Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rail expansion and contraction adjustment, and in particular to a small-radius I-shaped point rail expansion and contraction adjustment mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A rail expansion regulator, also known as a temperature regulator, is a device that regulates rail expansion and contraction. It is primarily used on long-span steel girder bridges, bridgeheads, and seamless railway tracks where rail expansion and contraction must be adjusted. It balances the expansion and contraction differential between the railway line and the bridge caused by temperature fluctuations and concrete shrinkage and creep, and relieves longitudinal stress in the track caused by these forces.

[0003] In the existing technology, rail expansion and contraction adjusters interrupt rails by fitting the curves between the base and point rails without affecting the continuity of the running surface. They are mainly composed of relatively retractable point rails and base rails, guide rail supports, and fixed rail supports. In many domestic rail expansion and contraction adjusters, the heel end of the point rail is fixed, and the rest of the point rail is a free sliding area. The curved section of the base rail is driven outward by the expansion of the point rail. However, the curve radius of the fitting surface of the base rail and the point rail on such a structural expansion and contraction adjuster cannot be too small, generally more than 300m. Otherwise, if the radius is too small, the length of the fitting part between the base rail and the point rail will also be reduced, the resistance encountered by the point rail during expansion and contraction will increase, and the outward pressure on the base rail will also increase, which will not only increase the wear of the point rail, but also easily cause the base rail to be pushed outward, deformed, or even overturned. However, this will cause difficulties in some route modifications. For example, in an environment where the space for the point rail is limited, it is necessary to consider how to set up a structure that can meet the safety requirements of the rail expansion and contraction adjuster while reducing the curve radius.

[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN216074542U discloses a small-radius I-shaped point rail telescopic adjuster. While this solves the aforementioned technical problems, the guide rail supports on each base plate are not fixed in their installation positions, resulting in different sizes of the positioning plates used to position the guide rail supports. Furthermore, after installation, the positioning plates and guide rail supports must be welded together, severely restricting the construction progress. Furthermore, when applied in environments with frequent temperature fluctuations or large day-night temperature differences, the side of the guide rail support directly presses against the waist of the base rail. Frequent misalignment between the two will inevitably cause significant wear. Summary of the Invention
