DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figures 1 - 4 The combined locking force sensor for detecting the close contact force of the locking iron of the turnout switch machine shown in the figure comprises a sensor force plate 1, a first n-shaped metal plate 2, a second n-shaped metal plate 3, a transmitter circuit box base 4, and a transmitter circuit box 5. A positioning point 10 is provided below the sensor force plate 1. The first n-shaped metal plate 2 and the second n-shaped metal plate 3 are combined together through the positioning point 10. The end of the sensor force plate 1 close to the second n-shaped metal plate 3 is provided with a transmitter circuit box base 4. The transmitter circuit box 5 is provided on the transmitter circuit box base 4. The transmission circuit box 5 is provided with a transmission circuit 6, and the transmission circuit 6 is connected to a wire 8. A tightening nut (7) is provided on the outside of the wire 8. One side of the sensor force plate 1 is provided with a convex pressure-bearing area 9, which can effectively transmit the pressure received by the locking iron 15. The other side of the sensor force plate 1 is provided with a force sensing area 12, which can quickly and accurately measure the force value of the pressure-bearing surface and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal. The wire 8 of the force sensing area 12 is arranged in the wiring groove 11, and the wire 8 is sealed with glue. The wire 8 extends all the way into the transmission circuit box 5.

[0020] The utility model is used to detect the close locking force between the locking hook 17 and the locking iron 15 on the operating rod of the turnout switch when the track is changed, and to detect whether the locking force value meets the track change requirement in real time online, and to judge whether the track change of the turnout switch is successful, so as to ensure the safe track change and driving of the train. When the turnout switch is installed during the railway construction, there will be a gap between the locking iron 15 and the locking frame 14, and the gap needs to be filled by adjusting the gasket 16. The structure of the spliced locking force sensor is basically consistent with the appearance of the adjusting gasket 16, and the thickness is equivalent to the gasket 16. Such a size allows the close force sensor to measure the force value in real time after installation, and can also be used as the adjusting gasket 16.

[0021] When installing, see Figure 5As shown, the combined locking force sensor is installed between the locking iron 15 and the locking frame 14, the convex pressure-bearing area 9 of the sensor is in close contact with the locking iron 15, and the locking frame 1414 is firmly fixed on the track. When changing tracks, the switch machine action rod drives the lock hook to move together, and the inclined surface on the lock hook moves to fit with the inclined surface of the locking iron 15 to form a close-fitting inclined surface. At the same time, there is an adjustment inclined surface under the action rod. The two inclined surface stroke wedge-shaped structures generate an extrusion force between the lock hook and the inclined surface of the locking iron 15. The lock hook and the locking iron 15 fit together, and the other end of the action rod pushes the track to be changed to the specified position and fixes it. At this time, the close-fitting extrusion force on the locking iron 15 will be transmitted to the convex pressure-bearing area 9 of the combined locking force sensor. The sensor can detect the locking force value in real time to determine whether the force value meets the track change requirements.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first n-shaped metal plate 2 and the second n-shaped metal plate 3 are integrally formed, the sensor force plate 1 and the transmitter circuit box base 4 are integrally formed, a limiting notch 13 is processed on the sensor force plate 1, and the first n-shaped metal plate 2 and the second n-shaped metal plate 3 and the sensor force plate 1 adopt a split structure. When installing the n-shaped metal plates, the influence of the locking force of the locking iron 15 bolts on the sensor force plate 1 can be eliminated.

[0023] The first n-shaped metal plate 2 and the second n-shaped metal plate 3 are assembled with the sensor force plate 1 through the positioning point 10. The assembled structure is close to the size of the adjustment gasket 16 and can be used as the gasket 16 to ensure that the sensor does not affect the operation of the switch machine after installation. The sensor force plate 1 is processed with a limited notch 13 to ensure that the sensor is installed in a suitable position after assembly. Figure 4 As shown, the sensor force plate 1 is processed with a concave step, which can increase the deformation of the sensor after being stressed. The sensor force plate 1 is processed with a convex pressure-bearing area 9 on one side, which can effectively transmit the pressure received by the locking iron 15. The sensor force plate 1 is processed with a force sensing area 12 on one side, which can quickly and accurately measure the force value of the pressure-bearing surface and convert it into a corresponding electrical signal. The wire 8 of the force sensing area 12 is arranged in the wiring groove 11, and the wire 8 is sealed with glue. The wire 8 extends all the way to the transmitter circuit box 5. The transmitter circuit box 5 is welded to the transmitter circuit box base 4. The wire 8 is connected to the transmitter circuit 6 in the transmitter box. The wire 8 is fixed by a tightening nut (7). The tightening nut (7) adopts an anti-loosening design to prevent the wire protection tube outside the wire 8 from falling off.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model.
