Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Weiche umfassend Fahrschienen, Flügelschienen und ein Herzstück mit zwischen den Flügelschienen hin- und herbewegbarer Herzstückspitze, wobei die Fahrschienen und die Flügelschiene auf einer Schwelle befestigt sind, auf der eine Stelleinrichtung zum Verstellen der Herzstückspitze angeordnet ist, die über wenigstens eine Leitung mit einer Antriebseinrichtung verbunden ist.The invention relates to a switch comprising travel rails, wing rails and a frog with the frog point reciprocable between the wing rails, wherein the rails and the wing rail are mounted on a threshold on which an adjusting device for adjusting the frog point is arranged, which via at least one line is connected to a drive device.

Um Zungenschienen relativ zu Fahrschienen zwischen einer Anlageposition und einer Ablageposition zu verstellen, sind Stelleinrichtungen erforderlich, die über ein Verbindungsgestänge mit den Zungenschienen verbunden sind. Stelleinrichtungen sind auch bei Weichen mit einem Herzstück mit beweglicher Herzstückspitze für die Umstellung der Herzstückspitze zwischen den beiden Flügelschienen erforderlich. In beiden Fällen sind die Stelleinrichtung sowie das Verbindungsgestänge in der Regel zwischen zwei Schwellen, d.h. im sogenannten Schwellenfach oder in einer Hohltrogschwelle angeordnet, in der sich auch eine Antriebsvorrichtung, wie z.B. ein Hydraulikantrieb, befinden kann. Die Anordnung einer Stelleinrichtung für eine bewegliche Herzstückspitze samt Verbindungsgestänge im Schwellenfach bzw. in einer Trogschwelle ist beispielsweise in der EP 343150 A2 beschrieben.To adjust tongue rails relative to rails between an abutment position and a storage position, adjusting devices are required, which are connected via a connecting rod with the tongue rails. Adjustments are also required for switches with a centerpiece with movable frog tip for the conversion of the frog point between the two wing rails. In both cases, the adjusting device and the connecting linkage are usually between two thresholds, ie arranged in the so-called threshold compartment or in a hollow trough threshold, in which also a drive device, such as a hydraulic drive can be located. The arrangement of an adjusting device for a movable frog point together with connecting linkage in the sleeper compartment or in a trough threshold is for example in the EP 343150 A2 described.

Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass Trogschwellen spezielle Vorkehrungen im Bereich des Schottereinbaus erfordern, da Trogschwellen im Allgemeinen tiefer eingesetzt werden müssen als Standardschwellen. Folglich ist eine gesonderte Auskofferung des Schotterplanums an der Einbaustelle erforderlich.The disadvantage here is that trough sleepers require special provisions in the field of bulkhead installation, since trough sleepers must generally be used deeper than standard sleepers. Consequently, a separate Ausköseung the ballast at the installation site is required.

Bei der aus der DE 202010008526 U1 bekannt gewordenen Weiche gelingt es, die Stelleinrichtung sowie das Gestänge für die Umstellung der Zungenschien auf einer Standardbetonschwelle zu befestigen ohne dass die Schwelle in der Breite überragt wird. Damit wird der Einbau von Trogschwellen vermieden.At the time of the DE 202010008526 U1 become known switch manages the adjusting device and the linkage for the conversion of the tongue shin on a standard concrete threshold to attach without the threshold is surpassed in width. This avoids the installation of trough sleepers.

Die vorliegende Erfindung zielt nun darauf ab, die in der DE 202010008526 U1 beschriebene Bauart für die Umstellung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze zu adaptieren, wobei möglichst keine konstruktiven Änderungen im Gesamtaufbau der Weiche erforderlich sein sollen.The present invention now aims to the in the DE 202010008526 U1 described type for the conversion of the movable frog point to adapt, with as little structural changes in the overall structure of the switch should be required.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Weiche der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß derart weitergebildet, dass die Schwelle eine Betonschwelle quaderförmiger Geometrie mit einer Oberseite, die Oberseite begrenzenden, abgeschrägten Längsrändern und von den Längsrändern ausgehenden Seitenflächen ist, dass die Stelleinrichtung an der Oberseite der Schwelle zwischen einer Fahrschiene und einer Flügelschiene befestigt ist, dass die Antriebseinrichtung außerhalb der Fahrschienen angeordnet und vorzugsweise mit der Schwelle verbunden ist, dass die wenigstens eine die Antriebseinrichtung mit der Stelleinrichtung verbindende Leitung entlang der abgeschrägten Längsränder verläuft, wobei die Stelleinrichtung, die wenigstens eine Leitung und ggf. die Antriebseinrichtung innerhalb der Schwellenbreite verlaufen.To solve this problem, the switch of the type mentioned is inventively developed such that the threshold is a concrete sleeper cuboid geometry with an upper side, the top limiting beveled longitudinal edges and outgoing from the longitudinal edges side surfaces, that the actuating device at the top of the threshold between a Ride rail and a wing rail is fixed, that the drive device is arranged outside the rails and preferably connected to the threshold that the at least one connecting the drive device with the actuator line along the slanted longitudinal edges, wherein the adjusting device, the at least one line and possibly the drive device extend within the threshold width.

