    Method and machine for stuffing a track in the area of a switch
    TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a method for tamping a track in the area of a switch by means of a tamping machine which can be moved on the track, a first branch being brought into a desired position and tamped in a first working pass, after which the tamping machine moves backwards until it reaches a branch point takes place and a second branch is brought into a desired position and stuffed in a second pass. The invention also relates to a tamping machine for performing the method.
    PRIOR ART [02] Track-moving tamping machines for tamping track sections and switch sections have been known for a long time. For example, EP 1 143 069 A1 discloses such a machine. This includes a lifting / straightening unit for leveling and straightening a main track (main track) and an additional lifting device for lifting a branch track branching off from the main track (branch line of a switch). In a first work cycle, while the main track is being driven on, the branch track in the effective area of the additional lifting device is lifted, with a common measuring system ensuring a controlled lifting of the switch.
    [03] In this way, the actual position of the branch track in the area of the switch is changed, and any measurement that may have been carried out beforehand can no longer be used to provide specifications for lifting or straightening and stuffing the further branch track. Before a second work cycle, in which the branch track is driven on and tamped with, the result of the first work cycle must be measured manually according to the prior art.

    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is based on the objects of specifying improvements over the prior art for a method and a tamping machine of the type mentioned at the outset.
    [05] According to the invention, these objects are achieved by the combinations of features of independent claims 1 and 7. Advantageous further developments of the invention result from the dependent claims.
    [06] In the process, an actual position of the second branch is recorded by means of a sensor arrangement during the backward travel, in particular with respect to the position of the first branch, and correction values for the position of the second branch are calculated on the basis of this recorded actual position. The backward travel, which is necessary anyway, is used in this way to determine the changed position of the second branch in the course of the first work cycle. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual intermediate measurements before the second work cycle can begin. The first branch is the track that is lifted and straightened during the first work cycle, regardless of whether it is a main track or a branch track.
    [07] The actual position of the second branch is advantageously recorded in a detection area that goes beyond a point end. The last continuous common threshold of the main track and the branch track is usually specified as the switch end. The entire area in which the second branch has a new position after the first work cycle is thus recorded during the reverse travel.
    [08] A further improvement provides that a reference plane defined by the position of the first branch is specified and that correction values for the position of the second branch are calculated as deviations from this reference plane. In this way, the second branch is corrected in the second work step with respect to the already branched first branch. As an alternative to this, the correction of the second branch can also take place with respect to another predetermined target position.

    [09] To record the actual position, surface contours of the two branches are advantageously recorded by means of the sensor arrangement. Using the surface contours of the rails in particular, the actual positions of the track axes can be calculated in a simple manner and the correction values can subsequently be specified.
    It is advantageous if the surface contours are recorded as a point cloud and evaluated by means of a computing unit. Powerful algorithms are known for processing the relevant data, which enable the track axes to be determined quickly and precisely. In addition, filter methods can be used to reduce the amount of data. For example, only the surface points of the rails are processed. With known algorithms, imaging errors, distortion errors or other detection errors are also reliably recognized and eliminated.
    [11] A development of the method provides that the calculated correction values are transmitted to a so-called control computer of the tamping machine. The control computer is an arithmetic unit for carrying out a track position correction, the tamping machine being guided according to a predetermined target geometry of the track. The control computer specifies the corresponding parameters to the control devices of the tamping machine.
    [00] According to the invention, a sensor device is arranged on a tamping machine for performing one of the aforementioned methods, which is set up to detect the actual position of the second branch during a reverse drive. The sensor device thus comprises sensors that cover a corresponding detection area on both sides of the tamping machine.
    It is advantageous if the sensor device comprises a laser scanner. Such laser scanners provide sufficiently accurate data for precise track position correction and cover a wide range of the tamping machine environment.
    [14] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the sensor device comprises a light section sensor. This enables a targeted detection of the rail profiles with a high degree of accuracy.

