[0002] At present, large-volume, fast, safe and punctual rail transit has become the preferred public transportation to solve urban traffic congestion, and the property development behind the vehicle depot is becoming more and more popular. In the prior art, the vehicle depot mainly uses fixed turnouts with small numbers of 9 and below. The fixed frogs in the turnouts have "harmful space", which leads to large wheel-rail vibration noise and complaints from surrounding residents. The movable heart rail frog can eliminate the "harmful space", provide continuous running conditions for the train, alleviate the wheel-rail impact vibration to a large extent, and reduce noise. The existing movable heart rail frogs are mainly used for high-speed mainline railways, with rail types of 60kg / m rails and above, and the turnout numbers are mainly 12 and above; for small-number turnouts of 9 and below, because the rail type of the turnout is small, the range of heart rail type selection is limited. If a new type of short rail is developed, if the production batch is not large enough, the cost of rolling the rail is very high, and it is difficult to promote and apply it in the turnout. For this reason, it is urgent to develop a small-number movable heart rail frog for urban rail transit with high cost performance. Utility Model Content
