Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschinenanordnung zum Aufnehmen, Speichern und Verteilen von Schotter eines Gleises mit einer z.B. durch rotierbare Bürsten gebildeten Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung, einer dieser zugeordneten, über ein Ende eines Maschinenrahmens vorragenden Schottertransporteinrichtung, einem an diese anschließenden, ein in Maschinen- bzw. Gleislängsrichtung verlaufendes Förderband aufweisenden Schotterspeicher sowie einem höhenverstellbar ausgebildeten Pflug.The invention relates to a machine arrangement for receiving, storing and distributing ballast of a track with e.g. ballast pick-up device formed by rotatable brushes, a ballast transport device assigned to it and projecting over one end of a machine frame, a ballast storage device connected to it and having a conveyor belt running in the machine or track longitudinal direction, and a plow which is adjustable in height.

Durch die EP 0 052 089 A1 ist eine Maschinenanordnung zum Aufnehmen, Speichern und Verteilen von Schotter eines Gleises mit einer durch rotierbare Bürsten gebildeten Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung bekannt. Diese befindet sich auf einem in Arbeitsrichtung ersten Maschinenrahmen zwischen einem vorkragend mit diesem verbundenen, höhenverstellbaren Schotterpflug und einer nachgeordneten Schottertransporteinrichtung. Diese setzt sich aus drei parallel zueinander verlaufenden, entgegengesetzt zur Arbeitsrichtung nach oben hin ansteigenden Förderbändern zusammen, die über das hintere Ende des Maschinenrahmens vorragen. Dem ersten Maschinenrahmen ist ein zweiter, als Schüttgutverladewagen ausgebildeter Maschinenrahmen nachgeordnet, der in seinem oberen Endbereich ein in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufendes Förderband mit einem in dessen Längsrichtung verschiebbar ausgebildeten Schotterabstreifer aufweist.EP 0 052 089 A1 discloses a machine arrangement for picking up, storing and distributing ballast on a track with a ballast pickup device formed by rotatable brushes. This is located on a first machine frame in the working direction between a cantilevered plow that is connected to it in a cantilever manner and a downstream ballast transport device. This is made up of three parallel conveyor belts, which rise in the opposite direction to the working direction and protrude beyond the rear end of the machine frame. The first machine frame is followed by a second machine frame designed as a bulk goods loading wagon, which has in its upper end region a conveyor belt running in the longitudinal direction of the wagon with a ballast scraper which is designed to be displaceable in its longitudinal direction.

Im Arbeitseinsatz wird mit dem im vorderen Endbereich der Maschinenanordnung vorgesehenen Schotterpflug der Schotter eingeebnet und über den gesamten Bettungsquerschnitt verteilt. Mit Hilfe der nachfolgenden Bürsten wird der auf den Schwellen bzw. zwischen den Schwellen zuviel vorhandene Schotter auf die nachfolgenden Förderbänder abgeworfen, die ihrerseits den Schotter auf das Förderband des Schotterspeichers weitertransportieren. Durch den in Maschinenlängsrichtung verschiebbaren Schotterabstreifer wird der Schotter an verschiedenen Stellen des Förderbandes zur vollständigen Verfüllung des Schotterspeichers abgeworfen. Mit einer derartigen bekannten Maschinenanordnung ist es jedoch nicht möglich, in Gleisabschnitten mit zu wenig Schotter bedarfsweise Schotter auf das Gleis abzuwerfen.During work, the ballast plow provided in the front end area of the machine arrangement is used to level the ballast and spread it over the entire cross-section of the bed. With the help of the subsequent brushes, the excess ballast on the sleepers or between the sleepers is thrown onto the subsequent conveyor belts, which in turn transport the ballast onto the conveyor belt of the ballast store. Due to the ballast scraper that can be moved in the machine's longitudinal direction, the ballast is thrown off at various points on the conveyor belt to completely fill the ballast storage. With such a known machine arrangement, however, it is not possible to drop ballast onto the track if necessary in track sections with too little ballast.

