Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zur seitlichen Lagekorrektur eines Gleises, mit einem auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Maschinenrahmen und einem durch Richtantriebe mit dem Maschinenrahmen verbundenen, Vibratoren zur Erzeugung von Gleisschwingungen aufweisenden Stabilisationsaggregat, sowie mit einem eine Referenzbasis aufweisenden Bezugsystem.The invention relates to a machine for lateral position correction of a track, with a machine frame supported on rail bogies and a stabilizing unit having vibrators for generating track vibrations connected to the machine frame by means of directional drives, and with a reference system having a reference base.

Gemäß US 4 046 079 ist eine derartige Maschine zur Korrektur der Gleislage bekannt. Diese weist einen auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Maschinenrahmen auf, an dem ein das Gleis in horizontale und senkrecht zur Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende Schwingungen versetzendes Stabilisationsaggregat angeordnet ist. Dieses weist verstellbare Rollenzangen und Spurkranzräder zur formschlüssigen Verbindung mit den Schienen sowie Vibratoren auf, um das Gleis in horizontale Schwingungen zu versetzen. Um eine Lagekorrektur des Gleises in Gleisquerrichtung zu ermöglichen, sind Richtantriebe vorgesehen, welche einerseits direkt am Stabilisationsaggregat und andererseits am Maschinenrahmen angelenkt sind. Unter Verwendung eines Richtbezugsystems können mit diesen Antrieben auch seitliche Gleislagefehler korrigiert werden. Die Richtantriebe sind durch eine derartige Anlenkung jedoch den sehr hohen Vibrationsbelastungen ausgesetzt.According to US 4,046,079, such a machine for correcting the track position is known. This has a machine frame supported on rail bogies, on which is arranged a stabilizing unit which displaces vibrations in the horizontal and perpendicular to the machine longitudinal direction. This has adjustable roller tongs and flanged wheels for a positive connection to the rails as well as vibrators to set the track in horizontal vibrations. In order to enable the position of the track to be corrected in the transverse direction of the track, directional drives are provided which are articulated on the one hand directly on the stabilization unit and on the other hand on the machine frame. Using a directional reference system, lateral drive position errors can also be corrected with these drives. However, the directional drives are exposed to the very high vibration loads due to such articulation.

Es ist weiters gemäß US 5 113 767 eine derartige kontinuierlich verfahrbare, als Gleisstabilisator bezeichnete Gleisbaumaschine zum Verdichten der Schotterbettung eines Gleises bekannt. Zwischen endseitig angeordneten Schienenfahrwerken sind höhenverstellbare und direkt mit Richtantrieben verbundene Stabilisationsaggregate angeordnet. In deren Bereich ist eine Meßvorrichtung zum Messen der Querverschiebung des Gleises vorgesehen.Furthermore, according to US Pat. No. 5,113,767, such a continuously movable track construction machine, known as a track stabilizer, for compacting the ballast bedding of a track is known. Height-adjustable stabilization units directly connected to directional drives are arranged between the end-mounted rail trolleys. A measuring device for measuring the transverse displacement of the track is provided in its area.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Maschine der eingangs beschriebenen Art, bei der die Richtkräfte mit einem Minimum an Schwingungsbelastung für die Richtantriebe auf das Stabilisationsaggregat übertragbar sind.The object of the present invention is to create a machine of the type described in the introduction, in which the straightening forces can be transmitted to the stabilization unit with a minimum of vibration load for the straightening drives.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer gattungsgemäßen Maschine dadurch gelöst, daß der am Maschinenrahmen angelenkte Richtantrieb über ein Distanzglied indirekt mit dem Stabilisationsaggregat verbunden ist.This object is achieved with a generic machine in that the directional drive articulated on the machine frame is indirectly connected to the stabilizing unit via a spacer.