Erfindungsgemäß wird somit eine übliche Betonschwelle, insbesondere eine Normbetonschwelle zum Befestigen der Antriebs- und Stelleinrichtungen verwendet, wobei die zum Betätigen der beweglichen Herzstückspitze benötigten Bauelemente innerhalb der Schwellenbreite, d.h. insbesondere innerhalb einer Umhüllenden verlaufen, die seitlich von den Betonschwellen-Seitenflächen bzw. deren Verlängerungen begrenzt ist. Somit stehen keine Elemente seitlich über die Schwelle vor, so dass ein Stopfen im Weichenbereich gleichermaßen wie im Gleis selbst erfolgen kann.According to the invention, therefore, a conventional concrete sleeper, in particular a standard concrete sleeper, is used for fastening the drive and adjusting devices, wherein the components required for actuating the movable frog tip extend within the threshold width, ie in particular within an envelope, laterally from the concrete sleeper side surfaces or their extensions is limited. Thus, no elements are present laterally beyond the threshold, so that a plug in the switch area can be done equally as in the track itself.

Ferner ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass der Aufbau homogen ist, d.h. die Schwellen bleiben durchgehend im Weichenbereich baugleich, unabhängig davon, ob ein Antrieb für ein bewegliches Herzstück vorgesehen ist oder nicht. Die Anordnung der Stelleinrichtung, der wenigstens einen Leitung und ggf. der Antriebseinrichtung innerhalb der Schwellenbreite bedeutet hierbei bevorzugt, dass die genannten Baueinheiten in der Normalprojektion nicht über das breiteste Maß der Schwelle vorstehen.Furthermore, there is the advantage that the construction is homogeneous, i. the sleepers stay the same throughout the turnout area, regardless of whether a drive for a moving centerpiece is provided or not. The arrangement of the adjusting device, the at least one line and possibly the drive device within the threshold width here means preferably that the units in the normal projection do not protrude over the widest measure of the threshold.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht einen einfachen Einbau der Weiche, da keine speziellen Vorkehrungen im Bereich des Schottereinbaus notwendig sind, wie dies bei Stahltrogschwellen der Fall ist, die grundsätzlich tiefer als Standardschwellen eingesetzt werden müssen. Weiters ergeben sich identische Schienenlagerungen und Schienenbefestigungen wie bei Schwellen, die keinen Weichenantrieb aufweisen.The invention allows a simple installation of the switch, as no special precautions in the field of bulkhead installation are necessary, as is the case with steel trough sleepers, which must be used in principle deeper than standard sleepers. Furthermore, there are identical rail bearings and rail fastenings as in sleepers that have no points drive.

Die insbesondere als Hydraulikeinheit ausgebildete Antriebseinrichtung ist vorzugsweise in einem Endbereich der Schwelle außerhalb der Fahrschienen mit der Betonschwelle verbunden, wobei ggf. eine Halterung von der Schwelle ausgehen kann, die sich über die Stirnseite der Betonschwelle hinaus erstreckt, um somit hinreichend Platz zum Befestigen der Antriebseinrichtung zur Verfügung stellen zu können. Unabhängig hiervon ist jedoch die Breitenerstreckung der Halterung und der Antriebseinrichtung bevorzugt so gewählt, dass diese sich grundsätzlich innerhalb der Breite der Betonschwelle befinden. Dabei ist die Aufbauhöhe sowohl der Stelleinrichtung als auch der Antriebseinrichtung bevorzugt so gewählt, dass eine Kollision mit dem Lichtraumprofil ausgeschlossen ist.The drive device, which is designed in particular as a hydraulic unit, is preferably connected to the concrete sleeper in an end region of the sleeper outside the rails, wherein a bracket may extend from the sleeper that extends beyond the front side of the concrete sleeper, thus providing sufficient space for securing the drive device to make available. Regardless of this, however, the width extension of the holder and the drive device is preferably selected so that they are basically within the width of the concrete sleeper. In this case, the assembly height of both the adjusting device and the drive device is preferably selected so that a collision with the clearance gauge is excluded.

Wenn, wie dies einer bevorzugten Ausbildung entspricht, die Antriebseinrichtung als Hydraulikeinheit ausgebildet ist, ist diese über die wenigstens eine als Hydraulikleitung ausgebildete Leitung mit der Stelleinrichtung hydraulisch verbunden.If, as corresponds to a preferred embodiment, the drive device is designed as a hydraulic unit, is this is hydraulically connected via the at least one designed as a hydraulic line line with the actuator.

