BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a method for arranging and an arrangement for functional components at the support structure of tracks for rail-bound vehicles, especially magnetic levitation trains.
Tracks for rail-bound transport systems, especially magnetic levitation trains, comprise a plurality of functional components such as furnishings for supporting, guiding and moving the vehicles and devices for information transmission and energy exchange between vehicle and track. These components must be positioned relative to one another and to the comparatively fast moving vehicle in a defined position.
From the prior art various possibilities are known in order to fulfill the requirements for a location-exact positioning of furnishings and functional components at the supports of the track for rail-bound transport systems.
For example, according to German Offenlegungsschrift 27 15 717 adjustable screw connections can be used for positioning and fastening the track furnishings which may compensate manufacturing tolerances in regard to the position of the fastening means connected to the track.
Furthermore, from the Zeitschrift fur Eisenbahnwesen und Verkehrstechnik Glasers Annalen, 105 (1981) No. 7/8, page 210, it can be taken that an exact positioning of furnishings can be achieved by casting fastening bolts in a defined position at the support structure of the track.
The aforementioned solutions have a considerable disadvantage in common, especially in regard to the complicated adjustment of fastening, respectively, connecting elements.
According to the teaching of European application 0 151 283 B1, in a working step subsequent to the manufacture of the support structure, the connecting bodies fastened to the support structure are provided with size-exact throughbores and/or blind bores. This results in a greatly simplified mounting of the furnishings of the support structure.
The solution represented in German application 42 19 200 A1 has the advantage of a comparatively simple mounting of the functional components on a box-like and inherently stable module which is subsequently mounted to the longitudinal edges of the track support. The considerable mass of the number of functional components combined in the module and its longitudinal extension, however, are contrary to a location-exact positioning of such a module.
It is an object of the invention to provide a further simplification for the position-exact arrangement of functional components at the support structure of tracks for rail-bound vehicles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The method for arranging functional components at a support structure of a track of rail-bound vehicles according to the present invention includes the steps of: the first positioning elements penetrate the projecting arms;
The method may further comprise the step of position-precisely arranging the first functional component at the support structure.
The method may also comprise the steps of positioning the second functional component at the first functional component in a predetermined relative position to one another and materially connecting the second functional component to the first positioning elements in the predetermined relative position.
The step of furnishing includes selecting positioning elements in the form of securing elements for anchoring the first functional component in the support structure. The method further comprises the step of rigidly connecting the positioning elements to the support structure.
The inventive arrangement of functional components at a support structure of a track for rail-bound vehicles, wherein at least two functional components are in a defined position relative to one another and relative to the track, is characterized by: elements; defined distance to the functional surface; positioning the second functional component relative to the first functional component; functional component by introducing the first positioning elements.
The track preferably has projecting arms with throughbores and the first positioning
