Furthermore, the present invention relates to an assembly comprising at least one such device. The present invention further relates to a system comprising at least one such device. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for moving an infrastructure component, in particular a track slab, to a target position.

Background Art

[0002] There is known a device for moving an infrastructure component, in particular a track slab, which is pre-positioned and placed on the ground, to a target position, the device having first operating means for receiving a first driving movement for moving the infrastructure component along a horizontal direction and second operating means for receiving a second driving movement for moving the infrastructure component in a vertical direction.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved device for moving an infrastructure component, in particular a track slab, which is pre-positioned and placed on the ground, to a target position, which is particularly simple, time-efficiently manageable and economically operable.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] This problem is solved by an apparatus having the features of claim 1. An apparatus for moving an infrastructure component, in particular a track slab, which is pre-positioned and placed on the ground, to a target position, having ground contact means for placement on the ground and an operating device for receiving a first rotational movement about a first axis of rotation, can have a transmission device for converting the first rotational movement into a first movement movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component having a translational movement component directed perpendicular to the first axis of rotation, whereby it has been recognized that this apparatus is particularly simple and time-efficient to handle and operates economically.

[0005] Since the transmission device is configured to convert the first rotational movement, in particular a first driving movement about the first axis of rotation, into a movement movement having a translational movement component perpendicular to the first axis of rotation, the movement movement required for the movement of the infrastructure component can be generated particularly flexibly by the driving movement, for example, by a rotational movement about a rotation axis directed in the vertical direction. By means of the transmission device, the driving movement can be converted into a movement movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component having a translational movement component directed in the horizontal direction. In other words, the infrastructure component can be moved horizontally along the ground by the rotational drive of the operating device about a vertical axis of rotation. The driving movement as a rotational movement about the first axis of rotation, in particular a vertical axis of rotation, can be provided simply. In particular, the operating device can be attached to the infrastructure component in a particularly flexible and thus well-accessible arrangement.

[0006] The infrastructure component preferably includes a plate-shaped substrate, in particular made of concrete. Preferably, the infrastructure component has a finished concrete element, in particular a finished concrete plate. The infrastructure component can be formed as a component of a roadway, in particular a road and / or a track, in particular for transmitting the weight of a vehicle to the ground.

[0007] This device is preferably formed to move an infrastructure component from an initial arrangement to a target arrangement. In the initial arrangement, the infrastructure component is pre-positioned and placed on the ground, particularly via ground contact means. The ground contact means are formed to transmit the weight of the infrastructure component to the ground, particularly in the initial arrangement, in the target arrangement, and during movement relative to the ground.

[0008] The arrangement of an object, particularly an infrastructure component, is understood to be the position and orientation of that object. The infrastructure component is preferably moved to the initial arrangement by a conveying device, particularly by a crane and / or a transport vehicle. Preferably, the deviation between the target arrangement and the initial arrangement is in the range of 0 mm to 200 mm, particularly 1 mm to 150 mm, particularly 3 mm to 100 mm, particularly 5 mm to 50 mm, particularly 10 mm to 30 mm, and / or in the range of 0° to 30°, particularly 1° to 10°, particularly 2° to 7°, particularly 3° to 5°. The corresponding deviation of the position and / or orientation of the infrastructure component in the initial arrangement relative to the target arrangement can exist along a single spatial direction or each spatial direction of a Cartesian coordinate system and / or around a single spatial direction and / or each spatial direction.

[0011] The ground contact means is formed to transmit the weight of the infrastructure component to the ground. This device transmits the weight of the infrastructure component at least partially to the ground via the ground contact means. In particular, a plurality of such devices transmit the weight of the infrastructure component completely to the ground via the ground contact means. In other words, the infrastructure component is placed on the ground via each ground contact means. This device is formed to move the infrastructure component relative to the ground, in particular by moving the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component, in particular relative to the coupling means for attaching this device to the infrastructure component.

[0012] The operating device is formed to receive a driving motion in the form of a first rotational motion. The operating device may alternatively be configured to receive another form of driving output, in particular by receiving a translational motion, in particular a linear motion and / or a fluid output, in particular a hydraulic output or a pneumatic output. Thus, the transmission device may be formed to convert each driving output into a moving motion having a translational motion component, in particular in the horizontal direction.

Preferably, the drive forming parts of the operating means are of different sizes, particularly having different widths on two sides. The operating means closer to the ground contact means is preferably larger in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation than the operating means spaced further away from the ground contact means.

[0031] The device according to claim 9 operates particularly economically. Reversibly attaching the device to an infrastructure component means that the device can be removed from the infrastructure component without being damaged, in particular without being completely disassembled and / or broken down. This allows the device to be repeatedly used to move it to the target location with various infrastructure components.