In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Hydraulikleitungen und erfindungsgemäß das die Stelleinrichtung und die bewegliche Herzstückspitze verbindende Verbindungsgestänge innerhalb der Breite der Betonschwelle angeordnet. Das von der Stelleinrichtung ausgehende Verbindungsgestänge umfasst neben einer für die Umstellung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze verantwortlichen Stellstange ggf. auch eine Prüferstange für eine Endlagenprüfeinrichtung. Um die Anordnung des Verbindungsgestänges innerhalb der Schwellenbreite in einfacher Weise zu bewerkstelligen, sind die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange erfindungsgemäß unterhalb des Schienenfußes einer Flügelschiene hindurchgeführt. Insbesondere kann in diesem Zusammenhang vorgesehen sein, dass die Flügelschiene mit einer gegenüber der Herzstückspitze verringerten Höhe ausgebildet ist und dass die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange durch einen Freiraum zwischen dem Schienenfuß der Flügelschiene und der Oberseite der Schwelle hindurchgeführt sind. Die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange können hierbei gerade ausgeführt sein, d.h. ohne Verkröpfung, so dass sich ein optimaler Kraftfluss ergibt. Dabei greifen die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange bevorzugt am Schienenfuß der Herzstückspitze an.Advantageously, the hydraulic lines and according to the invention the connection linkage connecting the setting device and the movable frog tip are arranged within the width of the concrete sleeper. If necessary, the connection linkage emanating from the setting device also comprises, in addition to a control rod responsible for the changeover of the movable frog tip, also a checker rod for an end position test device. In order to accomplish the arrangement of the connecting linkage within the threshold width in a simple manner, the control rod and possibly the Prüferstange are inventively passed below the rail foot of a wing rail. In particular, it can be provided in this context that the wing rail is formed with a reduced height relative to the frog tip and that the control rod and possibly the Prüferstange are passed through a space between the rail of the wing rail and the top of the threshold. The control rod and possibly the Prüferstange can be made straight here, i. without cranking, resulting in an optimal power flow. In this case, the adjusting rod and optionally the Prüferstange preferably engage the rail of the frog tip.

Damit Relativverschiebungen der beweglichen Herzstückspitze relativ zur die Stelleinrichtung tragenden Schwelle nicht zur Einleitung unerwünschter Kräfte auf die Stellstange und die Stelleinrichtung führen, sieht eine bevorzugte Ausbildung vor, dass die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange jeweils über einen eine wenigstens zweiachsige Schwenkbewegung erlaubenden Schwenkmechanismus, insbesondere ein Kugelgelenk, an der Stelleinrichtung angelenkt sind. Zudem ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange jeweils um eine vertikale Schwenkachse schwenkbar am Schienenfuß der beweglichen Herzstückspitze angelenkt sind.In order that relative displacements of the movable frog point relative to the actuating device carrying threshold do not lead to the initiation of undesirable forces on the control rod and the actuator, provides a preferred embodiment that the control rod and possibly the Prüferstange each have a at least two-axis pivoting movement permitting swivel mechanism, in particular Ball joint, are hinged to the adjusting device. In addition, the invention provides that the control rod and possibly the Prüferstange are each articulated about a vertical pivot axis pivotally mounted on the rail of the movable frog tip.

Die Verbindung des Gestänges mit der Herzstückspitze erfolgt konstruktiv in besonders einfacher Weise dadurch, dass die Stellstange und ggf. die Prüferstange über einen den Schienenfuß umgreifenden Gabelkopf an der beweglichen Herzstückspitze angreifen.The connection of the linkage with the frog point is structurally in a particularly simple manner in that the control rod and possibly the Prüferstange attack over a rail foot engaging around the clevis on the movable frog point.

Eine verbesserte Stabilität der Herzstückspitze wird bevorzugt dadurch sichergestellt, dass die Flügelschienen mit einem asymmetrischen Zungenschienenprofil ausgebildet sind.An improved stability of the frog point is preferably ensured by the fact that the wing rails are formed with an asymmetric tongue rail profile.

Bevorzugt liegen die Stelleinrichtung, die Flügelschienen und die Herzstückspitze nicht unmittelbar auf der Betonschwelle auf, sondern auf einer Grundplatte, die ggf. unter Zwischenschaltung einer elastischen Unterlagsplatte auf der Betonschwelle angeordnet ist. Insbesondere die bewegliche Herzstückspitze ist an der auf der Schwelle angeordneten Grundplatte gleitend gelagert, sodass diese Grundplatte als Gleitstuhl für die Herzstückspitze fungiert.Preferably, the adjusting device, the wing rails and the frog point are not directly on the concrete sleeper, but on a base plate, which is optionally arranged with the interposition of an elastic base plate on the concrete sleeper. In particular, the movable frog point is slidably mounted on the arranged on the threshold base plate, so that this base plate acts as a sliding chair for the frog point.

