METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION OF RAILWAY PLATFORMS IN CARGO-STATUS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B60P3/06 B61D3/18 B61D45/00 B61D47/00 B65G67/00 

FIELD: railway transport.

SUBSTANCE: method of cargo-status transportation of railway platforms consists in the transportation of railway platforms on railway platforms in the status of cargo. Railway platforms in the status of cargo are preliminarily placed on the lower railway platforms in two and/or three tiers and connected to each other by means of coupling devices of the railway platforms themselves in the status of cargo and secured with brake shoes, lanyards and standard parking brake devices of the railway platforms themselves in the status of cargo, which are brought to the parking position. Loading/unloading of railway platforms in the status of cargo is carried out by rolling/rolling out the latter along the rails of the loading and unloading railway track and the rails contained in the structure of the railway platforms, which are fixed and held in the required position by means of a railway dead end with an automatic coupling device. The device for implementing the method comprises a railway platform containing railroad rails located parallel to the rails of the railway bed and strictly above them and made as fixed equipment with holes at the ends coinciding with the holes in the steel plates. The rail heads do not protrude above the level of the platform deck. Close to the railway platform on a straight section of the railway track, a railway siding with an automatic coupling device for fixing and holding the platform in the required position is installed.

EFFECT: reduced empty run of railway platforms, increased efficiency of the use of railway platforms, increased service life of wheelsets and railway platforms.
