Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rail-bound transport wagon with a bunker that is laterally delimited by side walls and with a conveyor device that runs continuously in the area of the bunker floor, conveys upward from the loading end in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and projects over the buffers at the discharge end, with the clear wall height of the side walls of the bunker above the total wagon length is essentially the same.
  • the transfer height to the following wagon essentially corresponds to the thickness of the projecting conveyor belt part and is significantly less than the clear height of the side walls of the bunker (side wall height above the conveyor belt top), which limits the height of the material column being conveyed upwards.
  • a disadvantage of the Hägglund wagons is that the height of the material column is continuously increased when conveying over a larger number of transport wagons connected in series decreases (deliquescence). This means that the bunker capacity given by the bunker width and length and the clear height of the side walls is no longer fully utilized in the wagons at the rear of the conveyor chain, and additional wagons are required (coarser train length) to accommodate a certain amount of material.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cost-effective transport wagon that can be used on railway lines and has a favorable payload / dead load ratio, the bunker capacity of which is well utilized even when conveying via several similar transport wagons.
  • the height difference of the conveyor between the loading end and the discharge end is substantially equal to the inside wall height of the side walls of the bunker or coarser than this wall height, and in that the frame connecting the two bogies is in its middle, essentially between the two bogies lying area is raised and runs there in the area of the sloping bunker.
  • the frame of the transport wagon raised between the two bogies, supports the bunker in this area.
  • the bunker can be designed with a comparatively low empty weight in such a way that a large volume of material can be taken up, which results in a favorable payload / dead load ratio.
  • the material transfer height is in such a transport wagon in a subsequent wagon of the same type, coarser or equal to the maximum material height, which is limited over the entire length of the wagon by an essentially the same clear height of the side walls.
  • the transport wagon at its discharge end always transfers the material essentially from above onto the material at the loading end of the next wagon, which means that the height of the material column being conveyed, which extends to the full clear height of the side walls of the bunker, is essentially retained even over many transport wagons connected in series.
  • the rough bunker capacity of the individual transport wagons which is roughly the same over the entire length of the wagon, is fully utilized and the train length can be kept shorter.
  • the design of the transport wagon according to the invention allows a further mode of operation in which the material is resting on the conveyor at a low height Material is conveyed over (several) transport wagons and then stored in a specific transport wagon using the full bunker contents.
  • the conveyor of the storage transport wagon is operated in the so-called stop-and-go process, ie one waits until a material accumulation has formed on the conveyor at the loading end of the storage transport wagon, the height of which corresponds approximately to the clear height of the side wall of the bunker , and then moves a little further with the conveyor. Due to the design of the transport wagon in accordance with the innovation, one single conveyor device (per transport wagon), ie without a separate transfer belt for material transfer to the following wagon, is sufficient.
  • the large transfer height achieved by the relatively large height difference of the conveyor between the loader and the discharger allows material to be stored in the storing transport wagon up to the full clear height of the side walls (through supervised stop-and-go operation of the storing conveyor belt even when material is fed unevenly) of the bunker, i.e. using the full bunker capacity.
  • the transport wagons are successively filled with material that is being conveyed from previous transport wagons at a low height. After some transport wagons have been filled, they can be uncoupled from the rest of the train and driven away. The material is now stored in the remaining transport wagons.
  • the accumulated part is saved, advantageously up to the full clear height of the bunker side walls Transfer the material column in the remaining transport wagons into these empty transport wagons, whereby due to the new design of the transport wagons, a decrease in the material height and a related poor utilization of the bunker contents can be largely avoided even if the material column is passed on over several transport wagons.
  • Suitable conveyor devices are, in particular, endlessly rotating conveyor belt units which are deflected via deflection devices at the loading end and discharge end, the upper run of the conveyor belt unit running obliquely upwards in one plane from the loading end to the discharge end.
  • the frame in the middle area of the transport wagon is formed only from the bunker stiffened in the middle area mentioned.
  • the buffer forces can be safely absorbed without providing a separate frame that connects the two bogies below the sloping bunker.