Durch die CH-PS 652 428 A5 ist auch eine auf Schienenfahrwerken abgestützte und zwischen diesen einen hohenverstellbaren Schotterpflug aufweisende Schotterplaniermaschine bekannt. Am bezüglich der Arbeitsrichtung hinteren Ende der Maschine ist eine durch eine rotierbare Bürste gebildete Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung vorgesehen, durch die überschüssiger bzw. auf den Schwellen liegender Schotter entweder unmittelbar vor der Maschine auf der Bettung verteilt bzw. zur späteren Wiederverwendung auf einen Transportwagen verladen wird.CH-PS 652 428 A5 is also a ballast leveling machine supported on rail bogies and with a high adjustable ballast plow between them known. At the rear end of the machine with respect to the working direction, a ballast pick-up device formed by a rotatable brush is provided, by which excess ballast or ballast lying on the sleepers is either distributed directly in front of the machine on the bedding or loaded onto a trolley for later reuse.

In der EP 0 426 004 A1 wird eine neuartige Maschine zum Aufnehmen und Verteilen des Bettungsschotters beschrieben, bei der zur Aufnahme und Speicherung des von einer Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung vom Gleis hochtransportierten Schotters ein spezieller Schotterspeicher vorgesehen ist. Dieser weist ein bodenseitig angeordnetes und in Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufendes Förderband auf, wobei in dessen Abwurfbereich Auslaßöffnungen zum bedarfsweisen Abwurf von Schotter vorgesehen sind. In Arbeitsrichtung unmittelbar hinter diesen Auslaßöffnungen ist unterhalb des Maschinenrahmens ein höhenverstellbarer Schotterpflug angeordnet, durch den vom Schotterspeicher auf das Gleis abgeworfener Schotter verteilbar ist. Diese Maschine eignet sich besonders zur Bearbeitung von Gleisabschnitten mit unterschiedlich eingeschottertem Gleis.EP 0 426 004 A1 describes a novel machine for picking up and distributing the ballast ballast, in which a special ballast store is provided for picking up and storing the ballast transported up from the track by a ballast pick-up device. This has a conveyor belt arranged at the bottom and running in the machine longitudinal direction, outlet openings being provided in its discharge area for the necessary discharge of ballast. In the working direction directly behind these outlet openings, a height-adjustable ballast plow is arranged below the machine frame, through which ballast thrown from the ballast store onto the track can be distributed. This machine is particularly suitable for machining track sections with different ballasted track.

