The trailer lift allows lateral positioning of the trailer. A siding (79) has an embankment (89) supporting a rolling portal (76) to carry a road vehicle onto a wagon.

Description

 DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is, as a new industrial product, a device for transporting trailers and tractors on the road, as well as their intermodal transfer at the origin and the terminus of the railway route.

In the current practice, some adjustments have been made. Transport of single trailers, with retractable axles upwards, is organized. It is carried out by means of special bogies equipped with coupling systems for wagons, as well as buffers and air connections and lines, and braking of the train.

These accessories are only installed on one side of the bogie. This requires the correct orientation of the bogies before the installation of the trailer.

The loading operations are carried out in the following order: A first bogie is positioned on the track, this way is a way, type harbor way, drowned in the ground.

The trailer tractor unit comes in reverse in contact with the first truck.

The retractable axles of the trailer are raised the rear frame of the trailer is based on the bogie.

The lock between the bogie and the rear end of the trailer is done manually.

The unhitched tractor is erased. The front of the trailer kept raised by his crutches.

A second bogie is brought under the front of the trailer which is then lowered on the second bogie.

The crutches are raised and the front of the trailer lowers. Locking of the trailer to the bogie is done manually.

The trailer to be equipped by construction brake lines, it is proceeded to the connection of the latter with those of bogies.

 This technique generates a large number of manipulations, resulting in loss of time detrimental to the speed of delays asked road hauliers. In the case of significant traffic of this type on the same site it results in the multiplication of the time required for the treatment of each vehicle, as well as the requirement to have a very large space if we want to increase the simultaneity of movements, with the aim of reducing delays.

This new device is remarkable in that it allows movement of loads in the rail gauge B +, and the use of a wagon (1) of the same characteristics to transport either a tractor or a trailer.

It also offers the choice of ensuring either the transport of the trailer alone or that of the two vehicles on two wagons coupled to each other convoy, according to the wishes of the users.

It comprises a wagon (1), equipped with lifting and translation devices (108) for trailer, lift (109) tractor, essential for the transfer on rail or road of the two types of vehicles transported.

Regarding the terminal, the latter by its equipment, platform (79), pit (89), bridge crane (76) is able to process the evolutions of these vehicles, the wharf on the wagon and vice versa.

In addition in the event of significant traffic, the terminal may be provided with a dock (79) on each side of the parking lane. Each of the platforms being surmounted, pairs of bridges (76) alternate with respect to those opposite platform.

This solution facilitates the evolutions of arrival, departure of road convoys, their establishment and their withdrawal from the bridge crane (76).

The establishment or withdrawal of the wagon is effected by lateral translation of the overhead crane (76), the wharf (79) to the car (1) and vice versa.

 control of the elevating members and translators located on the wagon (1), are grouped on one or other of the platforms (35).

With regard to the loading of a trailer, the operations follow one another in the following manner. The tractor brings the trailer onto a first traveling crane (76), is unhitched and then advances on a second crane (76). ) located in front of the first, he parked there for his own embarkation.

The trailer traveling crane is set in motion to the correctly aligned car (1), when it coincides perfectly with the surface of the car on which the trailer is to be lowered, it is stopped. The beams (41) are then controlled at elevation to lift the trailer to allow removal of the crane (76). The latter is brought back to the platform (79), on the pit (89), waiting for another use.

The trailer is possibly correctly aligned laterally in its transport position by means of the translation system (1 which is controlled in the desired direction, each end of the trailer can be aligned separately by an identical operation.

The lowering is controlled, the beams (41) let the trailer come to rest by the sill of its ends on the platforms (36) of the wagon (1). Two bookings (39), in the floor of (36), allow the hitch pin of the trailer to the tractor, to enter regardless of the direction of loading of the trailer.

It should be noted that the wheels of this one do not rest any floor. Its weight is only supported by the chassis to the right of the bogies. The central beam in its part (11) does not undergo any vertical stress in the case of a trailer transport.