Eine derartige indirekte Anlenkung an das Stabilisationsaggregat ermöglicht ohne Beeinträchtigung der Richtkraftübertragung einen bezüglich der Schwingungseinflüsse schonenderen Einsatz der Richtantriebe. Diese sind nunmehr durch die indirekte Anlenkung lediglich zum relativ kurzen Zeitpunkt der Richtkrafteinwirkung den Vibrationsschwingungen ausgesetzt.Such an indirect linkage to the stabilization unit enables the directional drives to be used more gently with respect to the effects of vibrations without impairing the directional force transmission. Due to the indirect articulation, these are now only exposed to the vibration vibrations at the relatively short point in time when the directional force is applied.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung gemäß den Merkmalen nach den Ansprüchen 2 bis 5 ermöglicht bei relativ einfachem konstruktivem Aufwand eine für die Übertragung der stoßförmigen Richtkräfte sehr wirksame und den sehr hohen Schwingungsbelastungen problemlos standhaltende Lösung einer indirekten Anlenkung der Richtantriebe. Mit der elastischen Lagerung der Umlenkrolle bzw. der Richtantriebe am Maschinenrahmen wird eine unerwünschte Übertragung der Schwingungskräfte vom Stabilisationsaggregat auf den Maschinenrahmen ausgeschlossen. Eine andere, vorteilhafte Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 6 ermöglicht eine problemlose Aufbringung der Richtkräfte in beiden Gleisquerrichtungen.An advantageous development according to the features of claims 2 to 5 enables a solution for indirect linkage of the directional drives, which is very effective for the transmission of the shock-like straightening forces and can easily withstand the very high vibration loads, with a relatively simple constructional effort. With the elastic mounting of the deflection roller or the directional drives on the machine frame, an undesired transmission of the vibrational forces from the stabilizing unit to the machine frame is excluded. Another advantageous development according to claim 6 enables problem-free application of the straightening forces in both transverse directions of the track.

Eine andere, vorteilhafte Ausbildung eines Distanzgliedes in Form eines etwa in vertikaler Richtung verlaufenden, um eine in Maschinenlängsachse verschwenkbar gelagerten Hebels ist durch die in den Ansprüchen 7 bis 9 angeführten Merkmale gekennzeichnet.Another advantageous embodiment of a spacer in the form of a lever that extends approximately in the vertical direction and is mounted pivotably about a longitudinal axis of the machine is characterized by the features stated in claims 7 to 9.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand in der Zeichnung dargestellter Ausführungsbeispiele näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.

Eine in Fig. 1 ersichtliche, allgemein auch als Gleisstabilisator bezeichnete Maschine 1 zur Vorwegnahme der Anfangssetzungen sowie zur seitlichen Lagekorrektur eines Gleises 2 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem auf Schienenfahrwerken 3 abgestützten Maschinenrahmen 4, der mit Fahrkabinen 5,8, einer Energieeinheit 6 und einem Fahrantrieb 7 verbunden ist. Zwischen den beiden endseitig angeordneten Schienenfahrwerken 3 befinden sich zwei Stabilisationsaggregate 9, welche durch Distanzglieder 10 mit am Maschinenrahmen 4 angelenkten Richtantrieben 11 verbunden sind. Zur Kontrolle der Seitenlage des Gleises 2 ist ein Bezugsystem 12 vorgesehen, welches eine Referenzbasis 13 aufweist, die beispielsweise als Drahtsehne 14 ausgebildet sein kann.A machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, generally also referred to as a track stabilizer, for anticipating the initial settlements and for laterally correcting the position of a track 2 essentially consists of a machine frame 4 supported on rail bogies 3, which has driving cabins 5, 8, an energy unit 6 and a travel drive 7 is connected. Between the two rail carriages 3 arranged at the ends there are two stabilizing units 9, which are connected by spacers 10 to directional drives 11 articulated on the machine frame 4. To check the lateral position of the track 2, a reference system 12 is provided, which has a reference base 13, which can be designed, for example, as a wire chord 14.

Wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, liegt das Stabilisationsaggregat 9 durch Spurkranzrollen 15 auf Schienen 16 des Gleises 2 auf. Jeweils zwei in Maschinenquerrichtung einander gegenüberliegende Spurkranzrollen 15 sind mit einem hydraulischen Spreizantrieb 17 verbunden, um im Arbeitseinsatz das Spurspiel auszuschalten. Das Stabilisationsaggregat 9 weist ein Aggregatgehäuse 18 auf, welches durch Antriebe 19 höhenverstellbar mit dem Maschinenrahmen 4 verbunden ist. Im Aggregatgehäuse 18 sind zwei Vibratoren 20 in Form von Exzenterantrieben gelagert. Diese sind zur Erzeugung von in Maschinenquerrichtung sowie parallel zu Rotationsachsen 21 der Spurkranzrollen 15 verlaufenden Schwingungen ausgebildet. Bezüglich der Maschinenlängsrichtung zwischen den beiden jeweils einer Schiene 16 zugeordneten Spurkranzrollen 15 ist eine sogenannte Rollzange 22 um eine in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse 23 verschwenkbar am Aggregatgehäuse 18 gelagert. Diese Verschwenkung erfolgt durch einen hydraulischen Antrieb 24. Am unteren Ende jeder Rollzange 22 ist ein um eine Achse 25 rotierbarer Rollteller 26 vorgesehen.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the stabilization unit 9 rests on tracks 16 of the track 2 by means of flange rollers 15. In each case two flanged rollers 15 lying opposite one another in the cross-machine direction are connected to a hydraulic spreading drive 17 in order to switch off the track play during work. The stabilizing unit 9 has a unit housing 18 which is connected to the machine frame 4 in a height-adjustable manner by drives 19. Two vibrators 20 in the form of eccentric drives are mounted in the unit housing 18. These are designed to generate vibrations running in the cross-machine direction and parallel to the axes of rotation 21 of the flanged rollers 15. Regarding the machine longitudinal direction Between the two flanged rollers 15 each associated with a rail 16, a so-called roller tongs 22 is mounted on the unit housing 18 so as to be pivotable about an axis 23 running in the longitudinal direction of the machine. This pivoting takes place by means of a hydraulic drive 24. At the lower end of each roller tongs 22, a roller table 26 rotatable about an axis 25 is provided.

