Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Herzstück für eine Weiche, mit einer federnd beweglichen, zwei Spitzenstücke aufweisende Herzstückspitze.The invention relates to a centerpiece for a switch, with a resiliently movable, two centerpieces with centerpieces.

Herzstücke der eingangs genannten Art sind bereits aus der DE - U - 66 00 010 oder der DE - U - 66 10 186 bekannt. Bei den bekannten Ausführungen sind die beiden Spitzenstücke der Herzstückspitze als Sonderprofile ausgebildet, die über Schweißverbindungen mit den Anschlußschienen fest verbunden sind. Die Federbeweglichkeit der Herzstückspitze ergibt sich durch entsprechende Federstellen an den Anschlußschienen. An den Federstellen sind die Anschlußschienen eingekerbt, ausgenommen oder in anderer Weise geschwächt.The heart of the type mentioned at the beginning is already known from DE-U-66 00 010 or DE-U-66 10 186. In the known versions the two tip pieces of the frog tip are designed as special profiles, which are firmly connected to the connecting rails via welded connections are. The spring mobility of the centerpiece tip results from corresponding Spring points on the connecting rails. At the spring points are the Notched, gutted, or otherwise weakened connector rails.

Nachteilig bei der bekannten Ausführung ist jedoch, daß sich die Schweißverbindungen zwischen den Spitzenstücken und den Anschlußschienen im bewegten Bereich der Herzstückspitze befinden. Damit unterliegt der Anschlußbereich nicht unerheblichen Belastungen, was die Gefahr eines Bruches in sich birgt und damit ein Sicherheitsrisiko darstellt.A disadvantage of the known design, however, is that the welded joints between the tip pieces and the connecting rails in the moving Area of the frog tip. This is subject to the connection area not inconsiderable burdens, what the risk of breaking in hides and therefore represents a security risk.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Ausführung liegt darin, daß es sich bei den Spitzenstücken um Sonderprofile handelt, die nicht nur vergleichsweise teuer sind, sondern auch ein relativ hohes Gewicht haben. Aufgrund des hohen Gewichtes sind zum Teil nicht unerhebliche Stellkräfte und dementsprechend dimensionierte Antriebe erforderlich. Bei beengten Einbauverhältnissen kann dies zu nicht unerheblichen Problemen führen.Another disadvantage of the known design is that it is the top pieces are special profiles that are not only comparative are expensive, but also have a relatively high weight. Because of the high Weight are not insignificant actuating forces and accordingly dimensioned drives required. In confined spaces this can lead to not inconsiderable problems.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Herzstück der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, das einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen ist, geringe Stellkräfte erfordert und bei dem Sicherheitsrisiken auch nach häufigem Stellen nicht auftreten.The object of the present invention is therefore a heart of the beginning to provide the type mentioned, which is easy and inexpensive to manufacture is low actuators and security risks do not occur after frequent placement.

