Definitions

  • Rangiertechnische conveyor systems which are also referred to as railway wagon conveyor systems, are used in shunting systems of the railway, ie, for example, in drainage systems, in particular to promote the incoming in a directional track car or group of cars such or pushed together that the separate cars or groups of cars then without additional use of Rangierlok can be coupled.
  • Corresponding conveyor systems usually have trolleys that move staggered in the directional tracks individually or in sections. It is a fundamental prerequisite for a control of a conveyor-type conveyor system that the control device knows the position of the respective trolley.
  • the DE-A-198 55 930 shows a tram for a technical transport system.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a trolley for a public transport conveyor system, which allows a determination of its position in a comparatively simple and therefore inexpensive to implement and at the same time in operational practice particularly robust way.
  • a trolley for a conveyor-type conveying system wherein the trolley for detecting an approach of the trolley to a track-side position element has a plurality of transversely to its direction offset from each other arranged proximity sensors.
  • the trolley according to the invention is thus characterized in that it comprises a plurality of proximity sensors, which are designed to detect an approach of the trolley to a trackside position element. This can for example be done so that the proximity sensors output when approaching the trolley to the trackside position element, a detection signal.
  • a precise and unambiguous information about the position of the trolley is advantageously available, which can subsequently be used to control the trolley or the technical ranking conveyor system.
  • proximity sensors offer the advantage in particular that corresponding sensors, which are also referred to as proximity switches, proximity switches or proximity switches, are available comparatively inexpensively in a reliable and robust embodiment. Furthermore, the functionality of corresponding proximity sensors is largely independent of environmental influences such as rain, snow or ice, so that they are particularly suitable for use under the harsh operating conditions of a shunting.
  • the trolley according to the invention moreover has the particular advantage that the track-side position elements can be mounted with little effort.
  • the arrangement of the proximity sensors on the respective trolley thus results in lower costs and costs in terms the cables or cables as such and with regard to their laying and the installation of the trackside position elements.
  • the trolley according to the invention thus enables a particularly reliable and precise determination of the position of the trolley at comparatively low implementation costs.
  • the trolley according to the invention has a plurality of transverse to its direction offset from each other arranged proximity sensors.
  • This offers the advantage that, with a corresponding transversely to the running or moving direction of the trolley, ie rail transverse direction, staggered arrangement of track-side position elements, the proximity sensors can each be triggered by different track-side position elements.
  • This can for example be realized such that one of the proximity sensors exclusively detects an approach to one of the trackside position elements, while another of the proximity sensors detects only an approach of the trolley or the respective proximity sensor to another of the trackside position elements.
  • an unambiguous and reliable determination of the position of the trolley is therefore also possible in the case of multiple trackside position elements.
  • the proximity sensors used in connection with the trolley according to the invention may basically be proximity sensors or proximity switches of any type. This includes, for example, capacitive, magnetic or electromagnetic proximity sensors.
  • the at least one proximity sensor is designed as an inductive proximity sensor. This is advantageous because inductive proximity sensors allow reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects and are therefore widely used in the field of automation of systems of various types.
  • the trolley according to the invention can also be configured such that the trolley has an electronic processing device for processing detection signals of the at least one proximity sensor.
  • the trolley has an electronic processing device for processing detection signals of the at least one proximity sensor.
  • the electronic processing device and the at least one proximity sensor can also be embodied as a common component.
  • the trolley according to the invention can also be further developed in such a way that the trolley has a communication device for transmitting information to a track-side component of the conveyor-type conveyor system.
  • a communication device for transmitting information to a track-side component of the conveyor-type conveyor system.
  • the communication device can thus advantageously in particular a transmission of detection signals or information about such to the trackside component of the technical ranking conveyor system done.
  • a track-side component can be, for example, a control device of the conveyor-type conveyor system or else a further component connected in terms of communication technology with such a control device.
  • the information transmission from the communication device of the trolley to the trackside component can basically be done in any manner known per se. This includes in particular a wired or wired transmission, for example by means of a guided in a hoisting trolley of the trolley control and / or transmission line.
  • the communication device is designed for wireless information transmission to the track-side component.
  • the wireless information transmission from the communication device of the trolley to the track-side component can be radio-based, e.g. by means of any radio network known per se. This includes, for example, transmission via a mobile network according to the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) standard.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
  • the tram has a self-sufficient, non-wired energy supply. It is conceivable, for example, that the trolley has a generator for generating electrical energy and / or a rechargeable battery.
  • the invention further comprises a conveyor-type conveying system with at least one trolley according to the invention or at least one trolley according to one of the aforementioned preferred developments of the trolley according to the invention and with at least one track-side position element.
  • the advantages of the conveyor-type conveying system according to the invention correspond to those of the trolley according to the invention, so that in this regard reference is made to the corresponding explanations above.
  • the at least one track-side positioning element can in principle be designed in any desired manner. Of importance here is only that the respective trackside position element when approaching or passing by the trolley triggers or activates the respective proximity sensor of the trolley such that it outputs a detection signal, i. detects the trackside position element.
  • the at least one track-side positioning element or at least one of the track-side positioning elements is designed as a metal sheet. This is advantageously a simple, but at the same time reliable and robust way of execution of the trackside position elements.
  • the conveyor-type conveying system according to the invention can also be developed in such a way that the conveyor-type conveying system has a plurality of track-side positioning elements arranged offset from one another both in the rail longitudinal direction and in the rail transverse direction.
