Technical Field

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

[0002] Traditional turnout inspection methods often rely on manual labor and are inefficient. New inspection methods usually install the inspection equipment on the rails through a fixed structure, achieving relative stillness with the rails, realizing anti-loosening and anti-rotation functions, and can monitor the turnout status in real time, thereby better discovering and preventing safety risks.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with authorization publication number CN211475435U discloses a fixing device for a rail acceleration sensor, which alleviates the technical problems in the prior art that the acceleration sensor is inconvenient to install on the rail and difficult to ensure the stability of long-term monitoring.

[0004] However, when the device is used, the fixing mechanism is installed from the bottom of the rail. When the clamping structure is aged and damaged and needs to be disassembled, the rail needs to be removed first before the clamping structure can be disassembled. The operation is relatively cumbersome and cannot meet the use requirements well. Summary of the Invention