[0032] According to one aspect of the invention, the infrastructure component is fixed to the ground, in particular by a poured and hardened filler. In this case, preferably, when the ground contact means is wetted by the filler at least in a predetermined section, the device can be reversibly removed from the infrastructure component, in particular without being damaged and in particular without being completely disassembled.

[0041] A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved system comprising at least one device and / or assembly and infrastructure components, which is particularly robust and economical to operate.

[0042] This object is solved by a system having the features of claim 12. The advantages of the system correspond to the advantages of the device and / or assembly described above. The system is preferably further developed by at least one of the features described above with respect to the device and / or assembly. In particular, the number of devices may be in the range described above with respect to the assembly.

[0043] Preferably, the system includes corresponding ground contact means for introducing forces transmitted via the ground contact means of the infrastructure components, in particular the weight, into the ground in a form that distributes the forces, in particular uniformly, and in particular with a reduced pressure.

[0048] The system according to claim 14 can be used particularly flexibly and operates robustly. Preferably, at least 3, in particular at least 4, in particular at least 5 and / or a maximum of 10 devices are attached to the infrastructure component. Thereby, the infrastructure component is always stably placed on the ground. In particular, a high load on the infrastructure component based on weight and / or deformation of the infrastructure component can be substantially avoided.

[0049] The system according to claim 15 is particularly easy to handle and is used economically. In particular when the main extension plane of the infrastructure component is oriented horizontally, the first axis of rotation and / or the second axis of rotation are preferably oriented vertically. In the assembled state in which at least one coupling means is attached to at least one corresponding coupling means, each operating device, in particular all operating devices, is preferably arranged on the upper side of the infrastructure component. In this case, the device can be loaded particularly easily by means of at least one driving movement. In particular, the movement of the infrastructure component is significantly facilitated and automated by means of a wrench or a drive unit by arranging the operating device on the upper side of the infrastructure component.

[0050] A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for moving an infrastructure component to a target location, in particular a method that operates robustly and economically.

[0051] This object is solved by a method having the features of claim 16. The advantages of this method correspond to the advantages of the devices and / or assemblies and / or systems described above. Preferably, this method is further developed by at least one of the features described above with respect to the devices and / or assemblies and / or systems.

[0052] The first rotational movement is preferably provided as a rotational movement about a vertical axis. Preferably, the infrastructure component is moved relative to the ground in the range of 1 mm to 50 mm, particularly 2 mm to 30 mm, particularly 3 mm to 20 mm, particularly 4 mm to 10 mm, with respect to the ground, particularly along the longitudinal direction of the rail and / or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail and / or in the vertical direction. Preferably, the movement of the infrastructure component to the target arrangement is carried out with respect to the ground until it falls below a predetermined threshold value of the deviation of the actual arrangement from the target arrangement, particularly with respect to the position deviation and / or the orientation deviation.

[0053] According to one aspect of the present invention, the first rotational movement and / or the second rotational movement is transmitted through the infrastructure component, particularly through the through-hole of the infrastructure component, particularly by an axis.

[0054] The infrastructure component is preferably a plate-shaped infrastructure component, particularly a track slab. Preferably, the infrastructure component is a completed concrete plate.

[0055] According to one aspect of the present invention, the second rotational movement about the second rotational axis is converted into a second translational movement of the ground contact means with respect to the infrastructure component, which has a translational movement component directed parallel to the second rotational axis. The second rotational axis is preferably directed parallel to the first rotational axis. In particular, both rotational axes are coaxially arranged. By the second rotational movement, the infrastructure component is preferably moved along the vertical direction.

[0056] The movement of the infrastructure component, especially in the vertical and / or horizontal direction, is preferably carried out by means of a plurality of devices, especially by all devices simultaneously, and especially in an automated manner. The control device may be configured such that the movement motions of these devices are adjusted to each other accordingly. In particular, a measurement system can be used to monitor the load on the infrastructure component. The control device can provide a control signal for preparing a drive motion to reduce the load based on the calculated load. Thereby, torsion of the infrastructure component, especially damage due to overload, can be avoided.

[0057] According to one aspect of the invention, the infrastructure component is moved to different positions along the vertical direction at a plurality of positions along its main extension plane. Thereby, the infrastructure component can be adjusted about one horizontal direction.