Die zuvor hergeleitete Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß die Spitzenstücke jeweils aus Zungenschienenprofilen hergestellt sind. Von besonderem Vorteil ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, daß als Zungenschienenprofile standardisierte Regel-Zungenschienenprofile, insbesondere Mangan-Zungenschienen verwendet werden, wobei die Verbindungsstellen der Spitzenstücke zu den Anschlußschienen außerhalb des federbeweglichen Bereiches vorgesehen sind.According to the invention, the previously derived task is essentially as a result solved that the tip pieces each made of tongue rail profiles are. It is particularly advantageous in this context that as tongue rail profiles standardized standard tongue rail profiles, in particular Manganese tongue rails are used, the connection points of the tip pieces to the connecting rails outside the spring movable Area are provided.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ergeben sich eine Reihe von wesentlichen Vorteilen. Durch die Verwendung von standardisierten Regel-Zungenschienen als Spitzenstücke kann auf einfache und kostengünstige Profile zurückgegriffen werden, die lediglich durch abtragende Bearbeitung zu dem neuen Einsatz als Spitzenstück eines Herzstücks bearbeitet werden müssen. Auf teuere Sonderanfertigungen kann dabei verzichtet werden. Darüber hinaus zeichnen sich Regel-Zungenschienen durch ein verringertes Gewicht gegenüber den sonderangefertigten Spitzenstücken aus, so daß entsprechend geringere Stellkräfte und dementsprechend geringer dimensionierte Antriebe erforderlich sind. Des weiteren können bei Verwendung von Regel-Zungenschienenprofilen die Spitzenstücke relativ lang ausgebildet werden, so daß auch die Federstellen im Bereich der Spitzenstücke vorgesehen und damit die Verbindungsstellen der Spitzenstücke zu den Anschlußschienen außerhalb des federnd beweglichen Bereiches sind. Damit wird die Verbindungsstelle aus dem bewegten Bereich der Herzstückspitze herausverlagert, so daß das Risiko, das sich die Verbindung zwischen den Spitzenstücken und den Anschlußschienen löst oder bricht, verringert ist.The configuration according to the invention results in a number of essential ones Benefits. By using standardized control tongue rails as top pieces can be on simple and inexpensive profiles to be used, which can only be done by machining the new insert as the centerpiece of a heart must be processed. There is no need for expensive custom-made products. About that In addition, standard tongue rails are characterized by their reduced weight compared to the custom-made lace pieces, so that accordingly lower actuating forces and accordingly smaller drives required are. Furthermore, when using standard tongue rail profiles the tip pieces are made relatively long, so that the spring points are provided in the area of the tip pieces and thus the connection points of the tip pieces to the connecting rails outside of the resiliently movable area. This will be the junction moved out of the moving area of the frog tip, so that the Risk that the connection between the tip pieces and the connecting rails loosens or breaks, is reduced.

Die Spitzenstücke können grundsätzlich durch jede mögliche Verbindungsart mit den Anschlußschienen verbindbar sein. Da die Spitzenstücke aufgrund ihrer Beweglichkeit jedoch einem erheblichen Verschleiß unterliegen, bietet es sich an, wenn diese mechanisch lösbar, d. h. ohne stoffschlüssige Verbindung und insbesondere ohne Schweißverbindung, mit den Anschlußschienen verbindbar, insbesondere verschraubbar sind. Besonders günstig in diesem Zusammenhang ist es, daß die Spitzenstücke endseitig jeweils einen entsprechend bearbeiteten schrägen oder S-förmigen Befestigungsbereich mit Schrauböffnungen aufweisen, um mit den in entsprechender Weise bearbeiteten Enden der Anschlußschienen verschraubt zu werden. Diese Art der Ausbildung des Befestigungsbereichs sorgt nicht nur für einen guten Übergang von den Spitzenstücken auf die Anschlußschienen, es läßt sich auch ein schneller Austausch von verschlissenen Spitzenstücken durch neue realisieren. The tip pieces can basically by any possible type of connection be connectable to the connecting rails. Because the lace pieces because of their However, mobility offers considerable wear and tear, it offers itself if this is mechanically detachable, d. H. without integral connection and in particular without a welded connection, can be connected to the connecting rails, are in particular screwable. Particularly favorable in this context it is that the tip pieces each have a corresponding end machined inclined or S-shaped attachment area with Have screw holes to be machined in a corresponding manner Ends of the connecting rails to be screwed. This kind of training the fastening area not only ensures a good transition from the tip pieces to the connecting rails, it can also be used Realize quick replacement of worn tip pieces with new ones.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, daß die Dehnungsfuge zwischen den beiden Spitzenstücken am vorderen Ende bzw. der vorderen Spitze der Herzstückspitze vorgesehen ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist es also so, daß die Dehnungsfuge, die zur Realisierung der relativen Bewegung der beiden Spitzenteile zueinander beim Stellen der Herzstückspitze erforderlich ist, ganz nach vorn an die Herzstückspitze verlegt wird. Hierdurch ergibt sich beim Überfahren des Rades nur noch eine, ohnehin nicht vermeidbare Unstetigkeitsstelle, nämlich direkt am vorderen Ende der Herzstückspitze, wo nun auch die Dehnungsfuge endet. Letztlich wird auf diese Weise ein harmonischer Radüberlauf erzielt.In this context, it is particularly advantageous that the expansion joint between the two tip pieces at the front end or the front Tip of the frog tip is provided. With this configuration it is So that the expansion joint that is used to realize the relative movement of the two tip parts to each other when placing the frog tip required is moved all the way to the front of the frog. This gives when driving over the wheel there is only one that is inevitable anyway Discontinuity, namely directly at the front end of the frog tip, where now the expansion joint ends. Ultimately, it becomes a more harmonious one Wheel overflow achieved.

