Mit einer derart ausgebildeten Maschine ist eine erhebliche Beschleunigung der zu Arbeitsbeginn erforderlichen Maßnahmen, insbesondere der Aushebung eines sogenannten Kofferloches, erzielbar. Diese für das Instellungbringen der Räumkette notwendige Ausnehmung in der Schotterbettung kann nun, unter Vermeidung jeglicher manueller Arbeit, überaus rasch und völlig problemlos mit dem Saugrohr geschaffen werden, wobei der ausgeräumte Schotter nicht neben dem Gleis gelagert oder gesondert abtransportiert werden muß. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt in der ergonomisch günstigen Fernbedienungsmöglichkeit anhand der Antriebe, wodurch - insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 2 - die Gefährdung des Bedienungspersonals durch ein nicht gesperrtes Nachbargleis ausgeschlossen werden kann. Auch eine Nachrüstung von bereits im Einsatz befindlichen Schotterbett-Reinigungsmaschinen mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Saugrohr ist konstruktiv problemlos zu verwirklichen.With a machine designed in this way there is considerable acceleration the measures required at the start of work, in particular digging a so-called trunk hole, achievable. This for positioning the clearing chain necessary recess in the ballast bed now, avoiding any manual work, extremely quickly and completely can be easily created with the suction pipe, the cleared Ballast should not be stored next to the track or transported separately got to. Another advantage is the ergonomically favorable remote control option based on the drives, which - especially in connection with the training according to claim 2 - the risk of Operating personnel excluded due to an unlocked neighboring track can be. Also retrofitting existing ones Ballast bed cleaning machines with an inventive The construction of the intake manifold is straightforward.
Die Ausbildung nach Anspruch 3 ermöglicht eine besonders rationelle und
zeitsparende Abwicklung der Vorarbeiten zu Einsatzbeginn der Reinigunsmaschine.
Durch die Anordnung des Saugrohres direkt beim Querkettentrum
kann dieses gleich nach der Aushebung des Kofferloches unterhalb des Gleises
montiert werden, ohne daß dazu die Maschine erst neu positioniert werden
müßte. Eine zusätzliche, sich durch diese Anordnung ergebende Verwendungsmöglichkeit
wäre weiters das umweltfreundliche Absaugen des
beim Schotterräumen entstehenden Staubes anhand des Saugrohres.The training according to
Die vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen gemäß den Ansprüchen 4 und 5 erleichtern
nicht nur die Schaffung des besagten Kofferloches, sondern bieten
überdies die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes der Maschine in Gleisbereichen, in
denen die Räumkette auf Grund diverser Gleishindernisse nicht zur Schotterräumung
verwendbar ist, so wie etwa in Weichen. Ein weiteres Beispiel wären
Bahnsteigbereiche, wo mit dem Saugrohr problemlos der im engen
Raum zwischen Gleis und Bahnsteigkante befindliche Schotter entfernt werden
kann.The advantageous developments according to
Die Ansprüche 6 und 7 beschreiben bevorzugte Ausbildungen des Saugrohres,
wobei mit dem Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 8 und 9 mit einfachen
konstruktiven Mitteln eine Verdoppelung der Arbeitsleistung erzielt werden
kann.
Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 10 hat zur Folge, daß der angesaugte und
durch den Saugluftstrom gereinigte Schotter aus dem Schotterspeicher bedarfsweise
auf einfachste Art wieder ins Gleis rückführbar ist.The development according to
Die Variante gemäß Anspruch 11 ermöglicht es schließlich, den Schotterspeicher
fallweise in die Siebanlage zu entleeren, um dadurch den Schotter
einer vollständigeren Reinigung zuzuführen oder ihn aber auch über das vordere
Maschinenende - zusammen mit dem Abraum aus der Siebanlage - abzutransportieren.The variant according to
