[0002] Rail transit is an important part of the public transportation system. It has the advantages of large capacity, fast speed, safety and reliability. Rail transit is regarded as the backbone of the urban transportation system and has become the focus of the transportation development strategy. With the continuous improvement of high-speed railway construction and the increasing use of high-speed heavy-load trains, the requirements for rail quality are constantly increasing, and rail repair faces new challenges; due to the extremely high use cost and time limitations of large grinding vehicles, and low operating efficiency in complex turnout railway sections, small and medium-sized railway maintenance equipment are often used in daily railway maintenance work. These equipment are flexible and low-cost. Among them, the grinding machine used for steel rail turnout repair has been widely used in various railway maintenance work areas and has become an indispensable main equipment in maintenance operations. The turnout grinding device already has a relatively mature system, but there is still no equipment for the technical research of real steel rail turnout grinding and the test research of turnout grinding tool grinding performance under laboratory conditions.

[0003] The operation of the turnout grinding devices with publication numbers CN220789274U, CN111926637A, and CN108396604A is realized by manual pushing feeding and manual loading. During the grinding process, the contact angle of the turnout grinding stone is adjusted to grind the entire turnout rail surface.

[0066] Furthermore, the degree of angle adjustment accuracy of the arc-shaped rack 4113 can be more accurately divided by adjusting the number of teeth and the module, and the angle range of the rack can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The turnout rail 44 is cut and formed by the rail head part, and the cut part is not ground in the actual grinding operation to reduce the weight of the clamped rail; in order to facilitate the calculation of the grinding amount of the turnout rail 44 and analyze the quality after grinding, the turnout swing unit 4 also includes a rail pin 43, and the rail surface of the turnout rail 44 is distributed with countersunk holes for installing the rail pin 43; the length of the rail pin 43 should be less than or equal to the depth of the countersunk hole; the bottom of the turnout rail 44 is drilled with a threaded through hole concentric with the countersunk hole, and the bolt passes through the through hole of the rail frame 42 and the threaded through hole of the turnout rail 44; used to adjust countersink depth; when in use, first measure the initial weight and initial height of the rail pin 43 and the contour of the turnout rail 44; then install the rail pin 43 and insert it into the countersink of the turnout rail 44, adjust the bottom bolt of the turnout rail 44, and adjust the end face height of the rail pin 43 to be consistent with the turnout rail 44; after the turnout rail 44 is polished, measure the contour of the turnout rail 44, then take out the rail pin 43, and measure the weight and height of the rail pin 43 after polishing, so as to calculate the amount of rail polishing; and analyze the surface quality of the rail pin 43, specifically, microscopic analysis such as surface structure and metallographic structure.

[0068] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The pressurizing unit 5 includes a load mechanism 51, a shock absorbing mechanism 52 and a guide mechanism 53; the load mechanism 51 includes a floating joint 512, a servo electric cylinder 511 and a support plate 513. The servo electric cylinder 511 is installed on the support plate 513, and its driving rod is connected to the support plate 513 and the floating joint 512 in sequence. The pressure is applied by the telescopic movement of the driving rod. The load mechanism 51 is used to apply pressure to the turnout swing unit to provide load for the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44.

[0069] It should be noted that the floating joint 512 is usually composed of two connectors, namely a fixed connector and a floating connector. The fixed connector is usually fixedly connected to the main structure, while the floating connector is connected to other equipment such as connectors. The principle of the floating joint 512 is first to use flexible elements, such as metal diaphragms, metal bellows, metal braided sleeves, etc., as compensation components between connectors, which can withstand corresponding displacement and deformation and can return to their original positions. These flexible elements can be freely bent, rotated and compressed, etc., thereby providing movement space between connectors. Secondly, the floating joint 512 usually uses fixed connectors such as bolts or pins to firmly connect the fixed connector and the floating connector. These connectors can be adjusted and fixed within a certain range to adapt to the relative movement between the connectors.

[0070] Furthermore, the shock absorbing mechanism 52 includes a spring support frame 521, a shock absorbing spring 522, a guide rod 523 and a pressure sensor 524. The two spring support frames 521 are connected to the load mechanism 51 and the pressure sensor 524 respectively. The guide rod 523 and the shock absorbing spring 522 are arranged in parallel, and the guide rod 523 passes through the through holes on the two spring support frames 521. The shock absorbing mechanism 52 is used for system shock absorption and pressure maintenance during the rail grinding process. During the grinding process, the elastic force of the shock absorbing spring 522 can not only provide a constant contact load, but also reduce the vibration caused by the rigid contact between the turnout grinder 31 and the turnout rail 44, thereby ensuring the stable grinding process; by setting the guide rod 523, the pressure direction of the shock absorbing spring 522 can be kept unchanged.

