Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rail transit, and in particular to an electric segmentation device at a single turnout. Background Art

[0002] Turnouts are special track equipment that not only affect the safety of train operation, but also have a shorter service life than other equipment, and require a lot of on-site maintenance and repair work. The most commonly used single-opening turnout in my country has a straight main line and a side line that branches off to the left or right from the main line, also known as left-opening turnouts and right-opening turnouts, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of all types of turnouts.

[0003] The electric sectioning device of the overhead contact network of the electrified railway is a structure with the middle insulating rod as the main supporting force-bearing member, and the attached four metal slides as the guide rails for the locomotive pantograph to pass smoothly. The air gap formed by the insulating rod and the slide rail is to achieve the purpose of electrical isolation of the live parts at both ends of the section insulator. With the increase of altitude, both the air gap and the creepage distance of the insulating rod must be corrected and increased to meet the requirements of electrical insulation of the system. This will increase the risk of pantograph hitting when the locomotive passes; increase manufacturing and procurement costs, and increase the workload of operation and maintenance.