[0058] The method according to claim 17 ensures the movement of the infrastructure component in a particularly flexible manner. In particular, the infrastructure component can be moved in a particularly flexible manner, especially over a large distance. The first transmission means is preferably formed as an eccentric drive. The device, especially the ground contact means, may be formed to be reversibly guided through the through-hole of the infrastructure component and through the infrastructure component. The eccentric arrangement of the ground contact means is limited by the diameter of the through-hole. By lifting the ground contact means relative to the ground and reorienting it, the infrastructure component can be moved perpendicular to the first axis of rotation, especially in the horizontal direction, over any distance, regardless of the distance of the ground contact means from the first axis of rotation. After reorienting the ground contact means, the ground contact means is preferably lowered again to contact the ground. Preferably, all of the devices attached to the infrastructure component are lifted successively, reoriented, and brought into contact with the ground again in a new orientation. While at least one ground contact means is lifted relative to the ground, the weight of the infrastructure component is preferably transmitted to the ground by other devices, especially other ground contact means. Preferably, at least four devices, especially ground contact means, are used for this purpose.

[0059] Preferably, before lifting the first ground contact means, the movement of the infrastructure component in the direction of the target arrangement is carried out. After all the ground contact means are newly oriented, the infrastructure component is preferably further moved in the direction of the target arrangement. Thereby, the movement movement of the infrastructure component with respect to the ground that can be achieved as a whole can be made larger than the maximum possible movement of the ground contact means with respect to the coupling means and / or with respect to the infrastructure component.

[0060] The method according to claim 18 is particularly economical. Preferably, a reinforcing material is arranged, particularly in the vertical direction, between the ground and the infrastructure component. The infrastructure component is preferably covered with the reinforcing material in the vertical direction and pre-positioned on the ground. The free space between the ground and the infrastructure component can be filled with a filler. Preferably, the filler completely surrounds the infrastructure component at least in a predetermined section, particularly in the horizontal plane. The filler is preferably concrete or ballast. The concrete is preferably poured into the free space in a pourable manner. The infrastructure component, particularly the track slab, may have a pouring opening penetrating the plate base, and the concrete can be filled into the free space below the infrastructure component through this opening. For fixing the infrastructure component, the concrete hardens.

[0061] The method according to claim 19 can be particularly economically implemented. The device, particularly the ground contact means, can be removed from the infrastructure component, preferably completely, particularly without destruction and / or without disassembly, particularly after the hardening of the filler. The ground contact means is wetted by the hardened filler, preferably particularly in a predetermined area. The device, particularly the ground contact means, can be removed from the infrastructure component preferably by the rotational drive of a second operating means about a second axis of rotation. The device is moved vertically upward by a second transmission means, particularly a male thread, and removed from the infrastructure component.

[0062] The method according to claim 20 can be implemented economically and particularly time-efficiently. The automated movement of the infrastructure component to the target arrangement on the ground is preferably carried out by a measuring device and / or a control device and / or at least one drive unit. Preferably, a plurality of devices, in particular a first operating means and / or a second operating means, are moved simultaneously to the target arrangement by at least one drive unit, in particular in accordance with a control instruction of the control device and / or based on measurement data of the measuring device. In this case, the movement of at least one infrastructure component can be carried out particularly time-efficiently and resource-saving.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0065] Based on FIGS. 1 to 8B, a first embodiment of a system 1 including at least one device 2 for moving an infrastructure component 4 placed on the ground 3 from an initial arrangement to a target arrangement is described. Further, a method for moving the infrastructure component 4 from the initial arrangement to the target arrangement is described.

[0066] FIG. 1 shows three of a plurality of systems 1. The system 1 has, as a track component, one infrastructure component 4 each formed as a track slab, and five devices 2. The infrastructure component 4 is placed on the ground 3 solely via the device 2. The ground 3 is preferably a solid foundation including concrete. The infrastructure component 4 preferably includes a plate base 5 including concrete, particularly reinforced concrete, a mounting device 6 for attaching a rail 7 to the plate base 5, and at least one, particularly five corresponding coupling means 8 for attaching the device 2.

[0067] The infrastructure component 4 preferably has a ground coupling device 9 including a layer made of a rubber elastic material for adjusting strength, particularly a separation layer, and / or for providing rigidity and / or damping at the joint between the infrastructure component 4 and the ground 3. The ground coupling device 9 may be attached to the lower surface of the infrastructure component 4 at least in a predetermined section.

[0068] The infrastructure component 4 is connected to the ground 3 by a filling material 10, in particular a pourable concrete. A reinforcing material 11, in particular a steel reinforcing material, is placed on the ground 3. The infrastructure component 4 overlaps the reinforcing material 11 arranged between the ground 3 and the infrastructure component 4 in the vertical direction. The infrastructure component 4 and the reinforcing material 11 are surrounded by a frame 12 arranged on the ground 3. Each infrastructure component 4, in particular the plate base 5, has two notches 13 for filling the filling material 10 into the space 14 between the infrastructure component 4 and the ground 3.

