Durch die GB 2 172 326 A ist es bereits bekannt, insgesamt drei in vertikaler Richtung angeordnete Endabschnitte von Saugrohren im Bereich der Saugöffnungen mit rotierenden Werkzeugen zur Auflockerung von verkrustetem Schotter auszustatten. Die Endabschnitte sind jeweils durch eigene Antriebe einer Verschiebevorrichtung höhen- und querverstellbar ausgebildet. Um eine kontinuierliche Vorwärtsbewegung der Saugmaschine zu ermöglichen, sind die Endabschnitte der Saugrohre relativ zum Maschinenrahmen längsverschiebbar angeordnet. Nach Zentrierung über einem Schwellenfach werden die Endabschnitte mit den Saugöffnungen in den Schotter abgesenkt, wobei infolge einer Verdrehung der Werkzeuge auch in den angrenzenden Bereichen unterhalb der Schwellen befindlicher Schotter absaugbar ist.From GB 2 172 326 A it is already known, a total of three in vertical Directionally arranged end sections of suction pipes in the area of the suction openings with rotating tools to loosen crusted Equip gravel. The end sections are each with their own drives a shifting device designed to be height and transverse adjustable. Around to enable the suction machine to move forward continuously, the end sections of the suction pipes are longitudinally displaceable relative to the machine frame arranged. After centering over a threshold compartment the end sections with the suction openings lowered into the ballast, due to a twisting of the tools also in the adjacent Areas below the threshold of gravel located can be extracted.

Eine andere, durch die DE 71 27 884 U bekannte Saugmaschine weist eine im Bereich der Saugöffnung am Endabschnitt des Saugrohres befestigte Vibrationseinrichtung auf, mit der die Zähne aufweisende Saugöffnung in Schwingungen versetzbar ist. In einer anderen Ausführungsform sind zur Auflockerung des Schotters walzenförmige Werkzeuge vorgesehen, die ebenfalls der Saugöffnung zugeordnet sind.Another suction machine known from DE 71 27 884 U has one Vibrating device attached to the end section of the suction pipe in the area of the suction opening with the suction opening in teeth Vibrations is displaceable. In another embodiment Loosening the ballast provided roller-shaped tools that are also assigned to the suction opening.

Weitere Saugmaschinen sind noch durch die DE 21 36 306 A, US 4 741 072, DE 41 08 673 A und DE 89 13 731 U bekannt. Further suction machines are also known from DE 21 36 306 A, US 4,741,072, DE 41 08 673 A and DE 89 13 731 U are known.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Saugmaschine der gattungsgemäßen Art, mit der die durch den Saugstrom bewirkte Aufnahme des Schotters, insbesondere auch in verkrustetem Zustand, verbessert ist.The object of the present invention is now to create a Suction machine of the generic type, with which by the suction flow effected absorption of the ballast, in particular also in the encrusted state, is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit der eingangs genannten Saugmaschine dadurch gelöst, daß dem um seine Längsachse drehbar gelagerten Saugrohr-Endabschnitt ein Drehantrieb zugeordnet ist.This object is achieved with the suction machine mentioned at the beginning solved in that the rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis Intake manifold end section is assigned a rotary drive.

Durch diese drehbare Ausbildung kann die Schotteraufnahme mit einem Minimum an konstruktivem Aufwand wesentlich verbessert werden. Dabei ist von besonderem Vorteil, daß infolge der Rotation der Saugöffnung und daraus resultierenden Relativbewegung zu den angrenzenden Schottersteinen diese in Bewegung versetzt werden. Diese mechanisch initiierte Anfangsbewegung wird anschließend mit Hilfe der Saugkraft beschleunigt fortgesetzt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Drehung der Saugöffnung ist daher der Schotter rasch und mit größerer Leistung absaugbar.Due to this rotatable design, the ballast can be picked up with a minimum be significantly improved in terms of design effort. It is of particular advantage that due to the rotation of the suction opening and from it resulting relative movement to the adjacent gravel stones these are set in motion. This mechanically initiated initial movement is then accelerated with the help of suction. Due to the inventive rotation of the suction opening, the ballast is therefore can be extracted quickly and with greater performance.

Diese Absaugleistung läßt sich noch zusätzlich erhöhen, wenn gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildungsvariante der Erfindung im Bereich der Saugöffnung von dieser abstehende Mitnahmeorgane vorgesehen sind.This suction power can be increased even further if according to a Another embodiment of the invention in the area of the suction opening of these protruding entrainment organs are provided.

