CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application is a national phase application of PCT Application No. PCT / IB2023 / 058381, filed Aug. 23, 2023, entitled “ANGLED GUIDE PLATE AND FASTENING SYSTEM FOR FASTENING RAILS FOR RAIL VEHICLES”, which claims the benefit of European Patent Application No. 22020415.0, filed Aug. 29, 2022, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The invention relates to an angle guide plate for fastening rails for rail vehicles to a sleeper using a tension clamp that can be supported on the angle guide plate, including at least one support surface, in particular a support shoulder, formed on a top side of the angle guide plate for supporting the tension clamp, a rail-side contact surface for a rail foot of the rail, and a bottom side opposite the top side for supporting the angle guide plate on the sleeper.

[0003] The invention further relates to a fastening system for fastening rails for rail vehicles to a sleeper using the angle guide plate according to the invention, and to a sleeper for use in such a fastening system.2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Rails of a track body are usually mounted using a spring element, often referred to as a tension clamp or rail clip, and a suitable tensioning element or hold-down device for tensioning the spring element. This tensioning element or hold-down device is usually a screw that is anchored in the sleeper and by which the spring element is clamped against the ground so that it applies the required holding forces via its section resting on the rail foot. In doing so, the spring element is supported on an angle guide plate resting on the sleeper, which comprises on the rail side a contact surface for a rail foot of the rail, serving for lateral guidance of the rail. The purpose of the angle guide plate here is to secure the rail against shifting in the transverse track direction on the support area of the sleeper and to transmit the wheel lateral forces into the sleeper body. In doing so, the angle guide plate is supported with an end face arranged on the side facing away from the rail against a support shoulder of the sleeper.

[0005] In the fastening system disclosed in WO 2011 / 032932 A1, the support shoulder of the sleeper and the end face of the angle guide plate that interacts with it extend obliquely to the rail longitudinal direction, so that shifting the angle guide plate relative to the sleeper in the rail longitudinal direction permits an adjustment to different track gauges.

[0006] A disadvantage of this embodiment is, however, that the angle guide plate and the rail are arranged in a recessed area of the sleeper in order to allow for support of the angle guide plate on the support shoulder of the sleeper. The cross section of the sleeper is weakened across the entire support area of the rail and the angle guide plates, and the rail is located closer to the ballast bed, which makes tamping more difficult. To avoid these effects, the sleeper in the rail support area must be made higher, with the support shoulders of the sleeper also having to be raised relative to the rail support. This increases the amount of labor and material required to manufacture and / or process the sleeper.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and, with reduced effort, to provide an angle guide plate and an associated rail fastening system with associated sleeper that allow displacement of the angle guide plate relative to the ground in the rail longitudinal direction for adaptation to different track gauges, without requiring a material- and labor-intensive configuration of the ground or the angle guide plate.

[0008] To achieve this object, according to a first aspect, in the case of an angle guide plate of the type mentioned at the outset, the invention essentially provides that a rib is formed on the bottom side, which is displaceably receivable in a groove formed in the sleeper, and that a guide surface extending at an acute angle to the rail-side contact surface is provided, so that by displacing the rib in the groove, an adjustment of the rail-side contact surface with a directional component running perpendicular to the contact surface can be implemented.

[0009] Thus, the adjustment of the angle guide plate along an oblique guide surface is realized by a rib formed on the underside of the angle guide plate. For guiding and supporting the rib, it is only necessary to provide a groove in the ground, for example, the sleeper, into which the rib engages. No further processing is required for the remaining area of the ground, and in particular the bearing level of the rail and the angle guide plate can remain the same.

[0010] Preferably, the rib is formed in one piece with the angle guide plate.

[0011] The angle guide plate can be formed in one piece or can be composed of two separate parts. In this case, a first part can comprise the rib formed on its underside and a second part can support itself against the first part in a direction running transverse to the rail longitudinal direction.

[0012] Within the scope of the present invention, the term “transverse” in relation to a reference direction means that the corresponding direction extends perpendicularly or obliquely to the reference direction. “Transverse to the rail longitudinal direction” thus means “perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction” or “oblique to the rail longitudinal direction.”

[0013] The one-piece embodiment can preferably be realized in such a way that the guide surface is formed on the rib, which, in a top view, extends at an acute angle to the rail-side contact surface. In other words, on the underside of the angle guide plate, a rib is formed that extends at an acute angle to the rail-side contact surface, that is displaceably receivable in the groove formed in the sleeper, and that carries the guide surface.