[0069] The system 1 preferably has a measuring device 15 for detecting the arrangement of the infrastructure components 4. The measuring device 15 is a component of an assembly 16 that further has a device 2. By means of the assembly 16, at least one infrastructure component 4 can be moved to a target arrangement, particularly accurately and particularly automatically. The measuring device 15 has a position determination unit 17 for specifying the measuring position of the measuring device 15. The position determination unit 17 includes a laser distance measuring device for detecting the distance between the measuring device 15 and, in particular, the target window 19 of a reflecting rod 20 arranged at the ground measuring point 18 for detecting the distance between the measuring device 15 and the ground measuring point 18. By means of the position determination unit 17, the position of the measuring device 15 relative to the ground measuring point 18, in particular the position of the measuring device 15 in the global coordinate system, can be specified.

[0070] The measuring device 15 further has a stereo camera 21. The stereo camera 21 is attached to the position determination unit 17 in a particularly known relative arrangement. The stereo camera 21 includes two digital cameras 22. The stereo camera 21 is configured to detect the relative position from a marking 23 attached to each infrastructure component 4 to the measuring device 15. Based on the relative position of the marking 23 in the global coordinate system to the measuring device 15 and the measuring position of the measuring device 15, the arrangement of each infrastructure component can be specified within the global coordinates.

[0071] System 1 includes a control device 24 having a processor 25 for processing information based on a corresponding software program, a memory 26 storing the software program and the detected measurement data, and a user interface 27 for exchanging information with a user. The measuring device 15 and the control device 24 are configured to continuously identify the arrangement of at least one, in particular at least three, infrastructure components 4, in particular at a frequency of at least 0.1 Hz, in particular at least 0.5 Hz, in particular at least 1 Hz, in particular at least 10 Hz, in particular at least 100 Hz.

[0072] The control device 24 is preferably configured to compare the actual arrangement of the infrastructure component 4 with a target arrangement, in particular to determine an arrangement deviation. The arrangement deviation preferably includes a deviation in the position and / or orientation of the infrastructure component 4 with respect to the target arrangement, which is also described below as the target arrangement.

[0073] The control device 24 may be configured to display the arrangement deviation via the user interface 27, in particular via a display, and / or to automatically move the infrastructure component 4 to the target arrangement to reduce the arrangement deviation, in particular by providing a control signal. The control device 24 may particularly have a control communication interface 28 for outputting the control signal, either by a wired connection or wirelessly. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the control communication interface 28 is configured as a wireless communication interface, in particular as a WiFi interface, a ZigBee interface, or a Bluetooth interface.

[0074] Each device 2 has an operating device 29 for receiving a driving motion for moving the infrastructure component 4. The operating device 29 is configured to be driven manually, in particular using a wrench, and / or automatically, in particular using a drive unit 30. The drive unit 30 is shown as an example in one of the devices 2 in FIG. 1. The corresponding drive unit 30 is preferably arranged in each of the devices 2. This makes it possible to move the infrastructure component 4, in particular a plurality of infrastructure components 4, simultaneously, automatically, and in particular adjusted to each other to a target arrangement.

[0075] The drive unit 30 has at least one drive motor, in particular two drive motors, in particular an electric motor, for providing a driving motion, in particular two driving motions independent of each other. The drive unit 30 can have an energy storage unit for providing electrical energy, in particular a battery for supplying the drive energy required for at least one drive motor. Preferably, both driving motions are provided as coaxial rotational motions.

[0076] The drive unit 30 includes a drive device communication interface 31 for exchanging control information with the control device 24, in particular for receiving a control signal.

[0077] With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, the device will be described in more detail. The device 2 includes an operating device 29, ground contact means 32 for placing the infrastructure component 4 on the ground 3, in particular, coupling means 33 for attaching the device 2 to the infrastructure component 4, and a transmission device 34 for converting the driving motion applied to the operating device 29 into a moving motion of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3.

[0078] The operating device 29 has a first operating means 35 and a second operating means 36. The first operating means 35 and the second operating means 36 each form one drive device contact point having an outer hexagonal profile for receiving a first rotational movement about a first axis of rotation 37 and for receiving a second rotational movement about a second axis of rotation 38. The first axis of rotation 37 and the second axis of rotation 38 are arranged coaxially with each other.

[0079] The ground contact means 32 is formed for transmitting the weight of the system 1 to the ground 3, and in particular for placing the infrastructure component 4 on the ground 3. The ground contact means 32 has contact pins 39 for securely coupling to the ground 3. The ground contact means 32, in particular the contact pins 39, are arranged eccentrically with respect to the first axis of rotation 37.

[0080] The coupling means 33 has a male thread 48 and consists particularly of this male thread. The male thread 48 may be formed as a metric thread. Preferably, the outer diameter D of the male thread A is in the range of 10 mm to 50 mm, particularly 15 mm to 40 mm, particularly 20 mm to 30 mm.

