Processing machine and method for processing a rail track

Abstract

A processing machine for processing a rail track has a power supply unit for providing power and a processing unit which is able to be operated by the power provided by the power supply unit. The power supply unit and the processing unit are configured so as to be separate from one another. On account thereof, the processing unit is able to be operated in a spatially separated manner from the power supply unit, on account of which a user-friendly, flexible and safe processing of the rail track is enabled.

1 . A processing machine for processing a rail track, the machine comprising:
 a power supply unit for providing power; and   a processing unit to be operated by way of the power provided by said power supply unit;   said power supply unit and said processing unit being configured so as to be separate from one another.   
     
     
         2 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a supporting frame and at least one guide roller that is rotatably mounted on said supporting frame. 
     
     
         3 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a plurality of guide rollers that are disposed along a rail longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         4 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises at least one support element for supporting said power supply unit on the rail track. 
     
     
         5 . The processing machine according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one support element is able to be repositioned relative to at least one guide roller. 
     
     
         6 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises at least one handle for manually repositioning said power supply unit. 
     
     
         7 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a mounting for temporarily holding said processing unit. 
     
     
         8 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises an electric power accumulator. 
     
     
         9 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a first supporting frame, and said processing unit comprises a second supporting frame, said first and second supporting frames being configured so as to be mechanically separate from one another. 
     
     
         10 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a first handle, and said processing unit comprises a second handle, for manually repositioning independently said power supply unit and said processing unit. 
     
     
         11 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said processing unit for manually displacing on a rail of the rail track comprises a plurality of guide rollers. 
     
     
         12 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said processing unit is configured as a rail grinding unit. 
     
     
         13 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a supporting frame and at least one wheel which, for repositioning said power supply unit, is rotatably mounted on said supporting frame. 
     
     
         14 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises at least one auxiliary drive for rotatingly driving at least one of at least one guide roller and at least one wheel. 
     
     
         15 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a transport surface. 
     
     
         16 . The processing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein said power supply unit comprises a transport container. 
     
     
         17 . A method for processing a rail track, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a processing machine according to  claim 1 ; and   operating the power supply unit and the processing unit in a spatially separated manner.
