Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rail transit vibration reduction and noise reduction, and in particular to a liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration reduction fastener. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of urban rail transit has attracted more and more people to live near the lines and in the buildings above the depots, but the vibration and noise problems caused by the operation of trains have also brought negative impacts on the lives of residents along the lines. Therefore, vibration reduction and noise reduction have become urgent issues to be solved in the operation of rail transit. The use of vibration reduction fasteners is one of the effective measures to alleviate the vibration and noise of existing lines and depot tracks.

[0003] In the prior art, the design of vibration-damping fasteners is usually carried out from the perspective of giving full play to the elasticity of rubber, so a sandwich structure of stacked iron plates and rubber pads is often used. However, this structure has a higher installation height than ordinary fasteners, which is not conducive to the modification of existing track heights and brings inconvenience to the design and construction of new lines. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the height of vibration-damping fasteners while ensuring the vibration-damping performance of fasteners has become the research focus and focus in this field. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration reduction fastener to achieve low-height installation of the fastener, thereby replacing the traditional ordinary fastener. In addition, the elasticity provided by the gas compression characteristics and the damping provided by the oil viscosity can improve the rail vibration reduction performance and ensure the stability and safety of train operation.

[0005] The above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration damping fastener, comprising a rail support plate, a frame base, a vulcanized rubber structure, a bottom plate, an elastic unit, and oil. The rail support plate is sleeved inside the frame base and is enclosed as a whole by the vulcanized rubber structure to form an open cavity. The open cavity is filled with the elastic unit and the oil and is sealed and connected to the bottom plate.

[0007] The middle part of the rail support plate is recessed downward to form a rail support groove, so that the space at both ends of the open chamber is larger than the space of the open chamber at the bottom of the groove.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention: a mounting boss is arranged on the rail support plate, and a spring bar is installed on the mounting boss.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention: a limit baffle is arranged on the frame base.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the frame base is provided with threaded holes, the bottom of the bottom plate is provided with bolt holes, and the bottom plate is sealed and connected to the bottom of the frame base by bolts.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the vulcanized rubber structure vulcanizes and bonds the rail support plate and the frame base into an open cavity wrapped by rubber, and an extrusion sealing structure is arranged at the bottom of the vulcanized rubber structure.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the base plate is provided with an elliptical opening or a circular opening on a diagonal line or on all sides thereof for connecting to the sleepers.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the bottom plate is provided with bosses around its circumference, and the bosses are used to limit the vertical displacement of the rails.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the elastic unit is an inflatable hollow rubber body or a composite elastic deformable body.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the present invention: a damping plate is arranged in the open cavity, and a plurality of damping holes are opened on the damping plate.

[0016] In summary, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. The liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration damping fastener breaks the design concept of traditional fasteners that generally use rubber solid vibration damping media; it uses the compression characteristics of gas to provide elasticity and the viscosity of oil to provide damping; it forms a new rail fastener vibration damping solution. The middle part of the rail support plate is recessed downward to form a rail support groove, so that the space at both ends of the open chamber is larger than the open chamber space at the bottom of the groove, thereby realizing the low-height installation of the fastener, which is convenient for replacing traditional ordinary fasteners.

[0018] 2. Liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration-damping fasteners have large load-bearing capacity, simple structure, and vibration-damping performance that can be quantified in design. Since the pressure at each position and direction in the oil is equal, each elastic body surface is subjected to uniform pressure, so the stiffness characteristics of the elastic body can be accurately calculated, and the design can be optimized by adjusting the number and structure of the elastomers, the hardness of the vulcanized rubber structure, the pre-compression of the fastener, and the viscosity of the oil.

[0019] 3. The liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration damping fastener is wrapped with vulcanized rubber and uses a base plate for static sealing. It has the advantages of reliable sealing and no oil leakage. Pre-inflation of the elastomer also avoids the problem of slow gas leakage. There is no need to install auxiliary air pressure monitoring and inflation equipment, which enhances the practicality of the technology. The vulcanization process effectively enhances the corrosion resistance, aging resistance and insulation performance of the fastener.