Schließlich ist auch noch durch die US-PS 4 576 538 ein spezieller Schüttgutverladewagen bekannt, der im Bodenbereich eines Speicherbehälters ein in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufendes Förderband aufweist, das an einem Ende durch ein über das Wagenende vorragendes, nach oben geneigtes Übergabeförderband verlängert ist. Bei einem derartigen Schüttgutverladewagen sind zur Vergrößerung der Speicherkapazität beliebig viele Wagen zu einem gemeinsamen Zugverband kuppelbar.Finally, also known from US Pat. No. 4,576,538 is a special bulk goods loading wagon which has a conveyor belt running in the longitudinal direction of the wagon in the bottom region of a storage container, which is extended at one end by a transfer conveyor belt which projects above the end of the wagon and is inclined upwards. In such a bulk loading wagon, any number of wagons can be coupled to form a common train set in order to increase the storage capacity.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun in der Schaffung einer Maschinenanordnung der eingangs beschriebenen Art, mit der auch größere Mengen von überschüssigem Schotter speicherbar und bedarfsweise in Abschnitten mit zu wenig Schotter wieder in das Gleis einbringbar sind.The object of the present invention is to create a machine arrangement of the type described at the outset, with which even large amounts of excess ballast can be stored and, if necessary, can be brought back into the track in sections with too little ballast.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Maschinenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, daß der Pflug und der Schotterspeicher auf einem in Arbeitsrichtung der Maschinenanordnung ersten Maschinenrahmen angeordnet sind, wobei der Schotterspeicher vor dem Pflug und unterhalb des vorderen Endes des Förderbandes befindliche Auslaßöffnungen aufweist und das Förderband im Bodenbereich des Schotterspeichers gelegen ist, und daß die Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung mitsamt der dieser vorgeordneten Schottertransporteinrichtung auf einem zweiten, nachgeordneten Maschinenrahmen vorgesehen sind, wobei die beiden Maschinenrahmen auf eigenen, ihnen zugeordneten Schienenfahrwerken abgestützt sind und die Schottertransporteinrichtung - bei Aneinanderkupplung der Maschinenrahmen - zur endseitigen Überlappung des Förderbandes des Schotterspeichers ausgebildet ist. Eine derartig ausgebildete Maschinenanordnung hat den besonderen Vorteil, daß damit erstmals auch längere Gleisabschnitte mit stark unterschiedlicher Einschotterung bearbeitbar sind, wobei in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang parallel zur vorschriftsmäßigen Einschotterung durch den Pflug auch eine leistungsfähige Schotterumverteilung für eine durchgehend gleichmäßige Gleiseinschotterung erzielbar ist. Mit dieser besonders effizienten Schotterumverteilung kann in wirtschaftlicher Weise die kostspielige Anschaffung und der organisatorisch sowie arbeitstechnisch aufwendige Herantransport von Neuschotter zur Gänze eingespart werden. Die erwähnte Vergrößerung der Speicherkapazität ist dadurch erzielbar, daß zwischen den beiden Maschinenrahmen spezielle, in den Ansprüchen 5 und 8 als vorteilhafte Ausbildungen angeführte Schüttgutverladewagen in beliebiger Anzahl zwischenschaltbar sind, die unter uneingeschränkter Aufrechterhaltung des Transportweges zwischen Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung und den dem Schotter-Pflug zugeordneten Auslaßöffnungen eine Zwischenspeicherung des Schotters ermöglichen. Andererseits besteht infolge der großen Speicherkapazität aber auch die Möglichkeit, längere Gleisabschnitte mit zu geringer Einschotterung durch mitgeführten Schotter einzuschottern und gleichzeitig zu pflügen.This object is achieved according to the invention with a machine arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset in that the plow and the ballast store are arranged on a first machine frame in the working direction of the machine arrangement, the ballast store having outlet openings located in front of the plow and below the front end of the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt is located in the floor area of the ballast store, and that the ballast pick-up device together with the ballast transport device arranged upstream of it a second, subordinate machine frame is provided, the two machine frames being supported on their own rail carriages assigned to them, and the ballast transport device — when the machine frames are coupled to one another — is designed for the end overlap of the conveyor belt of the ballast store. A machine arrangement designed in this way has the particular advantage that for the first time it is also possible to work on longer track sections with widely differing ballast systems, whereby in a single operation, parallel to the prescribed ballast system by plow, efficient ballast redistribution can be achieved for a consistently uniform ballast system. With this particularly efficient redistribution of ballast, the costly purchase and the organizationally and technically complex transport of new ballast can be saved entirely. The above-mentioned increase in the storage capacity can be achieved in that any number of special bulk goods loading wagons can be interposed between the two machine frames, which can be interposed as advantageous in claims 5 and 8 Enable temporary storage of the ballast. On the other hand, due to the large storage capacity, there is also the possibility of graveling longer track sections with insufficient ballast by carried gravel and plowing at the same time.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 2 ermöglicht einerseits den Einbau einer speziellen Abwurfeinrichtung unterhalb der Auslaßöffnungen und andererseits eine Vergrößerung der Speicherkapazität unter Vermeidung einer Überschreitung des Lichtraumprofils.An advantageous embodiment of the invention according to claim 2 allows on the one hand the installation of a special ejection device below the outlet openings and on the other hand an increase in the storage capacity while avoiding exceeding the clearance profile.

Eine weitere Ausbildungsvariante der Maschinenanordnung nach Anspruch 3 ermöglicht auch in engen Gleisbögen einen ungehinderten Weitertransport des Schotters von der geneigten Schottertransporteinrichtung in den vorgeordneten Schotterspeicher.A further embodiment of the machine arrangement according to claim 3 enables the ballast to be transported unhindered from the inclined ballast transport device into the upstream ballast store even in narrow track bends.

Eine in einer weiteren Variante vorgesehene Einrichtung zum Abstützen und Blokkieren der Schottertransporteinrichtung gemäß Anspruch 4 gestattet einerseits im Arbeitseinsatz bei einer permanenten Abstützung eine ungehinderte Verschwenkbewegung, um auch in Gleisbögen eine ungehinderte Schotterübergabe zu ermöglichen. Andererseits besteht aber auch für Überstellfahrten die Möglichkeit, den Verschwenkbereich der Schottertransporteinrichtung zu blockieren, so daß ein Ausschwenken in einen außerhalb des Lichtraumprofils gelegenen Bereich zuverlässig ausgeschlossen wird.A device provided in a further variant for supporting and blocking the ballast transport device according to claim 4 allows, on the one hand, an unimpeded pivoting movement during work with permanent support, in order to enable unobstructed ballast transfer even on track curves. On the other hand, there is also the possibility of the pivoting area for transfer trips to block the ballast transport device so that swiveling out into an area outside the clearance profile is reliably excluded.