  • This offers the advantage that, due to the offset of the track-side positioning elements in the rail longitudinal direction, a determination of the position of the trolley at different locations or positions of the track section traveled by the trolley is made possible. Due to the offset of the trackside position elements in the rail transverse direction, it is still possible in this case that different proximity sensors of the trolley are triggered by the individual track-side position elements. As a result, a clear determination of the position of the trolley is thus possible in the case of a plurality of trackside position elements in a simple and robust manner.
  • the conveyor system according to the invention can also be designed such that it has a stationary control device which is designed to determine the position of the at least one trolley, taking into account at least one detection signal of the at least one proximity sensor of the respective trolley.
  • the stationary control device which can serve the partial or complete control of the technical ranking conveyor system or the entire shunting system, which is part of the Rangiertechnische conveyor system, it is thus possible, the at least one trolley, taking into account at least one detection signal of the at least one proximity sensor of the respective tram.
  • the stationary control device takes into account information relating to the occurrence of a corresponding detection signal and, if appropriate, the time of occurrence thereof.
  • the stationary control device is designed to determine the position of the at least one trolley with further consideration of measured data of a track-side encoder assigned to the respective trolley.
  • a track-side encoder assigned to the respective trolley.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a first schematic sketch, a first embodiment of the invention-based conveyor system with a first embodiment of the trolley according to the invention. Shown is a track 10, which is to be a directional track of a drainage system in the context of the described embodiment.
  • a trolley 20 can move, which is indicated only schematically in the illustration of the figures.
  • the trolley 20 next to the indicated components of course, on other components that are not shown in the figures for reasons of clarity and, for example, allow movement of the trolley 20 along the track 10 and the carriage of freight cars in the first place.
  • the latter has a proximity sensor 30, which is connected via a communication link 40 to an electronic processing device 50 of the trolley 20.
  • the electronic processing device 50 is further connected to a communication device 60, which is designed for wireless information transmission.
  • the trolley 20 passes in its movement along the track 10 of one of the trackside position elements 70, 71, 72, 73, at the moment in which, for example, the trackside position element 71 is detected by the proximity sensor 30, from the proximity sensor 30 is a detection Signal output.
  • This is transmitted via the communication link 40 to the electronic processing device 50, which then transmits via the communication device 60 corresponding position information - optionally connected to an associated time information - radio-based to a stationary control device 80.
  • the stationary control device 80 has a stationary communication device 90, which is designed for radio-based reception of the position information or of messages which contain the position information.
  • the position information itself may for example consist of or comprise a unique identifier of the proximity sensor 30, in which case the stationary control device 80 makes it possible to distinguish from those signals which it receives from proximity sensors of other trolleys. As a result, the stationary control device 80 is thus provided with information that the trolley 20 is in the area of one of the trackside position elements 70, 71, 72 or 73 or has just passed it or at the time indicated in the position information.
  • the stationary control device 80 for example, from one in the FIG. 1 Wegimpulsgeber not shown, which determines based on a hoisting rope of the trolley 20 whose position, receive additional measurement data. Even if the respective measurement data taken alone do not allow a determination of the position of the trolley 20 with sufficient accuracy, they are nevertheless suitable for determining in the respective situation which of the trackside position elements 70, 71, 72 or 73 is detected by the proximity sensor 30 has been. As a consequence, a calibration of the position encoder on the basis of detection signals of the proximity sensor 30 may additionally be possible.
  • FIG. 2 shows in a second schematic sketch, a second embodiment of the invention-based conveyor system with a second embodiment of the trolley according to the invention.
  • the trolley 20 according to FIG. 2 has four proximity sensors 31, 32, 33 and 34 arranged offset from one another in the transverse direction of the rail, which are respectively connected via communication links 41, 42, 43 and 44 to the electronic processing device 50.
  • Another difference to the embodiment of FIG. 1 is that in the region of the track 10 proximity sensors 31, 32, 33 and 34 are arranged, which are arranged offset not only in the rail longitudinal direction, but also in the rail transverse direction in each case.
  • the trackside position elements 74, 75, 76 and 77 are offset or staggered relative to one another in rail transverse direction in such a way that the proximity sensor 31 passes through the trackside position element 74, the proximity sensor 32 by the trackside position element 75, the proximity sensor 33 is triggered by the trackside position element 76 and the proximity sensor 34 by the trackside position element 77, while the proximity sensors 31, 32, 33, 34 by the respective other trackside position elements 74, 75, 76 and 77, respectively not affected.
  • a clear determination of the position of the trolley 20 is possible on the basis of a detection signal triggered by one of the proximity sensors 31, 32, 33 or 34. If, for example, a detection signal is output by the proximity sensor 32, then it can be clearly and unequivocally deduced from the electronic processing device 50 and / or the stationary control device 80 that the trolley 20 is located in the area of the trackside position element 75.
  • the trolley according to the invention described with reference to the preceding embodiments and the associated conveyor-type conveyor system have the particular advantage that they allow a reliable determination of the position of the respective trolley, the trenching conveyor system is at the same time relatively simple and therefore inexpensive to implement.
  • the reason for this is that the at least one proximity sensor is arranged on the respective trolley itself, whereby in the region of the track advantageously only passive elements in the form of the trackside position elements are needed.
  • the cost of corresponding cables or cables and their installation can be saved;
  • due to the simplified assembly of corresponding trackside position elements further savings can be made on expenses and costs.
