Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rail demagnetization, in particular to a permanent magnet rail demagnetization device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The description of the background of the present application belongs to the related art related to the present application, and is only used to illustrate and facilitate the understanding of the content of the present application, and should not be understood as the applicant's explicit recognition or presumption that the present application is the prior art on the date of the first application.

[0003] Nowadays, China's electrified railway adopts single-phase power frequency alternating current power supply system. In order to balance the three-phase power supply load, the motor train unit needs to be operated after driving a distance. The motor train unit is completed in a non-electric area, and the automatic opening and closing of the main circuit breaker is controlled by the ground magnetic steel magnetic signal sensed by the vehicle sensor. Some sections of some railways have occurred many times. The specific reason is that when the motor train unit automatically operates the neutral section, the abnormal magnetic induction signal emitted by the ground is received, causing the main circuit breaker of the motor train unit to abnormally open. According to the measurement and investigation of relevant staff, it is found that the abnormal magnetic signal of the ground comes from the magnetized rail, which is scattered in several points in the section where the accident occurred. In order to avoid the abnormal jump of the main circuit breaker and ensure the safety of passengers, the ground rail needs to be demagnetized.

[0004] The demagnetization method of oil and gas pipelines similar in size to the rail is investigated, mainly using direct current demagnetization method and alternating current demagnetization method. These two methods are convenient and efficient for steel pipe demagnetization, but they are not suitable for rail demagnetization. Because the direct current demagnetization method and the alternating current demagnetization method need to wind the coil around the steel pipe and need power supply, and for rail demagnetization, the rail is in service on the line, and cannot be wound with a coil, and the rail demagnetization often operates in the field, and the power supply is not convenient. In view of this situation, some people have designed a kind of oil and gas pipeline permanent magnet demagnetization device, that is, using N and S pole alternating magnet ring to replace the alternating current to achieve the same alternating magnetic field effect, but the demagnetization effect of the device is not good.

The degaussing assembly comprises a plurality of top degaussing groups 31, rail head degaussing groups 32 and rail waist degaussing groups 33 respectively generating continuously commutated degaussing magnetic fields, the top degaussing groups 31 are arranged at the top of the shell 1, and the rail head degaussing groups 32 and the rail waist degaussing groups 33 are arranged on both sides of the shell 1.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the shell 1 comprises a top mounting plate 101 and first and second side mounting plates 102 and 103 arranged on both sides of the bottom of the top mounting plate 101 respectively, and the top mounting plate 101 is connected with the first and second side mounting plates 102 and 103 by bolts. One side of the top mounting plate 101, the first side mounting plate 102 and the second side mounting plate 103 forms the inlet side 11, and the other side forms the outlet side 12. The top mounting plate 101, the first side mounting plate 102 and the second side mounting plate 103 are all provided with stepped plates 303 with heights decreasing in sequence along the direction from the inlet side 11 to the outlet side 12, that is, the height of the stepped plate 303 on the inlet side 11 is higher, and the stepped plate 303 is a plate provided with three steps. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the optimal size of the top mounting plate 101 is 40mm*20mm*10mm, which can cover the top surface of the rail 7.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 4The outer walls of the top mounting plate 101, the first side mounting plate 102 and the second side mounting plate 103 are respectively provided with handles 4, and handles 4 are additionally provided on the three plates to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the degaussing device. The length of the top mounting plate 101 extends the first side mounting plate 102 and the second side mounting plate 103, and the number of pulleys 2 is 2, and the two pulleys 2 are respectively arranged at the extension. Two shockproof clamping strips 5 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the two pulleys 2, the top end of the shockproof clamping strip 5 is connected with the top mounting plate 101, and the bottom end of the shockproof clamping strip 5 extends to the rail waist of the steel rail.

[0032] The top degaussing group 31, the rail head degaussing group 32 and the rail waist degaussing group 33 all include multiple groups of matched magnets 301 and fixing assemblies 302, the magnets 301 are arranged on the corresponding mounting plates, the two ends of the magnet 301 are connected with the corresponding mounting plate through the fixing assembly 302, the magnets 301 on the same mounting plate are arranged in a straight line, and the adjacent magnets 301 repel each other. According to the magnetic field distribution characteristics of the magnet 301, the type of the magnet 301 is determined, so that the material, shape and size of the permanent magnet 301 are determined through numerical calculation and simulation analysis of the magnet 301. The layout of the magnet 301 is designed based on the structure of the steel rail 7 by using the different residual magnetism corresponding hysteresis loops of the steel rail 7, and then the structure shape of the degaussing device is designed.

In other embodiments, more or less than three groups of matched magnets 301 and fixing assemblies 302 can be arranged according to the use requirement. In order to meet the requirement that the magnetic field gradually decreases when the magnet 301 passes through the surface of the rail 7, the top mounting plate 101, the first side mounting plate 102 and the second side mounting plate 103 are respectively provided with the step plate 303. In order to meet the requirement that the direction of the magnetic field changes when the magnet 301 passes through the surface of the rail 7, the magnets 301 are arranged in an N-S-N arrangement. In this way, the degaussing device passes through the surface of the rail 7 to generate a magnetic field which is reversed and has a decreasing amplitude.

The two ends of the pressing sheet 321 are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting plate through the fastener 322. During the installation of the magnet 301, the magnet 301 is first placed in the limiting cavity, then the magnet 301 is pressed by the pressing sheet 321, and finally the magnet 301 is fixed on the corresponding plate by the fastener 322. The strength of the pressing sheet 321 can withstand the suction force of the magnet 301 during the degaussing process.

[0035] When simulating the degaussing device and processing the physical diagram, the material should be a metal material which does not affect the magnetic field.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application.