Die Grundplatte ist bevorzugt über wenigstens ein in eine Aussparung der Betonschwelle einschraubbares Befestigungselement mit der Betonschwelle verbunden, wobei die Stelleinrichtung mit der Betonschwelle über das wenigstens eine Befestigungselement verbunden ist. Dies schließt jedoch nicht aus, dass weitere Befestigungselemente vorgesehen sind, die ggf. in gesondert einzubringende Bohrungen einschraubbar sind, die von der Oberseite der Betonschwelle ausgehen.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Ausschnitt einer Weiche 1 dargestellt, umfassend Fahrschienen 2 sowie ein Herzstück mit einer beweglichen, zwischen den beiden Flügelschienen 3 hin und her beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4. Die Fahrschienen 2 sowie die Flügelschienen 3 sind auf mehreren Betonschwellen 5 befestigt. Die Befestigung der Fahrschienen 2 erfolgt jeweils über an Betonschwellen 5 angebrachten Befestigungsplatten 6 und herkömmliche, den Schienenfuß der Fahrschiene 2 niederspannende Schienenbefestigungsmittel.In Fig. 1 a section of a switch 1 is shown, comprising rails 2 and a centerpiece with a movable, movable between the two wing rails 3 frog tip 4. The rails 2 and the wing rails 3 are mounted on a plurality of concrete sleepers 5. The mounting of the rails 2 is carried out via attached to concrete sleepers 5 mounting plates 6 and conventional, the rail of the rail 2 low-voltage rail fastening means.

Zur Umstellung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 ist eine als Hydraulikeinheit ausgebildete Antriebseinheit 7 vorgesehen, die außerhalb der Fahrschienen 2 an der Schwelle 5 befestigt ist. Die Befestigung ist in Fig. 3 deutlicher dargestellt, wobei ersichtlich ist, dass die Halterung bzw. das Gestell, von dem die Antriebseinrichtung 7 ausgeht, einen sich entlang der Oberseite der Schwelle 5 erstreckenden plattenförmigen Basisabschnitt 8 aufweist, der sich über die Stirnfläche 9 der Betonschwelle 5 hinaus erstreckt, wobei außerhalb der Betonschwelle 5 von dem Bereich des Basisabschnitts 8 abgewinkelte Schenkel 10 verlaufen, die sich mit ihren Querrändern an der Stirnfläche 9 der Betonschwelle 5 abstützen, sodass eine hinreichende Stabilität gegeben ist. Anstelle einer Erstreckung der Halterung der Antriebseinrichtung 7 über die Stirnseite 9 der Schwelle 5 hinaus, besteht auch die Möglichkeit, eine Standardschwelle zu verlängern, sodass auf dieser in einem Endbereich eine Platte befestigt wird, von der die Antriebseinrichtung 7 ausgeht. In diesem Falle ist es nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass die Platte 8 die Stirnseite 9 der Schwelle 5 überragt. Die Antriebseinheit kann auch außerhalb der Schwelle auf einer separaten Grundplatte befestigt werden.To convert the movable frog tip 4 designed as a hydraulic unit drive unit 7 is provided, which is fixed outside of the rails 2 at the threshold 5. The attachment is in Fig. 3 more clearly shown, wherein it can be seen that the holder or the frame from which the drive means 7 emanating, extending along the top of the threshold 5 extending plate-shaped base portion 8, which extends beyond the end face 9 of the concrete sleeper 5 also outside the concrete sleeper 5 run from the region of the base portion 8 angled leg 10, which are supported with their transverse edges on the end face 9 of the concrete sleeper 5, so that a sufficient stability is given. Instead of an extension of the holder of the drive device 7 on the front side 9 of the threshold 5 addition, it is also possible to extend a standard threshold, so that on this in an end region a plate is fastened, from which the drive means 7 goes out. In this case, it is not absolutely necessary that the plate 8 projects beyond the end face 9 of the threshold 5. The drive unit can also be mounted outside the threshold on a separate base plate.

