Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anhebesystem zum Aufgleisen eines Schienenfahrzeugs, insbesondere einer Lokomotive, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a lifting system for derailing a rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zum Aufgleisen eines Schienenfahrzeugs sind aus der Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 20 2010 009 292 U1 Anhebekonsolen bekannt, die seitlich an Längsträgern des Wagenkastens des Schienenfahrzeugs anzubringen sind. Die Anhebekonsolen weisen jeweils einen Klauenabschnitt auf, der den Längsträger untergreift. Zum Anheben des Schienenfahrzeugs wird als Hebevorrichtung entweder ein Hebekran, dessen Tragseil über eine Schlaufe mit einem Anhebebolzen der Anhebekonsole verbunden wird, oder aber eine Aufgleisbrücke eingesetzt, deren Hebekraft über eine Anhebeplatte der Anhebekonsole eingeleitet wird.To reroute a rail vehicle are from the utility model DE 20 2010 009 292 U1 Lifting consoles known to be mounted laterally on longitudinal members of the car body of the rail vehicle. The lifting brackets each have a claw portion which engages under the side rail. For lifting the rail vehicle is used as a lifting device either a lifting crane, the support cable is connected via a loop with a lifting bolt of the lifting bracket, or a Aufgleisbrücke whose lifting force is introduced via a lifting plate of the lifting console.

Die Hebevorrichtung wird dabei seitlich des Schienenfahrzeugs angeordnet und stützt sich neben dem Gleis auf den Untergrund ab. Bei eingeschränkten Platzverhältnissen in diesem Gleisbereich, insbesondere in einem Tunnel, kann diese Lösung daher nicht eingesetzt werden. Stattdessen wird in solchen Situationen ein Kranwagen eingesetzt, der frontal vor das Fahrzeugende des Schienenfahrzeugs gefahren wird, an dem das entgleiste Fahrwerk des Schienenfahrzeugs angeordnet ist. Bei Schienenfahrzeugen mit Mittelpufferkupplung wird das Tragseil des Kranwagens dann um den Kupplungsschaft der Mittelpufferkupplung gelegt, um das Schienenfahrzeug anheben und das entgleiste Fahrwerk aufgleisen zu können. Nachteilig an diesem Verfahren ist, dass der Kupplungsschaft als Aufhängungspunkt für das Tragseil nur bis zu einer gewissen Schaftlänge verwendbar ist, da ab dieser Schaftlänge die Mittelpufferkupplung selbst oder ihre mechanische Verbindung zum Untergestell des Schienenfahrzeugs der wirksamen Hebekraft nicht mehr sicher standhält.The lifting device is arranged at the side of the rail vehicle and is supported by the track on the ground. With limited space in this track area, especially in a tunnel, this solution can therefore not be used. Instead, a crane truck is used in such situations, which is driven frontally in front of the vehicle end of the rail vehicle on which the derailed chassis of the rail vehicle is arranged. In rail vehicles with central buffer coupling, the support cable of the crane truck is then placed around the coupling shaft of the central buffer coupling to lift the rail vehicle and to derail the derailed suspension can. A disadvantage of this method is that the coupling shaft is used as a suspension point for the supporting cable only up to a certain shaft length, since from this shaft length, the central buffer coupling itself or its mechanical connection to the undercarriage of the rail vehicle of the effective lifting force no longer withstand safe.

