Description

System for loading high bunkers In order to empty the contents of railway and similar wagons into high bunkers, a vertical elevator has usually been used so far, with which self-propelled wagons could be lifted onto a lane above the bunkers. They were set down again by means of an inclined path. Because of the considerable space requirement of such a helical ramp has already depending provided a vertical elevator at the front and at the rear end of the roadway lying over a series of calcination furnaces in steel plants.

The invention now relates to a particularly advantageous embodiment a similar system that makes it possible to drive wagons without being self-propelled in a simple manner Way to empty directly from above into the bunker. The arriving car will with the new system not emptied into a self-propelled wagon as was previously the case, but raised by a vertical elevator and onto a track hut above the bunkers put on. Here it is carried on by an undercarriage. Above the bunkers Then the emptying takes place, immediately with self-unloaders and with normal ones Freight wagons by tipping, for which purpose a special device is provided on the undercarriage can be. Then the car is moved to a second vertical elevator and lowered there so that you can work in continuous operation. To the discharge capacity To increase, the track on the bunker is expedient as a closed line formed in the sense of a turnout, so that on one side of the track the traffic of the with the carriage occupied, on the other hand the return of the empty shuttle car to the elevator takes place. For larger systems, a Multiplication by arranging several track systems with several elevators on each one Bunker side can be achieved.

Using multi-trolleys for loading containers or trolleys is something else Context has been proposed. In this case, the undercarriage is used for moving of the car with its own drive on an elevated railway. With a special one Coupling, the carriage drive can also be transferred to the undercarriage. At more suitable Then the wagon sits down on a loading bridge that can be moved across the elevated railway, in order to # continue driving on this with its own drive. The problem of self-propelled cars Unloading those who run on tracks to the ground in high bunkers is not possible touched.

With the new system, on the other hand, you are able to empty normal railway wagons, large-capacity freight wagons or other conveying wagons without self-propulsion into bunkers in an economical way, sometimes with the smallest space requirement. In the drawings, in Fig. I in elevation, in Fig.:2 in plan, an embodiment of the invention with sliding carriages is shown, while Fig. 3 in plan and Fig. 4 in side view show a system specially designed for the displacement by means of locomotives.

In the arrangement according to FIGS. I and 2, the elevators ir and 12 with Aden elevator platforms 13 and 14 are arranged to the left and right of the bunker arrangement io. On top of the hopper is closed, the 'e loop track 15, 16 on which the transfer carriage 17, running 18th From the approach track ig the wagons 2o, z. B. Large capacity self-unloader without its own drive, individually pushed onto the elevator platform 14, lifted to bunker height or the platform height of the shuttle car 17 in order to be able to be pushed over it; the shuttle car 17 moves the car 2o on the track 15 over the bunker io and, after emptying, sets it down on the corresponding upwardly curved platform 13 in the lowering elevator ii. The car 2o is now set down at the height of the railroad track and transferred to the departure track. Meanwhile, the shuttle car 17 drives back to the elevator via the track 16 in order to pick up a new self-unloader. The other transfer carriage 18 operates in the same manner except that its operation is shifted to the displacement of the carriage 1 corresponding to 7 so that they cross each other in an arrangement of only two transfer carriages in each case in the center of the bunker. In the case of an arrangement of several sliding carriages, this regular crossing takes place at a different point, so continuous unloading operation without mutual hindrance is made possible. So that even normal wagons can be emptied into the bunker io with the device, the transfer wagons can also be designed in the sense of a tipper.

In the system shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the wagons are moved: 2o with the help of shifting locomotives 22. Here, too, the elevators ii and 12 are to the right and left of the bunkers, while the track loops 15, 16 are again laid above the bunker system is. The locomotive 2? Always remains at the height of the bunker during the unloading of all the cars and pulls the cars 2o lifted by the elevator 12 down from its platform in order to move them over the bunkers 10 for the purpose of unloading. On the other hand, the locomotive 22 first drives with the car 2o through the elevator ii to remain on the extension 37 of the tracks 15, 16 in the bunker height, whereupon the car 2, o can be lowered in the elevator ii after uncoupling.

In order to enable the return of the locomotive 22 without the elevator ii having to come up again, the elevator i i is designed in the sense of the known luggage elevators on the platforms by moving down the platform 13 over the bracket guide 2,3 the Close flaps 39 that cover the elevator shaft so that the locomotive is free to return through the elevator. Instead of this device, a bypass track can of course also be arranged around the elevator for the return journey of the locomotive. Furthermore, when the unloading is idle, the locomotive: 2: 2 can be lowered itself and used for other purposes for moving the vehicle or the like.
