Abstract

The invention relates to a method for ballast tamping a railway track by introducing a manual tamper (1) in the ballast. Before being introduced in the ballast, the manual tamper (1) is detachably connected via a fixation element (15) - which is attached to a tamping section (6) located between a drive motor (3) and a tamping blade (5) - to an anchor element (10) which is located opposite with respect to a tamping movement (18) and fixed to the railway track (9).

Description

Verfahren zum Unterstopfen eines Gleises  Method for submerging a track
[001] Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Unterstopfen eines Gleises  The invention relates to a method for submerging a track
durch einen Handstopfer.  by a handstopper.
[002] Vielfach bekannte Handstopfer werden in einem oberen, den Antrieb  Many known hand stoppers are in an upper, the drive
aufweisenden Abschnitt erfasst und mit einer in Vibration versetzten  detected section and with a vibrated
Stopfschaufel in den Schotter eingetaucht. Während des Eintauchvorganges wird versucht, durch ein Absenken des oberen Antriebabschnittes in  Plug bucket immersed in the ballast. During the immersion process, an attempt is made by lowering the upper drive section in
Richtung zur Bedienungsperson mit der Stopfschaufel eine  Direction to the operator with the paddle shovel
Verdichtbewegung in Richtung zur Schwelle zu erzielen. Die daraus resultierende Verdichtwirkung ist jedoch unbefriedigend, da der hinter der Stopfschaufel als eine Art Widerlager benutzte Schotter infolge der  To achieve compacting movement towards the threshold. However, the resulting compacting effect is unsatisfactory, since the ballast used behind the tamping blade as a kind of abutment due to
Vibrationen wenig Widerstand leistet.  Vibrations little resistance.
[003] Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung eines Verfahrens der eingangs genannten Art, mit dem eine verbesserte  The object of the present invention is now to provide a method of the type mentioned, with an improved
Schotterverdichtung erzielbar ist.  Ballast compaction is achievable.
[004] Diese Aufgabe wird mit erfindungsgemäß mit einem Verfahren der  This object is achieved according to the invention with a method of
gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, dass der Handstopfer vor dem Eintauchen in den Schotter durch ein - zwischen einem Antriebsmotor und einer Stopfschaufel gelegenen Stopferabschnitt befestigtes - Fixierorgan lösbar mit einem bezüglich einer Stopfbewegung  generic type achieved in that the hand stoppers prior to immersion in the ballast by a - fixed between a drive motor and a tamping padder portion fixed - Fixierorgan releasably with respect to a stuffing movement
gegenüberliegenden, am Gleis fixierten Ankerelement verbunden wird. [005] Durch diese kurzzeitige Verbindung mit dem Gleis wird ein nicht verschiebbares Widerlager geschaffen, so dass mit der opposite, fixed to the track anchor element is connected. By this short-term connection to the track a non-displaceable abutment is created, so that with the
Abwärtsbewegung des oberen Handstopferabschnittes eine  Downward movement of the upper hand restraint section
zwingende Gegenbewegung der Stopfschaufel in Richtung zur Schwelle erfolgt. Damit wird der Schotter zwangsläufig unter die Schwelle verdrängt und verdichtet.  urgent countermovement of the tamping blade takes place in the direction of the threshold. This will inevitably push the ballast below the threshold and compact it.
[006] 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 description of the drawings.
[007] Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 eine Ansicht von zwei Handstopfern in Schwellenlängsrichtung, Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht und Fig. 3 eine vereinfachte Darstellung einer weiteren Variante der Erfindung.  In the following the invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawing. 1 shows a view of two hand stoppers in the threshold longitudinal direction, FIG. 2 shows a plan view and FIG. 3 shows a simplified illustration of a further variant of the invention.
[008] In den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Handstopfer 1 weisen je einen in einem  In Fig. 1 to 3 Handstopfer 1 shown each have one in a
oberen Abschnitt 2 angeordneten Antriebsmotor 3 sowie Handgriffe 4 auf. Ein zwischen dem Antriebsmotor 3 und einer Stopfschaufel 5 vorgesehener mittlerer Stopferabschnitt 6 ist als eine Längsrichtung 7 aufweisendes Verbindungsrohr 17 ausgebildet, in dem eine nicht näher dargestellte Exzenterwelle in Rotation versetzt wird.  upper section 2 arranged drive motor 3 and 4 handles. A middle plugper portion 6 provided between the drive motor 3 and a stuffing paddle 5 is formed as a connecting tube 17 having a longitudinal direction 7 in which an eccentric shaft, not shown, is rotated.
