Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rail transit engineering, and more particularly to a vibration-damping fastener with a rail support used in curved sections of urban rail transit. Background Art

[0002] In order to offset the centrifugal force generated by vehicles when turning, urban rail transit will set the outer rail superelevation in curved sections. The purpose of this design is to allow the vehicle to naturally tilt inward, thereby balancing the centrifugal force and ensuring safe and smooth driving. However, on small radius curves, since a larger outer rail superelevation is required to effectively cope with the strong centrifugal force, if the train speed is too fast or too slow, the design of the outer rail superelevation may not be able to accurately match the actual required centripetal force compensation value, resulting in an increase in the imbalance of centrifugal force and centripetal force in some sections. This imbalance will cause the lateral force on the rail to be unevenly distributed, and increase the dynamic bending stress and displacement of the rail in the lateral direction. In the long run, this will not only reduce the lateral stability of the track structure, but may also weaken its overall strength, thereby affecting the safety of the track.

[0003] On the other hand, the wheel-rail contact in curved sections is complex, often accompanied by vibration and noise. In reality, vibration reduction and noise reduction are often achieved by installing vibration reduction fasteners. Since the overall stiffness of vibration reduction fasteners is significantly lower than that of ordinary fasteners, when the train passes through the curved section, the rails are prone to camber, resulting in corrugation and other phenomena in the curved section, which affects the service life of the rails.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the safety of using vibration-damping fasteners in curved sections of urban rail transit and extend the service life of rail equipment has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

The fastener is fixed to the rail support on the outside of the curved rail through a fixing device, and fits tightly with the lower jaw, rail waist and rail bottom area on the outside of the curved rail. It can effectively improve the ability of the rail to resist inclination when the train passes through a small radius curve.

[0019] The vibration-damping fastener with rail support for curved sections of urban rail transit provided by the present invention is arranged on the sleeper 7 of the curved section, and includes elastic bars 5, curved rails 2, rail pads 21, vibration-damping components 1, polymer height-adjusting pads 6, rail supports 3, anchor bolts 4, safety limit devices 41, etc.

[0020] The rail support 3 is fixed to the outer side of the curved rail 2 by a fixing device, and is closely fitted with the lower jaw, rail waist and rail bottom area of ​​the outer side of the curved rail 2, effectively improving the ability of the rail to resist outward inclination when the train passes through a small radius curve. The preferred rail support 3 is an L-shaped structure.

[0021] The vibration reduction assembly 1 comprises an upper iron pad 11, a middle rubber pad 12, and a lower iron pad 13. Preferably, the vibration reduction assembly 1 has a height of 55-60 mm.

[0022] The upper iron pad 11, the lower iron pad 13 and the middle rubber pad 12 are integrated into one by vulcanization process, which ensures a firm connection between the iron pad and the rubber pad, and can maintain a good track geometry even under complex and changeable track conditions, thereby improving driving safety.

[0023] The upper and lower iron plates 11, 13 are made of cast iron, and their length is preferably 350-360 mm, and their width is preferably 205-215 mm.

[0024] A polymer height-adjusting pad 6 is placed between the lower iron pad 13 and the sleeper 7, which can not only adjust the height of the vibration damping assembly 1 and prevent hard contact between the lower iron pad 13 and the sleeper 7, but also prevent the stray current on the track from causing electrical corrosion to the sleeper 7 structure. Multiple layers of polymer height-adjusting pads 6 can be placed near the outer side to adjust the height difference between the inner and outer sides of the curved rail 2; preferably, the polymer height-adjusting pad 6 has a thickness of 1-2 mm.

[0025] On the inner side of the curved rail 2, the vibration reduction assembly 1 is first fixed to the sleeper 7 by the anchor bolt 4, and then the curved rail 2 is fixed to the vibration reduction assembly 1 by the buckle assembly 14, so that the inner end of the curved rail 2 is relatively fixed to the sleeper 7. On the outer side of the curved rail 2, the anchor bolt 4 passes through the spring bar 5, the rail support 3, the upper iron pad 11, the middle rubber pad 12, the lower iron pad 13, and the polymer height adjustment pad 6 in sequence, so as to fix the curved rail 2 above the sleeper 7.

[0030] A safety limit device 41 is arranged in the screw hole of the anchor bolt 4. The safety limit device 41 can penetrate the upper iron pad 11, the lower iron pad 13 and the middle rubber pad 12, or can only penetrate the upper iron pad 11 and the middle rubber pad 12 to prevent the bolt from having insufficient torque resulting in insufficient buckling pressure or excessive torque, resulting in excessive deformation of the rubber pad.
