TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rail transit engineering, and in particular to a turnout damper with adjustable stiffness, a stiffness setting method and a turnout. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a railway turnout area, there are various combinations of rails, and the length of the turnout damper varies. In addition, there are also turnout-specific track components such as spacing irons and sliding bed platforms. These structures result in a large longitudinal non-uniformity of the overall stiffness of the track in the railway turnout area. In particular, when there is a need for vibration reduction in the turnout area, the use of a turnout damper will further exacerbate the non-uniformity of the stiffness of the turnout.

[0003] When a train passes through the turnout, the vertical deflection of the track will change unevenly at different positions, forming additional irregularities. The additional irregularities of the stiffness of the turnout will worsen the wheel-rail interaction and affect the running smoothness, comfort and even safety of the train when passing through the turnout. At the same time, the non-uniformity of the stiffness exacerbates the impact of the train on the turnout, increasing the workload for maintenance and repair of the turnout and shortening the service life of the turnout. Therefore, the uniformity of the stiffness of the turnout is particularly important for the smoothness, comfort, safety and service life of the turnout of a high-speed railway.

[0004] The number of subway turnout areas is small, the length of the turnout is short, and the speed of the train is not high, so the problem of non-uniformity of the stiffness of the turnout does not have a significant impact. For the turnout of a city railway, an intercity railway and a high-speed railway, the non-uniformity of the stiffness of the turnout is a problem that cannot be ignored. In the past, in order to achieve the uniformity of the stiffness of the turnout area, different stiffness rubber pads were set at different positions of the turnout, and the "node stiffness" of the fastener at different positions of the turnout was adjusted to make the "overall stiffness" of the turnout at different positions consistent, so that the vertical displacement of the track is basically consistent when the train passes through. However, the traditional method of adjusting the structure of vulcanized rubber and changing the stiffness of the elastic pad is relatively complex, especially the vulcanized rubber pads with different stiffnesses, which require different structures of vulcanization molds, have high costs, and cannot be adjusted after installation. At present, there is no turnout damper with adjustable stiffness to facilitate the adjustment of the turnout damper. SUMMARY

[0066] The stiffness adjusting pad 22 is generally made of rubber or polyethylene, for example, high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

[0067] The elastic layer 12 is preferably made of rubber.

[0068] On the basis of the above, further preferably, the elastic layer 12 is provided with at least two spaced steel sleeves 13, and the elastic layer 12 is further provided with a top plate 11, and the top plate 11 is sleeved outside the steel sleeve 13.

[0075] The present application relates to the rigidity-adjustable turnout damper, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 , comprising a rigidity adjusting device 20; as shown in Figure 5 and 6 , further comprising a top plate 11, two steel sleeves 13 and an elastic layer 12, the two steel sleeves 13 are built-in in the top plate 11 and connected as a whole through the elastic layer 12, and the elastic layer 12 is preferably made of rubber. The top plate 11 is provided with a threaded through hole 111 for fixing the turnout iron pad, and the fastening connection with the turnout structure 10 (such as turnout iron pad, turnout track, frog, switch or sliding bed plate) is realized through a connecting bolt 112; the two steel sleeves 13 are provided with a waist-shaped through hole 131 for fixing the anchor bolt 14 and the sleeper, and the waist-shaped through hole 131 has a buffer adjusting block 16 between the side wall and the anchor bolt 14, the buffer adjusting block 16 can be made of polyamide 66, and the anchor bolt 14 further penetrates and abuts against a cover plate 15, and the cover plate 15 abuts against the steel sleeve 13.

[0076] As shown in Figures 8-11As shown, the stiffness adjustment device 20 is installed under the rubber layer of the elastic layer 12. The stiffness adjustment device consists of a frame plate 21 and a stiffness adjustment pad 22, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. The overall stiffness of the turnout vibration damper can be adjusted by adjusting the area of ​​the stiffness adjustment pad 22. The stiffness adjustment pad 22 can be configured with multiple specifications according to stiffness adjustment requirements.

