Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rail transit technology, and more specifically, to a rail fastening assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Rail fasteners are widely used in railway and urban rail systems. One of their core functional components is the pressure plate assembly with an elastic pressure tongue, used to clamp the rail and provide frictional resistance. The traditional technical solution commonly used in the industry is the "vulcanized rubber pressure tongue - adhesive fixing" method. The specific implementation of this method is as follows: First, natural or synthetic rubber is molded into pressure tongues with a specific cross-sectional shape through a high-temperature vulcanization process, giving it the necessary elasticity, damping, and wear resistance. The upper pressure plate, as the load-bearing component, undergoes overall hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing treatment to achieve long-term corrosion protection. Subsequently, to address the problem of insufficient adhesion between the rubber and the smooth galvanized metal surface, the zinc layer is locally removed from the pre-designated pressure tongue installation area on the upper pressure plate using laser etching, grinding, or chemical methods to expose the metal substrate, forming a roughened bonding surface. Finally, a high-strength, high-elasticity specialized polyurethane or epoxy structural adhesive is used to permanently adhere the vulcanized rubber pressure tongue to this area, which then cures to form a unified whole.
[0003] This technical solution, after years of development, offers the advantage of providing a stable and reliable coefficient of friction and cushioning effect through vulcanized rubber pressure tongues, while the overall structure meets basic fastening requirements in its initial state. However, as rail transit evolves towards higher speeds, larger capacities, and lower maintenance costs, the inherent limitations of this traditional technical approach are becoming increasingly apparent. Particularly in terms of the fixing method, its complete reliance on the reliability of chemical bonding has become a key bottleneck restricting overall product performance, production costs, and maintenance efficiency. Aging, contamination, or stress concentration at any adhesive interface can lead to pressure tongue detachment, posing safety hazards. Furthermore, the multiple auxiliary processes required to achieve reliable bonding directly increase manufacturing costs and introduce secondary problems related to environmental protection and corrosion prevention.
[0004] Therefore, exploring a new solution for fixing the pressure tongue that does not rely on chemical adhesives, has a simpler structure, and is easier to maintain has become an important direction for technological upgrading in this field. For example, CN213708988U discloses a rigid-flexible track fixing connection device, including a base plate, a top cover plate, a fixing nut, and a washer. The base plate is fixed to a screw rod, and the front end of the top cover plate is provided with a pressure tongue. The pressure tongue has a pre-drilled vertical bolt hole. An adjustable screw rod passes through the vertical bolt hole of the pressure tongue and presses against the track to pre-tighten and fix the track. The lower end of the adjustable screw rod is a steel block, and the upper end is a nut to adjust the height of the lower end of the screw rod. The top cover plate is provided with an elongated hole, and a T-bolt passes through the fixing hole of the base plate. The T-bolt slides into the slot. The upper part is the top cover plate, and a flat washer, a spring washer, and a nut are placed in sequence. Although this technical solution uses bolted connections instead of adhesive bonding, directly connecting the rubber material pressure tongue with bolts requires, on the one hand, the need to pre-embed metal connectors in the pressure tongue, which also makes the process cumbersome; on the other hand, simply using bolted connections is prone to problems such as detachment and breakage due to insufficient structural strength and uneven stress, leading to fastener failure.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Example 1 This embodiment provides a track fastening assembly, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it mainly consists of a pressure plate 1 and a pressure tongue 2. The pressure plate 1 is a one-piece metal plate structure, which includes a base connecting part 11 for connecting with the base and a pressure tongue mounting part 12 for pressing with the rail. Both the base connecting part 11 and the pressure tongue mounting part 12 are block structures, and the pressure tongue mounting part 12 is integrally formed on the side of the base connecting part 11.
[0033] The pressure tongue 2 is an elastic structure formed from an elastic material, such as EVA or rubber. The pressure tongue 2 mainly includes a sleeve portion 21 and a pressing portion 22. The sleeve portion 21 has a receiving cavity 211, which is used to fit into the pressure tongue mounting portion 12. The volume of the receiving cavity 211 is smaller than the volume of the portion of the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 that is fitted, so that after the sleeve portion 21 is fitted onto the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 through the receiving cavity 211, the pressure tongue 2 is tightly connected to the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 by its own elasticity. The structure of the sleeve portion 21 can be a C-shaped structure with an opening on one side, or a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. This embodiment uses a C-shaped structure of the sleeve portion 21 as an example, essentially wrapping around the end of the pressure tongue mounting portion 12. The pressing portion 22 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the sleeve portion 21, and the lower surface of the pressing portion 22 is used for tight contact with the track.