    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [16] The invention is explained below by way of example with reference to the accompanying figures. In a schematic representation:
    Fig. 1 tamping machine in a side view Fig. 2 switch section in a plan
    Fig. 3 cross-section of a main track and a branch track
    DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS [17] The tamping machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be moved on a track 3 by means of driven rail carriages 2. The track 3 comprises sleepers 4 which, with the rails 5 fastened thereon, form a track grating which is mounted in a ballast bed 6. A switch 7 branches the track 3 into two branches 8, 9. In the case of a simple switch according to FIG. 2, these are a main track and a branch track. A distinction is also made between curved switches, double switches and crossing switches. Special methods and special turnout tamping machines are used to correct the position of such turnout sections.
    [18] To carry out a track position correction, the tamping machine 1 comprises a tamping unit 10, a lifting device 11 and a measuring device 12 with measuring carriages 13 and measuring chords 14. The measuring chords 14 are, for example, tensioned steel chords or optical chords between light-emitting elements and Light sensors run. In addition to a main lifting device 15, the lifting reporting device 11 has two additional lifting reporting devices 16 which can be extended laterally. By means of the respective additional lifting reporting device 16, a branch 9 is raised and directed until a maximum lateral processing limit 17 is reached.

    5/11 • · · ·· • · · · * • · · ·· • · · ·· • · · · · [19] In working direction 18, a sensor arrangement 19 is attached to the front face. This includes a laser scanner 20 and / or a light section sensor 21 and an evaluation device 22 for calculating a point cloud. Additional information can be recorded by means of a camera 23. For example, the point cloud can be supplemented with color information.
    [20] A turnout section to be machined with a simple turnout 7 comprises a turnout heart 24, turnout tongues 25 and wheel guide 26 as well as a turnout start 27 and two turnout ends 28. The main track and the branch track have continuous sleepers 4 up to the turnout ends 28, so that lifting or straightening one branch inevitably also affects the other branch.
    When the track position is corrected in the switch section, the first branch 8 is first brought into a predetermined desired position in a first work cycle. The lifting and reporting device 11 lifts and straightens the track grate, with the measuring device 12 continuously recording the current track position and comparing it with the predetermined target position. When the desired position is reached, the position of the track grate is stabilized by compressing the ballast bed 6 by means of the tamping unit 10.
    [22] The tamping machine 1 is guided with a so-called control computer 29 in accordance with a known target geometry of the track 3. Alternatively, there is also the possibility of guiding the tamping machine 1 with an unknown target geometry. For this purpose, a measurement run is carried out with the tamping machine 1 before the track position correction and the desired position is determined with corresponding correction values from the measured actual position of the track 3 by means of electronic arrow height compensation.
    [23] The sensor arrangement 19 is set up according to the invention in such a way that the actual position of the second branch 9 is detected during a backward travel of the tamping machine 1 to before a branch point. Since the tamping machine 1 travels the first branch 8, this forms the reference basis for the actual position detection of the second branch 9. Correction values 30, 31, 32 for the position of the second branch 9 are calculated therefrom. The position detection of the second branch 9 takes place in a detection area 33 in which the actual position of the second branch 9/14 is during the first work cycle
    1808
    • · · · · · · · · ·· · · · · · · · · · · · 6/11 has been changed. This detection area 33 extends at least beyond the machining limit 17 and advantageously beyond the switch end 28. The larger detection area 33 allows a reliable detection of the entire section of the second branch 9 that was changed during the first work cycle.
    [24] The laser scanner 20 is advantageously arranged on the front end of the tamping machine 1 in the center in the upper area, so that a wide area is detected on both sides of the tamping machine 1. A laser beam rotating about a longitudinal axis of the tamping machine 1 sweeps over the surface of the track 3 and its surroundings, with a distance to the illuminated surface point being measured at clocked intervals. This creates a grid-like detection of the surface. Specifically, a cross-section of the track and its surroundings are measured with each revolution of the laser beam, with a helical series of measuring points taking place during forward or backward travel. The sum of all measuring points provides a point cloud of the track and its surroundings.
    [25] As an alternative or in addition, light section sensors 21 are arranged above each rail. These also send out laser beams and measure the distance to an illuminated surface point using a detector based on the principle of triangulation. Here, too, the result is a point cloud of the track and its surroundings. Sensor fusion results in a combination of all measurement data using a plurality of sensors 20, 21, 23 by means of the evaluation device 22. The resulting point cloud contains precise position information and possibly color information of the surface points of the track 3 and its surroundings.
    [26] As a common reference system, an orthogonal coordinate system x, y, z following the course of the track is advantageously specified (FIG. 3). The coordinate origin is preferably on the so-called track axis 34 (track center), which runs on half the track width between the two rails 5. The x-axis of the coordinate system points in the direction of travel, the y-axis in the cross-track direction. Give the values of the z-axis

