Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of railway maintenance, and in particular relates to a track operation and maintenance full-cycle loading and track bed maintenance simulation test device and test method. Background Art

[0002] To date, ballasted tracks still occupy an important position in the global railway system. For a long time, this type of track has been widely used in the field of railway transportation. However, with the continuous effect of train cyclic loads and the increasing environmental impact, ballasted tracks are facing increasingly serious problems such as track loss and ballast bed degradation. In particular, the sleepers and gravel ballast beds in the tracks often suffer from deterioration phenomena such as cracks, voids and uneven settlement due to the influence of long-term loads and environmental factors. These problems will not only cause the deviation of the track geometry and reduce the smoothness of the track structure, but also accelerate the deterioration of the overall track system and affect the stability of train operation.

[0003] In the relevant technology, in response to the above-mentioned deterioration problem of ballasted tracks, maintenance measures such as tamping and ballast blowing are usually adopted in engineering to restore the geometry of the track and the bearing capacity of the ballast bed. Tamping is a method of vibrating and compacting the ballast bed to readjust the density of the ballast under the sleepers, thereby improving the stability of the track, restoring the smoothness of the track, and reducing the uneven settlement of the sleepers. Ballast blowing is mainly used to remove fine particles and impurities in the ballast bed, improve the drainage performance of the ballast bed, prevent water accumulation from negatively affecting the structural performance of the ballast bed, and reduce the occurrence of phenomena such as frost heave and mud. Regular tamping and ballast blowing maintenance can slow the progress of track deterioration and reduce subsequent maintenance costs and frequency.

[0004] In order to ensure the maintenance effect of ballasted track, field tests are usually required to explore the mechanical properties of the ballasted track bed during the full cycle of cyclic loading and maintenance, as well as the changes in track bed performance. Field tests can obtain actual performance data of the track system under real operating conditions and comprehensively evaluate the long-term performance of the track. However, field tests face multiple difficulties, including high costs and high manpower investment, long test cycles, difficult to control environmental factors, non-repeatable test results, and safety risks.

[0040] The loading assembly 2 includes a multi-channel hydraulic cylinder 21 and a rigid crossbeam 22. The multi-channel hydraulic cylinder 21 is arranged longitudinally and connected to the top bracket 111. The rigid crossbeam 22 is arranged transversely above the base 1 and connected to the telescopic end of the multi-channel hydraulic cylinder 21. Exemplarily, in the initial state, the telescopic end of the multi-channel hydraulic cylinder 21 is in a retracted state, and the rigid crossbeam 22 connected thereto is raised to the highest height, providing space for the test preparation work on the base 1 below to avoid interference.

[0041] The curing assembly 3 is arranged at intervals from the loading assembly 2. It includes a ballast blowing device 31, a tamping clamp 32 and a lifting device 33. The ballast blowing device 31 includes a material receiving box 311 and a ballast blowing pipe 312. The material receiving box 311 and the tamping clamp 32 are both escalably connected to the top hanger 111 through the lifting device 33, and the ballast blowing pipe 312 is longitudinally connected to the bottom of the material receiving box 311. Exemplarily, in the initial state, the ballast blowing device 31 and the tamping clamp 32 are both driven by the lifting device 33 to be lifted to the highest height to provide space for the test preparation work on the base 1 below to avoid interference.

[0042] A group of lugs 41 are protruding from the top of the opposite side walls of the track bed box 4, and a track limit groove 411 arranged in the longitudinal direction is arranged on the lug 41. The track bed box 4 is slidably connected to the base 1 and is configured to slide horizontally between the loading assembly 2 and the maintenance assembly 3. A plurality of groups of jacks 12 arranged at intervals are arranged on the base 1 below the maintenance assembly 3 along the sliding direction of the track bed box 4, and the spacing direction of each group of jacks 12 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the track bed box 4. Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present invention, four jacks 12 are provided, which are hydraulic cylinders configured in a one-to-four configuration.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the track operation and maintenance full cycle loading and roadbed maintenance simulation test device is fixedly installed in the laboratory through the base 1. The mounting frame 11 on the base 1 uses multiple columns 112 evenly spaced and arranged in an array as support. The top is connected by a comprehensive set of transverse columns to form a frame-type top hanger 111, which provides a mounting and installation platform for the equipment in the loading component 2 and the maintenance component 3. Its overall frame structure also leaves a large amount of equipment and roadbed box 4 installation and activity space at the bottom. The top hanger 111 is rectangular as a whole. In its length direction, the loading component 2 and the maintenance component 3 are installed on the top hanger 111 at intervals, and the roadbed box 4 is slidably installed below along its length direction. In the moving direction of the ballast box 4, a corresponding guide rail 13 is provided on the base 1 for position limiting and guiding. The ballast box 4 can be slidably mounted on the guide rail 13. A winch 14 is provided at both ends of the guide rail 13, and is respectively connected to both ends of the ballast box 4 through a cable 141, which together with the jack 12 constitutes a traction and track lifting assembly provided for the ballast box 4. According to the test requirements, the cable 141 can be retracted and released by the winches 14 on both sides, so that the ballast box 4 can be adjusted in position below the loading assembly 2 and the maintenance assembly 3 to realize the cyclic test operation.

