Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device for transferring an infrastructure component pre-positioned on a ground, particularly a track support plate, into a target arrangement, comprises a connecting means for fastening the device to a mating connecting means of the infrastructure component, a ground contact means for support on the ground, an actuating device for absorbing a first rotational movement about a first axis of rotation, and a transmission device for converting the first rotational movement into a first transferring movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component with a translatory movement component orientated perpendicular to a first axis of rotation. A combination and a system comprising at least one such device. A method for transferring an infrastructure component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A device for transferring an infrastructure component pre-positioned on a ground, particularly a track support plate, into a target arrangement having, a connecting means for fastening the device to a mating connecting means of the infrastructure component, a ground contact means for support on the ground, and an actuating device for absorbing a first rotary movement about a first axis of rotation, wherein a transmission device for converting the first rotary movement into a first transferring movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component with a translatory movement component orientated perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. 2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission device is designed to provide at least two linearly independent movement components of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component. 3 . The A device according to claim 1 , wherein an eccentric arrangement of the ground contact means relative to the first axis of rotation. 4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating device is designed to absorb a second rotary movement about a second axis of rotation. 5 . The device according to claim 4 , wherein the transmission device is designed to convert the second rotary movement into a second transferring movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component with a translatory movement component oriented parallel to the second axis of rotation. 6 . The device according to claim 4 , the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are arranged coaxially to each another. 7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting means has an external thread for producing a threaded connection with the mating connecting means of the infrastructure component. 8 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the device is designed for reversibly passing through the infrastructure component with the ground contact means along a central longitudinal axis of the threaded connection. 9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting means is designed for reversible fastening of the device to the infrastructure component. 10 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating device has a drive interface for actuation with a spanner and/or wherein the device has a traction motor which is connected to the actuating device in a torque-transmitting manner. 11 . A combination, device comprising: at least one device according to claim 1 , and a measuring device for recording the arrangement of the infrastructure component. 12 . A system, having at least one device according to claim 1 , further comprising an infrastructure component with at least one mating connecting means, to which the connecting means of the at least one device is fastened. 13 . The system according to claim 12 , wherein the infrastructure component is a track support plate. 14 . The system according to claim 12 , characterized by wherein at least three of the devices. 15 . The system according to claim 12 , wherein the first axis of rotation and/or the second axis of rotation are oriented perpendicular to a main extension plane of the infrastructure component. 16 . A method for transferring an infrastructure component, particularly a track support plate, into a target arrangement, including the steps: 16.1 Providing an infrastructure component which is supported on a ground via at least one ground contact means, 16.2 Converting a first rotary movement about a first axis of rotation into a first transferring movement of the ground contact means relative to the infrastructure component with a translatory movement component orientated perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. 17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein lifting the at least one ground contact means from the ground and changing the alignment of the ground contact means out of contact with the ground about the first axis of rotation, relative to the infrastructure component. 18 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein fixing the infrastructure component to the ground by casting with a filler. 19 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein removing the at least one ground contact means from the infrastructure component after fixing. 20 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein automated transferring of the infrastructure component relative to the ground into the target arrangement.
