Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schienenverladezug zum Transport sowie zum Auf- und Abladen von Langschienen, mit einer Anzahl von auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützten Verladewagen, denen in Wagenlängsrichtung voneinander distanzierte Schienenauflager zugeordnet sind, die jeweils auf einer Auflagerstütze um eine vertikale Achse von einer senkrecht zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Inbetriebstellung in eine in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Außerbetriebstellung drehbar gelagert und durch eine Arretiervorrichtung in der gewünschten Stellung fixierbar sind.The invention relates to a rail loading train for transporting and loading and unloading long rails, with a number of loading wagons supported on rail bogies, to which rail supports spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the wagon are assigned, each on a support support about a vertical axis from a start-up running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wagon can be rotatably mounted in an inoperative position running in the longitudinal direction of the carriage and can be fixed in the desired position by a locking device.

Ein derartiger Schienenverladezug ist bereits aus der DE 12 08 326 B bekannt und besteht aus einer Vielzahl von miteinander gekuppelten Wagen. Diese sind zur Lagerung der zu transportierenden Langschienen mit am Wagenrahmen befestigten und in Wagen- bzw. Zuglängsrichtung voneinander distanzierten Schienenauflagern ausgestattet, die die Lagerung von mehreren Schichten von Schienen in Etagen übereinander ermöglichen. Jedes - einer Etage zugehörige - Schienenauflager besteht aus zwei horizontalen Tragbalken, die jeweils an einem Ende auf einer Auflagerstütze um eine vertikale Achse drehbar gelagert sind, wobei diese beiden vertikalen Stützen in Wagenquerrichtung einander gegenüberliegend im Flankenbereich des Verladewagens angeordnet sind. In der Außerbetriebstellung sind die Tragbalken parallel zur Wagenlängsachse enlang der Wagenflanke in einander entgegengesetzter Richtung ausgerichtet, um den Zugang zu den Schienen in der darunterliegenden Etage zu erlauben. Im Einsatz werden die - jeweils eine Hälfte des Auflagers bildenden - Tragbalken um 90° gegeneinander eingeschwenkt und in der Wagenmitte miteinander verriegelt.Such a rail loading train is already known from DE 12 08 326 B and consists of a large number of cars coupled together. For the storage of the long rails to be transported, these are equipped with rail supports which are fastened to the carriage frame and are spaced apart from one another in the carriage or longitudinal direction of the carriage and which enable the storage of several layers of rails in tiers one above the other. Each - belonging to a floor - rail support consists of two horizontal support beams, each of which is rotatably supported at one end on a support support about a vertical axis, these two vertical supports being arranged opposite one another in the flank area of the loading wagon in the transverse direction of the wagon. In the non-operating position, the support beams are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the wagon along the side of the wagon in opposite directions to allow access to the rails on the floor below. In use, the support beams - each forming one half of the support - are swiveled in by 90 ° against each other and locked together in the middle of the carriage.

Ein ähnlicher Schienenverladezug ist weiters in der DE 27 34 748 B geoffenbart. Das horizontale Verschwenken der Schienenauflager zwischen den beiden Stellungen sowie das Verriegeln in der jeweiligen Position erfolgt händisch durch eine Bedienungsperson, die hierzu den gesamten Zug abschreiten muß. Aufgrund der immer länger werdenden Langschienenverladezüge und der dementsprechend großen Anzahl von zu manipulierenden Schienenauflagern ist dies ein sehr zeit- sowie arbeitsintensiver Vorgang, der unproduktive Wartezeiten erzwingt.A similar rail loading train is also disclosed in DE 27 34 748 B. The horizontal pivoting of the rail supports between the two positions and the locking in the respective position is done manually by an operator who has to walk the entire train for this. Due to the ever longer long rail loading trains and the correspondingly large number of rail supports to be manipulated this is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process that forces unproductive waiting times.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun in der Schaffung eines Schienenverladezuges der eingangs beschriebenen Art, bei dem der zur Bedienung erforderliche Arbeitsaufwand wesentlich reduzierbar ist.The object of the present invention is now to create a rail loading train of the type described in the introduction, in which the amount of work required for operation can be reduced considerably.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einem gattungsgemäßen Schienenverladezug dadurch gelöst, daß jedem Schienenauflager ein eigener Schwenkantrieb zugeordnet und die Arretiervorrichtung für eine automatische Verriegelung des Schienenauflagers nach Beendigung der Schwenkbewegung ausgebildet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention with a generic rail loading train in that each rail support is assigned its own pivot drive and the locking device is designed for an automatic locking of the rail support after the end of the pivoting movement.