[0014] As mentioned above, the tension clamp is usually pretensioned by means of a tension screw that can be anchored in the sleeper in such a way that it applies the required holding forces via its section(s) bearing on the rail foot. In doing so, the tension screw penetrates the angle guide plate. To allow shifting of a one-piece angle guide plate relative to the sleeper in the rail longitudinal direction, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the angle guide plate comprises a slot extending from the top side to the bottom side, whose longitudinal axis runs parallel to the rib, wherein the slot is preferably formed between the support shoulder and the contact surface. The adjustability of the angle guide plate relative to the sleeper is determined here by the length of the slot.

[0015] A two-piece embodiment of the angle guide plate can preferably be realized such that a first part carries the rib or is formed by the rib, which extends parallel to the rail-side contact surface, and a second part comprises the rail-side contact surface, wherein the first part is displaceable along the guide surface on the second part. The adjustment of the rail-side contact surface in a direction perpendicular to the rail, i.e., perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction, is thus achieved by displacing the first part with its rib in the groove that extends parallel to the rail-side contact surface, wherein the first part slides along its guide surface on the oblique guide surface of the second part and thereby moves the latter perpendicularly to the direction of displacement.

[0016] The possible displacement path of the first part and the acute angle of the guide surface relative to the contact surface determine the possible displacement path of the second part perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction. However, the displacement path of the first part is limited, among other things, by the length of the groove formed in the sleeper. Furthermore, the acute angle relative to the contact surface cannot be arbitrarily steep, as this would require excessive space transverse to the rail longitudinal direction. In order to achieve the largest possible displacement path of the second part perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction with little space requirement, the first part and the second part preferably each comprise at least two guide surfaces running at an acute angle to the rail-side contact surface along which the first part is displaceable on the second part, the guide surfaces of each part being arranged one behind the other in the direction of displacement and offset relative to one another perpendicular to the direction of displacement. The guide surfaces on the first part are preferably spaced apart from each other by a recess in the rail longitudinal direction further than the preferably longer guide surfaces on the second part. This makes it possible to design the guide surfaces at a steeper angle to the rail-side contact surface without increasing the space requirement perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction. In particular, this achieves a small space requirement in the longitudinal direction of the rail, and a limited displacement path in laterally closed grooves that do not extend over the entire width of the sleeper is sufficient, so that a standard set of concrete sleepers already installed in the track can continue to be used or can be retrofitted with the angle guide plate according to the invention.

[0017] According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the first and second parts comprise mutually cooperating form-fit elements effective transverse to the direction of displacement, wherein the form-fit elements are preferably formed by at least one notch extending at an acute angle to the rail-side contact surface and a projection engaging in the notch. Such form-fit elements or notches facilitate displacement of the second part of the angle guide plate in both directions, i.e., away from the rail and toward the rail, since the first and second parts are held together in a form-fit manner, and the first part, which faces the rail, is also pulled back again when the rib is displaced in the groove, through the notches / pins or projections.

[0018] To allow displacement of the second part of the angle guide plate transverse to the rail when a tension screw is anchored in the sleeper, a slot extending from the top side to the bottom side is preferably also provided, whose longitudinal axis runs perpendicular to the rail-side contact surface.

[0019] According to a preferred development of the invention, the acute angle is 5-20°, preferably 10-13°. This allows a lateral displacement of the angle guide plate relative to the ground such that a change in the track gauge of up to 5 cm is achieved. To achieve this even with a narrowly limited prescribed displacement path, the acute angle in the case of guide surfaces that are arranged one behind the other in the direction of displacement and offset to each other perpendicular to the direction of displacement can furthermore be provided correspondingly larger in a preferred development.

[0020] To allow the greatest possible displacement path with a limited extent of the groove, it may be advantageous for the angle guide plate to have a greater width than the rib.

[0021] The rib can have a trapezoidal or round cross section. A trapezoidal to rectangular cross section of the rib and the correspondingly shaped groove has the advantage over a round cross section that it best replaces the shoulder that would otherwise be provided on the sleeper.

[0022] For supporting the tension clamp on the top side of the angle guide plate so that the tension clamp is prevented from slipping off the rail foot, the angle guide plate preferably comprises a support shoulder. The support shoulder is formed in particular in an end region of the angle guide plate facing away from the contact surface and can extend parallel to the contact surface.

[0023] The position of the tension clamp on the angle guide plate can be particularly well secured if the support shoulder on the side facing the contact surface is delimited by a channel-shaped recess for engagement of at least one rear support section of the tension clamp.

