Abstract

Methods and devices for the horizontal and vertical displacement of stationary structural facilities, in particular platforms, prefabricated systems and kits.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for the horizontal and vertical displacement of stationary structural facilities, e.g. for boarding and alighting, loading and unloading along traffic lines, in particular platforms and corresponding systems for and with structural facilities, in particular platform systems. State of the art:

[0002] In conventional construction, structural facilities along traffic routes, e.g. for boarding and alighting, loading and unloading of vehicles, are unchangeable in their horizontal and vertical position because they are intended to remain unchanged for many generations. However, such structures no longer meet the requirements of modern transport, which require adaptability to new technical developments and changes in use. As a result of changes to the traffic route or changes in the means of transport, e.g. change of vehicle type due to a change of operator or change in type of use, a horizontal gap arises in conventional construction between the means of transport and the structural facility, which must be overcome by the passenger or user of the facility. From a safety and comfort perspective, it is not tolerable to accept deviations without correction.This problem affects both existing transport lines with existing boarding facilities that need to be upgraded and the construction of new boarding facilities.

[0003] Previous approaches to height adjustability, e.g., for prefabricated platforms, describe spacers / foundation slabs that are inserted between the foundation and the platform. The platform must first be lifted, for example, with a crane (DE 20 2021 105 629 U1), which results in a track closure. Alternatively, an approach is described in which the platform is raised in sections at small intervals of 5-10 m, as well as at the front and rear separately (DE 198 54 246 A1). While this can be achieved without a track closure, it is time-consuming. In both of these approaches, the focus is solely on height adjustability. Other approaches involve raising the platform by placing it on top or filling it with foam (DE 94 13 756 U1, DE 20 2013 100 857 U1, JP-H-07 76805 A, JP-H-07145608 A). In these cases, the platform slab must subsequently be reconstructed.

[0004] Another approach describes a process in which a hydraulic press is attached from the top of the structure, which lifts the structure downwards through a recess (DE 102 53 311 A1). There are also hydraulic systems for lifting and moving heavy loads, for example, the HSK Series, Skidding Systems from Enerpac. Other systems for lifting and moving loads are known, for example, from CN 211201248 U or CN 216276998 U. Other previous approaches to lateral (horizontal) displacement relate to the displacement of the platform edge via a permanently installed displacement mechanism (JP 2001 341636 A). Another approach specifies the lateral displacement of a platform (WO 98 / 15691 A1) over 5-20% of the width, but the underlying method for horizontal displacement is not further described.Another document describes the lateral displacement of lightweight railway platforms (made of glass fiber reinforced plastics and steel profiles) using spindles (DE 10 2010 019 891 A1). Furthermore, ES 2 025 944 A6 and WO 03 / 100174 A1 can be cited as prior art.

[0005] Given the current state of the art, further improvements are desirable. Task:

[0006] The object of the present invention was therefore to provide a flexible, quickly installed and, above all, precisely positioned system of structural facilities, in particular platform systems, which no longer has the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0007] A further object of the present invention was to provide methods with which structural facilities, in particular railway platforms, can be installed and positioned quickly and precisely, particularly with millimeter accuracy. Further objects will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following description and claims. Solution:

[0008] These and other objects which will become apparent to the person skilled in the art upon consideration of the present invention are solved by the independent claims.

[0009] Advantageous and preferred embodiments emerge from the subclaims and the following description. Description of the invention:

[0010] In the context of the present invention, the wording "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the elements mentioned in the respective list.

[0011] In the context of the present invention, the term "functional body" refers to a component that fulfills the actual function and purpose of the structure, e.g., enabling a vehicle to be comfortably boarded / loaded. The functional body thus serves the intended function, for example, the actual platform with its surface and edge. In particular, the term is also to be understood as described below. This meaning is familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0012] In the context of the present invention, the term "foundation body" refers to a component that enables the structural and static formation of the transition between the functional body and the soil for transferring loads from the functional body to the soil. The foundation body thus essentially assumes the function of a foundation. In particular, the term is also to be understood as described below. This meaning is familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0013] In the context of the present invention, the term "receptacle" refers to a device that is suitable for receiving or engaging another device. Receptacles within the meaning of the present invention can therefore simply be holes or, preferably, female threads for receiving male threaded counterparts.

