DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] The utility model discloses a high resistance clamping assembly for a railway rail joint, such as Figure 1-9As shown, it includes two clamping plates 3 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connection between the first rail 1 and the second rail 2, the ends of the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 are aligned, and a rail gap is formed between the first rail 1 and the second rail 2. The clamping plate 3 of the utility model includes a tightening plate body 301, an upper top connection portion 302 and a lower top connection portion 304, wherein the cross section of the tightening plate body 301 is in an arched shape, the tightening plate body 301 is arched away from the first rail 1 or the second rail 2, the upper top connection portion 302 and the lower top connection portion 304 are respectively constructed at the upper and lower ends of the tightening plate body 301, and the upper top connection portion 302, the lower top connection portion 304 and the tightening plate body 301 are an integrally formed structure. The upper top connection portion 302 extends to the two ends of the tightening plate body 301 along the length direction of the tightening plate body 301, and the lower top connection portion 304 extends to the two ends of the tightening plate body 301 along the length direction of the tightening plate body 301. The utility model uses a plurality of bolts to connect the first rail 1, the second rail 2 and the two clamping plates 3. Specifically, the fastening bolts 4 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the tightening plate body 301, and each fastening bolt 4 passes through the two tightening plate bodies 301 and also passes through the corresponding first rail 1 or second rail 2. The locking nut 6 threadedly connected to each fastening bolt 4 is locked on the outer side of the corresponding tightening plate body 301. The working principle and advantage of the utility model are: the clamping plate 3 of the utility model adopts an arched tightening plate body 301 to replace the existing non-curved straight plate body, so that under the action of the fastening bolts 4 and the locking nuts 6, the two clamping plates 3 are tightly clamped at the connection between the first rail 1 and the second rail 2. Because the two tightening plates 301 have a certain ability to bend outward after being tightened, the locking nuts 6 are always in a state of being pressed, thereby preventing the locking nuts 6 from loosening. Moreover, the components for connecting the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 are mainly the upper top connection part 302 and the lower top connection part 304 of the clamping plate 3, and the upper top connection part 302 and the lower top connection part 304 are respectively tightly abutted against the corresponding components of the first rail 1 and the second rail 2, and at the same time, under the action of the tightening plate 301 that is bent outward, the upper top connection part 302 and the lower top connection part 304 always maintain a certain pre-pressure expansion on the first rail 1 and the second rail 2, so that the friction between the clamping plate 3 and the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 is maintained within a predetermined range, so as to adapt to the working conditions of large resistance, so that most of the external force is directly transmitted to the ground, and the fastening bolt 4 is subjected to very small shear force. In summary, it can be seen that the utility model can meet the requirements of the rail joint to withstand large resistance, avoid the situation where the friction between the clamping plate 3 and the rail joint is reduced, ensure that the fastening bolt 4 will not be subjected to or is subjected to a small amount of shear force, and prevent the fastening bolt 4 from breaking.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2-4As shown, the structures of the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 are the same. Taking the first rail 1 as an example, the first rail 1 includes a rail head 101, a rail waist 103 and a rail bottom 104 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the lower surface of the rail head 101 is the first wear surface 102, and the upper surface of the rail bottom 104 is the second wear surface 105. In this embodiment, the upper support surface 303 of the upper top connection part 302 is tightly against the first wear surface 102, and the lower support surface 305 of the lower top connection part 304 is tightly against the second wear surface 105. In this embodiment, after the two tightening plates 301 are tightened by the fastening bolts 4, external force acts on the connected first rail 1 and the second rail 2. The friction between the upper support surface 303 and the first wear surface 102, and the friction between the lower support surface 305 and the second wear surface 105 can ensure that the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 always maintain synchronous action, and avoid the situation where the two occur asynchronous action and cause the fastening bolts 4 to break. At the same time, the first steel rail 1, the second steel rail 2, the fastening bolts 4 and the two clamping plates 3 form a complete structure, thereby ensuring the safety of the train operation.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the friction between the upper support surface 303 and the first wear surface 102, and the friction between the lower support surface 305 and the second wear surface 105, the measures taken are as follows: Figure 7 , 8 As shown, a friction layer is constructed on the first wear surface 102 and the second wear surface 105; the friction layer is divided into two forms, the first form of the friction layer includes a diamond layer 306, and the diamond layer 306 is attached to the first wear surface 102 and the second wear surface 105. The second form of the friction layer includes a network of grooves 307, and the network of grooves 307 is opened on the first wear surface 102 and the second wear surface 105, so that the roughness of the first wear surface 102 and the second wear surface 105 becomes larger.