[0024] With regard to the position of the rib on the underside of the angle guide plate, a preferred development of the invention provides that the channel-shaped recess and the rib intersect, the intersection point preferably being located at the height of the slot, i.e., approximately in the middle of the angle guide plate. In interaction with a tension clamp having two rear support sections, this allows a configuration in which, when the tension clamp is mounted, the two rear support sections of the tension clamp engage in the channel-shaped recess to both sides of the middle, wherein, in top view, the support points of the support sections on the angle guide plate are arranged on opposite sides of the rib. This has the effect that the rib is ideally secured against lifting under load. At the same time, this results in a relative position between the rib and the channel-shaped recess that produces a particularly narrow and thus material-saving embodiment of the angle guide plate.

[0025] Preferably, the tension clamp can also be supported in a front area on the angle guide plate in the installed state. For this purpose, the embodiment is advantageously made such that, in an end region of the angle guide plate facing the contact surface, a support surface for supporting at least one front support section of the tension clamp is formed on the top side of the angle guide plate.

[0026] To enable a form-fit interaction of the tension clamp with the angle guide plate in different displacement positions and thus secure the displacement position, it is preferably provided that the support surface has a plurality of parallel grooves running transverse, in particular perpendicular, to the contact surface, into which the at least one front support section of the tension clamp engages for positional security in one of several displacement positions of the angle guide plate.

[0027] According to a second aspect of the invention, a fastening system for fastening rails for rail vehicles to a sleeper is provided, comprising an angle guide plate according to the first aspect of the invention that can be arranged on the sleeper, and a sleeper which comprises at least one groove running transverse to the sleeper longitudinal direction, into which the rib of the angle guide plate can engage in a displaceable manner in the groove longitudinal direction in the mounted state, and further comprising a tension clamp which comprises at least one support section that can be supported on the support surface of the angle guide plate, and at least one rail holding section via which a hold-down force can be applied to the rail foot of the rail in the mounted state of the tension clamp.

[0028] To provide the largest possible contact surfaces between the rib and the groove, it is preferably provided that the rib and the groove have matching cross sections. If the rib has a trapezoidal cross section, the groove advantageously also has a correspondingly dimensioned trapezoidal cross section, so that the rib is displaceably received in the groove with as little play as possible.

[0029] As already mentioned in connection with the first aspect of the invention, the angle guide plate according to the invention, with a rib formed on the bottom side, merely requires the formation of a groove in the sleeper, but no further processing of the sleeper, so that in particular the bearing level of the rail and the angle guide plate can remain the same. By a stepless design is meant here that no abutment shoulders that project beyond a bearing area of a rail are molded or formed on the sleeper beside the angle guide plate for lateral support or guidance on the sleeper. In other words, the areas of the surface of the sleeper adjacent to the groove on both sides of the groove—i.e., on the side facing the rail bearing area and on the side facing away from the rail bearing area lie in the same plane.

[0030] Hereby, the groove can, for example, be subsequently produced by milling, especially if the sleeper is produced as a precast concrete part in one piece. The groove can also be formed during the production of the sleeper by a form body inserted into the mold for shaping the precast concrete part. This allows extremely simple production of the sleeper with a block-like standard shape without stepped or recessed surface areas. The embodiment according to the invention is also suitable for sleepers based on plastic.

[0031] A preferred embodiment in this context provides that the groove extends across the entire width of the sleeper. This leads to a further simplification of the manufacturing process and also allows the largest possible adjustment range of the angle guide plate relative to the sleeper.

[0032] As is known per se, the fastening system preferably also comprises a tension screw that penetrates the slot of the angle guide plate and can be anchored in a bore of the sleeper in order to tension the tension clamp.

[0033] The tension clamp can comprise at least one rear support section that can be supported against the support shoulder of the angle guide plate.

[0034] The tension clamp can further comprise two rear support sections, and the angle guide plate can comprise corresponding support surfaces on which the support sections rest in the mounted state of the tension clamp, wherein in top view the support surfaces are located on opposite sides of the rib.

[0035] Furthermore, the tension clamp can comprise at least one front support section, which, in the mounted state, can be supported on the support surface arranged in the end area facing the contact surface of the angle guide plate.

[0036] Preferably, the tension clamp is essentially “ω”-shaped, whose free ends each form the rail holding section, and preferably whose central section, starting from the front support sections, spans over the rail foot at a distance. The central section thus advantageously forms an overload protection device that comes into effect when the rail foot rises by the amount of the stated distance due to excessive load, and prevents any further rising of the rail foot and the associated further deformation of the rail holding sections.

[0037] In an embodiment with a two-piece angle guide plate, an alternative embodiment of the tension clamp can preferably be used that is similar to an “e”-shape, except that the end section of the “e”-shape has an additional inward bend.