In diesem Zusammenhang sollte die Dehnungsfuge als durchgehend geradlinige, durch das vordere Ende führende Fuge zwischen den Spitzenstücken ausgebildet sein. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung läßt sich durch entsprechende Fräsarbeiten ohne weiteres realisieren. Letztlich ergibt sich hierdurch auch, daß beide Spitzenstücke die gleiche Länge haben, was im Stand der Technik bei federnd beweglichen Spitzenstücken nicht der Fall ist.In this context, the expansion joint should be a straight, joint leading through the front end between the tip pieces be trained. Such a configuration can be achieved by appropriate Realize milling work easily. Ultimately, this also results in that both tip pieces have the same length, which is in the prior art is not the case with resiliently movable tip pieces.

Die Kopplung zwischen den beiden Spitzenstücken erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise über eine in vertikaler Richtung wirksame formschlüssige Verbindung, die gleichzeitig eine Bewegung der Spitzenstücke in horizontaler Richtung zuläßt, was beim Verstellen der Herzstückspitze erforderlich ist. Günstigerweise läßt sich die vorgenannte formschlüssige Verbindung durch eine Feder-Nut-Verbindung ausbilden, wobei am Endbereich des einen Spitzenstücks eine Nut vorgesehen ist, während am Endbereich des anderen Spitzenstücks eine dazu korrespondierende Feder vorgesehen ist. Die Nut und die Feder lassen sich durch abtragende Bearbeitung des vorderen Endbereichs der Spitzenstücke ohne weiteres herstellen.The coupling between the two tip pieces is advantageously carried out via a form-fitting connection effective in the vertical direction at the same time allows the tip pieces to move in the horizontal direction, what is required when adjusting the centerpiece tip. Conveniently leaves the aforementioned positive connection through a tongue and groove connection form, a groove at the end portion of a tip piece is provided, while at the end of the other tip piece one corresponding spring is provided. The tongue and groove can be by machining the front end area of the tip pieces easily manufacture.

In den einzelnen Figuren ist ein Herzstück 1 bzw. sind Bauteile dieses Herzstücks 1 dargestellt. Das Herzstück 1 ist Teil einer nicht näher dargestellten Weiche. Das Herzstück 1 weist eine Herzstückspitze 2 mit zwei federnd beweglichen Spitzenstücken 3, 4 auf. Die Herzstückspitze 2 ist vorliegend zwischen zwei Flügelschienen 5, 6 angeordnet. Die Flügelschienen 5, 6 sind über Rippen- oder Bodenplatten mit Untergrund verankert.In the individual figures there is a frog 1 or are components of this frog 1 shown. The centerpiece 1 is part of a not shown Soft. The centerpiece 1 has a centerpiece tip 2 with two resiliently movable Lace pieces 3, 4. The centerpiece tip 2 is between two wing rails 5, 6 arranged. The wing rails 5, 6 are over Rib or floor slabs anchored to the base.

Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsformen ist nun vorgesehen, daß die Spitzenstücke 3, 4 jeweils aus Zungenschienenprofilen, nämlich standardisierten Regel-Zungenschienenprofilen, insbesondere von Mangan-Zungenschienen hergestellt worden ist, und zwar durch abtragende Bearbeitung. Endseitig zumindest teilweise bearbeitete Zungenschienenprofile, aus denen letztlich die Spitzenstücke 3, 4 hergestellt werden, sind in den Fig. 7 bis 12 dargestellt.In the illustrated embodiments, it is now provided that the tip pieces 3, 4 each from tongue rail profiles, namely standardized Standard tongue rail profiles, especially of manganese tongue rails has been produced, by machining. At least at the end partially processed tongue rail profiles, from which ultimately the Tip pieces 3, 4 are produced are shown in FIGS. 7 to 12.