[0014] In the context of the present invention, the term "connection adapter" refers to a device that is suitable for being inserted into another device or a receptacle, or for engaging therein. In particular, a connection adapter within the meaning of the present invention is a device of the positioning device that is intended to be inserted into a receptacle of a functional body, or for engaging therein, in order to establish a connection between the positioning device and the functional body.

[0015] A first object of the present invention is a prefabricated platform system comprising as individual and independent components: i) at least one functional body, which in preferred embodiments is a platform part, comprising at least one receptacle configured to receive a connection adapter of a positioning device; ii) at least one foundation body; iii) at least one positioning device configured for horizontal and / or vertical displacement of the functional body relative to the respective foundation body; iv) optionally spacers configured to be inserted between the foundation body and the functional body.

[0016] The functional bodies and foundation bodies, as well as any spacers, have connecting devices for connecting to the positioning devices. Optionally, the functional bodies and foundation bodies, as well as any spacers, can also have connecting devices configured to enable the functional bodies, foundation bodies, or spacers to be connected to one another.

[0017] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the positioning device is configured such that the displacement can be carried out with millimeter accuracy at least in the horizontal direction, in particular both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.

[0018] In the context of the present invention, the positioning device comprises: at least one mechanism for vertical displacement; at least one horizontal displacement device in or on which the lower end of the mechanism for vertical displacement is received; optionally at least one support piece configured to receive the device for horizontal displacement or to be arranged between the device for horizontal displacement and the respective foundation body; optionally at least one anchoring device, each configured to enable anchoring to the respective foundation body; at least one mechanism for horizontal displacement, configured to be connected to or engaged with the device for horizontal displacement such that actuation of the mechanism for horizontal displacement causes horizontal movement of the device for horizontal displacement;at least one connection adapter, each configured to be connected to a receptacle of the functional body. ;

[0019] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism for vertical displacement is designed as a hydraulic press or threaded jack, in particular as a hydraulic press.

[0020] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal displacement device is designed as a carriage. In the simplest case, this can be a metal plate that can be moved across the floor or work surface. However, it is also possible, and generally preferred, to design it as a type of tray, optionally with, in particular, activatable, displacement aids in the form of sliding points, rollers, or the like, which reduce friction with the ground. If these are activatable, for example, retractable rollers, they are only temporarily.

[0021] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the anchoring devices are designed as auxiliary angles. It is also preferred within the scope of the present invention if the anchoring to the foundation body is achieved via snap-in connections, screw connections, or clamp connections, in particular via screw connections.

[0022] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the mechanism for horizontal displacement is a threaded spindle. In this case, rotation of the threaded spindle about its axis of rotation causes a horizontal movement of the horizontal displacement device. The extent of the horizontal movement and the stiffness of the threaded spindle depend on its dimensions and gear ratio. It is preferred if the spindle is designed so that it can be rotated by one person using muscle power alone.

[0023] In other embodiments of the present invention, the positioning aid comprises mechanical spindles as a mechanism for vertical displacement and a mechanism for horizontal displacement, which are configured for millimeter-precise displacement in the horizontal and / or vertical directions. In this embodiment, the horizontal and vertical displacement can be adjusted independently of one another or independently of one another; in the latter variant, for example, distribution differentials are provided.In this embodiment, particularly in the case of a combined mechanism for vertical displacement and horizontal displacement, it is possible to effect horizontal and vertical displacements simultaneously by rotating only one adjusting thread; in this variant, it is further preferred if the combined mechanism for vertical displacement and horizontal displacement is configured to be adjustable to defined displacements in the horizontal and vertical directions before actuation, particularly by changing transmission ratios.

[0024] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the connection adapter is detachable and configured to first connect to a receptacle of the functional body and then connect to the top of the vertical displacement mechanism.

[0025] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the functional body is one-part and has at least three, preferably at least four, in particular four, receptacles; or the functional body is two-part and each part has at least two receptacles or one part has one receptacle and the other part has two receptacles; or the functional body is three-part or multi-part and each part has at least one receptacle.

