Signal system

The invention relates to a transportable signal system.

Transportable signal systems should z. B. replace permanently installed signal systems to be converted temporarily. About that In addition, they are often installed in the area of construction sites to keep traffic during the construction site period to regulate. Other possible uses are of a similar nature, whereby it usually depends on the replacement system As quickly as possible to transport to the installation site and to set up on the spot without great effort.

A transportable signal system usually consists of a switchgear cabinet with switchgear, supply lines, Signal masts each with a weighted mast base, which ensures that a mast stands securely on the ground ensures that signal heads attached to the mast, which the

Record signal lamps and their wiring in a housing, with guide elements on the masts for the Supply lines can sit.

In the known transportable signal systems, the control unit is housed in the switchgear cabinet, which has an underframe. The supply lines are led from the underframe to the individual masts, whereby A separate supply cable must be laid from the base to the mast for each signal transmitter. This Expenditure on supply lines is considerable when you consider that one is usually used to regulate the traffic single traffic route, e.g. B. at an intersection, a signal generator group is used, from which a separate Signal transmitter to the left of the traffic route and a signal transmitter to the right of the traffic route to each are set up attached to a mast, the mast in the direction of travel to the right of the traffic route with a Arm protrudes across the traffic route and carries another signal transmitter that belongs to the same signal group and is located directly above the traffic route. All three signal heads are powered by electrical energy each supplied via a supply line, each from the switchgear cabinet or a cable distributor is led directly to a signal transmitter. This effort is driven because of security reasons the red signals must be electronically monitored in accordance with regulations; and that are usually to monitor the two red signals of a group on the right of the traffic route. The surveillance is supposed to ensure that the failure of the red signal z. B. does not show any complaints to the left of the traffic route,

but only a complaint is made noticeable if both right-hand red signals have failed are.

In addition to the considerable cost of materials in terms of the cable lengths and the time-consuming assembly that With every new installation results when the multitude of cables is sorted and sorted by the respective masts must be supplied, is also disadvantageous in the known transportable signal systems that the many cables can be visually disruptive.

The object of the invention is to provide a visually appealing supply cable system that is simpler to assemble to be provided in a transportable signaling system that requires less cable material and yet complies with regulations Allows monitoring of the red signals.

This object is achieved by the features of the claims. The invention is exemplified on the basis of the drawing explained in more detail. Show it:

1 schematically shows a signal generator group at a traffic intersection,

2 shows a side view of a signal transmitter attached to a mast,

3 shows the plug wiring of the signal system.

The signal generator group is set up, for example, on the traffic route 1 of an intersection 2 and has the left-hand signal generator 3, the right-hand signal generator 4 and the one arranged above the traffic route 1

Signal transmitter 5 on. The same signal generator groups can be installed on the other traffic routes at intersection 2 be (not shown).

It is essential to the invention that the switchgear cabinet 6, which is usually on a sidewalk, only one Supply line 7 to the signal generator group, consisting of the signal generators 3, 4 and 5, leads, the supply line 7 is preferably routed to the signal transmitter 3. It is also essential that a signal transmitter 3> 4 or 5 only one supply line 8 or 9 leads to another signal transmitter 31 4 or 5. in the the example shown, the entire group is supplied with electrical energy via the supply line 7, wherein the supply line 8, the signal generator 3 with the Signal transmitter 5 and the supply line 9 connect the signal transmitter 5 to the signal transmitter 4.

For this purpose, a signal transmitter is attached to the respective mast 10 of the signal system, the signal transmitter each can be designed the same. For this reason, the number is only an example for the signal generator 3 in FIG. 2 has been chosen. The attachment of the signal generator 3 is expediently carried out with an upper bracket 11 and a lower bracket 12, whose downwardly angled webs 16 and 17 are fixedly arranged on the mast Lugs 13 and 14 are used. The lower flap 14 has a clamping screw 15, which is known per se Way causes a jamming of the web 17. The web 16 is preferably made longer than that Web 17, so that the threading of the webs into the tabs is facilitated. Between brackets 11 and 12

the signal transmitter 3 is attached to the bracket with screws 18. The signal generator 3 includes, as usual, superimposed chambers 22, 23 and 2 ¹ J, into each of which a lamp 28, 29 or 30 (in Fig. 2 not shown) is arranged and above which the signal glasses 19, 20 and 21 sit.

According to the invention are outside on the upper wall

25 of the chamber 22 of the signal transmitter adjacent to one another and at a distance from one another two plugs 26 and 27 permanently installed, of which supply cables lead into the interior of chambers 22, 23 and 24.

In the plug 26, for example, the supply line 7, which comes from the switchgear cabinet 6, be plugged with the mating connector 31, while in the connector 27, the supply line 8 with the mating connector 32 can be inserted. But it can also be the lines 8 and 9, what through the numbers in brackets in FIG. 2 are intended to be indicated.

According to the invention, all supply lines 7, 8 and 9 have at least five supply lines, accordingly plugs are used that are at least five-pole, the two plugs

26 and 27 are connected in parallel on a signal generator. In Fig. 3 this is shown schematically for the signal generator 3, 5 and H , the connection of the plug is selected so that there is a monitoring facility for the red signals of the signal generator 5 and H results.

They are against it Lines 33a and 33b of lamps 28a and 28b for the red signal of signal generators 5 and 4 with terminal 50 of the terminal strips 36 connected, as in the case of the Signal generator 3 leads from plug 26, 26a and 26b, respectively, a supply cable 51 to terminal 50 and each a parallel line 52 to the plug 27, 27a or 27b leading from the supply cable 51 is branched off.

If now plug 26 is fed from the supply line 7 coming from the switchgear cabinet, plug 27 via the supply line 8 with plug 26a and plug 27a via the supply line 9 with Plug 26b are connected, the lamps 28a and 28b of the red signals of the signal generator 5 and 4 via the Lines 51 and 52 supplied, while the lamp 28 of the red signal of the signal generator 3 via the line 46 is supplied. Thus, the red signal of the signal generator 3 works as desired independently of the red signals the signal generator 5 and 4. If, however, both red signals of the signal generator 5 or 4 fail, so can the failure will be registered as usual.

With the invention it is thus possible to comply with all the signal cases that occur in practice monitor, with only one supply line to the switching device to be provided for a signal group because the signal generators are connected in series via plugs. Another advantage of the invention it follows that for all of the wiring