Aus Fig. 1 ergibt sich, daß die Anschlußschienen 7, 8 mit den Spitzenstücken 3, 4 fest verbunden sind. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist als Verbindung jeweils eine Schweißverbindung vorgesehen. Die Spitzenstücke 3, 4 weisen unmittelbar im Anschluß an die Anschlußschienen 7, 8 jeweils einen Schienenfuß mit äußeren Flanken 9, 10 auf. Nach einem kurzen Übergangsbereich sind die Spitzenstücke 3, 4 im wesentlichen über die gesamte Restlänge flankenlos. Lediglich im Bereich des Anschlusses des Stellantriebes kann abschnittsweise ein Flankenstück kurzer Länge vorgesehen sein, wie dies in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Aufgrund der flankenlosen Ausbildung ergeben sich die Federstellen der Spitzenstücke 3, 4 im Anschluß an den die Flanken 9, 10 aufweisenden Übergangsbereich zu den Anschlußschienen 7, 8.From Fig. 1 it follows that the connecting rails 7, 8 with the tip pieces 3, 4 are firmly connected. In the illustrated embodiment is as a connection one weld connection each is provided. The tip pieces 3, 4 have one immediately after the connection rails 7, 8 Rail foot with outer flanks 9, 10. After a short transition area are the tip pieces 3, 4 substantially over the entire remaining length flankenlos. Sections can only be made in the area of the connection of the actuator a flank piece of short length can be provided, as shown in Fig. 3 is shown. The spring points result from the flankless design the tip pieces 3, 4 following the flanks 9, 10 Transition area to the connecting rails 7, 8.

Bei der in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Flügelschienen 5, 6 an einem blockartigen Grundkörper 11 vorgesehen. Der Grundkörper 11 kann einteilig mit den Flügelschienen 5, 6 ausgebildet sein. Die Verwendung eines blockartigen Grundkörpers 11 hat den Vorteil, daß die Herzstückspitze 2 etwas dicker ausgeführt sein kann, da die Kopfbreite der Flügelscheinen 5, 6 bei dem Block bedarfsweise angepaßt werden kann. Bei Regel-Flügelschienen ist dies nicht möglich, da eine Mindestkopfbreite der Flügelschiene nicht unterschritten werden darf.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the wing rails are 5, 6 provided on a block-like base body 11. The basic body 11 can be formed in one piece with the wing rails 5, 6. The Use of a block-like base body 11 has the advantage that the Centerpiece tip 2 can be made somewhat thicker, because the head width of the Wing notes 5, 6 can be adapted if necessary in the block. at This is not possible with standard wing rails since the minimum head width is Wing rail must not be undercut.

Im in den Fg. 5 und 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ragen die Spitzenstücke in Gleisrichtung über die Flügelschienen 5, 6 hinaus. Der die Flanken 9, 10 aufweisende Bereich ist verlängert. Im übrigen ist es bei der in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform so, daß die Flanke 9 eine größere Länge als die Flanke 10 hat, so daß sich ganz bestimmte Federeigenschaften der Spitzenstücke 3, 4 einstellen lassen.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tip pieces protrude in the track direction beyond the wing rails 5, 6 also. The flanks 9, 10 area is extended. For the rest, it is in the 5 and 6 embodiment shown so that the edge 9 is a larger Has length than the flank 10, so that there are very specific spring properties let the tip pieces 3, 4 adjust.

