Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conductive rails, in particular to a gapless guide type expansion joint. Background Art

[0002] The contact rail system is one of the key power supply devices for urban rail transit systems. It is generally installed on both sides of the train track. A current collector is installed on the train. During the operation of the train, the current collector contacts the contact rail surface to realize the process of powering the train.

[0003] Generally, the contact rail system is divided into several anchor sections, and an expansion joint is set in the middle of each anchor section. The changes in ambient temperature and the heat generated by the current during operation will cause the temperature of the contact rail to change, causing the contact rail to expand and contract. The role of the expansion joint is to meet the thermal expansion and contraction requirements of the contact rail, so that the train current collector can pass smoothly and meet the power supply needs of the train.

[0004] Commonly used contact rail expansion joints on the market consist of two long rails with a short rail positioned between them. A distinct expansion gap is left between the short rail and the long rail to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. The presence of this expansion gap can cause noise and arcing in the current collector when it passes through, hindering train operation.

[0005] In the invention patent application number "201710960283.8," entitled "Expansion Joint for Conductor Rail Assembly and Conductor Rail Assembly," the expansion joint includes: a first adapter; a first fixed steel plate disposed on the first adapter; a second adapter spaced apart from the first adapter; a second fixed steel plate disposed on the second adapter, with the distance between the first and second fixed steel plates gradually increasing along the width of the second adapter; and a sliding steel plate disposed between the first and second fixed steel plates and slidably connected thereto, respectively, with the upper surfaces of the first, second, and sliding steel plates flush. The expansion joint of this invention ensures a smooth transition between the sliding steel plate and the first and second fixed steel plates, thereby increasing train speed and reducing noise.

[0006] However, the stacked arrangement of the conductive rails, inner clamping plates, and adapters in this technical solution results in a complex structure and a high weight. When the current collector adopts a side contact current transfer method, the components will deflect and deform under the influence of their own weight, which greatly affects the sliding resistance of the expansion element.

[0068] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gapless guide expansion joint to solve the problems existing in the prior art, greatly reduce the thickness of the expansion joint, and cooperate with the I-shaped shape of the first I-shaped base and the second I-shaped base to greatly reduce its own weight, save manufacturing costs, reduce manufacturing processes, and is suitable for the installation form of the expansion joint for side support.

[0070] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, this embodiment provides a gapless guided expansion joint, including a first slide rail assembly 1, a second slide rail assembly 2, a compensation slider 3, a lumbar support assembly 4 and a conductive connection assembly 5; the first slide rail assembly 1 includes a first I-shaped base 11, a first conductive plate 12 is fixed on the first I-shaped base 11, and a first strip hole 111 is provided at the waist of the first I-shaped base 11; the second slide rail assembly 2 includes a second I-shaped base 21, a second conductive plate 22 is fixed on the second I-shaped base 21, and a second strip hole 211 is provided at the waist of the second I-shaped base 21; the compensation slider 3 can slide between the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22 along the width direction of the first conductive plate 12, so that there is zero gap between the compensation slider 3 and the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22. The lumbar support assembly 4 includes a first guide plate 41, a second guide plate 42, a first connecting bolt 43 and a second connecting bolt 44. The first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42 have a guide surface 412, and the guide surface 412 is in contact with the inner side surface of the flange of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21. The first connecting bolt 43 and the second connecting bolt 44 respectively pass through the first strip hole 111 and the second strip hole 211 to connect the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42; the conductive connection assembly 5 is respectively connected to the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 for diversion.