[0026] In the context of the present invention, it is preferred in some variants if each part has a total of at least three, preferably at least four, in particular four, receptacles when constructing a platform from the prefabricated system.

[0027] Within the scope of the present invention, the system according to the invention can comprise various platform parts of different sizes and designs.

[0028] The present invention therefore also encompasses a kit of parts comprising the components mentioned above under i), ii), iii), and iv). It is essential for the components of this kit that the individual parts are coordinated with one another. This particularly applies to the dimensions of the individual parts, including the necessary stability and load-bearing capacities, as well as the positions and dimensions of the connecting adapters or receptacles for the connecting adapters and the other connecting devices.

[0029] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the functional body is or comprises a platform slab. The upper side of the platform slab can be designed according to local requirements. This means that desired features, such as haptic features or lighting, can already be provided, or preparations for such features can be made. In the simplest case, however, the upper side of the platform slab is a flat surface.

[0030] The platform slab may have downward-projecting stamps or webs on the underside, on which the connecting devices, which are configured to enable a connection of the functional body, foundation body or spacers to one another, are arranged, and on which optionally additional receptacles are arranged.

[0031] In further preferred embodiments of the present invention, the connection via the connecting adapter functions by inserting a threaded pin from above into a hollow piston cylinder, which in turn is seated in an anchoring body with an internal thread in the platform slab. This embodiment particularly effectively prevents relative movement between the sliding mechanism and the platform slab.

[0032] The system according to the invention is preferably used for the horizontal and / or vertical displacement of structural facilities, e.g. for boarding and alighting, loading and unloading along traffic lines, in particular railway platforms.

[0033] A further subject of the present invention is a method for the horizontal and vertical displacement of stationary structural facilities, preferably for the millimetre-accurate repositioning of prefabricated platforms, in particular according to the system according to one of the preceding claims, comprising the following steps: A) Providing a structural facility, in particular a prefabricated platform, comprising a single-part or multi-part functional body, preferably a platform part, comprising at least three receptacles, each configured to receive a connecting adapter of a positioning device, and at least one foundation body; B) Providing and positioning at least one positioning device on the respective foundation body, preferably, in particular if there is one foundation body per functional body, at least three positioning devices, comprising B1) Arranging a mechanism for vertical displacement on a device for horizontal displacement, optionally arranging the device for horizontal displacement on or in a support piece, and fixing the assembled elements to the foundation body;B2) Positioning the horizontal displacement device under a holder of the functional body, and connecting one connecting adapter of a positioning device to one holder of a functional body; C) Vertical displacement of the functional body by activating the mechanism for vertical displacement, whereby C1) if the mechanism for vertical displacement is designed as a hydraulic hollow piston cylinder, this is connected to a hydraulic pump, and C2) all hollow piston cylinders are pushed up by means of the hydraulic pump and thus the vertical displacement is effected; D) Horizontal displacement, optionally successively, of the horizontal displacement device by activating the mechanism for horizontal displacement; E) Optionally mounting spacers between the functional body and the foundation body; F) Setting down the functional body;G) optionally repeating steps C) to F) to achieve a desired vertical and / or horizontal displacement; H) fixing the device in the final state; I) preferably dismantling the positioning device. ;

[0034] In a preferred variant of the present invention, method steps C) to F) are carried out simultaneously at three or four locations under the platform.

[0035] In the context of the present invention, the provision of the structural facility, in particular a prefabricated platform, does not necessarily mean that a new prefabricated platform is used, but can also consist in the use of an existing prefabricated platform as the starting point of the method.

[0036] In this process according to the invention, it is preferred if the individual components used are those described above within the framework of the system according to the invention. It is possible to use individual, some, or all of the components described above, preferably all of them. If components not described above are used, they are conventionally known in the art.

[0037] It is particularly preferred to use the positioning devices described above in the method according to the invention, since this achieves particularly advantageous results.