In den Fig. 7 bis 10 sind teilbearbeitete Spitzenstücke 3, 4 dargestellt. Aus dieser Darstellung ergibt sich im übrigen auch das Zungen-Regelprofil. Der vordere Endbereich 12, 13 ist zumindest teilweise bearbeitet. Bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 11 und 12 ist das dargestellte Spitzenstück 4 endseitig mit einem S-förmigen Befestigungsbereich 14 versehen, der Schrauböffnungen 14a aufweist. Korrespondierend hierzu ist ein entsprechender Befestigungsbereich an der jeweiligen Anschlußschiene vorzusehen, um auf diese Weise eine mechanisch einfach lösbare Verbindung zwischen dem jeweiligen Spitzenstück und den Anschlußschienen zu erzielen.7 to 10 partially machined tip pieces 3, 4 are shown. Out this representation also results in the tongue control profile. The front end region 12, 13 is at least partially machined. In the embodiment 11 and 12, the illustrated tip piece 4 is the end with an S-shaped attachment area 14, the screw holes 14a. Corresponding to this is a corresponding fastening area to be provided on the respective connecting rail in order to provide a mechanically easily detachable connection between the respective tip piece and to achieve the connecting rails.

Bei der in den Fig. 7 bis 10 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der S-förmige Befestigungsbereich 14 nicht unbedingt vorgesehen. Die Spitzenstücke 3, 4 könnten auch mit den Anschlußschienen verschraubt werden, wie dies bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 der Fall ist. In jedem Falle ist es aber bei der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 7 bis 10 so, daß die längere Flanke 9 des Schienenfußes des Zungenprofils sich jeweils außen befindet. Dies kann aber bedarfsweise geändert werden. Hierauf wird im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 3 noch näher eingegangen.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the S-shaped Fastening area 14 is not necessarily provided. The tip pieces 3, 4 could also be screwed to the connecting rails, as is the case with the Embodiment according to FIG. 1 is the case. In any case, it is with the Embodiment according to FIGS. 7 to 10 so that the longer edge 9 of the Rail foot of the tongue profile is located on the outside. But this can be changed if necessary. This is followed in connection with FIG. 3 discussed in more detail.

Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsformen ist es im übrigen so, daß die zwischen den Spitzenstücken 3, 4 vorgesehene Dehnungsfuge 15 am vorderen Ende 16 bzw. der vorderen Spitze der Herzstückspitze 2 vorgesehen ist bzw. dort endet. Bei der Dehnungsfuge 15 handelt es sich um eine durchgehend geradlinige, durch das vordere Ende 16 führende Fuge zwischen den Spitzenstücken 3, 4. Die beiden Spitzenstücke 3, 4 haben im übrigen die gleiche Länge. Im in Fig. 5 dargestellten Zustand, bei dem das Spitzenstück 3 am Flügelschienenbereich 5 anliegt, steht die vordere Spitze bzw. das vordere Ende 16 des Spitzenstückes 3 geringfügig gegenüber dem vorderen Ende 16 des Spitzenstückes 4 über. In der anderen Stellung, wenn das Spitzenstück 4 an dem Flügelschienenabschnitt 6 anliegt, sind die Verhältnisse umgekehrt.In the illustrated embodiments, it is otherwise the case that the between the tip pieces 3, 4 provided expansion joint 15 on the front End 16 or the front tip of the frog tip 2 is provided or ends there. The expansion joint 15 is a continuously straight, through the leading end 16 leading joint between the tip pieces 3, 4. The two tip pieces 3, 4 are otherwise the same Length. In the state shown in Fig. 5, in which the tip piece 3 on the wing rail area 5 is present, the front tip or the front end 16 of the tip piece 3 slightly opposite the front end 16 of the Top piece 4 over. In the other position when the tip piece 4 is on the wing rail section 6, the situation is reversed.

