Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to detection equipment technology, and in particular to a length measuring device for rail detection. Background Art
[0002] When a train is running on the track, the rolling, traction, braking and the temperature stress of the seamless line will cause the rail to move longitudinally, which is called rail creep. If the rail creep is too large, the rail will not be able to produce large tensile and compressive stresses. In severe cases, it may cause rail breakage or expansion accidents, affecting driving safety.
[0003] Length measuring devices for rail inspection are mainly used in railway maintenance and inspection to ensure that the length and condition of the rails meet the standards and avoid safety problems caused by length changes or damage.
[0004] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117968618B discloses a rail straightness detection device, in which, when the rail is transferred, the movable support wheel is in the middle position, and the movable support wheel is against the waist of the rail, thereby preventing the rail from tipping over during the transfer process; when the rail is at the lower side of the straightness detection unit for detection; during the rising process of the fixed lifting unit, the movable bracket is driven to slide along the movable sliding shaft, so that the movable support wheel moves to both sides, and after the fixed lifting unit contacts the rail, the rail is separated from the transfer surface of the conveyor roller; then the straightness detection unit performs contact-type straightness detection on the top of the rail.
[0005] When using existing equipment, the accuracy of manual inspection is easily affected by the proficiency and state of the inspectors, especially fatigue after long-term work, which increases the error rate in the measurement process.

Due to the poor overall flexibility, the inspection efficiency is greatly reduced, and when the adjustment is completed and fixed, the overall fluctuation is easy to occur, thereby affecting the subsequent inspection results.

[0024] Example: See Figure 1-Figure 9 A length measuring device for rail inspection includes a rail 1, and a locking component 2 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the rail 1 and fixed to the outer surface of the rail 1 through the locking component 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the driving member 24 is a device with power output such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. When the driving member 24 is started, it synchronously drives the rotating drum 25 arranged at its output end to rotate. At the same time, when the rotating drum 25 rotates, the first arc groove 251 and the second arc groove 252 arranged on its outer surface are driven to rotate, and the rotating drum 25 is supported by the baffle 23.
[0027] At the same time, the docking block 22 is used to dock the positioning assembly 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning assembly 3.
[0028] Furthermore, a positioning shaft 26 is disposed at the end of the baffle 23 , and a swing plate 261 is disposed at the end of the positioning shaft 26 . The outer surface of the end of the swing plate 261 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second arc-shaped groove 252 .
[0029] Specifically, the positioning shaft 26 is supported by the connecting block. When the drum 25 rotates, the second arc groove 252 provided on its outer surface drives the swing plate 261 to swing, wherein the end of the swing plate 261 is connected to the end of the positioning shaft 26, thereby driving the positioning shaft 26 to rotate.
[0030] Furthermore, an adjustment plate 27 is provided at one end of the positioning shaft 26 away from the swing plate 261, a support plate 271 is provided at one end of the adjustment plate 27, a positioning rod 272 is provided at the end of the support plate 271, a roller 273 is provided at the end of the positioning rod 272, and the outer surface of the roller 273 is in contact with the outer surface of the track 1.
[0031] Specifically, when the positioning shaft 26 rotates, the adjustment plate 27 disposed at its end is synchronously driven to rotate, and when the adjustment plate 27 rotates, the support plate 271 disposed at its end is driven to move, and at the same time, the positioning rod 272 drives the roller 273 to move, so that the roller 273 moves to a suitable position.
[0032] Furthermore, a movable block 28 is slidably installed at one end of the adjustment plate 27 away from the support plate 271, a guide groove 281 is opened at the end of the movable block 28, the inner wall of the guide groove 281 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the end of the adjustment plate 27, a moving rod 282 is provided at the end of the movable block 28, and a pressing block 283 is provided at the end of the moving rod 282.
[0033] Specifically, when the adjustment plate 27 rotates, the movable block 28 away from one end of the support plate 271 is driven to move, and the movable block 28 is driven to move, and then the moving rod 282 set at the upper end of the movable block 28 is synchronously driven to move. Since a pressing block 283 is set at the end of the moving rod 282, the track 1 is fixed by the pressing block 283.
[0034] Furthermore, a limiting plate 29 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the movable rod 282, and a slider 291 is provided at the middle position of the end of the limiting plate 29. The outer surface of the slider 291 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first arc-shaped groove 251. At the same time, a movable rod 292 is provided on the outer surface of the limiting plate 29, and both ends of the movable rod 292 are connected to the inner wall of the baffle 23.
[0035] Specifically, the slider 291 at the end of the limit plate 29 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first arc groove 251, thereby driving the limit plate 29 to move, wherein the limit plate 29 is limited by the movable rod 292 so that the limit plate 29 will not be disturbed when moving.
[0036] Furthermore, a squeeze block 211 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 21, and the end of the squeeze block 211 is in contact with the outer surface of the track 1. A protrusion 274 is provided on the end of the roller 273, and a push plate 284 is provided on the end of the pressing block 283, and the outer surface of the push plate 284 is in contact with the outer surface of the protrusion 274.
[0037] Specifically, the track 1 is locked by the extrusion block 211 in cooperation with the pressing block 283 so that no shaking occurs during detection. At the same time, when fixing, the protrusion 274 is pressed by the push plate 284 so that the roller 273 remains stable as a whole.
[0038] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 3 is assembled on the upper end of the docking block 22, and the measuring device is fixed by the positioning assembly 3. The positioning assembly 3 includes a clamping plate 31 connected to the docking block 22, a support column 33 is provided at the end of the clamping plate 31, and a bottom plate 34 is provided at the end of the support column 33. A telescopic member 32 is provided at the middle position of the upper end of the clamping plate 31, and the output end of the telescopic member 32 passes through and extends to the other end of the bottom plate 34.
[0039] Specifically, the telescopic member 32 is a device with a telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod, and is connected to an external control device, while supporting the bottom plate 34 through the support column 33.
[0040] An annular block is provided at the lower end of the clamping plate 31, and the annular block is docked with the docking block 22, so that positioning components 3 of different specifications can be replaced according to actual conditions to make them suitable for different scenarios.
[0041] Furthermore, a fixed cylinder 35 is provided at the upper end of the bottom plate 34, a conical block 36 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 35, and the lower end of the conical block 36 is connected to the output end of the telescopic member 32.