Die Erweiterung der Maschinenanordnung durch einen Schüttgutverladewagen gemäß den Ansprüchen 5 und 6 hat den Vorteil, daß bei einer sehr hohen Speicherkapazität auch in Gleisbögen ein völlig ungehinderter Weitertransport des gespeicherten Schotters gewährleistet ist. Darüberhinaus ist die Speicherkapazität durch eine entsprechende Anzahl von hintereinander angeordneten Schüttgutverladewagen sehr einfach ohne Umrüstarbeiten vergrößerbar.The extension of the machine arrangement by a bulk loading wagon according to claims 5 and 6 has the advantage that with a very high storage capacity even in track bends a completely unhindered further transport of the stored ballast is guaranteed. In addition, the storage capacity can be increased very easily without retrofitting work by means of a corresponding number of bulk goods loading wagons arranged one behind the other.

Entsprechend einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung sind die freien Enden des Übergabeförderbandes und der Schottertransporteinrichtung etwa gleich hoch angeordnet. Damit ist eine problemlose Erweiterung der Maschinenanordnung durch Einordnung von verschiedenen Schüttgutverladewagen bzw. auch eine Beschränkung auf die mit dem Schotterpflug und der Schotteraufnahmeeinrichtung verbundenen Fahrzeuge möglich.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the free ends of the transfer conveyor belt and the ballast transport device are arranged at approximately the same height. This enables a problem-free expansion of the machine arrangement by arranging different bulk goods loading wagons or a restriction to the vehicles connected to the ballast plow and the ballast pick-up device.

Schließlich ist in Anspruch 8 noch eine weitere Variante eines möglichen Schüttgutverladewagens angeführt, der sich ebenfalls unter Erzielung der eingangs angeführten Vorteile für die Einordnung in die erfindungsgemäße Maschinenanordnung eignet.Finally, a further variant of a possible bulk goods loading wagon is specified in claim 8, which is likewise suitable for being classified into the machine arrangement according to the invention while achieving the advantages mentioned at the beginning.

Den beiden jeweils oberhalb einer Schiene 12 angeordneten Auslaßöffnungen 11 ist jeweils ein kurzes, um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkbares Verteilförderband 13 zugeordnet. Dem vorderen Ende dieses Verteilförderbandes 13 ist jeweils eine durch einen Antrieb höhenverstellbare Schurre 14 zur Verteilung des abgeworfenen Schotters auf die beiden Stopfzonen zugeordnet. Unmittelbar hinter den Auslaßöffnungen 11 befinden sich an jeder Maschinenlängsseite ein durch Antriebe 15 höhen- und seitenverstellbarer Flankenpflug 16 sowie zwei in Querrichtung nebeneinander angeordnete, durch Antriebe höhen- und längsverstellbare Mittelpflüge 17. Der Schotterpflug 4 ist des weiteren mit einer eine zentrale Steuereinrichtung 18 aufweisenden Fahrkabine 19, einer zentralen Energiestation 20 sowie einem Fahrantrieb 21 ausgerüstet.The ballast plow 4 has a machine frame 7, which is supported at the end in each case on rail carriages 6 and is connected to a ballast store 8. This is designed as a storage container open at the top and, instead of a base, has a conveyor belt 10 which runs in the machine longitudinal direction and is connected to a drive 9. This is arranged inclined in such a way that the front end located above outlet openings 11 of the ballast accumulator 8 is higher than the rear end. A short distribution conveyor belt 13, which can be pivoted about a vertical axis, is assigned to each of the two outlet openings 11 arranged above a rail 12. The front end of this distribution conveyor belt 13 is assigned a chute 14, which is adjustable in height by a drive, for distributing the thrown-out ballast over the two tamping zones. Immediately behind the outlet openings 11 are on each machine longitudinal side a side plow 16 that is height and side adjustable by drives 15 and two cross plows arranged next to each other in the transverse direction, height and length adjustable middle plows 17. The ballast plow 4 is furthermore equipped with a central control device 18 driving cabin 19, a central energy station 20 and a travel drive 21.

