Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail residual stress testing, in particular to a rail residual stress testing device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the railway transportation industry, high-speed and heavy-duty railways have higher requirements for the stability and safety of rail service. When in service, the rails are subjected to alternating loads perpendicular to the rail head and periodically changing friction between the wheel and rail. If the above two forces are superimposed on the residual stress in the rail, it is very easy to induce cracks inside the rail and cause the cracks to expand rapidly during service, resulting in rail breakage and unnecessary safety accidents. The alternating loads and longitudinal friction that the rails are subjected to during service are external factors and cannot be changed. Therefore, controlling the residual stress of the rails within a reasonable range is an important indicator for rail production. It is also a must-check item before the rails leave the factory. At present, the main basis for residual stress detection is the implementation of standard TB / T2344-2020. The standard requires that the strain gauge be pasted to the center of the bottom surface of a 1m long rail and a 20mm thick sample be sawed (see Figure 1 ), measure the strain value released before and after sawing, and then multiply it by 2.07×105MPa to get the residual stress of the rail.

[0003] In fact, when sawing rails, it is difficult to ensure that the thickness of the sample is 20mm due to the constraints of strain gauges, terminals and wires. When the terminals and strain gauges are fixed, in order to ensure good contact between the two, the wires cannot move significantly. However, when sawing, the saw blade is perpendicular to the wire. In order to avoid the wire being cut during sawing, the cutting line needs to be appropriately away from the terminal, and the wire is gently pulled up vertically to avoid the saw blade to complete the cutting. (See Figure 2 ) This will result in the slice thickness exceeding 20mm, sometimes even reaching 30mm, which does not meet the standard requirements. According to theoretical analysis, this will lead to smaller measurement results and affect the measurement accuracy. Utility Model Content