[009] Oberhalb einer zu unterstopfenden Schwelle 8 eines Gleises 9 befindet sich ein als Schienenanker ausgebildetes Ankerelement 10, das durch einen Schnellverschluss 11 lösbar mit einer Schiene 12 verbunden ist und Haken 13 aufweist. Ein beispielsweise als Kette oder Seil ausgebildetes Fixierorgan 15 ist am Verbindungsrohr 17 in dessen näher zur Above a to be stuffed threshold 8 of a track 9 is designed as a rail anchor anchoring element 10 which is releasably connected by a quick release 11 with a rail 12 and hook 13 has. An example designed as a chain or rope Fixing member 15 is on the connecting pipe 17 in the closer to
Stopfschaufel 5 gelegenen Hälfte an einem Haken 14 befestigt.  Stopfschaufel 5 located half attached to a hook 14.
[010] Zur Durchführung des Stopfverfahrens wird nun der Haken 14 durch das Fixierorgan 15 mit einem Haken 13 des am Gleis fixierten Ankerelementes 10 verbunden. Um eine optimale Verdichtwirkung zu erzielen, wird der Handgriff 4 mit dem Antriebsmotor 3 in einer Arbeitsrichtung 16 zur To carry out the stuffing method, the hook 14 is now connected by the fixing member 15 to a hook 13 of the anchor element 10 fixed to the track. In order to achieve an optimum compression effect, the handle 4 with the drive motor 3 in a working direction 16 for
Bedienungsperson hin bewegt. Dies erzeugt auf Grund der Verbindung des mittleren Stopferabschnittes 6 mit dem Ankerelement 10 eine zwingende Stopfbewegung 18 der Stopfschaufel 5 in Richtung zur angrenzenden Schwelle 8.  Operator moved. Due to the connection of the central plugger section 6 with the anchor element 10, this produces a compelling plug movement 18 of the stuffing blade 5 in the direction of the adjacent threshold 8.
[011] Eine weitere Optimierung der Unterstopfung des Gleises 9 kann damit erzielt werden, dass zwei - bezüglich der zu unterstopfenden Schwelle 8 - einander gegenüberliegend positionierte und je mit dem Ankerelement 10 verbundene Handstopfer 1 synchron eingesetzt werden. Wie in Fig. 2 durch  A further optimization of the clogging of the track 9 can be achieved in that two - with respect to the threshold to be stuffed 8 - positioned opposite each other and each connected to the anchor element 10 Handstopfer 1 are used synchronously. As in Fig. 2 by
strichpunktierte Linien angedeutet, besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass mit vier je an das Ankerelement 10 angehängten Handstopfern 1 synchrone Stopfbewegungen zur Unterstopfung der Schwelle 8 durchgeführt werden.  dash-dotted lines indicated, there is also the possibility that with four each attached to the anchor element 10 hand stoppers 1 synchronous tamping movements to the clogging of the threshold 8 are performed.
[012] Nach ausreichender Verdichtung des Schotters wird das Fixierorgan 15 vom Ankerelement 10 gelöst. Nach Befestigung des Ankerelementes 10 oberhalb der nächstfolgenden Schwelle wiederholt sich das beschriebene  After sufficient compaction of the ballast, the fixing element 15 is released from the anchor element 10. After attachment of the anchor element 10 above the next threshold, the described is repeated
Stopfverfahren. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, das Ankerelement 10 direkt auf der Schwelle zu befestigen. Es könnte aber auch beispielsweise ein die Schiene 12 mit der Schwelle 8 verbindender Schienenclip od. dgl. als Stuffing. Of course, it is also possible to attach the anchor element 10 directly on the threshold. But it could also be an example Rail 12 with the threshold 8 connecting rail clip od. Like. As
Ankerelement zur Befestigung des Fixierorganes 15 am Gleis 9 verwendet werden. Anchor element for fixing the fixing member 15 are used on the track 9.
Zur Durchführung des anmeldungsgemäßen Verfahrens wäre es alternativ auch möglich, ausschließlich die als Ankerelement 10 dienenden Haken 14 zweier einander gegenüberliegender Handstopfer 1 durch das Fixierorgan 15 direkt miteinander zu verbinden (s. Fig. 3). Zur Erzielung einer bestmöglichen Schotterverdichtung sollte die Bewegung der beiden Handstopfer 1 in Arbeitsrichtung 16 weitgehend synchron durchgeführt werden. To carry out the method according to the application, it would alternatively also be possible to connect exclusively the hooks 14 of two opposing hand stoppers 1 serving as anchor element 10 directly to one another by the fixing element 15 (see FIG. To achieve the best possible ballast compaction, the movement of the two hand stoppers 1 in the working direction 16 should be carried out largely synchronously.