Der dem Schotterpflug 4 nachgeordnete und mit diesem verbundene Schotteraufnehmer 5 setzt sich im wesentlichen aus einem endseitig auf Schienenfahrwerken 22 abgestützten Maschinenrahmen 23, einer höhenverstellbaren Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung 24 sowie einer dieser vorgeordneten Schottertransporteinrichtung 25 zusammen. Die durch einen Antrieb 26 höhenverstellbare Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung 24 besteht aus einer Kehrbürste 27, die mit Hilfe eines Antriebes um eine quer zur Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse rotierbar ist. Die Schottertransporteinrichtung 25 besteht aus einem durch einen Antrieb 28 in Bewegung versetzbaren Förderband 29, das durch einen Antrieb 30 um eine quer zur Maschinenlängsrichtung verlaufende Achse 31 verschwenkbar am Maschinenrahmen 23 gelagert ist. Durch einen weiteren Antrieb 32 ist das Förderband 29 zusätzlich quer zur Maschinenlängsrichtung verschiebbar. Zur Abstützung und Blockierung der Schottertransporteinrichtung 25 ist am vorderen Ende des Maschinenrahmens 23 eine Einrichtung 33 vorgesehen. Die Schottertransporteinrichtung 25 ragt derart über das vordere Ende des Maschinenrahmens 23 vor, daß bei Kupplung mit dem vorgeordneten Schotterpflug 4 eine Überlappung mit dem bodenseitigen Förderband 10 vorliegt. Der mit einer zentralen Energiestation 34 und einem Fahrantrieb 35 ausgestattete Schotteraufnehmer weist in seinem hinteren Endbereich eine Fahrkabine 36 mit einer zentralen Steuereinrichtung 37 auf.The ballast plow 5 arranged downstream of and connected to the ballast plow essentially consists of a machine frame 23 supported at the end on rail bogies 22, a height-adjustable ballast pickup device 24 and a ballast transport device 25 arranged upstream of this. The ballast pick-up device 24, which is height-adjustable by a drive 26, consists of a sweeping brush 27 which can be rotated with the aid of a drive about an axis running transversely to the machine longitudinal direction. The ballast transport device 25 consists of a conveyor belt 29 which can be set in motion by a drive 28 and which is mounted on the machine frame 23 by a drive 30 so as to be pivotable about an axis 31 running transversely to the machine longitudinal direction. The conveyor belt 29 can additionally be displaced transversely to the machine longitudinal direction by a further drive 32. A device 33 is provided at the front end of the machine frame 23 for supporting and blocking the ballast transport device 25. The ballast transport device 25 projects over the front end of the machine frame 23 before that when coupling with the upstream ballast plow 4 there is an overlap with the bottom conveyor belt 10. The ballast sensor, which is equipped with a central energy station 34 and a travel drive 35, has a driving cabin 36 with a central control device 37 in its rear end region.

Die in Fig.2 dargestellte Maschinenanordnung 1 ist durch einen zwischen Schotterpflug 4 und Schotteraufnehmer 5 befindlichen Schüttgutverladewagen 38 erweitert und bildet mit diesem einen gemeinsam verfahrbaren Zugverband. Der Schüttgut-Verladewagen weist in einem oben offen ausgebildeten Speicherbehälter 39 ein in Wagenlängsrichtung verlaufendes, anstelle einer Bodenfläche angeordnetes und mit einem Antrieb 40 verbundenes Förderband 41 auf. Diesem ist ein um eine vertikale Achse 42 verschwenkbares und über das vordere Ende eines Maschinenrahmens 43 vorragendes Übergabeförderband 44 vorgeordnet, das mit Hilfe eines Antriebes 45 in Bewegung versetzbar ist. Das Übergabeförderband 44 ist auf einer Abstütz- und Blockiereinrichtung 46 abstützbar. Die Energieversorgung für die verschiedenen Antriebe am Schüttgutverladewagen 38 erfolgt durch eine Energiestation 47.The machine arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 2 is expanded by a bulk material loading wagon 38 located between ballast plow 4 and ballast pickup 5 and forms a train assembly that can be moved together with it. The bulk goods loading wagon has in a storage container 39 which is open at the top and has a conveyor belt 41 which runs in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and is arranged instead of a floor surface and connected to a drive 40. This is preceded by a transfer conveyor belt 44 which can be pivoted about a vertical axis 42 and projects beyond the front end of a machine frame 43 and which can be set in motion by means of a drive 45. The transfer conveyor belt 44 can be supported on a support and blocking device 46. The energy supply for the various drives on the bulk goods loading wagon 38 is provided by an energy station 47.