DE 17 79 864 U1 offenbart ein Aufgleisungsgerät aus einem Eisenbahnkranwagen mit einem drehbaren Kranteil undeinem Ausleger, der mit einem Hubwerk ausgerüstet ist. Unterhalb_des Auslegers ist eine Pratze in Form einer Winkeltraverse mit abgeknicktem Ende angeordnet. Dessen unteres Ende ist gabelförmig ausgebildet und dient als Greifer, der mit einer Holzauflage versehen ist. Beim Aufgleisen eines entgleisten Eisenbahnwagens wird zunächst die Pratze mit Hilfe des Drehteils in die erforderlicheRichtung gedreht und dann mit dem Greifer unter den Wagen geschoben. Mit Hilfe des Hubwerks wird dann der Wagen angehoben, wobei sich die Holzauflage infolge einer kreuzgelenkartigen Lagerung der Pratze an die Schräglage des entgleisten Wagens anpassen kann. Nachdem der Wagen etwas angehoben ist, kann er mit Hilfe des Drehteils aufgegleist werden. DE 17 79 864 U1 discloses a derailment device of a railway crane truck having a rotatable crane part and a boom equipped with a hoist. Below the jib, a claw is arranged in the form of an angle traverse with a bent end. Its lower end is fork-shaped and serves as a gripper, which is provided with a wooden support. When derailing a derailed railway car, the pawl is first rotated in the required direction by means of the rotating part and then pushed with the gripper under the carriage. With the help of the hoist then the car is raised, with the wood support can adapt as a result of a universal joint-like storage of the claw to the inclined position of the derailed car. After the car is slightly raised, it can be raised with the help of the rotating part.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Anhebesystem zum Aufgleisen eines Schienenfahrzeugs bereitzustellen, bei dem eine frontal vor einem Schienenfahrzeug positionierbare Hebevorrichtung ansetzbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a lifting system for rerailing a rail vehicle, in which a frontally positioned in front of a rail vehicle lifting device can be attached.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Anhebesystem mit den in Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Ein Anhebesystem zum Aufgleisen eines Schienenfahrzeugs, insbesondere einer Lokomotive, umfasst demnach einen an einem Frontende des Schienenfahrzeugs quer zu dessen Fahrzeuglängsachse verlaufenden Profilträger einer Untergestellstruktur des Schienenfahrzeugs. Ferner umfasst es ein von einer Hebevorrichtung anheb- und absenkbares Greifelement mit zwei hakenförmigen Greiflaschen, deren Hakenprofil mit dem Profilträger korrespondiert. Dabei sind die Greiflaschen zum Anheben und Absenken des Schienenfahrzeugs durch Untergreifen des Profilträgers symmetrisch zur Fahrzeuglängsebene in Eingriff bringbar. Die Untergestells truktur weist eine einen Kupplungskäfig bildende Trageeinheit mit Frontöffnung auf, durch die hindurch sich eine Mittelpufferkupplung mit integriertem Energieverzehrelement erstreckt, wobei der Profilträger einen oberen Rand der Frontöffnung bildet, und wobei die Greiflaschen derart voneinander beabstandet sind, dasssie zum In-eingriffbringen des Greifelements durch Absenken zu beiden Seiten der Mittelpufferkupplung und durch anschließendes Eintauchen in die Frontöffnung unter den Profilträger positionierbar sind. Durch Integration eines Energieverzehrelementes in die Mittelpufferkupplung weist der Kupplungsschaft eine Länge beziehungsweise Beschaffenheit auf, die eine, verwendung, der Mittelpufferkupplung als mittige Anhebestelle für eine Hebevorrichtung ausschließt. Der stattdessen als Anhebestelle dienende Profilträger ist Teil der Trageeinheit, die die Untergestiellstruktur des Schiehenfahrzeugs unter dessen Führerstand fortsetzt. Die Trageeinheit selbst kann einen in das Untergestell integrierten Plateauabschnitt, zwei Seitenwandungsabschnitte und eine Fahrbahnräumeraufnahme aufweisen. Der so gebildete Kupplungskäfig weist konstruktionsbedingt ein hohes Biegemoment auf und kann daher die über den Profilträger, der sich zwisehen den Seitenwandungsabschnitten erstreckt, eingeleiteten Zugkräfte der Hebevorrichtung zum Anheben des Schienenfahrzeugs übertragen. Hierdurch wird eine frontale, mittige Anhebestelle am Schienenfahrzeug bereitgestellt, die aufgrund ihrer konstruktiven Integration in die Untergestellstruktur den eingeleiteten Zugkräften der Hebevorrichtung standhält. Ein Ansetzen der Hebevorrichtung an einer Mittelpufferkupplung