[0034] The base 3 serves as a structural component for mounting the pressure plate 1. After the pressure plate 1 is connected to the base 3, the base 3 is securely connected to the foundation or other structural components, so that the pressing part 22 of the pressure tongue 2, which is sleeved on the pressure tongue connecting part 12, is pressed into contact with the track.
[0035] The track fastening assembly provided in this embodiment adopts a sleeve structure for the pressure tongue and pressure plate, which is simple in structure and convenient in maintenance. It fundamentally solves the problems of complicated process, local corrosion and complicated pressure tongue replacement caused by the adhesive bonding process. Moreover, the overall force is uniform, avoiding the problems caused by bolt connection, such as the need to embed metal connectors in the rubber block and uneven force that is easy to damage. It effectively improves the fastening effect of the track.
[0036] Example 2 This embodiment 2 is formed based on embodiment 1. By forming a locking protrusion on the pressure plate and a matching locking groove on the pressure tongue, a mechanical interlocking structure is created. This not only improves the connection strength between the pressure plate and the pressure tongue but also forms a structure where the pressing part is embedded with a rigid support member. This effectively improves the overall structural strength and rigidity of the pressing part, and has advantages such as controlling the deformation range and guiding the direction of force transmission. The rigidity can be adjusted according to the vibration characteristics of the track, optimizing dynamic characteristics. Specifically: like Figure 4-8 As shown, a latching protrusion 121 is formed on the lower surface of the plate of the tongue mounting part 12, and the latching protrusion 121 includes a first latching block 1211. The first latching block 1211 is preferably a wedge-shaped or right-angled trapezoidal structure with a forward-inclined surface 12110. The forward-inclined surface 12110 refers to an inclined surface that gradually rises from the front end of the tongue mounting part 12 toward the rear end where the tongue mounting part 12 connects to the base connecting part 11. This forward-inclined surface 12110 allows the tongue 2 to be smoothly engaged with the tongue mounting part 12, reducing physical damage to the elastic material of the tongue 2. Correspondingly, a latching groove 221 is formed in the pressing part 22, and the latching groove 221 is connected to the receiving cavity 211. The number, shape, and position of the latching groove 221 are adapted to the number, shape, and position of the latching protrusions 121 on the tongue mounting part 12. After the pressure tongue mounting part 12 is sleeved onto the pressure tongue 2, the first locking block 1211 is correspondingly locked into the locking groove 221. In this embodiment, through the locking engagement of the locking protrusion and the locking groove, mechanical interlocking can be achieved on the basis of the sleeve connection between the pressure plate and the pressure tongue, ensuring the strength of the connection structure and preventing the pressure tongue from shifting due to vibration, which could lead to pressing failure. At the same time, the locking protrusion of the rigid support body embedded in the locking groove is equivalent to the metal skeleton of the pressing part, which improves the structural strength and rigidity of the pressing part. Under vibration and pressure, the rigid support can not only effectively prevent the pressing part from tearing or failing due to excessive deformation, but also transmit most of the vibration force, guiding the vibration force to be transmitted and absorbed in a direction that is basically perpendicular to the pressure plate, avoiding off-center loading or torsion under complex stress.
[0037] The number of latch protrusions 121 on the lower surface of the plate of the tongue mounting part 12 is at least one. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple protrusions 121 arranged side by side with intervals. When multiple protrusions 121 are arranged side by side, their number and spacing can be adjusted according to the vibration characteristics of the track. For example, the more protrusions 121 there are and the smaller the spacing, the higher the overall stiffness of the pressing part, which is suitable for high-frequency, small-amplitude vibration. Conversely, the stiffness is low and the flexibility is better, which is suitable for low-frequency, large-displacement environments. This allows for adjustment of the overall system stiffness, balancing the needs of soft vibration damping and structural stability.
[0038] Example 3 This embodiment 3 is formed based on embodiment 2. By optimizing the latch protrusion into a structure of two latch blocks spaced back and forth, forming a structure similar to the outline of a high heel, the connection strength between the pressure tongue and the pressure plate, as well as the structural strength and rigidity of the pressing part, are further improved, thus enhancing the fastening effect on the track. Specifically: like Figure 5 As shown, the latch 121 also includes a second latching block 1212, which is spaced apart from the first latching block 1211. The term "spaced apart" refers to its arrangement along the front end of the latch mounting portion 12 towards the rear end where the latch mounting portion 12 connects to the base connection portion 11. Figure 6 As shown, the second locking block 1212 preferably has a wedge-shaped structure, while the first locking block 1211 is approximately a right-angled trapezoid. The inclined surface of the second locking block 1212 is adjacent to the right-angled surface of the first locking block 1211. The height of the second locking block 1212 is not lower than the height of the first locking block 1211 to improve the connection strength between the pressure tongue and the pressure tongue connection part. At this time, the locking groove 221 is also a structure groove with two intervals, which are adapted to the first locking block 1211 and the second locking block 1212 respectively. In this structure, the second locking block, as the heel part, can form a reliable locking hook, and the first locking block, as the sole part, forms a locking structure while forming a gentle guide slope. The cooperation of the two can further improve the connection strength between the pressure tongue and the pressure plate, as well as the structural strength and rigidity of the pressing part.
