[0002] The tram diamond crossing generally comprises four frogs, and for the tram diamond crossing, generally, when the crossing angle is less than or equal to 30 degrees, the frog wheel groove of the frog is generally deep groove, and when the crossing angle is greater than 30 degrees, the frog wheel groove of the frog is generally shallow groove. When the diamond crossing adopts shallow groove, the allowable speed of the shallow groove crossing is 15 km / h, which has a great influence on the running speed of the vehicle, which greatly affects the operation efficiency. In addition, the current tram diamond crossing generally adopts fixed frog, and the existing fixed frog not only has the above speed limit problem, but also has inherent harmful space due to the wheel-rail conversion area. When the vehicle passes through the harmful space, it will bring greater vibration noise, and the frog crossbar is also worn. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the defects of the above-mentioned technology, the present application provides a new type of tram frog which can adopt deep grooves to improve the passing speed when the crossing angle of the diamond crossing is large.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application proposes a new type of tram frog, which comprises a frog body 1, a sliding block 2 assembled on the frog body 1, and four groove rails 3 respectively welded and fixed with four ends of the frog body 1. Among them, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The upper end surface of the frog body 1 is formed with an assembly cavity 11 at the middle position, and the sliding block 2 is movably adjusted and assembled in the assembly cavity 11. As shown in Figure 3 The upper end surface of the frog body 1 is formed with two groups of symmetrical "eight" type frog rim grooves 12 on the left and right sides of the assembly cavity 11, and the size of the frog rim groove 12 is matched with the size of the groove of the groove rail 3. As shown in Figure 6 The upper end surface of the sliding block 2 is formed with a first butt joint rim groove 21 and a second butt joint rim groove 22, wherein the first butt joint rim groove 21 and the second butt joint rim groove 22 are distributed in the form of "eight". When the sliding block 2 is moved and adjusted to the first position, the first butt joint rim groove 21 is connected to a pair of corresponding frog rim grooves of the two groups of "eight" type frog rim grooves 12; when the sliding block 2 is moved and adjusted to the second position, the second butt joint rim groove 22 is connected to another pair of corresponding frog rim grooves of the two groups of "eight" type frog rim grooves 12.

[0028] Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, a position-stabilizing device is arranged between the assembly cavity 11 and the sliding block 2, which is used to stabilize the position of the sliding block 2 in the assembly cavity 11, to keep the concentricity during the movement of the sliding block 2 in the assembly cavity 11, and to keep the stability without deviation after the sliding block 2 is adjusted in place.
[0029] As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the position-stabilizing device comprises a position-limiting groove 111 formed on the left and right cavity walls of the assembly cavity 11, and a position-limiting flange 23 formed on the left and right sides of the sliding block 2, wherein the position-limiting flange 23 is slidingly fitted in the position-limiting groove 111, and through the combination of the two, the position of the sliding block 2 in the assembly cavity 11 is maintained stable and limited.
[0030] Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 , the width of the sliding block 2 is greater than the width of the assembly cavity 11, and the front and rear ends of the sliding block 2 protrude from the left and right sides of the assembly cavity 11 in the width direction. The bottom of the sliding block 2 is provided with an abutting positioning device for positioning the first position and the second position, which is used to assist the quick and accurate positioning of the first position and the second position during the movement adjustment of the sliding block 2, so that the sliding block 2 can quickly and accurately complete the adjustment of the first position and the second position, thereby completing the selective connection and communication of the first abutting flange groove 21 and the second abutting flange groove 22 with the two groups of symmetrical "8"-shaped frog flange grooves 12 arranged on the frog body 1, to change the track communication path.
[0031] As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the docking positioning device includes a first docking positioning block 24 and a second docking positioning block 25 fixed at the front and rear ends of the sliding block 2 respectively. Among them, the inner side of the first docking positioning block 24 is in contact with the front side of the frog body 1 in the first position, and the inner side of the second docking positioning block 25 is in contact with the rear side of the frog body 1 in the second position. When moving the adjusting sliding block 2, when the inner side of the first docking positioning block 24 is in contact with the front side of the frog body 1, it can be confirmed that the sliding block 2 is in the first position at this time, and the sliding block 2 does not need to be moved again. The first docking rim groove 21 on the sliding block 2 and the other pair of obliquely corresponding frog rim grooves in the two groups of symmetrically arranged "eight" shaped frog rim grooves 12 on the frog body 1 are quickly connected in communication. When moving the adjusting sliding block 2, when the inner side of the second docking positioning block 25 is in contact with the rear side of the frog body 1, it can be confirmed that the sliding block 2 is in the second position at this time, and the sliding block 2 does not need to be moved again. The second docking rim groove 22 on the sliding block 2 and the other pair of obliquely corresponding frog rim grooves in the two groups of symmetrically arranged "eight" shaped frog rim grooves 12 on the frog body 1 are quickly connected in communication.
[0032] As a specific embodiment, the first docking positioning block 24 and the second docking positioning block 25 are respectively welded and fixed with the bottom of the sliding block 2. Of course, the first docking positioning block 24 and the second docking positioning block 25 can also be respectively bolted and fixed with the bottom of the sliding block 2. When assembling the sliding block 2 and the frog body 1, at least one side of the docking positioning block should be in a vacant state, for example, after fixing the first docking positioning block 24, the rear end of the sliding block 2 without the second docking positioning block 25 is inserted from the front opening of the assembly cavity 11 along the width direction of the assembly cavity 11. In this process, the limiting flanges 23 on the left and right sides of the sliding block 2 are slidably fitted in the limiting grooves 111 on the left and right side walls of the assembly cavity 11. After the sliding block 2 is assembled, the second docking positioning block 25 is fixed at the rear end of the sliding block 2.
[0033] Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , at least one end of the front and rear ends of the sliding block 2 is provided with a traction connecting piece 4 connected with an external traction device.

In other embodiments, as shown, Figure 8 As shown, the traction connecting piece 4 is a pull rod 41 welded at at least one end of the front and rear ends of the sliding block 2, and the sliding block 2 can be conveniently moved and adjusted by connecting the pull rod 41 with the external traction device. In other embodiments, as shown, Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the better welding and fixing of the end of the frog body 1 and the channel steel rail 3, the two end faces of the frog body 1 are formed with grooves 13 after the end faces are machined into ends. In this way, the channel steel rail 3 and the inner side welding side of the end have better welding operation space, which facilitates the welding of the end and the channel steel rail 3. It should be noted that the grooves 13 are not necessarily provided. If aluminum thermal welding or flash welding is used, the two end faces of the frog body 1 must be machined into ends, and the grooves 13 must be provided at this time. If manual welding is used, whether the grooves 13 are provided or not is not required. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the frog body 1 and the sliding block 2 are both made of alloy steel.
[0035] The novel tram frog of the present application can meet the deep groove when the crossing angle of the diamond crossing is large, so as to improve the passing speed and the operation efficiency. In addition, this new frog can also be used when the diamond angle is small. Since the frog of the present application cancels the wheel-rail conversion area, there is no harmful space inherent in the fixed frog, which on the one hand avoids the vibration and noise caused by the vehicle passing through the harmful space, and on the other hand can reduce the wear of the frog heart.
