[0023] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a ballastless track slide plate assembly, including an iron pad 100, a rubber pad 200, a height adjustment pad 300, a composite eccentric sleeve 400, a first bolt 500, a first positioning mechanism 600, a second positioning mechanism 700, a main rail 800, and a switch rail 900. The iron pad 100, rubber pad 200, and height adjustment pad 300 are stacked sequentially. The first positioning mechanism 600 and the second positioning mechanism 700 are both installed on the iron pad 100 and located on the side of the iron pad 100 away from the rubber pad 200. The first positioning mechanism 600 and the second positioning mechanism 700 cooperate to fix the main rail 800. The second positioning mechanism 700 supports the switch rail 900. The composite eccentric sleeve 400 passes through the iron pad 100 and the rubber pad 200, and the first bolt 500 passes through the composite eccentric sleeve 400 for fixed connection with the turnout sleeper body.
[0025] As described above, the installation method of the ballastless track slide plate assembly provided in this embodiment is as follows: The iron pad 100, rubber pad 200, and height adjustment pad 300 are stacked sequentially, with the height adjustment pad 300 installed on top of the turnout sleeper body. A composite eccentric sleeve 400 is inserted into the iron pad 100 and rubber pad 200. The axis of the composite eccentric sleeve 400 is coaxial with the axis of the threaded hole. The composite eccentric sleeve 400 can compensate for the radial dimension difference between the iron pad 100, rubber pad 200, and height adjustment pad 300 and the threaded hole on the turnout sleeper body, improving the connection firmness. Furthermore, the first bolt 500 is passed through the composite eccentric sleeve 400 and screwed into the threaded hole on the turnout sleeper body, thereby pressing the iron pad 100, rubber pad 200, and height adjustment pad 300 onto the turnout sleeper body. The overall structure is simple and easy to assemble. During service, when the train travels on the ballastless track, the impact force generated is transmitted to the first bolt 500 through the composite eccentric sleeve 400. The first bolt 500 is subjected to balanced force and is not easy to break due to lateral shear force, resulting in a long service life.
[0026] Meanwhile, the first positioning mechanism 600 and the second positioning mechanism 700 work together to fix the base rail 800. The switch rail 900 can be installed on the second positioning mechanism 700, supported by the second positioning mechanism 700, and the position of the switch rail 900 can be adjusted relative to the second positioning mechanism 700.
[0027] The following embodiments illustrate the details of the ballastless track slide assembly of this application by way of example.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the optional ballastless track slide plate assembly includes an iron pad 100, a rubber pad 200, a height adjustment pad 300, a composite eccentric sleeve 400, a first bolt 500, a first positioning mechanism 600, a second positioning mechanism 700, a base rail 800, and a switch rail 900.
[0029] The iron pad 100 includes a plate body 110, a load-bearing protrusion 120, and a mounting protrusion 130. The plate body 110 can be a rectangular plate made of metal, and a first through hole 111 is provided on the plate body 110. The number of first through holes 111 can be multiple, and the specific number is designed as needed. This embodiment does not impose a specific limitation. The first through hole 111 can be an eccentric hole, which can match the outer contour of the cross-section of the composite eccentric sleeve 400.
[0030] Meanwhile, the data of the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the mounting protrusion 130 are designed as needed, and no specific limitations are imposed in this embodiment. Both the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the mounting protrusion 130 can be made of metal, and both the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the mounting protrusion 130 can be fixed to the plate body 110 by welding. Furthermore, the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the mounting protrusion 130 are distributed on both sides of the plate body 110.
[0031] Furthermore, the cross-section of the load-bearing protrusion 120 can be set to be waist-shaped, and a second through hole 121 is provided on the load-bearing protrusion 120. When the load-bearing protrusion 120 is fixed on the plate body 110, the second through hole 121 on the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the first through hole 111 on the plate body 110 are connected. The shapes of the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 can be set to be the same to facilitate the positioning of the composite eccentric sleeve 400.
[0032] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the plate body 110, the load-bearing protrusion 120 and the mounting protrusion 130 can also be fixed in other ways, or can be made directly by integral molding, resulting in high structural strength, strong resistance to deformation and stable load transmission.