    1808 • · · · · · · · · · · · 7/11 • · · · · • · · · · • · · · · • · · · · · then height deviations of the recorded surface points with respect to the xy plane.
    [27] In addition to the position detection with respect to the coordinate system, the distance s to a reference point defined along the track is continuously recorded (kilometering) using an odometer, for example. As an alternative or in addition, a GNSS device can be used to determine the current measurement position. The y coordinates and z coordinates relevant to the track position are thus assigned to a precise position on track 3. The same applies if a fixed or inertial coordinate system is specified as a common reference system.
    [28] Usually, the recorded point cloud is initially related to another coordinate system that is moved, for example, with the sensor device 19. For a coordinate transformation, the position of the track axis 34 is first calculated from coordinates of the surface points 35 on the inner edges of the rails 5 of the track 3 being traveled on. These surface points 35 are determined using known methods of pattern recognition. The coordinates of all points or a previously filtered point set of the point cloud are subsequently transformed to the coordinate system x, y, z following the course of the track. The transformation process is preferably carried out in a computing unit 36 of the tamping machine 1, in which software for pattern recognition and coordinate transformation is set up.
    In this way, the surface points of the second branch 9 with respect to the first branch 8 are recorded during the backward travel of the tamping machine 1 after the first work pass. In a next method step, the software set up in the computing unit 36 determines the coordinates of the surface points 35 on the inner edges of the rails 5 of the second branch 9 and the corresponding track axis 34. This is done by means of pattern recognition and, if appropriate, by interpolation if no detected surface point can be assigned to the respective rail inner edge is.
    [30] On the basis of this data, the rich unit 36 calculates correction values 30, 31, 32 for the two rails 5 and

    8/11 the track axis 34 as a function of the distance s along the second branch 9. Specifically, all relevant points of the point cloud along the two branches 8, 9 are used for the calculation of the correction values 30, 31, 32. It is irrelevant that during the measurement by means of the laser scanner 20 a transverse profile of the track 3 detected on the first branch 8 results in an oblique profile of the track 3 for the second branch 9. As soon as all the scanned surface profiles have been combined to form the spatial point cloud, the entire actual geometry of the two branches 8, 9 recorded is known in a common reference system.
    [31] Usually the second branch 9 is raised to the level of the first branch 8 which has already been processed. The correction values are therefore easy to determine because the first branch is specified as the reference system for the acquisition of the point cloud. In the simplest case, a reference plane 37 predetermined by the position of the first branch 8 is determined, and deviations from this reference plane 37 are calculated as correction values 30, 31, 32. In other words, the correction values 30, 31, 32 correspond to the detected deviations in the direction of the z axis. If the predetermined target position of the first branch 8 was not reached in the first work cycle, this target position which has not been reached is used as the reference system for calculating the correction values 30, 31, 32. There is therefore no error propagation.
    [32] If, in exceptional cases, separate longitudinal inclinations are specified for the second branch 9, a correspondingly adapted calculation of the correction values 30, 31, 32 takes place. As soon as the tamping machine 1 on the second branch 9 reaches an area which has not been influenced by the first work cycle , the correction work will continue as usual. This transition can be recognized by the fact that the actual position of the second branch 9 detected during the backward movement coincides with a previously measured actual position at the corresponding track point.
    [33] After the correction values 30, 31, 32 have been transferred to the control computer 29, the latter calculates the working and adjustment parameters which are required for guiding the tamping machine 1. Alternatively, the actual position of the second strand 9, in particular as a course of arrow heights, can be sent to the control computer 29

    9/11 are transmitted. The correction values 30, 31, 32 are then calculated by means of the control computer 29 by means of a comparison with a stored target position of the corresponding track section. During the work cycles, the measuring device 12 is used to ensure that the specified corrections are achieved.