des Schienenfahrzeugs kann hierdurch vermieden werden, da die auftretenden Zugkräfte von langen Kupplungsschäften nicht sicher auf das Untergestell des Schienenfahrzeugs übertragen werden können. Stattdessen setzt erfindungsgemäß ein Greifelement mit zwei Greiflaschen an dem als Anhebestelle ausgebildeten Profilträger an. Dabei ist das Hakenprofil der Greiflaschen an den Profilquerschnitt des Profilträgers angepasst, so dass ein sicheres Untergreifen und damit ein sicheres Anheben und Absenken des Schienenfahrzeugs an dessen Frontende möglich ist. Dabei stützt sich der Profilträger auf zwei symmetrisch zur Fahrzeuglängsmittenebene angeordnete, durch die Greiflaschen gebildete Auflagepunkte auf.The object is achieved by a lifting system with the features specified in claim 1. A lifting system for derailing a rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, accordingly comprises a profile carrier of a subframe structure of the rail vehicle running transversely to its vehicle longitudinal axis at a front end of the rail vehicle. Furthermore, it comprises a lifting element which can be raised and lowered by a lifting device and has two hook-shaped gripping lugs, the hook profile of which corresponds with the profile carrier. In this case, the gripping tabs for raising and lowering of the rail vehicle by engaging under the profile carrier symmetrically to the vehicle longitudinal plane can be brought into engagement. The undercarriage structure has a coupling cage-forming support unit with front opening, through which extends a central buffer coupling with integrated energy absorbing element, wherein the profile carrier forms an upper edge of the front opening, and wherein the gripping tabs are spaced apart from each other, dasssie for engaging the gripping member can be positioned under the profile support by lowering to both sides of the central buffer coupling and by subsequent immersion in the front opening. By incorporating an energy dissipation member into the center-buffer coupling, the coupling shank has a length which precludes use of the center-buffer coupling as a central hoisting location for a hoist. The instead serving as a lifting profile carrier is part of the support unit, which continues the Untergestiellstruktur the Schiehen vehicle under the driver's cab. The support unit itself may comprise a plateau section integrated in the underframe, two side wall sections and a roadway scraper receiver. The coupling cage thus formed has a high bending moment due to the design and can therefore be over the profile carrier, the zwisehen extending the Seitenwandungsabschnitten transmitted tensile forces of the lifting device for lifting the rail vehicle. As a result, a frontal, central lifting point is provided on the rail vehicle, which withstands the initiated tensile forces of the lifting device due to its constructive integration into the undercarriage structure. An attachment of the lifting device to a central buffer coupling of the rail vehicle can thereby be avoided, since the tensile forces occurring by long coupling shafts can not be safely transmitted to the undercarriage of the rail vehicle. Instead, according to the invention, a gripping element with two gripping tabs attaches to the profile carrier designed as a lifting point. In this case, the hook profile of the gripping tabs is adapted to the profile cross-section of the profile carrier, so that a secure under reaching and thus a safe lifting and lowering of the rail vehicle at the front end is possible. In this case, the profile carrier is supported on two support points arranged symmetrically to the vehicle longitudinal center plane and formed by the gripping tabs.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Anhebesystems weist das Greifelement einen horizontal liegenden Gelenkbolzen aufweist, mit dem die Greiflaschen drehbar verbunden sind. Durch den Gelenkbolzen können Relativbewegungen zwischen der das Greifelement tragenden Hebevorrichtung und dem Schienenfahrzeug beim Aufgleisen ausgeglichen werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the lifting system according to the invention, the gripping element has a horizontal hinge pin, with which the gripping tabs rotatable are connected. By the hinge pin relative movements between the gripping element supporting the lifting device and the rail vehicle can be compensated when rerailing.