[0081] The corresponding coupling means 8 of the infrastructure component 4 has a female thread 50 and consists particularly of this female thread. The corresponding coupling means 8 is preferably formed to form a threaded connection with the coupling means 33. For this purpose, the dimensions of the corresponding coupling means 8 preferably correspond to the dimensions of the coupling means 33.

[0082] The diameter d of the core hole of the female thread 50 of the corresponding coupling means 8 I is preferably in the range of 5 mm to 50 mm, particularly 10 mm to 40 mm, particularly 15 mm to 35 mm, particularly 20 mm to 30 mm. The root diameter d of the male thread 48 of the coupling means 33 A is substantially the diameter d of the core hole of the corresponding coupling means 8 IIt corresponds to. The corresponding coupling means 8 preferably has a threaded insert 41 with a female thread 50. The threaded insert 41 may be screwed into the plate base 5 or may be cast.

[0083] In FIG. 3, the orientation of the eccentric ground contact means 32 about the first rotation axis 37 is illustrated by symbols in the shape of a triangular wedge 42. This illustration of the orientation of the ground contact means 32 will be referred to when explaining the method for moving the infrastructure component 4 below.

[0084] The transmission device 34 has a first transmission means 43 for converting a first rotational movement into a first translational movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4. The first transmission means 43 has a base 44, to which the ground contact means 32 is eccentrically attached. The ground contact means 32 is integrally formed with the base 44, in particular, is materially connected to the base in a mutually connected manner. The first transmission means 43 further has a shaft 45 for transmitting the first rotational movement between the first operating means 35 and the base 44. The shaft 45 has a circular cross-section. The first rotational movement about the first rotation axis 37 transmitted to the first operating means 35 can be converted by the first transmission means 43 into a first translational movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 having a translational movement component perpendicular to the first rotation axis 37.

[0085] The transmission device 34 has a second transmission means 46. The second transmission means has a hollow shaft 47 with a male thread 48. The male thread 48 of the second transmission means 46 is the male thread of the coupling means 33. This male thread 48 thus has a dual function.

[0086] The second transmission means 46 is configured to convert the second rotational movement of the second operating means 36 about the second axis of rotation 38 into a second translational movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 having a translational movement component directed parallel to the second axis of rotation 38. In other words, the second transmission means 46 is configured to convert the rotational movement of the second operating means 36 into a movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 along the second axis of rotation 38.

[0087] The hollow shaft 47 surrounds the shaft 45. In particular, the shaft 45 is rotatably supported within the hollow shaft 47, in particular by means of a sliding bearing and / or a rolling bearing. Preferably, the shaft 45 is supported within the hollow shaft 47 in a form-fitting manner along the first axis of rotation 37, in particular on both sides.

[0088] The first axis of rotation 37 and the second axis of rotation 38 are directed substantially perpendicular to the main extension plane 49 of the infrastructure component 4. Thereby, it is ensured that the rotation drive of the first operating means 35 causes the infrastructure component 4 to move in the vertical direction. The rotation drive of the second operating means 36 causes the infrastructure component 4 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0089] The device 2 is configured to penetrate the infrastructure component 4 reversibly. For this purpose, the coupling means 33 completely overlaps all other elements of the device 2 arranged on the side of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the coupling means 33, in particular along the first axis of rotation 37 and / or along the second axis of rotation 38. In particular, the coupling means 33 completely overlaps the base body 44 and the contact pin 39. All elements of the device 2 located on the side of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the coupling means 33, in particular along the first axis of rotation 37 and / or along the second axis of rotation 38, are within the outer diameter D A of, in particular, the core hole diameter d I of, in particular, the root diameter d of the male thread 48 of the coupling means 33 A and are located inside.

[0090] The device 2 penetrates the through-core hole of the infrastructure component 4 completely and removably in a reversible manner, in particular without destruction. In particular, the device 2, in particular the coupling means 33, is formed to reversibly attach the device 2 to the infrastructure component 4, in particular without destruction and / or without disassembly. In particular, the device 2 is formed to be removed from the infrastructure component 4 after the filling material 10 has been poured in and the infrastructure component 4 has been fixed to the ground 3 and after the filling material 10 has hardened.

[0091] The overall length L of the device 2 is preferably in the range of 200 mm to 600 mm, in particular 300 mm to 500 mm, and especially 350 mm to 450 mm. The length l of the male thread 48 is preferably shorter than the overall length L. The difference in length is preferably in the range of 10 mm to 200 mm, in particular 20 mm to 100 mm, and especially 30 mm to 60 mm.