Mit dieser Ausbildung ist es nun möglich, das In- und Außerbetriebstellen bzw. Verschwenken der Schienenauflager unter beträchtlicher Verminderung und Vereinfachung des Arbeitsaufwandes ferngesteuert durchzuführen. Da die an die Schwenkbewegung anschließende Arretierung der Schienenauflager in der jeweiligen Position automatisch vonstatten geht, ist bei einer vereinfachten Bedienung auch ein Höchstmaß an Sicherheit in Verbindung mit der Schienenverladung gewährleistet. Dies bringt nicht nur eine sehr vorteilhafte Beschleunigung des Arbeitsablaufes und eine damit einhergehende Verkürzung der Wartezeiten auf ein absolutes Minimum mit sich, sondern führt auch zu einer wesentlichen Erhöhung der Sicherheit des Arbeitspersonals, da nun die im Abschreiten von 300m langen Zügen und Manipulieren von schweren Vorrichtungen enthaltenen Gefahrenquellen eliminiert werden.With this training, it is now possible to remotely control the putting into and out of operation or pivoting the rail supports while considerably reducing and simplifying the workload. Since the locking of the rail supports in the respective position, which follows the pivoting movement, takes place automatically, simplified operation also ensures the highest level of safety in connection with loading the rails. This not only brings a very advantageous acceleration of the workflow and a consequent reduction in waiting times to an absolute minimum, but also leads to a significant increase in the safety of the workforce, since the 300m-long trains and the manipulation of heavy equipment contained sources of danger are eliminated.

Die Ansprüche 2 bis 7 beschreiben vorteilhafte und bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung. Die Variante gemäß Anspruch 8 und 9 bietet eine zusätzliche Optimierung des sicherheitstechnischen Aspektes, die mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand erzielbar ist.Claims 2 to 7 describe advantageous and preferred developments of the invention. The variant according to claims 8 and 9 offers an additional optimization of the safety aspect, which can be achieved with little design effort.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand in den Zeichnungen dargestellter Ausführungsbeispiele näher erklärt.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

Ein in Fig. 1 lediglich zum Teil dargestellter Schienenverladezug 1 setzt sich aus einer Anzahl von auf Schienenfahrwerken 2 abgestützten Verladewagen 3 zusammen und ist zum Transport von Langschienen 4 sowie zu deren Auf- und Abladen mittels eines auf dem Zug verfahrbaren Portalkranes 5 ausgebildet. Zur Auflage der Langschienen 4 dienen Schienenauflager 6, die auf den Verladewagen 3 in Wagenlängsrichtung voneinander distanziert angeordnet sind und deren genauerer Aufbau aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist.A rail loading train 1 shown only in part in FIG. 1 is composed of a number of loading wagons 3 supported on rail running gear 2 and is designed for the transport of long rails 4 and for their loading and unloading by means of a portal crane 5 which can be moved on the train. Rail supports 6, which are arranged on the loading wagons 3 at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and serve for supporting the long rails 4, and whose more precise structure can be seen in FIGS.

Die Schienenauflager 6 bestehen jeweils aus einem horizontalen Tragbalken 7, der an seiner Oberseite mit Rollen 8 zur längsverschiebbaren Auflage der Langschienen 4 ausgestattet ist. Der Tragbalken 7 jedes Schienenauflagers 6 ist an seinem einen Ende mit einer Lagerhülse 14 verbunden, die um eine vertikale Achse 9 drehbar auf einer Auflagerstütze 10 gelagert und koaxial zu deren Längsachse 24 positioniert ist. Die Auflagerstütze 10 wiederum ist auf einem Wagenrahmen 11 des Verladewagens 3 montiert. Das Schienenauflager 6 ist von einer senkrecht zur Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Inbetriebstellung (Fig. 2) in eine in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufende Außerbetriebstellung (Fig. 3) verschwenkbar.The rail supports 6 each consist of a horizontal support beam 7, which is equipped on its top with rollers 8 for the longitudinally displaceable support of the long rails 4. The support beam 7 of each rail support 6 is connected at one end to a bearing sleeve 14 which is rotatably supported on a support support 10 about a vertical axis 9 and is positioned coaxially with its longitudinal axis 24. The support bracket 10 is in turn mounted on a carriage frame 11 of the loading carriage 3. The rail support 6 can be pivoted from an operating position (FIG. 2) running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the car into an inoperative position (FIG. 3) running in the longitudinal direction of the car.