Zwischen einer Flügelschiene 3 und einer Fahrschiene 2 ist an der Oberseite der Schwelle 5 eine Stelleinrichtung 11 befestigt, die über Leitungen 12 mit der Antriebseinrichtung 7 hydraulisch verbunden ist. In der Stelleinrichtung 11 wird der von der Antriebseinheit 7 zur Verfügung gestellte Hydraulikdruck beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines hydraulischen Zylinderkolbenaggregates in eine Stellbewegung in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 13 umgesetzt. Von der Stelleinrichtung 11 geht eine Stellstange 15 aus, die am Schienenfuß des beweglichen Herzstücks 4 angreift, um das bewegliche Herzstück 4 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 13 hin und her bewegen zu können. Die Stelleinrichtung 11 kann neben dem weichenantrieb eine in diese integrierte weichenverschlusseinrichtung sowie eine gesonderte Endlagenprüfeinrichtung aufweisen. Der Weichenverschluss dient hierbei der Fixierung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 in ihrer jeweiligen Endlage. Die Endlagenprüfeinrichtung dient dazu, den aktuellen Zustand der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 mechanisch abzutasten und ein Prüfsignal zu erzeugen, anhand dessen zuverlässig festgestellt werden kann, ob die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4 korrekt umgestellt wurde und ob sich die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4 in ihrer jeweiligen korrekten Endlage befindet. Die Endlagenprüfeinrichtung weist zu diesem Zweck eine Prüferstange 14 auf, welche sich im Wesentlichen quer zur Schienenlängsrichtung erstreckt und welche beim Umstellen des beweglichen Herzstücks 4 in Längsrichtung der Stange verschoben wird. Die Position der Prüferstange 14 wird in der Stelleinrichtung 11 mit Hilfe von elektromechanischen Wandlern erfasst, beispielsweise in der Form von Endschaltern oder Zungenprüfkontakten.Between a wing rail 3 and a running rail 2, an adjusting device 11 is attached to the top of the threshold 5, which is hydraulically connected via lines 12 to the drive means 7. In the adjusting device 11 of the drive unit 7 made available hydraulic pressure is converted, for example by means of a hydraulic cylinder piston unit in an actuating movement in the direction of the double arrow 13. From the adjusting device 11 is an adjusting rod 15, which engages the rail of the movable core 4, in order to move the movable core 4 in the direction of the double arrow 13 back and forth. The adjusting device 11 may have, in addition to the soft drive integrated in this soft-closing device and a separate Endlagenprüfeinrichtung. The switch lock serves to fix the movable frog point 4 in its respective end position. The Endlagenprüfeinrichtung serves to mechanically scan the current state of the movable frog tip 4 and to generate a test signal, by means of which it can be reliably determined whether the movable frog tip 4 has been changed over correctly and whether the movable frog tip 4 is in its respective correct end position. The Endlagenprüfeinrichtung has for this purpose a Prüferstange 14, which extends substantially transversely to the rail longitudinal direction and which is displaced when moving the movable core 4 in the longitudinal direction of the rod. The position of the Prüfer rod 14 is detected in the adjusting device 11 by means of electromechanical transducers, for example in the form of limit switches or tongue test contacts.

In der Schnittansicht gemäß Fig. 2 ist schematisch der Querschnitt der Betonschwelle 5 dargestellt, und es ist ersichtlich, wie die Hydraulikleitungen 12 angeordnet sind und unterhalb der Fahrschiene 2 hindurchgeführt werden können. Die Betonschwelle 5 weist eine Quader- oder Blockgeometrie mit abgeschrägten, also gefasten oberen Längskanten 16 auf, die zum einen seitlich die Oberseite 17 der Betonschwelle 5 und zum anderen deren Seitenflächen 18 begrenzen. An der Oberseite 17 der Betonschwelle ist die in Fig. 2 der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht dargestellte Fahrschiene befestigt. Die Hydraulikleitungen 12 verlaufen entlang der abgeschrägten Längskanten 16 der Betonschwelle 5, sodass sie einerseits unterhalb des Schienenfußes der Fahrschiene 2 hindurchgeführt werden können, andererseits aber seitlich nicht über die Breite B der Betonschwelle 5 hervorstehen.In the sectional view according to Fig. 2 schematically, the cross section of the concrete sleeper 5 is shown, and it can be seen how the hydraulic lines 12 are arranged and can be passed below the rail 2. The concrete sleeper 5 has a cuboid or block geometry with bevelled, ie beveled upper longitudinal edges 16 which laterally delimit the upper side 17 of the concrete sleeper 5 and the other side surfaces 18 thereof. At the top 17 of the concrete sleeper is the in Fig. 2 attached for clarity, not shown running rail. The hydraulic lines 12 extend along the chamfered longitudinal edges 16 of the concrete sleeper 5, so that they can be guided on the one hand below the rail foot of the running rail 2, but on the other hand not protrude laterally beyond the width B of the concrete sleeper 5.

In Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass auch die Antriebseinheit 7 und die Stelleinrichtung 11 eine derartige Breite aufweisen, dass die Breite B der Betonschwelle 5 nicht überragt wird.In Fig. 1 it can be seen that the drive unit 7 and the adjusting device 11 have a width such that the width B of the concrete sleeper 5 is not surmounted.