[0038] In order to achieve a precise displacement with the method according to the invention when applied at several points (i.e. in particular in the case of larger structural facilities), displacement is carried out either at all points (the connections between the connection adapter and the holder) simultaneously or first on one side (for example at two points), then on the other side (for example at two points) with small distances, preferably alternating at most centimetres.

[0039] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the spacers, both in the method according to the invention and in the system according to the invention as described above, are steel moldings or concrete moldings.

[0040] In further preferred embodiments of the present invention, if a hydraulic press is used as a mechanism for vertical displacement, the functional body is set down by relieving the load on the hydraulic press.

[0041] Exemplary dimensions for functional bodies usable within the scope of the present invention are lengths of 4 m to 20 m, preferably 5 m to 10 m, widths of 0.5 m to 5 m, preferably up to 3 m, in particular 2 m to 3 meters; heights of 0.2 m to 2 m, preferably 0.4 m to 1 m. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the functional bodies, in particular platform parts, weigh between 2 t and 20 t, preferably up to 15 t, particularly preferably up to 12 t, in particular 8 to 12 t.

[0042] Exemplary dimensions and weights for foundation bodies that can be used within the scope of the present invention are lengths (front side) of 0.5 m to 2 m, preferably 0.9 m to 1 m, widths (in platform depth) of 0.5 m to 5 m, preferably 1 m to 3 m, in particular 1.8 m to 2.2 m; heights of 0.5 m to 2 m, preferably 0.8 m to 1.5 m, in particular 1 m to 1.4 m. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the foundation bodies weigh between 1 t and 5 t, preferably 2 t to 4 t, in particular 2.5 t to 3 t.

[0043] Suitable dimensions for positioning devices usable within the scope of the present invention are lengths of 200 mm to 1500 mm, preferably 400 mm to 1000 mm, particularly preferably 700 mm to 900 mm, in particular 800 mm; widths of 50 mm to 500 mm, preferably 200 mm to 400 mm, in particular 300 mm; heights of 250 mm to 750 mm, preferably 400 mm to 600 mm, in particular 500 mm; and corresponding weights of the positioning aids of 10 kg to 40 kg, preferably 20 kg to 30 kg, in particular 25 kg.

[0044] However, it is important to emphasize that the present invention is in no way limited to these measurements, dimensions and weights.

[0045] The present invention is based on modular, particularly prefabricated, structural facilities, in particular platform systems, comprising modules without rigid connections to one another, so that the vertical and horizontal position of the structural facilities, in particular platform systems, can be varied by displacement. The structural facilities, in particular platform systems, consist of at least two components: a variable foundation body and the actual functional body, in particular the platform section, of the structural facility, in particular the platform system, resting thereon.

[0046] The foundation body to be used or employed according to the invention is designed in such a way that the positioning device according to the invention can be inserted between the foundation body and the functional body and that a displacement, especially in the horizontal direction of the functional body, is geometrically permitted.

[0047] Well-known foundation bodies can be divided into two classes: 1) The foundation bodies of an existing structure are type-dependent and therefore always vary in their geometry (depending on the supporting functional body). Accordingly, positioning devices cannot usually be placed on the foundation body without further preparation, or only with preparatory work. 2) The foundation bodies of a new building are adaptable for the use of positioning devices. These can be placed flat on the foundation body and engage the underside of the functional body directly next to the connection between the foundation body and the functional body. The present invention relates in particular to case 2).

[0048] The functional body to be used or employed according to the invention, which is in particular a platform part, is also designed in such a way that the positioning device according to the invention can be inserted between the foundation and functional body. In particular, this means that the functional body has receptacles for connecting adapters of the positioning device(s) on its lower side, i.e., the side facing the foundation.

[0049] The positionability, i.e. vertical and / or horizontal displaceability, is ensured within the scope of the present invention by a temporarily installed mechanism - the positioning device - for the translational displacement of the stationary device - the functional body or platform part - in height and distance from the traffic line in order to bring the structural device and in particular its functional body into the desired suitable position.

[0050] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the platform section and / or foundation body are designed or adaptable such that commercially available threaded spindle devices can be used to achieve the displacement. For example, a metric ISO trapezoidal thread such as TR30x6 can be used within the scope of the present invention.

