Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Weiche für Fahrwege von spurgeführten
Fahrzeugen mit Linearmotorantrieb nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a switch for routes of track-guided
Vehicles with linear motor drive according to the preamble of
Aus der DE-A 38 33 904 ist eine derartige Weiche bekannt. Bei dieser Weiche werden alle diejenigen Schienen, die zur gewünschten Weichenstellung nicht erforderlich sind, nach unten aus der Ebene bzw. dem oberen Niveau der Schienen weggeschwenkt. Nachteilig bei dieser Weichenbauart ist es, daß je nach Weichenstellung Statoren nicht von der Schienenoberseite abgedeckt werden und somit der Witterung ausgesetzt sind und verstärkt zu Korrosion neigen. Weiterhin sind bei bestimmten Anwendungen seitlich unterhalb der Statoren freiliegende Stromleitungen zur Versorgung der Fahrzeuge angeordnet. Auch diese sind der Witterung ausgesetzt und Nässe oder Vereisung können hierbei zu Kurzschlüssen führen.Such a switch is known from DE-A 38 33 904. At this turnout all those rails that are not required to set the desired course are pivoted downwards out of the plane or the upper level of the rails. The disadvantage of this type of switch is that depending on the position of the switch Stators are not covered by the top of the rail and therefore the weather are exposed and tend to corrode. Furthermore, certain Applications exposed power lines laterally below the stators Supply of vehicles arranged. These are also exposed to the weather and wetness or icing can lead to short circuits.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Weiche der im Oberbegriff
des Patentanspruchs 1 beschriebenen Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß eine bessere
Spurführung und eine Abdeckung im Weichenbereich durch die Schiene erreicht
wird. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale im Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung und Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen
zu entnehmen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Weiche werden die Statoren
und eventuell vorhandene Stromschienen nicht der Witterung ausgesetzt.The object of the present invention is therefore a switch in the preamble
of the type described in
Der Fahrweg für spurgeführte Fahrzeuge mit Linearmotor, für die die erfindungsgemäße Weiche bestimmt ist, weist eine rechte und eine linke Schiene auf. Die Schiene weist ein vertikales Profil für die Seitenführungsrollen, ein horizontales Profil für die Vertikalführungsrollen und einen Langstator auf, wobei die rechte und linke Schiene spiegelsymmetrisch zu einer Mittelebene aufgebaut sind. Die Begriffe rechts und links in bezug auf die Schienen bzw. Weichenstellungen beziehen sich auf die Sichtweise vom vereinigten spitzen Weichenende zum gegabelten Weichenende, wie auch bei der Sichtweise der weiter unten beschriebenen Schnitte durch eine besonders bevorzugte erfindungsgemäße Weiche in den Figuren 3 und 5. Die Begriffe Weichenstellung nach rechts bzw. links bedeuten, daß bei der Weichenstellung nach rechts der Fahrweg mit dem rechten Fahrweg hinter der Weiche bzw. bei Weichenstellung nach links mit dem linken Fahrweg hinter der Weiche verbunden ist. Eine Aussage darüber, ob nur eine oder beide Weichenstellungen einen Bogen ausführen, ist damit nicht gegeben. So sind z.B. bei einer Weiche mit geradem Fahrweg und Abzweigung nach links die Schienen der Weichenstellung nach rechts in Aufsicht gerade und die Schienen der Weichenstellung nach links in Aufsicht gebogen. Bei einer Weiche mit geradem Fahrweg und Abzweigung nach rechts sind entsprechend die Schienen der Weichenstellung nach links in Aufsicht gerade und die Schienen der Weichenstellung nach rechts in Aufsicht gebogen (so auch im unten beschriebenen und dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel).The route for track-guided vehicles with a linear motor, for which the invention Turnout is determined, has a right and a left rail. The rail instructs vertical profile for the side guide rollers, a horizontal one Profile for the vertical guide rollers and a long stator on, the right and left rails mirror-symmetrical are built up to a middle level. The terms right and left in relation to the rails or switch positions refer to the view of the united pointed turnout end to the forked turnout end, as with the perspective of the cuts described below a particularly preferred switch according to the invention in the Figures 3 and 5. The terms turn right or left mean that the switch is to the right the route with the right route behind the switch or if the course is set to the left with the left-hand path behind the switch is connected. A statement about whether just one or make both turns a curve is so not given. For example, with a switch with straight Track and junction to the left the rails of the switch to the right in supervision straight and the rails of the Switch position bent to the left under supervision. At a Turnouts are with a straight track and turn to the right according to the rails to the left in Supervision straight and the rails according to the switch position bent to the right in supervision (as also described below and illustrated embodiment).
Es sind auch erfindungsgemäße Weichen möglich, die einen nach links gebogenen Fahrweg und eine gebogene Abzweigung nach rechts aufweisen oder umgekehrt. Dabei ist aber der Aufbau des Drehsegments komplizierter.Turnouts according to the invention are also possible, following one left curved road and a curved turn to have right or vice versa. But that's the structure of the rotating segment more complicated.