In der Seitenansicht gemäß Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, dass die Flügelschienen 3 und das bewegliche Herzstück 4 auf einer Grundplatte 19 befestigt sind, wobei die Flügelschienen 3 mit einer gegenüber der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 verringerten Höhe ausgebildet sind und jeweils auf einem Schienenstuhl 20 abgestützt sind. Am Schienenstuhl 20 greifen jeweils seitliche Abstützungen 21 an, welche die Flügelschienen 3 gegen ein Verkippen abstützen. Die Grundplatte 19 und die Befestigungsplatte 6 der in der Zeichnung links dargestellten Fahrschiene 2 sind jeweils mit Hilfe einer Befestigungsschraube 22 an der Schwelle 5 befestigt. Mit diesen Befestigungsschrauben 22 wird gleichzeitig die Stelleinrichtung 11 mitgehalten, wobei die Stelleinrichtung 11 über weitere Befestigungsschrauben 23 mit der Betonschwelle 5 verschraubt ist. Die Stelleinrichtung 11 umfasst hierbei ein Gehäuse, dessen jeweiliger stirnseitiger Bereich über eine Montageplatte 24 mit der Betonschwelle 5 verbunden ist, die ihrerseits versetzt zueinander verlaufende Bodenflächen aufweist, von denen eine auf der Oberseite der Schwelle 5 und die andere auf der Grundplatte 19 bzw. der Befestigungsplatte 6 aufliegt. Somit weist die Montageplatte 24 bodenseitig eine Stufe auf, deren Höhe an die Grundplatte 19 bzw. die Rippenplatte 6 angepasst ist.In the side view according to Fig. 3 It can be seen that the wing rails 3 and the movable core 4 are mounted on a base plate 19, wherein the wing rails 3 are formed with a relation to the movable frog point 4 reduced height and are each supported on a rail chair 20. On rail chair 20 each lateral supports 21, which support the wing rails 3 against tilting. The base plate 19 and the mounting plate 6 of the left in the drawing illustrated rail 2 are each using a mounting screw 22 at the threshold 5 attached. With these fastening screws 22, the adjusting device 11 is held at the same time, wherein the adjusting device 11 is bolted to the concrete sleeper 5 via further fastening screws 23. The adjusting device 11 in this case comprises a housing, the respective frontal region is connected via a mounting plate 24 with the concrete sleeper 5, which in turn has mutually offset bottom surfaces, one of which on the top of the threshold 5 and the other on the base plate 19 and Fixing plate 6 rests. Thus, the mounting plate 24 on the bottom side a step whose height is adapted to the base plate 19 and the ribbed plate 6.

In der Detaildarstellung gemäß Fig. 4 ist die von der Stelleinrichtung 11 ausgehende Stellstange 15 sowie die Prüferstange 14 besser ersichtlich. Die Verbindung der Stelleinrichtung 11 mit der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 ist in der Detailansicht gemäß Fig. 5 gezeigt. In Fig. 5 ist lediglich die Stellstange 15 dargestellt. Die nachfolgender Erläuterungen gelten jedoch analog auch für die Prüferstange 14. Die Stellstange 15 ist über ein Kugelgelenk 25 mit einem in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 13 angetriebenen Stellelement mit der Stelleinrichtung 11 verbunden. Am gegenüberliegenden Ende ist die Stellstange über einen Gabelkopf 26 am Schienenfuß 27 des beweglichen Herzstücks 4 angelenkt. Der Gabelkopf 26 umfasst hierbei mit seinem gabelförmigen Ende den Schienenfuß 27 des beweglichen Herzstücks 4. Die Anlenkung des Gabelkopfes 26 erfolgt hierbei gelenkig, wobei die Schwenkachse mit 28 bezeichnet ist. Um die Anordnung der Stellstange 15 unterhalb der Flügelschienen 3 zu erlauben, weisen die Flügelschienen 3 ein im Vergleich zur beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 niedrigeres Schienenprofil auf, wobei die Flügelschiene 3 auf einem erhöhten Schienenstuhl 20 abgestützt sind. Wie in Fig. 6 ersichtlich, weist der Schienenstuhl 20 eine relativ geringe Breite auf, sodass die Stellstange 15 und die Prüferstange 14 seitlich des Schienenstuhls 20 vorbeigeführt werden können, ohne dass sie über die Breite B der Betonschwelle 5 vorragen.In the detail view according to Fig. 4 the outgoing from the actuator 11 control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 is better visible. The connection of the adjusting device 11 with the movable frog tip 4 is in the detail view according to Fig. 5 shown. In Fig. 5 only the control rod 15 is shown. However, the following explanations apply analogously to the Prüferstange 14. The control rod 15 is connected via a ball joint 25 with a driven in the direction of the double arrow 13 actuator with the adjusting device 11. At the opposite end of the control rod is articulated via a clevis 26 on the rail 27 of the movable core 4. The clevis 26 in this case includes with its fork-shaped end the rail foot 27 of the movable core 4. The articulation of the clevis 26 takes place here articulated, wherein the pivot axis is denoted by 28. In order to allow the arrangement of the control rod 15 below the wing rails 3, the wing rails 3 a lower rail profile compared to the movable frog tip 4, the wing rail 3 are supported on a raised rail chair 20. As in Fig. 6 can be seen, the rail chair 20 a relatively small width, so that the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 can be guided laterally of the rail chair 20, without that they project beyond the width B of the concrete sleeper 5.