[0039] Example 4 This embodiment is based on embodiment 3, optimizing the pressing surface of the pressure tongue into a wave-like shape, and increasing the height of the arc-shaped convex surface near the base connection. This creates a dual-damping and fastening surface that combines rigidity and flexibility, allowing the pressure plate assembly to quickly attenuate and transmit high-frequency amplitudes while effectively absorbing low-frequency amplitudes. This effectively reduces fatigue damage caused by vibration, lowers maintenance costs, and improves the pressure plate assembly's clamping effect on the track. Specifically: like Figure 6-7 As shown, the portion of the slot 221 used to accommodate the first card block 1211 protrudes outward to form a first arc-shaped convex surface 2211, which is a strip-shaped arc-shaped surface formed along the left and right sides of the pressure tongue mounting portion 12. The portion of the slot 221 used to accommodate the second card block 1212 protrudes outward to form a second arc-shaped convex surface 2212, which is arranged parallel to the first arc-shaped convex surface 2211 at intervals. The surface height of the first arc-shaped convex surface 2211 is lower than the surface height of the second arc-shaped convex surface 2212, and the two arc-shaped convex surfaces are connected by an arc-shaped concave surface.
[0040] When the pressing part 22 is in tight contact with the track, the second arc-shaped convex surface 2212 is compressed to a greater extent after contact with the track. Both the second locking block 1212 and the compressed second arc-shaped convex surface 2212 have high rigidity and are close to the base connection part 11, enabling them to quickly absorb and transmit vibration force, and significantly attenuate high-frequency, small-amplitude vibration force. However, the first arc-shaped convex surface 2211, after contacting the track, is compressed to a relatively smaller extent because its surface is lower than the second arc-shaped convex surface 2212. This results in relatively lower rigidity for both the first locking block 1211 and the compressed first arc-shaped convex surface 2211. Compared to the second locking block 1212 and the compressed second arc-shaped convex surface 2212, its flexibility significantly enhances the absorption of low-frequency, high-energy vibrations.
[0041] Example 5 This embodiment 5 is formed based on any one of embodiments 1-4. By optimizing the structural design of the pressure plate, the overall structural strength of the pressure plate is improved, the absorption and transmission effect of vibration force is enhanced, and the adverse effects of vibration force on fasteners, such as loosening, are reduced. Specifically: like Figure 1-8 As shown, the main body of the base connecting part 11 is provided with bolt mounting holes 111. The bolt mounting holes 111 have a racetrack-shaped structure, meaning that the two ends are semi-circular holes and the middle is a rectangular hole. One end of the bolt mounting hole 111 is designated as the bolt entry end 1111. The rectangular pressure tongue mounting part 12 and the bolt mounting hole 111 are arranged in a V-shape, with the bolt entry end 1111 positioned close to the pressure tongue mounting part 12. By changing the parallel position relationship between the bolt hole and the pressure tongue part to an angled V-shape, and with the bolt entry end close to the pressure tongue part of the pressure plate, the connection position of the bolt used to fasten the pressure plate to the base will be at a predetermined distance from the bolt entry end to the other end, such as the middle or near the root. At this time, the distance between the fastening bolt and the pressure tongue mounting part 12 will be increased by the V-shape, thereby increasing the path of vibration force to the fastening bolt, thus reducing the adverse effect of vibration force on the loosening of the fastener and improving the fastening effect.
[0042] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 is higher than the upper surface of the base connecting portion 11, and a guide portion 122 with progressively thinner thickness extends from the rear end of the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 toward the upper surface of the base connecting portion 11. The guide portion 122 not only improves the overall structural strength of the pressure plate 1, but also guides the absorbed vibration force. Furthermore, the guide portion 122 has a triangular structure, and in this embodiment, the guide portion 122 is a right-angled triangle. The guide portion 122 is arranged such that its inclined surface is opposite to the bolt mounting hole 111, i.e., refer to the attached figure. Figure 5As shown, the inclined surface of the guide portion 122 is substantially parallel to the bolt mounting hole 111, and the two corner ends of the guide portion 122 are located near both ends of the bolt mounting hole 111. This structural design allows the guide portion 122 to transmit vibrational force to the outer side of the other end of the bolt mounting hole 111, reducing the vibrational force at the bolt fastening connection in the middle of the bolt mounting hole 111, and further reducing the loosening effect of vibration-induced fasteners.
