Abstract: A freight car classificaton system at a level classification yard is disclosed which may automatically classify and reclassify the cars to make up a new train. A freight car mover is installed along a receiving track and also along each of several classification tracks for pushing or retarding the cars to a predetermined speed. A group of freight car accelerator-retarders installed along the receiving track is adapted to accelerate or retard the cars at a predetermined speed. Groups of freight car accelerator-retarders installed along the classification tracks are also adapted to accelerate or retard the cars to a higher predetermined speed. An automatic decoupling unit is installed at a suitable position near the first group of accelerator-retarders along the receiving track so that any specific coupling between the cars may be automatically decoupled or disconnected as the cars move. The cars on the receiving track are sequentially pushed to a predetermined speed to the desired classification track and coupled to other freight cars at a predetermined speed. The classified cars on the classification tracks may then be automatically reclassified onto the receiving track to make up a new train.

Abstract translation: 公开了一个级别分类场的货车分类系统，可以自动对汽车进行分类和重新分类，构成新的列车。 货运车移动器沿着接收轨道安装，并且还沿着几个分类轨道中的每一个安装，用于将轿厢推动或延迟到预定速度。 沿着接收轨道安装的一组货车加速器减速器适于以预定速度加速或延迟轿厢。 沿着分类轨迹安装的货车加速器减速器组也适用于将轿厢加速或延迟到更高的预定速度。 自动解耦单元沿着接收轨道安装在第一组加速器延迟器附近的合适位置处，使得当轿厢移动时，轿厢之间的任何特定联接可以自动地解耦或断开。 接收轨道上的轿厢依次按预定的速度推到所需的分类轨道，并以预定的速度与其他货车相连。 然后可以将分类轨道上的分类车辆自动重新分类到接收轨道上以构成新的列车。