Maneuvers to proceed to the withdrawal require the following order lifting by the device (l08) (41), brought the crane (76) on the wagon under the trailer, lowering (108) (41) to let the trailer rest on the traveling crane (76), lowering of the front crutches of the trailer.

The overhead crane (76) is brought back to the platform (79) with the trailer, a tractor can be attached to it and reach the road.

The operations for loading the tractor parked on the second crane (76) can take place simultaneously with those of the trailer.

They follow the following order: The crane (76) is brought on the wagon (1) parked in front of the previous one, reached the correct place where the tractor must be lowered, it is stopped. The tractor lifting device (109) is controlled at lifting, the frame (92) comes into contact with the underside of the tractor side members, the latter leaves the contact with the bridge (76). The bridge is removed to the wharf (79).

The tractor lift (109) (92) is lowered, the tractor rests on the floor (27), it is wedged using the wedging elements (58).

Inverse maneuvers allow removal of the tractor from the wagon. In order to compensate for the deflection of the central portion of the wagon (1) during the evolutions of the crane under load, eight jacks (63) distributed in this zone are lowered, they come into contact with the rail by means of skids ( l 15) following the upper plane thereof.

An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of indication and in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawings.

The car (1) is constituted by the assembly of metal sections, hollow section.

It is composed of: a longitudinal longitudinal beam having a longitudinal profile (10), from the ends to the bottom the inclined portion, and a longitudinal section (11) in its central low horizontal portion , two side members having a longitudinal profile (13), from their end to the bottom of the inclined portion, and a longitudinal profile (12) in their horizontal lower part.

These three previous elements, are connected transversely in their lower horizontal part, by eight consoles (19) distributed equitably four by four on either side of the median beam. Six other consoles (20) shorter than the preceding, arranged between the latter, are secured three by three, the median beam (11) on either side of it.

In their upper parts (10) and (13), beams and longitudinal members, are connected transversely by crosspieces arranged, from each of the ends towards the center, in the order: a front cross member (14) a (15) one (16) one (9).

Between the crosspieces (14) and (15) at each end, a location is reserved for the traction device 51), this space is delimited by two cleats (21) subject to these sleepers.

A floor (37) covers each end of the wagon (1) constituting two platforms (35). These platforms are intended for the installation of rail braking accessories, control console of the lifting members, hydraulic pump, power supply (110) etc .....

On the crosspieces (9) and (16), a floor (38) is placed, creating two platforms (36) on which come to rest the side sills, extreme of the trailer, in transport position by train.

An oval hole (39) is reserved on this floor (38) of each platform (36). The coupling pin of the trailer to the tractor enters when the latter is lowered on the wagon (1). Under the lower part of the frame of the wagon (1), close to the perpendicular of the crosspieces (16) two beams (26) are secured. They are intended to receive the upper part of the bogies (22).

On each side member in their portion (13) are reserved two bores (60). The median beam in its parts (10), also has two bores (32). These bores permeate the introduction of the screw ramp axis (53) for driving the blocks (44) and (52) of the trailer lifting / translation assembly (108).

In the lower central part, on the brackets (19), are fixed ruts (30). They allow the wheels (77) of the traveling crane (76), to roll thereon and spoilers (117) preceding the wheels during the movement of the traveling crane (76) to the wagon (1) to guide its trajectory .

Against the vertical walls of the median beam (10) and (11) on each side is fixed a removable formwork (33). It serves to protect various pipes and cables. A floor (27) is disposed between the brackets (20) defining the resting surface of the tractor during transport. It serves to fix the lifting device (109) of the latter, as well as that of the wedging elements (58) of the wheels of the tractor.

In order to raise or lower a trailer, it is installed on the wagon (1), two pairs of lifting / translation groups (l08).

These groups are located at the top of the rising portion of (10) and (13) of the middle beam and side members near the platforms (36).

They act on the underside of the trailer, near its ends. Their action at these points is transmitted to the trailer by two transverse beams (41).