  • Die in Fig. 1 ersichtliche Saugmaschine 1 weist einen auf Schienenfahrwerken 2 verfahrbaren Maschinenrahmen 4 mit einem Unterdruckerzeuger 3 sowie eine endseitig angeordnete Fahrkabine 5 mit einer zentralen Steuereinrichtung 6 auf. Des weiteren ist die Saugmaschine 1 mit einem Motor für die Energieversorgung und einem Fahrantrieb 7 ausgestattet. Zur Führung und Abstützung eines über ein Maschinenende 8 vorkragenden Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 eines Saugrohres 10 ist eine am Maschinenrahmen 4 befestigte Verschiebeeinrichtung 11 bzw. Tragkonstruktion vorgesehen. Diese setzt sich aus zwei in Maschinenlängsrichtung hintereinander angeordneten und unter Bildung einer Gelenkstelle mit einer vertikalen Schwenkachse 12 und einem Schwenkantrieb 13 gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Teilen 14,15 zusammen. Der Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 ist durch verschiedene Antriebe 13,21 entlang der XYZ-Raumkoordinaten verstellbar.The suction machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has one on rail bogies 2 movable machine frame 4 with a vacuum generator 3 and an end cab 5 with a central control device 6 on.

This consists of two arranged one behind the other in the machine longitudinal direction and forming a hinge point with a vertical pivot axis 12 and a swivel drive 13 articulated parts 14.15 together. The intake manifold end section 9 is by various drives 13,21 adjustable along the XYZ space coordinates.

    An den mit dem Teil 15 verbundenen Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 schließt ein flexibler Teil des Saugrohres 10 an, dessen einer Saugöffnung 16 gegenüberliegendes Ende 17 senkrecht zur Maschinenlängsrichtung und horizontal verschiebbar gelagert ist. Zur Speicherung des angesaugten Schotters sind zwei in Maschinenquerrichtung einander gegenüberliegende Schotterspeicher 18 mit jeweils einer Entladeöffnung vorgesehen. Zwischen diesen und dem Unterdruckerzeuger 3 befinden sich zwei Filterkammern mit verschließbaren Entladeöffnungen. Unterhalb dieser Entladeöffnungen ist ein in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufendes Förderband 19 vorgesehen, um den angesaugten Schotter auf einen angekuppelten Verladewagen 20 zu transportieren. At the intake pipe end section 9 connected to the part 15 includes flexible part of the suction pipe 10, the one opposite a suction opening 16 End 17 perpendicular to the machine longitudinal direction and horizontally is slidably mounted. For storing the suctioned ballast are two ballast tanks located opposite each other in the cross-machine direction 18 each provided with an unloading opening. Between these and the vacuum generator 3 there are two filter chambers with closable Discharge openings. Below this discharge opening is an in Conveyor belt 19 extending in the machine longitudinal direction is provided around the to transport sucked-in ballast onto a coupled loading wagon 20.

    Wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ist der zum Eintauchen in den Schotter vorgesehene Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 in seinem oberen, der Saugöffnung 16 entgegengesetzten Endbereich durch ein Rotationslager 22 um eine Längsachse 23 drehbar am angrenzenden flexiblen Bereich des Saugrohres 10 gelagert. Das mit dem Teil 15 der Verschiebeeinrichtung 11 verbundene Rotationslager 22 weist einen koaxial zum Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 angeordneten und mit diesem verbundenen Zahnkranz 24 auf, der in formschlüssiger Verbindung mit einem Antriebsritzel 25 eines hydraulischen Drehantriebes 26 steht.As can be seen in Fig. 2, is that intended for immersion in the ballast Intake pipe end section 9 in its upper, opposite the suction opening 16 End area through a rotary bearing 22 about a longitudinal axis 23 rotatably mounted on the adjacent flexible area of the suction pipe 10. The rotary bearing connected to the part 15 of the displacement device 11 22 has a coaxial to the intake pipe end section 9 and connected to this ring gear 24, which is in a positive connection with a drive pinion 25 of a hydraulic rotary drive 26 stands.