Es sind jeweils zwei Schienenauflager 6 übereinander bzw. in vertikaler Richtung voneinander distanziert angeordnet und bilden so zwei Etagen 12 zur Aufnahme von je einer Schichte von Langschienen 4, wobei eine dritte, unterste Etage 12 durch eine mit Rollen 8 versehene Ladeplattform 13 des Wagenrahmens 11 gebildet wird. Zur zusätzlichen Abstützung der Tragbalken 7 der Schienenauflager 6 bei voller Beladung sind mittige Stützrippen 35 vorgesehen. Die Auflagerstützen 10 der der mittleren und oberen Etage zugeordneten Schienenauflager 6 sind jeweils - in Wagenquerrichtung einander gegenüberliegend - an den Längsseiten des Wagenrahmens 11 angeordnet.Two rail supports 6 are arranged one above the other or at a distance from one another in the vertical direction and thus form two levels 12 for receiving a layer of long rails 4 each, a third, lowest level 12 being formed by a loading platform 13 of the carriage frame 11 provided with rollers 8 becomes. For additional support of the support beams 7 of the rail supports 6 when fully loaded, central support ribs 35 are provided. The support supports 10 of the rail supports 6 assigned to the middle and upper floors are each arranged on the longitudinal sides of the carriage frame 11, opposite one another in the transverse direction of the carriage.

Zur Durchführung der Verschwenkbewegung der Schienenauflager 6 ist diesen jeweils ein eigener Schwenkantrieb 15 zugeordnet, der unterhalb der Ladeplattform 13 an einer mit dem Wagenrahmen 11 verbundenen Konsole 16 befestigt und als Hydraulikantrieb ausgebildet ist. Die Kolbenstange 17 des Schwenkantriebes 15 ist an einer koaxial zur vertikalen Längsachse 24 angeordneten und um diese verschwenkbar gelagerten Schwenkstange 18 angelenkt, die wiederum mit ihrem oberen Ende mit der Lagerhülse 14 des Schienenauflagers 6 verbunden ist. Am der Lagerhülse 14 entgegengesetzten, freien Ende jedes Schienenauflagers 6 befindet sich ein Begrenzungsanschlag 19, der während der Inbetriebstellung zur Anlage an die der Lagerhülse jeweils gegenüberliegende Auflagerstütze 10 vorgesehen ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist jede Auflagerstütze 10 mit einer Einrastnut 20 zum Einrasten eines unteren Randes 21 des Begrenzungsanschlages 19 versehen. Ein weiterer Anschlag 22 ist am Wagenrahmen 11 befestigt und dient zur Begrenzung der Verschwenkung in der Außerbetriebstellung.To carry out the pivoting movement of the rail supports 6, a separate pivot drive 15 is assigned to each of them, which is attached below the loading platform 13 to a bracket 16 connected to the carriage frame 11 and is designed as a hydraulic drive. The piston rod 17 of the swivel drive 15 is articulated on a swivel rod 18 which is arranged coaxially to the vertical longitudinal axis 24 and is pivotably mounted about this, which in turn is connected at its upper end to the bearing sleeve 14 of the rail support 6. At the free end of each rail support 6 opposite the bearing sleeve 14 there is a limit stop 19 which is provided during the start-up for contact with the support bracket 10 opposite the bearing sleeve. For this purpose, each support bracket 10 is provided with a latching groove 20 for latching in a lower edge 21 of the limit stop 19. Another stop 22 is attached to the carriage frame 11 and serves to limit the pivoting in the inoperative position.