[0051] This embodiment of the present invention has the further advantage that this "adapter embodiment" provides further flexibility for application and use.

[0052] Within the scope of the present invention, the individual components are preferably coordinated with one another, and the resulting structural facilities, in particular platforms, have comparatively few components.

[0053] Likewise, the present invention also relates to a positioning device configured for horizontal and / or vertical displacement of components, preferably a functional body relative to at least one foundation body, comprising: at least one mechanism for vertical displacement; at least one horizontal displacement device in or on which the lower end of the mechanism for vertical displacement is received; optionally at least one support piece configured to receive the device for horizontal displacement or to be arranged between the device for horizontal displacement and the respective foundation body; optionally at least one anchoring device, each configured to enable anchoring to the respective foundation body; at least one mechanism for horizontal displacement, configured to be connected to or engaged with the device for horizontal displacement such that actuation of the mechanism for horizontal displacement causes horizontal movement of the device for horizontal displacement;at least one connection adapter, each configured to be connected to a receptacle of a functional body. ;

[0054] A preferred embodiment of the positioning devices according to the invention comprises or consists of the following components: I. a mechanism for vertical displacement, in the form of a press, preferably designed as a hydraulic hollow piston cylinder, comprising a connection adapter configured to be connected to or engage with a receptacle in or on the functional body; II. a device for horizontal displacement, in the form of a carriage in or on which the lower end of the hollow piston cylinder is received, comprising II.1 at least one device for securing the position of the press or the hydraulic hollow piston cylinder in the carriage, wherein the device is preferably designed as a mandrel; II.4 a sliding bearing on the underside, configured to enable the displacement of the carriage parallel to the main axis of the carriage within a support piece,wherein the main axis is preferably parallel to the longest side of the carriage; in a square, it is parallel to one of the sides; wherein the carriage is optionally configured with one, two, or all three of II.2, II.3, and II.5: II.2 a U-profile that defines the preferably elongated outer shape of the carriage; II.3 edge tabs for the stop of at least one threaded spindle; II.5 plain bearings on the sides parallel to the displacement direction, configured to support the displacement of the carriage or the press or the hollow piston cylinder parallel to the main axis of the carriage; III. a support piece, preferably in the form of a trough, wherein the support piece is preferably elongated, and it is particularly preferably arranged orthogonally to the traffic line to enable vertical transverse displacement toward or away from the traffic line, III.1 is optionally configured as a C-profile,wherein the open side is at the top, III.2 optionally securing or guiding devices for the carriage arranged in the support piece, preferably designed as inwardly bent upper lips of the C-profile frame (for example lip-shaped), III.3 preferably has head plates which limit the travel path of the carriage, wherein the travel path can optionally be further limited (shortened) by further elements arranged between the head plate and the carriage, and further optionally can have at least one edge tab for the stop of at least one threaded spindle, III.4 preferably has fixing elements which are preferably designed as fixing tabs lying parallel to the underside of the support piece, which are configured such that pins, screws, bolts or nails (or similar) can protrude through them into the surface of a respective foundation body or that pins protrude from the respective foundation element,Screws, bolts or nails (or similar) can protrude upwards through them, whereby the support pieces and their fixing elements are preferably configured in such a way that the fixing elements fit to corresponding fixing points of the respective foundation body and no further drilling work is necessary - the fixing elements and fixing points can also each be holes, so that the location of the support piece in relation to the respective foundation body can be achieved by inserting pins, screws, bolts or nails (or similar) into / through them - the connection points in the foundation body can also be holes with screw threads into which screws can be screwed from above, III.5 optional transport aids, preferably designed as lifting devices (preferably carrying handles), with which the support piece,optionally together with a carriage located thereon or therein (the latter optionally with or without a mounted hollow piston cylinder); IV. optionally at least one anchoring device, for example designed as an (auxiliary) angle, each configured to be anchored to (front sides) of the foundation plate, preferably by means of a screw connection, in order to anchor the support piece securely and immovably to the foundation body; V. at least one mechanism for horizontal displacement in the form of a threaded spindle, configured to be connected or engaged with the carriage such that a rotation of the threaded spindle causes a corresponding horizontal movement of the carriage; VI. at least one connecting adapter, each configured to be connected to a receptacle of the functional body, wherein preferred embodiments of the connecting adapter are provided with a horizontal formwork edge, an elastic intermediate plate, which is preferably perforated,a threaded pin, preferably with a hexagon socket (for example 15mm projection), and an internal thread anchoring body.