[0072] like Figures 14 to 17As shown, under the action of external forces or when thermal expansion and contraction occur, the compensating slider 3 can slide along its width direction, driving the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22 to move toward or relative to each other. At the same time, the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 move along the guide surfaces 412 of the first guide plates 41 and the second guide plates 42, achieving the goal of maintaining zero clearance between the compensating slider 3 and the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22, thereby stabilizing the flow diversion. In this embodiment, strip-shaped through holes are provided at the waist of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21, and the first guide plates 41 and the second guide plates 42 are arranged at the waist of the I-shaped shape. This allows a set of guide structures to guide the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21, resulting in a simpler guide structure. Furthermore, a first connecting bolt 43 is used to connect the first guide plate 41, the first I-shaped base 11, and the second guide plate 42. On the other side, a second connecting bolt 44 is used to connect the first guide plate 41, the second I-shaped base 21, and the second guide plate 42. This replaces the prior art structure in which the guide device and the fixed base are stacked. This not only simplifies the connection method and significantly reduces the thickness of the expansion joint, but also significantly reduces its own weight by matching the I-shaped shape of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21, thus saving manufacturing costs and simplifying the manufacturing process. When the gapless guide expansion joint is supported laterally and the current collector adopts a lateral contact flow transfer method, the deflection deformation caused by the expansion joint's own weight can be reduced, ensuring that there is less sliding resistance between the compensation slider 3 and the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22, so that its compensation function can be stably performed.

[0073] like Figure 11 As shown, to further reduce the weight of the expansion joint, in this embodiment, the first guide plate 41, the second guide plate 42, the first I-shaped base 11, and the second I-shaped base 21 are all made of aluminum alloy. Furthermore, the expansion joint in this embodiment can be installed using either bottom supports or side supports. However, aluminum alloy has poor rigidity. When installed using side supports, the first guide plate 41 is located below the second guide plate 42. Under the influence of its own weight, the middle portion of the expansion joint (i.e., the compensating slider 3 and the locations on both sides thereof) is still susceptible to deflection. To avoid this technical problem, in this embodiment, an L-shaped support plate 45 is fixed to the bottom of the first guide plate 41. The length of the L-shaped support plate 45 is no less than the length of the compensating slider 3. Of course, it is also feasible to install the L-shaped support plate 45 on both the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42. The L-shaped support plate 45 can improve the rigidity of the first guide plate 41 through its L-shaped structure. Specifically, the L-shaped support plate 45 can be made of tool steel or stainless steel.

[0074] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 are respectively provided with a third strip hole 112 and a fourth strip hole 212 in the middle of the length direction. The third connecting bolt 46 and the fourth connecting bolt 47 pass through the third strip hole 112 and the fourth strip hole 212, respectively, to connect the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42. The first strip hole 111 and the second strip hole 211 are respectively located on one end of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21, near the compensation slider 3. The other end of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 is provided with a connecting hole 113 for connecting other components. In this embodiment, the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 have the same structure. In the drawings, only the structure of the first I-shaped base 11 is illustrated.

[0075] like Figure 11 、 Figure 12 As shown, the first, second, third, and fourth connecting bolts 43, 44, 46, and 47 are respectively covered with a first limiting sleeve 431, a second limiting sleeve 441, a third limiting sleeve 461, and a fourth limiting sleeve 471. The ends of the first, second, third, and fourth limiting sleeves 431, 441, 461, and 471 respectively abut against the first and second guide plates 41, 42. The provision of multiple limiting sleeves prevents excessive pressure from being applied to the I-shaped base, ensuring smooth sliding.

[0076] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the compensation slider 3 includes a slider body 31, which may be trapezoidal in shape. Sliding bosses 311 are provided on both sides of the slider body 31 along its length. Sliding grooves 121 are obliquely provided at the ends of the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22, and the sliding bosses 311 slide within the sliding grooves 121. Preferably, the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22 are symmetrical with respect to the centerline of the slider body 31, and the slider body 31 itself is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid.

[0077] The bottom surface of the slider body 31 is also provided with a first rolling groove 312 and a second rolling groove 313. The first rolling groove 312 and the second rolling groove 313 are respectively arranged parallel to the two sliding bosses 311 and symmetrically about the midline of the slider body 31. A fixing plate 13 is provided on each of the first and second I-shaped bases 11 and 21. Along the length of the first I-shaped base 11, the two fixing plates 13 are located at the ends of the first and second I-shaped bases 11 and 21, respectively, and on one side of the first and second conductive plates 12 and 22, near the first and second rolling grooves 312 and 313. A plurality of rolling elements are rotatably mounted on the fixing plates 13. The distribution paths of the rolling elements are parallel to their corresponding sliding grooves 121. Two groups of rolling elements roll within the first and second rolling grooves 312 and 313. Specifically, the rolling elements may be small rollers 23. The cooperation between the small rollers 23 and the rolling grooves enables the linkage between the slider body and the first and second conductive plates 12 and 22. The fixing plate 13 is provided with a plurality of roller fixing holes 131 and inner countersunk holes 132. The roller fixing holes 131 correspond to and are connected to the inner countersunk holes 132. The small roller 23 is rotatably fixed on a screw rod 24. After the screw rod 24 passes through the roller fixing hole 131, the end thereof extends into the inner countersunk hole 132. A nut is provided in the inner countersunk hole 132. Figures 9 and 10 shown.

