METHOD AND DEVICE FOR POSITIONING A TRAIN

摘要

1. A method for positioning a train (30), comprising a locomotive and a plurality of cars (1 to n), which are coupled via pulling and pushing devices with the interposition of spring forces, characterized in that a first end of the train (30) is previously positioned and a stop device (10) is activated, in that the train is moved until the stop device (10) interacts with a counter-stop (20), a force acting in the longitudinal direction of the train (30) being applied, and is further elastically lengthened or shortened by utilizing the spring forces, in that a further stop device (10') is activated at a second end of the train (30), and in that the force acting in the longitudinal direction is reduced and the train (30) is moved under the influence of the spring forces against the direction in which the change of length is effected until the further activated stop device (10') interacts with a further counter-stop (20'), an elastic pre-stress being maintained. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the force acting in the longitudinal direction of the train (30) is a tractive or compressive force. 3. An apparatus for implementing the method as claimed in claims 1 and 2, characterized in that one stop device (10, 10') is provided at least in the region of the two ends of the train (30), these stop devices interacting in the event of activation with at least one stationary counter-stop (20, 20') in each case. 4. An apparatus for implementing the method as claimed in claims 1 and 2, characterized in that one stop device (10, 10') is provided at least in the region of the two ends of the train (30), these stop devices interacting in the event of activation with at least one counter-stop (20, 20'), provided on the train, in each case. 5. The apparatus as claimed in claims 2 to 4, characterized in that each stop device (10, 10') possesses an extendable bolt (11, 11'). 6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the counter-stops (20, 20', 20") are provided with a damping device (21, 21').