[0043] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 1221 is provided on the outer side of the guide portion 122. The reinforcing rib 1221 is used to further improve the connection strength between the pressure tongue mounting portion 12 and the base connecting portion 11, and enhance the structural stability of the pressure plate 1. Preferably, the angle between the upper surface 12210 of the reinforcing rib 1221 and the upper surface of the base connecting portion 11 is 30 to 45°, preferably 45°.
[0044] Example 6 This embodiment is formed based on any one of embodiments 1-5. By optimizing the connection structure between the pressure plate and the base into a limiting structure, the relative displacement between the pressure plate and the base caused by vibration is reduced, thereby improving the fastening effect on the track. Specifically: like Figure 1-9 As shown, a first groove 112 is provided on the lower surface of the base connecting part 11. The first groove 112 is an open structure at both ends. The first groove 112 and the bolt mounting hole 111 are arranged parallel to each other and are connected. The bolt mounting hole 111 is located between the two arms of the first groove 112. Preferably, the bolt mounting hole 111 is close to the outer arm 113 of the first groove 112. Here, the outer wall refers to the side away from the pressure tongue mounting part 12. The base 3 is provided with a bolt mounting groove 31, which is a horizontal U-shaped groove extending from one side of the base 3 to the other side and connecting the upper and lower surfaces. After the base connecting part 11 is placed on the base 3, part or all of the main body of the base 3 is confined within the first groove 112. Here, the main body of the base 3 refers to the structure extending from the lower surface of the base 3 to the upper surface. The main body of the base 3 that engages with the first groove 112 is called the interlocking part 33. At the same time, the bolt mounting hole 111 and the bolt mounting groove 31 are arranged vertically and intersect to form an X-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 1 and the base 3 are fastened together by fasteners 4, which mainly include bolts 41 and nuts 42. After the fastening bolts 41 pass through the bolt mounting holes 111 and bolt mounting grooves 31 to fasten the pressure plate 1 to the base 3, the limiting fit between the first sliding groove 112 and the interlocking part 33, as well as the cross arrangement of the bolt mounting grooves 31 and the bolt mounting holes 111, will form an X-shaped restriction on the bolts 41, reducing the risk of displacement and loosening of the fasteners due to vibration.
[0045] Furthermore, a second groove 32 is formed near the outer side of the base 3, and the second groove 32 is arranged parallel to the first groove 112. After the pressure plate connecting part 11 is connected to the base 3, the outer side wall 113 is confined within the second groove 32, and the fitting part 33 located inside the second groove 32 is confined within the first groove 112, further improving the fastening effect after the base 3 and the pressure plate 1 are connected.
[0046] Example 7 This embodiment 7 is formed based on embodiment 6, optimizing the contact surface between the pressure plate and the base into a wedge-shaped structure. By improving the alignment between the surfaces, it further offsets and reduces the adverse effects of vibration on the pressure plate's displacement, ensuring a tighter clamping effect on the track. Specifically: like Figure 10-12 As shown, the first groove 112 is a wedge-shaped groove structure whose thickness gradually decreases from the bolt entry end 1111 to the other end of the bolt mounting hole 111 opposite to the bolt entry end 1111. Correspondingly, the fitting part 33 is a wedge-shaped block structure whose thickness gradually decreases from one end to the other. When the base connecting part 11 is connected to the base 3, the fitting part 33 is engaged in the first groove 112. At this time, the thin end 33a of the fitting part 33 is located on the side of the thick end 112b of the first groove 112, and the thin end 112a of the first groove 112 is located on the side of the thick end 33b of the fitting part 33. Here, the thin end and the thick end of the fitting part 33 are named according to their thickness, and similarly, the thin end and the thick end of the first groove 112 are also named according to their thickness.
[0047] Furthermore, the outer wall 113 is a wedge-shaped block structure whose thickness gradually decreases from the bolt entry end 1111 towards the bolt mounting hole 111 opposite to the bolt entry end 1111. Correspondingly, the second groove 32 is a wedge-shaped groove whose depth gradually decreases from one end to the other. When the outer wall 113 is engaged in the second groove 32, the thick end 113b of the outer wall 113 is located on the side of the thin end 32a of the second groove 32, and the thin end 113a of the outer wall 113 is located on the side of the thick end 32b of the first groove 32. As mentioned above, the names of the thin end and the thick end are also based on the thickness of the two ends.
