Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of railway welding, and more specifically to the technical field of a single turnout welding construction method based on gas pressure welding. Background Art

[0002] The rail welding methods commonly used worldwide are flash welding, gas pressure welding and thermite welding.

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN118577914A and the patent name "A method for realizing seamless welding of the entire railway line" discloses the following content: The patent uses a flash welder to weld turnouts, and the method mainly lengthens the steel parts in the turnout area to meet the clamping space of the welder, so as to perform welding. However, the lengthening of the steel parts will increase the cost and make transportation difficult.

[0004] my country's railways mainly use thermite welding for welding. Small gas pressure welding machines were once used for turnout welding. However, due to the unstable welding quality and the difficulty in meeting the joint appearance standards, small gas pressure welding has been banned from use in various railway bureaus since 2012. At present, the welding joints in the turnout area of ​​railway turnouts are welded by thermite welding. However, according to the line damage statistics report of the whole railway bureau this year, the safety problems of the weld part are more prominent, among which thermite welding has the highest damage ratio and the situation is more serious. Therefore, it is very necessary and urgent to eliminate thermite welding joints in the turnout area, improve the joint quality, reduce the risk of broken rails, and ensure driving safety, which has important construction innovation significance and economic value. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problems that the current railway turnout area adopts thermite welding, which results in the high proportion of thermite welding joints in the turnout area and the high proportion of line damage. The present invention provides a single-opening turnout welding construction method based on gas pressure welding.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention provides a single turnout welding construction method based on gas pressure welding, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Use pneumatic rail welding machine to achieve accurate clamping of welding joints in narrow areas of turnouts;

[0010] S3. During the welding process, the amount of upsetting is precisely controlled to ensure that the length of the rail after welding meets the size requirements of the turnout;

[0011] S4. After welding, the welding joints shall be polished and inspected to ensure that the welding quality meets the relevant standards.

[0012] Gas pressure welding can achieve precise control of the upset amount. After the turnout joint is welded, it can meet the line locking rail temperature requirements. The gas pressure rail welding machine used can weld the welding joints in the narrow area of ​​the turnout area, and the turnout steel parts can be welded without special lengthening.

[0013] In one embodiment, the turnout area includes a straight guide rail before the turnout, a curved guide rail before the turnout, a straight base rail, a curved base rail, a curved point rail, a straight point rail, an intermediate guide rail, a fork core, and four guide rails after the turnout; all of the above rails constitute four rails;

[0023] In one embodiment, in step S1, the welding sequence includes first welding the base rail of the turnout, then sequentially welding the point rail and frog joint of the turnout, and finally completing the overall welding of the turnout.

[0024] In one embodiment, the welding equipment is capable of controlling the upset amount to ensure the strength and quality of the weld joint, and the upset amount control error is less than ±0.5 mm.

The intervals between each of them are No. 2 joint to be welded, No. 6 joint to be welded, No. 10 joint to be welded and No. 14 joint to be welded.

[0090] The curved point rail and the straight point rail are located between the straight basic rail and the curved basic rail.

[0092] The welded joints in the narrow area of ​​the turnout area include No. 3 welded joint, No. 4 welded joint, No. 5 welded joint, No. 6 welded joint, No. 7 welded joint, No. 8 welded joint, No. 9 welded joint and No. 10 welded joint;

[0093] All welding joints are located at the corresponding joints to be welded; the welding equipment can adapt to the narrow welding area of ​​the turnout area.

[0094] Specifically, the pneumatic rail welding machine can clamp the No. 3 welding joint, No. 4 welding joint, No. 5 welding joint, No. 6 welding joint, No. 7 welding joint, No. 8 welding joint, No. 9 welding joint and No. 10 welding joint in the narrow area of ​​the turnout area, and can realize the welding of the joints in the entire fork area without special lengthening of the turnout steel parts (≤100mm).

[0095] In one embodiment, in step S1, the welding sequence includes first welding the base rail of the turnout, then sequentially welding the point rail and frog joint of the turnout, and finally completing the overall welding of the turnout.

[0096] In one embodiment, the welding equipment is capable of controlling the upset amount to ensure the strength and quality of the weld joint, and the upset amount control error is less than ±0.5 mm.

[0097] In one embodiment, the welding sequence includes:

[0098] S21, first weld the welding joints of the turnout stock rail, that is, first weld the No. 3 welding joint and the No. 6 welding joint in sequence;

[0101] S24. Finally, weld the inner welding joint of the frog part, and weld the No. 8 welding joint and the No. 9 welding joint in sequence.

[0102] Specifically, the welding operation sequence can be flexibly adjusted according to on-site construction conditions to ensure that the welding process is completed efficiently.

[0103] Due to the above-mentioned technical characteristics, various turnout welding construction operations can be realized by adjusting the construction operation sequence, including in-situ welding of turnout steel parts on new lines, replacement of entire groups of turnouts on existing lines, and in-situ replacement of turnout steel parts on existing lines.

[0104] In one embodiment, after welding is completed, all welded joints are subjected to ultrasonic flaw detection and appearance inspection to ensure that the welding quality meets the railway standard requirements.

[0105] In one embodiment, precise rail temperature control is used during the welding process to ensure that the welded joint is made at the rail locking rail temperature to avoid excessive internal stress in the rail after welding.

[0106] In one embodiment, the method for calculating the rail length before welding is:

[0107] L=X+a1+a2+u1+u2+4×b+2×d;

[0108] Among them, u1 and u2 represent the length of the mark, a1 and a2 represent the weld width, b represents the end milling amount of one end, and d represents the welding upsetting amount.

[0109] In one embodiment, the welding equipment is installed on a road-rail vehicle or a train flatbed with a single-arm crane, and can be flexibly moved on the construction site to adapt to different construction environments.

[0113] The spacing between the No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 welding joints is narrow, so the straight and curved basic rails need to be pulled outwards by 100-200mm for clamping welding. The remaining welding joints are welded according to the requirements of gas pressure welding based on the on-site construction conditions.

[0114] Calculation method for rail matching before welding:
