Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur horizontalen Mittenrückstellung für eine mittels eines Kupplungsschafts schwenkbar an einem Schienenfahrzeug angebrachte Mittelpufferkupplung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for horizontal center reset for one pivotally attached to a rail vehicle by means of a coupling shaft Middle buffer coupling according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Vorrichtungen zur Mittenrückstellung sind beispielsweise aus der DE 18 10 593 B2, der DE 24 19 184 A1, der DE 28 22 104 A1 oder der DE 24 45 460 A1 bekannt.Such devices for center reset are for example from DE 18 10 593 B2, DE 24 19 184 A1, DE 28 22 104 A1 or DE 24 45 460 A1 known.

Die DE 18 593 B2 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zur horizontalen Mittenrückstellung für eine mittels eines Kupplungsschafts schwenkbar an einem Schienenfahrzeug angebrachte Mittelpufferkupplung mit einer die Schwenkbewegung des Kupplungsschafts um seine vertikale Schwenkachse mitmachende Führung. Symmetrisch zur Längsachse des Kupplungsschafts sind an Führungen schräge Druckflächen angeordnet. Federnde Druckeinrichtungen, die sich am Gehäuse für den Kupplungsschaft abstützen und die die horizontale Mittenrückstellung bewirken, weisen jeweils eine Rückstellfeder, ein von der Rückstellfeder beaufschlagtes mit einer der Druckflächen zusammenwirkendes, eine Rolle tragendes Druckübertragungsglied und ein die Bewegung des Druckübertragungsgliedes begrenzendes Anschlagglied auf, wobei jeder Druckfläche eine Druckeinrichtung zugeordnet ist.DE 18 593 B2 shows a device for horizontal center reset for one pivotally attached to a rail vehicle by means of a coupling shaft Middle buffer coupling with a swiveling movement of the coupling shaft leading along its vertical pivot axis. symmetrical oblique pressure surfaces on guides are to the longitudinal axis of the coupling shaft arranged. Spring pressure devices located on the housing for the clutch shaft support and which cause the horizontal center reset, point one return spring each, one loaded by the return spring of the pressure surfaces interacting, carrying a pressure transmission member and a movement limiting the pressure transmission member Stop member, with each printing surface assigned a printing device is.

Aus der DE 24 19 184 A1 ist eine weitere Vorrichtung zur horizontalen Mittenrückstellung einer Mittelpufferkupplung für Schienenfahrzeuge bekannt, bei der symmetrisch beiderseits der Kupplungsachse je eine Druckfeder angeordnet ist, die jeweils an einem in einem Gehäuse geführtes Gleitstück anliegt. Die Gleitstücke sind jeweils über eine zugehörige Stützrolle mit vertikaler Achse durch die Kraft der vorgespannten Druckfedern gegen eine die horizontale Schwenkbewegung des Kupplungsschaftes um die vertikale Schwenkachse der Mittelpufferkupplung mitmachende Führung angedrückt. Die Stützrollen bilden symmetrisch beiderseits der Kupplungsachse je ein in der Führung gelagertes Stützrollenpaar, dessen beide Stützrollen jeweils unterschiedliche Abstände von der Kuppelachse aufweisen, wobei die Achsen der Stützrollen auf einem zur vertikalen Schwenkachse der Mittelpufferkupplung konzentrischen Kreis liegen. In der Mittenstellung der Mittelpufferkupplung liegen die Stützrollen jedes Stützrollenpaares jeweils an einer Gleitfläche des in Draufsicht etwa dreieckförmigen Gleitstückes an, wobei an jedem Gleitstück ein Führungsschaft angeordnet ist, der das Gehäuse durchdringt und in diesem geführt ist. Im normalen Betrieb, d.h. auch beim Durchfahren von Kurven oder Weichen ist die Mittenstellvorrichtung ständig wirksam, so dass sich an den Gleitflächen der Gleitstücke, die durch die Druckfedern gegen die Stützrollen gedrückt werden, durch die Schwenkbewegung der Mittelpufferkupplung ein relativ großer Verschleiß ergibt. Ein Kuppeln in einer Kurve ist nur mit Schwierigkeiten oder gar nicht möglich, da hier die Rückstellkräfte der Druckfedern dem manuell bewirkten Ausschwenken der zu kuppelnden Mittelpufferkupplungen entgegenwirken.DE 24 19 184 A1 describes a further device for horizontal center resetting a central buffer coupling for rail vehicles known in the a compression spring is arranged symmetrically on both sides of the coupling axis, which abuts a slide in a housing. The sliders are each via an associated support roller with a vertical axis through the Force of the preloaded compression springs against the horizontal swivel movement the coupling shaft around the vertical pivot axis of the central buffer coupling participating leadership pressed. The support rollers form symmetrical one pair of support rollers mounted in the guide on each side of the coupling axis, whose two support rollers each have different distances from the dome axis have, the axes of the support rollers on a to the vertical pivot axis the central buffer coupling are concentric circle. In the middle position the support rollers of each pair of support rollers are located in the middle buffer coupling on a sliding surface of the approximately triangular slider in plan view on, a guide shaft is arranged on each slide, which the housing penetrates and is guided in this. In normal operation, i.e. also The center setting device is always on when negotiating curves or switches effective, so that on the sliding surfaces of the sliders through the Compression springs are pressed against the support rollers by the swivel movement the middle buffer clutch results in a relatively large wear. A dome in a curve is difficult or not possible at all, because here the Restoring forces of the compression springs to the manually caused pivoting of the counteracting coupling middle buffer couplings.

Durch die DE 28 22 104 A1 ist allerdings eine Einrichtung bekannt geworden, die die Nachteile vorgenannter Vorrichtung dadurch löst, dass die Mittenrückstellung abschaltbar ausgebildet ist und, wenn eine Mittenrückstellung nicht erforderlich oder nicht erwünscht ist, ausgeschaltet wird. Dazu ist an den Führungsschäften der Gleitstücke jeweils ein doppelarmiger Schwenkhebel angelenkt, dessen einer Hebelarm direkt oder indirekt mit einem Hubzylinder verbunden ist und dessen anderer Hebelarm sich gegen das Gehäuse abstützt, wobei die Gleitstücke durch Verschwenken der Schwenkhebel mittels angesteuertem oder fernbetägigbarem Hubzylinder gegen die Kraft der Druckfedern in eine Lage bringbar sind, in der die Stützrollen bei einer horizontalen Schwenkbewegung des Kupplungsschaftes keine Berührung mit den Gleitstücken haben und der Kupplungsschaft damit unbelastet von der Druckfeder frei verschwenkbar ist.From DE 28 22 104 A1, however, a device has become known which solves the disadvantages of the above device in that the center reset is designed to be switched off and if a center reset is not required or is not wanted, is switched off. This is at the top management the sliders are each articulated with a double-armed swivel lever, whose one lever arm is directly or indirectly connected to a lifting cylinder is and the other lever arm is supported against the housing, wherein the sliders by pivoting the pivot lever by means of controlled or remote-controlled lifting cylinder against the force of the compression springs in one Position can be brought in which the support rollers with a horizontal pivoting movement the coupling shaft have no contact with the sliders and the coupling shaft can thus be freely pivoted without being loaded by the compression spring.

Aus der DE 24 45 460 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur steuerbaren Mittenrückstellung von Mittelpufferkupplungen bekannt, wobei sich ein mit der Kuppelstange wirkverbundener Nocken zwischen zwei Anschläge erstreckt, welche in der horizontalen Bahn des Nockens von pneumatisch, hydraulisch oder elektrisch wirkenden Betätigungsmitteln verschiebbar angeordnet sind, wobei in der einen Endstellung der Anschläge der volle horizontale Seitenausschlag der Kuppelstange zur Verfügung steht, wohingegen in der anderen Endstellung der Nocken zwischen den Anschlägen eingeklemmt und die Kuppelstange damit in der Mittenstellung fixiert ist. Durch diese Einrichtung wird erreicht, dass die Kuppelstange beim Fahren fest und weitgehend schwingungsfrei in Mittellage stehen bleibt, aber andererseits diese Blockierung der Mittenlage nicht durch das Aufbringen zu großer Auslenkkräfte im normalen Betrieb erkauft wird.DE 24 45 460 A1 describes a device for controllable center resetting known from central buffer couplings, one with the coupling rod operatively connected cam extends between two stops, which in the horizontal path of the cam by pneumatic, hydraulic or electric acting actuating means are slidably disposed, in one End position of the stops the full horizontal side deflection of the coupling rod is available, whereas in the other end position the cam clamped between the stops and thus the coupling rod in the Center position is fixed. This device ensures that the coupling rod be firm and largely vibration-free in the middle position when driving remains, but on the other hand this blocking of the central position is not caused by the application too large deflection forces is bought in normal operation.

