AI Technical Summary
When the existing scissor fork is connected to the sleeper, the movable sleeper may become skewed due to uneven longitudinal expansion and contraction stress, requiring manual repositioning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The shape memory alloy leaf spring is combined with the scissor fork body. The shape memory alloy leaf spring automatically resets when the scissor fork is deformed, which drives the movable sleeper to reset. The reset is controlled by the heating layer of resistance wire.
It achieves self-resetting of the scissor fork, with the scissor fork body automatically resetting, reducing manual maintenance time, improving railway maintenance efficiency, and lowering maintenance costs.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rail transit, in particular to a scissors fork with a shape memory alloy sheet spring for a beam end lifting sleeper device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The beam end expansion device is an important component of a bridge. In order to enable vehicles to pass through the bridge smoothly and safely and meet the need of structural deformation, various devices are arranged at the bridge deck expansion joint 100. The expansion device effectively ensures the continuity and smoothness of the track. When the beam joint is large, a cross short rail, i.e., a movable track sleeper 200, needs to be arranged at the beam joint. The cross short rail needs to be connected with the fixed track sleepers 300 at both ends of the beam joint to form a whole, and the connecting device generally adopts a scissors fork structure (scissors fork body 1), such as the scissors fork disclosed in the prior art with the publication number CN208250913U and the name of beam end lifting sleeper device.
[0003] However, the scissors fork and the track sleeper are connected by bolts. When the movable track sleeper 200 is skewed due to uneven longitudinal expansion stress, or the scissors fork is skewed out of the plane, manual resetting by an inspection personnel is often required, which is time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a scissors fork with a shape memory alloy sheet spring for a beam end lifting sleeper device capable of realizing self-resetting is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a scissors fork with a shape memory alloy sheet spring for a beam end lifting sleeper device capable of realizing self-resetting.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A scissors fork with a shape memory alloy sheet spring for a beam end lifting sleeper device, comprising:
[0008] A scissors fork body, both ends of the scissors fork body are hingedly connected to the fixed track sleepers on both sides of the expansion joint, and the middle part of the scissors fork body is hingedly connected to the movable track sleeper located at the expansion joint;
[0009] A shape memory alloy sheet spring, the shape memory alloy sheet spring is adapted to the shape of the scissors fork body and is attached to the scissors fork body, so that the scissors fork body is automatically reset when deformed, and the movable track sleeper is reset by the reset scissors fork body.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme has the advantages that the shape memory alloy sheet spring is directly applied to the scissors fork in the prior art, and when the scissors fork body is deformed, the shape memory alloy sheet spring can drive the scissors fork body to automatically reset, and then the reset scissors fork body drives the displaced and deformed movable sleeper to reset, without manual resetting by an inspection personnel.
[0011] Further, the shape memory alloy sheet spring comprises:
[0012] A middle fulcrum ring body is sleeved on the middle bolt of the scissors fork body, the upper surface of the middle fulcrum ring body has two first upper pieces arranged in opposite directions, and the lower surface of the middle fulcrum ring body has two first lower pieces arranged in opposite directions;
[0013] End fulcrum ring bodies are two, which are respectively sleeved on the end bolts at the two ends of the scissors fork body, the upper surface of the end fulcrum ring body has a second upper piece, and the lower surface of the end fulcrum ring body has a second lower piece;
[0014] Side fulcrum ring bodies are four, which are respectively sleeved on the four side bolts of the side of the scissors fork body, the upper surface of the side fulcrum ring body has a third upper piece, and the lower surface of the side fulcrum ring body has a third lower piece;
[0015] The two first upper pieces are respectively connected with the two corresponding third upper pieces and are attached to the lower surface of the upper layer long arm of the scissors fork body;
[0016] The second upper piece is connected with the corresponding third upper piece and is attached to the lower surface of the upper layer short arm of the scissors fork body;
[0017] The two first lower pieces are respectively connected with the two corresponding third lower pieces and are attached to the upper surface of the lower layer long arm of the scissors fork body;
[0018] The second lower piece is connected with the corresponding third lower piece and is attached to the upper surface of the lower layer short arm of the scissors fork body.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are that the shape memory alloy sheet spring is divided into multiple single components, so that only the damaged components need to be replaced during later maintenance and replacement, without the need to replace the entire component, greatly reducing the cost.
[0020] Further, the first upper piece, the second upper piece, the third upper piece, the first lower piece, the second lower piece and the third lower piece all have shape memory characteristics.
[0021] Further, the upper surface or the lower surface of the first upper sheet, the second upper sheet, the third upper sheet, the first lower sheet, the second lower sheet and the third lower sheet is sequentially attached with a resistance wire heating layer and an insulation layer.
[0022] The shape memory alloy sheet spring is automatically reset by energizing and heating the resistance wire, thereby driving the shear fork body to reset. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