[0071] It should be noted that the pressure sensor 524 is used to provide pressure through the telescopic movement of its driving rod. The pressure sensor 524 uses an S-type pressure sensor 524, and the size of the load and pressure can be determined simultaneously through the S-type pressure sensor 524; the load mechanism 51 is connected to the shock absorbing mechanism 52 through the floating joint 512 therein. The floating joint 512 can solve the problem of the shock absorbing mechanism 52 and the load mechanism 51 not being in the same axis, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation; and the movement direction of the load mechanism 51 is parallel to the axis of the turnout mold 31 and the center of the turnout rail 44.

[0072] In addition, in the shock absorbing mechanism 52 , there is no limit on the number of shock absorbing springs 522 and guide rods 523 , which can be set according to actual usage. It only needs to ensure that the shock absorbing springs 522 and guide rods 523 are parallel to the movement direction of the load mechanism 51 .

[0073] Further, the guide mechanism 53 includes a connecting seat 531, a guide rail slider 532, a linear guide rail 534 and a supporting side plate 533. The connecting seat 531 is connected to the turnout swing unit 4 through a pressure sensor 524. The two linear guide rails 534 are installed in parallel on the two supporting side plates 533. The supporting side plates 533 are installed on the second frame 61. The connecting seat 531 is installed on the guide rail slider 532, and the guide rail slider 532 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 23. A mounting step and a mounting hole are provided above the supporting side plate 533. The linear guide rail 534 is connected to the supporting side plate 533 through the mounting hole of the mounting step. The guide rail slider 532 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 531 and installed on the linear guide rail 534, so that the connecting seat 531 can move along the direction of the linear guide rail 534, so as to realize the unidirectional feeding movement of the turnout rail 44 during the pressurization process. The movement direction of the damping mechanism 52 , the sliding direction of the guide mechanism 53 , and the pressurizing direction of the load mechanism 51 are all the same and parallel to the axis of the turnout mold 31 , so that the pressure sensor 524 can detect the positive pressure load.

[0074] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 , and also includes a feeding unit 6, which includes a second frame 61, a drag plate mechanism 62 and a longitudinal feeding mechanism 63, the drag plate mechanism 62 is arranged on the second frame 61, the drag plate mechanism 62 is connected to the pressurizing unit 5, and the movable end of the longitudinal feeding mechanism 63 is connected to the turnout swing unit 4 and the pressurizing unit 5, and is used to drive the turnout swing unit 4 and the pressurizing unit 5 to feed longitudinally, and the feeding unit 6 is used to adjust the initial positions of the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44. The second frame 61 is used to install and fix the carriage mechanism; the carriage mechanism includes a lower carriage 621 and an upper carriage 622; the lower carriage 621 is installed and fixed on the second frame 61, and a dovetail structure is provided on the lower carriage 621 to cooperate with the dovetail groove of the upper carriage 622; the longitudinal feeding mechanism 63 includes a ball screw mechanism 631, a third bevel gear 632, a fourth bevel gear 633, a transmission rod shaft seat 634, a feed transmission rod 635, and a feed handwheel 636; the transmission rod shaft seat 634 is installed and fixed on the second frame 61, and the .... Passing through the feed transmission rod 635; a feed handwheel 636 is installed at one end of the feed transmission rod 635, and a fourth bevel gear is installed at the other end; the ball screw structure passes through the lower drag plate 621 and is connected to the upper drag plate 622; by rotating the feed handwheel 636, the rotation is transmitted to the feed transmission rod 635, the fourth bevel gear 633, the third bevel gear 632, the ball screw mechanism 631 and the upper drag plate 622 in sequence, and the relative position of the upper drag plate 622 with respect to the lower drag plate 621 is adjusted to achieve the initial position adjustment of the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44.

[0075] It should be noted that the longitudinal feeding mechanism 63 can be set according to actual usage conditions, and the longitudinal feeding mechanism 63 can be adjusted so that it has the function of adjusting the longitudinal initial distance and the initial height of the drag plate.

[0076] The above embodiments are merely multiple possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0077] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a rail transit steel rail switch grinding simulation test method, which is applicable to a rail transit steel rail switch grinding simulation test device provided in any one of the above embodiments, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: Cut the rail sample of the head of the turnout rail 44, and use an electronic balance and a profilometer to obtain the initial weight of the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44 and the initial shape profile information of the specified position; measure the initial weight and initial height of the rail pin 43.

[0079] Step 2, install the rail pin 43 on the turnout rail 44, adjust the bolt behind the turnout rail 44 to make the initial height of the rail pin 43 consistent with the turnout rail 44, install the turnout mold 31 on the mold mounting plate 34, install the turnout mold 31 on the rail frame 42, adjust the feed handwheel 636 to make the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44 to a suitable initial distance, lift the steering handle 4123, rotate the steering rod 4121 to the desired position, loosen the steering handle 4123, and engage and fix the rack meshing block 4122 with the arc rack 4113.

