Specific implementation mode Embodiment 1:

[0029] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a pressure sensor for the installation of ordinary sleepers. The pressure sensor 1 includes a long strip-shaped base body 11, and the middle part of the long strip-shaped base body 11 bulges towards both sides to form a convex platform 12. For example, the convex platform in this Embodiment 1 is a rectangular body. A through hole 13 is opened at the center of the upper end surface of the convex platform 12, and mounting holes Ⅰ14 are also opened on the upper end surface of the convex platform 12. There are four mounting holes Ⅰ14 in this Embodiment 1, and the four mounting holes Ⅰ14 are evenly distributed around the central axis of the through hole 13, exactly located at the four corners of the rectangular body. Connecting holes Ⅰ15 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the upper end surface of the long strip-shaped base body 11, and blind holes 16 are arranged on the long strip-shaped base body 11. The blind holes 16 are located on both sides of the convex platform 12 and are symmetrically arranged. A strain gauge is arranged in each blind hole 16.

[0030] This pressure sensor 1 has a symmetric structure, balanced force, and good stability. Embodiment 2:

[0031] As Figures 6 to 9 shown in the figure, a pressure detection device for the installation of ordinary sleepers includes the pressure sensor 1 described in Embodiment 1, and also includes a rail clip bracket 2 and a support frame 3. Both ends of the pressure sensor 1 are rigidly connected to the rail 4 through a pair of rail clip brackets 2, and the middle part of the pressure sensor 1 is fixedly installed on the sleeper 5 through a mounting base plate 3. The specific structure of this pressure detection device is as follows:

[0032] The pressure sensor 1 includes a long strip-shaped base body 11, and the middle part of the long strip-shaped base body 11 bulges towards both sides to form a convex platform 12. A through hole 13 is opened at the center of the upper end surface of the convex platform 12, which is convenient for fixing the mounting base plate on the sleeper. Mounting holes Ⅰ14 are also opened on the upper end surface of the convex platform 12, which are used to fix the sensor on the mounting base plate. Connecting holes Ⅰ15 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the upper end surface of the long strip-shaped base body 11. Two blind holes 16 are coaxially arranged on the front surface facing the rail and the rear surface facing away from the rail of the long strip-shaped base body 11. The blind holes 16 on the same side are located on both sides of the convex platform 12 and are symmetrically arranged. A strain gauge is arranged in each blind hole 16.

[0033] In this Embodiment 2, the rail clip bracket 2 is square-shaped, and the rail clip bracket 2 is provided with an inner groove, a connecting hole Ⅱ, and a mounting hole Ⅱ (not marked in the figure) for installing the pressure sensor 1. The size of the inner groove fits the lower convex edge of the cross-section of the rail 4. The mounting base plate 3 is of an inverted convex platform structure. The mounting base plate 3 is provided with a mounting hole Ⅲ (not marked in the figure) for connecting with the sleeper 5 and a mounting hole Ⅳ (not marked in the figure) for installing the pressure sensor 1. The through hole 13 on the convex platform 12 is a circular through hole, and its aperture is larger than the aperture of the mounting hole Ⅲ, which is convenient for the mounting base plate 3 to be operatively installed and fixed on the sleeper 5 through the through hole 13.

[0034] In the assembled state, a set of pressure sensors 1 need to be installed on the inner and outer sides of the two rails on the same sleeper in each measuring area, that is, the pressure sensors 1 are symmetrically distributed and installed on both sides of the sleeper. During installation, with the center line of the sleeper as the center, two rail buckle brackets 2 that form a pair are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the rail, centered and buckled against the lower edge of the rail 4, and connecting bolts 6 are inserted through the connection holes and tightened to fix the rail buckle brackets 2 on the rail 4; both ends of the long strip-shaped base body 11 of the pressure sensor 1 are fixedly installed on the rail buckle brackets 2 through the cooperation of fixing bolts III 9 with connection holes I 15 and mounting holes II; the two rail buckle brackets 2 on the same side of the rail are connected by the pressure sensor 1; the mounting holes III of the mounting base plate 3 are located below the through holes 13 opened on the convex platform, and the mounting base plate 3 is fixedly installed on the sleeper 5 through the cooperation of fixing bolts I 7 passing through the through holes 13 and the mounting holes III; the middle convex platform 12 of the long strip-shaped base body 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting base plate 3 through the cooperation of fixing bolts II 8 with connection holes I 14 and mounting holes IV.

[0035] In this Embodiment 2, there is a micro-distance suspension between the bottom surface of the rail in the measuring area and the rail supporting surface, leaving a deformation space for the downward swing of the rail. When the wheel passes by, the deformation of the rail drives the rail buckle bracket 4 to move downward, and the front and rear ends of the pressure sensor 1 are connected to the rail buckle bracket 4 and move along with it, while the middle part is connected to the sleeper and is relatively stationary. The dislocation difference drives the deformation of the pressure sensor 1, so that the sensor is stressed and generates a signal.

[0036] This pressure sensor and pressure detection device for the installation of ordinary sleepers can be widely applied to railway weighing occasions such as overloading and offloading detection devices and rail scales for railway freight cars, and does not affect the safety of train operation. There is no need to install special sleepers, achieving the purpose of saving construction time and construction costs.

[0037] The parts not involved in the present invention are the same as or can be implemented by the prior art. The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is only limited to the records of the above embodiments.