[0092] The overall length L of the device 2 and / or the thread length l of the male thread 48 is preferably greater than the thickness t of the infrastructure component 4, in particular of the plate substrate 5, and especially of the track slab. The thickness t of the infrastructure component 4 is preferably in the range of 100 mm to 500 mm, in particular 200 mm to 400 mm.

[0093] The distance c between the first operating means 35 and the second operating means 36, in particular along the first axis of rotation 37, is preferably in the range of 0 mm to 100 mm, in particular 5 mm to 50 mm, and especially 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0094] The functional form of the system 1, in particular of the device 2, of the assembly 16, and of the method for moving the infrastructure component 4 is as follows.

[0095] By means of a transport device (not shown), in particular by means of a road vehicle and / or a crane and / or a multi-joint arm, a plurality of infrastructure components 4 are positioned in succession on the ground 3, in particular inside the area to be inserted for pouring, preferably so as to cover the reinforcement 11 in a vertical direction.

[0096] In this pre-positioned arrangement, which is also referred to as the initial arrangement below, each infrastructure component 4 is placed on the ground 3 by the ground contact means 32 of the device 2.

[0097] Five devices 2 are respectively attached to each infrastructure component 4. The device 2 penetrates each infrastructure component 4, particularly the plate substrate 5 of the track slab, such that the ground contact means 32 protrudes downward from the infrastructure component 4. The operating device 29 of each device 2 protrudes upward from the infrastructure component 4.

[0098] A drive unit 30, which is signal-connected to the control device 24, is attached to each of the operating devices 29.

[0099] The measuring device 15 is located at the measuring position. The distance to each ground measuring point 18 is detected by the positioning unit 17, particularly by detecting the target window 19 of the reflecting rod 20. Based on this distance, the measuring position of the measuring device 15 is specified, particularly by the control device 24, particularly within the global coordinate system, and preferably stored in the memory 26 of the control device 24.

[0100] The measuring device 15 detects the arrangement of each infrastructure component 4, particularly by detecting the marking 23. In particular, the stereo camera 21 detects the position of the marking 23 relative to the measuring position of the measuring device 15. The arrangement of the infrastructure component 4, particularly the actual arrangement, is specified based on the image evaluation and based on the measuring position, particularly by the control device 24, particularly within the global coordinate system, and preferably stored in the memory 26 of the control device 24.

[0101] The control device 24 specifies the arrangement deviation between the target arrangement, particularly the target arrangement, and the actual arrangement of the infrastructure component 4. A control signal correlated with the arrangement deviation is specified by the control device 24. The control signal is transmitted to each drive unit 30 via a particularly wireless signal connection between the control communication interface 28 and each drive device communication interface 31.

[0102] In response to the control signal, the drive unit 30 drives the first operating means 35 and the second operating means 36, in particular independently of one another, about the first axis of rotation 37 and the second axis of rotation 38. Based on the control signal, all drive units 30 act on the device 2, in particular the operating device 29, so as to move the infrastructure component 4 from the initial arrangement to the target arrangement.

[0103] By the rotational drive of the first operating means 35, a horizontal movement of the infrastructure component 4 occurs in the region of each device 2, in particular in the region of the associated coupling means 8. By the rotational drive of the second operating means 36 of each device 2, a vertical movement of the infrastructure component 4 occurs in the region of each device 2, in particular in the region of the associated coupling means 8.

[0104] Since the ground contact means 32 has a contact pin 39 arranged eccentrically with respect to the first axis of rotation 37, the infrastructure component 4 moves circularly about the contact pin 39 during the rotational drive of the first operating means 35. The radius of the circular motion corresponds to the distance r between the first axis of rotation 37 and the contact pin 39. The distance r is 10 mm. When the first operating means 35 rotates completely once about the first axis of rotation 37, the infrastructure component 4 moves horizontally by ±10 mm with respect to the ground 3 in the region of the corresponding device 2.

[0105] Preferably, the control device 24 is configured to control the drive unit 30 such that the movement motion and / or movement time of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3 required as a whole is as small as possible.

[0106] The infrastructure component 4 is moving from the initial arrangement to the target arrangement. The target arrangement deviates from the target arrangement in the region of the marking 23, in particular by at most 5 mm, in particular by at most 2 mm, in particular by at most 1 mm, in particular by at most 0.5 mm, in particular horizontally and in particular perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the rail 7.

[0107] Regarding FIGS. 6A to 6C, the movement of each infrastructure component 4 will be described in more detail. For better understanding, the five devices 2 are described as devices 2.1 to 2.5 individually and distinguishable from each other. The arrangement of the ground contact means 32, in particular the contact pins 39, around the first axis of rotation 37 is symbolized by a triangular wedge 42.

