den betreffenden äußeren Bauteilen des RSW von ca. 200 mm hat.
The traction gear sets are usually equipped with gear devices (gear, complete transmission). These facilities can be such. B. protrude in the ICE 3 in the lateral direction over the wheel flange of the wheelset. Therefore, a clear extension width of 1600 mm must be provided.
The exit depth is to be measured so that
  • a forklift can take the wheelset in the transverse direction, that is, the forks of the forklift take under the wheelset shaft.
  • the forklift has a safety distance of approx. 200 mm to hall installations (eg catwalk).
  • The bearing housing of the wheelset has a safety distance to the relevant outer components of the RSW of about 200 mm.

Der auf dem Ausfahrwagen des RSW ausgefahrene Radsatz wird in der Regel von einem Gabelstapler aufgenommen und auf einer örtlich vorgehaltenen Zwischenablage abgesetzt.
Der funktionsfähige Radsatz wird im Allgemeinen mittels Gabelstapler von einer Zwischenablage genommen und auf die Aus-/Einfahreinrichtung des RSW abgelegt. Der Einbau erfolgt sinngemäß in umgekehrter Reihenfolge wie der Ausbau.The wheel set extended on the RSW trolley is usually picked up by a forklift truck and deposited on a locally stored clipboard.
The functioning wheelset is generally removed from a clipboard by means of a forklift and deposited on the extension / retraction device of the RSW. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