    Der zur Schotteraufnahme dienenden Saugöffnung 16 sind am zylinderförmigen Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 befestigte und in radialer Richtung verlaufende Mitnahmeorgane 27 zur Lockerung bzw. Bewegung der angrenzenden und aufzusaugenden Schottersteine zugeordnet. Die Mitnahmeorgane 27 sind bezüglich ihrer Längsrichtung in einem Winkel zur Längsachse 23 angeordnet, wobei die freien Enden 28 über eine durch die ringförmige Saugöffnung 16 gebildete sowie senkrecht zur Längsachse 23 verlaufende Saugebene 29 vorragend ausgebildet sind.The suction opening 16 which serves for receiving the ballast is cylindrical Suction pipe end section 9 attached and extending in the radial direction Driving elements 27 for loosening or moving the adjacent ones and assigned gravel stones to be sucked up. The entrainment organs 27 are arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis 23 with respect to their longitudinal direction, the free ends 28 via a through the annular suction opening 16 suction plane formed and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23 29 are excellently trained.

    Im Arbeitseinsatz wird der Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 bzw. die Saugöffnung 16 mit Hilfe der zentralen Steuereinrichtung 6 von der Fahrkabine 5 aus beispielsweise über einem Schwellenfach positioniert und durch Beaufschlagung der Antriebe 13,21 auf den Schotter abgesenkt. Parallel dazu erfolgt unter Beaufschlagung des Drehantriebes 26 eine Rotation des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 um dessen Längsachse 23, wodurch die mit der Saugöffnung 16 bzw. dem ebenfalls rotierenden Mitnahmeorgan 27 in Berührung kommenden Schottersteine mechanisch in eine Anfangsbewegung versetzt werden. In weiterer Folge werden diese Schottersteine durch den Saugstrom rascher angesaugt und einem der beiden Schotterspeicher 18 zugeführt. Durch eine überlagerte Querbewegung des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 ist das Schwellenfach zur Gänze durch Absaugen ausräumbar.In working use, the suction pipe end section 9 or the suction opening 16 with the help of the central control device 6 from the driving cabin 5, for example positioned above a sleeper compartment and by applying it the drives 13,21 lowered on the ballast. In parallel upon application of the rotary drive 26, a rotation of the intake pipe end section 9 about its longitudinal axis 23, which means that with the suction opening 16 or the likewise rotating entrainment member 27 in contact coming gravel stones mechanically set in an initial movement will. Subsequently, these gravel stones are sucked in by the suction flow sucked in more quickly and fed to one of the two ballast stores 18. By a superimposed transverse movement of the intake pipe end section 9 the threshold compartment can be completely cleared by suction.

    Zur Optimierung verschiedener spezieller Arbeiten, beispielsweise der Absaugung von Schotter unterhalb der Schwellen bzw. unterhalb von Linienleitern kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Mitnahmeorgane 27 durch deren verlängerte Ausbildung abzuändern. Dazu ist es zweckmäßig, den unteren, die Saugöffnung 16 und die Mitnahmeorgane 27 umfassenden Bereich des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 durch eine Schnellkupplung lösbar mit dem restlichen Teil des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 zu verbinden. Damit besteht die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, in Anpassung an unterschiedliche Einsatzbedingungen bei einem Minimum an Umrüstzeiten jeweils optimal wirksame Mitnahmeorgane 27 einzusetzen.To optimize various special jobs, such as suction of gravel below the thresholds or below line conductors it can be advantageous to extend the entrainment members 27 by their Change training. To do this, it is useful to use the lower, the suction opening 16 and the entrainment members 27 comprising the area of the intake manifold end section 9 detachable with a quick coupling with the rest of the part to connect the intake manifold end section 9. So there is the advantageous Possibility of adapting to different operating conditions a minimum of changeover times each optimally effective entrainment organs 27 use.

    Wie in Fig. 3 ersichtlich, können Mitnahmeorgane 30 durch eine entsprechende Verformung von Abschnitten der Saugöffnung 16 gebildet werden. Diese Mitnahmeorgane 30 sind durch über die Saugebene nach unten vorragende Schaufeln 31 gebildet, deren in Drehrichtung (s. Pfeil) des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 vorderen Endbereiche 32 weiter von der Längsachse 23 distanziert sind als die in Drehrichtung hinteren Bereiche 33. Durch diese eine turbinenschaufelartige Ebene höherer Ordnung bildenden Mitnahmeorgane 30 wird Schotter zur Verbesserung der Saugleistung in radialer Richtung nach innen zur Saugöffnung 16 bewegt.As can be seen in FIG. 3, entrainment members 30 can be replaced by a corresponding one Deformation of sections of the suction opening 16 are formed. This Driving elements 30 are protruding downward beyond the suction level Paddles 31 formed, in the direction of rotation (see arrow) of the end of the intake manifold 9 front end regions 32 further distanced from the longitudinal axis 23 are as the rear areas 33 in the direction of rotation Take-along organs 30 forming higher order becomes gravel to improve the suction power in the radial direction moved inside to the suction opening 16.