[0077] Vibration reduction principle: The rails on the turnout are installed on the adjustable stiffness turnout vibration damper described in this embodiment via fasteners. The top plate 11, elastic layer 12, and stiffness adjustment device 20 are fixed to the rails. When a train acts on the rails, the rails transmit the force sequentially to the top plate 11 and elastic layer 12 through the fasteners. The elastic layer 12 deforms under the vertical force of the wheel and rail, thereby achieving the purpose of attenuating wheel-rail vibration.

When the fully load-bearing type pad K1 is used, that is, the width S1 of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 is equal to the width A1 of the placement groove 23, the elastic layer protrusions 121 are fully load-bearing, and the overall stiffness is the full stiffness K of the elastic layer protrusions 121. When the partially stiffness pad K2 is used, that is, the width S1 of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 is less than the width A1 of the placement groove 23, the elastic layer protrusions 121 are partially load-bearing. The unloaded width corresponding to K2 is set as n, and the stiffness value per unit load width is K. 单 The overall stiffness of the turnout vibration damper using the non-fully load-bearing type K2 is Kn*K. 单 Non-full load-bearing pads can be configured in multiple models according to actual needs, and the non-load-bearing width n can be designed in different dimensions as needed.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] like Figures 1-19 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a stiffness setting method for a stiffness-adjustable turnout damper as described in Embodiment 1 is provided, wherein the stiffness adjustment pads 22 of different sizes only vary in width.

[0081] The stiffness setting method includes the following steps:

[0082] S1. The relationship between the nodal stiffness k of the turnout vibration damper and the width s of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 was obtained through experimental testing, and the proportional coefficient α was obtained by linear fitting.

[0083] S2. Determine the desired stiffness k of the basic track turnout vibration damper based on the turnout vibration reduction level requirements. fand the expected stiffness k of the basic track turnout damper based on the proportional coefficient a f Corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22 expected width S f ;

[0084] S3. Establish a turnout mechanical model based on the stiffness-adjustable turnout damper described in embodiment 1, the rail is simulated by a beam model, and the stiffness-adjustable turnout damper is simulated by a spring;

[0085] S4. Calculate the stiffness of each node in the turnout area when the stiffness-adjustable turnout damper is initially set before stiffness homogenization according to the straight driving path and the lateral driving path respectively s , to obtain the node stiffness curve k s (x), wherein x is the coordinate along the straight driving path or the lateral driving path;

[0086] S5. Calculate the width S1(x l ) required for adjustment of the straight driving stiffness adjustment pad 22 and the width S2(x s ) required for adjustment of the lateral driving stiffness adjustment pad 22 based on the node stiffness curve k s (x), the proportional coefficient a, and the expected stiffness k f of the basic track turnout damper of the corresponding type;

[0087] S6. Average the width of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 at the common position in the straight path and lateral path directions based on the width S1(x l ) of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 on the straight driving path and the width S2(x s ) of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 on the lateral driving path, to obtain the average width s0(x) of the corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22;

[0088] S7. Obtain the final width S z of the corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22 based on the average width s0(x) of the corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22 and the expected width S f of the corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22.

[0089] The stiffness setting method for the stiffness-adjustable turnout damper according to the present application can realize on-site installation and adjustment of the damper stiffness, and can adjust the width of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 at any time according to the measured turnout stiffness non-uniformity index, thereby greatly improving the turnout stiffness homogenization accuracy.

[0090] Specifically, the proportional coefficient a is specifically:

[0091] k=k0+as

[0092] Wherein, k is the turnout damper node stiffness; s is the stiffness adjustment pad 22 width; k0 is the basic stiffness value.

[0093] Specifically, in step S5, the stiffness adjustment pad 22 width S1(x s ) and S2(x l ) of the straight and lateral paths are calculated based on the node stiffness curve k s (x) and the proportional coefficient α by the first formula, wherein the first formula is specifically:

[0094] s1(x l )=(k s (x l )-k f ) / α

[0095] s2(x s )=(k s (x s )-k f ) / α

[0096] Wherein, k s (x l ) is the node stiffness value corresponding to the coordinate x l position along the straight path; k s (x s ) is the node stiffness value corresponding to the coordinate x s position along the lateral path.

