Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zur Erneuerung eines Gleises, mit einer Vorrichtung zur kontinuierlichen Ablage neuer Schwellen und einem endseitig jeweils auf einem Schienenfahrwerk abgestützten Maschinenrahmen, wobei an dessen - bezüglich einer Arbeitsrichtung der Maschine - vorderem Ende ein höhenverstellbares Raupenfahrwerk angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a machine for renewal of a track, with a device for the continuous storage of new sleepers and one end each supported on a rail chassis machine frame, at the - with respect to a working direction of the machine - front end a height-adjustable crawler chassis is arranged.

Eine derartige Maschine ist durch US 4 184 431 bekannt. Durch den Einsatz des Raupenfahrwerkes ist es möglich, die Maschine auf einem Schotterbett zu verfahren, um auf diesem neue Schwellen abzulegen. Grundsätzlich muss zwischen den beiden im Einsatz befindlichen und eine Umbaulücke begrenzenden Fahrwerken genügend Platz zur Verfügung stehen, um die Schwellenablage sowie die Einführung von vorgelagerten Schienen problemlos durchführen zu können. Andererseits geht aber auch ein Teil der Rahmenlänge durch die Positionierung mehrerer Fahrwerke am vorderen Rahmenende für die Arbeitseinrichtungen verloren. Die Gesamtlänge des Maschinenrahmens ist jedoch für eine Befahrbarkeit auch kleinerer Kurvenradien eingeschränkt.Such a machine is through US 4,184,431 known. By using the crawler undercarriage, it is possible to move the machine on a ballast bed in order to lay new sleepers on it. Basically, between the two in use and one Umbaulücke limiting chassis sufficient space must be available in order to easily perform the threshold storage and the introduction of upstream rails can. On the other hand, however, a part of the frame length is lost by the positioning of multiple trolleys at the front end of the frame for the work equipment. However, the overall length of the machine frame is limited for trafficability even of smaller curve radii.

Gemäß DE 2 928 152 ist es auch bekannt, an jedem Ende eines Maschinenrahmens zwei Schienenfahrwerke und jeweils dazwischen ein Raupenfahrwerk anzuordnen.According to DE 2 928 152 It is also known, at each end of a machine frame to arrange two rail bogies and each between a crawler undercarriage.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer gattungsgemäßen Maschine, bei der - auch bei Anordnung mehrerer Fahrwerke am vorderen Ende - noch eine ausreichend lange Umbaulücke für den Arbeitseinsatz zur Verfügung steht.The object of the present invention is now to provide a generic machine, in which - even with the arrangement of multiple trolleys at the front end - is still a sufficiently long Umbaulücke for labor use available.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved with a machine of the type mentioned by the cited in the characterizing part of claim 1 features.

Eine derartige zweiteilige Ausbildung des Maschinenrahmens hat den Vorteil, dass ein Teil der verfahrenstechnisch am vorderen Ende erforderlichen Fahrwerke im Bereich des vorderen Hilfsrahmens positionierbar sind. Damit kann die durch die Fahrwerke des Hauptrahmens begrenzte Umbaulücke möglichst lange ausgebildet werden. Durch die gelenkige Verbindung beider Rahmenteile ist die Maschine für eine Überstellfahrt uneingeschränkt und ohne aufwendige Umrüstarbeiten auf dem Gleis verfahrbar.Such a two-part design of the machine frame has the advantage that a part of the procedurally required at the front end suspensions are positioned in the region of the front subframe. Thus, the limited by the trolleys of the main frame Umbaulücke can be formed as long as possible. Due to the articulated connection of the two frame parts, the machine is unrestricted for a transfer travel and can be moved on the track without costly retooling.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Zeichnungsbeschreibung.Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the drawing description.

Im Folgenden wird die erfindungsgemäße Maschine anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht einer Maschine zur Erneuerung eines Gleises,
  • Fig. 2 eine vergrößerte Seitenansicht des vorderen Maschinenabschnittes.
In the following, the machine according to the invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a side view of a machine for renewal of a track,
  • Fig. 2 an enlarged side view of the front machine section.

Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Maschine 1 weist einen über Schienenfahrwerke 2 auf einem Gleis 3 verfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen 4 auf. Zwischen den Schienenfahrwerken 2 ist eine Vorrichtung 5 für eine kontinuierliche Ablage von neuen Schwellen 6 auf eine durch einen Pflug 7 planierte Schotterbettung 8 angeordnet. Höhenverstellbare Führungseinrichtungen 9 sorgen für ein Anheben von vorgelagerten Schienen 10 sowie deren Ablage auf den Schwellen 6. An die Maschine 1 sind weitere Waggons 11 für den Transport der Schwellen 6 sowie zur Aufnahme eines Portalkranes 12 angekuppelt.An in Fig. 1 illustrated machine 1 has a rail carriage 2 on a track 3 movable machine frame 4. Between the rail carriages 2, a device 5 for a continuous storage of new sleepers 6 is arranged on a ballast bed 8 leveled by a plow 7. Height-adjustable guide means 9 provide for lifting of upstream rails 10 and their storage on the sleepers 6. To the machine 1 more waggons 11 are coupled for the transport of the sleepers 6 and for receiving a gantry crane 12.

Wie insbesondere auch in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, setzt sich der Maschinenrahmen 4 aus einem - endseitig je durch ein zweiachsiges Schienenfahrwerk 2 abgestützten - Hauptrahmen 13 und einem mit diesem an dessen - bezüglich einer Arbeitsrichtung 17 - vorderem Ende 14 durch ein Gelenk 15 befestigten Hilfsrahmen 16 zusammen.As in particular in Fig. 2 it can be seen, the machine frame 4 is composed of a - each end supported by a two-axle rail chassis 2 - main frame 13 and a with this at its - with respect to a working direction 17 - front end 14 by a hinge 15 attached subframe 16 together.