    Bei der in Fig. 4 aufgezeigten Ausführungsvariante ist der Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 als drehbar am Saugrohr 10 gelagerter Ring 43 ausgebildet, an dem die fingerförmigen Mitnahmeorgane 27 lösbar befestigt sind. Die Rotation des Ringes 43 um die Längsachse 23 wird durch eine mit dem Drehantrieb 26 verbundene Antriebsstange 44 und einem Antriebsritzel 25 erzielt.In the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 4, the end of the intake manifold is 9 designed as a ring 43 rotatably mounted on the suction pipe 10, on which the finger-shaped entrainment members 27 are releasably attached.

    Fig. 5 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9, wobei sich der die Saugöffnung 16 bildende Bereich in einer durch strichpunktierte Linien dargestellten Saugöffnungs-Ebene 34 befindet. Diese schließt mit der Längsachse 23 des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 einen Winkel α ein. Dieser beträgt vorzugsweise 45°, kann jedoch in Abhängigkeit von der gewünschten Größe der Saugöffnung 16 zweckmäßigerweise zwischen etwa 30° und 50° variieren. Um die ellipsenförmige Saugöffnung 16 sind zahnförmig abstehende Mitnahmeorgane 27 verteilt. Durch die Schräglage der Saugöffnung 16 ist insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Drehung des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 um die Längsachse 23 ein verbesserter Effekt zur Absaugung des Schotters auch unterhalb der Schwellen erzielbar. Fig. 5 shows a side view of a suction pipe end section 9, wherein the area forming the suction opening 16 in a dash-dotted line suction opening level 34 shown. This closes with the Longitudinal axis 23 of the intake pipe end section 9 an angle α. This is preferably 45 °, but can vary depending on the desired one Size of the suction opening 16 expediently between about 30 ° and Vary 50 °. There are tooth-like protrusions around the elliptical suction opening 16 Driving organs 27 distributed. Due to the inclined position of the suction opening 16 is particularly associated with the rotation of the end of the intake manifold 9 around the longitudinal axis 23 an improved effect for suction of the ballast can also be achieved below the thresholds.

    Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte weitere Variante eines Saugrohr-Endabschnittes weist ebenfalls eine schrägliegende Saugöffnung 16 auf, die durch eine Abwinkelung des unteren Endbereiches des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 zustande kommt.The further variant of an intake manifold end section shown in FIG. 6 also has an inclined suction opening 16 which is bent of the lower end region of the intake pipe end section 9 is coming.

    Die in Fig. 7 und 8 ersichtliche Variante zeigt einen Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 mit einem koaxial zu diesem angeordneten, im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Schubrohr 35, das durch einen schematisch angedeuteten Antrieb 36 mit Hilfe von Führungen 37 relativ zum Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 höhenverstellbar ausgebildet ist. Während der Saugrohr-Endabschnitt 9 eine schrägliegende erste Saugöffnung 16 gemäß Fig. 5 aufweist, ist das untere Ende des Schubrohres 35 mit einer zweiten Saugöffnung 38 ausgestattet. Diese liegt in einer senkrecht zur Längsachse 23 verlaufenden Saugöffnungs-Ebene 39. Mit dieser Variante besteht die Möglichkeit, wahlweise unter entsprechender Verschiebung des Schubrohres 35 entweder mit einer senkrecht zur Längsachse 23 verlaufenden Saugöffnung 38 (Fig. 7) oder mit einer schrägen Saugöffnung 16 (Fig. 8) abzusaugen. In beiden Stellungen erfolgt mit Hilfe eines nicht näher dargestellten Drehantriebes eine kontinuierliche Rotation des Saugrohr-Endabschnittes 9 um die Längsachse 23.The variant shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 shows an intake pipe end section 9 with a coaxial to it, circular in cross section Thrust tube 35 by means of a schematically indicated drive 36 height of guides 37 relative to the intake pipe end section 9 is trained. During the intake pipe end section 9 a sloping 5 has the first suction opening 16, is the lower end of the push tube 35 equipped with a second suction opening 38. This is in one Suction opening plane 39 running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23. With this There is a variant, optionally with a corresponding shift of the push tube 35 either with a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 23 extending suction opening 38 (Fig. 7) or with an oblique suction opening 16 (Fig. 8) to suction.