[0042] Specifically, when the telescopic member 32 is started, the conical block 36 arranged at its output end is synchronously driven to move. Since the end of the power rod 37 is in contact with the outer surface of the conical block 36, when the conical block 36 moves, the power rod 37 is squeezed, so that the power rod 37 moves outward along the power groove 354 and pushes the clamping block 38 installed on the fixed cylinder 35 to rotate.
[0043] Furthermore, a clamping block 38 corresponding to the power groove 354 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the fixing cylinder 35. A limiting groove 351 is provided at the upper end of the outer surface of the fixing cylinder 35, and an elastic member 352 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 351. At the same time, an extension rod 353 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the limiting groove 351, and the end of the extension rod 353 is connected to the end of the elastic member 352.
[0044] Specifically, when the clamp 38 rotates, the laser detection equipment placed on the fixed cylinder 35 is locked to ensure that the laser equipment does not shake during operation, and when the entire equipment is moved, the laser equipment is first removed and then reassembled after being moved to a suitable position to reduce the risk of terrible damage to the laser equipment.
[0045] The elastic member 352 and the extension rod 353 of the inner wall of the groove 351 are fitted to the outer surface of the clamping block 38, so that after the conical block 36 returns to the initial position, the elastic member 352 and the extension rod 353 push the clamping block 38 to rotate, thereby separating the clamping block 38 from the laser device. The elastic member 352 is an elastic member such as a spring.
[0046] The control device can select a single-chip microcomputer as the control end. In this embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer is a typical embedded microcontroller (Micro controller unit), which is composed of an arithmetic unit, a controller, a memory, an input and output device, etc., which is equivalent to a microcomputer. Compared with the general-purpose microprocessor used in personal computers, it emphasizes self-supply (no external hardware) and cost saving. Its biggest advantage is that it is small in size and can be placed inside the instrument, but it has a small storage capacity, a simple input and output interface, and low functional consumption.
[0047] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
