Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of turnouts, and in particular relates to a railway turnout protection device. Background Art

[0002] As an important equipment for connecting railway lines, turnouts are one of the weakest links in the track. With the development of railway transportation towards high speed and heavy load, the adoption of heavy rails and large-number turnouts, higher requirements are placed on switching equipment. The external locking unit is a device for switching turnouts and reliably locking them.

[0003] Since the external locking unit is an open structure, during locomotive transportation, sand is easily spilled and falls into the gap of the action rod when passing through the turnouts at each station. In actual use, the external locking unit is very sensitive to the invasion of foreign objects. The invasion of foreign objects may increase the switching resistance of the external locking unit, affect the resetting of the turnout, cause mechanical failure, or even jam and make it impossible to switch the turnout. Especially in windy and sandy areas and steep slopes in my country, wind and sand invasion and locomotive sand may cause external locking unit failure. Summary of the invention

The fasteners are in the fixed through holes and screw holes, and the sand-proof plate is tightly fixed to the insulating fixing piece by the fixed through holes and screw holes. The detection alarm device is arranged between the sand-proof plate and the insulating fixing piece. The detection alarm device includes pressure sensor 1, pressure sensor 2, a warning light and a microcontroller. The pressure sensor 1 is arranged on the upper wall of the fixed support plate 1 and is arranged between the fixed support plate 1 and the sand-proof plate. The pressure sensor 2 is arranged on the upper wall of the fixed support plate 2 and is arranged between the fixed support plate 2 and the sand-proof plate. A control cavity is arranged in the insulating fixing piece, and the microcontroller is arranged in the control cavity. The warning light is arranged on the upper wall of the insulating fixing piece. The pressure sensor 1 and the pressure sensor 2 are electrically connected to the microcontroller respectively. The pressure sensor 1 and the pressure sensor 2 detect whether the fixed support plate 1 and the fixed support plate 2 are firmly fixed to the sand-proof plate. When the fixed support plate 1 and the fixed support plate 2 are loosened from the sand-proof plate, the microcontroller controls the warning light to light up to remind the maintenance personnel to repair it in time.

[0006] Furthermore, a shielding edge is provided on the lower wall of one side of the sand-proof board, and the length of the shielding edge is 3-6 cm, which strengthens the stability of the sand-proof board to prevent the sand-proof board from vibrating with the vehicle when a vehicle passes.

[0007] Furthermore, the side wall of the insulating fixing member is provided with electric wires, and the electric wires are electrically connected to the microcontroller, the warning light, the pressure sensor 1, and the pressure sensor 2 respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the insulating fixings are made of polycarbonate insulating parts, which have good heat resistance and low temperature resistance, stable mechanical properties, dimensional stability, electrical properties and flame retardancy within a wide temperature range, strong weather resistance, and can be used for a long time at minus 60 degrees to 120 degrees.

[0009] Furthermore, the fasteners include bolts and nuts, and the sand-proof plate is made of 304 stainless steel plate, which has strong toughness and corrosion resistance.