Werden Gleisabschnitte bearbeitet, die nicht sehr viel überschüssigen Schotter aufweisen, so kann die in Fig.1 dargestellte Maschinenanordnung 1 eingesetzt werden. Dabei wird der überschüssige Schotter kontinuierlich durch die abgesenkte Kehrbürste 27 auf das Förderband 29 geschleudert und von diesem zum Abwurf in den vorgeordneten Schotterspeicher 8 hochtransportiert. Der auf das Förderband 10 abgeworfene Schotter wird, sobald der Schüttkegel annähernd die Höhe der Seitenwände des Schotterspeichers 8 erreicht, mit Hilfe des Antriebes 9 kurzzeitig in Bewegung versetzt, so daß der Schotter in Richtung zu den Auslaßöffnungen 11 transportiert wird. Sobald der nunmehr gebildete zweite Schüttkegel die erwähnte Höhe erreicht hat, erfolgt wieder ein geringfügiger Weitertransport durch das Förderband 10. Wird nun ein Gleisabschnitt mit zu wenig Schotter erreicht, erfolgt ein rascher Weitertransport des auf dem Förderband 10 befindlichen Schotters, bis dieser über die Auslaßöffnungen 11 auf die Verteilförderbänder 13 und von diesen über die Schurren 14 auf das Gleis 2 fällt. Die Verteilförderbänder 13 werden durch Antriebe 48 in Bewegung versetzt. Sobald die Beaufschlagung dieses Antriebes 48 gestoppt wird, ist das Verteilförderband 13 quasi als Verschluß der Auslaßöffnungen 11 wirksam. Der auf diese Weise auf das Gleis 2 abgeworfene Schotter wird von den unmittelbar nachfolgenden Flanken- und bzw. oder Mittelpflügen 16,17 bedarfsweise verteilt und planiert. Dabei kann die nachfolgende Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung 24 nach wie vor abgesenkt sein, um auf diese Weise auf den Schwellen befindlichen Schotter in die vorgeordneten Schwellenfächer abzustreifen bzw. auf das Förderband 29 abzuwerfen. Nach Erreichen eines neuerlichen Abschnittes mit überschüssigem Schotter werden die Verteilförderbänder 13 gestoppt und das Förderband 10 - wie oben beschrieben - zur Speicherung von Schotter schrittweise vorwärtsbewegt.If track sections are processed that do not have very much excess ballast, the machine arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be used. The excess ballast is continuously hurled through the lowered sweeping brush 27 onto the conveyor belt 29 and transported up by the latter to the upstream ballast store 8 for discharge. The ballast thrown onto the conveyor belt 10 is briefly set in motion with the aid of the drive 9 as soon as the cone of roughly reaches the height of the side walls of the ballast accumulator 8, so that the ballast is transported in the direction of the outlet openings 11. As soon as the second pouring cone that has now been formed has reached the aforementioned height, the conveyor belt 10 again slightly transports it further on the distribution conveyor belts 13 and from these via the chutes 14 falls onto the track 2. The distribution conveyor belts 13 are set in motion by drives 48. As soon as the actuation of this drive 48 is stopped, the distribution conveyor belt 13 is effective as a closure of the outlet openings 11. The ballast thrown onto the track 2 in this way is, if necessary, from the immediately following flank and / or central plows 16, 17 distributed and leveled. The subsequent ballast pick-up device 24 can still be lowered in order to scrap gravel located on the sleepers into the upstream sleeper compartments or to drop them onto the conveyor belt 29. After reaching a new section with excess ballast, the distribution conveyor belts 13 are stopped and the conveyor belt 10 - as described above - is gradually moved forward for storing ballast.