[0038] Such a tension clamp preferably comprises a U-shaped main section, which has a U-bend, a first leg arranged on one side of the U-bend, and a second leg arranged on the other side of the U-bend, wherein on the first leg a hook-shaped, inwardly bent support or holding section that can be supported on a hold-down device is formed, and on the second leg an end section bent toward or away from the support or holding section is formed, wherein the U-bend forms a torsion section, so that via the bent end section a hold-down force can be applied to the track body element.

[0039] The bent end section here forms the region of the tension clamp via which the hold-down force is applied to the rail foot. The hook-shaped holding section extending from the first leg of the U-shape is used to be held under tension by a tension screw when the bent end section exerts a torsional force on the torsion section formed by the U-bend of the tension clamp. The hook-shaped holding section is bent inward, meaning that the hook is bent between the two legs of the U-shape. Preferably, on the side of the first leg, the hook-shaped support or holding section forms the end of the tension clamp, i.e., that the free end of the area bent into a hook lies between the two legs of the U-shape. The holding section can be supported at least partially on a base such as the angle guide plate according to the invention, thus corresponding to a support section.

[0040] Preferably, the bent end section extends at an angle of 80-100°, preferably about 90°, relative to the second leg.

[0041] Preferably, a hook bend of the support or holding section has essentially a 180° bend, so that a free end region of the support or holding section runs essentially at least in sections parallel to the first leg.

[0042] Preferably, an imaginary extension of the bent end section overlaps the hook bend in a top view.

[0043] Preferably, in the unloaded state, the first leg and the support or holding section lie in the same plane.

[0044] Preferably, in the unloaded state, the second leg is inclined at an acute angle relative to the common plane of the support or holding section and the first leg, and preferably lies in an inclined plane spanned by the second leg and a straight line normal to the axis of the first leg forming a tangent to the U-bend.

[0045] Preferably, in the unloaded state, the second leg and the bent end section lie in the inclined plane, or the bent end section is bent upward relative to the inclined plane.

[0046] According to a further aspect of the invention, a sleeper for use in a fastening system according to the invention is provided, comprising a top side with support areas arranged at a track gauge distance for one rail each, wherein on both sides of each support area a groove extending at an acute angle to the rail longitudinal direction is formed, in which the rib formed on the underside of the angle guide plate can be received in a displaceable manner in the longitudinal direction of the groove. The groove extending at an acute angle to the rail longitudinal direction can also be defined as a groove extending at an acute angle to the sleeper longitudinal direction, since the rail longitudinal direction extends perpendicular to the sleeper longitudinal direction.

[0047] As already set out in connection with the second aspect of the invention, the groove can extend over the entire width of the sleeper. Alternatively, however, the groove can also be formed so that it ends at both ends at a distance from the respective side surface of the sleeper.

[0048] Advantageously, apart from the groove and any bores for anchoring tension screws, the sleeper has no further processing and is in particular formed such that, on the top side, the sleeper is free of steps apart from the oblique grooves. In this way, an additional material effort for support shoulders or steps of the sleeper that are raised relative to the rail support area is largely avoided. This has a positive effect on the CO2 balance, especially in the case of concrete sleepers.

[0049] By a stepless design is meant here that no abutment shoulders that project beyond a bearing area of a rail are molded or formed on the sleeper beside the angle guide plate for lateral support or guidance on the sleeper.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0064] In FIGS. 1 and 2, a sleeper 1 is shown on which a rail 2 rests. The rail foot 3 of the rail 2 is secured in position on both sides of the sleeper 1 by an angle guide plate 4 in each case, which comprises a rail-side contact surface 5 for the rail foot 3. To hold down the rail foot 3, a tension clamp 6 is provided on both sides, which is held under tension by a tension screw 7. The tension clamp 6 is essentially “ω”-shaped and comprises two rear support sections 8, which are supported against a support shoulder 9 of the angle guide plate 4 and, in doing so, engage in a channel-shaped recess 10. The free ends of the tension clamp 6 each form a rail holding section 11, which exerts a hold-down force on the rail foot 3 of the rail 2. Furthermore, the tension clamp 6 in the area of the tension screw 7 comprises two front support sections 17 (FIG. 2), which rest on a support surface 12 (FIG. 3) of the angle guide plate 4. The support surface 12 (FIG. 3) has a plurality of grooves 13 (FIG. 3) parallel to each other and running transverse to the contact surface 5, in which the front support sections 17 of the tension clamp 6 engage. The tension clamp 6 also comprises a central section 14, which extends from the front support sections 17 of the tension clamp 6 and spans over the rail foot 3 at a distance, thereby forming an overload protection device.

