3. PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed : -

The invention relates to a bulk material loading wagon, including a storage box which comprises a bottom conveyor belt, extending in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and having a receiving end, and is supported on a wagon frame comprising on-track undercarriages, wherein a transfer conveyor belt is associated with a discharge end of the bottom conveyor belt, the transfer conveyor belt being arranged at an angle to a bottom conveyor belt plane and projecting beyond the storage box.
A bulk material loading wagon of this type, having a bottom- and transfer conveyor belt, is already known from EP 0 429 713 Bl. In working operations, any number of like wagons may be coupled, as desired, to form a loading train.
From GB 2 303 161 it is also known to equip a loading wagon of this kind with vertically adjustable crawler tracks for mobility in track-less construction sections.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a bulk material loading wagon of the type mentioned at the beginning, the operability of which in the region of the construction site may be expanded with only small structural expense.
According to the invention, this object is achieved with a bulk material loading wagon of the specified kind in that a ballast screening installation is arranged on an upper end region, disposed opposite the bottom conveyor belt, of the storage box, the ballast screening installation including a screen, a vibration drive and, positioned outside of the storage box, an outlet for spoil.
With this auxiliary equipment which may be placed upon the storage box in a simple manner, ballast picked up from the construction site can be cleaned immediately before it is stored. In this, it is of particular advantage that the


storage capacity and transport functionality of the bulk material loading wagon are not compromised in any way. Additionally, employment of a separate screening machine becomes unnecessary, which is very advantageous particularly in short and spatially constricted construction sites.
Additional advantages of the invention become apparent from the subclaims and the drawing description.
The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to an embodiment represented in the drawing.
A bulk material loading wagon 1, shown in the drawing, has a wagon frame 2 which is supported at the ends on on-track undercarriages 3. Located between the latter are two vertically adjustable crawler tracks 5 provided with motive drives 4. Additionally, the wagon frame 2 comprises an auxiliary undercarriage 6 for on- or off-tracking the bulk material loading wagon 1, and a power unit 7 for supplying energy to all of the drives.
Arranged on the wagon frame 2 is a storage box 8, in the bottom region of which is positioned a bottom conveyor belt 9 extending in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and having a receiving end 10 and a discharge end 11. A transfer conveyor belt 13 precedes the bottom conveyor belt 9 with regard to a transporting direction 12. Said transfer conveyor belt 13 is arranged at an angle to a bottom conveyor belt plane 14 and configured to project beyond the storage box 8.
Above the receiving end 10 of the bottom conveyor belt 9, in an upper end region 15 of the storage box 8 which lies opposite the bottom conveyor belt 9, a ballast screening installation 16 is arranged. The latter comprises a screen 17, a vibration drive 18 and, positioned outside of the storage box 8, an outlet


19 for spoil. The screen 17 encloses an angle a of about 10° to 30° with the bottom conveyor belt 9. In this, a receiving end 20, provided for receiving ballast, of the ballast screening installation 16 is positioned higher than the outlet 19.
In working operations, the ballast screening installation 16 of the bulk material loading wagon 1 is charged with contaminated bedding material by an excavating machine 21. For reasons of clarity, only a discharge conveyor belt 22 of the excavating machine 21 is shown. During the cleaning of the bedding material, clean ballast is discharged into the storage box 8, and the spoil arrives at a conveyor belt 23, for example, by way of the outlet 19. The cleaned ballast may be stored in the storage box 8 or discharged again via the transfer conveyor belt 13 for creating a track bed.


WE CLAIM:
1. A bulk material loading wagon (1), including a storage box (8) which comprises a bottom conveyor belt (9), extending in the longitudinal direction of the wagon and having a receiving end (10), and is supported on a wagon frame (2) comprising on-track undercarriages (3), wherein a transfer conveyor belt (13) is associated with a discharge end (11) of the bottom conveyor belt (9), the transfer conveyor belt (13) being arranged at an angle to a bottom conveyor belt plane (14) and projecting beyond the storage box (8), characterized in that a ballast screening installation (16) is arranged on an upper end region (15), disposed opposite the bottom conveyor belt (9), of the storage box (8), the ballast screening installation (16) including a screen (17), a vibration drive (18) and, positioned outside of the storage box (8), an outlet (19) for spoil.
2. A bulk material loading wagon according to claim 1, characterized in that the ballast screening installation (16) is arranged above the receiving end (10) of the bottom conveyor belt (9).
3. A bulk material loading wagon according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the screen (17) encloses an angle a of about 10° to 30° with the bottom conveyor belt (9), wherein a receiving end (20), provided for receiving ballast, of the ballast screening installation (16) is positioned higher than the outlet (19) provided for the spoil.


4. A bulk material loading wagon according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that two vertically adjustable crawler tracks (5) are arranged between two on-track undercarriages (3) arranged at the ends.