[0078] The reason why rolling elements are not directly arranged on the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 in this embodiment is that the thickness of the flanges on both sides of the I-shaped base is relatively small, and the inner side surfaces are inclined, which makes it inconvenient to fix the rolling elements. The thickness of the fixing plate 13 is larger than the flanges, and the lower surface is flat, which makes it easier to open the roller fixing hole 131 and the inner countersunk hole 132. In order to ensure that the upper surface of the fixing plate 13 does not exceed the height of the lower surface of the first conductive plate 12 and the second conductive plate 22, the ends of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21 can be cut off to an appropriate height before installing the fixing plate 13. In addition, in order to avoid the fixing plate 13, the middle parts of the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42 are provided with an avoidance groove 411, and the guide surface 412 is provided at the two end positions of the first guide plate 41 and the second guide plate 42.

[0079] Furthermore, baffle mounting holes 133 are provided on both end surfaces of the fixed plate 13 along the width direction of the fixed plate 13, and a first baffle 134 and a second baffle 135 are respectively provided at the baffle mounting holes 133. The first baffle 134 and the second baffle 135 are both located on the distribution tracks of several rolling elements and can slide in the first rolling groove 312 or the second rolling groove 313 to protect the rolling elements.

[0080] In this embodiment, the compensating slider 3 also includes a compensating metal band 32 fixed to the slider body 31. The lower surface of the slider body 31 is provided with a metal band fixing hole 314 for securing the compensating metal band 32. The end of the compensating metal band 32 is electrically connected to the conductive connection assembly 5. Although the slider body 31 and the first and second conductive plates 12 and 22 brackets have a zero-clearance fit, a small amount of clearance does exist, which affects the flow diversion process. The compensating metal band 32 ensures stable flow diversion.

[0081] like Figure 13 As shown, the bottom conductive connection assembly 5 includes a first electrical connection block 51, a second electrical connection block 52, an annular soft metal belt 53, an inner clamping plate 54, an outer limit plate 55, and matching fasteners 56. The first electrical connection block 51 and the second electrical connection block 52 are welded to the lower portion of the first I-shaped base 11 and the second I-shaped base 21, respectively. The fasteners fix the inner clamping plate 54, the annular soft metal belt 53, and the outer limit plate 55 to the electrical connection blocks in order from the inside to the outside.

[0082] The annular soft metal strip 53 is composed of a stack of copper foil sheets. An inner clamping plate 54, positioned between the electrical connection block and the annular soft metal strip 53, clamps the copper foil and increases the contact area for flow diversion. An outer limiting plate 55 defines the outer boundaries of the annular soft metal strip 53. The interaction between the inner clamping plate 54 and the outer limiting plate 55 ensures that the annular soft metal strip 53 remains confined within the outer limiting plate 55 during deformation and movement. This ensures that the shape and dimensions of the annular soft metal strip 53 remain constant, ensuring smooth flow diversion.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first conductive plate 12, the second conductive plate 22, and the slider body 31 each include a stainless steel layer 6, an adhesive metal layer 7, and a conductive aluminum alloy layer 8, stacked from outside to inside. The stainless steel layer 6 has excellent wear resistance, the conductive aluminum alloy layer 8 has excellent electrical conductivity, and the adhesive metal layer 7 improves the bonding performance between the stainless steel layer 6 and the conductive aluminum alloy layer 8.

[0084] Adaptive changes based on actual needs are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0085] It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim to which they relate.