Um die Schienenauflager 6 in der Inbetriebstellung bzw. Außerbetriebstellung zu fixieren, ist eine Arretiervorrichtung 23 vorgesehen, die für eine automatische Verriegelung des Schienenauflagers nach Beendigung der Schwenkbewegung ausgebildet ist. Die - in Fig. 4 im Detail ersichtliche - Arretiervorrichtung 23 ist jeweils durch eine Kulissensteuerung 25 gebildet, die aus einer in der Lagerhülse 14 angebrachten schlitzförmigen Kulisse 26 und einem mit dieser zusammenwirkenden Kulissenbolzen 27 besteht, der mit der Schwenkstange 18 verbunden ist. Die Kulisse 26 hat die Form eines umgekehrten flachen V. Die Lagerhülse 14 liegt auf einem einen Teil der Auflagerstütze 10 bildenden Abstützring 30 auf und weist eine über den unteren Rand 28 der Lagerhülse vorstehende Blockiernase 29 auf. Der Abstützring 30 weist seinerseits zwei bezüglich der Längsachse 24 um 90° voneinander distanzierte Blockierkerben 31 zum Einrasten der Blockiernase 29 auf.In order to fix the rail supports 6 in the commissioning or non-operating position, a locking device 23 is provided, which is designed for an automatic locking of the rail support after the swiveling movement has ended. The locking device 23, which can be seen in detail in FIG. 4, is formed in each case by a link control 25, which consists of a slot-shaped link 26 fitted in the bearing sleeve 14 and a link pin 27 which interacts with it and which is provided with the pivot rod 18 is connected. The link 26 has the shape of an inverted flat V. The bearing sleeve 14 rests on a support ring 30 forming part of the support bracket 10 and has a locking lug 29 projecting beyond the lower edge 28 of the bearing sleeve. The support ring 30 in turn has two blocking notches 31 spaced apart from one another with respect to the longitudinal axis 24 by 90 ° for latching the blocking nose 29.

Bei Beaufschlagung des Schwenkantriebes 15 und Rotation der Schwenkstange 18 kommt es infolge der Bewegung des Kulissenbolzens 27 in der Kulisse 26 zuerst zu einem Hochheben der Lagerhülse 14 mitsamt dem Schienenauflager 6, da die Blockiernase 29 deren Rotation vorerst verhindert. Dadurch wird auch der Tragbalken 7 von der Stützrippe 35 abgehoben. Sobald die Blockiernase 29 zur Gänze aus der Blockierkerbe 31 nach oben geschoben ist, beginnt der Kulissenbolzen 27 als Mitnehmer zu wirken und versetzt die Lagerhülse 14 in Rotation um die Längsachse 24. Nach Durchführung einer 90°igen Schwenkbewegung rastet die Blockiernase 29 in der anderen Blockierkerbe 31 des Abstützringes 30 durch das Eigengewicht des Schienenauflagers 6 wieder ein und arretiert so das Schienenauflager 6 in der Endposition.When the swivel drive 15 is acted on and the swivel rod 18 rotates, the movement of the link pin 27 in the link 26 first causes the bearing sleeve 14 together with the rail support 6 to be lifted, since the blocking lug 29 initially prevents their rotation. As a result, the support beam 7 is also lifted off the support rib 35. As soon as the locking lug 29 has been pushed completely out of the locking notch 31, the link pin 27 begins to act as a driver and sets the bearing sleeve 14 in rotation about the longitudinal axis 24. After a 90 ° pivoting movement, the locking lug 29 snaps into the other locking notch 31 of the support ring 30 due to the dead weight of the rail support 6 and thus locks the rail support 6 in the end position.

Jedem Schienenauflager 6 ist zudem in jeder der beiden Endpositionen ein Endschalter 32 zugeordnet, der zur Betätigung eines optischen und/oder akustischen Meldesystems 33 ausgebildet ist. Dieses weist jeweils am oberen Ende einer Auflagerstütze 10 befestigte Lampen 34 auf, die der im Portalkran 5 befindlichen Bedienungsperson die Beendigung der über Funkfernsteuerung ausgelösten Verschwenkung bzw. das Verriegeln der Schienenauflager 6 in der jeweiligen Endposition deutlich anzeigen.In each of the two end positions, each rail support 6 is also assigned a limit switch 32, which is designed to actuate an optical and / or acoustic signaling system 33. This has lamps 34 attached to the upper end of a support bracket 10, which clearly indicate to the operator located in the gantry crane 5 that the pivoting triggered by radio remote control has ended or that the rail supports 6 have locked in the respective end position.

