Abstract
A switch (1) for a track system for rail vehicles, wherein the switch (1) has rails (2) and a sequence of sleepers (4) and, in each case on an upper side (5) of the respective sleeper (4), at least two of the rails (2) are fixed to each other in pairs opposite each other, and in each case an intermediate layer (6) is arranged between each one of the rails (2) and the respective sleeper upper side (5), and the sleepers (4) each have a sleeper pad (8) on their undersides (7), opposite their respective upper sides (5), and the sleeper pads (8) each have at least one elastomer layer (9), wherein the intermediate layers (6) each have at least one elastomer layer (10).
Claims15
A switch for a track system for rail vehicles, the switch comprises:
- rails;
- a sequence of sleepers, each having a sleeper upper side and a sleeper underside, and in each case on the sleeper upper side of the respective sleeper at least two of the rails are fixed situated opposite one another in pairs;
- a respective intermediate layer between each respective one of the rails and the respective sleeper upper side;
- a respective sleeper pad arranged in each case on the respective sleeper undersides situated opposite the respective sleeper upper sides, the sleeper pads each have at least one elastomer layer;
- the intermediate layers each have at least one elastomer layer;
- and
- wherein the elastomer layer of the sleeper pad of a respective one of the sleepers has at least two regions of different softness, wherein a harder of the at least two regions of the elastomer layer of the sleeper pad is arranged under a first one of the rails and a softer of the at least two regions of the elastomer layer of the sleeper pad is arranged under a second one of the rails, and the first one of the rails and the second one of the rails are fixed, spaced apart from one another, to the sleeper upper side of the respective sleeper and the elastomer layer of the intermediate layer arranged between the first one of the rails and the sleeper upper side of this sleeper and the elastomer layer of the intermediate layer arranged between the second one of the rails and the sleeper upper side of this sleeper have a different softness relative to one another.
A switch for a track system for rail vehicles, the switch comprises:
- rails;
- a sequence of sleepers, each having a sleeper upper side and a sleeper underside, and in each case on the sleeper upper side of the respective sleeper at least two of the rails are fixed situated opposite one another in pairs;
- a respective intermediate layer between each respective one of the rails and the respective sleeper upper side;
- a respective sleeper pad arranged in each case on the respective sleeper undersides situated opposite the respective sleeper upper sides, the sleeper pads each have at least one elastomer layer;
- the intermediate layers each have at least one elastomer layer;
- and
- wherein, seen in a longitudinal direction transversely to the sleepers, the elastomer layers of the sleeper pads of at least two of the sleepers arranged in succession have a different softness relative to one another and the elastomer layers of the intermediate layers on at least two of the sleepers arranged in succession are also formed with a different softness relative to one another, and at least one of in the case of a change of the softness of the elastomer layer of the sleeper pad from one of the sleepers to the sleeper following thereon in the longitudinal direction, the elastomer layers of the intermediate layers on these two sleepers are equal in softness or in the case of a change of the softness of the elastomer layer of the intermediate layer from one of the sleepers to the sleeper following thereon in the longitudinal direction, the elastomer layers of the sleeper pads under these two sleepers are equal in softness.