[0020] 4. The liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration-damping fastener adopts vertical limit design and lateral anti-overturning design to ensure the safety of train operation.

[0021] 5. Liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration reduction fasteners adopt a combined assembly method to achieve pre-assembly and facilitate transportation and on-site construction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In this embodiment, the elastic unit 5 is a pre-inflated elastic unit, and the oil 6 is a damping oil.

[0035] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 The bottom of the rail support plate 1 is provided with a accommodating chamber that is staggered in front and back or symmetrical in left and right. The rail support plate 1 is provided with a mounting boss 9 that is staggered in front and back or symmetrical in left and right. The mounting boss 9 is provided with a spring bar 13.

[0041] The elastic unit 5 and the oil 6 of this embodiment are designed to be adjustable; the rigidity and damping design is targeted according to the vibration reduction requirements of the line. The vibration reduction function of the fastener is achieved by adjusting the material hardness and initial air pressure of the elastic unit, the viscosity and initial oil pressure of the oil 6 and other parameters.

[0045] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 This embodiment retains the basic features of fasteners connecting and constraining the rails 11, bearing loads, and adjusting the geometry of the line. The rail support plate 1 is provided with mounting bosses 9 staggered in front and back or symmetrically in the left and right; the rail 11 presses the spring bar 13 in the middle of the mounting boss 9 through the T-bolt 12 to prevent the longitudinal and lateral displacement of the rail 11; the frame base 2 is staggered in front and back or symmetrically provided with limit baffles 8 to limit the torsion of the rail 11 caused by the lateral force of the wheel and rail when the train is running; the bottom plate 4 is provided with bosses 7 around the circumference to limit the vertical displacement of the rail 11, thereby preventing driving safety problems caused by fastener failure.

[0046] Embodiment 2:

[0047] Reference Figure 5 A liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration reduction fastener is different from the first embodiment in that the damping is improved by setting a damping plate 19, so as to give full play to the vibration reduction effect of the present invention; the damping plate 19 divides the closed chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, which are connected through a plurality of damping holes 20, and an elastic unit 5 is placed in the upper chamber or the lower chamber; the track support plate 1 and the damping plate 19 move together, causing the volume of the upper and lower chambers to change, so that the oil 6 flows through the damping holes 20 to achieve energy dissipation.

[0048] Embodiment three:

[0049] Reference Figure 6 A liquid-gas hybrid rail vibration reduction fastener is different from the second embodiment in that a damping plate 19 is connected to a base plate 4, thereby dividing a sealed chamber into an upper layer and a lower layer, and the two layers are connected through a plurality of damping holes 20, and an elastic unit 5 is placed in the upper chamber or the lower chamber; the damping plate 19 is fixed, and the movement of the support plate 1 causes the volume of the upper and lower chambers to change, so that the oil 6 flows through the damping holes 20 to realize energy dissipation.

[0050] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the wheel-rail load caused by the unevenness of the wheel-rail is transmitted to the rail support plate 1 of the fastener through the rail 9; since the oil 6 is basically incompressible; it acts as a bearing medium to instantly transmit the oil pressure into the sealed chamber; causing the oil pressure in the chamber to rise or fall; causing the pressure gas in the elastic unit to contract or expand under the oil pressure as an elastic medium; storing elastic potential energy through the change of the volume and state of the elastic unit; the viscosity of the oil 6 acts as an energy-consuming medium to consume vibration energy through flow; thereby greatly isolating and consuming the vibration energy transmitted from the wheel-rail load to the foundation. Specifically, in the process of the train approaching and moving away from the fastener; the fastener is mainly subjected to the high-frequency small-load vibration caused by the rail 11; the initial low-rigidity part of the present invention is used for vibration isolation; when the train acts on the fastener; the fastener is mainly subjected to the low-frequency large-load impact of the wheel-rail; and the vibration energy is consumed by the large damping characteristics of the oil when it flows in the present invention.

[0051] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