These beams (41) by their design, make each, two solidarity groups 08) which are thus paired in their movements, vertical and lateral.

Each group (108) consists of two blocks. The block (44) performs the elevating function and participates in the translating function. as regards the former, it serves as a support for the block (52) and the screw ramp (42) and the motor / gear unit (l 14).

As for its second function, it ensures the hollow profile of its lower part, the sliding around the beam (18), facilitating the latter. This disposition also contributes to the support of the group (108).

The lifting ramp (42) consists of a rod machined male screw. It is extended in its lower part by an axis, on which is fitted a toothed pinion gear (45) and then inserted into a ball bearing (98), a circlip (158) ensures the immobilization of this part of axis in the bearing. An attachment block (99) brackets the bearing (98) to make the assembly integral with the upper table of the block (44). The ramp (42) somewhat exceeds the beam (4).

The sheath (70), an integral part of the block (52), makes the latter integral with the block (44).

The block (52) provides the group (108) with the transverse translation movement. It has in its rear part, a horizontal female screw machining (56). In this machining is housed an axis (53), provided with two ramps machined male screw. When in rotation, this axis (53) drives and moves block (52). In its front portion the block (52) is traversed by two vertical ducts (68) and (70) which allow the sliding of the columns (67) and (71) of the lifting beam (41).

In one group (108), the sheaths (68) and (70) are reversed in relation to one another on the blocks (52). Each sheath (70) extends under the block (52) by a sheath (142) which is fixed on the block (44).

The lifting beam (41) has four vertical columns (67), two (70) and one (67). In the columns (67), rotate the ramps (42); The columns (71) serve as guides.

The inside of the columns (67) is machined as a female screw. Each block (44) supports a geared motor (114).

The operation of a group (108), thus breaks down For the lifting action, by setting in motion the geared motors (114) have their synchronized speed. By their toothed pinion (96), they drive the toothed gears (95) of the screw ramps (42), the latter, depending on the direction of rotation, are screwed or unscrewed in the columns (67) driving the ones' in a movement ascending or descending and the beam (41) with them.

The movements of the two groups (108) must be synchronized, with the possibility of being ordered separately.

For the lateral translation action, the displacement of a beam (4) is the result of the rotation of a geared motor (61) fixed to the crossmember (9) which, by its output gear, drives a pinion (54), mounted on the axis (53) thereof, rotates, in its direction of rotation, it drives the blocks (52) the group (108) and also the beam (41) to the right or vçrs the left.

 In order to facilitate the assembly of (53) and the insertion in the machining (145) of the rear part of the blocks (52), this axis is divided into two parts which are assembled by tenon and mortise (146) in the bore (64) of the middle beam (10). Maintaining the two half-axes in contact is provided by two needle stop caps (147), closing the orifices of the bores (60) by screwing against the outer vertical flanks of the side members, in their portion (13).

The beams (18), which support each assembly (108), through the block (44) are arranged in their upper plane to receive rollers (46).

The attachment of each beam (1 on the one hand to the vertical flank of the central beam, on the other hand to the vertical side of a side spar, is provided by two plates, one (73) secured to the beam ( 18), the other (74) removable This solution facilitates the insertion of the beam (18) in the block (44), before the subjection thereof to the frame of the car (1).

If it is desired to raise or lower the tractor on the wagon (1) when it comes to putting it in place or removing it, it is installed on the latter in its low central part, a system (109). It consists of a chassis (92), four lifting ramps with male screw machining, (93) and (94), two geared motors (43), toothed gears (45), (49), (55), of two ball bearings (47) of four blocks of fastenings thereof (40) of two axes (48), of two bearings (50) with their supports (51), of four ball bearings ( 47), four fixing blocks (40) thereof.

The frame (92) consists of two end portions, (148) having in the top an obvious (143), in the bottom a second obviously (144), they are interconnected at the top by two longitudinal members (149). ), the recess (143) makes it possible to avoid contact with the tractor's axle shaft.

