DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] A new type of track weighing structure is based on the ordinary sleepers of the original line. The weighing structure adopts an additional mechanical structure to install pressure sensors on the ordinary sleepers, thereby extending the length of the wheel weight detection section of the track scale and overload detection device to improve the detection accuracy.

[0052] The novel track weighing structure includes a fixing mechanism; the fixing mechanism is composed of a rail buckle bracket 4 installed on the rail, a pressure sensor 1 installed on the sleeper, and connecting accessories; after the novel track weighing structure is assembled, the bottom surface of the rail is not in direct contact with the rail support surface of the sleeper. Because the bottom surface of the rail is not in direct contact with the rail support surface of the sleeper, the fixing mechanism can swing up and down when the rail is compressed and deformed, generating an action force and a reaction force with the sleeper, thereby driving the sensor to be compressed and generate a signal. According to this principle, when a truck passes through the measurement area, the gravity causes the wheels to crush the rail deformation and squeeze the pressure sensor 1, thereby generating signal data.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the novel rail weighing structure also includes a force measurement zone consisting of shear force sensors 12 installed on the rail web. When a train wheel is within the detection zone, the corresponding train wheel weight can be measured. The profile and size of the pressure sensor 1 are customized according to the installation conditions and driving environment, and the tonnage can be selected.

[0054] According to the different structures and installation methods of the rail buckle bracket 4 and the pressure sensor 1, there are several different implementation methods. Example 1:

[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 4 A novel rail weighing structure shown includes a fixing mechanism; the fixing mechanism is composed of a rail buckle bracket 4 installed on the rail, a pressure sensor 1 installed on the sleeper, and connecting accessories.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the rail buckle bracket 4 is formed into a single entity by fastening or welding a rail buckle seat 141a and a bridge plate 42 with bolts. The rail buckle seat 141a is a metal square block with an inner groove 411 processed, the size of which matches the lower flange of the rail cross section, and a connection hole 412 drilled therein. The bridge plate 42 is a metal square bar with a smooth overlap surface. The middle of the square bar has a mounting hole for the pressure sensor 1. The rail buckle bracket 4 is formed into a single entity by welding or bolting a rail buckle seat 141a on each side below the bridge plate 42. The rail buckle bracket assembly bolts 6 are used to buckle the rail buckle bracket 4 on the inside and outside of the rail, so that the rail buckle bracket 4 and the rail form a rigid linkage.

[0057] The connection accessories include a transition stand 2, an adjustment pad 3, an adjustment pad 5, a rail buckle bracket assembly bolt 6, a bridge plate connection assembly bolt 7 and a sensor pressing assembly bolt 8; see Figure 7 The transition stand 2 is a metal workpiece with a boss, which is the installation base of the pressure sensor 1. The front end of the transition stand 2 is drilled with a mounting hole connected to the threaded spike on the rail support platform, and the upper surface of the rear end is drilled with a threaded hole for installing the pressure sensor 1; see Figure 8 The adjusting pad 3 is a metal square plate with a center hole drilled in the middle of the square plate. The adjusting pad 3 is used to adjust the horizontal height of the transition stand 2; see Figure 9 The adjustment pad 5 is a rubber gasket, the thickness of which is selected according to the installation height, and is used to assist in fine-tuning the adjustment pad 3; the rail buckle bracket assembly bolt 6, the bridge plate connection assembly bolt 7, and the sensor clamping assembly bolt 8 are all standard connectors;

[0058] like Figure 10-12 As shown, a connection hole connected to the bridge plate 42 is drilled at the front end of the pressure sensor 1, and a double connection hole connected to the transition stand 2 is reserved at the rear end.

[0059] In the assembled state, each measurement area needs to install a set of pressure sensors 1 on the inner and outer sides of the rails on both sides of the same sleeper, for a total of 4 pressure sensors 1 (see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 ); When installing, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4, with the center line of the sleeper as the center, the inside and outside of the rail are centered and buckled with two rail buckle brackets 4 on the lower edge of the rail, and the rail buckle bracket assembly bolts 6 are passed through the connecting holes 412 on the rail buckle seat 141a and tightened to fix the rail buckle bracket 4 on the rail; select an adjustment pad 5 of appropriate thickness and pass it through the center hole through the threaded spike pad on the rail support platform and place it on the rail support platform; after the adjustment pad 3 is installed on the adjustment pad 5, the transition platform 2 is installed from top to bottom, that is, the adjustment pad 3 passes through the center hole through the threaded spike on the rail support platform and falls on the adjustment pad 5; the front end of the transition platform 2 passes through the mounting hole through the threaded spike on the rail support platform and falls on the adjustment pad 3, and its rear end rests on the concrete upper surface of the sleeper end. ; By adjusting the adjustment pad 3 and the adjustment rubber pad 5, the upper surface of the transition platform 2 is made flat. After the height is appropriate, the nuts 11 of the threaded spikes are tightened to fix the transition platform 2 to the sleeper; after completing the above installation, the rail buckle bracket 4 is connected to the rail to form the same follower, and the transition platform 2 and the sleeper form a basic body; finally, the pressure sensor 1 is placed on the installation platform composed of the transition platform 2 and the bridge plate 42. After the front and rear of the pressure sensor 1 are aligned with the hole positions of the transition platform 2 and the rail buckle bracket 4, the bridge plate connecting combination bolts 7 are used to install and tighten the holes so that the front end is fixedly connected to the bridge plate 42, and the sensor tightening combination bolts 8 are used to install and tighten the holes so that the rear end is fixedly connected to the rear end of the transition platform 2.

