[0002] Contact rail power supply is an important power supply mode for urban rail transit. Before the 1990s, the contact rail was made of low-carbon steel. For example, Beijing Subway Line 1 and Line 13, Tianjin Subway Line 1 and other early subway lines all used low-carbon steel contact rails. Since the 20th century, the contact rail has adopted steel-aluminum composite contact rails with good conductivity, light weight, easy installation, and convenient operation and maintenance. Wuhan Light Rail was the first to use steel-aluminum composite contact rails in China, and then steel-aluminum composite contact rails were widely used in subways in Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Qingdao and other cities.
[0003] Since low-carbon steel contact rails have high energy consumption, heavy weight and inconvenient maintenance, the existing low-carbon steel contact rail lines need to be upgraded to steel-aluminum composite contact rail lines. Due to the particularity of rail transit, the upgrade and renovation of the lines requires non-stop construction. The cross-section and height dimensions of low-carbon steel contact rails and steel-aluminum composite contact rails are different, and the existing splint-type contact rail connection joints cannot connect contact rails with different cross-sections and heights, which will hinder the upgrade and replacement of the contact rails.

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 The present invention is described in detail with specific embodiments.
[0024] Example 1, see Figure 1 , 2 , 4, 6, 8.
[0025] A contact rail height difference adjustable connection joint, comprising a base plate 1, wherein a first clamping seat 2 and a second clamping seat 3 for fixing a low contact rail 6 are arranged on the left side of the upper end surface of the base plate 1 along the line direction; a third clamping seat 8 and a fourth clamping seat 9 for fixing a high contact rail 7 are arranged on the right side of the upper end surface of the base plate 1 along the line direction; the positions where the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3 and the third clamping seat 8 are arranged on the base plate 1 have strip holes 11 perpendicular to the line direction, the outer sides of the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3 and the third clamping seat 8 (away from the contact rail) are all provided with through holes 12, and the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3, the third clamping seat 8 are provided with a through hole 12, and the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3, the third clamping seat 8 are provided with a through hole 12. The inner side of the first and second clamping seats 9 (the side close to the contact rail) are provided with a pressing bevel 13. The first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3 are respectively fixed to the left side of the upper end surface of the substrate 1 through the second bolt pair 14 through the through hole 12 and the strip hole 11 in sequence, and the pressing bevel 13 is respectively pressed on the rail limbs on both sides of the low contact rail 6; the third clamping seat 8 is fixed to the right side of the upper end surface of the substrate 1 through the third bolt pair 15 through the through hole 12 and the strip hole 11 in sequence, and the fourth clamping seat 9 is directly welded to the right side of the upper end surface of the substrate 1, and the pressing bevel 13 is pressed on the rail limbs on both sides of the high contact rail 7.
[0026] During specific assembly, firstly, the fourth card holder 9 is directly welded to the right side of the upper end surface of the substrate 1 according to design requirements as an assembly reference for the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8, and then the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 are installed in sequence.
[0027] Since the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 are connected to the base plate 1 through the strip hole 11, the installation positions of the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 can be conveniently adjusted. However, due to the vibration of the contact rail and other reasons during the operation of the line, the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 all have the hidden danger of retreating. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, the outer sides of the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 are horizontally provided with a tightening bolt 18, and the tightening bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the base plate 1. The tightening bolt 18 tightens the first card holder 2, the second card holder 3 and the third card holder 8 to prevent them from retreating.
[0028] Preferably, a tightening seat 19 is respectively provided on the base plate 1 outside the first clamping seat 2 , the second clamping seat 3 and the third clamping seat 8 , and the tightening bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the tightening seat 19 .
[0029] Furthermore, an adjusting bolt 4 is threadedly connected at the lower left side of the base plate 1, a cushion block 5 is provided between the first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3, and the adjusting bolt 4 is located below the cushion block 5, and the cushion block 5 is pushed upward by rotating the adjusting bolt 4 to make the current receiving surface heights of the low contact rail 6 and the high contact rail 7 consistent;
[0030] In order to ensure the stability of the low contact rail 6 after the height is adjusted, two adjusting bolts 4 are arranged along the line direction, and the pad 5 is a circular pad, and a blind hole is arranged at the center of the lower end of the circular pad, and the upper end of the adjusting bolt 4 is inserted into the blind hole to prevent the circular pad from moving. The adjusting bolts 4 are all equipped with anti-loosening nuts 20, and the anti-loosening nuts 20 are located below the base plate 1. After the adjusting bolts 4 are adjusted, the anti-loosening nuts 20 are tightly pressed against the lower end surface of the base plate 1.
[0031] Furthermore, connecting plates 10 are arranged on the rail waists on both sides of the joint between the lower contact rail 6 and the upper contact rail 7 to control the gap between the two contact rails and conduct current. The two ends of the connecting plate 10 are fixedly connected to the rail waists of the lower contact rail 6 and the upper contact rail 7 through first bolt pairs 17, respectively.
[0032] In order to prevent the connecting plate 10 from interfering with the first bolt pair 17 when connecting two contact rails of different heights, a through hole 21 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 10 connected to the high contact rail 7, and a waist-shaped hole 22 is vertically provided at one end connected to the low contact rail 6. The first bolt pair 17 passes through the through hole 21 and is fixedly connected to the waist of the high contact rail 7, and the first bolt pair 17 passes through the waist-shaped hole 22 and is fixedly connected to the waist of the low contact rail 6; the interference between the low contact rail 6 and the first bolt pair 17 is eliminated by the up and down adjustment function of the waist-shaped hole 22.
[0033] Example 2, see Figure 1 , 3 , 5, 6, 7, 8.
[0034] The basic structure is the same as that of Example 1, except that: there are four adjusting bolts 4 arranged in two rows along the line direction, there are two pads 5 and both are inverted U-shaped pads, and the upper surface of the base plate 1 on both sides of the adjusting bolt 4 is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 16 perpendicular to the line direction, and the two limbs of the inverted U-shaped pad are inserted into the limiting grooves 16, and the upper end of the adjusting bolt 4 extends into the inverted U-shaped pad. The limiting grooves 16 are used to ensure that after the adjustment of the adjusting bolt 4 is completed, the two limbs of the inverted U-shaped pad are still located in the limiting grooves 16, so as to prevent the inverted U-shaped pad from moving along the line direction after the height difference of the contact rail is adjusted, and ensure the stability of the low contact rail 6 after the height adjustment.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the base plate 1, the first card seat 2, the second card seat 3, the third card seat 8 and the fourth card seat 9 are all made of aluminum alloy, which is light, has suitable mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity; the connecting plate 8 is a copper plate, which has high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity; the pad 5 is a nylon pad, which effectively prevents the adjusting bolt 4 from scratching the low contact rail 6; the low contact rail 6 is a steel-aluminum composite contact rail, and the high contact rail 7 is a low-carbon steel contact rail.
[0036] The installation method of the present invention is as follows: first, the connecting plate 10 is connected to the reserved holes on the rail waist on both sides of the joint of the two contact rails (the low contact rail 6 and the high contact rail 7) through the first bolt pair 17, and then the fourth clamping seat 9 on the base plate 1 is clamped into one side rail limb of the high contact rail 7, and then the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3, and the third clamping seat 8 are assembled on the base plate 1 and buckled onto the corresponding rail limbs, and the adjustment bolt 4 is rotated to make the current receiving surfaces of the two contact rails flush, and the positions of the first clamping seat 2, the second clamping seat 3, and the third clamping seat 8 are adjusted, and the second bolt pair 14, the third bolt pair 15 and the tightening bolt 18 are tightened in sequence.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the contents described in the claims of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