[0108] In particular, the x - direction and y - direction of the Cartesian coordinate system shown in FIG. 6A extend in the horizontal plane. The x - direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail 7. The y - direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail 7. The z - direction is vertical, particularly upward. The x - direction, y - direction, and z - direction form a right - hand coordinate system. Preferably, the main extension plane 49 of the infrastructure component 4, in particular the plate substrate 5, is substantially parallel to the x - direction and y - direction, in particular to the horizontal plane.

[0109] In FIG. 6A, the system 1 is in particular such that the infrastructure component 4 and the device 2 are in the initial arrangement. The contact pins 39 of each device 2 are each arranged at an interval in the direction opposite to the y - direction with respect to the first axis of rotation 37. Correspondingly, the triangular wedge 42 faces in the direction opposite to the y - direction.

[0110] The first operating means 35 is rotationally driven about the first axis of rotation 37. The ground contact means 32, in particular the contact pins 39, are rotated by 90° about the first axis of rotation 37, particularly clockwise. The infrastructure component 4 thereby moves relative to the ground 3 in the horizontal direction, in particular in the x - direction and y - direction.

[0111] In FIG. 6B, the system 1 is shown in the first movement arrangement. In the first movement arrangement, the infrastructure component 4 has moved by x 1 = 10 mm in the x - direction and y 1 = - 10 mm in the y - direction relative to the initial arrangement.

[0112] Each ground contact means 32, particularly the contact pin 39, is arranged at a distance in the direction opposite to the x direction with respect to the first rotation axis 37. The triangular wedge 42 of the device 2 faces in the direction opposite to the x direction. The first operating means 35 is rotated about the first rotation axis 37, particularly by 90° again, particularly clockwise. As a result, the infrastructure component 4 moves in the direction opposite to the x direction and further in the direction opposite to the y direction with respect to the ground 3.

[0113] In FIG. 6C, the system 1, particularly the infrastructure component 4, is shown in the second movement arrangement. In the second movement arrangement, the infrastructure component 4 has moved by x 2 = 0 mm in the x direction and y 2 = -20 mm in the y direction with respect to the initial arrangement. The ground contact means 32 is arranged at a distance in the y direction from the first rotation axis 37.

[0114] In order to move the infrastructure component 4 particularly over a greater horizontal distance, particularly by more than twice the distance r between the first rotation axis 37 and the contact pin 39, the device 2 can be newly adjusted particularly in sequence. The new adjustment of the device 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C.

[0115] In FIG. 7A, the system 1 is shown in the second movement arrangement. For the new adjustment of the device 2.1, this device is moved along the second rotation axis 38, particularly upward in the vertical direction, by the rotational drive of the second operating means 36. The ground contact means 32 of the device 2.1 is disengaged from the ground 3.

[0116] Next, the first operating means 35 is rotationally driven to orient the ground contact means 32 appropriately to the initial arrangement. In this case, the infrastructure component 4 maintains its position and orientation with respect to the ground 3.

[0117] The second operating means 36 is rotationally driven about a second axis of rotation 38 in order to lower the device 2.1. The ground contact means 32 again contacts the ground 3. The infrastructure component 4 is again placed on the ground 3 via the device 2.1. The system 1 is located in the first adjustment arrangement shown in FIG. 7B.

[0118] The method described above is repeated in succession for each of the devices 2.2 to 2.5. The devices 2.1 to 2.5 are then correspondingly oriented with respect to the infrastructure component 4, where in this case the infrastructure component 4 has not changed its arrangement with respect to the second movement arrangement. The system 1, in particular the infrastructure component 4, can be moved relative to the ground 3 in a direction opposite to the y - direction according to the method described with respect to FIGS. 6A - 6C.

[0119] With reference to FIGS. 8A - 8B, an explanation will be given of how the system 1 can be fixed to the ground 3 particularly stably. Depending on the height of the infrastructure component 4 above the ground 3 and the fitting play between the coupling means 33 and the corresponding coupling means 8 and / or the elasticity of the device 2, there is a risk that an undesirable relative movement of the infrastructure component 4 with respect to the ground 3 may occur due to a force being introduced particularly in the horizontal direction into the infrastructure component 4. This may impair the precise arrangement of the infrastructure component 4 in the target arrangement. For example, when the filling material 10 is poured into the infrastructure component 4, a corresponding force introduction may occur.

[0120] The device can fix the infrastructure component 4 in the target arrangement, and can particularly clamp it. For this purpose, the devices 2, particularly the first operating means 35, are driven to rotate in opposite directions in pairs. In particular, the first operating means 35 of devices 2.1 and 2.3 are driven to rotate in the opposite direction, and the first operating means 35 of devices 2.2 and 2.4 are driven to rotate in the opposite direction. The moving movement of each ground contact means 32 around the first rotation axis is preferably in the range of 2° to 60°, particularly 5° to 45°, particularly 10° to 30°, particularly 15° to 20°. In this case, the infrastructure component 4 preferably does not move relative to the ground 3. This clamping can be performed by applying a predetermined moment to each device, particularly by the first operating means 35. Due to the relative movement of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the infrastructure component 4, elastic deformation of each device 2 that clamps the infrastructure component 4 in the target arrangement on the ground 3 occurs. The system 1 is located in the clamping arrangement shown in FIG. 8B. The clamping arrangement preferably corresponds to the target arrangement.