Vorzugsweise weist das Greifelement des erfindungsgemäßen Anhebesystems zwei Anhebegurte auf, welche jeweils an einem Ende mit dem Gelenkbolzen drehbar verbunden sind und an dem anderen Ende mit der Hebevorrichtung verbindbar sind. Die Anhebegurte stellen eine Schnittstelle zwischen dem Gelenkbolzen einerseits und andererseits beispielsweise einem Kranhaken eines als Hebevorrichtung ausgebildeten Hebekrans dar. Alternativ kann die Schnittstelle auch durch Ketten gebildet werden. Bei Verwendung einer als Kran ausgebildeten Hebevorrichtung kann der Kranhaken auch direkt, also ohne weitere Schnittstelle, in das Greifelement einhaken.Preferably, the gripping element of the lifting system according to the invention on two lifting straps, which are each rotatably connected at one end to the hinge pin and connectable to the lifting device at the other end. The lifting straps provide an interface between the hinge pin on the one hand and on the other hand, for example, a crane hook of a lifting crane designed as a lifting device. Alternatively, the interface can also be formed by chains. When using a crane designed as a lifting device, the crane hook can hook directly into the gripping element, ie without further interface.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung umfasst das erfindungsgemäße Anhebesystem eine betätigbare Sicherungseinrichtung, mittels welcher das mit dem Profilträger in Eingriff gebrachte Greifelement gegen ein Außereingriffbringen bei ausbleibender Zugkraft der Hebevorrichtung sicherbar ist. Solange das in Eingriff gebrachte Greifelement eine Zugkraft überträgt besteht ein fester Sitz zwischen Greifelement und Profilträger. Damit die Relativposition zwischen Greifelement und Profilträger bei wegfallender Zugkraft nicht ungewollt verloren geht, kann eine Sicherungseinrichtung betätigt werden, die ein Außereingriffbringen verhindert. Damit können Beschädigungen des Schienenfahrzeugs durch ein unkontrolliertes Fallen oder Schwenken des ungesicherten Greifelements verhindert werden.In a preferred embodiment, the lifting system according to the invention comprises an actuatable securing device, by means of which the gripping element brought into engagement with the profile carrier can be secured against disengagement in the event of a lack of tensile force of the lifting device. As long as the engaged gripping element transmits a tensile force, there is a tight fit between the gripping element and the profile carrier. So that the relative position between the gripping element and the profile carrier is not accidentally lost when the traction force disappears, a securing device can be actuated which prevents a disengagement. This damage to the rail vehicle can be prevented by an uncontrolled falling or pivoting of the unsecured gripping element.

Vorzugsweise weist die Sicherungseinrichtung des erfindungsgemäßen Anhebesystems ein am Schienenfahrzeug befestigtes Sicherungselement und ein die Greiflasche durchsetzendes Durchgangsloch zur Aufnahme des Sicherungselementes auf, wobei die Sicherungseinrichtung durch Herstellung einer formschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Sicherungselement und Greiflasche betätigbar sind. Das Sicherungselement kann als Karabiner oder als Stift mit Splint ausgebildet und durch eine am Schienenfahrzeug befestigte Kette in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit eingeschränkt sein. Das Sicherungselement kann aber auch mittels eines Seils, Schrauben, eines Hebels, oder dergleichen am Schienenfahrzeug befestigt sein. Auf diese Weise können nur eine Greiflasche oder auch beide Greiflaschen durch Formschluss gesichert sein.The securing device of the lifting system according to the invention preferably has a securing element fastened to the rail vehicle and a through hole penetrating the gripping strap for receiving the securing element, wherein the securing device can be actuated by producing a positive connection between securing element and gripping strap. The securing element can be designed as a carabiner or as a pin with a split pin and be restricted in its freedom of movement by a chain fastened to the rail vehicle. But the fuse element can also be secured by means of a rope, screws, a lever, or the like on the rail vehicle. In this way, only one gripping tab or both gripping tabs can be secured by positive locking.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Anhebesystems ist der Profilträger als Aufkletterschutz zur Verhinderung eines Aufsteigens des Schienenfahrzeugs bei einer Kollision mit einem anderen Schienenfahrzeug ausgebildet. Hierbei kann der Profilträger von der stirnseitigen Oberfläche des Fahrzeugfront hervorspringen und gegebenenfalls mit Querrippen versehen sein, die sich mit einem entsprechenden Aufkletterschutz eines kollidierenden Schienenfahrzeugs verhakt und dabei dem Aufsteigen und Entgleisen eines der Schienenfahrzeuge entgegenwirkt. Alternativ kann der Profilträger irgendein Teil der Fahrzeugstruktur sein, der den beim Anheben eingeleiteten Kräften standhält; dies kann neben dem Aufkletterschutz auch ein Kupplungsträger, ein Kopfquerträger, eine Pufferplatte oder ähnliches sein.In an advantageous embodiment of the lifting system according to the invention, the profile carrier is designed as a climbing protection for preventing an ascent of the rail vehicle in a collision with another rail vehicle. Here, the profile carrier can project from the frontal surface of the vehicle front and optionally be provided with transverse ribs, which hooks with a corresponding Aufkletterschutz a colliding rail vehicle while counteracting the ascent and derailment of one of the rail vehicles. Alternatively, the tread carrier may be any part of the vehicle structure which withstands the forces applied during lifting; this can be in addition to the anti-climber and a clutch carrier, a head cross member, a buffer plate or the like.