Aus der DE 43 28 811 C1 ist eine Mittelpufferkupplung mit horizontal verschwenbarem, vorderem Kupplungsschaft bekannt, der den Kupplungskopf trägt und der zusammen mit diesem bei Nichtgebrauch nach Lösen einer Feststelleinrichtung manuell hinter die Stirnseite des Schienenfahrzeuges verschwenkbar und arretierbar ist.DE 43 28 811 C1 discloses a central buffer coupling with a horizontally pivotable known front clutch shaft that carries the coupling head and together with this when not in use after loosening a locking device can be pivoted manually behind the front of the rail vehicle and can be locked.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 195 26 504 C1 ist eine Mittelpufferkupplung für Schienenfahrzeuge bekannt, die einen fahrzeugseitig angelenkten und abgestützten hinteren Gelenkarm sowie einen daran über ein Knickgelenk mit vertikalem Gelenkbolzen angelenkten vorderen Gelenkarm aufweist, der den Kupplungskopf trägt. Ein mit den Gelenkarmen verbundenes Verriegelungsteil ist als drehbar gelagerter Verriegelungsbolzen ausgebildet, der getrieblich mit einem am hinteren Gelenkarm abgestützten Antrieb verbunden ist. Der Antrieb weist ein zwischen Anschlägen frei bewegliches Antriebselement zum Verschwenken des vorderen Gelenkarms auf. Somit ist der vordere Gelenkarm mit dem Kupplungskopf motorisch ein- und auschwenkbar und zur Reduzierung des Gefährdungspotenzials bei Nichtbenutzung hinter die stirnseitigen Fahrzeugbegrenzung bringbar.Furthermore, DE 195 26 504 C1 discloses a central buffer coupling for rail vehicles known, which is articulated and supported on the vehicle side rear articulated arm and one attached to it via an articulated joint with a vertical joint pin has articulated front articulated arm that the coupling head wearing. A locking part connected to the articulated arms is rotatable stored locking bolt, which is geared to the rear Articulated arm-supported drive is connected. The drive has a between Stops freely movable drive element for pivoting the front Articulated arm. Thus the front articulated arm with the coupling head can be swiveled in and out by motor and to reduce the hazard potential when not in use behind the front vehicle limit brought.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur horizontalen Mittenrückstellung der eingangs genannten Art derart zu verbessern, dass ein Kuppeln im Bogen erleichtert bzw. erst ermöglicht wird.The invention has for its object a device for horizontal To improve the central provision of the type mentioned in such a way that a Doming in the arch is facilitated or made possible.

Nach der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung zur horizontalen Mittenrückstellung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a device for horizontal Center provision with the features of claim 1 solved. Advantageous configurations of the subject matter of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 wird der Stand der Technik insbesondere dadurch verbessert, dass es nunmehr möglich ist ein automatisiertes Kuppeln auch in engen Bögen zu ermöglichen. Bekannte Vorrichtungen sind zwar in der Lage automatisiert bzw. fernbetätigbar eine Mittenrückstellung oder eine Fixierung der Kuppelstange in Mittenlage oder auch ein Abschaltung und damit ein entlastetes, manuelles Verschwenken des Kupplungsschafts zu ermöglichen, was allerdings weiterhin den Einsatz von Personal für die hochgradig gefahrengeneigte Arbeiten im Kupplungsbereich erfordert. Ein automatisiertes bzw. fernbetägigbares, bedarfsgerechtes, genaues Positionieren der Kuppelstange und damit des Kupplungskopfes in jede Winkellage des vorgesehenen horizontalen Schwenkbereichs in Bögen, insbesondere in engen Bögen, ist mit den vorbekannten Mittenrückstellvorrichtungen allerdings nicht möglich und auch nicht vorgesehen. Ein frei wählbares Positionieren des Kupplungsschafts über die Druckelemente der Mittenrückstellvorrichtung ist bei den vorbekannten Vorrichtungen ebenfalls nicht vorgesehen. Due to the characterizing features of claim 1, the state of the Technology in particular improved in that it is now possible to use an automated system To enable domes even in tight arches. Known devices are able to be automatically or remotely operated, a center reset or a fixation of the coupling rod in the middle position or a shutdown and thus a relieved, manual pivoting of the clutch shaft to enable, however, the continued use of personnel for the highly hazardous work in the coupling area required. An automated one or remote-controlled, needs-based, precise positioning the coupling rod and thus the coupling head in every angular position of the intended horizontal swivel range in arches, especially in narrow Arches, however, is not with the known center reset devices possible and not provided. Freely selectable positioning of the clutch shaft about the pressure elements of the center reset device previously known devices are also not provided.