[0060] In this embodiment 1, the bottom surface of the rail in the measuring area is suspended at a micrometer from the rail supporting platform, and there is space for the rail to swing and deform. When the wheel passes by, the deformation of the rail drives the rail buckle bracket 4 to deform, and the front end of the pressure sensor 1 is connected to the rail buckle bracket 4 and moves, while the rear end is connected to the sleeper and is relatively stationary. The misalignment difference drives the pressure sensor 1 to deform, so that the sensor is subjected to force and generates a signal.

[0061] Example 2:

[0062] like Figure 13-15 A novel rail weighing structure shown includes a fixing mechanism; the fixing mechanism is composed of a rail buckle bracket 4 installed on the rail, a pressure sensor 1 installed on the sleeper, and connecting accessories.

[0063] The rail buckle bracket 4 is a rail buckle seat II41b, which is square-shaped. The rail buckle seat II41b is provided with an inner groove 411, a connecting hole 412 and a hole for installing the pressure sensor 1. The size of the inner groove 411 is consistent with the lower convex edge of the rail cross section.

[0064] The connecting accessories include a support frame 13, an adjustment pad 3, a support frame connecting combination bolt 14, a rail buckle bracket combination bolt 6 and a sensor fixing combination bolt 15; the front end of the support frame is provided with a mounting hole for connecting with the threaded spikes on the rail sleeper support platform, and the upper surface of the rear end is provided with a threaded hole for installing the pressure sensor 1; the adjustment pad 3 is a square plate, and a center hole is opened in the middle of the adjustment pad 3; the support frame connecting combination bolt 14, the rail buckle bracket combination bolt 6 and the sensor fixing combination bolt 15 are all standard connecting parts.

[0065] The pressure sensor 1 is a long strip-shaped strain sensor 17. A connection hole connected to the support stand 13 is drilled in the middle of the long strip-shaped strain sensor 17, and double connection holes connected to the rail seat II41b are left at both the front and rear ends.

[0066] In the assembled state, each measuring area needs to install a set of pressure sensors 1 on the inner and outer sides of the rails on both sides of the same sleeper; during installation, with the center line of the sleeper as the center, the inner and outer sides of the rails are respectively aligned and buckled with the lower edge of the rail with two rail buckle seats II41b, and the rail buckle bracket assembly bolts 6 are inserted through the connecting holes 412 on the rail buckle seat II41b and tightened to fix the rail buckle seat II41b on the rail; the adjusting plate 3 passes through the threaded spike pad on the rail support platform through the center hole and falls on the rail support platform; the rear end of the support stand 13 passes through the threaded spike 16 on the rail support platform through the mounting hole It is installed on the adjusting pad 3 and tightened with the nut 11 to fix it to the sleeper; after completing the above installation, the rail seat II41b is connected to the rail to form the same follower, and the support stand 13 and the sleeper form a basic body; the strain sensor 17 is placed on the installation platform composed of the support stand 13 and the rail seat II41b, and the middle part of the strain sensor 17 is connected to the front end of the support stand 13 through the support stand connecting combination bolt 14, and the two ends of the strain sensor 17 are connected to the rail seat II41b through the sensor fixing combination bolt 15.

[0067] In this embodiment 2, the bottom surface of the rail in the measuring area is suspended at a micrometer from the rail supporting platform, and there is space for the rail to swing and deform. When the wheel passes by, the deformation of the rail drives the rail buckle bracket 4 to deform, and the front and rear ends of the strain sensor 17 are connected to the rail buckle bracket 4 and move with it, while the middle part is connected to the sleeper and is relatively stationary. The misalignment difference drives the strain sensor 17 to deform, so that the sensor is subjected to force and generates a signal.