[0097] Specifically, in step S6, the stiffness adjustment pad 22 width of the common position of the straight and lateral paths is averaged according to the second formula, wherein the second formula is specifically: S0(x)=(S1(x l )+S2(x s )) / 2.

[0098] The specific turnout damper stiffness setting method is as follows:

[0099] S1. According to the turnout design scheme, determine the turnout general layout and turnout damper scheme, obtain the relationship between the target type turnout damper node stiffness k and the stiffness adjustment pad 22 width s through test, and perform linear fitting to obtain the proportional coefficient α, that is,

[0100] k=k0+αs (1)

[0101] Wherein, k is the turnout damper node stiffness; s is the stiffness adjustment pad 22 width; k0 is the basic stiffness value.

[0102] For example, as Figure 3As shown, when using a stiffness adjusting shim 22 with a width of S1, the turnout stiffness can be determined to be k1 through testing; when using a stiffness adjusting shim 22 with a width of S2, the turnout stiffness can be determined to be k2 through testing. Substituting into equation (1), the following relationship is obtained:

[0103] ①k1=k0+αS1; ②k2=k0+αS2

[0104] The relationship between the stiffness adjustment pad of each width and the stiffness of the turnout damper can be derived. Similarly, the relationship between each type of turnout damper and its corresponding stiffness adjustment pad width can be derived.

[0105] For example, for a type I turnout vibration damper, when the width of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 is S1 = 400 mm, the turnout vibration damper stiffness k1 = 10 kN / mm; and when the width S2 = 600 mm, the turnout vibration damper stiffness k2 = 12.5 kN / mm. The relationship between the stiffness of the type I turnout vibration damper and the width of the stiffness adjustment pad can be calculated as: k = 5 + 0.0125S, where the foundation stiffness value k0 = 0.5 and the proportionality coefficient α = 0.0125.

[0106] S2. Determine the desired stiffness k of the basic track turnout vibration damper based on the turnout vibration reduction level requirements. f Substituting this into k = 5 + 0.0125S, the desired stiffness k of the basic track turnout vibration damper is obtained based on the proportionality coefficient α. f The corresponding stiffness adjustment pad 22 has a desired width S. f .

[0107] Specifically, assuming the desired stiffness k of the aforementioned Type I turnout f =15kN / mm, then its corresponding expected width S f =(k f -5) / 0.0125 = 800mm. Similarly, the expected width for other types of turnout sleepers can be obtained.

[0108] S3. Establish a turnout mechanical model. The rail is simulated using a beam model, and the adjustable stiffness turnout vibration damper is simulated using a spring.

[0109] S4.

[0116] Figure 16 This is a diagram of a right-hand turnout track layout. The area within the box contains the turnout vibration damper, while the remaining areas contain individual track vibration dampers. The design stiffness of the individual track vibration dampers is the desired stiffness, requiring no adjustment.

[0117] Figure 17 As shown, taking sleeper No. 18 as an example: the turnout damper on the left track of sleeper No. 18 (upper position in the figure) includes both straight and curved main rails. Theoretical calculations show that the stiffness of the straight main rail before homogenization is 18 kN / mm, and the stiffness of the curved main rail is 17 kN / mm; therefore, the required adjustment width s1(x) of the stiffness adjustment pad 22 on the straight travel path can be calculated respectively. l ) = (Stiffness of straight main rail - Desired stiffness of aligned turnout) / α = (k s (x l )-k f) / a = (18-15) / 0.0125 = 240mm, the width s2(x) of the stiffness adjusting pad 22 required to be adjusted on the lateral running path s ) = (the stiffness of the curved main track - the expected stiffness of the alignment type turnout) / a = (k s (x s )-k f ) / a = (17-15) / 0.0125 = 160mm, so s0(x) = (240+160) / 2 = 200mm, which is a positive number, i.e. the final width S of the stiffness adjusting pad 22 at this position z = the maximum width - this value = S max -s0(x) = 800-200 = 600mm. Similarly, the adjustment width of the stiffness adjusting pad at other positions can be deduced, such as the position near the intersection of the curved main track and the straight inner track, the curved main track, and the straight main track.