[0121] The method described above can be alternatively implemented manually instead of automatically by the drive unit 30. For this purpose, the arrangement deviation is displayed on the user interface 27. The user drives the operating device 29, particularly the first operating means 35 and the second operating means 36, with a tool, particularly a wrench, so that the infrastructure component 4 is moved to the target arrangement and / or clamped in the target arrangement.

[0122] In the target arrangement, particularly the clamping arrangement, a filler 10, particularly pourable concrete, is poured into at least one infrastructure component 4. The space 14 between the ground 3 and the infrastructure component 4 is filled with the filler. The filler hardens. The infrastructure component 4 is firmly bonded to the ground 3 by the hardened filler 10.

[0123] The device 2 can be removed from each infrastructure component 4. For this purpose, the second operating means 36 is rotationally driven about the second axis of rotation 38, and each device 2 is removed from the device 2 in the vertical direction, particularly in the z direction. The device 2 can be used to move the infrastructure component 4 to a target arrangement.

[0124] Regarding FIGS. 9 to 12, another embodiment of the system 1 provided with at least one device 2 will be described. Different from the above-described embodiment, the device 2 has a ground contact means 32 provided with rotatably supported contact pins 39. The contact pins 39 are formed in a cylindrical shape in a predetermined section. The end face of the cylindrical section of the ground contact pin 39, particularly the end face facing the infrastructure component 4, is round and is particularly formed in a spherical segment shape.

[0125] The ground contact means 32 has a rotary bearing 51, particularly a thrust bearing. The rotary bearing 51 is formed as a rolling bearing, particularly as a ball bearing.

[0126] The contact pin 39 is rotatably supported about the bearing axis 52 by the rotary bearing 51, and is supported by the transmission device 34, particularly by the first transmission means 43, and particularly by the base body 44. The bearing axis 52 is oriented parallel to the first axis of rotation 37. The distance r between the bearing axis 52 and the first axis of rotation 37 corresponds to the distance r between the first axis of rotation 37 and the tip of the contact pin 39. In particular, the contact pin 39 is formed rotationally symmetrically about the bearing axis 52.

[0127] Along the first axis of rotation 37, the contact pin 39 projects from the base body 44 by a height h in the range of 1 mm to 30 mm, particularly 2 mm to 20 mm, particularly 3 mm to 15 mm, particularly 4 mm to 10 mm in the direction of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the transmission device 34.

[0128] System 1 includes corresponding ground contact means 53. The corresponding ground contact means 53 is formed such that the force transmitted to the ground 3, particularly the weight of the infrastructure component 4, through the ground contact means 32, particularly the contact pins 39, is distributed particularly uniformly and over a particularly enlarged area and introduced into the ground 3. The corresponding ground contact means 53 preferably has a plate, particularly a metal plate, particularly a steel plate. The corresponding ground contact means 53 has a square bottom surface with a side length of 200 mm. The thickness of the corresponding ground contact means 53 is 15 mm.

[0129] System 1 and device 2 correspond to the above-described embodiments in other respects. The functional form corresponds to the functional form of the above-described embodiments.

[0130] Advantageously, by rotatably supporting the ground contact means 32 relative to the base body 44, a reduction in friction between the ground contact means 32 and the ground 3 is achieved. The device 2 can thereby be operated particularly simply, and in particular the operating device 29, particularly the first operating means 35, can be driven particularly easily and with low friction. The corresponding ground contact means 53 improves the introduction of force between the device 2 and the ground 3. In particular, the weight of the infrastructure component 4 transmitted through the ground contact means 32 can be transmitted by the corresponding ground contact means 53 over a larger area, and thus introduced into the ground 3 while being distributed particularly uniformly and particularly reducing the surface load. Damage to the ground 3 is avoided. The movement of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3 can be carried out particularly reliably by the device 2.

[0131] The device 2, in particular the assembly 16, can move the infrastructure component 4, which is pre-positioned and placed on the ground 3, to the target position in a particularly precise and economical manner. The device 2 and / or the assembly 16 are fully reusable. In particular, the device 2 can be completely removed from the device 2, especially without destruction and / or without disassembly, after the pouring and hardening of the infrastructure component 4 into the ground 3, and is thus provided for reuse to move other infrastructure components 4.