[0044] When conducting a maintenance test of a ballasted track, first fill the ballast stone prepared in advance in layers in the ballast box 4 to form a ballast and pressurize it to make it compact to meet the test requirements, and then fix the sleepers m and rails n on the ballast. The two ends of the rails m are inserted into the lugs 41 through the rail limit grooves 411, and the rails n are limited in the horizontal direction from both ends by the rail limit grooves 411. In the vertical direction, the rails m are located at the top of the longitudinally arranged rail limit grooves 411 in the initial erection state, and this position is used as the test reference. Through the above-mentioned setting of the ballast box 4, the actual ballasted track section that needs to be maintained is simulated.

[0045] After that, slide the track box 4 under the loading assembly 2, input the load loading program into the servo loading system of the upper computer according to the historical data of actual train travel, and use the multi-channel hydraulic cylinder 21 to drive the rigid crossbeam 22 to press down the rail track n to implement loading, so as to simulate the train load and conduct a loading test. After completing a loading cycle, record the settlement distance of the rail track n as test data. Among them, a scale line 4111 can be set on the side of the track limit groove 411. After the loading operation, the rail track m located at the top of the longitudinally arranged track limit groove 411 will produce settlement, and the test personnel can obtain its settlement distance at a glance according to the position change of the scale line 4111 corresponding to its side.

[0046] Furthermore, after completing the loading test to simulate the settlement of the track, the ballast box 4 is slid to the bottom of the maintenance assembly 3, and the rail track n is lifted up to the top of the track limit groove 411 from both ends by using the jack 12. The track is lifted by lifting, which is convenient for the ballast bed tamping or ballast blowing maintenance. The ballast between the sleepers to be maintained is removed by using a shovel tool to expose the area to be ballast blown under the sleeper m. The ballast blowing pipe 312 is driven down into the ballast bed by the lifting device 33, and the ballast material to be supplemented in the material receiving box 311 is blown out by the ballast blowing port at the end of the ballast blowing pipe 312 to realize the ballast blowing operation.

[0047] If tamping is required, the lifting device 33 is used to drive the tamping clamp 32 to descend and extend into the roadbed. The vibration and impact force of the tamping clamp 32 compact the ballast from both sides of the sleeper to achieve tamping. According to the actual settlement of the track, the ballast blowing operation and the tamping operation can be performed independently or sequentially to achieve maintenance simulation experiments under different maintenance requirements. After the maintenance and settlement relief are finally completed, the rail n will be lifted up to the top of the track limit groove 411 again.

[0048] After completing a ballast blowing and / or tamping maintenance simulation experiment, the corresponding indicators of the ballast bed in the ballast bed box 4 are inspected according to the standards for the longitudinal resistance, lateral resistance, support stiffness and ballast bed density of the ballast bed in the high-speed railway ballasted track line maintenance rules (trial) of the Ministry of Railways of the People's Republic of China. If the standards are met, multiple rounds of steps 2 and 3 are cycled in sequence to carry out the full cycle loading cycle of the ballast bed operation and maintenance, and the corresponding test data are repeatedly recorded. Finally, the test personnel can evaluate the maintenance effect of the actual maintenance work in the corresponding track section based on the loading amount of the simulated train load, the blowing amount of the ballast blowing operation, the frequency and loading amount of the tamping operation, and the change in the settlement distance of the rail track, so as to provide a technical reference for the maintenance and long-term performance prediction of the ballasted track.

And move to the bottom of the loading component 2 and the maintenance component 3 in turn to carry out the cyclic simulation experiment of loading, ballast blowing and / or tamping, without the need to carry out the actual track and vehicle operation on the spot, saving a lot of labor and equipment costs, and avoiding the interference of external environmental factors.

[0060] Specifically, in this step, the standard for performing ballast blowing and / or tamping operations using the maintenance component 3 is to compare the height of the rail track n after maintenance with the height before the loading simulation through the scale line 4111 set next to the track limit groove 411. If the heights are the same, it means that they have returned to the original state.

[0062] The track operation and maintenance full-cycle loading and ballast bed maintenance simulation test device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is used to simulate the maintenance of the ballasted track through the above-mentioned test method. The device provides an installation foundation in the laboratory through the base 1 and the mounting frame 11 to mount the loading component 2 for providing the downward pressure load, and the maintenance component 3 for simulating the ballast blowing process and the tamping process. A ballast bed box 4 is slidably arranged below the loading component 2 and the maintenance component 3. The ballast bed can be loaded by the ballast bed box 4 to form the ballast bed, and the sleepers and rail tracks n are arranged at the upper opening to simulate the ballasted track section that actually needs to be maintained. And move to the bottom of the loading component 2 and the maintenance component 3 in turn to carry out the cyclic simulation experiment of loading, ballast blowing and / or tamping, without the need to carry out actual track and vehicle operations on the spot, saving a lot of labor and equipment costs, and avoiding the interference of external environmental factors. It can simulate the on-site loading and maintenance cycle test of ballasted track, obtain test data conveniently and safely, and provide technical reference for the maintenance and long-term performance prediction of ballasted track.