The obvious (144), avoids the profile of the median beam in its lower part (11).

Each of these ends (1 is machined internally in the form of a screw, on one side in steps on the right, on the other in steps on the left.

The four machined male ramps, two stepping right (93), two stepping left (94), are intended to be screwed respectively in the corresponding machining of the ends (1 Each of these ramps (93) or (94), apart from the inversion of their winding pitch, comprises, following the screw, an axle extended downwards, axle is fitted into a toothed gear, (45), passes through a bearing fixing block (40), fits into a ball bearing (47), is secured thereto by a circlip (158) and is bolted to the floor (27).

On the floor (27), on either side of the central beam (11), are arranged two geared motors (43). Each of these geared motors (43) drives, with the aid of its output gear, another pinion gear (55), set on an axis (48), which comprises at each of its ends, a gear pinion. angle (49) engaging the corner gear (45), each ramp (93) and (94). The latter are rotated in opposite directions relative to each other. By unscrewing, the ramps ensure the mounting of the frame (92) which abuts against the longitudinal members of the tractor chassis, lifting it.

The axis (48), journalled in bearings (50) themselves fixed to the floor (27).

When the traveling crane (76) is brought onto the wagon (1), the ramps (93) and (94) of the ends (l48) fit into the gaps (80) of the crane (76), the chassis (92) does not interfere with the removal of the traveling bridge (76). The latter can be brought back to the platform (79), on the pit (89). The tractor can engage the platform floor (79).

The platform (79) is located on both sides of the track parallel to it, its distance from the rail complies with railway standards, and its height is such that the traveling bridge (76) is engages easily on the wagon (1) when it is fully loaded. Its constitution corresponds to those commonly used in practice.

A pit (89) is dug in the dock (79). It is intended to receive the crane (76). The upper level of the overhead crane (76) should be flush with the floor of the platform (79). It should be noted that the cylinders (63) can be used to raise the level of the wagon (1) by a few millimeters.

The pit (89) is equipped with four rows of five masonry studs (103). The axis of these rows is arranged along a line perpendicular to the axis of the track.

These studs (103) serve as supports for rut rails (90) which are traversed by wheels (77) of the crane (76) in its evolutions to the wagon (1).

Three other studs (104) also masonry, are arranged on a parallel line the way, inside the pit (89), as close as possible to its wall along the track. These studs (104) support pads (105) in which a horizontal axis (81) is journalled. This axis has at its ends two toothed gears (85).

A third gear (106) located on the axis (81) to the right of the geared motor (87) driven by the output gear (107) rotates the shaft (81), the bridge (76) urged by the racks (86) integral with its base, moves on its pit.

The traveling crane (76) constitutes a metal frame of rectangular shape. It is formed of rails and sleepers. These elements are distributed as follows: taking as origin the longest dimension of the bridge (76) located closest to the edge of the wharf (79) and from left to right It is necessary a spar (127), a space (80), a spar (121), a space (80), a spar (120), a spar (119), a spar 20).

At the rear, from left to right, a spar (l 18) over the entire length. In the width direction, from left to right A crossbar (123), an empty space reserved for the installation of a row of five wheels (77), a crossbar (124), a void space, crosses ( 124), a space for a row of five wheels (77), a cross member (124) forwards a gap (80), a cross member (122), a wheel space (128), a cross member (122), an empty space, a cross member (122), a wheel space (128), a cross member (122), a gap (80), a cross member (124), a wheel space (77), a cross member (124), an empty space, a cross member (124), a wheel space (77), a cross member (13) limiting the right side. The twenty wheels (77) arranged by lines of five in the void spaces between the crosspieces (113), (123), (124), have their axes which pivot in the form of half-pads (l26) reserved in the lower part. these sleepers, they are covered by half pads (125). These are made integral with the sleepers with bolts through the half-pads (126).

In the central front part of the traveling crane (76), between the two gaps (80) and between the crosspieces (122), are arranged two wheels (128) identical to the wheels (77), secured to the cross members (122), the same way as used for wheels (77). This arrangement avoids the bending of the floor (130), this part of the bridge (76), during the movement on the latter, trailers and tractors, when he parked on his pit (89). In this position, the wheels (128) rest on a masonry stud (112), suitably disposed in the pit (89). The gaps (80) reserved in the bridge (76) allow it when it is on the car (1), to dodge the ramps (93) and (94) of the tractor lift (109).

Clarification is required with respect to the portion (130) of the deck floor (76). There is no risk of sagging during the journey from the wharf to the wagon or during the stay on (1), as there is no vehicle movement.

 In the extension of the lines of the wheels (77) are arranged against the spars (l27) and (129), four spoilers (117).

Their profile, allows them to enter before the wheels (77) in the ruts rails (30) of the car (1), thus serving as guides to complete the alignment rails-ruts (30) of the car (1), rails- ruts (90) from the pit (89).

In addition, the alignment of wagons (1) pits (89) must be ensured by the modularity of their longitudinal dimensions. It must also be done by measures taken by the operators to ensure that the wagons (1) or wagons of wagons (1) are stopped in a fixed manner at a specific point, so that the ruts (30) of the wagon ( 1) and (90) of the traveling crane (76) are in concordance. A variant may be envisaged to ensure the vertical movements of the trailer lifter (108), the lifting and lowering, replacing the operation by screw ramps, by that of hydraulic cylinders. This solution eliminates the screw ramps (42), the geared motors (61) ball bearings (47), their fixing blocks (99), the gear (95) and (96). The column (69) becomes (67), the screw machining is replaced by a bore receiving the heads of the cylinders (72). The latter are secured on the blocks (44) using their attachment piece (75).

The same technique can be adopted for the tractor lift (109), four cylinders (62) remove the four screw ramps (93) and (94), the two geared motors (43), the axes of rotation (48) the gearbox (45), (49), (55), bearing supports (51), bearings (50), bearings (47), their fixing blocks (40). The cylinders are fixed to the floor (27), using parts (24). lower ends of (148) and (149) are no longer machined female screws (93) and (94), but bored to receive the head of the cylinders (72). The mounting of the translation is not affected by the variant.

 In order to feed the various engines, the wagon (1) is equipped with an electric power distribution line (l10) which can be connected to that of other wagons and in a joke to the traction vehicle, as well as than a source installed on the platform (79). This line is housed for the most part in the formwork (33), branches serve the two platforms (35). On one of these platforms is installed a hydraulic pump (111), a control panel (97) and cabinet (152) to accommodate the auxiliary controls. The stabilizers (63) for stabilizing the chassis of the wagon (1) are powered by a pump (11) Depending on the choice, the geared motors (43), (61), and (114) can be electric or hydraulic.

In the case of use of the variant, all the cylinders (62), (63), (72) served by the pump (1l1), itself served by the power line (11 In all cases of option this hydraulic pump is chosen according to the power to be supplied to all the cylinders or geared motors.

The motors, cylinders, pumps are chosen from the ranges offered by supplier catalogs. The rail members, have their reserved locations on the frame of the wagon (1 traction device (151), in (102) on the beams (14), the buffers (66) also on the beam (14), the bogies, under the beams (26) near the ends, the brake air hoses (156) against the end end beams (14), the braking auxiliaries on one of the end platforms (36) All components already exist in the railroad industry It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown which is only an example to which many modifications can be made without having to Fig. 1 shows a loaded wagon (1) of a trailer in a transport position on a railroad, which is a side view in elevation, which is distinguished from the present invention. the spar and parts (13) and (1) 2), the platforms (35) and (36), the beams (41) for lifting the trailer, the frame (92) of the tractor lift (109), the part <B> (11 </ B>) center of the median beam, the floor rests tractor (27), the block (52) of the trailer lifter (108).