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of vertical circular holes 308 are respectively opened on the first rail 1, the second rail 2 and the two clamping plates 3, and each fastening bolt 4 passes through the corresponding vertical circular hole 308, so that the fastening bolt 4 vertically passes through the rail waist 103 and the two clamping plates 3, and the bolt heads 5 of adjacent fastening bolts 4 are alternately arranged on both sides of the first rail 1 and the second rail 2. In this way, when subjected to external force, the shear force on the fastening bolt 4 is relatively large. During long-term use, damage to the fastening bolt 4 is inevitable. Therefore, in order to further improve the shear resistance of the fastening bolt 4, this embodiment can adopt the following method: Figure 5 , 6In the connection method shown, specifically, the fastening bolts 4 are divided into three groups, namely the first fastening group, the second fastening group and the third fastening group. Each fastening bolt 4 of the first fastening group vertically passes through the rail waist 103 and the two clamping plates 3, and each fastening bolt 4 of the second fastening group and the third fastening group obliquely passes through the rail waist 103 and the two clamping plates 3. Each fastening bolt 4 of the first fastening group, each fastening bolt 4 of the second fastening group and each fastening bolt 4 of the third fastening group are alternately arranged along the length direction of the clamping plate 3, and the two fastening bolts 4 located on both sides of the rail seam are both two fastening bolts 4 of the first fastening group; the fastening bolts 4 of the second fastening group and the fastening bolts 4 of the third fastening group adjacent to each other are symmetrically arranged, and the axis lines of the two intersect. In this way, when the fastening bolts 4 share the external force, since the fastening bolts 4 of the second fastening group and the third fastening group are arranged in an inclined manner, when the fastening bolts 4 are subjected to force, the external force can be divided into the axial component of the fastening bolts 4 and the radial component of the fastening bolts 4, and the shear force is mainly reflected in the radial component. Due to the inclined symmetrical arrangement, the radial components of force between the adjacent fastening bolts 4 of the second fastening group and the third fastening group offset each other to a part, thereby reducing the shear force of the fastening bolts 4 and preventing the fastening bolts 4 from breaking.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the number of the fastening bolts 4 of the first fastening group connected to the first rail 1 is at least 2, and the number of the fastening bolts 4 of the first fastening group connected to the second rail 2 is at least 2, ensuring that the connection position of the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 will not be deflected. The number of the fastening bolts 4 of the second fastening group connected to the first rail 1 is the same as the number of the fastening bolts 4 of the third fastening group, and the number of the fastening bolts 4 of the second fastening group connected to the second rail 2 is the same as the number of the fastening bolts 4 of the third fastening group; in this way, it is ensured that the shearing forces on the fastening bolts 4 on the first rail 1 can offset each other, and the shearing forces on the fastening bolts 4 on the second rail 2 can offset each other, thereby improving the life of the fastening bolts 4.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-7 As shown, the first inclined pad and the second inclined pad are respectively set at both ends of each fastening bolt 4 of the second fastening group and the third fastening group. Among them, one end of the first inclined pad 7 abuts against the end face of the bolt head 5, and the other end of the first inclined pad 7 abuts against the corresponding tightening plate body 301; one end of the second inclined pad 8 abuts against the corresponding tightening plate body 301, and the other end of the second inclined pad 8 abuts against the locking nut 6. This embodiment uses the first inclined pad and the second inclined pad to realize the connection between the inclined fastening bolt 4 and the two clamping plates 3, so that the two clamping plates 3 can be tightly connected with the first rail 1 and the second rail 2 to avoid looseness.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7-9 As shown, a plurality of oblique square holes 309 are provided on the tightening plate 301 along its length direction, a first assembly block 10 is constructed on the first oblique gasket 7, and a second assembly block 9 is constructed on the second oblique gasket 8, wherein the first assembly block 10 and the second assembly block 9 are respectively assembled in the corresponding oblique square holes 309, and the fastening bolt 4 passes through the first assembly block 10 and the second assembly block 9. In this way, the contact area between the fastening bolt 4 and the two tightening plate bodies 301 is increased, and the shear resistance of the fastening bolt 4 is further improved. The first oblique gasket 7 and the first assembly block 10 of this embodiment are integrally formed, and the first oblique gasket 7 and the first assembly block 10 are generally fixed by welding.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