[0080] Step 3: Obtain the positive pressure monitoring result through the pressure sensor 524, and adjust the load mechanism 51 according to the positive pressure monitoring result to set the load required for the rail grinding test.

[0081] Step 4, adjust the mold rotating mechanism 32 to the required speed to ensure that the turnout mold 31 runs at a constant speed at a certain rotation speed; adjust the feed motor 222 to set the lateral displacement length and lateral displacement rate; start the servo electric cylinder 511, push out the push rod of the servo electric cylinder 511, so that the turnout rail 44 maintains constant contact with the turnout mold 31 under a constant load, and monitor the temperature of the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44 during the grinding operation through the temperature monitoring mechanism 33; after grinding is completed, close the servo electric cylinder 511, retract the push rod of the servo electric cylinder 511, stop the rotation of the mold rotating mechanism 32, and stop the rotation of the feed motor 222; the turnout mold 31 is out of contact with the turnout rail 44, and grinding stops.

[0082] Step 5: After the grinding test, the turnout grinder 31 is removed and weighed to calculate the mass loss and volume loss of the grinder stone; the profile of the specified position of the turnout rail 44 is measured, the height and weight of the rail pin 43 are measured, and the mass loss and volume loss of the turnout rail 44 are calculated.

[0083] Step 6: Detect the surface morphology of the grinding tool after grinding and analyze the wear behavior of the grinding tool; at the same time, analyze the grinding quality of the rail pin 43; wherein, the profile detection of the turnout grinding tool 31 and the turnout rail 44 after grinding is consistent with that in step 1.

[0084] Step 7: Calculate the friction coefficient and total grinding force of the interface between the grinding tool and the rail during the grinding process by combining the friction torque and normal pressure monitored by the torque sensor 322 and the pressure sensor 524 during the grinding process.

[0085] Step 8. Based on the information of mold rotation speed, lateral movement speed, force analysis during mold grinding, rail grinding temperature, mold wear behavior, rail grinding amount and rail surface quality, technical research on rail turnout grinding and performance testing and product development of turnout mold 31 are carried out.

[0086] The present invention overcomes the defect that the turnout grinding test and the grinding stone performance test of the previous turnout grinding device are significantly affected by manual operation. Through the designed rotary unit 3, turnout swing unit 4, and pressurizing unit 5, the travel speed, travel distance, grinding tool speed, grinding angle, and grinding load are stably adjustable.

[0087] Through the designed reciprocating unit 2, rotary unit 3, turnout swing unit 4, and pressurizing unit 5, the four main influencing parameters of the turnout mold 31, namely, mold moving speed, mold rotating speed, mold grinding angle, and mold grinding pressure, which originally acted in combination, were decomposed into four independent parameters; the controllability and operability of each single parameter under laboratory conditions were improved; the disassembly and replacement process of previous devices and experimental materials was optimized, and the test efficiency was improved;

[0088] Through the designed reciprocating unit 2, the tool feeding motor 222 is used to achieve constant speed and constant displacement instead of manual pushing forward, thereby eliminating the problems of inconsistent and unstable travel speeds and different travel distances caused by manual pushing.

[0089] Through the designed turnout swing unit 4, the previous swinging of the grinding tool to change the contact angle is transformed into the swinging of the rail to change the contact angle, and the composite action parameters of the grinding tool are independently disassembled, the equipment structure is simplified, and the convenience of material replacement is improved.

[0090] Through the designed pressurizing unit 5, the servo electric cylinder 511 is used to provide a stable load and the shock absorbing mechanism 52 is used to maintain the stable contact between the turnout mold 31 and the turnout rail 44; the problems of unstable applied load and poor repeatability caused by manual loading are eliminated, making the adjustment of applied pressure simpler, more efficient and more accurate.

[0091] In the present invention, the travel speed, travel distance, mold rotation speed, turnout contact angle, and grinding load can be freely adjusted, and the testable parameters can be refined, which helps to more efficiently optimize the grinding parameters, more efficiently test the performance of the turnout mold 31, and improve the exploratory nature and reliability of laboratory simulation.

[0092] It can also monitor the grinding pressure, grinding tool speed, friction torque, and grinding temperature in real time during the test, and form a systematic data framework through multi-type data collection. The collected data is compared and analyzed with rail grinding evaluation indicators such as grinding depth, grinding force, wear rate, friction coefficient, grinding ratio, and rail surface quality, providing reliable support for the technical research of rail turnout grinding and the performance testing and product development of turnout grinder 31.

[0093] The specific implementation of the present invention described above does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
