METHOD FOR LOADING LOOSE BULKY GOODS INTO A GONDOLA CAR USING A FLEXIBLE INSERT, AND AN AUXILIARY FRAME FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

摘要

The invention proposes an auxiliary frame (Fig. 1) for loading loose bulky goods into a gondola car using a flexible insert (Fig. 4) provided with loading chutes (2) on its top part, the method including the following: loading chutes are fixed to the auxiliary frame (Fig. 1) on a platform outside the car, after which the auxiliary frame (Fig. 1) together with the flexible insert (Fig. 4) attached to it through at least the loading chutes (2) is installed on sides of a gondola car body (11), the flexible insert (Fig. 4) being placed inside the gondola car body (11); bulky goods are charged inside the flexible insert (Fig. 4) through loading chutes (2), after which the loading chutes (2) are detached from the auxiliary frame (Fig. 1), then the auxiliary frame (1) is removed from the gondola car body (11), and the loading chutes (2) are tightly closed. The auxiliary frame (Fig. 1) comprises a support frame (3) of a rectangular shape having a distance between its longitudinal bars corresponding to the distance between longitudinal sides of the gondola car body (11); loading necks the number of which corresponds to the number of loading chutes (2) of the flexible insert (Fig. 4), the loading necks being mounted on the support frame (3) in one row along its central longitudinal axis by means of supporting elements, the distances between vertical axes of the loading necks corresponding to distances between vertical axes of the loading chutes (2) of the flexible insert (Fig. 4); and fixing elements (6) arranged on the support part to prevent its shifting relative to the sides of the gondola car body (11), respectively. The invention allows an increase in labour productiveness, reduction of costs of the loading work, and reduction of loading downtime of gondola cars.