[0033] Optionally, the rubber pad 200 is provided with clearance through holes 320210, the shape of which matches the shape of the outer contour of the cross-section of the load-bearing protrusion 120. Furthermore, the number of clearance through holes 320210 is equal to the number of load-bearing protrusions 120. During assembly, the plate body 110 is fitted against the top surface of the rubber pad 200, and each load-bearing protrusion 120 can pass through a corresponding clearance through hole 320210, with the outer peripheral surface of the load-bearing protrusion 120 contacting the hole wall of the clearance through hole 320210.
[0034] Optionally, the height adjustment pad 300 can be made of a non-metallic material, such as rubber, plastic, or polyethylene. The thickness of the height adjustment pad 300 is designed as needed, i.e., determined according to the height increase of the base rail 800. Furthermore, the number of height adjustment pads 300 is not limited to one; it can also be two, etc. The height adjustment pad 300 is provided with a positioning groove 310. The shape of the positioning groove 310 can be consistent with the outer contour of the cross-section of the load-bearing protrusion 120. The number of positioning grooves 310 is designed as needed, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Simultaneously, the bottom wall of the positioning groove 310 is provided with a clearance through hole 320. The clearance through hole 320 can be a circular hole, and its diameter is smaller than the lateral dimension of the bottom wall. In this way, the portion of the bottom wall not penetrated by the clearance through hole 320 is an annular surface. After the composite eccentric sleeve 400 passes through the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, it can enter the positioning groove 310. The end of the composite eccentric sleeve 400 away from the iron pad 100 contacts the annular surface. When the composite eccentric sleeve 400 is pressed onto the iron pad 100 by the first bolt 500, there is friction between the composite eccentric sleeve 400 and the annular surface, which can offset part of the transverse shear force, reduce the external force on the first bolt 500, and make the first bolt 500 less likely to break or be damaged.
[0035] In this embodiment, optionally, the composite eccentric sleeve 400 includes an inner sleeve 410 and an eccentric outer sleeve 420. The eccentric outer sleeve 420 is sleeved and fixed outside the inner sleeve 410. The two can be fixed together by injection molding, that is, the eccentric outer sleeve 420 is injection molded outside the inner sleeve 410, and the eccentric outer sleeve 420 covers the bottom end and part of the outer peripheral surface of the inner sleeve 410. During assembly, the eccentric outer sleeve 420 passes through the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, and the bottom of the eccentric outer sleeve 420 can contact the bottom wall of the positioning groove 310. The first bolt 500 passes through the inner sleeve 410.
[0036] Optionally, the top of the inner bushing 410 is provided with an outward-turned end cap. During the tightening of the first bolt 500, the first bolt 500 can contact the outward-turned end cap, thereby locking the composite eccentric sleeve 400.
[0037] In this embodiment, optionally, the first positioning mechanism 600 includes a double-arm clamping spring strip 610, a second bolt 620, and a gauge block 630. The second bolt 620 is fixedly connected to the iron pad 100 and cooperates with the iron pad 100 to clamp the double-arm clamping spring strip 610. The gauge block 630 is installed on the iron pad 100, and the double-arm clamping spring strip 610 presses the iron pad 100 and the gauge block 630 onto the bottom of the base rail 800.
[0038] Optionally, the second positioning mechanism 700 includes a fixed base 710 and an elastic clamping strip 720. The fixed base 710 and the iron pad 100 can be fixedly connected by welding. The fixed base 710 and the iron pad 100 cooperate to clamp the elastic clamping strip 720, and the elastic clamping strip 720 cooperates with the iron pad 100 to clamp the bottom of the base rail 800. In this way, by pressing the elastic strip 610 and the elastic clamping strip 720 with both arms to clamp the bottom sides of the base rail 800 respectively, the position of the base rail 800 is achieved, and the positioning is stable and reliable.
[0039] The ballastless track slide plate assembly provided in this embodiment has a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to assemble, and during train operation, the impact force is transmitted to the composite eccentric sleeve 400 through the iron pad 100, and then to the first bolt 500 through the composite eccentric sleeve 400. The impact force on the first bolt 500 is dispersed along the axial direction of the first bolt 500, making it less likely for external force to concentrate. The first bolt 500 is not easily broken or damaged, and its use is safe and reliable.
[0040] This embodiment also provides a ballastless track system, including the ballastless track slide plate assembly of the above embodiment, which has advantages such as low assembly difficulty, low assembly cost and low failure rate.
[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
