[0047] Figure 1 The application also discloses a railway track maintenance method, which is realized by using the above-mentioned assembly type elastic solidified ballast bed replacement method when the old sleepers and solidified ballast are replaced by new sleepers and solidified ballast after the track is broken. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0048] An assembly type elastic solidified ballast bed replacement method, characterized in that the method comprises a preparation stage, a replacement stage and a recovery stage.
[0049] The preparation stage: the construction datum is established through data measurement, the gantry crane temporary track is laid, the anti-cracking property of the support pier is strengthened, the temperature stress of the steel rail cut joint is released, and high-precision and high-stability operation conditions are provided for subsequent construction.
[0050] The preparation stage comprises data measurement, laying of the gantry crane temporary track, removal of the ballast on both sides and between sleepers, and steel rail cut joint.
[0051] Data measurement: a total station and a laser scanner are combined to perform three-dimensional modeling on the track alignment, digital construction datum is generated by combining the fastener adjustment amount (monitored dynamically by a torque sensor) and the ballast thickness (ultrasonic thickness gauge) data. The traditional method relies on manual measurement, and has large error and long time consumption. The application improves the precision to ±0.5mm through digital modeling, and provides a high-precision datum for subsequent fine adjustment.
[0052] Laying of the gantry crane temporary track: a stable support platform is provided for the gantry crane, the track smoothness is ensured, and local settlement is prevented. The temporary support pier design: the longitudinal spacing of the temporary support pier is 6m (non-removal area) and 3m (removal area): based on the track load distribution and support pier bearing capacity calculation, the support pier spacing is encrypted to 3m when the local load in the removal section is increased, and the track settlement is prevented.
[0053] The support pier size is 400mm*500mm*≥100mm: the bending moment bearing demand of the gantry crane walking channel steel (channel steel specification is 18#) is verified through finite element simulation;
[0054] (2) Material and structure: fast-hardening polymer concrete: add early strength agent (such as sulphoaluminate cement) and polymer fiber, so that the strength of the pier reaches 20 MPa within 12 hours, and the construction period is shortened; glass fiber cloth is laid at intervals: one layer of glass fiber cloth (tensile strength ≥ 100 MPa) is laid every 100 mm of height, which significantly improves the anti-cracking performance of the pier and avoids the expansion of cracks in traditional concrete piers due to vibration. The traditional pier needs to be cured for more than 24 hours and is prone to cracking. Through material and structure optimization, the construction time of the pier is shortened by 50%, and the anti-cracking performance is improved by 3 times.
[0055] (3) Installation process: lay a non-woven fabric isolation layer on the inside of the formwork; the channel steel is fixed to the pier by expansion screws, and the lap joint is seamless.
[0056] The two sides and the sleeper interval ballast are removed: the working surface is cleaned to the invert backfill layer, providing an obstacle-free construction space for sleeper replacement, including (1) layered removal of unhardened ballast, depth to the surface of the invert; (2) removal of ballast for temporary storage: evenly spread on adjacent tracks or stored in a comprehensive cavern.
[0057] The steel rail cut joint: releases the thermal stress of the steel rail, avoiding deformation of the track due to thermal expansion and contraction during construction, including: (1) limiting the length of the cut joint, determined according to the steel rail thermal stress formula; (2) when ΔT ≤ 20℃, the expansion amount ΔL, matching the gap design of the clamping plate, completely absorbing the expansion amount; (3) using a clamping plate to connect the cut joint steel rail, daily disassembly and assembly of the clamping plate to cooperate with the rail shifting operation, and restoring seamless after construction. The traditional cut joint length is arbitrary, which easily leads to rail stress exceeding the limit. The present invention limits the length of the cut joint through theoretical calculation, combined with dynamic adjustment of the clamping plate gap, to eliminate the influence of thermal stress on track smoothness.
[0058] Replacement stage: using transverse rail shifting, slide low resistance design, new rail sleeper interval indirect fine adjustment technology and dynamic mortar pouring process, realizing efficient replacement of sleepers and non-destructive repair of track bed structure;
[0059] The replacement stage includes the following steps:
[0060] 1) Remove the fasteners
[0061] Remove the fasteners in the rail shifting section. For seamless steel rails, the length of the fasteners to be removed should be determined according to the difference between the operating temperature and the locking rail temperature;
[0062] 2) Transverse rail shifting
[0063] Install transverse rail shifting equipment, including rail shifting tooling, steel rail slide and anti-slip device. The rail shifting tooling is used for large super-high sections of seamless steel rails and jointed steel rails; the steel rail slide is used for all rail shifting sections; the anti-slip device is used for jointed steel rail sections with large longitudinal slopes;
[0064] The rail pushing distance is 800-850 mm: according to the sleeper width (the standard sleeper width is 300 mm) and the operation space requirement, through simulation verification, 800 mm is the minimum safety distance (to avoid colliding with the edge of the sleeper), and 850 mm is the maximum economic distance (to reduce the length of the rail slide).