Die an jeder Maschinenlängsseite paarweise pro Stabilisationsaggregat 9 am Maschinenrahmen 4 angelenkten Richtantriebe 11 sind über Distanzglieder 10 mit dem Stabilisationsaggregat 9 verbunden. Diese Distanzglieder 10 sind als Seile 27 ausgebildet und einerseits mit einer Kolbenstange 28 des Richtantriebes 11 verbunden und andererseits am Aggregatgehäuse 18 angelenkt. Die Richtantriebe 11 sind in ihrer Längsrichtung in etwa vertikaler Richtung verlaufend angeordnet, so daß die Seile 27 durch Umlenkrollen 29 mit einer in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden horizontalen Drehachse 30 um etwa 90° umgelenkt werden. Der zwischen Umlenkrolle 29 und Stabilisationsaggregat 9 befindliche Abschnitt des Seiles 27 verläuft etwa horizontal und senkrecht zur Maschinenlängsrichtung. Zwischen einer der Anlenkung des Richtantriebes 11 dienenden, flanschförmigen Lagerstelle 31 und dem Maschinenrahmen 4 ist ein elastisches Zwischenstück 32 vorgesehen.The directional drives 11 articulated in pairs on each machine longitudinal side per stabilizing unit 9 on the machine frame 4 are connected to the stabilizing unit 9 via spacers 10. These spacers 10 are designed as ropes 27 and connected on the one hand to a piston rod 28 of the directional drive 11 and on the other hand articulated on the unit housing 18. The directional drives 11 are arranged in their longitudinal direction in an approximately vertical direction, so that the cables 27 are deflected by deflecting rollers 29 with a horizontal axis of rotation 30 running in the machine longitudinal direction by approximately 90 °. The section of the cable 27 located between the deflection roller 29 and the stabilization unit 9 runs approximately horizontally and perpendicularly to the machine longitudinal direction. An elastic intermediate piece 32 is provided between a flange-shaped bearing point 31 serving to link the directional drive 11 and the machine frame 4.

Um trotz der Schwingungseinflüsse die Lage der Referenzbasis 13 des Bezugsystems 12 genau erfassen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, einen sogenannten berührungslosen Linear-Absolut-Wegsensor zu verwenden. Das Meßprinzip dieses Wegsensors basiert auf einer Laufzeitmessung (Ultraschallbereich). Die Ultraschall-Laufzeit ist wegproportional und wird in einer Elektronik ausgewertet.In order to be able to precisely record the position of the reference base 13 of the reference system 12 in spite of the vibration influences, it is advantageous to use a so-called non-contact linear absolute displacement sensor. The measuring principle of this displacement sensor is based on a transit time measurement (ultrasonic range). The ultrasound runtime is proportional to the path and is evaluated in electronics.

