Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gap-filling device for maintenance, in particular the maintenance of railway rolling stock.
  • the invention relates to a device making it possible to ensure the safety of the maintenance of railway rolling stock, in particular during maintenance operations in the upper part and/or the roof of the rolling stock.
  • railway rolling stock is, for example, motor (such as a locomotive) or towed (such as a car or wagon) or self-propelled rolling stock, suitable for transporting passengers and/or goods.
  • maintenance structures comprising for example maintenance catwalks adapted to the configuration of the maintained railway equipment.
  • These maintenance structures include fixed elements which respect all the possible gauges of the equipment to be maintained and cannot therefore interfere directly with the railway rolling stock. There therefore remains a space between the material and the structure, called a gap.
  • gap-filling devices are implemented.
  • the purpose of these gap-filling devices is to limit or even eliminate the existing space between the maintenance structure and the equipment being maintained.
  • These devices are generally mobile and motorized and can be adapted to rolling stock of different configurations. They therefore make it possible to compensate for deficiencies regardless of the size of the rolling stock.
  • the type of equipment to be maintained has a fixed template.
  • the rolling stock is of the same model.
  • complex gap-filling solutions allowing adaptation to several templates are superfluous because they have a certain number of drawbacks: the different mechanisms allowing adjustment to different templates have strong constraints of masses, transfer of load, movement, mechanical stresses and routing of connectors and connecting wires, in particular for mobile platforms moving in line with the maintenance structure.
  • the inventors therefore sought a solution making it possible to obtain a gap-filling device intended for equipment with uniform dimensions without the drawbacks of current gap-filling devices.
  • the invention aims to provide a gap-filling device making it possible to fill the space between equipment undergoing maintenance and a maintenance structure, and overcoming the drawbacks of known gap-filling devices.
  • the invention aims in particular to provide, in at least one embodiment, a simple gap-filling device that can easily adapt to the size of a single piece of equipment.
  • the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment of the invention, a gap-filling device that is easily replaceable and removable and whose maintenance is low.
  • the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment of the invention, a gap-filling device complying with the regulations concerning protection against the risk of falling objects or tools.
  • the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment of the invention, a gap-filling device presenting little risk of malfunction.
  • the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment of the invention, an inexpensive gap-filling device.
  • a gap-filling device therefore makes it possible to easily adapt to the uniform template of maintenance equipment.
  • the gap-filling device is inexpensive and presents little risk of malfunction because it does not include embedded technological components that are subject to faults.
  • the brush makes it possible to prevent tools or objects from falling into the gap between the maintenance structure and the rolling stock.
  • the set of filaments (also called “bristles”) of the brush, formed in rows, make it possible to ensure this function over the whole of the gap covered by the gap-filling device in an effective manner by forming a mechanical resistance to falling object.
  • the presence of the elastomer strip makes it possible to avoid the fall of objects or sharp tools which could slip between the filaments of the brush.
  • the gap-filling device thus makes it possible to comply with the regulations concerning protection against the risk of falling objects and/or tools.
  • the use of a brush made up of filaments also allows the gap-filling device to be particularly suitable for the friction which may occur during the positioning of railway rolling stock which is brought by rail to the place maintenance.
  • the brush device fills a gap that does not require deployment or adjustment vis-à-vis the equipment under maintenance, operators can initiate the protection procedure in order to access the maintenance facility.
  • the dimensional or positioning settings of the gap-filling device are established for the most part by prior design study, and additional settings can be implemented on first installation or after each replacement of the gap-filling device. .
  • the interface support and the core are fixed permanently or removable.
  • the core comprises a plurality of holes in each of which is embedded a group of filaments, said holes being distributed over the entire main direction of the core so that all of the groups of associated filaments to holes aligned in the main direction form a row of filaments.
  • the holes of at least two adjacent rows of filaments are staggered.
  • the arrangement of the rows of filaments makes it possible to minimize the risks of objects or tools passing between the filaments, by forming groups of filaments embedded in the same hole in the core.
  • the filaments are made of nylon.
  • the nylon has advantageous characteristics for forming the filaments of the brush, since it has sufficient rigidity for the brush to prevent objects or tools from falling, while retaining flexibility to allow bending if the filaments come into contact with the rolling stock.
  • nylon is inexpensive, which reduces the total cost of the gap-filling device.
  • a gap-filling device comprises at least six rows of filaments, at least three rows of filaments being arranged on one side of the elastomer strip and at least three rows of filaments being arranged on the other side of the elastomer lamella.
  • the six rows of filaments make it possible to perform the gap-filling function effectively.
  • the filaments have a length of between 7cm and 13cm.
  • the height of the brush defined by the spacing between the two furthest rows of filaments, is between 3cm and 8cm.
  • the length of the gap-filling device is between 50cm and 200cm.
  • the invention also relates to a maintenance system for equipment, in particular railway equipment, comprising a maintenance structure arranged to allow access to the upper parts and/or to the roof of the equipment being maintained, characterized in that it comprises at least one device gap filler according to the invention, fixed to the maintenance structure and configured to prevent objects from falling between the equipment being maintained and the maintenance structure.