Die seitliche Abstützung der Flügelschienen 3 erfolgt mit Hilfe von Abstützelementen 21, die am Schienenstuhl 20 befestigt sind. Der Schienenstuhl 20 weist zu diesem Zweck seitliche Ausnehmungen 29 auf, die einen verbreiterten Kopf 30 eines Schraubbolzens 31 übergreifen. Am freien Ende der Schraubbolzen 31 ist jeweils ein Gewinde angebracht, auf das nicht näher dargestellte Schraubenmuttern aufgeschraubt werden können, um die seitlichen Abstützelemente 21 gegen den Schienenfuß 32 der Flügelschienen 3 zu spannen. Die seitlichen Abstützungen 22 stützen sich weiters über ein plattenförmiges Element 33 am Steg 34 der Flügelschienen 3 ab, wobei die Verbindung des plattenförmigen Elements 33 am Steg 34 mit Hilfe einer schematisch angedeuteten Verschraubung 35 erfolgt.The lateral support of the wing rails 3 takes place by means of supporting elements 21 which are fastened to the rail chair 20. The rail chair 20 has for this purpose lateral recesses 29 which engage over a widened head 30 of a bolt 31. At the free end of the bolt 31, a thread is mounted in each case, can be screwed onto the nuts not shown, to tension the lateral support members 21 against the rail foot 32 of the wing rails 3. The lateral supports 22 are further supported by a plate-shaped element 33 on the web 34 of the wing rails 3, wherein the connection of the plate-shaped element 33 takes place on the web 34 by means of a schematically indicated screw 35.

In den Fig. 5 und 6 ist weiters ersichtlich, dass die Grundplatte 19 unter Zwischenschaltung einer elastischen Auflage 36 auf der Betonschwelle 5 aufliegt.In the Fig. 5 and 6 is further seen that the base plate 19 rests on the concrete sleeper 5 with the interposition of an elastic support 36.

In den Fig. 7 bis 11 sind abgewandelte Ausführungsformen dargestellt, bei denen die Flügelschienen 3 im Unterschied zur Ausbildung gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 6 nicht mit einem asymmetrischen Schienenprofil ausgebildet sind, sondern mit einem Dicksteg-Schienenprofil. Dies dient dazu, Radlasten von ca. 40 Tonnen oder mehr, welche direkt auf die Flügelschiene wirken, im Bereich der Herzstückspitze besser aufnehmen zu können. Für gleiche Teile wurden die in den Fig. 1 bis 6 verwendeten Bezugszeichen beibehalten.In the Fig. 7 to 11 modified embodiments are shown in which the wing rails 3 in contrast to the training according to the Fig. 1 to 6 are not formed with an asymmetric rail profile, but with a thick web rail profile. This serves to be able to absorb wheel loads of about 40 tons or more, which act directly on the wing rail, better in the area of the frog point. For the same parts were in the Fig. 1 to 6 used reference numerals.

