Teckel (mining)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teckel on the material storage area.

In the mining industry, a Teckel is a special wagon for conveying materials, with which pit wood or other long material can be conveyed. Names factor for this type of car was a small, wooden tram that in the Ruhr mining in the mining stretches of steep-bearing coal seams for the track promotion was used.

Basics and origin of name

While the underground conveyance of bulk materials such as coal or rock is carried out with mine cars that are closed all around and only open at the top, the conveyance of material such as B. Pit expansion not so easily feasible. Although small materials can also be conveyed with ordinary trolleys, special types of trolleys must be used for materials that are longer than ordinary trolleys. In the past, wooden trolleys specially designed for this mining work were used for pit timber . Suitable for their use, these wooden driver's wagons, which were also simply called wooden wagons, had a very flat design. Up until the first half of the 20th century, particularly narrow and low-built wooden trolleys were used in the coal mining of the Ruhr area. The miners called these carts Teckel. These dachshunds were used for the extraction in the mining sections of steep seams with less thickness . The peculiarity of this dachshund was that the front sides consisted of a slide, so that these wagons could be easily emptied. However, these wagons also had major disadvantages because they could not be used for transport on the other routes. Due to this lack of property, the goods to be conveyed had to be reloaded again onto another conveyor wagon at the end of the mining section. After the reduction strengthens the mountain misalignment was used these types of cars were no longer used and thus disappeared entirely. The name Teckel was used for the wooden wagon from around the middle of the 20th century .

construction

The principle of the Teckel is similar to that of an ordinary trolley. However, Teckel do not have a car body, but only a base frame, the box girder made of steel or wood. This base frame is mounted on an ordinary wheel set . Buffers are mounted on the front sides of the box girders. The buffers are made of cast steel and can be fitted with rubber inserts to reduce noise. The carriage coupling is mounted under the buffers . At the base frame on the side edges of the top stanchions attached. For this reason, this type of car is also called a stake car. The stanchions can be constructed in different ways. There are stanchions that have an eyelet at the top. Other stanchions are made of profile steel with a shackle attached to the upper end . There are also wagons in which the stanchions have joints at the bottom so that the stanchions can be folded down when the wagon is unloaded. This means that the unloading process can be carried out more quickly. Over the years, different dachshunds have been developed that have been adapted to the promotion of the respective materials. There are also wagons on which a steel plate is mounted over the base frame, into which holes are worked, into which the stanchions can then be inserted if necessary. For particularly bulky or extra-long materials, stake wagons were used, the chassis of which are arranged so that they can pivot with respect to one another. This is particularly advantageous when cornering. Wagons with a large wheelbase of up to two meters were developed especially for the mining of brake mountains . These cars could no longer tip over as easily as cars with a smaller wheelbase.