[0065] The rail pushing tool is cooperatively designed with the slide:
[0066] The rail pushing tool adopts a hydraulic pushing device (the pushing force is greater than or equal to 10 T), and is suitable for pushing the seamless rail in a large super-high section (the curve radius is less than or equal to 800 m).
[0067] The surface of the rail slide is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating (the friction coefficient is less than or equal to 0.1), and the rail pushing resistance is reduced by 30%.
[0068] The traditional rail pushing relies on manpower or a single machine, and the efficiency is low and the fasteners are easily damaged. Through cooperative design of the equipment and parameter optimization, the rail pushing efficiency is improved by 2 times, and the rail resetting accuracy is ±1 mm.
[0069] 3) Assemble the gantry crane
[0070] The fasteners are removed, the rail is pushed, the gantry crane is assembled and debugged, and the new sleeper is unloaded at the same time;
[0071] 4) Unload the new sleeper
[0072] After the gantry crane is assembled and debugged, the new sleeper is unloaded from the rail flat car by the gantry crane and longitudinally transported to the replacement sleeper position for temporary storage;
[0073] 5) Remove the old sleeper
[0074] The old sleeper is lifted, transported and loaded onto the rail flat car by the gantry crane; after the old sleeper is loaded, the gantry crane is removed and loaded;
[0075] 6) Push the rail back and install the fasteners
[0076] The rail is pushed back by the rail pushing tool or manpower, and the fasteners are installed, including the fasteners of the new replacement sleeper.
[0077] 7) Fine adjustment of the new sleeper
[0078] After the new sleeper is hung on the rail by the fasteners, the position of the new sleeper is indirectly adjusted by adjusting the position of the rail through the screw rod; the bidirectional screw rod (the pitch is 5 mm, and the accuracy is ±0.02 mm) is used to adjust the transverse position of the rail, and the displacement of the sleeper is indirectly controlled through the rigid connection between the rail and the sleeper fastener. During the adjustment, the gap value of the adjacent mortar bag is monitored in real time (monitored by a laser displacement sensor, and the threshold value is less than or equal to 0.3 mm), so that the existing solidified layer is not damaged during the fine adjustment process.
[0079] Traditional fine adjustment directly moves the rail sleeper, which easily disturbs the ballast layer. The application indirectly adjusts through the rail, the precision is improved to ±0.5mm, and the mortar bag is avoided from being separated from the joint.
[0080] 8) Mortar bag filling
[0081] The mortar filling bag is laid under the sleeper solidified ballast, and the filling layer mortar is refilled.
[0082] Flexible adjustment of longitudinal length: According to the sleeper spacing (standard 600mm), the single sleeper (600mm) or double sleeper (1200mm) filling is dynamically selected to replace the original design of 3m fixed length. Through the matching of fluidity mortar (slump 180±20mm) and tensile strength of the bag body (≥5kN / m), the filling density is ensured to be ≥95%.
[0083] Traditional fixed length filling is easy to cause material waste or filling not dense. The application dynamically adjusts, the material utilization rate is improved by 20%, and the dense rate is improved to 98%.
[0084] Restoration stage: Through high-frequency tamping to optimize the ballast density, narrow gap welding to reduce the heat affected zone, and BIM-based line fine adjustment, the track smoothness and structural integrity are restored.
[0085] Ballast tamping: high-frequency pneumatic tamping machine: adopt tamping head with vibration frequency 40Hz and exciting force 5kN, combined with ballast grading optimization (particle size 10~30mm accounts for ≥70%), so that the transverse resistance of the ballast bed is improved to 12kN / sleeper (traditional method is 8kN / sleeper).
[0086] Rail welding: narrow gap flash welding: for the 50m short rail after cutting, narrow gap welding (gap 8~10mm) is adopted, the welding heat affected zone is ≤20mm (traditional arc welding is 50mm), which significantly reduces the welding residual stress.
[0087] Line fine adjustment: dynamic adjustment based on BIM: import the track alignment data before and after construction into the BIM model, generate fine adjustment vector diagram, guide the tamping machine to adjust with the accuracy of 0.1mm, and finally the track smoothness (TQI index) is ≤2.0 (traditional method is 3.5).
[0088] The application proposes a prefabricated elastic solidified ballast replacement scheme, including process flow and detailed construction scheme. The overall scheme is to replace the old sleeper and solidified ballast with new sleeper and solidified ballast after tamping. For concentrated replacement, the tamping method after cutting is adopted to maximize the construction efficiency; for scattered replacement, the tamping method after cutting is adopted to minimize the damage to the rail.
[0089] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the above-mentioned embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed present application.