In Fig. 7 ist ein Ausschnitt der nicht erfindungsgemäßen Weiche im Bereich des beweglichen Herzstückes 4 dargestellt, wobei ersichtlich ist, dass die seitlichen Abstützungen 21 der Flügelschienen 3 nicht dargestellt sind. Von der Stelleinrichtung 11 gehen wiederum eine Stellstange 15 und eine Prüferstange 14 aus, die am Schienenfuß 27 der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 befestigt sind. Die Stellstange 15 und die Prüferstange 14 sind unter der Flügelschiene 3 hindurchgeführt, wie dies besser in Fig. 8 ersichtlich ist. Die Flügelschienen 3 sind nun mit derselben Profilhöhe ausgeführt wie die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4, sodass die Befestigung der Stellstange 15 und der Prüferstange 14 an den Schienenfuß 27 der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 von unten erfolgen muss. Für die Abstützung der Flügelschienen 3 ist im Gegensatz zur Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 1 bis 6 ein einfacherer (nicht dargestellter) Schienenstuhl 20 vorgesehen, da die Flügelschiene 3 genauso wie die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4 unmittelbar auf der Grundplatte 19 aufliegen. Die Befestigung der Stellstange 15 und der Prüferstange 14 am Schienenfuß 27 erfolgt mittels einer Schwalbenschwanzverbindung. Die Unterseite des Schienenfußes 27 der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 ist im Bereich der Anbindung des Gestänges mit einer Schwalbenschwanzausfräsung 37 versehen, die von dem zweiteilig ausgebildeten Anbindungsstück 38 der Stellstange 15 bzw. der Prüferstange 14 formschlüssig umfasst wird. Dabei werden die beiden Hälften des Anbindungsstückes 38 mittels einer Schraube von beiden Seiten gegen die Schwalbenschwanzausfräsung 37 gespannt. Zur weiteren Lagestabilisierung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 in der jeweiligen Anlage an die Flügelschienen 3 ist eine seitliche Einfräsung bzw. Abschrägung 39 am Schienenfuß der Flügelschiene 3 vorgesehen, die der Außenkontur des Anbindungsstücks 38 entspricht.In Fig. 7 a section of the non-inventive switch in the region of the movable core 4 is shown, wherein it is apparent that the lateral supports 21 of the wing rails 3 are not shown. From the adjusting device 11 in turn go from an adjusting rod 15 and a Prüferstange 14, which are attached to the rail 27 of the movable frog tip 4. The control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 are passed under the wing rail 3, as better in Fig. 8 is apparent. The wing rails 3 are now carried out with the same profile height as the movable frog point 4, so that the attachment of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 must be made to the rail 27 of the movable frog tip 4 from below. For the support of the wing rails 3 is in contrast to the training according to Fig. 1 to 6 a simpler (not shown) rail chair 20 is provided, since the wing rail 3 as well as the movable frog point 4 rest directly on the base plate 19. The attachment of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 on the rail 27 by means of a dovetail connection. The underside of the rail foot 27 of the movable frog tip 4 is provided in the region of the connection of the linkage with a dovetail cutout 37, which is positively enclosed by the two-piece connection piece 38 of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14. The two halves of the connecting piece 38 are clamped by a screw from both sides against the dovetail cutout 37. To further stabilize the position of the movable frog point 4 in the respective abutment with the wing rails 3, a lateral milled recess or chamfer 39 is provided on the rail foot of the wing rail 3, which corresponds to the outer contour of the connecting piece 38.

Wie aus der Fig. 9 hervorgeht, werden die Stellstange 15 und die Prüferstange 14 zwischen der Oberseite der Schwelle 5 und der Unterseite des Schienenfußes der Flügelschienen 3 innerhalb der Bauhöhe der Grundplatte 19 durchgeführt.Like from the Fig. 9 shows the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 between the top of the threshold 5 and the underside of the rail foot of the wing rails 3 are performed within the height of the base plate 19.

Fig. 10 zeigt eine alternative, erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Befestigung der Stellstange 15 und der Prüferstange 14 an der Unterseite der Herzstückspitze 4 mittels einer Bolzenverbindung ohne dass es zu einer relevanten Querschnittsschwächung der beweglichen Herzstückspitze 4 kommt. Es ist ein Bolzen 40 vorgesehen, der durch eine Ausnehmung der Stellstange 15 bzw. der Prüferstange 14 drehbeweglich hindurchgeführt ist und in ein von unten in die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4 eingebrachten Sackloch eingesteckt und mittels Schrauben lagegesichert wird. Fig. 10 shows an alternative, inventive embodiment of the attachment of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 on the underside of the frog tip 4 by means of a bolt connection without causing a relevant cross-sectional weakening of the movable frog tip 4. It is a bolt 40 is provided, which is rotatably passed through a recess of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 and inserted into a bottom of the movable centerpiece tip 4 introduced blind hole and secured in position by means of screws.

Eine weitere nicht erfindungsgemäße Bauform der Ankoppelung der Stellstange 15 und der Prüferstange 14 an die bewegliche Herzstückspitze 4 ohne dass es zu einer Schwächung des Trägheitsmomentes der Herzstückspitze führt, ist in Fig. 11 dargestellt. Die Stellstange 15 und die Prüferstange 14 werden dazu im Bereich der neutralen Faser durch Bohrungen im Schienensteg der Flügelschienen 3 durchgeführt und mittels eines verschraubten Winkelausgleichselements 41 mit der Herzstückspitze 4 verschraubt. Another non-inventive design of the coupling of the control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 to the movable frog tip 4 without causing a weakening of the moment of inertia of the frog point is in Fig. 11 shown. The control rod 15 and the Prüferstange 14 are performed in the region of the neutral fiber through holes in the rail web of the wing rails 3 and screwed by means of a screwed angle compensation element 41 with the frog point 4.
