An adjustment device for a track conditioning unit has a measuring unit for determining a lateral offset of a rail, travelled on by a rail vehicle, relative to an effective range of a track conditioning unit or a measuring unit for determining the relative position of a bogie with respect to the rail car body. The adjustment device contains a determining unit for determining an actuation command for an actuation unit in accordance with the determined lateral offset between the effective range of the track conditioning unit and the rail. Part of the adjustment device for the track conditioning unit is also an actuation unit for actuating an actuator unit of the track-conditioning unit with an adjustment command which is generated on the basis of the actuation command. The actuator unit adjusts an effective range of the track conditioning unit on the basis of the adjustment command.

Controllable track conditioning unit

A rail vehicle contains a roof, a securing device, and a body. The securing device has at least a first securing unit and at least a second securing unit, and the first securing unit and the second securing unit are arranged offset relative to each other and are configured to secure the roof to the body. The first securing unit contains a fixed bearing, the fixed bearing is configured to prevent a movement of the roof relative to the body, and the second securing unit has a floating bearing, the floating bearing is configured to allow a movement of the roof in a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle and to prevent a movement of the roof perpendicularly to the vehicle longitudinal direction.

Rail vehicle

A rail vehicle has a vehicle body supported in a sprung fashion on bogies. A snow plow has two blade plates that run to a point and a plow blade arranged vertically adjustably behind the blade plates. A projecting portion of the plow blade that projects downwards beyond a lower edge of the blade plates is adjustable. The blade plates rest with their lower edge on a base plate which forms a cutting edge that protrudes from the lower edge in the direction of travel. The snow plow is attached to an under frame of the vehicle body such that the base plate maintains a safety distance from the travel rails. The safety distance is predefined by a maximum spring compression of the vehicle body. The protruding portion of the plow blade is set as a function of the safety distance and of a wear of the wheels of the bogies.