Für den Fall, daß größere Überschußmengen an Schotter zu erwarten sind, wird vor dem Arbeitseinsatz zwischen Schotterpflug 4 und Schotteraufnehmer 5 eine beliebige, der erforderlichen Speicherkapazität entsprechende Anzahl von Schüttgutverladewagen 38 angeordnet. Dabei fällt der durch die Schottertransporteinrichtung 25 des Schotteraufnehmers 5 hochtransportierte Schotter auf das bodenseitige Förderband 41 des Schüttgutverladewagens 38 und ist bedarfsweise im Speicherbehälter 39 speicherbar. Die Speicherung erfolgt dabei - wie in der bereits beim Schotterpflug 4 beschriebenen Weise - durch schrittweises Vorrücken des bodenseitigen Förderbandes 41. Durch das vorragende Übergabeförderband 44 besteht die Möglichkeit, den im Schüttgutverladewagen 38 gespeicherten Schotter bedarfweise auf den vorgeordneten Schüttgutverladewagen bzw. in den Schotterspeicher 8 des Schotterpfluges 4 zu transportieren. Durch diese in Fig.2 beispielhaft dargestellte erweiterte Maschinenanordnung 1 besteht somit die Möglichkeit, das Förderband bzw. Transportsystem zwischen der am hinteren Ende angeordneten Schotteraufnahmevorrichtung 24 und den am vorderen Ende befindlichen Auslaßöffnungen 11 des Schotterspeichers 8 unter Vergrößerung der Speicherkapazität beliebig zu verlängern. Werden auch längere Streckenabschnitte mit zu wenig Schotter bearbeitet, ist der gespeicherte Schotter bedarfsweise aus den mitgeführten Schüttgutverladewagen 38 über das Förderband 10 des Schotterpfluges 4 den Auslaßöffnungen 11 zuführbar. Die somit geleerten Speicherbehälter 39 sind im Rahmen der nachfolgenden Bearbeitung von Gleisabschnitten mit überschüssigem Schotter wieder auffüllbar. Durch eine vergrößerte Speicherkapazität besteht nunmehr die Möglichkeit, auch längere Abschnitte mit stark unterschiedlicher Einschotterung des Gleises 2 zu bearbeiten, wobei immer entsprechende Speicherkapazität bzw. gespeicherte Schottermengen zur Verfügung stehen.In the event that larger excess quantities of ballast are to be expected, any number of bulk material loading wagons 38 corresponding to the required storage capacity is arranged between the ballast plow 4 and the ballast pickup 5. The ballast transported upward by the ballast transport device 25 of the ballast pickup 5 falls onto the bottom conveyor belt 41 of the bulk material loading wagon 38 and can be stored in the storage container 39 as required. The storage takes place - as in the manner already described for ballast plow 4 - by gradually advancing the conveyor belt 41 at the bottom. The projecting transfer belt 44 makes it possible to store the ballast stored in the bulk goods loading car 38 on the upstream bulk goods loading car or in the ballast storage 8 des Transport gravel plow 4. This extended machine arrangement 1, shown by way of example in FIG. 2, thus makes it possible to extend the conveyor belt or transport system between the ballast pickup device 24 arranged at the rear end and the outlet openings 11 of the ballast accumulator 8 located at the front end, while increasing the storage capacity. If longer sections of track are processed with insufficient ballast, the stored ballast can be fed to the outlet openings 11 from the bulk goods loading wagons 38 carried along via the conveyor belt 10 of the ballast plow 4. The thus emptied storage containers 39 can be refilled with excess ballast in the course of the subsequent processing of track sections. Due to an increased storage capacity, it is now possible to process even longer sections with widely differing ballasting of track 2, with corresponding storage capacity or stored amounts of ballast always being available.

In Fig.3 ist ein weiteres Beispiel einer erweiterten Maschinenanordnung 1 mit einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel eines Schüttgutverladewagens 49 dargestellt. Dieser weist ein sich vom hinteren Wagenende bis über das vordere Wagenende hinaus erstreckendes, in Arbeitsrichtung nach oben hin ansteigendes Bodenförderband 50 mit einem Antrieb 51 auf. Das vordere Ende des Bodenförderbandes 50 ist derart weit über einen Maschinenrahmen 52 vorragend ausgebildet, daß mit dem vorgeordneten Förderband 10 des Schotterspeichers 8 eine zumindest geringfügige Überlappung vorliegt. Auch bei einem derartigen Schüttgutverladewagen 49 ist der durch den Schotteraufnehmer 5 hochtransportierte Schotter bedarfsweise speicherbar und bzw. oder zum vorgeordneten Schotterpflug 4 durchtransportierbar.FIG. 3 shows a further example of an expanded machine arrangement 1 with another exemplary embodiment of a bulk goods loading wagon 49. This points from the rear end of the car to beyond the front end of the car Floor conveyor belt 50, which rises upwards in the working direction and has a drive 51. The front end of the floor conveyor belt 50 is protruding so far beyond a machine frame 52 that there is at least a slight overlap with the upstream conveyor belt 10 of the ballast store 8. Even with such a bulk loading wagon 49, the ballast transported upward by the ballast pickup 5 can be stored as needed and / or can be transported through to the upstream ballast plow 4.