In Fig. 5 (bei der, ebenso auch wie in Fig. 6, für funktionsgleiche Teile dieselben Bezugszeichen wie beim bereits beschriebenen Beispiel beibehalten werden) ist eine Arretiervorrichtung 36 zu sehen, die als Nockensteuerung 37 ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist der untere Rand 28 der Lagerhülse 14 mit trapezförmigen Nocken 38 versehen, denen Kerben 39 im Abstützring 30 zugeordnet sind. Insgesamt vier formschlüssig ineinander passende Paare von Nocken und Kerben sind jeweils um 90° versetzt rund um die Auflagerstütze 10 angeordnet und gestatten ein Einrasten des Schienenauflagers 6 in der In- bzw. Außerbetriebstellung durch das Eigengewicht des Schienenauflagers nach erfolgter Drehung anhand der - mit der Lagerhülse 14 verbundenen - Schwenkstange 18. (Als zusätzliche Möglichkeit wäre es denkbar, den unteren Rand der Lagerhülse und den zugeordneten oberen Rand des Abstützringes in Form einer Sinuskurve gewellt zu gestalten. Dadurch wäre eine Verminderung der Reibung zwischen Lagerhülse und Abstützring während der Verschwenkung erzielbar.)5 (in which, just as in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are retained for functionally identical parts as in the example already described), a locking device 36 can be seen, which is designed as a cam control 37. The lower edge 28 of the bearing sleeve 14 is provided with trapezoidal cams 38, which notches 39 in the support ring 30 are assigned. A total of four form-fitting pairs of cams and notches are each offset by 90 ° around the support bracket 10 arranged and allow a snap-in of the rail support 6 in the in or inoperative position by the weight of the rail support after rotation using the - connected to the bearing sleeve 14 - swivel rod 18. (As an additional option, it would be conceivable to the lower edge of the bearing sleeve and to make the assigned upper edge of the support ring wavy in the form of a sinus curve. This would reduce the friction between the bearing sleeve and support ring during pivoting.)

Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Arretiervorrichtung 40 besteht aus einem Blockierriegel 41, der in einem vertikalen Schlitz 42 in der Auflagerstütze 10 geführt ist und dem - um 90° gegeneinander versetzte - Einrastnuten 43 zugeordnet sind. Diese sind im oberen Rand 44 der rotierbaren Lagerhülse 14 angeordnet, deren unterer Rand 28 glatt ausgeführt ist und auf dem Abstützring 30 gleitet. Um die Arretiervorrichtung 40 für eine Verschwenkung des Schienenauflagers 6 zu entriegeln, wird der Blockierriegel 41 mittels eines Solenoids 45 angehoben, so daß die Lagerhülse 14 anhand der Schwenkstange 18 unter Beaufschlagung des Schwenkantriebes in Rotation versetzt werden kann. Nach Erreichen der Endposition des Schienenauflagers 6 rastet der Blockierriegel 41 aufgrund der Schwerkraft wieder in den Einrastnuten 43 ein. Das Solenoid 45 ist zweckmäßigerweise mit dem Meldesystem 33 bzw. den Endschaltern 32 und Lampen 34 gekoppelt.The locking device 40 shown in FIG. 6 consists of a locking bar 41 which is guided in a vertical slot 42 in the support bracket 10 and which are associated with snap-in grooves 43 which are offset by 90 °. These are arranged in the upper edge 44 of the rotatable bearing sleeve 14, the lower edge 28 of which is smooth and slides on the support ring 30. In order to unlock the locking device 40 for pivoting the rail support 6, the blocking bolt 41 is raised by means of a solenoid 45, so that the bearing sleeve 14 can be set in rotation by means of the pivot rod 18 while acting on the pivot drive. After the end position of the rail support 6 has been reached, the locking bar 41 engages again in the engagement grooves 43 due to the force of gravity. The solenoid 45 is expediently coupled to the signaling system 33 or the limit switches 32 and lamps 34.

Alternativ ist es natürlich auch möglich, anstelle zweier in Wagenquerrichtung einander gegenüberliegender Auflagerstützen eine einzige, bezüglich der genannten Querrichtung mittig angeordnete Auflagerstütze zu verwenden.Alternatively, it is of course also possible to use a single support support, which is arranged in the transverse direction of the carriage and instead of two support supports arranged centrally in the transverse direction.