Am vorderen Ende 14 des Hauptrahmens 13 ist ein durch einen Antrieb 18 höhenverstellbares und mit einem Fahrantrieb 19 ausgestattetes Raupenfahrwerk 20 angeordnet. Unmittelbar dahinter ist das vordere zweiachsige Schienenfahrwerk 2 mit dem Hauptrahmen 13 verbunden. Über diesem ist eine Arbeitskabine 21 positioniert.At the front end 14 of the main frame 13, a height adjustable by a drive 18 and equipped with a traction drive 19 crawler track 20 is arranged. Immediately behind is the front biaxial Rail chassis 2 connected to the main frame 13. Above this a work cabin 21 is positioned.

Der Hilfsrahmen 16 ist an einem vorderen, vom Gelenk 15 distanzierten Ende 22 mit einem einachsigen Schienenfahrwerk 23 sowie mit einer Fahrkabine 24 verbunden. Der Hilfsrahmen 16 weist außerdem noch ein zwischen Gelenk 15 und vorderstem Schienenfahrwerk 23 positioniertes, durch einen Antrieb 25 höhenverstellbares Hilfs-Schienenfahrwerk 26 auf. Das zur Verbindung von Haupt- und Hilfsrahmen 13, 16 vorgesehene, allseitig wirksame Gelenk 15 ist durch eine Blockiereinrichtung 27 blockierbar. Durch einen Antrieb 28 kann der Hilfsrahmen 16 relativ zum Hauptrahmen 13 höhenverstellt werden.The subframe 16 is connected at a front, spaced from the joint 15 end 22 with a uniaxial rail chassis 23 and a cab 24. The subframe 16 also has a still positioned between the joint 15 and foremost rail chassis 23, by a drive 25 height adjustable auxiliary rail chassis 26. The connection of the main and auxiliary frames 13, 16 provided, all-sided effective joint 15 can be blocked by a blocking device 27. By a drive 28, the subframe 16 can be adjusted in height relative to the main frame 13.

Im folgenden wird nun die Arbeitsweise der Maschine 1 näher beschrieben.The operation of the machine 1 will now be described in more detail.

In einer Umbaulücke wurde das alte Gleis bereits entfernt und die neuen Schienen 10 seitlich auf der freigelegten Schotterbettung 8 vorgelagert. Die Maschine 1 wird mit Hilfe der Schienenfahrwerke 2, 23 bis an das Ende des an die Umbaulücke angrenzenden Gleises 3 verfahren. Zur Überstellung in den Arbeitseinsatz wird der Hilfsrahmen 16 durch den Antrieb 28 derart angehoben, dass das Schienenfahrwerk 23 vom Gleis 3 abgehoben ist. Gleichzeitig erfolgt auch eine Aktivierung der Blockiereinrichtung 27, um eine unkontrollierte Verschwenkung des Hilfsrahmens 16 zu vermeiden.In a Umbaulücke the old track was already removed and the new rails 10 laterally upstream of the exposed gravel bed 8. The machine 1 is moved with the help of the rail bogies 2, 23 to the end of the track 3 adjacent to the Umbaulücke. To transfer to the work, the subframe 16 is raised by the drive 28 such that the rail carriage 23 is lifted from the track 3. At the same time, an activation of the blocking device 27 takes place in order to avoid an uncontrolled pivoting of the auxiliary frame 16.

Danach wird die Maschine 1 in Richtung zur Umbaulücke bewegt, bis sich das vordere Schienenfahrwerk 2 gerade noch auf dem Gleis befindet und das Raupenfahrwerk 20 auf die Schotterbettung 8 abgesenkt. Dadurch erfolgt ein Abheben des vorderen Schienenfahrwerkes 2 vom Gleis 3. Unter Beaufschlagung des Fahrantriebes 19 beginnt nun der Arbeitseinsatz der Maschine 1, wobei die neuen Schienen 10 durch die Führungseinrichtungen 9 angehoben und vor dem hinteren Schienenfahrwerk 2 der Maschine 1 auf die neuen Schwellen 6 abgelegt werden. Diese werden unmittelbar davor kontinuierlich mit Hilfe der Vorrichtung 5 auf die durch den Pflug 7 geebnete Schotterbettung 8 abgelegt.Thereafter, the machine 1 is moved in the direction of the Umbaulücke until the front rail chassis 2 is just on the track and lowered the crawler chassis 20 on the ballast bed 8. By acting on the traction drive 19 now begins the labor input of the machine 1, the new rails 10 raised by the guide means 9 and stored in front of the rear rail chassis 2 of the machine 1 on the new sleepers 6 become. These are immediately before stored continuously with the help of the device 5 on the leveled by the plow 7 gravel bed 8.

Sobald das vordere Ende der Umbaulücke erreicht ist, erfolgt eine Zentrierung des Hilfsrahmens 16 über dem angrenzenden Gleis, so dass das Schienenfahrwerk 23 sowie das Hilfs-Schienenfahrwerk 26 auf die Schienen des Gleises abstützbar sind. Danach erfolgt ein Anheben des Raupenfahrwerkes 20, und die Maschine 1 wird weiter in Arbeitsrichtung 17 verfahren, bis auch das vordere Schienenfahrwerk 2 des Hauptrahmens 13 auf dem Gleis aufliegt.As soon as the front end of the Umbaulücke has been reached, there is a centering of the subframe 16 on the adjacent track, so that the rail chassis 23 and the auxiliary rail chassis 26 are supported on the rails of the track. Thereafter, a raising of the crawler chassis 20, and the machine 1 is further moved in the direction 17, until the front rail chassis 2 of the main frame 13 rests on the track.
