Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rail damage monitoring, and in particular to a clamping installation structure and an installation method for a rail damage monitoring sensor. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of high-speed rail has significantly boosted national economic and social development. However, it has also placed higher demands on the safety of railway systems. To ensure efficient and safe operation of high-speed rail, sensors are currently widely used to detect damage on high-speed rail rails. These sensors typically require mounting structures to secure them to the rails.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221345143U discloses a mounting structure for a rail displacement sensor. The mounting structure is designed to strengthen the fixing mechanism. When the mounting base fixes the displacement sensor at the position of use, the wrench enters from the side of the connecting groove and engages with the end of the threaded rod. The wrench drives the threaded rod to rotate. When the threaded rod is screwed in, it moves and squeezes the moving plate. When the moving plate moves, it drives the limit slider to be controlled inside the limit slide groove, and the stable movement of the moving plate drives the anti-slip squeezing plate to be squeezed on the lower surface of the displacement sensor for reinforcement, so that the mounting base can strengthen the fixation of the displacement sensor.

[0004] However, when the mounting structure is used, when the device needs to be fixed on the rail, holes need to be drilled on the rail so that the mounting base can be fixed on the rail with bolts. The operation is relatively cumbersome and cannot meet the use requirements well. Summary of the Invention