[0055] In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the carriage and the support piece are one component or are assembled into one component.

[0056] The threaded spindles (also called motion screws) used within the scope of the present invention act, together with corresponding elements on or in the carriage, in a known manner as a linear drive to convert a rotary movement by a user into a translatory movement of the carriage. For this purpose, the threaded spindles can have a turning aid at the end remote from the carriage, for example a rod mounted orthogonally to the spindle axis as a lever. However, it is also possible within the scope of the present invention and includes the possibility of the user turning the threaded spindle using simple tools, for example a cordless screwdriver or a drill connected to the spindle via an adapter.

[0057] According to the invention, in some variants, internally threaded sleeve anchors cast in concrete or subsequently glued in are preferred as connection adapters. The respective diameters and anchoring depths are determined by the respective statics and general building authority approval. For example, the DEMU bolt anchor 1988 FV can be used according to the invention.

[0058] In the context of the present invention, the carriages and support pieces are preferably made of steel, in particular stainless steel or steel protected by a surface coating.

[0059] The individual components of the positioning device according to the invention are described in detail above and are valid here just as described above.

[0060] Another subject of the present invention is a "platform kit" comprising various prefabricated platform parts (functional body parts) in various sizes and dimensions, various foundation body parts in correspondingly different sizes and dimensions, and correspondingly adapted adapter parts or spacers and positioning devices. In preferred embodiments, devices, such as recesses or special projections, are provided in the foundation bodies or platform parts for connecting to anchoring devices or connecting adapters of the positioning device, so that no excavation work, drilling, or the like is required for later repositioning.

[0061] Within the scope of the present invention, particularly preferred embodiments for prefabricated platform systems and methods for horizontal and / or vertical displacement are when at least two foundation bodies are used per functional body.

[0062] The procedure according to the invention, i.e., the system or method according to the invention, combines the lifting and displacement of the functional body. The lifting can occur before the displacement, the displacement can occur simultaneously with the lifting, possibly after the functional body has been lifted from its anchors, or the lifting and displacement can occur alternately, for example, iteratively, in order to approximate a new desired position as closely as possible.

[0063] In the procedure according to the invention, i.e. the systems or methods according to the invention, vertical and horizontal position adjustments are possible both independently of each other and simultaneously (depending on the (changed) circumstances, both are not always carried out).

[0064] In the inventive approach, i.e., the inventive systems and methods, the mechanism for the displacement is not permanently installed. Instead, the mechanism—the positioning device—is only temporarily deployed and used in the present invention. For example, instead of a single platform edge being displaced, the entire platform slab, i.e., the entire functional body / platform section, is displaced.

[0065] In the procedure according to the invention, i.e. the systems or methods according to the invention, the displacement mechanism - the positioning device - is arranged below the functional body / the platform part and above the foundation body during positioning and not to the side or above the functional body.

[0066] In the procedure according to the invention, i.e. the systems or methods according to the invention, the original functional bodies are retained; they are not altered even in the case of subsequent adaptations; in particular, no new drilling is required.

[0067] In some preferred variants of the procedure according to the invention, i.e. the systems or methods according to the invention, in contrast to incremental launching methods (e.g. known from bridge construction), no movement takes place in the longitudinal direction of the traffic route, but only in the transverse direction and / or in the vertical direction.

[0068] In the procedure according to the invention, i.e. the systems or methods according to the invention, no immutable structure is newly erected, but rather a structural facility, in particular a platform with foundation, which can be subsequently adapted to changed conditions and repositioned with millimetre precision in the vertical and horizontal direction using the same positioning devices used during its original construction.