[0065] On the underside 19 of the angle guide plate 4, a rib 15 is formed, running obliquely to the rail longitudinal direction and engaging in a groove 16 of the sleeper 1 in a displaceable manner. In this way, the angle guide plate 4 can be displaced along an oblique guide surface 41 (FIGS. 4 and 6) relative to the sleeper 1 and relative to the rail 2, enabling adaptation to different track gauges or rail positions.

[0066] FIG. 3 to 6 show the angle guide plate 4 in isolation, and in addition to that, the slot 18 can now be seen, whose longitudinal axis runs parallel to the rib 15. The slot 18 is formed between the support shoulder 9 and the contact surface 5. As indicated by dashed lines in the top view according to FIG. 5, the channel-shaped recess 10 and the rib 15 intersect, the intersection point 24, in top view, being located at the level of the slot 18, in particular with respect to the length of the angle guide plate 4, approximately in the middle of the angle guide plate 4. Here, the center line of the channel-shaped recess 10 is labeled 21, the center line of the rib 15 is labeled 22, and the center line of the angle guide plate 4 is labeled 23. In this top view, the acute angle between the guide surface 41 (not visible) and the rail-side contact surface 5 is enclosed by the center lines 21, 22 as an example.

[0067] The two support surfaces on which the rear support sections 8 of the tension clamp 6 rest in the central position of the tension clamp 6 are labeled 25, and it can be seen that in top view, the support surfaces 25 are arranged on opposite sides of the rib 15 (i.e., of the center line 22).

[0068] FIG. 7 shows the sleeper 1 in isolation, and it can be seen that, apart from the grooves 16 and the bores 20 for accommodating the tension screws 6, the sleeper 1 comprises no additional processing, recessed areas, depressions, and / or surface steps.

[0069] FIG. 8-11 show a modified embodiment of a fastening system in which the angle guide plate 4 is formed in two parts and an alternative tension clamp 34 is used. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the angle guide plate 4 consists of a first part 26, facing away from the rail 2, and a second part 27, facing toward the rail 2. The first part 26 carries a rib 15, which, in the installed state, engages in the groove 16, the rib 15 preferably having a trapezoidal cross section and at least one guide surface 28 being provided. The first and second parts 26, 27 are displaceable along the oblique guide surfaces 28, 29 (FIG. 11) relative to each other to allow adaptation to the respective track gauge. The second part 27 further comprises a plate-shaped support element 30 on which the tension clamp 34 rests and which extends over the upper surface of the first element 26. As shown in FIG. 11, the plate-shaped support element 30 on its underside comprises at least one oblique guide notch 31 into which guide pins or projections (not shown) formed on the top side of the first element 26 engage in order to hold the two parts 26, 27 together, especially in the unloaded state.

[0070] Furthermore, it can be seen that the second part 27, in particular the plate-shaped support element 30, comprises a through-hole 18, which, in the installed state of an exemplary tension clamp 34, is penetrated by the screw 7. The through-hole 18 is formed as a slot perpendicular to the rail longitudinal direction. For lateral guidance of the tension clamp 34, the second part 27, in particular the plate-shaped support element 30, comprises two walls 31 extending in the insertion direction 32 of the tension clamp 34. Another purpose of guiding the tension clamp 34 is served by the protrusion 33, which is arranged between the first leg 36 and the free end 40 of the support or holding section 38 of the tension clamp 34 (see FIG. 12-15).

[0071] The tension clamp 34 can be shifted between the end assembly position shown in FIG. 8 and a not shown pre-assembly position in which the tension clamp 34 does not span over the rail foot. The embodiment is such that the screw 7 does not have to be loosened in order to displace the tension clamp 34 from the pre-assembly position into the end assembly position. The displacement can be carried out, for example, by means of a lever-like tool.

[0072] The tension clamp 34 used in the fastening system shown in FIG. 8-11 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 12-15. The tension clamp 34 comprises a U-shaped main section that comprises a U-bend 35, a first leg 36 arranged on one side of the U-bend 35, and a second leg 37 arranged on the other side of the U-bend 35, wherein a hook-shaped, inwardly bent support or holding section 38 that can be supported on a hold-down device or angle guide plate is formed on the first leg 36, and a bent end section 39 is formed on the second leg 37, bent toward or away from the support or holding section 38. The holding section 38 comprises a free end 40.

[0073] In FIG. 14, it can be seen that the bent end section 39 is slightly inclined upward, so that an acute angle α is present between the bent end section 39 and the plane of the support or holding section 38 and the first leg 36.

[0074] In FIG. 15, it can be seen that the second leg 37 encloses an acute angle β with the plane of the support or holding section 38 and the first leg 36.