Im Profil ist ein magnetostriktiver Draht (Referenzbasis 13) gespannt, durch den Stromimpulse gesandt werden. Dadurch entsteht um den Draht ein ringförmiges Magnetfeld. Als Positionssensor dient ein berührungslos zu führendes Magnetsystem, dessen Magnetfeld den Meßdraht (Leiter) tangiert. Das zweite, durch Stromimpulse erzeugte ringförmige Magnetfeld bildet am Meßort durch die zwei verschieden ausgerichteten Magnetfelder eine Magnetostriktion. Die dabei enstehenden Ultraschall-Signale breiten sich vom Positionssensor in beide Richtungen aus. Über einen Meßwertaufnehmer im Wegsensor wird das Ultraschall-Signal erfaßt und in einen elektrischen Impuls umgewandelt. Die sich in Richtung Stabende bewegenden Ultraschallwellen werden in der Dämpfungszone absorbiert. Die Zeitdifferenz vom Aussenden des Stromimpulses bis zum Eintreffen des Torsionsimpulses setzt die Meßelektronik in eine Weginformation um und stellt diese am Ausgang als digitales oder analoges Signal zur Verfügung.A magnetostrictive wire (reference base 13) is stretched in the profile, through which current pulses are sent. This creates an annular magnetic field around the wire. A contactless magnetic system serves as the position sensor, the magnetic field of which touches the measuring wire (conductor). The second ring-shaped magnetic field generated by current pulses forms a magnetostriction at the measuring location due to the two differently oriented magnetic fields. The resulting ultrasonic signals spread from the position sensor in both directions. The ultrasonic signal is detected by a transducer in the displacement sensor and converted into an electrical pulse. The ultrasonic waves moving towards the end of the rod are absorbed in the damping zone. The measuring electronics converts the time difference from the transmission of the current pulse to the arrival of the torsion pulse into path information and makes this available at the output as a digital or analog signal.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 3 ersichtlich, sind für jeden Richtantrieb 11 zwei in Maschinenlängsrichtung voneinander distanzierte Zwischenstücke 32 vorgesehen. Diese befinden sich jeweils in einer Bohrung 41 der Lagerstelle 31 und werden mit Hilfe einer vertikalen Schraube 42 an die genannte Bohrung angepreßt. Der Richtantrieb 11 ist an einem in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Joch 43 angelenkt, das mit den genannten Schrauben 42 verbunden ist. Somit erfolgt die Übertragung der Richtkraft vom Maschinenrahmen 4 auf das Stabilisationsaggregat 9 bzw. auf das Gleis 2 von der Lagerstelle 31 über das elastische Zwischenstück 32 auf das Joch 43.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, two intermediate pieces 32 spaced apart from one another in the machine longitudinal direction are provided for each directional drive 11. These are each located in a bore 41 of the bearing point 31 and are pressed against said bore by means of a vertical screw 42. The directional drive 11 is articulated on a yoke 43 which runs in the machine longitudinal direction and is connected to the screws 42 mentioned. The directional force is thus transmitted from the machine frame 4 to the stabilization unit 9 or to the track 2 from the bearing point 31 via the elastic intermediate piece 32 to the yoke 43.

Wie in Fig. 4 ersichtlich, ist zwischen einem die Umlenkrolle lagernden Achsbolzen 44 und der Umlenkrolle 29 ein zylindrisches, elastisches Dämpfungselement 45 vorgesehen. Die Umlenkrolle 29 ist auf einem mit dem Maschinenrahmen 4 verbundenen Flansch 46 befestigt, der in seinem oberen Endbereich auch mit der Lagerstelle 31 verbunden ist.As can be seen in FIG. 4, a cylindrical, elastic damping element 45 is provided between an axle bolt 44 supporting the deflection roller and the deflection roller 29. The deflection roller 29 is fastened to a flange 46 which is connected to the machine frame 4 and which is also connected to the bearing point 31 in its upper end region.

In Fig. 5 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt. Dabei haben der Einfachheit halber gleiche Bauteile dieselben Bezugszeichen wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 4. Als Distanzglied 10 zur Übertragung der Richtkräfte ist ein Hebel 33 vorgesehen. Dieser verläuft in etwa vertikaler Richtung und ist in seinem Mittelbereich 34 um eine in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse 35 verschwenkbar am Maschinenrahmen 4 gelagert. Ein unteres Ende 36 des Hebels 33 ist zwischen zwei Mitnehmerbolzen 37, die am Stabilisationsaggregat 9 in Maschinenquerrichtung distanziert angeordnet sind, positioniert. Zwischen dem unteren Ende 36 und den Mitnehmerbolzen 37 ist jeweils ein elastisches Zwischenstück 38 angebracht. Auch zwischen einer Lagerstelle 39 des Richtantriebes 11 und dem Maschinenrahmen 4 ist ein elastisches Zwischenstück 40 vorgesehen.5 shows a further exemplary embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, the same components have the same reference numerals as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4. A lever 33 is provided as a spacer 10 for transmitting the straightening forces. This extends in an approximately vertical direction and is mounted on the machine frame 4 in its central region 34 so as to be pivotable about an axis 35 running in the machine longitudinal direction. A lower end 36 of the lever 33 is positioned between two driver bolts 37, which are arranged at a distance from the stabilizing unit 9 in the cross-machine direction. An elastic intermediate piece 38 is attached between the lower end 36 and the driving pin 37. An elastic intermediate piece 40 is also provided between a bearing point 39 of the directional drive 11 and the machine frame 4.