  • the force introduction from the frame part carrying the buffers, on which the respective bogie is also mounted, in the middle bunker stiffened with reinforcing elements is advantageously carried out by means of struts which run obliquely upwards.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a transport wagon according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the transport wagon shown in FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows schematically the transfer of a material column from a transport wagon to the following wagon
  • FIG. 4 shows schematically the storage operation in which material is stored at a low height and / or discontinuously in the following wagon using the full bunker capacity.
  • the transport wagon shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a bunker delimited by side walls 1 with areas 1a chamfered at the top, in the bottom area of which a belt conveyor device 3 is arranged, which runs obliquely upwards in the longitudinal direction of the wagon from the loading end 4 and at the discharge end 5 the buffers 6 protrude in order to enable material to be transferred to the following wagon 7, which is only partially shown.
  • the belt conveyor device shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially consists of an endlessly rotating belt conveyor unit which is deflected around the deflection drums 8 and 9 and is driven by the deflection drum (drive drum) 9 arranged at the discharge end.
  • the height difference ⁇ H of the conveyor 3, 8 and 9 between the loading end 4 and the discharge end 5 is substantially equal to the inside wall height h of the side walls 1 of the bunker or greater than this wall height h.
  • the clear wall height of the side walls 1 of the bunker is the same over the entire length of the bunker in the exemplary embodiment shown and is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the height difference of the conveyor 3, 8, 9 between loading end 4 and discharge end 5 can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the design of the transport wagons according to the invention allows a further operating mode shown in FIG. 4, in which material 11 lying at a low height and / or only partially on the conveying device 3 is first conveyed via (several) transport wagons and then in a specific transport wagon (the Follow car 7) is saved using the full bunker content.
  • the conveyor 3 'of the storing transport wagon 7 in the so-called stop-and-go method, ie one waits until a material accumulation has formed on the conveyor 3', the height of which corresponds approximately to the clear height h of the side wall 1 of the bunker and then moves a bit further with the conveyor 3 '.
  • the design of the transport wagon can be done with a single, continuous conveyor (per transport wagon), that is, without a separate transfer belt for material transfer to the following wagon 7.
  • the large transfer height achieved by the relatively large height difference .DELTA.H of the conveying device 3 between the loading end 4 and the discharge end 5 allows material to be stored in the storage transport wagon 7 up to the full clear height h of the side walls of the bunker, that is to say using the full bunker capacity.
  • a supervised stop-and-go operation of the storage conveyor belt 3 ' can be achieved even with unevenly fed via the conveyor belt 3, a relatively uniform material storage up to the full clear height of the storage bunker.
  • the frame 23 is in the central region of the bogies 15 and 16, which is essentially between the two bogies Transport wagons pulled up and running there in the area of the obliquely upward bunker, which is reinforced in this area by reinforcing elements 17 running obliquely upward in order to be able to absorb the forces that arise.
  • the force is introduced from the frame parts 18 and 19, which support the buffers 6 and on which the bogies 15 and 16 are mounted, into the stiffened bunker in the central region essentially via oblique struts 20 and 21.
  • the bunker has spaced-apart stanchions distributed over the length of the bunker in the central region, which are connected to the side walls 1 and, as can be seen from FIG. 2, are closed at the top. These stanchions can be pulled further down in the end regions of the bunker below the bunker floor and connected to the frame parts 18 and 19, respectively.
  • the transport wagon shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is characterized by a simple, weight-saving structure which, together with the large bunker content, enables a favorable payload / dead load ratio.
  • the space underneath the frame area 23 drawn up between the bogies can advantageously be used to accommodate in particular a diesel engine, a hydraulic device, a fuel tank, a brake system and / or an operating cabin (not shown in more detail).
  • belt conveyor other continuous conveyors such as scraper chain conveyors, steel link belts or vibrating troughs etc. are used.
  • Continuous is also understood to mean those conveying devices in which the actual conveying means consists of individual, interconnected and jointly driven elements. It is essential, however, that the transport wagon according to the invention manages without a separate transfer belt for the material transfer to the next wagon and is therefore structurally simple, and can use the full wagon length for material storage in the full clear height of the side walls.