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Anhebesystems ist die Hebevorrichtung als Kranwagen mit Tragseil ausgebildet, wobei das Tragseil mit dem Greifelement, beispielsweise mit dessen Anhebegurten, verbindbar ist. In dieser Ausführung ist die Hebevorrichtung schnell am Einsatzort eines Schienenfahrzeugs mit entgleistem Fahrwerk verfügbar und nimmt dort auch gleich die erforderliche Position auf dem Gleis vor dem Frontende des Schienenfahrzeugs ein. Von besonderem Vorteil ist dies bei einem in einen Tunnel befindlichen Einsatzort, an dem seitlich des Gleises wenig oder kein Platz für eine Hebevorrichtung verfügbar ist.In a further advantageous embodiment of the lifting system according to the invention, the lifting device is designed as a crane truck with carrying cable, wherein the supporting cable with the gripping element, for example, with the lifting straps, is connectable. In this embodiment, the lifting device is quickly available at the place of use of a rail vehicle with derailed suspension and takes there immediately the required position on the track in front of the front end of the rail vehicle. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a place of use located in a tunnel, at the side of the track little or no space for a lifting device is available.

Due to the cage-like structure of the support unit 5, this has a high bending moment, so that high tensile forces can be absorbed without the support unit 5 must be made of extra thick material. The hooking system of the gripping tabs 22 corresponds to the cross-sectional profile of the profile carrier 15. The gripping tabs 22 are symmetrical for raising and lowering the rail vehicle by engaging under the profile carrier 15 engageable with the vehicle longitudinal median plane. The gripping element 21 has a horizontal hinge pin 23, with which the gripping tabs 22 are rotatably connected. The gripping element 21 also has two lifting straps 24, which are each rotatably connected at one end to the hinge pin 23 and are connectable to the lifting device at the other end.

Außerdem umfasst das Anhebesystem 20 eine betätigbare Sicherungseinrichtung 25, mittels welcher das mit dem Profilträger 15 in Eingriff gebrachte Greifelement 21 gegen ein Außereingriffbringen bei ausbleibender Zugkraft der Hebevorrichtung sicherbar ist. Die Sicherungseinrichtung 25 weist ein am Schienenfahrzeug angekettetes Sicherungselement, das im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Stift 26 ausgebildet ist, und ein die Greiflasche 22 durchsetzendes Durchgangsloch 27 zur Aufnahme des Sicherungselementes auf. Dabei ist die Sicherungseinrichtung 25 durch Herstellung einer formschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Sicherungselement 26 und Greiflasche 22 betätigbar. Die Greiflaschen 22 sind derart voneinander beabstandet, dass sie zum Ineingriffbringen des Greifelements 21 durch Absenken zu beiden Seiten der Mittelpufferkupplung 18 und durch anschließendes Eintauchen in die Frontöffnung 19 unter den Profilträger 15 positionierbar sind. Die Hebevorrichtung kann als Kranwagen mit Tragseil ausgebildet sein, wobei das Tragseil mit den Anhebegurten 24 des Greifelements 21 verbindbar ist. Hiermit kann die Lokomotive 1 angehoben und somit aufgegleist werden.In addition, the lifting system 20 comprises an actuatable securing device 25, by means of which the gripping element 21, which is brought into engagement with the profile carrier 15, can be secured against disengagement if there is no pulling force of the lifting device. The securing device 25 has a securing element chained to the rail vehicle, which is designed as a pin 26 in the illustrated embodiment, and a the gripping tab 22 passing through hole 27 for receiving the securing element. In this case , the securing device 25 can be actuated by producing a positive connection between the securing element 26 and the gripping strap 22. The gripping tabs 22 are spaced apart such that they are positionable for engaging the gripping member 21 by lowering to both sides of the central buffer coupling 18 and by subsequent immersion in the front opening 19 under the profile support 15. The lifting device can be designed as a crane truck with carrying cable, wherein the carrying cable can be connected to the lifting straps 24 of the gripping element 21. Hereby the locomotive 1 can be raised and thus uplifted.