[0069] The inventive use of connecting adapters of the positioning device, which during use are in engagement with the receptacles of the functional body or establish the connection between both parts, ensures that a relative horizontal displacement of the two parts cannot occur, thereby achieving high stability and precision.

[0070] An advantage of the present invention is that the device for height and / or lateral adjustment is not an integral component of the platform, i.e., after installation and / or readjustment of the platform position, it does not remain in or on the platform.

[0071] Advantages of the present invention arise, among other things, in particular from the fact that, on the one hand, the spindle devices of the present invention can be adapted to the respective platform systems or prefabricated platform components that are to be installed or relocated on site. Therefore, the adjustment devices within the scope of the present invention are not oversized (as, for example, in the Enerpac system known from the prior art), but are of a size that can be easily handled on site by one or two people.

[0072] An advantage of the present invention is that the system according to the invention can be used more variably than previously existing systems.

[0073] A further advantage is that the platforms are comparatively light, i.e. lighter than many other state-of-the-art systems, particularly because they do not have any positioning device after they have been set up.

[0074] A further advantage is that the erected platforms are easier to maintain because no (or fewer) positioning devices, particularly spindle mechanisms, which are susceptible to maintenance (because they are exposed to the weather, etc.), remain on the platform after installation. A particular advantage of the present invention is that a heavy and massive structural facility, usually a prefabricated concrete platform, can be moved and operated manually without the use of excavators or cranes, namely with a manually displaceable mechanism that can be operated by just one or two people. In addition, the immediate vicinity of the structural facility, in particular a traffic line, e.g. the track, does not have to be closed off during the work, as would be the case if a crane were used, for example from the track. This reduces closure times and line outages.

[0075] Within the scope of the present invention, the various variants and embodiments shown can be combined with one another as desired, where appropriate, for example - but not limited to - the claims. Character description:

[0076] The drawings are not to scale. For clarity and ease of illustration, some features of the invention may be exaggerated or shown in schematic form, and accordingly, some details of conventional or well-known elements may be omitted.

[0077] For reasons of clarity, several identical components / parts have not been marked in a drawing. Accordingly, if several identical elements are present in the drawings, the number of these elements in the drawing does not necessarily reflect the number of these elements in the actual implementation. Figure 1 : Figure 1shows a schematic side view of a structural device comprising functional bodies 1 and foundation body 3 and positioning device 2 according to the present invention on the left side and next to it on the right side a traffic line (tracks) 5 with appropriate substructure 6. For better visibility, the positioning device 2 Not all parts are shown. In addition, hollow piston cylinders (mechanism for vertical displacement) 2.I and carriage (horizontal displacement device) 2.II depicted separately; in reality, both are in contact with each other. The carrier piece 2.III is only indicated (in preferred embodiments of the invention, it forms a component together with the carriage). The anchoring device 2.IV and the mechanism for horizontal displacement 2.Vas well as the connection adapters 2.VI are not visible, the latter are already included in the images when displayed 4 of the functional body 1. The figure illustrates the parallel to the tracks 5 arranged position of the structural facility. Indicated by the horizontal double-sided arrows, the horizontal displacement of the functional body 1 either towards the tracks 5 or away from them. Similarly, the vertical double-sided arrows (drawn within 2.1) indicate the horizontal displacement of the functional body 1 indicated up or down. Figure 2 : Figure 2 shows a schematic front view of the structural equipment from Figure 1 ; the tracks 5 are not visible, as they would be located behind the building structure. Essentially, they are the same components as in Figure 1can be seen, but for reasons of clarity the carrier piece is also shown 2.III omitted. In contrast to Figure 1 It is indicated here that the foundation body 3 does not have to be a solid block throughout, but can be made up of several parts, or can have a base plate (or several) (not shown separately), which can then have sections that protrude upwards, for example, which can be seen here on the left and right. Figure 3 : Figure 3 shows a detailed view that is Figure 1 on the far left. In particular, it is illustrated here that the connection adapters 2.VI the positioning device 2 into the functional body 1, specifically the recordings 4, protrude (shown here as an example); in the representation of Figure 3 is the connection adapter 2.VI shown higher than the recording 4,to illustrate the position, but this is not necessarily the case in the actual design.