  • a maintenance system allows the maintenance of equipment, in particular railway equipment, of substantially uniform size by allowing access to the upper parts and/or to the roof of the equipment being maintained.
  • the gap-filling devices according to the invention installed on the maintenance structure make it possible to avoid the fall of objects and/or tools under the intervention zone during maintenance operations on the upper parts and/or the roof.
  • the brush fills the gap between the maintenance structure and the equipment being maintained by the presence of the filaments and the elastomer strip.
  • the gap-filling device is fixed to the structure so as to present an angle of between 10° and 45° with respect to the horizontal.
  • the invention also relates to a gap-filling device and a maintenance system, characterized in combination by all or some of the characteristics mentioned above or below.
  • the figure 1 schematically illustrates from the side a gap-filling device 10 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the picture 2 schematically and partially illustrates the gap-filling device 10 according to section AA of the figure 1 .
  • the picture 3 illustrates the gap-filling device 10 viewed from above.
  • the gap-filling device 10 comprises an interface support 12 configured to be connected to a maintenance structure 110 represented here partially and schematically.
  • the maintenance structure 110 is for example formed of a maintenance gateway (see figure 4 described below) allowing access to the upper parts or the roof of equipment undergoing maintenance, particular railway rolling stock.
  • the gap-filling device 10 further comprises a brush 14 configured to prevent objects from falling into a gap between the equipment being maintained and the maintenance structure during a maintenance operation.
  • Said brush comprises a core 16 configured to be fixed to the interface support 12 and extending in a main direction 20 (visible on the picture 3 ).
  • the brush 14 also comprises at least two rows of filaments, here six rows 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18e, 18f of nylon filaments, distributed along the main direction.
  • Each filament of each row has a portion embedded in the core 16 and a portion emerging from the core in a filament direction substantially perpendicular to the main direction.
  • partial section 200 on the figure 1 makes it possible to observe a portion 218f of the row 18f of filaments, said portion 218f of filaments being embedded in the core 16.
  • the brush also comprises at least one strip 22 of elastomer extending over the entire main direction of the core, comprising a portion embedded in the core and a portion emerging from the core 16 in a direction substantially parallel to the directions of the filaments, arranged between at least two rows of filaments.
  • the elastomer strip 22 separates the six rows of filaments into two groups, a first group of three rows 18a, 18b, 18c arranged on one side of the elastomer strip 22 and a second group of three rows 18d, 18e, 18f arranged on the other side of the elastomer strip 22.
  • This elastomer strip 22 makes it possible to prevent the fall of tapered objects which could slip between the rows of filaments.
  • the core 16 comprises a plurality of holes 24 distributed in the core and distributed over the entire main direction of the core. These holes each include a group of filaments, making it possible to form the brush.
  • the aligned holes form rows 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18e, 18f of filaments. To maximize the effectiveness of the gap-filling device, the holes of adjacent rows are staggered.
  • the filaments and the elastomer strip 22 embedded in the core 16 are thus integrally assembled to hold the whole of the brush.
  • attachment means for example of the self-locking screw type, guaranteeing braking and holding in position.
  • the height h of the brush is advantageously between 3cm and 8cm, for example 5cm.
  • the length Lf of the filaments, visible on the picture 3 is advantageously between 7cm and 13cm, for example 10cm.
  • the length Ld of the gap-filling device is between 50cm and 200cm.
  • the gap-filling device as shown in the picture 3 is not shown to scale: it has a short length for illustrative purposes, and could be much longer depending on the embodiments. A longer length covers a larger gap width but is more expensive to replace in the event of occasional wear.
  • the figure 4 schematically represents a system 100 for the maintenance of equipment, for example railway rolling stock 50, for example a car of a train, driven or not.
  • the rolling stock is brought into the maintenance system 100 to carry out maintenance operations.
  • the equipment 50 is for example led by rails 112 to the maintenance area, and rests on these rails 112 during maintenance.
  • the maintenance system 100 comprises a maintenance structure arranged to allow access to the upper parts and/or to the roof of the equipment 50 being maintained.
  • the structure comprises for example a first part 110a and a second part 110b, arranged on either side of the rolling stock.
  • devices 10a and 10b gap fillers as previously described are used.
  • the gap-filling devices 10a, 10b are preferably arranged below the path surfaces 116a, 116b where the operators walk, so as to prevent people from walking on them naturally.
  • the gap-filling devices 10a, 10b can thus have a marking (regulatory or dedicated), for example a symbol or a pattern, so as to encourage the vigilance of the operators circulating on the path surfaces 116a, 116b.
  • the gap-filling device When installing the gap-filling device(s) on the maintenance structure, an adjustment may be necessary to adapt to the size of the equipment being maintained. Once this adjustment has been made, the gap-filling device can be used for all materials of close gauge without the need for additional adjustment.
  • the presence of flexible filaments allows the device to adapt in the event of slight variations, due for example to wear of the rolling stock (wheels, suspensions, springs for example) or of the maintenance structure (wear of the rails, minimal displacements structure, etc.)