Aufgrund der Anordnung der Dehnungsfuge 15 mittig zwischen den beiden Spitzenstücken 3, 4 ergibt sich lediglich eine einzige Unterbrechung der Fahrkante 17, nämlich zwischen der Stufe 18 an der jeweiligen Flügelschiene und dem vorderen Ende 16 der Herzstückspitze 2 bzw. der Spitzenstücke 3, 4. Diese Unterbrechung der Fahrkante 17 ist allerdings grundsätzlich bei jedem Übergang von den Flügelschienen auf die Herzstückspitze vorgesehen und unvermeidbar. Due to the arrangement of the expansion joint 15 in the middle between the two Tip pieces 3, 4 result in only a single interruption in the driving edge 17, namely between the stage 18 on the respective wing rail and the front end 16 of the frog tip 2 or the tip pieces 3, 4. This interruption of the driving edge 17 is, however, basically everyone Transition from the wing rails to the frog tip provided and unavoidable.

Zwischen den Spitzenstücken 3, 4 ist im übrigen eine in vertikaler Richtung wirksame formschlüssige Verbindung vorgesehen, die eine Bewegung der Spitzenstücke in horizontaler Richtung zuläßt, die beim Stellen der Herzstückspitze auftritt. Konstruktiv ist dies durch eine Feder-Nut-Verbindung 19 realisiert, wie dies in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. Im einzelnen weist hierzu der vordere Endbereich 12 des einen Spitzenstückes 3 eine Feder 20 in Art eines Vorsprungs auf, der in eine Nut 21 im vorderen Endbereich 13 des Spitzenstücks 4 eingreift. Sowohl die Feder 20 als auch die Nut 21 sind durch abtragende Bearbeitung des Zungenschienenprofils hergestellt worden.Incidentally, between the tip pieces 3, 4 is one in the vertical direction effective positive connection provided that a movement of the Permits pieces in the horizontal direction, that when placing the frog tip occurs. In terms of construction, this is realized by a tongue and groove connection 19, as shown in Fig. 4. In detail, the front one shows this End portion 12 of a tip piece 3, a spring 20 in the manner of a projection on, in a groove 21 in the front end portion 13 of the tip piece 4 engages. Both the tongue 20 and the groove 21 are by ablating Machining of the tongue rail profile has been made.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Situation dargestellt, in der der Stellantrieb 22 mit der Herzstückspitze 2 verbunden ist. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist es so, daß das Spitzenstück 4 in den Bereichen, in denen die Ankopplung des Stellantriebes 22 vorgesehen ist, einen Angriffsabschnitt 23 aufweist. Dieser Angriffsabschnitt 23 ist ein verbliebener Teil der Flanke 9. Auf den Angriffsabschnitt 23 aufgelegt ist in diesem Bereich das Spitzenstück 3. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, daß auf die Darstellung der Feder-Nut-Verbindung 19 verzichtet worden ist. Für das Spitzenstück 3 ist unterseitig eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 24 im Angriffsabschnitt 23 vorgesehen. Der Angriffsabschnitt 23, der eine geringe Erstreckung in Gleisrichtung hat, ist durch eine Öffnung im Schienensteg der Flügelschiene 5 hindurchgeführt und mit einem Verbindungsgestänge 25 mit dem Stellantrieb 22 verbunden.In Fig. 3, a situation is shown in which the actuator 22 with the frog tip 2 is connected. In the embodiment shown, that the tip piece 4 in the areas where the coupling of the actuator 22 is provided, has an attack section 23. This section of the attack 23 is a remaining part of flank 9. On the attack section 23 is placed on the tip piece 3 in this area noted that the representation of the tongue and groove connection 19 is omitted has been. For the tip piece 3 there is a corresponding recess on the underside 24 provided in the attack section 23. The attack section 23, the has a small extension in the direction of the track is through an opening in the Rail web of the wing rail 5 passed and with a connecting rod 25 connected to the actuator 22.

Im übrigen sind die beiden Flügelschienen in diesem Bereich auch durch eine Schraubverbindung 26 miteinander verbunden, wobei die Schraubverbindung derart ist, daß sich die beiden Spitzenstücke 3, 4 in horizontaler Richtung noch relativ zueinander bewegen können.Otherwise, the two wing rails in this area are also by a Screw connection 26 connected to each other, the screw connection is such that the two tip pieces 3, 4 are still in the horizontal direction can move relative to each other.
